Authors: Amima Alda Fildza , Khoiriyah Rahmawati , Shamsuddin Muhammad Aiman Hakim Bin
Published: June 2024

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi variabel yang mempengaruhi Pembiayaan Bermasalah (NPF) pada perbankan syariah di Indonesia. Tingkat konsumsi (GDP), Kenaikan harga (Inflasi), Kecukupan modal (CAR), Beban Operasional dan Pendapatan Operasional (BOPO) adalah variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebagai variabel independen. Data ini diuji dengan metode regresi berganda setelah diambil dari Laporan Perkembangan Keuangan Syariah. Bank umum syariah yang terdaftar di Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) antara tahun 2018 hingga 2022 menjadi subjek penelitian ini. Karena bank umum syariah lainnya tidak sesuai dengan kriteria penelitian, maka lima jenis bank umum syariah yang berbeda menjadi sampel observasi penelitian. Temuan studi ini menunjukkan bahwa dampak Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) yang dapat diabaikan, tidak ada satupun variabel yang memiliki dampak besar terhadap non-performing financing (NPF). Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa kecukupan modal berdampak positif dan signifikan pada pembiayaan bermasalah (NPF). Sedangkan dalam penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa Kecukupan modal (CAR) berpengaruh negatif terhadap pembiayaan bermasalah (NPF).

Authors: Canul-Turriza Román Alejandro , Aké-Turriza Karianna , May-Tzuc Oscar , Jiménez-Torres Mario
Published: June 2024

The urbanization of the city of San Francisco de Campeche influences the formation of urban heat islands due to construction materials, buildings and structures, human activities, lack of vegetation, and transportation infrastructure. Heat islands have negative consequences such as increased energy consumption and heat stress for the population, contributing to climate change due to increased greenhouse gas emissions caused by additional energy demand. Cities such as Sydney, Beijing, Nanjing, Moscow, and Hong Kong are implementing urban planning strategies that promote urban vegetation, the use of reflective building materials, the improvement of public transport, and the promotion of energy efficiency in buildings. Landsat satellite images were used to analyze population growth and urban sprawl to identify heat islands, and a vegetation index analysis was also made. Regarding the analyses, it was recognized that the temperature increased by approximately 6°C between 1990 and 2022. There has also been a decrease in vegetation due to the urban sprawl and housing growth, quadrupling the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the 0-0.25 class for the same period. Finally, mitigation measures are proposed to counteract the effects caused by heat islands in the city.
Produciendo periferias: morfología y habitabilidad en las conurbaciones de Cuenca, Ecuador
Authors: Pesántez-Yépez Michelle Estefanía , Cabrera-Jara Natasha Eulalia
Published: June 2024

The expansion of Latin American intermediate cities has left irregular and discontinuous occupation patterns in their peripheral territories. In appearance, the configurations of the urban edges do not have relevant differences. In fact, each morphological structure is heterogeneous and has its own behaviors, different occupation motivations, and diverse resulting consolidated models. In Cuenca, Ecuador, these diffuse zones between the urban and rural limits are marked by segregation dynamics and dependence on the consolidated center and have the lowest quality-of-life indexes in the city. In this context, the objective of the research was to find a possible relationship between the types of peripheral morphologies and the levels of urban habitability of four city urban centers, using a quantitative methodological design with a two-stage correlational scope. Initially, urban morphologies were classified, and the habitability levels were rated separately, applying independent instruments. Then, the results were cross-checked to describe possible links between variables. The findings highlight significant disparities in habitability between conurbations and define an apparent direct correlation between the two dimensions of analysis.
¿Ciudad fragmentada o desintegrada? Los modelos urbanos aplicados a las ciudades intermedias en México desde la geodemografía
Authors: Gómez-Maturano Ricardo
Published: June 2024

Urban models are fundamental in the theoretical and empirical discussions about cities. However, the Latin American city models proposed by German geographers have not been questioned much despite their use, and there are few studies outside the large metropolitan areas. Therefore, this article, using geodemography, seeks to identify whether there is a residential structure pattern in the intermediate cities of Mexico's National Urban System. This methodological proposal looks to use new spatial analysis tools focused on lifestyles and the study of one of the great layers that urban models have: their residential structure. The results show that, firstly, using the models and their temporalities as a kaleidoscope, it is possible to identify the multiple patterns of cities and not just a single model. Secondly, a new disintegrated pattern appears where the classical models of the Chicago School are unrecognizable, and the fragmented city is left disintegrated.
Socio-legal monitoring and its importance for identifying and establishing the limits of the scope of legal regulation
Authors: Zaitseva Ekaterina S.
Published: June 2024

At any stage of the development of the state and society, there arises a need to identify the objective necessity for legal regulation of social relations. In addressing this issue, the legislator is confronted with two main challenges: on the one hand, they must avoid artificially expanding the scope of legal regulation, and on the other hand, unnecessarily narrowing it, since both may diminish the regulatory properties of law, thereby negatively affecting its effectiveness. Establishing the limits of legal regulation necessitates the use of various law-making technologies, which include socio-legal monitoring. The objective of this study is to delineate the essence of socio-legal monitoring as an independent law-making technology and a form of legal activity of the same name that enables setting the limits of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the research comprises the universal dialectical-materialistic method, as well as general scientific techniques (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, comparison, and some others) and specific scientific methods (formal legal, comparative legal) of scientific knowledge. Socio-legal monitoring is a law-making technology aimed at analyzing and evaluating the content and form of law-making, interpretation, law enforcement activities, legal provisions, as well as public relations by collecting diverse information in order to enhance the efficiency of legal regulation. This law-making technology forms the basis for implementing the same type of legal activity. The social nature of legal monitoring is determined by the inclusion of social relations (the object of legal regulation) among the objects of monitoring, the analysis of which enables to identify the scope of legal regulation and consolidate it as the subject of legal regulation. In terms of identifying and establishing the limits of the scope of legal regulation, three significant types of socio-legal monitoring can be distinguished. The specifics of each type will determine the place and potential use of this technology, as well as its significance: monitoring of public relations, monitoring of interpretive practice and monitoring of law enforcement practice.
«Impressions of a jurer» by G.S.N. as a source for studying the Russian jury trial of the late XIXth century
Authors: Demichev Alexey A.
Published: June 2024

The document Impressions of a Juror is analyzed as a personal account of an anonymous author, G.S.N., who recounted his experiences as a juror in legal proceedings in the Russian Empire in the late 19th century. Both external and internal criticism of the source is conducted, facilitating the establishment of the approximate place, time, and purpose of its creation. Furthemore, the socio-psychological portrait of the author is reconstructed, considering aspects such as social affiliation, level of education, place of residence, and certain psychological characteristics. The analysis acknowledges the uniqueness of Impressions of a Juror, which not being a part of mainstream historical sources, remain a distinctive work. On the other hand, it shares characteristics inherent in other personal documents from jurors of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century, particularly regarding its general character, presentation style, and the scope of covered issues. It is noted that the factual value of the source under consideration is limited, as it does not allow for the comprehensive reconstruction of the judiciary and legal proceedings in the Russian Empire, nor does it facilitate a complete understanding of the criminal cases under consideration. Despite these limitations, the conclusion is drawn that Impressions of a Juror holds cognitive value due to its provision of information not found in other historical sources. The document offers details that breathe like into the specifics that were previously only studied on the basis on normative legal texts, and official statistics. Thus while the source may not provide an all-encompassing view of the legal landscate of the Russian Empire, it contributes a unique perspective that enriches the understanding of historical proceedings.
Emile Durkheim’s social research in the context of human rights activism
Authors: Kucherenko Petr A. , Nazarshoev Firuzsho K.
Published: June 2024

This article provides an analysis of the fundamental categories of Emile Durkheim’s theory within the framework of his methodology for social research and the phenomenon of human rights activism. It examines categories such as “social fact”, “solidarity”, “collective consciousness”, and “anomie” in the context of human rights activities. A distinctive feature of the article is its interdisciplinary approach, integrating sociological research results into the field of jurisprudence. The article explores a range of works by the French sociologist and philosopher Emile Durkheim, as well as relevant works by other philosophers, along with the contribution of contemporary Russian legal scholars within the aforementioned context. Given the growing demand for works on human rights issues in both Russian and global legal science, the authors conclude that a comprehensive understanding of the nature of individual rights and legal violations facilitates their more effective, profound, and systematic protection, not only in a reactionary sense, but also by enabling a preventive function in human rights activism. In this regard, the acquired sociological and legal knowledge seems pertinent, sought after, and can be utilized in subsequent doctrinal developments.
Modern forms of a prophecy: From written word to audiovisual Internet product
Authors: Fomin Andrey G. , Karacheva Nadezhda S.
Published: June 2024

Prophecies contain a unique cultural and linguistic code, which plays an essential role in organizing the linguistic worldview and shapes national consciousness. The article aims to specify the linguistic features of prophecies and identify their modern forms. To achieve this goal, biblical texts were compared with modern prophecies within and outside religion. Due to the phenomenon's complexity, the material selection criteria were flexible. The Canonic Bible was the initial source of the material (4 books of Major Prophets and 12 books of Minor Prophets). The modern prophecies were obtained from 2 collections of written prophecies (157 texts) as well as 10 audio recordings of prophetic sessions (4 hours) and 40 videos (10 hours). We explored prophetic texts and changes in their forms using semiotic modeling. The interdisciplinary nature of the research necessitated the use of the descriptive method, as well as methods of contextual, interpretative, and content analysis to identify the meaning of the linguistic units by highlighting mechanisms of the construction of meaning. The chosen methods helped to identify the meanings of linguistic units, highlighting the mechanisms of constructing meaning, as well as the ethnocultural language code of prophecies. The method of interpretative analysis made it possible to determine the patterns of expression of meaning associated with the system of ideal images and the rules for their transformation into meanings. The results of the study demonstrated a clear simplification of the initial characteristics during the transition of biblical prophecies from written form to an audiovisual Internet product. In addition, the results revealed an obvious displacement of the vector of decoding and interpretation of ethnoculturally-conditioned components. Further research will allow us to build a linguosemiotic model of prophetic discourse to trace ethnocultural and linguistic changes in the form, content, and entire genre of prophecy, which will open up new prospects for the study and interpretation of the phenomenon itself.
Facework in teacher-student email interactions
Authors: Tsoumou Jean Mathieu
Published: June 2024

Two trends have become prominent in higher education worldwide. On the one hand, globalization has favored the expansion and influence of the English language. On the other hand, email has become one of the main forms of communication in academic settings, especially in teacher-student out-of-class correspondence. While these facts have increasingly attracted scholarship attention, studies in education seem to focus more on the students’ display of face(work) alone, while neglecting the teacher’s counterpart. To redress this imbalance, the present study aims to examine face(work) as displayed in students’ email requests for consideration (e.g., on late assignments submission and class attendance) and teachers’ responses. A qualitative analysis of 20 sets of teacher-student interactions reveals different strategies opted for by the students and the teacher in face(work) management. Drawing on face-constituting theory, the findings show that whilst the students are concerned with their own face alone, the teacher is concerned with how to avoid classroom conflicts in the way that attends to one’s own face, the students’ face and the classroom harmony. In this way, the management of face(work) operates in a complex and dynamic way that allows the co-construction and reaffirmation of their respective identities. For example, whilst the students’ actions overlook the relevance of the interdependence relation between them, their peers and the teacher, which is critical for the harmony of the classroom, the teacher’s actions privilege connectedness over separateness. Furthermore, the findings suggest that cultural specificities governing the backgrounds of both the teacher and the students are not always influential in the management of face in email interactions.

Designing English Reading Materials For Law Students
Authors: Anwar Qosim Khoiri , Triana Yunika , Umwari Yvette
Published: June 2024

English is a language that is generally difficult to understand for most students. Providing reading materials is one of the necessary approaches that should be undertaken by professors. This research aims to explore information regarding the needs of students in learning English and describe how reading materials for law students at a university in Indonesia are designed. The research and development (R&D) method is employed, implementing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The results indicate that the majority of students greatly require materials that can enhance their reading skills. After the reading materials are designed and implemented in class, an evaluation is conducted to further develop the materials. The evaluation results, as responded to by students and expert professors, indicate that the materials align with the students’ needs. The average percentage of students’ needs fulfilled by the reading materials is 84%, while the average assessment percentage from the experts is 90.4%. This demonstrates that the reading materials are valid for use as English learning materials for law students.

The relationship of plant diversity and several ecosystem functions
strengthens over time. This suggests that the restructuring of biotic
interactions in the process of a community’s assembly and the associated
changes in function differ between species-rich and species-poor
communities. An important component of these changes is the feedback
between plant and soil community history. In this study, we examined the
interactive effects of plant richness and community history on the
trophic functions of the soil fauna community. We hypothesized that
experimental removal of either soil or plant community history would
diminish the positive effects of plant richness on the multitrophic
functions of the soil food-web, compared to mature communities. We
tested this hypothesis in a long-term grassland biodiversity experiment
by comparing plots across three treatments (without plant history,
without plant and soil history, controls with ~20 years
of plot specific community history). We found that the relationship
between plant richness and belowground multitrophic functionality is
indeed stronger in communities with shared plant and soil community
history. Our findings indicate that anthropogenic disturbance can impact
the functioning of the soil community through the loss of plant species
but also by preventing feedbacks that develop in the process of
community assembly.

Authors: Manas Nadhrah , Zakuan Norhayati , Saman Muhamad Zameri Mat , Setapa Mariam
Published: June 2024

SMEs are crucial to the economic growth of many countries, particularly developing ones like Malaysia. SMEs have contributed significantly to economic growth but they also often struggle with problems related to poor management, which increases the risk of failure and closure. Effective risk management is essential in sustaining the long-term sustainability of SMEs and improving managerial performance. This study investigates the enterprise risk management (ERM) practices used by Malaysian SMEs in the manufacturing sector. The factors influencing the risk management behaviors and practices of SME manufacturing workers and their compliance with risk management protocols are examined in this study using a mixed-methods approach. This study focuses on employee behavior to better understand how organizational culture affects risk management techniques in SMEs. To design effective reward and recognition programs, this research also examines the psychological components of risk management while accounting for the organizational, societal, and financial challenges that followed the 2008 financial crisis. The study also examines the impact of organizational structure on the efficacy of risk management initiatives in small and medium-sized enterprises. The practical findings of the study are expected to demonstrate the extent to which ERM influences organizational effectiveness in Malaysia's SME manufacturing sector. This study intends to equip industry participants with the knowledge and confidence necessary to implement ERM successfully in their operations by offering insights into the factors that encourage and impede ERM adoption and its impact on organizational performance. This research advances ERM practices among SMEs and strengthens Malaysian businesses' resilience and risk awareness.

Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the association between maternal blood glucose patterns throughout pregnancy and neonatal amino acids and acylcarnitines.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a prospective cohort study involving 11,457 singleton pregnant women without preexisting diabetes from the Beijing Birth Cohort Study, along with their neonates born between July 2021 and October 2022 in Beijing, China. Distinct maternal glucose trajectories were identified using a latent class model based on blood glucose levels across the three trimesters, and their association with neonatal circulating metabolites, including 11 amino acids and 33 acylcarnitines, was examined, adjusting for potential confounding factors.

RESULTS

Three distinct groups of maternal glucose trajectories were identified: consistent normoglycemia (n = 8,648), mid-to-late gestational hyperglycemia (n = 2,540), and early-onset hyperglycemia (n = 269). Mid-to-late gestational hyperglycemia was associated with decreased levels of amino acids (alanine, arginine, ornithine, and proline) involved in the arginine and proline metabolism and urea cycle pathway, as well as increased levels of C4DC+C5-OH and decreased level of C6DC and C10:1. Early-onset hyperglycemia was associated with elevated levels of free acylcarnitine and C4DC+C5-OH and a decreased level of C10:1, involved in the fatty acid oxidation pathway. However, these associations were primarily observed in male neonates rather than in female neonates.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings revealed a significant link between maternal glucose trajectories throughout pregnancy and neonatal arginine and proline metabolism, urea cycle pathway, and fatty acid oxidation pathway. These results highlight the importance of maintaining optimal blood glucose levels throughout pregnancy to promote healthy neonatal metabolic outcomes.
Development of novel tools for dissection of central versus peripheral dopamine D2-like receptor signaling in dysglycemia

Dopamine (DA) D2-like receptors in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery are key modulators of metabolism. Moreover, disruption of D2-like receptor signaling is implicated in dysglycemia. Yet, the respective metabolic contributions of CNS versus peripheral D2-like receptors including D2 (D2R) and D3 (D3R) receptors remain poorly understood. To address this, we developed new pharmacological tools, D2-like receptor agonists with diminished and delayed blood-brain barrier capability, to selectively manipulate D2R/D3R signaling in the periphery. We designated bromocriptine methiodide (BrMeI), a quaternary methiodide analogue of D2R/D3R agonist and diabetes drug bromocriptine, as our lead compound based on preservation of D2R/D3R binding and functional efficacy. We then used BrMeI and unmodified bromocriptine to dissect relative contributions of CNS versus peripheral D2R/D3R signaling in treating dysglycemia. Systemic administration of bromocriptine, with unrestricted access to CNS and peripheral targets, significantly improved both insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in obese, dysglycemic mice in vivo. In contrast, metabolic improvements were attenuated when access to bromocriptine was restricted either to the CNS through intracerebroventricular administration or delayed access to the CNS via BrMeI. Our findings demonstrate that the coordinated actions of both CNS and peripheral D2-like receptors are required for correcting dysglycemia. Ultimately, the development of a first-generation of drugs designed to selectively target the periphery provides a blueprint for dissecting mechanisms of central versus peripheral DA signaling and paves the way for novel strategies to treat dysglycemia.

Highlights

· We developed new pharmacological tools with diminished blood-brain barrier capability to selectively manipulate peripheral dopamine D2-like receptor signaling.

· Our lead compound, bromocriptine methiodide (BrMeI), shows preserved dopamine D2-like receptor binding and functional efficacy.

· We used BrMeI and unmodified bromocriptine to dissect relative contributions of CNS versus peripheral dopamine signaling in treating dysglycemia.

· Systemic administration of dopaminergic agonist bromocriptine significantly improves dysglycemia while metabolic improvements are attenuated after restricting access to the brain or periphery via BrMeI.

· Tandem, coordinated actions of both brain and peripheral D2-like receptors are required for correcting dysglycemia.

Objective: To assess the clinical effects of incentive spirometry (IS) and diaphragmatic breathing (DB) in patients with post COVID-19 condition and diaphragmatic dysfunction as compared with the standard care alone. Methods: The present longitudinal randomized study included 60 patients with post COVID-19 condition and diaphragmatic dysfunction. Patients were equally randomized to receive standard care plus IS (G1), standard care plus DB (G2) or standard care alone (G3) for 8 weeks. The primary outcome is clinical improvement as evaluated by the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale. Results: Comparison between the studied groups revealed significant improvement in G1 and G2 in all parameters at the end of follow-up. However, no significant improvement was found in G3. At the end of follow-up, 15 patients (75.0%) in G1, 11 patients (55.0%) in G2, and 3 patients (15.0%) in G3 showed improvement on the mMRC dyspnoea scale. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified mild acute COVID-19 infection (p = 0.009), use of IS (p < 0.001), and use of DB (p = 0.023) as significant predictors of improvement on the mMRC dyspnoea scale. Conclusions: IS or DB training in addition to the standard care in post COVID-19 condition was associated with better clinical improvement as compared with the standard care alone.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to develop an instrument that measures students' attitudes toward physics ang to test its validity and reliability. This instrument was a result of a modification from the PAS Questionnaire, namely IMPAS. This research novelty is making a new instrument that solves the shortcomings in PAS Questionnaire. So, this instrument can be used by teachers and researcers in Indonesia. The target of this IMPAS Questionnaire will be high school students in Indonesia. Using the ADDIE research model, the IMPAS Questionnaire was successfully developed and tested on 156 high school students. The IMPAS Questionnaire consists of 24 positive, negative, neutral positive, and neutral negative statements. The results of the CVR analysis and the Rasch model provide an understanding that the IMPAS Questionnaire has good content and construct validity. So, the IMPAS Questionnaire can be stated to have the ability to measure students' attitudes toward physics accurately. In addition, the results of the Rasch model analysis provide an understanding that the IMPAS Questionnaire has a moderate person reliability, excellent item reliability, and good internal consistency. Therefore, the IMPAS Questionnaire can be stated to have sufficient consistency in measuring students' attitudes toward physics. Thus, the development of an instrument to measure students' attitudes toward physics has been done successfully. Hopefully, this research can contribute to Indonesian education, especially to physics teachers and physics education researchers.

Neste texto buscamos compreensões, em termos dos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem de Matemática, sobre as possíveis articulações entre a História da Matemática (HM) e a Modelagem Matemática (MM) reveladas nas pesquisas da área. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura, por meio da qual se buscou por pesquisas em bases de dados e eventos científicos nacionais que abordassem temáticas correlatas a esse objetivo, o que nos levou à identificação de oito trabalhos. Por meio dos procedimentos da Análise Textual Discursiva, inicialmente, fragmentamos e unitarizamos os dados e, posteriormente, os classificamos em categorias. Desse processo analítico, emergiram duas categorias: I –Articular HM e MM possibilita processos de ensino e de aprendizagem que geram compreensão dos tópicos matemáticos estudados e atitudes desejáveis para a formação do aluno; e II – Articular HM e MM possibilita evidenciar os aspectos humanos, sociais, científicos e culturais, atrelados ao desenvolvimento dos modelos matemáticos e as relações da Matemática com outras áreas de conhecimento. Com base nas categorias emergentes, evidenciou-se potencialidades advindas de articulações entre HM e MM para o processo de ensino e de aprendizagem de Matemática, que justificam os motivos pelos quais é relevante fazê-las.
Ensino de álgebra para deficientes visuais

Published: June 2024

Considerando-se a necessidade de aliar teoria e prática no planejamento de situações de ensino para estudantes deficientes visuais, esta pesquisa adotou os pressupostos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural e da Teoria da Atividade e fundamentou-se na Atividade Orientadora de Ensino. Foram elaboradas situações desencadeadoras de aprendizagem de conhecimentos algébricos e analisaram-se intervenções realizadas com um estudante de 7º e outro do 8º ano, ambos deficientes visuais e frequentando a sala de recursos multifuncionais de uma escola pública da rede estadual. O objetivo deste artigo é reconhecer a apropriação de conhecimentos algébricos por deficientes visuais a partir de situações desencadeadoras de aprendizagem. Para tal, organizaram-se os dados em dois isolados: manifestações dos nexos conceituais e manifestações do pensamento e da linguagem. Estes dois isolados permitem compreender o fenômeno “apropriação dos conhecimentos algébricos” a partir das situações apresentadas aos estudantes. Ao fim do estudo, destaca-se que as situações elaboradas permitiram mediação simbólica e instrumental, possibilitando a apropriação dos nexos conceituais da álgebra (variação, campo de variação e fluência) e de alguns conteúdos escolares selecionados (reconhecimento de incógnitas, dependência de variáveis e operações com monômios e polinômios). Cabe ressaltar que as situações desencadeadoras propostas alcançaram estes resultados a partir de um processo de organização do ensino que considerou as condições para a acessibilidade dos estudantes atendidos.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a natureza das estruturas globais de argumentação em um contexto de ensino baseado em argumentação coletiva durante uma investigação matemática. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de caso junto a alunos ingressantes em um curso de formação de professores em matemática de uma instituição federal de ensino. Os dados foram coletados por meio de registros escritos em torno da atividade realizada em grupo, bem como por meio de videogravação da argumentação coletiva. Com base no referencial teórico metodológico que tange o assunto, os dados foram analisados de modo a identificar a estrutura de argumentação gerada e o papel do professor no design desta. Como resultado, foram identificadas seis composições estruturais distintas, sendo a estrutura “fonte divergente” um contributo inédito à literatura de pesquisa. O estudo ainda revelou que o tipo de apoio fornecido pelo professor durante a argumentação coletiva interfere na anatomia/design destas estruturas.

Este estudo, de caráter bibliográfico, se caracteriza como revisão sistemática, cujo objetivo consistiu em um mapeamento do panorama de pesquisas acadêmicas brasileiras em Etnomatemática, no período de 2005 a 2023. A base de busca utilizada foi o catálogo de teses e dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). Foram encontrados 501 trabalhos, sendo 418 dissertações e 83 teses. A elaboração do estudo baseou-se em um guia formulado para revisões sistemáticas da área de Ensino e Educação Matemática, que é constituído, respectivamente, pelas cinto etapas: objetivo e pergunta; busca dos trabalhos; seleção dos estudos; análise das produções e apresentação da revisão sistemática. O estudo possui fundamentação teórica centrada em aportes teóricos do Programa Etnomatemática. De acordo com os dados coletados, as pesquisas mapeadas neste estudo estão voltadas para questões que envolvem o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, o currículo, os modelos direcionados para a Educação Matemática, assim como para descrever ou apresentar partes ou uma Etnomatemática. Os estudos abrangem uma diversidade de contextos culturais, no entanto, há uma centralização em investigações voltadas para a cultura camponesa e indígena.
Experiências de professores que ensinam matemática que levam ao desafio do paradigma do exercício

Published: June 2024

Este estudo busca compreender como professores que ensinam Matemática da Educação Básica relacionam suas experiências com suas aprendizagens orientadas a desafiar o paradigma do exercício. Para tanto, partimos de uma compreensão da aprendizagem do professor enquanto mudança na sua forma de participação na prática pedagógica escolar. Os dados do presente estudo qualitativo foram produzidos por meio da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis professores que ensinam Matemática da Educação Básica. A análise indica que esses docentes relacionam o modo pelo qual desafiam o paradigma do exercício no contexto escolar a um processo dinâmico de aprendizagem, em que estão envolvidas práticas variadas e compartilhadas. Assim, evidenciamos a relevância da articulação entre as experiências de vida dos docentes e os cursos e programas de formação inicial e continuada, de sorte que venham a ser-lhes oportunizados modos distintos de atuação profissional.
Integrando a educação financeira escolar no currículo do ensino fundamental
Authors: Santos Jonata Souza dos , Groenwald Claudia Lisete Oliveira
Published: June 2024

Este artigo destaca a relevância da Educação Financeira Escolar (EFE) como componente do currículo do Ensino Fundamental (EF), evidenciando sua importância para a formação de indivíduos competentes na gestão de seus recursos financeiros. Por meio da análise das políticas públicas atuais, em particular a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), o texto explora a integração dos conceitos de finanças pessoais no currículo escolar e discute estratégias pedagógicas para sua implementação. O artigo é de cunho qualitativo e ilustra a aplicabilidade da EFE na prática, descrevendo a elaboração e execução de atividades pedagógicas da EFE adaptadas aos alunos dos anos iniciais (4º e 5º anos) do Ensino Fundamental. Estas atividades evidenciam a possibilidade de introduzir a EFE de maneira eficaz e significativa desde os primeiros anos da escola. A partir das respostas obtidas, infere-se que os alunos ainda apresentam dificuldades em formular expressões numéricas e interpretar os problemas, indicando áreas que podem precisar de reforço ou de abordagens pedagógicas diferentes. Os resultados dessas atividades e suas contribuições para o entendimento dos estudantes sobre gestão financeira são também discutidos, destacando a eficácia da EFE como uma ferramenta de ensino
Resolução de problemas e o ensino de equações do 2º grau
Authors: Pereira Fernando Francisco , Proença Marcelo Carlos de
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo objetivou analisar propostas de ensino de Equações de 2º grau em pesquisas de pós-graduação com foco na resolução de problemas e na concepção de Álgebra. Desenvolvemos uma pesquisa bibliográfica em que obtivemos duas dissertações que passaram por uma metanálise. Os resultados mostram que ambas apresentam interesse por abordagens de ensino das Equações de 2º grau relacionadas à Resolução de Problemas. Entretanto, evidencia-se incompreensões entre a teoria e a prática frente as limitações e potencialidades de cada abordagem da Resolução de Problemas, além da recorrência a exercícios relacionados à sistematização de técnicas por meio da repetição, reforçando uma visão fundamentalista-analítica da Álgebra. Cabe considerar a relevância da ampliação de estudos que apresentem propostas sequenciais de ensino de Equações de 2º grau em meio à Resolução de Problemas, empregando com coerência as distintas abordagens (sobre, para e via), e às concepções da Álgebra que estão atreladas à esse ensino.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE A RACIONALIDADE INSTRUMENTAL NA GESTÃO DAS ORGANIZAÇÕES: O substrato do método cartesiano
Authors: Bazanini Roberto , Cortez Estela
Published: June 2024

O presente ensaio tem como objetivo refletir sobre a racionalidade instrumental, tendo como substrato as convergências e divergências entre a Filosofia Científica e a Filosofia Aplicada implícitas na gestão das organizações. Para tanto, foi necessário evidenciar nos Fatores presentes nos modelos Taylorista/Fordista e no Toyotismo a pertinência da Lógica da Análise e a Lógica da Persuasão como forma de consolidar e disseminar a ideologia gerencial. Além disso, destaca-se a importância do emprego da lógica indutivista para se compreender as experiências realizadas no chão de fábricas contempladas nos referidos modelos. A contribuição da pesquisa está em confrontar as implicações gerenciais presentes no início do século XIX e a realidade do século XXI em que cada vez mais a flexibilidade se torna imprescindível em uma sociedade cada vez mais complexa, incontrolável e imprevisível.
