Predictors of Human-Wildlife Fatalities: Insights from Botswana
Authors: Gaodirelwe Ikanyeng , Blackie Israel Rocky , Masole Charity
Published: February 2023

The paper investigates predictors of increased probability of Human
Wildlife Conflict (HWC) fatalities from attacks on humans. The study
uses data from 137 HWC victims in the six wildlife districts of
Botswana. A logistic regression model is used to assess demographic,
ecological/environmental and geographic predictors of increased
probability of fatality. Findings reveal that older victims, winter
season, Ngamiland Wildlife district, elephants and distant health
facilities present an increased probability of human fatality from
animal attacks. In conclusion, several predictors from different aspects
contribute to increased probability of fatality in the event of attacks.
Therefore, there is need for a holistic approach to reduce HWC
fatalities. We recommend that seasonality of HWC attacks on humans
should be considered when deploying resources to mitigate against.
Further, there is need for the formulation and development of the HWC
policy which will guide HWC related issues, holistically.

Published: February 2023

Background and Purpose: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause
of mortality globally due in part to the limited ability of
cardiomyocytes (CMs) to regenerate. Recently, we demonstrated that
overexpression of 4 cell cycle factors, CDK1, CDK4, cyclin B1, and
cyclin D1 (4F), induced cell division in ~20% of the
post-mitotic CMs overexpressed 4F. The current study aims to identify a
small molecule that augments 4F-induced CM cycle induction. Experimental
Approach, Key Results: Screening of small molecules with a potential to
augment 4F-induced cell-cycle induction in 60-day-old mature human
induced pluripotent cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs) revealed
N-(4,6-Dimethylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(pyridin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carbothioamide
(NDPPC), which activates cell cycle progression in 4F-transduced
hiPS-CMs. Autodock tool and Autodock vina computational methods showed
that NDPPC has a potential interaction with the binding site at the
human p38⍺ mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38⍺ MAP kinase), a
critical negative regulator of the mammalian cell cycle. A p38⍺ MAP
kinase activity assay showed that NDPPC inhibits its activity in a
dose-dependent manner. Overexpression of p38⍺ MAP kinase in CMs
inhibited 4F cell cycle induction, and treatment with NDPPC reversed the
cell cycle inhibitory effect. Conclusion and Implications: NDPPC is a
novel inhibitor for p38⍺ MAP kinase and is a promising drug to augment
CM cell cycle response to the 4F. NDPPC could become an adjunct
treatment with other cell cycle activators for heart failure treatment.

Published: February 2023

We produce projections of global mean sea-level rise to 2500 for low and
medium emissions scenarios (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP1-2.6 and
SSP2-4.5), based on extending and combining model ensemble data from
current literature. We find that emissions have a large effect on
sea-level rise on these long timescales, with a difference of 0.95 m at
2300 and 1.40 m at 2500 between the medians for the two scenarios. The
largest and most uncertain component is the Antarctic ice sheet,
projected to contribute median and 5-95% intervals of 0.86 [0.40,
1.57] m by 2500 under SSP1-2.6 and 1.44 [0.68, 2.71] m under
SSP2-4.5. We discuss how the simple statistical extensions used here
could be replaced with more physically-based methods for more robust
predictions. We show that, despite their uncertainties, current
multi-centennial projections combined into multi-study projections as
presented here can be used to avoid future ‘lock-ins’ in terms of risk
and adaptation needs to sea-level rise.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a promising technique to improve
the rapid detection and characterization of earthquakes. Due to some
instrumental limitations, current DAS studies primarily focus on the
phase information but less on the amplitude information. In this study,
we compile earthquake data from two DAS arrays in California, USA, and
one submarine array in Sanriku, Japan. We develop a data-driven method
to obtain the first scaling relation between DAS amplitude and
earthquake magnitude. Our results reveal that the DAS amplitude in
different regions follows a similar scaling relation. The scaling
relation can provide a rapid magnitude estimation and effectively avoid
uncertainties caused by the conversion to ground motions. We finally
show that the scaling relation is transferable from one to another new
region. The scaling relation highlights the great potential of DAS in
earthquake source characterization and early warning.
Frequent but Predictable Droughts in East Africa Driven by A Walker Circulation Intensification

Published: February 2023

The decline of the eastern East African (EA) March-April-May (MAM) rains
poses a life-threatening “enigma,” an enigma linked to sequential
droughts in the most food-insecure region of the world. The MAM 2022
drought was the driest on record, preceded by three poor rainy seasons,
and followed by widespread starvation. Connecting these droughts is an
interaction between La Niña and climate change, an interaction that
provides exciting opportunities for long-lead prediction and proactive
disaster risk management. Using observations, reanalyses, and climate
change simulations, we show here, for the first time, that post-1997 OND
La Niña events are robust precursors of: (1) strong MAM “Western V
Gradients” in the Pacific, which help produce (2) large increases in
moisture convergence and atmospheric heating near Indonesia, which
appear associated with (3) regional shifts in moisture transports and
vertical velocities, which (4) help explain more frequent dry EA rainy
seasons. Understanding this causal chain will help make long-lead
forecasts more actionable. Increased Warm Pool atmospheric heating and
moisture convergence sets the stage for dangerous sequential droughts in
EA. At 20-year time scales, we show that these Warm Pool heating
increases are attributable to observed Western V warming, which is, in
turn, largely attributable to climate change. As energy builds up in the
oceans and atmosphere, we see stronger convergence patterns, which offer
opportunities for prediction. Hence, linking EA drying to a stronger
Walker Circulation can help explain the “enigma” while underscoring
the predictable risks associated with recent La Niña events.
Mock-Walker Simulations: Mean Climates, Responses to Warming and Transition to Double-Cell Circulations
Authors: Lutsko Nicholas , Cronin Timothy Wallace
Published: February 2023

Improving understanding of the two-way interactions between clouds and
large-scale atmospheric circulations requires modeling set-ups that can
resolve cloud-scale processes, while also including representations of
the circulations themselves. In this study, we investigate the potential
for mock-Walker simulations to help untangle these interactions by
assessing their ability to reproduce the observed climate over the
equatorial Pacific. Mock-Walker simulations with realistic zonal
sea-surface temperature (SST) gradients show qualitative similarities
with reanalysis and satellite data, though notable differences include
(1) the presence of double-celled overturning circulations, (2) extreme
upper tropospheric dryness over the cold pools, and (3) substantially
weaker longwave cloud radiative effects. The double-cell circulations
are part of a transition from single to double cells as mean SST is
increased, with the transition occurring near present day temperatures.
The circulation changes dominate the response of mock-Walker simulations
to warming, though their effects are smaller for relatively weak zonal
SST gradients. Mock-Walker simulations also exhibit a wide range of
climate sensitivities, due to cloud feedbacks that are strongly negative
for larger SST gradients and strongly positive for weaker SST gradients.
Finally, we show that radiative-subsidence balance can be used to
explain the development of the double cells, but are unable to further
explain the dynamics of the transition given the complex vertical
profiles of stability and atmospheric radiative cooling in these
simulations. Since Earth’s present-day climate is close to our simulated
transition to a double-celled circulation, these dynamics merit further
investigation.
Detection of carbapenem-resistance and biofilm formation genes, and genetic relatedness of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates
Authors: Simonovic Marko , Lepsanovic Zorica , Rakonjac Bojan , Lazic Srdjan
Published: February 2023

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important nosocomial pathogen
worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the virulence potential and
genomic relatedness of A. baumannii strains isolated from patients
hospitalized in the Military Medical Academy (MMA) by detecting OXA-type
carbapenemases genes, biofilm-associated genes, and by RAPD analysis. PCR
was used to detect the blaoxa genes, ISAba-1 genetic element, and
biofilm-associated genes. The genomic relatedness was determined by RAPD
analysis using four different primers (AP2, DAF4. M13, and DECA).
blaoxa-51-like, blaoxa-23-like, blaoxa-24-like, and blaoxa-58-like were
present in 100%, 34.0%, 62.4%, and 3.1% of isolates, respectively. All
isolates had the ISAba1 sequence in their genome, in 35.1% of isolates it
was associated with the blaoxa-51-like, and in 97.0% with the blaoxa-23-like
gene. Biofilm-associated genes bap, ompA, epsA, csuA/BABCDE, and pgaABCD
were detected in 93.8%, 95.8%, 88.1%, 98.4%, and 98.9% isolates,
respectively. RAPD analysis showed a high degree of genome similarity and
clonal dispersion of the isolates. Detection of blaoxa genes, especially
biofilm-associated genes, in a high percentage of A. baumannii isolates
indicated their great pathogenic potential. RAPD analysis revealed a high
level of genomic similarity and clonal dispersion of the majority of
isolates through MMA. Further, a continuous introduction of individual
strains with different profiles contributes to the genetic diversity of A.
baumannii isolates. These results can be useful for further management and
tracking nosocomial outbreaks.

Published: February 2023

Trifolium repens L., commonly referred as white clover, is one of the
important stoloniferous perennial range legume growing in temperate regions.
The introduction of forage legumes in agro-ecosystem provides nitrogen
enrichment in soil and mobilizes other nutrients. Further, it has a
tremendous potential to help rehabilitate temperate grasslands and decrease
the severe fodder shortage in the Himalayan region. In recent decades,
collecting and exploration of forage species germplasm, including white
clover, have been in the focus of researchers. The collected material shall
act as a safe repository for different improvement programmes in future as
the germplasm has been stored in the Long Term Module of the National Gene
Bank. In this study, maximum entropy (MaxEnt) technique of niche modelling
was used to explore probable new areas for the collection of white clover
germplasm and identify favorable climate for characterization, cultivation,
evaluation and on-farm conservation in the Indian Himalayan region, which
comprises the of Jammu Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Significant variation was observed in plant height (15.5 to 37.6 cm), floret
number per flower head (9.24 to 52.4), 100 seed weight (0.038 to 0.077), dry
matter yield per plant (6.2 to 15.1 g), leaf length (15.6 to 48.4 mm), leaf
width (11.2 to 39.6 mm). Very highly significant variation was also observed
in ?V? marking. Dendrogram grouped the 22 accessions into two clusters based
on the average linking method. Cluster I consisted of five accessions
(IC-615818, IC- 615817,IC-622352, IC-615815, and IC-622362), cluster- II
could be grouped into sub-cluster-IIA and sub-cluster- IIB. Cluster IIA
consist of six accessions (IC- 622338, IC-622379, IC-622382, IC-622401,
IC-622343 and IC-62237), whereas cluster-IIB comprise of 11 accessions (IC-
615814 IC- 615811, IC-615819, IC-622376, IC-622383, IC-615812, IC-622385,
IC-615816, IC- 615817, IC-622415 and IC-622406). In this study, maximum
entropy (MaxEnt) technique of niche modelling was used to explore probable
new areas for the collection of white clover germplasm, identifying
favorable climate for characterization, cultivation & evaluation and on-farm
conservation in the Indian Himalayan region comprising the Union Territory
of Jammu Kashmir and the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

Published: February 2023

Normal pregnancy associated with complex changes of hemostasis, leading to
hypercoagulability states. The presence of acquired or genetic prothrombotic
risk factors might affect the proper maternal-fetal circulation and result
in pregnancy loss. Hence, the screening for the novel prothrombotic variants
associated with pregnancy loss would be beneficial. Our aim was to
investigate the potential association of recently reported c.*64_*66del
variant in prothrombin gene with the etiology of pregnancy loss. Study
included 105 women with pregnancy loss and 155 controls. Analyses in
patients? plasma samples, as well as in vitro analyses on transfected Cos-7
cell line were performed in order to investigate the mechanism by which this
variant could perturb the coagulation and lead to pregnancy loss. Analyses
in patients' DNA and plasma samples involved: DNA sequencing and PCR-RFLP
assay for detection of FII c.*64_*66del variant, routine thrombophilia
screening, thrombin generation assay and Western blot analysis of
prothrombin plasma level. In vitro analyses included transient transfections
of Cos-7 cell line with wild-type and c.*64_*66del mutated constructs of
pCIneo?SV40 expression vector. Real-Time PCR and Western blot analysis were
used to determine the effect of FII c.*64_*66del variant on mRNA and protein
level in constructs. Three women in patients group (2.9%) were detected as
heterozygous carriers of FII c.*64_*66del, while none was found among
controls. The carriers routine thrombophilia parameters were in reference
range and similar prothrombin plasma level in FII c.*64_*66del carriers and
non-carriers were detected. The endogenous thrombin potential was slightly
increased in FII c.*64_*66del carriers compared to control plasma, but this
difference was not statistically significant. Results of in vitro analyses
showed significantly decreased prothrombin mRNA and protein level for
c.*64_*66del variant compared to wild-type. Results of our pilot study have
shown a trend of higher prevalence of FII c.*64_*66del variant in women with
pregnancy loss. However, further studies are needed to completely elucidate
whether FII c.*64_*66del variant affects prothrombin expression during
pregnancy and to account its potential role in etiology of pregnancy loss.

Published: February 2023

The major objective in pepper breeding programs is to generate high yielding novel varieties resistant to pests and diseases, tolerant to abiotic stress conditions with improved fruit quality traits including capsaicin content. Germplasm collections are important sources of variability for breeding studies. Molecular markers are important tools to evaluate genetic relationships among germplasm collections. Moreover, markers are used to select the genotypes conferring the desired traits via marker-assisted selection (MAS) as a powerful approach accelerating breeding programs. In the current study, 56 pepper genotypes selected among 313 pepper genotypes collected from K?r?ehir province in the Central Anatolian region of Turkey according to their agronomic and morphological characteristics were used for molecular assays. Six SSR markers two of which were linked to fruit morphology were selected to characterize pepper genotypes according to their high polymorphism information content. Three SCAR markers associated with capsaicinoid synthesis and resistance to Phytophtora capsici (Phyto.5.2) in pepper were used to assess pungency and resistance among genotypes. According to the results obtained with SSR markers, the total number of alleles ranged from 1 to 8 among genotypes. The most polymorphic SSR markers were CaeMS015 and CAMS452 within the pepper population. The genetic distance among genotypes was determined ranging between 0.75-1.00. The segregation of the SCAR marker BF6-BF8 linked to pungency in pepper was determined relative to pungent and sweet reference cultivars. The OP004.717 SCAR marker linked to Phytophtora capsici was tested among genotypes relative to CM334 pepper variety, known as a source of resistance to Phytophtora.

The genus Consolida (DC.) Gray (Ranuculaceae) belongs to tribe Delphinieae.
It comprises approximately 52 species, including the members of the genus
Aconitella Spach. Iraq is one of the richest countries for the genus in
South-West Asia. The genetic diversity was assessed through Sequence-related
amplified polymorphism. To uncover genetic diversity and species
characteristics in Consolida species, were studied through a molecular data.
Seventy individuals related to five Consolida were collected in 5 provinces.
A total of 75 (Number of total loci) (NTL) DNA bands were produced through
polymerase chain reaction amplifications (PCR) amplification of five
Consolida species. These bands were produced with the combinations of 5
selective primers. Present results showed that sequence-related amplified
polymorphism have the potential to identify and decipher genetic affinity in
Consolida species. Current results have implications in biodiversity and
conservation programs. Besides this, present results could pave the way for
selecting suitable ecotypes for forage and pasture purposes in Iraq.
The genetic diversity of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes developed by hybridization using SSR markers
Authors: Culpan Emrullah , Arslan Burhan
Published: February 2023

Safflower is an annual oilseed crop which has healthy edible oil containing
high amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the world. In this study, we
investigated safflower registered cultivars of Turkey (4), genotypes
retrieved from USDA (10) and their hybrids (45) for genetic variation using
10 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci. Genetic diversity calculated
registered cultivars, genotypes and hybrids were as follows: mean number of
alleles (4.67), expected heterozygosity (0.680), average effective number of
alleles (3.172), and polymorphism information content (0.664). The
dendrogram analysis revealed at least four possible major clusters in the
parents and hybrids. High level of genetic diversity explained between the
populations and Fst calculate (0.593) suggested that the clusters were
differentiated to each other. Registered safflower cultivars of Turkey were
distributed across all four clusters and the accessions from USA were
defined in most of the clusters. The dendrogram based method analysis
revealed two major clusters which corresponded to spiny and spineless
safflower genotypes. It was suggested that the studied 6 SSR markers could
be utilized for safflower breeding studies based on molecular analysis.

The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity among Chrysoperla carnea samples collected from different locations of Iran (including, East-Azerbaijan, West-Azerbaijan, Isfahan, Kerman, Kermanshah, Lorestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, Hormozgan and Hamedan provinces) using the Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and mitochondrial (Cytochrome Oxidase I - COI) molecular markers in 2016-2018. The results showed that a total of 64 bands were produced by ten primers of ISSR markers which among them 43 bands were polymorphic. The highest and lowest polymorphic percentages belonged to primer UBC-809 (88.88%) and primer UBC-886 (33.33%), respectively. The results of cluster analysis based on ISSR marker data divided the samples into three separate clusters. This grouping was also confirmed by analysis of molecular variance. According to the results of the analysis of molecular variance diversity within and among groups was about 84% and 16%, respectively. In the present study five haplotypes were obtained. The first haplotype (H1) was common in all populations which can be considered as the ancestral haplotype, the other haplotypes have been evolved from it. The novelty of this study is that we report the first time genetic diversity analysis of family Chrysopidae using ISSR and CO1 markers covering more than ten provinces and thirty cities of Iran with a full picture of its genetic diversity. Genetic distance matrix based on Jaccard index indicated low genetic distance of populations. The results showed that ISSR and CO1 markers have high efficiency in study of genetic diversity in the family Chrysopidae.

Published: February 2023

The goal of this experiment was to examine a possible influence of reciprocal
crosses on grain yield and some morphological traits in maize. Field trials
were set up on three locations (Zemun Polje, Pancevo, Becej) during 2015 and
2017. Five elite inbred lines were selected in order to produce hybrid
combinations for the trial, two of them were of Lancaster origin and used as
tester lines (ZPT1, ZPT2), while remaining three had a Non Lancaster origin
(ZPL1, ZPL2 and ZPL3). By performing reciprocal crossings between Lancaster
and non Lancaster inbred lines, twelve single cross hybrids were produced
for the trial. Trials were set up on three locations during two years and
grain yield, grain moisture, plant height, ear height and mass of 1000
kernels were analyzed. Location, year and reciprocal crosses were
significant factors for all examined traits. Reciprocal crosses had
statistical significance on two hybrid combinations in terms of grain yield
and grain moisture. SNPs molecular markers were used to assess the genetic
diversity of the inbred lines involved in this experiment. When it comes to
plant height and mass of thousand kernels, a statistically significant
difference was observed in one hybrid combination. The largest reciprocal
differences between original and reciprocal hybrids were recorded in grain
yield, which were statistically significant for the crosses ZPH4/ZPH4R and
ZPH2/ZPH2R (20.03% and 19.49% respectively). The ZPH2/ZPH2R hybrid
combination is the combination with the statistically significant
differences between the original and reciprocal hybrid, for all evaluated
traits except for grain moisture. Reciprocal hybrids ZPH5/ZPH5R and
ZPH6/ZPH6R with ZPL3 as their maternal inbred line didn?t express a
statistically significant differences between both variants, e.g. their
reciprocal effect was low.

Published: February 2023

Human trafficking is persistent in many regions of Tanzania despite different efforts to reduce the practice by the Government and other stakeholders. Girls and young women are more affected by this practice in violation of their human rights than men and boys. This study explored the cultural factors attributing to the trafficking of girls and women in Northern Tanzania. The study involved 400 girls and young women for a quantitative and qualitative study on cultural determinants of human trafficking. The study found the following cultural practices pushed girls and women towards situations in which they could be trafficked: female genital mutilation (82%); son preference (78%); daughters not inheriting land and animals (77%); women not participating in decision making (70%); the workload for women and girls (88%); wife battering (87%); early marriage (82%); under estimating women and girls’ decision-making-making abilities (77%); and polygamy (76%).

As três gerações de livros didáticos de Sociologia no Brasil (1920-2016)
Authors: Polessa Maçaira Julia
Published: February 2023

O conceito de geração de Karl Mannheim fundamenta o argumento de que houve, no Brasil, três gerações de livros didáticos de Sociologia voltados para o ensino médio entre 1920 e 2016. Cada uma delas revela um grau de desenvolvimento dos campos de recontextualização oficial (CRO) e pedagógico (CRP), no sentido bernsteiniano, imbricados na conformação da Sociologia como uma disciplina escolar. Com base em fontes secundárias, especialmente pesquisas de mestrado, identificou-se a primeira geração de livros didáticos de Sociologia como um conjunto de manuais publicados entre 1920 e 1940 que contribuiu para o processo de rotinização das Ciências Sociais, quando o CRO ainda era incipiente e o CRP de Sociologia inexistia. A segunda geração compreende os livros publicados entre o início dos anos 1980 e meados dos anos 2000 e tem como marca a heterogeneidade curricular dos materiais, reflexo de uma recontextualização pedagógica em formação, embora o CRO já estivesse mais consolidado. A terceira geração está relacionada ao Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD), do Ministério da Educação (MEC), nos anos de 2010, momento em que o campo educacional já possuía uma estrutura de recontextualização oficial consolidada e o CRP das Ciências Sociais/ Sociologia já estava mais desenvolvido e apresentando capilaridade em múltiplas instâncias.

Educação e diferenças étnico-raciais na revista Em Aberto
Authors: Bonin Iara Tatiana , Ripoll Daniela
Published: February 2023

O campo teórico dos Estudos Culturais em Educação fundamenta os dois eixos de análise das diferenças étnico-raciais presentes no conjunto de artigos publicados na revista Em Aberto entre 1981 e 2021. Quanto às representações racializadas, observa-se a problematização de estereótipos que naturalizam a branquitude como representação da espécie humana, por exemplo, na literatura e nos livros didáticos. Entretanto, no início do século 21, surge uma literatura afro-brasileira que favorece a “educação para as relações étnico-raciais” na luta antirracista. Além disso, descrições etnográficas do contexto educativo e social de comunidades quilombolas focalizam a participação das crianças no cotidiano dessa sociedade, na qual também se gestam pertenças étnico-raciais. Quanto à situação dos povos indígenas, apesar de as reivindicações por oferta de educação escolar específica e com professores das próprias comunidades estarem inseridas no campo legislativo, persistem os desafios ligados à questão orçamentária e às ameaças aos direitos alcançados na Constituição Federal. Por isso, as discussões precisam prosseguir, incorporando movimentos e sujeitos indígenas.
Institucionalização dos censos educacionais a partir da cooperação interfederativa: contexto histórico
Authors: Moreno Sampaio Carlos Eduardo , Corrêa Mota Sandra
Published: February 2023

Nos anos de 1930, numa perspectiva de modernização e reformas, com a criação da Diretoria de Informações, Estatística e Divulgação, no âmbito do Ministério dos Negócios da Educação e Saúde Pública (MES), inicia-se o desenvolvimento dos censos educacionais que evoluem até a consolidação da pesquisa por aluno, a partir de 2007, no Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep). Os censos educacionais, por meio da cooperação interfederativa, institucionalizaram-se como pesquisa estatística, tornando-se indispensáveis para o diagnóstico do cenário da educação no Brasil, a exemplo da pesquisa Resposta educacional à pandemia de Covid-19, realizada em 2021, com o objetivo de identificar as ações adotadas pelas escolas para garantia do processo ensino-aprendizagem quando da suspensão das aulas presenciais. As estatísticas educacionais produzem diagnóstico e, sendo utilizadas por estudantes dos cursos na área de Educação e por gestores educacionais, podem resultar na sua apreensão como campo de estudo nessa área e fonte para formulação de políticas públicas.

Authors: Pedreira Ana Júlia , Gomes Rotta Jeane Cristina , Simões da Silva Delano Moody
Published: February 2023

Artigo de revisão sobre como as licenciaturas em Ciências Naturais ou da Natureza (LCN) concebem os espaços educacionais formativos em seus estágios supervisionados, além de verificar quais espaços formativos são previstos para a realização do Programa de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid) e do Programa de Residência Pedagógica (PRP), no âmbito desses cursos. Foram analisados os Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso (PPC) disponibilizados nos sítios de 13 cursos de LCN e todos os editais da Capes referentes ao Pibid e ao PRP. Os PPCs atendem à atual carga horária de estágio supervisionado e o concebem como um espaço no qual o futuro professor poderá conhecer e refletir sobre o seu ambiente de atuação profissional. Em cinco PPCs, a oferta de estágio pode acontecer em ambientes educacionais diferentes do espaço escolar. O Pibid e o PRP valorizam a escola como local de formação, mas em ambos há indicação de objetivos que possibilitam buscar espaços alternativos para complementar as vivências na educação básica. Diante disso, é necessário construir uma discussão acadêmica sobre o papel desses espaços na formação dos futuros professores.
Expanding institutionalized learning spaces in/for science teacher education: the case of a community garden in Ottawa
Authors: Reis Giuliano , Sandhu Harveen
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this experience report is to share and reflect on the authors’ views and experiences of adopting a place-based pedagogy in a community garden to create a science learning space within an institutionalized teacher education program in Ottawa, Canada. The situations described here are based on loose (autobiographical) recollections of events that occurred over the last five years in science methods courses taught by the first author while taking student teachers on a field trip to a local urban community garden. In addition, we present a sample of selected informal feedback collected from participants in support of our argument that noninstitutionalized outdoor urban spaces can provide valuable opportunities to enrich science student teachers’ experience in teacher education programs.
Potencialidades do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência e seu impacto na formação docente
Authors: Dos Santos Mariana , De Freitas Denise
Published: February 2023

Este estudo tem como fonte de informações os editais do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid), desde a sua criação, e documentos relativos a outros programas, políticas e diretrizes relacionados com a formação de professores ao longo dos últimos anos, analisados sob pressupostos teóricos advindos de referenciais do campo da educação. O objetivo foi analisar as orientações que deramorigem ao Pibid e seus avanços e/ou retrocessos, buscando referências analíticas nos contextos das políticas e dos conhecimentos acadêmicos sobre formação de professores. A análise trouxe à tona as dimensões do impacto do Pibid na formação docente e nos conhecimentos sobre a docência e aponta para as tensões, os avanços, os recuos e as potencialidades do Programa nesse período de sua implantação, em que se observam as marcas políticas e ideológicas que ele incorpora e que majoritariamente configuram retrocessos que ameaçam sua permanência. Por isso, defende-se a ideia de que o Pibid seja consolidado como política de Estado.
Filosofia, educação inclusiva e intervenção artística: contribuições de Henri Bergson para uma ontologia da infância
Authors: Sussel Mariano Carmem Lúcia , Dantas Trevisan Marlon
Published: February 2023

A filosofia de Henri Bergson – com destaque aos conceitos de duração, intuição, relações entre matéria e memória, crítica ao intelectualismo – é apresentada como inspiração para se pensar uma ontologia da infância, a fim de orientar propostas educativas verdadeiramente inclusivas em contraposição a uma visão normativa e desenvolvimentista da infância. Tal temática enuncia como objetivos: analisar as representações ocidentais de infância; enumerar as linhas gerais do pensamento bergsoniano e estabelecer nexos com a educação inclusiva; apresentar, como exercício pedagógico e empírico, uma instalação artística denominada Poliedros mágicos, que circula em instituições de educação infantil. O caminho trilhado revela a infância como experiência de duração que perpassa o humano – criação e expansão de novos campos de consciência outrora colonizados pela razão utilitária e cientificista; esta que, ao classificar, numerar, espacializar, despreza a diferença, em nome da homogeneização. Propõe-se pensar uma outra representação, não mais como percurso até a racionalidade adulta, como quer a psicologia do desenvolvimento, mas como algo que está em nós, proporcionando-nos contatos íntimos com as coisas.

Pelatihan Modal Psikologis untuk Meningkatkan Keterikatan Kerja pada Superintendent & Team Leader PT. XXX
Authors: Margareth Christy
Published: February 2023

Keberhasilan proses produksi akan ditentukan oleh kemampuan seorang pemimpin seksi/regu dalam menjalankan tugasnya. Salah satu aspek yang dapat mempengaruhi keterikatan kerja dari pemimpin adalah Sumberdaya pribadi (personal resources) yang merupakan bentuk evaluasi diri positif yang dihubungkan dengan resiliensi dan merujuk kepada perasaan individu terhadap kemampuannya untuk mengontrol dan memberikan dampak terhadap situasi disekitarnya. Salah satu konsep yang dapat digunakan untuk menggambarkan aspek sumberdaya pribadi adalah modal psikologis (Psychological Capital/ PsyCap). Hasil observasi dan wawancara di PT. XXX menunjukkan bahwa peneliti mengindikasikan bahwa para pemimpin seksi/ regu cenderung kurang memiliki modal psikologis dalam melaksanakan perannya sebagai pemimpin. Berdasarkan hasil analisa kebutuhan yang telah dilakukan, maka peneliti akan mengadakan pelatihan tentang modal psikologis untuk meningkatkan keterikatan kerja pada pemimpin seksi/regu, dengan mengacu kepada 4 aspek/dimensi modal psikologis menurut Luthan, Youssef-Morgan, dan Avolio (2014). Berdasarkan hasil pelatitan didapatkan hasil bahwa skor pengetahuan karyawan meningkat namun kemampuan penerapan dan sikap belum mencerminkan aspek modal psikologi yang dilatihkan. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan yang diberikan kepada peserta belum efektif untuk meningkatkan keterikatan kerja melalui modal psikologis.
