Pre-common-envelope Mass Loss from Coalescing Binary Systems
Authors: MacLeod Morgan , Loeb Abraham
Published: May 2020

Binary systems undergoing unstable Roche Lobe overflow spill gas into their circumbinary environment as their orbits decay toward coalescence. In this paper, we use a suite of hydrodynamic models of coalescing binaries involving an extended donor and a more compact accretor. We focus on the period of unstable Roche Lobe overflow that ends as the accretor plunges within the envelope of the donor at the onset of a common envelope phase. During this stage, mass is removed from the donor and flung into the circumbinary environment. Across a wide range of binary mass ratios, we find that the mass expelled as the separation decreases from the Roche limit to the donor’s original radius is of the order of 25% of the accretor’s mass. We study the kinematics of this ejecta and its dependencies on binary properties and find that it assembles into a toroidal circumbinary distribution. These circumbinary tori have approximately constant specific angular momenta due to momentum transport by spiral shocks launched from the orbiting binary. We show that an analytic model with these torus properties captures many of the main features of the azimuthally averaged profiles of our hydrodynamic simulations. Our results, in particular the simple relationship between accretor mass and expelled mass and its spatial distribution, may be useful for interpreting stellar coalescence transients like luminous red novae and initializing hydrodynamic simulations of the subsequent common envelope phase.

In the episodic accretion scenario, a large fraction of the protostellar mass accretes during repeated and large bursts of accretion. Since outbursts on protostars are typically identified at specific wavelengths, interpreting these outbursts requires converting this change in flux to a change in total luminosity. The Class I young stellar object EC 53 in the Serpens Main cloud has undergone repeated increases in brightness at 850 μm that are likely caused by bursts of accretion. In this study, we perform two- and three-dimensional continuum radiative transfer modeling to quantify the internal luminosity rise in EC 53 that corresponds to the factor of ∼1.5 enhancement in flux at 850 μm. We model the spectral energy distribution and radial intensity profile in both the quiescent and outburst phases. The internal luminosity in the outburst phase is ∼3.3 times brighter than the luminosity in the quiescent phase. The radial intensity profile analysis demonstrates that the detected submillimeter flux variation of EC 53 comes from the heated envelope by the accretion burst. We also find that the role of external heating of the EC 53 envelope by the interstellar radiation field is insignificant.
Generation of High-resolution Solar Pseudo-magnetograms from Ca ii K Images by Deep Learning
Authors: Shin Gyungin , Moon Yong-Jae , Park Eunsu , Jeong Hyun-Jin , Lee Harim , Bae Sung-Ho
Published: May 2020

In this Letter, we generate realistic high-resolution (1024 × 1024 pixels) pseudo-magnetograms from Ca ii K images using a deep learning model based on conditional generative adversarial networks. For this, we consider a model “pix2pixHD” that is specifically devised for high-resolution image translation tasks. We use Ca ii K 393.3 nm images from the Precision Solar Photometric Telescope at the Rome Observatory and line-of-sight magnetograms from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) at the Solar Dynamics Observatory from 2011 January to 2015 June. 2465 pairs of Ca ii K and HMI are used for training except for January and July data. The remaining 436 pairs are used for an evaluation of the model. Our model shows that the mean correlation coefficient (CC) of total unsigned magnetic flux between AI-generated and real ones is 0.99 and the mean pixel-to-pixel CC after 8 × 8 binning over the full disk is 0.74. We find that the AI-generated absolute magnetic flux densities are highly consistent with real ones, even to the fine scale structures of quiet regions. On the other hand, the mean pixel-to-pixel correlations of magnetic flux densities strongly depend on a region of interest: 0.81 for active regions and 0.24 for quiet regions. Our results suggest a sufficient possibility that we can produce high-resolution solar magnetograms from historical Ca ii data.
La Plage urbaine spontanée, une nouvelle forme d’appropriation oisive de l’espace public
Authors: En-nejjari Maroua , Requena Ignacio , Siret Daniel
Published: May 2020

Nous appelons plages urbaines spontanées les espaces publics contemporains où les citadins adoptent des comportements habituellement réservés à la plage, dans des lieux a priori non aménagés à cette fin. Ces lieux publics urbains, souvent au bord de l’eau, font émerger un nouveau rapport au corps et à l’oisiveté dans l’espace public et témoignent d’une tendance au détournement et à l’appropriation spontanée de la ville par les citadins. Nous nous intéressons ici à l’identification des conditions spatiotemporelles, socioculturelles et politiques de l’émergence d’une situation de plage spontanée dans l’environnement urbain. Cet article rend compte de l’état d’avancement de l’étude du phénomène de plage urbaine spontanée, à travers un travail d’enquête in situ mené à Nantes en 2018, puis un travail d’enquête hors situation, mené auprès des « plageurs » et de responsables de la ville en 2019.

Authors: Ogundimu Adesola Olulayo
Published: May 2020

Through digital technologies, learning has become more flexible in terms of location and mode of delivery, as well as open opportunities for inquiry, discourse, extension, and application towards the creation of new knowledge. A tendency towards a lack of uniformity in the quality of knowledge produced as well as deviation from the norms that guide content creation and sharing have been envisioned with new modes of knowledge creation and sharing in general. This chapter will synthesize research and strategies on designing high value, engaging online video content, with the aim of equipping creators within participatory, informal learning contexts with approaches for becoming more responsible and effective contributors to the digital ecosystem.
A Composite Risk Model for Optimizing Information System Security
Authors: Giat Yahel , Dreyfuss Michael
Published: May 2020

This chapter describes a two-step decision-support risk model that focuses on investment in information technology security. In the first step, the risk level of each of the system's components is mapped with the goal of identifying the subsystems that pose the highest risk. In the second step, the model determines how much to invest in various technological tools and workplace culture programs to enhance information security. The mode is applied to an information system in an academic institution in Israel. This system comprises 10 subsystems and the three that are responsible to most of the risk are identified. These findings are then used to determine the parameters of the investment allocation problem and find the optimal investment plan. The results of the model's application indicate that monetary incentives and grade cheating are the greatest threats to the system's security. In addition, the results provide support to the claim that information security officials tend to overinvest in security technological tools and underinvest in improving security workplace culture.
Using Big Data to Understand Chinese Users' Intentions to Tap Through Mobile Advertisements
Authors: Quan Jing ("Jim")
Published: May 2020

This study examines influencing factors for users' intentions to tap through mobile advertisements. This chapter uses a data set with 115,899 records of ad tap-through from a mobile advertising company in China to fit a logit model to examine how the probability of advertisement tap-through is related to the identified factors. The results show that the influencing variables are application type, mobile operators, scrolling frequency, and the regional income level as they are positively correlated with the likelihood whether users would tap on certain types of advertising. Moreover, a Bayesian network model is used to estimate the conditional probability for a user to tap on an advertisement in an application after the user already taps on another advertisement in the same application. Based on the findings, strategies for mobile advertisers to engage in effective and targeted mobile advertising are proposed.
Towards Intercultural Literacy of Language Teacher Education in the 21st Century
Authors: Yang Ping
Published: May 2020

In the 21st century, language teacher education faces new challenges to cultivate multiliteracy in culturally diverse classrooms. This chapter focuses on the intercultural literacy language teachers need to develop as part of their teacher education and proposes a new model of intercultural literacy which includes intercultural verbal communication competence, intercultural attitudes, intercultural nonverbal communication competence, and intercultural awareness. These skills will contribute to language teacher education of the 21st century and the teachers' newfound intercultural literacy will help them meet the intercultural challenges and learning needs of culturally diverse students. This raises the question of why language teachers may need intercultural literacy. The four components of the model are described in detail, supported with current research, and illustrated with examples of literacy practices that can be implemented in the classroom.
Assessment of EAP Literacies in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms
Authors: Anand Poonam
Published: May 2020

Older views of the English for Academic Purposes Literacies (EAPL) assessment have been in line with the assessment of the four-skills second language (L2) competencies. However, the new understanding is that literacy is not just a cognitive competence of reading and writing but also a set of other purposeful social processes. This understanding makes EAPL assessment multifaceted by calling upon a set of supra-linguistic behaviors, i.e., cognitive and social skills in addition to L2 competencies. This chapter starts with a brief history and the current state of theoretical constructs (of what is actually assessed) of EAPL assessment. It then centers its discussion on different academic literacies models, and the critical issues in measuring EAPL. The author highlights different strategies for planning assessment in the practical applications of academic literacies constructs. The chapter ends with the presentation of useful steps in creating EAPL assessments.
Stories Make Readers
Authors: Aerila Juli-Anna , Kauppinen Merja
Published: May 2020

Using literature in multilingual and second language classes promotes literacy skills and helps children to adapt to second language instruction. This chapter presents the theoretical framework and practical implementations for enhancing the use of literature in multilingual environments employing Stories Make Readers (StoRe)–project as an example. StoRe concept helps to promote the use of fictional literature and to increase the reading materials and reading time at school and at home. An important aim is to offer, in multilingual groups, reading materials that correspond to the reading abilities and interest of the readers, and to connect different collaborative, child-centered, and multidisciplinary activities in reading. The multilingual line of the StoRe project, called Creating Innovative Approaches to Language Education (IKI), identifies and promotes innovative models for the use and development of language in education and creates research-based, pedagogical maps that help teachers develop and improve their pedagogical practices.
Chinese Students' Learning Strategies in Learning Spanish as a Second Language
Authors: Azpiroz María del Carmen
Published: May 2020

Since the beginning of the 21st century, international education has grown at an extraordinary rate, and even countries like Uruguay, which has not been a recipient country of a significant flow of international students, has experienced an important increase of students from other countries and cultures. L2 Spanish learners from several Chinese universities travel to a Spanish-speaking country in the third year of their major to attend Spanish and culture lessons during two academic semesters. The aim of increasing the knowledge of Chinese approaches to learning is part of the interest of researchers and teachers in expanding their understanding of individual differences in learning. This chapter summarizes the research carried out at Universidad ORT Uruguay that focuses on identifying and understanding L2 (Spanish) strategies to learning.
Cross-Culture Online Knowledge Validation and the Exclusive Practice of Stem Cell Therapy
Authors: Al-Hasan Abrar , Khuntia Jiban , Yim Dobin
Published: May 2020

Increasingly, people are turning to the internet to access health information despite reports that sites vary in terms of their quality, especially when the health practice is emerging or exclusive, such as stem cell and umbilical cord blood therapy. Given the controversy, patients have to depend on available sources to validate their knowledge prior to going for these practices as treatments. This study explores how the internet supports the spread of stem cell therapy practices, viewing it from a knowledge validation theoretical perspective. The study posits hypotheses differentiating digital and human sources, trust in the media source, and exploratory and verification sources on knowledge validation for exclusive practices. Primary survey data was collected from the US and Kuwait. Key findings suggest that knowledge verification and trust in the internet influences knowledge conversion and the practice decision of patients for less practice-oriented knowledge, and this effect is higher for Kuwait than USA, and more so for stem cell than umbilical cord blood practice.
A Rule-Based Quality Analytics System for the Global Wine Industry
Authors: Lee Carmen K. H. , Law Kris M. Y. , Ip Andrew W. H.
Published: May 2020

The global wine-making industry has faced challenges due to the increasing demands of consumers, particularly in emerging markets such as China, Brazil, India, and Russia. Controlling the quality during wine production is one of the key challenges faced by global winemakers to produce wine with appropriate sensorial properties tailored to specific markets. The wine production quality is constituted from a number of environmental factors such as climate, soil, and temperature, which affect the sensorial properties and the overall quality. This paper proposed a rule-based quality analytics system (RBQAS) to capture physicochemical data during wine production and to investigate the hidden patterns from the data for quality prediction. It consists of IoT for data capture on a real-time basis, followed by association rule mining to identify relationships between sensorial and physicochemical properties of wine.

Authors: Etzler Erik A. , Brown William D. , Bussière Luc F. , Gwynne Darryl T.
Published: May 2020

The conopid flyStylogaster neglectaWilliston (Diptera: Conopidae) is a parasitoid with no known host. We report this species as the first recorded dipteran parasitoid ofOecanthus nigricornisWalker (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) (black-horned tree crickets). We reared field-collectedO. nigricornisjuveniles over several months in 2017 and found that larvalS. neglectaemerged from them during late July into August. We estimated the incubation period forS. neglectalarvae to be around 30 days based on the length of time it took for them to emerge from the host and pupate (subsequently all hosts died). We documented several cases of multiple parasitism. In 2018, we dissectedO. nigricornissampled from four sites across southern Ontario, Canada and upstate New York, United States of America and found that the percentage of juvenileO. nigricornisparasitised ranged 2–39%. Further sampling will be necessary to determine whether this variation represents consistent population differences or between-year variation in parasitism.
Panic disorder: attack of fear or acute attack of solitude? Convergences between affective neuroscience and phenomenological-Gestalt perspective
Authors: Francesetti Gianni , Alcaro Antonio , Settanni Michele
Published: May 2020

There is consensus among scientists in considering Panic Attack (PA) as an exaggerated fear response triggered by intense activation of the amygdala and related Fear brain network. Current guidelines for treatment (e.g. National Institute for Clinical Excellence, NICE, 2011), that are based on this view, do not achieve satisfactory results: one-third of all treated patients report persistent PAs and other Panic Disorder (PD) symptoms, and several meta-analyses report the high likelihood of relapse. Here we review findings from Affective Neuroscience and clinical insights from a phenomenological-Gestalt perspective, putting into question the link between PD and activation of the Fear brain network. We propose an alternative hypothesis about PD etiology: PD is mainly connected to the Panic system, that is activated in situations of separation from affective support and overexposure to the environment. In our view, PA can be understood as an acute attack of solitude which is not adequately recognized by the patient due to the intervention of a dissociative component that makes it impossible to integrate all neuro-physiological responses activated by the Panic/Separation brain system within a coherent emotional feeling. This perspective can explain many evidences that otherwise remain isolated elements without a comprehensive frame: i.e., the association with agoraphobia, the onset of PD during adolescence and young adult life, the need to be accompanied, the connection with air hunger and other respiratory anomalies, the efficacy of antidepressants and the lack of activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axe. We discuss future steps to test this hypothesis and the consequences for psychotherapeutic treatment.
Episodes of meeting in psychotherapy: An empirical exploration of patients’ experiences of subjective change during their psychotherapy process
Authors: Duarte Javiera , Martinez Claudio , Tomicic Alemka
Published: May 2020

This study aims to assess moments of meeting in psychotherapy -understood as moments of intense connectedness and intimacy, shared between patient and therapist during any therapeutic encounter that enable a spin in the therapy process- using a qualitative interview with patients who were undergoing or had finished psychological treatment. Micro-pehenomenological interviews were conducted with nine patients who were undergoing or had finished psychological treatment. Transcriptions of the interviews were subject to micro-phenomenological analysis. A general structure of episodes of meeting showing their temporal evolution was identified and divided into six consecutive phases. These findings suggest that episodes of meeting in psychotherapy are lived and remembered by patients in a significant way; they are emotionally charged and have a meaning for each participant. Also, emotional and nonverbal cues seem to be highly relevant features. Moments of meeting could be understood as implicit mechanisms that allow changes in the implicit relational domain.

Do the Conventions on the Law of the Sea and Biological Diversity adequately protect marine biota from anthropogenic underwater noise pollution?
Authors: Dwyer Guy , Orgill Tristan
Published: May 2020

Anthropogenic underwater noise pollution (AUNP) generated by, inter alia, commercial shipping, military exercises, the use of sonar and seismic surveys has increased dramatically since the early 1950s. This has caused or contributed to the death and suffering of marine biota.

International and domestic law must adequately regulate AUNP in order for this transboundary and transjurisdictional form of pollution to be addressed. This article examines the two most comprehensive multilateral international conventions regulating the world's oceans and biodiversity – the Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Convention on Biological Diversity – to address the question of whether these two conventions adequately protect marine biota from AUNP. It is argued that the existing regimes established under these conventions are inadequate because they do not: sufficiently recognise AUNP as a form of pollution; provide comprehensive and binding direction as to practical measures to prevent, mitigate or eliminate AUNP; or provide adequate enforcement regimes. To remedy these inadequacies, this article concludes by outlining a number of non-exhaustive law reform recommendations.
Tackling biopiracy in Southeast Asia: the need for a legally binding regional instrument
Authors: Kim Jinyup
Published: May 2020

Biopiracy, largely defined as misappropriation of biological resources and associated traditional knowledge, has occurred all around the world. Southeast Asia, one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, has been a victim of biopiracy in a number of cases across the region. Despite the high occurrence of the exploitation of resources, the region has not responded to the problem of biopiracy adequately. One of the most important reasons for this lack of response to biopiracy is the absence of a legally binding regional instrument(s). However, considering that (i) biopiracy does not respect national borders, (ii) most of the Southeast Asian states have ratified the Nagoya Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and (iii) soft law instruments adopted so far have failed to tackle biopiracy, this article argues that a legally binding regional regime should be established to tackle biopiracy in a consistent manner. Following an analysis of a number of biopiracy cases in the region, this article discusses why a legally binding instrument(s) is necessary. It suggests how to improve the current regional instruments pertaining to access and benefit sharing in relation to biological resources and associated traditional knowledge, based on the analysis of instruments adopted to tackle biopiracy in other regions.

Don’t Shut Up: Why Teachers Must Defend the First Amendment in Secondary Schools

Abstract

Several recent judicial decisions and numerous reports from scholars, educators, legal experts, journalists, and advocacy groups suggest that the First Amendment protection of freedom of expression is being unconstitutionally abridged in American universities and secondary schools. Freedom of expression for university and secondary school students is essential to securing individual rights, protecting liberty, enhancing civic participation, and is a safeguard against government infringement on freedom of thought and expression. The First Amendment, along with other rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights, is the crucial underpinning of a pluralistic democracy. However, many universities and secondary schools have sought to restrict freedom of expression by establishing speech codes, safe zones, and institutional policies that prohibit and punish speech that is deemed controversial, hateful, radical, or offensive. These speech codes are designed to foster tolerance, respect, and sensitivity for individuals and groups; while this is a worthy goal, it must be achieved without violating the First Amendment. Teachers must resist unconstitutional attempts at censorship and instruct their students that the primary purpose of the First Amendment is to protect controversial, offensive, and radical speech. This article will examine the attacks on free speech and discuss how teachers can defend the First Amendment.
A culture of equality?
Authors: Carothers Douglas E
Published: May 2020

Race-based educational segregation has a long history in the United States and continues to exist even though prohibited by law. Recent manifestations of race-based educational discrimination are found in the overrepresentation of black students in special education programs, their subjugation to high rates of exclusionary discipline, and their underrepresentation in gifted programs. This study used the ProQuest Education database and selected search terms to retrieve records of publications and examine trends in professional literature during four decades. Patterns were found in scholarship related to disproportionate representation of black students in special education programs and the use of exclusionary suspension and expulsion with black students as well as the underrepresentation of black students in gifted programs. The most scholarship was found related to gifted programs, in which blacks were underrepresented, and the amount of scholarship progressively decreased as the level of segregation of black students increased from special education placement to suspension and expulsion. Further, the absolute amount of scholarship and the percentage of works published in scholarly journals were inversely related to the number of search terms with negative connotations used, including special education, minority, and poverty. Use of search terms with negative connotations was positively associated with the percentage of scholarship done by students in the form of dissertations and theses. Conclusions note scholarly findings of reduced adult outcomes caused by inequitable access to educational opportunities and encourage additional research into effective provision of culturally responsive teacher preparation and continuing education as alternatives to reliance on zero-tolerance and other policies that increase educational segregation of black students.

Published: May 2020

Technology integration in education is one of the most popular topics in the last decades. Many countries have invested millions of dollars to equip classrooms with technological devices. As well as developed countries, Turkey has conducted several projects to provide technological devices and educational materials to classrooms. Technology has the potential to increase the quality of learning and teaching process. However, having technological devices in classroom alone will not cause the increase of the quality of education. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine teachers' attitudes toward the use of technology in social studies teaching. Understanding social studies teachers' attitudes is essential because it is a way to figure out how they integrate technology and define barriers. The authors applied quantitative survey method and used cluster sampling to choose participants. The sample of the study consisted of 155 social studies teachers who are currently teaching at middle schools. The use of technology in social studies teaching attitude scale was used to collect data. The findings revealed that teachers have positive beliefs and attitudes toward the use of technology. Also, the findings showed that teachers who are working at private schools have significantly high attitudes than others who are teaching at public schools. Moreover, teachers who took educational technology and teaching material course and attended in-service training have more positive attitudes than others.

We have been facing with several challenges in all over the World. Global and local economies are facing threats as well as the increasing numbers of migrants that have not been seen for several decades. Resources are becoming scarcer and more expensive as we consume more. Technology and especially the internet and social networking are changing the way we work, interact and communicate.

The question of "Why is the study of social sciences so critical to our future?" has been asked number of times in the past! To speak of the future of the social sciences is not an easy task especially nowadays where the dynamics of the World has been dramatically changing which brings lots of crisis with pain at every level from local to global.Â  The name of this change has been called as the "New Order of the World" as some of the players lose their power and importance while new players comes in to show themselves and claim that they are also important and cannot be ignored!

Authors: Gutorova Alla N. , Andreev Sergey D. , Arutyunyan Tatyana I. , Korovin Vladimir V. , Troyan Vlalimir A.
Published: May 2020

The processes of development of government institutions in the Russian Federation have required the introduction of new mechanisms of legal responsibility of subjects of power relations in legislation. In recent times, the most significant practical interest is the problem of the early termination of the exercise of power of elected officials in legislative positions. The objective of the article is therefore to analyze the legal and political responsibility of the officials of the democratically elected state before their voters. In the process on the subject of the study, the formal-legal and comparative-legal methods were used, which allowed to formulate the following conclusions. The subjects of the above responsibility may be elected officials of the legislative (representative) bodies of state power. The constitutional status of elected persons exercising public authority on behalf of individuals suggests the possibility of terminating their powers as sanctions only on the basis of the rules of law enshrined in the relevant acts and establishing clear reasons and procedures for liability. The current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for various types of constitutional and legal sanctions. They consist of depriving elected officials of their powers.

Legal Impact Theory in the Context of an Integrative Approach to Understanding Law
Authors: Palekha Roman R. , Belyaev Valery P. , Kanishchev Valery P. , Solovyova Larisa L. , Turanina Neonila A.
Published: May 2020

The theory of legal impact from the perspective of an integrative approach to understanding law, is a progressive theoretical and methodological toolkit with a high potential of heuristically mastering of various legal phenomena. This theory understood within the framework of an integrative approach, allows us to consider its legal nature, content and essence as fully and thoroughly as possible, which creates favorable conditions for achieving the criteria of scientific research, such as: comprehensiveness, objectivity, and historicism. It is the integrative approach that makes it possible to fully realize such a fundamental principle of scientific research as unity in diversity, to study the nature of the legal impact comprehensively and deeply, as a complex socio-legal phenomenon, determined by various factors of public life. The methodological ground of the examination depends on the utilization of different general logical procedures and techniques for logical information, just as specific logical strategies – recorded legitimate, formal-lawful, relative lawful and interpretative. Results showed that law isn't reducible to the arrangement of lawful standards, it is a lot more extensive and progressively various, which is related with its source, bearer and vehicle - a man, with his intentionally solid willed nature and passionate mental motivations.
Legitimidad política y voluntarismo: dos argumentos en favor del consentimiento tácito y la democracia
Authors: Vercellone Adriana L.
Published: May 2020

Este artículo revisa la teoría “voluntarista” y su respuesta al problema de la legitimidad política. Se centra en dos versiones del voluntarismo tácito que se entienden superadores del clásico contractualismo liberal: la teoría de Simmons sobre las abstenciones y las omisiones, y el modelo de asociación voluntaria de J. Tussman. El objetivo es evaluar la plausibilidad de ambos argumentos teóricos, a la luz de las críticas contemporáneas más salientes que ha recibido el voluntarismo clásico. En cuanto a lo metodológico, el trabajo tiene dos partes bien delimitadas. La primera, reconstruye y revisa la consistencia de los argumentos defendidos por las teorías voluntaristas mencionadas, a partir de herramientas interpretativas concretas, como el análisis lógico o la reconstrucción racional. La segunda parte, contrasta dichos argumentos con la práctica política democrática, para evaluar la necesidad de precondiciones y libertades que garanticen un contexto de decisión apto para las manifestaciones de voluntad. Las conclusiones del trabajo sugieren que tanto la propuesta de Simmons como la de Tussman ofrecen una respuesta plausible al problema de la legitimidad política en la medida que sean evaluadas en esquemas de instituciones democráticas que garanticen mecanismos de deliberación y participación.

El presente artículo es resultado de una investigación documental enmarcada en el paradigma cualitativo donde pretendemos plantear algunas reflexiones sobre la ética compleja de Morín en el contexto educativo. Utilizamos la metodología hermenéutica. Analizamos e interpretamos bajo nuestra perspectiva subjetiva los diferentes elementos de la ética compleja en el contexto educativo.  Finalmente, concluimos que la ética compleja también llamada de resistencia y de religación; es indispensable en la educación porque permite al hombre alejarse de la noción del mal elevando su dimensión altruista. Esta última, necesaria durante la formación educativa de todo ser humano, debido al acompañamiento que recibe de otros seres semejantes a él con los que debe compartir sus conocimientos, habilidades y valores como parte del orden social y planetario.
2. Efectos del realce textual y la forma gramatical sobre la comprensión y el procesamiento
Authors: Franco (ULA) José , Abreu (ULA) Orangel
Published: May 2020

El presente estudio exploró los efectos del realce textual en la modalidad de letras mayúsculas y el tipo de forma gramatical (forma pasiva y presente perfecto) sobre la comprensión y el procesamiento en ochenta estudiantes universitarios de Inglés como Lengua Extranjera (ILE) del nivel I pertenecientes a dos instituciones universitarias distintas: Universidad del Zulia y Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador, Instituto Pedagógico de Barquisimeto “Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa”. Un Análisis Factorial Múltiple de Varianza (MANOVA) reveló que el realce textual no tuvo un impacto significativo en la comprensión y/o el procesamiento de los participantes, caso contrario a la forma gramatical. Los resultados conllevaron a elaborar un Análisis Factorial de Varianza (ANOVA) para la comprensión y el procesamiento. Los análisis mostraron que la forma pasiva resultó más beneficiosa en términos de comprensión, mientras que el presente perfecto mostró ser más efectivo para el procesamiento. Se concluye que los profesores de inglés deben diseñar actividades de clase y tareas que se adapten al grado de dificultad de tales formas gramaticales para promover su procesamiento más efectivamente.

El propósito de este artículo es proporcionar literatura sobre Ciudades del Aprendizaje, una propuesta de educación que a pesar de su importancia no tiene suficientes publicaciones para su estudio. Para desarrollar esta temática, no se contó con fuentes primarias de información, por lo que se basó en una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura, artículos científicos, informes y publicaciones disponibles en internet. Esta revisión teórica resultó en una compilación de información sobre temas tales como, la relevancia del aprendizaje permanente, la definición de las ciudades del aprendizaje, su importancia, sus dimensiones, sus características fundamentales y las ventajas de la integración de esta red global. A manera de conclusión, se ofrece esta nueva literatura que confirma este proyecto como una herramienta para enfrentar los desafíos educativos, con el fin de activar a los ciudadanos y hacer que el conocimiento sea una solución global a los problemas de la sociedad.
3. LA LINGÜÍSTICA DE CORPUS (LC) Y SU INCIDENCIA EN LA ENSEÑANZA DE LENGUAS EXTRANJERAS
Authors: Zapata Chinger
Published: May 2020

La LC ha brindado aportes a distintas ciencias del conocimiento, entre ellas, la didáctica de lenguas extranjeras. No obstante, muchos docentes de inglés en países de habla hispana parecieran no estar muy familiarizados con este tema. En el siguiente estudio de naturaleza documental, se revisa información relacionada a la LC, definición, teorías, métodos, clasificación, orígenes, con el propósito de develar el estado del arte de esta disciplina para poder posteriormente relacionarla con su impacto en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. El estudio revela las ventajas en el diseño de materiales a partir de corpora y de su utilización como herramienta dentro de las estrategias de enseñanza. Se concluye con un énfasis en la importancia de la implementación de los corpora al salón de clases de inglés y con una exhortación a los docentes en la utilización de esta disciplina para optimizar los procesos de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera.
4. DIMENSIONES DEL DOCENTE COMUNITARIO EN EDUCACIÓN ESPECIAL NO CONVENCIONAL
Authors: Perdomo (UPEL-IPB) Yarinés del Carmen
Published: May 2020

El estudio tuvo el propósito de generar un constructo teórico referente a las dimensiones del docente comunitario en educación especial no convencional, considerando la visión de un maestro que convierta sus criterios de acción pedagógica, entrelazando el interés cognitivo, emocional y crítico emancipador. Se subscribe en la metodología documental de desarrollo teórico: la revisión exhaustiva de sus referentes permitió construir un nuevo saber desde la dimensión epistemológica, ontológica, y pedagógica. Seconcluye, que éste docente promueve los saberes y haceres a través de la regla acción-reflexión-acción, porque  enfatiza en el uso de experiencias significativas dentro de la comunidad con la corresponsabilidadde la familia, comunidad y demás adultos significativos de la persona especial y está llamado a fortalecer y transformar su hacer, a la luz de las emociones, acciones y saberes más allá de los límites de la institución educativa.

Authors: Quiroga Pacheco Patricia Cecilia , Flores Ferrer (UPEL-IPB) Karla Migdalia
Published: May 2020

El presente artículo se suscribe en la modalidad de experiencia educativa producto de una investigación cuyo propósito fue analizar el Servicio Comunitario como experiencia desde la metodología  aprendizaje-servicio en el Departamento de Educación Técnica del Instituto Pedagógico de Barquisimeto “Luís Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, a partir de una amplia revisión de materiales impresos y electrónicos. Para ello fue necesario identificar las acciones emprendidas en el respectivo Departamento para llevar a cabo la ejecución del Servicio Comunitario, describir los proyectos comunitarios ejecutados en cada una de sus especialidades y  analizar  el  impacto social del servicio en las comunidades. La metodología empleada fue de tipo documental por cuanto se apoyó en la búsqueda, análisis e interpretación de datos secundarios. En los resultados se evidencia la evolución que ha tenido el Departamento de Educación Técnica en cuanto a la forma de administración del Servicio Comunitario    y la consolidación de las normas y procedimientos internos, para que los estudiantes puedan ejecutar proyectos en las comunidades y los docentes ejercer sus labores de tutoría propias del Servicio Comunitario dado que este debe ser entendido como elemento fundamental de la responsabilidad social  universitaria.

Authors: Mosquera (UST COLOMBIA) Carlos Enrique
Published: May 2020

El presente ensayo tiene como propósito dar a conocer el relato docente, como posibles dispositivos pedagógicos para mejorar la práctica docente.  La estrategia metodológica consistió en realizar un análisis documental a partir de algunos autores que abordan la temática, esto acompañado de narrativas de maestros en el entorno escolar. Este ejercicio permitió: a) se visibilizar las narrativas de los docentes como posibles dispositivos pedagógicos, para orientar la práctica docente; b) comprender que el quiebre del orden instituido en la escuela por los estudiantes, no se debe ver como un problema, sino como oportunidad para comprenderlos y reorientar el proceso de enseñanza; y c) la escuela debe ser repensada constantemente de las necesidades de sus usuarios más no desde marcos impuestos. En síntesis, se concluye que la tematización de la confesión del maestro y la comprensión del estudiante como texto que reclama ser comprendido, es un poderoso medio para repensar la escuela
Preparation of Series Schiff Bases and Studying of their Liquid Crystalline Behavior
Authors: Islamallah Bari Muhamd
Published: May 2020

Our study deals with   preparation   of two types of imine compounds differ in the type of terminal group, where one of them has a terminal carboxyl group COOH while the other contains methoxyOCH3 as a terminal group. In the first part of this research it was Identification by spectroscopy methods using infrared IR and nuclear magnetic resonance H NMR spectrum, besides elemental analysis shows the exact chemical structure of the expected synthesized compounds. In the second part was the study of liquid-crystalline behavior by polarized optical microscopy POM and differential scanning calorimetry DSC that showed a liquid crystal phase in the compounds that has odd number of carbon atoms in the terminal chain compounds in the first series, while the second series compounds showed liquid crystal phase in the   compounds that containing even number of atoms of carbon in the terminal chain.

Nigeria’s Population Explosion and Its Underdevelopment Imperatives
Authors: Olusegun Adedokun Jonathan , Eke Gabrielfavour
Published: May 2020

This paper discussed the increasing danger of population explosion in Nigeria and its implication to available food supply and social infrastructures. The objective of the paper is to show that over population is the reason for high level of illiteracy, wide spread unemployment, poverty and violent crime. The study reveals that with the rate of population increase in Nigeria if nothing is done, time will come when it will result to environmental hazards, malnutrition and other infectious diseases. It observed that while other countries of the world like China and India with increasing rate of population like Nigeria are making serious efforts through Laws and legislation to combat this population increase. The Nigerian leaders are not putting any effort to fight this menace rather what is taking centre stage in Nigeria is this issue of corruption and embezzlement of government funds. The paper was of the opinion that this attitude of our leaders is what has resulted to unemployment armed robbery, kidnapping, underdevelopment and crises of killing and marginalization.  It concluded by suggesting a way forward which includes reduction in early marriages which leads to increase in child bearing, corruption and poverty. Finally, it recommended that the government should encourage the people to do away with outdated customs and traditions which make it possible for people lay more emphasis on male children to the extent that unless they have male children, they will not be satisfied.  DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3382455
