La movilización y traslado de ganado bovino de carne es fundamental entre los diversos sistemas de producción que integran esta actividad debido a que es su medio de vinculación. El objetivo del presente estudio fue caracterizar el tipo de transporte que se utiliza para movilizar este tipo de ganado y describir la comercialización de su carne en Hidalgo, México. La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó mediante Google Académico, Redalyc, y SciELO, además se aplicó una breve encuesta a 3 transportistas de ganado y 25 comerciantes de carne bovina al por menor en Pachuca, Hidalgo, México. El tipo de transporte que se utiliza para trasladar y movilizar al ganado bovino de carne depende del número de animales y de la distancia, pero estrategias para su manejo antes y durante su movilización son necesarias para mejorar la calidad e inocuidad. Personas con actividades bien definidas participan en la cadena de comercialización de carne bovina pero aún no hay un sistema de trazabilidad en México que dé seguimiento a la cadena productiva. No obstante, en establecimientos de carne al por menor en Pachuca, Hidalgo, México, la carne se comercializa en base a la demanda que se genera para satisfacer los cortes de carne populares que demanda la población.

Desigualdades en las representaciones sobre las posiciones de clase de jóvenes en Argentina
Authors: Lemus Magdalena , Roberti Eugenia
Published: August 2023

Este artículo identifica y caracteriza las representaciones que jóvenes de distintas clases sociales argentinas construyen sobre la propia posición de clase y sobre posiciones ajenas. En particular, analizamos la dimensión simbólica de la desigualdad, indagando en base a qué representaciones, alteridades y jerarquías se construyen distancias y cercanías con personas a las que se considera similares y con quienes se visualizan como diferentes. La estrategia metodológica implicó la realización de 18 entrevistas biográficas con varones y mujeres de distintas clases sociales del Gran La Plata. Los/as entrevistados/as eran población económicamente activa y fueron seleccionadas por muestreo intencional. El análisis se basó en el «análisis socio hermenéutico de los discursos» y se realizó con Atlas ti. Los resultados indican que las representaciones sobre las posiciones de clase se configuran en torno a procesos de desigualdad material y simbólica y, dentro de estos últimos, a partir de alterizaciones y jerarquizaciones basadas en distintos clivajes que se asumen «naturales» y se experimentan como parte de la vida cotidiana y de forma rutinaria. Como elementos diferenciadores y desigualadores de las posiciones de clase, se distinguen la formación educativa de las familias, sus estilos de vida y prácticas de consumo.
ESI y los des–aprendizajes pendientes: Un abordaje biográfico–narrativo con docentes del nivel secundario en Mar del Plata, Argentina
Authors: Yedaide María Marta , Bequio Bárbara
Published: August 2023

Si bien la promulgación de la Ley 26.150 en Argentina ha definido que el derecho a la Educación Sexual Integral debe ser garantizado en todos los establecimientos educativos a partir de adecuaciones curriculares e institucionales, las resistencias siguen siendo importantes y llamativas luego de casi veinte años desde su implementación. Esto fundamentó el interés de la presente investigación, la cual da cuenta de algunas transformaciones suscitadas y otras pendientes en el entramado de las vidas personales y profesionales de docentes–narradoras. A partir de cuatro microrrelatos autobiográficos compartidos por profesoras y entramados con la Educación Sexual Integral (ESI), se teorizan algunas experiencias escolares desde las epistemologías feministas–críticas y queer. A través una perspectiva metodológica cualitativa y un enfoque biográfico–narrativo y autoetnográfico, el análisis de las narrativas muestran la eficacia de ciertas educaciones in–corporadas en las docentes —en tanto sujetas sociales— y la importancia de las crisis como oportunidades para la gestación de des–aprendizajes que resultan indispensables para enseñar de cara a la ESI.
Memorias del Holocausto en tiempos de pandemia. Investigaciones y aprendizajes en adolescentes de Escuela Secundaria
Authors: Raynoldi Gustavo Daniel
Published: August 2023

Esta experiencia educativa fue premiada en el año 2022. Los relatos presentados en el concurso en el cual participamos debían estar referidos al Holocausto/Shoá, y trabajados en algún nivel educativo en tiempos de pandemia según modalidades innovadoras y alternativas a la forma presencial. Este proyecto también describe nuestra experiencia en la práctica docente del profesorado, fortaleciendo la formación en el uso de herramientas pedagógicas provistas en las últimas materias de la carrera, con un cierre de aprendizajes significativos, en un recorrido limitado y potenciado a la vez por las condiciones que el período impuso. Consideramos que los adolescentes del nivel medio que estudien la Shoá ya pueden recibir explicaciones históricas, realizar investigaciones personalizadas, generar alguna empatía hacia las víctimas, desarrollar enfoques interdisciplinarios y tener contacto directo con sobrevivientes. El uso de internet puede desarrollar habilidades y destrezas que contribuyen a lo antedicho y sostienen el vínculo pedagógico. Esta experiencia del año 2020 se eslabona con otras previas que la gestaron en sus fundamentos pedagógicos–didácticos. Aunque las modalidades de enseñanza–aprendizaje variaron coyunturalmente, tienen en común mantener la memoria del Holocausto y la importancia del respeto a los derechos humanos como un deber ético.
Las canciones de la inundación, a veinte años. Santa Fe 2003–2023
Authors: López María Inés , Pittau Verónica
Published: August 2023

El 29 de abril de 2003 las aguas del río Salado ingresaron a la ciudad de Santa Fe (Argentina), por un tramo de terraplén sin terminar que, paradójicamente, ya se había inaugurado. La inundación afectó a más de 150 000 personas, un tercio de la población de la ciudad. Esta tragedia ocurrió poco tiempo después de la crisis social, política y económica que en 2001 sacudió al país.  A lo largo de estos 20 años la región generó producciones artísticas de todo tipo sobre esta inundación. La canción fue una de las manifestaciones predominantes que canalizó el dolor individual y colectivo para convertirse en memoria musical que actualiza la vigencia de los hechos. El repertorio local que se desarrolló aborda una gama amplia de géneros y sectores sociales, interpelados por una causa y una memoria común. 

     En el marco del proyecto de investigación y desarrollo CAI+D 2020 del Instituto Superior de Música de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral: «Procesos creativos en la canción popular argentina: composición, arreglo, versión e interpretación», estudiamos a la canción popular como fenómeno comunicacional que se constituye en un emergente de condiciones de producción específicas y coordenadas de tiempo–lugar. Desde este enfoque, realizamos un relevamiento y análisis del repertorio de canciones sobre la inundación en Santa Fe que se produjo en la ciudad desde 2003 hasta el presente. Nos proponemos estudiar las diferentes maneras de mantener viva la memoria de los hechos, procesar el dolor, denunciar la impunidad de los responsables políticos o la ausencia del estado para asistir a las víctimas y relatar las historias de los protagonistas.
Раздельный сбор мусора: институциональные проблемы формирования проэкологических практик повседневности
Authors: Литвинцев Денис Борисович , Абрамова Надежда Владиславовна , Романов Дмитрий Сергеевич
Published: August 2023

Исследования проблемы раздельного сбора мусора в дискурсе проэкологического поведения жителей многоквартирных домов с каждым годом становятся все более популярны среди российских специалистов, представляющих различные сферы (социология, психология, экономика и др.) и школы. Целью настоящего исследования с опорой на представления о взаимодействии материально-технологической и институциональной среды социума является отражение неготовности населения России к так называемой мусорной реформе в силу различных обстоятельств. На примере сравнительного анализа результатов исследований в городах Москве, Новосибирске и Казани с учетом имеющихся вторичных данных показаны наиболее значимые препятствия в реализации нового вектора жилищной политики в России. Авторами отмечается, что особенности городской инфраструктуры, отсутствие свободного времени и пространства в самом жилище (квартире), отсутствие стимулов и недостаточная информированность жителей могут препятствовать реализации мусорной реформы. Неготовность материально-технологической среды к новому социальному институту раздельного сбора отходов, а также его несоответствие уже сложившимся повседневным практикам не будут способствовать укоренению формальных правил.
Масштабы занятости в неформальном секторе экономики: парадоксы измерения
Authors: Куницына Наталья Николаевна , Дюдикова Екатерина Ивановна
Published: August 2023

Наличие достаточного количества рабочих мест в формальном секторе экономики способствует сокращению размеров неформальной и теневой занятости. Их измерение требует оценки фактических масштабов неформализованной занятости, рассматриваемой мировым сообществом в двух взаимодополняющих аспектах: занятости в неформальном секторе и неформальной занятости. Сегодня отсутствует единый методологический базис измерения неформальной занятости в целом, в основу отечественного подхода положена методика 1993 г., не отражающая современных тенденций. В этой связи авторы этой статьи преследовали несколько целей: аргументировать несоответствия официально представляемых данных реалиям рынка труда, определить недостатки характеристик, применяемых к единицам выборки неформального сектора, на основе результатов проведенного социологического опроса оценить масштабы неформальности в сегменте малого и среднего предпринимательства (МСП), сформулировать рекомендации по совершенствованию методологического базиса оценки занятости в неформальном секторе.  В ходе исследования применена адаптированная методика Путниньша-Сауки, позволившая определить Индекс неформальной экономики и границы занятости в неформальном секторе. Полученные результаты имеют прикладное значение для проведения региональных социально-демографических исследований.
В результате выявлены неточности статистической информации о занятости в неформальном секторе МСП, охарактеризован комплекс факторов, влияющих на степень вовлеченности предпринимателей в неформальную экономику как социальное явление. Установлено, что в отсутствие интенсивного сдерживающего государственного вмешательства на рынке, а также при разумной поддержке бизнеса и обеспечении условий для его развития интерес предпринимателей к теневой деятельности снижается. Отмечается невозможность полного искоренения неформализованной занятости, акцентируется внимание на перспективности сокращения ее границ с позиции как репрессивных мер воздействия, так и полномасштабной реализации превентивных процедур и внедрения стимулов в рамках социальной экосистемы взаимодействия.

Published: August 2023

The FIT policy are widely adopted in the world to promote the utilization of renewable energy technology (RET). Tariff rates, tariff regression mechanisms, contract term, and quota constraints are all components of the FIT policy. This policy has also been adopted by Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN countries to optimize their renewable energy (RE) potential. This paper examines the utilization of RET in power generation under the FIT policy from the perspective of the growth of renewable energy, environment, and investment which applied in five major ASEAN countries in term of the biggest generation capacity, such as: Indonesia Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. This study shows that the FIT has been successful in accelerating renewable energy growth compared to pre-FIT, where annual RE capacity growth was 7.52% in Thailand (2007-2021), 16.38% in Vietnam (2011-2021), 4.56% in Indonesia (2012-2021) 2021), 9.11% in Malaysia (2012-2021), and 5.21% in the Philippines (2012-2021). FIT also managed to keep CO2/kWh emissions production stable in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand while increasing RE production in their power systems. Otherwise, due to the low utilization of RET in Indonesia and the Philippines, CO2 emissions in them has increased significantly, 6.67% per year at Indonesia, and 15.25% per year at the Philippines after the introduction of the FIT. Generally, FIT has succeeded in increasing the value of international funding investments in RE sector in Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines

The research method used is the empirical juridical method and the type of research that the authors conducted was qualitative research. The primary data in this study was data collection through interviews, where in this data collection the authors conducted question and answer directly to the informants. Secondary data in this research is by collecting data through document studies from both books and journals. In essence, restorative justice is regulated in Law No. 23 of 2004, Attorney General Regulation No. 15 of 2020 and Law No. 11 of 2021. In Attorney General Regulation No. 15 of 2020 it is explained that the conditions for restorative justice to occur are that the suspect has committed a crime for the first time, has an amicable note, criminal acts in prison cannot be more than 5 years, losses incurred are no more than Rp. 2.5 Million. In the research that the authors conducted, the results of this study showed that there were no peaceful efforts from the defendant or the victim, so that the defendant was processed by law with a verdict that the defendant was given a prison sentence of 1 month and 8 days.
The importance of a good review(er) for educational technology research
Authors: Corrin Linda , Lodge Jason M. , Thompson Kate
Published: August 2023

The process of peer review has been central to academic publishing in educational technology for at least 50 years. In this editorial we discuss what makes a good review as well as a good reviewer for AJET. This includes an overview of the peer review process and the identification of key features of a good review. We discuss the selection and appointment of reviewers with reference specifically to AJET, and how decisions are made when assigning reviewers to articles. Current challenges facing peer review both broadly in academia and specifically in our field involve the intersection of increasing demand for reviews (due to an expansion of the number of journals), limited opportunities for professional development, and decreasing time available for service to the academy and community for researchers. We conclude with a discussion of the future of peer review practices and how these relate to future directions for AJET.
Zmiany powierzchni leśnych na terenie Parku Krajobrazowego Puszcza Zielonka w ostatnich 180 latach w aspekcie krajobrazowym
Authors: Macias Andrzej , Bródka Sylwia , Kubacka Marta
Published: August 2023

The article presents the results of research on changes in forest areas in the PuszczaZielonka Landscape Park. An analysis of forest area transformations was carried out with the use of landscape metrics. Archival cartographic material in the form of topographic maps in the scale of 1 : 25 000, coming from four different periods (1830, 1890, 1940 and 1979/80) and a generalized Database of Topographic Object (BDOT) dated 2010, were used for the research. The result of the research are quantitative and qualitative characteristics of changes in the area and the spatial layout of the forest areas and a model of landscape processes taking place in the Puszcza Zielonka Landscape Park. The first analyzed period (1830–1890) was characterized by a small regression of forest area (index of changes WD = ‒0.05), whereas fragmentation and dissection of forest patches prevailed. The second period (1890–1940), despite the slight increase in forest areas (WD = +0.03), was characterized by a decrease in the number of patches and a reduction of their borders’ length. In the third period (1940-1979), the landscape increment process (WD = +0.27), mainly related to the filling of non-forested areas within forest complexes, prevailed. After 1979, the direction of changes was similar but on a much smaller scale (WD = +0.04).
Prudent Reflective Equilibrium
Authors: Coitinho Silveira Denis
Published: August 2023

The main aim of this paper is to propose the inclusion of the expertise of a prudent agent within the procedure of reflective equilibrium by adding a disposition for identifying reasonable beliefs. This can be seen as the starting point of the method, and would safeguard against the criticism of conservatism and subjectivism. In order to do this, I will begin by analyzing the core characteristics of the method and its main weaknesses. I will then investigate the characteristics of prudence as a disposition for identifying an adequate means for achieving a good end. With this in mind, I will apply prudence to the procedure which is carried out by an agent who deliberates well and can identify reasonable moral beliefs. These beliefs must be justified according to their consistency with ethical principles and with the factual beliefs of relevant scientific theories. Finally, I will argue that this deliberative process is consistent with ethical pluralism and democracy, and can be interpreted as a kind of moral knowledge.
Longitudinal assessment of bone health index as a measure of bone health in short-statured children before and during treatment with recombinant growth hormone
Authors: Holzapfel Lukas , Choukair Daniela , Schenk Jens-Peter , Bettendorf Markus
Published: August 2023

Objectives

The aim of our study was the longitudinal assessment of bone health index (BHI) in short-statured children during growth hormone (GH) treatment to estimate changes in their bone health.

Methods

256 short-statured children (isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) n=121, multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) n=49, intrauterine growth retardation (small for gestational age (SGA)) n=52, SHOX (short stature homeobox gene) deficiency n=9, Ullrich Turner syndrome (UTS) n=25) who started with GH between 2010 and 2018 were included. Annual bone ages (Greulich and Pyle, GP) and BHI were, retrospectively, analysed in consecutive radiographs of the left hand (BoneXpert software) from GH therapy start (T0) up to 10 years (T10) thereafter, with T max indicating the individual time point of the last available radiograph. The results are presented as the median (25 %/75 % interquartile ranges, IQR) and statistical analyses were performed using non-parametric tests as appropriate.

Results

The BHI standard deviation scores (SDS) were reduced (−0.97, −1.8/−0.3) as bone ages were retarded (−1.6 years, −2.31/−0.97) in all patients before start of GH and were significantly lower in patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (−1.04, −1.85/−0.56; n=170) compared to non-GHD patients (−0.79, −1.56/−0.01; n=86; p=0.022). BHI SDS increased to −0.17 (−1/0.58) after 1 year of GH (T1, 0.5–1.49, p<0.001) and to −0.20 (−1/−0.50, p<0.001) after 5.3 years (T max, 3.45/7.25).

Conclusions

BHI SDS are reduced in treatment-naive short-statured children regardless of their GH status, increase initially with GH treatment while plateauing thereafter, suggesting sustained improved bone health.
Seasonal distribution analysis of five lasiurine bat species: clues to migration patterns and behavior
Authors: Rojas-Herrera Karen , Villalobos Fabricio , Guillén-Servent Antonio , Solari Sergio , Rojas-Soto Octavio
Published: August 2023

Lasiurus is a bat genus recognised to have migratory species. However, little is known about the seasonal distribution for most of its species. We used spatial analysis of occurrence records and ecological niche modeling to evaluate the seasonal distributions of five species: Lasiurus borealis, Lasiurus frantzii, Lasiurus ega, Lasiurus xanthinus, and Lasiurus intermedius, to disentangle their seasonal distribution patterns. L. intermedius, L. xanthinus, and L. frantzii presented distinct seasonal patterns in the rate of occurrence records in different areas, which accumulate most records in the northern populations in summer. For L. borealis, we found seasonal variation throughout its entire distribution, with most records in summer and a progressive decline towards winter. In contrast, L. ega showed no seasonal changes in any region. In species with seasonal changes in their occurrences records, the projections of summer conditions did not predict their preferred winter conditions, suggesting these species occupy different ecological niches seasonally. We found seasonality in the northern areas of these species’ distributions, although we could not distinguish whether migration movements or torpor behaviors are the underlying cause. Conversely, we suggest that most central and southern populations of the five species do not exhibit seasonality and are year-round residents.
Materialidades discriminatórias: racismo concretizado no cotidiano
Authors: De Abreu e Souza Rafael
Published: August 2023

Busco, neste artigo, dar contribuições arqueológicas ao debate sobre o racismo no Brasil, focando na potência de materialidades discriminatórias que atuam no seio estrutural e sistêmico do racismo à brasileira e, portanto, na manutenção de privilégios materiais à branquitude. Materialidades discriminatórias são marcas físicas de opressão que estabelecem normas de exclusão e perpetuam o privilégio branco. São tecnologias culpadas e responsáveis pelo racismo como fim coletivo. Argumento que arqueologias antirracistas devem expor e problematizar discursos materiais que normalizam relações sociais racistas no cotidiano através de corpos, objetos e espaços. Dou sugestões de como a branquitude-arqueológica pode se juntar à luta antirracista da negritude-arqueológica usando seus privilégios e suas posições de poder na prática da disciplina e na construção de suas narrativas e escolha de temas, atentos a lugares de fala, representatividades e falsas empatias.
Eu Empregada Doméstica: Heranças, Resistências e Enfrentamentos das Trabalhadoras Domésticas no Brasil
Authors: Dias Luciana de Oliveira , Almeida Lyzyê Inácio
Published: August 2023

Este artigo resulta de um estudo interdisciplinar de processos de resistência às violações de direitos de trabalhadoras domésticas no Brasil, processos estes conduzidos por movimentos sociais e políticos liderados por mulheres negras. Complementarmente, as resistências e enfretamentos das trabalhadoras domésticas foram lidos por meio de relatos retirados da página do Facebook - Eu Empregada Doméstica. Esses relatos indicam que as trabalhadoras domésticas foram e ainda são destituídas de poder e direitos, sendo a profissão um dos legados atualizados do período escravocrata. Inicialmente recorremos a uma descrição de fragmentos de vidas, como de Dona Laudelina, que informam uma narrativa insurgente das trabalhadoras domésticas, seus enfrentamentos, heranças e lutas por direitos trabalhistas e humanos. Seguimos a escrita com uma análise reflexiva dos relatos publicamente disponibilizados na página Eu Empregada Doméstica que contam sobre o dia a dia das trabalhadoras domésticas na casa dos patrões. O eixo das reflexões realizadas, que considerou a intersecção entre racismo e machismo, esteve situado nos processos de engajamento e subalternização das trabalhadoras domésticas, majoritariamente negras, no Brasil.

RAÇA, COLONIALIDADE E PODER: DESDE ANTÉNOR FIRMIN
Authors: Troitinho Bruna Ribeiro
Published: August 2023

A história da área de Antropologia é narrada, em sua maioria, por escritores do Norte Global que, apesar de derrubarem teoricamente a perspectiva racialista e evolucionista que existia no século XIX, continuam ignorando teóricos do Sul Global. Este artigo discute a trajetória e a obra produzida por Anténor Firmin, antropólogo haitiano que em 1885 publicou De l’e´galite´ des races humaines (Da Igualdade das Raças Humanas). Essa obra é uma importante crítica ao paradigma racialista que fundou a Antropologia, mas que se mantém silenciada na área. Assim, o artigo discute como o lugar social de Firmin foi responsável pelo apagamento da sua obra dentro da Antropologia. Recuperar as discussões iniciadas por escritores subalternizados é uma alternativa para compreender os limites que ainda existem nas bases teóricas da disciplina.
The Eclectic Case of Japanese Video Game Music
Authors: Merlini Mattia
Published: August 2023

Japanese video game music often features a degree of eclecticism that is not common in Western soundtracks. Such compositions blend elements originally belonging to different styles in a peculiar way, capable of giving life to a new musical language in which the diversity of its components does not seem to necessarily symbolize a specific alterity or an idea of otherness. Instead, in this language eclecticism becomes the new norm, a “natural and neutral” way of expressing whatever the soundtrack needs to express, regardless of the national and musical origins of the single stylistic features that are being used. This article compares the foundation of this new eclectic neutrality with the idea of mukokuseki (statelessness) and with other kinds of music (especially anime music), in search for the cultural factors that motivate the widespread persistence of a uniquely eclectic musical language. Four factors are analyzed: the hybridity of Japanese postmodern culture, the eclecticism of popular (and anime) music in Japan, the influence of specific Western artists and genres, and the role of technological affordances. The multifactorial solution to the problem highlights the necessity of searching the reasons behind eclectic Japanese video game music not only (and maybe not primarily) in contingent factors motivated by single games, but also in structural factors motivated by the peculiarities of contemporary Japanese culture.
The cell cycle protein MAD2 facilitates endocytosis of the serotonin transporter in the neuronal soma
Authors: Koban Florian , Freissmuth Michael
Published: August 2023

Monoamine transporters retrieve serotonin (SERT), dopamine (DAT), and norepinephrine (NET) from the synaptic cleft. Transporter internalization contributes to the regulation of their surface expression. Clathrin‐mediated endocytosis of plasma membrane proteins requires adaptor protein‐2 (AP2), which recruits cargo to the nascent clathrin cage. However, the intracellular portions of monoamine transporters are devoid of a conventional AP2‐binding site. Here, we identify a MAD2 (mitotic arrest deficient‐2) interaction motif in the C‐terminus of SERT, which binds the closed conformation of MAD2 and allows for the recruitment of two additional mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) proteins, BubR1 and p31comet, and of AP2. We visualize MAD2, BubR1, and p31comet in dorsal raphe neurons, and depletion of MAD2 in primary serotonergic rat neurons decreases SERT endocytosis in the soma. Our findings do not only provide mechanistic insights into transporter internalization but also allow for rationalizing why SAC proteins are present in post‐mitotic neurons.
Asexuality in Drosophila juvenile males is organizational and independent of juvenile hormone
Authors: Ji Xiaoxiao , Li Xiaolong , Wang Lin , Liu Suning , Jiang Xinyu , Pan Yufeng
Published: August 2023

Sexuality is generally prevented in newborns and arises with organizational rewiring of neural circuitry and optimization of fitness for reproduction competition. Recent studies reported that sex circuitry in Drosophila melanogaster is developed in juvenile males but functionally inhibited by juvenile hormone (JH). Here, we find that the fly sex circuitry, mainly expressing the male‐specific fruitless (fruM) and/or doublesex (dsx), is organizationally undeveloped and functionally inoperative in juvenile males. Artificially activating all fruM neurons induces substantial courtship in solitary adult males but not in juvenile males. Synaptic transmissions between major courtship regulators and all dsx neurons are strong in adult males but either weak or undetectable in juvenile males. We further find that JH does not inhibit male courtship in juvenile males but instead promotes courtship robustness in adult males. Our results indicate that the transition to sexuality from juvenile to adult flies requires organizational rewiring of neural circuitry.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTOnline peer feedback has become common in university writing classrooms due to the availability of computer technology. This study aimed to explore EFL learners' experiences engaged in online peer feedback on writing through cloud collaboration. This study was an extension activity of the paragraph writing class for two weeks, in which ten participants voluntarily took part in it and were monitored by two instructors. The peer feedback exchanges, text revisions, and comments from interviews were qualitatively analyzed, and the emerging patterns of interaction were quantified. The results showed that the involvement of the participants in online peer feedback via cloud collaboration facility enabled students to detect and comprehend numerous writing problems, as well as revise and improve their work; both revision and non-revision-oriented feedbacks are part of the overall online textual interaction and communication that can be used to help them develop their second language; and the students also expressed different perspectives about whether they appreciated or disliked their online peer feedback experience. This study also provided some implications and recommendations for further research.ABSTRAKUmpan balik teman sebaya secara online telah menjadi hal yang umum di ruang kelas menulis di universitas sebagai hasil dari ketersediaan teknologi komputer.

Published: August 2023

Dissemination of medical education scholarship is important for individual professional development and advancement of the field. With growing interest in medical education research, the venues for dissemination have grown in number and variety. In this article, we describe a general approach to meaningful dissemination of medical education scholarship, reviewing considerations for selection of a venue on the basis of type of project, personal and professional goals, and intended audience. After these overall principles, we provide an overview of specific venues, with equal emphasis on traditional manuscript-style submissions and newer digital opportunities for dissemination.

Published: August 2023

Transradial access (TRA) has grown in popularity recently. It has postprocedural percutaneous coronary intervention success rates that are similar to transfemoral access. TRA coronary angiography is associated with fewer vascular and bleeding complications, earlier ambulation, greater postprocedural comfort and better cost-effectiveness. Coronary heart disease has become the most prevalent cardiovascular disease, making TRA the best option for undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention. It is associated with fewer vascular and bleeding complications than the transfemoral approach. However, TRA is associated with several intraprocedural difficulties during coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention, such as radial artery spasm, perforation and catheter kinking. Operators must recognise the potential vascular complications associated with radial artery access. This article describes various techniques to help manage complications, leading to a successful procedure.

Background: The goal in the treatment of ST-elevation MI (STEMI) is prompt revascularisation. This study aims to assess system delays and identify optimal target points within each step of the response program. Methods: This study included adults aged >19 years enrolled in the acute MI (AMI) registry due to STEMI and treated with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 2019 and June 2021. Door-to-balloon times and STEMI diagnosis-to-wire cross times were divided into Met and Unmet groups, and time frames were compared using the Mann–Whitney U-test. For time frames with no significant difference, the median of the Met group was adopted, whereas, for significantly different time frames, the optimal target points were chosen from the highest percentages of Met if the value was less than or equal to the target point and Unmet if the value was greater than the target point. ORs with 95% CIs from binary logistic regression were calculated to predict the Met status. Results: In all, 113 participants were analysed. Significant delays were observed in ECG to paging (p≤0.034), cardiology fellow on duty (CFOD) arrival to STEMI diagnosis (p=0.008), STEMI diagnosis to consent (p≤0.001), consent to cath lab (p≤0.001) and cath lab to puncture (p=0.003). The optimal targets in minutes were as follows: door to ECG (≤9 median), ECG to paging (≤1, OR 2.19, p=0.069), paging to CFOD arrival (≤2 median), CFOD arrival to STEMI diagnosis (≤3, OR 2.15, p=0.086), STEMI diagnosis to consent (≤10, OR 7.57, p≤0.001), consent to cath lab (≤24, OR 15.38, p≤0.001), cath lab to puncture (≤12, OR 2.68, p≤0.043). Conclusion: In a developing country and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the most significant delays in our STEMI programme occurred in obtaining consent for emergency PCI and transferring patients to the cath lab. Optimal target points for each time frame can provide concrete objectives that may increase the likelihood of achieving door-to-balloon time and STEMI diagnosis to wire cross goals.
Rethinking Indigenous Religious Traditions with Jace Weaver
Authors: Weaver Jace , Harvey Graham , Taylor Bron , Brown Marie Alohalani , Owen Suzanne , Scharnick-Udemans Lee-Shae
Published: August 2023

This roundtable revolves around Jace Weaver’s article ‘“Either the Ball is Green, or the Ball is Not Green”’. Arguing that the field of Indigenous religious traditions has been both under-analyzed and under-theorized, Weaver rejects the facile statement that such traditions are those practiced by Indigenous groups or peoples. He sets forth seven definitional characteristics that create a rubric with which to test religious traditions. He then tests his rubric against a number of traditions, including Shinto, Mormonism, Cao Dai, the Code of Handsome Lake, and the Ghost Dance of 1889–1890. The discussion continues with responses from Graham Harvey, Bron Taylor, Marie Alohalani Brown, Suzanne Owen, and Lee-Shae Scharnick-Udemans. The discussion concludes with a rejoinder from Weaver.

Problems implementation using the finite element method (FEM) is primarily associated with the proper selection of approximation order of the shape functions, material behavior models, the coupling nature analysis and the implementation techniques choice. The choice of numerical solution parameters affects the computational procedures. The paper solves problem of the FEM parameters selection and its realization methods in order to achieve a reasonable balance between the counting time and the solution quality. Simplex elements have shape functions with linear dependences on the coordinates. The FEM implementation with the use of simplex elements has proven itself during the last decades. However, one can note the description inaccuracy of curvilinear boundaries of research objects, which can introduce additional inaccuracies in the problem numerical solution. Second-order elements will allow describing curvilinear boundaries, but require a large expenditure of computational power especially for nonlinear mechanics problems. The development of numerical application software packages allows us to evaluate the influence of the FEM approximation degree on the problem solution with the use of grid methods and computer resources at the present time. The paper found that an increase in the numerical solution error is observed at the point of initial steel - polymer contact. The study considers the elements of order 1 and 2 to analyze the influence of the FEM approximation order on the problem numerical solution. The study is carried out within the framework of the classical Hertz problem. In addition the paper investigate obtained solutions for modeling different characters of contact surface coupling for the problem of contact between a spherical die and a steel half-space through a protective polymer coating 4 mm to 12 mm thick. The study reveal that the elements order has the least influence on the problem solution at ideal contact and the greatest one at frictional contact.

The article considers the task of building an effective and efficient organization of the management processes of a medical organization. A distinctive feature is noted - social orientation as the main function, and not just profit maximization with limited resources. This approach requires taking into account not only financial and resource components, but also the impact of many other external factors. However, the authors, realizing the difficulty of describing them, propose to take into account the effect of the "social orientation of the institution" in an implicit form when describing the financial condition of the organization. Taking into account implicit, including external, factors is possible when implementing models not only of statistical and financial analysis, as is usually accepted, but also their extensions to some image recognition methods, which often have a simple computer implementation. In particular, the formalization of the financial condition model of the organization is proposed, which reduces to the problem of mathematical programming with state vectors of both internal and external factors. The possibility of considering a decision-making model that would take into account the influence of possible external factors is also considered, while the "informality" of the problem in the sense of the absence of classical methods of solution is indicated. In this regard, it is proposed to reduce the model to the task of discriminant analysis, which is essentially a system of inequalities. Methods for solving systems of linear inequalities are known, but they are difficult to implement. For this reason, it is proposed to add an optimality criterion (objective function) to the discriminant analysis model, which allows to obtain a linear programming problem that already has simpler computer implementations of solutions. However, this possibility is present only in the case of linear constraints, which is a somewhat special case of the general problem. To solve the problem, in its broadest sense, it is proposed not only to reduce it to mathematical programming, and then to discriminant analysis, but also an effective recognition algorithm indicating the solvability of the problem. The process of constructive problem solving often requires a lot of time and effort, even with the powerful development of modern technologies. With the help of the given recognition algorithm, the discriminant analysis model in some formulation is output in a matrix form, which allows us to conclude when the model has the existence of a separating functional. The authors also propose the use of majority committee methods. The derived algorithm is quite simple to implement, but at the same time effective and efficient in practice, which makes it universal for this kind of tasks.
