DESIGN BASED ON ICF - The training courses for in-service teachers
Authors:   Open University ‘Giustino Fortunato’, Italy, Agrati Laura Sara
Published: August 2021

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) allowed to adopt that new of 'functioning', which refers to bodily structures and functions, activity and participation and interaction between these and personal and environmental factors.The model is increasingly becoming the reference for the planning/organization of inclusive interventions, in Europe and in the Italian schools: it has been one of the main topics (l. 107/2015) in the last three-year Italian teacher training plan. The work presents procedures the early results of three professionaltraining courses evaluation (2017-2019). The courses involved 73in-service teachers and aimed to enhance the design skills of Individualized Education Plan (IEP) on ICF model. According to the Kirkpatrick Model,the evaluation has been conducted on the teachers’ ‘learnings’ and ‘transfer’ detected through pre-post test and a document analysis of the IEP. The study highlighted few linguistic and semantic difficulties and a better teachers’ sensitivity to the environmental component of the functioning. It offers some useful hints for the construction of a possible trans-national platform (as sharing of practices, data-base)about the training of school teachers on ICF bio-psychosocial model, as well as arguments regarding the tools for verifying the effectiveness of teachers training interventions.

School activity is characterized by high physical and mental demands. Any failure to adapt these requests to the possibilities of the age group can be associated with school failure. The study was carried out on a group of 208 students from the 9thgrade from three high schools in Iasi county. A questionnaire regarding school activity and the causes of the phenomenon of school fatigue was applied. The results were processed using Pearson's chi-squared test. The students are constantly preparing only for certain subjects (72.59%). In most cases (65.86%) adolescents admit that they have been taughthow to study only in certain subjects. Fatigue is often present in 58.65% of students. The students attribute the occurrence of this phenomenon to the numerous subjects they have to study (55.76), the large volume of homework (51.92%), insufficient sleep (48.55%), teachers being too strict (25%), or the breaks being too short (25%). Special attention must be paidto night time sleep which is insufficient in 66,82% of cases. Many factors that generate school fatigue must be known and carefully assessed in order to reduce the frequency of this phenomenon.

The aim of this study is to investigate how the concept of “authentic learning” and “authentic assessment” is formed in the discourse of education executives with previous teaching experience in primary and secondary education. Authentic learning is based on the theory of social constructivism, according to which the social nature of knowledge is emphasized and the learner builds knowledge by creating meaningful authentic activities. Authentic assessment is described as adynamic form of assessment which focuses on the skills developed by students during the learning process(Woolfolk, 2007). The design of learning environments is based on the nine features of authentic learning, constructivism and the theory of embedded learning (Herrington, 2006). In this study examples of authentic activities that support authentic learning environments in which a variety of authentic techniques are used and they are related to different subjects are presented. The sample of the study consisted of 114 adults participating in a training program as a qualification for their professional development during the year 2018-2019. Quantitative analysis of the data was conducted. The analysis of the data revealed that an authentic learning environment consists of experientiality, interdisciplinarity, team work, problem solving, self-assessment, peer-assessment, real-world relevance, which are characteristics of authentic learning and assessment. Moreover, the implementation of authentic learning activities can lead to the development of the cognitive, metacognitive, social and communicative skills of the 21st century.

Published: August 2021

Traditionaleducationalinstructionis being replaced by new, more holistic paradigms requiring both a methodological change and a new definition of the role of the teacher and students. This study proposes a new education paradigm based on active teamwork methodologies (such as cooperative learning)and mindfulness techniques. Cooperative learning is a well-known strategy that has obtained very positive results in the development of competences and skills. Mindfulness techniques favor the development of attitudes and values as well as increase dinner-calm, resulting in lower levels of stress and anxiety among both students and teachers. The proposed paradigm was implemented in a course of the master’s degree program for Secondary School Teachers at the University of Almeria (Spain). The results show that students were more engaged with the learning process and developeda greater sense of responsibility and empathy,not only towards their own learning but also to their classmates’ learning. The procedure included the application of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) at the beginning and at the end of the course to measure the evolution of the students in different items related to mindfulness.
INTEGRATING STUDENTS WITH REFUGEE AND ASYLUM SEEKER BACKGROUNDS INTO SCHOOL: TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES
Authors:   University of Newcastle, Australia, Sellars Maura
Published: August 2021

The critical aspect of refugee and asylum seeker education has become almost a worldwide phenomenon. The difficulties of language, culture, acceptance and resettlement all impact on a school’s capacity to support these students and ensure that they access to best educational opportunities possible in many countries which are dominated by neoliberalized education systems. Neoliberalized education systems are dominated by the five Cs (Competitiveness, Conformity, Conservatism, Convention and Commerce) and are the antithesis of the European educational child-centred traditions conceived by Pestalozzi, Froebel, Steiner and others. This writing draws on a research project designed to establish the perspectives of members of a school community about belonging. It was conducted in a primary school in urban Australia which has a reputation for developing inclusive practices and an ethos of belonging for its diverse homeland population and its refugee and asylum seeker population which comprised 40% of the school enrolment at the time of the investigation. The research indicated the importance of the teacher perspectives, values and beliefs and has implications for teachers of refugee and asylum seeker students everywhere. It also has implications for preservice teacher education and the importance of preparation to specifically support these cohorts of students and their communities in addition to being flexible and open to change.
THE EVOLUTION OF CHINA'S PRIVATE EDUCATION POLICY: HISTORICAL REVIEW AND PATH ANALYSIS
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Beijing Normal University, People’s Republic of China, Yang Li
Published: August 2021

Based on the policy texts of private education since the founding of the People's Republic of China and from the perspective of historical institutionalism, this article draws the following three conclusions. First, being shaped by changing policies from the state, the development process of China's private education could be divided into four mainstages: the stage of being eliminated(1949~1978), recovery and preliminary development (1978~1992), thriving continually(1992~2016), and under classified management as well as standardized development (from2016). Second, the evolution of private education policy has experienced punctuated equilibrium and gradual transformation as two main modes, which is determined by critical juncturesand path dependence. Third, government power and market mechanism play the role of dynamic mechanism of institutional change. To conclude, the article suggests that the state should further clarify the respective responsibilities of the government and the market mechanism to realize the positive mutual interaction.
Cadmium and zinc uptake by dried activated sludge: Equilibrium and experimental design study
Authors: Remenárová Lucia , Pipíška Martin , Horník Miroslav , Marešová Jana , Augustín Jozef
Published: August 2021

Removal of Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions from single and binary solutions by dried activated sludge was studied in batch experiments. It was shown that the metal removal is a rapid process significantly influenced by solution pH. Maximum uptake of both Cd and Zn was reached at pH 6.0 and negligible uptake was observed at pH 2.0. The Langmuir isotherm was found to well represent the measured equilibrium sorption data in single metal systems and the maximum sorption capacities Qmax of the activated sludge (d.w.), calculated from Langmuir model were 540 ± 16 μmol/g for Zn2+ and 510 ± 17 μmol/g for Cd2+ ions. The Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for investigation of interaction and competitive effects in binary metal system. It was found that dried activated sludge in binary system Cd-Zn has slightly higher affinity for Cd2+ comparing with Zn2+ ions. Competitive effect of Cd on Zn uptake increased with increasing solution pH and Cd initial concentration. Maximum sorption capacities of the activated sludge were 321 μmol Cd2+/g and 312 μmol Zn2+/g. RSM appears to be a better tool for the evaluation of interaction and competitive effects in binary systems than both the simple extrapolation from single-component systems and experimentally difficult study of multi-component systems.

Authors: Lewandowska Małgorzata Stefania
Published: August 2021

The relationship between innovation and international competitiveness is the subject of many research studies. The aim of the paper is to examine the association between the introduction of product innovation individually and in pairs with process and marketing innovation and the exporting of enterprises from 13 European Union countries, mainly from Central and Eastern Europe. The study used anonymized micro data from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) for 2012-2014. Based on the sample of 98 809 enterprises, 14 models were built using path analysis with the Bonferroni correction, one for the whole sample and 13 for each of the country studied. The analysis indicates positive link between the introduction of product innovation on sales activity on foreign markets of the enterprises of the surveyed countries (measured by exporting), but only for Germany and Spain. Surprisingly, adding process or marketing innovation to product innovation in most of the cases has an adverse effect on exporting.

Published: August 2021

The results of the study of the grain-size composition and the grade of crushability of recycled crushed stone and their dependence on the strength of the original recycled concrete are presented. It is found that recycled crushed stone obtained from the original concrete of classes B10 - B30 does not meet the requirements of GOST 8267-93 for total residues on Ø25, Ø20, Ø5 and Ø2.5 sieves. Regardless of the strength of the original concrete, the main fraction of recycled crushed stone is grains with sizes from 12.5 to 20 mm. The strength (grade in terms of crushability) of the recycled crushed stone increases with an increase in the strength of the original concrete. The study of the main parameters of recycled crushed stone at the current moment has been carried out in an insufficient (for widespread introduction into production) volume and requires further study for the subsequent development of independent regulatory and technical documentation (or additions to the current regulatory and technical documents).

Published: August 2021

There is a need for a straightforward, accessible and accurate pediatric test for color vision deficiency (CVD). We present and evaluate ColourSpot, a self-administered, gamified and color calibrated tablet-based app, which diagnoses CVD from age 4. Children tap colored targets with saturations that are altered adaptively along the three dichromatic confusion lines. Two cohorts (Total, N = 772; Discovery, N = 236; Validation, N = 536) of 4–7-year-old boys were screened using the Ishihara test for Unlettered Persons and the Neitz Test of Color Vision. ColourSpot was evaluated by testing any child who made an error on the Ishihara Unlettered test alongside a randomly selected control group who made no errors. Psychometric functions were fit to the data and “threshold ratios” were calculated as the ratio of tritan to protan or deutan thresholds. Based on the threshold ratios derived using an optimal fitting procedure that best categorized children in the discovery cohort, ColourSpot showed a sensitivity of 1.00 and a specificity of 0.97 for classifying CVD against the Ishihara Unlettered in the independent validation cohort. ColourSpot was also able to categorize individuals with ambiguous results on the Ishihara Unlettered. Compared to the Ishihara Unlettered, the Neitz Test generated an unacceptably high level of false positives. ColourSpot is an accurate test for CVD, which could be used by anyone to diagnose CVD in children from the start of their education. ColourSpot could also have a wider impact: its interface could be adapted for measuring other aspects of children’s visual performance.

Luego, el uso de TIC en las prácticas de enseñanza de la docente en contextos rurales y como parte de su desempeño en la modalidad domiciliaria; la conceptualización que ella propone para estas prácticas y los aportes que realiza, desde un hacer situado, a la noción de “aula ampliada”. Finalmente, cerramos este escrito con algunas reflexiones a modo de desafíos en la tarea de enseñar (y aprender) que consideramos resultan pertinentes también para otras modalidades educativas.
LO SEXUAL Y LA SEXUALIDAD EN EL PSICOANÁLISIS DE JEAN LAPLANCHE
Authors: Medina Martínez Miguel Ángel
Published: August 2021

Actualmente, mucho se ha escrito sobre la sexualidad desde distintas perspectivas que ofrecen la anatomía, la fisiología y, ahora, la sexología. Este texto aborda una serie de precisiones en torno a las nociones de lo sexual y la sexualidad desde el pensamiento freudiano, a partir de la relectura y desarrollos que, a lo largo de su obra, hiciera el psicoanalista francés Jean Laplanche. Contrariamente a lo que comúnmente se piensa desde las ciencias naturales, lo sexual no puede seguir siendo restringido exclusivamente a la sexualidad genital o coital, y tampoco está determinada por lo biológico sino por lo psíquico-cultural, entendida como todo aquello que tiene que ver con el placer.
Combined 5-Fluorouracil and Low Molecular Weight Heparin for the Prevention of Postoperative Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy in Patients with Retinal Detachment
Authors:   The Second People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Chen Chen , Chen Peng , Liu Xia , Li Hua
Published: August 2021

Review question / Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative infusion of combined 5-fluorouracil and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for the prevention of postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy in patients with retinal detachment. Condition being studied: Postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the primary cause of failure of retinal reattachment surgery. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) inhibits the proliferation of fibroblasts, and suppresses collagen contraction. On the other hand, heparin reduces fibrin exudation, and inhibits the adhesion and migration of retinal pigment epithelial cells. We conduct this comprehensive literature search and meta-analysis to address whether intraoperative infusion of combined 5-FU and LWMH improves the primary success rate of pars plana vitrectomy, as well as reduces postoperative PVR. Our study aims to provide clinical evidence for retinal surgeons concerning their choice of intraoperative medication.

Métodos: estudio observacional-descriptivo-transversal; con 138 personas sin tuberculosis de un centro penitenciario de Cali. Se realizó una encuesta validada por Ahumada y cols., para la medición del conocimiento, percepción del riesgo, estigma y variables sociodemográficas. Resultados: la población tenía 39±8,79 años, secundaria incompleta (50,72%) y no se identificaron con alguna etnia (66,67%). La mayoría identificó la TB como enfermedad pulmonar (76,1%) y escuchó de ella por primera vez en la cárcel (73,19%). El 94,20% indicó que la TB puede causar la muerte; 29,71% iría a sanidad si se encontrara un compañero con TB. Se encontró un nivel bajo de estigma (39,86%). Conclusiones: la investigación mostró conocimientos básicos sobre TB, siendo que el “voz a voz” un punto clave para la identificación de TB dentro del establecimiento; se reconoció la posibilidad de muerte a causa de TB, así como la posibilidad de evitarla. Se encontró un bajo nivel de estigma que puede estar asociado a los niveles de conocimiento encontrados sobre TB.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterium that is commonly causes of nosocomial infections, the most common site of infection and colonization is the lower respiratory tract. Although it is present more often in immunocompromised patients, the defense mechanism against infection with Acinetobacter baumanii remains incomplete elucidated. Among the virulence factors involved in infection with Acinetobacter baumanii are production and release of exopolysaccharide, and ability to biofilm formation in tissues. Understanding of virulence mechanisms is important for early initiation of treatment.

Cytomegalovirus infection is a major public health problem, because annually there are born increasingly more children with this infection. Numerous studies have shown that cytomegalovirus infection is an important cause of hearing loss. Cytomegalovirus infection specific symptoms present at birth are a strong predictor for hearing loss, even in populations with low maternal seroprevalence rate. The severity of deafness due to cytomegalovirus infection is variable. Pathophysiology of deafness caused by cytomegalovirus infection is not well known, the mechanisms possible involved being impaired endolymphatic structures, cytopathic effect of the virus and the host response to the inner ear structures. The relationship between viral load and increased likelihood of deafness in infants supports the role of antiviral therapy in decreasing the incidence and the severity of deafness caused by cytomegalovirus. We consider that monitoring children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection should include also hearing monitoring.

In our study, we followed young women with ASC-US and LG-SIL positive smear to confirm we used the correct treatment and to avoid excessive treatment. The study was made on women between 20 and 30 years. They were further divided in 2 groups: one between 20 and 25 and another between 25 and 30. From the data analysis we concluded: • ASC-US are 2 times more often than LG-SIL in the 20-25 year old group; • In the 25-30 year old group results showed a 1:1 ratio between ASC-US and LG-SIL. • Regarding HPV testing the infection is twice as often found in the 25-30 year old group than the 20-25 year old group. • In the younger group 74,46% are infected with HPV. In this group, the association of HPV with ASC-US is found in 54,2% of the cases while only 20,2% of the cases associate HPV and LG-SIL. We can conclude that lesser cytological modifications are usually associated with HPV infection in the 20-25 year old group. • In the older group 73,95% are infected with HPV. In this group the association of HPV with ASC-US is found in 27,9% of the cases while only 46,04% of the cases associate HPV and LG-SIL. We can conclude that in the 20-25 year old group HVP infection is usually associated with ASC-US 16,5% of all the cases The 25-30 year old group mostly associates HPV infection with LG-SIL, 32,03% of all the cases. Conclusion: HPV infection is found mostly associated with ASC-US in the 20-25 year old group while in the 25-30 year old group it is mostly associated with LG-SIL.

Biodiesel production is the reaction of raw oils with mixing and heating within catalyst and methanol. The raw oils usually come from vegetable oils and animal fats. Vegetable oils are a promising feedstock for biodiesel production since they are renewable in nature. Nevertheless, the physical properties of biodiesel pose some acute problems when used in an unmodified engine. It is important to diesel and biodiesels because it impacts components such as the fuel pump. Therefore, this paper intends to investigate the properties of biodiesel samples in terms of viscosity, density, flash point and acid values at different bio lipids and different mixing time. The evaluation is carried out on the three types of biodiesels: crude oil, crude palm oil, corn oil, and waste cooking oil. Methanol was chosen over the others for the transesterification process because it was cheaper. The esterification process, which reduces the amount of free fatty acids in the crude oil, will be performed with the help of an acid catalyst. Alkaline catalysts, in contrast, are used for the transesterification process. The comparison of all the samples shows that CPO is the better biodiesel than the other due to the physical properties of kinematic viscosity, density and flashpoint.
Design Optimization of Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine
Authors: Ahmed M. Elsayed
Published: August 2021

The wind turbine power decreases at low wind speed. A flanged diffuser plays a role of a device for collecting and accelerating the approaching wind, and thus the optimization of the diffuser shape presents an important way to enhance the wind turbine power. In this work, a numerical parametric study was conducted on the diffuser to obtain the initial optimum form of flanged diffuser. Then, the Simplex algorithm is used to obtain the optimal diffuser shape starting from the obtained initial shape. Finally, the obtained optimum diffuser shape is used with conventional wind turbine blade. The diffuser shape is defined by four variables: open angle, flange height, centerbody length, and flange angle. The numerical simulation of flanged diffuser is carried out using the “CFDRC package. The results indicated that, the optimum diffuser shape can be obtained using simplex algorithm which maximizes the entrance average velocity to reach 1.77 times wind speed. The power augmented by a factor about 2.76:5.26 of a selected small wind turbine using the obtained diffuser shape compared to that without diffuser.

INTRODUÇÃO: O conhecimento sobre a classificação molecular do câncer de mama tem se tornado cada vez mais importante para definição de protocolos de tratamento, principalmente terapias alvo direcionadas. OBJETIVO: Descrever por meio da literatura a prevalência dos subtipos moleculares do câncer de mama, e sua relação com o prognóstico de indivíduos diagnosticados com esses tumores. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativada literatura que incluiu artigos que investigaram os principais subtipos moleculares do câncer de mama (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2/neu e Basa-like), e excluiu as publicações que investigaram apenas a expressão de marcadores moleculares como por exemplo p53 e HER2, ou que fizeram apenas a classificação histopatológica, sem considerar a classificação molecular para câncer de mama. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÕES: Um total de 29,850casos de câncer de mama em mulheres, obteve o resultado do subtipo da classificação molecular, o mais prevalente foi o luminal A (51,3%%), seguido do luminal B (18%), HER2 (7,9%), basa-like (7,1%), a prevalência do triplo-negativo também foi investigada com (5,5%). O luminal A oferece o melhor prognóstico de todos os subtipos, os tumores luminais B são menos favoráveis do que os tumores luminais A, mas ainda menos agressivos do que os tumores do tipo basal. CONCLUSÃO: O luminal A continua sendo o subtipo molecular mais prevalente para o câncer de mama. O conhecimento sobre as classes moleculares do câncer de mama aumentou nos últimos anos, porém ainda existem dúvidas e dilemas que permanecem sem resposta e que são importantes para estudos futuros.Palavras-chaves: Câncer de mama.
