Authors: Araujo-Bilmonte Elking , Huertas-Tulcanaza Liceth , Párraga-Stead Kenny
Published: June 2020

El presente documento nace de la desventaja encontrada en la producción científica de Ecuador con respecto a otros países de Latinoamérica. El objetivo de esta investigación es reflexionar sobre la importancia de la producción científica para el desarrollo social, educativo y científico del Ecuador. La metodología usada en esta investigación es de carácter inductiva – deductiva y se apoya en la investigación bibliográfica utilizando el método hermenéutico. Se presentan los resultados obtenidos en producción científica de la plataforma Web of Science de los períodos 2006 – 2008 y 2015 – 2020 en Latinoamérica. Se toman como referencia estos períodos para contrastar los registros de producción científica previos a la reforma universitaria en Ecuador en el 2008 con los actuales. De entre los resultados, se determina un incremento en la producción científica de Ecuador en el último período. Ecuador se encuentra en el puesto 7 de los 20 países analizados. Se concluye que Ecuador muestra un crecimiento en la producción científica al igual que los otros países. Sin embargo, aún existe una diferencia significativa con respecto a: Brasil, México, Argentina, Chile y Colombia. A partir del año 2008, se estableció un proceso de evaluación de las instituciones de educación superior que ha influido positivamente en la producción científica de Ecuador. Además, estas cifras se pueden mejorar cambiando el paradigma educativo para que la escritura científica sea tomada como un eje transversal desde los primeros años de educación formal.

Authors: Quirola-Larrea Martha , Jaramillo-Jaramillo Cecilia
Published: June 2020

La construcción de la sexualidad infantil se halla invisibilizada en la sociedad.  Las personas adultas consideran que los niños y niñas infantes son seres asexuados y subsisten los tabúes alrededor de la sexualidad humana.  Ocultar el tema mantendrá la ignorancia sobre la sexualidad infantil. La investigación sobre la sexualidad generalmente ha estado dirigida hacia la adolescencia como supuesta etapa en la que la sexualidad aparece en el desarrollo humano. El objetivo es verificar si mediante un proceso formativo cambian las formas en cómo los padres/madres de familia procuran formación e información sobre la sexualidad a sus hijos e hijas. Se implementó un programa de sexualidad infantil con representantes legales de un Centro de Desarrollo Integral para la Primera Infancia de la ciudad de Quito. Esta investigación es de tipo cuasi experimental. Se aplicaron encuestas de entrada y salida a los actores directos e indirectos del programa, divididos en grupos experimental y de control. La conclusión final es que el programa tuvo un impacto significativo en el cambio de perspectiva de los padres/madres de familia. Incluye las prácticas de diversas posibilidades de educación sexual con sus hijos e hijas. De igual forma, se presenta la posibilidad de educar a progenitores en los ámbitos escolar y comunitario para mejorar la calidad de vida y de gestión familiar.

Del narratore e di altre figure nel ciclo di Nane Oca
Authors: Morbiato Luciano
Published: June 2020

The reading of the four novels that constitute the cycle of Nane Oca (1992-2019) allows to understand the fusion of story and tale realised by Giuliano Scabia: the fabulous adventures of the main character, Giovanni, alternate with the iteration of the opening scene where (through the character of Guido il Puliero) the process of narration starts. Listeners (and, in perspective, readers) join the narrator and gradually become collective authors, in the tradition of the folk storytelling.
O lugar de Paulo Freire na formação e nos saberes dos professores
Authors: Tatiana Pinheiro de Assis Pontes  , Cristiano Amaral Garboggini DI Giorgi
Published: June 2020

Este estudo partiu da problemática concernente ao lugar ocupado por Paulo Freire nos referenciais teóricos de professores de educação básica de escolas públicas brasileiras. Consideramos os estudos sobre Paulo Freire de suma importância nos processos formativos dos professores, sobretudo, para a construção da identidade profissional e para a formação de educadores progressistas, em favor da construção de uma escola democrática. Este estudo se curvou ao objetivo central de analisar o que os professores da atualidade sabem sobre o referido autor, reconhecendo a formação docente como espaço fundamental para a produção do referencial teórico e para a construção dos saberes docentes. A pesquisa empírica foi realizada em um município do interior paulista e contou com a participação de vinte professores atuantes em escolas públicas, municipais e estaduais, de educação básica, nos seguintes segmentos de ensino: Educação Infantil, Ensino Fundamental e Ensino Médio. A metodologia da pesquisa pautou-se na abordagem qualitativa, em face das possibilidades de desenvolvimento de ações fundamentadas na reflexão e no diálogo, sob as perspectivas freireanas. Os dados empíricos foram coletados por meio de questionário, com questões abertas e fechadas, e mediante realização de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas. Concluiu-se que há lacunas no âmbito da Gestão educacional e das Políticas Educacionais para a formação de professores, tanto na esfera inicial como na formação continuada. Defende-se que, para Paulo Freire ocupar o lugar/espaço de referência teórica e repercutir na construção dos saberes docentes é fundamental a implementação de políticas e de ações específicas no âmbito da formação de professores.
A invasão do smartphone na sala de aula – sobre a autoridade do professor, violência, o privado e o público no ensino.
Authors: Andreas Grushka Andreas Gruschka , Soares Zuin Antônio Alvaro
Published: June 2020

Resumo: Na sociedade atual, recrudescem, cada vez mais, as postagens de videos de alunos contra professores postados no YouTube. Gravados secretamente, tais videos registram imagens de professores em situações humilhantes e vexatórias, muitas das quais associadas à recusa do professor e da professora de permitir a presença de smartphones nas salas de aula. Diante desse contexto, têm-se, como objetivo nesse artigo, refletir sobre o declínio da autoridade do professor diante do uso massivo de smartphones por parte dos alunos. Sendo assim, foram analisados dois vídeos de grande repercussão mundial, cujas imagens foram registradas em escolas do Brasil e Portugal. Após a análise da relação entre as imagens e falas dos professores e alunos, conclui-se que, no primeiro vídeo, o professor assume o papel de herói de uma batalha que, para muitos estudantes, já estava perdida: ele age como uma espécie de exterminador que vence a disputa com o celular por meio de uma reação absolutamente enérgica. Já no segundo video, há uma espécie de falência da educação. Concomitantemente à recusa da devolução do smartphone ocorre a violação do tabu em relação à docente, uma vez que a destruição de sua autoridade se faz presente diante das agressões físicas e psicológicas que lhe são imputadas pela aluna.
A afetividade nos documentos oficiais da educação infantil: uma questão a ser explorada
Authors: Amorim Gabriela de Castro Loech , Ana Maria Gimenes Correa Calil
Published: June 2020

Este artigo, que trata da afetividade no espaço da Educação Infantil, utilizou-se do conceito de afetividade, bem como de documentos legais mandatórios ou de aspectos sugestivos acerca de ações e condutas a serem tomadas pelos órgãos e responsáveis pela primeira infância. Teve como objetivo apresentar e aclarar tais documentos, convidando oito professores de uma escola de Educação Infantil à reflexão sobre a dimensão afetiva abordada nas leis que regem e direcionam essa etapa da escolarização. Essa ação deu-se no cômputo de uma pesquisa-formação com duração de seis meses, a qual elegeu a teoria walloniana como fundamento ao conceito da afetividade e tomou como base a Constituição Federal (1988), o ECA (1990), a LDB (1996) e a BNCC (2017). Os resultados revelaram que os professores de Educação Infantil não apresentam grande interesse pelas leis que regem a primeira infância, todavia relatam que não existem muitas oportunidades, dentro do ambiente escolar, para que esses documentos sejam partilhados em formações. No que tange à concepção da afetividade, quanto ao desenvolvimento integral da criança, apesar de percebermos a intencionalidade dos documentos em trazer esse tema, somente com a BNCC (2017) a atenção para essa temática parece ter conquistado destaque junto aos professores que participaram da pesquisa

Published: June 2020

Shear and compressional wave velocities, coupled with other petrophysical data, are vital in determining the dynamic modules magnitude in geomechanical studies and hydrocarbon reservoir characterization. But, due to field practices and high running cost, shear wave velocity may not available in all wells. In this paper, a statistical multivariate regression method is presented to predict the shear wave velocity for Khasib formation - Amara oil fields located in South- East of Iraq using well log compressional wave velocity, neutron porosity and density. The accuracy of the proposed correlation have been compared to other correlations. The results show that, the presented model provides accurate estimates of shear wave velocity with correlation coefficient of about unity than other currently available methods.
Thermal Modeling of Solar Still Coupled with Heat Pipes and Experimental Validation
Authors: Kadhum Najim Abed , Jassim Najm Abid , Lateef Kamal Hussien
Published: June 2020

Water is the basis of the existence of all kinds of life, so obtaining it with good quality represents a challenge to human existence and development especially in the desert and remote cities because these areas contain small populations and water purification requires great materials and huge amounts of fossil fuels resulting pollution of the environment. Cheap and environmentally friendly desalination methods have been done by using solar distillations. Passive solar stills have low yields, so in this research, the problem is overcome by connecting four heat pipes which are installed on the parabolic concentrator reflector with passive solar still to increase the temperature of hot water to more than 90°C, as a result, the yield increases. An extensive theory is studied to manufacture two systems: the first consists of passive solar still has dimensions are 1000 mm × 500 mm and the glass cover tilted at the angle 33°. It is approximately equal to the latitude of the city of Baghdad [(Latitude: (33.34° N) Longitude:  (44.4° E)].  This gives 5.04 kg/m2.day, the second solar still which is associated with 4 heat pipes gives a water yield of about 7. 2 kg/m2.day. This means that the improvement in the daily production of distilled water is 50 % over the productivity of the passive solar still All results above are calculated when the depth of water is 1. 5 cm. In addition, heat balance for each part of the system is achieved and calculations of the performance of the solar still are done by using the program in the language of Matlab. All these results are compared with the experimental ones of different depths of water (1.5 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, and 4 cm) which are taken from the experimental part to ensure the system reliability at different weather conditions in Baghdad throughout the year and to give a good approach. The system associated with heat pipes gives promising results and can be widely used for its abundant productivity and durability of its components. (TDS) and (pH) value are carried out in the laboratory and it is found that water is safe and pure for drinking.
Biogeographiс approaches to ecological mapping
Authors: Kotova T. V. , Ogureeva G. N.
Published: June 2020

The means for improving of the information capacity of ecological maps have been discussed with special accent on zoocomponent usually underestimated. The concept of ecoregion has been applicated in the course of work on the new map "Bioms of Russia" (S 1 : 8 000 000). Three levels of mapping units has been proposed: 1) zono- and orobioms, 2) ecoregions, 3) regional bioms. The first one is based upon the dominance of one or several zonal vegetation types, zoocomponent being characterized by the share of different vertebrate classes in species diversity of animal population. The concept of ecoregion reflects provincial features of subdivisions such as formation diversity, ecological-coenotic spectra of plants, trophic-demension groups, genera diversity of animal population, presence of endemic species and relic communities. Regional biom (main mapping unit) is characterized by the dominating growth forms, coenotical composition of plant formations and by the original combinations of types of territorial animal groupings with the enumeration of prevailing types and their species composition.
Towards empathetic autism research: Developing an autism-specific Research Passport
Authors: Ashworth Maria , Crane Laura , Steward Robyn , Bovis Melissa , Pellicano Liz
Published: June 2020

Autistic adults sometimes report negative experiences of research participation. People have developed passports or toolkits in other areas where community members report dissatisfaction (e.g., healthcare, criminal justice). We created a Research Passport that autism researchers and autistic adults could use to support the inclusion of autistic adults as research participants. We designed and developed the Research Passport via an iterative design process. First, we gathered ideas for a Research Passport via focus groups with autistic adults without an intellectual disability (ID) (n=9) and autism researchers (n=6; one of whom was autistic). We found that the Research Passport (1) was a useful idea, but not a panacea for all issues in autism research, (2) needed to be universal and flexible, and (3) could have a broad remit (e.g., to record scores on commonly used standardized tasks that could, with permission, be shared with different researchers). Next, we conducted a preliminary evaluation of a prototype Research Passport via usability testing in three ongoing research projects. Nine autistic participants without an ID provided feedback on the Research Passport (via a survey), as did three non-autistic researchers (via interviews). We found that the Research Passport: (1) promoted positive participant-researcher relationships, (2) provided a structure and framework to support existing practices, and (3) needed to be adapted slightly to facilitate usability and manage expectations. Overall, the Research Passport was useful in promoting empathetic autism research. Further design and development of the Passport are warranted.
Ten Simple Rules for Starting (and Sustaining) an Academic Data Science Initiative
Authors: Parker Micaela , Burgess Arlyn , Bourne Philip
Published: June 2020

The past decade has seen an explosion of data science centers, institutes, and programs appearing across the U.S. as universities increasingly recognize the importance and promise of data science to university research and education. It has been, and continues to be, an exciting time. But there are systemic challenges faced by these initiatives in the context of the higher education system. Some, but not all, of these challenges center around funding. Campuses fortunate enough to receive initial funding, often as a result of philanthropy or private sector investment, have some measure of sustainability, especially if these funds are in the form of an endowment. However, at most smaller colleges and universities, or those without a lucrative alumnus or local industry investor, just getting started with very limited funding can be daunting. And yet, every school is facing the reality that to truly prepare their student body for the expectations of 21st century employers, they must find a way to incorporate core critical thinking and data-intensive skills into nearly every discipline. This call to action challenges traditional disciplinary silos and begs for new models of higher education. As data science initiatives attempt to breakdown old barriers, they each face a unique set of challenges due to their campus’ political, financial, and structural environments. Our consideration of these challenges and those we have faced directly ourselves lead us to recognize a set of global commonalities. We capture them here in the familiar Ten Simple Rules (TSR) format for simplicity, recognizing much more could be said.

The Role of Executive Function in Shaping Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Rmus Milena , McDougle Samuel , Collins Anne
Published: June 2020

Reinforcement learning (RL) models have advanced our understanding of how animals learn and make decisions, and how the brain supports some aspects of learning. However, the neural computations that are explained by RL algorithms fall short of explaining many sophisticated aspects of human decision making, including the generalization of learned information, one-shot learning, and the synthesis of task information in complex environments. Instead, these aspects of instrumental behavior are assumed to be supported by the brain’s executive functions (EF). We review recent findings that highlight the importance of EF in learning. Specifically, we advance the theory that EF sets the stage for canonical RL computations in the brain, providing inputs that broaden their flexibility and applicability. Our theory has important implications for how to interpret RL computations in the brain and behavior.
A short-form version of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale: Initial development of the IUS-5
Authors: Bottesi Gioia , Mawn Lauren , Nogueira-Arjona Raquel , Romero Sanchiz Pablo , Simou Meropi , Simos Gregoris , Tiplady Ashley , Freeston Mark H
Published: June 2020

Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is an individual´s "tendency to be bothered or upset by the (as yet) unknown elements of a situation, whether the possible outcome is negative or not." This construct, originally proposed in the context of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), is now considered a transdiagnostic construct. The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS; Freeston, Rhéaume, Letarte, Dugas, & Ladouceur, 1994) has been the gold standard measure for IU, both the original 27-item and the 12-item (IUS-12; Carleton, Norton, & Asmundson, 2007) versions. The present study, conducted in the context of a broader research project about IU and the COVID-pandemic by the UNiCORN team, aims to develop an even shorter version of the IUS, both psychometrically sound and quicker to administer, which would increase its utility in research studies with an elevated number of measures. Initial analyses conducted in currently available data from four countries (UK, Italy, Spain and Greece) suggest that it is possible to reduce the IUS-12 to 5 items, including two items measuring desire for predictability, one item assessing uncertainty paralysis, and two items describing aversiveness of uncertainty. The five-item version of the questionnaire (IUS-5) showed adequate internal consistency across languages (English, Italian, Spanish, Greek) and across situations (e.g., before and during COVID-19), and its total score is highly correlated with the total score of the IUS-12. Overall, preliminary results suggest that the IUS-5 may represent a valid and reliable measure of IU to be used across samples, languages, and countries.
Bayesian confidence in optimal decisions
Authors: Calder-Travis Joshua Michael , Charles Lucie , Bogacz Rafal , Yeung Nick
Published: June 2020

The optimal way to make decisions in many circumstances is to track the difference in evidence collected in favour of the options. The drift diffusion model (DDM) implements this approach, and provides an excellent account of decisions and response times. However, existing DDM-based models of confidence exhibit certain deficits, and many theories of confidence have used alternative, non-optimal models of decisions. Motivated by the historical success of the DDM, we ask whether simple extensions to this framework might allow it to better account for confidence. Motivated by the idea that the brain will not duplicate representations of evidence, in all model variants decisions and confidence are based on the same evidence accumulation process. We compare the models to benchmark results, and successfully apply 4 qualitative tests concerning the relationships between confidence, evidence, and time, in a new preregistered study. Using computationally cheap expressions to model confidence on a trial-by-trial basis, we find that a subset of model variants also provide a very good to excellent account of precise quantitative effects observed in confidence data. Specifically, our results favour the hypothesis that confidence reflects the strength of accumulated evidence penalised by the time taken to reach the decision (Bayesian readout), with the penalty applied not perfectly calibrated to the specific task context. These results suggest there is no need to abandon the DDM or single accumulator models to successfully account for confidence reports.

Momentary emotional experiences constitute a key ingredient of psychological wellbeing. Here, we examine the role of emotional experiences for wellbeing during the prolonged stress of the COVID-19 pandemic. Study 1 compared the relative importance of emotional experiences for wellbeing before versus during the pandemic using pre-registered analyses with representative samples. Negative emotional experiences were more detrimental and positive emotional experiences less protective for wellbeing during the pandemic. Study 2 examined the role of specific emotional experiences for wellbeing during the pandemic using survey data from 24,221 participants in 51 countries. Momentary feelings of calm, hope, anxiety, loneliness, and sadness were, across countries, central to wellbeing. These results were replicated in pre-registered studies with representative samples and in a diary study. These findings highlight the particular role of momentary emotional experiences for wellbeing during prolonged stress, and point to specific types of momentary emotional experiences as prime candidates for wellbeing interventions.
Overprecision increases subsequent surprise
Authors: Moore Don A , Schatz Derek
Published: June 2020

Overconfident people should be surprised that they are so often wrong. Are they? Three studies examined the relationship between confidence and surprise in order to shed light on the psychology of overprecision in judgment. Participants reported ex-ante confidence in their beliefs, and after receiving accuracy feedback, they then reported ex-post surprise. Results show that more ex-ante confidence produces less ex-post surprise for correct answers; this relationship reverses for incorrect answers. However, this sensible pattern only holds for some measures of confidence; it fails for confidence-interval measures. The results can help explain the robust durability of overprecision in judgment.
‘Other’ gender in India: An Analysis of 2011 Census Data
Authors: Mandal Chaitali , Debnath Paramita
Published: June 2020

In spite of a lot of human rights protection given to the ‘other-gender’ population worldwide, they still have been a deserted community who faces a significant occupational challenge around the world. In India, the other-gender community encompasses persons with a variety of gender identities, forming a culturally unique gender group. Although they have always remained an integral part of the society from the very ancient time, unfortunately, their existence is grappling with abject poverty, illiteracy, hatred, and mockery. Such stigmatisation and segregation from society have left them to compromise with the employment opportunities available. It is important to identify the gap between the other-gender population and the general population in the field of literacy and workforce participation. This paper uses the data on other-gender published by the Census of India for the first time. According to the Indian Census 2011, there is around 4.9 lakh other-gender population in the country. The data reveal that other-gender have lower levels of literacy and labour force participation compared with the general population. Our attempt is here to conceptualise the findings along with some discussion on the data limitations.

In the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, households throughout the world have to cope with negative shocks, either because of the disease or the various mitigation strategies that have caused massive unemployment and financial insecurity. Previous research has shown that negative shocks impair cognitive function and change risk, time and social preferences. In this study, we analyze the results of a longitudinal multi-country survey conducted in Italy (N=1,652), Spain (N=1,660) and the United Kingdom (N=1,578). We measure cognitive function using the Cognitive Reflection Test and preferences traits using an experimentally validated set of questions to assess the differences between people exposed to a shock compared to the rest of the sample. We measure four possible types of shocks: labor market shock, health shock, occurrence of stressful events, and mental health shock. Additionally, we randomly assign participants to groups with either a recall of negative events (more specifically, a mild reinforcement of stress or of fear/anxiety), or to a control group (to recall neutral or joyful memories), in order to assess whether or not stress and negative emotions drive a change in preferences.Results show that people affected by shocks performed worse in terms of cognitive functioning, are more risk loving, and are more prone to punish others (negative reciprocity). Data do not support the hypotheses that the result is driven by stress or by negative emotions.
Disparate impact pandemic framing decreases public concern for health consequences
Authors: Yildirim Ugur
Published: June 2020

It is known that the new coronavirus (COVID-19) is disproportionately affecting the elderly, those with underlying medical conditions, and the poor. What is the effect of informing the public about these inequalities on people’s perceptions of threat and their sensitivity to the outbreak’s human toll? This study answers this question using a novel survey experiment and finds that emphasis on the unequal aspect of the pandemic, especially as it relates to the elderly and those with medical conditions, could be causing the public to become less concerned about the outbreak and its human toll. Discussion situates this finding in the literature on scientific communication and persuasion and explains why language that emphasizes the impact of the virus on all of us—rather than singling out certain groups—could be more effective in increasing caution among the general public and make them take the situation more seriously.
