Tendo em vista a importância da cultura da palma forrageira como alternativa de segurança alimentar para pecuária da região semiárida brasileira, este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a resposta da palma Opuntia spp, à adubação nitrogenada e potássica. O experimento teve início em dezembro de 2021 na Estação experimental do INSA, em Campina Grande/PB, em sistema de sequeiro, O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, em parcelas subdivididas, com 13 tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos das parcelas foram dispostos conforme a matriz Plan Puebla III modificada, que consistiu na combinação de cinco doses de N (7,8; 46,8; 78; 109 e 148 kg ha-1), na forma de ureia, cinco doses de K (30; 180; 300; 420 e 570 kg ha-1), na forma de cloreto de potássio, e um controle sem adubação. As subparcelas foram formadas pela presença e ausência de calcário. Foram avaliados os dois primeiros anos de cultivo, onde constatou-se que a calagem foi predominante para elevar o número de cladódios e a produtividade de matéria verde, tanto no primeiro quanto no segundo ano de cultivo, provavelmente pelo aporte de Ca e Mg presentes no calcário, aumentando a CTC do solo e neutralizando o Al+3 presente no solo.  Entretanto a calagem só influenciou a dinâmica dos adubos nitrogenado e potássico no desenvolvimento da palma a partir do segundo ano. O N foi o nutriente que mais promoveu acúmulo de matéria seca na palma.

Published: January 2025

O presente Projeto Integrador visa a elaboração de atividades que se utilizem de material didático que possa facilitar a inclusão de estudantes com Síndrome de Down e Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) no ensino de matemática. Utilizando-se do geoplano, o foco é desenvolver, nos estudantes selecionados para a atividade, as habilidades de raciocínio lógico e percepção espacial de forma lúdica. Para isso, o presente projeto foi baseado no método da pesquisa-ação e é focado na instituição de ensino EMEF SUD MENNUCCI, local onde a atividade proposta e o material didático escolhidos serão implementados. Foi selecionada tal instituição de ensino pois é considerada uma referência na região quando o assunto é inclusão de estudantes com algum tipo de deficiência, bem como integrantes do grupo do Projeto Integrador estão envolvidos ativamente no trabalho pedagógico da instituição. A pesquisa realizada tem como intuito ser uma referência inicial e não universal, já que se pauta na aplicação direta das atividades em estudantes específicos (uma com Síndrome de Down e outra com TEA). Assim, conclui-se que a educação inclusiva é uma preocupação que deve estar entre as prioridades dos educadores e instituições de educação. Por isso, o presente projeto visa ser uma porta de entrada para a discussão acerca do tema e proporcionar uma atividade que tenha como fim a inclusão.
Emprego no Maranhão: uma interpretação sobre as transformações socioeconômicas observadas entre 2012 e 2022
Authors: Ferreira Lucas de Queiroz , Brito Alexsandro Sousa
Published: January 2025

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar as principais transformações socioeconômicas no mercado de trabalho do Maranhão entre 2012.1 e 2022.4, com base em observações trimestrais. Para isso, busca responder às seguintes questões: a) Quais as principais mudanças e padrões na dinâmica do emprego? b) Qual o desempenho dos principais indicadores de emprego no período? e c) Quais fatores influenciam o emprego no Maranhão? Adotou-se uma abordagem quantitativa-descritiva, com análise de dados secundários da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua (PNADc), do IBGE, e pesquisa bibliográfica. As variáveis analisadas incluíram taxa de desocupação, desalento, participação na força de trabalho, informalidade, composição da força de trabalho, participação feminina e desigualdade salarial de gênero no setor privado. Os resultados indicam que a taxa de desocupação não reflete adequadamente a realidade maranhense, pois trabalhadores tendem a migrar para a inatividade em vez de permanecer desocupados, o que é evidenciado pela taxa de participação e pelo desalento. Observou-se também que a melhora relativa no rendimento das mulheres ocorre apenas quando há queda na média salarial geral do setor privado. Além disso, verificou-se uma redução da informalidade, embora os índices permaneçam elevados. Fatores como a falta de investimentos, crises econômicas, origem histórica e desafios estruturais regionais contribuíram para um cenário desfavorável ao emprego e para a falta de avanços estruturais no mercado de trabalho.
A interdisciplinaridade como princípio curricular: reflexões críticas sobre a educação e o trabalho no contexto brasileiro contemporâneo
Authors: Pinto Conceição de Maria Pereira Serra , Sousa Karla Cristina Silva , Prazeres Valdenice de Araújo
Published: January 2025

O artigo discute o princípio da interdisciplinaridade como eixo estruturante das reformas curriculares no Ensino Médio brasileiro, conforme estabelecido pela LDBEN nº 9.394/96 e outros documentos regulatórios, como o Parecer CEB/CNE nº 15/98 e a Resolução CEB/CNE nº 03/98. Contextualiza-se historicamente a adoção do princípio no cenário de reestruturação produtiva e globalização econômica, ressaltando o papel estratégico da educação na formação de indivíduos aptos a atender às demandas do mercado de trabalho contemporâneo. Como metodologia utilizamos a revisão bibliográfica dos dispositivos legais e revisão da literatura educacional que contribuíram para a análise histórica e crítica do discurso presente nos documentos legais. A interdisciplinaridade é analisada com base em autores como Fazenda (1991), que enfatiza a complexidade conceitual do termo, e Kuenzer (2001a, 2001b), que relaciona sua adoção às mudanças no mundo do trabalho. Etges (1995) discute sua aplicação instrumental no ensino, enquanto Lopes (1999, 2002) alerta para seu potencial redução a um discurso alinhado às demandas do mercado. O texto também recorre a Bernstein (1998) para examinar a recontextualização curricular e a Apple (1993) para problematizar as relações de poder inerentes ao conhecimento oficial. Conclui-se que a interdisciplinaridade, embora potencialmente transformadora, pode ser limitada quando instrumentalizada para reforçar estruturas conservadoras. Para alcançar uma efetiva democratização da educação, é necessário superar a visão utilitarista e tecnicista, promovendo um currículo que integre conhecimento, cidadania e transformação social.

Published: January 2025

Este estudo analisa as causas, fatores de risco e impactos da depressão pós-parto no desenvolvimento infantil. O problema que motivou a pesquisa é a alta prevalência dessa condição e seus efeitos potenciais na saúde mental e física do bebê. O objetivo principal é entender como a depressão pós-parto afeta o vínculo afetivo entre mãe e filho, o desenvolvimento cognitivo e emocional do bebê, e os fatores de risco que contribuem para a condição. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica em bases de dados como PubMed e Scielo, cobrindo estudos de 2012 a 2022. Os resultados indicam que a depressão pós-parto está associada a múltiplos fatores, como mudanças hormonais e falta de suporte social, e pode prejudicar o desenvolvimento saudável da criança. A conclusão reforça a importância de intervenções precoces para mitigar esses impactos e promover uma interação saudável entre mãe e filho.

A urtiga é uma planta encontrada em várias regiões do mundo, inclusive no Brasil, onde pode ser observada em abundância no sertão de Alagoas. Algumas indústrias farmacêuticas utilizam seu extrato na produção de fármacos, graças à sua rica variedade de substâncias.  O objetivo desse trabalho, foi utilizar o extrato de urtiga como um potencial agente nutritivo, capaz de estimular o crescimento da cultura do milho. A metodologia utilizada foi, inicialmente, relizando o plantio das parcelas de milho, as quais foram borrifados durante 75 dias; daí foi avaliado a parte aérea por meio de medidas de diâmetro e altura, utilizando o paquímetro.  Foi verificado que na avaliação do diâmetro da planta, no período de 15 dias, as melhores doses estiveram entre 200 a 800g, e os demais dias, a melhor dose foi a de 200g.  Para a variável altura, no período de 15 dias a melhor dose foi a de 600 g, porém não divergiu estatisticamente dos resultados apresentados aos 30 dias, onde as melhores doses apresentadas foram de 200 a 600g. Em relação aos 45, 60 e 75 dias a melhor dose foi de 200g de urtiga. Desta forma, conclui-se que ao utilizar o extrato de urtiga a partir da dose 200g, causou uma redução, decréscimo do diâmetro e da parte aérea da planta.
A usucapião de herança vacante diante da imprescritibilidade dos bens públicos
Authors: Thomaz Pedro Henrique da Silva , Silva Rafael Cândido da
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo científico tem como objetivo analisar a possibilidade de aquisição de bens declarados vacantes por meio da usucapião, levando em consideração a aplicação do princípio da saisine e a imprescritibilidade dos bens públicos. O princípio da saisine estabelece que os bens do falecido são automaticamente transferidos aos herdeiros no momento da abertura da sucessão, sem a necessidade de formalidade. No entanto, quando se trata de bens vacantes, esses são transmitidos ao Estado e, por sua natureza, qualificam-se como bens públicos, o que, em princípio, tornaria impossível sua aquisição por usucapião. Contudo, durante o processo de declaração de vacância, é possível que a herança jacente, que ainda não foi destinada a herdeiros, seja adquirida por usucapião, desde que atendidos os requisitos legais. Para esclarecer essa questão, é necessário um estudo detalhado dos institutos jurídicos envolvidos, analisando-os à luz da legislação vigente, da doutrina especializada e da jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça.
De l’évidence à l’évidement. Trajectoire de l’image poétique dans l’œuvre de Roger Gilbert-Lecomte
Authors: Bouquet Corentin
Published: January 2025

La pensée de Roger Gilbert‑Lecomte (1907-1943), poète du Grand Jeu, est entièrement tournée vers le sentiment d’évidence où ce qui est appréhendé par les sens s’impose à l’esprit comme immédiatement vrai, signalant dans une opération hallucinatoire et transcendantale la contenance du réel. À partir du négatif de la signification, l’image poétique est capable de représenter en son creux le monde comme instance supérieure de la conscience. À l’échelle du poème, cette incarnation éminente de l’univers est sensible à travers ce que Laurent Jenny développe sous la notion de figural, qui étend le champ représentationnel du mot par l’hésitation sémantique qu’elle induit. Cette approche renouvelée du matériau poétique nous amène à reconsidérer la performativité du poème. En revenant à son origine, la parole poétique contribue à une transformation sensible du monde en l’inscrivant dans une dynamique beaucoup plus large où s’établissent des passerelles signifiantes entre des réalités éloignées. De là l’élaboration d’une rhétorique qui, à partir d’un état analogue à l’automatisme surréaliste, joue sur la ressemblance sonore des constituants pour unir leurs différences sémantiques dans un plan renouvelé de la représentation : l’alternance entre paronomase et antanaclase relance l’image depuis un réservoir de formes dans une opération de distinction qui dépasse le cadre énonciatif initial.
Le discours judiciaire et l’éloquence épidictique ou les matériaux de la représentation romanesque chez Édouard Glissant
Authors: Rhimi Mohamed Lamine
Published: January 2025

Dans cette contribution, nous proposons que les visées respectives des genres oratoires, dont le télescopage fonctionne à l’instar du mécanisme mathématique d’une théorie des ensembles, sont à la base de la dimension argumentative et de la portée pragmatique de la rhétorique qui était la représentation romanesque de Glissant. En somme, le réquisitoire enflammé que l’écrivain dresse, dans son œuvre romanesque, à l’encontre des oppresseurs, est indissociablement lié au plaidoyer qu’il entreprend pour défendre la cause et la culture antillaises, et ce, en exhortant les Antillais à recouvrer leur mémoire historique et à prendre leur destin en main. Nous avons tenté ainsi de rendre compte de ce qui, au premier chef, décide de la poétique, de l’esthétique et de la politique procédant de la représentation romanesque glissantienne. C’est justement dans cette perspective que notre investigation rhétorique a repris la question de l’intention poétique glissantienne, en la rattachant aux genres oratoires et la traitant à la lueur de leurs visées respectives. La représentation romanesque se trouve en effet enrichie de l’impulsion judiciaire et de l’éloquence épidictique pour permettre aux Antillais d’embrasser leur passé et de magnifier leur insularité.
Représentations de la Grande Guerre en Équateur : entre fascination et distance
Authors: Lenoël Élodie
Published: January 2025

Premier événement guerrier à connaître une circulation planétaire presque immédiate, la Première Guerre mondiale et ses représentations sont présentes y compris jusque dans des endroits habituellement à l’écart de l’actualité internationale. Cette étude de cas s’intéresse à l’Équateur et aux représentations de cette guerre qui y sont présentes. Certaines images produites en Europe, textes ou photographies, parviennent jusqu'au petit pays andin et sont le fruit de circulations transatlantiques dynamiques. Des représentations originales apparaissent également au sein même de l’espace récepteur. Artistes et intellectuels équatoriens produisent des représentations sur la Grande Guerre, qui reflètent différentes modalités de réception et d’interprétation du conflit. De la fascination au rejet, ces représentations influencent à leur tour les relations culturelles internationales du pays et invitent notamment les intellectuels à critiquer l’affrontement en cours pour se détacher des modèles européens.
Semiotic Perspectives on Cultural Appropriation in the Music Industry
Authors: Stanić Lana
Published: January 2025

Le but de ces recherches est d'examiner le phénomène de l'appropriation culturelle dans l'industrie musicale dans le contexte de la sémiotique culturelle (J. Lotman, 2019; R. Barthes, 1967). Le présent travail examinera les significations symboliques associées à l'image projetée par les artistes musicaux. Compte tenu de la complexité du problème, on utilisera une approche sémiotique multidisciplinaire. On analysera des symboles, des aspects vestimentaires et des gestes reconnus comme étant des expressions culturellement appropriées de l'image que s’en fait l'artiste en question. Étant donné la rareté de recherches existantes sur l'appropriation culturelle au niveau de l'industrie musicale, nous postulons que la sémiotique culturelle est à même de fournir un aperçu sur les origines et les divers impacts de l'appropriation culturelle (Lenard et Balint, 2019), en rapport avec l'image projetée des musiciens pop. La recherche sera d’ordre diachronique, avec des études de cas depuis les débuts de la musique pop (Elvis Presley) jusqu’à des musiciens contemporains (Eminem, Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande). On entend ainsi prouver l’incidence croissante du phénomène d’appropriation culturelle dans un laps de temps déterminé, conséquence d’une interaction accrue et de changements survenus dans la consommation de musique numérique. L'analyse sémiotique se concentrera sur des aspects vestimentaires (Barthes, 1967), des gestes (Morris, 1971), et sur certains signes physiques supplémentaires, caractéristiques de chaque artiste, susceptibles d’être rattachés à l'appropriation culturelle (Lenard et Balint, 2019; Mosley et Biernat, 2021). Chacun de ces aspects distinctifs fera l’objet d’une comparaison quant à sa fonction sémiotique au sein d’une culture autochtone donnée par rapport à la culture appropriée. Le symbolisme d’une telle fonction sera mis en relation sémiotique afin d’identifier les détournements de sens occasionnés par le transfert culturel. Les résultats de l'analyse sémiotique du présent travail mettront en lumière les éléments culturels en jeu, en lien avec la tendance croissante de l'appropriation culturelle au sein de l'industrie musicale, et démontreront comment l'appropriation culturelle est devenue une tendance perceptible et installée dans la musique contemporaine.
Position théorique et agentivité de Serge Lifar dans la représentation visuelle du ballet
Authors: Ehrbar Lorena
Published: January 2025

Cet article a pour but de cerner la position et l’agentivité du danseur, chorégraphe et Maître de ballet de l’Opéra de Paris Serge Lifar (1905-1986) dans la production et la circulation des œuvres représentant sa danse, et plus généralement celles consacrées au ballet. Son discours ainsi que ses collaborations artistiques – notamment avec le photographe Serge Lido et la dessinatrice Monique Lancelot –, insérés dans les réflexions de son temps sur la représentation de la danse, rendent compte des enjeux promotionnels, documentaires et techniques des œuvres produites sur la danse, principalement par la photographie, le dessin et le film. L’articulation du point de vue du danseur et de sa marge de manœuvre avec la perspective des artistes permet, au-delà du cas de Lifar, de souligner le caractère intermédial de ces réalisations.

Authors: Albuquerque Ana Luiza de Souza , Ferreira Anielle Pinto , Costa Ruth Silva Lima da
Published: January 2025

A mortalidade infantil é um indicador essencial da saúde pública, refletindo as condições de vida, o acesso aos serviços de saúde e a eficácia das políticas de assistência materno-infantil. Objetivo: analisar os fatores associados à mortalidade infantil em uma capital da Região Norte do Brasil. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, retrospectivo, exploratório, de abordagem quantitativa, com coleta de dados secundários, extraídos no site do Departamento de Informática do SUS – DATASUS, tabulados a partir do TABNET. Resultados: No período estudado, ocorreram em Rio Branco – Acre, 419 óbitos infantis, com aumento entre 2019 e 2021, seguido por uma redução em 2022 e um novo aumento em 2023. A maioria (48%) ocorreu nos primeiros seis dias de vida, com predominância em recém-nascidos do sexo masculino (58%) e da raça/cor parda (57%). O peso ao nascer se mostrou um fator crítico, com 43% dos óbitos ocorridos em recém-nascidos com menos de 1.500 g, destacando a vulnerabilidade desse grupo. Em relação às características maternas, a maioria (38%) das mães tinha entre 20 e 29 anos e 40% apresentava baixa escolaridade (8 a 11 anos). A maior parte dos óbitos (93%) ocorreu em ambiente hospitalar, com 41% dos casos resultantes de gestação entre 22 a 31 semanas e 53% dos partos cesáreos. As causas mais frequentes dos óbitos, de acordo com a CID-10, indicaram que 58,2% foram atribuídas a afecções originadas no período perinatal. Conclusão: Os dados revelam um padrão preocupante na mortalidade infantil na região, com aumento de óbitos em recém-nascidos vulneráveis e associação com baixa escolaridade materna. A necessidade de cuidados perinatais adequados e a redução da mortalidade infantil são fundamentais para melhoria desse quadro.

Published: January 2025

La finalidad de la presente investigación fue el análisis de la transición los servidores de la Policía Nacional de estado activo a pasivo, al acogerse a la jubilación, toda vez que tienen formación competencial integral, pues involucra competencias profesionales sustentadas en habilidades duras de atención y servicio ciudadano y blandas de pensamiento crítico, trabajo en equipo, orden y disciplina. Debido al grado de complejidad y especificidad de sus capacidades profesionales de orden público a las que se entregan gran parte de sus años de vida; al llegar a la jubilación, presentan problemas de iniciar un nuevo estilo de vida. En tal razón la presente investigación se abordó desde la orientación epistemológica de la Teoría de la Transcomplejidad, con enfoque cualitativo. Los sujetos de estudio fueron 10 funcionarios Policiales a quienes se les aplicó una entrevista mediante técnicas de saturación, descripción, contraste y triangulación; sustentando de esta manera el análisis de contenido en el llamado contexto generativo. Los resultados revelaron que el proceso de desvinculación de los sujetos de estudio no es amigable y que el área de talento humano, no realiza acciones para romper el estereotipo de activo a pasivo, por un nuevo esquema de activo a activo. Toda vez que al desvincularse son personas productivas, con alta experiencia que están en la capacidad de generar nuevas fuentes de empleo, por lo que el departamento mencionado debe asumir la responsabilidad de desarrollar en ellos competencias de emprendurismo en empresas privadas, contabilidad empresarial, tributación y liderazgo para la creación de negocios
Reading Performance Level of Selected College Freshmen : Basis for Classroom Intervention Strategies in Reading Instruction
Authors: Calub Cecilia L.
Published: January 2025

This paper aimed to determine the reading performance level of college students in word recognition, speed, and comprehension. Using the Individual Reading Inventory (IRI) to gather the needed data, it also analyzed the miscues the students commonly committed while reading the text orally. The respondents came from two (2) evening classes taking English 1 (Study and Thinking Skills) taught by the teacher - researcher, One hundred percent (100%) in each class was taken purposively as respondents.
 
The findings revealed that the students’ reading performance level in word recognition was instructional; in speed, average; and in comprehension, instructional, and their overall reading performance level instructional. The most commonly committed miscue was mispronunciation and the least committed refusal to pronounce. Causes of oral miscues were first language interference , lack of interest in English reading, anxiety, carelessness, semantic unfamiliarity, uncertainty in the pronunciation of the words, pauses, nervousness, poor eyesight, and text type. Intervention strategies in reading which could be applied in the classroom were short (10 to 20 minutes), intensive activities /sessions with one student or with a small group. The study recommended that the IRI be used to assess students’ reading performance in word recognition, speed, and comprehension starting with the first year students in all colleges moreover, teachers use reading intervention strategies in the classroom necessarily.
Green CHMSC bachelor of secondary education program: A baseline study on the graduates' performance
Authors: Espinosa Janet P.
Published: January 2025

This descriptive-correlational research ascertained the performance of the teacher education graduates in the licensure examination in relation to their academic achievement in major courses of the 813 Bachelor of Secondary Education graduates, with specialization in Mathematics, Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), Physical Science and English who took the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) from 2008 – 2013. The graduates' performance in the LET was taken from a copy of the roster of examinees from the Professional Regulation Commission while their academic achievement was generated from the office of the Registrar. Documentary analysis, with the frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, analysis of variance and Pearson's Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation were used to analyzethe data at 0.05 level of significance. For the Math and English groups, findings revealed that there were more graduates who passed than those who failed in the LET while the TLE and Physical Science groups showed otherwise. Generally, the graduates obtained a high level in the licensure exam and a very good academic achievement level. The graduates differed significantly in their level of performance and academic achievement when grouped as to area of specialization. No significant difference, however, was noted in their academic achievement, when grouped as to year of examination. Their academic achievement significantly influenced their performance in the licensure examination.
Learners' Accessibility and Adaptability to Technology
Authors: Lumauag Ramil G.
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to describe the dynamics of learners in the use of technology specifi cally the internet, social media, and mobile devices in class and how they adapt to new technology and access information given of a new learning environment. This study used the qualitative method and an interview guide validated by identified experts was used to gather data from the twenty participants using purposive sampling. Results revealed that learners used technology as portal of knowledge wherein they can store and share documents, access lecture materials, view class announcements and submit class activities. The availability of online information motivates the learner to learn new concepts, and thereby promoted self-directed and independent learning. Learner shares signifi cant information wherein they collaborate and interact online using chat, messages, video call, and email. Unnecessary information on social media like spam, advertisements, negative post tends to distract the learners which lead them to wrong information. Since this study focused on the learners, a similar study is also recommended that will focus on the dynamics of teachers in the use of educational technology to describe their experiences, and how they adapt to the paradigmatic shift in instruction. It is also recommended to include ethical use of technology and social media.

Published: January 2025

Three models were used on study of insulating corrugated galvanized iron (GI) sheets using coconut fibers. Model 1 was with mortars and fibers. Model 2 was with mortars without fibers. Model 3 is the conventional model. Occurrence of physical defects was investigated for models 1 and 2 within the curing period. Internal temperatures were observed considering inside the bucket (IBT), carton box (ICBT), and wooden box (IWBT). Model 2 shows signs of more visible defects by which the mortar detached from the corrugated GI sheet. Compared with Model 3, the IBT, ICBT and IWBT are lower using Model 1 as top cover. Model 1 used to minimize the internal temperature of different kind and quality of boxes. Among the three containers, it is in the wooden box that the IBT, ICBT and IWBT are the lowest. The researchers recommended a similar study using model houses.

Published: January 2025

This study explored the disaster resilience level of six barangays in Quezon City in which results can serve as baseline data in developing programs to help the community become more resilient. Descriptive cross-sectional survey design directed the data collection and analysis of resilience level of purposively selected 44 residents and Barangay officials. Results show that Barangays are resilient in terms of governance. They exhibited medium resilience in preparedness and response, risk management and vulnerability reduction, knowledge and education, and risk assessment. There is a need for a thorough evaluation of the prior programs implemented to address the weak points observed in this study. Further research may focus on large number of respondents as well as the number of barangays to be involved particularly those which have high hazards risk.
Foreign Language Study in the "New Normal"
Authors: Ledesma Sybill Krizzia , Toledo Crisanto
Published: January 2025

In the advent of "new normal" education, a term used to describe the notion of distance learning, Foreign Language (FL) classes faced a lot of changes in the pedagogy of FL education. To identify if these changes have affected the students' perceptions on their FL learning experiences, FL students were interviewed through autobiographies. Twenty four FL students were identified through snowball sampling and has reached data saturation. Through thematic analysis, the responses underwent open coding, axial coding, and selective coding where three themes were then identified: virtual classroom environment, teaching pedagogy, and drive and motivation which all round up to encapsulate to refer to both the FL teachers' management (in the virtual classroom, instruction, and interaction) and the FL students' self-management (self-regulation decisions, time flexibility, drive, and motivation). To ensure higher learning rates, there is a need to consider the FL teachers' virtual classroom management and the FL students' self-management.

Authors: David Adonis P. , Aruta John Jamir Benzon R.
Published: January 2025

This qualitative study was conducted to describe the pedagogy used by Filipino counselor educators through the views and experiences of a select group of Filipino counseling education students. Adopting a phenomenological design, qualitative data from a select group of counseling education students were collected through individual interviews. Cool and warm analyses were performed to examine the qualitative responses of the participants. From the findings emerged five broad themes describing the different pedagogical moves employed by Filipino counselor educators: (1) modelling positive behaviour and competence; (2) mentoring by scaffolding; (3) designing out-of-class learning experiences; (4) teaching through research; and (5) developing reflective practice through experiential learning. The findings of this study highlight the need for counselor educators to be trained on the ways and means of facilitating learning for the optimal development of prospective counselors.

An Appraisal of Engineering Students' Critical Thinking and Science Process Skills using Problem-Based Learning Approach
Authors: Barosa Elizabeth
Published: January 2025

Problem-Based Learning approach (PBLA) promotes motivation and maximizes the potential of students through their acquired science process skills (SPS) and critical thinking skills (CTS). Most of the researches about PBLA focus solely on the SPS or CTS of the students. The study examined the effect of PBLA on both skills of the first-year engineering students in chemistry laboratory subject. Through convenience sampling, the study was carried out on one intact class of Bachelor of Science in Electronics Communication Engineering students enrolled at a state university in Manila during the 2nd semester of SY 2015-2016. Students were motivated through PBL laboratory activities and were facilitated to design their own procedures. Quantitative data was obtained using the Science Process Skills Test and Critical Thinking Appraisal. The results revealed that majority of the students' SPS was enhanced and developed. There was significant progress on their CTS after exposure to PBLA. Likewise, qualitative data was obtained based on the Students Experience Survey piloted to them. Findings show that some of the attributes of the PBL were demonstrated and, the negative and positive experiences of students towards the PBLA. This study recommends the implementation of PBLA in teaching and learning to improve students' manifestation of SPS and CTS. Future studies are recommended to put more emphasis on qualitative analysis to identify other intervening variables that influence students' engagement in PBLA and the rate of development of their SPS and CTS.
Stress Management Among Undergraduate Students Through Mindfulness Practices
Authors: Meepan Walainart
Published: January 2025

This qualitative research aimed to explore the effectiveness of mindfulness practices for stress management among undergraduate students of Kasetsart University in Thailand. The samples were 120 undergraduate students of Kasetsart University attending a one-hour lecture class about mindfulness practices, participating in three-hour mindful group activities, and being assigned to choose a few activities from "The Tree of Contemplative Practices" to handle the situations in their lives for a few weeks. The research tools were field notes and a self-reflection journal. Collected data were interpreted by content and categorical data analysis. Although results shed light on the fact that negative academic and lifestyle consequences are common sources of stress among students, they are potentially managing their stress, embracing both negative and positive life events, and solving daily life problems with a conscious mind. The most prevalent practice was stillness practice. Further research should be conducted regarding integrating mindfulness practices into the academic curriculum.

In the 2023-2024 period, Ecuador faced important challenges in the automotive industry related to sustainability and technological innovation, most notably the problem of overheating internal combustion engines. This phenomenon negatively impacted vehicle efficiency, increased pollutant emissions and aggravated operating costs. In regions such as the coast and the east, high temperatures intensified this problem, while in the highlands, factors such as lower oxygen levels affected engine performance. Research showed that poor maintenance of radiators and coolant lines contributed to overheating, highlighting the need for more efficient cooling systems. Although the importation of modern vehicles introduced advanced technologies, the country's predominantly older vehicle fleet increased the incidence of the problem. In addition, international studies showed that overheating deteriorated the lubricating oil, accelerating the oxidation and wear of engine parts. Measures were proposed such as strengthening public policies, renewing the vehicle fleet, encouraging preventive maintenance and promoting local research on solutions adapted to Ecuadorian conditions. This approach sought not only to mitigate the environmental impact, but also to consolidate a more efficient and sustainable automotive sector

Authors: Becerra Cintia Belén
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Among the professions linked to health, nursing is one of those most affected by the lack of social and economic recognition; for this reason, this research is focused on nurses who have one job compared to those who have two or more and the symptomatological consequences that this could produce.Objectives: To mention certain symptomatological ailments that nurses may present when exercising their profession, and to make a comparison between those who have one job and those who have two or more.Methods: The research is descriptive, comparative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, from primary sources and quantitative. The population and sample taken for the research were different nursing professionals, chosen by convenience, where 47 people who are currently working were selected, some of whom have only one job, while others have multiple jobs.Results: It was observed that 74.5% of the population has only one job, while 25.5% have multiple jobs. The nurses who have only one job present different health problems and therefore they are the ones who present greater symptomatological consequences. This is an alarming fact, since nurses who are currently working in the profession present some symptomatology

Published: January 2025

Ngbó̩ is an interactive resource for enabling social relations between in a discourse setting. There are various extant studies on syntax of various lexical and syntactic constructions in Yoruba with little attention paid to the syntactic status of ‘ngbó̩’ amongst the structural elements of a clause. ‘Ngbó̩’ is seemingly found around interrogative clause; however, there are divergent opinions on its functional role whether as a question marker, a complementizer, or a sentence modifier. Based on these backdrops, this study investigated the status of ǹgbó̩ in Yoruba language with a view to ascertaining its syntactic and pragmatic functions in the structural formation of Yoruba expressions. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) served as theoretical framework. Through a purposive sampling technique, hypothetical data from day to day conversations among the native speakers of standard Yoruba and extracted samples of ngbó̩- expressions from Yoruba published literary texts formed data for this study. The finding revealed that the focused lexeme is not a question marker rather it is truncated clause used as sentence modifier specifically, as comment adjunct which evidentially expresses source of the clause proposition. Thus, ngbó̩ exposes the speaker’s background knowledge on the clause proposition. In addition to its evidential import on the clause content, it also encodes speaker’s commitment to the truth of the clause proposition. In such a context, it is adjudged as an epistemic modality, which validates the speaker’s personal responsibility for the evaluation of the information whether the information is actually shared or not by the readers.
Scarcity Effect and Consumer Decision Biases: How Urgency Influences the Perceived Value of Products
Authors: Zamfir Mirela D.
Published: January 2025

The scarcity effect, a psychological phenomenon where consumers perceive limited-availability products as more valuable, significantly shapes purchasing behavior, especially when combined with urgency-inducing tactics. This paper explores how scarcity, amplified by urgency, influences cognitive biases—such as loss aversion, anchoring, and the scarcity heuristic—in consumer decision-making processes. Through an in-depth analysis, we examine how urgency-driven scarcity enhances consumers’ perceived value of products, often leading to impulsive purchasing and altered judgment. The study also assesses the implications of these tactics in marketing strategies, revealing potential short-term gains in sales alongside long-term impacts on consumer loyalty, brand trust, and post-purchase regret. By providing insights into the psychological mechanisms behind scarcity and urgency, this paper underscores the importance of balanced, ethical marketing practices that respect consumer autonomy. The findings highlight the need for brands to employ scarcity tactics strategically, ensuring that they enhance perceived value without compromising long-term customer relationships.

Authors: Hensley Daniel J. , Greer Thomas P. , Fischer Elena S.
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the conflict between the principle of non-intervention, enshrined in Article 2(7) of the United Nations Charter, and the practice of humanitarian intervention. The principle of non-intervention aims to protect state sovereignty by prohibiting external interference in domestic matters, but it faces challenges in the context of severe humanitarian crises. Through analysis of legal frameworks, ethical debates, and case studies such as Kosovo, Libya, and Syria, this paper explores the complexities of balancing respect for sovereignty with the moral imperative to protect human rights. The role of the UN Security Council in authorizing interventions and the influence of geopolitical dynamics are discussed, as well as the evolving doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The paper concludes by highlighting the need for clearer international standards that reconcile non-intervention with the responsibility to prevent atrocities, offering insights into potential reforms for a more consistent approach to humanitarian intervention in international law.

Published: January 2025

Las comunidades campesinas han demostrado una gestión sostenible y sabia de sus territorios, gracias a sus conocimientos y prácticas tradicionales. Con el pasar de los años, el conocimiento tradicional se ha ido desapareciendo poco a poco, debido a la falta de interés de las futuras generaciones en aprender y aplicar estos conocimientos. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo principal evaluar la continuidad del uso y manejo de la biodiversidad de flora y la posible perdida de conocimientos tradicionales. La metodología aplicada es de carácter analítico descriptivo, incluyo trabajo de campo en la Comuna Agua Blanca ubicada dentro del Parque Nacional Machalilla, Cantón Puerto López, durante junio y julio de 2024, para ello se desarrolló un mapa de la comunidad con el uso del software QGIS. 3.0 identificando las zonas de mayor afluencia turística, además se aplicó una encuesta de 14 preguntas a los habitantes, comparando los conocimientos tradicionales del año 2023 con los del presente estudio, se incluyó la elaboración de un inventario florístico y se realizaron ocho visitas a la comunidad, entrevistando a guías locales para recopilar información sobre sus conocimientos y prácticas ancestrales relacionadas con la biodiversidad. Los resultados preliminares indican una preocupante pérdida de conocimientos tradicionales, especialmente entre los jóvenes de la comunidad, esta situación se atribuye, en parte, a la falta de espacios educativos formales que promuevan y transmitan estos saberes ancestrales. Se concluye que actualmente los jóvenes de la comunidad no presentan interés por aprender y aplicar estos conocimientos ancestrales, siendo preocupante pues existe la perdida de estas prácticas y el manejo sostenible de la biodiversidad local.
