Dimensões de natureza na obra Pedagogia da Esperança de Paulo Freire:
Authors: Da Luz Rodrigo , Oliveira de Almeida Rosiléia
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho aborda as dimensões de natureza presentes na obra Pedagogia da Esperança de Paulo Freire e suas contribuições para a constituição de uma Educação Ambiental crítica e humanizadora. Para tanto, utiliza a Análise Textual Discursiva e o processo de explicação e compreensão das criações culturais no sentido de analisar a constituição interna da referida obra, escrita em 1992, e seus contextos de produção. Debruça-se, portanto, sobre aspectos que marcam o terceiro momento da vida de Paulo Freire, em que o autor se defende de críticas, ressignifica categorias essenciais de seu pensamento, além de adotar um novo paradigma. Percebe-se na obra que a natureza adquire novos sentidos expressos em duas dimensões indispensáveis à constituição de uma educação ambiental crítica humanizadora: a) natureza como mundo da adaptação/transformação e b) natureza imbricada à cultura.

Published: August 2024

INTRODUCTION:

Recent associative studies have linked intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) with risk of pancreatitis, but the causal relationship remains unclear.

METHODS:

Using Mendelian randomization, we evaluated the causal association between genetically predicted IPFD and pancreatitis. This approach used genetic variants from genomewide association studies of IPFD (n = 25,617), acute pancreatitis (n = 6,787 cases/361,641 controls), and chronic pancreatitis (n = 3,875 cases/361,641 controls).

RESULTS:

Genetically predicted IPFD was significantly associated with acute pancreatitis (odds ratio per 1-SD increase: 1.40 [95% CI: 1.12–1.76], P = 0.0032) and chronic pancreatitis (odds ratio: 1.64 [95% CI: 1.13–2.39], P = 0.0097).

DISCUSSION:

Our findings support a causal role of IPFD in pancreatitis, suggesting that reducing IPFD could lower the risk of pancreatitis.
Examination of Akt and GSK3β in BDNF‐mediated reductions in BACE1 activity in neuronal cells

Published: August 2024

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) content and signaling has been identified as one potential regulator of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing. Recently published work has demonstrated that BDNF reduces BACE1 activity while also elevating the inhibition of GSK3β in the prefrontal cortex of male C57BL/6J mice. These results provide evidence that BDNF alters APP processing by reducing BACE1 activity, which may act through GSK3β inhibition. The purpose of this study was to further explore the role of GSK3β in BDNF‐induced regulation on BACE1 activity. We utilized a cell culture and an in vitro activity assay model to pharmacologically target BDNF and GSK3β signaling to confirm its involvement in the BDNF response. Treatment of differentiated SH‐SY5Y neuronal cells with 75 ng/mL BDNF resulted in elevated pTrkB content, pAkt content, pGSK3β content, and reduced BACE1 activity. An in vitro BACE1 activity assay utilizing mouse prefrontal cortex (n = 6/group) supplemented with BDNF, BDNF + ANA12 (Trkb antagonist), or BDNF + wortmannin (Akt inhibitor) demonstrated that BDNF reduced BACE1 activity; however, in the presence of TrkB or Akt inhibition, this effect was abolished. An in vitro ADAM10 activity assay utilizing mouse prefrontal cortex (n = 6/group) supplemented with BDNF, BDNF + ANA12 (Trkb antagonist), or BDNF + wortmannin (Akt inhibitor) demonstrated that BDNF did not alter ADAM10 activity. However, inhibiting BDNF signaling reduced ADAM10 activity. Collectively these studies suggest that GSK3β inhibition may be necessary for BDNF‐induced reductions in BACE1 activity. These findings will allow for the optimization of future therapeutic strategies by selectively targeting TrkB activation and GSK3β inhibition.

Published: August 2024

To analyze the related factors of radiation-induced encephalopathy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) to identify the risk factors and their clinical significance. This retrospective cohort study included 707 NPC patients. They had undergone conventional and enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans. They were divided into the radiation-induced encephalopathy group and the no encephalopathy group according to the imaging examination. Detailed clinical information was collected. The incidence of radiation-induced encephalopathy in NPC was 22.2%, in which 124 were radiation-induced encephalopathy and 33 were reirradiation patients. We found that age, pathological type, radiation method, hypertension, radiation course, relapse, carotid/cerebral arteriosclerosis, clinical stage, and radiotherapy dose were statistically significant between the two groups (p < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression showed that clinical stage, age, radiotherapy method, hypertension, carotid/cerebral arteriosclerosis, and radiation courses after a reoccurrence of NPC were risk factors for radiation-induced encephalopathy. The more advanced the clinical stage was and the older the patient, the greater the risk. Radiotherapy method, radiation course, hypertension, carotid/cerebral arteriosclerosis, age, and clinical stage were the risk factors associated with radiation-induced encephalopathy in NPC.
Bürgerlichrechtliche Innengesellschaft – zurück damit ins Römische Recht?
Authors: Beuthien Volker
Published: August 2024

549Der nachstehende Beitrag widmet sich der Frage, ob eine Innengesellschaft nicht oder jedenfalls nicht vollends gesellschaftsrechtlich verfasst ist, sondern (wovon das jüngst in Kraft getretenen MoPeG ausgeht) wie im Römischen Recht nur ein besonderes Schuldverhältnis mit an- oder eingegliederter Bruchteilsgemeinschaft der Beteiligten darstellt. Im Gegensatz dazu wird die bürgerlichrechtliche Innengesellschaft nicht schuldrechtlich, sondern ebenso wie die Außengesellschaft als insgesamt gesellschaftsrechtlicher Organisationsvertrag begriffen. Deutlich gemacht wird, dass das Bürgerliche Gesetzbuch eine Bruchteilsgemeinschaft nur an einzelnen Gegenständen, aber grundsätzlich nicht an Sach- und Rechtsgesamtheiten zulässt, ein dem gemeinsamen Zweck dienendes Vermögen jedoch aus mehreren und regelmäßig verschiedenartigen Gegenständen zu bestehen pflegt. Zugleich wird herausgestellt, dass sich ein Gesellschaftszweck hinreichend nur dinglich, nicht aber lediglich schuldrechtlich sichern lässt. Letztlich erweist sich, dass das MoPeG sein erklärtes Regelungsziel, die Außengesellschaft fortzuentwickeln, auch hätte erreichen können, ohne die Innengesellschaft derart tiefgreifend zurückzustufen.
Kontinuität in der Diskontinuität

574Durch die Schaffung von Mehrstimmrechten werden Privilegien zugunsten eines oder mehrerer Anteilsinhaber begründet, die durch einen Formwechsel gem. § 190 Abs. 1 UmwG beeinträchtigt werden können. Ein Grund hierfür liegt darin, dass die formwechselnde Umwandlung zwar durch eine Kontinuität der Vermögenszuordnung, nicht aber durch eine Kontinuität der Rechtsverfassung gekennzeichnet ist. Die Inhaber von Mehrstimmrechten genießen daher im Umwandlungsrecht einen besonderen Schutz. Ihre Schutzbedürftigkeit ist aber nur die eine Seite der Medaille. Denn jede Begründung von Mehrstimmrechten geht mit einer Beeinträchtigung der Rechtsposition der übrigen Anteilsinhaber einher. Der Gesetzgeber des Zukunftsfinanzierungsgesetzes (ZuFinG) hat dies erkannt und mit der Neuregelung des § 135 a AktG ein Schutzkonzept zugunsten der Inhaber von Stammaktien mit einfacher Stimmkraft etabliert, das der Einführung und Gestaltung von Mehrstimmrechten in der Aktiengesellschaft rechtliche Grenzen setzt. Welche Bedeutung diese Schutzmechanismen beim Wechsel von der Rechtsform einer GmbH in eine Aktiengesellschaft entfalten, soll der nachfolgende Beitrag zeigen.
Chronic Social Defeat Stress Induces Pathway-Specific Adaptations at Lateral Habenula Neuronal Outputs

Published: August 2024

The lateral habenula (LHb) has emerged as a pivotal brain region implicated in depression, displaying hyperactivity in human and animal models of depression. While the role of LHb efferents in depressive disorders has been acknowledged, the specific synaptic alterations remain elusive. Here, employing optogenetics, retrograde tracing, and ex vivo whole-cell patch-clamp techniques, we investigated synaptic transmission in male mice subjected to chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) at three major LHb neuronal outputs: the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and the rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg). Our findings uncovered distinct synaptic adaptations in LHb efferent circuits in response to CSDS. Specifically, CSDS induced in susceptible mice postsynaptic potentiation and postsynaptic depression at the DRN and VTA neurons, respectively, receiving excitatory inputs from the LHb, while CSDS altered presynaptic transmission at the LHb terminals in RMTg in both susceptible and resilient mice. Moreover, whole-cell recordings at projection-defined LHb neurons indicate decreased spontaneous activity in VTA-projecting LHb neurons, accompanied by an imbalance in excitatory–inhibitory inputs at the RMTg-projecting LHb neurons. Collectively, these novel findings underscore the circuit-specific alterations in LHb efferents following chronic social stress, shedding light on potential synaptic adaptations underlying stress-induced depressive-like states.

Published: August 2024

Los efectos de la desigualdad laboral en la deserción estudiantil universitaria permiten comprender las dinámicas y eficacia de las políticas de inclusión y permanencia estudiantil en los centros de Educación Superior. El objetivo general de la investigación fue determinar los factores que influyen en la desigualdad laboral respecto a la deserción académica. La metodología empleó la investigación de campo mediante el enfoque cualitativo. Se utilizó los siguientes métodos descriptivo, inductivo y bibliográfico. Se aplicó la entrevista como instrumento de investigación cualitativa. Esta se aplicó en una muestra de ocho estudiantes mediante lectura de preguntas y registro de respuestas. Los resultados muestran que tanto las actividades laborales que realizan los estudiantes, como las becas académicas y las ayudas económicas proporcionadas por la Institución de Educación Superior permiten financiar los costos derivados de una educación universitaria presencial y que debido a que los horarios de clases son distintos en cada período académico ordinario frente a horarios rígidos de trabajo en diferentes empresas, se prioriza cumplir con las funciones de trabajo y luego trasladarse a la Institución de Educación Superior para recibir las clases con puntualidad. Se concluyó que la carencia de oportunidades laborales en relación con la precariedad de los empleos puede llevar a los estudiantes a abandonar sus estudios para buscar trabajo que sustente los gastos derivados del entorno familiar y las actividades académicas, además, la promoción de ayudas económicas como aporte en la educación es una herramienta importante para abordar la problemática de la deserción estudiantil en la educación superior.
Opportunities and challenges for school food programs in Canada
Authors: Ruetz Amberley T. , Poppendieck Janet
Published: August 2024

As Canada works towards developing a national school food program, it is timely to examine the lessons learned from the programs of other countries. Analyzing these insights can help Canada avoid key pitfalls and replicate promising practices in program design and implementation. The Government of Canada has the advantage of learning from one of the longest standing national school food programs and our southern neighbour: the United States (U.S.). This paper distills vital lessons from the U.S. school food programs, with a focus on addressing four critical aspects: access, emphasis on health and education, funding, and program implementation. First, the U.S. experience demonstrates the significance of universal free school meals. The historical inadequacies of means-tested programs result in inefficiencies, stigma, and exclusion of students in need. Second, the paper argues for an emphasis on health and education benefits. Third, it underscores the necessity of adequate funding. Inadequate reimbursements in the U.S. have compromised meal quality and led to the food industry’s capitalization on school meals, with negative implications for children’s health. Lastly, harnessing the power of procurement and employment can stimulate local economies, create good jobs, and foster a healthier food environment. As Canada tailors its national school food program to its diverse regions and communities, it has an extraordinary opportunity to avoid the policy and program implementation errors revealed by the U.S. experience.
O neoaristotelismo de Gadamer
Authors: Pereira Viviane Magalhães
Published: August 2024

O tema deste artigo é a interpretação que Gadamer faz do conceito de phronesis de Aristóteles conforme apresentado no Livro VI da Ética a Nicômaco. Gadamer defende que esse primado aristotélico do ser ético pode ser estendido para a reflexão sobre a questão do ser, em especial, o ser da vida histórica. Assim como Heidegger, Gadamer concebe a ontologia como uma filosofia da finitude orientado pela ética de Aristóteles, mas diferentemente de Heidegger, e de uma maneira mais consequente, ele não esvazia a discussão de seu significado ético. Trata-se igualmente de uma retomada do problema hermenêutico de como é possível a compreensão, se ela acontece a partir de uma situação histórica concreta, bem como de uma extensão desse problema à reflexão filosófica como um todo. Para expor essa problemática, partiremos do fenômeno histórico de reabilitação da filosofia prática na Alemanha e de como o neoaristotelismo de Gadamer faz parte desse movimento. Depois investigaremos a origem e desenvolvimento da atualização que Gadamer faz do conceito aristotélico de phronesis, cuja culminância pode ser observada em Verdade e método como consciência da Wirkungsgeschichte.
Hegel e as bases do comunitarismo
Authors: Weber Thadeu
Published: August 2024

A publicação de Uma Teoria da Justiça de J. Rawls tem provocado um intenso debate entre liberais e comunitaristas, principalmente no que se refere ao tema da prioridade do justo em relação às concepções do bem. A importância dada ao contexto de uma comunidade, com vistas à construção de uma teoria da justiça, tem sido objeto de muita controvérsia. Ele é tido como irrelevante para os liberais e como fundamental para os comunitaristas. O propósito deste artigo é entrar nessa discussão e investigar as bases do comunitarismo, ou mais precisamente, indicar que a Filosofia do Direito de Hegel pode ser considerada uma antecipação dessas bases. Sua concepção ético-política de Constituição é a maior prova disso. Para cumprir com esse objetivo, é necessário explicitar a ideia da liberdade como princípio orientador de toda estrutura jurídica, política e social. Isso inclui apresentar o direito abstrato, a moralidade e, principalmente, a eticidade como forma de sua concretização. A substancialidade ética é discutida como a fonte de inspiração do comunitarismo. A indicação de uma concepção ético-política de Constituição e a sua relação com a comunidade pré-política é o argumento central dessa influência.
Párkapcsolat és a személyiség működésmintázatai: A boweni szelf-differenciáció nyomán
Authors: Csordás Georgina , Urbán Szabolcs , Tóth Ágnes
Published: August 2024

Elméleti háttér: A párkapcsolati elégedettség a párok romantikus kapcsolataira vonatkozó átfogó és általános szubjektív értékelését foglalja magában. A különböző nézőpontokat képviselő vizsgálati eredmények mind ugyanabban szolgálnak megerősítésül: a párkapcsolati működés alkotóelemeinek egyediségét, változatosságát támasztják alá. Az elégedettség szempontjából ugyanakkor ritkán vizsgálnak olyan transzgenerációs folyamatok eredményeként kialakuló jellemzőket, mint amilyen a szülőkről való érzelmi leválás. A kapcsolatok szempontjából azonban ennek szerepe kulcsfontosságú, hiszen meghatározhatja azok minőségét, sikerességét és egyben stabilitását is. Módszerek: Jelen kutatás a magyar lakosság tizennyolc év feletti, önbevallása alapján elkötelezett párkapcsolatban élő személyeit (n = 533) vizsgálta meg. Magyar mintán elsőként került feltárásra, hogy olyan jellegzetes, együttesen ritkán vizsgált változók mentén, mint az érzelmi leválás (szelf-differenciáció), az önegyüttérzés, a hála és a párkapcsolati elégedettség, az egyének vajon milyen működésmintázati modellek felállítását teszik lehetővé. Méréseinket az Érzelmi Leválás Kérdőív, a Hála Kérdőív, az Önegyüttérzés Skála és a Kapcsolati Elégedettség Skála felhasználásával hajtottuk végre. A személyiségek elkülönítését és szisztematikus csoportosítását pedig hierarchikus klaszterelemzés eljárással végeztük el. Eredmények: Az elemzés következtében a „fiatal – magasan differenciálatlan”, „a fiatal – differenciált” és az „idős – differenciálatlan” párkapcsolati működésmódok leírására nyílt lehetőség. A legnagyobb mértékű differenciáltságot, önegyüttérzést és hálakészséget mutató „fiatal – differenciált” klaszter (Mdn = 37), szignifikánsan különbözött a fiatal – magasan differenciálatlan (Mdn = 36; U = 15648; Z = –3,118; p = 0,002; r = 0,16) és az idős – differenciálatlan (Mdn = 31; U = 5162; Z = –7,556; p < 0,001; r = 0,44) klasztertől is, így egyben a párkapcsolatával leginkább elégedett klaszternek minősült. Következtetések: A három profil összehasonlítása során megállapíthattuk, hogy a legmagasabb szintű elégedettséget a leválás, az önegyüttérzés, és a hálakészség együttes intenzitása biztosíthatja. Általános érvényűnek bizonyult továbbá az a vizsgálati tapasztalat, hogy a szelf differenciáltsági állapota és az önegyüttérzés a párkapcsolati kiegyensúlyozottság szempontjából egyformán meghatározó lehet.

Háttér és célkitűzések: Jelen tanulmány célja a Szabadidős Testedzés Motivációja Skála (Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale, PALMS) magyar változatának (PALMS–H) pszichometriai vizsgálata, a mérőeszköz reliabilitásának és validitásának ellenőrzése. Módszerek: 893 fő vett részt a vizsgálatban (nférfi = 428, átlagéletkor = 33,7 év; SD = 11,79 év). A PALMS–H mellett a Sportmotivációs Skála II-t (SMS-II) alkalmaztuk. Eredmények: A megerősítő faktoranalízis támogatta a PALMS–H nyolcdimenziós elméleti modelljét, megfelelő illeszkedési mutatókat kaptunk [χ2(893) = 3427,77; p < 0,01; GFI = 0,95; TLI = 0,94; CFI = 0,94; RMSEA = 0,07]. Az alskálák belső konzisztenciája egy kivételével (Külső elvárások, Cronbach-α = 0,58) megfelelőnek bizonyult (Cronbach-α = 0,85–0,91). A skála invariánsnak mutatkozott a nemeket tekintve. A konstruktumvaliditás vizsgálata során szignifikáns, mérsékelt, illetve erős kapcsolatot mutatott az Elsajátítási cél és az Örömérzet az SMS-II-vel mért intrinzik motivációjával (r = 0,53–0,70), integrált (r = 0,41–0,47), identifikált (r = 0,32–0,60) és introjektált szabályozásával (r = 0,36–0,37). Gyenge, illetve közepes erősségű (r = 0,20–0,47) kapcsolatot találtunk a PALMS–H kérdőív többi alsklálája és az SMS-II öndeterminált viselkedésre utaló skálái között. Következtetés: A PALMS magyar nyelvű változata megfelelő, megbízható és érvényes mérőeszköznek bizonyult a testmozgás motivációs hátterének mérésére.
Intentional Hyperglycemia at work, Glycemic Control, Work-related Diabetes Distress and Work Ability among Workers with Diabetes
Authors: Elhadidy Samah Saleh , El-Gilany Abdel-Hady , Abdel Ghani Badawi Mohamed Roshdi , Elbialy Aya Mohamed
Published: August 2024

Background. Work life of individuals with diabetes differs from that of those without diabetes. Work may interfere with diabetes self-management tasks,  resulting in intentional hyperglycemia at work (IHW) and poor glycemic control. Diabetes also can affect work productivity due to work-related diabetes distress (WRDD) and impaired work ability (WA).
Methodology. A cross-sectional study was done at the Specialized Medical Hospital Mansoura University, which included 323 working patients with diabetes. They were subjected to personal interviews to collect socio-demographic data, occupational, diabetes and other pertinent medical histories. Questionnaires for measuring IHW, WRDD and WA were completed. Clinical and A1c data were obtained from their records.
Results. The prevalence of always high IHW, poor/very poor glycemic control, high WRDD and poor/moderate work ability was: 23.8%, 60.1%, 34.7% and 74.6%, respectively. The predictors of always high IHW were: 1) below university education; 2) treatment with insulin only or combined with oral drugs and 3) high WRDD. The predictors of poor/very poor glycemic control were urban residence, always and almost high IHW. The predictors of high WRDD were mentally-requiring jobs or both mentally- and physically-requiring jobs, duration of diabetes greater than 14 years and treatment with insulin. The predictors of poor/moderate WA were 'high' WRDD, 'almost high' and 'high a few times'  IHW ratings.
Conclusions: Most of the studied population suffered mainly from poor/very poor glycemic control and poor/moderate work ability, while a lower proportion had high WRDD. This highlighted the need for workplace modifications and interventions to help workers with diabetes control their diabetes, improve their work ability and reduce WRDD to increase productivity.
Fisheries Management and Colonialism: deterritorialization and r-existence in the artisanal fishing community of Praia do Siqueira/RJ-Brazil
Authors: Reis Naetê Barbosa Lima , Walter Tatiana , Timóteo Geraldo Marcio
Published: August 2024

Abstract Colonial domination, established from the 15th century onwards, remains as a founding element of modern western rationality,, acting as invisibly as efficiently in the production of subalternities. In the epistemological dimension, the coloniality of knowledge institutionalizes the role of modern science in the discrimination of knowledge between false and true. Decolonization as an unfinished project, associated with authoritarian fisheries management models, has forged contexts of environmental injustice. As a factual example, we analyze the imposition of a period of suspension of fishing activity in Lagoa de Araruama-RJ, based on the narratives of the artisanal fishing community of Praia do Siqueira, located on its banks. In developing the research, non-extractive/participatory methodologies were used. It is concluded that the imposed calendar intensifies the processes of deterritorialization of the community, however, despite the violence, these spaces are percolated by r-existence practices.
Decriminalization of the crime of food non-attendance in Colombia a lack of protection of the human right to food
Authors: Díaz Castro Juan Antonio , González Luna Arturo Francisco , Márquez Cardona Albeiro
Published: August 2024

Maintenance law, an essential and inherent right for all living beings, is even more so for us human beings. It is covered by legal guarantees at the international and national level, since it is part of human rights and is also protected by our Constitution and other laws and decrees issued by our legislator. Currently, maintenance law is part of the legal obligations set forth in the Colombian law, which are due from the moment that its compliance is demanded, for which an administrative or judicial process has been created to protect them, without leaving aside that it can be agreed through a conciliation. However, there is in our country a bill in criminal matters, which seeks to criminally unprotect the breach of this legal obligation, i.e., in the event that it is not achieved administratively, judicially in a quota setting, the last hope is the criminal protection, that is, if it does not comply with such obligation could deprive the defaulter of his freedom, which would lead to forced compliance to avoid imprisonment. All this makes it necessary to study this particular topic within the course of human rights.

Published: August 2024

This study was conducted at 4 stations in Büyükçekmece Dam lake in 2020. In this study, water and Oligochaeta samples were collected seasonally. Parameters such as secchi disk depth, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, total hardness, nitrite nitrogen, phosphate and nitrate nitrogen were measured. Water quality parameters were qualified by SKKY (2004) ve TSWQR (2021). Also, the study, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Claparède, 1862) and Limnodrilus udekemianus (Claparède, 1862) species belonging to Oligochaeta were found in the dam lake. The number of individuals per m2 and % dominance ratios of species were also calculated. It is recommended that similar and more comprehensive studies be carried out periodically in the dam lake to monitor the water quality of the dam lake regularly and to determine the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna.
Exploring the Lives of Children Born of Conflict‐Related Sexual Violence Through Art
Authors: Denov Myriam
Published: August 2024

Although the realities of children born of conflict‐related sexual violence have gained increased attention, limited research has explored the issue from the perspectives of the children themselves. Drawing upon a sample of 79 children born of sexual violence in Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) captivity, and using arts‐based methods, this study explored the wartime and post‐conflict experiences directly from children born of conflict‐related sexual violence in northern Uganda. The study illustrates how the arts‐based methods of mask‐making, drawing, and life maps—developed in consultation with local researchers and youth born in LRA captivity—helped to capture the complex wartime and post‐war realities of this unique population of children and youth, as well as enabled young people to choose what to share and what to withhold during the research process. More easily distributed, accessed, and consumed than traditional academic publications, the medium of art can have a widespread, immediate, and powerful impact. The article concludes with the strengths, limitations, and ethical implications of arts‐based methods, as well as the importance of considering culture and context for future research.
Representations by Gifted Senior Pre-Schoolers on How Teachers Perceive Them
Authors: Belova E.S.
Published: August 2024

The article discusses issues of self-awareness of gifted children, taking into account interaction with teachers. The results of the study aimed at identifying the specifics of the representations of gifted senior pre-schoolers on how teachers perceive them are presented. The theoretical basis of the study was the concept of “Creative Giftedness” (A.M. Matyushkin). Sample: Stage I — 290 older preschoolers (Mage = 6.6; SD = 0.54); Stage II — 52 creative gifted children and 52 peers. Methods: the Figural Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking; observations, conversations with children; etc. It was revealed that in the group of gifted children, the total quantitative range of characteristics expected by teachers is wider than in the group of peers with less manifested creative abilities. There was variability in individual performance ranges. Analysis of the content aspect of the characteristics revealed their diversity: most of the characteristics in the group of gifted children belonged to the categories of “personal qualities and character traits” and “abilities and skills.” Emotionally positive characteristics predominated, indicating a positively perceived attitude of teachers.
Formation of Psychological and Pedagogical Readiness of Future Teachers for Professional Activities in an Inclusive Space
Authors: Fedotenko I.L.
Published: August 2024

Research by domestic and foreign scientists, as well as preliminary diagnostics of school teachers in the Tula region, showed that over 80% of teachers are not ready for professional work in an inclusive environment. Teachers do not know the specifics of conflicts in a situation of inclusion; do not know how to identify indicators of school violence and bullying; do not have the necessary competencies (diagnostic, conflict management, design, psychotherapeutic); are not ready to design a safe environment, have a negative attitude towards students with physical and mental problems, and do not take into account the peculiarities of the national and religious culture of migrant students. We consider a graduate’s readiness for professional activity in an inclusive space as a holistic, integrative professional and personal construct, including cognitive, emotional-value, operational-activity and conative components. The actualization of the problem of developing students’ readiness is associated with an unfavorable prognosis for the mental and physical health of children and adolescents, with an increase in the number of schoolchildren from migrant and refugee families.
Risks and Challenges in Introducing Artificial Intelligence into Higher Education
Authors: Davydova G.I. , Shlykova N.V.
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this article is to study possible risks and challenges in the higher education system that arise in connection with the growing speed of implementation of technologies, where artificial intelligence (AI) and neural network technologies are already part of its structure. The analysis is carried out with the aim of predicting the future nature of higher education, as well as exploring changes in the entire teaching paradigm under the influence of AI. The article identifies a number of expected problems when teaching students, in the pedagogical process, organizing their independent work, as well as in the management and administration of higher educational institutions when introducing AI capabilities into the process of higher education. The question is raised about the impact of restrictions on the development of Russian science, namely the disastrous consequences for its development due to the monopolization of AI algorithms and the subjective approach to managing a neural network by an organized technocratic group. In the course of analyzing the intersections of opposing issues of problematic issues and the positive dynamics of the influence of AI on the educational system of higher education, a vector has been set for further research on this topic.
Collaboration of Psychologists, Teachers and Parents in Supporting Schoolchildren in Preparation for External Examination
Authors: Sunnatova R.I.
Published: August 2024

One of the functions of the psychological service at school is psychological support of graduates in preparation for examination. The results of the survey of students showed that one of the reasons for anxiety and even fear is the topic of the period of preparation for examination and the examination process itself. Together with subject teachers, programs were created, the essence of which is to take into account the psychological aspects of time planning and self-regulation, as well as the content of the preparation plans and stages of work with examination tasks for each of the academic disciplines to be passed by graduates. Another no less “problematic” topic for graduates is the nature of the attitude of significant adults to the way graduates prepare for examination. Within the framework of psychological and pedagogical support of schoolchildren in preparation for the external examination, meetings of psychologist with parents of graduates were held, which were also conducted with the use of interactive methods. Such cooperation of subject teachers, school psychologist and parents has received positive feedback from students of final grades after testing the proposed recommendations on trial tests.

Authors: Tolochek V.A.
Published: August 2024

Purpose of the study: to study and describe the phenomenon of LSG (latent social groups). Hypotheses: 1) The basis for the emergence of LSG as pre-forms are the subjective preferences of a person (“deep” personal formations formed by the conditions of the internal and external environment). 2) A person’s subjective preferences are factors that predetermine the possibility, likelihood and closeness of his connections with other people in the processes of formation and evolution of social groups. Methods: category-theoretic analysis, study of literary sources; author’s methodology (questionnaire “Dynamics of professional life style”: respondents assessed the role of social environmental conditions as “factors of professionalism”, the dynamics of their professionalism from 20 to 65 years old. 482 men and women aged 30-50 years were interviewed (M=39.9; SD=7.6; 132 civil servants, 129 engineers, 221 managers). The sample was divided into groups by gender, job position of the subjects, subjective significance of environmental conditions as “factors of professionalism.” The results of the study confirm the working hypotheses. Features of the formation of LSG in the continuum are highlighted successive spheres of human life; the definition.

Authors: Shumakova N.B.
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of creating a favorable psychological climate in the classroom for the giftedness development of schoolchildren. The results of a study of schoolchildren’ perception of the classroom climate and teachers’ self-assessments of the skills associated with its creation are presented. The study involved 128 schoolchildren from six parallel 5th grades of the Moscow school and 48 teachers teaching fifth graders in Moscow and other Russian cities. Methods: the questionnaire “Climate in the classroom” (N.B. Shumakova et al., 2023) and the original self-assessment skills Questionnaire for teachers, containing statements related to the scales of the “Climate in the classroom” methodology. It is shown that schoolchildren’ perception of the classroom climate and teachers’ self-assessment of skills in its creation can differ significantly: Teachers highly appreciate their skills in creating conditions for schoolchildren to cooperate and work productively, while for fifth graders these aspects of the classroom climate are perceived as the most problematic. The actual targets for the training of a modern teacher are highlighted.

Authors: Perumal SrideviPonmalar , Devaerakkam Marshiana , Raghavan Krishanmoorthy Narasu , Periasamy Abirami
Published: August 2024

In wireless sensor networks, the data received from sensor nodes is processed and communicated to the next node or cluster head. Sensed data are meaningful only when location information is embedded with the data. Therefore, the sensor should be able to estimate its location information and embed the location information with the sensed data. This research work proposes three hybrid nature-inspired localization optimization algorithms for location estimation of sensor nodes, namely the Hybrid genetic –Bat Localization Algorithm (GA-BAT LA), Hybrid Bat- Particle Swarm Optimization Localization Algorithm (BAT-PSO LA), and Hybrid genetic -Bat- Particle Swarm Optimization Localization Algorithm (GA-BAT-PSO LA). The localization algorithms are developed, implemented, and compared to ensure the accuracy of the estimation of location information. A fixed number of location-known anchor nodes with a variable location-unknown sensor node are considered. The algorithms are compared for a minimum number of iterations, average number of iterations, standard deviation, maximum number of iterations, time complexity, and accuracy to estimate the location of the sensor nodes.

Algunas cuestiones pendientes en el derecho de la Unión Europea en relación con el factor religioso
Authors: Cañamares Arribas Santiago
Published: August 2024

Tomando como punto de partida la reciente sentencia Commune d’Ans del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, donde se analiza la compatibilidad con el derecho de la Unión de la prohibición del uso del velo islámico en las Administraciones públicas por parte de sus trabajadores, este estudio analiza dos cuestiones que están pendientes de aclaración en el derecho de la Unión Europea en relación con el factor religioso. De un lado, determinar si la religión y las convicciones constituyen un único objeto de protección o dos objetos distintos; de otro lado, precisar el alcance de la autonomía reconocida por el derecho de la Unión a los Estados miembros para decidir su modelo de relación frente a la religión teniendo en cuenta los condicionantes de los Tratados de la Unión
Acceso a la vivienda, gentrificación e imposición de restricciones a la adquisición de inmuebles por parte de residentes no españoles: Su posible justificación por razones legítimas de interés público y la compatibilidad con el derecho de la Unión
Authors: Janer Torrens Joan David
Published: August 2024

La iniciativa aprobada en 2022 por el Parlamento de las Islas Baleares en la que se instaba a aprobar una ley dirigida a restringir la adquisición de bienes inmuebles en el territorio de las Islas Baleares a no residentes españoles o a residentes sin un residencia mínima de cinco años, así como las iniciativas surgidas en este mismo sentido en las Islas Canarias y en otros países de la Unión como Francia, Italia o Portugal con el objetivo de frenar la especulación inmobiliaria y facilitar el acceso a la vivienda por parte de los residentes en el territorio, plantea si dichas iniciativas se ajustan al derecho de la Unión en la medida en que suponen, entre otras, una vulneración de la libre circulación de capitales. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar si, de acuerdo con el derecho de la Unión Europea y la jurisprudencia elaborada por el TJUE en relación con las excepciones a las libertades comunitarias y con la posible concurrencia de consideraciones relativas a la protección de intereses legítimos de interés público, resulta viable que, a efectos de garantizar el acceso a una vivienda digna, distintos territorios de la Unión sometidos a una fuerte presión inmobiliaria restrinjan la compra de inmuebles a no residentes.
Monopsony Fracture: An Exploration of College Athletes’ Freedom to Move and Freedom to Capitalize Through the Lens of Push-Pull Theory
Authors: Otto Kadence , Parrish Charlie
Published: August 2024

In 2015 the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) monopsony splintered when Judge Wilken ruled that the NCAA could not bar colleges from offering athletes the full cost-of-attendance (O’Bannon v. NCAA, 2015). By 2019, when California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the Fair Pay to Play Act into law, the NCAA’s monopsony fractured, ushering in a quasi-free market wherein college athletes can more freely transfer and monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL; Cal. Educ. Code § 67456, 2020). Therefore, this article begins by setting forth the necessity of the monopsony fracture in forcing NCAA policy change. Next, the authors examined college athletes’ rate of transfer (freedom to move) and opportunity to secure scarce benefits via NIL (freedom to capitalize) due to NCAA policy change. Last, the authors explore an approach toward understanding college athlete labor migration through push-pull theory (Lee, 1966).

Authors: Ngo Ngoc Vu , Duong Van Cuong
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to present an automatic measurement and classification system using a back-lighting source for a robotic arm with four Degrees of Freedom (DOF), employing machine vision technology. The objects utilized in this study are bolts and nuts, placed randomly within the workspace of the robotic arm. During operation, image data from a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) camera is transmitted to a personal computer to calculate the geometric parameters of the objects, including shape, angle, and position, which are then sent to the controller of the robotic arm. The robotic arm subsequently picks up the objects from the workspace and places them into target zones. With the proposed system, the world coordinates of components are accurately determined and utilized for the manipulation of the robotic arm. The research results demonstrate that the automatic classification system can detect and identify the shape and orientation of objects correctly. This system proves to be effective and easy to use.
