The study aimed to identify the use of e-games and its educational implications as viewed by guardians. The study adopted the descriptive approach where the study population included guardians who are working at Taibah University. The study sample consisted of 95 parents (father/mother) who were chosen by a simple random sampling method. A questionnaire was set up ensured for reliability and validity, and them was deliberately administered to parents. Many statistical methods were used to obtain the results such as frequencies, means, and standard deviation. One of the most important results of the study was the agreement of the sample members that the child’s main goal is to entertain e-games and not to obtain knowledge. It was found that the best way to spend time and enjoy it is through e-games and the child does not usually pay attention to e-games that contribute to the development of his abilities and skills. The study concluded suggesting many recommendations including studying the scientific efforts exerted in the field of technology and child culture and using them to present a scientific strategy that can be applied effectively.

This study aimed at identifying the extent to which the principles of constructive theory are represented in the biology textbooks of the ninth and tenth grades in Jordan. The analytical descriptive approach was employed. The instrument of the study consisted of six domains, which in turn include (23) sub-principles. The validity and reliability of the instrument was verified. The Chi- square (x²) was used to determine whether there is a significant difference(s) between the expected frequencies and the observed frequencies in the biology textbooks for the ninth and tenth grades. The study results revealed that the third domain: "learning based on development paths that enable students to feel the surrounding environment" came at the first rank in the textbooks of biology for the ninth and tenth grades, whereas the fifth domain: "the learner builds the meaning of what s/he learns her/himself, came at the last rank. Moreover, results indicated that there are no statistically significant differences in the representation of the constructive theory-principles between Bilogy textbooks of the ninth and tenth grades, except for the principle of "learning based on development paths that enable students to feel the surrounding environment", where there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the the tenth grade textbook. The study suggests a number of recommendations, among which are the need to increase the representation of some of the principles of constructive theory in the books of biology for ninth and tenth grades in Jordan.

AGRESI ISRAEL TERHADAP PALESTINA YANG BERUJUNG PELANGGARAN HAM PADA PALESTINA
Authors: Cahya Ega Nur
Published: April 2022

HAM merupakan Hak Asasi Manusia yang dimiliki oleh setiap individu dari didalam kandungan ibu, hak asasi manusia ini merupakan hak-hak yang telah dimiliki oleh seseorang karena dia manusia. Setiap manusia memiliki hak asasi manusia bukan karena ia diberikan kepdanya oleh masyrakat atau berdasarkan hukum positif, tetapi karena berdasarkan martabatnya sebagai manusia. Pelanggaran HAM jika di lakukan oleh siapaun akan mendapatkan balasan dari siapapun yang diambil hak-haknya tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui konflik yang terjadi antara Palestina dan Israel yang berujung pelanggaran HAM terhadap negara Palestina. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa Israel dan palestina sudah lama berkonflik bahkan serangan yang dilakukan oleh Israel telah banyak merusak dan menghancurkan tempat tinggal, tempat ibadah, dan kator PBB yang digunakan untuk lembaga bantuan. Sebagain besar negara di belahan bumi lainnya, terutama negara-negara yang memiliki penduduk beragama islam sangat mengecam tindakan yang dilakukan oleh Israel terhdapa Palestina. Bagi mereka Israel telah mengambila hak-hak yang dimiliki oleh warga sipil Palestina. Israel juga telah melanggar Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Pelanggaran HAM jika di lakukan oleh siapaun aka mendapatkan balasan dari siapapun yang diambil hak-haknya tersebut. Meskipun ada hukum Internasional yang mengacu kepada pemberlakuan HAM tersebut telah disepakati dan menjadi sumber acuan untuk menjalankan hubungan internasional, tetapi ironisnya hal ini tragedy kemanusiaan ini sering dan masih terjadi. Hal tersebut berlangsung lama dan terus menurus, seperti penderitaan yang terjadi kepada warga palestina yang diambil hak asasi manusiannya oleh penjajahan Zionis Israel.
On quantum evolving schemes
Authors: Chaudhury S. S.
Published: April 2022

A quantum secret sharing scheme is a method to share a quantum secret among participants in such a way that only certain specified subsets of the set of participants can combine to recover the secret. A quantum evolving secret sharing scheme is a recently introduced variant of secret sharing schemes where the sets of participants is not fixed and an unbounded and unspecified number of participants arrive one by one with time. The number of participants can be potentially infinite and and a quantum secret is shared and protected among the participants. The existing construction has some major drawbacks such as 1) the exponential quantum memory requirement and 2) the very high dimensions of the shares which makes the scheme difficult to implement. In this paper we overcome these drawbacks by constructing a scheme which uses quantum memory linear in the number of participants and significantly improves on the dimensions of the shares of the participants. This construction uses quantum secret redistribution and trap codes. The construction is flexible and can be modified to different types of access structures(subsets of participants which can recover the secret). Certain ramp properties can also be incorporated in the scheme.
Fault-tolerant fidelity based on few-qubit codes: parity-check circuits for biased error operators
Authors: Jiao Dawei , Li Ying
Published: April 2022

In the shallow sub-threshold regime, fault-tolerant quantum computation requires a tremendous amount of qubits. In this paper, we study the error correction in the deep sub-threshold regime. We estimate the physical error rate for achieving the logical error rates of $10^{-6} - 10^{-15}$ using few-qubit codes, i.e.~short repetition codes, small surface codes and the Steane code. Error correction circuits that are efficient for biased error operators are identified. Using the Steane code, when error operators are biased with a ratio of $10^{-3}$, the logical error rate of $10^{-15}$ can be achieved with the physical error rate of $10^{-5}$, which is much higher than the physical error rate of $10^{-9}$ for depolarising errors.
Construction of balanced, chemically dissimilar training, validation and test sets for machine learning on molecular datasets

Published: April 2022

When preparing training, validation and test sets for machine learning on molecular datasets, it is desirable to combine two requirements: 1) robustness, i.e. making a test set that is chemically dissimilar from the training set; 2) data balance, i.e. ensuring that the proportion of data points and the distribution of data labels (categorical) / data values (continuous) are as homogeneous as possible among the sets, for each individual property to model, while partitioning the overall set of compounds as required. Recent literature shows that meeting both these requirements simultaneously is sometimes very difficult. This is especially true for multi-task learning, but also for single-task learning if one aims to balance the distribution of data labels or values, too. In this work we present a method that resolves this issue by first carrying out a chemistry-guided clustering of the initial dataset to ensure the separation of chemical matter, and subsequently applying linear programming to select the lists of clusters that – once assembled into the final sets – result in the best possible data balance.
Molecular dynamics simulations and diversity selection by extended continuous similarity indices

Published: April 2022

Molecular dynamics (MD) is a core methodology of molecular modeling and computational design for the study of the dynamics and temporal evolution of molecular systems. MD simulations have particularly benefited from the rapid increase of computational power that has characterized the past decades of computational chemical research, being the first method to be successfully migrated to GPU infrastructure. While new-generation MD softwares are capable of delivering simulations on an ever-increasing scale, relatively less effort is invested in developing post-processing methods that can keep up with the quickly expanding volumes of data that are being generated. Here, we introduce a new idea for sampling frames from large MD trajectories, based on the recently introduced framework of extended similarity indices. Our approach presents a new, linearly scaling alternative to the traditional approach of applying a clustering algorithm that usually scales as a quadratic function of the number of frames. When showcasing its usage on case studies with different system sizes and simulation lengths, we have registered speedups of up to two orders of magnitude, as compared to traditional clustering algorithms. The conformational diversity of the selected frames is also noticeably higher, which is a further advantage for certain applications, such as the selection of structural ensembles for ligand docking. The method is available open source at: https://github.com/ramirandaq/MultipleComparisons.
Profiles of telomeric repeats in Insecta reveal diverse forms of telomeric motifs in Hymenopterans
Authors: Zhou Yihang , Wang Yi , Xiong Xiao , Appel Arthur G , Zhang Chao , Wang Xu
Published: April 2022

Telomeres consist of highly conserved simple tandem telomeric repeat motif (TRM): (TTAGG)n in arthropods, (TTAGGG)n in vertebrates, and (TTTAGGG)n in most plants. TRM can be detected from chromosome-level assembly, which typically requires long-read sequencing data. To take advantage of short-read data, we developed an ultra-fast Telomeric Repeats Identification Pipeline and evaluated its performance on 91 species. With proven accuracy, we applied Telomeric Repeats Identification Pipeline in 129 insect species, using 7 Tbp of short-read sequences. We confirmed (TTAGG)n as the TRM in 19 orders, suggesting it is the ancestral form in insects. Systematic profiling in Hymenopterans revealed a diverse range of TRMs, including the canonical 5-bp TTAGG (bees, ants, and basal sawflies), three independent losses of tandem repeat form TRM (Ichneumonoids, hunting wasps, and gall-forming wasps), and most interestingly, a common 8-bp (TTATTGGG)n in Chalcid wasps with two 9-bp variants in the miniature wasp (TTACTTGGG) and fig wasps (TTATTGGGG). Our results identified extraordinary evolutionary fluidity of Hymenopteran TRMs, and rapid evolution of TRM and repeat abundance at all evolutionary scales, providing novel insights into telomere evolution.
Machine Learning Does Not Improve Humeral Torsion Prediction Compared to Regression in Baseball Pitchers
Authors: Bullock Garrett S , Thigpen Charles A , Collins Gary S , Arden Nigel K , Noonan Thomas K , Kissenberth Michael J , Shanley Ellen
Published: April 2022

Background

Humeral torsion is an important osseous adaptation in throwing athletes that can contribute to arm injuries. Currently there are no cheap and easy to use clinical tools to measure humeral torsion, inhibiting clinical assessment. Models with low error and “good” calibration slope may be helpful for prediction.

Hypothesis/Purpose

To develop prediction models using a range of machine learning methods to predict humeral torsion in professional baseball pitchers and compare these models to a previously developed regression-based prediction model.

Study Design

Prospective cohort

Methods

An eleven-year professional baseball cohort was recruited from 2009-2019. Age, arm dominance, injury history, and continent of origin were collected as well as preseason shoulder external and internal rotation, horizontal adduction passive range of motion, and humeral torsion were collected each season. Regression and machine learning models were developed to predict humeral torsion followed by internal validation with 10-fold cross validation. Root mean square error (RMSE), which is reported in degrees (°) and calibration slope (agreement of predicted and actual outcome; best = 1.00) were assessed.

Results

Four hundred and seven pitchers (Age: 23.2 +/-2.4 years, body mass index: 25.1 +/-2.3 km/m2, Left-Handed: 17%) participated. Regression model RMSE was 12° and calibration was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.94, 1.06). Random Forest RMSE was 9° and calibration was 1.33 (95% CI: 1.29, 1.37). Gradient boosting machine RMSE was 9° and calibration was 1.09 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.14). Support vector machine RMSE was 10° and calibration was 1.13 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.18). Artificial neural network RMSE was 15° and calibration was 1.03 (95% CI: 0.97, 1.09).

Conclusion

This is the first study to show that machine learning models do not improve baseball humeral torsion prediction compared to a traditional regression model. While machine learning models demonstrated improved RMSE compared to the regression, the machine learning models displayed poorer calibration compared to regression. Based on these results it is recommended to use a simple equation from a statistical model which can be quickly and efficiently integrated within a clinical setting.

Classification Based Treatment of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) with Integration of the Movement System
Authors: Disantis Ashley E. , Martin RobRoy L.
Published: April 2022

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) refers to pain in the lateral hip and thigh and can encompass multiple diagnoses including external snapping hip (coxa saltans), also known as proximal iliotibial band syndrome, trochanteric bursitis, and gluteus medius (GMed) or gluteus minimus (GMin) tendinopathy or tearing. GTPS presents clinicians with a similar diagnostic challenge as non-specific low back pain with special tests being unable to identify the specific pathoanatomical structure involved and do little to guide the clinician in prescription of treatment interventions. Like the low back, the development of GTPS has been linked to faulty mechanics during functional activities, mainly the loss of pelvic control in the frontal place secondary to hip abductor weakness or pain with hip abductor activation. Therefore, an impairment-based treatment classification system. is recommended in the setting of GTPS in order to better tailor conservative treatment interventions and improve functional outcomes.

Band Pull-Apart Exercise: Effects of Movement Direction and Hand Position on Shoulder Muscle Activity
Authors: Fukunaga Takumi , Fedge Connor , Tyler Timothy , Mullaney Michael , Schmitt Brandon , Orishimo Karl , McHugh Malachy , Nicholas Stephen
Published: April 2022

Background/Purpose

The Elastic band pull-apart exercise is commonly used in rehabilitation. It involves pulling an elastic resistance band with both hands in horizontal abduction or diagonal arm movements. The extent of muscle activation during this exercise is unknown. The purpose of this study was to measure the electromyographic (EMG) activity of shoulder-girdle muscles during the pull-apart exercise using resistance bands and to determine the effects of arm position and movement direction on shoulder-girdle muscle activity.

Materials/Methods

Surface EMG activity was measured on the infraspinatus, upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius and posterior deltoid of the dominant shoulder. After measurement of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) for each muscle, subjects performed the band pull-apart exercise in three hand positions (palm up, neutral, palm down) and three movement directions (diagonal up, horizontal, diagonal down). Elastic band resistance was chosen to elicit moderate exertion (5/10 on the Borg CR10 scale). The order of the exercises was randomized and three repetitions of each exercise were performed. Mean peak EMG activity in each muscle across the repetitions was calculated and expressed as a percentage of MVC. Peak normalized EMG activity in each muscle was compared in two-way (hand position x direction) repeated-measures ANOVA.

Results

Data were collected from 10 healthy subjects (all males, age 36±12 years). Peak muscle activity ranged from 15.3% to 72.6% of MVC across muscles and exercise conditions. There was a significant main effect of hand position for the infraspinatus and lower trapezius, where muscle activity was highest with the palm up hand position (p < 0.001), and for the upper trapezius and posterior deltoid, where muscle activity was highest with the palm down position (p-value range < 0.001-0.004). There was a significant main effect of movement direction, where the diagonal up direction demonstrated the highest muscle activity for the infraspinatus, upper trapezius, lower trapezius, and posterior deltoid (p-value range < 0.001-0.02).

Conclusion

Altering hand position and movement direction during performance of an elastic band pull-apart exercise can affect magnitudes of shoulder-girdle muscle activity. Clinicians may alter a patient’s hand position and movement direction while performing the band pull-apart exercise in order to increase muscle activity in target muscles or diminish muscle activity in other muscles.

Intra-rater Reliability of a Qualitative Landing Scale for the Single-Hop Test: A Pilot Study
Authors: Measson Maxime V. , Ithurburn Matthew P. , Rambaud Alexandre JM.
Published: April 2022

Background

The test battery classically used for return-to-sport (RTS) decision-making after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may not be sufficient, as it does not include a qualitative analysis of movement. Therefore, the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scale was adapted to a primary functional test in the typical RTS test battery: the single leg hop for distance (SHD).

Hypothesis/ Purpose

The aim of this study was to determine the intra-rater reliability of the LESS scale adapted to the SHD (SHD-LESS scale) in healthy young athletes.

Study Design

Reliability analysis

Methods

Nineteen healthy individuals (14 men, 5 women; mean age: 22.4 years) participated in the study. Participants performed the SHD tasks on both limbs (dominant and non-dominant) using a standardized protocol in two sessions that were one week apart (single reviewer; 2-dimensional video). Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC2,1) were used to measure the reproducibility of the scale in the dominant (dom) and non-dominant (nondom) limbs. Additionally, limb data (dom and nondom) were pooled and evaluated collectively with intra-class correlation coefficients. The Kappa coefficient was used to assess the reproducibility of each individual item of SHD-LESS scale.

Results

The intra-rater reliability was good (ICCdom = 0.77; ICCnondom = 0.87; ICCpooled = 0.87) for the overall SHD-LESS scale scores. Agreement of SHD-LESS individual items ranged from 62% to 100%. Dorsiflexion at initial contact (97% agreement; kappa value=0.79) and knee valgus after landing (88% agreement; kappa value=0.65) had excellent agreement and kappa values.

Conclusion

The newly-adapted SHD-LESS scale showed good intra-rater reliability overall. Further studies should evaluate the impact of using the SHD-LESS scale within the RTS test battery on outcomes in patients after ACLR.

Linear Predictors of Perceived Graduate Employability among South Africa’s Rural Universities’ Learners during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Shava Herring
Published: April 2022

After the outbreak of Covid-19, universities in South Africa adopted blended learning and learning continued online. The outbreak of Covid-19 brought to light inherent problems that South African rural universities are facing in the utilisation of educational technologies. These problems include inadequate online support technologies, inadequate electricity supply and poor educator and learner technological skills. Resultantly, questions have been raised on rural university graduates’ employability prospects and how these can be enhanced. This study provides evidence revealing that learner career ambition can be used as an intervention mechanism to enhance graduate employability among rural university learners. This study sought to determine whether online teaching and learning predict perceived graduate employability among rural university learners in South Africa. In addition, the study investigated whether learner career ambition moderates the relationship between online teaching and learning and perceived graduate employability. Quantitative data was gathered from 150 rural university undergraduate learners. Random sampling was used to select them. A survey approach was used to gather primary data and the research instrument was a self-administered questionnaire. Simple linear regression, and hierarchical regression analyses were performed. Results reveal that online teaching and learning predict perceived graduate employability, and learner career ambition negatively moderates the relationship between online teaching and learning. The study recommends that more research is needed to shed light on how ambition can be used to enhance graduate employability especially in online teaching and learning environments marred by poor information and communication technology infrastructure.

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the concept of ideal woman according to Minangkabau philosophy. The criteria of the ideal woman can be found in proverbs containing implicit meaning related to ethical value namely the view about woman’s ideal morality. That interpretation can be comprehended from its function and purpose as a concept of moral and character education for Minangkabau young generation.The study toward the character education of Minangkabau woman based on the interpretation of meaning from the concept of Minangkabau ideal woman became the basis of fine art creative idea resulting on the icon of personal expression. This artwork was materialized into the painting of symbolic expression/abstraction by borrowing the traditional idiom “Tangkuluak (Tekuluk),” a kind of Bundo Kanduang’s formal outfit in the form of headgear as the traditional symbol Minangkabau custom.The creation of this symbolic expression painting aims at the preservation effort of Minangkabau aesthetics through the materialization of paintings that takes the specific theme, Bundo Kanduang as the ideal woman of Minangkabau people.This study used qualitative method presented in the form of descriptive analysis. The techniques of data collection conducted were interview and observation that had emic characteristic performed in the Centre of Minangkabau Cultural Information (in Indonesia, it’s called as PDIKM) in Padangpanjang and Adityawarman Museum in Padang, West Sumatra. While etic research was conducted with qualitative method namely studying the theoretical claim and interpreting the meaning of proverbs about the nobility of Bundo Kanduang.

Meat processing plants have been prominent hotspots for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreaks around the world. We describe infection prevention measures and risk factors for infection spread at a meat processing plant in Germany with a COVID-19 outbreak from April to June 2020. We analysed a cohort of all employees and defined cases as employees with either a PCR or ELISA positive result. Of 1,270 employees, 453 (36%) had evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The highest attack rates were observed in meat processing and slaughtering areas. Multivariable analysis revealed that being a subcontracted employee (adjusted risk ratio (aRR)): 1.43, 95% CI: 1.06–1.96), working in the meat cutting area (aRR: 2.44, 95% CI: 1.45–4.48), working in the slaughtering area (aRR: 2.35, 95% CI: 1.32–4.45) and being a veterinary inspector (aRR: 4.77, 95% CI: 1.16–23.68) increased infection risk. Sharing accommodation or transportation were not identified as risk factors for infection. Our results suggest that workplace was the main risk factor for infection spread. These results highlight the importance of implementing preventive measures targeting meat processing plants. Face masks, distancing, staggering breaks, increased hygiene and regular testing for SARS-CoV2 helped limit this outbreak, as the plant remained open throughout the outbreak.

Published: April 2022

Religiosity is an essential entity of Indonesian society. Only 0.04% of Indonesians do not choose official religion. This religious fact gives the government confidence that religion is determinant in the lives of Indonesian people. Then, the government poured that belief in the Law on the National Education System (No. 20/2003) Article 12 Section 1a. But then it ran into a problematic crucial. Incorporating religion in education can provide hope for social cohesion and become a cornerstone of morality. Still, on the other hand, it can be a laboratory for the transmission of extremism.  Therefore, the state policy in SISDIKNAS Article 12 Section 1a needs to be evaluated critically to understand and describe the substance of the policy, implementation, and impact, both planned and unplanned. For this purpose, this article tries to browse the literature to obtain the required data. This research provides some images. First, the Law generally has a positive substance but is very prone to causing social and legal problems caused by disproportionate and dilemmas derivatives of regulation. Second, the policy of religious rights and belief in the scope of education has not entirely led to the inclusive meaning of religion, resulting in several violations of human rights to the practice of exclusivism.

This study was carried out to determine the Thysanoptera species in the cereal production areas in the Lakes Region of Turkey, in 2016 and 2017. Thrips samples were collected at two different periods of cereal crops, before and after the spike stage. Destructive sampling and strike methods were used to obtain thrips species. The individuals were mounted on slides with Canada balsam for morphological characterisation. As a result of this study, a total of 51 species were identified including 9 species belonging to Tubulifera and 42 species belonging to Terebrantia. The most abundant species were Haplothrips tritici (Kurdjumov 1912) (58.25%), Collembolothrips mediterraneus Priesner 1935 (8.29%), Thrips angusticeps Uzel 1895 (6.61%), and Limothrips cerealium Haliday 1836 (4.31%). The most common species were H. tritici, T. angusticeps, L. cerealium, Aeolothrips intermedius Bagnall, 1934 and Aptinothrips stylifer Trybom, 1894. Three species were first recorded for Turkish fauna: Tylothrips osborni (Hinds), Mycterothrips sanubari Alavi Modarres Awal Fekrat & Minaei and Tenothrips hispanicus (Bagnall).

Analisis neraca air dapat memberikan pemahaman terhadap siklus hidrologi dalam penjadwalan irigasi yang tepat untuk memenuhi nutrisi tanaman padi serta efisiensi penggunaan air yang berkelanjutan. Pada penelitian ini analisis neraca air dilakukan pada daerah irigasi Sei Belutu, Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai. Komponen utama yang digunakan di dalam analisis adalah ketersediaan air yaitu debit andalan yang dihitung dengan menggunakan metode F. J. Mock, dan kebutuhan air irigasi yang terdiri dari kebutuhan air konsumtif tanaman, kebutuhan air untuk penyiapan lahan, kebutuhan air untuk penggantian lapisan air, perkolasi, curah hujan efektif, efisiensi irigasi, dan luas lahan. Hasil evaluasi neraca air diperoleh besar debit andalan terkecil 1,80 m3/dt pada bulan Agustus dan terbesar 12,72 m3/dt pada bulan Oktober, sedangkan besar kebutuhan air irigasi terkecil adalah sebesar 1,98 m3/dt dan kebutuhan air irigasi terbesar adalah sebesar 11,01 m3/dt. Kebutuhan air di pintu pengambilan lebih besar daripada ketersediaan air yang ada untuk seluruh alternatif pola tanam. Hal ini akan mengakibatkan kurang maksimalnya pengairan daerah irigasi Sei Belutu seluas 5025 Ha. Permasalahan yang menyebabkan terjadinya kekurangan suplai air di lapangan adalah keberadaan daerah irigasi Malasari dan daerah irigasi Martebing yang juga memanfaatkan air dari Sungai Sei Belutu. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan peninjauan kembali dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan air irigasi di daerah irigasi Sei Belutu dengan mempertimbangkan perencanaan bendungan ataupun embung pada bagian hulu daerah irigasi.

Sob a temática Cuiabá 300 anos: Debates sobre Educação, Pesquisa e Inovações, esta edição especial da Revista de Educação Pública faz alusão à comemoração dos 300 anos da capital mato-grossense, ressaltando a cidade enquanto cenário de práticas educativas, no qual arquiteturas, instituições e práticas culturais sociais formam cidadãos em seus comportamentos, saberes, rituais e sonhos.Cuiabá, como as demais cidades, serve de inspiração para refletimos sobre como são apropriados os movimentos de sociabilidade que acontecem entre seus “atores, relações sociais, personagens, grupos, classes práticas de interação e de oposição, ritos e festas, comportamentos e hábitos” (PESAVENTO, 2007, p. 13). Em um movimento entre espaço-tempo, na compreensão do passado e planejamento de um futuro, a cidade sempre está a explicar o seu presente, conforme sinaliza Pesavento (2007).

O Oeste Catarinense, região criada oficialmente em 1917, foi historicamente marcado pelo descaso do poder público com o desenvolvimento da educação. Com isso, o ensino de Matemática nessa região tem enfrentado muitos desafios, o que nos motivou a investigar os desafios enfrentados por professoras de matemática entre 1970 e 1990. Guiadas pela História Oral, entrevistamos professoras que atuavam em escolas públicas estaduais à época. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e textualizadas, constituindo o documento-base do estudo. Como resultados, evidenciamos desafios de formação, profissão e ensino da matemática, os quais embasam uma versão da história do ensino em Santa Catarina.
