PEOPLE’S REASONS NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY GARDENS IN DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA
Authors: KORDON Sinan , MİLLER Patrick
Published: August 2023

Although community gardening provides numerous environmental, economic, health, and social benefits, public involvement and support are still not at the desired level for their permanency in cities. While there are numerous studies regarding people’s motivations to participate in community gardening, empirical research is very limited for people’s reasons not to participate in community gardening. For increased involvement and public support, knowledge about people’s reasons not to participate in community gardening is important. Using a survey instrument, this research identified people’s primary reasons that negatively influence their participation in community gardening in five disadvantaged neighborhoods of Roanoke, Virginia. Descriptive statistics, T-test, and factor analysis procedures were used at a 95% significance level. Results showed that the statements associated with “theft and damage”, “difficult access”, “too much effort”, and “no personal interest” were the main reasons not to participate in community gardening. Based on these, this research brings design and maintenance recommendations for the increase of more successful community garden projects. In the long term, this can contribute to the long-term survival of these landscapes in cities by providing higher public involvement and support for community garden projects.
Oral Health of Diabetic Patients
Authors: Liao Da-Ming , Chen Chieh
Published: August 2023

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), diabetes can increase the risk of oral diseases and other symptoms in the oral cavity. About one-fifth of tooth loss can be attributed to diabetes. Periodontal diseases include gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the acute or chronic inflammation of the gums, which is usually caused by dental plaques. Five major impacts on oral health by diabetes include gum disease, dry mouth or change in taste, infection, slow healing and periodontal disease. In addition, beside affecting blood sugar; periodontal disease is also closely related to cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are not only beneficial to cardiovascular and metabolism, but also can inhibit inflammation and diabetic patients.

In this paper, we have taken a use case in the healthcare domain for the determination of factors for an accurate range of HbA1c in diabetics’ treatment. Google Search Engine Application Program Interface (API), SerpAPI@ is evaluated for the execution of Compute engine in Google cloud. As a service in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the Compute Engine gives the accurate value in HbA1c in the work orchestration in Airflow (astronomer) of Apache and Cloud Composer. We have also developed the application layer for every work stream in python and application output is stored in Google Cloud Storage. The accuracy of diabetic range determination is calculated in python as a measure for the healthcare practitioner to provide the right line of treatment for diabetic patients. A python program is developed to connect to the Google Search with a wrapper of SerpAPI in the Google Cloud Scheduler and create the JSON file schema for parameterization of Search Engine API. The results are shared with customers in the healthcare domain. We have also addressed the challenges of diabetic treatment during long-term Covid-19.

Authors: Gunawan Prastiya Indra , Noviandi Riza , Samosir Sunny Mariana
Published: August 2023

Brain infection in children is still a major problem in Indonesia. The term acute encephalitis syndrome refers to a state of body heat with altered mental status and/or seizures. AES is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or other parasites. Data on AES incidents in Indonesia is still unclear. At Dr Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, which is one of the education centers in Indonesia, 30 cases were found in 2015.1 One of the viral etiology that causes AES is Japanese Encephalitis (JE). In 2014 the Ministry of Health in collaboration with WHO developed JE sentinel surveillance in Bali and four other at-risk provinces. In 2016, JE sentinel surveillance was expanded to 11 provinces. Surveillance data for JE cases in Indonesia in 2016 showed that there were nine provinces that reported JE cases, including the Provinces of Bali, West Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara, DKI Jakarta, DI Yogyakarta, Central Java, West Nusa Tenggara, and Riau Islands. . The results of sentinel surveillance 2016 in 11 provinces showed that there were 326 cases of AES with 43 cases (13%) of which were positive for JE. As many as 85% of JE cases in Indonesia are in the 15 year age group and 15% in the > 15 year age group. Most JE cases are in the province of Bali.
The Potential Health Benefits of Resistant Starch on Human Metabolism- A Narrative Review
Authors: Chen Chieh , Xie Meng-yu , Liao Da-Ming
Published: August 2023

Resistant starch, also known as water-soluble dietary fiber, has the advantages of both water-soluble and insoluble fibers. The characteristic of resistant starch is that resistant starch is difficult to be absorbed by the small intestine, so it will not increase blood sugar and has the effect of controlling blood sugar. Like dietary fiber, it is decomposed after entering the large bowel and becomes food for beneficial bacteria in the intestine, which contributes to intestinal health. Its functions include: delaying gastric emptying, preventing a sharp rise in blood sugar, lowering blood cholesterol, and the functions of insoluble dietary fiber include: increasing stool volume, promoting intestinal peristalsis, preventing constipation and hemorrhoids, preventing colorectal diverticulitis and colorectal cancer. The term resistant starch appeared in 1982, also known as difficult-to-digest starch or the third type of dietary fiber. Resistant starch cannot be decomposed by human digestive enzymes until the colon end. The heat generated by the fermentation and utilization of intestinal bacteria is much lower than that of ordinary starch, and the maximum heat generated per gram is no more than 2.8 kcal (ordinary starch is 4 kcal).
Exploring user reviews to identify accessibility problems in applications for autistic users
Authors: Santiago Mara Taynar , Marques Anna Beatriz
Published: August 2023

The Google Play Store provides various user reviews that can provide information about user experience, usability, and accessibility. Despite multiple studies addressing these reviews’ importance and contributions to improving interactive systems, accessibility for users with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is still little discussed in this context. Considering the potential of user reviews, this article presents a textual analysis of reviews extracted from eight educational applications available in Portuguese with a focus on autistic children, namely: “ABC Autismo”, “Aprendendo com Biel e seus amigos”, “AutApp Autismo”, “Autismo projeto integrar”, “Jade Autismo”, “Matraquinha”, “OTO (Olhar Tocar Ouvir)” and “Teacch.me”. We conducted an analysis based on the Guidelines for Accessible Interfaces for People with Autism (GAIA) and the BBC Mobile Accessibility Guidelines to classify user reviews.
Judith Le Soldat: Werkausgabe / Band 3: Raubmord und Verrat
Authors: Le Soldat Judith
Published: August 2023

Mit Band 3 der Werkausgabe wird Judith Le Soldats 1994 erstmals erschienene Theorie der ödipalen Entwicklung neu aufgelegt, und dies unter dem von der Autorin ursprünglich vorgesehenen Titel ›Raubmord und Verrat‹. Denn anders als der etwas sperrige Titel der längst vergriffenen Erstausgabe (›Eine Theorie menschlichen Unglücks‹), wirft uns Raubmord und Verrat mitten ins Geschehen – die inneren Verhängnisse nämlich, in die wir uns Le Soldat zufolge im Verlaufe der ödipalen Entwicklung unvermeidlich verstricken. Es ist auch kein Zufall, dass der Titel an einen Kriminalroman erinnert: Denn mit Raubmord und Verrat sind nicht nur zwei bedeutsame Ereignisse des inneren, ödipalen Plots benannt – auch die Methode, mit der die Autorin ans Werk geht, erinnert an die akribische Spurensuche eines Detektivs. Schauplatz des Geschehens ist nichts Anderes als »Irmas Injektion« – Freuds Initialtraum der Psychoanalyse. Was Le Soldat hier aufdeckt, enthüllt ein ganz anderes und unvergleichlich heftigeres Drama als es die klassischen psychoanalytischen Konzepte zum Ödipuskomplex bisher annehmen ließen.
Tätigkeiten und Strukturen des Bewusstseins
Authors: Ebersbach Christina
Published: August 2023

Vorbereitend auf die ›Wissenschaftslehre‹ hat Fichte in Berlin begonnen, eine Vorlesung namens ›Thatsachen des Bewußtseyns‹ zu halten. Darin untersucht er den Zusammenhang der einzelnen, faktischen Bewusstseinsmomente und -vollzüge zum Ganzen des Wissens, das die ›Thatsachen‹ darstellen sollen. Indem das Bewusstsein den Blick von den Objekten auf die eigene Tätigkeit und deren gesetzliche Struktur wendet, soll es lernen, worin Wissen überhaupt besteht. Die bislang wenig rezipierte Vorlesung etabliert damit den Gegenstand der ›Wissenschaftslehre‹ und ist so eine sachlich notwendige Hinführung zum Kernstück von Fichtes Philosophie. Mit dieser Arbeit liegt die erste umfassende Interpretation der ›Thatsachen‹ von 1810/11 vor, eine Art Reiseführer zu der Bewusstseinsreise, zu der Fichte seine Hörer und Leser einlädt.
Melanchthons Briefwechsel / Textedition. Band T 20: Texte 5643-5969 (Oktober 1549–Dezember 1550)
Authors: Melanchthon Philipp
Published: August 2023

Das von Kaiser Karl V. erlassene Interim sorgt 1549 weiter für erhebliche Unruhe. Melanchthon ist zu Zugeständnissen in den Adiaphora bereit, um die Reinheit der Lehre zu bewahren und Kriegsgefahr abzuwenden. Angesichts der Vertreibung protestantischer Pfarrer aus Straßburg und Schwaben ist die Unsicherheit groß: Wie viele Zugeständnisse sind vertretbar, ohne eigene Glaubensüberzeugungen zu verraten? Von vielen Seiten wird Melanchthon um Rat gefragt. Doch er sieht sich auch heftigen Anfeindungen durch bisherige Freunde wie Nikolaus von Amsdorf und Matthias Flacius ausgesetzt, die das Interim rundheraus ablehnen und keinerlei Kompromisse tolerieren. Die Sorge um den Bestand und die Einheit der evangelischen Lehre macht Melanchthon auch gesundheitlich zu schaffen. Doch tröstet ihn, dass an der Wittenberger Universität weiterhin die unveränderte Lehre verbreitet wird.
Der Denker und sein Glaube
Authors: Traub Hartmut
Published: August 2023

Erstmals in der Fichte-Forschung legt Traub den Einfluss pietistischen Gedankenguts auf Fichtes Philosophie und dessen akademisches und politisches Selbstverständnis dar. Belege dafür sind etwa Fichtes Befürworten einer Personalisierung und Popularisierung des Glaubenswissens, die Innerlichkeitskultur moraltheologischer und rationaler Selbstprüfung oder der Primat der »praxis pietatis«. Im Zentrum steht die Analyse der kaum beachteten konfessionellen Aspekte von Fichtes Bildungsbiographie: in Herkunftsmilieu, Schule und Universität. Besonders mit Fichtes frühen Arbeiten zur Dogmatik und Christologie weist Traub nach, dass Fichte weit vor seiner Kant-Lektüre über eine konfessionell geprägte theologisch-philosophische Orientierung verfügte, die jedes angemessene Verständnis seiner späteren Philosophie berücksichtigen muss.
Evaluation of Empirical Antifungal Treatments in Patients with Neutropenic Fever in Imam Hossein Hospital, Tehran, 2017 - 2018
Authors: Hadavand Fahimeh , Shoaei Simin Dokht , Noroozi Hamid
Published: August 2023

Background: Invasive fungal infections are among the most important causes of death in patients with neutropenic fever. Early detection of the cause of neutropenia and appropriate treatment, including experimental antifungal therapy, plays a key role in reducing mortality and cutting financial costs for the individual and society. Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 33 patients with fever and neutropenia who received antifungal drugs (including Amphotericin B, Voriconazole, Caspofungin, and Fluconazole) were evaluated. Neutropenia was defined as episodes of fever (axillary temperature > 38.2°C or oral temperature > 37.7°C) and neutrophil count < 500 /μL persistent for five days despite antibacterial therapy without an infectious etiology. For statistical analysis, SPSS software version 21 was used. Results: In this study, out of 33 neutropenic patients receiving antifungal therapy, a fungal agent was defined in 19 patients (59%). Mucor species was the most common cause of fungal infections, followed by aspergillus and candida. Liposomal Amphotericin B and Caspofungin were the most common antifungal agents used for treating patients with neutropenic fever. Antifungal therapy in neutropenic patients resulted in 50% recovery and 50% mortality. Statistical analysis showed that neutropenic patients did not have a significant difference in response to treatments based on age groups and gender. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of experimental therapy in neutropenic patients based on clinical criteria and risk factors, and with a diagnostic approach, rather than general treatment.
Fichte’s Contribution to German Aesthetics
Authors: Hosseini Seyed Masoud ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2023

In aesthetics/philosophy of art, Fichte did not produce works as great as Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment or Hegel’s Lectures on Aesthetics. As a result, it was long believed that he had no role to play in the aesthetics of German idealism. Nevertheless, there are a few works in which we can identify the materials for developing an innovative philosophy of art. In this article, it is argued that Fichte takes two fundamental steps in aesthetics: 1) by transferring the weight of the discussion of aesthetics to the philosophy of artistic creation, he makes, as it were, a Copernican revolution in aesthetics and thus transforms the aesthetics of taste into a philosophy of art based on the creative spirit; 2) he raises the status of aesthetics (in fact, the aesthetic sense) to the level of “a (or the) condition for the possibility of philosophy.”

Authors:   Department of Philology, School of Humanities and Cultural Studies, University of Peloponnese [Greece], Korea Maria Drossinou
Published: August 2023

Procrastination is mainly defined by cognitive factors and significantly affects the performance of students with specific learning difficulties [SpLDs]. The individual method of study seems to be influenced by other factors, such as cognitive- emotional abilities and learning motivation. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between procrastination and the individual method of study, with emphasis on the comprehension of academic texts using the pedagogical tool. The use is according with the principles of Targeted Individual Structured Differentiated integration program for teaching students with specific learning difficulties [TISDPfSpLDs]. The participants N=411 undergraduate students come from the departments of the School of Humanities and Cultural Studies of the University of Peloponnese [Kalamata] and from the departments of the Agricultural University of Athens [AUA]. The results showed that procrastination is part of the reading behaviors in reading comprehension with which students’ [SpLDs] are familiar in their individual study method. The conclusions highlight the beneficial effects of training on metacognitive skills using the TISDPfSpLDs, because they help control emotional and academic procrastination.
Existence of positive solutions for Brezis-Nirenberg type problems involving an inverse operator
Authors: Alvarez-Caudevilla Pablo , Colorado Eduardo , Ortega Alejandro
Published: August 2023

This article concerns the existence of positive solutions for thesecond order equation involving a nonlocal term $$ -\Delta u=\gamma (-\Delta)^{-1} u+|u|^{p-1}u, $$ under Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence of positive solutions depending on the positive real parameter \(\gamma>0\), and up to the critical value of the exponent \(p\), i.e. when \(1<p\leq 2^*-1\), where \(2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}\) is the critical Sobolev exponent. For \(p=2^*-1\), this leads us to a Brezis-Nirenberg type problem, cf. \cite{BN}, but, in our particular case, the linear term is a nonlocal term. The effect that this nonlocal term has on the equation changes the dimensions for which the classical technique based on the minimizers of the Sobolev constant, that ensures the existence of positive solution, going from dimensions \(N\geq 4\) in the classical Brezis-Nirenberg problem, to dimensions \(N\geq7\) for this nonlocal problem.

Reorientação internacional: a política externa chilena do regime militar e da Concertación
Authors: Mendelski Bruno , Becker Gustavo
Published: August 2023

Este artigo busca identificar o grau de mudança na política externa chilena entre o regime militar, vigente de 1973 a 1990, e os governos da Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia, que estiveram à frente do Chile entre 1990 e 2010. Para tanto, emprega-se o modelo de análise de política externa de Charles Hermann (1990), que classifica as modificações em quatro níveis e aponta seus possíveis determinantes. A pesquisa utiliza-se do método comparativo e se fundamenta na análise de documentos, artigos, livros e dados sobre viagens presidenciais, tratados bilaterais e comércio exterior. A investigação é complementada por uma entrevista ao ex-embaixador chileno Carlos Portales Cifuentes. Com base na análise, constata-se que, a partir da redemocratização, o Chile sofre uma reorientação internacional. Os princípios orientadores da sua política externa e o estilo da sua diplomacia alteram-se, e há uma transição da condição de isolamento político-diplomático e da postura defensiva à pressão externa para uma inserção múltipla e diversificada.
Border studies and International Relations Theories: an emancipatory framework
Authors: Ludwig Fernando José
Published: August 2023

Throughout the history of International Relations, borders have been marginalised both practically and, to a greater extent, theoretically. On the one hand, conceptualizations of borders are typically subordinate to other ideas within the field, such as sovereignty, territory, security, conflict, and peace. On the other hand, it is frequently regarded as a source of conflict or simply as a geographical boundary. Thus, it is not surprising that this situation of marginalisation (conventional view of boundaries) produced a hegemonic perspective on borders until the conclusion of the Cold War. Nonetheless, the rearrangement of the international system and the expansion of regional integration resulted in a more dynamic, complex, and multidimensional outline. This work seeks to answer the following research question: in what ways would a perspective contribute to the field of border studies? It is proposed that such a theoretical framework would reassign border studies from an underlying to a fundamental premise, elevating them to a more significant level. This reinterpretation has direct and indirect effects on border politics in practice.
A “questão democrática” entre o STF e o Bolsonarismo
Authors: Perez Reginaldo Teixeira , Barbosa Luis Guilherme Camfield , Farias Thieser da Silva , Müller Gustavo , Oliveira Mateus Tuzzin de
Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem como objeto a “questão democrática” no período abarcado pelo Governo Bolsonaro (2019-2022). Pressupõe-se que a sua matriz institucional – o Estado de Direito – foi maculada, destacadamente, no equilíbrio entre os poderes da República. Com o emprego metodológico interpretativo de fontes secundárias e da análise linguística de um documento de conteúdo jurídico (voto exarado pelo ex-ministro Celso de Mello, do STF), taquigrafam-se: (1) as crises do tecido democrático no âmbito internacional – o que teria alcançado o Brasil, e (2) a posição do Poder Judiciário brasileiro diante de arroubos autoritários do Poder Executivo. Emerge um dilema desse exame: à confirmação das instituições democráticas, é possível que o Poder Judiciário tenha se excedido no que tange ao controle do direito à manifestação. Independentemente disso, conclui-se que o Supremo Tribunal Federal teve um papel fundamental, senão exclusivo, no suporte à democracia nesse conturbado período histórico do Brasil.
La relación del liderazgo y las demandas legitimadoras de la precarización democrática paraguaya
Authors: Bourscheid Junior Ivan
Published: August 2023

Ese estudio busca comprender por qué las respuestas de Fernando Lugo a las demandas que pautaron la crisis de 2012 le sacaron del Ejecutivo nacional pero mantuvieron su espacio de liderazgo. Las cuestiones centrales abordadas se refieren al rol del liderazgo de Lugo y la centralidad de su figura en la política paraguaya desde 2008, para entender las dinámicas recientes del régimen democrático paraguayo a partir de la actuación de ese liderazgo. Para lograr esos objetivos el estudio utiliza las herramientas del análisis de discurso de una entrevista focalizada y en profundidad, semiestructurada con guion más cerrado, realizada con el expresidente Lugo. También se utiliza el análisis de discurso para algunos editoriales del periódico ABC Color, para ayudar a comprender las principales demandas surgidas en el escenario de la crisis de 2012. Otra herramienta metodológica usada es la estadística descriptiva, para datos sobre las relaciones de posesión de la tierra y sobre comportamiento político paraguayo. Será observado que las dos demandas que legitimaron la deposición de Lugo – seguridad y soberanía – y su forma de actuar – al buscar moderar y alejándose de respuestas de fuerza – resultaron contrarias a lo buscado por la coalición conservadora, posicionando Lugo como su principal opositor.

É muito difícil não identificar relações, diálogos, importações de ideias e práticas entre aqueles movimentos de direita e extrema direita ocorridos na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, em direção ao Brasil e a outros países latino-americanos. Para o caso brasileiro, cabe lembrar, a título de exemplo, o caso dos camisas-verdes, movimento de inspiração fascista que teve impacto no Brasil e mobilizou intelectuais e políticos em torno de uma perspectiva autoritária, de viés racista, além de outras concepções marcantes nesse tipo de compreensão de mundo, geradoras de propostas políticas elitistas e violentas. Não se pode esquecer ainda que em um mundo cada vez mais conectado, a circulação de ideias e contatos pessoais se intensificaram de forma rápida e impactante.

Published: August 2023

Much is to be improved in implementing the Senior Citizens Laws in the Philippines, more so that the Filipino elderly did not fully realize their benefits and privileges. Using a descriptive-survey design, this study determined the knowledge, access, and utilization of the programs under Republic Act 9994 of the aging rural household farmers in Bukidnon. The researchers employed systematic sampling of the 80 respondents in Barangay Imbatug, Baungon, and Bukidnon. Results showed the majority of the respondents were 72 years old, mostly females (65%), married (53%), and did not finish elementary education (53%). The respondents were either farmer-owner (43%) or laborers (45%). Their monthly income is less than 5,000 (82%). The majority were Catholics (68%) and had good health conditions (43%). The aging farmers had limited knowledge of their benefits. The majority of the respondents had low and minimal knowledge due to low educational attainment, low income, and delicate health condition. Their access to the benefits and privileges is hampered due to the distance of their homes and lack of money to pay for transportation, the absence of big establishments in their area, and the limited information they acquire; thus, they fail to enjoy their benefits. Their sex, education, health condition, and income had a significant relationship to their knowledge score. However, their sociodemographic profile was unrelated to their benefits access. This means that the respondents’ knowledge had something to do with their gender, education, health condition, and income.

Russia and the West as a conceptual opposition in terms of Russian mentality
Authors: Lvov Alexander
Published: August 2023

The conceptual framework for the discussion the paper introduces is the idea of Russian messianism, which appeared in each period of Russian history, as well as the following characteristic of Russian mentality: the concepts and ideas, which appeared within the domains of social and legal in the West, were interpreted in spiritual and moral context in Russia. The paper traces the development of two aspects of how the conceptual opposition of Russia to the "collective West" was formed. The first aspect is connected with the cultural opposition of Russia to the Western countries in terms of spiritual heredity of the West. The aspect concerns the conceptualization of "the West" as an embodiment of a competitor of Russia in the modifications of the "big project".
War in Ukraine as a long-term effect of NATO intervention against Yugoslavia? An overview
Authors: Costamagna Christian
Published: August 2023

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 can also be traced back to historical processes and not only to contingent causes. In this paper, I will try to understand whether it is possible to argue that the current armed conflict in Ukraine is a long-term effect of the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The aim of the research is to critically analyze the interpretations that see in the NATO intervention against Yugoslavia a historical turning point and what consequences it had. The research is based on the current scholarly literature and on the speeches of Russian state officials, and is carried out adopting an historical approach and a comparative method.
The political system of Russia between democratization and authoritarianism
Authors: Bujwid-Kurek Ewa , Susolia Artem
Published: August 2023

The main research objective of this article was to assess the nature of the democratization of Russia's political system in the period 1985-2000. The authors analyze the selected period of the transformation in Russia based on the concept of S. Huntington, considered the most adequate theory of democratization. The authors attempted to answer following questions: what changes occurred during the "Perestroika" process initiated by M. Gorbachev - unsuccessful liberalization for Soviet Russia and "started" the Third wave of democratization of the Russian Federation; secondly, what was the specificity of the democratization of the political system during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin; and lastly, when the retreat from democratization began in Russia. This analysis seems quite sensible due to the fact that it can explain the reasons for the retreat from democracy during the presidency of V. Putin and the construction of an authoritarian state in Russia in the 21st century. In order to verify the hypotheses and answer the research questions, the classic method for the social sciences was chosen (the decision-making, systemic, and case study methods).

Authors: Sato Michéle , Dos Santos José Eduardo
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo se encuentra basado en la Teoría Crítica, que revisa la acción y participación como prioridad de la Educación Ambiental (EA) emancipadora. Con un breve desarrollo de la evolución de la EA, se describe un proyecto de investigación realizado en el Estado de Mato Grosso (Brasil), tomando I O escuelas rurales. A través de la investigación acción. se buscó ofrecer apoyo a la práctica educativa de la EA en la formación continua de profesores. Estableciendo la integración de la enseñanza de grado y posgrado, se utilizó la disciplina de "Ciencias" para desarrollar acciones que pudieran promover la alianza entre la es cuela y su entorno, rescatando la participación como el gran desafío del ambientalismo.

Educación Ambiental y Medios de Comunicación Social: El Periodismo Científico y Ambiental en la agenda de las universidades argentinas, latinoamericanas y españolas
Authors: Alperin Sara E. , Bonino Emma E. , Jarchum Lorena , Videla Verónica , Litvinoff Mariana
Published: August 2023

El mundo actual, con su sucesión de desastres naturales, pobreza y alarma por la escasez de recursos naturales necesita de los medios de comunicación social para mantener informada y actualizada a la sociedad acerca del origen y consecuencias de los problemas ambientales. Esto implica un compromiso de los medios de comunicación con la educación del público a través del tratamiento de las noticias ambientales y con la educación en biología por la vinculación estrecha entre los temas biológicos y ambientales. Sin embargo, en los medios de Argentina se observa un escaso y superficial tratamiento de las noticias ambientales, situación que requiere, para revertirse, de periodistas capacitados. Por esta razón, se exploró la oferta educativa de grado y posgrado en Periodismo Ambiental y Científico en Argentina, ampliándose el estudio a universidades de Latinoamérica y España. La oferta educativa es casi nula en Argentina, mues escasa en Latinoamérica y relativamente mayor en España.

Evaluación de la calidad de programas colaborativos a través de Internet como recurso para la Educación Ambiental
Authors: Ojeda Barceló Fernando , Perales Palacios Francisco Javier
Published: August 2023

Las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación pueden constituir una herramienta de primer orden para la Educación Ambiental, pero todavía no existen estudios suficientes que valoren el grado de eficacia de los programas educativos que se están poniendo en marcha. Un ejemplo de estas herramientas son los programas colaborativos internacionales a través de Internet. El objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es ofrecer una propuesta metodológica de evaluación de este tipo de programas a partir del estudio pormenorizado del programa “ENO Environmental On-Line” que es uno de los más relevantes que se encuentran actualmente a disposición de los docentes de secundaria. La evaluación aborda ocho aspectos clave que van desde la metodología empleada hasta la reflexión sobre aspectos técnicos del mismo.
Innovación Educativa en la Enseñanza de la Biología en el Ciclo Básico Unificado
Authors: Aiassa Dalia , Aun Liliana
Published: August 2023

Se presenta una innovación curricular en la enseñanza de la Biología llevada a cabo en el Ciclo Básico Unificado de un Colegio de la ciudad de Río Cuarto, en la provincia de Córdoba. En esta innovación los contenidos conceptuales se consideran eje vertebrador, alrededor del cual se trabajan de manera integrada los procedimientos y actitudes, y se inicia el estudio de la Biología desde una unidad central: el organismo. Comienza con una caracterización general de los organismos, continua con biodiversidad, nociones de funcionamiento indispensables para la vida y relaciones de parentesco y ecológicas. Los mencionados contenidos están vinculados con nociones de salud y cuidados del ambiente necesarios para mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos. Se presentan estrategias de aprendizaje, evaluación de aprendizajes y se plantea cómo se evaluará esta propuesta.

La enseñanza de la Química Orgánica en las carreras del Profesorado y la Licenciatura en Ciencias Biológicas
Authors: Cazón Ada V. , Juarez Victor D. , Moreno Carmen C.
Published: August 2023

La enseñanza de la Química Orgánica ha despertado opiniones diversas respecto de sus contenidos y de las estrategias de enseñanza utilizadas por los docentes para favorecer la construcción de los mismos. Con el propósito de lograr la vinculación de los saberes propios de la Química Orgánica y los de la Biología, se implementaron clases teóricas, clases de resolución de problemas, trabajos prácticos de laboratorio obligatorios y un trabajo final sobre temáticas de interés de los alumnos. Esta modalidad de cursado favoreció el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes reflejado en el aumento de retención. Es aconsejable para el desarrollo de las clases, una carga horaria cuatrimestral de al menos 7 horas semanales.
Innovación educativa y reflexión sobre la Naturaleza de la Ciencia en escenarios de formación de Profesores de Ciencias Naturales
Authors: Ferragutti Silvana , Astudillo Carola , Pastorino Isabel
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo explora el papel otorgado a la Naturaleza de la Ciencia (NdC) en propuestas de enseñanza elaboradas por docentes que finalizaron la Diplomatura Superior en Enseñanza de Prácticas Experimentales en Ciencias (UNRC). A través de un análisis documental, se identificaron los ejes de NdC contemplados en las propuestas y se caracterizaron alcances y limitaciones de las Actividades Prácticas de Laboratorio (APL) incluidas. Los resultados señalan que, en su mayoría, las producciones recuperan, tanto en fundamentaciones como en actividades, aspectos epistemológicos, sociológicos e históricos, aunque con diferentes alcances y niveles de integración y argumentación. En el análisis de las fases estructurales de las APL se identificaron rasgos innovadores que coexisten con perspectivas clásicas, lineales, aproblemáticas y descontextualizadas.

Textos de biología y explicaciones del mundo biológico
Authors: Bar Anibal
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto indagar sobre los modelos de explicación científica que se reproducen en los libros de texto de biología del nivel medio; como asimismo, las modelizaciones que éstos transmiten acerca de los seres vivos y sus manifestaciones. Se analizan 11 textos para el concepto de tropismo: 9 para absorción, transpone y transpiración; y 8 para fotosíntesis. Cada una de las explicaciones se clasifican en, causales. causales funcionales y funcionales, según la clase de vínculos entre variables. Se relaciona cada clase de explicación con los tipos de conceptos implicados y la población estudiantil a la cual va dirigida. Se discuten las implicancias metodológicas y epistemológicas de los conceptos analizados desde diferentes perspectivas, en las que se incluyen la referencia a modelos mecánicos, procesuales y teleonómicos.
