Case Report: Spinal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Rare Complication of Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome
Authors: Lo Shih-Hao , Chen Pei-Ting , Yu Wan-Jin , Hsieh Ke-Syuan , Chen Tun-Chieh
Published: February 2021

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), caused by hantavirus, is occasionally seen in tropical areas. The virus is carried by specific rodent host species. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is characterized by renal failure and hemorrhagic manifestations, and its complications may be severe, including massive bleeding, multi-organ dysfunction, and possibly death. In this patient case, a 46-year-old woman diagnosed with HFRS initially presented with fever, impaired renal function, and thrombocytopenia. Four days after symptom onset, the patient complained of abrupt right lower abdominal pain and numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) beyond the T7 to S2 vertebrae. No cases of spinal SAH in HFRS have been reported until now. This case demonstrates that when a patient’s symptoms are atypical, bleeding-related complications must be considered.
The COVID-19 Pandemic in Peru: What Went Wrong?
Authors: Schwalb Alvaro , Seas Carlos
Published: February 2021

Despite the early adoption of a national lockdown and other restrictions, Peru has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Having reached a milestone of more than 1,200 deaths per one million inhabitants by February 2021, important messages can be learned from how the pandemic was handled. Possible explanations for poor outcomes are a fragmented and already overwhelmed public health sector, lack of infrastructure and specialized personnel to tackle the pandemic, and deficient leadership from health authorities.
Structure, Form and Organisation for the Evaluation of Curriculum
Authors: Broomes Desmond
Published: February 2021

Curriculum development and evaluation activities are inextricably inter­woven. Evaluation gathers and systematically orders evidence so that teachers and other curriculum workers may make decisions about the state of the learner, about organising and teaching subject matter, and about learning-outcomes. Thus the structure, form, and organisation for evaluation of the curriculum are most usefully described not as separate, distinct entities removed from curricu­lum activities, but as the way by which the persons (in particular teachers), materials and machinery are brought together for certain purposes. And all these purposes may be realised through enabling schools to become directly in tune with the world as it is.
Environmental and Other Factors Affecting the Performance in Mathematics of Third-year Students in Jamaican Post-Primary Schools
Authors: Isaacs Ian
Published: February 2021

The aim of this study is to examine the psychological and environmental vari­ables which are related to the mathematics achievement of third-year students in Jamaican post-primary schools. A correlational study of the inter-relations of thirteen independent variables with the criterion, mathematics achievement, was factor-analysed to produce four factors which account for most of the variation in mathematical performance. These four factors are related to (i) the social en­vironment of the student; (ii) affective personality traits characterised by the student's perception of his ability to do mathematics; (iii) the teachers of mathe­matics; and (iv) the degree of the urbanisation of the school's community.

Authors: Ochoa Chang Milán , Matarán Torres Ana Cecilia
Published: February 2021

Santiago de Cuba es una de las provincias con mejores resultados deportivos en toda la historia cubana. El béisbol una de las disciplinas vanguardias en este sentido, sin embargo, en los últimos años, tales logros se han visto afectados. Múltiples son las respuestas que técnicos, investigadores y especialistas han intentado ofrecerles a estos desafortunados acontecimientos. El béisbol juvenil no ha estado exento a esta problemática y, en tal sentido, la Piscología del Deporte ha ocupado un papel importante en el estudio y búsqueda de alternativas científicas que contribuyan a revertir estos resultados. Durante los tres últimos años se han observado manifestaciones elevadas de ansiedad competitiva en beisbolistas de esta categoría. Este hecho motiva la presente investigación, que pretende diagnosticar rigurosamente cómo se ha estado presentado esta emoción negativa en dicha población. Para cumplimentar el objetivo se seleccionó como muestra a los 25 integrantes del equipo juvenil santiaguero. El estudio es descriptivo pudiéndose registrar, analizar y describir las características generales y observables de la ansiedad en momentos reales de las sesiones de entrenamiento y las competencias. Se apoya en la metodología cuali-cuantitativa empleando técnicas psicológicas como la observación, entrevista, CSAI-2, los tests Actitud para la Competencia, Apreciación del tiempo y la Pulsometría. En la evaluación realizada se evidenció que existe una elevada incidencia de ansiedad competitiva reflejada a través de manifestaciones cognitivas, fisiológicas y conductuales lo cual impone el reto futuro de regular tales comportamientos que permitan mejorar el resultado competitivo.

Authors: Krug Marilia de Rosso , Krug Hugo Norberto , Garces Solange Beatriz Billig , Nunes Veridiane
Published: February 2021

Considerada o estágio mais avançado do estresse, a Síndrome de Burnout tem afetado inúmeras profissões, principalmente aquelas que possuem contato direto com pessoas. Dentre essas profissões, pode-se citar o professor de Educação Física. Assim, o presente estudo objetivou analisar a presença ou não de Síndrome de Burnout em professores de Educação Física que atuam na Educação Básica de um município do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil). Foram sujeitos do estudo dezesseis professores de Educação Física. Para avaliação da Síndrome de Burnout foi utilizada a escala desenvolvida e inspirada no Maslach Burnout Inventory – MBI. Os dados foram tratados por meio da estatística inferencial. Para identificação das diferenças entre os grupos (redes de ensino, jornada de trabalho e tempo de docência) foi utilizado o teste do qui-quadrado (p≤0,05). Quanto ao perfil dos professores dez eram mulheres e seis eram homens, tendo a maioria (60%) idade de 41 a 50 anos, com jornada de trabalho de 40 horas, com tempo de atuação de 11 a 20 anos, atuando em duas redes de ensino, municipal e estadual. Encontrou-se um alto percentual de professores com níveis médios na dimensão exaustão emocional, níveis baixos para a despersonalização e para a realização pessoal o que indica a não presença da Síndrome de Burnout, já que para a ocorrência da Síndrome de Burnout os escores deveriam ser altos para exaustão emocional e despersonalização e baixos para realização pessoal.
Corrupción y formas de gobierno
Authors: Jiménez-Blanco Carrillo de Albornoz Antonio
Published: February 2021

Entre las causas de la corrupción las hay o puede haber culturales, estructurales e institucionales. Cabe preguntarse si, dentro de estas últimas, se encuentra la que distingue, dentro de los Estados democráticos, entre formas de gobierno presidencialistas y parlamentarias. En el bien entendido de que la comparación, aplicada a un determinado país, no puede hacerse sobre magnitudes homogéneas, porque estamos comparando una realidad y una mera conjetura.

El autor parte de la base de España (un régimen parlamentario según la Constitución de 1978) y en la que todos los indicadores, sea cual fuere su grado de fiabilidad, arrojan unos elevados índices de corrupción, sobre todo en el período de expansión económica 1996-2008.

El trabajo, que por supuesto comienza poniendo de relieve la dificultad de ofrecer un concepto preciso y universal de corrupción, así como la convergencia entre ambas formas de gobierno, concluye que entre las causas institucionales de la corrupción no tiene por qué encontrarse la forma de gobierno. Y en particular sostiene la idea de que el parlamentarismo no significa necesariamente una mejora con respecto al presidencialismo.

Marriage & Family Therapy Students Learning Qualitative Research: Frameworks Identified Through Participatory-Observation
Authors: Pratt Dawn , Dolbin-MacNab Megan
Published: February 2021

In this study, we used participant-observation to achieve grounded theory as we constructed a model outlining how marriage and family therapy graduate students learn qualitative research methods. We identified three major learning frameworks: Pragmatism, Ethics/Morality, and Identity of the Researcher. We also found that certain learning modalities are most congruent for students holding these major frameworks. “Critical learning incidences” appeared to cause a shift or r e -balancing of students ’ frameworks as they learn qualitative research. Application of these findings may help guide instructors who are teaching students with little previous exposure qualitative methodology. Recommendations for future research are also included.
The Five-Question Method For Framing A Qualitative Research Study
Authors: McCaslin Mark , Scott Karen
Published: February 2021

The Five-Question Method is an approach to framing Qualitative Research, focusing on the methodologies of five of the major traditions in qualitative research: biography, ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case study. Asking Five Questions, novice researchers select a methodology appropriate to the desired perspective on the selected topic. The Method facilitates identifying and writing a Problem Statement. Through taking a future perspective, the researcher discovers the importance and direction of the study and composes a Purpose Statement. The process develops an overarching research question integrating the purpose and the research problem. The role of the researcher and management of assumptions and biases is discussed. The Five-Question Method simplifies the framing process promoting quality in qualitative research design. A course outline is appended.

AGARICOMYCETES MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS WITH POTENTIAL NEUROPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY GROWING IN ARMENIA
Authors: Badalyan S.M. , Rapior S.
Published: February 2021

The Agaricomycetes mushrooms (phylum Basidiomycota) are recognised sources of valuable food and medicines. They are producers of bioactive compounds (phenolics, polysaccharides, proteins, steroids, terpenoids, etc.) possessing around 130 therapeutic effects (antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, etc.). Mushrooms are also reported as potential neurotrophic and neuroprotective agents. Seventeen edible and inedible agaricomycetous species from different taxonomic and ecological groups have been reported in Armenia to possess neuroprotective activity. Evaluation resource value and biotechnological potential of Armenian agaricomycetous mushrooms will assist further development of novel myco-pharmaceuticals to prevent and mitigate different disorders, including neurodegenerative.
BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN DENATURATION IN THE PRESENCE OF HOECHST 33258 AND METHYLENE BLUE
Authors: Vardevanyan P.O. , Mikaelyan M.S. , Petrosyan N.H.
Published: February 2021

The interaction of Hoechst 33258 (H33258) and methylene blue (MB) compounds with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied using the method of thermal denaturation. The obtained data showed that both ligands form complexes with BSA, moreover, MB binds to BSA stronger than H33258. Furthermore, H33258 destabilizes, while MB stabilizes the native structure of protein, leading to the decrease and increase of the denaturation temperature of BSA respectively.
SOIL MICROBIAL BIOMASS AND ENZYME ACTIVITIES RESPONSE TO COPPER AND MOLYBDENUM POLLUTION IN THE VICINITY OF ZANGEZUR COPPER AND MOLYBDENUM COMBINE, ARMENIA
Authors: Ghazaryan K.A. , Movsesyan H.S.
Published: February 2021

The aim of this study was to define a relationship between heavy metal (Cu, Mo) pollution of soil and various extracellular enzyme activities. Six enzymatic activities involved in cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur (β-glucosidase, chitinase, leucine-aminopeptidase, acid phosphomonoesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, and arylsulphatase) as well as microbial biomass were determined in soil samples collected in the surroundings of Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine. The investigations showed that pollution of soil with copper and molybdenum led to a decrease in microbial biomass and soil enzymatic activity, which in turn had a negative impact on cycles of chemical elements, in particular C, P, N and S. This gives reason to conclude that the changes in soil microbial biomass and enzymatic activity may act as indicators of soil biological activity and quality.

The Religion Faith of the Kyrgyzs
Authors: Aidaraliev Amantur
Published: February 2021

Kyrgyzstan is a multi-ethnic and multi-faith society. This study highlights the role of religion in the development of Kyrgyz society in the XXth Century and the revival of it in the XXIst Century. In former USSR (Soviet Union) countries, these periods called “pre-Soviet era”, “Soviet-era” and “post-Soviet era”. The whole period during which the Kyrgyzs was exposed to Islam and adopted the faith divided into the following stages: i) from 9th to 14th centuries, ii) from 15th century to the second half of the 18th century, iii) from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century, iv) from 1918 to 1991 (Soviet-era, atheism period), v) from 31 August 1991 (the date of the Independence Day and the collapse of the Soviet Era) to 2000, vi) from 2000 to present (Revival of Islam and other sects). The study discusses the development of islam in Kyrgyzstan at the above periods. Also, the development of post-Soviet democratic reforms in the Kyrgyz Republic has enabled the provision of many Islamic literatures, basic human rights, including the right to religious freedom. A democratic and open atmosphere in post-Soviet time had increased faith of true believers, however, is also attracted all kinds of non-traditional religious sects and groups. Thus, religion policy is used for various strategic and ideological dimensions and the role of religion in politics and in the life of society must be considered as one of the most important topic.

Authors: Mbithe Dr. Pauline , Mwabu Dr. Prof. Germano , Awiti Mr. Maurice
Published: February 2021

Purpose: The study was an examination of the impact of structural adjustment programs on agricultural growth in Kenya.Methodology: The study examined the short run and long run determinants of agricultural sector performance in Kenya. To achieve this, the study use time series regression modeling for data spanning from 1975 to 2010. Tests of normality, unit roots test and cointergration test was applied to determine the properties of the data.  Upon proof of cointergration, an error correction model was estimated to link the short run and the long run relationships.Results: The results indicated that structural adjustment programme (SAPs) had a negative and significant long run effect on per capita agriculture GDP.  The study concluded that Post Election Violence had a negative and significant long run effect on the per capital agriculture GDP. The study also concluded that the lagged per capital agricultural performance had a positive and significant effect on the per capita agricultural performance. The results also led to the conclusion that the long run per capita agricultural growth may be linked to the short run growth by an error correction term of -0.242583 which indicates that 0.242% of the disequilibria in short run per capita agricultural sector GDP achieved in one period are corrected in the subsequent period. The results also led to the conclusion that weather indicators (temperature and precipitation), and per capita infrastructure did not have a significant effect on the short run and long run per capita Agricultural GDP.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that some harmful policies need to be eliminated such as the removal of subsidies. Other policy recommendations are to enhance the adaptation of privatized agricultural institutions; encouragement of value addition in primary agricultural products; non price mechanisms such as infrastructure should be encouraged especially in the rural areas; and enhancement of the political stability of the country especially during electioneering years.

Etnografia fantasma: Considerações acerca de narrativas e experiências sobre seres intangíveis no Centro Histórico de São Luís
Authors: Lages Gonçalves Gabriela
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo reúno considerações sobre minha pesquisa de mestrado, realizada entre 2017 e 2019, que buscou enfatizar leituras, experiências e narrativas sobre os edificações históricas localizadas em São Luís- MA. A partir de três prédios públicos situados no Centro Histórico da cidade, realizei uma etnografia com os profissionais da vigilância dos imóveis históricos, interessada em caracterizar a presença de seres intangíveis naqueles lugares – visagens, assombrações, espíritos, fantasmas e suas formas de manifestações visuais, sonoras, olfativas ou sensoriais. Nesse sentido, registro neste texto como os vigilantes são impactados por suas vivências em trabalho e constroem relações de estranhamento ou familiaridade com a casa, ao mesmo tempo que mobilizam um circuito de narrativas sobre fantasmas no Centro Histórico de São Luís.
Cartografia-ananse:  Territórios do axé na Tríplice Fronteira
Authors: Aureo Galdino Marina , dos Santos Maurício , de Azevedo Pinheiro Hoshino Thiago
Published: February 2021

O tema da fronteira, como metáfora, como aposta metodológica ou como problema não está ausente da literatura sobre as religiões afro-brasileiras. Não obstante, existe uma lacuna sensível entre o pensar fronteiras e o pensar fronteiriço, que assume a condição do front, da afronta e do afro como potência, fazendo da encruzilhada sua epistemologia. Trata-se, como o presente artigo propõe, a partir da dinâmica dos terreiros de Foz do Iguaçu/PR e dos movimentos do axé na Tríplice Fronteira, de uma vocação de caminhos do povo- de-santo e das agências que o atravessam e constituem. Nessa nomadologia, Anansi, a fiandeira de histórias e mundos dos ashanti, é a melhor das cartógrafas e boiadeiros, orixás, exus e caboclos ensinam que, como a aranha, viver no santo é fazer seu próprio lugar, vivendo do que se tece.
“O tapajós é o berço de onde nosso povo surgiu”:  Notas etnográficas sobre a luta do povo Munduruku pela vida
Authors: do Nascimento Dias Barbara
Published: February 2021

Para o povo Munduruku, assim como para muitos ameríndios, o mundo – ou os mundos – é habitado por diversos seres humanos e não humanos. Relacionar-se com a floresta, com os rios e com o território como um todo também implica se relacionar com esses seres outros, pois são sujeitos que possuem agência que influencia no mundo dos “vivos”. A partir das narrativas Munduruku, é possível perceber como os projetos de desenvolvimento almejados pelo Estado brasileiro, articulados às invasões e à falta de fiscalizações e de proteção às terras e territórios indígenas, violentam suas vidas em seu cotidiano, desde a terra em que pisam até os diferentes mundos e seres que compõem sua cosmografia.

Este artigo resulta do projeto “Outra prisão é possível? Liberdade e confinamento na autogestão prisional”, pesquisa de iniciação científica desenvolvida entre 2019- 2020 na APAC (Associação de Proteção e Amparo aos Condenados), em São Luís. Mobilizo algumas reflexões acerca da autogestão prisional presente no método de execução penal da APAC. Este trabalho se baseia em queixas realizadas pelos recuperandos durante conversas espontâneas como parte da reflexão tecidas por eles. Ao ter suas funções pré-estabelecidas (no regimento) e estabelecidas (na unidade), o que Darke (2019) define como autogestão da unidade acaba por se caracterizar mais como uma espécie de “participação” na estrutura organizacional da unidade.P

Somados a uma retomada da história da luta pela humanização no Brasil, estes relatos dão índices para compreender o atual cenário da atenção à gestação nos setores público e privado e operam como formas de organizar a experiência de gestar e parir. Por fim, o referido grupo é encarado como um foco de ativismo online através do fomento a autonomia feminina e da difusão de conhecimentos amparado nas práticas da medicina baseada em evidências.
Bodies That Matter: Miniaturisation and the Origin(s) of ‘Art’
Authors: Cometa Michele
Published: February 2021

Small things matter, especially in the so-called ‘arts’. From the visual arts to music and literature, ‘miniatures’ are a transcultural and transhistorical phenomenon that involves our aesthetic attitudes but also our everyday life, our emotional, social and cognitive life. Miniaturisation characterises our cognitive life and, of course, the ‘cognitive life of things’ that we produce, manipulate and discard. My paper is articulated into two sections: the first gives a quick overview of the miniatures of Homo sapiens, especially those of the paleolithic age, and a brief survey of the very challenging history of miniature-interpretation in twentieth-century philosophy of culture. In the second part I focus on five cognitive interpretations of miniature, which are supported by some experimental evidence.
Marriage, Maternity, and the Formation of a Sacramental Imagination
Authors: Newman Martha G.
Published: February 2021

This chapter compares marital and maternal imagery in two stories that the Cistercian monk Engelhard of Langheim sent to nuns at Wechterswinkel around the year 1200. Newman draws on theories of exemplarity and cognitive blending to show how Engelhard taught both monks and nuns a sacramental imagination whereby they could imagine connections between heaven and earth. Newman argues that Engelhard’s marital imagery retained an ideology of gender difference but that he ameliorated gendered dichotomies by using maternal images that held gender neutral connotations. Whereas marital imagery relied on gender dichotomies to express transcendent ideals and differentials of power and authority, Engelhard’s maternal imagery instead depicted a spirituality of immanence and productivity applicable to men and women alike.
Athens and Jerusalem on Water
Authors: Starkey Lindsay J.
Published: February 2021

This chapter examines European conceptions of water and its relationship
to the earth in the classical and patristic periods. It argues
that these texts provided the dual heritage from which medieval and
sixteenth-century Europeans drew in order to develop their own notions
of water and why it did not flood the earth. This chapter ultimately
argues that though no two authors writing during this time period had
exactly the same conception of water’s relationship to the earth and
the layout of the world’s landmasses and waterways, most classical and
patristic authors viewed water’s failure to flood the earth, the resulting
existence of the dry land, and the locations of that earth and water as
natural occurrences.
Paulo Freire: el metodo de la concientización, en la educación, para analizar y comprender el contexto actual de la globalización
Authors: Marin Gonzáles José
Published: February 2021

La educación como respuesta cultural y política, en diferentes contextos, responde a las necesidades de transmitir saberes, visiones del mundo, sistema de valores y actitudes de percepción y acción frente a las diferentes realidades sociales, en las que se desarrolla. En el contexto de la actual Globalización, la educación es una de las posibilidades reales, para obtener la construcción de una conciencia crítica sobre la realidad social. La concientización puede permitirnos de analizar, comprender y elaborar alternativas a los problemas actuales, La Globalización nos impone desafíos vitales, como la preservación del clima y la preservación de la de la biodiversidad y el respeto a la diversidad cultural y religiosa, en general. Sin soslayar, el desafío ético, ecológico y todo lo que refiere a la preservaciónde la dignidad humana, que nos permitan imaginar una sociedad más justa y solidaria. Las ideas tienen influencias, en la construcción de nuestro imaginario, que determina nuestras actitudes frente a la sociedad, a la naturaleza y al mundo donde vivimos. En esta perspectiva, la concientización propuesta por Paulo Freire, es una proposición válida y actual, para tratar de responder a los grandes desafíos de la sociedad contemporánea, agobiada ahora, por la Pandemia.

Retos tecnológicos de los archivos en tiempos de pandemia o cómo lograr la máxima eficiencia en la era de la virtualidad
Authors: Valentín Ruiz Francisco José
Published: February 2021

Las actividades de gestión de la información y la documentación en instituciones del sector público ejecutadas por archivos y áreas especializadas se han visto afectadas por dos circunstancias: la crisis económica de 2008 en lo que se refiere a los recursos disponibles; y la emergencia sanitaria de 2020 en relación con las necesidades de acceso virtual a los servicios. Sobre este punto de partida, se identifica una serie de retos relacionados con la transformación digital y la implantación de sistemas de gestión documental y de archivo a los que se enfrentan los archivos y las áreas encargadas de su implantación y son acompañados de propuestas para abordarlos teniendo en cuenta las circunstancias actuales.

Records management activities in public sector institutions carried out by archives and specialized areas have been affected by the 2008 economic crisis in terms of availability of resources and by the 2020 health emergency by the needs for virtual access to services. From this starting point, a series of challenges related to digital transformation and the implementation of records management and archiving systems faced by archives and the areas in charge of their implementation are identified and are accompanied by proposals to approach them taking consider current circumstances.

La transformación digital de las Administraciones Públicas implica cambios relevantes en sus sistemas de gestión, pero también en la relación entre instituciones, con los proveedores y los ciudadanos. El intercambio de información y documentos digitales ya es una práctica estándar. Sin embargo, la cuestión clave es verificar si estas soluciones tecnológicas tienen en cuenta aspectos organizativos como la gestión de documentos y la preservación de la autenticidad de los documentos en la Nube. El texto, a partir de un estudio de caso del proyecto InterPARES Trust, se centra en cómo los servicios digitales proporcionados por las Administraciones Públicas afectan a las Administraciones usuarias, pero también a los prestados a ciudadanos. Los resultados muestran que a menudo las condiciones de los servicios ofrecidos por el sector público no son muy diferentes de las ofrecidas por el sector privado. El objetivo es que las conclusiones del estudio delAyuntamiento deGirona puedan ser útiles para diseñar mejores políticas y servicios digitales prestados por Administraciones públicas a otras Administraciones públicas y, también, en los prestados a la ciudadanía.

The digital transformation of Public Administrations implies relevant changes intheir business systems but also in the relationship between themselves, with providers and citizens. The exchange of digital information and records is already a standard practice. However, the key issue is to verify if these technological solutions take into account organizational aspects as Records Management and the preservation of the authenticity of records in the Cloud. This text, based on a case study of the Project InterPARES Trust, focuses on how electronic services provided by Public Administrations affect the other Administrations as users, but the citizens too. The results show that frequently the services’ conditions offered by public sector are not very different to those offered by private sector. Based on the conclusions of the case study of the City Council of Girona, the aim is to contribute to design better policies and electronic services provided by Public Administrations to other Public Administrations and also for the citizens.

ANALÝZA PREVÁDZKY KOMBINOVANEJ SÚSTAVY
Authors: Straková Zuzana
Published: February 2021

Tvorba vnútorného prostredia v pracovnej oblasti človeka v priemyselných halových objektoch by mala byť založená na úzkej spolupráci profesií vykurovania spolu s vetraním a klimatizáciou. Prax však dokazuje, že tomu tak v mnohých prípadoch nie je. Obidve tieto profesie sú veľa krát riešené samostatne, výsledkom čoho je ich nespolupráca vedúca až k vzájomnému prekážaniu si, či už z hľadiska dispozičného umiestnenia alebo funkčného prevádzkovania navrhnutých sústav. Vytvorenie vykurovacej a vetracej sústavy, ktorá by jednak bola naprojektovaná v súlade s platnou legislatívou a jednak by vytvárala optimálne vnútorné životné prostredie pre človeka v jeho pracovnej oblasti a súčasne pri hospodárnej prevádzke, nachádza riešenie v kombinácii hygienického vetrania so sálavým vykurovaním, s použitím rekuperačnej vzduchotechnickej jednotky.

ZKUŠENOSTI VEŘEJNÝCH ZADAVATELŮ S PROJEKTY DESIGN-BUILD V ČR
Authors: Blaťák Jakub
Published: February 2021

Realizace veřejných projektů metodou design-build se objevuje již od minulého století. V zahraničí proběhlo několik průzkumů, které informovaly o hodnocení metody design-build jednotlivými zadavateli. Přestože se v České republice vyskytují projekty realizované pomocí design-build i ve veřejném sektoru, z celkového počtu projektů zaujímají jen nízké procento. Článek využívá dotazníku k průzkumu zkušenosti veřejných zadavatelů s touto metodou a hledá její kladné a záporné stránky v praxi. Výsledky průzkumu poukazují na nízké povědomí o realizaci projektů metodou design-build v České republice.
Use of portfolios to correct alternative conceptions and enhance learning
Authors: Kazembe Takawira
Published: February 2021

Forty first-year primary school student teachers at a Teacher Training College in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe, participated in an action research study, employing the science student portfolio, during February to July, 2008 . They used the portfolio to record their prior knowledge about the lesson topic, new information learnt during the lesson, and how the new information related to their prior knowledge. Comments on lessons, monthly tests and assignment scores, reflections and a page-long conclusion were also recorded in the portfolio. The monthly test scores improved as the study progressed. Interviews revealed that alternative conceptions emanated from teachers, peers, textbooks, and the failure of students to understand teachers’ explanations. Students’ and administration’s comments revealed stakeholders’ satisfaction with the portfolio’s effectiveness.
Effectiveness of Teachers at Preparing Grade 7 Candidates for Environmental Science Examinations
Authors: Kazembe Takawira , Sithole Methias
Published: February 2021

The study was undertaken to investigate the low Grade 7 pass rate at Primary Schools in Zimbabwe which averaged 75% for local languages, 47% for General Paper (GP) and 40% for Maths. The low GP pass rate was thought to be due to teachers’ attitudes towards developing scientific skills necessary to understand Environmental Science (ES). A sample of 77 student teachers, 7 lecturers, 3 headmasters and 12 mentors was used to probe how teachers are trained to teach ES. A questionnaire, observations, documents and informal interviews were used to collect data from student teachers. Interviews were used to collect data from lecturers, mentors and headmasters. About 3.9% of student teachers found science apparatus difficult to use because they were not adequately trained to handle them. At least 50% of them believe that practical activities are necessary for theory comprehension and use practical exercises to motivate pupils so that they achieve their maximum potential. However, most student teachers lament the unavailability of teaching aids although some of them were not keen on their improvisation notwithstanding their necessity for promotion of hands-on minds-on activities. Lecturers attributed students’ problems to students’ insufficient knowledge about ES educational attitudes and blamed this on overloading of students with content at the expense of developing scientific skills. The mentors admitted having insufficient knowledge and skills to adequately supervise student teachers, and that the unavailability of textbooks caused them to engage on drilling methods because headmasters emphasized on high pass rate but were silent on meaningful learning. They believed that ES practical activities were not necessary for Grade 7 examinations.
