Authors: Beg Ayad , Thamer Mohamed , Ali Mohad
Published: March 2023

Morphometric analysis is essential in evaluating the geomorphological development and hydrological characteristics of rivers and valley basins. Several studies used different DEM data to evaluate elevation accuracy or their impact on measurements of limited morphometric parameters. The current study was carried out on the Chai Dakuk River basin in the northeastern part of Iraq. The basin is bounded by latitudes 34°44'30"- 35°35'49"N and longitudes 44°17'39"- 45°28'16"E. The current study aims to evaluate the accuracy of different DEM data, i.e., ASTER-GDEM 1-arcsec, SRTM 1-arcsec, and 3- arcsec, ALOS-12.5 meters, and GMTED 7.5 arcsec data, based on reference points collected by GPS and top maps of scale 1: 20000, and to evaluate DEM resolution on the calculation accuracy of different morphometric parameters. The analysis of morphometric parameters was carried out using ArcGIS- morphometric toolbox. The results of the accuracy assessment of DEM data identified the SRTM 1arc-second is more adequate with reference measurements; based on that, the measurements of all other DEM are compared to the SRTM 1- arcsec. The results of morphometric parameters show noticeable differences in many morphometric parameters calculated from different DEM data. Numbers and lengths of stream orders; bifurcation ratios; main channel length; drainage density; stream frequency; constant of channel maintenance; compactness coefficient; drainage texture; infiltration number; basin outlet height and the maximum height of basin, total basin relief, and ruggedness number. According to the results, the study concluded that the SRTM 1- arcsec data are more suitable for morphometric analysis, followed by ASTER GDEM data.

The Albian Carbonate-clastic succession in the present study is represented by the Mauddud and Nahr Umr formations were deposited during the Albian stage within the Wasia Group More than 200 thin sections of cores and cuttings in addition to well logs data for Nahr Umr and Mauddud formations from 4 boreholes within two oil fields (Ba-4, Ba-8, Ns-2 and Ns-4) were used to interpret the different associations facies as well as the facies architectures to describe the sedimentary framework of the basin and development the petrophysical properties. Seven major microfacies were diagnosed in the carbonate succession of the Mauddud Formation, while the Nar Umr Formation includes five lithofacies; their grain types characteristic and depositional textures enabled to recognize of paleoenvironments. These microfacies were deposited in restricted, shallow open marine, back-reef, slope and deep open marine for the Mauddud succession. While in Nahr Umr, the lithofacies were deposited in bay fill, back-shore and distributary channel. The studied succession in Balad oil field which represents two 3rd order and four 4th order cycles (A1, A2, A3 and A4). These cycles are asymmetrical and starts with cycle A1 where the Backshore facies in Lower Mauddud Formation represents the transgressive systems tract and then appear the hightstand systems tract bounded below by a transgressive surface which coinside with the unconformable surface with the underlying Shuaiba Formation. In Nasyria oil field the studied succession represents two 3rd order cycles and three 3rd order cycles (A1, A2 and A4) with absence of A3 cycle. These cycles are asymmetrical and starts with cycle A1 where the distributary channel in the lower part of Nahr Umr succession represents the transgressive systems tract bounded below by unconformable surface with the underlying Shuaiba Formation. The highstand systems tract of cycle A1 is reflected by shallowing upward for distributary channel, bay fill and back-sore facies of the Nahr Umr Formation. This relatively thick parasequence reflect time of sea level stillstand where tectonic subsidence is the major controlling factor on producing the necessary accommodation for thick aggregational to progradation clastic succession to deposit.

Authors: BRANDÃO FERREIRA YRVING , FREITAS SOARES LARISSE , OSMAR SILVA NETO JOSE , PINTO VIDAL DE OLIVEIRA VLADIA
Published: March 2023

O laboratório é um campo vasto para o desenvolvimento da autonomia do aluno, permitindo testar suas ideias sobre determinados fenômenos e, assim, levantar hipóteses. A ampliação das aulas de caráter lúdico e científico em diferentes áreas da geografia física possibilitam um maior desenvolvimento qualitativo e prático dos discentes, bem como uma expansão dos significados do espaço escolar enquanto ambiente multidisciplinar e interdisciplinar no contexto Novo Ensino Médio (BOTELHO; MARQUES; OLIVEIRA 2019; CAMPOS, 2020; LIMA, 2010). Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar as contribuições do desenvolvimento de experimentos em laboratório escolar de ciências sobre solos, sua formação e desenvolvimento pedogenético. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com 40 alunos do 1º ano da disciplina eletiva de Geografia do Ceará, da escola de ensino médio General Murilo Borges Moreira, situada no município de Fortaleza – Ceará. A pesquisa usou de metodologia qualitativa (BOGDAN; BIKLEN, 1994), desenvolvida a partir da realização de experimentos de análise de solos em laboratório pelos discentes e suas percepções dessa atividade. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram questionários, roteiros norteadores e avaliações realizadas em cada atividade prática com os discentes. Após os experimentos em laboratório os alunos conseguiram reconhecer minerais e rochas e associá-los com elementos químicos; diferenciação de horizontes; composição de partículas dos solos e sua relação com a cor compreensão das características morfopedológica e seu vínculo com os demais elementos da paisagem. Os experimentos no laboratório de caráter investigativo, prático e interdisciplinar foram essenciais para a compreensão do processo de formação e identificação dos tipos de solos, bem como sua importância no contexto de uso e ocupação no Estado do Ceará. Provocou-se a reflexão sobre a importância de práticas conservacionistas no uso desse elemento e recurso natural.
A UNIVERSIDADE PÚBLICA NO ALTAR DO MERCADO: UMA BREVE ANÁLISE DOS TERMOS UTILIZADOS NA ABA DO PROGRAMA FUTURE-SE NA PÁGINA INSTITUCIONAL DO MINISTÉRIO DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: CABREIRA DA SILVA ISADORA , DA COSTA LAGE LUCAS
Published: March 2023

O presente trabalho visa analisar quais termos são predominantes na proposta o Programa Future-se, e qual - ou quais - concepções e modelos de universidade fazem-se presentes dentro de tal iniciativa, e justifica-se pela necessidade da discente em pensar quais teorias, discursos e concepções perpassam a proposta que, mesmo após um corte orçamentário de 30% da IFES, garante que o governo não deixará de manter seu financiamento, mas permite que as instituições abram oportunidades para o estabelecimento de parcerias com empresas privadas. Para a pesquisa, utilizou-se uma metodologia de análise qualitativa e organização dos dados através de uma nuvem de palavras, em que os termos de mais recorrência estão em um tamanho maior em comparação aos outros. A proposta está dividida em três eixos, sendo o Eixo 1 - Gestão Governança e Empreendedorismo formado por termos como naming rights, ranking e parcerias público-privadas; o Eixo 2 - Pesquisa e Inovação, também menciona o ranqueamento das instituições, aproximações com a iniciativa privada para o financiamento de pesquisas e a criação de um ambiente de negócios embasado nas startups; por fim, o Eixo 3 - Internacionalização, direciona a mesma para a pesquisa aplicada, a revalidação de diplomas emitidos por instituições de alto desempenho e o estabelecimento de parcerias com instituições privadas com o objetivo de possibilitar publicações científicas em periódicos de outros países. Por mais que os três eixos estejam divididos em temáticas mais direcionadas, nota-se que estão interligados, principalmente no que tange à iniciativa privada e suas possíveis intervenções no financiamento das instituições federais. Com essa dissolução do público, conclui-se que tal proposta está diretamente relacionando àquilo que Chaui (1999) e Sguissardi (2006) denominam universidade heterônoma, que possui influência direta do Estado, da indústria e do mercado.

El abordaje metodológico se dio a partir del paradigma cuantitativo, los resultados muestran que las funciones mayormente valoradas son el cumplimiento de tareas, no así las funciones de liderazgo; los obstáculos más representativos son las dificultades de incompatibilidad entre los miembros del equipo de trabajo lo que generaba enojos, tensión y malos entendidos.
Abstract
Virtual work teams present different challenges from traditional work teams, where their members have the possibility of seeing each other face to face; undoubtedly, the exponential growth and the challenges inherent to the educational system derived from the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 highlight the need to generate research associated with the new teamwork dynamics in order to recognize their structure, functionality, and management in a virtual modality. The objective of this study was to identify the functions and difficulties of virtual work teams of high school students in the state of Durango, Mexico. The methodological approach was based on the quantitative paradigm; the results show that the most valued functions are the fulfillment of tasks, whereas leadership functions are not; the most representative difficulty is the incompatibility among the members of the work team, which generated anger, tension and misunderstandings.

Authors: Ramos Vera Mario
Published: March 2023

Athanasius Kircher SJ permanece vinculado a los estudios del hermetismo y a la egiptomanía, pero su obra Mundus subterraneus plantea una utopía en el sentido de un viaje fantástico a un no-lugar, en este caso por medio del análisis de las interioridades del globo terráqueo. Esta utopía describe “la mayor de las obras de Dios” como un geocosmos imaginario. Analizaremos esta utopía de lo oculto, de aquello que no es manifestado a la vista de todos, y cómo esta idea permanece vinculada con otras obras del autor.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of reflective practice in foreign language teaching and learning (FLT) through the lens of multicultural education. The paper outlines three main objectives: (1) to provide an overview of reflective practice in FLT and its intersection with multicultural education, (2) to examine the methodology of using reflective practice in FLT within a multicultural context, and (3) to discuss key conclusions on the benefits of using reflective practice in FLT and multicultural education. The paper begins by providing an overview of reflective p ractice and its application in FLT, emphasizing the importance of reflective practice in enhancing learners' language proficiency, self-awareness, and metacognitive skills. The paper also highlights the role of reflective practice in promoting intercultural competence and understanding, which is a key component of multicultural education. Next, the article examines the methodology of using reflective practice in FLT within a multicultural context, discussing how teachers can incorporate reflective practice into their instructional practices, and outlining different approaches to reflective practice, such as journal writing, peer feedback, and group discussion. The paper also considers challenges that may arise when using reflective practice in multicultural FLT, such as overcoming language barriers or addressing cultural biases. Finally, the key conclusions explain the benefits of using reflective practice in FLT and multicultural education. It is argued that reflective practice can enhance learners' language proficiency and intercultural competence, as well as promote their motivation to learn. It is as well highlighted to see the potential benefits of using reflective practice for language teachers, such as improving their instructional practices and facilitating their professional development. In conclusion, it is proposed that reflective practice is an effective methodology for enhancing FLT and promoting intercultural competence within a multicultural context. It is recommended that FLT teachers incorporate reflective practice into their instructional practices, and that teacher training programs include training on reflective practice and multicultural education. Future research should focus on exploring the most effective approaches to using reflective practice in FLT and multicultural education, as well as investigating the potential impact of reflective practice on learners' long-term language proficiency and intercultural competence.
Let's get visible: evidence-based interventions aimed at supporting, empowering and celebrating student-parents in higher education.
Authors: Todd Andrea
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses the findings of a two-stage small-scale research project investigating the needs of undergraduate students with dependent children (‘student-parents’) studying in a post-1992 university. The findings of Stage 1 of the study, using data from semi-structured interviews with student-parents, show that student-parents need two things from their institution: a sense of belonging and flexibility. In Stage 2, a questionnaire survey was used to explore the impact of two interventions piloted during the 2021-22 academic year to address the Stage 1 findings. The paper then presents the next steps in this project: co-creation, with students, of systems designed not only to make visible our student-parent community but also to support, empower and celebrate their identities as student-parents.
Developing an equity lens: the experience of creating a professional framework for coaches and mentors
Authors: Clay Enya-Marie , Williams Helen , Blissett Jo , Lindley Janet , O'Neil Lynne
Published: March 2023

The following is a collective practitioner reflection on creating a coaching and mentoring professional framework for a pilot student support service that focuses on delivering targets in the institutional Access and Participation Strategy. Both coaching and mentoring are increasingly recognised as support mechanisms which can bring about change for social justice (Shoukry and Cox, 2018). As Learning Development practitioners, we are working within a specialist coaching and mentoring service which seeks to remove student inequalities. Therefore, working to create a professional framework which addresses this directly has been valuable. We share our journey in the hope that other Learning Development practitioners will consider an equity lens to critically reflect on their work and join a conversation to develop anti-oppressive practice in student support further.
Dyslexia in higher education: enhancing student belonging and overcoming barriers to achievement through communities of practice
Authors: Welton Karen
Published: March 2023

Feeling that they belong is a crucial part of a student's learning journey which impacts enjoyment, attainment and retention. Dyslexic students can feel isolated within their diagnosis and do not openly discuss their inherent challenges and strengths, often due to previous educational and/or social misconceptions. In the United Kingdom, with a professional diagnosis, tailored support for this Specific Learning Difference (SpLD) may be sought through government funding known as Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). However, many dyslexic students remain undiagnosed, or do not wish to disclose, and this, combined with a reduction in DSA funding in 2015, has negatively impacted the achievement and affinity of this cohort. Although as a result of this funding cut higher education institutions became legally responsible for making reasonable adjustments to their teaching practices, this broad-brush approach does not support dyslexic students in understanding the many intricacies associated with this SpLD, or how to navigate their learning in a higher education context. To bridge this gap, and help like-minded students share ideas to help others whilst also developing their own skills and confidence, I initiated a community of practice (CoP). After a year of fortnightly meetings, a group of empowered individuals, who had a much deeper understanding of what being dyslexic meant, emerged with newfound confidence, having connected and collaborated with neurologically similar people.

Published: March 2023

Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are essential assets used to maintain vital societal functions, for example utilities such as power, water, gas, and telecommunication networks. CIs comprise two main parts, namely a: Cyber component and a Physical component, which allow them to operate. Therefore, the occurrence of faults or attacks in either domain can result in the disruption of services, causing negative impacts beyond the system itself. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness within Trinidad and Tobago and, by extension, the Caribbean on the importance of maintaining resilient and cyber secure CIs for the purpose of critical infrastructure protection (CIP) given the current situation. A review of past incidents from 2012 - 2022 taken place both regionally and internationally is discussed, with major emphasis on those occurring in the Caribbean region. These incidents have been presented from the perspective of faults and cyber-attacks affecting CIs resulting in the disruption of services. In responding to frequently occurring scenarios, recommendations on the way forward have been proposed.

Authors: Alijošiūtė Eliana , Mikaliūkštienė Aldona
Published: March 2023

Sleep quality is a key determinant of good health, and its importance cannot be overlooked among middle-aged and elderly people, given that sleep disturbances and difficulty falling asleep become more common with age, which affects the emotional well-being and quality of life of middle-aged and elderly people. Evidence shows that while the need for sleep remains the same throughout a person's life, the ability to get enough sleep decreases with age.

The aim of this paper is to review and present recent literature on the emotional state of middle-aged and elderly people and its impact on sleep quality.

Methods – systematic literature review of PubMed and Google Scholar databases on the emotional state of middle-aged and elderly people and its impact on sleep quality.

Results and conclusions. 9 articles were included in the systematic review. The studies show that worsening emotional state, symptoms of depression, anxiety and grief lead to poorer sleep quality and, conversely, that poor sleep quality can contribute to the development of these emotional conditions.

Efektivitas Implementasi Kebijakan Earmarking Tax di Indonesia
Authors: Fransiscus Raymond , Siahaan Albert
Published: March 2023

Latar belakang: Indonesia merupakan negara kesatuan dengan praktik desentralisasi yang dicirikan oleh mekanisme otonomi daerah. Mekanisme tersebut termaktub dalam Pasal 18 ayat (2) UUD 1945, yang dilanjutkan pada Pasal 1 angka 2 UU No. 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah. Mekanisme tersebut mengalihkan tanggung jawab dan wewenang kepada setiap daerah otonom untuk mengurus pemerintahan daerahnya sendiri, termasuk pula anggaran pendapatan dan belanja daerah (APBD). Maka dari itu, guna mencapai efisiensi anggaran daerah, pemerintah menerapkan salah satu kebijakan yang dikenal dengan istilah earmarking tax. Oleh karena itu, topik yang akan ditelaah pada artikel ini adalah bagaimana efektivitas implementasi earmarking tax di Indonesia.

Metode penelitian: Dalam rangka menyelesaikan rumusan masalah yang telah dibatasi, maka metode penelitian yang digunakan  adalah studi kepustakaan (library research). Sumber bahan hukum yang dipergunakan berupa bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Bahan hukum primer terdiri dari UUD 1945 dan UU No. 28 Tahun 2009 tentang Pajak Daerah dan Retribusi Daerah. Sedangkan, bahan hukum sekunder diperoleh melalui karya-karya ilmiah, internet, dan jurnal yang dapat mendukung penelitian ini.

Hasil penelitian: Kebijakan earmarking tax pada dasarnya sudah diterapkan di Indonesia. Namun, efektivitas penerapan earmarking tax tampaknya masih dipertanyakan sebab hingga saat ini pelaksanaan alokasi pendapatan daerah belum diawasi atau dievaluasi. Hal ini mengakibatkan terjadinya peruntukkan dana yang tidak tampak jelas  dan tidak tepat sasaran, serta menimbulkan potensi terjadinya penyalahgunaan dana atau praktik korupsi oleh pemerintah daerah.

Karawang Regency has quite high culinary business potential because apart from being an industrial area of ​​Karawang it is also a tourist area. Most Karawang residents have culinary businesses, especially in the form of street vendors, warteg, catfish penyet stalls, to restaurants. However, the products being sold are fresh food products that will quickly deteriorate. This service aims to assist culinary entrepreneurs in producing food products that have a longer shelf life during production and marketing. In addition, it is hoped that it can help culinary entrepreneurs maintain the nutritional value of the products to be sold and can provide added value in sales by utilizing vacuum packaging. Education is carried out for the people of Ciampel, Karawang Regency through demonstrations or demonstrating how to pack food ingredients using the vacuum method. The activities carried out were tested first at the Padjadjaran University Laboratory in Bandung to determine the nutrient content on the first day of packaging, the seventh day and the 14th day of packaging using samples of raw snakehead fish which were packaged using the vacuum method through 2 treatments, namely salted and without being sprinkled with salt. Laboratory results showed that samples with vacuum packaging covered with salt were still suitable for consumption on seven day.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger). Conventionally, diabetes has been divided into three types namely: Type 1 DM or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in which body fails to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin or wear an insulin pump. This is also termed as "juvenile diabetes". Type 2 DM or non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, with or without an absolute insulin deficiency. This type was previously referred to as or "adult-onset diabetes". The third main type is gestational diabetes which occurs when women without a previous history of diabetes develop a high blood glucose level during her pregnancy. It may precede development of type 2 DM. Currently available pharmacotherapy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus includes insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents. Such drugs acts by either increasing the secretion of insulin from pancreas or reducing plasma glucose concentrations by increasing glucose uptake and decreasing gluconeogenesis. However these current drugs do not restore normal glucose homeostasis for longer period and they are not free from side effects such as hypoglycemia, kidney diseases, GIT problems, hepatotoxicity, heart risk problems, insulinoma and they have to take rest of life. Various herbal drugs have been also proved effective due to their beneficial contents in treatment of diabetes. The present review therefore is an attempt to focus on the physiological aspects of diabetes, its complications, goals of management, and synthetic and herbal treatment of diabetes.

Introduction

To identify differences in chest computed tomography (CT) of the symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) population according to the patients’ severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination status (non-vaccinated, vaccinated with incomplete or complete vaccination cycle).

Material and methods

CT examinations performed in the Emergency Department (ED) in May-November 2021 for suspected COVID-19 pneumonia with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test were retrospectively included. Personal data were compared for vaccination status. One 13-year experienced radiologist and two 4th-year radiology residents independently evaluated chest CT scans according to CO-RADS and ACR COVID classifications. In possible COVID-19 pneumonia cases, defined as CO-RADS 3 to 5 (ACR indeterminate and typical) by each reader, high involvement CT score (≥ 25%) and CT patterns (presence of ground glass opacities, consolidations, crazy paving areas) were compared for vaccination status.

Results

184 patients with known vaccination status were included in the analysis: 111 non-vaccinated (60%) for SARS-CoV-2 infection, 21 (11%) with an incomplete vaccination cycle, and 52 (28%) with a complete vaccination cycle (6 different vaccine types). Multivariate logistic regression showed that the only factor predicting the absence of pneumonia (CO-RADS 1 and ACR negative cases) for the 3 readers was a complete vaccination cycle (OR = 12.8-13.1 compared to non-vaccinated patients, p ≤ 0.032). Neither CT score nor CT patterns of possible COVID-19 pneumonia showed any statistically significant correlation with vaccination status for the 3 readers.

Conclusions

Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2-infected patients with a complete vaccination cycle had much higher odds of showing a negative CT chest examination in ED compared to non-vaccinated patients. Neither CT involvement nor CT patterns of interstitial pneumonia showed differences across different vaccination status.
