Authors: Ronqui Ludimilla , De Sousa Queule Brito
Published: April 2022

Com o aumento da poluição no planeta, surge a necessidade de desenvolver estratégias de conscientização a respeito da degradação e preservação. Uma das estratégias é a inserção dessa temática nas atividades do cotidiano escolar de forma efetiva com a finalidade de contribuir na formação de indivíduos conscientes para exercerem sua cidadania ambiental. O livro didático tem uma participação significativa no desenvolvimento do ensino-aprendizagem, compreende-se que tem funções a desempenhar na transmissão do conhecimento cientifico e, como material de apoio na pratica do professor, entende-se, a necessidade de uma abordagem adequada, com apresentação e problematização do conteúdo, permitindo a compreensão e construção de sentidos. Portanto, apresentamos nesta pesquisa, a análise da abordagem do tema poluição na coleção “BURITI MAIS CIÊNCIAS”, destinada as series iniciais do ensino fundamental, empregando critérios de abordagem direta, indireta, ou abordagem inexistente, se existe equilíbrio entre o conteúdo e a idade, avaliando em bom, fraco ou regular, além de analisar a relação das imagens com o texto apresentado considerando como bom, fraco ou regular. Foi aplicado questionário com intuito de verificar informações sobre a pratica do professor em relação ao tema, e se os conteúdos propostos na coleção atendem ao planejamento, já que os professores tem papel crucial como mediadores e executores deste material. Através da análise constatou-se que a abordagem do tema nos livros é insuficiente, fragmentada, apresentada sem aprofundamento, dificultando na formação de indivíduos conscientes, críticos, e aptos para atuarem pelo planeta, deixando a critério do professor aprofundar ou não o tema em suas atividades, dependendo de seu interesse e visão das questões ambientais.

Published: April 2022

Bu çalışmada dikey düz bir plaka yüzeyine çarpan jet akışı için nozul uzunluğunun ısı transferi ve akış alanı üzerindeki etkileri sayısal olarak araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, sabit ısı akısına (q=1500 W/m2) sahip bir yüzeydeki ısı transferini etkileyen nozul uzunluğuna bağlı jet çarpmasının akış özellikleri üzerindeki etkilerini göstermektir. Analizler bir Hesaplamalı Akışkanlar Dinamiği (HAD) uygulaması olan Ansys/Fluent kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Nozul çıkışındaki akış, tam gelişmiş bir hız profiline sahiptir. Analizler, nozul ile plaka yüzeyi arasında 0,5; 1 ve 1,5 L/W boyutsuz mesafeleri ile 1300, 2600 ve 4000 jet Reynolds sayısı (Re) için gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, durma noktası bölgesinde azalan nozul mesafesi ile yerel Nusselt sayılarının arttığını göstermektedir. Bu durum, ısı transferinin artmasıyla sonuçlanan daha düşük nozul mesafesi çapı ile jet momentumu ve türbülans yoğunluğu seviyesindeki bir artışa ve ısıl sınır tabaka incelmesine bağlanabilir. Ayrıca zamana bağlı yapılan çözümlemede, hız ve sıcaklık konturları verilmiş, Nusselt sayısı ile sıcaklık değişim grafikleri sunularak modeller birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır.
Bowhead whales and whaling in the central and eastern Canadian Arctic, 1970-2021
Authors: Reeves Randall , Lee David S
Published: April 2022

The history of bowhead whaling and hunt management in the eastern and central Canadian Arctic is reviewed. Subsistence hunting of bowhead whales by Inuit resumed in the 1990s under co-management arrangements that were part of land-claims settlement agreements. Removals by whaling in both Canada and Greenland have been accounted for in IWC Scientific Committee assessments of the Eastern Canada–West Greenland (EC-WG) stock, but Canada, having withdrawn from IWC membership in 1982, has no legal obligation to consider IWC management advice. From 1994-2021 the total reported catch of bowheads in the central and eastern Canadian Arctic was 39 (not including struck-and-lost whales or whales that died from incidental entanglement in fishing gear). Sixteen different communities, most of which had a long history of bowhead whaling prior to the arrival of commercial whalers, took at least one bowhead over that 27-year period. More than half of the recent catches have been by the communities of Igloolik, Sanijarak, Naujaat and Coral Harbour, all in the Foxe Basin–Repulse Bay–northern Hudson Bay region where at least occasional hunting of bowheads by local people had persisted until well into the 1970s. Greenland’s reported landed catches totaled from 2009-2015, with no successful hunts reported since 2015. Well over a third of the whales landed by both countries combined have been mature females, the most valuable class in terms of potential for population increase. Several factors in addition to hunting and entanglement in fishing gear are likely affecting EC-WG bowheads, including increased exposure to killer whale predation (linked to the massive reduction in sea ice) and other changes in ecological conditions driven primarily by climate change (e.g. more industrial activity, more vessel traffic, more noise). Recent analyses suggest the EC-WG stock of bowheads has grown considerably since the end of commercial whaling, with best estimates of current abundance in the range of 6000-7000 individuals. Even though the population appears capable of sustaining present levels of removal and disturbance, it is important for monitoring efforts to continue in both Canada and Greenland, with regular Indigenous participation. Local observations and traditional knowledge can be valuable sources of information on animal health, behaviour and phenology.

Published: April 2022

The way a person understands poverty and its causes tends to shape the way a person is how to expose it. Most governments and most institutions define poverty as a whole based on material terminology. If the perception of material used for the problem of poverty is a complete understanding, it is not surprising that the local church is not included. The Bible gives a different understanding of poverty, according to him the most fundamental cause of poverty is spiritual. Sin is that which corrupts and distorts relationships which in many ways creates various forms of human poverty in material, social and spiritual forms. Within this framework of understanding the church can be involved. There are seven things that can be done by the church to be involved in transformational development (leading transformational): serving the community; call people to faith; bring out students who are holistic; contributions to civil society; being a pastoral companion; be the voice of prophethood; provide alternative explanations

Understanding formation of laws and regulations is not just applying what is contained in law but wanting to know what democracy means properly. Understanding of democracy because people in Indonesia tend to glorify democracy as a good thing. Then when the artificial goodness of democracy exists, it is possible to be unfair to oneself. That possibility tends to lead a person's incompetence when society's wishes are not met or conflict with his own. Of course, democracy doesn't always mean same when applied. Different definitions of each regime is a circle that must be passed by a country.

Combating Stock Theft with Deoxyribonucleic Acid Samples and Innovative Technology in South Africa
Authors: Maluleke Witness
Published: April 2022

Stock theft strips the South African economy of a great deal of money. This scourge threatens both the commercial and emergent farming sectors. The goats, sheep and cattle losses amount to millions of rands in Eastern Cape (EC), Limpopo (LIM) and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Provinces, which in 2021 were touted as the top Ten (10) hot spot police stations. As a recourse, the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) samples are used as an important forensic evidential tool to resolve this crime and ensure accuracy and fairness in the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Equally, the Mobile Telephone Network (MTN) (The South African cellular service provider) and Huawei Technologies collaborated to launch the ‘connected animal solution-Internet of Things (IoT),’ a digitised innovation, which allows livestock farmers to improve their animal management and health screening through activity and movement-monitoring and related analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the combating of stock theft with DNA samples and innovative technology (IoT), in this regard, focusing on the selected areas of KZN Province. From a qualitative standpoint, empirical research, documentary studies, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interview (KIIs) were adopted as data collection methods. The collected data was analysed employing the inductive Thematic Content Analysis (TCA). This paper found that the indicated nexus can adequately aid in evidence gathering relating to identification by DNA characteristics (I.e. Typing and sample usage), ownership (I.e. Kingship identification), paternity testing, management and monitoring of livestock movements, potential danger minimisation, tracking of straying livestock, improving efficiency and reduction of costs. It is recommended that livestock farmers should exercise their actionable educational insights regarding the effective use of the DNA samples and IoT by exercising physical matching of ear notches and brands, providing specific descriptions, and verifying their near real-time visibility in varying periods.

The Impact of a Project-Based Learning Experience on the SAE Self-Efficacy of Preservice Teachers
Authors: Toombs Jessica M. , Eck Christopher J. , Robinson J. Shane
Published: April 2022

The Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program is a valuable component of school-based agricultural education (SBAE). SAE component outcomes consist of real-world career exposure and skill development through experiential learning. Unfortunately, the SAE program is often the weakest component of SBAE in local programs. As such, SBAE teachers regularly request professional development in supervising student SAE projects. To address this need, we evaluated preservice teachers’ self-efficacy for teaching SAE throughout a semester-long course focused on the topic. We were especially interested in how self-efficacy changed over time, and we used an explanatory mixed-methods approach to do so. Our findings revealed that preservice teachers increased their perceived SAE self-efficacy by one full point on a 5-point scale, as a result of the course, when comparing data from Week 1 to Week 16. Financial data records of SAEs were perceived as the lowest SAE self-efficacy item for preservice teachers. Focus group members identified mastery experiences in the form of experiential learning and vicarious experiences of course instructors as contributing factors to their increase in SAE self-efficacy. It was recommended to course instructors to continue experiential learning projects and employing current and previous SBAE teachers as course instructors and guest speakers while also revising instruction related to The Agricultural Experience Tracker. Peer institutions should consider an experiential learning experience in relation to SAE supervision in their SBAE teacher preparation program.

Published: April 2022

The shortage of teachers, specifically agriculture teachers, has been established and literature shows us why some teachers choose to leave. The question remains, how can we provide induction programs to agriculture teachers that support their unique needs and ultimately retain beginning agriculture teachers in the profession long term? This longitudinal qualitative case study began with eight traditionally certified beginning agriculture teachers and concluded with six completing the three-year study. The collective case study gathered data from site visits, monthly interviews, and annual focus groups. Recommendations were made for components that should exist in an induction program for beginning agriculture teachers. The content beginning teachers may need, how to structure a program, and items mentors and facilitators need to be aware of when providing a comprehensive program are provided. Recommended components include developing a supportive community among the teachers, providing “as needed” resources, multiple mentors, feedback on teaching, and structured reflection.

Authors: Bundy Jennifer M. , Retallick Michael S. , Foreman Elizabeth A. , Powell Kelsey
Published: April 2022

Transfer students from the College of Agriculture (COA) at Iowa State University graduate at a higher rate than their university peers (non-COA). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if differences exist between COA and non-COA transfer students in their pre- and post- transfer experiences. A survey instrument was developed, and the fall 2019 transfer cohort was polled (n = 1048). A useable response rate of 45.9% (n = 481) was achieved which contained 104 COA participants. Responses from a random sample of 104 non-COA respondents served as the comparison group. Survey results found statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the groups in the manner in which transfer student capital was obtained. COA students tended to use advisors and admissions counselors prior to transfer more than their non-COA peers. However, pre- and post-transfer resources were under-used by both groups. On average, 66.0% of all respondents reported that they planned to transfer to a four-year institution prior to enrollment at their previous institution, but less than 50.0% of respondents used a transfer plan or course equivalency guide to aid in their course planning. Additionally, an average of 76.5% of transfers across both groups reported being aware of post-transfer tutoring services but did not utilize this resources in their first semester. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the perceived usefulness of post-transfer tutor resources between the two groups. Additional research is needed to determine if observed differences between COA and non-COA students explain variance associated with persistence and completion of a baccalaureate degree.

MONITORAMENTO AMBIENTAL DE ÁREA PROTEGIDA EM PROPRIEDADE RURAL ATRAVÉS DE ÍNDICES DE VEGETAÇÃO
Authors: Mota Zilândia Maria , Silva Alisson Rocha da
Published: April 2022

Introdução: Dentro do universo da propriedade rural, pelo advento da aplicação do Novo Código Florestal criou-se a necessidade de manter-se algum tipo de área protegida. Mas o gerenciamento dessas áreas muitas vezes passa por problemas alheios a vontade do produtor. A dificuldade de acompanhamento dessas áreas pode ser atenuada com a tecnologia do Sensoriamento Remoto. Para tanto é necessário que se entenda princípios práticos da aplicação de Índices de Vegetação, que é o mecanismo dessa tecnologia que terá maior aplicabilidade no monitoramento de reservas florestais. Objetivo: realizar o acompanhamento de uma área protegida de Mata Atlântica em tempo real, por meio da aplicação do índice de vegetação NDVI, a fim de diagnosticar eventuais queimadas, desmatamentos, entre outros eventos problemáticos. Material e métodos: A área estudada possui 3 ha e faz parte de uma reserva de Mata Atlântica pertencente ao Instituto Federal de Pernambuco, no município de Vitória de Santo Antão, Estado de Pernambuco. Utilizou-se a ferramenta de Sensoriamento Remoto EOS Crop Monitoring para obtenção direta do Índice de Vegetação NDVI (Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada), e da Precipitação Diária e Acumulada. Os dados compreendem o período de 11 a 26 de junho de 2021. Resultados: Constatou-se que no período observado a precipitação acumulada foi de apenas 2,4 mm, que está bem abaixo da média histórica dos últimos 5 anos, que é de 34,1 mm. Ao aplicarmos o NDVI, não identificamos grandes alterações, pois o mesmo se manteve entre 0,80 e 0,85, o que indica uma vegetação densa. O índice também não exibiu alterações concentradas, como clareiras, que poderiam indicar supressão da área vegetal através da retirada de árvores, queimadas ou processo erosivo. Conclusão: A despeito de não observarmos grandes alterações quando aplicamos o NDVI, a utilização isolada do referido parâmetro muitas vezes se mostra ineficaz, sendo necessária a aplicação de análogos como o Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada no Vermelho Limítrofe (NDRE), que costuma dar uma visão adicional importante, pois ao contrário daquele, este não satura pela reflectância do solo e permite observar a atividade fotossintética tanto no dossel alto como em camadas mais baixas da vegetação.

Adolf Hitler’s Attitudes About Religion in the Book “My Struggle” („Mein Kampf“)
Authors: Prodić Slobodan
Published: April 2022

The aim of this work is, through the analysis of the book „My struggle”, especially its parts connected with religion and devotion and the most important facts about this complex topic, present to the modern readers Adolf Hitler’s main ideas in the process of decreasement, and even often destroying of a religious factor in the everyday life of average Germans in the period between his entering into politics and the start of WWII and his project of solving the Jewish problem in the areas conquered by the German army. The complexity of this topic is also visible in the fact that there was a conflict in whole social life in Germany after losing WWI. The society in Germany after WWI had been searching for comfort and escape from poverty that happened after 1919, political instability and other destabilizing factors in religion, no matter is it Roman Catholicism, Protestantism or Judaism. For National socialists who were constantly getting more and more power, thanks to mistakes of other political movements, excellent organisation and endurance of its leaders, before all, Adolf Hitler, every kind of devotion that was not agreeing with the ideas of national socialism was declared as a political enemy. From today’s perspective, we can say that Germany between the two World Wars was a very interesting area for researching the relationship between religion and politics, especially if we keep in mind that Hitler in his book defined the relationship between religion and its destroying, in the case when religion does not use to the political goals.

Authors: SAHRAOUI Sara , LEFEBVRE Laurent
Published: April 2022

The cognitive pathological aging process of Alzheimer’s diseases (AD) accompanied by physiological changes and modifications in cognitive abilities. Most of the work carried on cognitive functioning of AD patients has provided a better description of the cognitive disturbances caused by this disease. These disturbances are dominated by a deficiency in certain memory systems, in particular episodic memory, semantic memory and working memory, followed by a deficiency in language production and comprehension and in executive function. We briefly present in this work a general overview on Alzheimer’s disease followed by a presentation of a cognitive aspect of this disease enclosing the particularities of the effect of AD on memory function and the main approaches to cognitive stimulation and language therapy. This presentation of the cognitive language therapy approaches as well as the different techniques for managing cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease can provide knowledge enabling to offer adapted care for bilingual patients with AD since this disease requires adapted and specific interventions.
Focus sur les avancées de la recherche dans le traitement du diabète par l’insuline
Authors: YANALLAH Khadidja
Published: April 2022

La molécule de l’insuline a fait l’objet d’un certain nombre de développement depuis sa première utilisation il y a un siècle. Néanmoins, l’insulinothérapie présente encore des lacunes majeures. En premier lieu, l’insuline est associée au risque d’hypoglycémie le plus élevé parmi tous les traitements disponibles des thérapies antidiabétiques ; de plus, la voie d’administration sous-cutanée, souvent associée à des effets indésirables tels que la prise de poids et d’autres facteurs psychosociaux, rend de nombreux patients et médecins réticents à initier une insulinothérapie. Cet article met l’accent sur les insulines qui sont déjà entrées dans la phase clinique. Il s’agit de différentes pistes de solutions pour l’administration de l’insuline dans le but d’assurer le confort du patient et d’améliorer l’observance du traitement.
