Mujeres trabajo y educación a principios del siglo XX: las maestras en la prensa católica del sodoeste bonaerense argentino.
Authors: Bracamontes Lucía
Published: May 2018

La figura de la maestra es significativa para los católicos, ya que abarca varios problemas acuciantes para la Iglesia Católica desde fines del siglo XIX: la laicidad de la enseñanza pública, el trabajo femenino extra-familiar asalariado y la educación secundaria de las mujeres. Precisamente, el objetivo del presente artículo es identificar los argumentos a partir de los cuales los católicos realizan sus evaluaciones sobre el magisterio, tomando como fuente la prensa de tendencia católica que aparece en Bahía Blanca y circula por su vasta región de influencia que comprende el sudoeste bonaerense, el territorio de La Pampa y el norte de la Patagonia, en las tres primeras décadas del siglo XX.Abordando el discurso periodístico desde una perspectiva de género, se intentará demostrar que, a pesar de los procesos de laicización, las formulaciones católicas colaboran en la construcción del perfil laboral del magisterio como misión femenina enraizada en la naturaleza maternal y que, si bien estas ideas no tienen en sí mismas la intención de subvertir las relaciones de género, avalan ciertas mutaciones en la condición femenina pues, en algunos casos, operan legitimando el acceso a la educación y al trabajo, así como también el derecho de asociación.Se reconstruye, en primera instancia, la realidad particular de la docencia como rubro de inserción laboral femenina en el sudoeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires para pasar, en segundo término, a estudiar la visión transmitida por la prensa de tendencia católica en torno al magisterio.
Rentas eclesiásticas del Obispado de Nicaragua y Costa Rica en 1704.
Authors: Aguirre Salvador Rodolfo
Published: May 2018

En 1699 el papa Inocencio I concedió a la corona española un subsidio eclesiástico por un millón de educados de plata, el cual debía recaudarse del 10% de todas las rentas eclesiásticas de las diócesis de América. En primera instancia, las órdenes llegaron al arzobispado de México y de ahí se reenviaron a las diócesis sufragáneas, estableciéndose entonces una correspondencia entre el arzobispo y los obispos. En este trabajo se presenta una carta de 1706, de fray Diego Morcillo, recién nombrado obispo de Nicaragua, acompañada de una relación del monto del subsidio eclesiástico que se había regulado en el mismo obispado, de 1704. La carta del obispo Morcillo va dirigida al arzobispo de México, dándole cuenta del estado que guardaba la recaudación en Nicaragua y Costa Rica, además de algunos otros problemas de gobierno del prelado. La relación de las rentas fue elaborada por el colector general del obispado, Pablo de la Madriz Paniagua, cura más antiguo del Sagrario de la catedral de León y comisario de la Santa Cruzada.
A terceirização dos cuidados infantis: um fenômeno histórico
Authors: Wagner Luciane Carniel , Vieira Grazielli Padilha , Maciel Vera Elaine Marques
Published: May 2018

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar o fenômeno da terceirização dos cuidados infantis.   Através de pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema, foram encontrados textos que apontam que os cuidados com a criança têm sido compartilhados ao longo de toda a história da civilização ocidental. Entre as justificativas para a necessidade de terceirizar, está a dificuldade de mães e pais em assumir todos os cuidados necessários para o desenvolvimento saudável da criança. As autoras apontam para o grande esforço necessário à tarefa de educar, que na atualidade tem sido dificultado pelas novas organizações da família. A escola tem sido chamada a participar de modo intenso desse processo, através da construção de alternativas que aumentam sua responsabilidade, como é o caso da escola em tempo integral. Conflitos têm surgido entre a família e a escola, que precisam de apoio para identificar e desempenhar seus papéis em harmonia.
Umiar, praca i jej owoc w społeczeństwach konsumpcyjnych
Authors: Hołda Małgorzata
Published: May 2018

Umiar – traktowany tradycyjnie jako wartość – w społeczeństwach konsumpcyjnych wydaje się być inaczej rozumiany lub też zanikać, przestaje być czymś pożądanym i wynagradzającym trud związany z pracą. Według Jeana Baudrillarda, współczesnego filozofa francuskiego, logiczne podejście do zdobywania dóbr i przedmiotów, w którym praca poprzedza jej owoce, ulega we współczesnych społeczeństwach dekonstrukcji. Obowiązującą normą staje się powszechne kredytowanie, posiadanie wszystkiego natychmiast i bez wysiłku, zaznacza się brak umiaru i wzrost postaw hedonistycznych. Celem artykułu jest analiza zjawisk, które prowadzą do odwrócenia porządku (praca poprzedza jej owoce, tak jak przyczyna skutek) oraz tworzenia się nowej etyki, w której praca, oszczędność, gospodarność, umiar nie są postrzegane jako wartości dające możliwość zdobywania i powiększania statusu materialnego.
Common Sense in Science
Authors: Przybył Piotr
Published: May 2018

Common sense is an ability common to all people and it is related to right judges based on correct perception. These elements are very important in science too, so common sense could be a universal method of dialog among different disciplines. Critical rationalism of Karl Popper, as a method of verification theories, is a reflection about human perception, it is the way to know the truth and it is objective judging. Polish philosopher Michał Heller points out a characteristics which are necessary to be a good scientist and philosopher: self­‑criticism, objectivism, and discipline in thinking etc., which are common with Popper’s idea. The aim of this article is to show that Heller’s critical rationalism is commonsensical way of practicing science and philosophy.
Umiarkowanie i jego modele
Authors: Trzcieniecka-Schneider Irena
Published: May 2018

Umiarkowanie jest jedną z czterech cnót kardynalnych, pierwotnie podanych przez Platona. Obecnie pojęcie umiarkowania zajmuje kluczową pozycję w wielu systemach etycznych, w tym w ekofilozofii. Umiarkowanie zakłada zachowanie właściwej równowagi, potrzebnej przy dokonywaniu wyborów życiowych. Próba analizy tego pojęcia przy pomocy prostych środków formalnych pozwala ujawnić ukryte założenia, a także jego strukturę. W pojęciu umiarkowania mieści się zarówno decyzja (wybór), jak i działanie bądź zachowanie jako efekt podjętej decyzji. Pierwszy model oparty jest na koncepcji Arystotelesa i jego „złotego środka” zawartej w Etyce nikomachejskiej. Próba rekonstrukcji koncepcji Arystotelesa pokazuje, że pojęcie umiarkowania w tym ujęciu jest silnie zrelatywizowane do kręgu kulturowego i, co wydaje się zaskakujące, w skrajnych przypadkach jego określenie może okazać się niemożliwe.Drugi model, podany przez Epikura, jest oparty na pojęciu konsekwencji logicznej. Wprawdzie dotyczy jedynie przyjemności i przykrości, ale umiarkowanie najczęściej zalecane jest właśnie w odniesieniu do rzeczy przyjemnych. Zbiór decyzji umiarkowanych jest budowany rekurencyjnie. A – zbiór przyjemności – jest modyfikowany krok po kroku poprzez konsekwencje CR(A), gdzie R jest zbiorem reguł zawierającym prócz reguły modus ponens oraz reguły tożsamości proste, najczęściej nieformalne, reguły działania/wyboru pochodzące z codziennego doświadczenia. Zbiór U jest zbiorem wyborów umiarkowanych w sensie Epikura wtedy i tylko wtedy, gdy dla dowolnego p należącego do zbioru przykrości, p nie należy do zbioru konsekwencji ∀p ∈ P, ~(p ∈ CR(U)).

Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the effects of health education on both cognition and depressive/anxiety symptoms in the elderly with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Method: this is a randomized and controlled clinical trial. Participants (n=22) were recruited from a specialized outpatient clinic, and assigned into two groups: a Health Education Group (HEG) (n=10) and a Control Group (CG) (n=12). The participants were evaluated before and after the intervention, which was composed of classes and dynamics. The intervention consisted of 20 meetings, over a period of five months. The assessment was performed by means of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination – Revised (ACER), the Mini-Mental State Examination to access participant’s cognitive state, and the Beck’s Scale to access depressive/anxiety symptoms. A Memory Complaints Scale (EQM) was also used. The analysis was carried out using the Student’s t test for paired samples. Results: the HEG group demonstrated an improvement in attention/orientation (p= 0,026), memory (p=0.001), language (p= 0.033), and ACE-R (p= 0.003). On the other hand, the CG did not present improvement. Conclusion: the results highlight the importance of non-pharmacological interventions in older adults with MCI to reduce cognitive deficits.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the quality of life and health of elderly in rural areas of Minas Gerais State’s center-west. Method: Cross-sectional study, in four municipalities of Minas Gerais State, by interviewing elderly people. Associations between socio-demographic and quality of life variables were tested, separated into “satisfactory”/“unsatisfactory” with values from the median of positive answers. It was used the chi-square test, Fisher’s test and regression. Results: 182 elderly answered the questions and showed a relation with the “satisfactory” quality of life - bivariate (p < 0.05): age by 69 years (61.6%), married (61.7%), living by 54 years in rural areas (68%), with no financial support (59.5%), living with someone else (61%), non-smoker (60%), presenting good health (76.7%), satisfied with life (69.6%); regression: not having financial support, living with someone else and not smoking. Conclusion: Elderly people in rural areas present good quality of life/health in the cognitive aspect, access to services, goods, habits, but awareness must be constant due to their weakness.

Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify factors associated to the dependence of older adults with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Method: analytical and epidemiological study with 99 older adults. The Brazilian Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire and a questionnaire composed by socio-demographic and clinical variables were used. The independent variables were described and compared to the level of dependence obtained by the chi-square test or the Fisher test, the strength of association was estimated by Odds Ratio and multiple regression. Results: the level of dependence prevailed in 79.8% of the sample. Higher chances of dependence were associated to: cutting toenails; performing household chores; presenting geriatric problems; urinary incontinence; time of diagnosis of diabetes; falls in the past year; and physical inactivity. Conclusion: considering the positive association of diabetes mellitus to the increased chance of dependence among older adults, there is need for direction and adoption of effective measures to ensure the functionality and quality of life of older adults with diabetes mellitus in a fair and democratic way.

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the physical properties of the seeds of Moquiniastrum polymorphum when processed by mini-SAS, X-ray and seed blower systems. The seeds were purchased from Seeds Caiçara, located in Penápolis-SP. After purchase, the seed lot was characterized by standard tests. In the X-ray test the seeds were classified according to their internal morphology as filled, unfilled or malformed. The seed blower was set at six opening settings, resulting in light and heavy fractions. The evaluations were performed by weighing the seeds that remained in the blower (heavy fraction) and by the amount of filled seeds indicated by the X-ray test. The germination tests were composed of four replicates of 50 seeds. The mini-SAS was used for external evaluation. It was concluded that the combined use of the seed blower and the X-ray test was efficient for the evaluation and determination of the physical quality of the seeds of M. polymorphum. The seed blower at opening settings 5 resulted in the best lot quality. The external parameters were not able to qualitatively evaluate the seeds of M. polymorphum.

Published: May 2018

Resumo A mastite bovina está associada a uma resposta antibacteriana endógena mediada pela produção de espécies reativas. Contudo, o excesso de reações oxidativas pode desencadear apoptose celular agravando o quadro clínico dos animais. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resposta redox no plasma de vacas leiteiras com e sem mastite submetidas ou não ao tratamento com antibioticoterapia. As vacas foram divididas em Grupo Controle (G1), vacas sem mastite; grupo G2, vacas com mastite sem tratamento com antimicrobianos; grupo G3, vacas com mastite tratadas com antibiótico. As amostras sanguíneas foram coletadas após a primeira ordenha da manhã. Foram analisados a existência de lipoperoxidação (LPO) e os níveis de proteínas carboniladas (PCs), de glutationa reduzida (GSH), de ácido ascórbico (ASA) e de ácido úrico (AU). Os animais do G3 apresentaram aumento na LPO e das PCs. Em todos os grupos, os níveis de GSH permaneceram inalterados. Os valores plasmáticos de ASA e de AU mostraram-se diminuídos nos animais dos grupos G2 e G3. Os resultados demonstraram que o tratamento com antimicrobianos parece agravar os danos oxidativos presentes na mastite bovina, reforçando a importância da busca por alternativas terapêuticas a fim de minimizar esse efeito.
PROTAGONISMO PARA UMA COMPREENSÃO SISTÊMICA SOBRE ACIDENTES DE TRABALHO E ANOMALIAS ORGANIZACIONAIS
Authors: Lopes Manoela Gomes Reis , Vilela Rodolfo Andrade de Gouveia , Querol Marco Antônio Pereira
Published: May 2018

Resumo As investigações de acidentes e anomalias organizacionais são tradicionalmente baseadas em consultorias, análises internas ou externas às instituições que geralmente não conseguem engajamento e participação dos atores internos tanto no diagnóstico como na construção de soluções. Objetivou-se analisar se o método intervencionista Laboratório de Mudanças, empregado na compreensão dos determinantes organizacionais e das condições latentes de acidentes de trabalho, promove agência (protagonismo) e aprendizado expansivo dos atores envolvidos e contribui para visualizar e construir possíveis alterações na concepção e desenvolvimento da atividade de construção de grandes obras. Foram examinadas seis sessões do Laboratório de Mudanças, a fim de identificar os microciclos de aprendizado propiciados pelas séries de dupla estimulação. As sessões resultaram no engajamento dos atores que criaram seus próprios artefatos ou se apropriaram de conceitos ou modelos, tais como linha do tempo da obra, círculo vicioso, sistema de atividade, identificação de contradições na origem das anomalias e indicação de soluções para obras futuras. O estudo evidenciou que o Laboratório de Mudanças se apresentou propício à investigação de causas sistêmicas de acidentes e anomalias, revelando que a metodologia é potente para o aprendizado organizacional coletivo, uma vez que o grupo se engaja na compreensão, na análise e na busca de soluções.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a correlação entre desvantagem vocal e a qualidade de vida em deglutição de indivíduos que foram submetidos ao tratamento quimiorradioterápico para câncer de laringe. Método Estudo transversal, observacional e quantitativo do qual participaram 14 indivíduos do gênero masculino diagnosticados com câncer de laringe, que, para tratamento, fizeram uso exclusivo de quimiorradioterapia. Aplicaram-se os instrumentos Índice de Desvantagem Vocal e Protocolo de Qualidade de Vida em Deglutição SWAL-QoL. Fez-se análise descritiva e, em seguida, aplicou-se o teste de Correlação de Spearman para verificar se havia correlação entre os escores dos instrumentos aplicados. Foram considerados estatisticamente significativos os valores de p ≤ 0,05. Resultados Não houve correlação significativa entre os domínios total do IDV e global do SWAl-QoL, porém houve correlação significante entre os domínios “Funcional” do IDV e os domínios “Fadiga” e “Social” do Swal-Qol; domínio “Orgânico” do IDV com o domínio “Social” do SWAL-QoL; escore total do IDV, com o domínio de “Deglutição como um fardo” do SWAL-QoL. Além disso, foi possível observar que o tratamento quimiorradioterápico ocasionou maior impacto em relação à voz do que em relação à deglutição para os pacientes estudados. Conclusão Os dados demonstraram correlação significante entre a desvantagem vocal e o impacto da qualidade de vida em deglutição de pacientes com câncer de laringe submetidos à quimiorradioterapia, podendo afetar seu estado emocional e sua socialização, piorando assim, sua qualidade de vida de modo geral.

RESUMO Objetivo investigar o desempenho de crianças falantes do Português Europeu em prova brasileira de vocabulário expressivo, buscando apontar se existem diferenças entre as faixas etárias e o gênero, além de verificar sua aplicabilidade nesta população. Método a amostra foi constituída de 150 crianças em desenvolvimento típico, de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 5 e 6 anos. Todas frequentavam escolas de ensino públicas na região norte de Portugal. Para avaliação do desempenho semântico, foi utilizada a prova do vocabulário expressivo do teste de linguagem infantil – ABFW, considerando a porcentagem de designações verbais usuais e a classificação (adequado / inadequado) de acordo com os valores de referência brasileiros. Resultados o desempenho das crianças portuguesas indicou que aos 6 anos elas têm maior porcentagem de acertos no vocabulário expressivo. Quanto ao gênero, houve apenas diferenças pontuais: as meninas demonstraram maior domínio nos campos semânticos vestuário (em ambas as idades) e móveis e utensílios (aos 5 anos), já os meninos demonstraram maior domínio no campo semântico meios de transporte (6 anos). Com relação à classificação, não houve diferença entre as faixas etárias no desempenho geral, apenas o campo semântico formas e cores teve mais indivíduos de 6 anos com desempenho inadequado. Conclusão os valores de referência adotados na população brasileira para classificação do desempenho indicaram que mais de 80% das crianças de cada faixa etária poderiam ser classificadas com desempenho adequado, o que sugere que tal prova possua potencial como instrumento de avaliação quantitativa do vocabulário em Português Europeu nesta faixa etária.
Evolutionary dynamics of Cucurbita argyrosperma from the Mesoamerican domestication center using SSR molecular markers
Authors: Priori Daniela , Villarreal Daniel Zizumbo , Ek Víctor Manuel de Jesús Canché , Limones-Briones Verónica , Barbieri Rosa Lía
Published: May 2018

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the evolutionary dynamics of the wild-weedy-domestic gene pool of Cucurbita argyrosperma squash by estimating the levels of genetic diversity and gene flow in the putative area of its domestication. Nine populations were collected, and DNA was extracted from young leaves harvested separately from approximately 20 individuals in each population. The DNA fragments were amplified with eight pairs of SSR primers and separated by electrophoresis in 5% denaturing polyacrylamide gels. Genetic diversity and the amount of gene flow were estimated in the populations, and Bayesian grouping was used to determine the levels of gene infiltration and probability of ancestry. The ethnobotanical exploration indicated that the evolutionary dynamics in the area occurred under five different ecological scenarios. Eighty-seven alleles with 75% to 100% polymorphic loci were identified. The greater genetic diversity in the weedy-domestic populations may have been the product of recombination due to the high gene flow between these populations promoted by pollinators and human selection. There is high gene flow between the wild and cultivated populations of C. argyrosperma in its domestication centre, highlighting the importance of conserving and maintaining these genetic resources.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to standardize and validate an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-Elisa), as a low-cost tool, to monitor the presence of aflatoxin in common and blanched peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) in the production chain. The presence of aflatoxin B1, moisture content, and water activity were analyzed in 60 samples of the peanut cultivar Runner IAC 886, from the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 harvests of the region of Alta Paulista, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The validation showed an adequate linearity (R2 = 0.999), and limits of detection and quantification of 1.13 and 3.59 μg kg-1, respectively. Recovery rates of 104, 102, and 107% at the concentrations of 4, 10, and 20 μg kg-1 aflatoxin B1, respectively, were also recorded. The ic-Elisa showed a good reproducibility with a high-intraday precision, with 1.87% coefficient of variation (CV), and interday precision with 6.75% CV. The moisture content ranged from 4.0 to 7.2% (mean of 5.8%), and the water activity from 0.4848 to 0.6997 (mean of 0.5990) for the tested samples. Aflatoxin B1 was present in concentrations ranging from 1.13 to 29.2 μg kg-1, with only two samples (3.3%) exceeding the maximum allowed limit of 20 μg kg-1. The ic-ELISA developed here is an accessible tool for the rapid monitoring of aflatoxin contamination in the peanut production chain.

Published: May 2018

ABSTRAKSTUDI  PENGOTOR PADA PENDINGIN PRIMER REAKTOR RSG GAS SETELAH  30 TAHUN BEROPERASI. Sistem pendingin primer reaktor dengan air sebagai media berfungsi sebagai pendingin, moderator dan perisai radiasi. Setelah beroperasi selama 30 tahun diduga terdapat pengotor yang mengendappada dasar kolam, yang berasal dari produk korosi teraktivasi maupun akibat kegiatan pemanfaatan reaktor. Untuk mengurangi jumlah endapan pengotor dan mengetahui jenis nuklida yang terkandung didalamnya maka dilakukan penyedotan air dasar kolam reaktor dengan pompa benam pada saat reaktor shut down di akhir teras 91. Air hasil penyedotan dicacah menggunakan Multi channel analyzer (MCA) Ortec A65-B32 Maestro-32 dengan detektor HPGe. Hasil pencacahan menunjukkan adanya nuklida Cr-51, Sb-124, Sb-125, Sc-46, Fe-59, Zn-65 dan Co-60. Endapan yang terbentuk dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode AAN. Hasil analisis endapan menunjukkan adanya kesamaan dengan nuklida yang teridentifikasi dalam sampel air hasil penyedotan. Beberapa jenis unsur yang sama juga teridentifikasi dalam air bekas pencucian batu topaz pra iradiasi.  Hasil pemantauan rutin  terhadap kualitas air pendingin menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas nuklida yang teridentifikasi masih berada dibawah nilai yang tercantum dalam dokumen Laporan Analisis Keselamatan. Ini disebabkan karena  sistem purifikasi yang berfungsi dengan baik. Namun demikian penyedotan secara berkala perlu dilakukan untuk mengurangi pengotor yang mengendap didasar tangki kolam reaktor, disamping itu perlu diperhatikan pula proses pencucian batu topaz pra iradiasi sesuai dengan prosedur yang ditetapkan  untuk memperkecil kemungkinan terbentuknya pengotor dalam sistem pendingin primer. Kata Kunci : Pendingin primer, reaktor,  pengotor, produk korosi.

Published: May 2018

Food waste is becoming an important issue in light of population growth and global food security concerns. However, data on food wastage are limited, especially for developing countries. Global estimates suggest that households in developed countries waste more food than those in developing countries, but these estimates are based on assumptions that have not been tested. We therefore set out to present primary data relating to household food waste disposal for South Africa within the sub-Saharan African context. As the Gauteng Province contributes about 45% of the total municipal waste generated in South Africa, the case study area covers two of the large urban metropolitan municipalities in Gauteng, namely Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg, with a combined population of 8.33 million, representing nearly 15% of the South African population. Municipal solid waste characterisation studies using bulk sampling with randomised grab sub-sampling were undertaken over a 6-week period during summer in 2014 (Johannesburg) and 2016 (Ekurhuleni), covering a representative sample of the municipal waste collection routes from households in each of the two surveyed municipalities. The food waste component of the household waste (excluding garden waste) was 3% in Ekurhuleni and 7% in Johannesburg. The results indicate that an average of 0.48 kg (Ekurhuleni) and 0.69 kg (Johannesburg) of food waste (including inedible parts) is disposed of into the municipal bin per household per week in the two municipalities, respectively. This translates into per capita food waste disposal of 8 kg and 12 kg per annum, respectively, in South Africa as compared to the estimated 6–11 kg per annum in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia. 
Significance:

Research on food waste in developing countries is limited.
This study is the first of its kind undertaken in South Africa.
Food waste research is important to address food security issues.
This study provides evidence to support Sustainable Development Goal 12.3.

¿Son posibles otras educaciones para indígenas dentro del sistema escolar tradicional? Análisis de un caso en el nordeste argentino
Authors: Artieda Teresa Laura
Published: May 2018

El presente artículo analiza las características que asume un proceso de demanda de autonomía por parte de organizaciones Qom, Wichí y Moqoit que actualmente se desenvuelve en la provincia del Chaco, en el noreste de Argentina. Los indígenas aspiran al manejo de las escuelas del sistema estatal a las que asisten los miembros de esos pueblos, para tener la libertad de construir una educación con sus propias manos.El trabajo comienza con una presentación sucinta del escenario étnico-político en el que tiene lugar el proceso. Es una introducción necesaria para ubicar el presente en perspectiva histórica y regional. Posteriormente, se desarrollan aspectos del caso en estudio que consideramos relevantes. Se narra la historia de deliberaciones que culminó en la sanción de una normativa que regula la autonomía buscada, se exponen y analizan las demandas en las voces de indígenas participantes y los sentidos fijados en la legislación. Se ponen de manifiesto las divergencias, las oposiciones, los logros y los límites. Se problematiza acerca de un campo conflictivo en el cual Estado y pueblos indígenas no aparecen como bloques homogéneos confrontados entre sí, sino que expresan desacuerdos internos. Se reflexiona acerca de los desafíos, las posibilidades y los condicionantes de la autonomía gestada desde abajo que demanda ser reconocida por el Estado y desarrollarse dentro de la escolarización oficial. Normativas provinciales, proyectos de ley, entrevistas a funcionarios ministeriales[1] y a docentes indígenas involucrados en el proceso[2], diarios locales, registros de campo[3], sumado a investigaciones anteriores, son el material principal del que se dispuso para este trabajo.[1] Se entrevistó al Ministro de Educación, Cultura, Ciencia y Tecnología y a la Subsecretaria de Interculturalidad y Plurilingüismo, quienes ocupaban esos cargos durante el período en estudio. Serán referenciados respectivamente como M y S.[2] Se realizaron entrevistas a dos docentes qom con roles protagónicos en los procesos de redacción, debate y sanción de las dos leyes de educación que se citan, uno de ellos integra la organización de Docentes Autoconvocados y otro la Asociación Civil Napalpí. Serán referenciados respectivamente como DA y AN.  [3] Registro del debate entre referentes indígenas, dirigentes de sindicatos docentes y legisladores de la Comisión de Educación de la Cámara de Diputados de la provincia del Chaco, agosto 2013.

Authors: Kokare Maija , Strautins Karlis
Published: May 2018

Effective, meaningful and balanced use of information communication technologies (ICT) for teaching and learning is essential for meeting challenges of 21st century; however, practices of blended learning (a combination of face-to-face and online instruction) in Latvia are rather developed by particular teachers than organized as evidence-based policies of ICT integration in teaching and learning at schools. The research is aimed to explore the issues related to setting up blended learning as school policy from leadership perspective, and is designed as the case study by combining: 1) piloting results of the program “Curriculum design for Blended Learning” for leadership teams (5 secondary schools in Latvia); 2) developing the self-evaluation tool for school readiness for blended learning; 3) analysis of the main leadership challenges for setting up blended learning in schools. The study results contribute ongoing processes of introducing blended learning at schools by linking both leadership, management and pedagogical perspectives.

Authors: Glushenko Olga , Korenetskaya Irina , Kuznetsova Ekaterina
Published: May 2018

The article deals with the aspect of the language acquisition through the use of socioculturally contextualized educational materials and applying particular strategies and techniques to improve communicative skills of the students. We have defined a motivation-stimulating sociocultural principle, and presented both theoretical and practical items in terms of socioculturally contextualized educational materials based on the mentioned above principle. The social demand for a linguistically competent personality faces the problem of the lack of the proper effective educational methods in the classroom. The aim of the research is to study the theory and practice of developing the communicative competence via the innovative approaches in language education. The article also introduces the concept of multiculturalism and global citizenship, national values and beliefs in language education as  innovative principles of education, interest to a human being and to another culture as a life skill, we study the definitions of multiculturalism and the phenomenon of interest to a personality, we, identify various types and components within the complex structure of multiculturalism; describe the ways of applications of  the principles of multiculturalism into the classroom. We also suggest a model of developing the communicative competence through innovative approaches (with stages, particular algorithms for a teacher, indicators in students’ behavior).

Shift work is prevalent in service industries such as hospitals that provide 24-hour coverage. There is no common accepted definition of shift work, but usually shift work is defined as work hours that are scheduled outside daylight (6 am–6 pm) hours. Purpose of study is to compare quality of sleep, anxiety and depression among nurses working daily and shifts in Latvia. In this study 4 research tools were used: a demographic questionnaire, Beck depression survey (BDI), The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Research results showed that nurses in shifts have higher mean value scores than day time working nurses in all indicators – depression, anxiety and sleep quality. This research is meaningful due to the fact that it allows to acknowledge and evaluate the role of shift work on nurses health particularly on mood disorders and sleep quality.
EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING IN SCHOOLS
Authors: Elksne Gunita , Rubene Zanda
Published: May 2018

The goal of the paper was to research the emotional well-being of students, teachers, and factors that impact it using quantitative research methods. Research was a case study and reflects a situation in one particular school. Emotional well-being plays an important role in personality development. Presence or absence of emotions like joy, satisfaction, trust, and reliance determines the perception, thinking, and actions of students. Positive emotions cause energetic and functional mobilization of the central nervous system and the whole human organism, promotes purposeful actions by connecting cognitive processes with fulfillment of student’s current needs. Emotions either enable or disable the learning process for a student. If positive emotions are absent, brain is in a passive state - active learning starts when emotions activate the brain. The impact of emotions on a student in the learning process can be mainly observed through attention that is payed towards studying; however, positive emotions that are connected to studying can also promote student’s interest in the study subject. Positive emotions can encourage several abilities like interest, enthusiasm, optimism, loyalty and the motivation to act. In addition, thinking can also be enabled, as well as an improvement in the ability to learn new things. These abilities make the learning process more productive. As a large part of students day is spent at school their emotional well-being is directly related to emotional well-being of pedagogues. It is crucial that a pedagogue is able to be aware of their own emotions and feelings and knows how to accept them and use them in solving pedagogical situations, as well as improving of his/her own life while still acting within professional ethical norms.
