Developing eco-construction at the risk of vernacular building cultures Case of Moroccan mountain villages in post-earthquake context
Authors: BELAHNECH Kenza
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Growing environmental concerns have renewed interest in natural materials such as stone and earth within the building sector and public institutions. However, there are apprehensions regarding the decline of traditional technical knowledge and the inclination of rural populations to construct dwellings using local resources in remote areas. This paper presents a methodology for studying building cultures and investigates the effects of state intervention and construction sector stakeholders on vernacular building practices of mountain villages. The study examines eight ecological worksites in the Assif El Mal district of Chichaoua, Morocco, as part of the post-earthquake reconstruction program. Research methods included focus groups with beneficiaries, interviews with local master builders, analysis of design documents, and site observations. The findings indicate that these interventions introduce administrative complexity into the vernacular construction process, while also challenging the credibility of local builders. The design team manages the oversight of construction inspired by local techniques, although they face challenges, in implementing improvements for seismic resistance and building durability. The paper offers practical recommendations to enhance coordination between state and professional management and vernacular networks of mediation and organization, thereby reinforcing local knowledge and technical autonomy in natural building.

Published: January 2025

This paper examines quality assurance as an effective tool for organizational development, reviewing the theories and history of quality management. After describing the theoretical foundations used in the USA, focusing on heavy industries, it discusses European models such as TQM, ISO and EFQM systems in more detail, then moves on to critical approaches, especially with regard to the applicability and effectiveness of quality assurance in education and higher education. The second half of this paper focuses specifically on quality assurance in higher education, in particular European standards, approaching it from the perspective of internationalisation. In this context, this paper addresses the issues of brain drain, digital campus, stakeholder involvement and student-centredness. Finally, the paper concludes that quality assurance in higher education is not only an essential but a necessary process as well, which can also be the most effective tool for organizational development.
A passzív rezisztencia politikai gazdaságtana: száz éve született Jászay Antal
Authors: Czeglédi Pál
Published: January 2025

This short essay is aimed at commemorating Antal Jászay, or Anthony de Jasay, who made his mark at the interface of political philosophy and public choice, and 2025 is the 100th anniversary of his birth. His relative obscurity is due both to his avoidance of the institutions of the academic world and to the ‘conservative anarchist’ conclusions of his philosophy. However, Jasay is a classic in public choice literature who should not be forgotten – which, of course, would require getting to know him first.

The Bio Steel Cycle Meets Indoor Farming - CCUS with the SusCiP Principle in Agriculture
Authors: Kiessling Sandra
Published: January 2025

The World climate is changing, with a great impact on global food production systems. Extreme weather events, floods, wildfires and draughts are phenomena of disrupted previously stable natural weather patterns, which are vital for crop production and animal husbandry alike. Most of the World’s food is produced in temperate climatic zones rich in arable land and those are affected by the increasing unpredictability of previously naturally occurring seasons and weather conditions. This work aims to provide a possible sustainable solution to food production challenges under the pressures of climate change. Changing food production methods by moving to indoor agriculture poses great challenges and immense opportunities at the same time. Technical solutions are currently researched and explored by innovators, governments and industry leaders alike. The previously developed Bio Steel Cycle can be seen as the nucleus for other industries, including food production, and could be the starting point for a new standard in all production systems: The SusCip principle.
Effectiveness of Remote Patient Monitoring Equipped With an Early Warning System in Tertiary Care Hospital Wards: Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Lakshman Pavithra , Gopal Priyanka T , Khurdi Sheen
Published: January 2025

Background

Monitoring vital signs in hospitalized patients is crucial for evaluating their clinical condition. While early warning scores like the modified early warning score (MEWS) are typically calculated 3 to 4 times daily through spot checks, they might not promptly identify early deterioration. Leveraging technologies that provide continuous monitoring of vital signs, combined with an early warning system, has the potential to identify clinical deterioration sooner. This approach empowers health care providers to intervene promptly and effectively.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the impact of a Remote Patient Monitoring System (RPMS) with an automated early warning system (R-EWS) on patient safety in noncritical care at a tertiary hospital. R-EWS performance was compared with a simulated Modified Early Warning System (S-MEWS) and a simulated threshold-based alert system (S-Threshold).

Methods

Patient outcomes, including intensive care unit (ICU) transfers due to deterioration and discharges for nondeteriorating cases, were analyzed in Ramaiah Memorial Hospital’s general wards with RPMS. Sensitivity, specificity, chi-square test for alert frequency distribution equality, and the average time from the first alert to ICU transfer in the last 24 hours was determined. Alert and patient distribution by tiers and vitals in R-EWS groups were examined.

Results

Analyzing 905 patients, including 38 with deteriorations, R-EWS, S-Threshold, and S-MEWS generated more alerts for deteriorating cases. R-EWS showed high sensitivity (97.37%) and low specificity (23.41%), S-Threshold had perfect sensitivity (100%) but low specificity (0.46%), and S-MEWS demonstrated moderate sensitivity (47.37%) and high specificity (81.31%). The average time from initial alert to clinical deterioration was at least 18 hours for RPMS and S-Threshold in deteriorating participants. R-EWS had increased alert frequency and a higher proportion of critical alerts for deteriorating cases.

Conclusions

This study underscores R-EWS role in early deterioration detection, emphasizing timely interventions for improved patient outcomes. Continuous monitoring enhances patient safety and optimizes care quality.

Published: January 2025

Background

Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms. Recently, dance has started to be considered an effective intervention for people with PD. Several findings in the literature emphasize the necessity for deeper exploration into the synergistic impacts of dance therapy and exergaming for PD management. Moreover, socially engaging robotic platforms equipped with advanced interaction and perception features offer potential for monitoring patients’ posture and enhancing workout routines with tailored cues.

Objective

This paper presents the results of the Social Robotics for Active and Healthy Ageing (SI-Robotics) project, aimed at designing an innovative rehabilitation program targeted at seniors affected by (early-stage) PD. This study therefore aims to assess the usefulness of a dance-based rehabilitation program enriched by artificial intelligence–based exergames and contextual robotic assistance in improving motor function, balance, gait, and quality of life in patients with PD. The acceptability of the system is also investigated.

Methods

The study is designed as a technical feasibility pilot to test the SI-Robotics system. For this study, 20 patients with PD were recruited. A total of 16 Irish dance–based rehabilitation sessions of 50 minutes were conducted (2 sessions per week, for 8 wks), involving 2 patients at a time. The designed rehabilitation session involves three main actors: (1) a therapist, (2) a patient, and (3) a socially interacting robot. To stimulate engagement, sessions were organized in the shape of exergames where an avatar shows patients the movements they should perform to correctly carry out a dance-based rehabilitation exercise.

Results

Statistical analysis reveals a significant difference on the Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment scale, both on balance and gait aspects, together with improvements in Short Physical Performance Battery, Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale–III, and Timed Up and Go test, underlying the usefulness of the rehabilitation intervention on the motor symptoms of PD. The analysis of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology subscales provided valuable insights into users’ perceptions and interactions with the system.

Conclusions

This research underscores the promise of merging dance therapy with interactive exergaming on a robotic platform as an innovative strategy to enhance motor function, balance, gait, and overall quality of life for patients grappling with PD.

Published: January 2025

Background

With the development of the internet, health care websites have become increasingly important by enabling easy access to health information, thereby influencing the attitudes and behaviors of individuals toward health issues. However, few studies have addressed public access to health information and self-diagnosis.

Objective

This study investigated the background factors and status of cyberchondria severity among college students by conducting a nationwide sample survey using the Cyberchondria Severity Scale. Further, we explored the perspective of eHealth literacy of those with scores higher than 1 SD from the mean by analyzing their recent experiences using web-based health information.

Methods

A nationally representative sample of college students was surveyed, and 802 valid responses were obtained (male: 435/802, 54.2%; female: 367/802, 45.8%; mean age 20.3, SD 1.4 years). The Cyberchondria Severity Scale was used, which consisted of 4 dimensions (increased anxiety, obsessive-compulsive hypochondria, perceived controllability, and web-based physician-patient interaction). Additionally, we recruited 9 volunteers who scored more than 1 SD above the mean for in-depth interviews on their web-based health information–seeking behaviors.

Results

Significant differences were found across the 4 dimensions of cyberchondria severity (F3,2403=256.26; P<.001), with perceived controllability scoring the highest (mean 2.75, SD 0.87) and obsessive-compulsive hypochondria scoring the lowest (mean 2.19, SD 0.77). Positive correlations were observed between perceived controllability, web-based physician-patient interactions, increased anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive hypochondria (r=0.46-0.75, P<.001). Regression analysis indicated that health concern significantly predicted perceived controllability (β coefficient=0.12; P<.05) and web-based physician-patient interaction (β coefficient=0.16; P<.001). Interview data revealed that students often experienced heightened anxiety (8/9, 89%) and stress (7/9, 78%) after exposure to web-based health information, highlighting the need for improved health literacy and reliable information sources.

Conclusions

The study identified both benefits and risks in college students’ use of web-based health information, emphasizing the importance of critical consciousness and eHealth literacy. Future research should examine how college students move from self-awareness to actionable change and the development of critical health literacy, which are essential for effective digital health engagement.

From Theory to Practice: Viewpoint on Economic Indicators for Trust in Digital Health (Preprint)
Authors: Gille Felix , Maaß Laura , Ho Benjamin , Srivastava Divya
Published: January 2025

UNSTRUCTURED

User trust is pivotal for the adoption of digital health systems interventions (DHI). In response, numerous trust-building guidelines have recently emerged targeting DHIs such as artificial intelligence. The common aim of these guidelines aimed at private sector actors and government policy makers is to build trustworthy DHI. While these guidelines provide some indication of what trustworthiness is, the guidelines typically only define trust and trustworthiness in broad terms, they rarely offer guidance about economic considerations that would allow implementers to measure and balance trade-offs between costs and benefits. These considerations are important when deciding how best to allocate scarce resources (eg, financial capital, workforce, or time). The missing focus on economics undermines the potential usefulness of such guidelines. We propose the development of actionable trust-performance-indicators (including but not limited to surveys) to gather evidence on the cost-effectiveness of trust-building principles as a crucial step for successful implementation. Furthermore, we offer guidance on navigating the conceptual complexity surrounding trust and on how to sharpen the trust discourse. Successful implementation of economic considerations is critical to successfully build user trust in DHI.
The Association Between the Digital Divide and Health Inequalities Among Older Adults in China: Nationally Representative Cross-Sectional Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Wu Mengqiu , Xue Yongxi , Ma Chengyu
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Health inequalities among older adults become increasingly pronounced as aging progresses. In the digital era, some researchers argue that access to and use of digital technologies may contribute to or exacerbate these existing health inequalities. Conversely, other researchers believe that digital technologies can help mitigate these disparities.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the digital divide and health inequality among older adults and to offer recommendations for promoting health equity.

METHODS

Data were obtained from the 2018 and 2020 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Physical, mental, and subjective health were assessed using the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale, the Mini-Mental State Examination scale, and a 5-point self-rated health scale, respectively. The chi-square and rank sum tests were used to explore whether internet use and access were associated with health inequality status. After controlling for confounders, multiple linear regression models were used to further determine this association. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using propensity score matching, and heterogeneity was analyzed for different influencing factors.

RESULTS

The 2018 analysis highlighted widening health disparities among older adults due to internet access and use, with statistically significant increases in inequalities in self-rated health (3.9%), ADL score (5.8%), and cognition (7.5%). Similarly, internet use widened gaps in self-rated health (7.5%) and cognition (7.6%). Conversely, the 2020 analysis demonstrated that internet access improved health disparities among older adults, reducing gaps in self-rated health (3.8%), ADL score (2.1%), instrumental ADL score (3.5%), and cognition (7.5%), with significant results, except for ADL. Internet use also narrowed disparities, with significant effects on self-rated health (4.8%) and cognition (12.8%). The robustness of the results was confirmed through propensity score–matching paired tests. In addition, the study found heterogeneity in the effects of internet access and use on health inequalities among older adults, depending on sex, age, education, and region.

CONCLUSIONS

The impact of internet access and use on health inequalities among older adults showed different trends in 2018 and 2020. These findings underscore the importance of addressing the challenges and barriers to internet use among older adults, particularly during the early stages of digital adoption. It is recommended to promote equitable access to the health benefits of the internet through policy interventions, social support, and technological advancements.

Los humedales generalmente se relacionan directamente con el agua subterránea, que constituye la principal fuente para los ecosistemas terrestres dependientes de sus descargas naturales en la superficie. Esta investigación analizó las condiciones topográficas y se enfocó en la diferenciación de las descargas naturales de agua subterránea en el humedal denominado Baño de San Ignacio, clasificado como sitio RAMSAR (No. 1981) y como Área Natural Protegida en el 2000, durante la temporada de estiaje del 2024. Se realizaron mediciones de parámetros hidrogeoquímicos de campo en los diversos cuerpos de agua, así como vuelos con un Vehículo Aéreo No Tripulado; lo que permitió identificar cuerpos de agua con características (temperatura, pH, conductividad eléctrica, oxígeno disuelto y potencial redox) muy contrastantes, así como una serie de depresiones topográficas y cauces de arroyos previamente no registrados. Las condiciones geológicas particulares condicionan la presencia de 1,644 depresiones topográficas, predominando las que tienen menor índice de circularidad (1.02-1.52) y de alargamiento (1.0-2.1), además de mayor índice de forma (0.3-0.9) y de elongación (0.7-1.1). De acuerdo con el número de Horton-Strahler se identificaron dos arroyos principales (con orden 7) que drenan el humedal, que se integran junto con un total de 21 cuerpos lagunares, 6 manantiales termales y 2 manantiales fríos. Los valores promedio de las características hidrogeoquímicas de campo de los manantiales termales (temperatura 34.4 ºC, 6.8 de pH, -226 mV ORP, OD menor que 0.5 mg/l y CE de 7,800 μS/cm), y cuerpos lagunares (temperatura 23.5ºC, 7.0 de pH, 32 mV ORP, OD 1.8 mg/l y CE de 1,800 μS/cm), sugieren que en el humedal descargan sistemas de flujo de agua subterránea de diferente trayectoria clasificados como regionales e intermedios. El estudio ratifica la dependencia del humedal en las descargas naturales de agua subterránea y la gran cantidad de depresiones topográficas sugiere que para la temporada de lluvias la cantidad de cuerpos lagunares se incrementará notablemente comparado con los identificados en la temporada de estiaje.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyse the legal regulation of narcotics addicts in Indonesia and legal protection for victims of drug abuse, the disharmony in legal substance regulation.  Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics in Indonesia establishes the legal framework for rehabilitation, protection and eradication of narcotics abuse at the national level. This regulation requires rehabilitation measures for narcotics users, especially those categorised as victims, and provides uniform law enforcement guidelines. On the other hand, regional regulations can expand and strengthen national regulations by adapting local approaches to suit the needs of local communities. This is legal research using qualitative research methods. Legal regulations for narcotics addicts in Indonesia are regulated in Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics with a rehabilitative approach, but it still faces various challenges in its implementation. In Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, the disharmony of articles can arise due to several factors, including differing interpretations, unclear legal norms, or inconsistency with other relevant regulations. What is often debated is the different approaches between rehabilitation for narcotics addicts and criminal punishment for narcotics crime perpetrators in the Narcotics Law. Article 54 states that narcotics addicts are required to undergo medical and social rehabilitation. On the contrary, Article 127 paragraph (1) asserts that narcotics users without rights or against the law are subject to imprisonment.

Published: January 2025

The inheritance rights  of nasabiyyah  children outside of marriage, religion or the state will not get inheritance because the status of the child  follows his mother, not his father. The serious problem is how to maintain the rights that should be obtained by children born out of wedlock, and whether the development of science and technology is ignored, even though in the rules of a change in a law is dependent on the time, place, and context of the problem. This study uses a comprehensive juridical law method that is comparatively analyzed to present data and facts from the perspective of positive law and Islamic law as well as the role of technology and science. The data is sourced from articles, books, legal rules and other juridical sources. This study concludes that in positive law, especially civil law of inheritance, the status of the child's inheritance rights outside of marriage can be recognized as long as the biological father recognizes the child's destiny as his destiny. As for Islamic civil law, there is no legal leniency for children outside of marriage, if the child is born without a clear status from both parents, then the child follows his mother and not his father. Islam has flexible laws that can adapt to the existing context. From the point of view of Islamic law, there are several ways to determine nasab, one of which is the qiyafah technique. The technique can be qiyas-kan with the reading of the nasab through a DNA test because it has almost the same legal 'illat. With the advancement of technology and the development of science, the method of determining the nasab can also be developed.
Reassessment of Islamic Legal Bases for Matrimonial Property in Malaysia
Authors: Jusoh Yusoff Amir Fazlim
Published: January 2025

Most Islamic countries do not implement laws related to matrimonial property (harta sepencarian). This is due to the absence of specific provisions in the Quran and hadith that permit such practices. However, Malaysia has long practiced this and has a comprehensive legal framework concerning matrimonial property. Given this, is the practice in Malaysia truly in line with the teachings of the Quran and hadith? Therefore, this study aims to revisit the foundations of Islamic law regarding the implementation of matrimonial property laws. This research adopts Islamic normative legal research based on the principles of usul al-fiqh. This study reveals that the legal foundations cited by proponents of matrimonial property implementation, which include 'urf, syirkah, istishab and maslahat mursalah are inaccurate and do not align with the principles of usul al-fiqh. Thus, a new principle or legal basis is needed to legitimize Islamic matrimonial property distribution in Malaysia.

The research questions focus on how ABA therapy aligns with the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah in ASD treatment. This qualitative study collected data from journal articles, reference books, and authoritative internet sources, which were thematically analyzed using an inductive approach. The findings indicate that ABA therapy plays a crucial role in helping individuals with ASD achieve the objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah, including the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage/dignity, and property. ABA therapy was found to be effective in enhancing the ability of individuals with ASD to understand and practice religious teachings, reducing harmful behaviors, obtaining proper nutrition, improving cognitive function and mental health, addressing problematic sexual behaviors, and increasing work capacity and independence.
The Special Act on Handling Medical Accident and its Criminal Validity
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Choi Min-Young
Published: January 2025

According to the Special Act on Handling Medical Accident presented through a government hearing on February 29, 2024, if a medical professional has subscribed to liability insurance, a public prosecution cannot be filed against the patient's will even if the patient is injured or seriously injured due to medical malpractice. In addition, if a medical professional has subscribed to comprehensive insurance, a public prosecution cannot be filed if the injury occurs due to medical malpractice, a public prosecution cannot be filed even if a serious injury occurs in the case of essential medical treatment, and a sentence can be reduced or exempted even if the patient dies during an essential medical treatment. This article aims to discuss the criminal validity of the main issues of this bill. The position of this article on this matter can be summarized as follows. First, if we want to focus on essential medical treatment as the legislative intent of this bill, we need to discuss the definition of the concepts of medical treatment and essential medical treatment more broadly. If the concept and scope of essential medical care are not clear or there is no agreement among other members of society, especially medical professionals, it is highly likely that not only will it violate the principle of clarity in criminal law, but compliance with the norms will also not occur. Second, it seems reasonable to distinguish between simple negligence, gross negligence, and professional negligence, and not apply special criminal punishment in cases of gross negligence by medical professionals. At this time, it seems that further discussion is needed on the criteria for distinguishing between gross negligence and simple negligence. Third, it seems unreasonable at present to apply special criminal punishment to the results of serious injury and death. There is room to argue that special punishment should be applied to the results of serious injury on the premise of the victim's expression of intent not to punish, but work should be done to adjust the relationship with other acts such as the Medical Dispute Mediation Act in advance.

Published: January 2025

This literature review explores the integrated propulsion strategy, a comprehensive corporate parenting model that reconciles industrial organization (IO) theory, resource-based view (RBV), and dynamic capabilities (DCs) in strategic management. The framework, encapsulated through positioning, picking, and propulsion, seamlessly integrates external threats, internal resource combinations, and perpetual capability renewal. It accentuates the strategic significance of resource redeployment, primarily through mergers and acquisitions (M&As), as a dynamic response mechanism to external pressures, contributing to sustained competitive advantage (CA). The study advocates for supra-dynamic managerial capabilities in the post-pandemic landscape, surpassing traditional skills vital for navigating perpetual change, fostering stakeholder engagement, and driving innovation. Within the multi-business unit paradigm, the research proposes a framework elucidating the intricate relationships between business units and business models, providing insights for effective complexity management. The research integrates performance management metrics, encompassing sales growth, product quality, innovativeness, environmental, financial considerations, and practical guidance for corporations to formulate adaptive corporate parenting strategies, ensuring sustained growth in the dynamic business environment. The research seeks to provide a holistic corporate parenting strategy development to assist organizations in navigating complexity, responding to external pressures, and enhancing performance across their diverse business units, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on strategic management.

Published: January 2025

Developing supply chain performance (SCP) has been a significant challenge in the present era, specifically in manufacturing firms. Hence, implementing blockchain technology within the firms makes it possible to address these challenges. The present study explores the role of blockchain adoption (BA) towards supply chain innovation capabilities (SCICs), competitive performance (CP), SCP, and supply chain integration (SCI) among the managerial-level employees of manufacturing firms in Egypt. The study is quantitative and followed scholars like Jum’a (2023), Wamba et al. (2020), and Sheel and Nath (2019). The study applied convenience sampling techniques and gathered data through a survey tool. The study utilizes 324 valid cases to infer the outcomes. The path analysis suggests a positive impact of BA on SCICs, SCP, CP, and SCI. Besides, the effect of SCICs and CP on SCP appears positive. On the other hand, the study found a negative effect of SCI on SCP among the managerial-level employees of Egyptian manufacturing firms. The company supports manufacturing and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in enhancing performance by adopting efficient blockchain technology. Moreover, by adopting blockchain technology, the organization would improve its supply chain practices and generate massive productivity and profit.

This retrospective cohort study examined whether patients (n = 122) with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who participated in a pharmacist–primary care provider collaborative practice model (PPCPM) for diabetes management experienced greater decline in their A1C compared with patients who received usual care during the same period (June 2021 to June 2022). PPCPM patients experienced an A1C decline of ∼0.22% per month, whereas the mean A1C of patients in usual care did not change over the study period. Although participating in PPCPM was associated with a decline in A1C, number of visits with the pharmacist was not associated with either initial A1C or change in A1C for people in PPCPM.

Employees are one of the important elements in achieving company goals, therefore, employees as an important source in the success of a company should be considered, especially regarding their satisfaction at work or what is commonly known as job satisfaction. The objectives of this study are (1) Testing the effect of work-family conflict on job satisfaction in employees (2) Testing the effect of work-family conflict on job stress in employees. (3) Testing the effect of job stress on job satisfaction in employees. (4) Testing job stress in mediating the effect of work- family conflict on job satisfaction in employees. The population in this study were 119 employees. Sampling using purposive sampling method using criteria in the study amounted to 80 people. The data collection instrument uses a questionnaire with a Likert scale, each of which has been tested and has met the validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis using SmartPLS 3.0 tools. The results of this study indicate that (1) Work-family conflict has a negative and significant effect on job satisfaction in employees. (2) Work-family conflict has a positive and significant effect on job stress in employees. (3) Job stress has a negative and significant effect on job satisfaction in employees (4) Job stress mediates the effect of workfamily conflict on job satisfaction in employees.

O Cálculo Diferencial e Integral (CDI) é uma disciplina essencial para o ensino da Matemática e outras ciências. Apesar dessa importância, observamos um insucesso dos estudantes e elevados índices de reprovação ou evasão, o que justifica a relevância de considerar aspectos epistemológicos que possibilitam compreender diversos fenômenos no ensino dessa disciplina. Nesse sentido, propomos um estudo de elementos epistemológicos dos saberes de densidade e massa, por meio de integrais multivariacionais, visto que integral é um saber essencial para a área das exatas. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a elaboração e implementação de uma proposta de intervenção, centrada nas atividades de estudo e pesquisa, que ofereça aos estudantes de CDI oportunidades para explorar o conceito de integral de uma ou mais variáveis. Para tanto, realizamos uma investigação a partir da criação e implementação de uma intervenção baseada em episódios de resolução de tarefas, a fim de analisar os movimentos de generalização que os estudantes realizaram para definir uma integral definida multivariacional com base em integrais definidas de uma variável. Os resultados apontaram que os alunos mobilizaram um conjunto de conhecimentos de integrais múltiplas a partir do contexto de cálculo de massa em uma, duas e três dimensões. A generalização expansiva foi utilizada para expandir questões procedimentais do cálculo de uma integral, enquanto a generalização reconstrutiva foi utilizada na compreensão de aspectos estruturais da integral de Riemann de mais de uma variável.
Conceituando materiais curriculares formativos e discutindo seus atravessamentos no conhecimento profissional docente

A produção de materiais curriculares tem sido influenciada pela Reforma do Ensino Médio e pela homologação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular, especialmente os materiais que são avaliados e disponibilizados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático (PNLD). A última edição do PNLD destinada ao Ensino Médio trouxe inovações, a título de exemplo podemos citar: obras de formação continuada. Designamos essas obras como Materiais Curriculares Formativos, pois são concebidas para apoiar as aprendizagens dos professores em relação às teorizações que fundamentam as opções didáticas, metodológicas, conceituais e avaliativas referentes à Matemática e seu ensino. Este artigo orienta-se pelo objetivo de discutir oportunidades de aprendizagem de professores em Materiais Curriculares Formativos de Matemática. A abordagem metodológica empregada é qualitativa e exploratória, cujos procedimentos seguem o delineamento da análise documental. Os resultados revelam que os materiais examinados oferecem diferentes oportunidades de aprendizagem para os professores, que podem influenciar o planejamento e a realização das aulas. Esses materiais são uma fonte de aprendizagem para os professores, mas que devem ser usados de forma crítica e reflexiva, respeitando a liberdade e a autonomia destes profissionais.
Reflections about modeling processes: a case of translational motion in horizontal direction
Authors: Costa Junior Edson Ferreira da , Alvarenga Karly Barbosa
Published: January 2025

Generally, motions are not included in basic education, and only a static view of isometries is studied. The main purpose of this paper is to present some results of research on the analysis of modeling processes of isometric translation motion, carried out by first-year high school students from a public school in Goiás-Brazil. Data were collected from the participant’s resolutions in face to face and on line workshops, but not to do compared. The analyses were conducted qualitatively, according to the claim-making/participatory conception, where participatory action is dialectic and focuses on producing changes in practices. This research is characterized as exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory. The data were categorized and we observed that the modeling processes involved: a graphic geometric approach; arithmetic approach; algebraic approach; written maternal language; and written mathematical language.
