Formación integral para facilitadores
Authors: Silva Carla
Published: May 2020

RESUMENEl principal objetivo de este trabajo ha sido la elaboración de una estrategia metodológica para el desarrollo del proceso de formación pedagógico-didáctico para facilitadores, partiendo de que las Universidades pretenden vincular a su plantilla de catedráticos a personas que se destacan en su ejercicio profesional y que, por ende, considera que tienen mucho que enseñar pero, en algunas oportunidades, estos excelentes profesionales carecen de formación pedagógica-didáctica para el desarrollo de su práctica docente. Por lo anterior, se define la interrogante como problema de investigación: ¿Cómo contribuir a solucionar las deficiencias que presenta el proceso de formación pedagógico-didáctico en los facilitadores, para que sea un proceso sistémico y pertinente? Con un objetivo fundamental que se refiere a Diseñar una Estrategia Metodológica para el desarrollo del proceso de formación pedagógico-didáctico para facilitadores. Guiando este proceso investigativo se generaron algunas preguntas y tareas científicas utilizando los métodos teóricos, empíricos y estadísticos permitiendo estos el desarrollo de las tareas de investigación. En tal sentido dicha investigación está sustentada  teóricamente por Hernández y Sancho (1996:25) plantean que el tener conocimiento sobre un área específica, ser especialista o estudioso de una disciplina no implica de manera automática que pueda convertirse en enseñante con garantías de éxito. Y señalan que “saber la materia que se va a impartir, si bien es absolutamente necesario, no es condición suficiente para lograr o propiciar el aprendizaje del alumnado”. Concluyendo preliminarmente la solución a este problema es la aplicación de estrategias pedagógicas- didácticas por parte de los facilitadores.

Published: May 2020

As encefalites imunomediadas são um grupo de doenças inflamatórias do sistema nervoso central mediadas por anticorpos contra proteínas intracelulares ou anticorpos contra proteínas da superfície neuronal. Atingem estruturas cerebrais, tronco encefálicos, medula espinhal ou gânglios simpáticos e frequentemente precedem neoplasia oculta. Manifestando-se em jovens por mudanças comportamentais inexplicadas ou sintomas incomuns como coreia e disautonomia, podem ser confundidas com doenças psiquiátricas primárias. Descrevemos o caso de uma mulher de 26 anos, com relato de duas crises convulsivas, inicialmente controladas com levetiracetam; seguindo com sintomas de confusão mental, delírios e comportamentos estereotipados. Após ressonância magnética (RM) de crânio, eletroencefalograma (EEG) e estudo do líquor (LCR), foi identificado status epileptico refratário ao protocolo intensivo com anticonvulsivantes. Excluídas causas infeciosas, feito diagnóstico clínico de Encefalite Autoimune, tratada com sucesso com solumedrol (pulsoterapia) e imunoglobulina humana. Após 30 dias, houve recidiva com boa resposta ao uso de ciclofosfamida. Em seguida, foi realizado o painel de anticorpos de superfície que foi positivo para Anticorpos Anti-Receptor NMDA, confirmando o diagnóstico.

 

Encephalitis immunomatiated is a group of central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory diseases mediated by intracellular proteins antibodies or neuronal surface protein antibodies. They damage the brain, brainstem, spinal cord ou sympathetic ganglia structures, often precluding a neoplasm. They were affecting young people with unexplained compartmental changes or uncommon symptoms such as coreia or dysautonomia, which can be confounded by psychiatric disorders. This report is about a 26-years-old woman, with 2 seizures, initially controlled with levetiracetam, and worsed with mental confusion, psychosis e stereotyped movements. After brain magnetic resonance (MR), electroencephalogram (EEG), and lumbar puncture (LP), she was diagnosed by epileptic status refractory to intensive anticonvulsant protocol. After infectious diseases causes were excluded, the patient was clinically diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis. The first treatment was managed with immunosuppressant (methylprednisolone and human immunoglobulin). 30 days were relapsing, managed with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide, and planned 6-month mensal cyclophosphamide doses with sustained improvement. Later, the surface antibodies panel was positive to anti-NMDAR antibodies confirming the diagnosis.
Concept of model support for corporate social performance planning
Authors: Potrashkova Lyudmyla
Published: May 2020

Introduction. When planning socially responsible activities, the management of the company faces a problem.
The impact of such activities on the resource system and the potential of the enterprise is ambiguous and difficult to assess. On the one hand, socially responsible activities have a positive effect on the image of the enterprise, but on the other hand, they require additional expenditures of the enterprise's resources (since these measures are in essence aimed at ensuring an increased level of satisfaction of the interests of a wide range of stakeholders). This fact complicates the planning of socially responsible activities of the enterprise. As a consequence, enterprise management needs tools in the form of economic and mathematical models that would allow: to evaluate the impact of socially responsible activities on different types of enterprise resources and on its potential as a whole; to make decisions on planning of socially responsible activity of the enterprise on the basis of consideration of the task of reproduction of potential of the enterprise.
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to develop a concept for building model support for the planning of socially responsible enterprise activity, taking into account the impact of such activity on the enterprise's potential.
Results. To achieve this goal in the work on the basis of the analysis of the theory and practice of corporate social responsibility, formulated the concept that formulate requirements for model support for planning socially responsible activities of the enterprise. According to this concept, the planning of socially responsible activities should be based on an assessment of the enterprise's potential and its dynamics. In order to obtain a more accurate assessment of the impact of socially responsible enterprise activity on different types of resources and enterprise potential, model support for planning processes should include patterns of enterprise stakeholder behavior, taking into account the stakeholder social responsibility factor and the dynamics of the characteristics of their relations with the enterprise.
Conclusions. The proposed developments are aimed at enhancing the validity of planning of socially responsible activities of enterprises.

Introduction. The development of non-cash payments is the key to economic growth in any country, because on the one hand, the level of control over payments increases, and on the other - the volume of customer spending increases, which leads to increased consumption and GDP growth. However, current trends in e-commerce and online commerce require the emergence of new technological solutions in the form of electronic payment systems that can legally handle transactions with electronic money and cryptocurrencies. Given the rapid pace of growth in transactions through non-banking electronic payment systems, the issue of identifying obstacles to the development of such payment systems is urgent, especially in view of the need to ensure effective oversight of payments and the deduction of payments.
Purpose. The study of the main problems of development of non-banking payment systems in Ukraine in terms of their structural features and importance for the development of the national economy, as well as the development of recommendations for improving the right regulation of payment transactions with electronic money and cryptocurrencies.
Results. The features of the development of non-bank payment systems in Ukraine are investigated. The author classification of non-bank payment systems is offered. The main directions of development of electronic payment systems in Ukraine are identified and the obstacles to the integration of international electronic payment systems providing cryptocurrency payment services are highlighted. Measures to improve domestic legislation in the field of electronic payment and cryptocurrency based electronic payment systems are proposed, as well as recommendations on the creation of a state non-banking electronic payment system using blockchain technology to increase transparency and public procurement payments paying taxes.

Hidroponik merupakan salah satu metode pertanian yang sering diterapkan oleh para petani modern saat ini. Metode ini memiliki banyak sekali keunggulannya, salah satunya dapat ditanam ditempat yang terbatas dan hanya membutuhkan media pertumbuhan dengan menggunakan air dan nutrisi. Akan tetapi ada satu aspek yang perlu di perhatikan dalam berhidroponik yaitu nutrisi yang dibutuhkan oleh tanaman. Nutrisi ini terdiri dari PH dan TDS. Kandungan ini sangatlah berpengaruh pada proses pertumbuhan tanaman, maka dari itu ada besaran idealnya agar tanaman bias tumbuh secara maksimal. Untuk kandungan PH sekitar 5,5 – 6,5 PH dan TDS sekitar 1050 – 1200 PPM. Maka dari itu penulis membuat suatu alat yang bias mengatur kandungan TDS dan PH secara otomatis menggunakan metode fuzzy logic agar didapat besaran TDS dan PH yang ideal.Hasil yang didapatkan pada saat pengujian, fuzzy logic dapat berfungsi dengan menghasilkan pengukuran pada sensor PH yang memiliki error sekitar 4,83% dari nilai 5,5 – 6,5. Sedangkan untuk untuk pengujian sensor TDS memiliki error sebesar 8,29% dari nilai 1050 – 1200 ppm
Keep Calm and Study Abroad: The Effect of Learning Abroad on Student Mental Health
Authors: Bathke Amber , Kim Yang-Hyang (Ryoka)
Published: May 2020

This research set out to discover whether statistics would support the belief in the international education field that the stress of going abroad (adjusting to a new culture, missing home, being away from support network, etc.) can trigger mental health conditions in students participating in learning abroad programs. The study sought to glean on overall picture of student mental health abroad, as well as determine the percentage of students studying abroad who reported experiencing a diagnosed mental health condition while abroad, the nature of these diagnosed mental health conditions, the frequency of relapse/recurrence of existing conditions while abroad, the frequency and type of treatment received, and local attitude toward mental health conditions. The research was conducted by means of an online survey administered by the University of Minnesota’s Office of Measurement Services, which was sent by email to people who had participated in study abroad through the University of Minnesota’s Learning Abroad Center between Summer 2009 and Spring 2012, a total of 7,191 students. As the Learning Abroad Center, while serving University of Minnesota students first and foremost, also acts as a program provider recruiting students nationally, the participants’ home institutions were likely dozens of universities nationwide (though home institution information was not collected). We received 613 responses for a response rate of 8.52%. The data from the survey suggest, surprisingly, that in general, student mental health actually improves while abroad, an in fact, that skills learned during an international experience may contribute to improved mental health upon return.

This study investigates the impact of student teaching abroad on first-year teaching practices. In addition to the data sources included in previous research, this study includes observations and interviews during participants’ first year of teaching to uncover the meanings each assigned to her student teaching in China. Drawing on intercultural development theories and Holland’s social practice theory of identity, we found that all participants benefited from the experience; however, their backgrounds and teaching contexts differentiated how they translated the experience to shape their beliefs and teaching practices. Thus, teachers may gain more from international experience, as they self-author meaning, if they are guided through reflections tailored to their individual needs and teaching assignments.

Authors: Jochum Christopher J. , Rawlings Jared R. , Tejada Ana María
Published: May 2020

Teacher efficacy, or the degree to which teachers feel as though they can affect positive outcomes in their classrooms, has received considerable attention over the last three decades (Bandura 1977, 1997; Tschannen-Moran & Johnson, 2011). Research has shown that, among foreign language teachers, self-efficacy is associated with their language proficiency (Chacón, 2005; Yilmaz 2011) and students’ achievement (Swanson, 2014). The purpose of this qualitative inquiry was to better understand how the study abroad experience affected four, inservice Spanish teachers’ feelings of self-efficacy as it relates to language proficiency and instructional practice. Using a multiple case design (Stake 2006), we conducted interviews, recorded field note observations and collected participant reflection journals. Findings revealed that, as a result of the study abroad experience, participants described awareness of their foreign language proficiency, discussed re-assessing their classroom practice and explained a commitment to increasing target-language use in the classroom.
From Ideology to Dogma? A discussion about Femen, Aliaa Elmahdy, and Nudity in the Arab World
Authors: El Helou Maya
Published: May 2020

Looking at Aliaa Elmahdy’s act of protest through posting naked photos of herself on her blog, this paper studies the debates that followed. I complicate the juxtaposing between Femen’s tactics and Elmahdy’s act of nudity through engaging in questions of feminism/colonialism and feminism/conservatism. By examining articles that were written about Femen, nudity, Muslim women, and body politics, I show that the debates ran the risk of stabilizing feminism within static dogmatic beliefs.

Published: May 2020

The demand for halal cosmetics by consumers is seen to be increasingly growing in the last two years. The increase in demand is influenced by several factors such as psychological, product quality, religiosity, consideration for the future and attitude. Hence, this study aims to examine the factors that influence the purchase behavior of halal cosmetic among Malaysians. This paper presents the results of a pilot study. Empirical data was collected via the survey questionnaire. A total of 129 responses were collected and used for analysis. Using the correlation test it was found that there is a relationship between intention to purchase with attitude, psychological, product quality, religiosity, and consideration for the future. Nevertheless strength of the relationship varies. The strength of the relationship is highest for attitude and lowest for psychological. The results of this study will be used to refine the instrument and subsequently used to collect data from a larger pool of respondents.
A Proposed Conceptual Framework for Blockchain Technology in Halal Food Product Verification
Authors: Zainal Abidin Nuraslina , Putera Perdana Firdaus Fanny
Published: May 2020

Despite rooted from Islamic needs, Halal certification also attracts both Muslims and non-Muslims. In fact, the non-Muslim players are the ones dominating the industry. It is widely known that Halal food chain is quite vulnerable due to complications in maintaining Halal integrity, the necessity to prevent doubtful materials, lack of control of food norms, and the importance to retain high quality. The presence of Halal certification is a form of consumer protection and therefore, the integrity of Halal certification must be carefully monitored. There are some Halal violation cases and this can potentially affect the reputation of the Halal food products. Therefore, it is important to develop a system that integrates a verifiable, open, and safe shared database that is not run by a centralized operator. Blockchain technology is the one that offers such. The study presents a framework for blockchain technology for Halal product verification for manufactured food products. The results are desired to help the food industry players in maintaining a system that can improve the transparency and the integrity of their Halal food chain. The system also intends to ensure the affordability and accessibility of Halal certification for as many industry players as possible as blockchain technology is believed to remove the complications in the certification process and reduce paperwork related cost.

This study discusses the legal control over the safety of local cosmetics products and the level of consumer protection in Malaysia.  Basically, beauty is a way of life for women. Various alternatives are made to make the face look beautiful and perfect by using a variety of products available in the market. As a result, manufacturers are working to produce a wide range of promising products for a short period of time but use illicit substances that threaten consumers in Malaysia.The purpose of this study is to assess the level of legal control provided in the safety of cosmetics for consumers and consumer protection in Malaysia. The results of the study found that there were still many products containing prohibited substances in the market based on current issues which found that consumers experienced the harmful effects from the use of unsafe cosmetics. Therefore, the legal control laws provided can control this matter by giving fines and compounds to operators who still produce products containing these prohibited substances.
Uniqueness of spaces pretangent to metric spaces at infinity
Authors: Dovgoshey Oleksiy , Bilet Victoria
Published: May 2020

We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which an unbounded metric space \(X\) has, at infinity, a unique pretangent space \(\Omega^{X}_{\infty,\tilde{r}}\) for every scaling sequence \(\tilde{r}\). In particular, it is proved that \(\Omega^{X}_{\infty,\tilde{r}}\) is unique and isometric to the closure of \(X\) for every logarithmic spiral \(X\) and every \(\tilde{r}\). It is also shown that the uniqueness of pretangent spaces to subsets of a real line is closely related to the ''asymptotic asymmetry'' of these subsets.

Ķīnieši apgūst latviešu valodu: problēmas un risinājumi
Authors: Lu Yan
Published: May 2020

In the 21st century, especially after the 2010s, a new phenomenon in the field of Latvian teaching is observed in China: the Latvian Program was initiated in higher education institutions and more Chinese have started to learn Latvian. The causes for this situation are mainly as follows. Firstly, Latvian is one of the two remaining Baltic languages and it is of great value to academic researches. Secondly, as globalization goes deeper in the new century, the relations between China and the European Union (EU) also develop rapidly, thus boosting Chinese people’s interest in the EU’s member countries. Latvian is one of the official languages of the EU and it plays an important role in the China-Latvia and even the China-EU cooperation. Thirdly, since China proposed the 16+1 Format and The Belt and Road initiative, exchanges between China and Latvia have become more frequent.
The motivation for learning Latvian is easy to understand: some learners are students, who are interested in the language and prepare to conduct studies in Latvian; some are common people, who are attracted by the environment in Latvia and plan to work or live in Latvia. Although the reasons to learn Latvian may be various, Chinese learners of Latvian are all influenced by the same mother tongue and culture; therefore, they have similar learning difficulties and problems. To explore possible learning obstacles, there were designed and distributed questionnaires to 47 Chinese learners of Latvian, who are either students in China’s universities or Chinese in Latvia. In order to have a thorough understanding, this paper also invited ten Latvian teachers to join in, who all have experience of teaching Latvian to Chinese learners. The results obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed and sorted into the categories of language skills, including listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Latvian acquisition for Chinese learners is anew topic in teaching Latvian as a foreign language, and solutions to deal with the special learning difficulties and problems still need time to work out. This paper may provide some suggestions for future study. Firstly, most Chinese learners are visual learners, thus methods of visualization in learning process are very useful. Secondly, learning materials and practices should be tailored to the special difficulties of Chinese learners. Thirdly, to make the teaching process more systematic and targeted, teaching and research teams are suggested to include both Latvian and Chinese specialists in Latvian.
„Latviešu valoda zobārstniecības studentiem” – pirmā latviešu valodas kā svešvalodas mācību grāmata zobārstniecības studentiem
Authors: Kaija Inga , Laizāne Inga
Published: May 2020

Latvian as a foreign language is being learned both inside and outside Latvia. It is done in higher education institutions as well as various group language classes and individual lessons. The goals of learners range from professional and research-driven needs to personal interests.
A significant part of Latvian language learners in Latvia are international students who study in higher education institutions in Latvia. Those are not exclusively exchange students. There is a considerable number of international students who study full-time academic programs in universities of Latvia.
The first adult-oriented textbook of Latvian as a foreign language came out in 1960s. Since then, quite a lot of various learning materials have been created with 11 intermediary languages. However, the contents of almost all textbooks are targeted to people who have either a general or philological interest in Latvian, because in the higher education institutions outside Latvia, Latvian is often learned for research purposes as a part of philology studies.
The authors of the present paper – Inga Kaija and Inga Laizāne – teach Latvian to international students who study dentistry at Riga Stradiņš University in Latvia. These students have a specific goal when learning Latvian, namely, they have to be able to communicate to their patients in Latvian, which is using the language in a professional environment. The pre-existing textbooks are not suitable for reaching this goal in a relatively short time. Thus, a new textbook had to be created to support the learners’ needs. The textbook “Latvian for dentistry students” has been created to support acquisition of the basics of Latvian with the purpose of enabling a conversation between a dentist and a patient. The needs of the language learners have been acknowledged by employing the communicative approach but also including explanations on grammatical topics. A grammar overview is included in the end of the book. It could be useful for any adult learner of Latvian as a foreign language as well as teachers. Its target user is the practically, rather than academically inclined learner. This kind of grammar overview has not been included in any textbooks of Latvian before.

Authors: Machado C. M. , Santos M. F. , Carvalho J. R. , Mercorelli P.
Published: May 2020

This work aims to present the development and study of a nonlinear system structure capable of moving in one degree of freedom, performed by a brushless motor coupled to a propeller. For this, the mathematical modeling of the developed structure was based on resembling a simple physical pendulum. Regarding the system control, two techniques were considered: PID and Fuzzy, implemented in Matlab. Simulation tests were carried out to validate and compare the control technique results with different input signals. Both controller topologies tracked the respective setpoints, but Fuzzy controller had the best system performance. The structure developed can serve as a base platform for future improvements, studies, and experiment tests, such as the analysis of motion in the horizontal plane.

La función del corazón es de una dimensión mecánica que debe indagarse en los términos de su estructura. En la apreciación de su anatomía se halla el principio de la reflexión que llevó a investigaciones que explicasen su integridad organicofuncional. Si se hace una parada en las descripciones clásicas, se verá que la atención anatómica se prestó a sus superficies externa e interna, con muy poca importancia a la conformación muscular íntima. Se determinó de carácter homogéneo y sólido, con una contracción global uniforme y se soslayó que su capacidad mecánica exigía una reinterpretación de su anatomía espacial y de sus movimientos.

Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are little investigated, albeit they are promising candidates for electrocatalysis, especially for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, nickel nanoparticles (from Ni(COD)2) were supported on CTF-1 materials, which were synthesized from 1,4-dicyanobenzene at 400 °C and 600 °C by the ionothermal method. CTF-1-600 and Ni/CTF-1-600 show high catalytic activity towards OER and a clear activity for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Ni/CTF-1-600 requires 374 mV overpotential in OER to reach 10 mA/cm2, which outperforms the benchmark RuO2 catalyst, which requires 403 mV under the same conditions. Ni/CTF-1-600 displays an OER catalytic activity comparable with many nickel-based electrocatalysts and is a potential candidate for OER. The same Ni/CTF-1-600 material shows a half-wave potential of 0.775 V for ORR, which is slightly lower than that of commercial Pt/C (0.890 V). Additionally, after accelerated durability tests of 2000 cycles, the material showed only a slight decrease in activity towards both OER and ORR, demonstrating its superior stability.

Pd-catalyzed asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura couplings of 3-methyl-2-bromophenylamides, 3-methyl-2-bromo-1-nitrobenzene and 1-naphthaleneboronic acids have been successfully developed and the corresponding axially chiral biaryl compounds were obtained in very high yields (up to 99%) with good enantioselectivities (up to 88% ee) under mild conditions. The chiral-bridged biphenyl monophosphine ligands developed by our group exhibit significant superiority to the naphthyl counterpart MOP in both reactivity and enantioselectivity control. The large steric hindrance from π-conjugated ortho-substituents of the bromobenzene substrates and the Pd···O interaction between carbonyl and palladium seem essential to achieve high enantioselectivity.

Drinking water is of vital importance
for all living things and regular monitoring of water quality is of great
importance for public health.In this study, we aimed to examine some
microbiological characteristics and to be evaluated in terms of the health of
drinking water and wells used in Çorum. In Çorum province, once a month from ten
sources-wells and water tanks used for consumption and five days a week from
the central stopcock water relating to 40 locations; samples were taken in
observance with the hygiene precept to 250 ml private bacteriological sterile
drinking water cruet with 10% sodium thiosulfate solution. In winter, spring
and summer seasons, total 1234 samples taken from sources-well, water tanks and
central city tap water between January and July were used.

A
total of 66 samples taken from resources and wells used for consumption in
Çorum proved to have seasonal changes, and some increment and diminish in
bacteria rate are defined. According to the “Regulation on Waters for Human
Consumption”; Chloride value: 0.2-0.5 mg/L (photometric method) was detected in
the value range, and at the end daily control and checking, 1168 samples were
gathered from the water samples among January and July in Çorum province. As a
result of the information determined, there is no negative and contradictory
data.
