Profiles and Perspectives: Web 2.0 in the Elementary Classroom: Portraits of Possibilities
Authors: Kist William , Doyle Kelly , Hayes Jody , Horwitz Jeff , Kuzior J. T.
Published: March 2024

The general public has a conception of young children as being much more “computer savvy” than older generations.  Scholars have looked at how young children interact with new media and have posited that learning to read needs to be broader than just learning to decode. Recently there have been reports of teachers using a range of media, all in an effort to see how these new media can be and are a part of young children’s lives.  In this article, teachers describe the power that social networking and other new media have in their classrooms in relation to children’s literacy practices.   The authors conclude that is it naÃ¯ve, at best, to think that new media should be kept out of the classroom or that Web 2.0 is somehow irrelevant to the teaching of reading.
Focus on Policy: A Is for avatar: Young Children in Literacy 2.0 Worlds and Literacy 1.0 Schools
Authors: Wohlwend Karen E.
Published: March 2024

This article draws upon the cinematic, fictional portrayal of Avatars as a metaphor to show how young children are positioned in similar ways in relation to technology and nature. The authors discuss children as digital natives growing up in brave new virtual worlds, but also as vulnerable innocents who are specially attuned to and in need of nature. They wonder: Shouldn’t children be engaged in hands-on explorations rather than glued to computer screens? Do we understand them as emergent users of new literacies and new technologies? If so, how might early literacy education change to prepare children to read, write, be, and act as full participants in digital worlds and unknowable futures?
A Children’s Choice Program: Insights into Book Selection, Social Relationships, and Reader Identity
Authors: Bang–Jensen Valerie
Published: March 2024

This article considers three emergent themes from informal discussions with fourth and fifth graders about their book selections from the Vermont Childrenߣs Choice program. Twelve students were interviewed about how they selected books from the list.’ Student responses showed that they held the DCF nominee list in high regard, that they relied heavily on peers for suggestions within the list, and that the broad range of books on the list allowed them to consider their own preferences for titles, authors, and subjects in book selection. The conversations highlighted the importance of student choice in book selection and its possible subsequent impact on the language readers use to describe their reading and themselves as readers; several students compared their experiences choosing from the DCF list with choosing from leveled texts. State and library children’s choice programs offer nominee lists for readers created with different, and often richer, criteria than a narrower focus on readability levels and text characteristics allows.’ When readers have their say in selecting books, they exercise agency in the development of their own reader identities and create rich relationships with books.
Research Directions ’ Asking the Experts: What Children Have to Say about Their Reading Preferences
Authors: Davila Denise , Patrick Lisa
Published: March 2024

Ironically, adults control most of the world of children’s literature: adults write the books; adults choose which books to publish; adults review the books, adults bestow the awards on books and adults purchase the books for bookstores, libraries, and their children. In this paradigm of adult control, children’s opinions are often overlooked.’ The goal of this paper is to review the current literature on reader preferences, with the intent of understanding the intersection of the children, adults, and publishing constituencies. We hope this article will support teachers in engaging students with reading materials that will match their interests.
ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНО-ПРАВОВІ ЗАСАДИ СЛУЖБОВО-БОЙОВОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ГВАРДІЇ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Троцький Руслан , Коба Олександр , Курило Олег
Published: March 2024

У статті досліджується питання організаційно-правових засад службово-бойової діяльності Національної гвардії України, що, своєю чергою, впливає на виконання нею основних завдань відповідно до законодавства України та в умовах широкомасштабної збройної агресії рф. Акцентовано увагу на важливості такого напряму як організаційно-правовий. Наголошено, що без належного законодавчого (правового) гарантування будь-якої діяльності Національної гвардії України, як органу правопорядку та суб’єкта сектору безпеки і оборони України, здійснення нею своїх повноважень якісно та на високому професійному рівні є неможливим. Підтримується думка вчених про те, що службово-бойова діяльність є найширшою в розумінні функціонування Національної гвардії України. Адже до неї належать не лише фрагментарні завдання, а й увесь спектр функцій і повноважень Національної гвардії України, що охоплює як конвойні функції, так і охоронні повноваження, а також окремі засади забезпечення громадської безпеки та порядку. У статті аргументується, що організаційно-правовими засадами службово-бойової діяльності Національної гвардії України є ті норми і приписи національного законодавства (Конституції України, законів, підзаконних нормативно-правових і організаційно-розпорядчих актів), що не лише регулюють здійснення службово бойової діяльності Національної гвардії України, а й забезпечують таку діяльність у контексті організації службової діяльності та налагодження внутрішньої взаємодії між підрозділами. Перспективи подальшого дослідження полягають у необхідності глибшого опрацювання питання внутрішньої структури Національної гвардії України як суб’єкта сектору безпеки і оборони України, що забезпечує права і свободи людини і громадянина в декілька можливих (передбачених прямо законодавством України) способів для розроблення відповідних теоретично та практично обґрунтованих пропозицій і зауважень до вказаних нормативно-правових актів.

Authors: Iroriteraye-Adjekpovu Janice Imizuokena , Nwabuaku Louis
Published: March 2024

The study aimed at examining the effectiveness of traditional and computer-assisted instruction methods in determining students’ achievement on graph plotting in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was employed and 140 students randomly chosen from the senior secondary schools in the LGA made up the study sample. The chosen students were split into two groups of 70 students each using stratified sampling. The first group served as the experimental group while the second group the control group, were taught graph plotting using computer-assisted instruction and traditional instruction methods respectively. The study took five weeks, and a null and alternative hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. The Teacher Made Test (TMT) on graph plotting was developed as the instrument of the study to assess students’ achievement on graph plotting within the two groups. A reliability of 0.8 was yielded for the instrument using Richard Kuderson-21. The data obtained from the instrument was treated with t-test of independence at p ≤0.05 level of significance, and the results showed that students who received computer-assisted instruction had significantly higher improvement in their mean test scores. The study thus fills a research gap that informs the improvement of the method employed in teaching graph plotting, thereby enhancing students’ performance in secondary school science education. The research recommends the incorporation of computer-assisted instructions in the pedagogy of graph plotting in the science education of secondary school students across Delta State, Nigeria.

Literature review: User interface of system functional electrical stimulation (FES) and arm robotic rehabilitation
Authors: Abryandoko Eko , Susmartini Susy , Widyo Laksono , Herdiman Lobes
Published: March 2024

Interface technology development for human-robot interaction (HRI) in rehabilitation systems has increased in recent years. HRI can effectively achieve specific motor goals desired in rehabilitation, such as combining human intentions and actions with robotic devices to perform the desired stroke rehabilitation movements. Rehabilitation devices are starting to be directed towards using devices that integrate functional electrical stimulation (FES) with robotic arms because they have succeeded in providing promising interventions to restore arm function by intensively activating the muscles of post-stroke patients. However, FES requires a high level of accuracy to position the limbs for the functional tasks given because excessive electrical stimulation can cause fatigue in the patient, so it is necessary to provide electrical stimulation with an amplitude that suits the patient's needs. Unfortunately, most studies have a constant voltage amplitude and do not consider the voltage that matches the patient's muscle needs; this treatment can cause fatigue in the patient. Robotic devices as rehabilitation aids have the potential to support external power and adapt electrical stimulation needs to the voltage amplitude applied to the FES. Integrating FES with a robotic arm support system into one hybrid neuroprosthesis is attractive because the mechanical device can complement muscle action and increase rehabilitation's repeatability and accuracy rate. The integration of FES and robotic arms is a promising approach in the future. This article reviews the state of the art regarding motor rehabilitation using functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices and robotic arms for the upper limbs of post-stroke patients. A narrative review was done through a literature search using the IEEE-Xplore, Scopus, and PubMed databases. Nine different rehabilitation system articles were identified. The selected systems were compared critically by considering the design and actuators, components, technological aspects, and technological challenges that could be developed in the future. This article also examines the development of HRI and emerging research trends in HRI-based rehabilitation

Optimal adjusting of simulated annealing parameters
Authors: Hemmak Allaoua
Published: March 2024

Introduction/purpose: Simulated annealing is a powerful technique widely used in optimization problems. One critical aspect of using simulated annealing effectively is a proper and optimal adjustment of its parameters. This paper presents a novel approach to efficiently adjust the parameters of simulated annealing to enhance its performance and convergence speed. Methods: Since the simulated algorithm is inspired by the cooling Metropolis process, the basic idea is to simulate and analyze this process using a mathematical model. The proposed work tends to properly imitate the Metropolis cooling process in the algorithmic field. By intelligently adjusting the temperature schedule, temperature reduction and cooling rate, the algorithm optimizes the balance between exploration and exploitation, leading to improved convergence and higher-quality solutions. Results: To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, it was applied first on a chosen sample function to be minimized, and then on some usual known optimization functions. The results demonstrate that our approach, called Optimal Adjusting of Simulated Annealing parameters (OASA), achieves superior performance compared to traditional static parameter settings and other existing approaches, showing how to well adjust the parameters of the simulated annealing algorithm to improve its efficiency in terms of solution quality and processing time. Conclusion: Adjusting the algorithm parameters could have a significant contribution in the optimization field even for other metaheuristics.

Bending examination of advanced generation of composite structures with specific properties exposed to different loads
Authors: Zitouni Ahmed , Bouderba Bachir , Dellal Abdelkader , Berrabah Hamza
Published: March 2024

Introduction/purpose: This article presents the bending examination of advanced-generation composite structures with specific properties exposed to different loads. Methods: This paper thus proposes and introduces a new generalized five-variable shear strain theory for calculating the static response of functionally graded rectangular plates made of ceramic and metal. Notably, our theory eliminates the need for a shear correction factor and ensures zero-shear stress conditions on both the upper and lower surfaces. Numerical investigations are introduced to interpret the influences of loading conditions and variations of power of functionally graded material, modulus ratio, aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the bending behavior of FGPs. These analyzes are then compared to the results available in the literature. Results: Preliminary results include a comparative analysis with standard higher-order shear deformation theories (PSDPT, ESDPT, SSDPT), as well as Mindlin and Kirchhoff theories (FSDPT and CPT). Conclusion: Our theory contributes alongside established theories in the field, providing valuable insights into the static thermomechanical response of functionally graded rectangular plates. This encompasses the influence of volume fraction exponent values on non-dimensional displacements and stresses, the impact of aspect ratios on deflection, and the effects of the thermal field on deflection and stresses. Numerical examples of the bending examination of advanced-generation composite structures with specific properties exposed to different loads demonstrate the accuracy of the present theory.

How Europe Dodges the International Arms Control Regime
Authors: Cornelisse Galina
Published: March 2024

F-35 fighter jets are the world's most sophisticated weapon. This post argues that the legal basis for Dutch exports in the F-35 programme shows a worrying disregard for international law regulating arms exports. Dutch legislation does not require the government to carry out a detailed and prior assessment of the export of F-35 components. This is a clear breach of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). What’s more, the Netherlands is not the only European state that blatantly ignores its procedural obligations under the ATT, but countries such as Denmark and the UK have adopted a similar approach. Hence, one wonders whether dodging the ATT regime by European states in the F-35 programme is part and parcel of the negotiation package on commercial contracts with the US
A machine learning approach to detect renal calculi by studying the physical characteristics of urine
Authors: Mandal Semontii , Roy Sudeshna
Published: March 2024

Renal calculi (also called kidney stones) are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. A kidney stone is usually asymptomatic until it moves around within the kidney or passes into one of the ureters, after which one may experience a sharp pain similar to a muscle strain. The current methods of detecting kidney stones (like CT imaging) cannot be employed until the onset of the first symptoms. Our approach provides a solution to detect kidney stones before the appearance of any symptoms. Using existing data on the physical characteristics of urine, we trained a machine learning model using various classifiers – logistic regression, decision tree and Support Vector Machine – to detect kidney stones and calculate their accuracies. Using one-way ANOVA test to compare the accuracies yielded by each approach of these classifiers, we found that there was no statistically significant difference between using one classifier over another. We plotted a confusion matrix and calculated the F1 scores for each classifier, in order to evaluate the performance of the algorithms. All the classifiers reported an accuracy of >0.80 and an F1 score of >0.85. Thus, our findings suggest that it is possible to detect kidney stones before the onset of symptoms by analyzing the physical characteristics of urine using machine learning classifiers.

Published: March 2024

Market gardens in Niger are a crucial tool for securing agropastoral systems and rural livelihoods amid interwoven challenges such as climate change, conflicts and insecurity, demographic pressure and poverty. A study of 60 small garden farmers found that market gardens significantly enhance farmers’ income and household food security. The average annual income from market gardens is 126.51 USD, accounting for 70% of total income. However, challenges like water scarcity, land insecurity, and limited access to credit and markets hinder their full socio-economic role. The farmers try to overcome those obstacles through cooperation, sending remittance from part-time off-farm activities, and mobilisation of resources based on their social capital. Those who could not overcome the challenges left the village for a ‘safer’ location. The study emphasises the need for community collective action, rural-urban networking, and external support to improve market gardens for rural poverty reduction and food security improvement.

Lwah Solas merupakan sebuah Karya Tabuh Kreasi yang terinspirasi dari 11 (sebelas) mata air atau sungai yang bertemu menjadi satu, yang memberikan sumber kehidupan bagi mahkluk hidup, namun di sisi lain juga membawa petaka dan menghancurkan segalanya. Penata mencoba mengolah ide tersebut ke dalam sebuah garapan karawitan yang masih berpijak pada konsep tradisi, dimana dalam penataanya, mengedepankan teknik-teknik dalam permainan gamelan Gong Kebyar seperti: Kekotekan, Norot, nyogcag dan pada beberapa bagiannya menggunakan sebelas ketukan. Teknik-teknik tersebut diolah sedemikian rupa dan tetap mengakar kuat pada esensi-esensi tradisi yang telah menjadi dasar landasan dalam berkomposisi. Tetekep, gegebug dan ekspresi menjadi sebuah acuan pokok di dalamnya sehingga menjadi satu kesatuan yang utuh dan konsep penataan musical dalam kerawitan Bali. Tabuh Kreasi Lwah Solas sangat penting untuk diciptakan karena mengingat banyaknya pencemaran mata air oleh manusia yang sangat banyak terjadi saat ini. Dari sinilah penata menciptakan tabuh kreasi Lwah Solas dengan tujuan mengingatkan masyarakat untuk menjaga, menghormati dan mensucikan mata air yang ada, karena mata air merupakan unsur utama bagi kelangsungan hidup manusia.

Authors: Rodríguez Alvarado Raúl Alberto , Medina Romero Miguel Ángel
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar diversas experiencias internacionales en la transición hacia la agroecología, resultado de la creación de políticas públicas que promueven la transición agroecológica, considerando factores sociales, ecológicos, económicos, políticos y culturales. El estudio se enfoca en cómo se han desarrollado estas transiciones en distintos países, cada uno con sus particularidades geográficas, políticas y económicas, y cómo las iniciativas de políticas públicas a menudo surgen de la cooperación entre personas con el fin de impulsar una producción más sostenible y preservar los recursos naturales para las generaciones futuras. La metodología implementada en la investigación es de tipo exploratorio/descriptivo y se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo. El carácter exploratorio se debe a que busca identificar experiencias de políticas públicas para la transición agroecológica que son relativamente nuevas y poco conocidas. La fase descriptiva del estudio se centra en la recopilación y el análisis de las características de las transiciones agroecológicas de cada país que ha registrado la experiencia. Y el método deductivo se empleó a partir del desarrollo de las transiciones agroecológicas, identificando los elementos claves que se implementaron en los procesos de co-creación e instauración de acciones, leyes y políticas públicas de transición agroecológica. Las experiencias internacionales de leyes y políticas públicas para la transición agroecológica, que han contribuido al desarrollo sostenible en diferentes países, resultan relevantes para entender cómo se puede promover la agroecología a través de la legislación y la acción gubernamental, y cómo estas políticas pueden influir en la sostenibilidad ambiental, la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, y la salud pública.

En la actualidad, la diabetes representa un importante desafío para la salud pública debido a su alta incidencia y elevada tasa de mortalidad. Se trata de una enfermedad crónica que ocurre cuando el páncreas no produce suficiente insulina o cuando el cuerpo no la utiliza de manera efectiva. Según la clasificación establecida en 2023 por la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (ADA, por sus siglas en inglés), existen cuatro categorías de diabetes: la diabetes tipo 1, caracterizada por una deficiencia en la producción de insulina; la Diabetes Tipo 2 (DT2), que se desarrolla debido a la incapacidad del organismo para utilizar la insulina de manera adecuada; la diabetes gestacional, que se diagnostica cuando se presenta hiperglucemia durante el segundo o tercer trimestre del embarazo; y la diabetes causada por otras razones. Dentro de esta clasificación, la DT2 presenta la mayor prevalencia a nivel mundial, abarcando aproximadamente entre el 90 % y el 95 % de los casos (ADA, 2021; Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS], 2016).
