Improving the Methods for Protecting Information from Unauthorized Access
Authors: Rodionov Aleksandr , Belyanin Vladislav , Gorbunov Aleksandr
Published: March 2019

The research relevance is conditioned by the constantly growing technical capabilities for unauthorized access to protected information in the local area networks (LAN), the development of methods of attacks, and therefore, the need to improve methods of information protection. The paper describes the peculiarities of using the system of collecting and correlating information security events SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), which detects and notifies about the emergence of threats to leakage of protected information. In the modern world, due to the ever-growing technical capabilities of attackers for unauthorized access to LAN, improving the ways of carrying out attacks on them, there is a need to improve the existing methods of information protection and to develop new ones. In addition to the technical component, an important risk factor is the human factor, due to which up to 52 % of information leaks (intentional and unintended) occur around the world. They are distributed by categories of information: 62.3 % – personal data, 31.0 % – payment documents, 3.9 % – state secrets, 2.8 % – trade secrets.

Published: March 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The surgical discharge summary allows the perioperative care team to summarize a recent hospitalization and relay important information to a variety of invested parties including other healthcare providers, outpatient caregivers, and the surgical patient. The inpatient care team can promote a smooth transition of care and empower outpatient providers and the patient to foster a confident progression through recovery. We describe twelve tips for a streamlined, successful discharge summary geared towards the surgical intern. A successful surgical discharge summary begins with patient and caregiver collaboration, communication and teamwork, and culminates with concise documentation. These tips reflect a review of the current literature and rely on the clinical expertise of an interdisciplinary surgical team. Our aim is to empower surgical educators and trainees to understand the complexity of discharge planning, and to improve the efficiency with which it can be completed and the quality of the discharge process at their training hospitals.

Mining-induced ground movements and displacements using transparent soil model test
Authors: Zhang Minxia , Xu Ping , Li Jinwei , Wang Ruiqi
Published: March 2019

Surface subsidence induced by mining subsidence affects the overlying buildings and nearby utilities. Therefore, an investigation of the internal displacement and surface settlement is very important. A small-scale transparent soil model was developed to study the surface settlement profile and displacement field induced by mining subsidence. An analysis of the continuous change of the displacement field inside the transparent soil models indicates that the subsurface settlement at different subsidence stages can be approximated by a normal probability curve. Additionally, the observed surface settlements are consistent with settlement predictions of both the probability integral method and the Gaussian distribution method. The results indicate that it is a good way to study further the underground structure–soil interaction.

Upregulated expression of MNX1-AS1 long noncoding RNA predicts poor prognosis in gastric cancer
Authors: Zhang Wei , Huang Lunhua , Lu Xinyang , Wang Kecheng , Ning Xiaofei , Liu Zhiqiang
Published: March 2019

As important regulators of gene expression long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. An oncogenic role of MNX1 antisense RNA 1 (MNX1-AS1) lncRNA has been suggested in cervical cancer and glioblastoma. In this study, we investigated the clinicopathological significance and biological function of MNX1-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC). The expression of MNX1-AS1 was analyzed by qRT-PCR in 96 GC and adjacent non-tumor tissues in relation to clinicopathological features and overall survival (OS) of patients, and in five human GC cell lines compared to a normal gastric epithelial cell line. Loss-of-function experiments using small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting MNX1-AS1 (si-MNX1-AS1) were carried out in AGS and MGC-803 GC cell lines. Cell proliferation (CCK-8 assay), migration (Transwell) and invasion (Transwell Matrigel), and protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) were analyzed in transfected GC cells. Expression of MNX1-AS1 was significantly higher in GC vs. adjacent non-tumor tissues. Higher MNX1-AS1 expression was significantly associated with tumor size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that GC patients with higher MNX1-AS1 expression had worse OS compared to patients with lower MNX1-AS1 expression. Multivariate analysis showed that MNX1-AS1 is an independent poor prognostic factor in GC. Knockdown of MNX1-AS1 significantly inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of AGS and MGC-803 cells, and resulted in increased E-cadherin and decreased PCNA, N-cadherin, vimentin and MMP-9 expression. Taken together, these results suggest that MNX1-AS1 has an oncogenic function in GC and potential as a molecular target in GC therapy.
Improvements in episodic future thinking methodology: Establishing a standardized episodic thinking control v1
Authors: Hollis-Hansen Kelseanna , E. O’Donnell Sara , S. Seidman Jennifer , J. Brande Spencer , H. Epstein Leonard
Published: March 2019

Objective: Delay discounting (DD) is the choice of a smaller immediate reward over a larger delayed reward, which has been associated with a number of maladaptive behaviors. Episodic future thinking (EFT), the ability to project oneself into the future, is an intervention designed to reduce DD. EFT has reliable effects on DD, but the size of the effect varies, which could be due in part to the use of different control groups. Episodic recent thinking (ERT) serves as a common control for many EFT studies, but the temporal window of “recent” cues ranges from 24 hours ago to 12 days past. Since prior research has shown that retrospection can lead to prospection, it may be important to ensure that EFT controls do not inadvertently lead to prospection for some participants thereby increasing the variability of the control condition. The present study sought to develop a comparison group that standardizes the time frame and experiences that are the basis for the recent thinking control. Methods: Participants (n=53, 18-45) were randomized to one of three conditions: EFT, ERT, or standardized episodic thinking (SET). Participants attended a laboratory appointment where they played mobile application games, created cues, and completed a DD task. Results: There was a significant difference between groups (p<0.05), with EFT reducing discounting more than either control (p<0.05), and no differences between ERT and SET (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study established that SET provides an alternative control in EFT studies and provides the advantage of standardizing the participant’s recent experience without changing the relationship between EFT and recent thinking controls.
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A PREDICTOR TOWARDS JOB SATISFACTION AMONG FORM SIX TEACHERS IN SARAWAK
Authors: Loo Siaw-Choon , Leh Ling Ying
Published: March 2019

This quantitative study was conducted to identify the influence of transformational leadership as a predictor of job satisfaction among Form Six teachers. A total of 148 Form Six teachers from Kuching, Sarawak through a random sampling technique were identified as respondents of the study. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to the respondents. The questionnaire used was adapted from the previous researchers’ questionnaires. The findings show that the dimensions of individual consideration, charisma, and motivation in transformational leadership have a significant effect on job satisfaction among the teachers. Based on the findings obtained, the two-ways relations between the middle leaders and teachers need to be improved by adopting an open approach and working to understand the work-related problems.
IMPROVING GEOGRAPHY PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ UNDERSTANDING OF SATELLITE IMAGERY ANALYSIS USING ER MAPPER SOFTWARE WITH A MODULE
Authors: Sugandi Dede , Somantri Lili
Published: March 2019

The development of student potential is influenced by how the teacher prepares the steps of the learning process. This means that teacher’s preparation and planning for the learning process determines the achievement of learning objectives. There is an indication that students have low mastery in the skills of imagery analysis on the topic of remote sensing. This research aims to find ways to assist students in the learning process of remote sensing and find about the appropriateness of the form of learning process to the learning materials as well as the allocated time and the steps in the learning process. More specifically, it aims to assist students in gaining understanding and ability of image data analysis using Er Mapper software. The population consisted of 195 students, while the sample taught to improve their understanding of the steps taken in imagery analysis only included 90 students. The students were divided into two groups, the control class and the experimental class, with 45 students respectively. In assessing students' understanding, this research was aided by four testers who assessed and determined the time taken for students to complete each stage of imagery analysis, with the criteria of: 1) 0-1 (very fast), 2)> 1-2 (fast), 3)> 2-3 (slow), and 4)> 3-4 (very slow). The scores of the imagery analysis of the control class and experimental class students were 3.30 (very good) and 3.38 (very good), respectively, with a difference of 0.08. The difference in the understanding and ability was more strongly indicated by the speed or time taken to complete the analysis stages for each meeting. The control class’ average speed was 3.51 (very slow), while the experimental class was 1.44 (fast). To accelerate the learning process of image analysis, the lab work should be assisted with guidebooks or modules in each meeting. With the module, students can learn independently.
THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND TEACHERS’ GUIDANCE TOWARDS STUDENTS’ ADVERSITY QUOTIENT
Authors: Listiawati Nur , Sebayang Susy K
Published: March 2019

This paper aims to report results of research on the association between sociodemographic indicators and teachers’ efforts to help students cope with problems and help build students’ Adversity Quotient. A questionnaire in the form of self-report inventory was distributed to 102 fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students of A- and C-accredited primary schools in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Multiple regression and inductive reasoning were used for analysis. FGDs with teachers were conducted in order to explore teachers’ efforts in helping improve students’ adversity quotient. Research results showed that students who were middle child had significantly lower AQ compared to those of first-born or earlier-born child, while sixth-graders had significantly higher AQ scores compared to fourth graders, and children whose fathers were skilled workers had greater odds of having high AQ. Teachers had already done some LEAD sequence, but had not guided students to explore and analyze the problem by themselves. The results have some implications for the education policy to integrate religious teachings into the curriculum that can facilitate the improvement of students’ Adversity Quotient.

The world community support in the becoming of sovereignty of Ukraine on Donbas: forms, expenses and opportunities
Authors: Lakishyk Dmytro
Published: March 2019

The article examines the forms of support for the international community of Ukraine in restoring its sovereignty in Donbas. The current achievements and further perspectives in the settlement of the conflict in eastern Ukraine have been analyzed. It is noted that Russian aggression on the territory of Ukraine has shaken the foundations of the European security system and has shown outdated approaches and ineffective mechanisms of functioning of international security structures.

It is alleged that at the initial stages of the conflict in the east of the Ukrainian state, the world community has demonstrated its solidarity with Ukraine. A number of countries have formed an informal association in support of the independence and territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state (over 30 countries have entered; international organizations are Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc.; military-political unions – NATO, EU, PACE, OSCE, etc.; financial and economic institutions – IMF, EBRD, World Bank, etc.).

It is noted that the introduction of UN peacekeepers in order to stabilize the situation in the east of Ukraine is currently at the stage of the project and is directly related to the urgency of reforming the imperfect system of functioning of the international organization. Instead, active non-military international support (political, economic, humanitarian, etc.) of Ukraine by the international community is now quite effective and efficient.
Romania’s genesis as a NATO member state
Authors: Mingazutdinova Galyna
Published: March 2019

The article touches upon Romania’s path towards obtaining its NATO membership, as well as the prerequisites of shaping of its international image in the sphere of security. The external reasons of activating Romania’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have been analyzed, and the fundamental geopolitical factors of Romania’s importance and contribution to the Transatlantic and regional security have been outlined. The article also reveals the basic stages of rapprochement between Bucharest and NATO in 1990 – 2004. Special attention has been paid to the process of the Romanian military sector reforming in early 1990s, which constituted an essential element of the country’s gaining membership in the Alliance. Some comparisons of the Romanian and Ukrainian paths towards obtaining NATO membership and introducing their Euro-Atlantic integration have been made. It is concluded that en route towards NATO, not only did Romania succeed in holding some essential reforms of the social and political sectors to fulfill its Euro-Atlantic aspirations, but it also has found itself in a particularly profitable situation of the international security situation’s transformation. What is more, Romania did prove itself as an important strategic partner with its geopolitical and geographical position in the Black Sea basin and in the Balkans. Today, these factors continue contributing to Romania’s importance for NATO’s practical activities aimed to provide peace and security to the Black Sea region.
Formation of the Irish neutrality concept in the 1930s
Authors: Nahnybida Olha
Published: March 2019

The article describes the specific aspects of the appearance, formation and evolution of the Irish neutrality as a foreign policy principle in the 1930s. The historical and geopolitical background of the formation of neutrality policy in the context of the struggle for independence and sovereignty of Ireland has been investigated. The role of Prime Minister Éamon de Valera as an ‘architect’ of neutrality policy of the Irish Free State and its foreign policy concept has been explored. It is emphasized that, unlike other neutral states, where the neutral status is legally secured, the neutrality of Ireland is of a traditional nature, since there are no clear legislative instructions according to which Ireland shall be obliged to adhere to the principle of neutrality in its foreign policy. The overcoming of the last obstacles to the proclamation of the neutral status of Ireland has been outlined, i.a. the elimination of the British naval presence in the Irish ports in 1938 and adoption of the Irish Constitution in 1937, which officially defined the annexation of Ulster. Finally, the influence of forthcoming WW2 has been explored. In the years of war, Ireland hoped to keep abstained not by adherence to some theoretical or abstract idea of neutrality, but by addressing to the practical question that the Irish government didn’t want to get involved in this conflict. They merely wanted to keep their people safe away from such consequences as they might appear when Ireland was directly involved in the war.
Italian military-humanitarian operation “Mare Nostrum” (2013-2014)
Authors: Savaryn Vira
Published: March 2019

The article touches upon the policy of Italy in regulating the situation in the Mediterranean Sea area, in particular, the military-humanitarian operation “Mare Nostrum” (“Our Sea”) has considered in details. The preconditions of the crisis situation near the banks of Lampedusa Island in the context of the Italian-Libyan relations have been investigated.

Special attention is paid to the course of the operation, the reaction of the Italian society, the European public and political circles. The number of people saved during the operation and the involved forces has been given. The role of the European institutions in the rescue activities has been shown. The discussions in political circles concerning the necessity of such operations have been analyzed. The reasons of radicalization of the Italian society at this stage have been revealed.

It is argued that the strategy chosen by the Italian government to resolve the crisis has not been economically profitable for the country’s budget. What is more, the operation not only did save thousands of refugees, but also opened the way for a large number of economic immigrants and smugglers to the country. It is proved that joint European projects were more economically successful and facilitated the realization of the protection of the EU’s border. However, they do cause an increase in contradictions within the framework of a common foreign policy among the EU member states.

Published: March 2019

The results of the reviewing the geostrategic aspect of foreign policy activity of the Russian Federation have been presented. The analysis of the level of disclosure given by the author of the methodological principles of Russian geostrategy, its planning and key vectors of implementation, has been provided. The estimated level of presentation of the content of the regional vector of Russian geostrategy comes as follows: its priority is to provide geopolitical influence in the post-Soviet space through its reintegration, as well as through the creation of controlled conflicts. The monograph has separately analyzed the degree of disclosure of the essence of the global dimension of geostrategy of the Russian Federation in the context of the West, Middle East, Asia-Pacific, African, Latin American and Arctic foreign policy directions of Russia. Thus, through a number of such directions, Russia attempts to implement its influence on the international security and the emergence of a new world order.
Variantion in Ukrainian art terminology
Authors: Ovseichyk Stanislava
Published: March 2019

The article deals with the variant terms in normative aspect codified in Ukrainian art lexicography of the 21st century. Dictionary codification of variant terms indicates changing in the language and deliberate influence of the society on the development of terminological norm. Variation is a existence form of objects of the surrounding reality, in particular, of scientific concepts, which defines the laws of their function and interaction. The choice of sources is due to the fact that the selected dictionaries are represented modern art knowledge. Dictionaries play a significant role in the normalization of language, the spread of linguistic norms, and therefore they are a grateful and relevant material for the analysis of variation in the Ukrainian art terminology. The article focuses on the importance of the scientific philological study of art terminology – the field of knowledge, which is rapidly developing in modern conditions, acquiring new meanings and forms. The variant terms of the art terminology, codified in Ukrainian special vocabulary, are analyzed. Three types of variant terms, phonemic, derivational and morphological-phonemic units, are fixed in the Ukrainian art terminology. It was found out that among the reasons for the occurrence of phonemic variant terms of the analyzed terminology tends to facilitate articulation of the learned term; the appearance of derivation of variant terms is conditioned by the presence of various derivative models in the Ukrainian language and the search for forms of terms that correspond most closely to modern productive models of term derivation; functioning of morphological-phonemic variant terms is explained by different degrees of grammatical adaptation of foreign-language art terms. It also traces the effect of an analogy inherent to all three of the varieties mentioned. In general, the article discusses the essence of the problem of terminological variation as one of the most relevant processes in the regulation and standardization of the Ukrainian art terminology.
Ideas and scientific concepts in the personalities of the Ukrainian and Polish language frontier: Professor Mikhailo Lesiv
Authors: Shevchenko Larysa
Published: March 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of the perspective of the idea and scientific concept of the Ukrainian and Polish language frontier, which is considered by the author as an intellectual cultural and geographical area that generates the diffusion of languages, cultures, and lifestyles. Sociocultural relations, which are formed historically, are expressed in different forms of culture. Language reflects the influences of other languages, enriching them with new linguistic units, influencing various levels of expression of specific forms of words. In the article, the problem of the Ukrainian and Polish language frontier is considered with a projection on the range of scientific interests of the Polish professor, Mykhailo Lesiv. The researcher consistently worked out the scientific concept of the positive influence on the development of the languages of the Ukrainian-Polish borderlands, considering the concrete impacts of grammar, phonetics, onomastics, and the development of the stylistic potential of the Polish and Ukrainian languages. The idea of Mikhail Lesiv about the influence not only of the Polish language on Ukrainian but also of the Ukrainian language in Polish in the cultural-linguistic boundary is important for understanding the perspective of the concept. The author of the article states that this view is promising because it allows us to speak about the mutual enrichment of languages, cultural entropy of peoples, united by good neighborliness. Conceptual ideas of Mykhailo Lesiv are argued by numerous publications (over 1,000 publications), in which the factual characteristics of the language frontier are investigated. The historical development of the Ukrainian language from the point of view of M. Lesiv is considered. Different forms and different languages, its functional potential in written culture and dialectal environment are analyzed. It is noted, in particular, on the onomastic intelligence of Mikhail Lesiv, the possibilities of their deployment in modern studies on the development of literary languages. The cultural heritage of Mykhailo Lesiv detailed, substantiates the actual material of the concept of the cultural space of the Ukrainian-Polish language frontier, building the prospect of linguistic contacts and good-neighborliness of the two Slavic nations.

Short-term and Midterm Treatment Results in Stanford Type-B Acute Dissection Patients
Authors: DEMİR Deniz , KAHRAMAN Nail
Published: March 2019

Aim: Stanford Type B acute aortic dissection (Type B-AAD) has a higher mortality among the cardiovascular diseases and the complexity of its treatment is an important challenge. The duration of dissection, whether it is complicated or uncomplicated play a determinant role in the treatment of the disease. In this study, we evaluated the results of the patients that we followed and we treated due to the Type B acute aortic dissection.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a single center and retrospectively. The treatment strategy of the patients was determined with respect to be acute or chronic and to be complicated or uncomplicated. The patients were treated via medical treatment, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) or open surgery and then they were followed. The mortality and the morbidity causes of the patients were recorded.Result:Totally, 23 patients were treated due to Type B acute aortic dissection. The mean age of the patients was 58.21±14.17. The majority of the followed patients (16 patients (69.5%)) were followed with medical treatment. The patients who were followed with TEVAR treatment were in the second rank. The number of the TEVAR patients was 5 (21.7%). Two patients were treated with open surgery. 30-day survival was observed in 20 (86.9%) patients. The total mortality was seen in 3 (13%) patients.Conclusion: The twenty five percent of the patients who refer due to Type B acute aortic dissection admit due to malperfusion syndrome or hemodynamic instability. Organ malperfusion and hemodynamic instability are the most important causes of deaths of these patients. Hence, the early diagnosis of the patient and its optimal treatment is life-saving. If the patients who are treated due to the Type B acute aortic dissection are in uncomplicated type, medical treatment is in the forefront. In complicated patients, TEVAR or open surgery are recommended. In our Type B acute aortic dissection group which consists of 23 patients, the total mortality ratio was seen in 3 (13%) patients. The ratios for renal failure and for plegia were found as 4.3%. In thoracic endovascular aortic repair, no mortality was found.In conclusion, we primarily recommend conventional medical treatment for the patients in uncomplicated type in the treatment of the Type B acute aortic dissection patients. In the patients in complicated type we recommend TEVAR treatment. Since the necessary equipment for the TEVAR could not be ensured, we recommend open surgery for the emergency cases.

La estadística de salud en el municipio de Palmira- Valle, muestra que el infarto agudo de miocardio y la hipertensión arterial esencial (primaria) fueron la segunda y tercera causa de mortalidad entre los años 2006 y 2013, respectivamente. En Colombia, se han realizado estudios sobre los conocimientos en hipertensión arrojando como resultados un nivel de conocimientos bajo. El propósito de la investigación era determinar los conocimientos sobre la enfermedad y comportamientos saludables de personas diagnosticadas con hipertensión en una Empresa Social del Estado nivel I del municipio de Palmira-Valle en el 2016. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, no experimental, cuantitativo, corte transverso, con muestreo por conglomerados a 150 personas que asisten al programa de control de la presión arterial. El 41% conoce la definición de hipertensión arterial, el 64% identifica los valores normales de presión arterial y el 49% reconocen como se diagnostica la misma. Referente a los comportamientos el 51% se encuentra en sobre peso y el 49% no realiza ninguna actividad física actualmente. Por los resultados se concluye que el déficit de conocimientos se asocia a la poca adherencia de la información del tema y las prácticas saludables deficientes se relaciona con bajos ingresos económicos y sedentarismo

Con el objetivo de determinar si la Corporación Colegio San Bonifacio de las Lanzas contribuye con la formación ciudadana de los estudiantes del grado 5°, a través de la educación artística y los proyectos artísticos que se imparten en la institución, se realizó un estudio de caso, con un seguimiento al trabajo durante cinco años, lo que permitió evidenciar el modo en que a través de la experiencia de conocimiento corporal, emocional, simbólico y estético, se contribuye a la formación del pensamiento creativo y la expresión artística, a partir de manifestaciones materiales e inmateriales, en contextos interculturales que se expresan a través de los diferentes proyectos que, unidos con el arte, la cultura y el patrimonio están contribuyendo a que los individuos se relacionen con la sociedad, se integren a la comunidad, generen identidad, sentido de pertenencia, se unan por espacios de solidaridad, tolerancia, respeto, generando conciencia de grupo, creando vínculos de afecto y lealtad a su ciudad formada a partir de una historia y tradición cultural particular. Por tal motivo, resulta esencial que se tenga en cuenta que los proyectos de formación ciudadana pueden fortalecerse a través de la educación artística, ya que el arte es una fuente de motivación excepcional para niños, niñas y jóvenes si de propiciar la formación de seres con capacidad crítica, autónomos, sensibles y en condiciones propicias para la sana convivencia se trata.
Procesos de adaptabilidad e identidad, al interior de las prácticas musicales en Villavicencio-Meta
Authors: Bolaños-Motta José Ignacio
Published: March 2019

Este artículo da a conocer la investigación llevada a cabo en una de las academias musicales de Villavicencio (Meta), la cual tuvo por objetivo analizar los procesos de adaptabilidad al entorno artístico de un grupo de docentes y estudiantes, en su mayoría migrantes, teniendo en cuenta las tensiones identitarias que se generan en torno a las afinidades artísticas de los recién llegados, frente a la cultura mayoritaria del lugar. El estudio es de tipo etnográfico, aunque también se desarrollaron Talleres de Documentación Narrativa de Experiencias Pedagógicas, con el fin de llegar a una descripción más detallada de la realidad estudiada. Las estrategias de recolección de información implementadas fueron: la entrevista y la cartografía social artística. De tal manera, los resultados indican la existencia de diversos modelos de identidad musical, surgidos a partir de dos propuestas destinadas a realizar prácticas musicales en la región. Como conclusión se presenta la necesidad de generar un diálogo intercultural entre el sector político cultural de Villavicencio y las personas que cuentan con nuevas y distintas formas de expresión artística.

Authors: Grisales Aguirre Andrés Mauricio
Published: March 2019

El presente artículo muestra la revisión de literatura en cuanto al uso de recursos tecnológicos en procesos de enseñanza – aprendizaje de las matemáticas en distintos contextos de formación con el fin de identificar cuáles son los aspectos teóricos y tecnológicos que se deben tener en cuenta para la creación de estos recursos, cuál ha sido el impacto de su aplicación y cuáles son los retos y perspectivas que se presentan en este campo de trabajo. Se hizo una revisión de 33 referencias seleccionadas después de una búsqueda en bases de datos aplicando ciertos criterios de inclusión y de exclusión y también una revisión de otros trabajos referenciados en estas mismas. Se concluye que el uso de este tipo de recursos en clases de matemáticas tiene un impacto positivo en los estudiantes, sin embargo hace falta realizar estudios que profundicen más respecto a este impacto en períodos más amplios de tiempo. Se plantea que para lograr aprendizajes significativos de la matemática utilizando recursos tecnológicos es necesario articular en los currículos de formación las competencias comunicativas y tecnológicas, no solo en los estudiantes sino también en los docentes quienes deben transformar los métodos tradiciones de enseñanza de esta área.

Social Aspects of Learning: Sámi People in the Circumpolar North
Authors: Laiti Outi Kaarina , Frangou Satu-Maarit
Published: March 2019

This article addresses how, in the Arctic regions, indigenous traditional educational approaches focus on the cultural background of the people and their social learning customs in today’s context. The development of Arctic pedagogical approaches is discussed in light of experiences collected in Finnish Lapland in 2017 with the Sámi people. Particularly, the significance of social interactions in indigenous pedagogies is explored. We ask how social interactions benefit technologically enhanced learning in the Sámi cultural context. The findings suggest that social interactions have the potential for improving learning even when learning with and through information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Equitable Engagement in STEM: Using E-textiles to Challenge the Positioning of Non-dominant Girls in School Science
Authors: Searle Kristin , Tofel-Grehl Colby , Breitenstein Janet
Published: March 2019

This paper examines how working with sewable, programmable electronics embedded in textiles (e-textiles) impacted the self-perceptions and actions of two middle school girls from non-dominant communities as they navigated their place within science class. Using analytic induction (Erickson, 1986), we explore the phenomena around their experiences and the influence of their teachers’ perceptions. Findings indicate that the personalizable nature of e-textiles created a meaningful opportunity for students to engage in science class in a new way.

The development of Virtual Javanese Gamelan to improve Gamelan learning achievement
Authors: Safari Mohammad , January Dennis Ossy
Published: March 2019

This study aims to develop innovative, effective and practical learning media to improve learning achievement of students in memorizing and recognizing the basic instruments of gamelan. The background of this study is that there are still many elementary school (SD) and Islamic elementary school (MI) students who do not know the basic instruments of gamelan, which hinder the achievement of Javanese language competencies. This method of developing learning media uses research and development method steps. Dissemination is carried out at the Central Java Center of Education Information and Communication Technology Development (BPTIKP) for the implementation toward more targeted users. The results of the study show that they have succeeded in developing the Virtual Virtual Javanese Gamelan in which the students can use to play while learning. The learning results show a significant increase in learning achievement, in the initial conditions without using Virtual Javanese Gamelan, from 18 students, only 5 students (27.8%) have completed the learning with an average score of 66. While the learning results obtained after using the Mutimedia Virtual Javanese Gamelan, the completion reaches 18 students (100%) with an average score of 90. So it can be concluded that Virtual Javanese Gamelan multimedia can improve the learning achievement of the second graders at MI Miftahul Huda 01.
Genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) strains.
Authors: Hukowska-Szematowicz Beata , Tokarz-Deptuła Beata , Deptuła Wiesław
Published: March 2019

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) belongs to the family Caliciviridae and is the etiological agent of the haemorrhagic disease, also known as rabbit plague. Its genome is a linear single-stranded (ss) RNA of 7437 nucleotides and the capsid is built from a single structural protein VP60. In connection with the discovery of new RHDV strains, there is a constant need to investigate the genetic variation of this virus and perform phylogenetic analyses which may show the evolutionary relationships among the RHDV strains. Studies on the divergence of RHDV have shown that it is genetically quite stable, although recent observations indicate that some new RHDV strains, significantly different from the original RHDV subtype and the new RHDVa subtype, are appearing. These latest findings suggest that a new group of RHDV strains has evolved. The present review summarizes the current knowledge on the genetic variation and the latest achievements in phylogenetic analyses of RHDV strains isolated in various countries.
