Published: November 2022

Objectives: The present study aimed to observe the beneficial effects of sacubitril-valsartan at a lower dose of 24/26mg BID in a third-world country (Pakistan).

Methodology: This was a randomized, prospective, observational cohort study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in patients diagnosed, managed, and discharged as a case of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and followed up in the cardiac outpatient department 6 weeks post-discharge. The required information was collected from the patients by means of a designed questionnaire containing minimal personal information, including age and gender. The questionnaire used was an FDA-approved KCCQ indicated for the use of assessing the quality-of-life change before and following the therapy indicated for HF with reduced ejection fraction. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.

Results: This study included a total of 77 patients out of which 49 were male (63.6%) and 28 were female (36.4%). The mean age of the patients included was 60.05± 11.80 years. 68.8% of them were hypertensive and 51.9% were diabetic. All patients included were those with reduced Ejection Fraction out of which 29.9% had EF between 20-25%, 49.3 % had it between 30-35% whereas 20.8% of patients had an EF of 40%. In the case of NYHA class before starting Sacubitril/Valsartan approximately 84.4% of patients were in class 3 and 15.6% of them belonged to class 4. The functional class was improved 6 weeks post-treatment in which 79.2% of patients had functional class 2 and 20.8% of them had class 3. The comparison between KCCQ scores of heart failure patients before treatment and after treatment with sacubitril/valsartan at the dosage of 24/26mg BID were statistically significant.

Conclusion: It was thus concluded from the study that even a low dose of sacubitril-valsartan results in improved quality of life as assessed by KCCQ scoring in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Authors: Danish Naveed , Ullah Shafi , Akhtar Shakeel , Ashraf Amber
Published: November 2022

Objectives: To determine frequency of RVI in patients with acute IWMI presenting to Cardiology department Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study (descriptive) was conducted at department of Cardiology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from 05 Sept, 2019 to 05 Mar, 2020. A thorough history was taken and detail systemic examination was performed.  A proforma was filled showing demographics of the patients. Two sets of ECGs were performed. One for diagnosis of IWMI and other for diagnosis of RV infarction. ECG was done through Fuduka-ME-C110-ECG machine at a standard paper speed of 25mm/sec with 0.1 mV/mm. The ECGs were looked for diagnosis of IWMI and RV infarction in leads II, III, aVF for ST segment elevation and also ST segment elevation in V3R, V4R, V5R, and V6R respectively. Furthermore, the ECGs findings were verified by a team of consultant cardiologists.

Results: Mean and SDs for age was 64±8.97. (Table No. 1). 100 (38.46%) patients were recorded in 30-50 years age group and 160 (61.53%) patients were recorded in 51-70 years age group. 141 (54.23%) male patients and 119 (45.76%) female patients were recorded. 63 (24.23%) patients were recorded with RV infarction (RVI). In age group 30-50, 16 (6.15%) patients had RVI and in age group 31-70, 47 (18.07%) patients experienced RV infarction. P Value: 0.01. 37 (14.2%) males had RVI and 26 (10%) female patients had RV infarction. P Value: 0.410.

Conclusion: We have come to this conclusion that diagnosis of RVMI is highly probable, therefore, specific treatment includes fluid loading and vasopressors, which should be administered immediately. In addition, patients with RV involvement should be given/kept under continuous monitoring and observation because they are at a significantly higher risk for ventricular fibrillation, sustained ventricular tachycardia and high-degree AV blockade, any of which can further aggravate the overall prognosis of this disease.

Authors: Rasool Muhammad , Kumar Rajesh , Sial Jawaid Akbar , Karim Musa
Published: November 2022

Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the predictive power of Shock Index (SI), TIMI Risk Index (TRI), LASH Score, and ACEF Score for the prediction of in-hospital mortality in a contemporary cohort of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a tertiary care cardiac center of a developing country.

Methodology: Consecutive patients diagnosed with STEMI and undergoing primary PCI were included in this study. SI, TRI, LASH, and ACEF were computed and their predictive power was assessed as the area under the curve (AUC) on the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for in-hospital mortality.

Results: A total of 977 patients were included in this study, 780 (79.8%) of which were male, and the mean age was 55.6 ± 11.5 years with 149 (15.3%) under 45 years of age. At presentation, 101 (11.4%) patients were in Killip class III/IV, 121 (12.4%) had arrhythmias, 59 (6%) were in cardiac arrest, and 130 (13.3%) were intubated. The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.3% (42). AUC for TRI was 0.669 (cut-off: ≥17.5, sensitivity: 76.2%, specificity: 45.6%). AUC for SI was 0.595 (cut-off: ≥0.9, sensitivity: 21.4%, specificity: 89.8%). AUC for LASH score was 0.745 (cut-off: ≥0, sensitivity: 76.2%, specificity: 66.9%). AUC for the ACEF score was 0.786 (cut-off: ≥1.66, sensitivity: 71.4%, specificity: 73.5%).

Conclusion: In conclusion, ACEF showed sufficiently high predictive power with good sensitivity and specificity compared to other three scores. These simplified indices based on readily available hemodynamic parameters can be reliable alternatives to the computational complex scoring systems for the risk stratification of STEMI patients.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Ishaq , Ullah Abid , Jan Rafiullah , Ullah Shafi
Published: November 2022

Objectives: To report the average IVUS derived MLAs and plaque burden of coronary arteries of our local population.

Methodology: It was a retrospective observational study. A total of 64 patients having IVUS done from January 2022 to September 2022 was enrolled in this study. IVUS images were acquired using 40 MHz, 3.1 French Opticross IVUS catheter (OptiCross™, Boston Scientific, USA).

Results: Out of 54 patients, 39 (72%) were males with a mean age of 53.7 ± 14.1 years. The left main (LM) disease was found in n = 43 (79.6%) on coronary angiogram. The LM mean minimal luminal area was 6.68 ± 1.9 mm2 and mean minimal luminal diameter was 3.83 mm ± 1.02. Mean LM plaque burden was 57% (range 0-57). In proximal LAD mean MLA was 5.04 ± 2.7mm2, mean proximal reference diameter was 3.97 ± 0.64 mm and plaque burden was 53.88 ± 16.5%. The pattern of the plaque was diffuse with more calcified in the LAD than in the left main stem. The mean minimal stent area achieved in patients who had received stenting was 13.05 ± 2.88mm2 in LM (n = 15), and 9.71 ± 2.88 mm2 in proximal LAD (n = 30).

Figure 1: (a). IVUS image of left main artery with minimum plaque. (b) well apposed stent in LAD of a patient, (c). heavy plaque burden with calcification causing drop out.

Conclusion: Our local population has Coronary sizes comparable to those reported in the international literature. The stent size in major vessels like LM and proximal LAD should be guided by the use of IVUS to achieve maximum MSA to reduce adverse outcomes.

Published: November 2022

Objectives: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the standard of care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) worldwide. Recommended by the latest guidelines (1). In Pakistan only a handful centres offer PPCI services, many others rely on thrombolysis as the reperfusion strategy for STEMI patients which has been shown to be inferior to primary PCI (2). In our province the PPCI facility is even harder to offer where infrastructure and economic conditions of the public is lagging behind many areas in the country. Ours is a study from a public sector hospital in its infancy. We present our data of a single centre and believe that it will help shape the policy of the government in favour of expanding PPCI facilities. To share the primary PCI data of our centre.

Methodology: It was a retrospective observational study. All comers who underwent PPCI for STEMI in Peshawar Institute of Cardiology from March 2022 to August 2022were enrolled. All procedures were performed by experienced interventional cardiologists or their fellows under their direct supervision.

Results: A total of 337 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 53 ± 16 years. 73 % (n = 246) were males. Most commonly involved culprit artery was LAD (47%) followed by RCA (34%). 16.9% (n = 57) patients had triple vessel disease, 35 % (n = 119) double vessel disease and 47.7% (n = 161) had only one vessel disease. LMS disease was diagnosed in 18 (5.3%) patients, out of which 4 (1.1%) were stented during the index procedure. In-hospital mortality was 3% (n = 10), out of which 6 (1.8 %) patients were in cardiogenic shock and all were on inotropic support. Four patients (1.1%) needed intubation and balloon pump was used in another 4 (1.1 %) patients. Second and third generation DES were used in 86% (n = 290), POBA in 08% (n = 27), urgent surgical referral was done in 03 % (n = 10) while in 03% (n = 10) patients no stenting was done. Intravascular ultrasound was used in 4 (1.1%) cases.

Conclusion: Primary PCI can be offered in public sector hospital to our population. The need of the hour is to delegate more resources to this life saving procedure.

Published: November 2022

Objectives: Bradyarrhythmias and Electrical conduction defects are common sequelae of acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). Many of these arrhythmias are symptomless and do not require urgent intervention while others are life threatening. Of all other potential causes myocardial ischemia is the commonest and important causative agent of acute and potentially dangerous conduction defect. This study will upgrade various aspects of patients’ care with Acute MI who need TPM which will improve outcome and make the cause of death along with long term sequelae clear in such patients in our local population. To determine the in hospital outcomes of patients requiring temporary transvenous pacemaker after ST elevation MI.

Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at cardiology Department, MTI-KTH, Peshawar from 25 Jan, 2020 to 25 Jun, 2020. All temporary pacemakers were implanted in our Coronary Care Unit procedures and were done in an exploration room. All procedures performed by consultant cardiologists and trainee registrars. Pacemaker malfunction was described as capture failure, failure to sense, or both. Death secondary to cardiac tamponade, a systole or ventricular arrhythmias as well as improvement and need for permanent pacing was also be documented as mentioned above in operational definitions. Data was obtained after performing the procedure and during stay of patient in the coronary care unit, as determined by set protocol. The electrocatheter used was 110 cm bipolardevices of caliber 6F. Cardiac catheterization was generally via the right subclavian or internal jugular by the Seldinger’s wire technique, with insertion in the apical region of the right ventricle under aseptic measures. A sensing threshold values for pacing of 0.5=2 mV were set. Pacing was initially deployed at values double the threshold voltages, using the TPM in WI mode.

Results: As per in-hospital outcomes, death occurred in 14 (9.7%) died, 49 (34.0%) patients had malfunction, 10 (6.9%) patients had hematoma, 26 (18.1%) patients had fever, 27 (18.8%) patients experienced improvement while 18 (12.5%) required permanent pacing.

Conclusion: In-hospital adverse outcomes were observed in a significant number of patients.

Authors: Rahman Syed Kashif ur , Wahab Muhammad Abdul , Shafiq Umer
Published: November 2022

Objectives: To address the association between Lipoprotein (a) and coronary artery disease risk in young patients & to evaluate whether high levels of lipoprotein (a) is a predictor of risk and is related to the severity of coronary artery disease.

Methodology: This retrospective study was carried out at Cardiology Deptt of Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar between June and December 2021. Total 160 patients referred to the cardiac catheterization lab of either gender, aged 20-45 years who underwent coronary angiography for various clinical indications were enrolled in the study. Lipoprotein (a) level, lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, anthropometric and clinical parameters of the patients were analyzed.

Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in the mean of serum lipoprotein (a) concentrations between group “A” (58.6 ± 3.20 mg/ dl) and group “B” (19.6+0.10 mg/ dl) P value <0.001. Mean HDL was 32.6 ± 0.30 in group “A” and in group B it was 40.4 ± 0.39 (p value >0.005), total cholesterol was 199 ± 2.00 in group “A” & 152 ± 1.80 in group “B” (p value <0.005), triglycerides (TGL) in group “A” (182.76 ± 43.86 mg/dl) & in group “B” (124.14 ± 44.01 mg/dl) P value <0.001, LDL in group “A” was (130±4.28 & in group “B” (84.4±3.00) p value <0.001, VLDL between group “A” (36.03 ± 9.19mg/dl) and group B (24.68 ± 8.89 mg/dl) P value > 0.003. However total Cholesterol / HDL was significantly lower in group “B” 3.5 as compared to group “A” 5.8 P value < 0.002.

Conclusion: Irrespective of other traditional risk factors, increase in Lipoprotein (a) is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease in young adults with positive family history. Thus elevated levels of Lipoprotein (a) may serve as an important criterion to identify the individuals who need to undergo lipoprotein (a) lowering treatment, thereby preventing them from myocardial infarction.
The Political Economy of American Exchange Rate Bill Voting: From the Perspective of RMB Appreciation
Authors: Jiang Wei , Wang Yaqin , Wang Tao
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Under the theoretical framework of international trade political economy, this paper examines whether interest groups can dominate the voting of the US Exchange Rate Manipulation Act in 2015 from the perspective of RMB appreciation. Taking 100 senators as samples, this paper makes model estimation by using Full Information Maximum Likelihood Method (FIML), and quantitatively investigates the deep-seated driving factors behind the voting results of the US Exchange Rate Manipulation Act. The empirical results show that the influence of political donations from different interest groups on the voting behavior of parliamentarians is different. The political donations from American labor organization significantly affect the voting behavior of parliamentarians, but business groups and ideological organizations do not play a significant role in the voting results. In addition, senators’ personal characteristics affect the political donation of the bill to a certain extent, but do not affect the voting results. In the future, China needs to continuously pay attention to the latest progress of US exchange rate policy, correctly evaluate its impact on China’s economy, and maintain communication and coordination with important US interest groups to reduce the negative impact on related industries in China.

Dinámica poblacional y fidelidad de refugio de Carollia brevicauda (Quiroptera: Phyllostomidae) en un refugio artificial, en los Andes nororientales de Colombia
Authors: Gutierrez-Sanabria Diego R. , Lizcano Diego J.
Published: November 2022

Los refugios imponen presiones selectivas a los murciélagos. Los refugios proporcionan sitios de apareamiento, hibernación y crianza; promueven interacciones sociales, digestión de alimentos; y ofrecen protección contra el clima adverso y los depredadores. Por ende, tienen un papel importante en la ecología y evolución de estos mamíferos. En este trabajo se estudió la dinámica poblacional y fidelidad del murciélago Carollia brevicauda en un refugio artificial a lo largo de un año. Capturamos murciélagos con una trampa-arpa entre las 18:00 y 00:00 horas, con un esfuerzo de muestreo de 120 horastrampa y un total de 91 individuos marcados. Los resultados mostraron que la colonia permaneció con un número de individuos poco variable (15 ± 5) a lo largo del periodo de muestreo. La mayor fidelidad de las hembras (1.25 ± 0.17) en comparación con los machos (0.85 ± 0.12) sugiere que este refugio es usado como sitio de crianza. Análisis con el método de captura-recaptura, según el modelo de Cormack-Jolly-Seber, indican que la población es de 260 individuos. La tasa de recaptura fue baja indicando una alta movilidad de los individuos, que puede estar asociada a un comportamiento social fisión-fusión de grupo. Los datos sugieren que las hembras sincronizan la gestación para dar a luz en la época de lluvias cuando hay mayor disponibilidad de recursos alimenticios y que las construcciones humanas al tener características de refugios permanentes, ofrecen condiciones propicias para la reproducción y maternidad de esta especie.

Published: November 2022

The negative impact of a complex of technological stress factors on the body of young animals determines the use of new biologically active substances in diets that can prevent their adverse effects. Lipids, which are the most concentrated source of energy, can become an alternative to feed antibiotics as growth promoters. The article contains materials of the study of the effectiveness of using different dosages of the new feed additive “Lecithin C” in diets of young cattle. Studies have shown that the

use of the feed additive in the compound feed concentrate KR-3 in amounts of 6.5 g, 13.0 and 19.5 g per head per day contributes to an increase in dry matter intake by 1.9-7.5% and metabolizable energy by 2.2-6.5%, increases average daily productivity, provides a reduction in the cost of feed consumed per 1 kg of gain, and the cost of gain by by 3.9-7.1%.

The aim of the research was to establish an effective option for raising and fattening cattle for meat in Belarus. The article analyzes options for organizing the work of complexes for raising and fattening cattle of different capacities on the basis of empirical, industrial and statistical materials. It has been established that with a change in the number of animals, the following pattern is observed in terms of production period, production rhythm, the number of stockings per year and the size of the production group: with an increase (decrease) in the average daily gain by 100 g, the oduction rhythm decreases (increases) by 1 day. With an increase in the turnover of cattle places during the year and a reduction in rhythm, beef production will increase by 8.7-74.3 tons (with average daily gains of 1000 g).

Authors: MOSKALEV A. A.
Published: November 2022

Prophylactorium calf housing stage plays an important role in the formation of the body’s defenses. The article presents the results of research aimed at studying the influence of the duration of keeping calves in individual houses on their performance and comfort. It was found that with an increase in the duration of keeping calves in individual houses up to 30 days, the average daily gain in live weight increased by 3.8% in the first three months of life, with an increase in the duration of keeping calves in individual houses up to 45-90 days - by 5.1-6 .7% compared to calves kept in individual houses for 20 days. When transferring calves to group sections at the age of 20-45 days, they relatively quickly adapted to external conditions, actively moved. Thus, the transfer of calves to group housing at the age of 30-45 days makes it possible to create more comfortable conditions that meet their biological needs.

Published: November 2022

In conditions of industrial livestock farming, the adaptive stress on the animal body increases, which causes metabolic disorders, weakening of immune system and, eventually, a decrease in animal productivity. Balanced feeding of animals allows to regulate lipid metabolism, in particular, through the use of phospholipids in diets. The article contains the results of the study of the effect of the feed additive “Lecithin C” on the hematological parameters of young cattle. Studies have shown that the use of the additive under discussion in different concentrations has a positive effect on the morpho-biochemical composition of the blood and normalizes metabolic parameters.

Published: November 2022

Teratomatous tumours of the head are rather uncommon. We report a 3-month-old child who presented with acute signs of raised intracranial pressure, needing craniectomy and subtotal tumour removal. The patient was diagnosed as intracranial immature teratoma grade 3, from the pathological study and elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Managing brain teratoma posed a challenge to the managing team due to the location of the tumour, the unavailability of standardized chemotherapy protocol and the dilemma of commencing adjuvant chemotherapy in a very young infant. The tumour was partially removed due to its critical location. And chemotherapy was delayed until the patient achieved 7 months of age. After four rounds of chemotherapy, the patient remained in remission for more than three years follow up.

There are a number of problems regarding the Prophet's hadiths both from method thinking and interpretation that are sometimes misleading. Of the various problems, there are some hadiths that are sometimes doubtful such as mukhtalif hadith which is considered outwardly looks contradictory. mukhtalif hadith is also one of the sources of law in Islam.  Hadith is sometimes difficult to be the proposition of a charity because of the clash. But if it has gone through various processes then free from opposition then this hadith can be practiced. In the process of ikhtilaf hadith through ikhtilaf hadith whose way of settlement is clear and appropriate so that the hadith can be resolved properly, it is not arbitrary people can do the process of assurance but only people who are experts in the field of hadith and Ushul fiqh. Some of the methods used for the completion of mukhtalif hadith are tawaquf, plural, tarjih and nasakh mansukh.
Ketuhanan dalam Diskursus Teologi Mazhab Klasik
Authors: Arifuddin Arifuddin
Published: November 2022

Misi utama Nabi Muhammad swt. diutus oleh Allah ke muka bumi ini, adalah mengokohkan ke-Esaan Tuhan dan menegakkan kalimat Tauhid (la>ilah}a illah) dan pemurnian akidah bangsa Arab yang terkontaminasi budaya jahiliyah, serta bertaklid kepada nenek moyang. Namun pasca wafatnya Nabi Muhammad diskursus seputar kalam atau teologi dalam Islam menjadi hangat diperbincangkan. Pada masa Ali bin Abi Thalib menjadi khalifah, konteks politik dalam Islam mulai berkembang, terkait perbincangan teologi. Kemudian diskursus tersebut berkembang menjadi aliran teologi Islam. Beberapa perdebatan seputar ketuhanan, menurut aliran Mu’tazilah, Asy`ariah, dan Maturudiyah yakni seputar sifat Tuhan, iman dan kufur, perbuatan Tuhan dan pebuatan manusia, kehendak mutlak dan keadilah Tuhan, wahyu dan akal, dan pelaku dosa besar. Konsepsi tentang Tuhan adalah inti dari setiap kepercayaan manusia. Tuhan selalu berada di puncak bangunan piramida kebutuhan manusia yang berkaitan dengan masalah keimanan. Di sini kita dapat memahami bersama bahwa menyembah Tuhan adalah cara manusia menuju ketakterhinggaan. Rana Tuhan yang tak terbatas kemudian dibahas di wilayah yang "terbatas". Artinya Tuhan ada dalam konsepsi manusia, sehingga konsepsi yang dibangun kemudian menjadikan Tuhan termasuk golongan tertentu. Hal inilah yang kemudian menjadi perbincangan madzhab dalam Islam.

Abstrack

This study aims to determine the malfunction (dysfunction) of the Value of Maqhasid Syariah in the phenomenon of divorce during a pandemic due to economic foundations. This research uses literature studies and through a theological normative approach. Furthermore, this research will be analyzed using the Maqhasid Sharia theory conceptualized by Jasser Auda. The results of the study suggest that there are factors so that family fulfillment during a pandemic is insufficient, including the lack of income for husbands at work and the lack of cooperation between husbands and wives in fulfilling the family economy. First, the lack of knowledge of Islamic teachings as the implementation of the hifz din value and the implementation of the tawakal attitude and faith as the Embodiment of the Hifz 'aql Value. Secondly the lack of affection between husbands and wives as an embodiment of the value of Hifz Nafs. Thirdly the physical uselessness of the body to work as the embodiment of the value of hifz nasl. Fourth The management of property as a hifz maal value.

Del horrible peligro de la lectura
Authors: Cantú Gustavo
Published: November 2022

Este trabajo se enmarca en el Proyecto de la Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBACyT) 2018-2021: Procesos subjetivos y simbólicos contemporáneos comprometidos en el aprendizaje escolar: nuevas conceptualizaciones e intervenciones. Esta investigación intenta profundizar en la comprensión de las relaciones entre los procesos psíquicos y las modalidades específicas de producción simbólica y de aprendizaje en niños y adolescentes. Uno de sus objetivos específicos propone producir conceptualizaciones sobre los trabajos subjetivos ligados a la constitución narcisista y a las modalidades de simbolización que intervienen en el aprendizaje. En función de ese objetivo, en este escrito abordaremos los trabajos subjetivos ligados a la constitución narcisista que intervienen en la lectura. Para ello, se realiza un estudio exploratorio de las formas de lectura observadas en niños y niñas con problemas de aprendizaje, con el propósito de producir conceptualizaciones teóricas acerca de los procesos subjetivos ligados a la constitución narcisista implicados en sus formas singulares de leer. Se concluye que la lectura requiere de la puesta en funcionamiento de procesos reflexivos que implican la puesta en cuestión de las certezas instituidas que tienen para el psiquismo una función identificatoria, y de procesos imaginativos cuyo modo de funcionamiento puede hacer tambalear el orden lógico de la racionalidad que sostiene el lugar unificante del yo como eje del narcismo. Se postula que en algunos sujetos la experiencia de leer puede aparecer obstaculizada como efecto de dichas amenazas.

Authors: Grunin Julián
Published: November 2022

En este trabajo se caracterizan las modalidades de construcción identitaria comprometidas en las producciones escritas que desarrollan los adolescentes en sus cuadernos de trabajo durante el tratamiento psicopedagógico grupal. Este encuadre clínico tiene lugar en el Servicio de Asistencia a Niños y Jóvenes con problemas de aprendizaje que coordina la Cátedra Psicopedagogía Clínica, con sede en la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). Para dar cuenta de las características de los procesos de simbolización, y sus alcances identitarios, involucrados en la escritura de los jóvenes se ponderan sus formas narrativas, como aquellas ligadas al orden figurativo, espontáneo, que despliegan en los márgenes de sus cuadernos. El análisis propuesto es exploratorio, cualitativo y longitudinal, y se centra en describir las transformaciones en los procesos de simbolización que inciden durante el proceso terapéutico en la complejización de los procesos imaginativos e identificatorios.

Authors: Diallo Sileymane , Faye Djibril
Published: November 2022

La expresión oral y la escrita así como la comprensión oral y la escrita son cuatro aspectos muy importantes del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de cualquier lengua. Dado que lo enseñado debe fundamentalmente ser evaluado con el fin de comprobar si los estudiantes lo tienen asimilado o no, la evaluación en materia de enseñanza-aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera debe hacerse necesariamente en las cuatro destrezas. En tanto que los docentes de español como lengua extranjera (ELE), hemos decidido indagar sobre las estrategias y técnicas de evaluación de las cuatro destrezas en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de ELE en los institutos de educación secundaria de Senegal. Para ello, hemos tomado el caso del instituto Galandou Diouf de Dakar a fin de valorar lo ya dicho e identificar los problemas relativos al tema, con miras a encontrales posibles soluciones. Para llevar a cabo nuestra investigación, hemos elaborado cuestionarios que aplicamos a los docentes y estudiantes de ELE del instituto. Los datos recopilados se han analizado cuantitativamente.

Published: November 2022

Immediate access to people and knowledge through technology is increasing, and this is often transforming our everyday lives. Using connected mobile tools like smartphones, tablets, and laptops, we purposefully “blend” physical and online activities to make optimal experiences. This is often what blended education is all about: situating learning experiences online or onsite based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of each mode. Research suggests that blended courses can have a positive impact on efficiency, convenience, and learning outcomes. By moving more of the training to online environments, blended courses add flexibility to participants’ schedules, provide learning benefit through automated and asynchronous online tools, and may tap into the modern, social Web to assist learners venture beyond the traditional confines of the classroom. To consistently achieve such benefits, teachers have to go beyond a simple “digital facelift.” Instead, teachers should aim to make transformative blends through an intentional course redesign process.
