Authors: Suhaimi Liyana Putri , Md Yunus Melor
Published: September 2021

Technology and the internet has been used as an educational platform for years. Due to the pandemic learning online has become part of the norms. This study explored the use of cooperative learning by using the feature of breakout room in Zoom application towards Malaysian University English Test (MUET) students’ writing skills. Besides this study investigates students’ perception towards online cooperative learning methods. This study uses case study research design. There were 18 students chosen as a sample of this study who were from a secondary school in Malaysia that at the pre-university level (19 years old) which have never tried breakout room features in Zoom application but all of them are digital literate. The participants underwent six sessions of online cooperative learning treatment. Participant journals and individual interviews were used to collect data which highlighted their opinion on these methods and also the challenges that they were facing while using this platform. Findings reveal that the participant had positive perception towards online cooperation learning via breakout room in zoom application for writing skills. Another implication that can be derived from this study is that even in virtual classroom cooperative learning improves the participants’ social and problem solving skills. Thus, online cooperative learning is recommended to improve MUET students and it is aligned with Malaysian Education Blueprint (MEB) to promote student centered learning and create critical thinking students.

The plight of China’s journalism education - From the perspective of the sociology of education
Authors: Hao Li
Published: September 2021

China’s journalism education has been changing all the time to meet new demands brought by the political and economic reforms over the last two decades in the 21st century. However, the covert wars between ideology and practice, between classrooms and newsrooms have caused the “split personality” and general confusion among China’s journalism educators and students. Several educational and practical problems thus arise as a result of the tug-of-war between economic and ideological demands. The problems of China’s journalism education are not only from its complex social and economic environments, but also from its weight of history and culture. Although both journalism educators and some media organizations in China are making great effort to heighten awareness of problems and actively attempting to take remedial measures, the transition from the classroom to the newsroom is made more difficult by the complicatedness of the business operation of schools and media organizations, and the systematicity of journalism education remains problematic.

Published: September 2021

This research aims at determining the differences in the increase of conceptual mastery of the matter and its changes between students who study with the Predict-Observe-Explain Strategy assisted by Conceptual Change Text (POE-ACCT) and students who study with the Expository Strategy. This study involved 63 students who were divided into 2 groups, a control group (33 students) and an experiment (30 students). The research instrument is in the form of a five-tier diagnostic test. The instrument has gone through an expert and empirical validation process. The data obtained were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed a significant increase in the conceptual mastery of the experimental group (N-gain = 0.26) and in the control group (N-gain = 0.06), which were significant (p < .05). The POE-ACCT strategy was found more beneficial compared to the Expository Strategy in increasing the conceptual mastery of the prospective elementary school teachers. Although the POE-ACCT strategy provided an increase in the conceptual mastery, an increase of 0.26 was categorized in a low category and this indicated the need for improvement of the strategy.

AS LÍNGUAS MATERNAS ANGOLANAS NO CONTEXTO DAS POLÍTICAS EDUCATIVAS. O CASO DA LÍNGUA KIMBUNDU
Authors: Armando António Francisco
Published: September 2021

Este artigo debruça-se essencialmente sobre as línguas maternas angolanas no contexto das políticas educativas, com exemplos do funcionamento da Língua Kimbundu como demonstração da sua relevância na esfera docente-educativa. Fez-se também a distinção das Línguas Portuguesa e Kimbundu por meio da colocação dos seus pronomes átonos, e propôs igualmente a necessidade da implementação do ensino bilingue dessas línguas nos diferentes subsistemas de ensino. Nesse sentido, a inserção da garantia das línguas angolanas nos diplomas legais permitirá aos diversos actores da educação traçarem estratégias imediatas para a sua execução e não no formato actual em que não há obrigatoriedade dessa questão. Todavia, a presente pesquisa formulou os seguintes objectivos: geral – compreender as línguas maternas angolanas no contexto das políticas educativas, e como específicos – reflectir sobre as línguas maternas angolanas no contexto das políticas educativas; descrever o funcionamento da língua kimbundu como indicador para a compreensão da sua importância, no sentido de despertar aos administradores das políticas educacionais do País, o interesse em reformular a legislação atinente às línguas de ensino. Quanto à metodologia foi de revisão bibliográfica, com um paradigma interpretativo-construtivista, tendo em conta a sua índole qualitativa e, ainda utilizou-se os métodos analítico, sintético e comparativo. Todavia, a pesquisa deduziu que os Legisladores do Sistema da Educação e Ensino desconsideraram, a natureza técnica e a realidade plurilingue de Angola, daí a não garantia do ensino  das línguas de Angola nos diferentes subsistemas de ensino, pelo facto de não apresentar fundamentos claros na aludida lei da intenção real da sua implementação.
Oral Theology: An alternative Theological Model for African Theology
Authors: Kimutai Chesosi Bonface
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The crux of this paper is to explore the rationale and basis of doing oral theology in the African context and situation. It debunks the myth that written theology is the only viable modus operandi of doing African theology.Methodology: The study using the desktop research methodology or library research establishes the vitality and significance of oral theology in the quest for authentic African theology which adheres to Biblical fidelity and cultural relevance.Results: The challenges of Oral Theology can be mitigated by importing written form of theology to capture the Oral Theology without minimizing or obfuscating its distinctiveness of Oral Theology. It can also be stored in for posterity so that it is not lost. We can also integrate Oral Theology with narrative theology to formulate, promulgate, define, defend and document an oral Theology that has the narrative at its trust. Oral Theology cannot be a standalone Theology. It needs to be buttressed with written Theology to preserve it for posterity. It also needs to be integrated to systematic Theology to make it intelligible relevant and appropriate to the African context and situation. Oral Theology needs to be formulated in a sense that it should supplement rates than supplant Bible hermeneutics story telling should not viewed as a surrogate to Biblical exposition of the text.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends an integrated theological method that synergizes oral theology with written theology for African theology to have both biblical fidelity and cultural relevance. Oral theology ought to be included in the church teaching curriculum especially in its theological education by extension which is an informal theological education targeting church ministers. This will go a long way in enhancing the quality of church ministers and will lead eventually to exponential church growth
“Checar fatos e desmentir boatos”: fake news e discurso jornalístico no Brasil
Authors: Dela Silva Silmara
Published: September 2021

Neste trabalho, voltamo-nos ao funcionamento do discurso sobre o jornalismo e a sua prática no Brasil, dirigindo nossa atenção aos serviços de checagem de fatos (fact checking), que passaram a ganhar espaço e circular mais intensamente na grande mídia no ano de 2018. Da perspectiva teórico-metodológica da análise de discurso, que toma como objeto o discurso enquanto efeito de sentidos que decorrem da inscrição da língua na história, constituímos nosso corpus de análise tomando como foco os blogs: Estadão Verifica, lançado em junho de 2018, pelo jornal O Estado de S. Paulo; e É isso mesmo?, posto em funcionamento em março de 2017, pelo grupo O Globo. Diante de dizeres sobre esses serviços de checagem, bem como dos discursos em circulação em suas páginas digitais, propomos uma reflexão teórico-analítica acerca do fazer jornalístico e a construção de acontecimentos no atual contexto sócio-histórico brasileiro.
Práticas multimodais exploradas em uma unidade didática desenvolvida em um programa de formação continuada multiletrada no/para o contexto escolar
Authors: Severo Trivisiol Vanessa SEVERO , Kirchhof Ticks Luciane
Published: September 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir em que medida e de que maneira as atividades, produzidas para uma unidade didática em um programa de formação continuada, exploram a multimodalidade, particularmente o papel dado às imagens na constituição das atividades. Levamos em consideração que o termo multiletramentos refere-se a dois grandes aspectos de produção de sentido: a) a diversidade social, que parte das culturas, referência e contexto do aluno; b) a multimodalidade, no qual os multiletramentos se caracterizam pelo uso e pelo trabalho com as tecnologias, mídias, gêneros e linguagens usadas nestes contextos (KALANTZIZ; COPE, 2012). Para a análise dos textos não verbais explorados nas atividades, levamos em consideração as categorias analíticas propostas pela Gramática do Design Visual (GDV) (KRESS;VAN LEEUWEN, 2006). Os resultados indicam que os enunciados das atividades exploram as imagens, e estas assumem um papel coadjuvante importante no processo de construção dos multiletramentos proposto pela unidade didática.

Geochronological implications of 210Pb and 137Cs mobility in cave guano deposits
Authors: McFarlane Donald A. , Lundberg Joyce
Published: September 2021

Some recent publications on the paleo- and historical environmental interpretation of bat guano sequences have relied on 210Pb and 137Cs distribution to establish age-depth models, even when these are at odds with radiocarbon models in the lower parts of the sequence. Here, we present both field and laboratory evidence for the unpredictable mobility of lead and cesium in decomposing bat guano deposits. We suggest that 210Pb- and 137Cs-based chronologies of bat guano deposits should only be used when independently supported, for example, by a robust radiocarbon age-depth model.
Synchronising Off-Site Fabrication with On-Site Production in Construction
Authors: Mossman Alan , Sarhan Saad
Published: September 2021

The aim of this study is to explore how offsite fabrication (OSF) can be tightly coupled with production and assembly on-site. Prefabrication is a production method that has potential to yield significant productivity and sustainability improvements in the construction industry. Failure to synchronise production in the factory with on-site production can lead to financial losses for the client/owner, main contractor and subcontractors as well as to delays in the construction schedule. The study draws on two case-studies and the authors’ experiences in the context of a critical review of literature on the concepts of flow and Just-in-time (JIT) construction delivery. The findings show the value of a buffer between suppliers, fabricators and the site as a way to help the whole supply team create production flow and more environmentally friendly results. A buffer can help while the team is learning to use collaborative short-term planning to create predictable production. The paper recommends ways to synchronise OSF with on-site production. The paper provides practitioners with ideas to reduce both work waiting for workers (or robots) and workers (or robots) waiting for work – and it contributes to theory by raising more questions for further research.
Eco-innovation Adoption in Malaysian Contractor Firms: Understanding the Components and Drivers
Authors: Mat Isa Siti Sarah , Zainul Abidin Nazirah
Published: September 2021

Eco-innovation (EI) is a concept that integrates eco-consciousness within innovation development.  While EI has been widely applied in the manufacturing industry, its adoption in the construction sector remains uncertain. The rising concern of environmental impacts on construction necessitates the importance of finding more innovative ways to push environmental needs within the complexity of projects’ design and methods. Contractors hold a strategic position to promote and adopt EI into management, construction, and development. This paper explores 1) the adoption level of EI practices and 2) the relationship between the adoption of EI practices and the factors that drive EI, within the Malaysian contractor firms. A questionnaire survey was developed using 18 EI components and four driving factors. A total of 95 Grade G7 contractor firms responded to the survey. The survey revealed that the level of EI adoption in contractor firms is still at a moderate pace. The results showed that organisational EI is a crucial component that supports the firm’s eco-innovative management approach to improve firm’s environmental performance. The results indicated that all four driving factors have a positive relationship with the implementation of EI. Technology factor was identified as crucial in influencing better adoption of EI in contractor firms. Findings from this study are beneficial to develop a framework on strategies to increase the EI adoption rate among the contractor firms and deepen the understanding of EI implementation at the firm level, further extending to the project site level.
Pobres, pero con riqueza cultural. Representaciones sociales de estudiantes sobre la multiculturalidad en la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo
Authors: García Hernández Fabiola , Chávez Arellano María Eugenia , Suárez Ortega Magdalena
Published: September 2021

En este documento se presentan resultados parciales de una investigación realizada en la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo sobre las representaciones sociales que tienen los estudiantes sobre lo multicultural y lo indígena, ya que esta institución educativa se caracteriza por ser, a nivel nacional, la que más estudiantes indígenas registra en su matrícula (alrededor de 28%) de nivel medio superior y superior. La población estudiantil de Chapingo es muy diversa en términos de su origen, por lo que la reconocida multiculturalidad de México se halla representada de manera amplia en esta institución. No obstante, pese a los criterios de inclusión y el discurso de la diversidad, resulta interesante identificar las representaciones sociales que los y las aspirantes a agrónomos tienen de lo multicultural y lo indígena en un contexto de educación formal culturalmente diverso y de qué manera estas concepciones se objetivan en sus interacciones con los otros.

EVALUATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF USING THE PUNCTURE METHOD IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC SINUSITIS IN HIV-INFECTED PATIENTS
Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, Zagurskaya M.S.
Published: September 2021

Indications for the use of the puncture method for the treatment of chronic sinusitis in HIV-infected patients depend on the form of inflammation of the paranasal sinuses (exudative, proliferative or alterative) and are determined by the clinical stage of immunodeficiency. The puncture method is indicated for the treatment of chronic sinusitis in HIV-infected individuals in the first and second clinical stages of immunodeficiency, since in these subgroups of patients the likelihood of an exudative form of chronic sinusitis is similar to that in HIV-negative individuals. The use of the puncture method for the treatment of chronic sinusitis is not indicated for HIV-infected patients at the third and fourth clinical stages of immunodeficiency, since these subgroups of patients are statistically significantly more likely to have a proliferative form of chronic sinusitis in comparison with HIV-negative individuals.

Published: September 2021

Objective: to determine the prognostic factors determining the severity of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) in children. Methods: a retrospective analysis of the course of the disease was performed in 108 children with WPW syndrome aged 13.6 (12-16) years. Depending on the number of attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia (PT), all children were divided into 2 groups: group A consisted of 47 children (43.5%) with a history of no more than three attacks of PT and they were rare; group B included 61 children (56.5%) with frequent (more than once a month) attacks of PT, more than four in the history. We studied: the family history, the clinical picture of the disease, the nature of paroxysmal tachycardia, the effectiveness of treatment, and the results of instrumental studies. Using the method of mathematical modeling, the informative value of each feature was determined, and the diagnostic value was determined. Results: age and gender differences in the development of WPW syndrome in children were established. The presence of a family history of ECG signs of ventricular preexcitation is a reliable sign (p=0.02), contributing to more frequent PT attacks. More frequent development of PT attacks was noted in patients with mitral valve prolapse (p=0.03) and additional chords in the left ventricular cavity (p=0.001). In the group with frequent PT attacks, signs of sinus node dysfunction were detected more often (<0.001). According to the echocardiographic study, children with frequent PT attacks were more likely to have disorders in the form of thickening of the interventricular septum in the diastole (p=0.010) and signs of diastolic dysfunction of the right ventricle (p = 0.010). Conclusion: The factors of prognostic value include: male gender, the presence of the expressed symptoms of the attack of PT and PT frequency more than once per month, low vagal efficiency on relieving the attack, a history of frequent attacks, a family history of ECG characteristics of premature ventricular excitation, the presence of signs of sinus node dysfunction during 24 hours without the attack and the signs of arrhythmogenic myocardial dysfunction by echocardiography.
