Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan dalam memaparkan informasi terkait persepsi guru terhadap pembelajaran daring. Informasi didapatkan dari hasil wawancara yang dilakukan dengan enam orang informan yakninya tiga orang wali kelas rendah dan tiga orang wali kelas tinggi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini mengatakan bahwa pembelajaran daring tidak cocok digunakan pada tingkat sekolah dasar. Karena pada dasarnya pembelajaran anak sekolah dasar masih berpusat kepada guru. Pembelajaran daring membuat tujuan pembelajaran tidak tersampaikan sepenuhnya kepada peserta didik. banyak Masih banyak guru yang kurang pemahaman dalam IPTEK apalagi guru lama, atau guru tradisional sehingga pembelajaran daring menjadi tidak menarik. Masih kurangnya sarana dan prasarana yang mendukung seperti android dan kuota. Adapun dampak dan kendala yang dialami atau dirasakan oleh peserta didik kelas rendah dan kelas tinggi lebih kurang sama. Hal yang membedakannya di kelas rendah masih ada beberapa peserta didik yang masih belum bisa membaca dan menulis, sedangkan dikelas tinggi semua peserta didik sudah bisa membaca dan menulis
Biopic, memoria y nostalgia: la biografía del criminal
Authors: Dillon Alfredo
Published: July 2021

El artículo propone pensar el género biopic en relación con la historia, la memoria y la nostalgia, a partir del caso de la película argentina El ángel (Luis Ortega, 2018), basada en la vida del asesino serial Carlos Robledo Puch y sus crímenes a comienzos de la década de 1970. El film se desliza desde el relato biográfico hacia un plano más amplio: el de la reflexión –en clave pop– sobre el mal. La biografía de Robledo Puch es una excusa para narrar una historia que rodea el problema del mal y la libertad, la belleza y la perversión, la violencia y el erotismo como contracaras de la vida “normal”, de la existencia gris de las mayorías sociales que permanecen anónimas. A partir de una mirada nostálgica sobre los años 70, la biopic toma el nombre propio de Robledo Puch y algunas circunstancias históricas para darle identidad a una figura formada, sobre todo, de la sustancia de lo mítico.
Differential expression of collagen type I alpha 1 chain in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding collagen type I alpha 1 chain, COL1A1, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. COL1A1 expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. COL1A1 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of COL1A1 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. COL1A1 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Published: July 2021

BackgroundFunctional connectivity measures have garnered interest as possible biomarkers of psychiatric disorders including borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, small sample sizes and lack of within-study replications have led to divergent findings with no clear spatial foci. Therefore, we adopted an exploratory full-brain approach in the current study to evaluate which combinations of regions are most consistently predictive of BPD diagnosis.MethodsWe studied fMRI resting state functional connectivity in matched subsamples of 116 BPD and 72 control individuals defined by three grouping strategies: 1) referral diagnosis, 2) clinical diagnostic interview excluding patients no longer filling diagnostic criteria or controls scoring above threshold in a screening questionnaire and 3) self-reported symptom severity. We predicted BPD status using classifiers with repeated cross-validation based on multiscale functional connectivity within and between regions of interest (ROIs) covering the whole brain— global ROI-based network, seed-based ROI-connectivity, functional consistency and voxel-to-voxel connectivity within and between ROIs. Finally, we evaluated the generalizability of the classification in the left-out portion of non-matched data.ResultsFull-brain connectivity allowed successful classification (~70%) of BPD patients vs. control individuals in matched inner cross-validation. The classification remained significant when applied to unmatched out-of-sample data, but accuracies were lower (~61–70%) than in fully matched samples. The over-estimation of inner cross-validation accuracy was exacerbated by univariate regression of nuisance variables, particularly in smaller samples. Highest seed-based accuracies were in a similar range to global accuracies (~70–75%), but spatially more specific. In the seed-based classification, the regions implicated most often included midline, temporal and somatomotor regions. Highest accuracies were achieved with the clinical interview followed by referral diagnosis group definition. Self-report results remained at chance level. The accuracies were affected by an interaction of medications and global signal and univariate nuisance regression. Pairwise correlations, local consistencies and fine-scale connectivity matrices were not significantly predictive of BPD after multiple comparison corrections, but weak local effects coincided with the most discriminative ROIs in the classification. ConclusionsOur multivariate results indicate that complex global functional connectivity differences are moderately predictive of BPD despite heterogeneity of the patient population. However, univariate nuisance regression applied to full cross-validation dataset can cause inflation of accuracies compared with left-out test data.
Implicit and Explicit Prejudice Are Related to Explicit Support for Politicians Who are Conservative, but not White or Male, Mostly Because They Promote Inequality
Authors: Bai Hui
Published: July 2021

Recent studies show that explicit prejudice is related to explicit support for conservative and opposition for liberal politicians, regardless of their demographics such as race and gender. However, it remains unclear how prejudice is associated with evaluation of candidates on the implicit domain. Furthermore, prior theories assume that these associations exist because of the politicians’ preferences for inequality and status quo, but these assumptions have never been empirically tested. Four pre-registered experiments clarify that politicians’ ideology, not race or gender, determines the association between prejudice and explicit evaluation of politicians, regardless of whether prejudice is measured explicitly or implicitly. These preferences are primarily driven by citizens’ preferences for politicians who support inequality, and to a lesser extent, preferences for those who support the status quo. Together, these findings clarify the political consequences of racism and sexism and further our understanding of the psychological function of prejudice.
Conceptions of National Identity and Opposition to Bicultural Policies in New Zealand: A Comparison of Majority and Minority Perspectives
Authors: Devos Thierry , Yogeeswaran Kumar , Milojev Petar , Sibley Chris G
Published: July 2021

Using a nationally representative sample, the present research tested whether conceptions of national identity differentially predicted attitudes toward bicultural policies among New Zealanders of European, Māori, Asian, and Pacific descent. A series of multi-group structural equation models revealed that among members of the majority group and all minority groups, endorsement of a civic conception of national identity (i.e., respecting political institutions and laws) was related to opposition to resource policies, but such a relationship was especially strong among the majority group. By contrast, endorsement of an ethnic conception of national identity (i.e., having Māori or European ancestry) was related to support for resource and symbolic policies among minority group members, but to opposition to the same policies among the majority group. The present work documents that belonging to a majority vs. minority group moderates the relations between conceptions of national identity (civic vs. ethnic) and support or opposition to specific bicultural policies. In addition, some elements of civic conceptions of national identity may legitimize inequalities rather than reduce them.
The Case Of Tito And Soma Mukhopadhyay: Factitious Heroism By Proxy, Factitious Heroism, And Revealing The Deception Thereof For The Future Of Autism Treatment
Authors: Howitt Dan
Published: July 2021

| None of the innumerable millions of people since 2000 who have observed the profoundly autistic man Tito Mukhopadhyay and his mother Soma Mukhopadhyay on CNN, PBS, BBC, Good Morning America, and Closer To Truth, and none of the array of scientists, physicians, autism organizations, and journalists who studied them, observed the brilliant, multifaceted, communicative fraud that Soma engages in with Tito. | Since Tito was eleven years old in 2000, to the present, he has been presented by Soma on the television programs BBC, CNN, PBS, Closer To Truth, and Good Morning America, and via other forms of media and literature, as being able to write-communicate and type-communicate not only normally, but at an advanced level, and on his own accord – that is, from an independent content of his mind – with the assistance of the Facilitated Communication method that she treats him with, which she refers to as the “Rapid Prompting Method”.| In this article, I provide my visual observations and auditory observations of the interactions of Tito and Soma that have not been observed from 2000 to the present by innumerable millions of people, including the vast array of scientists, physicians, journalists, autism organization leaders, and others, who studied them. I concurrently adduce various novel concepts in order to characterize my observations.| My observations, and concurrent conceptualization, demonstrate the presence of what I refer to as “Factitious Heroism By Proxy”, and Factitious Heroism.| For context: (a) I demonstrated that none of the innumerable millions of people who observed the television presentations of profoundly autistic woman Carly Fleischmann between 2008-2018 observed the brilliant communicative fraud that her speech-therapist Howard Dalal engaged in with her; (b) I uncovered an array of instances of brilliant conceptual fraud of fundamental mathematics and fundamental physics; and (c) I observed a fundamental feature of the universe that has not been observed by humanity to the present.
Temporal Fluctuations in Context Ethnic Diversity Over Three Decades Predict Implicit National Inclusion of Asian Americans
Authors: Devos Thierry , Sadler Melody , Perry David Toyosaburo , Yogeeswaran Kumar
Published: July 2021

The present research examined whether temporal fluctuations in context ethnic diversity account for current levels of implicit ethnic-American associations. Temporal fluctuations in ethnic diversity at the metropolitan level were assessed using data from four decennial U.S. censuses (1980-2010) and distinguishing three dimensions of context ethnic diversity (minority representation, variety, and integration). Project Implicit data (2011-2017) indexed the extent to which American identity was implicitly associated with European Americans over Asian Americans (i.e., American = White associations). Data were analyzed using multilevel modeling (N = 152,011, nested within 226 metropolitan areas). Steeper increases in the proportion of Asian Americans were related to weaker implicit (but stronger explicit) American = White associations. Increases in ethnic integration accounted for stronger implicit American = White associations when integration fluctuations reflected accelerating rather than decelerating trends. These results suggest that current levels of implicit ethnic-national associations are linked to complex patterns of ethnic diversity fluctuations.
Understanding the Error in Psychopathology: Notable Intraindividual Differences in Neural Variability of Performance Monitoring
Authors: Clayson Peter E , Rocha Harold A , Baldwin Scott , Rast Philippe , Larson Michael J.
Published: July 2021

Background: Abnormal performance monitoring is a possible transdiagnostic marker common across psychopathology. Most research on neural indices of performance monitoring, including the error-related negativity (ERN), has examined group and interindividual (between-person) differences in mean/average scores. Intraindividual (within-person) variability in neural activity captures the capacity to dynamically adjust from moment to moment, and excessive neural variability appears maladaptive. Intraindividual variability in ERN represents a unique and largely unexplored dimension that might impact functioning. We tested whether psychopathology group differences (major depressive disorder [MDD], generalized anxiety disorder [GAD], obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD]) or corresponding psychiatric symptoms account for intraindividual variability in single-trial ERN scores. Methods: ERN was recorded in 51 participants with MDD, 44 participants with GAD, 31 participants with OCD, and 56 psychiatrically-healthy control participants. Multilevel location-scale models were used to simultaneously examine interindividual and intraindividual differences in ERN amplitude. Results: Analyses indicated considerable intraindividual variability in ERN that was common across all groups. However, we did not find strong evidence to support clinical differences in ERN when examining traditional diagnostic categories or relationships with transdiagnostic symptoms. Conclusions: These findings point to important methodological implications for studies of performance monitoring in healthy and clinical populations—the common assumption of fixed intraindividual variability (i.e., residual variance) is inappropriate for ERN studies in clinical or healthy populations. Implementation of multilevel location-scale models in future research can leverage between-person differences in intraindividual variability in performance monitoring to gain a rich understanding of the trial-to-trial dynamics of performance monitoring.
Failure to replicate moral licensing and moral cleansing in an online experiment
Authors: Rotella Amanda Modesta , Barclay Pat
Published: July 2021

Moral licensing occurs when someone who initially behaved morally or cooperatively, later behaves less morally, as if they had a “license” to act badly. On the flipside, moral cleansing occurs when someone first behaves immorally, which prompts them to later behaves more morally. To-date, few studies have investigated individual differences in the moral licensing and cleansing effects. This paper bridges this gap by investigating how cooperative preferences, as measured by social value orientation (SVO), influence engagement in these effects. We hypothesized that prosocial participants would be less likely to license, but more likely to cleanse. Contrary to predictions, we did not replicate the moral licensing or moral cleansing effects, and cooperative preferences did not influence engagement in the effect. However, checks suggest that our manipulations were successful. We postulate that licensing and cleansing effects are unlikely to be elicited online.
Thomas Hobbes: a Philosopher of War or Peace?
Authors: Thivet Delphine
Published: July 2021

Along with Machiavelli, Hobbes is usually regarded as the pre-eminent representative of the ‘power-politics’ school of classical realism. He is frequently quoted for his pessimistic depiction of the state of nature that he so famously described as a brutal and anarchic arena in which each individual seeks his own advantage to the detriment of all other individuals, in a perpetual struggle for power. As reflective of this, political realism is sometimes even named the ‘Hobbesian tradition’. Yet there is reason to question whether the standard characterization of realism as a form of moral scepticism which ‘resists the application of morality to war’ provides an accurate description of Hobbes’s political philosophy. In this essay I examine Hobbes’s conception of war, in order to show how, in some fundamental respects, it deviates from this ‘realism’.

Pierwsza wśród nierównych – przypadek Anki Topić
Authors: Čilić Đurđica
Published: July 2021

During four decades of Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina, economic, social and cultural circumstances had improved, as well as the position of women, who started participating in public life as educational workers, translators and writers. In this article, special attention is drawn to Anka Topić, first Bosnian-Herzegovinian women poet, who in 1909 published an individual collection of poems Lost Star (Izgubljena zvijezda). The analysis focuses on her transformation from a poet altruistically celebrating the transnational brotherhood and unity of all peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the romantic folklore spirit, to a tribune writing occasional poems to Croatian notables in Bosnia and Herzegovina and propagating the idea of a strictly Croatian Bosnia in the realms of the Monarchy.

In the opinion of the author, the implementation of the Directive, which will replace the currently binding Council Directive 2010/18/EU implementing the revised Framework Agreement on parental leave, should consist primarily in the implementation of those of its provisions which extend the existing parental leave rights of employees or introduce new rights. In essential part, this it is possible by amending certain provisions of the Labour Code Act.
Opinia prawna w sprawie poselskiego projektu ustawy o zasadach wykonywania orzeczeń Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka
Authors: Chybalski Piotr
Published: July 2021

In the opinion of the author certain provisions of the proposed bill raise constitutional doubts or may cause constitutional reservations, inter alia, in the light of the principle of specificity of law, the principle of separation of powers, the scope of the subject matter of parliamentary rules of regulation. Furthermore, insofar as the bill relates to the payment of compensation and redress, it appears to be burdened with a constitutional defect of the nature of the so-called legislative omission. The author of the opinion points out that the bill also lacks a number of solutions concerning the payment of compensation and redress.
Ocena skutków prawnych regulacji zawartej w rządowym projekcie ustawy o zmianie ustawy – Kodeks postępowania cywilnego oraz niektórych innych ustaw (druk sejmowy nr 899)
Authors: Tomaszewska Agnieszka
Published: July 2021

According to the author, creating the possibility of selling real estate by means of an electronic auction should be considered advisable and the direction of the adopted solutions should be generally assessed positively. Some of the proposed solutions need to be clarified or re-examined. Accepting the necessity of holding “remote” hearings and public sessions in a “distant” form, particularly during the state of epidemic danger or the state of epidemics, seems to be a correct solution. On the other hand the proposed regulations regarding the possibility of holding a closed hearing, are questionable. Changes concerning the possibility of communicating with the court by electronic means should, in principle, be considered desirable. However, the form of the proposed solutions – especially concerning electronic delivery – raises reservations.

The French plays featured during the festival are discussed, along with the artists involved from the initiation of the French component in 1996 to its end in 2001. Furthermore, the response to and reviews of certain plays are also considered.

A few years after the launch of the Toronto-based Festival, in 1996, SummerWorks decided to incorporate a French-language component, allowing francophone artists to showcase their talent. Marie-Josée Lefebvre was the key contributor to this initiative and became the coordinator from 1996 to 1998, leading several French plays to the stage. Her commendable work and effort for this component of the festival supported the francophone community in Toronto and contributed some outstanding pieces to the festival. Lefebvre’s play Rendez-vous au Tournesol was one of the first French plays presented at the festival. The next two years included three French-language plays each, featuring the work of artists such as Gabrielle Kemeny, Louise Nolan, and Denise Blinn, among many others. SummerWorks offered a variety of works involving the French language, including fully French plays such as Calice des Femmes, bilingual (French-English) plays such as L’amant/The Lover and Lament of la Sainte Catherine, and even a trilingual production called Don Jua… Etcetera. After 1998, fewer French works were presented at SummerWorks. Two plays in total were staged from 1998 to 2001. As the festival switched to a juried platform, the focus shifted away from the French-language component. However, under the direction of Laura Nanni, in 2016, the inclusion of French works was slowly reintroduced into the festival.

It’s time for a new vision of Canadian culture, and the COVID-19 pandemic provides a major opportunity to embark on this project. A new Massey Commission could establish a different paradigm for arts and culture, one that could be valued as an inherent good, similar to education and health care, and dramatically increase access and sustainability in the process.
Funding Structures and State Capacity for School Improvement under the Every Student Succeeds Act: Case Studies of Five States
Authors: Karcher Hailey , Knight David S.
Published: July 2021

Under the Every Student Succeeds Act, the federal government allocates 7% of Title I funds, about $1 billion per year, for school improvement. States have substantial autonomy in allocating these funds, including which schools are identified for federal school improvement, what improvement strategies are used, and whether external intermediaries are involved. A growing area of research explores the private, often for-profit school improvement industry, but few studies track the finance and policy structures that funnel public funds to external K–12 intermediaries. In this study, we draw on document analysis and interview data to explore school improvement practices and finance policies in five case study states. We find that states use varied methods for identifying schools for improvement, and also vary in the extent to which they provide local autonomy to school districts. Some states, such as Texas and Tennessee, incentivize schools to adopt particular strategies or encourage partnering with an external intermediary. Other states, such as California and New York, provide more state-led school improvement strategies through regional offices and give districts greater local autonomy. Findings point to possible benefits of local autonomy, while highlighting potential challenges associated with unregulated market-based reforms in education.

LAY SUMMARY

Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Service Members (SMs) experience mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) which can affect cognitive functioning. Adequate cognitive functioning is needed to perform military duties safely and function in all aspects of life. A standardized process that includes cognitive screen/assessment within an mTBI rehabilitation strategy is not widely utilized within Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS). A qualitative thematic analysis nested within an implementation science approach was used to explore the experiences of 17 CFHS health care professionals who perform cognitive screens/assessments. Perceived facilitators, barriers, and recommendations for improving cognitive assessment practices for injured CAF-SMs were identified within five themes. Development and implementation of cognitive screen/assessment policies and protocols will enable CFHS to best assess and treat cognitive dysfunction among CAF-SMs.

This article analyzes the situation of cross-cultural competencies in students of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Católica del Norte in Chile. For the above, a complementary mixed methodology was applied. During the qualitative stage, 3 focus groups, 10 participants each one, were carried out, in addition to 8 semi-structured interviews. In the quantitative stage, the scale of cross-cultural competencies in health was applied to 130 students from the Faculty. Results show Â Â Â Â Â that students have a medium to high competence for the dimensions of cross-cultural cognitive skills, cross-cultural affective skills and behavioral skills to establish cross-cultural communication and low competence to link professional training to cultural diversity. The foregoing shows that there are consolidated basal competencies for the complete development of cross-cultural competence through future systematic training processes in the context of their academic studies
Facts about adolescents from the Demographic and Health Survey—Statistical tables for program planning: Côte d'Ivoire 1994
Authors:   Population Council
Published: July 2021

The Population Council initiated its work on adolescents in the mid-1990s. At that time, those advocating greater attention to adolescent issues were concerned about adolescent fertility—particularly outside of marriage—and adolescent “risk-taking” behavior. As an international scientific organization with its mandate centered around the needs of developing countries, the Council sought a more nuanced and context-specific understanding of the problems confronting adolescents in the developing world. In working with colleagues inside and outside the Council, it became clear that information on adolescents, and the way data are organized, were limiting the ability to understand the diversity of their experiences or to develop programs to address that diversity. In the absence of data, many adolescent policies were implicitly based on the premise that the lives of adolescents in developing countries were like those of adolescents in Western countries. In fact, significant numbers of young people in the West do not fit this description, and even larger groups within the developing countries. The Council created tables to more clearly describe the diversity of the adolescent experience by drawing on Côte d'Ivoire Demographic and Health Survey data. The tables, presented in this report, are intended to be used as a basis for developing programs.

Background: Adequate nutrition plays an important roles for children on school age to developed and maintain their growth and health. Many factors could affect the nutritional status of school children, one of them is the school location.Objectives: To analysis the correlation between school location with nutritional status of elementary school students.Method: The research design used was a cross-sectional design. 80 subjects were observed from two different schools namely SDN 1 Cikelet Garut (Urban) and SDN Pesanggrahan 02 Pagi Jakarta Selatan (Rural). The relationship of school location and gender with nutritional status were analyzed using Chi Square. Independent Sample T-test used to analyze nutritional status based on different locations.Result: In rural there are 25% of children with over nutritional status (weight/age). There are still stunted child both in urban (7.50%) and rural (10%), but based on weight/height nutritional status, almost all subjects in both urban (92.50%) and rural (97.50%) in obese category. Chi Square analysis showed that the school location was significantly related (P 0.05) only with the weight/age nutritional status. Gender is significantly related to height/age nutritional status. The majority of boys (15,4%) are shorter than girls (2,4%). The results of the Independent Sample T-test based on location, showed that the nutritional status of subjects in urban was significantly different (P0.05) from the nutritional status of subjects in rural. In line with this, based in gender there is significantly different (P0.05) in nutritional status between boy and girl.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that differences in school locations are related to the nutritional status of elementary school students.
