Authors: Stuart Jones , Andrew Richards , Cho Youngsang
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine the feelings and perceptions of English teachers at Korean universities towards using an LMS to teach English classes during the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Data were collected from 22 teachers working at 9 different universities in the greater Seoul area. A survey questionnaire consisting of a combination of multiple choice, Likert scale and opened ended questions was used as the primary data collection method. In addition, if consent was given, survey participants were contacted via e-mail or Zoom to discuss responses in greater detail. Data analysis was done using general qualitative analysis and discussed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study show despite the confusion caused by the pandemic, English teachers at Korean universities were able to adapt quickly to using an LMS as their main teaching interface and were generally satisfied with the LMS they used. In addition, any training received on how to operate the LMS was found to be helpful although more training in specific areas appears to be desired. Specific functions provided by LMSs for language teaching were also deemed to be important. Administrational and educational implications of these findings as well as limitations are also discussed.

¿Casa propia? La autonomía económica de las mujeres en Ecuador
Authors: Deere Carmen Diana
Published: July 2021

Este libro –un estudio concebido por cinco economistas feministas de Ghana, India y Estados Unidos– es una gran aportación a los más importantes temas de economía y género. Con la colaboración de investigadoras de Ecuador, Ghana e India nos entrega nuevos conocimientos sobre la distribución de la riqueza, las desigualdades de género, el poder de negociación de las mujeres y mucho más. Contiene innovaciones metodológicas y teóricas, y trata de responder a preguntas básicas sobre los derechos de propiedad y la distribución de la riqueza, junto con sus efectos sobre la dinámica familiar y el empoderamiento de las mujeres. Es una valiosa contribución al estudio sobre la importancia de la propiedad de la vivienda, de la tierra y de otros bienes, como los financieros, y de su efecto sobre las diversas desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres. Se trata de una colección de investigaciones, teóricamente muy interesantes y empíricamente rigurosas, que incluye capítulos comparativos entre los tres países y otros sobre el caso específico de Ecuador. Ofrece, por ejemplo, una discusión sobre “las rutas de género” para la acumulación de activos mediante los sistemas de herencia y a través de los mercados, utilizando los ahorros y los créditos. Muy interesante es el capítulo 4 sobre la contribución de la emigración internacional ecuatoriana a la adquisición de bienes y el papel de las mujeres, tanto en el envío como en la recepción de las remesas. Deja en claro cómo las migrantes pueden acumular activos, físicos y financieros, a la par de los hombres, un indicador clave en el estudio de la desigualdad de género.
Mapeando o surgimento da Política Nacional de Atenção à Saúde dos Povos Indígenas no Brasil
Authors: Santos Pollyanna dos Santos , Menicucci Telma Maria Gonçalves
Published: July 2021

Este artigo é um estudo de caso sobre a construção da Política Nacional de Atenção à Saúde dos Povos Indígenas (PNASPI), em que se reconstitui processos causais e realiza inferências descritivas concernentes à entrada da saúde indígena na agenda governamental como política pública do Estado brasileiro. Os modelos teóricos-analíticos que embasaram este artigo são o Modelo de Múltiplos Fluxos, de John W. Kingdon, e o Modelo do Equilíbrio Pontuado, desenvolvido por James L. True, Bryan D. Jones e Frank R. Baumgartner. A pesquisa que lhe deu origem foi empreendida por meio da análise documental, bibliográfica e de entrevistas. São resultados deste artigo a descrição do processo pelo qual a saúde dos povos indígenas tornou-se uma política pública, a identificação das instituições e dos atores envolvidos, a construção da imagem da política de saúde diferenciada aos povos indígenas bem como as condições políticas, o contexto histórico e o “clima” nacional predominantes. Conclui-se que a constituição da PNASPI é decorrente da participação efetiva dos povos indígenas nos conselhos e conferências de saúde e nas diferentes formas de mobilizações reivindicatórias. Além disso, as mudanças institucionais ora têm sido no sentido de dar concretude à proposta de política diferenciada para os indígenas ora, no sentido oposto, o de promover a integração dos povos ao restante da sociedade brasileira, ignorando a multiculturalidade brasileira.
Investigating the Memorization of the Quran Using the Grounded Theory Methodology
Authors: Parveen Nikhat
Published: July 2021

Grounded theory methodology was utilized to investigate the process of memorization of the Quran in India from a psychological perspective as it occurs in the absence of semantic comprehension of the Arabic language. Data collection methods included participant observation in a seminary, semi-structured interviews with students and teachers of memorization, study of documents employed during the learning process, and practical demonstrations. Sample comprised of thirteen individuals including students and teachers. Data coding and analyses resulted in a large number of open codes, and eleven axial code categories besides a selective code that gave a comprehensive summation of the research study and facilitated in the generation of a substantive theory of memorization of the Quran in India. Different methods of data display were construction of matrices and tables, diagrammatic representation of axial codes to depict the main theme, case summaries, in-vivo quotes of the subjects, and summations of practical demonstrations. The research employed five methods of implementing evaluative criteria including: triangulation, audit trail, reflexivity, prolonged engagement and persistent observation, and rich, thick description to ensure the credibility of the data, research process, and research outcomes which was to generate a comprehensive understanding of memorization as a unique learning paradigm.
El bloque de constitucionalidad: la expansión de la Constitución dogmática
Authors: Cordón Aguilar Julio César
Published: July 2021

El artículo 46 de la Constitución guatemalteca reconoció la preeminencia del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos sobre el derecho nacional. La Corte de Constitucionalidad, como intérprete máximo de la Constitución, se ha pronunciado sobre el contenido y alcances del citado precepto. En su jurisprudencia, la Corte ha sostenido dos criterios en torno al artículo 46 constitucional. En una primera época, que corresponde al periodo 1989-2011, el criterio imperante estuvo dominado por el concepto de jerarquía normativa, de forma que se tornaría invariable cuestionar siquiera el carácter supremo de la Constitución. Tal perspectiva, de base formalista, no logró evidenciar el sentido último del precepto bajo interpretación, en tanto puso el énfasis en la jerarquización de las normas, obviando la efectividad y tutela de los derechos humanos. La innovación jurisprudencial vendría en 2011 mediante la aplicación de la figura del bloque de constitucionalidad, de origen francés, con el que toda la discusión se enfocó en el interés por garantizar la máxima tutela de los derechos humanos, entendiendo que este habría sido el verdadero sentido del precepto constitucional. El criterio transformó la perspectiva de jerarquía por la de complementariedad, proveyendo una tutela amplia y expansiva de los derechos.

A Estratégia de Saúde da Família mantem-se próxima à comunidade, valorizado seus contextos socioculturais e econômicos e, assim, agir através da prevenção, promoção e vigilância em saúde. Nesse viés, sendo as doenças infecciosas comunitárias uma relevante problemática para a saúde pública que dispõe-se, como principal ferramenta de combate, a prevenção da contaminação, o profissional da saúde, como cuidador e educador, tem um papel essencial nesse caráter preventivo do sistema. Desse modo, é fundamental a análise da formação desses profissionais, sejam eles médicos, enfermeiros ou odontólogos.  Por meio do estudo descritivo de um questionário aplicado para estudantes de um centro universitário privado, caracterizou-se a avaliação, de acordo com os mesmos, do ensino sobre o controle de infecções comunitárias na ESF e também o conhecimento sobre formas de infecção e prevenção da infecção comunitária. Observou-se que, mesmo o assunto sendo abordado em algumas disciplinas, faz-se necessário maior aprofundamento, principalmente visando o preenchimento da lacuna entre teórico e prático na clínica.

Filosofía de las matemáticas como apoyo al aprendizaje de los números
Authors: Sanic Maguirre Rafael Rubén , Villela Cervantes Claudia Esmeralda Marisol
Published: July 2021

El problema que existe en educación media en Guatemala en los últimos tres años es el bajo porcentaje de estudiantes que aprobaron Matemática según las evaluaciones realizadas por el Ministerio de Educación en 2017 el 14.50% en 2018 14.89% y 2019 fue 13.56%. Existen diversas causas por las cuales los estudiantes no aprenden matemática. Se considera efectivo que los docentes utilicen la reflexión filosófica de la matemática como una metodología que motive a los estudiantes a desear aprender matemática. El objetivo del artículo es dar respuesta a las dos preguntas ¿es efectiva la metodología de reflexión filosófica en el aprendizaje de la matemática? ¿Cómo aplicaron la matemática los hombres de ciencia? La metodología que se utilizó en el estudio corresponde a la racionalista, empírica y a priori, a través de la investigación documental sobre Descartes, quien, con su creación de geometría analítica, descubrió el sistema de coordenadas, hasta la fecha es utilizada en el posicionamiento por satélite. Arquímedes, con sus inventos geométricos, utilizados en Hidráulica, Newton inventor del cálculo diferencial, matemáticas que le sirvieron para demostrar los principios de la física clásica y finalmente Gauss, quien dedicó su vida al estudio del álgebra y estadística, sus conocimientos estadísticos se aplican en la actualidad en todas las disciplinas en todo el mundo.

Published: July 2021

This paper empirically examined the effect of public expenditure on inflation in Nigeria in Nigeria from 1981 to 2018. The study adopts descriptive statistics, Co-integration and Error Correction Mechanism techniques for the analysis. The data for the empirical analysis were sourced from secondary sources like CBN Statistical Bulletin. The results of analysis indicated that a long run relationship exists among the variables. Furthermore, the paper revealed that government expenditure on transport and communication (XTCM) has a positive but insignificant relationship with inflation (CPI) at 5 percent level; government expenditure on defense (XDFS) is positive and an insignificant effect on inflation (CPI) in Nigeria; government expenditure on agriculture (XAGR) is negative and an insignificant effect on inflation (CPI) in Nigeria; government expenditure on education (XEDU) is positive and an insignificant effect on inflation (CPI) in Nigeria and government expenditure on health (XHLT) is negative and an insignificant effect on inflation (CPI) in Nigeria. Based on the above findings, the paper recommends as follows: Government should be effective in channeling public funds to productive economic activities, which will enhance price stability in Nigeria. Also, government consumption spending should be well coordinated by all arms of government to prevent “Crowd out” effect on government investment.

De distributie van kaliumjodidetabletten: hoe goed is België voorbereid op een nucleair incident?
Authors: VINDEVOGEL H. , JANS D. , PIETERS L. , DE LOOF H.
Published: July 2021

The distribution of potassium iodide tablets: is Belgium prepared for a nuclear incident?

Potassium iodide tablets are protective in case of a nuclear accident with the release of radioactive iodine. After the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, there was an increased incidence of thyroid cancer in the affected areas. Disaster readiness was deficient, and the population was not aware of the possible protective measures. In Belgium, these potassium iodide tablets are freely available in any public pharmacy upon simply showing one’s identity card. We conducted a survey among the general population, pharmacists and school board members, showing that in Belgium too there is a need for more information. In addition, the survey revealed that in Belgium the distribution to the target groups should be improved. If a nuclear disaster occurs, it goes without saying that a proper organization of protective measures is mandatory. Unfortunately, in Belgium, so many years after Chernobyl, the necessary preparations for this have not yet been completed, while there are 5 nuclear sites within its borders. If the full potential of the potassium iodide tablets is to be exploited, a much better overall approach is urgently needed.

Beyond one size fits all: Predicting Binge and Social Drinking Behavior
Authors: Bhochhibhoya Amir , Branscum Paul
Published: July 2021

Abstract: The “one-size-fits-all” approach to design interventions to reduce drinking behaviors appears to be problematic since there are significant differences in motives and attitudes for binge drinkers compared to social drinkers. The purpose of the study was to identify psychosocial determinants of drinking behaviors among drinkers based on the Reasoned Action Approach. Attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control predicted 44.5% variance for behavioral intentions ‘to stop binge drinking’ for binge drinkers, and 46.5% variance for behavioral intentions ‘to continue not to binge drink’ for social drinkers.   This study highlighted the need for tailoring interventions based on drinking status

TRANSLATION HISTORY FROM A GENERAL LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE: RESEARCH THE CONCEPTUAL DEVICE AND TRANSFORMATION MECHANISMS
Authors: ALAHYANE Latifa Mohamed
Published: July 2021

Translation has been classified into the humanities since its inception. Its establishment as a science has a special theory that has gone through many stages. This required intellectual innovation that began with extensive practice, and later moved to theorizing. The theorists of the 1950s sought to formulate proposals that were characterized by their important methodology and their focus on key and specific linguistics issues, and stressed the need to prove that translation issues and problems belong the field of linguistics. In this way, translation has gained its linguistics and pedagogical dimensions. Thus it has become possible to describe translations departing from the source and target languages. Additionally, it has become possible teaching translation as the process of moving from one language to another to the extent that some researchers, after the expansion of translation studies, started considering it a pure applied linguistics practice. In this study, I elaborate the contribution of linguistics in theorizing translation by tracking the work of a group of linguists, including Nida in his project of theorizing the science of translation, Vinay and Darbelnet through his model of translation transformations, Catford in his approach to translation transformations within the framework of applied linguistics, Roman Jacobson regarding his proposals in the semiotics approaches, and George Monan in the linguistic theory approach to translation, and Fedorov in his contribution to the modern Theory of Translation...The objectives of this are to monitor the nature of the interest of these linguistics researchers and the specific background knowledge of each one of them, the nature of the conceptual devices and the analysis and classification mechanisms surrounding the problems faced by translators, particularly the difficulties of analyzing the source text and reformulating the target text through an awareness of the difference between languages.

Definindo o republicanismo: abordagens, dificuldades e síntese
Authors: Falcão Luís Alves
Published: July 2021

O artigo apresenta uma síntese das diferentes e recentes definições do republicanismo. Para isso, empreende-se uma avaliação crítica dos diversos modos como essas definições são empregadas e, assim, debatem-se os anteparos do republicanismo em relação a tradições que se lhe opõe, a embocaduras tautológicas e a extrapolações indevidas. Num segundo momento, argumenta-se que a suposta exceção francesa deve ser lida de modo crítico e que seus pontos de contato com o universo anglo-saxão não são incomuns. Na sequência, evidencia-se a estratégia de definição por um ângulo histórico e são debatidas as implicações. Por fim, o artigo argumenta que as definições excessivamente normativas e que dialogam explicitamente com a teoria política contemporânea incorrem em contradições históricas. Propõe-se, então, uma síntese que congrega conceito e contexto.

Accidents owing to potholes have become an alarming problem in today‘s life. The first step to solve this problem requires, designing a device embedded in the vehicle which can continuously scan the road surface for identifying potholes, alerting the driver in time, and enable the driver to avoid the pothole. The importance of the road infrastructure for society could be compared with the importance of blood vessels for humans. The major problems in developing countries are the maintenance of roads. To ensure road surface quality it should be monitored continuously and repaired as necessary. The optimal distribution of resources for road repairs is possible providing the availability of comprehensive and objective real-time data about the state of the roads.

Emotion Detection and Opinion Mining from Student Comments for Teaching Innovation Assessment
Authors: Tzacheva Angelina , Easwaran Akshaya
Published: July 2021

Students can provide their opinions, comments, or suggestions about a course, course instructor, study environment, and available resources using the course evaluation at the end of every semester. This helps the course professors and other college authorities make appropriate changes or continue a particular approach to get the best experience in classrooms. These course evaluations are in both quantitative and qualitative forms. In quantitative feedback the evaluation is performed in terms of measurable outcomes and include a Likert-type scale to capture the level of agreement and disagreement. In qualitative feedback the students can convey their feelings, opinions or suggestions about the course, the course instructor, or their overall thoughts/comments towards the course. The qualitative feedbacks provide freedom for the students to express their honest thoughts on a course. The data collected in the qualitative form provides deeper insight into a student’s emotional state. In this work we focus on mining the qualitative student feedbacks and analyzing the student sentiments. We also analyze the efficiency of Light Weight teams and Flipped Classroom approach which are Active Learning methods. Results show that the implementation of these Active Learning methods is linked with increased positivity in student emotions.
Non-enzymatic Glucose Sensor Based on CuO Nanoplates
Authors: Chu Thi Xuan
Published: July 2021

We have successfully fabricated an electrochemical sensor for non-enzymatic glucose measurement based on copper oxide (CuO) nanoplates. CuO nanoplates were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method at 180 oC for 23 h without using any surfactants. Filed-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize morphologies and crystal structures of synthesized CuO nanoplates. A mixture of CuO nanoplates and polytetrafluoroethylene with mass ratio 0.15:1 was compressed at 9800 kPa onto platinum (Pt) to form Pt/CuO disk and it has been used as a working electrode for glucose measurement following non-enzymatic approach. Glucose concentration was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry in 0.1M NaOH solution. This enzyme-free electrochemical method was able to detect glucose with a concentration as low as 0.1 mM. These results show that CuO nanoplates are a promising candidate for non-enzymatic glucose detection.

Published: July 2021

The article presents the results of studies on the assessment of heavy metal pollution of soils and epiphytes in of the city of Izhevsk. Objects of research: soils of near-trunk circles of black poplar (Populus nigra L.) and epiphytic moss of Schreber's pleurotium (Pleurozium schreberi (Willd. Ex Brid.) Mitt.). To assess the pollution, the magnetic susceptibility of soils and mosses was determined, as well as the average total content of heavy metals in the samples under study. The relationship between the content of heavy metals and the magnetic susceptibility of soils and epiphytes has been determined. A correlation was revealed between the total content of Zn, Cr, Fe, V in soils and in mosses, which indicates air pollution of soils.

Abstract. Air pollution harms human health and the environment. Several regulatory efforts and different actions have been taken in the last decades by authorities. Air quality trend analysis represents a valid tool in assessing
the impact of these actions taken both at national and local levels. This
paper presents for the first time the capability of the Italian national
chemical transport model, AMS-MINNI, in capturing the observed concentration
trends of three air pollutants – NO2, inhalable particles having
diameter less than 10 µm (PM10), and O3 – in Italy over the
period 2003–2010. We firstly analyse the model performance finding it in
line with the state of the art of regional air quality modelling. The
modelled trends result in a general significant downward trend for the three
pollutants and, in comparison with observations, the values of the simulated
trends were of a similar magnitude for NO2 (in the range −3.0 to −0.5 µg m−3 yr−1), while a smaller range of trends was found than those observed for PM10 (−1.5 to −0.5 µg m−3 yr−1) and O3 maximum daily 8 h average concentration (−2.0 to −0.5 µg m−3 yr−1). As a general result, we find good agreement between
modelled and observed trends; moreover, the model provides a greater spatial coverage and statistical significance of pollutant concentration trends with
respect to observations, in particular for NO2. We also conduct a
qualitative attempt to correlate the temporal concentration trends to
meteorological and emission variability. Since no clear tendency in yearly
meteorological anomalies (temperature, precipitation, geopotential height)
was observed for the period investigated, we focus the discussion of
concentration trends on emission variations. We point out that, due to the
complex links between precursor emissions and air pollutant concentrations,
emission reductions do not always result in a corresponding decrease in
atmospheric concentrations, especially for those pollutants that are formed
in the atmosphere such as O3 and the major fraction of PM10. These
complex phenomena are still uncertain and their understanding is of the
utmost importance in planning future policies for reducing air pollution and its impacts on health and ecosystems.
Effects of clear-fell harvesting on soil CO2, CH4, and N2O fluxes in an upland Sitka spruce stand in England

Abstract. The effect of clear-fell harvesting on soil greenhouse gas
(GHG) fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous
oxide (N2O) was assessed in a Sitka spruce forest growing on a peaty
gley organo-mineral soil in northern England. Fluxes from the soil and
litter layer were measured monthly by the closed chamber method and gas
chromatography over 4 years in two mature stands, with one area harvested
after the first year. Concurrent measurements of soil temperature and
moisture helped to elucidate reasons for the changes in fluxes. In the 3 years after felling, there was a significant increase in the soil
temperature, particularly between June and November (3 to 5 ∘C higher),
and in soil moisture, which was 62 % higher in the felled area, and these
had pronounced effects on the GHG balance in addition to the removal of the
trees and their carbon input to the soil. Annual soil CO2 effluxes
reduced to almost a third in the first year after felling (a drop from 24.0
to 8.9 t CO2 ha−1 yr−1) and half in the second and third year
(mean 11.8 t CO2 ha−1 yr−1) compared to before felling, while
those from the unfelled area were little changed. Annual effluxes of
N2O more than doubled in the first two years (from 1.0 to 2.3 and 2.5 t CO2e ha−1 yr−1, respectively), although by the third year
they were only 20 % higher (1.2 t CO2e ha−1 yr−1). CH4
fluxes changed from a small net uptake of −0.03 t CO2e ha−1 yr−1 before felling to a small efflux increasing over the 3 years to
0.34 t CO2e ha−1 yr−1, presumably because of the wetter soil
after felling. Soil CO2 effluxes dominated the annual net GHG emission when the three
gases were compared using their global warming potential (GWP), but N2O
contributed up to 20 % of this. This study showed fluxes of CO2,
CH4, and N2O responded differently to clear-felling due to the
significant changes in soil biotic and abiotic factors and showed large
variations between years. This demonstrates the need for multi-year
measurements of all GHGs to enable a robust estimate of the effect of the
clear-fell phase on the GHG balance of managed forests. This is one of very
few multi-year monitoring studies to assess the effect of clear-fell
harvesting on soil GHG fluxes.
