Da Linguística Aplicada à didática das línguas: pela diversidade de pesquisas favoráveis ao trabalho com língua estrangeira
Authors: Rocha Décio
Published: August 2024

O artigo retraça o caminho percorrido para a institucionalização do FLE, num diálogo entre tendências aplicacionistas, originadas na linguística aplicada, e  independentistas, preconizadas pela didática das línguas. Busca-se, desse modo, reconstituir uma memória discursiva do ensino do francês como língua estrangeira, memória essa que remonta minimamente aos estudos de gramática e tradução do século XVII e que já vem sendo, em parte, reivindicada por estudiosos da área. À guisa de conclusão, após a crítica à ideia de uma linguística que se aplicaria aos estudos voltados para o ensino de línguas, propõe-se uma revisão do tipo de interdisciplinaridade que uma didática das línguas poderia mais produtivamente acolher.
Desenvolvimento Profissional Corresponsável: caminho para a construção de representações endógenas do trabalho docente
Authors: Gatto Vanessa Bianchi , Richter Marcos Gustavo , Corrêa Marcia Cristina
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo, apresentamos uma proposta de capacitação profissional inicial e continuada baseada na triangulação entre professores-pesquisadores da academia, graduandos da universidade e professores do mercado, de modo a estabelecer uma aliança laboral que permitirá, de acordo com os princípios teóricos e metodológicos a serem adotados, descontruir e reconstruir representações sobre o trabalho do professor, reformulando o ego profissional vigente. A partir da interface entre a Teoria Holística da Atividade (THA), de “Autor”, e o Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD), de Bronckart e Machado, buscaremos desenvolver uma metodologia de “escuta” centrada na audiência de uma aliança entre profissionais de Letras de mesmo enquadramento, os quais, através de determinados fluxos discursivos estabelecidos no diálogo com o pesquisador, deverão desenvolver, em corresponsabilidade triádica, representações resiliógenas de seu papel profissional – distantes da acrasia e imunes à exogenia discursiva – especialmente no que se refere aos fatores de atribuição nos níveis alético-epistêmico, deôntico e axiológico.
Who Will Pay Back the Earth? Revaluing Net Energy through the Sustainable Yield of Regional Ecosystems
Authors: Quilligan James
Published: August 2024

The West’s dominance of the world order is being tested by China, Russia, and other nations. This standoff over energy and monetary hegemony has critical implications because neither bloc has a regenerative plan for resource management of the planet. Since the population demand for global resources began to exceed its supply in 1971, world economic growth has surpassed the availability of natural resources. Society’s increasing need for energy calls into question the legitimacy of sovereign governments in accounting for their ecological deficits. A new measure for the energy-value of resources through their sustainable yield is necessary to adjust the financial imbalances in energy, production, and trade while meeting basic human needs within the limits of Earth’s natural systems. The calculation of maximum sustainable yield could transform the neoclassical economic system of value-added into a process of value-renewed exchange by using the metabolic measure of carrying capacity. Biophysical economics may then become the basis for energy, monetary, and security agreements among sovereign nations to devolve the stewardship for restoring net energy-value to people within their bioregional areas. A planetary compact, focusing on the ratio between sustainable yield and human need, would encourage new partnerships between businesses, governments, and the public, granting to citizens the rights and responsibilities to organize the self-sufficiency and sustainability of their own regional habitats.
In Conversation with David Travers, Editor of Arts & Architecture
Authors: Martínez Daniel Díez
Published: August 2024

David Travers was the last editor of Arts & Architecture. For five years, he combined the magazine’s postwar avant-garde content with the urban sensibilities of the 1960s, kept the Case Study House program alive, and initiated a new phase of it in the form of the Case Study Apartments. However, unlike his predecessor, John Entenza, Travers is typically overlooked in the literature on this major modernist undertaking. To rectify the historiographical omission, this essay explores Travers’s legacy through an edited, excerpted transcription of a conversation that took place in 2013. This interview provides a nugget of primary source material and offers new information about the architectural publishing industry and the goals and vision of one the most influential magazines of the mid-twentieth century.
Neoclassicism, Race, and Statecraft across the Atlantic World
Authors: Nelson Louis P.
Published: August 2024

Thomas Jefferson understood classicism as the highest form of architectural expression, the white race as the highest expression of humanity, and a democratic Republic as the most virtuous expression of government. Yet his particularly articulate triangulation of aesthetics, race, and nation making—all born of the Enlightenment—has a history. Using a series of three vignettes from across the Atlantic world, this article argues that neoclassical architecture has been too long divorced from the social, economic, and racialized infrastructures of nation making, somehow distanced from the commercial and financial capital necessary to fund the establishment of states and the theories of race that undergird empire. Before Jefferson, this triangulation was subtle, but the fact that these implicated discourses were difficult to see did not render them impotent in their moment, nor should they be unrecognized in ours.
The Lens of Race: Whiteness and Architectural Photography at Case Study House #22
Authors: Harris Dianne
Published: August 2024

Julius Shulman’s 1960 photograph of Case Study House #22 is one of the most famous architectural images of the twentieth century, yet it has received little critical scrutiny. This article examines Shulman’s photograph to demonstrate the ways this iconic image of residential architecture is deeply intertwined in the production and reproduction of ideas about race in the United States. It scrutinizes how such an image may be complicit in the formation of white supremacy and urges architectural historians to recognize that structures that have permitted the harms and violence of racism are everywhere. Moreover, such structures are so deeply embedded, they are frequently unseen by those who use them.
Uniseriate ray characteristics for wood identification and quality indices of six Korean oak species
Authors: Savero Alvin Muhammad , Kim Jong-Ho , Purusatama Byantara Darsan , Prasetia Denni , Wahyudi Imam , Kim Nam-Hun
Published: August 2024

Radial variation in uniseriate ray characteristics of six Korean oak species was observed to provide information for wood identification and quality evaluation. Radial variations in uniseriate ray characteristics, such as ray height, number, and spacing, were observed at five growth ring intervals from the pith to near the bark using optical microscopy. The transition point between the juvenile and mature wood was evaluated using a segmented regression model. All species showed a comparable trend in uniseriate ray number and spacing, gradually decreasing from the pith to near the bark. Transition zones for the six Korean oak species ranged from 21 to 39 years of growth. The highest uniseriate ray heights and spacings were observed in Quercus aliena. Quercus dentata exhibited the highest number of uniseriate rays. Across all species, uniseriate ray number and spacing were higher in juveniles than in mature wood. A negative correlation was observed between the uniseriate ray number and spacing and the uniseriate ray height. The strongest positive correlation was observed between uniseriate ray number and ray spacing. The most reliable parameters for estimating the demarcation point were uniseriate ray number and spacing. The ray characteristics may be used to identify the six Korean oak species.

Authors: Sutrisno  , Alamsyah Eka Mulya , Suheri Asep
Published: August 2024

The effects of pressing time were evaluated relative to the physical, mechanical, and morphological properties of flat-pressed composites made from Gmelina arborea bark and recycled polypropylene (RPP). Bark powder (5% moisture content) was mixed with RPP pellets in a weight ratio of 40:60 with added maleic anhydride (MAH) as compatibilizer. The materials were mixed in a rotary blender for 15 min at speed 80 rpm until homogeneous. The mixture was heated from 175 to 200 °C until RPP pellets were completely melted and then cooled to room temperature. Afterwards, the mixture was made into powder and molded using a steel plate mold at 175 to 200 °C and pressure of 30 kg/cm2 for 2, 4, and 6 min to a targeted density of 1.0 g/cm3. The tested physical properties were covered density, moisture content, water absorption, and thickness swelling. The mechanical properties modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR), tensile strength parallel to length of panel were also examined. Research results showed that the properties were significantly affected by pressing time and it can be concluded that the optimum condition was obtained at 4 min of pressing.
Getting to know green jobs in Pangandaran regency tourism area
Authors: Nurmalasari Apit
Published: August 2024

Climate change and global concerns about the availability of natural resources are serious issues in Indonesia. Green jobs are one of the alternatives to deal with these issues. These jobs are socially inclusive and can come from conventional sectors such as agriculture, construction, transport, tourism, and manufacturing or from new sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. Pangandaran as one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia has great potential in implementing green jobs. The author reviews the socialization of green jobs and green economy concepts in Pangandaran Regency. We looks at the policies that have been made, namely through the Regional Regulation of Pangandaran Regency or other regulations in accordance with applicable laws, to find out the development of green jobs in Pangandaran. We also reviews the use of budgets in several sectors to determine whether or not the programs run are in line with the vision and mission of national development that supports low carbon development year 2020 to 2024. We uses a qualitative method that focuses on case studies related to the research topic. This research aims to understand the social phenomenon of green jobs through a holistic picture and multiply in-depth understanding of the data obtained. It can be said that the concepts of green jobs and green economy have not applied in Pangandaran Regency based on our observations in the field and analysis of the data. This is due to several obstacles, namely the poor state of regional finances due to Corona Virus (Covid-19), effect of the global recession, and the low qualifications/ competence of human resources in sectors related to green jobs.
An exploration of Magnus effect role in sports, especially in football
Authors: Christianto Victor
Published: August 2024

The present review article can be considered as an exploration in recreational mathematics. The Magnus effect, a phenomenon arising from the interaction between a spinning object and a fluid, plays a crucial role in various sports. This paper delves specifically into its impact on football (soccer). We explore the fundamental principles behind the Magnus effect, explaining how a spinning ball creates a pressure difference that leads to a lateral force, causing the ball to deviate from its expected trajectory. Additionally, the discussion explores the limitations of the Magnus effect and how external conditions can affect its influence. Finally, the paper concludes by highlighting the importance of mastering spin techniques to achieve tactical advantage and enhance ball control.

Assisted oocyte activation significantly improves zygote formation, cleavage, and implantation rates in patients with a history of fertilization failures
Authors: Antonova Irena , Yunakova Mariya , Bochev Ivan , Magunska Nadya , Yaneva Galina , Ivanov Dobri
Published: August 2024

Background

Fertilization check performed at the 18th hour following classic in vitro fertilization procedure (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a critical stage in assisted reproduction. The success of the treatment is significantly reliant on the quantity of zygotes exhibiting two pronuclei. Consequently, low fertilization rates or complete fertilization failure are highly undesirable outcomes for both patients and reproductive specialists. Applying additional calcium ionophore for oocyte activation subsequent to ICSI may offer benefits and potentially enhance treatment outcomes, particularly for patients who have experienced low or absent fertilization rates (FR) in previous treatment cycles. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Ca2+ ionophore application for oocyte activation.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 924 oocytes obtained from 120 patients who underwent ICSI cycles with a history of low or no fertilization as a result of previous unsuccessful treatment rounds. The next ART cycle followed with additional oocyte Ca2+ ionophore activation applied in 57 of the cases in order to optimize the treatment process (Group 1), and 63 patients were included and their outcomes followed as a control group (Group 2).

We conducted a comparative analysis of results in both groups. The study's primary outcomes encompassed fertilization, cleavage embryo quality, blastocyst rate, and established clinical pregnancies.

Results

At day 1 fertilization check we had 274/386 zygotes (71%FR) in group 1 and 132/410 in group 2 (32.2%FR), (P < 0.0001). Twenty-two (34.9%) cycles in group 2 resulted in total fertilization failure (TFF). At the cleavage stage top-quality embryos from group 1 were significantly higher (P = 0.0021) in comparison to group 2. Forty-eight embryo transfers (ET) were performed in group 1 resulting in 41.67% clinical pregnancies versus 33 ET and only 4 pregnancies (12.12%) for group 2 (P = 0.0044).

Conclusions

The results confirm the appropriateness of assisted oocyte activation as an additional method in cases of previous fertilization failure cycles.
Empowering Communities to Prevent Stunting: A Study in Sitiris-Tiris Village, Tapanuli Tengah Regency, North Sumatra Province
Authors: Gaja Fatma Zuhro , Sahrul Sahrul
Published: August 2024

Stunting in children, caused by chronic malnutrition from ages 0-5, negatively impacts physical and psychomotor development as well as their future. This nutritional deficiency often results from a lack of public knowledge about stunting and preventive measures. This study aims to explore community empowerment efforts to prevent stunting in Sitiris-tiris Village, Andam Dewi District, Tapanuli Tengah Regency, North Sumatra Province. The research employs a qualitative method. Data collection involves direct observation at Posyandu Beringin in Sitiris-tiris Village and interviews with 10 informants, including midwives, nutritionists, cadres, and mothers of young children. The findings reveal that community empowerment through two main programs—educational outreach and DASHAT (Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting)—successfully reduced the stunting rate in the village. The educational outreach program increased parents' knowledge about stunting, while DASHAT focused on improving healthy eating patterns as a preventive measure against stunting. The reduction in stunting rates reflects the success of the community empowerment efforts in the village.

Published: August 2024

Recently, fabrication of nanoemulsion has drawn substantial interest in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, particularly the development of nanosystems for the delivery of bioactive compounds. The idea of this material is to encapsulate and carry water-insoluble active agents to the targeted site. Our work focuses on the ideal delivery system for alpha-tocopheryl acetate (AVE), which currently covers a broad range of medications, supplementation and cosmetics. To put it in detail, we investigated different kinds of pluronic emulsifiers (pluronic F127, pluronic P123 and their mixture) to fabricate the AVE-loaded nanoemulsion particles. The structure, physicochemical properties, stability and biocompatibility of various formulations were compared using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra; Dynamic light scattering (DLS); macroscopic and microscopic images; Transmision electron microscopy (TEM) and in vitro cytotoxicity test. The obtained results exhibited a high stability of AVE-loaded pluronic mixture as compared to that of the free-AVE sample. Moreover, the dual pluronic formulation also showed a great cytocompatibility which could be utilized in topical and transdermal delivery.

Published: August 2024

The wastewater generated from the livestock industry is an enormous source of pollution that is challenging the sustainable development of the agricultural sector. Even the anaerobic digestion is adopted, the characteristic of the digested wastewater is still way polluted compared to the discharge standard. The high content of ammonia in this wastewater resulted in a low C/N ratio, consequently inhibiting the aerobic biological treatment. Hence, it is necessary to pretreat the excessive concentration of ammonia from the input stream of livestock wastewater. The High-Performance Rotating Reactor (HP2R) equipment has been proven to be a promising and advanced equipment to remove high concentrations of ammonia from synthetic wastewater via stripping. Therefore, ammonia removal using HP2R equipment was comprehensively studied with the digested swine wastewater under various operational conditions. In this study, the effects of pre-alkalinization (pHi), rotating speed (ω), gas flow rate (QG), and swine wastewater flow rate (QL) on the ammonia removal efficiency (ARE) and the overall liquid mass transfer coefficient (KLa) was evaluated. The results indicated that the HP2R could effectively remove ammonia from the wastewater in instant batch mode at a laboratory scale. The ARE by stripping via HP2R varied from 33% to 78% at various gas and liquid flow rate with the pre-alkalinization of swine wastewater pHi of 11, ω of 900-1200 rpm, and the initial ammonia concentration of approximately 660 mg/L. Especially, the mass transfer of the process was enhanced compared to the conventional packed column as the KLa varied from 0.0014 s-1 to 0.0038 s-1.
Synthesis of benzamide derivatives and evaluation of their in vitro and in silico tyrosinase inhibitory activities
Authors: Tran Hoai Tu  , Nguyen Trung Nhan  , Dang Hoang Phu
Published: August 2024

In this research, six benzamide derivatives were traditionally synthesized using hydrazine, carbazide, and hydroxylamine derivatives through the pre- or in situ activation of the carboxylic acid functionality. Their chemical structures were identified as N′-phenylbenzohydrazide, N′-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)benzohydrazide, N′-(benzoyloxy)benzamide, N-dibenzoylurea, 2-amino-5-(4-phenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, and benzohydrazide based on the interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data. Among these products, N′-phenylbenzohydrazide and N-(benzoyloxy)benzamide showed potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 10.5 and 2.5 μM, respectively, stronger than that of kojic acid (44.6 μM). Docking studies between oxy-tyrosinase and the two active compounds have been carried out to analyze their binding interactions. Both two active compounds showed negative binding free energy values (S values) and some more interactions than the positive control (kojic acid). This discovery provided evidence for the potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity of these two compounds, making them promising candidates for the development of anti-tyrosinase agents in medicine  and cosmetics.

Se identifican las temáticas centrales como: la investigación de mercados; el efecto del COVID-19 en las empresas y sus indicadores económicos; y la teoría básica de mercadeo. El diseño metodológico de este estudio se encuadra dentro del enfoque cuantitativo - deductivo y es de carácter descriptivo, para el cual se revisaron fuentes en el buscador especializado Google Scholar; posteriormente se realizó la clasificación de los artículos más importantes y el análisis de las citas. Los resultados mostraron que los efectos económicos del COVID-19 en las empresas fueron similares en distintas regiones alrededor del mundo, que el consumidor cambió, que su nueva definición aún es materia de estudio y que el área de mercadeo es donde más trabajo enfocarían las empresas para asegurar su existencia en el tiempo, toda vez que es de esta área que depende la permanencia económica de las mismas.
Participación de las mujeres en la toma de decisiones en sistemas lecheros familiares
Authors: Vega-García Jesús Israel , Iturbe-González Angélica , Martínez-García Carlos Galdino
Published: August 2024

La producción de leche en pequeña escala contribuye a la subsistencia de varias familias; pero, la igualdad de género no es una realidad en zonas rurales. Las mujeres afrontan violencia conyugal y se demerita su participación, provocando limitaciones en la toma de decisiones del sistema de producción. La participación de las mujeres se considera un factor para revertir la subordinación, eliminar su marginación social y empoderarlas. El objetivo fue evaluar el índice de empoderamiento de las mujeres en estos sistemas de producción de tres zonas (poniente, centro y oriente) de Aculco, Estado de México. La información se recopiló con un cuestionario aplicado a 60 mujeres, 20 por zona. La encuesta midió tres niveles de dominio de empoderamiento: acceso y poder de decisión sobre los recursos productivos, toma de decisiones productivas y el uso del tiempo. La información se analizó con el programa estadístico SPSS para análisis de varianza, mediante un diseño completamente aleatorio, con las diferentes zonas como tratamiento. Como resultado, se observó que, en los primeros dos dominios, la zona poniente obtuvo menores puntuaciones (p<0.05), en comparación con las zonas centro y oriente, indicando que, ahí las mujeres tienen menor alcance de participación en el sector agropecuario. Se concluye que el contexto natural de estos sistemas influye en el empoderamiento de las mujeres, así como el acceso a recursos.
Apropiación social de la ciencia y tecnología en proyectos de conservación: Una propuesta metodológica para comprenderlo
Authors: Nuñez-Rico Angelica , Bañuelos-Barron Cecilia
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal presentar una propuesta metodológica para la esquematización del proceso de apropiación social de la ciencia y la tecnología (ASCyT) en contextos donde existan proyectos de conservación para la vida silvestre a nivel local. A partir de la selección de la definición de León Olivé Morett (1950-2017) sobre “apropiación fuerte”, se extrajeron los elementos que fueron analizados con herramientas basadas en la sociología de traducción propuesta por Callon, lo que brindará una noción sobre los agentes que contribuyen en proyectos de conservación y la conformación de redes. Posteriormente, se plantearon herramientas que coadyuven a la distinción de los agentes identificados, detectando sus posibles cambios debido a sus interacciones, las formas que adoptan dichas interacciones y la influencia de los discursos provenientes del ámbito académico en la ASCyT. Se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la esquematización y entendimiento de los procesos de ASCyT, en la que es necesaria la interacción entre actores de distintas culturas. Con esto se reflexiona sobre las estrategias de diálogo y ejecución de proyectos que implementan los agentes del área científica y del campo de la sustentabilidad, con énfasis en el papel que desempeñan como expertos.

Authors: Cafiel Cuello Yair , Martínez- Trujillo Nerys Esther
Published: August 2024

Se realizó una revisión de la literatura producida entre 2018 y 2022 en torno a la pirámide de Maslow en el campo de la educación, con el objetivo de proveer un análisis actualizado del tema. Se hace una presentación descriptiva y analítica de los datos recabados en las bases de datos educativas Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC®) y GRAÓ®, así como las interdisciplinares Scielo® y ScienceDirect®. Se encontró un número limitado de investigaciones que abordaban el tema de manera precisa, procedentes, en su mayoría, de los Estados Unidos. El número total de estudios considerados fue de 50, representados mayoritariamente por artículos científicos. Se identificaron cuatro líneas temáticas que relacionan la pirámide de Maslow y la educación: métodos y estándares educativos, uso de tecnología, ruralidad y predictores comportamentales. Los enfoques suelen coincidir en indicar que la supleción de las necesidades de los individuos enriquece el proceso educativo. En prospectiva, se identificaron carencias investigativas en torno a la temática en Latinoamérica; asimismo, la escasa producción global identificada demuestra pertinente realizar una nueva revisión en años siguientes.
Atención a la diversidad e inclusión educativa. Un análisis desde el sistema educativo de las Islas Canarias
Authors: Carrillo-López Pedro José , García-Perujo María
Published: August 2024

La diversidad en el ser humano es un hecho natural, complejo, múltiple y que, por consiguiente, es una realidad inevitable en la escuela. Es ineludible a la educación, está presente en nuestras aulas y ha de ser atendida por todo el profesorado bajo los principios de inclusión y equidad. A lo largo de este manuscrito se enmarcan los conceptos de diversidad, integración e inclusión, haciendo referencia brevemente a las fechas históricas más relevantes relacionadas con dichos términos en el modelo educativo aplicado en las Islas Canarias en la etapa de Educación Obligatoria, ya que las primeras etapas de la vida suponen un período crítico donde se producen múltiples transformaciones físicas, sociales y psicológicas que pueden afectar notablemente al desarrollo integral del alumnado. Asimismo, se analiza la gestión organizativa del aula inclusiva y las bases de la enseñanza, tratando de redefinir la figura del profesor de Pedagogía Terapéutica. Con base en esta figura surgen algunos interrogantes: ¿cuándo apoyar?, ¿cómo apoyar? o ¿a qué tipo de alumnado apoyar? En conclusión, se extrae que, sobre estas cuestiones, sigue habiendo disparidad de opiniones sobre la necesidad o no de intervenir dentro o fuera del aula ordinaria. Aún existen muchas lagunas de investigación en cuanto a la intervención del docente de Pedagogía Terapéutica dentro del aula; por ello, futuros estudios de intervención deben aportar mayor luz ante estas cuestiones porque es clave plasmar la discusión más allá de estos factores, ya que limita y reduce el problema.

El campo de la migración y sus vínculos con la educación constituyen un escenario significativo para la investigación académica. Las reflexiones contenidas en el presente artículo centra su mirada en documentos que analizan la migración de niños y niñas, se profundiza en el campo de las percepciones frente a los problemas asociados a su desplazamiento y llegada a las comunidades de acogida a partir del concepto de trayectorias y cómo el fenómeno de inmigración constituye problemas sociales y problemas públicos que afectan los escenarios escolares en los países receptores. El artículo es fruto de una revisión sistemática de literatura, cuya finalidad fue la caracterización de documentos que exponen resultados de investigación acerca del estudio de las infancias migratorias. La revisión de documentos se llevó a cabo bajo la metodología PRISMA 2020, para este proceso se realizó una búsqueda extensiva de publicaciones donde se analizaron artículos, informes de ONG y tesis de grado que bajo unos criterios de inclusión y exclusión permitieron decantar información sobre los niños y niñas en condición migratoria en el marco del último éxodo venezolano dado desde el año 2015.Los estudios relacionan pesquisas conceptuales sobre la infancia migrante, la comprensión del niño y la niña en su recorrido migratorio con los problemas derivados del desplazamiento forzoso, al cual se han visto sometidos y las relaciones que surgen con las trayectorias sociales de esta población  con la educación. En conjunto, los documentos concluyen cómo el impacto de la migración venezolana toca los escenarios escolares y las trayectorias sociales de los niños y niñas que migran; explican también cómo se presenta una relación directa entre infancias migrantes y vulnerabilidad. Además, dan cuenta de la construcción social de la integración escolar en la infancia migrante como un problema público para las sociedades receptoras.

Published: August 2024

Introducción: A más de dos años de que la Organización Mundial de la Salud decreta la pandemia por Covid-19, las instituciones de educación superior han emprendido el retorno de las actividades presenciales en lo que se conoce como educación post-pandemia. Método: El presente trabajo es una revisión crítica y sistematizada sobre el tema de la docencia universitaria en la post-pandemia, a través del método SALSA (Grant & Booth, 2009), con el cual se elaboró un plan que incluyó la búsqueda de la literatura en las bases de datos Scopus, Eric, Google Académico, BidiUNAM y Scielo. Se incluyeron 42 textos de diferentes países que se analizaron cualitativamente. Resultados: Se examinaron estudios realizados en 24 países diferentes, de donde emergieron cinco categorías de análisis según el contenido de los textos: a) Transición hacia la educación híbrida; b) Competencias y formación docente; c) Impacto y lecciones aprendidas de la educación remota y digital; d) Posibilidades y restricciones en el acceso a prácticas digitales; y e) Modelos educativos para la post-pandemia. Conclusiones: Se encontró una tendencia general a considerar la educación en post-pandemia como una continuidad en el uso de tecnologías digitales; la construcción de un modelo híbrido que se entiende de forma polisémica; una transición hacia actividades en donde los alumnos tienen un papel protagónico; la necesidad de formación del profesorado en distintos tipos de habilidades; así como formular teóricamente lo que significa la educación bajo un modelos híbrido o mixto.
The Impact of Tax Awareness on Tax Compliance: Evidence from Vietnam

In Vietnam, tax authorities have implemented many initiatives to support administrative procedural reform with a taxpayer-centered approach, particularly the self-calculation, self-filing, and self-paying methods, where taxpayers are responsible for their tax declaration and payment. The issue is that tax evasion or compliance behavior is derived from taxpayers’ awareness. The study investigates the connection between tax awareness and tax compliance in Vietnam. This study applies a quantitative analysis with a research sample of 380 individual taxpayers employed in various industries across Vietnam. The questionnaire is sent to taxpayers by directly email and via the tax authorities. The collected data are then processed and analyzed by SPSS v.22. The study applies Cronbach’s Alpha as a tool for assessing scales’ reliability or internal consistency. The research results indicate a significant direct effect of the independent variable with the dependent variable, particularly tax awareness positively influences tax compliance and accounts for 37.3% of the variation in tax compliance. Based on the research findings, this study proposes some policy implications to enhance tax awareness and improve voluntary tax compliance behaviors including (1) conducting an overall assessment program on the current level of tax awareness and developing targeted programs for different groups of taxpayers based on those results; (2) transforming tax educational methods to improve taxpayers’ accessibility and engagement, catering to different learning preferences and technological abilities; (3) integrating tax topics into high school, university programs or in training programs for new employees; (4) promoting a culture of tax compliance through organizing tax awareness competitions and introducing rewards for taxpayers with high compliance levels.

The paper examines cross-border dynamics of tax revenue and the macroeconomic environment in Africa. This is very vital as African countries aim to harmonize the macroeconomic environment and ultimately need to determine the consequence of such integration on their tax revenue. However, the macroeconomic environment-tax revenue nexus has been less studied in collective Africa. This study extends the current understanding by integrating variance partitioning approaches to comprehensively explain the dynamics. The macroeconomic environment is operationalized using exchange rate (EXR), interest rate (INTR), inflation (INFR), and inward foreign direct investment (FDI). Tax revenue is measured as tax revenue to gross domestic product (tax-to-GDP). The data are collected from the World Bank Database, Global Economy, and World-Wide Governance Indicators from 2000 to 2021 among 41 African countries. The paper employs Generalized Method of Moment, Dynamic Ordinary Least Square, and Impulse Response and Variance Decomposition for the estimations. The estimation reveals that depreciation of local currencies undermines tax revenue. High interest rates backed by marginal capital stock could improve tax revenue. INFR and FDI also have positive effects on tax revenue. The impulse response and variance decomposition reveal that variations in tax revenue are mainly due to its own variations throughout the ten periods even though FDI, EXR, and INFR are still relevant. The implication is that although the macroeconomic environment drives tax revenue, their individual shocks or innovations are weakly tied to African tax revenue. African governments could deepen tax revenue performance by steering up policies to strengthen the integration of macroeconomic gains into improved revenue mobilization.
The Level of Development of Basic Infrastructure as a Factor in Stimulating Tax Revenue Growth in Nigeria

Taxation is an essential facet of governmental operations that must be supported by basic infrastructure in order to be efficient and successful. The government has had trouble generating adequate tax income in order to carry out fundamental social duties, particularly in rising economies such as Nigeria. The study examines the level at which the existing basic infrastructure is able to boost tax revenue growth in Nigeria. Due to the existence of a long-standing association in the series used for the current research, the contribution of basic infrastructure development to strengthening tax revenue collection efforts is examined from 1993 to 2022 using econometric methods in the form of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) co-integration method and Error Correction Model. The findings divulge that infrastructure development in education has a negative impression on tax strength in the long run but has a huge satisfactory influence on tax effort in the near term. Furthermore, information and telecommunication facilities are both substantial and positive in both the long and short term, whereas transport and road network are considerably beneficial in the long run but intangible in the near run. However, in the short run, amenities at healthcare centers, financial services, and insurance become statistically disadvantageous and insignificant. The inquiry made several suggestions, including upgrading the country’s healthcare facilities, developing an efficient finance and insurance system, and building roads and transit networks. Finally, the tax authority should be dedicated to regularly expanding taxpayers’ education and understanding of all tax legislations and subsequent modifications in the country’s tax policies.

TENDÊNCIAS PEDAGÓGICAS NO ENSINO DE ARTE: DA TRADICIONAL ÀS CONTEMPORÂNEAS
Authors: Alvarenga Valeria Metroski de
Published: August 2024

Quais foram/são as tendências pedagógicas para o ensino de Arte? O objetivo deste artigo foi apresentar um panorama dessas concepções educativas com ênfase nas Artes Visuais. Dividiu-se as tendências em dois grupos: (i) gerais (Pedagogia Tradicional, Nova, Tecnicista e Histórico-Crítica), as quais abrangem diversos componentes curriculares e (ii) específicas para o ensino de arte (Abordagem Triangular, Cultura Visual, Estética do Cotidiano e A/R/Tografia). Devido à complexidade delas, não se tem pretensão de esgotá-las, e sim elencar características teórico-metodológicas para fins analíticos/comparativos. A metodologia utilizada foi a qualitativa de cunho bibliográfico. Como aporte teórico, contou-se com o apoio dos seguintes autores: Arslan e Iavelberg (2006), Barbosa (2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015), Ferraz e Fusari (2018), Iavelberg (2009), Oliveira e Hernandez (2015), Irwin e Dias (2013), Richter (2000), Saviani (2007, 2013), entre outros. Os resultados indicaram pontos consonantes e dissonantes entre as tendências gerais e específicas, resquícios das concepções antigas na atualidade e inter-relações entre as que estão em voga, vinculadas à lógica pós-moderna.

Published: August 2024

We present a workflow for producing shallow subsurface velocity models from passive urban distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data. This method is demonstrated using a dataset collected in Bern, Switzerland, using in situ telecommunications fiber. We compute noise correlations to extract Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves, which we then use to produce a series of overlapping 1D velocity models of the top tens of meters of the subsurface. This dataset represents a realistic “best-case” scenario when using real urban telecommunications fiber—the cable layout is linear, its location is well known, and coupling is broadly sufficient. Nevertheless, a number of nontrivial complexities still exist in such a dataset and are highlighted in this study. Rather than prescribing one optimal workflow for all similar experiments, we focus on the steps taken and decisions made that led to a velocity model in this setting. It is our hope that such a text will be useful to future researchers exploring DAS interferometry and may provide some guidance on overcoming the difficulties and imperfections of working with such datasets.

Published: August 2024

This paper explores the critical need for revising the MDS Prosthodontics curriculum and teaching methods to better align with contemporary advances in dental practice and education. It advocates for a comprehensive overhaul that incorporates cutting-edge technologies, such as digital dentistry and addresses specialized areas including geriatrics and forensic odontology. The paper highlights the importance of integrating advanced pedagogical techniques, such as simulation-based learning, flipped classrooms and interdisciplinary collaboration, to enhance the practical and theoretical understanding of students. It also underscores the role of continuous professional development (CPD) in ensuring that Prosthodontists remain adept and up-to-date with emerging trends and best practices. By proposing structured updates across curriculum content, teaching methodologies, and professional growth opportunities, this paper aims to foster a dynamic and robust educational framework that better prepares future Prosthodontists to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care, and excel in an evolving healthcare landscape.
