El desarrollo de la competencia investigadora a través de los proyectos de aprendizaje-servicio. Codiseño y validación de una herramienta formativa para los futuros profesionales de la educación
Authors: Payà Montserrat , Escofet Roig Anna , Rubio Laura
Published: November 2019

INTRODUCCIÓN. El enfoque formativo basado en competencias en el ámbito universitario favorece una continua interacción entre la práctica y la teoría. Para ello resulta imprescindible establecer experiencias auténticas en contextos reales, y reflexión, debate y contraste abierto entre saberes personales y profesionales. La competencia investigadora tiene un papel central en este enfoque, desarrollándose a lo largo de todo el proceso formativo de los estudiantes de manera contextualizada en diversos escenarios educativos, lo cual está estrechamente vinculado con el aprendizaje-servicio, al entender que el aprendizaje universitario se basa en la indagación y la investigación con las personas y en el contexto. MÉTODO. Se expone el proceso de codiseño y validación de una herramienta para la formación y evaluación de la competencia investigadora en la formación de los futuros profesionales de la educación. RESULTADOS. La herramienta sistematiza las subcompetencias, los indicadores y los niveles de ejecución de la competencia investigadora, y ofrece orientaciones para su aplicación. DISCUSIÓN. Partiendo de una mirada que destaca el cuestionamiento y la indagación como base del aprendizaje universitario, así como también subrayando un modelo de relación universidad-entorno basado en la responsabilidad social, el desarrollo de la competencia investigadora representa un eje central de la formación universitaria en todas sus áreas y disciplinas. Asimismo, la incorporación de proyectos de aprendizaje-servicio y otras actividades de carácter experiencial puede afianzar su desarrollo de manera decidida.

Published: November 2019

INTRODUCCIÓN. La literatura ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia del estudio de la identidad académica para el cambio de la educación. En el caso del aprendizaje-servicio como innovación educativa y planteamiento pedagógico, metodología e, incluso, filosofía de la formación plantea una manera diferente de entenderse como docente. En este contexto esta investigación pretende identificar los rasgos y características de la identidad académica del profesorado que trabaja con aprendizaje-servicio (ApS), así como su papel y rol en el trabajo docente y su impacto en la universidad. MÉTODO. Desde la perspectiva de la metodología de métodos mixtos se analizan los datos de cuatro investigaciones sobre ApS en relación a la temática de estudio. En concreto se analiza la información de 319 cuestionarios, 8 entrevistas, 3 grupos de discusión y 60 relatos de profesorado, alumnado y socios comunitarios. RESULTADOS. El profesorado de ApS tiene una representación del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el que el alumnado es el protagonista del proceso y en el que resultan claves la cooperación, la motivación y su participación activa. En este sentido, las funciones a desarrollar por el profesorado son las de acompañar, posibilitar un escenario para que el aprendizaje sea posible y liderar un proceso junto al alumnado y los socios comunitarios que participan en el proceso. DISCUSIÓN. Los resultados muestran que el profesorado universitario en ApS incorpora los componentes que responden a ser profesor de universidad hoy en día para posibilitar un aprendizaje profundo y extenso por parte del alumnado y asumir e impulsar la responsabilidad social universitaria. También que esta identidad acadé- mica cuestiona con su práctica las contradicciones de la universidad actual, marcada por la mercantilización y por la presión evaluadora, planteando una manera de ser y estar transformadora en los contextos en los que se desarrolla.
Rural Teachers Learning Bioanalytical Engineering
Authors: Hardré Patricia L , Nanny‎ Mark A. , Morales Shaida , Kenton Regina , Lewis Laura , Guo Shichen , Peng Qianuyun , Xu Hui
Published: November 2019

Professional development opportunities provide teachers with enhanced learning experiences, deeper subject knowledge, and improvement of their teaching practices, all for the goal of increasing student achievement (Nelson, 2009). Unfortunately, most rural teachers have much less access to professional development opportunities compared to their urban and suburban peers (Hardré, P.L., et al., 2014). A Research Experience for Teachers (RET ), which is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program, was created for rural high school math and science teachers in collaboration with the University of Oklahoma and the Center for Bioanalysis. As participants, teachers applied and were accepted to participate in a seven-week summer research experience to connect bioanalytical engineering and their research experiences into their classrooms and to stimulate their students’ critical thinking skills. The following narrative and analysis chronicle the teams’ design, development and learning experience in redesigning the seven-week professional development for rural science and math teachers.
Leichte Sprache und Klart Språk
Authors: Amrhein Joane
Published: November 2019

Dieser Artikel behandelt die Konzepte „Leichte Sprache“ (LS) im Deutschen und „Klart Språk“ (KS) im Norwegischen. Dabei werden die jeweiligen Zielgruppen identifiziert und die öffentliche Meinung zu den Konzepten aufgezeigt. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Zielgruppen sind deutlich sichtbar. „Leichte Sprache“ wurde zur Inklusion eingeführt und zielt primär auf Menschen mit Lernschwäche ab. „Klart Språk“ soll für mehr Demokratie im Land sorgen und richtet sich daher an die ganze Bevölkerung. Eine Studie zeigte, dass die Zielgruppe „Leichte Sprache“ überwiegend positiv bewertet, auch wenn nicht alle Regeln für sinnvoll erachtet werden. Jenseits davon wird aber kontrovers diskutiert, ob „Leichte Sprache“ die ganze Bevölkerung ansprechen sollte oder nur bestimmte Gruppen. Auch „Klart Språk“ findet vorwiegend große Zustimmung, besonders in Regierungs- und Verwaltungskreisen. Dennoch gibt es innerhalb der norwegischen Gesellschaft zwei Personengruppen, für die der Einatz von „Klart Språk“ kontrovers diskutiert wird. Das sind zum einen Menschen mit Norwegisch als Fremdsprache und solche, denen das Lesen schwerfällt.
Das Verhältnis von Selbstwerdung und Gott bei Sören Kierkegaard. Eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme
Authors: Park Thomas
Published: November 2019

In Fear and Trembling Kierkegaard (alias Johannes de Silentio) writes that Abraham intended to sacrifice Isaac for God’s sake as well as for his own sake. Drawing mainly on The Sickness unto Death I will argue that Kierkegaard construes Abraham as becoming a true self, that is, as someone who becomes self-transparent before God. What this means and how our relationship with God is supposed to be involved in the process of becoming a self is the focus of my paper. While various articles have been written on that topic, my aim here is to give the most charitable interpretation of Kierkegaard’s theses and the theological concepts involved.
Kierkegaard’s Secret Politics of Anguish and Love
Authors: Raudanski Tomer
Published: November 2019

This paper explores Kierkegaard’s method of irony and his distinct conception of temporality through the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. It suggests that Kierkegaard makes an ironic use of the term ‘sacrifice.’ Rather than asking us to abandon all human preferential relationships in favor of an abstract (religious) love to an anonymous neighbor, it advances the view that Kierkegaard’s prime objective is therapeutic. Kierkegaard seeks to disabuse us of the idea that we can fully possess faith, or indeed, anything meaningful whatsoever, such as the love that pulsates in our hearts for a family member, romantic partner, friend, or even to ourselves.
Kierkegaard’s Authorship as Eucharistic Liturgy
Authors: Robinson Tekoa N.
Published: November 2019

This article will argue that much of Kierkegaard’s authorship is reflective of the characteristics of the Eucharistic liturgy found in the 1830 Forordnet Alter-Bog for Danmark (confession, invitation, preparation/exhortation, consecration, and thanksgiving/praise/blessing), particularly as each of those elements of the liturgy are reflected in his seven Discourses at the Communion on Fridays in Part IV of Christian Discourses. Major components of his authorship function as an indirect invitation to the single individual reader to inwardly experience the prototype-redeemer dialectic as it was enacted in a typical Eucharistic liturgy of Kierkegaard’s day. The readers of Kierkegaard’s work make interpretive decisions not only about Kierkegaard’s texts, but most importantly about themselves, God, and the paradox of Christ, such that by the time they finish the authorship they find themselves inwardly standing at the foot of the altar, either offended by the paradox of Christ and ready to turn and leave, or beating their breasts alongside the tax collector.
Towards a Kierkegaardian Retreating of the Political
Authors: Karlsen Mads Peter
Published: November 2019

The first section of this paper argues that we can find in Kierkegaard an idea of equality, epitomized in the notion of “the neighbor” presented in Works of Love, which is highly relevant for, among other things, a critical engagement with today’s “identity politics.” The second section argues that Kierkegaard’s idea of equality is a religious-existential task, but also a task concerning our relationship with other human beings. The third section demonstrates how this idea of equality is evinced in the notion of “the neighbor.” The last section offers some reflections on how we might begin to rethink the political based on this idea of equality.
Vertikaltopik und technische Innovation als diskursiv-rhetorisches Instrumentarium politischer Utopie bei Kurt Hiller
Authors: Beun Cyril de
Published: November 2019

The 1920s and 1930s are commonly known as the Golden Age of Flight, but they also saw many experiments in rocketry. This article explores the symbolic traces that such early innovations in aerospace engineering left in the sociopolitical thinking of German writer Kurt Hiller (1885-1972). Particular attention is paid to the rhetorical potential of technological discourses in Hiller’s essays and speeches from the 1920s. The article shows how, as a public intellectual, Hiller was able to interlink scientific, religious, biological and political discourses. It furthermore demonstrates that Hiller rhetorically rejected linear scientific thinking in favour of the utopian promise of space travel. This defining opposition in his reasoning hinged on a topical switch from horizontal to vertical orientation, which underpinned his promulgation of a new type of socialist-meritocratic democracy. In this he mirrored the vertical thinking of his times by applying it in a distinctive way to his own sociopolitical writing and thought.
Entwicklung und Beharrung
Authors: Susteck Sebastian
Published: November 2019

The article contributes to the history of education and the humanities from the 1950s to the 1980s. It focuses primarily on literary and cultural studies (especially German studies), both of which it explores from the perspective of university students. In order to examine the views of students, this article analyzes several hundred so-called .semester reports. from the ›Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes‹, West Germanyʼs largest scholarship-awarding institution for high performing students. In the largely unexplored reports students reflect on their academic development, university courses and interests. Presenting results from an ongoing research project, the article discusses the problems and benefits that derive from analyzing the reports. The reports show the special profile of the humanities with their affinity with everyday discourse and their horizontal arrangement of knowledge, reflect the development of paradigms in the field of literary studies, and, finally, provoke the question to what extent we can speak of a history of the humanities.

Published: November 2019

Emeljanovas, A, Mieziene, B, Cesnaitiene, VJ, Fjortoft, I, and Kjønniksen, L. Physical fitness and anthropometric values among Lithuanian primary school children: population-based cross-sectional study. J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 414–421, 2020—The purpose of the current study was to derive representative reference scores on anthropometric measures and test scores for the musculoskeletal, motor, and cardiorespiratory fitness of Lithuanian primary school children according to age and sex. This cross-sectional design study included 3,456 Lithuanian first- to fourth-grade children from age 6 to 10 years. Physical fitness was measured using a nine-item test battery developed by Fjørtoft et al. The test battery included the following tests: standing broad jump (explosive strength), jumping a distance of 7 m on 2 feet, jumping a distance of 7 m on 1 foot (both tests indicate leg muscle strength), throwing a tennis ball with one hand, and pushing a medicine ball with 2 hands (both tests indicate arm muscle strength). These tests measured musculoskeletal fitness. In addition, there were measures of a 10 × 5-m shuttle run (agility), running 20 m as fast as possible (speed), and climbing wall bars (coordination)—general tests of motor fitness. Reduced 6-minute Cooper test (endurance) measured cardiorespiratory fitness. A Student's t test and analysis of variance were performed to indicate differences between sexes and across age, respectively. The significant differences in mean scores in anthropometric and fitness means indicated that boys had higher scores than girls, and older children scored higher than younger children (p < 0.05). Data on normative sex- and age-specific percentile values (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 97th) for physical fitness tests in Lithuanian primary school children are provided. These data are useful for educational settings, parents, clinicians, sports organizations, and sports clubs in identifying problems or outstanding performance and providing sports programs that develop children's athletic performance.
Differences in Gluteal and Quadriceps Muscle Activation During Weight-Bearing Exercises Between Female Subjects With and Without Patellofemoral Pain
Authors: Glaviano Neal R. , Saliba Susan
Published: November 2019

Glaviano, NR and Saliba, S. Differences in gluteal and quadriceps muscle activation during weight-bearing exercises between female subjects with and without patellofemoral pain. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 55–62, 2022—Therapeutic exercises targeting gluteal and quadriceps muscles have been previously investigated; however, these studies have only been conducted on healthy individuals. Female subjects with patellofemoral pain (PFP) present with weakness in their gluteal and quadriceps muscles and commonly perform exercises that target these muscles. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare lower extremity muscle activity during 5 weight-bearing exercises between female subjects with and without PFP. Twenty female subjects with PFP and 20 healthy female subjects completed 5 weight-bearing tasks: a single-leg squat (SLS), lateral step-down, step-up task, step-down task, and lunge. Surface electromyography of the gluteus medius (GMed), gluteus maximus (GMax), vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis oblique (VMO) were collected. Electromyography activity were normalized to maximal voluntary isometric contractions to represent each gluteal and quadriceps muscle as a percentage. Female subjects with PFP completed a SLS and step-up tasks with less GMed and GMax activity (p < 0.05) compared with those without PFP. Female subjects with PFP also had greater VMO activity (p < 0.05) during the step-up, step down, and lunge and VL activity (p < 0.05) during the step-up and SLS compared with healthy female subjects. Practitioners should be aware that there are differences in gluteal and quadriceps muscle activation between female subjects with and without PFP while performing weight-bearing exercises. These findings should influence both the selection of specific exercises and exercise progression when developing a treatment program that has the intended focus to address gluteal or quadriceps strength deficits in female subjects with PFP.

Published: November 2019

O modo pelo qual se forma ou se organiza uma Agenda-Setting governamental faz pensar menos nas forças democráticas atuantes, mas, sobretudo, na força que a mídia possui na sociedade atual, chamada por alguns autores, de sociedade do espetáculo. A formulação de uma agenda de governo requer conceitos pré-decisórios que norteiam a observância de alguns fatores, como pesquisar dados históricos e acompanhar as tendências a partir desta análise; abrir canais de comunicação para ouvir a opinião pública; envolver e estimular também a participação de especialistas; envolver a classe empresarial, sindicatos e associações; governo local e toda classe política de uma dada região.  Existem pautas que mesmo não sendo assuntos prioritários, em dado momento, necessitam de atenção devido à notoriedade dada pela mídia em dadas circunstâncias, devendo o governo, nesses casos, apresentar uma resposta imediata. Este estudo tem como objetivo mostrar que a mídia influenciou na elaboração do Código Ambiental do Município de Belford Roxo, Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro. Para tanto, inicialmente, será discutida a teoria da agenda setting, a seguir os fatos trazidos pela mídia que influenciaram a elaboração da legislação municipal. Em seguida serão trazidos os principais instrumentos legais do código, bem como de sua aplicação em forma de política pública ambiental.
Changes in speciated PM2.5 concentrations in Fresno, California, due to NOx reductions and variations in diurnal emission profiles by day of week
Authors: de Foy Benjamin , Schauer James J.
Published: November 2019

The San Joaquin Valley in California suffers from poor air quality due to a combination of local emissions and weak ventilation. Over the course of decades, there has been a concerted effort to control emissions from vehicles as well as from residential wood burning. A multiple linear regression model was used to evaluate the trends in air pollution over multiple time scales: by year, by season, by day of the week and by time of day. The model was applied to 18 years of measurements in Fresno including hourly mole fractions of NOx and concentrations of PM2.5; and daily measurements of speciated components of PM2.5. The analysis shows that there have been reductions in NOx, elemental carbon and ammonium nitrate of 4 to 6%/year. On weekends, NOx mole fractions are reduced by 15 to 30% due to fewer vehicle miles traveled and a smaller fraction of diesel traffic. These weekend reductions in NOx have not been accompanied by weekend reductions in PM2.5 however. In particular, elemental and organic carbon concentrations are higher on winter weekends. Analysis of diurnal profiles suggests that this is because of increased PM2.5 on Saturday and holiday evenings which are likely due to residential wood combustion. Furthermore, while organic carbon concentrations have decreased in the winter months, they have been variable but without a net decline in the summer, most likely as a result of forest fires offsetting other improvements in air quality. Fog was found to greatly enhance ammonium nitrate formation and was therefore associated with higher PM2.5 in the winter months. Overall the analysis shows that air quality controls have been effective at reducing NOx all year and PM2.5 in the winter, that continued reductions in emissions will further reduce pollutant concentrations, but that winter residential wood combustion and summer forest fires could offset some of the gains obtained.
E Pluribus Unum: The Fungal Kingdom as a Rosetta Stone for Biology and Medicine
Authors: Heitman Joseph
Published: November 2019

THE Genetics Society of America’s (GSA’s) Edward Novitski Prize recognizes a single experimental accomplishment or a body of work in which an exceptional level of creativity, and intellectual ingenuity, has been used to design and execute scientific experiments to solve a difficult problem in genetics. The 2019 recipient is Joseph Heitman, who is recognized for his work on fungal pathogens of humans and for ingenious experiments using yeast to identify the molecular targets of widely used immunosuppressive drugs. The latter work, part of Heitman’s postdoctoral research, proved to be a seminal contribution to the discovery of the conserved Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway. In his own research group, a recurring theme has been the linking of fundamental insights in fungal biology to medically important problems. His studies have included defining fungal mating-type loci, including their evolution and links to virulence, and illustrating convergent transitions from outcrossing to inbreeding in fungal pathogens of plants and animals. He has led efforts to establish new genetic and genomic methods for studying pathogenesis in Cryptococcus species. Heitman’s group also discovered unisexual reproduction, a novel mode of fungal reproduction with implications for pathogen evolution and the origins of sexual reproduction.
Reflexiones para la construcción de la epistemología ambiental en el siglo XXI.
Authors: López-Castro Eder Orlando
Published: November 2019

La temática ambiental en el siglo XXI ha tenido diversidad de posturas sobre todo por la interdisciplinariedad y multidisciplinariedad de los factores que permiten su abordaje, comprensión y explicación sobre la realidad socionatural a escala global y local, convirtiéndose en un factor indispensable para la construcción de la epistemología ambiental en este tiempo postmoderno. De ahí que, en este ensayo se enfoquen algunas ideas en cuanto a los fundamentos históricos que incorporan el tema de la globalización, modernidad, racionalidad ambiental de Leff y el desarrollo sustentable del informe Brundtland como un importante apartado internacional ante una diversidad de acciones antrópicas generadas durante el siglo XX que han contribuido con alterar el equilibrio en la dinámica de los ecosistemas. A su vez, reconocer algunos problemas que plantea Boff en el apartado “La carta de la tierra” relacionados con la sobreexplotación de los recursos, ecología, pensamiento mercantilista, economicista y el modelo capitalista depredador que no sólo ha afectado el sistema natural sino también el sistema social. Por esa razón, es que estas reflexiones se llevan a cabo para tener una visión holística entre el ser humano- sociedad- naturaleza y sus implicaciones en la dinámica de este nuevo siglo con compromiso ético basado en la responsabilidad ciudadana, la participación y la toma de decisiones en el campo de la política, cultura, economía, bajo los esquemas de la racionalidad que apunten hacia una sustentabilidad del planeta en todas sus dimensiones. Finalmente, con este texto reconocer el papel que tiene la educación para la construcción de la epistemología ambiental, el estudio del pensamiento complejo y el escenario en que se encuentran los nuevos retos para lograr la transformación de un modelo civilizatorio comprometido con la naturaleza, el planeta tierra “nuestra casa común” y el desarrollo humano.

This study employed water mite (Acari, Hydrachnidia) species collected from a natural lake water environment. These
species included Hydrodroma despiciens, Eylais infundibulifera, Hydryphantes flexiosus, Georgella helvatica, Hygrobates
nigromacutlatus, Hydryphantes thoni ve Torrenticola bevirostris. Chemical analyses of these species were conducted using
the Fourier infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) technique. Solid phase IR spectra were made individually for each species.
The data obtained for all species were examined graphically and were identified in four different spectral regions. Finally,
the spectrum frequency ranges of these species were determined. The functional groups OH, C-H, C=O, C-O, and C-N
were observed. The vibrational frequencies of each species studied were determined. When evaluating the results of the
spectroscopic analysis, the range of the spectrum of these species was shown to be similar to one another; however, peak
intervals were different for each species
Ante la indiferencia: Representaciones visuales que reafirman cómo la decepción utópica se vuelve distópica
Authors: Garðarsdóttir Hólmfríður
Published: November 2019

Faced with indifference: Visual representations that endorse utopian expectations turning dystopic.

Every year, in an attempt to reach the United States, hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants from Central America cross Mexico atop freight trains that are referred to by names such as “The Beast” or “The Train of Death.”  Driven by extreme economic conditions, civil unrest and violence in their home countries, and, in some cases, the desire to reunite with relatives already living in the United States, adult individuals, families, and even unaccompanied children and adolescents embark on this perilous journey. In doing so, they risk falling victim to abuse, extortion, sexual assault, and other forms of violence at the hands of brutal gangs, organized crime, and corrupt officials. Many lose their lives. 

This study examines various aspects of the passage of undocumented Central American migrants through Mexico, viewing the situation from the perspective of human rights violations and social exclusion. It addresses the specifics and realities of the migrants’ dangerous journey north, and reviews the main factors that lead these people, who are mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, to leave their home countries in search of better conditions and a chance to live what they regard as the American Dream.

The experiences of Central American migrants have been the subject of several documentary films which provide both a narrative and visual representation of the journey north through Mexico. This study will analyze a series of documentaries as well as the feature films Sin nombre (2009) y La jaula de oro (2013) and consider whether the films accurately illustrate the harsh realities that undocumented migrants face while attempting to reach the United States and the extent to which they provide insight into their lives and experiences.
Blinatumomab for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: The First Bispecific T-Cell Engager Antibody to Be Approved by the EMA for Minimal Residual Disease

Published: November 2019

On November 15, 2018, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommended the extension of indication for blinatumomab to include the treatment of adults with minimal residual disease (MRD) positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Blinatumomab was authorized to treat relapsed or refractory B-precursor ALL, and the change concerned an extension of use. On March 29, 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to blinatumomab to treat both adults and children with B-cell precursor ALL who are in remission but still have MRD. On July 26, 2018, the CHMP had originally adopted a negative opinion on the extension. The reason for the initial refusal was that although blinatumomab helped to reduce the amount of residual cancer cells in many patients, there was no strong evidence that it led to improved survival. During the re-examination, the CHMP consulted the scientific advisory group. The CHMP agreed with the expert group's conclusion that, although there was no strong evidence of patients living longer, the available data from the main study (MT103-203) indicated a good durable response to blinatumomab, with an overall complete response rate for the primary endpoint full analysis set (defined as all subjects with an Ig or T-cell receptor polymerase chain reaction MRD assay with the minimum required sensitivity of 1 × 10–4 at central lab established at baseline [n = 113]) as 79.6% (90/113; 95% confidence interval, 71.0–86.6), with a median time to complete MRD response of 29.0 days (range, 5–71). Therefore, the CHMP concluded that the benefits of blinatumomab outweigh its risks and recommended granting the change to the marketing authorization.

The Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products, following reassessment, considered that significant benefit continued to be met and recommended maintaining the orphan designation and thus 10 years market exclusivity (the Orphan Designation is a legal procedure that allows for the designation of a medicinal substance with therapeutic potential for a rare disease, before its first administration in humans or during its clinical development). The marketing authorization holder for this medicinal product is Amgen Europe B.V.

Amaç:
Opioidler, güçlü analjezik etkilerinden dolayı ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan
önemli ilaçlardandır. Bununla birlikte sağlık çalışanlarında tespit edilen opiofobiye bağlı olarak 
ağrı tedavisinde opioid kullanımı istenen seviyelerde değildir. Bu
çalışmada amaç, hemşirelerin ağrı tedavisinde opioid kullanımına yönelik tutum
ve yaklaşımlarıyla, bu tutum ve yaklaşımların ağrı tedavisine etkisini belirlemektir.            Gereç ve Yöntem: Etik kurul onayı alındıktan
sonra Ankara Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde çalışan
ve anketin yapıldığı süre içerisinde izinli olmayan bütün hemşirelere
ulaşılması hedeflendi. 31
sorudan oluşan anket formunu toplam 300 hemşire gönüllü olarak doldurmak
istedi. 101 adet anket formu %33,6 katılım oranı ile doldurulmuş olarak teslim
alındı. Veri analizi  için SPSS 15.0
istatistik paket programı kullanıldı.            Bulgular: Çalışmaya
katılan 101 hemşirenin %80’i hastalara opioid tedavisi uygularken tedirgin
olduğunu belirtmiştir. Bu tedirginliğin ana sebebi, opioidlerin potansiyel yan
etkileri ve bağımlılık riski olarak tespit edildi. Hemşirelerin %67,6’sı
opioidlerin yalnızca kanser hastalarında kullanılması gerektiğini düşünmektedir.
Hemşirelerin %58’i denetime tabi ilaçlardan olduğundan yasal sorumluluk almamak
adına opioidleri hastalara uygulamak istemediğini belirtmiştir. Hemşirelerin
%82’si hastalar opioid ilaç kullanmak istemezse bu konuda hastaları
desteklediklerini belirtmiştir. Hemşirelerin %36,1’i opioid grubu olmayan
bazı  ilaçları opioid grubu olarak
bilmektedir.

            Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, opioid kullanımı ile ilgili olarak,
hemşirelerde yetersiz bilgi ve önyargıların olduğu sonucuna ulaşıldı. Bu
nedenle, opioidlerle ilgili hemşirelere verilecek eğitimlerin gereklilik
olduğunu ve bu eğitimlerin düzenli olarak verilmesi gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly control tactic based on the sequential, inundative releases of sterile insects in a targeted area. Recently, this technique has been suggested as a potential complementary control method as part of an area-wide insect pest management program (AW-IPM) against D. suzukii. One of the key issues for the SIT application is to determine the radiation dose since the doses used to induce reproductive sterility can vary between sexes and among species. Treating insects with a lower oxygen atmosphere before and during exposure to radiation can mitigate some of the negative physiological effects due to the irradiation. The irradiation of pupae under the oxygen-reduced environments such as hypoxia is routinely used in the SIT operational programs of some tephritid species as it provides radiological protection. This treatment allows to have the sterile pupae already in sealed containers to facilitate their shipment. Therefore, it is crucial to study the effects of irradiation on the reproductive sterility in D. suzukii males and females under low-oxygen atmosphere (hypoxia) compare to normal oxygen level conditions (normoxia). This protocol describes step-by-step the irradiation of D. suzukii pupae under hypoxia and normoxia atmosphere conditions. This protocol may be utilized for a further assessment concerning the quality of the sterile versus non-sterile D. suzukii adults such as laboratory and/or field behavioral studies. Additionally, the description of the hypoxia treatment in this protocol may allow for the evaluation of the handling and release processes of the sterile males. The adoption of this protocol by different laboratories should increase further studies for the applicability of SIT on D. suzukii or for continuing assessments to improve SIT technology and decrease the variability in data between different studies.

The Relationship between Affectivity and Self-efficacy for the Learning of Mathematical Contents
Authors: Damasceno da Silva José Roberto
Published: November 2019

The causal attributions and dimensions and the academic self-efficacy permeated by the affectivity are fundamental for the school achievement of the undergraduate student. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between affectivity and academic self-efficacy of 115 students (39 from the Computer Science course, 41 from the Civil Engineering course and 35 from the Electrical Engineering course of the Federal University of Mato Grosso). A questionnaire with 10 questions was made using the Likert scale, where the first two questions assessed the interference of the previous contents on the learning of mathematical contents, three evaluated the level of student's academic self-efficacy, the other two assessed some origins of the beliefs of the student's academic self-efficacy, the last question evaluated the relationship between effort and academic self-efficacy, and questions 4 and 5, the focus of this research, directly assessed the relationship between affectivity and academic self-efficacy. The results pointed to a protagonist role of affectivity in relation to academic self-efficacy and a confirmation that the effort continues to be the highlight for students' belief in academic self-efficacy.
Conceptions and Perceptions of Pre-service Teachers on the use of Paradidactic Books in Chemistry Teaching
Authors: Kurz Débora Luana , Piva Lucilene , Bedin Everton
Published: November 2019

This research aimed to investigate the conception of chemistry pre-service teachers in the use of para-didactic books in the teaching of Chemistry, with emphasis on questions related to learning mechanisms, didactic strategies and discussion in the classroom. In the methodology, a questionnaire structured in two axes was used as a data collection instrument, which was made available to students of the Chemistry course of a community university in Canoas, metropolitan region of Porto Alegre/RS. This questionnaire, as an empirical part of this article, was analyzed in the light of Bardin's Content Analysis (2011), and its qualitative and quantitative data are expressed through figures and tables. In the data representation, after analysis and interpretation, through the conceptions of the undergraduate students, the importance of the use of this resource in pedagogical practices was verified, corroborating, in addition to the teaching and learning processes, with the improvement of teaching and, mainly , with the contextualization of scientific knowledge in the light of the socio-cultural knowledge of the student. Thus, based on the paradigmatic book, advances in school actions are expected to build and experience a new contextualized and meaningful narrative to the student, also contributing to the way of teaching and learning of the different teachers, providing them with a tool that has the scientific, epistemological and social foundation.
The General Competences in the Common National Curriculum Base and It’s Relation With Mathematics: Conceptions Of Primary School Pedagogical Supervisors
Authors: Pertile Karine , Reuwsaat Justo Jutta Cornelia
Published: November 2019

This study is a part of doctorate research about the contributions of the continuous education of primary school teachers of mathematics in the Common National Curriculum Base. For such purpose, was established a discussion group made of 10 pedagogical supervisors of the early basic education city's municipal education system in the countryside of the Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil who could, during ten meetings, discuss, analyze and reflect over the proposal of the Common National Curriculum Base for primary school. At first, the participants of the group discussed over the Common National Curriculum Base proposed competences in the fields of mathematics. The article, therefore, discusses the concepts of a discussion group composed of primary school pedagogical supervisors about the general competences for elementary school presented on Common National Curriculum Base and its relations with mathematics. The group’s discussions were audio-recorded with the previous authorization of the participants. Through notes in the field researcher’s diary, the participants’ behaviors, inquiries, action, and reflections were watched and analyzed during the meetings. Although the group participants made consistent considerations about how to support student´s skill development it was found that some notes do not conform to the focus of competences or the participants do not realize that they do not apply to the learning process, that is to say, are focused on the student. This emphasizes the need for continuous education about the Common National Curriculum Base for the working early basic education teachers.
Robotics Simulators in STEM education
Authors: Homa Agostinho Iaqchan Ryokiti
Published: November 2019

This article discusses STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education as an initiative from various countries around the world to address young people's lack of interest in careers in Science, Mathematics, Technology and Engineering. Understanding that STEM education must explore two or more of STEM themes, using transdisciplinarity, engaging the student in activities with this approach, we present the studies of an activity proposal integrating Engineering, Technology and Mathematics with the objective of learning Mathematics. In this activity students work with situations involving robotics and, for solution, use robotic arm simulators, developed in GeoGebra software, that simplify the real environment in which the robotic arm manipulates an object positioned in the plane, taking to organize strategies by identifying and applying mathematics, such as trigonometry with right triangle, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, to solve the problem. An experiment was conducted to validate the simulators with undergraduate mathematics students from Universidade Luterana do Brasil (ULBRA) in the city of Canoas in Rio Grande do Sul. The results indicate that it is possible to integrate the STEM areas with the developed simulators, being indicated for activities with high school students (10th or 11th grade).
Relationship Between Values and Career Orientations in Modern Adolescents

Published: November 2019

The article explores the relationship between values and orientations of the digital generation. The psychodiagnostic survey was conducted in 2018 on a sample of 120 subjects aged 15—16 years. We used Edgar Schein’s Career Anchors questionnaire and Shalom Schwartz’s Value Survey. Our hypothesis was that the dominant values (both social and personal) are interrelated with the leading career orientations of adolescents. Basing on the obtained results we conclude that the prevailing values of the digital generation (both social and personal) are “preservation” and “care for others”. The leading career orientations of adolescents are “service”, “autonomy” and “integration of lifestyles”. The desire for professional competence, autonomy in career, invention and management are connected, first of all, with hedonistic values. At the same time, such social values as “care for one's immediate environment” and “willingness to experience the depth of emotion” are peripheral. There is a discrepancy in the established links between career orientations and values (both social and personal): the same career orientations are caused by different values. It can be explained as follows: (i) adolescents’ perception of their actions contradicts their own behavior; (ii) the digital generation is under pressure to pursue the values reinforced by the reference groups and traditions.
Motivational and Emotional Attitude to Studying in High School Students of Different Sex and Age
Authors: Vartanova I.I.
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this work was to study sex and age characteristics of emotional reflection of objects-values of school life in high school students. Experimental identification of the structure of the emotional-motivational profile was carried out using a factor analysis of assessments of 10 objects of school life according to the system of 25 adjective pairs in accordance with the Semantic Dif ferential scale. The analysis was conducted separately for each of the four groups of schoolchildren (two schools in Moscow with the traditional training paradigm): the younger group (8—9 grades, 14—15 years old) boys (52) and girls (57), the older groups (10—11 classes, 16—17 years old) boys (96) and girls (100).This made it possible to identify and describe the structure and qualitative specificity of the emotional relationship of high school students of different sex and age. It is revealed that with age there is a tendency of differentiation and transformation of the content of certain motives: for boys in the sphere of self-affirmation and for girls in the sphere of affiliation and status motivation. Obligation motivation (learning as a necessity) turned out to be similar for groups of boys and girls and varies insignificantly with age.
