Generalized Cauchy process based on heavy-tailed distribution and grey relational analysis for reliability predicting of distribution systems
Authors: Gao Jun , Wu Fei , Yasen Yakufu , Song Wanqing , Ren Lijia
Published: April 2022

Failure interruption often causes large blackouts in power grids, severely impacting critical functions. Because of the randomness of power failure, it is difficult to predict the leading causes of failure. ASAI, an essential indicator of power-supply reliability, can be measured from the outage time series. The series is non-stationary stochastic, which causes some difficulty in analyzing power-supply reliability. Considering that the time series has long-range dependence (LRD) and self-similarity, this paper proposes the generalized Cauchy (GC) process for the prediction. The case study shows that the proposed model can predict reliability with a max absolute percentage error of 8.28%. Grey relational analysis (GRA) has proved to be an effective method for the degree of correlation between different indicators. Therefore, we propose the method, which combines both GC and GRA to obtain the correlation coefficients between different factors and ASAI and to get the main factors based on this coefficient. The case study illustrates the feasibility of this approach, which power enterprises can employ to predict power-supply reliability and its influencing factors and help them identify weaknesses in the grid to inform employees to take protective measures in advance.

Published: April 2022

As serious games are nowadays more frequently used for learning purposes in different domains, the success of the tasks in the organization depends on the stakeholders' training and capabilities, and in the emergency management domain, this is no exception. Accordingly, stakeholders in emergency management need adequate training to respond effectively to an incident. Their perception of safety is a goal for organizations, and proper training could ensure their adequate participation in the activities of emergency plan management. This chapter presents a serious game for training stakeholders to respond to emergency incidents designed to optimize the costs involved. For this purpose, a tool was developed that allowed the learning process to be evaluated through an experiment with a group of workers in an organization. The results obtained were found to be valuable assessments of the learning objectives and showed that serious games contributed to improving continuous training in organizations.

Published: April 2022

The video game market has been experiencing constant growth throughout the last decade, especially after 2008 with the rise of mobile gaming and after 2016 with virtual and augmented reality technologies. As a result of the ever-growing applications of games, the rehabilitation process of disabilities caused by stroke, cerebral palsy, and other neurological diseases has incorporated games designed to assist recovery. Based on these facts, this chapter deals with the development of two serious games designed to be integrated with two structures: ReGear, a new design for interlimb rehabilitation mechanisms, and HOPE-G, a novel gait rehabilitation structure capable of balance training. Both systems apply assist-as-needed control techniques to improve the outcomes of the treatment. The first clinical trials in one of the structures were conducted on a group of healthy volunteers and another with post-stroke patients, showing encouraging results regarding the serious game and the mechanical design.

Published: April 2022

The circular economy has gained attention in recent years as a sustainable alternative to the current linear economic model. Supply chains have an essential role in the transition towards a circular economy. However, the transition towards circular supply chains is challenging for companies due to the lack of knowledge and awareness among the supply chain members. In order to overcome this barrier, the CircuSChain Game was developed based on the well-known Beer Distribution Game. The CircuSChain Game is a multi-player board game supported by a calculation sheet. The game considers reuse, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling activities within closed-and open-loops, as well as CO2 emissions and material scarcity concepts. An experiment was conducted with industrial engineering students in order to test the CircuSChain Game and assess its educational value, game pace, entertainment value, and simplicity.

Authors: García-Orosa Berta , Vázquez-Herrero Jorge , López-García Xosé
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Innovation has not only modified routines and professional profiles, but also raises questions about public legitimacy and the institutional character of journalism as a political actor with the emergence of new actors, such as digital platforms and their algorithms, and the reconfiguration of the communicative space. This article aims to present the foundations of the relationship between journalism and politics today, along with future trends. Methodology: It does so through a study developed in February 2020–February 2021 in Spain based on methodological triangulation that includes, in addition to the literature review, a survey of journalists, a survey of citizens and a panel of experts with researchers in the area. Discussion: The results confirm journalists as a filter between society and politics, although the citizens are critical. Conclusions: Some dangerous trends for democracy are revealed: the choice of media agenda items in political parties, low audience participation, the concealment of the importance of algorithms and digital platforms, and the high automation of information to influence public opinion and generate disinformation.

Pediatricians and odontopediatricians commonly encounter numerous tumors in the oral cavity of infants and children, which may be presented as hamartomas and congenital malformations or even true neoplasms. Hence, this literature review aimed to describe the main non-cystic and non-odontogenic tumor alterations found in the oral cavity of children to help pediatric dentists diagnose and choose the appropriate treatment; this study was based on the scholarly content disclosure database. The articles found in this review were collected in the following databases: Scielo, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search used the articles published on the theme based on the keywords referring to the subject. In the articles that were included in this study, we observed the degree of relevance to the academic environment, classical evidence, and recent articles published on the subject. It was possible to conclude that most tumors found in the oral cavity of children are benign, and surgical removal has been the primary means of treatment. Thus, it is important to emphasize the importance of a correct diagnosis to assess the type, size, and extent of these lesions and the risks caused during treatment before any procedure.

We should put into consideration that some humans are genetically more susceptible to develop type 2 diabetes than others. Of them, transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) is the gene which is more accusative. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Inhibitors (DPP-4 inhibitors) are considered as a comparatively new class of anti hyperglycemic drugs, the first agent of this group was approved by FDA in 2006. This group known as gliptins work in a physiological manner, as we all know ,enteroendocrine l cells in the intestine produce glucagon-like peptide-1,a hormone acting on glp1 receptors on pancreatic beta cells, leading to physiological insulin release. Dpp 4 inhibitors are classified into 3 classes according to subsite interaction in the dpp4 enzyme. Materials and methods: 200 patients of type2 diabetes mellitus followed in a private clinic for 6 months in observational prospective study. Results: The results of our study show that turnover of dpp4 inhibitors in treatment of type 2 diabetes decrease hba1c and improve treatment outcomes. Conclusion: Dpp4 inhibitors turnover in diabetes mellitus treatment give a good control of type 2 diabetes better than using on drug for a long time.

Published: April 2022

One of the most effective methods of preventing the danger caused by the impact of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic chemicals on humans is to establish the risk of undesirable effects in order to further development methods to minimize it. The purpose of this study is to establish the magnitude of the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk caused by the intake of heavy metals when consuming potatoes and vegetables grown within the agro-residential landscapes of Gorki, as well as when contaminants enter the human body by the oral, inhalation and percutaneous route directly from the soil. It has been established that the maximum contribution to the exposure of Cu, Zn, Mn and Cd entering the body of the adult population of the city of Gorki is made by beetroot, potatoes and white cabbage. Table carrots and potatoes make the maximum contribution to the exposure of Cu and Cd for the child population, while the main sources of Zn, Mn, and Pb intake are potatoes and white cabbage. The total level of carcinogenic risk from the consumption of potatoes and vegetables due to such carcinogens as Pb and Cd is estimated as average according to the international criterion scale. The non-carcinogenic risk to the health of both adults and children due to inhalation, oral and percutaneous intake of heavy metals from contaminated soil is assessed as negligible, and the carcinogenic risk is at an acceptable level. The results of the studies performed can be used to develop a risk management strategy for the population due to pollution of urban soils, potatoes and vegetables with heavy metals, providing for the sequential passage of the following stages: comparative assessment and ranking of risk; determination of risk acceptability levels; risk reduction and control; response to risk.

Published: April 2022

Studies of sod-podzolic soils of forest and agricultural lands in the zone of impact of the enterprise for the production of building materials have shown that gas and dust emissions significantly affect the content of heavy metals in soils. The assessment of the content of gross forms of heavy metals in sod-podzolic soils of forest and agricultural lands adjacent to the territory of JSC «Krasnoselskstroymaterialy» showed widespread soil contamination with cadmium, arsenic and zinc. Soil contamination of forest and agricultural lands with lead is fragmentary. The highest occurrence of samples with an excess of hygienic standards for soils of forest lands was established for gross forms of zinc, and for soils of agricultural lands - for gross forms of cadmium and arsenic. The assessment of mobile forms of metals revealed soil contamination mainly with zinc and lead. Soil contamination with cadmium is insignificant and is fragmentary. It should be noted that the sod-podzolic soils of agricultural lands in the north-eastern direction from the enterprise are characterized by a high level of contamination with mobile forms of zinc and lead. The studies did not reveal an excess of the maximum permissible safe levels of cadmium and lead content in wheat grain and straw, however, the maximum concentrations of these elements in plants of this crop were on average 25-60 % higher in some areas compared to those in control areas, which indicates the presence of local zones in which there is an increased accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural plants. In this regard, it is necessary to organize monitoring of the quality of crop production for the content of heavy metals in the zone of influence of JSC «Krasnoselskstroymaterialy».
Difusión de choques de productividad en redes productivas con competencia imperfecta y quiebra de empresas
Authors: Ramírez-Álvarez José , Pérez-Oviedo Wilson
Published: April 2022

La red productiva representa un mecanismo económico clave para comprender cómo los choques microeconómicos se propagan en el sistema económico. En esta línea se han desarrollo diversos trabajos teóricos bajo el supuesto de libre competencia, sin considerar el poder de mercado ni la posible quiebra de empresas. El presente documento estudia la difusión de choques de productividad en redes productivas con competencia imperfecta y quiebra de empresas. Para ello, se asume que las empresas pueden fijar el precio de su producto, tomando en cuenta que los precios inciden en la posibilidad de que sus compradores los contraten. Este hecho supone que las transacciones comerciales podrían fallar, a causa, por ejemplo, de que los productos no tienen la calidad o características esperadas, lo que generaría pérdidas para el comprador. En este contexto, el comprador no solo busca el mayor beneficio esperado, sino también el menor riesgo de pérdida, lo que lo lleva a asignar una probabilidad de contratación a cada proveedor. Por otro lado, la quiebra de empresas se representa mediante un proceso estocástico en el que aquellas empresas con peor desempeño durante el tiempo tienen mayores posibilidades de salir de la industria. Los resultados muestran distintos efectos cascada sobre los precios y las cantidades que se transan en la red productiva, ante choques de productividad negativos. En particular, se encuentra un efecto cascada “aguas arriba” en la quiebra de las empresas durante el transcurso del tiempo, el cual se trasmite exclusivamente hacia los proveedores de menor riesgo en la red.

Filosofía de la enseñanza de la Geografía

Resumen

Este texto ensaya la construcción de una enseñanza de Filosofía de la Geografía. Inspirándose en la perspectiva crítica de Immanuel Kant, intenta pensar este proyecto a través de cuatro pautas operativas: 1) discutir un uso cauteloso de la razón, frente a los límites del conocimiento; 2) problematizar los conceptos desde un análisis histórico, enredados en relaciones de poder-conocimiento; 3) relacionar la enseñanza con la noción kantiana de emancipación; 4) Conjeturar la enseñanza de la Geografía como taller conceptual. A partir de estos desplazamientos no se pretende la constitución de un campo hermético forjado a costa de una restricción teórico-metodológica, sino cuestionar una geografía escolar autónoma, que piensa en sí misma para emanciparse a sí misma ya los demás.

Published: April 2022

The review article examines cases of violence and aggression against health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Violence and aggression represent a series of behaviors or actions that can lead to doing harm or causing injury to another person, regardless of whether it is a physical or verbal action, whether physical harm has been done or an intention has been expressed. The cases of violence in various countries of the world are described, general statistics on these cases is shown. First of all, these cases come from patients and relatives of patients. The pandemic and acts of violence also affect health workers, increasing the onset of anxiety disorders in them. Nurses and junior service personnel are most often subjected to violence, as they spend most of their time directly with patients. It has been confirmed that medical workers of the ambulance, emergency and intensive care units, traumatology and surgery units often face violence. Systematic reviews show that the main risk factors are long waiting times, inconsistencies between patients' expectations and services, substance abuse by the patient and mental disorders. The article gives examples of how to protect medical workers from violence and aggression, to prevent outbreaks of discontent among patients and their relatives.

Published: April 2022

Further development of legislation ensuring the development of Russian education in line with global trends means the need for a supra-sectoral approach to the legal regulation of this sphere. Harmonization of the educational space provided by the Bologna Accord, development of new forms of interaction between universities, implementation of new educational models, including project training, work in interdisciplinary teams, determine the need for new formats of international scientific research as well. Educational legislation no longer provides an answer to many challenges of the time, a significant breakthrough is required in the legal regulation of scientific interaction of an interethnic nature, including the state level. In the context of globalization processes, the concept of scientific space, which has several definitions, is becoming increasingly common. The main characteristics that can be distinguished are "interaction of research centers and schools", "environment for ensuring the functioning and development of science and technology", in a more general perspective – "mobile system". Scientific cooperation involves interaction at several levels: interstate, regional and interregional, interdepartmental, at the level of relations between scientific organizations, research teams, educational institutions, scientists. Based on previous research on the structure of the scientific space, the authors attempted to develop an idea of scientific and technical space in terms of its legal regulation on the example of various regional economic cooperation organizations (EU, SCO, ASEAN). Among common challenges that are a logical consequence of scientific cooperation, the authors' research interest is also attracted by the problems of intellectual property rights protection and digitalization of relations in modern society. It is noted that a comprehensive legal entity, known in legal circulation as digital (information) law is becoming the instrument of regulation in the new conditions.the new conditions.

Authors: Arkhipova Valentina A.
Published: April 2022

The relevance of this study lies in the fact that in modern conditions offshore business has become an important part of the global and national economies, where significant capital is concentrated, which can have a huge impact on the economic and political situation in the world. The article studies the problems of offshore territories' functioning in the world and Russian practice. The evolution of the creating offshore territories, their types and features of functioning are examined. Based on the methods of system-oriented approach and statistical analysis, the current state of offshore territories in the world and the Russian Federation is investigated. The advantages and problems of offshore zones functioning in domestic and world practice are reviewed. The positive effect of the activities carried out by offshore territories in recipient countries is to create a favorable investment climate, to increase investment volumes, as well as to result in positive consequences for the national economy. Uncontrolled and unjustified use of offshore business can lead to capital outflow and create threats to the economic security of national and global economies. Taking into account the growing scale of offshore business in the world, measures have been proposed to implement a de-offshorisation policy in order to counter flight of capital through offshore territories. Based on studying the foreign experience, the problems and prospects of using offshore zones by the Russian economy have been identified.
IMPROVEMENT OF PERSONNEL POLICY IN PUBLIC SERVICE
Authors: Petrova Svetlana V.
Published: April 2022

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that there is a need to transform the personnel policy and personnel technologies in the public service. At this, it is necessary to revise the elements of personnel policy for the public sector. To improve the efficiency of personnel technologies in the state civil service of the Chuvash Republic, we propose to use the experience of the civil service and personnel department of other regions. The purpose is a detailed analysis of modern state personnel policy in the public service. The scientific novelty of the work represents proposals for improving the personnel policy in the public service, taking into account other regional practices. The author studied the practice of compliance with the legislation on the civil service in various areas, compiled a table on the problems of personnel policy in the civil service and measures to solve them. At this, the database "Best personnel practices in the state civil and municipal service" (2015–2019) was reviewed. The experience of organizing complex work on personnel management in Leningrad region is interesting. To develop the personnel policy in the public service, it was proposed to introduce the sector of corporate culture and social and labor relations not only in the public service in the Chuvash Republic, but in other regions as well. Currently, the approach to personnel policy in the public service is too formal. There is a tendency to change the approach to personnel policy in the public service in terms of its flexibility and there is a need to improve it. This is evidenced by the various practices of implementing the personnel policy in the public service at the regional levels. Thus, the approach to personnel policy may be different, one of which is proposed in this article.
CONSTRUCTION OF SURSKY DEFENSIVE LINE AND KAZAN DEFENSIVE PERIMETER AS ONE OF THE WORK-STREAMS OF THE COUNCIL OF PEOPLE’S COMMISSARS OF THE CHUVASH ASSR (1941–1942)
Authors: Uchvatov Pavel S.
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this article is to consider one of the priority work-streams of the Council of People’s Commissars (CPC) – the Government of the Autonomous Republic on organizing and maintenance of special fortifications construction in 1941–1942. The CPC of the Chuvash ASSR is taken as an example, on the territory of which fortifications of Sursky defensive line and Kazan defensive perimeter were held. Recently, the history of constructing Sursky frontier and other defensive lines in the territory of the Volga regions in the initial period of the Great Patriotic War has aroused great interest from historians. The published scientific papers raise various aspects concerning the construction of fortifications and related labor exploits of the Soviet people. However, many details, including the work of the CPC and other regional authorities to ensure construction, still require systematization and further analysis. The article uses specific examples to present the main aspects of the CPC work-streams aimed at achieving the goal of erecting fortified lines on time. Conclusions are drawn about the multidimensional nature of the work carried out by the regional government, which controlled various aspects of construction, including mobilization, supply of the mobilized with food and essential goods, provision of construction sites with materials and other resources, maintenance of labor discipline. When preparing the scientific publication, the methodological basis was made by the comprehensive analysis of historical information, the historical-systematic method, the method of content analysis, and others.

Published: April 2022

Abstract

Patent is an important outcome of technological innovation. Though patent claim always caught attention when considering patent quality, it had to be supported by the drawings according to the patent examination criteria. However, patent drawing was seldom discussed. Based on the company integrated database, more than 50% of China listed companies of RMB common stocks (A-shares) from 2017Q1 to 2021Q4 were selected as effective samples. The effect of China utility model grant patent’s drawing count for differentiating A-share’s stock return rate was thoroughly discussed via analysis of variation (ANOVA). The average drawing count and the total drawing count of utility model grants significantly increased over previous five years. The total drawing count of utility model grants was found to be an appropriate patent indicator for differentiating A-share’s stock return rate whereas the average drawing count was not. The A-shares in the highest total drawing count groups of utility model grants showed significantly higher stock return rate means while the A-shares in the lower total drawing count groups showed significantly lower stock return rate means mostly from 2017Q1 to 2021Q4. The finding also proved that the utility model grant’s patent quantity still mattered in China stock market.

Published: April 2022

We present this case of a 50-year-old man with no previous history of COVID-19 infection or recent viral or bacterial infections who presented as a case of Guillain-Barre syndrome 10 days after he received the COVID-19 vaccination. The diagnosis has been made on the basis of physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, and electromyography (EMG). The reported cases of GBS following vaccination supported the theory of molecular mimicry as an underlying pathophysiology for this disorder. However, research has not yet identified the exact mechanism at the molecular level. In the best of our knowledge, this is the first case from Palestine to be reported. We hope that our report will encourage further research on this issue and warn medical professionals to consider GBS as a possible diagnosis in patients who present with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) after vaccination with COVID19.

Published: April 2022

A comprehensive search was carried out in mainstream bibliographic databases or Medical Subject Headings, including ScienDirect, PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science. The search was applied to the articles that were published between 2004 and early 2022. With strict literature search and screening processes, it yielded 4 articles from 142 articles of initial literature database. In oral cavity, tongue has the highest angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) expression and lesser amounts in the other oral tissues, oral mucosa, including the gingival tissue. By Pre-incubation with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RBD, CTB-ACE 2 activity was absolutely inhibited, offering an the description for decreased saliva ACE 2 activity in COVID-19 patients. Through minimizing or debulking virus transmission, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)-trapping proteins proposes an affordable strategy for protecting people from most oral reinfection, whereas newly evolving strains have higher viral load in saliva and greater transmission. Delta variant viral load in a patient is about 1,260 times higher than those infected with previous strains. In conclusion, ACE 2 fusion proteins or chewing gum can be used as the rapid methods of decreasing SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) from saliva and oral cavity of the infected patients for minimizing infection and transmission, diagnosis, inhibitors, vaccine development, and therapy of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has started to appear in 2019, and has become an epidemic. Practices of quarantine, reported to have negative psychological effects in the past, have become widespread. In this study our aim was to examine the psychological conditions of individuals who were taken under quarantine. The sample of this study consisted of 42 individuals who came from Wuhan and were quarantined. All individuals were evaluated through questionnaires to provide psychological support to those in need during that process. Questionnaires were applied to all individuals on a voluntary basis and 30 questionnaires were evaluated. In the monitoring group, the difficulty caused by the risk of infection rather than quarantine stress appeared to be effective on anxiety and peritraumatic dissociation symptoms and at the end of quarantine, no difference has been observed in terms of traumatic stress levels and anxiety scores in the monitoring group compared to the beginning of quarantine. A need for psychosocial support may arise due to psychological impact related to risk of infectious diseases during quarantine practices.

Birden fazla giriş deliği olan intihar orijinli ateşli silah yaralanmaları tek giriş deliği olan intihar orijinli ateşli silah yaralanmasına bağlı ölümlere göre seyrek görülen ve görüldüğünde sıra dışı olarak nitelendirilen olgulardır. Bu çalışmada, Muğla Adli Tıp Şube Müdürlüğü tarafından 2013 ile 2019 yılları arasında ateşli silah yaralanması nedeniyle otopsi yapılan 226 olgu retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmamızda, bu olgulardan orijini intihar olan ve birden fazla giriş yarası olan iki olgunun sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Sunduğumuz 2 olguda da; ilk atışlar sonrası ölümcül organ yaralanması olmadığı ve kişilerin hareket etme kabiliyetlerinin azalması ya da durmasına etki edebilecek bir yaralanmaya sebebiyet vermediği için ikinci atışları yapabildikleri sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: April 2022

Bu çalışmada, omurga ağrılarının uçuş personelinde görülme sıklığının ve uçuş ortamında buna neden olabilecek predispozan faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kesitsel planlanan bu çalışma, 2012-2019 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Katılımcılara, demografik özelliklerinin, kullanmış oldukları hava taşıtı tipinin, uçuş saatlerinin, gece görüş gözlüğü (GGG) kullanma durumlarının, fiziksel aktivite durumlarının ve omurga ağrılarının sorgulandığı anket formu uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya, 22-52 (29.93±5.2) yaş arası 475 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Uçucu personelde boyun ağrısı sıklığı %5.89 (n=28), bel ağrı sıklığı %9.89 (n=47) olarak bulunmuştur. Bel ve boyun ağrılarına; yaş, hava taşıtının tipi, toplam uçuş saatleri, GGG kullanma durumları, düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve boyun egzersizi yapma gibi faktörlerin etki ettiği bulunmuştur. Bel ağrısı skorları ile yaş ve toplam uçuş saatleri arasında pozitif yönde düşük korelasyon (sırasıyla, r=0,134, r=0,177, p<0.05); düzenli fiziksel aktivite ile ise negatif yönde yüksek korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=-0,635, p<0.05). Erkek katılımcılarda bel ağrısı skorlarının helikopter pilotlarında yüksek olduğu (p<0.05) bulunmuştur. Bel ağrısı skorlarının 30-39 yaş arası, 3000 saat ve üzerinde uçuş saati olan ve GGG kullanan uçuş personelinde yüksek olduğu (p<0.05) tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, düzenli fiziksel aktivitede bulunanlarda bel ağrısı skorlarının düşük olduğu (p<0.05) saptanmıştır. Çalışmamızda boyun ağrısı sıklığının, boyun egzersizi yapmayanlarda da yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Çalışmamızda yaşın, uçulan hava aracı tipinin, toplam uçuş süresinin ve GGG kullanımının bel boyun ağrılarına etki ettiği, düzenli fiziksel aktivitelerde bulunulmasının bel-boyun ağrılarını azalttığı gösterilmiştir. Kişi ve yaşa özgü doğru fiziksel aktivite ve bel-boyun egzersizlerinin yapılması, omurga geometrisine ekstra yük bindiren her türlü ekipman kullanımında ergonomik kurallara riayet edilmesinin uçuş personelinin bel ve boyun ağrılarının önlenebilmesi ve azaltılabilmesinde yardımcı olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
Reinforcement Strategies in Group Dynamics
Authors: R K Vaithyanathan
Published: April 2022

This book introduces the reader to the concepts, research, and empirical findings associated with groups. Group Dynamics is more like a basecoat than a detailed handbook, taking samples of the outcomes of research activities into the essence of groups. However, still, it tries to incorporate theory and research, basic science and application, masterpiece and contemporary work, and psychological and sociological assessments of groups whenever possible. But why would anybody want to learn in a group in the first place? Why will you be concerned about the processes in active, dynamic groups? What makes them attractive? For what reasons is it essential to investigate theories that characterise these processes? Why is it necessary to keep expanding these assumptions to encompass more and more knowledge about groups? For the simple reason that groupings are significant. On a practical level, groups do most of the world's labour; consequently, knowing them will aid us in increasing their productivity. If we want to improve factory output, boardroom problem solving, or classroom learning, we must first understand groups and how they function. Racism, sexism, and international conflict are all societal concerns that may be resolved via the efforts of a group of people. Any attempt to transform society will be successful only if the groups that make up the social change as well. Individuals must be understood to comprehend why they think, feel, and act the way they do, which involves the usage of groups Since human behaviour is primarily a collective activity, people cannot be studied in isolation, away from their families, social cliques, workgroups, etc. It is impossible to communicate directly with individuals about traditions, values, and norms; instead, they operate via the communities to which everyone belongs. Groups are also significant because of the features that make them unique. You'll spend the rest of your life in groups, trying to get out of them, leading them, and transforming them into something better. Being a part of a group allows you to establish and confirm your beliefs and views, and it also allows you to take on or develop a social identity. When presented with unfamiliar circumstances, being in a group gives reassuring information about your problems and the group's security as a collective. You will learn about interpersonal interactions, the kind of impressions you make on others, and how to better engage with people while working in groups with your classmates. Groups have a significant effect on your life; consequently, you should not ignore their influence at your own expense. Keywords: Group, Group dynamics, Reinforcement Strategies

O interesse desta pesquisa é a educação de crianças através da investigação dos pressupostos da Psicologia e da Pedagogia que teve como objetivos identificar as teorias que abordam a cultura lúdica para o fortalecimento da formação humana de crianças; investigar, através de um levantamento teórico, conceitos de infância, brincar, brinquedo, brincadeira e brinquedoteca. Na metodologia, elaborou-se um levantamento bibliográfico de artigos publicados em revistas científicas, utilizando os bancos de teses e dissertações da Capes, nos artigos publicados pela SciELO e no Google Acadêmico. Os autores aprofundados do referencial teórico evidenciaram que os momentos lúdicos como jogos, brincadeira e recreação livre proporcionam a socialização infantil e o desenvolvimento de aprendizagem social sobre regras e condutas morais, além de demonstrar a importância de organizar espaços e recursos que favoreçam essas atividades. Através desta pesquisa, chegou-se à conclusão o quanto a ludicidade é importante para a socialização das crianças de qualquer cultura.
Metodologias e Professor Pesquisador – Caminhos Pós-modernos para uma Escola Socialmente Reconhecida
Authors: Da Cunha Silva Gildemberg , Orquiza de Carvalho Lizete Maria , Lanner de Moura Anna Regina
Published: April 2022

A esperança de dias melhores no tocante à educação propagada no fim do século XX e início deste século não refletiu a realidade pós-modernista. Este artigo consiste no extrato de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, em andamento, que estuda, a partir de olhares pós modernistas sobre o nosso tempo, quais metodologias o professor pode adotar, de modo a contribuir para uma visão de cidadania global e atitude questionadora de seu aluno. Num primeiro momento, busca-se caracterizar, com base na bibliografia disponível em diferentes bases de dados nacionais, as característica da modernidade e da pós-modernidade, tendo em vista a educação nesses dois períodos. Até este momento da pesquisa, foi possível perceber que a prática docente, na pós-modernidade, caracteriza-se por um profundo dilema entre práticas tradicionais e práticas capazes de dialogar com estudantes conectados e questionadores.
