Published: November 2024

This paper aims to identify the variables that best predict the perceived risk of romantic breakup or separation during COVID-19. We hypothesize that greater psychological distress and lower perceived equity, partner support, and satisfaction increase the perceived risk of separation from a partner. Participants (n = 409 Dominicans; 79.71% female) answered six questionnaires corresponding to the variables of the study. The original model could correctly classify 88.8% of the cases, χ2 (4) = 231.926, p
La escuela y la reproducción de la violencia hacia las niñas: un estudio de caso, San Agustín Loxicha, Oaxaca
Authors: Mendoza Benítez Sushima , García Jiménez Ricardo
Published: November 2024

La investigación trata de describir cómo la escuela primaria en el ámbito rural se convierte en un espacio que reproduce las condiciones de la violencia hacia las mujeres (niñas) en un municipio que ha estado permeado históricamente por formas de violencia diversa. El trabajo hizo uso de una revisión sistemática para la formación del estado del arte, además se utilizó el análisis descriptivo para identificar los factores que reproducen las violencias hacia las niñas que cursan este nivel educativo. Para ello se acudió a revisar la teoría de la reproducción social de Pierre Bourdieu que se relaciona con las observaciones y testimonios recabados en campo para sustentar la exposición. La indagación se plegó como un estudio de caso. A lo largo de la búsqueda se descubrió que detrás de las manifestaciones de violencia hacia las niñas por sus pares masculinos o por cualquier otro varón en la institución educativa esta se diversifico en formas de violencia como la física, psicológica y simbólica las cuales tienen raíces socioculturales. Con lo cual, la escuela funciona como un aparato ideológico y reproductor de los sistemas de opresión hacia las mujeres que se expresa como violencia hacia las niñas que normalizan en su cotidianidad. Se concluye que las manifestaciones de violencia que se producen en la escuela se trasmiten y se han aprendido en las diferentes generaciones de niñas que han cursado en esa institución educativa en el Estado de Oaxaca.

Published: November 2024

The management of social innovation projects and their relationship with sustainable development is a growing interest in the academic and professional spheres. This paper analyzes emerging trends at the intersection of environmental sustainability and social innovation project management. It sought to identify meaningful dialogues that contribute to the design and implementation of projects that promote a sustainable future. A qualitative approach was adopted using two complementary methods to address this objective. First, bibliometric search equations focused on the analytical categories of social innovation and environmental sustainability. Second, a documentary review was carried out using matrices, which made it possible to identify divergences and convergences between the different authors in this field. The results of this study underscore that incorporating environmental sustainability into the management of social innovation projects is desirable and essential to address contemporary social problems effectively. By adopting sustainable practices, fostering environmental awareness, and seeking solutions that respect environmental limits, social innovation projects can play a crucial role in creating a more sustainable and equitable future.
Geofilia: esbozo de ética ambiental a partir del reino vegetal
Authors: Minaya Santos Julio
Published: November 2024

Desde mediados del siglo XX ambientalistas, biólogos y filósofos han realizado investigaciones y reflexiones teóricas que han dado como resultado el surgimiento de la ética ambiental. El escenario de la posguerra y los efectos de la tecnología avanzada aplicada a la industria, revelaron la inviabilidad del modelo de vida contemporáneo, al constatarse los efectos nocivos sufridos por la biodiversidad. Dentro del contexto de crisis planetaria, surgió la cuestión de cómo influye la visión que tiene el ser humano sobre la naturaleza, en el tipo de relación que asume frente a esta. El interés del presente trabajo radica en promover y argumentar conceptualmente una relación armónica del ser humano con la naturaleza. La metodología empleada es de enfoque cualitativo, de carácter descriptivo y con un análisis contextual. Tras un recorrido histórico examinando los modos peculiares en que la humanidad ha concebido la naturaleza, se ha llegado a establecer un nexo entre dicha concepción y la modalidad particular de relación asumida en cada fase histórica. La pesquisa realizada ha permitido establecer al menos cinco modalidades de relación en el sentido apuntado, asumiéndose la relación geófila como opción preferente. Dos nociones han servido para un abordaje adecuado del tema: geofilia y vegetales geófilos. Con base a esto, y desde una perspectiva vegetal, el presente trabajo significa un esfuerzo teórico por aproximarse a una ética ambiental desde una óptica diferente, con el propósito de fomentar lazos amigables entre la persona humana y la casa común.
Población afromexicana, esperanza de vida e indicadores de marginación en el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19 en 2020
Authors: Uribe Salas Felipe Javier , Núñez Medina Gerardo
Published: November 2024

La población afomexicana ha sido escasamente estudiada desde una perspectiva cuantitativa en relación con eventos en salud. Por ello, la mayoría de los estudios en esa línea han sido de corte etnográfico. El Censo de Población y Vivienda de 2020 en México proporcionó, por primera vez a nivel censal, información demográfica sobre la población afromexicana identificada bajo el principio de autoadscripción. El presente trabajo tuvo por objeto analizar el impacto de la esperanza de vida (EV) en población afromexicana controlando su efecto por el grado de marginación y población sin derecho a servicios de salud, en el contexto de la pandemia por Covid-19 en México durante 2020. La información sobre población afromexicana, mortalidad y población, se obtuvieron de fuentes oficiales. Se calculó la EV mediante el método actuarial estándar. La población afromexicana representó una fracción pequeña respecto al total de la población en México. Las mayores proporciones se concentran en las costas de Oaxaca y Guerreo, y en menor proporción en Veracruz y Yucatán. Esta población tendió a distribuirse en municipios de baja densidad por lo que estuvo sujeta a las limitaciones socioeconómicas y demográficas de las poblaciones rurales o semiurbanas. Estas características se reflejaron en un bajo impacto en la pérdida en años de la EV porque la dinámica de la pandemia por Covid-19 tendió a ser menor en poblaciones de menor tamaño. Dicho efecto no se dio por tratarse de población afromexicana per se, sino porque ésta comparte las características de las poblaciones rurales y semiurbanas de México.

A Study on the Carbon Dioxide Laser
Authors: JALIL MUHAMMAD ARIF BIN
Published: November 2024

Abstract: One of the first gas lasers to be created was the carbon-dioxide laser (CO2 laser). One of the most practical kinds of lasers, it was created in 1964 by Bell Labs' Kumar Patel [22]. The most powerful continuous-wave lasers on the market right now are carbon-dioxide lasers. Additionally, they are quite efficient; the output power to pump power ratio can reach 20%. The primary wavelength bands of the infrared light beam produced by the CO2 laser are 9.6 and 10.6 micrometers (μm). [22] In order to improve its performance, a carbon dioxide laser uses carbon dioxide as its main gain medium. Nitrogen (N2), helium (He), and occasionally hydrogen (H2), water vapor, oxygen, or xenon (Xe) are added. This laser works by energizing the gas mixture to produce laser light by promoting the emission of radiation by an electrical gas discharge. In carbon dioxide lasers, the electrical gas discharge can be powered by radio frequency (RF), direct current (DC), or alternating current (AC). The wavelength of the light emitted by these lasers is 10.6 micrometers. In dermatology, they are frequently used for operations like wrinkle reduction, scar removal, and sun damage treatment. Furthermore, for accurate cutting and tissue removal, carbon dioxide lasers are employed as surgical instruments in specialties such as neurosurgery and gynecology.[24]

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Kyoung-Hee , Lee Jeong-Hwa
Published: November 2024

Objectives This study attempted to find out the change in perception of child abuse through qualitative meta-analysis and seek new understanding and improvement directions for correct perception of child abuse.
Methods Among the three strategies of meta-cultural technology in qualitative meta-analysis developed by Noblit & Hare (1988) and applied by Britten et al. (2002) and Atkin et al. (2015), this study was analyzed using reciprocal translation analysis and refutation synthesis among the three strategies of qualitative meta-analysis applied by Lee Seung-ho et al. and described them as individual topics in the research results. In the stage of determining the relevance between the research results, the research results were synthesized and reconceptualized.
Results This study examined the perception of child abuse before and after child abuse in order to examine the perception of child abuse by victims, perpetrators, spouses, and neighbors. In the case of child abuse recognition, the victim's tendency to think of child abuse as his or her own fault before the recognition of child abuse was cut, and in the case of perpetrators, the cause of child abuse was recognized as the influence of others other than himself. In the case of spouses and people around them, they tended to think that it was not their job. When the child abuse officials' pre-recognition was summarized, it was recognized as ‘child abuse has nothing to do with me’. After the child abuse officials recognized child abuse, the victims knew that the type of parenting they and their friends received was different, and in the case of the perpetrators, they recognized that their parenting method was wrong. In the case of spouses and neighbors, they recognized that they were avoiding the appearance of child abuse. When the child abuse officials' perception of child abuse was combined, a change in perception was found to ‘face child abuse’.
Conclusions This study is meaningful in suggesting ways to improve awareness of child abuse in the future in that it helps to understand the perception of child abuse more deeply and analyzes individual qualitative studies from a broader perspective.

The Perception of Repeating Decimals and Understanding of Infinite Sums of Geometric Figures among First-Year High School Students
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Kyeongsik
Published: November 2024

Objectives This study investigated high school first-year students' awareness of recurring decimals and examined their understanding of infinite sums related to geometric figures and various equivalent expressions of “the same”.
Methods To achieve this, we developed survey questions to assess awareness of the recurring decimal 0.333..., and created dynamic materials and worksheets introducing infinite sums of geometric figures. Additionally, we developed worksheets focusing on various equivalent expressions of “the same”. Subsequently, we conducted a survey with 33 first-year students currently enrolled at H High School. After implementing the worksheets in class, we analyzed the results.
Results Based on the analysis of survey responses regarding awareness of the recurring decimal 0.333..., students were categorized into three types: Type A showed actual infinite perspectives both algebraically and geometrically, Type B showed actual infinite algebraic perspectives but potential infinite perspectives geometrically, and Type C showed potential infinite perspectives in both algebraic and geometric aspects. Analyzing the responses to assignments on infinite sums of geometric figures based on these types, approximately half of Type A students demonstrated actual infinite perspectives on infinite sums. In contrast, the majority of Type B and C students showed potential infinite perspectives. Furthermore, regarding assignments on various expressions of equivalence based on Types A, B, and C, roughly half of Type A students understood newly presented expressions of equivalence, whereas the majority of Type B and C students did not comprehend these expressions well.
Conclusions This research indicates that students' understanding of infinity, which they possess in middle school (2nd year), persists through their high school education. Based on these findings, there is a need for pedagogical efforts in mathematics education across elementary, middle, and high school levels to explicitly address and enhance learning about infinity, which seems implicitly guided by the curriculum currently.

Objectives This study compares two different parent groups' perspectives on ECEC (Early Childhood Education and Care) educator professionalism. As a result, this study provides insights into the policy making process, teacher preparation curriculum, and certification process in the ECEC field.
Methods A semi-structed one-to-one interview was conducted with Korean parents and Korean/Korean-American parents. All collected data were carefully categorized and coded. For trustworthiness, triangulation and member checks were chosen.
Results Parents in South Korea expect professionalism from ECEC educators: Teachers who co-parent on behalf of parents, Teachers who serve children with sincerity, and Teachers who have licenses for kindergartens and childcare centers. Parents in the U.S.A expect professionalism from ECEC educators: Teachers who co-parent alongside parents, teachers who have a warm heart, and teachers who have majored in ECEC relevant fields or been certified for teaching specialized program. As a final point, both parent groups view veteran teachers as professionals due to their presence of mind and long experiences.
Conclusions The study reveals that two groups of parents in different countries view ECEC educators' professionalism differently. The professionalism of ECEC educators needs to be investigated from different angles and with the voices of stakeholders included. Furthermore, to improve the professionalism of ECEC educators, not only reforming the teacher preparation curriculum and the certification process but also ongoing policy support is necessary.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Joung Hee Joung
Published: November 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explores the process of forming practical knowledge in dance classes for college students with developmental disabilities, using autoethnography.
Methods Data were collected during the dance classes taught in the Department of Special Physical Education at University A from September 2018 to December 2019 and from March 2021 to June 2023. The collected data include self-reflective materials, class logs, field files, and cultural artifacts. The data were analyzed using emotion coding, contrast coding, and evaluation coding, and were described using confessional and emotive writing.
Results Educational environment knowledge was formed through the process of addressing questions that emerged between the conflicts of “New Challenges: What Should Be Taught?” and “Research vs. Educational Field.” The curriculum and course content were shaped through the interaction of dance education, college students with deveopmental disabilities, and university education. This was categorized under “Creating My Identity in University Dance for Students with Disabilities: How Should It Be Taught?:” and further subdivided into “Reconsidering Traditional Dance Education Methods: Completing to the End,” “Thoughtful Movement,” “Making story”, and “The Instructor as a Discoverer.”
Conclusions The instructor's reflection and introspection on education, as well as their belief in their own teaching, serve as the driving force for their growth. Practical knowledge is not static; it changes organically through the interaction between the instructor, the students, and the educational environment. As the agent of this change, the educator must explore new educational challenges and opportunities, using them to improve and transform their teaching.

Methods As the subject of the study, a survey was conducted on 400 infant teacher working in daycare centers, and structural model analysis and mediating effect analysis using phantom variables were conducted.
Results According to the main findings, first, work-life balance, job satisfaction, and happiness were all significantly positively correlated with group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture. This means that the higher the group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture of daycare centers, the higher the work-life balance, the higher the job satisfaction, and the higher the happiness of infant teacher. Second, as a result of analyzing the structural relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction in the impact of each type of organizational culture on happiness, it was found that group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture affect happiness by mediating the work-life balance of infant teacher. Additionally, it was discovered that work-life balance and job satisfaction were twofold influenced by the relationship between the four types of organizational culture and happiness. However, it was discovered that hierarchical culture did not directly affect happiness, whereas group culture, development culture, and rational culture had a direct impact on happiness.
Conclusions The study found that work-life balance and job satisfaction are important variables in the relationship between the type of organizational culture and happiness of infant teacher. In particular, hierarchical culture does not directly affect the happiness of infant teacher, but it indirectly increases happiness through work-life balance and job satisfaction, indicating that work-life balance and job satisfaction are particularly important for infant teachers' happiness.

A transformação digital e a inovação do modelo de negócios vêm alterando de forma expressiva as expectativas e os comportamentos dos consumidores, pressionando as empresas a reverem suas estratégias de negócios. Sendo assim, esse artigo relata resultados de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi avaliar quais dimensões impactam na maturidade digital das organizações pertencentes ao agronegócio brasileiro. Julgou-se adequada a condução de um survey eletrônico a fim de se aferir o grau de maturidade das empresas. Para a construção do instrumento de pesquisa, lançou-se mão do instrumento proposto por Rossman (2018). A fase de coleta de dados foi conduzida por meio de um formulário eletrônico, que foi enviado para dirigentes de empresas do agronegócio brasileiro. Ao final, foram obtidos 379 questionários válidos. Os dados foram avaliados por meio da modelagem de equações estruturais. Os achados da pesquisa permitem afirmar que, levando em conta as empresas do setor de agronegócio participantes da pesquisa, existem evidências da articulação entre maturidade digital e as diferentes dimensões propostas por Rossman (2018): estratégia, liderança, mercado, operações, pessoas, cultura, governança e tecnologia. Ou seja, há uma relação entre o atingimento de maiores níveis de maturidade digital e o direcionamento estratégico baseado nessas dimensões no setor do agronegócio brasileiro.

Hospital dentistry is currently of great importance due to the context of socioeconomic inequalities in Brazil, where a significant part of the population cannot afford private dental treatments. This a very important field because socioeconomic inequalities in the country make access to private dental treatments difficult, emphasizing the need for dental care services to be offered in hospitals. The main objective of this study was to highlight the relevance of the dental surgeon and dentists in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), where this professional plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral diseases that may interfere with medical treatment and worsen patients’ conditions. This article also explores the advances of hospital dentistry in Brazil and the correlation between oral health and various diseases, stressing the need for proper treatment. The research was conducted through a qualitative literature review in databases such as SciELO, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The literature indicates that the presence of a dentist in the multidisciplinary ICU team is indispensable, especially for treating oral complications related to intubation and extubation. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the role of the hospital dentist became even more crucial, helping to prevent hospital-acquired infections originating from the oral cavity of intubated patients. Thus, this study reinforces the importance of hospital dentistry in Brazil for providing better quality of life for hospitalized patients.
