Published: September 2022

Abstract— Harapan Jaya Village, Bekasi City has public services covering various aspects of community administration data collection. Community administration data collection such as business certificates, certificates of incapacity, domicile letters of residence are still manual, namely using Microsoft word and excel so that it slows down the community service process and too many people want to apply so it is not controlled. Because the mail service system in Harapan Jaya sub-district, Bekasi City, until now has not been computerized, an information system was made using a development model with the waterfall method to be one of the best solutions because it utilizes information technology as an intermediary to simplify and speed up human work. In addition to tackling problems, there are still advantages when public services are online-based, including training the public to be aware of technology and also minimizing the use of paper and other stationery in the process of submitting letters. With an online-based information system, services for the residents of Harapan Jaya Village can run conducive and efficiently.

Authors: Andriansyah Doni
Published: September 2022

Abstract - Pool Daily Report (LHP) is a report used by the Operations department and other relevant departments to find out the position, condition, and availability of rental units. In the process, this report is formed by several data sources including from the main system and mobile applications. Differences in data structure and format become the next obstacle faced in the data integration process. The management decision-making process is hampered because the information provided is less relevant, because some of the data is in another database that is different from the database used by the company. The implementation of a data warehouse is one of the efforts to integrate data. Extract-transform-load (ETL) is a method that can be used in a data warehouse to extract, transform, and save data back into the prepared target table. The result of this research is the implementation of the ETL process with a snowflake approach to produce the required dimensions, which are then related to form reports that are in accordance with the wishes of the user.

Propostas para a melhoria da eficiência do sistema de precedentes judiciais nas questões que envolvam o Poder Público em juízo: uma proposta de lege ferenda.
Authors: Santos Morais Dalton , Carlus Carús Guedes Jefferson
Published: September 2022

Mesmo com tantos avanços tecnológicos nos procedimentos administrativos e jurisdicionais, tantas reformas constitucionais e processuais, inclusive com a edição do Código de Processo Civil de 2015, e com a positivação do princípio da juridicidade no art. 2º, parágrafo único da Lei nº 9.784/99, observarmos cotidianamente uma práxis de aplicação literal pelo Estado-administração de disposições normativas com interpretação constitucional distinta já fixada pelo STF, o que importa em uma constante busca do processo judicial para obrigar que o Poder Público observe o que já restou disciplinado pela Suprema Corte. Tal situação importa no aumento crescente do número de processos judiciais, na longa duração do processo judicial, no gasto desnecessário de recursos públicos escassos e em uma baixa produtividade do Poder Judiciário nos processos judiciais envolvendo o Poder Público, o que tem conduzido a uma forte tendência de esgotamento da prestação jurisdicional no Brasil. Por isso, a pretensão do presente artigo é identificar as causas de tal situação e apresentar propostas de lege ferenda que possam melhorar a eficiência do sistema de precedentes judiciais quando envolva o Poder Público em juízo.

Published: September 2022

O presente estudo visa analisar, por meio do método hipotético-dedutivo, as novíssimas técnicas decisórias empregadas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal em âmbito de controle de constitucionalidade. São as chamadas decisões manipulativas ou técnicas decisórias manipulativas, especialmente as decisões manipulativas aditivas, substitutivas e dialógicas. A análise de algumas decisões da Suprema Corte que aplicaram estas novas técnicas decisórias, bem como da doutrina mais balizada, mostra-se necessária para demonstrar os seus fundamentos jurídicos e efeitos práticos, e ainda, se a sua aplicação encontra respaldo constitucional. Ao final se verá que a melhor opção, do ponto de vista constitucional e democrático, é a aplicação pela Suprema Corte das decisões denominadas dialógicas, a fim de não romper com o dogma da separação dos poderes.

Published: September 2022

Several different guidelines and therapeutic recommendations have been reported for the treatment of COVID-19 since the announcement of the pandemic. In our study, the attitudes and approaches of patients with a medical indication for COVID-19 who were given drugs towards drug usage were evaluated. We aimed to present our data on the drug usage characteristics of patients to contribute to the literature. A total of 399 patients were included in the study. In the study, 51.1% of the patients were female, and 48.9% were male. The highest number of the patients were in the 18-30 age group (27.6%), the lowest number of the patients were 65 years old or older (9.8%). Twenty-five questions prepared by the researchers were asked to the patients to evaluate "their knowledge and attitudes on drug usage and disease prevention in COVID-19." Of the patients, 75.7% were not smokers. No history of chronic disease was present in 65.5% of the patients. It was determined that no drug was recommended for 9.8% of the patients, and hydroxychloroquine and favipiravir were recommended together in 49.9%. The rate of the use of chloroquine alone was 4.8%, and the rate of using only favipiravir was 32.8%. Eighty-two percent of the patients reported that they regularly used the drugs that were recommended. Among the patients, 11.5% either never used the recommended drugs or did not use them at the recommended dose and time. Of the 46 (11.5%) patients who did not use the prescribed drugs regularly, none died. In other words, improvement was observed in the patients who did not use the drugs that were recommended to them. Our aim in this study was to determine the rate and characteristics of the drugs prescribed by physicians in diagnosed patients. In this cross-sectional sample of Turkey, it was determined that the rate of recommended drug usage was sufficient with the data of the city where the study was carried out.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in lipid profile in pregnant women might have any effect on the perinatal outcomes. This retrospective study was conducted between January 2020 and December 2020 by evaluating data drawn from the hospital database. The total serum cholesterol(C), HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C and triglycerides levels were measured in 587 women during the first trimester of pregnancy and confounding factors were analyzed. The mean age was 27 years. The mean gravida and parity were 2 and 1 respectively. The mean birth weight of newborn was 3280 g. The mean Apgar score was 9 at 0 and 5 minutes respectively. The vaginal delivery rate was 68.3% whereas caeserian delivery rate was 31.7%. Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was needed in 0.5% of newborns. There was no significant statistical difference between the rates of caeserian section and vaginal delivery in patients with respect to lipid profile levels. The total serum cholesterol(C), triglycerides, LDL-C and VLDL-C levels were significantly higher in mothers of babies hospitalized in NICU.HDL-C level was similar between two groups. Adequate lipid levels in the first trimester of pregnancy are crucial for the health of pregnant women and newborn. High levels of lipids can increase NICU need but not effect way of delivery.

Published: September 2022

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory multisystemic disease. Limitations due to skin and joint involvement of the patients; can lead to negativie suffix in emotional state, social and physical activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of parameters such as skin joint involvement and disease severity on factors such as fatigue, quality of life, depression, etc. in psoriasis and PsA patients. Thirty-four psoriasis and 48 PsA patients matched with each other in terms of age, sex, and other factors were included in the study. Disease severity was measured by Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI), Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) scores. In order to determine the depression status, quality of life and fatigue levels of the patients, respectively; Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - fatigue scale (FACIT) scores were used. SPSS 17 for statistical evaluation (SPSS Inc. Released 2007. SPSS for Windows, Version 17.0. Chicago, SPSS Inc.) software package was used for analyses. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients who were enrolled to the study. PsA patients were found to have worse quality of life scores than psoriasis patients who were similar in terms of age, gender and other demographic characteristics. (0.22±0.36-0-0.48±0.52 p=0.017 respectively). There was a strong correlation between DAPSA scores and HAQ scores of the cases in the PsA group (r:0 ,615 p<0.05). Likewise, disease activity measured by DAPSA was found to have moderate correlation with FACIT score, and weak but statistically significant correlation with BDI score. (r: -0.578 p<0.05 and r:0.346 p<0.001, respectively). No correlation was found between NAPSI-PASI scores and HAQ, BDI - FACIT scores in both the psoriasis and PsA groups. Both psoriasis and PsA affect the quality of life, and our findings suggest that this effect is more pronounced in PsA patients. Our study supports that; the disease severity in PsA patients is related to depression, bad quality of life and fatigue level.

Authors: Biala Ademola , Rangel Geremias , Samuel Letitia
Published: September 2022

Background: The WHO recommends a cesarean delivery rate (CDR) of less than 15%. The CDR at GPHC increased from 17.8% in 2010 to a peak of 26.1% in 2019, nearly twice the WHO recommendation. The purpose of this study is to analyze trends of and the CDR using Robson 10-group classification system (R-TGCS) at a tertiary facility in Guyana (Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation).
Methods: This study is a facility based, one-year retrospective chart review of patients who had cesarean deliveries (CDs) between January 1st, 2019 and December 31st, 2019. Pertinent information including maternal age, gestational age at delivery, gravidity and parity and indication for CD, were collected. The overall CDR was calculated and information on each patient was used to allot the patients into one of the ten R-TGCS. The dependent variable was Robson classification group.
Results: The total number of CDs for the period was 1641 out of 6277 deliveries above 28 weeks gestational age. Demographically, the most common age range of the cohort was 20-34 years, accounting for 73.8% of the cohort. The mean duration of hospitalization after CD was 3.5 (±3) days. The mean gestational age at delivery was 38 (±2.2) weeks. The most common indications for CD were non reassuring fetal heart tracings (32.2%), previous CD pre-labor (17.9%) and previous CS in labor (9.3%). The most common R-TGCS groups
Conclusion: The study showed that groups 5 (multipara with scarred uterus/previous CD), 1 (nullipara in labor) and 3 (multipara without scarred uterus/previous CD) were the major contributors to the overall CDR, with group 5 alone contributing one-quarter to the CDR.

Published: September 2022

This quantitative, correlational study aimed to determine the nurses’ level of satisfaction on the flexible learning modality in the nursing orientation program at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) in Qatar during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants were enrolled in the study using a total enumeration sampling technique which consists of all new nurses hired permanently by HMC from June 2020 until January 2021. The online questionnaire was distributed along with the informed consent/ research information tool and was completed by 212 out of 227 target participants. The survey was divided into these sections: the demographic profile, nurses’ level of satisfaction with the flexible learning modality, and their level of technical capability for flexible learning. Statistical treatment using frequencies, means, standard deviation, and Spearman’s rank correlation test was used to arrive at the research findings statistically. The study results revealed that nurses who joined HMC during the pandemic were highly satisfied with the nursing orientation program and highly capable of flexible learning. There is also a strong, positive relationship between the participants’ level of satisfaction and technical capability. Hence, an enhancement to nursing orientation programs can be developed based on the findings of the study.

Authors: BALKANLI Azra , KARACA Kezban Esen , SAVICI Merve
Published: September 2022

Nutrition is very important for students to be successful and productive in society with their physical and mental health. The fact that students choose universities in different cities and leave the order they are used to may cause changes in their eating and sleeping patterns. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of university students' adherence to the Mediterranean Diet on their sleep quality. The Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (PUKI) were used in the study. Survey data were used in the SPSS 22 program, frequency distributions for categorical variables and descriptive statistics for numerical variables. Parametric tests were used for the normally distributed variables, and non-parametric tests were used for the non-normally distributed variables. Independent samples T-test and One Way ANOVA test were used to determine whether there was a difference between the two independent groups. Pearson test was used in Correlation Analysis. The sample of the study was realized with 200 people studying at Yeni Yüzyıl University. 55% of the students participating in the study were female and 45% male. According to the results, it was concluded that there was no significant difference between gender and PUKI (p>0.05), but there was a significant difference between gender and MEDAS (p<0.05). It was concluded that male participants (7.47±2.01) had higher MEDAS results than female participants (6.25±2.18). It was concluded that the MEDAS result was low in students with high BMI. As a result of the research, a statistically significant, average, inversely proportional relationship was found between PUKI and MEDAS (r = -0.340; p<0.01). According to this result, it was concluded that as the participant's adherence to the Mediterranean diet increased, their sleep quality also increased.
Bitcoin, Ether, Tether and Gold: Do these assets reduce losses or profits in the US stock market during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Authors: Echaust Krzysztof , Just Małgorzata
Published: September 2022

The effectiveness of an optimal hedging for a drop in the S&P500 using gold and cryptocurrencies in the COVID-19 pandemic is considered. Based on Value at Risk a new dynamic measure of relative benefit from the hedging strategy is proposed in the paper which allows us to compare the loss reduction and profit sacrifice. We find gold as good shelter for the US stock market. It effectively lowers volatility and downside risk. Moreover, gold reduces extreme losses more intensively than corresponding profits. Hedging with optimal weights for cryptocurrencies is not recommended since it establishes weights close to zero for Bitcoin and Ether and close to one for Tether.
A Just Wage and Ineffectiveness of Its External Enforcement
Authors: Máslo Lukáš Augustin
Published: September 2022

This paper deals with the problem of effectiveness of enforcement of the just wage. The author makes use of the standard models of the product market, labor market and isoquant-isocost analysis to capture the effect of the decision to pay the just wage. In a discussion about the type of justice which governs the wage relation, the author proves that this relation does not fall within the category of distributive justice, on the grounds of (un)willingness of the owners of the factors of production to share the loss. On the contrary, arguments are being presented why the wage relation is being governed by the principles of commutative and social justice. In the aspect of commutative justice, a personal component and a family component of the just wage are being distinguished. The author justifies the concept of the personal component of the just wage by an analogy with renting a capital good. The empiricist objection of arbitrariness of any quantification of the just wage is being settled by a reference to the distinction of necessary and accidental signs. The author draws the conclusion that it is the owners of the firm who hold the key to the just wage. The author concludes that there is no way to force the owner of the firm to start paying the just wage if he does not want to. Any externally enforced increase in the wage is counter-productive, in the end. The threat of external sanctions has no effect. The only sanction which is effective is the internal sanction, i. e. the employer’s own conscience. To the objection of inefficiency brought about by internal sanctions, the author answers that the employment of labor not needed by the employer is a gift and the employer is not obliged to pay the just wage in this case.
Subjective Poverty: New Techniques of Measurement and Statistical Analysis
Authors: Łuczak Aleksandra , Kalinowski Sławomir
Published: September 2022

Poverty has always been a highly visible problem not restricted to the poorest countries as often is believed. It is a phenomenon occurring all over the world, with varying degrees of intensity. The state of poverty is not dichotomous and cannot be simplified down to categorizations of “poor” and “not poor.” There are many degrees of poverty ranging from none to extreme. Research on poverty, which has been going on for more than 120 years, rarely acknowledges this reality. Moreover, the measurement of poverty is often limited to objective measures that describe economic conditions, e.g. by household income or expenditure. However, the problem of subjective poverty measurement is important, as it studies the different perceptions of poverty among respondents and is often dependent on the point of reference (on the groups to which the respondents compare themselves such as neighbors or family). Hence, we undertook research on the measurement of subjective poverty. We proposed and compared four approaches to the construction of a synthetic index of subjective poverty using the classic and fuzzy TOPSIS (The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and the classic and fuzzy Hellwig's method. The vertex method (fuzzy approaches) and generalized distance measure (classic approaches) were used to calculate the distance from the pattern and the anti-pattern. The main goal is presenting approaches to assessing subjective poverty of households and comparing the results obtained with their help. The research was based on the primary research entitled “My situation during the coronavirus pandemic” conducted in April 2021. The measurement of the level of subjective poverty is an important tool for assessing anti-poverty policy; furthermore, the proposed methods for quantification of subjective poverty can be the basis for the development of anti-poverty strategies and policies

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of sperm on chromatin stability and its relationship with the membrane integrity structural – physiological and the rate of fertilization of female sheep. Ejaculates of sperm (2 × 109 sperm·mL-1) with 70% of motility were collected using an artificial vagina (n=5, 2 years old. For this, each ram was served with fifteen female sheep (n=75), generating thus five different Groups (A, B, C, D, and E). A control Group also was considered. Sperm nuclear chromatin stability (NCS) was evaluated using the Borate Buffer (BB), Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), and the mixture of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) + SDS. The fertilization rate was evaluated after 16-18 hours post sperm injection. Sperm concentration showed a significant difference (P<0.05) between Groups. In Contrast, seminal volume, and sperm motility do not show a significant difference (P>0.05). A high correlation (r2=0.52) was observed between morphology and motility, and the fertilization rate was 74.6% (n=56). It was concluded in general that techniques to evaluate nuclear condensation values do have a high likelihood to give a diagnosis about the future potential of sperm populations in Junín ram.

The defective candies cause the unevenness of the product that will cause the appearance, taste and flavor poor. That will lead to economic losses for the company. Most traditional candy companies set up product inspection personnel to eliminate defective product. In this paper, an intelligent defect detection system for gummy candy industry under edge computing environment is proposed. It can replace manual visual inspection, even shorten the processing time to reduce production costs, thereby improving product quality, the efficiency of the production line, and the number of inspections. The system includes: (1) The intelligent defect detection system by deep learning algorithms. (2) The edge computing architecture with AIoT. The proposed system adopted the YOLO deep learning algorithm. The results show that the Precision is 93%, Recall is 87% and the F1 Score is 90. It has certain empirical reference significance for the intelligent defect detection system of candies products. By adopting deep learning algorithm in the detection system, it can reduce the inspection man-power needs and long-term data collection.

This work proposes an adaptive resource orchestration system for a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that is based on the operating principle of Cognitive Radio (CR) technology. By collecting environmental parameters, including the retransmission rate and the channel occupancy rate, the proposed system has “knowledge” of overall transmission behavior and can regulate transmission resources. An Adaptive Connection Assignment (ACA) mechanism is proposed for end devices; it find out target end devices with poor transmission performance, analyzes their alternative Access Point (AP) availability and causes them to change connections to improve transmission performance. An Adaptive Channel Utilization (ACU) mechanism is designed for APs to identify a target AP that is suffering from interference, to analyze its alternative channel availability and to require it to change its working channel to improve transmission efficiency. Results of simulations of various scenarios indicate that the throughput of end devices is increased by 15 to 24%, the throughput of APs is increased by 6 to 47% and the retransmission rate of APs is reduced by 0.4 to 5.3%.

Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques based on Hamiltonian dynamics can sample the first or last principal components of multivariate probability models using simulated trajectories. However, when components’ scales span orders of magnitude, these approaches may be unable of accessing all components adequately. While it is possible to reconcile the first and last components by alternating between two different types of trajectories, the sampling of intermediate components may be imprecise. In this paper, a function generalizing the kinetic energies of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and Riemannian Manifold Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is proposed, and it is found that the methods based on a specific form of the function can more accurately sample normal distributions. Additionally, the multi-particle algorithm’s reasoning is given after a review of some statistical ideas.

背景和目的：本研究將台灣過去18年間65歲以上下肢截肢老年患者分為65-74歲、75-84歲及85歲以上三組，討論他們截肢的特徵和醫療利用情況，並將他們與 65 歲以下的截肢者進行比較。方法：本研究為一項回顧性觀察研究。我們使用了 1996 年至 2013 年台灣全民健保參保人的全國代表性百萬抽樣檔作數據。分析截肢的基本特徵及其醫療使用數據。結果：65歲以上截肢患者，年齡越大則女性 (p = .002) 和因周圍血管疾病截肢 (p < .001) 的比例越高。截肢部位、住院透析、術後住院復健、手術費用和總住院費用則不同年紀組間無顯著差異。與 65 歲以下截肢者相比，65 歲以上下肢截肢老人中女性患者 (p < .001)、近端截肢 (p < .001)、非創傷性截肢 (p < .001) 和透析 (p < .001) 的比例更高。相比之下，接受術後復健治療的患者比例 (p < .001) 和相同截肢部位的手術費用 (p < .001) 低於 65 歲以下的患者。結論：在有截肢風險的老人中，年齡越大，須更關注女性和非糖尿病周圍血管疾病患者。很少老年截肢者接受住院復健，這提醒我們截肢復健不僅是義肢訓練。提高患者出院前的自我照護、轉位和活動能力的訓練不應受年齡限制。

 

Background and purpose: This study examines the characteristics and medical utilization of elderly patients with lower limb amputation in three different age groups, namely, young-old, old-old, and oldest-old, and compares them with amputees younger than 65. Methods: A retrospective study. We used data from a nationally representative sample of one million enrollees of the National Health Insurance in Taiwan from 1996 to 2013. The basic characteristics for amputation were identified, and the claims data for medical utilization were analyzed. Results: Among amputees older than 65, the higher the age, the higher the proportion of female (p = .002) and amputations due to peripheral vascular diseases (p = .000). There was no significant difference in amputation level, dialysis, inpatient rehabilitation, surgical cost, and hospital costs. Compared with amputees younger than 65, the proportion of females (p = .000), proximal amputations (p = .000), non-traumatic amputations (p = .000), and dialysis (p = .000) was higher in patients older than 65. In contrast, the proportion of patients receiving rehabilitation (p = .000) and the surgical cost of the same amputa-tion level (p = .000) were lower than for those younger than 65. Conclusion: In el-derly at risk of amputation, the higher the age, more attention must be paid to female and patient with non-diabetic peripheral vascular disease. Few elderly amputees re-ceived inpatient rehabilitation, which is a reminder that amputation rehabilitation is not simply prosthetic rehabilitation. Improving patients’ self-care, transfer, and mobil-ity skills before discharge should not be limited by age.

 
如何在不同種類之續集產品中調整品牌正統性

自Beverland（2009）提出建構品牌的正統性原則後，此領域的研究多著重於品牌正統性本質之探索性研究或進行量表之建構，目前針對品牌正統性進行相關消費者議題上之實證研究依舊相當有限，本研究試圖回答下列幾個問題 1.產品正統性消費者品牌信任之關係為何，品牌信任是評估品牌延伸活動之因素，消費者能否透過正統性之尋找來加強品牌信任? 2.什麼元素構成品牌正統性?消費者如何回應不同續集產品（體驗性/收尋性）之正統性。本研究分別使用Apple iPhone and The Fast And The Furious做為搜尋性產品及體驗性產品之代表，透過紙本問卷調查，針對同時使用及消費過上述產品的消費者來了解其如何評估不同產品屬性之正統性。本研究採用複迴歸偏最小平方（Partial Least Squares, PLS）來進行測量模型之檢測。研究發現並非所有正統性元素皆能夠反映出消費者的品牌信任。此外，不同產品類型下，不同品牌正統性元素會各自影響到消費者的品牌信任。一致性代表往往是消費者辨識品牌的準則，更是正統性中重要元素，類似品牌延伸中的契合度概念，因此不論在何種產品類型下，一致性皆會對品牌信任產生影響。然而只有在體驗性產品中，原創性只會會影響消費者信任。

 

Since Beverland (2009) put forward the principle of brand legitimacy, research in this field has mostly focused on exploratory research on the nature of brand legitimacy or the construction of scales. Currently, empirical research on related consumer issues in conducting for brand legitimacy still quite limited. This study attempts to answer the following questions: 1. What is the relationship between product legitimacy and consumer brand trust? Brand trust is a factor in evaluating brand extension activities. Can consumers strengthen brand trust through the search for legitimacy? 2 . What elements constitute brand legitimacy? How consumers respond to the legitimacy of different sequel products (experiential/searchable). This research uses Apple iPhone and The Fast And The Furious as representatives of search products and experiential products respectively. Through paper questionnaires, consumers who have used and consumed the above products at the same time are chosen to understand how they evaluate the relationship between different product attributes of orthodoxy. In this study, partial least squares (PLS) was used to test the model. Research has found that not all elements of legitimacy reflect consumer brand trust. In addition, under different product types, different elements of brand legitimacy will individually affect consumers’ brand trust. Consistency is often a criterion for consumers to identify a brand, and it is an important element in legitimacy. Therefore, no matter what type of product, consistency will have an impact on brand trust. However, only in experiential products, originality only affects consumer trust.

Spielerisch-exploratives Lernen anstossen
Authors: Wagner Nora
Published: September 2022

Wie kann Design dazu beitragen, spielerisch-exploratives Lernen im Schulkontext anzustossen und co-kreative Gestaltungsfreiräume zu schaffen? Der Überzeugung folgend, dass durch spielerisch-exploratives Lernen fachliche sowie überfachliche Kompetenzen intrinsisch motiviert geübt werden können, hat Nora Wagner im Rahmen ihrer Masterarbeit "Design mit selma & mogli" den Entwurf einer Toolbox geschaffen, welche Lehrpersonen darin unterstützt, Kinder an eigenverantwortliche Handlungsspielräume heranzuführen. Das im Rahmen der Auseinandersetzung durchgeführte Pilotprojekt mit einer Regelklasse zeigt auf, dass durch selma & mogli spielerisch-exploratives Lernen angestossen und co-kreative Gestaltungsprozesse minimal "lenkend rollen" gelassen werden können. Somit kann ein grösstmöglicher Spielraum für einen Schritt in Richtung Kompetenz- und Entwicklungsorientierung geschaffen werden.
Mut zum pädagogischen Imperativ!
Authors: Rauscher Erwin
Published: September 2022

Schulautonomie ist Mit- und Selbstverantwortung innerhalb eines gesetzlichen Rahmens, mitver­ant­wortlich gelebte Freiheit, nicht aber Freizügigkeit als Widerspruch gegenüber Obrigkeit. Der Bei­trag illustriert dies mit einer Anleihe an Immanuel Kants berühmtes Sapere aude. Die bekannten pädagogi­schen Leitwerte transponierend, werden im Verständnis Kants philosophische, ethische und soziale Parameter angeboten: Güte, Wür­de, Ermächtigung, Vertrauen und Mut: „Habe Mut, dich deines eige­nen Verstandes zu bedienen …“
