Análisis de los conflictos escolares en la perspectiva de la construcción de la paz en las escuelas secundarias del Iº Ciclo de Nossa da Sabedoria e José Samuel do Lobito, Benguela
Authors: Vieira Bunda Feliciano Kanhime , Trujillo Torres Juan Manuel , Fuentes Cabrera Arturo
Published: November 2020

La temática violencia / conflicto ha venido a constituir una preocupación de los agentes de enseñanza, ya que resulta un hándicap en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la medida en que provoca desestabilización en las actividades pedagógicas. Su erradicación puede permitir un ambiente favorable de aprendizaje. El presente trabajo ha sido realizado en dos Escuelas con sede en la Ciudad del Lobito-Benguela-Angola, en particular Escuela Secundaria del I Ciclo Nuestra Señora de la Sabiduría y José Samuel. Los sujetos de muestra (profesores y alumnos) fueron unánimes en afirmar que la violencia / conflicto es un mal que debe ser evitado a toda costa, ya que provoca en el seno de los escolares un mal ambiente pedagógico y psicológico. Se aplicaron las encuestas por cuestionario a los profesores y alumnos de las dos escuelas referenciadas donde se concluye que el conflicto o violencia ha aparecido alguna vez y su resolución se ha hecho sobre la base del diálogo permanente, en cooperación y colaboración de los padres y encargados de la educación. La paz en la escuela es el bien que traduce valores fundamentales del hombre.

Published: November 2020

La necesidad de redefinir otra concepción y práctica pedagógica en relación con el proceso educativo del niño, la niña y los adolescentes desde la perspectiva de una educación centrada en el fortalecimiento de la convivencia y la paz, se convierte en un imperativo ético ciudadano, que busca potenciar las relaciones que aborden los conflictos desde posiciones centradas en la fuerza de las argumentaciones, ideas y diálogos que legitimen la acción transformadora de la educación para que se contextualice históricamente y de esa manera, cumplir con su encargo social al considerar las nuevas racionalidades lógicas subjetivas y objetivas en las que interactúa el niño, la niña y los jóvenes, situación, que por su complejidad y estancamiento histórico, no es asumido por la educación, la cual en términos generales, se debate en el hibridismo respecto a lo que enseña, por qué, para qué y cómo lo enseña y el papel de los sujetos (estudiantes y docentes) en este proceso.

Authors: Gutiérrez González Ángel , García Muñoz Aparicio Cecilia
Published: November 2020

En el entorno académico en el que se desarrollan las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), como organizaciones educativas en México, poseen una preocupación sobre la forma de mejorar la enseñanza y cómo hacer que los estudiantes aprendan. Es por ello que se propone una plataforma educativa basada en el cómputo en la Nube en una organización educativa, como es el Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN). Se utilizó un estudio exploratorio de tipo descriptivo y cualitativo con la aplicación de cuestionarios además de la observación para demostrar los beneficios en dicha organización para posteriormente utilizarla en las Instituciones Educativas. Se concluye que el cómputo en la nube debido a todos sus beneficios es importante para la educación y sobre todo en la comunicación de los docentes con los estudiantes para que estos puedan adquirir mayores competencias y habilidades en su desarrollo persona y académico.

The phenomenon of the politicization of the bureaucracy is nothing new in politics in Indonesia, the politicization of the bureaucracy has long been the case ever since the implementation of the general elections in Indonesia for the first time in 1955. The entire regime that once ruled in Indonesia has ever put through the politicization of this bureaucracy even up regime power today because by utilizing the existing positions in the bureaucracy, it can pave the way for political purposes. The application of the merit system policies to achieve good governance and clean is a step taken by the Government as a system of monitoring the implementation of transfer, promotion, and demotion conducted by political officials. This study uses qualitative research using reference data from many previous studies used as a literature review and a national online media news concerning the application of the merit system and bureaucracy politicization pressure that occurs. Based on the analysis using the software NVivo 12 Plus, it can be deduced that to realize good and clean government in the middle of bureaucratic politicization needed policy on the application of the merit system in personnel management, which aims to encourage the government bureaucracy to become more competent in solving the problems of public-oriented towards public service.Fenomena politisasi birokrasi bukanlah hal baru dalam politik di Indonesia, politisasi birokrasi telah lama terjadi sejak penyelenggaraan pemilihan umum di Indonesia pertama kali pada tahun 1955. Seluruh rezim yang pernah berkuasa di Politisasi birokrasi ini pernah dilakukan Indonesia bahkan sampai kekuasaan rezim saat ini karena dengan memanfaatkan posisi yang ada di birokrasi dapat membuka jalan bagi kepentingan politik. Penerapan kebijakan merit system untuk mewujudkan good governance dan clean merupakan langkah yang diambil oleh Pemerintah sebagai sistem pengawasan terhadap pelaksanaan mutasi, promosi, dan penurunan pangkat yang dilakukan oleh pejabat politik. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan data referensi dari berbagai penelitian sebelumnya yang digunakan sebagai tinjauan pustaka dan pemberitaan media online nasional mengenai penerapan sistem merit dan tekanan politisasi birokrasi yang terjadi. Berdasarkan analisis dengan menggunakan software NVivo 12 Plus, dapat disimpulkan bahwa untuk mewujudkan pemerintahan yang baik dan bersih di tengah politisasi birokrasi diperlukan kebijakan penerapan merit system dalam pengelolaan kepegawaian, yang bertujuan untuk mendorong agar birokrasi pemerintahan menjadi lebih kompeten dalam menyelesaikan masalah-masalah yang berorientasi pada publik menuju pelayanan publik.

Laporan Penelitian tanggapan santri bercadar pondok pesantren Al Furqon Al Islami Srowo Sidayu Gresik Terhadap Isu Pelarangan Bercadar
Authors: Ulumudin Moch Ichiyak
Published: November 2020

Merebaknya isu terorisme di indonesia membuat pemerintah waspada terhadap segala hal yang berbau terorisme dan radikalisme termasuk juga penggunaan cadar disejumlah lembaga pendidikan di Indonesia salah satunya di pondok pesantren Al-Furqon Al-Islami di desa Srowo, Kecamatan Sidayu, Kabupaten Gresik. Tulisan ini merupakan sebuah laporan penelitian kelompok yang dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan tugas penelitian dari mata kuliah agama, negara dan civil society. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Pondok Pesantren Al-Furqon Al-Islami, salah satu pondok pesantren yang mewajibkan santrinya memakai cadar dalam kehidupan sehari-harinya. Pesantren Al Furqon menerapkan aturan tersebut karena merupakan salah satu perintah agama. Namun, isu terorisme di indonesia yang mengkait-kaitkan cadar sebagai salah satu indikator kelompok radikal membuat pesantren tersebut masuk dalam kategori lembaga pendidikan yang harus diwaspadai. Hal ini karena munculnya stereotype dikalangan masyarakat bahwa orang bercadar mempunyai afiliasi kuat terhadap kelompok terorisme. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cadar menjadi salah satu kebebasan beragama pihak pesantren dalam mengaplikasikan keyakinan agama. Kewajiban memakai cadar bagi santri merupakan salah satu bentuk menjalankan aturan agama dalam menjaga auratnya.

Introduction: Multiple treatments are being studied in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study describes the baseline demographic and clinical characteristics and treatment patterns of US patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and pulmonary involvement.Methods: From December 1, 2019, through August 27, 2020, patients hospitalized with pulmonary involvement due to COVID-19 (first hospitalization) were identified in the IBM Explorys® electronic health records database comprising patients predominantly from the Midwestern and Southern United States. Demographics, baseline clinical characteristics, and in-hospital medications were assessed. For evaluation of in-hospital medications, results were stratified by race, geographic region, and month of admission. Results: Of 6564 hospitalized patients with COVID-19–related pulmonary involvement, 50.4% were male, and mean (SD) age was 62.6 (16.4) years; 75.2% and 23.6% of patients were from the South and Midwest, respectively, and 50.2% of patients were African American. Overall, the most common medications were corticosteroids (31.3%), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; 28.2%), bronchodilators (22.1%), hydroxychloroquine (19.6%), and remdesivir (13.5%). Compared with African American patients, a numerically higher proportion of White patients received dexamethasone (19.7% vs 31.8%, respectively), NSAIDs (27.1% vs 34.9%), bronchodilators (19.8% vs 29.5%), and remdesivir (9.3% vs 21.0%). Numerically higher proportions of White patients than African American patients received select medications in the South but not in the Midwest. Compared with patients in the South, a numerically higher proportion of patients in the Midwest received dexamethasone (20.1% vs 34.5%, respectively), NSAIDs (19.6% vs 55.7%), bronchodilators (15.9% vs 41.3%), and remdesivir (10.6% vs 23.1%). Inpatient use of hydroxychloroquine decreased over time, whereas use of dexamethasone and remdesivir increased over time. Conclusion: Among US patients predominantly from the South and Midwest hospitalized with COVID-19 and pulmonary involvement, differences were seen in medication use between different races, geographic regions, and months of hospitalization.

Radiative feedbacks on land surface change and associated tropical precipitation shifts
Authors: Lague Marysa , Swann Abigail , Boos William
Published: November 2020

Changes in land surface albedo and land surface evaporation modulate the atmospheric energy budget by changing temperatures, water vapor, clouds, snow and ice cover, and the partitioning of surface energy fluxes. Here idealized perturbations to land surface properties are imposed in a global model to understand how such forcings drive shifts in zonal mean atmospheric energy transport and zonal mean tropical precipitation. For a uniform decrease in global land albedo, the albedo forcing and a positive water vapor feedback contribute roughly equally to increased energy absorption at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), while radiative changes due to the temperature and cloud cover response provide a negative feedback and energy loss at TOA. Decreasing land albedo causes a northwards shift in the zonal mean intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). The combined effects on ITCZ location of all atmospheric feedbacks roughly cancel for the albedo forcing; the total ITCZ shift is comparable to that predicted for the albedo forcing alone. For an imposed increase in evaporative resistance that reduces land evaporation, low cloud cover decreases in the northern mid-latitudes and more energy is absorbed at TOA there; longwave loss due to warming provides a negative feedback on the TOA energy balance and ITCZ shift. Imposed changes in land albedo and evaporative resistance modulate fundamentally different aspects of the surface energy budget. However, the pattern of TOA radiation changes due to the water vapor and air temperature responses are highly correlated for these two forcings because both forcings lead to near-surface warming.
Aerodynamic Analysis of Rear Diffusers for a Passenger Car Using CFD
Authors: Alkan Bugra
Published: November 2020

Increasing environmental pollution and fuel prices are the driving forces for automotive manufacturers to develop energy efficient vehicles with lower emissions. Improving the aerodynamic characteristics and reducing the aerodynamic drag resistance of a car is the easiest and cost efficient way to handle this problem. A conventional device to improve the aerodynamics that is used on sports and racing cars is a diffuser which improve the pressure recovery on the underbody. In this study, the drag reduction effect of a diffuser has been studied on a sedan car. To understand the effects of the diffuser, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations has been performed. In these simulations, diffusers with different angles were simulated to find most effective drag reduction configuration. Analyses have shown that, it is possible to improve the aerodynamic characteristics by implementing diffusers at the vehicle’s underbody.
Hydrodynamic Design Optimization of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle based on Response Surface Methodology
Authors: Alkan Bugra
Published: November 2020

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are available for scientific, commercial and military purposes, are unmanned marine robots that perform pre-programmed tasks under deeply submerged conditions and large cruising speeds. Extensive use of AUVs in oceanographic applications necessitates the investigation into hydrodynamic hull resistance of the vehicles where it is vital in determination of the power requirements and range of the systems. In this paper, a design method using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for determining the hull resistance of an AUV is addressed. Hydrodynamic parameters of fully submerged bare hull are investigated in a series of simulations with ANSYS CFX™ commercial CFD code and the response surface being analyzed for specific performance indicators. Moreover, hydrodynamic design optimization of the AUV hull with using RSM to minimize the drag coefficient is carried out, for a given performance criteria and constraints. Results demonstrate that the shape optimization in conceptual design of AUVs is possible by using numerical simulations and RSM.
Dance, Rhythm and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Scoping Study
Authors: Morris Phoebe , Hope Ed , Foulsham Tom , Mills John Paul
Published: November 2020

This topic of research moves the field of dance and movement therapy (DMT) into an area of clinical and social relevance by investigating the most beneficial features of rhythm and music for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The current literature suggests that rhythm, used both inside and outside of DMT, can improve communication skills and social development in children with ASD. However, the optimum features of music and rhythm are ambiguous, consequently limiting the integration of rhythm-based interventions into practice. To answer the research question “What are the most common features of music and rhythm used by registered dance and movement therapists for children with ASD?”, we surveyed 113 registered dance and movement therapists, regarding the most common features of music and rhythm they used within their sessions with autistic children. Most dance and movement therapists used music that had a 4/4 time signature (64%), was moderato tempo (45%) and had lyrics (76%). Qualitative findings validated why these were the most common features of music and rhythm. These musical elements could regularly be integrated into new music and rhythm-based interventions targeting communications skills and social development for children with autism in order to improve their therapeutic potential.
Clinical and functional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing on Veterans with psychotic disorders and recently-housed Veterans
Authors: Wynn Jonathan , McCleery Amanda , Novacek Derek M. , REAVIS ERIC A , Tsai Jack , Green Michael F.
Published: November 2020

Background: The COVID pandemic has upended the daily lives of everyone in the United States, negatively impacting social interactions, work, and living situations. The pandemic could lead to or exacerbate mental health issues, especially in people who are already vulnerable to such effects. Within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system two populations vulnerable to social and functional disruptions include those who have recently experienced homelessness (recently housed Veterans, RHV) and those who have a psychotic disorder (PSY). Methods and Findings: We conducted phone interviews with PSY (n = 81), RHV (n = 76) and control Veterans (CTL, n = 74) between mid-May – mid-August, 2020 (“current”) and a retrospective assessment relative to January, 2020 (“pre-COVID”). We assessed clinical factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, loneliness) and community integration (e.g., family and social functioning, work) at both time periods, and risk and protective factors (e.g., resilience, uncertainty) for the current period. The two vulnerable groups had higher levels of clinical symptoms and poorer community integration relative to CTL, as expected. Regarding the effect of the pandemic, results showed that all three groups experienced worse clinical outcomes (i.e., increased depression, anxiety, loneliness) currently vs. pre-COVID; there were no significant interactions between group and time period indicating all three groups were equally impacted by the pandemic. For community integration, there was a small but significant decrease in social networks in all three groups currently vs. pre-COVID. RHV showed a small but significant increase in independent living relative to pre-COVID ratings. Finally, RHV had greater levels of intolerance of uncertainty compared to PSY and CTL.Conclusions: Our results indicate that vulnerable and non-vulnerable Veterans were equally negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of a disproportionate effect of the pandemic on the vulnerable groups may be due to the availability and utilization of comprehensive VA services available to vulnerable Veterans (e.g., housing and financial support, medical and mental health services), which may have helped to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
Grade Retention in Primary School has Robust and Long-term Positive Effects on Academic Performance and Psychosocial Well-being. How to Avoid Model Dependence and Selection-bias in Grade Retention Research.
Authors: Van den Broeck Willem , Staels Eva
Published: November 2020

In this study, the effects of grade retention on school performance (mathematics) and psychosocial well-being are analyzed based on a large existing dataset that has already given rise to several publications. What is new in our study is that the data are analyzed for all years of grade retention and that different methods are used for which we thoroughly check the assumptions and if possible, test them. To improve analytical robustness, the effects of grade retention were investigated using different analysis techniques: latent growth models (LGM), cross-lagged panel models (CLPM), marginal structural models (MSM) and Sequential Conditional Mean Models (SCMM). Across the different methods, it appears that grade retention has a substantial and long-term positive effect on mathematics performance and well-being. The more the methods keep selection-bias and other forms of bias under control, the larger the estimates of the effects. Methods that make full use of longitudinal data are the least bias-sensitive. Finally, the size of the individual effects appears to depend exclusively on the intelligence of the pupil and on the ratio of grade repeaters in the school.

In February 2014, the coalmine adjacent to the Hazelwood Power Station in the Latrobe Valley of Victoria, Australia, caught fire, with residents from the nearby town of Morwell and the wider area exposed to smoke for six weeks. Although there was evidence linking the mine-fire event with psychological distress, no studies have evaluated the degree of distress in relation to the level of smoke exposure. We aimed to investigate the exposure-response relationship between particulate matter 2.5μm or less in diameter (PM2.5) released during the Hazelwood mine fire event and long-term symptoms of posttraumatic distress in the affected community, including the consideration of other key factors. A total of 3,096 Morwell residents, and 960 residents from the largely unexposed comparison community of Sale, were assessed for symptoms of posttraumatic distress 2.5 years after the Hazelwood incident using the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R). Individual-level PM2.5 exposure was estimated by mapping participants’ self-reported location data on modelled PM2.5 concentrations related to the mine fire. Multivariate linear regression was used to evaluate the exposure-response relationship. Both mean and peak exposure to mine fire-related PM2.5 were found to be associated with participant IES-R scores with an interaction effect between age and mean PM2.5 exposure also identified. Each 10 µg/m3 increase in mean PM2.5 exposure corresponded to a 0.98 increase in IES-R score (95% CI: 0.36 to 1.61), and each 100 µg/m3 increase in peak PM2.5 exposure corresponded to a 0.36 increase (95% CI: 0.06 to 0.67). An age-effect was observed, with the exposure-response association found to be stronger for younger adults. The results suggest that increased exposure to PM2.5 emissions from the Hazelwood mine fire event was associated with higher levels of psychological distress associated with the mine fire and the most pronounced effect was on younger adults living in the affected community.
Adolescents’ Future Negative Time Perspective and Risk-Taking Behaviors: The Roles of Coping Styles and Self-Control
Authors: Dou Kai , Zhang Ming-Chen , Liang Yue
Published: November 2020

The association between future time perspective and risk-taking behaviors has received extensive empirical attention. However, the underlying mechanism that links future negative time perspective to risk-taking behaviors are complex and not well-understood. To address this gap, we adopted a longitudinal design examined the association between FNTP and risk-taking behaviors, and the roles of coping styles and self-control in this association among Chinese adolescents (total N = 581, 46.3% females). Results showed that FNTP at wave 1 predicted risk-taking behavior at wave 3 via positive and negative coping styles at wave 2. Furthermore, adolescents with low self-control and used negative coping strategies prefer to engage in risk-taking behaviors as compared to their high self-control counterparts. Taken together, these research findings underscore the importance of considering influence of the future negative time perspective on adolescents’ risk-taking behaviors, and provided important implications for developing the preventions and interventions for reducing adolescents’ risk-taking behaviors.

Voters evaluate politicians not just by what they say, but also how they say it, via facial displays of emotions and vocal pitch. Candidate characteristics can shape how leaders use—and how voters react to—nonverbal cues. Drawing on role congruity expectations, we study how the use of and reactions to facial, vocal, and textual communication in political debates varies by candidate gender. Relying on full-length videos of four German federal election debates (2005–2017) and a minor party debate, we use video, audio, and text data to measure candidate facial displays of emotion, vocal pitch, and speech sentiment. Consistent with our expectations, Angela Merkel expresses less anger than her male opponents, but is just as emotive in other respects. Combining these measures of emotional expression with continuous responses recorded by live audiences, we ﬁnd that voters punish Merkel for anger displays and reward her happiness and general emotional displays.
Christian Nationalism and Views of Immigrants in the United States: Is the Relationship Stronger for the Religiously Inactive?

Previous research finds that Christian nationalism is linked to nativism and immigrant animus while religious service attendance is associated with pro-immigrant views. This finding highlights the importance of distinguishing between religious ideologies and practices when considering how religion affects politics. Using a national sample of US adults, we analyze immigrant views by measuring levels of agreement or disagreement that undocumented immigrants from Mexico are “mostly dangerous criminals.” We find that Christian nationalism is inversely related to pro-immigrant views for both the religiously active and inactive. However, strongly pro-immigrant views are less likely and anti-immigrant views are more likely among strong Christian nationalists who are religiously inactive compared to strong Christian nationalists who are religiously active. These results reveal how religious nationalism can weaken tolerance and heighten intolerance most noticeably when untethered from religious communities.

Quality of life has to do with the extent to which a person sees himself or herself as being healthy, comfortable and has the ability to enjoy or take part in life events. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks immune cells called CD4 cells. When HIV targets and infiltrates these cells, it reduces the body’s ability to combat other diseases. As HIV disease progresses the quality of life of the individual worsens. This study looked at the relationship between age, sex, marital status and Quality of life among 480 HIV/AIDS clinic attendees in a Nigerian tertiary health institution using the WHO-QOL BREF. 31.9%; 34.8% and 33.3% respectively had high, moderate and low quality of life respectively. The relationship between quality of life and gender was significant. Discussion of the result was based on literature reviewed and recommendations to guide policy formulation were proffered.
Rola polskiego parlamentu w systemie organów wdrażających wyroki Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka

The study presents selected issues related to the role of the national parliament in the implementation and execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It presents the specificity of the national law-making process as a system of ad hoc legislation, which to a small extent is a response to international obligations in the field of human rights.The study also attempts to examine the impact of the case law of the ECHR on the national legal system by analyzing the subsequent stages of the legislative process. It emphasizes the role of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, whose task is to ensure that states do not overlook — by their actions or omissions — the effects of judgments. The study attempts to assess the degree of sensitisation and the increase of awareness regarding the significance of the standards of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention) in the national institutions and executive and legislative authorities that actively cooperate with each other. The implementation of the guidelines of correct legislation in the context of human rights is an activity of entities involved in the law-making process which, taking into account the standards of national and international law, shape in a specific manner the situation of individuals as well as of all entities. Parliaments can hold the executive authorities accountable for the execution of obligations by means of various instruments, and thus many legal issues that were the subject of the judgments of the ECHR had significant impact on the legislative process and the undertaking of respective legislative actions towards bringing Polish legislation closer to the standards of the Convention. The Sejm (the Polish Lower House) and the Senate bear enormous responsibility for the quality of the adopted law; at the parliamentary stage the role of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Poland becomes less leading, but not excluded. This is what determines the unique role of the dialogue between the executive and legislative authorities, which should finalize the vision of the legal regulations closer to human rights in a constructive manner.
