Authors: Gómez Zapata Jonathan Daniel
Published: February 2024

La Música es una de las expresiones culturales más importantes de los seres humanos, en tanto que manifestación intrínseca de su creatividad, emoción, sensibilidad y belleza. Además, la música no es solo una forma de manifestación humana, sino que permite la construcción de identidad en la medida en que los individuos se reconocen como parte de un contexto y una comunidad específica; de esta forma, la música puede tener implicaciones en la configuración social y cultural, a la par que efectos económicos en los territorios. El objetivo de este artículo de reflexión es plantear la música como una necesidad humana en base a cuatro dimensiones que la configura y contribuyen a la transformación socioecónomica de los territorios, estas son: Desarrollo Cognitivo, Valor Social y Cívico, Estética del Ser y el Auto-reconocimiento. Como complemento a estas reflexiones se incluyen algunos datos de la Encuesta de Consumo Cultural en Colombia, que evidencian el comportamiento de la población frente a las actividades musicales. En conclusión, la formación y la práctica musical son valiosos instrumentos de intervención que contribuyen a mejorar el bienestar de las comunidades.

Konkurencyjność gospodarstw rolnych na przykładzie regionu "Czarnych Kujaw" w perspektywie integracji z UE
Authors: Straszewski Sławomir
Published: February 2024

Konkurencyjność gospodarstw rolnych w Unii Europejskiej wynika z realizacji działań WPR. Analiza niektórych wskaźników konkurencyjności wskazuje, że na terenie „Czarnych Kujaw” towarami konkurencyjnymi są zboża i nasiona oleiste, natomiast produkty pochodzenia zwierzęcego i buraki cukrowe nie są konkurencyjne. Zaproponowane kryteria uznania gospodarstwa za konkurencyjne, w myśl „europejskiego modelu rolnictwa”, spełniają gospodarstwa o mieszanej produkcji roślinnej, trzody chlewnej i mleczarstwa, natomiast gospodarstwa mieszane tych wymagań nie są w stanie spełnić. Z punktu dalszego zwiększania konkurencyjności gospodarstw w rozpatrywanym regionie najkorzystniejsza będzie szybka integracja z UE przy pełnym wdrożeniu działań WPR.

Authors: Goroncharovskaya Irina , Evseev Anatoly , Shabanov Aslan , Petrikov Sergey
Published: February 2024

The use of an electrochemical approach for assessment of the oxidative stress severity is a promising direction for point-of-care testing development, which is especially important for critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different types of blood collection tubes (with clot activator and separating gel, lithium heparin, sodium citrate and K2EDTA) and storage conditions (at 25, 4 and ?23 ?C up to 5 days) on the electrochemical analysis of the antioxidant status of blood plasma, assessed by measuring the open circuit potential of platinum electrode (OCP) and antioxidant capacity via cyclic voltammetry method (q). It was obtained that blood collection tubes with lithium heparin and clot activator are the most suitable for the electrochemical analysis of antioxidant status of blood plasma, since they do not affect the results of measurements. Furthermore, data obtained during storage blood plasma samples in different temperature conditions indicate that it is preferable to perform electrochemical analysis in fresh samples.

India with a population of about one hundred crores is naturally the country which requires lot of blood to save lives of its citizens. It has been quoted that there is a need of about 8 million units of blood every year in our country. In India 60% of population are eligible to donate blood, yet less than 5% do. Blood donation must be increased in almost every country of the world so that reliable supply of safe blood shall be available to dependent patients as per study conducted by WHO. The objective of the study is to study and compare the pre-test and post-test on effectiveness of STP on knowledge & attitude regarding blood donation among relatives of the patients who require Blood Transfusion. The data was collected from 60 relatives of the patient by using Self Structured Knowledge questionnaire and Modified Attitude scale using by before and after STP. Non-probability convenient sampling was used to select the sample. The study reveals that before administration of the STP in pre-test patient relatives had low level of knowledge & attitude regarding blood donation. The overall mean score of Knowledge & Attitude were increased after administration of STP regarding Blood Donation.

Authors: Al-Saffar Haider
Published: February 2024

Paediatric dental trauma presentation is a common occurrence which dentists are faced with in a general dental practice setting. Most dental traumas are related to the anterior teeth and emergency care must be to a high standard when dealing with such incidences. A thorough and accurate diagnosis as well as a comprehensive treatment plan is essential. Furthermore, good communication for consent, giving explanations and providing treatment options is a prerequisite for clinical treatment. This case report describes a clinical case of complicated crown fractures of the UR1 and UL1 in a 10-year-old patient, where both incisors were directly pulp capped with Calcium Hydroxide and original fragments reattached. Following from this, four months later the UR1 attained another trauma and was treated elsewhere but re-presented with pain and infection. The UR1 was treated with root canal treatment while the UL1 remained vital and asymptomatic, till this date.

Complexidades e potencialidades da Canábis
Authors: Paiva Catarina , Pita João-Rui , Pereira Ana-Leonor
Published: February 2024

A aprovação da Lei da Canábis para Fins Medicinais em 2018, em Portugal, assinalou uma mudança de paradigma. O mercado legal da canábis em Portugal tem vindo a crescer no que respeita ao cultivo de canábis para fins medicinais.

Numa época em que a expressão “canábis para fins medicinais” começa a ser usual, quer seja em revistas, em feiras temáticas, na Assembleia da República e na televisão, é necessário clarificar expressões.

A Cannabis sativa é uma planta extremamente controversa. Tem uma história botânica e química bastante complexa. O esclarecimento do significado de expressões e termos utilizados é fundamental para conseguir diminuir a ambiguidade relacionada com este tema.

Se há cerca de 70 anos o cânhamo (canábis) era abordado no Ensino Técnico Médio Agrícola, hoje a canábis para fins medicinais suscita bastante interesse no Ensino Superior, nomeadamente em faculdades da área da saúde.

As escolas podem ter um papel importante na prevenção ou adiamento de comportamentos de consumo pelos seus jovens alunos.Também aqui, ao nível da prevenção, é necessário clarificar a linguagem.

Pretendemos com este trabalho contribuir para a clarificação de conceitos (ou expressões) como “canábis para fins medicinais”, “canábis para fins industriais” e “canábis para fins recreativos”.

A definição prevista na lei nem sempre é tida em conta, promovendo a ambiguidade e controvérsia.

A abordagem do significado de expressões e palavras, nesta temática, é fundamental para transmitir, da forma mais clara possível, o conhecimento desenvolvido nas últimas décadas sobre esta planta.
Quando a Arte se Junta à História das Ciências: Newton, Goethe e Sugimoto
Authors: Valente Mariana
Published: February 2024

Resumo
Neste trabalho, de natureza reflexiva, farei algumas incursões aos textos de Isaac Newton e de Johann W. von Goethe, sobre a origem das cores. Conhecendo o modo polémico de Goethe contra Newton, não pretendo opor ideias e experimentações destas duas personagens tão importantes e tão diferentes na forma de conhecer o mundo. As abordagens fenomenológicas de Goethe devem constituir-se como complemento importante quando nos interessamos por uma educação científica que nos ligue ao mundo e à fruição intelectual. Há artistas que ajudam a pressentir a importância das duas abordagens, expandindo horizontes e não retirando espessura ao mundo. Destacarei os trabalhos de Spencer Finch e de Hiroshi Sugimoto. A valorização pedagógica da história das ciências que tenho vindo a trabalhar, tem sido alimentada por alguns questionamentos que vou encontrando em escritos sobre arte. De onde vem esta forma especial e tão artificial como o é esta do prisma triangular e que atrai a atenção de Newton, num determinado momento? Como posso, por exemplo, alimentar o gosto de ter nas mãos este objeto? Agenciar com a arte, torna estes processos de conhecimento e de experiência mais estimulantes e significativos.
 
Palavras-chave: prisma triangular, experiências do mundo, Spencer Finch.
Abstract
In this work, of a reflective nature, I shall make some incursions into the texts of Isaac Newton and Johann W. von Goethe, on the origin of colors. Knowing Goethe's polemical approach to Newton, I do not intend to oppose the ideas and experiments of these two characters who are so important and so different in their way of knowing the world. Goethe's phenomenological approaches should be an important complement when we are interested in a scientific education that connects us to the world and intellectual enjoyment. There are artists who help to understand the importance of both approaches, expanding horizons and not taking away thickness from the world. I shall highlight the works of Spencer Finch and Hiroshi Sugimoto. The pedagogical appreciation of the history of sciences that I have been working on has been fueled by some questions that I find in writings about art. Where does this special and artificial shape like the triangular prism come from, which attracts Newton's attention at a certain moment? How can I enjoy and making others enjoy when holding this object in my in their hands? Working with art makes these knowledge and experimenting processes more stimulating and meaningful.

Published: February 2024

Tropical citrus fruits contain important bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties such as antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This study provided comparative data on the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of tropical citrus (local lemons, imported lemons, and limes) juice and peel. Antioxidant activity of citrus fruits was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and expressed as IC50. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against pathogens (E. coli, B. subtilis, S. aureus) using agar diffusion method. The results showed that very strong antioxidants were detected in domestic and imported lemon juice (33.45 ppm; 31.43 ppm) and peel (15.89 ppm; 44.50 ppm). However, lime juice and peel had stronger antioxidant activity (60.35 ppm and 59.54 ppm). The highest zone of inhibition was observed against S. aureus and the lowest was recorded against E. coli. The diameters of the zones of inhibition of local lemon, imported lemon, and lime juice against S. aureus were 26.40 mm, 27.95 mm, and 27.31 mm; E. coli was 15.64 mm, 16.84 mm, and 16.63 mm; and B. subtilis was 17.88 mm, 21.77 mm, and 21.24 mm, respectively. Tropical citrus juice showed higher activity against Grampositive than Gram-negative bacteria tested. Local lemon, imported lemon, and lime peels did not inhibit E. coli, B. subtilis, and S. aureus. Keywords: Antibacterial, Antioxidant, Lemon, limes, Tropical citrus

Innovative non-contact r-r intervals estimation using viterbi algorithm with Squared Branch Metric (VSBM)
Authors: Zar Win Thu , Tun Hla Myo , Win Lei Lei Yin , Naing Zaw Min
Published: February 2024

Non-contact heartbeat detection with Doppler sensor is a critical component of remote health monitoring systems, enabling continuous and unobtrusive monitoring of an individual’s cardiovascular health. This paper reported an innovative approach for non-contact heartbeat detection using the Viterbi algorithm, leveraging the distribution of the difference of two adjacent R-R Intervals (RRIs). RRIs represented the time between successive peaks in the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal and are fundamental in analyzing heart rate variability, mental stress conditions and heart diseases. Numerous non-contact Doppler sensor-based methods have been proposed for heartbeat detection, leveraging the evaluation of RRIs without physical device attachment. However, challenges arise from unwanted peaks caused by respiration and slight body movements, even when the subject remains motionless with normal breathing. This study presented an innovative approach for selecting heartbeat peaks utilizing the Viterbi algorithm with the squared difference of two adjacent RRIs as the Branch Metric (BM). The preliminary experiments revealed that the difference between two adjacent RRIs closely follows a Gaussian distribution. Building upon this observation, this paper considered the Viterbi algorithm with Squared Branch Metric (VSBM) to estimate the heartbeat accurately. To assess the accuracy of peak selection method, an experiment was conducted by comparing it with two existing peak detection methods: (i) Doppler output after Low-Pass Filter (LPF)-based method and (ii) Spectrogram-based method. Results demonstrate that the proposed VSBM method is effective to detect the heartbeat accurately for each peak detection method. Furthermore, a comparison of the performance of “Spectrogram + VSBM” outperforms the “Doppler output after LPF + VSBM” method by the Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE) of RRIs.

The appliance underwent 27 tests, with an overall success rate of 88,89%.
Multi-affiliation: a growing problem of scientific integrity
Authors: Halevi G. , Rogers G. , Guerrero-Bote V. P. , De-Moya-Anegón F.
Published: February 2024

The past decade has witnessed a substantial increase in the number of affiliations listed by individual authors of scientific papers. Some authors now list an astonishing number of institutions, sometimes exceeding 20, 30, or more. This trend raises concerns regarding the genuine scientific contributions these authors make at each institution they claim to be affiliated with. To address this issue, our study conducted a comprehensive regional analysis of the growth of both domestic and international multi-affiliations over the past decade. Our findings reveal certain countries that have experienced an abnormal surge in international multi-affiliation authorships. Coupled with the high numbers of affiliations involved, this emphasizes the need for careful scrutiny of the actual scientific contributions made by these authors and the importance of safeguarding the integrity of scientific output and networks.
Trap and dilemma of urbanisation: Comparative analysis and conclusions for accelerated urbanisation policies
Authors: Tleuberdinova Aizhan , Alzhanova Farida , Nurlanova Nailya
Published: February 2024

As urbanisation increases, questions arise about the desirability of further urban growth, as it was not accompanied by corresponding economic growth, and social and environmental problems began to grow in the largest cities in the world. The objective of the article is to substantiate the limits of urbanization growth in Kazakhstan based on the study of theoretical views on this process, analysis of the dependence of social and economic parameters of 134 countries on the urbanisation level and calculation of the urbanisation level that contributes most to economic growth and social well-being. To achieve the goal, the following tasks have been set and solved: theoretical views on the process of urbanization have been generalized; a hypothesis has been put forward about the emergence of an “urbanization trap” in which the growth of large cities is not accompanied by economic growth and improvement of social well-being; an analysis of the dependence of socio-economic indicators on the level of urbanization has been carried out on the example of 134 countries of the world; the level of urbanization that maximizes economic growth and social well-being is calculated; the necessity of the development of small towns in Kazakhstan is substantiated. To solve the problems, the methods of logical analysis, analogies and generalizations, economic statistics, index, graphical, Pearson correlation analysis, Spearman and Kendall rank regression based on models in SPSS were used. As a result, the following conclusions are made: the hypothesis of a possible deterioration of socio-economic indicators in large cities is confirmed; the best positive result is demonstrated by the level of urbanization of 50%–59%. The recommendations are justified: in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to adhere to the level of urbanization no higher than 59%; the growth of urbanization should be ensured through the development of small towns; it is necessary to improve the methods of managing the process of urbanization and develop individual city plans.

Linking Work Events with Work Engagement: Mediating Role of Emotions and Moderating Role of Psychological Capital
Authors: Penza Aleksandra , Gasiorowska Agata
Published: February 2024

We examined the role of work-related emotions and personal resources operationalised as psychological capital (PsyCap) in the relationship between events occurring at work and employees’ work engagement. Using affective events theory and broaden-and-build theory as theoretical frameworks, we theorise that the perceived frequency of positive and negative events at work and work engagement is mediated by positive and negative work-related emotions and moderated by PsyCap. The results of path analysis on a sample of US and Polish employees showed that PsyCap moderated the relationship between the perceived frequency of negative work events and negative work-related emotions, however, we also found culture-specific effects of PsyCap. Our study contributes to the human resource development (HRD) literature by providing evidence of the role of personal resources in the event–emotion–engagement process in the workplace. Also, our findings deepen the understanding of HR developers in multinational organisations and provide suggestions on how they can implement PsyCap trainings based on culture-specific work environment.
Inhibitor of P-glycoprotein–mediated drug transport by curcumin in broiler chickens
Authors: Li Mei , Abdurexit Maynur , Xu Ziyong , Gao Yanhong , Zhang Yujuan
Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the role of curcumin in the regulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and its influence on the pharmacokinetics of P-gp substrates.

SAMPLE

39 broiler chicken and chicken embryonic primary hepatocytes.

METHODS

Chicken embryonic primary hepatocytes were treated with curcumin, after which cell viability, P-gp expression, and transport were assessed. Broiler chickens were pretreated with curcumin, after which P-gp expression and the pharmacokinetic behavior of orally administered sulfadiazine (a substrate of P-gp) were measured.

RESULTS

The preliminary results showed that the viability of chicken embryonic primary hepatocytes was enhanced by pretreatment with 40, 60, and 100 μM curcumin. Curcumin inhibits the expression and transport of P-gp. In vivo experiments showed that curcumin decreased the expression of P-gp in the broiler chicken liver, kidney, and small intestine. Pretreatment with curcumin changed the pharmacokinetic behavior of orally administered sulfadiazine by increasing the area under the curve (47.36 vs 70.35 h·mg/L, P < .01) and peak concentration (10.1 vs 14.53 μg/mL, P < .01).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Curcumin inhibited the expression and efflux of chicken P-gp, thereby improving the oral bioavailability of P-gp substrate drugs. These findings provide a rationale for exploiting herbal-drug interactions in veterinary practice to improve the absorption of drugs.
Popular Leader as an Asset of Soft Power: The Ratings of National Leaders and their Countries Abroad
Authors: Isoda Vytautas
Published: February 2024

The original concept of soft power embraced the belief that culture, values and foreign policy practice are the basic resources upon which this type power is based. This article argues that popular national leaders can also – maybe even more so – be treated as soft power resources as their popularity and trustworthiness go hand in hand with the positive public opinion about their countries abroad. This hypothesis is tested against survey data collected from all over the globe by the U.S.-based polling institute Pew Research Center over the last two decades. The data shows a strong positive correlation between the public confidence in a leader and the view of their country abroad in almost every case that was examined. The view of a country among foreign audiences often changes with the change of its top leadership. The results of this reseach cast doubt on whether national culture and values rather than national leaders are the preeminent source of soft power of any given country in international politics.

Authors: Borotić Gordana , Granoša Lara , Kovačević Jurica , Babac Marina Bagić
Published: February 2024

This paper aims to provide results of empirical experiments on the accuracy of different machine learning algorithms for detecting spam messages, using a public dataset of spam messages. The originality of our study lies in the integration of topic modeling, specifically employing Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) alongside machine learning algorithms for spam detection. By extracting hidden topics and uncovering patterns in spam and non-spam messages, we provide unique insights into the distinguishing characteristics of spam messages. Moreover, the integration of machine learning is a powerful tool in bolstering risk control measures ensuring the sustainability of digital platforms and communication channels. The research tests the accuracy of spam detection classifiers on an open-source dataset of spam messages. The key findings of this study reveal that the Logistic Regression classifier achieved the highest F score of 0.986, followed by the Support Vector Machine classifier with a score of 0.98 and the Naive Bayes classifier with a score of 0.955. The study concludes that Logistic Regression outperforms Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine in text classification, particularly in spam detection, emphasizing the role of machine learning techniques in optimizing risk management strategies for sustained digital ecosystems. This capability stems from Logistic Regression’s adeptness in modeling complex relationships, enabling it to achieve high accuracy on training and test datasets.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to map out social manufacturing research and the distribution of social manufacturing research, which can be used as a reference for social manufacturing research. Various studies on social manufacturing have been carried out to explore various insights on social manufacturing in different domains. This study was conducted in 2021, and explored the social manufacturing literature using bibliometric analysis methods. The approach used in the bibliometric analysis is the citation analysis to see one article cited by another article, and the co-citation analysis approach to find two or more articles cited by one article. In this study, the data source used is from the Scopus database, with social manufacturing keyword. The results show the types of analysis that have been processed include co-authorship (authors, organizations, countries), citations (authors), and co-citations (sources, cited authors). This research still has limitations, because it use the Scopus database only, so for further research, it could be added with other sources, such as Web of Science, PubMed, Crossref, etc. In addition, there are still many visualization results using VOSviewer software that could be explored further, such as the type of analysis citation-document, citation-organization, bibliographic coupling, which has not been discussed in this study.
La gobernanza de las cuencas hidrográficas a partir de la directiva marco del agua: incremento de funciones y pérdida de policy capacity de las confederaciones
Authors: De la Peña Varona Alberto , Mondragón Ruiz de Lezana Jaione
Published: February 2024

Objetivos: se aborda en este trabajo el papel de las confederaciones hidrográficas en las cuencas intercomunitarias en el contexto de la transformación de la política hidrológica española a partir de la aplicación de la directiva marco del agua. Para ello, analizaremos cómo estas, desarrollando la función de organismo de cuenca, han tenido que liderar un sistema de gobernanza complejo en el que se han integrado un número mayor de actores institucionales y no institucionales con percepciones y discursos disonantes en torno a la gestión de este bien común. Metodología: se parte del trabajo de campo de un proyecto de investigación previo, consistente básicamente en la realización de entrevistas en profundidad, a las que se ha añadido un número suplementario expresamente para la elaboración de este trabajo. Asimismo, el estudio se fundamenta en el análisis de documentación oficial y bibliografía relevante. Resultados: el sistema de gobernanza de la política hidrológica española ha experimentado una complejización como resultado de la aplicación de la referida directiva, justificando, a nuestro entender, la expresión de «problema complejo» (wicked problem) para aludir a ella. Conclusiones: en ese contexto, las confederaciones han perdido capacidad, no tanto como consecuencia directa de la entrada en vigor de la normativa europea como de determinadas tomas de decisión en la Administración central acaecidas al mismo tiempo que se ha implementado aquella.

A pesar de los acuerdos internacionales acordados en la Convención de las Naciones Unidad desde el año 2015 sobre el Cambio Climático frente a la transición energética hacia FNCER, Colombia como el departamento del Huila no presentan avances significativos en comparación con otros países suramericanos. En ese sentido, el propósito de este estudio, desde la perspectiva de la gerencia integral de proyectos, consistió en elaborar lineamientos para estructurar proyectos energéticos solares fotovoltaicos en el Huila y Colombia, aprovechando los aportes metodológicos en gestión de proyectos del PMI, PRINCE2 y SCRUM. El diseño metodológico aplicado fue de orden mixto, basado en un análisis documental sobre la demanda y oferta energética de Colombia y el Huila, las variables a tener en cuenta para el desarrollo de proyectos solares fotovoltaicos y las metodologías, mencionadas, de proyectos. Es elaborada una propuesta de hibridación metodológica y se establecen lineamientos para estructurar proyectos de tipo solar fotovoltaico GD, AGPE, AGGE o Gran Generador, con base en el ciclo de vida, procedimientos y actividades presentadas en la metodología propuesta y en los requerimientos legales estipulados en la CREG 075 y CREG 174.

This article reports on descriptive case studies, and researched the factors of improvisation in organizational resilience in the context of the Covid-19 health emergency. A total of 23 businesses in the city of Bogotá, from different economic activities, participated in this study. Participants were managers, owners, legal representatives, or executives from those businesses. The research type is descriptive with a qualitative approach, aimed at identifying qualitative attributes based on responses or ratings using the Likert scale. A Likert-type questionnaire was used, rating seven resilience factors, whose indicators were defined by reviewing the literature on the subject. It was found that among the resilience factors, those with the lowest performance were the components of sustainability, corporate culture, and innovative ecosystem; the determinants of coping skills and leadership were the best performing; meanwhile, human talent and the elements of flexibility and adaptation played an intermediate role in sustaining the business amid the health emergency. The study corroborates the previously existing theory and shows the possible variation in the influence of improvisation factors depending on the size of the company, its structure and organization. This study may serve as an input for future research related to the determining factors in organizational resilience and the behavior of companies in the face of different types of crises.

Observing Complexity in Teachers’ Choices: Preparing Preservice Teachers for Work-Integrated Learning
Authors: Langsford Dale , Rusznyak Lee
Published: February 2024

Although preservice teachers are familiar with classroom life, they are largely unfamiliar with teachers’ intentions and reasoning. Those completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) have just one year to acquire new insights into teaching. This article investigates whether their school-based learning can be enhanced by preparing them to analyse the classroom practices of diverse teachers. A module used to augment work-integrated learning, Teacher Choices in Action, has introduced more than 70,000 South African preservice teachers to key choices that all teachers make. They see how diverse teachers enact these choices through guided studies of recorded lessons. We use Legitimation Code Theory to compare lesson observation reports written by 83 PGCE preservice teachers at the start and end of completing this module. Initially, most participants gave superficial descriptions of classroom activities with basic explanations of what teachers do and why. Afterwards, their reports contained more complex interpretations of teaching, with more connections between their lesson observations and insights from their coursework. Guided lesson study potentially empowers them to interpret prevalent teaching practices and consider pedagogic choices for their lessons more thoughtfully and systematically, regardless of their educational backgrounds. It may also address some concerns about vastly different mentoring that preservice teachers receive during the practicum.
Navigating Tensions in Designing a Curriculum That Prepares Preservice Teachers for School-Based Learning
Authors: Bertram Carol , Rusznyak Lee
Published: February 2024

A long-standing concern in teacher education is the variability in the quality of practicum experiences afforded to preservice teachers. Although some variability is due to their personal attributes, preservice teachers often find it difficult to connect theoretical insights to teachers’ classroom practices. These challenges can be exacerbated when teachers do not explain the reasoning for what they do and why. School closures during the pandemic provided South African teacher educators with an opportunity to address this concern. We participated in developing a national online module that prepares preservice teachers for school-based learning through guided lesson study. This article adopts a self-study approach to account for the curriculum choices in developing this module. Three tensions needed consideration: portraying teaching as an individualised pursuit and/or a social practice, focusing on generic and/or specialised pedagogies, and focusing on the tacit and/or explicit reasoning that teachers do. We account for how we worked within and between these tensions. A module of this nature potentially enhances school-based learning by making the reasoning of teachers explicit to preservice teachers. To achieve this potential and to advance work-integrated learning as a scholarship, the conceptual underpinnings of the module and its curriculum design must be open to reflection and scrutiny.

Evrimsel Ekonomik Coğrafya Perspektifinden Turizm Destinasyonlarının Evrimi, Krizler ve Dirençlilik Bağlamında Antalya Örneği
Authors: GÜNEY İsmet , SOMUNCU Mehmet
Published: February 2024

Turizm sektöründe yaşanan krizler turizme odaklı bölgesel ekonomilerin mekânsal görünümüne yansımaktadır. Bu araştırmada, ulusal ve de küresel düzeyde önemli bir destinasyon olan Antalya’daki turizm kümelenmelerinde krizlerin oluşturduğu mekân organizasyonundaki değişimler araştırılmaktadır. Araştırmada karma yöntem kullanılmıştır. Birinci aşamada mekânsal istatistiğe dayalı kümelenmelerin tespiti için ArcGIS programında en yakın komşu analizi yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada kümelenmelerin evrimi için mülakat verileri NVIVO programında kodlanma yapılmış ve ardından betimsel analiz yapılmıştır. Üçüncü aşamada farklı türde ve yapıdaki kümelenmelerin krizlere karşı dirençliliğinin belirlenmesi için ölçekler uygulanmış ve SPSS programında ANOVA testi yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak bir bölgede farklı dönemlerde oluşum, gelişim ve değişimler gösteren kümelenmeler bulunmuştur. Kümelenmeler farklı konaklama sistemleri ve turizm pratikleri geliştirmişlerdir. Bunun sebebi farklı dönemlerde uygulanan ulusal ve yerel ölçekteki turizm politikaları, krizler ve talepte meydana gelen yapısal değişimler olmuştur. Araştırmanın en önemli sonucu kriz esnasında farklı kümelenmelerde uygulanan hayatta kalma pratikleri saptanarak gelecekte yaşanması muhtemel krizler için önemli kazanımlar olarak tespit edilmiştir.

Published: February 2024

Objetivo: Descrever um caso de dois irmãos com alterações comportamentais e seus aspectos genéticos baseados em análise de variante genética comum em ambos, através do exame de exoma.  Detalhamento de caso: Trata-se de duas crianças, filhas de um casal hígido e não consanguíneo, que apresentam alterações comportamentais, sintomas gástricos e alérgicos, além de episódios recorrentes de febre sem associação com infecções. Ambos apresentaram atraso no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, sendo a criança 1 com diagnóstico de Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade e a criança 2 com Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Os exames de cariótipos não apresentaram alterações e o sequenciamento do exoma da criança 1 mostrou alterações nos genes TNFRSF1A, GPAA1 e STAR e da criança 2 nos genes GALC, NLRC4, TNFRSF1A e HIVEP2. Considerações Finais: Existem vários genes associados ao neurodesenvolvimento e isso reflete na maior incidência de alterações comportamentais associadas a diversas alterações genéticas. Sendo assim, o sequenciamento do exoma dos indivíduos com esses diagnósticos torna-se uma ferramenta valiosa para melhor entendimento dos genes envolvidos, elevar o nível de compreensão da doença e escolha de intervenções mais eficientes.
