Media Dependency in a Multiple Crisis: Information Seeking and Media Trust After an Earthquake During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Vozab Dina , Mihalec Mihaela , Uremović Laura Hana
Published: March 2023

The paper examines the relationship between trust in media and information seeking from the media dependency theory perspective. Its purpose is to explore different goals in media use during crisis, and the role of trust and perception of misinformation. Research was done in Croatia in spring 2020, when citizens were experiencing a crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and an earthquake hitting the capital city of Zagreb. It is based on an online survey on a convenience sample (N = 741). Three media use goals were discovered: social understanding, self-understanding, and the play&communication goal. Education, age, and gender were proven to be important in predicting media use during a crisis. Media trust is correlated to social understanding goals and traditional media use, while the perception of being vulnerable to misinformation is correlated to withdrawal from media use.

Authors: Veloz Jaramillo Gloria Elizabeth , Tulla Pujol Antoni F. , Vera Martín Ana
Published: March 2023

Las mujeres kichwas realizan actividades productivas, reproductivas y de distribución en un modelo de organización patriarcal. En 2009 se modificó el reglamento del Pueblo Kichwa de Rukullakta (PKR) para facilitar la participación de la mujer en la gobernanza organizativa y productiva de la comunidad. Las mujeres han impulsado asociaciones y actividades con las que han mejorado las oportunidades de desarrollo sostenible (DS) de sus comunidades. Se presenta una breve referencia del enfoque de género en América Latina. Se utiliza metodología cualitativa (observación participante, grupos focales y entrevistas en profundidad) y cuantitativa (censo de la Fundación TNC). Se realiza un análisis de la participación de la mujer en las actividades de los cuatro modelos de comercialización del PKR. Cuando las mujeres participan en las asociaciones de organización productiva y de distribución, hay mejores resultados en el DS del territorio. Aunque hay un avance gradual de la participación de la mujer en todas las actividades, aún se mantiene una cierta distribución de tareas de acuerdo con las costumbres del pueblo kichwa.
Teaching feminist geographies in the Netherlands. Learning from student-led fieldtrips
Authors: Van Hoven Bettina , Been Wike , Droogleever Fortuijn Joos , Mamadouh Virginie
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the authors reflect on the use of student-led fieldtrips as an example of feminist pedagogy in a feminist geography course, a joint course by the universities of Amsterdam and Groningen in The Netherlands. The paper is a co-production of three lecturers and one student of this course and therefore includes teachers’ as well as students’ views. The authors conclude that student-led fieldtrips are a successful means of bringing in an explicit feminist pedagogy in teaching gender geography. Students were able to help shape the course using their own everyday experiences and interests and were able to contextualize their experiences in relation to theory explored in the classroom. This result is particularly important within the context of geography teaching in Dutch universities in which an empirical and policy oriented focus and a masculine model of teaching and learning dominates.
Una reflexió i una proposta relatives a l’ensenyament de la geografia en el marc de l’assignatura de ciències socials
Authors: Vilaró i Güell Miquel
Published: March 2023

El propòsit de repensar l’assignatura de ciències socials dins de l’ensenyament secundari obligatori (ESO), per transformar-la en un marc coherent d’aprenentatge que doni cabuda, més enllà de la divisió habitual entre geografia i història, al conjunt de les disciplines que integren els estudis socials, porta l’autor a reflexionar sobre el paper que pot tenir la geografia en la vertebració dels nous continguts i, alhora, a plantejar la necessitat d’integrar plenament la matèria en un projecte interdisciplinari que la doti de significació i utilitat.

Published: March 2023

El objetivo del estudio fue realizar un diagnóstico de la autovaloración de la competencia digital docente (CDD) del profesorado de la Universidad de Nariño (Colombia), de manera que se pudiera contar con información relevante para la toma de decisiones respecto a planes y programas de capacitación docente en el uso y la apropiación de tecnologías digitales. Para este diagnóstico se realizó una investigación descriptiva con datos de naturaleza cuantitativa que fueros recogidos utilizando un cuestionario denominado COMDID-A, cuyos resultados fueron analizados para obtener niveles de desarrollo de la CDD autopercibida en cuatro dimensiones y su relación con variables como el género, la edad, la experiencia o el tipo de vinculación. Los resultados indican un nivel medio de CDD del grupo de participantes, con una mayor autopercepción en la dimensión didáctica, curricular y metodológica y un nivel más bajo en la dimensión relacional, ética y de seguridad. En la discusión se analiza la relación de los resultados de CDD con diferentes características del grupo de docentes y la importancia de estos aspectos para la toma de decisiones respecto a planes de formación del profesorado.
Aprendizaje de los componentes del pensamiento computacional mediado por una aplicación virtual de la Educación 4.0 en el entorno del pensamiento complejo
Authors: George-Reyes Carlos Enrique , Ruiz-Ramírez Jessica Alejandra , Contreras Fuentes Yessica Betzabe , López-Caudana Edgar Omar
Published: March 2023

La Educación 4.0 y sus aplicaciones como la realidad virtual basada en web (WebVR) pueden ser útiles para fortalecer el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, debido a que el uso de esta tecnología en la enseñanza permite la participación en escenarios de realidad simulada que fortalecen la interacción y el desarrollo de competencias comunicativas y de colaboración. En esta investigación se evaluó tanto la aceptación como el rendimiento académico de 258 alumnos que participaron en una experiencia de aprendizaje de los componentes del pensamiento computacional mediante la implementación de un rally de conocimientos que fue diseñado en un mundo virtual tridimensional. El estudio consideró un grupo experimental y uno de control. Los resultados indican que existe un nivel de aceptación alto para adoptar los escenarios virtuales como espacio para el aprendizaje y que el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes mostró una mejoría cuando se generó en la aplicación de realidad simulada. Sin embargo, existen oportunidades que requieren ser atendidas para implementar con éxito estas experiencias, como el acceso a computadoras con alta capacidad de procesamiento y el desarrollo de habilidades digitales tanto de docentes como de estudiantes.
Assessment of a pedagogical model for STEM education: combining technology and collaborative tasks
Authors: Álvarez-Castillo Estefanía , Félix Manuel , Bengoechea Carlos
Published: March 2023

The polymer industry was boosted in the middle of the twentieth century when industrial production was made feasible. Nowadays, it is really difficult to find many everyday objects that are not made of plastic or contain plastic parts. Thus, polymer science and technology is an essential area in the materials engineering curriculum, where traditional (e.g., extrusion) and novel (e.g., 3D-printing) processing techniques can be discussed. Two pedagogical strategies were used in the present study. In the theoretical classes, a simple model based on an everyday object (i.e., shoelaces) was used as a demonstration of the structure of polymers, while a questionnaire carried out twice was performed in seminars oriented to the resolution of case studies. ICTs were used in both sessions (i.e., Instagram and Office Excel) to assess the learning process. The students determined that this approach resulted interesting for them, which in the end increased their motivation. Both strategies were successful, as denoted by the results of this academic year compared to the previous ones. This indicates that this innovative activity is a model validated by most students, increasing the development of their competencies and their motivation
A Study Of Bed Occupancy Management In The Healthcare System Using The M/M/C Queue And Probability
Authors: Rathore Rachna
Published: March 2023

Many diverse healthcare systems, including hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical business, radiology, organ transplant etc. have been modelled and studied using queuing models. Due to their analytical nature and capacity for speedy resolution, queueing models are well-liked by researchers and system designers and can offer reasonably accurate assessments of system performance. The problem of allocating the ideal number of beds to different wards, as well as assigning roles to doctors in various hospital wards and outside the hospital, is one that health care management is now dealing with. In this paper, we will use (M/M/C) queue to explore bed occupancy management, patient movement, and ideal bed counts in hospitals. Additionally, we will look for the probability that a patient will be chosen for a bed allocation and the expected occupancy rates for a specific time frame.
Tapping the Latent Resource (Women) as a Potential Contributor towards Increasing GDP
Authors: Mazhar Shabana
Published: March 2023

Women as contributors to the GDP have been undermined since ages. Despite

constituting half of the talent pool, due to lack of employment in the formal sector,their

economic contribution has been almost negligible. Roping in women in the mainstream

can lead to increase in GDP has been highlighted by a study by Mckinsey Global

Institute. It is predicted that maximum opportunity of increasing GDP lies with India

through potential participation of women with a scope of adding 60% to GDP. The

work of Indian women who are not in the mainstream labour force are not taken into

account directly for calculating their contribution to the economic growth of Indian

economy. They haveacquired certain skills during their formative years which goes

untapped as they don’t realize that they have potential to contribute towards the

economic growth and the GDP. Hence their resources remain latent which if properly

utilized can be a formidable force in the trajectory of economic growth.

Authors: Santana Leonardo Sampaio Baleeiro , Silva Juscimar Arruda , Goveia André Ribeiro de , Borges Samuel Marques , Costa Erenildes Pereira Ximenes , Lopes Aliny de Sousa
Published: March 2023

As crianças, durante a fase da infância, adquirem habilidades em nível social, afetivo, cognitivo, comunicativo e psicomotor, desenvolvido através do aprender a aprender, conhecer, fazer, através da interação com os outros. É assim que eles conseguem construir a estrutura de apropriação do mundo exterior, o reconhecimento de si mesmo e dos outros. O seu desenvolvimento e encenação estão sujeitos às possibilidades e formas de acesso a esses processos, bem como as oportunidades de vinculação aos diversos tipos de representação simbólica e comunicativa da cultura. Deve-se notar que qualquer ação adversa à natureza infantil afeta e impede o desenvolvimento de suas habilidades e, consequentemente, atuar em co-responsabilidade com sua condição de educabilidade. As repetidas e crescentes demonstrações de choque que se apresentam contra o ciclo de vida da primeira infância, levaram a suscitar reflexões sobre a recuperação do sentido de sua vida e o repensar de como a aprendizagem, a educação e o treinamento afetam de forma transcendental no desenvolvimento de suas habilidades e, por sua vez, na constituição das crianças cidadãs e cidadãos públicos com direitos e deveres; esta reflexão que levanta a questão como o reconhecimento da infância e suas competências determina o desenvolvimento de seus processos e sua transformação. Três aspectos são abordados neste Artigo: o primeiro refere-se à construção social da infância neste novo paradigma, a segunda trata da aprendizagem, educação e formação como forma de desenvolver as habilidades de crianças e no terceiro a importância desenvolvimento de habilidades na construção de ações para transformação individual e social.
ANÁLISE DA PRECISÃO DO TESTE F CORRIGIDO EM DADOS LONGITUDINAIS
Authors: Spigolon Roberta Araujo , Ferreira Wederson Leandro
Published: March 2023

A análise estatística de dados provenientes de medidas repetidas é realizada, quase sempre, pela análise de variância no esquema de parcela subdividida no tempo. Ocorre que eles podem estar correlacionados por sua natureza, violando a pressuposição de homocedasticidade das variâncias do erros, requerida por esta análise. Confirmada esta quebra de pressuposição, outras metodologias de análises podem ser utilizadas. Uma das alternativas possíveis é optar pela correção dos graus de liberdade do teste F das fontes de variações alocadas na subparcela da análise. Duas propostas foram apresentadas, respectivamente, por de Geisser e Greenhouse (1958) e  Huynh e Feldt (1976).  Objetivou-se analisar a precisão do teste F, via simulação computacional, das respectivas correções propostas, entretanto estipulando os cenários de balanceamento e desbalanceamento dos dados e, ainda, pressupondo erros com distribuição normal.  Pelos estudos realizados, observou-se que a correção de Geisser e Greenhouse impôs maior precisão no teste F, independentemente  de balanceamento, ou não. Já a correção de  Huynh e Feldt  impôs  imprecisão, sobretudo na presença de desbalanceamento dos dados.
Exploring children’s and adults’ joint appropriation of children’s books through the concept of playworld
Authors: Malilang Chrysogonus Siddha , Walldén Robert
Published: March 2023

Forskning har visat att skönlitteraturära texters position i nordiska klassrum ofta är som redskap för att utveckla språkfärdigheter och undervisa om strukturella aspekter av texterna. Detta perspektiv undanskymmer den lika viktiga kreativa och lekfulla sidan av att läsa litteratur. Denna teoretiska artikel adresserar denna obalans genom att visa hur konceptet lekvärld (Lindqvist, 1992, 1996) kan användas för att för att främja unga elevers agentskap och kreativa uttryck i läsandet av barnlitteratur.  Mer specifikt svarar artikeln på frågorna, 1) hur kan muntlig och skriftlig interaktion baserad på läsningen av en barnbok förstås i termer av lekvärd, och 2) på vilket sätt kan konceptet lekvärld berika förståelsen av studenters och lärares möte med barnböcker. Forskningen baseras på en klassrumsstudie i en svensk årskurs 4 med fokuset på diskussioner och aktiviteter under högläsningen av Wegelius Legenden om Sally Jones. Resultatet möjliggör att skifta perspektivet från individuella läsare och läsresponser till ett dialogiskt samspel mellan barnen och den vuxne som på ett kreativt sätt omstöpte och utvecklade texten. Konceptet lekvärld visas som ett redskap som kan främja både lärares och elevers kreativa möten med litterära texter som bidrar till en kollektiv fantasi.

Authors: Raihan Asif , Himu Homaira Afroz
Published: March 2023

Global transmission of the 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19), caused by the coronavirus 2 strain associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, has started (SARS-CoV-2). The pandemic has had far-reaching, devastating effects on human society, the natural world, and the environment on a global scale. The many links in the food production chain, particularly agriculture and cattle, are also badly impacted in terms of product sustainability and monetary losses. There has been a considerable drop in meat, milk, and egg production because of the global epidemic. National and international movement limitations enacted as part of public health sector control efforts have impacted the accessibility of inputs for livestock producers and farm outputs, veterinary services, farmworkers, and animal care businesses. As COVID-19 impacted the global livestock sector which is continuing, understanding and implementing sustainable approaches in livestock production is needed for both academia and industry. To respond to this need, this study carried out a systematic review of the existing literature on the impact of COVID‑19 on the sustainability of livestock performance and welfare on a global scale. Significant consequences on livestock performance sustainability, worldwide animal welfare, and mitigation methods are discussed in this paper in light of the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

Authors: Stete Ghiringhelli Juan Manuel
Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo de investigación se trata de una revisión documental sobre la Seguridad social en el Paraguay, con énfasis hacia los adolescentes asalariados, donde se menciona entre las condiciones laborales, el derecho al seguro social, es decir, se realiza un análisis jurídico sobre este derecho laboral del adolescente trabajador protegido, a partir de los 14 años de edad. La metodología utilizada en la investigación es de tipo documental con enfoque cualitativo, para el mismos, se recurrió a la revisión y análisis de distintos documentos, informes estadísticos oficiales, así como con un soporte jurídico nacional e internacional sobre el tema. Las conclusiones alcanzadas muestran que el grado de cumplimiento de este derecho laboral del adolescente trabajador asalariado en Paraguay es nulo, donde la gran mayoría no poseen seguro social, violando un derecho laboral fundamental en este segmento de la población. Pese a que el Estado paraguayo ha ratificado todos los convenios de derechos humanos, principalmente la Convención de los Derechos del Niño, en los hallazgos se evidencia que hasta hoy no se ha podido evitar la reducción de la gran informalidad laboral reinante, en este grupo de trabajadores.

Ruin des Zusammen-lebens
Authors: Illhardt Franz Josef
Published: March 2023

Corona showed us how important the medical and statistical data are. They inform, but are difficult to understand. We need more. We know too little about how people cope with problems, too little about what our life together depends on. We need a deeper understanding, in order to perceive the dangers to our personal and social life. This book tries to do that with thoughtfulness: it raises questions and calls apparent self-evident facts in question, it connects intellectual sources of thought by linking experiences from history, literature with the current problems of the corona crisis. And where do we go from here? Are there ways out of a battered social life to a new solidarity?

Can modern society adapt to terrorist threats without risking its own existence? Using the example of counterterrorism in the Federal Republic of Germany from 1950–2020, in this study the author examines how society deals with security problems in the modern age: she questions whether this form of counterterrorism is still up to date. Basing her analysis on the theories of non-linear systems, she then discusses how terrorist challenges should be dealt with in order to reduce the negative repercussions of, above all, political decisions on society as a whole. Finally, she suggests alternative counterterrorism strategies.
Peculiarities of developing text materials of modern media publications to increase their rating and reach a wider readership
Authors: Riabokin Nataliia , Gusieva Ganna , Dzyubak Nataliya , Lenska Olena , Shykyrynska Olha
Published: March 2023

The transition to digital technologies and the remoteness of workplaces put forward new requirements in the textual materials of the mass media in order to increase the competitive advantages of individual online companies (editions) and the perception of readers. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to evaluate modern means of forming the perception and expressiveness of texts in an online format in order to maintain the loyalty of readers and website visitors. The article proves the need to improve the perception and expressiveness of text formats of online publications as a basic factor in increasing the competitiveness of media companies due to the expansion of the circle of readers and their retention as potential consumers of information products. It was noted that site visitors psychologically evaluate text materials on an emotional basis. Therefore, this aspect is fundamental in the formation of the relationship "consumer of information - emotional content of the text". The effectiveness of modern means of expressiveness of the Internet media regarding the presentation of text materials in Internet publications and stylistic design is noted. It is indicated that the further development of texts from the standpoint of emotional content is possible due to the use of innovative technologies based on artificial intelligence. Further research in the formation of textual materials should focus on the "editor-reader" relationship.

The primary purpose of the academic paper is to analyze the role of information technologies in education and their potential application for forming communicative competence, taking into account the format of remote communication, the organization of educational conferences, etc. Analysis of contemporary educational outcomes following the rise in popularity of distance learning, which served as a catalyst for advancing information technologies in education, is a key component of the research. The theoretical and practical principles of developing communicative competence were outlined and its components were characterized using the scientific research methods. The academic paper examines the features of the modern educational process and information technologies used to improve the communicative component, which is one of the tasks of an educational institution. In addition, the research analyzes the current state of educational services and characterizes the key tendencies in using information technologies, taking into account the opportunities for developing communication competence. The implementation of information technologies in the educational process, whether in a traditional or distance learning format, has the potential to improve it in terms of practicality and efficiency. Using information technologies in education remains a priority, but a debatable issue regarding the possibilities of their implementation, the feasibility of application and prospects for development. The obtained research results can become socially useful to improve the educational process and enhance future specialists’ communicative competence.

Fazlur Rahman dan Teori Double Movement: Definisi dan Aplikasi
Authors: Umair Muhammad , Said Hasani Ahmad
Published: March 2023

This paper discusses one of the Muslim intellectuals who played a major role in the development of the interpretation of the Koran, namely Fazlur Rahman. He is known for his theory of interpretation of the Koran which is called the double movement theory. This theory is interesting to discuss because it is a form of renewal of the methodology of interpreting the Koran in the modern era. So in this paper will be presented the definition of the theory and also how it is applied in life. Fazlur Rahman himself received religious education from an early age from his father and continued his studies to become a professor in the field of Islamic thought. This double movement theory has two movements, namely first by starting from looking at contemporary times towards the time when the Qur'an was revealed, then the second movement returns to the present. In general, this movement has a combination pattern of induction and deduction reasoning. This paper uses the method of analytical description of sources related to the research theme. So it can be concluded that the theory of the double movement is said to be relevant for use in the modern era where the meaning of the Koran becomes contextual and applicable. So that we are no longer trapped in the meaning of the Koran which is only textual. So it is hoped that in the future new contemporary interpretations of the Qur'an will emerge from this double movement theory.

Mental and Physical Symptoms of Alcohol Hangover
Authors: Bereda Gudisa
Published: March 2023

Alcohol hangover can be defined as the combination of mental and physical symptoms that are experienced the day after an episode of heavy alcohol drinking, launching when blood alcohol concentration approaches zero and characterized by the constellation of unpleasant physical and mental symptoms that occur after heavy alcohol drinking. Significant changes observed on endocrine parameters (elevated concentrations of vasopressin, aldosterone, and renin) and metabolic acidosis (lowered blood potential hydrogen values due to elevated concentrations of lactate, ketone bodies, and free fatty acids) occurred during hangover and eventually causes dehydration and symptoms such as dry mouth and thirst. Females have more body fat and less water than men of the same body weight. Since alcohol is dispensed in body water, women reach higher blood alcohol concentrations levels than men despite consuming an identical number of alcohol units. Alcohol gets metabolized to an intermediate product, acetaldehyde, by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, and then acetaldehyde is converted to acetate by a second enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde at higher concentrations causes toxic effects, such as rapid pulse, sweating, skin flushing, nausea, and vomiting. In most people, aldehyde dehydrogenase metabolizes acetaldehyde quickly and efficiently, so that this intermediate metabolite does not accumulate in high concentrations.
Prooxidant-Antioxidant Balance of The Brain of Rats with Cerebral Ischemia with The Introduction Of L-Name, L-Arginine, And Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Authors: I. Bon Lizaveta
Published: March 2023

The search for new approaches to the treatment of acute ischemic stroke is one of the urgent problems of experimental and clinical neurology. This is due to the fact that cerebrovascular diseases of ischemic origin tend to grow, rejuvenate, are associated with a severe clinical course, high rates of disability and mortality. One of the promising neuroprotective amino acids is L-arginine. Most of the effects caused by this amino acid are associated with its ability to increase the formation of NO, acting as a source for its formation. An important role of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 PUFAs) is to ensure the functioning of cell membranes, transmembrane ion channels and the regulation of physiological processes through the synthesis of lipid mediators, which, lining up in the phospholipid layer of cell membranes, affect their fluidity. Cerebral ischemia is characterized by the activation of prooxidant mechanisms, as well as the inhibition of energy metabolism in the brain tissue. The introduction of the drug «Omega-3 PUFA» has a corrective effect on the indicators of oxidative stress in SCI. The use of «Omega-3 PUFA» in animals of the group with cerebral ischemia and the introduction of a non-selective NOS inhibitor – L-NAME did not have a positive effect.
Adherence to Medication and Treatment Guidelines: Most Important but Mostly Despised

Proper use of medicine or taking medicine in correct order is essential to cure any disease. Even patients from developed nations have trouble staying on top of their drug compliance. When it comes to improper medicine use, there is an odd parallel between underdeveloped, emerging nations and the so-called developed world in the West. The key factor influencing whether patients stick to their treatment plan is their understanding and perception of the disease.
