Kritische Infrastruktur für den Journalismus? Zur Rolle der Nachrichtenagenturen in einem sich rapide wandelnden Medienmarkt
Authors: Meißner Florian , Vogler Daniel , Udris Linards , Sievert Holger
Published: December 2024

Nachrichtenagenturen haben trotz ihrer großen Bedeutung für die Medienberichterstattung bisher nur wenig Beachtung in der Journalismusforschung gefunden. Besonders zum deutschen Agenturmarkt fehlen aktuelle Daten. Die vorliegende Studie nutzt eine Kombination aus quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden, um den Stellenwert der Agenturen für die Berichterstattung deutscher Medien sowie die Entwicklung von Geschäftsmodellen nachzuzeichnen. So zeigt eine quantitative Inhaltsanalyse von Beiträgen verschiedener On- und Offline-Nachrichtenangebote (n = 4150), dass fast jeder dritte Beitrag (29,0 %) laut Kennzeichnung vollständig oder teilweise auf Agenturmaterial basierte. Der weitaus größte Anteil der untersuchten Agenturbeiträge entfiel auf die dpa (87,2 %), wobei innerhalb dessen eine begrenzte Zahl kuratierter dpa-Beiträge besonders einflussreich war. In einem zweiten Studienteil wurden qualitative Interviews mit Medien- und Agenturvertreter:innen sowie Experten geführt (n =11). Darin zeichnete sich die Erwartung ab, dass aktuelle Verwerfungen auf dem Medienmarkt für Agenturen nicht existenzbedrohend sind. Andauernde Marktveränderungen haben jedoch zur Folge, dass sich das Geschäftsmodell von Nachrichtenagenturen zunehmend diversifiziert und darauf angewiesen ist, Netzwerkeffekte zu nutzen. Darauf aufbauend entwickelt der Beitrag ein Netzwerk-Modell zur Darstellung zunehmender Verflechtungen im Agenturjournalismus.

Schulen der Männlichkeit
Authors: Gerster Daniel
Published: December 2024

Internate galten und gelten als »Schulen der Männlichkeit«. Daniel Gerster geht der Bedeutung dieses Konzepts, seinen Diskrepanzen und Wandlungen nach. Internate galten in den bürgerlich-protestantischen Gesellschaften des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts als »Schulen der Männlichkeit«. Aus Sicht von Pädagogen und interessierten Eltern boten sie Jungen den Raum, ohne übermäßigen weiblichen Einfluss unter Aufsicht von Männern aufzuwachsen. Eine Erziehung zu Männlichkeit war von großer Bedeutung in einer Zeit, in der das Geschlecht die soziale Stellung einer Person grundlegend bestimmte. In Großbritannien schickten daher zahlreiche Eltern aus der middle class ihre Söhne auf Internate, während sich in Deutschland nur wenige bürgerliche Familien dafür entschieden. Daniel Gerster geht in seiner vergleichenden Studie der unterschiedlichen Bedeutung von Internaten in der britischen und deutschen Gesellschaft zwischen 1870 und 1930 nach. Er untersucht, wie sich in beiden Ländern Männlichkeitsideale in der Erziehung angesichts einer vermeintlichen »Krise des Mannes« wandelten, und fragt nach Gemeinsamkeiten, Unterschieden und Verflechtungen. Zugleich arbeitet er am Beispiel von ausgewählten Schulen wie der englischen Public School Harrow und dem deutschen Reforminternat Salem Diskrepanzen zwischen den Idealen und der Praxis vor Ort heraus und legt den Eigensinn offen, mit dem Internatsschüler sich gegenseitig zum Mann »erzogen« haben.

We end with some questions for reflection on a new balance in the social model of life in society. We are reinforcing the deepening of collective participation and the co-creation of societal models that promote greater social inclusion, quality of life and social well-being.
Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice: Navigating Diversity and Context in South Africa
Authors: Bethuel Ramphabana Livhuwani , Frank Rapholo Selelo
Published: December 2024

Although it is a collective effort to promote and preserve the social welfare of societies, social work has been at the forefront in fulfilling such intentions in a more coordinated and structured fashion across the globe. The process of providing social services is far more complex than it is often imagined as the ‘context’ of indigenous communities should be an avenue through which social issues are acknowledged and understood before determining frameworks and methods to which appropriate interventions may be employed. Just like many other countries in the global south, South Africa is still in the process of reforming its social work approaches to ensure that they are appropriate and responsive to the human needs of the South Africans, without separating them from their histories, cultures, practices, and beliefs. The reformation is narrowly straightforward as social work education and practices have largely been influenced and informed by Western scholarships due to colonisation. As such, decolonisation of the social work education and practice in South Africa remains a mountain that should be belligerently climbed. Guided by the Afrocentric perspective, this chapter discusses cultural competence as a special flavour to strengthening interventions that reverberate and resonate with the South African context. Recommendations to the social work education, research, and practice are made.
Child Protection Services and Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Zimbabwe: A Social Work Perspective
Authors: Muzingili Taruvinga
Published: December 2024

This paper analyses the status of digital enhanced child protection within the context of social work practice in Zimbabwe. It critically reflects how digital child protection services have impacted social work practice. The paper presents key digital child protection services that are provided to children, such as telephone counselling, online counselling and digital case management, focusing mainly on child protection cases such as birth registration, abuse and access to justice. In providing these services, digitalisation in social work child protection services is affected by the absence of national framework on digital guidelines, difficulty in implementing core social work ethics, connectivity and digital gargets ownership. Finally, the paper shows that the current state of digitalisation has implications on social work ethics, social welfare policy and social work education and training.
Community Resilience, Community Rebuilding and Social Cohesion during New Normal
Authors: Gulalia Poonam , Subudhi Chittaranjan
Published: December 2024

Resilience is a concept that, in reality, exists on a continuum and presents itself across multiple domains of life. The education for all practice disciplines is also undergoing a paradigm shift through the construction of identity and inquiry into the personal and professional practice self. Moreover, postmodernism has seen a resurgence in spirituality and engaging with multiple ways of reality away from rationalistic and scientific paradigms. In social work practice, it has now been identified as facilitating authentic relationships, enhancing social cohesion and promoting a collaborative learning environment. Through an ethnographic methodology, the researchers attempt to chart the engaging journey of the past year with first-year students of the Master’s Program of Social Work. The community of students engaged on online and offline platforms to understand the field, themselves and their relationships with various stakeholders. Through a collaborative learning environment, students have been facilitated to develop communities of inquiry, reflect on how social cohesion has taken place, and reflect on how their own spirituality has influenced their practice. It has helped me understand the need to include spirituality in social work as being as important as issues of diversity, multi-cultural and holistic approaches. The transformative journey is a mutual learning process shared by everyone, and it constructs our common future.
Perspective Chapter: Chronic Kidney Disease–Related Sarcopenia Diagnosis in Patients undergoing Hemodialysis
Authors: David Silva Tobar Santiago , Andreina Lozada Tobar Leticia
Published: December 2024

Sarcopenia syndrome is a muscle disease characterized by the loss of muscle mass and quality, according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). In the general population, sarcopenia is closely associated with aging, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality, conditions that aggregate to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis treatment. Sarcopenia and kidney disease wasting (KDW) syndrome are correlated by an interaction of genetic, mechanical, hormonal, inflammatory, and nutritional factors that injure the metabolic muscular system, resulting in cachexia, a severe form of protein-energy wasting. The aim of this review is to comprehensively examine the concept, pathophysiology, and diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia as it pertains to patients with CKD and those undergoing hemodialysis. In this review, we analyzed the diagnosis and physiopathology of chronic kidney disease–related sarcopenia (CKD-RS) in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Authors: Pu Hongjian
Published: December 2024

Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing recovery following stroke, a leading cause of disability worldwide. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms through which stem cell therapy exerts its effects on brain repair and functional recovery. We explore several types of stem cells, including mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells, and their potential to promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Additionally, we discuss the paracrine effects of stem cells, highlighting their role in modulating inflammation and reducing apoptosis. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are reviewed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different stem cell therapies. Furthermore, we address the challenges and limitations currently hindering the translation of stem cell therapy into routine clinical practice, such as optimal cell delivery methods, immune rejection, and ethical considerations. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms and summarizing the latest research advancements, this chapter aims to provide valuable insights into the potential of stem cell therapy as a viable treatment strategy for stroke patients, contributing to improved functional recovery and quality of life.
Small-Signal Stability Analysis of Virtual Impedance Based Parallel Inverters
Authors: Neupane Deependra , Poudel Nawaraj
Published: December 2024

Maintaining voltage-frequency levels and balancing active and reactive power are significant issues in parallel inverters used in standalone electrical systems. Therefore, modelling and analysing parallel inverters has become crucial in developing appropriate control mechanisms to mitigate power-sharing and voltage-frequency issues in these systems. This study has developed a non-linear model of a parallel inverter consisting of a conventional Proportional Integral (PI) control with virtual impedance control. The equation system was linearised for zero initial conditions and steady-state conditions. The effect of load changes on the system was also studied. Additionally, eigenvalue and frequency response analyses were performed. The results of the study show that the developed non-linear model matches the electrical simulation performed in Simulink. The frequency dynamics and voltage profile of the system were improved by using virtual impedance control. The system’s damping increased by 2% for the most dominant pole, and the reactive power sharing also increased.
Treatment Strategies for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection
Authors: Cobongela Sinazo , Mgwenya Tintswalo
Published: December 2024

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains a critical global health issue, with 1.3 million deaths reported in 2022. Despite available treatments, TB’s high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, are exacerbated by the emergence of drug-resistant (DR) strains. The limitations of conventional treatments, which rely on older drugs developed over 40 years ago, highlight the need for advanced treatment strategies. Recent advancements include the development and approval of new drugs, such as Bedaquiline (BDQ), Delamanid (DLM), and Pretomanid (PA), which offer novel mechanisms of action against resistant strains. BDQ, a diarylquinoline, inhibits mycobacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase, while DLM, a nitroimidazole-oxazole, disrupts mycolic acid synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. Pretomanid targets replicating and non-replicating bacteria by interfering with mycolic acid synthesis and generating reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The introduction of these drugs, particularly in combination regimens such as the six-month Bedaquiline, Pretomanid, and Linezolid (BPaL) regimen, has shown promise in reducing treatment duration and improving efficacy for multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant MTB infections.
Optimizing Pharmacovigilance in an Era of Accelerating Innovation
Authors: A. Badria Farid , A. Elgazar Abdullah
Published: December 2024

Pharmacovigilance involves detecting, assessing, understanding, and preventing adverse drug effects. The field aims to systematically monitor medicines and promote their safe, effective use. However, pharmacovigilance faces challenges such as fragmented systems and passive reporting. As the discipline advances, priorities now include centralizing data analysis, applying technologies like AI for safety signals, leveraging real-world data, implementing proactive risk planning, and increasing patient engagement. Recent advancements have emphasized the role of machine learning in identifying adverse drug reactions (ADRs), predicting drug-drug interactions, and enhancing personalized care. Big Data and cloud computing also play critical roles in facilitating the efficient analysis of massive healthcare datasets, contributing to earlier safety signal detection. Moreover, the emerging application of blockchain technology promises to revolutionize drug traceability, data security, and real-time reporting, thus improving drug safety monitoring. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the need for robust systems that can enable rapid responses to emerging safety issues around epidemic treatments and vaccines. The next era of pharmacovigilance seeks to transform monitoring to improve patient outcomes worldwide. However, thoughtful implementation, focused on ethics, validity, and equity, is critical. The aim of this chapter is to provide perspectives on optimizing pharmacovigilance practices in an evolving landscape, integrating cutting-edge technologies to better safeguard patients.

Published: December 2024

Patients with craniofacial malformations or clefts are considered challenging in many services that do not specialize in this type of treatment. These are patients who need multiple restoratives, aesthetic, and functional procedures. The anesthetic management of patients with craniofacial malformations is challenging and can lead to unfavorable outcomes and the knowledge of these conditions by the assistant professional is of fundamental importance for the real benefit to the patient in question. We must comprehend the anesthetic problems linked to the patient’s various developmental stages as well as the surgical considerations since patients may need many procedures, ranging from primary closure in a newborn to alveolar bone grafting and dental surgery in maturity. Present and discuss the best and most current anesthetic management alternatives, airway management (including difficult airway, a very common condition in patients with craniofacial malformations), postoperative analgesia, common postoperative complications and systemic conditions associated with these patients allows adjustments to be made to working conditions and methods, promoting a culture of learning and a desire for continuous improvement.
Mobile Voters: Patterns of Electoral Volatility in Slovakia
Authors: Gyárfášová Oľga , Hlatky Roman , Slosiarik Martin
Published: December 2024

Electoral volatility is a perennial feature of Slovak general elections. Furthermore, volatility has increased over time, suggesting party system stabilization is unlikely. As the vicious cycle of new party emergence continues, high volatility complicates the attribution of responsibility, and thus accountability. The 2023 early general election found Slovakia in a very precarious political and social situation – trust in political institutions was historically low and public sentiment about future prospects was pessimistic. Focusing on this election, and using aggregate election results as well as exit poll data, this study analyses: (1) trends in volatility; (2) dynamics of volatility within and between two major political blocs; (3) individual vote switching between consecutive elections; (4) the vote choice of remobilized former non-voters; and (5) the motivations that underpin vote switching. The findings indicate that although some voters have made ideological commitments to certain political parties and are therefore loyal between elections, large parts of the electorate remain ‘floating voters’, dissatisfied with political parties generally. As such, volatility is at an all time high and may increase in future elections.
Return of Illiberalism: The Results of the 2023 General Election in Slovakia
Authors: Havlík Vlastimil , Lysek Jakub , Spáč Peter , Zvada Ľubomír
Published: December 2024

After a general overview of the context of the 2023 general election in Slova- kia, the article provides a detailed analysis of the electoral results and support for political parties. Using both aggregate and individual level data, we show that the results were influenced by a combination of long-term features defin- ing electoral support and voting behaviour in Slovakia and a more recent trend including weaker ideological attachment and the increased importance of leadership personality for political party preference. Also, it seems that the illib- eral mobilization may be traced in the dynamic of electoral shifts in the context of different behaviour of various societal groups. Moreover, the return of illib- eral actors to power in Slovakia seems to have been characterized by a surge of votes for conservative or populist left-wing forces in the larger Slovak cities. Although this is not reflected in the turnout, at the individual level we can as- sume that liberal voters turned out in smaller numbers, while Smer voters may have been more mobilized, or some voters may have switched from other po- pulist parties such as OĽaNO
Developing administrative and process-related solutions for the benefit of residential construction projects
Authors: Lapidus A.A. , Kuzmina T.K. , Bolshakova P.V.
Published: December 2024

Housing construction is a key segment of economy in any country, as it satisfies the needs of population and ensures safe living conditions. This segment must take into account the requirements of safety, environmental friendliness, energy efficiency and limited mobility, resulting in high-quality construction products within pre-set deadlines. Due to the fact that many parties are involved in the construction of buildings, numerous processes are underway. As a result, various risk factors may arise. They may cause a failure to meet deadlines and lower quality of work. The authors propose administrative and process-related solutions aimed at eliminating the most substantial risk factors. The study solves the following tasks: analyzing the general contractor's activity in residential construction; studying risk factors that affect the building construction period; identifying actions aimed at mitigating risk factors by applying administrative and process-related solutions; developing and implementing a novel method developed on the basis of the research projects. An expert survey was conducted among the top specialists from the construction industry, and a list of risk factors arising during the construction of residential buildings was made. As a result, a method is developed that enables the pre-assessment of potential construction risk factors and elimination or minimization of their effect. This method reduces the period of construction, improves the quality of construction facilities and, on the whole, increases labor productivity.

Published: December 2024

More than 1.5 billion tonnes of ash and slag waste from thermal power plants have been accumulated in the RF. The most promising direction of reuse is construction and repair of roads. The most material-intensive direction is the construction of earth bed. The aim of the study is to expand the practice of using ash and slag mixtures from thermal power plants for the construction of roadbeds in continental and polar climate. In order to achieve the goal set in the work the ash and slag mixture from different ash dumps of Irkutsk region was sampled. Ash and slag wastes can be considered as technogenic soils and classified according to GOST 25100 as gravelly sands and dusty sands. Ash and slag mixtures do not possess cohesion, have low values of internal friction angle, high porosity of particles and low specific weight, and small frost heave deformation. To evaluate the efficiency of ash and slag mixtures application in the structures of the roadbed of roads the design and construction of the roadway and the roadbed on the section of the road in the Irkutsk region was carried out. The technology of works on construction of earth bed layers from ash and slag mixtures is similar to the technology of erection of layers from soils. The constructed construction of road with earth bed from ash and slag mixtures has operational characteristics not lower than the construction of the adjacent road section with earth bed from local soils. Ash and slag mixtures can be used for construction of earth bed layers practically without restrictions.

Authors: Sirota V.V. , Zaitsev S.V. , Limarenko M.V. , Churikov A.S. , Podgornyi D.S.
Published: December 2024

Wear and tear of technical equipment elements is a serious problem that negatively affects the productivity of production processes. The work analyzed the strength of cohesive and adhesive bonds of wear-resistant coatings obtained by detonation gas-dynamic spraying method based on a self-fluxing alloy, depending on the introduction of B4C particles into the composite composition. The chemical composition of the cohesive bonds of the resulting coatings and the effect of boron-containing elements on their strength were analyzed. The method of transverse scratching of transverse sections of thick coatings is a qualitative assessment of adhesive and cohesive properties and helps to determine the mechanisms of their destruction. The purpose of the work is to study the effect of the introduction of B4C particles on the adhesive and cohesive properties of coatings obtained by detonation gas-dynamic spraying based on self-fluxing NiCrBSi alloy. Methods for studying coating samples obtained by detonation gas-thermal method: scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, optical metallographic microscopy, scratch testing. Previously, wear-resistant coatings based on self-fluxing NiCrBSi-B4C alloy have proven their effectiveness as protective coatings for centrifugal beet cutter knives. This study substantiates the feasibility of obtaining a composite based on such coatings with the introduction of boron carbide to improve its strength characteristics.
The high-tech and effective method of strengthening reinforced concrete structures with CFRP materials with preliminary modification of the cross-section shape
Authors: Georgiev S.V. , Mailyan D.R. , Solovyeva A.I.
Published: December 2024

It is known that the effectiveness of reinforcement with CFRP composite materials of reinforced concrete structures of round or oval sections is significantly higher than rectangular or square ones due to the uneven distribution of internal limiting pressure in the latter. This study is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of a new method of strengthenet based on a preliminary change in the shape of reinforced concrete and concrete columns of square section. The sharp corners of the columns create a concentrating internal limiting stress in the CFRP composite cage, while the amplification system collapses prematurely, and the amplification efficiency is greatly reduced. To comprehensively solve this problem, the authors have manufactured, strengthened and tested a number of reinforced concrete columns with different variants of CFRP composite reinforcement. For the purity of the experiment, reference racks were also made, not reinforced, and reinforced with CFRP composite clips without rounding. All prototypes were made of the same materials, as well as strengthened and tested using the same techniques. The paper describes the features of traditional and modern methods of composite strengthenet of reinforced concrete columns, analyzes the main disadvantages of existing strengthenet methods and, based on this, presents a new strengthenet method that allows more efficient use of composite materials in the transverse direction. The new strengthenet method is described in detail, the main schemes and procedure for performing strengthenet work are presented. The final stage of the work is the main results of an experimental study, where the characteristics of reference samples were compared with similar structures strengthened in the transverse direction with CFRP composite materials. The experimental results show that the proposed amplification method is highly effective. For the best effect, it is proposed that the material used for rounding has higher strength and less deformability compared to concrete columns.
Проблематика определения пределов свободы договора и сохранения правовой определенности
Authors: С.М. Рзаев
Published: December 2024

работа посвящена анализу проблематики установления пределов действия принципа свободы договора. На основе анализа законодательства, научной литературы и судебной практики, в работе констатируется наличие правовой неопределенности относительно действительности заключаемых субъектами гражданского права договоров в связи с оценочным характером критериев определения императивности норм гражданского права. Обозначая указанную проблематику и выявляя основные причины её существования, автор определяет возможные механизмы устранения или компенсации правовой неопределенности, возникающей в связи выходом соглашения сторон за пределы действия свободы договора, среди которых такие, как презумпция заключения договора в пределах границ свободы договора, принцип эстоппель, а также исключение недействительности договора (его условий), заключенного за пределами принципа свободы договора.

the work is devoted to the analysis of the problem of setting the limits of the principle of freedom of contract. Based on the analysis of legislation, scientific literature and judicial practice, the paper states the existence of legal uncertainty regarding the validity of contracts concluded by subjects of civil law in connection with the evaluative nature of criteria for determining the imperativeness of civil law norms. Outlining the above-mentioned problems and identifying the main reasons for its existence, the author identifies possible mechanisms for eliminating or compensating for legal uncertainty arising from the withdrawal of the parties' agreement beyond the scope of freedom of contract, including such as the presumption of concluding a contract within the boundaries of freedom of contract, the principle of estoppel, as well as the exclusion of invalidity of the contract (its terms) concluded beyond the principle of freedom of contract.

Проблемы и перспективы реформирования суда присяжных в современной России
Authors: З.Ш. Гатауллин
Published: December 2024

в данной статье проделана попытка выявления проблем в сфере организации и деятельности суда присяжных заседателей и поиска путей их решения. Автор статьи указывает на отсутствие единства мнения среди ученых и практических работников относительно необходимости и перспективы расширения сферы регулирования дел судом присяжных. На основе статических данных делается вывод о том, что из общего количества дел, рассмотренных судами в целом, доля уголовных дел рассмотренных судами присяжных заседателей ничтожно мала. В то же время, данные, полученные из Судебного департамента Верховного Суда РФ, свидетельствуют о высокой доли оправдательных приговоров выносимых судами присяжных заседателей. В процессе поиска причин вынесения значительного количества оправдательных приговоров судами присяжных, отталкиваясь от статистических данных полученных из Генеральной прокуратуры РФ, автор данной статьи полагает, причина негативной статистики суда представителей народа лежит в плоскости сохранении тенденции роста нарушений закона на этапе предварительного расследования, которые становятся достоянием гласности присяжных в процессе судебного разбирательства. Автор статьи критически относится к уменьшению количества присяжных заседателей на уровне субъектов федерации, считает отсутствие желания населения быть присяжными не есть аргумент для принятие законодателем такого решения.

The author of the article points out the lack of consensus among scientists and practitioners on the need and prospects for expanding the scope of regulation of cases by jury. Based on static data, it is concluded that out of the total number of cases considered by the courts as a whole, the proportion of criminal cases considered by jury courts is negligible At the same time, data obtained from the Judicial Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation indicate a high proportion of acquittals by jurors. In the process of searching for the reasons for the issuance of a significant number of acquittals by jury courts, based on statistical data obtained from The author of this article believes that the reason for the negative statistics of the court of representatives of the people lies in the plane of maintaining the trend of increasing violations of the law at the stage of preliminary investigation, which become public to the jury during the trial. The author of the article is critical of the decrease in the number of jurors at the level of the subjects of the federation, believes that the lack of desire of the population to be jurors is not an argument for the legislator to make such a decision.
Analysing a Chemistry Lesson on Ionic Bonding: Insights from a Learning Study
Authors: Andrew Vincent , Hj Sabli Hjh Rosinah
Published: December 2024

The aim of this paper is to report the insights gained from analysing an online Chemistry lesson on ionic bonding as part of a learning study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. The lesson was collaboratively developed by a group of seven high school Science teachers supported by two facilitators. Data collected includes the lesson plan, the transcript from the virtual lesson, and teacher reports. Insights were drawn from each phase of the learning study cycle – Study, Plan, Teach, Reflect. In the Study phase, the teachers came up with several presumed critical aspects based on responses to a two-part pre-test. In the Planning phase, a pattern of variation was used. In the online Teaching phase, we found potential critical aspects emerged when the students interacted with the object of learning, but this was not picked up by the teacher. The critical aspects identified from the learners’ point of view include the number of shells for each atom and the number of electrons in each shell. In the Reflect phase, we consider the role of facilitators in guiding the lesson to focus on the discernment of critical aspects. The insights gained can potentially support teachers on how to plan and analyse lessons using the variation theory of learning, particularly in the context of online teaching.
