Simultaneous Analysis of Cilnidipine and Nebivolol by Absorbance Correction Method and Q Absorption Ratio Method
Authors: Fernandes Samantha , Nazareth Celina , Naik Bhakti
Published: October 2023

Two novel UV spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the simultaneous estimation of cilnidipine (CIL) and nebivolol hydrochloride (NBV) in combined dosage form. Method I was based on absorbance correction principle while method II was Q absorption ratio method. For absorbance correction method, λmax of CIL 242.6nm was chosen as λ1, as NBV shows nil absorbance at this wavelength and 280.6nm, the λmaxof NBV was chosen as λ2 , as both the drugs showed satisfactory absorbance at this wavelength. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 4-48μg/mL and 4-100μg/mL for cilnidipine and nebivolol hydrochloride respectively with correlation coefficients (r2) greater than 0.990. For Q absorption ratio method, 275nm (Isosbestic point) and 280.6nm (λmax of NBV) were chosen as the two wavelengths for analysis. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 4-48μg/mL and 4-100μg/mL for cilnidipine and nebivolol hydrochloride, respectively with correlation coefficients (r2) greater than 0.990. The developed methods were validated as per ICH guidelines. The % assays of cilnidipine and nebivolol hydrochloride in tablet dosage form were found to be 97% and 102%, respectively by absorbance correction method and 95% and 105% by Q absorption ratio method, which were within acceptance limits. The developed methods can thus serve as powerful quality control tools for simultaneous determination of cilnidipine and nebivolol hydrochloride in bulk and in combined dosage form.
Stability Indicating Assay Method Development and Validation by RP-UPLC with PDA detector for Simultaneous Estimation of Glycopyrrolate and Neostigmine in Pharmaceutical dosage form
Authors: Babu P. Vasu , Devi D. Akila
Published: October 2023

The presented research aimed to create a simple, precise, and accurate isocratic reversed-phase stability indicating Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) method for simultaneous quantification of Glycopyrrolate and Neostigmine in bulk and injectable dosage form. On a Symmetry-C18(150mm X 4.6mm, 3.5m) column, isocratic separation was accomplished. The mobile phase is composed of acetonitrile and 1% orthophosphoric acid buffer (70:30 v/v) flowing at a rate of 1ml/min, with detection at 255nm utilising a photo-diode array detector. To apply stress conditions, the drug was treated to acid degradation, alkali degradation, peroxide degradation, photolysis, and heat. Specificity, precision, linearity, accuracy robustness, and solution stability were all validated. Glycopyrrolate and Neostigmine showed linearity in the range of 1-15mg mL-1 and 5-75mg mL-1, respectively. Glycopyrrolate accuracy was from 98.9 to 100.2 percent, whereas Neostigmine accuracy ranged from 98.4 to 100.2 percent. The detection of Glycopyrrolate and Neostigmine test does not interfere with degradation products produced as a result of stress studies, hence this method is regarded as stability-indicating.

Authors: Harris Julie , Rains Michael , Gill Byron , Arulambalam Ajit , Rouse Paul
Published: October 2023

The aim of this workshop is to describe and explore current case mix costing systems in NZ and their use in funding. The workshop is designed to range from specifics (a cost system), through the process of compiling national case weights and their role in activity based funding, to a general perspective on these were used inside a District Health Board. The first speaker will describe the essential features of the Waitemata District cost system and how it relates to the National Common Costing Standards. The second speaker will explain the national system for calculating case weights and pricing them together with the determination of some specific price adjusters (e.g. the tertiary adjuster). Our third speaker will discuss what is activity based funding and how case mix fits into this together with some of the advantages of case mix in funding and decision making. Our fourth speaker will provide a historical perspective of how case mix was used in internal funding allocations and evaluation in a tertiary DHB.
All four panellists have extensive experience in the New Zealand health sector and a detailed knowledge of case mix and funding at national and District levels. With the end of the population based funding model and the new health body, Te Whatu Ora, this workshop provides an essential foundation for considering different funding models for the New Zealand health sector. Consequently, it should be of interest to managers and clinicians in the healthcare sector, and especially for financial teams, business analysts and those providing consulting services to the sector. The discussion will be moderated by Prof Paul Rouse.

Discussion topics:
1. Costing systems In TWO Districts - Description of Waitemata costing system and NZ common costing system
2. Compilation of case weights in NZ and base Price - The national system for calculating case weights, the price book and setting the base price
3. DRGs, case weights and funding - Activity based funding and the use of case weights for this
4. Use of DRGs and case weights in internal funding allocations and evaluation - Internal Hospital funding allocations and evaluation using DRGs and case weights (Historical Perspective of a DHB’s experience, 2007-2012).

Spreading of yield stress fluids
Authors: Joanny Jean-François
Published: October 2023

The spreading of complex fluids is essential in many industrial processes for example in the cosmetic industry. We study here the spreading of complex fluids in two different geometries: dip coating experiments where a rod is pulled out of a yield stress fluid and soft blade experiments where a coating film is obtained by squeezing a liquid drop with a soft elastic blade.

In the dip coating experiment with a yield-stress fluid, we show that the thickness of the coating film does not follow the classical Landau-Levich theory which is based on the drainng of the film. Rather the thickness of the film is limited by the hydrodynamics of the bulk reservoir. We propose scaling laws for the film thickness and discuss the cross over between thes two possible behaviors.

In the soft blade experiment we first study simple non-newtonian fluids an show the importance of the wetting length, which measures the ize of the blade a the tip wetted by the fluid. We then generalize our study to shear-thinning and normal stress fluids.
The onset of turbulence in shear flows - a matter of life and death
Authors: Hof Björn
Published: October 2023

In pipe, channel and Couette flow turbulence arises despite the linear stability of the laminar state and the transition is caused by finite amplitude perturbations. The resulting patches of turbulence remain spatially localized and die eventually. However prior to decay they may infect adjacent laminar regions and seed new patches. Depending which of these processes dominates either the entire flow will relaminarise or turbulence survives. This overall situation is reminiscent to absorbing state phase transitions in statistical mechanics. As shown specifically for Couette flow the transition falls into the directed percolation universality class. In order to resolve the relevant time scales of the flow and to determine the respective critical exponents, experiments with excessively large aspect ratios and observation times are required. In addition I will discuss further complications that arise in pressure driven flows such as pipes and channels. Finally, if time permits some consequences for turbulence control will be presented.
Teaching Squares
Authors: Palaniswamy Radhakrishnan
Published: October 2023

The Teaching Squares Program involves the formation of a 3- or 4-member group of educators from different departments or disciplines. The diversity in knowledge and experience helps to promote cross-disciplinary learning and professional growth among teachers. Once the group has been formed, the teachers select a class they will each teach during the observation phase. Other teachers observe each instructor as they lead the students and engage with them. Participants then meet after they make their observations to provide feedback. The teachers meet regularly to provide feedback in a supportive and constructive manner.

The Teaching Squares Program helps to promote continuous professional growth and development. As teachers observe their peers, they learn practical strategies that their peers use to encourage a collaborative and supportive learning environment. A significant benefit of Teaching Squares is that faculty can observe and learn from their colleagues. In this program, teachers observe their colleagues in the teaching process and give feedback using given criteria. Teaching Squares allows teachers to receive feedback on their teaching approach and strategies from their peers. The program encourages the teachers to reflect on their practice and seek practical opportunities for development and growth. This program is a multidisciplinary model for instructor reflection and assessment. Furthermore, Teaching Squares provides a sense of togetherness and collaboration among faculty members.

Usually, teachers devote much of their time to preparing lessons, teaching, and assessing students, leaving them with little time to observe and learn from colleagues. Teaching Squares is a structured program that allows teachers to observe and learn from their colleagues. It is a practical approach that can help improve their performance and effectiveness. This is a peer review process that allows collaboration and reflection among faculty members. Teaching Squares is a structured program that involves approximately 3 to 4 faculty members who observe their colleagues in the teaching process and give feedback using given criteria. The program aims to provide faculty with a platform to observe and learn from each other's teaching approaches in a non-competitive and supportive environment. The participating members follow the teaching process of their colleagues and then offer helpful feedback as they engage in reflective discussions.
Beyond the PharmD

Published: October 2023

Few pharmacy programs in the United States confer students a pharmacy and physician assistant (PharmD-PA) dual degree after graduation. The objective of this study is to determine students’ perceptions of the PharmD-PA dual degree as an alternative method for career advancement. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a 3-year pharmacy program in a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Students were asked about their familiarity with the PharmD-PA dual degree and its associated benefits and limitations. Students’ perceptions of the PharmD-PA dual degree on their career outlook, quality of life, salary, and its ramifications on the healthcare sector were assessed. Descriptive and chi-square analysis were conducted. Seventy-two students completed the survey from all 3 years of pharmacy school, and only 35 students (48.6%) were familiar with the PharmD-PA dual degree program. Students noted the benefits of pursuing the PharmD-PA dual degree to be acquiring prescriptive authority (44.4%), improved clinical knowledge (29.2%), and better career opportunities (18.0%). The main limitations included the additional time in school (40.3%), financial barriers of the program (26.4%), and increased school workload (16.7%). Most students believed that the PharmD-PA dual degree had positive effects on their job prospects, salary, career satisfaction, and allowed for overall improvements in patient care. Overall, pharmacy students had positive perceptions of the PharmD-PA dual degree program. Schools of Pharmacy should look into the development of PharmD-PA dual degree programs as a unique marketing opportunity for admissions and as a nontraditional method of career advancement.
A Community College Case Study on Curricular Maps and Student Retention
Authors: Ertwine Amy
Published: October 2023

To understand retention, evaluation of guided pathways (GP) implementation is an important tool. In an effort to help students succeed, colleges often give students a specified set of core courses and a specific or even prescribed pathway to complete their general education requirements. Retention efforts are always a topic with administrators at community colleges across the United States. The Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) incorporated GP into retention efforts in the fall of 2015. Over the past 4 years, CCBC has incorporated more activities focusing on increasing knowledge about GP. The pathways are Arts; Business, Law and Education; General Studies; Humanities and Social Sciences; Science and Health Careers; and Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Vincent Tinto’s framework is often presumed to be inappropriate to the study of student persistence at community colleges because social integration is considered unlikely to occur for students at these institutions. Community college students are thought to not have the time to participate in activities like attending concerts, joining clubs, or exploring art galleries that would facilitate social integration. This study examines student and faculty perceptions of GP at CCBC and whether they help with retention of the students for sequential semesters. I interviewed students who were enrolled in English 101 for the first time starting in the fall of 2015 through 2018. I also interviewed full-time faculty who taught English 101 on the same campus.
Quantitative Measure of Student Retention of Information in Human Anatomy and Physiology
Authors: Daniel Jewel
Published: October 2023

Retention of information is essential for transfer of knowledge from one course to another. Human anatomy and physiology (A&P), offered as a 2-semester course at Notre Dame of Maryland University, is a foundational prerequisite for many health-related programs. For this study the researcher attempted to quantify the knowledge retention decline in the transition from human A&P I to human A&P II. Two cohorts of female traditional college students were administered a cumulative final exam immediately on completion of human A&P I. One cohort (CS1) was given the same test 48 days later. A second cohort (CS2) was given the same test 48 days and 144 days later. There was a significant decline in retention of information in CS1, however, CS2 exhibited no significant decline at either 48 days or 144 days. Interestingly, there was no significant difference between both cohorts on the initial test, an indication that both cohorts were equivalently prepared. Further study is required to understand the disparity in retention decline between the 2 cohorts.
Social and Academic Integration in the Virtual Classroom: Techniques to Foster Community, Belonging, and Retention
Authors: Miller Stacie , Osman Sara , Farrar Jessica
Published: October 2023

In this article, we, as 3 faculty members in the English for Speakers of Other Languages Program at the Community College of Baltimore County, reflect on our experiences of transforming online and remote classrooms into a community during the pandemic and examine the literature that underscores how classroom community and belonging contribute to student success. We share research on 3 engaging learning activities that have successfully built this community among students in our own virtual classrooms: hall of fame, discussion boards, and jigsaw readings. Although what we share is rooted in our experiences as English for speakers of other languages faculty in the context of a large community college, we have chosen activities that can be applied in various contexts to foster community.

Introduction: Self-regulated learning is a cyclical process of forethought, performance, and self-reflection that has been used as an assessment tool in medical education. No prior studies have evaluated SRL processes for answering multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and most evaluated one or two iterations of a non-MCQ task. SRL assessment during MCQs may elucidate reasons why learners are successful or not on these questions that are encountered repeatedly during medical education.
Methods: Internal medicine clerkship students at three institutions participated in a SRL microanalytic protocol that targeted strategic planning, metacognitive monitoring, causal attributions, and adaptive inferences across seven MCQs. Responses were transcribed and coded according to previously published methods for microanalytic protocols.
Results: Forty-four students participated. In the forethought phase, students commonly endorsed prioritizing relevant features as their diagnostic strategy (n = 20, 45%) but few mentioned higher-order diagnostic reasoning processes such as integrating clinical information (n = 5, 11%) or comparing/contrasting diagnoses (n = 0, 0%). However, in the performance phase, students’ metacognitive processes included high frequencies of integration (n = 38, 86%) and comparing/contrasting (n = 24, 55%). In the self-reflection phase, 93% (n = 41) of students faulted their management reasoning and 84% (n = 37) made negative references to their abilities. Less than 10% (n = 4) of students indicated that they would adapt their diagnostic reasoning process for these questions.
Discussion: This study describes in detail student self-regulatory processes during MCQs. We found that students engaged in higher-order diagnostic reasoning processes but were not explicit about it and seldom reflected critically on these processes after selecting an incorrect answer. Self-reflections focused almost exclusively on management reasoning and negative references to abilities which may decrease self-efficacy. Encouraging students to identify and evaluate diagnostic reasoning processes and make attributions to controllable factors may improve performance.
Ursachen des Ersten Weltkrieges – eine geschichtsdidaktische Annäherung
Authors: Bilewicz Wolfgang , Enzenhofer Michael
Published: October 2023

Die Ursachen des Ersten Weltkrieges lassen sich in langfristige strukturelle Faktoren und kurzfristige auslösende Ereignisse unterteilen. Zu den strukturellen Faktoren gehören beispielsweise Imperialismus, Nationalismus, militärische Aufrüstung und Bündnissysteme. Die auslösenden Ereignisse umfassen das Attentat von Sarajevo und die darauf folgende Kettenreaktion diplomatischer und militärischer Handlungen. Der kompetenzorientierte Geschichtsunterricht ermöglicht den Schüler*innen ein umfassendes Verständnis der Komplexität dieser Ursachen und fördert die Fähigkeit, Zusammenhänge zwischen ihnen herzustellen. Hierbei kommt vor allem der historischen Methodenkompetenz eine tragende Rolle zu, zumal sie die Arbeit mit primären und sekundären Quellen, die Analyse historischer Zusammenhänge sowie die Re- und Dekonstruktion kontroverser Standpunkte umfasst. Durch die Analyse historischer Quellen gewinnen die Schüler*innen Einblicke in verschiedene Perspektiven und erkennen die Beweggründe der beteiligten Akteure. Diskussionen und Gruppenarbeiten unterstützen die Entwicklung argumentativer Fähigkeiten im Umgang mit dem Thema. Durch die Entwicklung von historischem Denken und kritischem Urteilsvermögen sind die Schüler*innen in der Lage, die Auswirkungen des Ersten Weltkrieges auf die gegenwärtige Zeit besser zu verstehen und potenzielle Parallelen zu aktuellen politischen und sozialen Entwicklungen zu erkennen.

Published: October 2023

Eine wesentliche Aufgabe der Polytechnischen Schulen in Österreich ist die Berufsorientierung. Schüler*innen sollen im Übergang Schule–Beruf professionell begleitet werden. Ziele der Berufsorientierung sind es, die Jugendlichen in ihrem ersten beruflichen Übergang zu unterstützen und die Entwicklung ihrer Berufswahlkompetenz zu fördern. Dieses Kompetenzbündel befähigt die Jugendlichen auch zukünftig, angesichts gesellschaftlicher Transformation selbstbestimmte Entscheidungen in ihrer Berufsbiographie zu treffen. Die Schule wird so zum Ort für Transformation zu lernen, übernimmt auch in der schulischen Berufsorientierung eine Kompensations- und Förderfunktion und soll Benachteiligungen bei der Berufswahl aufgrund von Heterogenitätsmerkmalen entgegenwirken. Dafür ist es wichtig, bereits zu Beginn der PTS die Ausgangslage benachteiligter Schüler*innen, insbesondere deren Berufswahlkompetenz und berufliche Zielklarheit, mit einem geeigneten Diagnoseinstrument evidenzbasiert festzustellen. Der vorliegende Beitrag präsentiert erste Ergebnisse einer bundesländerübergreifenden Erhebung an Polytechnischen Schulen zum Stand der Berufswahlkompetenz zu Schuljahresbeginn. Es wird untersucht, inwiefern Berufswahlkompetenz, Berufswahlklarheit und Heterogenitätsmerkmale zusammenhängen und beispielhaft Subgruppen mit unterschiedlichen Unterstützungsbedarfen ableitet.

Published: October 2023

Personen, die die Jüngsten bilden, benötigen selbst kontinuierliche Fort- und Weiterbildung. Teilnehmer*innenorientierung als didaktisches Konzept in der Fort- und Weiterbildung stellt eine vielversprechendes Instrumentarium in der Erweiterung von Bildungsangeboten dar, weg von der klassischen Orientierung am Inhalt (dem zu vermittelnden Objekt) hin zur Orientierung an den teilnehmenden Akteur*innen (den lernenden und lehrenden Subjekten) dar, um den Lerngewinn qualitativ als auch quantitativ möglichst hoch zu halten. Im folgenden Forschungsbericht werden die Ergebnisse einer Studie (2018-2021) mit dem Fokus auf Fort- und Weiterbildung im (elementar) pädagogischen Kontext präsentiert. Das theoretische Konstrukt der Teilnehmer*innenorientierung erfährt darin eine direkte Spiegelung durch die Anwender*innen in der Praxis. Potential und Grenzen der TO werden aufgezeigt.
Einfühlung in die Transformation
Authors: Wiesner Christian
Published: October 2023

Der vorliegende Beitrag erkundet den Begriff der Transformation, indem die Theorie von Charles Sanders Peirce zur Klärung der Deduktion, Induktion und Abduktion herangezogen wird. Dabei stellt die Abduktion ein Kernmoment des Transformativen dar, was wiederum durch das erkenntnistheoretische Credo von Albert Einstein anschaulich aufgezeigt werden kann. Gerade das Miteinander und Ineinander der beiden theoretischen Veranschaulichungen von Peirce und Einstein ermöglichen tiefgehende Einblicke in das Phänomen der Transformation und eröffnen erste nachvollziehbare und argumentierbare Verortungen.
Superación de los daños provocados a niñas, niños y adolescentes víctimas de violencia sexual
Authors: Habed Blandón Víctor Manuel Habed Blandón
Published: October 2023

El presente ensayo analiza la regulación y efectividad de cumplimiento en Nicaragua del derecho constitucional que tienen las niñas, niños y adolescentes, víctimas de violencia sexual, a la reparación de los daños sufridos como consecuencia del delito. Para ello se examinan los mecanismos, leyes y procedimientos que se llevan a cabo para lograr la reparación del daño causado a estas víctimas. A su vez, como política de Estado, se evidencia que Nicaragua ha aprobado y suscrito diversos cuerpos normativos, tanto nacionales como internacionales, que tutelan estas garantías, adecuando, simplificando y protegiendo estos derechos, en los procedimientos penales en cumplimiento con el deber de aplicación de justicia restaurativa para las víctimas y en especial la aplicación efectiva en la reparación integral del daño causado por el agresor. Sin embargo, a pesar de los diversos esfuerzos que en sede penal el Estado ha asegurado para el logro de la reparación efectiva por parte del agresor del daño provocado a las víctimas, a través de mecanismos y procedimientos eficaces y expeditos, tales mecanismos han resultado insuficientes para el logro de esta reparación por razones propias de la misma víctima, que se exponen a continuación.

Authors: Marenco Javier
Published: October 2023

A partir de la década de los 80, las prácticas agroecológicas en Nicaragua se han convertido en un modelo de producción, que poco a poco ha venido siendo asumido e implementado, de manera individual o asociativa por agentes productivos del país. Estas prácticas buscan contribuir a la solución de problemas aún presentes en zonas importantes de la producción agropecuaria. Es un modelo que, en su esencia, está enfocado en la generación de cambios en las prácticas de producción agrícola tradicional con el fin de lograr aportes sustantivos al desarrollo local. En este texto de revisión, se hace un recuento bibliográfico alusivo a las prácticas agroecológicas en Nicaragua. Es una exploración que describe el surgimiento, formalización, relevancia y vinculación con otras estrategias y desafíos agroecológicos en el país. Los resultados obtenidos de esta pesquisa han permitido reflexionar sobre la importancia que tienen estos métodos alternativos de producción y su aporte al desarrollo local y social en diferentes zonas del territorio nacional. En resumen, en este trabajo se evidencia la importancia de los métodos alternos de producción y cómo estos procesos, incentivan a la reflexión para la búsqueda de soluciones a los daños ocasionados en los distintos ecosistemas, por prácticas contrarias a las realidades existentes en cada zona de producción.

Published: October 2023

SDN Rawarengas 2 is a school located in one of the areas in Tangerang Regency, precisely in Rawarengas Village. Learning is basically a process of interaction between educators and students, both direct (face-to-face) and indirect interaction (learning activities using learning media in web applications). Multicultural-based learning in elementary schools plays an important role in developing the nation's character that is inclusive and respects diversity. In this era of globalization, society is increasingly diverse with various cultural backgrounds, tribes, religions, and different traditions. Therefore, education that focuses on multiculturalism is important to prepare the younger generation to face the challenges and needs of an increasingly complex society. This study used an interview method to one of the teachers of SDN Rawarengas 2. The interview was conducted directly/offline by approaching the speakers.
The Joint predictive effects of Teachers’ Enjoyment, Anxiety, and Boredom on Students’ Enjoyment in Higher Education Settings
Authors: Amiri Elmakki
Published: October 2023

The flourishing of positive psychology (PP) in education has shifted the focus to the crucial role of neglected emotions (e.g. enjoyment, boredom, hope). Yet, studies about how teachers’ emotions are combined and have joint effects in predicting students’ emotions are hardly available. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between student-perceived teacher enjoyment (PTE), anxiety (PTA), and boredom (PTB) and students’ self-reported enjoyment (SE). As such, how the three perceived teacher emotions jointly predict SE was also investigated. A total of 760 university students (Mage= 21.07, SD = 3.59), enrolled in a public university in Morocco, participated in this study through completing an anonymous questionnaire. Statistical analyses (correlation and regression) showed that PTE and PTB were found to be the only significant predictors of SE. They contributed uniquely and significantly to the overall model, which explained 9% (R2 = .9) of the variance in the outcome variable (SE). The effect of PTB was increased within the regression model compared to the independent effect. This is interpreted as a demonstration of the positive emotional crossover from teachers to students. Furthermore, PTA did not emerge as a significant predictor for SE. Implications for future research and educational practice are discussed.
Narratives of College Students Raised by Single Fathers

Published: October 2023

The family serves as the foundational building block of society, and individuals often leverage their family as a foundation for achieving a better life, especially students. This research employed a qualitative research design, specifically a narrative approach. This study aimed to explore the experiences of students raised by single fathers. To ensure validity, the questionnaire was carefully crafted, and refined with the guidance of an expert. Remote interviews using an unstructured questionnaire were conducted with three students, capturing their experiences comprehensively. Thematic analysis was applied to identify meaning patterns and ethical principles were upheld throughout, ensuring participant well-being and confidentiality. The stories told by the researchers’ participants include their struggles and experiences including developing independence and emotional longing for a mother. In addition, acceptance of the situation and support system were the strategies for overcoming challenges. Part of their realizations were increased motivation in their studies, resilient, and longing for a complete family. Single fathers could affect the holistic development of the child, knowing that all participants were college students. All participants share a positive perspective on life. This only shows that despite having a missing maternal fragment in their childhood they were still able to dream of a complete family someday. Their stories could bring some inspiration to those students who have the same situation and stories. The findings underscore the importance of emotional connections and personal growth in navigating challenges and pursuing success.
Examination of Mathematics Teachers’ Orchestration Types Specific to Their Dynamic Geometry Software-Based Emergency Remote Teaching
Authors: DEĞERLİ Mustafa , UYGAN Candaş
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study is to examine secondary school mathematics teachers’ orchestration types specific to their dynamic geometry software-based emergency remote teaching. The theoretical lens of the study is instrumental orchestration in which teachers’ teaching styles with the use of technological tools are defined as orchestration types. The study was designed as a case study whose participants were two secondary school mathematics teachers (Faruk and Ela) experienced in the use of dynamic geometry software in their face-to-face teaching processes. Semi-structured interviews and observations were performed in order to collect the data in the study. The collected data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis method. The results of the study reveal that the teachers developed two new orchestration types during the emergency remote teaching process While Faruk developed the Teacher-in-sherpa-role orchestration in which the teacher performed the operations asked by the students; both teachers performed the Screen-as-board in which they used virtual pen to draw auxiliary lines, place marks and take notes on the screen. In addition, Ela adapted the Monitor-and-guide orchestration into her teaching process, in which a student-monitoring system regarding dynamic geometry activities played an essential role. The results show that various orchestration types identified in the literature do not occur in the remote teaching processes due to their characteristics regarding the physical classroom environment. It is suggested that further studies focus to examine the orchestration types developed by mathematics teachers in the post-pandemic remote teaching processes.

Study of Memory and Imagination in Updike’s Works
Authors: Liu Qingzheng
Published: October 2023

Chinese and foreign scholars have conducted extensive research on Updike’s works and achieved fruitful results. In several of his novels, Updike describes a series of problems that modern people encounter at work, family, and feeling, and explores ways and means to overcome these problems. Chinese and foreign scholars have explored this issue from different perspectives and achieved certain results, but few scholars have studied it from the perspective of memory and imagination. Memory and imagination are an active exploration of this issue by Updike, but they are usually overlooked by researchers. This paper tries to use Marcuse’s discourse on memory and imagination to explore the survival difficulties encountered by the characters in Updike’s three novels, analyze how the characters in the works use memory and imagination as a way to get rid of the predicament, and explore the impact of memory and imagination on reality. Through analysis, this paper hopes to explore the answers to the above questions.

Pandemi alanlarında çalışmak ciddi bir iş yükünü beraberinde getirmekte, hemşirelerde fiziksel ve ruhsal zorlanmaya neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışma korona virüs (2019-nCoV) servislerinde çalışan hemşirelerin işe bağlı gerginlik, algılanan stres ve iş doyumunu değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmış tanımlayıcı nitelikte bir çalışmadır. Çalışma, İstanbul’da bir vakıf üniversitesi hastaneler kompleksinin 2019-nCoV servislerinde çalışan 131 hemşirenin katılımı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada veriler; hemşirelerin sosyo-demografik ve iş koşulları ilgili bazı özelliklerini içeren bir anket formu, işe bağlı gerginlik ölçeği, iş doyumu ölçeği ve algılanan stres ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmada hemşirelerin “iş doyumu ölçeği” puan ortalamalarının 66.87±17.50 “İşe Bağlı Gerginlik Ölçeği” puan ortalamalarının 40.29±5.89, “Algılanan Stres Ölçeği” puan ortalamalarının ise 44.60±8.61 olduğu saptanmıştır.Buna göre, pandemi servislerinde çalışan hemşirelerin hem iş doyumu hem de işe bağlı gerginliği ve algıladığı stresi ortalamanın üzerindedir. Çalışmamızda aynı zamanda; iş doyumu ölçeği, işe bağlı gerginlik ölçekleri arasında negatif yönlü kuvvetli ilişki saptanmış olup, işe bağlı gerginlik arttıkça, iş doyumunun azaldığı görülmüştür (p<0.05). Pandemi servislerinde çalışma süresinin uzunluğu, aylık çalışma saatlerinin fazlalığı; işe bağlı gerginlik, algılanan stres ve iş doyumu üzerinde olumsuz etkisi olan ortak etkenler olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Çalışma sonuçlarımız, pandemiyle mücadelede ön cephede savaşan sağlık çalışanlarından olan hemşirelerin psikososyal açıdan zorlandıklarını vurgulamakta ve desteklenmelerinin önemine dikkat çekmektedir

Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada, etik liderliğin algılanan stres ve iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini literatür doğrultusunda incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Etik liderlerin etik ilke ve değerlere uygun tutum ve davranışlarda bulunması, çalışan performansı ve algıladığı stres üzerinde etkilidir. Bir başka ifade ile etik liderlik özelliği gösteren yöneticilerin yönettiği örgütlerde çalışanların daha yüksek iş performansı gösterdiği ve daha düşük stres algıları bulunmaktadır. Bu açıdan örgüt verimliliği ve çalışan memnuniyeti yüksektir. Etik liderlerin örgüt verimliliği ve çalışan memnuniyeti üzerindeki olumlu etkisi sebebiyle hizmet kalitesini ön plana çıkarmak isteyen örgütler, etik lider özelliğine sahip liderler ile çalışmayı istemektedirler. Etik liderler beraber çalıştıkları örgüt üyelerinin istek ve beklentilerini dikkate alarak örgüt üyeleri için etkili ve verimli bir çalışma ortamı oluşturmada etkili olabilmektedirler. Örgüt verimliliğini arttırabilmek adına evrensel ilkeler çerçevesinde etik kararlar alan ve proaktif davranışlarda bulunan etik liderler çalışanların daha yüksek performans ile çalışmasını mümkün kılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak yöneticilerin eğitiminde etik liderlik eğitimlerine yer verilmeli ve yöneticiler çeşitli teşvikler kullanılarak etik davranış göstermeleri yönünde motive edilmelidir.

El artículo da cuenta de los resultados de una indagación basada en el diseño y gestión de actividades para un aula de educación superior, con la intención de hacer realidad los referentes curriculares colombianos en relación con la formación de ciudadanos democráticos desde las clases de Estadística en la Educación Básica y Media. La propuesta se lleva a cabo, a través de un proceso de ejemplificación, reflexión y acción, dirigido a futuros educadores matemáticos, estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Matemáticas que cursan la materia Enseñanza y Aprendizaje de la Estadística en la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Colombia. Se busca que, a través de la práctica docente, una vez tomada conciencia del reto como futuros docentes, los participantes aporten a la formación de valores democráticos en los estudiantes a su cargo. A partir de una indagación de índole cualitativa, se evidencia, a través de las intervenciones de los participantes y los diseños de sus planeaciones de clase, que los futuros educadores logran apropiarse de la importancia y necesidad de desarrollar el valor de la Justicia desde la clase de Estadística, identificando en este proceso la función de tal disciplina en la formación de ciudadanos críticos. Como resultados se observa que desde una educación estadística crítica es posible potenciar el valor de la justicia y la apropiación de conocimiento estadístico asociado a la interpretación y análisis de gráficos y tablas estadísticas; y que es factible propiciar, en futuros docentes, una reflexión consciente sobre el papel de la Estadística en la solución de problemáticas reales como estrategia para procurar ciudadanos estadísticamente cultos. Es menester precisar que, para lograr dicha reflexión, re requiere ajustar la secuenciación del currículo para contar con más tiempo del tradicional, así lograr mayor impacto en el proceso de formación democrática y que este se lleve a cabo en su totalidad.
