THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOREIGN TRADE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS FOR TURKEY AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Authors: ENGİN Cem , KONUK Tuğba
Published: July 2022

The aim of this study is firstly to examine the relationship between economic growth and foreign trade, which is one of the most important issues in the literature of economics, and secondly to raise alternative policy proposals related to Turkey's economy. Economic growth, export and import between 1980 and 2019 in Turkey have been selected as the variables for the research. Johansen cointegration test was used for models based on economic growth-export and economic growth-import. After identifying the relationship between the series, Granger causality test was employed. According to the results obtained from Johansen cointegration analysis, the relationships between export and economic growth and between import and economic growth have been identified. According to Granger causality test result, it was seen that both the export and import caused economic growth. According to these results, it can be said that foreign trade increases economic growth in Turkey.

Authors: YILDIRIM Selim , ERDOĞAN Kadriye Sena
Published: July 2022

The existence of economic crises has created a need for new sources through economic history. Most of the time, public debt becomes crucial as a new source. For this purpose, the study tries to explain these questions: Is there any relationship between public debt and economic growth, and if there is a relationship between them what is the size or power of this effect. In this context, panel analysis has been made for selected 14 European countries which are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey at the time of 1980-2017. The results indicated that public debt has a detrimental effect on economic growth with different shares, except Denmark and Norway.
Effect of a new pattern of surface roughness on flow field and erosion rate of a cyclone
Authors: Dehdarinejad Ehsan , Bayareh Morteza
Published: July 2022

This paper evaluates the impact of a special design of non-uniform surface roughness on the operating parameters of a gas–solid cyclone numerically. The cyclone surface is divided into 32 separate rings with different roughness heights when the roughness height varies from 0.2 to 3 mm. The results show that the tangential velocity is reduced and the axial velocity is enhanced by increasing the height of non-uniform roughness. It is observed that the cyclone with smooth walls can collect 7 μm solid particles while 3.7 and 2.77 μm particles can be separated by one-inlet and two-inlet cyclones, respectively. For the cut-off size diameter of d
50, the one-inlet cyclone with smooth walls can collect the particles with a diameter of 1.24 µm, while the cyclone with R
Nu = 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mm can collect 1.3, 1.6, 1.8, 0.83, and 1.88 µm particles, respectively. The results demonstrate that the erosion rate decreases with the roughness and this reduction is larger for the one-inlet cyclone.

Published: July 2022

The high-fidelity finite element model (HFFEM) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of the blisk involve large number of calculations, which leads to low computational efficiency. In this case, an improved quasi-static mode compensation method (IQSMCM) and quadratic function-extremum response surface method (QF-ERSM) are proposed to investigate the probability distribution of mistuned blisk based on its vibration characteristics. The number of nodes and elements of IQSMCM relative to HFFEM are, respectively, reduced by 79.66 and 80.03%. Thus, the degrees of freedoms (DOFs) of IQSMCM are obviously reduced compared with that of HFFEM, and its computational efficiency is obviously increased. The maximum displacement shape (MDS) is investigated via IQSMCM. The computational efficiency is enhanced in the condition of ensuring the computational accuracy. Based on the investigation of maximum mode shape, the probability analysis is performed via QF-ERSM. The computational accuracy of QF-ERSM is improved by 93.80% compared with that of MC. Furthermore, the computational efficiency of QF-ERSM is higher 57.06% than that of QF-RSM. The sample history, extremum response surface function, sample history and distribution histogram of MDS are obtained via QF-ERSM, which provides an important guidance for the reliability research of the mistuned blisk. This research can be applied not only to aeroengine’s blisk but also to other large and complex mechanical structures in practical engineering.

Published: July 2022

Objective: to understand the meanings and actions inferred by nurses to minimize the error in the administration of medications in pediatrics. Methods: a qualitative study anchored in Symbolic Interactionism. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 11 nurses, who attributed the meanings and their actions to reduce medication errors in Pediatrics. The content analysis was composed of pre-analysis, exploration, treatment and interpretation of data. Results: three categories emerged: Individual actions (planning, attention, communication and application of the checklist in the use of the “right ones”); Multi-professional and organizational interactions (teamwork, automated system, staff dimensioning, double-checking in checking medications, professional articulation, organizational actions, institutional policies and communication) and Continuing education strategies (training and capacity building). Conclusion: technical aspects, work dynamics, need for updating, attitudes related to individual actions, multi-professional interactions, organizational and continuing education were meanings and actions inferred by nurses for the minimization of the error in medication administration in Pediatrics. Contributions to practice: it is necessary that the topic of medication administration be a continuous point in the permanent education programs in the health services in order to guarantee the minimization of errors and thus promote greater safety for users.
Transformation or the next meal?

Published: July 2022

This article presents conversations across difference that took place among community partners and researchers at a week-long workshop in T’Sou-ke First Nation territory in 2019. The workshop launched the Four Stories About Food Sovereignty research network and project, which brings together food producers, activists, and researchers representing T’Sou-ke Nation in British Columbia, Wayuu Indigenous communities in Colombia, refugee communities in Jordan, and small-scale farmers in South Africa. We focus here on conversations that highlight global-local tensions in food justice work, the pressures of extractive economy, and pressures arising from climate crisis – challenges that some participants framed at the level of global extractivism and colonial-capitalism, others at the level of the soil. As the conversations reveal, there was more common ground than conflict in shared histories of dispossession, shared predicaments of extractive capital and its government allies, and shared concern to renew and reinvigorate ancestral practices of care for territory.

Authors: Kumar Mathangi , Madi Medhini , Vineetha Ravindranath , Pentapati Kalyana C
Published: July 2022

Background. COVID 19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented change in the way of life of the individual as well as of the society globally. Medical and healthcare education has become virtual, complex, and challenging with minimal real-time experience. Dental education has faced major impacts affecting the skills and preparedness of the graduates. This study aimed to assess the overall impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on graduating dental interns.

Methods. This cross-sectional survey was conducted among the graduating dental interns from various states across India. A specially designed questionnaire was used in our study which consisted of multiple-choice, Likert scale, dichotomous response, open-ended response questions. The 15 item questionnaire focused on 5 domains (i) demographic details (ii) perceptions regarding disrupted academic schedule and switch to E-education (iii) perceptions on its impact on the career (iv) items concerning the mental health and stress (v) potential solutions suggested by the interns.

Results. 316 dental interns responded to this survey. Only 13.6% of them felt that the e-platforms were useful tools for learning. The dental interns felt that Conservative Dentistry and Oral Surgery postings had the maximum impact on clinical skills. Less than one-fourth (23.1%) of them agreed with the fact that they were under parental pressure; 43.4% agreed that the pandemic had affected the confidence and preparedness to start their clinical practice.

Conclusion. It was observed that the interns faced major challenges due to the missed hours of clinical practice, which affected them in terms of preparedness and confidence in facing their future.
Displacement energy of the two variable-length element biomechanical exoskeleton supporting leg
Authors: Borisov Andrey  V , AO Blinov
Published: July 2022

The article discusses a spatial model of two links of variable length of an active biomedical exoskeleton that simulate a supporting leg. Each hinge has drives that provide the necessary turns with the relative rotational movement of the links. The difference between the proposed model and those previously studied is the use of the angles between the links, which corresponds to the real operation of the drives. The paths of the links are set kinematically. The control forces are determined in the model from the compiled system of differential equations of motion. The calculation of energy consumption during the single-support phase of movement for one step is carried out. The application of the proposed model in the form of two links of variable length of the active biomedical exoskeleton can be found when selecting a battery for the autonomous operation of the biomedical exoskeleton.
Photons with real magnetic charges and absurdity of concept expansion universe
Authors: A Sizov Robert
Published: July 2022

The results of the study of the physics of photons with real magnetic charges showed that photons do not form any light waves. The circular frequency of photons produced under the conditions of the translational motion of the photon source differs from о by the value , which is determined solely by the change in the velocity ∆V of the translational motion of the photon source at the moment of photon formation. It is important to understand that the circular frequency of photons, born at any moment of the movement of their sources, is an internal property (parameter) of the photon and remains unchanged throughout the entire photon “life”. Moreover, the photon frequency cannot depend on any movements of the observer.
The Other Side of the History of the Formulation of Aceh Jinayat Qanun
Authors: Salma Salma , Fajri Almuh , Hidayat Taufik , Safri Edi
Published: July 2022

In the context of fiqh, the provisions of ḥudūd have been agreeable in terms of the actions and punishments. However, some of them are not mentioned in Aceh Qanun No. 6/2014 on Jinayat (Criminal) Law, such as stoning, death sentence, and hand amputation. These three types of punishment were harshly debated during the formulation of the qanun and subsequently abolished. Using the historical legal approach, this study finds out there were some issues that came up during the formulation process. First, the assessment of the local government and people’s readiness to implement those punishments has not been sufficient. Second, stoning, the death penalty, and hand cutting are not in accordance with the Indonesian procedural law. Third, the qanun formulation was affected by the disparity of Islamic legal scholars’ opinions regarding the mentioned penalties. Forth, the discussants in the forum believed that the implementation of Islamic criminal law needs phasing (tadarruj).   AbstrakDalam konteks fikih, ketentuan hudud telah disepakati baik jenis perbuatannya maupun sanksi-sanksinya. Akan tetapi, tidak semuanya tercantum sebagai materi hudud dalam Qanun Aceh No. 6/2014 tentang Hukum Jinayat, seperti hukuman rajam, hukuman mati dan hukuman potong tangan. Ketiga jenis hukuman ini diperdebatkan dengan sengit selama pembahasan Qanun dan akhirnya ditiadakan. Melalui pendekatan sejarah hukum, diketahui setidaknya ada beberapa faktor problematik yang mewarnai perumusan Qanun Aceh No. 6/2014 tentang Hukum Jinayat. Pertama, adanya penilaian internal tentang kesiapan pemerintah dan masyarakat yang belum maksimal untuk melaksanakan hukuman-hukuman itu. Kedua, materi rajam, hukuman mati bagi pelaku riddah dan potong tangan yang tidak sejalan dengan hukum acara yang telah ada sebelumnya. Ketiga, adanya pengaruh perbedaan pendapat ulama (disparitas) dalam konteks fikih tentang hukuman-hukuman itu dalam proses perumusan qanun. Keempat, adanya keyakinan para pembahas bahwa penegakan hukum pidana Islam dalam Qanun Aceh memerlukan pentahapan (tadarruj).

Published: July 2022

Abstract. The issue of fulfilling political rights for voters with mental disabilities in the 2019 general election still left many problems, ranging from the presence of the Constitutional Court's decision to the stigma of society towards voters with mental disabilities. With the decision from the Constitutional Court that allows people with mental disabilities to become voters, it actually causes a lot of disturbance to people with mental disabilities. Therefore, the authors are interested in seeing how the policy direction for fulfilling the political rights of voters with mental disabilities will be in the 2024 election. With a qualitative methodology that aims to reveal facts and provide an overview and phenomena that occur with literature study and interview techniques, it is expected to be able to provide an overview of the policy on fulfillment of the political rights of voters with mental disabilities as expected in the 2024 elections. Based on the findings that existing policies still need to be addressed in order to provide clearer definitions, mechanisms, and requirements for voters with mental disabilities. Access to information on the policy is also felt to be important for both mentally disabled voters and lower-level implementers in order to implement it properly.Keywords: Policy, Voters with Mental Disabilities, 2024 General Election.  Abstrak.

Aprendizagem criativa e formação docente no Ensino Superior
Authors: Bergonsi Tussi Graziela , Almeida das Neves Esther , Alberto Fávero Altair
Published: July 2022

O artigo trata da formação docente no ensino superior e busca investigar sua relação com a criatividade e de que maneira a construção do saber pedagógico está relacionado aos processos de formação nas IES. As demandas da atualidade aspiram por alunos protagonistas na produção de conhecimento e não meros receptores de informações, o que exige um docente inovador, que mescle atributos de professor e pesquisador, para que assim possa problematizar sua prática, tornando-a objeto de estudo e questionamento, superando as dificuldades e se qualificando cada dia mais, para assim, auxiliar seus discentes no processo de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento integral. Acredita-se que aliar os 4 Ps da Aprendizagem Criativa, abordados por Mitchel Resnick (2020) aos processos de formação docente possa contribuir para a qualificação desses profissionais, para que estes possam associar criatividade a conhecimento e inovação. Para tanto, é fundamental que a universidade oportunize espaços de formação para seus docentes para que possam pensar, repensar e refazer sua própria identidade profissional, inovando e promovendo o pensamento criativo em prol da construção de saberes docentes mais amplos.
Cooperation and market socialism: Kant versus Nash
Authors: Roemer John E.
Published: July 2022

The idea that socialism depends upon cooperation, as capitalism depends on competition, has always been inherent in the conception of socialism. Yet precise models of market socialism – ones, that is, that are sufficiently articulated so as to be able to discuss and compute an equilibrium in the economy – do not model cooperation in production, or more generally, in economic behavior. We introduce a Kantian optimization protocol, which, in contrast to Nash optimization, models how individuals can cooperate in labor and/or investment decisions. We prove that the ‘cooperative equilibrium’, thus modeled, is Pareto efficient whenever, in addition to receiving wages and rents, profits are distributed not to shareholders, but to workers and investors in proportion to their contributions to the firm. Pareto efficiency is achieved when the firms entire output is distributed to factor owners and shareholders do not exist.
New economic sociology and economic theory
Authors: Steiner Philippe
Published: July 2022

The paper begins with a brief reminder of the origin of economic sociology. It then surveys research by economic sociologists from the 1980s to the present, with a focus on their relation to political economy, which ranges from close to arm's length. Finally, beyond any differences between economic theory and economic sociology, the paper considers how both approaches can be connected in the socio-historical and economic study of economic inequalities by Thomas Piketty, and the use of matching markets by Alvin Roth.
Cooperation and trust, supportable by our social natures, foster synergy of private, public, and civic sectors
Authors: Putterman Louis
Published: July 2022

The gains in economic welfare achieved over the last several generations depend on social as much as they do on technological innovations. Although much of the technological and commercial progress in question was driven mainly by self-interest and competition, effective functioning of governmental and legal systems and provision of public goods were crucial to social and economic progress, and these depended partly on social norms and motivations. Research suggests that the strengthening in recent centuries of cooperative dispositions embedded in human social psychology by long run evolutionary forces has played an important part in the escape of an increasing share of humanity from poverty. Behavioral economics and research on economic history, institutions and culture are shedding light on these connections and may provide guidance helpful to preserving late 20th century gains in the now rapidly shifting landscape.
Putting labour values to work
Authors: Cogliano Jonathan F. , Veneziani Roberto , Yoshihara Naoki
Published: July 2022

Conventional wisdom has it that Marxian value theory, and labour values themselves, are logically inconsistent, theoretically shaky, and empirically irrelevant. In this paper, we discuss recent research showing that this conclusion is not warranted. While past debates have definitively proved that labour values, or employment multipliers, cannot be used to explain equilibrium prices, this does not mean that a sound, empirically oriented Marxian approach cannot be built which assigns a central role to labour values. To be specific, we argue that they can be used to understand certain fundamental laws of capitalist economies – in particular the relation between profitability, technical progress, and accumulation – and also to construct normatively interesting indices capturing certain inequalities in well-being freedom.

Association of Rosuvastatin Use with Risk of Hematuria and Proteinuria
Authors: Shin Jung-Im , Fine Derek M. , Sang Yingying , Surapaneni Aditya , Dunning Stephan C. , Inker Lesley A. , Nolin Thomas D. , Chang Alex R. , Grams Morgan E.
Published: July 2022

Significance Statement

Despite reports of hematuria and proteinuria with rosuvastatin use at the time of its approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), current labeling mentions dose reduction (maximum daily dose of 10 mg) only for patients with severe CKD. In this real-world study, 44% of patients with severe CKD were prescribed a higher dose of rosuvastatin than recommended by the FDA. Compared with atorvastatin, rosuvastatin use was associated with slightly increased risk of hematuria and proteinuria in a dose-dependent manner and slightly increased risk of kidney failure with replacement therapy; the cardiovascular benefits were similar. These findings suggest the need for greater care in prescribing and monitoring rosuvastatin, particularly in patients who receive high doses or who have severe CKD.

Background

Despite reports of hematuria and proteinuria with rosuvastatin use at the time of its approval by the US Food and Drug Association (FDA), little postmarketing surveillance exists to assess real-world risk. Current labeling suggests dose reduction (maximum daily dose of 10 mg) for patients with severe CKD.

Methods

Using deidentified electronic health record data, we analyzed 152,101 and 795,799 new users of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin, respectively, from 2011 to 2019. We estimated inverse probability of treatment–weighted hazard ratios (HRs) of hematuria, proteinuria, and kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT) associated with rosuvastatin. We reported the initial rosuvastatin dose across eGFR categories and evaluated for a dose effect on hematuria and proteinuria.

Results

Overall, we identified 2.9% of patients with hematuria and 1.0% with proteinuria during a median follow-up of 3.1 years. Compared with atorvastatin, rosuvastatin was associated with increased risk of hematuria (HR, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.04 to 1.11), proteinuria (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.25), and KFRT (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.30). A substantial share (44%) of patients with eGFR <30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 was prescribed high-dose rosuvastatin (20 or 40 mg daily). Risk was higher with higher rosuvastatin dose.

Conclusions

Compared with atorvastatin, rosuvastatin was associated with increased risk of hematuria, proteinuria, and KFRT. Among patients with eGFR <30 ml/min per 1.73 m2, 44% were prescribed a rosuvastatin daily dose exceeding the FDA’s recommended 10 mg daily dose. Our findings suggest the need for greater care in prescribing and monitoring rosuvastatin, particularly in patients who receive high doses or who have severe CKD.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Metabolomic Profiling and Urine Chemistries in Incident Kidney Stone Formers Compared with Controls

Published: July 2022

Significance Statement

An altered balance of urine composition has been linked to stone formation, yet the exact mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, metabolomic analysis using two different methodologies of 24-hour urine samples from 418 incident stone formers and 440 controls demonstrated that several urine chemistries and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)–quantified metabolites differed significantly between the two groups. Addition of NMR-quantified metabolites did not significantly improve discrimination of stone formers beyond clinically measured urine chemistries, suggesting the urinary excretion of NMR-based metabolites and standard urine chemistries could reflect similar biological pathways. However, NMR did identify several novel metabolites, which may represent previously unrecognized pathways that could be further studied and therapeutically targeted.

Background

The urine metabolites and chemistries that contribute to kidney stone formation are not fully understood. This study examined differences between the urine metabolic and chemistries profiles of first-time stone formers and controls.

Methods

High-resolution 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolomic analysis was performed in 24-hour urine samples from a prospective cohort of 418 first-time symptomatic kidney stone formers and 440 controls. In total, 48 NMR-quantified metabolites in addition to 12 standard urine chemistries were assayed. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the association of stone former status with urine metabolites or chemistries after adjusting for age and sex and correcting for the false discovery rate. Gradient-boosted machine methods with nested cross-validation were applied to predict stone former status.

Results

Among the standard urine chemistries, stone formers had lower urine oxalate and potassium and higher urine calcium, phosphate, and creatinine. Among NMR urine metabolites, stone formers had lower hippuric acid, trigonelline, 2-furoylglycine, imidazole, and citrate and higher creatine and alanine. A cross-validated model using urine chemistries, age, and sex yielded a mean AUC of 0.76 (95% CI, 0.73 to 0.79). A cross-validated model using urine chemistries, NMR-quantified metabolites, age, and sex did not meaningfully improve the discrimination (mean AUC, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.81). In this combined model, among the top ten discriminating features, four were urine chemistries and six NMR-quantified metabolites.

Conclusions

Although NMR-quantified metabolites did not improve discrimination, several urine metabolic profiles were identified that may improve understanding of kidney stone pathogenesis.

Innovación educativa: revisión de experiencias con píldoras educativas o formativas
Authors: Urchaga Litago José David , Finez Silva Mª José , Morán Astorga Mª Consuelo
Published: July 2022

Se presenta un estudio de revisión sistemática sobre la implantación de la metodología de “Píldoras Educativas o Formativas” como innovación educativa en la formación universitaria. La revisión tiene como objetivo presentar aquellas experiencias realizadas en el ámbito universitario español, presentando cómo se ha ido incorporando esta metodología en las aulas, en qué áreas y con qué experiencias de éxito. Se realizó una revisión sistemática basada en la metodología “Prisma”. Se recogen un total de 32 documentos. Una primera conclusión es que son muy pocas las experiencias realizadas, y que esta metodología es todavía relativamente novedosa en el contexto universitario español, ya que la mayoría de las experiencias se han presentado a partir de 2017. De forma generalizada presentan buenos resultados, pero limitados. Tan solo se recogen experiencias en 17 de las 76 universidades españolas. Destacan, por su número de contribuciones, las universidades de Zaragoza, Alicante, Salamanca y La Laguna. También cabe destacar que tan solo una de estas experiencias que presenta resultados sigue un riguroso diseño experimental. En la mayoría de los casos son diseños descriptivos (un solo grupo, con medidas post-test), lo cual limita mucho las conclusiones de estas experiencias. Se incluyen un resumen de las principales conclusiones de las experiencias.

De inicio se plantea la necesidad de la tecnología y su desarrollo en el mundo moderno actual, ante lo cual es necesaria una educación tecnológica con un enfoque diferente al meramente aplicativo eficientista, derivado de una sin razón tecnológica; se define lo que es la educación tecnológica desde algunos enfoques tradicionales, resaltando que este tipo de educación se relaciona de manera determinante con el concepto de conocimiento tecnológico. En el trabajo se propone la definición de Inteligencia Tecnológica (IT) a partir de una concepción del conocimiento tecnológico y finalmente se hace una aproximación al concepto de “Conciencia Tecnológica”, en tanto idea fundamental para la propuesta de un enfoque alternativo para la educación tecnológica propia del mundo actual.
Reflexoes sobre práticas docentes na escola infantil: a emergência de aprender pela cultura lúdica
Authors: Cabrita Condessa Isabel
Published: July 2022

É preocupação de qualquer profissional de educação garantir à criança o acesso a aprendizagens de qualidade e orientadas para uma dimensão construtivista, tentando transpor para o seu quotidiano o direito a brincar e a se divertir, já que estas práticas, por inúmeros motivos e todos bem fundamentados, dão robustez à infância de qualquer indivíduo. A preservação da cultura lúdica por uma sociedade e o alcance do bem-estar individual são um recurso essencial na vida da criança com benefícios para a sua educação, sobretudo em momentos conturbados da civilização, como os que atualmente vivemos. Com esta pesquisa, realizada com recurso à análise de dados recolhidos entre 2013 e 2020, em duas fases de estudo (Fase 1 e 2), por aplicação de questionário a 298 profissionais de educação (Educação Pré-Escolar e 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico), tivemos como propósito analisar e comparar as práticas atestadas por estes profissionais no que refere ao recurso propostas lúdicas nas atividades / aulas tendo em vista: a. quer a aquisição da cultura regional; b. quer a aprendizagem de matérias académicas. Este estudo longitudinal solicitou uma análise qualitativa e quantitativa de dados. Os nossos resultados permitiram-nos concluir que embora seja dada importância às práticas lúdicas em contexto de atividade pedagógica, as práticas assumidas por educadoras de infância são mais frequentes e mais sustentáveis. Por sua vez, embora na 1.ª fase do estudo tivesse sido reforçada a tónica da cultura lúdica na aprendizagem de aspetos da cultura regional, na fase seguinte foi revelada a sua importância na implementação do trabalho de cooperação, na troca de opinião e discussão e, por fim, no aumento de motivação para as aprendizagens académicas (com realce na matemática). Face à necessidade de inovação educacional cremos que esta deverá ser uma temática a investir aquando da formação de docentes.

Contributo da respiraçao diafragmática versus mindfulness no desenvolvimento da regulaçao emocional das crianças em contexto escolar
Authors: Carvalho Paula , Caçador Anastácio Zélia
Published: July 2022

O nascimento de uma criança constitui um desafio para a família, escola e sociedade. É o início de uma jornada e a oportunidade de atingir a plena humanização. Este trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer os contributos da respiração diafragmática versus Mindfulness no desenvolvimento da regulação emocional das crianças em contexto escolar. Como metodologia foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura, seguindo a mnemónica População, Contexto e Conceito (PPC). Definiram-se os seguintes critérios de inclusão: crianças em contexto escolar, sem restrição de género, etnia, idade ou outra característica pessoal; artigos completos publicados no período de 2012-2022,em português,espanholeinglês. A pesquisafoi feita nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed, Web of Science, Medline e B-on. A respiração diafragmática, presente na meditação, constitui um instrumento na regulação emocional na criança em contexto escolar, como ajuda na aprendizagem e modulação das respostas aos estímulos emocionalmente competentes. Esta prática torna a respiração mais lenta e abdominal, mais consciente, ativa o sistema parassimpático e diminui a Frequência Respiratória (FR) e Variabilidade da Frequência Cardíaca (VFC), reduzindo sinais e sintomas de ansiedade, défice de atenção e promove a sensação de relaxamento. Este contacto deve darse o mais precocemente possível, potenciando a neuroplasticidade e as ligações químicas cerebrais. Crianças que meditam tornam-se mais conhecedoras de si próprias, mais independentes e com mais capacidade de criar relações. A frequência cardíaca e respiratória influenciam significativamente a função cerebral, os processos emocionais, e as funções cognitivas como a atenção, perceção, memória e resolução de problemas. Estudos realizados demostram que a introdução de programas de respiração diafragmática versus mindfulness em contexto escolar são fundamentais para cultivar a consciência de si próprio, a consciência emocional e a literacia emocional, o que torna as crianças mais capazes na aprendizagem e nas relações humanas.

El síndrome de Burnout está considerada una patología presente en el ámbito docentes de la etapa de educación primaria, la cual se manifiesta por motivos como alta carga de responsabilidades o el estrecho y continuo contacto con el personal implicado en el proceso educativo. Llegados a este punto la inteligencia emocional y la práctica de actividad física están acaparando una gran importancia ya que se asocia con grandes beneficios como alta capacidad de resiliencia, bienestar mental y regulación de sentimientos. Por esta razón, este estudio tuvo como objetivo establecer la evolución de la producción científica y el estado actual de la cuestión del síndrome de Burnout, inteligencia emocional y práctica de actividad física en docentes. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda de literatura científica en la web of science durante el periodo 2018-2022 y se utilizaron las palabras claves “Burnout”, “emotional intelligence”, “physical activity” y “teacher*”. Los resultados de la producción científica han puesto de manifiesto que existe un aumento sustancial de la producción dentro de la comunidad científica, debido a la problemática existente. En este sentido, se ha demostrado que la inteligencia emocional puede actuar como un factor predictivo ante la aparición de síntomas de síndrome de Burnout. Asimismo, la práctica de actividad físico-saludable permite la mejora de la capacidad de expresar, regular y comprender las emociones, así como es esencial para el tratamiento y prevención de los indicios del síndrome de Burnout.
Educaçao sexual no pré-escolar: conhecimento, atitudes, crenças e conforto de educadoras/es
Authors: Beliz Vânia , Caçador Anastácio Zélia
Published: July 2022

A literatura aponta as dificuldades de educadores infância como os principais desafios a abordagens de educação para a sexualidade a partir da idade pré-escolar. Para avaliar o conhecimento, as atitudes e crenças, bem como o nível de conforto de educadoras/es de infância em relação ao desenvolvimento sexual e à aprendizagem das crianças utilizámos o Questionário de Educação Sexual para Educadoras(es) de Infância (QESEI), o qual foi por nós traduzido e validado para a população portuguesa. O questionário foi disponibilizado online, tendo sido preenchido por uma amostra do tipo bola de neve, constituída por 414 profissionais, com média de 20,64 anos de serviço. A análise dos dados obtidos foi feita através do programa SPSS. Em relação à formação em educação sexual, que consideraram ser essencial, apenas 29% referiram ter participado em ações de curta duração e apenas 6% referiram ter realizado ações com 25 horas. Quanto ao conhecimento acerca do desenvolvimento e da aprendizagem sexual das crianças, o valor médio foi de M=10,23 para um máximo de 21 (maior conhecimento). Em relação às atitudes e crenças sobre a aprendizagem sexual de crianças, o resultado foi de 110 pontos para um máximo de 140 (atitudes mais positivas). Para a variável conforto para lidar com o desenvolvimento das crianças em matéria de sexualidade, numa escala de 10 a 40 (em que 40 indica menor nível de conforto), a média das respostas foi de 17,7. Os resultados levam-nos a concluir que o conhecimento é a variável que apresenta maior fragilidade para estes profissionais de educação. Apesar de termos observado resultados positivos relativamente às variáveis atitudes e crenças e conforto, os mesmos apontam para a importância da formação, a qual se prevê que possa proporcionar melhorarias e desenvolvimento profissional nestes três domínios.
El papel del docente después de la pandemia
Authors: Cestari Marilena
Published: July 2022

Este artículo analiza cómo desde marzo de 2020, a raíz de la pandemia del COVID, cerca del 90% de los estudiantes han tenido que abandonar la escuela, reemplazando el modelo educativo basado en la relación y la empatía, con soluciones de educación a distancia utilizando diversos medios y plataformas en línea (Mascheroni et al, 2021). Laenseñanzaa distancia(DAD) primero y la enseñanza digital integrada(DID) después,se han convertido, de hecho, en los únicos métodos de formación que el docente y el alumno han dispuesto para garantizar el derecho a estudiar. Hubo importantes limitaciones y dificultades. Hoy, la transición a realizar es clara: el sistema educativo debe llegar a la digitalización “por elección”, utilizando las herramientas tecnológicas de manera más consciente y adecuada.
Urban Agriculture: Potential to Rehabilitate Spaces and Edifices Without Use and its Contribution to the Sustainable City
Authors: Andrade Kyle Bussinguer Spínola de
Published: July 2022

The world's urban population is on a constant growth, which generates food supplying issues. Other than this, the common agricultural practice causes pressure on the natural ecosystems, for it requires a great amount of arable land. In a near future, there won't be enough land available for plantations in the rural area to meet the needs of an urban population that is on an exponential growth. Therefore, this research has the objective to understand how urban agriculture aids the sustainable city, and how it can contribute to the requalification of unused buildings and spaces throughout the cities. The methodology adopted has a qualitative theoretical approach, based on the revision of existing bibliography related to the theme, such as Dickson Despommier's theoretical concept of vertical farm, and Toyoki Kozai's practical studies on the same matter. As part of the research, study cases will be mentioned regarding the use of urban agriculture in vacant spaces, with the purpose that these will give a new meaning for obsolete spaces and buildings that exist in the urban perimeter. A solution for this problem is to produce perishable food inside the cities, which is known as urban agriculture. Results demonstrate that urban agriculture has a fundamental role regarding city's sustainable growth worldwide. As a conclusion, urban agriculture on top of buildings is the most prominent solution to give use to unutilized spaces in the cities.
Educating Cities and Cultural Heritage: theoretical approach
Authors: Gabriel Maria Helena , Vieira Ana Paula de Castro , Castral Paulo César
Published: July 2022

The proposal is to review the concept of Educating City, in order to better understand the cities that have this seal of approval and relate it to the actions inherent to the process of defining and safeguarding the Cultural Heritage, establishing a theoretical approach between both concepts. The aim is to discuss the approaches that enhance the dialogue between the different social agents in the solution of problems characteristic of living in cities. To do so, a bibliographical review will be made, approaching both the recent discussions on Cultural Heritage and the beginning of the discussions that raised the idea of " educative city" to become the Educating City concept. In this sense, the Charter of Educating Cities defines points that consider important documents such as the Declaration of Human Rights, among others. Finally, it is verified how the experiences in the Educating City can contribute to the preservation of the Cultural Heritage defined by social groups and communities that identify themselves with this heritage and how the conceptual meeting between Educating City and Cultural Heritage can be contemplated in the practices of Heritage Education.
