Objetivo: Determinar o estado nutricional de universitários da área de saúde de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico transversal com universitários matriculados nos cursos presenciais da área de saúde de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior do Sul de Minas Gerais. Coletaram-se dados demográficos e socioeconômicos, histórico familiar de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, estado de saúde e autoavaliação nutricional. Foram aferidas as medidas antropométricas e coletadas informações sobre os hábitos alimentares e a prática de atividade física. A análise estatística foi realizada no software Stata SE. Resultados: Dos 180 universitários, 82,2% eram do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 21 anos. Observou-se sedentarismo em 51,1% dos universitários. A maioria dos estudantes não apresentava nenhuma doença autorreferida (70,5%). Em relação ao estado nutricional, 29,5% dos participantes apresentavam excesso de peso, atingindo 45,5% dos homens e 25,9% das mulheres. Evidenciou-se uma correlação estatisticamente significante e positiva entres as variáveis: índice de massa corporal e circunferência da cintura e índice de massa corporal e percentual de gordura corporal. A alimentação foi considerada inadequada para a maioria dos estudantes. Conclusão: Constatou-se excesso de peso, em quase um terço dos universitários e alimentação inadequada. Desta forma, verificou-se a necessidade de adoção de estratégias educativas que enfatizem a importância da alimentação saudável para a prevenção de agravos à saúde, principalmente, pelo fato desses universitários serem futuros profissionais da área da saúde.

Authors: Marcella Koch Daeska , Dantas Rattmann Yanna
Published: September 2021

Objetivo: Avaliar o uso do misoprostol para a indução do trabalho de parto em gestantes atendidas em um hospital público do Estado do Paraná e analisar a redução da prevalência de cesáreas após a inserção deste medicamento no estabelecimento. Metodologia: Estudo observacional transversal, com abordagem descritiva e analítica por meio de dados clínicos e epidemiológicos de todas as gestantes atendidas no hospital maternidade, no período entre julho de 2015 e junho de 2017. A análise estatística foi realizada pelo software Epi-info 6.04®. A significância estatística foi aceita ao nível de 95% (p≤0,05).  Resultados: Foram identificadas 362 prescrições destinadas a gestantes majoritariamente adultas jovens (64,1%), casadas (61,9%), brancas (58,6%), com ensino fundamental incompleto (16,0%), residentes em área urbana (78,2%), primíparas (60,8%), com 41 semanas de gestação (40,9%). As gestantaes foram tratadas, predominantemente com um único comprimido de misoprostol, para a indicação principal de gestação prolongada. O parto vaginal foi obtido somente em 48,62% dos casos, sobretudo em não primíparas (p=0,004). Nas gestantes com maior paridade a quantidade necessária de comprimidos de misoprostol para atingir o desfecho (parto vaginal), foi menor (p=0,021). Conclusão: Ocorreu um discreto aumento no número de partos por cesárea no hospital, indicando que a disponibilidade do misoprostol na maternidade não ocasionou a redução de cesáreas.

Pengaruh Asam Itakonat terhadap Properti Polimer Perekat Akrilik Berbasis Air
Authors: Sihombing Rony Pasonang , Ngatin Agustinus
Published: September 2021

Acrylic-based polymer adhesive is a type of adhesive that can be used for pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Itaconic acid (IA) is a type of acid with 2 (two) OH groups which can form hydrogen bonds. The acrylic base can be used purely from its class. In some cases, however, the acrylic base can be used together with another base. Therefore acrylic-based adhesive with variable addition of itaconic acid was introduced in this study. In this application, the holding power property is one of the important parameters of a PSA. Therefore, holding power is the main parameter in this study. This research includes the preparation of tools and materials, mixing the main raw materials of acrylic monomer and itaconic acid with the types of surfactants and water, and product characterization. The polymerization process is carried out at a pressure of 1 atm with a temperature of 75°C - 80°C accompanied by stirring with a rotation rate of ± 500 rpm. The characterization of this research resulted in a PSA product with a holding power of 2 kg for 30 seconds to 620 minutes. While the resulting peel strength is 1.12 kgf / inc to 0.76 kgf / inc.

Keywords: itaconic acid, acrylic PSA, holding power
Estimated impact of COVID-19 on the Jordanian economy
Authors: Aljaloudi Jameel
Published: September 2021

This study aims to estimate the negative effects of COVID-19 on the Jordanian economy. These effects are expected to coincide with the results of studies carried out by international institutions. For example, the International Labor Organization (ILO) estimated indicate an increase in the number of unemployed to 5.3 million (the “low” scenario) and 24.7 million (the “high” scenario), from a baseline of 188 million in 2019 (ILO, 2020a). Experts from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) confirmed that the global economic downturn (caused by the coronavirus pandemic) is the largest in the past eight decades, which will lead to an increase in poverty and inequality and harm economic growth in the long term. (News 18, 2020). To measure the impact of COVID-19 on the Jordanian economy, the following indicators were adopted: an economic growth, an unemployment rate, a foreign trade (imports and exports), public revenues, public spending, a public debt, and a budget deficit. The study relied on data contained in reports issued by international institutions and official institutions in Jordan. The results indicate a slowdown in the rate of economic growth, an increase in the unemployment rate, a decrease in exports and imports, an increase in the public debt and the budget deficit
An Algorithm for Optimal Testing in Co-segregation Analysis
Authors: Buie Ronald , Rañola John , Chen Annie , Shirts Brian
Published: September 2021

Clinical genetic sequencing tests often identify variants of uncertain
significance (VUS). One source of data that can help classify the
pothogenicity of variants is familial cosegregation analysis.
Identifying and genotyping relatives for cosegregation analysis can be
time consuming and costly. We propose an algorithm that describes a
single measure of expected variant information gain from genotyping a
single additional relative in a family. Then we explore the performance
of this algorithm by comparing actual recruitment strategies used in 35
families who had pursued cosegregation analysis with synthetic pedigrees
of possible testing outcomes if the families had pursued an optimized
testing strategy instead. For each actual and synthetic pedigree, we
calculated the likelihood ratio of pathogenicity as each successive test
was added to the pedigree. We analyzed the differences in cosegregation
likelihood ratio over time resulting from actual versus optimized
testing approaches. Employing the testing strategy indicated by the
algorithm would have led to maximal information more rapidly in 30 of
the 35 pedigrees (86%). Many clinical and research laboratories are
involved in targeted cosegregation analysis. The algorithm we present
can facilitate a data driven approach to optimal relative recruitment
and genotyping for cosegregation analysis and more efficient variant
classification.
Embodying Difference: Introducing ‘Contact Movement’ as an Ethnographic Method
Authors: Balasubramanian Harshadha
Published: September 2021

This contribution to the special issue advances an ethnographic method which directs the critical project of re-imagining diversity towards studies of how difference emerges in fieldwork encounters. Drawing on my experiences of researching without eyesight, I urge students and teachers of anthropology to acknowledge the value of embodied research methods for examining social and corporeal differences in researcher-participant relationships. Firstly, I call attention to moments when embodied fieldwork may be resisted and how these are expressed as naturalised differences between researchers and participants. To deconstruct such naturalisations, I devise contact movement as a method which allows researchers to embody how these ethnographic tensions, or indeed differences, are negotiated between researchers and their participants. Ultimately, contact movement eagerly re-imagines diversity through a methodological rethink that permits ethnographers to embody and explore the collaborative production of difference in their intersubjective relationships, within the field and beyond.
The “educated teacher”: Joint (self-)reflection on translatability between anthropology and teacher education
Authors: Markom Christa , Tošić Jelena
Published: September 2021

Building on the core epistemological features and aims of Educational Anthropology, in this paper we explore the perception of anthropological educational knowledge among teachers and their related reflections on the educational standards of their profession, as well as their own role in society. Following an overview of (the emerging) intersections between teacher education and Educational Anthropology in Austria, the paper focuses on conversations with teachers in Austria on the outputs of an educational anthropological project (TRANSCA) and their applicability. Two of the project outputs – a Concept Book and a Whiteboard Animation (on “Worldmaking”) – serve as the ground for focusing on three aspects emerging from the conversations with teachers: firstly, the concept of the “educated teacher”; secondly, conceptualization as a form of translation of anthropological knowledge via both text and animation; and thirdly, the differentiation between teaching in terms of schooling versus pedagogy. The latter is explored as a crucial dimension of the discussions among and with teachers and lies at the heart of potential future synergies between anthropology and education.
CONTEXTUALIZAÇÃO: PARA ALÉM DAS NARRATIVAS SISTÊMICAS A FAVOR DA INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE
Authors: Leite Maycon Batista , Soares Márlon Herbert Flora Barbosa
Published: September 2021

As narrativas a favor da interdisciplinaridade perpassam por diversas perspectivas oriundas de diferentes bases teórico-filosóficas. Há interesses dos vários setores da sociedade, em especial do setor produtivo, que demandam por projetos interdisciplinares. Na formação ou na atuação demanda-se de um trabalhador interdisciplinar, veiculado ao atual mercado capitalista. O presente artigo questiona sobre qual das perspectivas de abordagem do conhecimento científico, da interdisciplinaridade ou da contextualização, pode contribuir de forma mais efetiva com a lógica que prioriza valores humanos sobre o capital. A ideia não é a dicotomização, mas sim apontar que a contextualização é a perspectiva que circunscreve a da interdisciplinaridade quando o objetivo é formar o sujeito crítico na apreensão da realidade social. Esta perspectiva não demanda, inevitavelmente, projetos de grupos ou equipes, mas sim a apreensão das complexas relações entre o conhecimento científico e o processo de vida real do sujeito na sociedade no mundo globalizado e capitalista, seja por meio do conhecimento disciplinar ou interdisciplinar. A contextualização está mais associada à transdisciplinaridade que à interdisciplinaridade. A ação transdisciplinar não é um nível superior da interdisciplinaridade, mas um processo que transcende as visões e perspectivas disciplinares e interdisciplinares no processo de aproximação e compreensão da realidade social.
Propensity for unjustified analogical transfer
Authors: Pavlovic Zlatko
Published: September 2021

One of the biggest problems related to the application of analogies in
teaching and learning relates to the possibility of misunderstanding the
content of learn?ing, which in such cases is caused by unjustified
analogical transfer. The paper presents the results of research on
unjustified analogical transfer in the application of analogies in
situations that are typical for learning in an academic context. The aim of
the research was to examine the extent to which the tendency towards
unjustified analogical transfer was expressed in the learning with the
application of analogy. A quasi-experimental research with elements of a
field experiment was realised on a sample of 140 students. Respondents read
two texts. In one, a fictional animal was compared to a known animal, and in
the other, a fictional game was compared to a known game. The experimental
factor was an explicit indication of the differences between the compared
objects. Knowledge tests measured how much the respondents remembered about
the characteristics by which the compared objects were similar, i.e. not
similar. By analysing the responses from the tests, we registered the
presence of unjustified analogue transfer. The results show that the
propensity for unjustified analogical transfer is present to a significant
extent. This tendency can be reduced if, in addition to the similarities on
which the analogy is based, there are also differences between the objects
that are compared in the analogy, but even then it will not be completely
eliminated. The basic pedagogical implications that follow from the obtained
results are the need to strengthen the awareness of teachers and textbook
authors about the potential danger of unjustified analogical transfer and
the recommendation to point out to students the differences between the base
and target domain. This significantly reduces this danger.

La importancia del uso de las herramienta tecnológicas se apreció en los resultados aquí conseguidos en el grupo experimental, donde 14 de 15 estudiantes aprobaron el nivel esperado. En consecuencia, el uso de las TIC favoreció el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes participantes del nivel superior.
A Qualitative Study on Informal Roles Assumed in Academic Organizations
Authors: Paçacı Merve , Erdem Ramazan
Published: September 2021

This study aims to identify the informal roles that academics play and display in academic organizations, to identify situations where informal roles emerge in academic organizations, and to evaluate the informal role determinants and the results of informal roles in terms of academic staff, students, institution, and society. It was designed as a phenomenological study, which is one of the qualitative research designs. The data were collected by reviewing the related literature, consulting expert opinions, and employing a semi-structured interview form after it was piloted first; and then the data were coded by using the interpretive phenomenological approach. The study group consists of 23 volunteer academics working at Süleyman Demirel University. The interpretive phenomenological analysis revealed four themes: situations where informal roles emerged, their determinants, the informational roles undertaken/displayed, and the results of displaying informal roles. On the one hand, academics take some positive roles such as mentoring, acting like a family member, inspiring others, supporting others academically and socially, sharing information, being a opinion leader, contributing to society, and enlightening the society. On the other hand, academics were also found to play some negative roles that involve indifference, abuse, unethical behavior, slacking, tyranny, academic selfishness, academic arrogance, positioning themselves in ivory towers, and mongering hope. Academics' personality traits were identified to be the most important determinants of informal roles, and institutional/academic relations, being a member in the same political, religious group, or being from the same hometown were found to lay the ground for informal roles. The positive informal roles assumed in academic organizations resulted in creating a culture of sharing, spiritual pleasure, increase in student success, and socialization of the academic. However, the negative informal roles performed in academic organizations resulted in individual inefficiency, loss of motivation in students, uneasiness in the organization, and isolation from the society.

Authors: Alparslan Ali Murat , Yastıoğlu Seher , Özkul Ahmet Sait
Published: September 2021

The aim of the study is to examine the role of feedback and intrinsic motivation on research assistants' psychological and emotional well-being. First, an Effective Feedback Scale adapted to sampling was developed through expert opinions, focus group interviews and piloting. Afterwards, a field survey was conducted, and two separate models were tested on the data of 278 research assistants to examine the effect of the feedback received from academic advisors (feedback of academic advisor, FAA) and department heads (feedback of department heads, FDH) with the structural equation modeling approach. It was found that the FDH is more effective than the FAA on the emotional well-being of research assistants in the workplace. The FAA has a greater impact on the psychological well-being and intrinsic motivation of research assistants than the FDH. The effect of feedback received from both groups was significant on intrinsic motivation, which increased both psychological and emotional well-being significantly. In addition, the feedback characteristics that had a positive effect on well-being were identified as allowing dialogue in giving feedback, giving it for development and assistance, its being objective and positive, and including a solution proposal.

Authors: Tutar Hasan , Altınöz Mehmet , Güler Sevilay
Published: September 2021

This study aims to examine the opinions of PhD students who are in their dissertation-writing stage, on their supervisors' "core competency", "technical competency" and "managerial competency". Designed as a case study, it employs a qualitative research methodology. The sample of the study consists of 15 PhD students determined by using the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposive sampling methods. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form. The obtained data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that some of the PhD students found their supervisors inadequate in terms of technical, managerial and core competencies while some of them had positive opinions on the competencies of their supervisors. PhD students learn about how supervising processes work and compare themselves to their peers by communicating with each other directly and through social media. The study is original and important since it makes a significant contribution to revealing the effectiveness of PhD supervision.

Retinal damage is an optional sign in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this work was to assess the structural and functional state of the retina in a murine model of ALS caused by overexpression of the aberrant FUS protein [1-359]. The retinal examination was carried out on 12 transgenic and 13 wild-type mice of 2.5–3 months of age. The study revealed not statistically significant higher level of ophthalmoscopic violations in FUS[1-359] mice. Moreover, gene expression assay confirmed an increased expression of the inflammatory genes Vegfa, Il1b, Il6, Icam1, Tnfa. However, despite the detected structural and functional abnormalities, western blot analysis and quantitative PCR did not detect the expression of the protein and mRNA products of the FUS transgene in the retina of FUS[1-359] mice.

A Brief Review of Severe Asthma
Authors: Ibrahim Muhammad Amin , Ismail Ahmad Izuanuddin , Abdul Rani Mohammed Fauzi
Published: September 2021

Severe asthma describes an asthma condition that requires a substantial amount of inhaled corticosteroid and bronchodilators to keep it under control including the frequent additional need for oral steroid to avoid exacerbations. The incidence of severe asthma in Malaysia is unknown but data elsewhere shows that it is around 5 to 10 % of asthmatics. This category of asthmatic patients has considerable morbidity, is disproportionate cost-wise to the number of sufferers and requires specialised and focused care. The management of severe asthma should be undertaken at a severe asthma clinic led by a physician with a special interest in its management. The diagnosis needs confirmation, comorbidities identified and triggering factors addressed. Inhaler technique and compliance are major contributing issues and must be addressed at all consultation opportunities. Once the diagnosis of severe asthma is confirmed, the disease needs phenotyping to plan for the most appropriate treatment, termed as a personalised approach to severe asthma care. The advances in biologics have changed the landscape of treatment of this disease but in Malaysia especially, there are many limitations namely the cost. This article briefly explores the current understanding of severe asthma, the assessment including phenotyping and possible treatment options.
Diagnoses the causes of cost deviation in Iraqi construction projects
Authors: Mahde Eman , A. Jasim Nidal
Published: September 2021

Root cause analysis techniques are an excellent choice for identifying the root causes of cost deviation in Iraqi construction projects. Many root cause analysis tools, such as the Fishbone diagram (FD), Pareto diagram (PD), and 5-Why analysis, have started to emerge from the literature as standard guidelines for identifying root causes. This study identified eighteen causes of cost deviation in construction projects, which they classified into three major groups (planning causes, designing causes, and execution causes). Pareto study indicates that twelve causes out of eighteen represent the most significant causes of cost deviation. After that, these eleven causes were filtered by 5-Why analysis, which concluded that insufficient project information and the implementation method is not appropriate with the project type are root causes for the planning group, while unclear owner requirements and changes in design are root causes for the designing causes group, Finally, changes in orders is a root cause for execution group.
Using of an Artificial Neural Networks with Particle Swarm Optimization (ANN-PSO) Model in Prediction of Cost and Delay in Construction Projects
Authors: Hadi Mohammed , M. Abd Abbas
Published: September 2021

Construction project delay is a global phenomenon. The delay risk being regarded as a main challenge that is tackled via the firms of construction. It possessed an inverse effect upon the performance of the project resulting in cost overruns and productivity reduction. In Iraq, most construction projects surpassed their prearranged time and were delayed, resulting in a loss of productivity and income. The objective of this paper was to predict the cost and delay of construction projects to illustrate their risks effects by using of artificial neural networks with the particle swarm optimization method (ANN-PSO). Thereby, risk factors were identified and analysed using Probability and Impact Analysis which were embraced as the model inputs. In comparison, the outputs for the models were represented by the ratio of the contractor's profit to project costs and the delay in construction projects. An ANN model was additionally evolved with a backpropagation (BP) optimization method to assess the exhibition of the ANN-PSO model. To evaluate the accuracy of the results of the ANN-PSO model, coefficient of correlation (R), determination coefficient (R2), and root mean squared error (RMSE) was utilized as performance evaluation of the models. The ANN-PSO model showed a significant performance in the delay prediction. The performance evaluation for the cost and delay prediction were (R=0.929, R2=0.863, RMSE=0.044), and (R=0.998, R2=0.996, RMSE=0.094), respectively. The model of ANN-PSO has a virtuous performance in the delay prediction better than the cost. However, the ANN-BP model showed better performance than ANN-PSO in term of cost prediction.

Chemical stabilization is one of the most alternative methods using on soil stabilization with various materials. In recent decades geopolymer has been attention from engineers and experts geotechnical to use it for improvement of soil, because of considered eco-friendly and cost-effective. This paper aims to investigate the influence of used MK-based Geopolymer in geotechnical engineering and to enhance the properties of soil. Where the MK is considered eco-friendly material and cost-effective compared to other materials. Different percentages of Metakaolin-based Geopolymer were used, which are 8, 10, 12, and 14%. It can be concluded that the peak value of strength illustrated when used MK of 10% with curing time 14 days. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) results show the clay particles covered by cementations compounds due to the reaction of the Geopolymer with clay which led to the production of binder particles.
The Challenges of Digital Competency Implementation Towards World-Class Bureaucracy
Authors: Cahyarini Benedicta Retna , Samsara Ladiatno
Published: September 2021

Industrial revolution 4.0 creates various improvements toward technology utilisation in every sector, offering efficiencies in every part of life. As a consequence, the government needs to respond to it in public service practices. Therefore, digital competency is mandatory for Indonesian civil servants. Due to the lack of civil servant's competency in technology usage and the bureaucratic environment, the Indonesian government sees this as a big challenge. Moreover, digital competency improvement must be carried out from both training and development in terms of competency development. Thus, using a qualitative descriptive method with a desk study review from various literature sources, such as books and news (printed and online), this paper offers an overview of the challenges and solutions in implementing digital competency in the public sector, both internally and externally. Internally, the technology utilisation solutions are focused on technology infrastructure improvement, strengthening civil servant's competencies, work habit transformation, and organisational relations. On the other hand, from the external side, the solution comes from the contract-based government employee’s (PPPK) recruitment and collaboration with the private sector, as often done by many government agencies. However, whatever solution is chosen, strengthening the usage of information technology in the public sector will always face challenges.
Adhocracy as a Model for Organizing Government Institution in Simplifying Indonesian Bureaucracy
Authors: Irwansyah Irwansyah
Published: September 2021

The Presidential Regulation instigated this research to simplify the Bureaucracy with only two positions in government organisations. Accountability, position, work complexity, authority, coordination mechanism, organizing, and work system can induce several problems when this regulation is implemented. This research aims to critically explore the model for organizing government institutions in simplifying Bureaucracy. This research employed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). This research shows that the adhocratic organisation model as the antithesis of Bureaucracy by creating several task groups coordinated by the highest functionary position, reconfiguring the management of functionary position, and applicating business process are recommendations to anticipate problems emerging from simplifying Bureaucracy. But, not all government functions can be made adhocratic, and it is also crucial to understand that the management and leaders need to departmentalise in simplifying Bureaucracy meticulously.
The Implication of Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation towards Regulation on the Permit to Open Land State in East Kalimantan
Authors: Nasir Mohamad
Published: September 2021

Four regions in East Kalimantan province, including Balikpapan, Kutai Kartanegara, Penajam Paser Utara, and Samarinda, have local regulations known as Perda concerning the permission to open land state (IMTN). As a licensing instrument, IMTN has closely related to other sectors, such as investment, public services, and regional government. The policy's dynamics and changes in those sectors will impact the land sector, including the IMTN regulation. This article aims to examine two issues. First, the status of IMTN norms in licensing law regimes. Second, the conformity of the Perda along with the development of the higher regulations. In particular, the implication of Law No. 11/2020 to Perda IMTN in East Kalimantan and formulate alternative solutions to address the dynamics of land policy at the national level. This research applies normative legal analysis (doctrinal) to examine the relationship between norms within related regulations. This paper reveals that IMTN norms in licensing law regimes are unclear. De jure is a permit, and it means that IMTN should be given before the activities to open state land are conducted (constitutive). De facto, IMTN has more value as an instrument to reaffirms the existing land (declarative). Thus, for its relation to higher regulations, the Perda has not accommodated some provisions on administrative efforts as stipulated in Law No. 30/2014, complaint management as mandated by Law No. 25/2010, and the risk-based approach in business licensing as introduced by Law No. 11/2020. Therefore, Perda on IMTN should be amended or replaced to adjust to higher regulations' norms.
hipercriminalização e o combate à criminalidade
Authors: Spellmeier Eduarda Krissye , Puhl Eduardo

Considerando que a hipercriminalização reflete de maneira relevante na elaboração da política criminal, mister analisar como ela vem sendo utilizada no combate à criminalidade, vinculada ao direito penal máximo, endurecendo e elevando as penas em que a pena privativa de liberdade é apontada como solução. O aumento da criminalidade e da violência são assuntos que ganham destaque na mídia e o “clamor social” cobra o reforço na segurança pública. O sentimento de anomia e de injustiça parece encontrar no punitivismo uma forma de resposta à violência, sem levar em consideração a desigualdade social que assombra a sociedade brasileira desde sempre, sem refletir a respeito dos reais efeitos dessa hipercriminalização. Dessa froma, objetiva-se analisar como a hipercriminalização vem se tornando a base para a solução criminal, através do método dedutivo, por meio da utilização das técnicas de pesquisas bibliográfica e documental, além da análise da jurisprudência, doutrina e legislação.

Hegel, Naturalism and Transcendental Philosophy
Authors: Herbert Daniel
Published: September 2021

La intención de esta presentación es ofrecer una descripción del sistema filosófico de Hegel como condicionado a una síntesis del naturalismo y la filosofía trascendental, cuyas características generales serán elaboradas. A pesar de su reputación de larga data como sucesor crítico del proyecto idealista de Kant, la comprensión de Hegel de la relación dinámica entre filosofía y ciencia empírica no puede acomodarse fácilmente dentro de los horizontes formalistas del trascendentalismo kantiano. Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, Hegel atribuye a la razón filosófica una función sintética que pocos naturalistas contemporáneos reconocerían. Como tal, la metodología de Hegel combina características de las persuasiones filosóficas a menudo consideradas fundamentalmente irreconciliables. Tal síntesis de naturalismo y filosofía trascendental es posible gracias al rechazo de Hegel de cualquier dicotomía kantiana entre una naturaleza animal heterónoma y una libertad racional autónoma, y su propuesta de que la mente o el espíritu se entiendan como la ‘verdad’ o la autorrealización de la naturaleza. en lugar de su antítesis. Para Hegel, entonces, la conformidad de la naturaleza con los principios racionales de unidad sintética no necesita explicarse como necesariamente condicionada a criterios a priori de inteligibilidad que se originan en un sujeto no natural. Más bien, sostiene Hegel, la naturaleza fundamenta la posibilidad ontológica de un Espíritu que fundamenta la posibilidad de la naturaleza, de modo que la naturaleza y el Espíritu se fundamentan mutuamente.

Hacia una conceptualización de la educación musical crítica. Aplicación de los paradigmas científicos, las teorías curriculares y los modelos didácticos.
Authors: Marín-Liébana Pablo , Blasco Magraner José Salvador , Botella Nicolás Ana María
Published: September 2021

A lo largo de la historia de la educación se han sucedido diversas revisiones, reformulaciones y cuestionamientos de la misma, en distintos niveles de concreción, que han ido configurando en nuestro imaginario colectivo una idea general de lo que se entiende como educación crítica. En un sentido amplio, pueden incluirse en este proceso tanto las propuestas que emanan del movimiento de la Escuela Nueva como el conjunto de tradiciones que se desarrollan a partir de los postulados de la teoría crítica elaborada por la Escuela de Frankfurt. No obstante, esta proliferación teórica ha generado una dispersión discursiva que dificulta su comprensión y aplicación en los distintos ámbitos educativos. En el marco de la didáctica general, se ha realizado desde la década de 1980 un esfuerzo por sistematizar estos principios y situarlos en contraposición con otras formas complementarias de entender la educación. Esta sistematización se ha realizado principalmente en base a los conceptos de paradigma científico, teoría curricular y modelo didáctico. Sin embargo ha sido criticada por ser excesivamente abstracta y poco operativa en relación con las distintas áreas de conocimiento. Por ello, este trabajo revisa de forma sintética dicha sistematización realizada y formula su aplicación al ámbito concreto de la educación musical. Así, se establecen los parámetros paradigmáticos, curriculares y didácticos que deberían guiar a una educación musical crítica y se plantean ejemplos como el cuestionamiento de la belleza intrínseca del propio objeto musical, la selección del repertorio utilizado o el reconocimiento a las identidades culturales presentes en el aula.
