This means that this product is worthy of being tested to become a learning video in recount texts material.
Online Teaching in K-12 Education in the United States: A Systematic Review
Authors: Johnson Carla C. , Walton Janet B. , Strickler Lacey , Elliott Jennifer Brammer
Published: August 2022

The transition to fully or partially online instruction for K–12 students necessitated by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the current lack of understanding of practices that support K–12 student learning in online settings in emergency situations but also, more troublingly, in K–12 online teaching and learning more generally. A systematic review of literature regarding K–12 online teaching and learning in the United States was therefore conducted to begin to fill this gap and to inform the work of policy makers, researchers, teacher educators, teachers, and administrators as they negotiate the changing role of online instruction in our nation’s educational systems. The review revealed a set of contextual conditions that are foundational to student learning in K–12 online settings (prepared educators, technology access and autonomy, students’ developmental needs and abilities, and students’ self-regulated learning skills). The literature also pointed to seven pillars of instructional practice that support student learning in these settings (evidence-based course organization and design, connected learners, accessibility, supportive learning environment, individualization, active learning, and real-time assessment).
Violência Colonial em Frantz Fanon, James Baldwin e Spike Lee
Authors: Oliveira Lima Anderson , Kustner Rocio Castro
Published: August 2022

A temática deste artigo surgiu a partir da repercussão mundial que teve o assassinato do afro-americano George Floyd cometido por policiais brancos em Minneapolis (Estados Unidos), no contexto da pandemia do COVID-19 de 2020. O seu objetivo é analisar a violência colonial embutida nos conflitos étnicos-raciaisglobais à luz da teoria de Fanon (1968), na sua obra “Os Condenados da Terra”, dialogando com dois “artivistas” (ativistas e artistas) afro-americanos: o escritor James Baldwin no documentário “Eu não sou seu negro” (Peck, 2016) e o cineasta Spike Lee, com seu filme “Faça a Coisa Certa” (1988), realizado em memória de outros afro-americanos que acabaram como George Floyd. Também nos servimos do documentário “A 13a Emenda” (DuVernay, 2016), para compreender a cruel realidade de que ainda existam leis nos Estados Unidos que abrem brechas para continuar estigmatizando e condenando o negro. O trabalho está ancorado numa análise bibliográfica, cinematográfica e documental, estabelecendo um diálogo entre os mencionados autores que, desde a psiquiatria, a literatura e o cinema, denunciam a violência colonial e convidam a refletir sobre caminhos para combatê-la.

The Mindsponge-based extensions of the Technology Acceptance Model: Behavioral determinants of the attitude toward of non-conscious emotional data harvesting
Authors: Ho Tung Manh , Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: August 2022

With the rise of emotional AI, citizens are increasingly subjected to the practice of non-conscious emotional data harvesting, i.e., the opaque ways in which their emotions are analyzed, categorized, and responded to by algorithm. The facts that nowadays, AI technologies not only feel but also feed our emotions, often operate silently in the background of our physical and virtual infrastructure without our knowledge, and are quietly moving across cultural and national borders necessitate a more culturally sensitive way of quantitively studying the act of technological acceptance. Thus, this study provides the first attempt to extend the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, 1989) model with insights from the Mindsponge model of information filtering (Vuong and Napier, 2015) and the Bayesian statistical approach. Analyzing a multinational dataset of 1,015 young adults (age 18-27) with this new framework, this study aims to understand behavioral factors determining the attitude toward non-conscious data harvesting by the government and the private sector. First, we find that the data fitting results of mindsponge-based TAM models are distributed more Bayesian weights compared to the purely TAM models in both the public and private cases. The results suggest fertile ground for future studies that further explore the intersection of psychology, culture, and technology. Second, the analyses also indicate that autonomy and self-efficacy seem to solve the so-called privacy-personalization paradox, where people state a strong preference for privacy but are willing to give up their personal data for personalized benefits. Concretely, we find positive correlates of attitude toward non-conscious data harvesting by either governmental or private sectors are the variables that measure the familiarity with the AI technologies, perceived utility of AI technologies, emotional control when engaging with social media discussion, and using social media for public messaging. Finally, this study found an indicator for the lack of trust toward the government’s engagement with non-conscious dataveillance, concurring with the literature. These results carry important implications for governing and ethical living in the age of emotional AI.

Development of a self-report measure to assess sleep satisfaction: The Suffolk Sleep Index (SuSI).
Authors: Protogerou Cleo , Gladwell Valerie F. , Martin Colin R
Published: August 2022

Good sleep is essential for health but there is no consensus on how to define and measure people’s understanding of good sleep. To date, people’s perceptions of a good night’s sleep have been, almost exclusively, conceptualized under the lens of sleep quality, which refers to objective characteristics of good sleep, such as such as ease and time needed to fall asleep, hours of sleep, and physical symptoms during sleep and upon awakening. A related, yet different construct, sleep satisfaction, refers to perceived positive affect about one’s sleep experience and has, to date, received little attention. This research focuses on sleep satisfaction, rather than sleep quality, and aims to develop a self-report measure to assess sleep satisfaction in an English adult population. As the measure will be developed in Suffolk, England, and its primary intended users are Suffolk community members, it is labelled the Suffolk Sleep Index (SuSI). The SuSI will draw from principles of community-based participatory research, following a seven-phase developmental process comprising literature review, interviews with Suffolk community members, synthesis of literature review and interview findings, pre-testing, pilot-testing, scale evaluation, and refinement. The present research will also investigate indices related to sleep satisfaction, including the community’s general health status, lifestyle factors and socio-economic status. The research will add to the limited, yet emerging body of research on perceived sleep satisfaction and its measurement. To our knowledge a valid and reliable sleep satisfaction self-report measure has not been developed in the UK previously.
Characteristics and impact of physical activity interventions during substance use disorder treatment excluding tobacco: A systematic review
Authors: Piché Florence , Daneau Catherine , Plourde Chantal , Girard Stéphanie , Romain Ahmed Jerome
Published: August 2022

Substance use disorder is a worldwide issue that entails negative health and physical activity is a promising complementary therapy for alleviating the consequences. The objective of this reviews is to characterize physical activity interventions offered in the literature and explore their effects during treatment for people with substance use disorders with excluding studies focusing only on tobacco use. A systematic search of seven databases on articles including a physical activity intervention during a treatment for substance use disorder was done and an examination of the presence of bias was performed. A total of 43 articles including 3135 participants were identified. Most studies were randomized controlled trial (81%), followed by pre-post design (14%) and cohort studies (5%). The most common physical activity intervention identified was of moderate intensity, 3 times per week (≈ 1 hour) for 13 weeks. Cessation/reduction of substance use was the most studied outcome (21 studies, 49%), and 75% showed a decrease in substance use following physical activity intervention. Aerobic capacity was the second most studied effect (14 studies, 33%), with more than 71% of studies showing improvement. Twelve studies (28%) reported a decrease of depressive symptoms. Physical activity interventions in a treatment for substance use disorder seem to be a promising, but more methodologically rigorous scientific studies are needed.
Atlantic Water intrusion triggers rapid retreat and regime change at previously stable Greenland glacier
Authors: Chudley Thomas , Howat Ian , King Michalea , Negrete Adelaide
Published: August 2022

Ice discharge from Greenland’s marine-terminating glaciers contributes to half of all mass loss from the ice sheet, with numerous mechanisms proposed to explain their retreat. Here, we examine K.I.V Steenstrups Nordre Bræ (‘Steenstrup’) in Southeast Greenland, which, between 2018—2021, retreated ~7 km, thinned ~20%, doubled in discharge, and quadrupled in flow speed. This rate of acceleration is unprecedented amongst Greenland’s glaciers, and now places Steenstrup in the top 10% of glaciers by contribution to Greenland’s discharge. In contrast to expected behaviour from a shallow, grounded tidewater glacier, Steenstrup was insensitive to high surface temperatures that destabilised many regional glaciers in 2016, responding instead to a large anomaly in deeper Atlantic Water (AW) in 2018. By 2021, a rigid pro-glacial mélange had developed alongside notable seasonal variability. Steenstrup’s behaviour highlights that even apparently long-term stable glaciers with high sills are vulnerable to sudden and rapid retreat from warm AW intrusion.
Shape-Context Congruence Effects: Evaluations of Angular vs. Curved Shapes in Different Visual and Semantic Contexts
Authors: Blazhenkova Olesya , Dogerlioglu-Demir Kivilcim , Booth Robert W.
Published: August 2022

We examined evaluations of angular vs. curved shapes, depending on their visual (unframed, square-framed, or curved-framed) and semantic (‘pleasure’ vs. ‘interest’ evaluation criteria) contexts. Participants chose which of a pair of shapes they liked more (Study 1), or found more pleasant vs. more interesting (Study 2); or, they ranked sets of six shapes according to their curvedness (Study 3), or their pleasantness vs. their interestingness (Study 4). Participants did not consistently evaluate curved more positively than angular shapes, but did evaluate framed more positively than unframed shapes. Shapes were evaluated more positively when they were congruent with their visual and semantic contexts: evaluations were more positive for angular shapes in square frames, and curved shapes in round frames; ‘interest’ evaluations were more positive for angular shapes, while ‘pleasure’ evaluations were more positive for curved shapes. Furthermore, curved shapes in round frames were evaluated most highly, but only for ‘pleasure’ evaluations.
How feeling understood predicts trust and willingness to forgive in the midst of violent intergroup conflict: Longitudinal evidence from Ukraine
Authors: Brik Tymofii , Livingstone Andrew G , Chayinska Maria , Bliznyuk Evgeniya
Published: August 2022

How can intergroup trust and forgiveness be fostered in the face of violent, large-scale intergroup conflict? We addressed this challenge by testing the role of intergroup felt understanding – the extent to which outgroup members are perceived to understand ingroup perspectives – in predicting Ukrainian nationals’ inclinations to trust and forgive Russians for the conflict that has affected Ukraine since 2014. We did so using representative longitudinal data (N = 743 across three time points) collected six months before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Pre-registered analysis of dynamic mediation models confirmed that increases over time in felt understanding predicted increases over time in perceived positive regard, which in turn predicted increased outgroup trust and forgiveness over time. A mini-multiverse analysis indicated that this pattern was also largely robust to varying time point specifications. The findings provide further evidence that the feeling of being understood may be a key psychological factor that enables reconciliation.
When the law changes: The impact of a change in criminal justice policy on a long-term hot spot policing program
Authors: Chainey Spencer , Estévez-Soto Patricio Rodrigo
Published: August 2022

In 2016, Montevideo implemented a large-scale hot spot policing program credited with city-wide reductions in robberies and thefts during its first year. However, these reductions were followed by a sudden increase in robberies and thefts in late 2017. Using interrupted time series regressions, we investigated three potential explanations for this increase: 1) the failure of the hot spot policing program to maintain crime decreases; 2) improved crime recording by police patrols using tablet computers; and 3) the change from an inquisitorial to an adversarial criminal justice process. We find that the hot spot policing program continued to be associated with crime reductions until November 2017. Subsequent increases were strongly associated with the new criminal justice process, while tablets had a positive, albeit negligible, impact. The findings illustrate how the unintended consequences of criminal justice reforms, desirable as such reforms may be, can eliminate crime reductions achieved using hot spots policing.
Autism in women: What are the sociological costs of an adulthood diagnosis?
Authors: Mathews Elizabeth
Published: August 2022

For decades, women were just not diagnosed with autism. Although psychology is starting to recognize autistic women, there is still a long way to go. With 75 anecdotes of autistic women on Facebook, the story starts to unravel, revealing the stigma, gatekeeping, and discrimination experienced by women when seeking a diagnosis and validation. Years of this have resulted in "masking" to survive, making diagnosis harder and less accessible. As a result, many women are often diagnosed when their child is diagnosed. In this paper, I will examine how misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis affect women in the United States, their families, and their communities.
Sherlock and Shārokku
Authors: Rumak Natalia
Published: August 2022

This article explores the problem of archetypical features in the fictional character Sherlock Holmes. There are many fictional works, which we may regard as proof of the increasing popular interest, where this character presents ‘awkward or socially embarrassing’ features that can be associated with tropes on ‘nerds’ even. At the same time in our post-modern society, we also see a great number of different ‘upside-down’ stories, which show us well-known fictional characters from another angle, explaining their stories or giving them unexpected features. We suggest that it became a trend to expand features immanent to an archetypical fictional character, shifting the focus towards them, and thus allowing the creators to change the character while still keeping some of his core characteristics intact. Such changes also make it possible to move a character to a different environment and make him look quite natural there. In recent TV shows, Sherlock Holmes has undergone drastic changes in his homeland – Great Britain, and he changes ever more when he appears in Japan. His devotion to his work as shown in classical works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has turned into a kind of sociopathic behaviour: he hates people and tries to avoid them; he is only interested in his work, which aligns him with ‘nerdy’ features. We suggest that in spite of these transformations, he is the same great detective, maintaining an archetypal identity that we can recognise easily.
‘Gus, don’t be the comma in Earth, Wind & Fire’
Authors: Burkhalter Janée
Published: August 2022

Whereas Black identity is the standard for cool, nerds are typically seen as anything but. Nerd identity is exemplified by characters who are awkward, highly intelligent, lonely and undoubtedly uncool. This article seeks to extend scholarship on nerd identity by critically examining the fictional representation of the Black nerd Burton ‘Gus’ Guster, a lead character in the American program Psych (2006 – 2014) and subsequent made-for-television movies. Gus both embodies and extends our understanding of nerdiness by considering not only Blackness, but also types of loneliness. Despite meaningful friendships and a close-knit family, Gus experiences loneliness throughout the series. It is not until the made-for-television movies that we see Gus enter into a long-term, committed intimate relationship, thereby addressing the most painful type of loneliness.
Social and Spatial Representations of the Nerd in Donnie Darko
Authors: Tembo Kwasu David
Published: August 2022

The nerds of 20th and 21st century global pop and visual culture have taken various forms over the decades. In a plethora of media - from video games to comic books to film - individuals associated with this subject position have typically been shown to be on the periphery of socio-spatially determined spaces of value. Through contemporary North American high school dramas, comedies, romances, and thrillers ranging from The Faculty (1998) to She’s All That (1999) to The Twilight Saga (2008-2012), these socio-spatial spaces of value are typically associated with social capital and popularity. Richard Kelly’s protagonist in his directorial debut Donnie Darko (2001) raises interesting questions concerning the relationship between the nerd, the outsider and the loner, and their relation to social and personal space. In socio-spatial terms, Donnie calls into question the value and power of socio-spatially determined zones of value if one sees such spaces and structures as valueless in principium. This paper conducts a close reading of Donnie Darko, beginning with the assumption that Donnie is a nerd and, parsing the character through the socio-spatial relations of a variety of adolescent subject positions, what Donnie Darko ultimately uncovers about identity, space, and value.

Patients Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome Exhibit Insufficient Previous Management of Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Prospective, Observational, Single-Center Study
Authors: Siafarikas Christos , Siafarikas Christos , Liatis Stavros , Kapelios Christos , Skouloudi Marina , Bonou Maria , Barbetseas John
Published: August 2022

Objectives: Optimal regulation of modifiable risk factors, has been proposed as the standard of care, both for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate at what extent individuals who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) had previously been receiving adequate preventive measures against classical risk factors for CVD.
Methods: Data were analysed for all 185 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of ACS in the Cardiology department of our hospital during an annual period (1/7/2019 until 30/6/2020). The study population was divided into two groups, primary and secondary prevention subgroups, according to the previous medical history of CAD.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 65.5 ±12.2 years and most patients were male (81.6%). Fifty-seven patients (30.8%) had a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and 97 (52.4%) had a history of dyslipidemia. Hypertension was present in 101 (54.6%) patients and coronary artery disease (CAD) in 51 (27.9%). In the secondary prevention group, the LDL-C was on target in only one-third, while one out of 5 patients did not use statins. The use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant agents was 94.5%. Among patients with diabetes, only one out of five patients had been using a GLP-1 receptor agonist or/and an SGLT-2 inhibitor, while the HbA1c was on target in half of them. One-quarter of the patients were active smokers. In the primary prevention group, the use of statins was overall low (25.8%) but more frequent in patients with diabetes and those without diabetes at very high-risk (47.1% and 32.1%, respectively). Overall, the LDL-C was on target in less than one-quarter of patients. The use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant agents was low (20.1%), but higher in those with diabetes (52.9%). In the diabetic group, HbA1c was on target at 61.8%. Active smoking was practiced by more than one-third of the patients.
Conclusion: Our data show that in a substantial proportion of patients presenting with ACS, previous CVD prevention, both primary and secondary, fails to meet the current recommendations provided by scientific societies.
JORNALISMO E MEIO AMBIENTE A contribuição dos Meios de Comunicação e o conceito de Sustentabilidade
Authors: Campos Pedro Celso
Published: August 2022

Este artigo é uma reflexão sobre a contribuição que os meios de comunicação social podem dar ao debate público sobre os problemas ambientais. A Agenda XXI e vários outros documentos da ONU chamam atenção para a necessidade de informar  e conscientizar a sociedade. Por outro lado, as Teorias da Comunicação têm sempre em comum o imperativo do emissor se fazer entender pelos receptores, de tal modo que eles possam ser agentes da mudança e não apenas passivos observadores. O primeiro passo, portanto, é estudar a questão ambiental, pautar adequadamente o tema e levar esclarecimento. Não é o que ocorre, por exemplo, com alguns conceitos técnicos da área, destacando-se o de “sustentabilidade”, surgido nos anos 70 para nortear políticas públicas a serviço da preservação da vida presente e, principalmente, futura, e, hoje, utilizado até mesmo como parâmetro de preservação dos lucros e das vantagens resultantes da exploração da natureza.

Repensando o planejamento em tempos de globalização e transformações sociais
Authors: Guazina Liziane , Belisário Kátia Maria
Published: August 2022

This article aims to discuss why the concept of planning, usually adopted in the literature of Public Relations, should be critically reconsidered in the light of today’s social and cultural transformations. Globalization, telecommunication development, internet and social networking have changed social relationships and trade, while contributing to the increasing communication crisis. In this context, we should ask: what kind of communication planning can possibly be done in this time of structural transformations? Here we argued that planning should be thought not only from the point of view of traditional theories, but also from the approach of social sciences, particularly Sociology and Anthropology. One cannot forget that it must take into account the diversity of cultures and values ??present in a democracy as informal groups of workers, emergent social classes, civil and social rights movements such as women, homosexuals, ethnical and religious groups and others should be considered, especially in Brazil. In this sense we suggest that it is necessary to consider the other´s perspective when planning, especially when linking new technologies and creativity. Planning, in our view, means more than that.  It means making decisions while evaluating and acting upon those decisions, taking into account the perceptions, symbolic interactions and cultural differences that exist among the various groups and situations. It is in times of such social transformations and new technologies that the need to react to events as they unfold will increase to a level of complexity never seen before. Therefore, planning nowadays becomes a form of mobilizing the organization itself in its dialogue with the existing different social groups.

Influence of dining experiences on customers’ satisfaction and loyalty in fine dining restaurants was investigated with the aim of underscoring what attracts patrons most significantly to such restaurants and its impact on productivity of the restaurants. A total of 10 restaurants were purposively selected based on their kind of service delivery and location within Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. 20 patrons were selected using systematic sampling technique at each of the restaurants, giving to a total of 200 respondents. Data were obtained using a well-structured questionnaire and analysed utilizing simple percentages and Pearson correlation. Finings revealed that food quality and service quality have a significant (p = 0.031 and p = 0.003 respectively) influence on level of patronage at fine dining restaurant. It was discovered that there is no significant (p = 0.824) relationship between and physical environment and level of patronage at fine dining restaurant. The study concludes that, in fine dining restaurants the quality of food offered, and service rendered are significant determinants of customers’ satisfaction and predictor of customers’ loyalty. Restaurateurs should focus more on maintaining and/or improving food and service quality. However, physical environment should not be neglected because it also critical to fine dining experience.

Bringing Politics Back In
Authors: Krampf Arie , Ansenberg Uri , Zur Barak
Published: August 2022

This article makes an empirical and historical contribution regarding the role of the Labor Party government between 1992 and 1996—Yitzhak Rabin’s government—in shaping the Israeli path to neoliberalism. The article argues that Rabin’s government developed a new neoliberal political-economic logic that differed from the political-economic logic of the Emergency Stabilization Plan as well as from the political-economic logic of Sharon’s government in the post-Intifada era. It argues that Rabin’s government’s political-economic logic conforms to the notion of ‘embedded neoliberalism’ (Bohle and Greskovits 2012). The article also argues that political parties had greater impact on the Israeli neoliberal path than is conventionally claimed. The historical analysis is based on qualitative and quantitative research in six policy areas: supply-side, demand-side, welfare and redistribution, development, depoliticization and democratization.
Leaving the Margins
Authors: Elias Haneen , Even-Zahav Ronit Reuven
Published: August 2022

This article presents a qualitative study of nineteen Palestinian female students in Israel. In doing so, it promotes a context-informed approach in social work education, which takes into account power relations, issues of gender, and socio-political and socio-cultural backgrounds. The students participated in a context-informed course held at Ruppin Academic Center in Israel. The findings focus on two contexts in the students’ lives: (1) their socio-cultural background, which includes their family and cultural space; and (2) the socio-political context, which includes majority-minority relations. A discussion on the intersection of these two spheres follows. Whereas students felt the socio-political realm was blind to their identity as Palestinian female students, they felt that the course was like their ‘home’ in terms of language and identity.
“The Chain of Hebrew Soldiers”
Authors: Stern Nehemia , Ben-Shalom Uzi , Lebel Udi , Ben-Hador Batia
Published: August 2022

This article presents an ethnographic analysis of the educational and religious tensions that emerged during a five-day biblical seminar run by the Israel Defense Forces’ Identity and Jewish Consciousness Unit. We argue that despite the official focus on professionalization as a pedagogical parameter, the seminar participants themselves reacted to biblical narratives in ways that indicate a distinct kind of personal and individualized discourse. By focusing on this disjuncture, we highlight the very real limitations larger (governmental or civilian) institutional entities face as they attempt to shape religious attitudes within the Israeli public arena. Examining how seminar participants interpret biblical narratives can enable scholars to portray a more nuanced account of how religion and “religionization” function within the Israel Defense Forces.
