Authors: Ilchenko M.O. , Dydyk N.M.
Published: June 2021

The aim of this study is to determine the optimal combination of self-curing resins and type of matrix that provides a minimal temperature increase in the pulp chamber during the fabrication of temporary crowns. Material and methods. We designed as experimental model of direct temporary crown fabrication for extracted and than prepared molars. Intrapulpal temperature rise was measured in vitro conditions during polymerization of Protemp II (3M), Protemp 4 (3M), Visalis Temp (Kettenbach), Structur (Voco) and Carbodent (Stoma). Output and peak temperature findings of self-curing resin polymerization were recorded and values ​​of temperature increase in the tooth chamber were calculated. Two types of materials were used to make external anatomical moulds: 1) silicone impression material Panasil Putty Soft of high and low viscosity and Panasil initial contact Light (Kettenbach) to make two-phase impression; 2) transparent thermoplastic polymer Erkodur (Erkodent), sheet of 1.0 mm thick, vacuum pressed. Results and Discussion. We obtained the following finding of the temperature rise inside the pulp chamber (polymer pattern / silicone matrix): Protemp IV (2,2˚C / 0,2˚C), VisalisTemp (3˚C / 0.3˚C), Protemp II (3,3˚C / 0,5˚C), Structur (3,4˚С/0,6˚С), Karbodent (6.7˚C / 3.0˚C). Conclusions. Exothermic effects during intra oral fabrication of temporary crowns can be minimized by polymerization of resins in the silicone mould as this material can absorb and dissipate heat.

Published: June 2021

This article presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various treatment approaches, including bone mixture “mp3, Osteobiol, and platelet-enriched plasma, in the therapy of destructive forms of apical periodontitis in the early follow-up. The aim of this work is to investigate the dynamic changes in radiological and densitometric parameters depending on the treatment methods for patients with destructive forms of apical periodontitis in the early follow up period. The study involved 185 patients with destructive forms of apical periodontitis, who were examined and receive the treatment. The subjects were divided into 4 groups. Measurements of the size of the lesion in the bone tissue (for lesions of round shape) were performed by the formula: S = πr2. The area of lesions of elliptical shape was measured by the formula S = π ab, where π = 3.14; r = the radius of the circle; a = the value of the major half-axis of the ellipse; b = the length of the small half-axis of the ellipse. After 3 months of the follow up, the patients of group IV, who received the composition of platelet-rich plasma and osteoplastic material mp3 OsteoBiol, demonstrated an increase in the number of the lesions of the periapical zone sized 1.6-10 mm2 in 1.7 times, while the number of the subjects with foci of bone destruction sized 11–20 mm2 and 21–30 mm2 lowered in 2.8 times and 2.0 times, respectively. In 3 months of the follow up period, the patients of group IV showed the values of Rtg scoring of bone tissues destruction in the apical area with a lesion area of 1.6-20 mm that averaged 2.13±0.10 scores and indicated a reduction of the periapical process by 1/3.

The average Rtg score in the patients of group IV (0.92 ± 0.10 points) was significantly higher than in the individuals in groups I and II, p, p 1 <0.01, and was equal to the findings obtained in the individuals of the group III, p2 > 0.05. The relative indicator of bone tissue repair in this follow up was characterized by the minimum values in the individuals of groups I and II: 0.49 ± 0.05 and 0.57 ± 0.06, p <0.05, respectively. In the groups III and IV, the value of the relative indicators of bone tissue repair were significantly higher and scored 4.82 ± 0.54, p, p1 <0.01, and 6.94 ± 0.77, p, p1 <0.01, p2 < 0.05, respectively.

At the same time, the average Rtg scoring in patients of group IV was significantly higher than in the participants of groups I and II, and was identical to the values in the subjects of group III. This study has demonstrated the successful outcomes of the treatment of dystrophic forms of apical periodontitis in the early follow up period when applying the composition based on platelet-rich plasma and osteoplastic material "mp3 OsteoBiol".
STRESS-PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF NEW MEDICINAL FORM WITH GLYCINE AND MAGNESIUM CITRATE
Authors: Devіatkina N. M.
Published: June 2021

Introduction. Stress disorders are common in clinical practice, and their treatment requires selective medication choice. Among the drugs having anxiolytic and sedative effects, glycine and magnesium compounds are being intensively investigated and the options of producing sublingual tablets based on these substances seem to be promising. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of glycine and magnesium citrate and their combination on glycine and magnesium citrate on somatic parameters (Selye's triad) under the stress conditions and to determine the most effective composition of the compounds.

Materials and methods. The experiments were carried out on 76 white rats. The substances were administered sublingually and then the animals were kept in the small cages for 6 hours in order to simulate immobilization stress. At the end of the stress exposure, the rats were euthanized and the relative masses of the thymus and adrenal glands as well as a presence of ulcers and haemorrhages in the stomach were determined. Statistical processing was performed using the Statistica for Windows 8.0 software.

Results and discussion. Immobilization stress resulted in a decrease in the relative weight of the thymus in the rats without significant changes in the weight of the adrenal glands and intense ulceration in the stomach. Prophylactic use of the compounds under the study and their combinations prevented the stress-induced involution of the thymus. The most pronounced protective effect was demonstrated by the combination of 100 mg glycine and 250 mg magnesium citrate and glycine itself. At the same time, the relative mass of the adrenal glands did not change significantly. The lowest incidence of ulcerative lesions was observed in the groups of animals who received the combinations of glycine (100 mg) and magnesium citrate (250-350 mg) or glycine (100 mg) separately. This scheme leads to a decrease in the number and area of gastric ulcers as compared to the control group. Magnesium citrate in doses of 250 mg and 350 mg was found not as effective in protecting the gastric mucosa.

Conclusion. Acute immobilization stress causes involution of the thymus and gastric ulceration, but does not result in adrenal hypertrophy. According to the findings obtained by the Selye triad study, a combination of 100 mg glycine and 250 mg magnesium citrate and glycine separately in a dose of 100 mg have showed the highest prophylactic effect.

Mushrooms are appreciated not only for their nutritional value and bioavailability, but also for their medicinal properties. There are a growing number of the studies focused on investigating medical preparation base on natural compounds, including those isolated from a number of fungi species of fungi species. The aim of this study is to compare anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer effects of extracts of shiitake mushrooms and chanterelle mushrooms in an experiment on rats. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 30 white female rats weighing 170-210 g., divided into 5 groups: group 1 included intact animals; group 2 included animals with modelled pathology; group 3 included animals, which received chanterelle extract; group 4 involved animals, which received shiitake mushroom extract, and group-5 rats received the reference drug. Observation of changes over the inflammatory process in the model of carrageenan-induced inflammation in the paw of the rats revealed an anti-exudative effect of varying intensity that made up 36.84% for the of chanterelle mushroom extract and 15.79% for shiitake mushroom extract. The dynamics of trypsin-induced inflammatory process showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity, 32.02%, during the courses of the therapy with chanterelle mushroom extract. According to the indicator of analgesic effects produced by the studied extracts, the highest indicator was reached by the chanterelle mushroom extract (33.53%) that exceeded the analgesic effect of the shiitake mushroom extract (17.65%). Therapeutic and prophylactic administration of the chanterelle mushroom extract in a dose of 10 mg / kg in the model of aspirin-induced gastric ulcer in rats showed a pronounced anti-ulcer effect which made up 66.7% compared with that by shiitake mushroom extract (33.4%) and the reference drug “Altan” (100%). Conclusion. The obtained data have demonstrated the promise of using the extracts of chanterelle and shiitake mushrooms for the therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HEPATOCYTES IN WHITE RATS
Authors: Mustafina Н.M.
Published: June 2021

At present the liver is known as a polyfunctional organ of a highly complex structure, and more than 80% of the liver cell population is hepatocytes, organ-specific cells involved in the absorption, synthesis and accumulation of various substances subsequently secreted into the blood or bile. The aim of the study is to obtain at the light-optical level a set of morphological data characterizing the structural features of hepatocytes in white rats. The study was carried out on 10 outbred white rats of both sexes weighing 204 ± 0.67 g. All studies were carried out within the bioethical and ethical framework when using experimental animals. Traditional paraffin blocks and semi-thin sections were made from liver preparations and then studied using a light microscope. The studies have demonstrated that in the liver tissue of intact white rats, hepatocytes predominate in quantitative terms. The dimensional characteristics of the latter are quite variable and range within transverse size from 15.38 - 19.41 μm, longitudinal size from 21.98 - 26.46 μm, and the average area of ​​hepatocytes, respectively varies from 432.50 ± 40.93 μm2. The average diameter of the nuclei is 7.61 ± 0.25 μm, and the area of ​​the nucleus is 45.46 ± 3.06 μm2. Considering the findings, the arithmetic mean of the area of ​​the cytoplasm is 387.03 ± 41.03 μm2, and the nuclear – cytoplasmic ratio of hepatocytes, respectively, averages 0.119 ± 0.01. The overwhelming number of hepatocytes has one nucleus, and the relative number of such cells makes up 79.41%. Accordingly, to 20.59% of hepatocytes contain two nuclei; tri-nuclear cells have not been found. The study has revealed that the liver tissue of the white rats of the control group is represented mainly by hepatocytes with the moderate number of evenly distributed glycogen granules, occupying mainly the intermediate parts of the hepatic lobules. The study of semi-thin sections has shown the polymorphism of the of hepatocytes, among which, on the basis of tinctorial properties of the nucleus and cytoplasm, four types can be distinguished, while hepatocytes with moderate basophilia of the cytoplasm and a dark nucleus predominate quantitatively. It is suggested that the morphological picture of hepatocytes on classical histological preparations is primarily due to the amount of glycogen in the cytoplasm, while on semi-thin sections, other functional features of individual liver cells are observed including the intensity of bile production, secretion of proteins, fats and others substances. Thus, the features of the structure of various types of hepatocytes must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the functional state of liver cells.

Published: June 2021

The article presents a review and analysis of relevant available literature sources on etiopathogenetic mechanisms of periodontal disease and liver diseases of viral aetiology, and, in particular, hepatitis B and C viruses. Significant prevalence, pronounced polymorphism of clinical hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations, the incidence rate of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma allows us to consider hepatitis of viral aetiology as a medical and social challenge. Multi-vector liver dysfunctions can cause oral presentations in this group of patients, and in particular, in their periodontal tissues. Viral liver damage is associated with significant impairment of the microbiocenosis in gingival sulcus and periodontal pockets. Dysbiotic changes are characterized by an increase in the number of opportunistic pathogens and anaerobic periodontal pathogens. Exacerbation of dysbiosis along with deterioration of oral hygiene occurs as a consequence of reduced local resistance and hyposalivation due to the sialotropic properties of hepatitis C virus. Significant pathogenetic role in the development of periodontal disease is played by disorders of metabolic and synthetic functions of the liver, as well as hormonal imbalance, metabolic disorders, immune-mediated damage, induction of autoimmune mechanisms and cytokine imbalance. The formation of hepatogenic osteopenia and osteoporosis enhances the loss of bone mass of the alveolar processes in the jaws and, accordingly, the resorption of bone tissue with the further progression of more aggressive forms of generalized periodontitis.

Acute abdominal pain, a set of symptoms developing in patients having pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space, is known as one of the leading causes for surgical hospitalization both in Ukraine and abroad. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination drug "Neospastil", which belongs to the group of antispasmodics in combination with analgesics, on the severity of symptoms of abdominal spastic pain in order to improve the treatment of patients. This clinical study included 90 patients with a clinical picture of abdominal pain syndrome, who were hospitalized to the surgical departments. The patients were divided into 3 groups, 30 patients in each. We used various options for antispasmodic and analgesic therapy and compared their effectiveness in terms of the time of the onset of the analgesic effect, the time period of relieving abdominal spasm, and the duration of the periods between repeated spastic pain attacks. The results of our study demonstrated the use of the combined drug "Neospastil" in the management of acute abdominal pain syndrome even in the first day enabled to reduce the severity of the pain syndrome by 38% compared with the drotaverine therapy and by 19% compared with analogues of the combined drugs. The period of the occurrence of subsequent spastic pains was prolonged with the study drug by 2.2 ± 0.5 hours compared with drotaverine and by 1.1 ± 0.1 hours compared with spasmalgon. When using “Neospastil”, a decrease in the duration of an attack of abdominal spasm was noted by 29% compared with drotaverine and by 22% compared with spasmalgon. Summarizing the obtained data, we can recommend the use of “Neospastil” for the primary therapy of abdominal spastic pain in surgical patients that will lead to an improvement in the clinical treatment outcomes.

Lower back pain is the most common cause forcing adults to seek for medical assistance; it is associated with severe functional disorders and burdens on patients themselves and health care system that require in-depth study of its causes, management, and prevention. The aim of this research is to investigate the peculiarities of autonomic nervous system status depending on indices (rates) of anxiety and depression in patients under 45 years with lower back pain and to develop more effective treatment. We examined 104 male patients with neurological manifestations of the lumbar spine osteochondrosis without obesity, somatic and cardiovascular pathology (average age was 34,05±5,7 years) and 25 practically healthy volunteers (the mean age constituted 35,04±3,6). All patients were shared into two groups. The 1st group consisted of 50 patients with radiculopathy caused by herniation of intervertebral discs, whereas the 2nd group involved 54 patients who suffered from radicular signs of lumbar spine osteochondrosis. The patients underwent clinical (somatic) and neurological examinations, thorough assessment of the autonomic nervous system, psychological states by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in addition. We have revealed that the muscular-tonic disorders with myofascial syndrome occurred in all patients. We also found a reliable increase in the expression of vegetative complaints and symptoms in comparison with the control group. Analysis of anxiety and depression indices by HADS has reflected that average anxiety level in control group amounted to 8.33±1.24 scores and the depression level made up 0,8±1,06 scores; in the patients with vertebrogenic radiculopathy, the average anxiety level constituted 9.78±1.58 scores and the depression level was assessed as 4.1±2.13 scores. The patients suffering from reflexogenic lower back pain had the anxiety level, which equalled 8.01±1.16 scores and the depression level of 1.53±1.5 scores. Severe muscular-tonic signs and the development of vegetative dystonia syndrome in association with subclinical increasing levels of anxiety in spite of unchanged depression rates have been found as key features of neurological manifestations of the lumbar spine osteochondrosis in young male patients.

Authors: Sliusarieva A.V.
Published: June 2021

The relative contribution of individual metabolic risk factors and their clusters in pregnant women to the birth of premature infants, who are too large for their gestational age, is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to find the correlation between individual metabolic risk factors and their clusters in pregnant women and the birth of premature newborns, which are too large for their gestational age. This retrospective study included 84 preterm infants. The following metabolic risk factors were assessed in mothers of the children: the presence of overweight / obesity before pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy, high blood pressure during pregnancy, as well as the growing level of triglycerides immediately after childbirth, high-density lipoproteins, cholesterol, and hyperglycemia. Adverse effects in children included delivery route, neonatal asphyxia, respiratory failure syndrome, and jaundice. The odds ratios were calculated for both an individual metabolic risk factor and their combination using logistic regression analysis. Metabolic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia were significantly associated with the birth of premature babies, who are too large for their gestational age after adjustment for other factors. In a cohort of premature babies, no reliable relationship was found between obesity and the birth of children, who are too large for their gestational age. Children whose mothers have three metabolic risk factors at the same time, as a rule, are more likely (OR = 7.39, 95% CI 2.72-20.11) to be born too large for their gestational age. Pregnant women with a combination of metabolic risk factors for preterm birth are more likely to give birth to babies, who are large for their gestational age.

This research is based on social cognitive theory and aims to determine the effects of flow experience and positive and negative emotional states of individuals participating in recreational activities on their self-efficacy. The study also aimed to explore the effect of flow experience, self-efficacy, and positive-negative emotions on individuals' life satisfaction. The data were collected through a valid and reliable scale. Convenient sampling method was employed and 434 valid questionnaires were collected between January and April 2018. Hypotheses were tested by multiple regression analysis. Results show the balance between challenges and skills subscale of flow experience and positive emotional state affect self-efficacy. In addition, life satisfaction is affected by flow experience, positive emotions and self-efficacy. Based on the relevant findings and inferences, some suggestions have been developed for the enterprise or operators. Within the scope of the flow experience, balance between challenges and skills can be taken into account by the companies that work with intensive business timetable (for example: businesses where the service is offered on site, such as hotels, restaurants). A further suggestion can be made for managers of sports clubs, fitness center operators, course managers (such as swimming, dancing) and public managers. More individuals should be directed to do physical activities for themselves, regardless of whether they are indoor or outdoor activity.
La música popular en las elecciones generales de 2019 en España
Authors: Alaminos Fernández Antonio Francisco
Published: June 2021

Esta investigación indaga en el diseño de las playlists electorales de tres partidos en las elecciones generales de 2019 en España. El binomio partido-candidato es esencial para entender la función de la música popular en las campañas electorales. El himno es una imagen de marca sonora del partido que apela a votantes fieles y enmarca en campaña al candidato. Las playlists con música popular permiten un discurso dividido emocional y temáticamente que facilita la personificación del partido. El empleo funcional de las canciones en las playlists se desarrolla desvinculando la canción utilizada de la ideología del intérprete. Tomando como referencia los estilos musicales, los temas de las letras y las fechas de las canciones, se observa que electoralmente el PSOE se dirige a los jóvenes con mensajes sociales de actualidad, y el PP, generacionalmente más amplio, usa la nostalgia y la identidad en la lógica de recuperar antiguos votantes. Ciudadanos abunda en la época de la denominada Movida, en la captación de electorados maduros, así como algunos jóvenes. En cualquier caso,  es destacable esla escasez de propuestas políticas, el predomino del mensaje emocional, atribuible a las organizaciones políticas y no a los candidatos, fortalece la vinculación con el partido.
Estrategias de gestión en la información sobre la monarquía española en un diario digital inglés
Authors: Rodríguez Cuadrado Beatriz , Ruiz San Román José Antonio
Published: June 2021

Este trabajo se ocupa de uno de los modos sutiles de presentar informaciones sesgadas. Se estudian las estrategias discursivas empleadas por The Guardian para informar sobre la monarquía española en un momento crítico para esta, la etapa en la que tiene lugar la abdicación del rey Juan Carlos I. Se utiliza el análisis del discurso basado en la teoría de la (des)cortesía (Brown y Levinson,1987). El corpus está constituido por todas las noticias sobre la monarquía española que tienen en su titular las palabras Spain o Spanish durante los años 2013 y 2014 y que aparecieron en la versión digital de este diario inglés. Algunas de las noticias se analizan con mayor detalle en función de su relevancia. Los resultados muestran cómo el diario británico usa distintos mecanismos discursivos, entre ellos la insinuación, la metáfora, la simbología o las referencias al mundo literario shakespeariano, que contribuyen a formar una imagen distorsionada de la realidad.

Esta investigación analiza el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en las noticiassobre suicidios publicadas en la prensa digital española en el periodo comprendido entre 2010 y 2017. Para ello se ha utilizado la hemeroteca Mynewsonline. Se ha llevado a cabo un análisis de contenido sobre un universo creado a partir de todas las noticias sobre suicidios (n=183) publicadas en los seis principales medios de comunicación digitales españoles (elpais.com, elmundo.es, abc. es, lavanguardia.com, elconfidencial.com y 20minutos.es). Entre otras cuestiones, se ha estudiado también el acompañamiento gráfico y el carácter joven y/o popular de las víctimas. Los resultados indican que se publican pocas noticias sobre suicidios y que solo el 32,84% de las publicadas se refieren a sucesos ocurridos en España. También se ha evidenciado una falta del seguimiento de las recomendaciones éticas de la OMS.

Authors: Hashizume Yushi , Tandia Mahamadou
Published: June 2021

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the suppressive effect of a single dose of water-soluble α- glycosylated rutin (monoglucosyl rutin; MR) on postprandial blood glucose elevation in healthy subjects with relatively high fasting blood glucose levels.Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study enrolled 34 healthy Japanese adult subjects with relatively high fasting blood glucose levels. The study period ran from November 13, 2019, to March 19, 2020. All subjects were randomly allocated to either sequence A or sequence B (n = 17 per group) using a computerized random number generator. The washout period was at least one week between periods I and II. In period I, the subjects took either MR or placebo tablets. In period II, subjects took different tablets from the ones they had taken in period I. We evaluated their blood glucose and insulin levels after glucose loading (150 g of cooked rice). The incremental area under the curve (IAUC) of the postprandial blood glucose level was determined as the primary outcome. The blood glucose and insulin levels at maximum (maximum blood concentration; Cmax), each measurement point, and IAUC of the blood insulin level after glucose loading were the secondary outcomes.Results: Out of 33 subjects, 16 in sequence A (11 men and 5 women, 54.5 ± 9.8 years) and 17 in sequence B (9 men and 8 women, 58.8 ± 9.4 years) were analyzed as a per-protocol dataset. The glucose IAUC after MR consumption was significantly lower than that of the placebo (P = 0.034). Results of the other outcomes were not observed with significant treatment effects. There were no adverse events attributable to the test foods.Conclusions: We suggest that MR has a suppressive effect on the elevation of postprandial blood glucose in healthy adults with relatively high fasting blood glucose levels.Trial registration: UMIN-CTR: UMIN000038515. Foundation: Toyo Sugar Refining Co., Ltd.Keywords: monoglucosyl rutin, blood glucose level, incremental area under the curve, α-amylase, α-glucosidase, crossover study

Ambitious and Anxious
Authors: Hou Minghui
Published: June 2021

In this new publication, Syracuse University Associate Professor Yingyi Ma employs a mixed-method research design to examine and analyze the educational motivations, experiences, and trajectories of a new wave of Chinese undergraduate students from diverse family backgrounds with an emphasis on “the duality of ambition and anxiety” (p. 7). This book challenges the stereotyped expectations of Americans in regards to Chinese students (for instance, that all are from well-off families and have poor English skills). Ma argues that it is pivotal to consider the educational, social, and cultural backgrounds of Chinese internationals in their processes of self-formation in order to have a well-rounded and diverse understanding of Chinese undergraduate students

Konsep Dan Sejarah Total Quality Management

Published: June 2021

Kualitas  sering disama artikan dengan mutu. Kualitas sebenarnya menjadi bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Tetapi, sampai sekarang, dalam dunia industri, belum ada definisi yang sama tentang kualitas. Kualitas itu seperti halnya pornografi, yaitu sulit didefinisikan, tetapi fenomenanya atau tanda-tandanya dapat dilihat dan dirasakan dalam kehidupan nyata. Total Quality Management atau manajemen kualitas mutu merupakan suatu filsafat manajemen atau komitmen budaya organisasi untuk memuaskan pelanggan secara konstan lewat perbaikan terus menerus atas semua proses organisasional, sehingga bisa menghasilkan produk dan jasa yang bermutu tinggi serta menjadikan kualitas sebagai strategi usaha dan berorientasi kepada kepuasaan pelanggan dengan melibatkan seluruh anggota organisasi. Selain itu, Total Quality Management juga sebagai suatu pendekatan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas usaha, baik secara kulitas maupun kuantitas
Epistimologi Bayani, Irfani Dan Burhani

Ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang hingga saat ini menjadi kunci paling mendasar dari kemajuan yang diraih umat manusia, tentunya tidak datang begitu saja tanpa ada sebuah dinamika atau diskursus ilmiah. Proses untuk mendapatkan ilmu pengetahuan itulah lazim dikenal dengan istilah epistemologis. Islam dalam kajian pemikirannya menggunakan beberapa aliran besar dalam kaitannya dengan teori pengetahuan (epistemologi). Setidaknya ada tiga model sistem berpikir dalam Islam, yakni bayani, irfani dan burhani yang masing-masing mempunyai pandangan yang berbeda tentang pengetahuan. Ketiga sistem atau pendekatan tersebut dikenal juga tiga aliran pemikiran epistemologi Barat dengan bahasa yang berbeda, yakni empirisme, rasionalisme dan intuitisme. Selain sebagai instrumen untuk mencari kebenaran, ketiga epistemologi tersebut juga bisa digunakan sebagai sarana identifikasi cara berfikir seseorang. Pemahaman paling sederhana pada ketiga epistemologi ini adalah jawaban dari pertanyaan “dengan apakah manusia mendapatkan kebenaran?”

Kajian ini bertujuan Untuk mengetahui pengertian filsafat ilmu pengetahuan, mengetahui perbedaan ilmu dan pengetahuan, serta mengatui tujuan, objek dan lingkup kajian filsafat ilmu pengetahuan. perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan semakin lama semakin maju dengan munculnya ilmu-ilmu baru yang pada akhirnya memunculkan pula sub-sub ilmu pengetahuan baru bahkan kearah ilmu pengetahuan yang lebih khusus lagi seperti spesialisasi-spesialisasi. Untuk mengatasi gap antara ilmu yang satu dengan ilmu yang lainnya, dibutuhkan suatu bidang ilmu yang dapat menjembatani serta mewadahi perbedaan yang muncul. Oleh karena itu, maka bidang filsafatlah yang mampu mengatasi hal tersebut. Terlepas dari berbagai macam pengelompokkan atau pembagian dalam ilmu pengetahuan, kita dapat mensinyalir bahwa peranan ilmu pengetahuan terhadap kehidupan manusia, baik individual maupun sosial menjadi sangat menentukan. Karena itu implikasi yang timbul bahwa ilmu yang satu sangat erat hubungannya dengan cabang ilmu yang lain serta semakin kaburnya garis batas antara ilmu dasar-murni atau teoritis dengan ilmu terapan atau praktis
Politik Dan Kebijakan Pendidikan Islam

Politik merupakam pembahasan yang tidak terlepas dari pembentukan Negara. Negara membutuhkan seorang pemimpin untuk menyelamatkan umat. Memanglah dalam Alquran maupun hadis tidak ditemukan secara gamblang konsep tentang Negara. Hal ini tentu bisa dimaklumi karena konsep Negara atau nation-state seperti sekarang ini baru muncul pada abad ke-16 yang dikemukakan oleh Nicolo Machiavelli. Namun demikian, bukan berarti bahwa konsep Negara itu tidak ada sama sekali dalam Islam. Secara substantif, terdapat sejumlah ayat Alquran dan hadis yang menunjukkan adanya pemerintahan pada umat Islam. pendidikan Islam dalam bentuk pesantren  di Jawa, maunasah di Aceh, Surau di Minangkabau dan madrasah  sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam yang telah mengalami proses  transformasi  keilmuan  dan  kelembagaan  adalah  lembaga pendidikan Islam yang telah menyejarah. Usia pendidikan Islam  lebih tua dari kemerdekaan RI sehingga tidak dapat dipisahkan dari kultur bangsa ini.
Reorientasi Kebijakan Pendidikan Nasional

Published: June 2021

Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 Tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional (Sisdiknas) adalah titik awal jawaban atas tuntutan reformasi sistem pendidikan nasional dari sentralistik kepada desentralistik, maka negara harus menata ulang sistem penyelenggaraan pendidikan sesuai dengan potensi, karakteristik, dan keunggulan masing-masing daerah yang selama ini kurang terakomodasi. Berangkat dari amanat undang-undang Sisdiknas tersebut, kita memperoleh gambaran yang jelas bahwa setiap warga negara seharusnya memiliki hak yang sama dalam memperoleh pendidikan yang bermutu, mulai dari tingkat pendidikan yang terendah sampai dengan yang tertinggi sekalipun. Sejumlah problematika muncul, mulai dari kesanggupan pendanaan daerah yang tidak sama, kewenangan pengangkatan guru yang diambil oleh pemerintah daerah, pemeliharaan sarana-prasarana sampai kepada kualitas hasil belajar siswa yang masih memperihatinkan, belum lagi permasalahan politik yang mempengaruhi birokrasi di daerah termasuk pendidikan, banyak guru yang dilibatkan ataupun terlibat dalam politik praktis dalam pemilihan kepala daerah, kalau menang akan meminta atau diberi jabatan lain, sebaliknya kalau kalah guru akan dimutasikan, sehingga permasalahan desentralisasi selalu bermunculkan, kesan yang ada sekarang desentralisasi dianggap menjadi permasalahan dalam duania pendidikan Indonesia.

A produção científica dentro de cursos de graduação e pós-graduação tem sua importância para a construção de uma nova forma de pensar do discente. O Mestrado Profissional em Educação Profissional em Rede Nacional (ProfEPT) une o conteúdo disciplinar, saberes pedagógicos, e a produção acadêmica final e os vincula a situações reais da prática educacional, podendo o trabalho final ser apresentado de várias formas (artigos, livros, produtos educacionais). A produção acadêmica, tanto do orientador como do orientando, além da importância ligada a divulgação científica, tem peso na avaliação do programa e, também, na sua manutenção. O objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar quantitativamente a produção acadêmica e educacional de um discente de mestrado em Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) do Instituto de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFAP) de Macapá, Amapá, Amazônia, Brasil. Durante o mestrado a produção científica em várias formas se mostrou necessária durante o processo de formação. Unindo a teoria com a prática da escrita, facilitou a produção da dissertação que deve ser apresentada ao final do curso. Através do processo de organização, planejamento das ideias resultou em um novo pensamento estruturado de acordo com a normas da academia, mas que não se limita a esse espaço e normas. A produção no decorrer do mestrado procura contribuir tanto quantitativamente quanto qualitativamente para a produção científica da região norte, impactando de forma positiva nela e no programa de mestrado. Além da importância na contribuição da criação e divulgação científica, as produções tendem a impactar positivamente na avaliação e na manutenção do programa PROFEPT-IFAP, realizadas pela CAPES.

Os alunos de modo geral costumam apresentar dificuldades na aprendizagem da matemática algébrica, especialmente em situações-problema que exigem uma tradução da linguagem natural para a linguagem algébrica. Este trabalho investigativo, resultado de sessões de estudo realizadas com alunos do 7º ano do ensino fundamental procurou, antes de iniciar a escrita algébrica com os alunos, entender o que caracteriza e sustenta o pensamento algébrico, fundamentado nos escritos de Lins (1994), e no livro de Vygotsky (2001). Ao trabalhar situações-problema com os alunos distribuídos em grupos, a pesquisa mostrou, através do diálogo estabelecido entre os participantes, dada a relação que existe entre pensamento e linguagem, que são os sentidos produzidos no processo de internalização do pensamento algébrico que permite constituí-lo nos sujeitos, levando-os a escrita algébrica. Ao longo das sessões de estudo também ficou claro que a linguagem age na estruturação do pensamento, constituindo-se em ferramenta básica para uma efetiva elaboração do conhecimento sistematizado e que o pensamento algébrico uma vez desenvolvido e internalizado leva a escrita simbólica.
Hilton Edwards, Brecht and the Brechtian
Authors: Dean Joan FitzPatrick
Published: June 2021

The Dublin Gate Theatre Company’s repertory of international, often experimental plays offers perhaps the clearest distinction between the Gate and the Abbey in the mid-twentieth century. A growing body of scholarship focuses on how Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir deployed innovative, non-realistic staging techniques and brought to Ireland design elements associated with European artists. The Gate’s international remit can also be seen in its production of plays not merely authored by foreign playwrights, but focused on issues outside the conventional purview of Irish politics, including anti-Semitism and totalitarianism. Throughout his career, Hilton Edwards often sought out non-realistic dramaturgies to critique modern institutions. Some of the plays chosen by Edwards and mac Liammóir were so provocative, socially-conscious, and politically-charged that they challenged the prevailing ethos in Catholic Ireland and incurred the wrath of the Catholic Cinema and Theatre Patrons’ Association. Edwards’ exposure to Bertolt Brecht’s plays, theories, and the 1956 London performances by the Berliner Ensemble prompted not only his production of Mother Courage in 1959 and Saint Joan of the Stockyards two years later, but also his greater willingness to comment on theatre, for example on the radio and in his book The Mantle of Harlequin (1958). Edwards shared with Brecht an awareness of music as integral to performance and a vision of theatre unconstrained by realism and the proscenium arch. Although the Gate repertory of new productions in the post-Emergency era may appear unsurprising, that perspective is informed by the half century in which dramatists such as Arthur Miller and Brecht emerged canonical figures. Hilton Edwards’ direction of Mother Courage and Saint Joan of the Stockyards advanced the Gate’s internationalism and helped to reshape the political nature of Irish theatre.Keywords: Hilton Edwards, Dublin Gate Theatre, Bertolt Brecht, Irish theatre, theatre and politics, Brechtian
