THE DYNAMICS OF UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE PANDEMIC. CASE STUDY IN BIHOR COUNTY
Authors: BEKESI Csaba , COTURBAȘ Lioara , BEKESI Delia
Published: February 2023

The first part of the article presents a short theoretical approach of
unemployment, and the more consistent part is based on the statistical analysis of
unemployment at the level of Bihor County. The analyzed period is represented by
the years 2019-2021. For the current analysis, we have chosen the problem of
unemployment during the pandemic, from a theoretical but also concretely applied
perspective, since unemployment represents a complex psychosocial and
economic phenomenon, and its dimensions and dynamics highlight the state of a
society, but also the concerns for the implementation of active policies, which aim
at increasing the employment rate, but also the quality of life. This paper analyzes
the dynamics of unemployment in the period 2019-2021, but also the job protection
measures implemented by the public employment system. Thus, the objectives of
the research consist in the analysis of the unemployment indicators in Bihor County
in the pre-pandemic period and in the pandemic period and of the special
measures adopted in order to solve the problems generated by the health crisis.
The used research method was the analysis of documents; we have analyzed the
Activity Reports of Bihor County Agency for Employment (AJOFM Bihor) for the
years 2020 and 2021 and the legal regulations adopted in order to protect
employees and employers during this period. The analysis of statistical data
revealed that the maximum number of unemployed people in the records of Bihor
County Agency for Employment (AJOFM Bihor) was recorded in March 2021
(6,280 people), and the unemployment rate on this date was 2.36%. Two
measures adopted by the government and implemented by the National
Employment Agency through the County Employment Agencies had a major
impact in maintaining jobs during the pandemic: technical unemployment and
reduced working hours. Thus, in 2021 compared to 2020, the number of
employees who benefited from technical unemployment decreased by 5,000
people.
Quality of the thermal environment of urban courtyards in arid and semi-arid cities. Case of the city of Ouragla
Authors: Meriem Gourari , Djamel Alkama
Published: February 2023

This work deals with the quality of urban thermal environment in an arid context of the city of Ouargla, in the south-east of Algeria.The focus has long been on interior ambiences, while city producers are being asked, in the light of new sustainability data, to make more tangible improvements by ensuring acceptable standards in urban living. . The present work is part of this perspective and aims to improve the microclimatic quality of outdoor spaces. The study examines the response strategies in terms of climate adaptation research, especially in the summer period, and tries to evaluate the thermal regulation measures relating to criteria for attenuating energy heating due to intense diurnal solar radiation, which continues with a rise in temperature at night caused by heat loss under the effect of nocturnal radiation. And this by essentially taking into account the impact of the geometric parameters which consist of the profile of the built form expressed by the ratio of the height of the geometric form to its spatial extent defining different configurations at court in relation to different solar orientations.The objective is to assess whether such configurations can be the subject of models of organization of cities in an arid context.Field experimentation led to interesting results from a scientific point of view and likely to shed new light on the contribution of traditional urban form to passive strategies.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: The past few years have shown a marked improvement in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) thrombolysis therapy in Malaysia. We analysed our data on stroke code activation performed in a non-neurologist hospital. Methods: Data of all stroke code activated patients from September 2019 to September 2020 was collected. Demographic, clinical characteristics and outcomes of these patients were analysed and reviewed with published data in Malaysia. Results: Seventy cases were stroke code activated. Majority of the stroke cases (80%) were ischaemic in nature with the highest subgroups of lacunar infarct at 60.7%. Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor followed by dyslipidaemia and diabetes. The median time for onset-to-door was 95minutes, door-to-CT was 24minutes, door-to-decision was 46.5 minutes and door-to-needle was 80minutes. There was a sequential reduction in median door-to-CT and door-to-needle time to 16.5 and 65.5minutes respectively. Fifteen patients (21.4%) were given thrombolysis therapy. The median NIHSS score was 7.5 on arrival and 6 upon discharge. They had an improvement of mRS from a median of 4 upon discharge to 1 at six months follow-up. There were no haemorrhage incidences post thrombolysis. The outcome of LACI strokes versus non-LACI strokes was similar at 3 and 6-months follow-up despite non-LACI strokes having a more severe presentation upon admission. Conclusion: With AIS thrombolysis therapy, non-LACI strokes may have similar functional outcomes as LACI strokes. With backup support from hospitals with neurologists and neurosurgeons, physician-led AIS thrombolysis therapy is implementable in a non-neurologist centre. Strong adherence to protocol is pertinent to ensure success.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Handgrip strength is a crucial biomarker of aging. Poor handgrip strength among hospitalized elderly increases the risk of health complications leading to a higher risk of hospital readmissions and mortality. This study aimed to determine handgrip strength among hospitalized elderly in Klang Valley hospitals alongside its associated factors. Methods: A total of 57 subjects were recruited for this study. Face-to-face interviews and physical assessments were conducted to obtain data on sociodemographic factors, medical background, anthropometry assessments and biochemical markers level. Dietary intake was obtained through two days of 24-hour dietary recall while tools such as Global Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and Mini Nutrition Assessment- Short Form (MNA-SF) were used to assess perception towards oral health and malnutrition risk, respectively. Reference value from the Asian Working Group of Sarcopenia (2014) was used to compare handgrip strength. Results: 94.7% of the subjects were found to have low handgrip strength with a mean value of 8.28 + 6.92 kg/force. Factors including age (r=-0.370, p=0.005), educational level (r=0.471, p=<0.0005), perception towards oral health (r=0.370, p=0.005) and energy intake (r=0.367, p=0.005) were significantly associated with handgrip strength. Meanwhile, other variables were not significantly associated. Conclusion: The majority of the subjects had poor handgrip strength. Factors such as age, educational level, perception towards oral health and energy intake were significantly associated with handgrip strength while the rest were non-significantly associated. Thus, more research and intervention strategies should be done to improve handgrip strength among hospitalized elderly to achieve a healthy aging nation.

Authors: Abdo Qaid Entesar Yaseen , Abdullah Zuraidah , Zakaria Rahimah , Long Idris
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Minocycline has been demonstrated to have potent effects on neurologic structures and functions in several animal models. However, its neuroprotective properties following a single injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in an adult rat model have not been clearly elucidated. This study investigated minocycline’s neuroprotective effects in the LPS-induced neuroinflammation rat model. Methods: Fifty adult male Sprague Dawley rats were split into five groups at random: (i) control, (ii) distilled water-treated LPS, (iii) 25 mg/kg minocycline-treated LPS, (iv) 50 mg/kg minocycline-treated LPS, and (v) 10 mg/kg memantine-treated LPS. On day 5, LPS (5 mg/kg) was given intraperitoneally once, whereas minocycline and memantine were given once daily for 14 days. Results: LPS was found to significantly induce β-amyloid peptide deposition and neuronal damage, and impair recognition memory, while administration of minocycline dose-dependently reversed these effects. These data suggest that LPS-induced recognition memory impairment by inducing β-amyloid peptide deposition and neuronal damage in the cortical and hippocampal areas. Furthermore, we compared minocycline with memantine administration, and these data suggested better effects in minocycline (50 mg/kg) and comparable effects between minocycline (25 mg/kg) and memantine (10 mg/kg) treatments in reducing β-amyloid peptide deposition, neuronal damage and recognition memory impairment induced by LPS. Conclusion: Minocycline may be a strong contender as an effective preventive-therapeutic drug for neuroinflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) based on these findings.

Authors: Wan Mamat Wan Hasliza , Jarrett Nikki , Lund Susi
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Breast cancer is a significant health problem that affects patients and their family members. Family members are often key to supporting the patient. However, there is an inadequate understanding of the role of female breast cancer patients’ family members in Malaysia. This study aimed to explore the roles of family members of female breast cancer patients from symptom appraisal until the patient treatment commences. Methods: Snowball sampling was applied and 14 participants were recruited through the nomination of the female breast cancer patients. The participants took part in in-depth, face-to-face, and audio-recorded one-time interviews. All of the interviews were subsequently transcribed verbatim and analysed using narrative analysis. Results: Five themes were identified with regard to the roles of family members: 1) confirming breast changes; 2) managing personal emotions; 3) seeking the information; 4) seeking alternative forms of treatment; and 5) advocating for conventional treatment. Conclusion: This study discovered that family members play an important role in the journey of women with breast cancer from the time an abnormality is discovered to the time the patient receives treatment. During this time, many of them suppressed their emotions in order to focus on the women suffering from breast cancer. Healthcare professionals working with breast cancer should recognise and support the key role of family members in supporting women to get treatment. It is important to take a proactive approach in recognising the early signs of stress for family members and, when appropriate, offering them additional sources of support.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Metal artifacts can degrade the image quality of computed tomography (CT) images which lead to errors in diagnosis. This study aims to evaluate the performance of Laplace interpolation (LI) method for metal artifacts reduction (MAR) in CT images in comparison with cubic spline (CS) interpolation. Methods: In this study, the proposed MAR algorithm was developed using MATLAB platform. Firstly, the virtual sinogram was acquired from CT image using Radon transform function. Then, dual-adaptive thresholding detected and segmented the metal part within the CT sinogram. Performance of the two interpolation methods to replace the missing part of segmented sinogram were evaluated. The interpolated sinogram was reconstructed, prior to image fusion to obtain the final corrected image. The qualitative and quantitative evaluations were performed on the corrected CT images (both phantom and clinical images) to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed MAR technique. Results: From the findings, LI method had successfully replaced the missing data on both simple and complex thresholded sinogram as compared to CS method (p-value = 0.17). The artifact index was significantly reduced by LI method (p-value = 0.02). For qualitative analysis, the mean scores by radiologists for LI-corrected images were higher than original image and CS-corrected images. Conclusion: In conclusion, LI method for MAR produced better results as compared to CS interpolation method, as it worked more effective by successfully interpolated all the missing data within sinogram in most of the CT images.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the risk factors of CHD among the Malaysian adult population. Methods: Using a cross- sectional observational study design, this study involved 365 adult patients aged between 30-64 years, attending clinics from eight government hospitals and four health clinics in Terengganu, Pahang, Selangor, Putrajaya, Penang, Kedah, Johor and Sabah from February 2018 until September 2020. Sociodemographic characteristics, clinical and dietary data, physical activity and stress level were recorded using a structured questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyse CHD risk factors. Results: The overall response rate was 99.2%. The adjusted odds ratio of CHD was greater for age (AOR; [%95 CI]) (1.043;[ 1.009,1.078]); waist circumference (1.033;[1.009, 1.057]); total fat intake (1.035;[1.021, 1.050]); full cream dairy products intake (1.004;[1.001, 1.008]); smokers vs non-smokers (4.691;[2.399, 9.176]); individual with family history of CHD vs without family history (2.705;[ 1.496, 4.891]); married vs single (0.434;[ 0.217,0.867]); and lower for HDL cholesterol (0.185;[0.052, 0.662]); Chinese vs Malays (10.619;[ 2.255, 49.995]); and third lowest income (0.197;[ 0.073, 0.532]) and forth lowest income (0.167;[ 0.056, 0.499]) vs lowest income. Conclusion: Age, race, income, smoking and marital status, family history of CHD, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, total fat intake, full cream dairy products intake were significantly associated with CHD among this population. This finding is particularly important to the primary health carers to identify at-risk CHD individuals thus appropriate intervention could be provided.

Introduction: Clinical training may expose medical and nursing students to workplace hazards comparable to those encountered by healthcare workers (HCWs). This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and associated risk factors among medical and nursing students. Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria, a systematic review was conducted utilising four electronic databases to appraise and synthesise the literature on LTBI which used the tuberculin skin test (TST) and the blood interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). Results: Original articles published in the English language between 2010 and 2020 were included, yielding 14 relevant articles. The average prevalence of LTBI in high-burden countries was 38.2% for TST and 20.6% for the IGRA test. According to TST and IGRA findings, the average prevalence of LTBI in nations with an intermediate burden was 16.7% and 4.7 %, respectively. The average prevalence was 2.8% and 1.1% from the TST and IGRA tests for low-burden countries, respectively. A greater risk of LTBI was shown to be related with an increase in age among postgraduate medical school students, a history of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination, origin from high-risk tuberculosis (TB) countries, increased hours of hospital exposure, a history of contact with TB cases, a high body mass index, older age group students, and a lower TB knowledge score. Conclusion: The available evidence from this review emphasised the importance of developing and implementing efficient and cost-effective TB infection-control programmes, particularly in high-burden countries and amongst students at risk.

Published: February 2023

Aims: Children below five years have been the target of screen time guidelines. The adverse health outcomes associated with it require focusing on prime strategies for reducing screen time. The current study reviews parental intervention strategies to reduce screen time among preschool-aged children. Design: Systematic review. Data sources: A total of five databases of the Cochrane register of controlled trials, CINAHL, Medline PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched from May 1 to 31, 2020. Review Methods: The keywords of “screen time”, “television”, “video”, “computer”, “mobile device”, “hand phone”, “media use”, “preschool-aged children”, “interventions”, and “strategies” used for search. The inclusion criteria are limited to specific study populations, intervention, comparison and outcomes (PICOs), language, and published study types. The quality of articles was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB) tool. Results: A total of six studies that met the inclusion criteria were further analysed. It showed that besides providing knowledge and awareness regarding screen time, restrictive practices, offering alternative activities to parents and removing the screen from the child’s bedroom were the most common strategies used by successful studies. The duration of intervention between 6-8weeks was sufficient to observe screen time reduction, while face-to-face methods dominated the mode of delivery. Increasing parental self-efficacy, listing outcome expectations, and reinforcement strategies targeting both the parents and their home environment were beneficial in reducing screen time. Conclusion: Future screen time reduction studies could benefit from incorporating the above approaches for screen time reduction intervention among preschool children.

In this article, we are trying to grasp the role of hisroricism in the understanding of epistemology in the late of XX century. From Bacon to enlightenment, it has been understood that the only criterion of science based on natural sciences. The extent of science has also been determined as study according to the method of the natural sciences, therefore the sciences concerned with history and society has also determined according to method of the natural sciences. In this article authors aims to introduce to movement called Historicism. Which is emerged in XIX century as a critical viewpoint against classical approach to the science. Most influential figure of this movement was German thinker Wilhelm Dilthey. Dilthey had an anti-positivist attitude towards the established methodology by natural science. Which was saying that in order to be a science every researcher must have rigorous set of rules and their research must based on experiment results, observable facts, and objective evidence. Starting from Dilthey and with help of other philosophical schools new movement called historicism starts its journey to establishing new methodology to human and social science. And this movement made a classification of science. They divided science into natural and spiritual science. Each of science has its own methods and object of study. They believed that to social and human study we cannot apply natural science methods of research due to it is not a physical or biological subject but it is social life and human destiny and history. Considering this process of change, is it possible to talk about historicism as a contemporary epistemological approach? As a methodology, can we talk about history in the separation of positive science? What is the subject of history in social and human sciences? By moving from this questions, we will try to understand the role of historicism in the contemprory philosophy on the hermeneutical phenomenological approach.

According to the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2020- 2030, one of the key priorities in the field of regional and multilateral diplomacy is the further development of a comprehensive strategic partnership with the People’s Republic of China. Currently, China is one of the leading world powers, a strategic partner of Kazakhstan and one of the few countries in the world that can provide feasible financial assistance to our country to restore the economy faced with the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. China’s foreign policy strategies reflect the approach of the country’s leadership to the system of international relations and global governance. China is constantly in the spotlight and arouses constant interest. It should also be noted that an important factor for the PRC determining the development of its relations with Kazakhstan is the intention to create a buffer zone between major world powers.

A história da Educação Infantil (EI) no Brasil mostra avanços significativos ao longo dos anos. Todavia, com a inserção e a distribuição de livros didáticos para a mesma, divergências apareceram. Uma delas é a argumentação sobre a perda de espaço de aprendizagem e a diminuição da vivência da ludicidade. Nesse sentido, este artigo, de abordagem bibliográfica e documental, analisa a coleção de livro didático destinado à EI: 1,2,3.... É tempo de aprender e os respectivos manuais do professor, à procura de indícios que possam mostrar o direcionamento e a inserção do lúdico nos conteúdos de Ciências. Para esta averiguação, adotou-se a Análise Textual Discursiva, enfatizando duas vertentes emergentes: a reflexão frente à Educação Inclusiva e o ensino de Ciências, a relação com o lúdico e o livro didático. Observou-se que, nos materiais analisados, há uma tendência a direcionar às crianças o uso do lúdico nos conteúdos de ensino de Ciências.

O respectivo trabalho apresenta, uma discussão acerca do papel da leitura e contação de histórias para a formação de leitores e como esse instrumento pode ser utilizado pelos professores em sala de aula. Bem como, descrevemos em forma de relato de experiência, a participação e a atuação dos autores, como contadores de histórias, no projeto de extensão intitulado de “Era uma vez: a arte de encantar crianças pela contação de histórias.” Realizado entre as datas de 09/09 a 14/10 de 2019, na Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - UNIOESTE e no Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil - CMEI Clarisse Paganini, no munícipio de Cascavel - PR. O projeto teve por objetivo desenvolver atividades que estimulassem a imaginação e despertassem o interesse pela leitura nos pequeninos. Assim sendo, a contação de histórias foi elencada como atividade fundamental na aplicação do projeto. A mesma despertou grandes comoções e participações por parte das crianças que a cada parágrafo ansiavam pelos desfechos das histórias selecionadas pelos participantes e aprovadas pela equipe pedagógica na instituição de ensino básico no município de Cascavel - PR. Para desenvolver as atividades os participantes do projeto de extensão utilizaram-se de fantasias, recursos lúdicos e objetos para materializarem aquilo que a imaginação dos pequeninos (0 a 5 anos) ainda não era capaz de lhes apresentar. A metodologia utilizada está respaldada em uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica e para a discussão teórica foram abordados diversos autores, em destaque, Cardoso (2016); Barreiros (2015); Cachoeira (2014); Ribeiro (2010); Koch e Elias (2006) e Cortes (2006).
Política, administração e Direito Educacional: noções de holismo, pluralidade e democracia na Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental
Authors: Reis Rhuan Filipe Montenegro dos , Reis Marcelo Rodrigues dos , Montenegro Patrícia Peregrino
Published: February 2023

Este artigo visa conferir aportes teóricos acerca das políticas de educação ambiental, delimitando-se, teoricamente, no planejamento nacional insculpido na Lei 9.795/1999, mais especificamente com relação às noções de holismo, pluralidade e democracia, estatuídas em seu art 4º, além de algumas posturas públicas que delas possam derivar. Além da atualidade e relevância socioinstitucional do tema, a pesquisa se justifica na medida em que a Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental vem sendo tratada de maneira bastante lacônica nos manuais e periódicos especializados em Direito Ambiental, pois pouquíssimos são os aportes que tratam com profusão a rica principiologia nela contida, o que afigura lacuna de pesquisa. De forma a constituir problema de pesquisa bem delineado, busca-se aclarar as interações entre tais princípios e as demais formas de políticas públicas e regulação educacional, investigando-se a Educação Ambiental como um ponto de partida para inovações no sistema educacional como um todo. A hipótese que rege essa pesquisa é a de que a lei em comento, apesar de tratar especificamente da política educacional ambiental, pode ser valioso norte hermenêutico para outras práticas educacionais, uma vez que possui acentuado conteúdo em sentidos e fundamentos, o que fica corroborado quando da conclusão. No que diz respeito à estrutura do texto, primeiramente, principia-se uma investigação sobre o Holismo e sua importância para o firmamento de ações concretas em Educação (Ambiental). Logo em seguida, são vistos alguns desdobramentos desse princípio como transdisciplinaridade e o direito à observância dos modelos de educação não-formal. Na sequência, serão analisados o pluralismo e a democracia como valores-chave da política educacional (ambiental). No arremate, as modulações temporais e espaciais em gestão educacional, provocadas pela legislação em destaque, são exploradas. O método é a revisão literária narrativa, que não segue contidamente instrumentos positivados, mas, outrossim, aproveita-se, com sobriedade, de aportes teóricos em outros ramos, tais como: Filosofia da Ciência, Ecologia Política, Administração, Teoria da Educação etc.
A governança multinível e o controle externo em políticas públicas de saúde no âmbito local: a possibilidade indutora dos pareceres do Tribunal de Contas
Authors: Machado Betieli Da Rosa Sauzem , Hermany Ricardo
Published: February 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é examinar o controle externo realizado pelo Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (TCE-RS) e a gestão das políticas públicas de saúde em âmbito local pelo viés da governança multinível. O problema da pesquisa parte do seguinte questionamento: no âmbito de atuação do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul é possível afirmar que este tem indicado diretrizes aos municípios para a gestão do sistema de saúde pública, alicerçado na governança, quando realiza o controle da prestação do serviço, e quais são as potencialidades da fiscalização positiva para concretização da eficiência administrativa? Visando responder tal problemática, utiliza-se o método de abordagem indutivo e de procedimento hermenêutico, e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Assim, divide-se a investigação em três momentos: primeiro, aborda-se o federalismo cooperativo, alicerçado na governança multinível, e as competências federativas; segundo, verifica-se o Sistema Único de Saúde, as competências federativas e o município na gestão da saúde. No terceiro, conceitua-se o controle desenvolvido pelos Tribunal de Contas nos municípios e analisa-se relatórios do TCE-RS referentes às políticas públicas de saúde, tendo como base a governança multinível. Por fim, conclui-se que o órgão de contas por meio das auditorias e da nova forma de avaliação de políticas públicas tende a induzir novas práticas para gestão nos municípios auditados.

Authors: Jumini Jumini
Published: February 2023

Teachers had different responses in facing top-down educational innovation. Hence, policymakers must create a map to implement a more effective strategy for innovation success. This study aimed to develop a teacher innovativeness instrument through theoretical development methods. Based on the synthesis of the theoretical research, five indicators were obtained and expanded into 25 four-scale Likert statements. Content validity was proven by eight experts and then quantified by the Aiken formula, resulting in a coefficient of 0.84 or a high category. The trial was conducted on 85 teachers from various levels and regions in Indonesia to get empirical data. Construct validity was proven by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and resulted in four factors with Eigenvalue > 1 which were factors that underlie the level of teachers innovativeness, namely volition, coverage novelty, structural obedience, and environmental communication. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) extraction and Varimax rotation proved that all items had good criteria because their factor loading was> 0.4, proving the construct validity. The instrument reliability estimated by the Cronbach Alpha formula resulted in a reliability coefficient of 0.954, or a very high category. Thus, this instrument qualifies as a good instrument and could be utilized singly or with the addition of supporting instruments.

Kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris sesuai jurusan, kemampuan berkolaborasi, dan kreativitas sangat diperlukan oleh lulusan SMK, termasuk Jurusan Desain Komunikasi Visual (DKV). Namun demikian, kemampuan bahasa Inggris khusus jurusan DKV masih kurang, sekitar 67.74% atau 21 siswa menyatakan speaking adalah hambatan. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian Project Based learning (PjBL) diterapkan untuk mencapai hasil belajar dan mengetahui peningkatan hasil belajar English for Specific Purposes. Penelitian tindakan kelas, dengan tahapan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan dan refleksi tindakan, dilaksanakan di SMK N 2 Wonosari melalui dua siklus (8 pertemuan) dengan melibatkan 36 siswa DKV kelas X. Guru bertindak sebagai peneliti utama dibantu oleh seorang pengamat. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan tes, lembar observasi, dan lembar penilaian produk. Analisis data dilakukan dengan membandingkan hasil pada siklus I dan II secara kuantitatif, sedangkan data observasi diselidiki secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek kemungkinan efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa DKV di ESP. Dari segi proses, siswa merasa belajarnya meningkat dari 67% menjadi 100% dan pelaksanaan PjBL yang dinilai guru juga meningkat sebesar 17,67. Peningkatan yang mencolok juga terlihat pada hasil tes siswa yang meningkat dari 69,44% menjadi 100% pada siklus II, dan 80% diantaranya mencapai nilai 80. Kesimpulannya, PjBL dapat menjadi alternatif upaya untuk menciptakan pengalaman yang bermakna dalam bekerjasama, kreatif, trampil berkomunikasi dan mempresentasikan produk berbasis teknologi.
Twice Bentivoglio
Authors: Bernhardt Elizabeth Louise
Published: February 2023

Genevra played the role of a polite, diplomatic and innocuous pawn
in negotiations leading to her marriage to Sante Bentivoglio (1454) and then to
Giovanni II Bentivoglio (1464). Based on letters surviving in Milan exchanged
between Bolognese leaders and Genevra’s uncle, Duke Francesco Sforza, we learn
a tremendous amount about Genevra’s position with no dowry; the complex
relationships among Milan, Bologna, Pesaro, Florence, and Rome; gender roles
and patriarchy in fifteenth-century marriages; and that Genevra did not marry
Giovanni II for love (as legends claim). Employing pre-Machiavellian schemes
involving the manipulation of family members and city-states, Francesco Sforza
arranged the alliances with Genevra for his own benefit—all while Genevra
showed herself willing to serve.
Genevra Sforza in Her Own Words
Authors: Bernhardt Elizabeth Louise
Published: February 2023

Genevra helped create and maintain important relationships with
courtly figures through an exchange of formal letters. As part of a de facto ruling
family, she understood how crucial the development of these relationships
were. Her correspondence reflects her gendered status within the nuances of the
ruling class and that of her correspondents including rulers of Milan, Ferrara,
Florence and Mantua. Her letters analysed here, predominantly exchanged with
the Gonzaga, demonstrate that she acted as a loyal Bentivoglio consort who
desired to serve her family and staff. Overall, she communicated as a traditional
fifteenth-century female for the good of her family. In no way did she demonstrate
hateful or inappropriate behaviour, psychologically manipulate others or arrange
political coups—as legends proclaim.
The Wheel of Fortune
Authors: Bernhardt Elizabeth Louise
Published: February 2023

Recruited by Pope Julius II due to his close and conflicting interests
with the Bentivoglio, Marchese Francesco Gonzaga led a military expedition to
regain Bologna. As a result, Genevra Sforza was forced into exile against custom
and tradition with the downfall of the Bentivoglio (November 1506). Although
Gonzaga led papal troops against the Bentivoglio, he and his wife, Isabella d’Este,
hosted and covered for many Bentivoglio, including Genevra. In Mantua Genevra
awaited direction from others while Julius II hounded her, forcing her out; she soon
after died at the Pallavicino court in Busseto (May 1507). While elderly, sick with
a fever and bleeding from a tumour, Genevra did not raise an army or encourage
her sons to retake Bologna—as legends insist.
Making and Dispelling Fake History
Authors: Bernhardt Elizabeth Louise
Published: February 2023

For over 500 years Genevra Sforza has been known in the historiographical
tradition through a series of misogynistic stories that explain the ruin of the
Bentivoglio and the downfall of Renaissance Bologna. Devised as part of a Roman
damnatio memoriae campaign, legends have portrayed her as an evil genius who
arranged killings, manipulated her husbands and sons and ruined the Bentivoglio.
The circulation and credibility of such stories in the concordant historiography
(that historians have been forced to rely on) shielded Genevra from investigation
while facts about her were left unexplored in contemporary materials. Finally,
the story of Genevra’s ‘black legends’ is compared to those of other unaccepted
women of power including Lucrezia Borgia, Caterina Sforza, Alfonsina Orsini,
and Catherine de’ Medici.
