Published: June 2018

Power is the legitimate use of force in a socially acceptable manner, the legitimate force exercised by a person or group over others. The element of legitimacy is an important element of the idea of ​​power, which is the primary means by which power distinguishes itself from other, more general concepts of force. Force can be imposed forcibly or violently. On the other hand, the Authority relies on the acceptance of the subordinates, granting the right to those above them to issue orders or directives. the relationship of psychology and political power is a strong relationship, and through the study of the psychology of the masses and rulers in any state or region can be interpreted and predict the behavior of power and the masses in this country, and the subject of authority in the Kurdistan region as a subject directly related to the subject of psychology of power and the quality of this authority in this region is a place Controversy for everyone who monitors and deals with this power, so determine the quality of power and how to conduct it through the study of the psychology of power, according to current reality and one of the most important jobs for researchers in the Kurdistan Region so we know the quality of political authority in this region, so we try in this modest research to determine the quality and type of power in the Kurdistan Region through the analysis of the psychology of power in Kurdistan region.

Authors: Miele Francesco , Clementi Silvia , Gennaro Renzo , Nicolao Ilaria , Romanelli Tiziana , Speese Katja , Piras Enrico Maria
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND

The diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) management has generated a debate on the ways in which ICTs can support the patient-provider relationship. Several studies have focused on text messages. Most of the literature proposes quantitative analysis of the impact of text messaging on the clinical conditions of patients and/or their satisfaction with the technology, while the qualitative studies have focused mainly on patients’ perceptions about strengths and weaknesses of this technology.

OBJECTIVE

In contrast to past studies, we adopted a qualitative approach for the in-depth examination of patient-health care professionals’ interactions in text messaging.

METHODS

The study focused on the use of the Trento Cartella Clinica del Cittadino Diabetes System (TreC-DS), a digital platform with a built-in messaging system, in two diabetes centers, integrating message analysis with interviews with patients and health care professionals. Each center focused on a specific patient profile: the first one focused on pregnant women with T1D and the second one focused on adult patients with poorly controlled diabetes.

RESULTS

The main results of the study were as follows: (1) Health care professionals and patients perceived the messaging system as useful for sharing information (ie, pregnant women for prescriptions and adults with poorly controlled diabetes for advice); (2) The content and communication styles of the two centers differed: in the case of pregnant women, interactions via text messaging were markedly prescriptive, while in the case of adult patients with poorly controlled diabetes, they were conceived as open dialogues; and (3) Conversations were initiated mainly by professionals; in the cases considered, it was mainly the diabetes center that decided whether a messaging conversation was needed.

CONCLUSIONS

The results show how the features of interactions of text messaging changed based on the patient profiles in two different centers. In addition, in both diabetes centers that were involved, the system seems to have laid a foundation for a closer relationship between patients and health care professionals.
Digital Pain Drawings Can Improve Doctors’ Understanding of Acute Pain Patients: Survey and Pain Drawing Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Shaballout Nour , Aloumar Anas , Neubert Till-Ansgar , Dusch Martin , Beissner Florian
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND

Pain drawings (PDs) are an important tool to evaluate, communicate, and objectify pain. In the past few years, there has been a shift toward tablet-based acquisition of PDs, and several studies have been conducted to test the usefulness, reliability, and repeatability of electronic PDs. However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated the potential role of electronic PDs in the clinical assessment and treatment of inpatients in acute pain situations.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether knowledge of the patients’ electronic PD has the potential to improve the doctors’ understanding of their patients and to influence their clinical decision making. Furthermore, we sought to identify differences between electronic PDs of patients and their treating pain specialists in an acute pain situation and to find those specific characteristics derived from the PDs that had the largest impact on doctors’ understanding.

METHODS

We obtained electronic PDs from 47 inpatients in acute pain situations before their consultation with a pain specialist on a tablet personal computer with a stylus. Before looking at their patients’ drawings, these specialists drew their own conception of the patients’ pain after anamnesis and physical examination. Patients’ drawings were then revealed to the doctors, and they were asked to evaluate how much the additional information improved their understanding of the case and how much it influenced their clinical decision on an 11-point Likert scale (0=“not at all” and 10=“very much”). Similarities and differences of patients’ and doctors’ PDs were assessed by visual inspection and by calculating Jaccard index and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the pain area and the number of pain clusters. Exploratory analyses were conducted by means of correlation tables to identify specific factors that influenced doctors’ understanding.

RESULTS

Patients’ PDs significantly improved the doctors’ understanding (mean score 4.81, SD 2.60, P<.001) and to a lesser extent their clinical decision (mean 2.68, SD 1.18, P<.001). Electronic PDs of patients and doctors showed fair to good similarity for pain extent (r=.454, P=.001) and widespreadness (P=.447, r=.002) were important factors helping doctors to understand their patients.

CONCLUSIONS

In a clinical setting, electronic PDs can improve doctors’ understanding of patients in acute pain situations. The ability of electronic PDs to visualize differences between doctors’ and patients’ conception of pain has the potential to improve doctor-patient communication.
Smoking patterns and preferences for technology assisted smoking cessation interventions among adults with opioid and alcohol use disorders (Preprint)
Authors: Tofighi Babak , Lee Joshua , Sherman Scott , Schatz Daniel , El-Shahawy Omar
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND

Smoking remains a major public health burden among persons with opioid and/or alcohol use disorder yet preferences for technology assisted smoking cessation strategies remain largely unknown among this population.

OBJECTIVE

Assess smoking patterns and preferences for adopting technology-based interventions targeting smoking among individuals with opioid and/or alcohol use disorder.

METHODS

A 48-item semi-structured survey was conducted among inpatient detoxification program patients eliciting demographic and clinical characteristics, smoking profile, technology use patterns, and preferences for adopting technology-based smoking cessation interventions. Multivariate logistic regression models further evaluated the association between participant demographic and clinical characteristics and technology preferences.

RESULTS

Participants were mostly male (91%), unemployed or dependent on public assistance (68%), and admitted for detoxification for alcohol (47%), heroin (31%), or both alcohol and heroin (22%). Past 30-day smoking was reported by 78% of the sample, and 60% reported at least one quit attempt in the past year. Mobile phone ownership was common (89%); with an average past-year turnover of 4 mobile phones and 3 phone numbers. Computer ownership was low (28%) and one third reported daily internet use (34%). Telephone (41%) and text message-based interventions (40%) were the most popular technology-based intervention to facilitate smoking cessation.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite concurrent AUD-OUD, most had attempted to quit smoking in the last year and preferred telephone- and text message-based interventions to facilitate smoking cessation. However, high turnover of mobile phones, phone numbers, and limited access to computers pose barriers to dissemination of technology-based smoking cessation interventions in this vulnerable population.

The Javanese Onomatopoeic Words Concerning Human Sense, Head and Eye Movements
Authors: Sunarya Sunarya
Published: June 2018

Onomatopoeic words in the Javanese language are evidence of the uniqueness of both lingual aspects and the described facts. This study discussed the phenomenon of phonological and morphological language processing. This study examined the derivation of the onomatopoeic root words of Javanese into some form of the word as an iconic formation. The data source covered source language of local print media. The study found that the iconic words to denote the head movements are classifiable into two types of motion. The first, the head movement itself is without involving the other elements; second, the head movement which involves other elements. Head movements that do not involve other elements include the motions of up and down, like: manthuk [mantu?] ‘nodding’, lenggut-lenggut[lәŋgut-lәŋgut] ‘nodding’, and ndhingkluk [nḍiŋklu?] ‘down’; right and left lateral movements, such as: gedheg[gɛḍɛg]. Additionally, head movements that involve other elements are described by a word sundhul[sundUl]. The iconic nature of several words for eyes movements are words such as mlorok [mlɔrɔ?], kedhep [kәḍɛp], nglirik [ŋlirI?], liyer-liyer [lijәrlijәr], mencereng [mʧәñәŋrәŋ], blalak [blala?] and ngiyer [әijәr]. The word mlorok ‘glaring’ was derived from basic word plorok with addition of prefix aN-, and comes from the root rok.
From Gender Identity Oppression to Power Reversal in the Novel Calabai
Authors: Triadnyani I Gusti Ayu Agung Mas
Published: June 2018

Recently, the sociocultural problems of transgender have shown an increase. The novel, Calabai, vividly depicts various acts of violence perpetrated by Bugis tribesmen against transgender members of the community. They consider transgender as deviant or different. From a humanist perspective, this view forms a violation of the principles of human rights. Actually, this novel develops the idea of cultural identity. Through deconstructive analysis according to Derrida, this study exposes the ideology embedded within such a textual representation of transgender. It reaches two conclusions. First, a reversal of ideology takes place in the text; from oppression based on discrimination, to a power reversal. Second, being regarded as a human being and receiving respect from another human being become a form of recognition of personal and cultural identity.

Published: June 2018

Dialectology study on Javanese language in Banyuwangi, Surabaya, Magetan and Solo is significant as it reveals the lexical and phonological differences of Javanese “ngoko” in the four areasresearched. The areas were chosen due to the following reason; Banyuwangi is located in the eastern tip of Java Island and directly borders the islands of Bali and Madura, Surabaya is the capital of East Java province as well as a metropolitan city, Magetan is located in the western tip of East Java Province which is directly adjacent to Central Java Province, and Solo is the center of Javanese culture in Central Java. The focus of this research is to calculate the number of lexical and phonological differences of Javanese “ngoko” in Banyuwangi, Surabaya, Magetan and Solo. This research uses quantitative researchwith (the or a) descriptive method. The data of the research is Javanese “ngoko”.The instrument is Nothofer questionnaires modified by Kisyani by developing Swadesh's list into 829 words/phrases. The results of the research reveal(1) the largest number of Javanese “ngoko” lexical is found in Solo while theleast were found in Surabaya. The lexical differences of Javanese “ngoko” in Banyuwangi, Surabaya, Magetan, and Solo resulted in one utterance, two dialects and four subdialects, (2)19 patterns of phonological differences in Javanese “ngoko” were found. Finally, the phonological differences of Javanese “ngoko” in Banyuwangi, Surabaya, Magetan, and Solo resulted in four utterances.
Tourist’s Perceived Risk and Image of the Destinations Prone to Natural Disasters: The Case of Bali and Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Rindrasih Erda
Published: June 2018

Tourism has emerged as one of the largest and most rapidly growing economic sectors in the world. Nevertheless, many tourist destinations have been periodically confronted by natural disasters that threaten their survival as an industry by negatively impacting their image and safety perception. This research assessed tourists’ perception of the risk and images of a destination that is considered prone to natural disasters, by surveying 537 tourists in Yogyakarta and Bali. This study contributes to the debate on tourism development issues related to negative perceptions and images that have discouraged prospective tourists from visiting affected destinations. The results of the survey indicated that the occurrence of past disasters did not strongly influence tourists’ decision to visit Indonesia. Instead, the creation of the destination image was informed more by its current situation, and it is these current factors that may encourage or discourage potential tourists. These findings should signal to tourism planners that while environmental disasters are unavoidable, post-disaster rehabilitation of a destination’s image would significantly increase its chances of rebounding quickly.

Upgrading EFL teachers’ Quality through An Online Mentoring System, An Innovative In-Service Training Model: The Case of Indonesia
Authors: Adnan Zifirdaus
Published: June 2018

Many studies have been conducted in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education to improve teachers’ quality, some of these have been on mentoring teachers, with the purpose of improving teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). However, TEFL teaching is still problematic worldwide including Indonesia. Indonesian TEFL is seriously problematic because the expected levels of competencies are not adequately achieved. A major factor, teacher quality, is at issue. Even though the Government has provided models of training for its teachers, they have not been effective. This paper addresses this issue and proposes an innovative but cheaper mentoring system. This system also overcomes the shortcomings of the existing models of in-service training including its ad hoc nature, lack of practice and feedback, lack of the opportunity to upgrade poor English skills. The paper argues that the system can overcome these issues, and Indonesia is capable of running the system with its existing resources. The model could be adapted to address similar TEFL issues found elsewhere.
Revealing Possible Truths Behind “Coolest Monkey in The Jungle”: Ideational Making Analysis Approach
Authors: Khasbani Imam
Published: June 2018

Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)-commonly defined as a discourse analysis approach that focuses on both linguistic and non-linguistic resources- has been witnessing increasing popularity in the research area. It has been argued, on the one hand, that the greater level of practicality the approach has to offer compared to its predecessor (Critical Discourse Analysis) becomes the main reason of why researchers gradually turn their reference on analysing discourses to this method (Han, 2015). An increasing trend of multimodal communications - that no longer use speech or writing exclusively in their occurrences - has become the logical ground on the other (Kress, 2011). This paper, using H&M ‘monkey’ hoodie advertisement (refer to appendix) as a form of multimodal communication, employs MCDA to explore the possible advantages one can learn through the process. To start with, a brief account of the key factors in the development of MCDA will be presented. This part is then followed by the discussion of the analysis approach employed in the paper and also the rational basis for choosing the approach over others. The analysis of the advertisement is done by drawing on related language and social theories to scrutinize the ideologies the company implanted on their advertisement. A thoughtful discussion on what is understood through the analysis process and what and how one can relate the practicality of multimodality analysis to another social area such as pedagogy will mark the end of this paper’s discussion.

Nasionalis Pembaru Tanpa Kegaduhan: Biografi Manusiawi Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX
Authors: Purwanto Bambang
Published: June 2018

Ada satu hal yang selalu membekas setiap kali selesai membaca biografi, yaitu muncul kesan betapa pentingnya setiap figur itu di dalam proses sejarah yang dijalaninya. Setiap tokoh yang ada di dalam biografi itu selalu dihadirkan sebagai keutuhan diri yang sempurna, seseorang yang seakan-akan tidak pernah memiliki kekurangan layaknya seperti malaikat. Masing-masing tokoh hadir dengan kebesaran diri yang luar biasa, dan bahkan dalam banyak hal cenderung digambarkan melampaui kenyataan diri sebagai manusia, atau paling tidak seperti manusia super. Akibatnya, intersubjektivitas dalam penulisan sejarah dan mitologisasi atas figur yang menjadi objek tulisan tidak dapat dihindari. Perbedaan antara sejarah sebagai historiografi yang merupakan konstruksi atas kenyataan yang terjadi di masa lalu dengaan mitos yang dipenuhi oleh subjektivitas normatif dan sarat dengan kepentingan legitimatif, menjadi sangat tipis. Dalam banyak kasus bahkan sejarah dan mitos bercampur aduk menjadi satu, namun di dalam memori kolektif dipercaya benar-benar sebagai kenyataan masa lalu oleh masyarakatnya. Terlepas dari berbagai tinjauan kritis yang ada di dalam biografi ini, kebesaran Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX sebagai nasionalis dan pembaru baik dalam konteks sejarah Yogyakarta maupun sejarah Indonesia tetap lebih menonjol dan tidak tergantikan, harimau mati meninggalkan belang gajah mati meninggalkan gading manusia mati meninggalkan nama. Nama besar Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX sebagai nasionalis Indonesia sejati yang tidak pernah melupakan asal usul kejawamataramannya tidak akan hilang oleh tinjau kritis atas tindakan-tindakan politik dalam konteks masanya.

Los imaginarios de la alteridad y la construcción del chivo expiatorio: Trump y el racismo antinmigrante
Authors: Oehmichen Bazán Cristina
Published: June 2018

La exaltación nacionalista durante la campaña presidencial de Donald Trump tuvo entre sus promesas la de deportar a los inmigrantes, construir un muro en la frontera sur de Estados Unidos, devolver los empleos que las industrias se habían llevado a México, renegociar el Tratado Trilateral de Libre Comercio y expulsar a los musulmanes. Apeló al sentimiento de nostalgia de una era mítica en la que el país había sido «grande». Llamó al electorado a recuperar esa grandeza, que supuestamente se había perdido porque otros se apoderaron del país: los inmigrantes, los afrodescendientes y otras minorías. En este artículo se plantea analizar la construcción de los inmigrantes como un chivo expiatorio, una alteridad a la que se culpa por la precariedad y el desempleo que padecen amplios sectores de la población. Un discurso que se apoya en imaginarios subyacentes y apela a los sentimientos de pérdida para redirigir el enojo provocado por las políticas neoliberales y desviarlo hacia una víctima sacrificial: los migrantes. La metodología se basa en la indagación de fuentes secundarias, tales como comunicados de prensa, reportajes, entrevistas, publicaciones en línea, así como en la consulta sistemática en redes sociales y en entrevistas efectuadas entre noviembre de 2016 y junio de 2017 a miembros de la comunidad mexicana asentada en Estados Unidos.

PROPOSAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL LABELLING AS INDICATOR OF THE HIDRIC EFICIENCY OF WATER TAPS

ABSTRACT

This work has the objective of proposing an environmental label of water efficiency for faucets. It is based on the observation that water is a finite and fundamental resource for the maintenance of life and that inadequate anthropic actions regarding its preservation and management have led to water crises, especially in large urban centers. The water efficiency of national taps is discussed and it is proposed to adopt a seal to be stamped on its packaging. The labeling of faucets aims to inform the population, in an objective and clear way, the volume of water consumed, giving the consumer subsidies for a conscious choice as to the equipment to be purchased. It is concluded that the adoption of environmental labeling, through the proposed water seal, can be an important instrument for the rational use of water.

Published: June 2018

El objetivo fue determinar la frecuencia de la infección por Cryptosporidium spp., y realizar la identificación de especie o genotipo de los ooquistes en corderos lactantes Pelibuey, Black Belly y Katahdin mantenidos en pastoreo en la región de la Huasteca Alta del estado de Veracruz, México. Las muestras de excremento se recolectaron de 210 corderos de 7 a 21 días de edad, procedentes de 21 granjas; se procesaron mediante frotis fecal teñido con Kinyoun y por PCR anidada para amplificar la región del gen 18S rARN del parásito (830 pb); las muestras positivas fueron secuenciadas. La frecuencia de corderos positivos a Cryptosporidium spp., por microscopía fue 19.5 % (41/210), con una escala entre rebaños de 10 a 50 %; en tanto que por técnicas moleculares fue de 26.8 % (11/41) con un intervalo de 14 a 50 %; las demás muestras fueron negativas a ambas pruebas. Las 11 muestras  secuenciadas tuvieron una homología del 100 % con la región 18S rARN de C. parvum. Estos resultados confirman la importancia de C. parvum como principal agente de la criptosporidiosis en corderos lactantes y su amplia distribución en esta región de México. Esta identificación destaca que las ovejas pueden considerarse como una fuente potencial notable de criptosporidiosis humana, porque se considera una enfermedad zoonótica, principalmente para las personas que manipulan los rebaños.

The 2015 Baltimore Protests: Human Capital and the War on Drugs
Authors: Crosby Joanna
Published: June 2018

In order to show how what Michel Foucault described as Chicago School neoliberalism in The Birth of Biopolitics devalues human life while masking that devaluation, I examine the 2015 death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Maryland, and the following civil unrest.  Through an exploration of the concept of human capital, I argue that this concept, while seeming to answer a question regarding labor in economics, exacerbates the devaluation of human life in the U.S. generally and in the case of Freddie Gray more specifically. Foucault’s Birth of Biopolitics lectures illustrates why the devaluation of life has gone largely unrecognized. As the concept of human capital, along with other ‘market values,’ proliferated beyond the realm of economics into daily life, human beings have come to be characterized as ‘enterprise units.’ I will argue that the prosecution of the War on Drugs provides a paradigmatic case of characterizing human beings as enterprise units, some useful and others surplus, looking to Baltimore to provide concrete examples.
Foucault’s functional justice and its relationship to legislators and popular illegalism
Authors: Lafleur Sylvain
Published: June 2018

This article presents two of Foucault’s lesser known notions, “justice fonctionnelle" (functional justice) and “stratégie du pourtour” (strategy of the perimeter), in order to interrogate the role of legislators in regard to the policing of political dissent. This article contains three parts. First, I present the two lesser known notions referred to above. Then, I provide my understanding of the role of law for Foucault. Finally, in the third part, I explain how a consensual relationship between the police and legislators is established. I present briefly the work of Avrom Sherr (1989) and outline the contents of a recent U.S. anti-protest law (H.R. 347, or "Anti-Occupy Wall Street Law") which gives the police greater powers to redefine the legal nature of public space and to make arrests without having to show criminal intent (mens rea) on the part of protesters. My aim is to further think through the paradox that Foucault mentioned in his lectures on security societies: non-judicial methods used in security processes undermine the primacy of law but also lead to the overproduction of laws (inflation législative).
Governing the Voice: A Critical History of Speech-Language Pathology
Authors: St. Pierre Joshua , St. Pierre Charis
Published: June 2018

This essay argues that Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) emerged as a response to the early twentieth-century demand for docile, efficient, and thus productive speech. As the capacity of speech became more central to the industrial and democratic operations of modern society, an apparatus was needed to bring speech under the fold of biopower. Beyond simple economic productivity, the importance of SLP lies in opening the speaking subject up to management and normalization—creating, in short, biopolitical subjects of communication. We argue that SLP accordingly emerged not as a discreet institution, but as a set of practices which can be clustered under three headings: calculating deviance, disciplining the tongue, and speaking the truth of pathologized subjects.

Se presentan los resultados de la investigación realizada sobre las vivencias en la formación académica de estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Lengua y Cultura de la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas. La investigación utilizó como estrategia metodológica la etnografía a partir de la revisión de las prácticas realizadas y reconstruidas en forma de vivencias de las estudiantes de procedencia indígena, para conocer la incidencia del género y la trayectoria escolar en este proceso de formación. Las prácticas de campo de las estudiantes en las comunidades donde se insertaron como parte de la estrategia del Taller de Vinculación Comunitaria propiciaron la reflexión sobre su condición como mujer escolarizada en el nivel superior, frente a las condiciones en las que viven las mujeres indígenas en su lugar de origen. El liderazgo para afrontar las tareas escolares fue una de las estrategias utilizadas por las estudiantes, mostrando las habilidades para conducir a su grupo de compañeros en estas prácticas escolares. Al mismo tiempo, se evidenció una serie de deficiencias en la integración de los productos académicos que debía reportar la experiencia teórica/práctica derivada del trabajo en las comunidades. Las vivencias como objeto de estudio permitieron conocer de cerca los significados que las estudiantes le atribuyen a su condición, atravesadas por el rol en las escuelas y en la vida cotidiana.
Problematización del concepto de fronteras y su implicancia en los espacios educativos. Análisis de la película Los colores de la montaña
Authors: Castañares Eliana Itatí , Saint Bonnet María Virginia
Published: June 2018

Actualmente, nuevos paradigmas multiculturales nos atraviesan. La institución educativa no está exenta de ello, se ve interpelada por entrecruzamientos culturales, sociales, ideológicos, lingüísticos, en los cuales los sujetos y sus prácticas se ven inmersos en relaciones de intercambio que no mantienen definidas sus fronteras. Se desdibujan los límites que otrora fueran taxativos, para dar lugar a zonas más permeables de confluencia y asimilación del saber y el hacer. Esta convivencia no es siempre pacífica, involucra conflictos y crisis que impulsan a los individuos a luchas por sus derechos, sus roles, su posicionamiento, su identidad. Es así como abordaremos el concepto de "frontera" -desde los enfoques de Iuri Lotman (1996, 1998, 2000, 2011) y Alejandro Grimson(2003) ya que se constituye en una interesante categoría teórica para el acceso a variables coyunturales del siglo XXI y su comprensión en la educación-. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar los conceptos de frontera y poliglotismo cultural en la película colombiana del director Carlos César Arbeláez, Los colores de la montaña, cuyo argumento se desarrolla en un espacio escolar, a fin de hacer una extensión de la problemática "fronteriza" allí representada, a los diferentes niveles educativos, ya que hay elementos comunes al sistema que pueden trazar analogías interesantes y habilitar a la reflexión de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿Cómo operan las "fronteras" en los diferentes espacios, incluido el educativo? ¿Con qué elementos cuenta el docente para interpretar los códigos multiculturales actuantes hoy?

El artículo da cuenta de una investigación que tuvo como objetivos elaborar un inventario del diseño instruccional en cursos de formación, establecer el nivel de confiabilidad del inventario del diseño instruccional en cursos de formación, y determinar las evidencias de validez, basadas en el contenido y la estructura interna, que respaldan el uso del inventario del diseño instruccional en cursos de formación. A partir de estos objetivos se efectuó un estudio instrumental con la aplicación del inventario a una muestra de 150 estudiantes de cursos de formación. Los resultados proporcionan información para realizar los análisis correspondientes y posteriormente confirmar que el inventario del diseño instruccional en cursos de formación es un instrumento apropiado para medir el diseño instruccional.
Frontera, portuñol y aprendizajes en Lectura y Matemática: un modelo fundado en Basil Bernstein
Authors: Fernández Aguerre Tabaré , González Bruzzese Mahira , Rodríguez Ingold Cecilia
Published: June 2018

Algunos trabajos recientes muestran una significativa desigualdad en el aprendizaje a los 15 años de aquellos jóvenes autodeclarados como hablantes de portuñol. Más allá de este hallazgo empírico sobre una correlación, entendemos que es necesario avanzar en una explicación teóricamente sustentada sobre cuál es el mecanismo por el que se verifica esta transformación de una diferencia lingüística en una desigualdad social en el contexto escolar. Este trabajo propone un modelo teórico para conectar la particularidad lingüística de la región noreste del Uruguay con la desigualdad de aprendizajes a lo largo de los niveles básico y medio. Con este fin, ensayamos una explicación mecanísmica que extiende la teoría estructuralista de Basil Bernstein sobre la organización de las escuelas, del curriculum y de las prácticas de aula fundada en los conceptos de clasificación y de enmarcamiento.
Educar en ciencia y tecnología en sociedad. Las ventajas de utilizar temáticas científicas en discusión
Authors: Miguel Hernán
Published: June 2018

La educación en ciencias naturales debe poder contribuir a una plataforma de decisión para los futuros ciudadanos. Cabe preguntarse de qué modo generar una formación integral que tenga en cuenta la comprensión de los fenómenos del entorno y también los diferentes modos de intervención que la tecnología de cada época nos permite imaginar, incluyendo una evaluación de sus pros y contras. Para lograr que estos saberes den lugar a habilidades en los estudiantes, parece indispensable abordar problemas complejos para los cuales no hay una solución única ni óptima sino varios cursos de acción hacia escenarios diferentes en los que las valoraciones y preferencias pueden jugar un rol importante. En este trabajo mostramos de qué modo el problema del aumento del efecto invernadero provee la riqueza suficiente como para permitir ese abanico de diversos cursos de acción e impide la ilusión de una solución única al problema.

Published: June 2018

La presente investigación aborda la problemática de la formación del docente universitario, pedagógica y disciplinar-específica, en el ciclo de nivelación (CN) de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba  y la relación, tensión y/subsunción entre saberes pedagógicos, didácticos y disciplinar-específicos. Interrogarse e interrogar a docentes universitarios acerca de qué conocimientos pedagógicos y disciplinar-específicos se ponen en juego al construir su propuesta de docencia universitaria, desde qué formaciones y biografías, es el punto nodal de la indagación. Se trabaja desde una perspectiva cualitativa a través de cuestionarios abiertos realizados a una muestra intencional de docentes del CN, la construcción de categorías y su consecuente interpretación. Conforme se trata de una elaboración en proceso, no se cierra, sino más bien, se informa parcialmente y se plantean reflexiones en torno a lo elaborado.
An Adaptive Approach to Identify Genre in Music Videos Using Word2Vec Model
Authors: Florence S.Metilda , Mohan S.
Published: June 2018

The vector representations of words presented by Word2Vec model have been shown to be very useful in many application developments due to the semantic information they convey. This paper proposes a similar form, the MusicGenre2Vec. MusicGenre2Vec represents the numerical genre features of music segments inside the vector with the intention to describe the phonetic systems of the tune segments in an excellent way. We are hoping the vector representations obtained in this way can describe more precisely the phonetic structures of the Music indicators, so the Music segments that sound alike would have vector representations close by within the space.  This form of depiction is called MusicGenre2Vec in this paper. The proposed system gives 80% of accuracy in finding the Genre of a video song.
Detection and Isolation Technique for Blackhole Attack in Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Thakur Mandeep , Gill Amninder Kaur
Published: June 2018

A wireless sensor network comprises of countless spread over a particular territory where we need to take care of at the progressions going ahead there. A sensor hub, for the most part, comprises of sensors, actuators, memory, a processor and they do have correspondence capacity. These sorts of networks are much powerless against security attacks. Many kinds of active and passive attacks are conceivable in the sensor network. Among all the conceivable active attacks, sinkhole attack is the most widely recognized and destructive attack. This attack debases network execution and prompts denial of service attack. The attack is triggered by the malicious hub which is available in the network. In this work, a novel strategy has been proposed to recognize and disengage malicious nodes from the network which are in charge of triggering the attack. The novel procedure is based on blacklist technique and clustering technique. The exploratory results will demonstrate that proposed strategy detects and separate the malicious nodes from the network proficiently. It will enhance network effectiveness as far as bundle misfortune, defer and expand throughput of the network. NS2 simulator instrument will be utilized as a part of it.
Application of Interrupted Time Series Modelling to Prime Motor Spirit Distribution in Nigeria
Authors: Etuk Ette Harrison , Moffat Imo Udo , Agbam Azubuike Samuel
Published: June 2018

An inspection of the time-plot of monthly Prime Motor Spirit (PMS) distribution in Nigeria from 2009 to 2015 reveals an abrupt jump in January 2013 with the series continuing at that level till 2015. Clearly the trend of the series was interrupted in January 2013 and it is believed that this perturbation was due to the deregulation of the downstream sector of the crude oil industry.  A t-test comparison of the pre- and the post-intervention means is highly significant (p < 0.0001) indicating the impact of the intervention. A model of the ARIMA family was to be fitted to the pre-intervention data which were observed to have a downward trend and be non-stationary. Differencing once rendered it stationary. An adequate ARIMA(2,1,0) model was fitted to the original pre-intervention series. Post-intervention forecasts were obtained on the basis of this model. These forecasts were subtracted from their respective post-intervention counterpart observations. These differences were modelled to obtain the transfer function of the intervention. The resultant intervention model closely fits the post-intervention data and may be used to explain and control the situation.
