Уголовно-процессуальный кодекс Российской Федерации: оценка
эффективности и меры по его совершенствованию
Authors: Гаврилов Борис
Published: December 2021

Введение: статья посвящена анализу положений Уголовно-процессуального кодекса Российской Федерации и его влиянию на эффективность реализации государством в лице правоохранительных и судебных органов основных правовых институтов, призванных обеспечить соблюдение прав и законных интересов участников уголовного судопроизводства. Цель: на основе исследования эффективности внесенных в кодекс изменений и статистического анализа результатов расследования
уголовных дел показаны выявленные научным сообществом и правоприменительной практикой недостатки законодательства в данной сфере деятельности и одновременно предложены меры по совершенствованию как отдельных правовых норм УПК РФ, так и ряда его процессуальных институтов по обеспечению конституционных установлений о защите государством прав и свобод человека и гражданина. Методы: исторический, сравнительно-правовой и эмпирические методы описания вопросов качества и законности при расследовании уголовных дел; теоретические
методы формальной и диалектической логики. Применялись частно-научные методы: юридико-технический и метод толкования конкретных правовых норм. Результаты: анализ развития российского и зарубежного уголовно-процессуального законодательства и правоприменительной практики объективно свидетельствует о том, что абсолютное большинство внесенных в кодекс изменений способствовало повышению эффективности деятельности должностных лиц органов предварительного расследования и органов дознания по реализации положений ст. 6, провозглашающей в качестве назначения (задачи) уголовного судопроизводства защиту как прав
и законных интересов пострадавших от преступлений граждан и организаций, так
и личности от незаконного уголовного преследования, осуждения и иных ограничений ее прав и свобод. Совершенствование уголовно-процессуального законодательства направлено также на преодоление заформализованности его отдельных положений и забюрократизированности действий следователя, дознавателя, органов прокуратуры и судейского сообщества при расследовании и судебном разбирательстве уголовных дел. Выводы: для адаптации российского уголовного процесса к современным реалиям (новые виды преступлений и способов их совершения, возросшие требования к обеспечению законности в деятельности органов предварительного расследования, соблюдению ими процессуальных сроков по уголовным делам и повышению качества их расследования и др.) необходима существенная трансформация досудебной стадии производства, заключающаяся в реорганизации процессуальных правил начала производства по уголовному делу, приведении
сроков расследования в соответствие с положениями ст. 61 УПК РФ о разумном сроке уголовного судопроизводства, дальнейшей дифференциации форм расследования и др., что направлено на повышение эффективности борьбы с преступностью и ее наиболее опасными видами.
Опыт разработки и апробации базовой программы для психологической и воспитательной работы с лицами, осужденными за террористические и экстремистские преступления
Authors: Шамсунов Салих , Казберов Павел
Published: December 2021

Введение: стабильное увеличение количества подозреваемых, обвиняемых и осужденных за терроризм и экстремизм, а также случаи их участия в различных чрезвычайных происшествиях обусловливают использование личностного, адресного подхода в коррекционной психологической и воспитательной работе с ними. На необходимость индивидуального подхода указывают и нормативные правовые документы, в частности приказ ФСИН России от 24.11.2017 № 1111 «Об организации мероприятий по противодействию терроризму, экстремистской деятельности в учреждениях и органах уголовно-исполнительной системы». Цель: определение эффективности апробации базовой программы психологической коррекции личности для лиц, осужденных за преступления террористической и экстремистской направленности. Методы: методы психодиагностики, такие как тест Ф. Зимбардо – ZTPI «Временная перспектива осужденных», многомерный опросник исследования самоотношения, психодиагностическая методика «Смысложизненные ориентации»; метод апробации разработанной программы; метод выявления статистических различий – t-критерий Стьюдента; метод сравнительного анализа результатов психодиагностики, полученных по итогам апробации. Результаты: проверка данных на достоверность статистических различий с помощью t-критерия Стьюдента определила отсутствие значимых изменений в показателях осужденных контрольной группы. В показателях осужденных экспериментальной группы наблюдаются значимые изменения по методикам Ф. Зимбардо – ZTPI «Временная перспектива осужденных», многомерный опросник исследования самоотношения и психодиагностическая методика «Смысложизненные ориентации». Сравнительный анализ результатов психодиагностики осужденных экспериментальной группы до и после апробации базовой программы, проверенных на достоверность статистических различий с помощью t-критерия Стьюдента, определил наличие позитивных личностных изменений в поведенческой, когнитивной и аффективной сферах личности осужденных экспериментальной группы. Выводы: анализ результатов апробации базовой программы подтвердил достаточную степень ее эффективности и возможность внедрения. Базовая программа, ее содержание во многом определили структуру и наполнение раздела дополнительной профессиональной программы – программы повышения квалификации для сотрудников психологической службы, осуществляющих сопровождение лиц, осужденных за террористические и экстремистские преступления.
Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation: evaluation of effectiveness and measures for its improvement
Authors: Gavrilov Boris
Published: December 2021

Introduction: the article analyzes provisions of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation and its impact on the implementation of key legal institutions designed to ensure respect for the rights and legitimate interests of criminal proceedings participants by law enforcement and judicial authorities. Purpose: having studied effectiveness of the amendments made in the CPC and conducted statistical analysis of the results of criminal cases investigation, the author presents shortcomings in the legislation identified by the scientific community and law enforcement practice and proposes measures to improve both certain legal norms of the CPC RF and its procedural institutions in order to ensure constitutional provisions on the state protection of human and civil rights and freedoms. Methods: the researcher used historical, comparative legal and empirical methods for describing quality and legality issues in the investigation of criminal cases; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Private scientific and legal technical methods, as well as the method for interpreting specific legal norms were applied. Results: the analysis of development of Russian and foreign criminal procedural legislation and law enforcement practice objectively indicates that the absolute majority of the amendments made to the Code contributed to enhancing performance of pre-trial investigation or initial inquiry bodies in implementing the provisions of Article 6 of the CPC. It stipulates protection of the rights and lawful interests of the persons and organizations, who (which) have suffered from the crimes, as well as their protection from unlawful accusations and conviction, and other restrictions of their rights and freedoms. Betterment of the criminal procedural legislation is also aimed at overcoming formalization of its individual provisions and bureaucratization of actions of the inquirer, investigator, prosecutor’s office and judicial community in the investigation and trial of criminal cases. Conclusions: to adapt the modern Russian criminal process to modern realities (new types of crimes and methods of their commission, increased requirements for ensuring legality in activities of pre-trial investigation bodies, their compliance with procedural deadlines in criminal cases and improving investigation quality) it is necessary to make changes in pre-trial proceedings, in particular, to reorganize procedural rules for commencement of criminal proceedings; bringing investigation terms into line with the provisions of Article 61 of the CPC on a reasonable period of criminal proceedings; differentiating investigation forms, etc. All this is focused on improving effectiveness of the fight against crime and its most dangerous types.

Published: December 2021

Membahas empowerment di Kabupaten Kulon Progo belum ada yang merujuk pada Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi (Disnakertrans) Kulon Progo, khususnya pada satu program yang dilaksanakan. tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui cara pandang empowerment dalam program padat karya di dinas tenaga kerja dan transmigrasi kabupaten Kulon Progo. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif. Sementara hasil temuan dalam penelitian ini bahwa program Padat Karya yang diklaim sebagai bagian empowerment oleh Disnakertrans Kabupaten Purworejo, pada hakikatnya tidak memenuhi konsep empowerment. Hal tersebut dilihat dari beberapa hal, yaitu: 1) ditinjau dari makna empowerment, Padat Karya tidak bisa secara spesifik menyasar penduduk-penduduk lemah tertentu. Sasarannya adalah petani yang sedang tidak bertani. Hal ini menurut penulis bukan bentuk kelemahan; 2) program ini hanya memiliki dua dari ketiga prinsip empowerment, yakni prinsip mengerjakan dan akibat; 3) orientasi perkembangan dari Padat Karya merujuk pada peningkatan ekonomi saja, bukan pada keberlanjutan program tersebut melalui berdayanya masyarakat petani; 4) konsep keberlangsungan pada empowerment tidak bisa penulis lihat, program hanya akan berjalan apabila kesempatan untuk melakukan usulan dilakukan, sehingga masyarakat tidak mandiri, kreatif, ataupun inovatif.

Authors:   State Enterprise «Ukrainian Railway Car Building Research Institute», Semko Zhanna
Published: December 2021

One of the distinctive features of today is the presence in our life of substances, by-products that pose a hazard to human health, a threat to the environment, but without which the production process of other goods is impossible and we cannot imagine our existence, that is, electrical energy generation by the use of nuclear fuel, mineral fertilizers, various kinds of substances in the chemical industry from conditionally hazardous to very hazardous. All of these substances need to be transported from production site to the place of use. Therefore, the question arises, i.e., if these dangerous substances are necessary for production of other very necessary and useful goods, how to protect those people who can suffer during their manufacture, transportation and use. It turns out that the answer is almost on the surface. Generating of hazardous substance primarily raises the need to develop measures for protection against their impact, or at least minimize it. This paper analyses the issues of prevention and minimization of the dangerous substances effect on the people, environment while transporting by analyzing classes, sub-classes, categories of dangerous substances categories. The classification of dangerous substances, labels designs, guidance on their application and use are given. Rules and obligations of dangerous cargoes transportation entities are specified. Key words: hazardous substances, classification of hazardous substances, hazard warning signs, methods and means of application, marking rules.
Care Work and Academic Motherhood: Challenges for Research and Tenure in the Canadian University
Authors: James Yvonne , Bourgeault Ivy , Gaudet Stephanie , Bujaki Merridee
Published: December 2021

In Canada, women are earning an increasing number of doctoral degrees; yet, they are less likely to secure a tenure-track position. A feminist thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 20 academic mothers from two Canadian universities reveals the range of challenges that mothers encounter in relation to care on the tenure-track. First, the theme of “fear of post-partum academic erasure” captured faculty mothers’ experiences of feeling compelled to assert their physical and intellectual presence in post-partum during peak periods of infant care. The second theme, “the mommy tenure track and care choices,” encapsulated academic mothers’ experiences of feeling unsupported by the university in their pursuit of promotion and tenure given care responsibilities associated with motherhood. The final theme, “research while caring,” captured the tensions academic mothers experience between the research process and caring. The findings of this research are particularly relevant in a pandemic and post-pandemic environment, where academic mothers have seen their care work swell to unprecedented proportions.
Experiences matter: Educators’ attitudes toward disability in higher education
Authors: Freer John , Kaefer Tanya
Published: December 2021

This study investigated 128 post-secondary educators’ attitudes toward disability at a college and a university in southwestern Ontario, Canada. The participants completed the Educators’ Attitudes toward Disability Scale (EADS) and a demographic questionnaire that included questions about their experiences with disability. There were three research questions at the heart of this study: (1) What are post-secondary educators’ overall attitudes toward disability? (2) Do demographic factors predict post-secondary educators’ attitudes toward disability? (3) Does exposure to people with disability predict post-secondary educators’ attitudes toward disability? The findings of this study suggest post-secondary educators hold overallpositive attitudes toward disability and there were very few differences observed between groups (e.g., based on age, gender, discipline, etc.). Educators’ experiences with people who have a disability, however, were positively associated with their attitudes. This factor included personal experiences (e.g., friends, family, etc.), but also professional experiences (e.g., students in their classes).

Effectiveness of Kangaroo Mother Care in Intubated Preterm Neonates 28 to 36 Weeks Gestational Age, Weighing 600 to 2000 Grams at Birth: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Baton Shary May M. , Villanueva-Uy Maria Esterlita T. , De Leon-Mendoza Socorro
Published: December 2021

Background. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is the standard of care for stable low birth weight infants. Provision of KMC to intubated preterm infants may also be beneficial, but strong evidence is still lacking.

Objective. To determine the effectiveness of KMC in decreasing mortality among intubated preterm neonates.

Study Design. This is a non-blinded, parallel, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.

Methodology. All intubated, preterm admissions, 28-36 weeks gestation, weighing 600-2000 grams, with respiratory distress were included. They were randomized to the intervention group who received KMC for 2-4 hours daily while intubated and the control group who received care inside an incubator. Participants’ physiologic status – before, during, and after the intervention – was recorded. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included comorbidities, days intubated, and hospital stay.

Results. There was a total of 32 patients. The risk of dying in the KMC group (n=16) was significantly reduced by 78% (RR 0.22; 95% CI 0.06 - 0.87 p=0.009). The KMC patients were also less likely to have hypothermia, nosocomial pneumonia, NEC, and late-onset neonatal sepsis (p<0.05). The KMC group had higher blood sugar levels (110 vs. 58, p=0.001) and required fewer days of intubation (3.5 vs.1.5 days, p<0.000) compared to the control group. There was no difference in the duration of the hospital stay.

Conclusion. KMC is effective in decreasing mortality among intubated preterm neonates. Other comorbidities and days of intubation were also reduced.
Kangaroo Mother Care versus Incubator in Transporting Stable Preterm Neonates: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Ignacio Renelyn P. , Villanueva-Uy Maria Esterlita T.
Published: December 2021

Background. Transporting preterm neonates soon after birth entails risks. Only one study among many about the beneficial effects of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) had cited it as a safe and effective alternative to transport incubators.

Objective. To determine if KMC transport could be an alternative to transport incubators by comparing the physiological outcomes of the two transport methods.

Methods. This is a parallel non-blinded randomized-controlled trial funded by KMC Foundation, Philippines, Inc, of physiologically stable preterm neonates weighing ≤ 2200 grams delivered at a tertiary government hospital from September 10, 2011, to April 18, 2012. After obtaining written consent from their mothers, participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention groups were transported from the delivery room to the NICU while on skin-to-skin contact with the caregiver. In contrast, those in the control group were placed in a transport incubator. Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and blood glucose were measured before transport and upon NICU arrival. Adverse effects were monitored. Data were recorded using a standard database.

Results. Ninety-two participants were recruited, forty-six in each arm. Two dropped out. The mean change in heart rate in the KMC transport decreased by 1.6 beats per minute; respiratory rate decreased by 0.18 breaths per minute, the temperature increased by 0.01°C, oxygen saturation decreased by 0.07%, blood glucose decreased by 5.07 mg/dL. The measured physiological parameters were not statistically significant between the two groups. In the KMC transport, there was a decreasing trend in the incidence of hypothermia, hypoglycemia, tachypnea, and tachycardia.

Conclusion. There are no significant differences in the heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and blood glucose levels among preterm neonates on KMC transport compared with preterm neonates on transport incubators, which is the current standard of care. The study showed that KMC transport is equally effective as a transport incubator. Hence, in low-resource settings, KMC transport may be used as a safe and effective neonatal transport.
Effects of Intermittent Kangaroo Mother Care on Low-Birth-Weight Neonates: A Retrospective Before-and-After Study
Authors: Notarte-Palisbo Jannie Lyne C. , Canceko-Llego Cindy D.
Published: December 2021

Objective. To compare outcomes of low-birth-weight neonates delivered before and after implementation of intermittent kangaroo mother care (KMC) in terms of duration of hospital stay, mortality rate, and clinical outcome.

Methods. This is a retrospective analytical study that included all neonates delivered in a tertiary government hospital with birth weight of less than 2000 grams before and after intermittent KMC implementation from January 2015 to December 2016. Chart review was done for demographics, mortality profile, and length of hospital stay. Chi-square test and Student’s t-test were used to compare mortality rate and length of hospital stay, and odds ratio was used for mortality outcome.

Results. A total of 677 low birth weight newborns were reviewed and of these, 276 (79.8%) neonates in group 1 (Pre-intermittent KMC implementation), and 263 (79.4%) neonates in group 2 (Post-intermittent KMC implementation) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The duration of hospital stay of neonates enrolled in KMC was significantly shorter (p ≤ 0.05). In Groups 1 and 2, 93–94% of neonates were discharged improved with a 5–6% mortality of almost equal distribution. There was no significant difference in mortality between groups 1 and 2 (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.59, 2.42).

Conclusion. There was no significant difference in mortality rate and cause of death pre- and post-intermittent KMC implementation. However, the length of hospital stay among the LBW neonates discharged improved was significantly shortened.
Effectiveness of Kangaroo Mother Care in Reducing Morbidity and Mortality among Preterm Neonates on Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Ricero-Luistro Catherine P. , Villanueva-Uy Maria Esterlita T. , Libadia Aurora Gloria I. , De Leon-Mendoza Socorro
Published: December 2021

Background. Prematurity is a major cause of neonatal death. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the recognized initial intervention among preterm neonates in respiratory distress. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) may help improve neonatal outcomes.

Objective. To determine the effectiveness of KMC in reducing morbidity and mortality among preterm neonates on CPAP via RAM nasal cannula (nCPAP).

Methods. A prospective, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted on eligible preterm neonates requiring nCPAP due to respiratory distress. They were randomly allocated to either KMC (n=35) or conventional care groups (n=35). Outcome measures included duration of nCPAP and oxygen support, physiologic parameters, morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay.

Results. The durations of nCPAP and oxygen support were both significantly shorter in the KMC group. Morbidities (air leak syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, and late-onset sepsis) were also significantly lower in the KMC group. Although the mortality rate and the hospital stay were lower in the KMC group, these were not statistically significant.

Conclusion. KMC effectively decreased the duration of nCPAP and oxygen support, as well as the incidence of neonatal morbidities. There were trends towards reduced mortality and length of hospital stay in the neonates who received KMC.
Sınıf Öğretmenliği Programı Müzik Dersi İçeriklerinin İlkokul Müzik Dersi Kazanımları İle Karşılaştırılması
Authors: ŞAKTANLI Cem
Published: December 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de sınıf öğretmeni yetiştirme sürecinde geliştirilen/değiştirilen programlar kapsamında müzik derslerinin yeri, kredi, saat ve ders sayısı bakımından incelemektir. Araştırma betimsel nitelikte olup, veriler doküman analizi yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Doküman analizi sürecinde farklı yıllarda yürürlüğe giren Sınıf Öğretmenliği programlarında yer alan “müzik öğretimi” dersi ile ilkokul müzik dersi içerik ve kazanımları karşılaştırılarak ele alınmıştır. Sınıf öğretmenliği programına yönelik incelemede, 1998, 2007, 2018 programlarındaki ders tanımlarında meydana gelen değişiklikler tespit edilmiş ve 2018 programında sadece “müzik öğretimi” dersinin 2007 programındaki aynı tanım ile yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada, İlkokul müzik dersi, kazanımları ve içerikleri bakımından “müzik öğretimi” dersi içeriğiyle karşılaştırılmış ve büyük oranda örtüştüğü görülmüştür. Ayrıca MEB ÖYGM tarafından hazırlanan öğretmen yeterlikleri içerisinde sınıf öğretmenliği alanına ilişkin müzik alanı incelenmiş ve bu yeterlikler kapsamında değerlendirildiğinde “müzik öğretimi” dersi ile örtüştüğü ortaya konmuştur. Tüm programlar ve yeterlikler büyük oranda örtüşmekle birlikte sınıf öğretmenliği programında yer alan müzik öğretimi dersini alacak öğrencilerin hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerine bakılmadan bir dersin öğretimi dersini almalarının kredi ve saat bakımından uygulamada aksaklıklara neden olabileceği söylenebilir. Ayrıca ilkokul 1,2,3,4. sınıflardaki kazanımların gerçekleştirilmesi bakımından da aksaklıklar yaşanabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bütün bu değerlendirmeler sonucunda sınıf öğretmenliği programlarında müzik ders sayılarının, kredi ve saatlerinin artırılması, sınıf öğretmenliği programlarındaki öğrencilerinin yetenek ve hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerine göre seçmeli derslerle desteklenmeleri gerektiği, bu düzenlemeler yapılıncaya kadar ilkokul 1,2,3,4. sınıf müzik derslerine müzik branş öğretmenlerinin girmesi önerilmiştir.

Se incluyeron 19 ensayos clínicos y 2 metaanálisis: 4 de tratamientos tópicos, 6 sobre ácido tranexámico, 4 de exfoliaciones, 6 de tratamiento con láseres y 1 sobre fotoprotección. Conclusiones. La hidroquinona sigue siendo el gold standard para el tratamiento del melasma. En los últimos años se ha evidenciado la efectividad del ácido tranexámico como opción terapéutica. La fotoprotección es fundamental en el control de esta patología. El empleo de peelings superficiales y dispositivos láser debe valorarse cuidadosamente."
“Un viajero imaginario”. Botánica y zoología en Conferencias científicas a los niños de Julio Sixto Hernández (México, 1899)
Authors: Vega y Ortega Baez Rodrigo Antonio
Published: December 2021

El objetivo del artículo es abordar los temas y las estrategias vulgarizadoras de la ciencia que el profesor mexicano Julio S. Hernández plasmó en las conferencias científicas a los niños como parte de su interés por fomentar la lectura infantil. La relevancia se encuentra tanto en la escasa investigación histórica sobre la obra del profesor Hernández como los estudios sobre la vulgarización científica dirigida a los niños durante el siglo XIX mexicano. La metodología se basa en la presentación de las conferencias desde la historia social de la ciencia, al ubicarlas como parte de la cultura científica mexicana orientada a vulgarizar conocimientos especializados a finales del Porfiriato. Este es un tema con escasos estudios a pesar de la amplia cantidad de libros, revistas, folletos, entre otras fuentes; y en la obra de Hernández, sobre todo los libros, es notorio que la vulgarización de la ciencia fue parte de su proyecto intelectual en cuanto a educar a los niños dentro y fuera del aula, así como generar materiales pedagógicos destinados a los padres y profesores para que educaran a los infantes en el hogar.

En este trabajo abordamos distintas vías de aproximación a las identidades corporales femeninas y a su agencia, desde una perspectiva transversal, tomando como referencia algunos casos de estudio procedentes de contextos seleccionados de la prehistoria y protohistoria de la península ibérica, así como del Mediterráneo Antiguo. Tres ejes principales ordenarán este acercamiento: en primer lugar, una reflexión sobre los estereotipos de las imágenes de la prehistoria, que han generado modelos comprensivos sobre el pasado que están profundamente distorsionados; en segundo lugar, el estudio de las identidades corporales, a través del análisis de los cuerpos depositados y representados en distintos casos seleccionados y, por último, una mirada desde la bioarqueología sobre el rol, los cuidados  y las transformaciones de los cuerpos femeninos contextualizados en su propio ciclo vital. Esta reflexión colectiva nos permite ofrecer una puesta al día aproximativa a las líneas de investigación que, desde el grupo Pastwomen, desarrollamos en relación con el estudio de las corporalidades en el pasado, como base analítica fundamental para profundizar en los comportamientos sociales y en la construcción de las identidades colectivas. Pero, también, para la generación de nuevas narrativas y de un imaginario del pasado, colectivo e inclusivo, basado en la investigación rigurosa.

This study investigated various determinants of the differential level of skill as perceivedby farm youth engaged in agripreneurship. The existing agripreneurial skill levels weredelineated by developing a composite index constituting of 5 skill dimensions. Purposivesampling was adopted to select the rural youth belonging to farming background andinvolved in agripreneurship for higher income in five districts of Odisha representing fivedifferent agro-climatic zones. A total of 250 farm youth was sampled from the selected 10blocks. The findings of the study revealed that, annual income from primary occupation,agripreneurial training, social media exposure and agripreneurship experience havesignificantly affected the existing level of skill possessed by farm youth with regard toagripreneurship. The findings affirm the need for extension personnel to understand theexisting skill level, capacities, abilities of farm youth along with the factors determiningthem in order to create awareness and build capacities required for agripreneurship.
Need Based Information Media for Farmers in Hill Regions of Uttarakhand: Implications for Extension
Authors: Joshi Kushagra
Published: December 2021

Farmers use different information sources and channels for seeking reliable, timely andrelevant information on improved agricultural practices. Developing appropriate farmereducational and marketing strategies will depend on how farmer groups differ in theirinformation search behavior. Understanding what information farmers need, how they searchfor their information, which sources they depend on for accessing information can help indesigning effective extension programs. The study examined farmer’s communicationcharacteristics with an intent to assess farmer’s accessibility and use of extension mediaand information sources for fulfilling their information needs pertaining to agricultural andallied activities in three hill districts of Uttarakhand state. A sample of 1318 farmers wasselected through a stratified random sampling technique. Interpersonal communicationsources were used more by farmers as these were more easily available and accessible toobtain information related to agriculture. Majority of farmers were categorised as lowsearchers. Gender, primary occupation, land size and education significantly affected searchbehaviour of farmers. Implications for policy and extension have been given for improvinginformation dissemination among farmers of hill regions. Emphasis on extension systemproviding a context for the flow of authentic knowledge through authentic media amongfarming communities on an equal basis is emphasized.

Published: December 2021

Este artículo describe la restauración de las estructuras de adobe descubiertas en el sitio de Salūt, en el centro de Omán, que datan de la Edad del Hierro (c. 1300-300 a. C.). En esta región, la arquitectura tradicional de tierra ha representado la técnica de construcción clave hasta tiempos modernos. El concepto tradicional de mantenimiento continuo es la única forma de preservar eficazmente las estructuras antiguas. Por otra parte, se experimentó con revocos de barro de diversa composición que pudieran conferir un mejor aspecto y una menor carga estática en las estructuras. La estrategia de trabajo pretendía ser sostenible y se fijaba como objetivo documentar y tratar de revivir la arquitectura tradicional de tierra, actualmente en peligro por el desinterés de las generaciones más jóvenes.
Encruzilhadas no ensino de sociologia da educação: análise de currículos de licenciaturas e mestrados em Portugal
Authors: Alves Mariana Gaio , Diogo Ana Matias
Published: December 2021

As origens da sociologia daducação enquanto área de saber nos planos curriculares do ensino superior é, em vários países, indissociável do surgimento, da organização e da evolução de cursos de formação de professores do ensino não superior. Não obstante, progressivamente a sociologia da educação passou a integrar também os planos de estudos de cursos na área da própria sociologia, bem como na área de educação (a qual engloba formações que não se vocacionam especificamente para habilitar os respectivos estudantes para a docência). Reconhecendo este contexto genérico, neste artigo, examina-se a presença da sociologia da educação em licenciaturas e mestrados do ensino superior português com base na análise de dados sobre cursos, planos de estudos e unidades curriculares que estavam em funcionamento no ano letivo de 2018-2019. Os resultados evidenciam que a sociologia da educação está mais presente nas universidades do que nos institutos politécnicos e mais em cursos de formação inicial do que em pós-graduações. Conclui-se que o ensino de sociologia da educação parece encontrar-se, na atualidade, na encruzilhada de três espaços institucionais distintos (formação de professores, sociologia, educação), com repercussões nas finalidades e práticas educativas com que a disciplina é ensinada em cada um destes espaços.
