The main purpose of this study was to explore how engaging in lesson study improves secondary mathematics teachers’ effective lesson implementation to support students’ learning better. The research was conducted in Jimma City, Ethiopia, and employed design-based research with qualitative data collected from two secondary schools and 12 mathematics teachers. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants. Interviews, observations, and document analysis were the main sources of data. The data were analyzed thematically supported by Atlas-ti qualitative data analysis software. Findings indicated that engaging in lesson study improved mathematics teachers’ effective lesson implementation. LS improved participants’ practice of lesson presentation, use of diverse student-centered teaching methods, assessment, behavior management, instructional aids, time management, and feedback strategies. School leaders’ positive attitudes and teachers’ commitment were found to be supportive, while shortage of time and teachers’ high teaching load were constraints. It would be vital to integrate lesson study into teachers’ school-based professional development programs to improve mathematics teachers’ effective lesson implementation in the study setting. The study suggests further investigation in more secondary schools by incorporating quantitative evidence with larger a sample size.
O ALGORITMO, A MÍDIA DIGITAL E AS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS: NOVAS DINÂMICAS PARA VELHOS PROBLEMAS
Authors: Nunes Rodolfo Francisco Soares , Lima Valeria Ferreira Santos de Almada
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o algoritmo como ferramenta utilizada para manifestação do poder nas mídias digitais e sua influência no processo de constituição de políticas públicas e programas sociais. Utilizando o materialismo histórico-dialético, parte-se das mídias enquanto sujeitos das políticas públicas e como espaço de disputa dos meios analógicos e tradicionais da comunicação de massas. Isso posto, analisa-se a incidência das mídias digitais nas políticas públicas através do uso de algoritmos para alteração da opinião pública. Através da análise do processo de obtenção de dados mediante o uso de redes sociais e a dominação das informações por grandes oligopólios, a informação torna-se uma mercadoria com valor agregado que se insere na produção e circulação de novas mercadorias. Desta forma, aponta-se que apesar de limitada pela própria dinâmica do processo das políticas públicas, a utilização de algoritmos fornece uma vantagem às mídias digitais frente a outros meios de comunicação, embora ainda dependam do jogo de interesses capitalistas para que possam ser utilizadas como instrumento direcionado a alterar a opinião pública.
CAMINHOS PARA CIDADES QUE TÊM TURISMO RELIGIOSO COMO BASE DA ECONOMIA
Authors: Oliveira Paulo Roberto Lucas de , Telles Renato , Oliveira Wellington Dias de
Published: December 2024

A crise sanitária e econômica causada pela pandemia da Covid-19 afetou fortemente as cidades que têm eventos de caráter religioso e que têm no turismo religioso sua grande fonte de receita. O patrimônio cultural de cidades e regiões cuja economia é baseada na fé é enorme e deve ser preservado devido a seus aspectos antropológicos, sociais e econômicos. O turismo religioso cria espaços de reafirmação, fortalecimento e consolidação de uma fé ou tradição religiosa. A governança exige uma implementação eficaz e acompanhamento dos meios para criar coerência entre as atividades do governo e dos participantes do setor privado e é crucial para qualquer sociedade que deseja promover seu desenvolvimento econômico e o bem-estar de sua comunidade. A proposição de retomada para as cidades está baseada na Teoria das Capacidades Dinâmicas, que trata da habilidade de se integrar, construir e reconfigurar competências internas e externas em ambiente de rápidas mudanças. As capacidades dinâmicas são sustentadas por decisões organizacionais que promovem a criação, extensão e reconfiguração de competências principais, integrando comportamentos, rotinas e mecanismos de aprendizado organizacional.

Published: December 2024

As discussões em torno da temática da inclusão de pessoas com deficiência na educação brasileira vêm, há décadas, mobilizando pesquisadores acerca das efetivações das políticas educacionais. A partir disto, realizou-se uma análise sobre a inclusão escolar dos alunos público-alvo da educação especial e as garantias expressas na Lei nº 13.146 de 2015 que estabelece o Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência. Por meio de uma busca em bibliografias, tais quais livros e artigos científicos levantou-se trabalhos relacionados à temática tratada com subsídio, também, de documentos legais e normativas referentes ao direito à educação de alunos público-alvo da educação especial. Os resultados sinalizam para uma máxima presente em estudos da educação brasileira. É a ideia de que, mesmo havendo uma vasta legislação, os direitos desse alunado à educação escolar tem se mostrado carente. Há uma grande necessidade de melhoria nas escolas públicas do Brasil para que o texto legal se transforme em realidade social, com isso, se espera atuar com vistas ao enfrentamento dessas lacunas.

Gauss--Berezin integral operators, spinors over orthosymplectic supergroups, and Lagrangian super-Grassmannians
Authors: Неретин Юрий
Published: December 2024

We obtain explicit formulas for the spinor representation $\rho$ of the real orthosymplectic supergroup $\OSp(2p|2q,\R)$ by integral 'Gauss--Berezin' operators. Next, we extend $\rho$ to a complex domain and get a representation of a larger semigroup, which is a counterpart of Olshanski subsemigroups in semisimple Lie groups. Further, we show that $\rho$ can be extended to an operator-valued function on a certain domain in the Lagrangian super-Grassmannian (graphs of elements of the supergroup $\OSp(2p|2q,\C)$ are Lagrangian super-subspaces) and show that this function is a 'representation' in the following sense: we consider Lagrangian subspaces as linear relations and composition of two Lagrangian relations in general position corresponds to a product of Gauss--Berezin operators
About the peculiarities of legal norms
Authors: Ivanov Roman
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Legal norms are the oldest and most in-demand means of normative legal regulation, and therefore they are always in the center of attention of theoretical and applied jurisprudence. However, their scientific concept continues to provoke discussions on almost all its aspects. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to clarify the features of legal norms and their specific features. Methodology. The methodological basis of the research consists of the principles and categories of materialistic dialectics, systematic, formal-logical, formal-legal and comparative-legal methods. Results. The conducted research has shown that the specific features of the norms of law may vary depending on the characteristics of the object with which the norms relate. Therefore, there is no universal system for them. Conclusion. The specifics of legal norms are determined by the nature of the regulators of human behavior compared with them, related to them genetically, historically and (or) functionally.

Published: December 2024

Improper disposal of unused and expired medicines poses a significant risk to public health and
the environment. While medication return programs have been established in various countries to
mitigate this issue, data on their utilisation remain limited. The study aims to identify the disposal
practices of unused and expired medicines; evaluate the public's awareness and utilisation of the
"Return Your Medicines" (RYM) program; and investigate factors related to disposal practices,
awareness, and RYM usage. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted in Terengganu,
Malaysia, involving 290 adults recruited through convenience sampling. Data were analysed using
SPSS, employing both descriptive and inferential analyses, including the chi-square test. The
findings show that nearly 90% of participants improperly dispose of unused and expired medicines
by discarding them in household trash and giving them to friends and relatives. Out of 290
participants, only 33.4% were aware of the RYM program, and only 23.7% had used it. There is a
notable prevalence of improper medicine disposal practices, as well as a limited level of public
awareness about the RYM program. These findings highlight the crucial role of healthcare
practitioners, especially pharmacists, in continuously educating the public on safe disposal
practices. Furthermore, the development and implementation of innovative strategies are
imperative to increase public engagement with the RYM program and promote safer disposal
methods.

Published: December 2024

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is one of the concerning worldwide non-communicable diseases commonly
affecting people ages 40 years old and above. Recent data shows that prevalence of T2DM in adolescent and young adults is increasing. This study aimed to assess the DM-related knowledge among
undergraduates, to determine the relationship of sociodemographic factors and DM-related knowledge
with DM risk score, and to assess the predictors of DM risk score. A cross-sectional survey was
conducted among undergraduates at a public university in Selangor, Malaysia. The questionnaire was
divided into two main sections, with section one focusing on demographic data and DM risk assessment
using Modified Asian Finnish Diabetes Risk (ModAsian FIDSRISC) Score, and section two focusing
on DM-related knowledge. Using convenient sampling method, undergraduates who are ≥ 18 years old
and currently pursuing bachelor’s degree of study were included in the study. Undergraduates who were unable to give consent, has been diagnosed with diabetes and pursuing study other than bachelor’s
degree were excluded. Pearson-Chi Square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used with
significant study of p<0.005. A total of 462 students from various faculties contributed to the study. The mean score of DM-related knowledge obtained from the students was 10.99 ± 4.992 with the majority level of knowledge were found to be moderate (53.2%). Most of students had low risk of DM (61.3%) and only 0.2% had high risk of DM. There were significant relationships between the risk of DM with having relative(s) with DM (p < 0.001, OR = 0.065) and DM-related knowledge (p = 0.029, OR =
1.074). This study showed that students with higher DM risk was associated with good DM-related
knowledge, which might contribute to delay prevention and treatment. These results highlight the
importance of targeted educational intervention within university curricula to increase the awareness regarding DM among young adults, the future generation of our country.

Published: December 2024

Despite advancements in medical science, the global burden of inflammation-related diseases
remains high, necessitating the exploration of novel and effective remedies that can offer relief
without significant side effects. The indigenous peoples of Papua and Borneo use the decoction of
Myrmecodia platytyrea tubers, the ant plant, for its medical benefits, particularly in cancer therapy, demonstrating the deep traditional knowledge of natural treatments. The Rubiaceae plant has been used in traditional medicine to alleviate inflammation and other conditions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the toxicological profile of the aqueous extract of M. platytyrea tubers (MPAE). The study conducted adhered to recognised protocols for assessing oral acute and subacute toxicity, with necessary modifications to meet the specific experimental needs. In the acute toxicity study, male and female mice received a single oral dose of MPAE at 2000 mg/kg and monitored for 14 days. In
the subacute toxicity study, male and female mice received 500 mg/kg/day MPAE orally for 28 days.
Physical and behavioural changes were observed. Haematological parameters and biochemical
parameters were analysed, including histology of the liver and kidneys. Acute and subacute toxicity
studies found no clinical signs of toxicity, mortality, or weight changes. The subacute toxicity study found no significant changes in haematological parameters or biochemical parameters for both sexes. Acute and subacute toxicity tests revealed no treatment-related necropsy, gross, or histopathological abnormalities. In conclusion, MPAE is safe to consume and supports further development of M. platytyrea for treating inflammation-related diseases, particularly cancer.

Questionnaires are often used to evaluate the understanding of immunosuppressive therapy (IST)
among kidney transplant recipients (KTR). This study investigated the psychometric properties of these questionnaires and their level of recommendation for use. Relevant articles were searched from
PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus utilising the PRISMA
Extension for Scoping Review protocol. Peer-reviewed and English-language articles that reported on
the psychometric properties of questionnaires evaluating IST knowledge among KTR were considered
relevant. The Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments
(COSMIN) guidelines and the TERWEE tool were used to evaluate psychometrics for methodological
quality, criteria for good measurement, level of evidence (LoE), and applicability. Of the 88 potential articles, 10 were deemed relevant. The articles comprised cross-sectional studies (n=7), tool validation studies (n=2), and studies that combined both methods (n=1). Content validity was described in 8 articles and presented as ‘doubtful’ in all of them; internal consistency in 8 articles and rated ‘very good’ (n=6) and ‘doubtful’ (n=2); structural validity in 2 and both were rated ‘adequate’; reliability in 4 and rated ‘very good’ (n=2) and ‘doubtful (n=2), hypothesis testing in 3 with ‘very good (n=2) and ‘adequate’ (n=1) ratings; and responsiveness in one article rated as ‘adequate. The criteria for most properties were classified between 'indeterminate' and ‘adequate’; with a ‘moderate LoE.’ All questionnaires received grade B recommendations. Existing questionnaires lack validity and reliability, necessitating future research to develop questionnaires with appropriate constructs to accurately assess knowledge about IST among KTR.

Inflammation is a common ailment that could develop into a chronic disease such as cancer,
diabetes and rheumatoid if not cured early. Commonly, synthetic drugs such as aspirin are used to
cure inflammation. However, synthetic drugs could have adverse side effects with long-term
consumption. This study investigates the anti-inflammatory activities of Christia vespertilionis
protease (CVP) and palm tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) in carrageenan-induced BALB/c paw
oedema. Carrageenan was injected into the left hind paw of BALB/c mice, generating an acute
inflammatory response due to the induction of neutrophils. Inflammatory mediators such as tumour
necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and free radical nitric oxide (NO) were
determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All parameters of inflammation
such as paw size (%), amount of TNF-α (pg/mg), amount of IL-6 (pg/mg) and level of nitric oxide
(μM), decreased through the treatments of CVP, TRF, a combination of CVP and TRF
(CVP+TRF) and aspirin. The treatments were shown to be effective against inflammation,
particularly CVP+TRF compared to aspirin, which could provide a novel therapeutic approach to
inflammatory diseases.

Más calidad y menos cantidad en la Cooperación Internacional para el desarrollo en el Sur global: la experiencia de Brasil
Authors: Bolfarine Caixeta Marina , Barrios Díaz José Alejandro Sebástian
Published: December 2024

Como país del Sur global, Brasil tiene el reto de promover una cooperación para el desarrollo que sea realmente efectiva para responder a las inequidades, así como la oportunidad de innovar en sus maneras de gerenciar, evaluar, mensurar y relatar sus iniciativas. En este artículo, discutimos la necesidad de ir más allá de la práctica de la Cooperación Internacional hacia el Desarrollo para mostrar el carácter diferente y particular de los intercambios cooperativos en el Sur. En base a la experiencia de Brasil con la Cooperación Brasileña para el Desarrollo Internacional, la COBRADI –a través del relevamiento de datos, sistematización y análisis, se vuelven posible algunas reflexiones. Por medio de la revisión de bibliografías sobre mensuración y evaluación de la CSS como los de NeST, ASUL y otros, y el análisis de los informes producidos por IPEA y ABC, defendemos la importancia de superar los datos cuantitativos de los recursos invertidos y alcanzar metodologías que muestren la cara más cualitativa de las iniciativas de la Cooperación Sur-Sur.
The historical rheology and cultural value of private state design
Authors: Xiao Congrong , Seong Dongkwon , Zhang Yan
Published: December 2024

Private states (also referred to as “micronations”) are unique cultural and creative products that involve political, economic, and cultural factors tied to individuals, groups, and specific social contexts. From ancient settlers establishing overseas colonies to modern digital virtual state projects, the forms and operational methods of private states have continuously evolved and innovated. The successful marketing of private states is often accompanied by the creation of narrative elements, such as their histories, constitutions, national flags, and coats of arms, constructing a grand narrative that attracts consumers, in line with the theory of monogatari consumption. As symbolic cultural products, these states not only possess material attributes but, more importantly, also embody cultural experiences and emotional value. Therefore, the significance of studying private states lies in elucidating how they present and operate their unique worldviews and cultural atmospheres to attract participation.
Transition towards a circular economy to build societal resilience to energy shocks
Authors: Tvaronavičienė Manuela , Razminienė Kristina , Adekola Abel Femi
Published: December 2024

This study examines how circular economy (CE) practices contribute to energy resilience by mitigating the impacts of energy shocks and supporting sustainable development. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of recent studies, we analyze the ways in which CE strategies—such as resource recovery, renewable energy integration, and closed-loop supply chains—enhance energy security and reduce vulnerability to energy disruptions. Our research draws on academic databases, focusing on publications from 2018 to 2024, to identify key themes and practices that illustrate the transformative potential of the circular economy. Findings reveal that CE practices at macro, mezzo, and micro levels support resilience by fostering efficient resource use, reducing dependency on non-renewable energy sources, and promoting sustainable economic growth. Additionally, we highlight the roles of foreign direct investment (FDI), research and development (R&D), and supportive policies in accelerating the adoption of circular systems. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to address identified gaps, suggesting a roadmap for advancing circular economy practices as a means to enhance energy resilience and sustainability aims to reveal how wide array of factors affect transition towards more sustainable or circular economy.

Indonesia established the Law on the National Social Security System in 2004. However, the national social security programs did not commence until 2014. The national social security implementation has faced significant obstacles. These challenges include recurring delays, legal disputes, appeals, judicial reviews, and deviations from the original policy objectives, all threatening the long-term viability of the national social security programs. This article applies a qualitative approach by critically analyzing regulations, government reports, and publicly available data and observing open public meetings and hearings concerning implementing national social security programs. Our findings indicate that implementing national social security policies in a democratic Indonesia depends on effectively managing the dynamic processes involved in policy formulation and adoption. We propose a risk-based decision-making model to assist policymakers in mitigating policy-related risks and enhance the effectiveness of future policy agendas in social security.
Latent Transition Analysis of Adolescents' Learning Patterns and Their Change types
Authors:   Korea Univ. Institute of Educational Research, Kim Kyungmin
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to classify latent profiles of learning patterns based on the time that adolescents in the 9th grade (middle school) and 10th grade (high school) spent on private tutoring, online and TV lectures, and self-study, and to examine how these patterns transitioned from middle school to high school. For this purpose, data from the 3rd and 4th waves of the 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) were used. The study subjects included 2,157 students who responded to all relevant questions in both the 3rd and 4th waves of the survey. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, latent profile analysis (LPA), latent transition analysis (LTA), and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The key findings of the study are as follows. First, at both the 9th and 10th grade time points, five distinct latent profiles of learning patterns were identified: the limited engagement group, the private tutoring-focused group, the moderate engagement group, the media-supported self-directed learning group, and the private tutoring and self-directed learning group. Second, 39.8% of students remained in the same profile between the 9th and 10th grades. Excluding those who remained in the same profile, the largest group of students transitioned from the “limited engagement group” to the “moderate engagement group,” followed by those who transitioned from the “media-supported self-directed learning group” to the “private tutoring-focused group.” The significance of this study lies in its identification of latent profiles of learning patterns based on the time invested in different learning methods and its examination of transitions across time points. These findings are expected to provide a foundation for appropriate educational interventions tailored to students' learning patterns.

In der EmTiK-Interventionsstudie wurden in 65 Klassen die mündlichen Textfähigkeiten der Kinder sowie das erwerbsunterstützende Handeln der Lehrpersonen untersucht. In diesem Beitrag wird das Instrument „Erwerbsunterstützendes Lehrpersonenhandeln“ (EULE) vorgestellt. Das Konstrukt besteht aus vier Facetten: Rahmung und Steuerung, Adaption, Anregung und Sprachliche Mittel. Diese Facetten wurden anhand von Videoaufnahmen eingeschätzt, wobei ein holistisches Basisrating mit einem kriteriengeleiteten Zusatzrating kombiniert wurde. Die empirische Überprüfung ergab eine ausreichende Inter-Rater-Reliabilität, skalare Messinvarianz über die drei Messzeitpunkte hinweg und eine hohe interne Konsistenz. EULE erweist sich somit als zuverlässiges Instrument zur Einschätzung der Qualität der Erwerbsunterstützung mündlicher Textfähigkeiten.
The Poetics of Trauma, Time, and Memory in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Early Novels
Authors: Rusu Iris
Published: December 2024

Kazuo Ishiguro’s adherence to high modernist principles of composition is well documented: critics such as Patricia Waugh, Barry Lewis, Mark Currie, Yugin Teo, and Jason Tougaw have identified (high) modernist thematic and stylistic traits in his fiction. This article discusses Ishiguro’s first two novels, A Pale View of Hills (1982) and An Artist of the Floating World (1986), arguing that his concern with traumatic memories and time is deeply rooted in the high modernist tradition. In both novels, the issues of collective and individual trauma and memory lead to cognitive displacement, the merging of memory with fantasy, and the bending of time. By employing the methodology and terminology of trauma studies, I aim to unpick not only Ishiguro’s treatment of themes such as guilt, confusion, and unhomeliness, but also a narrative strategy that draws openly on the displacements, lyricism and unreliability that are shown to result from traumatic experiences and the conscious mind’s inability to confront them.

Authors: Starzomska Aleksandra , Strużewska Joanna
Published: December 2024

The article examines the temporal variability and seasonal trends of PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter pollution in Warsaw over six years from 2016 to 2021. The study utilizes data from air quality monitoring stations in various parts of Warsaw, including urban background and traffic stations. The analysis reveals distinct patterns in particulate matter concentrations, with higher levels observed during the colder months, particularly from January to March. Conversely, lower concentrations are recorded from June to August, in the summer. The study also highlights the influence of meteorological conditions and the heating season on air pollution levels. Statistical analyses demonstrate significant variability in pollution levels across different months and years, with the correlation between monitoring stations fluctuating over time. The findings provide valuable insights into the factors driving air pollution in Warsaw and underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and mitigation efforts to improve air quality in urban environments.
Proposed Method For Studying Radon Exhalation

Published: December 2024

Objective: The main objective was to test the closed radon exhalation methodology, with AlphaGuard radon detector, for different grain sizes of a granite rock sampled from central area of Belo Horizonte and propose experimental methods for its determination.
 
Theoretical Framework: Natural radioactivity accounts for about 80% of the average annual radiation dose humans receive, primarily due to primordial radionuclides in the Earth’s crust. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends national radon (Rn) exposure mapping programs based on geological studies due to the significant contribution of Rn gas to annual radiation doses. Studies indicate that granitic and metamorphic rocks, black shales, phosphate rocks, and some carbonate rocks are common radon sources. Rn is generated in soil and migrates through soil pores, entering buildings through cracks and openings. Rn transport is influenced by factors like local geology, humidity, and temperature.
 
Method: The study tested radon exhalation from granite samples in center of Belo Horizonte using a proposed method with AlphaGuard in an exhalation circuit.
 
Results and Discussion The studied method proved to be effective with particle sizes up to 16#. For very fine particle sizes, the air flow is hampered and therefore reduces the effectiveness of transporting the radon-filled gas.
 
Research Implications: The implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into radon exhalation method in a closed circuit and its challenges. This study contributes to literature by studing exhalation rate is vital for estimating radiation risk from many kinds of materials and the indoor radon.

Published: December 2024

Companies around the world have expanded their business overseas through globalization that eases the restrictions for the movement of resources between countries. These companies who operate their businesses overseas faces challenges to help them achieve their objectives. The skill needed for these challenges is called cross-cultural understanding and if the leaders who dealt with diverse cultures fail to implement it, conflict might occur. Thus, having a good cross-cultural understanding is useful to minimize unintended conflict and applying the right cross-cultural leadership style is also necessary. PT ‘Tomyum’ Tbk. is an animal feed company based in Jakarta who employed people from Indonesia and Thailand. This research aims to find out which leadership style the company implements by using the GLOBE study’s cross-cultural leadership style and the GLOBE study’s nine cultural dimensions, also the coping mechanism that company’s leaders use to deal with the cultural differences within the company. This research is a single case research using a qualitative method with in-depth interviews conducted towards the employees of PT ‘Tomyum’ Tbk. to collect the data. The findings of this research suggest that the company is implementing the team-oriented leadership style by having good in-group collectivism values and uncertainty avoidance and lack no cultural dimensions overall. The company also has the same goal as their employees and the Thai manager also learns how to speak Bahasa Indonesia to minimize communication problems when dealing with his subordinates.
