Across the United States, enrollment in high school computer science (CS) courses is increasing. These increases, however, are not spread evenly across race and gender. CS remains largely an elective class, and fewer than three-fourths of the states allow it to count towards graduation. The Chicago Public Schools has sought to ensure access for all students by recently enacting computer science as a high school graduation requirement. The primary class that fulfills the graduation requirement is Exploring Computer Science (ECS), a high school introductory course and professional development program designed to foster deep engagement through equitable inquiry around CS concepts. The number of students taking CS in the district increased significantly and these increases are distributed equitably across demographic characteristics. With ECS serving as a core class, it becomes critical to ensure success for all students independent of demographic characteristics, as success in the course directly affects a student’s ability to graduate from high school. In this paper, we examine the factors that correlate with student failure in the course. At the student level, attendance and prior general academic performance correlate with passing the class. After controlling for student characteristics, whether or not teachers participated in the professional development program associated with ECS correlates with student success in passing the course. These results provide evidence for the importance of engaging teachers in professional development, in conjunction with requiring a course specifically designed to provide an equitable computer science experience, in order to broaden participation in computing.
Critical Study on Arabic Learning by Non-Arabic Teachers and Employees Using Peer Learning in Assalaam Islamic Modern Boarding School
Authors: Sari Pertapa
Published: December 2020

Speaking using Arabic and English has become mandatory in Assalaam Islamic Modern Boarding School. The Arabic and English must be used in the daily activities around the boarding school. Therefore, all employees, both teachers and employees, are competing to learn these two foreign languages; Arabic and English. One method used by the employees and also teachers to learn Arabic in the Boarding school is by having a kind of course held in each unit or division. Teachers, especially non-Arabic teachers are also curious in learning Arabic. Meanwhile, employees who are non-Arabic based education also curious to learn Arabic. Those non-Arabic teachers and employees conduct the Arabic learning by taking around two hours course per week held in the middle of the break time. The tutor for the non-arabic teachers of course the Arabic teacher, means the tutor is their own friend. And the tutor for the employees is an arabic teacher also. And we call it peer learning which is using their own friend to be the tutor. Within one year academic 2017/2018, the Arabic course is taken and it gives a lot motivation to the non-Arabic teachers and also the employees. Peer learninng method used seemed to be the correct method in holding a course for the teachers and employees. And the study about it shows that by using this method, the Arabic can be easier to learn by non-Arabic teachers and employees.
The Differences Between Arabic Language Teaching for Single Rooted Foreign Speakers and Multiple Rooted Foreign Speakers
Authors: Azizah Alfiyatul
Published: December 2020

The Arabic language teaching has been developed rapidly through this modern era as a result of the world wide acceptance to study this language. Language enthusiasts as well as the scholars have noticed some development of Arabic language on several ways as well as its advancement according to the linguistic and geographic condition of learners. This study aims to understand some differences of Arabic language teaching for students who speak in single rooted language and students who speak in multiple rooted language. The single rooted language one took a sample from Assalam Islamic Boarding School where all of the student came from single rooted language, Malay language. While another one took a sample from An-Nile Center of Arabic Language Study for Foreigner, Cairo where the students came from several roots of languages, such as Malay, European, Russian, Turkish, African, and so on. In addition, this study aims to understand some difficulties and challenges the students and teachers face, and compare the percentage results of 4 language development skills between the two groups. The result of this study, based on those two institutions’ Arabic teaching methods, it is concluded that the comparison result of 4 language skills shows that the Arabic teaching method for Multiple Rooted Foreign Speakers (Taken from An-Nile Arabic Language Center) is better than Arabic teaching for the single rooted language speakers, especially on the speaking skill. In another side, we found that one of reasons why Arabic teaching method for foreigners from single rooted language speakers is weaker— is due to the tendency of language teachers to perform translation for Arabic words into their own particular language and the less of creative media invention uses which allow them to explain Arabic words with Arabic language.

Tercer capítulo del artículo de Alberto Tauro, en el cual presenta una crítica y antología poética de José Pérez de Vargas.

En esta edición, Tauro estudia la influencia que el docto ejemplo de José Pérez de Vargas pudo ejercer en la formación de los hombres de letras de aquella época: pues, en las tumultuosas décadas de la iniciación republicana se observa una aguda competencia entre el insurgente lenguaje popular y las mesuradas expresiones de los escritores académicos: entre la efusión verbal que reconocía pocas trabas y la escrupulosa versión del pensamiento

Ricardo Palma y Manuel Gonzalez Prada : conflicto entre dos tipos de intelectuales
Authors: Gonzáles Osmar
Published: December 2020

En el presente texto, esbozo un tipo de lectura acerca del conflicto cultural que ocurrió entre Palma y González Prada, y que se inscribe dentro de la sociología de intelectuales. La hipótesis que sostengo es la siguiente: más allá de las posiciones políticas, ideológicas y de cánones literarios, lo que está en la base del conflicto entre ambos hombres de letras es que cada uno representó a sendos tipos o figuras de intelectuales, adscritos a distintas tradiciones culturalesy visiones sociales. Por eso, considero que aun cuando hubieran coincidido en ciertos terrenos (como alguna agrupación politica o literaria) el enfrentamiento habría germinado igualmente. Me adelanto en afirmar que mientras Palma pertenecía a una tradición cultural romántica y a una visión social de tipo restringida, González Prada se ubicaba en una tradición cultural intelectualista y en una visión social no restringida (conceptos que abordaré más adelante).Ambas, tradiciones culturales y visiones sociales, dan sentido a una forma de ver la vida, el papel de los intelectuales, la cultura y la política. Esto es lo que sostengo en las páginas que vienen a continuación con el siguiente orden.

Lectores, historietas y tiras cómicas en Lima, 1947-1956
Authors: Rodríguez Toledo Luis
Published: December 2020

En esta investigación se han analizado todas las tiras cómicas de «Pachochín» en La Tribuna, cuya colección completa está custodiada por el Instituto Riva Agüero; las tiras cómicas de Última Hora entre 1950 y 1960, cuya colección completa se encuentra en la Biblioteca Nacional del Perú; y solo se ha podido consultar el tomo anual de Avanzada correspondiente al año 1955 ya que, como suele suceder con las revistas de historietas, estas no se encuentran en ningún repositorio, y se tuvo que recurrir a anticuarios y revendedores para acceder a esta fuente. Esta situación también demuestra la poca atención yescaso interés de la comunidad académica por las historietas y tiras cómicas, manifestada en el hecho que, pocas veces, han sido estudiadas desde una perspectiva histórica.

Detrusor Overactivity May Be a Prognostic Factor for Better Response to Combination Therapy Over Monotherapy in Male Patients With Benign Prostatic Enlargement and Storage Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Authors: Sakalis Vasileios , Sfiggas Vasileios , Vouros Ioannis , Salpiggidis George , Papathanasiou Athanasios , Apostolidis Apostolos
Published: December 2020

Purpose: Several trials have shown that in men with overactive bladder (OAB) and benign prostate enlargement (BPE), the combination of an α-blocker with an anticholinergic is superior to α-blocker monotherapy. The purpose of this study is to explore whether urodynamic detrusor overactivity (DO) affects clinical outcomes in men with BPE and OAB.Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of a prospective, randomized trial, designed to evaluate the changes of morphometric parameters of the prostate following monotherapy or combination therapy in men with BPE-OAB. The initial study recruited men aged ≥50 years, with BPE and predominantly storage lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Patients were randomized to receive tamsulosin monotherapy or a combination of tamsulosin and solifenacin for 26 weeks. All participants completed a 3-day bladder diary and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and then underwent pressure-flow and ultrasonographic studies. Data were stratified and analysed based on the urodynamic observation of DO at baseline (DO vs. non-DO). The primary endpoint was the mean change in urgency episodes from baseline. Secondary outcomes were the changes in nocturia, total IPSS, and urodynamic parameters.Results: Sixty-nine men were initially randomized, but only 60 men were included in this analysis. Urgency episodes significantly improved in men with DO who received combination therapy compared to the DO monotherapy subgroup (P=0.04) or to the non-DO combination treatment subgroup (P=0.038). Nocturia also improved in the DO combination treatment subgroup as compared to the non-DO combination subgroup (P=0.037). The 24-hour frequency and total IPSS significantly improved from baseline without significant differences among the subgroups.Conclusions: The present study suggests that baseline DO could be a prognostic factor for a better response to combination therapy over monotherapy in men with BPE and storage LUTS.

Published: December 2020

Background/Aims: The efficacy and safety of vedolizumab in moderate-to-severely active Crohn’s disease (CD) were demonstrated in the GEMINI 2 study (NCT00783692). This post-hoc exploratory analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab in the subgroup of patients from Asian countries.Methods: During the induction phase (doses at day 1, 15), clinical remission, enhanced clinical response, and change in C-reactive protein at 6 weeks; during the maintenance phase, clinical remission, enhanced clinical response, glucocorticoid-free remission and durable clinical remission at 52 weeks, were the efficacy outcomes of interest. Efficacy and safety of vedolizumab compared to placebo were assessed in Asian countries (Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) using descriptive analyses.Results: During the induction phase, in Asian countries (n = 51), 14.7% of the vedolizumab-treated patients achieved clinical remission at week 6 compared to none with placebo (difference, 14.7%; 95% confidence interval, 15.8%–43.5%). In non-Asian countries (n = 317), the remission rate at week 6 with vedolizumab was 14.5%. During maintenance, in Asian countries, clinical remission rates at 52 weeks with vedolizumab administered every 4 weeks, vedolizumab administered every 8 weeks and placebo were 41.7%, 36.4%, and 0%, respectively; while enhanced clinical response rates were 41.7%, 63.6%, and 42.9%, respectively. During induction, 39.7% of patients with vedolizumab experienced an adverse event compared to 58.8% of patients with placebo, and vedolizumab was generally well-tolerated.Conclusions: This post-hoc analysis demonstrates the treatment effect and safety of vedolizumab in moderateto-severely active CD in patients from Asian countries.
Investigation of Immediate and Delayed Effects of Bilateral Forearm Kinesio-Taping on Maximal Hand Grip Strength in Female Volleyball Players
Authors: Kırkaya İzzet , Kaçoğlu Celil
Published: December 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate and delayed effects of the kinesio-taping on the hand grip strength. Six-teen female volleyball players currently competing in Turkey Women’s Volleyball 2nd league (age 18.1±2.3 years, height 172.9±7.3 cm) voluntarily participated in this study. In cross-over research design, all participants participated in a total of 4 different measurements, immediately after kinesio-taping (1), immediately after placebo taping (2), after volleyball training (3), 48h post taping (4). In kinesio-taping, approximately 2-3 cm ends of kinesio-tapes were applied without tension, and the middle region was stretched by approximately 10-15% in “Y-shape”. Hand grip strength measurements were made 4 times on different days that before kinesio-taping, immediately after kinesio-taping, immediately after training and 48 hours after taping with a portable handheld dynamometer. According to the results of the one-way repeated measures ANOVA, the kinesio-taping to forearm didn’t elicit any significant changes in hand grip strength over the conditions (p > 0.05). The results of the current study showed that the kinesio-taping in female volleyball players did not have a significant effect on immediate, right after training and 48 hours after taping, compared to placebo taping measurements in dominant and non-dominant maximal hand grip strength.
The morpho-syntax of phrasal proper names in German
Authors: Roehrs Dorian
Published: December 2020

This paper studies the morpho-syntax of proper names like die Deutsche Bank ‘the German Bank’ in German. Semantically, these types of proper names, called phrasal proper names here, refer to entities but have descriptive meaning. Lexically, they are frozen and morpho-syntactically, they are frozen or transparent depending on the phenomenon. To capture these hybrid properties, it is proposed that regular vocabulary items are taken from the lexicon, that these individual elements receive each a referential marker (i.e., an index), and that they are stored as a set in the lexicon. Second, these indexed elements build a regular structure during the syntactic derivation projecting the marker to the entire structure. As is clear from proper names in Italian, certain syntactic operations are sensitive to these markers. As a consequence, these operations cannot single out the individual parts (but only the entire structure). Regular vocabulary items and an ordinary derivation explain the transparent properties; the addition of referential markers accounts for the referentiality and the frozen characteristics. The optional presence of non-restrictive modifiers shows that these nominal structures can be quite complex. Given this discussion, it seems unlikely that the referentiality of phrasal proper names is located in the DP-level.

The purpose of the research is to define the factors that negatively affect education and learning process. Descriptive content analysis, one of the non-interactive qualitative research designs, was used to analyze the data. The analyses were conducted in six stages. First, aim, subject, and research questions were determined. Literature review was done according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literature was read, the literature tags were created in the form of a table, the codes, categories, themes were created inductively according to the descriptive content analysis, and finally, analysis, association, interpretation, signification, and reporting were made. To this aim, 238 research conducted between 2014 and 2018 were jointly investigated within the framework of determined criteria. Correlation between raters was determined as rp= 0.94. According to the obtained results, variables that negatively affect learning related to technology and media may be indicated as phone, tablet, computer, game, internet, cartoons, social media, television, and TV series. Private teaching institutions and central examinations that negatively affect teaching are among the variables related to exams. Negative and disruptive factors arising from the school, education system, and educational practices; assignments, disconnection from real life, discipline problems, legislation and procedures, teaching practices that do not change or be updated, and a low possibility for failing a class are educational fashions. Addiction related viruses such as drugs, technology addiction, smoking habits affect education negatively. Obesity and excessive consumption culture and unhealthy nutrition problems that are health-related problems are also observed. Violence, swearing, using slang words, peer bullying, moral collapse, noise pollution, and problems stemming from ignoring others are the problems arising from all kinds of school environments.
Derrubar e erguer estátuas e monumentos: memória, ancestrais e construção de si em Guadalupe/ Caribe
Authors: Renou Mariana Vitor
Published: December 2020

O artigo apresenta práticas e perspectivas de associações políticas e culturais de Guadalupe/Caribe, em especial o CIPN (Comité International des Peuples Noir), que envolvem a derrubada e construção de estátuas e monumentos, bem como outras performances em torno desses objetos. Os membros dessas associações, definindo-se em sua maioria enquanto afrodescendentes, realizam um trabalho que denominam de autorreparações, ações variadas que visam, diante do contínuo histórico de extermínio, violência, submissão e assimilação ao qual seus antepassados e eles próprios estão submetidos, encontrarem-se, redescobrirem-se e reconstruírem-se enquanto afro-guadalupenses. Para tal, são aspectos fundamentais o reconhecimento, a reabilitação, a honra, a atualização e o tornar presente os ancestrais, sua história e resistências. O erguimento de estátuas e monumentos, as múltiplas ações e performances em torno deles, bem como a derrubada de objetos relacionados a uma história predominantemente eurocêntrica, fazem parte daqueles processos de reparação e evidenciam outros aspectos da discussão sobre história pública e memória.
O sujeito endividado como doppelgänger do empreendedor de si: subjetivação pela dívida na crise do neoliberalismo
Authors: Pirola Émerson
Published: December 2020

Tendo como pressuposto a intuição marxista de vincular subjetivação e trabalho, tomamos a via foucaultiana para pensar o neoliberalismo enquanto uma razão governamental que produz sua própria subjetividade funcional, o empreendedor de si, que mobiliza a essência do mercado pela concorrência. Avançando pela via crítica de Lazzarato, levando em conta a financeirização e a sociedade de controle nos deparamos com o sujeito endividado como o principal produto subjetivo neoliberal. Desse modo, introduzimos o conceito de Doppelgänger para pensar o sujeito endividado como o duplo do empreendedor de si, formando uma relação constitutiva entre estes opostos-similares. A subjetivação se dá por esse processo que encarna os personagens conceituais da razão neoliberal em simultaneidade, formando uma síntese disjuntiva que escancara a natureza paradoxal do neoliberalismo e o limite de suas promessas. Por fim exploramos brevemente a hipótese de Lazzarato de que o aparecimento do sujeito endividado seria uma substituição do empreendedor de si (antes que simultâneo), o que acompanharia a tendência autoritária ou fascista do capitalismo atual; mas acabamos por argumentar que, com a noção de Doppelgänger e a duplicidade dos personagens, estamos diante de uma continuidade neoliberal, mesmo se “autoritária”.
The first epidemiology study of urolithiasis in New Brunswick
Authors: Chen Vera Y. , Chen Yu
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Understanding the compositions of a kidney stone is crucial in leading to proper treatment and in preventing reoccurring urolithiasis. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of urolithiasis in the province of New Brunswick (NB), Canada.

Methods: A total of 3828 kidney stone analysis reports from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2019, were reviewed from laboratory information systems. Among them, 3311 were identified as new cases. Stone compositions were analyzed by the Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometry. Incident rates were compared using Chi-squared analysis of different age, sex, and regional health authority (RHA) zones.

Results: The prevalence of urolithiasis in NB was 147.8 per 100 000 person-years. Males had a significantly higher (X2=254, p<0.001) incident rate of 189 (95% confidence interval [CI] 182–198) than females (107 [95% CI 102–114]) per 100 000 person-years. Zone 1 had significantly higher (245 per 100 000 person-years, p<0.001) prevalence compared to other RHA zones. Age group over 65 years had the highest incidence rate of 253 per 100 00 person-years of all groups. The predominant kidney stone types in NB were whewellite (60.68%) and weddellite (11.58%). Those patients aged 0–18 years had a high percentage of struvite (4.32%) vs. the provincial average (2.19%) (p<0.001).

Conclusions: The prevalence of NB’s urolithiasis is slightly higher than that of Ontario. Since both zones 1.1 and 1.2 have significantly high prevalence and are situated in the Moncton area (combined zone 1), it may suggest that geographical factors play a role in the prevalence of urolithiasis in NB.

Published: December 2020

Objective To assess the effect of combined hospital and home-based exercise programs on functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) among uncorrected atrial septal defect-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (ASD-PAH) patients.Methods This study was a randomized controlled trial with uncorrected ASD-PAH patients as the subjects. They were allocated randomly into control and exercise groups. Exercise group subjects performed hospital and home-based exercise programs, completing baseline 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and EQ-5D-3L QoL test (Utility Index and EQ-VAS scores), and were followed up for 12 weeks. The primary outcomes were 6MWT distance and EQ-5D-3L score at week 12. The N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level was also assessed. A repeated-measure ANOVA was performed to detect endpoint differences over time.Results The exercise group contained 20 subjects and control group contained 19. In total, 19 exercise group subjects and 16 control group subjects completed the protocol. The 6MWT distance, Utility Index score, and EQ-VAS score incrementally improved significantly in the exercise group from baseline until week 12, with mean differences of 76.7 m (p<0.001), 0.137 (p<0.001) and 15.5 (p<0.001), respectively. Compared with the control group, the exercise group had significantly increased 6MWT distance and utility index score at week 12. The EQ-VAS score increased in the exercise group at week 12. The NT-proBNP level decreased at week 12 in the exercise group.Conclusion Combined hospital and home-based exercise program added to PAH-targeted therapy, improving functional capacity and QoL in uncorrected ASD-PAH patients.

Thus, this study longitudinal study embraces the distribution and effectiveness of necessary facilities that consume most educational budgets through extensive analysis. Hence, the main finding indicated that the Punjab province showed a radical improvement in resource equity and student learning outcomes. However, the study noted that a lot has to be done to evaluate resources since significant improvements are observed, but not an achievement.

Franchise: is artikel 7:922 BW een voorrangsregel waar de praktijk op moet voorsorteren?

Artikel 7:922 BW van de nieuwe Wet franchise bepaalt dat ten aanzien van in Nederland gevestigde franchisenemers niet ten nadele kan worden afgeweken van de Titel franchise en dat een beding in strijd met artikel 920 nietig is, ongeacht het recht dat de franchiseovereenkomst beheerst. In deze bijdrage wordt onderzocht of dit de betekenis en status kan hebben van een voorrangsregel in het internationaal privaatrecht, meer precies in de zin van art. artikel 9 Rome I Verordening.

In dit artikel wordt bij enkele wezenlijke wijzigingen in de wet stilgestaan en worden denkrichtingen voor de kwalificatie van de overeenkomst, de informatieplicht, de zorgplicht en goodwill en non-concurrentie gegeven.
The role of preoperative imaging for auditory implants in children
Authors: Burzyńska-Makuch Małgorzata , Mierzwiński Józef , Haber Karolina
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Preoperative imaging, besides audiological evaluation, plays a major role in evaluation of candidacy for auditory implants, and in particular cochlear implants. It is essential to assess whether the basic criteria necessary for implantation are met. Diagnostic imaging is crucial not only in determining candidacy, but also determining the feasibility of cochlear implantation as it allow to anticipate surgical difficulties which could preclude or complicate the implantation of the device. The aim of the study is to present the protocol for the evaluation of preoperative imaging studies with particular focus on the factors potentially affecting clinical decisions in children qualified for cochlear implantation.
Material and method: Preoperative imaging studies of 111 children performed prior to cochlear implantation were analyzed: high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of temporal bones and MRI. The assessment was made according to the presented protocol.
Results: Pathologies and anomalies identified during the assessment of preoperative imaging studies significantly altered clinical decisions in 30% of patients. In the study group, in 17% of patients inner ear malformations were identified. 2.7% of children were disqualified from a cochlear implantation due to severe congenital inner ear malformations. 9% of the patients have had bacterial meningitis. In 50% of them difficulties related to complete or progressive cochlear ossification occurred. In 4.5% of patients less common surgical approaches other than mastoidectomy with a posterior tympanotomy were applied.
Discussion: Preoperative imaging allow for the identification of significant pathologies and anomalies affecting qualification decisions and further treatment. HRCT and MRI are complementary to each other for preoperative imaging. The two modalities in combination allow accurate and optimal evaluation of the anatomical structures prior to implantation. Inner ear malformations and cochlear ossification following meningitis are relatively frequently encountered in children qualified for a cochlear implant.
The prognostic influence of pre-surgery bone conduction values on the improvement of hearing in patients treated surgically as a result of middle-ear conditions
Authors: Job Katarzyna , Składzień Jacek
Published: December 2020

Background
The influence of the mechanics of the middle ear on the function of the inner ear has been studied for many years. Among surgeries performed in the middle-ear area, those restoring full functionality of the system transmitting sound inside the middle ear may be pointed out as those fully restoring the mechanical influence of the middle ear on the function of the inner ear.
Aim:
The aim of the performed analysis is to find the prognostic importance of measured pre-surgery values of bone conduction on the improvement of hearing in patients operated as a result of middle-ear disorders.
Methods
The analysis included 271 patients hospitalised and operated on due to otosclerosis or perforation of the tympanic membrane between 2016 and 2019.
Only patients who had not had a surgical operation within the middle ear prior to the study were included. An audiological assessment was performed with the use of pure tone thresholds audiometry.
Results
A beneficial influence of the performed surgery on the improvement of bone conduction was observed in patients, in which the average threshold value of bone conduction measured before the surgery did not exceed 40 dB. In cases of the perceptive component of hearing impairment being higher than 40 dB, no statistically significant, beneficial influence of a performed stapedotomy or myringoplasty on the change of bone conduction thresholds was observed.
Conclusion
The perception component of hearing impairment up to 40 dB indicates bone conduction improvement after surgical restoration of the influence of middle-ear mechanics on the inner ear in patients treated as a result of otosclerosis, as well as of eardrum perforation.
The moderation effect of genderon the relationship between student alienation, engagement, and burnout
Authors: Tomaszek Katarzyna
Published: December 2020

Background: Burnout syndrome is a condition which can affect people in a variety of settings and in every period of life. Preliminary studies have focused on adults’ burnout related to occupational hazards. However, in recent years researchers have become increasingly interested
in student burnout in the academic and school setting. Objective: The current study analyzed the moderation effect of gender on the association between student engagement, student alienation, and school burnout. Methods: 109 secondary school adolescents completed questionnaires concerning student burnout (ESSB scale), engagement (SSEM scale), and alienation (PAI inventory) scores. Data collection
was voluntary and without compensation, and took place during the students’ class hours. Results: The moderation effect of gender was discovered forthe relationship between student burnout and total alienation and anomy scores, but not for engagement indicators. In the female sample, 63% of variance in the ESSB total score was explained by engagement indicators. In the male sample, burnout was connected with lower belonging and productivity and higher social isolation, which explained 32% of the variance in the ESSB score. Conclusion: In sum,
the results suggest that disengagement increases the risk of student burnout in both adolescent girls and boys. However, social isolation must also be considered as an important predictor of this syndrome in adolescent boys. Thus, the gender gap should be included in prevention interventions.
From hexagon to a globe: The spherical model of interests and competence beliefs by Terence Tracey
Authors: Kabzińska Zofia
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the Spherical Model of Interests and Competence Beliefs proposed by T. Tracey (Tracey, 1997, 2002, 2010; Tracey, Rounds, 1996a, 1996b). This concept integrates Holland’s RIASEC theory (1985, 1997) and the People/Things, Data/Ideas dimensions of human activity according to Prediger (1982), supplementing them with prestige, which is an indicator of professional interests and choices. The resulting three-dimensional model allows for a more complete and detailed analysis of professional interests. It includes 8 areas of basic interest and 10 types of specific interests, depending on the preferred level of prestige. The text also describes three instruments to assess professional interests, based on the discussed concept.

A Educação a Distância e a Tecnologia estão estreitamente ligados atualmente, tanto por meio dos Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (AVA’s), quanto no auxílio em funções administrativas. Cada instituição de Educação a Distância possui seu próprio modelo pedagócio, chamado Desenho Didático (DD). Entretanto, o preenchimento do DD e feito muitas vezes por meio de troca de e-mails, o que dificulta a visualização sistemática do processo e a torna ineficiente. Dessa forma, foi desenvolvida uma sistema web que tem o objetivo de auxiliar no processo de criação e avaliação de DD’s, com aplicação em ambiente real da Diretoria de Educação a Distância (DEaD) da UERN (Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte).
