Definición de indicadores. Calidad en cursos virtuales
Authors: Russo Claudia , Sarobe Mónica , Ahmad Tamara
Published: March 2022

El área Educación Digital de la Universidad Nacional del Noroeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (UNNOBA) creó un modelo para la evaluación de la calidad de los cursos con horas virtualizadas. El trabajo fue realizado atendiendo a la necesidad de evaluar cómo se desarrolla el sector e-Learning a nivel mundial y poniendo particular atención en computar aquellas variables que influyen directamente sobre el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. Constituido por cuatro dimensiones, observadas y medidas mediante ocho, diez, cuatro y tres indicadores respectivamente, el modelo de evaluación fue administrado por una red de tutores que recorrió las aulas virtuales al finalizar el primer y el segundo cuatrimestre del año 2020. Estas mediciones permitieron realizar un análisis comparativo de la calidad de dichas aulas en ambas instancias y corroborar la virtud anticipatoria e innovadora de los indicadores.
Uma proposta de situação didática pautada pelos constructos teóricos da Didática da Matemática e apoiada pelo software GeoGebra
Authors: Da Silva Camilo Aline Maria , Vieira Alves Francisco Régis , Fernandes Fontenele Francisca Cláudia
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um breve relato sobre as principais teorias, existentes no contexto da Didática da Matemática (DM), contextualizando-as no cenário atual educacional, mediante a proposta de uma situação didática, pautada em tais vertentes. Trata-se, portanto, de um conjunto de embasamentos teóricos, oriundos da revisão bibliográfica, de trabalhos científicos anteriores, que debateram sobre o mesmo tema, instituindo, assim, uma série de conceitos introdutórios, de uma futura pesquisa de mestrado. Tendo como aspecto central a interação entre professor, aluno e saber matemático, a proposta da situação didática será dada por meio de uma situação-problema (envolvendo a Geometria plana), auxiliada pelos recursos do software GeoGebra, na busca de contribuir para uma melhor representação e modelização dos elementos que envolvem o problema. As teorias, presentes neste artigo, demarcam elementos representativos que contribuíram para a organização e construção do campo de estudo da DM. Deste modo, antes da apresentação da situação didática, os tópicos vindouros farão uma abordagem sobre a transposição didática, contrato didático, obstáculos epistemológicos e didáticos, e, por fim, situação didática.
Relación entre los videojuegos y las aplicaciones y la adquisición de vocabulario en inglés como lengua extranjera
Authors: Gómez García Lucía , Urraco Solanilla Mariano
Published: March 2022

Este artículo explora la relación que existe entre el uso de videojuegos y la adquisición de vocabulario en inglés como lengua extranjera. Para ello se aplica un punto de vista educativo, analizando las posibles conexiones entre el mundo de los videojuegos y la enseñanza del inglés, concretamente en la etapa de Educación Secundaria. Se realiza una revisión de aplicaciones y videojuegos educativos orientados a la adquisición de vocabulario en inglés, en el marco general de la gamificación de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se revisan distintos estudios empíricos que han trabajado con este tipo de recursos tecnológicos. Los casos prácticos analizados apuntan a que el uso de los videojuegos en el aula mejora tanto la motivación como el aprendizaje efectivo de vocabulario en inglés como lengua extranjera, por más que se observan distintos elementos que pueden generar problemas y que no deberían obviarse a la hora de introducir los videojuegos en las aulas.

Este artigo é um recorte de dissertação de mestrado a qual apresenta uma proposta de ensino referente ao uso dos problemas (Problemas Olímpicos) contidos nas questões da Olimpíada Brasileira de Matemática das Escolas Públicas (OBMEP), para auxílio de professores em formação inicial em Matemática e ensino de Matemática. Desse modo, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma proposta de ensino do teorema da base média do triângulo a partir de um problema da OBMEP, com amparo no software GeoGebra, sob a perspectiva da Teoria das Situações Didáticas (TSD) para o ensino do teorema da base média do triângulo. A situação-problema foi discutida com base nas Situações Didáticas Olímpicas da OBMEP, estruturada e fundamentada nas fases da Teoria das Situações Didáticas, com o auxílio do software GeoGebra. A pesquisa foi modelada conforme a metodologia de pesquisa da Engenharia Didática. Os resultados foram categorizados baseado nas etapas de ação, formulação, validação e institucionalização da TSD. Observou-se que a utilização que o PO aplicado fez emergir todas as etapas da TSD fazendo o aluno agir, formular e validar as estratégias apresentadas, o que contribuiu na construção do aprendizado. Portanto, os resultados obtidos foram positivos na visão dos professores em formação pela forma como foram planejadas as situações didáticas e pela utilização do GeoGebra na construção e no apoio aos estudantes nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem de Matemática.
Ceylon cinnamon and clove essential oils as promising free radical scavengers for skin care products
Authors: Martiniaková Silvia , Ácsová Aneta , Hojerová Jarmila , Krepsová Zuzana , Kreps František
Published: March 2022

Due to adverse effects of free radicals on human skin and increasing consumer demand for natural ingredients, essential oils from basil, Ceylon cinnamon bark, clove, juniper, lavender, oregano, rosemary, tea tree, thyme, and ylang-ylang were assessed for their antiradical activity. The oils were evaluated in the concentration range of 5—0.1 mg·mL−1, in which the three reference synthetic antioxidants are most often added to mass-produced cosmetics. Among all examined samples, C. cinnamon oil at a concentration of 5 mg·mL−1 showed the strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity (0.41 mg·mL−1 IC50), followed by clove oil, BHA, α-tocopherol, and BHT (0.82, 0.84, 0.88 and 0.93 mg·mL−1 IC50), respectively. At the same concentration, the reduction power of C. cinnamon oil was higher (1.64 mg·mL−1 Trolox Eq.) than that of α-tocopherol and BHT (1.42 and 0.80 mmol·L−1 Trolox Eq., respectively) but lower than that of BHA (1.81 mmol·L–1 Trolox Eq.). Antiradical activity of the other eight essential oils was low or negligible. C. cinnamon oil and clove oil are promising antiradical agents for skin care but according to our GC-MS analysis, these oils contain 0.29 % of cinnamaldehyde, 0.03 % of linalool, 0.02 % of D-limonene, and 0.02 % of eugenol or 0.41 % of eugenol and 0.002 % of linalool, respectively, which are monitored contact allergens in cosmetics. Such a product is not be suitable for consumers allergic to these substances but for the vast majority of consumers it does not pose a risk in terms of allergic manifestations.
Economic Disruption and Language Shift – Some Ethnographic Data from Ireland After the 2008 Crash
Authors: Ceallaigh Ben Ó
Published: March 2022

This paper discusses some of the ways in which the “Great Recession” which followed the 2008 economic crash affected the vitality of Irish-speaking (“Gaeltacht”) areas. In addition to a brief discussion of the nature of neoliberalism – the cause of the 2008 crash – and some of the ways in which this ideology stands in contradiction to the requirements of language revitalisation, examples are given to illustrate the way in which the recession affected state language policy. Various microlevel consequences of these macro-level economic and policy developments are then discussed by reference to ethnographic data gathered in the Gaeltacht. Issues such as deindustrialisation, unemployment and the problematic nature of tourism in minoritised language communities are discussed, as is language use amongst young people and the way in which technology can contribute to language shift. The paper concludes with a discussion of the potential for anti-systemic movements and policy proposals such as the “Green New Deal” to create, coincidentally, a macroeconomic regime that would be more favourable to linguistic minorities than that of neoliberalism.
Post-fledging dependence period, dispersal movements and temporary settlement areas in saker falcons (Falco cherrug)
Authors: Kouba Marek , Slobodník Roman , Chavko Jozef
Published: March 2022

Information on mortality rates and their causes in raptors and owls during the post-fledging dependency period (PFDP) and subsequent dispersal is essential for their more effective protection, including more efficient use of funds. Despite the importance of the above data, these data are not yet available for most birds of prey. The study aimed to provide and expand the knowledge in this field for saker falcon. We used satellite telemetry to monitor a total of six young birds since they left the nest boxes. All young birds survived the PFDP, but none survived to adulthood and died during the period of dispersal movements. The PFDP lasted 47 days (median value hereinafter), and the distance of individuals from the nest boxes during this period was 3.2 km (maximum distance 9 km). The area of the home range of the PFDP calculated by the 100% minimum convex polygon (MCP) method was 81 km2. During the period of dispersal movements, the monitored individuals set up five temporary settlement areas with an area of 422 km2 according to 100% MCP, where they stayed for 37 days. All individuals’ mean length of movement routes throughout the monitoring period was 3862 km. The main finding of the present study is the fact that none of the monitored individuals survived the dispersal period. At least half of them died due to human activity (electrocution, hunting), which is probably unbearable in the long term for wild populations of most animal species. This shows the need to start eliminating all types of artificial traps (e.g., electrocution, hunting, poisoning, etc.) without delay, thus helping to prevent the decline of populations of many species in the shorter or longer time horizon.
Reproductive Originalism: Why the Fourteenth Amendment's Original Meaning Protects the Right to Abortion
Authors: Gans David H.
Published: March 2022

The conventional wisdom among conservative originalists is that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey are abominable rulings unmoored from the text and history of the Constitution. In the eyes of conservative originalists, the Supreme Court created the right to abortion out of whole cloth, without a shred of support from the Constitution’s text.

These so-called originalists are deeply misguided. As this Essay shows, the text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment, in fact, protect unenumerated fundamental rights, including rights to bodily integrity, to marry and have a family, and to reproductive liberty. The right to abortion flows logically from these fundamental rights that the Fourteenth Amendment was written to protect. The Supreme Court should recognize these Fourteenth Amendment first principles when it decides this Term’s blockbuster case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a challenge to a Mississippi law banning abortions after fifteen weeks of pregnancy.

This Essay makes two central claims. First, it shows that the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment broadly protects fundamental rights, including rights not specifically mentioned elsewhere in the four corners of the Constitution’s text. Against the backdrop of the horrors of slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment drew on the Declaration of Independence’s promise of inalienable rights and the Ninth Amendment’s affirmation of individual rights not specifically enumerated in the text to safeguard the protection of basic personal rights inherent in liberty. Accordingly, the fact that the Constitution does not explicitly list abortion as a protected right is irrelevant.
Crise sanitária e violência simbólica
Authors: Souza Mariana Jantsch de
Published: March 2022

Neste texto, apresentamos uma leitura de práticas discursivas do Presidente da República Federativa do Brasil produzidas no contexto da crise sanitária decorrente do novo Coronavírus, vivenciada em nível global desde março de 2020, conforme decretado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. Este olhar teórico-analítico encontra esteio na Teoria do Discurso de M. Pêcheux, Análise de Discurso, sendo realizada uma articulação com o campo do Direito, visando compreender a Presidência da República enquanto lugar de exercício do poder, a partir da regulação e injunção político-jurídicas. Nessa perspectiva, os dizeres do Presidente são analisados em relação aos direitos fundamentais, ao modo como são significados nesse discurso no que se refere às questões de saúde pública que emergem nessas condições de produção. Nesse panorama, podemos compreender que o discurso em análise revela um movimento de desestruturação das referidas injunções que regulam o lugar institucional de fala da Presidência da República, sua função e papel social e institucional perante os brasileiros – revelando um desvirtuamento das mesmas e um exercício violento do poder.

Cannabis: entre droga ilegal y negocio en auge ¿Están cambiando los estereotipos tradicionales en la prensa española?
Authors: Santos Diez María Teresa
Published: March 2022

El artículo presenta como objetivo analizar el tratamiento del cannabis desde la perspectiva de los periódicos españoles, con el fin de mostrar la imagen que ofrecen. Mediante una metodología de análisis de contenido se identifican los géneros, las fuentes utilizadas, las áreas temáticas dominantes y se compara el tratamiento dado por los diarios digitales españoles El País, El Mundo, ABC y La Razón, desde el 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre de 2019. Las conclusiones muestran un predominio de textos informativos, firmados por los redactores o el propio periódico y un uso de fuentes oficiales. Respecto a su temática, los diarios continúan relacionando el cannabis con acciones tipificadas como delito (detenciones, desmantelamientos e incautaciones). Asimismo, incorporan nuevos contenidos vinculados a esta sustancia como negocios de empresas de producción, distribución, biotecnología, cosmética y de ocio que aparecen como un sector emergente. Destaca la ausencia de información sobre programas, servicios y campañas realizadas desde Instituciones y otros organismos para afrontar problemas de dependencia o adicción, entre otros. Estos resultados sugieren que los cambios legislativos evidencian la necesidad de llevar a cabo un proceso de normalización del estatus del cannabis que tiende a relacionarlo con la salud, el cuidado personal, el ocio e incluso el lujo. De modo que los diarios españoles empiezan a alejarse de la percepción del cannabis como droga ilegal mantenida durante décadas, para mostrar una imagen en cierto modo más permisiva del cannabis obviando otros aspectos.

Published: March 2022

Los dispositivos móviles ocupan un lugar relevante en el escenario mediático. La consolidación de los teléfonos inteligentes como plataformas prioritarias para el acceso a la información periodística digital origina cambios en la producción, la distribución y el consumo. Este artículo presenta un modelo evolutivo del contenido periodístico para dispositivos móviles para contribuir a la teoría de los medios móviles iniciada por otros investigadores. Enmarcada en la ecología de medios, la teoría del actor-red y el estudio de la relación sociedad-tecnología, partimos de una revisión bibliográfica para analizar las innovaciones en el ecosistema digital móvil relacionadas con los aspectos semánticos (nuevos formatos y géneros de contenidos) y sociales (nuevas formas de apropiación de medios y tecnologías) y se identifican los actores principales que interactúan en este ecosistema. Se reconstruye el proceso de emergencia de tecnologías móviles, dispositivos, usos, plataformas, productos y servicios sobre un eje temporal multidimensional. Se define y caracteriza una nueva etapa en el periodismo móvil a partir del año 2015. La fase de consolidación de los contenidos periodísticos en los dispositivos móviles está protagonizada por la emergencia de las redes sociales y los microformatos, la personalización, el vídeo, el audio, los boletines y las alertas informativas, los wearables, los altavoces inteligentes y la automatización. En esta etapa se normaliza la producción de contenido informativo específico para ser distribuido y consumido a través de diferentes dispositivos móviles, adaptándose viejos formatos y surgiendo otros propios del medio.

Adjusting Median and Trimmed-Mean Inflation Rates for Bias Based on Skewness
Authors: Rich Robert W. , Verbrugge Randal J. , Zaman Saeed
Published: March 2022

Median and trimmed-mean inflation rates tend to be useful estimates of trend inflation over long periods, but they can exhibit persistent departures from the underlying trend over shorter horizons. In this Commentary, we document that the extent of this bias is related to the degree of skewness in the distribution of price changes. The shift in the skewness of the cross-sectional price-change distribution during the pandemic means that median PCE and trimmed-mean PCE inflation rates have recently been understating the trend in PCE inflation by about 15 and 35 basis points, respectively.

Published: March 2022

The institutionalization of business-government relations has acquired a global character and has spread not only in the developed Western countries but in Latin America too. Informal practices are being replaced by the formalization of lobbying in business-government relations. Using the example of Chile and Peru, which were among the first in the region to embark on the path of forming an open and transparent system of business-government relations, this article analyzes the legal regulating of lobbying. The subject of comparative analysis is the lobbying laws is these states. The features of formal lobbying institutionalization are identified on the basis of the following criteria: interpretation of lobbying and lobbying activities, subjects and objects of lobbying, requirements for actors, ways and opportunities for their communication, and sanctions for non-compliance with these norms.

Cardiac Arrest Due to Severe Vasovagal Response After Spinal Anaesthesia in Caesarean Section: Case Report
Authors: Bekele Zenebe , Abebe Fasil
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT

Introduction and importance:

The vasovagal response is a reflex action that causes cardiovascular depression, bradycardia, and loss of consciousness. It is important to be aware of the risk factors for the vasovagal response and the pathophysiology that must be managed once it occurs.

Case presentation:

A 28-year-old mother was admitted to Ambo University Hospital for an emergency cesarean section. She received spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine 12.5 milligrams isobaric, and after the T4 blockade was reached, surgery was initiated. A few seconds later, the patient’s heart rate, consciousness, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure dropped then immediately cardiopulmonary resuscitation was started adrenaline and fluid was administered. After a few minutes, the patient’s vital signs recovered. And with careful monitoring in the intensive care unit for 24 hours, the patient was discharged to the obstetrics department and discharged to her home 2 days later without leaving any specific sequelae. This case demonstrates the potentially serious risk of vasovagal damage with spinal anesthesia during cesarean section, particularly during placental expulsion.

Discussion:

Vasovagal response secondary to spinal anesthesia and uterine retraction is a rare phenomenon, which results in a decrease in patient consciousness, heart rate oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and finally cardiac arrest. So it is important to know warning signs of the reflex and the early beginning of recitations.

Conclusion:

The unanticipated vasovagal response is secondary to spinal anesthesia and uterine retraction can potentially cause severe consequences. Therefore, the lessons we learned from this case were careful history-taking and preoperative evaluation; proper management of preload, early recognition of vasovagal responses through careful monitoring, and timely treatment of hemodynamic collapse.

Unified-modelling language (UML) is a standard general purpose modelling language, which is widely, used in system design of banking, biological, plantation and healthcare. Recently, there are many systems of healthcare are modeled using behavioral diagram such as UML statechart for design purposes. However, the behavior of healthcare statechart is rarely verified to ensure it is behaving as we needed. In software engineering, a software should be verified before it is transform to the further phases. In this paper, a statechart of outpatient clinic is verified to ensuring the correctness of its design. Therefore, to achieve our objective, we have applied Common Modeling Language (CML) and SMV model checker for verification formal system modeling and specification of property of statechart outpatient clinic. The result shows that the statechart of outpatient clinic is behave as required and the statechart is allowable to transform to the next phase.

The ageing community may keep resuming their service even after the pension, which was influenced by their previous work environment. One of the occupations that elderly individuals could engage in is taxi drivers. Feelings of discomfort are generated among drivers when there is a mismatch between the product/device and the user. This study's principal objective is to assess the mismatch between seat drivers and anthropometric measurements among elderly taxi drivers to improve their work environment in term of safety and health. A cross-sectional study was led utilizing a self-administered survey instrument that involved four taxi cars from Proton products on seat measurement. Secondary data applied to obtain anthropometric measurements of elderly taxi drivers, which involved 56 elderly (male) drivers. The anthropometric parameters and seat parameters measured. The mismatch can be determined at any value over 95% or less than 80% of the respondents' total number. The measurements between 80% to 99% are classified as matched to the reference value of the respondents. The cushion width based on the proposed size at 95th percentiles show as much as 91.8% is matched to the width of the hip of the elderly taxi drivers. The backrest width which refers to the proposed measurement at 95th percentiles matched 94.0% the length of elderly taxi drivers' shoulder. The proposed cushion length measurement with knee-length to the buttock of elderly taxi drivers at a 5th percentile is 92.8% matched. The study provides a concrete foundation to identify a mismatch between current seat size with anthropometric of elderly taxi drivers that cause injury or pain due to discomfort while driving in Malaysia. It also helps us initiate the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in health and safety. The baseline data is believed to benefit the automotive industry before the designing process.

Severe uncertainties climate changes course flood and droughts disaster have made clean water precious for domestic consumption. Thus, securing clean water is important. Wastage of water comes from water consumption such as from household usage. However, monitoring water consumption from household usage is tedious and time consuming. This work utilized Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the coefficient of micro-components of water consumption (CMWC) values to determine high influential household routine parameters. Nine household parameters have been investigated namely, bath/shower, personal hygiene, flush toilet, wash cloth by hand, wash cloth by washing machine, food preparation, water plant, washing car and miscellaneous. These parameters are encoded as a chromosome data in GA to incorporate the CMWC values. The aim is to minimize the residential water consumption estimation error rates and subsequently enabling increased accuracy towards estimating and classifying the amount of residential water consumption. Data average monthly water consumption were collected from 80 households in Seremban. Water consumption has been categorized into three groups of low (L-PDWC), medium (M-PDWC) and high (H-PDWC). Comparison was made between per capita water consumption (PCC) and Domestic Water Consumption via Genetic Algorithm (DWC-GA) error rate’s values. The results are as follows; PCC method’s error rates of 9.49 and DWC-GA error rate is 1.05.

Mangosteen is one of the highest export commodities among other fruits in Indonesia. Mangosteen should be free from defects and damages to be accepted as export quality. In most of the mangosteen plantation in Indonesia, sorting of mangosteen is performed manually with human eye. This method is less effective and inaccurate because it depends on workers’ conditions and perceptions. The use of image processing technology for quality inspection has been done for various fruits. However, mangosteen quality inspection in Indonesia has not used image processing technology. The objective of this research is to develop a method using support vector machine to classify defect and non-defect mangosteen surface. The method involved mangosteen surface image capture, pre-processing, defect features extraction using Curvelet transformation and classification using support vector machine. We collected 120 input images using camera from defect and non-defect mangosteens. The proposed method resulted 96.67% of accuracy. It can be concluded that the proposed method has successful classify mangosteen surface.

The demand of construction project is increasing from years to years. Therefore, to survive and growth well in the industry, technology and innovation need to be executed by the organisation as both aspects are known as a weapon which helps in enhancing competitive advantage. Consequently, organisation should have the awareness on absorptive capacity to allow such practice is possible. Absorptive capacity is known as a critical item within organisation in order to sustain, grow and compete in the market. In previous research, absorptive capacity had been used to analysis performance at different levels including individual, organisation, industry and country. However, many researchers focus only on large organisation rather than small organisation. Meanwhile, on the different dimension, many researchers outlined the current aspects in measuring absorptive capacity is focus on R&D orientation which is not suitable for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) construction organisation. Hence, this paper aims to identify suitable measurement in measuring absorptive capacity level among SMEs within construction industry. Based on the absorptive capacity measurement models synthesis, the researcher found that most of previous research used performance, employee abilities and organisation factors to measure absorptive capacity in the construction industry. This research also considered non R&D absorptive capacity measurement in manufacture sector due to limited reliable literature review in measuring absorptive capacity through its dimensions; acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation. A proposed framework that represents absorptive capacity measurement among SMEs is established at the end this paper.

Mobile government system has got a worldwide attention including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government. The government is promoting the adoption of M-government services resulted from several hinderence such as trust on e-services and culture. People can be motivated to adopt this current trend through understanding the preferences. Hence, this paper presents the development of six constructs models having 30 preferences of adopting M-government services from the perception of the UAE people. The constructs are Social Influence (SI), Perceived Compatibility (PC), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Trust in Technology (TT) and Perceived Risk (PR). These constructs were modelled using AMOS software with 263 samples collected data from people of the UAE. It was found that all the constructs achieved the fitness values which indicates there is strong relationship amongst the measuring preferences for adopting the M-government services for the people of UAE. These findings of the study will help devise strategies to promote M-government services in the UAE.
