Authors: Budi Sasomo
Published: August 2024

This research aims to add innovative approaches or models or learning methods/strategies that are in accordance with the independent curriculum with differentiated learning. This article was written with the flow of finding a problem, getting relevant data, discussing it in detail, and then getting the best conclusions and suggestions for the reader. Differentiated learning is designed to meet children's needs to learn according to the child's developmental achievements with the flow of understanding Learning Achievements (CP), formulating Learning Objectives (TP), developing Learning Objectives Flow (ATP), planning learning and assessment. Differentiated learning is divided into 3 stages, namely Content, Process and Product. Based on its function, assessment is divided into 3, namely Formative, Summative, Initial Assessment. Formative assessment is an assessment method carried out during the learning process to provide feedback that can help students improve their understanding of the learning material. Summative assessment can involve various forms, such as a final exam, final project, final assignment, or portfolio that reflects the understanding and skills a student has acquired over a specific period. The initial assessment is carried out to obtain initial information about understanding the material and is then used as a basis for planning learning. Learning models/methods that can be used as references for making differentiated learning plans are Cooperative Learning, Project Learning, Task Based Learning, Problem Based Learning, Flipped Classroom, Online Learning, Learning Stations.
ANALYSIS OF THE MATAnalysis of the mathematical connection ability of class viii-i students of smp negeri 11 tanjungpinang on social arithmetic materialHEMATICAL CONNECTION ABILITY OF CLASS VIII-I STUDENTS OF SMP NEGERI 11 TANJUNGPINANG ON SOCIAL ARITHMETIC MATERIAL

Published: August 2024

To achieve learning goals, students from every level of education must be involved in learning experiences to develop their mathematical connection abilities. This research aims to discover more detailed pictures of students' mathematical connection abilities on indicators that they are still lacking. The type of research that will be used in this research is qualitative research with descriptive approach. This research will be carried out at SMP Negeri 11 Tanjungpinang using research subjects, namely 33 students in class VIII-I. However, researchers only described 9 of 33 students. Researchers collected data using mathematical connection test questions and student interviews and the data analysis technique used was the data analysis technique proposed by (Miles and Huberman in Angelina, M., & Effendi, K.N.S., 2021) which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and concluding with the results of the level of students' mathematical connection abilities consisting of 3 students in the high category, 5 students in the medium category and 25 students in the low category. Students who have high mathematical connection abilities can solve the problems given. Students who have moderate mathematical connection abilities tend to be able to solve problems even though there are errors in answering questions and incomplete writing of answer results. Students who have low mathematical connection abilities tend not to be able to solve problems to measure mathematical connections. When researchers researched this, researchers found that schools were still implementing the K-13 curriculum, where students were presented with learning material from teachers. This makes students rarely explore their abilities in connecting the lessons they have learned.
Analysis of student errors in solving trigonometry questions
Authors: Sonjaya Oting
Published: August 2024

This research is motivated by the large number of students' mistakes in solving trigonometry questions and aims to analyze common mistakes made by students in solving questions on trigonometry material. The type of research is descriptive research while the research method is based on literature analysis and teaching experience in the context of mathematics education. The data analysis techniques used are: data collection, data reduction, and drawing conclusions. We analyzed we analyze the results of students' work, various sources, including theses and research journals. Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationship between angles and sides in triangles. However, students often face difficulties in understanding and working on trigonometry problems, especially when working on questions in the form of descriptions. With a better understanding of these errors, educators are expected to be able to design more effective learning strategies to help students master trigonometry concepts well.
Management Strategies for Traumatic Injuries in Pregnant Women: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Authors: Thompson Jaylyn D. , Zappetti Jenna , Clark Clarence Julian II
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Traumatic injuries in pregnant women are the leading cause of non-obstetric death and affect 6% to 8% of all pregnancies. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain updated guidelines to construct a framework for the optimal management strategies for traumatic injuries in pregnant women, considering the perspectives of obstetrics/gynecology, emergency medicine, and orthopedics. Methods: To conduct this study, research was done via a database search through the Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine’s research library. PubMed was the sole database used to review 8 peer-reviewed sources. Articles that were published within the last 10 years were chosen. Results: Every woman with significant traumatic injuries must have pregnancy ruled out given its unique physiologic characteristics. First responders gather history surrounding fetal movement, contractions, and vaginal bleeding. Stabilization includes fetal monitoring, fluid resuscitation, blood transfusions, and maternal repositioning. Laboratory studies and diagnostic imaging (ultrasound) do not harm the mother or baby and reflect fetal status. Sometimes, emergency cesarean delivery (≤ 5 minutes of arrest) is indicated. There are some reports of fetal survival and maternal benefit beyond 15 minutes of arrest. Domestic violence is the most common trauma mechanism for pregnant women and triggers several obstetric complications (fetal loss, pre-term delivery, and placental abruption). Conclusion: Adverse outcomes of pregnancy happen more frequently following trauma. Non-emergent trauma may be managed conservatively, delaying treatment until after delivery. Surgical positioning, medication administration, and diagnostic imaging determine the best outcomes for the mother and child.
Pituitary Adenoma Presenting as Cranial Nerve III Palsy and Hemifacial Pain
Authors: Choe Yoona , George Justin , Boyle Matthew , Maduka Peter
Published: August 2024

Pituitary adenomas are common neoplasms arising from the pituitary adenohypophyseal cell. They can be classified by cell type, size and as nonfunctioning or functioning based on the secretion of pituitary hormones. Of these, approximately 48% are macroadenomas (>10 mm) and approximately 53% are prolactinomas. For how common these adenomas are, only 1 of 1100 persons manifest clinical symptoms1 rendering detection and clinical management challenging. Non-functioning adenomas are slow growing like most pituitary adenomas and are usually detected due to their mass effect on neighboring structures.2 The majority of the reported symptoms as a results of these mass effects are visual field defects and headaches.3 This is usually due to a superior expansion and thus compression to the optic chiasm. In rare instances, inferior expansion, and or cranial nerve palsies have been reported.4 We present the case of an 80-year-old patient with a pituitary macroadenoma with cavernous sinus extension who presented with CN III palsy and hemifacial pain.
Review of Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures and Patient-Centered Approaches to Care
Authors: Ahmad Rabeel , Dietrich Rebekah , Khan Munaza
Published: August 2024

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are defined as involuntary experiential and behavioral responses to internal or external stimuli. They are behaviors, not associated with pathological alterations in the physiology of the brain. Although some of them mimic syncope, they have historically been regarded to clinically resemble epileptic episodes. There is a multiplicity of different names for this condition. PNES is the most widely used term, though the term "functional seizures" is increasingly used. Alternatives such as "psychogenic seizures," "dissociative seizures," "psychogenic nonepileptic attacks" (PNEA), and "nonepileptic seizures" are also used.
Singularities and asymptotic distribution of resonances for Schrödinger operators in one dimension
Authors: Christiansen T.J. , Cunningham T.
Published: August 2024

We obtain new results about the high-energy distribution of resonances for the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator. Our primary result is an upper bound on the density of resonances above any logarithmic curve in terms of the singular support of the potential. We also prove results about the distribution of resonances in sectors away from the real axis, and construct a class of potentials producing multiple sequences of resonances along distinct logarithmic curves, explicitly calculating the asymptotic location of these resonances. The results are unified by the use of an integral representation of the reflection coefficients, refining methods used in (J. Differential Equations 137(2) (1997) 251–272) and (J. Funct. Anal. 178(2) (2000) 396–420).
Design and simulation of scaffolds with lattice microstructures for bioprinting bone tissue
Authors: Zuñiga-Aguilar Esmeralda , Ramírez-Fernández Odin , Botello-Arredondo Adeodato
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineering seeks to improve, maintain, or replace the biological functions of damaged organs or tissues with biological substitutes such as the development of scaffolds. In the case of bone tissue, they must have excellent mechanical properties like native bone. OBJECTIVE: In this work, three geometric models were designed for scaffolds with different structure lattices and porosity that could be biomechanically suitable and support cell growth for trabecular bone replacement applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to the proximal femur area. METHODS: Geometries were designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and evaluated using finite element analysis in compression tests. Three loads were considered according to the daily activity: 1177 N for slow walking, 2060 N for fast walking, and 245.25 N for a person in a bipedal position. All these loads for an adult weight of 75 kg. For each of them, three biomaterials were assigned: two polymers (poly-glycolic acid (PGA) and poly-lactic acid (PLA)) and one mineral (hydroxyapatite (HA)). 54 tests were performed: 27 for each of the tests. RESULTS: The results showed Young’s modulus (E) between 1 and 4 GPa. CONCLUSION: If the resultant E is in the range of 0.1 to 5 GPa, the biomaterial is considered an appropriate alternative for the trabecular bone which is the main component of the proximal bone. However, for the models applied in this study, the best option is the poly-lactic acid which will allow absorbing the acting loads.

Authors: Alipour-Haris Golnoosh , Armstrong Melissa J. , Goodin Amie J. , Guo Jingchuan Serena , Brown Joshua D.
Published: August 2024

Background:

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia in the US, presenting unique end-of-life challenges.

Objective:

This study examined healthcare utilization and care continuity in the last year of life in LBD.

Methods:

Medicare claims for enrollees with LBD, continuously enrolled in the year preceding death, were examined from 2011–2018. We assessed hospital stays, emergency department (ED) visits, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, life-extending procedures, medications, and care continuity.

Results:

We identified 45,762 LBD decedents, predominantly female (51.8%), White (85.9%), with average age of 84.1 years (SD 7.5). There was a median of 2 ED visits (IQR 1–5) and 1 inpatient stay (IQR 0–2). Higher age was inversely associated with ICU stays (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.96; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.96–0.97) and life-extending procedures (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.95–0.96). Black and Hispanic patients experienced higher rates of ED visits, inpatient hospitalizations, ICU admissions, life-extending procedures, and in-hospital deaths relative to White patients. On average, 15 (7.5) medications were prescribed in the last year. Enhanced care continuity correlated with reduced hospital (OR 0.72; 95% CI 0.70–0.74) and ED visits (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.69–0.87) and fewer life-extending procedures (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.64–0.79).

Conclusions:

This study underscored the complex healthcare needs of people with LBD during their final year, which was influenced by age and race. Care continuity may reduce hospital and ED visits and life-extending procedures.
Sex Differences in Dementia, Cognition, and Health in the Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies (CFAS)
Authors: Merrick Richard , Brayne Carol
Published: August 2024

Background: There is renewed interest in whether sex differences in dementia risk exist, and what influence social and biological factors have. Objective: To review evidence from the Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies (CFAS), a multi-center population-representative cohort study in the UK; focusing on dementia and cognition, incorporating findings on participants’ health and social circumstances. Methods: After identifying all CFAS publications, the results of all sex-stratified primary analyses of CFAS data were narratively reviewed. Results: Of 337 publications, 94 report results by sex (including null findings), which are summarized by theme: dementia epidemiology, cognition, mental health, health expectancy, social context and biological resource (including neuropathology). Conclusions: Where differences are found they most commonly favor men; however, greater mortality in men may confound associations with age-related outcomes. This ‘survival bias’ may explain findings of greater risk of dementia and faster cognitive decline in women. Age-specific dementia incidence was similar between sexes, although reduced incidence across study generations was more pronounced in men. Mood disorders were more prevalent in women, but adjusting for disability and deprivation attenuated the association. Prominent findings from other cohorts that women have more Alzheimer’s disease pathology and greater risk of dementia from the Apolipoprotein E ɛ4 allele were not observed, warranting further investigation. The ‘male-female health-survival paradox’ is demonstrated whereby women live longer but with more comorbidity and disability. Examining why health expectancies changed differently over two decades for each sex (interacting with deprivation) may inform population interventions to improve cognitive, mental and physical health in later life.

Background: Tau accumulation in Alzheimer’s disease is associated with short term clinical progression and faster rates of cognitive decline in individuals with high amyloid-β deposition. Defining an optimal threshold of tau accumulation predictive of cognitive decline remains a challenge. Objective: We tested the ability of regional tau PET sensitivity and specificity thresholds to predict longitudinal cognitive decline. We also tested the predictive performance of thresholds in the proposed new NIA-AA biological staging for Alzheimer’s disease where multiple levels of tau positivity are used to stage participants. Methods: 18F-flortaucipir scans from 301 non-demented participants were processed and sampled. Four cognitive measures were assessed longitudinally. Regional standardized uptake value ratios were split into infra- and suprathreshold groups at baseline using previously derived thresholds. Survival analysis, log rank testing, and Generalized Estimation Equations assessed the relationship between the application of regional sensitivity/specificity thresholds and change in cognitive measures as well as tau threshold performance in predicting cognitive decline within the new NIA-AA biological staging. Results: The meta temporal region was best for predicting risk of short-term cognitive decline in suprathreshold, as compared to infrathreshold participants. When applying multiple levels of tau positivity, each subsequent level of tau identified cognitive decline at earlier timepoints. Conclusions: When using 18F-flortaucipir, meta temporal suprathreshold classification was associated with increased risk of cognitive decline, suggesting that abnormal tau deposition in the cortex predicts decline. Likewise, the application of multiple levels of tau clearly predicts the distinctive cognitive trajectories in the new NIA-AA biological staging framework.

Published: August 2024

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in gene regulation and are implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, their expression patterns and potential as biomarkers in genetic FTD involving Chromosome 9 Open Reading Frame (C9ORF72), Microtubule Associated Protein Tau (MAPT), and Progranulin (GRN) genes are not well understood. Objective: This study aimed to profile the expression levels of lncRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected within the GENetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI). Methods: Fifty-three lncRNAs were analyzed with the OpenArray Custom panel, in 131 patients with mutations in C9ORF72, MAPT, and GRN, including 68 symptomatic mutation carriers (SMC) and 63 presymptomatic mutation carriers (PMC), compared with 40 non-carrier controls (NC). Results: Thirty-eight lncRNAs were detectable; the relative expression of NEAT1 and NORAD was significantly higher in C9ORF72 SMC as compared with NC. GAS5 expression was instead significantly lower in the GRN group versus NC. MAPT carriers showed no significant deregulations. No significant differences were observed in PMC. Disease duration did not correlate with lncRNA expression. Conclusions: NEAT1 and NORAD are upregulated in C9ORF72 SMC and GAS5 levels are downregulated in GRN SMC, underlining lncRNAs’ relevance in FTD and their potential for biomarker development. Further validation and mechanistic studies are crucial for clinical implications.
Semantic Web and its role in facilitating ICT data sharing for the circular economy: An ontology survey
Authors: Kurteva Anelia , McMahon Kathleen , Bozzon Alessandro , Balkenende Ruud
Published: August 2024

The environmental pressure, CO2 emissions (including embodied energy) and delivery risks of our digital infrastructures are increasing. The exponentially growing digitisation of services that drive the transition from industry 4.0 to industry 5.0 has resulted in a rising materials demand for ICT hardware manufacturing. ICT devices such as laptops and data servers are being used on average for 3 and 4–5 years respectively (van Driel (2020)), while research shows that they should last 7 years before replacement (Journal of Cleaner Production 69 (2014), 10–16). A solution is to transition from a linear to a circular economy (CE), through which materials that were previously disposed of as waste are re-entered back into product life-cycles through processes such as reuse, recycling, remanufacturing, repurposing. However, the adoption of the CE in the ICT sector is currently limited due to the lack of tools that support knowledge exchange between sustainability, ICT and technology experts in a standardised manner and the limited data availability, accessibility and interoperability needed to build such tools. Further, the already existing knowledge of the domain is fragmented into silos and the lack of a common terminology restricts its interoperability and usability. These also lead to transparency and responsibility issues along the supply chain. For many years now, the Semantic Web has been known to provide solutions to such issues in the form of ontologies. Several ontologies for the ICT, materials and CE domains have been build and successfully utilised to support processes such as predictive maintenance. However, there is a lack of a systematic analysis of the existing ontologies in these domains. Motivated by this, we present a literature survey and analysis of, but not limited to, existing ontologies for ICT devices such as laptops, materials and the CE. In addition, we discuss the need for findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR) data in the CE, different factors such as data privacy and security that affect this and the role of ontologies.
Disability, recruitment and job retention: Identifying barriers and facilitators from the employers’ point of view
Authors: Jupille Julien , Deloffre Sophie , Leguay Denis , Chirio-Espitalier Marion
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Despite increased public awareness of the professional, integration of people with disabilities, they encounter more difficulties than their non-disabled counterparts in accessing employment. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the barriers and facilitators to hiring and retaining people with disabilities from the perspective of employers in the private and public sector in France. METHODS: This was a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with forty-two employers from public structures or private companies. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research was used as a guideline to secure accurate and complete reporting of the study. RESULTS: Among barriers we found that 1. Stereotypes persist about disability, still associated with lower productivity and dangerous behaviour; 2. Disabilities were associated with costs that were considered too high; 3. Disabilities management was seen as an administrative burden. 4. The bumps of inclusion. We also highlighted facilitators such as 1. A public sector is a more favourable environment 2. Employer’s personal motivation to hire people with disabilities; 3. The support by Job Coaches was seen as a powerful facilitator. CONCLUSIONS: The decision to hire people with disabilities depends on many personal, societal and organisational factors. This study has contributed to a better understanding of their interrelationships and could be useful in developing more effective strategies for the inclusion of people with disabilities.
Primal Awareness - Science, Religion, and a Route to Consciousness
Authors: Cottam Ron , Vounckx Roger
Published: August 2024

We indicate that energy is arguably a scientifically reduced model of Universal primal awareness. This then implies that our conventional scientific ‘world view’ is itself a reduced model of a more complete reality, which primarily constitutes awareness as a, or the Universal mode of existence. This implies that our habitual relationship with our environment is to a degree erroneous, and that this begets a feeling of incompleteness of experience. We propose that this feeling is responsible for the widely observable establishment of religion, in its interpretation as evidence of a supernatural presence, usually involving a personal relationship. We maintain that recognition of the dichotomy we describe should be a vital part of system design and operation. We represent neural operations by a hierarchy, which can be decomposed into two partial hierarchies, one for the operational levels, one for the inter-level complex regions. We compare the neural hierarchy with atomic energy levels, and conclude that these are more correctly levels of awareness. We propose that awareness is amplified up through the neural hierarchical levels, producing consciousness, and that mutual observation between the two representative hyperscales generates self-awareness.
Leveraging Sentence-oriented Augmentation And Transformer-Based Architecture For Vietnamese-Bahnaric Translation

The Bahnar people, an ethnic minority in Vietnam with a rich ancestral heritage, possess a language of immense cultural and historical significance. The government places a strong emphasis on preserving and promoting the Bahnaric language by making it accessible online and encouraging communication across generations. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, such as Neural Machine Translation (NMT), have brought about a transformation in translation by improving accuracy and fluency. This, in turn, contributes to the revival of the language through educational efforts, communication, and documentation. Specifically, NMT is pivotal in enhancing accessibility for Bahnaric speakers, making information and content more readily available. Nevertheless, the translation of Vietnamese into Bahnaric faces practical challenges due to resource constraints, especially given the limited resources available for the Bahnaric language. To address this, we employ state-of-the-art techniques in NMT along with two augmentation strategies for domain-specific Vietnamese-Bahnaric translation task. In a multi-task data augmentation approach, new sentence pairs are generated through transformations. These augmented sentences are employed as auxiliary tasks within a multi-task framework during training. The objective is to introduce fresh contexts where the target prefix alone does not provide sufficient information for predicting the next word accurately. His approach enhances the encoder’s capabilities and compels the decoder to focus more on the source representations from the encoder. On the other hand, the sentence boundary augmentation method extends the application of the noising-based approach beyond the word level to include sentence-level augmentation. In neural machine translation, handling errors related to grammatical structure and sentence boundaries poses significant challenges to ensure robustness. Through thoroughly examining errors, it becomes evident that sentence boundary segmentation has the most substantial impact on translation quality. To enhance segmentation robustness, a straightforward data augmentation strategy is devised. Importantly, both approaches are flexible and can be used with various neural machine translation models. Additionally, they do not require complex data preprocessing steps, the training of additional systems, or the acquisition of extra data beyond the existing training parallel corpora.

GOOD GOVERNANCE DOCTRINE AS A FACTOR IN THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF GOVERNANCE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF UKRAINE)
Authors: Yalovets Olena ,
Published: August 2024

The relevance of the study is stipulated by a number of factors, namely Ukraine’s course towards European integration and implementation of the good governance principles, the long-term functioning of the Ukrainian society under martial law allowing to determine the connection between good governance and democracy. The purpose of the study is to establish the connection between the democratization of the state and law regime and good governance through the analysis of the implementation of the good governance principles in Ukraine. Content analysis made it possible to assess the historical and political context of Ukraine, the influence of various factors on the processes of governance and democratization is investigated. The hermeneutic method played an important role during the analysis of the legislation, which made it possible to clarify the state of normative consolidation of good governance principles. The case study method made it possible to study specific examples of the application of the good governance doctrine. The comparative method was used to compare the model of good governance with the practice of government institutions’ activity in Ukraine. Results. The principles of good governance are closely related to the characteristics of democracy. Studying the implementation of the principles gives an idea of the state of democracy within the state. The level of implementation of the good governance principles reflects the degree of democracy of the state and law regime. Implementation of good governance principles leads to the democratization of the Ukrainian society. Ukraine is at the initial stage of implementing of the 12 good governance principles. Despite the initial stage, the basis for the implementation of the principles has already been laid. The war started by russia has a negative impact on the effectiveness of the implementation of the good governance principles. Overcoming the factors that hold back the implementation of the principles is a key to democratization of Ukraine. The research materials can be the basis for further study of good governance and democratization of the Ukrainian society, and will also be useful for government institutions to develop comprehensive programs for good governance implementation.
An analysis of heat-related illnesses in children due to immoderate temperatures
Authors: Agrawal Amit , Agrawal Rashmi
Published: August 2024

Soaring temperatures, as a result of climate change, is impacting all beings across the globe. This has led to multiple illnesses and emergency room visits, during extreme temperatures, especially summers. The most vulnerable to scorching heat are infants, children and adolescents along with the elderly. Heat-related illnesses (HRIs) may range from minor forms, such as prickly heat, to severe, life-threatening conditions such as heatstroke. Pediatricians need to be aware of the varying physiologies and behaviors the children might present as a result of HRI and predisposing factors that may put them further at risk. Although the pathophysiology of HRI is understood, the scope of pharmacotherapy to treat them is limited. Currently, prevention is the best course of action against HRIs. Thus, the escalating average temperatures and challenges, posed by climate change, demand a review of the existing preventive and treatment strategies for HRIs. This article hence, attempts to compile the different kinds of HRIs along with their pathophysiology, causes, and detection and how they can be prevented and treated among children.
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF VIRTUAL EXCHANGE
Authors: Budz I. F. , Nisanoglu N. H.
Published: August 2024

The article presents an overview of the theoretical foundations of virtual exchange or telecollaboration as a practice implemented through computer-mediated communication, with the help of which there is interaction between people located in remote areas. From the point of view of learning foreign languages, it is a powerful tool that involves the formation of a number of competencies, in particular, intercultural and communicative ones. In addition, virtual exchange is considered a cost-effective way of language learning that can replace physical mobility programs. In recent years, models of virtual exchange within the framework of the Lingua Franca approach have developed in response to important global issues. There are two styles of communication in virtual exchange: synchronous, which occurs in real time, and asynchronous, which occurs with a time delay. Also, this article examines three types of pedagogical mentoring, which are designed to guide and coordinate the interaction and cooperation of students during virtual exchange sessions. Mentoring practice in the course of preparation for the event is aimed at anticipating and mitigating potential problems that may arise in the process of virtual interaction. Mentoring during a virtual exchange event includes a variety of practices, such as mentoring on technical issues, role rotation, collaboration, asking for clarification, discussing content, linguistic and telecollaborative adaptability, etc. Pedagogical mentoring observed after the video conference aims to survey students about their acquired experiences and conclusions, which can be informative for coordinators to review and take into account to improve further virtual interaction.

In the article we presented recognizing of reflection as a specific form of the activity with the aim of understanding one’s own actions allows us to consider professional reflection through the prism of such a phenomenon as psychological readiness for the activity in the paradigm of Antropological Approach. We’ll emphasize that for the emergence of a state of readiness for complex types of activities, which, in our opinion, also includes reflection, the following stages are necessary: 1) awareness of the demands of the society, the team and one’s own needs; 2) awareness of tasks, the solution of which will lead to the satisfaction of needs or achievement of the set goal; 3) understanding and assessment of some conditions in which future actions will take place, actualization of the experience related to solving problems and fulfilling requirements of this kind in the past; 4) determination, based on the experience and assessment of future conditions of the person’s activity, of the most probable and helpful ways of solving problems or fulfilling certain requirements; 5) predicting the manifestations of one’s intellectual, emotional, motivational and volitional processes, assessing the ratio of one’s own capabilities, the level of harassment, the need to achieve a certain result, etc. We showed, that the readiness of a student of the university for professional and educational activities was a complex component of psychological education and included: 1) a positive attitude towards professional activity and stable motives for this activity; 2) professionally significant features of mental processes; 3) personal qualities, necessary knowledge, abilities and skills, which are adequate to the requirements of professional activity. Thus, psychological readiness for the person’s activity contributes to the formation of professional reflection, which, in turn, determines this readiness. Readiness provides a great opportunity for the individual to use knowledge, experience, to adapt to the conditions of various professional situations and it is, like reflection, a crucial condition for quick adaptation to the future profession and further professional selfimprovement.

Resilience is the ability to emerge strengthened from adversity. Recently, as the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted adolescents' growth processes, investigating which psychosocial variables make adolescents resilient has become essential. The aim of the study is to investigate which are the significant predictors of resilience in a sample of Italian adolescent students (N = 1266, 47% male, mean age = 14.96 years) one year after the end of the pandemic. Participants responded to a battery of tests, administered online, that included measures of: resilience, ad hoc items on meditation frequency, self-compassion, self-efficacy in managing positive and negative emotions, and coping. The results of a linear regression model revealed that the predictors of resilience in adolescents in the post-pandemic period were: frequency of meditation (ß =.61, p <.01), self-efficacy in regulating positive and negative emotions (ß =. 41, p 001; ß = 19, p 001), self-reliance (ß = .11, p 001), mindfulness (ß = .11, p 01), low over-identification (ß = -.06, p 05), future perspective (ß = .11, p 001) and problem orientation (ß = .17, p 001). These findings emphasize the importance of cultivating these psychosocial variables to promote adolescents resilience in the face of adversity. The implications of the present study are discussed.

A Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP) é uma terapia analítico-comportamental desenvolvida para intervir sobre o repertório interpessoal dos clientes. Ela parte do pressuposto que comportamentos-problema interpessoais que levam o cliente para o tratamento podem se generalizar para a relação terapêutica – visto que esta também tem origem social – e criar oportunidades para que repertórios mais efetivos sejam construídos. O objetivo final da psicoterapia é que os progressos alcançados em sessão se generalizem novamente para o ambiente natural do cliente. A FAP vem sendo estudada para variadas psicopatologias, porém apenas recentemente os pesquisadores demonstraram interesse por sua aplicação ao Transtorno por Uso de Substâncias (TUS).O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar o modelo de intervenção FAP para o TUS encontrado na literatura da área e exemplificá-lo com um caso clínico. O cliente atendido possuía quadro de Transtorno por Uso de Álcool que era mantido parcialmente por déficits no repertório interpessoal para produzir reforçadores positivos alternativos à substância. A aplicação da FAP provavelmente produziu aumento na frequência de comportamentos de melhora em sessão e diminuição no abuso de drogas extrassessão. Concluiu-se que a FAP pode ser uma ferramenta terapêutica adjunta para o tratamento deste transtorno.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a participação de mulheres na Análise do Comportamento no Brasil, por meio do exame de diferentes categorias representativas da carreira e produção acadêmicas: 1) egressos de programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Análise do Comportamento, 2) publicações em periódicos da área, 3) docência em programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu, 4) editoria em revistas científicas da área e 5) bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa do CNPq. Os resultados sugerem que a participação feminina diminui com o aumento da seletividade da posição. O percentual de mais de 70% de mulheres formadas nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Análise do Comportamento não é mantido quando se avança para autoria de artigos em periódicos científicos (60%), docência (51,20%), editoria de periódicos científicos (39,02%) e bolsas de produtividade em pesquisa (32%). Mesmo que a desigualdade entre os gêneros não seja a única explicação para os achados, a hipótese de “teto de vidro” não pode ser, de antemão, rejeitada diante dos dados obtidos. Em vista disso, destaca-se a importância de se implementar uma política científica de identificação de contingências discriminatórias entre os gêneros no ambiente acadêmico-científico, de modo que assimetrias pautadas na desigualdade entre homens e mulheres não sejam perpetuadas.
