Background: Classification of germplasm collections is of great importance for both the conservation and utilization of genetic resources. Thus, it is necessary to estimate and classify rice varieties in order to utilize these germplasms more efficiently for rice breeding. However, molecular classification of large germplasm collections can be costly and labor-intensive. Development of an informative panel of a few markers would allow for rapid and cost-effective assignment of crops to genetic sub-populations.Results: Here, the minimum number of random SNP for rice classification (MNRSRC) was studied using a panel of 51 rice varieties belonging to different sub-groups. Through the genetic structure analysis, the rice panel can be obviously divided into five subgroups. The estimation of the MNRSRC was performed using SNP random sampling method based on genetic diversity and population structure analysis. In the genetic diversity analysis, statistical analysis of the coefficient of variation (CV) was performed for MNRSRC estimation, and we found that CV variation tended to plateau when the number of SNP was around 200, which was verified by the both cross-validation error of K value and correlation analysis of genetic distance. When the number of SNPs was greater than 200, the distribution of cross-validation error value tended to be similar, and correlation coefficients, almost greater than 0.95, exhibited small range of variation. In addition, we found that MNRSRC might not be affected by the number of varieties and the type of varieties.Conclusion: The estimation of the MNRSRC was performed using SNP random sampling method based on genetic diversity and population structure analysis. The results demonstrated that at least about 200 random filtered SNP loci were required for classification in a rice panel. In addition, we also found that MNRSRC might not be affected by the number of varieties and the type of varieties. The study on MNRSRC in this study can provide a reference and theoretical basis for classification of different types of rice panels.

Published: June 2020

As urbanization and urban sprawl increases, habitat for native flora and fauna often becomes threatened. Reestablishing wildlife habitats within designed landscapes has become increasingly popular with horticultural consumers, who are becoming more aware of the benefits of using native plants and the threats of invasive species. Texas wild rice (Zizania texana Hitchc.) is a federally endangered aquatic plant known to occur only in the San Marcos River, Hays County, TX. The objective of this study was to experimentally test the impact of light availability on the vegetative growth of Texas wild rice (TWR) ex situ. The effect of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was tested by establishing treatment and control groups of plants in a river raceway located on the campus of Texas State University, San Marcos, TX. At the onset of the experiment, baseline growth data were collected on a random sample of 15 plants to determine starting conditions. The 75 plants within the control and treatment groups were also randomly selected. Two sequential experimental trials were designed involving the same treatment of PAR reductions with 15 TWR plants in the control group (100% of ambient PAR conditions) and 15 within each of four experimental treatment units. Treatments included a reduction in ambient light values at each of the following rates: PAR reduced by 10% (90% ambient light), 20% (80% ambient light), 40% (60% ambient light), and 80% (20% ambient light). Results of the study indicated high shade areas contained reduced areal coverage or complete lack of TWR. There was a significant decrease in both above and below ground biomass, with an 80% reduction in available PAR (20% available ambient light), and other growth parameters of TWR were negatively impacted by reductions in PAR greater than 40% (60% ambient light availability) during the short-term early establishment growth period. Therefore, light availability is a critical environmental factor that must be given consideration when deciding areas of the river to plant TWR for population augmentation.

Published: June 2020

Strawberry growers face rising production costs combined with competition from foreign imports. Relay cropping vegetables with strawberries is a unique approach that can diversify income and reduce the risk associated with strawberry production. Planting vegetable transplants on the same bed before strawberry crop termination enables continued berry harvesting while the new vegetable transplants become established. Relay cropping techniques of strawberry with eggplants were evaluated during the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons in Balm, FL. The strawberry crop was planted in September, and eggplant was transplanted into the beds either as a sole crop or with strawberry plants. Two experiments were conducted to optimize the planting date of strawberries and the termination date of strawberries. The objective of the research was to examine the competitive relationship between strawberry and eggplant crops and to define the optimal planting date for the eggplant and termination date of strawberries to minimize the competitive interaction and maximize the yield of both crops. Strawberry yields were unaffected (P = 0.938) by relay cropping or by the planting date of the eggplant. Eggplants grown without strawberries had 27% to 32% higher yields (P = 0.004) compared with relay-cropped eggplants, and eggplant yield decreased with later planting dates (P < 0.001). A partial budget analysis showed that transplant dates of 4 and 18 Jan. for eggplants with strawberries resulted in increased profits of $7320 and $3461 per ha, respectively, over the baseline treatment of strawberries alone, but later planting dates resulted in an overall economic loss ($7800–$16,000/ha). Strawberry termination dates did not affect eggplant yields. In conclusion, relay cropping eggplants with strawberries resulted in no effect on strawberry yields, reduced eggplant yields, but increased overall profits when eggplant were transplanted in early to mid-January. Relay cropping of strawberries with eggplants in early February to early March is less profitable than a monocrop of strawberries.
Estimating Fresh Weight of Individual Pea Shoots Using Measurable Morphological Characteristics
Authors: Kong Yun , Kong Xiangyue , Zheng Youbin
Published: June 2020

Nondestructive estimation of individual shoot fresh weight (FW) from its measurable morphological traits is useful for a wide variety of purposes in pea shoot production. To predict individual shoot FW, nine regression models in total were developed, including two power models using stem diameter (SMD) or stem length (SML) as a variable, and seven linear models using part or all the following variables: SMD, SML, leaflet length (LL), leaflet width (LW), stipule length (SEL), and stipule width (SEW). Among the nine models, the 6-variable linear equation had the highest coefficient of determination, R2 = 0.92, indicating it is most effective at explaining the variation in FW. The linear equations including only one variable, SMD or SML, were equally the least effective as nonlinear equations (i.e., power models). This finding suggests that there was a linear rather than nonlinear relationship between FW and the morphological variables. During stepwise regression, SEW and LW together were first removed from the 6-variable linear models without reducing the R2, and then SEL, SMD, SML were further removed one-by-one, which reduced the R2 from 0.92 to 0.90, 0.85, and 0.71, respectively. The result suggests that SMD, SML, SEL, and LL were the most important four predictor variables for multivariable linear regression models to estimate FW, an idea that was also supported by path analysis. For the four linear models with 1–4 predictor variables from stepwise regression, the prediction accuracy of FW was evaluated based on the agreement between the predicted and measured values using another independent dataset. The 4- and 3-variable linear models (i.e., FW = −1.437 + 0.276 SMD + 0.010 SML + 0.022 LL + 0.013 SEL and FW = −1.383 + 0.308 SMD + 0.011 SML + 0.030 LL, respectively) were selected for their more accurate prediction than 1- and 2-variable linear models and relatively simpler forms than a 6-variable linear model. Although the prediction accuracy can be potentially affected by air temperature, light conditions, and harvesting time, the multilinear regression model is an effective approach for estimating fresh weight of individual pea shoots using its measurable morphological traits.
Hairball Buster: A Graph Triage Method for Viewing and Comparing Graphs
Authors: Allen Patrick , Matties Mark , Peterson Elisha
Published: June 2020

Hairball buster (HB) (also called node-neighbor centrality or NNC) is an approach to graph analytic triage that uses simple calculations and visualization to quickly understand and compare graphs. Rather than displaying highly interconnected graphs as ‘hairballs’ that are difficult to understand, HB provides a simple standard visual representation of a graph and its metrics, combining a monotonically decreasing curve of node metrics with indicators of each node’s neighbors’ metrics. The HB visual is canonical, in the sense that it provides a standard output for each node-link graph. It helps analysts quickly identify areas for further investigation, and also allows for easy comparison between graphs of different data sets. The calculations required for creating an HB display is order M plus N log N, where N is the number of nodes and M is the number of edges. This paper includes examples of the HB approach applied to four real-world data sets. It also compares HB to similar visual approaches such as degree histograms, adjacency matrices, blockmodeling, and force-based layout techniques. HB presents greater information density than other algorithms at lower or equal calculation cost, efficiently presenting information in a single display that is not available in any other single display.

The Place of Dengbéjî in Modern Singing Techniques
Authors: CEBE Rohat , CEBE Rohat
Published: June 2020

The dengbêji bards who usually sing unaccompanied are the cornerstone of Kurdish traditional classical performance. They have sought to preserve the purity of their singing style and technique from the past to the present; and, they have maintained an existence that has been independent of modernization or foreign interchange. On the other hand, in the West especially from the start of the 20th century, classical music has changed in character reflecting cultural, political and technological developments. Opera singers, performance artists who undergo classical voice training have benefited by these technological developments, and are held in high esteem especially in regard to their voice production. Surprisingly, their modern singing techniques have a great deal in common with the age-old techniques of the Kurdish dengbêji. The present study examines both the commonalities and the differences.

Authors: Rulleau Bénédicte
Published: June 2020

Over the last 15 years, particular attention has been paid to the protection and security of so-called critical infrastructures, including drinking water distribution networks (WDN). Infrastructure managers are seeking to ensure their security and improve their resilience. However, the question of the economic efficiency and of the economic benefits provided by such measures remains open. The purpose of this article is to contribute to this debate. It presents the results of a Choice Experiment survey aimed at estimating the benefits of measures to protect against a potential cyberattack in the territory of Eurométropole de Strasbourg in France. The aggregate benefits of two resilience programs are assessed. They help make ‘optimal’ and informed decisions from a cost–benefit perspective.

Authors: Krishnan Sadayan N. , Talari Divya , Rajangam Jayaraman , Pujari Latha , Palei Narahari N. , Balaji Anna , Surendran Vijayaraj
Published: June 2020

Background:

Sunset yellow is a commonly used synthetic food additive in various food
beverages. Over usage of this colorant induces the anxiogenic behaviour in mice through oxidative
stress. Vernonia cinerea reverses anxiogenic behaviour by counteracting oxidative stress.

Objective:

The study was designed to screen the protective effect of Vernonia cinerea extract against
sunset yellow induced anxiogenic behaviour in mice through counteracting oxidative damage.

Methods:

The anxiogenic behaviour was induced by the administration of sunset yellow (20 mg/kg,
p.o) for 30 days. Ethanol extract of aerial parts of Vernonia cinerea (EEVC) (400 mg/kg, p.o) was
administered after 1 hour of sunset yellow treatment. Diazepam (1 mg/kg, p.o) was used as a reference
drug for comparisons.

Results:

FT-IR studies of the extract were done by comparing with standards to determine the presence
of phenols and flavonoids. Vernonia cinerea significantly improved the altered anxiogenic behaviour
of sunset yellow treated animals. Significant increase in the brain antioxidant enzymes catalase
(CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and neurotransmitter Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
level and decrease in the lipid peroxidation and glutamate neurotransmitter were observed in
Vernonia cinerea treated group and also this extract reversed the hippocampus CA3 region abnormalities
such as perivascular oedema, haemorrhage and severe vocalisation in sunset yellow group.

Conclusion:

The Vernonia cinerea possesses significant antioxidant, antiradical and GABA enhancing effects against
sunset yellow induced anxiogenic animals.

Authors: Higuchi Masakazu , Nakamura Mitsuteru , Shinohara Shuji , Omiya Yasuhiro , Takano Takeshi , Mitsuyoshi Shunji , Tokuno Shinichi
Published: June 2020

Background

We developed a system for monitoring mental health using voice data from daily phone calls, termed Mind Monitoring System (MIMOSYS), by implementing a method for estimating mental health status from voice data.

Objective

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of this system for detecting depressive states and monitoring stress-induced mental changes.

Methods

We opened our system to the public in the form of a prospective study in which data were collected over 2 years from a large, unspecified sample of users. We used these data to analyze the relationships between the rate of continued use, the men-to-women ratio, and existing psychological tests for this system over the study duration. Moreover, we analyzed changes in mental data over time under stress from particular life events.

Results

The system had a high rate of continued use. Voice indicators showed that women have more depressive tendencies than men, matching the rate of depression in Japan. The system’s voice indicators and the scores on classical psychological tests were correlated. We confirmed deteriorating mental health for users in areas affected by major earthquakes in Japan around the time of the earthquakes.

Conclusions

The results suggest that although this system is insufficient for detecting depression, it may be effective for monitoring changes in mental health due to stress. The greatest feature of our system is mental health monitoring, which is most effectively accomplished by performing long-term time-series analysis of the acquired data considering the user’s life events. Such a system can improve the implementation of patient interventions by evaluating objective data along with life events.
Implementation of Telemedicine in a Tertiary Hospital–Based Ambulatory Practice in Detroit During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Garg Alpana , Goyal Sachin , Thati Rohit , Thati Neelima
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has forced the health care delivery structure to change rapidly. The pandemic has further widened the disparities in health care and exposed vulnerable populations. Health care services caring for such populations must not only continue to operate but create innovative methods of care delivery without compromising safety. We present our experience of incorporating telemedicine in our university hospital–based outpatient clinic in one of the worst-hit areas in the world.

OBJECTIVE

Our goal is to assess the adoption of a telemedicine service in the first month of its implementation in outpatient practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also want to assess the need for transitioning to telemedicine, the benefits and challenges in doing so, and ongoing solutions during the initial phase of the implementation of telemedicine services for our patients.

METHODS

We conducted a prospective review of clinic operations data from the first month of a telemedicine rollout in the outpatient adult ambulatory clinic from April 1, 2020, to April 30, 2020. A telemedicine visit was defined as synchronous audio-video communication between the provider and patient for clinical care longer than 5 minutes or if the video visit converted to a telephone visit after 5 minutes due to technical problems. We recorded the number of telemedicine visits scheduled, visits completed, and the time for each visit. We also noted the most frequent billing codes used based on the time spent in the patient care and the number of clinical tasks (eg, activity suggested through diagnosis or procedural code) that were addressed remotely by the physicians.

RESULTS

During the study period, we had 110 telemedicine visits scheduled, of which 94 (85.4%) visits were completed. The average duration of the video visit was 35 minutes, with the most prolonged visit lasting 120 minutes. Of 94 patients, 24 (25.54%) patients were recently discharged from the hospital, and 70 (74.46%) patients were seen for urgent care needs. There was a 50% increase from the baseline in the number of clinical tasks that were addressed by the physicians during the pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS

There was a high acceptance of telemedicine services by the patients, which was evident by a high show rate during the COVID-19 pandemic in Detroit. With limited staffing, restricted outpatient work hours, a shortage of providers, and increased outpatient needs, telemedicine was successfully implemented in our practice.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

YouTube is an important online source of information. And its viewing numbers tend to increase exponentially in extraordinary situations.

OBJECTIVE

Our aim in this study was to evaluate the contents of the most frequently viewed YouTube videos during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

In this study, contents of the most frequently viewed Turkish and English videos regarding COVID-19 pandemics are examined and scored with modified DISCERN, MICI and VPI.

RESULTS

The mean DISCERN score of Turkish videos is similar to English videos (2.55 and 2.43 respectively). Total MICI score tends to be higher in Turkish videos. 86.9% of all 168 videos and 65.2% of all 23 misleading videos were released by news channels. Average view counts, view ratios, and VPIs of misleading videos are higher than the useful videos.

CONCLUSIONS

Since there is not a peer-review system on YouTube, it is very important for the content of videos that are released through news channels to be accurate because the important messages can be spread among people in society through them. Especially some Turkish videos included many different rumors and faulty statements. During the extraordinary situations such as the pandemics, the videos of official health authorities and international institutions should be more visible in YouTube.

Penggunaan Budaya Pop Korea dalam Proses Pembelajaran Bahasa Korea bagi Mahasiswa dengan Gaya Belajar Campuran
Authors: Hasanah Ummul , Kharismawati Mery
Published: June 2020

Many students learn Korean language because they love Korean pop culture such as song, movie, and TV show at the first place. To achieve learning goals, lecturer must match the class activities to students’ learning style. The purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness of Korean pop culture usage in Korean language learning activities. Beside that, to find what kind of class activities gain interest to Korean language learners. By using questionnaire and observation method, it is found that Korean language students like visual learning style and the combination of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning style. However, there are also some students who cannot decide their own learning style. With the mixed learning style, students are more flexible to follow learning activities and can adapt easier when learning environment changes. Although most respondents support the use of Korean pop culture in the class activities, some students state their disagreement. The reasons for their disagreement are because they worry that learning atmosphere will be disturbed because the class will be too noisy and they also want to differentiate between learning in the class and enjoying Korean pop culture outside classroom.

Published: June 2020

Background and objectives

AKI requiring dialysis is a contributor to the growing burden of kidney failure, yet little is known about the frequency and patterns of recovery of AKI and its effect on outcomes in patients on incident dialysis.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Using the US Renal Data System, we evaluated a cohort of 1,045,540 patients on incident dialysis from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2014, retrospectively. We examined the association of kidney failure due to AKI with the outcome of all-cause mortality and the associations of sex and race with kidney recovery.

Results

Mean age was 63±15 years, and 32,598 (3%) patients on incident dialysis had kidney failure due to AKI. Compared with kidney failure due to diabetes mellitus, kidney failure attributed to AKI was associated with a higher mortality in the first 0–3 months following dialysis initiation (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.24 to 1.32) and 3–6 months (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 1.20). Of the patients with kidney failure due to AKI, 11,498 (35%) eventually recovered their kidney function, 95% of those within 12 months. Women had a lower likelihood of kidney recovery than men (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% confidence interval, 0.83 to 0.90). Compared with whites, blacks (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% confidence interval, 0.64 to 0.72), Asians (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.69 to 0.96), Hispanics (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.76 to 0.89), and Native Americans (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.54 to 0.95) had lower likelihoods of kidney recovery.

Conclusions

Kidney failure due to AKI confers a higher risk of mortality in the first 6 months compared with kidney failure due to diabetes or other causes. Recovery within 12 months is common, although less so among women than men and among black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American patients than white patients.

A manager who wants to be a good manager must choose a management style that suits him and the atmosphere that surrounds him so that he can match the situation. A good manager is a manager who handles the design and construction of the team that surrounds him, and he must also handle his organizational processes in order to achieve the desired goals. The characteristics of the manager that he must know how to produce a group atmosphere and cooperation. Also he should have a balanced self-vision. (Management of inadequate reasons and treatment, Edges, 1979). A good manager should be interested in having his organization run in a way that allows him the cooperation and the teamwork and it is important that the manager should be one of the team members. Research Question: How do care managers to combines people and tasks in different Organizations? The good and effective manager is the one who can manage his organization in cooperation between the employees and he needs to have an interrelationship between them and that he believes in his team, he must also provide them with the best professional conditions for the success of the organization and the tasks. Therefore, an effective and integrated manager will have the ability to cooperate and be able to lead people and motivate them instead of managing them and imposing tasks on them and carrying out the tasks out of subordination and fear.
What’s in a Sociopolitical Pronoun? A Linguist Looks at Grammatical Gender in Gender Declaration
Authors: Sidtis Diana
Published: June 2020

Language practices, whether global, national, or at the personal level, carry influence for both good and ill. It is important that linguistic ventures into sociopolitical realms be well-informed. One such incursion has arisen from professors and administrators in university and government offices, who declare their pronoun choice, appending statements such as my pronouns are she, her, hers, at the end of their signature lines in letters and emails. While this assertion is straightforward in the English language, with its limited gender and case morphology, the linguistic landscape in other languages navigates a much greater challenge. Details of gender representation in the grammars of five other languages reveal a complexity not imaginable for English. Should the practice spread internationally, gender pronoun declarations will look very different.

NOTAS SOBRE LA FACULTAD DE AMPLIAR O RECTIFICAR LA DEMANDA UNA VEZ INICIADO EL JUICIO ORDINARIO
Authors: Alcalde Jaime
Published: June 2020

This paper tries to clarify the meaning and scope regarding the power to expand and rectify the civil complaint enlargement that Article 261 CPC grants to the plaintiff once the ordinary trial has begun. It differs from the possibility granted by Article 312 CC, which states that admitted that both parties two parties, in their reply or rejoinder briefs, may extend, add or modify the actions and exceptions that they have formulated in their demand or response, with the condition that this alteration does not affect the main controversy raised before the court. With the support of the historical origin of this rule and a systematic analysis considering the context of the Code of Civil Procedure, I will try to prove that the extension or rectification of the demand only includes the written account presented to the court and not when there was already a behavior of the defendant who assumes the material terms of the judicial controversy and locks the procedural relationship. Furthermore, this possibility does not extend to the reformed procedures, although it is included in the new Civil Procedure Code with some changes in its formulation

Authors: Wang Yunsen , Chiu Tiffany , Chiu Victoria
Published: June 2020

This study proposes a framework and develops a prototype that redesigns revenue cycle business processes to comply with the new revenue recognition standard Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU No. 2014-09 FASB 2014). The new standard aims to report the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue; however, the accounting literature and profession have raised concerns regarding companies' compliance with the new standard, and urged companies to assess their practices and modify their accounting information systems accordingly. This study utilizes process mining to redesign a revenue cycle business process framework to consider single/multiple performance obligation(s), transaction price allocation, sales discounts granted/forfeited, and sales returns scenarios. In addition, a prototype is developed to detect non-standard sales transactions automatically and identify potential violations of the new standard. Findings in this study contribute to emerging technologies in accounting, internal auditing, and revenue recognition research, and are expected to be of interest to academics and practitioners.

A Abordagem Documental do Didático (GUEUDET e TROUCHE, 2010) desempenha um papel particular neste novo campo. Na revisão da literatura verificamos que o conceito de derivada, inserido em um campo conceitual (VERGNAUD, 1990), apresenta dificuldade de aprendizagem para os estudantes, sendo que esses se saem melhores no uso da técnica do que no entendimento e atribuição de significado a esse conceito matemático. A proposta da pesquisa é de efetivar um estudo de caso com estudantes de Licenciatura em Matemática de uma universidade brasileira, desenvolvendo uma ação coletiva entre pesquisador e professor na concepção de recursos para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem do conceito de derivada no Ensino Superior. Palavras-chave: Abordagem dos Recursos; Abordagem Documental do Didático; Conceito de Derivada; Campo Conceitual; Estudo de Caso.AbstractIn this article we present preliminary ideas for our doctoral thesis and elements of a new field of research in mathematics education: The ‘Resources’ Approach to Mathematics Education - RAME - (TROUCHE, GUEUDET & PEPIN, 2019).

Realizamos então outra consulta com as palavras chaves: construções geométricas bissetriz e obtivemos 13 trabalhos, todos de mestrado profissional ou do Profmat. Para analisar esses trabalhos utilizamos os seguintes critérios: observar a abordagem dada pelo pesquisador para a bissetriz, identificar o referencial teórico utilizado, além dos sujeitos das pesquisas. Os resultados nos mostram que apenas uma pesquisa aborda e explora a noção de lugar geométrico em atividades em que a Bissetriz é a solução das tarefas apresentadas. Verificamos então com esse levantamento a necessidade de mais pesquisas que estudem o objeto matemático considerando a noção de lugar geométrico. Palavras-chave: Geometria; Bissetriz; Lugar Geométrico.AbstractThis article presents a bibliographic research that aims to present an overview of the investigations already performed regarding the Bisector. After surveying the research in the CAPES Bank of Theses and Dissertations from 2009, we found that there were no papers that specifically addressed the topic. We then made another query with the key words: bisector geometric constructions and we obtained 13 works, all professional master or Profmat. We used as criteria of analysis: observe the approach given by the researcher to the bisector, identify the theoretical framework used, and the research subjects. The results show us that only 1 research addresses and explores the notion of geometric place with activities in which Bisector is the solution of the presented tasks. We then verified with this data survey the need for more research that study the mathematical object considering the notion of geometric place.Keywords: Geometry; Bisector; Geometric place.

ResumoO objetivo deste artigo, parte de uma tese em andamento, é apresentar possibilidades de ambientes de aprendizagem, com o uso de tecnologia e materiais personalizados aos alunos, quando detectadas defasagens no seu processo de aprendizagem nos conteúdos de matemática. A maioria dos alunos matriculados nos cursos Técnicos Profissionalizantes de Nível Médio, não conseguem frequentar as aulas de recuperação paralela ofertadas pelo IFSP de forma presencial e no contraturno, pela disponibilidade de horário, conforme preconiza a legislação em vigor. Sendo assim, a pesquisa em desenvolvimento consiste em adaptar a plataforma Moodle, já utilizada pelos alunos do IFSP, e desenvolver um programa de recuperação paralela para os alunos ingressantes dos cursos Técnicos Profissionalizantes de Nível Médio do IFSP, por meio do método de Ensino Híbrido na sua modalidade Flex, permitindo que os alunos, cumpram as atividades, personalizadas pelo professor, em seu próprio ritmo. A questão consiste em verificar se a proposta poderá ser adotada pela instituição após o conhecimento dos resultados obtidos. Palavras-chave: Ensino Híbrido; Recuperação Paralela; Ensino de Matemática.AbstractThe purpose of this article (which is part of an ongoing thesis) is to present possibilities for learning environments using technology and personalized materials to students when gaps in their learning process are detected in the mathematical content. Most students enrolled in the Vocational-Technical High School courses are unable to attend the parallel recovery classes offered by the IFSP in person and the evening, due to the availability of hours, as recommended by the legislation in force. Therefore, the research in development consists of adapting the Moodle platform, already used by IFSP students, and developing a parallel recovery program for students entering the IFSP Technical High School courses, using the Blended Learning method at its Flex mode allowing students to carry out activities personalized by the teacher at their own pace. The question is to verify if the proposal can be adopted by the institution after knowledge of the results obtained.Keywords: Blended Learning; Parallel Recovery; Mathematics Teaching.

ResumoO objetivo deste estudo é o de inventariar a produção acadêmica de pesquisas em nível de doutorado nas universidades brasileiras relacionadas ao pensamento algébrico, possibilitando delimitar lacunas e tendências da área, contribuindo para o direcionamento de novos estudos. Para isso, apresentamos o panorama e o mapeamento das teses brasileiras no período de 2011-2018. Analisamos treze teses de diferentes programas de Pós-Graduação, por meio do conteúdo dos seus resumos. Categorizamos e apresentamos os dados pelas suas características físicas (ano, local, universidade, programa) e sua ênfase voltada ao tipo de pesquisa, sujeitos, materiais e objetos de pesquisa. Concluímos que houve ênfase na metodologia de pesquisa documental, as teses abordaram o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico em alunos e professores da Educação Básica exceto à Educação Infantil (crianças de 4 a 5 anos). Também foram realizadas pesquisas voltadas à formação inicial e continuada de professores generalistas e especialistas. Como lacuna, destacamos que não encontramos teses que tenham abordado o pensamento algébrico na Educação Infantil referente à aprendizagem dos alunos, à formação inicial e à formação continuada dos professores com ênfase nesta modalidade da Educação Básica. Palavras-chave: Mapeamento; Teses; Pensamento Algébrico; Educação Básica.AbstractThe main goal of this thesis is to catalog the academic production of research in a doctoral level in Brazilian universities related to algebraic thinking, making possible to delimit gaps and trends in the area/field of study, contributing to the direction of new studies. To make this possible, we present the panorama and the mapping of Brazilian thesis in the period of 2011-2018. Thirteen theses from postgraduate programs were analyzed by the content of their abstract.  We categorize and present data by the physical characteristics (year, place, university and program) and their emphasis on the type of research, subject, material and research objects. We conclude that there was an emphasis on documentary research methodology, these thesis addresses the development of algebraic thinking on students and teachers from Basic Education, except education for young children (children aged 4 to 5 years). Were also made research focused in the initial development and the continuous development of generalist and specialist teachers. As a gap/problem, we emphasize that we did not find any theses who talks about algebraic thinking on young children’s education about the student learning, initial and continuing education for teachers with emphasis on this modality of Basic Education.Keywords: Mapping; Thesis; Algebraic Thinking; Basic Education.
Household Preparedness for Natural Disasters
Authors: Kitanović Jelena
Published: June 2020

Numerous literature reviews have been carried out in the area of household preparedness activities for natural disasters. The present study aims to summarize the latest findings of natural disaster preparedness levels and aims to address the following research questions: What evidence is there for natural disaster preparedness levels? What are the demographic characteristics and potential variables that influence natural disaster preparedness? What has been reported in major bibliographic databases? The first step involved a systematic search to identify relevant studies published between 1995 and 2019 in the following electronic databases EBSCOhost, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final review. By analysing the available literature, it has been observed that the in the area of preparedness activities for natural disasters most households do not have a rapid development plan for preparation. Although little research has been done on the preparedness of the older population, it will be necessary to analyse which communication methods would be used in case of a natural disaster, as well as look into the benefits of their use for networking and rapid communication of information before and during the natural disaster.

In Croatia, the process of deinstitutionalization of childcare is underway, and it should increase the placement of children in non-institutional forms of care such as foster care. The aim of the study was to examine attitudes towards foster care and child separation among school and adult mental health professionals.
The sample consisted of 159 respondents (employees of elementary schools in Kutina, Popovača and Velika Ludina and employees of the Neuropsychiatric Hospital “Dr. Ivan Barbot” in Popovača). The survey covered all relevant sociodemographic variables, and the Scale of Attitudes Towards Separation of Children from Family and the Attitudes Towards Foster Care Scale were used to examine attitudes [Kamenov, Sladovic Franz & Ajdukovic, 2005].

In the sample examined, attitudes to foster care and separation are slightly positive, indicating that there is plenty of room for activities aimed at empowering these views. If further attitudes are to be strengthened, therefore the population of potential future foster parents is also expected to expand.

It is important to highlight the role of healthcare professionals involved in the mental health care of foster children and to consider their role in modifying general attitudes towards foster care for children and their role in building an optimal foster care system.

UN MÉTODO FUNCIONALISTA EN LA TRADUCCIÓN BÍBLICA: COMPRENDER LA ALTERIDAD DE UN TEXTO
Authors: Yung Linus , Yung Linus
Published: June 2020

The translation of the New Testament by Berger / Nord (62003) “Das Neue Testament undfrühchristliche Schriften” [The New Testament and early Christian writings] belongs to a large traditionwhich pretends to vivify the biblical texts. From a traductological point of view it is very interesting toread the introduction to all the writings of the New Testament and the early Christian texts becauseBerger / Nord explain their reasons why they have changed the order of the texts and how they havetranslated the writings following their funcionalist method of “Making Otherness Accessible”. With 10thesis and antithesis they develope this method of translating on the base of this functionalist approachwhich we will discuss from the perspective of the communicative equivalence.
