Published: May 2020

This is a continuation of our “Stress Management with Herbal Alternatives” project whereby we are testing traditionally used herbs to scientifically establish their efficacy as anxiolytics for the 1st time. For the current study Bamboo leaf tea, Mint leaf tea and Clitoral bush petal tea were compared for their anxiolytic potency. Male Swiss albino mice were used to test on Open Field test (OFT) and Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) anxiety model. Diazepam (at the dose of 0.25mg/kg body weight) was used as  standard and Bangladeshi indigenous bamboo aka Bambusa polymorpha or Bamboo, Mentha piperita or Mint and Clitoria ternatea or Clitoral Bush (at doses of 1g/kg body weight) were the sample. The control group had no intervention. For OFT we tested line crossing, time spent in center, time spent in thigmotaxis and for EPM we measured the number of entry in open and closed hands, time spent in the open and closed hands. Parameters such as rearing, grooming, urination and defecation were also monitored for both tests.The trial results showed Clitoral bush and Mint leaves to have greater anxiolytic activity than Bamboo and Diazepam. Bamboo and Clitoral Bush helped in weight loss, wherelse Diazepam caused weight gain. Based on all criteria, Clitoral bush tea showed highest potential to reduce stress as well as stress related obesity. Results were followed by mint, diazepam and bamboo respectively in their potency for anxiolytic effect.

Authors: AlShareef Hatim Mohammed A. , Alshareef Alhusain Mohammad , AlKaff Mohammed Hussein
Published: May 2020

Background: upper extremity stress fractures are infrequent events in tennis sport. According to our literature, we have only identified 6 case reports of upper limb stress fractures among amateur or professional tennis players. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case report where stress fractures occur in: hamate, triquetrum, 2nd, 4th, and 5th metacarpal bones simultaneously.

Case presentation: 27 years old lady, presented with acute burning pain at the base of her right thumb. There was not a history of direct trauma. Her symptoms start to appear after 3 days of playing tennis. Physical examination was negative for tenderness, swelling and erythema. The rheumatoid factor was elevated (20.3 iu/ml). the diagnosis of multiple stress fractures was made by the suggestive MRI findings.

Conclusion: Although stress fractures of the upper limbs are not common, it is of a great value to keep the clinical suspicion high towards it. Especially in amateur or professional athletes with persistent or worsening symptoms. The best modality to confirm such fractures is MRI.

Authors: Vayanaperumal Kathiravan , Rajan Ravindran
Published: May 2020

Many evidences suggest that light to moderate alcohol drinking may provide some cardiovascular benefits. The present study examined the impact of how moderate ethanol consumption provides a protective effect against high blood cholesterol. Wistar-Albino rats were divided into a control group (I) and test groups (II, III, IV). The test groups (II, III, IV) were administered with a predefined dosage of 10%, 20% and 30% ethanol respectively following twenty days of high fat routine however, control animals were managed with normal saline for the next fifteen days. Significant difference in lipid profile parameters witnessed before and after ethanol administration between the control and test groups. Findings from the study suggests that 10% moderate ethanol is adequately least enough to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by improving the blood cholesterol in Wistar-Albino rats.
Gene Mutations in Hereditary Breast Cancer- A Review
Authors: Fairoosa Pathima , Witharana Chamindri
Published: May 2020

The most prevalent form of cancer in females is breast cancer. Roughly 5%-10% of breast cancers are hereditary, and they are associated with Germline gene mutations, inherited from parents. Germline gene mutations increase the risk of developing cancer earlier in life compared to noninherited cases (sporadic cancer). BRCA1 and BRCA2 are well-studied tumour suppressor genes associated with hereditary breast cancer. Even though mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are assumed to responsible the majority of hereditary breast cancers cases, many other breast cancer susceptibility genes have been identified in the last few decades. Identification of many germline mutations was possible due to advance sequencing technologies. Most of these genes are belongs to tumour suppressors and DNA damage repair gene families (DNA double-strand break repair and DNA mismatch repair). These genes play a vital role in genomic stability and cell cycle control suggesting that any alteration in these genes trigger uncontrolled growth and tumour formation. These genes are categorized according to the penetrance level, the proportion of carriers express the associated trait of the mutated gene. Mutations in high penetrance genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, and SKT11 greatly increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Moderate penetrance gene such as PALB2, ATM, CHEK2, BARD1, BRIP1 and low penetrance gene such as PARP4, CASP8, TOX3 confer moderate to low increase risk of developing breast cancer. Aim of this review is to summarize genes associated with hereditary breast cancer according to their penetrance level (high, moderate and low penetrance).

Published: May 2020

A number of medicinal plants have been found to influence the level of reproductive hormones and thus affect fertility in the overall. This work evaluated the effects of ethanol leaf extracts of A. gangetica and A. vogelli respectively on some reproductive system parameters in male Wistar rats. A total of sixteen (16) male albino rats were grouped into four (four rats in each group): group A served as normal control, group B received Immunace (Vitabiotics) group C and D received 400 mg/kg body weight of A. gangetica and A. vogelli extracts respectively. Extracts were administered orally to rats for 21 days, after which they were sacrificed by cervical dislocations and blood samples drawn by cardiac puncture. The effect of the extracts on testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and semen analysis of the test rats were determined using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and standard techniques. Data collected were analyzed using Graph pad prism V6 and p values < 0.05 were adopted as significant. There was no significant (p>0.05) change in testosterone, FSH and luteinizing hormones in the group administered A. gangetica plant extract relative to the control. There was also no visible difference in the testes weight and sperm morphology relative to the control group. In contrast, administration of A. vogelli extract caused significant (p<0.05) decrease in testosterone and follicle stimulating hormone concentrations from: 1.12 ± 0.20 to 0.89 ± 0.05 and 1.41 ± 0.07 to 1.35 ± 0.12 respectively relative to the control group. While significant (p<0.05) decrease in luteinizing hormone (1.71 ± 0.15) was observed relative to the standard drug group (1.76 ± 0.05). A significant (p<0.05) decrease in sperm count and testes weight was also observed in rats treated with A. vogelli extract relative to the normal control.The results suggest that, A. vogelli extract may cause decreased fertility in male albino rats and could be developed further into potent male contraceptives. A. gangetica on the other hand, had no effect on male reproductive hormones.

Published: May 2020

Enggano island is one of the foremost islands of the Republic of Indonesia in the western part of Sumatera. Geologically, this island has never been integrated with the sumateran mainland, in contrast to the upper islands such as, Nias and Mentawai, thus, the only access to this island is from the sea.  From the result of study in the field, it is known that this island was once used as a coconut plantation land by the Dutch, and controlled by the Japanese since 1943. During Japanese period, the island was focused on being a naval base as evidenced by the existence of defense buildings such as pillboxes and bunkers on the Enggano coast. One of the archeological findings that is interesting and has never been studied is the bottle. From the results of the analysis, the findings of the bottle have a different form, origin, and technology. The technology of making bottles has developed from time to time. This technology is known from the traces of its manufacture, namely the vertical lines and bubbles contained in the bottle. From the results of the reading of the inscriptions and bottle comparisons, it is known that the bottles are from Europe and Asia, and contain a type of alcoholic beverage.

Authors: Zainal ariffin Zaidah
Published: May 2020

Fungi is known to produce a wide range of biologically active metabolites and enzymes. Enzymes produced by fungi are utilized in food and pharmaceutical industries because of their rich enzymatic profile. Filamentous fungi are particularly interesting due to their high production of extracellular enzymes which has a large industrial potential. The aim of this study is to isolate potential soil fungi species that are able to produce functional enzymes for industries. Five Aspergillus species were successfully isolated from antibiotic overexposed soil (GPS coordinate of N3.093219 E101.40269) by standard microbiological method. The isolated fungi were identified via morphological observations and molecular tools; polymerase chain reactions, ITS 1 (5’- TCC GTA GGT GAA CCT GCG G3’) forward primer and ITS 4 (5’-TCC TCC GCT TAT TGA TAT GC-3’) reverse primer. The isolated fungi were identified as Aspergillus sydowii strain SCAU066, Aspergillus tamarii isolate TN-7, Aspergillus candidus strain KUFA 0062, Aspergillus versicolor isolate BAB-6580, and Aspergillus protuberus strain KAS 6024. Supernatant obtained via submerged fermentation of the isolated fungi in potato dextrose broth (PDB) and extracted via centrifugation was loaded onto specific media to screen for the production of xylanolytic, cellulolytic and amylolytic enzymes. The present findings indicate that Aspergillus sydowii strain SCAU066 and Aspergillus versicolor isolate BAB-6580 have great potential as an alternative source of xylanolytic, cellulolytic and amylolytic enzymes.
Anti-biofilm Potential and Mode of Action of Malaysian Plant Species: A Review
Authors: Raja Yahya Mohd Fakharul Zaman
Published: May 2020

Biofilm is a microbial community that attaches to a surface and is enclosed in extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. Formation of biofilm often develops resistance towards a wide spectrum of antimicrobial agents. Since the biofilm-mediated diseases are commonly difficult to treat, there is a need to find new anti-biofilm agent. The studies on anti-biofilm activities of plant species have received a great deal of attention over the last few decades. In Malaysia, plant species have been used as alternatives to the conventional antimicrobial therapy. Several Malaysian plant species are known to control biofilm infection by inhibition of quorum sensing pathway, disruption of EPS matrix, alteration of cell permeability and reduction in cell surface hydrophobicity. This review demonstrates that Malaysian plant species may become excellent therapeutic agents in combating the biofilm infection.
Optimization of Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) for the Extraction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in MD2 Pineapple
Authors: Osman Rozita
Published: May 2020

Headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was employed for the extraction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in MD2 pineapple (Ananas comosus L. var. comosus cv. MD2). Optimisation of HS-SPME operating parameters was conducted using three-factor, three-level Box–Behnken response surface experimental design to evaluate the interactive effects of temperature (30 – 50 ºC), extraction time (10 – 30 min) and salting effect (1 – 3 g of salt addition) on the amount of selected VOCs. Determination of VOCs was done using gas chromatography with spectrometry detector (GC-MSD). Extraction temperature was found to be significant (p < 0.05) in increasing the amount of selected VOCs (ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyrate and butanoic acid methyl ester). Based on the maximum amount of these VOCs, the optimum operating extraction conditions for HS-SPME were set up at temperature of 30 °C, time of 29 min and salt addition of 1 g. The optimized HS-SPME conditions were employed for the extraction of VOCs from pineapple of different varieties.
Inhibition of Aspergillus niger by Application of Punica granatum Peels and Cucurbita maxima Seeds as Bio-fungicide
Authors: Mohamad Sarina
Published: May 2020

Infection on plant caused by Aspergillus niger leads to the destruction of quantity and quality of crop yields. Normally, this disease is solved by the chemical fungicides. Therefore, this study was carried out to seek a potential natural fungicide from fruit waste which is safer and economical to inhibit Aspergillus niger. Cucurbita maxima (pumpkin) seeds and Punica granatum (pomegaranate) peels were extracted using maceration method with 80 % ethanol. Brine Shrimp Lethality Assay (BLSA) was used to test the presence of bioactive components in the extracts at concentration of 10 µg/mL, 100 µg/mL and 1000 µg/mL and they are expressed in terms of LC50 (Median Lethal Concentration) respectively. The study revealed that Cucurbita maxima extract was inactive, while Punica granatum extract and the mixture of both extracts at ratio 1:1 were active at 1000 µg/mL. Furthermore, the antifungal activity of Cucurbita maxima extract, Punica granatum extract, and mixture of both extracts were further tested using well-diffusion method against A. niger at 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, 75 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL respectively. The findings revealed the mixture of both extracts were exerted effectively against A. niger at the lowest concentration with 20.67±2.52 mm and this gave significant zone of inhibition. The result of the study indicates that the mixture extraction of pomegranate peels and pumpkin seeds at 25 mg/mL has a great potential to be formulated as commercial bio-fungicide.
Does the Single Draft of COC in the South China Sea Matters?
Authors: Haryanto Agus , Darmawan Arief Bakhtiar
Published: May 2020

This paper attempts to elaborate on the impact of the Single Draft of CoC in resolving the South China Sea (SCS) dispute. This paper uses the concept of International Dispute Settlement Procedures (IDSPs), where the parties try to resolve problems based on international law. This paper argues that countries in the region have been trying to have CoC mechanisms since the 1990s. Although in 2018, the ASEAN countries and China agreed on a Single Draft of CoC in the SCS, however the settlement of the SCS dispute is far from over. The CoC Single Draft is only a collection of ASEAN and China proposals. The Single Draft weaknesses in terms of legal status are they do not clearly state the obligations of each country to add or withdraw their respective proposals.

El papel de la universidad frente al abandono de estudios. Formación pre-universitaria basada en talleres de innovación y creatividad
Authors: Nebot Gómez de Salazar Nuria , Álvarez Gil Antonio
Published: May 2020

Uno de los retos a los que se enfrentan muchos jóvenes al terminar sus estudios de formación secundaria o ciclos formativos es la elección de una carrera universitaria. La elevada tasa de abandono de los estudios universitarios en España, especialmente en los primeros cursos académicos, es el reflejo de elecciones inadecuadas y desajustes entre las expectativas creadas y la realidad con que se encuentra el alumnado. Según datos del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte, el abandono de los estudios afecta a casi un 20% del total de los estudiantes (curso académico 2013-2014) lo que revela la necesidad de atender esta situación, buscando soluciones y nuevas medidas preventivas.
Son muchas las investigaciones que han analizado las causas de dicho abandono universitario tratando de establecer unas medidas de prevención que sean eficaces. Muchos de estos estudios coinciden en la importancia del papel de la propia universidad en la preparación de la inserción de estudiantes de bachillerato o ciclos formativos.
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo prioritario profundizar en la colaboración entre centros de educación secundaria y universitarios, incidiendo en nuevos modelos colaborativos de innovación y creatividad en la etapa previa a la entrada en la universidad. La aportación más importante se traduce en mostrar una experiencia de talleres prácticos e interactivos entre alumnado de altas capacidades de centros escolares y alumnado y profesorado de la titulación de Arquitectura.
Los objetivos de los talleres son introducir al estudiante en el campo de conocimiento de la Arquitectura, explicar la importancia de los estudios en la sociedad actual y despertar vocaciones entre otros. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una metodología basada en talleres interactivos que fomentan el trabajo en equipo y la creatividad del alumnado. Los resultados de la experiencia han sido satisfactorios, tanto la valoración de la encuesta realizada a los participantes como la valoración de los propios mentores del programa. Las conclusiones subrayan la importancia del cambio de modelo en la formación pre-universitaria: desde las actuales sesiones informativas, donde el alumnado es sujeto pasivo, hacia una formación en la que el alumnado se convierte en agente activo en el proceso de crear conocimiento.

Published: May 2020

En este trabajo se describe el desarrollo y evaluación de varios objetos de aprendizaje que se usarán como componentes de un curso MOOC (Masive Open On Line Course) en el marco de trabajo de las Comunidades Digitales de Producción gestionadas por la red CODAES (Comunidades Digitales para el Aprendizaje en Educación Superior) en México. Los materiales surgen ante la necesidad de proveer a los alumnos de nivel superior de profesiones afines a la computación diferentes medios de aprendizaje sobre temas complejos y necesarios en su formación. Los índices de reprobación actuales muestran que las técnicas de enseñanza tradicionales no han resultado efectivas para lograr el aprendizaje de algunos tópicos como la programación; los datos confirman que esta competencia es difícil de adquirir para los estudiantes por lo que es necesario buscar alternativas para el aprendizaje de los alumnos.

El equipo de investigación desarrolló como parte central de la preparación del curso MOOC de estructuras de datos varios objetos de aprendizaje que abordaron los tópicos relacionados al uso de los árboles binarios. La evaluación de los alumnos que los usaron fue favorable en los aspectos de: percepción de utilidad de los materiales, la pertinencia de las actividades, la facilidad de las tareas encomendadas y sobre la claridad de indicaciones y cuestionamientos. Los resultados de esta evaluación permiten considerar que los objetos de aprendizaje desarrollados en esta fase de trabajo serán bien recibidos en el curso MOOC del cual serán parte.
Aprendizaje basado en el modelo STEM y la clave de la metacognición
Authors: Bautista-Vallejo José Manuel , Hernández-Carrera Rafael Manuel
Published: May 2020

En este trabajo se aborda cómo a lo largo de los últimos años la investigación educativa ha contribuido a cambiar la perspectiva de la enseñanza-aprendizaje. Para ello se estudia el proceso de adquisición de conocimientos, destrezas y actitudes, realizando una aproximación epistemológica al modo en que las personas aprenden, y cómo deben adaptarse en función de ello los métodos, los procedimientos y las técnicas didácticas. Se realiza una conceptualización de la inteligencia a tenor de las investigaciones realizadas en los últimos años, así como de nuevas formas de enseñanza – aprendizaje basadas en el modelo STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) como forma de integrar estas áreas de aprendizaje de un modo eminentemente práctico, centrado en la experiencia de docentes y discentes, desplazando la mera adquisición de conocimientos. Todo ello se enmarca dentro de un proceso de aprendizaje metacognitivo cuya finalidad es que el alumno aprenda a aprender, integrando aspectos como el aprendizaje significativo, la metamemoria, la metacomprensión, la metalectura y la metaescritura. El tipo de aprendizaje y competencias necesarias para el futuro es desconocido por lo que se hace necesaria una reflexividad continua sobre los contenidos y las metodologías de aprendizaje, aspecto que pasa por un cambio curricular y metodológico que tenga presente distintos contextos y modelos de aprendizaje.

Published: May 2020

Günümüzün ekonomik, sosyal, siyasal ve teknolojik koşullarında çalışmak işgörenler üzerinde büyük baskı oluşturmaktadır. Bu baskı neticesinde bireylerde, iş yapma arzusunda azalma, başarısız olma duygusu, yıpranmışlık hissi, enerji ve güç kaybı yaşama gibi belirtilerin kaynağı olan tükenmişlik sendromu baş göstermektedir. Değer yaratan en önemli kaynak olarak insan kaynaklarının tutundurulması, örgütsel başarıyı etkilediğinden işten ayrılma niyetini azaltacak durumların stratejik kararlara bağlanması gerekmektedir. Özellikle bireysel başarı için işgörenlerin istek, arzu ve enerjisini artıracak faaliyetlerle tükenmişliği azaltmak gerekmektedir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında bu faaliyetler örgütsel bağlılığı artırarak, işten ayrılma niyetini de azaltacaktır. Bu çerçeveden bakıldığında çalışma, bankacılık sektöründe “tükenmişlik sendromu” algısının var olup olmadığı ve ne düzeyde olduğu ile tükenmişlik sendromunun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde etkisi var mıdır ve ne derecededir?” sorularının cevabını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Veriler SPSS 21.0 da analiz edilerek araştırma sonuçlarına ulaşılmış ve hem tükenmişlik sendromu algısının var olduğu hem de tükenmişlik sendromunun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Öncelikle tükenmişlik sendromunu ortadan kaldıracak faaliyetler dikkate alındığında, örgütlerde yetenek yönetimi çerçevesinde insan kaynağı tutundurma çabaları, işgörenlerdeki işten ayrılma niyeti azalacaktır. Bu durum yetenekli işgörenlerin işten ayrılma niyetinin azalmasıyla birlikte örgütsel bağlılık düzeylerini artıracaktır. Özellikle bankacılık sektörü gibi yoğun bir çalışma ortamı gerektiren sektörlerde bu durum daha büyük önem arz etmektedir.

Kamu idareleri açısından genel olarak stratejik plan yapma zorunluluğu 5018 sayılı Kamu Mali Yönetimi ve Kontrol Kanunu ile getirilmiştir. Bunun yanında 2005 yılında yürürlüğe giren 5393 sayılı Belediye Kanunu’nun 41. maddesi de nüfusu 50.000’in üzerinde olan belediyeler için stratejik plan yapma ve faaliyetlerini bu plana göre yürütme yükümlülüğü getirmiştir. Ayrıca stratejik planlama çalışmalarının ortak bir anlayışla yürütülmesini sağlamak üzere, “Kamu İdarelerinde Stratejik Planlamaya İlişkin Usul ve Esaslar Hakkında Yönetmelik (2006, 2018)” çıkarılmıştır. 5393 sayılı Kanunun 41. maddesine göre belediyelerin “mahallî idareler genel seçimlerinden itibaren altı ay içinde” stratejik planlarını hazırlamaları gerekmektedir. Belediyelerin stratejik planları belediye meclisi tarafından kabul edilmekte ve bir örneği de merkezi yönetime (Strateji ve Bütçe Başkanlığına) gönderilmektedir. Mevzuat gereği stratejik planların ilgili idare tarafından hazırlanması gerekir. Ancak uygulamada stratejik planlama faaliyetlerinde belediyelerin zorlandığı ve farklı çözüm arayışına (fiilen stratejik planları özel sektör kuruluşlarına yaptırma gibi) girdikleri gözlemlenmektedir. Bu konuda belediyelere destek sağlamak amacıyla Strateji ve Bütçe Başkanlığı tarafından 2018 yılında “Belediyeler İçin Stratejik Planlama Rehberi” yayımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada 6360 sayılı Kanun ile kurulan iki büyükşehir belediyesinin 2015-2019 yılları stratejik planları karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmektedir. Anılan dönem stratejik planları her iki büyükşehir belediyesinin ilk stratejik planıdır. Karşılaştırmalı inceleme, her iki büyükşehir belediyesinin teşkilat yapısı ve plan hazırlama yöntemi hakkında genel bilgi verildikten sonra; misyon, vizyon, temel değerler ve stratejik amaçlar bağlamında yapılmaktadır. Çalışma her iki büyükşehir belediyesinin 2015-2019 yılı stratejik planları esas alınarak yapılmış, bunun yanında ilgili mevzuat ve literatür bilgisinden de yararlanılmıştır

Authors: Ferdiansyah Pramudhita , Indrayani Rini , Subektiningsih Subektiningsih
Published: May 2020

Bandwidth merupakan aspek penting untuk kelancaran dan kenyamanan dalam akses internet. Dalam penggunaan bandwidth internet, setiap pengguna menginginkan kecepatan akses secara maksimal. Kecepatan akses secara maksimal tentu akan berhubungan dengan bandwidth yang tersedia dalam jaringan tersebut. Untuk mendapatkan kecepatan yang maksimal dengan bandwidth yang terbatas, maka diperlukan pengaturan penggunaan bandwidth yang baik untuk menjaga kestabilan trafik lalu-lintas data pada jaringan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka dilakukan upaya untuk menyempurnakan teknik manajemen bandwidth. RouterOS merupakan sistem operasi berbasis linux yang dipergunakan pada router untuk menangani manajemen jaringan dan dapat berjalan di PC maupun routerboard. Dengan sistem operasi RouterOS memungkinkan untuk membuat sebuah router sendiri dari komputer langsung. Penelitian ini menekankan bagaimana mengalokasikan bandwidth secara optimal atau merata sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna internet dengan model penerapan simpangan baku atau deviasi standar pada queue pada router mikrotik Dengan menerapkan metode hierarchical token bucket pada queue akan dianalisa kemampuan algoritma tersebut dalam upaya optimalisasi QoS dalam konsep pemerataan bandwidth. Analisa yang dilakukan dengan mencari nilai paling optimal dari pemerataan bandwidth, yaitu diperolehnya deviasi atau simpangan rata-rata bandwidth pada metode simple queue dan hierarchical token bucket. Pengujian dilakukan dengan membatasi pemakaian bandwidth dengan memberikan limitasi untuk batas minimum dan maksimum bandwidth secara dinamis. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan model penerapan hierarchical token bucket  mampu meningkatkan QoS, yaitu dengan diperoleh nilai simpangan lebih sedikit dari nilai rata-rata keseluruhan. Dengan demikian pemakaian bandwidth lebih merata sesuai dengan kebutuhan.

Para Ruy Belo, a influência da tradição no poeta tardio é inevitável e aquele que busca a sua singularidade tem de ter consciência desta realidade inescapável. Neste estudo, é analisada a dimensão hipertextual deste autor, incidindo-se sobretudo a atenção sobre “Os balcões sucessivos sobre o rio”, composição que introduz o último livro do poeta, Despeço-me da terra da alegria (1977), e que dá continuidade aos processos compositivos e às problemáticas abordadas no magnífico poema longo, A margem da alegria (1974).
Somos nós que morremos a morte: Acercamento a ‘Da morte. Odes mínimas’, de Hilda Hilst
Authors: Rocha Fernando de Sousa
Published: May 2020

Este artigo analisa o tema da morte no livro de poemas Da morte. Odes mínimas, de Hilda Hilst, a partir da noção de que há uma vivência na morte e que somos nós que, de diferentes maneiras, morremos a morte. O percurso crítico-analítico deste ensaio está dividido em três momentos: primeiro, o de uma (re)nomeação da morte; segundo, o de um chamado da morte com o corpo, tendo como pano de fundo o clássico tópico da morte e da donzela; e terceiro, o de uma virada do espelho que se interpõe entre a mulher-poeta e a morte.
As relações perigosas: as ‘Cinco elegias’ de Vinicius de Moraes e de Hilda Hilst
Authors: Da Silva Rivânia Maria , Cintra Elaine Cristina
Published: May 2020

A lírica de Hilda Hilst já foi objeto de inúmeros estudos que notaram sua interlocução com outros autores, especialmente no que se refere às poéticas clássicas e medievais. Entretanto, ainda se faz necessário verificar as relações que Hilst estabeleceu com poetas brasileiros que lhe foram contemporâneos. Nesse sentido, os movimentos intertextuais que ela apresenta com alguns poemas de Vinicius de Moraes se fazem notar com mais intensidade. Propõe-se aqui analisar como Hilst em Cinco elegias dialoga com a obra homônima de Vinicius, com o intuito de entender como essa releitura contribui para um processo de afirmação autoral na poeta.
O labirinto poético de Hilda Hilst em ‘Júbilo, memória, noviciado da paixão’: percurso lírico pelo corpo, tradição em odes descontínuas
Authors: Medeiros Ana Clara Magalhães de , Pereira Francisco Jadir Lima , Almeida Magno da Guarda
Published: May 2020

Nos setenta anos da poesia de Hilda Hilst, destacamos a dialética ausência-desejo no livro Júbilo, memória, noviciado da paixão (1974). Dois nomes críticos orientam esta pesquisa: Alcir Pécora, no que concerne à crítica literária especializada, e Elisabeth Roudinesco, pela relação com a psicanálise aqui empreendida. Realizamos incursão pelos estudos clássicos para compreensão das odes descontínuas e dionisíacas da obra. Perseguindo a presença/ausência do corpo, chegamos, com o texto, ao corpo político em mal-estar, que requer uma leitura política. Pela relação entre literatura e psicanálise, traçamos estudo analítico dos versos de palavra e corpo desta mulher-poeta.
“Maldita ortodoxia!” ou ‘Ridendo Castigat Mores’: o papel do narrador em ‘Bufólicas’, de Hilda Hilst
Authors: Zanirato Tatiana Franca Rodrigues
Published: May 2020

Este trabalho pretende, a partir da leitura dos poemas de Bufólicas, de Hilda Hilst, compreender de que maneira o tema do erotismo, recorrente no trabalho da autora, se inter-relaciona com questões ligadas à metalinguagem e ao próprio trabalho de escrita para, a partir daí, refletir sobre a sociedade em que estava inserida. Para validar o recorte, buscamos assinalar nos poemas a presença de um narrador, em substituição à voz do eu-lírico, que, com o intento de corromper o papel edificante dos contos de fadas tradicionais, orienta a percepção do leitor para derruir a moral da sociedade judaico-cristã ocidental.

La investigación para la creación de experiencias significativas en la escuela
Authors: Urueña López Jorge Eduardo
Published: May 2020

Uno de los papeles más importantes de la investigación, en medio de la reflexión de su fundamento epistémico, consiste en la comprensión de cómo se pueden crear y (re) diseñar espacios para la formación en la escuela contemporánea. En este sentido, se hace necesario retomar los planteamientos de la investigación en diseño y creación, usuales referentes en la práctica formativa de las artes, las estéticas y los estudios visuales, como bases fundacionales de nuevas formas de diseñar la experiencia con la que estudiantes y maestros transforman sus espacios de vida: el barrio, la comuna, el vecindario, entre muchos otros escenarios. Por lo tanto, en este artículo se lleva a cabo una revisión alrededor de las estéticas y estudios visuales contemporáneos como escenarios en donde se (re)configura el currículo como una experiencia de vida. La imagen, los gestos, el proceso de creación, el color y el material se convierten en ejercicios prácticos para (re)pensar la pedagogía actual y la correspondencia que ésta tiene con la formación ética y estética de los futuros ciudadanos.
La estructura del presente artículo se comprende bajo dos interrogantes y un modelo formativo para las experiencias significativas en la escuela. El primer interrogante nos acerca al cuestionamiento del papel de la investigación en diseño y creación para la planeación escolar. La segunda inquietud se denomina bajo la pregunta: ¿Cuál es el impacto ético y estético en la configuración del ser maestro y estudiante en la actualidad? El tercer y último apartado presenta la experiencia formativa denominada “Centro de Investigación Escolar: Diseñando la Ciudad, en el Barrio Olaya Herrera de la ciudad de Medellín”.
La escuela frente a sujetos adolescentes globalizados
Authors: Bolaños Diego Fernando
Published: May 2020

El siguiente texto presenta una reflexión sobre el lugar de la escuela y de las/los profesores en la función de educar adolescentes de la era global-virtual. Como sustento se presentan algunos elementos que relacionan los temas adolescencia y educación develados en una investigación intervención de orientación clínica psicoanalítica realizada entre los años 2013 y 2016 en Argentina y Colombia. En el trayecto del escrito son presentadas breves descripciones sobre las tribus urbanas; la globalización; el neoliberalismo y la revolución tecnológica-cibernética, mientras como subtemas se tratan, entre otros aspectos, las formas de goce adolescente, su socialización e identificación; su poder y dominio de la tecnología y de las comunicaciones virtuales; la forma como el neoliberalismo les puede afectar; sus imaginarios y símbolos y cómo, todos ellos chocan con los marcos tradicionales de la escuela. Al final de cada subtema, se plantean interrogantes para la reflexión. En la parte final del manuscrito se presenta de manera propositiva, el posible accionar de las/los maestros en perspectiva de su protagonismo social y cultural como educadores/as. Entre los elementos concluyentes encontrados en esta reflexión, vale la pena mencionar la particularidad que presentan los/las adolescentes al ser sujetos internet-comunicados, globales y consumistas, desde lo cual la escuela y las/los maestros deben, más que adaptarse a ellos, buscar formas, si se quiere, de cautivarles para poder guiarles.
La imagen de la mujer en la guerra a través de la televisión educativa colombiana on-line. El caso “Colombia aprende”
Authors: Cuervo Montoya Edisson , Roig Vila Rosabel
Published: May 2020

Este artículo investiga la imagen de las mujeres en la guerra. En concreto, se ha analizado una muestra de 23 videoclips sobre temas de violencia y guerra publicados en el portal educativo "Colombia Aprende". Para ello, se ha diseñado un instrumento específico de evaluación de las imágenes, para analizar entre otros indicadores, los estereotipos de la guerra, las víctimas y los roles activos. Se concluye que la imagen de la mujer representada en estos videoclips transmite la idea que el género femenino está fuera de la participación activa en esas guerras y conflictos sociales.

Kesulitan guru dalam mengimplementasikan pembelajaran tematik terintegratif di sekolah dasar
Authors: Nuraini Nuraini , Abidin Zainal
Published: May 2020

Sejak pertama kali diterapkan pada tahun 2013, pembelajaran tematik terintegratif telah menuai banyak kontroversi serta keluhan guru dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia tentang sulitnya implementasi pembelajaran tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan kesulitan-kesulitan yang dihadapi guru kelas rendah di sekolah dasar dan madrasah ibtidaiyah Kota Lhokseumawe, Provinsi Aceh dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran tematik terintegratif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan mixed-mode dengan melibatkan 96 guru kelas rendah dari SD/MI di Kota Lhokseumawe sebagai responden. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan angket yang berisi pernyataan tertutup tentang kesulitan yang dihadapi guru dan angket pertanyaan terbuka tentang alasan dan penyebab kesulitan. Data dari angket tertutup kemudian dianalisis dengan menghitung persentase kesulitan dari setiap item pernyataan, sedangkan respon tertulis dari pertanyaan terbuka dianalisis dengan metode analisis isi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan empat isu utama terkait kesulitan yang dialami oleh guru dalam menerapkan pembelajaran tematik terintegratif, yaitu kesulitan dalam penyusunan RPP (53,8%), memadukan tema antar muatan (51,1%), penyediaan media pembelajaran (53,8%), serta penilaian sikap (55,6%). Kendala-kendala lainnya yang dikeluhkan guru diantaranya kurang tersedianya buku yang sesuai untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran serta rendahnya minat dan motivasi siswa, serta masih ada siswa yang belum bisa membaca, berhitung, bahkan tidak begitu memahami Bahasa Indonesia, sehingga adakalanya mereka tidak mengerti dengan tugas yang diberikan guru. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini, maka disarankan beberapa penelitian lanjutan yang dapat meningkatkan efektifitas implementasi pembelajaran tematik terintegratif.
