Justice environnementale et ressentiment vert : l’exemple d’arrondissements montréalais
Authors: Patsias Caroline
Published: March 2023

Cet article examine l’opposition des citoyens des classes moyennes et paupérisées aux politiques vertes dans deux arrondissements de Montréal. Via l’étude de conseils d’arrondissement, cette étude souligne la façon dont la justice environnementale nourrit un ressentiment vert chez certains citoyens. Les citoyens observés ne sont pas idéologiquement contre les politiques environnementales. Ils se sentent plutôt emportés par une « révolution verte » dont ils supporteront la majeure partie des coûts sans en retirer de bénéfices à court terme. Leur conception de la justice environnementale croise une critique procédurale de la démocratie concernant la participation et la transparence et une critique substantielle des inégalités dans la répartition des coûts des politiques environnementales. Ces citoyens mettent également en avant un attachement à leur quartier qui lie l’environnement à une conception du bien commun.
Process of Building Resilience in Adult Children of Alcoholics: A Grounded Theory Approach
Authors: Kim Hee Kyung
Published: March 2023

The current study used a grounded theory approach to develop a substantive theory of the process of building resilience in adult children of parents with alcohol use disorder (ACOAs). Seventeen ACOAs selected by purposive sampling underwent in-depth interviews. Results demonstrated that ACOAs' resilience developed in four phases: exposure, awareness, action, and adaptation. The core category of the construction process of ACOAs was
accepting reality in the collapse of everyday life and becoming myself
. The central phenomenon grounded in the process of developing resilience was
trying to maintain my daily life
. The current study suggests that appropriate intervention strategies are needed at each phase of development to address the particular needs of ACOAs in that phase. [

Published: March 2023

Of individuals who need treatment for substance use disorder (SUD), 12.6% do not receive it. One reason for this failure to treat is an inadequately prepared health care workforce, including nurses. To establish a state-wide baseline of SUD curricular content, we collected information about topics taught and barriers to teaching important topics using an anonymous survey sent to all 55 nursing programs in Indiana. Topics deemed important were taught more frequently, such as opioid withdrawal (60.6%). Lack of expertise was more commonly reported as a barrier than lack of time (25.3% vs. 7.1%). Findings suggest that nursing students in Indiana are not taught requisite content related to SUD. We have provided pragmatic recommendations to enhance content in schools of nursing and address lack of expertise among faculty. Leaders need to actively evaluate and augment the content of their curriculums to include SUD. [

New Horizons of Near-field Optical Microscopy
Authors: PARK Kyoung-Duck
Published: March 2023

Structure, functions, dynamics, and interactions are the basic properties to systematically understand physical systems existing in nature. In particular, there have been many scientific adventures to understand optical properties of materials and light-matter interactions, yet in the classical regime at the microscale due to the diffraction-limited optical resolution. Near-field optical microscopy enables to probe them at the nanoscale and even induces light-matter interactions in a reversible fashion. In this article, we introduce the fundamental concept of various types of near-field microscopy and several applications studies reported recently. Furthermore, we provide several new directions of nano-spectroscopy and -imaging based on tip-enhanced approach, which have not been thought in the near-field optics community before.
Effectiveness of integrated traffic management for a combined flyover system in Colombo: a microsimulation approach
Authors: Liyanage Tissa , Fernando Dileepa , Dalpethado Gayashan
Published: March 2023

Major arterial roads in city centres often face ever-increasing traffic demand periodically addressed through developments to ease congestion on road links and improve integrated road connectivity. Towards this end, three flyovers are proposed in the Slave Island area in Colombo. This high-investment project of the Sri Lankan Government expects the flyovers to prevent peak-hour traffic delays from the frequent road closures at two railway gates while providing for the higher traffic generated from the land use changes in the area. The project also expects to relieve congestion in the adjacent road network.
This research investigates the outcomes expected of integrated traffic management from the project. A traffic analysis was carried out for the entire road network of the project impact area using the PTV Vissim software. Moreover, current and future land use was considered in assessing network connectivity over the design life. Alternative traffic management options were tested to identify the most feasible arrangement for connecting the proposed flyovers. Origin-Destination data from 2018 were used to determine intersection capacities and pedestrian movements. Results reveal that delays due to railway gate closure reduced, though a significant traffic diversion from the proposed flyover network was not evident.

Authors: Cavey Daniel
Published: March 2023

This papers classifies toric Fano threefolds with singular locus
$\{ \frac {1}{k}(1,1,1) \}$
for
$k \in \mathbb {Z}_{\geq 1}$
building on the work of Batyrev (1981, Nauk SSSR Ser. Mat. 45, 704–717) and Watanabe–Watanabe (1982, Tokyo J. Math. 5, 37–48). This is achieved by completing an equivalent problem in the language of Fano polytopes. Furthermore, we identify birational relationships between entries of the classification. For a fixed value
$k \geq 4$
, there are exactly two such toric Fano threefolds linked by a blowup in a torus-invariant line.
Distributed Generation Hosting Capacity Evaluation for Distribution Networks Considering Uncertainty
Authors: Ashna Mohammad Ali , Liang Dong
Published: March 2023

The use of grid systems for distributing and managing resources such as computing power and data storage has become increasingly widespread in recent years. However, as the demand for these resources continues to grow, the capacity of traditional grid systems to meet this demand has become a concern. When dealing with the constantly expanding system scale and its many uncertainties, traditional model-based techniques are becoming unsuitable. A better alternative to these techniques involves considering data-driven control (DDC) methodologies. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the current state of the art in DDC usage in grid systems in monitoring, improving, error detection, etc. with a particular focus on improving host capacity. We then describe our proposed approach, which involves improving the host capacity of grid systems using historical data. Finally, we present experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach and discuss its potential impact and future directions.

¿Dónde está el paraíso?: Este cuerpo mío de Mariana Villegas y el afecto corporal
Authors: Santana Analola
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo retoma una crítica en torno a la mirada patriarcal sobre cuerpo gordo femenino para afirmar las posibilidades que permite un discurso afectivo de liberación. Se utiliza un análisis de la obra teatral mexicana Este cuerpo mío de Mariana Villegas para ejemplificar estas posibilidades. La representación de los cuerpos gordos y los efectos que esto trae consigo, recaen con mayor daño en los cuerpos femeninos, debido a la construcción social de los géneros que desde la cultural patriarcal se ha hecho. En específico, se impone la vergüenza sobre el cuerpo que no se conforma a un modelo de belleza que ha traído consecuencias nefastas en los cuerpos femeninos. Con su puesta en escena, Mariana Villegas utiliza un discurso afectivo para desmantelar esta vergüenza y encontrar la aceptación propia.
NATURE-BASED EDUCATION IN THE LIGHT OF MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY: MEANING, PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
Authors: Ozgen Zeliha
Published: March 2023

The subject of the article is the role of nature in learning as an essential part of the Montessori Philosophy in early childhood education. This article highlights the use of nature-based activities within Montessori’s pedagogical perspective for including content about the natural world in early childhood settings. In this paper, it is aimed to increase the awareness of learning through nature on child development and to disseminate nature-based practices used in line with the Montessori approach in preschools. Firstly, the role of nature as an educational tool is described, followed by an understanding of nature pedagogy and its educational value according to Maria Montessori. Additionally, the article reviews the implementation of nature-based learning activities as an integral part of the educational work in Montessori schools. In this educational stream, nature-related work stands as the main methodical means for early childhood education and supporting the development of children. Nature in itself serves as a kind of special resonance and restorative effect that can help children understand the world and impart meaning to their lives. Subsequently, recommendations for nature-based practices that can be applied in preschools were presented in light of the Montessori philosophy.

VARIATIONS IN RHETORICAL MOVES AND METADISCOURSE ELEMENTS IN CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS: A GENRE ANALYSIS
Authors: Obeng Benedicta , Wornyo Albert Agbesi , Hammond Christiana
Published: March 2023

An abstract represents the summary of a piece of writing. Genre and metadiscourse analytical studies could highlight move variations in abstracts. The study aimed to investigate variations in the academic conference abstracts of the hard and soft sciences with a focus on rhetorical structure/sequence and the use of hedges/boosters. A corpus of sixty (60) abstracts was used for the study; this comprised 30 abstracts each from the soft sciences and the hard sciences. The abstracts were selected from two conference proceedings. The framework of rhetorical moves for abstracts comprising introduction (I), purpose (P), method (M), product (Pr), and the conclusion was used for the analysis of the rhetorical sequence of the abstracts. The abstracts were further analysed for their use of boosters and hedges. From the results, 43.3% of hard sciences abstracts (HSA) and 33.3% of soft science abstracts (SSA) followed the framework used. Furthermore, purpose, method, product, and conclusion were obligatory moves whereas the introduction move was optional in the SSA. On the other hand, only method and product moves were obligatory with the rest being conventional in SSA. The most dominant move sequence for HSA was I-P-M-Pr-C (46.7%) followed by I-M-Pr-C (17%) and I-P-M-Pr (17%) whereas P-M-Pr-C (43.3%) was the most dominant sequence followed by I-P-M-Pr-C (33.3%) for the SSA. The hard sciences abstracts and the soft sciences abstracts do not show marked differences in the authors’ use of boosters and hedges. Pedagogical implications of the findings of this study are useful particularly for academic conference applicants, academic writing instruction as well as advancing genre and metadiscourse research in conference abstracts.

PROPERTIES OF ENGLISH AND MACEDONIAN NEWS HEADLINES / ОСОБЕНОСТИТЕ НА АНГЛИСКИТЕ И МАКЕДОНСКИТЕ НОВИНАРСКИ НАСЛОВИ
Authors: Kochan Asude Abdul
Published: March 2023

This paper presents the results of our analysis of the linguistic features of news headlines in English and Macedonian written media. News headlines are considered to be the most prominent segment of the news discourse. A headline is intended to provide the topic of the news article in such a way that the reader chooses to read the article. Due to the limited space, the headlines are subject to journalistic rules for conciseness and telegraphic transmission of the message. Therefore, they employ a special kind of language characterized by specific properties which enable the author of a given news article to achieve the desired communicative function: to inform the reader about an event in a concise and effective way. The analysis of headlines is conducted on the sample of examples collected from leading newspapers in English and Macedonian languages. The goal of the paper is to describe and compare the grammatical and lexical features of news headlines in both languages. 

Во овој труд ги претставуваме резултатите на анализата на лингвистичките особености на новинарските наслови во англиските и македонските печатени медиуми. Новинарските наслови се сметаат за најистакнат дел на дискурсот на новинарските написи. Нивната цел е да ја претстават темата на новинарскиот напис на начин на кој ќе го привлечат интересот на читателот за да го прочита написот. Поради ограниченоста на просторот, новинарските наслови се подложни на новинарските правила за концизност и телеграфско пренесување на пораката. Од таа причина, при нивното составување се употребува посебен вид јазик кој се карактеризира со специфичности кои му овозможуваат на авторот на одредениот новинарски напис да ја постигне саканата комуникативна функција: на концизен и ефектен начин да го информира читателот за настанот. Оваа анализа на наслови е спроведена на корпус од примери собрани од водечки весници од англиското и македонското говорно подрачје. Целта на истражувањето е да ги опише и спореди граматичките и лексичките особености на новинарските наслови во двата јазика.

THE EFFECTS OF AGE, PRESENTATION MODE (ONLINE, OFFLINE), AND SEGMENTATION OF AMBIGUOUS SENTENCES ON ATTACHMENT PREFERENCES OF FEMALE EFL LEARNERS
Authors: Mardani Mahdi , Modarres Mandana
Published: March 2023

One kind of structural ambiguity is in sentences including two determiner phrases (DP) that are followed by a relative clause (RC). One example of this type of ambiguity is "Somebody shot the servant of the actress who was on the balcony". Speakers of different languages attribute RC either to DP1 or DP2. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between participants' age and participants' attachment preferences, as well as different ways of presenting the material (i.e., offline vs. online) on the attachment preferences. This study also aims to see if the segmentation of experimental sentences plays any role in participant attachment preferences. To this end, a sample of 50 female native speakers of Persian ranging between 15 to 25 years participated in this study. The instruments used in the present research include an offline sentence acceptability judgment test and main tests that included the first main test, offline test, online complete presentation (timed), and an online segment-by-segment sentence. For the analysis of data t-tests and ANOVA were used. The statistics showed that participants' age affects attachment preferences, and adolescents have a tendency toward DP1 selection. Different modes of presenting ambiguous sentences also affected the results; presenting materials in a self-paced online method leads to a significant difference other two modes. Finally, segmentation plays a role in the attachment preference of RC and in resolving ambiguous sentences. The results showed that students had a preference for segmented presentation rather than a holistic mode of presentation.

USE OF GROUP WORK ACTIVITIES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PERFORMANCE OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Salvaña Jestoni E. , Potane Joel D.
Published: March 2023

To exercise using the target language, users must engage in interactive activities that enable them to exchange ideas with one another. The study concentrated on the effective use of group work activities as a teaching strategy in English instruction. This study included two sections of Grade 8 junior high school students from Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Comparing the level of difference in pre- and post-test performance between students exposed to group work activities (the experimental group) and those who were not (the control group), a quasi-experimental design was used. Both groups received the same eight (8) learning competencies in a one-month period. In this study, descriptive statistics and inferential analysis, such as the Z-test, were used to determine whether a significant difference was found between the means of the two groups. The findings revealed that group work activities or cooperative learning as an intervention and learning approach for students were effective in improving learning, and the data demonstrating their positive attitudes toward its use in classes illustrated their interest in interaction among their classmates while engaging in language use. As a result, English teachers are encouraged to use cooperative learning to engage students while they authentically communicate in the language.

MANAGEMENT DES SERVICES D’ORIENTATION PAR LES CONSEILLERS PRINCIPAUX ET EXPLOITANTS POUR LES CONSEILLERS D’ORIENTATION AFFECTES DANS LES ECOLES SECONDAIRES CONVENTIONNEES CATHOLIQUES DE LA VILLE DE KINSHASA, RÉPUBLIQUE DÉMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO / MANAGEMENT OF GUIDANCE SERVICES BY SENIOR COUNSELORS AND OPERATORS FOR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ASSIGNED TO CONVENTIONED CATHOLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF KINSHASA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
Authors: Wansondela John Diongo
Published: March 2023

Nos différentes descentes dans des écoles secondaires de la ville de Kinshasa où sont affectés des Conseillers d’orientation nous ont permis de nous rendre compte que ces derniers témoignaient d’une certaine défaillance dans l’exercice de leur profession. Aussi, avons-nous tenu d’amorcer une recherche devant nous permettre d’être éclairé sur le vrai problème auxquels sont confrontés ces animateurs des services d’orientation à l’école. Notre démarche a consisté à nous renseigner auprès de ces Conseillers d’orientation sur ce qu’ils pensent du management de leurs chefs hiérarchiques directes, à savoir, les Conseillers Principaux et les Conseillers Exploitants. En nous servant de la technique de l’interview semi-dirigée, nous sommes parvenu par le contact établi avec 88 Conseillers d’orientation, à collecter des données. Après leur analyse et discussion, les résultats ont relevé qu’un bon nombre des Conseillers d’orientation apprécient de manière équivoque les activités de management de services d’orientation exercées par les Conseillers Principaux et les Conseillers Exploitants. Ce qui, à notre avis, nécessite que soient revisitées les modalités d’accès à la fonction des Conseillers Principaux et des Conseillers Exploitants pour apporter un nouvel dynamisme à l’exercice de la fonction du Conseiller d’orientation à l’école. 

Our various visits to secondary schools in the city of Kinshasa where guidance counselors are assigned have enabled us to realize that the latter showed a certain failure in the exercise of their profession. Also, we wanted to initiate research to enable us to be enlightened on the real problem faced by these animators of guidance services at school. Our approach consisted in finding out from these Guidance Counselors what they think of the management of their direct line managers, namely, the Principal Counselors and the Operating Counsellors. By using the technique of the semi-directed interview, we managed through the contact established with 88 guidance counselors to collect data. After their analysis and discussion, the results revealed that a good number of Guidance Counselors unequivocally appreciate the guidance service management activities carried out by the Principal Counselors and Operating Counsellors. This, in our opinion, requires that the terms of access to the function of Principal Advisors and Operating Advisors be revisited to bring new dynamism to the exercise of the function of Guidance Counselor at school.

SOME THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ISSUES ABOUT THE INSTITUTION OF PUBLIC SERVICE ETHICS IN VIETNAM TODAY
Authors: Trang Nguyen Thı Mınh
Published: March 2023

Public service ethics is a scientific category belonging to philosophy, related to the public service activities of a state. Each state has its own regulations on public service ethics and has a different institution of public service ethics. In Vietnam, the institution of civil service ethics is increasingly progressive and complete with relatively complete and clear regulations. However, these regulations are still expressed sporadically and inconsistently in many legal documents such as the Law on cadres and civil servants; Law on public employees; Law on anti-corruption, etc. In fact, the legal regulations on public service ethics and the actual situation of strictly handling violations of public service ethics for the past time have created a great deterrent to public service enforcers; and at the same time contribute to curbing and preventing corrupt acts. This article introduces the elements constituting the institution of public service ethics; the actual situation of organizing the implementation of the institution of civil service ethics in Vietnam and proposes solutions..

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE PROGRAM DECISION-MAKING: A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON PROGRAM CHOICES AND SELECTION MECHANISMS
Authors: Rentzou Konstantina
Published: March 2023

Understanding parental ECEC choices and selection mechanisms receives increased attention at the research and policy level as ECEC decision-making has important implications both for policy development and program design. The present study aimed at exploring the processes and mechanisms adopted by parents in Cyprus and in the Netherlands while deciding on and selecting an ECEC program for their child. Research results revealed that participants have opted to enroll their child for professional, socialization, learning and development reasons. Social networks and the internet were the primary sources of information about available programs. Turning to the criteria that matter most, instructional and structural characteristics received higher ratings. Most of the aspects of the decision-making process have been affected by whether parents were natives or immigrants. Results highlight that the decision-making process is a complex phenomenon and that parents need to tradeoff intrinsic or extrinsic characteristics while selecting an ECEC program.

TREATING MADNESS IN "GREAT ONES": SHAKESPEARE'S HAMLET AND KING LEAR
Authors: Dumitrašković Tatjana
Published: March 2023

In the Renaissance, the state of madness was associated with a state of uncontrolled and hysterical behaviour or prolonged inexplicable sadness. It was believed that the cause for such mental disorder was great suffering or sin. The theme of madness was popular in Shakespeare's plays. It had different importance depending on context. The theatre of Shakespeare's time showed the social strategies that started to be used in the treatment of the mad. Some scholars like Mackay and Salkeld argue that the madness of the powerful characters in Shakespeare's tragedies results from their conflict with political conditions in which they found themselves and explore special attempts the society made to take care of the mad. Analysing Shakespeare's Hamlet and King Lear, the paper shows disastrous effects of madness in "great ones" and explains how it is treated by the surrounding society. The madness of the powerful is interpreted as very much dangerous and able to cause great disaster in both inner-self and society in general. Shakespeare's Hamlet deals with the methods of closely observing and restricting the madness of the powerful. In King Lear, madness in people in power is unnoticed by the society around him. The mentally ill are not understood either through old symbolic ways of thought or through new scientific ways. Social institutions are presented as self-sufficient and greedy existing not to protect, but to exploit and destroy..

Published: March 2023

This study aimed to examine the effects of the 7Ps of marketing mix on the sales performance of an insurance company in Perak, Malaysia. The name of the insurance company is not revealed in this study because the management of the insurance company refused to give consent fearing a breach of data protection laws. Seven marketing mix variables were explored regarding their association and relationship with sales performance. The seven key factors are product, price, promotion, placement, people, process, and physical evidence. A self-administered survey was utilized to gather the data, and 101 participants participated in this study. Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to analyse the association and the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. Findings from this study indicated that two key elements of the marketing mix, price, and physical evidence, have a significant relationship with sales performance. In contrast, the results also indicated no significant relationships between the other marketing mix variables of product, place, promotion, people, and process with sales performance. Therefore, according to this study, price and physical evidence directly affected the sales performance of the insurance company in this study.

THE IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION: EXPLORING CHALLENGES OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN EUROPE AND THEIR IDENTITIES IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES
Authors: Otiso Richard Ondicho
Published: March 2023

Religious facilitation in immigrant integration will require that both immigrants and natives be in a neutral position whereby they will both accept adjustments to their normal religious routines. This prospect seems a solace to immigrants more than natives since with immigrants the change of their routines is something they can quickly harmonize with by the fact that they are away from their homeland. In this study, I explore the challenges faced by religious minorities in Europe and the impact of these challenges on their identities in their home countries. The study will examine the experiences of religious minority groups in European society and how their treatment by society and government affects their sense of self and connection to their home country. Additionally, this study will investigate the role of religion in shaping the identities of minority individuals and communities. The findings of this study will provide insight into the complex relationship between religion, identity, and belonging for minority groups in Europe and contribute to the larger conversation on diversity and inclusion in the region.

The Gamelan Metaverse Project is a project for creating the Virtual Reality Metaverse Gamelan application with an Agile Scrum framework that aims to educate people about gamelan and how to play it. This project was carried out by apprentices from PT Arutala, which consisted of students from several universities in Yogyakarta. Project participants were asked to use a project management tool, Notion, in the hope of facilitating coordination and reducing miscommunication. The purpose of this study is to determine what factors influence apprentices' acceptance of Notion at PT Arutala, as well as how helpful the apprentices are when using Notion. This research will use the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model in analyzing Notion acceptance factors for PT Arutala apprentices. The author used the TAM model to investigate the variables that influenced the acceptance of Notion among the Arutala internship.The research used seven hypotheses in the TAM model to determine its level of acceptance, and found that all hypotheses had a positive relationship, with six of them are significant and one is not significant.These results was obtained by running path coefficient and t-stistic test on the TAM model that author used.This research  concludes that while the interns have acknowledged the benefits form using Notion, it requires time for them to incorporate its usage into their project management routine.

Authors: Dayton Dayton , Aklani Syaeful Anas
Published: March 2023

College life is a period where most students are required to live independently and begin to plan for their diet. Unfortunately, they commonly adopt poor dietary habits due to a lack of nutritional literacy. The lack of knowledge about healthy diets may potentially affect their health. This study aims to develop a meal planner iOS application that integrates daily calorie information and includes a machine learning-based meal recommendation feature. The application was built using Swift programming language along with Challenge Based Learning (CBL) framework. The application then was used to analyze the effectiveness usage of the meal planner mobile application using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study was conducted by distributing an online questionnaire to 360 university students in Batam City. Hypothesis testing was carried out through linear regression using SPSS 25 software. The results showed a positive impact of Perceived Ease of use toward Perceived Usefulness in using the meal planner application. Additionally, both Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of use also positively impact the Attitude Towards Using the meal planner application. The results of this study should be beneficial to the future developments of meal planner applications so that they can improve the nutritional literacy of students on living a healthy lifestyle and adopt new technologies for future research.

Peer level of animal proteins for Indonesians reach low level of consumption-per-capita (CPC), this low protein consumption is strongly associated with malnutrition. Supply and demand take a part in several studies, supply-side approval meets consumption needs. Herd size, livestock shed, and production efficiency impacting the land mass area and environment. Beef meat consumption is inherently dependent on several interlinked and dynamic system modelling. One such methodology like modelling interactive systems in multivariate impact will yield the greatest overall increase in beef supply consequently.  Using systems modelling tools, the researcher tries to simulate how beef consumption patterns are a dependent factor of several interrelationships with systems thinking. The alternative cluster structure is divided into 2 parts, tax policy and budget policy, which are the source of the budget scheme.

This descriptive-relational research used a survey. There were 210 Insurance Broker clients who answered the researcher’s made questionnaire. The statistical tools used were the weighted mean and Spearman’s Ro. The results showed that the level of awareness, the extent of utilization, and the level of satisfaction of the participants were high. The results also showed that there is still a need to enhance the level of awareness, the extent of utilization, and the level of satisfaction of the participants in terms of auto personal accident, 2,000 pesos deductible/participation, free acts of nature, household helpers, comprehensive general liability and 2% of total sum insured deductible/participation coverage. There was also a significant relationship between the level of awareness and the extent of utilization.

As pesquisas que envolvem a Educação em Ciências destacam a importância e real necessidade do desenvolvimento de práticas educativas que possam contribuir para uma transformação no cenário educacional e na sociedade. A Educação Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade - CTS, bem como a Educação do Campo defendem práticas que contribuem para uma formação integral dos sujeitos, rompendo as paredes e os muros escolares, de forma que os sujeitos possam influenciar e propor resolução de problemas nos diversos aspectos que envolvem a sua vivência na sociedade. Nesta dissertação, apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual buscamos identificar e discutir as concepções de Contextualização na Educação CTS e Educação do Campo, na área de ensino de Ciências. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão, que contou com a síntese dos trabalhos encontrados nos seguintes bancos de dados: Periódicos CAPES, Google Acadêmico e SciELO Brasil, publicados entre os anos de 2007 e 2020. A justificativa desse recorte temporal advém do ano de criação dos primeiros cursos de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo no Brasil, em 2007 - os chamados cursos pioneiros. Quanto aos descritores utilizados no processo de busca, definimos os mesmos para todos os bancos de dados acessados: i) Contextualização “e” Educação CTS; ii) Contextualização “e” Educação do Campo; iii) Contextualização e Cotidiano; iv) Educação do Campo “e” Cotidiano “e” Estudo da Realidade; v) Contextualização e Cotidiano. Na etapa de análise dos trabalhos selecionados, buscamos sintetizar as concepções de contextualização, utilizando, para tanto, a metassíntese qualitativa. A partir da discussão desse material, concluímos e identificamos duas concepções centrais de contextualização no ensino de Ciências que perpassa a Educação do Campo e a Educação CTS: i) Contextualização como possiblidade de ensino- aprendizagem para além do currículo; ii) Contextualização como princípio pedagógico – Sentido social da aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Contextualização. Ensino de Ciências. Educação do Campo. Educação CTS.
