Selpriani, 2023. The issue of equal education is an issue that has been addressed by various countries to improve the quality of human life. However, the approach that has been taken so far emphasizes the point of view that equality education is an effort to resolve the residue of formal education. This view in current conditions is no longer appropriate, because advances in information and communication technology make it possible for people to learn anytime and anywhere. The position of equal education must be on par with formal education, that is, they both provide services for the educational rights of citizens. This is in line with the mandate of the Indonesian constitution, that every citizen has the right to education. It is hoped that PBL with the help of audio visuals can reveal 1) How students' learning outcomes improve on the material of proclaiming the kingdom of God through the person of Jesus, 2) What are the inhibiting and supporting factors for increasing student learning outcomes on the material of proclaiming the kingdom of God through the person of Jesus, 3) What efforts are being made by Catholic religious education teachers to overcome obstacles in improving student learning outcomes using material proclaiming the kingdom of God through the person of Jesus. This Class Action Research Report aims to 1) To improve student learning outcomes using problem based learning on the material of proclaiming the kingdom of God through the person of Jesus, 2) To find out the inhibiting and supporting factors in improving student learning outcomes using problem based learning on the material of proclaiming the kingdom of God through the person Jesus, 3) To determine the efforts that can be made by Catholic Religious Education Teachers to overcome obstacles in improving student learning outcomes using the problem based learning model on the material of proclaiming the kingdom of God through the person of Jesus. The object of the research is that Problem Based Learning (PBL) assisted by audio visuals can improve student learning outcomes. The form of this research is classroom action research with a cyclical model, each cycle consists of four stages, namely, planning, implementing actions, observing and reflecting. At the observation stage, the researcher collects data by observing student activities guided by the Pancasila Student Profile rubric (P3) through the use of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model with audio visual assistance. The observation results from 13 students in Cycle I averaged 69.5%, and in Cycle II increased to an average of 82.13%. From this increase, it can be seen that it is 12.73% higher than before.

Times are always changing, so education should be carried out in accordance with the demands of these changes. If education is not adapted to changing times, the results will be outdated. Graduates will not be able to adapt. The Merdeka Curriculum is a concrete example of how change and innovation in education seeks to answer future challenges. In the context of the Independent Curriculum, Catholic religious and ethical education in Indonesia focuses on developing religious understanding, moral values ​​and Catholic spirituality for students. The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes six Pancasila student profiles. And in this classroom action research, the researcher focuses on the dimensions of critical reasoning. The problem is that educators are accustomed to using the lecture method, so that students are less actively involved in the learning process. Based on the problem conditions above, educators can provide learning experiences by designing Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning models. The aim of the research is to find out how the use of the PBL model in improving critical reasoning on the material of the Church as the People of God and the nature of the One Church contributes to improving the learning outcomes of students in class XI AKL 1 SMK PL Tarcisius Semarang. The type of research used is qualitative with a descriptive approach.

Good education is the main foundation for the progress of a nation. In the era of globalization and intensified competition, the good education is the key to prepare the young generation to face the challenges of the future. Through the good education, young people are given the opportunity to develop their creative thinking, problem-solving and technological skills needed in the face of a rapidly changing world. Furthermore, good education is also an important pillar in a democratic system. Young people who receive a good education tend to have the ability to think critically, analyzing information, and participate actively in the political process. Recognising the importance of education, the Indonesian nation pays much more attention to the issue of education, even the objectives are increasingly refined. This is in accordance with the provisions contained in the preamble of the 1945 Constitution. Broadly speaking, education is an effort to educate the nation's life in order to become a whole human being with the spirit of Pancasila. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System also states as follows: "National education functions to develop abilities and form the character and civilisation of a dignified nation in order to educate the nation's life, aims to develop the potential of students to become human beings who are faithful and devoted to God Almighty, have noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and become democratic and responsible citizens". Realising how important the value of education is for human life, the researcher feels called to conduct research on educational issues that occur in the school where the researcher works as an educator, namely Saint John Catholic High School, BSD. This research was conducted to determine the extent to which the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model has an impact on the learning process at Saint John Catholic School High School both in activity and student learning outcomes.  This process will be conducted in two stages, namely cycle I and cycle II. In each cycle there will be four steps: action planning, action implementation, observation and reflection. The implementation of cycle I ended with a reflection that showed that student activity and student learning outcomes had not yet achieved results in accordance with the minimum standards set. The reflection carried out in cycle I is the basis for evaluation for improvement in the action process in cycle II. In the process of class action in cycle II, the results were known to be very good, thus the action process stopped in cycle II. The satisfactory results in cycle II are the basis for making the conclusion that the application of problem-based learning models is very suitable for improving learning activities and learning outcomes of Saint John Catholic School grade XI students.

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar o discurso sobre a Pessoa com Deficiência e a Educação Inclusiva, buscando considerar as diferentes posições-sujeito ocupadas pela Pessoa com Deficiência, ao longo da história, sua identificação, contraidentificação ou desidentificação, observando, a formação discursiva onde se inscreve. As análises terão como corpus textos normativos e regramentos da educação especial, bem como outros documentos que façam referência à Pessoa com Deficiência no espaço educacional. O atendimento educacional da Pessoa com Deficiência é um tema que tem recebido, nas últimas décadas, um número crescente de atos normativos e regulamentadores, tais como: leis, decretos, resoluções, pareceres e notas técnicas, como demostrado na segunda seção deste artigo.  Na seção em questão, buscamos demostrar, mesmo que de forma sucinta, o percurso histórico do atendimento dispensado ao público da educação especial, amparado na forma-sujeito, Formação Discursiva Clínico-Terapêutica, que nem sempre se mostra transparente na materialidade do discurso. E, contraidentificando-se, temos a posição do sujeito surdo, que resiste à primeira posição-sujeito, a partir de outra formação discursiva, que, neste caso, nominamos Formação Discursiva Social. Como sustentação teórica e analítica, recorremos à Análise de Discurso de linha Francesa, proposta por Michel Pêcheux, e consideramos de forma destacada, os conceitos de posição-sujeito, formação discursiva, memória discursiva e interdiscurso.

Sustainable development has become evident in both the public and private sectors, requiring greater engagement from organizations and their members in policies and programs related to environmental issues. Therefore, the objective of this article is to evaluate the perception of the staff of the Women's Secretariat of the state of Pernambuco regarding the socio-environmental actions proposed in the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration (A3P). This is a case study, with data collected through the application of a structured questionnaire to 25 public agency employees. The results indicate that the employees perceive low applicability of A3P, given the existence of specific actions that focus on the axis of proper waste management and on the axis of sustainable procurements. The research reveals that there is little communication about the existence of A3P in the Women's Secretariat and that the lack of awareness-raising and capacity-building actions for the employees hinders the implementation of all the axes of A3P. It is concluded that adherence to A3P must be accompanied by systematic implementation, with effective awareness-raising and communication at all levels of the organization.

Published: November 2023

O contexto deste artigo despontou a partir da realização de um curso de extensão “A formação do professor que ensina Matemática a partir da construção do pensamento algébrico e do letramento matemático em turmas dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental" promovido pelo Grupo de Estudo e Pesquisa Tecendo Redes Cognitivas de Aprendizagem (G-TERCOA/CNPq/FACED/UFC). Nesse contexto, percebe-se que há uma problemática a qual corrobora de modo significativo para a necessidade da formação de professores que ensinam matemática à luz da BNCC: os professores desconhecem o conceito sobre letramento matemático e metodologias que facilitem ensinar a matemática nessa perspectiva. Objetivou-se apresentar as contribuições do Letramento Matemático e a metodologia de ensino Sequência Fedathi para a formação continuada de professores que ensinam matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Quanto à metodologia, é de abordagem qualitativa, de natureza exploratória, do tipo estudo de caso. Fundamenta-se em autores que dialogam sobre letramento matemático, formação continuada de professores e Sequência Fedathi. Consideramos que esses resultados demonstram a complementaridade entre o letramento matemático e a SF, quando em seus resultados mostram o rompimento de um paradigma vigente, no caso o ensino tradicional. Ambos têm em comum a proposta de ensino pautada num processo dialógico entre professor e aluno, onde esse aluno é estimulado à pesquisa, à reflexão e à elaboração de um conhecimento crítico, levando em consideração o seu contexto histórico-cultural.

Human motor behaviour. An outline of a system-theoretical approach.
Authors: Petryński Wacław
Published: November 2023

The author presents a system-theoretical approach (STA) to the issue of the construction and control of motor operations in humans. It is based on the theory of Nikolai Bernstein, who developed a neurophysiological model called the ‘brain skyscraper’, of a systemic nature. Taking it as a model, a functional equivalent of a skyscraper, a modalities’ ladder, was developed. The common denominator of both these mental structures is the system-theoretical basis for the construction and control of motor operations in humans. The science of human motor behaviour – anthropokinetics – eludes mathematical description and explanation, which works well in physics. STA, however, seems to be a promising method of revealing specific aspects of anthropokinetics. This is one of the possible perspectives that allows us to analyse such a multifaceted and complex problem as human motor behaviour, which is the only observable manifestation of any mental activity. This is probably the greatest intellectual challenge for all modern science. STA is an original method of thinking about human motor behaviour, which probably reveals its specific aspects and thus may contribute to a better understanding of anthropokinetics. It also enables the construction of an original, novel family tree of science as a whole.

Authors: SINGH D , SWARNKAR C P
Published: November 2023

A study on comparative impact (in terms of worm profile and flock performance) of two schemes of worm management in naturally infected sheep flocks was made in arid Rajasthan. During the period from May 2004 to March 2012, sheep(8415) were monitored for gastrointestinal strongyles by examining 24,310 faecal samples as well as for production performance of flock. The monthly incidence and intensity of strongyle nematodes remained almost similar among flocks given either strategic (one drench/annum) or conventional (3 drenches/annum) anthelmintic treatment. The epidemiological profile exhibited higher magnitude of infection only during monsoon (June-October). The data on flock performance exhibited that reduction in anthelmintic frequency in strategic scheme as against conventional scheme had no adverse effect on flock performance and yields better financial return to farmers. The result reflected the value and success of single drench schedule (strategic scheme) for the effective management of predominant gastrointestinal nematodes in field flocks of arid Rajasthan which is based on systematically gathered epidemiological information.

Published: November 2023

Pregnancy associated glycoprotein-1, a member of the aspartic proteinase family possesses placentogenic and embryo protective functions in numerous domestic species. The present study was conducted to deduce binding and interaction properties of buffalo pregnancy associated glycoprotein-1 (PAG-1) in silico. Buffalo PAG-1 DNA, RNA binding sites deduced using BindN server revealed buffalo PAG-1 protein sequence possess 93 residues with 80% and 56.96% DNA binding specificity and sensitivity, respectively. RNA binding sites are also restricted to identical clusters of amino acid residues as DNA binding sites with 78 residues with RNA binding potential with 80% specificity and 53.95% sensitivity. The potential domains with a high degree of DNA and RNA binding property are present at conserved microsequences residues of buffalo PAG-1 protein sequence. Ligand binding properties from PDBSUM database reveal buffalo PAG-1 possesses ten clefts having potential ligand binding sites consisting of aliphatic and positive amino acid residues. Analysis with the STRING database showed buffalo PAG-1 interaction with cytokines viz. phosphoprotein associated with glycosphingolipid microdomains 1, placenta growth factor precursor, alpha-fetoprotein precursor and SP1 transcription factor. These factors are found to be active during the embryonic stage exerting their functions through angiogenesis, endothelial cell growth, proliferation, migration and differentiation. In conclusion this study reports the various binding properties and putative functional interactions of buffalo pregnancy associated glycoprotein-1 with other cytokines for exerting its biological action.

Berari is recently recognized as 23rd goat breed of India with accession number INDIA_GOAT_1100_BERARI_0623. The Berari goat, a breed of central region of India (Vidarbha region of Maharashtra), is low yielding prolific meat breed thriving well in tropical wet and dry climate. The data were collected on 1,232 Berari goats from 353 farmers spread over 82 villages of 25 Talukas of 11 district of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and also from college farms. The average daily milk yield of Berari goats is 533.28 g/day with a total lactation yield of 78 kg in 130 days of lactation, while age at first conception is 10 to 11 months. The breed is having a good prolificacy i.e. 57% twinning, 2% triplets/quadruplets. The coat colour of Berari goat ranges from dark tan to light tan. Horns were noticed in both the sexes and were straight, orientation of horn was mostly found as upward-backward. All the Berari goat had pendulous (drooping), flat and leafy ear and convex forehead. Majority of Berari goats (98%) did not have beard and wattle and does had bowl shaped udder (89%) with conical teat shape and pointed teat tip. The mean chest girth, body length, height at wither, paunch girth, horn length, ear length and tail length for adult animals (above 2 years of age) measured 73.3, 63.1, 71.3,76.2, 9.6, 15.7 and 13.7 cm, respectively. The body weights in male and female at 1-2 years of age were 27.4 and 24.1 kg and that of adult goats 34.5 and 27.3 kg, respectively. On the basis of body measurements and body weights the Berari goat was decided as medium size goat. Light to dark strip on lateral sides from base of horn to nostrils, black colour ring around neck in adult male, and black hair line along with the vertebral column extending up to tail in both sexes was observed as unique characteristic in Berari goat.

Major histocompatibility complex molecules play a major role in immunological defense against pathogens. Polymorphism of bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA) DQA1 gene is being intensively investigated for potential association with economically important diseases of cattle. Accordingly, we investigated the association of DQA1 Exon 2 polymorphism as evidenced by the variation in the binding pockets with variability in immune response to inactivated trivalent (O, A and Asia1) foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccine in a closed population of crossbred cattle. Antibody titer of >1.8 was set as the cutoff value to distinguish the protected (> 1.8) and unprotected (<1.8) animals. Eleven different alleles of over 1% frequency were detected in the population. Allele *0102 occupied highest rank followed by *10011 and *1402 for protective immune response while the allele *1401 ranked lowest for unprotected immune response for all the 3 serotypes. The correlation coefficient (ρ) of overall rank with individual ranks of serotype O, A, and Asia1 was also high in magnitude and positive. The rank correlations were statistically significant for all the serotypes except between O and Asia. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the effect of DQA1 alleles was nonsignificant on vaccine elicited immune response based on Wald statistics. However, it is evident that odds of protection is high [Exp (β)>1] for a good proportion of DQA1 alleles in a given serotype. The knowledge has potential implications in future selection programmes if integrated with the complete BoLA haplotype details and production traits of the herd.

The maximum yield, water use efficiency, B:C ratio were observed under treatment I1M2 (80% ETc + Grass mulch). Therefore, adopting drip irrigation with mulching can contribute to increasing irrigated area and enhancing yield potential of French bean in the mid hill zone of Himachal Pradesh.
Kinsarvik i Hardanger – byen som aldri blei til
Authors: Loftsgarden Kjetil
Published: November 2023

In the High Middle Ages Kinsarvik in Hardanger was ideally situated as a hub, where iron and other outfield resources flowed from the eastern inland regions to the more populous coastal areas to the west. Archaeological finds, building remains, written sources and previous investigations show Kinsarvik as an urban marketplace, with production and regional and interregional trade, as well as a place with administrative and political functions. Comparable to the more well-known marketplace Kaupanger in Sogn. 

The location, as well as finds and structures, indicates that non-agrarian resources from the mountainous settlements to the east were a major foundation for Kinsarvik as a marketplace. A consequence being that, from the late 13th century, when there is a significant decrease in iron production and other outfield resources, Kinsarvik as an urban marketplace looses much of its basis for existence and gradually goes out of use.

For biomedicine, "death is the irreversible loss of the capacity and content of the consciousness that provides the essential attributes of the human being and that integrate the functioning of the organism as a whole". Until well into the 19th century, the organ that determined a person's death was the heart. If the heart stopped beating, death had won the battle; however, with the advance of medicine, other signs are considered to declare a person dead. Among these biological signs are the cessation of brain function, breathing, blood circulation and when the heart stops beating. Doctors affirm that a brain-dead person manifests the absence of movements, repeated grimaces, incessant blinking, not responding to light and not breathing independently. To conclude with this essay, we must recognize the importance for us as health professionals who evidence death in our daily lives to be aware of the concept of death since this allows us to articulate the attitudes that are socially assumed in front of it and in general, with the social game; and, at the same time, how this practice favours that awareness and know how different cultures, societies and religions face death, in order to be able to be nurses with an intercultural vision about death.
Ocupación de tierras y re-territorialización campesina. Disputas frente a la configuración del sistema Agroalimentario en Paraguay (1990-2020)
Authors: Kretschmer Regina , Hocsman Luis Daniel
Published: November 2023

En este artículo presentamos un análisis de las disputas territoriales frente al nuevo sistema agroalimentario en Paraguay, focalizando en la estrategia de ocupación de tierra en los últimos 30 años. Estas se han convertido en una acción colectiva masiva desde la década de los noventa, gracias a la cual se construyeron territorios campesinos; ante la negación de los gobiernos de encarar una reforma agraria. Las transformaciones provocadas por las políticas globales de tierra y la configuración del nuevo sistema agroalimentario no sólo han profundizado las disputas territoriales, sino también, provocado nuevas cartografías de luchas sociales con lenguajes de valorización de los bienes comunes.
En primer lugar, señalamos las características y particularidades de la cuestión agraria en Paraguay, luego analizamos las ocupaciones considerándolas como parte de un proceso de la lucha por la tierra. En un país donde la actividad económica se centra en la producción primaria, con el 94 % de la tierra de uso agrícola utilizada por el agronegocio, el 2,6 % de los propietarios concentra el 85,5% de las tierras, y el 91,4 % de la población campesina dispone del 6% de la superficie agrícola.
Transformações agrárias, agricultura camponesa e mercados agroalimentares em Alto Paraná (Paraguai)
Authors: Wesz Junior Valdemar João
Published: November 2023

O departamento de Alto Paraná (Paraguai), marcado pela concentração e estrangeirização da terra, tem na agricultura camponesa de origem paraguaia um grupo social numericamente expressivo, que historicamente enfrentou dificuldades para acessar aos mercados agroalimentares. Diante disso surge, em 1997, a Central de Produtores Hortigranjeiros Feirantes de Alto Paraná, em Ciudad del Este, sendo um importante espaço de venda da produção camponesa no departamento. Este artigo procura apresentar esse mercado, bem como destacar a sua relevância em um departamento com as características de Alto Paraná. Em termos metodológicos, além de revisão bibliográfica e sistematização de dados secundários, foram feitas visitas à Central, conversando com diferentes produtores e consumidores. Também foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com três agricultores dirigentes da feira, além da visita à duas comunidades camponesas que participam deste mercado. Os resultados apontam que, ao longo dos anos, a Central cresceu e passou a atender um grande número de agricultores e de consumidores, oferecendo uma variada gama de produtos agropecuários oriundos do próprio departamento. Apesar dos desafios que precisam ser superados, é uma experiência que tem potencializado a permanência e o desenvolvimento da agricultura camponesa em Alto Paraná, algo vital em um território pouco amistoso para com esse grupo social.

This study aimed to analyze  the influence of price perception and WOM on customer satisfaction through purchasing decisions at FamilyMart Gran Rubina. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 200 respondents, using accidental sampling and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through PLS version 3.0 software. The results showed that price perception significantly influenced customer satisfaction, price perception significantly influenced purchasing decisions, WOM significantly influenced customer satisfaction, WOM significantly influenced purchasing decisions, and purchasing decisions also had a direct and significant influence on customer satisfaction. The indirect effects of price perception on customer satisfaction through purchasing decisions were found to be positive, as well as the indirect effects of WOM on customer satisfaction through purchasing decisions were found to be positive.
Understanding Sustainability and FAIRness of Research Software
Authors: Feitosa Daniela , von Flach Christina , Costa Joenio
Published: November 2023

The increasing use of research software has urged the scientific community to discuss its sustainability, FAIRness, and ability to support the reproduction of studies by independent researchers. In this paper, we present the results of an exploratory study conducted with a research group in Applied Physics, whose researchers historically developed most of their research software. We analyzed the sustainability and FAIRness of one research software developed by the group and reported the results. Our study allowed us to broaden our understanding of evaluating sustainability and FAIRness, and related challenges, to support future evaluations of research software.
Tactics of Refinement
Authors: Oliveira Marcel , Cavalcanti Ana
Published: November 2023

The refinement calculus is a modern technique of formal program development. Its application, however, may lead to long and repetitive developments. In this paper we present a language to write refinement tactics, and present examples of useful tactics. They encompass the application of several refinements laws, but can be user as a single transformation rule. Using tactics is not a novel idea, but apparently, in the context of refinement the only existing work uses Prolog as a tactic language. Our language does not depend of any programming language or tool. Also, we are not aware of any presentation of refinement strategies written in the form of tactics as we present here.
SEISMIC RESISTANCE OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS OF BUILDINGS
Authors: Akbarova Samira , Akbarli Reyhan
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The seismic resistance of a structure is ensured both by the choice of a seismically favorable construction site, and by the development of the most rational structural and planning schemes for the structure, special design measures that increase the strength and solidity of the supporting structures, creating the possibility of developing plastic deformations in structural elements and nodes, significantly increasing the resistance of structures to action seismic forces. Of great importance for improving the seismic resistance of structures is the high quality of building materials and works. This article outlines the general requirements for engineering systems of buildings under construction in earthquake-prone areas. Keywords: seismic resistance, engineering systems, earthquake-prone area, fastening pipelines
Of Ethics, Epistemology, and Humanity
Authors: Comaroff John ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2023

This essay offers a critical reading of Drucilla Cornell’s writings on the concept of ubuntu in South Africa, a country with which she had a deeply committed, complicated, ambivalent relationship. It explores her arguments for the contemporary relevance of this deeply rooted cultural concept—despite its appropriation and commodification at the hands of global market forces—not merely to the everyday life of Black South Africans but also for a transformative constitutionalism; a progressive jurisprudence, that is, addressed to the accomplishment of a more equal and ethical post-apartheid society. In so doing, it analyzes how Cornell, a playwright and philosopher committed to estranging the familiar, turned the skepticism of ubuntu redolent among white South African scholars and public intellectuals back on itself by rooting her argument for its continued significance in a combination of ethnographic discovery and the legal history of the present.
Den partiska omsorgen i elevrelationer
Authors: Norgren-Hansson Mimmi
Published: November 2023

This article delves into the dynamics of care within peer relationships, examining how care is expressed between the caregiver and the recipient of care, as well as their broader connections with others. Based on qualitative interviews with twelve pupils, this study investigates the experience of giving and receiving care, particularly in relation to partial friendships. The results uncover two key dimensions of care: internal care, which influences the motivation, understanding, reciprocity and continuity of care within the caregiver-recipient relationship, and external care, which extends beyond this relationship to encompass aspects such as social inclusion and support during conflicts. This research underscores the pivotal role of partiality in shaping the dynamics of care and raises questions about its implications within an educational environment. Furthermore, it contributes to the framework of care ethics, stimulating a philosophical discourse on the moral aspects of partiality in an educational context.
