Using the Novel Mortality-Prevalence Ratio to Evaluate Potentially Undocumented SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Correlational Study
Authors: Lin Sheng-Hsuan , Fu Shih-Chen , Kao Chu-Lan Michael
Published: December 2020

Background

The high prevalence of COVID-19 has resulted in 200,000 deaths as of early 2020. The corresponding mortality rate among different countries and times varies.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the mortality rate and prevalence of COVID-19 within a country.

Methods

We collected data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. These data included the daily cumulative death count, recovered count, and confirmed count for each country. This study focused on a total of 36 countries with over 10,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Mortality was the main outcome and dependent variable, and it was computed by dividing the number of COVID-19 deaths by the number of confirmed cases.

Results

The results of our global panel regression analysis showed that there was a highly significant correlation between prevalence and mortality (ρ=0.8304; P<.001). We found that every increment of 1 confirmed COVID-19 case per 1000 individuals led to a 1.29268% increase in mortality, after controlling for country-specific baseline mortality and time-fixed effects. Over 70% of excess mortality could be attributed to prevalence, and the heterogeneity among countries’ mortality-prevalence ratio was significant (P<.001). Further, our results showed that China had an abnormally high and significant mortality-prevalence ratio compared to other countries (P<.001). This unusual deviation in the mortality-prevalence ratio disappeared with the removal of the data that was collected from China after February 17, 2020. It is worth noting that the prevalence of a disease relies on accurate diagnoses and comprehensive surveillance, which can be difficult to achieve due to practical or political concerns.

Conclusions

The association between COVID-19 mortality and prevalence was observed and quantified as the mortality-prevalence ratio. Our results highlight the importance of constraining disease transmission to decrease mortality rates. The comparison of mortality-prevalence ratios between countries can be a powerful method for detecting, or even quantifying, the proportion of individuals with undocumented SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

It is unclear how people with hypertension are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic given their increased risk, and whether targeted public health strategies are needed.

OBJECTIVE

This retrospective case-control study compared people with hypertension to matched healthy controls during the COVID-19 lockdown to determine whether they have higher risk perceptions, anxiety, and vaccination intentions.

METHODS

Baseline data from a national survey were collected in April 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown in Australia. People who reported hypertension with no other chronic conditions were randomly matched to healthy controls of similar age, gender, education, and health literacy level. A subset including participants with hypertension was followed up at 2 months after restrictions were eased. Risk perceptions, anxiety, and vaccination intentions were measured in April and June.

RESULTS

Of the 4362 baseline participants, 466 (10.7%) reported hypertension with no other chronic conditions. A subset of 1369 people were followed up at 2 months, which included 147 (10.7%) participants with hypertension. At baseline, perceived seriousness was high for both hypertension and control groups. The hypertension group reported greater anxiety compared to the controls and were more willing to vaccinate against influenza, but COVID-19 vaccination intentions were similar. At follow-up, these differences were no longer present in the longitudinal subsample. Perceived seriousness and anxiety had decreased, but vaccination intentions for both influenza and COVID-19 remained high across groups (>80%).

CONCLUSIONS

Anxiety was above normal levels during the COVID-19 lockdown. It was higher in the hypertension group, which also had higher vaccination intentions. Groups that are more vulnerable to COVID-19 may require targeted mental health screening during periods of greater risk. Despite a decrease in perceived risk and anxiety after 2 months of lockdown restrictions, vaccination intentions remained high, which is encouraging for the future prevention of COVID-19.

Pengembangan Wanawisata Berbasis Apikultur Melalui Kuliah Kerja Nyata Tematik di Desa Darmakradenan Kecamatan Ajibarang Kabupaten Banyumas
Authors: Herliana Okti
Published: December 2020

Desa Darmakradenan merupakan salah satu desa di wilayah hutan dengan produktifitas petani yang masih rendah disebabkan pengasaan lahan sempit, jenis usaha tani kurang beragam, kurang teroganisasi dan lemahnya regenerasi. Pengelolaan lahan di kawasan hutan memerlukan teknologi yang tepat guna dengan pendekatan sosio-ekologis agar dapat mensejahterakan petani sekaligus tidak merusak fungsi hutan. Penerapan agroforestry berbasis apiculture merupakan salah satu stategi pengelolaan kawasan hutan secara berkelanjutan sebagaimana telah dilakukan oleh sebagian petani desa Darmnakradenan. Selain manfaat secara ekonomi, integrasi agroforestri dengan budidaya lebah juga bermanfaat secara ekologi mengingat peran lebah sebagai polinator. Kegiatan KKN tematik ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan ketrampilan dan kemandirian masyarakat desa Darmakradenan dalam mengelola kawasan hutan dengan menerapkan agroforestry berbasis apiculture dan secara profesional mengembangkannya menjadi komoditas pariwisata. Pendampingan masyarakat difokuskan pada bidang konservasi dan pengelolaan hutan, budidaya dan diversifikasi produk madu, keorganisasian petani kawasan hutan, dan pengembangan wisata. Metode yang dilakukan adalah PRA (Partisipatory Rural Appraisal) yaitu peran aktif pihak yang terlibat yaitu mahasiswa peserta KKN, masyarakat desa Darmakradenan dan Kelompok Tani Hutan Darma Jaya. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan jumlah petani yang tergabung dalam kelompok, peningkatan pemahaman petani tentang arti penting konservasi hutan, keterampilan budidaya tanaman hias, keterampilan membuat produk olahan dari madu, pengelolaan administsasi kelompok tani, dan terjadi koordinasi antar stakeholder untuk pengembangan pariwisata yang menghasilkan rekomendasi arah pengembangan pariwisata desa sebagai dasar pemerintah desa menyusun rencana pembangunan.
Designing a Rich Numeracy Task in Early Childhood Mathematics Education: Teaching Addition in a Kindergarten in Macao
Authors: Lei Huey , Hu Aihua
Published: December 2020

This paper presents an overview of the first cycle of collaborative action research of a kindergarten teacher who with the help of a university researcher, has designed a rich tool-based numeracy task for K3 children at a kindergarten in Macao. The rich numeracy task coupled with a tailor-made physical tool allows the children to investigate a model of addition with the manipulation of the critical selection of number cards by paying attention to a combination of corresponding numbers. Major data sources were documents, classroom observation, reflective dialogues between the two classroom teachers and with the university researcher. The results indicate that this rich tool-based task not only facilitates children’s numeracy development but also promotes the development of other domains, such as social and linguistic development. Mathematical concepts, such as sum of three single digit numbers, are prominently emerged in the implementation of the rich numeracy task. This first cycle illustrates that the purposive design of rich tasks, coupled with appropriate artefacts for kindergarten children, is beneficial for promoting children’s comprehensive development. It can also serve as an example to create rich numeracy tasks in early childhood mathematics education for kindergarten teachers to develop teaching strategies corresponding to the education reform in Macao.

Псориаз является хроническим воспалительным заболеванием с преимущественно аутоиммунным компонентом патогенеза. Являясь классическим пролиферативным дерматозом, псориаз может осложняться поражением ногтевых пластин и суставов. Распространенность поражений указывает на системный характер заболевания. Периодонтит также является хроническим воспалительным процессом, который поражает связочный аппарат зуба, десну и альвеолярную кость. Развитие болезней периодонта связано с периодонтопатогенными микрорганизмами, которые входят в состав микробной биопленки на поверхности зуба. Периодонтопатогенные микроорганизмы могут быть обнаружены на зубах пациентов, не имеющих признаков патологии периодонта. Взаимодействие между микроорганизмами биопленки и системой иммунитета организма является динамическим. На состав микробиоты влияет ряд местных факторов, однако системные факторы тоже оказывают существенное влияние. В последние несколько лет активно изучается взаимосвязь иммуноопосредованных системных воспалительных заболеваний с заболеваниями периодонта. Существует гипотеза, что системные воспалительные заболевания с нарушенной иммунорегуляцией могут оказывать влияние на развитие воспаления в периодонте. Предполагается, что некоторые системные заболевания способны модулировать воспаление тканей периодонта, посредством цитокинов активизируя остеокласты. Это приводит к ранней убыли альвеолярной кости. Состояние здоровья органов ротовой полости при псориазе мало изучено. Целью работы является анализ данных, указывающих на наличие потенциальных взаимосвязей между псориазом и периодонтитом.

Цель – изучить динамику CD3 - CD16 + CD56 + и CD3 + CD16 + CD56 + лимфоцитов у пациентов после трансплантации почки с удовлетворительной первичной функцией почечного трансплантата. Материал и методы. 197 реципиентам выполнена трансплантация почки. Все пациенты разделены на 3 группы. Первая группа (ПФТ, n=101) – пациенты с удовлетворительной первичной функцией трансплантата без эпизодов отторжения, вторая группа (ДФТ, n=82) – пациенты с первичной дисфункцией трансплантата без эпизодов отторжения, третья группа (ОПТ, n=14) – пациенты с первичной дисфункцией трансплантата и отторжением, верифицированным на основании биопсии почечного трансплантата. Группа сравнения (ГС) – 90 здоровых добровольцев. Функция трансплантата оценивалась по следующим критериям: первичная функция трансплантата характеризовалась при уровне креатинина на 7 сутки после операции ниже 300 мкмоль/л; при концентрации креатинина равной или превышающей 300 мкмоль/л и(или), при необходимости в проведении диализа на первой неделе после трансплантации состояние классифицировалось как дисфункция почечного трансплантата. Иммунологическое обследование проводилось на 1-е, 3-и, 7-е, 30-е и 90-е сутки после операции. Определяли уровень CD3 - CD16 + CD56 + и CD3 + CD16 + CD56 + лимфоцитов. Результаты. В группе ПФТ выявлено значимое преобладание с 3-х до 30-х суток абсолютного уровня NK только по сравнению с группой ОПТ. Относительный уровень NK был значимо выше в группе ПФТ по сравнению с группой ОПТ начиная с 30-х суток. Не выявлена связь относительного и абсолютного количества NK с уровнем креатинина на протяжении всего исследования. Выявлен значимый рост абсолютного и относительного показателя NKT с 30-х суток в группе ПФТ по сравнению с группами ДФТ и ОПТ. Обнаружена отрицательная связь абсолютного количества NKT с уровнем креатинина на 30-е и 90-е сутки и относительного количества данных лимфоцитов с уровнем креатинина на 90-е сутки. Заключение. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для иммунологического мониторинга в раннем посттрансплантационном периоде.

В последние десятилетия наибольший интерес вызывает метод лечения острых и хронических ран при помощи отрицательного давления. Среди биохимических показателей динамика содержания С-реактивного белка (СРБ) изучена недостаточна, неизвестна корреляция содержания СРБ при использовании физических методов лечения хронических ран. Цель – изучение определения содержания СРБ в сыворотке крови пациентов как объективного лабораторного критерия эффективности лечения пациентов с гнойно-некротической инфекцией мягких тканей различных локализаций при использовании вакуумной терапии. Материал и методы. В проспективном нерандомизированном обсервационном исследовании приняло участие 24 пациента. Для решения поставленной цели пациенты были разделены на группы: группа 1 – пациенты, у которых на фоне общего лечения проводилась вакуумная терапия (n=13); группа 2 – пациенты, у которых использовали традиционные методы лечения (n=11). У пациентов обеих групп проводили забор крови для определения содержания СРБ до операции, через 2 суток после операции и через 5 суток после операции. Результаты. На 1 этапе исследования содержание СРБ в сыворотке крови у пациентов составило 106,70 (29,12;184,17) мг/л, на 2 этапе наблюдалось незначительное уменьшение СРБ, что составило 41,13 (17,61;172,46) мг/л (р>0,05). На 3 этапе содержание СРБ уменьшилось по сравнению с этапом 1 и этапом 2 – 39,24 (8,31;94,32) мг/л (р=0,01). Уровень СРБ был равен на 1 этапе в группе 1 - 101,09 (30,59;206,99) мг/л, а в группе 2 – 112,3 (22,10;150,71) мг/л (р>0,05). Содержание СРБ на 2 этапе было равно: 33,50 (12,51;132,82) мг/л в группе 1 и 107,74 (31,36;177,75) мг/л в группе 2 (р>0,05). На 3 этапе уровень СРБ был равен: 13,88 (05,94;104,12) мг/л в группе 1 и 52,97 (18,28;97,00) мг/л в группе 2 (р<0,05). Заключение. Контроль содержания уровня С-реактивного белка в сыворотке крови является объективным лабораторным критерием эффективности лечения пациентов с гнойно-некротической инфекцией мягких тканей при использовании вакуумной терапии.

Published: December 2020

In this work, Pt(II) complexes of previously synthesized steroidal thiosemicarbazones were synthesized and characterized. The ligands and their metal complexes were studied by analytical and spectroscopic data (elemental analysis, IR, 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, COSY), the analysis of which enabled complete 1H and 13C assignments of each compound including E and Z isomers. All the synthesized ligands and complexes were screened for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity. The results demonstrate that the new steroidal thiosemicarbazone complexes were significantly less cytotoxic than the corresponding steroidal thiosemicarbazones. In addition, complexes showed lower antimicrobial activity than the standard drugs, similar to the activity of the starting thiosemicarbazones.
Driving Performance in the Retail and Banking Industries: The Consequences of Dysfunctional Management Control Systems at W. T. Grant and Wells Fargo
Authors: Heitger Allyson A. , Heitger Dan L. , Heitger Lester E.
Published: December 2020

Management control systems—strategy, performance measures, and incentives—play a vitally important role in the success or failure of organizations. As such, management control systems represent one of the foundational topics in managerial accounting. However, as the case illustrates, developing, implementing, and continuously enhancing a management control system to be effective often proves challenging. This case develops students' ability to critically assess interrelationships between these three management control system elements. In particular, students are immersed into two dysfunctional management control systems—one at W. T. Grant in the 1970s and the other at Wells Fargo in the 2010s—to highlight the complexities, challenges, and power of such systems to elicit both positive and negative behavioral and decisional impacts on employees, customers, regulators and, ultimately, shareholders. This case also increases students' interest in studying managerial accounting, as well as their realization of its importance to an organization's success or failure.

Published: December 2020

Objective

Increased healthcare utilization and costs have been reported in individuals
with diabetes with comorbid depression. Knowledge regarding cost differences
between individuals with diabetes alone and those with diabetes and diagnosed/undiagnosed
depression is however scarce. We therefore compared utilization and costs for patients
with diabetes and no depression and patients with diabetes and documented
depression diagnosis or self-reported depression symptoms for several cost
components, including mental healthcare costs.

Research Design and Methods

Data from a 2013 cross-sectional survey of randomly sampled members of a nationwide
German statutory health insurance (SHI) provider with diabetes (n=1,634) were linked
individually with SHI data covering four quarters before and after the survey. Self-reported
depression symptoms were assessed using the PHQ-9, with depression diagnosis
taken from SHI data. We analyzed healthcare utilization and costs, using
regression analysis to calculate cost ratios adjusted for sociodemographic/socioeconomic
factors and comorbidities for two groups: A) no symptoms, no diagnosis; B)
symptoms or diagnosis. Our explorative sub-analysis analyzed subgroups with
either symptoms or diagnosis separately.

Results

Annual mean total healthcare costs were higher for patients
with comorbid depression (€5,629 (95% CI: €4,987-€6,407)) than without (€3,252
(95% CI: €2,976-€3,675), the cost ratio being 1.25 (1.14-1.36)). Regression
analysis showed that excess costs were highly associated with comorbidities. Mental
healthcare costs were very low for patients without depression (€2/€4) and
still relatively low for those with depression (€111/€76).

Conclusions

Costs were significantly higher when comorbid
depression was present, either as symptoms or diagnosed. Excess costs for
mental-health services were rather low.
Análisis socioeducativo de la empatía por los números aplicado a 228 alumnos de la carrera de psicología del Centro Universitario de la Costa U. de G.
Authors: Vásquez Martínez Claudio Rafael , González González Felipe Anastacio
Published: December 2020

El objeto del presente trabajo fue analizar la empatía por los números de estudiantes de la carrera de Psicología del Centro Universitario de la Costa, Universidad de Guadalajara. La muestra estuvo constituida por 228 jóvenes escolarizados, de edades comprendidas entre los 21 y los 24 años, de los cuales 115 eran hombres y 113 mujeres. Los resultados demuestran que los alumnos no sienten empatía por los números debido a que no los entienden, son abstractos y se frustran al no saber realizar las operaciones. Esto ocasiona que abandonen la iniciativa de aprender matemáticas. Se concluye, por tanto, que si no se cambia esta percepción de frustración y miedo al realizar operaciones numéricas, los futuros egresados podrían desaprovechar los beneficios que ese conocimiento ofrece en la vida cotidiana.

Published: December 2020

Introducción. El conocimiento representa el activo intangible más importante de las organizaciones para impulsar la innovación y ventaja competitiva. La gestión del conocimiento se traduce en mayor eficiencia en el uso de recursos, mejor desempeño productivo y óptimos procesos innovadores. Objetivo. El propósito de la investigación es analizar la relación observada entre la gestión del conocimiento y la capacidad de innovación en instituciones de educación superior. La hipótesis central es que la gestión del conocimiento se relaciona positivamente con la capacidad de innovación. Método. Se desarrolló una investigación cuantitativa de tipo descriptivo, explicativo y confirmatorio. Establecido el problema de investigación y fundamentadas teóricamente las variables generación de conocimiento e innovación, se procedió al análisis de la relación existente entre ambos constructos. Se utilizaron herramientas de análisis estadístico descriptivo, factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. Para la modelación y prueba de hipótesis se aplicó análisis de ecuaciones estructurales. El universo de estudio fueron 77 instituciones de educación superior del sureste de México, donde laboraban 8603 personas. El tamaño de muestra fue de 441 trabajadores, y se determinó mediante muestreo probabilístico por conglomerados, asumiendo un error de muestreo de 5 %, nivel de confianza de 95 % y varianza de p = .50, q = .50. La información de campo se obtuvo mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario estructurado de 88 ítems en escala de Likert, el cual fue diseñado con base en los objetivos de investigación y en otros instrumentos utilizados en estudios similares, identificados durante la revisión de literatura. El cuestionario aplicado consta de tres secciones. En la primera, se ofrece información sobre el perfil sociodemográfico de los entrevistados. En la segunda se establece la escala de medición de la capacidad estructural de gestión del conocimiento, a partir de los constructos estructura, cultura, recursos humanos y tecnología. Finalmente, la tercer sección se orienta a identificar la capacidad de innovación presente en las instituciones de educación superior. Resultados. Se encontró que entre las variables analizadas existe un coeficiente de correlación de 0.921; una relación estimada de 1.267 y estandarizada de .96, y un valor p (0.000), lo que proporciona evidencias de la presencia de una relación positiva entre ambos constructos. Conclusiones. La gestión del conocimiento influye positivamente en la capacidad de innovación en las instituciones educativas de nivel superior estudiadas, con lo cual se confirma la hipótesis planteada.
Elite provincial, agentes da administração imperial e diretórios partidários
Authors: Gomes Sandro Aramis Richter
Published: December 2020

The article researches the appearance of dissent in the Conservative Party in the state of Santa Catarina in the early 1870s, and aims to advance the knowledge about the motives behind the disputes that had arisen within the monarchist parties in Brazil. The following arguments will be discussed: firstly, we point out that low-profile politicians led such dissent. The dissidents sought to remove from the local command of the party those members who had long held decisive positions therein. Secondly, we highlight that, at the time of the disputes, the conservative leaders of Santa Catarina were politically distanced from the president of the province. Such estrangement prevented these leaders from interfering in appointments for public positions. Thirdly, we stress that the end of conflict was made possible only after the interference of the Cabinet of ministers. During that time, it was thus not uncommon for agents of the imperial administration to participate in the internal life of the Conservative Party ofSanta Catarina.

Este ensaio tem como objeto de análise a institucionalização do Plea Bargaining nos Estados Unidos, no século XIX, e a adoção do acordo de não persecução penal no Brasil no século XXI. O estudo das origens, do desenvolvimento e da consolidação dos acordos no processo penal estadunidense tiveram razões históricas, explicações sociológicas e motivações institucionais que podem servir como ponto de partida para uma reflexão sobre as possibilidades e os limites da justiça negocial no Brasil contemporâneo. Por um lado, a ampla adoção de acordos entre a acusação e a defesa podem ter um impacto positivo sobre a ineficiência, morosidade, os custos, a sobrecarga processual e a insuficiência de juízes que são características negativas da justiça brasileira desde o período colonial. Por outro lado, a recepção do acordo enfrenta uma resistência do Poder Judiciário e da advocacia semelhante ao receio de perda de poder e de mercado nos Estados Unidos do século XIX.
D. ISABEL MARIA DE BRAGANÇA: REGENTE DE PORTUGAL ENTRE D. PEDRO E D. MIGUEL
Authors: Carolina Galante Delmas Ana
Published: December 2020

As infantas filhas de D. João VI e D. Carlota Joaquina tiveram suas vidas esquecidas pela historiografia e têm permanecido no limiar do ostracismo. Dentre os acontecimentos das trajetórias políticas das seis infantas, a regência de D. Isabel Maria (1826 a 1828) pode ser considerada o ponto alto da história de tais princesas. Seu papel no governo de Portugal teve início com a morte do pai e foi marcado pelas disputas entre D. Pedro e D. Miguel pelo posto. A quarta filha do casal de soberanos auxiliou D. João como secretária em suas funções políticas e, enquanto regente, buscou assegurar o trono para o irmão D. Pedro, tendo, mais tarde, supostamente se voltado para o outro irmão. Escolhida pelo próprio pai para assumir a Regência de Portugal, entregou relutante o comando do país a D. Miguel. Solteira até a morte, a infanta mostrou uma postura política distinta da mãe e das irmãs, alinhando-se à do pai e à do irmão mais velho, e participou ativamente dos acontecimentos políticos do oitocentos. Por meio da análise de suas trajetórias pessoal e pública, busca-se compreender sua importância no contexto político brasileiro e da Península Ibérica, especialmente das relações entre Brasil e Portugal. Tal estudo visa contribuir ainda para a análise de importantes temas das historiografias brasileira e portuguesa por meio de novos usos e de possibilidades das biografias, que vêm conquistando seu espaço por meio dos enfoques da Nova História Política.

Published: December 2020

Реформы в области общего и педагогического образования, проводимые в Китае, выдвигают новые требования к качеству подготовки учителей. Профессионально-методическая подготовка как неотъемлемая часть педагогического образования непосредственно влияет на его качество. Рассмотрена и проанализирована история развития и текущее состояние профессионально-методической подготовки учителей в Китае. Показано, что названная подготовка характеризуется поздним началом и непродолжительным периодом развития, воздействием на нее образовательных тенденций западных стран и внутренних образовательных реформ, наличием новых вызовов и возможностей. Выдвинуты предложения по дальнейшему совершенствованию данной подготовки.

As we enter the new millennium, the emerging reforms in the fields of secondary education and teachers’ education in China have raised new demands on the quality of teachers’ training. Professional-methodical training as an integral part of teachers’ education is closely related to the quality of teachers’ training. In order to improve the effectiveness of teachers’ training, this article examines and analyzes the history of development and the current state of professional-methodical training of teachers in China. Studies show that the development of this training is characterized by a late start, a short period of development, folding under the influence of Western countries, and in the context of educational reform, it faces enormous challenges, as well as new opportunities. The main characteristics of the current state of professional-methodical teachers’ training in China include: “blind” copying and borrowing the experience and models of professional-methodical training of other countries, while reforming teacher’ education, where national conditions and needs of general education are increasingly taken into account; the complexity of the system of professional-methodical teachers’ training, where the central place is occupied by the academic discipline “teaching methods”; practical orientation of professional-methodical training. And on the basis of the results of the study, constructive proposals are put forward for the further development and improvement of this training. To improve the system of professional-methodical training, it is necessary to reform it in three ways: to clarify the goals; improve educational programs; diversify assessment methods.

Published: December 2020

Рассматривается процесс развития отечественной теории управления образованием второй половины ХХ в. Показаны социально-политические предпосылки формирования управленческих идей в образовании. Обозначена зависимость развития отечественной теории управления образованием от задач, поставленных властью перед образованием как социальным институтом. Представлена авторская периодизация развития отечественной теории управления образованием второй половины ХХ в. Четыре выделенных периода описаны с учетом факторов детерминации развития теории управления образованием второй половины ХХ в. В рамках первого периода (1950-е – начало 1960-х гг.) ведущую роль сыграли социально-экономические факторы, определившие курс на повсеместную политехнизацию, что поставило новые управленческие и методические задачи перед образовательными системами разного уровня. Второй период (1964–1985 гг.) отличают концептуальные факторы, оказавшие влияние на трансформацию идейного поля управления образованием. Третий период (1985–1991 гг.) характеризуется повышением влияния социокультурных факторов, обусловленных изменениями эпохи перестройки. Четвертый период (с 1990-х гг. – конец ХХ в.) отражает расширение методологического поля отечественной теории управления образованием, детерминированное междисциплинарными связями управленческой науки.

The process of development of the national theory of governance of the second half of the 20th century is considered. The socio-political prerequisites for the formation of management ideas in education are shown. The dependence of the development of the national theory of education management on the tasks set by the authorities before education as a social institution is indicated. The author’s periodization of the development of the national theory of education management in the second half of the 20th century is presented. Four allocated periods are described taking into account the factors of the determinant of the development of the theory of education management in the second half of the 20th century. In the first period (50’s – early 60’s), socio-economic factors played a leading role, determining the course of widespread polytechnification, which set new management and methodical tasks for educational systems of different levels. The second period (1964–1985) is distinguished by conceptual factors that influenced the transformation of the ideological field of education management. The third period (1985–1991) is characterized by an increase in the influence of sociocultural factors caused by changes in the perestroika era. The fourth period (from the 1990s to the end of the twentieth century) reflects the expansion of the methodological field of the national theory of education management, determined by the interdisciplinary relations of management science.
FACTORS OF PREPARATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF PEDAGOGICAL CARE IN THE PROCESS OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Authors: Володин Владимир Владимирович
Published: December 2020

Определяются и теоретически обосновываются факторы подготовки студентов педагогического вуза к проявлению заботы в процессе их будущей профессиональной деятельности. Процесс подготовки будущих учителей к проявлению заботы включает в себя внутренние и внешие факторы. Внутренние факторы связаны с личностными особенностями и субъектным опытом студентов-педагогов, внешние – с содержанием и организацией образовательного процесса в вузе. Обусловлена необходимость определения теоретико-методологических основ подготовки будущих учителей к проявлению заботы, интерпретация которой затрагивает этические, онтологические и экзистенциальные аспекты. Практическая значимость исследования заключается в том, что определенные факторы, с одной стороны, могут выступать в качестве методологической основы для построения современных педагогических исследований, а с другой – быть включены в практику современного образования в высшей школе. В статье использованы аналитический и синтетический методы исследования.

The article defines and theoretically substantiates the factors of preparation of students of a pedagogical University to show care in the process of their future professional activity. As a result, it is determined that the process of preparing future teachers for caring includes internal and external factors, namely: the personal meaning of the knowledge acquired by students and the practical experience of humane interaction; the subjective experience of the individual; social and cognitive activity of students; the content of education, which includes knowledge of existential philosophy, humanistic pedagogy and psychology; organization of the educational process that models the social and subject content of future professional activities; creation of dialogical interaction between teachers and students. The relevance of the research is primarily due to the need to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of training future teachers to show care, the interpretation of which affects ethical, ontological and existential aspects. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that certain factors, on the one hand, can act as a methodological basis for building modern pedagogical research, and on the other hand, can be included in the practice of modern education in higher education. The article uses analytical and synthetic research methods.
Indigenous Peoples, Data Sovereignty and Self-Determination: Current Realities and Imperatives
Authors: Oguamanam Chidi
Published: December 2020

This study explores the current state and dynamics of the global Indigenous data sovereignty movement-the movement pressing for Indigenous peoples to have full control over the collection and governance of data relating to their lived realities. The article outlines the movement's place within the broader push for Indigenous self-determination; examines its links to big data, open data, intellectual property rights, and access and benefit-sharing; details a pioneering assertion of data sovereignty by Canada's First Nations; outlines relevant UN and international civil society processes; and examines the nascent movement in Africa. The study identifies a fundamental tension between the objectives of Indigenous data sovereignty and those of the open data movement, which does not directly cater for Indigenous peoples' full control over their data. The study also identifies the need for African Indigenous peoples to become more fully integrated into the global Indigenous data sovereignty movement.
