O contexto da educação ambiental no ensino de química
Authors: Ernst Daniela Carolina , Wolff Ariéle Dorneles , Kauffmann Luciane , Gonçalves Soares Luciano
Published: March 2021

A Educação Ambiental é atividade integradora e interdisciplinar, de valores voltados à construção de novas posições éticas e sociais. No contexto atual, sua discussão e mediação ficam sob responsabilidade da escola e de seus agentes, como consta na Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental (Lei n° 9.795/99). A análise documental pretendeu verificar os conteúdos de Educação Ambiental nos Livros Didáticos de Química do 1º, 2 º e 3º anos, que são utilizados no Ensino Médio Integrado do curso Técnico em Química no Instituto Federal Farroupilha, campus Panambi (IFFAR). Com a análise e a identificação dos excertos, discutimos as possíveis relações com a Educação Ambiental para a formação cidadã, como forma de contribuição para a ampliação das discussões dessa temática. A partir do desenvolvimento desta pesquisa foi possível perceber a importância de se trabalhar a Educação Ambiental de maneira transversal, entendendo que a formação cidadã precisa perpassar todas as disciplinas, que ela não pode ser trabalhada unicamente pelas aulas de Química e Biologia, mas precisa ser discutida em todas as matérias.

A democracia e o pensar humano: reflexões pedagógico-educacionais em Amartya Sen e Hannah Arendt
Authors: Vargas Claudeonor Antônio de , Schütz Jenerton Arlan
Published: March 2021

O presente ensaio contém um recorte pontual das elaborações teóricas de dois autores situados em âmbitos distintos. Amartya Sen desenvolve suas reflexões a partir da Economia e expressa os ensinamentos imbricados com a democracia e seu potencial interno de constituição e estruturação das relações entre a singularidade e a pluralidade, entre o eu e o nós. Hannah Arendt mostra o seu potencial intelectual com base na Filosofia e contempla as características e a necessidade do pensar por si mesmo na relação direta com a formação pedagógico-educacional a partir de sua visão de atuação docente que envolve situar o sujeito singular entre outros. À parte final do ensaio compete problematizar as profundas imbricações e possibilidades relacionadas a um sistema de governo democrático com a ideia de formação de um sujeito capaz de, a partir de si mesmo, apreender a realidade e intervir na mesma.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF AVEDHYA SIRA AND SIRA MARMA WITH W.S.R. TO URVI SIRA IN UPPER EXTREMITY
Authors: Thakur Pooja , Goswami Madhavi
Published: March 2021

Acharya Sushruta described various surgeries meticulously. During the ancient time, Acharya Sushruta per-formed various major and minor surgeries with surprisingly great accuracy and thus was able to treat dread-ful diseases. The proper knowledge of Sharira was essential to meet this high standard of accuracy. Especial-ly, during performing any surgery or Sira Vedhan one must be aware of the vital points, Marma and the Avedhya Sira present in the body. This is because even a slight trauma to these may lead to severe compli-cations such as severe pain, any deformity or even death of a person. There are 107 Marmas and 98 Avedhya Siras mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. Most of the name of Avedhya Sira are same as nomencla-ture of Marma. For example, Brihati is a name of Avedhya Sira and is also a Marma. Here an effort has been made to study the role of Marma Sthan in confirmations of Avedhya Sira with special reference to Urvi (Bahavi) Sira in upper extremity.

Keywords: Avedhya Sira, Marma, Urvi Sira

Authors: T Sai Chinmayee , Markande Geetha B. , Padyana Subrahmanya
Published: March 2021

Sitopaladi Choorna is a very common formulation prescribed for respiratory disorders. Palatability, mode of administration, refusal for intake due to Katurasa, mixing with honey and carrying honey along with drugs are the drawbacks of Sitopaladi Choorna. If the same could be modified into a form which would render same results of that of Choorna, it would be a better dosage form. Another dosage form namely Lehya is also an important form because the preparation has got good palatability, easy mode of administration and better absorption capacity. In this study, Sitopaladi Choorna was prepared as per mentioned in Charaka Samhita. Then it was converted into Lehya form. The pharmaceutico-analytical data were observed and recorded. Analysis of both prepared formulations was carried out as per mentioned in Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. The prepared Lehya has shown upper hand over Choorna in palatability, shelf life, action and absorption. The overall results are encouraging in the present study.
Two Teachers in Dialogue: Understanding the Commitment to Teach
Authors: Bernhardt Philip
Published: March 2021

In this study the author explores two educators’ understandings about their commitment to the teaching profession. The following question sits at the heart of this investigation: How do two teachers understand the manifestation of commitment within their teaching practices. Hermeneutic inquiry, which quietly situates this work, provides a unique lens to explore the significance of personal and professional experiences, interpret how to make sense of these experiences, and reflect on the meaning of these revelations within the context of one’s life narrative. Findings reveal that while both the participant and researcher both have a deep commitment to positively influence the lives of their students, there were major differences in their career pathways and how this commitment emerges in practice.

Transcription and Analysis of Qualitative Data in a Study of Women Who Sexually Offended Against Children
Authors: McNulty Elizabeth
Published: March 2021

Research on sexual violence is often conducted within the qualitative paradigm. However, many writers have described the lack of specific detail provided with regard to decisions and processes involved in transcribing and analyzing this type of data. In this article, I will provide a description and discussion of the organization, categorization, and analysis of in-depth interviews in a recent study of women who sexually abused children. The study revealed common experiences of sexual and other abuse in the women’s childhood and adult relationships. These experiences created vulnerabilities that appeared to play a significant role in the women’s offenses. Although abused women rarely abuse others, the findings suggest that supporting and providing therapy to victims of abuse might minimize the potential for such outcomes.
Women in Transition: A Qualitative Analysis of Definitions of Poverty and Success
Authors: Marsh-McDonald Crystale , Schroeder Sybil
Published: March 2021

A phenomenological approach examined the stories of ten women transitioning from childhood poverty to adult life. Women were chosen from a pool of participants in an Upward Bound program designed to assist low-income and/or first-generation college students in the Midwestern United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to retrospectively explore their lived experiences. Recurring themes included facilitators of change, specifically the people, including mental health professionals, family members, romantic partners, and friends who helped make change possible. Another frequent theme found in the research was the impact an education had on the participants. Finally, the participants shared their own insights related to the stigma of poverty and their diverse experiences in transitioning away from poverty. Research findings could prove beneficial to social service professionals interested in understanding the complex realities of resilient, impoverished women.
Careers Boundaries in the Arts in Brazil: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Bendassolli Pedro , Wood Thomaz
Published: March 2021

Over the last years the scholarly literature on careers has been enriched by the proposal of new career models which present a rhetoric that asks for the end of career boundaries: individual, hierarchical, organizational and geographical. However, in the real world, many constrains continue to exist. This paper tries to contribute to the understanding of the new boundaries of the 21st century careers. To do so we look at the case of careers in the arts. We review existing literature on careers, present a historical, contextual perspective of artistic careers, and conduct field work in the city of São Paulo based on in-depth interviews with 18 Brazilian artists from nine different occupations in the field of arts, whose data were subjected to qualitative content analysis. Our results show that career boundaries exist even in a sector we could consider as historically boundaryless . We identify and discuss four boundaries of the artistic career, seeking to reflect on the importance of considering the relationship of the individual and the context in which he/she operates in order to understand careers today.
Handling Interpretation and Representation in Multilingual Research: A Meta-study of Pragmatic Issues Resulting from the Use of Multiple Languages in a Qualitative Information Systems Research Work
Authors: Baumgartner Ilse
Published: March 2021

Although the number of multilingual qualitative research studies appears to be growing, investigations concerned with methodological issues arising from the use of several languages within a single research are still very scarce. Most of these seem to deal exclusively with issues related to the use of interpreters and translators in qualitative research (e.g., Temple & Edwards, 2002; Temple, Edwards & Alexander, 2006; Edwards, 1998; Temple & Young 2004). Methodological investigations going beyond pure translation dilemmas in qualitative research are, however, almost non-existent. The reason for this seems to be simple: the situation where the researcher possesses mother-tongue fluency in all or most of the languages used in a particular study – and, thus, is in a position to probe interpretational and representational problematics related to the multilingual character of this study with an adequate depth – is very rare. The author of this paper has used her recent qualitative research work in the area of Information Systems as the basis for a meta-study in which she investigates selected methodological issues resulting from the use of five different languages within the frame of a single research work. This paper specifically focuses on challenges encountered and observations made concerning three different issues, namely, how to choose the interview languages in a situation where the prospective interviewees have very diverse ethnic backgrounds, which languages to use for the data analysis in a situation where the data has been collected in several different languages, and how to determine the most appropriate stage of the research for transitioning from the languages used to collect and analyze the data to the language of the final research product. Although this meta-study is based on an Information Systems research work and is, thus, specifically addressing qualitative Information Systems researchers conducting multilingual research and encountering language-related issues in their work, this study might also be of interest to any researcher using qualitative research methodologies and employing more than one language to collect data, conduct data analysis, and craft the final research product.

Using semi-structured interviews, this study resulted in a thick description of the experience of live supervision capturing participants’ thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Data revealed that live supervision during pre-practicum is a multifaceted experience comprised of numerous roles that not only contribute to counselor skill development, but counselor identity development. Participants’ stories reflected the benefit and impact that live supervision provides in the educational context.
Nahuatl as a Classical, Foreign, and Additional Language: A Phenomenological Study
Authors: De Felice Dustin
Published: March 2021

In this study, participants learning an endangered language variety shared their experiences, thoughts, and feelings about the often complex and diverse language-learning process. I used phenomenological interviews in order to learn more about these English or Spanish language speakers’ journey with the Nahuatl language. From first encounter to their current state in their journey, participants described their challenges with gaining access to the language through courses, materials and institutions, their language observations and their sustaining motivations. In addition to those descriptions, my analysis showed many participants shared two underlying motivations for studying this language: (a) using the Nahuatl language for specific purposes, and (b) using Nahuatl as a connection to an historical or cultural past. Both of these motivations were driven by a higher purpose in ensuring the survival of speakers of this language group.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Case Study of Community Expectations and the Administrative Systems, Niger Delta
Authors: Ogula David
Published: March 2021

Poor community-company relations in the Niger Delta have drawn attention to the practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the region. Since the 1960s, transnational oil corporations operating in the Niger Delta have adopted various CSR strategies, yet community-company relations remain adversarial. This article examines community expectations of CSR and the influence of the traditional, political, and administrative systems on community expectations of CSR in the Niger Delta region. An overview of CSR, oil industry CSR practices in the Niger Delta, and the methodology used is presented. The findings show that community expectations were framed through the lens of underdevelopment and its implications for the social and economic wellbeing of the indigenes. The implications of the traditional, political, and administrative systems and the network of organizations for CSR in the Niger Delta are discussed.
Hemiplegia in Men: A Case Study
Authors: Chan Zenobia , Wong Gary
Published: March 2021

Hemiplegia, or paralysis of one side of the body, is caused by injury or illness (for example, a stroke), and leads to other disabilities. People with hemiplegia are limited physically in their daily activities. This limitation affects their social well-being and thus can lead to depression. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review on hemiplegia in men. A single case study of a man with hemiplegia living in Hong Kong is also presented here. A critical discussion of the signs and symptoms of “male-type” depression and humanising attitudes towards men with hemiplegia follows. Critical areas in rehabilitation, social support, and developing partnerships are also highlighted. This paper intends to facilitate better understanding by health and social care providers of the needs of men with hemiplegia. Implications for clinical practice and research are likewise addressed. Further studies using multiple case studies are recommended to ensure a comprehensive understanding of hemiplegia in men.
Stories of Aboriginal Transracial Adoption
Authors: Nuttgens Simon
Published: March 2021

Despite the significant number of transracial Aboriginal adoptions that have taken place in Canada, little research is available that addresses the psychological and psychosocial ramifications for the children involved. The scant literature that does exist raises concerns about the psychological impact of this type of adoption. The present research used narrative inquiry to bring greater understanding to the experiences of Aboriginal children raised in non Aboriginal families. The life stories of four Aboriginal adults who were adopted as children were gathered through audio - taped interviews. Seven “narrative threads” salient across the four participants’ life stories include: disconnection, passing, diversion, connection, surpassing, reconnection, and identity coherence.

Az Edutus Egyetem Komárom-Esztergom megye (KEM) egyetlen felsőoktatási intézményeként folyamatosan törekszik, hogy regionális innovatív tudás-és vállalkozói csomópontként (hub) működve hozzájáruljon a megye gazdasági (nemzetközi nagyvállalatok helyi gyáregységei; hazai tulajdonú kis-és középvállalatok) és társadalmi (Szakképző Centrumok, KEM Kormányhivatal, települési önkormányzatok, gazdaságfejlesztő szervezetek) szereplői közötti hálózatos együttműködések erősítéséhez, a helyi munkaerőpiac és vállalatok visszajelzései alapján oktatási, kutatás-fejlesztési és tudáshasznosítási tevékenysége színvonalának javításával, képzési, szolgáltatási portfóliójának bővítésével. Jövőbeli térségi szerepét és mozgásterét meghatározzák a megye adottságai, a 2021-2027 időszakra szóló EU célokhoz való illeszkedés. Az esettanulmány áttekinti az Edutus Egyetem Műszaki Intézetének 2021-2027 időszakra vonatkozó lehetséges továbblépési irányait, hogy erősíteni tudja KEM-ben betöltött térségi szerepét az oktatás-kutatás-tudás üzleti hasznosítása területén. A megyei térségi szerep (regionális innovatív oktatási-vállalkozási csomópontként való működés) mellett kitekint a megyei határokon túlra országos (MIPA pilot programok digitális képzési moduljainak tananyagfejlesztése és tudásátadása különböző képzési helyszíneken és ágazatokban), illetve nemzetközi dimenziókban is (kettős diplomás képzések, EDIW workshop sorozat beindítása). Az oktatásszervezési, nemzetközi együttműködésben rejlő lehetőségek kiaknázását, társadalmi szerepvállalási javaslatok kialakítását összehangolja KEM adottságainak és helyzetének feltárásával, illetve a következő programozási időszak hazai és EU pályázati forrásaihoz való hozzáférés előfeltételéül megszabott Edutus Egyetem Intézmény Fejlesztési Terv 2021-2024 című dokumentum főbb elvárásaival. Az elkövetkező időszak feladata a javaslatok megvalósításához szükséges források megtalálása és a szükséges humán erőforrás feltételek biztosítása. Mivel a 2021. évre áthúzódó COVID-19 járvány gazdasági kihatásai egyelőre nem prognosztizálhatók, ezért már a tervezési időszakban nagy rugalmasságra lesz szükség a célok és az erőforrás allokációk döntéselőkészítésében.

Authors: Abd Rahman Lubna , A.Bakar Arnida
Published: March 2021

Kajian ini memfokuskan penterjemahan makna unsur budaya dalam novel Arab yang bertajuk “Saacah Baghdad: Riwayah” ke bahasa Inggeris melalui aplikasi e-Translasi Google. Budaya dimiliki oleh masyarakat tertentu dan dipraktikkan daripada satu generasi kepada generasi yang lain dalam satu kelompok manusia berdasarkan tempat dan situasi. Budaya mempunyai kaitan dengan norma serta tatacara hidup dan bahasa yang dipertuturkan dalam masyarakat tersebut. Unsur budaya yang terbahagi kepada budaya kebendaan (material) dan budaya bukan kebendaan (bukan material). Bagi penterjemahan makna unsur budaya tersebut, selalunya berlaku kesulitan dan cabaran yang dihadapi bagi mendapatkan kesepadanan makna kata budaya tidak kira sama ada oleh penterjemah itu sendiri mahupun mesin yang mengendalikan terjemahan atau aplikasi e-Translasi seperti Google Translate (GT). Kesukaran ini disebabkan oleh jurang serta kelainan budaya dan bahasa yang wujud antara teks sumber dan teks sasaran. Faktor inilah yang mendorong pengkaji untuk melakukan kajian berkaitan unsur budaya antara dua bahasa. Oleh itu, objektif kajian ini adalah menelusuri penterjemahan makna unsur budaya yang dilakukan oleh Google Translate dalam novel Arab "Saacah Baghdad: Riwayah" ke bahasa Inggeris. Kajian turut meninjau pendekatan terjemahan yang digunakan oleh aplikasi tersebut bagi membekalkan makna yang dikehendaki dan mencadangkan penambahbaikan yang boleh menjelaskan lagi mesej yang hendak disampaikan ke dalam bahasa sasaran. Kajian menganalisis sampel unsur budaya terpilih berdasarkan kategori yang diketengahkan oleh Newmark (1988) serta berpandukan kamus atas talian (almaany dan Merriam-Webster) bagi mendapatkan ketepatan maksud yang dikehendaki. Kajian mendapati aplikasi e-Translasi Google menghadapi kesukaran dalam menterjemah makna unsur budaya dengan baik, di samping berlaku penyelewengan makna dalam membekal dan menyalurkan maklumat ke dalam bahasa sasaran. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada perkembangan disiplin terjemahan dengan mengenal pasti permasalahan yang dihadapi yang dikendalikan oleh Google Translate, terutamanya dalam terjemahan unsur budaya. Kajian ini diharap dapat membantu pengkaji dalam bidang penterjemahan khususnya berkaitan elemen budaya dan terjemahannya antara dua bahasa.

Knowledge of covid 19 is critical for the world to have in order for individuals to be able to make informed choices on how to split the covid 19 transmission chain. This thesis employs a pre-experimental method that employs the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The paired t test was used to examine the relationship between the two variables, namely the betel leaf extract handsanitizer output preparation and the respondent's knowledge of the handsanitizer making process. Extension has an impact on increasing respondents' awareness of how to make natural hand sanitizers. The paired t-test findings indicate that the Sig. = 0.000 0.05, indicating that there is a discrepancy between the pretest and posttest. With a mean value of -5.967, this data indicates the average discrepancy between the pretest and posttest, with a range of -5.383 to -6.551 (95 percent CI), indicating that there is a difference between the pretest and posttest mean values, indicating that the pretest value has an influence on the post test. To stop the spread of Covid19, health care providers and the society must work together.

Published: March 2021

Citation based metrics are widely used to assess the impact of research published in journals. This paper presents the results of a research study to verify the accuracy of data and calculations of journal impact metrics presented in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus in the case of three journals of information and library science. Data collected from the websites of journals were compared with that of two citation extended databases. The study manually calculated Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and Impact per Publication (IPP) in accordance with formulas given in the databases. Data were also collected from the Google Scholar for the purpose of comparison. The study found discrepancies in two sets of data and bibliometric values, i.e., systematic values presented in WoS and Scopus and calculated in this study. Commercial databases presented inflated measures based on fabricated or erroneous data. The study is of practical importance to researchers, universities and research financing bodies that consider these bibliometric indicators as a good tool for measuring performance, assessing, and evaluating research quality as well as researchers.

Published: March 2021

Background: A refrigerator is a potential source of pathogen contamination leading to food spoilage and food borne diseases. It forms an essential connection in broad chain of cross contamination which might possibly lead to the outbreaks of food borne diseases.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate bacterial Contamination of Some Domestic and Laboratory Refrigerators in Port Harcourt Metropolis.

Methodology: This study was done in Port Harcourt metropolis in Rivers state, Nigeria. Sterile swab sticks moistened with peptone water were used to swab the handles, bases, sides and shelves of domestic (90) and laboratory (60) refrigerators. One hundred and fifty (150) samples obtained in total were inoculated and identified using standard conventional methods of bacteria identification.

Results: The results showed 100% bacterial contamination. With prevalence rates of Staphylococcus aureus(30.6%), Klebsiella pneumonia (5.3%), Vibro cholera (4.7%), Escherichia coli (4%), Salmonella typhi (3.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2%), Bacillus cereus (1.3%), Clostridium botulinium (1.3%), Shigellaspecies (1.3%), Listeria monocytogenes (1.3%), Proteus mirabilis (1.3%), Vibroparahaemolyticus (1.3%), Yersinia enterocolitica (1.3%) and Clostridium perfringens(0.7%). Chi square confirms that relationships exist between bacteria isolate with the batch sampled (chi square =139.239; df=54; p=0.00), Gram reaction (chi square =150.000; df=18; p=0.00) and the refrigerator type (chi square =35.325; df=18; p=0.00). However, no statistically significant association exists between isolates and positions on Refrigerator (chi square = 68.080; df=72; p=0.61).

Conclusion: The outcome of this study confirms the presence of mesophilics and psychrotrophic bacteria in refrigerators, including potential foodborne pathogens which can cause serious health challenges. Hence, refrigerators are potential pathogen contamination sources. Therefore, proper hand hygiene, awareness and sensitization on maintenance of appropriate, good storage and refrigerator management is recommended for all.

Relationship of Regime theory between science and politics
Authors: Hejazi Afifa
Published: March 2021

In today’s society, experts play an increasingly important role. We listen to experts who give advice, for example, on what we should or should not eat, how to exercise, how to invest our money and so on. It has been argued that ‘experts play an ever more influential role in defining and controlling fundamental social problems’. In both the public and the private sector, experts give advice on policy issues. Increasingly, scientific knowledge and scientific experts have become a vital component of the political policy process.  This is particularly apparent when highly complex environmental problems are dealt with. Scientists who possess scientific knowledge are important not only in identifying policies of risk management but also in the process of identifying risks. As this research deals partly with the role of experts (scientific) in the water negotiations it is imperative to discuss how science and politics are related.

Debate centers on a shift from a peaceful to a violent discourse in which they live, throughout, under the heading of divisive politics.
An Explaining of the Components of Occidentosis: A Plague by the West and Returning to Self-identity in Jalal Al-e-Ahmad’s Thoughts
Authors: Nezafat Jalal
Published: March 2021

After World War II, new branches were added to sciences, especially the humanities. Due to the extensive interaction between the East and the West, the translation and summarization of the Western written works and the return of graduates to the country from abroad created a dramatic development in all affairs of the Eastern countries. One of the most important changes that took place was modernization, which swept across the various political, social, and personal domains of most Western societies and affected many people in these societies. The clash between tradition and modernity led to the overshadowing of traditional beliefs and the personal and national identities of Eastern societies in interaction with the West; thus, it made some Eastern intellectuals, writers, and thinkers oppose the teachings of modernism so that they strongly emphasized the necessity of returning to self-identity and native traditions. Based on the above approach, the present article seeks to answer what Westernization and return to self-identify in the thoughts of Jalal Al-e-Ahmad mean. It can be said that by turning to fiction, essay writing, travelogue writing and bringing up diverse social themes in different forms, Sayyid Jalal Al-e-Ahmad brought up the concern for returning to self-identity and Westernization, and in his book, “Occidentosis: A Plague by the West”, he criticized modernity. Then, he emphasized identity and historical traditions that are discussed in detail in this study. In addition, in this research, while analyzing the political life of Jalal Al-e-Ahmad through descriptive-analytic method, his thoughts and views on Westernization are analyzed and elaborated on with an emphasis on a postcolonial theory by relying on library resources.

Published: March 2021

This research departs from a phenomenon that when the farmers in Pandeglang regency, Banten Province, are still carrying out farming activities outside of the recommended planting calendar issued by the Ministry of Agriculture Republic of Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to find answers to why farmers are not concerned about the planting calendar and how communication is carried out by agricultural extension workers with these farmers.

            This study uses the theory of Communication Privacy Management (CPM). The approach used is descriptive qualitative. Data is collected by means of observation and in-depth interviews which are then presented descriptively. The results showed that farmers in Pandeglang district tended to use the traditional planting season, which was planting time from April to September. Farmers are not likely to get comprehensive information from extension officers because of technical issues such as limited seed varieties, fertilizers and medicines as idealized from the planting calendar. It was suggested that the Ministry of Agriculture should balance the idealism of farming as stated in the frog with the amount of agricultural logistics needed.
