Authors: Prayitno Teguh , Pranowo Widodo Setiyo , Surya Arta Adhi
Published: May 2022

Sistem Basisdata Fusi-Oseanografi merupakan inovasi baru di bidang pengelolaan data observasi dan teknologi prediksi Oseanografi Nasional. Pembangunan sistem basisdata yang baru membutuhkan pengembangan yang berkelanjutan dengan menambahkan variabel lain seperti variabel Salinitas Absolut dan Arus. Data penelitian (Salinitas, Temperatur, dan Komponen Arus u,v) bersumber dari Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) tahun 2020. Ketiga variabel diatas dikomputasi dan divisualisasikan terhadap 32 kedalaman dan 12 WFO menggunakan software ODV versi 5.3.0 untuk menghasilkan kumpulan database peta Salinitas Absolut dan Arus. Kumpulan database tersebut, selanjutnya diunggah kedalam webdatabase purwarupa Fusi-Oseanografi untuk ditampilkan di Aplikasi Android Fusioseanografi V3 bagi pengguna. Untuk mengetahui kevalidan data model dari CMEMS, maka diperlukan adanya verifikasi dengan data observasi lapangan. Verifikasi/validasi dilakukan sampai dengan level tertentu, dengan data pembanding berasal dari World Ocean Dataset (WOD) dan data primer. Penelitian menghasilkan database peta variabel Salinitas Absolut dan Arus sejumlah 3865 gambar. Kadar salinitas absolut tertinggi sebesar 38 g/Kg di WFO-04 kedalaman 50 meter, nilai terendahnya 28 g/kg di WFO-04 kedalaman 0.5 meter. Rata-rata dari 12 WFO, nilai salinitas absolut tertinggi sebesar 35.63 g/Kg dan terendahnya 32.85 g/Kg. Kecepatan arus akan mengalami penurun secara berangsur-angsur dilapisan kedalaman yang semakin dalam. Verifikasi data menghasilkan nilai kuantitatif yang baik dengan nilai RMSE variabel Salinitas Absolut berkisar antara 0.00002 g/Kg sampai dengan 0.3605 g/Kg dengan nilai rata-rata nya sebesar 0.0408 g/Kg. Kecepatan arus memiliki nilai kuantitatif RMSE pada kisaran nilai antara 0.03477 m/s sampai dengan 0.1348 m/s dengan nilai rata-rata 0.0877 m/s.

Published: May 2022

Pembuatan Peta Tematik yang dilaksanakan di Pushidrosal sekarang ini berkembang menggunakan perangkat lunak Computer Aided Resource Information System Paper Chart Composer (CARIS PCC) 2.15. Namun dalam pembuatan Peta Tematik khususnya area tutupan lahan, prosesnya masih menggunakan teknik penggabungan data raster yang  disesuaikan hingga membentuk gambar yang digunakan sebagai background pada pembuatan Peta Tematik, proses tersebut dinilai kurang efektif. Untuk itu perlu adanya optimalisasi tools dan feature dari perangkat lunak CARIS PCC 2.15. Optimalisasi tersebut dilakukan dengan teknik kustomisasi simbol berupa teknik penyesuaian objek (titik, garis, area, dan teks) peta pada perangkat lunak CARIS PCC 2.15 dan memodifikasi kode-kode bahasa Extensible Markup Language (XML) yang terdapat pada sistem perangkat lunak CARIS PCC 2.15. Pada penelitian ini penulis memfokuskan pada pemutakhiran dan penyesuaian simbol serta pembuatan pattern area menggunakan bahasa XML yang khusus digunakan untuk pembuatan Peta Tematik, hasil dari kustomisasi selanjutnya akan di tampilkan dan dibentuk suatu sistem khusus yang berfungsi sebagai pengumpul file-file yang telah di kustomisasi agar pembuatan Peta Tematik dapat sesuai dengan kebutuhan Pushidrosal.

Depression is an illness that affects mostly women, the treatment of this illness is represented by antidepressants and psychotherapy. Even if pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life, the number of women that suffer of depression is growing. Antidepressant medication in pregnancy is not recommended, because of negative effects on new-born. In this paper we use bioinformatic methods to fi nd a new treatment of depression safe to use in pregnancy. Our results show that natural compounds resveratrol (8.67), melatonin (8.58) and linalyl acetate (9.40) have biological activity similar with antidepressants on serotonin transporter. Because majority of antidepressants have serotonin transporter as main target, biological activity on serotonin transporter may indicate that this natural compound could have antidepressant-like activity. Supplementary we made an Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity in silico study, to complete the pharmacological profile of these natural compounds, in comparation with antidepressants sertraline and amitriptyline. We conclude that melatonin, resveratrol and linalyl acetate are tolerated well by the human body, and may represent a viable alternative in depression treatment, even for risk factor groups.

As regards the issue of complexity, human brain is one of the most complex systems we know. The study of neural networks, their relation to the operation of single neurons and other important topics do and will profit a lot from complex systems approaches. As regards quantum physics, there can be no reasonable doubt that quantum events occur and are efficacious in the brain as elsewhere in the material world – including biological systems. This paper is intended to present an exhaustive viewpoint regarding the main actual hypothesis in what concerns human brain mechanisms of structuring and functioning.
Factors Affecting Quality of Life of Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients in Indonesia
Authors: Nurhamsyah Donny , Trisyani Yanny , Nur'aeni Aan
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: This study was to examine potential factors associated with quality of life of post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

AIM: This study needs to be done because studies about post-ACS patient populations in Indonesia are limited.

METHODS: It was a quantitative research with a descriptive-analytic approach. Post-ACS patients (n = 100) were taken from a central referral hospital in West Java Province, Indonesia. The dependent data were quality of life and measured using MacNew QLMI. The independent data were depression measured using Zung SDS, severity level, and knowledge, and demography data were measured using instruments developed by researchers. Statistical analysis was carried out in stages from univariate, bivariate, and multivariate.

RESULTS: Data showed that 58% patients had a good quality of life, 36% patients had CAD without significant stenosis, and 33% got mild depression. About 59% patients got underwent revascularization, 52% had difficult time to hospital, 94% had BPJS insurance, and 86% were Sundanese. Bivariate analysis (CI 95%) showed that there was a significant correlation between depression and quality of life (p = 0.000), severity level (p = 0.033), type of intervention (p = 0.011), and also access to hospital (p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis showed that depression was the most significant factor associated with QOL (OR = 4.637, p < 0.05).

DISCUSSION: Seven factors studied, only four factors significantly related to the quality of life of post-ACS patients, they were severity, depression, last medical treatment, and travel time to the hospital.

CONCLUSION: Depression was the most significant factor related to the quality of life of post-ACS patients in this study. Changes in physical, emotional, and social conditions will affect depression. The findings of this study are expected to be evidence based for hospital institutions in identifying the quality of life of post-acute coronary syndrome patients.
Test Design Under Falsification
Authors: Perez-Richet Eduardo , Skreta Vasiliki
Published: May 2022

We study the optimal design of tests with manipulable inputs. Tests take a unidimensional state of the world as input and output, an informative signal to guide a receiver's approve or reject decision. The receiver wishes to only approve states that comply with her baseline standard. An agent with a preference for approval can covertly falsify the state of the world at a cost. We characterize receiver‐optimal tests and show they rely on productive falsification by compliant states. They work by setting a more stringent operational standard, and granting noncompliant states a positive approval probability to deter them from falsifying to the standard. We also study how falsification‐detection technologies improve optimal tests. They allow the designer to build an implicit cost of falsification into the test, in the form of signal devaluations. Exploiting this channel requires enriching the signal space.
Autour de sainte Agnès : lieux et réseaux de mémoires saintes à Rome
Authors: Lirosi Alessia
Published: May 2022

La mémoire de sainte Agnès à Rome se situe principalement autour de deux espaces différents : le stade de Domitien dont le périmètre donna ensuite naissance à la Place Navona et où surgit une église intitulée S. Agnese in Agone ; et les catacombes de la via Nomentana où une autre église fut construite, S. Agnese fuori le mura. C’est là que le corps d’Agnès fut retrouvé en 1605 par le cardinal Paolo Sfondrati. Cinquante ans plus tard, S. Agnese in Agone fut restaurée par le pape Innocent X Pamphili et sa famille, grâce à l’œuvre des architectes Borromini, del Grande, Baratta et De Rossi. La relance du culte d’Agnès à l’âge moderne, qui prit forme autour d’anciennes et de nouvelles cérémonies, se réalisa donc à travers une nouvelle attention à ses reliques et aux lieux de sa mémoire. De plus, un fil symbolique peut être mis en évidence, qui relie Agnès à d’autres saintes : Emérence, Constance, Attique et Artémie, mais aussi Cécile et Françoise Romaine.
Les saints des origines dans la littérature de colportage (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles)
Authors: Andries Lise
Published: May 2022

Les Vies de saints n’occupent pas une place très importante dans la Bibliothèque bleue. Sur un ensemble de 300 titres environ, elles ne représentent que 8 % du catalogue. Il a été cependant possible de répertorier 24 Vies de saints, chiffre qui ne peut évidemment se comparer aux 153 saints de La Légende dorée qui est l’une des sources de ces textes.
La grande majorité des saints présents dans la Bibliothèque bleue sont des « saints des origines » qui ont vécu au IIIe et au IVe siècle pendant les persécutions des empereurs romains. Un élément important est la prédominance de l’Église d’Occident sur l’Église d’Orient et de la France du nord sur la France du sud. Cet aspect est déjà sensible dans La Légende dorée, mais il est nettement accentué au XVIIe siècle dans la Bibliothèque bleue, avec l’apparition de saints comme saint Hubert dans les Ardennes ou sainte Reine, née en Bourgogne. Ces nouveaux saints entrent dans la Bibliothèque bleue dans le contexte de la Contre-Réforme et de la reconquête du monde paysan. On notera également l’omniprésence des saints évêques. Les livres bleus rendent compte du maillage serré des communautés chrétiennes des premiers siècles, regroupées autour de leur évêque : saint Martin, évêque de Tours ou saint Fiacre, évêque de Meaux. L’image de la religion qui se dégage de la lecture des livrets bleus est celle d’une religion d’austérité et de pénitence, donnant une place toute particulière aux pratiques ascétiques. Soulignons enfin à quel point ces Vies de saints se complaisent dans la représentation des saintes martyres et de la souffrance féminine.
La pietra di porfido rosso ad limina apostolorum
Authors: Nanni Stefania
Published: May 2022

Il saggio, compreso in una riflessione a più binari sulle figure degli apostoli Pietro e Paolo nell’età delle riforme religiose, ne indaga le evocazioni e le rappresentazioni romane centrando la sua attenzione sui tracciati che costruiscono l’indissolubile legame tra i due apostoli : un ridisegno ciclico, multiforme e incerto che si rintraccia fin dai primi secoli cristiani nella liturgia e nelle devozioni, nelle Scritture e nella tradizione scritta, epigrafica, archeologica, iconografica.
Lo studio qui presentato indaga le sue remote e contraddittorie varianti, e le segue lungo la continua risignificazione che le coinvolge fino alla tarda Controriforma e al sistematico vaglio delle scienze sacre proposto in quell’età per recuperare la fondatezza e il senso delle tradizioni sulla coppia apostolica, e la suprema dignità di Roma. Una testimonianza secondaria ed ‘improbabile’ conservata nell’ipogeo vaticano, detta la pietra di porfido ad limina apostolorum, è qui proposta come figura nodale del composito messaggio (di segno dottrinale-liturgico-pastorale, storico-apologetico, dalle decisive valenze politiche) che i due apostoli emanano da un tempo e da un luogo delle origini verso la Chiesa universale.
Miniere di santità
Authors: Ghilardi Massimiliano
Published: May 2022

A partire dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo, dagli studi di Giovanni Battista de Rossi in poi, si è andata sempre più consolidando la convinzione che la Congregazione dell’Oratorio sia stata l’unica forza religiosa a promuovere nella prima età moderna la ricerca archeologica del primitivo cristianesimo romano. L’ambiente filippino, sulla scorta delle riflessioni spirituali di Filippo Neri e delle ricognizioni storiche di Cesare Baronio, ebbe in verità un ruolo preminente nella promozione delle ricerche catacombali. Alla morte di Antonio Bosio, l’Oratorio si fece promotore del riordinamento e della pubblicazione degli appunti rimasti incompiuti della sua monumentale Roma sotterranea. Giovanni Severano, Paolo Aringhi, Antonio Gallonio ed altri eruditi oratoriani si fecero interpreti della promozione degli studi di antichità cristiana, ma la Congregazione oratoriana non fu la sola ad interessarsi di paleocristianesimo romano. Alla luce di documenti inediti, il presente contributo intende valorizzare, a fianco delle indagini oratoriane, il ruolo fondamentale dei religiosi della Compagnia di Gesù nella ricerca materiale delle catacombe e nella diffusione delle reliquie ex ossibus dei primi martiri cristiani sepolti nei cimiteri sotterranei della campagna romana.
I santi delle origini cristiane nel protestantesimo del XVI secolo
Authors: Cavallotto Stefano
Published: May 2022

Nonostante la soppressione del culto dei santi e l’eliminazione di gran parte della letteratura agiografica tradizionale, persiste nelle comunità protestanti, soprattutto luterane, del XVI secolo una devozione purificata ed evangelica verso gli eroi del cristianesimo primitivo, identificati con i martiri/confessori e i docentes verbum Dei. Una memoria sanctorum veteris ecclesiae, raccolta inizialmente in storie ed in « insegnamenti esemplari » (Bonnus, Major, Spalatino) mutuati dalla letteratura patristica opportunamente « ripulita » affiora con crescente evidenza a partire dagli anni Cinquanta in diversi martirologi, nei Kirchenkalender e in florilegi o Exempelbücher per la predicazione, al fine di proporre modelli di fedeltà all’evangelo, di docilità all’azione della grazia e di fermezza nella prova. Prende forma così un prezioso patrimonio di esemplarità volto a confortare e sostenere le chiese della Riforma in un momento in cui la persecuzione si abbatte su di esse, alla stregua, del resto, di quanto sta già accadendo per i nuovi martiri della fede annoverati tra le fila degli evangelici, le cui esaltanti testimonianze (Acta et Monumenta) sono devotamente conservate in Märtyrerflugschriften e ordinate con sistematicità nei vari « libri dei martiri » pubblicati a Strasburgo, Ginevra, Londra, Anversa.
Le musée de société : avenir des passés, mémoires à l’œuvre
Authors: Le Marec Joëlle , Delarge Alexandre
Published: May 2022

Notre objectif, dans cet article, est de reconsidérer les musées de société à partir d’une transformation des rapports aux savoirs, avec la reconnaissance, dans le champ scientifique lui-même, de la pluralité des manières de connaître et participer à la culture.Nous faisons un lien entre les tensions qui ont accompagné l’extension de la catégorie des « musées de société » depuis l’apparition du terme en France, et l’intensité d’un débat contemporain en sciences humaines et sociales.Nous partons de l’émergence et des appropriations de la catégorie « musées de société », puis de la constitution de réseaux mobilisés autour d’une conception sociale et politique des musées, pour présenter ensuite, dans des contextes précis, en quoi consiste une dynamique muséale fondée non sur un développement des « offres », mais sur l’extension des formes d’implication et de participation au sein des communautés de référence des musées. Nous nous inscrivons ainsi dans la continuité du débat inspiré par le projet politique d’émancipation au sein des écomusées et des musées de société.
Entre le musée, le manifeste et le catalogue. La patrimonialisation du comic book par l’anthologie
Authors: Méon Jean-Matthieu
Published: May 2022

En raison des logiques industrielles de sa production, le comic book, support d’une partie de la bande dessinée américaine, a longtemps eu des difficultés à constituer un corpus susceptible de valorisation et de reconnaissance comme patrimoine. Sa patrimonialisation est passée notamment par des stratégies de réédition au format livre, dont les premières initiatives à partir des années 1960 ont suivi un mode anthologique. Les différentes modalités de ce discours anthologique – entre musée, manifeste et catalogue – sont autant de constructions d’une valeur sociale pour le comic book et d’une inscription de son passé dans le présent. À travers la présentation de ces modalités, c’est plus largement le caractère nécessairement composite de la patrimonialisation qui est mis en évidence. Celle-ci n’est pas un processus univoque mais relève de logiques distinctes, portées par des acteurs de positions et de natures différentes.
Assessment of the Overall Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Energy System in China
Authors: Norouzi Nima
Published: May 2022

As the world faces the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an instinctive and abrupt change in the global energy portfolio. Traditional fossil fuels that serve as the foundation of the modern economy have found their demand has rapidly decreased across most categories due to strict lockdown and limiting measures that have been adopted to control the infection. These shifts consequently caused various clean energy advantages across the world in recent times. This article investigates these energy benefits and reversals that have been materialized in this unfolding situation due to the reduced demand for fossil fuels. Outcomes from the study insist that COVID-19 has delivered impressive changes in the global energy demand, with about 11–25% curtailment in all the impacts mentioned above in 2020 compared to their corresponding readings in 2019. Although these changes might have been short-term changes, the long-term impacts of the R&D investments on fossil fuels are essential role players of the future of the energy portfolio.
Employee Motivation Determinants
Authors: Basnet Bikash , Eyaa Sarah , Namisango Fatuma , Okhawere Nekpen Euodia
Published: May 2022

This chapter applies the expectancy theory framework to investigate work motivation among international students in Australia. Data obtained from 135 students using an online survey shows that expectancy, intrinsic instrumentality, and intrinsic valence enhance motivation among international students. However, extrinsic instrumentality and valance do not have a significant impact on motivation. The chapter sheds light on a subject that is predominantly understudied despite the economic contributions of international students to many economies through employment. The implications of this study relate to the creation of systems and policies that enhance expectancy and recognise and reward internal achievements so that the experience of international students can be improved.
Cultural Responsiveness and Linguistic Competence in Educational Policies
Authors: Komabu-Pomeyie Sefakor Grateful-Miranda Ama
Published: May 2022

Most educators do not speak the language or share the culture of immigrants, especially immigrant students with disabilities (ISWD) and their families, hampering their ability to understand and respond to students' needs and making schools unable to fulfill promises of educational equity. This inequity often leads to poverty and frustration, making academic success challenging to achieve and, therefore, preventing them from living independently. Through analysis of empirical research, this qualitative narrative study describes insight gained from stories of five ISWD, which echoed the need for cultural responsiveness and a linguistic competency roadmap and supportive pathways for ISWD within the USA and other Western countries. The purpose of this study is to build a case for the implementation of a cultural communication roadmap for both educators and affected new immigrant populations. First, the implications for this study are discussed, followed by recommendations for research that will lead to evidence-based practices.
The South Sudanese Struggle
Authors: Hancock Lucy , Loro Samuel Emmanuel , Idra Jacob
Published: May 2022

Nearly 10,000 South Sudanese families of differing tribal ethnicities reside in Omaha, Nebraska—the largest population in one concentrated area outside of South Sudan. One of the most urgent and demanding questions of this community is how reconciliation can be sought when deep-rooted pain and conflict are still alive. How can peace be found, and hearts be mended, when century-old structures are still in place to perpetuate cycles of poverty, racism, tribalism, and violence? The intersections of these realities are hardly coincidental, which sheds light on the symptoms of a much deeper wound. As an institution of higher learning, there is a responsibility to engage with local communities in a way that promotes communal harmony and establishes global understanding. Through this research, Creighton University utilizes students from international backgrounds to build a bridge toward communal justice, reconciliation, and connection in Omaha, Nebraska.
A Field Experience in Education in Havana, Cuba
Authors: Sullivan Susan
Published: May 2022

This chapter presents a case study using ethnographic research methods to examine prospective teachers' experience in educational fieldwork in Havana, Cuba and its impact on them. Triangulation of multiple sources of evidence validate the findings. The primary student goals of the program based on immersion in family, student, and local Havana neighborhood life were 1) to develop a cultural and historical understanding of Cuba and its people, 2) to learn about and become immersed in the Cuban educational system, and 3) to expand the participants' pedagogical knowledge and skills. Findings point to considerable growth in knowledge and understanding of the Cuban people, a substantial involvement in the Cuban educational system, and a more limited development of pedagogical knowledge and skills.
Association between Relative Handgrip Strength and Insulin Resistance in Korean Elderly Men without Diabetes: Findings of the 2015 Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey
Authors: Joo Kwang-Chae , Son Da-Hye , Park Jae-Min
Published: May 2022

Background: Evidence regarding the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and insulin resistance in a non-diabetic population is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the association between relative HGS and insulin resistance in older men without diabetes, using a representative sample of the Korean male population.Methods: The study population comprised 206 participants aged 65–80 years, selected from the 2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Insulin resistance was defined as the upper tertile of the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for insulin resistance were assessed using multiple logistic regression analyses after adjusting for confounding variables.Results: The prevalence of insulin resistance decreased with increasing relative HGS. The prevalence in the T1, T2, and T3 groups was 46.0%, 32.2%, and 26.4%, respectively. Compared with the individuals in the highest tertile of relative HGS, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for insulin resistance in individuals in the lowest quartile was 2.82 (1.10–7.21) after adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption, aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, residential area, household income, and education level.Conclusion: Lower relative HGS was inversely associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance in older Korean men without diabetes. In clinical practice, relative HGS, which is a simple and inexpensive tool, could be a useful measure for identifying older men with insulin resistance. Moreover, these findings suggest that muscle strengthening exercises should be considered to reduce insulin resistance and increase insulin sensitivity.
Alpha Blocker-Associated Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome
Authors: Saad Maha , Maisch Nicole
Published: May 2022

Objective To evaluate the literature related to the use of alpha1-blockers and the risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS), particularly in cataract surgery. IFIS is characterized by floppiness or billowing of the iris, iris prolapse, and progressive miosis, possibly
leading to severe complications. It is thought to be associated with adrenergic alpha-1 receptor antagonists commonly used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Data Sources A literature search was conducted in Pubmed, EMBASE,
and Web of Science through May 2021 with MeSH terms and keywords 'intraoperative floppy iris syndrome,’ ' adrenergic alpha-1 receptor antagonists,' and 'cataract surgery.' Study Selection and Data Extraction Relevant articles were reviewed and included. In addition,
reference lists from identified publications were reviewed to identify additional reports and studies of interest. Data Synthesis Numerous reports have linked IFIS to multiple risk factors including age, gender, hypertension, and the use of adrenergic alpha-1 receptor antagonists,
most notably tamsulosin. Tamsulosin selectively blocks the adrenergic alpha-1 receptor in the iris dilator muscle, preventing mydriasis during cataract surgery. Other adrenergic alpha-1 receptor antagonists, including terazosin, doxazosin, alfuzosin, and sildosin, have also been linked to
IFIS; however, their relationship to IFIS is not as well defined. Conclusion Patients should be educated regarding potential adverse effects and discuss this with their health care providers prior to cataract surgery. In addition, health care providers should be aware of
the adverse effect and take steps to reduce the risk of surgical complications.

Este artigo objetiva verificar como se apresentam as pesquisas sobre Formação de Professores que se utilizam da Modelagem Matemática nos últimos anos. A pesquisa é abordagem qualitativa e foi utilizado como pressuposto metodológico o mapeamento na pesquisa educacional. Os dados foram coletados a partir de 13 artigos selecionados nas bases de dados Scielo[1] e Google Acadêmico. Para análise, foram elencadas as seguintes categorias a priori: a) os objetivos da pesquisa, b) os sujeitos das pesquisas, e c) os resultados das pesquisas. Estas categorias ajudaram a perceber que a modelagem pode ser utilizada pelos profissionais da educação visando compreender a demanda do ensino da matemática que mais se aproxime da realidade do estudante. E ainda instigando-os para o processo de pesquisa e possibilitando-os solucionar determinados problemas, além de estimular o senso crítico e reflexivo de cada estudante. Os resultados apontam para uma discussão sobre a formação que alguns professores precisam dispor para que consigam realizar trabalhos utilizando a Modelagem Matemática. Nesse sentido, o professor além de ensinar, precisa saber modelar, para que assim possa criar modelos e construí-los em conjunto com os estudantes, fazendo desse trabalho uma constante em sua prática pedagógica.

DOS EXPERIENCIAS EDUCATIVAS, UNA PANDEMIA Y UN MODO DE ENTENDER LA GESTIÓN
Authors: Chaves Roberto Esteban  , Susana Copertari
Published: May 2022

El siguiente trabajo es el resultado del análisis de tres documentos seleccionados del Seminario TIC´s y Educación, dictado por la Prof. Mgtra. Susana Copertari (PHD-c), correspondiente a la “Maestría en Gestión y Asesoramiento de Instituciones Educativas” de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. Dos de los textos remiten a experiencias educativas, una en nivel superior bajo la modalidad virtual y la otra se trata de un EEMPA 1330 semipresencial con un 89% de clases virtuales y no presenciales en una plataforma Moodle del Ministerio de Educación de la provincia de Santa Fe Argentina. Se establecen similitudes y diferencias entre los mismos desde un paradigma teórico y metodológico socio crítico, complejo y comparativo constante (Freire, 1997; Morin, 2002; Bolsegui  y  Fuget Smith (2006). El tercer texto abordado, denominado “La cruel pedagogía del virus” del Dr. Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2020), se trata de una lectura crítica respecto a las secuelas de la pandemia visibilizando a los “grupos del sur”.

Los documentos se presentan en orden cronológico respecto al acontecimiento al cual hacen mención y no a la fecha de publicación.

Posicionado en el paradigma de la complejidad (Morin, 2002), se finaliza el trabajo con un análisis robusto respecto a la gestión, actual área de desempeño del maestrando, con autor de esta obra. Para ello se trae un personaje de ficción de la película Hombres de Negro III que nos ayudarán a trazar una cartografía de los conceptos trabajados a modo de ensamble para plantear algunas conclusiones.
EaD COMO CONTRIBUIÇÃO POSITIVA PARA INCLUSÃO SOCIAL
Authors: Michele Abib Pernice
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo busca propor uma reflexão sobre a nova modalidade de ensino a distância, e sua visão contributiva a inclusão social, a partir de suas vantagens e possibilidades de promoção social, além da educacional. Esse novo olhar de Ensino-aprendizagem tem sido bastante eficaz nas instituições de ensino superior, sejam estas de caráter público ou privado, já que está se define por um processo de transformação do ensino presencial para o tecnológico que pode ser utilizado por inúmeras pessoas da sociedade contemporânea, possibilitando que indivíduos mesmo com deficiência, sejam capazes desta prática de ensino.

Plastics as an environmental problem have been in the focus of science, politics and the public for a long time. Various sources and pathways have already been identified and a wide range of measures have been developed to reduce and, if possible, avoid inputs into the environment. Artificial grass pitches represent a special source of plastic inputs into the environment. Artificial grass with different infill materials has been widely used for some time now on surfaces for a wide range of sports, both amateur and professional. It is characterised by various advantages over natural grass. However, the use of artificial grass on sports surfaces also has its downsides, especially for the environment. On the one hand, the synthetic grass fibres themselves, which become detached through wear, are problematic. On the other hand, synthetic granulate is used as infill material on these pitches to reduce the risk of injury to players, to support the blades of artificial grass and to improve the playing characteristics of the field. However, this granulate can enter the environment in various ways - indirectly via drainage systems or directly. The following comments reflect research results from the InRePlast project. In the following chapter 2, the results of our own investigations on the topic are presented. In Chapter 3, these are compared to other publications and evaluated with regard to their significance. Chapter 4 is devoted to technical and organisational measures to reduce discharges as well as legal approaches to regulation. Finally, Chapter 5 draws a conclusion. Among other things, the study concludes that artificial grass pitches are less relevant as a specific source of plastic inputs than previously discussed. It should also be noted that the input into drainage systems via the collection of dirty water has a significantly higher relevance than the input via the collection of precipitation at the edge of the pitch and that measures should therefore focus on the carry-over on players' clothing and shoes.

Crash box is one of the passive safety components in vehicles, especially cars that are designed to reduce the occurrence of injuries to drivers and passengers due to collisions. This study aims to determine the energy absorption of the crash box with a multi-segment circular cross section. The research method used is quasi-experimental, namely by computer simulation using Finite Element Method-based software. The independent variable in this study is the location of the segment connection, including: 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2 of the total length of the crash box. While the dependent variables that are sought include: energy absorption, force reaction, and deformation patterns that occur in the crash box. The crash box will be hit by an impactor with a mass of 103 kg and a speed of 7.67 m/s. From the simulation results, the maximum energy absorption and force reaction values are found in the crash box at connection 1/2 of 1689.7 J and 67718 N, followed by connection 1/3 with values of 1221.2 J and 56127 N, and the last is at 1/4 connection is 1119.8 J and 55443 N. Judging from the deformation pattern, the connection at 1/4 and 1/3 is buckling so that the energy absorption is lower than the crash box at the 1/2 connection. It is concluded that the most optimal design of the crash box with a multi-segment circular cross section is the model at the 1/2 connection because it has the highest energy absorption value of the other 2 models and the deformation tends to be more stable.

Design and manufacture of this simulator aims to explain how the movement of the differential components. The components of this differential simulation consist of a differential case, pinion gear or spider gear, side gear, spider shaft, electric motor, pulley, v-belt and dimmer (motor speed controller). The method used in making this simulator is to start by first making a simulator design and then continuing with the collection of tools and materials needed. From testing the components of the simulator tool which was carried out for 50 minutes, it was found that every 10 minutes the temperature increased due to the lubrication system that was not maximized. Tests to determine the correlation between the dimmer and the RPM of the electric motor, it was found that any decrease in the resistance value will result in an increase in the RPM value of the electric motor. These results also show that the maximum value of the motor RPM after being assembled is 1435 RPM. Then the test when given a load found that the shaft axle rotation speed of the differential will change if there is a load on one side. From this test, it can be seen that there is an increase in the RPM value on the side of the shaft axle which rotates freely when the other shaft is given a load. With this simulator, it can also provide an overview of how the movement of the differential gears contained in the axle of a unit vehicle so that you can understand how it works
