Musical Activities of Primary School Students and Parents’ Engagement in Remote Music Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors:   University of Latvia, Stramkale Ligita
Published: May 2022

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the learning process of music in primary school determined the topicality of the paper.The aim of the study is to define the musical activities of primary school students and parental engagement in remote music learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Previous studies on students’ motivation to learn music remotely, teachers’ readiness to teach music online and parental engagement in musical activities of students were analysed, as well as an empirical study was carried out to achieve the study aim. The empirical study involved 162 (N=162) students aged eight to nine. Aquestionnaire was conducted to determine students’ musical activities and parental engagement. The statements in the questionnaire were grouped into four study scales: parental engagement in students’ musical activities; students’ independent musical activities; music genres that students prefer; the language in which students sing or listen to music. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Cronbach's alpha, and Pearson coefficient were used to analyse the study results. The study found that the parents watch musical shows and listen to music with their children more than sing or play a musical instrument. By analysing the students’ independent musical activities during remote music learning, it is determined that the dominant type of musical activity that both boys and girls prefer is listening to music. Primary school students use different types of music: folk music, classical music, and popular music. The study found that girls like folk music, while boys choose popular music genres. Students whose native language is not the official state language prefer to sing in both languages. However, they listen to compositions and dance to the music written in their native language. The study concluded that boys spend less time doing musical activities than girls, and that parental engagement in musical activities is essential for primary school students during remote music learning.
Situation Simulation as a Pedagogical Method in Teacher Education
Authors:   Jazeps Vitols Latvian Academy of Music, Medne Dace
Published: May 2022

The idea of sustainable development has been identified as the overarching goal of the 21st century in various sectors of the Latvian economy, including education. This idea of sustainability encourages teacher education programs to look for new approaches and pedagogical ways to achieve learning outcomes, i.e., to ensure that graduates are effective implementers of sustainability ideas in their professional careers. Simulation-based education has been found to be an effective way to address these challenges in many countries. It offers students the opportunity to learn in a safe environment, as well as promotes self-efficacy in their professional activities. This article highlights ways in which simulations can strengthen teachers' professional skills in everyday and critical professional situations. The aim of this publication is to analyse the effectiveness of the situation simulation method in the context of teacher education. The methodology of the research consists of a set of qualitative data obtained by interviewing 37 graduates of the teacher education program, for whom situation simulation was used as one of the methods during their studies. The professional benefits identified in the interviews were mapped in relation to the planned learning outcomes and it was concluded that this method can be used both as a teaching method and as a tool for assessing professional skills. The study data were analysed using the qualitative data processing program NVivo 12.0. Within the framework of the research, the benefits for students both in the study process and in starting an independent professional activity were analysed and described.
Introducing Veganism Education
Authors:   Daugavpils University, Daugulis Peteris
Published: May 2022

The current thinking of the majority of people is based on the tacit belief that animals are objects without consciousness that can be used as food, disguise material and toys. This view needs to be changed by introducing veganism -the scientifically based viewpoint that animals are relatively primitive conscious living beings that must be treated as such. The ongoing trend toward improving animal welfare and spreading acceptance of animal rights must be supported by educational efforts. The educational community must contribute to such a change in mentality by changing school culture and educational processes. The school education system must teach and support the vegan mentality and behavior. In this article, changes in educational goals and practices are described. Discussion topics about the use of animals for food, entertainment, and other purposes, are offered. Guidelines for promoting veganism and features for educational innovation are given.

Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Flow Formed F1e
Authors:   , Cooper Frederick J.
Published: May 2022

Flow forming is a cost-effective process for the manufacture of tubular and conical shaped products across the engineering community. In particular, given that it can produce a component to near net shape geometry, it can offer significant benefits for the efficient utilisation of material with minimal waste. Final machining is kept to a minimum, reducing workshop operations and tooling costs to a minimum and avoiding the generation and necessary recycling of large volumes of machined swarf. In aerospace parlance, flow forming is said to offer a high buy to fly ratio. The forming process induces characteristic stress and strain into the component. The localised response of the stock material to the cold work deformation will control the resultant microstructure, residual stress and subsequent mechanical properties of the component. A detailed understanding of the microstructural evolution is essential to avoid adverse texture, damage and, under a worst-case scenario, cracking. All features which cannot be tolerated in safety critical rotating components within an aero-engine. Previous campaigns have successfully optimised the flow form process for a range of established high strength steels and nickel-based superalloys, with both alloy systems now routinely employed in shaft and thrust bearing components in modern gas turbine engines. This study focusses on a novel maraging steel, F1e, originally developed for potential application as a shaft material. Full scale component trials were assessed for microstructure-property relationships.
Ser empleado: un orgullo del siglo XX transformado en estigma en el siglo XXI
Authors: Castillo Gil Enrique , González Martínez María Cristina
Published: May 2022

Las empresas en México hoy en día compiten fuertemente por atraer y retener talento innovando constantemente en metodologías para motivar a los empleados y candidatos. Sin embargo, la capacidad de retener al talento empleado se ha ido complicando bajo las nuevas tendencias del siglo XXI. El supuesto generalizado es que esto es debido en gran parte a las diferencias entre generaciones (baby boomers, Gen X, millennials y Generación Z) y que los más jóvenes no tienen el compromiso necesario para ser empleados, además de ser difíciles de gestionar. Este estudio inició con el objetivo de detectar los comportamientos generacionales de los empleados y encontrar variables de motivación que permitieran mejorar la captación y retención del talento. Se encontraron variables que afectan directamente la intención del empleado a cambiar de empresa, pero ninguna presentó correlación alguna con la edad. Los resultados señalan que el problema de atracción y retención no es de tipo generacional, sino contextual, es decir, afecta por igual al empleado indistintamente de su edad. Además, se identificó claramente una expectativa subyacente en la mayoría de los profesionistas mexicanos encuestados a volverse autónomos o empresarios en lugar de empleados. Esta expectativa afecta directamente a la empresa que tiene empleados queriendo ser empresarios, e indirectamente a las empresas que no logran conseguir talento porque este prefiere no emplearse. El problema se agravó con el desarrollo de nuevos modelos de trabajo a partir del 2020, por lo que el “ser empleado” está perdiendo su atractivo y rentabilidad.
estudo dos processos de prova dos alunos no colégio
Authors: Balacheff Nicolas , Almouloud Saddo Ag , Moretti Méricles Tadeu
Published: May 2022

O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar os fundamentos da crença dos alunos na validade de uma afirmação em sua atividade matemática: o que eles reconhecem na prática como uma prova e como eles tratam uma refutação. Concentrou-se neste estudo nas relações entre o processo de comprovação dos alunos, os conhecimentos de que dispõem, a linguagem que podem utilizar e o papel do contexto situacional. Os tipos de processos de prova evidenciados pelos alunos não caracterizam intrinsecamente o que poderíamos chamar sua “racionalidade”, na medida em que diferentes níveis de prova puderam ser observados em sua atividade de resolução de problemas. O significado dos processos de prova não pode ser compreendido sem uma análise cuidadosa das concepções dos alunos sobre os conceitos matemáticos envolvidos e sua leitura da situação em que atuam. As características da situação parecem determinar o nível de comprovação, ao passo que a imagem que os alunos têm da matemática também desempenha um papel importante, principalmente no tratamento das refutações. Observa-se que a passagem de provas pragmáticas para provas intelectuais requer uma base cognitiva e linguística. Desprezar a complexidade desta passagem pode ser uma das principais razões para o fracasso do ensino da prova matemática, uma vez que esta passagem é muitas vezes considerada apenas no nível lógico. Em geometria em particular, este ensino ocorre em um campo conceitual que, para os alunos ainda, não se constituiu como uma teoria; já que a geometria era para eles essencialmente restrita à observação e construção de objetos geométricos sem necessidade de prova. Assim, o ensino da prova está associado ao que poderia ser descrito como uma quebra cognitiva na atividade do aluno, relacionada à quebra didática representada pela nova exigência de provas matemáticas.

Lapsuuden sosioekonominen asema ja elintavat heijastuvat myöhempään terveyteen ja voivat osin selittää terveyseroja. Jo päiväkoti-ikäisillä lapsilla havaitaan sosioekonomisia eroja ruokavaliossa. Suomessa on tutkittu vanhempien koulutuksen yhteyttä lasten ruokavalioon, mutta ajankohtainen tutkimustieto perheen tulojen ja koetun toimeentulon yhteydestä lasten ruokavalioon puuttuu.
Tutkimme perheen suhteellisten tulojen ja koetun toimeentulon yhteyttä 3–6-vuotiaiden lasten (n=815) ruoankäyttöön ja ravintoaineiden saantiin. Tutkimusaineisto on Folkhälsanin tutkimuskeskuksen ja Helsingin yliopiston DAGIS-hankkeesta, jonka päätavoitteina oli tuottaa uutta tietoa päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten elintavoista sekä selvittää sosioekonomisen aseman yhteyttä elintapoihin. Poikkileikkaustutkimuksen ruokapäiväkirja-aineisto kerättiin vuosina 2015–2016 kahdeksassa kunnassa yhteensä 66 päiväkodissa.
Havaitsimme, että alimpaan suhteellisten tulojen kolmannekseen kuuluminen oli yhteydessä vähäisempään terveellisten ruokien, kuten kasvisten, marjojen, rasvattoman maidon ja kalaruokien käyttöön, mutta suurempaan makkararuokien ja sokeroitujen virvoitusjuomien kulutukseen. Alimpaan tulokolmannekseen kuuluminen oli yhteydessä usean terveydelle edullisen ravintoaineen, kuten kuidun, D-vitamiinin, folaatin ja C-vitamiinin vähäisempään saantiin, mutta suurempaan kokonaisrasvan ja tyydyttyneiden rasvahappojen saantiin. Koetun toimeentulon suhteen havaittiin vähemmän, mutta osin vastaavia eroja, kuin tulojen suhteen. Yhteyksiä tutkittiin käyttäen hierarkkista lineaarista mallia.
Havaitsemamme erot lasten ruoankäytössä ja ravintoaineiden saannissa osoittavat, että terveellisen ruokavalion edistämistä lapsuudessa tulisi tukea entistä enemmän yhteiskunnallisella tasolla. Erityistä huomiota tulisi kiinnittää pienituloisiin perheisiin, jotta terveyserojen muodostumiseen voitaisiin puuttua jo varhaisessa vaiheessa.

Published: May 2022

The spread of COVID-19 and the changes in clinical symptoms create unprecedented conditions for the growth of morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with cardiac pathology.The aim of this work is to consider the main aspects of cardiac pathology in patients with COVID-19.Resume. The limitation of timely requests for help led to a decrease in hospitalizations of patients with acute cardiac events, with the progression of heart failure (especially in older people), which, in a short time, led to an increase in mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Risk/safety assessment of cardiac drug combination in COVID-19 patients is becoming essential.Conclusions. The virus is mutating, but the medical community responds quickly to news on diagnosis, progression, and treatment COVID-19. The discussion is controversial, and treatment protocols with the inclusion of drugs with proven positive clinical results on the basis of clinical trials are constantly updated. Vaccination allows, if not at 100% of cases, to avoid the disease, nevertheless it make to reduce its severity and mortality. These factors, taking into account the characteristics of cardiac pathology, are fundamental for the control of COVID-19.

Published: May 2022

In the treatment of periodontal diseases, to achieve the stabilization of the pathological process and its elimination at the earliest stages, it is important to conduct timely comprehensive therapy. Given this, the development of more effective methods of drug treatment is of considerable practical and theoretical interest. In the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis in patients with urolithiasis, a new technique based on the developed dental film was used. Clinical research methods and index evaluation have confirmed the effectiveness of this method in patients with concomitant urolithiasis.The aim of the work is to optimize local pharmacotherapy in the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis on the background of urolithiasis with the use of dental film.Material and methods. Treatment of generalized periodontitis of the II degree of severity was performed in 85 patients with concomitant urolithiasis (44 patients were the main group using the dental film we treated and 41 - control group, where treatment was performed by conventional methods) according to the protocol of periodontal treatment. Clinical data and index estimates were used to objectify the condition of periodontal tissues in patients.Research results. The effectiveness of the proposed method of treatment of generalized periodontitis is confirmed by reducing the duration of treatment, prolonging the period of clinical stabilization and normalization of clinical and paraclinical studies in patients treated with the developed method in the near and long term after treatment.Conclusion. Clinical evaluation of the developed drug indicates a significant positive effect of its use in the treatment of generalized periodontitis. The positive effect of the dental film is caused by wound-healing, anti inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-edematous and locally analgesic effect of this drug.
Advantages of determining the level of glomerular filtration rate in patients with kidney disease using cystatin C compared with creatinine
Authors: Abrahamovych K. , Kurban M. , Chmyr N.
Published: May 2022

Chronic kidney disease is an invariably important problem for humanity. The timely and accurate diagnosis of kidney disease remains an important aspect in the fight against its chronicity.The glomerular filtration rate is a major indicator of renal function. Convenient and reliable calculation of glomerular filtration rate plays a significant role. This paper examines sources of information on the advantages and disadvantages of calculating the level of glomerular filtration rate in patients with nephrological pathology using cystatin C as a more accurate marker of diagnosis compared with creatinine. Thus, the glomerular filtration rate is still considered the best indicator of renal function. In clinical practice, the creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate is a typical method of assessing renal function in healthy individuals and nephrological patients. Recently, researchers and clinicians have recognized the limitations of using serum creatinine alone to evaluate renal function, as this may lead to inaccurate determination of glomerular filtration rate, especially in populations with abnormal distribution or muscle mass generation. To improve the quality and accuracy of glomerular filtration rate, several new biomarkers have been proposed, one of which is cystatin C, as it is of considerable benefit in assessing renal function in combination with creatinine. Because cystatin C has not yet been established as a common marker in clinical practice, the biomarker can still be called a relatively new indicator, even though about 30 years have passed since its discovery. However, cystatin C has become increasingly crucial in nephrology since its discovery. Large-scale cohort studies have demonstrated the benefit of determining glomerular filtration rate using cystatin C-based equations or combined equations (creatinine and cystatin C) compared to creatinine-only equations.
BEYOND THE PUBLIC HEALTH NARRATIVE: ABSTINENCE-ONLY EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Published: May 2022

This research studies the intention and endeavour of Christian-based organizations, namely the Family Research Council and Family Policy Alliance in disseminating the notion of sexuality in American society. This research utilizes a narrative analysis strategy and employs the following steps: 1) close reading the collected documents; 2) categorizing the recurring patterns of narratives using sociological perspective and cultural reproduction theory; 3) drawing a conclusion on the intention and efforts of Family Research Council and Family Policy Alliance in spreading the knowledge of sexuality.  Using the narratives of aspirations and tensions which surrounds sexuality, this study shows that Family Research Council and Family Policy Alliance uphold Christian values as the organization's foundation and attempt to secure those principles in the ‘sex-saturated society.’ To accomplish the mission, Family Research Council and Family Policy Alliance promote abstinence-only education and oppose comprehensive sex education, arguing that comprehensive sex education holds liberal values that threaten the sanctity of the heterosexual relationship. This research demonstrates that Family Research Council and Family Policy Alliance, as Christian-based organizations, strive to preserve the conservative values that have been passed down from generation to generation.

UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION STRATEGIES IN INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE SCHOOLS IN NORTHWEST AREA OF THE UNITED STATES
Authors: Kusumaningsih Sisilia Novena
Published: May 2022

The expansion of globalization and the demand to establish one lingua franca for international communication has brought a significant impact on the decline of local languages around the globe. This issue calls for language revitalization programs so that all the Indigenous languages can be passed on to the younger generations. This small-sample-qualitative study describes the strategies used by Indigenous language schools in the Northwest area of the United States and further elaborating on the unique elements of those strategies. Five websites covering the information on Indigenous language school programs in Kalispell, Inchelium, Spokane, Browning, and Arlee were analyzed. In general, schools emphasize the relationality between elders, community, and educational institutions to preserve the language successfully. In addition, technology was utilized to help younger generations access materials more easily. This connection was built through creating listening materials by recording and transcribing the remaining fluent speakers, recording songs and lullabies, introducing Indigenous languages through storybooks, and launching mobile-friendly language apps.

Authors: Kachachi Inaam
Published: May 2022

The American Granddaughter is a novel about the war-torn country, Iraq, following the horrific aftermaths caused by the American invasion of it in 2003. The story is told mainly by the young American-Iraqi woman, Zeina, who represents the third Iraqi generation. Zeiena’s mother, Betoul, who represents the second Iraqi generation, and Zeina’s grandmother, Rahma, who represents the first generation, were present too. Although it is very short, chapter one says a lot about Zeina , now back home in America, after a unique experience as an American Arabic-speaking translator recruited by an American contractor that extended over five years (2003-2008). The first chapter beautifully sets the scene for what will come next in the following chapters.

Ícaro y Prometeo en tiempos de confusión y frustración: La filosofía como respuesta a la problemática de la criminalidad
Authors:   , Gil Del Rey Adolfo
Published: May 2022

En esta Tesis, realizaré una lectura crítica y análisis de las fuentes filosóficas y jurídicas para ver como encuadran con el sistema jurídico penal no sólo en el aspecto procesal, sino a un nivel abstracto dogmático, reflexionaré sobre los distintos conceptos en boga desde una perspectiva sincrónica y diacrónica, utilizando la comparación y el contraste para profundizar no sólo en el análisis sino en la praxis, la investigación, será entonces, desde una perspectiva cualitativa. En el primer capítulo abarcaré cuatro subtemas, el Manifiesto de Sevilla de las Naciones Unidas en primer lugar, en segundo lugar, Sobre la virtud del egoísmo y la ética de las emergencias de Ayn Rand, para continuar con Erich Fromm y el corazón del hombre finalizando con El Anillo de Giges. En el segundo capítulo abarcaré la base del Derecho y por tanto la base del Derecho Penal, empezando por Kant y su imperativo categórico, el deber por el deber mismo y de tratar al otro como fin y no como medio, como una norma universal de la cual se desprenden todo el demás aparato jurídico de cualquier índole, y en especial, el penal. En el capítulo tercero, estudiaré la posible abolición del sistema carcelario pasando por diferentes pensamientos de dos autores emblemáticos como lo son Luok Hulsman o Nils Christie. En el cuarto y último capítulo, tocaré el tema más controversial e importante de toda la tesis, ¿Qué pasa cuando es la misma sociedad el factor criminal? ¿Qué pasa cuando todos creemos tomar las decisiones por nosotros mismos, pero no es así?
Un análisis crítico de los principales instrumentos de regulación ambiental en México
Authors:   , Zetina Cardona Carlos Santiago
Published: May 2022

El propósito de la investigación consiste en analizar críticamente el derecho positivo ambiental mexicano, así como su relación con el derecho constitucional, administrativo, tributario y procesal, para identificar falacias y errores, formales e informales, que inciden en la operación de los principales instrumentos de regulación ambiental y que pueden conducir a la contaminación ambiental, el agotamiento de recursos naturales, la impunidad a infractores de las disposiciones jurídicas en materia ambiental y, finalmente, la violación sistemática de derechos humanos y las garantías constitucionales para su efectiva defensa. La investigación se integra por cuatro secciones principales: En la primera, se analizan los instrumentos para la aplicación de política ambiental mexicana, fundamentalmente el ordenamiento ecológico del territorio, la regulación ambiental de asentamientos humanos, el cambio de uso de suelo forestal y la evaluación de impacto ambiental; con la intención de acreditar cómo, individual y colectivamente, han sido incapaces de lograr la correcta ordenación ambiental en México. En la segunda, se estudian los principales instrumentos para controlar la aplicación de política ambiental mexicana, a saber: la Normas Oficiales Mexicanas en materia ambiental, las visitas de inspección y las sanciones administrativas; con el propósito de identificar deficiencias jurídicas que disminuyen su capacidad para vigilar, corregir y sancionar conductas o actividades humanas que contravengan los objetivos de la política ambiental y comprometan su adecuado funcionamiento. En la tercera, se examina a la denuncia popular, como uno de los más importantes mecanismos de participación social y acceso a la justicia en la regulación de política ambiental mexicana; destacando cómo su indebida regulación jurídica y extremada laxitud para con la administración, desemboca en la imposibilidad de lograr una gestión democrática ambiental. Finalmente, en la cuarta, se reflexiona alrededor de los principales mecanismos administrativos y jurisdiccionales orientados a ejercer un control de legalidad sobre los actos y resoluciones definitivas emanadas de los instrumentos estudiados en las secciones I, II y III de la presente investigación; advirtiendo sus problemas y limitaciones para garantizar la justicia ambiental en México.
