Transición de clases virtuales a híbridas en la carrera de Biología: análisis de la motivación, estrategias de aprendizaje e interacción
Authors: Maqueda Sánchez Nancy , Cruz González José Luis , Ruiz Carrillo Edgardo , Meraz Martínez José Samuel
Published: July 2023

Los modelos de aprendizaje virtual e híbrido se han considerado ventajosos debido a los recursos que brindan al profesorado y al estudiantado; sin embargo, aún no se ha discutido su aplicación secuencial. Con el objetivo de analizar las relaciones entre las variables motivación, estrategias de aprendizaje y percepción de la interacción entre el profesorado y estudiantado, se describen los cambios presentados al pasar de la modalidad virtual a la híbrida durante la pandemia. Se utilizó un enfoque de método mixto mediante el diseño de una estrategia explicativa secuencial (Creswell,2008) con observaciones en la primera y última unidad de la asignatura de fisicoquímica, correspondiente al segundo semestre de la carrera de Biología a nivel universitario, con un alcance descriptivo correlacional. Las personas participantes fueron 65 estudiantes a quienes se les administró el Inventario de interacción maestro-estudiante (IIP-A;T-SII), el Cuestionario de motivación y Estrategias de aprendizaje - forma corta (CMEA-FC; MSLQ-SF); además se aplicó una entrevista focal a ambos grupos y una entrevista semiestructurada a cada persona docente. Los resultados muestran que después de cambiar de enseñanza virtual a híbrida, aumentó la motivación por la tarea y disminuyó tanto la motivación intrínseca como las estrategias de aprendizaje. Se concluye que el estudiantado se adaptó a las condiciones de enseñanza-aprendizaje al alterar su forma de motivarse y aprender en compañía del profesorado, ya que en las clases híbridas disminuyó el uso de recursos personales porque el aprendizaje fue menos autogestionado que en las clases virtuales. Se recomienda que en futuras investigaciones se desarrollen programas enfocados en enseñar al estudiantado el uso de estrategias de aprendizaje acorde a la modalidad educativa en la que se encuentren. Asimismo, se sugiere crear espacios de reflexión en los que el profesorado y el estudiantado puedan dar cuenta de su vivencia y así generar nuevas líneas de investigación enfocadas a las repercusiones educativas postpandemia en el nivel educativo superior.
Danza, música y literatura como estrategia didáctica para un diálogo intercultural en la región Andina
Authors: Cabal Pérez Cindy Johanna , Urbano Bravo Luis Alberto , Vega Castañeda Luis Felipe
Published: July 2023

En la actualidad, se observa un creciente fenómeno de desvinculación con los saberes ancestrales que caracterizan a las regiones colombianas, particularmente a la región Andina. Esto ha llevado a la pérdida de algunas tradiciones y costumbres, que no son transmitidas y, por ende, no son preservadas. Por esta razón, es imprescindible implementar acciones en el ámbito educativo que promuevan el reconocimiento cultural de esta región. De esta manera, se busca fomentar una conexión más profunda con las raíces culturales, asegurando así su continuidad y valoración en las nuevas generaciones. El objetivo de la investigación, de la cual se arroja este artículo, es generar un diálogo intercultural que permita el desarrollo de una identificación y reconocimiento cultural, por medio de la danza, la música y la literatura de la región Andina en los departamentos de Cundinamarca y Nariño, en las instituciones educativas Juan Luis Londoño de la Cuesta y la Institución Educativa Municipal el Encano. Para la recolección de datos, se utilizaron tres técnicas: encuesta, observación directa y entrevista. Se aplicó una encuesta con un cuestionario de diecinueve preguntas cerradas para identificar los conocimientos que tenían el estudiantado sobre la cultura del departamento en el que no habitan. Además, se realizó observación directa y entrevistas para complementar la información obtenida a través de la encuesta. Por lo tanto, se generaron espacios con los diferentes educandos de dos instituciones educativas, donde se dio un diálogo intercultural que permitió la identificación y el reconocimiento de la cultura propia de la región Andina. El estudio de esta investigación arrojó resultados significativos. El estudiantado logro una comprensión profunda de las disciplinas, mostrándose más participativos y superando la timidez. Como recomendación, se sugiere continuar con la enseñanza integrada de estas disciplinas, fomentando la colaboración entre instituciones educativas y aprovechando la tecnología como medio para enriquecer la experiencia.

Authors: López Umaña Lucía Isabel
Published: July 2023

La tecnología digital y los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (EVA) desempeñan un papel fundamental en la educación. Mediante el análisis del aprendizaje (LA) se pueden recopilar y analizar datos generados en los EVA con el fin de mejorar el proceso de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, es necesario optimizar el uso de la información recopilada en estos entornos. El objetivo principal de este ensayo es examinar cómo el análisis de estos datos puede potenciar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y mejorar los resultados académicos. Se presentan investigaciones y ejemplos que ilustran la implementación del LA en diferentes contextos educativos, incluida su aplicación en Latinoamérica, incluido Costa Rica. El ensayo se basa en un análisis documental que utiliza criterios de búsqueda y selección de materiales para respaldar los argumentos expuestos. Se han considerado publicaciones relevantes sobre el LA en la educación superior, el análisis de datos en EVA y la personalización del aprendizaje a través del LA. Se emplearon buscadores y bases de datos como Google Académico, EBSCO y SCOPUS, entre otros, con palabras clave como learning analytics, educación en línea, tecnología educativa y evaluación del aprendizaje. El análisis de datos facilita la mejora del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje al brindar retroalimentación significativa y oportuna tanto a estudiantes como a docentes. Las investigaciones en el campo del LA provienen principalmente de países europeos, Corea del Sur, China y Norteamérica. El campo de estudio del LA está en crecimiento en Latinoamérica, donde destacan Colombia, Brasil y Ecuador como principales productores en la región. En Costa Rica el campo del LA aún se encuentra en desarrollo y hay escasas publicaciones sobre el tema. En conclusión, a pesar de su incipiente desarrollo en la región, incluido Costa Rica, la implementación del LA tiene potencial de fortalecer el proceso de aprendizaje-enseñanza.

A 16-year-old castrated male Persian cat was presented with weight loss, anorexia and dyspnoea. Tachycardia and tachypnoea were observed upon presentation. The cat was previously diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and left ventricular hypertrophy and received methimazole, but was subsequently not followed up and treated appropriately. Thoracic radiography revealed mild pleural effusion, interstitial lung pattern, moderate cardiomegaly and moderate-to-severe dilation of the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein. On echocardiography, the left ventricular hypertrophy, identified earlier, shoed partial regression. Therefore, the previous myocardial hypertrophy was diagnosed as a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype related to hyperthyroidism. ST-segment elevation was identified on electrocardiography, and the thyroid profile examination revealed increased total thyroxine and free thyroxine and decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, suggesting myocardial injury and uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, respectively. In addition, normal N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and high cardiac troponin I levels were found. Based on these findings, the observed congestive heart failure was considered as a sequel of myocardial injury caused by uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. Clinical signs resolved after intravenous administration of furosemide and butorphanol, oxygen supply and thoracocentesis. Furosemide and pimobendan were additionally administered, and the cat was discharged. This case demonstrates that myocardial damage due to chronic uncontrolled hyperthyroidism may cause heart failure in cats.

Ideological Construction of the Mass Media: Study of Religious Moderation News in the National Online News Media and its Relation to Moderate Da’wah
Authors: Sunaryanto Sunaryanto , Rizal Sofyan
Published: July 2023

This study analyzes the ideological construction of the mass media in reporting on religious moderation and its relation to moderate da’wah on Kompas.com and Mediaindonesia.com. This research is a type of qualitative research. News as a unit of analysis was selected by purposive sampling each of 3 (news) for each media. Problems are analyzed with Robert M. Entman's framing analysis which is part of the analysis of mass media texts. This research concludes that Kompas and Media Indonesia construct ideology in religious moderation news which is associated with issues of intolerance and radicalism. These two national media construct news on religious moderation using a moderate national ideology. Concerning moderate da’wah, these two national media do not directly write news with moderate da’wah messages. These two national media construct support for moderate da’wah narratives by constructing religious moderation news. Ideologically, these two national online news media construct news by supporting the practice of religious moderation and the practice of moderate da’wah. The implication is that these two national online mass media need to continue to produce news campaigning for religious moderation and moderate da’wah. News construction related to religious moderation and moderate da’wah needs to be done to help prevent the emergence of radical, extremist, and liberal views.

Authors: Mahatma Masmuni
Published: July 2023

This study aims to explore and analyze the concepts proposed by Al-Farabi regarding the ideal state or virtuous city to enrich our understanding of how Islamic nations can address the challenges of modernity and democracy while maintaining a balanced approach to core Islamic values. This research adopts a literature review methodology, gathering and analyzing various primary and secondary sources related to Al-Farabi's political thoughts on the concept of the ideal state. Al-Farabi's ideas about the ideal state or virtuous city provide essential principles for building a nation that prioritizes the well-being of its society. In the modern context, Al-Farabi's ideas can inspire and guide societies in developing inclusive, just, and sustainable political systems. The holistic concept of political wisdom by Al-Farabi can offer an appropriate framework for inclusive Islamic propagation grounded in various essential principles from Al-Farabi's central city. Applying Al-Farabi's philosophical perspective within the context of propagation enables the Islamic community to navigate the complexities of the modern world while remaining true to their Islamic identity.

RESUMO Objetivos: o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os resultados da cirurgia do câncer de reto, em uma unidade que adota os princípios da excisão total do mesorreto (ETM) com baixa taxa de amputação abdominoperineal (AAP). Métodos: os pacientes com câncer retal extraperitoneal foram submetidos a ETM ou ETM com amputação abdominoperianeal. Pacientes com tumores de reto médio foram submetidos a EMT e pacientes com tumores de reto inferior e sem critérios para AAP foram submetidos a EMT e ressecção interesfincteriana. Aqueles em que o espaço interesfincteriano foi invadido e naqueles com margem distal livre menor que 1cm ou margem radial livre de tumor foram inatingíveis foram submetidos a AAP ou excisão abdominoperineal extraelevadora (ELAPE). Avaliamos as taxas de recorrência local, sobrevida global e envolvimento da margem radial. Resultados: sessenta (89,6%) pacientes realizaram ETM e sete (10,4%) ETM + AAP, dos quais cinco realizaram ELAPE. A recidiva local, em pacientes submetidos a ETM com ressecção anterior baixa, foi de 3,3% e em pacientes submetidos a AAP, 14,3%. A taxa de recorrência local (p=0,286) ou a taxa de recorrência à distância (p=1,000) foi semelhante entre os grupos. Não houve envolvimento das margens radiais. A sobrevida após 120 meses foi semelhante (p=0,239). Conclusão: as neoplasias malignas retais, incluindo aquelas localizadas no reto baixo, podem ser tratadas cirurgicamente com baixo índice de AAP, sem comprometer os princípios oncológicos e com baixo índice de recorrência local.

ABSTRACT Objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of rectal cancer surgery, in a unit adopting the principles of total mesorectal excision (TME) with a high restorative procedure rate and with a low rate of abdominoperineal excision (APE). Methods: we enrolles patients with extraperitoneal rectal cancer undergoing TME or TME+APE. Patients with mid rectal tumors underwent TME, and patients with tumors of the lower rectum and no criteria for APE underwent TME and intersphincteric resection. Those in which the intersphincteric space was invaded and in those with a free distal margin less than 1cm or a tumor free radial margin were unattainable underwent APE or extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE). We assessed local recurrence rates, overall survival and involvement of the radial margin. Results: sixty (89.6%) patients underwent TME and seven (10.4%) TME + APE, of which five underwent ELAPE. The local recurrence, in pacientes undergoing TME+LAR, was 3.3% and in patients undergoing APE, 14.3%. The local recurrence rate (p=0.286) or the distant recurrence rate (p=1.000) was similar between groups. There was no involvement of radial margins. Survival after 120 months was similar (p=0.239). Conclusion: rectal malignancies, including those located in the low rectum, may be surgically treated with a low rate of APE without compromising oncological principles and with a low local recurrence rates.

Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: this research objective was to develop a new peritoneal adhesion animal model that would lead to adhesions formation in all operated animals, simple and reproducible, associated with maintenance the animal’s health. Methods: eighteen adult male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly distributed into three groups: Control Group (anatomical and clinical parameters), Sham Group (delicate manipulation of the stomach and exposure of the peritoneal cavity to ambient air) and Surgery Group (gastrotomy followed by gastrorrhaphy). The animals were analyzed and classificated macroscopically according to two adhesion classification models and differences between groups were considered significant when p<0.05. Results: the six animals in the control group had no peritoneal adhesions, three of the six animals in the sham group had focal peritoneal adhesions, and all animals in the surgery group (gastrotomy followed by gastrorraphy) had firm peritoneal adhesions. All adhesions found were macroscopically quantified and microscopically confirmed, without carrying out a microscopic classification of the adhesions. Conclusion: the new model developed of gastrotomy followed by gastrorrhaphy, proved to be safe and efficient to induce and study peritoneal adhesions.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: In this study, we propose an indicator of air pollution exposure to identify potential hazardous areas for human health in the Amazon and Central-West Regions of Brazil from 2010 to 2019. This indicator aggregates both concentrations and time of exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), according to the current limit recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). We used daily PM2.5 averages obtained from the Brazilian Health Integrated Environmental Information System (SISAM) to calculate the percentages of days with PM2.5 concentrations exceeding the limit of 15µg/m³ per year and per month. From 2010 to 2019, the months from August to October presented the largest areas and the highest percentages of days with unacceptable pollution concentration values, harmful to human health. These areas were concentrated in the Arc of Deforestation. Therefore, 60% of the residents of the Amazon and Central-West regions were subjected to inadequate air quality for approximately six months per year. The proposed indicator is reproducible and appropriate to monitor areas of exposure and risk for human health.
ENGAGEMENT, DELIBERATION AND INFORMATION: HOW STUDENTS THINK ABOUT DEMOCRACY
Authors: ELY ISADORA GRAEFF BINS , COSTA ANGELO BRANDELLI , BRASIL MARINA VALENTIM
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT: This work sought to understand the how high school students in a public school in Porto Alegre (RS) understand the concept of democracy. The premise of this objective is that understanding democracy is necessary to engage effectively in civic society and that this could also show how education can affect public life in this context. This is a qualitative and exploratory study and is part of a larger piece of research. A school was contacted in May 2018, and 197 high school students participated in the survey. The article will present the results of the analysis of the students' answers to the question “What is democracy?”. Thematic Analysis was used as the method. Five thematic axes were generated, based on the responses of the participants, in which their ideas about democracy seem to show a significant lack of interest in the subject of democracy. It is argued that, despite the many resources available to promote it nowadays and clear pro-democracy postures being taken, the biggest barrier to its effective exercise in public life may still be the lack of opportunities to be politically active, by providing more information and defending the values of democracy.We lack, therefore, support from institutions for an aspect that has been clearly evidenced to be indispensable, according to the academic literature: political education. It is argued that the most deficient aspect in achieving active youth citizenship is ensuring that they do have the opportunity to develop their understanding, and this must take place within schools..

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to map the current status of research in engineering education from the perspective of sustainability, bibliometrix and biblioshiny packages were employed to perform data mining and quantitative analysis of publications in this area of knowledge from 2012 to 2022 in the Web of Science database. The results showed that in the last 10 years, the number of articles on teaching sustainability in engineering has increased. The increase was gradual and can be divided into three stages, between 2012 and 2016 the publications ranged from 130 to 150, from 2017 to 2019 the publications went from 150 to 190 and from 2020 to 2021 it exceeded 200 articles. The top countries in terms of research development in the area of sustainability education in engineering are the United States, Spain, China, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and Italy, as well as being the most important countries for international cooperation in this area. Sustainable development, engineering education, students, education, curriculum, teaching, and sustainability were the most frequently mentioned keywords in this field in the last 10 years. Within this field, the use of active methodologies, sustainable development, good pedagogical and sustainability practices, and the construction of competencies and skills are emerging as research topics. The teaching of sustainability in engineering is a relatively new theme, however, due to the urgency of the subject many studies have been developed and many others are unfolding, however, the complexity of the theme does not exhaust the gaps in the subject
An empirical analysis of pork price fluctuations in China with the autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model
Authors: Jin Ting , Li Lei
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT: Pork price fluctuations are closely related to the national economy and people’s livelihoods in China. Based on the monthly pork price fluctuations in China from January 2011 to August 2022, this study uses ARCH family models to assess the characteristics and laws of these fluctuations in China. The pork price fluctuations show obvious clustering, with external shock information from the previous month affecting the pork price in the following period; the pork market price is characterized by risk compensation, with the high risk of pork supply driving the pork price up. In addition, the pork price fluctuations are characterized by asymmetry, with a greater impact of good than of bad news on the pork price. Due to the pork industry’ low entry threshold and the existence of sunk costs, positive information on the pork market has a stronger impact on price fluctuations than negative information. To guide pork supply, we recommend improving monitoring and early-warning mechanisms in the pork market to identify the pork price volatility threshold and measure the price volatility. In addition, price index insurance products should be constantly strengthened, with different types of insurance products being offered to meeting the insurance demand of various sectors in the pig meat supply chain.

ABSTRACT: It is important to determine the number of plants to be evaluated to allow accurate inferences about the traits under evaluation. Investigating the linear relations among traits is important for identifying traits for indirect selection. So, the objectives of this study were to determine the sample size (number of plants) necessary to estimate the means of forage pea traits and to investigate the relations among the traits. Experiments were carried out in 2021 with three sowing dates (May 3, May 26 and July 13). Five hundred plants were randomly sampled, 100 plants in each of the five evaluation dates (June 25, August 30, July 24, September 17, September 16). In these 500 plants, the traits plant height, number of branches, number of nodes, number of leaves, number of pods, fresh matter of leaves, fresh matter of stems, fresh matter of pods, fresh matter of shoots, dry matter of leaves, dry matter of stems, dry matter of pods, and dry matter of shoots, were evaluated. The sample size was calculated to estimate the means of these traits, based on Student’s t-distribution, and the relations among traits were investigated through correlation and path analysis. In an experiment, to estimate the means of these 13 traits of forage pea, with an estimation error of approximately 10% of the mean, 99 plants per treatment should be sampled. The numbers of pods and leaves have a positive linear relations with fresh and dry matter of shoots.

ABSTRACT: When applied at growing phase, lighting program aims to obtain quails with body weight and physiological maturity suitable for the beginning of laying. This study evaluated lighting programs at growing phase on performance, sexual maturity and egg quality of meat quail breeders (Coturnixcoturnix) at laying phase. From 7 to 49 days of age, 300 female meat quails were subjected to three lighting programs (natural, intermittent and continuous), with 5 replicates of 20 birds each. At 49 days of age, 240 quails were transferred to a shed, maintaining the same experimental conditions. Meat quails submitted to continuous and intermittent lighting programs had higher weight of reproductive system and lower ages for first egg production and to reach 50% of egg production (P < 0.05). Quails submitted to natural lighting had lower feed intake from 49 to 70 and 71 to 92 days of age and worse feed conversion up to 114 days of age. Continuous and intermittent lighting programs resulted in more precocious quails compared to natural lighting program. Quails submitted to natural lighting at growing phase presented lower egg production during all periods, not differing for birds submitted to continuous and intermittent programs from the second period (71 to 92 days of age). Intermittent and continuous lighting result in better feed conversion of breeding quails up to 114 days and a higher percentage of laying (49 to 136 days), reducing the number of days to produce the first egg and to reach 50% of laying, in relation to natural lighting.
EXPANDABLE INTRAVERTEBRAL IMPLANTS IN POST-TRAUMATIC VERTEBRAL NECROSIS - NEW CLASSIFICATION SUGGESTION
Authors: MOURA DIOGO LINO , GABRIEL JOSUÉ PEREIRA
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT The progressive evolution of post-traumatic vertebral necrosis and consequent loss of structural integrity of the vertebral body along with neurological risk, makes it one of the most feared and unpredictable pathologies in spine traumatology. Several studies have addressed the role of vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and corpectomy in its treatment; however, it remains a controversial concept without a defined therapeutic algorithm. The recent emergence of expandable intravertebral implants, which allow, by a percutaneous transpedicular application, the capacity for intrasomatic filling and maintenance of the height of the vertebral body, makes them a viable option, not only in the treatment of acute vertebral fractures, but also in non-union cases. In this study, we present a review of the current evidence on the application of expandable intravertebral implants in cases of post-traumatic vertebral necrosis. Based on the available scientific literature, including previous classifications of post-traumatic necrosis, and on the mechanical characteristics of the main expandable intravertebral implants currently available, we propose a simplified classification of this pathology, considering parameters that influence surgical therapeutic guidance, the morphology and the dynamics of the necrotic vertebra’s mobility. According to its stages and based on authors’ experience and on the scarce literature, we propose an initial therapeutic algorithm and suggest preventive strategies for this disease, considering its main risk factors, that is, fracture comminution and impairment of vertebral vascularity. Therefore, expandable intravertebral implants have a promising role in this condition; however, large prospective studies are needed to confirm their efficacy, to clarify the indications of each of these devices, and to validate the algorithm suggestion regarding treatment and prevention of post-traumatic vertebral necrosis.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the technique, analyze possible radiographic correction and evaluate the clinical result of medial and plantar calcaneal displacement osteotomy associated with opening wedge cuboid osteotomy for flexible flatfoot correction. Methods: 23 patients (30 feet) diagnosed with flexible flat foot treated with plantar and medial calcaneal displacement osteotomy associated with opening wedge cuboid osteotomy were evaluated retrospectively. In the lateral radiographs calcaneal pitch and Meary’s angle were the radiographic parameters evaluated; while the talonavicular coverage angle was evaluated in the anteroposterior radiographs. To assess the clinical outcome of the surgical procedure, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS) for the ankle and hindfoot was adopted. Results: The mean values of the evaluated angles and AOFAS score for ankle and hindfoot significantly improved when comparing pre- and postoperative values. Conclusion: Plantar and medial calcaneal displacement osteotomy associated with an opening wedge cuboid osteotomy is able to improve radiological and clinical parameters of child patients with flexible flatfoot.

Abstract This study aimed to understand the use of technosociality in the daily lives of the Family Health Strategy clients during the COVID-19 pandemic for care and health promotion. This holistic, qualitative, multiple case study based on the Comprehensive Everyday Life Sociology was conducted with 61 clients from three Brazilian municipalities, two in Minas Gerais and one in Santa Catarina. The sources of evidence were the open-ended individual interview and field notes. We adopted thematic content analysis to analyze data. The use of virtual social networks and health technologies for care, monitoring, prevention of risks and conditions, health promotion, and access to information is found in clients’ daily lives. We highlight the importance of support and solidarity networks. The infodemic and misinformation about COVID-19 denote uncertainty about the veracity of information and concern about mental health. We should pay close attention to using technologies and social networks for health promotion, enabling strategies to enhance their use and minimize the indicated harms.

Authors: Lima Taisa , Oliveira Vick Brito
Published: July 2023

Resumo Este artigo reflete sobre a compreensão dos profissionais que atuam na Estratégia Saúde da Família acerca das intersecções entre relações raciais e saúde. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais que compõem as equipes de saúde da família em um município de Pernambuco, cujos dados foram analisados à luz das discussões que se debruçam sobre a temática racial. Os resultados apontam para as divergências entre os modelos de saúde presentes no cotidiano, para a invisibilidade da raça/cor na formação e atuação profissional e a branquitude como elemento estruturante das relações raciais. O estudo reafirma a necessidade do campo da saúde coletiva se debruçar sobre a intersecção entre o quesito raça/cor e as relações de cuidado em saúde, bem como o investimento na formação dos profissionais, que inclua a temática racial.
