Objetivo: Analisar as expectativas, sentimentos e vivências de pais cuidadores de crianças com problemas hematológicos severos. Metodologia: Pesquisa de campo com abordagem qualitativa, realizada na Clínica Escola de uma Universidade da Paraíba. Participaram oito pais cuidadores de crianças acometidas por problemas hematológicos com repercussões clínicas. As informações foram colhidas a partir de entrevista estruturada e a análise dos dados foi feita mediante técnica de análise de conteúdo, estabelecendo-se cinco categorias: “Mudanças na vida dos pais cuidadores”, “Sentimentos expressos”, “Impactos da doença”, “Enfrentamento das dificuldades” e “Perspectivas”. Resultados: Verificou-se que o adoecimento da criança acometida por patologia hematológica severa atinge toda a família, sobretudo sobrecarregando a mãe nesse processo de cuidado, pois a figura materna encontra-se totalmente voltada ao filho, impossibilitando-a de exercer outras funções e até mesmo adoecendo-a. Portanto, a rede de apoio é tida como peça fundamental, tanto para o doente quanto ao cuidador. Considerações finais: O estudo é um alerta aos profissionais de saúde para que prestem assistência as crianças, mas também olhem para os cuidadores, pois enfrentam problemas psicossociais decorrentes do enfrentamento da doença do filho(a). Especial atenção para as mães, figura primeira nesse cuidar.Descritores: Doenças hematológicas. Crianças. Emoções. Pais.

Jurisliterature and Transgression
Authors: Goodrich Peter
Published: June 2020

The jurisliterary profession is the curious enterprise of writing, as a jurist, about law. Many seek to escape into literature, philosophy, critique, psychoanalysis, the couch, but then, in the main, they have abandoned law. Those that persist, who remain jurists, have the propensity to transgress the boundaries of the juridical, the strictures of abstraction and disembodiment, so as to generate accounts of legal sensibility, so as to manifest the polyglottal and visceral potential of transforming the juridical bubble into that most ethical of realms, the poetics of desire. Jurisliterary transgression, at its strongest, returns the materiality of imagination to the sensorium of legality.
Urban Unmanned Aerial Systems Operations
Authors: Bassi Eleonora
Published: June 2020

The drone sector offers a wide range of affordances, opportunities, and economic benefits for society. Delivery services, agriculture monitoring, wildfire control, public infrastructure inspections, humanitarian aid, or drone journalism, are among the activities enhanced by unmanned aerial systems (UAS). No surprise the civilian UAS market is growing fast throughout the world. Yet, on a daily basis, newspapers report serious concerns for people infringing other people’s rights through the use of drones. Cybersecurity attacks, data theft, criminal offences brought about the use of this technology frame the picture. Nowadays, several countries are changing their legal rules to properly address such challenges. In 2018, the European Union (EU) started its five year-long regulative process that should establish the common rules and standards for UAS operations within the EU Single Sky by 2023. A similar timeline has been adopted in the United States, so as to provide the jurisdictional boundaries for the civilian use of drones. The United Kingdom (UK) and Japan are adopting new rules too. From a legal point of view, the overall framework is thus rapidly evolving. The aim of this paper is to give attention to (i) privacy and data protection concerns raised by UAS operations; (ii) their monitoring functions and corresponding surveillance issues; and, (iii) how a privacy preserving approach – such as with privacy by design technologies, organizational measures, audit procedures, civic involvement, to name a few – makes a lawful and ethical use of this powerful technology possible.
Regulating Financial Services in an Era of Technological Disruption
Authors: De Koker Louis , Morris Nicholas , Jaffer Sue
Published: June 2020

Financial regulators are challenged to respond to the innovation opportunities presented by financial technology (fintech). Current rules are not necessarily sufficient or effective to adequately regulate new business models and new products relating to innovations such as crypto assets or digital financial services. Regulators that fail to respond in a timely manner may drive innovation offshore and deprive their markets and consumers of appropriate, new services. To respond to new financial innovation, regulators have been establishing innovation hubs and regulatory sandboxes. Innovation hubs enable them to engage innovators more effectively. Sandboxes allow the products to be tested in a controlled environment and enable to regulator to consider whether existing laws are appropriate to regulate such products and, of not, what measures may be required. Sandboxes are however resource intensive and they hold a number of risks. Financial regulators are, of course, not alone in having to address the regulatory challenges of innovation. This article therefore also considers other non-financial regulatory experiences of innovative products and services, namely automated vehicles; emissions trading in China; and Uber and its clones, to consider whether those experiences hold lessons for financial regulators.

Perseverance Despite the Perception of Threat and Marginalization: Students’ High Grit in Grad School and Implications for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Higher Education
Authors: Kundu Anindya , M Elcott David , G Foldy Erica , S Winer Amanda
Published: June 2020

Aim/Purpose: This paper illustrates the relationship between graduate students’ social identities and their ability to persevere in an academically rigorous graduate setting. Through our analysis we show that while many students experience marginalization and threats to their identity, they display no less grit than those who do not experience marginalization and threats to their identity.

Background: There are contentious debates in higher education about the role that universities should play in promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion principles. Existing arguments rarely consider students’ social identity in conjunction with their academic mindsets and ability to succeed in the graduate school environment, but instead make assumptions of who students are and of what they are capable.

Methodology: Survey methods and quantitative analyses, including regression and ANOVA testing.

Contribution: While demonstrating that students who experience marginalization and social identity threat display no less grit than their counterparts, we claim that all students would still desire to live and work in a society in which their social identities are respected and honored.

Findings: Many students, even those successfully navigating graduate school, still identify as oppressed or marginalized, which is strongly related to certain social identities and to social identity threat. No demographic or oppression-based variable alone correlates negatively or positively with perseverance as tested by the grit scale we used.

Recommendations for Practitioners: We recommend that universities uphold a commitment to diversity and inclusion in order to create welcoming environments for all students to thrive.

Recommendation for Researchers: We recommend that researchers focus on the intersections of identity, perseverance, and policy to fully address the issues of marginalization and social identity threat at graduate school campuses.

Impact on Society: Our paper works to counter the often-negative perception of students who identify as marginalized and who demand more inclusive university environments.

Future Research: In future studies, it would be beneficial for the field to address other social identities and examine their perceptions of marginalization and inclusion and assess impacts on academic mindset.

Authors: Gaivoronskaya Yana , Karimova Yulia
Published: June 2020

The problem of technological unemployment in the context of large-scale digital transformation of society is contemplated. The prospects for digitizing legal profession are emphasized. The authors analyse the digital transformation of jurisprudence in two ways: from the standpoint of possible replacement of human labor with machine labor and from the standpoint of introducing of new digital technologies into legal profession (LegalTech). The prospects of the withering away of the legal profession in the digital age are reckoned up as sceptical ones. The authors conclude that digitalization causes qualitative modification of the legal profession, related to changes in content and forms of organization of professional legal activity.

Authors: Moneva Jerald C. , Inday Kholeen H.
Published: June 2020

Being an active student in school motivates a student to be more confident in performing their activities. Somehow, not all the students are confident to show their capabilities in performing in class because they feel apprehended due to some factors such as their communication in their families. This study determines the correlation between the family communication at home and the apprehension in the class participation of the Senior High School students in a certain school of Mandaue City. This study uses descriptive design with checklist scaling questionnaire as being used for gathering data. After the data were being gathered, the data were then analyzed using of weighted mean to determine the level of family communication and the students’ apprehension; chi-square to determine the association between family communication and their apprehensions. Family communication is experienced often. The students’ family members are satisfied of the communication in the family. The students’ family members sometimes can express their feelings and ideas among themselves. While the level of students’ apprehension in their class participation is experienced sometimes, students feel comfortable of communicating in class. In addition, students who dislike participating in group discussions seldom experienced apprehension. Finally, students’ apprehension is significantly associated to family communication.

Published: June 2020

The agricultural business that is applied to the agroforestry system in Kelimutu National Park causes differences in the quality of organic matter of plants and earthworm populations, which have consequences for soil environmental services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the earthworm population and the quality of plant organic matter in various agroforestry systems, intensive agriculture, and secondary forests. Sampling of organic matter from plants and earthworms was carried out in January - July 2016 (in the rainy season) in Agroforestry land: Clove (AF - CK), Cocoa (AF - KK), Candlenut (AF - KM), Coffee (AF - KM) ) compared to intensive agricultural land (monoculture vegetable crops) and secondary forests (SPL-HS), with 3 times repetition. Variables observed were in addition to the number of earthworms found and biomass worms (monolith sampling), also observed the quality of plant organic matter (C (Walkley and black), N (Kjeldahl), Lignin, and Polyphenol (Goering and Van Soest)) (Quadrants). The survey results show that the population of earthworms in SPL-AF is as low as the population in SPL-HS, an average of 3 m-2, while in the SPL-PI the average is only 0.24 m-2. Earthworm biomass in AF is about 69% smaller than worms found in SPL-HS; average earthworm biomass in SPL-AF 15 gm-2 while in SPL-HS an average of 47 gm-2; and the smallest worm biomass found in SPL-PI averaging around 2.3 gm-2. The average quality of organic matter of C-org plants in all SSTs was 38% to 50%, the highest C-org content of AF-CK, AF-KP and SPL-HS were significantly different (p <0.05) with C levels that were others (39% on average). The N and lignin levels of all plant organic matter are the same (P> 0.05), the average is 1.36% and 41.13%, respectively. The C / N ratio in AF - CK and HS is the same at an average of 52.78% or 58 times higher than AF - KK, AF - KM, and AF - KP, the average is 31.11% The polyphenolic levels of different plant organic matter significant (p <0.05) between SPL. The highest levels of polyphenols were on average 17.5% found in plant organic matter AF - CK and SPL - HS, while plant organic matter in other fields averaged 3.4%. Plant organic matter with polyphenol content> 2% will slow decay.

Authors: ANGWAFO TSI Evaristus , BENAZIA NKENGAFAC Michael , CHUO MVO Denis
Published: June 2020

This study entitled “implications of human-wildlife conflict on local livelihood in the Kimbi-Fungom National Park” was undertaken to assess impacts of Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) in the Park so as to provide basis to design a sustainable wildlife conservation roadmap. Data collection was done using questionnaires, semi structured interviews and direct observations. Collected data were treated using excel and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 14). Findings revealed that, 98% of the population experience human-wildlife conflicts that negatively impacted local livelihood, with cumulative average financial losses amounting to 1, 97,890 FCFA/year/acre (0.40ha) for the six common staple food crops, and an average cumulative surface area damage of 4.75 acres/year (0.19ha). It was revealed that great proximity to the Park edge bear the highest cost of the conflict. Though losses varied with different crop and distance from the Park, this was attributed to population pressure that intensifies farming activities along the Park edge that greatly threatened the sustainable management of wildlife in the study area. It is against this background that an Integrated Conservation Development Project is proposed for a sustainable wildlife management roadmap that would have to confront the drivers of conflict by working hand-in-hand with all stakeholders concerned towards a win-win outcome.
Procainamide for the acute management of atrial fibrillation and flutter in the emergency department: a systematic review
Authors: Tran Fiona , Junqueira Daniela , Meyer Jillian , Zhou Kevin , Tan Maria , Rowe Brian
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Chemical or electrical cardioversion are utilized for acute atrial fibrillation or flutter (AFF) management in the emergency department (ED). Procainamide is a common chemical agent used in Canada; however, there are substantial practice variations.

Method: Systematic search of five databases and grey literature completed. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective controlled cohort studies including adults with acute AFF comparing procainamide with other cardioversion strategies were eligible. Two independent reviewers performed study selection and data extraction. Relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42019142080).

Results: From 3847 potential citations, 6 studies were included (four RCTs and two cohort studies). Procainamide was less effective in achieving conversion to normal sinus rhythm (NSR) at 1st attempt compared to other chemical (RR 0.76; 95% CI: 0.65 to 0.90) and electrical (RR 0.72; 95% CI: 0.56 to 0.92) options. Procainamide in a drug-shock approach was as effective as electrical cardioversion alone in restoring NSR (RR 1.04; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.08). The occurrence of hypotension was higher in patients receiving procainamide compared to electrical cardioversion (RR 1.87; 95% CI: 1.14 to 3.06). Deaths and strokes were not well-reported.

Conclusion: Procainamide is less effective than other chemical options and electrical cardioversion strategies to restore NSR. The efficacy of procainamide in a drug-shock approach is similar to electrical alone at restoring NSR. The evidence shows that hypotension is a common procainamide adverse effect suggesting that electrical cardioversion as a first approach is preferable.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Choi In Yong
Published: June 2020

In this study, we developed a 3D coding learning environment for integrated learning of mathematics and CT, and presented a teaching-learning plan that can be used in theme selection activities of the free-semester. First, based on the design theory of constructionism, we developed a 3D game-making environment  that can build structures with small cube blocks and implement interactive game elements through coding. Using this concept, we developed free-semester teaching-learning content in the form of game-making that included mathematics learning elements in the middle school curriculum and applied it to 40 students and 20 math teachers. As a result, the developed environment and free-semester program provided students with valuable learning opportunities in mathematics and CT, and had positive impact on improving the affective characteristics of mathematics and coding. Based on the application results, the learning environment and teaching-learning content were corrected and supplemented. Based on the research process and the results, implications for the integrated education of mathematics and CT using coding are suggested.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Yoo Jae-Geun , Park Moon Hwan , Chang Hyewon , Yi Jung-A
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of interconnection between non-fractional representation and non-circular decimal representation in irrational teaching and learning of school mathematics and to examine the possibility of field application. First, through the analysis of previous studies, it was found that the core of understanding irrational concepts is the intuitive perception of convergence and the inference of acyclicity. And through mathematical analysis, we confirmed that finite decimal sequences and approximate fractional sequences should be learning contents. In this regard, we applied engineering tools in teaching and learning activity of irrational numbers and analyzed the process by which engineering tools become learners’ mathematical tools and then learning occurs, that is, instrument genesis. As a result, in the activity of finding finite fractions of square roots, students gained a meaningful understanding by focusing on the meaning of square root symbols and square roots as objects from inputting functions and operations and using drag. And in the activity to solve the task ‘Can a graph cross a grid point?’, Students could infer the acyclicity of the decimal representation of irrational numbers by observing the approximate fraction as the slope. Thus, this study is expected to be a basic reference of teaching and learning of irrational numbers to construct a mental image of real numbers completeness axiom.

An investigative reporting has changed quite rapidly in the last few periods after the development of information technology. The presence of online media encourages the emergence of online journalism. The existence of online journalism, within the framework of online media, gives a certain touch to investigative reporting activities. Investigative reporting developed in online media has managerial uniqueness and certain coverage patterns. The purpose of this study is to illustrate how the management of editorials and online media coverage patterns in Indonesia conducting investigative coverage.Data for this research is obtained through interviews with data analysis using a qualitative approach and a case study method of single case-multilevel analysis. Research subjects (journalism) and research objects (online investigative news) of this study are Detik.com and Tirto.id.The results of the study show that investigative data are at the core of investigative reporting in online media. It can be in the form of direct observation under investigation (disguising) or the disclosure of new facts that have not been revealed before. The online news media in Indonesia, although it relies on the speed, also still takes into account the accuracy and rules of journalism, especially in the coverage of investigations. The online media strategy in reporting investigations is to divide investigative data into several news stories with one theme, but each headline is different according to the investigative reporting to be reported in parts.

El perfeccionismo ha sido considerado un factor de riesgo significativo para la psicopatología y una característica de personalidad típica en las personas que sufren trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA). Este estudio pretende conocer la relación entre el perfeccionismo y la sintomatología depresiva, autoestima e insatisfacción corporal en adolescentes diagnosticados de TCA. La muestra se compuso de 100 adolescentes (M edad = 14,91, DT = 1,094) diagnosticados de TCA que acudían ambulatoriamente a una unidad específica de TCA infanto-juvenil del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Todos los pacientes cumplimentaron la escala perfeccionismo del Inventario de Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (EDI-3), el Cuestionario Español de Depresión Infantil (CEDI-II), la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (RSES), y el Cuestionario sobre la Forma Corporal (BSQ-34). Los resultados indican que la escala perfeccionismo del EDI-3 correlaciona significativamente de forma positiva con el CEDI-II (r = ,336, p = ,001) y BSQ-34 (r = ,199, p = ,45), y de forma negativa con el RSES (r = -,337, p = ,001). Los adolescentes diagnosticados de TCA que puntúan más alto en perfeccionismo presentan mayor sintomatología depresiva e insatisfacción corporal, y menor autoestima. Consideramos que un abordaje específico sobre el perfeccionismo podría redundar en una mejoría psicopatológica de estos pacientes.

La propagación de la pandemia por coronavirus (COVID-19) supone un desafío sociosanitario a nivel mundial. Esta situación ha obligado al establecimiento de cuarentenas como medida sanitaria de emergencia en los territorios más afectados. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en identificar, mediante una revisión sistemática, diferentes factores psicológicos asociados a la salud durante periodos de cuarentena. Con esta finalidad, se realizó una búsqueda de artículos científicos en bases de datos, tales como Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO y CINAHL. Se obtuvo un total de 62 documentos de los que, tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, resultaron un total de 7 trabajos. Los resultados mostraron, primero, que las personas en situación de cuarentena presentaron niveles elevados de estrés, ansiedad, depresión y angustia psicológica; segundo, que un estilo emocional positivo se relacionó con un menor riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para la práctica, especialmente para el colectivo de profesionales sanitarios, que son indispensables en el afrontamiento de las enfermedades en situaciones de pandemia.

En la actualidad, la ansiedad escolar es considerada por el ámbito científico como un trastorno emocional, que influye desde la infancia hasta la adolescencia. Los estudios previos que tratan este trastorno en población infanto-juvenil informan de una alta prevalencia a nivel mundial alrededor de entre el 10% y el 20% del alumnado. Sin embargo, en el país de Ecuador, esta área de investigación permanece desatendida. Por este motivo, el objetivo del presente estudio fue observar si existen diferencias en ansiedad escolar en función del sexo y curso para 720 adolescentes ecuatorianos entre 15 y 18 años de edad, matriculados entre 1º y 3º de bachillerato. Para ello, se utilizó el Inventario de Ansiedad Escolar en Secundaria (IAES). Los resultados arrojan puntuaciones significativamente más altas en el sexo femenino para el total del IAES, así como todos los factores de la escala. Asimismo, se observaron las principales diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre primero y tercero de bachillerato. En conclusión, estos resultados son similares a estudios previos realizados en otros países, lo que aboga por la importancia de diseñar y aplicar programas de intervención y prevención de la ansiedad escolar en el ámbito educativo.
Comprensión lectora digital vs. Tradicional según familiaridad con las TIC

Published: June 2020

Dado que existen diferencias en la literatura científica respecto a la lectura a través de dispositivos digitales, el presente trabajo tiene la finalidad de evaluar la comprensión lectora en función del manejo de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), y la posibilidad de predecir el desempeño lector. Se evaluaron tres soportes: papel, ordenador y teléfono móvil o celular. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística e intencional de 178 estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Se utilizaron tres lecturas seleccionadas ad-hoc para la investigación con sus respectivas preguntas y un cuestionario de usabilidad de las TIC. Los estudiantes leyeron los textos durante tres minutos, después respondieron 25 preguntas de opción múltiple por cada texto. En términos generales, el resultado de la investigación fue que la comprensión lectora mejora cuando se realiza en soporte ordenador. El estudio correlacional permite afirmar que la modalidad afecta diferencialmente a los sujetos. Así, dicho resultado está mediado por las habilidades, preferencias, usos y costumbres de los lectores. Se puede inferir que la sociedad de la información parece avanzar hacia una mejora en la comprensión lectora en medios no tradicionales de lectura respecto a lostradicionales.
Italian SL Writing Competence in Socially Vulnerable Students
A Comparison Between two Rating Scales
Authors: De Meo Anna , Maffia Marta , Vitale Giuseppina
Published: June 2020

The high number of low-literate vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers among L2 Italian learners requires a rethinking not only of approaches and teaching methods, but also of assessment strategies. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of two different rating scales in the assessment of writing skills for this peculiar target of learners, a Standard Evaluation Scale and a Functional Adequacy Scale. Application of the two assessment methods on a corpus of about 450 written texts produced by 50 refugees and asylum seekers from 16 different countries, with an Italian A2 level competence, demonstrated that a Functional Adequacy Scale can be a more reliable and efficient tool than a Standard Evaluation Scale for valorising also poor writing skills, instead of underlying the limits of low-literate productions.
What Process-Oriented TS Have to Say to FL Teaching
The Role of TAPs
Authors: Gasparini Silvia
Published: June 2020

Research on translation processes using think-aloud protocols (TAPs) as the research design has recently received increasing attention in Translation Studies (TS). Such bulk of literature has produced many interesting findings about mental activities during the process of translation. In particular, it has helped uncover lexical search processes thanks to strategy identification through behavioral index-reading. The present paper surveys these studies with a particular eye on their potential use in the foreign language (FL) curriculum. Building on this analysis, an observational study is conducted which attempts to address how lexical failures in translation can be detected and re-directed in the ongoing translation process. The experience is to be considered a preliminary step for a systematic approach to the construction of experimental models in the field of process-oriented translation and reading-comprehension teaching.
Errors in Italian as Second Language
A Taxonomy Proposal
Authors: Nitti Paolo , Facchetti Giulio
Published: June 2020

This essay deals with a series of strategies that second or foreign language learners adopt in an effort to avoid making predictable errors. One of the most significant and least studied aspects in the academic field is the type of strategies that are put in place to make changes in the planning of the discourse, when the elements are not available to cope with the event, the communication need or when a speaker wants to change subject from a little-known conversational or textual sector. We intend to examine the concept of competence with respect to performance, the role and type of errors, ending up eliciting a taxonomy of interventions by learners, aimed at avoiding errors in oral and written production.
