Hybrid learning environments: It’s all about ecology
Authors: Green Jenny , Carvalho Lucila , Sheridan Nicolette
Published: July 2024

Technology-enhanced learning has been part of higher education health contexts for nearly three decades, but since the recent Covid-19 pandemic specific challenges emerged, requiring learning design reconfigurations to facilitate continuity of student learning. The pandemic calls for a deeper understanding of how technology can promote connections, active participation and knowledge building in higher education health contexts. Identifying what is currently occurring and considering potential innovations requires a move towards a nuanced understanding of the ecology of complex elements contributing to productive networked learning in these contexts. This multiple-case study doctoral research project includes four undergraduate health courses at a New Zealand university, in the disciplines of nursing, social work, and bioscience. Drawing on the Activity Centred Analysis and Design (ACAD) framework, the research explores the influence of course design elements, such as social arrangements, learning space formats, learning tasks, on learning activity, taking a systematic approach to the analysis. In this paper, we report on initial observations and interviews with students involved in diverse hybrid learning environments, in order to identify how innovative learning designs are supporting students' agency and active engagement.

Published: July 2024

The hosts of this round table discussion, members of the Building Digital Literacy (BDL) research cluster of the Digital Life Institute (www.digitallife.org), adopt a critical disposition (NLEC, 2021a, 2021b) toward emerging augmentation technologies that sit at the core of networked learning. Augmentation technologies, such as wearable devices that extend human senses, augment creative abilities, or overcome physical limitations (Pederson & Hill, 2021), represent the engine that drives the next generation of networked learning. As emerging augmentation technologies, use of data analytics, and “smart” technologies proliferate, we see the critical need for research, presentation, and discussion of the implications for networked learning. This round table invites conversation about the role of artificial intelligence, big data, and learning analytics in networked learning.
Symposium 1: Analyzing Special Needs Support through Networks and Learning Analytics in Primary Education
Authors: Gunnars Fabian
Published: July 2024

In this short paper, analytical issues of networked learning are related to special needs support and learning analytics research in primary education. Very brief suggestions for these analytical issues are discussed for the networked learning research field to continue to expand upon. In part, the discussion is intended to form the underpinnings of a work-in-progress research project with cross-disciplinary networked connections across multiple universities.
Currently, teachers are faced with an expansion of their professional role that may be too economically demanding, which may result in consequences that is not beneficial for children with special needs. Researchers that aim to study inclusive education face the challenge to represent findings in a way that does not increase workload for teachers in primary education. Any failings in this regard may strengthen the intertwining of educational results and economical interest, which to a large extent could be considered as opposed to networked learning theory, dualistically separated from pedagogical concerns.
The inclusive goal of addressing diversity for children with special needs may be promoted by providing an educational setting with networked connections that enhances variation to modes of behavior, by addressing specific and contextual strengths and challenges of students appropriately. With learning analytics, specific and contextual strengths and challenges of students might be easier to highlight with new database schemas, algorithms, and user interfaces to represent networked data. Radical behaviorist methodology may further emphasize specific contextual findings from primary education through strictly defined events of behavior, which may be of interest to the networked learning research community to further expand upon.
Thus, this paper proposes suggestions for networked learning research of primary education, with approaches commonly implemented in special education, such as radical behaviorist methodology. The suggestions are based on networked consequences from three social dimensions: political, economic, and technology-developmental.
1    The political dimension is discussed through the notion of inclusive education for children with special needs and its current state,
2     the economic dimension is discussed through the 21st century role expansion of teachers,
3    the technology-developmental dimension is discussed through learning analytic research and its connection to bodily and biological associations. This dimension is especially noteworthy, as learning analytics is currently underutilized in primary education research as opposed to common higher education research.
Big Data in online education
Authors: Petreski Davor
Published: July 2024

From classifying learners to predicting learner behaviour, the application of Big Data in online education has been vast. Besides the potential benefits of Big Data in education, it is necessary to critically engage with some ethical and social challenges that Big Data presents to the field of online learning. The increasing use of big data by large institutional actors and corporations raises questions not only about data privacy and ownership, but whether this data is used to genuinely improve learner and teacher online learning experiences, or primarily for commercial profits and institutional benefits. When addressing ethical concerns regarding the use of Big Data in education, critiques often follow a reasoning that is in line with corporate interests and neoliberal logic of marketization of education. Given the importance of the pursuit for democratic online education, the need for critical perspectives in the field is ever-more essential. This research tries to critically address the role and impact of Big Data on labour relations and economic fairness in online education by examining both corporate and institutional data practices in online learning. The study puts forward a provisional theory of the use of Big Data in two large online learning platforms (Coursera and Blackboard) using critical grounded theory. The core category of Exploitation of the learning community, the three constituent concepts; the Vendor-Institutional Complex, Use of learner generated value for profit, and the Behavioral monitoring and engineering; and the sustaining category, the Magic Trick, were the foundational blocks for developing an emancipatory theory that addressed ethical issues of economic fairness regarding the use of big data in online education.
Facilitating networked learning with AI
Authors: Pedersen Annette Q
Published: July 2024

The breakthrough of generative AI is disrupting education in many ways and universities and other educational institutions are tasked with navigating a host of new challenges. But in the classroom we might be seeing a familiar pattern: As with most new technologies in the classroom, there is a tendency to design exercises as individual tasks: AI as your personal tutor, AI as a Study Buddy, AI as your editor / idea generator / etc. However, if we believe that learners construct knowledge rather than just passively receive information, it is crucial that we discuss questions like these:

How can we design good cooperative and collaborative learning environments for students?
How can we design good exercises for with AI – considering that learning is not just transfer (or cramming) of information?
How can we maintain a balance between AI assistance and human interaction in the learning environment?
How can we encourage peer-to-peer learning and social engagement?
How generative AI can enhance group discussions, facilitate idea generation, and support collaborative problem-solving?
What are the best strategies to prevent the over-individualization of the learning process when incorporating generative AI?

And not least:

How can we best prepare teachers to use AI in their teaching?
How can institutions best support teachers and students in this?

Authors: Laila Alfageih  , Ahlam Amharib  , Fayrouz Khaled
Published: July 2024

As a thiol-replenishing and redox-modulating agent in cells, Alpha lipoic acid ‘ALA—also known as 'thioctic acid, 1,2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid, 1,2dithiolane-3-valeric acid, or 6,8-thioctic acid—has attracted a lot of medicinal interest. Naturally, alpha lipoic acid is needed as a cofactor for the oxidative decarboxylation responses of the glucose digesting system to lose life. Thus, the goal of this investigation was to draw attention to how thioctic acid affects lipid profile. Critical papers were found by a deliberate search of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase through October 2023. The rabbits were given an oral dose of 60 mg/kg BW of thioctic acid. Rabbits were given the tried measurements daily for a period of 12 weeks. The results demonstrated that thioctic acid caused a critical (PB/0.05) decrease in the levels of glucose, "TBARS", "cholesterol", triglycerides "TG", low density lipoprotein "LDL", and very low-density lipoprotein "VLDL", while the level of high-density lipoprotein "HDL" increased in comparison to the control group.

Allium sativum (Garlic) and Nigella sativa (Black cumin) are widely used as food seasoning or traditional medications in many countries. Their effects on STZ induced type 1 diabetes in rats were compared.Type 1 diabetes induced to rats by injecting STZ. The oil extracts of A. sativum and N. sativa were peritoneally injected daily at concentrations of 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg for A. sativum and 7 mg/kg or 14 mg/kg for N. sativa. Compared to the untreated group, the two groups treated with A. sativum and the two groups treated with N. sativa showed marked recoveries in some physiological aspects. The data showed marked improvements in body weights for all treated groups especially the groups treated with A. sativum, and after four weeks body weights were improving whereas body weights for untreated group were decreased. FBG levels in the group treated with 10mg/kg A. sativum showed the best improvement, but by the end of the month all treated groups FBG levels were less than half of the blood glucose levels for untreated group but still about twice of that in the normal animals in the control group. Blood insulin levels in the group treated with 20 mg/kg A. sativum was 81% of the control, but all the other groups were also higher than that of the untreated group. In fact, A. sativum showed better results compared to N. sativa but both plants showed improving of the conditions of type 1 diabetes.

Back ground During pregnancy the woman needs a good nutritional status for a healthy outcome. Poor nutritional statuses cause higher risks of malnutritional diseases and deaths for women and their embryos. Folic acid deficiency negatively affects pregnancy outcomes due to its association with DNA synthesis, and since the folic acid intake during pregnancy plays a significant role in modulating gene expression, the dose and its timing during pregnancy may be critical. This study The study was designed to investigate the effect of folic acid on pregnancy. A total of 92 pregnant women participated in this study. These pregnant women were classified into 3 groups according to their ages (20 – 30 years, 31 – 41years, and above 40years). The three groups were examined through a questionnaire that has to be answered by the pregnant women themselves. Result  The majority of woman were among the first age group (20- 30 years), whereas the highest percentage of diabetic women were in the last group (above 41 years). Birthweights were higher if the woman who took folic acid during pregnancy especially if they were diabetic. In fact, diabetic women that did not take folic acid during pregnancy had the lowest birthweights compared to all other groups.  Conclusion  The data suggested that taking folic acid supplementation helps in developing the fetus and thus the newborn baby will have a normal birthweight. Diabetic women showed that the average birthweights of their newborn babies were higher than the normal when they took folic acid and lower than normal in the absence of the supplementary folic acid.

This research aims to analyze the effect of implementing green accounting on profitability in Basic Industry and Chemical Sector Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020-2022 period. The population of this research is all Basic Industry and Chemical Sector Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) totaling 70 companies with samples for three years from 2020-2022 totaling 22 companies with a period of 3 years so that we got 66 samples taken using the Purposive Technique Sampling. Data collection was carried out using documentation techniques. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 23 using multiple linear regression tests, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis tests. Based on the results of partial testing (T test), the environmental cost variable has a significant effect on profitability, indicating that environmental costs can have a large effect on the company's ability to earn profits. Meanwhile, the environmental performance variable does not have a significant effect on profitability, which shows that whether a company's environmental performance is good or bad does not affect the company's profit even though the company has a good PROPER rating. Based on the results of simultaneous testing (F test) environmental costs and environmental performance together have a simultaneous effect on profitability
Perbedaan Efektivitas Pemberian Putih Telur Dan Ikan Gabus Terhadap Penyembuhan Luka Perineum Ibu Nifas
Authors: Kurniawati Heni Pradita
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Perineal rupture is an injury to the birth canal that occurs at the time of the baby's birth either using a tool or not using a tool. Wounds on the perineum due to tears or lacerations are areas that are not easy to keep clean and dry. Wound healing processes that are not handled properly can lead to imperfect wound healing. This can cause bleeding not to stop properly or cause infection which can eventually cause death to the mother.
 Methods: Quasy-experimental two groups pre-test-post-test research design. The population in this study were all post-partum women who experienced perineal injuries at the Cempaka Medical Center Maternity Clinic in April 2023 as many as 30 people (15 people treated with egg whites and 15 treated for snakehead fish), using a total sampling technique, namely the sampling method to distinguish certain. The research material uses observation sheets and stationery while the instrument used is a questionnaire sheet.
 Results: The data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test obtained a value of Z = -3,669 value: 0,000 where < 0,05 means H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. In post-partum women with perineal wounds before being given egg white and snakehead fish, all respondents (100%) had bad perineal wounds. After giving egg whites it was not good (20,0%); moderate (30,0%); good (0%); and giving snakehead fish was not good (3,3%); moderate (13.3%); good (33,3%).
 Discussion: Giving egg whites and fish cork can heal perineal wounds. It is hoped that health workers can be used as additional KIE which is of great concern so that post-partum mothers can consume egg whites and fish cork to accelerate perineal wound healing.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: The impact that often arises after Caesarean Section delivery includes infection of the operating wound due to the poor wound-healing process. The ERACS method of Caesarean Section delivery has caught the public's attention because it is claimed to reduce postoperative pain and allow the wound recovery process to proceed faster.
Methods: This research method uses quantitative research with an analytical observational research type and a prospective cohort design. The population in this study was 630 Caesarean Section post-partum women on day 7 at Dr. Hafiz Hospital in Cianjur. Using the purposive sampling technique, a sample of 86 respondents was obtained.
Results: The results of the data analysis using the T-test. From the data normality test using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test the data obtained a significant value of 0,000; so, it can be said that the data is normally distributed. The researcher then conducted a parametric independent sample test. According to statistical analysis with the T-Test test the sig value or p-value is 0,004; which means the p-value is <0,05. This means that there is a difference between the ERACS and non-ERACS methods of Caesarean Section delivery for wound healing.
Discussion: The conclusion is that there is a difference in the wound healing process of Caesarean Section delivery patients with ERACS and non-ERACS methods. Suggestions for Caesarean Section delivery with the ERACS method can be applied to all Caesarean Section patients who have no complications with the ERACS method because the ERACS method can reduce complications in patient wound healing.

Published: July 2024

The struggle for water is one of the greatest immediate risks of the climate crisis. Therefore, the institutional challenge of water management is increasingly urgent and requires a number of consensuses to succeed, including community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). A key challenge to the traditional consensus for water conservation is the increasing need for land conversion due to population growth, which in turn deflects decision-making power away from traditional institutions towards external decision-makers such as regional governments. Using Ostrom's conceptual framework of rules of use, this research examines shifting spring water management in the context of Kabupaten Manggarai. The paper explores traditional rules of water management in the community and compares it to the institutional development of springs in four villages. Ultimately, it analyses the gap between the traditional rules of water management and the reality on the ground. The study finds that traditional community management of springs is subject to power contestation due to unclear institutional direction, which in turn emerges from opaque land and spatial planning policies and political decisions. These policies are overly economic and do not take into account traditional conservation and resources characteristics.

Authors: Schneider Peter , Zhang Jianqiang , Ramirez Alejandro , Wang Chong , Holtkamp Derald
Published: July 2024

Objective: To determine the efficacy of accelerated hydrogen peroxide disinfectant and combined glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium disinfectant after a high-pressure wash against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) in experimental settings mimicking field conditions commonly experienced on livestock trailers. Materials and methods: Aluminum model livestock trailers (1:61) were contaminated with PRRSV- and TGEV-spiked feces. Each model trailer underwent a simple washing procedure and an assigned disinfectant application. Four environmental swabs were collected per trailer at five time points and tested by PRRSV quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and TGEV polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Ten-week old pigs were inoculated orally and intramuscularly with supernatant from environmental samples taken from model trailers at two time points after disinfection. Fecal swabs and blood collected at 7 and 14 days post inoculation were tested by PRRSV qPCR and TGEV PCR to determine if the inoculum had contained live infectious virus. Results: All Positive Control pigs were positive by PRRSV qPCR at 7 and 14 days post inoculation and by PRRSV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at day 14. Pigs in the other treatment groups were negative by PRRSV qPCR and PRRSV ELISA at all time points. Results of TGEV testing were inconclusive because the Positive Control group failed to become infected. Implication: Under study conditions, a high-pressure wash with cold water plus application of an accelerated hydrogen peroxide or a combined glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium disinfectant is effective at inactivating PRRSV.
TEACHING PRACTICES FOR FULL REFRESHER READERS BY PRIMARY GRADE TEACHERS: FOUNDATION FOR ENHANCED READING PROGRAM
Authors: Aguillon Hazel Quilala
Published: July 2024

This study determined the teaching practices for full refresher readers among 105 primary grade teachers in Palauig District, Schools Division of Zambales during the School Year 2023-2024. Utilizing a quantitative-descriptive research approach, the study employed a validated questionnaire for data collection. Results indicated that a majority of primary grade teachers fell within the age bracket of 30-39 years old, with a significant portion being female. Additionally, most primary grade teachers held the position of Teacher I, had less than nine years of service, and held MA degrees. Various teaching practices were employed by primary grade teachers to enhance the reading skills of full refresher readers, including instruction on reading materials, reading strategies, individualized reading, and collaborative reading. Full refresher readers exhibited light refresher reading levels in both Filipino and English reading results, based on class CRLA-based reading levels. A significant difference was observed in the teaching practices for full refresher readers among primary grade teachers across all dimensions—reading materials, reading strategies, individualized reading, and collaborative reading—based on age and length of service profiles. A positively high and significant correlation was found between the teaching practices for full refresher readers among primary grade teachers and the class CRLA-based reading levels of full refresher readers in terms of Filipino and English reading results. Thus, there is a need for an enhanced program for teaching practices aimed at improving the reading levels of full refresher readers, tailored specifically for primary grade teachers.

Authors: M. Christine Himoonga , Francis Simui
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the vulnerability profile of the ‘girl child’ in selected single sex secondary schools of Lusaka district of Zambia. The study applied a qualitative approach with a Hermeneutics Phenomenological research design. The sample comprised of 38 participants who included 8 vulnerable girls in each school and 4 guidance teachers. Interviews were used to collect data from the guidance teachers while focused group discussions were used to collect data from the pupils. The study established that the vulnerable profile included lack of proper dietary habits and good nutrition. Under household responsibilities, girls were overworked at home and performed many chores which made them to underperform in schools.

Метою даного дослідження є аналіз і застосування ключових положень теорій мотивації для створення ефективних мотиваційних систем на українських підприємствах. Особлива увага приділена вивченню існуючих теорій мотивації та можливість їх застосування в сучасних умовах. Дослідження здійснено на основі системного аналізу існуючих теорій мотивації. Основна гіпотеза дослідження полягає в тому, що ефективне застосування положень теорій мотивації сприятиме підвищенню продуктивності праці та задоволення працівників на українських підприємствах. Нові дані здобуті в ході дослідження будуть спрямовані на визначення стратегій інтеграції теоретичних підходів у практику українських підприємств. У статті використаний абстрактно - логічний та порівняльний методи дослідження. У статті розкрито сутність категорії «мотивація» та наголошено, що мотивація як рушійна сила людської поведінки займає провідне місце в структурі особистості, пронизуючи її основні складові: спрямованість, характер, емоції, здібності, діяльність і психічні процеси. Автор здійснив аналіз історичного досвіду розвитку теорій мотивації. В процесі дослідження проаналізовано характерні особливості та спільні риси кожної теорії мотивування. Теоретичне значення даного дослідження полягає в систематизації і аналізі сучасних теорій мотивації з метою їх адаптації та застосування на українських підприємствах. Дослідження сприятиме розширенню знань про ефективні стратегії формування мотиваційних систем та сприятиме вдосконаленню методик управління персоналом. В статті надано рекомендації щодо практичного застосування теорій мотивації в механізми мотивації праці на українських підприємствах з огляду на складні умови ведення господарської діяльності. У статті доведено, що нині загальний рівень мотивації працівників в Україні є недостатнім. В зв’язку з цим, автор висвітлює проблемні зони рівня мотивації персоналу в країні. У статті з багатьох існуючих теорій мотивації автор виділяє такі, що найкраще підходять для швидкої відбудови України в післявоєнний час та будуть основою для формування концепції вдосконалення системи мотивації праці персоналу підприємства. У майбутніх дослідженнях доцільно розглянути існуючі зарубіжні моделі мотивації, їх особливості та можливість застосування в Україні.

Existen dos tipos de motivación: la motivación intrínseca y la motivación extrínseca; el grado de motivación se verá reflejado el rendimiento del deportista, Lo que permite precisar, que si un atleta tiene la motivación intrínseca será más autónomo, permitiendo realizar sus acciones de manera voluntaria con el objetivo de sentirse bien consigo mismo. Pero si su motivación es extrínseca sus acciones están determinadas de agentes externos como, el reconocimiento, status social, incentivos, la familia, etc., cabe señalar que ambas motivaciones determinarán el éxito y la consecución de los objetivos. El presente trabajo desarrollado fue a partir de la revisión bibliográfica de las siguientes bases de datos: Dialnet, Google Académico, Latindex, Scielo, etc. Concluyendo que la motivación es fundamental y determinante en la práctica de las actividades físicas y deportivas.
