İlkokul Öğrencilerinin Motor Yeterlik Düzeylerinin Fiziksel Aktiviteye Katılım, Yaş, Cinsiyet ve Beden Kütle İndeksi İlişkisi
Authors: DERER ATALAY , MÜLAZIMOĞLU BALLI ÖZGÜR
Published: February 2019

Çalışmanın öncelikli amacı ilkokul öğrencilerinin
fiziksel aktivite katılım durumlarına göre motor yeterlik düzeyleri arasındaki
farkı belirlemektir. İkinci amacı ise ilkokul öğrencilerinin motor yeterlik
düzeyleri ile yaş, boy, kilo ve BKİ arasında ilişkinin belirlenmesi ve son
olarak ise yaş, boy, kilo, BKİ ve fiziksel aktiviteye katılım durumlarının
motor yeterlik puanları üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Araştırmaya
Denizli ili Pamukkale Eğitim Vakfı İlköğretim Okulundan spor yapan 48 (yaş=107.47±13.11
ay) ve yapmayan 87 öğrenci (yaş=
101.48±14.58 ay) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Fiziksel aktiviteye katılan
çocuklar en az üç aydır fiziksel aktivite yapmakta ve katılım sıklıkları, haftada
iki gün-günde bir saat ile haftada altı gün-günde iki saat arasında
değişmektedir. Fiziksel aktivite yapmayanlar okul dışı hiçbir fiziksel
aktiviteye katılmadıklarını beyan etmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin motor yeterlik
düzeylerinin belirlenmesi için Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Yeterlik Testi kısa
formu (BOT-2 KF) ile kilo ve boy ölçümleri için baskül ve stadiometre
kullanılmıştır. Ölçümler sonucu elde edilen verilerin analizinde ilkokul
öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktivite yapma durumları ile motor yeterlik düzeyleri
arasındaki farkın fiziksel aktiviteye katılanlar lehine anlamlı olduğu tespit
edilmiştir (T(133)=4.06, p<0.05). Fiziksel aktivite yapan
öğrencilerin BOT-2-KF puanları (=54.20), yapmayanlardan (=49.63) daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Yapılan korelasyon analizi
sonucu yaş (r=.539), boy(r=.387), kilo (r=.207) gibi değişkenler ile motor
yeterlik puanları arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0.05).  Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre yaş, boy,
kilo ve fiziksel aktivite yapma durumu gibi değişkenlerin BOT-2-KF toplam puanı
üzerinde etkili olduğu görülürken en büyük etkinin yaştan kaynaklandığı tespit
edilmiştir (β=.539, p<0.05).
Managing Super-Diversity on Television: The Representation of Ethnic Minorities in Flemish Non-Fiction Programmes
Authors: Panis Koen , Paulussen Steve , Dhoest Alexander
Published: February 2019

This study examines and evaluates the representation of ethnocultural diversity in non-fiction TV programmes broadcasted by the Flemish (Belgian Dutch-speaking) public service broadcaster VRT in the 2016–2017 TV season. A qualitative content analysis of a sample comprising 36 clips and episodes of 14 non-fiction programmes was supplemented by four focus group interviews with a total of 12 participants belonging to different ethnocultural minorities. The findings suggest that despite several measures undertaken by the VRT, the representation of ethnocultural minorities is still unbalanced and biased in at least three ways: first, in presenting minorities as homogeneous groups rather than highlighting intragroup differences; second, in ‘typecasting’ people with a migration background thematically, i.e., for items on topics and issues related to their ethnocultural identity; and, third, in portraying and approaching minorities from a dominant group perspective. The article ends with the recommendation for public service media to further improve ethnocultural diversity in the workforce and to encourage their journalists and TV producers to reconsider their ‘professional pragmatics’ in order to increase their ethnocultural sensitivity and better manage the representation of super-diversity in their programmes.
ICT Use and Digital Inclusion among Roma/Gitano Adolescents
Authors: Garmendia Maialen , Karrera Inaki
Published: February 2019

This article analyses the way in which the digital divide affects Roma/Gitano minors. This ethnic group is a paradigmatic case among socially underprivileged groups in Spain; excluded from industrial society, they appear to be facing a similar situation in the post-industrial era. We, therefore, sought to explore the digital experiences of minors from this group in order to study social and digital exclusion/inclusion among them. The research strategy took a comprehensive approach, covering both offline and online behaviour. We focused on the results of fieldwork undertaken in Spain during 2017. In all, interviews were conducted with 17 adolescents (aged 11 to 18) as well as with several social workers who were providing support to the minors. Given that the use of technology has become a prerequisite for the welfare of children and for the development of their rights, the issue tends to centre on three main areas, commonly known as the three Ps: provision, participation, and protection. As such, the analysis of inequality was based on these areas. The findings presented in this article illustrate that the use of ICTs can contribute to empowering Roma/Gitano adolescents to improve the position they occupy as a group in the social structure.
The Cancer’s Margins Project: Access to Knowledge and Its Mobilization by LGBQ/T Cancer Patients
Authors: Taylor Evan T. , Bryson Mary K. , Boschman Lorna , Hart Tae , Gahagan Jacqueline , Rail Genevieve , Ristock Janice
Published: February 2019

Sexual and/or gender minority populations (LGBQ/T) have particular cancer risks, lower involvement in cancer screening, and experience barriers in communication with healthcare providers. All of these factors increase the probability of health decisions linked with poor outcomes that include higher levels of cancer mortality. Persistent discrimination against, and stigmatization of, LGBQ/T people is reflected in sparse medical curriculum addressing LGBQ/T communities. Marginalization makes LGBQ/T persons particularly reliant on knowledge derived from online networks and mainstream media sources. In what is likely the first nationally-funded and nation-wide study of LGBQ/T experiences of cancer, the Cancer’s Margins project (www.lgbtcancer.ca) conducted face-to-face interviews with 81 sexual and/or gender minority patients diagnosed and treated for breast and/or gynecological cancer in five Canadian provinces and the San Francisco Bay area (US). With specific attention to knowledge access, sharing, and mobilization, our objective was to document and analyze complex intersectional relationships between marginalization, gender and sexuality, and cancer health decision-making and care experiences. Findings indicate that cancer care knowledge in online environments is shaped by cisnormative and heteronormative narratives. Cancer knowledge and support environments need, by contrast, to be designed by taking into account intersectionally diverse models of minority identities and communities.

ILLUSION AND REALITY OF STATEHOOD: THE SEARCH FOR PARALLELS BETWEEN THE LITHUANIAN ACTIVIST FRONT AND THE ORGANISATION OF UKRAINIAN NATIONALISTST
Authors: Jazavita S.
Published: February 2019

he present article analyses the relationship between the Lithuanian Activist Front and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and their activity parallels in order to reach the Lithuanian and the Ukrainian independence in 1941. The research focuses on the attempts of the OUN and the LAF leaders to project the future Lithuanian and Ukrainian states in the 'New Europe' headed by Germany. Reaching for counterbalance against the USSR and the Communist ideology, the LAF and the OUN organizations aimed at taking into consideration the military and political power of Germany, while Škirpa, the leader of the LAF, coordinated his activities with the OUN leaders, Stetsko, Yaryi, and Bandera. Fanatical chiefs of the Third Reich manipulated with the Lithuanians and Ukrainians' feelings of revenge against the Bolsheviks and the will to feel Europeans; however, they involved a part of Lithuanians and Ukrainians to the massacre of Jews rather than allowed to contribute to Wehrmacht fight against the USSR. Important lesson here that Lithuania and Ukraine did not obtain any independence but just became a part of the Third Reich, which controlled the so called 'New Europe' at the time.
PARTNERSHIP OF THE AUTHORITY, BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY AS A COMPLEX OF THE CAPACITY OF THE UNIONED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES
Authors: Bovsunovskaya I.
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this article is a theoretical and methodological analysis of the development of the institution of partnership of power, business and community as a mechanism for increasing the capacity of the united territorial communities to resolving of local issues. The main сonclusions and results of the research are used in the educational process in the development and teaching of normative and special courses "Economics and Governance" and "Decentralization and Development of Territorial Communities" at the Tavrida National V. I. Vernadsky University for the students of the Master's program "Public Management and Administration". The concept of the capacity of the territorial community as an ability to perform the functions entrusted by the legislation directly to the community and local self-government authorities with regard to ensuring its life and development is defined. The configuration of the capacity of the territorial community has been substantiated, its components (internal and external capacity) have been clarified. The functioning of the institution of partnership between the authorities, the private sector and the community is considered as an important part of the capacity of territorial communities to decide local issues. It is proved that strengthening the local economy, the competitiveness of the territories, increasing investment and improving the quality of life requires understanding of the processes of local economic development and taking strategic action in a changing, and increasingly competitive, market economy. It has been determined that the role of the state as an important participant in partnership with local governments, with territorial communities and the private sector is becoming more and more significant. The main results of this article can be applied by public authorities, local government authorities, research centers and institutes, and higher educational institutions.
LEGAL ASSUMPTION AS THE BASIS FOR REMOVAL OF BURDEN OF PROOF
Authors: Golts Edgars
Published: February 2019

This work is part of the author's research promotion work on evidence in tax law. The author establishes in his work the objective of examining the legal assumption – the presumption, replacing the evidence in the dispute, which, in turn, is the basis for transferring the burden of proof to the other party involved in the dispute. The author comes to the conclusion that the burden of proof, whether transferable or not, has been transferred to the opposing party in cases where the evidence has been replaced by a presumption. The author uses scientific methods in his work: analytical, inductive (cognition), monographic or descriptive, quantitative, qualitative method. The author examines the grounds of proof and the interaction of legal presumption only in the field of public law, in particular in criminal procedural and administrative infringement proceedings. In this work, as in previous works, the author examines procedural issues of administrative offences identical to criminal law, based on the notion that administrative violation rights are viewable like criminal matters, on the same principles and standards of evidence.
THE STATUS OF A VICTIM IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Siliņš Rolands
Published: February 2019

The article examines the status of the victim in criminal proceedings, identifying in this context the problems existing in the Criminal Procedure Law and making proposals for the improvement of the regulation specified in the Criminal Procedure Law. With the recognition of the Criminal Procedure Code as invalid and the entry into force of the Criminal Procedure Law, a fundamental guideline has changed: being victim is the right, not the obligation, that is, the victim himself decides on the use of his rights and the use of the necessary remedies. In order to consistently implement the aforementioned change of the status of a victim, it is worth considering to prescribe in the Criminal Procedure Law that the victim himself determines the successor of the rights or, on the contrary, informs that he does not want his interests to be represented in criminal proceedings in the event of the eventual death of the victim. In case if an informed victim has refrained from providing clear instructions regarding the transfer of the victim’s rights, it is assumed that the victim agrees that, in case of his eventual death, one of the successors determined in the Criminal Procedure Law may become his successor of rights.
CONSENT AS A LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Authors: Bomiņš Māris
Published: February 2019

While the principles encompassed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) were mostly welcomed, one of them, namely the consent, caused prolonged controversy among privacy scholars, human rights advocates and business world due to their pivotal impact on the way personal data would be handled under the new legal provisions and the drastic consequences of enforcing these new requirements in the era of big data and internet of things. In this work, we firstly review all controversies around the new stringent definitions of consent in reference to their implementation impact on privacy and personal data protection, and secondly, we evaluate existing legislation in terms of fulfilling the practicalities for the implementation and effective integration of the new requirements.For the reasons explained above, consent is far removed from an easy option under the GDPR. Greater specification around what is meant by consent has brought with it more detailed and onerous obligations. Additionally, sometimes may first wish to look closely at the other legal grounds available to establish whether there is an available alternative to the consent path. In addition, given the extensive lengths that a data controller now has to go to demonstrate a valid consent according new legislation, it is important to see what further steps may be needed to distinguish such a consent from one that is explicit. For this and other reasons, the arguments around what makes consent effective are unlikely to be put to bed by the GDPR and it remains a rough-edged concept to tackle.

A temática sobre parques em áreas urbanas é extremamente importante, permitindo diversas reflexões e perspectivas de análise. Neste trabalho, procura-se dar ênfase e articular discussões acerca dos benefícios ambientais proporcionados por parques urbanos e suas contribuições para a qualidade de vida da população, bem como avaliar o conforto térmico pelo índice de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar - ITU, verificando-se os horários pertinentes para prática de atividades físicas e de lazer pela população. O parque Mãe Bonifácia desempenha diferentes funções no espaço urbano devido a vegetação arbórea que o constitui, dentre estas os benefícios para a qualidade ambiental, para a saúde e bem-estar da população. Os índices de temperatura e umidade obtidos resultaram em valores mais amenos de temperatura e mais elevados de umidade e, consequentemente, maior conforto térmico no interior do parque em comparação aos valores obtidos na média geral de toda região urbana.Partindo-se desta premissa, é de extrema relevância estudos, que discutam a importância destas áreas no espaço urbano. Palavras-chave: Parques Urbanos. Ilha de Calor. Qualidade de Vida.AbstractThe issue on parks in urban areas is extremely important,allowing multiple looks and analytical perspectives. In this work, it was sought to emphasize and articulate discussions about the environmental benefits provided by urban parks and their contributions to the population’squality of life, to evaluate the thermal comfort by the index of temperature and relative humidity of the air (ITU), being verified, the pertinent schedules for practice of physical activities and leisure by the population. Mãe Bonifácia park has different functions in the urban space due to the arboreal vegetation that constitutes it, among them benefits for the environmental quality, for the population’s health and well-being. The temperature and humidity indices obtained resulted in lower temperature values and higher humidity and consequently, greater thermal comfort within the park compared to values obtained in the general average of the entire urban region. Starting from this premise, it isextremely relevant that studies discuss the priority to non-urban space areas. It is important to emphasize the importance that park users must have when carrying out activities after 10 o’clock, mainly in relation to the use of sunscreen, use of light clothes and light colors and constant hydration, to relieve discomfort generated at these times.Keywords: Urban Parks.

Yalnızlık ve Yetersizlik Duygusu Arasındaki İlişkide Kendini Saklamanın Aracı Rolü
Authors: ÇİMŞİR Elif , AKDOĞAN Ramazan
Published: February 2019

Bu araştırmada kendini saklamanın yetersizlik duygusu ile yalnızlık arasındaki olası aracı rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında Anadolu Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesinde eğitim gören 147 lisans öğrencisine Yetersizlik Duygusu Ölçeği, UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği ve Kendini Saklama Ölçeği Uygulanmıştır. Aracılık analizi Hayes (2013) tarafından geliştirilen SPSS PROCESS eklentisi (Model 4) ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular kendini saklamanın yetersizlik duygusu ile yalnızlık arasında kısmi bir aracılık işlevi gördüğünü (c’=0.03; p<.001) diğer bir deyişle bireyin yetersizlik duyguları arttıkça kendini saklamaya olan eğiliminin de arttığını ve bununla bağlantılı olarak bireyin kendini yalnız hissetme ihtimalinin de yükseldiğini göstermektedir. Araştırma bulgularına dayanarak, yetersizlik duygusuna sahip bireylerin diğerlerini tehdit olarak algıladıkları için (Adler, 1985) kendileri ile ilgili bilgileri paylaşmaktan kaçınmaya eğilim gösterdikleri ve bu eğilimin de yalnızlıkla sonuçlanma olasılığının arttığı belirtilebilir. Kendini saklama ile yetersizlik duygusu arasındaki pozitif ilişkiye yönelik araştırma bulgusu (r=.22, p<.05), kendini saklamanın durumsal nedenlerin (durumun niteliği, sosyal ortam ve bilginin muhteviyatı gibi) yanı sıra daha karmaşık bir psikolojik değişken olan yetersizlik duygusuyla da ilişkili olabileceğine işaret etmesi açısından önemli görülmektedir.
Acute renal failure in cirrhosis of liver: a hospital based observational study
Authors: Mili Chakradhaj , Laskar Basanta
Published: February 2019

Background: In general, there is a propensity among the physicians to label a patient with cirrhosis developing a raised creatinine level as HRS and treat it as such thereby ignoring the other causes particularly in this part of the country. This study was undertaken to find out the causes of acute renal failure and their outcome in cirrhotic patients.Methods: One forty three cirrhotic patients with acute renal failure were enrolled and investigated for causes of renal failure and their outcomes.Results: 92 (64.33%) patients had single factor whereas 51 (35.66%) patients had multiple factors (two or more), causing renal failure. Hypovolemia (34.27%) was the most common cause of renal failure followed by herbal medications (11.19%), HRS (11.19%) and infections (7.69%) as a single factor. Among multiple factors, 45 (31.46%) patients had hypovolemia followed by 36 (25.17%), 18 (12.58%) and 8 (5.59%) patients having infections, herbal medications and use of nephrotoxic drugs respectively. Reversibility was seen in 72 (50.35%) patients and more common in hypovolemia (85.71%) as a single factor. Total all-cause mortality was 33 (23%) and highest mortality was seen in HRS 75% (n=12) followed by infections (45.45%) and herbal medications (25%).Conclusions: Hypovolemia was the most common cause of renal failure followed by infections, herbal medications and hepatorenal syndrome. Early detection and proper volume replacement are the key points in the management. Detailed history regarding use of herbal medications is also very important issue.

Authors: Surriah Mohammed Hillu , Bakkour Amine Mohammed , Hussain Nidaa Ali Abdul
Published: February 2019

Background: Sigmoid volvulus is defined as torsion of the sigmoid colon around its mesenteric axis, which leads to acute large intestine obstruction, which, if left untreated, often results in life-threatening complications, such as bowel ischemia, gangrene and perforation. The aim of this study was to analyse sigmoid colon volvulus when its presented as a surgical emergency.Methods: This was a prospective study of 25 patients presented with the features of strangulated sigmoid colon volvulus to Al-Karama Teaching Hospital (surgical casualty) from March 2014 to March 2018. Eighteen patients (72%) were males and seven patients (28%) were females. The age of the patients ranged from 20-70 years. The main risk factor was chronic constipation, laxative dependency and high fiber diet. The main presenting symptoms and signs were absolute constipation, generalized abdominal distension, tenderness, tachycardia and fever. The patients were investigated by plain abdominal X-ray and haematological investigations.Results: Among the 25 patients, 13 had distended gangrenous sigmoid colon volvulus, 9 out of the remaining 12 patients were discovered to have distended non-gangrenous sigmoid colon volvulus of the rest 3 patients, 2 were found to have Ileo-sigmoid knotting and the last patient had a perforated gangrenous sigmoid colon volvulus. Four patients developed postoperative complications and one patient died.Conclusions: Volvulus of the sigmoid colon is more predominant in males. Middle age individuals seem to be the most affected group by sigmoid colon volvulus. Majority of patients with sigmoid colon volvulus have history of chronic constipation, laxative dependency and high fiber diet.
A study of evaluation of chronic pain abdomen in pediatric patients by laparoscopy
Authors: Khasnis Ravindra G. , S. Rajshankar
Published: February 2019

Background: Pain in abdomen of chronic nature is common in children but being so common difficult to determine the exact cause. It has been estimated that around 2-4% of all the pediatric patients attend the outpatient department are due to pain in the abdomen that is of chronic nature in children. It has been seen that routine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures fail to make a justice of the diagnosis and management for the pain in the abdomen of chronic nature. The aim was to study the role of laparoscopy in children with chronic pain abdomen.Methods: Interventional follow up study was carried out among 19 children with pain in the abdomen of chronic nature. Detailed history pertaining to pain in the abdomen, history of surgical explorations was taken. As a part of the work up of a patient the investigations were done routinely. All children were evaluated by laparoscopy.Results: Majority of the children were in the age group of 11-12 years i.e. 42.1%. Male and female children were almost equal in distribution. USG was diagnostic in 9 patients (47.36%). Laparoscopy was diagnostic in all 18 other cases (95% cases). 73.68% had not complication after the procedure. Only four patients had fever after the surgery and only one patient had wound infection. Thus, overall the laparoscopic procedure was very successful. Laparoscopy and USG were equally effective in diagnosing inguinal hernia.Conclusions: Laparoscopy had better diagnostic value compared to ultrasonography. Laparoscopic intervention was successful with minimum complications.

Authors: Nagrani Prateek , Roy Samarjit , Jindal Rashmi
Published: February 2019

Background: Psoriasis is a common inflammatory dermatosis with a chronic course that can have a significant detrimental effect on the quality of life (QoL) of those suffering from it. We conducted this study to evaluate the effect of psoriasis on QoL and to assess the impact of demographic factors and disease severity on QoL.

Methods: Ninety patients attending the Dermatology OPD at Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences were included in the study. Their demographic details and history were recorded, followed by a physical examination including assessment of disease severity. DLQI was used to measure QoL. T-test and ANOVA were used to study the effect of demographic factors and disease severity on QoL. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Out of 90 patients, 61(67.78%) were males and 29 (32.22%) were females. The mean DLQI score was 15.00±4.93. QoL was impacted by age, sex, marital status and disease severity, whereas place of residence and educational status had no correlation with DLQI scores.

Conclusions: There is a marked negative impact on QoL of psoriasis sufferers; hence it becomes important to take the psycho-social aspect of the disease into consideration during treatment.

Authors: Jácome Marília De Queiroz Dias , De Araujo Tereza Cristina Cavalcanti Ferreira
Published: February 2019

Investigou-se concepções de membros de Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP), acerca do processo de avaliação ética, em meio virtual, com um questionário, respondido por 295 membros de CEP do país. As respostas indicaram comitês majoritariamente em instituições de ensino superior, membros no primeiro mandato, das ciências biológicas e saúde, com mestrado, e não especializados em ética em pesquisa. Os membros atribuiram aos CEP papel educativo; tiveram capacitação variada, e consideraram importante fazer parte do CEP por contribuírem para a difusão do cuidado ético nas pesquisas. Utilizavam na avaliação, as diretrizes éticas nacionais; e para eles, todas as pesquisas com participação de seres humanos deveriam ser avaliadas. Conclui-se que os membros dos CEP estão envolvidos com o trabalho, entretanto, por estarem a pouco tempo no mandato, sentem dificuldade em avaliar os aspectos éticos das pesquisas, ou seja, exercer o papel mais importante do CEP, que é o da revisão ética.
Uma antropóloga em um comitê de ética em pesquisa social: um relato pessoal
Authors: Fleischer Soraya
Published: February 2019

A implantação de uma regulamentação ética da pesquisa científica em dezenas de países nas últimas décadas configura um dos importantes passos na proteção dos sujeitos partícipes de pesquisas. No caso brasileiro, em 1996, o Ministério da Saúde inaugurou o Conselho Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa (CONEP), bem como um sistema de revisão ética que, pouco a pouco, se popularizou pelas universidades, hospitais e secretarias de saúde do país na forma de Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP). De 2009 a 2015, como antropóloga, participei de um CEP na Universidade de Brasília, como membro titular (vice coordenadora e coordenadora) e depois membro suplente. Aqui, pretendo resgatar essa experiência e lançar uma mirada crítica ao Sistema CEP/CONEP na expectativa de contribuir para avançá-lo, ainda que esse relato esteja circunscrito especificamente àquela época da cultura de revisão ética no país

Cuidados éticos na pesquisa social: entre normas e reflexões críticas
Authors: Silva Érica Quinaglia , Lionço Tatiana
Published: February 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre o sentido da regulamentação ética da pesquisa envolvendo seres humanos nas Ciências Humanas e Sociais. Pretendemos, como integrantes de um comitê de ética voltado para a apreciação de pesquisas nessas áreas, contribuir para a defesa dessa regulamentação por meio de uma reflexão crítica, na qual a ética não é entendida como sinônimo de conhecimento técnico. A missão prioritária dos comitês de ética em pesquisa deve ser proteger os sujeitos participantes das pesquisas científicas, sendo esse um dispositivo fundamental para o controle social da ciência. Para além do protocolo de revisão ética formalmente exigido, concorrem para a noção de ética deliberações plurais, das quais a própria sociedade deve participar. Mais particularmente, em relação às nossas aproximações a sujeitos participantes de pesquisas, devemos levar em consideração uma ética de responsabilidade que implique a reflexão sobre os desdobramentos de nossa presença e de nossas ações por meio de pesquisas nas vidas e instituições diante das quais nos propusemos incidir
Análise das interações verbais professor-aluno: implicações para a construção de um discurso reflexivo
Authors: Arrigo Viviane , Assai Natany Dayani De Souza , Broietti Fabiele Cristiane Dias , Lorencini Júnior Álvaro
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo busca analisar a forma como o professor interage com os alunos e as implicações destas interações para a construção de um discurso reflexivo, por meio da análise das interações descritas por Flanders e o tipos de perguntas definidos por Carvalho (2012). Os dados apresentados e analisados são provenientes das interações verbais entre o professor e seus alunos ocorridas em uma aula de Química do Ensino Médio, registradas por um estudante na disciplina de Estágio Supervisionado.  A elaboração do sistema de análise permitiu identificar a influência das participações do professor e dos alunos durante a aula na construção do discurso reflexivo. Assim, constatamos que o fato do professor não fornecer o tempo necessário para os alunos intervirem durante a aula, caracteriza o seu discurso como sendo um discurso de autoridade constituído na maioria das vezes por perguntas retóricas, inibindo a participação dos alunos e a troca de significações em um processo de negociação. Em sentido contrário, defendemos que quanto mais o professor adotar perguntas de maior exigência cognitiva possibilitando tempo para as respostas e com as intervenções pedagógicas do professor por meio de outras perguntas ou explicações promove-se o contato interativo para a construção de um discurso mais reflexivo

Published: February 2019

The purpose of this study is to determine the needs for a mobile application which will be developed so that the problems faced by academics in intra-faculty communication can be solved and their professional development can be supported. A questionnaire form consisting of two sections was used by researchers as a data collection tool of the study. Frequency analysis was conducted on the data obtained from the academics who were included in the study. At the end of the study, it was concluded that academics experienced problems as regards the communication means they used in the faculty, that phone costs increased, lines were mostly occupied, meetings took too much time and e-mails occasionally were not delivered. It was found out that academics requested that intra-faculty communication should be performed through a mobile device and should be given educative information as regards their professional development.

Assessment of knowledge and confidence for E-learning
Authors: Kaleci Devkan , Akleman Ergun
Published: February 2019

One of the most important goals in E-learning is to guarantee that participants reach the learning objectives. We have observed that having the knowledge of the subject is not sufficient for reaching learning objectives. The participants must also develop understanding that they know the subject, which we have named confidence. In this work, we have demonstrated that it is possible to assess both knowledge and confidence using only two different types of multiple-choice test questions. We have developed 1) a method to design questions to identify both knowledge and confidence and 2) a method to estimate actual knowledge and confidence from answers. We have evaluated our method using Monte-Carlo simulations. Our simulations demonstrated that it is always possible to obtain reliable estimations for knowledge and confidence using approximately 100 multiple choice test questions in a given subject.
