Reflections on a peer-led Writing Café
Authors: Webb Emily , Edwards Felicity , Harrington Zoe , Middleton Eve , Somekh Amy , Wijesiriwardena Tharushi
Published: November 2023

Academic writing can often be a solitary, even isolating, experience for students. For those new to UK higher education institutions, as well as those seeking to develop their academic skills, academic writing can be a daunting task. Supporting students with academic writing is a significant element of the work of the Learning Development team at the University of Leeds. Established methods of support, including co-curricular and embedded workshops, online resources, and one-to-one appointments, are effective, but they do little to promote a sense of community or belonging. Instead, the power dynamic between student and learning advisor remains very similar to the one students experience with academic staff. Peer support has proved to be a powerful tool in learning development, especially in academic writing (Longfellow et al., 2008; Pritchard, 2015; Tamachi et al., 2018). Building on the successes of PASS/PAL schemes and peer-led support at other institutions, the LD team at Leeds opened a Writing Café in October 2022 to support undergraduate students in the development of their academic writing. Led by five student ‘academic writing mentors’, the Writing Café offers an opportunity for undergraduates to have a less isolating experience of writing while building their communities and networks within the institution.
Apps in LD: gifts or gimmicks?
Authors: West Amy
Published: November 2023

In ‘one-shot’ Learning Development (LD) teaching, how much space is there for using apps (and similar technologies) creatively? Can they further students’ understanding and enable active learning within workshops; is there even potential for using them in tutorials? What barriers are there to their use, how could we remove these, and indeed should we – is there enough to be gained or are they just a gimmick?
 
This Wild Card session was an opportunity to collaboratively explore the potential of a selection of apps and technologies which are used in other areas of education, and consider whether they can augment provision in LD. The apps and programmes chosen for this session were used in an international Erasmus+ research project, which worked with lecturers, teachers, students, and school children who observed their strengths and limitations in use (Digital Learning Across Boundaries: Developing Changemakers (DLAB), 2017-2022). This Wild Card session looked to evaluate how these apps might be applied in the LD world by reviewing benefits and barriers to their use in an LD context, and considering how we might maximise any usefulness and contend with limitations or concerns. I wanted to explore how they might support transition through familiarity and links with previous education experiences, and whether the activities which use them might impact on belonging. Participants were encouraged to evaluate and share their thoughts on the apps, and collectively generate a resource of ideas as to their use in LD. This resource could then be shared and drawn on by others.
Evaluation of clopidogrel use on gastric precancerous lesions: Does it have chemopreventive effect?
Authors: AKYOL Taner
Published: November 2023

Aims: Gastric malignancies are the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Although aspirin and clopidogrel have been reported to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, their effects on gastric cancer are still under investigation. In this study, we aimed to determine whether clopidogrel has an effect on the development of gastric precancerous lesions.

Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective case-control study. The study was conducted between January 2021 and April 2023 in the Gastroenterology Clinic of Samsun University Samsun Training and Research Hospital. Patients who underwent upper GIS endoscopy and biopsy examination due to dyspeptic complaints were scanned from the electronic data system of the hospital and their data were recorded by forming 4 groups as clopidogrel (89 patients), low-dose aspirin (ASA) (172 patients), non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NA-NSAID) users (110 patients) and control group without antiplatelet use (110 patients). Statistical analyses were accomplished with SPSS for Windows v20.0.

Results: Mean duration of drug use was 2 years for clopidogrel, 1.47 years for ASA and 0.35 years for NA-NSAID. The incidence of peptic ulcer was 7.2% in the control group, 38%, 15.1%, 49% in clopidogrel, ASA, NA-NSAID users, respectively (p

SEMÁNTICA DE LOS EXPERIMENTOS (MENTALES) DE GRAVEDAD DE GALILEO
Authors: Hertogh C. P.
Published: November 2023

Los TE de los cuerpos en caída aparecen en el Diálogo sobre los Dos Nuevos Principios de 1638, y recientemente han sido actualizados por el experimento del martillo y la pluma de la misión Apollo 15, una prueba de caída realizada en la superficie de la luna (Scott, 1971). En la literatura reciente sobre TE se destaca que durante mucho tiempo se les ha considerado erróneamente como un experimento real (Galileo lanzando dos objetos desde la Torre de Pisa), y que actualmente se analizan como un TE antagónico a Aristóteles, de cuerpos compuestos o atados (Gendler, 1996/2000; Brown, 1991a, 1991b; Sorensen, 1992; Brown & Fehige, 2019).

 

En los análisis lógicos profundos mostramos, con la ayuda de la lógica matemática de predicados, que (1) la teoría transitiva aristotélica de la caída es reemplazada por la teoría galileana, más simple, de la gravedad simétrica (ya que en el segundo caso, todos los objetos caen independientemente de sus masas con la misma velocidad relativa a la constante de gravedad del cuerpo celeste bajo investigación) y (2) que, de acuerdo con, por ejemplo, las suposiciones carnapianas, los protocolos inductivos y deductivos pueden considerarse complementarios, es decir, traducibles entre sí, lo que puede explicar cómo los TE de ensayo y error pueden interpretarse como experimentos Ideales.

The Prediction Level of Teachers' Perceptions of Psychological Empowerment on Job Satisfaction and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
Authors: ERTÜRK Ramazan
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine the prediction level of teachers' psychological empowerment perceptions on their job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors. The research is designed in the relational survey model. 400 teachers working in primary schools in Bolu, Turkey participated in the study and out of 356 teachers participating in the study voluntarily, 314 scales were delivered back and evaluated. Psychological Empowerment Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale and Organizational Citizenship Scale were used as data collection instruments. The findings indicated that teachers’ perceptions of psychological empowerment were moderate in self-determination, and high in other dimensions and the whole scale. The moderate level of teachers’ perceptions of job satisfaction and organizational citizenship is a striking and concerning result. When teachers do not have high level of job satisfaction, their performance will decrease, and it will be difficult for these teachers to exhibit organizational citizenship behavior. In the study, that the teachers’ perceptions of psychological empowerment affect both job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors necessitates the importance of psychological empowerment in increasing teachers' job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors. In this sense, it is an important finding that teachers’ job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors will be increased by means of them having self- determination over their work, increasing their competence, making them influential by allowing to think, talk about and intervene the incidents that occur in the school, and ensuring their participation in work-related decisions. The finding indicating that teachers’ perceptions of psychological empowerment play an important role in increasing their job satisfaction and organizational citizenshipBehavior reveals the authenticity of the research.

Published: November 2023

Young children are perfectly adapted to learning STEM concepts. A growing body of research indicates that experiences with science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are critical in preparing young children to think critically, creatively, and solve problems. These are valuable skills young children need to succeed in school, work, and life. This raising awareness of STEM education needs has led to a push for STEM integration in early childhood (EC) settings while giving limited attention to the teaching of STEM in the EC field and targeted STEM professional development programs. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the EC teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and practices about STEM integrated curriculums and STEM teaching in pre-K settings after attending a series of STEM integration teacher professional development programs. The data collected from interviews with EC teachers revealed that they were positively impacted by the STEM-integrated professional development, resources, and materials available to implement the STEM units. According to the teachers’ beliefs, children were also positively impacted by their teacher’s professional learning and high confidence in teaching STEM-related topics and activities. A discussion of the findings and implications for future research and practice is presented.

Authors: Ibrahim Reem Mohamed
Published: November 2023

This study investigated preservice teachers’ self-efficacy and attitude in working with ELLs in Arkansas. The investigator employed a within-subject design to examine the interrelationships among social cognitive variables (self-efficacy, motivation, and teachers’ preparation programs) and their role in predicting preservice teachers' confidence to teach ELLs in their future classrooms. The main finding of this study is that preservice teachers who are attending educational programs have high-levels of motivation and self-efficacy to work with ELLs in Arkansas. Furthermore, the results of this study revealed that preservice teachers show a strong and positive correlation between their level of confidence to engage ELLs in class activities, to create instructional strategies tailored for ELLs, and to manage ELLs classroom environment. Finally, the results of this study found that speaking a second-language and the level of intrinsic motivation are significant predictors of preservice teachers’ self-efficacy to work with ELLs in their future classrooms. In general, these results are consistent with previous findings produced in the context of preservice and in- service teachers.
Solar FTIR measurements of NOx vertical distributions: Part II) Experiment-based scaling factors describing the diurnal increase of stratospheric NO2 and NO
Authors: Nürnberg Pinchas , Strode Sarah A. , Sussmann Ralf
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Long-term experimental stratospheric NO2 and NO partial columns measured by means of solar Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectromertry at Zugspitze (47.42° N, 10.98° E, 2964 m a.s.l.), Germany were used to create a set of experiment-based monthly scaling factors (SFexp). The underlying data set is published in a companion paper (Nürnberg et al., 2023) comprising over 25 years of measurements depicting the diurnal variability of stratospheric NO2 and NO partial columns in dependence of local solar time (LST). In analogy to recently published simulation-based scaling factors by Strode et al. (2022), we created SFexp normalized to local solar noon for NO2 and NO for every month of the year as a function of solar zenith angle (SZA). Beside a boundary value problem at minimum SZA values originating in averaging over different times of the month, the obtained scaling factors SFexp(NO2) and SFexp(NO) in dependence of SZA represent very well the diurnal behavior already shown in model simulations and experiment in the literature. This behavior is a well pronounced increase of the NO2 and NO stratospheric partial colum with the time of the day and a flattening of this increase after noon. In addition to the discussion of SFexp, we validate the simulation-based scaling factors SFsim(NO2) (Strode et al., 2022) and present simulation-based scaling factors for NO SFsim(NO). The simulation-based scaling factors show an excellent agreement with our the experiment-based ones, i.e. for NO2 and NO the mean bias of the modulus between experiment and simulation over all SZA and months is only 0.02 %. We show, that recently used model simulations can describe very well the real behavior of nitrogen oxide (NOx) variability in the stratosphere. Furthermore, we conclude that ground-based FTIR measurements can be used for validation of the output of photochemistry models as well as creating experiment-based data sets describing the diurnal stratospheric NOx variability in dependence of SZA. This is a contribution to improved satellite validation and a better understanding of stratospheric photochemistry.

The conventional method used for queuing services for Indonesian passport BAP is no longer relevant to these circumstances and the covid-19 pandemic and has not been able to answer future immigration challenges. The current queuing system is that applicants must come to the immigration office for scheduling processing and then be recorded by manual book officer queue. The Online Queue System for Indonesian Passport BAP can be a solution to help current problems and answer future challenges. The online queuing system that will be implemented can be processed through a queuing system link that can be posted on the social media of the Bekasi immigration office. The online queuing system cycle method used by the author in this online queuing system is a waterfall method where each stage must be completed before entering the next phase. Starting from analyzing system requirements, system design, system implementation, system testing, and system implementation and maintenance. The result of the process is that the online queuing system for Indonesian passport BAP has gone through each stage well so that the online queuing system is feasible to implement. The online queuing system is expected to help the intelligence section and prosecution of the Bekasi immigration office provide convenience for applicants and is very effective with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions and responds to future service challenges.

Fakta empiris yang menempatkan Indonesia sebagai negara non-ratifikasi Konvensi 1951 dan protokol 1967 tentang pengungsi, sekiranya menjadi hambatan fundamental untuk merespon lebih jauh problematika terkait keberadaan pengungsi di teritorial Indonesia, khususnya mencakup aspek pemenuhan hidup mendasar layaknya Pendidikan. Ketetapan yuridis terkait keimigrasian pada Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2011 Tentang Keimigrasian juga tidak selaras untuk mendukung pemerintah, khususnya instansi imigrasi dalam rangka penanganan pengungsi, bahkan pengungsi asing masih dianggap sebagai subjek  orang asing yang masuk secara non-prosedural, sehingga harus ditempatkan di Fasilitas Keimigrasian berupa Rumah Detensi Imigrasi (Rudenim) atau tempat lain yang menunjang fungsi pemondokan bagi pengungsi dengan menerapkan SOP Rudenim. Kendati demikian, pemerintah terikat pada Konvensi Hak Anak untuk menjamin pemenuhan Pendidikan kepada anak-anak pengungsi sebagai subjek rentan dan memiliki keterikatan secara moral dalam merespons problematika pengungsi yang transit di Indonesia akibat mengalami refoulement oleh beberapa negara ketiga yang seharusnya dapat menjadi lokus resettlement bagi para pengungsi. Meninjau pada situasi tersebut, benturan hukum dan moralitas yang terjadi menjadi celah konkret bagi instansi imigrasi untuk memantik para stakeholder dalam memberikan problem solving secara sementara dengan mengembangkan platform Pendidikan khusus berbasis teknologi aplikasi yang sifatnya terbatas bagi anak-anak pengungsi, baik pengungsi asing maupun domestik. Adanya langkah konkret untuk memperhatikan pemenuhan Pendidikan secara inklusif kepada warga dunia menunjukkan sisi pro aktif dari pemerintah dengan menerapkan konklusi yang berorientasi pada dasar humanitas untuk menyambut proyeksi besar terkait Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan.

Sistemas alimentarios urbanos y su gobernanza, ¿una alternativa viable para Venezuela en el marco de los sistemas agroalimentarios sostenibles?
Authors: Anido José
Published: November 2023

En las últimas décadas se observa en la literatura la creciente preocupación en cuanto al desafío que supone alimentar de forma sostenible a una población en continuo crecimiento. Se observa también un creciente consenso en cuanto a que los sistemas agroalimentarios, además de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria, deberán adoptar de métodos más eficaces y sostenibles de producción, ser más sostenibles e inclusivos y adaptarse al cambio climático. Esto es aún más trascendental para las ciudades, que concentran la mayor proporción de la población y en donde se consume más de 2/3 del total de agua y de energía. Bajo estas consideraciones se desarrolló un estudio exploratorio y de revisión, a partir de fuentes secundarias. El objetivo central fue estudiar una alternativa que ha emergido recientemente a nivel internacional: los sistemas alimentarios urbanos y su gobernanza, a partir de la revisión de algunos elementos teóricos y tendencias. Con base en esta revisión se discutió su viabilidad en el caso venezolano, examinando algunas experiencias recientes y considerando tanto los recursos actualmente disponibles como las principales barreras para su materialización a nivel nacional. También se discutió cómo podrían coadyuvar a la consecución de los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible de Naciones Unidas, en particular, como espacios capaces de proveer alimentos sanos, de manera sostenible y que permitan mejorar los medios de vida de la población. Entre los principales recursos disponibles se identificaron la infraestructura de educación y formación en el área del país, junto con un marco jurídico-legal e institucional renovado y –en el papel– abiertamente proambientalista y orientado al ciudadano. Entre las limitaciones destacan: i) la creciente desforestación y quema de especies vegetales; ii) deterioro del servicio agua potable y su uso en la agricultura urbana; iii) la migración de la población, particularmente la de mayor formación académica y profesional; iv) el deterioro del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación y declive del financiamiento público a través de la LOCTI; v) opacidad y extemporaneidad de la información oficial; y vi) escasez de financiamiento para instalación y adecuación de desarrollos nuevos o existentes. El otro aspecto abordado fueron las dificultades para implementar un adecuado modelo de gobernanza, debido en parte a la creciente centralización de decisiones, pérdida de autoridad de los gobiernos locales y escasa interlocución y negociación entre los distintos niveles de gobierno, el sector privado y las comunidades.
