Türkisch für Anfänger: propuesta de un corpus del alemán coloquial actual, ejemplificado a partir de las fórmulas rutinarias de saludo
Authors: Baquero Castro Karen Lorena
Published: September 2023

En el contexto de la enseñanza del alemán como lengua extranjera, aprendices y docentes se enfrentan al vacío de una didáctica que optimice el proceso y los resultados de aprendizaje de unidades fraseológicas. En un sentido amplio de la fraseología, se encuentran las fórmulas rutinarias, expresiones cuya polifuncionalidad y complejidad pragmática evidencian la necesidad de crear materiales auténticos basados en el análisis de corpus lingüísticos que apelen al contexto. Para ello, presento en este artículo la metodología de creación de una base de datos compuesta por 12.911 líneas de diálogo de la serie alemana Türkisch für Anfänger1, el análisis de un subgrupo de fórmulas de saludo presentes en la misma y la correspondiente implicación didáctica para el aprendizaje de dichas unidades basadas en el alemán actual cotidiano. In the context of teaching German as a foreign language, learners and teachers encounter a lack of didactics that optimizes the process and results of a learner in phraseological units. In a broad sense of the phraseology, there are conversational routines, expressions whose polyfunctional nature and complex pragmatics show the need to create authentic materials based on the analysis of a linguistic corpus that applies to the context. The present article shows the methodology used to create a database made up of 12,911 lines of dialogue from the German television series Türkisch für Anfänger2. In addition, it shows an analysis of a subgroup of greeting routines available in the corresponding didactic proposal to learn such phrases based on quotidian German language used today.
Relacionando los análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo. Una propuesta de modelo estadístico predictivo para completar la descripción compleja de los verbos cognitivos
Authors: Amparo Soler Bonafont M.
Published: September 2023

El objetivo del presente capítulo es realizar una propuesta de descripción de los usos semántico-pragmáticos de unas formas verbales complejas como son las formas performativas de los verbos cognitivos, concretamente, de su forma paradigmática creo, en la interacción oral. Para ello se lleva a cabo una aproximación cognitiva con base en una propuesta estadística predictiva, creada a partir de un sistema de regresiones multinomiales (con la herramienta STATA). Se persigue que el modelo diseñado permita reconocer con un elevado grado de explicatividad ante qué significados y funciones pragmáticas de unidades polisémicas y polifuncionales como creo nos encontramos, una vez sistematizadas las principales circunstancias de aparición cualitativas que las rodean. El estudio de formas se da en un corpus compilado de conversaciones coloquiales y de discursos de debate parlamentario. Como resultado, se obtiene un modelo de análisis predictivo replicable en otros textos y géneros en los que pueden aparecer unidades epistémicas similares. The goal of this chapter is to bring a description proposal for the semantic and pragmatic uses of some complex verbal forms like the performative forms of cognitive verbs, specifically creo, in oral interaction. For this purpose, it is carried out a cognitive approach based on a predictive statistical pattern created with a multinomial regressions system (through STATA tool). It is intended that the designed model allows the researcher to recognize what senses and pragmatic functions is dealing with in so polysemic and polyfunctional units as creo, with a high degree of explanation, once the main circumstances of its qualitative appearances are systematized. The study of forms is done in a compiled corpus of colloquial conversations and parliamentary debates. As a result, it is obtained a predictive model of analysis which is replicable in other texts and genres in which some similar epistemic units can appear.
Correlación entre la metáfora orientacional bueno es arriba / malo es abajo y polaridad positiva/negativa en verbos del español: un estudio con estadística de corpus
Authors: López Hidalgo Benjamín , Renau Irene , Nazar Rogelio
Published: September 2023

La metáfora conceptual se ha estudiado ampliamente mediante lingüística de corpus, pero es necesario seguir proponiendo métodos estadísticos que permitan hallar evidencia cuantitativamente significativa sobre su uso en el discurso. Además, la metáfora orientacional en particular ha sido poco abordada en la investigación sobre metáfora conceptual. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprobar la relación entre la orientación vertical (arriba/abajo) y la polaridad (positiva/negativa, respectivamente) que existe en las metáforas orientacionales del tipo bueno es arriba / malo es abajo halladas en corpus. Se seleccionaron 10 verbos del español con significado ‘subir’ / ‘bajar’ y se midió su asociación en las concordancias del corpus con unidades léxicas con significado ‘positivo’ / ‘negativo’ (resp.), etiquetadas mediante un lexicón de polaridad. Los resultados indican que existe tal asociación en el 80% de los casos analizados. Conceptual metaphors have been extensively studied by means of corpus linguistics, but there is a need to continue proposing statistical methods that allow us to find quantitatively meaningful evidence on its use in discourse. Moreover, orientational metaphors in particular are yet to be sufficiently addressed in conceptual metaphor research. The present research aims to test the relationship between vertical orientation (up/down) and polarity (positive/negative, respectively) that exists in orientational metaphors of the type good is up / bad is down found in corpora. Ten Spanish verbs with meaning ‘up’ / ‘down’ were selected and their association was measured in corpus concordances with lexical units with ‘positive’ / ‘negative’ value (resp.), labeled by means of a polarity lexicon. The results indicate that such an association exists in 80% of the analyzed cases.

Availability, Quality, and Evidence-Based Content of mHealth Apps for the Treatment of Nonspecific Low Back Pain in the German Language: Systematic Assessment (Preprint)
Authors: Ulrich Lauro , Thies Phillip , Schwarz Annika
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) carries significant socioeconomic relevance and leads to substantial difficulties for those who are affected by it. The effectiveness of app-based treatments has been confirmed, and clinicians are recommended to use such interventions. As 88.8% of the German population uses smartphones, apps could support therapy. The available apps in mobile app stores are poorly regulated, and their quality can vary. Overviews of the availability and quality of mobile apps for Australia, Great Britain, and Spain have been compiled, but this has not yet been done for Germany.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to provide an overview of the availability and content-related quality of apps for the treatment of NSLBP in the German language.

METHODS

A systematic search for apps on iOS and Android was conducted on July 6, 2022, in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined before the search. Apps in the German language that were available in both stores were eligible. To check for evidence, the apps found were assessed using checklists based on the German national guideline for NSLBP and the British equivalent of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The quality of the apps was measured using the Mobile Application Rating Scale. To control potential inaccuracies, a second reviewer resurveyed the outcomes for 30% (3/8) of the apps and checked the inclusion and exclusion criteria for these apps. The outcomes, measured using the assessment tools, are presented in tables with descriptive statistics. Furthermore, the characteristics of the included apps were summarized.

RESULTS

In total, 8 apps were included for assessment. Features provided with different frequencies were exercise tracking of prefabricated or adaptable workout programs, educational aspects, artificial intelligence–based therapy or workout programs, and motion detection. All apps met some recommendations by the German national guideline and used forms of exercises as recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline. The mean value of items rated as “Yes” was 5.75 (SD 2.71) out of 16. The best-rated app received an answer of “Yes” for 11 items. The mean Mobile Application Rating Scale quality score was 3.61 (SD 0.55). The highest mean score was obtained in “Section B–Functionality” (mean 3.81, SD 0.54).

CONCLUSIONS

Available apps in the German language meet guideline recommendations and are mostly of acceptable or good quality. Their use as a therapy supplement could help promote the implementation of home-based exercise protocols. A new assessment tool to obtain ratings on apps for the treatment of NSLBP, combining aspects of quality and evidence-based best practices, could be useful.

Prevalence and Drivers of Drug Incompatibility, based on Hospital-wide Drug Prescription and Administration Data: A Retrospective Descriptive Study (Preprint)
Authors: Keum Nahyun , Yoo Junsang , Hur Sujeong , Shin Soo-Yong , Dykes Patricia , Kang Min-Jeoung , Lee Yong Seok , Cha Won Chul
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

Drug incompatibility, a major subset of medication errors, threatens patient safety during the medication administration phase. Despite the undeniably high prevalence of drug incompatibility, it is currently poorly understood because previous studies are focused predominantly on intensive care unit (ICU) settings. To enhance patient safety, it is crucial to expand our understanding of this issue from a comprehensive viewpoint.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and mechanism of drug incompatibility by analyzing hospital-wide prescription and administration data.

METHODS

This retrospective cross-sectional study, conducted at a tertiary academic hospital, included data extracted from the clinical data warehouse of the study institution on patients admitted between January 1, 2021, and May 31, 2021. Potential contacts in drug pairs (PCs) were identified using the study site clinical workflow. Drug incompatibility for each PC was determined by using a commercial drug incompatibility database (Trissel’s 2 IV Compatibility Database). Drivers of drug incompatibility were identified, based on a descriptive analysis, after which, multivariate logistic regression was conducted to assess the risk factors for experiencing one or more drug incompatibilities during admission.

RESULTS

Among 30,359 patients (representing 40,061 hospitalizations), 24,270 patients (32,912 hospitalizations) with 764,501 drug prescriptions (1,001,685 IV administrations) were analyzed, after checking for eligibility. Based on the rule for determining PCs, 5,813,794 cases of PCs were identified. Among these, 25,108 (0.4%) cases were incompatible PCs: 391 (1.6%) PCs occurred during the prescription process and 24,717 (98.4%) PCs during the administration process. By classifying these results, we identified the following drivers contributing to drug incompatibility: incorrect order factor; incorrect administration factor; and lack of related research. In multivariate analysis, the risk of encountering incompatible PCs was higher for patients who were male (odds ratio [OR] 1.532, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.399–1.678), older (OR 1.021, 95% CI 1.018–1.025), with longer lengths of stay (OR 1.020, 95% CI 1.016–1.025), with higher comorbidity (OR 1.075, 95% CI 1.030–1.122), and admitted to medical ICUs (OR 6.862, 95% CI 4.138–11.325).

CONCLUSIONS

We comprehensively described the current state of drug incompatibility by analyzing hospital-wide drug prescription and administration data. The results showed that drug incompatibility frequently occurs in clinical settings.

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

Medical history contributes approximately 80% to the diagnosis, although physical examinations and laboratory investigations increase a physician’s confidence in the medical diagnosis. The concept of artificial intelligence (AI] was first proposed more than 70 years ago. Recently, its role in various fields of medicine has grown remarkably. However, no studies have evaluated the importance of patient history in AI-assisted medical diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE

This study explored the contribution of patient history to AI-assisted medical diagnoses.

METHODS

Using 30 cases from clinical vignettes from the British Medical Journal, we evaluated the accuracy of diagnoses generated by the AI model ChatGPT. We compared the diagnoses made by ChatGPT based solely on the medical history with the correct diagnoses. We also compared the diagnoses made by ChatGPT after incorporating additional physical examination findings and laboratory data alongside the history with correct diagnoses.

RESULTS

ChatGPT accurately diagnosed 76.6% of the cases with the medical history alone, consistent with previous research targeting physicians. We also found that this rate was 93.3% when additional information was included.

CONCLUSIONS

Although adding additional information improves diagnostic accuracy, patient history remains a significant factor in AI-assisted medical diagnosis. Thus, when utilizing AI in medical diagnosis, it is crucial to include pertinent and correct patient histories for an accurate diagnosis. Our findings emphasize the continued significance of patient history in clinical diagnoses in this age and highlight the need for its integration into AI-assisted medical diagnosis systems.

EXPLORING THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF FOOTBALL COACHING BY A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL COACH: TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENGLISH PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES FOR SPORTS
Authors: Nishijo Masaki
Published: September 2023

Globalization has had a significant impact on the field of sports. In Japan, an increasing number of football coaches are looking overseas for career opportunities; however, they face numerous obstacles when attempting to accomplish their goals, including language barriers, cultural adaptation, and competition-specific misalignments. This study aimed to develop language teaching materials specifically designed for football coaches interested in pursuing professional careers abroad in the future. For this purpose, this study conducted a preliminary investigation of how a Japanese football coach interacted in English with players in an academy team of an Australian professional football club. The coaching behavior was analyzed using a qualitative data analysis method called the modified grounded theory approach (M-GTA). The results revealed the coach’s training process, which began with an explanation of the purpose and procedure of the training, followed by feedback on the training and temporarily suspending the training to correct the players’ errors. The coach’s unique technique involved using repeated initiation, response, evaluation, and clarification (IRE-C) interactions with the players, primarily questioning them to elicit consideration of methods to enhance their performance, followed by gentle guidance toward a solution.The findings had several pedagogical implications. First, the repeated generic structure and linguistic features identified in the coaching process could form foundational resources for developing ESP materials. Second, rich contextual information surrounding the obtained linguistic data, such as the coach’s mindset and coaching philosophy, could reveal how language is used and help construct meaning in authentic football coaching situations.

Authors: García-Sánchez Soraya , Gimeno-Sanz Ana
Published: September 2023

This article reports on an empirical study analyzing the development and use of effective multimodal communication strategies to deliver a telecollaborative debate as the core activity for upper-intermediate learners of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) from two far afield Spanish universities, one located in Gran Canaria and the other in Valencia. The pedagogical project not only focused on preparing and conducting an online debate through telecollaboration, but also on developing communicative skills based on discussion, argumentation, justification, critical thinking and explanation using academic and scientific language. Through a pre-task and a post-task survey, the results highlight, on the one hand, that telecollaboration is an experiential approach for ESP learners that necessarily has to involve pragmatics within a well-organized debate scenario and, on the other, that this two-way collaborative task demonstrates that telecollaborative debates are an innovative and engaging means of exploring not just content but communication and performance strategies while simultaneously helping to increase multimodal communicative fluency in the foreign language. The findings also underline the fact that elements such as motivation and self-confidence are variables that influence the learners’ performance in both conducting the necessary research to adequately debate the given topic and seeking efficient multimodal communication strategies.

Authors: Nejković Valentina , Andrejević Dragana
Published: September 2023

Digital technologies have become a part of our everyday life, which has caused certain changes in the education system, which follow the achievements of modern technologies. Changing the way of presenting teaching content in relation to traditional teaching methods and adapting them to new generations is one of the important tasks of teachers. Also, the task of the teacher is to use in a creative way all the advantages that modern digital technologies bring in order to engage students and improve the learning process. Keeping students’ attention during class and engaging students is one of the biggest challenges for teachers today. Finding the right way to motivate students is a topic that has been very topical in recent years. E-learning applications, better known as clicker applications, help teachers motivate, maintain attention and engage students more in the classroom. An important and immediate benefit of using clickers is that it motivates all students to participate. The anonymity of the answers also encourages students to present their ideas without fear of what their peers might think, which further encourages their participation. This paper presents the research conducted at the Faculty of Electronics, University of Niš, Serbia, on the impact of the use of clicker tools in teaching on student performance on the exam, showing a moderate correlation. Greater activity in classes affects the better success of students in the exam.

Authors: Trubitzina Olga , Kubacheva Kabiyat , Baeva Tamara
Published: September 2023

The article deals with the issues of students’ motivation for foreign language learning in non-linguistic universities. Motivation is regarded as a factor giving focus to educational activities, dynamic character and determinant of its success. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of methods to improve students’ motivation in learning foreign languages and results of the research carried out at the medical university. During the research we studied students’ foreign language level: knowledge and skills, willingness to learn a professional foreign language with the use of an interview and a placement computer test. A survey of the 1st year students in order to find out the motives for learning foreign languages with the help of a special questionnaire developed by us was conducted. Such diagnostics made it possible to obtain information about students’ level of motivation in foreign language learning, their initial level of proficiency, and understanding the purpose of learning foreign languages. To improve students’ motivation a model of professional foreign language communicative competence development in e-learning environment was designed and introduced into the educational process of the medical university. The content-procedural module of the presented model includes technologies of foreign language virtual communication: e-mail, webinars, videoconferencing, an LMS Moodle. The authors believe that the students’ motivation in foreign language learning is associated with the prospective personality development, namely the formation and development of professional competencies, mastering new knowledge and skills, getting experience.
INFLUENCE OF PREDATORY JOURNALS ON THE PUBLISHING BEHAVIOR OF RESEARCHERS FROM COUNTRIES WITH A SHORT WESTERN-STYLE ACADEMIC PUBLISHING TRADITION. A LANGUAGE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Petrisor Alexandru-Ionut
Published: September 2023

Predatory journals are worthy studying because they threaten science by sparing resources and minimizing its perception. While these issues have been widely documented in the literature, the impact on the behavior of researchers has been less investigated. Western scholars, who can benefit culturally upon the experience of people more versed in publishing and take even courses in research writing, are not likely to be influenced by predatory publishers, unlike researchers from countries with a short academic publishing tradition. The present study addresses this latter influence, using a novel joint perspective, based on comparing examples from editorial experience with such authors and predatory calls, with a special attention to common attitudes and language elements, in order to test the hypothesis according to which behaviors and vocabulary strange to already established publishers are an effect of predatory practices. The analysis of examples is grouped around three topics: search for a fast and costly review; language showing exaggerate courtesy or lacking it completely; and a misunderstanding of the review process. Overall, the results sustain the hypothesis and, in addition, indicate that the awkward English of predatory publishers is taken as norm by authors from countries with a short academic publishing tradition. These findings urge the need for action against predatory publishers.
EMPOWERING TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TO COPE WITH THE STRESS OF ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING: FINDINGS FROM A PILOT PROJECT ON PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT IN THE LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION CLASSROOM
Authors: Kitanovska-Kimovska Sonja , Gjurchevska Atanasovska Katarina , Popovska Solzica , Cvetkoski Vladimir
Published: September 2023

In times of crisis, emergency education makes significant contributions to individuals and societies by providing a sense of normality (Johannes 2012). As teachers facilitate the learning process and are expected to support students emotionally, Muldong, Garcia & Gozum (2021) suggest that work-from-home teachers should be provided with psychosocial support to address the mental and emotional stress caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. El-Monshed, El-Adl, Ali and Loutfy (2021) and Carreon & Manansala (2021) suggest that educational institutions should also take measures to improve students’ mental health and academic performance and make it a priority in the current context.This paper reports the findings of a project on psychosocial support at Blaze Koneski Faculty in Skopje from March to June 2021 involving 15 language and translation teachers and 121 students. The teachers attended a series of workshops guided by a trained clinical psychologist. The workshops aimed at providing immediate psychosocial assistance to teachers to cope with the stress of the pandemic, to sensitise teachers to the students’ needs in an emerging crisis and to empower them to employ new ways of student engagement in the online classroom. The training concept was based on the assumption that one’s self-care and well-being are prerequisites for one to be able to care about others (in this context the students).The teachers tested various methods at two levels of classroom communication. They engaged in informal communication and introduced well-being techniques to create a relaxing class atmosphere and to facilitate the learning process. They also involved students in participative activities to help them take hold of their learning. Teacher and student feedback has been positive and points to the encouraging effect of this approach in the online environment and beyond it. It shows that the modern translation classroom, be it physical or virtual, requires giving students an active voice and a sense of control over their learning. It also shows that moving away from adhering to technical material to enrich the curriculum with topics and methods that address well-being and mental health is beneficial.
INCORPORATING CRUCIAL TRANSFERRABLE LIFE-LONG SKILLS IN AN UNDERGRADUATE ADVANCED ENGLISH COURSE AT SOUTH EAST EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY
Authors: Marjanovikj-Apostolovski Marijana
Published: September 2023

This paper gives an insight into the practical experience of designing and implementing an Advanced English course offered to first year undergraduate students from all Faculties at South East European University which included a research project as a grading component and resulted in an undergraduate student mock conference.  It elaborates on the rationale behind the need for incorporating crucial, transferable, life-long skills that students can put to an immediate use during their undergraduate studies, but also skills they can use long after graduating and leaving SEEU.  The paper also offers a detailed account of the practical day-to-day challenges faced by both language teachers and students. The peer- and self-evaluation completed at the end of the course reveal overlooked issues that require more attention, modifications and adaptations in the future. Along the way students were made aware of the importance of choosing the most appropriate research method, meticulously citing every source used, distinguishing between editing (as a process that begins as soon as one starts writing) and proofreading (as the activity left for the very end of the writing process when one double or even triple checks that everything is the way it should be before the research report is handed in), and avoiding plagiarism by summarising, paraphrasing and quoting. The Academic skills and research conference offered students practice in giving a well-structured presentation, whereas the follow-up self-evaluation helped them identify areas of possible improvements.Hopefully, thanks to this long and challenging, but also rewarding process, when asked to conduct research on a certain issue, present the results, draw conclusions and recommend a possible course of action or offer possible solutions, the students’ immediate reaction will be: “A-ha, No problem! Been there-done that! I know exactly what I am supposed to do, and I know how to do it!”

Published: September 2023

Abstract: Tranexamic acid is a synthetic lysine derivative that inhibits the lysine binding sites on plasminogen molecules in order to have an antifibrinolytic action. In patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, tranexamic acid was related to mortality decreases of 5 to 54% when compared to placebo. A 40% reduction was found by meta-analysis. Tranexamic acid therapy reduced mean menstrual blood loss in menstruating women with menorrhagia by 34 to 57.9% in comparison to placebo or control; the medication has also been successfully used to treat placental bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, and cervix conization. In hemophiliac patients undergoing oral surgery, tranexamic acid considerably decreased mean blood losses, and it worked well as a mouthwash for dental patients taking oral anticoagulants. With the administration of the medication, blood loss was also decreased in patients having orthotopic liver transplantation or transurethral prostate surgery, and rebleeding rates were decreased in patients with traumatic hyphaema. Patients with hereditary angioneurotic edema have also claimed clinical improvement from tranexamic acid. The most frequent adverse reactions to tranexamic acid are nausea and diarrhea. Clinical trials have not shown that the medication increases the risk of thrombosis

Published: September 2023

Ascites are the accumulation of fluid in the Abdomen. It happens due to clinical complications from various diseasesthat cause signs and symptoms. Cirrhosis, malignant ascites, and abdominal tuberculosis are the most common causes of ascites.The multiple etiologies of ascites make determining the cause difficult. Several techniques can aid in the differential diagnosis ofascites. However, the techniques are more expensive, invasive, and require more time. As a result, a less expensive and fastermethod of diagnosis, at least as a screening test, would greatly benefit clinicians. Albumin and Cholesterol in serum and ascitic fluidare parameters that would help screen and diagnose cancer. The serum-ascites albumin gradient or gap (SAAG) is a medicalcalculation that helps determine the cause of ascites. In addition, the serum ascites cholesterol gradient (SACG) aids in thedifferential diagnosis.The case study aims to evaluate the significance of serum-ascites cholesterol gradient (SACG) in diagnosingovarian carcinoma. This case report includes a 53-year-old woman who presented to the surgical department with anorexia,indigestion, heartburn, pain or discomfort in the abdominal and pelvic regions, nausea, early satiety, bloating, and weight loss for1 month. She was diagnosed with ovarian carcinoma. The gradients of serum-ascites albumin and serum-ascites Cholesterol werecalculated. Later, the results were compared to Ca-125, an ovarian cancer marker. SAAG showed low sensitivity but high specificityand poor diagnostic performance. Her diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma was confirmed and she was advised to follow up with theoncologist. The current case report will help understand the contribution of the ascitic fluid and serum parameters in a case ofovarian cancer with ascites of unknown etiology.

Na Introdução, discute-se como a Ciência da Administração se confundiu com uma visão empreendedora mercantil inviabilizando uma série de conhecimentos e experiências de gestão vinculadas a uma racionalidade não instrumental e a processos mais coletivos de criar e de produzir. Em seguida, propõe que as experiências de  gestão cultural vivenciadas especialmente por grupos populares podem oferecer referências importantes para a construção de uma contra-história da administração. Apresentando o contexto de realização do LabGestão – o Território de Identidade do Recôncavo e a UFRB – compartilha os fundamentos e os primeiros passos do projeto, bem como as ações em curso e as previstas no seu primeiro ciclo (2022-2024). Concluindo, o texto apresenta reflexões sobre os desafios da pesquisa-ação participante no campo cultural, defendendo a importância de se produzir conhecimentos para o campo da administração a partir de experiências que os grupos culturais, coletivos e instituições geram nos seus diferentes contextos, considerando os protagonistas dessas experiências como sujeitos da produção desse conhecimento

Este artigo pretende relatar a trajetória de construção da Superintendência de Saberes Tradicionais da UFRJ – SuperSaberes e, para isso, busca apresentar exemplos das aproximações da universidade com os saberes tradicionais e as culturas populares ao longo de sua história. Tendo sua origem ligada originalmente à formação superior que atendia a uma elite social e econômica, a UFRJ ao longo de sua trajetória foi se transformando impulsionada por movimentos sociais, políticos e epistemológicos diversos. Uma das conquistas de um desses movimentos foi a democratização do acesso através da implantação da Lei de Cotas, tornando as universidades públicas mais plurais e diversificadas, o que impulsionou mudanças substanciais nas políticas institucionais, em conteúdos, programas, ementas, referências, etc. Embora tardia em relação à implantação de políticas e ações relacionadas às cotas e à inclusão de saberes tradicionais na UFRJ, pretende-se apresentar os importantes passos construídos para a construção de um espaço institucional de gestão dos saberes tradicionais e das culturas populares na UFRJ, além de um panorama histórico das ações que auxiliaram a solidificar essa construção de diálogo entre os saberes acadêmicos, populares e tradicionais na UFRJ.

Abstract - Vocational High School or SMK is a secondary level of education taken after completing from junior high school/equivalent. SMK plays a significant part in the preparation of human resources. The final grades of the students are difficult for teachers to predict. This estimated final grade is necessary for the teacher to evaluate the quality of the instruction given. In order to ascertain the association between the variable daily average values and competency scores on the final grades in Computer and Basic Networks subjects, a data mining strategy was utilized in conjunction with the estimate method utilizing the multiple linear regression algorithm. The data used is value data for one semester with a total of 134. In order to increase the quality of learning in the event that the grade does not satisfy the completeness requirements, it is anticipated that the Multiple Linear Regression algorithm will be able to estimate the final grades that are likely to be achieved. To determine the scope of the fault discovered, the RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) is utilized.Abstrak – Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan atau SMK merupakan tingkatan pendidikan menengah yang ditempuh setelah lulus dari SMP atau Sekolah Menengah Pertama/sederajat.

Since 2019 Indonesia has had rapid development, especially in the digital industry, recorded at the 2020 World Economic Forum. Indonesia has 2,193 startup companies engaged in the digital field. It can also affect the ability of these companies to address existing or future digital problems. As is known, down or system failure in a server can cause losses in the company's economy. For a company the size of Facebook alone, it could suffer a loss of 99.75 million US Dollars. One of the causes of server failure is Overload Traffic and Request Cloud Environment caused by the large number of requests submitted to the server. Requests submitted to the server are recorded into 2 data, namely, CCU (Count Current User) and Traffic. In this study, the author uses the CDN and Private zone methods on Alibaba Cloud to share the server load so that there is no downtime or server failure caused by Overload Traffic and Request Cloud. It is hoped that this research can be helpful to networking engineers in overcoming Traffic Overload and Request Cloud, especially on Alibaba Cloud.

Globalization makes all developments so fast, one of the factors that makes developments develop rapidly is technology. Technology was created to facilitate the work of everyone who needs it, one of them in large and small businesses. In the case of Ono Celluler Stores where they carry out several business activities using manual methods, these activities include recording sales, stock management, and employee management. Some of the activities currently implemented by Ono Celluler make doing business too long and ineffective. Apart from several problems that occur, Ono Celluler has a weakness in the introduction of Ono Celluler itself. This will affect what Ono Celluler is. The purpose of this research is to make an application that is able to solve problems that occur in Ono Celluler, this application will have a searching algorithm to make it easier for application users to find what products are available on Ono Celluler and features to help users. The Ono Celluler application will also have an information system to manage and monitor the products available at the Ono Celluler Store, besides that there will be a send mail feature to send formal emails from Ono Celluler. Research conducted using the waterfall method concluded that Ono Cellular's business processes can be carried out efficiently, difficulties in finding products are resolved properly using the searching algorithm. And employees can carry out business processes that are more organized and more formal using SMTP.
