Developing Multi-Literacy Skills by Creating Graphic Story in Literature Class: A Project-Based Learning Approach
Authors: Hidayat Rahmad , Susanto Fajar
Published: July 2021

The research aims to develop multi-literacy skills by creating a literary graphic story as a creative and innovative way for English Department students in learning literature. By creating an adaptation from text to picture, students are expected to improve their ability to understand literary works and express their creative and innovative skills. This is a qualitative study implementing the Project-based Learning (PBL) approach in literature class, which aims to produce graphic stories as the output of studying literature. Students do not only understand the literary theories but also make something out of their understanding. The scaffolding instruction method was employed to examine practices of improving multiliteracy skills. A detailed action research plan, including preliminary observation in the classroom, action plan, intervention, and guiding, is applied. The investigation related to the barriers in doing the project is going to be conducted as well. Reader Response criticism is introduced to students in the reading and analyzing stage as a useful method to develop their critical thinking in evaluating the literary works they read. We argue that the students improve their reading skills, writing skills and producing graphic story stories based on their own interpretation of the literary text, which is proven by the summary and conversation texts they produce in the graphic stories. They also develop their creativity by producing images and pictures as the result of the literary adaptation process. There are two significant outcomes of the project: developing literary text understanding as well as producing the original graphic story.
A Study on the Communicative Competence of Indonesian Teachers at Bilingual Programs
Authors: Hartono Heny
Published: July 2021

Teaching with English as a medium of instruction can be challenging for teachers in non-English speaking countries including Indonesia. The use of English as the language of instruction has become a part of marketing strategies for private schools to get more students. Apart from the marketing issue, the quality of the teachers should be on the top priority. Are the teachers qualified to serve as teachers at bilingual programs?  Teachers’ communicative competence should add the general teaching competences of in-service teachers at bilingual programs. Unfortunately, schools hardly assess teachers’ communicative competence. This study aimed to find out the level of in-service teachers’ communicative competence and the correlation among the level of communicative competence aspects. This sequential explanatory study involved 82 in-service teachers who taught in English. The results of this study reveal that the subjects of this study were found in safe zone. It indicates that teachers of English speaking programs under this study can perform their tasks adequately although they cannot be called competent yet. From the Spearman correlational analysis, it was found out that the coefficient correlation was above 0.76 indicating a very strong correlation between communicative competence and its aspects and strong positive correlations among the communicative competence aspects. The results of this study provide valuable input of teachers’ communicative competence which can be further followed up with suitable trainings to improve teacher’s English competence.
Indonesian Students’ Negotiation of Identities through Language Use in England
Authors: Situmorang Komilie
Published: July 2021

Study abroad (SA) is a daunting process in which students who encounter cross-border face a whole new world. They go through positioning and being positioned by others. There is an on-going salient power asymmetry in their language use, which affects their desire to speak up and participate in the new community. This study aimed to scrutinize the ways Indonesian students negotiated their identities through their language use. Using open-ended questionnaires (OEQ)and semi-structured interviews, this study focused on 7 participants who were in the midst of the master’s degree program in England. The results indicated that the participants experienced the identities negotiation multifacetedly. Participants who exercised their agency and invested in their language use challenged the positioning attached to them. As a result, they constructed new identities and gained central participation in the local community. Meanwhile, participants who could not resist the power asymmetry withdrew and formed a more solid community with other international students. Lastly, some participants were also found to maintain their emotional security by not making any contact through their language use. Participants who resisted any contacts but with fellow home students interestingly developed an increased nationalism. Therefore, this article calls for the teachers’ attention and how to devise the English Language Teaching classroom better and program providers’ of how to provide the support for the SA students best.
Crouching Standards, Hidden Morals: A Choreographed National Rebuttal of Cosmopolitan Designs
Authors: Poruthiyil Prabhir Vishnu
Published: July 2021

This case describes a sequence of events which started from allegations by non-government organizations of violations in the production unit of a global  brand, and moved to (acrimonious) denials by the supplier and multinational  buyers, failed negotiations, court cases, and judgments that crossed national boundaries. In the end, these events drew politicians and diplomats unwillingly into its vortex. The study shows how corporate actors, working from within a particular national space, can mobilize financial and emotional resources to align regulatory apparatuses of the state in their defence. The case also shows how global actors can be left in a no man’s land if they remain unaware of alliances being forged within national boundaries under a convenient smokescreen created by the confusion of roles and responsibilities to which they themselves may have contributed.

Published: July 2021

A produção desigual das cidades surge como reflexo da atuação diferenciada de agentes produtores do espaço, cada qual interesses distintos. O reflexo disso, dentre outros, é distribuição diferenciada de equipamentos, como estabelecimentos de ensino. O objetivo deste artigo é a identificação de padrões locacionais de escolas públicas e privadas em Presidente Prudente e a relação com áreas classificadas de acordo com rendimentos. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram o levantamento locacional das escolas públicas e privadas, extraídos da SEDUC, e classificação de áreas de acordo com rendimentos mensais, informação coletada no IBGE – censo de 2010. As escolas públicas possuem uma distribuição pulverizada na cidade, as escolas privadas situam-se concentradas em poucas áreas, principalmente aquelas nas quais os citadinos possuem rendimentos maiores.
Safety of surgical tracheostomy under continued antithrombotic therapy
Authors: Sugaya Takayuki , Ueha Rumi , Sato Taku , Goto Takao , Yamauchi Akihito , Yamasoba Tatsuya
Published: July 2021

Abstract Objective: Although various guidelines have been established
for the management of antithrombotic therapy during surgical treatments,
surgical tracheostomy (ST) under continued antithrombotic therapy (CAT)
remains a challenge. We investigated the risk factors for complications
after ST by focusing on CAT use during ST. Method: Patients’ medical
records from 2009 to 2020 were reviewed in this retrospective study. We
selected patients who underwent ST at the Department of Otolaryngology
of the University of Tokyo Hospital. Patient demographics,
complications, and blood test values were recorded and statistically
analyzed to identify the risk factors for postoperative complications.
Results: We identified 288 patients (median age: 64 years; 184 men
[64%]), among whom 40 (median age: 67 years; 29 men [73%])
underwent CAT. Although the patients undergoing CAT had significantly
higher values of activated partial thromboplastin time (p = 0.002) and
prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (p = 0.006) than those
of antithrombotic naïve patients, no statistically significant
intergroup differences were observed in the risks of bleeding,
infection, or subcutaneous emphysema. Instead, ST under local anesthesia
(p = 0.01) and ST for airway emergency (p = 0.02) significantly
increased the risk of early postoperative complications. Conclusion: The
results of the present study suggest that ST under CAT can be safely
performed without any increased risk of postoperative complications.
Nevertheless, surgeons should be extra cautious about early
complications after ST under local anesthesia without intubation or ST
for airway emergency. Key points: 1. We aimed to investigate the risk
factors for complications after ST by focusing on CAT use during ST. 2.
Patients undergoing CAT had significantly higher values of APTT and
PT-INR than those of antithrombotic naïve patients. 3. ST under CAT can
be safely performed without any increased risk of postoperative
complications. 4. ST under local anesthesia and airway emergency was a
risk factor for complications after ST. 5. Among the complications,
subcutaneous emphysema was significantly more frequent in ST under local
anesthesia and under airway emergency.

Auditory brainstem response prior to MRI compared to standalone MRI in the detection of vestibular schwannoma: a modelling study
Authors: Wijn Stan , Hentschel Mayke , Beynon Andy , Kunst Henricus , Rovers Maroeska
Published: July 2021

Objectives: To determine the cost-effectiveness of auditory brainstem
response prior to MRI (ABR-MRI) compared to standalone MRI to diagnose
vestibular schwannoma. Design: A state transition decision-analytic
model was developed to simulate costs and effects (quality-adjusted life
years) for both treatment strategies for patients suspected of a
vestibular schwannoma. Model input was derived from literature, hospital
databases, and expert opinions. Scenario and sensitivity analyses
addressed model uncertainty. Results: Over a lifetime horizon, ABR-MRI
resulted in a limited cost-saving of \euro68 or
\euro98 per patient (dependent on MRI sequence) and a
health loss of 0.005 QALYs over standalone MRI. ABR-MRI, however, did
miss patients with other important pathology (2% of the population)
that would have been detected when using standalone MRI. Calculating the
incremental cost-effectiveness ratio resulted in
\euro14,203 or \euro19,550 saved per lost
QALY if ABR-MRI was used instead of standalone MRI. The results were
sensitive to the detection rate of vestibular schwannoma and
health-related quality of life of missed patients. Conclusion: The
cost-saving with ABR-MRI does not seem to outweigh the number of missed
patients with VS and other important pathologies that would have been
detected when using standalone MRI.

Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 on Respiratory Surveillance and Explanation of High Detection Rate of Human Rhinovirus During the Pandemic in the Republic of Korea
Authors: Kim Heui Man , Lee Eun Jung , Lee Nam-Joo , Woo Sang heui , Kim Jeong-Min , Rhee Jee Eun , Kim Eun-Jin
Published: July 2021

Background: After the detection of the first case of coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) in South Korea on January 20, 2019, it has triggered
three major outbreaks. To decrease the disease burden of COVID-19,
social distancing and active mask wearing were encouraged, reducing the
number of patients with influenza-like illness and altering the
detection rate of influenza and respiratory viruses in the Korea
Influenza and Respiratory Viruses Surveillance System (KINRESS). We
examined the changes in respiratory viruses due to COVID-19 in South
Korea and virological causes of the high detection rate of human
rhinovirus (hRV) in 2020. Methods: We collected 52,684 oropharyngeal or
nasopharyngeal swab samples from patients with influenza-like illness in
cooperation with KINRESS from 2016 to 2020. Influenza virus and other
respiratory viruses were confirmed using real-time RT-PCR. The weekly
detection rate was used to compare virus detection patterns. Results:
Non-enveloped virus (hRV, human bocavirus, and human adenovirus)
detection rates during the COVID-19 pandemic were maintained. The
detection rate of hRV significantly increased in 2020 compared with that
in 2019 and was negatively correlated with number of COVID-19-confirmed
cases in 2020. The distribution of strains and genetic characteristics
in hRV did not differ between 2019 and 2020. Conclusions: The extremely
low detection rate of enveloped viruses resulted from efforts to prevent
the spread of COVID-19 in South Korea. The high detection rate of hRV
may be related to resistance against environmental conditions as a
non-enveloped virus and the long period of viral shedding from patients.
TAXATION OF AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY IN POLAND: THE CURRENT STATE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Authors: Podstawka Marian , Podstawka Łukasz
Published: July 2021

This study is a response to an ongoing debate on changes in the taxation of agricultural income. The current taxes applicable to farms in Poland do not concern income per se – they are property taxes which include: agricultural tax on land, forestry tax and property tax. Although these taxes do not refer to agricultural income, they are paid by it. It is important, therefore, to know how much this income is reduced by these taxes. Studies show that it is about 10%. Therefore, when a new income tax structure is introduced, its rate should not exceed 10%. The calculation of farm income in Poland will encounter many problems, such as establishing a catalogue of costs, which will include depreciation. In order to include it when calculating income, the present value of a farm’s fixed assets should first be established, which may encounter major substantive and organizational difficulties. More problems will surely follow, such as: dividing costs between household and agricultural holding, determining what a fixed asset is in the case of a farm, etc. It seems that calculating farm income is unavoidable. On the one hand, it is necessary for the potential introduction of income tax. On the other hand, having recognized the income situation of farms, one could resign from estimating losses caused by drought or other unfortunate events. Compensation could be granted due to income losses. This would be a clearer, more obvious and objective criterion. According to current practices, losses caused by unfortunate events (e.g. drought) do not always translate into losses in agricultural income, given that these losses are not always objectively estimated by the committees appointed by provincial governors. In the case of income losses, agricultural accounting data guarantee their objective appraisal. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the current situation regarding the taxation of agricultural activity and to present proposals for potential changes in the taxation of agricultural activity. Two research hypotheses were put forward: 1. the current level of taxation of income and revenue from agricultural activity with agricultural tax and property tax is symbolic, 2. in order to maintain the current tax treatment, the rate of the new tax on farm income cannot be higher than 10%. The article is based on descriptive, tabular and financial analysis methods. The sources of information were literature and FADN agricultural accounting data collected by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute in Warsaw.

MODERNISASI SAINS MENUJU PSIKOLOGI: STUDI ATAS PENGARUH PEMIKIRAN RENE DESCARTES (1596-1650) TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN PSIKOLOGI
Authors: Sairah Abdul Rokhmat
Published: July 2021

Psikologi ilmiah dewasa ini cenderung bersifat positivistik. Dominasi kaum behavioris pada beberapa dekade dalam fase perkembangan psikologi telah mereduksi makna disiplin ini. Psikologi seakan mengalami perubahan arah dalam perkembangannya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sebuah kajian untuk memahami hakekat psikologi. Langkah yang dapat ditempuh ialah dengan melacak kembali persoalan pokok dalam psikologi. Salah satu persoalan utama dalam psikologi adalah hubungan antara perilaku dan keadaan mental yang dalam sejarah pemikiran dicetuskan oleh Rene Descartes (1596-1650). Ia dipandang sebagai pionir sains modern karena meletakkan dasar-dasar penyelidikan ilmiah yang pada gilirannya berpengaruh dalam pengembangan psikologi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap latar belakang historis psikologi dalam pemikiran Rene Descartes. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kepustakaan dengan menggunakan metode analisis hermeneutik kefilsafatan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan melacak kembali pemikiran Rene Descartes pada abad ke-17 M. Data berupa pemikiran Descates kemudian dianalisis melalui pemahaman secara kontekstual terhadap karakteristik psikologi saat ini. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan unsur-unsur pemikiran Rene Descartes yang berpengaruh dalam perkembangan psikologi antara lain konsep hubungan tubuh-pikiran, prinsip mekanisme dalam teori ’animal machine’, dan fungsi-fungsi mental dalam diri manusia. Hal itu membuktikan bahwa kajian psikologi tidak melulu terbatas hanya pada perilaku manusia yang dapat diamati melalui observasi tetapi juga wilayah proses mental.
PEMIKIRAN FOUCAULT DAN BARON: KEKUASAAN DAN PENGETAHUAN DALAM PENDIDIKAN DAN BAHASA
Authors: Pratama Refaldi Andika
Published: July 2021

Artikel ini membahas mengenai pemikiran yang diajukan oleh dua toloh filsuf yang berbeda, yakni Foucault tentang kekuasaannya dan juga Baron tentang kuasa pengetahuannya. Menggabungkan pemikiran kedua tokoh filsuf tersebut dapat ditarik korelasi antara bagaimana sebuah kuasa mampu mendefinisikan ilmu pengetahuan dan juga bagaimana ilmu pengetahuan mendatangkan kekuasaan. Artikel ini berfokus pada bagaimana pemikiran ala dua tokoh tersebut dapat terbentuk dan bagaimana wujudnya serta dengan contoh kasus pada bidang pendidikan khususnya sejarah dan juga ilmu kebahasaan. Mempelajari filsafat dapat merumuskan bagaimana kekuasaan dan ilmu pengetahuan dapat dikaji begitu pula dengan artikel ini yang berusaha untuk mengkaji antara ilmu pengetahuan, bahasa, dan bagaimana sebuah kuasa mengekang kedua hal tersebut.

Published: July 2021

Pada hakikatnya, manusia akan selalu berusaha meningkatkan ilmu pengetahuan yang dimilikinya. Hal ini dilakukan karena dengan pengetahuan akan menimbulkan kepuasan tersendiri sesuai tuntutan zaman. Tidak hanya sebatas pengetahuan semata, tetapi lebih kepada pengetahuan dan kebenarannya. Mempelajari segala sesuatu dengan ilmu, pada dasarnya merupakan upaya yang dilakukan manusia untuk mendapatkan suatu kebenaran. Kebenaran merupakan keadaan dimana sesuatu sesuai dengan objek yang sesungguhnya. Dengan demikian, mempelajari sesuatu hal melalui pengetahuan (filsafat) merupakan sebuah lankah untuk mendapatkan pengetahuan yang benar dan objektif. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui hakikat filsafat sebagai landasan ilmu dalam pengembangan sains. Kebenaran merupakan inti dari filsafat menjadi pijakan atau landasan bagi setiap ilmu pengetahuan. Seperti ilmu fisika pada awalnya adalah filsafat alam, ilmu ekonomi yang mulanya adalah filsafat moral. IPA atau sains yang di dalamnya meliputi fisika, kimia, biologi menggunakan langkah ilmiah, berfikir ilmiah, dan menggunakan kerangka-kerangka ilmiah. Dari sinilah filsafat sains digunakan untuk mempelajari, mengungkap, dan menyelesaikan permasalahan sains bagi kehidupan manusia. Penelitian ini membahas perihal keharusan seorang ilmuan dalam mengembangkan sains agar; 1) menguasai pengetahuan dasar tentang sains sebagai ilmu penegetahuan bidang garapannya, 2) memahami keterkaitan ilmu sains dengan ilmu-ilmu yang lain, 3). memahami dengan sepenuhnya bahwa sikap ilmiah merupakan komponen dalam sains yang harus dipatuhi

Soil properties may be varied by spatially and temporally with different agricultural practices. An accurate and reliable soil properties assessment is challenging issue in soil analysis. The soil properties assessment is very important for understanding the soil properties, nutrient management, influence of fertilizers and relation between soil properties which are affecting the plant growth. Conventional laboratory methods used to analyses soil properties are generally impractical because they are time-consuming, expensive and sometimes imprecise. On other hand, Visible and infrared spectroscopy can effectively characterize soil. Spectroscopic measurements are rapid, precise and inexpensive. Soil spectroscopy has shown to be a fast, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, non-destructive, reproducible and repeatable analytical technique. In the present research, we use spectroscopy techniques for soil properties analysis. The spectra of agglomerated farming soils were acquired by the ASD Field spec 4 spectroradiometer. Different fertilizers treatment applied soil samples are collected in pre monsoon and post monsoon season for 2 year (4 season) for banana and cotton crops in the form of DS-I and DS-II respectively. The soil spectra of VNIR region were preprocessed to get pure spectra. Then process the acquired spectral data by statistical methods for quantitative analysis of soil properties. The detected soil properties were carbon, Nitrogen, soil organic matter, pH, phosphorus, potassium, moisture sand, silt and clay. Soil pH is most important chemical properties that describe the relative acidity or alkalinity of the soil. It directly effect on plant growth and other soil properties. The relationship between pH properties on soil physical and chemical parameters and their influence were analyses by using linear regression model and show the performance of regression model with R2 and RMSE.

Condom use in deaf young people from Mexico City: what they know and how they use it
Authors: Robles-Montijo Silvia Susana , Pérez-Bautista Yuma Yoaly
Published: July 2021

Background: In studies carried out with young people without hearing impairment, the problem of considering the report of condom use as a preventive behavior is evidenced, since this by itself is not an indicator of its correct use. Objective: To evaluate the level of knowledge that deaf young people have about how to use a condom, the frequency with which they use it and the mistakes they make when using it, as well as exploring the relationship between these variables and the differences depending on the sex of the participants. Method: The Computerized Questionnaire on Sexual Health for Young Mexicans with Hearing Disabilities was used to evaluate, in a sample of 57 young Mexican deaf people (32 men and 25 women with an average age of 20.02 years), their sexual behavior, the level of knowledge on the correct use of condoms and the frequency of mistakes they make when using it during sex. Results: The main findings show that young people start their sexual life at an early age (17 years on average), have sex without using a condom, do not have adequate knowledge about how to use a condom, and those who reported using it made mistakes that were associated with breakage and slippage. Only in men was the level of knowledge negatively correlated with lifetime condom use (r=-.530, p=.002), and this, in turn, was positively correlated with frequency of failures (r=.466, p=.008). Conclusion: The study shows that young deaf people are unaware of how to use a condom and make mistakes when using it during sex, which places them in a vulnerable situation to STIs and unwanted pregnancies. The study provides evidence that highlights the need to direct efforts towards the design of training programs in the correct use of condoms for this population.

Authors:   The Academy of Applied Technical Studies Belgrade, Belgrade Polytechnic College, Popović Ana , Rusmirović Jelena , Đolić Maja , Veličković Zlate , Marinković Aleksandar
Published: July 2021

Research goal of this paper represents a novel method of synthesis of an amino-modified, highly effective natural polymer adsorbent kraft lignin based, functionalized with magnetite nanoparticles, for effective removal of chromate anions from water solution. Amino-modified lignin microspheres (LMS-NM) were synthesized via inverse suspension copolymerization of kraft lignin with poly(ethylene imine) grafting-agent and epichlorohydrin cross-linker. The porous structure of the synthesized adsorbent was formed using a 5.0 wt.% sodium-alginate solution. Additional efficiency in the removal of chromium anions from water was achieved by functionalization of lignin microspheres with magnetite (NM) nanoparticles obtained by co-precipitation and additional introduction of amino groups. Structure of formed LMS-NM was confirmed via Furrier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Optical microscopy analyses showed the creation of sphere-shaped materials and showed the diameter of prepared LMS-NM in the range of 500 to 800 µm. The removal of chromate anions from water solution was performed in a batch system. The result confirmed high adsorption efficiency and potential application of this nature-based adsorbent for heavy metal anions removal. This work was supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, as part of the following projects: 451-03-9/2021-14/200325 and 451-03-9/2021-14/200135, with the contribution of the COST Action CA17128.

Etos Kerja Kristen dan Budaya Mapalus sebagai Perberdayaan Ekonomi Gereja di Minahasa
Authors: Lolangion Feldy
Published: July 2021

This study aims to understand and provide solutions to poverty problems in the Minahasa area, especially the Protestant church in Minahasa. The problem that appears is the lack of the church in carrying out economic empowerment. On the other hand, the Mapalus culture which is the philosophy of the Minahasa people has begun to be displaced by the times. This makes researchers interested in researching Christian Work Ethics and Mapalus culture as economic empowerment for the church in Minahasa. By using sociological and economic studies, the researcher uses classic theory from Max Weber about The Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism, and Adam Smith about The Wealth of Nations. To address and examine this problem, this study uses qualitative research, using literature study. Data were collected through literature, references, and articles related to the Protestant work ethic, the Minahasa work ethic, and the spirit of capitalism. Capitalism that is meant by researchers is positive capitalism, where capitalism is running straight with the work ethic of Christians. On the other hand, Minahasa, as a research locus, has a work ethic called Mapalus. Although there are differences between the two work ethics, both can enrich the understanding and morals of church members in Minahasa in carrying out economic empowerment.
Pengalaman Perjumpaan Kebudayaan Jawa dan Flores Di Bagorejo Banyuwangi-Jawa Timur Dan Pentingnya Pendidikan Multikultural
Authors: Adon Mathias Jebaru
Published: July 2021

The focus of this writing study aims to share a reflection of the experience of encounters between Javanese culture and Manggarai culture in Bagorejo Banyuwangi, East Java. The experience of this encounter reminds the author of the importance of multicultural education in Indonesia. As a pluralistic nation, encounters with other cultures cannot be avoided. On the one hand, the encounter enriches one another. However, on the other hand, the encounter caused a lot of conflict because of different perceptions and views. Based on this, it is very necessary to have a multicultural education system that starts from the elementary school level through learning and the introduction of other cultures. Through an education system like this, the authors found that to overcome attitudes of intolerance and radicalism that often occur in the country, an adequate multicultural understanding is needed. One of them is through multicultural learning which can be carried out with the Live-In program like the author did.

Punk: Pengamen Jalanan dan Sebuah Subkultur Dari Kehidupan Urban di Kota Medan
Authors: Suharyanto Agung
Published: July 2021

This article aims to describe street children Punk in the life patterns of the people of Medan City. Medan city is one of the things that cannot be separated from the life pattern of street singers. This means that the life of street singers has become part of the overall life of the people of Medan City. Don't know who started it, now there are so many Punk communities scattered at the crossroads, living in groups while busking. Their identity is very different from other street singers, both in terms of clothes, hairstyles and body piercing as well as tattoos on several parts of the body. All things that are very different from the identity of the other buskers whose taste is also piling up. What makes the other street singers the same is that their songs and music are no different, which are trending and melancholy. They also use the media of music to create space for themselves to speak out. Music is used as a tool to empower himself. Apart from looking for food, playing music is also a tool to build solidarity. On certain occasions they played music together. So, you could say, young people in Medan who are singing on the streets and wearing all-Punk make-up in Indonesia are very likely inspired by something very different from their predecessor Punk generation in their home country.

This article claims that many elements of the new pedagogy were already tried and proposed in Jewish tradition, by the sages who lived in Israel and Babylonia from 2nd BC-6th AD centuries. This paper discusses the pedagogy of the sages and shows how they preceded their times, for instance on issues such as the teacher’s status and role, centering on the student, teaching critical thinking, peer teaching, cooperative learning, intellectual integrity, equality, apprenticeship, personal attention, the academic climate, and even the “flipped classroom”. This article shall inspect several modern approaches customary at present, with a view of the traditional past.
La vivienda de patios como patrimonio urbano constitutivo de la identidad regional latinoamericana
Authors: Carmignani Mara Gabriela
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo expone reflexiones acerca del estudio de la vivienda en Latinoamérica y de cómo desde el enfoque académico se propone su apreciación crítica para una posterior transferencia del conocimiento en el proceso de diseño propio de cada alumno. Se aborda así el análisis de la tipología residencial, entendida como un hecho antropológico, mediante la identificación y selección de manifestaciones de la vivienda hispanoamericana de patios existentes en Argentina y a lo largo del continente, las cuales corroboran desde el diseño una correlación directa de identidades regionales que se encuentran en constante construcción.
aporte de la historia y teoría del diseño al taller de diseño industrial
Authors: Ortiz Juan Cecilio , Supisiche María Clara , Savogin Gonzalo
Published: July 2021

En el presente artículo de investigación se plantean, desde una mirada teórico-práctica, las dificultades que se vislumbran en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la historia y teoría del diseño industrial, referidas al proceso proyectual realizado en los talleres de diseño industrial de la universidad a la que pertenece este equipo de investigación, la Universidad Católica de Santa Fe.

Se tiene la convicción de que en la formación del diseñador industrial el conocimiento de disciplinas como las mencionadas ut supra son vitales para el adecuado ejercicio profesional, ya que les proporcionan competencias que les permiten percibir, concebir y delinear proyectos de objetos más acabados, como simulacro de la actuación profesional futura.

El propósito esencial de este trabajo de investigación es propiciar la comprensión e internalización de las variables del proyecto de Diseño Industrial, entendiendo a la historia y a la teoría del diseño como un conjunto de conocimientos considerados como insumos[1] para el desarrollo, argumentación y realización del proyecto de diseño.

[1] Insumo en el sentido operativo, que mediante la reflexión y la crítica de los fenómenos de la historia y la teoría aporta criterios proyectuales.
Valorar lo patrimoniable: hábitat popular y patrimonio cultural
Authors: Fracasso Liliana , Mesa García Sandra C.
Published: July 2021

En el debate internacional rigen tres direcciones principales que orientan los criterios de valoración y valorización del patrimonio cultural mundial: la estética y la propagación de categorías de bienes patrimoniales; el significado identitario para la recuperación de una concepción unitaria del patrimonio cultural, a menudo improbable; y finalmente, el valor mercantil del patrimonio cultural, aprovechado principalmente en los circuitos turísticos. Este artículo de reflexión argumenta la importancia de considerar la pertinencia de una cuarta dirección del patrimonio cultural, que podría emprenderse en la política pública nacional para armonizar las otras tres y acercarlas a la realidad urbana y al mundo ordinario en Colombia. Se propone la dirección de lo patrimoniable, cuya valoración nace desde abajo hacia arriba y difiere de otras lógicas interesadas en las cantidades calculadas con base en flujos turísticos o la normativización de estándares. Lo patrimoniable emerge de las prácticas, sociales, estéticas, artísticas, y adquiere significado in situ a partir de procesos participativos y colaborativos. La propuesta se encamina hacia la construcción de un sistema axiológico complejo, que parte de indicadores cualitativos y datos empíricos considerados como valor de contexto y enunciados de subjetivación social y política.

Animals, foods, and household items—oh my! Evidence of 24-30-month-old children’s increasing flexibility in word learning from naturalistic data
Authors: Russell Emily E. , Doerfel Mariel Kyger
Published: July 2021

At 18 months of age, children frequently generalize (and overgeneralize) novel objects’ labels by shape (Landau et al., 1988). However, data from laboratory studies using ostensive word-learning paradigms indicate that, by three years of age, children generalize the labels of novel objects depending on the objects’ perceptual characteristics and taxonomy (Lavin & Hall, 2001; Jones et al., 1991). The current study sought to document this shift in children’s word-learning strategies using naturalistic data. We tracked children’s vocabularies over a six-month period of time (between 24-30 months of age) and classified their known words according to perceptual organization of the object categories to which they refer (e.g., shape-based, material-based). Children’s vocabulary sizes and rates of growth varied in meaningful ways between types of object categories and between the superordinate categories (e.g., animals, toys) to which the object categories belong. Findings carry implications for two popular accounts of vocabulary acquisition.
Using video as a form of artistic communication: preparing for undergraduate assessment in Initial Teacher Education (ITE)
Authors: Dockerty Kelly
Published: July 2021

In a fast-evolving Higher Education (HE) landscape amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for a Lecturer in Education to be dynamic and innovative with assessment pedagogy is no longer a desired skill but mandatory. In response to the demand from students as consumers and other key stakeholders, our innovative and somewhat artistic license in the learning context. At the student-facing edge of HE, Lecturers react to the ever-changing landscape with dynamism to positively impact the student experience. These continued efforts to provide the best student experience, enables HE institutions to remain competitive with Initial Teacher Education (ITE) provision as part of a cutthroat consumer driven marketplace. This article will present how video as a form of artistic communication supported year one ITE students to make sense of institutional assessment methods. Qualitatively, this research was focused on student perceptions gathered through a questionnaire. Student accounts expressed overwhelmingly that the use of video as a form of communication was easier to understand than written formats. The article concludes that to support a diverse student population at a distance and online, a choice of artistic assessment formats including video should be provided. The evidence herein shows that both student understanding and outcomes of assessment were statistically improved and that the format itself facilitated a willingness to engage online in a purposeful way with assessment. Students also repeatedly revisit assessment materials embedded in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
Bricks and bombast: U.S. presidential economic cheerleading in response to the housing market
Authors: Olds Christopher
Published: July 2021

There is a long-standing discussion in the academic literature on whether presidential rhetoric mirrors or guides conditions in the sociopolitical environment. Scholars like Canes-Wrone (2001) and Edwards (2009) believe responsive presidential rhetoric that reflects what is happening in the sociopolitical environment is more likely to resonate with the public. This paper assesses whether presidents will heighten the usage of cheerleading rhetoric about the economy that uses a positive tone in response to changes in the housing market. The time series analyses of information available between 1963 to 2005 indicate presidents increase economic cheerleading in response to positive changes in the housing market.
