Published: June 2023

Propõe-se neste ensaio analisar as principais convergências entre a metodologia de ensino Sequência Fedathi e Taxonomia de Bloom, no domínio dos objetivos cognitivos. O referencial teórico está pautado em estabelecer um quadro comparativo da Taxonomia de Bloom, que é uma teoria que estuda o processo de aprendizagem através de objetivos educacionais apoiados em três áreas do domínio psicológico: o afetivo, o psicomotor e o cognitivo. Este último é o que vai ser analisado neste trabalho e seus domínios são conhecimento, análise, aplicação, criação ou síntese, e avaliação originalmente; e a metodologia de ensino denominada Sequência Fedathi, definida como uma metodologia de ensino que estuda a postura de um professor quando este trabalha os conceitos dessa área com seus alunos, tornando-os participantes diretos e ativos da construção do conhecimento que está sendo aprendido e explorado. Suas etapas são: tomada de posição, maturação, solução e prova. Os  resultados aproximativos de ambos campos de conhecimento didático foram que as categorias do domínio cognitivo da Taxonomia de Bloom e as etapas da Sequência Fedathi estão interligadas, de forma que: a etapa tomada de posição está ligada diretamente ao domínio cognitivo conhecimento; a etapa maturação está ligada diretamente aos domínios análise e aplicação; a etapa solução está ligada diretamente aos domínios criação ou síntese; e, por fim, a etapa prova está ligada diretamente ao domínio avaliação. As principais conclusões foram que as duas teorias podem ser fusionadas ou incorporadas no planejamento e prática didática em qualquer disciplina curricular e modalidade de ensino, pois quando ambas confluem em abordagem metodológica favorecem e potencializam a prática pedagógica com benefícios tanto quanto no ensino quanto na aprendizagem.

The concept of landscape in geography: from its genesis to the classroom
Authors: De Montes Fábio Vieira , Diniz Simone Ferreira
Published: June 2023

The landscape is configured as a present and essential object for the human being in its geographical location, however this concept is not explored in its entirety, including in the spaces of learning. Thus, in general, the landscape is attributed only the synonym of visual appeal with superficial characteristics associated with structures that pleases the patterns of natural beauty. In this work we highlight the landscape as a visual representation of the structure of the socio-environmental space. As methodology, we applied a theoretical-qualitative analysis of bibliographic and documentary nature, investigating articles, books and normative documents, from the perspective of authors such as Ab'Sáber (2003), Freire (2021), Santos (2008), Serpa (2021), probing the epistemological aspects and the process of formation of the concept of landscape, as well as analyzing how the operationalization of this concept in basic education takes place, which developed tied to human actions until it was systematized together with geographic science. We investigated some teaching materials in order to verify how the concept of landscape is approached in school books and how the contents are distribution. We analyze the documents that govern basic education and its guidelines, pointing out possible negligence regarding landscape and geography teaching, as well as the positive aspects. We formulated critical analysis linked to orientations, suggestions and clarifications about the concept in question, focusing on pedagogical didactic practices, on the dynamics of the classroom with the use of the landscape in the methodological theoretical contribution in geography classes, seeking to contribute to the expansion and development of geographic knowledge.

Published: June 2023

The incidence of cesarean section (CS) continues to increase from year to year, pregnant women choose cesarean Section not because there are medical indications but because of fear of normal delivery. Interventions are needed to reduce the incidence of CS. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-post control group design was used, the sample used was pregnant women in the second trimester with a gestational age of 18-20 weeks with a sample distribution of 30 intervention groups and 30 control groups, using paired t-test, independent t-test and Chi-square. In the intervention group and control group, the highest percentage for the characteristics of respondents, age 20-35 years, higher education, work and the majority ethnicity in this study is Balinese, there is a significant difference in knowledge between the intervention group and the control group with a value (p = 0.000), there is a significant difference in attitude between the intervention group and the control group with a value (p = 0.000) and the intervention can reduce the incidence of CS by 37.6% with a value of p = 0.001. Interventions with education based-application and prenatal yoga can increase knowledge,and attitudes are effective in reducing the incidence of CS.

Published: June 2023

Background. Unstable fractures of the spine should be managed surgically. An anterior approach allows for precise decompression of the vertebral canal and reconstruction of the fractured vertebral body. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional and surgical outcomes of anterior surgical approaches for vertebral body removal and prosthetic reconstruction. Material and methods. The objectives of this paper were accomplished by reviewing the course of treatment and treatment outcomes of patients operated on at the Orthopaedic Oncology Department in Brzozw and the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in District Hospital in Stalowa Wola in the years 2020-2021. In total, the treatment of 54 patients was analyzed. The study only included patients with traumatic and pathological fractures who underwent a single-level corpectomy. A total of 18 patients with fractures of the cervical spine, 15 of the thoracic spine and 21 of lumbar spine were treated. Before and after treatment, patients' neurological status was assessed according to the Frankel classification, performance was assessed with the Karnofsky score and pain intensity was analyzed with a VAS. The vertebral wedge angle (alpha), the ratio of the anterior height of the fractured vertebral body to the anterior height of the upper adjacent vertebral body (a/c), the ratio of the anterior height to the posterior height of the fractured vertebra (a/b) and the distance between the vertebral endplates adjacent to the fractured vertebra, measured between their anterior edges (A-B) were assessed. The most common general medical and surgical complications were also evaluated.Results. After the surgery, significant pain relief measured using a VAS was noted (the median was 7 preoperatively and 4 postoperatively) and an improvement in performance according to the Karnofsky score was observed (the median was 50 preoperatively and 70 postoperatively). Out of the 14 patients with neurologic deficits 11 improved, while 5 regained the ability to walk. In four patients, the implant migrated into an adjacent vertebra and three patients suffered a fracture of the upper adjacent vertebra. The correction of the spine deteriorated in all 7 patients. There was no postoperative neurological deterioration of patients and no infectious complications. During the surgery, three patients suffered dura mater injury, which was identified intraoperatively and repaired. Conclusions. 1. Corpectomy followed by vertebral body replacement is an effective and safe method that enables the restoration of the shape of the vertebra, restoration of the physciological spinal curvature and direct neural decompression. 2. The treatment outcomes are good. Pain significantly decreases and performance improves in most patients. 3. Treatment complications are rare. The most often observed complication was migration of the implant into an adjacent vertebral endplate, fractures above the place of fixation and dura mater injury.

Integrated nutrient management prescription was developed for late-sown variety of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (HD 3059) through soil test based crop response study. A field experiment was conducted at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during winter (rabi) season of 2020–21 and 2021–22 to develop the integrated nutrient management prescription for late-sown wheat. Experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with 24 treatments having 3 levels of each N (60,120,180 kg/ha), P2O5 (30, 60, 90 kg/ha) and K2O (20, 40, 60 kg/ha). The basic parameters, viz. nutrient requirement (NR), percentage contribution of nutrients from soil (CS); fertilizer (CF) and farmyard manure (FYM) (CFYM) were quantified. Fertilizer prescription equations in integration with FYM were developed from the data obtained in the study. In order to produce 100 kg of late-sown wheat, the amount of major nutrients needed were 2.24 and 2.27, 0.45 and 0.47, 1.89 and 1.92 kg of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) during 2020–21 and 2021–22, respectively. Phosphorus as soil nutrient contributed the maximum towards crop production; while the contribution of K from fertilizer (118.38 and 125.03) was highest for both seasons. Contribution of N from fertilizer (50.05, 51.38) was more than that of soil (33.81, 33.65). However, contribution of all the nutrients from FYM was lower. The equations developed were used to formulate ready reckoner for a range of soil test values to get a yield target of 55 q/ha for late-sown wheat. Nutrient management of late-sown wheat involving inorganic fertilizer in integration with FYM (10 t/ha) was prescribed through the ready reckoner. The study suggests that the excessive amount of fertilizer consumption as well as the subsequent adverse effect on the environment can be curtailed if FYM is used in combination with inorganic fertilizer.

Water is the main constraint on agricultural output in arid- and semi-arid agroecologies, especially in winter. Hydrogels reduce percolation and evaporation losses in the soil root zone and provide a more continuous stream of moisture to the crop, enhancing water retention. Therefore, the impact of recently developed cross-linked hydrogels (SPG 1118 and Pusa Jal Nidhi) on the performance of red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) was studied during 2020–21 and 2021–22 using a spilt-plot design with three replications under drip fertigation. The study results revealed that application of full irrigation (100% ETc) exhibited significantly higher head yield of ~16% compared to limited irrigation (75% ETc). Content of NPK in leaf and head were significantly higher under full irrigation (1.31–1.38%of N in head and 2.49–2.62% of N in leaf) compared to limited irrigation. Among modified application of hydrogels, seedling root dipping with hydrogel SPG 1118 exhibited ~12% higher head yield over control plots. Application of SPG 1118 recorded ~4–5% and 9–14% of higher head yield over Pusa Jal Nidhi and control plots. Likewise, rootapplied SPG 1118 hydrogel had higher plant height, number of leaves, and NPK uptake in head and leaf than soilapplied Pusa hydrogel and control. Due to vertical root development, control plots had longer roots (19.0–20.8 cm) and smaller root volumes (51.8–53.3 g) than hydrogel plots. Thus, root application of SPG 1118 with drip irrigation and fertigation increases hydrogel efficacy and reduces water and nutrient losses from evaporation and deep percolation.

The application of liquid bacterial inoculants along with the recommended dose of chemical fertilization improved the quality of forage oats at Bathinda and Ludhiana. The best quality attributes were observed with the treatment T11 (RDF + B. seminalis + S. maltophilia) with significant improvement in the crude protein (9.23 and 8.92%), ADF content (33.10 and 33.50%) and IVDMD (71.66 and 70.20%)at Bathinda and Ludhiana respectively. Further, correlation studies showed positive and significant correlation between ADF and NDF and the negative correlation with the rest of the quality attributes. Therefore, it is believed that liquid bacterial inoculants can play a significant role in ameliorating the forage oats quality, thus can help to enhance the overall animal productivity. In addition, potential of these liquid bacterial inoculants can be explored in integrated nutrient management or organic cultivation of forage oats as wellas in other crops.

Scientific beekeeping can be a potential and possible emerging entrepreneurial option for the smallholders’ livelihood security. It stimulates economic transformation, helps in economic and nutritional security and enhances ecological resilience as emphasized by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India in his 91st episode of Mann Ki Baat, aired on 31 July 2022. The present study has examined the critical factors responsible for the success of beekeeping under various farming systems with a focus on individual/group beekeepers. Using a semi-structured interview schedule, the study was conducted with a sample size of 40 individual beekeepers and 40 group beekeepers (comprising of 2,221 members) selected purposively from 26 States/UTs covering 56 districts of the country. Middle aged beekeepers (47.50%) within the range of 35–50 years were observed to be more enthusiastic for beekeeping enterprise showing optimal gender discrimination with the male dominance of 92% and 77% in case of individual and group, respectively. Capacity built by KVKs with before and after Mann Ki Baat episodes facilitations, was perceived to be inspiring 32.50% individual and 25% group beekeepers to venture agri-business enterprise in beekeeping. In case of marketing of honey and honey-based products, middlemen intervention was more in case of individual (22%) as compared to group (6%), whereas the group (24%) had a better dominance in online marketing system than the individual (8%). Beekeeping proved to be a profitable enterprise as the group farmers earned a net income of ₹1,28,328 and the individual beekeepers with a net income of ₹92,947 per 50 bee hives with B:C ratio of 1.45 and 1.55, respectively. This has also been in tune of Hon’ble Prime Minister’s emphasis on beekeeping as an alternative source of income for sustainable livelihood highlighted at the national conclave on natural farming on 16 December 2021. The study also revealed that ‘pesticide residual problems’, ‘low level of knowledge on honey quality parameters’ and ‘lack of proper storage facility’ were some of the major obstacles faced by the individual and group beekeeping enterprises. The paper also accentuates on the challenges faced by the beekeeping sector and suggests strategies for its expansion as a viable business enterprise.

The electronic money, digital cloud payments, banknote redesign policies and currency in circulation vis-à-vis relevance of cashless system and technology acceptance theory in Nigeria is a rarely covered topic. Design policies are used by central banks to give direction to the design process of banknotes. The study of the banknote design policies of the past century shows that ‘technology-centred policies’ are gaining popularity. Even cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Facebook’s Diem, Corda, Fabric and Ripple are competing for a spot in the cashless world, constantly reinventing themselves in the hope of offering more stable value, and quicker, cheaper settlement (Chapman, 2021; (Shao et al., 2021; Zhang & Huang, 2021). The sole aim of introducing digital currency is to reduce the volume of physical currency in circulation which in turn destabilizes socioeconomic development of a country (Barontini & Holden, 2019). It is well-known fact that many people and businesses don’t accept innovations especially the ones caused by technology. Finally, from the literatures reviewed, the redesigning of the Naira is for economic reasons which is not limited to reducing inflation, combating counterfeiting, checking financial insecurity and reducing the money in circulation. There has been a wide acceptance of electronic banking in Nigerian banks and technology has become more popular as service offering to customers have become more convenient, thereby, leading to an increase in competitiveness and profitability. There is a swift variation in the method of conducting business globally and in Nigeria, particularly which is borne from advancement in e-banking. Awolusi and Aduaka (2020) has said that it is becoming progressively difficult to satisfy customer expectations. The cashless economy does not imply an outright end to the circulation of cash (or money) in the economy but that of the operation of a banking system that keeps cash transactions to

Published: June 2023

This study investigated the impact of firm attribute on performance of listed Deposit money banks in Nigeria from (2011-2020). Two research questions and corresponding two hypotheses were formulated for the study. Ex-post facto research design was employed in the study. The population of the study included all Deposit money banks quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NXG) (NSE) as at 31st December 2020 with a sample size of Twelve (12) Deposit money banks selected from the population. The study relied on secondary sources of data which was obtained from Annual reports of sampled companies as provided by individual companies, Nigerian Exchange Group (NXG) website and Machame Database (www.machameratios.company.site). Amongst other preliminary analysis and tests, the panel least square regression analysis was done in validating the hypotheses. The study found that firm size and board gender diversity has a statistically significant impact on performance. Consequent on the findings emanating from the study, the study recommended amongst others that there should be a reasonable mix of the board of directors and risk committee to recognize female directors as this will have direct impact on the firms’ image and goodwill. Also, the study recommends that, the managements of banks should find ways to improve and acquire the optimal utilization of their assets, while making maximum use of their resources during the operation processes as this would help them in improving their earnings.

Authors: Kartika Ajoe , Wiyanto Harry , Kadir Ferial Fahmi
Published: June 2023

In order to find out whether Tokopedia Jakarta's purchasing decisions are affected by brand image or service quality this study has been carried out. The brand's picture is a representation of the general perception of that brand, made up of information and experience. The quality of service is a challenge to fulfil consumers' needs and expectations based on what they expect. While the purchasing decision is the final decision to purchase a product or service, respondents from this study are people who have transacted and used the Tokopedia application. This research can be calculated and analysed through structural equation modelling with SmartPLS 3.0 software. Data collection techniques use communication techniques by distributing questionnaires to obtain data. In contrast, sampling techniques are non-probability sampling with a judgment sampling approach based on specific criteria or considerations. The results of this study indicate that (1) brand image has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions; (2) service quality has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions.

Natural cellulosic fibers have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential as eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to synthetic materials in various industries, such as composite reinforcement, textiles, and packaging. The successful utilization of these fibers depends on understanding their properties, which can be achieved through comprehensive characterization methods. This mini-review discusses the extraction, treatment, and characterization of natural cellulosic fibers, focusing on the latest advancements in these areas. The extraction methods of natural cellulosic fibers, including chemical, physical, and biological processes, are discussed. The choice of extraction method impacts the fiber’s morphology, crystallinity, and purity, which ultimately affects its performance in different applications. Surface modification methods, including chemical treatments like treatment, acetylation, silane treatment, grafting, bleaching, and physical treatments such as corona treatment, plasma treatment, and UV/ozone treatment, are also explored. These treatments can enhance the compatibility and performance of natural cellulosic fibers in various applications. Characterization techniques for natural cellulosic fibers are reviewed, including mechanical properties testing (tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength), morphological analysis (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)), and advanced techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), confocal Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Furthermore, the application of the Weibull distribution for analyzing the tensile strength of natural cellulosic fibers is discussed, providing valuable information on the fiber’s strength distribution and reliability. This review highlights the importance of comprehensive characterization methods in understanding the properties and potential applications of natural cellulosic fibers. The continued development of these techniques will be crucial for the advancement and commercialization of these sustainable materials as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials in a wide range of industries.
L’entrée à l’école des enfants grandissant dans un contexte de vulnérabilité sociale sous l’angle de l’équité
Authors: Deshayes Raphaelle
Published: June 2023

Alors que la collaboration parents-école est reconnue comme un facteur de réussite scolaire, ce partenariat semble plus difficile à mettre en place pour les familles en situation de vulnérabilité sociale. Le monde de la recherche et des équipes de terrain ont identifié un certain nombre de bonnes pratiques favorisant cette collaboration, notamment autour de la grande transition que représente l’entrée à l’école. L’offre ping:pong, par exemple, tend à créer un climat de confiance entre les adultes, permettant ainsi aux élèves d’investir le monde scolaire dès leur entrée à l’école.

Authors: Barras Alessio , Diacquenod Cindy , Caron Valérie , Ruffieux Nicolas
Published: June 2023

Les élèves avec déficience visuelle (DV) peuvent rencontrer des difficultés à apprendre les compétences socio-émotionnelles (CSE). Le Plan d’études romand (PER) préconise un enseignement transversal de ces compétences, mais peu d’informations existent sur la manière dont elles devraient être évaluées et enseignées. Vingt-trois entretiens semi-directifs menés avec des enseignantes et enseignants intervenant auprès d’élèves avec DV ont permis d’explorer les représentations, l’évaluation, l’enseignement et les formations concernant les CSE. Les résultats montrent un souhait des participantes et participants d’avoir des périodes scolaires dédiées aux CSE, de connaitre des outils d’évaluation et d’enseignement adaptés, ainsi que de voir une place plus importante donnée aux CSE au niveau des formations en DV.
Les habiletés olfactives des personnes polyhandicapées
Authors: Petitpierre Geneviève , Dind Juliane
Published: June 2023

L’olfaction est une modalité sensorielle cruciale sur le plan cognitif et affectif ainsi que pour la qualité de vie des êtres humains. Cependant, ce sens a longtemps été négligé dans le champ du polyhandicap. Trois études portant sur les habiletés olfactives de 20 à 22 enfants et jeunes polyhandicapés ont permis de mettre en évidence leurs capacités à détecter des odeurs, à manifester des réactions de plaisir ou de déplaisir en fonction de la nature plaisante ou non des odeurs, ainsi qu’à s’habituer à une odeur présentée de manière répétée et rapprochée dans le temps. Ces résultats permettent d’encourager les milieux accompagnant ces personnes à utiliser davantage les odeurs à des fins d’étayage affectif et d’apprentissage.

Published: June 2023

VDM++ is a formal Object Oriented Specification language, derived from VDM. It extends VDM by providing object-orientation, real-time as well as parallel features. The use of the language is supported by design guidelines and a tool set. The latter offers graphical representations, syntactic and semantic checking, pretty printing and code generation. In this paper we address the handling of particular real-time issues as supported by the language. An outline specification case study is included.
Retrospective Cross-sectional Analysis of Older Adults Living with Frailty and Anticoagulant Use for Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Bolt Jennifer , Barry Arden R. , Yuen Jamie , Madden Kenneth , Dhillon Manrubby , Inglis Colleen
Published: June 2023

Background
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for most individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF), including those who are frail. Based on previous literature, those who are frail may be less likely to be prescribed OAC, and up to one-third may receive an inappropriate dose if prescribed a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of frail ambulatory older adults with AF who are prescribed OAC, compare the rates of OAC use across the frailty spectrum, assess the appropriateness of DOAC dosing, and identify if frailty and geriatric syndromes impact OAC prescribing patterns.
Methods
Retrospective cross-sectional review of individuals with AF referred to an ambulatory clinic for older adults living with frailty and/or geriatric syndromes. Rockwood clinical frailty score of ≥4 was used to define frailty and DOAC appropriateness was assessed based on the Canadian Cardiovascular Society AF guidelines.
Results
Two hundred and ten participants were included. The mean age was 84 years, 49% were female and the median frailty score was 5. Of the 185 participants who were frail, 82% were prescribed an OAC (83% with frailty score of 4, 85% with a frailty score of 5, and 78% with a frailty score of 6). Of those prescribed a DOAC, 70% received a guideline-approved dose.
Conclusions
Over 80% of ambulatory older adults with frailty and AF were prescribed an OAC. However, of those prescribed a DOAC, 30% received an unapproved dose, suggesting more emphasis should be placed on initial and ongoing dosage selection.

Objective
To identify the differences in cardiac autonomic control between older people with good and poor sleep quality.
Material and Methods
This is a cross-sectional study with 40 older people aged ≥ 60 years, registered at a community health center in Petrolina, Pernambuco, Brazil. The sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). To assess heart rate variability (HRV), the RR intervals (RRI) were recorded for 10 min with a validated smartphone app and a wireless transmitter Polar H7 positioned on the patient’s chest. The HRV parameters were calculated with Kubios HRV, and the data were analyzed in SPSS. Subjects with good and poor sleep quality (PSQI >5) were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results
A total of 31 older people were included in the final analysis, with 18 (58.1%) of them having poor sleep quality. Older people with good sleep quality have similar cardiac autonomic control to those with poor sleep quality. The medians of time (mean RRI, pNN50, SDNN, and RMSSD) and frequency-domain HRV parameters (LFms2, LFnu, HFms2, HFnu, and LF/HF ratio) were statistically similar (p > .05) in older people with good and poor sleep quality. According to the effect size, the HRV indicators were slightly better among those with good sleep quality.
Conclusion
There were no statistical differences in cardiac autonomic control between older people with good and poor sleep quality.
Notas para el estudio del sistema de los adverbios de tiempo en el español sefardí del siglo XIX
Authors: Hernández González Carmen
Published: June 2023

La profunda renovación cultural que en el mundo sefardí de los Balcanes tuvo lugar en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX significó un cambio radical en la mentalidad, los gustos, las costumbres y, naturalmente, en la lengua de los sefardíes del Imperio otomano. Un conjunto de textos decimonónicos judeoespañoles de Oriente, pertenecientes a diferentes géneros literarios, constituyen el corpus que nos permitirá mostrar distintos aspectos del sistema de los adverbios de tiempo para la expresión de la inmediatez en este especial momento de la historia de esta lengua y, al tiempo, establecer comparaciones con lo que sucede en el español.
