Violencias simbólicas y físicas en el campus universitario: el caso de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
Authors: Guzmán Medina Beatriz Helena
Published: December 2022

La sociedad colombiana se ha visto envuelta en conflictos violentos por más de dos siglos, una continuidad histórica de conflicto y guerra. Esta situación permeó todos los estamentos de la sociedad colombiana y la academia no fue ajena a ello, siendo las universidades públicas uno de los espacios en los que más se evidenció este fenómeno. En este sentido, el presente artículo busca determinar si estas violencias continúan permeando los espacios de los campus universitarios, tomando como caso de estudio a la Universidad Distrital Francisco José Caldas, a través de un ejercicio de cartografía social y mapas. El ejercicio permitió evidenciar diferentes conductas violentas en cada sede de la Universidad, encontrando que algunas de ellas convergen de acuerdo con las características del entorno. Cabe aclarar que este ejercicio hace parte de una investigación realizada en colaboración de dos1 estudiantes de la Institución en el marco de su proyecto de grado en el año 2020.

Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar algunas resistencias a la precariedad tecnológica durante el cierre de las escuelas rurales en Colombia por la pandemia de la Covid-19. Con un enfoque cualitativo, metodológicamente se privilegiaron los elementos de la investigación narrativa mediante la producción y análisis de 65 relatos testimoniales de igual número de actores clave en la educación rural colombiana entre los que se encontraban docentes, rectores y coordinadores, funcionarios del Ministerio de Educación de Colombia y consultores con experiencia en proyectos de ejecución nacional; actores todos con experiencia en educación rural.  Las conclusiones en relación con las formas de resistencia a la precariedad tecnológica pueden entenderse desde dos perspectivas:  la primera tiene que ver con los usos de tecnologías análogas y digitales en una recombinación y reutilización de medios (radio, WhatsApp, Facebook, plataformas digitales, formas tradicionales como guías, material impreso, libros, folletos) que operan como interfaces comunicativas y educativas, la segunda remite a la labor de los docentes en relación con el cuidado pedagógico y los gestos de hospitalidad. Estos dos aspectos evidencian resistencias a la precariedad tecnológica, desde la precariedad misma, durante el cierre de las escuelas por la Covid-19, lo que a su vez no exime a los entes gubernamentales de su responsabilidad histórica por superar la desigualdad social y digital en la ruralidad colombiana.
Publicaciones sobre la prensa pedagógica del primer tercio del siglo XX como fuente y como objeto de estudio en España: una revisión sistemática y significativa
Authors: Ortiz de Santos Rosa , Nieto Ratero Álvaro
Published: December 2022

La prensa pedagógica profesional, como fuente y como objeto de estudio, ha sido un tema de creciente interés para los investigadores en Historia de la Educación. Muestra de ello son los numerosos repertorios analíticos publicados en distintos países, así como las investigaciones que se han llevado a cabo, ya sean de las propias publicaciones pedagógicas o de temáticas específicas. El objetivo de esta aportación consiste en realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura producida en España sobre diferentes títulos de prensa pedagógica surgidos en el primer tercio del siglo XX (1900-1936). Para ello se han seguido las indicaciones de Sánchez-Meca (2010) y el modelo PRISMA (Moher, et al., 2009). Se han registrado 809 títulos de prensa a partir de los principales repertorios analíticos en nuestro país y, posteriormente, se ha realizado la búsqueda sistemática en las principales bases de datos científicas (Scopus, Web of Science, Dialnet y TESEO). Se han recuperado 154 investigaciones correspondientes a 55 revistas de la época estudiada, gran parte pertenecientes a los títulos de prensa pedagógica más reconocidos, de difusión nacional, como Revista de Pedagogía o el BILE, lo que demuestra que la mayoría de las publicaciones educacionales de esta época están inexploradas por la historiografía.

Published: December 2022

A healthy coral reef ecosystem can be beneficial for the survival of fish habitats and aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the influence of human activities on the spatial distribution of coral reefs in the coastal waters of Samatellu Lompo Island, Pangkajene Islands Regency, South Sulawesi in 2000, 2014, 2018, and 2021. The spatial distribution of coral reefs was obtained through a field survey using the underwater transect photo method. Then, satellite images were processed by using the Lyzenga algorithm for water column correction, and aquatic objects were classified by using unsupervised classification. Human activities that affect coral reef destruction were obtained through interviews and it was strengthened with related literature studies. The results showed that the coral reefs in the coastal waters of Samatellu Lompo decreased from 2000-2021. In 2000, the live coral area was 13.53 ha, whereas in 2021 it was 8,031 ha. Destructive fishing activities such as using bombs and poison in catching fish are the main factors of coral reef destruction. In addition, destructive fishing activities commonly occur in the western and northern waters of Samatellu Lompo that causing the live coral into dead coral or rubble.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: The study was conducted to examine changes in the beliefs and contents of articles on autism since the mid-twentieth century. Characteristics analyzed were the mentioning of pharmaceutical drugs, country, and institution of the first author, methodologies used, journal, and the year of publication. Methods: All articles (N=566) analyzed were published between January 1st, 1943 and December 31st, 2021. Inter rater reliability was assessed and there was a 94.4 percent agreement amongst raters. All articles were analyzed through both PubMed and PsycInfo. Results: A one way chi square indicated that there was a significant number of articles expressing mixed beliefs on the cause of autism. Scientific perspectives on the cause of autism have changed significantly over time. Particularly, the belief of empiricism (environmental factors) has decreased significantly, while both mixed beliefs and nativism have increased remarkably. Additionally, the mentioning of pharmaceutical drugs is involved with the beliefs on the cause of autism. Conclusion: Articles in the twenty first century are most likely to express both nativist and empiricist viewpoints on the cause of autism. Articles that express mixed beliefs are most likely to mention drugs in their study. The results impact scientific self-understanding on autism and beliefs in high-income countries, and advance scientific understanding globally.

The aim of this study was to see how intervention of enlightenment about personal and national health plus wellbeing could impart the young ones concerning their attitude and participation in national matters. This study included college students from randomly selected urban and rural communities in Cross River, Edo, and Kaduna states. The current study enlisted a total of 140 participants. Structured pretested questionnaires were used to collect data. The majority of the respondents in the current study attributed health to wealth (35.4%), others defined health as total wellbeing (32.3%), clean and sanitary environment (6.3%), the fitness of mind and body (4.7%), state of wellness of mind, body, and financial ability (2.4%). 42.6% of the respondents in the current study indicated that they will improve on citizen responsibility; 19.7% said they will provide a sanitary environment whereas 12.6% indicated that good governance is necessary for the improved health of Nigeria; 5.5% noted that they staying healthy to improve the health of Nigeria; 11.8% stated that education is necessary for the nation’s improved health’ 7.9% indicated that they will improve basic amenities. The findings of this study point to an acceptance of increased citizen responsibility; the realization that the maintenance of basic amenities and the environment was critical for respondents to become aware of the growing role of the ordinary citizen in the provision and maintenance of good governance. Increased calls for Nigerians to register to vote have frequently failed to produce the desired results. According to the findings of the current study, the majority of respondents are eager to vote in the upcoming election.
The Culture Industry and Loss of Individuality in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World
Authors: Özenç Ardeniz
Published: December 2022

When Theodore W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, two of the most prominent figures of Frankfurt School, published their work Dialectic of Enlightenment in 1947, the Second World War had shaken the world and almost all hopes for humanity’s salvation were lost. The grand narratives such as Marxism, which had previously announced the coming of a fair and just revolution for the oppressed, and Humanism, which pointed the way to a harmonious existence of all humans, were all abandoned because the wars had shattered humanity’s hope in its own capabilities to achieve these ideals. Adorno and Horkheimer feared the dangers totalitarian and capitalist societies imposed on their citizens. Their assertion that late capitalism created a ‘culture industry’ which is used for the stupefaction and subjugation of people by turning them into uncritical masses is exemplified in Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World. Huxley illustrates some of the key points that critical theory scholars make, such as commodification of culture, and alienation and reification of the individual. It is the aim of this research to analyse Brave New World in terms of Adorno and Horkheimer’s concept of ‘culture industry’, as specified in Dialectic of Enlightenment and the aforementioned key concepts of critical theory.
Humanization in Educational Environments; Aspects Necessary for Living in School Today
Authors: Tomé José Manuel Salum
Published: December 2022

While it is true, quality has always been measured through statistics and percentages, often forgetting the training of the whole person. Now, when we talk about issues such as humanism and education supported by technology, we can fall into extremes: it is common to label technology as the provider of all the evils of today's civilization; or the opposite assumption; to argue that incorporating technologies into education would be the panacea for all the problems it faces and finally, to assume that the subject of the humanities is more typical of actions and attitudes of the past than as a current need, giving vitality to any educational process. However, and fortunately for the educational community, today there are global efforts to make the educational task a human action that minimizes inequities and the abysmal differences that exist in countries like ours. Fernando Reimers says: “Equal educational opportunities must be the priority objective of educational policies, the aim of education must be to contribute to creating just societies. This requires improving the learning environments of the poor, but not only along the paths that have been started over the last decade. This aspect pointed out by Reimers is precisely the central aspect that all educational action must contemplate, the educational policies that are implemented in our country must guarantee, above all, the construction of a just and egalitarian society, strengthening the cultural wealth that we have, with respect to to the diversity of people, their past, their present and especially their future.

Authors: M-Amen Karwan
Published: December 2022

Background and objective: Community immunity to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end will be achieved by a successful vaccination against COVID-19. All university students in Kurdistan Regional Government were required to receive the COVID-19 vaccines. The aim of this study is to identify the university students’ perspectives about the COVID-19 vaccination and their willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study using self-administered online survey was conducted among the university students from 14th to 28th February 2022. All undergraduate students at different Colleges of Hawler Medical University were invited to take part in the study. A convenience sampling method was applied to reach the sample through using Google form. Results: In total, 644 students participated in the study; around half (47.5%) of them have received the vaccine. There were significant statistical associations between selected students’ characteristics and their COVID-19 vaccination status. The following factors were associated with high rate of vaccination: students aged older than 20 years old (P = 0.01), being male (P = 0.037), senior students (P ˂0.001), being infected with the COVID-19 infection (P = 0.048), and having family members with chronic disease (P = 0.003). Conclusion: The current study revealed significant findings as the majority of students were still unvaccinated at a time where the COVID-19 vaccines were available to them. Having concern about serious side effects of the vaccine and its safety were the main reasons for vaccine avoidance, whereas, requiring students to be vaccinated by the place where they study was the main reason to take the vaccine. Future studies further exploring the factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy and avoidance seems essential.
Iwokrama in Guyana, South America, and Indigenous Shared Governance of Rainforest During a Pandemic: Use It or Lose It?
Authors: Sulkowski Adam J.
Published: December 2022

Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development, located in Guyana, was established in 1996. It was intended to conserve rainforest in this often overlooked—yet ecologically invaluable—corner of South America, which forms the edge of the Amazon biome. It was also founded to serve as a model of shared governance with Indigenous populations and to function as a test site for sustainable rainforest use. This case summarizes its history and takes us to the period of 2020–2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down tourism and logging. The end of this legal (if controversial) economic activity in the region and the skyrocketing price of gold created the perfect storm for illegal—and much more damaging—exploitation. Specifically, mining and associated harmful human activity expanded into Iwokrama’s territory. In addition to these immediate and acute threats, the leadership of Iwokrama was confronted with an existential question about their path forward. Readers of this case are invited to consider options for the institution, both in terms of process (especially the inclusion of Indigenous preferences), regulation (what activities to permit and promote within the region), and action. Readers of this case can expect to learn about the context of this region and organization and will acquire familiarity with various perspectives and multidimensional dilemmas related to Indigenous shared governance, sustainable natural resource use, and conservation. This will enable readers to better evaluate, articulate, and advocate for positions in comparable contexts elsewhere.

Authors: Yustikasari Yusi , Mubarok Husni , Rianto Rianto
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The implementation of this manual system is considered less accurate in obtaining the results of social assistance recipients. From these problems to overcome this problem, systematic calculations are needed. In processing data, a model is needed that can explain the data with its application, so a machine learning model is made that can help process the data.Methods: This study's classification of non-cash food social assistance receipts uses the K-Nearest Neighbor and Adaptive Boosting algorithms. This study will compare the performance of the two algorithms.Result: The results obtained for Adaptive Boosting are the best classification results with a maximum accuracy of 100% and produce a high AUC value of 1.0. In comparison, the ROC curve for the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm produces an accuracy of 96% with an AUC value of 0.94.Novelty: ROC curves in the two algorithms are good classification results because the two graphs cross above the diagonal line and produce an AUC value included in the Excellent classification.
Travel Time Estimation Using Support Vector Regression on Model with 8 Features
Authors: Kosasih Rifki , Mardhiyah Iffatul
Published: December 2022

Purpose: In travelling, we need to predict travel time so that itinerary is as expected. This paper proposes Support Vector Regression (SVR) to build a prediction model. In this case, we will estimate travel time in the Bali area. We propose to use a regression model with 8 features, i.e., time, weather, route, wind speed, day, precipitation, temperature and humidity information.Methods: In this study, we collect real-time data from Global Positioning System (GPS) and weather applications. We divide our data into two types: training dataset consisting of 177 data and testing dataset comprising 51 data. The Support Vector Regression (SVR) method is used in the training stage to build a model representing data. To validate the model, error measurements were carried out by calculating the values of R2, Accuracy, MAE (Mean Absolute Error), RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and Accuracy.Result: From the research results, the model obtained is the SVR model with parameters γ=0.125, ε=0.1 and C = 1000, which has a value of R2= 0.9860528612283006. Later, we predict travel times on testing data using the SVR model that has been obtained. Based on the result of the research, our model has a 0.8008 MAE (Mean Absolute Error), 1.2817 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and 95.3369% Accuracy.Novelty: In this study, we use 8 features to estimate travel time in the Bali area. Furthermore, we will compare the KNN regression method (previous studies) with Support Vector Regression (SVR) (proposed method) on a model with 8 features to estimate travel time.

Authors: Kazemi Karchangi Zahra , Behrooz Rabi
Published: December 2022

In order to protect the environment and cellulose resources, yarn wastes from the textile industry, which contains a considerable amount of cellulose, can be used to produce microcrystalline cellulose. In this study, yarn waste was milled via a ball mill and was subjected to acid hydrolysis using sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid at different times. It was characterized through various tests to determine the particle size, degree of polymerization, bulk and tap density, water soluble substances, ash content, moisture absorption capacity, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the chemical compositions of all the samples were the same. The X-ray diffraction measurement showed an increase in crystallinity after acid hydrolysis. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that prepared microcrystalline cellulose via acid hydrolysis had good temperature resistance. The results obtained showed that the cotton waste from textiles was able to produce cellulose microcrystalline at a pharmacy standard level.
Integrating Open Challenges in the Curriculum: Lessons Learned from an Experience with NASA
Authors: Vincenti Giovanni
Published: December 2022

Preparing students for the workforce is a balancing act that involves theory, practice, and assessment. As students navigate an educational experience that is, however, often distant from real-world needs, it is imperative that academia finds a novel way to bridge the gap. As many organizations utilize open challenges to attract ideas and talent, academia can easily create such bridge, leading to greater engagement, greater student preparation, and a potential employment pipeline. This paper describes the experience of our students and faculty advisors who participated to the NASA SUITS (Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students) Design Challenge. In particular, we review the pedagogical value of the solution that they created and the changes that were implemented in the curriculum of an undergraduate degree program in Information Technology. This open-source, multi-year project is also a flexible platform that can be utilized for engagement in K-12 education as well as graduate research projects.

The aim of this study was to determine the predispositions of the studied groups of students to work in the IT sector. The basis for predisposition assessment was their voluntary self-assessment of certain preferences, which are related to the theory of multiple intelligences of Professor Gardner. The study was conducted on a reference group of IT sector employees, assuming that they will be the model, to which the results of the study will be related. The method used to obtain data about the students’ predispositions was a test carried out in an auditorium mode or online. More than 500 students from several countries were surveyed and interesting statistical material was obtained allowing for comparison between groups. The most important result was to find a way to sort the students into groups in order from most similar in their aptitude to the market pattern to least. This made it possible to determine the boundary beyond which students could be considered selected for a job in the IT sector. Statistical hypotheses about the similarity of the student groups to the reference group were verified. The results were both positive, confirming that a large percentage of students have predispositions to work in the IT market, and less promising. The authors are convinced that the method can be applied all over the world, as they examined groups in very diverse countries, taking into account, for example, location, education system, culture or religion.

Authors: Fadhilah Firyal Farah , Handayani Tuty
Published: December 2022

Gender inequality and violence against women are critically discussed by scholars around the world. Set in Afghanistan, a country that still adheres to a patriarchal culture, Khaled Hosseini, in his novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, depicts how the two main female characters, Meriam and Laila, have to face domestic violence in their polygamous marriage with Rasheed. This research aims to show how domestic violence is portrayed in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and how the novel challenges domestic violence through the two main female characters, Mariam and Laila. The research used a qualitative method by utilizing the gender studies approach. Specifically, it used gender-based violence and domestic violence concept by Ganley. The result of the research shows that the two main female characters had to face three forms of domestic violence such as physical violence, psychological violence, and sexual violence; and the two female characters fight against Rasheed’s behavior and they finally get different freedoms, both physically and psychologically. In conclusion, the two female characters in the novel tried to challenge the practice of domestic violence instead of silently confronting it like women are expected to do.

The isolated compounds were tested for their antimicrobial properties against the plant pathogenic fungus, Fusarium oxysporum, using the agar plate well diffusion method. The microdilution method determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicide concentration (MFC). In addition, the microconidia germination inhibition test was carried out using the agar diffusion method. As a result, compound 1 had MIC and MFC values of 4 and 16 μg/mL, respectively. While compound 2 showed the same MIC and MFC values of 16 μg/mL. Further testing on the inhibition of germination of F. oxysporum microconidia showed that compound 2 inhibited microconidia germination 100% at a concentration of 2 × MIC. In comparison, compound 1 at the same concentration was only able to inhibit germination by 29%. This study revealed that compound 2 is a potential new fungicide derived from local medicinal plants. However, further research is needed to identify the interaction mechanism between the test compound and the fungal pathogen F. oxysporum to develop new antifungal agents.
