Authors: Sinha Reema , Vikash S.
Published: September 2023

Epilepsy(Apasmara)is a common neuropsychiatric disorderwith major public health problem all over the world.Convulsive activities lead to neuronal cell loss, Present antiepileptic drugs control the epilepsy butlong-term use generatesadverse effects atcognitive level,behavioraland affective disorders. An integrated approachis needed to concentrate on the burdenofepilepsy care, prevention, and rehabilitation. Ayurveda has both palliative and curative protocols which recalibrates the body from the pathological to the physiological state. Cow gheeis widely used in treating epilepsy and other neurologicaldisorders. Cow Ghee is an ideal base for preparing Ayurvedic medicines due to its ability to reach within the deepest of tissues in the human body make it an excellent base to prepare Ayurvedic formulations targeting specific parts/organs/tissues of the body. There are many other uses of Cow ghee within the Ayurvedic science that make it an invaluable part of this ancient medical science. Cow Ghee utilized in Ayurveda, used for numerous medical applications, including the treatment of allergy, skin and respiratory diseases. Cow Ghee is also known to retard the undesirable effects of drugs besides cancelling the effect of toxins in the body. Epilepsy is a serious disorder of the CNS that affects both children&adults.The medium chain fatty acids in pure Ghee get converted into ketones and supply the epilepsy patient brain with the energy it needs to survive and if given on a continual basis will support processes in the brain that are involved in healing and repair.Putting few drops of warm pure ghee in both nostrils regularly reduces epilepsy.Ghee is very essential to maintain the lipid membrane of cells especially the brain tissues, the lack of which results in diseases with memory loss like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s. Absence of brain cell integrity even causes several mania, depression, and seizures -all of which have an increased prevalence in the present era.

Authors: Saxena Vasundhara , Yadav Goldee
Published: September 2023

Mussaenda erthyrophylla being an ornamental plant is still not fully explored. The most characterized compounds in Mussaendas are the iridoids, tannins triterpene and saponins. Very few species have been explored for chemical and biological studies. No pharmacognostic profile of the plant is available; its many allied species have been investigated for isolation and pharmacological activities. Saponins. a number of triterpenoids and glycosides were reported. Mussaenda genus viz., contains mussaendosides U(1) and V(2) , mussaendosides G(1) and K(2) are two new triterpenoid saponins , mussaendosides A-C, M and N with cyclolanostene type aglycone and aureusidin, iridoid glycosides. This has been adopted from Ethnobotanical Leaflets.Leaf, root contains tannins, astringents,  and mucilage.The aim of study is to estimate the amount of tannins present in the drug using folin-denis method. Mussaenda Erthyrophylla was crushed to coarse powder and extract with 50% aqueous methanol by cold maceration for 24h and make up volume upto 100ml.Tannin concentration was determined by the standard graph of tannic acid solution and was found to be 25.5 mg/g respectively. The concentration curve for tannic acid was determined and the correlation coefficient was calculated and was found to be 0.996 which indicates the good linearity between the concentration and the absorbance. It has been found that the tannins form the stable complexes with protein, starch and metal chelates by disturbing the metabolic activity of the bacterial enzymes nutrient availability, and functionality of biological membranes. The present study can be used as one of the parameters for standardization of medicinal plants

Published: September 2023

Cyanide tailings (CTs), which amount to hundreds of millions of tons and pose significant a danger to the environment's ecology, are regarded as hazardous waste. This study suggests an efficient and environmentally favorable method for the recovery of gold and silver from CTs. The influence of calcium chloride dosage, silicon dioxide dosage, pellet moisture content, roasting temperature, and roasting duration on chloridizing volatilization of Au and Ag was investigated. The simultaneous recovery of gold and silver from cyanide tailings via heating with chlorination was also investigated. It was found that the calcium chloride dosage and temperature increase the chloridizing volatilization rates, while the silicon dioxide dosage and particle moisture content decrease it. The inter-diffusion through the gangue layer served as the rate-limiting phase in the chloridizing volatilization kinetics, which was based on the shrinking core model. The apparent activation energies (Ea) of 24.01 kJ•mol-1 (Au) and 24.62 kJ•mol-1 (Ag) are in agreement with this result. The orders of reaction corresponding to various values of temperature, moisture content, silicon dioxide, and calcium chloride dosages were also computed. Semi-empirical equations can be used to describe the rate of reaction in diffusion-controlled processes.
Community Resilience as an approach: operative tools for the social-ecological sub-system
Authors: Aimar Fabrizio
Published: September 2023

Social resilience, as part of a broader notion of resilience, is becoming increasingly relevant both in theory and practice. It is increasingly perceived as a means to cope with contemporary shocks and driving forces of change, both internal and external to the system. Pandemics, earthquakes, and their side effects related to climate change are among them. Considering these pressures and related vulnerabilities, this paper discusses the community level of social resilience. It proposes qualitative resilient tools, both general and specific, for the benefit of the communities and their members, as for the people living and working in the town of Lezhë, Albania. The latter is considered a case study, in relation to which this paper provides some considerations and suggestions. The list aims to build the resilience of a community, involving, engaging, and empowering its members, considering resilience as an ongoing process. In this view, resilience is more pervasive as a discourse than merely a term, overcoming the risk reduction and management idea towards a more holistic approach
Construction and demolition waste in Lezha
Authors: Krosi Flogerta
Published: September 2023

Lezha is a city that has its beginnings in 385 BC. The geographical position of the city, together with its surroundings, has made Lezha one of the most important commercial and military-military centers since ancient times. Considering how old it is as a city and how much development it has had over the years, we can say that construction in this city is quite developed. The last 10 years there is an explosion of high-rise buildings near the beach in Shëngjin and in the city of Lezha.
C&D (construction and demolition) waste are waste generated during the construction time of various facilities and from the demolition of buildings for various reasons. So in Lezha city are present both type of waste. C&D waste materials typically include soils, concrete (which is going to be the material analyzed in this paper), bricks, glass, wood, plasterboard, asbestos, metals and plastics. In the amount of the waste the amount of concrete waste was also affected by the November 26 earthquake because many houses and mansions were damaged and remain non-functional and the only thing that could be done was to collapse. The fact that Lezha is a city with highly developed tourism in both sea, agro-cultural and mountain tourism has made the buildings increase in number or be rebuilt to meet the contemporary requirements of tourist needs. Also it is foreseen by the local institutions of Albania that by 2031 in the city of Lezha to generate 24219 tons per year of inert waste as a consequence of the increase of tourism and the predictions for the increase of the population.
The problem with construction waste, especially concrete, is that although many years pass, the concrete is not degradable, it remains as it was produced and in the place of disposal. By not treating the waste properly many agricultural lands will be turned into landfills with construction waste, we will have an environmental impact and in protected areas, tourist and public spaces for citizens.
This paper focus on an analysis of the C&D waste in the city of Lezha. The purpose of the study is to present the management situation of C&D waste in Lezha and based on this policy to provide some short-term and long-term solutions to solve the problems that come as a result of mismanagement of this waste. Using alternative management routes could result in both environmental and cost savings, also on a better development of tourisms.
Preservation of cultural heritage in Lezha city
Authors: Meco Kristiana
Published: September 2023

This paper is oriented and is part of the research on the discovery, to discover and create a revitalization of Lezha which has been left in oblivion. Lezha is a city with historical and cultural values which have many years remained unrestored. This paper will focus more on how these cultural monuments can be brought back to attention. The methodology used shows how through new methods we will be able to revitalize the city of Lezha. The objective is how a network of identification of these values will be created and their restoration without intervening without breaking the history, but preserving and developing this history. The aim is how the city of Lezha will connect these points as a cultural network and as monuments that need to be restored because over the years nothing has been done about them. The restoration will be done after they are well analyzed where they have problems and how they should be repaired. These monuments play an important role in the transfer of cultural identity. When monuments or heritage buildings are degraded, damaged, or physically destroyed; could not function better; or require new design components, careful preservation is a key, ensuring that the original dignity of a structure is preserved. As a result, heritage is a concept that covers many areas, whether cultural or community, but is also related to the community. Especially in the city of Lezha, to make various interventions, there must be a well-thought-out plan of what will be restored and what will not. if it will be only historic dwellings which have been damaged or along with them and monuments. When we decide to restore the apartment, we will need to interact with the community.
Lezha Energy and Ecological Corridor (LEEC). Climate Resilience through Blue and Green Corridors in Lezha Municipality
Authors: Gjoka Rodion
Published: September 2023

This research paper builds on the analytical work conducted by the Doctoral Candidate, initiated on November 2021, during the International PhD Workshop between Polis and Ferrara Universities as well as based on his previous experience with Renewable Energy projects and Evaluation of Ecosystem Services conducted by the candidate under the “Green Lungs for Our Cities” project (link), supported by the EU Delegation in Albania. Given the climate and ecological disturbed balance in urban areas, future planning exercises shall be oriented towards climate neutral and decarbonized cities. Urban and territorial strategies nowadays seek to explore and determine the appropriate instruments for that Nature Based Solutions NBS and Ecosystem Based Solution EBS are enabled to decrease the deterioration of human impact on all the ecological networks.
Moreover the Sofia Declaration (Regional Cooperation Council, 2020), an instrument that factorizes the EU Green Deal for Western Balkans indicates precisely that one of 5 key development sectors should be Biodiversity preservation and joint management.
Ecological networks including here the hydrology, green areas, geography, climatic conditions, energy metabolisms, transport infrastructure and industrial interactions can coexist in harmony if they are extracted form the ideology of approaching them as separate networks within a linear approach. One can always affect the other therefore “Between them there is no contradiction, but only profound opposition: to be resolved projectually” (Dardi, 2009) .
Main objective of this research is to initially seek and determine an adequate relationship between ecosystem services provided by Green, Blue and Natural networks within the urban areas of Koder Marlekaj, Lezhe-Shengjin axis to further connecting them throughout a potential Ecological Corridor that would allow the terrestrial biodiversity of Kune-Vain-Tale protected area access high territory in cases of wildfire, flooding or other extreme-climatic events.
Such intervention will pose a new systemic approach towards problems and issues, which are caused mainly by a rigid and linear approach from nowadays Urban Planning and Decision- making practices at a local and national leve. The purpose of this research paper is threefold: (i) to verify the biodiversity preservation potential of a new ecological corridor between high- land and lagoon,
(ii) in terlink the mix of urban-energy-ecology nexus within a specific case study whereas ne urban planning tools,
(iii) propose relevant measures to increase the resilience of the Lezha-Shengjin territory with regard to Climate Change implications.
Textile as shelter
Authors: Lamaj Armela
Published: September 2023

During the visit to the city of Lezha, we got to know an interesting city that carried important cultural and territorial values. In our days this has led to social and economic cities reflected in the new territorial extension. During the acquaintance with the city, some general problems were identified, which are reflected in the facades of the buildings and in the way of using the common areas. Almost the entire area had a chaotic development. My proposal is related to intervention through textile materials. These interventions will help to regenerate the appearance of the city. During the visit to the Lezha town hall, where we had a meeting with the mayor of the city of Lezhe, he introduced us to the city's development plan. Acknowledging that Lezha has had a development in the last 10 years in terms of urban areas, the mayor stopped proposing new constructions in the city because an increase in the number of residents was expected. But during the visit to the city and during the comments that were made in the hall, the presentation of the project opened a debate between the listeners and the presenters of the program. Since a very large number of high-rise buildings still had unused residential houses, it was proposed that perhaps it would be better to create a maintenance plan for the city rather than an increase in unrestricted construction. This part of the conversation became the impetus for the initial ideas on textile facades. This was one of the first thoughts I had, to create a new view of the existing city.
Rethinking and inventing Territory, Infrastructure and Housing in the case of Post pandemic Region of Lezha (Albania)
Authors: Kumaraku Llazar
Published: September 2023

The region of Lezhe is located in a strategic position of Albania. This region is bordered by the Region of Shkodra in the North, Kukesi in the Northeast, Dibra in the East, Durres in the South and the Adriatic Sea in the West. The favorable geographical position makes Lezha an important exchange node for the north-south and east-west traffic arteries. This favorable location, where the "blue corridor" is expected to pass and where the "Kombi" road currently passes, makes Lezha a strategic node for the future. In fact, the influence of the geographical position is currently felt in the economic and touristic development of Lezha. It is transforming rapidly by entering the global race of innovative cities.

Beyond this development, which until now has been based on the regulations of various urban plans, this study brings several proposals and strategies that seek to transform Lezha into a resilient city that adapts to the state of post-pandemic cities.

The proposals are divided into three categories that firstly affect Infrastructure and Services, secondly biodiversity and the environment and finally urban development and housing. These proposals are divided into two parts, since it was attempted to contain the comments or suggestions that were received from the meetings with the local actors.
Facing the new normal in a Post-Crisis and Post- Pandemic Cities
Authors: Aliaj Besnik , Toto Rudina , Perna Valerio
Published: September 2023

During the year 2020-22, millions of people around the world had to quarantine, self-isolate, and apply physical and social distancing[1]. Our lives, our family and work have drastically shifted into what many are increasingly calling the “new normal”[2]. People work, study, shop and even get health advice remotely. Yet, not everyone enjoys suitable spaces for conducting virtual lives. While much of the public attention has been given to medical experts and government guidelines; de facto, it is clear that the way we have designed and planned so far our homes and cities has been shaping how we were facing the pandemic at an individual and social level. The web reports and scholar articles on the role of architecture and urban design and planning on the post- pandemic life and city are thriving daily. Indeed, there are so many fundamental questions to raise on the societal response in the post-pandemic city. Meantime, several strong earthquakes hit capital region of Albania leaving behind thousands of destroyed houses and tens of human victims. The incidence of flooding and fires has been doubled and tripled due to climate change. The global economic crisis and the logic of stabilocracy has worsened the situation. On the top of such general instability stay the events of last pandemic crisis and a desperate need for resilient actions.
Innovative housing models that reflect the needs of contemporary society.
(Post-pandemic context)
Authors: Istrefaj (Kolici) Malvina , Kumaraku Llazar
Published: September 2023

This article is concerned with understanding the need for housing in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and suggesting alternatives to provide solutions for housing in a demanding post-pandemic society and a new lifestyle.
Since this pandemic hit the world, the issues revealed tackled primarily general societal health, followed by social distancing, change of transportation concepts, and a new remote work model within the housing unit; putting into a tangible discussion, the overall quality of housing.
An emergent need to re-address a new concept for housing, sustaining the actual socio- economic model of living, is frequently being discussed between academics alternating between provision for flexible internal spaces, innovative and resilient houses as well as re- adaptations. In this context of global societal changes, ‘The Housing Unit’, has been positioned under pressure to meet the extra needs of the inhabitants, like better indoor physical comfort and air quality, natural light and ventilation, wider spaces, and flexible interiors, needs which were previously addressed in the outdoor environment.
Whiles the impact of the pandemic in regard to housing as the primary unit responsible for the overall quality of life imposes researchers and different professionals in design fields to attend to and forecast changes within the housing as the primary “nucleus” driving the general health and quality of life for the citizens; the situation challenged every component of the urban environment, including the uses of public space, public transportation and movement within the city, which already seeks to be redefined.
This research is conducted during a two-week workshop, in the framework of the doctoral program in Architecture and Urban Planning, concerning the context Northern Albanian Region of Lezha, with the participation of the students: Rine Zogiani, Nicola Talamonti, Elena Verzella, Luca Lanzoni, Bianka Madhi,, Armela Lamaj.
The results of the workshop, after a thorough investigation of existing housing typologies, the relation of public spaces with residential buildings, and other aspects like sustainability, through the objective of providing innovative housing solutions. generated variable models of housing in two main directions: a) adaptations of existing housing units; and b) new proposals for contemporary, post-pandemic housing. The proposals integrate the use of near public space and the incorporation of auto-sufficient buildings concepts.
Beyond the tourism-led-development logic: the role of art and culture in outlining new spatial planning policies in post- pandemic Lezha.
Authors: Ruzzier Irene
Published: September 2023

The article deals with art interventions’ role in developing new spatial planning solutions for the Lezha region in the post-pandemic era, from a perspective of social and economic sustainability. Lezha is a strategic area for tourism development in Albania, but this opportunity also gives way to some emerging issues in its development, most of which have been further emphasized by the pandemics: the main one is avoiding the development of an economic model entirely dependent on tourism and improving locals’ quality of life by addressing an increasing need for quality public spaces and participation. In fact, as demonstrated by the pandemics, tourism’s revenue is not always a reliable economic source. Furthermore, when planning economic strategies to make a region wealthier, it is crucial to think about parallel social interventions to improve locals’ quality of life.
The article explores on the one hand art’s potentialities linked to placemaking, critical reflection, creation of sense of belonging and locals’ involvement, thus going beyond the mere promotion of cultural tourism, on the other hand its limits: the final aim should not be to create one more “open air museum”, but to address public interest. Finally, the paper suggests some possible applications in Lezha, including a program of artistic residencies to be organized once a year in collaboration with agro-tourisms in Zadrima, with the objective of introducing socially engaged art projects all over the region.
Post- Pandemic digital space integration in Lezha
Authors: Palmini Otello
Published: September 2023

This article aims to evaluate the potential for digital space integration in the Lezha region by taking into account Albanian urban planning practice and some Western experiences in the problematic context of the post-pandemic period as well. The digital hybridization of space is a key component of European spatial planning and is one possible way to deal with the criticalities raised by the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic has deeply changed the European approach to spatial planning, highlighting the necessity to rethink mobility systems, public spaces and the relationship between space and health. The paper proposes to adopt a context-based and small-scale approach to maximize the positive effects of the digitalization of some spaces related to agritourism, mobility and environmental conservation. This approach would allow a regional way to the digitalization of space connected with the local culture and in dialogue with the informal capacities of the territory.

This issue opens with a foreword by Prof. Besnik Aliaj and Prof. Sotir Dhamo analyzing through a descriptive and analytical-critical reflection a series of proposals made by the participants of the research workshop between Ferrara and Polis. The innovative character of this issue is immediately distinguished by the analysis of the sustainability of Albanian settlements and of the main administrative actors made by Dr. Rudina Toto. The author analyzes the concept of sustainability and resilience at a theoretical level, focusing continuously on the local context. The interaction between the main actors to have a stable and resilient settlements is synthesized in the second scheme of Toto's essay. There it is clearly described how a resilient system works in relation to its goals. After the theoretical and practical framework has been laid out in the first two chapters, the same scheme is followed with the previous issue on the Region of Lezhe, where proposals for a sustainable region have been made. These proposals have been synthesized into intervention strategies in similar contexts with similar critical points. The proposals follow the same scheme, starting from those for infrastructure to those for the environment and ending with the proposals for dwelling and housing.

Accommodation Through Online Platforms During COVID-19: A Study of Behavioral Rejection Attitudes
Authors: Prados-Castillo Juan F. , Castro-Pardo Mónica De , Mart??n-Martín José M. , Jiménez-Aguilera Juan De Dios
Published: September 2023

Online platforms act as tourist accommodation intermediaries and have generated negative societal attitudes. This study, involving fieldwork in Spain in May 2020 (600 surveys), analyzes a new element of social rejection of tourist housing activity. In the context of the COVID-19 health
crisis, the fear of contagious diseases transmitted by tourists is analyzed. The aim is to determine, based on the perception of various stakeholders involved in tourist activity, whether there is a rejection of tourists due to the fear of contagious diseases. Furthermore, the magnitude of
this reason for rejection is analyzed compared to other rejection factors associated with tourist accommodation activity. In this way, the magnitude of the fear of disease transmission when the pandemic was still active will be determined. The data have been analyzed using a stakeholder approach
and applied using a methodology based on the Borda count, which creates a ranking that reflects stakeholder perceptions of the most intense impacts. It has been found that the stakeholders with the greatest economic dependence on tourist accommodation–shopkeepers and homeowners–anticipate
the greatest rejection. These groups are also those who report a greater fear of contagion. This information may be useful in future situations of health uncertainty for regulatory or commercial purposes.

”Historioitsija Vladimir Putin”
Authors: Mikkonen Simo , Parkkinen Jari
Published: September 2023

Historian käytöstä on tullut merkittävä piirre Vladimir Putinin johtaman Venäjän ulkopolitiikassa. Viimeistään Krimin miehityksestä ja Itä-Ukrainan sodasta (2014) lähtien virallinen Venäjä on pyrkinyt rakentamaan Ukrainasta kuvaa epäitsenäisenä toimijana, joka on historiallinen ja luonnollinen osa Venäjää. Erityisesti presidentti Putin on aktiivisesti kommentoinut Ukrainan ja Venäjän yhteistä historiaa. Yksityisen kommentaattorin sijasta Putin on nostanut itsensä ylimmäksi historiantulkitsijaksi, sillä toisin kuin ammattimaisilla historiantutkijoilla, hänen näkemyksensä leviävät valtion mediamonopolin kautta kaikkialle Venäjällä. Tässä artikkelissa käsitellään Putinin kesällä 2021 julkaisemaa laajaa esseetä, joka summaa Putinin näkemyksiä Ukrainan historiasta. Artikkeli pyrkii purkamaan Putinin ajattelun takana vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Historiakäsitysten takana on useita eri tekijöitä, jotka näyttäisivät heijastelevan laajempaa venäläisen historiankirjoituksen perinnettä. Putinin esseessä on mukana myös käsitteitä, joiden avulla hän pyrkii osoittamaan Ukrainan olevan luonnollinen osa Venäjää. Käsitteiden ohella keskeiseksi teemaksi Putinin esseessä nousee faktapohjaisuuden korostaminen, jonka avulla eriävät näkemykset pyritään jo ennalta osoittamaan vääriksi.      
The use of history has become an important feature in foreign politics of Russia led by Vladimir Putin. At least since the occupation of Crimea and the war in East Ukraine (2014) the official Russia has begun to frame Ukraine as an artificial creation and dependent actor that is historically and naturally part of Russia. President Putin has actively commented on what he sees as shared history of Ukraine and Russia. Instead of being a private commentator, Putin has become the supreme interpreter of history in Russia. Unlike professional historians, Putin's interpretations spread throughout Russia via state media monopoly. This article aims to unravel factors behind Putin's thinking. His conception of history would seem to rely heavily on a broader tradition of Russian historiography dating from the 19th Century. His essay also contains particular concepts that Putin uses in an attempt to point out Ukraine as a natural part of Russia. Together with these concepts Putin's essay underlines factuality – even when the facts are only partially correct – to disprove contrary views in advance.
Mouse tracking performance: A new approach to analyzing continuous mouse tracking data

Mouse tracking is an important source of data in cognitive science. Most contemporary mouse tracking studies use binary-choice tasks and analyze the curvature or velocity of an individual mouse movement during an experimental trial as participants select from one of the two options. However, there are many types of mouse tracking data available beyond what is produced in a binary-choice task, including naturalistic data from web users. In order to utilize these data, cognitive scientists need tools that are robust to the lack of trial-by-trial structure in most normal computer tasks. We use singular value decomposition (SVD) and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) to analyze whole time series of unstructured mouse movement data. We also introduce a new technique for describing two-dimensional mouse traces as complex-valued time series, which allows SVD and DFA to be applied in a straightforward way without losing important spatial information. We find that there is useful information at the level of whole time series, and we use this information to predict performance in an online task. We also discuss how the implications of these results can advance the use of mouse tracking research in cognitive science.

Berpikir dapat dikatakan sebagai proses kompleks yang melibatkan gaya kognitif. Siswa memiliki cara dan proses kognitif berbeda-beda dalam memecahkan masalah. Proses kognitif siswa dalam memecahkan masalah cenderung menggunakan langkah-langkah yang tidak bisa diprediksi serta menentukan solusi penyelesaian berdasarkan pengalaman. Namun, sejauh yang ditelusuri proses kognitif siswa dalam memecahkan masalah hanya sebagian menggunakan langkah yang terdefinisi dengan baik, mencari metode secara keseluruhan sebelum menentukan solusi penyelesaian. Karena itu, tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan proses berpikir siswa berdasarkan gaya kognitif intuitif dan sistematis dalam menyelesaikan masalah invers proporsi ditinjau dari teori pemrosesan informasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif eksploratif. Subjek penelitian dilakukan pada siswa kelas VII berjumlah 20 orang selanjutnya diberikan soal invers proporsi, diperoleh 18 siswa menjawab soal tidak lengkap sedangkan 2 siswa menjawab soal dengan lengkap. Dari 2 siswa yang menjawab soal lengkap dipilih untuk dijadikan subjek penelitian. Hasil penelitian ditemukan dua kategori proses berpikir, yaitu (1) kategori proses berpikir intuitif tipe guessing strategy diperoleh subjek S1; (2) kategori proses berpikir sistematis tipe equation strategy diperoleh subjek S2. Disarankan pada guru yang melaksanakan pembelajaran, penting mengungkap proses berpikir intuitif dan sistematis siswa pada materi invers proporsi. Masih memungkinkan untuk melakukan penelitian lanjutan mengkaji lebih mendalam terkait gaya kognitif intuitif dan gaya kognitif sistematis.

Objetivo: analisar a polpa de beterraba como suplemento para as éguas crioulas lactantes na tentativa de aumentar o nível energético do leite. Métodos: foi realizado dosagem em quatro éguas onde foram fornecidos 1 quilograma de aveia as éguas que não ganharam polpa de beterraba, e 0,720 quilograma + 0,300 quilograma de beterraba para os tratamentos, essas dosagens utilizadas foram calculadas para manter o teor de energia digestível equilibrados. O experimento foi realizado do dia 30 de setembro de 2021 com a parição da primeira égua e se estendeu até o dia 7 de novembro com a pesagem final da última égua a parir. As éguas foram pesadas a partir do dia 7 pós-parto e a seguir de 15 em 15 dias. Os potros foram pesados no 1 dia de vida, no sétimo, e depois a cada mês até o desmame. A coleta de leite das éguas foi realizada no sétimo dia pós-parto (início), e no dia 45 (final) de oferta dos tratamentos, analisado no leite teores de gordura, proteína, sólidos totais, caseína, lactose, e realizado pesagem dos animais. Os tratamentos começaram a ser ofertados em sua totalidade no dia 7 pós-parto, mas a partir do dia do parto já foi realizado uma adaptação para a oferta. Os dados obtidos das pesagens e do leite foram todos dentro do padrão para a raça crioula. Resultados: o ganho de peso entre os animais foi semelhante, não havendo diferença estatística, apesar de os potros que as mães receberam tratamento chegaram ao final do experimento com 0,200 kg a mais que os do controle Conclusão: a polpa de beterraba é uma fonte que proporciona energia a éguas em período de lactação e pode ser ofertada como complemento ou substituto nutricional, sem perder qualidade de produção, qualidade do leite ou ganho de peso.
