Negation of Negation: Father as a Vanishing Mediator in Orhan Pamuk’s The Red-Haired Woman
Authors: Dr. Sheheryar Khan
Published: July 2024

The Red-Haired Woman is an atypical addition to the oeuvre of Orhan Pamuk as it deviates from the usual politico-historical thematic and puts myth at the forefront. The novel intersperses ancient myths and legends with personal history to weave a complex narrative in which characters are individuals as well as types. In this essay, the argument is built on the premise that the ‘father figure’ in Orhan Pamuk’s novel The Red-Haired  Woman acts as a ‘vanishing mediator’ for the actualisation of the son as a ‘fully constituted capitalist individual.’ Cem, the protagonist, works as an apprentice to a well digger and in the process is transformed into something that is the very negation of his father’s ideals and, in turn, his own son has to go through the same transformation to return to the first movement of the dialectic. Frederic Jameson, apropos Max Weber, puts forward the notion of a ‘mediator’ that brings about a certain transformation and after that “it has no further reason for being and disappears from the historical scene” (78). In Weber’s view, the pervasiveness of  Protestant ethicssushered in an ascetic attitude that perceived work as something sacred. This sanctity of labour led to surplus capital and thus a religious outlook brought in its antagonistic ideology. The movement is dialectical as the mediator is not an ‘other’ but an element of ‘pure difference’ arising out of the term itself (Žižek 181). The article uses textual analysis as a method to read the selected text.

PREPARAÇÃO DO ESTUDANTE DE ENFERMAGEM QUANTO AOS CUIDADOS PALIATIVOS: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Lopes Cintia Pereira , Marques Glenda Cavalca Gonçalves , Torrenti Juliane dos Santos Santanna , Fernandes Júlia Monteiro , Baldo Francine
Published: July 2024

Os cuidados paliativos são compreendidos como a promoção da qualidade de vida do paciente e seus familiares ofertando conforto e alívio do sofrimento. Considerando o aumento exponencial da expectativa de vida faz-se necessário que os profissionais da saúde, em especial da enfermagem, sejam preparados e capacitados para cuidar destes pacientes. Entretanto, observa-se uma lacuna na formação deste profissional.  Objetivando identificar como a graduação prepara os acadêmicos de enfermagem para atuar nos cuidados paliativos, realizou-se um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório do tipo revisão de literatura narrativa. Foram lidos no total 15 artigos, no qual se constatou a falha da abordagem do tema. Os autores expressam a dificuldade dos participantes em lidar com a morte em decorrência dos sentimentos negativos que a permeiam e trazem a abordagem desta temática como processo essencial no contexto formativo. Ao analisar criticamente as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do curso de Enfermagem foi possível identificar que a escola tem a responsabilidade de formar enfermeiros generalistas que tenham uma visão crítica e reflexiva para exercer a profissão com rigor científico e princípios éticos. Com base no referencial teórico e na vivência das pesquisadoras, considera-se, portanto, que o estudante termina a graduação muitas vezes sem vivenciar o processo de fim de vida o que pode desencadear em um bloqueio para o cuidado do paciente terminal. Por fim, sugere-se que novos estudos sejam realizados acerca da temática dos cuidados paliativos com propostas para sua abordagem no contexto de ensino-aprendizagem.
PARACOCCIDIOIDOMICOSE, UM CASO RARO DE ICTERÍCIA OBSTRUTIVA
Authors: Pareja Helen Brambila Jorge , Motta Lorena Lex da , Reginato Isabela Cunha , Nogueira Vinicius Denepotti , Rosa Guilherme Dale Vedove
Published: July 2024

Introdução: Síndrome Colestática engloba as doenças que acometem as vias biliares resultando em colestase, que é classificada em extra e intra-hepática. Uma causa rara de colestase extra-hepática é a causada pelo paracoccidioidomicose, onde há a compressão externa da via biliar pelo comprometimento generalizado de linfonodos. Objetivo: relatar caso em que uma síndrome colestática é causada por Paracoccidioidomicose, devido obstrução extrínseca da via biliar. Relato do caso: Paciente M. T. M., sexo masculino, 35 anos, procedente de região rural em Presidente Prudente, história de alcoolismo e uso de drogas, com queixa de dor de início insidioso em epigastro e irradiação para hipocôndrio direito, acompanhado de febre e inapetência e evoluindo com icterícia e colúria. Foi submetido a internação com suspeita inicialmente de coledocolitíase e após exames de imagem, compressão extrínseca da árvore biliar extra hepática de provável etiologia neoplásica. No entanto, após a realização de biópsia foi confirmado diagnóstico de PCM cursando com quadro atípico de colestase. Discussão: A forma de manifestação pode dificultar o diagnóstico imediato de PCM, ao mimetizar outras doenças obstrutivas das vias biliares, mostrando portanto, a importância como diagnóstico diferencial independentemente da faixa etária, principalmente por ser a principal causa de micose sistêmica no Brasil, ressaltando em especial a investigação em populações de zonas rurais endêmicas.

Published: July 2024

Volvo é uma torção de uma víscera oca em torno de seu eixo mesentérico, podendo ocorrer em qualquer segmento do trato digestivo. Entretanto ocorre mais frequentemente no cólon sigmoide e no ceco. É responsável por 1% a 1,5% de todas as obstruções intestinais no adulto e estima-se que a incidência aumenta 5,53% ao ano. (Ramírez-Ramírez, Villanueva-Sàenz, Ramírez-Wiella-Schuchow, 2017). Os pacientes acometidos com volvo geralmente estão entre a 6ª e 8ª década de vida e possuem com certa frequência condições médicas crônicas e deficiências neuropsicológicas, sendo que essas causas se apresentam mais prevalentes no volvo de cólon no que do volvo de ceco (Vogel et al., 2016). Dentre os fatores de riscos temos dietas ricas em fibras, Doença de Chagas e comorbidades neurológicas e psiquiátricas. Em relação a isso, o paciente do caso passou pelo procedimento de desvolvulação colonoscópica. Em termos terapêuticos por conta da baixa probabilidade de sucesso e um provável potencial para causar uma lesão ao cólon volvulizado, essa tentativa de realizar redução endoscópica são reservados para os pacientes com múltiplas comorbidades e alto risco cirúrgico. (Vogel et al., 2016).

Standardized terminology for the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) status of swine herds is necessary to facilitate communication between veterinarians, swine producers, genetic companies, and other industry participants. It is also required for implementation of regional and national efforts towards PRRSV control and elimination. The purpose of this paper is to provide a herd classification system for describing the PRRSV status of herds, based upon a set of definitions reflecting the biology and ecology of PRRSV. The herd classification system was developed by a definitions committee formed jointly by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) and the United States Department of Agriculture PRRS-Coordinated Agricultural Project, and was approved by the AASV Board of Directors on March 9, 2010. The committee included veterinarians from private practice and industry, researchers, and representatives from AASV and the National Pork Board. Breeding herds, with or without growing pigs on the same premises, are categorized as Positive Unstable (Category I), Positive Stable (Category II), Provisional Negative (Category III), or Negative (Category IV) on the basis of herd shedding and exposure status. Growing-pig herds are categorized as Positive or Negative. Recommended testing procedures and decision rules for herd classification are detailed.
Stillbirth and preweaning mortality in litters of sows induced to farrow with supervision compared to litters of naturally farrowing sows with minimal supervision
Authors: Nguyen N , Cassar G , Friendship Robert , Dewey Cate , Farzan A , Kirkwood Roy
Published: July 2024

Objective: To evaluate the benefits of induced farrowing with supervision on rates of stillbirths and preweaning mortality. Materials and methods: A total of 159 multiparous sows were assigned in approximately equal numbers to two groups. Group One sows (n = 75) were induced to farrow using two intravulvar injections of 5 mg prostaglandin F2α administered 6 hours apart on day 114 of gestation (Day 0). Farrowing was supervised, with assistance given as required. Group Two sows (n = 84) were allowed to farrow naturally, with supervision and neonatal care standard for the production facility. All live piglets were weighed at 3 days and 21 days of lactation. Results: Of the Group One sows, 56 farrowed during working hours on Day 1. There were fewer stillbirths per litter in Group One than in Group Two sows (0.4 ± 0.09 versus 1.0 ± 0.17, respectively). There was no effect of treatment on overall preweaning mortality. Weights were greater for Group One than for Group Two piglets at both 3 days of age (1.9 ± 0.04 kg versus 1.7 ± 0.02 kg, respectively; P < .01) and 21 days of age (5.7 ± 0.06 kg versus 5.5 ± 0.05 kg, respectively; P < .01). Implications: Inducing farrowing and providing supervision on the day of farrowing can reduce stillbirths. However, reducing overall preweaning mortality requires more than 1 day of supervision.
Effect of site of sperm deposition on fertility when sows are inseminated with aged semen

Published: July 2024

With conventional insemination, farrowing rate and litter size were lower (P < .05) when sperm was aged (≥ 4 days; n = 30) rather than fresh (≤ 3 days; n = 29). Farrowing rate, but not litter size, was maintained with intrauterine insemination of aged sperm (n = 29).

Published: July 2024

Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma hyorhinis are known causative agents of arthritis in postweaned swine. Data from the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory shows that diagnosis of M hyosynoviae- and M hyorhinis-associated arthritis has increased in swine in the Midwest United States. This diagnostic note summarizes disease characteristics of both pathogens and describes appropriate procedures to diagnose Mycoplasma-associated arthritis. An accurate diagnosis is critical to establishing effective treatment and prevention measures in affected herds.
Postpartum dysgalactia syndrome: A simple change in homeorhesis?
Authors: Martineau Guy-Pierre , Le Treut Yannig , Guillouc David , Waret-Szkutac Anges
Published: July 2024

Mastitis, metritis, and agalactia syndrome (MMA) is a clear entity often reported as postpartum dysgalactia syndrome (PDS). However, MMA may represent only a small emerging part of an iceberg represented by PDS. Until now, investigators have compiled a list of risk factors for PDS related to nutrition, housing, and management practices and suggested that endotoxins and cytokines may play a central role in development of PDS. However, the pathophysiology of PDS has never been defined. The goal of this paper is to fill this gap, basing our proposal on the most recent published scientific literature and on the concept of homeorhesis developed by Bauman and Currie in the 1980s. Homeorhesis, a term that encompasses dynamic systems that return to a trajectory, refers to orchestrated changes in metabolism of body tissues to prioritize a physiological state (such as gestation or lactation) and brings a new perspective to this multifactorial disease that we will try to clarify using a transdisciplinary approach. Indeed, it appears that the clinical approach to PDS must simultaneously take into account physiology, endocrinology, innate immunology, and ethology.

Cerebral abscesses in a pig: Atypical manifestations of Streptococcus suis serotype 2-induced meningoencephalitis
Authors: Headley Selwyn , Silva Luiz , Okano Werner
Published: July 2024

This article describes the findings associated with Streptococcus suis serotype 2 in a 2.5-month-old mixed-breed male pig. Clinically, the animal demonstrated torticollis, paddling movement, lateral recumbency, and convulsions. Gross evaluation of the brain revealed multiple abscesses, asymmetrically located within the right cerebral hemisphere and in contact with the meningeal surface. Histopathological evaluation revealed multifocal to coalescing cerebral abscesses associated with intralesional bacterial colonies and purulent meningoencephalitis with vasculitis. Biochemical analysis demonstrated that the intralesional bacterium was a gram-positive coccus, with negative reactions to the Voges-Proskauer, catalase, and NaCl assays, and produced acid in trehalose and salicin broths. A polymerase chain reaction assay, using DNA from bacteria cultured from the brain abscesses, amplified the partial 459 base-pair fragment of the capsular gene of S suis serotype 2. The histopathological, microbiological, and molecular findings support a diagnosis of S suis serotype 2-induced cerebral abscesses with meningitis. This case represents an atypical manifestation of streptococcal meningoencephalitis of swine and is, to our knowledge, the first description of S suis serotype 2-induced cerebral abscesses in pigs.
Effect of oral vitamin D3 supplementation on growth and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels of pigs up to 7 weeks of age
Authors: Tousignant Steven , Henry Steven , Rovira Albert , Morrison Robert
Published: July 2024

Beginning in the spring of 2011, investigations on farms across the United States led to the anecdotal observation that most weaned pigs tested were vitamin D deficient. Work began on developing an oral supplement to be given to piglets early in life, and a few farms immediately adopted its use. Reports from the field by veterinarians and farm staff described encouraging improvement in piglet performance. This case report describes the effects of oral vitamin D3 on one farm during the summer of 2011, where 387 piglets from 36 gilt litters were assigned to either a group supplemented with vitamin D3 at 2 days of age or a control group. Pigs in the supplemented group were heavier at weaning and 7 days post weaning, fewer lost weight during the first 7 days post weaning, and their serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) levels were higher 26 days post weaning.
Comparison of nursery pig behavior assessed using human observation and digital-image evaluation methodologies
Authors: Weimer Shawna , Johnson Anna , Fangman Thomas , Karriker Locke , Tyler Howard , Stalder Kenneth
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To design and implement a digital photograph system to document the pig response to a human observer in the home pen and then compare these results to a human observation in an approach-assessment paradigm. Materials and methods: An observer entered the nursery pen and crouched down with an outstretched arm for 15 seconds. A digital image was recorded, and the observer counted all pigs touching, oriented, and not oriented to the human. Each digital image was used to determine the snout and tail-base proximity to the index finger of the observer for pigs classified as Touch, Oriented, and Not Oriented when pens were divided into thirds and quarters. Postures and behaviors of pigs classified as Not Oriented were further delineated. Human observation and digital image were compared. Results: Most Not Oriented pigs in the digital image were standing, followed by sitting, with 2.5% piling. Both snout and tail-base proximities were closer for Touch pigs than for the other categories (P < .001). Regardless of how pens were divided, more pigs were located in the section farthest from the observer. There were no differences (P > .05) between human observation and digital-image evaluation for pigs classified as Touch. More pigs were classified as Oriented and fewer as Not Oriented for digital-image evaluation (P < .001). Implication: Human observation is a faster and practical application, but digital-image evaluation allows for more information to be collected.
Use of altrenogest at weaning in primiparous sows
Authors: Boyer Perle , Almond Glen
Published: July 2024

Treating primiparous sows with altrenogest for 7 days after weaning increased not only the subsequent total number of piglets born, but also the number of piglets born alive and the number of sows returning to estrus after cessation of altrenogest treatment. Farrowing rates were not affected by treatment.
Risk factors for detecting influenza A virus in growing pigs
Authors: Corzo Cesar , Morrison Robert , Fitzpatrick Ann , Culhane Marie
Published: July 2024

Objective: To investigate the association between certain farm-level risk factors and the presence of influenza A virus (IAV) in growing-pig farms. Materials and methods: Twenty-six pig farms participated in the study. Thirty nasal swabs from growing pigs were collected per month from each farm for 12 or 24 consecutive months between 2009 and 2011. Nasal swabs were tested for IAV by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Weather stations located at every participating farm monitored temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, and wind speed and gusts. Farm-level data was obtained through a questionnaire to assess the relationship between the presence of IAV and farm-level characteristics. Results: Of the 15,630 nasal swabs collected from growing pigs, 730 (4.6%) tested positive for IAV. Of the 522 groups of growing pigs from which nasal swabs were collected, 110 groups (20.8%) had at least one positive nasal swab. Positive nasal swabs originated from 23 of the 26 participating farms. Farm-level characteristics associated with the presence of IAV included farm type (farrow-to-finish odds ratio [OR] 3.05; nursery OR 16.69), pig flow (all-in, all out OR 0.31 by barn; OR 0.35 by site), gilt source (born at breeding site, raised off-site, and later returned OR 0.17; off-site multiplier OR 0.25), environmental temperature, and wind speed. Implications: Population dynamics, eg, nursery and farrow-to-finish farms and continuous-flow management, play important roles in the epidemiology of IAV. Possible modifications to farm type and pig flow should be considered when constructing IAV control and prevention strategies.
Serological and virological surveillance for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, porcine circovirus type 2, and influenza A viruses among smallholder swine farms of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Authors: VanCoung Nguyen , Carrique-Mas Juan , Viet Thu Ho Thi , Duc Hien Nguyen , Thi Hoa Ngo , Anh Nguyet Lam , Hong Anh Pham , Bryant Juliet
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and utility of oral-fluids collection for surveillance of porcine viruses in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, and to establish baseline serological and virological prevalence estimates for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), and influenza A virus (IAV) among smallholder farms. Materials and methods: Paired serum and oral-fluids samples from 68 farms (sows, boars, weaners, and growers) were tested during 2011 by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for PRRSV, PCV2, and IAV. Results: Low numbers of PRRSV-positive and IAV-positive pigs were detected (1.6% PRRSV viremic, two of 124; 0.8% IAV in oral fluids, one of 124). However, PCV2 detection rates were high in both serum and oral fluids (54.8% and 61.3%, respectively). Overall proportions of pigs seropositive for IAV and PRRSV were 37.9% and 33.9%, respectively. Proportions of pigs seropositive for PRRSV were 48.6% (17 of 35) and 12.1% (four of 33) on vaccinated and unvaccinated farms, respectively. Oral fluids and serum samples yielded comparable prevalence estimates for molecular detection of PCV2, and detected one sample PCR-positive for hemagglutinin of influenza A/H1N1/pdm09. There was no evidence of PRRSV shedding in oral fluids. Implications: Antibody prevalence estimates based on testing oral fluids may provide an acceptable and useful surrogate for testing serum in future field studies if optimized assays are employed.

Authors: Stiehler Tina , Heuwiser Wolfgang , Pfutzner Andre , Burfeind Onno
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To investigate the course of body temperature in early postpartum sows and possible factors that may influence it, and to examine the influence of a vaginal temperature logger on body temperature by including a control group of sows without loggers. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on a commercial pig farm from January to May 2013. A total of 156 sows received a vaginal temperature logger for 6 days post partum and 43 sows remained without loggers (negative control group). Vaginal temperature was measured at 10-minute intervals. Rectal temperature, feed intake, general condition, and vaginal discharge were evaluated daily. Results: The sows showed a clear circadian rhythm of vaginal temperature, with minimal mean temperature 39.0°C (standard deviation [SD] 0.5°C) from 5:00 am to 6:00 am and maximum mean temperature 39.4°C (SD 0.5°C) from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm (P < .05). Day post partum (P < .01), time of day (P < .01), age (P < .01), general condition (P < .01), vaginal discharge (P < .01), and treatment for postpartum dysgalactia syndrome (P < .01) had effects on rectal and vaginal temperature. Implications: Measurement of body temperature should be made at the same time every day. Use of vaginal temperature loggers is a practicable method for on-farm studies to gain more information about the course of body temperature in postpartum sows. Body temperature should not be used as the single criterion for the decision to administer medical treatment.
Characterization of histopathologic lesions among pigs with overgrown claws
Authors: Newman Shelley , Rohrbach Barton , Wilson Mark , Torrison Jerry , van Amstel Sarel
Published: July 2024

Objective: To characterize histologic lesions in pigs with and without claw overgrowth. Materials and methods: Hindlimb claws from a subset of 24 sows that were part of a larger field study were selected because of claw deformities associated with overgrowth and change in gait. Length measurements were available for 72 lateral or medial rear claws. Claws were examined histologically and the lesions categorized. Overgrowth was defined as a toe growth measuring > 50 mm in length. Results: Lateral rear claws were most consistently overgrown. However, the distribution and severity of lesions failed to suggest a common etiology for overgrowth. Inflammation, arteriosclerosis, lamellar epithelial changes, phalanx rotation, or combinations of these were not prominent gross or histologic changes. Implications: The pathogenesis of overgrowth in this collection of claws is unknown, but does not appear to represent primary laminitis in this species. As lameness continues to prompt a significant economic loss due to culling, further studies on claw overgrowth, its effect on motion, and its pathogenesis are warranted.

Authors: Trung Bui Thanh , Duc Le Anh , Phu Pham Quang
Published: July 2024

The influence of gas-pulsed flow when supplied in the perpendicular direction to the refined standard (RS) sugar layer has been studied in this article. Some hydrodynamic parameters of the RS sugar in the gas-pulsed fluidized bed have also been determined. The research results have been applied in the design of the RS sugar dryer using the modern pulsed fluidized bed drying method. The bed porosity in the static particle layer (e0) was 0.44 while the bed porosity in the minimum fluidized bed (emg) was 0.484 and the minimum fluidized bed velocity (Umg) was 0.65 m/s. The bed porosity in the homogeneous fluidization bed (ehg) was 0.67, and the homogeneous fluidization velocity (Uhg) of 1.63 m/s has been calculated. The critical velocity (Ucg) of 2.7 m/s and the bed porosity (ecg) of 0.8 in the circulating particle bed were determined. The pressure drop through the layer of RS sugar with a thickness of 300 mm was 3808 N/m2.

Defatted coconut meat presscake is a by-product of coconut milk production, often discarded or used as low-value products, but has the potential to treat wastewater. This study aimed to characterize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized from defatted coconut meat presscake and determine their effect on the degradation of contaminants in wastewater and antibacterial properties. The nanoparticles were synthesized via a co-precipitation method using zinc nitrate as a precursor and defatted coconut meat presscake extract as a reducing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), FE-SEM (Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis). The ZnO NPs exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite structure with an average size of 54 nm. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation showed a degradation efficiency of 79.5% within 180 minutes. Treated wastewater with ZnO NPs at concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 5 mg/L showed a significantly reduced microbial load, with averages of 10.2×106, 8.3×106, and 3.8×106 CFU/mL, respectively, compared to untreated wastewater (16.5×106 CFU/mL), indicating the antimicrobial properties of ZnO NPs. Therefore, ZnO NPs synthesized from defatted coconut meat presscake extract offer an eco-friendly solution for efficiently treating wastewater from the food industry.

Sistema de bajo costo para la autoproducción y análisis de vídeos de baloncesto: un caso de estudio para campus universitarios
Authors: Quiroga Julián , Carrillo Henry , Atencio Pedro , Zapata Luis , Maldonado Edisson , Garcia Manuel
Published: July 2024

El deporte al interior de las instituciones educativas usualmente se limita tradicionalmente al aspecto formativo y competitivo amateur. Esto junto a factores de financiamiento hacen que no resulte usual la transmisión de los partidos, o la aplicación de tecnologías disruptivas como el análisis de juego a partir de los videos. En este aspecto, proponemos el diseño de un sistema de bajo costo para la realización de producciones automáticas y transmisiones de video de baloncesto en competencias aficionadas y campus universitarios, los cuales pueden encontrar restrictivos los costos de soluciones de este tipo orientadas a ligas profesionales. Este sistema estará compuesto de unidades de cómputo en el borde capaces de realizar la transmisión y análisis del video, así como de los subsistemas para el control y gestión de estas.

Authors: Chu Man-Wai , Craig Heather , Hoey Felecia
Published: July 2024

COVID-19 social distancing measures forced many university courses to be offered online. The performance-based assessments originally designed for in-person learning may not work well in online environments. This study investigated students’ perceptions of performance-based assessments, and their associated resources, during a course that was offered both in-person and online. The results from 312 undergraduate education students (n = 248 in-person and n = 64 online) indicated all the resources for one of the two assessments were rated statistically significantly higher by students who attended the course in-person. This indicated students who completed the course in-person had a stronger interaction with the assessment resources and rating having higher cognitive and affective skills needed to perform a similar assessment task in their future classrooms. Online students indicated some resources, such as assessment instructions and scoring rubrics, should be better explained during the course for more clarity regarding expectations.
Les mesures de distanciation sociale ont contraint de nombreuses universités à proposer des cours en ligne. Les évaluations basées sur les performances, conçues à l'origine pour l'apprentissage en personne, peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement dans les environnements en ligne. Cette étude s'est intéressée à la perception qu'ont les étudiants des évaluations basées sur les performances et des ressources associées, dans le cadre d'un cours dispensé à la fois en présentiel et en ligne. Les résultats obtenus auprès de 312 étudiants en éducation de premier cycle (n = 248 en personne et n = 64 en ligne) indiquent que toutes les ressources pour l'une des deux évaluations ont été évaluées de manière statistiquement significative plus élevée par les étudiants qui ont suivi le cours en personne. Cela indique que les étudiants qui ont suivi le cours en personne ont eu une interaction plus forte avec les ressources d'évaluation et qu'ils ont évalué les compétences cognitives et affectives nécessaires pour effectuer une tâche d'évaluation similaire dans leurs futures salles de classe. Les étudiants en ligne ont indiqué que certaines ressources, telles que les instructions d'évaluation et les grilles de notation, devraient être mieux expliquées pendant le cours pour que les attentes soient plus claires.
How Much Snot is Too Much Snot? Community-Making Amid Pandemic Times in Early Childhood Education

Published: July 2024

This article details a pedagogical inquiry research project, Crafting Pedagogies with(in) Suspension: Viral Pedagogies in COVID times in Early Childhood Education, where educator co-researchers collaborated with a pedagogist-researcher to explore how we might craft early childhood education pedagogies relevant to pandemic times. In particular, we trace how questions of community-making emerged as quotidian conceptions of community failed in the conditions of the pandemic. Thinking with the question “how much snot is too much snot?”—a question educators were asked to assess as a marker of community participation—we share three tensions of community-making: policing bodies, normalcy, and community-making as an ongoing process. Importantly, we work to share our pedagogical thinking with these tensions, asking how they create different possibilities for making community with children and families in educational contexts. Cet article décrit un projet de recherche sur l'enquête pédagogique, intitulé Crafting Pedagogies with(in) Suspension : Viral Pedagogies in COVID times in Early Childhood Education, dans le cadre duquel des co-chercheurs éducateurs ont collaboré avec un chercheur-pédagogue pour explorer la manière dont nous pourrions concevoir des pédagogies d'éducation de la petite enfance adaptées aux périodes de pandémie. En particulier, nous montrons comment les questions relatives à la création de communautés ont émergé lorsque les conceptions quotidiennes de la communauté ont échoué dans les conditions de la pandémie. En réfléchissant à la question "quelle quantité de morve est trop importante ?" - une question que les éducateurs ont été invités à évaluer en tant que marqueur de la participation communautaire - nous partageons trois tensions liées à la création de la communauté : le maintien de l'ordre des corps, la normalité et la création de la communauté en tant que processus continu. Plus important encore, nous nous efforçons de partager notre réflexion pédagogique avec ces tensions, en nous demandant comment elles créent différentes possibilités de créer une communauté avec les enfants et les familles dans des contextes éducatifs.

Recent research specifies that game-based learning effectively engages students in classroom activities. Although there has been a prominent upsurge in game-based teaching and learning, this area has not received significant attention within the context of Gulf nations. This study investigates the perceptions, motivations, and benefits of game-based teaching-learning among school teachers, aiming to enhance the interactive learning environment. This study used a quantitative method and survey data from 505 school teachers who were actively teaching around the United Arab Emirates to reach its objectives. The majority of teachers believed that using games as a teaching tool in the classroom was a good idea. The study revealed the potential for game-based learning in the classroom and identified challenges, such as the need for rigorous game-based instructional design. We examined game-based teaching and learning’s role in contributing to interactive learning environments and its apparent benefits of improving teamwork and lowering stress among teachers.
Des recherches récentes précisent que l'apprentissage par le jeu permet d'impliquer efficacement les étudiants dans les activités de la classe. Bien que l'enseignement et l'apprentissage par le jeu aient connu un essor important, ce domaine n'a pas reçu une attention particulière dans le contexte des pays du Golfe. Cette étude examine les perceptions, les motivations et les avantages de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage par le jeu chez les enseignants, dans le but d'améliorer l'environnement d'apprentissage interactif. Pour atteindre ses objectifs, cette étude a utilisé une méthode quantitative et des données d'enquête provenant de 505 enseignants dans les écoles de la région des Émirats arabes unis. La majorité des enseignants ont estimé que l'utilisation des jeux comme outil d'enseignement en classe était une bonne idée. L'étude a révélé le potentiel de l'apprentissage par le jeu en classe et a identifié des défis, tels que la nécessité d'une conception pédagogique rigoureuse basée sur le jeu. Nous avons examiné le rôle de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage par le jeu dans la création d'environnements d'apprentissage interactifs, ainsi que ses avantages apparents en termes d'amélioration du travail d'équipe et de réduction du stress chez les enseignants.

تناولت الدراسة الحديث عن الشباب والإرهاب في ضوء الكتاب والسنة -دراسة موضوعية – وبينت مفهوم الإرهاب وأهدافه ثم ذكرت الإرهاب والشباب في ضوء القرآن والسنة حيث بينت موقف الإسلام من الإرهاب، ثم وضحت الدراسة أسباب اندفاع الشباب للإرهاب سواء كانت أسباب فكرية، أو أسباب نفسية، أو أسباب اجتماعية، أو أسباب اقتصادية، ثم رسمت الدراسة المنهج الوقائي لعدم الوقوع في براثن الإرهاب من تفعيل دور الأسرة المسلمة؛ لأنها اللبنة الأولى في تكوين المجتمع، تفعيل دور المسجد؛ لأنه له الأثر الواضح في تهذيب أفكار الشباب، الاهتمام بدور الإعلام، ودعوة المجتمع إلى التحلي بالفضائل، والتخلي عن الرذائل ثم ذكرت الدراسة جملة من النتائج من أهمها أن الإسلام دين رحمة ومحبة وألفة وتربية لا دين إرهاب.

MUSLIM TATAR DI POLANDIA
Authors: Noer syo im  , Prof. Dr. H. Abd A’la, M.Ag
Published: July 2024

Komunitas Muslim Tatar di Polandia menawarkan perspektif yang menarik tentang upaya menjaga identitas budaya dan agama sambil berintegrasi dalam masyarakat yang lebih luas. Sebagai salah satu komunitas Muslim tertua di Eropa, keberadaan mereka di Polandia dapat ditelusuri hingga abad ke-14. Meskipun jumlahnya relatif kecil, Muslim Tatar memiliki sejarah panjang dalam melestarikan warisan budaya di tengah lingkungan yang didominasi Kristen. Dalam konteks multikulturalisme Eropa yang berkembang, komunitas ini menghadapi tantangan seperti mempertahankan tradisi, memerangi stereotip, dan mencari keseimbangan antara identitas dan integrasi. Penelitian ini mengkaji upaya-upaya yang dilakukan oleh Muslim Tatar untuk melestarikan identitas melalui pendidikan, perayaan budaya, dan advokasi hak-hak minoritas. Selain itu, makalah ini juga menganalisis peran pemerintah Polandia dalam mendukung integrasi dan kebijakan yang mempromosikan keragaman budaya. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang mencakup tinjauan literatur dan analisis data sekunder, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi tantangan yang dihadapi Muslim Tatar serta praktik terbaik dalam membangun dialog dan pemahaman antar budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun ada kemajuan, stereotip dan diskriminasi masih berlanjut, sementara generasi muda Muslim Tatar sering menghadapi tantangan dalam menjaga identitas mereka. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya berkelanjutan dalam pendidikan, keterlibatan generasi muda, kolaborasi dengan masyarakat sipil, dan kebijakan yang lebih inklusif untuk mendukung integrasi yang lebih baik dan mempromosikan keragaman budaya di Polandia dan Eropa.
