Schématisation des trajectoires scolaires des jeunes
Authors: Rousseau Nadia , Tétreault Karen , Bergeron Geneviève , Carignan Marylène
Published: September 2021

Ce texte présente quelques résultats issus des travaux de l’Observatoire de l’insertion sociale et professionnelle des jeunes de la Mauricie (dans la province de Québec), travaux qui visent le suivi des trajectoires scolaires des jeunes de la région dès l’entrée à la maternelle. Trois cohortes d’élèves, soit celles ayant débuté la maternelle en 1983, en 1988 et en 1992, ont été suivies jusqu’en 2004 ou jusqu’à ce que les élèves n’apparaissent plus dans les registres du ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport. Cette étude montre que moins de 55 % des jeunes réussissent à obtenir un diplôme d’études secondaires dans le temps prescrit. De plus, c’est entre 28 % et 38% des élèves de chaque cohorte qui sont identifiés EHDAA au moins une fois au cours de leur parcours scolaire. Ces derniers sont peu nombreux à obtenir un diplôme et à poursuivre des études postsecondaires. Il apparaît donc urgent de porter un regard critique sur la situation actuelle des jeunes de cette région administrative. Ce regard pourrait aussi contribuer à la réflexion sur cette même question dans d’autres régions ou d’autres provinces où la diplomation scolaire, selon un parcours normatif, représente un défi pour une proportion importante de jeunes.
Le soutien au passage à la vie adulte des jeunes recevant des services des centres jeunesse
Authors: Goyette Martin , Chénier Geneviève , Royer Marie-Noële , Noël Véronique
Published: September 2021

Cet article vise à présenter les enjeux du passage à la vie adulte de jeunes ayant été placés à la lumière d’une expérience d’intervention pilote, le programme qualification des jeunes, implanté par l’Association des centres jeunesse du Québec (ACJQ). Les trajectoires observées chez ces jeunes sont un terreau fertile au questionnement des enjeux de l’insertion socioprofessionnelle et de la qualification chez les populations les plus défavorisées. Chez ces populations à risque de se retrouver en situation d’exclusion à leur majorité, l’analyse des trajectoires d’expérience au sein du projet pilote souligne l’importance du rôle des figures de soutien auprès de ces jeunes, agissant comme vecteurs, accompagnateurs ou passeurs en vue de la planification et au moment de leur passage à la vie adulte. L’analyse pose la nécessité d’envisager la notion du passage à la vie adulte comme étant composée de transitions plurielles et intimement liées et de considérer l’insertion comme un processus multiplexe ne pouvant être compris pour ces jeunes de façon décloisonnée.
Les chemins de la construction identitaire
Authors: Pilote Annie
Published: September 2021

Cet article porte sur la construction identitaire d’élèves d’une école secondaire de la minorité francophone. Il révèle des résultats d’une enquête ethnosociologique réalisée dans un centre scolaire communautaire au Nouveau-Brunswick. Plus spécifiquement, il présente l’analyse de récits biographiques à partir d’une typologie comprenant huit profils identitaires permettant de mieux comprendre la construction identitaire d’une manière dynamique. Ces profils évoquent différents chemins empruntés au cours d’un processus de négociation identitaire qui s’effectue par l’individu entre trois pôles identitaires se déployant sur un axe relationnel (interactions sociales) et sur un axe temporel (trajectoires historiques et biographiques). Enfin, si cette typologie ne prétend nullement présenter l’ensemble des manières de construire l’identité, elle contribue à illustrer la multiplicité des voies possibles.
La professionnalisation de la fonction de direction d’un établissement d’enseignement et le développement du champ d’études de l’administration de l’éducation
Authors: Brassard André
Published: September 2021

L’article met en relation la question de la professionnalisation de la fonction de direction d’un établissement d’enseignement et celle du développement du champ d’études qu’est l’administration de l’éducation. Il établit que l’existence d’un domaine de connaissances reconnu comme scientifique et d’un ensemble codifié de pratiques acceptées est une condition nécessaire à la professionnalisation d’une occupation. Il y est aussi exposé en quoi la professionnalisation de la fonction de direction est justifiée bien qu’elle ne soit pas acquise et, cela étant, en quoi il y a lieu de se préoccuper du développement du champ d’études. Il présente dès lors cinq conditions pouvant contribuer à faciliter ce développement : la production de connaissances originales au milieu où se vit l’administration de l’éducation; la prestation de programmes de formation professionnelle ou de perfectionnement en administration de l’éducation ayant les caractéristiques de programmes universitaires; la mise place d’unités vouées exclusivement à l’administration de l’éducation dans les structures universitaires; la réunion des producteurs de connaissances en des groupes ayant une masse critique suffisante; un maillage intense et diversifié entre les milieux de pratique, les associations professionnelles et les milieux universitaires.
L’administration de l’éducation
Authors: Dupuis Philippe
Published: September 2021

Plusieurs chercheurs et observateurs du monde de l’administration de l’éducation ont décrit les champs de compétences identifiés chez les directions d’école performantes. Les publications depuis une vingtaine d’années convergent en général dans leurs descriptions de ce qui, d’après eux, faisait qu’une direction réussissait à mobiliser le personnel de l’école – les enseignants surtout – en vue de la réussite des élèves. On pourrait synthétiser toutes ces descriptions de la façon suivante. Le sens de l’organisation représente la base sur laquelle est bâtie la compétence du directeur. Sa vision embrasse l’ensemble de ses actions. Son sens politique lui permet de réconcilier l’autorité, le milieu et le personnel. Pour arriver à harnacher toutes les énergies de son personnel, il lui faudra ses qualités en relations humaines, son leadership et son habilité de communicateur. Centrales dans toutes les manifestations de ses compétences, sa capacité de prise de décision et son aptitude à vivre avec ses décisions constituent le coeur de sa fonction.
La qualité des services de garde à la petite enfance
Authors: Japel Christa , Tremblay Richard E. , Côté Sylvana
Published: September 2021

La fréquentation d’un service de garde pendant la petite enfance est devenue une expérience normative pour les enfants. De nombreuses études ont révélé que, même en tenant compte du contexte familial, la qualité du milieu de garde a des effets immédiats et durables sur le développement des enfants. Depuis 1997, la nouvelle politique familiale au Québec vise la création d’un réseau de services de garde de qualité qui favorise le développement socioaffectif et cognitif des enfants et qui les préparent aux exigences rencontrées à l’entrée dans le système scolaire. Or, les résultats récents de l’Étude longitudinale du développement des enfants du Québec (ÉLDEQ) indiquent que la majorité de ces services de garde sont de qualité minimale. La qualité du service varie cependant selon le type de milieu de garde. Les centres de la petite enfance, en installation comme en milieu familial, affichent une qualité supérieure à celle observée dans les garderies à but lucratif et les services en milieu familial non régi. Les données de l’ÉLDEQ révèlent également que les caractéristiques socio-économiques des familles utilisatrices sont associées à d’importantes variations de qualité. Ainsi, comparés aux enfants de familles bien nanties, les enfants de familles moins favorisés sur le plan socio-économique sont plus susceptibles de fréquenter un service de garde de moindre qualité. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance d’un investissement continu dans un système public de services de garde de qualité, accessible à tous les enfants quel que soit le statut socio-économique de leurs parents.
Lorsque la communication se bute au secret
Authors: Tremblay Daniel
Published: September 2021

Le propos de cet article est de faire le point sur les difficultés de communication entre les intervenants psychosociaux et les personnes affectées par la violence et les abus infligés aux enfants et aux jeunes en milieu de vie familial. Les données utilisées proviennent d’une recension d’écrits scientifiques et cliniques portant sur le(s) secret(s) entourant ce type de violence. Il ressort de cette recension que l’existence de ce(s) secret(s) complique le processus de communication. D’une part, l’intervenant se bute à ce que l’on appelle dans la littérature recensée le « secret familial » et, d’autre part, il doit composer avec les problèmes que pose la représentation sociale de cette forme de violence.
Les controverses françaises sur l’école
Authors: Fabre Michel
Published: September 2021

Cet article traite des débats sur l’école dans le contexte français où s’affrontent républicains et pédagogues. Le fait que le débat piétine depuis trente ans suggère de rechercher les véritables enjeux symboliques au niveau culturel le plus profond. La syntaxe républicaine (opposée à la parataxe pédagogique) est analysée ici du point de vue des structures de l’imaginaire. L’approche de Gilbert Durand permet de la rapporter à sa matrice « diurne » caractérisée par des processus d’idéalisation, de coupure, d’opposition et dont la figure privilégiée est l’antithèse. Le noyau dur des thèses républicaines et leurs implications (l’opposition de l’instruction et de l’éducation, la haine de la pédagogie, la religion du savoir) doivent se comprendre à partir des caractéristiques du régime diurne. Une telle rhétorique paraît dominée par une logique de la séparation et par une fuite hors du réel qui s’apparentent à la haine des Gnostiques pour le monde. La rhétorique républicaine ne peut que se réfugier dans un ciel d’idéalités platoniciennes sans jamais accepter de se confronter au réel historique ou sociologique. Elle vit sur des mythes et dans le déni du réel. C’est pourquoi le débat ne peut avancer.

Le processus d’insertion professionnelle de diplômés en enseignement au Québec : une analyse de trajectoires
Authors: Mukamurera Joséphine
Published: September 2021

Cet article présente la synthèse d’une partie des résultats d’une recherche portant sur le processus d’insertion professionnelle de jeunes enseignants présents sur le marché du travail québécois dans la conjoncture difficile des années 80 et 90. À partir des données d’entrevues et une analyse documentaire, cette recherche analyse en profondeur les trajectoires d’insertion et met en évidence les différentes logiques de construction à l’oeuvre. L’article ne rapporte pas l’ensemble des résultats détaillés sur chacun des thèmes abordés par la recherche, mais tente de recomposer une totalité significative qui rende compte du déploiement des trajectoires d’insertion au-delà de la diversité et de la singularité des itinéraires et du vécu professionnel des enseignant(e)s interviewé(e)s. La recherche montre et explicite trois aspects fondamentaux des trajectoires des jeunes enseignants : a) la non-linéarité et l’absence d’un modèle d’insertion unique, b) l’amélioration progressive dans la situation professionnelle au fil du temps et c) l’historicité des trajectoires. Ces résultats témoignent de la nécessité de revoir les notions de précarité, de stabilité, de sécurité d’emploi et d’insertion encore « collées » à l’époque du plein emploi et à l’utilisation de paramètres économiques et objectifs.
Les nouvelles technologies de l’information et des communications (NTIC) et la formation universitaire
Authors: Harvey Denis
Published: September 2021

Les défis pédagogiques que doivent relever les universités sont majeurs et incontournables. L’exposé magistral avec tous ses attraits « administratifs » et ses lacunes pédagogiques reste pour le moment l’approche dominante en pédagogie universitaire. Les nouvelles technologies de l’information et des communications (NTIC) offrent des avantages pédagogiques indéniables, mais souffrent aussi de certaines faiblesses qu’il est essentiel de connaître si l’on veut pouvoir en prescrire efficacement l’utilisation. Il est aussi urgent que les universités mettent en place les infrastructures humaines et matérielles nécessaires à l’implantation et au développement des NTIC « pédagogiques » dans ces institutions.
Apprendre à « maîtriser » l’information : des habiletés indispensables dans une « société du savoir »
Authors: Bernhard Paulette
Published: September 2021

Les habiletés d’information constituent un ensemble de compétences dites transversales qui prolongent la notion antérieure de recherche en bibliothèque et s’inscrivent dans le domaine des habiletés cognitives, elles-mêmes liées aux méthodes de travail intellectuel. Ce texte fait le point sur l’évolution de la notion de « maîtrise de l’information », introduit les principaux modèles du processus de recherche d’information et identifie les signes de généralisation de ce type de formation, de l’école primaire à l’université et jusqu’à la formation des adultes.
Le constructivisme en didactique des sciences
Authors: Laplante Bernard
Published: September 2021

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, le constructivisme en didactique des sciences semble être à la mode. Ainsi, à la suite des recherches portant sur les conceptions des élèves, de nombreux modèles pédagogiques d’orientation constructiviste ont été proposés. Pourtant ces modèles n’arrivent pas à s’imposer. Certains obstacles semblent freiner, voire même empêcher, l’intégration d’une perspective constructiviste à l’enseignement des sciences. Cet article explore certains aspects de cette problématique afin de cerner la nature des dilemmes et des défis auxquels les tenants d’une perspective constructiviste ont à faire face.
L’impact du style cognitif sur les apprentissages
Authors: Flessas Janine
Published: September 2021

Cet article propose une réflexion sur l’impact du style cognitif sur la façon dont un apprenant peut gérer ses apprentissages. Partant du principe que personne n’apprend tout à fait de la même façon, on peut avancer que l’enseignement prodigué à l’enfant par l’intermédiaire de ses parents ou des pédagogues peut être reçu très diversement par celui-ci. Outre le rôle de la motivation et celui du niveau intellectuel, rôles qui ne sont pas négligeables, il s’avère intéressant de prendre en compte un ensemble de variables de nature cognitive, variables que se partagent l’apprenant comme l’enseignant. La définition que le Russe Alexander Luria donne des styles cognitifs sera mise ici en relation avec la compréhension qu’offrent les travaux d’Antoine de La Garanderie quant aux implications pédagogiques des styles d’apprentissage. Cette démarche rendue opérationnelle par Flessas et Lussier permettra de cerner les caractéristiques propres aux quatre styles cognitifs qui découlent des travaux entrepris par les auteurs qui viennent d’être mentionnés. Dans cette optique, apprendre nécessite de la part du sujet, comme de la part de l’enseignant, de mettre en place un projet de percevoir, de mémoriser et de comprendre chacune des informations nouvellement présentes. Pour être efficace, ce projet devra tenir compte à la fois du style cognitif privilégié par l’apprenant et de celui de l’enseignant. En effet, on communique d’autant mieux à l’autre la connaissance qu’on la conçoit soi-même d’une façon similaire. Cependant, en interrogeant de façon systématique les enfants d’une classe sur les voies qu’ils ont privilégiées dans le cadre de tel ou tel apprentissage, l’enseignant peut devenir expert pour varier la présentation de sa matière. De plus, l’apprenant lui-même, en écoutant ses pairs, découvre qu’il y a d’autres façons de percevoir, de mémoriser ou de comprendre que les siennes et il peut alors diversifier ses moyens d’approche de la connaissance et augmenter sa propre efficience cognitive. L’enseignement de groupe, lorsqu’il est conçu de cette manière, devrait donc permettre un enrichissement réciproque entre les élèves, de même qu’entre eux et leurs enseignants.

Authors: Nyat Asha , Singh Arti , Mohta Alpana , Kushwaha Ramesh Kumar , Gupta Devanshi , Jain Suresh Kumar
Published: September 2021

Background: Non venereological diseases of genitalia can be a diagnostic dilemma to a dermatologist and also a cause of considerable concern to the patient because they tend to get misdiagnosed with venereal diseases. Aims: To study the pattern and clinico-epidemiological profile of non-venereal dermatoses of male genitalia in Hadoti region of Rajasthan. Materials and Methods: We conducted this prospective, descriptive study in 250 male patients with non venereal dermatoses in Rajasthan from January 2015 to July 2016. The demographic profile and clinical findings of the patients were recorded and appropriate investigations and histopathological examination were done as and when required. Cases having venereal diseases were excluded from the study by clinical examination, serological and microbiological tests for venereal diseases. Results: The age of the patients ranged between one to 70 years, with mean age being 27.1 years. The most common dermatosis was nodular scabies 54 (21.6%) followed by sebocystoma multiplex 24 (9.6%), fixed drug eruption 19 (7.6%), tinea genitalis 17 (6.8%) and genital psoriasis 14 (5.6%) cases. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of diagnosing non-venereal dermatoses for both correct treatment of the patient as well as to alleviate the anxiety associated with venereophobia and cancer phobia.

Implementation of User Authentication System in Smart Hospitals Useful in the Age of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Badovinac Nenad
Published: September 2021

The security system for authentication and user records in a smart hospital is part of an integrated security system consisting of various authentication devices. The security system should be adapted to different characteristics of users, their user processes, but also to periods when the possibility of infection is increased due to a virus pandemic and contamination during multiple touches of different persons on authentication devices. The use of gloves and a medical face mask during a pandemic limits biometric scanning of fingerprints and facial images. During a virus pandemic, some authentication devices have limitations that need to be considered when creating an integrated security system that will have the purpose of securing doctors, staff, patients, information, and things in a smart hospital. In this paper, the parameters on the basis of which it is possible to design an optimally integrated security system are recommended.
Four-Layered Structure of E-Government Systems
Authors: Drljača Dalibor P. , Starčević Dušan , Tomić Siniša
Published: September 2021

The structure of the e-government systems plays a vital role for provision of quality of e-services offered. These systems are quite complex deploying the most advanced technologies and developed and rich countries minimised this complexity with centralised systems. However, the less developed and countries with limited financial support are creating distributed and decentralised systems trying to keep the pace with more developed in provision of e-government services. The common identifier for both types of the systems is four-layered structure, which provides quality of service provision. This paper discusses the four-layered structure of e-government systems on cases of Estonia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The four-layered structure was found as the quality solution for distributed and decentralised e-government systems.

Authors: Unung Paulinus Jimmy , Bassey Iya Eze , Alhassan Mahmoud B , Akwiwu Euphoria C. , Effa Faith A. , Etukudo Maisie Henrietta , Udoh Alphonsus Ekpe
Published: September 2021

Context: the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) on renal function of diabetics is unclear.
Objective: This study investigated the relationship between VEGF, PEDF and urea, creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in type 2 diabetics.
Materials and Methods: 100 type 2 diabetics and 50 controls were recruited into this case-control study. Analytes were determined by standard methods. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05 and 95% Confidence interval.
 
Results: VEGF, PEDF (p=0.0001), urea (p=0.024) and creatinine (p=0.026) were significantly higher in diabetics than controls but eGFR was comparable (p>0.05) in both groups. VEGF and PEDF were comparable (p>0.05) in the diabetics with eGFR<60 ml/min and >60 ml/min. Renal function parameters did not correlate with either VEGF or PEDF.
Conclusion: plasma VEGF and PEDF are higher in diabetics but there seem to be no association between renal function determinants and either VEGF and PEDF.
Condensation tendency and planar isotropic actin gradient induce radial alignment in confined monolayers
Authors: Xie Tianfa , St Pierre Sarah R , Olaranont Nonthakorn , Brown Lauren E , Wu Min , Sun Yubing
Published: September 2021

A monolayer of highly motile cells can establish long-range orientational order, which can be explained by hydrodynamic theory of active gels and fluids. However, it is less clear how cell shape changes and rearrangement are governed when the monolayer is in mechanical equilibrium states when cell motility diminishes. In this work, we report that rat embryonic fibroblasts (REF), when confined in circular mesoscale patterns on rigid substrates, can transition from the spindle shapes to more compact morphologies. Cells align radially only at the pattern boundary when they are in the mechanical equilibrium. This radial alignment disappears when cell contractility or cell-cell adhesion is reduced. Unlike monolayers of spindle-like cells such as NIH-3T3 fibroblasts with minimal intercellular interactions or epithelial cells like Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) with strong cortical actin network, confined REF monolayers present an actin gradient with isotropic meshwork, suggesting the existence of a stiffness gradient. In addition, the REF cells tend to condense on soft substrates, a collective cell behavior we refer to as the ‘condensation tendency’. This condensation tendency, together with geometrical confinement, induces tensile prestretch (i.e. an isotropic stretch that causes tissue to contract when released) to the confined monolayer. By developing a Voronoi-cell model, we demonstrate that the combined global tissue prestretch and cell stiffness differential between the inner and boundary cells can sufficiently define the cell radial alignment at the pattern boundary.
SMA-miRs (miR-181a-5p, -324-5p, and -451a) are overexpressed in spinal muscular atrophy skeletal muscle and serum samples

Published: September 2021

Background:

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the degeneration of the second motor neuron. The phenotype ranges from very severe to very mild forms. All patients have the homozygous loss of the SMN1 gene and a variable number of SMN2 (generally 2–4 copies), inversely related to the severity. The amazing results of the available treatments have made compelling the need of prognostic biomarkers to predict the progression trajectories of patients. Besides the SMN2 products, few other biomarkers have been evaluated so far, including some miRs.

Methods:

We performed whole miRNome analysis of muscle samples of patients and controls (14 biopsies and 9 cultures). The levels of muscle differentially expressed miRs were evaluated in serum samples (51 patients and 37 controls) and integrated with SMN2 copies, SMN2 full-length transcript levels in blood and age (SMA-score).

Results:

Over 100 miRs were differentially expressed in SMA muscle; 3 of them (hsa-miR-181a-5p, -324-5p, -451a; SMA-miRs) were significantly upregulated in the serum of patients. The severity predicted by the SMA-score was related to that of the clinical classification at a correlation coefficient of 0.87 (p<10-5).

Conclusions:

miRNome analyses suggest the primary involvement of skeletal muscle in SMA pathogenesis. The SMA-miRs are likely actively released in the blood flow; their function and target cells require to be elucidated. The accuracy of the SMA-score needs to be verified in replicative studies: if confirmed, its use could be crucial for the routine prognostic assessment, also in presymptomatic patients.

Insights into few shot learning approaches for image scene classification
Authors: Soudy Mohamed , Afify Yasmine , Badr Nagwa
Published: September 2021

Image understanding and scene classification are keystone tasks in computer vision. The development of technologies and profusion of existing datasets open a wide room for improvement in the image classification and recognition research area. Notwithstanding the optimal performance of exiting machine learning models in image understanding and scene classification, there are still obstacles to overcome. All models are data-dependent that can only classify samples close to the training set. Moreover, these models require large data for training and learning. The first problem is solved by few-shot learning, which achieves optimal performance in object detection and classification but with a lack of eligible attention in the scene classification task. Motivated by these findings, in this paper, we introduce two models for few-shot learning in scene classification. In order to trace the behavior of those models, we also introduce two datasets (MiniSun; MiniPlaces) for image scene classification. Experimental results show that the proposed models outperform the benchmark approaches in respect of classification accuracy.
Modeling time series by aggregating multiple fuzzy cognitive maps
Authors: Yu Tianming , Gan Qunfeng , Feng Guoliang
Published: September 2021

Background

The real time series is affected by various combinations of influences, consequently, it has a variety of variation modality. It is hard to reflect the variation characteristic of the time series accurately when simulating time series only by a single model. Most of the existing methods focused on numerical prediction of time series. Also, the forecast uncertainty of time series is resolved by the interval prediction. However, few researches focus on making the model interpretable and easily comprehended by humans.

Methods

To overcome this limitation, a new prediction modelling methodology based on fuzzy cognitive maps is proposed. The bootstrap method is adopted to select multiple sub-sequences at first. As a result, the variation modality are contained in these sub-sequences. Then, the fuzzy cognitive maps are constructed in terms of these sub-sequences, respectively. Furthermore, these fuzzy cognitive maps models are merged by means of granular computing. The established model not only performs well in numerical and interval predictions but also has better interpretability.

Results

Experimental studies involving both synthetic and real-life datasets demonstrate the usefulness and satisfactory efficiency of the proposed approach.

Looking back at the lawsuit that transformed the chiropractic profession part 3:Chiropractic growth
Authors: Johnson Claire D. , Green Bart N.
Published: September 2021

Objective

This is the third paper in a series that explores the historical events surrounding the Wilk v American Medical Association (AMA) lawsuit in which the plaintiffs argued that the AMA, the American Hospital Association, and other medical specialty societies violated antitrust law by restraining chiropractors' business practices. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review of the history of the growth of chiropractic, its public relations campaigns, and infighting that contributed to the events surrounding the Wilk v AMA lawsuit.

Methods

This historical research study used a phenomenological approach to qualitative inquiry into the conflict between regular medicine and chiropractic and the events before, during, and after a legal dispute at the time of modernization of the chiropractic profession. Our methods included obtaining primary and secondary data sources. The final narrative recount was developed into 8 papers following a successive timeline. This paper is the third of the series that explores the growth the chiropractic profession.

Results

By the 1930s, the AMA was already under investigation for violation of antitrust laws and the National Chiropractic Association was suggesting that the AMA was establishing a health care monopoly. Chiropractic schools grew and the number of graduates rose quickly. Public relations campaigns and publications in the popular press attempted to educate the public about chiropractic. Factions within the profession polarized around differing views of how they thought that chiropractic should be practiced and portrayed to the public. The AMA leaders noted the infighting and used it to their advantage to subvert chiropractic.

Conclusion

Chiropractic grew rapidly and established its presence with the American public through public relations campaigns and popular press. However, infighting would give the AMA material to further its efforts to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession.
Socio-economic Determinants of Rice Production Yield in Benin
Authors: Abdou-Raouf Parape Oto Issa , Janvier Assouni , Moussadikou Abdoulaye
Published: September 2021

This study aims to analyze the determinants of rice production yield in Benin. Data were collected in the central part of Benin, which includes the districts of Bantè, Dassa, Glazoué and Savalou. A total of 300 randomly selected rice producers were surveyed. The results indicate that the contract farming participation, membership in an innovation platform, and the location of the producer are the main determinants of rice yield. The design of policies to improve producer yield should focus primarily on these factors.
Effect of Seed Treatment with Chemicals and Plant Growth Regulators on Growth and Yield Attributing Traits of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) Variety: Pusa Bold
Authors: Prasad N. Syam , Rai Prashant Kumar , Dayal Abhinav
Published: September 2021

The Experiment was conducted in the field of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) during Rabi season 2020-2021, in order to standardize the suitable pre- sowing seed treatment for Mustard. Different pre- sowing seed treatments with control (Unhardened) were evaluated  viz., T0– Control,T1- Mg(No3)2 @ 0.1%,T2- Mg(No3)2 @ 0.3%,T3- Mg(No3)2 @ 0.5%,T4- Ca(No3)2 @ 0.1%,T5- KNO3 @ 0.5%,T6- Mg(So4)2 @ 0.1%,T7- Mg(So4)2 @ 0.3%,T8- Mg(So4)2 @ 0.5%,T9- GA3 @ 25ppm,T10- GA3 @ 50ppm,T11- GA3 @ 75ppm,T12- PEG6000 @ 25ppm. It was found that the all pre-sowing seed treatments showed significance difference with control. Seed treatment with KNO3 @ 0.5% found to be highest in field emergence and yield attributes of Mustard and it was followed by GA3 @ 25ppm and Mg(No3)2 @ 0.1%. Pre- sowing seed treatment with KNO3 @ 0.5% and GA3 @ 25 ppm showed maximum increase yield  of mustard seeds and found to be lowest in control seeds. Pre-sowing seed treatments of the mustard seeds in which KNO3 @ 0.5% gave best result to enhanced germinability, seed vigour, seed yield and yielding attributes. These conclusions are based on the results of six months investigation and therefore further investigation is needed to arrive at valid recommendations.
Influence of the Beneficial Microorganisms Bioformulations on the Soil Physicochemical Parameters and the Nutritional Profile of Abelmoschus Esculentus Cultivated in Cameroon
Authors: Alexis Zoa Parfait , Fotso . , Martial Tene Tayo , Pierre-François Djocgoue
Published: September 2021

Abelmoschus esculentus, a plant cultivated in tropical and temperate regions throughout the world, is highly appreciated for its various uses. Its culture encounters difficulties, particularly in Cameroon, due to soil infertility. In order to overcome this difficulty, the use of biological fertilizers in order to regenerate agricultural soils for more production is suggested. Three types of formulations were prepared after in vitro compatibilities tests, T1 (B. amyloliquefaciens and T. harzianum); T2 (B. velezensis and B. amyloliquefaciens) and T3 (B. velezensis and T. harzianum) with the aim of improving soil physicochemical; agromorphological and nutritional profile of okra. The plants were cultivated in 4.5 m² plots, arranged in complete randomized blocks design. ANOVA revealed significant differences between T1treatment and the other treatments and with the T0 control in plant height with the growth rate of 1.144cm/day, fruit length (11.53±0.49cm) and the average weight of fruits per treatment (1868.00±279.45g) at the significance level of P<0.05 (Tukey test). The productivity of treatment T1 per hectare (16.604±2.48t/ha) was highly significant compared to the other treatments and the control (8.53±1.49t/ha). Parameters such as disease resistance, leaf area and number of leaves were not significant between treatments but with the control. The values obtained with T1 treatment were high compared to the others. Regarding nutritional properties, the Na, K, Mg, Cu, Fe, Zn, carbohydrates and proteins contents were significantly increased compared to the control with contents values above the same okra variety. These different results may suggest the use of bioformulation with B. amyloliquefaciens and T. harzianum in order to improve soil fertility and to produce a sufficient quantity and quality of biofortified okra.
Action Research: What Can I Do to Improve the Reading Habits of Students?
Authors: Loday Dechen
Published: September 2021

Reading is critical to success both in school and life. It is a fundamental skill for children and adults alike. Like speech itself, it is the key to knowledge and opens up worlds. This action research aims to cultivate a reading habit of students. Uninterrupted Sustained Silent Reading (USSR) programme is the tool used to materialise this objective. The research samples are 21 students taken from Class IV of Gangrithang Primary School under Bumthang district. My experience in teaching and working at the Primary level for the last eighteen and half years as a teacher, made me to realized that student engagement particularly in reading books were not satisfactory as expected. This experience and realization has motivated me to take up an action research project to enhance reading habit of students. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview schedule were used as the instruments of data collection. Findings reveal that out of 21 sampling 17 students confirmed USSR and teacher modeling are the most effective measure that can promote reading habits among students.
OTIMIZAÇÃO DE SISTEMAS DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUA DE CHUVA PARA FINS DOMÉSTICOS EM ÁREAS RURAIS
Authors: Souza Ana Caroline Bastos Lima de , Araújo Juliana Farias , Gadéa Anderson de Souza Matos , Cohim Eduardo
Published: September 2021

Em virtude da importância do aproveitamento de água pluvial no Semiárido brasileiro, este artigo apresenta um método de otimização do dimensionamento de sistemas de captação e armazenamento de água de chuva (SCAC), além de um recurso simplificado de cálculo da área de captação e do volume ideal a partir de duas equações. A análise considerou as condições de atendimento de água da população rural baiana, e abrangeu dez cidades situadas em regiões específicas de homogeneidade pluviométrica. O procedimento consistiu na determinação de valores médios de Fração de Demanda (FD) e Fração de Reservação (FR)que fornecessem a combinação mais econômica de área de captação e volume de reservatório, capazes de atender a uma solicitação hídrica com pelo menos 95% de eficiência. Também se verificou uma forte relação positiva entre a demanda diária e as variáveis área e volume ótimos, sendo possível estimar esses valores por meio de equações que dependem apenas da demanda. Ao comparar os custos totais associados aos sistemas obtidos pelas frações médias e pelas equações com os custos totais ótimos de referência, foram encontrados para todos os municípios erros médios inferiores a 1,3%, validando a metodologia desenvolvida. Por meio do Grau de Concentração da Precipitação, verificou-se a influência da distribuição temporal das chuvas no dimensionamento dos reservatórios, sendo que quanto mais concentrado for o regime pluviométrico, maior será o volume ótimo de armazenamento. Por fim, os autores recomendam a ampliação do número de municípios em trabalhos futuros, com o intuito de fornecer uma representação mais realista das condições de cada local.

Authors: Gomes Gabriel Vielmo , Souza Maristela da Silva
Published: September 2021

Problematizamos o modelo de formação docente preconizado pós a implementação da BNCC, tendo por objetivo, investigar como a Resolução DCN-EF converge para a adequação curricular nos cursos de Educação Física. Para tanto, tecemos o diálogo entre a concepção hegemônica das políticas, os elementos das legislações e a concretude do trabalho docente. Concluímos que secundarizou-se o acesso ao conhecimento científico, privilegiou-se o desenvolvimento das competências/habilidades em situações práticas e na Educação Física perpetuou-se a fragmentação e a descaracterização da identidade epistemológica.
políticas educacionais e o processo de fechamento das escolas do campo no município de Casa Nova - BA
Authors: Amorim Franciel Coelho Luz de , Leite Maria Jorge dos Santos
Published: September 2021

O objetivo desse artigo é mapear as principais políticas educacionais e suas implicações à educação no campo. Abordamos o processo de fechamento das escolas do campo no município de Casa Nova - BA, considerando este um dos principais efeitos das políticas educacionais do Estado brasileiro direcionadas ao campo: as escolas foram reduzidas em quase 50%, de 2010 a 2018. A educação camponesa passou por um intenso processo de fechamento, o qual foi desencadeado a partir da política de transporte escolar, ainda na década de 1990, transformando-se, não em uma política propriamente de educação, mas em uma política de transporte (negócio), cujas velhas práticas locais e interesses privados sobrepõem-se à premissa da educação pública, gratuita e de qualidade. A análise em estudo ancora-se no materialismo histórico-dialético.
Determinación histórico-material de la evaluación escolar contemporánea
Authors: Remolina-Caviedes Juan-Francisco , Muñoz Palafox Gabriel Humberto
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar de manera crítica las determinaciones materiales de la relación evaluación-aprendizaje durante el desenvolvimiento histórico de la educación antigua, moderna y contemporánea, a partir de la matriz teórico-metodológica del Materialismo Histórico-Dialéctico. La tesis defendida sostiene que la evaluación escolar es consecuencia histórica de la ruptura de la unidad dialéctica entre práctica y teoría. Debido a tal dicotomía y a las bases materiales e ideológicas del actual modelo de producción y consumo, la evaluación educativa continúa siendo utilizada como mediación hegemónica entre poder, clasismo y conocimiento-habilidad

Analisamos as principais produções acadêmicas dos participantes que originaram o Círculo, buscando identificar potencialidades e limites dessa experiência na qualificação da formação docente.
A pedagogia da hegemonia: empresariado e a educação
Authors: Freitas Sara da Silva
Published: September 2021

O objetivo geral deste artigo foi compreender a ação socialmente responsável do setor empresarial no Brasil. Buscou-se compreender como o setor privado desenvolve suas ações no campo das políticas sociais. Assim, como objeto específico de análise temos as ações do Instituto Itaú Social, instituição vinculada ao Banco Itaú, a época desta pesquisa o maior banco privado do País. Como método utilizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com dirigentes do Itaú social, bem como pesquisamos os materiais disponíveis no site do Itaú Social. Como resultado destacamos que a política educacional no Brasil encontra-se num dilema, entre os interesses do empresariado e sua tentativa de se sobrepor a sociedade e de se estabelecer hegemônico, e aquele que prega uma educação como forma emancipadora.

Trabalho ontológico e educação omnilateral, sustentáculos da educação do campo
Authors: Sá Tânia Regina Braga Torreão , Torreão Sá Marcelo , Cristo Rejane Souza Ribeiro de
Published: September 2021

O artigo discute se já é possível supor a existência de integridade epistemológica da educação do campo, uma vez que, desde a sua criação (1999), essa teoria apresenta-se como conceito em construção. Em nossa opinião, essa integridade já foi construída, porém é necessário que sejamos esclarecidos sobre as opções estratégicas desta no percurso de sua afirmação. A justificativa para este texto, portanto, é a proposição de um esforço de atualização e de aprofundamento analítico que objetiva colocar o âmbito teórico da educação do campo em merecido destaque. No que se refere à metodologia, o caminho natural deste trabalho é calcar-se no ontométodo, que ajuda a pôr em vísceras a subjetividade e objetividade das práticas, de relações e embates supramencionadas
Conglomerado de aparelhos privados de hegemonia empresariais Lemann e sócios
Authors: Farias Adriana Medeiros
Published: September 2021

Diante da expansão do capital, que aprofunda a extração de mais-valor sob a expropriação de direitos e que exige a conformação da classe trabalhadora para a sociabilidade burguesa, o objetivo do artigo é analisar o conglomerado de aparelhos privados de hegemonia empresariais Lemann e sócios e suas intervenções na educação pública. O artigo se vincula a uma pesquisa documental, referenciada no materialismo histórico-dialético. A análise conclui que a Fundação Estudar, o Instituto Social para Motivar, Apoiar e Reconhecer Talentos e a Fundação Lemann são o núcleo originário do conglomerado que dirige as ações de hegemonia de forma orgânica e capilarizada, com a finalidade de generalizar concepções de educação e de mundo das frações empresariais da burguesia à classe trabalhadora.
“Agro acima de tudo, minério acima de todos”: as ameaças do Governo Bolsonaro às áreas legalmente protegidas na Amazônia
Authors: Santos Josiane Soares , Silva Everton Melo da
Published: September 2021

O artigo demonstra, através de revisão de literatura com análises no referencial marxiano e marxista, as atuais investidas do agronegócio e da atividade mineradora na região Amazônica sob o comando político do Governo Bolsonaro. A expropriação das terras e territórios de povos tradicionais é um dos traços do desenvolvimento econômico capitalista no Brasil. Com o aprofundamento da crise do capital este tem requerido escalas crescentes de apropriação de bens naturais, como o minério de potássio, produto fundamental na fabricação de fertilizantes utilizados de produção de commodities agrícolas. Esse processo configura uma das ameaças do Governo Bolsonaro a essas populações em detrimento de uma determinada concepção de desenvolvimento econômico.
Bioeconomia e financeirização dos riscos ambientais: formas capitalistas de enfrentamento da crise ambiental: a crítica
Authors: Monerat Julio Cesar Pereira
Published: September 2021

O artigo objetiva realizar uma análise crítica da forma de enfrentamento capitalista da crise ambiental que se concretiza sob a forma de ecologização do capital. Partindo do referencial bibliográfico marxiano e marxista, analisa duas dessas formas de ecologização do capital: a bioeconomia e a financeirização da crise ambiental. A crítica parte da caracterização da crise ambiental do capital e sua analogia com a crise do capital propriamente dita, chegando à definição de ecologização do capital. Na sequência apresentam-se criticamente as formas específicas de ecologização do capital, a saber: bioeconomia e financeirização da crise ambiental. O artigo encerra-se reforçando a apreensão da ecologização do capital tendo por referência sua potencialidade contratendencial à crise capitalista.
