Published: May 2023

Background

Internet addiction is a serious and growing problem. There is an emerging public health concern over the increase in Internet usage, particularly among adolescents.

Aim

The purpose of this study was to assess the pattern of Internet use among university students and to evaluate the personality and the associated psychiatric disorders with students of Internet addiction.

Participants and methods

A total of 300 medical students were subjected to the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) developed by Young in 1998. Personality evaluation by Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and psychiatric interview by Arabic version of Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview were done for Internet addicts to assess any associated personality or psychiatric disorders.

Results

Students were divided into four Internet user groups according to their IAT total scores: normal Internet users (n=117, 39.0%), mild Internet addicts (n=116, 38.7%), moderate Internet addicts (n=64, 21.3%), and severe Internet addicts (n=3, 1.0%). Males were more prone than females to develop severe forms of Internet addiction. Family environment had a major effect on developing Internet addiction. Neurotics and introverts were more susceptible to develop Internet addiction than others. Depression and anxiety were significantly associated with Internet addiction.

Conclusions

This study suggests that students who use the Internet excessively exhibit significantly more psychiatric symptoms than students who use the Internet less frequently. In addition, pathological Internet addicts appear to have a distinctive personality and social profile when compared with nonpathological users.

Published: May 2023

The industrial revolution in the agricultural sector is faced with demographic challenges (ageing), so intelligent technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and augmented reality are strategic choices. The application of information technology has a direct or indirect impact on Indonesia's agricultural sector, so coffee agribusiness cooperatives' information and communication technology (ICT) is also increasingly needed to respond to market demand. Along with the development of automation, physical, cyber systems and IoT, coffee cooperatives need to be ready and adapt to the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 in capturing market demand opportunities, value chains, and the added value of coffee agribusiness. ICT's presence can improve the performance and institutional sustainability of coffee farmers in rural areas, including cooperatives. Performance is a description of the achievement of organizational tasks to realize the goals, objectives, mission and vision of the organization and its business. The performance of the cooperative describes the services provided to its members and the community/farmers as measured by using indicators to see the working mechanism of the organization and its business that has been carried out and to determine the achievement of the objectives obtained. Meanwhile, the ability to innovate is essential, especially the use of ICT, which is deemed necessary to support the performance and sustainability of coffee cooperatives, so that cooperatives can compete, be stable, or survive in the era of increasing free competition. . Quantitative descriptive method with Linear Regression analysis was used to identify the effect of cooperative capability on the performance and sustainability of cooperatives in several coffee cooperatives in West Java. The study's results found that the power of the cooperative did not significantly affect the performance of the Coffee Cooperative. Still, the capability of the cooperative had a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of the Coffee Cooperative. At the same time, the performance of the cooperative has a positive and significant impact on the sustainability of the coffee cooperative. The ability of cooperatives has a positive and significant effect on sustainability mediated by the performance of the Coffee Cooperative in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This study recommends increasing the capabilities of cooperatives in membership, management, and business models to become sustainable cooperatives based on information technology to achieve added value from market-driven coffee products.
Todos a una. Propuesta de un instrumento para medir los niveles de eficacia colectiva en España
Authors: Maldonado Guzmán Diego Jesus
Published: May 2023

La eficacia colectiva es un término que se refiere a la capacidad diferencial de las comunidades locales para ejercer mecanismos adecuados de control social informal. Los autores de dicho constructo defendieron que en la eficacia colectiva reside la principal fuerza social responsable de que las tasas delictivas varíen entre los vecindarios. A pesar de que existen evidencias de que la eficacia colectiva es un predictor estable del delito, en España no se ha comprobado si los ítems usados para medirla muestran una estructura similar a la obtenida en el contexto estadounidense. El presente trabajo explora si los ítems clásicos de la escala diseñada por Sampson et al. (1997) para medir la eficacia colectiva mantienen una consistencia interna, y si estos muestran una estructura factorial que permite agruparlos en las dimensiones propuestas por el modelo teórico estadounidense. La escala final se compone de catorce ítems y es aplicada a un total de 590 residentes de la ciudad de Barcelona mediante encuesta telefónica. Los resultados sugieren una elevada consistencia interna del instrumento de medida, y el análisis factorial exploratorio agrupa a los ítems en tres dimensiones: cohesión social, expectativas compartidas de acción común y capacidad de control social. Estas dimensiones, en conjunto, explican más del 64% de la varianza en los niveles de eficacia colectiva.

Published: May 2023

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rare neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease that leads to disability and a significant decrease in the quality of life. Over the past decade, the focus of studies of MS disease-modifying therapies (DMT) in adults have significantly changed to highly effective drugs at the early stages of the disease; in pediatric patients, safer, but less effective DMTs are preferred.
Today, only two DMTs (fingolimod and teriflunomide) investigated over large phase III studies were approved by regulatory authorities for use in children.
In recent years, an increasing number of MS children have been receiving highly effective therapy with drugs such as natalizumab, monoclonal antibodies to CD20, monoclonal antibodies to CD52, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These highly effective methods of treatment provide a significant reduction in the inflammatory activity of the disease compared to the first-line DMTs. Therefore, a number of phase II and III studies are currently conducted to assess their efficacy and safety in MS children.
This review is related to the basic treatment of MS in pediatric patients, the study of the efficacy and safety of the currently available drugs.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: The most frequent issue among workers who perform repetitive upper extremity activity in their line of work is neck pain. Hairdressers who cut hair frequently use their shoulders in their picking and holding of the scissors. The muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system are put under more strain by this repetitive activity. Consequently, the objective of the current study is to ascertain, how prevalent neck pain is among hairdressers. The study’s objective is to determine the frequency of neck pain in hairdressers of Multan.

Methodology: Cross-sectional study design was employed in this investigation. Information was gathered from Multan hairdressers.  The technique of simple random sampling was used to gather the data from hairdressers. A total of 100 hair stylists were included in the study. Workers between the ages of 20 and 40 who have been employed for more than six months without a neck injury, trauma, or neurological or musculoskeletal problem were included. Participants were given questionnaires, and the answers were recorded. Data was manually coded, entered, and analysed using SPSS version 21. Results were described using frequency distributions, percentages, means, and standard deviations.

Findings:  Non Parametric Test was used to analyze data. In this study, only 44% of hairdressers reported having neck pain, while the rest reported mild, moderate, or no pain. The study demonstrates that hairdressers between the ages of 31 and 40 with more than five years of experience in their field frequently experience neck pain, which may be brought on by repetitive shoulder motion and poor posture at the workplace.

Recommendations: The results of this study showed that hairdressers in Multan frequently experience neck pain. Physiotherapy campaigns should be conducted to raise awareness among hairdressers. It is suggested to use a random sampling technique instead of convenience sampling in future research to enhance the generalizability of the findings. Considering that the study had a short duration, it is advisable to allocate a longer time frame for conducting future studies to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.

Energy production methods are changing all over the world to tackle climate change. This situation will inevitably be reflected in Turkey as well. In this regard, the main purpose of the research is to examine and introduce the just transition, which is a prominent and contemporary approach for possible coal phase-out experiences in settlements that are economically and socially dependent on coal. An overview of climate change and carbon-intensive sectors, coal mining's role in energy production, and coal phase-out policy objectives is presented in the first part of the article. Then, presented in the following are general information about the role of coal in energy production in Turkey, as well as settlements that are economically and socially dependent on coal. After providing an overview of the just transition approach and its objectives, suggestions are made for Turkey in the conclusion. Several measures can be taken to minimize the negative effects on groups involved in coal-dependent settlements and vulnerable groups as a result of possible transformation.
The role of vernacular architecture in the future cities
Authors: Rosaleny-Gamón Marcel·lí
Published: May 2023

The increase in the world population and Climate Change already represent two of the most important challenges that humanity has faced throughout its history. In this sense, the human settlements of the future must find a way to solve the problems derived from these challenges while guaranteeing the development of the communities and the well-being of their inhabitants. Given the global awareness of the need to propose new forms of development, architecture and urbanism have worked on different models of change that can respond to the needs of humanity on a planet of finite resources. Vernacular architecture and its settlements have become a source of knowledge and a lesson in sustainability when facing the challenges of the future. Its ways of life and its principles emerge as teachings to incorporate into contemporary architecture in relation to the four axes of sustainability: environmental, economic, social and cultural sustainability.
Citizenship as an active subject for recovery of the heritage of social housing in Modern Movement at Valencian Community, Spain

Published: May 2023

Given the complexity of the heritage project and current urban regeneration processes, citizen participation, as central point for good governance and sustainability, is of vital importance. Contributing to the knowledge of architecture of social housing in the Modern Movement requires an approach to social reality of its residents, identifying and recognizing the living heritage values from social perception and practice.  That is why accession of residents as active subjects in this process is essential, but also for subsequent elaboration of strategies for revitalization, updating and sustainable recovery, environmental and social, which will not affect the preservation of existing values in this historical-cultural heritage of our cities.  Likewise, participatory processes in this field of work have, at the same time, a pedagogical task, in the way of publicizing values of modern heritage in order to achieve its recognition and appreciation by society. This paper presents the approach from field of citizen participation and potential participatory methodologies that guide the research work, specifically, within the framework of the Momovivso research project, focused on possibilities of recovery and conservation of social housing of the Modern Movement in the Valencian Community, Spain.ain.

This communication is developed within the activities of the project funded by the Valencian Regional Government “The heritage consideration of the social Modern Movement’s public housing. The Virgen del Carmen group, revitalization, and energetic updating (MOMOvivso). In this project, a Modern Movement heritage social housing research is proposed to progress in the preservation of this architecture. Accordingly, a methodological model is made and applied to Valencia’s 614 housing estate, placed in the suburb zone named “El Cabañal”. This residential complex was designed by the architects Fernando M. García-Ordóñez and Juan M. Dexeus Beatty, and it was built between 1958 and 1962. It was developed under the new social housing regulatory framework, which considers different configurations, as well as new constructive techniques, aimed at standardizing the quality of their systems and components and improving the dwelling’s indoor comfort.The present communication is a summary of the analysis process leading to ideation of a comprehensive methodology for the buildings envelope characterization which has been performed under the referred regulatory framework and applied to different types of buildings. For this purpose, three action lines have been proposed: analysis of documentation and contemporary regulations, an inspection report with the visits carried out, and the envelope non-destructive testing.

Authors: Acosta Medina Dayana Teresa , Quintana-Gallardo Alberto , Guillén-Guillamón Ignacio
Published: May 2023

The accelerated growth of cities entails challenges in all sectors, and specifically, it has a close relationship with the construction sector. The Dominican Republic is a country where urban growth is increasing considerably, representing a problem of great magnitude in terms of the construction of social housing to reduce the housing deficit. In the social housing projects in Santo Domingo, the energy conditions are non-existent. There are no previous studies on the thermal comfort of those buildings. For this reason, this study seeks to analyze thermal comfort and energy efficiency in these types of housing through an energy simulation.The energy simulation is carried out through OpenStudio, which uses the Energy Plus calculation engine. A type of model was analyzed for the determination of temperatures and ranges of thermal comfort to evaluate its behavior for 24 hours in different months. The calculations obtained from the energy consumption due mainly to the variation of the comfort temperature indicate that the temperature variation is very similar in the selected months, with a maximum temperature of 27.3ºC in the hottest month and a minimum temperature of 26 .8ºC in the coldest month. Finally, due to the warm climate that prevails in the area, a high comfort temperature is recorded in these types of dwellings. To improve the comfort conditions in this type of dwelling, it is necessary to add thermal insulation and control the solar gains effectively.

Published: May 2023

The conservation of Modern Movement architecture as a built architectural heritage requires also its renovation to reach today's standards of comfort and efficiency. It is even more necessary when it is still in use, as in the case of residential architecture. Moreover, it is a living heritage that, to be understood holistically, requires consideration of the experiences of its inhabitants. The Virgen del Carmen Group in Valencia is a residential complex designed and built by GO-DB Arquitectos between 1958 and 1963, and included in the DOCOMOMO Ibérico database. This architectural complex has been taken as an object of study to analyse the interpretation of its past based on exhaustive historical and archival research. This is the necessary first step towards its heritage consideration on which its future revitalisation and energy upgrading will be supported. This paper will detail the main results of the historical and archival research carried out. The changes and transformations, that the Virgen del Carmen Group has undergone over the years, have been evidenced by comparing the original project, the renovation projects, and its current state.To this end, the documents kept in the main national archives and those of the Valencian Community and the city of Valencia were consulted, as well as various historical photographic, newspaper and video sources.

Integration of rural architectural heritage: The case of the alquerías in northern Valencia
Authors: Baró Zarzo José Luis , Calvignac Daphné Grosselin , Debailleux Laurent
Published: May 2023

This work deals with the conservation and integration of the so-called “alquerías”, the traditional rural houses scattered in the historical agricultural landscape of the Huerta de Valencia, which has been surrounding this Spanish city for centuries. The first alquerías were built during the Medieval Muslim period, for farming and housing purposes. Their uses have been evolving throughout history, following the agriculture and cultural changes, thus resulting in a great diversity of shapes, sizes and types. Today, these buildings are considered as an important part of the local heritage of Valencia, testifying of the traditional way of life and construction. However, the urban growth and modern lifestyle have not been always respectful towards the alquerías: many of them have been demolished to make way for new neighborhoods. Others have been sadly abandoned and left in a state of ruin. Cases of absorption have experienced unequal situations, from forced accommodation to full integration. In general, the remaining alquerías are threatened and require protection actions, as well as a quality integration to the urban fabric in order to prevent their deterioration, marginalization and even destruction.This research work consists in an analytical study of the alquerías of four northern districts of Valencia –Benicalap, Rascanya, La Saïdia and Benimaclet– aiming at providing an insight of the current situation regarding the issue of rural heritage integrated into urban fabrics. General conclusions will be extracted from a statistical study of the collected data, and highlights will be given to the good practices’ cases as potential solutions for the future integration projects.

Published: May 2023

Existing educational buildings built with old normatives suffer a lack of technology, eventhough they are the frame of reference for our future society’s architects(/builders). These buildings, usually promoted by the public sector, don’t have significant economic investment, even if they are going to affect our children’s world perception. The object construction of this study is a building from1978. It has an educational use located at the Pamplona campus of the Universidad de Navarra. The building is part of the Living Lab of the Campus, where technologies, solutions and strategies can be proved It is a protected building by the “Documentation and Conservation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods of the Modern Movement” (Do. Co,Mo.Mo.), so all actions that can affect its aesthetic aspects need to be justified because of the value of the building.The methodology presented concerns the development of a replicable technical, constructive, and economical feasibility model to reach an off-grid disconnection of an existing building. The steps followed for this study are classified in seven main steps. This proposal aims to define a replicable solution that is going to be applied to other buildings of campus Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona.Even that the first solution is going to be limited by the aesthetic aspect, the final objective is to develop a Plug & Play solution following the methodology, answering the energetical deficiency and complexity of existing constructions.
Architecture of essences: the revealing abstraction of the tobacco landscape
Authors: García Nofuentes Juan Francisco , Martínez-Ramos e Iruela Roser
Published: May 2023

The architecture targeted by this study, born to shelter and allow the process of organic transformation of the harvested tobacco leaf, is unequivocally identified with a defined chronology and territory. The tobacco drying sheds of the Vega of Granada have shaped, for more than sixty years and until today, the landscape framework of a region that has historically played a decisive role in this large area that is home to a total of forty-one municipalities. Based on the scientific procedure that guides the systematic organisation of landscape studies, we establish a comparative analysis using the so-called morphological method of synthesis; a characteristic empirical practice that allows the enforcement of an inductive analytical procedure for an exact approximation to the landscape, to the time and to the permanence of form as an indispensable requirement of identity.  As for the architecture of models and prototypes, we conclude with the architectural characterization of one of the three reference complexes in the province, constituted by one of the most representative models of industrial architecture that is configured on the basis of the essential or invariant in time and space. Geometry acquires prominence, and the material condition of the prototypes loses its relevance in benefit of the relationships that become important as formal configurators of the architectural process.
Measuring Gentrification in the Russafa Neighborhood
Authors: Llorca Ponce Alicia , Rius-Sorolla Gregorio
Published: May 2023

Gentrification is a global phenomenon, affecting a large number of cities. It involves the displacement of neighbourhood resident by new residents of a higher socioeconomic status. This article aims to highlight the characteristics of the phenomenon in the Russafa neighbourhood, in the city of Valencia. The paper focuses on two aspects: changes in the socioeconomic characteristics of the resident population and physical changes in the housing stock. The data were collected from the Population and Housing Census, the Municipal Register of Inhabitants and other statistical information compiled by the Valencia City Council. The neighbourhood’s socioeconomic status is approximated through three variables: educational level, vehicle fleet and income, based on the analysis of housing prices. The results obtained show physical and social transformations typical of gentrification phenomena. On the one hand, from the physical point of view, the data indicates that an important real estate activity of renovation, rehabilitation and construction of new housing is carried out. On the other hand, the results indicate that at the end of the analysed period, the socioeconomic level of the population has increased considerably. Thus, the paper supports previous approaches in the literature on the effects of gentrification.
Vegetation and the construction of space
Authors: De Marco Paolo
Published: May 2023

In the last century, the architectural renewal proposed by the functionalist ideal of the livingmachine placed the architectural object in a context, establishing perceptive relations with it but remaining substantially distinct. Although in some cases the vegetation was incorporated into the architecture for the definition of some internal open spaces, it is necessary to wait for a revision of these principles to find new research for a deep interaction between natural and artificial space (an ecosystem architecture-nature).After these experiences, the focus on vegetation has decreased, returning to be a central theme of contemporary research, especially in response to the complex crisis and pandemic underway that has defined new qualitative and quantitative priorities for domestic space and cities.The contemporary debate about the relationship between built space and vegetation has often been devoted to the urban scale and the external and public dimensions of buildings. At the scale of architecture, the presence of vegetation is often evaluated from the point of view of environmental comfort and for its use in energy strategies.In response to the new needs of living and building (for a truly integrated and sustainable environment), the contribution aims to offer a reflection on vegetation as an architectural and spatial component (mainly in areas with medium-high population density) whose presence acts as an element of structuring and sorting the project. In the desirable change of priorities, the contribution aims to offer a reflection on the theme through a framework of the role of vegetation as a material of the project, making use of different experiences, reporting case studies, and analyzing the use of vegetation concerning the multiple issues of space. The contribution, therefore, elaborates good practices, in order to define ideas and rules for the role of vegetation in contemporary architectural space.
Growing fast, innovating slowly. Informal Ahmedabad between past and future
Authors: Tognon Alisia , Paisana Felix Mariana
Published: May 2023

The fast urban development in India is making evident many social, cultural, and economic complexities reproduced in the city's planning and design. The drive for modernization is becoming the central topic in the national and political debate and becomes more urgent every day. Among these contexts, urban fabrics in-between developing cities, heritage roots, "smart city" missions and "kinetic" cities constitute a framework for research on morphological, functional, social and environmental perspectives. This paper investigates contested locations in Ahmedabad, where informality finds space between heritage structures and recent beautification projects, such as the Sabarmati riverfront. The paper understands how a holistic approach is essential in rethinking and upgrading the spatial and urban conditions of informal settlements in the city and therefore highlights the relevance of adequate lenses to understand these complexities.   Like many other cities in India, living in slums or informal settlements is a common phenomenon in Ahmedabad, as they provide affordable housing close to job opportunities. In 2009, AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) identified 834 slums, sheltering 23 per cent of the total population of the city. Several conditions and features characterize these settlements since their communities are often from the same region, class, caste, or religion.  This paper will analyze case studies in Ahmedabad, where the friction between informality, preservation of heritage structures and new smart city developments is evident. The paper will question various assumptions regarding the informal environment and analyze their cultural and architectural identities, the domestication of heritage structures, and vulnerability within the idea of a smart and globalized Ahmedabad.
Sustainable design perspectives for heritages’ reconstruction
Authors: Tolve Valerio , Raffa Alessandro
Published: May 2023

Natural disasters and conflicts effects, on a large scale, on communities and their heritages, together with the semantic expansion and democratization of the concept of heritage itself, have determined recently a shifting attitude towards the idea of reconstruction. The contribution, moving through theoretical positions and operational experiences, intends to explore the role and perspectives of design for heritages’ reconstruction, framing this crucial issue between contemporary urgencies and sustainable development scenarios promoted by the Agenda 2030 and its SDG. The intense ongoing debate, also in the design disciplines, shows the need for a reflection on reconstruction, seen, without prejudice, as a design possibility for communities to imagine different forms of existence for their destroyed heritages. But also, to understand approaches, methods, tools and ways through which the project shapes reconstruction. Through a series of emblematic case studies, which move between re-building and re-constructing and their reciprocal overlaps, this contribution will also highlight the "order of similarities" that each reconstruction project interprets within a sustainable development framework. Both built an un-built projects will be presented as possible references to orient a debate and a critical reflection on contemporary heritage reconstruction, seen as strategical for heritage enhancement and an opportunity for promoting sustainable development for places and communities.The proposal for the International competition on the Buffer zone of the UNESCO site of Villa Adriana will be presented as a design experimentation, showing how sustainability could inform design strategies for reconstruction according to global agendas.

It is difficult to say what Restoration is today and what place it occupies among the disciplines of architecture, in the fields of education, research and profession. Equally complex is to delimit the concept of Cultural Heritage, which is increasingly extended and differentiated by scale, types of artefacts, age of formation, etc. Furthermore, it is increasingly subject to risks of various kinds that cast doubts on its survival and transmission to the future. On the other hand, we still live in a "liquid" and ever faster changing contemporaneity, according to Zygmunt Bauman, while for the philosopher Umberto Garimberti it would be almost "cemented" and blocked (Palese 2014). Our relationship with the traces of the many pasts that preceded us cannot ignore this fragile, uncertain, but also open nature of the time we live and those that await us. Marc Augè, in this regard, questioned about the two great ways of relating to the future in different human societies - one that makes the future a consequence of the past: the intrigue, the other that makes it a birth: the inauguration - which find their institutional and cultural expressions (Augé 2012, 14). Even the ways in which each era and each community have lived, recognized, interpreted, preserved, or innovated their own built heritage of cultural interest and value seem to be attributable to the metaphorical figures of “intrigue” and “inauguration”. Many protagonists of the life of our cities, landscapes, and territories, on the other hand, now claim the right/duty to act on that heritage, often generating radical conflicts between different ideal and operational visions and perspectives and, at times, irreversible losses of its "relevant parts”. The contribution therefore proposes an ideal reflection on these themes and similar perspectives, also with reference to current events and concrete and operational situations at the local scale but not only.
Learning (in/from/the) city: reconfiguration of urban space into a sustainable ‘macro-school’
Authors: Alegre Alexandra , Raikidou Evangelia
Published: May 2023

This paper intends to intertwine the fields of educational space, architecture and urban design, as well as sustainable development, and it is grounded in two main arguments. The first argument is that in recent decades there have been trends of breaking boundaries between independent spatial units within the school building, as well as within the planning/design process, with the ultimate goal of opening the educational environment to public space and public debate. Consequently, as the urban environment is progressively recognised as a canvas of multiple learning experiences, open-air space is approached as an environmental tool for informal/non-formal education and sustainability. The breaking of spatial boundaries within the school building to outdoor spaces and the city renders the city as a sustainable ‘macro-school’. This discussion is theoretically framed in the educational perspective about the relationship between education and the city defended by Trilla (1993); the city as a context for education; as a medium for education; and as an educational subject; and in the dimensions mentioned by Palmer (2002): education about, in and for the environment. Thus, open-air learning space is explored as a tool of environmental education, through participatory planning processes, the co-creation of liveable urban spaces, and their use for spatial literacy, socialisation, environmental action and bottom-up activism. The interpretation of a set of examples of individual urban sites, that cover a diversity of purposes and geographies, brings some insights into this debate and enables us to understand how urban space is being reconfigured into a sustainable 'macro-school'.

A importância das diversas formas de apropriação de conhecimento e de procedimentos didático-metodológicos construídos com a formação continuada de professores se materializa no exercício pleno da docência e na relação diária do ensino-aprendizagem por eles estabelecida. Nesse sentido, verificamos, através de questões discursivas encaminhadas via redes sociais e analisadas através da Análise de Conteúdo, em que medida (como) essa formação ofertada pelo Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Biologia (PROFBIO) contribui para a melhoria da atuação profissional docente de mestrandos do programa ao aplicarem saberes e procedimentos didáticos então fundamentados e exercitados. Em seus relatos, os docentes destacam mudanças pela maior apropriação de recursos e de estratégias, com enfoque nos procedimentos investigativos, acrescidos de saberes do campo científico, com relatos de experiência que estão sendo socializados como prática de disseminação do conhecimento construído. Dessa maneira, atestam a ocorrência de mudanças que ressignificaram suas práticas docentes.

Published: May 2023

Estudos destacam o Ensino de Ciências por Investigação (ENCI) para aumentar o protagonismo dos estudantes nas aulas de Ciências, e salientam a necessidade de aperfeiçoar essa abordagem, estudando inclusive as perguntas em sala de aula. Por isso, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a estruturação de perguntas dos estudantes dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental visando a Alfabetização Científica no contexto do ENCI. No percurso metodológico, utilizamos a perspectiva bakhtiniana para analisar perguntas dos estudantes em uma aula inserida de uma Sequência de Ensino Investigativo (SEI). Como resultados, destacamos uma classificação de perguntas que pode potencializar a investigação no ensino de Ciências. Além disso, o fomento aos estudantes para elaborarem suas próprias perguntas, seja com a leitura, a oralidade ou a escrita, favorece sua curiosidade, proporcionando maiores interações entre si e compreendendo que aprender a perguntar está profundamente relacionado com as habilidades desenvolvidas no contexto do ENCI. Isso favorece uma compreensão de mundo essencial para investigar problemas e ampliar a criticidade.
How Bullying Can Happen ? Systematic Literature Review of Bullying at the Elementary School Level
Authors: Ruslan Zuhri , Rezkiani Kiki
Published: May 2023

Many child abuse cases have gotten attention lately because of the high frequency of occurrence and severity of the cases. This study aims to investigate incidents before and when the bullying happened, the role of schools and parents in bullying, and how to stop bullying. The research method employed was a systematic literature review. The research revealed that bullying happens when there is a lack of teacher supervision and the victim has often been bullied. The bully is often bigger, older, in numbers, and attacks suddenly. The role of parents is to behave after receiving reports of bullying from children. In order to prevent bullying from happening, a program against bullying (anti-bullying) needs to be introduced in schools. The program should target all layers, namely, the students, teachers, staff in the school environment, and parents. The more anti-bullying programs are launched, the more effective they will be in preventing the recurrence of bullying cases.
