Authors: Bijani Masoud , Hayati Dariush , Azadi Hossein , Tanaskovik Vjekoslav , Witlox Frank
Published: August 2020

This study aimed to analyze the causes and consequences of agricultural water conflicts among agricultural water beneficiaries in the irrigation network of Doroodzan dam, Iran. This research applied mixed-method and descriptive analysis, which was done in two qualitative and quantitative phases. The results showed that the causes of water conflicts can be divided into two groups of controllable and uncontrollable factors. The findings revealed that the main causes of agricultural water conflict in the studied area were ‘water scarcity’, ‘drought’, ‘physical structure of the Doroodzan dam irrigation network’, and ‘mismatched size of the irrigation network with Doroodzan dam’s water capacity’ as uncontrollable factors. Furthermore, ‘weakness of governmental water management’, ‘lake for local management of water resources by farmers’, ‘government’s reluctance about farmers’ participation’, and ‘farmers’ reluctance to participate in water management’ were identified as controllable factors. In this study, most of the conditions identified as consequences of water conflicts had ‘socio-economic’ and ‘agro-environmental’ aspects. Finally, based on the findings, a model was designed to determine the causes and consequences of agricultural water conflict. To break the causes and consequences cycle of water conflicts in Iran’s agriculture, the most important solution is shifting from governmentality to governance in water resources management.

Authors: Nota Giancarlo , Nota Francesco David , Peluso Domenico , Toro Lazo Alonso
Published: August 2020

We derived a promising approach to reducing the energy consumption necessary in manufacturing processes from the combination of management methodologies and Industry 4.0 technologies. Based on a literature review and experts’ opinions, this work contributes to the efficient use of energy in batch production processes combining the analysis of the overall equipment effectiveness with the study of variables managed by cyber-physical production systems. Starting from the analysis of loss cause identification, we propose a method that obtains quantitative data about energy losses during the execution of batch processes. The contributions of this research include the acquisition of precise information about energy losses and the improvement of value co-creation practices so that energy consumption can be reduced in manufacturing processes. Decision-makers can use the findings to start a virtuous process aiming at carbon footprint and energy costs reductions while ensuring production goals are met.
Research on Annual Thermal Environment of Non-Hvac Building Regulated by Window-to-Wall Ratio in a Chinese City (Chenzhou)

Published: August 2020

As the window-to-wall ratio, a microclimatic factor in residential districts, regulates the indoor thermal environment and implicates the energy consumption, this research was aimed at interpreting the microclimate effects of the window-to-wall ratio on the indoor thermal environment of the non-Hvac building located in the block from the view of a full year. Urban built parameters and building material parameters applied in Chenzhou were investigated, with the ENVI-met model serving as the analytical tool calculating the meteorological data recorded in the local national meteorological station. The thermal perception criterion of Chenzhou citizens was investigated, and thermal isotherms were employed to interpret the thermal perception distribution throughout the year. Analytical results revealed that the annual indoor thermal environment would deteriorate along with the growth of the window-to-wall ratio in Chenzhou, with the very hot thermal perception environment covering the months from March to October once the window-to-wall ratio outnumbered 60.00%. Furthermore, the hot and very hot thermal perception environments originated in the ranges of 0.00% to 20.00% and that of 20.00% to 40.00%, respectively. Furthermore, if the window-to-wall ratios (WWRs) outnumbered 40%, their effects on the indoor thermal perception environment would gradually decrease and be powerless once that exceeded 80%.

Published: August 2020

Cobra snakes, including Naja mossambica and Naja nigricincta nigricincta, are one of the major groups of snakes responsible for snakebites in southern Africa, producing significant cytotoxicity and tissue damage. The venom of N. mossambica has been briefly characterised, but that of N. n. nigricincta is not reported. The current study identifies the venom proteins of N. mossambica and N. n. nigricincta. This is achieved using sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel eletrophroresis (PAGE), followed by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Most of the proteins were less than 17 kDa in both snakes. N. mossambica was found to have 75 proteins in total (from 16 protein families), whereas N.n. nigricincta had 73 (from 16 protein families). Of these identified proteins, 57 were common in both snakes. The proteins identified belonged to various families, including the three-finger toxins (3FTx), Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRiSP), Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and Venom metalloproteinase M12B (SVMP). The current study contributes to the profile knowledge of snake venom compositions, which is of fundamental value in understanding the proteins that play a major role in envenomation.
FLAVi: An Enhanced Annotator for Viral Genomes of Flaviviridae

Published: August 2020

Responding to the ongoing and severe public health threat of viruses of the family Flaviviridae, including dengue, hepatitis C, West Nile, yellow fever, and Zika, demands a greater understanding of how these viruses emerge and spread. Updated phylogenies are central to this understanding. Most cladograms of Flaviviridae focus on specific lineages and ignore outgroups, hampering the efficacy of the analysis to test ingroup monophyly and relationships. This is due to the lack of annotated Flaviviridae genomes, which has gene content variation among genera. This variation makes analysis without partitioning difficult. Therefore, we developed an annotation pipeline for the genera of Flaviviridae (Flavirirus, Hepacivirus, Pegivirus, and Pestivirus, named “Fast Loci Annotation of Viruses” (FLAVi; http://flavi-web.com/), that combines ab initio and homology-based strategies. FLAVi recovered 100% of the genes in Flavivirus and Hepacivirus genomes. In Pegivirus and Pestivirus, annotation efficiency was 100% except for one partition each. There were no false positives. The combined phylogenetic analysis of multiple genes made possible by annotation has clear impacts over the tree topology compared to phylogenies that we inferred without outgroups or data partitioning. The final tree is largely congruent with previous hypotheses and adds evidence supporting the close phylogenetic relationship between dengue and Zika.

Members of Sphingomonas genus have gained a notable interest for their use in a wide range of biotechnological applications, ranging from bioremediation to the production of valuable compounds of industrial interest. To date, knowledge on phages targeting Sphingomonas spp. are still scarce. Here, we describe and characterize a lytic bacteriophage, named vB_StuS_MMDA13, able to infect the Sphingomonas turrisvirgatae MCT13 type strain. Physiological characterization demonstrated that vB_StuS_MMDA13 has a narrow host range, a long latency period, a low burst size, and it is overall stable to both temperature and pH variations. The phage has a double-stranded DNA genome of 63,743 bp, with 89 open reading frames arranged in two opposite arms separated by a 1186 bp non-coding region and shows a very low global similarity to any other known phages. Interestingly, vB_StuS_MMDA13 is endowed with an original nucleotide modification biosynthetic gene cluster, which greatly differs from those of its most closely related phages of the Nipunavirus genus. vB_StuS_MMDA13 is the first characterized lytic bacteriophage of the Siphoviridae family infecting members of the Sphingomonas genus.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a prototypic arenavirus. The function of untranslated regions (UTRs) of the LCMV genome has not been well studied except for the extreme 19 nucleotide residues of both the 5′ and 3′ termini. There are internal UTRs composed of 58 and 41 nucleotide residues in the 5′ and 3′ UTRs, respectively, in the LCMV S segment. Their functional roles have yet to be elucidated. In this study, reverse genetics and minigenome systems were established for LCMV strain WE and the function of these regions were analyzed. It was revealed that nucleotides 20–40 and 20–38 located downstream of the 19 nucleotides in the 5′ and 3′ termini, respectively, were involved in viral genome replication and transcription. Furthermore, it was revealed that the other internal UTRs (nucleotides 41–77 and 39–60 in the 5′ and 3′ termini, respectively) in the S segment were involved in virulence in vivo, even though these regions did not affect viral growth capacity in Vero cells. The introduction of LCMV with mutations in these regions attenuates the virus and may enable the production of LCMV vaccine candidates.

Influenza vaccination can be less effective in patients treated with immunosuppressive therapy. However, little is known about the effects of ustekinumab; an anti-IL-12/23 agent used to treat Crohn’s disease (CD), on vaccination response. In this prospective study, we assessed immune responses to seasonal influenza vaccination in CD patients treated with ustekinumab compared to CD patients treated with anti-TNFα therapy (adalimumab) and healthy controls. Humoral responses were assessed with hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) assays. Influenza-specific total CD3+, CD3+CD4+, and CD3+CD8+ T-cell responses were measured with flow cytometry. Fifteen patients treated with ustekinumab; 12 with adalimumab and 20 healthy controls were vaccinated for seasonal influenza in September 2018. Seroprotection rates against all vaccine strains in the ustekinumab group were high and comparable to healthy controls. Seroconversion rates were comparable, and for A/H3N2 highest in the ustekinumab group. HI titers were significantly higher in the ustekinumab group and healthy controls than in the adalimumab group for the B/Victoria strain. Post-vaccination T-cell responses in the ustekinumab group were similar to healthy controls. One-month post-vaccination proliferation of CD3+CD8+ T-cells was highest in the ustekinumab group. In conclusion, ustekinumab does not impair immune responses to inactivated influenza vaccination. Therefore, CD patients treated with ustekinumab can be effectively vaccinated for seasonal influenza.

Published: August 2020

This study introduces an approach of combining Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and ensemble Methods in order to classify and predict the efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMU). The approach includes applying DEA in the first stage to compute the efficiency score for each DMU, then a variables’ ranker was utilized to extract the most important variables that affect the DMU’s performance, then J48 was adopted to build a classifier whose outcomes will be enhanced by Diverse Ensemble Creation by Oppositional Relabeling of Artificial Training Examples (DECORATE) Ensemble method. To examine the approach, this study utilizes a dataset from firms’ financial statements that are listed on Amman Stock Exchange. The dataset was preprocessed and turned out to include 53 industrial firms for the years 2012 to 2015.The dataset includes 11 input variables and 11 output ratios. The examination of financial variables and ratios play a vital role in the financial analysis practice. This paper shows that financial variable and ratio averages are points of reference to evaluate and measure firms’ future financial performance as well as that of other similar firms in the same sector. In addition, the results of this work are for comparative analyses of the financial performance of the industrial sector
De Korte rijmkroniek van Vlaanderen (1431) Middeleeuwse geschiedenis op een affiche
Authors: Sleiderink Remco
Published: August 2020

Handschrift G 13860 van de Universiteitsbibliotheek Gent is een boekrol van ca. 2,5 meter. De roi is momenteel opgebouwd uit vier stroken van telkens twee kolommen. De auteur van deze bijdrage toont dat de oorspron-kelijke vorm een perkamenten affiche was (ca. 700 x 580 mm) met daarop acht kolommen. De tekst is een kroniek over de geschiedenis van Vlaanderen in ruim achthonderd Middelnederlandse verzen. Op basis van dit Gentse handschrift levert deze bijdrage de editio princeps van deze Korte rijmkroniek van Vlaanderen. Ook wordt aandacht geschonken aan een fragment in de Konink-lijke Bibliotheek van België (hs. 2810-13, f. 1*) dat mogelijk een getuige is van dezelfde tekst. De kroniek schenkt veel aandacht aan de Gentse opstanden in de veertiende eeuw en lijkt te zijn ontstaan in 1431. De precieze positie van de tekst binnen de Vlaamse historiografie van de veertiende en vijftiende eeuw verdient nader onderzoek.
«Non, je ne suis pas fier d’être le Premier magistrat de la “Justice Militaire”». Le Journal de guerre de Jules Wellens (1914-1918)
Authors: Amara Michaël , Charon Arnaud
Published: August 2020

Jules Wellens (1853-1932) was appointed to the presidency of the Military Court -the highest court of the Belgian military justice -in 1913. One year later, the outbreak of the First World War radically changed his destiny. From the first days of the war, as he began to follow the retreat of the army, the magistrate began writing a diary, a copy of which is kept in the National Archives of Belgium. For more than three years, he described his daily life marked by the suffering of a man separated from his loved ones and his fight to improve the functioning of the military justice. In permanent struggle with the Auditor General and some of the army commanders, Wellens managed, however, to profoundly change the way Belgian military Justice worked. This makes the excerpts of this rare testimony all the more interesting, since this exceptional source highlights the unfairly forgotten fight of a courageous magistrate.
Mesures de lutte contre les maladies vénériennes. Les actes du colloque tenu à Bruxelles le 8 octobre 1915 à l’invitation du Gouvernement-général allemand en Belgique
Authors: Debruyne Emmanuel
Published: August 2020

On 8 October 1915 a conference took place in Brussels, organised by the German occupation authorities, over the fight against venereal diseases in the occupied country. This was the result of concerns dating back to 19th century, but which were exacerbated by the mass mobilisation in a long-term war. The topic of the conference affected both the occupiers and the occupied people, and women as well as men, but the organisation and participation were nevertheless monopolized by occupying and masculine power. The presentation of the measures taken and their results was inspired by a resolutely neo-regulationist view, but left room for a real debate around issues such as the disclosure requirement, the contamination offence or the use of occupied countries as a laboratory for experimentation then exportable to Germany.

Welfare Chauvinism, Populist Radical Right Parties and Health Inequalities Comment on "A Scoping Review of Populist Radical Right Parties’ Influence on Welfare Policy and its Implications for Population Health in Europe"
Authors: Bambra Clare , Lynch Julia
Published: August 2020

In this short commentary, we examine the implications of the welfare chauvinism of the populist radical right (PRR) for health inequalities by examining the international evidence about the impact of previous periods of welfare state contraction on population health and health inequalities. We argue that parties from various political traditions have in fact long engaged in stigmatisation of welfare recipients to justify welfare state retrenchment, a technique that the PRR have now ‘weaponised.’ We conclude by reflecting on implications of the rise of the PRR for the future of welfare states and health inequalities in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Authors: Basis Fuad , Zeidani Hisam , Hussein Khetam , Hareli Shlomo
Published: August 2020

Background: On February 26, 2020, the first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was detected in Israel. The Ministry of Health (MoH) instructed people to take isolation measures and restrict their movement. Similarly, there was a gradual decrease in the number of visits to our emergency department (ED). Objectives: To describe the decline in the referrals to the ED and in-hospital beds occupancy during the COVID-19 pandemic and to compare it to the H1N1 2009 pandemic. Methods: Employing a cross-sectional epidemiologic study, the pattern of visits to the ED during the COVID-19 was compared with the pattern of visits during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, as well as a year without a pandemic. The data was adjusted to consider changes in population size. The Welch t test for unpaired, unequal samples was used to analyze the data. Results: Within 2 months of the COVID-19 outbreak, the average number of visits to the ED dropped by 30.2% and the hospital occupancy by 29.2% (a minimum of 57%), compared to the same period, the year before. In comparison to the same period during the H1N1 outbreak, we witnessed a significant decline in the number of visits to the ED during the COVID-19 outbreak. Conclusion: The behavior of people during the COVID-19 pandemic was different from their behavior during the H1N1 pandemic. People seemed to avoid visiting the ED. The boundary between precaution and panic in the generation of the media could be very thin. Decision-makers must take this into account.

Do Platelet Indices Have an Effect On Mortality in Peptic Ulcer Perforation?
Authors: BARDAKÇI Osman , TATLI Faik , ÖZGÖNÜL Abdullah , YILMAZ Mehmet , UZUNKÖY Ali
Published: August 2020

Abstract: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is an ulcerative lesion that extends to the submucosa or muscularis propria in the acid-induced stomach and duodenum. Peptic ulcer perforation (PUP) is the second-most common complication observed in 2%–10% of PUD cases.
Material and methods: The records of 70 patients who were operated with a diagnosis of PUP between January 2010 and December 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. The mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), white blood cell (WBC) count, and platelet count in the preoperative blood tests and at mortality were recorded in the patients. The patients were divided into two groups: those who did not develop mortality (Group 1) and those who developed mortality (Group 2).
Results: Mortality was seen in 10 (14.2%) patients, of which five each were male and female. All patients who developed mortality did so in the early postoperative period (6th hour and 2nd day). There was a statistically significant difference in MPV and PDW values (p < 0.015 and p < 0.015, respectively).
As a result, in our study, we think that preoperative high MPV and PDW values can be used to predict mortality in patients who will be operated for PUP. We anticipate that changes in MPV and PDW may be due to sepsis developed secondary to peritonitis due to perforation.

MELACAK JEJAK POLITIK PERSEBARAN ISLAM ANTARA ELIT KERAJAAN MAJAPAHIT DAN WALI SANGA (KONSOLIDASI HUKUM ISLAM DI JAWA)
Authors: Nur Khalik Ridwan
Published: August 2020

Hukum Islam diterapkan di semua tempat di mana umat Islam berada untuk menerapkan ajaran-ajaran Islam dari Al-Qur’an dan sunnah, juga qaul-qaul ulama dalam ijma dan qiyas. Penerapannya di masing-masing tempat selalu berhubungan dengan politik hukum kekuasaan dan keadaan di mana wilayah itu berada, serta adanya musyawarah dan politik hukum kekuasaan di antara para ulama dan penguasa. Khususnya di masyarakat Jawa, hal ini terlihat dengan jelas, bagaimana elit bangsawan dan ulama berperan, sehingga corak politik hukum kekuasaan di kalangan muslim Jawa memiliki dimensinya karena ada dialektika lokal daerah, prakrassa ulama dan elit bangsawan.  Tulisan ini ingin melihat politik hukum kekuasaan yang dijalankan ulama dan elit bangsawan di tanah Jawa di masa-masa awal, untuk dijadikan bahan refleksi bagi pengembangan gerakan Islam kultural di Jawa, dengan tetap mengacu pada hukum Islam yang, dalam batas-batas tertentu harus diterapkan secara fleksibel, selain pada soal hukum-hukum elementer, seperti sholat, puasa, dan haji. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini ingin melacak: politik penyebaran Islam dalam menerapkan hukum Islam di dalam masyarakat Jawa, hubungan elit bangsawan dan ulama penyebar Islam di masa awal, da hukum Islam secara kultural yanmg diterapkan di masyarakat Jawa; dan relevansinya untuk saat ini.
Human Cognition to Analyse Alcohol Use Disorder and Correlation with Internet Gaming Disorder
Authors: Pandey Hari
Published: August 2020

Playing games always been interest in child
and adolescent. Technology specially internet given new dimension to gaming and
over the decade gaming over internet attracted major percentage of player.
Excessive gaming when not controlled also lead to the behavioral dysfunction
along with physiological issues. World Health Organization (WHO) has added
Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) as potential mental disorder recently in
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as research
field to include in main manual. Research in this field gained interest, but
about diagnostic criteria debate is still on in research group. For diagnosis
of IGD, not only subjective symptoms but its underlying neurobiology needs to
be included. Major behavioral addiction shares its symptoms with different
addiction, which can be seen into IGD and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) also. In
this paper, we aim to identify potential biomarkers to explore relationships
between AUD and IGD symptoms using EEG signals recordings. Noise and other
artifacts are removed during pre-processing and bands splitted in intermediate
steps of proposed method. Spectral features are potential indicator in EEG
data, for all five EEG bands power spectral density is computed and visible
difference found in mean power on most of the channels for all bands. Across
theta and beta bands, mean absolute power is greatly reduced in the frontal and
prefrontal brain region. The results indicate symptoms are matching with
impulsive behavior. Based on statistical analysis across we found similarities
in EEG features in terms of emotional imbalance, high arousal, slow response
inhibition and our study indicate Alcohol Use Disorder and IGD are correlated.

Para evaluar el Engagement Académico se utilizó la versión española del cuestionario Utrech Work Engagement Scale Student o UWES-S (Versión extendida de 17 ítems); la información del rendimiento académico se obtuvo a través de Reporte de notas proporcionado por la Unidad de Procesos académicos-UNHEVAL. Los resultados muestran en términos generales que no existe relación significativa entre el engagement y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes universitarios por lo que se concluye que el engagement no incide en el rendimiento; sin embargo, haciendo un análisis por escuelas se ha encontrado que si existe una relación significativa entre el engagement y rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de Enfermería y Obstetricia respectivamente.

Los   destinos de la humanidad dependen cada vez más de lo que acontezca en el campo de las ideas, la innovación y el descubrimiento. En   buena parte del mundo contemporáneo viene desarrollándose una batalla silenciosa y sin fin, cuyo desenlace puede originar cambios más  significativos que los generados por  los  grandes acontecimientos  históricos  de este siglo en lo  económico,  lo político y lo social.

En el sector educacional de Cuba se gestan acciones desde la Dirección en la búsqueda de la calidad de la educación y el logro de un socialismo próspero y sostenible.

La batalla por el desarrollo de la actividad de Dirección en las instituciones educativas y la demostración del liderazgo del directivos son dos elementos claves que contribuyen al cumplimiento exitoso de las funciones de dirección y lógicamente al desarrollo institucional.

Los autores proponen algunas ideas que invitan a la reflexión para el desarrollo de  la actividad de Dirección y de  las funciones de Dirección en las instituciones educativas.
Competencias ciudadanas en sedes regionales de la Universidad del Valle: avances y dificultades en el proyecto de formación ciudadana
Authors: Alvarez Rodriguez Adolfo Adrian , Valencia Serna Angélica , López Herney
Published: August 2020

En el presente artículo se presentan los resultados del proyecto de Investigación sobre Competencias ciudadanas en estudiantes de las Sedes Regionales de la Universidad del Valle, realizado en el período 2016-2018, enfatizando su significado respecto de la formación ciudadana como reto de las instituciones universitarias y en particular en el actual contexto nacional e internacional en el cual diversos fenómenos políticos y culturales de amplia incidencia cuestionan la solidez de la formación  para la ciudadanía y su ejercicio efectivo. Entre esos las capacidades y disposiciones respecto de la vigencia y ejercicio de los derechos humanos, la democracia y la participación, el reconocimiento y respeto de la diversidad, los conflictos y su transformación pacífica, la legalidad y la defensa de lo público; capacidades efectivas de actuación en sociedades que al menos desde los años noventa se propusieron transitar hacia sociedades y estados democráticos. El asunto cobra relevancia además en el contexto de discusión y en general de transformaciones en los proyectos formativos en clave de cultura de paz y de formación de un ciudadano con capacidad crítica.
La educación especial en Venezuela: una reivindicación del Sapere Aude
Authors: Caraballo Rodríguez Maritza del Rosario
Published: August 2020

La Educación Especial en estos tiempos es un camino inhóspito reducido a unas recetas de modalidades que en muchos casos circunscriben las condiciones  especiales a patrones de comportamientos y necesidades. La presente investigación desde la perspectiva compleja, atiende a una realidad entramada de construcción del objeto de estudio con las categorías de análisis: condición humana, Educación Especial, diversidad, Sapere Aude, complejidad y antropoética. De esta manera, bajo el transparadigma complejo; trans que significa más allá, se analizó la Educación Especial desde la reivindicación del Sapere Aude. Acudiendo a ideas originarias en la ilustración y reformando el Sapere Aude a estos tiempos. En las conclusiones se aseveró que se trata de una formación apegada al ser humano promoviendo la complejidad de la vida, la diversidad como elemento enriquecedor de los educandos, la familia y la comunidad, la aceptación, las diferencias individuales, emociones, ritmos y estilos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes y la disponibilidad de un equipo transdisciplinario que abra espacios de encuentro, busque líneas de salida permitiendo establecer un diálogo entre los actores del proceso educativo, considerando todas las potencialidades y esencia humana en las personas con necesidades educativas especiales. La categoría antropoética da un viraje incluyendo en la Educación Especial la ética renovada, la del género humano, que exige el cambio de pensamiento en los actores del proceso educativo,  provocando una liberación de la opresión a que han sido sometidos. Sapere Aude, alude a una minoría de edad que emana en una necesidad de comprensión de los educandos; para luego, lograr su autonomía.

Published: August 2020

El contenido de este artículo es un breve análisis descriptivo de los datos obtenidos en el proyecto PIIR 004, Construcción de ámbitos de educación, Educar con el área cultural, Educere Area (valores específicos y valores comunes de educación con un área cultural; claves de la integración pedagógica para el diseño educativo del ámbito), promovido por la Red Internacional de Pedagogía Mesoaxiológica (RIPEME), que está integrada en la Red Iberoamericana de Pedagogía (REDIPE). Este proyecto se nutre y fundamenta en los contenidos de los trabajos realizados en la línea de investigación Pedagogía Mesoaxiológica y construcción de ámbitos de educación que desarrolla el Grupo de Investigación Terceira Xeración (TeXe) de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela.

Hasta el momento el proyecto ha recogido datos de más de 210 docentes a través de dos cuestionarios de perspectiva mesoaxiológica. El artículo describe los resultados preliminares del primero de ellos, conformado por cuatro secciones que pretenden determinar el ajuste de la materia escolar instructiva al significado de ámbito de educación, diseño educativo, valores educativos comunes y valores educativos específicos.

Los primeros resultados nos aproximan a la selección de valores marcadamente intelectuales, con carácter educativo o formativo y con vinculación con lo social y lo comunitario. En el extremo opuesto, los valores menos seleccionados son los vinculados a lo individual, a lo relacionado con la organización y la gestión, y, con el control y la generación de normas.
Financial sector deregulation, private sector credit and aggregate economic performance in Nigeria
Authors: Isiwu George Duhu
Published: August 2020

In recent years, various governments in Nigeria have continued to give priority to private sector development as a strategy for self-reliance industrialization. This study examines financial sector deregulation, private sector credit and aggregate economic performance in Nigeria. The main objective of the study is to determine whether financial sector deregulation has helped in stimulating the impact of private sector credit on aggregate economic performance in Nigeria for the period 1982-2018. Data on the growth rate of real GDP, financial depth, private sector credit, prime lending rate and gross fixed capital formation were the variables used in the study. A dummy variable was also used as a proxy for financial deregulation. ARDL approach was adopted to estimate the data set. The empirical results show that there is cointegration between aggregate economic performance and independent variables; private sector credit has a negative and significant impact on aggregate economic performance; and that financial sector deregulation has been able in stimulating the impact of private sector credit on aggregate economic performance in Nigeria, though, not satisfactorily because of policy inconsistency. It is therefore recommended that to achieve vibrant private sector-driven economy, the government and the policymakers should strengthen the supervisory ability of the regulatory bodies to ensure that the funds approved for private sector investment are channeled to the sector.
Bukti yang Membuktikan dan Bukti yang Menjelaskan dalam Kelas Matematika

Published: August 2020

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan secara komprehensif perbedaan bukti yang membuktikan dan bukti yang menjelaskan berdasarkan pertimbangan implikasi kedua bukti tersebut sebagai dasar konstruksi penalaran dan bukti dalam matematika. Kajian dijalani dengan kegiatan menguraikan perbedaan spesifik antara keduanya serta memberikan contoh kasus kedua bukti, dan memberikan justifikasi atas pentingnya pengenalan kedua bukti dalam kelas matematika. Kedua bukti digambarkan dengan permasalahan konsep barisan bilangan ganjil. Bukti yang membuktikan hanya menunjukkan dengan menggunakan induksi matematis, sementara bukti yang menjelaskan menunjukkan dengan bukti Gauss, representasi geometrik bangun titik, dan garis zig-zag. Perbedaan antara keduanya tampak pada pemberian alasan yang berasal dari bukti itu sendiri. Hasil kajian mengindikasikan bahwa peran bukti dalam kelas matematika pada tingkat perguruan tinggi adalah membuktikan/meyakinkan, pada tingkat menengah atas adalah membuktikan dan menjelaskan, dan pada tingkat sekolah menengah pertama dan dasar peran utamanya adalah menjelaskan. Akibatnya bukti matematis tidak hanya membuktikan/menyakinkan, melainkan juga menjelaskan. Karenanya penting mempertimbangkan implikasi bukti dalam kurikulum matematika di sekolah, serta perlunya menyajikan bab materi kepada mahasiswa pendidikan matematika tidak hanya bukti yang membuktikan, melainkan juga bukti yang menjelaskan.Proofs that Prove and Proofs that Explain in Mathematics ClassroomAbstractThe purpose of this study was to comprehensively describe the differences of the proofs that prove and proofs that explain based on the consideration of the implications of the two proofs as the basis for the construction reasoning and proofs in mathematics. The study was undertaken with the activity of describing the specific differences between the two and providing examples of cases of both proofs; and provide justification for the importance of introducing both proofs in mathematics classrooms. Both proofs are illustrated by the problem of the odd number sequence concept. Proofs that prove is only shown using mathematical induction, while proofs that explain shows with Gaussian proof, a geometric representation of point shape, and zigzag line. The difference between the two appears to be the reasoning that comes from the proof itself. The results of the study indicate that the role of proof in mathematics classes at the tertiary level is proving/convincing, at the senior secondary level it is proving and explaining, and at the junior and elementary school level its main role is explaining. As a result, mathematical proof does not only prove/convince, but also explain. It is therefore important to consider the implications of proof in the mathematics curriculum in schools, as well as the need to present chapter materials to mathematics education students not only proofs that prove but also proof that explain.
