Authors: Gupta Avani , Akhtar Juber , Rastogi Kailash Chandra , Badruddeen  , Khan Mohammad Irfan , Ahmad Mohammad
Published: December 2023

Background:

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed
for the determination of Pantoprazole Sodium (PPZ) in the presence of its degradation products.
The degradation of PPZ was studied in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and simulated gastric
fluids (SGF) in various temperature conditions.

Aim:

This study aimed to establish a simple, sensitive, and rapid RP HPLC method for in-vitro determination
of Pantoprazole Sodium and its degradation products in simulated gastric and intestinal
fluids.

Objective:

Pantoprazole is acid labile drug. In order to determine pantoprazole in various oral dosage
forms, the stability-indicating assay of PPZ was performed in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) representing
simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and in 0.1 molars (M) Hydrochloric acid (HCl) as simulated
gastric fluid (SGF) at two different temperature conditions, i.e., 25°C and 0°C, respectively.

Method:

Pantoprazole sodium was obtained from the Akums laboratory in Haridwar. The analysis
was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Shimadzu, equipped with
two LC-10 AD VP solvent-delivery modules, a SPD-10A UV–-visible detector, and a manual injector
valve with 20 μL sample loop. Phenomenex ODS analytical column (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.,
5 μm particles) was done under reversed-phase partition chromatographic conditions. The mobile
phase was phosphate buffer and acetonitrile (ACN) of pH 7.4, respectively, optimized in a 70:30
(v/v) ratio followed by filtration through a 0.45 μm membrane filter and degassed by ultrasonicator
before use. The mobile phase was delivered at the flow rate of 2 mL/min. The various parameters,
such as linearity, accuracy and precision of the analytical method, were studied.

Result:

The standard curve of PPZ was linear (R2>0.99) over the concentration range of 5-30
μg/mL, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) values for intra-day and inter-day variations were
in the range of 1.0-1.8%. The range of RSD was within ±2.

Conclusion:

The stability of PPZ in aqueous solution was pH dependent. The rate of degradation
increases with decreasing pH. The pH stability of pantoprazole was studied at the above-mentioned
temperature conditions. The PPZ peaks were analyzed by comparing them with fresh samples and
were stable in SIF solution after 24 hours elapsed time at pH 6.8. The obtained degraded peaks in
SGF (pH 1) were successfully separated from the PPZ.

Authors: Sani Wan Noor Hin Mior , Jaya Ramadhansyah Putra , Masri Khairil Azman
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

The stability and tensile strength of asphalt mixtures play a crucial role in pavement durability, primarily due to the challenges associated with cracking. This study investigates the utilization of a hybrid asphalt mixture comprising hybrid materials: Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA), garnet waste and sawdust to enhance the modified asphalt performance.

Aims:

The objective is to examine the hybrid materials’ influence towards the mechanical properties of the hybrid asphalt mixture, specifically focusing on the Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) as well as the Marshall stability test.

Methods:

To achieve this, hybrid materials were finely ground and sieved to 25µm before being incorporated into the mixture. The Marshall mix design procedure was conducted, utilizing hybrid binders at concentrations of 0% (control), 3% 6%, and 9%. The effects of the hybrid asphalt mixture on stability, flow, stiffness, and ITS were assessed at the optimal binder content.

Results:

The findings indicate that the hybrid asphalt mixture reveals enhanced Marshall stability, stiffness, flow, and ITS values compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. Notably, hybrid asphalt mixtures with 6% binder concentration demonstrate the most significant enhancement in terms of Marshall stability and ITS.

Conclusion:

This correlation suggests that the incorporation of POFA, garnet waste, and sawdust as hybrid materials in the hybrid asphalt mixture possesses a positive effect on the overall mechanical properties of the pavement.

Highlights:

• POFA, garnet waste, and sawdust increased the stability of the hybrid asphalt mixture.

• POFA, garnet waste, and sawdust increased the tensile strength of the hybrid asphalt mixture.

• Hybrid asphalt mixture performs positively towards flow and stiffness.

Authors: Hashifah Adinda Salwa , Sulistyarini Rachmi , Ganindha Ranitya
Published: December 2023

Initial coin offering (henceforth referred to as ICO) as one of the investment developments in the digital era has left legal loopholes over the execution of the ICO in Indonesia, coupled with the emergence of cryptocurrency. This research aims to analyze the validity of an investment agreement on the ICO using cryptocurrency as a payment method along with its legal consequences. With normative-juridical methods, the research results have found out the agreement of the ICO is deemed unlawful according to Article 1320 of the Civil Code due to the clause contravening the legislation, leading to the failure of the fulfillment of the halal clause. Thus, the agreement is deemed to be void ab initio or simply inexistent. Due to the absence of the regulatory provision regulating the ICO, the investors involved could file a lawsuit over the violation harming the parties running the ICO. Thus, it is important to formulate regulatory provisions concerning the ICO in Indonesia that set forth the measures taken to provide legal protection for the aggrieved inventors due to the void ab initio agreement. These regulatory provisions are expected to avert any ICO-related problems as stated above.

Published: December 2023

This study was conducted in the context of Indonesia, which has entered the final stage of the three-period bureaucratic reform. Although progress has been made in various fields, indicators show that Indonesia still needs to achieve the ideal standard in terms of bureaucratic reform. The study aims to analyze the developing reform bureaucracy from the perspective of government dynamics to evaluate the Indonesian government's efforts and identify the factors that become obstacles in the bureaucratic bureaucracy. Researchers use NVivo to map the practices of dynamic governance in Indonesia based on the systematic literature review (SLR) results. The results showed that the Indonesian government has begun to apply a dynamic governance approach in contextualizing and implementing the bureaucracy. However, resistance to change and past habits from the New Order era became an obstacle to bureaucratic reform. The results also showed that corruption is a fundamental problem that is still being faced in Indonesian culture and needs to be addressed immediately in efforts to reform the bureaucracy.
ULTRASTRUCTURAL CHANGES OF THE PINEAL GLAND IN EPILEPSY
Authors: Litovchenko Tetyana , Dubenko Andrey , Sazonov Serhii , Florikian Vartanush , Zavalna Olena , Sukhonosova Olga
Published: December 2023

Circadian mechanisms modulate neuronal excitability at several levels, and their destruction can cause excessive uncontrolled excitability. Previous studies have shown that epilepsy is associated with melatonin levels. Melatonin is a powerful chronobiotic secreted from the pineal gland; helps to maintain normal circadian rhythms and is used to treat some neurological and psychiatric disorders. Circadian rhythms and sleep/wake mechanisms play role in the epilepsy. Melatonin deficiency can decrease seizure threshold, and hence could increase seizure activity. The aim of the study was to identify ultrastructural changes in the pineal gland in an experimental model of epilepsy.
Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out on Wistar rats, 5-6 months of age, weight of about 200 g, 36 experimental and 10 control animals. Electrically provoked experimental epileptic seizures model in rats was reproduced. The rats developed spontaneous generalized seizures after 9-14 stimulations. Material for histological examinations was taken after stable formation (for >1 month) of repeated seizures. Ultrathin sections, after contrast with Reynolds lead citrate, were studied under an electron microscope at an accelerating voltage of 75 kV. The increase was selected adequate to the study and ranged from 20,000 to 60,000 times.
Results. Experimental studies have confirmed the presence of stable dystrophic, up to apoptosis of some cells, morphological changes of the pineal gland in the experimental model of epilepsy in rats, which is the reason for the decrease in its functional activity.
Conclusions. Our experimental data on the morphological changes of the pineal gland confirm the conclusion about a stable, possibly irreversible, decrease in gland function in epilepsy due to damage and disruption of the structure of its cells. Given the polyfunctionality of melatonin, its deficiency can be one of the causes of changes in neural networks, impaired permeability of synaptic membranes, and as a consequence, increased epileptic activity of neurons.

Published: December 2023

Гістеректомія є однією із найбільш частих гінекологічних операцій, що виконуються у світі. Метою дослідження стало виявити фактори ризику формування метаболічних порушень у післяопераційному періоді у пацієнток після гістеректомії без додатків та визначити роль гормональної терапії як предиктора розвитку метаболічного синдрому.
Матеріали та методи. У дослідження були включені 110 пацієнток, оперативно оздоровлених з приводу лейоміоми, де 68 пацієнток перед операцією отримували гормональну терапію симптоматики міоми (мено-метрорагії) (перша група), і 42 пацієнтки, для яких основним методом оздоровлення стало оперативне втручання у об’ємі – ГЕ без додатків.
Результати. Зі зростанням віку змінюється частка нозологічних форм проліферативних процесів ендо-міометрію, а саме зменшується частота поєднання лейоміоми із ендометріозом та відмічається тенденція зо зростання ізольованих форм міоми. Аналіз вихідних даних поширеності соматичної патології дозволив вказати на високу частку артеріальної гіпертензії та порушення жирового обміну, захворювання гепатобіліарної системи у 2 рази частіше відмітили серед пацієнток першої групи (р<0,05). Формування предикторів МС після оперативного оздоровлення відмітили до 36 місяців у 64,7% пацієнток першої групи проти 33,3% – у другій групі, стійка артеріальна гіпертензія була виявлена у 38,2% спостережень, зростання ІМТ (надмірна вага та розвиток ожиріння І-ІІ ступеню) – у більшій половині випадків, інсулінорезистентність та гіперліпідемію, перш за все за рахунок підвищення фракції холестерину ЛПНЩ, діагностовано у 67,6%. Зміна індексу НОМА-IR знаходилася у залежності від вихідної маси тіла і демонструвала стрибкоподібне підвищення після року по операції зі збереженням стабільно високих показників у віддаленому періоді.
Висновки. Предикторами ризику формування метаболічного синдрому у пацієнток, оперативно оздоровлених з приводу лейоміоми матки, є спадковий анамнез щодо патології, асоційованої із метаболічним синдромом, поєднання лейоміоми матки з гіперплазією ендометрію, порушення жирового обміну, патологія гепатобіліарного тракту, у дещо менш вираженій мірі – артеріальна гіпертензія, судинна патологія. Встановлено, що тривала гормональна терапія симптоматики лейоміоми поряд із гістеректомією, навіть зі збереженням яєчникової тканини, є фактором зростання частки клініко-лабораторних критеріїв метаболічного синдрому, артеріальної гіпертензії, ожиріння, порушення жирового і вуглеводного обміну.

Uno de los retos de las colecciones biológicas vivas consiste en preservar microorganismos viables, puros y estables con el empleo de diferentes métodos. Entre ellas, las colecciones de hongos cumplen un papel fundamental al resguardar y documentar la biodiversidad y el recurso genético fúngico. Los métodos que se recomiendan para cumplir con estos objetivos a largo plazo son la criopreservación y liofilización. La Colección de Microorganismos de la Escuela de Microbiología de la Universidad de Antioquia requiere evaluar la liofilización para preservar hongos, dado que bajo condiciones óptimas puede mejorar algunas limitaciones de otros métodos empleados. En esta investigación se liofilizó una levadura y tres hongos filamentosos durante 24 horas empleando diferentes sustancias protectoras y se evaluó la viabilidad, pureza y estabilidad antes y después de liofilizar. Los resultados evidenciaron que en la mayoría de los hongos la viabilidad, estabilidad y pureza fue exitosa usando sacarosa al 10% con un inóculo aproximado de 108 células/mililitro a una temperatura de 80°C bajo cero y 6 pascales de presión. Aunque la sacarosa fue el lioprotector que presentó mejor porcentaje de viabilidad, mantuvo estables y puros a los microorganismos, y cumplió con las características físicas del producto seco, los demás lioprotectores constituyen una alternativa válida de uso.

Authors: Jasim Mahi Aymen , Naser Alhamiri Yasir
Published: December 2023

The results of the isolation and identification of pathogens accompanying the symptomatic seeds and seedlings of cotton showed that the most common fungus was Fusarium brachygibbosum. Molecular identification of the studied fungus was performed using the universal primers: the results of the genetic analysis revealed the identities of the fungus as follows: a 100% identity for F. brachygibbosum that was deposited at the GenBank under accession number ON738702.1. This fungus has shown high pathogenicity against cotton seeds and seedlings by severely reducing their Germination and growth and treating cotton seeds with the biological factors of Trichoderma spp. It revealed a high efficiency in reducing disease incidence and increasing cotton germination percentage. Trichoderma viride showed the highest ability to increase seed germination to 94.44%.
In comparison, the lowest ability reached 77.77 % in Trichoderma pseudokoningii and Trichoderma reesei—the results of extracting toxins from the filters of Trichoderma spp. The study's use of trichodermin and Gliotoxin showed the presence of trichodermin and Gliotoxin in large quantities. The percentage of toxin inhibition was significant against the growth of pathogenic fungi. The highest percentage of inhibition was 86.1% for the isolate Trichoderma koningiopsis, and the lowest percentage was 66.65% for the isolate Trichoderma reesei. As for the effect of isolates of resistant fungus on the Pathogen in the field, the highest germination rate was 100%, and the inhibition rate was 0.00% when using the biological preparation prepared from the isolates (T. viride, T. pseudokoningii, T. koningiopsis and T. reesei).

Identifying Symptoms Prior to Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Diagnosis in Real-World Care Settings: Natural Language Processing Approach
Authors: Xie Fagen , Chang Jenny , Luong Tiffany , Wu Bechien , Lustigova Eva , Shrader Eva , Chen Wansu
Published: December 2023

Background

Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common form of pancreatic cancer, accounting for up to 90% of all cases. Patient-reported symptoms are often the triggers of cancer diagnosis and therefore, understanding the PDAC-associated symptoms and the timing of symptom onset could facilitate early detection of PDAC.

Objective

This paper aims to develop a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to capture symptoms associated with PDAC from clinical notes within a large integrated health care system.

Methods

We used unstructured data within 2 years prior to PDAC diagnosis between 2010 and 2019 and among matched patients without PDAC to identify 17 PDAC-related symptoms. Related terms and phrases were first compiled from publicly available resources and then recursively reviewed and enriched with input from clinicians and chart review. A computerized NLP algorithm was iteratively developed and fine-trained via multiple rounds of chart review followed by adjudication. Finally, the developed algorithm was applied to the validation data set to assess performance and to the study implementation notes.

Results

A total of 408,147 and 709,789 notes were retrieved from 2611 patients with PDAC and 10,085 matched patients without PDAC, respectively. In descending order, the symptom distribution of the study implementation notes ranged from 4.98% for abdominal or epigastric pain to 0.05% for upper extremity deep vein thrombosis in the PDAC group, and from 1.75% for back pain to 0.01% for pale stool in the non-PDAC group. Validation of the NLP algorithm against adjudicated chart review results of 1000 notes showed that precision ranged from 98.9% (jaundice) to 84% (upper extremity deep vein thrombosis), recall ranged from 98.1% (weight loss) to 82.8% (epigastric bloating), and F1-scores ranged from 0.97 (jaundice) to 0.86 (depression).

Conclusions

The developed and validated NLP algorithm could be used for the early detection of PDAC.

Limited information exists regarding the zootechnical performance of the local chicken ecotype Konde. The objective of this study was to evaluate the laying and growth performance of local hens Gallus gallus domesticus ecotype Konde in a semi-intensive production system. A founder group of breeders (30 hens and 6 roosters) from the Boulgou Province (Garango, Zabré and Tenkodogo) was set up at a ratio of one (1) rooster for five (5) hens. Eggs were collected and identified daily. After five days of collection, eggs were naturally incubated under large brood hens (15 to 20 eggs) and then transferred to a compartmentalized and numbered hatcher. These incubations resulted in 306 identifiable one-day-old chicks (106 in the wet season, 103 in the cold dry season and 100 in the hot dry season). The individual weight (IW) of the chicks was recorded every week from hatching to three (3) months of age. Carcass characteristics were assessed on 10 birds per rearing period at 3 months of age. The laying rate was 33.60% during a 180-day laying period. Observed fertility and hatching rates were 60.33 and 80.31%, respectively. The average weight, length and large diameter of the eggs were 41.33 g, 48.75±2.07mm and 36.42±1.6mm, respectively. The results showed that chicks with an average hatching weight of around 28g reached, at three months of age, 926.64 ± 153 g, 884.06 ± 133 g, and 857.44 ± 105 g during the rainy, cold-dry, and hot-dry seasons, respectively. Carcass yield was 62.19, 66.46, and 65.91% in the rainy, hot, and dry seasons, respectively. A detailed economic evaluation showed a gross profit of 922 FCFA per bird at 3 months of age. Based on the growth performance, the local chicken ecotype Konde could be used for meat production. However, further improvement of performance and sustainability of the chicken’s ecotype Konde through genetic selection and management tools is still needed.

Using Support Reading to raise Reading Fluency in a Grade 9 class taking EFL – An Action Research
Authors: Sai (David Yong Heng , Sibarani Dr. Berlin , Meisuri Dr. Wiwiek
Published: December 2023

This action research explores the use of Supported Reading (SR) to improve the reading proficiency of Grade 9 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in an Indonesian context. A class of 16 students were involved in this study conducted over 3 weeks. The intervention addressed the students' ability and reluctance to read or speak in English through a structured SR routine, incorporating various reading practices. The research questions focused on the current state of reading proficiency and the effectiveness of SR as an intervention. Baseline and post-intervention reading tests were conducted, and statistical analysis indicated a significant improvement in students' reading scores. The methodology incorporated elements of language testing, using a reading fluency test with a designed rubric. The intervention included vocal warm-ups, silent reading, word attack drills, echo reading, choral reading, and pair/individual reading activities. The results showed a significant increase in fluency, rhythm, expression, and pronunciation skills among the students. Findings suggest that SR, typically considered for lower grades, is a viable intervention even at the upper grades, serving as a form of spiral progression. The study affirms that SR is relevant and useful for EFL teaching and learning. Recommendations include integrating SR into reading instructions for students and in teacher professional development programs. While SR is commonly used in lower primary for reading fluency, educators facing similar challenges in EFL contexts should consider the use of SR to improve reading proficiency and motivation among students in the upper grades.
SHA-256 Hash Function on Intel DE10 Lite FPGA
Authors: DiNardi Michael , Radhakrishnan Damu
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The SHA-256 hash function is a standardized and trusted algorithm that takes a set of data and produces a unique, deterministic, and irreversible representation called a hash or digest. A component of other protocols, SHA-256 protects password storage, secures and verifies Bitcoin transactions, and authenticates internet communication. We did a thorough analysis of the hash function and a preexisting Verilog implementation at the algorithmic, architectural, and circuit levels to identify and address the bottlenecks. We propose a new SHA-256 hardware architecture that utilizes binary tree structured adder trees to speed up hash computation. The proposed design targets Intel DE10-Lite FPGA and achieves 23% increase in computation speed. In applications, this can offer faster online communication or a more secure Bitcoin network.

Ferroelectric Transformer Using High Frequency Electric Field for Switching Polarization to Get Multiple Levels of DC Voltage and for Fault Protection
Authors: Chandrasekaran Deepalakshmi
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The fundamental understanding of negative capacitance is not fully complete. Ferroelectrics are like ferromagnetics in that the different areas of ferroelectrics get polarized in different directions based on the charge density and finally the net charge of the material, as a whole gives the resultant polarization in a particular direction. The negative permitivity results in opposite polarization and it can be further explained in multidomain ferroelectrics. The application model as a static DC transformer based on magnetic capacitor model is discussed here.

The LD50 of the interface portion of ethyl acetate and n-hexane extract from antidiabetic Anogeissus leiocarpus stem bark was greater than 2000mg/kg.bd.wt., with a wide range of safety value. In addition it caused no death 24hours and thereafter and had no effects on pregnancy, gestation, parturition, reproductive performance with no teratogenic effects on pups of Wistar-rats. This led to investigation of the effects of the extract on ovarian functions of adult female Wistar-rats but strategically optimized to obtain appropriate therapeutic hypoglycaemic-dose.

On day 0, 20 adult-female Wistar-rats weighing between 155 and 235 g were separated, at random, into 4 cages (A-D) of 5 rats each, unadministered A (normal control), administered B (5 mg/kg.bd.wt.), C (10 mg/kg.bd.wt.) and D (20 mg/kg.bd.wt.); to each group, an adult male Wistar-rat was added. They were on feeds (superstarter chow) and water ad libitum. Groups B and C were reduced to 4 rats each due to exclusion criteria. On day0, baseline parameters, were collected from all rats. Thereafter, from day0 to day12, each female rat received the optimized dose of the interface and samples were collected for random blood glucose (RBG), vaginal cytology and assay for oestrogen and progesterone. Blood samples were collected after day 12 for clinical biochemistry analyses.

At day 1, mean RBG values were significantly (P<0.05) higher (129.5±57.7 mg/dl) in group B than values of groups A,C&D which were 99.0±13.2, 101.8±3.2 and 102.0±11.9 mg/dl, respectively.

From days 2 to 12, the mean RBG values significantly (P<0.05) decreased to 98.3±15.6 in group B. The mean bodyweights of group B decreased from day 2 to14. In group D, mean values of body weights equally decreased on day14, but after increase on day7

Conclusion: Daily administration of 5 mg/kg/bd.wt. of the extract (interface) of A. leiocarpus stem-bark is therapeutically hypoglycaemic as it reduced RBG significantly (P<0.05) up to day12. The clinical application of lower doses is suggested to maintain normoglycaemia for a while after “crashing” down the hyperglycaemia of DM with a much higher dose. The shelf-life of extract (interface) of A. leiocarpus stem bark is greater than 17 months, when stored at room temperature
Huellas epistémicas para una educación transformadora: Un primer acercamiento desde una sujeta social epistémica situada

Published: December 2023

La trayectoria epistémica que han desarrollado los latinoamericanos posee implicaciones en todos los ámbitos de la vida, por el cual la concientización refuerza el pensamiento decolonial, permitiendo apreciar la riqueza de la diversidad sociocultural. Asimismo, la educación es el pilar fundamental por el cual los sujetos sociales epistémicos situados educan y son educados en proceso de retroalimentación mutua, el cual es denominado como práctica educativa. El objetivo del artículo teórico es reflexionar sobre las huellas epistémicas para una educación transformadora y de calidad. Con respecto a los procedimientos metodológicos se utilizó el paradigma socio-crítico y revisión bibliográfica. Las reflexiones finales apuntan a que se debe ser conscientes de las huellas epistémicas que todos poseen; como sujetos latinoamericanos es un deber visibilizar y reflexionar que la educación posee sustentos y planteamientos ideológicos monoculturales y universales, visibilizando que cada persona es sujeto social situado cuando se logra evidenciar como un ser humano intersubjetivo en proceso constante de aprendizaje.

Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es dilucidar cómo la política y la literatura científica han establecido un diálogo a partir de las nociones de desarrollo y las perspectivas de educación. En primer lugar, desde una perspectiva histórica, se aborda la relación entre modelo de desarrollo y sistema educativo, mostrando cómo éste último ha sido determinado por los esquemas ideológicos y políticos de los estados latinoamericanos (especialmente el chileno) en los últimos cien años. En seguida, se presenta una revisión de la educación como dimensión del desarrollo desde la perspectiva tradicional de Naciones Unidas y desde una noción de desarrollo amplio, a partir de los aportes de Dag Hammarskjöld y Amartya Sen. Por último, se incluye un análisis de los desafíos que se desprenden para los países latinoamericanos en materia educativa, a partir de las exigencias del mundo globalizante, especialmente respecto de la educación para el desarrollo sostenible, para concluir sobre los desafíos que se derivan de aspectos contemporáneos que intervienen en los procesos educativos, tales como las desigualdades en educación, la cultura individualista, la revolución tecnológica y las brechas educativas asociadas a la educación digital.

Contexto Educativo: su relevancia en la construcción de la identidad docente
Authors: Sánchez Valenzuela Renata , Cárdenas Irribarra Fabiola
Published: December 2023

Esta reflexión académica tiene por objetivo comprender la construcción de la identidad docente y su relación con los contextos educativos, a partir de la premisa que la identidad docente es un proceso de construcción en el que inciden factores personales y contextuales. Como base se consideraron investigaciones de interés, que tratan las particularidades de las identidades docentes, las características identitarias y los contextos educativos urbanos y rurales; temáticas que guiaron la búsqueda de elementos transversales para poder reflexionar sobre el fenómeno identitario docente. Este análisis arrojó como conclusión, que el contexto educativo de desempeño interviene en la identidad profesional, pues tensiona al docente subjetiva e intersubjetivamente, condicionado por la negociación de su identidad individual y colectiva, la que se va adaptando voluntariamente según las características contextuales. Finalmente, se plantea la necesidad de promover la reflexión docente como mecanismo de toma de conciencia, lo que posibilitará en éste identificarse de manera positiva con su entorno, de modo que pueda mejorar sus prácticas pedagógicas desde sus inicios en el ejercicio profesional.

Con objetivo de discutir las consecuencias de la práctica de la danza alemana para niños con TEA, desde la perspectiva de diferentes personas involucradas en este proceso. Bajo un enfoque cualitativo, caracterizada como un estudio de caso. Como instrumento, las entrevistas se realizaron a través de Google Meet. Se entrevistó a tres niños con TEA, tres madres, tres profesores y tres colegas. Los resultados fueron analizados a través de un análisis temático en tres secciones: 1) el significado de la danza folclórica alemana para niños con TEA; 2) impresiones de colegas y familiares; 3) Posibilidades de enseñanza desde la perspectiva de los profesores. La característica de DFA es realizar una secuencia y repetirla dos o más veces en la secuencia. Este hecho, según los coordinadores, ayuda en la memorización de los pasos. En cierto modo, estos movimientos se vuelven "automáticos", es decir, tan pronto como los hemos aprendido, ya no necesitamos "pensar en ellos" para ejecutarlos. El conocimiento se incorpora así. La cognición surge de la corporeidad, la experiencia vivida y la capacidad de los seres humanos para moverse. En conclusión, la danza alemana es una manifestación cultural que permite la participación de niños con TEA, preservando las tradiciones populares y el sentimiento de pertenencia entre los miembros.
