Published: December 2017

Nowadays integration could be considered as worldwide-political phenomenon with its multielement structure. The growing integratedness allows the little and medium states to build a constructive conversation with important players, equalize the growth rates, life quality as well as to contribute to settlement of international conflicts. This article deals with the theory and methodology of Economic Integration in Europe. The author investigates the roots of integration processes in after-war period in Europe. With establishment of European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951 the integration became a key element of international policy. The author revises the evolution of the Integration theory from implementing of “federalism” term till development of comparative integration area in international relations science. The author used original foreign and Russian sources for preparing the current article.
Muutoksen polku alkoholin käytössä alkoholihaimatulehduksen jälkeen – yhdeksän vuoden seurantatutkimus

Published: December 2017

Alkoholihaimatulehdus voi olla henkeä uhkaava ja alkoholin käytön lopettamista pidetään keskeisenä keinona ehkäistä uudelleen sairastumista. Tässä yhdeksän vuoden laadullisessaseurantatutkimuksessa kuvataan ensimmäiseen alkoholihaimatulehdukseen sairastuneiden (n=43) alkoholin käytölle asettamia tavoitteita, niiden toteutumista sekä kokemuksia muutokseen vaikuttaneista tekijöistä. Muutosta kuvataan kulkemisena erilaisilla poluilla (raittius, lähes raittius, kohtuus, kivikko). Raittiustavoitteen alussa valinneilla oli vähemmän runsasta alkoholin käyttöä ja enemmän raittiutta, vaikka heistä vain kolmannes säilytti raittiustavoitteen koko seurannan ajan. Myös juomisen vähentämisen valinneilla käyttö väheni ja lähes puolet heistä pysyi kohtuudessa seurannan ajan. Terveysongelmat koettiin keskeiseksi syyksi raittiuteen sitoutumiseen ja halu elää normaalia sosiaalista elämää syyksi raittiuden tavoittelusta luopumiseen. Pelko haimatulehduksen uusimisesta voi hillitä alkoholin käyttöä myös pitkällä aikavälillä vaikka henkilö ei haluaisi tai pystyisi sitoutumaan raittiuteen. Vuosittaiset seurantakäynnit sairaalassa saattoivat muistuttaa sairastumisesta ja siten edistää tavoitteen saavuttamista. Jatkossa tarvitaan lisää pitkän aikavälin tutkimusta alkoholiongelmasta selviytymiskeinoista alkoholihaimatulehdukseen sairastumisen jälkeen.
A Critical Analysis of Characteristics that Influence the Effect of Instructor Discussion Interaction on Student Outcomes
Authors: Hoey Rebecca Simon
Published: December 2017

Teacher presence facilitates students’ social and cognitive presence in online courses. Instructor interaction in discussion forums, a widely adopted instructional strategy, establishes teacher presence but research on the optimal frequency and content of instructor interaction in discussion is underdeveloped. This research evaluated 1625 instructor posts in 36 graduate-level courses in education to determine their impact on students’ perceptions of the quality of the instructor and course, students’ perceptions of their learning, and students’ actual achievement. Findings suggest the frequency of instructor interaction in discussion has no effect on student outcomes, but posts that are instructional improve students’ perceptions of their learning, and posts that are conversational improve students’ perceptions of instructor and course quality and their actual academic achievement. Implications for instructors and policymakers are addressed.
Self-Reflection and Math Performance in an Online Learning Environment
Authors: Choi Jinnie , Walters Alyssa , Hoge Pat
Published: December 2017

According to recent reports, K-12 full-time virtual school students have shown lower performance in math than their counterparts in regular brick-and-mortar schools. However, research is lacking in what kind of programmatic interventions virtual schools might be particularly well-suited to provide to improve math learning. Engaging students in self-reflection is a potentially promising pedagogical approach for supporting math learning. Nonetheless, it is unclear how models for math learning in regular classrooms translate in an online environment. The purpose of this study was to (a) analyze rich assessment data from virtual schools to explore the association between self-reflection and math performance, (b) compare the patterns found in student self-reflection across elementary, middle, and high school levels, and (c) examine whether providing opportunities for self-reflection had positive impact on learning in a virtual learning environment. In this study, the self-reflection assessments were developed and administered multiple times within several math courses during the 2014-2015 school year. These assessments included 4-7 questions that ask students to reflect on their understanding of the knowledge and skills they learned in the preceding lessons and units. Using these assessments, multiple constructs and indicators were measured, which include confidence about the topic knowledge/understanding, general feelings towards math, accuracy of self-judgment against actual test performance, and frequency of self-reflection. Through a series of three retrospective studies, data were collected from full-time virtual school students who took three math courses (one elementary, one middle, and one high school math course) in eight virtual schools in the United States during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. The results showed that (a) participation in self-reflection varied by grade, unit test performance level, and course/topic difficulty; (b) more frequent participation in self-reflection and higher self-confidence level were associated with higher final course performance; and (c) self-reflection, as was implemented here, showed limited impact for more difficult topics, higher grade courses, and higher performing students. Implications for future research are provided.
How Much Does Student Engagement with Videos and Forums in a MOOC Affect Their Achievement?
Authors: Bonafini Fernanda Cesar , Chae Chungil , Park Eunsung , Jablokow Kathryn Weed
Published: December 2017

Engagement in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is based on students who self-organize their participation according to their own goals and interests. Visual materials such as videos and discussion forums are basic ways of engaging students in MOOCs. Student achievement in MOOCs is typically measured using assessments distributed throughout the course. Although there is research on the basic forms of student’s engagement and assessment in MOOCs, little is known about their effect on students’ achievement in the form of students completing a MOOC. Using binomial logistic regression models, this paper addresses this gap in the literature by presenting the degree to which student engagement with videos and forum posts can predict students’ probability of achievement in a MOOC. It also explores the extent to which participation behaviors and their intention to receive the course certification can be used to predict achievement in MOOCs. Using qualitative content analysis, this paper discusses the quality of the forum posts exchanged by participants in this MOOC. The findings from quantitative analysis support MOOC’s pedagogical assumptions, showing that students’ engagement in forums and with videos increases the probability of course achievement. It also shows that intention to certify plays a moderator effect on the number of videos watched, enhancing achievement in MOOCs. The findings from qualitative analysis reveal that most students’ posts in forums display more information acquisition than critical thinking. Implications for practice suggest MOOC designers and MOOC instructors foster engagement in forums by implementing discussion prompts that foster interactions about deep meaning of concepts or application of concepts covered in the MOOC. In regard to videos, implications for practice suggest the creation of interactive videos that promote students’ engagement and control such as inserting guiding questions and segmenting the video content. Future research comprising multiple MOOC cohorts is suggested to validate the empirical model presented in this study.
Describing K-12 online teachers’ online professional development opportunities for students with disabilities
Authors: Rice Mary Frances
Published: December 2017

Online teacher professional development (oTPD) researchers have been concerned with design features, teacher change in practice, and student learning, as well as establishing guidelines for directing funding support. Even so, previous work suggests that high-quality instructional support for all SWD is still on the horizon. As a response to the need for better instruction, professional development for SWD has emerged in all settings, including teachers who are not just receiving oTPD, but who are online teachers themselves. The purpose of this study was to use online teachers’ descriptions of their oTPD for SWD to learn about the professional learning opportunities available to teachers around serving SWD and their families. Teachers and administrators from various online/virtual learning schools around the country participated in this study. Even though teachers had SWD in their courses and were directly responsible for SWD, most teachers and administrators described few professional development opportunities for learning to teach SWD in the online learning environment beyond giving and receiving information about legal compliance. However, there was some evidence that some teachers in some schools were supported in forming informal collaborative communities with the potential for developing promising practices for these students.

Live Synchronous Web Meetings in Asynchronous Online Courses: Reconceptualizing Virtual Office Hours
Authors: Lowenthal Patrick R. , Dunlap Joanna C , Snelson Chareen
Published: December 2017

Most online courses rely solely on asynchronous text-based online communication. This type of communication can foster anytime, anywhere reflection, critical thinking, and deep learning. However, it can also frustrate participants because of the lack of spontaneity and visual cues and the time it takes for conversations to develop and feedback to be shared, as well as the self-directedness and discipline it requires of participants to regularly check in and monitor discussions over time. Synchronous forms of communication can address some of these constraints. However, online educators often avoid using synchronous forms of communication in their courses, because of its own constraints. In this paper, we describe how we integrated live synchronous web meetings into asynchronous online courses, collected student feedback, and made iterative changes and refinements based on student feedback over time. We conclude with implications for practice.
La nueva llegada del ferrocarril a la periferia urbana: ¿una amenaza o una oportunidad para la consolidación de un modelo de ciudad?
Authors: Ribalaygua Batalla Cecilia
Published: December 2017

Desde las primeras estaciones decimonónicas, el ferrocarril ha incidido fuertemente en la configuración de las estructuras urbanas de las ciudades europeas. La llegada del tren de alta velocidad a las periferias ofrece una renovada posibilidad de incidencia en su tejido urbano, puesto que aparece en una coyuntura urbanística en la que los crecimientos difusos vacían de actividad la ciudad central, sin acabar de ofrecer soluciones a las necesidades de referentes urbanos y espacio social de sus habitantes. En este contexto, las nuevas estaciones periféricas pueden suponer una oportunidad en la consolidación de un renovado modelo de ciudad, aunque también una amenaza por su capacidad de atracción, que puede entrar en competencia con el ya debilitado centro urbano.El objetivo de este artículo es revisar la implicación que las nuevas estaciones de alta velocidad pueden jugar en la configuración de nuestras ciudades y, con ello, reivindicar la toma de decisiones de localización de la estación desde una perspectiva integradora, considerando su potencial como generador de ciudad.

La estructura verde en el proceso de planificación urbana
Authors: Fadigas Leonel
Published: December 2017

Los espacios naturales y la estructura verde urbana son partes esenciales de los tejidos con los cuales, en sus diferentes morfologías y niveles de centralidad, las ciudades se organizan, construyen y funcionan. La presencia de elementos naturales resulta de la aplicación de diversos criterios de ordenación de territorial o, simplemente, de decisiones pragmáticas de gestión de os recursos. La presencia de elementos naturales en el paisaje urbano permite que los procesos de urbanización y de rehabilitación y regeneración de los tejidos urbanos consolidados ocurran con bajo nivel de estrés y más respeto de los equilibrios ambientales que contribuyen a la sostenibilidad urbana. El sistema de espacios abiertos creado por la presencia de elementos naturales permite la existencia de corredores ecológicos para la conservación de la biodiversidad territorial y la creación y organización de la estructura verde urbana. Lo que significa que organizar la expansión o la recalificación de las ciudades es más que todo integrar el natural y el construido en una entidad con identidad, estructura y modo de funcionamiento propio.
Teotihuacan: en busca del diálogo perfecto entre ciudad y naturaleza
Authors: Miró Sardá Juan
Published: December 2017

Teotihuacan fue una de las ciudades más grandes de la antigüedad y la cultura teotihuacana una de las más importantes de la América precolombina. Este artículo propone una nueva lectura de la ciudad y su territorio. A través del estudio de la traza de la ciudad y su relación con el entorno natural, del análisis de la iconografía teotihuacana y de la comparación de Teotihuacan con otras culturas, en las siguientes páginas se responde a algunos de los grandes interrogantes que todavía rodean la cultura teotihuacana proponiendo que en Teotihuacan la simbiosis entre ciudad y naturaleza fue objeto de culto. Teotihuacan parece haber sido concebida como una “ciudad ideal” y la ciudad en sí y su relación con el entorno natural desempeñaron un papel fundamental en la identidad religiosa, cultural y política de la nueva sociedad que se forjó. En una suerte de consenso social, los teotihuacanos se esforzaron por establecer un diálogo perfecto, un equilibrio entre la ciudad que construyeron y el entorno sagrado que la rodeaba.

ABSTRACT

Karangrejo village, subdistrict of Borobudur, Magelang regency has Punthuk Setumbu as a very beautiful place to watch the sunrise from the peak of Mounts Merapi and Merbabu with Borobudur shadow in the foreground. Beside its famous sunrise view, Karangrejo also famous with its rambutan fruit with trees nearly at every home yard. From pre-findings activities, there was a certain good rambutan variety that they called “rambutan klengkeng” or longan rambutan. This special kind of rambutan is so sweet, with thick flesh, easy to peel and fresh longer. It has potential to develop it as “Rambutan Karangrejo” as a special local type that become identity and source of income of Karangrejo villagers. The main objective of this activity are: (1) to identify the potentiallity of longan rambutan superior characteristics; (2) to improve the ability of farmers group to multiply the longan rambutan trees through grafting techniques. The method used were survey, focus group discussions, training, demonstration, self practicing and mentoring. The results are: 1. Some fruits that potential to develop are include rambutan, banana and jackfruit. Longan Rambutan fruit have many good characteristics such as its taste, thickness of flesh fruit, flavor, easy to peel and fresh longer. 2.

Governo Vargas, trabalho e o Ensino Primário: discursos dos jornais “Folha de Minas” e “Estado de Minas” / Vargas government, work and primary education: speeches from Folha de Minas and Estado de Minas
Authors: Vaz Aline Choucair
Published: December 2017

Neste artigo analiso a concepção de trabalho no ensino primário de Minas Gerais do período de 1930 a 1954. As fontes utilizadas são os jornais “Folha de Minas” e “Estado de Minas” do período contemplado. Nos resultados destacou-se a ênfase da construção de uma identidade nacional coletiva com realce à criança “a ser preparada para o trabalho” e um investimento no trabalho industrial, principalmente nas escolas urbanas. Também é perceptível um acirramento dos discursos que convergem para a intolerância ao não-trabalho e ao não-trabalhador, em um “terreno fértil” potencializado pelo governo varguista. Os principais referenciais teóricos desta pesquisa sustentam-se nos conceitos de política de massas e propaganda, de Maria Helena Rolim Capelato; cultura política de Ângela de Castro Gomes, além de referências da História da Educação que discutem a relação da cultura política com as práticas educativas.

Его деятельность достаточно освещена в научной литературе, как в советский период, так и в последние годы. В 2012 г. общественность республики отмечала 110-летие со дня его рождения, проводилась отдельная научная конференция.Особую ценность для изучения деятельности С. К. Тока после вступления Тувы в состав СССР имеют его дневниковые записи — более 20 блокнотов 1954–1964 гг., которые автор делал на русском языке. Они были переданы автору статьи супругой Х. А. Анчима-Тока и хранятся ныне в его личном архиве. Сам автор был преемником С. К. Тока на посту первого секретаря Тувинского обкома КПСС (1973–1991).Записи в блокнотах отражают деятельность С. К. Тока, его руководящий стиль, методы работы, его убеждения. Приведены отрывки из записей: о людях, о быте, о промышленности, об идеологической работе, о работе школ и учителей. Материал иллюстрирован отсканированными копиями отдельных страниц дневников, показывающих как особенности письма автора, так и характер записей.

Published: December 2017

В статье рассказывается об экспозиционной деятельности Тувинского краеведческого музея (ныне — Национального музея имени Алдан Маадыр Республики Тыва), в которой отразились преобразования, происходившие в период Тувинской Автономной области (1940-1950-е гг.). Автор анализирует тематико-экспозиционный план музея, показывает особенности организации музейной работы в этот период, ее взаимосвязь с общими государственными задачами социалистического строительства.От тувинского музея в эти годы требовалось ярче популяризировать опыт передовых предприятий, колхозов, лучших людей производства, достижения культурного строительства. Необходимо было делать зримой картину нового общества, создать в ярких, запоминающихся образах характер исторической эпохи. Соответственно в музее был проведен ряд мер. В 1947 г. был создан новый отдел социалистического строительства.Среди непременных материалов экспозиции стали копии государственных документов, а также обязательные темы по жизни и деятельности В. И. Ленина и И. В. Сталина, о советской власти, развитии сельского хозяйства в Туве, промышленности, электрификации, образовании, медицине, культуре. В статье приводятся цифры показателей, табличные данные, названия хозяйств, имена передовиков производства и пр. Текст иллюстрирован фоторепродукциями из фондов Национального музея им. Алдан Маадыр Республики Тыва.
Вторжение китайского и монгольского отрядов в Туву (1918–1919 гг.)
Authors: Samdan Ayana A.
Published: December 2017

После установления протектората России над Урянхайским краем в 1914 г., последовали попытки введения российской административной системы и судоустройства, которые не всегда учитывали особенности устоявшегося внутреннего самоуправления тувинцев.Революции 1917 г. в России, последовавшая за ними гражданская война имели свое влияние и на Туву, обострив без того сложную политическую ситуацию. Свою лепту в это внесли Ургинское и Пекинское правительства, которые действовали согласованно по занятию территории Тувы. Была проведена подготовительная работа непосредственно рядом с пограничной линией и в 1919 г. в Туву проникли вооруженные отряды китайцев и монголов, которые бесплатно пользовались продовольствием и подводами, а местное население участвовало в мобилизации людских ресурсов. Омское правительство было не в состоянии оказать какую-либо существенную помощь.В статье на основе архивных документов и ряда работ российских и зарубежных исследователей предпринята попытка уточнения причин, хода и результата вооруженного конфликта.
Democracia constitucional, dignidade humana e o mal enraizado
Authors: Graber Mark
Published: December 2017

Cientistas políticos e professores de direito da minha geração são capazes de observar aquilo que compreendemos sobre o constitucionalismo pois nós estamos sentados confortavelmente nos ombros do Professor Sandy Levinson. Enquanto estamos nesta confortável posição elevada, nós vemos melhor a Constituição fora das Cortes, a relação entre direito e literatura, a maneira em que os monumentos refletem e formam regimes políticos, as complexidades da tortura em um regime democrático, a ascensão do Estado de vigilância e o novo presidencialismo, as virtudes e desafios da diversidade, a natureza de crises constitucionais, falhas elementares na Constituição dos Estados Unidos e a alternativa da constituição estadual. A publicação de Compromisso e Constitucionalismo irá facilitar o engajamento acadêmico com o alto preço de compartilhar o espaço constitucional com aqueles cujos valores são fundamentalmente diferentes dos nossos.

Objective: This research elaborated role of alpha mangostin and xanthone on glucose tolerance and Glucose Transporter
(GLUT)-4 by measuring blood glucose level and GLUT-4 expression on cardiac cell musce and adipocyte cell culture.
Methods: Glucose tolerance test were conducted using male wistar rat divided into 9 groups, which were normal, control
(D-Glucose induced only), glibenclamide, various doses of -mangostin and xanthone (5, 10, 20 mg/kgbw). All group
induced by D-glucose 3 g/kg orally 30 minutes later. Blood glucose levels changes were observed at 90th and 150th minute.
GLUT-4 study conducted for 3 weeks on mice that divided into 10 groups which were normal, diabetic control mice
(alloxan induced only), metformin, glibenclamide, various doses of -mangostin and xanthone (5, 10, 20 mg/kgbw).
GLUT-4 expression than observed on cardiac cell muscle. While other study observed GLUT-4 expression on adipocyte
cell culture that treated with -mangostin/xanthone/pioglitazone. Results: Normal group (non-diabetic) responds slightly
to the administration of glucose in glucose tolerance test. Blood glucose level in every group in the 90th up to 150th minute
decreased significantly when compared to the positive control group (p >0.05). This shows that glucose tolerance does not
occur in all treated groups althought they were treated with high glucose consentration. GLUT-4 expressions in mice
cardiac-musce cells that treated with -mangostin/xanthone/ glibenclamide/metformin significantly increased when
compared to the positive control group, except in group treated with xanthone 5 mg/kgbw. GLUT-4 expressions also
increase in adipocytes that treated with 3.125 mM; 6.25 mM and 25 mM 𝛼–mangostin, equivalent to pioglitazone. All
treatment group results significantly different when compared with control. The effect of 𝛼–mangostin on GLUT-4
expression better than xanthone’s. Conclusion: Alpha mangostin and xanthone are two substances that showed protective
effect to glucose tolerance and also have potential effect to improve insulin resistance by increasing GLUT-4 on cardiac
muscle and adipocyte.
