Authors: Astuti Erni Puji , Wijaya Ariyadi , Hanum Farida
Published: May 2024

Teachers’ beliefs are a teacher's subjective perspective about teaching practices in the classroom, which influence the actions and decisions that will be taken in facilitating student learning activities. A scale can serve as an effective tool for assessing teachers' beliefs in ethnomathematics-based numeracy learning. This study aims to evaluate teachers' belief in ethnomathematics-based numeracy learning scale. The data analysis will employ the Rasch model and involve 75 mathematics teachers from junior high schools in Central Java. The teachers' belief in an ethnomathematics-based numeracy learning scale was initially subjected to content validation by three experts. The cumulative percentage outcomes are according to the four dimensions, namely teachers' beliefs about numeracy, teachers' beliefs about the role of ethnomathematics in numeracy learning, teachers' beliefs about ethnomathematics-based numeracy teaching, and teachers' beliefs about ethnomathematics-based numeracy learning, amount to 90.28% for a total of 20 items. Following this, the researchers utilized the Rasch model analysis to investigate teachers' belief in an ethnomathematics-based numeracy learning scale. The analysis involved the use of ten measurement features. Based on the results, it was deemed imperative to remove 30 individuals to maintain adherence to the predetermined criteria. Subsequently, the data obtained from the remaining 45 participants was analyzed using the Rasch model. The study of 20 teachers’ belief items yielded three items, necessitating the exclusion of the privacy construct. The results indicate that the 17 questions possess robustness, validity, and reliability, rendering them suitable for assessing teachers' beliefs in ethnomathematics-based numeracy learning.

Authors: Stopková Mária , Kolařík Petr , Jurkovič Martin , Sosedová Jarmila
Published: May 2024

Currently, there are many mathematical models and tools for inventory management and optimization. Based on the literature review, the authors conclude that inventory management tools and models are mostly one-sided and focused on the cost aspect of the inventory management process. The research goal was to propose a set of criteria for inventory optimization as a basis for the development of an inventory management model whose structure would consider both the economic aspect and the stochasticity of demand and the reliability of delivery. Optimization criteria are based on extensive analyses of influences and correlations between logistic chain subsystems in relation to inventory. The interactions of the subsystems are then mathematically expressed, which represents the main output of the created set of optimization criteria. The defined criteria can be used as a basis for creating a new optimization model of inventory management.

Authors: Ding Yanwen , Xu Yuxin , Tan Xiujuan , Alizadeh Mohammad , Alizadeh Hamzeh
Published: May 2024

Background: Several observational studies have suggested that maternal exposure during pregnancy to arsenic is associated with the risk of preterm birth (PTB); however, available evidence is inconsistent. Therefore, we aimed to explore the relation of maternal exposure to arsenic to PTB risk.
Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was carried out from inception to April 2023 in PubMed and Scopus to retrieve all relevant studies. A pooled odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was employed using a random effects model to test the association.
Results: As a result, 14 eligible studies, with 12,619 participants, were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, the pooled OR of all analyzed studies indicated that higher maternal arsenic exposure is significantly related to the 1.12-fold increased odds of PTB (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.04-1.21), with a remarkable heterogeneity across studies (P = <0.001, I2 = 70.9%). This association was found in prospective cohort studies (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.05-1.26), but not in non-cohort studies. In the stratified analysis, the majority of subgroups supported the association of arsenic with PTB.
Conclusion: Maternal exposure to arsenic during pregnancy is directly linked to the odds of PTB. Future studies are suggested to investigate the effectiveness of specific measures to decrease exposure to arsenic in high-risk communities, particularly in pregnant women.

Authors: Guofang Wei , Zhang Wei , Zhu Zhen
Published: May 2024

Background: COVID-19 infection is transmitted easily and quickly, exposing medical care workers, especially nursing workers, to tremendous stress. Therefore, identifying the factors influencing the sleep quality of nurses and implementing corresponding interventions are conducive to improving the sleep quality of nurses and enhancing their nursing quality.
Methods: Form September to December 2022, a survey-based evaluation was conducted on 1074 front-line clinical nurses randomly selected from three hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China. Based on the survey results, 152 nurses were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 76 nurses in each group. A 2-month psychological intervention based on the self-transcendence theory was conducted, and the two groups were compared before and after the intervention.
Results: The average PSQI score of nurses was 7.19±3.65, with 471 of them suffering from poor sleep (PSQI>7), accounting for 45.46%. In addition, 57.10% of the nurses were under excessive stress, whereas 62% of them had a Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score of ≥50. After the intervention, the PSQI score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group, with the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Clinical nurses in tertiary hospitals have poor sleep quality and more severe stress and anxiety problems during COVID-19 than during non-epidemic periods. Clinical interventions based on the self-transcendence theory can effectively improve the sleep quality of nurses. Results of this study provide reference for enhancing the sleep quality of nurses and ensuring their physical and mental health during epidemic.

The aim of the study was to clarify the changes in the pigment composition of Rhodopseudomonas yavorovii IMB B-7620 under the influence of ferric(III) citrate, cobalt(II) chloride, copper(II) chloride and potassium bichromate. Materials and methods. R. yavorovii IMV B-7620 bacteria were grown at + 27 ... + 30 °C for 14 days in ATCC No 1449 medium supplemented with 1.0–12.0 mM ferric(ІІІ) citrate, 1–15 mM cobalt(II) chloride, 0.050–0.500 mM copper(II) chloride, or 0.010–0.045 mM potassium dichromate. The bacterial cells were sedimented, resuspended in acetone, and disintegrated by sonication. The resulting suspension was kept for 24 hours at -20 °C, after which it was centrifuged, and 0.5  ml of supernatant were filtered through membrane filters (pore diameter 0.45 μm). Chromatographic separation of pigments was performed using a high-performance liquid chromatography system. Results. On the 14th day of cultivation under the influence of heavy metal compounds, the qualitative and quantitative changes in the pigment composition in R. yavorovii IMV B-7620 cells occurred. Under the influence of ferric(ІІІ) citrate, cobalt(II) chloride, and potassium dichromate, a decrease in the pigment content in R. yavorovii IMV B-7620 cells was detected. The content of lycopene decreased by 22.1–83.9%, bacteriochlorophyll a – by 33.8–86.0%, compared to the control. Under the influence of copper(II) chloride, not only the pigment content but also the quantity of its isomers increased. Under the influence of the studied metal compounds, a small amount of anhydrorhodovibrin was detected in the cells, whereas it was not detected in the control. Conclusions. Under the influence of heavy metal compounds, changes in the qualitative and quantitative composition of pigments occur in the cells of bacteria R. yavorovii IMV B-7620. Ferric(III) citrate, cobalt(II) chloride and potassium bichromate caused a decrease in the pigment content in R. yavorovii IMV B-7620 cells. Under the influence of copper(II) chloride, not only the content of pigments increased, but also the quantity of their homologues and isomers, in particular lycopene, which can perform a protective function. Under the influence of all the studied metal salts, a small content of anhydrorhodovibrin was detected in the cells, which was not detected in the control. It can also contribute to the protection of cells from stressors.
The Relationship between Self-Efficacy and Self-Regulated Learning Strategies of EFL College Students
Authors: Miller Antony D. , Namsrai Enkhchimeg
Published: May 2024

The research examines the facets of student-centred practices that students believe to be most advantageous. We focus specifically on the self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) techniques of English as a foreign language (EFL) college students since these strategies support students' progress in learning the language. In Mongolian English classes, teacher-centred instruction—in which teachers instruct pupils in a foreign language—remains the most common method. It is discouraged for students to focus on their learning strategies and content understanding. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and SRL strategies of Mongolian EFL college students. A correlation analysis between variables was used to investigate the inter-relationship between self-efficacy and SRL strategies in L2 speaking of EFL students. The findings indicate that students who are driven to learn English are more likely to manage their time and exertion in the process of self-learning, based on the major findings of this study. Because the results clearly show that English instruction at Mongolia's higher education level has improved, the findings are especially noteworthy.

Authors: Wanne Valtteri , Wang Xiaolu , Sell Anna
Published: May 2024

A case study has been conducted to substantiate the effects of the lockdown imposed on the Uusimaa area in Finland. In particular, the case study aims to find out if the Uusimaa lockdown has mitigated the spread of the coronavirus from Uusimaa to other parts of Finland. The study shows that after the lockdown was imposed, it took approximately two weeks before the daily count of new COVID-19 cases outside the Uusimaa area reached its peak and started to decrease. The phenomenon aligns with the findings of relevant studies that a peak in the curve of diagnosed cases of infection occurs 14 to 18 days from lockdown. It also emerges that the lifting of the lockdown on Uusimaa caused immediate outflowing mobility but did not result in an increased number of new cases in other parts of Finland.

Authors: Woick Adrian , Rinn Heidi , Grogorick Linda , Mühleisen Tamara , Markgraf Daniel
Published: May 2024

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions, the need for a rapid conversion of teaching to digital formats has increased significantly. Not all teaching formats and content are suitable for traditional video conferencing, so the Metaverse, an interconnection of virtual worlds, has experienced a significant upswing in the education sector. Therefore, we conduct a systematic literature review to determine the current state of research on the Metaverse in higher education and to identify its definitions, benefits and challenges, types, and technologies. The initially found 5,539 papers were systematically filtered to 92 fully coded articles. Our findings reveal a lack of standardized definitions, early-stage prototyping, a lack of prescriptive design knowledge, and a lack of pedagogical and methodological concepts and blueprints. These findings reveal significant research gaps and lead to the derivation of future research streams.
Comparative Analysis of the Personal Bankruptcy Model and Their Effects in the Legal Orders in Slovenia and Croatia
Authors: Šaina Rea
Published: May 2024

Personal bankruptcy is a procedure in which a natural person who is over-indebted or insolvent is helped by paying off the debts with his or her own assets. It is an institution that is changing and is increasingly being used by people in situations of over-indebtedness. In practice, it has become popular because debtors seek to obtain a discharge of their liabilities by concealing their assets, thereby failing to achieve the essential objective of personal insolvency - the equal and simultaneous repayment of creditors. The following analysis focuses on the differences and similarities between the Slovenian and the Croatian legal systems in the area of personal bankruptcy and the legal solutions offered by both legal systems. Particular attention is paid to a comparative legal analysis of statistical data showing the importance of personal bankruptcy over selected years. The analysis also addresses a peculiarity of the Croatian legal system - "simple" consumer bankruptcy, which is not known in the Slovenian legal order, and critically assesses the obstacles and dilemmas that arise in practice.
Unmasking Biases and Mapping the Landscape of AI Adoption in Diverse Business Functions Through a Delphi Study
Authors: Sudarshan Amogha Ammava , Seeber Isabella
Published: May 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are exceedingly being introduced in various business sectors as a way to improve efficiency and drive overall organisational performance. Prior research has uncovered many success and failure factors influencing the adoption of these tools. However, in the absence of a common understanding between practitioners and researchers, factors deemed theoretically significant do not always align with reality, resulting in a researcher bias in AI adoption literature. Additionally, these factors and their priorities depend on specific business functions, deeming existing one-size-fits-all AI adoption theories incapable of explaining these nuances. To address these shortcomings, this study investigates the existence of a potential researcher bias and establishes factors influencing AI adoption in different business functions through a 2-fold, 3-round, 3-panel Delphi study. The findings establish a potential researcher bias and confirm that factors influencing adoption, and their priorities, differ by business functions. This study contributes to literature by first establishing the potential researcher bias and then furthering the understanding of factors influencing adoption for different business contexts. In a pivotal contribution to practice, this study enables organisations to foster better adoption practices based on different business functions.

Authors: Moreira Glaubia Ribeiro , Oliveira Marian
Published: May 2024

Objetivamos investigar a compreensão leitora de pessoas com a Trissomia do cromossomo 21 (T21), com base em análise racional do teste cloze. Três pessoas com T21 participaram deste estudo, com idades entre 15 e 18 anos, cursando entre o 7º e o 9º do ensino fundamental II, em rede regular de ensino. Todos foram submetidos a três testes cloze: um rígido (TAYLOR, 1953) e dois racionais (KLEIMAN, 1989). Em cada teste, os participantes tinham que preencher dez lacunas, recuperando palavras apagadas do texto original. Os dados foram analisados, seguindo modelo da escala de aceitabilidade sintática e semântica (CLARKE E BURDELL, 1977 apud LEFFA, 1996). Nossos resultados mostraram baixo desempenho dos três participantes no preenchimento das lacunas, já que observamos pouca aceitabilidade sintática e semântica das palavras usadas para preencher as lacunas. Isso demonstra dificuldades em usar o contexto e o conhecimento de mundo para recuperação de significados e o conhecimento linguístico para relacionar as palavras escolhidas com termos presentes no texto, causando, assim, problemas na compreensão leitora. Acreditamos que essas dificuldades estão relacionados com as especificidades da pessoa com T21, como atraso cognitivo, comprometimento de linguagem e de memória, as quais contribuem para dificuldade na elaboração de inferências, uso demasiado de análise-síntese e uso inadequado e/ou inexistente de estratégias metacognitivas.

Published: May 2024

Neste artigo, exploramos a relação entre a linguagem oral e o desenvolvimento da compreensão leitora, com o objetivo de demonstrar a conexão entre a linguagem oral e os elementos-chave da literacia: decodificação, vocabulário e escrita. Com base em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, discutimos estratégias que promovem o aprimoramento da linguagem oral dos alunos e, por conseguinte, sua compreensão e produção oral e escrita. Destacamos também a importância da linguagem oral ao ajudar os alunos a organizar seus pensamentos, selecionar palavras adequadas e formar frases coerentes, habilidades cruciais também para a escrita. Argumentamos ainda que uma instrução focada na linguagem oral é essencial para o sucesso dos alunos na leitura, pois, ao priorizar estratégias instrucionais que estimulem a linguagem oral, os professores auxiliam os alunos a expressar suas ideias, expandir seu vocabulário e desenvolver sua consciência fonológica e sua fluência.

Com base nos pressupostos do Círculo de Bakhtin, neste artigo, tem-se por objetivo discutir a expansão da consciência socioideológica do professor em situação de ensino a aluno que apresenta condições peculiares de aprendizagem, a partir de práticas de formação colaborativa com ênfase na leitura e na escrita, pautadas em um plano social, valorativo e ideológico da língua(gem). Trata-se, assim, de uma pesquisa qualitativa e interpretativa, na perspectiva de um estudo de caso, a levar em conta a prática de um professor, de 4º ano, do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública, em sala de aula que apresenta um aluno com condições peculiares de aprendizagem. Os dados são provenientes de um trabalho colaborativo desenvolvido com o professor em nível teórico, metodológico e prático, tendo como cerne as atividades de leitura e escrita. Os resultados apontam que: a) o professor busca alternativas em sala de aula que possam promover o desenvolvimento da leitura e da escrita do aluno com condições peculiares de aprendizagem; b) as interações discursivas entre professor e pesquisador, no trabalho colaborativo, propiciaram a expansão da consciência socioideológica do professor no ensino da leitura e da escrita em sala de aula, sob uma ótica dialógica, contribuindo para que todos os alunos compreendam e trabalhem a língua(gem) em sua integridade viva.
LEITURA NO COTIDIANO DA CRIANÇA COM SÍNDROME DE DOWN

Analisa a participação da família ou responsáveis no desenvolvimento da  capacidade leitora de crianças com síndrome de Down, na faixa etária dos 5 aos 11 anos de idade. Essas crianças estão cursando do segundo ao quinto ano do ensino fundamental. As pessoas com síndrome de Down possuem déficit cognitivo e, consequentemente, raciocínio mais lento. É esse posicionamento que nos faz reeditar a questão problema proposto por Souza, em 2017 - “A ausência de trabalhos sobre síndrome de Down que discutam as questões de letramento nos faz refletir: até que ponto se tem considerado a constituição da pessoa com síndrome de Down enquanto leitor?”. Mais especificamente, qual a participação da família ou responsáveis por essas crianças na formação delas como leitoras? Essa é a pergunta que trazemos para o contexto da cidade de Goiânia, para os usuários da biblioteca da Associação de Síndrome de Down. A pesquisa é exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, utilizaram-se questionários enviados a seis mães e pais ou responsáveis pelas crianças que frequentam e/ou fazem atividades na Biblioteca AsDown. Os resultados revelam famílias que incentivam seus filhos no processo de aquisição da leitura desde bebê. Apesar das dificuldades presentes na aquisição da linguagem e a limitação cognitiva, os responsáveis acreditam que investir na leitura auxilia seus filhos na convivência em sociedade e na compreensão do mundo ao seu redor. Conclui-se que a criança com SD, na perspectiva de seus responsáveis, pode se constituir leitora a partir do seu entendimento, e da capacidade criativa de imaginar um enredo para determinadas imagens expressas nas páginas do livro.

Published: May 2024

Narrador, locutor, ator, leitor ou ledor: no contexto dos audiolivros, esses são alguns dos principais termos utilizados para definir o agente da voz responsável por realizar a leitura em voz alta de um texto nesse tipo de mídia. Em vista desse cenário, o presente artigo busca definir qual, dessa lista, melhor se encaixa conceitualmente à essa entidade, além de estabelecer os diferentes tipos de performances vocais possíveis de serem percebidos em produtos de mídia desse formato auditivo. Sendo parte integrante de uma pesquisa maior de Doutoramento que tem por foco, justamente, os audiolivros a partir da perspectiva dos Estudos de Intermidialidade por meio da teoria proposta por Lars Elleström (2021), junto a outros autores com proposições complementares, o presente artigo apresenta, em um primeiro momento, as relações entre o corpo humano enquanto uma mídia técnica de exposição. Em seguida, argumentamos os porquês do termo leder ser, entre as possibilidades, a que melhor define o agente da voz. A partir daí, expandimos tal nomenclatura a três tipos de ledores possíveis de serem encontrados nos produtos de audiolivro, com base na semiótica peirciana, os quais denominamos de ledor simbólico, ledor icônico e ledor indicial. Ao fim, apresentamos as conclusões chegadas com esse estudo e as possibilidades de desdobramentos a partir dele.
VARIAÇÃO DO PORTUGUÊS BRASILEIRO:

Published: May 2024

A cultura pop nipônica tem se mostrado cada dia mais difundida e consumida pelos jovens contemporâneos ocidentais (ALENCAR, 2010). Visto que os mangás e animes são tipos de narrativas apreciados pela classe dos estudantes (LUYTEN, 2012), aplicá-las em sala de aula para o ensino de língua materna pode suscitar resultados positivos. Casseb-Galvão e Neves (2017) defendem que inserir a dublagem e legendagem de obras televisivas e cinematográficas no ambiente escolar, também pode auxiliar educadores nas aulas de português. Por essa razão, o presente trabalho objetivou apresentar o anime japonês One Piece (1999-2023), de Eiichiro Oda, como um útil material pedagógico para se pensar a variação do português brasileiro. A dublagem do referido anime demonstrou utilizar diferentes elementos linguísticos, como a variação de faixa etária e, principalmente, a social, para caracterizar suas personagens. Consequentemente, essa narrativa possibilita discutir questões pertinentes, tais como hierarquização linguística, o que resulta na hierarquização social. Ainda, a adequação linguística que as personagens da trupe do chapéu de palha fazem em diferentes situações, permite afirmar que o bidialetalismo funcional (SOARES, 2017) é um dos prováveis caminhos para a ascensão social de alunos pertencentes às camadas populares no sistema capitalista brasileiro. O artigo evoca para análise as personagens Luffy, Chopper, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Robin e alguns outros secundários, oficiais da marinha, para se refletir as variedades estigmatizadas e de prestígio. Portanto, espera-se que com essa pesquisa, os animes possam ser vistos como possíveis aportes pedagógicos para o ensino de língua materna.
Koreańskie nazwy rodzinne – socjolingwistyczne aspekty komunikacji
Authors: Przybylska Alicja
Published: May 2024

W niniejszym artykule rozważaniom poddane zostały koreańskie nazwy osobowe oraz adresatywne formy pokrewieństwa, ich znaczenie w codziennej komunikacji oraz językowe i społeczne funkcje, jakie pełnią podczas nawiązywania i rozwijania relacji międzyludzkich. Rodzina i grupy bliskich są szczególnie istotne w procesie powstawania i zmieniania się poszczególnych form – stanowią ośrodek nauk, tradycji i praktyk związanych z nazewnictwem. Określenia pierwotnie funkcjonujące jedynie w obrębie wspólnoty spokrewnionych ze sobą osób współcześnie używane są nawet w kontakcie z ludźmi spoza rodziny, z którymi jest się w przyjacielskich stosunkach – co włącza ich tym samym do grupy, w której panują bliższe, familiarne relacje. Wyjątkowy charakter koreańskiego nazewnictwa osobowego oraz komunikacyjnie wykorzystywanych form zwrotu bezpośredniego skłania do wniosków o przywiązaniu Koreańczyków do precyzyjnego i rozmyślnego wyrażania myśli, a także istocie wartości, jaką dla wspólnoty jest sam język.

Celem pracy jest opis pochodzenia i struktury słowotwórczej zebranego materiału toponimicznego, uwzględniającego ojkonimy związane pierwszo- lub drugorzędnie semantycznie ze światem zwierząt lub roślin. Wśród 569 ojkonimów z terenu powiatu garwolińskiego możemy wyszczególnić 152 onimy nawiązujące do roślin bądź zwierząt. Trzonem artykułu jest opis semantyczno-strukturalny badanego materiału według klasyfikacji stworzonej przez Witolda Taszyckiego, a zmodyfikowanej przez Władysława Makarskiego. W zgromadzonym materiale nazewniczym przeważają nazwy związane z roślinami (76% całości). Wśród nich największą grupę semantyczną stanowią ojkonimy odarboralne inspirowane topolami, brzozami, grabami i dębami. Zdecydowanie mniej liczne nazwy odzwierzęce (24% całości) semantycznie odnoszą się do zwierząt wodnych i wilków. Podsumowanie artykułu zawiera syntezę uzyskanych wyników, ukazujących miejsce odzwierzęcych i odroślinnych nazw miejscowych w pejzażu toponimicznym powiatu garwolińskiego.
