Authors: Siahaan Ariati Isabella , Solihat Yutu
Published: August 2021

Pendahuluan : Bagi pasien ToF, kehamilan dan melahirkan merupakan penyebab morbiditas (62,5%) bahkan mortalitas (10%) dan berefek nyata bagi fetus. Anestesia regional dan anestesia umum dapat dilakukan pada pasien dengan penyakit jantung, walaupun regional anestesia terutama spinal anestesia lebih agresif menurunkan keadaan hemodinamik pasien yang dapat membahayakan, namun saat ini ada tehnik menggunakan dosis rendah bupivakain 5- 7,5 mg dengan opioid sebagai adjuvan untuk meminimalkan agresifitas penurunan hemodinamik yang dapat membahayakan pasien.Kasus : Wanita 23 tahun, G1P0A0, berat badan 48 kg hamil 35-36 minggu dirawat di RS karena sesak nafas dan ingin melahirkan. Riwayat penyakit dahulu sesak saat masih anak-anak, riwayat biru bila beraktifitas dan didiagnosa penyakit jantung kongenital. Digunakan anestesa spinal dengan bupivakain dosis rendah 0,5% 5 mg (1 ml) dengan adjuvan fentanyl 25 ug (0,5 ml).  Blok didapatkan mencapai dermatom thorakal 4.Lama operasi 30 menit dengan sistolik antara 90-120 mmHg, diastolik antara 55-80 mmHg dan denyut nadi antara 100-112 kali/menit. lahir bayi laki-laki, APGAR 6-7, berat badan 2100 gram. Post operasi pasien dirawat di Intensive Care Unit, dan selama perawatan kondisi hemodinamik stabil.Ringkasan : Teknik anestesi blok spinal dengan dosis rendah, 1 ml, Bupivakain Hiperbarik 0,5 % ditambah dengan adjuvan fentanyl 25 mcg dinilai cukup memuaskan sebagai manajemen anestesi pada kasus ini. Efek sinergis dari anestesi lokal dengan dosis rendah dan opiod memberikan keuntungan besar untuk mendapatkan anestesi yang adekuat, sehingga mengurangi resiko dan tingkat keparahan hipotensi.

This study aimed to find out the Comparison of the Maguindanaon Traditional Marriage and the Islamic form of Marriage. Specifically, the study seeks to find out the Socio-demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, Marital Status and educational attainment.  The Requisites of the Maguindanaon Traditional form of Marriage and the Requisites of Islamic forms of Marriage are identified in this study. Also, the factors to a successful marriage in terms of Cultural / familial, Economic, Spiritual factor and the difference between the Maguindanaon Marriage and that of the Islamic Marriage system are the focused of this study.

This study made use of expost facto research design particularly descriptive ethnographic in approach. This study was conducted in the thirty four barangays of municipality of Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao. The respondents of this study were individuals who have sufficient information on Traditional Marriage of the Maguindanaon and Islamic form of Marriage. There were 200 respondents for the entire municipality. 100 respondents are those members of the Al-Hiqma organization, and one hundred (100) respondents were from Maguindanaon local folk who had sufficient information about Maguindanaon traditional marriage, and used the simple random sampling procedures. A survey questionnaire was used for the respondents who can read and write and for the respondents who have no knowledge on reading and writing used interview method.

 

Based on the findings of the study, the beliefs and practices of the Maguindanaon in terms of marriage were handed to them by their forefathers through series of generations down to present. These beliefs and practices were counted as legacies of the past that remained a living heritage of the present generations. The Maguindanaon tradition on marriage is still primitive in many aspects like the negotiation of third parties, imposition of dowry, man’s servitude to his in-laws and many of the rituals of the past are still seen in the present time. Education, both Islamic and Western have influenced the marriage practices of some Maguindanaons in the urban society as some of their marriage ceremony are held in hotels and restaurants. The augmentation of the materialistic nature of maguindanaon traditional marriage has been maintained and increased due to the devaluation of the Philippine currencies.

Innovative Environment Within Organization’s Structure- Case of Oman
Authors: Matriano Maria Teresa
Published: August 2021

In today’s age of modernization, the concept of innovation is considered as one of the key factors for organizational growth. At the same time, organizations are expected to adapt culture and environment where innovation can continue to develop. It requires a coordinated efforts by different actors in organization in making sure that the activities and integration process meets the conditions for an effective application. In order to put together the various moving parts of an innovation integration, the organization also needs to evaluate its structure in order to ensure that the activities entailed in the innovation process are not interrupted by organizational bureaucracy. In the case of Oman, the conception of an innovative environment is challenged by a prevailing organizational structure that constitutes hierarchical attributes. The problem with hierarchical structure is that innovation and development are slow. In addition, there is not enough room for creative inputs to be recognized because the decision points rely on the center of authority within the organization. This empirical research highlights the concept of innovative environment within the organizational structures in Oman.
Strategic Approach to Innovation Management and Strategic Changes to Improve Innovation Management
Authors: Matriano Maria Teresa
Published: August 2021

Innovation can be described as developing new ideas and processes that aims to create new products or improving business processes. Organizations today looks into the concept of innovation as a way to increase value and develop new ways of doing business. On the other hand, adopting an innovation requires strategic management approaches in order to ensure that the current innovation implementations will yield significant improvements. With innovation comes change and organizations will need not only to adopt innovative processes, but should also be able to implement change; this is when innovation management becomes apparent. Every organization adopt innovation approach of varying scale such modest, moderate, and strong. From each approach strategies can be derived depending on the how the innovation will be used and how it will impact the organization as a whole. In the case of Oman, different strategies were created to leverage on the capabilities of an organization. Some organizations form partnerships to achieve a common goal and to create a platform in which managing the implemented innovation becomes a shared responsibility of the partnering organizations. In some cases, strategies employed in innovation management is being done to accelerate development as a form of innovation improvement outcome.
PRO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY FORESTRY POLICY: A SOLUTION
Authors: Antoh Alfred
Published: August 2021

The Papuan people have always lived and interacted with the forest. The forest is a place to live where almost all of their needs are taken from the forest. Today's forest management has far-reaching impacts on increasingly marginalized communities. The purpose of this paper is to present thoughts on a community-friendly forest management model by taking into account the advantages and disadvantages when forests are managed by communities to improve their welfare. This paper generates an idea about the importance of collaborative management to increase the role of the community as a solution. Taking into account the communal nature of the forest tenure system in Papua, it is necessary to take strategic steps to protect forest resources in a targeted manner.

A non-experimental survey was conducted to investigate the instructional leadership practices of senior high school heads in Ghana. Data were collected using a closed-ended Likert type items from a simple randomly selected sample of a defined population of school heads of senior high schools in Ghana. Data collected were analysed using rank-ordered means and independent samples test of differences of means. The study findings revealed that the school heads frequently adopt major key practices of instructional leadership. However, the school heads most frequently adopt the practice of communicating the school’s goals. The study further revealed that differences exist the frequency at which heads of high performing schools and those of non-high performing schools adopt instructional leadership dimensions of defining the school’s goals and promoting a positive school learning climate.
Social Welfare at The Grassroots and Contributions to National Development
Authors: Jeremiah Ugwuoke Paulinus
Published: August 2021

Globally, social problems are taking different dimensions, which keep evolving. Approaches to tackle these problems cannot only rely on improved economic power and privileges, whereby some global citizens cannot participate economically. This could be because of failed biological organs, weak institutions, or social disorganization. The consequences manifest in poverty, mortality, and vulnerability. While it is important for societies to develop economically, it is likewise important that they develop socially, by inclusion and social security. This is the essence of social welfare, as gaining increased attention across the globe. This paper looks at the concepts of social welfare and social development across continents and argues its importance to the achievement of sustainable development goals, especially for developing nations like Nigeria. It relies on a traditional review of the literature and a framework of models of welfare put forward by Titmus to include the residual, achievement-performance, and institutional models.

A general framework of multiple coordinative data fusion modules for real-time and heterogeneous data sources
Authors: Kashinath Shafiza Ariffin , Mostafa Salama A. , Lim David , Mustapha Aida , Hafit Hanayanti , Darman Rozanawati
Published: August 2021

Designing a data-responsive system requires accurate input to ensure efficient results. The growth of technology in sensing methods and the needs of various kinds of data greatly impact data fusion (DF)-related study. A coordinative DF framework entails the participation of many subsystems or modules to produce coordinative features. These features are utilized to facilitate and improve solving certain domain problems. Consequently, this paper proposes a general Multiple Coordinative Data Fusion Modules (MCDFM) framework for real-time and heterogeneous data sources. We develop the MCDFM framework to adapt various DF application domains requiring macro and micro perspectives of the observed problems. This framework consists of preprocessing, filtering, and decision as key DF processing phases. These three phases integrate specific purpose algorithms or methods such as data cleaning and windowing methods for preprocessing, extended Kalman filter (EKF) for filtering, fuzzy logic for local decision, and software agents for coordinative decision. These methods perform tasks that assist in achieving local and coordinative decisions for each node in the network of the framework application domain. We illustrate and discuss the proposed framework in detail by taking a stretch of road intersections controlled by a traffic light controller (TLC) as a case study. The case study provides a clearer view of the way the proposed framework solves traffic congestion as a domain problem. We identify the traffic features that include the average vehicle count, average vehicle speed (km/h), average density (%), interval (s), and timestamp. The framework uses these features to identify three congestion periods, which are the nonpeak period with a congestion degree of 0.178 and a variance of 0.061, a medium peak period with a congestion degree of 0.588 and a variance of 0.0593, and a peak period with a congestion degree of 0.796 and a variance of 0.0296. The results of the TLC case study show that the framework provides various capabilities and flexibility features of both micro and macro views of the scenarios being observed and clearly presents viable solutions.
Effectiveness of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) living mulch on weed suppression and yield of maize (Zea mays L.)
Authors: Mas-Ud Mustapha , Dokurugu Fuseini , Kaba James Seutra
Published: August 2021

Weed control plays a vital role in achieving higher maize yield. We tested the hypothesis that interseeding cowpea as living mulch with maize will reduce biomass and diversity of weeds, and improve soil physical properties and maize yield. In 2017/2018 cropping seasons, a 2 × 4 factorial experiment was laid in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Savelugu Municipality of Northern Ghana. The factorial treatment consisted of three cowpea varieties interseeded with two maize genotypes and a control (maize with no living mulch). Our result showed that, in both seasons, weed biomass and diversity, soil temperature, and grain yield were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in control plots than in cowpea living mulch plots at all growth stages of both maize varieties. However, maize growth was not affected by weeds at tasseling. We established that cowpea varieties as living mulch in maize cropping have similar effect on soil moisture and temperature but have varying degrees of suppressing weeds and improving maize yield. The cowpea living mulch had weed biomass of 0.5 t ha−1 compared to 2.6 t ha−1 in the control. In addition, living mulch plots had maize grain of 2 t ha−1 and stover yield of 3 t ha−1 compared to 0.98 and 2 t ha−1 respectively in the control. In conclusion, choosing the appropriate time for intercropping living mulches and selection of plant species (growth and canopy cover) for living mulch are essential in suppressing growth of weeds.

Structural Model of Bacteriophage T4
Authors: Padilla-Sanchez Victor
Published: August 2021

Bacteriophage T4 is a virus that infects Escherichia coli, having dimensions of 90 nm in width and 200 nm in length (head and tail in extended form).[1] It is a quite common model organism that has been studied for a century by many important virologists, and even Watson and Crick after their elucidation of DNA. Structural characterisation of the bacteriophage’s individual proteins began in the 1980s,[2] and complexes of multiple proteins in the 1990s.[3] However, it has not yet been possible to structurally characterise the complete phage in atomic detail (though some have begun to come closer)[4] with multiple overall schematic models published.[5] The increasing power of computers and the RCSB structural database have made possible the construction of a single combined model of the entire bacteriophage T4 organism with atomic resolution components as described here.

Authors: Carmona Uzcategui Marly G. , Seale R. Daniel , Nistal França Frederico José
Published: August 2021

Red oak and white oak are common names of species that grow in the eastern United States with great economic importance. This study aimed to evaluate the visual, physical, and mechanical properties of small clear wood specimens of red oak (Quercus spp.) and white oak (Quercus spp.). The experiments were carried out on defect-free specimens extracted from boards supplied by the Stairbuilders Manufacturers Association (SMA) members. The material was obtained from sawmills located in the eastern half of the United States. A total of 181 boards (90 boards of red oak and 91 boards of white oak) were submitted for tests. Compression strength was found to be higher than the values published in past studies. Red oak exhibited higher MOE and MOR values compared to white oak. The mechanical properties for red oak and white oak have not changed substantially because the average values remain in a range that is very close to the values published in the past 100 years. Thus, the values from the Wood Handbook can still be used for engineering purposes.
CHORIONIC GONADOTROPINE: STRUCTURAL HETEROGENEITY, METABOLIC PATHWAY, FUNCTIONS, OBTAINING AND POSSIBILITIES OF CLINICAL APPLICATION
Authors:   Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kharkiv, Gulevsky A. K.
Published: August 2021

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is one of the key hormones needed for pregnancy sustaining. At the same time, it performs many other biological functions, which is due to the effect on the immune cells’ activity, the ability to bind to at least three types of receptors and activate various signaling cascades. Several structural forms of hCG and their combinations have been identified. This structural heterogeneity is the cause of variations not only in the degree and direction of the hormone functional activity, but in the mechanisms of its action, the degree of binding to other molecules and the conditions of dissociation as well. Aim. To review the current understanding of the role and mechanisms of the biological activity of hCG and its isoforms, as well as the identification of physicochemical factors that affect the completeness of hCG release from biological raw materials and the stability of the isolated drug during further storage. Methods. A computerized literature search was performed using three electronic databases from 1980 to 2020. Descriptive and comparative analyzes were performed for discovered studies in molecular biology, biochemistry and clinical practice. Results. A detailed biochemical and physiological analysis of hCG and its related molecules are provided in this review. The features of measuring its content in tissues, isolation and purification methods, difficulties associated with low-temperature storage, as well as the spectrum of hCG preparations clinical use of and their proposed new therapeutic possibilities are considered. Conclusions. HCG is characterized by a wide range of versatile functions, and its field of application in laboratory diagnostics and clinical practice is still expanding. At the same time, to elucidate the mechanisms of its multiple therapeutic effects, including antitumor action, as well as the mechanisms of dissociation under conditions of low-temperature storage, which can solve the problem of maintaining the stability of this hormone, it remains relevant.
Examining Linkage for National Economic Policy Development
Authors: Swasito Adhipradana , Aribawa Aang
Published: August 2021

Purpose. To study critically examines links as a criterion in shaping Indonesia’s economic policy and to evaluate the relationship between sectors' forward linkages and sectors' contribution to net export earnings, employment generation, and value-added creation of Indonesia's manufacturing. 

Design/Method/Approach. Statistical analysis of the industries sectors' forward linkages and sectors' contribution to net export earnings, employment generation, and value-added creation of Indonesia's manufacturing between 1995 and 2005.

Findings.  The policies based on intersectoral input linkages have been prevalent and implemented in many developing countries. Indonesia's Government has frequently introduced the policies based on linkages. It is established that a sector with high linkages does not always provide a greater contribution to the economy. During the research window, sectors with lower forward linkages significantly contributed to Indonesian net export earnings, job creation, and value-added. However, this study does not mean that high connections are bad. This study argues that policymakers should also take into account factors other than relationships.

Practical implications. The results of analysis links of Indonesia`s performance in the industries from 1995 to 2000 suggest that the policies based on interconnections, such as policies to provide greater domestic added value, are unwarranted, and but there is no need to place too much emphasis by forward linkages in policymaking.

Originality/Value. This study emphasizes that all factors that are direct in the formulation of economic policy should be considered as comparative advantages.

Paper type. Empirical.

Plasma interleukin-6 levels correlate with survival in patients with bacterial sepsis and septic shock
Authors: Vivas Monica Chavez , Villamarin Guerrero Hector Fabio , Tascon Antonio Jose , Valderrama-Aguirre Augusto
Published: August 2021

In this study, IL-6 levels were assessed as inflammatory biomarker of bacterial sepsis in patients hospitalized at the ICU of the hospital of Colombia.

Materials and methods

Prospective study on 62 patients diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock. An ELISA assay was used to test serum levels of IL-6 at admission and 48 h after admission. Variables were analyzed by χ2 test (alfa <0.05). Multivariable Cox regression was used to determine the survival with the statistical program SPSS v23.00.

Results

Patient's median age was 53 years old and 59.7% were male. Lung was the most common primary site of infection (43.5%), and hypertension comorbidity with higher prevalence (40%). Infection by Gram negative bacteria were significantly more frequent among patients than Gram positive (P = 0.037). Overall, survival analysis showed that 10 (16.1%) patients died with a survival median of 7.00 +4.874 (2–3) days. In patients with sepsis we detected a significant decline in the average of IL-6 serum levels after 48 h of admission [7.50 (SD: 7.00–68.00) pg/mL vs. 68.00 [SD: 7.00–300.00] pg/mL (P = 0.000). Only 25% of patients with septic shock who presented high levels of IL-6 at the time of admission and at 48 h had a survival up to 15 days (P = 0.005).

Conclusion

We found significant differences between the plasma levels of IL-6 during the first 48 h after admission to the ICU among patients with sepsis and septic shock. Patients with sepsis had a significant decline in IL-6 levels, whereas in patients who developed septic shock, levels of this cytokine remained high and have a lower survival compared to those who maintained low levels of IL-6.

Reliability is a central aspect of hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs), which are promising candidates for embedded non-volatile memories. Besides the device performance, understanding the evolution of the ferroelectric behaviour of hafnium oxide over its lifetime in FeFETs is of major importance for further improvements. Here, we present the impact of the interface layer in FeFETs on the cycling behaviour and retention of ferroelectric silicon-doped hafnium oxide. Thicker interfaces are demonstrated to reduce the presence of antiferroelectric-like wake-up effects and to improve endurance. However, they show a strong destabilisation of one polarisation state in terms of retention. In addition, measurements of the Preisach density revealed additional insight in the wake-up effect of these metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) capacitors.

Development of Statistical Models for Predicting Losses based on the Characteristics of Discontinuities
Authors: Galkin Vladislav I. , Rezvukhina Daria V.
Published: August 2021

A method for predicting losses over the area of the deposit to minimize the risks of accidents and gas and oil and water showings for the Permian-Carboniferous reservoir of the Usinskoye field was developed. In addition, the analysis of the influence of faults on the number of losses in wells during drilling was carried out. Based on the more than 250 wells drilling analysis, it was revealed that a significant problem during drilling was the loss of drilling fluid. This complication was found in 46% of drilled wells. The intensity of the studied losses was in a wide range: from insignificant losses to strong ones, with a complete loss of mud circulation. The faults identified both from well drilling data and from seismic data were characterized by a different number of wells with and without losses. Using the combination of various statistical methods, individual and complex models for predicting losses in wells depending on the distance from the fault were obtained. Using multilevel probabilistic-statistical modeling, the study of the influence of faults on losses was carried out: initially, based on the data of all wells, regardless of the methods for identifying faults - the first-level model; by the method of identifying faults (drilling / seismic exploration) - second-level models; according to the data of individual faults - the model of the third level. At the fourth level, a complex model was built, which takes into account the calculation results obtained at the previous levels of statistical modeling. The presence of direct and inverse dependences of the absorption probability from the shortest distance to the fault was established. Using linear discriminant analysis, the results of predicting the probability of absorption were checked.
Degradation of Reactive Orange 16 dye with heterogeneous Fenton Process using magnetic nano-sized clay as catalyst: A central composite optimization study
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Dilara
Published: August 2021

In this study, Fe3O4/montmorillonite was synthesized as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the removal of Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) from aqueous solutions based on chemical oxygen demand (COD). System parameters such as H2O2 concentration, catalyst dose, pH, and reaction time were numerically optimized based on Central Composite Design (CCD). The catalyst was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), ζ potential, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The adsorption process contributed to the removal of RO16 but the heterogeneous Fenton process had a higher share and occurred faster than the adsorption process. Optimum conditions were determined as catalyst dosage:1.83 (g/L), H2O2 concentration:77.98 (mM), pH:3, and reaction time:60 min. Under these conditions, COD removal efficiency estimated from the model was 84.82% and found experimentally was 85.90%. Successful removal of RO16 from aqueous environments is possible with a heterogeneous Fenton process using Fe3O4/MMT.

Livebearer poeciliids, with few exceptions, are among the most popular and highly traded ornamental fish species. Therefore, they are frequently introduced to natural waters outside their native range mostly by the aquarium hobbyists. Here we report feral populations of two exotic poecilid species, the swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii) and the guppy (Poecilia reticulata), established in a hot spring in the Eastern Turkey. This is the first documented record of swordtail in Turkey and possibly the first records of the two species in the wider Euphrates Basin. More research is needed to address the potential impacts of these two poecilids on the native biota, and also their further spread chance and management options.
The resolution of ambiguous anaphora in English, Spanish, and Portuguese
Authors: Bruscato Amanda Maraschin , Baptista Jorge
Published: August 2021

This study aims to determine how (a) ambiguity resolution differs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; (b) L2 learners are influenced by their L1 regarding ambiguity resolution; and (c) the order of the clauses, (d) the salience of the anaphor, or (e) the choice of verbs may affect this process. A total of 181 people answered an online survey and selected the antecedent of the anaphor for 16 ambiguous sentences. The Position of Antecedent Strategy was tested for the three languages and the conclusion was that it applies to European and Brazilian Portuguese, but not for Spanish or English. While Spanish and English native speakers tend to interpret the subject of the subordinate clause as corresponding to the subject of the main clause, learners are influenced by their L1 and seem uncertain especially on how to resolve pronominal cataphora. Finally, we have concluded that semantics has a great influence on the resolution of ambiguous anaphora in these languages, and we suggest that it should be taken in consideration during the design of a study like this one.

Objetivos: estimar prevalência de infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 em residentes na região da Grande Vitória moradores de aglomerados subnormais e não subnormais; e, comparar características sociodemográficas e clínicas dos residentes totais (infectados e não infectados com o SARS-CoV-2), entre esses aglomerados.  Método: Estudo de prevalência de base populacional, por meio de teste sorológico realizado em 2020, com unidade de estudo em domicílios da Grande Vitória, agrupados em setores censitários classificados como Aglomerados sub-normais (AGSN) e os Aglomerados não sub-normais (AGNSN). Os dois grupos foram comparados quanto a prevalência e fatores associados. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência encontrada no AGSN foi 12,05% (IC 95% de 9,59 a 14,50%), e no grupo AGNSN foi 10,23% (IC 95% de 7,97% a 12,50%) esta diferença não foi estatisticamente significante (p = 0,273). Comparando-se as características sociodemográficas foram encontradas nos AGSN mais pessoas que se autodeclaram da raça cor parda, percentual maior de analfabetos e pessoas apenas com ensino fundamental, maior número de moradores por domicílio, maior permanência em transporte coletivo, compartilhamento de banheiro com outro domicílio, menos dormitórios por residência e maior frequência de abastecimento irregular de água quando comparadas aos AGNSN(P<0,05). Conclusões: As características epidemiológicas dos moradores de AGSN evidenciam as desigualdades sociais que podem dificultar as medidas de controle em uma situação de pandemia.
FORMAS DE ENSINAR A PARTIR DA ABORDAGEM SOBRE SUSTENTABILIDADE E MOBILIDADE URBANA
Authors: Stuchi Silvia , Paulino Sonia
Published: August 2021

O artigo tem como objetivo abordar  formas de ensinar por meio da abordagem sobre sustentabilidade com o foco em mobilidade urbana. O recorte do trabalho incidiu em professores e alunos do ensino fundamental II na Zona Leste da cidade de São Paulo. Na elaboração da atividade “mapa dos trajetos” foram identificados os deslocamentos mais recorrentes realizados no bairro e entorno da escola, qualificando-os e discutindo com os estudantes cada caminho e os meios de transporte utilizados. Em seguida, foram realizadas vistorias cidadãs em ruas do entorno da escola com base em metodologia desenvolvida para avaliar serviços públicos de mobilidade ativa e integração com transporte coletivo, contemplando as seguintes categorias:  calçadas e mobilidade; acesso à cidade; atratividade e segurança pública; segurança viária; e ambiente. As práticas pedagógicas adotadas para novas formas de ensinar abordando a temática da mobilidade na cidade contribuiu para ensino do conteúdo programático no ensino fundamental, na disciplina de Geografia e Ciências Naturais. Além disso, as práticas propostas estão alinhadas aos Trabalhos Colaborativos de Autoria (TCA), abordando problemas sociais ou comunitários, permitindo aos estudantes refletir sobre o entorno, reconhecer diferenças e participar efetivamente na construção de decisões e propostas visando a transformação socioambiental.
La reflexión de los profesores sobre el currículo y su propia actividad de enseñanza: algunos retos en la educación de hoy
Authors: Pérez Diego
Published: August 2021

La emergencia de nuevas necesidades en la sociedad del conocimiento ha impuesto el reto a las instituciones de educación superior y a sus profesores de (re)pensar** los procesos de formación de manera constante a nivel teórico, práctico, metodológico, gnoseológico y ontológico.De igual manera tanto las organizaciones como las universidades se han impuesto como meta que sus estudiantes, próximos profesionales, vivencien los valores propios de la sociedad y que se den las condiciones para una educación que busque el desarrollo (Davídov, 1988; Davídov y Márkova, 1987). Este desarrollo no solo corresponde al carácter ‘evolutivo’ en las formas de concebir al mundo sino a la expresión de la apropiación de los saberes construidos culturalmente a través de las actividades que realizan los estudiantes en edad escolar (en este caso, en edad de formación universitaria). Este panorama, lejos de ser desalentador, supone un trabajo arduo en torno a las preguntas por el modelo pedagógico y el currículo; considerando a este último como una construcción colectiva que atiende a los intereses sociales y culturales de los sujetos involucrados, es decir, como un organismo vivo (Silva, 2010).

Objetivo. Examinar la influencia de la comunicación integrada de marketing para la sostenibilidad en la cocreación de valor y en el valor de marca de hotel a la luz del papel mediador que esta pudiera desempeñar. Además se observó cómo el conocimiento ecológico del huésped puede actuar intensificando o no dichos efectos. Metodología. El estudio empírico se realizó entre 303 huéspedes de hoteles ubicados en Ucrania, en 2018.Resultados. Los resultados revelan que la comunicación integrada de marketing tiene una influencia significativa en la cocreación de valor y en valor de marca de hotel, afirmándose el rol mediador parcial de la cocreación en dicha relación. Conclusiones. Se evidencia que el conocimiento ecológico del huésped modera la relación entre la comunicación integrada de marketing y el valor de marca de hotel, mostrando que los huéspedes con bajo nivel de conocimiento ecológico son más sensibles al mensaje sobre la sostenibilidad; intensificándose, en este caso, el efecto de la comunicación integrada de marketing sobre el valor de marca.
Expertise and Participatory Governance: The Incorporation of Expert Knowledge in Local Participatory Processes
Authors: Rico Motos Carlos , Font Joan , Bherer Laurence , Smith Graham
Published: August 2021

The need for democratic control of the application of expert knowledge is a common refrain in debates on the democratization of policy making. However, there has been relatively little attention empirically to how expert knowledge is integrated into local participatory processes. This paper analyzes how the assessments of local officers and external consultants are incorporated in a diversity of local participatory processes in Spain between 2007 and 2011. Our interest is in whether expert assessments of the feasibility of participants’ proposals takes place; and if so, whether there is transparent oversight of the application of these judgements. The paper combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to show the importance of institutional design when dealing with the timing, style and impact of expert knowledge in participatory processes.
