Predicting the outcome of Thoroughbred stallion matings on the basis of dismount semen sample analyses
Authors: Aitken Robert John , Lambourne Sarah R , Medica Ashlee Jade
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the analysis of dismount semen samples from Thoroughbred stallions, could be used to predict whether a given mating would result in a pregnancy. The analysis was based on 143 matings of 141 mares by a cohort of 7 Thoroughbred stallions over a 4-week period at an Australian Stud. The criteria of semen quality utilized in this analysis involved a preliminary assessment of the raw dismount sample in terms of semen volume, sperm number and sperm movement characteristics using an iSperm® Equine portable device. Following this initial assessment, a subpopulation of progressively motile spermatozoa was isolated by virtue of the cells’ ability to migrate across a 5 µm polycarbonate filter in a Samson™ isolation chamber over a 15 minute period. These isolated cells were again evaluated for their number and quality of movement using the iSperm® system and, in addition, assessed for their ability to reduce WST-1, a membrane impermeant tetrazolium salt. These data were then combined with additional information describing the ages of the animals used in this study, their historical breeding records and mating frequency during the breeding season. The total data set was then used to predict the occurrence of pregnancy, as confirmed by ultrasound at ~14 days post mating. The criteria used to predict fertility in the ensuing multivariate discriminant analysis were optimized for each individual stallion. Using this strategy, we were able to successfully predict the outcome of a cover with an overall accuracy of 94.6%.
A materialidade das ausências em Lua Cheia

Published: December 2022

Ao pensarmos no livro-objeto contemporâneo, devemos levar em consideração os diversos elementos que constituem seu projeto gráfico e a maneira que eles contribuem para a construção narrativa. Portanto, analisaremos a obra Lua Cheia (2011), do francês Antoine Guilloppé, a partir de seus aspectos materiais e da forma como eles ampliam as possibilidades de leituras poéticas. Fundamentados em questões do design gráfico, observaremos de que maneira esse livro oferece uma leitura múltipla, um jogo de percepção que se expande para além das fronteiras do objeto, por meio da técnica do papercut. Abordaremos a materialidade por meio dessa obra na qual é a ausência que opera do início ao fim: o negativo, a não-figura, as não-cores e as lacunas criadas por recortes no papel; todos esses elementos que constroem esse livro-objeto o tornam frágil na manipulação, mas robusto em suas possibilidades de leitura. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo ampliar a discussão acerca de livros-objetos e suas técnicas, que se fazem presentes não como meros ornamentos, mas como aplicações que expandem significados narrativos.
The Role of Public Interior Spaces in the Socialization of Active Elderly Individuals
Authors: Kavaz Altun İmran , Sayıl Onaran Bilge
Published: December 2022

It is an indisputable fact that interaction and socialization between individuals are important for a healthy society. For this reason, it is essential to develop spaces that provide group and community interaction between all ages and all members of the society. This study is based on the assumption that the interactions of active elderly individuals aged 65 and over with individuals in public interior spaces are important in increasing their quality of life. In order to ensure this interaction, it is thought that the supportive role of public interiors should be investigated. The aim of the study is to evaluate the contribution of shopping center spaces to interaction and socialization from the eyes of active elderly individuals aged 65 and over and to determine the social interaction levels of these individuals in the shopping center. For this purpose, the study was built on social interaction, one of the spatial quality parameters. The research method consists of 2 steps: field observation on the selected shopping center and face-to-face survey. The findings obtained from the study conducted with a group of 200 people were evaluated by making descriptive analysis in the SPSS program. According to the research data, the majority of the participants are of the opinion that the areas and activities that will support social interaction are insufficient in the shopping centers where the study is conducted. In the study, it was determined that the majority of the participants used the shopping place especially for passive socialization and enduring socialization. The use of the space for fleeting sociability, however, took place in the background. It is thought that the reason for this is that the shopping center cannot offer sufficient physical conditions and activity opportunities in terms of space design.
Qualitative/Quantitative Comparison of Changes in Alanya Rural Architecture in terms of CO2 Emissions and Energy Conservation within the Scope of Sustainability
Authors: Aksoy Ercan , Sağıroğlu Demirci Özlem
Published: December 2022

Due to the rapid growth and development caused mainly by tourism of Alanya, rural areas are affected, losing their original texture and authentic structures and being exposed to unqualified interventions. The aim of this study is to determine the original features and reveal the value of Alanya rural architecture within the framework of the sustainability principles, and to determine how these values have changed with the unqualified interventions, by detailing qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of each intervention. Within the scope of the study, the rural architectural heritage in Alanya has been documented in terms of settlement texture, space organization, architectural elements, material, construction and energy efficiency. For the analysis, a rural house that preserves its original values was used. A comparison was made between the values of this house and the values obtained as a result of the changes in the other buildings in the area. In cases where these interventions are applied in various variations, the changes in the heating and cooling load of the house are compared with the CO2 emission. It has been determined that the rural houses of Alanya provide energy conservation in a way that is perfected by tradition, both in terms of settlement features and space and materials on the basis of structure. It has been determined that the heating/cooling energy requirement can decrease but the CO2 emission increases in the individual changes made by evaluating different types of deterioration. When the most common application variations detected in the field are evaluated, it has been determined that both the heating/cooling energy requirement and the CO2 emission have increased. Rural settlements and residences define an architecture that has reached the highest level in terms of convenience, functionality and economy. Since any intervention to these structures means the loss of their energy conservation properties as well as their originality, a very careful decision should be made. The study reveals the first data in which the rural architecture of Alanya is evaluated within the scope of sustainability and energy and CO2 emissions are compared depending on deterioration/changes.
Tracking Morphological Agencies in the Alienated Fringe Belt Plots of Istanbul
Authors: Küçük Çalışkan Ezgi , Kubat Ayşe Sema
Published: December 2022

Fringe belts, founded on the peripheries of the city and thereafter being embedded in urbanized areas, can transform in time. They may either modify without losing the fringe belt character or alienate by being absorbed in residential or commercial growth. Especially in large cities with strong and rapid dynamics of change, the concept of fringe belt alienation can be a focal node for monitoring the transformations. Besides the morphological aspects, it is significant to examine the agencies that play roles behind these transformations. This paper intends to make contributions to the fringe belt literature in terms of morphological agencies by analyzing the alienated fringe belt plots in Istanbul that has the characteristics of both an ancient historical city and a megacity of today. The research deals with three major subjects: Istanbul’s fringe belt development, alienated fringe belt plots by morphology, configuration and property, and agencies involved in the alienation processes. Firstly, inner, middle, and outer fringe belts of Istanbul are identified. Their formation phases are observed to put forth a typical narrative of Istanbul’s urban development. Then, alienated fringe belt plots are analyzed with four case studies. The plot development cycles are examined to reveal the relationship between the plot and the building in each case. This examination addresses the phases of the formation and the first cycle of plot development. Second cycles are observed as the result of the transformations both in form and utilization. Finally, morphological agency networks of the cases are displayed by elaborating the active agents in transformation phases. They are categorized into five groups and analyzed by a network analysis. The motivations behind the agent behavior which reflect the periodization of urban development in Istanbul are also unveiled in this paper.

Authors: Cabezas-Cabrera Andrés , Díaz-Barrera Nicolás
Published: December 2022

Objetivo. El propósito de la investigación fue analizar la percepción estudiantil, académica y profesional acerca de la hiperespecialización de la imagenología en Chile y la posible amenaza/oportunidad de esta en la formación de pregrado. Método. Enfoque cualitativo de tipo exploratorio con elementos descriptivos, los sujetos de estudio fueron noventa y cinco personas entre profesionales y estudiantes. Se desarrolló una entrevista semi-estructurada y se establecieron macro-categorías, cuyos datos fueron registrados a través de una matriz de textualidad y frecuencias cualitativas de elaboración propia. Resultados. Se evidencia que el 64% de las personas entrevistadas desconocen el concepto de hiperespecialización, versus el 36% de quienes sí conocen el concepto. No obstante, una vez explicado el concepto de hiperespecialización en imagenología, el 56% del grupo entrevistado considera que sí ocurre en algún área de desempeño profesional, versus el 44% que no. Conclusión. Se detecta una percepción de clausura de la disciplina de la imagenología hacia otras disciplinas, debiendo vincularse laboralmente con otras áreas del conocimiento. Sin embargo, se destaca dentro de las entrevistas, el ambiente de optimismo y aceptación del fenómeno de vinculación disciplinar, donde el grupo entrevistado percibe una mejor vinculación entre el mundo educacional y laboral.
Consideraciones curriculares y prácticas sobre el desarrollo profesional docente en la formación inicial del profesorado
Authors: Camus-Camus Javiera , Vergara-Núñez Javier
Published: December 2022

Objetivo. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio, cuyo objetivo es analizar el abordaje del desarrollo profesional docente dentro de la formación inicial, en su articulación con el eje de práctica, desde la apropiación del personal docente formador de cuatro carreras, en una universidad estatal chilena, ubicada en la región de Valparaíso. Metodología. A través de una metodología de enfoque hermenéutico, basada en el paradigma interpretativo de la investigación cualitativa, se llevó a cabo un trabajo de campo que involucró el análisis de contenido de 37 documentos –ministeriales e institucionales–, y la realización de 16 entrevistas semiestructuradas a las jefaturas, docentes de formación práctica y personas egresadas de las carreras. Resultados. A partir del enfoque metodológico de la teoría fundamentada se analizó la información obtenida, dando cuenta, como resultados que el espacio de formación inicial estudiado presenta en su documentación institucional lineamientos que abordan lo establecido normativamente sobre el desarrollo profesional docente, los que no se concretizan en el espacio práctico de las carreras, ya que, desde el análisis unificado del discurso de los sujetos entrevistados, se puede sostener que existe una desarticulación curricular que replica un modelo de formación tradicional desde el cual se fragmentan los saberes a través de la instrumentalización de la formación pedagógica.

Atypical pathogens in urinary tract infections: a systematic review
Authors: Pereira de Lima Marcos Antonio , de Melo Gonçalves Ingra Bezerra , Ferreira Amorim Raimundo Diego , Cândido Pimentel João Vitor
Published: December 2022

Urinary tract infection [UTI] accounts for a significant portion of the worldwide infections, whose cause occurs predominantly through Gram-negative bacilli, followed by Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. However, a number of cases by atypical pathogens are increasing. Thus, a systematic review was carried out on UTIs caused by atypical/emerging agents, covering etiological, epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects. The search conducted via PubMed database and 59 articles composed the final sample. The laboratory approaches reported have included uroculture with special media; molecular methods such as PCR, real-time PCR, and nucleic acid sequencing; and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Pathogens found among bacteria, including Gram-negative bacilli, Gram-positive cocci, diphtheroids, Mycoplasmataceae members, actinomycetes, and Gram-variable coccobacilli; yeasts, molds and microsporidia; virus, including BK polyomavirus, HPV, CMV and HSV-2; and a protozoan, Trichomonas vaginalis. The risk factors appear to be associated with patients' intrinsic features, such as advanced age, female gender, chronic diseases, prostatic hyperplasia, immunocompromised, genitourinary tract alteration; or risky situations as long-term urinary catheter usage, urinary tract manipulation, cancer chemotherapy, alcoholism, prolonged use of antibiotics and risky sexual behavior. The difficulty in identifying these agents was also evident, due to their peculiar characteristics or the unavailability of more sophisticated methods in the laboratorial routines, which implicates in the clinical management. Therefore, it is important that the medical and the microbiology teams are aware of the possibility of these agents in order to assess the need for further testing. The importance of antimicrobial susceptibility tests is also emphasized because of these organisms’ different profiles.
In-patient mortality analysis following establishment of a separate pediatric emergency care in Eastern Nepal
Authors: S Shah Gauri
Published: December 2022

Objective: High quality hospital care for sick neonates, infants and older children are not readily available and is highly demanding in low- middle income countries. It results in high childhood mortality in resource- limited settings. We hypothesize that interventions in the form of creation of separate pediatric emergency care can prevent in-patient hospital mortality. Methods: The intervention initiatives undertaken in pediatric emergency care were: (i)- creation of new pediatric emergency care block adjacent to the general ward, (ii)-allocation of resident doctors supporting at triage and stabilization of patients before transfer to the ward and (iii)- availability of life saving medical equipment and monitoring in emergency care block. Primary outcome measure was to assess in-patient hospital mortality and mortality within 48 hours, one year before (September 2012- August 2013) and a year after the intervention (October 2013- September 2014). Results: The total deaths of patients decreased from 6.27% to 5.19% during the later period (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81-0.99, P=0.019). Deaths within 48 hours also decreased from 4.29% to 3.42% (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78- 0.99, P= 0.021). Reduction in neonatal deaths also followed the similar trend (0.88, 95% CI 0.77-0.99, P =0.032). Overall pattern of diseases, except central nervous system involvement (6.66% vs 5.44%, P 0.009), and duration of hospital stay remained same during both the study periods. Conclusions: Thus, there was a significant reduction in in-patient pediatric mortality after creation of separate pediatric emergency facility. Such measures can be undertaken to reduce childhood mortality.
Who Moved My Sanad? - Another History of Isnād in the Transmission and Conveyance of Ḥadīth and Sunnah.
Authors: Bin Jamil Khairil Husaini
Published: December 2022

This paper investigates the beginning of a phenomenon observed amongst later ḥadīth compilers that is the omission of sanads from some of their works dedicated to conveying the ḥadīths of Prophet Muḥammad. Some of them produced another specific work to present the ḥadīths with sanads and others may resort to compiling only sanads in their thabat or records of ijāzāt and samāʿāt (audition certificates). This phenomenon speaks volumes about the authority of sanad and isnād in later Muslim intellectual tradition. Since many modern studies have mostly accorded its attention to the dating and function of isnād methodology, and expectedly of the formative periods of Islam, the study of sanad omission from a ḥadīth treatise has been completely neglected although it should have been examined carefully, in particular on the reception of and responses to the phenomenon amongst the scholars of ḥadīth. This paper argues that the Egyptian judge, Muḥammad ibn Salāmah al-Quḍāʿī (454AH) shall be recognised as the first ḥadīth scholar to produce a ḥadīth treatise whose ḥadīths are not accompanied by sanad. He dedicated another work to preserve its sanads and by so doing, introduced the mujarrad-musnad method into ḥadīth literature. His mujarrad collection titled Shihāb al-Akhbār gained incredible praise and became one of the most memorised works of ḥadīth. The method of mujarrad has also been emulated by other eminent ḥadīth scholars such as al-Daylamī and al-Nawawī and contributed to the successful dissemination of ḥadīths in later Muslim communities.

Authors: Aguiar Maria Suelí de , Seara Izabel Christine , Silva Maria Cristina Figueiredo
Published: December 2022

Este é um estudo introdutório que visa observar o comportamento entoacional de sentenças interrogativas da língua Noke Koin. Um aspecto interessante dessas construções é a presença obrigatória de uma marca morfológica específica – o item afixal -ra – em todos os tipos de interrogativas da língua. O Noke Koin pertence à família linguística Páno, falada no Brasil no interior do estado do Acre. Neste trabalho, investigaremos os movimentos das curvas de F0 das sentenças interrogativas, e mais especificamente o movimento que se realiza sobre o item afixal -ra, a fim de identificar que contornos ele pode exibir. Os resultados obtidos mostram que não há contornos obrigatórios, ainda que haja contornos mais frequentes; em particular sobre o item afixal -ra, observa-se movimento perceptível preferencialmente em sentenças sem operador interrogativo.

Neste estudo analisa-se a possível autoria e o conteúdo de uma curta “narração” sobre a viagem de Fernão de Magalhães escrita por um português. Trata-se da única obra de um participante desta nacionalidade embarcado na armada de Magalhães que chegou até nós, o que aconteceu porque Giovanni Battista Ramusio a traduziu para italiano e editou em 1554. Da análise do texto verifica-se a sua importância pelo rigor das datas apresentadas e sobretudo avalia-se criticamente o significado das medidas das distâncias que são dadas entre cada uma das escalas da viagem que permitiu o conhecimento da Terra tal como ela é.
Adopting Design-Based Research to Conduct a Doctoral Study as a Micro-Cycle of Design – A Practice Illustration
Authors: Naghshbandi Serveh
Published: December 2022

In this practice illustration, I elaborate on the methodological aspect of my doctoral research, developing a multilayered participatory approach to explore learning spaces drawing on Design-Based Research (DBR). Reflecting on my work, I explain “why” and “how” I adopted DBR in my doctoral research in Education. I argue that DBR is feasible to conduct doctoral research as a micro-cycle of design to develop design methodology and/or domain theory. I provide a rationale for choosing DBR as an underpinning methodology through which I designed the study and selected the data collection and analysis methods. I also describe how DBR was interrelated with the tenets of my study and the research questions. Providing an explanation of the relationship between DBR and participatory design, I explain how design methodology was developed in the context of my study. At the end, I briefly outline the findings and the contextual design principles that emerged from the findings.
Ein Modell zum Gestaltungshandeln in DBR zur Entwicklung von Methoden und zur Analyse von Rahmenwerken
Authors: Herzberg Dominikus
Published: December 2022

Design-Based Research (DBR) ist ein gestaltungsbasierter Forschungsansatz der Bildungswissenschaften. Eine Vielfalt von Umsetzungen prägt diesen Forschungsansatz. Unter der Maßgabe, dass Gestaltung ein Handeln ist, stellt dieser Beitrag ein handlungstheoretisches Modell zum Gestaltungshandeln vor und zeigt auf, wie sich Forschungsmethoden und methodologische Rahmenwerke nicht nur einordnen und analysieren lassen: Zum einen können DBR-spezifische wie auch fachdisziplinäre Methoden durch Varianten- und Analogiebildung entwickelt werden, was nicht nur Impulse für DBR, sondern auch Möglichkeiten des interdisziplinären Austauschs bietet. Zum anderen können methodologische Rahmenwerke in ihren Spezifika zugänglich gemacht und verglichen werden. All das kann dazu dienen, die Zusammenarbeit von Bildungswissenschaftler*innen mit Fachwissenschaftler*innen und Praktiker*innen in der Verständigung über DBR-Forschungsansätze und die anzuwendenden Methoden fruchtbarer zu gestalten, die damit beginnt, eine gemeinsame handlungswissenschaftliche Terminologie zu haben.
Arctic Single-Industry City: The Population’s Perception of Their Future in the Prospects for its Development
Authors: Volkov Alexander D. , Simakova Anna V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the strategic necessity of consolidating human capital in the Arctic territories, which determines the importance of a deeper study of the connection between the life strategies of the population and the local problems of monotowns, as hard points for the formation of the economic space of the Arctic. The purpose of the article is to identify the reasons for the formation of migration attitudes of the population of the monotown.

Materials and Methods. The information basis of the study was the data of official statistics and the results of a questionnaire based survey of the population of Kostomuksha district, conducted in the fall of 2021. The participants of the survey were representatives of the population permanently residing in the district, aged 15‒74. The average age of the respondents was 44.9. The sample size was 697 people. The analysis was conducted using the SPSS software. The final conclusions were based on a combination of methods of spatial economics, the theory of sustainable development and the dialectical approach.

Results. Environmental features were identified by way of comparing the data of sociological survey of the population (town’s problems, satisfaction with different aspects of life), the results of previous studies and expeditions of the authors and the data of official statistics. The severity and features of the migration attitudes of the population were established, the social portrait of the migration-prone part of the population was examined.

Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the correlation between the environmental features of the territory and the results of the migration attitudes analysis, conclusions were made concerning the competitiveness of Kostomuksha district in terms of reproduction of its human capital and social sustainability, sustainable and favorable ecological conditions, supported in part by the stable operation of the city-forming enterprise, as well as general protection of the population from crime. Measures were proposed for the transition to an expanded quality of human capital reproduction. The results of the study and the identified threats to local social stability make it possible to form an analytical basis for their timely elimination, and, in a broader context, are of practical importance for managing the development of the Russian Arctic economic space at all levels of administrative regulation. The findings will form the basis of analytical materials addressed to the subjects of state and municipal government.
Efficiency of Low-Pressure Tires in the Cultivation of Winter Barley
Authors: Truflyak Evgeny V. , Bukhartsev Mikhail S. , Sotnikov Denis A.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Today, a pressing problem is the lack of a comprehensive analysis of the impact of low-pressure tires on the growth and development of crops (dimension and mass characteristics of different plant parts, diseases, etc.), yield within the track and off the track using ground-based measurements, images from drones and from space. The aim of the work is to determine, using digital technology, remote and ground-based measurements, which element of yield structure and at which stage is most affected by tire pressure during the cultivation of winter barley.
Materials and Methods. Above-ground monitoring of sprouts was carried out using standard methods of field testing. Remote monitoring of sprouts was carried out during the vegetation of winter barley by an unmanned aerial vehicle (Phantom 4 Pro, Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual) and by satellite images (OneSoil, SkyScout systems).
Results. As a result of one year research the efficiency of low-pressure tires application in the cultivation of winter barley was proved. The results of comparing the efficiency of low-pressure tires with standard pressure tires show that when using low-pressure tires the biological yield increases by 4.4% and combine yield increases by 9.5%.
Discussion and Conclusion. It was determined that tire pressure affects the growth and development of winter barley, the development of diseases, and crop yields. At the same time, the difference in indicators when the tire moves within the track and off the track is noticeable. Thus, the use of low pressure tires is an important issue of agricultural production intensification just like the use of modern technologies and technical means, highly productive varieties and hybrids, and plant protection means.
Seismic performance of a ductile rod exterior connection system for precast concrete industrial buildings
Authors: Jung Donghyuk , Kang Thomas H.-K. , Lee Dong Joo , Kim Sanghee , LaFave James M.
Published: December 2022

The seismic performance of a ductile rod system for exterior precast concrete beam-to-column connections was experimentally evaluated. Five full-scale precast concrete beam-to-column subassemblies connected with ductile rods were fabricated, considering various aspects (ductile rod size, prestressing, and flexural/shear capacities). Lateral cyclic loading tests were conducted for the precast concrete connections along with two monolithic reinforced concrete connections. Despite their relatively lower lateral stiffness, most precast concrete connections showed sufficient moment capacities with peak moments at approximately 3% to 4% interstory drifts. The prestressing tendons were effective at enhancing moment and shear strengths of the precast concrete connections, as well as in reducing slip of the ductile rods. The precast concrete specimens generally showed satisfactory seismic performance, fulfilling acceptance criteria specified by the American Concrete Institute. The test results demonstrated that careful considerations are required in the design of ductile rods and high-strength threaded bars to induce stable flexural responses of the precast concrete connections.
Tertiary language didactics 2.0
Authors: Dietrich-Grappin Sarah , Hufeisen Britta
Published: December 2022

The article proposes a remodeling of Tertiary Language Didactics (TLD) against the backdrop of empirical findings from German-speaking areas and the notions of translanguaging and compétence plurilingue.

TLD as a multilingual didactics approach for the initial stages of L3 learning developed in the 1990s in the field of “German as a foreign language after English” (DaFnE) as a response to the specificity of L3 learning conditions (age, intellectual development, different domains of prior knowledge in other languages). Later, the approach, with its overarching principle of cognitive learning and teaching, was generalized to other language constellations (Hufeisen & Neuner, 2003; Neuner et al., 2009).

By reviewing selected studies from the 1980s up to 2021, our remodeling highlights the importance of transfer not only in L3 reception, but also in L3 production and practice. In order to economize L3 learning, TLD 2.0 proposes to focus on cognates in reception and production (perceived and assumed cross-linguistic similarities) and streamlined grammar teaching (deduction-practice combinations, parallel exercises). Informed by the discourses of translanguaging and compétence plurilingue, we also discuss the role of less “visible” knowledge stores that bi- or plurilingual L3 learners may have and the possibility of activating skills in previously learned or acquired languages (two-language tasks) in pursuit of education goals beyond L3 learning.

Problem i matematiken – Diskursiva sanningar om matematikundervisningens varför och hur?
Authors: de Ron Anette
Published: December 2022

I detta kapitel undersöker jag spänningsfält mellan matematikundervisningens och problemlösningens varför och hur. Mer specifikt undersöks diskurser om problems användning i matematikundervisningen i sammanvävningen mellan matematik och problemlösning. Det övergripande syftet med studien är att synliggöra hur denna sammanvävning iscensätts och legitimeras i vår tid genom att se tillbaka i historien och studera texter från 1840-talet och framåt. Genom diskursanalys ses texterna som uttryck för vad som ger mening i ett specifikt sammanhang och en specifik tid gällande problemlösning och matematikundervisning. I resultatet framträder diskursiva sanningar om matematikundervisningens varför och hur, där matematikundervisningens syfte och utformning av undervisningen diskuteras. Vidare diskuteras att spänningsfältet mellan de diskursiva sanningarna om matematikundervisning och problemlösning hela tiden gör sig gällande, samt hur resultatet relateras till olika positioneringar av elever.
Matematik på Solens fritidshem – Om att ’göra verkstad’ av policy-dokument
Authors: Wallin Anna , Norén Eva , Valero Paola
Published: December 2022

Elever möter matematik i många sammanhang, såsom i vardagen, i fritidshemmet och i skolan. Ett viktigt sammanhang för matematiska möten är fritidshemmets undervisning. Fritidshemmet är en frivillig del av utbildningssystemet och styrs av policy-dokument, där läroplanen ingår. 2016 reviderades den nationella läroplanen i Sverige, Lgr11, och matematik lyftes explicit som ett innehåll att behandla i fritidshemmet. En utgångspunkt för detta kapitel är att undersöka vad som karaktäriserar fritidshemmets matematiska aktiviteter och kontexter. Det finns en risk att fritidshemmets matematik omintetgörs om den inte problematiseras och en farhåga är att den matematik eleven traditionellt möter i skolan ges utrymme och breder ut sig i fritidshemmet. I kapitlet lyfts fritidshemmets specifika matematiska arena fram. Med hjälp av teoretiska verktyg hämtade från policystudier samt två matematikdidaktiska perspektiv studeras fritidshemmets matematik genom en flerfallstudie. Resultatet synliggör fyra inriktningar av fritidshemmets matematik; helinformell, halvinformell, halvformell och helformell.
De|matematisering i kapitalismens tidsålder – Att återerövra den kritiska distansen
Authors: Straehler-Pohl Hauke
Published: December 2022

Detta kapitel utgår från ett etiskt dilemma som skapats av vår tids tekniska utveckling. Dilemmat handlar om den dialektiska rörelsen mellan att å ena sidan se och förstå omvärldsproblem i matematiska termer, så kallad matematisering, och å andra sidan att matematiska processer blir osynliga, t.ex. i algoritmer som styr olika datorbaserade tjänster som bokningssystem eller datingsidor —så kallad dematematisering. Jag förstår denna rörelse som ett socialt fenomen och en utmaning för samhället. I kapitlet diskuteras denna dialektiska rörelse, de|matematisering, i relation till begrepp baserade på kritisk teori och som utvecklats inom matematikdidaktiken. En analys av media och reklamkampanjer, samt en sociologisk analys av dating-webbsidor, tyder på att en förskjutning ägt rum i fråga om de|matematisering och dess ideologiska inramning. Avsikten är att möjliggöra en ökad förståelse för samspelet mellan de|matematisering och senkapitalismens politiska ekonomi. Artikeln avslutas med att författaren ger ett förslag till hur artikelns slutsatser kan bidra till en vidareutveckling av matematikundervisningen som på ett kritiskt sätt speglar dess roll i samhället.
Planera för inkluderande matematikundervisning i ett stormigt landskap
Authors: Grundén Helena , Roos Helena
Published: December 2022

I detta kapitel diskuteras hur olika sociopolitiska vindar som blåser runt matematikundervisning påverkar förutsättningarna för både lärare och elever på olika nivåer. Fokus ligger på planering för en inkluderande matematikundervisning under dessa förutsättningar. Detta belyses utifrån de tidigare kapitlens ’vindriktningar’ samt vår egen forskning som fokuserar på planering och inkludering i matematikundervisning. Utifrån de sociopolitiska beskrivningar som finns av mötet mellan elever, lärare och matematik kan vi se att det dels finns skillnader som uppträder över tid —förändringar som går från något mot något annat, men också förändringar som visar återkommande företeelser. För att synliggöra frågor om inkludering och planering inom ramen för dessa förändringar behövs en ständigt pågående debatt men det behövs också samverkan mellan forskare och lärare för att tillsammans kunna möta sociopolitiska utmaningar som uppstår när vi arbetar för en mer likvärdig och rättvis matematikundervisning. Det behövs även stöd och utrymme för lärare så att de kan tolka och navigera och genom ett informerat handlande planera för en inkluderande matematikundervisning.
Experiences of Teachers in Implementing the “Education in Emergency” During COVID-19 pandemic, 2020: A Case Study in Lower Secondary School in Eastern Bhutan.
Authors: Phuntsho Tashi
Published: December 2022

This paper reports a case study carried out in a lower secondary school in the eastern district of Bhutan on implementing the “Education in Emergency” program during the closure of schools in 2020 due to the novel COVID-19 pandemic. It investigated teachers’ experiences of how effectively they implemented the “Education in Emergency” (EiE) Programme initiated by the Ministry of Education, Bhutan through various online tools. This study employed a sequential multi-method paradigm starting with the survey of all teachers (n=35), preceded by in-depth semi-structured interviews, observations, and detailed field notes of teachers (n=6) who were purposefully selected based on the survey findings. The study focused on understanding the teachers’ awareness of the change of curriculum, students’ level of preparedness for online learning, support from various stakeholders; school, parents, and Dzongkhag Education Sector, and perceptions of teachers on the special program “Reaching the Unreached” initiated by the school solely aimed at benefiting the students who were unable to access from the e-learning platforms. The study revealed some of the barriers to effective teaching and learning such as teachers’ inadequate skills in using technological devices, lack of smart phoness or laptops, data packages, and weak internet connectivity. The study also reveals numerous positive findings, such as proactive support from schools in implementing EiE, parents' support for students’ learning and pioneering ”reaching the unreached” initiatives to support students who were not favoured by e-learning platforms. Although the school has showcased exemplary professionalism, additional improvements and modifications are required to successfully navigate the EiE.
Agro-virtual water trade in relation to water availability and attributes of crop import of Lungnyi Gewog, Bhutan
Authors: Tashi Sonam , Dorji Ugyen
Published: December 2022

Virtual Water Trade is the product of Specific Water Demand and quantity of a commodity traded in tons. The water availability, water utility patterns, attributes of agricultural products imports, and quantity of 4 selected crops traded were collected through a questionnaire survey with a systematic circular design. The Specific Water Demand of crops was collected from published FAO guidelines and data was analyzed using MS-Excel and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The Net Virtual Water Trade was calculated using MS Excel. The study showed positive NVWT with higher virtual water export than an import for the study area. The independent sample t-test showed a significant difference between NVWT of farmers that has and that do not have enough water for agriculture t¬ (88) =3.129, p=0.002. The Pearson Chi-Square test showed no significance in the relationship between attributes of import of agri-products and availability of water resources in the Gewog; X2 (4, N=90) = 63.68, p=0.000. The study revealed a strong correlation between household size and VWI of apple and rice and VWE of apple, potato, chilli, and rice at p

Design thinking is a human-centric, iterative, and collaborative approach to solve complex problems. Current study has made an attempt to implement design thinking (DT) as one of the pedagogical means to respond to the need for teaching, learning, and assessment and specifically, the study was intended to explore strategies to implement DT in designing and delivering lessons in the classrooms of a higher secondary school at Samtse. The study was conducted through a participatory design approach which involved co-designing lessons using DT between the researchers and teacher participants. The data for this study was obtained from observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and reflections. Eventually, for data analysis thematic analysis and narrative descriptions were used. As such, this study provides information that broadens the understanding of the integration of the DT approach in the classroom in the Bhutanese context, and its impact on the development of skills in students. The findings of the study unveiled that using DT empowers teachers to be innovative in planning learning activities that enable lessons to become more engaging and exciting. Further, the finding also revealed that DT assists students to develop problem-solving skills and creativity.
Dentinogenic Ghost Cell Tumour, a rare case of an African young female patient: Review of literature and report of a case
Authors: Lamola M , Masilela MMJ , Adedoja TO
Published: December 2022

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumour (DGCT) is a very rare aggressive benign odontogenic tumour with high recurrence rate and a potential to transform into malignancy. It can render facial disfigurement. The tumour is most frequently encountered in males than females with a ratio of 2:1. The peak incidence is in patients aged 40 - 60 years and the posterior mandible is slightly more affected than the maxilla. Segmental resection is a recommended surgical treatment and long-term postsurgical follow up is essential. This paper discusses a case of a 20-year-old African female patient who was diagnosed with a DGCT.
Former les futurs enseignants de langue au numérique par l’approche réflexive (collaborative)
Authors: BOURNEL-BOSSON Chae-Yeon , CROS Isabelle
Published: December 2022

Que ce soit pour répondre à des injonctions institutionnelles ou pour s’adapter aux nouveaux modes d’enseignement/apprentissage, la formation au numérique devient un incontournable de la formation initiale des enseignants, notamment dans les filières de didactique de langue et du FLE. La crise sanitaire est venue confirmer cette place croissante du numérique dans l’enseignement. Dans une dynamique de recherche-formation, nous avons cherché à mesurer le bénéfice de cette approche fondée sur l’écriture réflexive, dans la définition de la posture enseignante et de l’identité professionnelle. Souvent orienté sur l’aspect technique du « comment », la question du « au nom de quoi et pourquoi » enseigner avec le numérique paraît trop souvent négligée en formation. Or, ce sont aussi à ces questions d’ordre épistémologique portant sur la valeur singulière attribuée au numérique par chaque enseignant qu’une formation en didactique des langues doit, selon nous, participer à répondre dans l’optique d’une articulation entre ingénierie de formation et approche phénoménologique. Menée durant deux années en Master de Linguistique Appliquée à la Didactique du FLE, notre recherche s’est faite avec la collaboration de futurs enseignants, digital naïves en matière d’intégration pédagogique du numérique. L’analyse qualitative des données collectées via le journal de formation, par analyse discursive sur les représentations et les pratiques prospectives met en évidence les bénéfices comme les limites d’une formation réflexive et épistémologique mais donne aussi à voir à travers ses effets transformateurs la manière dont on peut accompagner la construction de l’identité professionnelle pour un usage critique du numérique en éducation.
