Published: June 2024

Discovery learning is a learning model that has a lot of influence on students' learning abilities. Therefore, this research aims to improve the activities and learning outcomes of Kedungrejo Bojonegoro Kindergarten students in basic introduction to arithmetic material through the Discovery Learning learning model. This research was conducted at the Dharma Wanita Kindergarten in Kedungrejo village, Bojonegoro, East Java in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year with 10 students as the subject. This type of research is classroom action research which consists of planning, implementing actions, observing and reflecting using the Discovery Learning learning model. Student learning activity data was collected using the observation method. Student learning activity data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Individual student activity data is analyzed based on the percentage of occurrence of each learning activity item carried out by students during the learning process. Meanwhile, to measure student learning outcome data, the scoring method is used by giving tests in the form of questions according to the subject matter that has been given. Tests are given at the end of each lesson. From the test results given, the use of the discovery learning model can increase the learning activities of Dharma Wanita Kindergarten students in Kedungrejo. In this study, researchers divided learning into 2 periods. Period 1 learning was carried out without using the discovery learning learning model. The results showed that only 30% of students were declared complete, then 70% of students were declared incomplete. Meanwhile, in period 2, 60% of students were declared to have completed their studies and 40% were declared incomplete. From these results, it can be seen that the use of the discovery learning model is able to improve student learning outcomes.

Urgent need to improve the control of pathogens responsible for hospital-acquired infections. In addition to the limitation of the new article sources on the issue, sharing best practices between hospitals. More infection transmission methods studies to avoid hospital-acquired infection spread, and innovative new devices that reduce infection.
Fake Facts: An Incredulous Look At Piracy Statistics In India
Authors: Iyengar Prashant
Published: June 2024

"The author of the paper looks at how the expression ‘piracy’ has acquired traits due to the manner in which news has been reported, and also the manner in which ‘piracy statistics’ have defined the boundaries of their context by perpetuating an image of value-neutrality while revealing little other than the quantity of ‘pirates’. By examining newspaper reports, he notes the manner in which the losses in the music and video industries are portrayed, and the estimations of the same which are sometimes downright fictitious, but nonetheless accepted by the press. Accounts of piracy in the press have changed though, with stories of linear losses that focussed on illegality giving way to accounts addressing the issue in terms of affordability and access. However, the truth is still nebulous as most cases are heard with the defendant ex parte, spawning an assumptive methodology of arriving at figures. This situation has the effect of a simple distrust amongst laypeople of the logic of spectacular losses claimed, but also a heightened sense of emergency among official circles."

Published: June 2024

Objetivo. Evaluar la efectividad de la formación anual en desescalada verbal (DV) en la reducción de las contenciones mecánicas (CM) durante los traslados no voluntarios en ambulancia a urgencias de pacientes con enfermedad mental. Método. Estudio cuasiexperimental antes-después. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con enfermedad mental trasladados de manera no voluntaria en Barcelona por un equipo de atención psiquiátrica en domicilio, desde enero de 2008 hasta diciembre de 2020. En el año 2013 el equipo al completo inició una formación anual en DV en base a las recomendaciones del proyecto BETA (Best Practices in the Evaluation and Treatment of Agitation). Se ha comparado la prevalencia de CM durante dichos traslados, antes y después de iniciar la formación en DV. Asimismo se han analizado los factores asociados a la necesidad de CM. Resultados. Se incluyeron 633 traslados no voluntarios. Antes de la formación en DV hubo un 42,0% de CM y después fue del 20,6%, lo que supone una reducción del 50,1%. La regresión logística mostró que los factores asociados a la necesidad de CM son una menor edad y la existencia de síntomas psicóticos como factores de riesgo y uso de la DV como factor protector (p < 0,005). Conclusiones. La formación anual en DV siguiendo las recomendaciones del proyecto BETA ha permitido una reducción del 50% de la necesidad de CM durante el traslado no voluntario en ambulancia de pacientes con enfermedad mental.
La extensión de la psicología en la cultura: desocialización y terapeutización de los problemas sociales
Authors: Rodríguez López Roberto
Published: June 2024

Las sociedades modernas contemporáneas están inmersas en un largo proceso de pérdida de las categorías comunitarias de comprensión de los vínculos de sus miembros. En este contexto, se ha producido un despliegue cultural del recurso a categorías de la psicología individual para comprender numerosas problemáticas de la realidad social (psicologización). Aquí estudiaremos esta extensión cultural en una de sus expresiones más representativas, la literatura de autoayuda. Por medio de un análisis de discurso mixto (cuantitativo-cualitativo), comprobaremos cuáles son los elementos básicos de esta cultura psicoterapéutica. Veremos asimismo qué concepción de lo sanitario-terapéutico se trasluce de dicha literatura, así como las implicaciones de esta concepción. Destacamos la amplia extensión (microespacios de la vida cotidiana) y moldeabilidad de las categorías psicoterapéuticas en su uso cultural, así como los riesgos de la retraducción emocional o psicológica de problemáticas con claras raíces sociales o incluso políticas, como las relaciones familiares, educativas o laborales.

Authors: Bellido-Pérez Elena , Pineda Antonio , Barragán-Romero Ana I. , Liberia Vayá Irene
Published: June 2024

This paper focuses on the Autonomous Region of Andalusia (Spain), and analyses messages posted in 2020 on the Instagram profiles of the by-then five main political parties of the region: Partido Popular, Partido Socialista Obrero Español, Ciudadanos, Vox, and Adelante Andalucía. Through a content analysis of the 1,805 posts published during the pandemic year of 2020, we study the degree of interactive communication of these parties (by using indicators that are both primary and secondary) as well as the main topics and purposes of the political posts in each profile. The results point to a lack of genuine interaction, a primary focus on the economy and health as main topics, and the positioning of individual politicians or parties as predominant purposes of the posts. These results are discussed on the grounds of the literature on Instagram political communication, and the theory of social media interactivity.
Culturas legales e instituciones de control social en América Latina
Authors: Moroni Marisa
Published: June 2024

Este libro reúne el trabajo colectivo de un grupo de investigadores que, desde diferentes dimensiones analíticas, reflexionan sobre las transformaciones judiciales y jurídicas que operaron en América Latina entre mediados del siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del XX. Se trata de una propuesta coral que dialoga con la historiografía latinoamericana sobre las capacidades estatales o el denominado “poder infraestructural” del Estado para explicar los grandes cambios organizacionales, burocráticos y del ordenamiento jurídico.

Los diferentes capítulos recuperan la circulación de saberes y de prácticas en las agencias estatales de control social en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, México y Uruguay, y dan cuenta de la existencia de debates comunes sobre los procesos de institucionalización y de reconceptualización normativa resultado de las nuevas corrientes de pensamiento jurídico. La transversalidad de los problemas desarrollados enfatiza la pertinencia de promover estudios comparativos para reconocer y explicar los desafíos que afrontaron los Estados latinoamericanos a fines del siglo XIX y a principios del XX. La selección de estudios refleja las potentes transformaciones jurídicas y judiciales del siglo XIX a través de detallados abordajes sobre los procesos multinivel que accionan la ley y la justicia. De esta forma, reconocemos la conjunción de saberes, prácticas y capacidades estatales para controlar, vigilar, espacializar, delimitar, normativizar, disciplinar, judicializar y castigar.
Análisis experimental de cicloconvertidor monofásico para cargas resistivas con submúltiplos de frecuencias
Authors: Calsina Helarf , Ñaca Juan
Published: June 2024

Este artículo se desarrolló por la necesidad de disponer de potencia eléctrica con frecuencias ajustables, diferente a la suministrada por la red eléctrica convencional, para aplicaciones industriales y de control de motores. El cicloconvertidor implementado consta de etapa de potencia con dispositivos SCRs y optoacopladores, etapa de control con microcontrolador para la gestión de las señales de disparo de los semiconductores de potencia. Se realizaron simulaciones y pruebas experimentales para validar el funcionamiento del sistema bajo diversas condiciones. El cicloconvertidor puede modificar eficazmente la frecuencia de entrada de 60 Hz, proporcionando frecuencias de salida ajustables y estables para cargas resistivas. Los resultados muestran frecuencias experimentales muy cercanas a las calculadas: para un submúltiplo de 2, 29.976 Hz; submúltiplo de 3, 20 Hz; submúltiplo de 4, 15Hz, submúltiplo de 5, 11.99 Hz; y para un submúltiplo de 6,10 Hz. Las variaciones mínimas entre las frecuencias simuladas y experimental se deben a factores de tolerancia de los componentes electrónicos. Este método propuesto es de importancia práctica para mejorar el nivel de aplicación del cicloconvertidor en el control de velocidad de variadores de AC.

Published: June 2024

Background. Climbing, due to the creation of many new sports facilities, is becoming an increasingly popular sport in Poland and around the world. This sport can be practiced by people of all ages both on artificial walls and in natural rocks. Due to the increase in popularity, more and more cases of injuries related to this sport are being reported. The purpose of this paper is to present the latest scientific reports on the most common injuries and musculoskeletal diseases in climbers and methods of prevention.Description of the state of knowledge. There are many types of climbing. These include bouldering, lead climbing, speed climbing. The most common injuries and their mechanisms can vary depending on the type and also where the sport is practiced. Climbing on artificial walls can be safer than climbing in natural conditions. The most common injuries involve the upper limb, lower limb, less often the head and are more common in the male gender. A specific type of injury in climbers is injuries to the hands, especially the finger flexor trocars. Characteristic injuries to the feet and knees can occur during advanced climbing techniques. Head injuries are more often characterized by a high mortality rate. Among the methods of injury prevention in climbers, the use of safety equipment, proper training and correct technique, and physiotherapy stand out.Conclusions. Due to the increased popularity of climbing, attention should be paid to the problem of the increasing number of injuries sustained during the sport. More research is needed on larger study groups to analyze the mechanisms of injury and confirm or rule out the effectiveness of prevention methods.

Authors: Preinl Maciej , Stolarz Kacper
Published: June 2024

Background. Powerlifting is a non-Olympic sport consisting of three main lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. Powerlifting involves repetitive heavy loading and extreme exertion, which can cause injuries to the spine, especially to the lower back. Such injuries can be anything from minor sprains and strains to more significant problems like fractures or herniated discs. This article reviews the scientific research on back injuries and how powerlifting is related to them. The aim was to report on the incidence of lower back injuries and their proportion in powerlifting-related injuries among powerlifters.Materials and methods. A thorough search of major electronic databases, such as Embase and MEDLINE/Pubmed, was conducted. The data concerning powerlifting-related injuries, especially those involving lower back, was extracted. Statistical analysis was performed with MetaXL (version 5.3) software.Results. This meta-analysis included 9 studies, comprising a total of 799 patients. 565 injuries were reported, 200 of them involved pain of the lower back. Statistical analysis revealed that lower back pain occurred approximately in every fourth powerlifter (Pooled prevalence estimate (PPE) = 25.6% (95% CI: 15.8%-38.7%)) and over one third of all powerlifting-related injuries entailed pain of the lower back (PPE = 35.4% (95%CI: 26.2% - 45.8%)).Conclusions. Lower back injuries are a prevalent and significant issue in powerlifting, affecting a substantial proportion of athletes. For the purpose of creating efficient preventative and management plans, it is imperative to comprehend the biomechanical, training-related, and individual aspects that contribute to these injuries.

Authors: Marcuk Vladislav , Greeney Harold F. , Eckhoff Pascal
Published: June 2024

Egg collections represent a critical, though underutilized, source of sensitive biological data about a substantial proportion of avian taxa, and can help expand our knowledge of avian natural history and general biology. The breeding biology of the genus Chaetocercus remains considerably poorly studied, in particular of the Red-shafted Woodstar (Chaetocercus jourdanii). In this short note, we provide descriptions of the egg and nest of the Red-shafted Woodstar, based on the examination of eggs and nests preserved in the Western Foundation of Zoology (WFVZ) and Natural History Museum of Berlin (ZMB), respectively. The nest is typical for the genus Chaetocercus, a tiny cup composed predominantly of fine plant fibres and evenly covered externally with lichens. Eggs were collected in February and April, and clutches consisted of two uniform white eggs measuring, on average, 12.58 ± 0.18 mm × 7.74 ± 0.29 mm (n = 7). In addition, we provide a brief literature review about the basic breeding habits for the congeneric species, where we expand the information available for the closely related Gorgeted Woodstar (C. heliodor) by using additional nests from the ZMB collection.
