O Parque Nacional de Sete Cidades - PNSC é um dos quatro PARNAs existentes no estado do Piauí e está localizado numa zona de transição entre os biomas Caatinga e Cerrado e apresenta biodiversidade típica de ambos biomas. Somado a isto, em toda área do Parque é possível observar a presença de formações rochosas únicas e inscrições rupestres que têm chamado atenção de diversos pesquisadores ao longo do tempo para as possíveis origens dessas formações. A biodiversidade do PNSC tem sido estudada desde sua criação há mais de meio século. Estes estudos incluem principalmente levantamentos de fauna e flora da região. Dentre os vertebrados tetrápodes, existe informação sobre dados de avifauna, mastofauna e herpetofauna. No entanto, apesar dos conhecimento taxonômico e científico sobre as espécies do parque, pouco se é produzido com o objetivo de aproximar a comunidade não acadêmica da biodiversidade local (PNSC). Assim, este livro tem o objetivo de aproximar os resultados obtidos pela científica ao público em geral. Apresentamos aqui um guia fotográfico das espécies de anfíbios anuros que ocorrem no PNSC, dados sobre o nome comum das espécies, dados de distribuição no Brasil e dentro do PNSC, hábitat e origem dos nomes científicos, além da descrição das características de cada espécie. Este guia fotográfico visa aumentar o conhecimento local sobre os anfíbios que ocorrem no PNSC e estimular a observação e pesquisa sobre esses animais na natureza. Esta obra é fruto de um esforço coletivo entre professores, pesquisadores e alunos de instituições públicas de ensino e pesquisa e baseada no artigo "Anurans of Sete Cidades National Park, Piauí state, northeastern Brazil" publicado no volume 20 da revista científica Biota Neotropica.
Navigating through Turbulent Times: U.S. Secondary Teachers Share Their Experiences as Online Learners and the Implications for Their Teaching Practice
Authors: Carjuzaa Jioanna , Williams Kayce Boyd
Published: June 2022

This Participatory Action Research project was a collaborative endeavor designed to identify the challenges secondary in-service teachers face as learners in a virtual context and the implications their participation in graduate synchronous remote coursework had for them as middle and secondary classroom teachers teaching online. In this article we highlight the obstacles schools have been facing amid the coronavirus pandemic, present the fears consuming teachers, parents and students, describe the frustration with remote learning, summarize the pre- and post-coronavirus teacher stress, burnout, and attrition occurrences, outline preventative measures being taken to make schools safe and secure, and discuss how supporting teacher self-care, in turn promotes student wellbeing. We share lessons learned from identifying teacher stresses in the online virtual learning context and redesigning our graduate courses for our participants by modeling best practices for coping with technostress, incorporating technology tools, modifying pedagogical procedures and integrating various resources to enhance virtual instruction. Using thematic analysis we identified the following themes which impact the e-teaching-learning experience: a) juggling multiple demands in the home environment while learning online is distracting; (b) balancing work-life responsibilities is challenging; (c) teaching and learning in a virtual context is isolating; (d) dealing with technostress is overwhelming and (e) practicing self-care allows teachers to support student wellbeing. We summarize the findings from this project where the teachers reflect on their personal experiences while enrolled in online graduate  courses and describe how the teachers’ experiences as learners, informed their teaching practice

Authors: Çelebi Celalettin , Yılmaz Fatih
Published: June 2022

It is highly important that teachers have the necessary professional knowledge, skills and attitudes for the efficiency of the teaching and learning process, which has an important role in gaining the required qualifications to individuals. One of the educational platforms that can be used for teachers to develop both their personal and professional skills is the eTwinning platform. It offers opportunities for both teachers and students. Literature review has shown that the number of researches on eTwinning, which is used by more and more teachers in Turkey, is insufficient in number. The participants of this research, which aims to compare mataphors created by teachers in Turkey and abroad, consist of 224 teachers. In the study, the content analysis method has been adopted and, the data have been collected thorugh a fixed form questionnaire. According to the results of the research, it has been found out that eTwinning projects have mostly been carried out by teachers working at primary schools. The metaphors produced by teachers for eTwinning projects have been grouped under 8 different categories. Lastly, teachers also use various tools while carrying out their projects
On the effectiveness and limitations of captioning in L2 listening
Authors: Korucu Kış Saadet
Published: June 2022

Listening is often perceived to be the most challenging skill by second/foreign language (L2) learners. Due to its real-time nature, L2 listeners experience several comprehension problems related to the processing of aural input. To scaffold L2 listening, captioning is commonly used since the dual coding of aural and written stimuli is expected to make L2 input more comprehensible leading to more in-depth processing. However, a survey of the extant literature precludes us from drawing firm conclusions about the effectiveness of captioning since in some circumstances captions were found to have no significant effect on listening comprehension. So, the question of whether captions function as a comprehension aid in L2 listening remains inconclusive. Hence, adopting a narrative literature review methodology, the present study aims to contribute to this inconsistent research area by clarifying some of these issues answering the following questions: (1) Is captioning really effective in L2 listening?, (2) Does captioning always work for L2 listening?, and (3) Why is research on captioning in L2 listening still inconclusive?  Based on the insights gained, it is concluded that the mere presence of captions does not necessarily lead to improved comprehension. Captioning effectiveness is influenced by learner, material, measurement, task, and L1/L2 characteristics. Implications arising are discussed.

This study aims to examine distance education practices of universities in Turkey during coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic according to views of undergraduate students. The method of this study is designed in the survey model. The study group consists of 1561 students studying at 44 universities. Simple random sampling method was used while selecting the study group. The data were collected by the researchers, with the ‘Scale of Distance Education Views of University Students’ which was developed within the scope of the study. Study data were analyzed with descriptive tests, t-test, and ANOVA tests. The findings of this research show that there is a significant difference in the university students' positive views about distance education in terms of their social lives, socio-economic factors, ability to learn independently, making themselves willing to learn, their willingness to go to school, adaptation to the lesson plan, school performance of the students, before and after course studies, devices they use for the education, the internet connection quality they have, their capability level to use the technology, access to course resources and the system of the university they are studying at. The findings of this study provide an important insight into the factor affecting students’ views on distance learning, which need to be considered in the future conceptualization of such provision.
Developing Students’ Positive Affective Entry Characteristics towards Mathematics: An Action Research Study
Authors: Çalışkan Muhittin , Serçe Hüseyin , Uysal Hatice , Wei Tianlan
Published: June 2022

Past research has indicated the vital role of affective factors in mathematics learning. This action research study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an action plan, which was implemented to foster students’ positive affective entry characteristics towards mathematics specifically by fixing the deficiencies in prior learning and promoting the allocation of time to study. Thirteen students attending a secondary school participated in the study over a 12-week period. We collected both quantitative and qualitative data through the Affective Entry Characteristics Scale for Mathematics, the Attitude Observation Form towards Mathematics, the research diary, and indirect observation of use traces on student assignments. First of all, the analysis of these data sources confirmed that there was substantial improvement in the students’ affective entry characteristics, indicating the effectiveness of our implementation. On the other hand, the qualitative data analysis of the diary and student assignments also revealed that this effect was not long-lasting for students who lived in a disadvantaged family/home environment. In other words, remedying the deficiencies in prior learning and promoting the allocation of time to study alone were not sufficient for these students. As a result, we came to the conclusion in the study that non-modifiable variables (such as family-home environment) is as important as or even more important than modifiable ones in the development of positive affective entry characteristics towards mathematics.

Authors: Santandreu Calonge David , Connor Melissa , Hultberg Patrik , Shah Mariam Aman , Medina Aguerrebere Pablo
Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many higher education institutions to suddenly pause in-person teaching and learning in favor of Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL). Strict social distancing measures required institutions to offer courses, programs, and services without any direct contact between students, faculty, and staff; higher education created a contactless teaching and learning environment. This exploratory study analyses various applications of ERTL through a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The results from the review of the literature are presented through a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis for students, faculty, and the institutions.
Factors that influence the Supply Chain Management practices of selected municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors:   , Duma S'Mangele Favorite
Published: June 2022

Whilst much research has been conducted on Supply Chain Management (SCM) globally, very little research has been performed on factors influencing SCM practices in the municipalities of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa. Therefore, an understanding of these factors is clearly defined and explained in order to assist the municipal administration and academia to improve SCM operations, covering aspects such as policies, procedures, programmes/models and personnel. The study sample comprised 120 respondent employed at the eThekwini and UMgungundlovu municipalities. Respondents were asked to complete a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire to collect quantitative data for statistical analysis, with the researcher assisting in questionnaire administration. Analysis of the primary data was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 24.0). The results are presented in a form of diagrams and figures produced using Microsoft Excel and gross tabulation tables. The primary aims of the study were: to investigate and describe the available understandings and knowledge of SCM in KZN municipalities; to identify and explain factors influencing their SCM; to examine to what extent the factors identified affect or influence municipal SCM in the province; and to suggest and recommend strategies which could be employed to improve the current state of SCM within these municipalities. The findings of this study revealed that factors such as poor purchasing policy, lack of proper guidelines for procurement as well as poor network infrastructure contributed negatively in the SCM in KZN municipalities. The study was limited by its exploratory nature and small sample size. Generalisation of the research findings should therefore be undertaken with care, and further research is encouraged and should include other provinces and areas in the country.

Published: June 2022

Much research has been conducted on service delivery all over the world, yet no research has been done on the impact of rural immigrants on service delivery, with the focus on the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. Therefore, these factors are clearly defined and explained in order to assist the municipal administration and academia to improve performance of service delivery; covering aspects such as urban development; service delivery; drivers of internal migration; rural to urban migration and its implications for urban service delivery. The study sample comprised 100 respondents randomly selected and required to complete a questionnaire. The researcher assisted in terms of questionnaire administration. Respondents were asked to complete a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire for the quantitative data for statistical analysis, using SPSS version 24.0 for analysis of primary data, with qualitative aspects also considered; in terms of an extensive literature review. The findings of the study indicate a positive significance to the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality regarding the accessibility of schools and good municipal services, as pull factors for migration from rural areas. Various mixed opinions were found regarding: the availability of jobs and good business opportunities as factors affecting urban development; municipal services and unemployment, political conflicts in areas of origin, and running a business in the city, as well as better opportunities of obtaining a house when living in the municipality. Much significance was revealed regarding better living conditions; long-term internal migration; and children of rural immigrants, as factors affecting service delivery. However, the results further reveal a mixed opinion regarding, while indicating significance regarding work-related migration. The results showed significance with people who move from their home to live in informal settlement, and regarding travelling cost from home to work. While indicating significance with people who came from families that were provided RDP houses previously, results showed significance to the provision of all basic services as factors affecting the drivers of internal migration.
Building capacity for reconciliation through a restorative-based intervention in Zimbabwe
Authors:   , Mhandara Lawrence
Published: June 2022

Policy makers and scholarship on peacebuilding are increasingly attracted to the notion of reconciliation. In recent years, this interest has expanded. This is especially visible in the aftermath of the South African experience following the activities of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). In fact, peacebuilding efforts after violent experiences are usually accompanied by powerful calls to go the reconciliation route. Reconciliation as a process can be seen as involving transformation in attitudes and perspectives toward others. As an outcome, it can be regarded as mutual acceptance of the other in a peaceful relationship and the sustainability of that acceptance; accompanied by a commitment to bind relationships on future interest than being stuck with the past. Yet reconciliation remains a profound challenge in societies that experience political violence. Equally, Zimbabwe is facing a similar situation despite a series of state-centred efforts at reconciliation. From the 1980 policy of national reconciliation to the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC), a constant pattern of inefficacy is observed. This study was born out of the need to find out why reconciliation in Zimbabwe has become elusive which has negatively affected people’s relationships. The aim of the study was to devise a restorative- based intervention to build capacity for reconciliation among a small sample of adults in Harare. The primary question was: How can people affected by political violence but continuing to live together participate in building their own capacity to promote reconciliation in the absence of effective state interventions? I conceptualised reconciliation based on the theory of restoration as an approach that can transform relationships toward peaceful interaction. This yielded a theoretical framework that combined elements of reconciliation, restorative justice and conflict transformation theories, which was the basis for designing and analysing findings. A qualitative methodology combining interviews and focus group discussions was utilised. Within this paradigm, action research was the main design, in which one cycle was utilized by the action group to implement an intervention. Action group participants’ responses offer evidence of how building capacity for reconciliation needs to be conceptualised through interventions that are participatory, collaborative and centred on the locals. The study further reveals that restorative-focused dialogical conversations followed by symbolic gestures of reconciliation are useful in restoring broken relationships. This was found to be a viable alternative to promoting reconciliation in the absence of effective state responses. This study is significant in that it integrates academic and practical knowledge while contributing to peacebuilding practice.

Published: June 2022

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the inhibitory effects of copper, brass (78% copper, 22% tin), and stainless steel surfaces on multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli, and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Methods: MRAB, ESBL E. coli, and CRKP were isolated at Uijeongbu St. Mary’s Hospital in 2020. A. baumannii ATCC BAA-747, E. coli ATCC 25922, and K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 were used as reference strains. The initial bacterial cell count of each inoculum was adjusted to 8 log CFU/mL using phosphate buffered saline, Copper, brass, and stainless steel plates were inoculated with 9 mL of MRAB, ESBL E. coli, and CRKP inoculum solutions. The bacterial cell count was measured from the beginning to the 20th day in an incubator maintained at 35°C. Results: MRAB, ESBL E. coli, and CRKP isolates were not detected on the copper and brass plates after 4, 5.5, and 6.5 hours, respectively. MRAB, ESBL E. coli, and CRKP isolates were not detected on the stainless steel plate after 15, 20, and 20 days, respectively. The bactericidal effects of copper and brass were much stronger than those of stainless steel. Conclusion: The use of copper and copper alloys should be considered to prevent crossinfection in hospitals.

Konfederalizm Alternatifi: Gürcü-Oset Çatışmasının Çözümü İçin Yeni Anayasal Düzen
Authors: ERCAN Osman , KOLÇAK Hakan
Published: June 2022

Bu makale, Gürcü-Oset ihtilafını güncel gelişmeleri hesaba katarak incelemekte ve ihtilafın çözümüne ilişkin bir öneri sunmaktadır. Çalışmamıza göre, Gürcistan ve Güney Osetya tarafından anayasal düzlemde ete kemiğe büründürülecek konfederal düzen, iki toplum arasındaki husumetleri ve güvensizliği bertaraf etme sürecine katkı sunabilir. Konfederalleşme, kısa vadede Güney Osetya’nın menfaatine bir durumdur; ancak konfederalleşme adımları vasıtasıyla uzun vadede tezahür edecek pek çok potansiyel gelişme, iki toplum için birlikte yaşamı devam ettirecekleri kamusal alanın inşasına yardımcı olabilir. Gürcü ve Oset otoriteleri tarafından konfederal uygulamalar aracılığıyla pratiğe dökülecek birçok iş birliği ve bütünleşmeci operasyon, kökleşen husumetler ile kurumsallaşan güvensizliği kademeli olarak ortadan kaldırabilir. Bu durum, bölgesel veyahut ulusal bağlılıkların süreç içerisinde konfederal bağlılıklara dönüşmesini beraberinde getirebilir. İki topluluk, somutlaşan konfederal bağlılıkların neticesi olarak ortaya çıkan karşılıklı güven atmosferi içerisinde siyasi devlet teşkilatlanmalarını federal ya da üniter bir yapıya evirebilir. Söz konusu evrilme, gerek tarihî konfederasyonlarca tamamlanmış gerekse güncel konfederal yapılanmalarca takip edilen bir süreçtir. Gürcü ve Oset pozisyonlarını dikkate alarak konfederalleşme önerisini geliştiren çalışmamız, bu önerinin ciddi bir alternatif çözüm yolu teşkil edebileceğini Gürcü devletinin mevcut askerî, ekonomik ve siyasi kabiliyetleri gibi çeşitli dinamikleri göz önünde bulundurarak izah etmektedir.
Alternative Ridge Parameters in Linear Model
Authors: AYİNDE Kayode , ADEWUYİ Emmanuel , FOLARANMİ Lukman Adewale
Published: June 2022

The ridge regression estimator produces efficient estimates than the Ordinary Least Square Estimator in a linear regression model that has multicollinearity problem. However, the efficiency of the ridge estimator depends on the choice of the ridge parameter, k. This parameter being the biasing parameter that shrinks the coefficient as it tends towards positive infinity needs to be chosen optimally to minimize the mean squared errors of the parameters. In this study, the ridge parameters are classified into different forms, various types and diverse kinds. These classifications resulted into proposing some other techniques of Ridge parameter estimation. Investigation of the existing and proposed ridge parameters were done by conducting Monte-Carlo experiments. Results from simulation study and reallife data application show that some newly proposed ridge parameters are among those that provide efficient estimates.

DZ de tip 1 este mediat imun în peste 90% din cazuri si poate aparea la orice grupa de vârsta, dar este cel mai frecvent la copii si adulti tineri, de asemenea are un grad ridicat de concordanta ridicata în rândul gemenilor monozigoti (33 pâna la 42%) si se manifesta puternic în familii (15% din cazurile de DZ prezinta agregare familiala) cu risc mare pentru rudele de gr I (6-7% familie vs 0,4% populatia generala) cu o amprenta parentala (7-8% tata-copil vs 2-4% mama-copil), riscul între frati fiind de aproximativ 10 ori mai mare decât riscul în populatia generala. Studiile geneticii DZ de tip 1 au dezvaluit contributia cheie a regiunii antigenului leucocitar uman (HLA) la susceptibilitatea DZ de tip 1, abordarile de familie si studiul genelor candidate au descoperit înca cinci loci asociati cu DZ de tip 1, iar studiile de asociere la nivelul genomului (GWAS) a crescut numarul de loci la peste 60. Identificarea si studiul actiunii genelor de susceptibilitate pentru DZ de tip 1 ar putea sa puna în evidenta depistarea precoce a prediabetului si formelor necomplicate dar si elaborarea unor noi tinte si strategii terapeutice si elaborarea unui plan de tratament personalizat.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic is a difficult time for many adolescents who are at a critical stage in the development of their lives. AIMS: The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the level of stress perceived by high school students in Cluj County in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and their level of well-being. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Personal Wellbeing index- School Children and Happiness with life as a whole item were used to asses well-being, and COVID-19 Student Stress Questionnaire was used to asses the level of stress of high school students generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The three working tools were applied to a number of 604 students, a representative sample at the level of Cluj County in terms of mass education units with grades IX-XII of different fields (theoretical, vocational, technological, professional education). RESULTS: The results showed that the level of well-being decreases as the level of stress generated by the covid-19 pandemic increases. Girls have a significantly lower level of well-being and happiness with life as a whole than boys and a significantly higher level of stress than them. The proportion of students who obtained high (normal) values ??of the well-being index is 87.3%. Students who have obtained lower than normal well-being values ??(12.7%) should not be neglected. In particular, more attention should be paid to those who have achieved very low well-being values ??(2.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Knowing some issues related to the relationship between the stress perceived by students in Cluj County during the COVID-19 pandemic and their well-being is important as a first step for initiating other studies with this topic, from other regions of the country, in order to identify young people at risk and providing the necessary psychological support for appropriate emotional adjustment.

Published: June 2022

The present work aimed at studying the possibility of decontaminating polluted soil by lead from traffic road, using Hordeum vulgare as a heavy metals hyper accumulative plant. High concentrations of lead stored at the horizons of soil surface (1714.39 ± 512.62 μg g-1), have revealed that the traffic and road infrastructures are important outcomes of toxic heavy metals to the environment. In addition, we noticed that Hordeum vulgare may hold a total of 36.28 ± 14.90 μg g-1, which correspond to 2% of that to of that accumulated in the soil. Importantly, highest values were observed in the roots (18.32 ± 8.38 μg g-1), which means 50,50%, whereas, the rate of heavy metals in the stems and leaves were 10.83 ± 5.86 μg g-1 (29,95%) and 7.71±3.74 μg g-1 (21,25%), respectively. Otherwise, the accumulation of lead was influenced by physical and chemical properties of the soil (pH, cation-exchange capacity CEC, percentage of clay). A high content of lead was observed in the plant at low pH; in contrast, the CEC of the soil and the percentage of clay, positively correlated with plant Pb. However, a strong correlation between soil Pb and plant Pb was noticed. Accordingly, lead uptake by Hordeum vulgare seems to be influenced by its bioavailability in soil.
