Línguas de herança, obsolescência linguística e motivações para aprendizagem no contexto da educação escolar indígena
Authors: Ana Vilacy  
Published: October 2020

O estado de Rondônia abriga uma rica diversidade linguístico-cultural. Vinte e duas línguas originárias são faladas na região. Porém a situação de vitalidade dessas línguas reflete a situação mais geral das línguas originárias no país, as quais, devido a um longo processo de silenciamento, estão em avançado grau de obsolescência. Por outro lado, processos espontâneos de revitalização têm surgido, fomentando a busca pela retomada da aprendizagem da língua no contexto escolar. Neste artigo, a partir das experiencias de revitalização das línguas tradicionais dos povos Purubora e Sakurabiat, no estado de Rondônia, apresentamos algumas reflexões sobre o impacto de experiências de revitalização dessa natureza e os desafios encontrados nesse processo de retomada linguística, no contexto em que as línguas originárias funcionam ao mesmo tempo como segunda língua e língua de herança.

Published: October 2020

Objectives:
Medial knee pain is a common occurrence in people of various age groups with different conditions involving underlying structures. Ultrasound is used in assessing various complex knee pathologies as relying solely on clinical evaluation can be difficult. There are hardly any studies showing the compartmental analysis of knee pain using ultrasound. This study analyses the demographic profile and associated various ultrasonographic findings in patients with medial knee pain.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was done with participants of age 18 and above with medial knee pain. Screening was done by a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist in outpatient department and the ultrasonographic evaluation by a radiologist. Demographic profile and ultrasonographic findings of 46 participants were documented and studied.

Results:
Out of 46 participants studied, 95.65% were females. The mean age of distribution was 50.61 years and 52% of participants were overweight and 33% with obesity Class-I. Ultrasonography revealed abnormality of medial collateral ligament (45.65%), pes anserine tendon (41.30%) and bursa (4.55%), medial meniscus (36.96%), joint effusion (54.35%), and synovial hypertrophy, Baker’s cyst, and osteophytes.

Conclusion:
Older age, female gender, and increased body mass index are likely associated with medial knee pain with variable underlying conditions. These conditions can be differentiated with use of ultrasound by visualizing the abnormalities in underlying anatomical structures. Ultrasonography can be used with adequate knowledge and experience as a guide and tool in optimal management of wide spectrum of knee problems.

The kalimalang highway is a connecting road between the city of Jakarta and Bekasi, the high mobility of passenger vehicles and goods is a problem of congestion that must be minimized. The volume of vehicles on the Kalimalang highway has increased quite high each year, but this has not been matched by growth in capacity. Therefore the government plants to build the Becakayu toll road to reduce congestion. This study aims to determine bottlenecks that occur due to the construction of an off-ramp on the Becakayu toll road, especially in section 2A, which is located on Jl. Veteran, while the location under review is the intersections affected by the construction of the off-ramp including the intersection of four signaling BCP, intersection of four signaling Veteran and Sarbini unsigned intersection, Data analysis in this study uses the MKJI 1997 method. From this method displays the behavior of traffic, for signal intersections will display signal time, capacity, vehicle stopped ratio, queue length, and average delay and for unsignalized intersections will display capacity, average delay and queue opportunity. From the results of this study it was found that the signaled intersection had an average value of DS > 1, so for the service level at the intersection is the current forced / jammed with low speed. Where the largest queue length occurred 1876.7 m, an average delay of 210.30 SMP/ sec, and vehicles stopped at an average of 7378 SMP/hour. And for unsignalized intersections having an average DS <0.45, the service level at the intersection is a stable flow with operating speed starting to be limited by traffic conditions, this intersection has the greatest queue probability (QP%) 8.48-20.35 in the Saturday time period - afternoon and intersection delay 9.5 SMP / sec.

The goal of this research is to analize the role of inquiry approach (IA) and cognitive stage (CS) on students’mathematical critical thinking ability (MCTA) and self regulated learning in mathematics (MSRL). The research adopted a pretest and postest design and involved 60 eleventh grade students of 16 – 18 years old, a MCTA test, the TOLT, and Longeot test, and a MSRL scale, and student’s opinion on IA lessons. The study revealed that percentage of student’ CS, were as follow 11.7% at concrete stage, 65.0% at transition stage, and 23.3% at formal stage. In further analysis the study found that IA and CS took a good role on obtaining student’s MCTA, but not for MSRL. The formal operational stage students obtained higher grades on MCTA than the transitional and concrete operational stages, conversely the concrete operational stage students obtained higher grades on MSRL than the formal and transitional operational. Students taught by saintific approach (SA) realized more difficulties in solving MCTA tasks than students getting treatment with IA. The study also found 1) MCTA students whose learning with IA is better than SA at medium grade level 2) no association between MCTA and CS, MCTA and MSRL, and CS and MSRL. Beside that, students performed intense activities during the IA lessons such as to discuss acitvely, to solve problems enthutiastically, and to present their work in front of the class voluntary.

Published: October 2020

Background: Several teaching-learning methods are widely used in medical schools all over the world. Optimizing and promoting active student learning has been the fundamental goal of these strategies. Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a structured form of small-group learn­ing which is a relatively new pedagogy in medical education. We aimed to introduce TBL in place of traditional lectures to teach physiology general concepts and evaluate its perception among undergraduate medical students at Chitwan Medical College.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted among all 100 (95/100 respon­dents) year I undergraduate medical students. We requested the students to complete a Team- Based Learning- Students Assessment Instrument (TBL-SAI) to study the preference towards TBL after completing 12 weeks of TBL.
Results: The study included 67 males and 28 females. Students reported agreement in TBL-SAI statements complementing and enjoying this newly introduced method. The overall mean TBL-SAI score was 111.55±11.05 (Range 78-128) which was above the defined threshold of 102 indicating favor to TBL over traditional lecture system. Sex, entry-type, and, past educational institutes were not associated with a preference of TBL. TBL-SAI is a reliable tool to use among undergraduate medical students in Nepal.
Conclusions: The study demonstrates TBL could be an effective way of teaching physiology general concepts to undergraduate medical students.

Published: October 2020

Background: Colles’ fracture is a common injury in the elderly population. Although it can be easily reduced, it is difficult to maintain the reduction in the conventional position of the wrist in palmar flexion with a poor functional outcome. Thus our study aimed to compare the radiological and functional outcome of such fractures with the wrist in two different posi­tions of dorsiflexion and palmar flexion.
Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted from April 2019 to March 2020 in the Orthopedics and Emergency department of KIST Medical College Teaching Hospital, Lalitpur, Ne­pal. Sixty-two patients, 31 in each group, all above 45 years with Colles’ fracture underwent close reduction and below elbow cast immobilization under hematoma block. Maintaining palmar flex­ion and ulnar deviation at the fracture site, the wrist was immobilized in dorsiflexion and palmar flexion attitude alternatively. During the respective follow-ups, the Demerit Scoring System of Saito was evaluated. Data collection and entry was done using the statistical package for social science version 16 and analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: All fractures were united. At the end of twelve weeks, Saito Scoring System of good to ex­cellent was markedly better in dorsiflexed group 29(93.5%) patients as compared to palmar flexed group 22(71.0%) patients, similarly grip power was also superior in dorsiflexed group 19(61.3%) patients than in palmar flexed group 11(35.5%) patients.
Conclusions: Cast immobilization of Colles’ fracture with the wrist in dorsiflexion prevents re-dis­placement of the fragments resulting in significantly better radiological and functional outcomes.
