Authors: Aleksandravičiūtė Birutė , Liekis Kęstutis 
Published: June 2020

Team-based learning strategy is widely applied in the world's higher education institutions in the most diverse fields of studies. Its popularity is due to its positive impact on student’s achievement. Team-based learning increases student’s motivation and involvement into the study process, and its implementation enables students to acquire the competencies necessary in the modern labor market.
The research problem: what are the opportunities to adapt team-based learning strategies into university studies?
Research object: team-based learning strategy.
Aim: to explore the possibilities of Team-based learning strategy in bachelor studies.
The research found, that in order to successfully adapt this strategy, it should be taken into consideration that a significant part of students is working students, and classes are missed. In cases where attendance is not compulsory, larger teams should be formed. It has been found that it is difficult for students to apply theoretical knowledges by solving real practical situations, so the teachers must to be prepared various of practical examples, in order to successfully adapt the team-based learning strategy, it is expedient to use already available, high-quality studies materials and properly adjust schedules.
Factors Determining the Success in Self-Evaluation of General Education School: The Case of Lithuania
Authors: Tumlovskaja Jelizaveta , Prakapas Romas 
Published: June 2020

The self-evaluation of the quality of activities in general education schools in Lithuania was started in 2002. A number of scientific studies have been carried out during the process of design and application of quality self-evaluation tools; however, research showed that the essence of quality self-evaluation processes was not always understood. Meanwhile, there are examples of good practice in Lithuania that have been identified with an external quality evaluation of the schools. Therefore, this article addresses to the problem of the factors that determine the success of self-evaluation of quality in general education schools. The article is based on a case study strategy. Classical and content analysis methods were used to process the research data. The study concludes that the key factors of the success of quality self-evaluation in schools consist of a well-organized self-evaluation process, timely use of self-evaluation data, and an impact on organizational development in response to change challenges. Factors identified with the study are related to clear management decisions related to planning, responsible involvement of all community members, and integration of internal processes focusing on the challenges of educational process change. This helps to clearly understand the mission of the organization, and also provides a great foundation for the leadership of every member of the community and contributes to the development of their professional competencies.
Language, Ethics and "The Merits of Being Involved in Meaning". Review of Maria Balaska: Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit: Meaning and Astonishment
Authors: Livingston Paul 
Published: June 2020

Working through Balaska’s deeply perceptive, elegantly written, and profoundly honest book, Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit, a reader steeped in the recent academic literature about either or both of its main figures may come to feel herself placed at what is, itself, a certain kind of limit. The limit I mean is the limit of a familiar type of theoretical discourse about the constitution and structure of language and subjectivity as Wittgenstein and Lacan treat them: it includes the discourses that seek, for instance, to articulate how language and sense are constituted in the Tractatus, and thus what is really meant by “logical form” and “nonsense” there; or those that aim to comprehend the true relationship of our biological nature to language, culture, and the advent of freedom in Lacan; or, again, those that try to find, in either thinker’s works (or both), the precise location of the delicate logical buttonhole that would alone permit us entry, from within everyday language and life, to the absoluteness of an ineffable beyond. These discourses all treat of language and life, but handle these phenomena (so we might say) at arm’s length, theorizing the structure of each and the form of their relationship in such a way as to establish, ultimately, their mutual convertibility to one another, their mutual absorption into a third, more inclusive term (such as “nature” or “biology), or adduce translations from the dense theoretical matrices of one thinker’s treatment of them to the other’s (for instance, from the terminology of logic to that of psychoanalysis, or back again). Balaska’s book, doing none of these things, rather succeeds in bringing out how an interconnected reading of the Wittgenstein of the Tractatus and Lacan may speak to and inform our response to a certain kind of experience that is characteristic for both thinkers, and typical as well of those moments and occasions of our lives in which we may find ourselves drawn to reflect on what meaning is and how we relate to it.
Una propuesta de plan de clase para dinamizar la lectura crítica
Authors: Avendaño de Barón Gloria Smith , González González Olga Lucía 
Published: June 2020

Este artículo muestra resultados de una investigación aplicada, de corte educativo, cuyo objetivo fue identificar cómo leen críticamente estudiantes de Grado 10° de una institución educativa colombiana y cómo abordan sus maestros este proceso en el aula; la población se conformó con 90 estudiantes de ese Grado y 4 docentes del área Lengua Castellana. La información se recolectó con una prueba diagnóstica de lectura crítica mediante un cuestionario de 22 preguntas, unas de selección múltiple y otras abiertas, para detectar el nivel de desempeño de los estudiantes en cada una de las tres dimensiones de lectura crítica, y una encuesta docente con 4 preguntas abiertas para conocer su concepción de lectura crítica, estrategias didácticas y textos preferidos para trabajarla. Los resultados mostraron deficiencias de los estudiantes en interpretación, reflexión y evaluación, y dificultades de tipo teórico y pedagógico de los profesores; por ello, como apoyo a los docentes, se diseñó un Plan de Clase soportado en una pedagogía dialógica crítica en el que se articula el contenido temático del área a la lectura crítica y a la producción textual.

Authors: Do Nascimento Everaldo , Da Silva Azevedo Mont’Alverne Clara Roseane 
Published: June 2020

The main objective of this article is to highlight the contributions of the social practices of language in the teaching and learning process of reading and writing in primary education. In the methodological aspect, we conducted a thorough bibliographic review in order to understand the contributions of these social practices of language and their contributions to education. We point out the readings that deal with this theme, based on the authors who highlight these aspects focused on the social practices of language. Of which we highlight Freire (2011), which addresses concepts on learning; Soares (2017), which clarifies the influence of culture on the learning process, Also Vieira (2020), which provides us with indicative appraisals on the educational discourse for a transformative school.
The Algorithm of Rational Planning and Resource Allocation in Preparing a Group of Aircraft for Use in Conditions of Uncertainty
Authors: Buryak Yu. I. , Skrynnikov A. A. 
Published: June 2020

The article considers the algorithm of rational planning of work on preparing a group of aircraft for departure, provided that the duration of each of the work is random. The work is carried out by specialists of different profiles with restrictions — it is not allowed to simultaneously perform two or more work on one aircraft and the simultaneous work of a specialist on two or more aircraft. To evaluate the preparation plan for a group of aircraft for departure, the following indicators are taken: the time required to complete all work with a given guaranteed probability and the probability of all work being completed within a given time. To conduct a probabilistic analysis of the sequence of events that determine the progress of work, at the first stage a graph of work is built. When constructing the work graph, the restrictions imposed during the statement of the problem are taken into account by introducing fictitious works. At the second stage, on the basis of the constructed graph of work performance, a stochastic model is developed in which the duration of each work is modeled in accordance with a given distribution law. For many implementations, a distribution function of a random variable is constructed — the total time of preparation of a group of aircraft for departure, by which the values of the required performance indicators are determined. Peculiarities of constructing a graph of work performance are analyzed on the example of preparation for the departure of four aircraft. A detailed probabilistic analysis of a rational plan in conditions of uncertainty — with a random duration of work — was carried out on the example of a rational plan of work on a group of two aircraft. As a result of stochastic modeling, the distribution functions of the time moment of the end of each of the work, the delay time of the start of work and the time of the end of all work on the group of aircraft are constructed. Based on the obtained distribution laws, the dependences of the numerical characteristics of random variables — the number of completed work on the aircraft — on the current time were found. The obtained values of the performance indicators allow us to assess the acceptability of the checked rational plan. If, with rational planning of work by a team of a given composition, the guaranteed time to complete work on a group of aircraft is greater than the required value, then the composition of the team will increase. An algorithm has been developed to justify the composition of the minimum number of crews, which can provide training of a group of aircraft with a given reliability for a given time with a random duration of work.

Aim: The primary aim of this study was to detect the patterns of implant prosthetic treatment modalities among Saudi adults restored with dental implants in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The secondary objective was to describe the status of the health insurance covering dental implants in Saudi Arabia.
Materials and Methods: 323 Saudi patients aged ≥18 years residing in Saudi Arabia and treated with at least one dental implant were randomly selected and clinically examined for implant prostheses types (single-tooth, implant-supported long or short span conventional fixed bridge, implant overenture) done in dental premises (hospitals, polyclinics, private clinics, etc…) in Saudi Arabia. Radiographs were used too. The health insurance covering dental implants was detected. The data obtained including age, gender, systemic disease, and tobacco smoking were documented in a patient examination form then statistically analyzed using Chi-Square Test or Fisher-Freeman-Halton Test and U-Test.
Results: The most frequently tooth type replaced by dental implants was the molars (46.9%), followed by premolars (41.6%), incisors (6.5%), and canines (5%); mandibular first molars were the most common tooth type replaced by implants. Single-tooth implant was the most common prosthetic treatment modality (88.3%), followed by implant-supported short span conventional fixed bridge (9.3%), implant overdenture (1.6%), and implant-supported long span conventional fixed bridge (0.9%). The percentages of single-tooth implant and implant-supported short span fixed bridge were higher in patients <40 years than in patients ≥40 years; however, in all age groups, single-tooth implant was the most common prosthesis type, and short span fixed bridge was the second most common prosthesis type. Of all teeth types replaced by dental implants, molars were the most common type in long span fixed bridges (36.1%) and in single-tooth implants (50.2%), and premolars were the most common type in short span fixed bridges (43.9%); also, of all teeth types replaced by dental implants, canines were the most common type in overdentures (56.7%). Incisors were mainly replaced by single-tooth implants (52.8%). There was an insignificant difference in the median of dental implants between males and females.
Conclusion: Single-tooth implant is major. Health insurance policy doesn’t cover dental implants in Saudi Arabia. Dental implant therapy is no more a complementary or an accessory procedure.
Gasim Alwi THE LAND USE ANALYSIS OF OIL PALM PLANTATION TO INCREASE OF INCOME IN EAST KALIMANTAN PROVINCE
Authors: Gasim Alwi 
Published: June 2020

The development of oil palm plantation has been playing important roles in the economic development, which in turn increasing the income of rural community in East Kalimantan. However, this development will trigger the conversion of land function from forest and farming lands to oil palm plantations. This research applies unit analysis of sub-district/village in the region of East Kalimantan Province using pixel format (1 pixel was equivalent to 1.000 ha) through the process of geospatial model during the research period from 2000 to 2011.
Secondary data were used in the process of regression model analysis of using OLS (Ordinary Least Square) and Probit Estimation to estimate the land use and the income of oil palm farmers. The results of model shows that (1) land use for oil palm plantation, has a significant positive correlation with variables, deforestation and the area of oil palm plantation, but the area of forest land cover has a negative correlation. The result also shows that there was a negative correlation between deforestation variable and forest variable. This was because not all of the lands used for plantation were derived from forest lands. (2) In terms of probit panel estimation model, it was found that there was a positive and significant effect of production oil palm plantation on expansion of oil palms and (3) income of households that have oil palm plantations.
Forest land use and development needs to be controlled by taking economic factor into account; otherwise, it will give a negative impact on the income of the community.

Client satisfaction with health service provision within the health insurance schemes are crucial to guide policy and decision making. Further on, the achievement of universal health coverage within the health insurance scheme in Nigeria requires evaluating the extent to which the expectations of those who have utilized health-care services, are met. This study was designed to assess NHIS-enrolleesâ€™ satisfaction and the responsiveness of outpatient health care services provided under the NHIS at UNTH, Enugu. This cross sectional descriptive study was carried out between July and September 2018. Data on enrolleeâ€™s satisfaction was collected using the standardized Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire, and data on responsiveness was collected using the questionnaire froma responsiveness survey designed by theWHO. The results show that of the 368 NHIS-enrollees in the survey, 269 (73.1%) were satisfied with the services they received and 190 (51.6%) respondents considered the services to be responsive to their needs, with â€˜choice of providerâ€™ and â€˜autonomyâ€™ ranking the least in domain of service. The factors independently associated with dissatisfaction with the NHIS services at UNTH (at p<0.05) include: having a family size of â‰¤4, having worked for 10 â€“ 19 years in the civil service, and having >4 dependents. The factors independently associated with non-responsiveness of services within the NHIS at UNTH (at p<0.05) were: male gender, rural residence, having attended the UNTH twice or thrice, and having worked in the civil service for <10 years or for 10 â€“ 20 years. This study concludes that a high proportion of NHIS-enrollees were satisfied with outpatient services within the NHIS; however, NHIS outpatient services were responsive to the needs of only half of the enrollees. It is recommended that poorly performing domains of services are strengthened, especially â€˜choice of providerâ€™ and â€˜autonomyâ€™; and that factors associated with non-satisfaction and non-responsiveness of outpatient services offered within the NHIS be addressed by orientation, training and local policy solutions.

Le sÃ©same (Sesamum indicum L.), une plante annuelle autofÃ©conde originaire dâ€™Afrique et dâ€™Inde, est trÃ¨s sensible aux stades de germination et de semis mais modÃ©rÃ©ment tolÃ©rant aux stress hydrique et salin. Cette Ã©tude menÃ©e en serre a pour objectif dâ€™Ã©valuer lâ€™effet de diffÃ©rentes concentrations de NaCl sur la germination des graines et la croissance des semis de treize cultivars africains de sÃ©same provenant du SÃ©nÃ©gal, du Burkina Faso, du Cameroun et du Soudan. Un dispositif Ã blocs randomisÃ©s avec deux facteurs et trois rÃ©pÃ©titions a Ã©tÃ© utilisÃ© . Les rÃ©sultats montrent un effet nÃ©gatif du gradient de salinitÃ© sur les taux de germination, de survie, la biomasse fraiche, la biomasse sÃ¨che, le diamÃ¨tre au collet et la longueur de la tige. Les cultivars AS09, AS13, AS14, AS15, AS19 et AS25 ont Ã©tÃ© moins affectÃ©s par la salinitÃ©. Lâ€™importance de lâ€™effet dÃ©pressif dÃ©pend de la concentration de sel et de la variÃ©tÃ© de cultivar de sÃ©same.
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), an annual self-pollinating plant native to Africa and India, is very sensitive to the stages of germination and sowing but moderately tolerant to water and salt stress. The objective of this greenhouse study is to assess the effect of different NaCl concentrations on seed germination and seedling growth of thirteen African sesame cultivars from Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Sudan. A randomized block device with two factors and three replicates was used. The results show a negative effect of the salinity gradient on the germination rate, survival, fresh biomass, dry biomass, diameter at the collar and length of the stem. Cultivars AS09, AS13, AS14, AS15, AS19 and AS25 were less affected by salinity. The magnitude of the depressive effect depends on the concentration of salt and the sesame cultivar.

Lâ€™immobilitÃ© bilatÃ©rale des cordes vocales peut mettre en jeu le pronostic vital du patient. Lâ€™objectif de lâ€™Ã©tude a Ã©tÃ© dâ€™analyser les Ã©lÃ©ments diagnostiques Ã Ã©valuer avant la prise en charge. Il sâ€™est agi dâ€™une Ã©tude transversale et descriptive portant sur les cas dâ€™immobilitÃ© bilatÃ©rale des cordes vocales reÃ§us entre 1 er Janvier 2008 et le 1 er Mars 2018. Les donnÃ©es socio-dÃ©mographiques, cliniques, paracliniques et les Ã©tiologies ont Ã©tÃ© recueillies. En dix ans 56 patients ont Ã©tÃ© reÃ§us et examinÃ©s. Lâ€™Ã¢ge moyen a Ã©tÃ© de 56 ans avec une sex-ratio de 1,07. Les principaux signes rÃ©pertoriÃ©s Ã©taient la dyspnÃ©e (44 cas ; 78,6%), la dysphonie (8 cas ; 14,3%) et les fausses routes (2 cas ; 3,6%). Les cordes vocales Ã©taient immobiles en adduction paramÃ©diane (29 cas ; 51,79%), en adduction mÃ©diane (25 cas ; 44,64%) ou en abduction (2 cas ; 3,6%). Les deux principales causes retrouvÃ©es ont Ã©tÃ© lâ€™intubation prolongÃ©e et la thyroiÌˆdectomie totale. La paralysie des cordes vocales est peu frÃ©quente. La nasofibroscopie est la clÃ© du diagnostic. Lâ€™intubation prolongÃ©e et la chirurgie thyroiÌˆdienne en sont les causes les plus frÃ©quentes.
Bilateral immobility of the vocal cords can be life-threatening. The aim of the study was to analyze the diagnostic elements to be assessed before treatment. This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study on the cases of bilateral immobility of the vocal cords received between January 1, 2008 and March 1, 2018. Socio-demographic, clinical, paraclinical and etiology data were collected. In ten years 56 patients have been received and examined. The average age was 56 with a sex ratio of 1.07. The main signs listed were dyspnea (44 cases; 78.6%), dysphonia (8 cases; 14.3%) and false routes (2 cases; 3.6%). The vocal cords were immobile in paramedian adduction (29 cases; 51.79%), in median adduction (25 cases; 44.64%) or in abduction (2 cases; 3.6%). The two main causes found were prolonged intubation and total thyroidectomy. Vocal cord paralysis is uncommon. Nasofibroscopy is the key to diagnosis. Prolonged intubation and thyroid surgery are the most common causes.
