Content Based Language Instruction practice and its challenges in TVET: the case of Bahir Dar polytechnic college, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia
Authors: Gessese Negesse Belay 
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to assess whether or not students and teachers were having positive attitude towards the practice of content based language instruction and to see the actual practice of it in TVET poly technic colleges. It was particularly meant to investigate students’ attitude towards the usefulness of the course, course contents, assessment and teacher’s competence. Teacher’s attitude towards the course and challenges of it if occurs were investigated. Moreover, the study was targeted to investigating the actual practice of teaching in three areas: students’ participation, teachers’ language skills and teachers’ skill in using instructional materials. The study was conducted in one Polytechnic College of Amhara Region. Generally, from the total number of 2909 trainees in four different levels; second year Level Three and Level Four trainees were purposefully selected. From the selected six departments (639 trainees), 185 were randomly selected. Regarding CBL teachers, no sample selection were needed for their number was small and easily manageable. So, the participant of the study were 6 teachers and 185 students in the college. The data were collected through questionnaire, observation and interview and the results were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The result of the study revealed that students and teachers showed positive attitude towards the usefulness of CBL courses, course contents and course assessment. However, students had negative attitude towards teachers’ competence. And teachers’ actual practice revealed that teachers did not properly apply content based language instruction to bring the desired result. The study also indicated that there were problems for its implementation due to teachers’ lack of language skills and training. The combined responses of the participants (students and teachers) revealed that the students didn’t get benefit and this impact developed because of teachers’ incompetence to implement content based language instruction. Finally, it was concluded that CBLI was not implemented as it is desired. Therefore, concerned bodies should take various measures to ameliorate the challenges.
The CV Treatment of Consonantal Gemintes in Arabic: A Non-Linear Approach
Authors: Ibrahim Majid Abdulatif 
Published: December 2020

Several general characteristics of consonantal geminates in phonological theory have been investigating for some years. Scholars have attempted to account for these special properties and to see some of the ways as to how geminate behaves phonologically. The present study is a humble attempt to throw some light on how the CV model of phonology tackles certain aspects of consonantal geminates in Arabic. It concentrates on essential points as to whether geminate consonants are treated as one long segment or as two short independent exponents that are found at syllable junctions.
Una casa della scuola per Roma Capitale
Authors: Cantatore Lorenzo 
Published: December 2020

Our research focuses on school buildings constructed in the first decade of Roma Capitale, between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of twentieth century. The buildings belonged to two categories: 1) edifices readapted as schools (former convents and private dwellings); 2) newly built constructions. School buildings are studied considering their architectural layout, their location within the urban plan, their décor and their symbolic meaning in relation to topography and toponymy. The study method uses interpretation of spaces and places as educational objects that exert an extraordinary influence on the collective imagination. The sources used are: 1) archive documents (Archivio Capitolino) relating to projects and technical relations of architects and engineers; 2) legal documents: laws, measurements, bulletins, ministerial reports on school buildings; 3) publications that document the shaping of public opinion on the importance of endowing the capital with a number of representative and efficient educational sites. The work highlights three main historical trends: 1) the emergenc of laws supporting compulsory education (Casati law, Coppino law) and the social architectural initiatives undertaken in Rome’s poorest and most deprived neighborhoods (Trastevere, Suburra) or in newly built ones for the ascending middle class (Castro Pretorio); 2) the contradiction between rhetoric regarding public educational sites and the scarcity of financial backing for the management of municipal public education and the subsequent, perennial lack of new schooling sites; 3) competition with contemporary religious school architecture, which in comparison with that of public and secular schools was always at the vanguard.

Published: December 2020

A experiência de interação entre consumidor e produto é essencialmente subjetiva e de difícil avaliação e tradução. Nela, há fatores cognitivos e afetivos que são estimulados por atributos de produtos incorporadas ao design que podem ser funcionais e hedônicos. O objetivo do design cognitivo e afetivo é conquistar o consumidor com produtos que proporcionam experiências inovadoras com intenso impacto funcional e “cognitivo” como facilidades de uso, além do impacto “afetivo” como o prazer de consumir. Contudo, modelos é métodos de engenharia e design tem dificuldades de avaliação e tradução das informações, pois é difícil antecipar a intenção e preferência do consumidor. Os fenômenos ocorrem dentro da mente, cérebro, e fazem parte da experiência subjetiva e não são, portanto, acessíveis ao observador externo. O objetivo deste artigo é propor um modelo de avaliação e tradução da experiência cognitiva e afetiva de produto, por meio de uma abordagem multidisciplinar de paradigma cognitivista. Como resultado, é proposto três indicadores que contribuem para o avanço nos estudos sobre a subjetividade do consumidor.

Authors: Carrillo García César , Ríos Rísquez María Isabel , Escudero Fernández Laura , Martínez Roche María Emilia 
Published: December 2020

Objetivos: Analizar la presencia de estrés laboral en el equipo volante de enfermería de un Hospital General Universitario tomando como referencia el modelo demandas-control-apoyo de Karasek.Método: Estudio observacional de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 38 profesionales de enfermería del equipo volante de un Hospital General Universitario. Instrumentos de evaluación: para conocer la percepción de los profesionales de enfermería sobre el contenido de su trabajo y determinar los estresores laborales, se empleó el cuestionario Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) traducido y validado para enfermería hospitalaria.Resultados: La tasa de participación fue del 90,47% (N=38). Se registró una media para la dimensión de apoyo social de 2,59±0,47, para la dimensión de demandas psicológicas en el trabajo de 3,26±0,47, y para la dimensión de control sobre el trabajo se obtuvo una media de 2,87±0,40. El análisis de datos puso de manifiesto un nivel moderado de estresores, destacando un déficit de apoyo social por parte de los superiores, que resultó ser más acusado en el grupo de profesionales adscritos a la dirección de enfermería (2,89 vs 2,49; p<0,05). Ninguna de las tres dimensiones se mostró asociada a las variables socio-laborales de sexo, edad, turno, adscripción y tipo de vinculación al hospital.Conclusiones: Existe una percepción moderada de estresores laborales, resaltando el escaso apoyo social por parte de los superiores, siendo este aspecto una área de mejora sobre la que intervenir.
Objectives: To analyse the presence of work-related stress in the nursing bureau of a University General Hospital taking as reference Karasek's demand-control-support model.Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. The sample included 38 nursing professionals from the nursing bureau of a University General Hospital. Assessment tools: the Job Content Questionnaire (JQC), translated and validated for hospital nursing, was used to know the perception of nursing professionals concernins their work, and to determine the presence of any work-related stressors. Results: The participation rate was 90.47% (N=38). The average for the social support dimension was 2.59±0.47, for the psychological demands of 3.26±0.47, and for control over their own work of 2.87±0.40. Data analysis pointed to a moderate level of stress, reflecting a deficit in the social support provided by superiors, particulary in the group of professionals assigned to nursery management (2.89 vs 2.49; p<0.05). None of the three dimensions showed a link of any kind with socio-occupational variables of gender, age, shift, assignment or type of connection to the hospital.Conclusion: Improvement is needed in this area on the part of human resources management in order to lessen the effect of work-related stress, psychological demands and lack of control over these.

Traitement des hypoglycémies non sévères dans le diabète de type 1 : remise en question
de la recommandation actuelle
Authors: Carignan Astrid 
Published: December 2020

Les recommandations actuelles pour traiter l’hypoglycémie non sévère suggèrent de
consommer 15 g de glucides et de répéter cette prise aux 15 minutes jusqu’à résolution de
l’épisode. Les évidences qui sous-tendent cette recommandation sont basées sur un consensus
d’experts et un très maigre échantillon d’études datant de trente ans. Or, de multiples
avancées thérapeutiques ont depuis mené à l’évolution des profils pharmacocinétiques et
l’insulinothérapie intensive. Ceci justifie une révision rigoureuse des lignes directrices
actuelles (1). Cette revue de la littérature vise à faire la lumière sur les études axées
sur le type et la quantité de glucides donnés aux adultes vivant avec le diabète de type 1
pour traiter les épisodes d’hypoglycémie. Le recensement des articles scientifiques a été
mené sur les moteurs de recherche PubMed, Google Scholar et Cochrane
Library. Les articles répertoriés corroborent la nécessité de réviser la recommandation
actuelle, puisqu’ils montrent qu’une quantité initiale plus élevée de glucides traite plus
efficacement l’hypoglycémie. À ce jour, la meilleure option de glucides disponible est le
glucose ou le sucrose en comprimés. Certains auteurs explorent toutefois actuellement des
alternatives à la prise de glucides dans le traitement de l’hypoglycémie, telle que la
« mini-dose » de glucagon.
Gouverner en tant que pairs (governing as peers) : experts réticents et parents compétents au sein de l’État-providence suédois
Authors: Eklund Lisa , Lundqvist Åsa 
Published: December 2020

Ces dernières années, le soutien parental a gagné en importance dans l’État-providence suédois, tant sur les plans politique que pratique. D’un côté, la parentalité, jugée déterminante pour l’avenir de l’enfant, nécessite connaissances et expertise. De l’autre, les parents sont aussi perçus comme des experts de leur propre enfant. Cet intrigant paradoxe est le sujet de cet article.
Sur la base d’entretiens effectués avec les acteurs du milieu du soutien parental, nous observons que ces derniers peuvent être qualifiés d’« experts réticents » parce qu’ils sont soucieux de respecter l’autonomie des parents et de ne pas paraître paternalistes. Cependant, selon eux, la suppression du rôle d’expert peut également être une stratégie pour attirer davantage de parents et favoriser l’éclosion du « parent compétent ».
Il a été affirmé que l’« expert réticent » et le « parent compétent » ne peuvent être bien compris que si les pratiques de soutien parental sont considérées comme une forme de microtechnologies destinées à gouverner les parents dans un cadre néolibéral, en mettant l’accent sur le contrôle indirect et horizontal de la parentalité et des familles. Nous proposons de conceptualiser cela avec l’expression « gouverner en tant que pairs » (governing as peers). Le cadre néolibéral se caractérise également par le fait que les problèmes et les solutions sont circonscrits aux niveaux individuel et familial, plutôt qu’au niveau structurel, ce qui implique une responsabilisation des parents.
Mixer le social ? Intervention et exercice de la parentalité dans un contexte de gentrification à Montréal
Authors: Berthiaume Annabelle 
Published: December 2020

La « mixité sociale » fait partie des stratégies des pouvoirs publics pour déconcentrer les quartiers pauvres et favoriser une plus grande cohésion sociale entre les habitant-es issu-es de divers milieux sociaux, culturels et économiques. Alors que la ville fait face à un contexte de gentrification, où des populations plus aisées s’installent dans des quartiers populaires, les politiques de mixité sociale veulent maintenir l’accès à la ville des populations issues de toutes les catégories sociales. Si ce phénomène et ses impacts sur les coûts des logements ou des produits de consommation sont relativement bien documentés, nous en savons encore très peu sur la mise en oeuvre de la mixité en intervention sociale et, plus particulièrement, dans les services entourant le développement de la petite enfance et le soutien à la parentalité. Cet article s’appuie sur une enquête ethnographique combinant une analyse documentaire, des observations, 16 entrevues avec des mères fréquentant les services publics et communautaires qui mettent en place les politiques de soutien à la parentalité et de développement de l’enfant, ainsi que 14 entrevues avec des intervenant-es qui travaillent dans ces structures. L’analyse permet d’observer le fait que le projet de mixité sociale, s’il a pour qualité de promouvoir l’inclusion et l’accès universel de toutes les mères à ces services, pose certaines limites pratiques. Paradoxalement, il ne permet pas à certaines mères, et particulièrement aux plus pauvres et aux plus marginalisées, de rester incluses dans les services qui leur sont pourtant destinés.
3e Café de bioéthique « Le citoyen comme acteur de santé publique : défis et opportunités »

Published: December 2020

Ce compte-rendu synthétise les échanges tenus lors du 3ème Café de bioéthique de 2019 à Québec, qui ont porté sur le thème : « Le citoyen comme acteur de santé publique : défis et opportunités ». Trois panélistes – Yan Kestens, Allison Marchildon et Karine Lefeuvre – ont enrichi cette rencontre de leur expertise en santé publique et en éthique. Cet échange a fait ressortir la valeur de la participation citoyenne en santé publique et l’importance d’en nuancer sa compréhension et sa mise en application. Il est prioritaire de considérer les relations entre les différentes parties prenantes, les facteurs contextuels pouvant affecter ce processus et les stratégies éthiques permettant de renforcir de « bonnes » participations citoyennes. Cette rencontre s’inscrit dans une série de Cafés de bioéthique tenus à Montréal et à Québec sur le sujet de l’éthique, de la santé et des données.
Urban Operating Systems
Authors: Luque-Ayala Andrés , Marvin Simon 
Published: December 2020

A new wave of enthusiasm for smart cities, urban data, and the Internet of Things has created the impression that computation can solve almost any urban problem. Subjecting this claim to critical scrutiny, in this book, Andrés Luque-Ayala and Simon Marvin examine the cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts in which urban computational logics have emerged. They consider the rationalities and techniques that constitute emerging computational forms of urbanization, including work on digital urbanism, smart cities, and, more recently, platform urbanism. They explore the modest potentials and serious contradictions of reconfiguring urban life, city services, and urban-networked infrastructure through computational operating systems—an urban OS.
Luque-Ayala and Marvin argue that in order to understand how digital technologies transform and shape the city, it is necessary to analyze the underlying computational logics themselves. Drawing on fieldwork that stretches across eleven cities in American, European, and Asian contexts, they investigate how digital products, services, and ecosystems are reshaping the ways in which the city is imagined, known, and governed. They discuss the reconstitution of the contemporary city through digital technologies, practices, and techniques, including data-driven governance, predictive analytics, digital mapping, urban sensing, digitally enabled control rooms, civic hacking, and open data narratives. Focusing on the relationship between the emerging operating systems of the city and their traditional infrastructures, they shed light on the political implications of using computer technologies to understand and generate new urban spaces and flows.

Spontaneous Pregnancy after Bilateral Tubal Ligation: A Rare Occurance
Authors: Tunau K. , Bello S. , Panti A. , Alabi S. 
Published: December 2020

Bilateral tubal ligation is a form of female sterilization. It is the most commonly used method of family planning worldwide and it is a permanent method of fertility control. However the failure rate is 0.1 – 0.8%.
A case report of a booked Gravida 5, Para 3+1, Alive 3 who had two previous Caesarean Sections and a previous Uterine Rupture is presented. She had a Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL) performed. She however presented six years after this with a spontaneous pregnancy. She presented in the first trimester, the pregnancy was followed up and she eventually had elective caesarean section and repeat bilateral tubal ligation.
