Discursividade das memórias na produção de políticas-práticas curriculares frente ao discurso de obsolescência da escola
Authors: Priscila de Lima Araújo Azevedo Ana , Andrade Ataíde de Almeida Lucinalva 
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo se insere no campo do currículo e tem como objetivo discutir questões referentes à construção de teorias em torno do campo do curricular. Assim, questionamos inicialmente a possibilidade de haver uma única teoria curricular; posteriormente fazemos uma reflexão sobre o discurso de obsolescência da escola que tem permeado os diálogos sobre educação nos últimos anos e como isto tem reverberado sobre o campo de produção de políticas curriculares, e em seguida traçamos uma discussão sobre as relações entre essas políticas e as práticas curriculares desenvolvidas por professores em suas salas de aula, compreendendo-os como produtores de currículo e não meramente executores e assim traçamos uma relação entre esta produção curricular em movimento com a construção e emergência de memórias como movimentos discursivos desses professores Dialogando com referenciais de enfoques pós-estruturais, buscamos problematizar se há possibilidade ou não de falarmos em “uma teoria” curricular, evidenciando ainda como esses elementos se relacionam na construção de políticas curriculares que perseguem qualidade da educação. Assim, trazemos como conclusões, ainda que provisórias e abertas a outras possíveis leituras, que o pensar-praticar-pensar do professor, pode se apresentar como uma constante construção discursiva que não somente reconfigura as políticas-práticas curriculares, mas que o faz produtor de currículos.

Authors: Pavão Ana Cláudia , Dias Margarete de Fátima dos Santos 
Published: December 2024

Os recursos digitais estão progressivamente sendo utilizados no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. O governo federal, no intuito de diminuir as dificuldades de alfabetização dos alunos durante a pandemia, disponibilizou o aplicativo Grapho Game. Contudo, alunos com deficiência intelectual encontram várias barreiras na educação, entre elas está a falta de acessibilidade dos materiais educacionais, demandando recursos acessíveis para atender as diferentes necessidades que possuem. Desse modo, o estudo teve como objetivo analisar os recursos de acessibilidade do aplicativo digital Grapho Game para estudantes com deficiência intelectual. Foi utilizada abordagem qualitativa, objetivos exploratório-descritivos e procedimento de pesquisa participante. Os sujeitos foram dez alunos com diagnóstico de deficiência intelectual e a professora do atendimento educacional especializado. O instrumento de produção de dados foi o diário de campo, servindo-se das Diretrizes de Acessibilidade para Conteúdo Web- Guia de Consulta Rápida, Nível A, que contém 34 diretrizes. Por meio de análise qualitativa, os resultados permitiram afirmar que o aplicativo contém vinte e um critérios com recursos acessíveis, doze sem acessibilidade e um deles que possui em partes. Conclui-se que o aplicativo apresenta uma carência de recursos importantes de acessibilidade, pouco contribuindo para a autonomia e aprendizagem dos estudantes. Ademais, o aplicativo escolhido deveria ser pensado levando em consideração as diferentes características e necessidades dos estudantes, beneficiando não só os sujeitos com deficiência intelectual, mas também todos os outros sujeitos que possuem algum tipo de deficiência.
Creativity and Early Childhood Education: studies and research in Italian ECEC contexts
Authors: Gariboldi Antonio , Pugnaghi Antonella 
Published: December 2024

Promoting creativity in early childhood education does not only mean encouraging the development of an important capacity for present and future life, but also implies recognizing and assigning value to each child's subjectivity, giving space and attention to his ideas, his judgments and his original processes of learning. In this sense, thinking, promoting and making creativity visible constitutes, from a collaborative and participatory research perspective, three significant keywords of interrelated research areas that allow to study the theme of education to creativity in early childhood. Thinking about creativity refers to the importance of exploring both the ideas of creativity suggested in academic literature, which widen or reduce the definition of such concept through nuances and connotations, and the opinions and representations of teachers and educators. Promoting creativity refers to the examination of more strictly operative aspects, both in terms of the organization of space, materials, time settings and groups, and in terms of the teacher’s role in facilitating and supporting the development of creative processes. Making creativity visible, finally, is about examining the creative processes of children. In this case, it’s about documenting and analysing systematically how children can be creative in different situations and which are the manifestations of their creative thinking.
El vínculo con el contexto en la enseñanza de las ciencias naturales en la ruralidad
Authors: Zapata Rocio 
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo entender, a partir del relato de las prácticas de docentes de ciencias naturales de la modalidad rural, cómo se determina el abordaje de los contenidos y las perspectivas ante la enseñanza en este contexto. Se realizan entrevistas a 15 docentes de ciencias naturales en el nivel secundario, activos en el sistema educativo, en escuelas rurales o que han tenido experiencia en esta modalidad en la provincia de Entre Ríos. Se obtiene el relato de ocho docentes que permitirían evidenciar un vínculo con el contexto rural en sus prácticas, estando las y los siete restantes ante posibles prácticas descontextualizadas. Se establecen proyectos escolares como las huertas escolares y se evidencia una motivación ante el aprendizaje ante la contextualización de la enseñanza, según el relato de las y los docentes. Emergen posibles relaciones entre el uso de manuales de secundaria y textos bibliográficos en las clases y la dificultad para analizar los contenidos en función del contexto y la enseñanza en la ruralidad. Por último se alude a la falta de formación docente inicial y en ejercicio para enfrentar las particularidades en la enseñanza de las ciencias naturales en la ruralidad.
Impact of water deficit on the anatomical structure of more productive and less productive cashew trees (Anacardium occidentale L.) in Côte d’Ivoire

Published: December 2024

This study aimed to understand the mechanism of resilience of the anatomical tissues of organs of the cashew tree in water deficit in the different climatic zones of Côte d'Ivoire. To achieve this, samples of leaves and roots were taken from 55 cashew trees considered high producers (APHP) and 164 neighboring less productive trees (non-APHP) during the dry and rainy seasons. The technique of double staining with green-carmino made it possible to obtain anatomical sections of transversely cut samples under an optical microscope. The thicknesses and surface areas of the sections were measured using Image J software. The thickness of the leaves parenchymas of APHP trees did not show any variation according to the season while the stomatal density increased during the dry season. The thickness of the leaves cortical and medullary parenchymas of non-APHP trees did not show any variation according to the season too but the non-APHPs’ palisade parenchyma thickness increased while their lacunar parenchyma thickness decreased from 37 ± 1.5 mm to 36 ± 3.6 mm during the dry season. The thickness of leaves’ both sides epidermis increased while the thickness of xylem bundles decreased during the dry season to both APHP and non-APHP trees. The number of the roots’ xylem vessels of APHP trees increased from 11 to 27 vessels/mm2 while those of non-APHP trees increased from 15 to 41 vessels/mm2 during the rainy season. The surface area of the midrib medullary parenchyma of APHP trees increased from 4300 ± 837 mm2 to 5800 ± 412 mm2 while those of non-APHP trees increased from 3400 ± 809 mm2 to 5200 ± 993 mm2 during the dry season. The thicknesses of the tissues of APHPs remained greater than those of non-APHPs, regardless of the sampling season.

Abstract

Objectives
Diagnostic reconciliation is the collaborative process between patients and clinicians to create and reconcile evidence-based, feasible, and desirable care plans. However, the specific components of this process remain unclear. The objective of this study was to develop the first comprehensive framework to elucidate the diagnostic reconciliation process.

Methods
We followed a multi-step and iterative approach to develop the framework, including a focused systematic review of diagnostic conversations, quantitative evaluation of recordings of real-life clinical visits recordings, and stakeholder engagement (e.g., patients, clinicians, researchers).

Results
We identified 17 potential components to the process of diagnostic reconciliation through literature review and stakeholder engagement. After review of 56 clinical visits and further stakeholder engagement, we developed a final framework including four categories: 1) understanding the need for a test/referral, 2) logistics of test/referral scheduling, 3) test/referral information, and 4) test/referral results.

Conclusions
The proposed framework lays the foundation for evaluation and improvement of diagnostic conversations in practice. Clinicians can enhance patient-centered diagnosis by co-creating diagnostic plans of care in practice and using the components described in the novel diagnostic reconciliation framework.

Authors: Chokhandre Praveen Kailash , Vatavati Shrikanta R. , Pundappanavar Basavaraj I. , Hallad Jyoti S. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Adolescents make up 18 % of India’s total population, with 116 million being girls. Most research has focused on menstrual health and hygiene practices, with limited studies on menstrual pain/disorder (MPD) among adolescent girls using micro-level data from specific regions of India.

Objectives
This study aims to investigate the prevalence of menstrual pain/distress, its treatment-seeking behavior, and its associated predictors among adolescent girls.

Methods
The study employed data from a cross-sectional study design and interviewed 6,715 adolescent girls from 16 major States of India.

Results
The prevalence of MPD among adolescent girls was 61.8 %. Of these, a higher proportion of girls reported severe abdominal/back pain (90 %), followed by severe distress/irritation (26 %) and heavy bleeding (21 %). Findings suggest that girls who were educated about menstrual health were more likely to identify MPD and seek its treatment. Regarding treatment seeking for MPD, surprisingly, only about 14.3 % of girls sought treatment from health personnel, while 61 percent did not seek treatment at all. Home remedies (57 %), medical shops (25 %), and frontline workers or primary health centers (20 %) were found to be the preferred source of treatment. The prevalence of MPD and its treatment-seeking varies significantly by socio-economic characteristics.

Conclusions
The findings underscore the importance of providing menstrual health education and raising awareness of early identification and treatment-seeking among adolescent girls. The Government of India’s efforts in initiating Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health (ARSH) and Rashtriya Kishor Swasthaya Karyakram (RKSK) programs are noteworthy. Having sufficient and well-trained peer educators can accelerate the process of health education and generate demand for healthcare services.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Mutations in the AVPR2 gene are the most common cause of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). In-frame deletions of the AVPR2 gene are a rare variant that results in NDI. We report a novel variant of the p.H138del in an NDI family with twin male patients and three female carriers of different clinical phenotypes.

Methods
The proband’s blood genome was sequenced with a panel, and the variants were classified according to ACMG/AMP (2015) guidelines. X chromosome inactivation (XCI) was analyzed in the peripheral blood of his mother, grandmother, and maternal aunt, respectively. The haplotypes of the X chromosome were determined using their STR loci.

Results
A novel in-frame deletion in the AVPR2 gene was detected in monozygotic-twin boys, and his mother, grandmother, and maternal aunt were heterozygous carriers. The two boys showed typical NDI, and their mother and grandmother presented polydipsia, polydipsia, and polyuria, but the maternal aunt did not have similar symptoms. The blood XCI results of the mother, grandmother, and maternal aunt showed random inactivation (36.18 , 48.37, and 49.30 %, respectively). The X haplotype indicated that the variant of the mother and grandmother was on their activated X chromosomes(Xa), while the maternal aunt’s variant was on her inactivated X chromosome(Xi).

Conclusions
In-frame deletion of the AVPR2 gene within its functional domain can significantly affect protein function, which is one of the vital causes of NDI. The clinical variability of female carriers of AVPR2 is associated with underlying environmental and epigenetic factors or complex recombination of the X chromosomes.
Exploring L2 graduate writers’ identity construction in research writing practices: a symbolic interactionism perspective
Authors: Peng Yujie 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Research on identity construction among second language (L2) writers has revealed the dynamic interactions between L2 writers and the linguistic, textual, and social resources. However, how emerging scholarly writers construct their identities during their initial attempts at English research writing remains underexplored. To address this gap, the study investigated how two L2 graduate writers constructed their identities during the microprocess of writing their thesis proposals, using a symbolic interactionism perspective. Drawing on multiple data sources, the study found that, through their engagement with textual and social practices, the participants explored and interpreted their roles as scholarly writers, researchers, and graduate students. By interacting with peers, instructors, and advisors within their communities of practice, they each developed unique identities through passive or agentive role-taking and even active role-making. The findings underscore the dynamic, interactive process by which L2 graduate writers negotiated their roles and constructed their identities in the microprocesses of English research writing. The study also highlights the potential of symbolic interactionism as a framework for revealing the meanings underlying interactions between individuals and their social or textual practices.

Abstract
The central agglomeration Němčice in Moravia gave the name – the Němčice/Roseldorf type – to the entire gradually recognised group of large lowland settlements with production and distribution functions existing in La Tène Europe in the 3rd–2nd century BC. In addition to settlement and production features, several ditched quadrangular enclosures were also identified at the Němčice settlement. One of these, feature 525, was investigated in 2022. The history of the enclosure is demonstrated by finds and structures found in its inner space and from the individual layers of the fill of its ditch, which document development from the burial and perhaps other ritual functions of the enclosure ending with the deposition of fragments of weapons in the ditch, up to the incorporation of the feature into the space used for settlement activities. Ditched quadrangular enclosures, as are known besides Němčice especially from Roseldorf in eastern Austria and from other settlements in the corridor of the Amber Road, reflect significant changes in the ritual behaviour of the La Tène population in Central Europe in this period.
Numerical solutions and conservation laws for nonlinear evolution equations
Authors: Anisha  , Rohila Rajni 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper presents numerical solutions of nonlinear evolution equations using a hybrid collocation method. Nonlinear evolution equations, including the regularized long wave (RLW) equation and the modified regularized long wave (MRLW) equation, play a crucial role in modeling various physical phenomena. A hybrid collocation technique is used for estimating and examining the characteristics of the solitary waves, including their shape, structure, and propagation. The Crank–Nicolson method is used for time discretization and the hybrid collocation method for space discretization. The Fourier series analysis has been used to analyze the stability of the proposed method, and it is established that the hybrid collocation method is unconditionally stable. The accuracy of the proposed scheme is checked by computing the error norm L
∞ and the three invariants. The novelty of the method lies in deriving new approximations for the second derivative and applying it on time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equations. A comparison with existing techniques in the literature is conducted to check the improvements in results. The numerical outcomes show that the proposed scheme effectively depicts the conservation laws of solitary waves. The values of three invariants at different time levels have been shown to coincide with their analytical values. The propagation of one, two, and three solitary waves, development of the Maxwellian initial condition into one, two, and more solitary waves, and wave undulations have been illustrated graphically. The method captures the collisions between solitary waves very accurately. Our findings demonstrate that the new cubic B-spline approach offers an accurate and effective solution for the nonlinear evolution equations.

Abstract
These days, researchers are digging deep into the Zintl family of chemicals to uncover its many useful physical characteristics. Using a first-principles approach, this study investigates novel Zintl family XZn2Si2 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba) compounds for their different properties. The structural and electrical properties are represented by PBE-GGA and TB-mBJ potentials, respectively. The equilibrium structural parameters, which change with ionic radii, are obtained by optimization. The computations of the elastic constants confirmed the mechanical stability of the compounds. Elastic moduli, melting temperature, hardness, Debye temperature and acoustic properties are widely described. The compounds’ elastic anisotropy also discussed and extensively. The three compounds’ metallic origin was disclosed by their band structures. Chemicals exhibiting a high degree of valence band p-d hybridization. The compounds exhibit a combination of ionic and covalent bonding. In order to study the interaction between light and matter, the optical reflectivity, optical conductivity, and absorption coefficient are computed. In contrast to other compounds, CaZn2Si2 exhibits n-type transport. Among the compounds, CaZn2Si2 has the best figure of merit and may find use in thermoelectric devices.

Published: December 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe lower risk gambling guidelines (LRGG) represent an evidence-based collaborative effort to provide clear advice to people on the limits of safe gambling consumption. The guidelines are as follows: 1) Gamble no more than 1% of household income per month; and 2) Gamble no more than 4 days per month; and 3) Avoid regularly gambling at more than 2 types of games.MethodsIn an online survey study (N = 778), we evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the LRGG among different subpopulations in Finland.ResultsWe found that the guidelines were generally evaluated positively as understandable, sensible, clear, and “just right” in terms of their content. There were some notable differences between subpopulations: Individuals who were at risk of gambling problems evaluated the LRGG more negatively than others, while professionals working in the field of gambling prevention were the most optimistic about the guidelines. Thus, increased level of potentially harmful gambling engagement was linked with a somewhat more pessimistic attitude towards the guidelines. On the other hand, those who had not gambled in the past year viewed the guidelines as too permissive compared with those who had gambled, or those working in gambling prevention.DiscussionOverall, our results show clear differences of opinion between the various subpopulations, which appear to be associated with the individuals' level and nature of gambling experience. We conclude that the LRGG can likely be adopted into wider use in Finland.
Electric vehicle adoption in Generation Z: Drivers of Hungarian higher education students' attitude
Authors: Kovács Tamás , Wolf Gábor 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe transition to electric vehicles has become an urgent priority due to their lower environmental impact. The automotive industry has already developed solutions for zero-emission vehicles to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, this transition heavily depends on the evolution of consumer demand. This paper focuses on Generation Z, as they will soon become a determining consumer segment in the automotive market. Our research aims to analyze Generation Z's attitude toward electric vehicles. Their attitude provides valuable insights for industry leaders regarding future consumer behavior. We analyzed the relationship between selected adoption factors (environmental concern, perceived risk, ease of use, and enjoyment) and Generation Z's attitude toward electric vehicles (measured by perceived relative advantage). Our research is based on data from Hungarian Generation Z respondents, and our findings conclude that environmental concern is less relevant than enjoyment and ease of use, which are the most impactful factors.
