Engaging primary mathematics teachers in two private schools in South Sudan: A case study on student-centred teaching in problem-solving and mathematical discourse
Authors: Soforon Oduho G.B , Sikko Svein A. , Tesfamicael Solomon A. 
Published: August 2024

The teaching and learning of mathematics in sub-Saharan African countries is dominated by teacher-centred pedagogies rather than student-centred ones. Observations of mathematics teachers at two private schools in South Sudan confirmed such practices. This inspired the researchers to design an intervention to help six primary mathematics teachers shift their practices through problem-solving and mathematical discourse. Design-based research methods were implemented, and data were gathered using observations supported by video and audio recordings and field notes. The participants were selected using convenience sampling, and the data were analysed using Stephan’s checklist of student-centred teaching as a framework. The findings revealed that initially, teachers were using tasks from textbooks, and the teachers themselves were engaged in solving the tasks while their students reproduced their actions. Additionally, all the teachers dominated classroom discussions. After the intervention, the teachers began to select tasks that could enhance learning through problem-solving and mathematical discourse among the students, shifting the teacher’s role to facilitation as the students engaged in solving the tasks on their own. However, the shift in practice was highly dependent on the intervention, as the teachers’ tasks were adopted from the workshop.Contribution: This study contributes to the literature on student-centred mathematics teaching in sub-Saharan Africa by providing insights into the factors that enable or hinder teachers’ adoption of student-centred approaches, and by suggesting ways to support teachers’ professional development and learning within their own contexts.

Published: August 2024

Diarrhea disease is categorized as the top 10 most common diseases in North Sumatra, especially Medan City. The number of diarrhea cases in each sub-district in Medan City varies, indicating a relationship between regions. This is the basis for the use of spatial models to find out how much influence variables have on the incidence of diarrhea in Medan City. The Spatial Auto regressive (SAR) model is used to adjust the relationships that exist between a set of observations or locations. In this study, the results of SAR modeling of diarrhea cases in 21 sub-districts in Medan City compared to the OLS model produced the best model. The SAR model yielded 35.82%. The significant variable for diarrhea cases in Medan City is the number of people who do not have access to PAM water ( ).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to translate the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) into Turkish and investigate the perceptions of Turkish-speaking patients with different axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) subtypes regarding exercise benefits and barriers.
Patients and methods: This validation study was conducted between June 2018 and December 2021. Patients with axSpA were consecutively assessed regarding physical (age, sex and body mass index) and disease-related characteristics (disease activity, spinal mobility, functional status, quality of life, health status, emotional status, and kinesiophobia). Eligible participants were asked to complete the EBSS and other outcome measurements during their initial visits. EBBS was readministered 7 to 14 days later.
Results: One hundred forty-eight patients (89 males, 59 females; mean age: 44.3±11.8 years; range, 19 to 65 years) were included in the study. Of the patients, 108 had radiographic axSpA, and 40 had nonradiographic axSpA. EBBS-Barriers and EBBS-Benefits subscales demonstrated adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas of 0.82 and 0.95, respectively) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.837 and 0.807, respectively). No significant differences were observed between axSpA subtypes regarding EBBS-Barriers (p=0.12) and EBBS-Benefits (p=0.10) subscales. Significant relationships were detected between kinesiophobia and EBBS-Barriers scores (r=–0.424, p<0.01), as well as EBBS-Benefits scores (r=–0.344, p<0.01) for all patients. EBBS-Benefits scores were correlated to health status (r=–0.412, p=0.08) and quality of life (r=–0.394, p=0.01) in patients with nonradiographic axSpA.
Conclusion: According to our results, the Turkish EBBS is a valid and reliable tool for patients with axSpA. Perceptions of the patients with axSpA regarding exercise barriers and benefits do not differ according to the disease subtype. It appears that kinesiophobia may be an important parameter regarding exercise perception in axSpA.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan permasalahan pemasangan alat peraga kampanye (APK) pada pemilihan kepala daerah ditinjau berdasarkan hak-hak lingkungan hidup. Maraknya pemasangan APK di pohon berakibat pada terganggunya stabilitas kelestarian lingkungan hidup manusia dan melanggar hak lingkungan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah doktrinal dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan, kasus, dan komparatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemasangan alat peraga dalam kontestasi Pemilu tahun 2024 telah memberikan warna buruk terhadap lingkungan dan dikhawatirkan akan berlangsung hingga Pilkada pada November 2024. Pada saat ini, mekanisme pemasangan APK di Indonesia belum diatur tegas dalam UU Pilkada dan aturan turunannya. Jika dianalisis, Pasal 30 ayat (9) PKPU 11/2020 tentang Kampanye tidak melarang menempatkan APK di pepohonan. Larangan penggunaan pohon hanya ditetapkan terhadap atribut berupa bahan kampanye jenis stiker. Permasalahan ini juga diperparah dengan sanksi yang tidak tegas terhadap pelaku pelanggaran kampanye saat ini. Akibatnya para calon yang mengikuti Pilkada kerap melakukan pelanggaran kampanye, termasuk penempatan APK yang tidak tepat. Jika dianalisis dengan studi komparatif, pengaturan perihal larangan pemasangan APK telah diatur tegas beserta sanksinya. Diperlukannya reformulasi hukum terkait pemasangan APK dan mempertegas sanksi pelanggaran terkait dengan lingkungan hidup. Melalui konstruksi hukum tersebut, kampanye dapat berlangsung berlandaskan prinsip environmental ethics sebagaimana yang tertuang dalam UU Lingkungan Hidup.

The article discusses the methods and tools of regional development based on the infrastructural approach. The author suggests using infrastructure projects as a key tool to stimulate economic growth and increase the competitiveness of regions. The fundamental differences between the methods of regional infrastructure development and the tools of regional infrastructure development are considered. Regional infrastructure development methodologies are usually systematic approaches to planning and implementing infrastructure projects in a particular region. Tools for regional infrastructure development are specific tools, methods and mechanisms that are used to implement methodologies and achieve set goals. The infrastructural approach to development implies the creation and modernization of transport, communication, energy and other types of infrastructure, which contributes to improving the standard of living of the population, business development and improvement of the investment climate. Important elements of the infrastructural approach to regional development are the construction of new roads, railways, airports, the creation of digital infrastructure, the development of education and health care, as well as the creation of new jobs and access to financial services. Such measures can help to increase the competitiveness of the region, attract investment and create a favorable environment for living and working.

A justiça procedimental e alocação de recursos para a saúde em Norman Daniels
Authors: Chaves Igor Tavares , Werle Denilson Luís 
Published: August 2024

O objetivo do artigo é apresentar e discutir o modelo de justiça procedimental proposto por Norman Daniels e James Sabin denominado “Responsabilidade por Painel de Razoabilidade”. O modelo propõe quatro condições para que os procedimentos de alocação de recursos possam ser considerados justos: condição de publicidade, condição de relevância, condição de revisão e apelo e condição de regulação. Pretende-se analisar se são necessárias e suficientes para justificar processos de tomada de decisão que envolvem alocação de recursos escassos. Serão apresentadas algumas críticas à legitimidade do modelo em uma sociedade democrática justa: seu caráter pouco participativo; o risco de decisões tecnocráticas, a falta de transparência ou meios adequados para interferir e sugerir mudanças no processo, além da falta de acordo moral, principalmente para aquelas questões que envolvem risco de vida. Defendemos que o modelo de justiça procedimental, com os ajustes necessários, é uma possibilidade atrativa para problemas de justiça alocativa em sociedades democráticas.
Discriminação contra deficientes e protocolos de alocação de recursos escassos na pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Silva Fernando Maurício da 
Published: August 2024

Será investigada a relação possível entre discriminação contra deficientes e protocolos de alocação de recursos escassos na pandemia de COVID-19. O problema específico diz respeito à acusação de discriminação contra o deficiente no uso do ECOG no protocolo da AMIB. O ponto de partida será uma breve descrição fenomenológica sobre os limites do ECOG em comparação a outros métodos de avaliação. Em seguida, discute-se a concepção biomédica de deficiência e as dificuldades que esta implica para os modelos de justiça. Então se destaca os problemas nos próprios conceitos de funcionalidade e recursos, além da relação entre funcionalidade e fragilidade. A partir disso torna-se possível considerar a relação entre discriminação estatística justificada e igualdade formal de oportunidades. Isso implicará a análise da relação entre justiça relacional e distributiva, sobre como o deficiente é entendido como um mau usuário ex ante de recursos de saúde. Conclui-se esclarecendo como a injustiça epistêmica é uma questão central.
Kant e o teste de vacinas experimentais em seres humanos
Authors: Borges Maria de Lourdes 
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo, analisarei a posição kantiana sobre a vacinação da varíola e discutirei as questões morais relativas aos testes de vacinas em seres humanos. A vacinação da varíola na época de Kant foi uma nova forma de combater a doença que matou milhares de pessoas na Europa. Como sua segurança não foi comprovada definitivamente, pode-se considerá-la uma vacina experimental. Kant se pergunta se se deve tomar a vacina ou não. Kant não dá uma resposta definitiva à pergunta, mas se refere a ela na Metafísica dos Costumes (MS, AA 6:424). A partir do exemplo de Kant, tentarei formular as questões morais envolvidas no teste de vacinas experimentais em seres humanos. Vou tentar responder às perguntas: Quando uma vacina experimental deve ser testada em seres humanos? Existe o dever de tomar uma vacina experimental para ajudar a humanidade? E o último- mas não menos importante: é moralmente aceitável o pagamento para pessoas que se submetem a tomar medicação ou vacina experimentais? Tentarei responder a essas questões a partir da teoria moral kantiana.
