Published: July 2024

Las últimas investigaciones en el área de la psicología cognitiva, la neuroeducación y la pedagogía reconocen la importancia de la estimulación temprana y la educación de calidad en los niños pequeños para un mejor desarrollo cognitivo posterior. La evaluación temprana permite identificar habilidades y competencias para un adecuado inicio escolar. La observación de los precursores del aprendizaje ayuda en la prevención tanto en la práctica educativa como en la tarea clínica. En este contexto una correcta evaluación permite: ofrecer instrucción adecuada a las necesidades individuales de los alumnos, tomar decisiones basadas en datos objetivos que puedan estandarizarse, detectar e intervenir tempranamente a los alumnos en situación de riesgo en los aprendizajes instrumentales básicos: lectura, escritura y cálculo. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una batería en formato digital, Evaluación de Competencias para el Inicio Escolar (Batería CIE) para evaluar las competencias cognitivas básicas para el inicio escolar a través de pruebas predictoras del desempeño académico. La presentación, la evaluación y el procesamiento final de los datos se realiza en forma digitalizada. Es aplicable a fines del Nivel Inicial o principios de Nivel Primario. Se inspira en modelos teóricos consolidados: la hipótesis fonológica, el modelo simple de lectura, el modelo de Repuesta a la Intervención (RTI) y las últimas investigaciones de las neurociencias acerca de los precursores del conocimiento matemático y lingüístico. Se evaluó a 280 niños de 5 años de nivel socioeconómico medio y bajo del área metropolitana de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una buena fiabilidad y una alta validez de constructo de la prueba. Se configuraron valores normativos en cuartiles y puntos de corte. Los resultados en conjunto permiten sostener que la Batería CIE es una herramienta confiable para analizar las habilidades estrechamente vinculadas con el aprendizaje escolar. La aplicación de esta batería permitirió identificar niños en riesgo de presentar dificultades de aprendizaje de manera temprana, para poder intervenir lo más tempranamente posible. La utilización de las Nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (NTIC) acerca a las escuelas herramientas confiables y necesarias.
La metodologia SAPIENS entra a l'institut (projecte de recerca, 4t d'ESO)
Authors: Planas de Farnés Montse 
Published: July 2024

S’aposta per exportar, a l’àmbit educatiu, el projecte de la metodologia Sapiens de ElBulliFoundation (creat en el món culinari). Aquest aporta unes pautes, detallades i marcades (alhora flexibles i adaptables a les diferents situacions) que permeten iniciar-se a fer una investigació sobre un tema malgrat no ser un científic expert i no tenir una hipòtesi definida.
L’objectiu d’aquesta pràctica és provar Sapiens, com a metodologia que permet, a l’alumnat d’un grup de diversitat de 4t d’ESO, iniciar-se a fer una recerca científica. Proporcionar eines més pautades i recursos amb un nou enfoc per a fer anàlisis i estudis.
Es vol donar a conèixer aquest nou estil de recerca a l’equip docent, i fer-los-ho experimentar.
Seguint el currículum marcat per la Generalitat de Catalunya, els alumnes de 4ESO del grup de diversitat (Projecte singular- Conveni) han realitzat el Projecte de recerca dels oficis seguint aquesta nova estructura.
Es parteix d'una anàlisi qualitativa, holista, que assumeix una realitat dinàmica. Es treballa des d’un paradigma constructivista, partint de la lògica inductiva. S’observen i s’estudien els significats dels fets i els seus comportaments. Es vol entendre el context, les persones i les interaccions que s’hi donen.
A nivell general, la valoració ha estat molt bona des de tots els vessants: els alumnes han estat pautats i, en tot moment, sabien com podien avançar de manera autònoma sense demanar ajuda constant ni aprovació, no han necessitat atenció individualitzada. Han desenvolupat la seva recerca i la seva comunicació oral a final del procés seguint els passos que ofereix Sapiens.
A nivell docent ha estat qualificat com a sistema de treball eficaç i eficient, fàcilment extrapolable a diferents tasques i/o àmbits de treball.
L’experiència ha estat exitosa, emocionant i molt bonica. Ha permès aplicar el disseny universal d’aprenentatge (DUA), eliminant barreres d’accés i permetent una inclusió real de l’alumnat en la tasca. Tot l’alumnat del grup ha conegut en profunditat un ofici que havia existit i ha comprovat si ha continuat en el temps, potser reinventat? o bé s’ha perdut i ha quedat en el record.

Background
Indigenous populations globally have significantly high rates of type 2 diabetes compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. This study aims to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally and contextually informed Aboriginal Diabetes Workforce Training Program on Aboriginal primary health care workforce knowledge, attitude, confidence, skill and practice relating to diabetes care.

Methods
A Cluster Randomised Crossover Control Trial with two arms (Group A and Group B) will be conducted with Aboriginal primary health care services in South Australia. These services primarily provide primary health care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. All healthcare service sites will be randomised into groups A and B to receive the training program. The training program consists of three components: 1) Peer support network, 2) E-Learning modules and 3) onsite support. Aboriginal Health Workers of participating sites will be invited to participate in the monthly online peer support network and all chronic disease staff are eligible to participate in the E-Learning modules and onsite support. The Peer Support Network runs for the entirety of the study, 17 months. Training components 2 and 3 occur simultaneously and are 2.5 months in length, with a six-month washout period between the two randomised groups undertaking the training. All primary outcomes of the study relate to diabetes management in a primary health care settings and measure participants’ knowledge, attitude, confidence, practice and skills. These will be collected at seven time points across the entire study. Secondary outcomes measure satisfaction of the peer support network using a survey, interviews to understand enablers and barriers to participation, health service systems characteristics through focus groups, and medical record review to ascertain diabetes patients’ care received and their clinical outcomes up to 12 months post training intervention.

Discussion
The findings will explore the effectiveness of the training program on Aboriginal primary health care provider knowledge, attitude, confidence, skill and practice relating to diabetes care. The final findings will be published in 2027.

Trial registration
The study was prospectively registered in The Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR), with registration number ACTRN12623000749606 at ANZCTR - Registration. Universal Trial Number (UTN) U1111-1283-5257.
Non-linear association of liver enzymes with cognitive performance in the elderly: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Zhang Yan-Li , Jia Shi-Ying , Yang Bo , Miao Jie , Su Chen , Cui Zhi-Gang , Yang Li-Ming , Guo Jun-Hong 
Published: July 2024

Background
Although liver metabolic dysfunction has been found to potentially elevate susceptibility to cognitive impairment and dementia, there is still insufficient evidence to explore the non-linear association of liver enzymes with cognitive performance. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the non-linear relationship between liver enzymes and cognitive performance.

Methods
In this cross-sectional study, 2764 individuals aged ≥ 60 who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2014 were included. The primary data comprised liver enzyme levels (alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST/ALT ratio, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)), and cognitive performance was the major measured outcome. The associations were analyzed using weighted multivariate logistic regression, subgroup analysis, a generalized additive model, smooth fitting curves, and threshold effects.

Results
The results of the fully adjusted model indicated that ALP was negatively associated with the animal fluency test (AFT) score (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.11–1.98), whereas ALT demonstrated a positive association with the consortium to establish a registry for Alzheimer’s disease (CERAD) test score (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.53–0.97). Additionally, the AST/ALT ratio was negatively associated with the global cognitive test (OR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.53–3.73), CERAD (OR = 2.61, 95% CI: 1.77–3.84), and digit symbol substitution test (DSST) scores (OR = 2.51, 95% CI: 1.57–4.02). GGT was also negatively associated with the AFT score (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01–1.33) in unadjusted model. A non-linear relationship was observed between liver enzymes and the risk of cognitive impairment as assessed by the global cognitive test. Specifically, when ALP > 60 U/L, 0.77 < AST/ALT < 1.76, and 25 < GGT < 94 U/L, higher liver enzyme levels were significantly associated with an elevated cognitive impairment risk, while a lower cognitive impairment risk when ALT level was > 17 U/L.

Conclusions
There is a non-linear relationship between liver enzymes and cognitive performance, indicating that liver enzyme levels should be maintained within a certain level to mitigate the risk of cognitive impairment.
How migration shapes modern contraceptive use among urban young women: Evidence from six African countries
Authors: Pinchoff Jessie , Pike Isabel , Austrian Karen , Grace Kathryn , Kabiru Caroline 
Published: July 2024

Background
Internal migration is an important part of the transition to adulthood for many young people in sub-Saharan Africa. This study examines how migration, in relation to marriage and parenthood, impacts modern contraceptive use and health facility visits amongst young urban women.

Methods
We draw on Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) surveys conducted in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda (2019–2022). Our analysis is unique in being able to adjust for whether women wanted to get pregnant soon. Our sample includes women ages 15–24 years currently residing in urban areas (n = 6,225). We conducted logistic regression models clustered by village level identifier to explore the sequence of life events and the timing of migration in relation to current modern contraceptive use and recent health facility visit, a proxy for engagement with formal health services.

Results
The timing of migration matters more than the sequence of these life events. Young urban women who experienced both migration and a birth, regardless of the order, had increased contraceptive use and recent health facility visit, compared to women who had only experienced one event or neither. Young women who migrated in the past year had 24% lower odds of using a modern method (Odds Ratio = 0.76; 95% confidence interval 0.63, 0.91), adjusting for demographic factors and adjusting for fertility preference (Wanting to get pregnant soon). Having had a birth was highly significant for health facility visit and among women who had had a birth, those who migrated in the last year had lower odds of a recent visit (OR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.41, 0.89). Results suggest an initially disruptive effect of migration.

Discussion
Our results suggest young women who recently migrated to urban areas may need additional support in accessing contraception and formal health services for themselves or their children.
De objetivos universais a resultados locais: apontamentos para uma história da proteção regional aos direitos humanos
Authors: De Castro Alexander 
Published: July 2024

No presente artigo, aborda-se a evolução dos sistemas regionais de direitos humanos (interamericano, europeu e africano) na perspectiva da história transnacional (global history). Inicialmente influenciados pela dinâmica geopolítica da Guerra Fria, os sistemas regionais rapidamente se adaptaram às suas condições locais, desenvolvendo estratégias próprias de proteção e promoção dos direitos humanos. Os três sistemas regionais participaram de uma construção coletiva ligada à tradição ocidental de direitos humanos, mas evoluíram com contribuições multilaterais ao enfrentar desafios comuns e específicos, o que permitiu a ampliação da proteção para além das formas liberais tradicionais, incorporando uma agenda progressista e tutelando relações horizontais entre indivíduos (direitos da personalidade) no caso europeu e interamericano e direitos coletivistas no caso africano. O resultando é uma abordagem aos direitos humanos mais responsiva a condições culturais e sociais.

Published: July 2024

“Rawagambut” karya Conie Sema merupakan naskah lakon yang menarik untuk diteliti karena menggambarkan persoalan lingkungan yang krusial dan masih relevan hingga sekarang, yaitu pembukaan lahan perkebunan yang menimbulkan masalah-masalah lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memaparkan permasalahan ekologi dalam naskah lakon “Rawagambut” dan relevansinya dengan kebakaran hutan di Sumatera Selatan pada tahun 2015. “Rawagambut” akan dianalisis menggunakan teori ekokritik sastra. Ekokritik sastra mengkaji hubungan antara sastra dan lingkungan fisik. Secara lebih lanjut, teori yang digunakan adalah konsep ekokritik Greg Garrard. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa permasalahan ekologi dalam “Rawagambut” adalah degradasi lahan gambut, pencemaran udara, instabilitas tempat tinggal, ancaman bagi satwa liar, dan pemanasan global. Semua permasalahan ekologi tersebut disebabkan oleh peristiwa kebakaran hutan dan lahan yang dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena ekspansi perkebunan di kawasan Pantai Timur Sumatera. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan relevansi antara “Rawagambut” dengan peristiwa kebakaran hutan di Sumatera Selatan pada tahun 2015.
Balloonless spinning spindle head shape optimisation
Authors: Drobina Robert , Płonka Stanisław , Rysiński Jacek , Jarco Aleksandra 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The article presents a procedure for assessing and selecting the shape of the ring spinner spindle head that is optimum for yarn manufacturing using the balloonless system, considering multiple criteria. This procedure consists of two stages: the Pareto-optimal method and the distance function method. Twelve spindle head variants were designed and manufactured of 100Cr6 bearing steel composed of C (0.93–1.05%), Si (0.15–0.35%), Mn (0.25–0.45%) along with aluminium alloys EN AW-6060 (AlSi1MgMn) containing Si (0.70–1.3%), Mg (0.6–1.2%), Mn (0.4–1.0%) and EN AW-6060 (AlMgSi) containing Si (0.30–0.60%) and Mg (0.35–0.60%). The shapes of the heads were developed on the basis of the design solutions used previously by the leading ring-spinning machine and spinning spindle manufacturers. Four design variants of spindle heads, made of AlMgSi wrought aluminium alloy, have a unique shape that enables shaping their teeth (notches) by extrusion on a hydraulic press. The assessment criteria were production cost per unit, head weight, maximum surface hardness HV0.1, and four yarn technological quality criteria: maximum yarn tension values during the formation of the base, body and head of the package, and the tension amplitude. The assessment values for the criteria obtained through calculations and measurements were normalized. Then, a set of Pareto-optimal solutions was determined using seven criteria. Due to the fact that this set consisted of six variants, the distance function was used to select the best one. The best design variant of the head is the one corresponding to the lowest distance function value. In our case, the variant is a unique shape, made of AlMgSi alloy, with teeth thickened on the outer diameter of the head, ensuring the lowest yarn tension value at the height during the formation of the package.
Plants as Trans Ecologies: Artifice and Deformation in Bertrand Mandico’s The Wild Boys (2017)
Authors: Miller Audrey 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This essay explores how artifice and queer form in Bertrand Mandico’s film The Wild Boys (2017. Dir. Bertrand Mandico. Ecce Films) interrogate more-than-human entanglements to orient viewers toward a trans ecology. In Mandico’s botanical imaginary, he crafts a world of excessive artifice where both the characters and the land in which they inhabit are entirely mutable. By creating a polymorphously perverse world where there is no such thing as a hermetically sealed body, Mandico uses plants to explore the possibilities of transness and how it may provide a focus for epistemological positions, knowledge, and orientations toward a post-anthropocentric future.
Dialogues on nursing curriculum and pedagogy: a critical planning activity for global educational collaboration
Authors: García Daisy S. , Fricas Jennifer , Orellana S. Luisa P. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Purpose
We describe the experience of a collaborative, dialogical process on nursing pedagogy to identify the best process for creating a mutually beneficial international nursing education exchange.

Approach
Faculty from two universities in Sucre, Bolivia and in Seattle, Washington, US engaged in planned virtual dialogues to share their nursing curricula, course content, teaching methodologies, and contextual challenges and strengths.

Results
From the dialogues, a thematic analysis using a modified conventional content analysis approach was completed, and four themes emerged: 1) similarities in course content, pedagogy, and curricular challenges; 2) differences in teaching competencies; 3) teaching methodologies responsive to national trends; and 4) benefits from and alternatives to the use of educational technology. Early dialogues among participants allowed them to discern areas of need and interest for future planning.

Implications for International Audience
Intentional academic dialogues should be the first step to enter in an exchange program to enable participants from different hemispheres to contribute equally as partners in the formation of nurses able to respond the current global health concerns.

Authors: АНАШКИНА Е.А. , АНДРИАНОВ А.В. 
Published: July 2024

Теоретически исследованы лазеры различных классов мощности от десятков мкВт до десятков Вт на основе эффекта вынужденного комбинационного рассеяния (ВКР) света в волноводных элементах из теллуритных стёкол. Благодаря высокому коэффициенту ВКР-усиления и большому ВКР-сдвигу частоты, теллуритные стёкла являются перспективными материалами для развития лазерных источников на длине волны около 2,3 мкм при накачке на длине волны около 2 мкм. Проведено детальное численное моделирование ВКР-лазеров на основе односердцевинных и многосердцевинных специальных теллуритных волокон. Показано, что для оптимальных параметров эффективность преобразования мощности накачки в мощность ВКР-волны может превышать 50 %. Выполнено детальное моделирование маломощных ВКР-лазеров на основе высокодобротных микрорезонаторов, найдены оптимальные параметры и факторы, ограничивающие генерацию.
Lasers of various power classes from tens of µW to tens of W based on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect in waveguide elements made of tellurite glasses are studied. Due to the high SRS gain and large SRS frequency shift, tellurite glasses are promising materials for the development of laser sources at a wavelength of about 2.3 μm with a pump at a wavelength of about 2 μm, which was used in the work. A detailed numerical simulation of Raman lasers based on single-core and multicore special tellurite fibers is carried out. It is shown that the conversion efficiency of pump power to SRS wave power for optimal parameters can exceed 50%. Detailed modeling of low-power Raman lasers based on high-Q microresonators is performed; optimal parameters and factors limiting generation are found.

Экспериментально исследована работа созданной нами атмосферной установки для генерации квантового ключа, использующей протокол квантовой криптографии BB84 и поляризационное кодирование. Скорость генерации «просеянного» квантового ключа и уровень ошибочных битов в нём оставались постоянными в течение 1 ч и равнялись 7558 ± 83 бит/с и 5 , 1 ± 0 , 84 % соответственно при расстоянии между передатчиком и приёмником 20 м. Для приведённых параметров установки рассчитан минимально возможный коэффициент пропускания квантового канала, обеспечивающий секретность квантового ключа.
The operation of our atmospheric quantum cryptography setup using the BB84 protocol and polarization coding has been investigated experimentally. The "sifted" quantum key distribution rate and the quantum bit error rate in the key remain constant for 1 hour and are equal to 7558±83 bit/s and 5.1±0.84%, respectively, at a distance of 20 m between the transmitter and receiver. The minimum possible transmittance of a quantum channel is calculated for these parameters of our setup.
