Trincas longitudinais longas em pavimentos assentes sobre solos expansivos no município de Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Pernambuco, Brasil
Authors: Coutinho Roberto Quental , Silva Betânia Queiroz da , Maia Ivana Gomes , Cavalcante Fabiano Pereira 
Published: July 2024

A ocorrência de solos expansivos, sobre os quais diversas estruturas de Engenharia podem ser assentadas e, consequentemente, podem apresentar danos estruturais sérios é um problema constante no nordeste brasileiro. Problemas com estes solos são comuns globalmente e podem causar grandes danos. Os trincamentos constituem o fator preponderante para queda de desempenho dos pavimentos asfálticos nacionais. As trincas podem ser decorrentes da aplicação de cargas repetidas, efeitos climáticos, dosagem inadequada, não compatibilidade das deformabilidades das camadas etc. Trincas longitudinais em pavimentos sobre solos expansivos resultam das tensões de tração induzidas pela flexão do pavimento durante as secas. Estudos geotécnicos mostram que a camada de sub-base e as camadas de material selecionado apresentaram altos valores de expansão e grau de contração, indicando a origem das trincas. A pesquisa foca no comportamento expansivo dos solos em rodovias de Cabo de Santo Agostinho/PE, Brasil, utilizando análises geoespaciais e geotécnicas. Solos expansivos contêm minerais como montmorilonita e vermiculita, que absorvem água, expandem e causam tensões. O potencial expansivo se manifesta com variações de umidade, afetando a durabilidade das obras. Para averiguar a gênese do problema foram realizados ensaios de caracterização, mineralogia, retroanálise e poços de inspeção. Os estudos indicaram que as trincas são oriundas da camada de aterro do pavimento. A técnica de geoprocessamento foi utilizada, através de ferramentas de Sistema de Informação Geográfica – SIG, para planejar, monitorar, organizar, compatibilizar e sobrepor dados de pedologia, geologia e geomorfologia, com a localização das trincas na rodovia, ajudando na gestão eficiente de dados geológicos e geotécnicos. Estudos de caso na rodovia PE-09 confirmaram que trincas prematuras se originam da camada de sub-base devido à presença de minerais expansivos. Análises geotécnicas e estruturais, como o uso do FWD para medir a capacidade estrutural dos pavimentos, confirmaram a associação entre os defeitos observados e as características mineralógicas dos materiais. A integração de dados geotécnicos em ambiente SIG contribui para uma gestão mais eficaz e segura das obras sobre solos expansivos.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze Al-Jazeera's contribution on the dynamics of the internal conflict in Syria. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive method with Nicholas Onuf's constructivism approach. Researchers collected primary data by interviewing a number of relevant informants and secondary data through documentation studies, archival, document-based research, and internet-based research. This study found that the media not only functions as a monitor, but can also be used as a driving force by state actors. In addition, it was found that there were actions taken by al - Jazeera as an agent and information service provider which encourages the Syrian people to move and ultimately stimulates the internal conflict between the Syrian regime and the Syrian people. This study has limitation in concern to the dynamics of the conflict in the Middle East extensively, which also participate to provide settings to the internal conflict in Syria. However, this study is able to contribute to the development of the repertoire of International Relations Studies, especially in the understanding of the contribution of global media to the socio-political dynamics of a country.
Navigating Knowledge
Authors: Rugg Gordon , Lemes de Oliveira Thiago , Arancibia Valentina , Koole Marguerite , Traxler John 
Published: July 2024

In this workshop, we will demonstrate four research tools: 1) card sorting, 2) upward laddering, 3) think-aloud, and 4) a search visualizer. Card sorting can be useful as an exploratory knowledge modelling method to gain insight into people’s understanding of their surrounding world. Derived from Kelly’s Personal Construct Theory (PCT) (Kelly, 1955, Herd, 2001), card sorting can help to explore peoples’ constructs and their perceptions of how the constructs relate to each other; in other words, card sorting can help to elucidate mental frameworks. Although there are many kinds of card sorting, we will guide participants through a hands-on exercise using single-criterion card sorting (using both digital and in person techniques). Participants will learn about text-based, image-based, and object-based options, when to use card sorting, how to collect data, and how to analyse card sorting data through visual-numeric ‘heat maps’ (co-occurrence matrices). The card sorting exercise will lead into upward laddering, a technique that is often used to complement card sorting. While card sorting provides evidence of how constructs are related, upward laddering allows exploration into goals and values (Rugg & Gerrard, 2023). Workshop participants will have an opportunity to access a simple, robust, newly created online tool for upward laddering. Also used alongside card sorting is the think-aloud method which involves both observation to see how people perform a task and think-aloud to hear what people are thinking and noticing while they perform the task. This inexpensive, easy-to-use method allows researchers to tap into reasons and tacit knowledge. The fourth tool we will demonstrate is a newly launched search visualiser (SV). Using keywords, this search tool allows researchers to comb through specific databases and/or to access Google results. Rather than simply return a list of links to articles, the SV returns a visual depiction of the keywords within each text. Each key word is represented as a coloured square. A user can hover their mouse pointer over a given square to see the phrase within which the word appears. Using this tool, researchers can get a better, visual sense of whether the article is likely to offer useful content. There is now a version with audio for visually impaired users as well as a version that can explore synonyms to support textual-literary analysis.
Academic Integrity Pledges -- Acculturating Students to Integrity within Canadian Higher Education
Authors: Miron Jennie , Fenning Krisstine 
Published: July 2024

Academic integrity, and its associated values, are an essential aspect of cultures that provide a foundation for conduct and behaviour of all members within higher education. Establishing such cultures support the quality of student learning as well as their ethical deportment within their programs of study. The merits of acculturating students within academic integrity has implications for their performance and commitment to similar conduct and behaviours in their chosen professional fields as positive, ethical, and caring professionals benefitting all who receive their care and service. Creating and sustaining such learning cultures requires a multifaceted approach and an understanding and appreciation for the complexity of nurturing such environments. Academic integrity pledges situated across the learning trajectory at meaningful times during students' developmental paths, serve as one strategy that can be effective to academic integrity efforts. How one School of Health Sciences has approached and realized academic integrity pledges are discussed, and may serve as an example for others. The successes and opportunities for future development are outlined and reviewed.
Pay-to-Pass: Emerging On-Line Services that are Undermining the Integrity of Student Work
Authors: Kurz Ebba U. , Chibry Nancy 
Published: July 2024

Students have been connected digitally from an early age and have been encouraged throughout their educational journey to turn to the internet for information. However, less emphasis is typically placed on educating students about the origin and appropriateness of these sources. For many post-secondary students, it can be challenging to distinguish between resources that are supportive of their academic development and resources that are undermining and questionable in their veracity. In this workshop, we discuss the emergence and infiltration of pay-to-pass websites in the Canadian post-secondary setting. We differentiate pay-to-pass websites from other forms of contract cheating by describing them as sites encouraging students to share and access course material, assignments, tests, and notes for academic and personal gain. These sites are alluring to students because they commonly offer real-time support from academic 'experts' or tutors that is available 24/7. In the rapid shift to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have acutely observed the impact of these services on student behaviour in online-based assessments. This workshop examines the growing scope and deepening impact of these sites on teaching and learning in the post-secondary context. To address the challenges posed by these websites, we present a three-part approach that may be implemented in the efforts to uphold academic integrity in post-secondary education.
Shifting the Stories around Academic Integrity: How Critically Reflective Educators Create Empowered Student Learning
Authors: Barr Lauren 
Published: July 2024

Research shows that the underlying attitudes of educators not only influence instruction but also impact student outcomes themselves. As we begin to reflect on what the past year has taught us, we want to consider how we as educators can challenge our own attitudes around academic misconduct and empower our students to take ownership of their education.
In this session, we will look at the ways in which your inherent biases about student integrity could be surfacing in your online and onboard classroom. We will consider practical shifts in the way you teach and provide feedback in order to influence student outcomes in meaningful ways. You will leave this session with applied evidence-based ideas for improved learning design by incorporating some of Turnitin’s new capabilities into the assessment workflow.
Pre-Service Teachers Beliefs about Plagiarism: An Attribution Theory Lens
Authors: Goegan Lauren , Daniels Lia M. 
Published: July 2024

There is a growing body of research examining why students engage in plagiarism, and what they know about plagiarism, but little of this research is conducted from a theoretical perspective. Moreover, the perspectives of preservice teachers are important to investigate as they have been described as the “future gatekeepers of academic integrity” (Fontaine et al., 2020). Therefore, the purpose of this study was twofold. First, to examine the opinions of preservice teachers in terms of what constitutes plagiarism. Second, following the principles of Attribution Theory, to investigate how the controllability (e.g., intentional, or accidental plagiarism) of the act of plagiarism impacted participants' beliefs concerning (a) responsibility, (b) emotions, (c) help-giving, and (d) reporting. We used a within-person repeated measures design with three levels of controllability manipulated through hypothetical scenarios of plagiarism to collect data from 201 pre-service teachers. Overall, preservice teachers had strong opinions about plagiarism (e.g., It is always wrong to plagiarize). Moreover, when scenarios included students who engaged in plagiarism that was controllable, participants were more likely to perceive the student as responsible, felt anger towards them, support punishment, and recommend reporting the student, than when the act of plagiarism was not seen as controllable. We provide recommendations for instructors and administrators for supporting students. Moreover, the results and recommendations here will be used to foster discussion about the controllability of cheating and the associated cognitions, emotions, and actions. This conversation will address fostering a culture of academic integrity from a theoretical perspective to support faculty and students.
Educating College Students on Academic Integrity: What Roles do Teachers Play in the Quebec Province?
Authors: Déri Catherine E. 
Published: July 2024

Over the past 15 years, there has been a shift from detecting and sanctioning academic misconduct to preventing and promoting desired academic practices (Ferguson et al., 2007). According to Gray and Jordan (2012), teachers represent an influential figure to enhance students’ understanding of academic standards. However, a study conducted by Löfström et al. (2014) reveals that educators do not share the same perspectives on how academic integrity should be taught and whose responsibility it is to teach it. Moreover, Peters et al. (2019) developed a conceptual framework illustrating seven roles adopted by educators when teaching academic integrity, with each end of the spectrum identified as acting as “Ambassador” to being completely “Detached” (p. 6). These two teams of scholars examined the teaching of academic integrity at the university level, but little is known about how this is taught at the college level. This is why we explored the situation in seven colleges[1] across the province of Quebec in Canada. During our communication, we will present results from semi-structured interviews with 17 college teachers. A discussion will follow on winning strategies utilized by college teachers for promoting academic integrity among the student population. Finally, we will recommend further avenues of exploration in the domain of teaching and learning at institutions of higher education to foster a culture of academic integrity.

[1] In the Quebec province, colleges are called cégep (collège d’enseignement general et professionnel) to prepare students for university studies or provide them with technical skills to enter the labour market.
Heterogeneidade pluviométrica e previsão dos preços da cesta básica de Fortaleza
Authors: Paiva Elizama Cavalcante de , Lemos José de Jesus Sousa , Reis José Newton Pires , Sousa Erika Costa 
Published: July 2024

Este estudo analisou o comportamento do preço da cesta básica em Fortaleza de julho/1994 a julho/2023, além de verificar a hipótese da influência da precipitação pluviométrica no valor da cesta básica. Os dados mensais de precipitação foram obtidos junto à Fundação Cearense de Meteorologia e Recursos Hídricos (FUNCEME). As séries de preços e salários mínimos foram obtidas junto ao Departamento Intersindical de Estatística e Estudos Socioeconômicos (DIEESE). Os valores foram indexados pelo INPC do IBGE e convertidos para o dólar de 31 de agosto de 2023. Foram estimados os valores médios, os coeficientes de variação e as taxas geométricas de crescimento do salário mínimo, do preço médio dos alimentos básicos e da precipitação pluviométrica. Um modelo ARIMA (1,1,3) de média móvel autoregressiva integrada foi ajustado para captar a trajetória e prever os preços da cesta básica. Verificou-se que os valores eram influenciados pela precipitação durante o período. Os resultados mostraram que o ajuste do modelo é adequado para prever o preço da cesta básica em Fortaleza. Exibiram também que o crescimento dos reajustes anuais do salário mínimo, em geral, manteve poder de compra dessa variável. A pesquisa inferiu que os preços da cesta básica evoluíram a uma taxa menor do que a evolução do salário mínimo no período analisado. A pesquisa também mostrou que as pluviometrias acumuladas nos primeiros semestres, são bem maiores do que as observadas nos segundos semestres. Contudo, os preços das cestas básicas são maiores, no primeiro semestre, do que os observados nos segundos semestres.

O uso de pesticidas tem crescido cada vez mais devido ao aumento populacional constante no mundo e o consequente aumento da necessidade de se obter mais alimentos. Entretanto, o uso de tais substâncias possui aspectos claros de toxicidade a organismos vivos, inclusive aos próprios humanos. Assim, a exposição aos agrotóxicos tem se mostrado um importante fator de risco na geração de diversos problemas para a saúde humana, como as doenças crônicas. Objetivos: Estabelecer uma análise acerca do desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas relacionadas à exposição à agrotóxicos tanto em um âmbito global quanto nacional, estabelecendo uma análise comparativa entre essas duas dimensões. Ademais, tem-se por objetivo a observação dos principais agrotóxicos utilizados e suas possíveis implicações na saúde pública. Métodos: Foi-se utilizado um método revisional e comparativo, o qual aborda, também, aspectos descritivos e analíticos, de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa. Resultados: Obteve-se uma vasta análise pregressa acerca da relação entre doenças crônicas e a exposição à agrotóxicos, observando uma direta relação entre eles. Conclusões: Evidencia-se a associação positiva entre a exposição aos agrotóxicos e o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas. Encontrou-se semelhanças entre o contexto global e nacional, acerca das diferentes toxicidades relacionadas aos pesticidas e a incidência de doenças crônicas, como cânceres, doenças pulmonares e tireoidianas.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to determine whether there is an influence of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) instructional model on the mathematical problem-solving abilities of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Pematang Siantar. The study employs a quantitative method, specifically a one-shot case study design. The population consists of all seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Pematang Siantar for the academic year 2023/2024, totaling 288 students. Cluster Random Sampling was used to select a sample, and one class, namely VII-1, was chosen for the study, resulting in a total sample size of 30 students. Data were obtained through a questionnaire measuring students' perceptions of the Problem Based Learning model and a mathematics problem-solving ability test for seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Pematang Siantar. The instruments utilized included 12 closed-ended statement questionnaires with Likert scale measurements and 5 mathematics problem-solving ability test questions. Following calculations, the conclusion drawn from the simple linear regression analysis with the equation Y’ = a + bX = 27.228 + 0.234X is that the calculated t-value (4.196) exceeds the critical t-value (2.042) at a significance level of 0.00 < 0.05. Consequently, the null hypothesis H0 is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis H is accepted. The influence of the Problem Based Learning instructional model on the mathematical problem-solving abilities of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Pematang Siantar is 38.6%. This implies that the Problem Based Learning model can affect students' mathematical problem-solving abilities by 38.6%, while the remaining 61.4% can be influenced by other factors
Kirill Volkov: "Some intonations or folk themes determined the main mood of a whole segment of my life..." (interview with the composer)
Authors: Burlakov Mikhail ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The interview with the National Artist of Russia, laureate of the Glinka State Prize K. E. Volkov was prepared by associate professor of Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, M. S. Burlakov, for the composer’s anniversary. Being a concert soloist, the author of this paper has been the performer of most of Volkov’s compositions for the accordion, some of them were performed for the first time. The interview touches on the topics of the musician’s personal attitude to the creative process and modern music, artistic guidelines of the composer’s creative worldview, as well as questions of the intonational origins of his compositions. The author pays special attention to the composer’s accordion work, believing that it reflects themes, images and ideas presented in other genres of Volkov’s music. An attempt is made to present to a wide range of readers a part of Volkov’s artistic world in the word from the first person: to reveal the nuances of the dramaturgy of compositions for the accordion, to identify individual features of writing, as well as to identify some programmatic parallels with the literary sources on which this music was created, its connections with personalities and events of national history that are important for the composer
"Time scale" in the realm of musical culture
Authors: Romashchuk Inna ,   M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov State Musical Pedagogical Institute
Published: July 2024

The article explores the phenomenon of "time scale" in relation to the new scientific work of the Russian composer Czo Zhenguan "Musical Culture of China: Essays" (2023). The connection between this work and his research on the history of Russo-Chinese musical connections "Russian Musicians in China" (2014) is emphasized. Together, they represent a "double portrait" of the musical culture of the Celestial Empire, with its national genres, the musical-theoretical system of lü, traditional instruments, creative collectives, educational institutions, composers and performers, as well as the influence of foreign (European and Soviet) masters of musical art who brought the experience of their countries. It is noted that both monographs are distinguished by their fundamental nature, broad coverage of phenomena in musical culture, and excellent literary style, which allows us to speak of them as "scientific works" (T. I. Naumenko) deserving serious attention.
