Dosimetric impact of rotational set-up errors in high-risk prostate cancer
Authors: Poncyljusz Maria , Bulski Wojciech 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Introduction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides an excellent solution to quantitative assessment and correction of patient set-up errors during radiotherapy. However, most linear accelerators are equipped with conventional therapy tables that can be moved in three translational directions and perform only yaw rotation. Uncorrected roll and pitch result in rotational set-up errors, particularly when the distance from the isocenter to the target border is large. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of rotational errors on the dose delivered to the clinical target volume (CTV), the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OAR).

Material and methods: 30 patients with prostate cancer treated with VMAT technique had daily CBCT scans (840 CBCTs in total) prior to treatment delivery. The rotational errors remaining after on-line correction were retrospectively analysed. The sum plans simulating the dose distribution during the treatment course were calculated for selected patients with significant rotational errors.

Results: The dose delivered to the prostate bed CTV reported in the sum plan was not lower than in the original plan for all selected patients. For four patients from the selected group, the D98% for prostate bed PTV was less than 95%. The V47.88Gy for pelvic lymph nodes PTV was less than 98% for two of the selected patients.

Conclusions: The analysis of the dosimetric parameters showed that the impact of uncorrected rotations is not clinically significant in terms of the dose delivered to OAR and the dose coverage of CTV. However, the PTV dose coverage is correlated with distance away from the isocenter and is smaller than planned.
Online and active learning design in large-size classes: a phenomenological study
Authors: Malusà Giovanna , Ghislandi Patrizia 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper presents a qualitative–quantitative study that investigates whether an active and collaborative design can help university students positively evaluate the course, even in a large-size online class for special ed teachers.
The analysis of the collected data (a fact-finding questionnaire created on purpose; a standard questionnaire for the course evaluation; field notes, design documentation; a class climate analysis questionnaire; an individual opinion poll about the educational activities; in-chat reflections of trainees) clearly testifies that trainees greatly appreciated the active and collaborative design. Some of the students hoped to be able to repeat a similar instructional design in their own classes, even though they underlined that this type of design often requires much more commitment, for the student and the teacher, than what is foreseen by the recognised credits.
The results that can be achieved, in terms of Students’ Evaluation of Teaching (SET), are relevant if the teacher is properly trained to the introduction of pedagogical innovation, as also recalled by the European Union.
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on students’ spelling ability
Authors: Rzepka Nathalie , Simbeck Katharina , Müller Hans-Georg 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In order to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, many schools have been closed for several months as of March 2020 in Germany. The unplanned and rapid shift to distance learning formats has led to fears that extensive learning deficits will be created and educational inequality will be further exacerbated. This paper, therefore, investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on spelling skills (capitalisation, sounds and letters, separate and compound spelling and punctuation) of students in German-speaking countries. For this purpose, we use granular learning process data from an online learning platform for spelling competences with over 1 million solved exercise sets. We compare successful completion of exercise sets before the pandemic and after the first wave of the pandemic and estimate personal competence by a Rasch model. The result shows a loss of competence in 2020 and an increase in inequality in some grade levels and spelling domains. A linear model cannot confirm an overarching loss of competence.

Authors: Houdyshell Michael , Wang Charles Xiaoxue , Plescia Matthew 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
As the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most face-to-face instructions and services in higher education, universities struggled to continue teaching and serving students. In particular, student services like academic advising were significantly impacted, as most advising is conducted in person. The use of synchronous communication technology was suddenly increased to continue advising students, employing Remote Academic Advising (RAA). Three researchers at a state university in the southeast USA conducted a case study to understand the experiences of using RAA by academic advisors. The study included 11 academic advisors from different academic colleges and areas who were engaged in RAA to provide advising service to students during the 2020–2021 academic year. Four themes emerged after a reiterative process of coding and analysing the interview responses. The four themes were a slow transition to using RAA, RAA can also be relational, RAA can promote more awareness of mental health and RAA should be part of regular advising practice. The discussion section includes recommendations for advancing RAA as regular practice through a concerted effort of promotion, leadership and effective use of RAA with synchronous communication technology among the advising community on campus.
Novice elementary teachers’ pedagogical journey in far-flung schools in the time of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Hipolito Mark Floricar G. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the experiences of novice elementary teachers assigned in far-flung schools in the time of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, anchoring on reflective practice using Kolb’s (2015) experiential learning theory. As a strategy to understand the experiences of novice teachers, the researcher employed mini-virtual ethnography by interviewing four novice elementary teachers teaching in schools located in mountainous areas. The data gathered were analysed using thematic analysis. Recorded interviews were transcribed, coded and sorted to identify the different themes. The study revealed that teachers experienced challenging and fulfilling encounters on their journey. To cope with the challenges brought by the pandemic, the teachers found means to ensure that education continued amidst the crisis, with the help of various stakeholders. Out of their experiences, teachers gained a lot of realisations and aspirations for their students, parents and self. They have seen that what they went through will help them become stronger, and there is still hope despite what is happening. By engaging in reflective practice, teachers were able to think and reflect on their experiences, learn from the experience, plan for a change and improve their learning and instructional practices.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Since March 2020, we have witnessed a movement of great power: research centres, organisations, publishers, scientific societies, groups and associations have become more engaged, creating networks to promote learning for teachers and schools through digital environments. The contribution tries to think about the digital solidarity initiatives built by Research Centre on Media Education, Innovation and Technologies (CREMIT): a series of webinars for schools, a special free issue of the magazine EaS, the challenge (#distantimaunitiperlascuola). Can we read these initiatives as a third space? The contribution tries to think about these questions, starting from the analysis of some data belonging to communication: the analytics of the social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), analysis of the posts collected in the social channels around to the initiatives promoted and analysis of the questions collected during the 13 webinars delivered.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Research data produced within the CARIPLO IMAP and Perform Water 2030 projects were processed using the SimaPro software to carry out the Life Cycle Assessment according to ISO 14040-44 of an innovative process of treated effluents’ polishing. The study aims to evaluate the integration of a microalgae culture as a side-stream process into the baseline layout of a wastewater treatment plant to remove nitrogen from the supernatant of sludge centrifugation from an environmental perspective. In particular, the investigated system focuses on using the algal biomass produced as an organic matrix for encapsulating zero-valent iron nanoparticles to be used for the final refinement of the effluent. Zero-valent iron (ZVI) is a reactive metal and an effective reducing agent. It can be used to remove organic and inorganic pollutants (e.g., chlorinated organics, pharmaceuticals, metals, textile dyestuffs). The encapsulation of ZVI by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) in a carbonaceous matrix allows for overcoming the problems related to its lack of stability, easy aggregation, and difficulty in separating the ZVI nanoparticles from the treated solution. The case study refers to Bresso wastewater treatment plant (Milan province, Northern Italy). The environmental performances of the study were assessed following the Life Cycle Impact Assessment methods IMPACT 2002+. According to the results, the new process integration does not affect the environmental performance of the WWTP, still implying a significant improvement in the removal of metals and micropollutants. In fact, due to the ability of ZVI nanoparticles to remove organic and inorganic pollutants, the outflowing load will be significantly reduced, which will improve the environmental performance of the entire Bresso wastewater treatment plant.

Abstract. The present article aims to identify useful tips derived from an action research experience in teaching culture with films in an online high school class. To achieve this objective, an action research methodology was developed, in this sense, lesson plans were designed and implemented over four weeks through an academic intervention in first year high school students belonging to the "Luis Fernando Ruiz" Educational Unit. The data were obtained through some instruments applied, which included a teacher's reflection form, a peer observer´s table and a survey to students to obtain their comments. As a result, analysis of the data suggested some useful tips to teach culture with films in an online high school class, such as: a) Give clear instructions; b) Consider the length of the films; c) Use didactic material to attract students’ attention; d) Motivate students; e) Select online tools carefully; f) Give enough time to complete activities, g) Analyze student’s connectivity; h) Take into account the time; i) Promote students’ participation; and, j) Provide some feedback. However, there were some limitations, which were related to number of classes taught to students, number of students who attended classes, and those students who completed the survey. From these results, it is concluded that the use of films in teaching English contributes to students´ cultural knowledge and reinforces language learning. By integrating all these tips in the teaching process, it is possible to teach culture to students in a motivating way, permitting to achieve the lesson objectives about improving cultural knowledge.

What Does the Anthropocene Hold for Citizenship?
Authors: Wallenhorst Nathanaël 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Citizenship-Perspektiven des Anthropozäns
In diesem Beitrag wird die unumkehrbare Zerstörung des Systems der Erde durch menschliche Aktivitäten diskutiert. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass in diesem Zusammenhang ein Paradigmenwechsel dringend erforderlich ist. Daher wird nach einem Modell der Staatsbürgerschaft gesucht, das als Grundlage für einen neuen Ansatz der politischen Bildung im Anthropozän dienen könnte. Beginnend mit einer Diskussion der These von Daniel Curnier über die Vermittlung von Staatsbürgerschaft durch Bildung, die sich kritisch mit dem Neoliberalismus im Schulsystem auseinandersetzt, wird anschließend Christian Arnspergers Idee des existentiellen Bürgers untersucht. Diese beiden Theorien beleuchten eine Diskussion über das Denken von Andreas Weber, in dem der Zusammenhang zwischen Menschen und Nichtmenschen beleuchtet wird. Auf dieser Grundlage wird die Idee einer ›konvivialistischen Staatsbürgerschaft‹ vorgeschlagen, die durch die Koexistenz mit den Nichtmenschen, mit denen wir unseren Planeten teilen, gekennzeichnet ist.
