DIGITAL TEACHER COMPETENCE DIMENSIONS: EXPERIENCES OF NORWEGIAN PRESERVICE TEACHERS
Authors: Meling Ådne 
Published: August 2022

<p>Most Norwegian preservice teachers are required to perform assignments relating to digital competence during their education. In this article, one such mandatory student assignment is used to explore students’ interpretations of digital teacher competence. In a study programme for future primary and lower secondary school teachers, second-year social studies students were required to develop digital teaching arrangements, apply these arrangements during their teaching practice, and finally share their experiences with their peers in online presentations. In the present study, these student presentations are used to examine how future teachers understand digital teacher competence, and a model consisting of five digital teacher dimensions is suggested. This way, the article aims to provide students and teacher educators with a conceptualisation of digital teacher competence.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0587/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Huynh Tham Kim Thi , Nguyen Huan Buu 
Published: August 2022

<p>Research into online instruction as an alternative to traditional teaching has indicated its role in facilitating student learning with the use of technology in times of COVID-19 pandemic. However, an intriguing question is how to conduct this mode of teaching English reading within the Vietnamese context. In Vietnam, little information has examined the challenges that high school teachers and students encountered in implementing online English reading classes to meet the needs and interests of the student and facilitate instructional practices. This study is therefore aimed to look into this area of interest. A mixed-methods study was used with fifty teachers and one hundred high school students. Data were collected from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings show that online instruction in reading classes challenged teachers and students to use technology, prepare lesson contents, and assess student comprehension. Implications are provided to teachers and students for the sake of the quality of online instruction.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0258/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: August 2022

<p>The current study investigated the validity of the Greek version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ-SF, seven days recall period, Craig et al., 2003). Specifically, criterion and construct validity were examined in a sample of 120 adults (<em>M</em> ± <em>SD</em> = 30.52 ± 14.87 years). In addition, factorial validity and internal consistency were examined in a second sample of 726 physically active adults (<em>M</em> ± <em>SD</em> = 38.80 ± 13.64 years). Further, associations were examined among the IPAQ-SF, exercise self-efficacy, body mass index and various socio-demographic variables. The statistical analyses indicated: (a) acceptable validity coefficients and factorial validity of the IPAQ, (b) acceptable internal consistency, (c) higher physical activity values in men compared to women and in athletes compared to non-athletes, (d) positive correlations between physical activity levels, exercise self-efficacy and past physical activity and (e) negative correlations among physical activity, age, number of children and body mass index. The Greek version of the IPAQ-SF was valid and therefore, could be useful for assessing physical activity.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0333/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Orton Spencer , Maggio Paul , DeBeliso Mark 
Published: August 2022

<p>The home team advantage has been extensively documented and studied in many team sports, especially men’s basketball leagues. In contrast, research that has examined the home court advantage in women’s basketball leagues could not be found. Therefore, this study was designed to answer the following questions: (1) is the home court advantage present in the woman’s national basketball association (WNBA)? (2) is there a relationship between crowd density and referee bias in favor of the home team in the national woman’s basketball league? (3) is there a relationship between crowd density and home team performance in the woman’s national basketball league? The study at hand employed a longitudinal study approach to examine 5 regular seasons (2015-2019) of 10 WNBA teams. Data for fan attendance, sport arena capacity, and box scores were collected from public domains. Statistical calculations and analysis were used to compare chosen box scores between the home team and away team. Similarly, chosen box scores were compared between home games that had a crowd density above 50% and home games that had a crowd density below 50%. The results of this study showed that the home court advantage was present in the woman’s national basketball league. In contrast to research studies that examined referee bias in men’s basketball leagues, the results of this study are conflicting and inconclusive. However, home games that had crowd density above 50% significantly outperformed home games that had crowed density below 50%, both offensively (p=0.003) and defensively (p=0.002).</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0337/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Mumba Dennis , Kasonde-Ngandu Sophie , Mandyata Joseph 
Published: August 2022

The academic performance of learners with hearing impairment has continued to decline far below their hearing counterparts. Comparison of academic performance in various subjects between pupils with hearing and non-hearing indicate that hearing impairment (HI), was lagging behind in schools. The study, therefore, explored perceptions held by teachers and pupils on factors affecting the academic performance of pupils with hearing HI in selected schools in Zambia. A qualitative approach supported by a case study research design was employed in the study. The sample size was 22 consisting of 10 pupils with HI, 10 teachers of pupils with HI and 2 head teachers. An expert purposive sampling technique was used to select participants. Data from pupils was collected using a focus group discussion guide (sign language used as a mode of communication) while data from head teachers and teachers were collected with aid of face-to-face interview guides. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically and results were presented descriptively. The study revealed that the use of sign language as a mode of communication significantly impaired the exchange of knowledge and skills at the classroom level. It was also found, that pupils with HI faced many challenges such as; a negative attitude towards their academic work, poor pre-academic readiness skills, insufficient resources, clouded school curriculum, inappropriate instructional methodologies and assesmmnet approaches that had affected their academic performance. It was further evident, that teachers were ill-prepared in sign language as a language of instruction to positively impact on academic and social life with HI pupils in schools. Although schools were seen to be making efforts to address the observed challenges, pupils with HI, continued to academically perform lowly. The study recommends, upgrading teachers’ competence in sign language, and providing an enriched learning environment, instructional resources as vehicles for improving academic success among pupils with HI in the study schools.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0335/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: August 2022

Burnout can occur in every healthcare worker who works in hospitals and Comunity Health Centers (CHC), both consciously or unconsciously. Healthcare workers at CHCs are required to make many reports and sometimes there is a possibility to do it at home. Burnout can be experienced by any healthcare worker. There are several factors that may influence the incidence of burnout, namely: ambiguity, multiple role conflicts, work stress, workload and lack of social support. One source of social support comes from family. Family is a place to share stories and issue complaints when individuals experience problems. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the incidence of burnout among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a uantitative study with a Cross Sectional approach. The populations involved were all healthcare workers at Jati Tujuh Community Health Center Unit as many as 61 people. The samples were selected using total sampling technique. Data were analyzed through univariate analysis using frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using Chi square test. The study results showed that less than half of healthcare workers experienced burnout. Less than half of healthcare workers did not have family support. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between family support and the incidence of burnout among healthcare workers. Recommendation is proposed for healthcare workers to increase their knowledge about burnout through seminar activities, consultations with experts and families so as to obtain understanding regarding the importance of family support for healthcare workers who are dealing with COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, CHC Unit should provide training for healthcare workers, especially regarding burnout coping mechanisms to overcome burnout among healthcare workers.

Aim: Health professionals who have direct contact with patients, provide primary care, and have the longest contact time are nurses. The pandemic caused by Covid-19, a virus with high mortality and high spreading rate have caused anxiety and fear in the nurses. This study aimed to evaluate the anxiety and experience of the nurses who care for the patients diagnosed with Covid-19.
Method: This study was carried out based on cross-sectional research principles. This study was carried out with 327 nurses providing care to the hospitalized patients diagnosed with Covid-19.
Results: The nurses stated that 70.6% of them had increased anxiety, 63.9% of the nurses stated that there was a change in sleep patterns and 51.1% of the nurses stated that they were concerned about the transmission of this disease to themselves while giving care to the patient diagnosed with Covid-19. Approximately half of the nurses (49.5%) stated that they needed psychological support.
Conclusion and Suggestions: Nurses experience problems such as impaired sleep pattern, increased anxiety level, and increased fear and anxiety about transmitting the virus to themselves, their families, loved ones, friends and colleagues. For this reason, nurses who care for the patients diagnosed with Covid-19 should be evaluated periodically in terms of psychological health with a risk approach and should be supported psychologically when necessary. In order to ensure that nurses cope with these problems and work efficiently during the Covid-19 pandemic process.

Published: August 2022

Com base nos crimes corporativos da Samarco, BHP Billiton e Vale, ocorridos em Mariana/MG (2015) e Brumadinho/MG (2019), é que se propõe o presente artigo, pensando os impactos da mineração por meio dos riscos de rompimento de barragens de rejeitos. Para isso nos munimos de duas perspectivas temporais (curto prazo e devir), e suas influências nos ecossistemas, empresas, economias e sociedade. Como resultado foi estruturado um ensaio teórico que se torna possível observar dois modelos analíticos, capazes de apresentar reflexões no mínimo, pertinentes ao atual modelo mineral. Com base nos impactos minerais, tendo como modelo a econômica ecológica, evidenciando como o princípio da entropia transforma a atividade mineral em uma ação de grande impacto ambiental, no presente e futuro, dado a segunda lei da termodinâmica. Como conclusão, podemos dizer que estudos e modelos desse tipo devem ser incentivados, afinal a reflexão que seus resultados trazem acerca das ações antrópicas do cotidiano são fundamentais para pensar o dia a dia de nossa espécie no planeta.

Published: August 2022

IntroductionLicorice could exhibit beneficial effect in the management of insomnia by regulating key modulators such as GABA and serotonin, we therefore aimed to study the potentail hypnotic effect of licorice extract, glycyrrhizin (GCZ), on insomnia and the underlying mechanisms.Material and methodsMice were randomly grouped as a Control group, a GCZ (low) group, a GCZ (high) group and a DZP group with 8 mice in each group. Sleep latency, sleep duration and locomotor activities were recorded. ELISA assays were performed to evaluate the level of GABA, glutamate (Glu) and GABA/Glu ratio in mice tissues. Real-time PCR and IHC were performed to study the expression of GABAA-R.ResultsOral GCZ treatment at 300mg/kg and 100mg/kg dose-dependently shortened the sleep latency and increased the sleep duration of mice. Locomotor activity was also inhibited by GCZ, while GABA binding affinity was higher in mice treated with GCZ. Moreover, GCZ treatment in mice also increased the GABA level and GALA/Glu ratio in mice plasma, brain, hippocampus and cerebrospinal fluid. Moreover, the level of GABAA receptor (GABAA-R) was also increased by GCZ treatment in a dose-dependent manner.ConclusionsOur study validated that the glycyrrhizin, content of licorice, could alleviate insomnia by upregulating the level of GABA and its receptor.

Authors: Rodrigues Raphaela Barbosa de Farias , Penha Jonas Marques da 
Published: August 2022

A institucionalização das escolas Cidadãs-Integrais tem sido um dos principais projetos da gestão dos últimos anos no Estado da Paraíba. Sua implementação iniciou-se em 2016 e atualmente encontra-se em todas as Gerências Regionais de Ensino – GRE’s, envolvendo boa parte dos docentes da rede de ensino. A partir da experiência da pesquisadora durante o período de dois anos como estagiária em uma escola Cidadã-Integral (ECI)foi observada a inserção de Organizações Sociais – O.S. e uma profunda mudança na gestão, no currículo e, possivelmente nas condições de trabalho dos docentes. A inserção destas O.S. está associada à lógica da Globalização e do neoliberalismo, impondo níveis de padronização em escala mundial e em diversos aspectos da vida humana. Um destes aspectos é o trabalho, compreendido como indissociável ao ser humano. Este estudo, tem como objetivo refletir sobre a condição de trabalho dos professores das ECI/Paraíba. Compreendendo a importância da escola para a formação e transformação da sociedade e reconhecendo que o professor possui característica central nesse contexto, necessitamos estar atentos às políticas que os envolvem, pois isto irá dizer os rumos da nossa sociedade. Essa pesquisa, aproxima-se metodologicamente das pesquisas descritiva, exploratória e revisão documental. nos debruçamos sobre a abordagem qualitativa e do questionário para coleta de dados, isto, com o intuito de dar voz aos docentes. Para análise dos resultados ancoramo-nos no aporte teórico que versa sobre conceitos como neoliberalismo, globalização, trabalho, bem como proletarização e alienação. Confere-se que as mudanças impostas aos docentes tendência à intensificação da alienação e proletarização dos profissionais.

Published: August 2022

Abstrak
Kabupaten Pandeglang memiliki prevalensi stunting yang tinggi mencapai 38,5% dengan jumlah balita stunting sekitar 8.303. Perhatian khusus diperlukan pada kasus stunting pada anak di bawah lima tahun karena berpotensi menghambat perkembangan fisik, mental dan kognitif anak. Penanganan stunting diprioritaskan terhadap Ibu hamil dan anak berusia 0 hingga 2 tahun dengan melakukan intervensi gizi yang spesifik dan sensitif . Intervensi gizi spesifik dapat diartikan sebagai tindakan yang dilakukan secara khusus dengan sasaran anak 1000 hari pertama kehidupan. Stunting dapat disebabkan karena terjadinya defisit protein, dimana protein sebagai sumber asam amino yang dibutuhkan tubuh dalam membentuk matriks tulang. Program intervensi gizi spesifik yang telah berjalan di Indonesia adalah dengan pemberian telur di posyandu. Telur merupakan produk pangan hewan yang kaya akan protein, murah dan mudah didapat. Kegiatan ini bertujuan menurunkan prealensi stunting di Kabupaten Pandeglang memberikan telur setiap hari selama 6 bulan kepada balita stunting di 10 desa lokus stunting di Kabupaten Pandeglang mulai September 2020 hingga Februari 2021. Hasil dari yang diperoleh program ini adalah terjadi penurunan persentase stunting balita sebesar 11,5%. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi dari program ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa telur dapat menjadi pilihan makanan tambahan yang tepat untuk balita stunting.
