NEW APPROACHES TO GATHERING DATA ON STUDENT LEARNING FOR RESEARCH IN STATISTICS EDUCATION
Authors: CHANCE BETH L. , GARFIELD JOAN B. 
Published: May 2022

Over the last fifteen years there has been a strong emphasis on active learning, use of real data in the classroom, and innovative uses of technology for helping students learn statistics. A recent survey in the United States (Garfield, 2001) documents that many tertiary teachers of statistics courses have made changes toward these recommendations. Now more than ever, more research is needed on the effects of these instructional methods and materials on student learning, retention, and motivation. This research need first requires the determination of effective research methodology in statistics education. In assessing students' conceptual understanding, reasoning abilities, and attitudes, and their development, alternative methods of gathering student data are needed that supplement comparative experiments and improve on traditional assessment items that focus on calculations, definition, and rote manipulations. This article will present and critique additional methods for obtaining research data on how students develop an understanding of statistics, including classroom-based research and videotaped student interviews/observations.

Recensión de:
Cano, M., Performatividad y vulnerabilidad, Barcelona: Shackleton Books, 2021.
En este libro publicado en 2021 por la editorial Shackleton Books, la profesora Mónica Cano Abadía hace un estudio del pensamiento de Judith Butler a partir de los dos ejes principales que extrae de su obra: la performatividad y la vulnerabilidad. Por un lado, se deja claro que todas construimos nuestra identidad a partir de un mecanismo de repetición de normas que está sujeto a fallo y que, por tanto, puede ocasionar que nuestro cuerpo realice ciertos actos de habla cuyas consecuencias (tanto para uno mismo como para los demás) no sean las deseadas desde un principio. Por otro lado, también se indica que somos seres vulnerables de manera constitutiva, lo que quiere decir que necesariamente tendremos que establecer relaciones de interdependencia con las demás personas si queremos sobrevivir en este mundo. No somos individuos autónomos y libres que pueden llegar a construir su identidad independientemente de la mirada del Otro, pero tampoco somos meros seres pasivos que se configuran como resultado de una imposición y asimilación de las normas sociales.

Esse artigo procura verificar a formação de professor e a educação do campo enfatizando reflexões sobre Educação Ambiental. Nesse sentido, enfatiza uma abordagem à educação ambiental nos contextos escolar e rural, os sujeitos da educação do campo e o meio ambiente, a política nacional de educação ambiental na formação dos professores, a educação ambiental na formação dos professores e a construção do currículo e a geração à transformação. Percebe-se, de acordo essa abordagem, que a escola representa o lugar onde ocorre a inserção das práticas educacionais inerentes ao meio ambiente, tendo em vista que a formação profissional se torna essencial para promoção de um processo de ensino e aprendizagem eficaz, principalmente quando a educação ambiental se torna o centro da conscientização e valorização para o ambiente educacional. Levando em consideração o contexto dessa temática ambiental, a escola passa a ser vista como o principal cenário que permeiam reflexões à questão do meio ambiente como a preservação e a valorização. Conclui-se a pesquisa considerando que a escola representa um excelente ambiente para que o professor venha cada vez mais aprofundar a discussão sobre a importância da inserção de disciplinas relacionadas à educação ambiental, sem, no entanto, que ele mesmo também deve seguir uma trajetória dinâmica de formação continuada para criação de inovações metodológicas tão essenciais para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

Authors: Skaria Sajan , Kulkarni Manoj 
Published: May 2022

Background: Being the most common bone to osteoporotic fracture after the hip and distal radius, the surgical importance of the proximal humerus has gained much interest. Shoulder joint replacement has become very common option for many clinical conditions like arthritis, fracture of proximal humerus etc in last few decades. Although the fractures can be treated non surgically, the surgical correction has gained popularity. Restoration of the normal anatomy of the shoulder is extremely important to avoid future complications in shoulder arthroplasty. The angles at the proximal humerus are crucial in selecting the appropriate prostheses. The objective of the study is to have a region specific data on the torsion of head of humerus. Material and methods: Angle of torsion of 300 unpaired humeri collected from various medical colleges of Western part of India were analysed. Observation: The average torsion of humerus was 63.89±14.97. The P value of 0.483 showed statistically non-significant difference between the left and right humeri. Conclusion : The success of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) depends on the satisfaction of the patient. Population specific prosthesis increases patient satisfaction and decreases post operative complications.

Authors: Dakhil Taif Abdulhussein , Abdulsahib Islam Fadhil , Koban Haydar Jabr 
Published: May 2022

One of the most important aspects of studying English as a foreign language is vocabulary, mainly at a low level of communicating meanings. Though vocabulary is of high importance, EFL learners face great difficulties in acquiring it. One of the significant issues is that EFL students have no clue on how to learn vocabulary effectively. The othear issue is that instructional methods can be insufficient to such a degree that they can be due to their uselessness in encouraging learners to practice language, as they should be. Pedagogically, the study is expected to be useful for syllabus designers as it concentrates on a vital aspect of language, i.e. vocabulary. This study may also be of some significance to language examiners who assess learners’ vocabulary mastery in an appropriate context. Since context-free and context-dependent vocabulary is essential in EFL, the current research aims to evaluate the EFL College students’ ability to use context-free and context-dependent vocabulary.

Published: May 2022

Background: Implanon is a modern hormonal contraceptive with a long-acting and reversible effect. It is effective for up to 3 years and can be given during breastfeeding, thus preventing early pregnancy in about 99% of breastfeeding mothers. The current prevalence rate for contraceptive use in Nigeria is approximately 11%–15%. This rate is very low in spite of the high rate of sexual activity and widespread awareness of the various contraceptive methods among Nigerian adolescents and youths. Objective: To determine the socio-demographic profile of implanon acceptors, the side effects profile and reasons for discontinuation of the method in Calabar. Method: This was a five-year retrospective review of records of clients who accepted Implanon at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Calabar, Nigeria. Result: During the period under review, 311 clients accepted Implanon as a method of modern contraceptive in this tertiary facility. The mean age of users was 31.0 5.5SD. Of this number, 97.7% were Christians while 2.3% were Muslims. 93.6% of the clients had at least secondary education and above, 52.7% of the clients had three or more children at the point of accepting the method. However, 80.0% of them desired future fertility. T
Proteínas lácteas como fuente dietaria de biopéptidos antidiabéticos: Estudio de la nutracéutica de los lácteos en la diabetes mellitus desde la biología computacional
Authors: Barrero Jorge Andrés , González Clavijo Angélica María 
Published: May 2022

Antecedentes: El consumo de lácteos se ha asociado con un menor riesgo de desarrollar diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Si bienlos mecanismos subyacentes no se conocen en su totalidad, estudios recientes sugieren que este papel protector está enrelación con las propiedades biológicas de las proteínas lácteas.
Objetivo: Determinar la viabilidad de los lácteos como fuente dietaria de biopéptidos con propiedades antidiabéticas.
Metodología: Se analizaron las proteínas lácteas de mayor concentración en la leche de cinco especies: bovino, oveja, cabra, búfalo y humano. Estas fueron sometidas a digestión simulada en BIOPEP-UWM y, posteriormente, a un análisis in silico del porcentaje de absorción gastrointestinal, excreción renal, y concentración efectiva media (EC50).
Resultados: Se obtuvo un total de 51 di- y tripéptidos bioactivos inhibidores de la dipeptidil peptidasa-IV (iDPP-IV). Los 13 biopéptidos con mayor perfil deabsorción gastrointestinal fueron aquellos dipéptidos con residuos de leucina y triptófano en la posición C-terminal, siendo estos los aminoácidos más frecuentes en los compuestos iDPP-IV. Asimismo, seis de los trece biopéptidos altamente absorbibles mostraron ser producto de la digestión de proteínas presentes en la leche de las cinco especies. El análisis del perfil bioactivo reveló 12 blancos moleculares de alta afinidad, de los cuales dos, DPP-IV y calpaína-I, seencuentran involucrados en la fisiopatología de la diabetes.
Conclusiones: Este estudio describe parámetros como la absorción gastrointestinal, excreción renal teórica y EC50 de inhibición de DPP-IV para los biopéptidos con acciónantidiabética, aportando nuevo conocimiento a las propiedades nutracéuticas de los lácteos en la diabetes, y postulando como mecanismo subyacente la liberación de biopéptidos iDPP-IV durante la digestión gastrointestinal.

Background: Calcium supplementation during pregnancy has a proven potential to reduce adverse gestational outcomes, in particular by decreasing the risk of developing hypertensive disorders during gestation.
Objective: to evaluate various factors influencing the consumption of iron folic acid and calcium tablets supplementation during pregnancy.
Methodology: A community based analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 women in the rural field practice area of Jhalawar. Data were collected by house to house visit and analysed using chi-square test.
Results: Only 55.5% pregnant women have taken IFA tablets while 23.5% women have taken tablets of calcium during their pregnancy. IFA consumption were significantly associated with level of education of women and their husband, socio-economic class, type of family, number of ANC visits and presence of husband during those visits and mass media exposure Calcium consumption were also associated with level of education of women, socio-economic class, number of ANC visits and presence of husband during those visits.
Conclusions: Consumption of IFA tablets was higher than the national level however calcium consumption was low. Emphasis should be given on early registration, multiple ANC visits, role of family and husband in caring of mother during pregnancy to improve consumptions of IFA and Calcium supplements.
Psychic and Social Paralysis of a Rising Generation: A Study of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger and Esiaba Irobi’s Nwokedi
Authors: Oyibo Eze Norbert , Salifu Peter Ogohi 
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the response of youths or the rising generation, to the socio-economic and political factors that ceaselessly widen the gap between the elite and the ordinary people, especially the youth and which tend to force the youth to resort to violence as a means of making their point or calling attention to the neglected leaders of tomorrow. While Look Back in Anger represents the anger period, a notable era in English Drama, Irobi’s play in English; Nwokedi, appears to suggest that the Nigerian youth seem to grope in a more devastating condition in a post-colonial Nigeria, where poor leadership has created all manner of socio-economic and political tension. The youthful generation in both plays embodied in the characters, Jimmy and Nwokedi, respectively violently demonstrate their resentment against the ruling class ideology and the social order it promotes. Their resolve points strongly to a revolution that a positive change may only quell. The paper submits that youths should, along with their agitations for a better society, give no holiday to developing new ideas and visions on which their ambitions will thrive. Leaders on all fronts are also cautioned to realize the destructive effects of bad leadership and avert uprisings from an angry citizenry by living up to their mandates.
