RESUMEN Este artículo tiene como finalidad analizar las percepciones del profesorado de lenguaje sobre los elementos facilitadores y obstaculizadores para trabajar la comunicación oral desde un enfoque colaborativo. El diseño metodológico fue de tipo cualitativo con un enfoque descriptivo. La técnica de muestreo empleada fue de tipo probabilística intencionada. Los participantes del estudio fueron 40 docentes chilenos de lenguaje. El instrumento de recolección de datos fue un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas, cuyos análisis se llevaron a cabo a través del corpus textual emergente de las respuestas. El análisis implicó la identificación de unidades de significado y la agrupación en categorías relevantes. Los principales resultados destacan la importancia de la retroalimentación en una modalidad presencial, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en una modalidad de enseñanza virtual, el desarrollo de habilidades comunicativas y su puesta en práctica bajo una metodología colaborativa. Se releva también el rol del docente como guía para la generación de un clima idóneo en el aula. Como aspectos obstaculizadores, se encuentran la autopercepción negativa del estudiante, la falta de recursos y las dificultades del cuerpo docente para establecer relaciones de cercanía y confianza con los estudiantes en contexto virtual.

ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the perceptions of language teachers about the facilitating and hindering elements to work oral communication from a collaborative approach. The methodological design was qualitative with a descriptive approach. An intentional non-probabilistic sample was used. The study participants were 40 Chilean language teachers. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with open questions, the analysis of which was carried out through the emerging textual corpus of open responses. The main results highlight the importance of feedback in a face-to-face modality, unlike what happens in a virtual teaching modality. Likewise, the face-to-face context facilitates the development of communication skills and their implementation under a collaborative methodology. The role of the teacher as a guide for the generation of an ideal climate in the classroom is also highlighted. As impeding aspects, there are the negative self-perception of the student, the lack of resources and the difficulties of the teaching body to establish relationships of closeness and trust with the students in a virtual context.

ABSTRACT Soil education plays an important role in preventing soil degradation processes by raising awareness among the population about the importance of this non-renewable resource. Using new educational technologies in teaching, such as educational videos and social media, can speed up communication and information. This article aimed to develop educational videos on the topic of erosion, posted on social networks, as a way of popularizing science. Four videos of a maximum of 7 minutes were produced, which were shown in the classroom and on Instagram (@saberessobresolos). In-class promotion reached nine undergraduate and postgraduate classes, totaling an average of 255 students. Metrics used for evaluation were polls and video engagement on the social network. Instagram metrics results indicated, in a period of 49 days, 1615 profiles had accessed the video. There was a reduction in this engagement in other publications, probably due to the variation in time, day of the week, and frequency of posts. The results of the surveys were positive for all the characteristics evaluated, with little disparity among the videos. On a smaller scale, negative feedback was observed, such as: the narration, running time, the translation into Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), and video captions. Approximately 81 % of individuals reported experiencing soil erosion effects, and 59 % had encountered issues as a direct consequence. The evaluation also indicated the videos’ ability to enhance knowledge is above 90 %, largely due to the dynamic and inclusive nature of this pedagogical approach, fostering genuine comprehension of the content, satisfaction in learning, and the ability to engage in meaningful discussions on the subject. Disseminating educational videos through social media ensured the democratization and widespread access to soil education, as it expanded reach and facilitated the exchange of knowledge between universities and society. The project fulfills its mission of producing and popularizing knowledge on soils, expanding scientific dissemination, making it more accessible, and contributing to recognizing the importance of conserving this resource. nonrenewable non renewable resource teaching information networks science produced @saberessobresolos. saberessobresolos @saberessobresolos .

Abstract Purpose: This article aims to highlight the existence of an Anthropocene feedback process originating from the pressures of human actions on Earth, particularly the adoption of novel technologies that bring risks and negative environmental impacts in two strategic economic sectors: energy and agriculture. Originality/value: We defend the argument that each technological advance generates new associated risks, increasing the negative pressure on terrestrial ecosystems. This argument draws inspiration from the discourse on the “risk society” (Beck, 2011), which deals with the unquantified uncertainties linked to technological progress. It also aligns with the concept of the Anthropocene (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000), which examines how human actions and organizations impact the Earth’s system. The discussions demonstrate that uncertainty remains an inherent facet of human activities, thus perpetually subjecting such actions to risk. Design/methodology/approach: We employ a theoretical essay approach to discuss evidence that underscores the challenges posed by technological advancements in the energy and agriculture sectors, notably expressing human-induced environmental impacts. Findings: By analyzing technological advances in energy and agriculture, we substantiate the existence of the Anthropocene feedback process. This analysis contradicts the notion of a favorable “good Anthropocene” (Asafu-Adjaye et al., 2015) and challenges the misconception that technological progress alone can sufficiently mitigate the repercussions of human activities on Earth.

Resumo Objetivo: Este artigo visa evidenciar a existência de um processo de retroalimentação do Antropoceno, cuja origem está nas pressões das ações humanas sobre a Terra, tomando por base a adoção de novas tecnologias que trazem riscos e impactos negativos ao meio ambiente em dois setores econômicos estratégicos: energia e agricultura. Originalidade/valor: Defendemos o argumento de que cada avanço tecnológico gera novos riscos associados, o que tende a aumentar a pressão negativa sobre os diferentes ecossistemas terrestres. Tal argumento está fundamentado em discussões sobre a “sociedade de risco” (Beck, 2011), que trata das incertezas não quantificadas dos riscos inerentes ao progresso técnico, e sobre o Antropoceno (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000), em torno dos processos pelos quais a humanidade e suas organizações impactam o Sistema-Terra. A partir dessas discussões, entendemos que não se pode excluir totalmente a incerteza das ações humanas e, portanto, tal ação estará sempre sujeita a uma condição de risco. Design/metodologia/abordagem: A partir de um ensaio teórico, são debatidas evidências da problemática dos avanços tecnológicos nesses setores, considerados particularmente expressivos dos impactos humanos no ambiente. Resultados: As evidências do processo de retroalimentação do Antropoceno por meio da análise dos avanços tecnológicos nos setores de energia e agricultura subsidiam uma reflexão contrária à ideia de que existiria um “bom Antropoceno” (Asafu-Adjaye et al., 2015) e expõem a falácia de que o avanço tecnológico dá conta de frear os impactos das ações humanas no planeta Terra.

Abstract Qualitative action-research research aimed to describe the process of reorganizing the care flow of a UPA to face the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the implementation of care protocols. The collective problem was the organization of the care flow for people with the flu syndrome (FS). The study considered the action-research cycles proposed by Tripp (2005). In the planning phase, the flow of care for patients with FS was developed through the analysis of regulations, physical structure, and available resources. During implementation, intersectoral partnerships were established for physical adaptation, training of professionals, and resizing of the team. The planning and implementation process was described based on reports and data were collected from the unit's management equipment and the Municipal Health Department. The evaluation was carried out continuously, based on feedback from the literature and reflected practice. The reorganization of the unit with the implementation of protocols and division of flows showed positive points, such as participation and involvement of the team, review of processes, search for evidence, and intersectoral partnerships; and negative, such as the difficulty in separating FS patients within the physical structure of the UPA. actionresearch action COVID19 COVID 19 COVID-1 pandemic FS. .

Abstract Introduction: The PHEEM (postgraduate hospital educational environment measure) is a validated and reliable instrument to assess the educational environment in medical residency programs. Objective: To map the application of the PHEEM questionnaire in medical residency, evaluate the results found, positive and negative aspects and points for improvement. Method: We performed a scoping review according to the Joanna Briggs institution’s methodology. Studies that followed the PCC structure were included, as follows: P (participants) = resident physicians of any specialty; C (concept) = The PHEEM is an instrument used to assess the educational environment in medical residency, through a 40-item questionnaire divided into 3 subscales that include perception of autonomy, teaching and social support. C (context)= studies on PHEEM in medical residency of any specialty. PubMed, EMBASE and the Virtual Health Library databases were the data sources. Results: We identified 1588 references, and after reading the title and abstract, 50 references were selected for full reading, and 36 studies were included. The studies were carried out in 22 countries, and most revealed a more positive than negative educational environment, albeit with room for improvement. In the subscales, the perception of autonomy was more positive than negative, and the perception of teaching revealed that most programs are moving in the right direction. However, when evaluating social support, the results were divided between an unpleasant environment and an environment with more pros than cons. The main highlighted positive points were low racial and sexual discrimination, possibility of working in a team, adequate level of responsibilities, accessible teachers with good teaching skills, learning opportunities and participation in educational events. The main negative points were lack of adequate food and accommodation during the shifts, excessive workload, lack of feedback from preceptors and lack of protected time for study and the culture of blaming the resident. Conclusion: The application of PHEEM revealed that in most medical residency programs the educational environment was more positive than negative, albeit with room for improvement. Efforts are needed to improve the educational environment, especially social support, in medical residency programs.

Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos mapear a aplicação do questionário PHEEM na residência médica e avaliar os resultados, os aspectos positivos e negativos e os pontos passíveis de melhoria. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo de acordo com a metodologia do Instituto Joanna Briggs de revisões de escopo. Foram incluídos estudos seguindo a estrutura PCC: P (participantes) = médicos residentes de qualquer especialidade; C (conceito) = o PHEEM é um instrumento utilizado para avaliar o ambiente educacional na residência médica, por meio de um questionário de 40 itens divididos em três subescalas que incluem percepção de autonomia, ensino e suporte social; C (cenário) = pesquisas sobre o PHEEM na residência médica de qualquer especialidade. As bases eletrônicas pesquisadas foram: PubMed, Embase e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Resultado: As estratégias de busca rodadas resultaram em 1.588 estudos, 50 foram lidos na íntegra, e incluíram-se 36. Os estudos foram realizados em 22 países, e a maioria revelou um ambiente educacional mais positivo que negativo, entretanto com espaço para melhorias. Nas subescalas, a percepção de autonomia se mostrou mais positiva que negativa, e a percepção de ensino revelou que a maioria dos programas está caminhando na direção certa. Entretanto, na avaliação do suporte social, os resultados foram divididos entre um ambiente não agradável e um ambiente com mais prós do que contras. Os principais pontos positivos destacados foram baixa discriminação racial e sexual, possibilidade de trabalhar em equipe, nível adequado de responsabilidades, professores acessíveis e com boas habilidades de ensino, oportunidades de aprendizado e participação em eventos educacionais. Os principais pontos negativos foram falta de alimentação e acomodação adequadas durante o plantão, carga horária excessiva, falta de feedback por parte dos preceptores, falta de tempo protegido para estudo e cultura de culpar o residente. Conclusão: A aplicação do PHEEM revelou que, na maioria dos programas de residência médica, o ambiente educacional se mostrou mais positivo que negativo, entretanto com espaço para melhorias. São necessários esforços para a melhoria do ambiente educacional, especialmente do suporte social, nos programas de residência médica.

Abstract Background Interleukin-17 (IL-17) family plays a role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by contributing to the inflammatory and destructive processes in the affected joint. This study aimed to measure levels of IL-17 A and IL-25 (IL-17E) in serum of KOA patients and determine their roles in the disease severity of patients. Methods In this, 34 patients with KOA and 30 age and sex-matched healthy subjects (HS) were enrolled. Patients were categorized based on their Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Body Mass Index (BMI) scores. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was employed to measure serum levels of IL-17 A and IL-25. Results Level of IL-25 was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) in the KOA subjects than HS. IL-17 A level was significantly higher in KOA cases with WOMAC < 40 (P < 0.0001) in comparison to HS. IL-25 level was significantly higher in the KOA cases with WOMAC < 40 (P < 0.0001) and with WOMAC ≥ 40 (P < 0.0001) compared to HS. IL-17 A concentration was significantly higher in the KOA cases with VAS < 5 (P < 0.0001) compared to HS. IL-25 level was significantly higher in the KOA cases with VAS < 5 (P < 0.0001) and with VAS ≥ 5 (P < 0.0001) in comparison to HS. KOA patients with BMI ≥ 30 had significantly higher IL-17 A and IL-25 concentration in comparison to HS. Conclusions The serum level of IL-25 in KOA patients is increased probably due to negative controlling feedback on inflammatory responses, which can be associated with obesity and disease activity.

Abstract: Proactivity and psychological capital (PsyCap) are concepts associated with psychological virtues, resources awakened from individual and organizational factors, which can maximize results. This study aimed to investigate qualitatively the determinants and aspects that can stimulate PsyCap and proactivity, from the perspective of workers of two Brazilian businesses. The research was carried out with semi-structured interviews with a sample of 26 employees. The results revealed common determinants for proactivity and PsyCap, among them formal and informal learning, feedback, happiness, persistence, curiosity, challenges, and strategy. Some positive consequences were observed, such as euphoria, joy, fulfillment, enthusiasm, engagement, and gratitude. Also note that the absence of proactivity and low levels of PsyCap could trigger negative reactions, such as indignation, sadness, procrastination, paralysis, imbalance, and frustration. These results suggest that interventions focused on the development of proactivity and PsyCap can be essential to enhance individual well-being and positive results in organizations.

ORIENTATION: The study explored the employment experiences of contract academic staff working in universities RESEARCH PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore higher education employment practices experienced by contract academic staff. Recommendations for fair and inclusive human resource practices to address negative employee experiences was offered MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: Research on employment practices and non-standard employment arrangements in the South African context are scant and outdated. Consequently, it is important to shed light on the experience of contract academic staff in universities given the widespread practice of employing contract academic staff in the sector RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: A qualitative research approach was employed. A total of 26 temporary employed contract academic staff members from 15 different departments across three institutions of higher education in South Africa participated in semi-structured interviews MAIN FINDINGS: The findings of this study highlight how contract academic staff experience being employed in universities. The themes identified were, a lack of job orientation and onboarding, last-minute contract offers, vague contract terms, lack of employment benefits, lack of rights and legal standing, limited career development and funding opportunities, unfair work demands, lack of performance feedback, and lack of human resources and organisational support PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: Understanding the influence of university employment practices on contract academic staff will aid Human Resources Departments in re-evaluating policy and practice to combat the negative effects thereof. Particularly, how the employment contract process is managed, the lack of support available to staff, and the general disregard for the value that this category of staff adds to the academic offering CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: This study provides valuable insight for improving policies and practices that enhance the employment experience of contract academic staff in universities

BACKGROUND: Health system planning and monitoring rely on routine data collection, analysis and utilisation. However, underdeveloped countries need more data for decision-making. South Sudan's data management framework only partially functions, with delayed data collection and inaccurate data. The study examined the factors affecting data quality in Maridi County, South Sudan, aiming to improve resource forecasting and equitable health service delivery. OBJECTIVE: The study sought to identify the obstacles and opportunities for improving data quality in health information systems (HIS) in Maridi County, Western Equatoria State, South Sudan. METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 106 respondents was conducted on 12 healthcare facilities in Maridi County. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used for descriptive, factor and thematic analysis to understand data quality, focussing on behavioural, organisational and technical aspects. RESULT: The study revealed that insufficient motivation, negative staff attitudes, excessive workloads, a lack of cooperation, personnel insufficiency, inadequate supervision, feedback and training influenced data quality. These factors were interrelated, with over 50% of variables showing weak to strong correlations. Set of standard indicators correlated with the presence of standard data collection tools (r = 0.51). Regular feedback from the County Health Department linked with completeness (r = 0.63) and the training of personnel on health management information systems (HMIS) and completeness resulted in moderate association (r = 0.488). CONCLUSION: Staff motivation, optimal staffing, training, regular feedback, and continuous supervision are crucial for maintaining the appropriate skill set for data quality. CONTRIBUTION: Data quality can be achieved when standard tools and human resources are maintained and are evenly distributed.

Abstract Purpose This study examines the influence of cultural controls on affective commitment in a family firm, mediated by feedback/feedforward, work pressure, and counterproductive behaviors. Theoretical framework Under the lens of social exchange theory, it is postulated that cultural controls have a direct effect on affective and indirect commitment through feedback/feedforward, work pressure and counterproductive behaviors. Design/methodology/approach The hypotheses were tested with data from a survey carried out with employees of a family firm, using structural equation modeling. Findings The research results show that there is a direct positive relationship between cultural controls and affective commitment. Cultural controls positively influence feedback/feedforward and work pressure, but no negative influence on counterproductive behaviors was observed. Also, positive influence of feedback/feedforward on affective commitment was found, but not work pressure, and not even negative influence of counterproductive behaviors. Practical & social implications of research The research findings contribute to the literature and managerial practice by revealing that cultural controls directly impact the affective commitment of employees and indirectly through the mediating effect of feedback/feedforward, work pressure, and counterproductive behaviors. This indicates that even after the IPO, cultural aspects continue to influence the behavior of the employees of the researched family firm. Originality/value The study is relevant in revealing, in the light of social exchange theory, the effects of cultural controls on the affective commitment of employees of the family firm, with the intervention of feedback/feedforward. firm feedbackfeedforward feedback feedforward theory Designmethodologyapproach Design methodology approach modeling observed Also found IPO Originalityvalue Originality value

SIGNIFICANCE: Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) negative emissions interventions are needed to steer the planet to a safe climate by the end of the century. In this Commentary, we frame the rationale and likely challenges for a regionally focused and coordinated CDR-centred science-policy platform with a global reach to support the opportunities and minimise the risks associated with CDR in southern Africa. We make a first attempt to frame a new CDR-centred strategic compact in the science-government-innovation-business nexus that is required to enable South Africa to provide regional and global climate leadership and impact over the 21st century.

If virtual assessment lies at the heart of the open, distance and e-learning experience, then information about student responses to the assessment is vital. Feedback is generally thought of as being conveyed by the e-tutor to the student; however, the feedback mechanisms ecosystem demonstrates that student-to-lecturer and student-to-institution are also vital types of feedback. The study followed the mixed method approach to investigate the perceptions of 148 students in the Department of Educational Management universities in South Africa. Of the participants, 143 responded to questionnaires, and the remaining 5 were interviewed by means of a semi-structured interview schedule. The findings indicate that e-tutors did provide feedback to their students, and also that the efficient provision of effective feedback is essential to student learning and continues to be a key concern for many higher education institutions. However, the study also revealed that e-tutors provided conventional, one-dimensional assessment feedback, with negative consequences for teaching and learning. It is recommended that e-tutors should give feedback that encourages students rather than expressing criticism.

RESUMEN Introducción: La pandemia por la COVID-19 reestructuró la metodología de enseñanza, reemplazando la presencialidad por medios virtuales. En medicina humana y odontología ha sido un desafío adaptarse al nuevo proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje al desarrollar en línea la asignatura de anatomía humana y dental. Objetivo: Determinar el impacto de la enseñanza-aprendizaje virtual en anatomía humana y dental durante el confinamiento por la COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: La recolección de los estudios se llevó a cabo en PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scielo y Google Académico, empleando ecuaciones de búsqueda compuestas por términos estandarizados en el MeSh complementandose con términos libres. El desarrollo de la revisión sistemática se realizó siguiendo las directrices establecidas por PRISMA 2020. Se empleó el aplicativo web Rayyan para la discrimación de los artículos. La calidad y riesgo de sesgo se determinó con las herramientas de la NHLBI y QUADAS-2. Resultados: Se analizó 413 investigaciones, quedando 7 para su revisión. Se identificó superioridad del impacto negativo por las sesiones en línea; además, la implementación de plataformas digitales, accesibilidad a softwares y videos fueron los principales recursos empleados. Asimismo, entre los beneficios se resalta la accesibilidad a las grabaciones de las clases dictadas, sesiones subidas con anticipación y el tiempo para la retroalimentación. Sin embargo, la poca experiencia del manejo de la virtualidad, limitado acceso a internet, mayor facilidad de ingresar a distractores como las redes sociales, pérdida de interacción entre docentes y compañeros dificultaron el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. Conclusión: La enseñanza-aprendizaje de anatomía humana y dental es un desafío para la nueva generación, ya que los medios virtuales están complementando la enseñanza cada vez más pausando a la disección cadavérica. Se resaltó el impacto, recursos empleados, beneficios y dificultades de la enseñanza-aprendizaje en línea, con la intención de prepararnos ante un eventual confinamiento.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic restructured the teaching methodology, replacing fase to face learning with virtual media. In human medicine and dentistry, it has been a challenge to adapt to the new teaching learning process by developing the subject of human and dental anatomy online. Objective: To determine the impact of virtual teaching learning in human and dental anatomy during the confinement by COVID-19. Materials and methods: The collection of studies was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo and Google Scholar, using searche quations composed of standardized MeSH terms complemented by free terms. The development of the systematic review was carried out following the guidelinese stablished by PRISMA 2020. The Rayyan web application was used to discriminate the articles. Quality and risk of bias were determined usingt he NHLBI and QUADAS-2 tools. Results: 413 investigations were analyzed, leaving 7 for review. Superiority of negative impact was identified by online sessions; In addition, the implementation of digital platforms, accessibility to software and videos were the main resources used. Likewise, among the benefits, the accessibility to there cordings of the classes given, sesión suploaded in advance and the time for feedback are high lighted. However, the little experience of managing virtuality, limited access to the Internet, greaterease of entering distractions such as social networks, loss of interaction between teachers and classmates made the teaching learning process difficult. Conclusion: The teaching learning of human and dental anatomy is a challenge for the new generation, since virtual media are complementing teaching, increasingly pausing cadaveric dissection. The impact, resources used, benefits and difficulties of online teaching learning were high lighted, with the intention of preparing oursel ves for a posible confinement.

Abstract: In this paper, I argue that the ecological approach to perception provides resources to overcome the causal argument against disjunctivism. According to the causal argument, since the brain states that proximally cause the perceptual experience and the corresponding hallucinatory one can be of the same type, there would be no good reason to reject that the perceptual experience and the corresponding hallucinatory experience have fundamentally the same nature. Disjunctivism concerning the nature of the experience would then be false. I identify three assumptions that support the causal argument: the indistinguishability assumption, the linearity assumption, and the duplication assumption. According to the ecological approach to disjunctivism, these assumptions should be rejected, opening up room for a version of disjunctivism that I call ‘Ecological Disjunctivism’. Perceptual episodes are extended over time and are supervenient to the organism-environment system. They can be distinguished from the ‘corresponding’ hallucinations because the former results from a controlled process of attunement to the environment, whereas hallucinations are passive and insensible to the exploratory activities of the perceptual system. Finally, ecological disjunctivism, since it is immune to the causal argument, is more advantageous than negative and positive disjunctivism.

Resumo: Neste artigo, argumenta-se que a abordagem ecológica da percepção oferece recursos para desarmar o argumento causal contra o disjuntivismo. Segundo o argumento causal, como os estados cerebrais que proximamente antecedem a experiência perceptiva e a experiência alucinatória correspondente podem ser do mesmo tipo, não haveria, portanto, uma boa razão para rejeitar que a experiência perceptiva e a experiência alucinatória correspondente tenham fundamentalmente a mesma natureza. O disjuntivismo com respeito à natureza da experiência seria, assim, falso. Identificam-se três suposições que apoiam o argumento causal: a suposição da indistinguibilidade, a suposição da linearidade e a suposição da duplicação. De acordo com a abordagem ecológica da percepção, essas suposições não se sustentam, abrindo espaço para a defesa de uma versão ecológica do disjuntivismo. Episódios perceptivos se estendem ao longo do tempo e são supervenientes ao sistema organismo-ambiente. Eles também podem ser distinguidos dos “correspondentes” episódios de alucinação, por serem o resultado de um processo controlado de sintonização, ao passo que as alucinações são passivas e refratárias às atividades de exploração e sintonização. Por fim, o disjuntivismo ecológico, na medida em que é imune ao argumento causal, se mostra vantajoso em relação aos disjuntivismos negativo e positivo.
