The Internet has a huge impact on human life, especially students. Open access to information, will improve the process of disseminating knowledge. This study aims to analyze the level of effectiveness of the use of internet media in increasing the knowledge of students in Jakarta on the history of Islam. The study involved 150 respondents categorized by their administrative region; South Jakarta, East Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta and Central Jakarta. The results of the study were processed descriptively. Variable in the research are; the attitude of internet users, subjective norms, interest in learning and learning behavior. The results showed that the use of the Internet as a media of literacy is currently not optimal. One of the reasons is, the limitations of internet links that discuss the history of Islamic knowledge in the form of scientific studies, mostly just a blog that is less the sense of scientific, so that students prefer to find sources of literacy from the library (printed book)

Dysmenorea is menstrual pain that the girly teenagers often feel. In Indonesia, the number of primarydysmenorea happen in 54,89% and the others are the type of patients facing menstrual pain. The kind of this study is analytic. The independent variable is knowledge and the dependent is the manner. The population counts 35 students. Taking samples is done by total sampling. The data taken are observed and analyzed by Chi Square. The result of this study shows us that having good knowledge counts 51% and the most respondent have positive manner in facing menstrual pain. Statical test using Chi Square test gets the result sig (2 talled)(0,026), so H1 will be accepted, if sig (2-tailed) <α so, based on Chi Square test shows us that H1 is acceptable, it means the relationship between knowlwdge and the manner of girly teenagers in facing menstrual pain. We hope the health workers more actively giving education about menstrual pain.

Trata-se de um estudo que teve por objetivo discutir as implicações e repercussões das pesquisas acerca do knowlwdge base para a formação inicial de professores. Esse campo de pesquisa surge em âmbito internacional na década de 1980 e vem apresentando expressiva profusão e multiplicação dos estudos na área. A importância desses estudos é atribuída, em grande parte, ao seu potencial no desenvolvimento de ações formativas que vão além de uma abordagem acadêmica, envolvendo as dimensões pessoal, profissional e organizacional da profissão docente. Foram analisadas obras de autores de referência na área como Tardif, Gauthier e Shulman. A análise das produções deu-se a partir de dois enfoques: primeiro, buscou-se apreender como definem saberes docentes numa perspectiva conceitual e tipológica e, depois, identificou-se indícios de alternativas de natureza teórica e prática para a formação inicial de professores. O estudo revela que a elaboração de um repertório de conhecimentos para o ensino, tendo como referência os saberes profissionais dos professores tais como estes os mobilizam e utilizam em diversos contextos do trabalho cotidiano, permite a introdução de dispositivos de formação que visem habituar os futuros educadores à prática profissional. Destaca-se a necessidade de garantir que as formações cultural, científica, pedagógica e disciplinar estejam vinculadas à formação prática, consolidando, assim, uma Teoria do Ensino.

Full textAbstract:
Multiliteracies is a pedagogical approach developed in 1994 by the New London Group (NLG) that aims to make classroom teaching more inclusive by addressing cultural and linguistic diversity, and rapid development in communication channel and technology. The purpose of this study was to explore the early grade teachers' perception on multiliteracies pedagogy and their awareness, skills and proficiency on it. We used critical ethnography research design to obtain rich and in-depth data from five years' experienced three early grade teachers through interviews and participant classroom observation in a community school of Nepal. Interviews and class observation of teachers were audio-recorded, and recorded data were transcribed assigning codes, and main two themes were developed in terms of the codes. Regarding understanding and awareness on multiliteracies pedagogy, the findings reveal that the teachers do not have more clear theoretical concept on it. They perceive multiliteracies as being literate not only through reading and writing but also using pictures, signs, symbols and mimics. They are aware in the use of multiliteracies pedagogy to make teaching learning effective but they do not have sufficient skills and proficiency on it. They can apply multiliteracies pedagogy in early grades effectively if their knowlwdge and skills is developed through training and capacity development programme on it.

Tantangan nasional dan global yang dihadapi oleh pendidikan Islam semakin kompleks, khususnya di Indonesia di era global ini, dihadapkan pada problematika filosofis-sosial yang tidak kunjung usai. Ada dua masalah yang dihadapi oleh pendidikan Islam pada tantangan Globalisasi. 1). Sebagai peluang, (globalisasi) satu sisi akan memudahkan pendidikan Islam untuk mengakses berbagai informasi dengan mudah. Juga memudahkan pendidikan Islam untuk menyebarluaskan (diseminasi) produk-produk keilmuan yang memberikan manfaat seluas-luasnya bagi masyarakat. 2). Sebagai tantangan, ternyata globalisasi tidak hanya mempengaruhi tatanan kehidupan pada tataran makro, tetapi juga mengubah tata kehidupan pada tataran mikro, misalnya terhadap ikatan kehidupan sosial masyarakat. Yaitu, Fenomena disintegrasi sosial, hilangnya nilai-nilai tradisi, lunturnya adat-istiadat, sopan santun, dan penyimpangan sosial lainya Dalam tulisan ini, berkesimpulan bahwa, lembaga-lembaga pendidikan Islam secara keseluruhan tetap menjalankan perannya dalam tiga hal pokok: transmisi ilmu-ilmu dan pengetahuan Islam (transmission of Islamic knowlwdge); kedua, pemeliharaan tradisi Islam (maintenance of Islamic tradition); ketiga, kaderisasi calon-calon ulama. Peserta didik tidak hanya menggetahui ilmu-ilmu agama, atau sebaliknya tidak hanya mengetahui pengetahuan umum, dengan demikian, dapat melakukan mobilisasi pendidikan. Disamping itu, para anak didik memiliki keterampilan, keahlian atau life skills khususnya dalam bidang sains dan teknologi yang menjadi karakter dan ciri globalisasi, yang pada gilirannya membuat mereka memiliki dasar-dasar dalam lapangan kerja sebagaimana dituntut di alam globalisasi.

OBJETIVO: Identificar fatores socioeconômicos, ambientais e comportamentais associados ao excesso de peso (EP) em adolescentes por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. MÉTODOS: Foram consultadas seis bases de dados (Lilacs, Adolec, SciELO, Medline via Pubmed, ISI Web of Knowlwdge e Cochrane Library) entre os dias 3 e 13 de janeiro de 2008. Os descritores e respectivos termos MeSH utilizados foram: "sobrepeso", "obesidade", "adolescência", "adolescentes", "fatores de risco", "fatores associados". Foram avaliados artigos em inglês, espanhol e português publicados entre 1997 e 2007, e incluídos estudos observacionais que estudaram adolescentes com idades entre 10 e 19 anos, cujo desfecho era o EP diagnosticado por critérios internacionalmente utilizados. Foram excluídos estudos com base em amostras de conveniência ou que não investigavam fatores sociais, ambientais e psicocomportamentais entre as variáveis independentes. RESULTADOS: Da leitura dos títulos e resumos, e da aplicação inicial dos critérios de elegibilidade, resultaram 202 artigos. A revisão das publicações completas permitiu a inclusão e análise de 56 artigos. Observou-se que o nível socioeconômico associou-se inversamente com o EP em países desenvolvidos e de forma direta em países em desenvolvimento. Dieta para emagrecer, número de horas alocadas em TV/vídeo por dia, mãe e/ou pais obesos e ocorrência de EP na infância associaram-se diretamente com o EP. Foram identificados como fatores protetores o hábito de consumir desjejum e a prática de atividade física. CONCLUSÃO: Variáveis socioeconômicas, comportamentais, familiares e do início da vida associaram-se com EP e estas devem ser consideradas nas intervenções dirigidas para este agravo entre adolescentes.

Full textAbstract:
Since its development in the 1920s, bolting has become the most dominant support method in underground construction. However, because of the geological environment, the design process for roof bolt systems is an art rather than a science. To quantify the selection of bolting systems a MSBT (minimum solid beam thickness) approach was developed. The ultimate goal of this bolt design paradigm was achieved by optimizing bolt length, bolt density, and bolt pretension during installation. The impact of the number of strata layers within bolting range and pretension applied to bolts upon the stability of an opening was investigated using FLAC model. Four statistical models for predicting optimum bolt supports using a minimum solid beam thickness were established, and based on these results, a design criterion was proposed.
To meet support needs in various geological and geotechnical settings, a variety of bolt types have been developed. The installation of such bolt-based support systems is often complex and specialized, and thus imposes a challenge for engineers to identify the specific cause and to take appropriate remedial measures once problems arise. To solve these problems, a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) has been developed. The knowledge base includes the data accumulated from years of laboratory and field investigations conducted by the Mine Safety and Health Administration of the US Department of Labor. A user-friendly Windows-based program was implemented using KAPPA environment. After identifying the problem, the KBES searches its knowledge base and reasons out the most likely, secondary, and other potential causes, then provides solutions according to users' input.
The results of this research are validated and demonstrated using case studies.Ph. D.

The study is based on four half stuctured interviewswhit very experienced pedagogues that work in a compulsory school for children with intellectual disabilities. The four interviews are recorded and adapted. To analyse and expound the data collection, a socio-cultural approach was used. The conclusion of my study was that the pedagogues who work in compulsory school fpr choldren with intellectual didabilities proceed from pupil`s level of development and pupils preundersrandning to consolidate new knowledge. The pedagogues attach particular importance in detailed planning so the education will be clear and structuralized. Communication, pictures and technical equipment are the tools that are used for the knowledge development of the pupils int the compulsory school for children with intellectual disabilities. With a socio-cultural view on teaching the pedagogues work with knowledge development. The teaching occurs during interaction with others. Group education is an aspiration of the pedagogues.

Full textAbstract:
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), a philosopher who became known for the change in the direction of Western philosophical thought, for what he called the awakening of dogmatic sleep, or even the Copernican revolution of thinking, critical philosophy, taught geography at the University of Königsberg of the years of 1756, began his teaching career until 1796, ending his official teaching activities at the university, making a total of 49 geography courses over 40 years of teaching. Geography, therefore, goes through all stages of development of academic teaching and its philosophy, from the pre-critical period before 1781 to the critical period of criticism of the Pure Reason (1781A/1787B), the Practical Rationale (1788) and the Faculty of Judge (1790), showing the irreplaceable role that geography played in the development of its teaching and philosophical activities, to the point of being considered as the knowledge of the world without which one did not advance in critical philosophical, but enlightened and mundane, given space-temporally. Kant, in this sense, develops a close relationship between a philosophy that manifests itself geographically and an eminently philosophical geography. Thus the relation between philosophy and geography and of philosophy with the philosophy of geography professor and philosopher of Königsberg, as well as the nuances that emerge from this relationship, is the central objective of our research endeavor, which will be evidenced by the complexity that geography for Kant is becoming over time, because it is the science that concatenates the relationship between the human being and nature, grounding the human-natural relations within the limits of the frontiers of humanly valid scientific knowledge, the phenomenal, both from the point of view universal and singular view. In the development of the research, we go through works that extend from the years 1755 to the post-Third Critical period of 1790, showing that the spatio-temporal, geographical, natural-human relationship of Kant's world knowledge is established by a dynamic, which results in a systematicity and an organicity that is not only mechanical-causal but also teleological, which lacks observation, description and explanation, therefore, of a geographical philosophy and a philosophical geography, without which one does not learn to philosophize, therefore, it does not become clarifies and does not become a geographical citizen of the world.Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), filósofo que ficou conhecido pela mudança nos rumos do pensamento filosófico ocidental, por aquilo que ele chamou de “despertar do sono dogmático”, ou ainda de “revolução copernicana do pensar”, a filosofia crítica, lecionou geografia na universidade de Königsberg dos anos de 1756, início de sua carreira docente, até 1796, fim de suas atividades oficiais de docência na universidade, perfazendo um total de 49 cursos de geografia ao longo de 40 anos de ensino. A geografia, portanto, passa por todas as etapas de desenvolvimento docente acadêmico e de sua filosofia, desde o período chamado de pré-crítico, antes de 1781, ao período crítico, das críticas da Razão Pura (1781A/1787B), da Razão Prática (1788) e da Faculdade de Julgar (1790), mostrando o papel insubstituível que a geografia teve no desenvolvimento de suas atividades docentes e filosóficas, ao ponto de ser considerada como o conhecimento do mundo sem o qual não se avançava ao filosofar crítico, não escolar, mas esclarecido e mundano, dado espaço-temporalmente. Kant, nesse sentido, desenvolve uma relação estreita entre uma filosofia que se manifesta geograficamente e uma geografia eminentemente filosófica. Assim, a relação entre filosofia e geografia e desta com a filosofia no pensamento do professor de geografia e filósofo de Königsberg, bem como as nuances que dessa relação emergem, é o objetivo central de nossa empreitada investigativa, que será evidenciada pela complexidade que a geografia para Kant vai se tornando ao longo do tempo, por ser a ciência que concatena a relação entre o ser humano e a natureza, fundamentando as relações humano-naturais dentro dos limites das fronteiras do conhecimento científico humanamente válido, o fenomênico, tanto do ponto de vista universal quanto singular. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa, passamos por obras que se estendem dos anos de 1755 ao período pós Terceira Crítica de 1790, mostrando que a relação espaço-temporal, geográfica, natural-humana, do conhecimento do mundo em Kant se estabelece por uma relação dinâmica, que resulta em uma sistematicidade e uma organicidade que é não só mecânico-causal, mas também teleológica, que carece de observação, descrição e explicação, portanto, de uma filosofia geográfica e de uma geografia filosófica, sem a qual não se aprende a filosofar, logo, não se esclarece e não se torna um cidadão geográfico, do mundo.

Knowledge management has become an important asset in organization because of the global competition and the rapid development of information technology and network. Organizational memory is a key issue of knowledge management and it achieves the reuse of knowledge by acquiring, organizing, and distributing knowledge. Because the geographic distribution of organizations, it is difficult to achieve the acquisition, organization, and distribution of knowledge by using traditional information technology such as E-mail or file server and so on. Agent technology may be a suitable solution to organizational memory because of its autonomy and collaboration. But, the communication among agents needs protocol to standardize the channels. In this thesis, agent communication language (ACL) is used to exchange messages. Moreover, agent conversation policy can make agent communication more effective and reduce the network overhead. This thesis proposes an efficient communication approach to agent-based knowledge management systems.

This was the virtual environment in which we proposed to start our project. The research deals with the topic Communication in the teaching process and the importance of Learning Communities and its objective was to observe how informal Communication can potentiate the emergence of a Learning Community. The method chosen for our research was the e-learning Case Study. The collection of data was carried out through the discourse analysis of different modules of the discipline on which we conducted a discourse analysis and the obtained data were complemented with semi-directive interviews. Theoretically supported by Vigotsky’s model of constructivist learning and by the concepts of Communities of Practice preconized by Wenger and Lave. We notice that informal communication has a high impact on relationships, facilitating and strengthening interpersonal relationships as well as relationships of belonging, despite not being, by themselves, enough to keep a Learning Community together

This study explored indigenous medicinal knowledge of Phonda in the Vhembe District. It has been noticed that phonda is becoming a scarce crop. The objectives entail seeking to solicit information on the uses of phonda, to understand the attitudes of local households towards phonda and to establish what can be done to restore the cultivation of phonda. The study used qualitative method involving unstructured interviews to collect and thematically analyse data. Purposive sampling and snowballing methods were used to make up the study sample. From literature, it is known that traditional health practitioners used phonda for treatment of certain diseases and illnesses. Phonda is no longer common, but the study sought to encourage the cultivation of phonda. The study employed an Afrocentric paradigm of social change as the conceptual framework. The study found that many households no longer plough phonda as they used to in the past. The study recommends that people should be educated on the importance of phonda to encourage them to plough it. Additionally, the researcher recommends further studies into different purposes of phonda and areas to boost its farming.

MAASCentre for African Studies
The aim of the study was to examine the challenges experienced at male initiation schools in the Eastern Cape Province, Mthatha District. It is alleged that during the month of June every year, some boys die at initiation schools mostly in Eastern Cape Province. One of the reasons of the cause of death is because some of them attend illegal initiation schools. The overall objectives were to explore the role of initiation schools, to assess the regulations that govern the opening and running of initiation schools, to identify palliatives that can be put in place to curb negative implications at initiation schools. The study was founded on the following theoretical framework to attain its findings; the socio-cultural theory. This study utilised the qualitative research design. Data collection methods included one-on-one interviews, un-structured interviews and focus groups. The study informants were selected using purposeful sampling technique and snow-balling sampling. The study of examining the challenges experienced at male initiation schools submits appropriate recommendations which may help in the effective indigenous knowledge management, curb unethical practices and challenges associated with the running of male initiation schools and sharing strategies in South Africa, other African countries and the world at large, particularly communities that still follow the cultural practice of male initiation. The study recommends that parliamentary legislative framework (policy) on initiation rite should be standardised and promulgated. Also, traditional leadership must have the powers over all matters of initiation rite and initiation schools in particular. Lastly, the study recommends that for future research, the use of male researchers would be advisable to allow more probing.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper reports preliminary results from a technique used to study inter and intra group information exchanges which occur in the conceptual stages of collaborative group design. In the early stages of conceptual design, there is little information to guide the designers and they find themselves groping to find pertinent information which may help them. In collaborative group design the members are able to pool in both their knowledge as well as knowlwdge from other groups. Currently there are no techniques, which exist, to help track this group information exchange. In this paper, we use the sense-making theory to guide us in assessing the information needs of the designers engaged in group collaborative design. In this study, the sense-making theory is described and adapted for applications in the engineering design domain. The analysis technique is a two step process. First the records are transcribed and labeled and then interpreted. The technique allows one to obtain a chronological map of the information seeking, helps obtained, and the decisions made. Results from the first design session show that during the early phases of group design, the most needs arose in establishing the knowledge base and in identifying the design process. There was a strong need for inter and intra group information exchange.
