Avoiding ruptures in educational trajectories due to social problems demands synergic actions between social policy and educational policy. This research gives an account of the elements that affect the articulation between these two policies, based on an instrumental case study that deepens the difficulties in the implementation process of the commitments assigned by the policy of prevention and eradication of child labor to the system educational. For the reconstruction of the case, policy documents of the last two decades were analyzed and 42 actors were consulted at different levels of the education and protection system in Colombia and Bogotá. It is found that the knowledge and interpretation of child labor, the articulation between the different levels of the educational system, and the technical and operational capacity of the actors that must implement the actions established by the policy of prevention and eradication of child labor inside the educational institutions, are indispensable factors to respond in a pertinent way to the reality of working students.

El presente trabajo aborda el tema de los significados que los educadores otorgan a laevaluación y su contribución a la formación integral de los educandos. Para tal fin, se toma como punto de partida el análisis del significado Intención, que los maestros asignan al objeto de estudio. El objetivo planteado para este (significado) es Interpretar la intencionalidad de la evaluación dada por el docente. Teniendo en cuenta su relación con la formación integral de los estudiantes en diferentes niveles de formación de cuatro instituciones educativas ubicadas en Villavicencio, Cartagena y Bogotá. Las autoras optaron por la investigación cualitativa con enfoque hermenéutico mediante la utilización del estudio de caso. Las unidades de trabajo son los maestros participantes en las entrevistas semi estructuradas; en cuanto a la unidad documental se trabajó con el Sistema Institucional de Evaluación (SIE) de las entidades involucradas. Las interpretaciones permitieron generar algunas consideraciones que sirvieron de pilares para reflexiones finales, en aras de contribuir a la construcción de nuevos saberes, para favorecer elejercicio de la práctica docente en miras de una evaluación cuya intención sea la de promover la formación integral de los educandos. Donde la primera (evaluación) es entendida como un proceso de asimilación del aprendizaje que de acuerdo a la forma enque es enfocada trasciende en el desarrollo de las dimensiones del ser humano.ABSTRACT:This paper addresses the issue of the meanings that teachers attach to the evaluation and its contribution to the integral formation of students. To this end, we take as a starting point the analysis of Intent meaning that teachers assign to the object of study. Our goal for this meaning is to interpret the intent of the evaluation given by the teacher. Given its relationship to the integral formation of students at different levels of training of four educational institutions located in Villavicencio, Cartagena and Bogota.  The authors chose the hermeneutic approach qualitative research using case study. Work units are teachers participating in semi-structured interviews, about the documentary unit worked with the Institutional System of Evaluation (SIE) of the entities involved. Interpretations allowed generating some considerations that served as pillars for final thoughts, in order to contribute to the construction of new knowledge, to promote the exercise of teaching practice in view of an assessment is intended to promote the integral formation of learners. Where the first (assessment) is understood as a process of assimilation of learning according to the way that is focused on developing beyond the dimensions of the human being.

This study investigates how the cultural identity of a Muslim woman with hijab (hair scarf) is perceived in Second Life (SL), a virtual and visual cultural site, through a case study that the author experienced during this research. The findings reflect different levels of reaction leaning more toward rejection and indifference rather than acceptance. I conclude that there is a need to establish an educational curriculum in SL about Islam and Muslims. This could be accomplished through a collaborative endeavor between Muslims, non-Muslim educators and educational institutions in order to promote “negotiation rather than negation” between different cultures to bring better understanding, respect, and appreciation to the for “Other.”

Abstract Working students face many challenges: they must balance work, school, extracurricular activities, and personal life. Several studies reflected the fact that this balancing act goes hand-in-hand with the level of stress. The scope of the study was to find out whether working students in the Faculty of Engineering Sibiu experience different levels of stress compared with the non-working students. Eighty students from the third year of studies were interviewed regarding the research topic. The interviewed students were randomly selected, five working and five non-working students from each of the eight faculty specializations. The results of the study reflect the fact that the management of the faculty and the professors themselves must take into consideration that stress is a factor that affects students’ performance and behavior.

California policymakers passed the Student Equity Policy, requiring all community colleges to develop a “student equity plan” that identified outcome disparities for select student groups, including racial/ethnic students. Through an instrumental case study, I examined Huerta College because their equity plan stood out for its focus on addressing Latinx transfer inequity. I spent two years interviewing implementers, observing equity meetings, and collecting documents that served as artifacts of implementation. Key to equity planning was a critical mass of Latinx practitioners able to see the policy as an opportunity to tackle one of the greatest inequities on their campus, Latinx transfer. They used the implementation process to propose new projects that would support Latinx students in their journey to transfer from Huerta.

Guidelines related to strategic planning in educational centers are described, particularly in the Arturo Prat Chacón Cadet School (Chile), deepening from an equity-centered approach, starting with the Equity Continuum, this with the purpose of advancing towards strategic planning that promotes actions for a critical transformation in schools. From the methodological point of view, the research is situated, of a qualitative descriptive type, of a non-experimental nature, supported by documentary analysis with an instrumental case study. The research contributed to establishing indicators and descriptors that the educational center leader must consider in a strategic planning and implementation process that truly promotes equity, namely: Fluid and transparent communication with all members of the institution; understanding of the cultural differences that affect the lives and learning of the educational community; immersion in the culture and communities that make up the school; valuing the culture, heritage and experiences of the members that make up the educational community; timely attention to critical institutional nodes, where equity and social justice should be the pillars in the statement of objectives of the school.

This paper discusses a digital twin-based approach for designing and redesigning flexible assembly systems. The digital twin allows modeling the parameters of the production system at different levels including assembly process, production station, and line level. The approach allows dynamically updating the digital twin in runtime, synthesizing data from multiple 2D–3D sensors in order to have up-to-date information about the actual production process. The model integrates both geometrical information and semantics. The model is used in combination with an artificial intelligence logic in order to derive alternative configurations of the production system. The overall approach is discussed with the help of a case study coming from the automotive industry. The case study introduces a production system integrating humans and autonomous mobile dual arm workers.

So far, China’s particulate pollution control is principally focused on primary particles and sulfur dioxide from coal combustion. The contribution of ammonia emissions to particulate matter with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5) has been increasingly emphasized. As a world-famous agricultural country with 523 million farmers (2017, National Bureau of Statistics of China), approximately 70.0–90.0% of China’s ammonia emissions come from agriculture. With such a huge population, agriculture industrialization (socioeconomic policies and technology upgrades to reduce ammonia emissions from fertilizers and livestock) has a large potential but is more vulnerable to costs compared to other industries. We need a solution involving both economic benefits and environmental protection. For this purpose, we sent out an anonymous questionnaire consisting of 16 questions to 420 farmers and conducted a field visit survey in a rural area of Jiangsu Province. Through statistical analysis, we found that the use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture, which are an important source of ammonia through volatilization, is normal (200/420 × 100% = 47.62% of farmers use such fertilizers). Among the 420 farmers surveyed, 90.71% of them have knowledge of air pollution from agricultural activities and 92.15% of them have certain understanding of agricultural industrialization policies, indicating that coordinated control of ammonia emissions can be achieved together with policy propaganda. Through factor analysis and correlation analysis, we find that the early propaganda of policies can help farmers to be more willing to accept the policies. The correlation coefficient between awareness of pollution and policy approval is 0.94, and that between policy publicity and policy approval is 0.95. Generally speaking, the promotion of policies is worth carrying out during the implementation process.

Abstract Background Specific factors that facilitate or prevent the implementation of enhanced recovery protocols for colorectal cancer surgery have been described in previous qualitative studies. This study aims to perform a concurrent qualitative and quantitative evaluation of factors associated with successful implementation of a care pathway (CP) for patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods This comparative mixed methods multiple case study was based on a sample of 10 hospitals in 4 European countries that implemented a specific CP and performed pre- and post-implementation measurements. In-depth post-implementation interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals who were directly involved. Primary outcomes included protocol adherence and improvement rate. Secondary outcomes included length of stay (LOS) and self-rated protocol adherence. The hospitals were ranked based on these quantitative findings, and those with the highest and lowest scores were included in this study. Qualitative data were summarized on a per-case basis using extended Normalization Process Theory (eNPT) as theoretical framework. The data were then combined and analyzed using joint display methodology. Results Data from 381 patients and 30 healthcare professionals were included. Mean protocol adherence rate increased from 56 to 62% and mean LOS decreased by 2.1 days. Both measures varied greatly between hospitals. The two highest-ranking hospitals and the three lowest-ranking hospitals were included as cases. Factors which could explain the differences in pre- and post-implementation performance included the degree to which the CP was integrated into daily practice, the level of experience and support for CP methodology provided to the improvement team, the intrinsic motivation of the team, shared goals and the degree of management support, alignment of CP development and hospital strategy, and participation of relevant disciplines, most notably, physicians. Conclusions Overall improvement was achieved but was highly variable among the 5 hospitals evaluated. Specific factors involved in the implementation process that may be contributing to these differences were conceptualized using eNPT. Multidisciplinary teams intending to implement a CP should invest in shared goals and teamwork and focus on integration of the CP into daily processes. Support from hospital management directed specifically at quality improvement including audit may likewise facilitate the implementation process. Trial registration NCT02965794.
