Objective: The impact of socio-economic factors on the increased incidence of chronic diseases requires changes in the policy of health authorities. In view of that, the study tried to investigate the role and consequences of those factors on T2DM and thus contribute to future development of comprehensive programmes for screening, diagnostics and treatment. Methods and materials: Forecasting the incidence rates of diabetes on a national and regional scale using regression analysis of results from municipal programs between 2015 and 2019 in Varna. The following models were studied: linear, cubic, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, power, growth and inversion. Data processing and analysis were performed with the software set SPSS Statistics and graphical analysis with Microsoft Excel. Results: A constant rise in the number of diabetes cases was identified. At national level, mortality among females was higher than mortality in males, while at local level (Varna), such correlation was not established. Costs for the studied groups steadily increased during the studied period. Healthcare services for people with diabetes mellitus cost 2.5 times more than that of people without diabetes of the same age group.

Full textAbstract:
The utilization of Islamic social finance instruments is far behind what is expected. To realize its full potential, Islamic social finance instruments must be integrated. This study examined solutions and priority strategies for integrating sustainable Islamic social finance that could be implemented in the short and long term using the Benefit, Opportunity, Cost, and Risk (BOCR) framework, which includes six aspects: Governance, sustainable financing, institutional aspect, human resources, regulations, and supporting technology. This qualitative research employed the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method using the benefit, opportunity, cost, and risk analysis. The data were obtained mainly through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with respondents among academics, practitioners, associations, regulators, and community leaders. The respondents were selected for their expertise and experience in the selected topic. The data were processed using the Microsoft Excel and Super Decision software. There are several findings worth considering from the analysis. First, the highest priority in integrating Islamic social finance aspects are human resources (0.97), regulation (0.86), and technology (0.76). Second, based on the short- and long-term analysis, financial integration through sustainable financing (0.01 and 1.44, respectively) and improving human resource quality through certification and training (0.01 and 1.56, respectively) is a priority solution and strategy to integrate sustainable Islamic social finance. Meanwhile, according to expert judgments, integrating national data (0.24) and optimizing technology use (0.18) are priority solutions and strategies. The findings emphasize the critical role of improving human resource quality to utilize technology, with experts identifying a national data integration as the most critical solution. As a result, relevant stakeholders are concerned about technology management training for Islamic philanthropic managers, with the goal of maximizing the potential of technology’s growing role and adoption.

Full textAbstract:
This research will develop a groundwater irrigation system performance index model with the aim of identifying the groundwater irrigation system performance index; this information can be used by stakeholders to determine management steps. The research location is in Gunungkidul Regency and includes surrounding areas — acknowledging that the karst aquifer has complex characteristics and non-karst aquifer, namely high heterogeneity as a result of the formation of a groundwater flow system through fractures which eventually becomes completely underground runoff. Screening for the variables was carried out using the smart-PLS (Partial Least Square) tool, which was then analyzed using the GRG (Generalized Reduced Gradient) method which is useful for solving non-linear equations. In this research, it examines the physical aspects, social aspects and management aspects as variables. The groundwater irrigation system performance index model examines 3 (three) variables, namely physical aspects, social aspects, and management aspects, then 11 (eleven) dimensions and 42 (forty two) indicators. The analysis using PLS SEM using smart PLS tools determined that the 3 (three) variables, 11 (eleven) dimensions and 30 (thirty) indicators are interrelated and effective. Whereas by using GRG (Generalized Reduced Gradient) analysis with the solver tool in Microsoft Excel, the most influential weights were obtained from the physical aspects, namely physical infrastructure (0.5782), geological conditions (0.2311), water quality (0.1286) and recharge area conditions (0.0475); the social aspects that obtained the most influential weight are socio-cultural (0.7471) and economy (0.2529); the management aspects that obtained the most influential weights are budgeting (0.2534), plant productivity (0.2270), WUA organizational conditions (0.2090), JIAT management organizational conditions (0.1987) and spatial planning directives (0.0674). In general, the weight of the influence of groundwater irrigation performance for these three aspects is 0.6686 physical aspects, 0.0856 social aspects and 0.2458 management aspects which are formulated into a performance index model for groundwater irrigation systems "Kautsar", namely IL = 0.6686 physical IL + 0.0856 social IL + 0.2458 IL management. For development, further research is needed on the performance index model of the groundwater irrigation system using Geography Information System (GIS) and a software application on android, iOS, or windows operation systems. A groundwater irrigation system performance index that consists of these three aspects is unique and has never been assembled in previous studies; it conveniently allow the user to determine survey results immediately.

Full textAbstract:
The "Software as a Service" (SaaS) model of cloud computing popularized online multiuser collaborative software. Two famous examples of this class of software are Office 365 from Microsoft and Google Workspace. Cloud technology removes the need to install and update the software on end users' computers and provides the necessary underlying infrastructure for online collaboration. However, to provide a good end-user experience, cloud services require an infrastructure able to scale up to the task and allow low-latency interactions with a variety of users worldwide. This is a limiting factor for actors that do not possess such infrastructure. Unlike cloud computing which forgets the computational and interactional capabilities of end users' devices, the edge computing paradigm promises to exploit them as much as possible. To investigate the potential of edge computing over cloud computing, this paper presents a method for engineering interactive collaborative software supported by edge devices for the replacement of cloud computing resources. Our method is able to handle user interface aspects such as connection, execution, migration, and disconnection differently depending on the available technology. We exemplify our approach by developing a distributed Pictionary game deployed in two scenarios: a nonshared scenario where each participant interacts only with their own device and a shared scenario where participants also share a common device, including a TV. After a theoretical comparative study of edge vs. cloud computing, an experiment compares the two implementations to determine their effect on the end user's perceived experience and latency vs. real latency.

Full textAbstract:
Clever decision making in the selection of building materials is a topic that focuses on important aspects of the building industry. The materials used in the facade of the building not only affect the appearance of the building and the city but also affect the environmental, social, economic, energy efficiency and other kinds of aspects. Considering the importance of this issue, in this research, the city of Tehran was studied in terms of building materials and tried to solve the problems of Tehran by identifying and analyzing the current situation. Statistical analysis was performed using R software packages version 3.5.0 and Microsoft Excel. The most important result of the data is that travertine has been identified as the most commonly used material in Tehran since the past 10 years. In this research, after examining the various types of materials used in the facade of the buildings in Tehran, we seek to discover the relationship between the type of building materials and the building age. In addition, after examining sample buildings, several common types of combinations of materials have been presented in the facades of Tehran's buildings. Keywords: building materials, building facade, travertine

Full textAbstract:
With with rapid change of climate, sustainable diets considering environmental, economic and social aspects of food system emerged as an important concept worldwide. In this study, the college students’ perceptions on sustainable diets were examined to diagnose their level of understanding and to be used for their future education. The basic data were collected from 115 college students taking an on-line class on food and diets in 2020 and 2021 located in Seoul. The word files of each report were analyzed by using Taguette program, an open-source software for qualitative research and Microsoft Excel. The results were as following. Firstly, the words occurred in the respondents’ mind by sustainable diets were health, environment, being eco-friendly, nutrition/nutrients in order. Abstract concepts occurred by sustainable diets were Health and nutrition, environment and being eco-friendly, and definite concepts related with food were vegetables, organic/no pesticide vegetables, local food, fruits, cooked rice for positive aspect and fast food/instant food, food waste for negative aspect. Secondly, the phrases describing the characteristics of sustainable vs non-sustainable diets were suggested as eco-friendly vs environmental contamination/destroy, health vs non-health, nutritionally balanced diet vs non-balanced diet/diet, eating proper amount vs overeating/eating at night, natural food vs processed food, vegetarian diet/vegetables vs meat diet/meat. Based on the results, the respondents seemed to perceive that sustainable diets are eco-friendly, healthy and nutritionally balanced diets by consuming proper amount of natural or vegetable food rather than process food. Thirdly, the definition of sustainable diets described as a sentence could be categorized into 9 groups by the key words of environment, health, and future. And the most frequent one was a diet that protects environment as well as human health. Above results showed that the respondents do not perceive social and economic aspects of sustainable diets other than envrionment and health when compared with the defition of FAO, the 3rd National Food Education Plan and concept of sustainability. Therefore, social and economic aspects of sustainable diet along with environment and health should be stressed and further education needs to be provided for college students to practice sustainable diets in their daily life.

Abstract Background Epilepsy is still being considered as a social stigma especially in developing countries such as India. This study was conducted to analyze the problems faced by married women with epilepsy in various aspects of personal and social life. Objectives The main purpose of this article is to study the psychosocial problems, drug compliance, clinical course, attitude of in-laws, and effect of epilepsy on pregnancy and its outcome in married women with epilepsy in Indian scenario. Design, Materials, and Methods This is a prospective observational study including 100 patients. Questionnaire-based face-to-face interview of all the patients was conducted. Patients were divided into informed and concealed groups and various attributes and their significance were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-20.0 and Microsoft Office Excel software. Results Out of 100 patients, a total of 58 (58%) patients had informed prior to marriage, while 42 (42%) concealed it. Attitude of husband was negative in 33% (14 out of 42) of concealed group and was statistically significant (p = 0.03). Statistically significant adverse marital outcome was observed in concealed group and Muslim community (p = 0.0001). Majority of the patients in both groups (86%) opined that it should be disclosed prior to marriage. Conclusion In a developing country such as India, epilepsy is still considered a social stigma that can manifest as felt or enacted stigma. Previous studies clearly indicate increasing awareness. Social stigma associated with epilepsy can only be eliminated with collaborative efforts of healthcare professional, government, and general public.

Full textAbstract:
This text is a report from research on selected aspects of the crisis of democracy in Poland. The problem of the analysis focuses on questions about the attitude of the participants in the political dispute towards opponents, the possibility (and method) of reaching an agreement and the assessment of the situation. I chose the area of analysis considering social media a transparent platform for political dispute (especially during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic). The essence of the research was to find respondents clearly involved in the political dispute. I choose Facebook, among the other things, because this platform creates a place of many actively operating thematic groups which gathers supporters of particular political options. This fact facilitate reaching respondents with the preferred characteristics. The survey was conducted in the period 13/12/2020 to 25/01/2021 on the basis of the author’s form consisting of 15 questions. The research sample consists of 220 respondents: 126 women and 94 men aged 14 to 72 years old. Appropriately for the nature of the variables and the sample size, the contingency coefficient and the Kruskal-Wallis test were calculated, together with the statistical significance of the obtained results. All analyzes were performed on the basis of SPSS software version 26 and Microsoft Excel.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Overall, children less than five years old are seen more by a physician than a dentist. Physician need more knowledge and skills to address children’s oral health due to the prevalence of dental diseases, the racial and socioeconomic disparities in disease burden, and the restricted access to dental care for many children. Thus, integrating oral health disease prevention and promotion strategies into these medical professionals’ practice becomes essential.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of graduating medical students of Nepal towards infant oral health.
Methods: A self-administered questionnaire included questions on knowledge and attitude regarding infant oral health was distributed to 180 final year MBBS students of Nepal. Data were collected and entered in Microsoft Excel sheet and analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 23.36 ± 1.12 years. Only 23.9% of them knew that dental caries is infectious and transmissible from mother to baby and 38.9% were aware of the association of poor maternal gum health and preterm, low birth weight baby. Almost 73.9% knew that gum pads should be cleaned regularly and 46.1% knew that first dental visit of a child should be as soon as the first tooth erupts.
Conclusion: This study shows that graduating medical students of Nepal were knowledgeable about some aspects of early childhood caries and infant oral health, but uncertain about other aspects like the association between poor maternal gum health and premature low birth weight babies.

Background: Adolescence is the transition period between childhood and adulthood where rapid physical, mental, emotional and social development takes place. Adolescent girls are at greatest risk for nutrient deficiency and it badly affects their overall development. With this background this study was conducted to study some aspects of the socio-demographic profile and to assess the nutritional status of adolescent girls by anthropometry in a rural area of a district. Methods: It was a community based cross sectional study conducted during January 2015 to June 2015 in 10 villages of a district. 583 adolescent girls were interviewed using pre designed, pretested questionnaire and anthropometric examination was done. Results were analyzed with the help of Microsoft Excel 2007 and SPSS version 16.0 statistical software. Results: Mean age of the study population was 13.95±2.48 years. Majority (63.12%) were Hindu and belonged to nuclear family (54.72%). 45.63% were educated up to high school level. Most of the girls belonged to socio economic class IV (45.46%). The prevalence of underweight and stunting in this study was 36.54% and 48.37% respectively. Statistically significant association was found between underweight and marital status of adolescent girls (p=0.029). The association of age group, religion and educational status with stunting was statistically significant (p<0.05). Mean BMI of the total 583 study subjects was 17.66±2.42 kg/m2. The prevalence of thinness was 18.87% in this study, significantly associated with religion, type of family and socioeconomic status (<0.05). Conclusions: Since the prevalence of under nutrition was high among adolescent girls in our study, appropriate health education and nutrition intervention should be directed towards them to improve their nutritional status.

Full textAbstract:
The sustainability of green buildings has been widely recognized around the world in the recent past. Evaluating the investment on such buildings, with higher complexity than the conventional buildings, involves multiple and diverse stakeholders, such as consultants, contractors, general public, governmental institutions, etc. The selection of useful value creation drivers is a difficult task while accommodating the opinion of a group of stakeholders with varying perceptions and experiences regarding the value creation in green building design and the associated costs. In this research, a framework is proposed to develop a set of the most important value creation drivers (VCDs) for green buildings. Five primary VCDs were developed to cover the financial, functional, operational, environmental, and management aspects of a green building. Ninety-eight (98) performance value drivers (PVDs) were identified through the literature for assessing the performance of these value creation drivers. The identified PVDs were evaluated through a hand-delivered questionnaire survey, followed by detailed statistical analysis of the collected data while using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel software. Factor analyses were performed to eliminate the PVDs with least importance based on the responses obtained from 89 experienced managers (45%), engineers (38%), and architects (17%) working in the field of value management of construction industry in Saudi Arabia. Finally, 51 most important PVDs were grouped into two clusters for each value creation driver; for instance, control and planning clusters to assess the performance of management’s VCD. The final outcome of the research in the form of five top level VCDs, 10 clusters, and 51 PVDs will facilitate the designers for enhancing the performance efficiency and value from investment for green buildings in Saudi Arabia, Gulf, and elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionAn increasing number of patients are living with fatigue, pain and other sequelae after cancer. About 30% of these patients express a need for physical rehabilitation and patients prefer to be involved in medical decision-making. This includes being offered individualised treatment with patient-defined goals and education during all aspects of treatment by physiotherapists with empathic skills. However, physiotherapists are often unaware of the relationship between cancer and its presenting symptoms. This can lead to inappropriate care and unrealistic goalsetting for rehabilitation. This calls for greater attention towards physiotherapist’s treatment and their current perspectives on how treatment can be improved in physiotherapy clinics. The aim of this study is to explore physiotherapists perspectives on barriers, facilitators and potential solutions to improve the care of sequelae after cancer in physiotherapy clinics.Methods and analysisThis is a qualitative interview study using individual semistructured interviews with physiotherapists using a phenomenological approach to explore their lifeworld at work. We will recruit physiotherapists working in private clinics based on a variation in gender and years of working experience in private clinics. We will conduct between 10 and 16 interviews online via Microsoft Teams and thematically analyse data supported by NVivo software. Interviewing is scheduled to take place from April 2022.Ethics and disseminationThis is a non-intervention and qualitative study, and the local Ethics Committee in the North Denmark Region has stated that their approval is not needed. Informants will provide a written informed consent. Study information will be sent to the informant at least 3 days prior to the interview session and information will be summarised by the interviewer before the interview.Aside from publication, results will be disseminated by two teaching institutions, a regional health care provider and DEFACTUM (a public Danish research institution focusing on increasing social equality in health).

Information and communication technologies as support for the inclusive education are one of the effective tools for the development, education and training of students with special educational needs. The article deals with assistive hardware and software tools that compensate some of the natural functions of the child’s body. The possibilities of modern Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Youtube platforms have been described that make it possible to improve the fulfilment of educational tasks via the settings of keyboard shortcuts, virtual keyboard, word prediction functions, sound signals or screen indicators. The article also highlights the potential of messengers, social networks and e-mails as the most modern and adapted communicators for addressing teaching and educational needs of schoolchildren. The Viber and Facebook instant messaging programs have also been described and were found to be the most widespread means of communication in Ukraine having functions of voice and video calls with the interface adapted to maximize screen readability, allowing to create constructive dialogue between teachers, parents or schoolchildren with special educational needs. The use of ICT in inclusive education for didactic purposes have been presented practically by the LearningApps.org service. Examples of setting objectives for children with mild and moderate mental retardation have been presented, in particular: for pupils who suffer from autistic disorders, for schoolchildren who have problems with auditory or visual perception of information. Providing education through the suggested resource allows to carry out remedial work with children with special educational needs that intensifies their perception and attention, improves their memory and stimulates their motivation for educational activities. Introduction of information and communication technologies encompassing their three aspects - compensatory, communication and didactic purposes - makes it possible to adjust educational programmes and contribute effectively to the development of pupils according to their individuality.

Full textAbstract:
Construction projects are considered crucial in every developed and developing country from the perspective of economic and social development. Thus, it is mandatory to achieve successful completion of the project. Efficient production is one of the significant criteria in ensuring the success of projects. An efficient production, labour productivity is considered an important aspect. Labour productivity is affected by several factors which are essential to study for productivity improvements. Since in Pakistan, labour productivity is one of the least studied areas within the construction industry. Hence, this paper focused on determining the common factors which have influenced the labour productivity. A survey among the construction practitioners included 33 identified factors from literature. A total of 150 questionnaire forms were distributed, and only 54 completed data forms were received back. These forms were used to analyse statistically using frequency analysis with SPSS software and weighted average (WA) calculation with Microsoft Excel application. The results indicated 1 factor as very often occurring, and other 32 factors were reported as often occurring during construction works while WA value for significance revealed that there are seven factors which have extremely significant while other 26 factors lie in the category of very significant. Those seven dominating factors reported as extremely significant are the misuse of schedule, the increase of labourer age, weather changes, tool and equipment shortages, violation of safety precautions, working seven days per week without taking a holiday and lack of financial motivation system.

Jawi is a script for the Malay language. In the constitution, Article 152, states that Malay is the national language of this country. There are two types of writing in Malay, namely Jawi and Rumi. Various studies and analyses have been done by Jawi experts to facilitate the effective teaching of Jawi. The decline of Jawi skills has had a major impact on the proficiency skills of reading and appreciating the holy Book of the Quran among Muslims today. This is because students feel that Jawi writing is not important in daily practice and the usage of Jawi writing is not global. This study aims to identify the extent to which the factors of interest, attitude, and motivation of students towards the mastery of writing Jawi as well as teachers 'teaching methods and environmental factors affect the level of students' mastery of writing Jawi by using the method of Drill. A total of 65 Year Four students at Sekolah Kebangsaan Ladang Sandak were selected as respondents and this study will be conducted for two semesters on respondents, consisting of 38 male students and 27 female students. The data and information obtained in the study will be analysed qualitatively and quantitatively using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), Version 24 software and Microsoft Excel to explain the results of the study. The findings show that the training approach in Jawi Education has very positive implications in the aspect of reading and writing. Hence, this information can help provide an insight to new religious teachers to address the issue of Islamic education students especially in Jawi literacy.

The present work is devoted to the description of the evolution of antimonopoly cases brought against Microsoft by the American, European and Russian antimonopoly authorities. The focus of this work is on assessing the ability of Microsoft as a manufacturer of an operating system that occupies a dominant position that can influence competition in the application software market, including the browser market, antivirus protection and media players. The position in the market of operating systems is closely related to the presence of direct and indirect network effects. It was found that in most cases Microsoft was accused of obtaining vertical restrictions and related sales in order to restrict competition. In addition, in later antitrust cases against Microsoft, there has been an increasing focus on behavioral aspects.

Software has become ubiquitous in higher education, especially often taken-for-granted Microsoft Word. Educational writing involves more than horizontal lines of text, but also multimodal representations. When students write in Word, the affordances of the program constrain what multimodal representations of knowledge they can and cannot make. Software such as Word is not neutral tool-kits, but also historical and semiotic constructs loaded with social values and ideologies. By taking a social semiotic approach to Word and SmartArt, this article shows how this software is pre-loaded with values and styles from office management. These values are then infused into education, in the case this article investigates, grammar models in language studies.

AbstractOne of the factors causing the low score of student learning outcomes Statistics and Probability on midterm exams is that during practice or studying on their own, students feel the complexity of solving questions about data analysis in Statistics and Probability courses and the difficulty of obtaining confirmation of correct answers. This encourages to find alternative solutions. One of them is using Excel and Statistical Program of Social Science (SPSS) software in Statistics and Probability learning. The purpose of this research is to improve the learning outcomes of Statistics and Probability using Excel and SPSS software. The method used in this research is the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Samples were selected using the Cluster Random Sampling technique. To see if there is an increase in learning outcomes, it is done by comparing the average learning outcomes of the midterm exams (before using Excel and SPSS software) and final semester exams (after using Excel and SPSS software). The results of the Wicoxon test showed Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 less than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the pretest and posttest means are significantly different. This shows that there is an increase in learning outcomes before and after learning using Excel and SPSS software, so it is concluded that student learning outcomes in Statistics and Probability courses can be improved through learning by using Excel and SPSS software. Keywords: excel; learning outcomes; software; SPSS Abstrak Salah satu faktor penyebab rendahnya nilai hasil belajar Statistik dan Probabilitas mahasiswa pada ujian tengah semester disebabkan pada saat latihan atau belajar sendiri.

<p>O crescente aumento na exigência dos consumidores por alimentos seguros, de qualidade nutricional e sem produtos químicos, somado a busca por uma agricultura ambientalmente sustentável alavancou o desenvolvimento da produção de alimentos agroecológicos, produzidos por agricultores familiares em sistemas orgânicos, no qual se utiliza materiais e tecnologias contidas no próprio agroecossistema familiar, enaltecendo-se um sistema complexo e produtivo no qual os subsistemas se interligam, eliminando a utilização de insumos externos. O estudo sobre características do mercado de produtos agroecológicos enaltece a produção. Nesse propósito, objetivou-se com este trabalho caracterizar feirantes agroecológicos da cidade de Sousa, Paraíba no que tange aos seus aspectos de transição para utilização de práticas produtivas agroecológicas no cultivo e comercialização dos seus produtos.<strong> </strong>A pesquisa totalizou 17 feirantes entrevistados, sendo realizada durante o mês de maio de 2016. O instrumento utilizado foi questionário semiestruturado contendo questões objetivas e subjetivas a respeito da categorização social e produtivo dos feirantes agroecológicos que comercializam seus produtos semanalmente na feira da referida cidade. Após a coleta dos dados, os mesmos foram tabulados e analisados através dos métodos de distribuição de frequência e posteriormente discutidos por procedimentos de estatística descritiva e confeccionados gráficos no Microsoft Software Excel 2010.<strong> </strong>Através dos dados observados, o perfil de faixa etária e de sexo dos feirantes agroecológicos de Sousa, PB, ficou caracterizado de modo geral, dentre os 17 entrevistados, 17,65% entre 20 a 30 anos de idade, 47,06% dos 30 a 40 anos, 17,65% dos 40 a 50 anos, 11,76% de 50 a 60 anos, e apenas 5,88% acima de 60 anos de idade. Desses, 41,18% do sexo masculino e 58,82% do sexo feminino. Quanto ao grau de escolaridade, 5,88% responderam que são analfabetas, 41,18% não concluíram o ensino fundamental e 11,76% disseram ter concluído, 41,18% responderam que já concluíram o ensino médio. Sobre o que incentivou a produção agroecológica, a maioria (82,35%) respondeu que foi por motivos de saúde, já que a forma agroecológica se trata de um processo sem uso de produtos químicos. Verificou-se que 94,11% dos produtores comercializam os seus produtos somente em Sousa e apenas 5,89%, além de Sousa, em outras regiões próximas, além de realizarem entregas nos supermercados. Concluiu-se que os feirantes de Sousa, Paraíba têm consciência do importante avanço socioeconômico e ambiental da transição para o modelo de produção agroecológica. Os principais motivos por optarem produzir e comercializar esses produtos nas feiras agroecológicas foi por se tratar de uma forma sustentável de agricultura, além do diferencial na oferta de alimentos saudáveis sem uso de agrotóxicos.</p>

In the presented article, an attempt was made to present a conditional set of services and programs that allow the collection, systematization, statistical processing of data and presentation of results, including visualization (graphs, tables of results, charts, etc.). It is noted that the main trend in the development of modern services is their complexity. As a rule, several operations can be performed using one service (data collection, their primary mathematical processing, visualization, etc.). Therefore, all classifications of such services are rather conditional. A review of certain online services and software packages for capturing, processing and storing data from pedagogical and social research was carried out: Google Sheets, Google Forms, Microsoft Office Excel, STATISTICA, SPSS, online calculators, etc. The advantages and disadvantages of using these services are outlined. It is noted that the use of ICT in pedagogical and social research improves their quality and compliance with modern requirements for the processing of experimental data.

Full textAbstract:
The Covid-19 has had a significant impact on teaching/learning processes around the world. As a result, education practitioners in Jordan and elsewhere have had to adapt quickly and switch to distance education: social media, including Facebook, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Social networks play an indispensable role in teaching/learning French as a Foreign Language, while providing a wide range of authentic materials. They make it easy for students to interact and provide the opportunity to discover online tools to develop their skills. Internet and all other forms of computer-mediated communication help learners to accelerate their acquisition, while being up-to-date and independent. However, as a result of our feedback from the field, it turned out that Zoom and Microsoft Teams play an important role in all kinds of interactions between teacher and students and between students themselves. These two applications allow a live interaction; as the classroom is virtual, participants will have the ability to exchange ideas in a synchronous manner. It is possible to create groups for each given course. In this article, we will try to highlight the positive aspects of using social networks, especially Facebook, to improve the skills of our learners in the French language department at the University of Petra. Then, the use of Zoom will be analyzed. Finally, and based on a theoretical and practical analysis of a group created in Microsoft Teams, the latter will be studied in order to show the positive aspects of any insertion of such an application in the Jordanian context.

Technology has now become integral part of our classrooms worldwide as one of the major means of delivering content to students. This study was to compare the use of some technology software for teaching and learning of science in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. It was conducted in six (6) Colleges of Education in the Central-Western zone. Questionnaire was used to collect data from the college students. The questionnaire consisted of seven (7) types of technology software which comprised of web-based software and non web-based software. Respondents responded according to their degree of acceptance of the use of each software for teaching and learning of science concepts. The findings were analysed using descriptive statistics. One hundred and twenty (120) teacher trainees were used for the study. The study showed that Social Media Platforms, E-mail, Google Classroom and WebQuest technology software were scarcely used for teaching and learning of science in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. It was however, indicated that Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint software were used often for teaching and learning of science.

Computer plant simulation is being used in all aspects of engineering, through many simulation software packages. However, almost all of them require licenses that must be purchased by engineering colleges intending to use simulation in their teaching. As public educational institutions everywhere are facing a scarcity of economic resources, they can resort to a freeware steady-state plant simulator, however, there is no availability of reliable, free dynamic plant simulators. In addition, published experiences on developing dynamic simulators use programming languages requiring paid licenses (e.g. Matlab) and thus have limited relevancy to schools struggling to cut expenses. This article first uses a set of typical college objectives to discuss the advantages of building their own dynamic simulators, and then shows the development of a user-friendly dynamic simulator of a batch reactor constructed entirely within Microsoft Excel, which, in contrast to the programming languages used in related reports, is already widely used by universities around the world.

Current educational processes are unthinkable without the use of information technology. This demand for them forces educational institutions to constantly increase the financial cost of purchasing and maintaining hardware and software. The problem can be partially helped by cloud services, which under certain conditions allow you to save money by directing them only to pay for cloud services, and in the case of using free services - mainly for the educational process.Already now, cloud providers offer quite reliable services to educational institutions for free or for a small fee. The most active providers of cloud services for education globally are Google and Microsoft. They provide educational institutions with a number of free communication tools, such as email, task manager, data storage, word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, etc.

This study aims to assess the feasibility of the Jogjakarta-Semarang railroad reactivation program via Magelang. The research method used is a quantitative method through surveys and qualitative methods using interview techniques. Feasibility is assessed from 4 aspects, namely aspects of need, technical, management and law, and social aspects. The survey results were processed using Microsoft Excel 2010 applications. Qualitative analysis was strengthened by data triangulation techniques. The findings of this study indicate that the Jogjakarta-Semarang railroad reactivation program via Magelang is feasible in two aspects, needs and management and law. While it is considered not feasible according to technical and social aspects. However, reactivation programs should continue to be carried out because future regional developments require alternative modes of transportation. To overcome this, researchers recommend a middle ground, namely 1) Partial reactivation; 2) Development of elevated lines; 3) Policy of swap with additional compensation. Generally, commuters responds positively to railroad reactivation programs, but if the railroad tracks hit a functional building that exists, then commuters have several considerations.
