{"title":"Pedagogical Supervision at Cape Verdean Legislation - The Development of a Scale to its First Psychometric Evidence","authors":"Euclides Manuel Lopes Furtado","doi":"10.21275/sr231019034230","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21275/sr231019034230","url":null,"abstract":": In this article, we focus on pedagogical supervision, which is one of the competencies of SPs in Cape Verde, having as anchors Decree-Law n.º 8/2019 and Decree-Law n.º 9/2019 - both published on February 22 – for the design and description of an explanatory model with four factors. We understand that after 4 years of publication of these diplomas, it was already justified to analyse whether the guidelines contained in these diplomas have contributed to improving the practice of pedagogical supervision, at a time when schools' biggest challenge is to promote inclusion. The article describes the process of developing a performance assessment instrument and the results of a pilot study with 66 teachers working in a school group, some of whom are also subject coordinators and/or class directors. The design is mixed, although the quantitative approach stands out more, since the instrument developed and applied is a questionnaire survey, which includes only closed questions, including those referring to professional variables and the 32 items that make up the construct. Among the findings, we highlight: (i) except for some limitations to be overcome in future studies, involving more expressive samples, the validity and reliability of the instrument were confirmed; (ii) teachers who are part of the pedagogical supervision team do not have training in any of the areas required by legislation and never participate in training on inclusive education and/or the use of digital technologies; (iii) the two diplomas brought extraordinary gains to the exercise of the pedagogical supervision.","PeriodicalId":87283,"journal":{"name":"International journal of science and research methodology","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135548253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The consequences of being HIV positive results in rejection on the part of family and friends. The present study was conducted to gain deeper understanding of the lived experiences of HIV positive mothers and to explore psychological and psychosocial issues in relation with HIV positive status of the mothers. Phenomenological qualitative design was used, 10 HIV positive mothers were selected using purposive sampling technique as per the pre determined inclusion criteria. Semi structured interview schedule was used for data collection. Voice recording of the conversation was done; the transcript was then thematically analyzed using open code 4.02 software. Coding and categorization of the transcript was done using the software, based on that major 6 themes were emerged. The findings of the study revealed certain themes like initial impact of being HIV positive, components influencing familial harmony, birthing and mothering experience after being diagnosed as HIV positive, multifarious support system, deprived of psychosocial support, cognizance of numerous therapeutic and restorative measures related to HIV. Living with HIV is a serious concern because it subjects individual to constant stress and fears of various kinds.","PeriodicalId":87283,"journal":{"name":"International journal of science and research methodology","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135548263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their managementhad evolved based upon our knowledge. Currently there’s no well established definition of the scar and many of the definitions are based upon highly subjective criteria. We are here introducing an introductory model of obtaining objective assessments of scar based upon mechanical assessment. Assessment is important in management in the case of dermatology and plastic surgery as well as for decision machining in forensic medicine.","PeriodicalId":87283,"journal":{"name":"International journal of science and research methodology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135548447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, these nodes rely on limited energy sources, often in the form of non-rechargeable batteries. The duration for which a WSN can operate, usually measured in days, depends on several factors, including the duty cycle, deployment scenario, and state of charge (SoC) of their batteries. To deal with the challenge of constrained energy availability, an innovative solution that harnesses ambient solar energy to recharge the batteries of WSN nodes has been suggested. However, the successful implementation of solar energy harvesting faces numerous challenges, including variations in temperature, solar panel efficiency, difficulties in solar energy forecasting, power interruptions, and various environmental and natural factors. The primary purpose of this study is to extend the lifespan of WSN networks through the application of solar energy harvesting techniques. MATLAB simulations has been done to prove the suggested solution for reliability and energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks by effectively utilizing solar energy resources.","PeriodicalId":87283,"journal":{"name":"International journal of science and research methodology","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135548478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional paradigms centered on batch processing in on-premise data warehouses must be revised for emerging real-time, large-scale use cases. This paper examines modern data engineering challenges, including complex distributed architectures, diverse data types, speed and agility demands, skills shortages, governance needs, and accessibility requirements. Current innovations in cloud computing, data lakes, streaming architectures, metadata management, machine learning automation, and self-service platforms are highlighted as strategies to address these challenges. However, more than technology is required. The paper emphasizes the critical importance of developing new data-driven cultures, processes, and organizational structures. Success requires a holistic approach encompassing technological capabilities, data literacy programs, collaborative workflows, and leadership commitment to an analytics-first mindset. Though daunting obstacles remain, the purposeful evolution of paradigms can unlock tremendous latent value in ever-growing data assets.","PeriodicalId":87283,"journal":{"name":"International journal of science and research methodology","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135548531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
