This article aims to investigate the ways in which secondary mathematics can be taught through a dialogic pedagogy. It is part of Ph. D study which was a study of critical mathematics education oriented towards critical citizenship and democracy. The articles indicates that a dialogic teaching of mathematics is possible if it is integrated with collaborative learning and inquiry-based education.

This paper discusses a conceptual construction plan and assesses Northeastern port facilities for their suitability for the fabrication, assembly, and deployment of 67 turbines on modular concrete foundations for a hypothetical 1-gigawatt offshore windfarm valued at about $3 billion in the New England or New York Bight Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Call Area. The paper defines site and facility criteria for construction, assembly, and storage of the foundations and turbine marshalling. Existing and planned port facilities that can meet these criteria are identified and different hypothetical supply chain scenarios are discussed for these facilities for concrete fabrication based in either New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or Connecticut. The paper gives an indication of the scope and scale needed to prepare East Coast ports for offshore wind.

The Nassau Cruise Port (NCP) is the Bahamas’ largest cruise port and lies in the heart of the capital’s tourist district. It encompasses more than 5,000 linear ft (1,524 m) of existing mooring structures divided into five berths. The port is currently undergoing a major enhancement and expansion to its marine infrastructure enabling the port to serve six cruise vessels simultaneously and to increase the overall tourist traffic to the island. The paper will describe the phased and focused approach implemented by the selected design-build team with the overall goal of setting an example for similar enhancement projects in busy ports. Recently, Global Ports Holdings, the world’s largest cruise terminal operator, won a long-term concession for improving and operating the port. Execution of the marine enhancements was commenced by the project team using a FIDIC Silver Book design-build contract. The team adopted customized solutions for each of the major areas of marine improvements with the goal to provide a 50-year design life. Marine works included the creation of two new marina areas, a mega-yacht berth and improvement of the existing cruise berths including repairs, replacement, expansion of the five existing berths and construction of a new sixth cruise berth. The enhancements involved dredging, repair of existing structures, and construction of a new 700-ft (213 m) long pile-supported pier extension with a mooring dolphin to the east. The new port will receive the latest generation of cruise vessels and accommodate mega yachts at a separate berth. The scope includes reclamation of approximately 4-acres (1.6 hectares), construction of a new tied-back quay wall to lengthen one existing berth, and construction of additional areas for onshore tourist activities. Two new small craft marina areas (one with a new pile-supported restaurant) were built to supplement tourist activities. The project included all facets of maritime works, including demolition, dredging, filling/reclamation, installation of driven piles, installation of cantilever and tied-back combi-wall bulkheads, installation of customized precast solutions, and in situ placement of heavily reinforced marine concrete. The design-build team’s innovative design solutions addressed the site’s challenging geotechnical conditions consisting of limestone of significant variability in both strength and depth. The innovative design approach and construction sequencing effectively overcame the challenge of compromised availability of labor and materials due to the pandemic. Construction of the marine enhancements will be completed in 2022.

[English]: This article investigates ways in which collaborative learning in critical mathematics education can promote critical citizenship and democracy to counter neoliberal hegemony in education. Drawing on critical participatory action research in a U.S. high school classroom, the article argues that collaborative learning in critical mathematics education is a coherent alternative to neoliberal approaches to collaborative learning to promote justice based participatory democracy. 
 Keywords: Critical mathematics education, Collaborative learning, Neoliberal pedagogy, Citizenship, Democracy
 [Bahasa]: Artikel ini menyelidiki bagaimana pembelajaran kolaboratif dalam pendidikan matematika kritis dapat mendorong terwujudnya demokrasi dan sikap warga negara yang kritis untuk melawan hegemoni neo-liberal dalam pendidikan. Merujuk pada penelitian tindakan kelas berbasis partisipasi kritis di kelas sekolah menengah atas di Amerika Serikat, artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran kolaboratif dalam pendidikan matematika kritis merupakan alternatif yang koheren terhadap pendekatan neo-liberal dalam pembelajaran kolaboratif untuk mendorong partisipasi demokratis berbasis keadilan.

ABSTRACT The 24th World Congress of Dermatology was held in Milan, Italy, on June 11–15, 2019, under the auspices of the International League of Dermatological Societies. The Dermatology Nurses' Association and the British Dermatological Nursing Group, both sister societies of the International League of Dermatological Societies, coordinated a nursing scientific program and a half-day leadership meeting held during the World Congress. Overview of the nursing scientific program and outcomes of the half-day leadership meeting are described.

ABSTRACT This article examines research methodologies for classroom-based research in light of the complementary ideas of Freire and Habermas. After reflecting on classroom-based participatory action research in a secondary mathematics classroom, I discuss the suitability of critical participatory action research in critical mathematics education. Critical participatory action research resonates with central concerns of critical mathematics education as it allows researchers to consider emancipatory alternatives to existing situations.
