Published: February 2025

Simulation-based learning (SBL) has become an essential tool in clinical psychology education, fostering competency development through immersive, risk-free training environments. However, traditional simulation methods often lack real-time emotional feedback, accessibility, and scalability. To address these gaps, this study explores the integration of FASSLING, an AI-powered platform, into clinical psychology training. FASSLING offers interactive patient role-play, real-time coaching, and structured debriefing to enhance emotional intelligence, therapeutic communication, and clinical reasoning. The platform's AI-driven feedback mechanisms, with the right prompts, provide immediate insights into trainees' empathy, rapport-building, and intervention accuracy, offering a dynamic learning experience that adapts in real time. Additionally, FASSLINGs unlimited free access removes financial and geographical barriers, democratizing high-quality training for not only mental health professionals, but all helping professionals worldwide. It effectively cultivates highly skilled therapists in a safe, controlled environment, maximizing public benefit without exposing real clients to risk. This paper explores the effectiveness of AI-enhanced simulation training in improving therapeutic competency, highlighting its potential to revolutionize clinical education by bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application. The findings suggest that AI-driven simulation models like FASSLING can significantly enhance skill acquisition, promote ethical decision-making, and foster a more emotionally attuned and competent mental health workforce.

Authors: Oliveira Cláudia Chueire de
Published: February 2025

Este texto tem por objetivo analisar as relações construídas entre ciência, território paranaense e concepção/produção/disseminação dos conhecimentos em humanidades, no âmbito das proposições de fomento da Fundação Araucária de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Estado do Paraná, nos anos de 2000 a 2024. A metodologia de pesquisa exploratório-descritiva ancorou-se nos pressupostos da abordagem qualitativa com auxílio da análise documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas e abertas com seis gestores da Fundação. Os resultados demonstram que: o investimento em humanidades foi evidenciado timidamente, embora a Araucária tenha expandido, de modo gradual, o apoio para os projetos de pesquisadores paranaenses de diversos campos do conhecimento; existe demanda crescente das humanidades, apesar de o fomento não ser correspondente; portanto, cientistas da área necessitam notabilizar seus projetos em interconexões que solicitem maior aporte financeiro. As análises ainda asseguram que é indispensável o detalhamento de informações nos documentos da Fundação Araucária para que as ciências humanas e outras áreas que também carecem de investimentos mais robustos sejam evidenciadas e, consequentemente, contempladas nas diferentes regiões do território paranaense.

Authors: Oguntade Emmanuel , Komolafe Anuoluwapo , Oladimeji Damilare
Published: February 2025

Obesity is a chronic, long-term medical condition that progressively worsens over time. It is a global health concern affecting both developing and developed countries. Historically, obesity was predominantly an issue among adults; however, it has increasingly become a significant problem among children and adolescents in recent years. Numerous studies have investigated the underlying risk factors influencing adolescent obesity using traditional statistical methods. However, the application of machine learning approaches remains underexplored, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study aimed to apply both statistical (Logistic and probit models) and machine learning models to adolescent obesity data from Nigeria to identify key influencing variables and determine the most suitable modeling approach. The data used for this study were secondary data sourced from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2018. The variables analyzed included demographic characteristics and other obesity-related factors. Logistic regression, probit regression, and naïve Bayes models were employed for the analysis. The dataset consisted of a total of 491 studied participants, with 200 (40.7%) being male and 291 (59.3%) females. The summary statistics indicated that the mean age of respondents was 14.55 years, with mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 108.41 mmHg and 71.07 mmHg, respectively. The logistic regression analysis revealed that male adolescents were 5.727 times more likely to be obese compared to females. Additionally, the odds of being obese were 0.84 times lower for adolescents without a family history of obesity. Among the models tested, logistic regression provided the best fit for the data, demonstrating the highest sensitivity (0.8929), specificity (0.8194), area under the curve (AUC = 0.8525), and accuracy (88.80%). This model also had the lowest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC = 317.15) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC = 409.48). The findings of this study indicate that logistic regression is the most suitable model for identifying determinants of adolescent obesity in Nigeria. The results highlight the importance of gender and family history as significant predictors of obesity, which can inform targeted public health interventions. Further exploration of machine learning techniques in this context is recommended to enhance predictive capabilities and support evidence-based decision-making in obesity prevention efforts.

Authors:   Samara State Agrarian University, Bakaeva Natalia P. , Saltykova Olga L. ,   Samara State Agrarian University
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the research is to increase the productivity of winter wheat with various methods of basic tillage. The research was carried out from 2014 to 2022 in the zone of arid agriculture in the experimental field of the Samara State Agrarian University, represented by typical medium-sized medium-loamy chernozem. Winter wheat of the Svet-och variety was cultivated in a five-field grain-steam crop rotation according to the pure steam predecessor. The larg-est biomass of winter wheat plants during the active vegetation period was obtained in years with a sufficient amount of soil moisture and an optimal temperature regime, working in the future to obtain high yields. Thus, the yield in 2017 (hydrothermal coefficient = 1.06) was 4.38 t/ha, in 2022 (hydrothermal coefficient = 0.88) – 5.68 t/ha
(in the phase of milk ripeness r = 0.70 p less 0.05). The survival rate of plants for harvesting was high – 73%, show-ing a direct strong relationship with hydrothermal coefficient (r=0.74 at p less 0.05). The value of the correlation coef-ficient equal to 0.66 (p less 0.05) showed a close correlation between hydrothermal coefficient and yield –
a high hydrothermal coefficient is necessary to form a high yield. As an exception, in 2016, with hydrothermal coeffi-cient = 0.86, the yield averaged 2.69 t/ha, in 2014 with hydrothermal coefficient = 0.34 – 3.08 t/ha, unfavorable condi-tions for wheat in the autumn-winter period led to this result. Depending on the methods of basic tillage, the biomass of plants obtained in the phase of milk ripeness by plowing and loosening exceeded the values by 30-46 g/m2 com-pared to the option without autumn mechanical tillage (in the phase of milk ripeness by all methods of basic tillage,
r = 0.70, p less 0.05). By plowing, plant survival and yield were significantly higher compared to the variants with loosening and without autumn mechanical tillage.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the research is to study the effect of pre-extrusion treatment in changing the biogas output from various types of biomass of bird droppings. The article deals with the application of extruder to increase methane yield in bio-gas production. Extrusion was carried out to improve anaerobic digestion of different types of poultry litter. The ex-truder was tested on three types of agricultural biomass represented by 3 samples of poultry droppings with and without bedding. A single-screw extruder EK-40 was used for the experiment. The extruder was equipped with
a 40 mm diameter working screw, the ratio of screw length to the screw diameter was 4:1, and the temperature re-gime of 140/170 °C was maintained by fixed screw speed. The overall relative increase in methane yield in biomass samples after extrusion was evaluated using analysis of variance. The resulting energy surplus from extruder use was calculated to determine which biomass types benefit most from extrusion. The electrical energy equivalent of methane yield from non-extruded and extruded material was compared after deducting the electrical energy input to the extruder. Samples were analyzed for temperature increase, maximum particle size, biogas release potential, en-ergy release and energy consumption. The extruder treatment increased the biomass temperature by 6-34°C. Large particles (larger than 1 mm) were most affected by extruder treatment. Extrusion accelerated the decomposition of slowly degradable organic compounds and also promoted the decomposition of some organic compounds not de-gradable under normal conditions. Methane yields increased significantly, by 14-70% after 28 days of treatment and by 9-10% after 90 days of treatment. The equivalent of the electrical energy obtained from the methane minus the energy used by the extruder gave energy yields of 13-69% and 6-10% after 28 and 90 days, respectively.

In this study, it was tried to show that it would be appropriate to convey the root values that are aimed to be taught to secondary school students through mythological texts to be taught in Turkish lessons. Myths, which are gripping, intriguing and tell the adventures of characters whose traces can be seen in daily life, appealing to the interests of secondary school students, have been examined as important sources in terms of both being suitable for gaining reading pleasure and contributing to root value education. The research is a qualitative research and it was investigated how mythological texts can contribute to root value education by applying observation, interview, document analysis and survey methods. With the field survey model, the sample was secondary school students and feedback was received from the activities carried out and the data obtained was evaluated. Feedback was received through activities consisting of semi-structured and open-ended questions, and the evaluation of the conversations held in a conversational manner was also included in the study. In the application section, there are six activities to be implemented for six weeks. Each event; It is planned to include a root value activity, writing practice and sample grammar activities, with stories selected from Turkish, Greek, Scandinavian and Egyptian mythologies at the centre, and designed based on this. It was observed whether the selected texts appealed to the students' reading pleasure, feedback was received, and it was tried to determine whether the values were noticed by the students in these texts, which contain many root values. At the end of the study, it was observed that the students were familiar with mythological characters, but they were mostly unaware that they were elements of myth, and after learning this, they approached myths with great interest. Students found the activity texts engaging and interesting. The hidden root values in myths could be identified by students through activities. Writing studies based on myths both contributed to the development of writing skills and provided them with the opportunity to reconcile root values with their daily lives.
Exploring Electron Conversion Efficiency for Biohydrogen in Dark Fermentation
Authors: Yuen Pong Kau , Lau Cheng Man Diana , Yuen Kuok In Gabriel
Published: February 2025

Buswell’s equation for biohydrogen can represent dark fermentation in accordance with the elemental composition of any organic matter. When the empirical formula or structural formula of an organic matter is identified, the theoretical amount of biohydrogen, theoretical biohydrogen potential, theoretical biohydrogen yield, and theoretical number of transferred electrons can be determined. Currently the metrics that measure the biodegradability performance of organic matters in dark fermentation are biodegradability index and energy conversion efficiency. However, the concept of electron conversion efficiency has not been well investigated. The aims of this article are to develop the electron conversion efficiency for biohydrogen to be a metric and explore the relationships between the biodegradability index and the energy conversion efficiency. The article shows that among the three metrics, electron conversion efficiency and biodegradability index are numerically identical, and there is a strong positive correlation between electron conversion efficiency and energy conversion efficiency. In addition, the established electron conversion efficiency functions as a cross-reference for dark fermentation, dark fermentation coupled photochemical system, and electrochemical system under anaerobic conditions.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar obras em língua portuguesa da produção acadêmica dos últimos 12 anos (2011-2023) disponível no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), baseadas na obra Crítica à Razão Dualista / O Ornitorrinco (2003) de Francisco de Oliveira. Trata-se de uma de suas obras mais recentes, na qual o autor aborda a sociedade brasileira no processo de globalização do capital. Os resultados apontam que, durante o período analisado, houve uma predominância de trabalhos acadêmicos publicados em outras línguas no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. Enquanto que, no Brasil, identificou-se a existência de apenas três artigos publicados com base na obra do autor.

Authors: Silva Claudia Virginia Linhares da , Lima Francisco Jozivan Guedes de
Published: February 2025

Este artigo consiste numa investigação de caráter metodológico sobre como a produção científica vem utilizando o termo “aporofobia” (aversão aos mais pobres) – proposto pela filósofa valenciana Adela Cortina em 1995 em seu estudo sobre a pobreza. Aqui serão destacadas as principais temáticas relacionadas ao uso do termo “aporofobia” por meio de indicadores bibliométricos. A bibliometria consiste em um método de análise quantitativa para a pesquisa científica. Com isso, queremos analisar a participação da produção científica brasileira relativa ao tema aporofobia a partir da base “Scopus”, dentro do Portal da Capes. Os dados coletados partem de descritores como "aporofobia" e “Adela Cortina”, analisados no período de 2018 a fevereiro de 2024. As ferramentas métricas utilizadas para avaliação do impacto e da relevância da pesquisa, bem como da confiabilidade desses dados, contribuem para confirmar a participação do Brasil na produção científica brasileira e a relevância e contribuição atual do termo aporofobia para a compreensão dos estudos sobre a pobreza no país. O interesse por esta pesquisa surgiu da necessidade de compreender como o Brasil vem se posicionado academicamente em relação a outros países que publicam sobre o tema. Conforme demonstrado no estudo, países como Chile, Colômbia, México e, principalmente, a Espanha se destacam nos estudos sobre a “aporofobia” para identificar padrões e tendências sobre a discriminação aos pobres.

A prevalência do câncer de boca, sobretudo o carcinoma espinocelular, tem se tornado uma questão cada vez mais relevante em termos de saúde global. O propósito deste estudo é fazer uma revisão da literatura sobre as técnicas de detecção do câncer de boca, com ênfase especial no carcinoma espinocelular, para encontrar as abordagens mais eficientes na identificação precoce da enfermidade. Considera-se que as técnicas de identificação disponíveis, são: avaliação clínica, exames de imagem e biópsia; assim como, os elementos de risco associados à progressão do carcinoma espinocelular estão relacionados ao tabagismo, alcoolismo, fumo de mascar e exposição solar. Destaca-se a importância da detecção precoce da doença para otimizar resultados clínicos e as chances de cura, assim como incentivar o diagnóstico de lesões pré-cancerosas. Salienta-se a necessidade de sensibilização tanto de profissionais da saúde quanto dos pacientes, visando o diagnóstico. Uma abordagem interdisciplinar e multidisciplinar deve visar o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento ágil e completo para a doença.

O Hospital realiza uma combinação complexa de atividades especializadas, nas quais o serviço de Higienização e Limpeza ocupa um lugar de grande importância. O serviço de limpeza hospitalar tem particular importância no controle de infecções, garantindo a desinfecção de áreas hospitalares. Objetivo: relatar a experiencia exitosa na troca de uma empresa contratada de higienização para um serviço próprio. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência, realizado no Hospital Brites de Albuquerque, situado na cidade de Olinda/PE. O processo de implantação/acompanhamento ocorreu no período de setembro de 2024 a janeiro de 2025.Os resultados indicaram uma redução significativa nos custos, de R$ 871.266,60 para R$ 476.464,90, e um aumento no número de profissionais, de 21 para 34. A adoção de protocolos padronizados e treinamentos contínuos contribuiu para a diminuição das taxas de infecção hospitalar, evidenciando a eficácia da gestão própria em melhorar a segurança e a qualidade do atendimento. Conclusão: A substituição da equipe terceirizada pelo modelo de gestão própria na higienização hospitalar demonstrou-se uma estratégia eficaz para reduzir custos e melhorar a qualidade assistencial.

O acúmulo de microrganismos nas próteses quando a higienização protética é insatisfatória, pode fazer com que a cavidade oral seja afetada diretamente. Como consequência, interfere também, na saúde sistêmica causando agravamento no quadro da doença já instalada. O principal objetivo é avaliar a prevalência de microorganismos em próteses bucais de pacientes que se encontram hospitalizados, antes e após a intervenção do cirurgião-dentista. O método empregado na avaliação foi o da pesquisa transversal, descritiva e epidemiológica. Essa pesquisa foi aprovada pelo comitê de ética, tendo como número do parecer: 5.896.802. Esse estudo foi realizado em 33 pacientes edêntulos que utilizam prótese dentária e que estavam internados em âmbito hospitalar. Foram encontradas 16 colônias de microrganismos, havendo a redução de 10 desses grupos presentes após a instrução de higiene da prótese. Dessa forma, enfatiza-se a importância e necessidade do cuidado oral em pacientes internados em ambientes hospitalares, tendo em vista a inadequada higienização de cavidade oral e de prótese dentária desses indivíduos.

A história remonta que a introdução de planteis de gado de leite, formação de fazendas e a produção de queijo artesanal foram fatores determinantes para o processo de desenvolvimento e expansão da região do semiárido do estado de Alagoas. Este trabalho é sobre as queijarias artesanais na bacia leiteira de Alagoas, no seio da Agricultura Familiar. Os dados foram coletados por entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas por amostragem. A análise dos dados, utilizando a técnica de convergência de informações, mostrou que as condições higiênicas, sanitárias e aspectos ambientais foram determinantes para a interdição de várias queijarias artesanais. O elevado custo e a demora do processo de regularização podem ser considerados fatores limitantes para os surgimentos de novos laticínios. Os laticínios regularizados observaram vantagens como abertura de novos mercados. As alterações na legislação, tornando mais rígido o processo de produção, fez com que ficasse difícil a regularização de queijarias artesanais. Na bacia leiteira de Alagoas, o queijo Macururé é o único queijo artesanal, todavia, sem produção em escala.
Carência e COVID-19: como garantir o direito previdenciário nos casos de incapacidade?
Authors: Damasceno Anália Lourensato , Cardoso Jair Aparecido
Published: February 2025

A exigência de carência aos vitimados pela Covid-19 que pleiteiam benefícios por incapacidade temporária ou permanente para o trabalho pode se tornar um obstáculo para a concretização do direito fundamental à previdência social. Essa observação é feita a partir da análise da legislação previdenciária que exige doze ou seis contribuições mensais para fins de carência em benefícios por incapacidade permanente e temporária. A Covid-19 foi uma das principais causas de afastamento do trabalho no Brasil, sendo relevante a cobertura desses eventos de incapacidade pela Previdência Social. O problema é que os vitimados pela Covid-19 que não completaram a carência para fazer jus ao benefício estão, em regra, excluídos da proteção social previdenciária. Assim, pelo método hipotético dedutivo, o objetivo final desse artigo é avaliar como o Estado pode garantir o direito previdenciário nos casos de Covid-19 tendo em vista a exigência de carência em benefícios por incapacidade permanente ou temporária para o trabalho. A hipótese é que a exigência de carência impede o acesso ao benefício previdenciário. Para tanto, fez-se uso da técnica bibliográfica, com respaldo na doutrina e legislação, de modo a analisar as exceções à exigência de carência em benefícios previdenciários por incapacidade permanente e temporária, bem como as alterações propostas pelo Projeto de Lei nº 1113/2020. Concluiu-se que a dispensa da carência em casos de incapacidade causados pela Covid-19 é medida de rigor para a garantia do direito social e fundamental à Previdência Social.
