Published: August 2023

Introducción: El artículo aborda la relevancia de la familia como núcleo fundamental en el desarrollo y bienestar de sus miembros. Se destaca la importancia de comprender como la funcionalidad familiar se relaciona con la capacidad de mantener la atención en diversas actividades y tareas. La atención sostenida, un aspecto clave para el logro de metas y el rendimiento académico, se analiza en el contexto de la dinámica familiar.
Objetivo: Identificar la relación que existe entre el funcionamiento familiar y la atención sostenida.
Métodos: se realizó una investigación cuantitativa de tipo correlacional basado en una aplicación de Test D2 y Test FF-SIL dirigida a 250 estudiantes de Educación General Básica Superior de la Unidad Educativa “Capitán Edmundo Chiriboga”. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi cuadrado para determinar la relacion entre las variables.
Resultados: entre los datos más importantes obtenidos se encontró que 45 estudiantes (18%) poseen un nivel bajo de atención mientras que 49 estudiantes (19.6%) viven con familias severamente disfuncionales. Por otra parte 144 (57.6%) viven en familias funcionales, y tienen un nivel medio y al de atención.

Introduction. The authors share their experience in managing congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) in newborns with open and thoracoscopic techniques.Material and methods. From 2012 to 2022, 46 newborns with CDH were admitted to Kuraev Children’s Republican Clinical Hospital in Makhachkala (Russia). 5 children died before surgery, they were excluded from the study. In order to compare outcomes after treatment, all children operated on by the authors were divided into two groups depending on the technique of surgical CDH correction. Newborns from Group 1 (n = 23; 56%) were operated with open access. Newborns from Group 2 (n = 18; 44%) were operated with thoracoscopic access.Results. A comparative evaluation of outcomes after thoracoscopic and open techniques for correcting CDH was made. By the literature, the overall survival rate of children with CDH has increased from 50–60% to 80–90%. The author consider, that it is largely due to the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and nitric oxide to compensate pulmonary hypertension which is the main factor decreasing the postoperative mortality. In this case, physicians prescribed Sildenafil; the survival rate in Group 1 was 48% and in Group 2 – 67%. The authors noted that the mortality rate depended on the size of diaphragm dome defect, on the number of abdominal organs in the pleural cavity. Besides, the place where a child was operated on – in the resuscitation department or not – was also an important factor.Conclusion. Thoracoscopy is a preferred approach for managing CDH because it does not need dissection of a large array of muscles; otherwise, later, in the postoperative period, it can impair the respiratory function. Early postoperative mortality in newborns is caused by hemodynamic disorders, so it is recommended to perform surgical interventions in this group of patients in the resuscitation department. To prevent hemodynamic disorders, it is recommended to install a pleural drainage intraoperatively in all patients with CDH. The authors underline that in their study postoperative course, rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications, as well as mortality rate did not have any statistically significant differences in the compared groups (p0.05). Despite a marked progress in CDH management, large diaphragm defects still is an unsolved problem.

Introduction. The choice of tactics for surgical correction of virilized genitalia in girls with the classic form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) remains a topical issue in pediatric surgery. The early one-stage feminization in severe forms of genital virilization, in case of urogenital sinus, is recommended by the international guidelines on CAH clinical practice (2018). One of the arguments for the early one-stage feminizing plasty is to prevent urinary tract infection. However, in experts’ opinion, it has a low level of evidence.Purpose. To find out a statistically significance risk of developing chronic inflammation in the bladder (CIB) in patients with persistent urogenital sinus due to CAH.Material and methods. The lower urinary tract was examined in two groups of girls with CAH having non-persistent urogenital sinus (UGS) (n=15) and persistent UGS (n=32). In both groups, cystoscopy was made which is highly specific and sensitive to diagnosing chronic inflammation in the bladder (CIB) which develops as a consequence of long-term disorders in urodynamics and long-term urinary tract infection. Statistical analysis was carried out by comparing 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for the relative frequency of CIB in groups with a population value and for testing the hypotheses on the coincidence of observed and population frequencies of binary trait values using the Chi square criterion (χ2).Results. The relative CIB frequency in the group with persistent UGS was 75%. As far as the point estimate of population value of the relative CIB frequency (0.1) was located outside the calculated 95% CI (0.581; 0.918) and the value of calculated χ2 criterion (148.7813) corresponded to r0.05 (0.000000), the difference between the obtained data and population values can be considered statistically significant.Conclusion. The conducted study confirms a high risk of developing CIB in patients with persistent UGS compared to population values what is backgrounded by the obtained statistical significance.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. The syndrome of “acute scrotum” is an important problem in pediatric surgery – reproductive health of the future male population depends on the choice of therapeutic and diagnostic tactics. Ultrasound examination helps to perform differential diagnostics in the acute state of scrotum organs; however, ultrasound is still a conditionally objective technique.Purpose. To evaluate informative significance of ultrasound examination in acute diseases of the scrotum organs.Material and methods. 637 patients were admitted to the surgical department 2 in the Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 3 in Omsk with acute scrotum syndrome in 2017–2019. Upon admission, clinical and anamnestic findings, findings of ultrasound examination of the scrotum organs were collected in all of them. 93% of patients required an emergency surgery – scrototomy.Results. The article presents echographic signs of hydatid lesion, orchoepididymitis and testicular torsion. The sensitivity and specificity of clinical and ultrasound examination in acute diseases of the scrotum organs has been found out.Conclusion. Ultrasound is a mandatory technique for examining acute scrotum diseases. Due to qualitative ultrasound visualization of the scrotum organs, it is easier to diagnose a nosological form of the “acute scrotum” syndrome. In doubtful cases, when there are discrepancies in clinical and instrumental findings, it is necessary to make revision of the scrotum organs.

Collegiate Aviation Student Perceptions of Racial Influences in Aviation Education
Authors: Simoneau Trevor , Siegel Rachel
Published: August 2023

The U.S. aviation industry has grown significantly in the last several decades, but existing literature identifies a gap between progress for the industry and representation of minorities (Ison et al, 2016; Stevenson et al, 2020). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2019, out of the 141,000 persons employed as either “aircraft pilots” or “flight engineers,” 2.6% were Black, 3.4% were Asian, and 2.2% were Hispanic or Latino, while 93.7% were White (BLS, 2019). What has yet to be investigated, however, is how that gap is perceived by students preparing to enter the aviation industry. This exploratory study examines the perceptions of collegiate aviation students, who represent the next generation of the aviation industry, and the impact race may have had on their choice to pursue an aeronautics or aeronautical science degree. Interviews were conducted with students currently enrolled in an aviation career degree program. Results indicated that while a slim majority of participants did not perceive race to be a barrier in aviation education, many participants identified examples of where racial barriers have played a role, in some form, during their aviation education career. In addition, several participants described the U.S. aviation industry’s lack of diversity as an obstacle after beginning their collegiate aviation program. This case study provides an opportunity for institutions to consider how current diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are impacting students, and what else may need to be done to increase minority representation within the aviation industry.
Not my Child: Perceptions of Bullied Students with Behavioral Differences and Teacher Responses
Authors: Schalk Olivia , Geraghty Hope
Published: August 2023

Autistic children are at greater risk of becoming victims of bullying than their neurotypical peers (Park et al., 2020). The current study examines participants’ attitudes toward children with behavioral differences and whether they support or condone bullying toward these children under various conditions. Participants were randomly assigned to read one of four vignettes. The vignettes describe a situation where a bullied fourth-grade student (with or without an outburst) went to the teacher for assistance, and the teacher responded (positively or negatively). The vignettes omitted the words autism, developmental disorder, and diagnosis to limit respondent bias concerning the social obligations to perceive these labels in a certain way. Participants then completed a questionnaire designed to assess their attitudes toward the child they read about. Participants in the positive teacher response condition reported that the student with an outburst “deserved” to be bullied significantly more than the student without an outburst. This topic has not been researched in depth, and future research should expand upon this study to fully understand the biases toward children with behavioral differences.
O cozinhar na construção de identidade e de uma memória social de famílias

Published: August 2023

Tratar a culinária (capacidade de transformar os alimentos em preparações), como característica identitária e patrimônio cultural de um dado grupo, ou da sociedade de maneira geral, significa considerá-la como conduta cotidiana enraizada. A possibilidade de preservar uma dada cultura alimentar ao longo das gerações é atribuída ao aprendizado geracional, que “atua” fortalecendo elementos da memória, identidade e afeto. Os cadernos de receitas familiares tem papel marcante na construção da identidade do grupo. São instrumentos de transmissão, preservação e afeto de memória construída coletivamente. Podemos nos arriscar à defini-los como materialização da memória social. Neles guarda-se além de um modelo de domínio e conhecimento técnico da culinária, a colaboração e significado de um aprendizado histórico.

ABSTRACT
One of the factors for the competitiveness of tourist destinations is cleanliness, especially solid waste management. Toba Regency, as one of the buffer zones for the tourist destination of Lake Toba, cannot be separated from the challenge of reducing and handling solid waste generated by households, industry, and tourists. The amount of waste generated in Toba Regency in 2022 is 31,794 tons/year with a reduction rate of 0.94%, 37% dumped in landfill and 62% unmanaged. A simulation was carried out through data analysis from various planning documents, field observations, and interviews with stakeholders to get the best scenario for achieving the Jakstranas waste target in this study. Scenario 1 is by maximizing recycling through waste banks with a capacity of 10,074 tons/year or scenario 2 by composting food waste as much as 7,665 tons/year and recycling through waste banks at 2,317.75 tons/year. Scenario 1 is more likely to be implemented than scenario 2, considering the low compost market. If scenario 1 is implemented, the potential for creating a circular economy ranges from Rp. 19,654,374,000 to Rp. 22,354,206,000 annually.
ABSTRAK
Salah satu faktor daya saing destinasi wisata adalah kebersihan, khususnya pengelolaan sampah. Kabupaten Toba sebagai salah satu wilayah penyangga destinasi wisata Danau Toba tidak lepas dari tantangan untuk mengurangi dan menangani sampah yang dihasilkan baik oleh rumah tangga, industri,  maupun wisatawan.  Jumlah timbulan sampah Kabupaten Toba tahun 2022 sebanyak 31.794 ton/tahun dengan tingkat pengurangan sebesar 0,94%, ditimbun di Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir (TPA) 37% dan tidak terkelola 62%. Melalui analisis data dari berbagai dokumen perencanaan, pengamatan lapangan dan wawancara dengan pemangku kepentingan dilakukan simulasi untuk mendapatkan skenario terbaik dalam mencapai target Jakstranas persampahan dalam studi ini. Skenario 1 dengan memaksimalkan daur ulang melalui bank sampah dengan kapasitas 10.074 ton/tahun atau skenario 2 dengan melakukan pengomposan sampah sisa makanan sebanyak 7.665 ton/tahun dan daur ulang melalui bank sampah 2.317,75 ton/tahun. Skenario 1 lebih mungkin dilaksanakan dibanding skenario 2 mengingat rendahnya pasar kompos. Jika skenario 1 terlaksana maka potensi terwujudnya ekonomi sirkuler berkisar antara Rp. 19.654.374.000 hingga Rp. 22.354.206.000 per tahun

ABSTRACT
The presence of ammonia gas as a pollutant in the atmosphere can cause various air pollution problems, including as a precursor to the formation of PM2,5 particulate matter which is harmful to human health. In urban areas, NH3 gas emissions come from transportation and household activities. This research was conducted to determine the concentration of ammonia gas in ambient air in urban areas using a passive sampler. Sampling locations include areas that include the center of Bandung city, namely Pasteur, Kopo, and Kebon Kalapa. Sampling was carried out from 2014–2018 with a sampling duration of one month. Based on the results of laboratory analysis, it was found that the highest concentration of ammonia gas was in the Kebon Kalapa area with the highest concentration value of 45.03 µg/m3, followed by the Kopo area of 26.88 µg/m3 and Cipedes of 11.7 µg/m3. If based on seasonal patterns, it is found that in the dry months, the concentration of ammonia gas in ambient air tends to be higher than in the wet season for the three study locations.

Bagasse is an environmental problem that has not been fully utilized yet. Meanwhile, bagasse has a relatively high cellulose content which has the potential as a basic material for bioplastics production. This study aims to obtain biodegradable plastic by utilizing bagasse. The melt intercalation method or phase inversion technique is carried out through evaporation of the solvent after the printing process on a glass plate. The results showed that for the manufacture of bioplastics with the addition of chitosan and glycerol plasticizer, the optimum concentration of bagasse cellulose was at a concentration of 5% (w/v) with a percent elongation of 8.53% and a tensile strength of 7.68 MPa. Furthermore, the Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) characterization shows that there are OH, CH, and C=O functional groups in biodegradable plastics which are the constituent elements of each component such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.

Pit lakes are a common form of reclamation of areas where open pit mining activities have taken place. The development of these lakes often uses previous overburden materials, or “spoils”, that are readily available. Depending on the local geology, these spoil materials can contain large proportions of high-plasticity clays, which poses challenges in terms of the analysis and design of the sloped banks constructed to form new lakes. This paper describes a study in which geotechnical centrifuge modelling was used to investigate the stability and performance, in terms of accumulated displacements over cycles of lowering and raising the lake water elevation, of slopes constructed with a high-plasticity clay. A “replica-spoil” material was used in the tests to replicate key characteristics of spoil materials from known spoil heaps in Europe. The paper describes the centrifuge models and testing procedure developed for the tests, as well as the challenges encountered with the use of the high-plasticity clay. Two slope angles were tested: a 15 slope to match the typical slopes at a known field site, and a steeper 24 slope. Pore pressures within the slope were measured over several cycles of lake water elevation change. Slope displacements were measured using local transducers placed at the slope crest and toe, as well as using a PIV image analysis technique. The slopes were shown to experience plastic deformations, with displacements accumulating over subsequent cycles of lake water level change. The 24 slope developed slightly larger accumulated displacements than the 15 slope, though neither slope showed signs of ultimate collapse. Results from the centrifuge tests provide invaluable data which can be used for the verification of numerical models considering similar stability scenarios.

Published: August 2023

Formation of so-called open-pit lakes has become an increasingly common practice in Romania (more precisely in the Oltenia Mining Basin, where the lignite deposit contained in Dacian and Romanian formations was and is extracted through open-pits). The flooding process of the remaining gaps is in general a natural one, as water comes from underground sources (phreatic and pressurized aquifers) and from precipitations (including runoff waters from the surrounding terrains). This practice is considered to be a type of ecological reconstruction of former exploitation areas and has been applied worldwide for quite a time (in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, USA, Australia, etc.). The present paper aims to present some ecological aspects regarding these lakes, and, as case study, we chose the lake formed in the remaining gap of Urdari open-pit (within the Rovinari Mining Basin). However, the authors consider that given the multitude of similar conditions (bioclimate, geology, topography, etc.) in which they form, the preliminary conclusions of this study can be extrapolated for other lakes in the area (existing, such South Peșteana and Moi, or planned, such as Roșia and North Peșteana). This study presents data on the existing biotope and biocenoses (restricted to species identification), without going into specific details about populations, ecosystem production, energy and matter flows within it, as these investigations demand a longer period of time and more resources and are foreseen for a future development stage of this study.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi relatar como ocorreu a aplicação de uma sequência didática para o ensino de Óptica utilizando o caso do Terraplanismo aplicada a alunos do 2º Ano do Curso Técnico Integrado ao Médio em Eletrotécnica do IFRN durante as aulas de Física. O Terraplanismo é uma ideia que tem sido bastante divulgada nas mídias sociais. Durante o período da Pandemia do Covid-19, alunos que estavam isolados dentro de casa tinham acesso a informações por meio dos veículos de comunicação, como a TV, e também por meio da internet. Foi nesse período que notícias falsas, chamadas de fake news, aliadas a movimentos como o anti vacina e o terraplanismo ganharam grande notoriedade na sociedade. A escola como instituição formadora de cidadãos, juntamente com os professores de Ciências, precisou estar presente, buscando trabalhar junto aos alunos o chamado letramento científico. O IFRN não aderiu ao PNLD no triênio 2019, 2020 e 2021 e foi preciso elaborar um material didático para o ensino de Óptica. Baseado conceito de sequência didática onde um conjunto de atividades ordenadas, estruturadas e articuladas para a realização de certos objetivos educacionais, que têm um princípio e um fim conhecido, foi elaborada e aplicado uma sequência didática composta por seis momentos distintos durante os meses de maio e junho de 2022. As discussões foram iniciadas com uma introdução ao estudo da óptica geométrica. Com atividades práticas e exercícios de fixação, os tópicos foram desenvolvidos nos primeiros momentos de aplicação. Com a utilização de trechos de reportagens, vídeos retirados do YouTube discutindo sobre o Terraplanismo em um momento posterior e, utilizando o relato da experiência de Eratóstenes, que mediu o raio da Terra ainda no século III a. C. apresentamos e debatemos acerca da impossibilidade de tais ideias acerca da Terra plana. Ao final da sequência didática aplicamos uma avaliação contendo 10 questões, sendo oito objetivas e duas subjetivas. Os resultados mostraram que 97% dos alunos obtiveram notas acima da média esperamos que esse material possa ser utilizado por outros professores que buscam sempre uma alternativa ao problema da falta do livro didático, contribuindo assim para a melhoria do processo de ensino e aprendizagem da Física.

A serological study employing 3AB3 non-structural protein ELISA and liquid phase blocking ELISA to assess foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) non-structural and structural protein antibodies (NSP- and SP-Ab) was undertaken through sampling from all resident animals of a vaccinated herd comprising 943, 377 and 211 cattle, buffaloes and goats, respectively, in north India. A considerable, though disparate proportions of animals (61.2% cattle, 29.2% buffaloes and 29.9% goats) were positive for NSP-Ab suggesting an exposure to FMDV. From the age-stratified analysis of NSP-Ab prevalence, the probable time point of virus introduction in the farm could be predicted in retrospect to be around 8 months before sampling. The proportion of animals showing ≥1.8 log10 titre against all 3 serotypes in the vaccine varied from 3.2 to 32.9% in different species indicating poor vaccinal herd immunity, which presumably might have been the reason for the outbreak in the farm.

An experiment was carried out to study the electrophoretic profile of sperm membrane proteins in Assam Hill goat (AHG) bucks and their correlation with fresh semen characteristics. Ejaculates (64) consisting of 8 each from 8 bucks were collected by artificial vagina method. Each ejaculate was split into 2 equal parts. First part was used for fresh semen evaluation and the other part for protein study. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) indicated 20 different protein bands with molecular weight ranging from 10 kDa to 75 kDa. Among the 20 proteins, only 6 proteins bands were consistently present in all 8 bucks (100%). Protein bands with molecular weight 10, 14, 22, 28, 55, 57 and 60 kDa showed significant positive correlation with certain parameters of the fresh semen, while 47 kDa protein band presented negative correlation with fresh semen characteristics in AHG bucks. In conclusion, the proteins showing significant positive correlation with fresh semen characteristics might serve to screen semen of AHG bucks for breeding programmes.
