Perpectivas da Escola, da Cultura e da Avaliação na Base da Cultura Escolar
Authors: Del Bianco Rita de Cássia Rodrigues , Carneiro Maria Esperança Fernandes
Published: January 2023

O objetivo deste estudo é discutir a respeito dos elementos que compuseram um estudo sobre o tema: “O Estudo da Escola: cultura escolar, cultura material e imaterial, instituição e práticas escolares de avaliação”, no espaço de formação do doutoramento em Educação. Como um problema a ser refletido, questiona-se: de que modo é possível a escola produzir sua própria cultura crítica, de forma a fazer oposição à cultura dominante? Como lidar com essa forma homogênea da organização da escola, tendo em vista a avaliação na base da cultura escolar? Nessa perspectiva, o campo de estudo da cultura escolar passa por temas envoltos pela história da leitura, do currículo, da formação e profissionalização docente e de outros elementos que a compõem. Essas reflexões elevam-se a todos os contextos escolares e, consequentemente, o interesse em tratar de uma temática como avaliação e avaliação institucional. A cultura escolar está assentada em bases de tensões, conflitos, práticas e rupturas, movidas pela organização da escola. Essas tessituras compreendem a organização da escola em todos os seus níveis e modalidades, tanto na educação básica quanto na educação superior. Além delas, a avaliação, também, comporá o espaço da cultura da escola. Portanto, a avaliação está presente na cultura escolar e torna-se parte de processos compositores desta e urge ser analisada como um fenômeno dessa cultura em seus aspectos sociais e políticos.

Published: January 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho foi compreender a trajetória de execução do PNAE no município de Conceição do Mato Dentro-MG, principalmente no que diz respeito à aquisição de alimentos da agricultura familiar atingida pela mineração. O modelo de desenvolvimento baseado na extração do minério de ferro por transnacionais causa impactos multidimensionais – econômicos, sociais e ambientais –, incluindo o assolamento das comunidades tradicionais. Contrapondo esse modelo, encontra-se propostas de desenvolvimento pautadas na valorização do local a partir da implantação de políticas públicas que tem beneficiado populações de diferentes territórios nas últimas décadas. No âmbito do desenvolvimento rural, destaca-se o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE), que garante a alimentação nas escolas públicas e prevê a aquisição de alimentos da agricultura familiar, fortalecendo este segmento social historicamente marginalizado. Para conhecer a execução deste programa no município investigado, a metodologia adotada combinou levantamento de dados quantitativos – FNDE e Censo Agropecuário – com pesquisa documental – CECANE IFSULDEMINAS – e trabalho de campo. As entrevistas foram realizadas com três agentes locais e 31 famílias agricultoras.Os resultados indicaram que de 2011 a 2017 houve a ausência da participação da agricultura familiar, consequência do desconhecimento dos agricultores com relação ao programa, dos impactos da mineração e da fragilidade da atuação do poder público para divulgar e executar o PNAE adequadamente. Em 2018 e 2019, o município chegou a destinar mais de 70% do recurso do PNAEna aquisição de alimentos da agricultura familiar, consequência da atuação do CECANE, dos resultadosdesta pesquisa e de pressãodos movimentos sociais e populares. Contudo, mesmo a prefeitura ampliando as compras da agricultura familiar, esta fica restrita àsfamílias que sofreram em menor escala os impactos da mineradora.

Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) kuznetsovi (Demnark and Welbourn) is redescribed based on the holotype female and newly collected materials from Tajikistan. After a detailed examination of the holotype female, we have concluded that several important morphological characters were incorrectly described in the original description. In this article, we redescribe and discuss these characters. Additionally, the holotype female of T. (A.) kuznetsovi was photographed and measured according to modern standards of phytoseiid taxonomy.
Mission in covid/post-covid times Drawing inspiration from pope Francis
Authors: Catalano Roberto
Published: January 2023

In Bergoglio’s thinking, to build on fraternity in order to create a culture of encounter and justice means to move together towards unity, which helps to be committed “to allow people to serve as a body despite differences of viewpoint, physical separation and human ego”.[1] This attitude and these commitments will prevent us from falling into uniformity while respecting the values and richness of plurality. In fact, in today’s world, while we are more and more interconnected we experience a deep sense of division, especially at the social and economic level. Our societies and communities are more and more fragmented and this creates dangerous polarizations, as it is seen in politics and social life. Fraternity will help to foster dialogue at all levels and this will enable people “to generate a shared horizon toward which we can all move forward together”.[2] This does not mean, in Pope Francis’ understanding, denying tensions and differences. It rather calls for the engagement of everyone and all communities to work for a wider unity where all differences remain and coexist while working together. This reading of the present reality can help us react to the pandemic as a people, as a whole humanity with its differences and riches. But we need the courage “to restore an ethics of fraternity and solidarity, regenerating the bonds of trust and belonging. For what it saves is not an idea but an encounter.”

Blessed Are Those Who Do Not Know the Future of the Church. A Plea for Negative Ecclesiology
Authors: Jos Moons
Published: January 2023

What will the future of the church look like? What type of mission should the church commit herself to? Rather than elaborating one more answer to these important questions, I have pleaded for negative ecclesiology and ‘the grace of self-doubt’. This is not to replace the answers that are given, but to safeguard sufficient openness in these answers. By abstaining from certitude, the church may more easily hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches beyond our own, human and therefore narrow minded understandings. My brief discussions on the Trinity, Ignatian spiritual direction and synodality were meant to illustrate that ‘wise ignorance’ and openness to surprises are present in some other dimensions of the Christian faith and theology and may, therefore, be safely adopted in reflections on the future of the church.

A great fruit of negative ecclesiology is that it allows for change, that is, for a new understanding of God and therefore a new understanding of the church. Because the Apostles allowed for uncertainty, they could accept that God’s grace did not require circumcision and Jewish purity regulations – a crucial revolution in the early Christian church. Similarly, during the Second Vatican Council the bishops did not insist on using the same words, and were therefore able to embrace another, more pastoral style of magisterial teaching.

In the same way, negative ecclesiology can help the church – its leadership as much as lay faithful – to be open to new perspectives on church and on mission. It may help to confront the painful truth that in the West the omnipresence of the church belongs to a past era and that in the church’s role in society is becoming a marginal one. It may help the faithful and church leadership to embrace the task of bringing the number of church buildings more in line with the church’s current position in society – that is, to abolish a significant number of churches. Finally, it may help to reconceive the church’s prophetic voice into a more dialogical and humble voice, which testifies rather than criticizes, and that is willing to learn as much as to teach.

Published: January 2023

La capacidad de un sistema, comunidad o sociedad expuesta a peligros para resistir, absorber, adaptarse y recuperarse de los efectos de un peligro de manera oportuna y eficiente se denomina resiliencia. En este estudio, utilizamos datos de una encuesta transversal reciente de 293 hogares agrícolas en el estado de Níger, Nigeria, para examinar la rentabilidad de las estrategias de gestión de riesgos para la resiliencia a los choques climáticos. Se examinó el análisis de beneficio-costo de las estrategias de mitigación donde se utilizaron como reglas de decisión la relación costo-beneficio (BCR) y el valor actual neto (VAN). Las estrategias de mitigación más utilizadas fueron los cultivos tolerantes a la sequía (62.8 %), la diversificación de cultivos (60.8 %), las existencias reguladoras (54.6 %) y la agricultura de estación seca (41.3 %). El resultado mostró que alrededor del 52 % de los hogares muestreados tenían seguridad alimentaria, mientras que el 48 % de ellos tenían inseguridad alimentaria. El resultado mostró que el cultivo de arroz de estación seca tuvo el mayor beneficio neto (BN) y VPN ($ 199.98) mientras que el maíz de secano ($ 35.01) y el arroz 0 tuvieron el menor VPN; el resultado mostró el VPN para cultivos tolerantes a la sequía: yuca ($ 170.25), mijo ($ 101.58) y sorgo ($ 96.43). El estudio recomienda que los hogares se dediquen al cultivo de arroz en la estación seca y cultiven cultivos tolerantes a la sequía, como la yuca, el mijo y el sorgo. Los gobiernos deberían invertir, investigar y mejorar cultivos tolerantes a la sequía para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y la resiliencia de los hogares.

Authors: Santos Henrique Machado dos , Flores Daniel
Published: January 2023

This study synthesizes knowledge about the transformations of the information package of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS)model, within the scope of aChain of Custody for Digital Archives (CCDA). Thus, the importance of the file system being composed of management, preservation and access platforms is discussed. The methodology is based on a survey of previously published materials, including: books, technical publications and articles from scientific journals. The analysis of the collected data consists of a triangulation between Archival Science, the OAIS model and the CCDA. The discussion uses deductive logics, which results in an unsystematic review article. Finally, it is argued that establishing a CCDA will allow the transformations of the OAIS information package to be carried out by a reliable custodian capable of ensuring the maintenance of the authenticity and the preservation of digital archival records in the long term.

Published: January 2023

This research presents an intersection between the field of InformationScience and Semiotics, through a correlation between information representation and plastic semiotics, since both areas present concerns in relation to language and representation. The objective of this research, of qualitative approach, exploratory character and applied nature, is to analyze the theoretical foundations of plastic semiotics and discuss the possibility of establishing relations between information representation and these semiotic foundations in order to contribute to the theoretical and epistemological bases of Information Organization. Through bibliographic research procedures, in the Google Scholar, Periódicos Capes, Dialnet and BRAPCIdatabases, as well as consultations in specialized books on the theme, the results are elaborated using the content analysis method. As results, an analysis of comics is presented, as a practical and applied example of how such theory can contribute to the representation of visual and/or syncretic objects. It is concluded that plastic semiotics has much to contribute to the field of Information Science, especially in the thematic representation for document interpretation, by analyzing the visual aspects identifying signs and meanings present in the works, making it possible to direct the technical reading, identification and description of the content, important steps in indexing.
Promoção sustentável da leitura no Brasil análise dos projetos contemplados com o prêmio ‘Retratos da Leitura’
Authors: Camillo Everton da Silva , Castro Filho Claudio Marcondes de
Published: January 2023

The study approaches sustainability as a trendy topic that intersects several issues, whether environmental, social, cultural, politicalor economic. Given that reading is a social practice, the promotion of reading is directly permeated by sustainability. Therefore, training readers is primarily a social concern, even if there are repercussions in the cultural, political, economic, and environmental spheres. The aim of this research is to understand the possible relationships between reading programs in Brazil and the multidimensionality of sustainability to contribute to the sustainable promotion of reading. It was understood what the multidimensionality of sustainability and the sustainable promotion of reading consist of. Methodologically, the study used the Content Analysis research method. The research focused on 34 Brazilian reading programs retrieved from the database named Plataforma Pró-Leitura. The analysed programs were related to cultural, economic, political, and social sustainability, but not to the environmental one. Hypotheses regarding the relationships were established. The study concludes that it is essential to verify theeffective implementation of actions that can make environmental, cultural, economic, political, and social sustainability included in the different reading promotion projects so that this practice can be effectively understood as sustainable.

Published: January 2023

This article concerns the path taken during my scientific research related to the construction and management of digital assets for the design, development, and management of databases, within the scope of the INET-md in Portugal. Its general objective is to facilitate the interoperability, Web dissemination, search, and retrieval of the INET-md's digital collections. This investigation aims to reinforce the alliance between the areas of Information Science and Computer Science. From the Information Science, it brings the applications used for organization,management, and publication of digital assets collections on the Web; and from the Computer Science, it brings syntactic concepts (metadata and protocols) to communicate and exchange data and semantic concepts (ontologies and semantic annotations) to describe data. Both types of concepts can promote interoperability between distinct digital repositories and platforms, providing improvements in information search and retrieval activities.
Assessment of Agro Allied Chemical Pollution on Surface Water Quality of River Lamurde and Mayo-Gwoi, Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria
Authors: Ezekiel Benjamin Bwadi. , Adelalu Temitope G. , Christopher James N. , Alhassan Tijjani
Published: January 2023

Water bodies have been severely degraded in recent years due to the indiscriminate use of agro-allied chemicals. The study assesses the agro-allied chemical pollution on the surface water quality in River Lamurde and Mayo Gwoi. Water samples were collected from twenty-one (21) sample locations along the River Lamurde and Mayo-Gwoi to determine the seasonal variation during the wet and dry seasons through field determination of water quality and laboratory-based analysis at Taraba State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Corporation (TAWASCO) Jalingo laboratory. The water quality parameters that were subjected to test include: Calcium (Ca), Nitrate (NO3-), Zinc (Zn), Nitrite (NO2-), Chromium (Cr), Phosphate (PO43-), Iron (Fe), Sulfate (SO4) and Copper (Cu), The data acquired from the laboratory test was subjected to the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result of the laboratory analysis shows that the concentration of copper during the dry season and Sulfate during the wet season in river Lamurde and Mayo Gwoi falls within the permissible limits of WHO/NSDWQ while the concentration of Calcium (Ca), Nitrate (NO3-), Zinc (Zn), Nitrite (NO2-), Chromium (Cr), Phosphate (PO43-) and Iron (Fe) far exceeds the permissible limits of WHO/NSDWQ during the dry and wet season. The findings show that the main causes of the pollution are human activities such as fertilizer application and other agro-allied chemicals around the bank of River Lamurde and Mayo Gwoi. It was recommended that prevention of pollution, treatment of polluted water, safe use of environmentally friendly fertilizers, and other agro-allied chemicals and protection of the ecosystem, among others are desirable actions that will guarantee not only sustainable good quality but also the use of Lamurde and Mayo-Gwoi River water by man.
The Use of Patient-Generated Health Data From Consumer-Grade Mobile Devices in Clinical Workflows: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Guardado Medina Sharon , Isomursu Minna
Published: January 2023

Background

With the rapid advancement of mobile technology, the scope of mobile health (mHealth) has expanded to include consumer-grade devices such as smartphones and wearable sensors. These solutions have typically been used for fitness purposes; however, due to their ubiquitous capabilities for data collection, they have the potential to bridge information gaps and supplement data from clinical visits. Patient-generated health data (PGHD) can be derived from mHealth solutions and be used by health care professionals (HCPs) as complementary tools in the care process, yet their integration into clinical workflows presents a myriad of challenges. PGHD might be a new and unfamiliar source of information for most HCPs, and the majority of mHealth solutions have not been designed to be used by HCPs as active reviewers. As mHealth solutions become more available and attractive to patients, HCPs may see an increase in the influx of data and related inquiries from their patients. This mismatch in expectations can result in disruptions to clinical workflows and negatively impact patient-clinician relationships. For PGHD to be integrated into clinical workflows, its use should be proven beneficial for both patients and HCPs. However, so far, only limited research has been done on the concrete experiences of HCPs as active reviewers of PGHD from consumer-grade mobile devices.

Objective

We aimed to systematically guide the review of existing literature to identify what types of PGHD from consumer-grade mobile devices are currently being used by HCPs as complementary tools in the care process.

Methods

The PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols) 2015 was followed for the design of the search, selection, and data synthesis processes. Electronic searches will be done on PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, and Scopus.

Results

Preliminary searches have been conducted, and previous related systematic and scoping reviews have been found and evaluated. The review is expected to be completed in February 2023.

Conclusions

This protocol will guide the review of existing literature on the use of PGHD produced by consumer-grade mobile devices. Although there have been previous reviews related to this topic, our proposed approach seeks to understand the specific opinions and experiences of different types of HCPs who are already using PGHD in their clinical practice and the motives for deeming these data useful and worth reviewing. Depending on the studies that will be included, there may be an opportunity to provide a wider understanding of what types of HCPs trust PGHD, despite the possible challenges that its use might convey, potentially contributing with the knowledge to support the design strategies of mHealth tools that could be integrated into clinical workflows.

The Enforcement and Implementation of the Traffic Laws in Dipolog City
Authors: Ferrer-Celicious Ma. Nova , c. Naparota Leo
Published: January 2023

The study's main objective was to determine the influence of the enforcement of Traffic Laws on the implementation of pedestrian safety rules in Dipolog City during the calendar year 2020. Therefore, a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed in this study. Using frequency counting and percent, weighted mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation, data were obtained from 304 drivers and 92 pedestrians in Dipolog City. The study found that drivers were very highly perceived, and pedestrians were highly perceived in enforcing Traffic Laws. Furthermore, it was found that there is no significant difference in the perceived enforcement of traffic laws of the drivers and pedestrians in terms of age, level of education, and monthly income. However, the study revealed a significant difference in the perceived enforcement of the drivers in terms of the level of education and monthly income. On the other hand, the level of drivers' and pedestrians' perception of the implementation of Traffic Laws in Dipolog City is poorly implemented. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the perceived implementation of the drivers and pedestrians in terms of age, level of education, and monthly income. Likewise, there is a significant difference in the perceived implementation of the drivers regarding the level of education and monthly income. Moreover, there is a substantial relationship between the drivers' and pedestrians' perceptions of the enforcement and implementation of Traffic Laws in Dipolog City.
The Surge Toward “Diversity”: Interest Convergence and Performative “Wokeness” in Music Institutions
Authors: Hess Juliet
Published: January 2023

Following the brutal murder of George Floyd by police office Derek Chauvin in summer 2020, interest in so-called “diversity” initiatives in schools of music across the U.S. and Canada has exploded. In this article, I put forward Derrick Bell’s (1995) principle of interest convergence—a key tenet of critical race theory (CRT)— in order to explore a possible convergence of interests in “diversity work” between white and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) groups in higher education music institutions. I examine music institutions’ performances of “wokeness” at this time and then consider what Sara Ahmed (2012) calls the “nonperformative” to interrogate the convergence of white interests with the interests of BIPOC communities. To conclude, I put forward ways to capitalize on this interest convergence through curricular and policy change in higher education music institutions.
¿La Respuesta Psicofisiológica de Estrés-Relajación es la Misma en todas las Pacientes Sobrevivientes de Cáncer?
Authors: Rodríguez Medina David Alberto , Ruiz Perial Mayra Gisselle , Domínguez Trejo Benjamín , Vázquez Ortega José Joel , Zamudio Silva Patricia , Ríos Quintero Yurica
Published: January 2023

Un sobreviviente de cáncer padece continuamente manifestaciones autonómicas debidas a la enfermedad, su tratamiento oncológico, y el estrés psicológico con que se enfrenta continuamente. Una de las medidas psicofisiológicas utilizada para la valoración del estrés es la disminución de la temperatura periférica. En contraparte, los procedimientos psicológicos de relajación para el manejo de estrés buscan incrementar la temperatura. Sin embargo, se desconoce si esta respuesta es igual en todas pacientes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue examinar los cambios de temperatura durante un protocolo de estrés psicosocial y relajación en pacientes sobrevivientes de cáncer de mama. Adicionalmente, se evaluó el autorreporte de dolor y su interferencia con el funcionamiento psicosocial. Los resultados mostraron variaciones de temperatura periférica en las pacientes; sin embargo, no todas las pacientes presentaron el mismo patrón de temperatura, encontrando 3 subgrupos de pacientes, cuyas trayectorias lineales de temperatura permitieron generar un pronóstico afectivo para el manejo de estrés. Por autorreporte, no se encontraron diferencias psicosociales entre los subgrupos, aunque sí se encontró una asociación inversa entre la interferencia del sueño y la temperatura periférica. Se concluye que la temperatura periférica permite distinguir a las pacientes que se les dificulta el manejo del estrés psicosocial de aquellas que se benefician de los procedimientos psicológicos de relajación.

Published: January 2023

En el presente estudio se investigó si la frecuencia de las actividades hechas por la pareja tiende a igualar la frecuencia de las actividades recibidas del cónyuge; conforme a la ley de igualación. Participaron 120 hombres y 120 mujeres divididos en seis bloques de cinco años de matrimonio cada uno. Se pidió a los participantes que, de una lista de 63 actividades divididas en 9 áreas de interacción marital, indicaran cuáles realizaban por y cuáles recibían de su pareja. Posteriormente, se estimó si la proporción de actividades que los miembros de la pareja reportaron que hacían por su pareja tendía a igualar la proporción de actividades que decían recibir de ella. Los participantes reportaron que la proporción de actividades que hacen por su pareja es similar a la proporción de actividades que reciben de ella. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la relación entre las actividades del matrimonio y los reforzadores que mantienen unida a una pareja puede explicarse cuantitativamente con la ley de igualación; esto es, en términos de la relación entre los patrones de conducta que los miembros de la pareja hacen por y reciben de su pareja.

Published: January 2023

El desarrollo del conocimiento contable y el desempeño del contador público en la actualidad, plantean retos que obligan la formación de un profesional capaz de enfrentar los cambios y exigencias del mundo contemporáneo. El objetivo de la investigación consistió en describir el nivel de competencias investigativas de los profesionales contables en Colombia. Elaborado bajo el paradigma positivista, con enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo exploratoria y descriptiva. A través de un trabajo de campo se realizó un estudio con los contadores públicos inscritos en la Junta Central de Contadores (JCC) de Colombia durante los periodos 2020 y 2021. Con un muestreo discrecional y no probabilístico, se utilizó la encuesta online para la recolección de datos y como instrumento el Modelo de Lart elaborado por Luis Arturo Rivas Torres en el año 2011, con una escala tipo Likert con seis opciones en las respuestas. Los resultados demostraron que los encuestados no han desarrollado las habilidades y conocimientos que debe poseer un investigador de acuerdo con el Modelo de Lart 2011. Se concluye que los contadores públicos colombianos objeto de estudio tienen un bajo nivel de competencias investigativas, donde los actores del proceso educativo juegan un papel importante en la formación y desarrollo de estas habilidades en el profesional.
Tablet Binders

Published: January 2023

Abstract: The tablet formulation contains binders that increase the interparticulate bond power inside the tablet. Research and progress of novel accessories remains a priority for potential use as a binder in formulations tablet. Tablet binder or binding agent are the substances that are added either dry or in liquid form during wet granulation to form granules or to promote cohesive compacts for directly compressed tablets. E.g., starch, pregelatinized starch, PEG, sorbitol, and HPMC, etc. Tablet Binder and disintegrants have the opposite used in an oral solid formulation. Binder delay tablet disintegration while disintegrant increase tablet disintegration. They play a vital role in making sure pellets or granules and tablets remain in shape until they reach their target by holding all ingredients (API and Excipients) together in any solid dosage form. Selecting the correct binder is critical to maintaining the integrity of the tablet. Natural binders such as various starches, Gums, mucus and dried fruits, among other things, have the ability to bind. Features such as Natural polymers, fillers, and disintegrants are also safe more economical than synthetic polymers
Experimental Study on The Steel Fiber Reinforcement Concrete
Authors: Denesh Mr. K. C. , Senthilkumar V.
Published: January 2023

Abstract: Concrete is one of the world most widely used construction material. However, since the early 1800’s, it has been known that concrete is weak in tension. Weak tensile strength combined with brittle behavior result in sudden tensile failure without warning. This is obviously not desirable for any construction material. Thus, concrete requires some form of tensile reinforcement to compensate its brittle behavior and improve its tensile strength and strain capacity to be used in structural applications. Historically, steel has been used as the material of choice for tensile reinforcement in concrete. Unlike conventional reinforcing bars, which are specifically designed and placed in the tensile zone of the concrete member, fibers are thin, short and distributed randomly throughout the concrete member.

Abstract: Most of the buildings in the whole world is made of concrete which makes it one of the most extensively used construction material in the world. These materials are often used in residential buildings, commercial buildings, building foundations, roads etc. Solid waste management, especially solid waste plastic is one of the major environmental concerns in the world today. The plastic waste which we have used in our experiment is collected from local plastic waste management center, the purpose of this study was to enable the practical use of this material as an alternative to the existing building material. Recyclable Plastics are used as a replacement to the fine aggregates. The Recyclable Plastics were partially replaced in place of fine aggregates by 0, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45%. M25 grade of concrete was designed and tested. The mix design for different types of mixes were prepared by replacing the fine aggregates at different percentages of Recyclable Plastics. Experimental investigations like workability, Compressive strength test, split tensile strength test, Flexural strength test for different concrete mixes with different percentages of waste crushed after 7, 14 and 28-days curing period has done. It has been observed that the workability increases with increase in the percentage of replacement of Recyclable Plastics increases. The strength of concrete also increases with the Recyclable Plastics up to 35% percentage.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Concrete is the most widely utilized “manmade” material globally for construction in many developing countries in all types of civil engineering works. Also, concrete is an environmental - friendly material and in areas of growing environment – related awareness that is of prime importance. The weakness of concrete is due to the presence of micro cracks at mortar aggregate interface. To overcome the existing problems addition of fibers in the concrete has been come in to practice. In fiber reinforced concrete the fibers are added to the concrete mix so that those are discontinuous fibers will be uniformly distributed in the mix and improve the concrete properties in all directions. In this research paper, an attempt is made to use fibers only .The experimental investigation consisting of casting and testing of compression tests were conducted on 150x150x150mm cube and 150mmx300mm, cylindrical specimens using test method that gave the complete compressive strength, split tensile test using with and without fiber.The strength and durability properties are carried out for various mix designations and compared with normal conventional concreteIn present project work M25 grade considered and the polypropylene (PP) fiber at 0.5,1 ,1.5 ,2 and 2.5% volume fractions and carbon fibers at 1, 1.5, 2,2.5 and 3% volume fractions are introduced into fiber‐reinforced. Based on the results will find the superior crack resistance, improved tensile strength. The proposed sample will be tested at 7 days, 21 days and 218days age of curing. These results will show whether the FRC is suitable for proper confinement or not for structures subject to extreme load conditions

O suicídio encontra-se entre as vinte principais causas de morte no mundo e, com o processo de envelhecimento populacional, há uma tendência do aumento desses óbitos entre os idosos. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o perfil, a evolução e a distribuição espacial dos óbitos por suicídio em idosos na região Nordeste no período de 2009 a 2018. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo ecológico, com base no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade. Verificou-se o perfil dos óbitos por suicídio nos quinquênios 2009-2013 e 2014-2018. Para estudar a evolução do coeficiente de mortalidade por suicídio em idosos ao longo dos anos, por estado do Nordeste, realizou-se a análise de regressão linear. Por fim, a análise espacial foi utilizada para verificar agrupamentos de municípios com maior risco de morte por esse agravo. Os resultados mostraram que os mais acometidos foram os indivíduos do sexo masculino, pardos, casados e com idade entre 60-69 anos, sendo a principal causa o enforcamento. Foi evidenciado redução dos óbitos na faixa etária de 80 anos e mais, redução entre os casados e aumento entre os idosos separados judicialmente, redução dos óbitos por autointoxicação e aumento dos óbitos por precipitação de locais elevados. Aumento significativo do coeficiente de mortalidade foi observado nos estados do Piauí, Maranhão, Ceará, Paraíba, Bahia e Pernambuco. A análise espacial demonstrou uma maior concentração de municípios com indicadores mais elevados nos estados do Piauí e do Rio Grande do Norte, evidenciando a necessidade de maiores esforços em saúde para esta população.
Students in Name Only: Improving the Working Conditions of Articled Students Via the Application of the BC Employment Standards Act
Authors: Blair Chase
Published: January 2023

Articled students in Canada tend to be exempt from provincial employment standards legislation, which govern minimum hourly wages and overtime and statutory holiday pay rates. Exemption from these provisions, along with the strong power dynamic present in the articled student-principal relationship, has fostered exploitative working conditions for articled students. To justify the exclusion of articled students from employment standards legislation, supporters of the status quo have propagated the narrative that articled students’ labour is not that of an employee, despite evidence to the contrary. In recent years, advocates have proposed various reforms to improve the working conditions of articled students, but they have not targeted employment standards legislation itself. With a focus on British Columbia, this article argues that a better solution to improve the working conditions of articled students is to apply the base provisions of the Employment Standards Act. Further, on closer examination, assertions that such an approach is contrary to the public interest are more rhetorical than substantive.

Published: January 2023

Background and Objective: In the Japanese primary care setting, a set of questions to screen patients’ social circumstances has never been developed in a scientific manner. This project aimed to reach a consensus among diverse experts to develop a set of such questions, to meet the need for assessing patients’ health-related social circumstances.
Methods: We used a Delphi technique to generate expert consensus. The expert panel was composed of various clinical professionals, medical trainees, researchers, support members for marginalized people, and patients. We conducted multiple rounds of communication online. In round 1, the participants provided their opinions about what health care professionals should ask to assess patients' social circumstances in primary care settings. These data were analyzed into several themes. In round 2, all themes were confirmed by consensus.
Results: Sixty-one people participated in the panel. All participants completed the rounds. Six themes were generated and confirmed: economic condition and employment, access to health care and other services, living in everyday life and leisure time, total physiological needs, tools and technology, and history of the patient's life. In addition, the panelists emphasized the importance of respecting the patient's preferences and values.
Conclusion: A questionnaire, abbreviated by the acronym of HEALTH+P, was developed. Further research about its clinical feasibility and impact on patient outcomes is warranted.

Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of bacterial meningitis, particularly beyond the neonatal period. This article describes a 16-month-old girl who presented with a new-onset febrile status epilepticus, and subsequently developed altered mentality and lethargy. L. monocytogenes was detected on a point-of-care, multiplex polymerase chain reaction using the cerebrospinal fluid. On day 3, she developed a rapidly progressive hydrocephalus. Her consciousness improved after placement of an external ventricular drain. After 3-week antibiotic therapy, she was successfully discharged without residual complications.
The Trajectory of Pharmacometrics to Support Drug Licensing & Labelling
Authors: Dunn Allison , Gobburu Jogarao
Published: January 2023

The field of pharmacometrics has been responsible for countless
advancements within the drug development space. In recent years, we have
witnessed the implementation of both new and revived analytical methods
to increase clinical trial success and even supplement the need for
clinical trials all together. Throughout this article we will explore
the path of pharmacometrics from its inception to present day. At this
point in time, the target of drug development has been the average
patient, and population approaches have primarily been utilized to
support just that. The challenge we are now facing involves the
translation from treating the typical patient to treating the real-world
patient. For this reason, it is our opinion that future development
efforts should account more for the individual. With advanced
pharmacometric methods and growing technological infrastructure,
precision medicine can become a development priority rather than a
clinician’s burden.

Published: January 2023

Background and Purpose: Epimedii Folium is a traditional herb
widely-utilized in China. Recently, our study discovered that Epimedin B
(EB), as a high-content, low-toxicity flavonoid compound in Epimedii
Folium extract, strongly showed melanogenesis and tyrosinase activation
effect. However, there are no studies of EB in pigment synthesis and
regulation mechanism. This study aims to evaluate the pigmentation
effect of EB and elucidate the melanogenic mechanism. Experimental
Approach: Melanin contents in melanoma cells, primary human melanocytes,
human skin tissues, and intracellular melanosomes changes were
determined to evaluate the melanogenic effect of EB. The influence of
TYRs expression was determined by RNA sequencing and mRNA/proteins
changes. The tyrosinase activity were tested on mushroom tyrosinase,
depigmented models of melanoma cells, zebrafishes and C57BL/6 mice. The
stability of TYRs were investigated by monobenzone-induced TYRs
degradation on melanoma cells, skin tissues and C57BL/6 mice, analyzed
by cellular ubiquitin, chaperone co-expression, and endoplasmic
reticulum/ proteasome co-localization assays. Key Results: EB increased
TYRs expression through MITF-mediated pathways, then to promote
melanosome number and maturation for melanogenesis. Additionally, EB
exerted repigmentation through activating tyrosinase activity in
multiple tyrosinase inhibitive models. Furthermore, EB could protect
monobenzone-induced TYRs degradation and repigmentation in vitro and in
vivo, enhance TYRs stability via inhibiting misfolded tyrosinase,
TYR-related protein 1 formation, retention in endoplasmic reticulum, and
ubiquitin-proteasome system. Conclusion and Implications: These data
conclude that EB can target TYRs from expression, catalytic activity and
stability approaches to exhibit pigmentation function, which might
provide a novel rational strategy for hypopigmentation in pharmaceutical
and cosmetic industries.

Background: Leukemia is a malignancy of white blood
cells in which acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloblastic
leukemia (AML) are most common in children. With The 5-year survival
rate has increased 87% in 2005, the treatment of ALL also aims to
improve quality of life. There was no research
in Palembang about factors affecting the quality of life in children
with ALL before. Objective: The purpose of this study
was to identify the factors that influence the quality of life of ALL
children. Methods: A cross-sectional design
observational analytic study was used to analyze the relationship
between the quality of life of one-hundred twelve patients who
participated in Hemato-oncology division and the Growth and
Development-Social Pediatric (GaDSOP) division of RSUP dr. Mohammad
Hoesin Palembang from September 2021–August 2022 with PedsQL
. Results: The proportion of poor
quality of life based on parental reports was 32.2% and 20.8% based on
children’s reports. Despite only 24.1% that lived in the urban and
female proportion only 34.8%, from multivariate analysis, according to
the reports from parents and children, female living in the urban with
malnutrition and sleep disorders was 93.21% and 99.28% more at risk of
experiencing poor life quality respectively. Conclusion:
Factors that influence poor life quality in this research according to
parents were gender, place of residence, malnutrition, and sleep
disturbances whereas according to children were gender, sleep
disturbances, movement, and activity disorders.
