MOBILIDADE ACADÊMICA INTERNACIONAL DE LICENCIANDOS DA FEUSP: UMA DESCRIÇÃO REFERENTE AO PERÍODO DE 2015 A 2017
Authors: Marruche Vanessa de Sales
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho é fruto de análises realizadas pelo Grupo de Estudos de Internacionalização da Comissão de Cooperação Nacional e Internacional da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo (CCint-FEUSP), incentivadas e coordenadas pelo Prof. Dr. Valdir Heitor Barzotto, na gestão de 2014-2018. A proposta deste estudo de natureza qualitativa foi descrever a mobilidade internacional de 26 licenciandos da FEUSP, realizada no período de 2015 a 2017, a fim de descobrir o perfil desses estudantes e as atividades de que participaram. Como material, foram utilizados os relatórios produzidos por esses licenciandos. Em termo teóricos, embasou-se em obras que tratam da internacionalização da educação superior (Morosini, 2006; Morosini; Corte, 2018; Morosini; Corte; Guilherme, 2017), do estudo da mobilidade internacional de professores pré-serviço (Abraham; Von Brömssen, 2018; Cushner, 2007; Morley et al., 2019; Vatalaro; Szente; Levin, 2015) e da formação de professores, com foco nos estágios e nos saberes docentes (Pimenta; Lima, 2004; 2012; Tardif, 2014). Essa proposta se justifica, pois, para que se possa aumentar e/ou melhorar a mobilidade estudantil que vem ocorrendo na FEUSP, é necessário, antes, compreender como a internacionalização tem se dado nesse contexto de formação inicial de professores. Dentre os resultados, verificou-se que o perfil dos estudantes da mobilidade realizada nesse período foi de discentes do sexo feminino, com viagem realizada no segundo semestre do ano da viagem, com destino a países do Global Norte, principalmente da Europa. Ainda, no que tange às atividades realizadas, identificou-se 12 tipos, das quais nenhuma foi realizada por todos os estudantes, sendo disciplinas cursadas a que mais se destacou. Finalmente, por se tratar de mobilidade acadêmica de licenciandos, sugere-se que os estágios sejam mais incentivados e realizados nos países de destino, com tempo hábil para o exercício da reflexão sobre essas experiências.
NOTAS SOBRE O FASCÍNIO PELO NORTE E A COOPERAÇÃO COM O SUL: INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO BRASIL - BULGÁRIA
Authors: Cezário Vanessa Cardoso
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo, temos por objetivo discutir um caso de internacionalização no Eixo Sul-Sul. A partir da participação na Cooperação Bilateral entre Brasil e Bulgária (2010 - 2020), formulamos a hipótese de que junto às questões oficiais desse tipo de trabalho, há um elemento oficioso pouco abordado, o fascínio pelo Eixo Norte. Tendo em vista a exemplaridade do caso, o argumento será desenvolvido por meio de metodologia qualitativa, apoiada em documentos e referências bibliográficas concernentes ao tema. Chegamos à conclusão de que embora essa hipótese possa ser confirmada tanto no que diz respeito ao trabalho já realizado quanto em relação às orientações para trabalhos futuros, o cenário está mudando. As parcerias Sul-Sul podem tornar o Norte um destino e referência possível dentre outras. No mais, o presente trabalho funciona como um  registro e incentivo para publicações que gerem conhecimento sobre iniciativas semelhante visto a necessidade de reunir, aferir e sistematizar dados sobre a internacionalização no Brasil.

Authors: Juniawan I Made
Published: October 2024

Lifebalance has emerged as the solution to attaining happiness and well-being, counteracting the various modern ailments that afflict us. Humans, from the traditional era to the digital age, engage in a multitude of leisure and recreational activities with the aim of maintaining a balanced life. Nevertheless, the pervasive influence of technology and the internet has had a notable effect on human behaviors, particularly with the prevalence of 'phubbing'—a tendency to prioritize gadgets over interpersonal interactions and engagement with the surrounding environment. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced among the internet generation (iGeneration). This article delves into the socio-cultural changes in society related to leisure and recreation patterns, considering the backdrop of high interaction with information technology. The focus is on the meaning, significance, and extent to which Denpasar City serves as a hub for leisure and recreation. The study employs a qualitative approach, situated in the capital city of Denpasar, Bali. The research's primary subject is the iGeneration, spanning from 1995 to 2010 and currently aged between 13 and 28. Data collection methods include participatory observation, documentation, questionnaires, and structured interviews. The results indicate that the iGeneration's leisure and recreation patterns in Denpasar City encompass sports activities, social interactions, beach visits, shopping, and movie-watching. The interpretation of recreation can be classified into four distinct categories: as a means of physical and spiritual rejuvenation, as self-indulgence, as a platform for learning and skill development, and as an element of work-life balance. It's worth noting that around 56.6% of iGeneration recreation activities are centralized in Denpasar City, highlighting a preference for urban activities compared to those in rural areas or outside the city.

The Impact of Drug Abuse on Families and Society (Literature Review)
Authors: Manurung Lengsi
Published: October 2024

Drug abuse poses a significant challenge to families and society, manifesting in various detrimental effects. Within families, substance abuse can lead to emotional distress, financial strain, and a breakdown of trust and relationships. It often results in neglect or abuse of children, creating an unstable home environment that hampers the psychological and emotional development of young family members. Additionally, drug abuse can lead to domestic violence and an increase in healthcare and legal issues for the family. On a societal level, drug abuse contributes to increased healthcare costs, loss of productivity, and higher crime rates. The burden on public health systems grows as more individuals require medical treatment for addiction and related health complications. Economically, businesses suffer from decreased productivity and higher absenteeism among employees who struggle with substance abuse. Crime rates tend to escalate as individuals may engage in illegal activities to fund their addiction, which strains law enforcement and judicial systems. Social services also face increased pressure as they work to support affected families and individuals. Efforts to combat drug abuse require comprehensive strategies that include prevention, education, treatment, and rehabilitation programs. Support systems for families, improved access to mental health services, and community-based interventions are crucial to mitigating the impact of drug abuse. By addressing the root causes and providing robust support mechanisms, it is possible to alleviate the profound effects of drug abuse on both families and society.

Authors: Tasiyah Diana , Erawati Meri
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the existence of Keroncong music in Sawahlunto City 2012 – 2023. This research uses heuristic research methods, source criticism, interpretation, historiography. Based on the research results, it can be concluded: The research results show that musical arts in Sawahlunto City originate from ethnic Javanese workers who are employed in mines. These workers eventually formed the Keroncong Orchestra group, which was first formed in the 1940s and consisted of only ethnic Javanese people. However, over time, cultural acculturation occurred, including the use of tools, players and songs used in Keroncong music. Keroncong in the city continues to feel strongly tied to local customs, and is often featured in community-involved events and festivals, highlighting the original and unique aspects of the region. 3) From a perspective outside Sawahlunto City, keroncong music tends to be made by incorporating modern elements and collaboration with other genres, making it more easily accepted by the general public.
The effect of immunonutrition support on the prognostic nutritional index in the postoperative period in brain tumors
Authors: Akmansu Müge , Korucu Yasin , Dabak Gönülal Semanur
Published: October 2024

Objective: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) reflects the immunological response and nutritional status. We evaluated the effect of immunonutrition on PNI in patients with brain tumors receiving chemoradiotherapy and immunonutritional support.
Methods: Demographic, laboratory and clinical data were collected retrospectively from 30 consecutive brain tumor patients who received brain chemoradiotherapy between 2019 and 2022 in our clinic and who were given immunonutrition support during their treatment. The cut-off PNI value before adjuvant therapy was calculated in patients who received immunonutrition support in the postoperative period and compared with the PNI values after adjuvant therapy.
Results: While glioblastoma patients constitute the majority (60%) of all patients diagnosed as pathological, different histopathological brain tumors were also included in the study (meningioma, oligodendroglioma). The mean albümin value before adjuvant treatment was 4.04 g/dL, while the mean albümin value after adjuvant treatment increased to 4.16 g/dL (p=0,057). The optimal cut-off value for PNI was found to be 45.5 by ROC analysis. PNI was calculated as 49.38 ± 6.03 SD before adjuvant treatment and 49.40 ± 6.12 SD after adjuvant treatment (p>0.05).
Retrospective analysis was conducted on over 30 HGG patients who did not receive immunonutritional supplementation containing Arg/gln/HMB (Arginine/glutamine/Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate). Interestingly, the analysis revealed that the average PNI was 45.15 before adjuvant therapy and decreased to 42.26 after adjuvant therapy, indicating a statistically significant decline in PNI among those without immunonutritional supplementation. This finding suggests a potential beneficial impact of immunonutritional supplementation on PNI.
Conclusions: Immunonutrition support has positive effects on PNI and albumin levels in brain tumor patients who will undergo postoperative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy. It can be thought that low PNI, which may be an indicator of hematological and nutritional toxicity predicted by brain chemoradiotherapy, can be prevented by immunonutrition support.

The Multifaceted Role of miR-18b in Cancer: Exploring Oncogenic and Tumor-Suppressive Functions
Authors: Sadri Farzad , Rezaei Zohreh
Published: October 2024

Cancer continues to pose a major global health challenge due to its high mortality rates and increasing incidence. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, are pivotal in the development of cancer, serving either as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. miR-18b has become involved in a number of cancers and has been shown to perform both tumor-suppressive and carcinogenic activities. This review examines the biogenesis, molecular mechanisms, and functional roles of miR-18b across several cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and other malignancies. Treatment resistance, metastasis, and the advancement of cancer are all influenced by miR-18b through its regulation of vital pathways and interactions with circular and long non-coding RNAs. These findings emphasize the importance of miR-18b in developing cancer treatment approaches by highlighting its possible roles as a therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker.
Analyzing the Mutational Landscape of Prostate Cancer Susceptibility Genes through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Analysis
Authors: Ali Akbar , Yaz Hamid
Published: October 2024

Prostate cancer, a significant public health concern, exhibits a complex genetic landscape influenced by a variety of susceptibility genes. This study deciphers the intricate genetic makeup of prostate cancer by examining mutations in 14 prostate cancer susceptibility genes. The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) approach was employed on a cohort of 45 prostate cancer patients to detect mutations. The gnomAD database was used to analyze mutational frequencies in the Asian population suffering from prostate cancer. The cBioPortal database was employed to check the presence of observed mutations in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. In addition, this study employed RT-qPCR and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques were utilized to check the functional consequences of the observed pathogenic mutations. Finally, Metascape and DrugBank resources were used for gene enrichment and drug prediction analyses. Results of the NGS analysis revealed a total of 29 mutations (pathogenic and benign) within the examined prostate cancer cohort, distributed across four key genes (BRCA1/2, TP53, and PMS2) out of the total analyzed 14 genes. Pathogenic mutations in BRCA1/2 and TP53 genes are of particular interest due to their fundamental roles in DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and tumor suppression. Functional consequence analyses (RT-qPCR and IHC) demonstrated the down-regulation of BRCA1/2 and TP53 genes in prostate cancer samples with pathogenic mutations, reinforcing the disruption of their tumor suppressor roles. Lastly, drug prediction analysis uncovered promising therapeutic options by identifying drugs capable of enhancing the mRNA expression of these genes. This opens new avenues for tailored treatment strategies aimed at restoring normal cellular functions of the BRCA1/2 and TP53 genes. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive view of genetic mutations in prostate cancer susceptibility genes, ranging from benign to pathogenic. It emphasizes the genetic complexity of prostate cancer and offers insights into potential mechanisms driving this malignancy. These findings lay the groundwork for further research, personalized treatment approaches, and enhanced clinical management of prostate cancer.

The quantity of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) that is displayed by the members of an organization is directly linked to the degree to which the organization is successful or unsuccessful. Being aware of the factors that greatly contribute to the development of this kind of mentality among workers is of the utmost importance for the sports sector. This is because of the reasons stated above. Although there have only been a few studies that have been conducted in depth on the issue, there is a large gap in the research that has been done on the subject of the influence of OCBs on employee performance in the sports industry. This is despite the fact that there have only been a few studies that have been examined in depth. This research was conducted with the intention of determining whether or not there is a correlation between organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and performance in the sports industry in Nairobi County, Kenya. According to the findings of the study, factors that have an impact on productivity include being selfless and being pleasant to coworkers. Both of these factors were found to have an impact. It was also discovered that showing kindness to one's coworkers has an effect. According to the findings of the study that was carried out today, social exchange theory served as the foundation. An approach to study that is based on explanation was utilized all during the course of the examination. For the purpose of representing the Central Business District of Nairobi, seventy-four hundred and forty-eight individuals from twenty-five different sports were selected.

Élasticités et effet rebond des véhicules légers au Canada
Authors: Figueras de Stoutz Clément
Published: October 2024

Although reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an imperative, environmental policies can run into two pitfalls: the rebound effect and inelastic demand for gasoline. If a vehicle is more fuel-efficient but is used more often, this reduces the expected energy savings (rebound effect). Similarly, increasing the price of gasoline via carbon pricing has little effect on demand if it is not very sensitive (inelastic) to price.
To determine the value of these parameters for light vehicles in Canada, I use data for the ten provinces between 2000 and 2019 to estimate a simultaneous three-equation model of aggregate demand for kilometers traveled, vehicle fleet and fuel efficiency.
While the rebound effect is worth 9 % in the short term and 30 % in the long term, gasoline demand is found to be inelastic in both cases. These values are broadly consistent with those found in the literature. A rise in gasoline prices therefore reduces purchasing power rather than consumption. Similarly, in the long term, a 10 % increase in fuel efficiency would increase distance travelled by 3 %.

Résultats d’un pré-test visant à évaluer l’efficacité d’une communication administrative gouvernementale (note de recherche)
Authors: Fortin Andréanne
Published: October 2024

This research note presents partial results of a user test assessing the “communicative effectiveness” (Clerc & Beaudet, 2008) of a written communication aimed at citizens penalized for driving under the influence. The doctoral candidate is interested in the users interaction with an informational ecosystem composed of multiple sources of information. She compares the effectiveness of three ecosystems by checking their effects on users' comprehension, appreciation, and mental workload. These objectives require expanding the usual scope of the “communicative effectiveness” concept and exploring aspects related to reading/using multiple texts in an administrative context.
The tests were conducted with 15 French-speaking adults without a high school diploma. An adapted version of the NASA-TLX questionnaire (Hart & Staveland, 1988) was used to measure mental workload. The data suggest that when faced with a letter of a high informational density, users with low literacy levels focus their attention on peripheral details at the expense of the main ideas. No correlation was observed between comprehension and mental workload. The data are now considered a "pre-test" used to refine the research design for a second wave of interviews.

Diante das mudanças na composição demográfica do Brasil, com o aumento da proporção de idosos, novos desafios e oportunidades estão surgindo. A chamada inversão da pirâmide etária demanda adaptações em várias áreas, como saúde e previdência. O objetivo deste é analisar como o envelhecimento humano é incorporado nas instituições de ensino de graduação em medicina do Extremo Sul da Bahia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental de carater exploratório, do tipo descritivo, e de natureza qualitativa, que tem como sujeitos de estudo Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) do Extremo Sul da Bahia que ofertam o curso de Medicina. Os dados foram coletados a partir dos Projetos Pedagógicos do Curso (PPC) e das matrizes disponíveis nos sites das instituições. Houve uma comparação entre os PPCs, as matrizes curriculares e os requisitos mínimos estabelecidos pela Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia (SBGG) para uma formação médica adequada em saúde do idoso. A presença de disciplinas relacionadas ao envelhecimento ao longo dos seis anos do curso de Medicina também foi investigada. Os documentos analisados demostraram que apenas uma (33,3%) das instituições ofertava disciplinas específicas à saúde do idoso de modo autônomo. Outras duas IES (66,6%) apresentavam conteúdo relacionado ao idoso inserido dentro de outra disciplina. Além disso, foi evidenciado que nenhuma das IES estudadas atenderam a todos os requisitos básicos solicitados pela SBGG. Para satisfazer as necessidades de uma sociedade em envelhecimento é importante que as Instituições de Ensino Superior adaptem de forma contínua os seus currículos, a fim de incluir conteúdos relevantes aos idosos. Isto irá garantir que os futuros médicos estejam preparados para prestar cuidados adequados aos desafios clínicos da terceira idade.

Authors:   Pedro Henrique Peres Roriz, Lima Amanda Dias , Ribeiro Amanda Lourenço
Published: October 2024

Analyzing the epidemiology of dengue in Brazil, focusing on the city of Araguaína in Tocantins, exploring the characteristics of the different virus serotypes, their clinical implications, and the importance of early diagnosis. A quantitative study was conducted with a time series analysis covering the period from 2014 to 2023. Using data from the Notification Diseases Information System (Sinan), the research correlated the number of dengue cases in Araguaína with variables such as sex, age, and months of the year. The objective was to ensure the accuracy of the results, avoiding distortions in interpretation. The research aims to provide information on the seasonality of the infection and identify more vulnerable groups, contributing to preventive actions. The analyzed data from SINAN indicate a significant increase in the incidence of dengue in Araguaína TO, especially during the months of higher rainfall, when conditions for the proliferation of Aedes aegypti are ideal. The research confirmed that the lack of adherence by the population to prophylactic measures contributes to this increase, reflecting the need to intensify awareness campaigns. It was also observed that the majority of reported cases are among women, suggesting a greater tendency to seek care in health units.

Bu çalışmanın amacı beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenleri ile diğer branş öğretmenlerinin beden algısı ve beden kitle indeksi arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın evrenini Antalya İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı okullarda görev yapan öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem grubunu ise 2023-2024 eğitim öğretim yılında Muratpaşa ilçesinde görev yapan öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Örnekleme grubu basit seçkisiz yöntem yoluyla belirlenmiştir. Ölçme aracı olarak Secord ve Jourand tarafından 1953’te geliştirilen ve 1992 yılında Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışması Hovardaoğlu tarafından yapılan Beden Algısı ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler normallik varsayımlarını sağladıktan sonra bağımsız örneklem testi (T-testi), tek yönlü varyans analizi (One-Way ANOVA), korelasyon (Pearson) ve Post Hoc testlerinden Tukey testi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda beden algısının medeni durum ve yaşadığınız bölgeye göre anlamlı bir farka rastlanmazken; düzenli spor yapma, öğretmenlik branşı ve cinsiyet değişkenlerinde anlamlı farklılıklara rastlanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda öğretmenlerin fiziksel benlik algılarını arttırılması için fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz konusunda bilinçlendirmek spora katılımlarının arttırmak konusunda beden eğitimi öğretmenlerine büyük bir rol düştüğü düşünülmektedir.

Challenges of Disabled Women in the Workplace: A Comparative Analysis of Public and Private Spaces in India
Authors:   Aligarh Muslim University, Ansari Habibul Rahman
Published: October 2024

This paper looks at the problems of disabled women face at work in India, comparing their experiences in government jobs and private companies. Despite laws to protect their rights, disabled women still struggle with many issues. These include difficulty getting around workplaces, unfair treatment, and lack of support. The paper found that government jobs often provide more job security and follow laws better. However, these jobs don't always allow disabled women to move up to better positions. Private companies sometimes offer more types of jobs, but they often lack proper support and equal pay for disabled women. To improve the situation, the paper suggests several steps. These include making sure existing laws are followed more strictly, giving rewards to companies that create good workplaces for disabled women, and teaching people about the rights and abilities of disabled women. The paper also recommends creating programs to help disabled women learn job skills and advance in their careers. By addressing these issues, India can create fairer and more accessible workplaces for disabled women, benefiting both the women and society as a whole.

Antônio Pereira, distrito de Ouro Preto, é um território explorado pela mineração e a comunidade é atingida pelas barragens. A Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP) juntamente com uma rede de parceiros, vem, desde 2019, realizando atividades de acolhimento e empoderamento dos moradores do distrito. Nesta direção, foi criado o programa de extensão e pesquisa “De mãos dadas com Antônio Pereira”. A Escola de Medicina (EMED) em parceria a Escola de Educação Física da UFOP (EEFUFOP) criou o projeto “AERODANCE em Antônio Pereira” com o objetivo de proporcionar à comunidade afetada, aulas gratuitas de dança, estabelecendo aprimoramento da saúde física e mental. Propôs-se que o projeto oferecesse aulas de dança para o ensino médio integral da Escola Estadual, com alunos que estão expostos aos problemas da comunidade. Durante o período em que as aulas de dança aconteceram, os feedbacks foram muito positivos, tanto da gestão escolar, quanto da comunidade. Foi observado maior participação dos alunos na escola nos dias em que o projeto estava presente. Ao longo da experiência, os estudantes que deram aulas na escola de Antônio Pereira aprenderam a criar planos de aula abordando a dança e cuidados corporais, realizaram apresentação final com entrega de certificados, estimularam os alunos desmotivados e focaram na melhoria da saúde coletiva, especialmente daqueles que precisam de apoio psicológico.
