Authors: Khademian Seyed Mohsen , Chaharsoughi Shahriar Ansari , Sohrabi Tahmoures
Published: February 2025

This study presents a model for the acceptance of blockchain technology in health and wellness centers, aiming to enhance security, service quality, and transparency. The primary objective is to identify the key factors influencing the acceptance of blockchain within these centers. We conducted in-depth interviews with 15 professionals, including IT managers, cybersecurity experts, senior health center managers, technology specialists, and university professors in health-related fields. Data were collected using a snowball sampling method and analyzed through the Grounded Theory approach to identify the key influencing factors and components. The findings reveal that the acceptance of blockchain technology in health and wellness centers is influenced by four primary dimensions: 1. Organizational (management support, organizational culture, organizational structure, and human resources), 2. Technological (technology infrastructure, technology standards, practical and technological solutions, and technical expertise), 3. Social (awareness and understanding, attitudes and beliefs, social values and norms, and the role of social networks in adaption), and 4.Economic (cost management, achieving economic advantages, improving payment models and positive impacts on stakeholders). These dimensions form a comprehensive framework that can guide the successful implementation of blockchain technology in healthcare settings, with implications for improved efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery.

Published: February 2025

Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the differences in clinical parameters between cycles with normal in vitro fertilization (IVF) fertilization rates and those with low fertilization rates requiring rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (R-ICSI).
Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 606 IVF cycles and 97 R-ICSI cycles from January 2019 to August 2024. Non-parametric tests, logistic regression analysis, and ROC curves were employed to analyze the relationship between the data and identify the most influential indicators of fertilization failure.
Results:Significant differences were observed between the two groups in female age, male age, female BMI, type of infertility, years of infertility, sperm concentration, number of forward motile spermatozoa, PR, IM, DFI, and acrosomal enzyme activity (P < 0.05). Following R-ICSI, the normal fertilization rate increased from 17.16% (150/874) to 61.78% (540/874), significantly different from the 67.08% (3715/5538) observed in the IVF group (P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) for female BMI, DFI, and total progressively motile sperm cell count (TPMC) were 0.575, 0.617, and 0.703, respectively, with Youden indices of 0.13, 0.21, and 0.31.
Conclusions:The results suggest that TPMC is the most effective predictor of fertilization failure.
Multi-Source Traffic State Estimation: Exploring Advanced Filtering Algorithms for Rural Arterial Networks
Authors: Khan Taimor Ali
Published: February 2025

Traffic state estimation (TSE) is essential for enhancing transportation systems by providing critical, real-time data on road conditions to support decision-making and optimize network performance. Traditional TSE methods have predominantly focused on highways, relying on single-source data inputs like loop detectors or GPS data, which may limit adaptability in diverse traffic scenarios. However, the integration of multi-source data spanning loop detectors, GPS, and Bluetooth has opened new pathways for improved accuracy and responsiveness in TSE models, particularly within rural arterial networks and at complex intersections. This review analyzes the progression of TSE methodologies, focusing on model-based techniques such as the Kalman Filter (KF), Sliding Kalman Filter (SKF), and cell transmission models. By examining the combined use of varied data inputs, this review underscores the benefits of multi-source fusion in accurately capturing dynamic traffic conditions in rural settings. Key challenges, including non-linear traffic flows, inherent data noise, and the limitations of current validation methods, are discussed. Future research directions are identified, highlighting the need for adaptable algorithms that can effectively manage the complex, variable datasets characteristic of rural traffic environments.
Kinetic and Thermodynamic Models for the Formation of Furan in Thermally Processed Foods: A Theoretical and Computational Study
Authors: Nelson Peter N. , Mulder Willem H.
Published: February 2025

The formation of furan, a known carcinogen, in thermally processed foods represent a significant human health risk. Therefore, a clear mechanistic understanding of the transformation process of some common food components to yield furan/ furan-derivatives, is critical for the development of mitigation efforts or the prevention of furan formation in thermally processed foods. Therefore, in this study, density functional theoretical methods are applied in probing the possibility of furan formation from acetaldehyde, glycolaldehyde and aldotetrose on a step-by-step basis. The thermodynamic parameters associated with the transformation steps in the formation of furan from aldotetrose reveal an overall exergonic process, limited by its second step where ΔG‡25 = 327.61 kJ mol− 1. Furan is also generated from the reaction of acetaldehyde with glycolaldehyde via a complex multi-step process, limited by its first step where ΔG‡25 = 283 kJ mol− 1. Based on these findings, kinetic models governing the formation of furan/ furan derivatives are proposed.

Published: February 2025

In the evolving landscape of 21st-century space science, forecasting space weather events such as solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are crucial yet challenging. Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation caused by the release of magnetic energy in active regions and are often accompanied byCMEs. These events can significantly impact Earth’s space environment, causing disruptions in radio communication, satellite operations, and power grids. Monitoring the temporal evolution of active regions and providing early warnings of solar flares is essential to mitigate these risks. Deep learning techniques have demonstrated significant success in detecting and predicting time-dependent events. By leveraging spatial data through convolution operations with temporal correlations, we introduce 3D Temporal Convolutional Networks(3DTCNs) to efficiently analyze active region patches over time, leveraging spatial and temporal correlations. Additionally, we introduce separate predictor modules based on flare classification to enhance the performance of our EoFTC-Nets (Eye-on-Flare Temporal Convolutional Networks) nowcasting system.
Our results demonstrate that the proposed architecture matches or outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in the literature, achieving an accuracy exceeding 96% for a 24-hour forecasting window. Furthermore, the model is computationally efficient, consuming approximately 1.2 watts on Intel Movidius Myriad X, making it well-suited for onboard deployment and real-time space weather monitoring.

Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common chronic neurological disease in dogs, and a natural animal model for human epilepsy types with genetic and unknown etiology. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) is a promising target for improving brain health in individuals where brain function is hampered. It's role in the pathophysiology of epilepsy remains however unclear. We aimed to identify differences in fecal metabolome and microbiome between healthy and dogs with IE. To this purpose, fecal samples of healthy (n = 39) and dogs with IE (n = 49) were metabolically profiled (n = 148 metabolites) and fingerprinted (n = 3690 features) using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, and the bacterial phylogeny examined using 16S rRNA sequencing. Dogs with IE were categorized as drug-resistant (DR) (n = 27) or mild phenotype (MP) (n = 22). In dogs with DR IE, fecal metabolites such as histamine (P = 0.022) and microbiome genera such as Escherichia-Shigella (P = 0.021) increased, associated with a proinflammatory environment. In dogs with MP IE, alterations associated with anti-inflammatory properties, such as increased fecal serotonin (P = 0.034) and Blautia hominis (P = 0.012) were revealed. Overall, a role for the MGBA communication in canine IE was established.

Published: February 2025

Diabetic Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a degenerative disease resulting from changes in tendon tissue homeostasis caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus. The cure of diabetic AT is difficult to achieve due to the limited regeneration capacity of the tendon. Therefore, a new approach to effectively improve AT healing is needed for further investigation. Previous research has investigated the effect of exosomes from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC-Exos) in tendon pathological conditions. Nevertheless, their influence on a diabetic rat model of AT remains unexplored. This study aims to determine the effect of injection of BM-MSC-Exos on diabetic rat model of AT based on histology analysis and ADAM12 gene expression. A total of 12 male white Sprague Dawley rats were grouped into two groups consisting of the tendinopathy control group and the exosome group. Postmortem Achilles tendon histology analysis on day 21 was carried out using the semiquantitative Bonar score method, quantitative histomorphometry of ground substance, and histomorphometry of collagen area using hematoxylin-eosin, alcian blue, and Masson's trichrome staining. Changes in ADAM12 gene expression were examined quantitatively using qRT-PCR. The administration of BM-MSC-Exos in a diabetic Achilles tendinopathy rat model significantly improved tendon histology repair, as evidenced by a marked decrease in the Bonar score. Histomorphometric analysis of the ground substance area showed a significant decrease, indicating the inhibition of osteo-chondrogenic differentiation in the Achilles tendon. Although collagen area histomorphometry displayed an increasing trend, no significant difference was observed on day 21. No significant difference in relative ADAM12 mRNA expression was found between the control and treatment groups, despite an increasing trend observed in the exosome-injected group. The administration of BM-MSC-Exos was proven to have the potential to trigger improvement in diabetic Achilles tendinopathy on day 21.

tuberculosis in Libya within ten years’ period (2015- 2024).
Authors: Daw Mohamed Ali
Published: February 2025

Results: During the entire study period, 26478 TB cases were reported from all 22 municipalities in Libya with an annual rate of 40.29 /100,000 (95% CI: (40.229 ± 9.01). The highest incidence was reported in 2015 and the lowest one in 2024. The notification rate among males was significantly higher than that of females (P < 0.001). The highest CNR was reported in the Eastern region followed by Western and Southern regions. The geospatial distribution was evident and heterogeneous throughout the country and over time. High-rate and low-rate clusters were predominantly distributed in the periods. High clusters were concentrated northeast and northwest, though low-level clusters were mainly located in the middle and the southern region of the country. Conclusion: The results of this study provided clear insights into the geographic and spatiotemporal mapping of TB in Libya. There was an overall decreasing trend in TB CNR from 2015 to 2025 parallel with high-risk and low-risk areas. This information should allow the decision-making personnel to implement proper policies to combat TB at national and regional levels.
ANALYSIS OF JOURNALISM STANDARDS IN CITIZEN JOURNALISM CONTENT: A CASE OF TANZANIA BLOGS
Authors:   PhD, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT)., Kaale Kaanaeli
Published: February 2025

Tanzania saw the emergence of online platforms in the 2000s, leading to the proliferation of online media initiatives. Unfortunately, many of these initiatives often disregarded journalistic principles and ethics and disseminated distorted news. To protect the public from inappropriate content, the Content Committee of the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA-CC) oversees and regulates electronic media through The Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) (Amendment) Regulations, 2022. However, scientific research in Tanzania has yet to fully explore the adherence of online media, mainly blogs, to the ethics and principles of journalism. This study, with its three specific objectives, presents a novel approach by investigating the news values of citizen journalism about professional journalism standards, assessing citizen journalism content against the professional journalism code of ethics, and examining the language used in citizen journalism about professional journalistic standards. This study employs content analysis of 10 blogs and incorporates interviews with five respondents to gather insights on the experience of using blogs. The study, which is of significant importance to the field of journalism, employed a purposive sampling method to select blog accounts pertinent to news, along with five respondents possessing experience in applying blogs within journalism practices. This study employed content analysis and interviews to obtain information on news values and ethics in journalism. The results indicate that all 10 blogs comply with the principles and ethics of journalism. In terms of language, the blogs employ a combination of Swahili and English, particularly in advertisements. The findings indicate that bloggers have pursued journalism education and engaged academic editors to ensure compliance with the Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) (Amendment) Regulations, 2022. The study concluded that blogs do not violate the values and ethics of citizen journalism instead, they serve as a significant new media platform. These factors are crucial in addressing the long-standing rural development deficit, which demands our attention. The study recommends that journalism schools enhance education on new media to equip more young individuals with skills for self-employment in the news sector, stimulate development, and promote online media. The study is significant to media practitioners and decision-makers because it indicates that Tanzanias upholding of journalistic standards promotes community discourse and serves as a vital platform for fostering rural development. Thus, they effectively address the void created by mainstream media since the inception of media use in Tanzania.

Background: It has been found in various observational studies done till now that many micro and macro vascular complications start developing earlier to the diagnosis of T2DM. So, it becomes very important to diagnose this earlier stage of T2DM i.e. Prediabetes. It is at this stage when one can prevent progression of Pre diabetes to frank T2DM.

Objective:

Primiray Objective:To compare Nerve Conduction parameters in Prediabetics and healthy individuals (sensory and motor nerve).

Secondary Objective:To correlate HbA1c with nerve conduction parameters in Prediabetic individuals.

Material And Methods: A study on nerve conduction was conducted on the motor median, motor ulnar, motor tibial, sensory median and sural nerves. Prediabetic cases and healthy controls not associated with any pathology mentioned in exclusion criteria were included in the study. Their clinical history had taken and all routine and special investigations have carried out as per patient proforma. After collecting the blood samples, patients were referred from medicine to Physiology department for nerve conduction study, in which NCV parameters (Nerve conduction velocity and amplitude) were recorded.After explaining the purpose of the study and requisite details regarding the same, written informed consent was obtained from all patients as per ethical board guidelines.

Control Group (Group 1): comprise of 65 healthy individuals (NGT).

Prediabetic Group (Group 2): comprise of 65 individuals diagnosed with prediabetes (IGT).

Results: Ncv and Amplitude was reduced in prediabetics compared to healthy individuals.Significantnegativecorrelation was found between HbA1cand nerve conduction parameters in Prediabetic individuals.

Conclusion: By diagnosing it early in the course of prediabetes, morbidity and mortality secondary to neuropathy can be prevented. It may assist the physicians in early detection of nerve damage and to start timely intervention, if required to prevent further complications. So, it is suggested that nerve conduction study should be inducted in routine investigations of prediabetic cases for early diagnosis of cognitive decline.

Detecting Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Disease Using Multiple Wearable Sensors Sets During Various Walking Tasks Relative to Medication Conditions (DetectFoG): Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Cordillet Sébastien , Drapier Sophie , Leh Frédérique , Dumont Audeline , Bidet Florian , Bonan Isabelle , Jamal Karim
Published: February 2025

Background

Freezing of gait (FoG) is one of the most disabling symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD). Detecting and monitoring episodes of FoG are important in the medical follow-up of patients to assess disease progression and functional impact and to adjust treatment accordingly. Although several questionnaires exist, they lack objectivity. Using wearable sensors such as inertial measurement units (IMUs) to detect FoG episodes offers greater objectivity and accuracy. There is no consensus on the number and location of IMU, type of algorithm, and method of triggering and scoring the FoG episodes.

Objective

The objective of this study is to investigate the use of multiple wearable sensors sets to detect FoG in patients with PD during various walking tasks under different medication conditions.

Methods

This single-center, prospective cohort study (DetectFoG) will include 18 patients with PD. Patients will be fitted with 7 IMUs and will walk a freezing-provoking path under different tasks—“single task,” “dual motor task,” or “dual cognitive task”—and medical conditions corresponding to levodopa medication (“on” or “off”). Passages will be videotaped, and 2 movement disorder specialists will identify FoG episodes in the videos. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the most effective combination of wearable sensors for detecting FoG episodes will be studied.

Results

The study is currently in the data collection phase, having commenced recruitment in February 2024. Once all data have been gathered, the data analysis will commence. As of August 2024, 3 patients have been recruited. It is anticipated that the results will be published by the end of 2025.

Conclusions

Detecting FoG episodes in various medical and clinical settings would provide a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon. Furthermore, it would enable reliable and objective monitoring of the progression of this symptom based on treatments and the natural course of the disease. This could serve as an objective tool for monitoring patients and assessing the severity and frequency of FoG.

Authors: Chang Shao-Hsuan , Chen Daishi , Chen Chi-Sheng , Zhou Dong , Yeh Lung-Kun
Published: February 2025

Background

Rhinolaryngoscopes are one of the most widely used tools by otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists in current clinical practice. However, there is limited data on adverse events associated with or caused by the use of rhinolaryngoscopes.

Objective

In this study, we used the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database with the aim of providing insights that may assist otolaryngologists in better understanding the limitations of these devices and selecting appropriate procedures for their specific clinical setting.

Methods

We characterized complications associated with the postmarket use of rhinolaryngoscope devices from the US Food and Drug Administration MAUDE database from 2016 through 2023.

Results

A total of 2591 reports were identified, including 2534 device malfunctions, 56 injuries, and 1 death, from 2016 through 2023. The most common device problem with rhinolaryngoscopes was breakage (n=1058 reports, 40.8%), followed by fluid leaks (n=632 reports, 24.4%). The third most common problem was poor image quality (n=467 reports, 18%). Other device issues included contamination or device reprocessing problems (n=127 reports, 4.9%), material deformation or wear (n=125 reports, 4.8%), and device detachment (n=73 reports, 2.8%). Of the 63 reported adverse events, the most common patient-related adverse event was hemorrhage or bleeding, accounting for 18 reports, with the root causes including material deformation or wear, breakage, wrinkled rubber, or improper operation.

Conclusions

Our study offers valuable insights for endoscopists and manufacturers to recognize potential issues and adverse events associated with the use of rhinolaryngoscopes. It emphasizes the need for improving device reliability, training, and procedural protocols to enhance patient safety during diagnostic procedures.
The Influence of Harsh Parenting on Adolescent Anxiety: The Sequential Mediating Roles of Interpersonal Sensitivity and Ego-Depletion
Authors: Li Chenyue , Zhu Qianqian , Chen Changming
Published: February 2025

Harsh parenting, characterized by punitive and controlling behaviors, has been increasingly linked to the development of anxiety disorders in adolescents. This study explores the mechanisms through which harsh parenting contributes to adolescent anxiety, focusing on the sequential mediation of Interpersonal Sensitivity (IS) and ego depletion. Drawing on the Emotion Dysregulation Model of Anxiety (EDMA), we propose that harsh parenting disrupts emotional regulation by fostering heightened IS, which, in turn, depletes self-control resources, exacerbating anxiety. Using a chain mediation model, we hypothesize that (1) harsh parenting positively correlates with adolescent IS, (2) ego depletion mediates the relationship between harsh parenting and anxiety, and (3) IS and ego depletion sequentially mediate this relationship. By examining these interconnected pathways, the study aims to provide insights into the underlying processes contributing to adolescent anxiety and offer valuable directions for early interventions aimed at improving mental health outcomes in adolescents.
ON THE NEED FOR FORWARD-LOOKING POLICYMAKING: AN ECUADORIAN CASE
Authors: Gómez Ramírez Leopoldo , Sánchez Gonzalo E.
Published: February 2025

While allowing the refiling of taxes in the case of legitimate mistakes is reasonable, there is empirical evidence showing that the unlimited ability to refile may incentivize evasion. However, theoretical models examining limiting unlimited refilings are nonexistent. Therefore, this paper develops a model to study the role of allowing an unlimited number of tax refilings on the behavior of taxpayers that received tax notifications because they under-reported taxes, as it was seen in the case of Ecuador between 2010 and 2012. Among other things, the key finding of the examination is that, if taxpayers are allowed to refile as many times as they want, the best decision for selfish taxpayers is to evade taxes. Contributing to the tax compliance literature but from a broader perspective as well, this paper demonstrates the importance of considering behavior through careful theoretical analysis before implementing new tax policies.

Secondary cholangitis can be caused by the repair of the biliary tract due to different situations. Bilioenteric anastomosis, when losing the valvular mechanism, produces intestinal reflux towards the biliary tract conditioning a higher risk of inflammation - recurrent infection. Cholangioresonance is the imaging method of choice to determine both the normal anatomy of the biliary tree, as well as to evaluate post-surgical changes and complications such as: biliomas, bleeding, abscesses, and to determine their location, so it is important to have the patient's clinical data and history. There are several types of surgical techniques that require the radiologist to be familiar with them and together with the different image sequences will allow a correct interpretation of the images and thus determine the causes of the patient's ailment. Keywords: Cholangioresonance; biliary anatomy; biliodigestive anastomosis; biliary postoperative complications; cholangitis

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare form of urinary tract infection involving the presence of gas within the bladder. This condition occurs when gas-producing bacteria infect the bladder and generate gas bubbles inside it. The bacteria most commonly associated with emphysematous cystitis are those that produce gas as a result of glucose fermentation. Symptoms may include painful urination, frequent urge to urinate, pelvic discomfort, and in more severe cases, the presence of gas can be detected on abdominal X-rays or CT scans. Keywords: Emphysematous cystitis; urinary tract infection; diabetes mellitus; urinary catheter.

Published: February 2025

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) -nonHodgkin- originates in the brain, eye, leptomeninges, or spinal cord without evidence of systemic lymphoma at the time of diagnosis. PCNSL is considered a rare malignant neoplasm, comprising 0.85% to 2% of all primary brain tumors, most commonly located in the periventricular region of the lateral ventricles; the majority are supratentorial in 50% to 70% of cases. The most common histopathological subtypes observed in the central nervous system are large B-cell lymphomas. For a definitive diagnosis, a biopsy is necessary to obtain histopathological and immunohistochemical confirmation, enabling the selection of specific treatment. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used as the primary treatments, with relapse occurring in 15% to 20% of cases within the first year and an overall 5-year survival rate from diagnosis, as neurosurgical treatment is often not feasible due to the lymphoma's location. A case is presented of a 55-year-old male patient who suddenly developed complete paralysis of the right third cranial nerve and peripheral vision disturbances. A diagnostic protocol was initiated, and due to brain MRI and clinical characteristics, the case was managed as a pituitary macroadenoma. The lesion was excised via an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach. Keywords: Lymphoma; central nervous system; sellar región; atypical; primary lymphoma.

Nelson Rodrigues, parada Praça Tiradentes
Authors: Van Erven Cabala Frederico
Published: February 2025

Propomo-nos, no presente artigo, apontar inusitadas similaridades entre a peça Viúva, porém honesta (1957), de autoria de Nelson Rodrigues, e algumas convenções estéticas do gênero teatro de revista, enfatizando que, entre esses dois pontos, há a mediação de aspectos relevantes do processo de modernização do teatro brasileiro. O percurso de análise busca retomar, em um primeiro movimento, a inserção de Nelson Rodrigues no teatro - fato que, segundo se encontra em relatos, teria sido motivado por ter ele presenciado o sucesso de um espetáculo teatral do gênero chanchada, que possuía semelhanças com a revista. Em seguida, são apresentadas avaliações críticas dessa peça feitas por Sábato Magaldi, que encara essa criação de Nelson Rodrigues como um ponto menor na dramaturgia do autor. Além disso, são arroladas algumas palavras de outros críticos teatrais as quais caracterizam a maneira como parte da classe intelectual considerava o gênero teatro de revista, em geral bastante mal-visto nos primeiros decênios do século XX. A partir de então, este estudo procura destacar elementos diversos da peça de Nelson Rodrigues que parecem ecoar, de alguma maneira, aspectos característicos das peças de revista, conforme prefiguram estudiosos do gênero, como Neyde Veneziano. Com auxílio desses estudos e de análises específicas que já vislumbraram positivamente Viúva, porém honesta, procura-se aqui entender o potente e singular espaço ocupado por essa obra no conjunto dramatúrgico de Nelson Rodrigues e também como um elemento sintonizado com seu tempo, antecipando, inclusive, tendências bem-sucedidas do teatro brasileiro do decênio de 1960.

Este artigo tem como foco analisar o processo de didatização do gênero discursivo notícia numa perspectiva dialógica de linguagem. Procuramos discutir como seria uma proposta de aula envolvendo o gênero discursivo notícia numa perspectiva dialógica de linguagem no ensino fundamental (anos finais). Para discorrer acerca do nosso problema no presente estudo, amparamo-nos em um quadro teórico que abrange pressupostos da Teoria Dialógica da Linguagem (Bakhtin, 1992, 2011), numa interface com a vertente didática do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (Schneuwly; Dolz, 1999, 2004). O gênero notícia se revela como uma oportunidade para promover o diálogo entre os estudantes, permitindo que eles compreendam não apenas a estrutura e os elementos desse gênero, mas também sua função social e comunicativa. A sala de aula se torna um espaço propício para a reflexão sobre a construção discursiva das notícias, bem como para o desenvolvimento das habilidades de leitura crítica e produção textual. Como resultado dessa análise criteriosa da proposta pedagógica no âmbito educacional, sabemos que poderá desencadear resultados significativos e ficará uma reflexão positiva que provavelmente possibilitará em uma melhor qualidade do ensino.

A inserção das práticas contemporâneas de linguagem na BNCC (Brasil, 2018) amplia as possibilidades teórico-metodológicas no tratamento dos objetos de conhecimento do componente de Língua Portuguesa, para os Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental. Em consequência, as redes de ensino (re)adequaram seus currículos à luz dessa atualização normativa. A Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo homologou o Currículo Paulista (São Paulo, 2019) e, a partir do ano seguinte, lançou os mediadores curriculares Currículo em ação para efetivar essa implementação curricular, atualizada via BNCC (Brasil, 2018). Em vista disso, este artigo objetiva apresentar e discutir como os cadernos do Currículo em ação para o 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental (São Paulo, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d) trataram quantitativamente a apropriação teórica dos multiletramentos (Rojo; Moura, 2012; Rojo; Barbosa, 2015; Cazden et al., 2021; Grupo Nova Londres, 2021). Espera-se, por fim, contribuir com as discussões sobre como tem ocorrido a didatização dos multiletramentos no âmbito da educação básica pública.
Digital colonialism in language education: from the global North’s celebratory discourse to capitalist colonization of the global South .
Authors: Mizan Souzana Mizan , Ferraz Daniel
Published: February 2025

Western epistemological approaches in language education have traditionally constructed a celebratory discourse on technological development by promoting “hyperbolic narratives of the big data revolution” (Milan; Treré, 2019, p. 320). This dominant epistemological approach is contextual and it is designed to serve the interests of the industry, governments, and science of the geographical place in which it is framed - the Global North. In this paper, we call for an epistemological change in the positivist take on Big Data, and we challenge its seemingly universal and beneficial mindset. We seek to show that the theories on digital literacies - although considered to be critical of traditional literacies - have not touched upon the realities of digital capitalist colonization of the Global South. The article tackles digital colonization by presenting and analyzing the coloniality of knowledge, power and being in the Global South. The coloniality of knowledge manifests itself through the colonization of education and common sense in the Global South. The coloniality of power emerges in the form of digital capitalism, platform capitalism and surveillance capitalism. And finally, the coloniality of being takes the shape of digital influencers who market themselves. We seek to contest and de-Westernize the discourses on digital literacies in language education classrooms by revealing the power’s opacity they create.

Diante do desenvolvimento das ferramentas da Inteligência Artificial e do aperfeiçoamento dos textos produzidos pelo ChatGPT, diversas inquietações ocupam o espaço da sala de aula e preocupam o professor de Língua Portuguesa. Neste artigo, nosso objetivo não se restringe apenas a tratar dessas inquietações, mas também, de alguma forma, apresentar contribuições do ChatGPT para o ensino de Produção Textual. A Inteligência Artificial e o professor não precisam assumir papéis antagônicos na escola; pelo contrário, essa aliança pode trazer uma evolução expressiva para a escrita dos estudantes e avanços metodológicos no ensino de produção de textos. Nesse sentido, tentamos evidenciar que as ferramentas disponibilizadas pela IA são para uso de todos e estão acessíveis a qualquer público interessado nas suas vantagens tecnológicas. Além disso, trazemos alguns esclarecimentos sobre o que é a Inteligência Artificial e, no que diz respeito às possíveis contribuições da IA para o ensino de Produção Textual, abordamos alguns recursos da versão gratuita do ChatGPT, a Tutoria Virtual e o Ensino Personalizado, na tentativa de mostrar uma maior democratização e acessibilidade às ferramentas disponibilizadas pela Inteligência Artificial. Para esse estudo, tomamos como base os pressupostos teóricos de Lamb, Levy & Quigley (2023), Baptista (2024), Kauffman (2019), Svetlana et al. (2022), Cruz (2023), Marzuki (2023) e outros.
Ficção de Clarice Lispector no ensino médio: uma proposta para a sala de aula com base no conto “A bela e a fera”
Authors: Mourão Duarte Bruna
Published: February 2025

Este artigo científico aborda a importância da leitura na vida dos jovens brasileiros, especialmente no Ensino Médio. Embora a leitura seja fundamental, muitas vezes é limitada a fins informativos ou instrucionais, em vez de ser apreciada por si mesma. Desse modo, o artigo entende a leitura como um processo crítico que envolve a interação do leitor com a obra, combinando aspectos intelectuais, sensoriais e emocionais. Além disso, o presente estudo destaca a importância do letramento literário, com foco na obra de Clarice Lispector. Um conto específico, "A Bela e a Fera ou A Ferida Grande Demais”, é selecionado para ilustrar como a leitura de obras de ficção pode abordar temas importantes, como invisibilidade, desigualdade e autoestima, tornando a leitura mais acessível e envolvente para os alunos do Ensino Médio. Os objetivos específicos do trabalho incluem o reconhecimento dos contextos sociais abordados nas obras literárias, a interpretação dos significados dos textos de ficção de Clarice Lispector e a promoção de uma nova perspectiva sobre a leitura em turmas de Ensino Médio. Portanto, o artigo visa promover a leitura crítica e a análise de contos, estimulando o interesse dos alunos e proporcionando uma compreensão mais profunda das obras de Clarice Lispector e do gênero conto, com foco na ficção.
Exploring global literacies: playful provocations for connecting, resisting, and inspiring social action
Authors: Windle Joel Austin
Published: February 2025

This multivoiced paper explores the diversity of forms and uses of literacies across cultures, languages and technologies. Rather than offering a unified theoretical proposal, it provides practical illustrations of the potential of global literacies as action through a range of genres produced by literacy educators located in different parts of the world. We hope that teachers and teacher educators in different places and institutions might find these short pieces generative in fostering critical conversations about language and power with their colleagues and students. We situate the concept of global literacies as integral to young people’s engagement as emerging citizens and as necessarily connected to local literacies.

Published: February 2025

The article presents the results of a study on the effect of dry bark
extract of birch bark (betulin) on the quality and safety of fish preserves in oil during
storage. It has been established that betulin in preserves exhibits antioxidant and
antimicrobial effects. Its introduction into the composition of combined fish preserves in an amount of 0.15% by net weight made it possible to reduce the intensity
of hydrolysis and oxidation of lipids during the storage of products, as well as to
stabilize the development of microorganisms in them and increase the shelf life to
six months.

O direito à moradia, de regra relegado a segundo plano em razão da defesa do direito à propriedade privada, ganhou relevância com a pandemia do Covid-19 e os seus impactos junto à população, sobretudo aquela mais vulnerável. Essa relevância, decorrente em grande parte dos esforços da Campanha Despejo Zero, leva a refletir acerca dos modos como as lutas dos movimentos sociais representam condição para que haja o reconhecimento de determinados sujeitos de direitos, especialmente face ao direito à moradia. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetiva analisar como a atuação dos movimentos sociais, através da Campanha Despejo Zero, repercute nos autos da ADPF n° 828, materializando o sujeito de direito em relação ao direito à moradia para contornar o protecionismo à propriedade privada. Para alcançar o fim pretendido, utilizou-se de uma análise documental - dos autos da ADPF n° 828 no julgamento no Supremo Tribunal Federal, bem como dos materiais produzidos e disponibilizados no site da Campanha Despejo Zero.

Improved session recommendation using contrastive learning based tail adjusted repeat aware graph neural network
Authors: Li Daifeng , Tian Tianjunzi , Huang Zhaohui , Lin Xiaowen , Chen Dingquan , Madden Andrew
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Session-based recommendation using graph neural networks (GNN) is a
popular approach to model users? behaviors and attributes of items from the
perspective of user-item interaction sequence. However, current researches
seldom incorporate the unique attributes of items to delve into a
comprehensive analysis of user behaviors. In addition, GNN faces three
problems when encounting complex modeling scenarios: long-range
dependencies, order information loss, and data sparsity, which are essential
to modeling long-tail items. Methods: We study the interactions between
users and items from a new perspective. A novel Contrastive Learning based
Tail Adjusted Repeat Aware Graph Neural Network (CLTAR-GNN) is proposed to
tackle the problems. A Tail Adjusted Repeat (TAR) mechanism captures users?
repeat-explore behaviors in both short-head and long-tail session items
based on graph neural networks. Through the TAR, we are able to further
understand the underlying graph-based mechanisms that influence user-item
interactions. A Self-Attention (SA) network with position embedding is
incorporated to overcome the sequence information loss issues, which may be
caused by the complex user behaviors and item characteristics modeling.
Finally, a mutli-task learning framework is employed to combine TAR, SA and
a contrastive learning model into a unified framework to enhance model
performance by collaboratively training graph and sequence-based embeddings.
Results: Experimental results show that CLTAR-GNN outperforms the
state-of-the-art session-based recommendation methods significantly. The
average improvement compared with all baselines are 17.5% (HR@20) and 22.5%
(MRR@20) on both experimental datasets.
