Authors: Valadares Leticia Teixeira de Siqueira , Ribeiro Raíssa Tiradentes , Ribeiro Isabela Cristina , Espeschit Isis de Freitas
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Studies on the mental health of transgender children and adolescents express high rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. It is important to highlight that this is probably due to the minority stress with which these individuals deal since the infrastructures and social policies are designed to treat and welcome cisgenders, based on a normative character. This configuration is associated with a long and past history, of continuous prejudice, stigmatization, and discrimination, conflicts between appearance and gender identity, and rejection in social and family environments. All of these factors contribute decisively to the serious psychiatric morbidity perceived in this population. Objective: The present article aims to identify the relevant aspects of the mental health of transgender children and adolescents and explore other factors associated with the reduction of psychopathological disorders in this population. Methods: A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted in the PubMed and Virtual Health Library indexed databases, using the descriptors "mental health", "transgender persons" and "children" with the Boolean operator AND. Studies discussing the subject, published between 2010 and 2020 in all available languages, were included, and those that did not meet the criteria were excluded. The survey and screening were carried out in parallel by three researchers, disclosing in the selection of 56 articles. Results: The studies indicated a higher frequency of psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, ideation and suicide, self-harm, low self-esteem, substance abuse, and other risk behaviors in the studied population when compared to the rest of the population. The studies also presented other aspects related to the mental health, such as the importance of family support, social transition, and institutional, medical, and psychological support. Conclusion: The evidence presents the challenges faced by this population in their needs and assured rights, culminating in the developing or worsening of psychological disorders.

Introdução: Salmonella não tifoide é uma das principais causas de diarreia no mundo, sendo sua transmissão associada a alimentos. No entanto, infecções osteoarticulares, como artrite séptica, são excepcionalmente raras e geralmente ocorrem em contexto de imunossupressão. Há ainda poucos relatos de artrite séptica em pacientes infectados por SARS-CoV-2. Relato de caso: Masculino, 80 anos, durante internação por COVID-19 evoluiu com dor e derrame articular no joelho direito. Apresentação clínica, exame de imagem e culturas confirmaram diagnóstico de artrite séptica por Salmonella spp. Realizado tratamento guiado e abordagem cirúrgica com melhora clínica, possibilitando alta hospitalar.   Discussão: Relatos de infecção articular por Salmonella não tifoide são poucos em pacientes não imunodeprimidos, especialmente após COVID-19. Quando o paciente apresenta sinais sugestivos, o médico deve suspeitar do diagnóstico. Conclusão: A artrite séptica por Salmonella não tifoide pode ocorrer em pacientes com COVID-19 e, quando tratada adequadamente, pode apresentar desfecho adequado.

Published: January 2024

Introdução: As intoxicações por medicamentos representam um grande problema de saúde pública no Brasil, o qual foi agravado por conta da pandemia, que influenciou no aumento da automedicação em virtude da superlotação de hospitais e fluxo de informações sobre uso de medicamentos “off-label” sem comprovação científica. Objetivo: realizar o levantamento dos casos de intoxicações por medicamentos no Brasil, nos anos de 2017 a 2022, no período que antecede a pandemia e durante o aumento de casos de COVID- 19. Metodologia: Foi realizado uma análise descritiva, de serie temporal, baseado nos dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos Notificação (SINAN), disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), no qual foram analisados dados sobre intoxicação exógena que ocorreram entre 2017 e 2022, avaliando as circunstâncias, sexo, faixa etária, evolução e tipos de exposição. Resultados e discussão: Em 2022, houve o maior número de casos de intoxicação por medicamentos (103.648). Pessoas do sexo feminino representaram cerca de 73,44% dos casos de intoxicação por medicamentos e as intoxicações por medicamentos em circunstância das tentativas de suicídio representaram 70,3% desses mesmos casos. O predomínio da tentativa de suicídio pode estar relacionado a diferentes fatores, tais como desemprego, perda de renda e produtividade, em que os trabalhadores foram submetidos a interrupção das atividades laborais sem planejamento prévio ou reservas econômicas durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Conclusão: A pandemia da COVID-19 contribuiu para o aumento dos casos de intoxicação medicamentosa principalmente no âmbito das tentativas de suicídio e da automedicação. Dessa forma, é imprescindível a atuação do farmacêutico e demais profissionais de saúde, e a criação de políticas públicas voltadas à educação em saúde, com o intuito de reduzir os efeitos adversos e os riscos de intoxicações.

Published: January 2024

The bio-convective heat transfer of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting Casson nanofluid past a wedge has been analyzed. Furthermore, using a similarity variable, the governing flow equations are transformed to non-linear coupled differential equations corresponding to a two-point boundary value problem, which is solved numerically. A comparison of the solution technique is carried out with previous work and the results are found to be in good agreement. Numerical results for the coefficient of skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, micro-organism flux as well as the velocity, temperature, nanoparticles and micro-organisms concentration profiles are presented for different physical parameters. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the field of flow is significantly influenced by these parameters.

Authors:   Korean Society for  Holistic Convergence Education, Kim HanNa , Kam Sungwon , Lee Changwon
Published: January 2024

Today, integrative thinking and problem-solving skills are paramount. Yet, current college admissions remain anchored to traditional pedagogy. As global emphasis on tertiary education intensifies, it's essential to recalibrate admissions to align with universities' goals and standards. This study examined the documentation review of comprehensive student record admissions at four-year universities in Seoul and its metropolitan area. Using data from the “A” Christian university a correlation between document evaluation scores and student grades was identified. Candidates from the “Coram Deo Talent Selection” consistently showed exemplary academic performance. Furthermore, the document scores and academic capability factors significantly influenced student outcomes. Universities, as advanced academia pillars, must integrate admissions with primary to secondary education, endorsing judicious benchmarks. The student admission should evaluate candidates' comprehensive competencies beyond mere numbers. This research offers insights for a refined collegiate admissions strategy, fostering growth for institutions and students.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to assess the level of educational equity mindset among Korean pre-service teachers, a fundamental pillar for promoting culturally responsive teaching and education for equity and justice. To achieve this goal, we conducted an online survey using the Teachers' Equity Mindset tool developed by the MIT Teaching Systems Lab. The data was collected from 223 pre-service teachers enrolled in an elementary school teacher training institute in Gyeonggi-do and a secondary school teacher training institute in Daejeon. We conducted an exploratory factor analysis to validate the factor structure and a reliability analysis. The exploratory factor analysis revealed five distinct factors, deviating from the original five-factor structure. According to the empirically derived factors, Korean pre-service teachers demonstrated a strong educational equity mindset, particularly in areas concerning “cultural understanding of students' backgrounds” and “racial identity.” However, lower scores were observed in sub-factors such as “critical consciousness of discrimination at school” and “awareness of cultural conflicts,” compared to other dimensions. Furthermore, we investigated variations in Korean pre-service teachers' equity mindset based on different backgrounds. Gender differences analysis revealed that female pre-service teachers demonstrated a stronger equity mindset compared to their male counterparts. Based on these research findings, we provide suggestions for theoretical developments and advancements in understanding the educational equity mindset within the Korean context. Additionally we offer practical recommendations to enhance teacher training programs in South Korea, focusing on developing pre-service teachers' competence in performing equity-minded educational practices for promoting equity and justice in education.

F.A. Hayek, Complexity Pioneer
Authors: Lovasz Adam
Published: January 2024

An early adopter of complexity theory in the social sciences, the Austrian school economist F. A. Hayek consciously strove to construct a grand synthesis, conceiving of society as an information system. I suggest that Hayek’s concept of complexity undergirds his promarket stances: it was his belief that because society is a complex information system, interventions which seek to transform the system as a whole inevitably run into insurmountable epistemological obstacles. Focusing mostly upon lesser-known texts dating from the 1950s and 1960s, I present a reading of Hayek concentrating on the role the concept of complexity plays in his work. Hayek viewed social complexity as inherently good and worthy of conservation from attempts to regulate society in various ways. Yet he also supported various forms of government interventionism. I argue that for Hayek complexity holds the key to determining which specific forms of intervention are permissible in Hayek’s vision of a classical liberal “Great Society.” On first impression, Hayek’s idea of complexity seems lopsided toward spontaneous order. However, he considered on multiple occasions the possibility of systemic chaos, unintended consequences of policy, and disequilibrium.

Authors: Gloriani Yusida , Setiyani Setiyani , Firmasari Siska , Erawati Turini
Published: January 2024

The objective of the study was to examine the reading literacy and numeracy skills of Grade VII Junior High School students. This study employs a quantitative descriptive approach. The participants of this study consisted of 35 pupils. Explore methodologies for gathering research data through the utilisation of tests. The research instrument employed was a standardised assessment sheet designed to measure proficiency in reading literacy and numeracy skills. Both the reading literacy exam and the numeracy ability test encompass three cognitive levels. The employed data analysis technique involves calculating the mean value, conducting a regression test, and determining the coefficient of determination. The study findings indicate that the mean reading proficiency surpasses numeracy, however both remain suboptimal. These figures are demonstrated by the mean score of 60.46 on the reading exam and 33.71 on the numeracy test. There is a favourable association between literacy and numeracy ability, which is somewhat interpreted. The proficiency in reading and writing has a significant impact on one's capacity to perform mathematical calculations, accounting for a substantial proportion of 16.8%. The remaining portion is influenced by several other elements. The findings of this study suggest that teachers should incorporate AKM questions into their teaching practices to help students develop a habit of reading and comprehending questions. It is anticipated that this approach will lead to a substantial improvement in students' literacy and numeracy scores.

Many students do not have sufficient knowledge and skills to write scientific papers. Not a few students still have shallow knowledge and skills in terms of writing scientific papers. This study examined students' perceptions of using the TPACK-based 5E-PBL learning cycle model to improve their ability to write scientific papers. The subjects of this study were 189 second-semester students who had taken Indonesian language courses at Asahan University from the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Teacher Training. The research method used was a descriptive research design with a quantitative approach. The research data was obtained by distributing surveys to all samples using the Google Forms platform, and interviews. Based on the results of the data analysis, there was a significant increase, around 51 students got very good scores, and 65 were in a good category. Thus, the effectiveness of the TPACK-based 5E-PBL learning cycle model in terms of educators (lecturers) shows a very high category (56%). While the average score showed the highest score 41% in the very high category viewed from the students’ sub-variable. In sum, students considered using the 5E-PBL learning cycle model based on TPACK for Indonesian language courses on scientific paper writing material positively impacted the learning process.

Elementary school teachers must design a learning process that integrates multicultural education so that teachers contribute positively to fostering students' nationalism and multicultural attitudes from an early age. The introduction of multiculturalism aims to shape the character of a country's children who can accept, understand, and respect all people of different races, personalities, social, ethnic, customs, and religions. Efforts to learn multicultural education in elementary schools must be carried out as a means of training and awareness for the younger generation so that they can accept and appreciate all multicultural differences. The research approach used is qualitative by conducting a literature review. The data analysis technique of this research is descriptive qualitative using the content analysis method. The results of this study are that multicultural education in elementary schools is systemic and holistic and needs to be developed based on national culture and character. The strategies teachers use in managing multicultural classrooms are an important part of realizing the lofty ideals of building the next generation who have the traits and characteristics of respecting, tolerating, and being fair to others regardless of their social background, ethnicity, religion, race, and class.

This research presents a Decision Support System (DSS) designed to facilitate personalized learning in higher education. Utilizing the Best Worst Method (BWM), a popular Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) technique, the study evaluated various learning strategies against set criteria based on the preferences and priorities of educators at University X. The results revealed One-on-One Tutoring as the most preferred method for personalized learning, followed by technology-enabled strategies such as Online Self-paced Courses and Adaptive Learning Software. These findings provide critical insights into the relative importance of different learning strategies, contributing to the development of a DSS capable of recommending the most suitable approaches for personalized learning. The implementation of such a system has been proposed as a means to augment decision-making processes within educational environments and potentially yield positive impacts on academic achievement. It is advisable to conduct additional research to authenticate these findings in various educational settings and investigate prospects for integrating empirical data into the process of decision-making.

This study has the potential to contribute significantly to understanding motivation in both institutions through a better understanding of self-motivated learning among students of the Islamic Counseling Guidance Study Program. Previous studies have explored the concept of self-motivated learning, but there are still research gaps that require further investigation by conducting comparative studies in two institutions. The purpose of this study is to answer how self-motivated learning is for students in the two institutions in the Islamic counseling guidance study program. Research methods use descriptive and qualitative methods. Analysis of data using Nvivo software The sample in this study was 22 people, including 2 lecturers and 20 other students from Uin Imam Bonjol and Uin Sultan Syarif Kasim. The research findings indicate that there is a shared comprehension among high-achieving students originating from renowned colleges in West Sumatra and Riau. The choice of counselling advice majors typically stems from parental influence, input from school teachers, or familial considerations. When it comes to developing self-motivation in learning, several factors should be taken into consideration. These include having well-defined objectives, being in a supportive atmosphere, following structured learning strategies, utilising effective learning techniques, ensuring adequate rest, fostering internal drive, maintaining a balance between different aspects of life, and seeking social support.

In the contemporary educational landscape, the integration of Decision Support Systems (DSS), particularly the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, offers a structured approach to evaluating teaching methods. This study focused on applying the SAW DSS in a Physics Tutoring Program. The results highlighted Interactive Simulations as the most effective teaching approach, emphasizing the role of technology in modern education. Hands-on Experiments and Group Discussions followed closely, underscoring the importance of experiential learning. Traditional Lectures, while foundational, benefit from enhanced interactivity. The SAW DSS's systematic approach ensures objective decision-making, though weight assignment can introduce subjectivity. A notable research gap emerged around the integration of SAW DSS with advanced educational technologies and its application across diverse cultural contexts. Future research avenues include refining the SAW method with real-time feedback and AI integration. In conclusion, as education evolves, tools like the SAW DSS provide invaluable insights, necessitating continuous adaptation to meet dynamic educational needs.
