Acquisition of vehicles through consortium: An approach to its advantages and disadvantages
Authors: dos Santos Thainá Carvalho , da Silva Benedito Albuquerque
Published: August 2024

The study presents an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages related to the acquisition of goods through consortium in comparison with other financing modalities available in the Brazilian market. The study was carried out based on research and data collected from financial institutions, consortium administrators, companies in the automotive sector and consumers who have considered the consortium's option for the acquisition of a vehicle, concentrating the analysis on automotive vehicles, such as passenger cars. In this way, a view of the relevant aspects that are considered for consumer decision-making in this specific context was presented, seeking to contribute to the choice of the most appropriate vehicle acquisition modality for their needs and financial objectives, focusing on the consortium and its advantages. By considering the advantages and disadvantages of each option, consumers can make a more conscious choice, maximizing their investment and satisfaction. In the end, it was possible to conclude that although the cash purchase has a lower cost at the end of the plan, most consumers cannot have the value immediately for the purchase of the good since it can compromise the monthly family income, CDC financing and leasing are the options with the highest cost, making the consortium the most considerable option in the decision making for the acquisition of the good.

Published: August 2024

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, considering that this comorbidity represents a public health problem, it is of paramount importance to understand the associated clinical, epidemiological, and economic factors due to its high prevalence in Brazil. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the epidemiological aspects, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment related to tuberculosis in Brazil. The bibliographic research was developed from the analysis of scientific articles, obtained from the VHL, National Library of Medicine and SCIELO databases. Tuberculosis is an infectious, chronic, granulomatous and necrotizing disease caused by the acid-fast bacillus. The most common form of presentation is pulmonary, and susceptibility to the disease is influenced by multiple factors: age, nutritional status, infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, habits and lifestyle, poor income and education, inadequate housing, population density, and fragility of systems. The best form of control is through early diagnosis. This diagnosis can be made through clinical, bacteriological, radiological and histopathological data. Sputum smear microscopy is performed using 2 to 3 samples collected in the morning in order to detect sputum smear microscopy patients. Culture in solid and/or liquid medium is used to evaluate the presence of mycobacteria and enable their identification. The standard therapy of the disease consists of the use of Rifampicin, Isoniazid Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol (RIPE) for 2 months and (IR) for 4 months. The effective implementation of prophylactic measures is essential to reduce the burden of tuberculosis in Brazil. This context highlights the need to strengthen tuberculosis control actions in all spheres of the health system, with a focus on early diagnosis, treatment adherence, and prophylaxis measures.

Digital learning ecology for global citizenship education
Authors: León Ana Vanessa Leguízamo
Published: August 2024

In the context of globalization and the interest of many higher education institutions in carrying out internationalization activities, this work presents the development and results of an educational experience for global citizenship in which the concept of digital ecology of learning was used for its description. The case study focuses on a postgraduate course in education from a university in Brazil, taught through face-to-face and virtual sessions. The distance sessions were developed using synchronous videoconferences with guest professors from nine Ibero-American countries. The objective of these sessions was to learn about the progress of educational technologies in each of their countries, based on the concepts of global citizenship during the development of the classes. The experience made it clear that, although the contents and the learning environment were the same, each student developed their own themes supported by the proposed digital learning ecology, according to their particular interests and context.

Authors: Santana Caroline Alvarenga de Assis
Published: August 2024

Bruxism is characterized by teeth grinding, divided into sleep bruxism and daytime bruxism, and can be classified into primary and secondary. The main causative factors are poor sleep quality, stress, anxiety, alcohol consumption and smoking. The objective of this study was to investigate, through a literature review, the quality of sleep of university students with bruxism. An integrative literature review type research was carried out, carried out in the following databases: VHL, Google Scholar, SciELO and PuBMeD with the descriptors: Students, Sleep Quality, Poor Sleep Quality, University Students, Academics, Bruxism. Searches in electronic databases returned a total of 170 articles, 68 in the VHL, 47 in SciELO and 55 in PuBMeD. A total of 5 studies met the eligibility criteria. According to selected studies, there is a prevalence of sleep bruxism in adults with obstructive sleep apnea, however, the prevalence differs between age group, sex and race, sleep bruxism causes individuals to present insomnia, depression, behavioral disorders, REM sleep and sleep-related epilepsy. A correlation was found between bruxism during sleep and wakefulness, due to the reuptake of serotonin, a hormone that regulates stress. There is a significant association between psychological factors and awake bruxism. The research's main obstacles were the scarce source of materials on the topic of the correlation between sleep quality and bruxism, making it essential to develop new studies on larger population scales.

Therefore, prescribed burning can alter the chemical characteristics of the soil without depending on the depth and seasonal period that was analyzed, in which it proves that fire is capable of altering them.
A systematic literature review on constructivist teacher education
Authors: Cavalcante Elizabeth de Araújo
Published: August 2024

This article conducts a systematic review of the literature on teacher education under the constructivist paradigm, addressing the contributions and challenges associated with the implementation of these practices in Brazil. Grounded in the theories of Jean Piaget and expanded upon by scholars such as Lev Vygotsky, constructivism is a pedagogical approach that emphasizes the active construction of knowledge by students, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. In view of the context, the following question arises: How has constructivism been integrated and applied in teacher training in Brazil? To answer this question, the objective of this study is to carry out a systematic review of the literature on teacher education within the constructivist paradigm, analyzing empirical and theoretical research published between 2004 and 2014. The methodology consists of a qualitative research that defines inclusion and exclusion criteria, selection of data sources in the CAPES and SciELO journals databases and procedures for the analysis of studies based on content analysis. It is concluded that the training of constructivist teachers goes beyond the simple transmission of theoretical knowledge, requiring the training of educators to transform their pedagogical practices in order to promote deeper and more meaningful learning for students. The adoption of constructivist practices in teacher education, when well implemented, can generate a lasting impact on both pedagogical practices and student learning outcomes.

Authors: Fernandes Ana Catarina Matto , Maia Camilla Castilho , de Almeida Sobrinho Edmundo Frota
Published: August 2024

Cataract is a disease that causes congenital or acquired opacity of the lens, which can cause partial or total loss of vision. Approximately 85% of cataracts are classified as senile, being considered the main causes of reduced vision in the world. The surgery for its correction consists of removing the opaque lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens (IOL). The most feared complication is postoperative endophthalmitis, which is an infectious condition caused by microorganisms introduced inside the eye during or after the surgical procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a descriptive study of the Integrative Literature Review (RIL) type on the prevention and control of endophthalmitis after cataract surgeries. RESULTS: In this integrative literature review, 11 (eleven) articles that met the previously established inclusion criteria were analyzed. Most studies address the efficacy and recommendation of intracameral antibiotic use as the main prevention strategy for endophthalmitis in the postoperative period of cataracts.

The chapter "Obesity: Interdisciplinary Solutions to a Multidimensional Health Problem" addresses obesity as a global public health condition that requires an interdisciplinary approach to be effectively fought. Recognized as an epidemic affecting both developed and developing countries, obesity is associated with several comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. It is emphasized that obesity is the result of interrelated factors, encompassing genetic, environmental, behavioral, and social aspects. The modern environment, characterized by the easy availability of high-calorie foods and sedentary lifestyles, is a major factor contributing to rising obesity rates. In addition, genetic predisposition plays a significant role, interacting with the environment and individual behaviors, to influence obesity risk. The chapter highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together professionals from different areas such as medicine, nutrition, psychology, and physical education. This collaboration is critical to developing comprehensive and personalized treatment plans. Medical and pharmacological interventions, as well as behavioral therapies, are discussed as essential components of effective strategies to treat obesity. Education is presented as a crucial tool in the prevention of obesity. School and community nutrition education programs play an important role in promoting healthy eating habits and reducing the risk of obesity. In addition, public policies that encourage healthy environments and the practice of physical activity are essential to prevent and control obesity. The chapter concludes that the integration of diverse disciplines is vital to address this challenge effectively, promoting the health and well-being of the population and reducing the global impact of obesity.

Published: August 2024

The disclosure of information and the enforcement of ESG policies have become a trend in responsible investment not only for non-financial companies but also for financial institutions - commercial banks. However, in emerging countries like Vietnam, the level of ESG information disclosure is still in its infancy. Therefore, this research aims to identify the influence of factors on the level of ESG information disclosure of Vietnamese commercial banks. The article uses the GMM regression model to assess the impact of factors on the level of ESG information disclosure of 21 Vietnamese commercial banks in the period from 2018 to 2022. In which, the dependent variable is the level of information disclosure of Vietnamese commercial banks measured according to the International Fair Finance Guidelines Method. The results show that the disclosure level of Vietnamese commercial banks is greatly influenced by factors related to the characteristics of the banks. Among these, bank size, financial efficiency, and the level of competition among banks are factors driving banks to disclose ESG information. Conversely, banks with higher leverage tend to restrict ESG information disclosure. Additionally, among environmental factors such as corruption control, legal compliance, economic and social development, only corruption control and legal compliance have an impact on the level of ESG information disclosure by banks.

Indonesia's Foreign Policy: Grasping the Public's Perspective on the War in Ukraine
Authors: Pamungkas Raka
Published: August 2024

This research emphasizes the importance of public opinion for Indonesia’s foreign policy in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war. As a middle-power democracy, Indonesia should recognize public opinion as a crucial component in formulating its foreign policy toward the war. On this note, Indonesian public opinion remains influenced by anti-Western sentiments, leading to empathy towards Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s voting position at the 11th Emergency Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) related to the Russia-Ukraine war did not align with this public opinion. The Government of Indonesia based its stance on full respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and concerns about the humanitarian consequences on civilians. Nevertheless, Indonesia refrained from supporting economic sanctions against Russia and continued to invite President Vladimir Putin to the G20 Summit in 2022. In this regard, Indonesia employs a “pragmatic equidistant” foreign policy towards Russia and Ukraine, aiming to maximize partnerships based on national interests without being drawn into any sphere of influence. While public opinion should not be the sole determinant in Indonesia’s foreign policymaking, it remains significant to ensure the legitimacy of the democratic process. Therefore, after looking at the benefits and challenges of three policy choices, this policy paper strongly recommends establishing a partnership with reputable Public Opinion research institutions in Indonesia. This is the most feasible and practical option for the MoFA’s medium- and long-term strategies to assert Indonesia’s stance as a middle-power democracy.

Authors: Aaisyah Sitti , Oktoriani Duala
Published: August 2024

In the era of advanced technology where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing so rapidly and has become an integral part of human life, its existence has many influences on how humans live their lives. The speed and convenience offered by AI comes with negative impacts such as degradation of humans' main potential (creation, taste and intention). This is possible when AI is not controlled scientifically and ethically. When civilization from the industrial era 4.0 moves towards the era of society 5.0, AI technology becomes a necessity. Changes in this era also have implications for humans in interpreting art and the creative process. It is very important to step back and review the ethical aspects of technology so that AI, which is ideally intended to help humans do better work, can be implemented wisely.
Keterlibatan Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) dalam Transformasi Konflik Aceh
Authors: Imran A. M. Ali , Wicaksono Arief
Published: August 2024

In a conflict, the presence of a third party is required to act as a mediator if a conflict cannot be resolved by the two (or more) parties involved in the conflict. The presence of a third party as a mediator and facilitator is sometimes accompanied by implicit elements of interest behind their involvement. This research is descriptive-qualitative, based on previous research, books, and journals similar to the primary data sources. The author will sort, elaborate, analyze and conclude the facts related to CMI's interests in its involvement in the RI-GAM conflict. In this research, it is proven that CMI is a third-party actor whose involvement as a mediator has more or less had a positive political and economic impact on relations between Indonesia as one of the conflict actors and Finland, which incidentally is the country of origin of CMI. As explained in this research, CMI's involvement led to the birth of collaborations between Indonesia and Finland. This political interest also does not escape the essential roles of the international community, which is a supporting element with CMI in resolving the Aceh conflict.

Authors: Amri Muh. Fiqry Ahsabannur , Bt. Mamma Beche
Published: August 2024

This research aims to determine UEFA's efforts to overcome cases of racism that occurred in Italian football in the 2017-2022 period. This research uses the concept of International Cooperation put forward by Robert Axelhord and Robert Keohane in answering the problem formulation. The research results show that the phenomenon of racism in Italy has been rooted for a long time because there is still an ideology attached to some Italian people. These acts of racism were carried out by unscrupulous supporters against black players. One of them is FARE since the early 2000’s, which has become UEFA's closest partner in fighting racism by issuing several regulations and of course anti-racism activities. In the 2017-2019 period, there were various incidents of racism in the Italian League, peaking in 2019 with several series of cases. In 2020, racist incidents in stadiums decreased drastically due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Incidents of racism continue to occur even though strict sanctions have been given and all campaigns have been carried out but they have not had a deterrent effect and a significant reduction in incidents of racism in the Italian league.

Published: August 2024

Objective. This study aimed to determine which pedagogic method, online workshops or live medical education, was the better way to teach about self-medication for middle school students.
Methods. The following groups were formed: group O (students receiving online education), group L (students participating in live medical education animated by a medical practitioner and a science teacher) and group C (students without any medical learning). To compare them, the students answered three multiple choice questions before and after the educational intervention. The students in group L were evaluated immediately after the live medical training and group O immediately after the online workshops (t1). Group C was only evaluated at t0.
Results. Group C N=195), group L (N=219) and group O (N=200, but 101 students who participated in the online workshops students dropped out before the end) were equivalent in terms of gender, but their ages and school grades were statistically different (P<0.001). A post-hoc test revealed that students in group O were older and in a higher grade than those in the other two groups (P<0.001) but the mean ages and school grades were equivalent in group L and group C. At t0, the results obtained were equivalent in the 3 groups. At t1, school students obtained better results in both groups (P<0.001) but these same results were significantly better in group L than those obtained in group O (P<0.001). Age, gender, school grade and school level had no effect on the students’ results.
Conclusion: The study’s findings suggest that live medical education is a superior approach for imparting self-medication knowledge to middle school students.

Tanah Lempung adalah jenis tanah yang mempunyai sifat kohesif dan plastis yang tinggi, tanah lempung terjadi akibat pelapukan-pelapukan batuan akibat adanya reaksi kimia yang terdiri dari susunan partikel-partikel yang berukuran koloid artinya butiran penyusun tanah lempung ini berukuran <0,002. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui karakteristik tanah serta mengetahui pengaruh campuran semen dan serbuk batu bata sebagai bahan stabilisasi dengan metode kuat tekan bebas. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode uji laboratorium berupa pengujian sifat – sifat fisis dan mekanis tanah. Penujian dilakukan pada tanah asli dan tanah yang distabilisasi dengan semen dan serbuk batu bata. Hasil penelitian uji sifat fisis tanah asli dilaboratorium didapatkan nilai berat isi tanah (γb) 1,669 gr/cm³, (γd) 1,09 gr/cm³, kadar air 52,92% dan berat jenis 2,651. Berdasarkan hasil penyelidikan tanah dapat dikategorikan dalam tanah lempung organik. Hasil dari pengujian grain size tanah dapat di kategorikan dalam tanah lanau lempung. Pada uji atterberg limit tanah dapat dikategorikan ke dalam tanah lempung plastisitas tinggi dengan PI 26,54%, pengujian proctor dengan hasil berat isi kering maksimal (γd) 1,302 gr/cm³ dan kadar air optimum (w) 36,2%. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian kuat tekan bebas (Uncofined Compression Test) dengan bahan stabilisasi serbuk batu bata 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% dan 5% semen untuk masing-masing sampel, dengan nilai kuat tekan bebas (qu) yaitu 0,785 kg/cm², 0,872 kg/cm², 1,008 kg/cm², 1,120 kg/cm², dan nilai kohesi undrained (cu) sebesar 0,205 kg/cm², 0,390 kg/cm²,0,435 kg/cm², 0,505 kg/cm², 0,560 kg/cm². Berdasarkan rekap uji kuat tekan bebas  (qu) dan didapatkan persamaan  y = 0,2127ln(x) + 0,2153 R² = 0,9855.

Pesticides are powerful agents that kill non- target animals and unwanted insects in a particular area. Chlorpyrifos bioaccumulate leading to increased contamination in soil and water. This study was focused with much attention to curb the menace of the pollution. Biodegradation is the process by which microorganism such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa advocate for biodegradation which is consider to be a clean-up technology. In our study 30% of degradation was recorded. The fish Cyprinus carpio was used as an indicator animal and its gill, muscle, liver tissue was analyzed for pesticide residue accumulation where in the biochemical changes such as protein were depleted due to pesticide toxicity. Subsequently an increase protein content was noted in the biodegradation experimental sets. Other pesticides carbaryl the active ingredient of sevin which cause drastic effect on non-target animals was degraded by the enzymatic machinery of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The Kalvarayan / Kalrayan hills, Eastern Ghats mountains of Tamil Nadu, India, is known for its involvement in organic farming. Many farmers are following Indigenous traditional knowledge to manage insects and diseases of various crops. An array of Indigenous traditional knowledge is still existing among the farmers of the hills. Utilization of these indigenous knowledge can serve as an important component in development of IPM strategies against insect pests. To tap and validate the Indigenous traditional knowledge, a survey was initiated and as a result it was known that fifteen plant species took place as a component in indigenous traditional preparations used in insect pest management. Thus, all the fifteen plants were validated in the laboratory at controlled conditions by using larvae of Spodoptera litura (third instar) as test insect. The bio-assays of antifeedant study at 1%, 3%, and 5% concentrations revealed that Crotalaria paniculata has been identified as the most promising plant, displaying the higher antifeeding effect at all concentrations. The study revealed a positive correlation between extract concentration and antifeeding activity. Holoptelea integrifolia was also shown significant inhibition. Moderate effects were observed for Catharanthus pusillus, Mucuna pruriens and Ipomea pandurata. Conversely, several other plants, including Euphorbia hirta, Polyalthia longifolia, Ocimum basilicum, Mallotus philippensis and Butea monosperma showed minimal impact.

This research is motivated by the fact that the Indigenous Malay people living in Bantan District can be considered isolated, remote, and inland, with limited access to educational facilities provided by the government. The Indigenous Malay people have become complacent with their current conditions and situation. The aim of this research is to determine the level of educational awareness among the Indigenous Malay people in Bantan District, Bengkalis Regency, and the factors contributing to their educational backwardness. Additionally, the research seeks to identify an appropriate educational concept to change the Indigenous Malay people's paradigm regarding the importance of education for their well-being. The method used in this research is qualitative research. The data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that educational participation among the indigenous community in Bantan District for primary education is relatively significant, reaching 80 percent of the total school-age children. For junior high school education, participation is also quite high at 65 percent. However, the participation rate for high school education is relatively low, at only 45 percent. Although primary education participation is generally good, there is still a significant dropout rate, with children often leaving school when they reach the third or fourth grade. Factors contributing to the educational backwardness of the Indigenous Malay people in Bantan District include peer influence from those not attending school, weak economy, low motivation, lack of parental encouragement, low self-confidence, and insufficient educational infrastructure. The educational concept proposed for the Indigenous Malay community in Bantan District is the Indigenous Education Concept.

Every religion needs students who are loyal, caring, and have a soul to spread the teachings of their religion, and have good competence to carry out their duties. Efforts to spread religion are known as da'wah. Each religion has its own understanding of dharmaduta. In Buddhism, the propagator of the religion is called Dharmaduta. Compared to other followers of religion, Buddhists are known to be less aggressive in spreading their religious teachings. The method used by the authors in this research is the literature review research method, which means the researcher examines from various books as a research source. The method used is the interpretation of texts in the Tripitaka holy book and various studies. To carry out the duties of Dharmaduta, appropriate competencies are needed so that the teachings can be conveyed properly and can be well understood by the recipients of the teachings. The efforts of the Buddhist dharmaduta will benefit both the teacher and the recipient of the teachings. Dharmaduta is obliged to change the new paradigm in the spread of Buddhism, which was originally oriented towards suffering to become an approach to happiness. This conclusion is in line with the nature of Buddha's existence in this universe which teaches all human beings how to eliminate suffering to achieve happiness.
