Authors: André Ana Paula , Alves Pedro
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo, que parte de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com caráter crítico-analítico, apresenta como objetivo uma possibilidade de diálogo a respeito da avaliação em larga escala e sua ligação com o sistema liberal, além de seus propósitos e sua perspectiva gerencialista. Evidenciamos, aqui, a avaliação em seus diversos aspectos, tendo como lócus principal o âmbito estadual, com a realização da Prova Paraná, que desvela caminhos das políticas educacionais do Estado. Tal Prova tem se alinhado às perspectivas liberais que enfatizam os resultados em detrimento do processo de aprendizagem. A realização dessa avaliação ocorre desde 2019, trazendo drásticas consequências para as escolas, uma vez que atrela o currículo imposto às provas, repercutindo como uma forma de controle para a formação da classe trabalhadora estudantil jovem. À guisa de resultados, propomos, com esta pesquisa, um olhar crítico sobre esse método avaliativo estadual, com vistas à busca por uma educação de qualidade, pautada na ciência e no aprofundamento teórico-metodológico que fundamentam a criticidade. Isso levando em conta que a escola não pode ser compreendida como uma arena de mensuração de projetos estatísticos-mercadológicos. A qualidade do ensino deve estar desvinculada do olhar do setor empresarial para dentro da escola.

Published: October 2024

Stress is an element inherent in every disease, which produces certain changes in the structure and chemical composition  of the body, which can be observed and measured. Hans Selve was the first to seriously research stress in the 1930s. He  observed that different organisms showed the same physiological response pattern to sensory or psychological stimuli,  and that this would have harmful effects on almost all organs, tissues and metabolic processes. Through his research,  Hans Selve described the “General Adaptation Syndrome” (GAS) with its three phases: alarm, resistance and  exhaustion. There are two types of stress: chronic stress, which affects most people, is a constant part of everyday life, but in a milder form and can lead to the exhaustion phase, resulting in adverse health consequences, such as  cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases and even cancer. Acute stress, on the other hand, is more intense and short lived and is usually caused by traumatic but temporary situations. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the  physiological reactions to stress and how the body responds when exposed to these situations. This work is a literature  review, whose theoretical reference for the composition were studies between 1984 and 2022, available in the Scielo  and Lilacs databases. Seven studies were selected for the elaboration of the results, and all agreed that stress is associated  with the development of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, in which the rise in cortisol levels negatively affects the formation of new memories. Therefore, implementing effective stress management strategies is fundamental  to preserving immune health and promoting well-being.

With the arrival of Christianity, there was a transformation in patient care, enabling the creation of shelters and hospitals to offer assistance. This movement allowed the reception of people in vulnerable conditions, previously ignored by the health system at the time (RODRIGUES, 2018). By incorporating physiotherapy into a multidisciplinary or broad view of the association of life, quality of life and palliative care, it is possible to expand access to conservative, integrative and multidisciplinary therapeutic treatment options, less tense, aggressive, stressful and painful for those involved, accepting what the natural cycle of life really is like, where we are born, take care of each other and ourselves, and then die. This article carries out an integrative review on the role of physiotherapy in the context of palliative care with a focus on multidisciplinary and humanized assistance. Based on an analysis of studies published between 2004 and 2023, and data collection, carried out through research among patients and family members in the year 2024, the benefits of physiotherapy in relieving pain, improving quality of life and no emotional support for patients with chronic and terminal illnesses.

A alfabetização e letramento são processos que estão interligados, trazendo novos sentidos para o ensino-aprendizagem e a forma como eles estão sendo aplicados e desenvolvidos em sala de aula pelos educadores nas series iniciais é o objetivo desse trabalho. Muitos estudos e pesquisas desenvolvidas nessa temática visam à melhoria do processo ensino-aprendizagem. O educando precisa ser letrado, tendo em vista que o letramento é o pilar necessário para que o sujeito possa participar de uma sociedade letrada. Como fazer acontecer esses processos juntos? Será que é possível Alfabetizar letrando? Qual o método correto para se alfabetizar? Muitos são os questionamentos que permeiam no cenário educacional sobre a aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita. Nessa perspectiva, os gêneros textuais cumprem uma importante função social quando o assunto é comunicação. Para que as atividades de alfabetização aconteçam precisam ser conduzidas de forma simultânea e complementar ao letramento, isto é, alfabetizar letrando. Procurando compreender melhor as concepções e práticas ensinadas pelos professores acerca do letramento e alfabetização, utilizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica baseada em alguns autores: Magda Soares (2011), Emília Ferreiro (2001) entre outros. Para obtermos uma nova visão esclarecedora faremos o uso da leitura e pesquisa.

Published: October 2024

Gestational diabetes is a metabolic syndrome in which insulin-tolerant hormones are dysregulated during pregnancy. Pregnant women can develop type II diabetes mellitus (DM) 5 to 10 years after giving birth, which may or may not be treated. It is a metabolic disease characterized by high concentrations of glucose in the blood and is a major public health problem. The inability of tissues to absorb glucose for adequate use is known as insulin resistance, which is an extremely significant metabolic phenomenon in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus. It can be caused by a variety of factors. Hyperglycemia caused by this dysfunction can cause serious problems for the mother and baby, putting the pregnancy and the life of the couple at risk. Previously, adipose tissue was considered only an energy reservoir, but recently it was discovered that it can widely synthesize biologically active molecules known as adipokines. These molecules can participate in various metabolic and inflammatory reactions. The objective of this literature review is to present the most important adipokines that cause metabolic changes related to the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and insulin resistance.

Participation in Location-Based News-Apps: Deriving Motivational Factors from Volunteer Work
Authors: Uphaus P.O. , Rau H.
Published: October 2024

Traditional, predominantly print-based, media companies with a local or regional focus have been struggling for years with the consequences of increasing digitalization and the associated rise of social media offerings. For traditional media, this means fewer readers, less circulation, decreasing advertising revenue in the context of the advertising circulation spiral and further concentration processes in the industry. Current research clearly indicates that participatory forms of content creation can provide the urgently needed basis for necessary business model innovation in journalism due to their potential to further expand the limited scope of journalistic offerings provided by conventional media and thus contribute to the future viability of local media offerings. However, users themselves are usually not given the opportunity to become communicators in their local environment. A key question arising is what is necessary to successfully and sustainably implement participatory communication offerings in the media industry? This article aims to identify factors influencing the willingness to participate in (local) news applications. For this purpose, we interviewed people who have been awarded for their voluntary commitment in their local environment. The objective is to find out what motivates these people with high intrinsic motivation to participate. The results show that a network character, non-monetary reward systems and the possibility of recruiting further members (in this case users) can serve as motivating factors for active participation in (local) news applications. The article also highlights the interplay between volunteering and participatory journalism, which offers plenty of potential, especially on a digital level.

Published: October 2024

Background: Detecting and classifying fish diseases is crucial for maintaining the health and sustainability of aquaculture systems. This study employs deep learning techniques, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to automate the detection of various fish diseases using image data. Methods: The study utilizes a carefully curated dataset sourced from the Kaggle database, comprising images representing seven distinct types of fish diseases, along with images of healthy fish. Data preprocessing techniques, including resizing, rescaling, denoising, sharpening, and smoothing, are applied to enhance image quality and facilitate accurate disease detection. Data augmentation is employed to increase the model's ability to generalize to unseen data. The CNN architecture is designed with cascading convolutional layers, ReLU activation functions, and pooling operations to extract high-level features associated with fish infections. The model architecture, implemented using the Keras Sequential API, includes convolutional layers, max pooling layers, and densely connected layers for classification. Results: Experimental results demonstrated promising performance across various disease categories, with high accuracy and balanced precision and recall values for most classes. The study also discussed the impact of climate change on fish disease incidence and underscores the importance of effective monitoring and management practices facilitated by technological innovations such as Big Data, IoT, sensors, and robotics in ensuring sustainable fisheries management.

Authors: Lai Chu Annis  , Fung
Published: October 2024

Social movements may bring positive social changes. However, escalated levels of violence and delinquency in some campaigns caused public concerns about infringing personal rights and destroying public property. In modern societies, we encourage mutual respect, peace, and appropriate conflict resolutions and avoid the use of aggression across situations. This cross-sectional study examined forgiveness, moral disengagement, and reactive and proactive aggression among different types of young social activists in Hong Kong. Findings would provide insights into intervention strategies for reducing aggressive behaviors in young people and helping them restore their quality of life. Our participants were 1046 local secondary school and tertiary students (583 males and 463 females) aged 12 to 25 years (M = 16.95, SD = 3.29). They completed a questionnaire about their participation in local campaigns, with psychological measures of forgiveness, moral disengagement, and aggression. The respondents were then divided into three categories: non-activists (NA), moderate activists (MA), and activists with delinquent/violent action (ADA).

Primary healthcare plays a fundamental role in advancing public health, and the evaluation of its effectiveness is crucial part for ongoing enhancement and evolution. The escalating prevalence of non-communicable diseases is placing significant burden on the healthcare resources of both developed and developing countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the financial efficiency and quality of care provided through telemedicine in virtual clinics compared to traditional clinical visits for chronic patients attending Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. This research is using an analytical cross-sectional study design, and it included all adults registered in the HIS for 2023 with DM or HTN. The researcher compared in-person and virtual visit costs and some of the health outcomes. The study included 106,828 participants, with 392,441 visits to Primary Health Centers. The distribution was 52.12% male and 47.88% female, with 53.89% having DM and 46.11% HTN. Education level significantly influences visit preferences (p = 0.003), with higher educated participans evenly splitting between in-person and virtual visits, while those with no literacy favored in-person visits. Significant cost differences were observed between in-person and virtual visits (p < .001), with in-person visits incurring higher lab test counts and costs. In conclusion, our findings show that virtual visits and telehealth services have lower costs compared to the in-person consultations, with almost identical health outcomes for both groups. Which indicates that the virtual and in-person consultations have comparable quality.

Background: Visual arts education has been suggested to influence cognitive and behavioral outcomes, yet its specific effects on critical thinking and behavior regulation remain underexplored. The effect of visual arts education on these domains forms the topic of the present study, which employs a mixed approach research design. Aim: To assess the impact of visual arts education on the improvement of critical thinking and self-regulation in students. Methodology: A quasi-experimental approach was employed with 80 individuals, with 40 in the experimental group Report Phrase receiving education in visual arts and 40 in the control group receiving non-visual arts education. CTST and BRI assessment tools were used to acquire quantitative data about the participants, utilizing the independent and paired sample T-tests. Data collected from participants include interviews, focus group discussions, self-administered, and thematic analysis. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyse the data. Result: Statistical findings depicted improvements in the quantitative aspect; critical thinking skills improved from 70.0 to 75.3 with p<0.001 and behavior regulation improved from 65.0 to 69.2 with p<0.001 in the experimental-group in contrast to the control-group. The thematic analysis found striking increases in attention, impulse control, task completion, creativity, collaboration, affect expression, and self-esteem of experimental-group participants. Based on the findings of the Repeated Measures ANOVA, significant enhancements were observed in both domains for critical thinking and behavior regulation with effect size estimates of 0.40 and 0.30, respectively. Conclusion: The development of critical thinking and behavior control in students is greatly impacted by art instruction. Quantitative and qualitative data both support the utility of using visual arts interventions for cognitive and behavioral development and inform practice in art education.
