O Programa de Educação Pelo Trabalho para Saúde – PET/Saúde implanta uma linha tênue, em concordância com a interprofissionalidade, com pleno destaque para a estratégia de saúde da família, para que seus membros possuam uma ampla vivência acerca das atuações profissionais presentes no grupo. Possibilitando ainda uma oportunidade em aperfeiçoar o trabalho interprofissional no serviço e no aprendizado acadêmico, de acordo com as necessidades do SUS. O estudo é do tipo relato de experiência e visou retratar a plena vivência dos monitores bolsistas do PET-Saúde Interprofissional do Cesmac. Com relação à análise das literaturas, foi observado que as atividades extracurriculares têm ganhado bastante visibilidade entre os estudantes, porém, há uma escassez de estudos sobre tal tema no Brasil. Desde a primeira experiência vivida no PET, o mesmo se empenha em sempre mostrar um trabalho dinâmico e em equipe, instigando o senso crítico e de pesquisa dos monitores. Contudo, nota-se a importância de uma equipe interprofissional e o envolvimento na participação do Pet-Saúde que oportuniza o acadêmico a aprender com o trabalho e vivenciar a realidade nata do sistema de saúde. Os monitores referem breves relatos ao longo de todo o artigo, evidenciando suas principais vivências e pontos de vista, em que, durante o período da vivência, percebeu-se um empenho do trabalho em equipe, instigando o senso crítico e de pesquisa dos monitores. Além de vivências práticas realizadas em uma sequência de planejamento, execução e avaliação de todas as ações propostas, com foco para a satisfação da comunidade.

Published: April 2023

No futebol, a preparação física e fortalecimento muscular são de suma importância para maximizar o desempenho dos atletas, porém os preparadores físicos ao sistematizar e planejar o treinamento, acabam superestimando os músculos anteriores da coxa e subestimando os músculos posteriores da coxa, os quais são importantes para uma melhora do desempenho global do atleta. Assim, este estudo objetivou apresentar métodos de fortalecimento e prevenção para evitar o desequilíbrio muscular em atletas de futebol. Para a composição desta pesquisa foram consultados artigos científicos publicados entre os anos de 1994 até o mais atual 2023. As lesões decorrentes no futebol estão relacionadas ao treinamento inadequado, alterações que sobrecarregam algumas estruturas corporais, causando enfraquecimento muscular, podendo afetar os tendões e articulações. O fortalecimento muscular e os métodos de prevenção são fatores importantes para manter o equilíbrio constante da musculatura durante o treinamento e os jogos contribuindo na prevenção de lesões e aumentando o nível de competitividade nesse esporte.
Translanguaging as a Resource for Teaching and Assessment:
Authors: Plata Sterling , Macawile Karen Lynn
Published: April 2023

The scant research on translanguaging in teaching and assessment in senior high school contexts in the Philippines prompted this research to explore the perception of teachers of classes where English is the required medium of instruction.  The present study investigated the perspectives of 24 senior high school (SHS) English teachers in a focus group discussion from selected schools in Region VI-A, Philippines and 65 SHS teachers who completed a survey questionnaire adapted and modified from the studies of Nambisan (2014) and Turnbull (2018). Findings reveal that the participants leverage translanguaging as a resource to help students in knowledge construction, problem-solving, and meaning-making. In addition, the participants allow translanguaging in formative assessment but not in summative assessment tasks. This paper argues for the need to explore the role of translanguaging in teaching and assessment to ensure equity for all students.

Authors: Cequeña Maria , Mendoza Niña Svetlana
Published: April 2023

Many scholars have conducted studies on Flipped Classroom (FC) over a decade. Several of these studies have shown the FC’s positive effect on college students’ learning in face-to-face classrooms, limited research on FC was focused on high school learners and was done in online learning. To address this gap,  this study was focused on the perceived effect of the Flipped Classroom on Grade 11 Homeschoolers’ ESL learning in a digital classroom during the pandemic. Twenty-five  Grade 11 students were taught Reading and Writing Skills subject using the FC for three days. The researcher observed her co-researcher’s Flipped classroom execution and gave her constructive feedback to refine her FC implementation.   On Day 2 and 3, the researcher-made survey was administered to determine the students’ perceived effect of the  Flipped Model on their learning. However, only 15 and 11 students responded to the survey on Day 2 and 3 respectively.  A Focused group discussion was also conducted on Day 3 for the same purpose. Weighted mean was used to measure the students’ perception on the effect of the FC on their learning. Students’ responses in the open-ended questions and during the FGD  were coded.  Results show that the Grade 11 students perceived the positive effect of the Flipped Classroom on their learning through engaging in-class group activities and the materials provided before the session (cognitive engagement). Despite the study’s limitations,  the findings show that the Grade 11 students perceived that Flipped classroom had a positive impact on their learning of English language skills due to engaging collaborative activities. Hence,  educators may utilize Flipped Classroom as an instructional method; however, they have to design the learning content, materials, and activities  well to provide maximum engagement among students.

Published: April 2023

This research is quantitative, descriptive, and associative type. The population in this study was 70 employees at the Gambir Tiga Jakarta Primary Tax Service Office. The sampling technique in this study is total sampling. With the total sampling technique, a sample of 70 employees was taken at the Gambir Tiga Jakarta Primary Tax Service Office as respondents in this study. The results of this study indicate that: 1) There is an influence of work ethic on employee performance, as evidenced by the count for the X1 variable (Work Ethic) of 13,491, while the value of the t table for n = 70 is 1,994. So t arithmetic> table or  13,491> 1,994, it can be concluded that the  Work  Ethic variable influences partially the Job Performance of Employees. The coefficient regression value of the. The work ethic variable (X1) to the Employee Job Performance variable (Y) is 0.405. This means that if the Work Ethics variable (X1) rises by 1 unit it will increase the. Employee Job Performance (Y) variable by 0.405, assuming the Work Ethics variable (X1) is considered constant. 2) There is an influence of the work environment on employee work performance, as evidenced by the count for the X2 variable (Work Environment) of 16,862, while the value of the table for n = 70 is 1,994. So tcount>table or 16,862>1,994, it can be concluded that partial  Work  Environment variables affect Employee Work Performance. The value of the regression coefficient of the Work Environment variable (X2) to the Employee Job Performance variable (Y) is 0.605. This means that if the Work Environment variable (X2) increases by 1 unit, it will increase the Employee Job Performance (Y) variable by 0.605, assuming the Work Environment variable (X2) is considered constant. 3) There is an influence of work ethic and work environment together on employee work performance, as evidenced by the ANOVA or Ftest or Fcount test in the value of 302,319 which is greater than Ftable of 2.74 with a significant level of 0,000 because 0,000 <0.05, so it can be said that the Work Ethics variable (X1) and Work Environment variable (X2) together influence the Employee Performance variable (Y). While the Adjusted R. Square value of 0.900. This shows that 90% of the work ethic and work environment simultaneously (jointly) affect employee work performance, while the remaining 10% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study.

Impact of firms’ size, leverage, and net profit margin on firms’ profitability in the manufacturing sector of Bangladesh: An empirical analysis using GMM estimation
Authors: ISLAM Hasibul , RAHMAN Junaid , TANCHANGYA Tipon , ISLAM Mohammad Aminul
Published: April 2023

The study investigated the factors that influence the return on assets (ROA) of manufacturing firms in Bangladesh. The study relied on secondary data sourced from the audited annual reports of 15 leading manufacturing firms in Bangladesh, covering a period of ten years from 2013 to 2022. The sample firms were selected based on their listing on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)-30 and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE)-30 indices and their status as leading firms in the manufacturing sector using the purposeful sampling method. The study employed the one-step generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator to analyze the data, addressing the presence of endogeneity and heteroskedasticity. The results of the study indicated that the natural logarithms of net profit margin (NPM) and total sales (TS) have a significant positive relationship with ROA, while the natural logarithm of total assets (TA) has a significant negative relationship with ROA. However, the study did not find any significant relationship between the leverage ratio (D RATIO) and ROA. The lagged value of the dependent variable (L) was also found to be insignificant. The study's findings suggest that firms can enhance their ROA by improving their profitability and increasing their sales while avoiding excessive growth in their asset base. Additionally, larger firms may face diseconomies of scale that reduce their profitability. However, the lack of a significant relationship between leverage and ROA is somewhat surprising, and further research is needed to better understand the relationship between leverage and ROA in different contexts. Overall, the study utilized a rigorous data collection approach to ensure the reliability and validity of the data used for analysis, providing accurate results that can be relied upon for making informed decisions.
Load Forecasting for Demand Side Management in Smart Grid using Non-Linear Machine Learning Technique
Authors: C Bharathi , D Rekha
Published: April 2023

In recent times, as a result of the significant growth in population, the usage of energy consumptions is increasing rapidly. Analysis and design of the forecasting model for energy consumptions are challenging task because it is a complex and non-linear problem. Several methods have been proposed for forecasting the energy consumptions in smart grid, the non-linear relationship between the factors is not addressed. Therefore, there is a need for efficient, reliable and accurate forecasting methods to handle non-linearity for effective planning and management of energy consumption. In this paper, a novel hierarchical non-linear machine learning technique Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines with Genetic Algorithm is proposed to manage the energy consumption demand in smart grid. Experimental results show that the proposed hierarchical approach is much more accurate for the forecasting of energy consumption in smart grid than other approaches such as Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average, Complex Neural Network and a Simple Regression Models. The evaluation of forecast accuracy measurement gives the least error value based on the performance metrics of the Mean Absolute Percentage Error and Root Mean Square Error are 0.0651 and 201.2381 respectively.

Authors: NİŞANCI Onur Seçgin , ÖZYURT Birsen
Published: April 2023

Background: To evaluate the osteophytes seen in the cervical vertebrae of geriatric individuals in various parameters.
Materials and Methods: 764 (M: 413, F: 351) individuals who were admitted to the State Hospital Radiology Outpatient Clinic with various complaints between the years 2018 and 2023 and who met the criteria were examined in our study. A total of 1209 osteophytes were found in the individuals. The osteophytes were evaluated in terms of gender, age, grade, vertebral level, vertebral spacing, anatomical aspect, anatomical surface and length parameters.
Results: Osteophyte formation increased with age in individuals (p<0.05). Osteophyte formation was observed more frequently in men when compared to women (p>0.05). Claw type osteophytes were observed commonly in all individuals (p<0.05). While fused type osteophytes were observed commonly in men, traction-type osteophytes were observed more frequently in women (p<0.05). Osteophyte formation of grade 2 severity was observed in all individuals (p>0.05). While fused osteophytes were commonly observed at grade 4 severity, claw and traction type osteophytes were observed at grade 2 severity (p<0.05). Osteophytes were commonly observed at the C5 vertebra level in all individuals (p>0.05). Fused and traction type osteophytes were commonly seen at the C6 level, while claw type osteophytes are commonly seen at the C5 level (p<0.05). In all individuals, osteophytes were most common in the C5-6 space, followed by the C4-5, C6-7 (p>0.05). Osteophytes were commonly seen anteriorly in both sexes and all osteophyte types (p<0.05). All osteophyte types were commonly observed in the inferior surface of the vertebra (p<0.05). Males had relatively longer osteophytes (mm) than females (p<0.05). Claw type osteophyte was observed in longer dimensions than traction type osteophyte (p<0.05)
Conclusions: Osteophyte type and grade severity were found to vary between individuals. In the examinations, varying features were observed in the vertebral level, anatomical aspect, surface and length parameters of the osteophytes.

Published: April 2023

Study has been carried out to monitor the phytoplankton biomass in Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Arabian Sea (AS) using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua satellite data. Cloud masking, geometric corrections and subsets generations were performed to retrieve chlorophyll images from MODIS-Aqua data during the periods January - December for the years 2007 and 2008. The two regions (BoB & AS) have been divided into four subsets; subset-1 (Northern Bay of Bengal), subset-2 (Southern Bay of Bengal), subset-3 (Northern Arabian Sea) and subset-4 (Southern Arabian Sea). The results were analyzed and confirmed that chlorophyll concentration mean range was high (0.97-1.89 mg m-3) in northern Arabian Sea during the months of July for both years 2007 and 2008 and low concentration range (0.12-0.35 mg m-3) was obtained during April month for both years in southern Bay of Bengal. This study found to be important as information about the chlorophyll concentration in the Northern Indian Ocean.
Static-PPP Performance using Multi-GNSS (Single, Dual and Triple) Frequency Observations
Authors: Farah Ashraf
Published: April 2023

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is relatively modern GNSS positioning technique that proved its efficiency comparing with traditional Differential positioning technique for more than three decades. PPP requires only one receiver collecting observations at unknown station, while Differential technique requires two receivers collecting observations simultaneously one at known-position station and the other at unknown station. Extensive mitigation of different GNSS errors is essential for PPP-collected observations. Static-PPP accuracy depends on different factors such as; used GNSS system; single (GPS(G) or GLONASS(R) or BeiDou(C) or Galileo(E)) or mixed-GNSS systems (GPS/GLONASS or GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou or GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo), observations type (single or dual or triple frequency), satellites geometry and observations duration. This research investigates static-PPP accuracy variation on three different-latitude IGS stations based on different factors; used GNSS system (single or mixed), observations type (single or dual or triple frequency) and satellites geometry. It can be concluded that GRCE combination provides 3D-accuracy of (8 cm) using single frequency observations, (1.5 mm) using dual frequency observations and (1 mm) using triple frequency observations. GRCE combination provides a convergence time of only four minutes (8 epochs) for dual frequency observations.

Published: April 2023

The objective: to study the changes in the lung microbiota in inbred C57BL/6 mice after aerogenic infection with M. tuberculosis in an experimental tuberculosis model.

Subjects and Methods. This study was carried out on 20 female mice of inbred line C57BL/6 weighing 20-22 grams which were infected in a Glas-Col aerosol chamber (USA) with the culture of M. tuberculosis of virulent strain H37Rv at the dose of 400 CFU/lung. Morphological and microbiological assessment of the lungs state was performed before (day 0) (n=5) and 7 (n=5), 30 (n=5) and 60 (n=5) days after the infection. The results obtained were subjected to statistical processing using ANOVA test and Student t-test.

Results. 7, 30, and 60 days after aerosol infection with M. tuberculosis against the background of successive morphological and microbiological changes typical of the experimental tuberculosis model, we established an imbalance of bacterial population in the lung microbiota. Before infection with M. tuberculosis, a scanty biotope was recorded with a predominance of lactobacilli –Lactobacillus murinus, Lactobacillus apodeme. 7, 30 and 60 days after infection with M. tuberculosis, consistent changes were recorded, such as increase in the number and diversity of the bacterial population. The most indicative markers of the recorded imbalance were: Streptococcus thoraltensis, Streptococcus acidominiminus, Arthrobacter crystallopoietes, Staphylococcus hominis, Micrococcus luteus.

Conclusion. Tuberculosis infection is a significant factor affecting the state of the lung microbiota. With increased duration of the infection with M. tuberculosis, imbalance of the bacterial flora is formed in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice, accompanied by characteristic tissue inflammation and growing mycobacterial load.
Transgender men’s accounts of normalisation of maltreatment in healthcare: ‘you're not treated like a human; you're not treated like everyone else’.
Authors: Hobson Ellis Bradley
Published: April 2023

Transgender people often struggle to attend appointments with healthcare professionals due to fear of discrimination regarding their gender identity. This is apparent in the research conducted internationally. However, this research groups all subpopulations of the transgender community together as one. Little research has been conducted into the healthcare experiences solely with transgender men from the UK. Specifically, when accessing healthcare that is not directly related to their transition, of which statistics have shown the high occurrence rates of discrimination. To understand the barriers transgender men face when accessing healthcare, qualitative phenomenological research was undertaken with 10 participants who self-identified as transgender men and had experience accessing healthcare that was not related to their transition directly. In-depth interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three main themes were established: Negative experiences; Normalisation, Social Norms and aspects of discrimination; and Healthcare interaction, community and relationships. This article will focus on the theme: Normalisation, Social Norms and aspects of discrimination, due to the limited space and this being the most novel and richest of the three themes.

This system has advantages over the modern medicine as it is prophylactic. Therefore, it would be a wise step if most of medicinal plants, which are lesser known to mankind but have immense potential, particularly those which are in high demand and rare should be cultivated and brought into limelight. The basis for this book originally have been stemmed from the passion of both the authors in order to develop better methods of conveying and spreading the cultivation aspects of many crops and its uses by compiling the information available. As the world moves further into the advanced age, along with generating vast amount of information, there will be a greater need to access legacy plant materials with technology available. Thus this book helps in accessing the information on rare medicinal plants and thereby breaking down barriers of accessibility of limited information. The information provided has been compiled from various books, bulletins, write ups and journals.
