Authors: Kolikipudi Rashmika , Reddy L. Vamsi Krishna , Parlapalli Vineela , Pydi Siva Kumar , Pottem Nagarjuna , Rachuru Yaswanth Sai
Published: December 2022

The epidemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), originated in Wuhan, China, has become a major public health challenge not only for China but also countries around the world. The repercussions of the current rapid spread of COVID-19, which has affected millions of people worldwide, ranging from being isolated and quarantined to fatality have resulted in considerable psychological stress and fear.

Aim:

The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and perception of practicing dentists toward COVID-19 in Visakhapatnam.

Materials and Methods:

A self-administered, pretested, and validated questionnaire was designed and mailed to the dental professionals assessing information regarding sociodemographic details, knowledge, attitude, and perception toward COVID-19 among dental practitioners in Visakhapatnam. Convenience sampling was used and a total of 264 participants were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results:

The correct incubation period of the virus was recognized by 43% of participants. Participants in age groups 50–60, 40–50, were more likely to perceive COVID-19 as a very dangerous disease compared to 30–40 and 23–30 years of age groups. Study participants with 15–20 and 20–25 years of practice were more likely to treat those patients and ask them to go to the hospital (74%, 67%, respectively). On the other hand, dentists with 1–5, 5–10, years of practice were more likely to refuse to treat and ask him/her to leave clinic (75%, 63%, of participants, respectively). The study participants showed satisfactory knowledge and a positive attitude toward COVID-19.

Conclusion:

Although we had faced the prospect of a second wave of virus transmission, we must take certain measures and make changes to minimize the effects of next coming waves of the COVID-19 outbreak on dental practice. This is the time for change and there should be support and enthusiasm for providing valid solutions to reduce this disruption which can be achieved through increasing their accessibility to materials provided by dental health-care authorities, which specifies the best and safest approaches for dealing with patients during and after the outbreak.

Authors: Shetiya Sahana Hegde , Kumbhalwar Abhishek , Kale Sonal S.
Published: December 2022

Background:

Transgender population are a high-risk group in the community, as their oral health gets neglected due to the stigma associated with them. Since it is an impediment to obtain oral care services, a group of such persons were identified with an intention of examining them orally and providing basic oral treatment.

Aim:

To identify a cohort of transgender persons using tobacco product and provide group behavioral counseling for cessation of their habit.

Materials and Methods:

A total of five locations wherein transgender persons were residing were identified. Demographic details of the participants such as age, education status, and occupation were recorded. The tobacco product use details regarding frequency, duration of use, and form of tobacco were documented. The identified tobacco users were provided with behavioral tobacco cessation counseling. Follow-up was done every month for 6 months and at 18th month through self-reported abstinence and urine cotinine test at 6th month. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of numbers and percentages and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) (Mid-P) were provided using WinPepi PORTAL.

Results:

A total of 52 transgender persons aged 18–58 years were identified. Tobacco product use was identified in 73%, out of which 13% smoked tobacco, 84% chewed tobacco, while 2% smoked and chewed both. Postintervention at 6th month, 21% (CI: 0.10–0.36) abstained from the habit of tobacco product use, which was self-reported and 7% (CI: 0.02–0.20) was validated with urine cotinine. By the 18th month, 15% (CI: 0.06–0.29) had self-reported abstinence.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of tobacco consumption was high among transgender population. Tobacco cessation program helped in quitting the adverse habit in 15% of the population. Cessation programs supplemented with nicotine replacement therapy use in this marginalized section of the society would help achieve a better abstinence.
Beyond GDP: The Italian Methodology Using BES (Equitable and Sustainable Well-Being)
Authors: Plata Emanuele
Published: December 2022

The concept “Beyond GDP: The Italian methodology using BES” defines a complementary indicator of GDP which is able to point out a better and more complete economic measurement. This indicator is applicable at a national level, and also at a primary level of geographic area, defined as a homogeneous pedo-geo-climatic and cultural zone. Since richness and well-being for a nation are the result of a cumulative effect of all units which operate in a certain territory, from single citizen to families, from enterprises to social communities, our assumption is that BES should be a measurement effective not only at a national, regional and territory level, but even at the level of corporate organizations, and ultimately, of a specific company.
The Intangible Assets in the Green Transition of Firms: Empirical Insights from Italy
Authors: Esposito Gaetano Fausto , Pini Marco
Published: December 2022

We empirically investigate the simultaneous relationship between the various types of intangible assets and their effects on eco-innovation adoption through a sample of Italian manufacturing firms. The results highlight a positive influence of the intangibles on the likelihood to invest in eco-innovation. We observe, when focusing on the human capital, that while investments in only employee training only directly affect eco-innovation, the investments in management training for new business models indirectly influence eco-innovations by triggering the other intangible assets (R&D and intellectual property, Organizational capital, Open innovation).
Sustainable Practice in an SME. The Case of OMB Saleri
Authors: Zane Stefano
Published: December 2022

Sustainability may appear to be the exclusive territory of larger businesses. By analysing the case of an SME we can get a better understanding of the essence of what sustainability means and its profound links to an organisation’s business idea and the essence of its corporate values. The corporate vision should be an integral part of the corporate culture, an asset of the business, and as such shared by the entire organisation. In this article we analyse the case of OMB Saleri spa, a company from Brescia (Italy) with 40 years of history behind it, operating in the sector of gas valves (for LPG, natural gas and hydrogen) 45 million of revenue and 220 employees starting with the entrepreneur himself (Paride Saleri) and his business concept.
The Retail Sustainable Approach

Retail through its commercial role can favor the development of more responsible forms of production that design products and production processes in order to minimize or eliminate negative social and environmental impacts: the constant action of product selection, the evolution of the assortments of the different categories offered, the selection of suppliers can favor various actions such as the reduction of environmental impact, manufacturing, transport, use, reuse / recycling and disposal ...But all these potential actions are not considered in ONU Agenda 2030 forgetting to include Retails’ responsibility together with Production and Consumption in SDG n. 12 the article on the contrary explains the centrality of retail distribution as real front desk between offer and demand impacting the human lifestyle .
Space Economy, Innovation and Sustainability
Authors: Binci Daniele , Appolloni Andrea , Wenjuan Cheng
Published: December 2022

Space Economy (SE) is increasingly becoming relevant for business and management with impacts on many industrial segments (i.e. agriculture, transport, assurance and the environment) but also on sustainable practices (i.e. Agenda 2030). Despite the importance of SE for new business models and value creation processes in the ecosystem, theoretical approaches for the downstream space economy implementation are still quite limited in literature. Accordingly, this paper reports the results of an in-depth analysis of the main factors (i.e. Open innovation drivers and Digital Platform business model) that affect effective implementation of space value chain models
The Role of Preaching in Congregational Organizational Commitment: GKI Dasa Surabaya’s Case Study
Authors: Lontoh Frederich Oscar Lambertus , Chia Philip Suciadi
Published: December 2022

The large number of church members who do not have a commitment to the local church will certainly have an impact on the congregation's spiritual growth. Having a church means having a rule of serving one another and growing one another in all of its activities. Congregations or Christians who frequently change churches will not be involved in all the church processes in a local church. In other words, it is called a congregation without commitment (Siahaan, 2012). The purpose of this study was to measure the commitment of the congregation to the church which is thought to have an influence on the level of commitment of the GKI Dasa Surabaya congregation.
Exploring Foucault on Care of the Self and Power Relations from an Orthodox perspective
Authors: Nicolaides Prof. Angelo
Published: December 2022

Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was indisputably one of the most significant theorists of the twentieth century. His work is generally interdisciplinary in nature delving especially into the humanities, and to a greater extent it includes philosophically oriented historical research in philosophy, history and theology. All this was in a quest for truth and to reflect on humanity which is the focus. Foucault recurrently pursued a manner in which to comprehend the ideas that form our present. In the materialist and consumer driven world of the 21st Century, spiritual practices in Christianity are often viewed by growing numbers of subjects as being based on what are considered to be obsolete religious traditions. The article focuses on the notion that Christianity indeed has a huge role to play in life and in understanding contemporary spirituality and religious life. Foucault was seemingly motivated by a strong yearning to discover a substitute for intimacy with the creator God and a desire to see power relations made devoid of the ability to limit a subjects freedom and domination by, for example, churches and their doctrines and dogmas. He argued that self-awareness was not a goal in itself, but rather
something that is pursued in order for one to care for oneself in a world in which there are power relations in existence. Foucault maintained that by caring for oneself, one could transform oneself into a more ethical person. Through considering one’s previous and imminent actions and by evaluating if the actions align with ones ethics and goals, one can get to realise how insignificant one is when compared to the limitlessness creation. A standpoint on spirituality and Christianity per se, is advanced based on Michel Foucault’s work on spiritual observances in Christianity.
King David Between Power and Adultery: Jewish Perspectives on David and Bathsheba’s
Relationship
Authors: Putrawan Bobby Kurnia , Tanasyah Yusak , Negoro Alisaid Prawiro , Tandana Ester Agustini , Bulan Susanti Embong
Published: December 2022

David and Bathsheba's biblical tale is both dramatic and ambiguous: A strong man spots a stunning stranger and tells his men to call her. She conceives a child. The man makes a feeble attempt to hide it, but in the end, he kills the woman's husband, and they subsequently get married. Recent days have seen frenzied internet debates among
evangelicals on an issue pertaining to this old story: Did David have an affair with Bathsheba, or did he rape her? The solution has effects on a biblical hero's reputation as well as how youngsters are taught the well-known narrative. However, the discussion itself sheds light on—and may even alter—the perspectives held by evangelical Christians on gender, sex, power, consent, and abuse. Like the Bible, the midrashim regarding Bathsheba and her son King Solomon and her husband King David place her in a supporting role. She is never punished for her connection with David, even though her emotions and feelings are never discussed; this suggests that the rabbis thought of her as a virtuous, guiltless woman. The rabbis highlight that God approved of David's marriage to Bathsheba and pardoned David for his transgression against Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba. The rabbis present Bathsheba as Solomon's mentor during his lifetime, correcting him when he deviated from morality. This article is a contribution to biblical studies on a Jewish Perspective. The study sheds light on the debate about David having an affair with, or raping Bathsheba. This places David's narrative between the discussion of power and adultery.

Authors: Кірін Роман
Published: December 2022

У статті розглядаються стан, проблеми та перспективи правового забезпечення утворення, діяльності та співробітництва територіальних громад в Україні. Встановлено співвідношення між термінами «утворення», «реорганізація», «приєднання» та «об’єднання». У хронологічному порядку розглянуто конкретний приклад спроб об’єднання територіальних громад, в якому були наявними кілька ініціатив щодо реалізації такої функції залежно від суб’єкта їх виявлення – представницька, місцева, урядова, парламентська, який наочно демонструє не тільки недосконалість чинного законодавства, а й відсутність сталої системи як внутрішніх взаємовідносин органів центральної та місцевої влади так і декларативність зовнішнього громадянського діалогу. Визначено систему джерел права територіальних громад, яка представлена на конституційному, законодавчому та підзаконному рівнях нормативно-правовими актами, які регулюють безпосередні та суміжні групи суспільних відносин в цій сфері. Доведено, що поняття «територіальна громада» слід розглядати у двох розуміннях - як загальне та як особливе. Розкрито співвідношення категорій «форми співробітництва», «предмет договору», «умови договору» щодо співробітництва територіальних громад. Встановлено, що територіальна громада є суб’єктом наступних видів договірних відносин - цивільно-правових, державно-приватного партнерства, концесійних, спеціальних інвестиційних та інших.

Prophetic Churches for the Metaverse
Authors: Avila Angga
Published: December 2022

With a number of churches racing towards the metaverse, this paper offers a preliminary response to the phenomenon of the meta-church from the context of Indonesian churches. Churches that adopt and participate in the metaverse ought to do so not simply to be another institution that holds worship or preaches there. Churches that enter the metaverse follow strategies that are driven by followers, likes, and viewers (Joas Adiprasetya) as digital equivalents for measuring attendance, building, and cash (Chloe Lynch) without a proper understanding of the nature of the metaverse and a lack of contextual awareness may unconsciously endorse and even underwrite a system that fosters injustice and inequality. To kindle such an awareness, in this article I wish to consider Belle, a 2021 Japanese animated movie that depicts a metaverse, which features Sponsors who capitalize on its resources and thereby abuse the metaverse by perpetuating deep inequities. The film illuminates the potential condition of a metaverse that promises unlimited possibility and purports to be impartial to everyone, insofar as it connects people and removes for many the barriers of time and distance. While I argue that Indonesian churches must learn from the prophetic character of Bitcoin, they must also stay vigilant against the inherent inequities brought to bear with the advent of the NFT (non-fungible token). Leveraging Joshua Nunzianto’s interpretation of an Augustinian economy of sacrifice, I re-evaluate the very concept of a metaversal economy based on notions of scarcity and proprietary ownership. Then, with reference to Walter Brueggemann’s Prophetic Imagination and Jürgen Moltmann’s The Spirit of Hope, I construct an ecclesiology of prophetic communities that sing the melody of hope.

Transgressive Spatiality and Multiple Temporality in Jim Crace’s Arcadia
Authors: Chalupský Petr
Published: December 2022

Arcadia (1992), Jim Crace’s most distinctively urban novel, bears the idiosyncratic features of its author’s writing: it is a deceptively simple story of vague geographical and historical setting conceived as a parable of the current world concerns, it portrays a community in a transitional moment of its existence, and it places special emphasis on spatial representations of its fictitious environment which assume metaphorical properties that convey the story’s rich ideas. Moreover, as a writer focusing on moral issues with a leftist political outlook, Crace has been consistent in his criticism of the neoliberal market economy and its negative impacts on communal values, a view which is also voiced in the novel. This paper makes use of the theoretical premises of Transmodernism as well as analytical tools of phenomenologically focused geocriticism to demonstrate that Arcadia can be subsumed within so-called transmodern fiction. This critique of globalized capitalism is carried out through sites Eric Prieto terms as the entre-deux, the in-between. Accordingly, the paper attempts to demonstrate how the novel’s liminal and heterogeneous places display non-linear and complexly interrelated temporalities which are indicative of their role within the city’s progress.
Trauma Narratives of Scottish Childhood in Janice Galloway’s Short Stories
Authors: Jelínková Ema
Published: December 2022

Janice Galloway represents one of the most strikingly original voices in new Scottish fiction, which breaks with the tradition of conventional narratives looking back at the national history and looking up to larger-than-life male heroes. Instead, Galloway writes deftly crafted short stories of everyday life in contemporary settings, finding that the past informs the present and proceeding to explore how the stateless nation’s cultural heritage affects her characters. This paper analyses selected stories from Galloway’s collections Blood (1991) and Where You Find It (1996) from the perspective of trauma criticism, which seems a particularly fitting approach to the author’s often disturbing narratives of violence and abuse. The focus is on child characters and on the ways that historical trauma, as introduced by Sigmund Freud and further refined by Cathy Caruth, is passed down to them. Finally, the paper provides examples from the individual short stories which illustrate how the traumatic experience can be acknowledged, witnessed, and ultimately communicated.

Cuidados, autocuidados y Buen Vivir. La experiencia de mujeres de la periferia de Córdoba
Authors: Bonavitta Paola , Presman Clara
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo retoma la palabra, los relatos y experiencias de un grupo de mujeres de sectores populares de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, que están organizadas en torno a un comedor comunitario ubicado en un barrio periférico. Buscamos problematizar las categorías de sostenibilidad de la vida, cuidados, autocuidados y buen vivir, así como reflexionar, a través de relatos situados y de una epistemología feminista de las emociones. En cuanto a la metodología, el texto se basa en un trabajo de campo extensionista realizado a partir de una investigación-acción participativa, incorporando la mirada y los aportes de la epistemología de las emociones, en la cual recuperamos relatos y memorias, experiencias de trabajo y de sí mismas, miradas sobre el territorio como espacio de acción comunal y de encuentro, así como las implicancias de los feminismos en sus formas de ver/ser/estar en el mundo. Para exponer los resultados de nuestro trabajo de intervención extensionista, recurriremos al desarrollo y discusión de tres categorías: 1) trabajos de cuidado- cuerpos para otros; 2) autocuidado y el tiempo destinado al bienestar personal; y 3) buen vivir: deseos de una vida posible. El artículo concluye que la noción de sostenibilidad de la vida supone una potencialidad analítica para repensar la necesaria transformación del paradigma global en relación al cuidado, incorporando la corresponsabilidad y el autocuidado como dimensiones fundamentales.
Transmisión de saberes desde una perspectiva epistemológica feminista. Aportes de la crítica literaria/cultural
Authors: Abello Virginia Tatiana
Published: December 2022

La preocupación por una lengua de las mujeres o lengua feminista ha orientado las reflexiones y las prácticas escriturarias de distintas pensadoras. Desde nuestro lugar como académicas sentimos la necesidad de elaborar un nuevo lenguaje que esté más en consonancia con las críticas y propuestas de las epistemologías feministas: una palabra nueva que dé cuenta de los cuerpos, las opresiones y las formas alternativas de conocer. Podemos encontrar posibilidades de esta lengua en el cruce con otros géneros discursivos. Vale entonces preguntarse qué tránsitos entre la crítica literaria y cultural y la práctica teórica-académica son posibles, amables, atractivos. Para esto, buceo en cuatro ensayos de María Moreno en busca de tecnologías de escritura que emplea la autora para construir su especulación y que estén a su vez ligadas a las formas de construir conocimiento de la teoría feminista. Estrategias como el empleo de marcas de oralidad; la inserción de la figura autoral en el colectivo de mujeres; el empleo de la propia experiencia; el uso de la ironía, el humor y el lenguaje metafórico; y el tejido de una genealogía feminista son algunos procedimientos posibles que nos ayudan a imaginar una lengua feminista para la transmisión de saberes.
Antropología sin más: reflexiones metodológicas en torno a la adjetivación de la disciplina antropológica
Authors: Garcés Diego Javier
Published: December 2022

En múltiples investigaciones antropológicas desarrolladas en la Argentina existe una proliferación de adjetivos con los que se acompaña las palabras antropología y etnografía. Comprometida, colaborativa, militante, entre otros rótulos, se agregan desde los títulos de las publicaciones, delimitando los alcances o haciendo explícitos los intereses de las investigaciones. A fuego cruzado entre colegas que ponderan la adjetivación de la etnografía y el trabajo antropológico y quienes señalan la consolidación de mandatos disciplinares que han sedimentado un sentido común para la antropología nacional asociado a la necesidad de un compromiso profético. Propongo recuperar mi experiencia de trabajo de campo en el Departamento Valle Fértil, al Noreste de San Juan, con baqueanos de un contexto serrano, para discutir los alcances metodológicos de propuestas que insisten en adjetivar el trabajo antropológico.
Consensual Qualitative Research of Compassion and Self-Compassion Definitions: A General Public Perspective
Authors: Halamová Júlia , Petrovajová Andrea , Žilinský Tomáš
Published: December 2022

Even though compassion for others and for the self are important indicators of mental and physical health and well-being, scientists vary greatly in defining them. Therefore, we examined how the public defines compassion for others and self and explore what are the similarities or differences between researchers´ definitions and public´s definitions of compassions as well as between compassion and self-compassion themselves. 305 members of public defined compassion and self-compassion using their own words, of which we randomly selected 35 for the analysis. The definitions have been analysed using the modified Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR-M) method. The research team composed of three researchers: two core team members and one auditor. Since the domains in both definitions of compassion and self-compassion emerged matching and their proportions turned out to be similar too, we are inclined to side with the proposition that these two constructs are comparable in certain, particularly cognitive, and behavioural areas. However, differences in some categories and subcategories make us believe that they are likely to be processed in a different way. Definitions provided by the study participants majorly correspond with theoretical concepts and definitions of compassion and self-compassion of Gilbert (2009) and Strauss et al. (2016).
International Teaching Internship: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Competences
Authors: Auni Luthfi , Zulfikar Teuku , akmal Saiful , Alfiatunnur Alfiatunnur , Dina Farah
Published: December 2022

Teachers’ competences should be shaped from a very early stage of their training (Mâţă, Cmeciu, & Ghiaţău, 2013). For that reason, pre-service teachers are required to get involved in teaching internships and gain professional experience from training programs and workshops. These experiences are assets for these pre-service teachers when they resume teaching positions upon graduation. The present narrative study, therefore, aims to investigate the benefits of international teaching internship, known as South-East Asian Teacher (henceforth SEA-Teacher Program) on Indonesian pre-service English teachers’ identity and competence development. There were four male and four female participants of SEA-Teacher program participated in the study. The data for this study was generated through in-depth semi-structured phone and email interviews. The study reveals that this program has developed personal competences of the pre-service teachers, in which they improve self-confidence, coping mechanisms, and time management skill. The “SEA-Teacher” also improved pre-service teachers’ professional competences, such as development of communicative competence, pedagogical skills, new worldviews on education, career goals and new opportunities. The program also benefited these pre-service teachers’ understanding of different cultures, strengthening global-networking and promoting respect. The findings also indicated that SEA Teachers’ competences need to be further developed. Given the significant relationship between teaching competences and teaching internship at international level, it is necessary to promote the SEA-Teacher personal and professional competence. These competences are advised to be reinforced, with more emphasis on weaker domains.
Life Story Narratives of Adults with Intellectual Disability and Mental Health Problems: Personal Identity, Quality of Life and Future Orientation
Authors: Lifshitz Hefziba , Shahar Ayelet
Published: December 2022

The narrative is a functional skill and a means for sharing stories which consist of a single event or events causally related to the individual’s past, present, and future. In this study we aimed to explore the narratives of a voiceless population in society and in research: adults with a dual diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID) and a mental health problem (MHP). Our operative goals were to explore the meaning of their lives as people with a dual diagnosis, their quality of life, and their aspirations for the future. The core questions of the study were: which type of disability is assimilated in their identity: ID, MHP, or both? What is their perception regarding their quality of life in the present and their horizon for the future? Our study was based on the three functions (the directive personal identity, a social function, and a directive/problem-solving function) of the Autobiographical Memory Model. We analyzed semi-structured interviews of twelve adults (aged 31-60) with mild-moderate ID and an MHP using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings yielded four themes: personal identity, directive problem-solving function, current quality of life, and future orientation. Wilcoxon analysis indicated that the MHP is more prominent in the participants’ personal identities. Thus, people with a dual diagnosis cannot bear the burden of two disabilities. The medical staff still exhibits a medical approach. Social theories such as the Multidimensional Insight Model, Stigma Theory, the Social Inclusion Model, and the Future Time Perspective Theory can serve as explanations.
Apreciaciones del programa aprendo en casa en educación inicial desde la percepción de actores involucrados
Authors: Dávila Díaz María Elena , Olarte Ortiz María Nela , Flores Ledesma Katia Ninozca , Zamudio Misari Hortencia
Published: December 2022

El estudio presenta las apreciaciones de directoras y docentes de educación inicial, sobre el programa Aprendo en Casa, herramienta multicanal que se utilizó en Perú durante el confinamiento debido a la pandemia de la COVID 19. Este estudio cualitativo permite comprender que fueron ellas  quienes protagonizaron la implementación del programa en las tres instituciones educativas seleccionadas  en Lima Cercado, y que a pesar de las difíciles circunstancias vividas asumieron el reto, sensibilizaron a las familias y propiciaron que los niños menores de 5 años tuvieran un acceso a la tecnología que nunca antes habían tenido y además  por su propia iniciativa ante la realidad vivida, las docentes desarrollaron competencias digitales que les serán valiosas durante toda su vida profesional.

Se devela que la familia asumió un rol fundamental como aliada de la institución educativa y que el programa tuvo cambios entre el primer y segundo año de su implementación extendiendo el proceso formativo que en un primer momento estuvo centrado en el área personal social y que progresivamente se fue ampliando hacia todas las áreas curriculares permitiendo brindar un mayor soporte formativo a nivel integral a la niñez

Published: December 2022

INTRODUCTION- Pediatric medico-legal cases are important public health problems in the pediatric casualty in India. These cases are among the leading causes of pediatric disabilities and deaths. We conducted a study to evaluate the demographic features of the medico-legal cases who presented to our pediatric casualty.METHODOLOGY- : In a total of two year study period, 120 patients were presented in casualty as  medico-legal cases. Information about the patients was obtained from hospital records and analysed by us from casualty. RESULTS- : 70 male (58.3%) and 50 female (41.6%) patients were included in our study. The majority of the patients were between 10- 14 years of age (n=30; 25.0%). Fall from height  was the major complaint (n= 60; 50%) of our patients. Winter was the most common season (n= 37; 30.6%) and January (n=13; 11%) was the most common month for medico-legal admissions. The majority of the patients (n=42; 35%) presented to our emergency room between 18-24 hours. 78 cases (65%) had health risks at the time of presentation. Conclusion: Developing effective & preventive strategies is essential to prevent child  injuries. Majority of cases were males and adolescents. There is an urgent need to focus more on this vulnerable age group i.e. adolescent age group. There should be increased awareness among  pediatricians about these medico legal cases and improving counselling skills to handle relatives of patients.

Authors: Shinde Dr. Mahesh , Bhate Dr. Shreya , Misal Dr. Ganesh , Mhaske Dr. Sunil Natha
Published: December 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy may increase the risk of stillbirth, neonatal death, preterm birth, low birth weight, fetal distress, and neonatal asphyxia (1). Vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is under investigation. A few reports suggest the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from mothers to their neonates. The SARS-CoV-2 virus was reported as one of the rare causes of fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) (5) and is associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) (6).Most neonates have mild symptoms, but some develop multisystem involvement including respiratory distress, feeding intolerance, lethargy. Most of the infants have elevated biomarkers, positive septic screen, and elevated inflammatory markers. Infants diagnosed with MIS-N gradually improve after 2 doses of IVIG and IV Steroid ( Methylprednisolone).

Este trabalho, refere-se a um relato sobre a experiência, na disciplina de Biologia Básica do curso de odontologia numa universidade pública no sudoeste da Bahia, no contexto do projeto de pesquisa intitulado: cooperação e processos de tomada de consciência na formação do estudante crítico, reflexivo e autônomo . O objetivo foi analisar os impactos dos seminários, juntamente com a construção de mapas conceituais utilizando o software Cmap Tools na tomada de consciência dos alunos. Nessa perspectiva, buscou-se aporte na Epistemologia Genética. Valorizamos o trabalho em grupo (seminários) e a construção de mapas conceituais. Nos grupos, a cooperação mediada pelo professor e pelas monitoras, impactaram na construção de conceitos e no desenvolvimento da autonomia. Nesse processo, essa construção ocorre pela capacidade de pensar, de refletir e de tomar consciência – que foram evidenciadas na construção de diferentes mapas conceituais e sua verbalização e nas apresentações dos seminários. A ação aqui foi uma ação mental, uma cooperação que permitiu que os sujeitos fossem inferindo, e, desta forma, estabelecendo relações, até uma estruturação do pensamento. Assim pudemos constatar uma aprendizagem significativa, onde os sujeitos avançam de i) uma representação pré-conceitual, com domínio do pensamento transdutivo; ii) para uma representação conceitual, com compreensão da totalidade que ele conseguiu construir. Entretanto, vale ressaltar que entre uma representação pré-conceitual e uma representação conceitual existem diferentes níveis de compreensão.

O negacionismo científico está diretamente relacionado a negar fatos e evidências já estudados e comprovados cientificamente. Existem grupos que negam os problemas ambientais, a eficácia das vacinas, o formato geoide da Terra e até mesmo a Teoria da Evolução proposta por Darwin. Sumariamente, esses grupos propagam seus discursos na tentativa de disseminar ideias infundadas, de forma veementes ou por frases mais articuladas simulando uma fundamentação. Entendendo que o negacionismo científico pode afetar negativamente a credibilidade da Ciência e compreendendo que os cursos de Ciências Biológicas buscam formar profissionais atuantes nos processos do Ensino de Ciências da população, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de graduandos em Ciências Biológicas sobre questões relacionadas ao negacionismo científico fundamentadas em “teorias” pseudocientíficas. Para isso, aplicamos questionário online de concordância com escala do tipo likert, com dez afirmativas. O questionário foi disponibilizado aos participantes da pesquisa com a ferramenta Google formulários, a partir do envio de e-mail institucional. A pesquisa obteve 88 questionários respondidos, sendo 32 de participantes bacharelandos e 56 de participantes licenciandos. Identificamos, nas respostas aos questionários, que os participantes discordam dos discursos veementes comumente propagados por seguidores do movimento Terra plana, do movimento antivacina, tendo um índice de discordância superior a 95%. Entretanto, não há consenso quando analisamos as questões relacionadas à Saúde. Sobre homeopatia, ≈ 23,8% concordam com a eficácia desta ou não sabem o que é, já sobre a “medicina” quântica o índice dos discentes que não sabem do se trata essa pseudociência é de ≈ 40,9%. A partir destes dados podemos inferir que estes discentes reconhecem e são contrários à discursos mais conhecidos propagados pelos negacionistas, todavia, quando se deparam com questões ligadas à Saúde, é notório um desconhecimento dos fatos, o que poderia aproximar esses futuros profissionais das falácias pseudocientíficas e dos discursos negacionistas.

No Brasil, são muitas as dificuldades encontradas pelos professores durante a aplicação do conhecimento, tais como: a falta de materiais didáticos, a desvalorização do profissional da educação e a rotina, muitas vezes, cansativa. Dessa forma, a busca pelo aperfeiçoamento da didática pode tornar-se ineficiente, não atendendo as necessidades individuais de cada aluno. Com a publicação da Lei Brasileira de Inclusão da Pessoa com Deficiência em 2015, aprofundaram-se as discussões acerca das metodologias didáticas necessárias para assegurar o direito à educação dos alunos com deficiência no ensino regular. No caso de alunos com cegueira e baixa visão, algumas metodologias devem ser específicas e demandam um maior tempo para o seu preparo. O presente trabalho descreve o processo de produção de uma prancha pedagógica sobre o ciclo hidrológico e mudanças do estado físico da água para pessoas com deficiência visual. Para que o recurso didático pudesse atender adequadamente aos alunos, foi necessário que na sua produção fossem observados diversos detalhes, como os tipos de materiais usados na texturização, a escrita correta do Sistema Braille, o tamanho e a segurança do aluno ao manusear o material. Ao final da produção, os materiais foram avaliados por três revisores cegos do Instituto Benjamin Constant (IBC) e por seis alunos da Educação Básica da instituição (dois cegos e quatro com baixa visão), por meio de formulários de avaliação, a fim de verificar a eficiência e aplicabilidade em sala de aula. Os materiais foram aprovados para a replicação e registro na Divisão de Desenvolvimento e Produção de Material Especializado (DPME) do Departamento Técnico Especializado (DTE) do IBC, permitindo assim que sejam também solicitados por outras instituições públicas de ensino que atendam alunos com deficiência visual..
INOVAÇÃO E PRÁTICAS COSTUMEIRAS EM EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR: FATORES DE DIFERENCIAÇÃO

Published: December 2022

O debate em torno do conceito de inovação indicou a ausência de uma investigação mais consistente na dimensão educacional. Tornou-se comum considerar mudança, reforma, renovação e inovação educacional como sinônimos que determinam uma mesma realidade. Neste trabalho, emprego o conceito de inovação educacional para denominar práticas que seguem uma lógica. Por essa lógica, tais práticas se diferenciam de outras que são costumeiras em certo lugar, com certo grupo social. A presente pesquisa se orientou pelo seguinte problema: quais são os fatores que distinguem as práticas de inovação educacional das que são costumeiras em educação escolar? A hipótese era a de que, dentre tais fatores, são preponderantes: a organização do trabalho pedagógico e as relações pessoais estabelecidas no cotidiano escolar. Para averiguar tal hipótese, observei a rotina de uma escola no município de Cotia: a Escola Projeto Âncora. As informações foram coletadas através da observação direta, entrevistas e registros de conversas informais com diferentes agentes do universo escolar. Os resultados fundamentam-se na descrição das características marcantes das diferentes práticas educacionais em educação escolar. Concluo que a hipótese levantada foi confirmada.
A FILOSOFIA EXISTENCIAL A PARTIR DE POEMAS

Published: December 2022

Este artigo descreve um projeto que foi desenvolvido com alunos do 3o ano do ensino médio durante o ano de 2021, a qual envolveu o ensino de filosofia da existência através de poemas. O principal objetivo foi fazer com que os estudantes adquirissem maior domínio de habilidades socioemocionais que reflitam no cotidiano deles. Para tanto, a interface entre filosofia e poesia mostrou-se fértil na medida em que os poemas escolhidos possibilitaram apresentar reflexões existenciais de uma maneira acessível aos alunos, contribuindo tanto para o desenvolvimento de um pensamento crítico sobre o lugar deles no mundo quanto para o desenvolvimento da competência leitora. As principais referências para o desenvolvimento do trabalho foram: a obra Letramento literário (2009), de Rildo Cosson, e textos selecionados de Soren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Fernando Pessoa, Carlos Drummond de Andrade e Manoel de Barros.. Finalizada a ação, foi possível constatar o fortalecimento de habilidades socioemocionais que foram especialmente demandadas dos alunos durante o período de pandemia (sobretudo no que dizem respeito à autonomia, à individualidade e à solidariedade).

Neste artigo buscou-se analisar a temática: a participação da família nas tarefas de casa, pois entende-se a tarefa como de suma importância na complementação da aprendizagem dos alunos, sendo assim, objetivou-se especificamente: verificar se a família dialoga com a escola a respeito da tarefa de casa; verificar se as famílias auxiliam os estudantes com os horários de estudo e identificar o acompanhamento da família das atividades dos alunos nos grupos de WhatsApp. Para isso, o percurso metodológico foi organizado a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, de natureza descritiva, não-experimental, transversal, e a técnica para coleta de dados foi enquete, tendo como instrumento utilizado questionário com questões dicotômicas. Alguns dos teóricos que a presente pesquisa abarcou foram: Rolim (2018), Forbeloni (2014). A investigação aconteceu em 3 escolas públicas no município de Boninal-BA. Participaram na coleta de dados 88 familiares, 21 professores, 4 coordenadores, 03 diretores. Como resultado da investigação, obteve-se que: 30 familiares correspondente a 34,1% não dialogam com o professor sobre o dever de casa, 6 respondentes (8%) dos familiares pesquisados responderam que não auxiliam o (a) estudante na organização do horário de estudo e 18 familiares, correspondente a 20,43% dos familiares apontaram que não acompanham. Mostrando uma real necessidade do fortalecimento da participação da família nos pontos apresentados, para que todos os alunos sejam assistidos pelos familiares nas tarefa de casa.

Este trabalho analisou as dificuldades de aprendizagem dos alunos e as ações de intervenção de uma equipe multidisciplinar consideradas como referências teóricas no estudo sobre a aprendizagem. A justificativa desse tema revela-se atentar para a importância no contexto das intervenções das equipes multiprofissionais e multidisciplinares e das ações pedagógicas para minimização do insucesso escolar. O delineamento metodológico trouxe uma abordagem qualitativa de investigação com levantamento de dados e observação com entrevistas e questionários semiestruturados para melhor considerar a análise. A pesquisa baseou-se em referências teórico-científicas, a partir de legislação específica sobre o tema, normas e diretrizes para a educação brasileira. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram que as principais dificuldades apresentadas pelos alunos são de ordem psicopedagógica e psicossocial e que o processo ensino–aprendizagem sofre influências de fatores externos que afetam a aprendizagem e o processo cognitivo, as quais os orientadores educacionais procuram, de forma organizada e preventiva, resolver nos espaços escolares. A equipe multidisciplinar traça a intervenção e direcionamento oferecendo condições para que os alunos obtenham um diagnóstico capaz de inferir sobre a ações pedagógicas direcionadas para cada necessidade dos alunos, a partir de intervenções que envolvem investigação de cada sujeito. Estas ações resultam em um diagnóstico mais preciso para a intervenção no processo.
