Authors: Miño Gonzalez Luis , Quitral Navarrete Melissa
Published: July 2023

El trabajo que se presenta consiste en una investigación, que intenta indagar sobre la presencia o ausencia de la etimología de conceptos disciplinares de la física en los libros de texto que entrega el Ministerio de Educación de Chile a los colegios municipales y particulares subvencionados en el año 2018.Se analizó cada unidad temática nivel por nivel de primero a cuarto año de enseñanza media, tomando como referencia las palabras clave que propone el Ministerio de Educación en las bases curriculares. Además, se aplicó una encuesta que tuvo como objetivo indagar el nivel de conocimiento, la importancia que le asignan y el uso que hacen de la etimología de conceptos de Física los profesores de la asignatura pertenecientes a los colegios municipales y particular subvencionados de la comuna de Santa Cruz de la región de OHiggins. El análisis de resultados permite concluir la escasa o nula presencia de etimología de conceptos científicos en los libros de texto revisados, así como se comprobó también que, no obstante considerarla importante, existe total desconocimiento sobre el tema, y el profesor en activo no utiliza la etimología de conceptos disciplinares como un recurso que podría facilitar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de la física.
Relación entre las racionalidades de profesores de ciencia sobre habilidades de pensamiento científico y las visiones de indagación científica de sus estudiantes
Authors: González Romina , Santibáñez Gómez David
Published: July 2023

Las racionalidades de los docentes, las habilidades de pensamiento científico (HPC) y las visiones de los estudiantes sobre cómo se genera el conocimiento científico son vagamente investigadas en nuestro país, a pesar de tratarse de temáticas críticas en la educación científica actual. Mediante un enfoque cualitativo y la estrategia de estudio de caso único, la presente investigación, intenta abordar cómo se relacionan estas temáticas, bajo el supuesto que las formas de pensamiento de los profesores influyen en sus decisiones didácticas y las visiones de ciencia que sus estudiantes son capaces de desarrollar. Se recogieron datos a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, el cuestionario de Visiones sobre Indagación Científica (VASI) y videograbaciones de clases en un colegio de varones de la ciudad de Concepción. De acuerdo con las evidencias recogidas, se lograron identificar orientaciones constructivistas, así como estrategias más tradicionales de cómo abordar la enseñanza de las ciencias y el desarrollo de HPC. Asimismo, se identificaron factores obstaculizadores que podrían explicar la poca atención de los profesores sobre las HPC. En cuanto a las respuestas en los cuestionarios VASI, estas dan cuenta de la prevalencia de una visión mixta o transicional sobre cómo se genera el conocimiento científico en los estudiantes. Finalmente, se analiza cómo las racionalidades de los profesores y las visiones sobre indagación científica de sus estudiantes podrían estar relacionadas.

Testimonia Koleksiyonları ve Hıristiyan Apolojetik-Polemik Eserlerdeki Şahit-Metinlerin Kullanımı
Authors: YÜCEDOĞRU Zeynep
Published: July 2023

İlk Hıristiyanlar, Yahudilerin kutsal metinlerinden seçili pasajları listeler halinde derleyip adeta birer kutsal kitap mahiyetinde muhafaza etmişlerdir. Bu koleksiyonların içeriği incelendiğinde Yahudi karşıtı apolojetik-polemik karakteristik göze çarpmaktadır. Bununla birlikte küçük koleksiyonlar olarak nakledilegelen bu metin listelerinin kateşist eğitimde kullanıldığı da yaygın kabuller arasındadır. Hıristiyanlar delil-metinler arasından öne çıkan belirli pasajlara zamanla testimonia yani şahit-metin statüsü atfetmiş, böylece dolaşımda olan diğer delil-metinlere nispetle testimonia pasajları teolojik hakikatin yoruma dahi ihtiyaç duymayan şahitleri olarak kabul edilmiştir. Testimonia koleksiyonlarını oluşturmak ve muhafaza etmek Hıristiyanlar için sadece teknik bir faaliyet olmamış, aynı zamanda erken dönem Hıristiyan teolojisini belirli merkezi pasajlar etrafında şekillendiren bir geleneğe dönüşmüştür. Bu geleneğin izleri ilk kilise babalarının eserlerinde görülmektedir. Nitekim sonraki Hıristiyanlar arasında da testimonia geleneğinin devam ettiğini söylemek mümkündür. Grekçe, Latince ve Süryanice eserlerdeki testimonia pasajları Arapçaya tercüme edilerek Müslümanlara karşı yapılan gerek sözlü münazaralarda gerekse apolojetik-polemik eserlerde kaynak olarak kullanılmıştır.

Bu çalışmadaki temel amaç farklı dönemlerde yaşamış Hıristiyan Arap yazarların eserlerinde öne çıkan Kitâb-ı Mukaddes alıntılarının testimonia geleneğiyle olan irtibatını incelemektir. İlk yüzyıllardan itibaren teolojik argümanlara eşlik eden bu şahit-metinlerin Hıristiyan yazarların Müslümanlara karşı kaleme aldıkları apolojileri ve polemiklerinde “kitaptan delil getirme” stratejisiyle birlikte nasıl kullanıldığı, yorumlandığı, önceki testimonia geleneğiyle kesişim noktaları ve farklılaşan hususları bu çalışmanın temel soruları olacaktır.

Antirracismo como estratégia de marca
Authors: Lopes Resende Vitor , Luiz Covaleski Rogério
Published: July 2023

Nos dias de hoje, marcas têm adotado causas sociais em posicionamentos, estratégias e ações. Por mais que seja um conceito questionado, a publicidade de causa se apresenta como um meio de divulgação em defesa de causas e posturas socialmente responsáveis por parte das empresas. A própria noção de publicidade antirracista emerge daí, visto que muitas empresas se identificam assim. Discutimos aqui a publicidade em meio a esse contexto, buscando referências em relação à raça, racismo e antirracismo. Fazemos isso a fim de perceber como a marca global Carrefour tem-se posicionado em relação ao tema no Brasil, bem como em relação a situações em que é confrontada com sua própria postura pública antirracista, notadamente em uma conjuntura neoliberal que se espalha rapidamente sobre pontos de contato entre marcas e sociedade.

Published: July 2023

O presente estudo realiza uma análise sobre o projeto de intervenção artística intitulado "São João Vivo", realizado em junho de 2020 e de 2021, na cidade de dom Basílio, região sudoeste do estado da Bahia. A pertinência da ação cultural aparece como ponto crucial neste trabalho para descrever os resultados e os significados que foram gerados face à realização do concurso de ornamentação das casas durante as festividades de São João (padroeiro da cidade). A realização do projeto surge da necessidade de encontrar, em meio à pandemia do covid-19, caminhos que levassem a comunidade a permanecer em estado de festa e comunhão junina, período de sua maior manifestação cultural popular, mesmo com todas as restrições e medidas de afastamento social, emitidas pelos órgãos de saúde. Com base na pesquisa reflexivo-indutiva, a partir da observação participante, o autor descreve os caminhos percorridos na realização do projeto e a importância do mesmo no contexto mencionado; destaca os fluxos de participações no referido concurso e conclui, entre outros resultados, sobre o sentido festivo atribuído à cidade, além da promoção da cultura local em período pandêmico. A busca pela validação das práticas culturais desenvolvidas aparece como um dos objetivos neste trabalho, ao passo que a sistematização das ações e a descrição dos modos de ser/fazer da comunidade contemplam características oportunas à reflexão técnica e científica. Este trabalho é, sobretudo, um convite a conhecer as belezas e saberes produzidos em tempo de escassa manifestação da cultura popular.

Ketoconazole: A Promising Drug for Fungal Infections
Authors: Jodh Rahul , Tawar Mukund , Mude Gaurav , Khodaskar Hitesh , Kinekar Karishma
Published: July 2023

Ketoconazole is a synthetic imidazole antifungal agent that can be used to treat surface fungal infections, genital, chronic mucocutaneous candidosis, and candidosis. Ketoconazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative that is effective after oral administration, unlike older imidazole antifungals like miconazole and clotrimazole. It works well for fungal infections on the skin, such as dermatophytosis and genital candidiasis. It has become useful for the treatment of persistent mucocutaneous candidiasis. In immunocompromised individuals, ketoconazole is also used to prevent fungal infections. It has lately been utilised as a therapy for advanced prostatic cancer because it inhibits the production of adrenal sex hormone. Although oral ketoconazole has been subjected to labelling modifications and market withdrawal because of substantial adverse effects, topical ketoconazole is widely regarded to be efficacious, safe, and best for treating superficial fungal infections. Onychomycosis, blepharitis, and hair loss are some of the new dermatologic indications for topical ketoconazole usage.
Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery: A Promising Drug Delivery for Protein Drug
Authors: Dhapake P. R , Baheti J. R , Suruse P.
Published: July 2023

Protein drugs are the biological drug which cannot be administered orally due to problems related to degradation of protein complex in the acidic and protease-rich environment of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. High molecular weight of protein drugs often results in poor absorption into the periphery when administered orally. Thus, generally protein drugs administered by injection. Most of the proteins drug have a short serum half-life which need to be administered frequently or in high doses to achieve the therapeutic effectiveness. Frequent dosing of these drugs by injection make patient uncomfortable and cumulative doses also may produce severe side effect due to unspecific binding of drug to non-targeted tissue. So, these difficulties in the administration of protein drugs provides the motivation for preparation of novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) In which drug will protect form biological and chemical degradation in the body and able to release drug for long time after oral administration. Encapsulation of proteins drug in a polymeric nanoparticle has been a widely investigated technology for protein drug delivery. Some ligand enhances the penetration of nanoparticles across the intestinal epithelial cell thus the ligand conjugated polymer can use to enhance the penetration of protein drug across the intestine.

Bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in diabetic foot ulcer: A retrospective study
Authors: Kasaravalli Tanvi , Singh Astha , T Nandini , Manjunath Meghana
Published: July 2023

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant risk for individuals with long-standing diabetes mellitus, leading to hospitalizations and potential amputations. The prevalence of diabetes in India is expected to reach 57 million by 2025. DFUs are resolvable complications, with proper treatment resulting in healing rates of 75–80%, while a percentage of cases may require amputations. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach, including sterile dressing, meticulous foot care, and appropriate antibiotic therapy. The irrational use of antibiotics, often based on random choices before obtaining culture reports, contributes to the burden. DFUs impact the quality of life, exacerbate the economic burden, and affect low socioeconomic groups disproportionately. This study proposes an antibiotic policy to reduce irrational antibiotic use until sample reports are available, promoting more rational prescribing practices.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was (i) to identify commonly infecting organisms in DFU cases; (ii) to look for the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in cases of DFU; and (iii) to come up with a disease and region-specific antibiogram.

Materials and Methods: The culture and sensitivity reports of DFU swabs were retrospectively procured from multiple microbiology labs between September 2018 and September 2019. The data collected were tabulated into Excel worksheet and analyzed. The results were then simplified into pie and bar charts. Many descriptive statistical tools such as percentage and mean were used to come to a conclusion.

Results: 159 cases of DFUs were examined, revealing that 81% of cases occurred in men and the incidence increased with age, with 65% of cases being over the age of 50 years. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common infecting organism (20.75%), followed by Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas. Non-healing ulcers in 9.7% of cases showed no bacterial growth. Amikacin exhibited the highest sensitivity (60%), whereas ceftazidime demonstrated the highest resistance (66%). Over 80% of patients had long-standing diabetes for over 15 years.

Conclusion: The study highlights the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and the need for a well-defined antibiotic protocol. Uncontrolled diabetes increases the risk of DFUs. Empirical antibiotic treatment is crucial before culture reports, and amikacin, cefazolin, and vancomycin combination therapy is effective. Ceftazidime, amoxicillin/clavulunate, and cefotaxime should be avoided. The patient education on foot care is vital.

Authors: Çolakkadıoğlu Oğuzhan , Özel Gözde , Çelik Metehan
Published: July 2023

This study aims to establish a Turkish version of the Children’s Inventory of Anger Scale (ChIA) developed by Nelson and Finch (2000) to evaluate the intensity of anger experienced in potentially anger-provoking situations in children. The research sample consists of 502 primary and secondary school students attending their education in Hatay province of Turkiye. In the study, the construct validity of the ChIA, correlations of subscales with each other, criterion relative validity, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency, item-total score correlation, and test-retest reliability coefficients were examined. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed for the construct validity of the scale, it was observed that the ChIA was compatible in four sub-dimensions as in the original scale and all items were placed in the relevant sub-scale. In addition, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the ChIA was found to be .87, .78, .82, .75, and .81 for the sub-scales of inhibition, physical aggression, peer relations, and authority relations, respectively; test-retest consistency was found to be .83, .80, .82, .87 and .81 for inhibition, physical aggression, peer relations, and authority subscales, respectively. Statistical analyses of the ChIA have shown that it is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to measure the expression of anger and the impact of anger on personal relationships while assessing specific situations that cause anger in children aged 8-11 years.

A field experiment was conducted at KVK Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh winter-sown season of 2007-08 and 2011-12 to find out effect of sowing dates and weed management on weed growth, yield attributes, yield and nutrient uptake by weeds and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under rainfed and irrigated conditions . Front line demonstrations were conducted on 92 farmers' field, to demonstrate production potential and economic benefit of improved technologies comprising wilt resistant varieties (JG 130, JG 11, JG 16 and JG 14), line sowing (40 × 10 cm), integrated nutrient management (20:60:40, NPK kg/ha). The seeds were treated with Trichoderma viride @ 4g/kg seed than inoculated with rhizobium and phosphate-solubilzing bacteria each @ 20 g/kg of seeds. Pre-emergence application of weedicide Pendimethalin @ 1 kg a.i /ha used for effective control of the weeds during rabi season of 2007-08 to 2011-12 in rainfed and irrigated condition .The improved technology recorded a mean yield of 16.00 q/ha which was 30.60% higher then that obtained with farmers' practice yield of 9.68 q/ha. The improved technologies resulted higher mean net income of Rupees 29 302/ha with a benefit cost ratio of 4.13 as compared to local practice (20 490/ha, 3.51). Irrespective of different sowing date of JG-11 chickpea variety, produced highest seed , no. of capsules/plan, no. of seeds/capsule and 100 seed weight(g) (18-22 October, 2008-09) as compared to other dates of sowing.

A field experiment was conducted at New Delhi during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 to evaluate the effect of growth retardants on seed scape height, seed yield and quality attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.) cv. Pusa Riddhi. The experiment consisted of 15 treatments in combinations of three growth retardants, viz. paclobutrazol, ethephon and triadimefon. The results revealed that among different growth retardants, 100 ppm paclobutrazol significantly reduced the seed scape height (69.9 cm) and increased the seed scape diameter (3.71 cm). The paclobutrazol application also significantly improved the umbel diameter, umbellates/umbel, productive umbellates/umbel, seed setting (%), 1 000 seed weight and seed yield/umbel but it reduced the leaves/plant and seed scapes/plant. The triadimefon treatment significantly reduced the disease severity and disease incidence which affects the seed yield and quality. Seed quality attributes were not much influenced by growth retardant applications but higher seed vigour index-I (952.14) and II (186.13) were recorded under triadimefon and paclobutrazol treatments respectively. Paclobutrazol application also influenced the total leaf chlorophyll content and seed antioxidant enzymes, viz. SOD, catalase and glutathione reductase over the control treatment.

Human beings often devote a significant portion of their lives to work. Given the substantial investment of time, energy, and dedication, it is natural, and perhaps increasingly so, to have high expectations for professional life in contemporary society. Recognizing the relevance of work in people's lives today, a qualitative narrative review was conducted with the general aim of exploring the potential contributions of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis to the context of work and organizations. The central role of the concept of life meaning in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis contributes to and calls for a consideration of human experience in terms of actions, relationships, and organizational structures. Thus, it is necessary to establish spaces for reflection on the relationship between meaning and work for both men and women in contemporary times. Ultimately, the research reveals that one of the key implications of applying Analytical Existential thought to work and organizations is the proposition of creating more humane companies, which is a necessary requirement for the experience and enhancement of meaning in work and organizations.

Published: July 2023

This paper discusses the guarantee of ne bis in idem between different sanctioning instances and its contraposition relation with the primacy of independence between the instances, specifically regarding the Brazilian regime of repression of administrative misconduct. It starts with the adoption of the side that defends the incidence of the typical guarantees of the criminal law to the punitive processes ruled by the sanctioning administrative law, from an initial approach of the debate regarding the connections between these two legal branches. Given this discussion, the analysis focuses on the recent changes promoted by the Federal Law 14.230/2021 to the Administrative Misconduct Law (Federal Law 8.429/1992). In this sense, based on a bibliographical review and legislative analysis, it is intended to understand whether the changes promoted in the Administrative Misconduct Law brought new manifestations of the guarantee of ne bis in idem between different sanctioning spheres in the Brazilian legal system, in order to mitigate the traditional independence between the punitive instances enshrined in article 37, § 4, of the Federal Constitution of 1988.

Authors: Silva Diogo Lopes da
Published: July 2023

This text articulates the results of investigations on the representations of non-teaching workers in the relationships established with other agents in the school environment. The object and subjects of this study are workers who do not work directly in the pedagogical field at school, but who support it. This is research of ethnographic inspiration, added to the qualitative instrument of the interview that helps in the reading of the social figurations of the school community (N. Elias) in the light of the theory of Social Representations (S. Moscovici) and the concepts of Working Class and Relational Work, as found in Ricardo Antunes and Tardif and Lessard respectively. It is considered here the dynamics of the relations and the perceptions about the conditions for the execution of the work, the structure of organization of the school space as a workplace and legal documentation that names, regulates and prescribes the actions in this space.
