The Word and the Holy Spirit are a necessity in the FatherKey words: Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Nicea, Constantinople, Father of Church, Essence
Menuju Pendidikan Kristiani yang Bersahabat Di Tengah Heterogenitas Agama
Authors: Susanta Yohanes Krismantyo
Published: May 2021

The practice of religious education (including Christian religious education) carried out by religious institutions is considered to have contributed to national disunity. This is indicated by the attitude of feeling the most correct self, seeing other people who are different (in the context of religion) as a party that is more inferior so as to bring up the hierarchy (domination-subordination relations) that causes alienation (exclusion) of others. This paper aims to find a friendly form of Christian education in the context of religious heterogeneity. By utilizing the concept of friendship promoted by Jürgen Moltmann, this paper shows that friendship is not just relationships formed in the private sphere but is always conceived and practiced in the public sphere. In Christian Education that promotes friendship, Christians need to transcend borders, transcend church walls and work together with other religious communities for peace and justice.

Aim: Our aim is to summarize the clinical signs, symptoms, treatment andprognosis of pregnant women with COVID-19 comparing with non pregnant women with COVID-19 at similar age interval.Method: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of all symptomatic pregnant women infected with COVID-19 between March 15 and May 31, 2020. Pregnant women (n=21) who applied to tertiary hospital during the same time period and with covid-19 diagnosis formed our working group, and control group (n=90) consisted of women who were symptomatic of reproductive age and not pregnant. Seven pregnant women and fifteen non pregnant women were excluded due to being asymptomathic and SARS- CoV-2 positive. COVID-19 infection was diagnosed with computed tomography (CT) scans. For laboratory confirmation with PCR, patients were asked to give nasopharyngeal swab samples and tested for SARS-CoV-2 with the blood-based immunoassay kit launchedprovided by Bio-Rad Laboratories.Results: Between March 15 to May 31, 2020, there were 21 pregnant women and 90 non-pregnant women who have confirmed infection for COVID-19. Seven pregnant women and 15 non-pregnant women were SARS-CoV-2 positive and asymptomatic; they are not included in the study. Fourteen pregnant women and 75 non-pregnant women are included in the study. There were no statistically significant difference between groups concerning the incidence of the symptoms (p> 0.05). Early stage is characterized by the ground glass opacities (GGO), which is common in Covid-19 disease, located in the peripheral and subpleural area. In what concerns the severity of the clinical course; the need for hospitalization, the length of hospital stay, the need for mechanical ventilation were statistically significantly higher in pregnant group. All the two groups were prescribed Hydroxychloroquine and antivirals at a similar rate but the use of antibiotics and low molecular weight heparin was statistically significantly higher in pregnant group.Conclusion and Suggestions: We found that COVID-19 infection hassimilar clinical characteristics and a similar rate of pneumonia in pregnant women.

Background: In India the proportion of early initiation of breastfeeding is hovering around 50% and the proportion of cesarean deliveries is increasing substantially. Objectives: To compare the prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) among cesarean and vaginally delivered women in hospitals in Pune District, Maharashtra State, India and to measure any association between EIBF and various socio-demographic, maternal and fetal factors. Methods: This was a multi-site study conducted in 13 selected hospitals in Pune District in 2017-18. Pune District by population is the fourth largest in India. All women delivered by cesarean section in these hospitals and an equal number of age and parity matched vaginally delivered women were enrolled. They were interviewed before discharge by obstetricians or nurses under the supervision of obstetricians, using a structured, validated tool. The data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 25. Results: In each group, 1,556 women were enrolled. The prevalence of EIBF was 81.5% and 63.6% among vaginally and cesarean delivered women. There was a significant association between EIBF and the place of residence, mode of delivery, gestational period, parity, and presence of some disease. Residence in the rural area was the strongest enabling factor with an adjusted odds ratio of 29.6 (95% C.I.; 18.7-46.9) whereas cesarean section, preterm delivery and first para were impeding factors. Conclusions: Among institutional delivered women EIBF was about 70%. Health care workers need to strongly promote EIBF awareness, especially among women from urban areas, and undergoing cesarean section.

Introduction: The Public Health Information and Epidemiological Cell (PHIEC) of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) utilizes the Geographic Information System (GIS) enabled integrated surveillance for collection, integration, analysis and reporting of geo-referenced epidemiological diseases in Bangalore city. Dengue fever is an emerging disease and there are minimum studies conducted in India about the GIS enabled dengue surveillance system. Objective: To assess the relationship between dengue cases and vector indices as depicted in the GIS map. Methodology: Data regarding dengue confirmed cases was obtained from PHIEC and entomological surveillance data from Urban Primary Health Centres (UPHC) for May to July 2017 in south zone of Bangalore city and active data collection was done for August and September 2017. Results: There was significant association between the number of dengue cases and the Breteau index in the month of September. However, there was no association between vector indices and the number of cases during the month of October. In some wards, contrary findings were noted between dengue vector indices and number of cases reported. Conclusion: There was a relationship between reported dengue cases and vector indices and there is a need for incorporation of entomological data into GIS system along with epidemiological and intervention data. Involvement of more private and government health care providers may help answer the gap between entomological data and number of dengue cases.
CALCULATIONS IN CHEMISTRY: PERMANENT PROBLEM OF STUDENTS AND THEIR TEACHERS
Authors: Maciejowska Iwona
Published: May 2021

Problems requiring calculation at chemistry lessons cause a peculiar difficulty to students. The bibliography concerning the methods of solving calculus problems is very extensive. Several propositions ((visualisation of an algorithm, teamwork with students-experts and addition of context to text of exercises) verified in practice are described there. They can make easier the teacher work in developing students’ skills in solving calculus assignments in chemistry, particularly in classes where chemistry is taught at basic level. But the most important issue is to reflect not “how” but “why” a teacher includes calculus problem in her/his own chemistry lessons.
Key words: calculations, teaching in context, chemistry education.
STUDENTS‘ INDEPENDENT WORK IN A GEOGRAPHY LESSON: SOME USEFUL ASPECTS
Authors: Railienė Laima
Published: May 2021

The majority of performed scientific researches show that one of the most important aspects in a secondary school is how to make the teaching process more varied, not so boring and tiresome for students. Students appreciate not only dynamism of a lesson but also teacher‘s human features: subject competence, tolerance, understanding, sociability, etc.
Geography in a secondary school is the most intergrated subject including the spheres of nature and people’s life.
There is no absolutely useful or useless teaching method or style that could be effectively used or rejected in teaching geography in a secondary school. Any method and style is good if it helps to achieve teaching aim. Teaching methods and styles have to be co-ordinated in a geography lesson.
One of such methods that could be used effectively in a geography lesson is students’ independent work. What are advantages and disadvantages of this method? How can it help students to get and consoli-date knowledge? All these items are discussed in this article.
Key words: teaching method, teaching style, independent students’.

This paper presents a comparative hydrogeochemical characterization on the predominant ions of the underground water that flow the Cocal vein, in the Mina 3 (Companhia Nitroquímica Brasileira), Fluorine Distritic of Santa Catarina, Morro da Fumaça Co., Santa Catarina, Brazil. Four samples were selected: P1 – underground water to 300 m of depth; P2 –underground water to 150 m of depth; P3 – water of the dam of reject; P4 – treated water of provisioning of Companhia Catarinense de Águas e Saneamento (CASAN). In the water sample collected in the selected sources, quantitative determinations of physical-chemical parameters (pH and electric conductivity) and of cations (Al, Ca, Cl, Li, Mg, Mn, K, Si, Na, and Zn) and anions (sulfate, chloride, bicarbonate, and fluorine) were performed. The results obtained revealed that most of the analyzed ions are related to the representatives that originated from rocks that constitute the pools where the studied water flow. The hydrogeochemical classification was obtained starting from the miliequivalence pattern among the main elements, in the cations and anions form being used the triangular diagram of Piper. The underground water of the point 1 presented a hydrogeochemical characterization compatible with is geological environment occurrence and being perceptible the characterization of an interrelation among the rock and the water that circulate within and they also presented an amount of larger ions than the water of the point 2, in since it flow through a mineralized pool. The underground water of the point 2 presented good potable conditions, with some restrictions. In the water of the point 3 there is a larger ions concentration by due to the washing of the mineral, that allows a larger solubilization of the elements, and the time of permanence of the water in the lake also causes larges concentration. The water collected in P4 point exhibit good water potability parameters and absence of conditions that favor fluorosis.
TIME, ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL, AND PRODUCTS DESTINATION IN A BIOREFINERY
Authors: Brandini De Boni Luis Alcides
Published: May 2021

This manuscript deals with the production of biodiesel from triglycerides (TG); soybean oil was the primary raw material. The transesterification reaction was used to convert triglycerides into monoalkyl esters. The catalytic mixture of methanol and potassium hydroxide (KOH) was used in the transesterification reaction. The anhydrous refining of biodiesel was used to reduce side reactions during the purification process. The treatment of glycerol by acidification with H3PO4 and its subsequent purification was a convenience process aiming to form the desired byproducts. The conversion of residual fatty acids to soaps through the saponification reaction or into esters through the esterification reaction with H2SO4 can be done by observing the market of those products. The monitoring of the transesterification reaction in real-time with laser spectroscopy allows the variation of the temperature during the reaction process without losing the reaction endpoint. The use of only one reaction vessel for the accomplishment of several unit operations aiming the reducing of the reaction time in the production process was well succeeded. The main resulting products are biodiesel, glycerol, fertilizer, and soaps. As expected the biodiesel can be used as a source of energy, the glycerol can be further refined but this process was not explored at this manuscript, the resulting salts can be used as fertilizers, and the soups can be sold and used as a soup.

Proved negative impact on the processes of repair of background somatic pathology (peptic ulcers and 12 duodenal ulcers), justify the application of immunomodulator "Erbisol" as a drug that speeds up the repair processes during implantation. At present, the relevant issues are those related to the development of inflammatory complications at the stage of rehabilitation of patients, especially in the presence of somatic pathology and the study of the tissue complex of the implantation zone. Peptic ulcer disease occupies one of the main places in the structure of lesions of the digestive system. The close interdependence between the pathology of internal organs and the oral cavity is confirmed by numerous observations and studies.Implant placement is accompanied by changes in the enzymatic activity of mixed saliva. The presence of somatic pathology (ulcerative disease of the stomach and 12 duodenal ulcers) often leads to more long-term violations of the enzymatic activity of saliva. The use of the drug "Erbisol" in orthopedic dentistry accelerates the repair process, as evidenced by the earlier periods of normalization of the enzymatic activity of mixed saliva, after the installation of implants.Regular and timely monitoring of the condition of the periarticular tissues, as well as objective diagnosis of early inflammatory complications, are necessary to ensure the reliability and long-term functioning of prosthetic structures installed on implants in the oral cavity.It can be concluded that the purpose of our study was to study the trypsin-like activity (TPA) of mixed saliva after implant placement on the background of somatic pathology.

Due to their diverse properties, plastic materials are used in numerous sectors. It is possible to produce different articles and plastic objects with reduced costs, being more accessible to the population. Conventional plastics are obtained from petroleum-derived raw materials, a non-renewable resource in which their extraction and refining process cause major environmental impacts. The production of plastic reaches a level of approximately one hundred and forty million tons per year, and the disposal of these materials is increasing, generating a high rate of waste and leading to an increase of pollution since the decomposition of these materials lasts about five hundred years old. Conventional plastics can be replaced by bioplastics, a material obtained from renewable raw materials such as potatoes, cassava, maize, and which, when disposed of under favorable conditions, decomposes faster, as during its degradation process at least one step occurs. Through the metabolism of organisms present in the environment. Starch has been widely used in the production of biodegradable packaging, so the objective of this work was to produce a biodegradable bioplastic from the potato starch. Potato starch, glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, distilled water, and commercial agar were used to produce the bioplastic. Bench-scale bioplastics had good organoleptic characteristics, similar in appearance to a conventional plastic obtained from petroleum. The thickness, moisture content, and solubility of the bioplastics were analyzed, as well as their fruit preservation capacity. The samples produced were rigid and with good resistance.

Internet of Things (IoT) plays a pivotal role in easing the work of people. Internet of Things is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The unique identifiers mentioned above are RF transmitters, which use electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. Using RF technology, we will decrease manually achieved workloads considerably and RF technology is universal, useful, and efficient. The microcontroller is used to extract information from the RF transmitter and send it to the system with the help of a Wi-Fi module. By incorporating these technologies, it helps us in tracking the bicycles and do the required analysis. This project is primarily designed to monitor bicycles in a bicycle club. It is used to identify the location of bicycles that are used within a particular area. The hardware architecture consists of a transmitter, RF receiver, microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, Web server, and database server. The web server and database server are located in the master station. The RF transmitters are distributed around an open area. They are programmed with a unique ID for each bicycle. The communication between the tag reader and the webserver is done via microcontroller and Wi-Fi modules.

Published: May 2021

Dada a publicação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC para o Ensino Fundamental em dezembro de 2017, a finalidade do ensino de álgebra passou a ser o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico. Diante disso, este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar se problemas propostos sobre sequências recursivas, que configura um dos conteúdos que compõem a unidade de Álgebra, estão sendo explorados em livros didáticos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental de modo a contribuir com o desenvolvimento desse modo de pensar. Fundamentada nas características do pensamento algébrico de Almeida e Câmara (2017) e nos elementos essenciais de um problema segundo Malaspina (2017), entende-se este estudo como sendo de abordagem qualitativa e de cunho documental, em que se adotou como metodologia para análise dos problemas a Análise de Conteúdo da Bardin (2011). A partir do estudo realizado verificou-se que há indícios de uma reorientação dos livros didáticos do Ensino Fundamental no sentido de uma educação algébrica que visa o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico, conforme orienta a BNCC.
Conhecimentos, valores e práticas (KVP) em licenciandos em física

Considerando que as Representações Sociais podem ser compreendidas como concepções coletivas, neste artigo, nos fundamentamos no modelo KVP, que considera que há uma relação entre os conhecimentos científicos, valores e práticas sociais, para analisar concepções dos licenciandos a respeito de três eixos: epistemologia da Ciência, ensino e aprendizagem e prática docente. Investigamos ingressantes e concluintes de um curso de Física, utilizando 81 assertivas estruturadas na escala Likert. As respostas foram organizadas estatisticamente em 19 indicadores definidos previamente, divididos entre os três eixos de investigação. Para os ingressantes, foram identificadas concepções epistemológicas voltadas para o empirismo-indutivismo e uma aceitação de modelos pedagógicos contraditórios. Já os concluintes apresentaram uma epistemologia parcialmente voltada para o realismo, e um perfil docente hegemônico frente ao sócio-interacionismo, acompanhado de algumas divergências a respeito de outros perfis. Esses resultados indicam que uma licenciatura estruturada na profissionalização docente pode contribuir com uma aproximação dos saberes do universo reificado.

Published: May 2021

O artigo aborda a Biotecnologia com foco na articulação de relações entre Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente no contexto da educação básica. Objetivou-se compreender como tal abordagem contribui para a elaboração de reflexões e posicionamentos críticos pelos estudantes de um curso profissionalizante em Meio Ambiente, a partir das interações discursivas produzidas durante o desenvolvimento de sequência didática envolvendo o uso indevido e o descarte de medicamentos. Utilizaram-se estratégias pedagógicas a partir de atividades como roda de conversa, seminários e debate. Para constituição dos dados, empregou-se a Análise Textual Discursiva, resultando na construção de categorias associadas à problematização sobre uso e descarte de medicamentos, solução dos problemas apontados e alternativas ao uso de medicamentos. Como resultados, destaca-se que os estudantes apresentaram: indícios de conscientização sobre a ingestão indevida de fármacos; posicionamento crítico com relação à ciência e à tecnologia; perspectivas de soluções para problemas associados ao descarte inapropriado de medicamentos.

O caso de Nicolas Leblanc e a produção da soda: elementos para compreensão da natureza da ciência
Authors: Colturato Andriel Rodrigo , Massi Luciana
Published: May 2021

A inserção da História e Filosofia da Ciência no Ensino de Ciências é fundamental, pois remete à Natureza da Ciência (NdC).Entendendo que esse debate pode ser enriquecido por meio de um referencial teórico de interpretação da realidade, adotamos o materialismo histórico-dialético para analisar o caso de Nicolas Leblanc e a produção de soda para investigar a NdC. A síntese histórica se dá pela análise da particularidade do objeto considerando-a como campo de mediações entre os fatos universais e singulares inseridos na totalidade histórico-social. Analisamos as relações entre a química e a indústria no século XVIII e demonstramos, além das questões sobre NdC comumente destacadas, as dinâmicas entre o conhecimento artesanal e o industrial e as múltiplas relações entre a ciência e os aspectos sociais e naturais. O episódio explicita como a ciência é determinante e ao mesmo tempo determinada pela prática social.
Arts & Literature: Feeding Her Child a Green Slipper Instead of a Cucumber

I first observed the confident, sad, yet hopeful face of Nabat Fayiaq Rahman through the black screen of the TV. She was wearing a traditional, completely black Kurdish outfit that matched the stage curtains designed for the anniversary of the Anfal genocide, marked on April 14th of each year. The Kurdish Anfal genocide in Iraq was perpetrated by Saddam Hussein’s regime in the 1980s. Human Rights Watch (1994) estimates that as many as 182,000 Kurds were buried alive in mass graves; many of these mass graves were found after Hussein was overthrown. More than 2.5 million people were displaced, 4500 villages destroyed, and 250 towns and villages exposed to chemical weapons.
