Objetivo: Analisar a relação das problemáticas acerca do saneamento básico no município de Quatipuru nos bairros Vital-lândia e Cantanhede com o perfil sociodemográfico da população residente, sob o contexto da injustiça e do racismo ambiental. Métodos: Inicialmente realizou-se uma análise e sistematização de informações de trabalhos anteriores referente ao tema, posteriormente, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo com aplicação de um questionário estruturado. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados em planilhas do Microsoft Office Excel 2016 para a análise quantitativa descritiva, a fim de determinar as frequências absoluta e relativa. Resultados: O perfil dos moradores em ambos bairros revelou uma população maioritariamente negra, que corresponde a 90% no Vital-lândia e 91% no Cantanhede, de baixa renda e com baixos percentuais de escolaridade, em que 65% no Vital-lândia e 67% no Cantanhede não concluíram o ensino fundamental. Na avaliação do saneamento, constatou-se restrições quanto a acessibilidade de água pela rede pública e problemas quanto a sua qualidade, observou-se precariedades quanto as condições das moradias, da rede de esgoto e principalmente quanto a rede de drenagem, em que 87% do Vital-lândia e 100% do Cantanhede não possuíam estruturas, coincidindo com os relatos de alagamentos e enchentes. O quadro dos resíduos sólidos mostrou a ineficiência de coleta do resíduo orgânico gerado da catação de caranguejo. Conclusão: O comportamento da distribuição dos dados de infraestrutura e saneamento, nos dois bairros, revelam que áreas marginalizadas possuem grandes restrições quanto ao acesso ao saneamento básico, o que evidencia o racismo ambiental.

The Effect of Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on MEFV, PSTPIP1, Siva, and ASC Gene Expression Levels
Authors: AKKAYA-ULUM Yeliz Z.
Published: October 2023

Aim: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is the one of the most common autoinflammatory diseases. FMF is characterized by fever attacks and inflammation and colchicine treatment reduces the frequency and severity of FMF attacks. The FMF gene, MEditerranean FeVer (MEFV), encodes a protein called Pyrin, which regulates inflammation through its interactions with several proteins. These proteins are; Apoptosis-associated speck like protein with a CARD (ASC), Proline serine threonine phosphatase interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1), 14.3.3 proteins and Siva proteins. In this study, we aimed to study the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs with different mechanisms of action on MEFV, PSTPIP1, Siva, and ASC gene expression levels.

Material and Methods: We used differentiated monocytic cell line called THP-1 cells. Cells treated with colchicine, naproxen, prednol-L, acetylsalicylic acid, or azathioprine w and w/o lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After incubation, quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to measure MEFV, PSTPIP1, Siva, and ASC gene expression levels.

Results: MEFV gene expression level was down regulated in colchicine, naproxen, and azathioprine treated cells whereas PSTPIP1 gene expression level was down regulated in naproxen and azathioprine treated cells with LPS. Siva gene expression level was up regulated in all treatments although ASC gene expression level was up regulated in only prednol-L treated cells with LPS.

Conclusion: These anti-inflammatory drugs are known to have different mechanisms of action however they are all used to treat pain or inflammation. Since Pyrin, PSTPIP1, Siva, and ASC have pro and anti-inflammatory roles, the results showing an alteration in gene expression levels with specific drugs may indicate the possible mechanisms of therapeutic action.

Published: October 2023

Background: Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has become an important tool for evaluating cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study evaluated the significance of CACS for future CVD through more than 10 years of follow-up in asymptomatic Korean populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) known to have a relatively low CACS burden.Methods: We enrolled 981 asymptomatic T2DM patients without CVD at baseline who underwent CACS evaluation using multidetector computed tomography between January 2008 and December 2014. They were grouped into five predefined CACS categories based on Agatston scores and followed up by August 2020. The primary endpoint was incident CVD events, including coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease.Results: The relative risk of CVD was significantly higher in patients with CACS ≥10, and the significance persisted after adjustment for known confounders. A higher CACS category indicated a higher incidence of future CVD: hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) 4.09 (1.79 to 9.36), 12.00 (5.61 to 25.69), and 38.79 (16.43 to 91.59) for 10≤ CACS <100, 100≤ CACS <400, and CACS ≥400, respectively. During the 12-year follow-up period, the difference in event-free survival more than doubled as the category increased. Patients with CACS below 10 had very low CVD incidence throughout the follow-up. The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed better area under curve when the CACS cutoff was 10 than 100.Conclusion: CACS can be a sensitive marker of CVD risk. Specifically, CACS above 10 is an indicator of CVD high-risk requiring more intensive medical treatment in Koreans with T2DM.

Published: October 2023

Neste artigo apresentamos reflexões acerca do lugar das pesquisas sobre relações étnico-raciais (ERER) na formação de professores da EJA Campo. O estudo foi realizado através de levantamento no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES no período de 1 a 15 de outubro de 2022. O texto busca compreender o lugar das relações étnico-raciais nas produções sobre formação de professores da EJA Campo, ancorando-se em pressupostos da revisão de literatura, conforme sistematizado por Romanowski e Ens (2006). Entendemos o lugar da formação de professores como central para a mudança de práticas pedagógicas, principalmente as que nos permitam construir experiências em que os professores possam analisar, vivenciar e propor estratégias de intervenção que desconstruam práticas racistas e valorizem a cultura negra. Para o mapeamento das pesquisas, foram utilizados os descritores i) relações étnico-raciais + formação de professores da EJA Campo- no universo de 2.181 trabalhos, não foram encontrados estudos na especificidade da formação de professores da EJA campo; ii) Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais + EJA-21 trabalhos; iii) Educação das relações étnico-raciais + formação de professores da EJA- identificados 4 trabalhos. Constatamos que o lugar das relações étnico-raciais na formação de professores na EJA Campo ainda é escasso e percebemos que no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES não há estudos refletindo acerca das relações étnico-raciais na formação de professores da EJA Campo. Esse fato aponta a relevância do presente trabalho e a urgência da ampliação de estudos e ações formativas que tratem dessa temática, entendendo sua relevância para efetivação de mudanças no cenário da educação racista e colonizadora que predomina na realidade brasileira.

The Feasibility of Detecting Biosignatures in the TRAPPIST-1 Planetary System with JWST
Authors: Meadows Victoria S. , Lincowski Andrew P. , Lustig-Yaeger Jacob
Published: October 2023

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides the first opportunity to detect gases in the atmospheres of M-dwarf terrestrial planets and search for signs of life. Here we determine the detectability of a comprehensive suite of biosignature gases that may have been episodically prevalent across Earth’s history. We used coupled 1D climate–photochemical models to generate synthetic inhabited terrestrial planetary environments for TRAPPIST-1 d and e. These encompass cloudy and/or hazy Archean-Earth-like environments with either a dominant sulfur- or methane-producing biosphere, as well as clear and cloudy modern-Earth-like environments with photosynthetic oxygen-producing biospheres. We generate transmission spectra and assess the likely detectability of different biosignatures with JWST. Our simulations suggest that biogenically generated O2 and its photosynthetic by-product O3 will likely be extremely difficult to detect. We explored the detectability of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) as an alternative indicator for a photosynthetic biosphere but find that it will likely require significantly higher global surface fluxes than Earth’s. We find that the CH4 and CO2 disequilibrium pair is potentially detectable in ∼10 transits for both the methanogen-dominated Archean-like environment and the modern photosynthetic-dominated biosphere—even in cloudy atmospheres. Organic haze and methyl mercaptan are other potential biosignatures for the Archean. Given the likely difficulties in observing an oxygenic-photosynthetic biosphere with JWST, we conclude that the methanogenic biosphere revealed by the combination of outgassed CO2 in the presence of methanogenically generated CH4 may be the most persistent detectable biosignature for an Earth-like planet.
Atmospheric Interactions of Ejecta on Earth and Mars Including the Effect of Vaporization
Authors: Carlson M. A. , Melosh H. J. , Johnson B. C.
Published: October 2023

Atmospheres play an important role in ejecta deposition after an impact event. Many impact experiments and simulations neglect the effect of atmospheres. We simulate ejecta plumes created by craters with transient diameters of 2 and 20 km on Mars and Earth, to show the effect atmospheric density and crater size have on the strength of the interaction. The interaction of ejecta with an atmosphere is explored in this study using a two-fluid hydrocode that simultaneously simulates ejecta and atmospheres as coupled, continuum fields to correctly capture the transfer of mass, energy, and momentum between the two. Here, we study the effect of vaporization of plume material as well as the effect of the bow shock. We find that only the fastest ejecta is vaporized with a peak vaporized mass of 2.5 × 105 kg, 3.5 s after the impact in our 2 km diameter terrestrial crater. Terrestrial meteorites are preferentially formed from the fastest ejecta. However, that fastest ejecta is mostly vaporized in our simulations, so to form a terrestrial meteorite, there must be a sufficiently large impact for solid material to be ejected and not vaporize. Thus, we place a lower limit of 33 km on the size of crater needed to generate terrestrial meteorites, but the crater size needed could be substantially larger. The bow shocks in our simulations result in lofting of ejecta, especially vaporized material, in the wake of the impactor.

Introduction: There is a need to improve knowledge and understanding of the factors associated with mortality from COVID-19 so that managers and decision-makers can implement strategies to mitigate and control the severe forms of the disease. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with deaths from COVID-19 in the state of Maranhão, in northeastern Brazil.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional and analytical study with patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who died from March 2020 to January 2022. Simple and multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the association between clinical-epidemiological characteristics and death. The odds ratios were expressed using a 95% confidence interval and a 5% significance level.
Results: A total of 386,567 cases of COVID-19 were registered in the period, of which 10,986 died. Risk factors associated with deaths from COVID-19 were male sex, age over 30 years, positive reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) result, positive CT scan, and having one or more associated comorbidities. The three comorbidities linked to the highest propensity to die were diabetes mellitus, neurological disease, and obesity.
Conclusions: The study findings support the implementation of strategic actions by health care and surveillance professionals and managers towards reducing the incidence of the risk factors for mortality by COVID-19 in Maranhão.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) induces dysregulated production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, called the cytokine storm, leading to the development of severe pneumonia and ARDS. We aimed to examine the dynamic cytokine response on different days of the disease in adult COVID-19 patients.
Methodology: Our study included 142 patients (with SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive nasopharyngeal samples) with varying disease severity and admitted on different days of the disease. We examined the presence and mean levels of TNF-α and IL-10 and did a correlation and logistic regression analysis.
Results: TNF-α levels were high in all patients, with mean levels being the highest on day 5 of the disease. IL-10 was high only in a quarter of the patients. The levels of IL-10 were also the highest on day 5, which was significantly different from the mean levels on the other days of the disease. Average IL-10 levels were not any higher than the normal range on the other days. We found a significant positive correlation between the levels of TNF-α and IL-10 during the first week of the infection. In the second week, the positive correlation was no longer significant, and starting from day 10, there was even a slight negative correlation. IL-10 level increase showed prognostic significance for severe, but not the critical forms of the disease.
Conclusions: The uncontrolled immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in the second week of the disease can be the result of dysregulated production of endogenous anti-inflammatory cytokines. This leads to a severe disease course and a possible unfavorable outcome.
Stability analysis of new generalized mean-square stochastic fractional differential equations and their applications in technology
Authors: Khan Tahir Ullah , Markarian Christine , Fachkha Claude
Published: October 2023

Stability theory has significant applications in technology, especially in control systems. On the other hand, the newly defined generalized mean-square stochastic fractional (GMSF) operators are particularly interesting in control theory and systems due to their various controllable parameters. Thus, the combined study of stability theory and GMSF operators becomes crucial. In this research work, we construct a new class of GMSF differential equations and provide a rigorous proof of the existence of their solutions. Furthermore, we investigate the stability of these solutions using the generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability criterion. Some examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in solving fractional differential equations (FDEs) and evaluating their stability. The paper concludes by discussing potential applications of the proposed results in technology and outlining avenues for future research.
Adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller for PMSM drive system using modified extended state observer
Authors: Shi Ying , Mei Keqi
Published: October 2023

In this study, a novel adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode (ANTSM) control frame combined with a modified extended state observer (MESO) is presented to enhance the anti-interference performance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system. In the face of time-varying disturbances with unknown upper bounds, traditional nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) controllers typically utilize the large control gain to counteract the total disturbance, which will cause unsatisfactory control performances. To address this tough issue, an ANTSM control technique was constructed for the PMSM system by tuning the control gain automatically without overestimation. On this basis, the MESO was adopted to estimate the unknown total disturbance, whose estimation was offset to the ANTSM control input. By applying finite-time techniques, the estimation error will finite-time converge to zero. The proposed MESO has a more rapid estimation speed than the traditional extended state observer (ESO). Finally, the validity of the ANTSM + ESO composite control algorithm is confirmed by comprehensive experiments.
Rural public space design in China's western regions: Territorial landscape aesthetics and sustainable development from a tourism perspective
Authors: Zhang Wei Di , Liu Jia Chen
Published: October 2023

This paper, set against the backdrop of folk culture and rural landscapes in China's western regions, delves into the pivotal role of territorial landscape aesthetics theory in the design of public spaces in new rural areas. It offers innovative ideas and methodologies for rural spatial planning and design. The concept of the "New Countryside" aims to enhance rural residents' quality of life, propel rural modernization, and foster integrated urban-rural development. Employing the analytic network process (ANP), this study establishes an assessment framework for evaluating folk cultural rural landscapes, encompassing natural, social, and economic dimensions as indicators, and analyzes the weightings between influencing factors. The research findings underscore the significant impact of territorial landscape aesthetics on elevating rural landscapes. Building upon these findings, the paper presents recommendations for the design of public spaces in tourism-oriented rural areas of China's western regions. These recommendations encompass preserving historical relics and traditional dwellings, integrating folk culture into public artistic designs and enhancing rural cultural heritage exhibitions that depict local customs, traditions, and accomplishments. These suggestions are aimed at enhancing the quality and appeal of rural landscapes, thereby fostering the development of local tourism. Through an in-depth exploration of the application of territorial landscape aesthetics, it is hoped that this study can offer valuable guidance and inspiration for the design of public spaces in tourism-focused rural areas of China's western regions, while actively contributing to the preservation and promotion of folk culture.

Authors: Windarsih A. , Bakar N.K.A. , Rohman A. , Riswanto F.D.O. , Erwanto Y.
Published: October 2023

This research aimed to perform a lipidomics study using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) to identify lard, beef tallow and chicken fat. A total of 292, 345, and 403 lipid compounds were observed in lard, beef tallow, and chicken fat, respectively. The lipid groups of AcHexStE (acyl hexosyl stigmasterol ester), biotinylPE (biotinylphosphoetanolamine), LPC (lysophosphatidylcholine), MePC (monoetherphosphatidylcholine), PC (phosphatidylcholine) and PI (phosphoinocitol) were found to be specific for lard. The principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) successfully differentiated lard from beef tallow and chicken fat. This research suggested that the untargeted lipidomics technique using LC-HRMS combined with chemometrics could be used to discriminate lard from beef tallow and chicken fat. This method is a promising technique for the detection of lard adulteration in beef tallow and chicken fat for halal authentication purposes.

Published: October 2023

Botnets are today recognized as one of the most advanced vulnerability threats. Botnets control a huge percentage of network traffic and PCs. They have the ability to remotely control PCs (zombie machines) by their creator (BotMaster) via Command and Control (C&C) framework. They are the keys to a variety of Internet attacks such as spams, DDOS, and spreading malwares. This study proposes a number of machine learning techniques for detecting botnet assaults via IoT networks to help researchers in choosing the suitable ML algorithm for their applications. Using the BoT-IoT dataset, six different machine learning methods were evaluated: REPTree, RandomTree, RandomForest, J48, metaBagging, and Naive Bayes. Several measures, including accuracy, TPR, FPR, and many more, have been used to evaluate the algorithms’ performance. The six algorithms were evaluated using three different testing situations. Scenario-1 tested the algorithms utilizing all of the parameters presented in the BoT-IoT dataset, scenario-2 used the IG feature reduction approach, and scenario-3 used extracted features from the attacker’s received packets. The results revealed that the assessed algorithms performed well in all three cases with slight differences.
Contabilidade sazonal para gerir receitas causadas pela sazonalidade da cheia na Comunidade São Francisco, na Ilha da Costa da Terra Nova-AM: avaliação de impactos
Authors: Silva Antônio Timóteo Printes da
Published: October 2023

As habilidades e adaptabilidades dos ribeirinhos (camponeses) da comunidade de São Francisco na Costa da Ilha de Terra Nova – Careiro da Várzea-Amazonas, ante os eventos sazonais relacionados à vazante/seca e à enchente/cheia na comunidade, desempenham um papel fundamental pois possibilitam que eles, que precisam permanecer em suas propriedades, possam retirar do rio e da floresta o sustento e a renda necessários para sua subsistência. Nossa pesquisa observa como esses ribeirinhos se adaptam às condições sazonais, permitindo que continuem vivendo na região. Uma das estratégias de adaptação adotadas por eles é a construção das residências em locais mais elevados da comunidade, e a uma distância de 1,30 metros do solo, afastadas das margens do rio onde a força da natureza é mais intensa. Dessa forma, eles conseguem estabelecer suas famílias e conviver harmoniosamente com a floresta e o rio. Esses ribeirinhos aprenderam a lidar com as limitações e desafios impostos pelo ambiente, ajustando seus modos de vida para garantir sua subsistência por meio da exploração dos recursos naturais disponíveis na região. Nossa pesquisa também analisou a geração de receita resultante da utilização desses recursos naturais, através de entrevistas e preenchimento de formulários. Constatamos que as práticas de uso dos recursos são baseadas no trabalho em família, sendo os próprios ribeirinhos responsáveis pela gestão dos sistemas produtivos. Um resultado significativo de nossa pesquisa revela que há um aumento de 32,50% da receita bruta durante o período de cheia, em comparação com outros momentos do ano.

Authors: Lima Carollina Carvalho Ramos de
Published: October 2023

Neste artigo, investigo a materialidade da edição brasileira do Methodo Zaba (1870), de autoria do polonês Napoleão Félix Zaba (1803-1885), buscando desvelar relações com práticas escolares observáveis nos registros produzidos, em 1871, por dois professores do ensino público baiano: José Lourenço Ferreira Cajaty e João Theodoro Araponga. Para tanto, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e entendendo o impresso como objeto cultural complexo (Chartier, 1991, 1998) e produto da indústria escolar (Meda, 2015), no texto, apresento as caraterísticas formais e o conteúdo do material didático e, depois, exploro a materialidade do método à luz do fazer docente e da cultura escolar, reconhecendo possíveis usos e apropriações nos relatos de Cajaty e Araponga, com o intuito de demonstrar que conhecimentos e métodos de ensino são reelaborados e reinventados por meio das experiências e práticas pedagógicas (Schueler, 2005), bem como se revelam nas interações dos indivíduos com o mundo em sua forma material (Vidal, 2006).

Diabetes is a chronic disease. Some complications can be prevented, their effects can be slowed down.  Sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of obesity and consequently the predisposition to diabetes II. The article aimed to demonstrate the positive and negative effects of exercise on active and sedentary diabetics and on pathophysiology, evaluating the effects after 3 and 6 months. The study involved 90 participants, both male and female, with type II diabetes, aged 45, divided into two groups: Group A (n=50, sedentary) and Group B (n=40, active). We evaluated anthropometric parameters, blood chemistry values, which are fundamental for the transversal evaluation of the results. In group A improvements were less noticeable than group B. The most improved parameter is blood sugar, Glycemic values and BMI. Cholesterol and Hb1Ac decreased but more slowly than previous parameters. The expectations of the study were, not only in recognizing the therapeutic and preventive powers of exercise, but above all in choosing to program a motor protocol after a team work between diabetologist, sports doctor and kinesiologist and/ or personal trainer. Physical activity is an additional therapy to insulin.
Does satisfaction with the manual wheelchair have an impact on the quality of life in spinal cord injury?
Authors: Mehmood Beenish
Published: October 2023

Background: Customised wheelchairs are integral component for comprehensive rehabilitation and community integration for spinal cord injury (SCI) survivors, while inappropriate wheelchairs negatively impact their functional independence, mobility and quality of life (QOL). Keeping this in mind, this study aimed to determine the effects of manual wheelchair users' satisfaction on QOL in SCI.

Methods: This cross-sectional study, which included 112 SCI, was conducted at the Paraplegic Centre, Hayatabad, Peshawar, over a period of 6 months using "Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST)" and “World Health Organisation Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF)” as study tools.

Results: QUEST showed a significant positive correlation with physical health (rs = 0.375; p< 0.001), social relationships (rs=0.234; p = 0.013), and environmental health (rs = 0.462; p<0.001) of QOL except psychological health, and similarly, overall health and overall QOL was positively impacted.  Furthermore, overall health and environmental, social relationships, and physical domains of QOL were statistically significantly impacted by the QUEST device and service aspects.

Conclusion: A moderate level of satisfaction among participants for both devices and services was observed, which also impacts their physical, environmental, and social domains of QOL. Therefore, steps from the key stakeholders are required to provide satisfactory appropriate wheelchairs to patients so their QOL can be improved.

Norovirus (NOV) and hepatitis A virus (HAV) are human enteric viruses of major concern worldwide. Salad vegetables and molluscan shellfish are highly susceptible to contamination by NOV and HAV and can pose a health threat when consumed raw. The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of NOV and HAV in lettuce, watercress, tomatoes, and oysters using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and assess the health risks associated with consumption of these commodities by semi-quantitative risk assessment. The occurrence of NOV in vegetables ranked in the following decreasing order: lettuce (36%) > watercress (16%) > tomatoes (4%). However, HAV was more frequently detected in watercress (56%), compared to lettuce or tomatoes (12%). Additionally, NOV was detected in oysters (60%). The risk assessment exercise pointed to a medium-risk score of contracting a foodborne illness of viral origin for consumers eating fresh watercress or oysters. Future research will ascertain the presence of these enteric viruses in a broader range of food commodities.
Non-Deterministic Functions as Non-Deterministic Processes (Extended Version)

Published: October 2023

We study encodings of the lambda-calculus into the pi-calculus in the
unexplored case of calculi with non-determinism and failures. On the sequential
side, we consider lambdafail, a new non-deterministic calculus in which
intersection types control resources (terms); on the concurrent side, we
consider spi, a pi-calculus in which non-determinism and failure rest upon a
Curry-Howard correspondence between linear logic and session types. We present
a typed encoding of lambdafail into spi and establish its correctness. Our
encoding precisely explains the interplay of non-deterministic and fail-prone
evaluation in lambdafail via typed processes in spi. In particular, it shows
how failures in sequential evaluation (absence/excess of resources) can be
neatly codified as interaction protocols.
A Systematic Literature Review of Social Media Usage among People with Intellectual Disability
Authors: Jacob Udeme Samuel , Pillay Jace
Published: October 2023

Many people are still excluded from participating in the digital world because of their intellectual disabilities. Participation in the digital world is, however, essential to meaningful contributions to society. This systematic literature review examined 13 articles published between 2015 and 2023 about social media usage among persons with intellectual disability. A combination of keywords and terms was used to search PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Cochrane, and Medline databases. According to a thematic analysis of the included studies, the following themes emerged: usage, inclusion, risk and benefit, and training support. Based on these themes, we found that some people with intellectual disability used social media positively for social interactions. This is one of the best things about the Internet. People with intellectual disability need support to engage in social interactions through social media effectively.

Objetivo: Analisar a inserção do ensino de jiu-jitsu (JJ) no conteúdo lutas da Educação Física escolar (EFE) do ensino fundamental I do município de Tucuruí-PA. Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva de corte transversal realizada com 24 professores de Educação Física da rede municipal, com média de idade de 35,2±7,5 anos, que responderam questionário sobre lutas e a inserção do JJ em suas aulas. Resultados: 100% dos participantes eram licenciados em Educação Física; 91,7% afirmaram utilizar o conteúdo lutas em suas aulas; 96% utilizam as lutas através de práticas recreativas e lúdicas; 87,5% elegeram outras lutas, como a capoeira, judô e luta marajoara, ideais para se trabalhar em escolas; 83,3% não conheciam o JJ; 70,8% não abordam o JJ em suas aulas; e 95,8% demonstraram interesse em participar de uma oficina voltada para o ensino-aprendizado do JJ. Conclusão: A maior parte dos professores entrevistados do ensino fundamental I do município de Tucuruí-PA utiliza o conteúdo lutas em suas aulas de forma recreativa, mas não o JJ, devendo-se ao fato da ausência do conhecimento teórico-prático. Entretanto, a maioria dos entrevistados demonstraram interessem em participar de uma oficina baseada em uma proposta pedagógica para a inserção do ensino do JJ nas aulas de EFE, reforçando a necessidade da capacitação do profissional como o principal agente transformador dessa realidade.

Analysis of the Comparison Between Noise Levels and Vehicle Volume on the Section of Jalan Pahlawan Sidoarjo to Jalan Raya Legundi Krian
Authors: Hanan Rifqi , Hendrata Wibisana
Published: October 2023

Analysis of the comparison of noise levels with vehicle volume levels on Jl. Pahlawan Sidoarjo to Jl. Raya Legundi Krian. Kali Porong is used as a mud sewer for Lapindo to prevent damage to the mud retaining embankment. Lapindo's continuous mud disposal causes sedimentation in Porong River. The mud does not settle much along the river, but settles in the estuary of Kali Porong in the Madura Strait due to the flow of Lapindo mud and sediment transport from Kali Porong to the estuary and along the coast. This study suggests using Landsat 8 satellite images with the H. Wibisana (2021) algorithm to calculate Total Suspended Solid (TSS) levels. The results showed that the algorithm had a better correlation coefficient in 2018 (49.72%) and 2019 (69.065%). In 2020 and 2022, the Guzman-Santella (2009) algorithm gave the best results with correlation coefficients of 84.297% and 64.18%, respectively. In 2023, Ety Parvati's (2014) algorithm has a correlation coefficient of 79.18%. This research can be a reference for future research and help map the distribution of TSS and monitor changes in TSS. This will provide appropriate solutions in decision-making related to environmental impacts and development around the area.
