O advento da filosofia psicológica de Tetens na Dedução transcendental das categorias de Kant de 1781: pressuposto à concepção de sua interpretação psicológica
Authors: Oliveira André Renato de
Published: September 2023

Ao tomarmos contato com a filosofia de Tetens (Versuche 1777), e observando, em paralelo, a Dedução transcendental das categorias, de Kant, na primeira edição da Crítica (1781), notamos certas semelhanças conceituais entre os filósofos. Partindo dessa similaridade, propomos demonstrar sua apropriação e como tais elementos oriundos da filosofia de Tetens (1777), com destaque às funções da faculdade da imaginação, se tornaram o fundamento de critérios interpretativos que sustentariam uma interpretação psicológica da Dedução de 1781.
Clinical psychology and human rights: A call to action
Authors: Kinderman Peter
Published: September 2023

This special edition of the Clinical Psychology Forum dedicated to clinical psychology and human rights highlights the essential role of clinical psychologists in promoting human rights, justice, and equity. Formal, legal, declarations of human rights can be seen as formalized systems for ensuring that people’s basic needs are satisfied. For psychologists, they are codifications of how we collectively understand our relationships and social obligations. We are called to action—to utilize our expertise, privilege, and power to effect positive change. Albert Camus said that “psychology is action, not just thinking about yourself”. Psychologists should positively advocate for the application of psychological science to these issues. The British Psychological Society and Association of Clinical Psychologists, as the leading professional bodies, can enhance our public impact by issuing public statements and engaging in advocacy that addresses the intersection of clinical psychology, human rights, and political issues.

Health Literacy of Candidates Undergoing or Submitted to Kidney Transplantation: An Integrative Literature Review
Authors: Montelo Marcos Paulo Marinho , Teixeira Jules Brito , Martins Karine Anusca , Pereira Edna Regina Silva
Published: September 2023

Objective: To describe the repercussions of health literacy (HL) in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) candidates for or undergoing kidney transplantation (TxR). Methodology: Integrative review, carried out with the systematic selection of articles in the PubMed, Portal BVS and SciELO databases in August 2021. 62 articles were identified, of which 17 were selected for synthesis. Results: Most of the analyzed studies developed an observational or qualitative design. The limited HL has several impacts on patients’ decision-making processes, resulting in the postponement of insertion on the waiting list for TxR, refusal to perform this therapy and, in some situations, the death of the patient. Adequate HL is protective in several aspects of CKD patients’ lives, especially in the psycho-emotional and cognitive domains. Educational strategies, provided in the form of routine recommendations in dialysis centers or in addition to them, are essential for increasing HL. Conclusion: Patients who were candidates for or submitted to TxR had a high prevalence of limited HL, negatively impacting decision-making processes. Complementarily, the appropriate HL is recognized as essential for the conscious and shared decision-making process of the patient, as it empowers and enables the development of self-management in health.
PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN WISATAWAN DIMENSI BUDAYA UNCERTAINTY AVOIDANCE
Authors: Mahardika I Made Ngurah Oka
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this article is to analyze the decision-making process of tourists when visiting culturally-based tourism objects. The approach chosen is to use a literature review. When choosing a destination, tourists are strongly influenced by Hofstede's cultural aspects. Cultural dimensions consist of power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation. To avoid uncertainty, tourists tend to choose cultural destinations where they feel safe, comfortable and risk-free. Moreover, the motivations of tourists to decide to visit a tourist destination are strongly influenced by push and pull factors.

Published: September 2023

Wisatawan mancanegara (wisman) asal Australia merupakan salah satu pasar utama wisman Bali. Pembatasan kunjungan selama pandemi covid-19 menyebabkan kunjangan wisman secara umum turun drastis termasuk wisman Australia ke Bali. Artikel ini kan membahas bagaimana peluang wisman Australia ke Bali berdasarkan tren kunjungan dalam tiga dekade terakhir serta bagaimana tantangannya di masa yang akan datang melalui pendekatan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif. Ditemukan bahwa, secara historis, wisman Australia mendominasi kunjungan wisman ke Bali dengan kontribusi hampir 20 persen dan pertumbuhan rata – rata 14 persen per tahunnya. Pasca pandemi yang ditandai dengan dibukanya penerbangan langsung dari Bali ke Kota – kota di Australia, tanda pemulihan kunjungan wisman Australia sudah terlihat yaitu kembalinya dominasi wisman Australia yang bahkan meningkat mendekati 30 persen terhadap total kunjungan wisman ke Bali. Namun demikian, pemulihan ini berpotensi terhambat mengingat situasi ekonomi global yang tidak menentu, termasuk situasi perekonomian Australia yang diprediksi stagnan dalam lima tahun ke depan. Isu – isu klasik seperti isu keamanan/terorisme, kesehatan (terutama terkait pandemi), bencana alam, lingkungan, dan politik juga dapat menjadi penghambat pemulihan kunjungan wisman Australia ke Bali apabila tidak tertangani. Diperlukan kerjasama antar stakeholder terkait guna mendukung pemulihan ini baik itu pemerintah, industri, asosiasi, dan masyarakat sendiri guna menciptakan situasi yang kondusif agar pemulihan pariwisata Bali dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Characterization of Blo t 11 monoclonal antibodies with constant region mutations
Authors: Ramos John Donnie , Cheong Nge , Chua Kaw Yan
Published: September 2023

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) is a hallmark of antibody-secreting B cells used to produce mature and high affinity antibodies. SHM takes place in the variable region and within the 1.5 kb downstream region of the immunoglobulin (Ig) gene promoter but no mutations have been thus far reported in the constant region. This study reports the characterization of DNA immunization-generated hybridoma clones secreting functional and Blo t 11-specific monoclonal antibodies but with mutations on the constant region of the Ig gene. The nucleotide sequence of the constant region of the Ig gene of four mutant hybridoma clones secreting Blo t 11-specific monoclonal antibodies that are total Ig-positive was characterized. The antibodies had no detectable isotype/subclass by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A series of transition, transversion, deletion and insertion mutations were detected on exons 3 and 4 but not on exons 1 and 2 of the Ig gene. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) transcripts were observed in all mutant hybridomas examined. Sequence analysis showed that 7 and 9 of the observed mutations in clones P1C9 and P1A6, respectively, were located on RGYW and WRCY hotspots where AID have been reported to occur at high frequencies. The results presented in this study may represent a novel observation related to Ig gene SHM and maturation that may be associated with DNA immunization.

Published: September 2023

The world's most popular stimulant, caffeine, accounts for 80% of all caffeine consumption. It is widely used as a component in pharmaceuticals due to its high antioxidant and nutrient content, including phenol and polyphenol. On the presence of caffeine drinks are categorised as caffeinated and decaffeinated. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on blood pressure among the young generation. This experimental study was conducted on 85 healthy individuals (both male and female, non hypertensive) between 18-28 years of age. Blood Pressure (BP) was measured by an automatic digital blood pressure monitor, before and after taking of coffee in 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Each participant ingested 100 mL of coffee prepared from 50 mg of caffeinated coffee in water. The consumption time of each individual was between 2- 4 minutes. It was noticed almost 65.7% participants were found normal while, a significant difference in 34.3% found in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) after the intake of caffeinated coffee at p-value (<0.001).An increase of4.4 mmHg and 5.02 mmHg was found in systolic blood pressure after 60, 90 minutes respectively from the normal that is <20mm Hg. While, a slight increase was noticed in DBP after taking caffeinated coffee. No significant difference were seen after the congestion of decaffeinated coffee among participants. It was concluded by the study that individual responses can vary. There was increase in BP after taking caffeinated coffee. There was no significant effect found after decaffeinated coffee. Some people might be more sensitive to caffeine and feel its effects more strongly, while others might not notice much difference. Additionally, any effects from this small amount of coffee are likely to wear off relatively quickly, within a few hours at most.

Published: September 2023

SARS-CoV-2 has given rise to several variants such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron are the major but not all COVID strains (variants) currently creating concern. The strains avoid antibodies response because of change in structure (mutations in genome) and thus cause disease. The most prevalent and infectious variant identified so far is Delta variant. The spike protein's structural alterations, which make it quick and fit, cause the greater occurrence. The Delta Plus variant was recently found as a variant of the Delta. Furthermore, twin variants of the Delta Plus variant are making their way around the world. Inactivated vaccines (59%), viral vectors (67.74%), and mRNA-based vaccines (77.74%) were found to be efficacious against diseases caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Currently, Community immunization is an efficient strategy to stop COVID- 19; if not, it may persist for a long time and continue to wreak havoc on humanity

A DIALÉTICA NEGATIVA E A EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: De Jesus Osvaldo Freitas
Published: September 2023

Na tradição filosófica, a dialética representava o próprio processo do pensamento, qual seja, o argumento A (tese) produz seu contra-argumento B (antítese) e desses dois poderia surgir um argumento modificado C (síntese). Neste sentido, pensar é argumentar dialeticamente, pois os objetos e os fatos do mundo dão-se a conhecer de maneira progressiva e contínua. Entretanto, para Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, um dos sustentáculos da Teoria Crítica, a dialética não desagua naturalmente na síntese. Pelo contrário, a dialética emperra sempre na antítese. Ela é negativa, porque encalha no segundo movimento. A antítese permeia a dialética. Os processos sociais esbarram sempre na dissonância cognitiva, ou seja, nas diferenças. Por essa razão, a dialética negativa conquistou significativo espaço na Teoria Crítica, inclusive na educação. A dialética negativa auxilia na explicação do fracasso do Plano Nacional de Educação, pois ele não é uma política-síntese para a educação básica, mas sim uma política-antítese, à medida que propõe um feixe de intenções antitéticas de realizações, sem dispor das condições necessárias para realizá-las.

Estudos têm discutido a importância da Educação Ambiental para problematizar as relações e conflitos socioambientais, mobilizando uma percepção ecológica, ação reflexiva e sensibilização ambiental. Neste contexto, compreender a dos sujeitos que a promovem a Educacão Ambietal crítica da Educação Profissional é relevante. O objetivo deste artigo foi discutir a Educação Ambiental crítica, pelo olhar da formação politécnica e socioambiental, e as trilhas interpretativas no contexto da  interdisciplinaridade. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados na investigação incluíram pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados apontam que a Educação Profossional e Tecnólogica (EPT) é de extrema importância para o cumprimento das demandas profissionais das cidades e estados onde estão instalados. Locais de ensino que possuem uma riqueza ecológica ao seu redor facilitam o aprendizado, pois através do contato direto com a natureza, cria-se um laboratório natural para a educação ambiental. Sendo uma área interdisciplinar, a Trilha Interpretativa é multifacetada e pode ser trabalhada em diversas disciplinas em contexto educacional formal ou não formal. Verifica-se que compreender os processos relacionados a educação ambiental defendida na Educação profissional pode contribuir para uma formação de educadores ambientais mais significativa e promotora de mudanças, pois sabemos que a educação ambiental crítica é capaz de promover uma reflexão e a partir disso, o educando olha e analisa a sua realidade socioambiental, e a partir da sua realidade, questiona o que está posto, e com isso, é capaz de transformá-la.

O descarte de medicamentos constitui temática em contínua evolução em aspectos educativos ambientais, em especial pelas consequências negativas já conhecidas a partir da disposição deste tipo de resíduo em lixo comum ou em rede de esgoto. O presente artigo origina-se de projeto de extensão que trabalha com educação ambiental e saúde, no foco medicamentos vencidos e em desuso e a importância do seu descarte correto, junto ao ambiente escolar de ensino médio no município de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. A partir da troca de experiências mediada pela apresentação e discussão de material educativo, 209 alunos do ensino médio, com idade entre 15 e 19 anos, no período de outubro de 2018 a janeiro de 2020, participaram de pesquisa transversal descritiva. O objetivo foi avaliar os conhecimentos prévios dos alunos sobre o descarte correto de medicamentos vencidos e em desuso (sobras), por meio da aplicação de questionário. Pela análise descritiva dos dados coletados observou-se que 82% dos alunos descartam de forma inadequada os medicamentos vencidos e suas sobras, sendo que 49% descartam em lixo seco, 24% em lixo orgânico, 6% em vaso sanitário e 3% em pia. Daqueles que descartam de modo correto (18%), 9% dos alunos devolvem os medicamentos à farmácia e outros 9% às Unidades de Saúde. Em relação ao quantitativo reduzido de ações corretas de descarte, torna-se imperativo ações de educação ambiental que levem à conscientização da problemática que o descarte irregular pode gerar, bem como à transformação deste cenário. O estudo mostrou a necessidade de estratégias para melhoria no âmbito do conhecimento sobre descarte correto de medicamentos, em especial junto ao público jovem, que pode disseminar a importância desta ação, em prol do meio ambiente e da sociedade.

Performance and Emission Characterstics of Diesel Engine Using Milk Waste Water Bio-diesel
Authors: Arunkumar Munimathan , Mohanavel V.
Published: September 2023

Due to increased usage of petroleum products, fossil fuels are getting exhausted. After discussions, scientists came to a conclusion that there should be an alternative fuel source which can be used instead of diesel. Through this experiment, the authors are going to investigate the possibilities of using milk waste water bio-diesel as an alternative source. The milk waste water methyl ester blends are added with fuels at ratio of 10% and 20% and a turbo charged diesel engine is used to test it. The engine is running under steady condition. The concentration of nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), total particulate matter (PM) and unburned hydro carbon are mainly observed in this experiment. From the recorded results, it is concluded that the milk waste water methyl ester (MWME) did not encounter with the engine thermal efficiency when comparing with the diesel engine. The outcomes of MWME upon CO and HC emissions were depended upon the load given to the engine. This resulted in poor breakup and evaporation properties. While comparing with soya bean bio-diesel, the milk waste water bio fuel emitted less NOx. A same test with milk waste water with milk waste water and soya bean fuel was done with high and low load conditions to absorb the particulate matter emissions. The results exposed that at lower load conditions, the level of PM emission was very high for milk waste water bio-diesel blend when comparing with soyabean blends and the fossil diesel.

Benefits of Prenatal Enrollment in Early Head Start on Successful Smoking Cessation
Authors: Shenberger Elyse , Zinsser Katherine
Published: September 2023

Despite known negative health effects, many women continue smoke during pregnancy, and many do not access available cessations supports. In a population of low-income mothers with children enrolled in Early Head Start (EHS) we explored which demographic, smoking behavior, and treatment access characteristics were associated with being referred for smoking cessation services. Findings highlighted equity among referrals, consistent with EHS’s anti-racist foundation. We found mothers only reporting smoking history were missed compared to mothers who reported current smoking behaviors, which presents an important opportunity for prevention work, given relapse rates. Finally, we found when EHS knows about a pregnancy, either from early referral to EHS or from other children receiving services, the referral mechanism is most successful. Implications for EHS include an emphasis on recruiting earlier in gestation.
Effects of an Online Emotion Socialization Intervention for Parents of At-Risk Preschoolers Enrolled in Head Start During a Global Pandemic
Authors: Williams Briana , Carlson John
Published: September 2023

Children from low-income families experience greater developmental risk factors, suggesting the need for evidence-based social-emotional interventions to support children and their families. This study explored the engagement, effectiveness, and acceptability of an unstudied online version of an evidence-based emotion-focused intervention – Tuning in to Kids Online (TIKOL). This pilot study within a small Head Start sample demonstrated that parents watched, on average, 97% of the ten modules across the program duration, and all reported using “quite a few” of the parenting skills taught. Outcome data revealed significant improvements in employing an emotion coaching parenting style. Distressing reactions and parent-reported child conduct problems both decreased. There were no significant reductions in emotion dismissing beliefs. High levels of treatment acceptability were reported. Treatment engagement, effectiveness, and acceptability findings from this pilot TIKOL intervention study support the need to study this accessible, online version of a well-supported parenting program approach.
A Longitudinal Study of Behavioral Consultation in Inclusive Preschool Classrooms
Authors: Kunze Megan , De la Cruz Berenice
Published: September 2023

Teachers in early childhood classrooms face a diverse child population, including children with developmental delays and differences (DD), requiring teachers to exhibit professional skills to address a broad spectrum of developmental needs. At times, early learners with and without DD exhibit challenging behaviors (e.g., aggression, tantrums). Nevertheless, teachers find themselves ill-prepared to manage such behavior and teach under these circumstances due to limited training in classroom behavior management. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an effective treatment for children with various developmental differences and has proven successful in classroom settings when applied. This report describes a behavior consultation model used in a four-year project in 44 early childhood classrooms with 196 teachers and 97 children identified as having developmental delays and challenging behavior. Recommendations for choosing a behavior consultant for similar settings and a discussion of recurring behavior strategies recommended are presented.
Benefits of Engaging Head Start Parents in Emotion Socialization Practices
Authors: Williams Briana , Carlson John
Published: September 2023

Developing social-emotional skills can improve children's happiness, experiences, and ability to establish positive relationships. Children from low-income families experience higher risk factors than their middle- and upper-class counterparts. Hence, fostering these skills early at home and in the classroom is essential. Past research demonstrates various interventions to reduce problem behaviors and improve emotional socialization in children, as well as the impact of educating parents on effective emotion socialization practices. Tuning in to Kids Online (TIKOL) is an emotion socialization parenting program aiming to support parents' understanding of children's social-emotional development and employ an emotion coaching style to help children understand, label, and regulate their emotions. This study examined the engagement, effectiveness, and acceptability of TIKOL in a small sample of Head Start parents. Findings support the use of TIKOL to improve parents' emotion coaching practices, reduce parents' distressing reactions to children's behavior, and reduce parent-reported child conduct problems.

Authors: Macy Marisa , Reid Mark , Macy Robert
Published: September 2023

This study investigated the interrater agreement between parents of young children and the early childhood professionals working with their family as they transition from preschool to kindergarten. The goal of this research is to identify clusters of greatest congruence and divergence. We examined clusters of agreement between 24 parent and educator dyads from  rural Head Start programs in the Midwest.

Authenticity of Assessment in Inclusive Spaces
Authors: Macy Marisa
Published: September 2023

Barriers related to assessment may prevent high quality transition practices from occurring. Traditionally, assessment of young children involves table top testing where an assessor asks a child to perform standardized tasks that are often lacking developmental appropriateness with unfamiliar materials, in unfamiliar environments like a sterile clinical setting, and/or with people who are unfamiliar to the child. True skills may not be observed under such conditions as a traditional assessment. Alternatively, professionals today across multiple sectors use authentic assessment to measure child outcomes that can be used to better understand children’s development and learning during the transition from preschool to kindergarten process. Authentic “real-life” assessments measure skills that are functional rather than contrived, discrete tasks. This research-to-practice article shares practical application for authentic assessment leading to high quality transitions for children and families from preschool to kindergarten.

The term “kindergarten readiness” lacks a formal definition. The need for a single, widely accepted definition for this term is necessary for teachers and educational leaders to prepare children and their families for the start of formal education.  This study was conducted to understand the perceptions of preschool and kindergarten teachers concerning typically developing students on day 60 of kindergarten in the state of North Carolina. Focus groups were used to determine particular skills that a kindergartener should exhibit by that point in school in order to be successful during that year. Both groups of teachers were knowledgeable about the developmental continuum kindergartners should follow in order to achieve needed skills according to the North Carolina Early Learning Inventory. A second finding was that kindergarten teachers scored students lower than preschool teachers on the anticipated ability of their students to achieve a skill. All teachers considered some skills were introduced in the inventory prematurely. Participants within this study perceived school readiness as skills that students should exhibit on day 60 of kindergarten that would allow for them to have a successful kindergarten year. Some skills that would be typical on day 60 of kindergarten are that students are: able to control their emotions and understand the emotions of others, understand how to behave in familiar environments when routines and procedures do not change, and are able to discriminate the sound that an alliteration and rhyme make but may not be able to explain the reason for the alliteration or rhyme.
Effect of the Ferrocene Nucleus on the Microwave-Accelerated Esterification Reaction
Authors: Okada Yutaka , Tachi Masashi
Published: September 2023

Microwave irradiation has been utilized in the syntheses of a wide variety of organic compounds due to its shorter reaction times and improved selectivities. Since ferrocene is an organometallic compound consisting of an iron center sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl rings, the iron moiety was expected to efficiently absorb microwave irradiation, thereby resulting in the ferrocene molecules exhibiting an antenna effect. Thus, we herein confirmed this antenna effect by employing an esterification reaction as a model reaction, using both ferrocene and benzene derivatives under microwave irradiation and conventional heating conditions for comparison purposes. It was also found that the reaction could be carried out at lower temperature using ferrocene derivatives.

Published: September 2023

This study focused on the professional development needs
of Cooperative Extension agents and specialists with between four and seven years of
experience, placing them roughly within the colleague career stage. Data were collected
through focus groups and validated through member checking and the use of a modified
World Café approach. A research team collaborated, increasing the reliability of the
findings through intentional reflection in the development of the findings. Areas of
competency strength and weakness vary for agents and specialists, and specific topic
areas within competencies vary. While many of the emergent competencies identified in
this study fit within the competency framework of Harder et al. (2011) and previous
competency studies, more specific topic areas were identified. However, the top
priorities identified for professional development focus included communication,
educational design, leadership, and budget and fiscal management. Attention to these
areas can increase the ability of these professionals to work more effectively and
productively. Providing professional development in areas of need for both agents and
specialists can support the development of collegiality within the Extension
organization. Supporting professionals in this stage of their career growth will
position them well for advancing to additional career stages within Cooperative
Extension.

Published: September 2023

La valoración de la experiencia del estudiante en la escuela a través de sus juicios cognitivos y sus afectos, o su percepción sobre su funcionamiento positivo y sus relaciones con otros influyen en su bienestar escolar. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer los aspectos que producen bienestar escolar al alumnado. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico para indagar en la experiencia de 302 estudiantes de Educación Primaria que respondieron al Cuestionario Abierto de Bienestar Escolar (CABES). La información se analizó inductivamente mediante un proceso cíclico obteniendo cuatro categorías: proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, espacios y tiempos escolares, relaciones y emociones. Destacó la relevancia otorgada a las relaciones entre iguales y con el profesorado, la demanda de mejoras en la enseñanza (aprendizaje cooperativo, basado en el juego), la gestión del tiempo (de estudio, libre) y el acondicionamiento del centro y del aula. Primaron las emociones positivas frente a las negativas, sobre todo la felicidad y la alegría, aunque también aparecieron frecuentemente aburrimiento y tristeza. Este estudio contribuirá a construir un instrumento para medir el bienestar escolar a partir de las categorías y de los códigos basados en la valoración cognitiva y afectiva de las experiencias del alumnado durante su jornada escolar.
