Association of perinephric fat stranding with CT severity scores and mortality in COVID-19 patients
Authors: Akman Burcu , Kaya Ahmet Turan
Published: July 2023

Aims: To investigate the relationship between the presence of perinephric fat stranding (PFS) with three consecutive chest CT severity scores (CT-SS), mortality and intensive care unit admission in COVID-19 patients.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study, included 457 (?18 years) COVID-19 patients with positive RT-PCR tests. A radiologist calculated three consecutive CT-SS for COVID-19 pneumonia using a visual scoring system ranging from 0 to 25 points. Grades of PFS on CTs were defined as none, mild, moderate or severe. Firstly, patients were divided into two groups, with and without PFS. The Association of PFS with demographic and laboratory data, CT-SS, and mortality rates were analyzed. We divided patients into four subgroups based on PFS grading and investigated temporal changes of mean CT-SS of three consecutive CTs in each PFS subgroup using a paired-sample test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: Patients with PFS were associated with older age (p<0.001) and had higher CT-SS (p=0.03). We found a particularly strong association between PFS and mortality (p<0.001) and intensive care unit admission (p=0.001). Statistical associations were found between PFS and elevated serum BUN (p=0.004), creatinine (p=0.007), CRP (p=0.02), and ferritin (p=0.005). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, older age was associated with 1.067-fold (p<=0.001), PFS 1.964-fold (p=0.007), elevated serum creatinine 3.630-fold (p=0.005) higher risks of mortality. In PFS subgroups other than severe, there were significant increases between the first and second CT-SS (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.003).
Conclusion: Perinephric fat stranding is an important CT finding that can alert clinicians to the poor prognosis of COVID-19 patients in early periods.

Authors: Çelik Şimşek , Kukul Güven Fatma Mutlu , Korkmaz İlhan
Published: July 2023

Aims: Syncope is defined as a temporary loss of consciousness in any disorder characterized by a self-limited loss of
consciousness, whatever the mechanism. It constitutes 3% of emergency service applications. NT-proBNP, D-dimer and lipids are important parameters in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of patients with syncope. This study aims to determine the levels of these biomarkers during and after treatment in patients admitted to the emergency department(ED) due to syncope.
Methods: Forty-nine patients admitted to the emergency department due to syncope were included in this study. Forty-nine age- and sex-matched individuals without a history of syncope were taken as the control group. Blood samples were taken from the patient group three times, at the time of admission to the emergency department, 24 hours after admission, and on the day they were discharged from the hospital, and only once from the control group. The patient and control groups were compared in terms of NT-proBNP, D-dimer and lipids.
Results: The mean HDL level at discharge was 33.63±9.62 mg/dl, which was significantly lower than the mean HDL level in the control group (38.77±10.33 mg/dl) (t=2.14, p=0.012). Although the mean LDL levels at discharge (108.02±48.03 mg/dl) were higher than the control group (92.53±37.39 mg/dl), this increase was not statistically significant (t=1.78, p=0.078). However, the mean LDL levels during hospitalization and after 24 hours (126.08±51.88 mg/dl, 116.26±48.21 mg/dl, respectively) compared to the control group (92.53±7.39 mg/dl) were statistically significantly higher (t=3.67, p=0.001, t=2.73, p=0.008). NT proBNP and D-dimer median values at the time of admission to the emergency department (844.00 pg/ml, 616.50 mcg/L, respectively), after 24 hours (1985.00 pg/ml, 662.00 mcg/L, respectively) and at discharge (748.00 pg/ml, 702.50 mcg/L respectively) compared to the control group (85.00 pg/ml, 176.00 mcg/L, respectively), a statistically significant increase was detected (p=0.001).
Conclusion: In the patients admitted to the ED with a diagnosis of syncope, early treatment can be achieved getting the
differential diagnosis of syncope in a short time with NT-proBNP, D-dimer and lipid blood levels that can be worked easily. In addition, the need for serious interventional procedures and further investigations in the diagnostic process will be reduced.
Influence of school resources on boy child dropout rate in public secondary schools in Chepalungu Sub-County, Bomet County, Kenya
Authors: Korir Andrew Kibet , Kiptum Charles
Published: July 2023

This research work aimed to look into problems faced by boy children in secondary schools. Despite the overwhelming strategies and involvement by the government of Kenya to limit the successive dropout rate in public secondary schools, the rising figure of boy children failing to complete the offered secondary school cycle is intensifying at an alarming rate. The specific objective of this exploration sought to look into the influence of school resources on the boy child dropout rate in public secondary schools in Chepalungu Sub County. This study was guided by the system theory advanced by Bertalanffy (1968). The descriptive survey research design was anchored in the research work. Exploration was carried out in the Chepalungu sub-county, Kenya. The target population consisted of 78 principals of secondary schools in the Chepalungu sub-county, 280 class teachers, 7020 from four boy students and 55 purposely chosen dropout boys. The researcher used 10 per cent of the sample size, representing 8 principals, 28 class teachers, 702 students and 5 dropouts. Data was coded using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and analysed using descriptive statistics. The study findings found that lack of enough school resources and families with scanty income makes it difficult to enhance boy child retention. The exploration advocated establishing programs that would abet and aid teachers, parents and the Board of Management in promoting the education of a boy child in the Chepalungu sub-County.

We performed a five-year (2015–2020) survey of juvenile natural Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), adult salmon carcasses, and river water from the lower Feather River to determine infection prevalence, distribution, and spore quantity of the myxozoan parasite Ceratonova shasta. Average prevalence of infection in juvenile salmon collected from the high flow channel ranged from 45–58% depending on assay method. Initial infection of fry and detection of actinospore stage in river water began in late January or early February. Overt disease occurred in March and was lethal. Infection of the gill was detected weeks ahead of intestinal infection. Water-borne spore measurement and fish infection demonstrate an infectious zone beginning at the outlet of the Thermalito Afterbay. This zone is expanding downriver past the confluence of the Yuba River. Adult carcasses produce billions of myxospores annually that move downriver over the winter. C. shasta infection is one of several factors (predation, limited rearing habitat, elevated water temperature, water withdrawal, etc.) limiting natural Chinook Salmon recruitment in the Feather River.
Systemic therapy use for the treatment of meningioma: A systematic review
Authors: Taleb Khalid , Brown Anna M
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumor. Many studies have investigated systemic therapy agents for treating meningiomas, but no study has systematically evaluated these agents in a comparative or comprehensive manner. Our goal was to investigate the recent systemic therapy agents used to treat meningioma and to compare outcomes such as progression-free survival and overall survival.

Methods: A systematic literature review was performed to investigate systemic therapy agents that are being used to treat meningioma tumors. The PubMed database was used for this review and articles published from 7/4/2011 to 7/4/2021 were evaluated. The exclusion criteria were animal and cell line studies, case reports, review articles, articles in a foreign language, and articles not related to meningioma or to systemic therapy agents.

Results: 163 articles were initially evaluated. After excluding 152 articles that did not fit the inclusion criteria, 11 articles exploring 14 different systemic therapy agents were included and compared, focusing on the outcomes of progression[1]free survival and overall survival. According to our findings, Bevacizumab has the most promising results as it is associated with reducing peri-tumoral edema and has the highest progression-free survival at six months of 86%.

Conclusion: This article evaluated systemic therapy agents used to treat meningioma tumors. Bevacizumab has the most promising results overall. However, further studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy and possible side effects among a larger population of patients with different grades, locations, and responses of the meningioma tumors to Bevacizumab.

Os Cirurgiões-Dentistas, como a maioria das profissões estão expostos a diversos fatores de riscos que podem interferir no seu bem-estar. Para que estes profissionais sejam poupados desta exposição inadequada e de outros fatores, é necessária uma orientação ergonômica relacionada a postura e atividades rotineiras nos consultórios, de modo que identificamos riscos severos a saúde destes profissionais. O acadêmico de Odontologia também está sujeito a esses fatores e, associado a falta de experiência, favorecem a fixação de vícios posturais. Esta pesquisa objetivou determinar a prevalência de Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos e Doenças Osteomusculares, entre docentes e discentes de um curso de Odontologia. Foi conduzido um estudo observacional, transversal, de caráter quantitativo. O estudo foi desenvolvido, em uma Clínica Escola de Odontologia. Foram convidados para a pesquisa os docentes do curso de Odontologia que desenvolviam atividades nas clínicas odontológicas, e os discentes que estavam matriculados nas disciplinas que envolvam a clínica. Foi utilizada a Metodologia Ergonômica do Sistema Humano-Tarefa-Máquina (SHTM) de Moraes e Mont’ Alvão (2010) que é baseada na engenharia de sistemas. Para esta pesquisa aplicou-se apenas a primeira etapa deste método que é “apreciação ergonômica”, uma fase exploratória que mapeia os problemas relativos a higiene e a segurança do trabalho e o Questionário Nórdico de Sistemas Osteomusculares. Os resultados demonstraram que do total de 350 alunos apenas 146 responderam ao questionário havendo uma predominância do sexo feminino (74,7%). No perfil dos 27 docentes que responderam o questionário sociodemográfico e nórdico houve uma predominância do sexo feminino de (66,7%).  Referente a prevalência de dor nos últimos doze meses encontrou-se que “dor em alguma parte do corpo” acometeu 78,8% dos discentes, principalmente em região lombar (43,8%) e pescoço (34,9%).  Enquanto que de a “dor em alguma parte do corpo”, nos últimos 07 dias entre os docentes, foi de 51,9%. Na prevalência de dor nos últimos doze meses dos docentes encontrou-se que “dor em alguma parte do corpo” foi de 70,4%, principalmente em região de ombro (44,5%). Sobre as características da clínica escola os discentes responderam que os ambientes físicos e ambientais de trabalho em geral são regulares.  Os principais problemas relatados foram o ruído (45,9%), a cadeira odontológica (41,1%) e os armários (41,15%). Através das ferramentas ergonômicas no trabalho, mostrou-se a necessidade de orientações ergonômicas e preventivas nas atividades dos discentes e docentes, favorecendo aplicabilidade da ergonomia na prática odontológica.
Benthos as a key driver of morphological change in coastal regions
Authors: Arlinghaus Peter Paul , Schrum Corinna , Kröncke Ingrid , Zhang Wenyan
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Benthos has long been recognized as an important factor influencing local sediment stability, deposition and erosion rates. However, its role in long-term (annual-to-decadal scale) and large-scale coastal morphological change remains largely speculative. This study aims to derive a quantitative understanding of the importance of benthos in the morphological development of a tidal embayment (Jade Bay), as representative for tidal coastal regions. To achieve this, we firstly applied a machine learning-aided species abundance model to derive a complete map of benthos (functional groups, abundance and biomass) in the study area, based on abundance and biomass measurements. The derived data were used to parameterize the benthos effect on sediment stability, erosion/deposition rates, and hydrodynamics in a 3-dimensional hydro-eco-morphodynamic model, which was then applied to the Jade Bay to hindcast morphological and sediment change for 2000–2009. Simulation results indicate significantly improved performance with benthos effect included. Results suggest that the model is able to reproduce the main pattern of morphological change only when benthos impact is included, whilst abiotic drivers (tides, storm surges) alone would lead to an opposite pattern. Based on comparison among scenarios with various combinations of abiotic and biotic factors, we further investigated the level of complexity of hydro-eco-morphodynamic models that is needed to capture long-term and large-scale coastal morphological development. The accuracy in parametrization data was crucial for increasing model complexity. When the parametrization uncertainties were high, increased model complexity decreased model performance.
Academic Philistinism? The Challenges of Contemporary Artistic Research Inside Academia. Semi-structured Interviews with Visual Art Students in Brazil
Authors: Schellini Marcelo , BenGhida Sonia , Ben Ghida Djamil , Romanelli Assumpção Flora
Published: July 2023

The objectives of this research are twofold, firstly, to analyse how departments of art and art practitioners are integrated within academia, and to scrutinise this coexistence, by focusing on emerging issues due to the nature of Art as “specific knowledge” thus, an assessment of its eventual mismatch within the generic framework of a traditional academic context. Consequently, this article exposes both frictions and dilemmas witnessed, as well as elaborates on the specificities of the Art knowledge and associated visual creativity and thinking. The study used qualitative analysis to explore the topic of the integration of art departments within academic settings. In this article, ten Visual Art students from three Brazilian universities are interviewed between May and August of 2022 about their perspectives on their studies and whether they advocate artistic research. The results shed light on how artistic practice is viewed as research and demonstrate how the traditional research outcome affects art students in their art production, academic and artistic identities, and perceptions and expectations.
Tra antico e contemporaneo: la simbologia paleocristiana alla base della progettazione architettonica degli edifici di culto
Authors: Cumbo Cristina , Cumbo Valentina Angela
Published: July 2023

Le ultime grandi trasformazioni subite dalla città di Roma hanno visto il profondo mutamento del paesaggio urbano che ha abbandonato l’aspetto rurale per accogliere, in particolar modo nelle aree denominate in passato “borgate”, la tipologia edilizia della palazzina. Nell’ambito di questo procedimento, vengono introdotte le parrocchie le cui caratteristiche architettoniche e artistiche si rifanno, in molti casi, all’antichità paleocristiana e medievale. Attraverso l’esame di sei casi esemplari collocati nei quartieri Prati, Aurelio, Corviale, Parioli e Trieste si vogliono sottolineare innovazioni contemporanee e riprese in chiave passata, aprendo una breve parentesi sui principi introdotti dal Concilio Vaticano ii, nonché dalla Nota CEI del 18 febbraio 1993. La semplicità dei materiali e dell’aula di culto si alterna così alla costante simbologia che getta le proprie radici all’interno di quel substrato, soprattutto iconografico, presente nelle catacombe e nelle prime chiese cristiane di Roma.
Contextualising the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Attitudes of People to Follow SOPs: Study of Smart Lockdown across Generation X, Y and Z in Pakistan
Authors: Alvi Mobashira , Ehsan Nadeem
Published: July 2023

Pandemics such as the Black Death and cholera in the past sowed doubt among the human population and triggered widespread fear and panic. When it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic, people all around the world seem to have the same reactions. This study aimed to determine if and to what extent people's compliance with SOPs affects the rate at which the disease spreads. This study uses the theoretical underpinnings laid out by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to inquire about people's awareness, understanding, and perspectives. Intentions toward COVID-19 SOPs were investigated by digging into these independent factors. Voluntary and non-voluntary control behaviour intents can be predicted by the independent variables. The research is conducted in two phases and used a combination of methods, i.e., quantitative and qualitative. The findings from Stage I's demographic exploration has been put to the test in Stage II's empirical analysis. Also, the results were compared over three generations (X, Y, and Z) to examine generational differences and determine whether or not adjusting to how individuals of different ages see pandemics will help reduce their societal impact. Among the three selected generations, Gen Z was the most influenced by information and advice campaigns to build a perception of danger that has shaped their protective behaviour, as evidenced by the results of the qualitative study's 42 face-to-face interviews. Yet, Gen Y and Z were more influenced by informal standards. In stage II, the questionnaire (n=510) was used to conduct empirical testing of the topics identified in qualitative thematic analysis, and the results indicated that risk perception was a significant predictor of protective behaviour. No substantial moderating influence of risk perception on knowledge and protective behaviour was found, according to mediation and moderation analysis.

Franciszkanie w Gdańsku- zaplecze społeczne klasztoru oraz jego związki z miastem w XV i pierwszej połowie XVI w.
Authors: Kubicki Rafał
Published: July 2023

Fundację klasztoru franciszkanów w Gdańsku, zrealizowaną przy wsparciu Zakonu Krzyżackiego, dokonano w pierwszej połowie XV wieku. Klasztor ten podobnie jak inne opactwa znajdujące się w państwie krzyżackim, a później funkcjonujący w Prusach należał do saskiej prowincji zakonu franciszkanów. Kontakty franciszkanów z miejscowym mieszczaństwem potwierdza porozumienie w sprawie przyjęcia do udziału w dobrach duchowych Zakonu członków cechu rzeźników z 1381 r.  Zakonnicy realizujący swoją misję w wielkim mieście hanzeatyckim nie ograniczali swojej działalności religijnej tylko w krużgankach. Dla przykładu: bracia z opactwa franciszkanów w Gdańsku podróżowali także do Falsterbo w Królestwie Duńskim, gdzie zajmowali się duchową opieką kupców gdańskich, którzy brali udział w dorocznym jarmarku śledzi. Zakonnicy wywierali wpływ nie tylko na ludność mieszczańską, ale także na miejscowe rycerstwo. W 1476 r. gwardian Jan Rolle, za zgodą ministra saskiego i lektora Pisma Świętego Mikołaja Lackmanna, przyjął do udziału w dobrach duchowych klasztoru rycerstwo powiatu gdańskiego. Franciszkanie mieli bliskie stosunki z chłopami. W 1488 r. minister prowincjalny franciszkanów zredagował dokument potwierdzający przyjęcie do udziału w dobrach duchowych zakonu mieszkańców wsi Zaroślak. Następnie w 1495 r. do udziału w dobrach duchowych klasztoru zostali przyjęci członkowie cechu wytwórców kubków i wiader wraz z rodzinami. Przykłady te świadczą o szerokim zapleczu klasztoru, który do czasów reformacji był wspierany przez władze miejskie. Bliskie kontakty gdańskich franciszkanów z miejscowym mieszczaństwem potwierdziły liczne zapisy zawarte w testamentach dla franciszkanów. Wszystkie te przykłady potwierdzają powodzenie klasztoru przez budowanie dużej wspólnoty wiernych często związanej z klasztorem formalnymi umowami. To, co było siłą klasztoru, stało się słabością w sytuacji, gdy zdecydowana większość mieszczaństwa opowiedziała się za protestantyzmem. Sytuacja ta pogłębiła trudności klauzury i spowodowała problemy wewnętrzne i kryzys Saksońskiej Prowincji Franciszkanów, a w końcu upadek fundacji.
Z dziejów domu świętej Notburgi w Raciborzu należącego do Zgromadzenia Sióstr Maryi Niepokalanej (1886-2011)
Authors: Stefaniak Piotr
Published: July 2023

Na przestrzeni 125 lat historii Dom św. Notburgi zmienił charakter swojej działalności, ale zawsze był miejscem realizacji powołania sióstr. Fenomen istnienia Domu Zgromadzenia Sióstr Maryi Niepokalanej na Górnym Śląsku polega na tym, że dom ten istnieje niezależnie od zawirowań politycznych i zmian granic państwowych. Dochody z tego domu w dużej mierze czerpali Ślązacy, Niemcy (do II wojny światowej) i Polacy. Dom św. Notburgi w Raciborzu ma szczególne znaczenie społeczne i religijne i zasługuje na uwagę badaczy, zarówno historyków, jak i współczesnych badaczy. Należy prowadzić różne studia i badania naukowe w celu popularyzacji cennego dziedzictwa sióstr Maryi Niepokalanej i ich podopiecznych. To dziedzictwo jest uniwersalne i ważne w duchowości chrześcijańskiej i ludzkiej wytworzonej w Raciborzu.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: The SDIDTK activities are part of a comprehensive and high-quality child development program, focusing on stimulation, early detection, and intervention of developmental deviations during the first five years of life and for preschool children aged 5-6 years, utilizing the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP). The KPSP is employed at the family/community level by trained Early Childhood Education (PAUD) educators and kindergarten teachers. The Midwifery D3 Study Program at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis has launched a new breakthrough, an Android-based KPSP application developed as a result of research conducted by faculty members from the Midwifery D3 Study Program.

Objective: The purpose of this service was providing a solution to the problem of effectively and efficiently utilizing developmental screening through an Android-based KPSP application, accompanied by an improvement in knowledge regarding developmental screening in infants and toddlers.

Introduction: The success of the maternal health program can be assessed through the main indicator, maternal mortality rate (MMR). One of the efforts that can be made to reduce MMR is the suggestion that health workers are expected to be able to prevent obstetric complications such as hypertension in pregnancy and the puerperium. Every pregnancy, in its development, has a risk of experiencing complications. Antenatal care must be carried out routinely, according to standards, and integrated for quality antenatal care. Antenatal care is very necessary for every pregnant woman because her condition greatly affects the continuity of pregnancy and the growth of the fetus in her womb. Laboratory tests are very important for the early detection of complications in pregnancy and childbirth so that they can be prevented and appropriate management carried out. Laboratory examination as a form of screening for the health conditions of pregnant women is a promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative effort to prevent maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality provided by health workers.

Objective: The purpose of this community service is to increase the mother's knowledge by providing health education on the importance of laboratory tests and performing hemoglobin, urine glucose, and urine protein examination services so that pregnant women can find out the condition of their pregnancy.

Method: The implementation method is by providing health education and services for checking hemoglobin, urine glucose, and urine protein.

Result: There were 13 pregnant women who did hemoglobin and urine tests, there were 11 pregnant women (84.6%) with non-anemia results and 2 pregnant women (15.4%) with anemia results. Then from the results of urine glucose and urine protein examinations, it was found that 13 pregnant women were all negative (100%).

Conclusion: The target is very enthusiastic about participating in the activity. Pregnant women also feel very happy to be able to do their own pregnancy checks in an effort to detect early pregnancy complications that may occur. Laboratory tests found two pregnant women who had anemia during pregnancy, and all pregnant women had urine glucose and urine protein tests that were all negative.
Construção dos saberes dos professores para uma educação contextualizada no semiárido paraibano.

Published: July 2023

O presente estudo situa-se no campo da Educação Contextualizada para a Convivência com o Semiárido Brasileiro, tendo como objetivo conhecer os saberes construídos pelos professores das disciplinas de Ciencias e Geografia para uma Educação Contextualizada no Semiárido Paraibano, e ainda verificar através de suas práticas docentes, se o tema é contemplado nos conteúdos e metodologías aplicadas em sala de aula, contribuindo desta forma para a aprendizagem dos educandos. Adotamos para tanto, a pesquisa qualitativa, e a técnica utilizada no procedimento de coleta de dados foi o questionário que aplicamos com cinco (05) profesores, no intuito de conhecer suas concepções sobre saberes docentes para uma Educação Contextualizada. Os dados obtidos na presente pesquisa demonstraram que a discussão sobre a Educação Contextualizada se apresenta ainda de forma muito tímida no espaço escolar. A formação inicial dos profesores nos cursos de licenciatura não possibilita a articulação dos saberes científicos com os da prática, deixando desta forma, lacunas em seu processo formativo, consequentemente implicando na abordagem ineficiente dos conteúdos sobre Semiárido na perspectiva da Educação Contextualizada. Considerando ser este o tema do estudo, concluí-se portanto que nas práticas docentes desses professores da escola selecionada, não há indícios de uma educação pautada na convivência com o Semiárido, a pesar de existirem expectativas e desafios quanto à sua construção.
Educação ambiental nas escolas do campo: Limites e possibilidades para uma educação contextualizada para convivência com o semiárido.

Published: July 2023

Este trabalho teve como finalidade identificar a concepção e o fazer pedagógico com Educação Ambiental nas Escolas do Campo, buscando compreender os limites e as possibilidades para uma contextualização da Educação na perspectiva da convivência com o Semiárido. Nosso objetivo específico foi o contribuir com subsídios para a inserção da Educação Ambiental numa perspectiva da convivência e da sustentabilidade nas propostas pedagógicas das Escolas do Campo. A abordagem qualitativa da pesquisa orientou nosso olhar metodológico para nos aproximar do objeto da investigação, com essa referencia usamos diferentes instrumentos: análise documental, questionário, observação participante e entrevista semi-estuturada. Educação Ambiental conforme (Dewes, Wittckin. 2006), contextualização conforme (Houaiss, 2001), e Convivência entendida conforme (Reis, 2003) Foram às categorias teóricas centrais do trabalho. Como resultados identificamos que: na escola campo de pesquisa existe um fazer pedagógico com Educação Ambiental sistemático em sala de aula e que embora não exista uma Proposta Pedagógica sistematizada num documento específico, ela se expressa na fala e na prática da professora, evidenciando uma diversidade de abordagens que se entrecruzam no fazer pedagógico na sala de aula. Essa diversidade de abordagem impõe limites e as possibilidades para a contextualização da Educação. A criatividade e a interação entre os saberes provenientes da experiência e da prática docente possibilitam uma releitura da professora na proposta apresentada pelos órgãos públicos para ser trabalhado em sala de aula. Portanto, os resultados desafiam as políticas públicas para uma proposta de Educação Ambiental que possibilite a convivência com o Semiárido, e de uma formação docente que contribua para uma prática contextualizada.
O Semiárido Brasileiro na visão dos livros didáticos de história e geografia no ensino fundamental adotados por duas escolas do sistema municipal e estadual em sumé-PB.
Authors:   , Lucivania da Silva Clara
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar uma compreensão de como a temática Semiárido Brasileiro é abordada nos Livros Didáticos dos Componentes Curriculares História e Geografia adotados por duas Escolas do Ensino Fundamental dos Sistemas Municipal e Estadual no ano de 2010/2011 em Sumé (PB). Assume a educação como condição indispensável na transformação das realidades dos povos do Semiárido Brasileiro enquanto processo construído no seu contexto social, político e econômico na perspectiva de novos rumos do desenvolvimento regional. A metodologia utilizada para obter os resultados da pesquisa circunscreveu-se ao universo da pesquisa qualitativa utilizando um recorte bastante específico da análise de Livros Didáticos. O campo de desenvolvimento da pesquisa constituiu-se das escolas Gonçala Rodrigues de Freitas e Professor José Gonçalves de Queiróz. O trabalho apresenta a caracterização dos Livros Didáticos numa visão histórica e cultural do processo ensino/aprendizagem. Nas últimas décadas, estudiosos têm dado maior atenção à avaliação e à qualidade dos Livros Didáticos distribuídos nas escolas públicas, pois o Livro Didático não é o único material de apoio às práticas pedagógicas escolares, porém importante nesse processo e tem contribuído para o desempenho dos estudantes. Por outro lado, as abordagens inadequadas de algumas temáticas têm distanciado esses recursos didáticos de forma significativa das realidades de algumas escolas Brasileiras. Com este trabalho, pode-se considerar que os Livros Didáticos analisados não dão conta de apresentar aos meninos e às meninas a temática Semiárido Brasileiro na perspectiva adotada neste trabalho, necessitando assim, de um trabalho de investigação envolvendo escola/sociedade para modificar essa visão que as obras apresentam do Semiárido Brasileiro.
Análise sobre a tipologia dos empreendimentos de economia solidária no Brasil.
Authors:   , Edileide Batista Gomes Maria
Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho buscou analisar as tipologias dos empreendimentos econômicos solidários ocorridos no Brasil, considerando às distintas formas de organização coletiva, com princípios voltados a Cooperação e autogestão em diferentes setores da economia e em todos os estados da Federação. Como suporte teórico o estudo partiu da literatura publicada pelos principais autores da área, para posteriormente realizar um levantamento de acordo com os dados da Secretaria Nacional de Economia Solidária (SENAES), disponíveis no Atlas da Economia Solidária de 2009-2013 e no Atlas Virtual da Economia Solidária. Foram considerados como variáveis os fatores motivadores para a criação, o tipo de empreendimento, e o gênero do envolvido. Como resultados, foram encontradas as seguintes tipologias existentes no cenário brasileiro dos Empreendimentos Econômicos Solidários (EES): a maioria está na região Nordeste (40,8%), no meio rural (54,8%), voltados a exercer atividades características da agricultura familiar (47,9%), alocados no segmento econômico de serviços (67%), na forma de associações (60%) e constituídas por até 20 membros (41,7%). Concluiu-se que, há forte crescimento nesse setor com amplas possibilidades de desenvolvimento no campo social e econômico, dada sua contribuição para a inclusão socioeconômica da população mais pobre e para o desenvolvimento local. Já no campo das políticas públicas, apontam diversas possibilidades de intervenção por meio de programas específicos de apoio e fomento, como políticas de subsídio e demanda.

Published: July 2023

O objeto de investigação do presente trabalho e saber como a economia solidaria esta presente na vida dos estudantes do Programa Projovem Campo Saberes da Terra do município de Sumé - PB. Definido o objeto realizamos a escolha dos fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos. Para tanto, utilizamos a pesquisa qualitativa com aplicação de questionários como instrumento de coleta de dados. O resultado se deu por meio da analise interpretativa e descritiva, possibilitando diagnosticar que a Economia Solidaria esta presente na vida dos educandos porem, o conhecimento precisa ser mais aprofundado. Com base no estudo, propomos que o currículo das escolas abrace ainda mais a temática da Economia Solidaria para EJA, pois se a própria modalidade já é uma alternativa de suprir o que de fato esta incompleto no jovem, ou seja, concluir os estudos, por outro lado nos parece também, ser, a economia solidaria, uma alternativa de suprir uma lacuna que também esta presente na vida destes.

O presente trabalho, tem por objetivo debater sobre a necessidade de desenvolver práticas de ensino da matemática de forma contextualizada com o cotidiano do aluno no semiárido nordestino, buscando leva-los a um maior êxito no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Para tanto, como demonstração para uma possível contextualização da matemática, utilizamos elementos matemáticos do cotidiano dos profissionais técnicos da CAGEPA – Companhia de Água e Esgotos da Paraíba, para vislumbrar a promoção de seu ensino nas escolas, aproximando contextos do cotidiano da população. Partimos da realidade que vivemos, ou seja, uma época de longa estiagem e uma crise no abastecimento de água no Cariri Ocidental da Paraíba e essa problemática pode vir a gerar várias contextualizações para o ensino da matemática, com propriedade, pois é uma situação vivida cotidianamente. Sabemos que algumas expressões surgem na mídia, nas rodas de conversa e etc., onde nelas estão contidos vários elementos matemáticos falados cotidianamente, como: "Volume morto", "10% da capacidade" e vários outros e até mesmo a própria palavra "racionamento". Então, a proposta desse artigo foi mostrar cenários de contextualização, a partir da realidade de uma categoria profissional, muito interligada a realidade do semiárido paraibano. Foi possível mostrar que os cenários, juntamente com a análise de um questionário semiestruturado aplicado junto a população, que são vários os elementos existentes para uso em sala de aula, o que possibilita aproximar a matemática do cotidiano, das profissões e da escola num objetivo comum, que é a aprendizagem de forma consistente.
