Authors: Hays Laura , Weaver Jordan , Gauger Matthew , Buckner Nickie , Bailey Brett , Stone Ashley , Orlando Lori
Published: February 2025

We sought to incorporate a community-based solution with a family health history (FHH) clinical support program (MeTree) integrated into well-patient appointments with the novel partnership of a public health state-level health information exchange (HIE). The Arkansas—Making History pilot project tested informatics compatibility among these systems and the patients’ electronic medical record (EPIC) in a rural clinic in the north central region of the state, having the state HIE as a means for patients to store and share their FHHs across multiple healthcare providers with updates in real time. We monitored for unexpected issues during the pilot and asked for the perspectives of patients and healthcare providers throughout the project to have a clear understanding of how to implement this project on a larger scale. The greatest barrier to project implementation was the inability of the state HIE to host or share the FHH data. We compensated for the lack of systems compatibility and documented valuable information about patient acceptability and usability of the MeTree platform, as well as gleaning important clinical outcome data from those who completed MeTree FHH accounts in an underserved area. Rural patients need additional technological support in the larger scaling of this project, both in available linkages to community clinics with patient-controlled options for how their data is stored and shared and in Internet connectivity and software options available for ease of use.

Published: February 2025

Pigs are susceptible to the deadly infectious disease known as African swine fever (ASF), which is brought on by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). As such, prompt and precise disease detection is essential. Deletion of the virulence-related genes MGF-505/360 and EP402R generated from the virulent genotype II virus significantly reduces its virulence, and animal tests using one of the recombinant viruses show great lethality and transmissibility in pigs. The isothermal technique known as recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is perfect for rapid in-field detection. To accurately identify ASFV MGF-505R gene-deleted mutants and assess the complex infection situation of ASF, RPA assays in conjunction with real-time fluorescent detection (real-time RPA assay) and lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD assay) were created. These innovative methods allow for the direct detection of ASFV from pigs, offering in-field pathogen detection, timely disease management, and satisfying animal quarantine requirements. The specific primers and probes were designed against conserved regions of ASFV B646L and MGF-505R genes. Using recombinant plasmid DNA containing ASFV MGF-505R gene-deleted mutants as a template, the sensitivity of both ASF real-time RPA and ASF RPA-LFD assays were demonstrated to be 10 copies per reaction within 20 min at 37 °C. Neither assay had cross-reactions with CSFV, PRRSV, PPV, PRV, ot PCV2, common viruses seen in pigs, indicating that these methods were highly specific for ASFV. The evaluation of the performance of ASFV real-time RPA and ASFV RPA-LFD assays with clinical samples (n = 453) demonstrated their ability to specifically detect ASFV or MGF-505R gene-deleted mutants in samples of pig feces, ham, fresh pork, and blood. Both assays exhibited the same diagnostic rate as the WOAH-recommended real-time fluorescence PCR, highlighting their reliability and validity. These assays offer a simple, cost-effective, rapid, and sensitive method for on-site identification of ASFV MGF-505R gene-deleted mutants. As a promising alternative to real-time PCR, they have the potential to significantly enhance the prevention and control of ASF in field settings.

Authors: Yong Faith R , Martin Priya , Wallis Katharine A , Fox Jordan , Kirubakaran Sneha , Partanen Riitta L , Kondalsamy-Chennakesavan Srinivas , McGrail Matthew R
Published: February 2025

Background

Ensuring sufficient supply of general practitioners (GPs) is critical for servicing increasing healthcare demands. Heightened by pandemic conditions, chronic shortages of GPs persist globally. Whilst many factors reinforcing general practice specialty choices are known, system-level understanding of GP career decision-making influences across medical training requires investigation.

Aim

To explore specialty choice rationales through career selection narratives of recently registered Australian GPs, using a system-level perspective.

Design & setting

Semi-structured interviews were selected for in-depth explorations of GP specialty choice rationale. Within Australia, medical specialty training choices are typically made after both university medical education and mandatory one-to-two year prevocational (hospital-based) training is completed.

Method

Interviews were conducted online with GPs who had completed all training in the last 10 years. De-identified and verified transcripts underwent participant checking. Deductive framework analysis using career counselling constructs, and inductive thematic analysis were performed.

Results

There were 25 participants. Career counselling constructs provided system-level understanding of GP specialty decision-making processes. Large gaps in GP career information were highlighted throughout medical training for many participants. Overcoming negative medical narratives about general practice was necessary for most in choosing a GP career. However, positive experiences with GP communities or work created insights into the broad flexibility of GP person-specialty fit.

Conclusion

GP work experiences and personal GP connections could counteract prominent negative narratives about GP careers. However, lack of systemic and regular exposure to GPs throughout medical training is a critical barrier that should be addressed through sustained policy and professional interventions.

Published: February 2025

El deterioro cognitivo puede afectar significativamente la calidad de vida del adulto mayor, limitando su capacidad para realizar actividades diarias y mantener relaciones sociales. La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar los niveles de deterioro cognitivo durante la etapa de adultez tardía en la población de estudio. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo con un diseño no experimental; se aplicó como instrumento el cuestionario de Evaluación cognitiva de Montreal a 60 personas adultas, de ambos sexos. Se realizó un análisis de Chi cuadrado para evaluar la relación entre los niveles de deterioro cognitivo y sus dimensiones en adultos mayores. Los hallazgos indican que la mayoría de los participantes se encuentra en las etapas iniciales de la vejez, con un 71.6% entre 65 y 70 años y una ligera predominancia femenina; solo el 21.6% pertenece al grupo de 71 a 80 años y existe escasa representación en edades más avanzadas. Un 73.3% presenta deterioro cognitivo moderado, el 20% leve y solo el 6.7% no muestra deterioro. Las áreas más afectadas con deterioro moderado son la identificación y el lenguaje, ambas con un 75%, mientras que la atención presenta el 66.7%. Aunque el análisis no reveló asociaciones significativas entre las dimensiones, los resultados subrayan la necesidad de intervenciones tempranas en salud cognitiva para adultos mayores en riesgo de demencia

Los factores sociodemográficos asociados a los estilos de conducción son características demográficas que influyen en cómo las personas manejan. Con el objetivo determinar su asociación, la investigación empírica se concibió bajo el paradigma cuantitativo, diseño no experimental donde se evaluó los estilos de conducción en una muestra de 349 conductores de Lima Metropolitana y Callao, para el recojo de la información se utilizó el inventario multidimensional. Los resultados señalaron que es predominante el estilo Prudente con un 88% del total de la muestra, seguido del estilo Disociativo con 4,6% y el 7,4% se distribuyeron entre los otros cuatro estilos que evalúa el instrumento. Adicionalmente, se ha comparado el EdC con las variables sociodemográficas, entre los resultados más resaltantes se puede observar que las mujeres no presentan el estilo de conducción Manejo de estrés, en contraparte los hombres se auto perciben con un estilo Riesgoso, Disociativo, Agresivo y Ansioso (1,7%, 4,3%, 2,3% y 2,0% respectivamente). Finalmente se buscó la asociación entre los estilos de conducción y las variables: sexo, lugar de procedencia, rango etáreo, grado de instrucción y tipo de uso de conducción; solo se encontró asociación significativa (con un valor de Chi cuadrado de 62.215 y un p – valor de 0.000) entre el lugar de procedencia y los EdC. Se concluye que los estilos de conducción más riesgosos, como el agresivo, disociativo y ansioso, son menos frecuentes, pero se asocian con factores como el estrés, la impulsividad y la falta de regulación emocional

Published: February 2025

Proizvodi tekstilne i odjevne industrije su sveprisutni, gotovo je nemoguće zamisliti svakodnevni život bez nekog komada tekstila. Stoga, tekstilna industrija igra vodeću ulogu u onečišćenju okoliša na globalnoj razini. Globalni okolišni problemi započeli su već krajem 18. stoljeća. Međutim, promjene u okolišu počele su se primjećivati tek u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća kada se globalna klima već znatno promijenila, zdrav gospodarski rast i razvoj značajno narušio, bioraznolikost izgubila, a opstanak suvremene civilizacije postao upitan. Paralelno s pogoršanjem stanja okoliša javila se i ekološka svijest, a time i zahtjevi za razvojem zakona i legislativa vezanih za prevenciju onečišćenja okoliša. Koncept kružnog gospodarstva i održivi razvoj javlja se kao rješenje na krucijalno pitanje stanja okoliša na globalnoj razini. Ovim konceptom nastoji se osigurati napredak u skladu s ekološkim, ekonomskim i socijalnim aspektima razvoja. S ciljem približavanja što efikasnijim rješenjima u prevenciji onečišćenja okoliša prouzrokovanog proizvodnjom i potrošnjom tekstilnih materijala provedena je anketa o ekološkoj svijesti kao osnovi za rješavanje globalnih ekoloških problema. Sa sigurnošću se može reći kako svaka pozitivna promjena na globalnoj razini započinje konstruktivnim razmišljanjem i djelovanjem pojedinca na lokalnoj razini.

Published: February 2025

Women who wear high heels often have problems with leg and spine pain. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of high-heeled footwear on the load on the ankle and foot. Pressure measurements were carried out in a static standing position for barefoot and footwear with different heel heights (0.5 cm, 2.5 cm, 6.5 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm) and shapes (narrow heel and block heel). Using a simple biomechanical model of the foot, the forces in the ankle were calculated. The highest forces in the ankle occur with narrow, medium-height heels. With narrow heels (medium-height and high), the highest pressures also occur in the front part, where the center of pressure is located. From obtained results, it can be concluded that high-heeled shoes with narrow heel support could pose a high risk on foot and ankle joint.

Published: February 2025

The absorption of labor is one of the roles of micro, small, and medium enterprises in achieving economic growth in developing countries, especially Indonesia. Sidoarjo is one of the areas that are in the national spotlight because it has earned the nickname "Indonesian MSME City." Tarik, as a part of Sidoarjo Regency, has a relatively large number of MSMEs. However, MSMEs are less able to manage their finances well and are still manual in carrying out sales transactions. Analyzing the influence of financial literacy, financial inclusion and financial technology on the sustainability of MSME businesses is the aim of this research. The research sample included MSME business actors in Tarik District who were still active, with a total of 100 respondents.  Quantitative research with primary data sources uses questionnaires that have been tested for validity and reliability. Researchers carried out the analysis using multiple linear regression analysis with stratified random sampling techniques. Data processing uses SPSS version 26 program tools.

The Impact of Climate Changes on The Climatic Water Balance in The Syrian Coast Region During the Period (1980 to 2020)
Authors: Haleme Kinana Kassir , Al- Sagarat Omer Farahan
Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study aimed  to investigate and analyze the impact of temporal changes in climatic elements (temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind, and reference evapotranspiration) on the climatic water balance in the Syrian coastal region from 1980 to 2020. This will be achieved by using statistical indicators and equations to elucidate the relationship between precipitation, reference evapotranspiration, and climate change indicators, utilizing five climate stations distributed in the region (Tartous, Safita, Latakia, Al-Kurdaha, and Slunfah).
Methods: The study used the Mann-Kendall equation to verify the hypothesis of temporal temperature changes at the studied stations. The Climatic Water Deficit (CHD) was evaluated using monthly and annual climate data (temperature and relative humidity) to calculate reference evapotranspiration values at the stations based on the Ivanov equation. This represents the difference between precipitation (P) and reference evapotranspiration (ET0) calculated using the Penman-Monteith method, for the period from 1980 to 2020. Additionally, drought and surplus years were identified using the decadal method.
Results: The study results showed a significant upward trend in reference evapotranspiration at all stations over the study period, with a water deficit observed at all stations except Slunfah. Analysis of the drought index revealed that precipitation was less than 30% of expected precipitation in 15 years during the study period.
Conclusions: The  general trend of rainfall in the Syrian coast was analyzed, along with the study of agricultural drought years and periods of water surplus based on decadal categories. Additionally, the study evaluated the climatic water balance during the period (1980-2020), shedding light on the variations and challenges faced due to natural factors and site characteristics.

Authors: Marashdeh Ra’edah Ali , Obeidat Mahmoud Mohamad
Published: February 2025

الأهداف: عنيت الدراسة بظاهرة الاغتراب وانعكاسها على الشاعر عمرو بن الأهتم في ضوء ما واجه من تقلبات سلوكية في نسقه الاجتماعي، ما دفعه لحالة من الاضطراب الفكري والإحساس بالتشاؤم وانعدام التوافق مع مكونه الاجتماعي، من هذا المنظور هدفت الدارسة إلى كشف استراتيجية الشاعر في التعامل مع اغترابه انطلاقا من فضاءات اللغة التي أفضت إلى مسار تأويلي، حاولت من خلاله تتبع حركة الدلالة واستجلاء المعاني المضمرة وصولا إلى الدلالات العميقة في قصيدته: (ألا طرقت أسماء وهي طروق)، كما هدفت إلى البحث عن إشاريات السياق اللغوي ورمزية الصورة في تشكيل المعنى والكشف عن الدلالات المضمرة في النص.
المنهجية: اتبعت الدراسة لتحقيق أهدافها المنهج الوصفي التحليلي والقراءة التأويلية للقصيدة، واشتملت على محورين: أسس المحور الأول لمفاهيم لغوية واصطلاحية وإضاءات اقتضتها القراءة التأويلية، وتضمن المحور الثاني القراءة التأويلية انطلاقا من لغة الخطاب الشعري في النص بوصفها تجسيدا لنظام من الإشارات الدالة على الفضاء المغيب، ثم الكشف عن تجربة الشاعر الاجتماعية وتقلباتها في إطار منتجه الفني.
النتائج: اتضح أن الشاعر كشف عن مظاهر انحراف قيمي وأخلاقي في إطاره الاجتماعي، فهو فطر على القيم النبيلة التي تأصلت في ذاته بعد دخوله الإسلام.
الخلاصة: خلصت الدراسة إلى أن الإنسياب والتداعي الذي رافق التشكيل الفني في النص، كشف عن نظام بنيوي متكامل، استطاع من خلاله الشاعر تجسيد تجربته التي عاشها مع المجتمع، والتي أفضت إلى حالة من الاغتراب، لم يقف إزاءها موقفا سلبيا، وإنما أكد من خلال اللغة الشعرية فاعلية الذات في قهر الاغتراب والتغلب عليه.

Aim: To evaluate the anatomical location of the GPF in macerated skulls by means of linear measurements and anatomical structures, in turn providing information that can aid dentists when performing anesthetic and surgical techniques.
Methods: An experimental ex vivo study was performed. The sample consisted of 55 dry skulls. Measurements were taken on the topography of the GPF: a) distance from the GPF to the median palatine suture (MPS); b) distance from the GPF to the posterior nasal spine (PNS); c) distance from the GPF to the center of the incisive foramen (IF); d) distance from the GPF to the alveolar ridge (AR); and e) distance between the right and left GPFs. The Mann-Whitney and Pearson’s Chi-Square tests were performed (α = 5%).
Results: It was noted that the distance between the left and right GPFs, from the GPF to the PNS and to the IF were greater in female skulls (p < 0.05). In addition, it was possible to verify that the distances from the left and right GPFs to the AR and to the PNS were greater in male skulls. In relation to molars, no association was found between gender and the location of the GPF.
Conclusion: Using varied anatomical structures, differences were found in the location of the GPF in both female and male skulls.

Published: February 2025

Aim: To analyze the available scientific literature on racial inequities in access to dental services for the Black population.
Materials and Methods: It is an integrative literature review. An online search was conducted between April and May 2023, in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline- Pubmed) and the Virtual Health Library (BVS) databases. The selected search terms in English were “Health services accessibility,” “Dental health services,” “race,” and “blacks.” Original studies that addressed access or use of dental services and race/color as an exposure variable, published between 2003 and May 2023, in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, were included. Literature reviews, editorials, and short communications were excluded from the study.
Results: Initially, 138 eligible articles were identified: 94 in the PUBMED database, 43 in the BVS, and 1 manually inserted. After removing duplicate articles and selecting by reading titles, abstracts, and finally full texts, 12 articles were included in the integrative review. The analysis of the studies allowed categorizing inequities in access to dental services by the black population into 3 perspectives: barriers to dental services, service quality, and racial bias in dental treatment.
Conclusion: Based on the analyzed studies, it was observed that socioeconomic, geographical, cultural, and behavioral factors, combined with structural racism, contribute to the limited access of the Black population to equitable services. It is concluded that the factors associated with racial inequities in access to dental services for this population are rooted in the structural dimension of racial hierarchy in society.

Formation mechanism of periodic wrinkles around trimmed nanoimprint resist masks studied by surface analyses
Authors: Takano Naoki , Niinomi Hiromasa , Nakagawa Masaru
Published: February 2025

We performed surface analyses of UV-cured films of a bisphenol A-based dimethacrylate resin by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry to understand the formation mechanisms for different resist shapes of wrinkled and dome imprint masks via oxygen reactive ion etching (O2 RIE) and UV/ozone exposure, respectively, in trimming to decrease the diameters of resist masks for ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography. O2 RIE generated a carbon-rich and oxygen-poor layer near the film surface owing to preferential oxidation of aliphatic hydrocarbons by hydrogen abstraction. In contrast, UV/ozone exposure generated an oxygen-rich outermost layer on a carbon-rich and oxygen-poor layer. The formation of the outermost layer was attributed to the photooxidation and ozonization of the aromatic hydrocarbon rings, whereas the underlying layer arose from hydrogen abstraction of aliphatic hydrocarbons by atomic oxygen. The formation of bilayers suggests that the O2 RIE caused bucking instability and generated wrinkles around the resist masks.

Supersonic transport (SST) is poised to revolutionize the aviation industry once again, offering the potential for significantly reduced travel times across transcontinental and transoceanic routes. This paper delves into the key engine design elements for next-generation SST aircraft, focusing on critical areas such as fuel efficiency, environmental sustainability, and noise reduction. With a particular emphasis on low-bypass turbofan engines, variable cycle technology, and afterburner integration, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the technological advancements necessary to address the challenges that previously plagued supersonic transport, such as the high fuel consumption and environmental impact of earlier designs like the Concorde [1]. The paper also explores the role of alternative fuels—namely, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and liquid hydrogen—and their implications for the future of high-speed aviation. Through computational modeling and materials analysis, the paper proposes a conceptual engine model that balances performance, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Areas for future research, particularly in noise abatement and thermodynamic efficiency, are also outlined.

The pre-experimental approach was used in this study. The students in XI IPA1, out of a total of 28, were chosen as the sample by the researcher using a random sampling procedure. Speaking tests in the form of oral exams served as the research tool. After then, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine the collected data. The data analysis's outcome demonstrated that the level of significance (0.05) was greater than the probability value (0.00). This demonstrated that the use of Plan-ahead Brainstorming improved the students' ability to communicate. This suggests the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). This study made a significant contribution to the theory of the use of plan-ahead brainstorming to improve students' speaking abilities. The method that can most effectively affect students' speaking fluency is plan-ahead brainstorming. The outcome of the use of plan-ahead brainstorming is useful in learning English, especially students in learning speaking. The student can decrease their anxiety and stammer in plan-ahead session to prepare what they want to utter. The researcher found that this technique is useful for teachers in order that they can use this technique more effectively as long as the teacher prepare specific time to implement this technique in several time.

ABSTRAK
Latar Belakang: Pencabutan gigi merupakan prosedur perawatan invasif yang merangsang proses penyembuhan luka yang terdiri dari fase hemostasis, inflamasi, proliferasi, dan remodelling. Dalam berbagai fase penyembuhan, kolagen berperan mempercepat penyembuhan luka dengan cara menghentikan perdarahan, mencegah inflamasi yang berkepanjangan, mendukung angiogenesis, pembentukan jaringan granulasi, dan kontraksi luka. Kolagen umumnya diekstraksi dari kulit atau tulang sapi atau babi, namun kontroversi agama dan risiko penularan penyakit memicu pencarian sumber kolagen alternatif, yaitu ikan. Pemanfaatan kolagen yang diekstraksi dari produk limbah ikan membantu menambah nilai ekonomi dan mengurangi masalah lingkungan. Kolagen ikan bersifat biokompatibel dan memiliki komposisi asam amino yang setara dengan kolagen sapi atau babi. Kesimpulan: Kolagen ikan berpotensi sebagai bahan terapi tambahan untuk mempercepat penyembuhan luka pasca pencabutan gigi karena bersifat biokompatibel, tidak berisiko menularkan penyakit, dan mengandung asam amino yang berperan dalam mendukung proliferasi makrofag, fibroblas, dan epitel, sintesis kolagen, angiogenesis, dan kontraksi luka.

ABSTRACT
Background : Tooth extraction is an invasive treatment procedure that stimulates the wound healing process, consisting of the hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling phases. In the wound healing phases, collagen plays a role in accelerating wound healing by stopping bleeding, preventing prolonged inflammation, promoting angiogenesis, the formation of granulation tissue, and wound contraction. Generally, collagen is extracted from the skin or bone of bovine or porcine, but religious controversies and the risk of disease transmission have triggered the search for alternative sources of collagen, namely fish. Extracting collagen from fish waste products helps to increase economic value and reduce environmental problems. Fish collagen is biocompatible and have similar amino acid composition to bovine and porcine collagen. Conclusion : Fish collagen has the potential to be an additional therapeutic material to accelerate after tooth extraction healing because that collagen is biocompatible, low risk of disease transmission, and contains amino acids that play role in promoting the proliferation of macrophage, fibroblast, and epithelial cells, collagen sintesis, angiogenesis, and wound contraction.

Published: February 2025

Sabe-se que a produção científica sobre surdocegueira no Brasil ainda é escassa, especialmente no campo da Educação Especial, sendo essencial mapear e analisar os avanços e lacunas existentes. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo revisar a produção científica de teses e dissertações relacionadas ao público com surdocegueira no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Especial (PPGEEs) da UFSCar, identificando tendências, lacunas e contribuições. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica exploratória, realizada no Repositório Institucional da UFSCar (RI UFSCar), utilizando a palavra-chave “surdocegueira” e filtros que selecionaram trabalhos publicados entre 2014 e 2024 no PPGEEs. Após análise dos títulos, resumos e conteúdo integral dos textos, foram incluídos cinco estudos, sendo três dissertações e duas teses. Os resultados evidenciam a predominância de métodos qualitativos, como estudos de caso e revisões sistemáticas, abordando temas como desenvolvimento comunicativo, uso de materiais manipuláveis, alfabetização de pessoas com surdocegueira e organização de serviços educacionais. Apesar de suas contribuições valiosas, a concentração em poucos métodos sugere uma limitação que pode restringir a amplitude das perspectivas sobre o tema. Metodologias alternativas, como histórias de vida e etnografia, poderiam trazer contribuições significativas, permitindo explorar experiências pessoais e sociais de indivíduos com surdocegueira ao longo do tempo, bem como analisar interações e dinâmicas em contextos educacionais inclusivos. Além disso, a análise revelou lacunas importantes, como a necessidade de estudos sobre acessibilidade tátil para surdocegos sinalizantes e o impacto de políticas públicas voltadas à formação docente e ao apoio institucional. Conclui-se que é necessário diversificar as investigações e ampliar o suporte institucional para avançar na inclusão educacional de pessoas com surdocegueira, promovendo práticas pedagógicas mais eficazes e equitativas.

It shows the importance of the methodology of history of knowledge in order to achieve the major objectives of the projects and the relevance of five transversal and interdisciplinary vectors of study: 1. knowledge management; 2. philosophical transfers; 3. authorities and monopolies; 4. anonymity and authorship; 5. professionalization.
GÊNESE DO SUJEITO AGNOICO: INTERPRETAÇÕES PIAGETISTAS
Authors: Moreira Clarissa Silva , Leandro Eichler Marcelo
Published: February 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma proposta de explicação possível para a conduta negacionista, tentando construir um modelo de sujeito da ignorância, nomeado de “sujeito agnoico”. A terminologia tem origem no conceito da agnotologia, área que busca estudar a produção de ignorância, cunhada pelo historiador Robert N. Proctor. Para fundamentar a idealização do sujeito agnoico, nos baseamos na obra do autor Jean Piaget, através do seu modelo de sujeito epistêmico. Propomos, então, uma especulação em relação ao sujeito da ignorância, a fim de com preendê-la a partir de um contraste do que é entendido como conhecimento. Para a realização deste estudo, foram feitas entrevistas com renomados pesquisadores da obra piagetiana, a fim de obter a sua interpretação sobre a problemática da ignorância contemporânea e suas consequências para a coletividade. As entrevistas foram feitas de forma remota e gravadas para posterior revisão e análise, utilizando a metodologia da entrevista compreensiva. A análise das entrevistas foi feita através da comparação entre as respostas dos entrevistados e o levantamento dos argumentos e conceitos mais citados para discutir cada questão. Embora haja consenso entre todos os entrevistados de que há limites em uma explicação piagetista para fenômenos como o negacionismo e a desinformação, foram apontados alguns caminhos possíveis de elaboração que permitiram uma enunciação do sujeito agnoico.
