QUEM DISSE QUE “OS ÍNDIOS ESTÃO ACABANDO”? Respostas Indígenas ao Discurso do “Fim dos Índios” no Ensino de História
Authors: SILVA  KALINA VANDERLEI
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo procuramos contribuir com o debate acerca da presença do discurso que prega o “fim dos índios” no ensino de História do Brasil, observando como ele está sendo reproduzido por estudantes e como vem sendo contestado por escritores e professores indígenas contemporâneos. Para tanto, procedemos a uma leitura decolonial, epistemológica e discursiva da historiografia e de estudos monográficos realizados sobre ensino de História em diferentes regiões brasileiras a partir de autores como Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Eni Orlandi e Matthew Restall. Questionamos o discurso do “índio genérico” e o dos “índios estão acabando”, bem como sua presença e continuidade no ensino básico brasileiro e a própria natureza da produção de conhecimento histórico, que reproduzem imagens racistas dos indígenas.
DA TRADIÇÃO AO MODERNO, DO PRIVADO AO PÚBLICO: linguagens políticas, metáforas e mediações político-culturais em Carlos María Ramírez na construção da nação republicana uruguaia no oitocentos
Authors: DIANA ELVIS DE ALMEIDA
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, buscamos analisar a atuação pública do intelectual oitocentista uruguaio Carlos María Ramírez (1848-1898), mais especificamente como esse escritor, por meio do uso de linguagens, metáforas e de suas práticas político-sociais diversas, visou à ampliação de uma esfera pública nesse país, em meio à construção da nação republicana ao longo da segunda metade do século XIX. Nesse sentido, entendemos que, em Ramírez, os elementos necessários para o engendramento de uma organização política moderna no Uruguai do século XIX provinham, também, da tradição e do passado (e/ou do âmbito privado) para se fazerem compreensíveis ao povo de modo a propor o Estado, a nação e a esfera pública uruguaios modernos, e consistiram, portanto, em uma forma de mediação político-cultural e intelectual.
POR OUTRAS NARRATIVAS DA INDEPENDÊNCIA: a vida de Maria Felipa em cordel - experiências no ensino de história na escola estadual Professora Anésia (Belém-PA, 2022)
Authors: MENEZES NETO GERALDO MAGELLA DE
Published: July 2023

O ano de 2022 foi marcado pelas celebrações do bicentenário da independência do Brasil. Tal efeméride nos motivou a repensar as narrativas trazidas pelos livros didáticos. Ao invés de uma narrativa tradicional, que prioriza os fatos políticos, sentimos a necessidade de uma abordagem da independência que levasse em conta questões étnico-raciais. Nesse sentido, o artigo traz um relato de experiência no ensino de História em uma turma do 8º ano do ensino fundamental na Escola Estadual Professora Anésia, em Belém, no qual utilizamos para trabalhar o conteúdo da independência a literatura de cordel sobre a vida de Maria Felipa, produzido por Jarid Arraes. Maria Felipa era uma mulher negra que participou das guerras contra os portugueses na Bahia, liderando o seu povo na luta pela independência. A abordagem da vida de Felipa possibilitou aos alunos estabelecerem conexões entre as lutas e desafios da população negra no passado e no presente.

Root values in geography textbooks
Authors: TÜRKER Abdullah , DÜNDAR Erkan , SÖZCÜ Ufuk
Published: July 2023

In the regulation of social life and the acquisition of values, which is one of the requirements of being an individual, the education that starts in the family should be continued in schools. For this purpose, ten values were included as root values in the Geography Course Curriculum, which was updated in 2018 as in all curricula. This research, was conducted by document analysis, one of the qualitative research approaches. A total of seven geography textbooks at the secondary education level, which were approved as textbooks by the Ministry of National Education and which were open to access via the Education Information Network (EBA), were examined and subjected to descriptive analysis. In order to increase the reliability of the research, direct quotations were made from the points where the root values were mentioned in the textbook. As a result of the research, it was seen that root values were emphasised in a total of 274 points in geography textbooks. While the grade level in which the root values were most frequently mentioned was 10th grade, the most repeated root values were responsibility and patriotism. The least emphasised root values in the textbooks were honesty, justice and patience. The unit with the highest number of root values is natural systems. In the light of the research results, it is recommended to increase the number of outcomes associated with root values in the curriculum and to give more priority to root values in the review and acceptance processes of textbooks.

L'élevage ovin au Shaba (Zaïre) : situation actuelle
Authors: Huart A. , Matatu B. , Kabongo N.
Published: July 2023

Le niveau de productivité de l'élevage ovin au Shaba (Zaïre) est étudié en fonction de quatre techniques d'élevage, qu'il s'agisse du mouton en milieu rural ou d'unités plus intensives. La production pondérale par mère à 9 mois s'établit à 4,5 kg en élevage traditionnel, contre 23 kg en élevage dit de ranching et 30 kg en élevage intensif. La productivité semble dépendre étroitement de l'alimentation dont la qualité est principalement conditionnée par la gestion des parcours (feu + rotation). Vient ensuite un programme rigoureux de vermifugation et enfin les conditions de logement aussi peu contraignantes que possible. Le système d'élevage ovin en ranching (gardiennage) et en association avec l'élevage bovin apparaît comme le plus intéressant pour la région.

Towards a Deeper Understanding of the Graduate Student and Faculty-Advisor Relationship
Authors: Chukwu Agbara Smart , Walker Keith
Published: July 2023

The relationship between graduate students and faculty members is a topic of great interest in higher education. While there is a wealth of theoretical and empirical research on the subject, discussions overlook the social dynamics that shape these relationships. This article seeks to fill this gap by presenting a conceptual framework that considers crucial components, including interpretations, reciprocal roles and responsibilities, relational factors, and effects, in analysing graduate student-faculty advisor relationships. By exploring these elements, the article offers a comprehensive framework that accounts for the nuances and limitations of these relationships and provides recommendations for best practices.
Teacher Education Students’ Implicit Racial Attitudes and Interpersonal Attribution of Racialized Student Behavior
Authors: Lorenzetti Nicole , Johnson Helen
Published: July 2023

Teachers have been shown to hold lower behavioral expectations for Black students than for their White peers, and the mechanism underlying this may be teachers’ implicit attitudes about their Black students based on causal attributions. This study examined this connection, predicting that teacher education students (TES) who scored higher on the racial implicit bias test would attribute internal causality and controllability to explain challenging behaviors in the classroom more frequently for Black students than for White students. 233 teacher education students completed the racial bias section of the Implicit Assessment Test and a set of questions assessing causal attribution based on four vignettes depicting student misbehaviors in a classroom setting. We found that regardless of implicit bias, TES were more likely to believe that Black students had an internal locus of causality and controllability than their White counterparts when presented with similar instances of challenging behavior. These results support the need for teacher preparation programs to address how these internal beliefs of teacher education students affect what they learn about managing their expectations around students’ behavioral regulation and to what they attribute these behaviors.

O paradigma da casa própria e o direito à moradia
Authors: Coura Lívia Maria de Souza Almeida , Stephan Ítalo
Published: July 2023

O direito à moradia e o sonho da casa própria deveriam ser questões complementares, porém se mostram contraditórias quando, na busca pela concretização desse sonho, muitas famílias renunciam a direitos como acesso a serviços públicos básicos, responsáveis por integrar estes cidadãos ao meio social. O presente artigo, apresenta um estudo sobre a representatividade do direito a casa própria para o trabalhador, e o papel do Estado na sua garantia.  Destaca o fato de que a política habitacional se pautou em tratar esse direito social de maneira mercantilizada, subordinada aos interesses do mercado imobiliário. Utiliza-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, onde se encontra base para confirmar que a garantia do direito à moradia é encarada de forma indissociável da propriedade da casa.
Favela da Maré
Authors: Martins Gizele , Paiva Raquel
Published: July 2023

A proposta do trabalho é trazer um estudo de caso sobre os veículos de comunicação comunitária na Favela da Maré. Trata-se de um estudo baseado em observação participante, entrevistas e análise dos veículos e sua atuação. A favela da Maré, de acordo com o Censo Maré 2010, é formada por um conjunto de 16 favelas e com população aproximada de 140 mil moradores. Para um espaço que historicamente sempre foi deixado de lado por todos os governos, a comunicação comunitária representa um importante instrumento de mobilização social e também de intervenção efetiva na vida quotidiana dos moradores. O trabalho irá apresentar a atuação dos veículos ao longo dos anos, reforçando os conceitos de “comunicação gerativa” na medida em que tem na proposta da comunicação comunitária a perspectiva e a atuação para a mudança social. O trajeto histórico finaliza com as novas formas de mobilização social que atuam desde a pandemia do coronavírus, em março de 2020.
“Mande uma mensagem quando chegar”
Authors: Cerasoli Josianne Francia
Published: July 2023

As reflexões propostas neste ensaio são atravessadas pelos estudos históricos sobre o urbano e pela vivência em cidades, cujos espaços moldados majoritariamente a partir de um olhar masculino universalizante parecem tensionar constantemente o transitar de corpos femininos. A partir de indagações pautadas pela cine-escrita de Agnès Varda, pela errância literária de Lauren Elkin e pela geografia feminista de Leslie Kern, são exploradas dimensões da vida urbana nas quais a tensão e o silêncio associados à presença feminina figuram como se fossem naturais. Uma contrapartida propositiva se explicita a contrapelo: a aposta em cidades que sejam acolhedoras e acessíveis, capazes de abrir possibilidades para sustentar relacionamentos que sustentem respeito e solidariedade. No ensaio, espaços públicos e atitudes que aparentemente favorecem a camaradagem masculina e/ou a invisibilidade da mulher são contrapostos a táticas femininas que forjam certa percepção de invulnerabilidade no apoio mútuo (“mande uma mensagem quando chegar”). Por fim, propõe-se desembaraçar paradigmas que ao mesmo tempo constroem nossas cidades e alimentam sexismos, racismos, preconceitos, desrespeitos e iolências naturalizados na experiência urbana para podermos imaginar e abrir espaços para outros futuros urbanos.

Published: July 2023

O presente artigo aborda os discursos produzidos pela grande mídia sobre o coronavírus nas favelas, buscando compreender como e quais sentidos emergiram e foram legitimados na primeira onda da pandemia entre o período de março e agosto de 2020. Para isso, o estudo realizou a análise dos discursos de parte do material da seção “Coronavírus nas Favelas” da plataforma virtual do icionário de Favelas Marielle Franco, Wiki Favelas, com mais de 700 notícias sobre a pandemia nas periferias brasileiras. Para este artigo, foram utilizadas matérias cuja categoria (já elencada pela plataforma) remetia às questões de desigualdade e vulnerabilidade. Os resultados apontaram, obretudo, para a intensa relação da crise sanitária com os recortes de raça e classe: desde a demonstração do caráter precário das moradias nas favelas, passando pelas dificuldades e/ou impossibilidade de execução de medidas sanitárias nessas localidades, a ausência ou ineficiência dos governos em garantir segurança econômica para as famílias menos favorecidas, bem como a presentação dos problemas raciais que impediram um combate ao vírus igualitário e as estratégias buscadas pelos moradores para fazer frente aos riscos da Covid-19.

Published: July 2023

Los granulomas infecciosos y no infecciosos del encéfalo constituyen un constante desafío en su diagnóstico, dado que, desde el punto de vista clínico, muestran síntomas y signos, exámenes auxiliares e imágenes de características muy similares, razón por la cual demoran el tratamiento y demandan un diagnóstico histopatológico certero. Solo en estos últimos tiempos, con avances de la experiencia clínica, la epidemiología y las nuevas técnicas de resonancia magnética, se vislumbra la posibilidad de un diagnóstico no invasivo. Las formas infecciosas se encuentran en su mayoría en regiones de América Latina, Asia y África, aun cuando, debido a las migraciones y la globalización, también se están presentando de manera creciente en el resto del mundo. El presente trabajo describe las entidades que producen los granulomas más frecuentes y el apoyo diagnóstico que actualmente dispensan las imágenes de resonancia magnética.
Vacuum Expansion and Collapse Inside an Infinite Shell
Authors: Laforet Christopher
Published: July 2023

The FRW model of cosmology assumes a Universe with uniform pressure and density everywhere in space at a given time. But at the largest scales, the Universe has a web-like structure surrounding large voids, violating these assumptions. Furthermore, a given region of spacetime is describable only by a single metric and therefore it cannot be that the Universe is modelled as an FRW perfect fluid since this would be the incorrect description of both the web and the voids. The cosmic web must be described by metrics with non-zero energy-momentum tensors with non-uniform pressure and density describing the matter within it. Therefore, the model of cosmology describing the expansion of the Universe must be a vacuum solution describing the empty spaces in the Universe surrounded by an infinite, massive shell (the surrounding Universe). The internal Schwarzschild metric is the model for these vacua. A detailed analysis of falling frames in the external metric in Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates shows that the source of the Schwarzschild metric is at the event horizon, a location/time of infinite density, not at the singularity, as it is currently assumed. The spatial homogeneity of the internal metric is demonstrated by visualizing the geometry in Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates (visualized in 1+2 dimensions) as well as examining the Killing vectors for the internal spacetime. Using the coordinate age of the Universe and transition redshift, this predicts the accelerated expansion, the Hubble diagram fits currently available cosmological data, and it gives a Hubble constant H0 of 71.6km/s/Mpc. The angular term of the metric describes the relativistic kinematic precession effect known as Thomas Precession which can be interpreted as spin about the time dimension.
Energy Based True Definition of Cosmic Red Shift and Quantum Halt of the Current Universe Having Light Speed Rotation
Authors: Seshavatharam U. V. Satya , Lakshminarayana S.
Published: July 2023

We appeal the science community to review the basic definition of wavelength dependent cosmic red shift. We would like to emphasize the point that, the true cosmic red shift must be defined as the ratio of loss in energy of photon to the energy of photon at galaxy. In terms of wavelength, photon red shift must be defined as the ratio of change in wavelength to the observed wavelength of photon. Considering the recent paper pertaining to cosmic halt authored by Cosmin Andrei, Anna Ijjas, and Paul J. Steinhardt and reviewed by Saul Perlmutter, in this paper we propose a very simple model of the universe having early stage light radius of proton seems to be equal to half the product of reduced Planck’s constant and current speed expansion and current stage quantum halt accompanied by continuous light speed rotation. In this context, representing early cosmic expansion and rotation as an outward spiral, it seems possible to consider Hubble’s law as a representation of current cosmic light speed rotation having no further expansion. To understand the current cosmic halt, we are proposing very simple and very strange atomic and nuclear relations that constitute Hubble parameter and gravitational constant. Qualitatively and quantitatively, gravitational potential energy of proton and electron separated by a distance of root mean square radius of proton. Based on uncertainty condition, it needs further study, observations and analysis. We have extended our analysis towards the microscopic coupling constants. Thus, instead of considering the cosmological variable nature of elementary physical constants, we consider the case of current or nearby cosmic halt by means of considering the equality of current cosmic variable physical constants having similar dimensions of fixed elementary physical constants and their combinations. In this connection, it is very interesting to note that, our estimated cosmic age of (2/H0) is matching with recent estimates proposed by Rajendra P Gupta and published in MNRAS.
Flexural Strengthening of Stone Masonry Walls Using Textile-Reinforced Sarooj Mortar
Authors: AlSaidy Abdullah , Al-Busaidi Manal , El-Gamal Sherif , Abu Sohail Kazi
Published: July 2023

Most historical buildings and structures in Oman were built using unreinforced stone masonry. These structures have deteriorated due to ageing of materials, environmental degradation, and lack of maintenance. This research investigates the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of local building materials and the results of an experimental study on the out-of-plane bending effectiveness of an innovative strengthening technique applied to existing masonry walls. The technique consists of the application on one face of the walls of a basalt textile-reinforced sarooj mortar (TRM). Four-point bending tests of full-scale masonry samples (1000 mm width, 2000 mm height, and 350 mm depth) were carried out using one unreinforced specimen and three different cases of reinforced specimens. The performance of unreinforced and reinforced specimens was analyzed and compared. The strengthened specimens were able to resist moments of out-of-plane bending 2.5 to 3 times greater than those of unreinforced specimen (160%- 233% increase). Moreover, the strengthened walls were able to sustain higher deformations (deflections) than the unreinforced specimen ranging from 20%-130%. The results showed that using TRM was effective for the out-of-plane strengthening of stone masonry using a local material (sarooj) that is compatible with existing stone masonry building materials.
Multi-Objective Meta-Heuristic Dynamic Load Balancing and Resource Allocation Approach in Cloud Computing Using Harris Hawk Optimization Algorithm (MDLB-HHO)
Authors: Dasan Paulraj , Thirumaaran Sethukarasi , Monickaraj Vigilson Prem , Subramani Neelakandan
Published: July 2023

The ultimate aim of dynamic load balancing in cloud computing systems is to maximise the efficiency with which resources are utilised and workloads are distributed. Given that load balancing is a multi-objective process and that response time is a priority, the Harris hawk optimisation (HHO) algorithm was developed as a unique solution for dynamic load balancing. Based on burden distribution and resource utilisation, the HHO algorithm is responsible for dynamically assigning workloads to virtual machines (VMs). Through iterative interactions and position updates, the hawks investigate the solution space, determine the optimal method for dividing the work, and adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the workload. The HHO algorithm has been demonstrated to be effective and efficient in the management of dynamic load balancing via a series of experimental evaluations and comparisons with other load-balancing approaches. These discoveries have led to quicker response times and more efficient resource utilisation. Utilising the collaborative search behaviour of hawks, this technique provides a solution that is both practicable and effective for addressing load balancing concerns in dynamic scenarios.

Published: July 2023

Round bodies in spirochete cultures have been a controversial subject since their description seven decades ago. We report the existence of round bodies (spherical cells) in cultures of Mucispirillum schaedleri, a spiral bacterium phylogenetically distant from spirochetes. Furthermore, when grown in biofilms, M. schaedleri demonstrates a unique morphology known as cording, which has been previously described only in mycobacteria. Thus, M. schaedleri has two distinct features, each previously thought to be unique to two different phylogenetically distant groups of bacteria.
Explaining the Process of Caregiving by Sandwich Generation
Authors: Pashazade Hakime , Maarefvand Masoomeh , Abdi Kianoush , Abolfathi Momtaz Yadollah
Published: July 2023

The sandwich generation caregivers provide simultaneous care for multiple generations. Caregiving is a dynamic process, and each generation has its unique set of needs. Moreover, studies have indicated a growing population within this group. However, despite extensive research efforts, the caregiving practices employed by the sandwich generation remain inadequately explained. Therefore, the objective of this study was to shed light on the caregiving practices offered by the sandwich generation. The grounded theory approach was selected as the conceptual framework for investigating the research objective. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were utilized to recruit 18 participants from the sandwich generation. The data collected through interviews and observations were analyzed using the 2015 version of Corbin and Strauss methodology. The findings revealed that sandwich generation caregivers are influenced by prominent personality traits, issues related to the elderly, and dependencies and interdependencies within the caregiving process. Sandwich caregivers employ a range of strategies influenced by intervening and background factors. Throughout this process, caregivers encounter both positive and negative consequences. Consequently, policymakers and planners should prioritize the establishment and expansion of support systems for caregiving.

Published: July 2023

Many parameters and complex boundaries are involved in the spatial arrangement of an under-ground powerhouse for a hydropower station, which requires reference to many relevant cases and specifications. However, in practical applications, retrieving relevant cases or specifications is difficult, and there is a lack of knowledge of cascading logic among design parameters. For this question, a targeted knowledge graph based on knowledge graph management technology is established to support subsequent applications. This paper proposes a new concept of con-structing a knowledge graph for building information modeling (BIM) underground power-houses of hydropower stations. Firstly, the ontology skeleton of hydropower station spatial ar-rangement design, which represents the knowledge organization structure of the knowledge graph, is reconstructed by carefully analyzing the requirements for intelligent modeling of un-derground powerhouses. A large amount of unstructured data is identified based on optical character recognition (OCR) technology and is divided into words to extract correlation knowledge based on THULAC. In the next step, the knowledge triad of the spatial arrangement of the underground powerhouse is extracted based on ChatGPT and stored in a Neo4j knowledge base to build a knowledge graph. Finally, the knowledge graph is serviced to realize the query of knowledge and parameter recommendation to assist the digital intelligent design of spatial arrangement of an underground powerhouse of pumped storage hydropower stations.

Diversitas sosiokultural adalah sebuah  konsep  yang  menggambarkan  keberagaman  masyarakat  dan kebudayaan.  Dalam  Kurikulum  2013  (K-13)  keberagaman  itu  dilihat  dari  dua  aspek  penting,  yakni multikultural  dan  gender.  Oleh  sebab  itu  pendidikan  multikultural dan gender  menjadi hidden kurikulum yang harus diajarkan guru kepada anak didik, sehingga keberagaman budaya dan perbedaan peran berdasarkan jenis kelamin bisa diminimalisir oleh guru dalam proses pendidikan sehingga tidak berpotensi  menimbulkan  konflik  dan  persoalan  di  sekolah.  Pada  Kurikulum  Merdeka  diversitas sosiokultural   tetap   menjadi   perhatian   serius   sehingga   menjadi   bagian   dalam   pengembangan Kurikulum    Merdeka.    Konsep    deversitas    sosiokultural    diterapkan    pada    pembelajaran    yang berdiferensiasi,  yakni  sebuahproses  pembelajaran  yang  mencoba  memperhatikan dan melayani kebutuhan  belajar  anak  yang  berbeda  beda  sesuai  dengan  karakteristik  masing  masingny

The advent of endoscopic technology has facilitated the evolution of endoscopic techniques and broadened the indications of fully endoscopic spine surgery. Endoscopic cervical spinal surgery is currently effective for treating herniated intervertebral discs, foraminal stenosis, and central canal stenosis. Although growing evidence has revealed the safety and advantages of endoscopic approaches, fully endoscopic spine surgical procedures remain challenging and have a steep learning curve, especially in the cervical spine. The anatomical features and pathologic patterns of the cervical spine also affect the application of endoscopic approaches. In this review, the authors introduce the successful points of fully endoscopic cervical spine surgery.
Comparison of Postoperative Bone Healing in Patients With Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy and Microscopic Lumbar Discectomy
Authors: So Jae-Young , Park Jeong-Yoon
Published: July 2023

Objective: Unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar discectomy and microscopic lumbar discectomy are typical surgical treatments for spinal disease that are performed in different environment. This study investigated differences in bone healing at the postoperative laminecrtomy site between 2 surgical treatments performed in different environments.Methods: From January 2018 to June 2021, 66 patients who underwent laminectomy at Department of Neurosurgery, Gangnam Severance Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were matched for sex, age, body mass index, bone mineral density, and follow-up duration at a 1:2 matching ratio and were divided into the UBE group (22 patients) and the microscopic discectomy group (44 patients). We investigated the site of laminectomy shown on preoperative and postoperative x-ray images using ImageJ software. The factors related to bone healing were also investigated.Results: The average bone healing area was 69.59 mm2 in the UBE group and 44.56 mm2 in the microscopic discectomy group, constituting a significant difference (p = 0.022). The remaining laminectomy area was significantly lower in the UBE group than in the microscopic discectomy group (13.91 mm2 vs. 53.84 mm2, p < 0.001). The bone recovery ratio in the UBE group was 85.42%, compared to 51.33% in the microscopic discectomy group, which was a significant difference (p < 0.001). The primary laminectomy area, bone healing during 6 months, and clinical outcomes were not significantly different between the 2 groups.Conclusion: Compared with the microscopic discectomy group, the UBE group had a larger bone healing area and a higher bone recovery ratio for patients with lumbar discectomy. These findings suggest that preserving normal structures is more feasible during UBE than during microscopic surgery.
Nitrogen Enriched Organic fertilizer (NEO) elevates nitrification rates shortly after application but has no lasting effect on nitrification in agricultural soils

In the face of population growth, rising food production costs, limited arable land availability, and farmland environmental degradation, novel technologies are crucial to bolster the resilience of global agri-food systems. Nitrogen-Enriched Organic fertilizer (NEO) is produced using a new method, where dinitrogen (N2) is captured from the air through a plasma process and mixed with bio-based fertilizers as nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-). This process leads to solid slurry acidification and a high NO2- content, potentially yielding toxic inorganic or organic N compounds. In this study, we investigated the impact of NEO, derived from cattle slurry and biogas digestate, on soil nitrification, which involves the conversion of NH4+ to NO2- and NO3- by aerobic autotrophic bacteria and archaea. We investigated and compared the potential nitrification rates in soil samples from two agricultural trials (cereal and grass) treated with NEO and other fertilizers after two consecutive fertilization years. Additionally, we examined the immediate nitrification response to NEO through 72-hour bottle incubations. Our results revealed that NEO significantly stimulated nitrification rates in agitated soil slurries, regardless of the feedstock used, surpassing rates observed in ammonium controls. Similarly, this pattern was also observed in loosely placed soil samples, with high nitrification rates occurring with NEO and ammonium chloride. Surprisingly, the differences in nitrification rates between field-fertilized soil samples were minimal and inconsequential, suggesting that while NEO exhibits a rapid boost in nitrification rates shortly after application, this effect is not sustained ≈ six months after fertilization under field conditions. Consequently, NEO indicates its potential as an environmentally benign fertilizer without adversely affecting soil nitrifier communities.
Perceptions and Experiences of Parents and Teachers of Children With Special Needs: an Exploratory Study on Quality of Life

Published: July 2023

Background
The rationale of the study was to assess the perceptions and experiences of parents and teachers of children with special needs that affect their quality of life.
Methods
A qualitative exploratory research design using focus group discussions was selected for this study and carried out over a period of three months. The six domains of the WHO “Quality of life framework WHOQOL-100” had been used as a guiding principle for data collection. Purposive sampling technique was used to conduct six focus group discussions with 30 parents and 24 teachers of children with special needs at the Ida Rieu School for Deaf, Karachi and data was analyzed manually.
Results
The experiences and perspectives were captured in six major themes; 1) Social Dimensions of Parents 2) Personal insight 3) Deteriorating health 4) Inadequate capacity in care-giving 5) Financial constraints and 6) Perceptions about inclusive education for children with special needs. Parents and teachers of children with special needs shared negative impacts on physical and psychological health, economic hardships leading to teacher attrition, presence of depression, low societal support leading to social exclusion of parents, and lastly unpreparedness of the system for inclusive education.
Conclusion
Respondents’ quality of life was significantly affected by the special needs of children. Parents and teachers had important insights regarding those aspects of care-giving affecting their quality of life negatively and positively. Interventions aimed to address these issues may create positive impacts on the lives of these caregivers. The most effective ways of this are supportive social structure through formation of parental support groups and provision of school psychologists within special schools. Training for teachers to teach such children, coupled with better salary and benefit packages could enhance professional motivation and improve teacher retention.

The effectiveness of data communication links in a wireless communication network is an essential factor to be considered. Many applications in an agricultural farm need technology to facilitate significantly and increase productivity in planting. This paper presents the performance extension of wireless mesh sensor network communication in a grape farm. The performance of distance extension for data communication in an agriculture farm is a central topic to be designed. Therefore, the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) demonstrates the strength of the communication link in an outdoor condition. This article adopts a wireless module of XCTU, a free multi-platform application designed to enable developers to interact with Digi RF modules through a simple-to-use graphical interface embedded with a microcontroller device to process data transmission tests. The results found that the XBee-S2 and XBee-Pro tags have an RSSI tested for -71.6 dBm and -25.9 dBm, respectively. However, the Xbee-Pro still had a higher RSSI test compared to XBee-S2 by 63.83%. However, in the application, the entrepreneur needs to consider which technology is a match to be used in their business correctly.
