Geopolymer concrete is a sustainable material which can reuse industrial by-products and thereby minimize the emission of greenhouse gases during its production, unlike cement. This geopolymer concrete is found to develop high strength within a short period of ambient curing. It is observed that the addition of steel fibers enhances the strength and durability characteristics of this concrete. The paper highlights the engineering and durability properties of steel fiber-reinforced GGBS-dolomite geopolymer concrete and explains how the bond strength and impact resistance of GGBS-dolomite geopolymer concrete is improved by the inclusion of steel fibers.

The paper considers methods for concrete modification using low-layer graphene and grapheme oxide. It was found that graphene oxide and low-layer graphene obtained by liquid-phase shear exfoliation significantly increase the strength of concrete. In our opinion, low-layer graphene has better prospects since it is cheaper and its production technology is environmentally friendly. The viability and future of graphene largely depends on the availability of such a method that allows mass production of high-quality graphene at an affordable price. In this regard, liquid- phase separation of graphite with the formation of low-layer graphene, which can be used to modify concrete, turned out to be a competitive solution. The following main tasks were formulated in order to solve the organizational problems of low- layer grapheme industrial production: reducing the concentration of low-layer grapheme in concrete; increasing the concentration of low-layer graphene in suspension; developing an industrial technology for the production of concentrate with a high content of low- layer graphene; conducting full-scale experimental studies to determine the optimal concentration of low-layer graphene in concrete.

In this paper, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), a potent swarm intelligence technique that has been widely applied in numerous sectors, including the parameter identification of solar cells and PV modules, is discussed in this work. A unique modified WOA (MWOA) that introduces both a mutation method based on Levy flight and a local search mechanism of pattern search to better balance the exploration and exploitation of WOA. On the one hand, Levy flight can force the algorithm to abandon the local optimum and avoid stagnation; as a result, it can stop the algorithm from losing diversity and improve the algorithm's ability to conduct global searches. However, pattern search, a direct search technique, has a high convergence rate and good stability, which can increase local search efficiency. Therefore, the ability of WOA to find the optimal solution can be significantly increased by combining these two techniques. Additionally, MWOA may be used to determine the unknown parameters of two different types of PV modules under various light irradiance and temperature circumstances, as well as to estimate parameters in the single diode model (SDM), double diode model (DDM), and PV modules.

Gynecological cancers are among the most common cancers in women and hence are an important public health issue. Due to the lack of cancer awareness programs, variable pathology, and dearth of proper screening facilities in developing countries such as India, most women report at advanced stages, adversely affecting the prognosis and clinical outcomes. Ovarian cancer has emerged as one of the most common malignancies affecting women in India. Cervical cancer remains the second most common cancer in women after breast cancer. The causes of cervical cancer are HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), smoking, oral contraceptives, multiple pregnancies. It can be prevented in adult women with early detection tests, such as the HPV test or PAP test, followed by treatment. Early detection tests can identify pre-cancerous lesions in the cervix, which can then be treated before the lesion develops into cervical cancer. In our proposed work, we used Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms to find a model capable of diagnosing cervical cancer with high accuracy and sensitivity.

Authors: Silva Ivanda Maria Martins
Published: September 2023

No cenário da pandemia de Covid-19, as universidades tiveram que redesenhar modelos de formação docente, com vistas à incorporação de tecnologias digitais aplicadas à educação. Com os modelos de ensino remoto emergencial, ensino híbrido e as novas experiências com a modalidade de Educação a Distância, as demandas por formação docente são emergentes, considerando-se eixos como: letramentos digitais, inclusão digital, metodologias ativas e inovação pedagógica. Em diálogo com as demandas sociais da cultura digital, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal apresentar as experiências e práticas extensionistas vivenciadas no Projeto LABFOR: laboratório de formação docente - educação literária e inovações pedagógicas na formação de leitores críticos para cidadania e inclusão social, aprovado nos Editais BEXT 2020 e 2021 da UFRPE, com atividades de extensão apoiadas pelas tecnologias digitais. O projeto tem enfoque interdisciplinar e articula os eixos de linguagem e educação, considerando as abordagens de Bakhtin (2018) e Freire (2002) no tocante às práticas dialógicas discursivas e formativas nos processos de formação docente. As ações formativas estreitaram as conexões entre docentes, discentes e comunidade geral, tendo em vista desenhos interativos e integradores pautados no modelo TPACK- Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (MISHRA e KOEHLER, 2006).
TRAJETÓRIA ESCOLAR NO QUILOMBO CHÁCARA DAS ROSAS: DA INVISIBILIDADE À BUSCA PELA AFIRMAÇÃO
Authors: Malonn Carina , Fritsch Rosangela , Pasinato Darciel
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo, discutimos o tema das relações étnico-raciais na trajetória escolar de jovens quilombolas do Quilombo Chácara das Rosas, situado no município de Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Nosso objetivo consiste em compreender as experiências de quatro jovens quilombolas na escola, quanto aos conteúdos relacionados aos saberes produzidos pelo Quilombo e às situações de discriminação escolar em suas trajetórias no Ensino Fundamental. Para isso, fundamentamo-nos em teóricos que discutem os conceitos de racismo estrutural, discriminação na escola, interculturalidade crítica e colonialidade do saber e optamos pelo viés metodológico qualitativo exploratório, utilizando como ferramentas para produção de dados a entrevista compreensiva e a análise de conteúdo. Verificamos que a ausência de conhecimento dos estudantes concernente à contribuição histórica das populações quilombolas como povos tradicionais no Brasil incide sobre a autopercepção dos jovens quilombolas e corrobora com situações de discriminação e invisibilidade destes na escola. Além disso, os momentos de reflexão acerca da história local direcionados à afirmação de suas identidades ocorrem majoritariamente por meio da oralidade, no interior do Quilombo, e não no meio escolar. Percebemos, ainda, que os jovens possuem dificuldades em identificar o racismo em seus aspectos estruturais, relacionando-o apenas à injúria racial, o que contribui para a retroalimentação da invisibilidade étnico-racial na escola e reflete experiências vivenciadas para além do ambiente escolar.
EDUCAÇÃO INTERCULTURAL COMO POSSIBILIDADE DE RECONHECIMENTO E VALORIZAÇÃO DAS DIFERENÇAS

Published: September 2023

O Brasil é um país cuja construção histórica está marcada pela segregação e exclusão de diferentes grupos sociais, inferiorizados por uma perspectiva neocolonial de sociedade que, hegemônica e eurocêntrica, nega a estes coletivos direitos básicos, como a educação. Entretanto, nas últimas décadas, diversos grupos identitários, lutando contra os padrões hierarquizantes dessas relações de poder, fizeram valer na legislação diversas conquistas no que refere ao reconhecimento dos seus direitos sociais. Este artigo objetiva aprofundar o debate sobre a questão das diferenças e da diversidade na educação e sobre como elas podem ser abordadas nos ambientes educacionais de uma perspectiva inclusiva. Para tanto, analisa os conceitos de diferença e diversidade, em seus múltiplos sentidos e relações com a construção das identidades e categorização das diferenças. Na sequência, descreve as contribuições dos movimentos sociais para o reconhecimento das diversidades e diferenças na sociedade brasileira, bem como suas contribuições para avanços na legislação educacional. E, ao examinar a presença de diversidades e diferenças na estrutura educacional brasileira, argumenta sobre a perspectiva intercultural crítica enquanto possibilidade para problematizar a desigualdade nas relações de poder, questionar paradigmas educacionais padronizadores de corpos e mentes e, por conseguinte, criar condições para uma educação inclusiva, em diálogo permanente com a diversidade e de valorização das diferenças. Fundamentam o texto autores com perspectiva decolonial, dedicados ao debate sobre a construção das identidades a partir das diferenças, como Woodward (2000) Tadeu da Silva (2000) e Quijano (2005), além de estudiosos sobre a inclusão das diferenças na educação a partir de uma concepção intercultural crítica, como Sacristán (2002), Gomes (2007, 2011) e Candau (2012, 2020).

Authors: Silva Júnior Silvio Nunes da
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho objetiva investigar o lugar da diversidade na Base Nacional Comum Curricular para Linguagens e suas Tecnologias no ensino médio a partir da Análise Dialógica dos Discursos, enfatizando a presença e o emprego de tal tema nas competências gerais para a educação básica, no compromisso com a educação integral e nas competências específicas para linguagens e suas tecnologias. Em relação à base teórica, ancora-se nos pressupostos da Análise Dialógica dos Discursos (ADD) para definir questões como: língua/linguagem, discurso e tema; em concepções sobre diversidade, levando em conta vozes de diversas áreas do conhecimento; e na noção cultural de currículo, voltada à pedagogia crítica, para problematizar a perspectiva epistemológica da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). A metodologia da pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa e de vertente documental, visando o desenvolvimento de reflexões sobre a BNCC numa perspectiva sócio-histórica, levando em conta o método sociológico oriundo da ADD. Como resultados, viu-se que o lugar da diversidade na BNCC ainda é pequeno tendo em vista as múltiplas possibilidades de esmiuçar o conceito de diversidade na educação brasileira.

O presente trabalho versa sobre a BNCC e a construção das competências na educação básica no contexto da Crise Estrutural do Capital. O objetivo é analisar as orientações da Pedagogia das competências na BNCC como expressão de manifestação da profunda crise que se desdobra em todos os complexos sociais, inclusive o educacional. Como indicações metodológicas básicas para a realização desta pesquisa, guiar-nos-emos pelo materialismo histórico-dialético porque o método do marxismo clássico é o caminho da reconstrução do real por meio do pensamento e da exposição crítica desse próprio real. Propomos uma exposição teórico-bibliográfica e documental, por meio da análise da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). A Crise Estrutural do Capital se reflete na interferência de organismos internacionais na definição das políticas educacionais e na mercantilização da educação. A Pedagogia das Competências, presente na BNCC, é uma resposta a essa crise, articulada com as políticas de austeridade fiscal e coordenada pelos organismos internacionais.

Published: September 2023

Background: The Global Youth Tobacco Survey was conducted in Tunisia in 2001, 2007, 2010 and 2017. It is the only national survey that examined exposure to second-hand smoke and tobacco advertising among young people, and there has been no description of the trend. Aims: To describe cigarette use trends among Tunisian adolescents and their exposure to second-hand smoke and tobacco advertising from 2001 to 2017. Methods: The Global Youth Tobacco Survey is a school-based cross-sectional survey conducted by the World Health Organization. It uses a two-stage cluster sampling design to obtain a representative sample of students aged 13–15 years. A standardized questionnaire is used for data collection. We compared the prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of ever and current cigarette use, exposure to second-hand smoke in and outside the home, and exposure to tobacco advertising, over 4 years (2001, 2007, 2010 and 2017). Results: Current cigarette use decreased from 11.1% (95% CI: 10.0–12.3%) in 2001 to 7.7% (95% CI: 6.5–9.0%) in 2017 (P < 0.001). Exposure to second-hand smoke at home decreased from 62.5% (95% CI: 60.7–64.2%) to 46.7% (95% CI: 44.5–49.0%) over the same period (P < 0.001), but exposure outside the home increased from 65.4% (95% CI: 63.7–67.1%) in 2001 to 73.3% (95% CI: 71.2–75.3%) in 2017 (P < 0.001). Exposure to anti-tobacco messages in the media decreased from 87.8% (95% CI: 86.3–89.1%) in 2001 to 64.4% (95% CI: 62.2–66.5%) in 2017 (P < 0.001). Conclusion: While the prevalence of cigarette use and second-hand smoke exposure at home decreased, exposure outside the home increased. Efforts are needed to ensure compliance with smoke-free laws to decrease the prevalence of exposure to second-hand smoke

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Accessing services for this disorder is a worldwide challenge and requires innovative interventions. Aims: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of tele-collaborative care for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in primary health care centres in Dubai. Methods: Six trained physicians started collaborative care clinics across Dubai. Eligible children aged 6–12 years attending primary health care centres with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were randomly selected to receive telehealth collaborative care, or standard treatment. Baseline assessments were conducted using the Vanderbilt Behavioral Assessment Scale, the Columbia Impairment Scale, the Childhood Behavior Checklist, and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire. Waiting times and clinical and functional outcomes were measured in both groups and compared. Continuous variables were presented as means and standard deviations, categorical variables such as sex were presented as numbers and percentages, and continuous outcome variables were compared using the Student t-test. Results: Among the referred children (n = 112), 11 boys and 6 girls met the eligibility criteria (mean age 7.8 years). The dropout rate at 6 months in the control group was 80%, compared with 50% in the intervention group. The mean waiting time was significantly shorter in the intervention group (1.3 weeks) than the control group (7.1 weeks); P = 0.026. The mean difference in the Childhood Behavior Checklist total score over time was significantly higher in the intervention group (P = 0.042), but the mean difference in the Vanderbilt scale was not significant.

Authors: Kargar Shiva , Ansari-Moghaddam Alireza
Published: September 2023

Background: Smoking is an important risk factor for various diseases, especially cancer. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of cigarette and waterpipe smoking and its association with cancer incidence in Middle Eastern countries. Methods: We searched Medline, Google Scholar, and PubMed for original articles published between 2000 and 2020 using a combination of the terms smoking, cigarettes, waterpipe, hookah, tobacco, prevalence, Middle East, and the names of countries in the Middle East. Data were analysed using STATA version 14. We performed a random-effect meta-analysis to obtain pooled smoking prevalence estimates with 95% CI and used the I2 statistic to assess heterogeneity between studies. We conducted subgroup analyses by sex, country, residence, and age to explore the sources of heterogeneity, and used visual examination of the funnel plot and Egger’s test to identify publication bias. Results: We included 90 articles in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of current cigarette and waterpipe smoking in Middle East countries was 17.41% and 6.92%, respectively. The prevalence of current cigarette and waterpipe smoking among men was significantly higher than among women. In the past decade, the prevalence of cigarette smoking decreased by 7.21% but the prevalence of waterpipe smoking increased by 7.80%. The highest population attributable risk was shown for oesophageal (35.0%), lung (30.50%), and gastric (8.20%) cancers. Conclusion: Cigarette smoking is still a public health problem especially among adult men in the Middle East. About 30% of oesophageal and lung cancers in this region were attributed to cigarette smoking. The increasing trend in waterpipe smoking during the last decade is of concern. Prevention programmes are needed as a top priority for health interventions.

Published: September 2023

Background: Many countries are experiencing an increasing prevalence of childhood obesity and this needs to be carefully addressed. Aims: To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity and the sociodemographic factors and lifestyle risk behaviours associated with obesity among in-school children in Al Buraimi Governorate, Oman. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 714 male and female in-school children aged 6–17 years in 14 government schools in Al Buraimi Governorate, Oman, from April to July 2019. Data were collected on the sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle of the students using a self-administered questionnaire. The students’ height, weight and waist circumference were also measured. The BMI-for-age growth charts cutoff reference standards of the WHO were used to determine weight category. Central obesity was assessed by calculating the waist-to-height ratio, and the waist-toheight ratio cutoff of 0.50 was used to identify central obesity in both boys and girls. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21, involving both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: A total of 714 students were included. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 12.3% and 16.3% respectively, and 21.4% of the students had central obesity. Lifestyle risk behaviours were significantly associated with student’s age, sex and mother’s education (P < 0.05). Predictors of obesity were: unhealthy eating habits (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 5.20; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.50–10.70), sedentary screen-based activities (AOR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.05–2.26), inadequate night-time sleep duration (AOR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.34–1.00), sibling obesity (AOR = 2.24; 95% CI: 1.55–3.25), paternal obesity (AOR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.10–2.50) and maternal obesity (AOR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.10–2.45). Conclusion: There is a need for effective health promotion programmes targeting in-school children in Oman, as well as regular monitoring of lifestyle behaviours associated with overweight and obesity among the younger populations. Larger studies are needed to understand the predictors of overweight and obesity among in-school children in Oman and to design relevant school-based interventions to prevent obesity among young Omanis.

Background: Somalia reported repeated cholera outbreaks between 2017 and 2019. These outbreaks were attributed to multiple risk factors which made response challenging. Aims: To describe lessons from the preparedness and response to the cholera outbreaks in Somalia between 2017 and 2019. Methods: We reviewed outbreak response reports, surveillance records and preparedness plans for the cholera outbreaks in Somalia from January 2017 to December 2019 and other relevant literature. We present data on cholera-related response indicators including cholera cases and deaths and case fatality rates for the 3 years. Qualitative data were collected from 5 focus group discussions and 10 key informant interviews to identify the interventions, challenges and lessons learnt from the Somali experience. Results: In 2017, a total of 78 701 cholera cases and 1163 related deaths were reported (case fatality rate 1.48%), in 2018, 6448 cholera cases and 45 deaths were reported (case fatality rate 0.70%), while in 2019, some 3089 cases and 4 deaths were reported in Somalia (case fatality rate 0.13%). The protracted conflict, limited access to primary health care, and limited access to safe water and proper sanitation among displaced populations were identified as the main drivers of the repeated cholera outbreaks. Conclusions: Periodic assessment of response to and preparedness for potential epidemics is essential to identify and close gaps within the health systems. Somalia’s experience offers important lessons on preventing and controlling cholera outbreaks for countries experiencing complex humanitarian emergencies.
Kritik Atas Pandangan Inovasi-Kewirausahaan J. A. Schumpeter
Authors: Mulyana Rijal Assidiq
Published: September 2023

Schumpeter is one of the 20th century economists who laid brilliant ideas about entrepreneurship. He placed innovation as the soul of entrepreneurship. An individual is considered an entrepreneur when they have made innovation through new combinations that include several things, such as new products, new production methods, new markets, new sources of supply, and more effective organizational management. This study aims to conduct a critical review and commentary on Schumpeter's ideas. In practice, Schumpeter's ideas about innovation have limitations. The author sees these limitations in several aspects: 1. The innovation Schumpeter referred to may only occur in established industries or those with strong economic capital, meaning that innovation only occurs among large-scale business players, but in practice, entrepreneurs do not necessarily have large-scale business operations from the beginning. 2. Schumpeter emphasizes the functions of innovation too much but overlooks the potential risks that business players may face when carrying out innovative functions. 3. Business players who manage their business, business products, production methods with traditional and outdated mindsets and methods may emerge, and these types of business players cannot be recognized based on Schumpeter's theory.

This review discusses the safety concerns associated with diving while using psychotropic medication and the limited literature available on the topic. Despite the risks, some divers continue to dive while taking these medications, and their reasons for doing so are unclear. The exact mechanisms of action of these drugs in hyperbaric environments are poorly understood. While current standards and advice for fitness-to-dive assessments are based on limited evidence and expert opinion, developing evidence-based strategies could improve patient care and optimise diving safety. This review appraises relevant literature in diving medicine and provides clinical perspectives for diving physicians conducting fitness-to-dive assessments on patients using psychotropic medication.

Ennek egyik része az Excel Morzsák. A készítés menetéről és tapasztalatairól írok.
Formatív értékelés a statisztikaoktatás gyakorlatában
Authors: Bánhalmi Árpád
Published: September 2023

A Budapesti Gazdasági Egyetem Külkereskedelmi Karán a kezdeti időkben a statisztika tárgyak előkészítésekor és tervezésekor kevésbé került fókuszba az értékelés formatív funkciójának a tanulásszervezés folyamatába való tudatosabb, koherensebb beillesztése és ezáltal ennek az értékelési forma lehetőségeinek a kihasználása. Bevezetése viszont látványos teljesítmény- és attitűdjavulást eredményezett. A tanulmány bemutatja, hogy milyen hatást várhatunk el egy jól működő formatív értékelési folyamattól, és arra hívja fel a figyelmet, hogy a statisztika tárgyak curriculumtervezésénél vegyük figyelembe ezt a lehetőséget.

Intrusion detection systems are used to detect attacks on a network. Machine learning (ML) approaches have been widely used to build such intrusion detection systems (IDSs) because they are more accurate when built from a very large and representative dataset. Recently, one of the benchmark datasets that are used to build ML-based intrusion detection models is the CICIDS2017 dataset. The data set is contained in eight groups and was collected from the Data Set & Repository of the Canadian Institute of Cyber Security. The data set is available in both PCAP and net flow formats. This study used the net flow records in the CIDIDS2017 dataset, as they were found to contain newer attacks, very large, and useful for traffic analysis. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques were used to reveal various characteristics of the dataset. The general objective is to provide more insight into the nature, structure, and issues of the data set so as to identify the best ways to use it to achieve improved ML-based IDS models. Furthermore, some of the open problems that can arise from the use of the dataset in any machine learning-based intrusion detection systems are highlighted and possible solutions are briefly discussed. The EDA techniques used revealed important relationships between the input variables and the target class. The study concluded that the EDA can better influence the decision about future IDS research using the dataset.

Theoretical justification and creation of petrophysical models of residual water saturation and effective porosity of a thin-layer reservoir
Authors: Samokhvalov N.I. , Kovalenko K.V.
Published: September 2023

The paper deals with theoretical justification and mathematical construction of analytical petrophysical models of residual water saturation and effective porosity of granular reservoirs taking into account the presence of fine-dispersed cement fraction (dispersed clay content), clay interlayers (laminated clay content) and bound water of the rock matrix. Models are given for two mechanisms of residual water saturation formation: in the case of unchanged water-holding capacity of the rock matrix (volume of bound water of the matrix does not change when the matrix vessel is filled with cement) and for the case in which an increase in the aggregate cement content leads to a decrease in the volume of bound water of the matrix. Such models are necessary for solving the system of petrophysical equations describing the methods of well logging in order to determine the porosity and permeability continuously along the section taking into account the micro-layering of sediments, which, in turn, increases the informativeness of the interpretation results.

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada 100 pelaku UMKM yang ada di Kota Mataram. Adapun teknik analisis yang digunakan yakni teknik analisis kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis menggunakan software SmartPLS versi 3.2.9. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif dan saling mempengaruhi antara Financial Literacy, Access to Finance dan Sustainability. Teori Resource Based View (RBV), Knowledge Based View (KBV), dan Pecking Order dapat digunakan dalam menjelaskan hubungan antara financial literacy, access to finance dan sustainability. Sumber daya tidak berwujud seperti financial literacy dianggap mampu membuat pelaku UMKM untuk lebih terampil dalam mengelola dan membuat keputusan keuangan sehingga mempengaruhi keberlanjutan usaha (business sustainability). Selain itu, semakin tinggi tingkat financial literacy, maka semakin tinggi pula kesempatan pelaku UMKM dalam mengakses keuangan pada lembaga perbankan. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini access to finance secara parsial memiliki peran mediasi dalam mempengaruhi sustainability apabila didukung oleh tingkat financial literacy yang baik dari pelaku UMKM.
