Published: December 2024

Introduction and objective: A plant-based diet is being adopted by an increasing number of people worldwide. Its health benefits have been described in numerous scientific studies. Unfortunately, an improperly balanced diet that excludes animal-derived products can, through various mechanisms, lead to deficiencies and disruptions in the functioning of many systems in the body. This review paper aims to present and summarize the findings and current literature on the impact of a plant-based diet on the menstrual cycle and female fertility.
Brief description of the state of knowledge: There is insufficient research on how minerals and vitamins influence the biochemical processes of the menstrual cycle and related symptoms. While nutrient deficiencies in plant-based diets are widely discussed, most studies focus on general health rather than the reproductive system, which is crucial for hormonal balance and fertility. This highlights the need for more research to improve our understanding of the female reproductive and endocrine systems and ensure better care for women.
Methods: A  literature  review  was  conducted  using  PubMed  and  Google  Scholar  with search terms like "impact of plant-based diet", "menstrual cycle disorders", "causes of female infertility", "deficiencies in vegans and vegetarians" and related variations. Articles published within the last five years were prioritized.
Conclusions: A properly followed plant-based diet, supported by supplementation, has a positive effect on the female reproductive system, without causing menstrual cycle disorders or infertility. Unfortunately, the more exclusions present in the diet, the more likely it is to cause deficiencies in minerals and vitamins. Inadequate levels of these nutrients can lead to abnormalities in the female reproductive system, both in laboratory tests and in symptoms experienced by women.

Introduction and Purpose of Research.
There are diverse types of insulin pumps available, such as traditional pumps with tubing, tubeless pumps or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, pumps with automated insulin suspension. Diabetes complications lead to raised death rates, and overall decreased quality of life among patients. The aim of the study is to examine the impact of insulin pump usage including the effects on glycemic control, quality of life and limitations in daily life. Our work aims to emphasize the importance of using appropriate therapies in patients with diabetes.
Material and Methods.
The review was based on the analysis of materials collected in the Google Scholar and,, PubMed’’. The following keywords were entered during the search for scholarly articles: insulin pump, continuous glucose monitoring, quality of life, diabetes mellitus and insulin therapy. A total of 36 articles were considered for the study and verified for their relevance to the topic.
Brief description of the state of Knowledge.
The use of an insulin pump as an innovation can simplify tasks to manage the process and to maintain desired levels of blood glucose. Patients using a pump have more flexible possibilities regarding meals and diet. Additional non-health-related benefits, such as reduced worry about supplies while traveling, can significantly improve patients’ QoL as well activities, and community integration, as the pump aids in refining self-care habits.
Conclusions.
In this study, we investigated the impact of wearable technology of insulin pumps on metabolic management, the quality-of-life patients' comfort of life and daily activity in children and adolescents with diabetes. The quality of life can substantially increase when the performances of advanced devices and algorithms are associated with considerable support from family and healthcare providers.

IntroductionDermatitis herpetiformis is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease characterized by intensely pruritic,symmetrically distributed skin lesions and an association with gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Despite advances indiagnostic methods, delayed diagnosis remains a challenge due to its overlapping features with other dermatoses.Aim of StudyThis study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic methods, associated conditions, anddifferential diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis, focusing on recent advancements in serological,histopathological, and immunological testing.Material and methodsA comprehensive review of the literature on dermatitis herpetiformis was performed using the PubMed database.Results and ConclusionsDirect immunofluorescence remains the gold standard in diagnosing dermatitis herpetiformis, revealing granularIgA deposits in the dermal papillae. Histopathological findings are supportive but nonspecific, with early lesionsshowing subepidermal vesicles and neutrophilic infiltrates. Serological markers, including anti-TG2 and anti-TG3 antibodies, provide valuable diagnostic support but exhibit variable sensitivity. HLA-DQ2/DQ8 haplotypesare present in most dermatitis herpetiformis patients, offering high negative predictive value for exclusion.Associated autoimmune conditions, such as autoimmune thyroid disease and type 1 diabetes, are prevalent, anddermatitis herpetiformis patients face an elevated risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma within the first five years afterdiagnosis. The diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis relies on a combination of direct immunofluorescence,serological testing, and clinical features. Increased awareness of dermatitis herpetiformis and its associatedconditions is critical for timely diagnosis and management. Advances in immunological and genetic testing mayfurther refine diagnostic accuracy, while screening for associated autoimmune disorders and malignanciesremains an integral part of patient care.

Introduction and Purpose:

T2DM is a metabolic condition with significant global health implications, largely driven by aging populations and the obesity epidemic. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have transformed T2DM treatment by offering benefits that extend beyond blood glucose control, including weight reduction, cardiovascular protection, and potential effects on related metabolic conditions. This review aims to explore the mechanisms of GLP-1 RAs, their clinical applications, and their evolving role in addressing T2DM and its associated complications.

Materials and Methods:

The review is based on a detailed analysis of peer-reviewed studies from major scientific databases such as PubMed. The selected literature focuses on the mechanisms, clinical benefits, and new developments in GLP-1 RA therapies, including innovations in drug formulations and combination treatments.

Results:

GLP-1 RAs enhance glycemic control by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release, with a low risk of hypoglycemia. They also facilitate significant weight loss by regulating appetite and slowing gastric emptying. Beyond these core effects, GLP-1 RAs reduce cardiovascular risks, slow the progression of chronic kidney disease, and show promise in managing NAFLD and neuroinflammation. Innovations such as dual and triple agonists and oral GLP-1 RA formulations have further expanded their therapeutic scope, improving patient outcomes and adherence.

Conclusion:

GLP-1 RAs represent a significant advancement in the management of T2DM and related metabolic disorders. By addressing interconnected issues such as glycemic control, weight management, and cardiovascular risk, these therapies play a central role in modern metabolic medicine. Ongoing research should focus on long-term outcomes, safety, and personalized approaches to maximize their full potential and accessibility.
Framing Gibran’s Vice Presidential Candidacy: A Gioia Model Analysis of Media Influence on Public Opinion in Political Communication
Authors: Alamsyah Anggriani
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to explore how the media framing the candidacy of Gibran as vice president for Prabowo. The author uses the framing media proposed by Gioia which introduces three stages of inductive framing, namely theme determination, first-stage categorization, and second-stage categorization. Framing analysis, as developed by Gioia (1983), is a qualitative research method used in which an individual or group constructs meaning about a particular problem or phenomenon based on their individual experience. Framing analysis provides insight into how the media directs or influences the opinions of its audience through the selective presentation of information and interpretation of events. The result showed that online media framing can shape public opinion, which has contributed to the highest achievement for Prabowo-Gibran, despite all the controversies. This study contextualizes its results on political communication and framing analysis. Further research on another kind of framing is still needed in this subject

Published: December 2024

The teaching profession is a critical cornerstone for the success of education in Indonesia. However, maintaining teachers' work motivation poses a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas. This study examines the influence of organizational climate and psychological capital on teachers' work motivation, with need satisfaction serving as a mediating factor. Data were collected from 210 teachers in rural schools using a self-report survey and a convenience sampling technique. Participants completed scales measuring organizational climate, psychological capital, need satisfaction, and intrinsic motivation (interest/pleasure subscale). The study employed quantitative methods, including descriptive analysis of respondent profiles, measurement model analysis, and structural model analysis. Findings from structural equation modeling revealed that both organizational climate and psychological capital significantly influence teachers' work motivation, with need satisfaction acting as a crucial mediator. Organizational climate, as an external factor, significantly impacts need satisfaction and work motivation. Meanwhile, psychological capital, an internal factor, serves as a primary source of need satisfaction, which, in turn, plays a pivotal role in fostering work motivation. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating a supportive work climate and fostering psychological capital to enhance teachers' sense of responsibility and resilience in addressing the complexities of teaching in rural settings. The study highlights the need for a self-determination-oriented teacher culture in rural schools to sustain motivation and improve educational outcomes.
The effect of performance expectancy on behavioral intention: The mediating role of satisfaction
Authors: Yuliantie Emil
Published: December 2024

Purpose-Current technological developments have penetrated various aspects of life, including financial transactions. Financial technology can make it easier for people to conduct different financial transactions. One proof of the development of financial technology is the presence of electronic wallets, such as e-wallets. Therefore, this study aims to analyze e-wallet user satisfaction as measured by performance expectations and mediated by satisfaction.
Design/Methodology/Approach-The population of this study consisted of Dana e-wallet users in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Then, the research sample was determined based on purposive sampling using specific criteria, and a sample size of 84 respondents was obtained. The research data was collected by distributing questionnaires online, which contained statement items from each variable using a Likert scale. Then, the analysis tool used to process the data is Smart PLS version 4.
Findings- This study proves that performance expectancy has a positive but insignificant effect on behavioral intention, while the relationship between performance expectancy and satisfaction has a positive effect. Satisfaction is proven to positively affect behavioral intention and mediate the relationship between performance expectancy and behavioral intention.
Research limitations/implications-This research is limited to only a small number of samples and only for e-wallet users in Yogyakarta, so the research results cannot be used to generalize the behavioral intentions of e-wallet users in other areas. In addition, this research only focuses on Dana e-wallet users, not on other general e-wallet users.
Originality/value-E-wallet service provider companies can consider the factors analyzed in this study to improve their product services. That way, the level of consumer intention to use e-wallets is expected to increase.

Authors: Mohamed Eissa Thabit
Published: December 2024

Purpose- This technological advancement has extended to the world of telecommunications. This can be proven by the presence of smartphones, which offer advantages in various ways. Each manufacturer tries influencing consumers to make purchases by relying on product excellence. Purchasing decisions are essential for every manufacturer regarding marketing their products. Many factors can influence consumer purchasing decisions. This study examines product quality, brand image, and brand ambassadors as antecedents of purchasing decisions.
Design/Methodology/Approach- The respondents in this study were Asian iPhone users. Purposive sampling was used to choose the sample, obtaining 119 responses. Questionnaires were distributed to gather data, and Smart PLS was used for analysis. Validity, reliability, and hypothesis regression tests were the methods of data analysis that were used.
Findings- Product quality that meets consumer desires and expectations, as well as the sacrifices that consumers make to obtain these products, can encourage consumer decisions to buy them. A positive brand image can also promote purchasing decisions because consumers feel that the product has proven reliable and is able to meet consumer expectations and desires. Brand ambassadors are also a driving factor in purchasing decisions because they can influence consumers by promoting products.
Research Limitations/Implications- This study's limitation is that the research results only represent iPhone users in Asia, so the respondents' answers cannot represent all iPhone users in the world. In addition, the iPhone is one of the product lines produced by Apple Inc., so the results of this study are only limited to the iPhone product line; they cannot represent other product lines from Apple Inc.
Originality/Value- Research on the factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions for iPhones in Asia is minimal. Similar studies only discuss iPhone product users in several Asian countries or users of other Apple Inc product lines.

Published: December 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, impaired insulin secretion, and insulin action. To overcome this disease, some people treat it with natural ingredients. Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) is reported to have a wide range of pharmacological activities, one of which is anti-diabetic. Sambiloto showed activity in lowering blood glucose which has the potential as an antidiabetic. Computational methods, such as molecular docking, can increase the effectiveness and reduce the cost of searching for new active compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the component compounds contained in the ethanol extract of Sambiloto and obtain the potential compounds to inhibit the alpha-glucosidase and DPP-4 enzymes as anti-diabetics with molecular docking method. Sambiloto leaves were macerated for 3 x 24 hours using ethanol 96% as a solvent and concentrated with an evaporator. Sambiloto extract was analyzed using LC-MS, and GC-MS. In-silico analysis includes geometry optimization and molecular docking methods. Preparation of the test ligands was carried out by the ChemBioDraw Ultra and ChemBio3D applications, then optimization by Gaussian 09 application. The crystal structures of the target proteins used were those with PDB ID 5NN8 for alpha-glucosidase and 2QOE for DPP-4. Molecular docking was performed using Autodock 4.2.3 application. From analysis with LC- MS/MS and GC-MS methods, 18 compounds were identified. Molecular docking was performed on the identified compounds. The results of molecular docking showed that the compound S17 (11-(P- Bromoanilino)-5H-Dibenzo [B,E] [1,4] Diazepine), S1 (andrographolide) and S2 (andrographanin) have the potential to inhibit the activity of alpha-glucosidase enzyme; on the other hand S17 (11-(P-Bromoanilino)-5H-Dibenzo [B,E][1,4]Diazepine) and S5 (andrographolactone) have the potential to inhibit the activity of DPP-4 enzyme. These compounds have the potential to inhibit alpha- glucosidase and DPP-4 enzymes which act as antidiabetics.

Published: December 2024

The meat-based products are highly susceptible to counterfeiting, primarily due to high consumer demand of meat derivative products, such as meatballs. This demand creates opportunities for food fraud by specific industries, including adulterating meat with non-halal species, such as rats. This research aimed to detect rat meat contamination in meatball samples from the Indonesian local market using Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The RT-PCR amplification involved an initial denaturation step at 95°C for 3 minutes, followed by denaturation at 95°C for 15 seconds, and annealing/extension at 60°C for 1 minute. The rat-specific probe primer included in the kit produced an increasing curve in the External Positive Control (EPC) with a Ct value of 27.22, and no amplification occurred in the Negative Control (NTC). The analysis of 30 samples from meatball vendors yielded negative results, as there was no increase in the FAM (rat) curve, indicating that none of the meatballs were contaminated with rat DNA.

Published: December 2024

Hair loss is a hair problem that men and women often experience. Chia seed oil (Salvia hispanica L.) contains linolenic acid, which can stimulate the sebum glands. This research aims to determine the composition of the optimum formula for chia seed oil nanoemulsion hair serum using the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) method to prove that the characteristics and physical stability of the optimum formula meet the requirements for good preparation. The optimization method was carried out with the help of Design Expert 13 software to optimize the formula by varying Tween 80 (X1) and propylene glycol (X2). The characteristic parameters observed include organoleptic parameters such as pH, viscosity, homogeneity, emulsion type, particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, and percent transmittance. The physical stability test was carried out using a 6-cycle test method for organoleptic parameters, pH, and homogeneity. Optimization results show that the optimum composition consists of Tween 80 33.52% and propylene glycol 46.48%. The preparation meets all physical characteristic tests. Physical stability did not significantly change in the pH test, with a significance value of 0.027 in the paired t-test. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the optimum surfactant and cosurfactant composition in the optimum formula based on optimization using SLD is Tween 80 (33.52%) and propylene glycol (46.48%) with a desirability value of 0.947. The optimum formula for preparing chia seed oil nanoemulsion hair serum meets good physical characteristics and stability requirements.

Authors: Nining Nining , Amalia Anisa , Riyanto Raditya Naufal
Published: December 2024

Polymeric coating films are able to control tablet drug release rate depending on polymer physicochemical properties. Guar gum and HPMC-K15M (GG/HPMC-K15M) can be a coating polymer in sustained-release tablets. This study aims to characterize the disintegration and drug release kinetics on theophylline sustained-release tablets coated with GG/HPMC-K15M. The film coating was made with variations of the GG/HPMC-K15M ratio of 1:3 (F1), 1:4 (F2), and 1:5 (F3). Granules were preformulated regarding LOD, granule size distribution, packing, and flow properties. Film coating was carried out using a liquid spraying method. Coated tablets were tested for quality examination, and the drug release kinetics model was determined based on in-vitro dissolution. Granule pre-formulation result shows that the granules have excellent packing and flow properties with an LOD of 4.59–5.33% and a size of 553.28–627.28 πm. Tablets provided uniform size characteristics with a weight variation of 333.38–339.56 mg (CV 1.32–3.43% and acceptance value 6.53–13.58), hardness of 11.61–18.86 kgf, friability of 0.103–0.186%, disintegration time of 20.69–27.36 min, and drug content of 98.51–98.55%. The theophylline was dissolved by 95.24% (6h in FI), 97.04% (7h in F2), and 99.79% (8h in F3); all formulas followed zero-order kinetic (r2 ~ 1). Suitable quality theophylline tablets GG/HPMC-K15M coating have been successfully produced. Increasing the concentration ratio of HPMC-K15M in the coating solution resulted in a significant increase in disintegration time and a slowing of the drug release rate. The drug release kinetics of all formulations followed the zero-order kinetic model.

Published: December 2024

Despite the availability of various conventional treatments, diabetes mellitus remains a serious global health concern with an increasing prevalence. This trend underscores the need to explore potential natural alternatives. Faloak, an indigenous plant of Indonesia, has been traditionally used for various health conditions, yet its potential as an anti-hyperglycemic agent has not been comprehensively investigated. This research focused on identifying the ingredients of Faloak leaves that could lower blood sugar levels and confirm these effects in laboratory and animal models. At various concentrations, the in vitro evaluation assessed the inhibitory effect of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. For in vivo evaluation, male mice were administered glucose, sucrose, and starch after being pretreated with Faloak leaf extract, and their blood glucose levels were monitored for 120 min. Faloak leaf extract demonstrated significant inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. The IC50 values for sucrose and maltose inhibition were 30.37 and 65.36 mg/mL, respectively, while α-amylase inhibition showed an IC50 of 27.02 mg/mL. In the in vivo test, mice pretreated with the extract exhibited significantly decreased blood glucose levels at 120 min compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the ethanolic extract of Faloak leaves possesses promising anti-hyperglycemic activities, positioning it as a potential candidate for developing plant-based blood glucose management. Our results demonstrate that Faloak leaf extract exhibits substantial anti-hyperglycemic properties, inhibiting vital digestive enzymes and effectively reducing postprandial glucose levels. Identifying active ingredients paves the way for further research to elucidate specific bioactive compounds and their mechanisms of action

Published: December 2024

Recently, drug encapsulation using a Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC) has gained attention in formulation studies due to its high loading capacity and prevent drug expulsion during storage. Drug loading capacity is mainly affected by lipid type and composition, especially liquid lipids. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the potential of avocado oil as a liquid lipid of NLC replacing pure oleic acid. All components including oil, glyceryl monostearate, Tween 20®, and Span 60® were processed to NLC by solvent injection method. The colloidal characteristics of NLC dispersion in water and 20 mM PBS pH 7 were determined, including transmittance, particle size, size distribution, zeta potential, loading capacity (LC), and loading efficiency (LE) of capsanthin in NLC. The results showed that NLC containing oleic acid (Fola) and avocado oil (Favo) dispersion in PBS exhibited a similar transmittance and zeta potential of 69-74% and -51 to -58 mV, respectively, whereas the particle size and size distribution of Favo were significantly higher than Fola. Moreover, the 1.3-fold higher LC and LE of Favo compared to Fola was insignificant (p>0.05).   Additionally, the Tween 20® and Span 60® ratio of Favo should be improved to obtain an ideal particle size and size distribution as in Fola.  In conclusion, avocado oil indicated the potential to be utilized as a liquid lipid of NLC formulation regarding zeta potential and drug loading. However, the surfactant composition should be adjusted to reduce the particle size of the NLC, leading to permeability enhancement in delivery, particularly oral administration.

Authors: Nohel Michal , Mezl Martin , Valek Vlastimil , Dostal Marek , Chmelik Jiri
Published: December 2024

Bone mineral density (BMD) is an important indicator of bone health, particularly in patients with conditions such as multiple myeloma. This study aims to compare three methodologies for quantifying BMD in vertebral regions affected by lytic lesions: two using data from conventional CT with different corrections for tissue composition, and one using data acquired on a dual-energy CT system. Method 1 is based on conventional CT with corrections using reference values for muscle and fat, Method 2 uses conventional CT with corrections based on the measured CT values of paraspinal muscle, and Method 3 is based on dual-energy CT. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical comparison, as the dataset did not follow a normal distribution. The results indicated significant differences between Methods 1 and 2 for BMD in regions of interest (ROIs) within lytic lesions, while no significant differences were found for other comparisons in this group. For vertebrae affected by multiple myeloma, significant differences were found between Methods 1 and 2, and Methods 2 and 3, but not between Methods 1 and 3. In healthy vertebrae, a significant difference was found only between Methods 2 and 3. When all ROIs were combined, significant differences were found between Methods 1 and 2, and Methods 2 and 3, with no difference between Methods 1 and 3. Future research will focus on objectively assessing the accuracy of these methods by comparing their results with a calibration phantom.

The article describes the examination of the internal structure of concrete reinforced with steel fibers using two non-destructive measurement techniques: a method using ultrasonic waves and a method using electromagnetic induction. The ultrasonic method allowed for the determination of material defects resulting from the non-uniform distribution of fibers in the space of the tested sample bodies. The method using electromagnetic induction allowed for the identification of fiber content. Research has shown that fiber concrete, characterized by a relatively high content of steel fibers (above 1.5 % by volume), is susceptible to the formation of material discontinuities in its internal structure. This phenomenon occurs to a very small extent in concrete with steel fiber content below 1.5 %.

The paper presents a model and implementation of a distributed laundry management system utilizing textiles and cloud computing, enabling intelligent control of the washing process through the use of RFID identifiers in textiles and connecting devices to the Azure IoT Hub service. Textiles equipped with RFID identifiers are automatically recognized, allowing for optimal adjustment of washing parameters based on the type of material. The communication module, based on the Raspberry Pi microcomputer, works in conjunction with the STM32 microcontroller, transmitting data to the cloud, where it is analyzed to provide recommendations regarding detergents, washing times, and other settings. A prototype of the control system was developed in the form of a sequential algorithm using CPDev software. Based on the laboratory model, measurements were conducted to assess the accuracy of textile identification, which helped determine the optimal number of scans.

Rooms in public buildings are characterized by alternating periods of use and non-use of these rooms, resulting from the limited number of working periods and the alternation of working and non-working days. The article presents measurements of thermal energy consumption in a selected office room and creates a thermal mathematical model of a room heated by a central heating. The dependences of the heat power consumed by the room as a function of the internal and external temperature for a steady state are given. Also a two-part transfer function describing the relation of the indoor temperature on the outdoor temperature and the radiator power is described. A radiator control algorithm was proposed to ensure thermal comfort in the room during working hours while saving energy during periods when no people are present in the room. Energy is saved by lowering the room temperature. Restoring thermal comfort uses a mathematical model of the room, thanks to which it is possible to estimate in simulation the hour of turning the heating on again in order to regain the thermal comfort temperature for a given hour. Based on the developed models, a method was developed and described for estimating the savings resulting from lowering the temperature inside the room during periods when no people are present in it. Savings are calculated as the difference between the energy supplied to the room in a hypothetical situation of no temperature reduction, calculated on the basis of a mathematical model of the room, and the actual, measured energy supplied to the room. The results obtained in the 2023/2024 heating season indicate the possibility of achieving from 20 % to 30 % thermal energy savings.

Published: December 2024

Partimos da indagação acerca de como era desenvolvido o trabalho das professoras em escolas rurais do município de Ituiutaba-MG, no período de 1970 a 1990, com o objetivo de discutir os aspectos que concernem ao trabalho docente em salas multisseriadas e as representações construídas sobre a profissão docente e sobre os relacionamentos com os alunos e demais sujeitos habitantes das fazendas onde encontravam-se instaladas aquelas escolas. Utilizamos: entrevistas, anotações, bilhetes, atas, jornais, relatórios, diários de classe, diário pessoal, fichas técnicas sobre as escolas e legislação. Os resultados indicam que o exercício da profissão ocorreu em escolas pouco equipadas e que, embora habilitadas, as professoras enfrentaram inúmeros desafios para superar carências diversas. Não obstante, seus relatos são perpassados por sentimentos de reconhecimento por parte dos alunos e de seus pais, assim como de realização profissional por terem contribuído com a alfabetização de muitas crianças no meio rural.
O município e a organização da instrução pública: uma análise a partir da ação educativa da Câmara Municipal de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, 1889-1915

Published: December 2024

Este artigo aborda o processo de organização da instrução pública observado, no município de Juiz de Fora, no início da Primeira República (1889-1915). Pela análise das especificidades locais, foi possível identificar ações educativas da municipalidade, possibilitando a compreensão acerca do processo de escolarização ocorrido. Para tanto, recorremos às seguintes fontes: Atas e Resoluções da Câmara; Atas de Exames; Correspondências; Mapas de Matrícula; Recibos de Pagamento; e Relatórios de Inspeção. Tais documentos possibilitaram identificar que a Câmara Municipal de Juiz de Fora se envolveu diretamente com a educação, nos permitindo afirmar a existência de uma escolarização própria no âmbito do município. No entanto, a ação educativa resultante dessas iniciativas foi marcada pelas contradições da própria dinâmica da organização da instrução na cidade de Juiz de Fora, ou seja, o poder local atuou em matéria de educação; mas enfrentou limites na sua ação educativa, devido às carências municipais existentes à época.

A presente investigação propõe pensar a pauta das famílias a fim de legalizar, no Brasil, a prática do ensino domiciliar, chamado de homeschooling. Dentre os argumentos utilizados, para fundamentar a opção pelo exercício do ensino domiciliar está a liberdade religiosa. Qual a relevância desse argumento? Por meio de análise jurisprudencial, em específico Recurso Extraordinário 888.815/RS, repercussão geral tema 822, apreciado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, tal argumento apareceu com frequência nos votos e manifestações das partes e em especifico nos votos dos ministros Luis Roberto Barroso, Alexandre de Moraes e Luiz Fux. A fim de compreender as bases de argumentos e quais desdobramentos decorrem dos mesmos, sejam a favor ou contra o exercício do ensino domiciliar. Os resultados  aqui levantados servem de subsídio para pesquisas do tema com viés jurídico ou educacional.
Comment devient-ton pédagogue? Le cas du belge Ovide Decroly (1871-1932)
Authors: Wagnon Sylvain
Published: December 2024

Ce texte se concentre sur Ovide Decroly (1871-1932) en se posant la question comment ce médecin est-il devenu une figure majeure de la pédagogie européenne. A partir de ses propres écrits, cet article analyse cette mutation autour de plusieurs moments : sa formation initiale, le contexte socio-historique de la fin du XIXe siècle, le rôle de la Société de protection de l'enfance anormale et la fondation de deux écoles, l'Institut d'enseignement spécial et l'Ermitage. L’étude de son texte «Le programme d’une école dans la vie» marque l'aboutissement de cette évolution.

Este trabalho é parte atualizada das análises e dos resultados da dissertação desenvolvida no programa de mestrado em História do Atlântico e da Diáspora Africana (PPGH-UESC). Tem por objeto de estudo a educação em ambiente hospitalar (EAH) e sua oferta para estudantes da educação de jovens e adultos (EJA), em tratamentos de doenças. Objetiva estabelecer relações, por meio do alargamento das fronteiras interdisciplinares, de modo a identificar aportes para a análise e interpretação do objeto investigado. De caráter bibliográfico e explicativo, utiliza abordagem qualitativa para interpretação das fontes na perspectiva de ultrapassar os limites teórico-metodológicos hierarquizados e homogêneos acerca da diversidade temática envolvendo o mundo atlântico. Ao considerar a história atlântica, conclui a aderência do tema a esse campo a partir de aspectos teórico-metodológicos que corroboram para a investigação a respeito da oferta de EAH aos estudantes da modalidade EJA afastados da escola por situação de adoecimento.

Neste ano de 2024, publicamos o vigésimo terceiro volume dos Cadernos de História da Educação, no qual constam 69 colaborações, com a seguinte distribuição: 01 artigo especial; 02 traduções; 50 artigos em fluxo contínuo; 16 resenhas. O artigo especial nomeado “Nolfa Ibáñez y su preocupación por la inclusión y la interculturalidad en educación”, de autoria de Jaime Caiceo Escudero, da Universidad de Santiago de Chile, assinala que a preocupação com a inclusão na educação tem sido recorrente nos últimos trinta a quarenta anos, tanto internacional quanto nacionalmente, pois na cultura atual não é possível aceitar a segregação no ingresso em creches, escolas, liceus ou faculdades de bebês, crianças, adolescentes e jovens devido à sua situação socioeconômica, étnica ou a sua condição física ou mental, sejam elas transitórias ou permanentes.
Uma proposta de atividades envolvendo o Duolingo para o fomento da Cidadania Global na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica
Authors: Schaefer Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

O autor deste estudo sugere que a educação para a Cidadania Global, esta concernente a pessoas que se preocupam com questões relacionadas com o âmbito local e global (Belli; Luna, 2024), pode ser promovida mediante uma proposta de atividades no âmbito da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT), proposta essa que abarca o intercâmbio virtual, histórias digitais e o aplicativo Duolingo para fins do aprendizado do inglês. Assim, a partir da contribuição teórica de pesquisadores como Schaefer e Heemann (2024a, 2024b), Silva (no prelo) e Hanna (2024), este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de atividades, a qual envolve a utilização do Duolingo, como estratégia para o aprendizado do inglês e para o desenvolvimento da Cidadania Global no contexto da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. Tais atividades, que podem ser aplicadas no transcorrer de 16 aulas, abrangem o intercâmbio virtual de estudantes de uma instituição brasileira com estudantes de uma instituição indiana. Pode-se afirmar que propostas de atividades que incluem o trabalho com diferentes recursos digitais, tal como os da proposta que neste estudo se erigiu, podem fomentar a Cidadania Global e a formação integral mediante o pensamento crítico nas instituições educacionais.
