Information resources in the field of toxicity and danger of chemicals as a modern tool of preventive toxicology
Authors: Potapchenko Timur D. , Lebed-Sharlevich Yana I. , Manaeva Elizaveta S.
Published: November 2024

This article examines the history of the development of databases and national registries of chemical substances formed to implement programs to protect the environment and public health. A review of modern information retrieval systems is given that provide access to data about the physicochemical, toxicological and hygienic properties of chemicals. The functionality of the studied systems was assessed for the completeness of information about chemicals, their properties, effects on the body of warm-blooded animals, ecotoxicity, and use. The review was carried out using the following databases: Register of toxic effects of chemical compounds RTECS; Risk Assessment Information System (RAIS); PubChem; eChemPortal; ChemSpider; CompTox Chemistry Dashboard. The analysis showed the databases to contain a large amount of data on the characteristics of various chemical compounds. However, each database has its own specifics and requires certain skills when searching for the necessary information, which significantly complicates this procedure and affects the speed of processing the information received. In this regard, at the moment there is a need to develop a software product, the functionality of which will allow searching for the necessary information in all publicly available chemical substance databases. Automation of information and analytical activities will make it possible to significantly reduce the time spent working with various resources when conducting federal state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance and medical care for workers with particularly hazardous working conditions. Centre for Strategic Planning, of the Federal medical and biological agency is working to create a new software product “Hygienic Characteristics”, which will contain all the basic information about the toxicity of chemicals.

Communication Strategies of Indonesian Secondary School Teachers to Establish Interpersonal Relationships with Students; A Literature Review
Authors: Pratama Moch Johan , Mukhlis Hamid
Published: November 2024

The quality of teacher-student relationships has a profound impact on the learning process and outcomes, particularly in culturally diverse contexts like Indonesia. In Indonesian secondary schools, where cultural characteristics such as power distance and collectivism shape interactions, enhancing teacher-student relationships through effective communication strategies is crucial. This study aims to identify and analyze communication strategies that are most appropriate for fostering interpersonal relationships in Indonesian secondary schools. Using a qualitative literature review method, following PRISMA guidelines, this study synthesizes 22 communication behaviors from existing literature, which were categorized into four main themes: care, immediacy, clarity, and disclosure. Notably, while the strategies of care, immediacy, and clarity align with previous research and are adapted to the Indonesian cultural context, the study found a significant lack of teacher disclosure, a critical strategy for building close interpersonal relationships. This gap suggests that cultural factors such as high power distance may inhibit the use of disclosure as a relational tool in Indonesian classrooms. The study’s findings provide practical implications for teachers aiming to improve their communication practices, suggesting that culturally appropriate strategies, particularly in balancing authority and relational closeness, are necessary to foster stronger interpersonal connections with students.

Authors: Blacio Aguirre Galo Stalin , Costa Cevallos Marcelo Armando , Espinosa Quezada María Gabriela
Published: November 2024

En el presente trabajo se analiza la figura legal de la adopción en el sistema jurídico ecuatoriano, enfocándose en los conflictos normativos y éticos que surgen al confrontar los derechos constitucionales de los menores con la normativa ecuatoriana. Un punto clave es la colisión existente entre el reconocimiento constitucional de la familia en sus diversas formas y la prohibición explícita de adopción para parejas del mismo sexo. En Ecuador existen dos fases para el proceso de adopción, una administrativa y otra judicial, destacando las barreras burocráticas y los vacíos jurídicos que complican la protección efectiva del interés superior del menor. El análisis incluye una evaluación crítica sobre si las parejas del mismo sexo pueden proporcionar un entorno familiar adecuado para el desarrollo integral y emocional de los menores, en comparación con las parejas heterosexuales. Asimismo, se examinan los prejuicios culturales, legales presentes en la normativa ecuatoriana que influyen en esta prohibición. Esta investigación plantea la necesidad de revalorar estas normativas a la luz de los principios constitucionales de igualdad y no discriminación, y de garantizar que el interés superior del menor sea el fundamento central en el proceso de adopción, sin distinciones basadas en las orientaciones sexuales de los adoptantes.

It is concluded that strengthening support networks, using technologies for silent reporting, and training professionals are essential actions to address gender-based violence in emergency contexts.
Study on the Dynamic Analysis of the Evolutionary Game and Influence Effect of Green Taxation in Promoting the Development of New Energy Industry
Authors: Yao Baoshuai , Li Changlin , Huang Rui
Published: November 2024

The development of China’s new energy industry has accelerated, significantly advancing the country’s progress toward achieving ‘carbon neutrality’ and ‘carbon peak’. In this context, green tax serves as a powerful catalyst for the growth of the new energy sector. Taking into account the heterogeneity of enterprises, this paper constructs a dynamic evolution model involving the ‘government, local enterprises, and foreign enterprises’ to elucidate the decision-making mechanisms of traditional energy enterprises in their transition to new energy, driven by green tax incentives.Using corporate financial report data from the Wind database and energy and economic data from Chinese provinces from 2016 to 2021, this study empirically examines the impact of green tax on the development of the new energy industry. The findings indicate that implementing a green tax system can effectively promote the regional growth of the new energy sector. This positive effect remains robust even after accounting for intrinsic factors and employing various validation tools. Furthermore, a regional comparison reveals that the positive impact of environmental taxes is more pronounced in the western regions of China than in the more industrially developed eastern and central regions. This suggests that environmental taxes contribute to reducing disparities in the development of the new energy industry across provinces.In conclusion, this paper confirms that green tax significantly promotes the development of China’s new energy industry. It holds practical significance in fostering vigorous growth in this sector while also helping to narrow regional industrial development gaps through tax policy.

Improving Medical Abstract Classification Using PEFT-LoRA Fine-Tuned Large and Small Language Models
Authors: Kavi Rahul , Anne Jeevan
Published: November 2024

Designing intelligent systems to classify text in the medical domain is a challenging task. There is a shortage of openly available medical datasets (due to HIPPA-related strict regulations on protected health information for patients). In this paper, we explore the application of Open Source Medical LLMs (such as Meditron LLM), generic Large Language Models (such as LLAMA2), and Small Language Models (such as Phi2) on medical text classification (medical abstract dataset). We show that PEFT approaches such as LoRA can perform very well in classifying medical text, which involves interpreting patient conditions and symptoms and determining what medical problems the patients have. These approaches (based on Large and Small Language Models) have outperformed the current state of the results on medical abstracts corpus. In addition to medical LLMs, the open-source generic LLMs can be adapted to solving classification tasks on medical text and perform nearly as well as the specialized medical LLMs. SLMs can be a serious contender for solving domain-specific classification tasks (e.g., medical literature). This shows that carefully selecting the training data and fine-tuning positively impacts classification accuracy, precision, and recall. Generic Language Models such as LLAMA2 (LLM) and Phi2 (SLM) weren’t specifically trained with medical text. Medical LLMs such as Meditron outperform LLAMA2 and Phi2 in precision and accuracy. This is quite evident as Meditron was originally trained on medical text. The (micro averaged) F1 score for the fine-tuned Meditron model is 0.64. This is superior compared to fined-tuned LLAMA2 of 0.58 and Phi2 of 0.62. We see that Phi2 can outperform LLAMA2 with fewer number of parameters. The approaches used in this work can be extended to other medical text classification problems in the medical domain.

No One Right Approach; A Review of 21st Century Skills Pedagogy in Eswatini Curriculum
Authors: Mkhonta Portia P.
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The 21st century skills curriculum is adjusted in different ways to meet each country’s education needs. This study is a review of how the 21st century skills curriculum is adapted in the Eswatini General Certificate of Secondary Education (EGCSE) curriculum. Its objectives were; to ascertain the vision of the 21st century skills curriculum as embraced by the EGCSE curriculum; to explore the interpretation of the 21st century skills pedagogy in the EGCSE curriculum and to examine other legal documents that embrace the notion of 21st century skills in Eswatini.
Methodology: It adopted the systematic literature review methodology. Four (N=4) documents were analysed to determine 21st century skills. These are the P21 Framework, the IGCSE Consultative Document for 2005, the National Curriculum Framework for General Education and the Eswatini Education and Training Sector Policies (EETSP) for 2011 and 2018.
Findings: The findings revealed that the 21st century curriculum philosophy is captured in the P21 framework and EGCSE curriculum in similar ways, as learner-centred and constructivist in design.  The P21 Framework interprets the 21st century skills as; learning and innovation, information, media and technology skills and career skills. Contrary, EGCSE pool them together as; communication and language, numeracy, problem solving, technological awareness and applications, critical thinking, work and study, independent learning and working with others. Other legal documents that embraced the notion of 21st century skills were  the Competency-based Curriculum Framework,  the National Curriculum Framework for General Education and the Eswatini Education and Training Sector Policy for 2011 and 2018 within which there are two (2) sub-policies; Inclusive education, Education for All.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Though put differently, the 21st   century skills in both frameworks are similar; they empower learners with ways of thinking and working, tools for working and living in the world. Also, only summative assessment is captured, a few is said on formative. It is recommended that both frameworks be revised for more speculations on formative assessment strategies. For teachers to understand the EGCSE curriculum, they need to refer to the other documents or policies.

Authors: Chaiburi Chakkrapong , Pannim Panadta
Published: November 2024

This study examined the development of air cathode electrodes using cotton fabric. Various compositions of PTFE (10, 15, 20 and 25 wt%) were mixed with Nafion and carbon powder to create cotton fabric electrodes that enhance air diffusion into the cathode. The initial analysis focused on the surface properties of the cotton fabric and the assessment of carbon within the fuel cell. The physical characteristics of the cathode were evaluated before the measurements, and the leakage-seepage behavior was examined using a 0.1 M KOH solution. The results revealed that the cotton fabric surface was smooth, which facilitated the adhesion of the ingredients when treated with Nafion, carbon powder and PTFE. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) revealed spherical catalyst shapes with clustering on the surface. No seepage or leakage of the KOH solution was observed with 20 wt% PTFE. Oxygen meter tests conducted with this composition displayed a high oxygen output of 98.0 %, indicating efficiency. A fuel cell constructed with carbon powder, 20 wt% PTFE and Nafion as the air cathode demonstrated optimal performance, similar to commercial air cathodes. Evaluation of the efficiency using the Pd/C catalyst anode and AgMnO2/C catalyst revealed a power output comparable to commercial air cathodes.
HIGHLIGHTS

Investigation of carbon fabric leakage in the membraneless alkaline fuel cell prototype revealed that the carbon cotton fabric from cotton with 20 wt% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), both with and without Nafion, did not experience leakage of the KOH solution or oxygen gas.
The performance of the constructed air cathode was similar to a commercially supplied air cathode from a Taiwanese company.

Se em países como o Brasil a universidade se constitui como uma plantation devotada à produção de matérias-primas brutas a serem exploradas em latitudes mais centrais, não podemos perder de vista a captura de vidas que esse processo exige. O conceito de sobcomuns desenvolvido por Moten e Harney, assim como a figura do quarto de vassouras em Le Guin, servem de inspiração para nos aproximarmos do alojamento estudantil da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro. Neste texto, a partir de uma experiência etnográfica intensa, tratamos de esmiuçar a violência imperante na cultura universitária local. Exploramos as práticas extrativistas que se nutrem da vida de estudantes feitos descartáveis para erigir uma universidade que, paradoxalmente, se crê independente dessas formas dissidentes de existir. Por fim, abordamos o amor forjado nesse refúgio e os laços de enfrentamento formados por estudantes alojados.
O Grande Irmão que tudo vê: O Processo administrativo disciplinar (PAD) como poder disciplinador.
Authors: Vaneli Gaigher Marely Alécio
Published: November 2024

Esta pesquisa analisa o Processo Administrativo Disciplinar (PAD) aplicado aos servidores públicos federais à luz do referencial Foucaultiano sobre poderes disciplinares e corpos dóceis. Conclui que o rigor dos procedimentos de investigação e punição presentes no PAD manifestam uma tecnologia política que visa fabricar sujeitos modelados e adaptados às demandas institucionais do Estado, garantindo obediência e funcionalidade sistêmica por meio de mecanismos de vigilância, normalização e controle dos indivíduos inseridos na administração pública federal.

Authors: José de Aquino Pereira Marcos , Brazão Lopes Baré Claudiana , Braz de Araújo Pataxó Jocimara , Manoel da Silva Santos Pankararu Pedro
Published: November 2024

Este artigo traz um recorte da pesquisa de doutorado intitulada “Processos Educativos do Centro de Culturas Indígenas: indiagem, acolhimento, desafio e conquista na Universidade Federal de São Carlos” que foi realizada junto com 15 estudantes indígenas de 9 cursos de graduação da UFSCar. Nosso objetivo é destacar falas e reflexões que se relacionam aos desafios enfrentados cotidianamente por indígenas no ensino superior, marcados pela diferença e o preconceito, desde o ingresso, passando pelas dificuldades da permanência, até o sonho da formatura, e para alguns(mas) chegar ao novo espaço a ser conquistado da Pós-Graduação. Com isso, abordamos o coletivo indígena como estratégia desenvolvida por eles(as) para o enfrentamento dessas realidades e a afirmação de suas identidades, em que desafio e conquista se tornam uma categoria analítica para abordarmos a presença/ausência indígena na universidade.

Escola do cansaço: gestão do desempenho e racionalidade bio/necro/política na educação neoliberal
Authors: Araldi Vaz Rafael , Diaz de Vivar y Soler Rodrigo
Published: November 2024

Como a governamentalidade do neoliberalismo construiu uma racionalidade que reconhece o sacrifício da vida (do tempo, das relações, das diferenças, da ética e da estética) ou dos modos de vida como dispositivo central para a construção da educação escolar? Partindo deste questionamento, analisa-se como a escola tem se convertido na modernidade tardia em uma tecnologia central para a constituição de subjetividades precarizadas pela racionalidade bio/necro/política da educação neoliberal.
Sobre as feras da reprodução no mundo indígena: nota breve
Authors: Menezes Bastos Rafael José de
Published: November 2024

A partir dos finais do século XIX, deu-se um paulatino avanço do universo da reprodução das coisas do mundo, produzido pela fotografia, pelo cinema e pela fonografia, suas principais máquinas, existentes em diversos tipos, marcas e modelos. Outras máquinas foram entrando em jogo, assim como a internet. De acordo com os indígenas, isso sempre provocou um grande perigo, hoje apenas por um delicado fio domesticado. O presente estudo aborda o horizonte tão somente indígena referente às terras baixas desta situação, privilegiando as noções de aura, reprodução e suas correlatas. Trabalha também o perigo embutido na reprodução, por ora somente domesticado.

CAPACIDADE DE SUPORTE DOS SISTEMAS AMBIENTAIS DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO SÃO NICOLAU (BHSN)- PIAUÍ
Authors: Cordeiro Santiago Cristiane Maria , Vicente da Silva Edson , Silva Soares Leonardo
Published: November 2024

O seguinte trabalho é parte da tese de doutorado. A pesquisa em questão tem como objetivo geral Analisar a capacidade de suporte dos sistemas ambientais da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Nicolau (BHSN) -PI. Para tanto, realizou-se levantamento bibliográfico e de materiais geocartográficos, e feitas visitas de campo. Tendo o aporte das características geoambientais, a bacia foi compartimentada em seis grandes sistemas ambientais e verificada a capacidade de suporte de cada um deles. Destaca-se que o sistema ambiental Planície fluvial, apresentou 74,61% do seu território com capacidade de suporte Muito baixa. Em geral, mais de 70% da BHSN evidenciou ambientes instáveis apesar de ser uma área cuja densidade demográfica ainda é considerada baixa. Portanto, embora a urbanização da bacia ainda seja baixa, percebe-se vastas áreas ocupadas pela atividade agropecuária e pelo extrativismo e, somada às características geoambientais da região, corroboram para a baixa capacidade de suporte da bacia sendo necessário a inserção de planejamento adequado e condizente com as limitações da bacia.
Impact of climate-related matters on financial instruments’ reporting: An examination of disclosure quality in the annual reports of banks in the European Union
Authors: Brouwer Tristan , ter Hoeven Ralph
Published: November 2024

This study examines the disclosure quality in the 2023 annual reports of the impact that climate-related matters have on the reporting of financial instruments within banks. The sample contains the 44 largest banks supervised by the European Central Bank. We find that banks have high quality disclosures regarding their objectives, policies and processes for managing the climate-related risk arising from financial instruments. In addition, the exposure to climate related risks is also disclosed, which is mostly fuelled by regulatory disclosure requirements. Banks can improve the quality of their disclosures regarding ESG features embedded in financial instruments and the impact of climate-related risk on the allowance for expected credit losses.
