Comparison of Three Matching Item Formats
Authors: Follman John , Urbanke Raymond , Burley Wade
Published: October 2024

Three matching item test formats were compared empirically. The random order test format produced performance significantly superior to both the homogeneity of meaning test format and the one overall group test format. It was concluded: that the format of matching tests influences performance; that random ordering of matching items produces highest performance; that instructors should determine that both they and their students have denotative knowledge of the meaning of the so-called key words used in essay questions; and that matching assignments should not involve too large a number of stimuli and responses.

Quantitative Analysis of the Future of the Sharing Economy, Housing, White-Collar Labor Markets, and Problems in Big Cities
Authors: Ekmekçi Elif
Published: October 2024

This research project explores the future of the sharing economy and its profound effects on housing markets, white-collar labor dynamics, and socio-economic challenges in large metropolitan areas. Using quantitative economics and econometric techniques, the study evaluates how platforms such as Airbnb, Uber, and coworking spaces are reshaping urban life, exacerbating housing affordability issues, and altering labor market structures. By analyzing housing market data, labor statistics, and platform economy data from major cities like New York, London, and Istanbul, this research provides empirical insights into how the sharing economy influences urban economic landscapes. The study employs difference-in-differences (DiD) and multivariate regression models to assess causal relationships, particularly in terms of housing market disruptions caused by short-term rental platforms and labor market fragmentation driven by the rise of gig and remote work. Spatial econometric techniques are also used to explore geographic disparities in housing and employment impacts across urban districts. Preliminary findings indicate that the proliferation of sharing economy platforms has contributed to housing shortages and increased prices in central urban areas, while labor markets experience growing polarization, with high-skilled workers benefiting from remote work opportunities and low-skilled gig workers facing economic precarity. This research offers valuable policy insights into the regulation of short-term rentals and the protection of gig economy workers, highlighting the need for regulatory frameworks that address urban inequality and labor market shifts. By integrating data from multiple sources, this study contributes to the academic discourse on urban economics and provides a framework for understanding the long-term socio-economic implications of the sharing economy in big cities.

The purpose of the study is to improve the technical and tactical training of players of youth mini-soccer teams by developing and substantiating an objective methodology for its evaluation and control. The hypothesis of the research is that improving the technical and tactical training of players of youth mini-soccer teams is likely to be possible if the method of objective assessment and pedagogical control of such actions is developed and substantiated based on the results of the analysis of the competitive actions of qualified teams as the main component of managing this process . Two groups of mini-football teams were involved in the pedagogical observation. Youth youth and student teams - the leaders of the 2022-2023 (U-14) Odesa Oblast minifootball championship among young men - were included in the first group. The second group includes eight qualified teams - participants of the Odesa mini-football championship 2023–2024. To achieve the goal, theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodical literature, Internet content and documentary materials, pedagogical observation of training and competition were applied activities of athletes in mini-football and methods of mathematical statistics. It was found that the technical and tactical preparedness of mini-football players is closely related to the team's sports performance, and tactics are closely intertwined with technique, which is the basis for the implementation of competitive tactical tasks and actions. In order to successfully manage the technical and tactical training of youth mini-football teams through pedagogical observation of the competitive activity of qualified athletes, we have obtained exemplary characteristics of the number and effectiveness of attacks of various types, as well as the number and success of various shots on goal. The evaluation method developed by us during the pedagogical control of technical and tactical activities in mini-football enables coaches to receive sufficiently complete, urgent and objective information about its quantitative (types of attacks and their number, shots on goal, etc.) and qualitative (efficiency and effectiveness ) characteristics. Exemplary indicators of technical and tactical actions calculated on the basis of the results of pedagogical observations make it possible to purposefully manage the training process of youth teams and their players.

This pan.able visual essay traces both a coastline and timeline of northwestern Patagonia, which is part of a highly dynamic environmental region. Indigenous peoples who traversed its coast for millennia were witnesses to glacial retreat, dramatic sea level rise, and repeated volcanic eruptions amongst other landscape and climate changes. Permanent settlement of the area near the Chaitén volcano in Chilean Patagonia began only a century ago, when settlers from other areas (including Osorno, the Chiloe islands, and Argentina) built homes and developed a local culture based on industries that included fishing, boat making, basket making, textiles, livestock, and bee keeping in a remote but thriving town.

In May 2008, the Chaitén volcano erupted, prompting one of the largest evacuations in modern Chilean history. Within two days, the human populations of Chaitén and nearby Futaleufú were relocated and dispersed in distant cities with little time to plan and no clear knowledge of the length of time they would be displaced. Farm animals, pets, family mementos, and the familiar landscapes of home were lost over the three years of exile that elapsed before resettlement was permitted. Even if it did not cause large-scale loss of human life, the eruption was still a deeply disruptive and traumatic event for residents.

In the process of surveying a new site for the town of Chaitén, a cave complex filled with prehistoric rock art and shell middens was encountered in a distinctive landscape monument called the Vilcún. While the proposed new location for the town was rejected by townspeople, who fought to rebuild on the site of the old town, the cultural heritage represented by the Vilcún rock art caves and the geological heritage represented by the volcanic landscape are now contributing to the ongoing rebirth of the town.

A new interpretive center in Chaitén was built in the midst of houses ruined by the eruption. Together, they are designed to serve as a nexus for community memory, tourism information, science communication and education, and art as part of a development strategy based on local heritage and educational outreach. This offers opportunities for academic and technical programs for local youth that did not exist prior and also conveys future risks and community resilience. This is part of a vibrant creative explosion inadvertently prompted by the volcanic eruption. Once the site of disaster, Chaitén is now a site of regeneration.

Este ensayo visual pan.able, titulado «Panorama de la Patagonia», describe la costa y la cronología de la Patagonia noroccidental, que forma parte de una región ecológicamente muy dinámica. Los pueblos indígenas que recorrieron estas costas durante milenios fueron testigos del retroceso de los glaciares, la drástica subida del nivel del mar y las repetidas erupciones volcánicas, entre otros cambios climáticos. La ocupación permanente de la zona cercana al volcán Chaitén, en la Patagonia chilena, comenzó hace tan solo un siglo, cuando pobladores de otras zonas (como Osorno, las islas Chiloé y Argentina) construyeron casas y desarrollaron una cultura local sustentada en industrias como la pesca, la fabricación de barcos, la cestería, los textiles, la ganadería y la apicultura, todo ello en un pueblo remoto pero próspero.

En mayo de 2008, el volcán Chaitén entró en erupción, provocando una de las mayores evacuaciones de la historia moderna de Chile. En dos días, los habitantes de Chaitén y de la ciudad vecina de Futaleufú fueron reubicados y distribuidos en ciudades más lejanas, sin que hubiera tiempo para planificar ni saber por cuánto tiempo tendrían que estar desplazados. Animales de granja, mascotas, recuerdos familiares y paisajes conocidos desaparecieron durante los tres años de exilio que transcurrieron antes de que se les permitiera volver a sus hogares. Aunque no causó pérdidas humanas a gran escala, la erupción fue un acontecimiento profundamente perturbador y traumático para los residentes.

Durante el proceso de búsqueda de una nueva localización para la ciudad de Chaitén, se encontró un complejo de cuevas llenas de arte rupestre prehistórico y conchales que constituyen un monumento paisajístico característico llamado Morro Vilcún. Aunque la nueva ubicación propuesta para la ciudad fue rechazada por sus habitantes, quienes lucharon por reconstruirla en el emplazamiento de la antigua ciudad, el patrimonio cultural que representan las cuevas de arte rupestre de Vilcún y el patrimonio geológico encarnado por el paisaje volcánico contribuyen ahora al renacimiento de la ciudad.

Se construyó un nuevo centro de interpretación entre las casas destruidas por la erupción, que sirve de nexo de unión entre la memoria de la comunidad, la información turística, la divulgación y educación científica, y el arte como parte de una estrategia de desarrollo basada en el patrimonio local y las actividades educativas. Esto brinda a los jóvenes locales oportunidades de cursar programas académicos y técnicos que antes no existían y también permite prever los riesgos futuros y reforzar la capacidad de recuperación de la comunidad gracias a un recorrido textual y material. Todo ello forma parte de una emocionante explosión creativa provocada inadvertidamente por la erupción volcánica. Chaitén, antaño escenario de una catástrofe, es ahora un lugar de regeneración.

Authors: Dueñas Cherry Ann , Carreon Marichou
Published: October 2024

In the 21st century, numerical and problem-solving skills are crucial, yet many Filipino students struggle in these areas, prompting the need for effective educational interventions. Gamification, integrating game design elements into learning, has shown a potential to enhance student engagement and skills, although previous research provides mixed results. This study aimed to explore the effects of online gamification in teaching mathematics to Grade 12 Filipino students, focusing on its benefits and challenges. Using a mixed-method convergent design, the study involved 94 students who were assessed through pretest and post-test evaluations. Z-tests, paired t-tests, and t-tests for two independent samples were used to measure performance changes. Interviews were conducted and analyzed through Miles and Huberman’s Thematic Framework to understand students’ experiences. Findings revealed that the experimental group, which used online gamification, showed significantly more improvement in pre-and post-test scores than the control group. However, post-test performance levels between both groups were similar, indicating that gamification is as effective as traditional teaching methods in the long term. Despite challenges such as connectivity issues and limited computer skills, students reported positive experiences with gamification, including increased enjoyment, enhanced motivation, personalized progression, and reduced pressure. The study underscores that while online gamification can boost student engagement and initial learning outcomes, its effectiveness is comparable to traditional methods over time. To optimize its benefits, improvements in digital infrastructure, more platform options, and enhanced computer literacy training are recommended. Overall, online gamification holds promise as a valuable educational tool, particularly for initial learning phases.

Published: October 2024

El propósito del presente estudio de caso fue comparar el efecto erosivo por medio de la diferencia entre la microdureza inicial y final en unidades Vickers que provocan las bebidas carbonatadas sobre ionómero de vidrio Fuji 9 y resina compósita Te-Econom Plus. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y longitudinal, con muestreo por conveniencia; se prepararon elaborados de ambos materiales de restauración con dimensiones de 6 mm de alto y 20 mm de diámetro; se distribuyeron dos muestras en tres grupos según bebida carbonatada. Estos fueron sometidos a la acción de las bebidas por un periodo de 15 minutos durante 15 días a temperatura ambiente; posteriormente, se realizó el estudio de microdureza con el ensayo de Vickers y se recopilaron los datos por medio del instrumento ficha de observación. Los resultados mostraron que ambos materiales de restauración disminuyeron su microdureza inicial luego de ser sometidos a la acción de las bebidas carbonatadas, causando un efecto erosivo mayor en el ionómero de vidrio en comparación a la resina compósita. La bebida que provocó un mayor efecto erosivo fue la Coca-Cola. Se concluye que las tres bebidas carbonatadas provocan un efecto erosivo que afecta la microdureza de los dos materiales de restauración; sin embargo, no todos provocan el mismo efecto erosivo de pérdida de microdureza en unidades Vickers. En este estudio, el ionómero de vidrio se vio mayormente afectado con la pérdida de microdureza en comparación con la resina compósita, que sufrió un daño de microdureza más leve.
REVOLUÇÃO DA IA NA ANÁLISE DE INTELIGÊNCIA NO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO: UMA REVISÃO LITERÁRIA
Authors: Alves  Amanda Kelli Almeida
Published: October 2024

The overall objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of artificial intelligence to optimizing intelligence analysis and decision-making within the scope of the Public Prosecutor's Office. The specific objectives include examining the history and evolution of intelligence activities, as well as describing the types of intelligence analysis applied in the Public Prosecutor's Office. The study aims to highlight fundamental aspects that guide Intelligence Analysis, especially in the context of the Office of the Attorney General, using AI. The methodology used involved a literature review conducted through reliable sources such as SciELO, Google Scholar, and the Public Prosecutor's Office websites. Publications from the period of 2000 to 2024, in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, were selected. Selective filters, such as "Intelligence Analysis," "Intelligence Activity," and "Artificial Intelligence in the Public Prosecutor's Office," were applied to ensure the relevance of the results. Duplicate articles and those not aligned with the study's objective were excluded. Data extraction prioritized relevance concerning the title and objective. The selected works were initially analyzed by titles and abstracts, and subsequently through full-text readings. The definition of intelligence can vary according to the context and perceived threats by those defining it, but it always maintains a fundamental relationship with information. Intelligence activity has been essential since the dawn of civilizations when it was recognized that knowledge is power, a concept that remains relevant. Thus, with the advancement of technology, especially Artificial Intelligence, the processes and operations of individuals and organizations have completely changed. In Brazil, the Brazilian Intelligence System, with roots in military and foreign relations antecedents, began to organize institutionally in 1927. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of a system that promotes cooperation among the various involved agencies, highlighting the importance of intelligence activities within the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP). This body, with multiple functions, acts in both the investigative and judicial phases, ensuring the legal compliance of actions by other investigative bodies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can increase the speed of processes and efficiency in the public sector, offering new methods of solutions. AI uses algorithms that allow machines to perform repetitive tasks in a standardized way, previously carried out by humans. Classified as strategic, tactical, and operational, each type of intelligence has a specific role in planning and executing actions. This study highlights the importance of intelligence today, especially in the MP, with AI revolutionizing the execution of repetitive tasks, promoting greater accuracy and reliability.

Este artigo aborda a situação atual da disseminação da Doença de Chagas na cidade de Barcarena, no estado do Pará e a proposta do desenvolvimento de aplicativo móvel para auxiliar a diminuir a contaminação. O aplicativo detecta todos os pontos de venda de açaí aprovados pela Vigilância Sanitária, além de realizar pedidos por delivery ou reservar o produto para buscar posteriormente. A metodologia será realizada por pesquisa comparativa da quantidade de pessoas que contraíram a doença antes do ano de 2022 e depois quando o aplicativo for implantado. Outra abordagem é o incentivo dos comerciantes não certificados a regularizarem os seus pontos de venda. Os resultados esperados são o cadastro de todos os pontos regulares, inclusive os que não obtinham a licença e depois foram aprovados, consequentemente, o aumento dos pontos certificados e a diminuição da propagação da doença.
LIDERANÇA E MOTIVAÇÃO NA ORGANIZAÇÃO DE EQUIPES.
Authors: Melo Emerson Martins de
Published: October 2024

The concept of leadership and team motivation has been addressed over time in business organizations and religious institutions, always aiming at eventual satisfactory growth. Leadership and team motivation have become the main focus to achieve the desired results, focusing on the leader as the team motivator. It is observed that a good salary alone no longer meets the needs of employees, traditionally seen as a motivator; practices that promote appreciation and personal fulfillment are becoming increasingly important for collaborative development. This article discusses the concepts of leadership and motivation in the context of teams, both in business organizations and in religious institutions. Effective leadership and combined motivation are essential factors for the success of teams, especially in the search for satisfactory results for the whole. The study analyzes how the leader can motivate and influence, highlighting the importance of valuing work in the collaborative context. Using a bibliographic methodology, the article explores the fundamental characteristics that a leader must possess, such as indispensable character, motivational skills and the ability to give and receive feedback, in addition to examining leadership based on the model of Christ. The methodology is characterized as bibliographic and, after analyzing several authors, it can be concluded that the leader contributes greatly to the motivation of his/her employees. However, the desire to want more, to seek the fulfillment of dreams and the enthusiasm to give one's best come from each individual, thus contributing to the desired end result.

A leptospirose, zoonose endêmica no Brasil, é amplamente associada à falta de saneamento básico e a condições climáticas específicas. Este estudo analisou a prevalência da leptospirose em São Luís (MA) entre 2010 e 2022 e sua correlação com a precipitação pluviométrica. Dados epidemiológicos foram obtidos do DATASUS, enquanto as informações climáticas vieram do INMET. A análise revelou um total de 266 casos de leptospirose no período, com o maior número de infecções em 2011 (42 casos) e o menor em 2016 (12 casos). A doença afetou principalmente pessoas entre 20 e 59 anos, predominantemente do sexo masculino (78%). A correlação entre a incidência da leptospirose e o volume de chuvas foi significativa (r = 0,7692; p < 0,01), especialmente nos meses de maior precipitação (janeiro a junho), sugerindo uma forte associação entre o aumento das chuvas e a propagação da doença. Esses achados destacam a necessidade de medidas preventivas em períodos chuvosos, especialmente em áreas com infraestrutura inadequada, para mitigar o impacto da leptospirose na população.

The presence of spirituality in the daily life of society is indisputable, even those who say they have no religious affiliation believe in the existence of a God or a superior force that helps to deal with traumas, conflicts and/or decision-making. Psychology comprises a branch of fundamental questions with in-depth discussions about the integrative aspects of the human being. Spiritual questions aim to establish answers to the invisible, in the belief and faith of the community, presenting themselves as a tool for integration in therapeutic management. The study is highly necessary, as it addresses the bio-psycho-social-spiritual being that resides in each man and woman. On the other hand, reaffirm that spirituality cannot be ignored when it is manifested in the therapeutic environment, as the aforementioned manifestation comes from the subjective element of that being.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are responsible for one third of all deaths worldwide, with immutable risk factors such as age and gender, but also mutable factors such as sedentary lifestyles, obesity, hypertension and alcohol consumption. Given this scenario, there is a need to stratify the risk of individuals. The Coronary Calcium Score (CCS) is a tool used in non-contrast CT scans to stratify cardiovascular risk by quantifying the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the coronary calcium score profile of patients at a private service in Aracaju/SE. METHODS: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, documentary, descriptive and retrospective study, produced by evaluating tomography reports for calcium score, performed on outpatients, in a private service in Aracaju-SE, between January 1 and December 31, 2023. A total of 227 examination reports were obtained. The inclusion criteria were imaging reports from January to December 2023. Duplicate exams, exams of other areas of the body and exams outside the period listed for the research were excluded. RESULTS: Our sample consisted of 125 women and 102 men, with no difference in mean age between them, whose mean calcification was 215.46. Men had higher overall mean values for calcium score and calcification volume than women, as well as for the arterial territories (DA, CX and CD), with the exception of the TCE, for which there was no difference between the genders. CONCLUSION: These data reveal a higher proportion of women undergoing examinations compared to men. Although most of the individuals in the study did not have significant coronary calcification, it was observed that, among the cases of significant calcification, men were more affected than women.

Published: October 2024

In this work, we seek to build a literature review, based on the last 10 years, about the contributions of supplementation with Omega 3 to the health and cognition of children and adolescents. Through the research, it is noticed a positive relationship between Omega 3 supplementation and child health. In particular, therapeutic potential is observed in children with depressive conditions, with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and those who are autistic. In addition, Omega 3 prevents inflammatory diseases, cancer, cardiovascular problems and chronic diseases. Polyunsaturated fatty acids influence cellular signaling pathways and have the potential to modulate inflammatory processes in the body, reducing the synthesis of inflammatory mediators that lead to the degradation of arachidonic acid. Its consumption should be started by pregnant women, as it brings benefits to the formation of the human organism, protecting the cardiovascular health, brain health and visual system of the fetus, also preventing postpartum depression.
When Euphoria Turns to Neuropathy: Vitamin B12 Deficiency Related to Nitrous Oxide
Authors: Wu Olivia , Short Trevor , Chu Gary
Published: October 2024

Background: Nitrous oxide is a widely abused inhalant known for its rapid onset of euphoric sensations. Chronic use, however, can result in functional vitamin B12 deficiency, causing megaloblastic anemia, peripheral neuropathy, and subacute combined degeneration (SCD) of the spinal cord. Case Presentation: This case report examines a 43-year-old male with a history of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and chronic back pain, who presented with neurological symptoms secondary to chronic nitrous oxide use, subsequent B12 deficiency. The patient reported a one week history of lower extremity swelling, paresthesias, and vertigo. He admitted to daily nitrous oxide use for the past month. Neurological examination revealed ataxia, impaired proprioception, and a positive Romberg test. Laboratory studies showed macrocytic anemia and a severely decreased B12 level. MRI of the cervical spine revealed T2 hyperintensity in the dorsal columns, consistent with SCD. He was treated with intramuscular B12 and advised to discontinue nitrous oxide use. At a three-month follow-up, significant neurological improvement was noted, allowing him to return to work. Conclusion: Chronic nitrous oxide use can lead to functional B12 deficiency and subacute combined degeneration, a potentially reversible condition if treated early. Differential diagnoses include pernicious anemia, malabsorption syndromes, and other neurological disorders. Prompt diagnosis through serum B12, methylmalonic acid, homocysteine levels, and spinal imaging is essential to prevent permanent neurological damage. Nitrous oxide abuse is an emerging cause of B12 deficiency. Early recognition and intervention are essential for recovery. Healthcare providers should consider B12 deficiency in patients presenting with neurological symptoms and a history of nitrous oxide use.

Authors: Patel Ayushi , Mehta Aditya
Published: October 2024

The digital world is reshaping the purchase of streetwear products across generations. The fashion-obsessed teenager has prompted marketers to enter an experimental market in which online content provides value and generates engagement. In recent years, streetwear has increased in popularity, changing from a more casual and everyday aesthetic to making appearances in high fashion. The study of the paper is on the impact of streetwear clothing on Generation Z and how social media brand portals have affected the customer-brand relationship.

China's growth began in 2010, when it overtook Japan to become the world's second largest economy after the United States. This has piqued the interest of countries in the region seeking development possibilities from China. Furthermore, in order to accomplish a great power's strategic ambitions in the twenty-first century, China must set strong goals, with the economy serving as the driving force behind all of its development operations. And the Philippines, a neighbouring country with many characteristics that coincide with China's political, economic, and diplomatic goals, has emerged as a key player in China's rise. While after independence in 1946, the Philippines became a close ally of the United States. When the cold war ended, the US no longer paid much attention to Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. Afterward, the US returned to isolationism, withdrawing its troops from two military bases in "Clark" and "Subic" (1992) which created a power vacuum in Southeast Asia. This has created conditions for China to increase its influence in the region through activities related to the South China Sea.
