Published: July 2023

The objective of this study was to systematically investigate and review studies on the concept of vulnerability associated with the health of the older population. Articles were selected, filtered, and analyzed following the steps recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Screening and data extraction were performed independently by 2 reviewers using templates developed by the authors. Data extracted included specific details about population, interest, and context. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they: 1) were cross-sectional or prospective, 2) involved community-dwellers aged ≥60 years, 3) were published in the last 10 years, and 4) had as a concept vulnerability associated with the health of the older population. A total of 833 studies were identified and screened, 26 of which were included. Most included studies addressed vulnerability in older adults as an individual aspect, whether biological or psychological. The remaining studies reported vulnerability as affecting socio-environmental, health care system, and multifactorial aspects. Therefore, the concept of “vulnerability in older people” was not properly defined in the biomedical scientific community. When we return to the guiding question of this review, we can conclude that the conditions of vulnerability of older people are being treated broadly and diversely, producing different methodological strategies. The systematic review was conducted in the United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases between August and December 2020 and updated in September 2022, with registration number CRD42022361649.
Analysis of the Knowledge Payment Phenomenon of Chinese Women (Age 25-49)
Authors: Tao Pinyan
Published: July 2023

China's Internet penetration rate continues to rise, and the scale of smartphone users continues to expand, providing the soil for the development of the knowledge payment industry. Among the industry's consumer groups, female Chinese consumers play an important but rarely discussed the role. The article will use Jean Baudrillard's consumer society theory to discuss the payment motivation of Chinese female consumers. Baudrillard believes that in a consumer society, women become the group with the most consumption power. The article will use a specific female-target app, Jane's academy, as an example to analyze the reasons for the knowledge payment in China from the four perspectives. First, women in society pay for knowledge products to ease their anxiety about facing all types of work and family problems. After they pay for the products, they would have the illusion that the problem in their life has been fixed already. Second, women, as an individual nowadays, focus on self-improvement, and they are willing to invest in themselves. Third, the influence of Chinese traditional culture creates an atmosphere in Chinese society that learning is the most effective way to promote people's social status. Fourth, paying for knowledge is a consequence of the common anxiety of human beings in the Information Age. In a nutshell, an attempt to relieve anxiety lies behind the phenomenon of knowledge paymentt.

Authors: Siddiqui Muhammad Aazam
Published: July 2023

Wear is very important phenomena which play a vital role while designing any component. It directly affects the life of the component. Abrasive wear phenomena are simply caused by the passage of relatively hard particles or asperities over a surface. Abrasive wear simply includes division of two surface parts by abrasion of other mating surface that is situated between the friction areas. A systematic study of abrasive wear of Silicon has been carried out using a two body pin-on-disc wear machine. The objective of this study is to evaluate the abrasive wear of organophosphate by grinding it at different load at different rpm. In this thesis a study of abrasive wear of organophosphate at different speed were given to analyze the possibility of wear. A review of abrasive wear behavior of organophosphate using different wear rate speed has been discussed in this thesis. Mainly focus on the varying wear condition during varying rpm. as we all know that wear is very important parameter which directly affects the life of a component. The goal of this study was to evaluate abrasive wear only. Key Words: Abrasive wear, Behaviour of organophosphate, Wear rate
Evaluation of CI Engine Performance, Emissions, and Combustion Characteristics Using Corn Biofuel Blend with Divergent Cr's and Exhaust Gas Recirculation
Authors: JHA ADITYA
Published: July 2023

This thesis investigates the potential of corn oil biodiesel as a renewable alternative fuel for diesel engines. An experimental study is conducted to enhance the engine characteristics of corn oil blended diesel through various approaches, including adjusting the compression ratio, employing different exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates, and incorporating Nano additives into the fuel. Preliminary examinations of corn oil methyl ester (COME) blends at 10%, 20%, and 30% reveal that the COME20 blend outperforms the others, establishing it as the preferred blend for further investigation. Subsequently, the investigation proceeds with COME20 at different load and speed conditions. The experimental results demonstrate notable improvements in engine performance. Specifically, at a compression ratio of 20:1 (CR20:1) compared to 18:1 (CR18:1), brake thermal efficiency increases by 2.72%, and brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) decreases by 7.8%. Furthermore, significant reductions in exhaust emissions, including carbon monoxide (17.64%), unburnt hydrocarbons (13.8%), and smoke opacity (3.5%), are observed. However, there is an increase in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. In terms of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the addition of 6% and 12% EGR to COME20-CR20 results in reduced NOx emissions compared to diesel. Notably, the 12% EGR exhibits a greater reduction in NOx emissions but compromises engine performance to a greater extent than the 6% EGR. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of optimizing engine design (compression ratio), control (EGR rate), and fuel reformulation (COME biodiesel blending) to facilitate the efficient utilization of COME biodiesel blended diesel fuel in compression ignition (CI) engines. The findings contribute to the advancement of renewable fuel technologies and offer insights for future developments in the field of sustainable transportation.

Power line Voltage Sag Mitigation by Dynamic Voltage Restorer using ANN optimization Technique Approach
Authors: Dhas Dr. G Justin Sunil
Published: July 2023

Voltage sag is one of the most severe power quality disturbances to be dealt with by the industrial sector, as it can cause severe process disruptions and results in substantial economic loss. A short-term decreasein voltage lasting anywhere from milliseconds up to a few seconds is called voltage sag. At present, a wide range of very flexible controllers, which capitalize on newly available power electronics components, are emerging for custom power applications. Among these, the distribution static compensator (D- STATCOM) and the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) are most effective devices for mitigation of voltage sag, both of them based on the voltage source converter (VSC) principle. A DVR injects a voltage in series with the system voltage and a D-STATCOM injects a current into the system to correct the voltage sag. Control unit is the heart of DVR and D- STATCOM where the main function of it is to detect the presence of voltage sag in the system and calculating the required compensating voltage for the above compensating devices. Due to approximation in the process of the control design the existing control schemes used for DVR and D-STATCOM have some tracking error. This work evaluates the performance of the above compensating devices with a novel algorithm called two neuron control algorithm for simultaneous sag compensation and replenishing dc bus energy. This algorithm uses the simplest pre-sag supply voltage boosting technique. Besides, a self-charging technique is used which maintains the dc capacitor voltage at the desired level. The salient advantages of this method are compensating long duration deeper voltage sags, reduction in size of dc-link capacitor and simplicity of algorithm for digital implementation. Comprehensive results are presented to assess the performance of the two neuron control algorithm for each device as a potential custom power solution.

The Tragedy of the Commons and the Battle For Water in Mexico
Authors: A. Stanwick Peter , D. Stanwick Sarah
Published: July 2023

Published in 1968, Garrett Hardin’s article entitled “The Tragedy of the Commons” has been a foundational article in both environmental and corporate social responsibility research. Hardin argues that there are a finite number of natural resources in the world and these resources can only support a finite population. Hardin also argues that individuals will not take a utilitarian approach in the management of resources that are available to all. The tragedy of the commons theory is that if people have access to “free” resources, they will abuse the privilege in using them. Elinor Ostrom responded to the Tragedy of the Commons theory with her seminal work “Governing the Commons” which presents the argument that self-governing institutional arrangements made among critical stakeholders can effectively manage the commons. The article concludes with an example of the challenges in Mexico for managing the commons of water, and the challenges and successes of stakeholders self-governing this vital resource.

Sinergia es una técnica de investigación etnográfica reflexiva que aborda las representaciones sociales sobre gestión escolar de una comunidad educativa en el contexto rural colombiano. Sinergia es un modelo abierto socio dinámico de contemplar la realidad en varias dimensiones, cuya finalidad es la diversificación de procesos mentales como el análisis, la síntesis y la extrapolación. Desde las palabras (versiones de los informantes), la interpretación de la gestualidad y también las actitudes como elementos constitutivos de la representación social. Desde una visión genealógica-estructuralista se puede distinguir elementos esenciales de las actitudes y las representaciones sociales como una relación centro-periferia. La propuesta de solución emerge desde la voz del participante, en reflexividad social, desde su universo cultural. Guber (1988).
Spatio-Temporal Trend Analysis of Reference Evapotranspiration in Central Luzon, Philippines
Authors: Caguiat Lea , Saludes Ronaldo , Castro Marion Lux , Lampayan Rubenito
Published: July 2023

Understanding trends in reference evapotranspiration (ETₒ) and their influencing factors is crucial for calculations of irrigation requirements and water management. Meteorological data in Central Luzon (1985–2019) were used to estimate ETₒ using the FAO Penman-Monteith method. Spatial and temporal ETₒ trends were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator. Correlation and sensitivity analyses were conducted to analyze the impact of weather variables on ETₒ. Positive correlations were observed for maximum temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed whereas negative correlations were observed for relative humidity and minimum temperature. In general, ETₒ was statistically dependent and most sensitive to solar radiation, maximum temperature, and relative humidity. ETₒ in the stations surrounded by mountains was consistently lower than the stations in the agricultural areas by 197 and 207 mm for the dry season and annual basis, respectively. The increasing trends with a magnitude of 3.98 mm/yr in annual ETₒ were caused by the rising trend in solar radiation and maximum temperature and a decreasing trend in relative humidity. The decreasing ETₒ trend (–2.6 to –4.63 mm/yr) predominant in the study area was mainly attributed to the decreasing trend of solar radiation and wind speed. Areas with increasing ETₒ trends indicate the need for supplemental irrigation. Decreasing ETₒ trends may indicate climate change, land-use change, or human-related factors.

Published: July 2023

The growing crustacean aquaculture industry in the Philippines is a significant contributor to the seafood production sector. However, several problems hinder the growth and overall market production, the main factor being diseases. Previous studies observed that temperature changes affect shrimp’s physiological and immunological responses to different pathogens and parasites; hence, this meta-analysis examined the correlation of white spot disease (WSD) and acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) with atmospheric temperature changes. The analysis was conducted using the available data from the Quarterly Aquatic Animal Disease report of the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia Pacific, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration. Results indicated that temperatures ranging from 27–28 °C generally cause higher disease occurrences in the Philippines, as it facilitates optimum conditions for the infectivity of the causative agents of both diseases. Statistical analysis also has shown a positive correlation of temperature to the disease occurrence, indicating that temperature monitoring is crucial, especially in the culture of shrimps in a controlled environment. This information will serve as a guide to the fish health and aquaculture industry in mitigating possible disease outbreaks.

Published: July 2023

One challenge in adapting to energy generation using solar photovoltaic (PV) modules is its variability with changing weather conditions. In this study, we aim to determine the effect of meteorological parameters that have the most effect on the variability of solar energy generation (SEG). Our study is conducted in Quezon City, part of the National Capital Region, Philippines. The maximum temperature, relative humidity, man temperature, and cloud opacity have the most effect on the variability of the SEG among the eight meteorological parameters that we consider in our study based on the principal component regressor (PCR) and random forest regressor (RFR) machine learning algorithms. The PCR model explains 55.5 and 49.2% variability in SEG of the training and test sets, respectively. On the other hand, the RFR model explains a 77.1% variation of the SEG in the training and 52.7% in the test set. Furthermore, the two models provided comparable predictions of SEG.

Ceramic and Polymeric Composite Materials used in Reinforcing UHMWPE for Improved Mechanical and Tribological Properties in Orthopedic Applications
Authors: Balivada Santosh K. , Nayak Gayathri , Johnson Chelsea , Ahmed Syed J. , Appagana Sathvik S.
Published: July 2023

UHMWPE is a popular choice of biomaterial for joint replacements, particularly in hip, knee, and shoulder replacement procedures, notably as sliding material in between the load bearing surfaces due to its superior biocompatibility, tensile yield, impact strength, and high crystallinity. Even though it has good mechanical qualities, it has a relatively low wear resistance, which causes wear particles to shred and trigger immunological reactions and possibly osteolysis. This also has an impact on the implant’s lifetime. The wear issue can be solved using a variety of approaches, including thermal therapy and antioxidant infusion. The mechanical qualities suffer as a result of these methods’ efficacy in addressing tribological problems. One such way of reducing wear and oxidation rates while preserving mechanical characteristics is reinforcing the conventional UHMWPE with various composite materials. In this review the tensile and tribological properties of such ceramic and polymeric materials like zirconia, hydroxyapatite, carbon nanotube and graphene are evaluated. This review will investigate several ceramic and polymer-based fillers as an alternative to currently used methods such as improved radiation cross-linking and antioxidant treatment. CNT reinforced UHMWPE is still in the testing stage and is not yet on the market due to biocompatibility concerns. However, when compared to their competitors, their tribological properties are adequate but not exceptional. The best tensile properties are found in hydroxyapatite reinforced UHMWPE (but only at high concentrations such as 30wt%), followed by CNT. They do not have biocompatibility issues like CNT because of their structural similarity to natural bone. They also outperform CNT and ATZ composites in terms of tribological properties. As a result, they are best suited for reinforcement (with UHMWPE).

Authors: Pinheiro Rómulo , Balbachevsky Elizabeth , Pillay Pundy , Yonezawa Akiyoshi
Published: July 2023

COVID-19 has provided a historical opportunity to test the resilient nature of higher education (HE) systems and institutions (HEIs) around the world. This at a time when the sector experiences profound structural changes, resulting from major societal transformations such as urbanization, digitalization, de-globalization, political polarization and democratic decline; growing social and economic inequality; demographic decline and, chief amongst all the ‘grand challenges’, climate change and the quest for a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive world economy and society. This chapter provides a conceptual and empirical backdrop for mapping out the types of responses around the globe to the challenges and strategic opportunities brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, so as to help unpack the effects such responses are likely to have on the institutional fabric of HE. In so doing, it is critical to understand how local actors/stakeholders at different levels of analysis (from policy makers to university managers to academics) make sense of (or enact upon) the changing external environment.

This chapter explains the book’s structure and also discusses the concept of health, how it is distinguished from disease on the one hand and enhancement on the other. While the definition of health of the World Health Organization from the 1940s is still popular, researchers recently developed a new concept which comprises six dimensions of human life; it also covers the active role of patients (self-management and adaptation) and the special interests of people living with chronic medical conditions, whose number keeps increasing.
Συμβολή στον πολυπαραμετρικό σχεδιασμό αστικών οδικών δικτύων με έμφαση στην οδική ασφάλεια, το περιβάλλον και τη βιώσιμη αστική κινητικότητα
Authors: Καραγιάννης Κωνσταντίνος
Published: July 2023

Τα αστικά οδικά δίκτυα είναι σύνθετα και ποικιλόμορφα. Λόγω της έλλειψης ολοκληρωμένου πλαισίου σχεδιασμού, τα ελληνικά αστικά οδικά δίκτυα, έχουν διαμορφωθεί διαχρονικά με τρόπο αδόκιμο, προσπαθώντας να εξυπηρετήσουν την ολοένα και αυξανόμενη χρήση του αυτοκινήτου. Επιπροσθέτως, λόγω της απουσίας αναλυτικών προδιαγραφών υλοποίησης, τα αστικά δίκτυα παραμένουν συχνά επικίνδυνα, μη προσβάσιμα και μη λειτουργικά.

La coopetencia como un fenómeno emergente. Un modelo basado en agentes
Authors: Sánchez Rodríguez Salvador , Ramírez Alatriste Fernando
Published: July 2023

El presente manuscrito da una muestra de la coopetencia, como fenómeno emergente entre los comercios pequeños que se encuentran en zonas geográficas determinadas, ya sea por tradición u otra circunstancia, y que buscan atraer clientes a su negocio mediante el uso y la implementación de estrategias comerciales. En primer lugar, nos encontraremos con una investigación teórica, que brinda un panorama general sobre los conceptos utilizados para generar las diferentes dinámicas dentro del modelado en Netlogo y que nos permiten establecer una serie de reglas que determinan el comportamiento de los agentes compradores y vendedores, con base principalmente en la experiencia regional de México. Posteriormente, se describen las observaciones y los resultados estadísticos obtenidos —gracias al análisis de comportamiento que el programa Netlogo generó—, que muestran la sobrevivencia de los agentes vendedores a lo largo del tiempo y que está en correlación con la maximización de utilidad de los agentes compradores. Finalmente,se contrastan estos hallazgos con otros estudios teóricos y se genera una discusión que nos permite llegar a la conclusión de que la coopetencia es un fenómeno emergente del cual debe surgir una mayor investigación para comprender la fenomenología.

Authors: Amarante Verónica , Bucheli Marisa , Lara Martínez Maria Cecilia
Published: July 2023

Este artículo analiza el grado de consenso entre los economistas en relación con varios temas económicos para el caso uruguayo. Se encuentra que los niveles de consenso son menores a los de otros países aunque los disensos también los son, predominando un nivel modesto de acuerdos. Los mayores niveles de acuerdo se detectan en preguntas relativas a discriminación y, en menor medida, a temas ambientales. También se encuentra acuerdo en la necesidad de mayor equidad de ingresos y en la importancia del rol del Estado para alcanzarla, pero no hay consenso sobre las herramientas redistributivas más apropiadas. En base a un análisis de correspondencia múltiple y utilizando la metodología de clusters, se distinguen dos grupos diferenciados en función de sus opiniones sobre temas económicos, los cuales están fuertemente asociados a su ideología y la posición ideológica de los padres.

Authors: Elbakry Mahmoud , Mubark Islam , Sarhan Islam , Mertz Tamara , Ashwood Neil , Hamlet Mark
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is performed with yearly rate of 9% in UK, and <8% in USA. It has been shown to be a successful and less invasive alternative to complete knee arthroplasty in certain patients total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Fracture of the femoral component after (UKA) has never been reported in the literature. Consequently, to investigate the major causes and mechanisms of (UKA) failure, we present a case of femoral component failure following (UKA). Case Report: A 62-year-old patient with 2 years following an UKA presented with a right pain, stiffness, and gait abnormalities. After taking full history and careful examination and obtaining a new radiograph, a fracture of the femoral component was revealed. A revision surgery with TKA has been done, and the outcome was assessed regularly, and good results were achieved. Conclusion: The exact reason for a femoral component fracture following UKA is yet unknown. To make an early diagnosis and avoid the need for complex knee revision surgeries, long-term follow-up is crucial for early detection of the clinical signs and symptoms of implant failure.
Fishtail Deformity after Type 2 Supracondylar Humerus Fracture with Development of Symptomatic Loose Body: A Case Report
Authors: Sawyer Ethan , Muchow Ryan , Wilson Benjamin
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fractures are one of the most common fractures in children and have been reported to represent up to 16% of all pediatric fractures. While most fractures heal uneventfully with appropriate treatment, there are several known complications that can occur including loss of motion, malunion, and neurovascular injury. One uncommon, yet significant, complication is termed the “Fishtail” deformity. This is represented radiographically with apparent proximal migration of the trochlea, which is thought to be secondary to avascular necrosis and resulting growth arrest. Case Report: This case describes a 11-year-old male who developed a fishtail deformity at age 5, 5 months after percutaneous pinning of a Type II supracondylar humerus fracture. Initially demonstrating a tolerable loss of elbow range of motion (ROM) and being lost to follow-up, he returned 7-years postoperatively, demonstrating diffuse elbow degenerative changes and worsening mechanical symptoms secondary to a loose body which necessitated arthroscopic debridement and loose body removal. Conclusion: This case illustrates the rare fishtail deformity in a Type II supracondylar humerus fracture with acute onset mechanical symptoms of the elbow secondary to a large loose body. Patients with history of supracondylar humerus fractures can develop acute or worsening changes in elbow ROM secondary to the development of osteochondral loose bodies even in the setting of previously known motion deficits secondary to fishtail deformities. Keywords: Fishtail deformity, supracondylar humerus, gartland Type II.
Other neighbourhoods, other worlds: Gentrification and contemporary speculative fictions
Authors: Peacock James
Published: July 2023

This article analyses three novels which employ speculative fictional elements to explore gentrification: Reggie Nadelson’s Londongrad (2009), K. Chess’s Famous Men Who Never Lived (2019) and N. K. Jemisin’s The City We Became (2020). Although these novels are set in western cities – London and New York – Peacock argues that their speculative conventions reflect a conception of the city as ‘planetary’, as what Hyun Bang Shin describes ‘as unbounded space, understood as being constituted through its relationships, including flows and networks, with other places’. These novels use the trope of alternate worlds partly as metaphor for the clash of different views of authenticity in gentrifying spaces; partly as metaphor for diversity, migration and the alienation of global extraterritoriality; but also partly as a means of decentralizing the western city or to propose multiple, competing centralities at all spatial levels – domestic, neighbourhood, civic and beyond. In so doing they offer, in divergent ways, critiques of and symbolic alternatives to neo-liberal gentrification.
CIVETS Ülkelerinde Ekolojik Denge Üzerindeki Şokların Kalıcılığının Araştırılması: Doğrusal ve Doğrusal Olmayan Fourier Testlerden Kanıtlar
Authors: DÜRRÜ Zerrin , KONAT Gökhan
Published: July 2023

Ekolojik denge, ekosistemin talep ve arz yönünü ifade eden ekolojik ayak izi ve biyokapasite arasındaki farkla ölçülmekte olup, ekolojik ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik için önemli bir çevresel kalite sunucusudur. Bu doğrultuda ekolojik dengenin sağlanmasında uygulanan ya da uygulanacak politikaların tasarımı önemli olduğu kadar, bu politikaların etkinliğini tespit etmede şokların etkileri de belirleyici olmaktadır. Şokların tespiti, politika yapıcıların gelecek için uygun politikalar tasarlaması, uygulaması ve etkinliğini formüle etmeleri için önemli bir girdi olarak görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, 1961-2018 döneminde CIVETS ülkeleri için ekolojik denge üzerindeki şokların kalıcılığı hem doğrusal ve doğrusal olmayan birim kök testleri ile hem de ani ve yumuşak geçişli kırılmaları dikkate alan testlerden faydalanılarak araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, ele alınan dönemde CIVETS ülkeleri için ekolojik dengenin durağan yapıda olmadığı dolayısıyla meydana gelen şokların kalıcı olduğu yani birbirine yakınsamadığı yönünde gerçekleşmiştir. Bu kalıcı şokları ortalamaya geri döndürmek için çevresel idari politikaların uygulamaya alınmasının da yol gösterici nitelikte olacağı öneri olarak sunulmuştur.

Приведены результаты исследований в полевых опытах по изучению степени насыщения севооборотов зерновыми культурами и бессменными посевами озимой пшеницы и ячменя на склоновом ландшафте предгорной части Чеченской Республики. Проведен мониторинг (2017 – 2021 гг.) сорной растительности по биологическим группам и учет урожайности сельскохзяйственных культур по вариантам опыта. Наименьшее количество сорных растений установлено в двухпольном севообороте «чёрный пар–озимая пшеница» с долей чёрного пара 50 %, наибольшее — в бессменных посевах ярового ячменя и озимой пшеницы. Наименьшая урожайность формировалась у озимой пшеницы при бессменных посевах, наибольшая — в двухпольном севообороте. Наименьший выход зерна с 1 га в совокупности по севооборотам в бессменном посеве озимой пшеницы составил 1,78 т/га. В пятипольном севообороте «чёрный пар – озимая пшеница – яровая пшеница горох – яровой ячмень» выход зерна с единицы севооборотной площади был выше на 57 %, чем на бессменном посеве озимой пшеницы, на 37 % выше, чем на бессменном посеве ярового ячменя, на 36 % выше, чем на двухпольном севообороте «чёрный пар – озимая пшеница», на 14 % выше, чем на трёхпольном севообороте «чёрный пар – озимая пшеница – яровой ячмень», на 5 % выше, чем на четырёхпольном севообороте «чёрный пар – озимая пшеница – яровая пшеница – яровой ячмень», составив 2,79 т/га.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar a percepção dos pais em relação ao tempo de uso de jogos de videogame ativo, por sexo e grupos de idade. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo transversal. Foram sujeitos do estudo 120 pais e/ou responsáveis de escolares de 6 a 13 anos de duas escolas da Rede Privada da região central de Londrina. A média de idade dos escolares foi de 9,3±1,7 anos. Utilizou-se um questionário auto administrado aos pais, adaptado do Active Gaming Questionnaire. Os dados foram analisados pelo SPSS 20.0, por meio de frequências, média e desvio padrão. O teste U de Mann-Whitney e o teste exato de Fisher foram utilizados tendo nível de significância de 5%. Os escolares utilizam o videogame ativo de 1 a 2 dias na semana e tanto durante a semana (95,8%), quanto durante o final de semana (88,3%), jogam videogames ativos por até 2h/dia. Não houve associações nem entre o sexo, nem entre os grupos de idade, tanto durante a semana (p=0,059 vs p=0,939), quanto durante o final de semana (p=0,118 vs p=0,924), respectivamente. Também não houve diferença significativa nos índices médios de tempo (minutos) de uso de videogame ativo pelos escolares, nem por sexo, nem por grupos de idade, tanto durante a semana (p=0,083 vs p=0,610), quanto durante o final de semana (p=0,086 vs p=0,506), respectivamente. A percepção dos pais em relação ao tempo de uso de jogos de videogame ativos de seus filhos não evidenciaram diferenças significativas entre o tempo de utilização do videogame ativo e as variáveis sexo e faixa etária. Nesse sentido, não podemos afirmar que há um padrão diferenciado de uso dos videogames ativos entre rapazes e moças e nem que há diferenciação entre adolescentes mais novos e mais velhos.

Las habilidades del pensamiento superior son una de las premisas que las organizaciones de educación superior están desarrollando por medio de variadas estrategias cognitivas tanto en el área de pregrado como posgrado. El objetivo es comparar el nivel de habilidad de abstracción de los estudiantes de pregrado y postgrado, para el establecimiento de estrategias de pensamiento de alto nivel cognitivo. La metodología empleada es cuantitativa con un diseño mixto, descriptivo,  estadístico y un análisis de clasificación de 5 experimentos programados en lenguaje R, a una muestra de dos cursos de formación de profesorado que se implementó un test de estrategias (N=81), los resultados destacan los buenos niveles de abstracción de los estudiantes con un 30,9% de nivel óptimo, 23,5% nivel bueno, 37,0% nivel satisfactorio y un 8,6% nivel insatisfactorio, el género femenino tiene mejor rendimiento con 13,3 puntos sobre el género masculino, en el caso del programa Pedagogía obtienen un mejor nivel de abstracción que los de Máster. Se concluye que las estrategias utilizadas para desarrollar niveles cognitivos altos deben ser diversas y con una intencionalidad formativa, y con una enseñanza explícita de habilidades y el porqué de su uso en estos programas de formación de profesorado. Finalmente, los docentes deben tener conciencia que habilidades cognitivas inferiores requieren para lograr las superiores, porque la abstracción requiere de habilidades anteriores como lo es analizar y sintetizar para poder lograrla.

Competencies Associated With Australian and New Zealand Podiatrists’ Perceptions of Their Preparedness for Graduate Clinical Practice
Authors: Reynolds Katrina , Rathbone Evelyne , McLean Michelle
Published: July 2023

Podiatry training institutions are responsible for preparing future podiatrists to be competent and safe practitioners. This follow-up study investigated podiatrists’ self-reported preparedness to practice through their ratings of various competencies. An online retrospective survey comprising closed and open-ended questions was distributed to registered and practising podiatrists in Australia and New Zealand. Of the 74 podiatrists who completed the survey, 75.7% felt “prepared” for clinical practice at graduation, with preparedness univariately associated with being female (p = .042), overall perception of clinical competence (p = .004), preparedness for clinical placement as a student (p < .001), theoretical knowledge (p < .001), manual skills (p = .002), and clinical competence standards (p < .001). Multivariable analysis identified preparedness for student clinical placement (OR = 8.95, 95%CI 1.92 – 41.76) and overall theoretical knowledge (OR = 19.29, 95%CI 3.76 – 99.13) being significantly associated with perceived preparedness for practice. Age, qualification, and graduation year were not associated with perceived preparedness. Positive clinical placement experiences enhanced their perceived preparedness, while limited clinical exposure hindered preparedness, potentially resulting in a probable theory-practice gap, and lowered professional self-efficacy. While generally feeling prepared to practice as podiatrists at graduation, they identified the need for additional hands-on learning with early patient exposure in diverse settings during their training, which should improve self-efficacy.
Blokklánc technológia alkalmazásának lehetőségei a turizmusban
Authors: Árpási Zoltán
Published: July 2023

Az elmúlt néhány év meglehetősen gazdag volt egészségügyi és gazdasági vonatkozású fordulatokban. A kibontakozó gazdasági válság nyomán is újfent előtérbe kerültek a blokklánc alapon működő fizetőeszközök. A technológia azonban nem csak a fizetés lehetőségéről szól. Alkalmazására az élet legkülönfélébb területein lehet példa. A tanulmányban a turizmus ágazat és a blokklánc esetleges kapcsolódási pontjai kerülnek bemutatásra, mivel a technológia képes formálni a turisztikai ipart azáltal, hogy hatékonyabb, biztonságosabb és átláthatóbb rendszereket hoz létre. Az pedig, hogy milyen gyors lesz a megvalósítás, már a jövő zenéje.
Maków Mazowiecki. Przemijanie zabytkowego charakteru miasta
Authors: Małowiecki Ryszard
Published: July 2023

W 2009 r. powstało opracowanie, które stanowić miało tekst do albumowego wydawnictwa prezentującego zabytki miasta Maków Mazowiecki (fotografi e przekazane Urzędowi Miasta). Album jednak się nie ukazał, ponieważ równocześnie rozpoczęto opracowanie całościowej historii miasta i zapewne z tej przyczyny zrezygnowano z jego wydania. Autor tekstu do albumu uznał jednak, że warto go opublikować z dwóch powodów. Pierwszy to zbyt marginalne potraktowanie w monografi i Makowa Mazowieckiego materialnego dziedzictwa tego miasta, a drugi – prezentowany tekst ma właściwie charakter archiwalny, ponieważ w ciągu minionych lat wiele zabytkowych obiektów w tym mieście przestało istnieć. Wystarczy przejść się obecnie po Makowie, by dostrzec, że w ciągu zaledwie 14 lat wiele się zmieniło, często – niestety – na niekorzyść dla historycznego wizerunku tego miasta.
A POLÊMICA EM TORNO DA IMUNIDADE DO ITBI: ANÁLISE DO ACÓRDÃO DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL NO TEMA 796 DE REPERCUSSÃO GERAL
Authors: Ribeiro Bruno , Nascimento Claudio
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo examina os fundamentos do acórdão do Supremo Tribunal Federal no julgamento do Recurso Extraordinário n. 796.376, bem como as consequências práticas decorrentes da aplicação, pelos fiscos municipais e pelo judiciário, do precedente qualificado formado com fulcro no Tema de Repercussão Geral 796. A partir da análise da imunidade como limitação ao poder de tributar, de precedentes da Corte em casos similares, do conceito de capital social, de reserva de capital, bem como do histórico e da dimensão teleológica da norma imunizante prevista no art. 156, §2º, I, da CRFB/1988, infere-se que o entendimento sedimentado pelo STF no que se refere ao tema em cotejo é profundamente claudicante.
