Allergic contact dermatitis caused by topical corticosteroids: A review for clinicoepidemiological presentation, evaluation, and management aspects
Authors: Mahajan Vikram K. , Sharma Vikas , Sharma Neeraj , Chandel Monika , Verma Rohit
Published: February 2024

Dermatitis medicamentosa or contact dermatitis to topically applied medicaments, active ingredients or excipients, is encountered frequently in clinical practice and should be suspected in patients showing resistance to treatment despite adequate therapy and in patients, who complain of intolerance to a particular treatment. Topical corticosteroids are prescribed mostly in dermatology for their anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive actions to treat various inflammatory dermatoses. These may act as allergens and produce immunoglobulin E-mediated immediate hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis, urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, vomiting, and cardiovascular collapse) or T-cell-mediated allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Although it occurs less often and is not life threatening, ACD negatively impacts the quality of life by worsening preexisting dermatitis. The prevalence of hypersensitivity to these allergens varies across regions and periods of time depending on the clinical practice, prescribing habits, and types of cases studied. Over-the-counter availability of corticosteroids in multiple formulations in recent years may further compound the problem due to their indiscriminate and extensive use. Although about one-third of all cases of contact dermatitis are initiated or perpetuated by topical medicaments, the occurrence of contact dermatitis due to corticosteroids remains undersuspected. This is perhaps due to their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that make it difficult to doubt and prove contact sensitivity that may be from a corticosteroid itself or to the additives and vehicles in the formulation. Patch testing can help identify the culprit agents in ACD but early diagnosis depends on clinical suspicion. Sensitization in contact dermatitis exhibits cross-reactivity patterns based on corticosteroid structure. Clinicoepidemiological presentation, evaluation, and management aspects of contact hypersensitivity reactions to corticosteroids are reviewed.
Türkiye’de Dini Yönetime Destek: Dünya Değerler Araştırması Analizi
Authors: ELÇİ Ezgi
Published: February 2024

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de dini bir yönetime hangi seçmen gruplarının destek verdiğini Dünya Değerler Araştırması verisi kullanarak incelemektedir. Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarından beri dindar muhafazakârlar ve seküler gruplar arasındaki ayrışma bugün de hala devam etmektedir. İki grup arasındaki bu ayrışma daha önceden merkez-çevre teorisi ile açıklansa da yakın dönemde Türkiye siyasetinde yaşanan değişiklikler ile merkez ve çevre arasındaki ayırım bir kültür mücadelesine (kulturkampf) evirilmiştir. Çalışmamız, bu ayrışmanın temel aldığı değişkenler özelinde göstermektedir ki şehirde yaşayan, cinsiyet eşitliğine daha fazla destek veren veya Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi ile Millet İttifakını diğer partilere tercih eden katılımcılar dini yönetime daha az onay vermektedir. Bilime daha şüpheci yaklaşan, sol-sağ düzleminde kendini sağa yerleştiren veya Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi ile Cumhur İttifakını diğer partilere tercih eden seçmenler ise dini yönetime daha fazla destek vermektedir.

Ювенильный идиопатический артрит (ЮИА) является тяжелым заболеванием детского и подросткого возраста, и ответ на терапию во многом обусловлен генетическими различиями. Цель работы заключалась в поиске ассоциаций эффективности терапии метотрексатом у больных ЮИА с различными сочетаниями полиморфных аллельных вариантов генов медиаторов иммунного ответа TNF-α rs1800629, IL10 rs1800872 и IL6 rs1800795. В статье представлен анализ распределения диплотипов IL10/IL6 и триплотипов TNF-α/IL10/IL6. В исследовании приняли участие 239 пациентов, получавших базисную терапию с применением метотрексата. С целью генотипирования использовался метод real-time PCR. В подгруппе больных негативной формой ЮИА обнаружена ассоциация полиморфного варианта IL10 -592C>A с отсутствием эффекта на терапию метотрексатом. Установлено, что при наличии одного аллеля IL10*A повышается вероятность отсутствия ответа на терапию, тогда как наличие генотипа *СС повышает шансы ответа. Идентифицированы диплотип (IL10*АA/IL6*GC) и триплотип (TNF-α*GG/IL10*AA/IL6*GC), достоверно чаще встречающиеся в общей группе больных с диагнозом ЮИА среди пациентов с отсутствием ответа на метотрексат. Предполагается, что полученные результаты при дальнейших исследованиях могут быть использованы в качестве фармакогенетических предикторов эффективности терапии у пациентов с ЮИА.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is ineffective in childhood and adolescence and responds to therapy largely due to genetic differences. The aim of the work was to search for associations of methotrexate therapy in JIA patients with the presence of polymorphic allelic variants of the immune response mediator genes TNF-α rs1800629, IL10 rs1800872 and IL6 rs1800795. The article presents an analysis of the distribution of IL10/IL6 diplotypes and TNF-α/IL10/IL6 triplotypes. The experiments involved 239 patients who received basic therapy with the use of methotrexate. For the purpose of genotyping, the real-time PCR method was used. In the subgroup of RF patients with a negative form of JIA, an association of the polymorphic variant IL10 -592C>A with no effect on methotrexate therapy was found. It has been established that the presence of one IL10 *A allele increases the likelihood of a lack of response to therapy, while the presence of the *CC genotype increases the chances of a response. A diplotype (IL10*АA/IL6*GC) and a triplotype (TNF-α*GG/IL10*AA/ IL6*GC) were identified, which are significantly more common in the general group of patients diagnosed with JIA among patients with no response to methotrexate. It is assumed that the results obtained in further studies can be used as pharmacogenetic predictors of the effectiveness of therapy in patients with JIA.

One of modern humanity’s global scourges is air pollution on account not only of its influence on climate change but also its significant impact on public health. A review of current data on the effects of priority atmospheric air pollutants on human health was carried out. The search was performed using eLIBRARY.RU, Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed, in a time span of 2017–2022. Particulate matter (with a diameter of 2.5 μm (PM2.5) or less and 10 μm (PM10) or less) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were the most widely investigated pollutants in the context of health effects. Recently, however, there has been growing interest in the health effects of ozone. Despite the fact that most of the works were devoted to the study of the influence of pollutants on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, recently the vector of scientific interests shifted to determine the possible role of pollutants in the formation of mental disorders, pathologies of central nervous and endocrine systems, reproductive function. Data on the association of prolonged exposure to nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5, carbon monoxide and ozone with increased morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2 were provided. Prolonged exposure to concentrations well below current standards has been found to have a significant negative impact on the health of both adults and children. Further research in this area is needed to address the possible correction of modern air quality standards.

Galvanic production in terms of the degree of negative impact on the environment occupies a leading position in the global industrial production; therefore, the introduction of regenerative recycling technology is receiving increasing attention. The aim of the present work is to determine the kinetic characteristics of the precipitation reaction in a solution of nickel sulfate with sodium hydroxide to develop a technology for the regeneration utilization of spent solutions of chemical nickel plating (SCNPS). The object of the study was the spent solution of chemical nickel plating of one of the industrial enterprises of Izhevsk. The experiment was carried out in the temperature range 293–333 K at various concentrations of sodium hydroxide (1.25–2.60 M) and nickel sulfate (0.037–0.06 M). To determine the order of the reaction, we plot graphs in the coordinates lg w – lg C(Ni) using the experimental data, where w is the reaction rate. The tangent of the slope of the obtained linear dependences with a high degree of approximation (R2 = 0.98) is close to 2, therefore, the order of the reaction of the deposition of SCNPS with sodium hydroxide is second. With a graphical method for determining the rate constant of a second-order reaction for the dependence 1/С = f(t), the tangent of the slope of the straight line corresponds to the calculated parameter. In the investigated temperature range the rate constant takes values from 5·10-4 to 9·10-4 dm3·mol-1·s-1. The activation energy of the precipitation reaction, determined by the Arrhenius equation by graphic and calculation methods, is 16.57 kJ·mol-1 and 16.44 kJ·mol-1, respectively. The low values of Ea indicate a weak dependence of the reaction rate on temperature. Consequently, the introduction of the technology for the regeneration utilization of SCNPS will not entail large expenditures of energy resources for heating the reaction masses.

The study of the content of biologically active substances in the samples of the bark-wood waste destruction products (BWW) was continued. BWW were taken at a depth of 1 to 27 meters of the bark dump of OJSC Syktyvkar LDK, located in the Forestry microdistrict of Syktyvkar. The hexane-soluble substances content is in ranges from 0.78 to 1.89% of the dry mass of BWW. The minimum content was found in the first (0.24%) and last samples (0.21%) at the minimum and maximum depth, the maximum – in samples at a depth of 3 to 9 m (1.66–1.89%). The variation of the hexane extract (HE) content in BWW’s dry mass depending on the depth of occurrence is not clear. The HE content in the dry ethyl acetate extract is mainly within 50%. The minimum content was found in the first sample at a depth of up to 1.5 m (34.9%), the maximum in the last sample at a depth of 27.0 m, where it reaches 66% of the dry weight of the ethyl acetate extract. The analysis of the obtained hexane extracts by thin-layer chromatography showed that the HE contains substances with a mobility coefficient of 0.61, which coincide with dihydroquercetin and some phenolic acids previously detected in ethyl acetate extracts. Six phenolic compounds were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography in hexane extracts. Protocatechic acid, vanillic acid, trans-p-coumaric acid and its cis isomer were identified by chromatographic and spectral characteristics.

The effect of contamination with technical waste oil on the integral toxicity of sod-podzolic sandy loam soil under field experiment conditions was studied. The integral toxicity of the soil aqueous extract was determined using the «Ecolum» bacterial test, which is a luminescent gene-engineered Escherichia coli. Control soil samples show acceptable levels of toxicity. Soils contaminated with 10 or 20 g/kg doses of petroleum products are moderately toxic. The dose of 30 g/kg makes the soil highly toxic for luminescent microorganisms. The hydrocarbon composition of technical waste oil was determined using spectral coefficients obtained by infrared spectrometry. High content – 6.73% – of aromatic hydrocarbons (the most toxic fraction) was revealed. Correlation analysis between the soil toxicity index, the content of oil products, heavy metals (Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb) and the pH of the soil aqueous extract showed a very strong positive correlation between toxicity and zinc content (r = 0.88) and oil products content (r = 0.83) in the soil, as well as a high negative correlation on soil pH (r = –0.61). The phytomass of plants growing on contaminated sites was determined. A very high inverse correlation (r = –0.82) between the content of oil hydrocarbons in the soil and phytomass confirms that soil contamination with an increased dose of oil products reduces the biomass of the aboveground part of plants. A general tendency to displacement of monocots and their replacement by dicots was observed for polluted soils.

At the moment, the problem of climate change associated with greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere is one of the most urgent in society. The article notes that over the past decades, in order to address issues related to the global climate agenda, economic liability mechanisms for emitters of greenhouse gases have been developed and improved. One of the innovations is the adoption by the European Parliament in 2021 of a mechanism for cross-border regulation through the introduction of an additional fee on goods that emit a large amount of GHG during the production process. At the international and national levels, a number of agreements and legislative acts have been adopted aimed at reducing emissions of climate-active gases and a number of organizations have been created dealing with issues in the field of carbon regulation. The paper presents a retrospective of the main documents aimed at regulating GHG emissions adopted in the Russian Federation. The authors have considered the fundamentals of methodological support of carbon regulation. It is shown that in order to determine the value of the full carbon footprint of economic and other activities, it is necessary to take into account the emission of greenhouse gases at all stages of the life cycle of products and services. The article talks about the existence of methods or software products, in addition to official ones, that allow calculating the carbon footprint of each person. It is noted that at the national level, the scope of mandatory accounting does not include GHG emissions associated with the company’s activities, but generated outside the territory of the reporting organization, which does not allow to estimate the actual value of the carbon load.

The article presents a comparative analysis of the ecological and economic efficiency of the functioning of the natural, social and production systems (NSPS) of the Volga Federal District in the context of its constituent regions. The study is based on the calculation of specific indicators of the environmental intensity of the subjects of the Russian Federation, taking into account three interrelated factors of the functioning of the systems: territorial (extent, area of the subject); social (population); economic (economic resources and opportunities of the region). Thus, in the course of the study, the indicators of environmental intensity were calculated depending on the area of the subject of the Russian Federation, its population and the gross regional product. The article presents a comparative characteristic of the regions of the Volga Federal District according to these indicators, the main conclusions concerning the ecological and economic efficiency of the NSPS of the Volga Federal District are made. The study showed significant differences in the ecological and economic efficiency of the functioning of the NSPS of the regions that make up the Volga Federal District, which indicates significant imbalances in their development. The Republic of Tatarstan has one of the worst indicators of specific emissions in the territorial aspect, but occupies a leading position in terms of specific emissions per unit of gross regional product. In other words, in the Republic much attention is paid to the issues of environmental efficiency of production. The Kirov region can be characterized as a region with a low level of environmental and economic efficiency of the functioning of the NSPS, therefore, in the strategic planning of the territory, special attention should be paid to the introduction of modern low-waste and waste-free production technologies.
Computational Investigations of Potential Antiviral and Immunomodulatory Drugs Targeting CD155 for Polio Treatment
Authors: Hameed Arslan
Published: February 2024

This scientific paper explores the antiviral and immunomodulatory potential of fourteen drugs, including Upadacitinib, Osimertinib, Lopinavir, Linagliptin, Imatinib, Ibrutinib, Flavoxate, Emtricitabine, Elbasvir, Copanlisib, Cabotegravir, Bictegravir, Baricitinib, and Acrivastine, focusing on their interactions with the CD155 receptor—a critical component in polio treatment. CD155, integral to poliovirus entry and host immune modulation, stands as a pivotal target for therapeutic intervention. This research addresses the urgency in treating polio, given its potential to cause severe neurological complications. Effective therapeutic strategies are imperative, with CD155 modulation serving as a promising avenue. Using computational methodologies, including NAMD simulations, molecular dynamics (MD), and molecular docking, this study elucidates the stability and interactions of the aforementioned drugs with CD155. The findings suggest stable binding configurations, indicating the potential of these drugs as antiviral and immunomodulatory agents in polio treatment. Furthermore, the exploration of drug combinations with dual antiviral and immunomodulatory properties is proposed. Combining drugs exhibiting stability in CD155 interactions may offer synergistic effects, enhancing the overall therapeutic efficacy against poliovirus. While our computational findings lay a foundation, further in vivo and in vitro experimentation is imperative for validating the observed interactions. This research provides a roadmap for future experimental studies, offering a rational basis for the design and development of antiviral and immunomodulatory strategies targeting CD155 in the pursuit of effective polio therapy.

Designing organic fluorescent molecules with tailored optical properties is challenging in decades, while the new avenue was opened by the statistical models. Inverse design has garnered considerable interest in organic materials science but concentrates on arbitrary design or theoretical properties. Here, we introduce a strategy that enables direct optimization of specific experimental properties in the inverse design process, utilizing a variational autoencoder (VAE) with a latent vector-based prediction model. Omitting the Kullback-Leibler divergence and separate training strategy successfully improved the generator's robustness and molecular diversity. We confirm the latent vectors obtained from VAE are powerful inputs for downstream prediction models of experimental properties, fluorescence energy and quantum yield. Our approach for the optimized search of organic fluorescent materials, substantiated by gradient space derived from latent vector and validated by newly synthesized and uncharacterized molecules, shows potential for broader applications in diverse organic material design.

Authors: Bänsch Felix , Daniel Mirco , Lanig Harald , Steinbeck Christoph , Zielesny Achim
Published: February 2024

An automated pipeline for comprehensive calculation of intermolecular interaction energies based on molecular force-fields using the Tinker molecular modelling package is presented. Starting with non-optimized chemically intuitive monomer structures, the pipeline allows the approximation of global minimum energy monomers and dimers, configuration sampling for various monomer-monomer distances, estimation of coordination numbers by molecular dynamics simulations, and the evaluation of differential pair interaction energies. The latter are used to derive Flory-Huggins parameters and isotropic particle-particle repulsions for Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD). The computational results for force fields MM3, MMFF94, OPLS-AA and AMOEBA09 are analyzed with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and DPD simulations for a mixture of the non-ionic polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactant C10E4 with water to demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.

Published: February 2024

Photoresponsive drug delivery stands as a pivotal frontier in smart drug administration, leveraging the non- invasive, stable, and finely tunable nature of light-triggered methodologies. The Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) has been employed for generating molecular structures. In our study, we harnessed GPT-2 on the QM7b dataset to refine a UV- GPT model with adapters, enabling the generation of molecules responsive to UV light excitation. Utilizing the Coulomb matrix as a molecular descriptor, we predicted the excitation wavelengths of these molecules. Furthermore, we validated the excited state properties through Quantum chemical simulations. The synergy of these findings underscores the successful application of GPT technology in this critical domain.

На основе полученных ранее дифракционных данных выполнено повторное уточнение кристаллической структуры минерала ташелгита с идеализированной формулой CaMgFe2+Al9O16(OH) в рамках ромбической пространственной группы Pbam (параметры элементарной ячейки: a = 17.1823(1), b = 23.5718(4), c = 5.6973(5) Å). Тонкие детали кристаллической структуры и особенности распределения катионов по позициям выполнены на основе прецизионных данных мессбауэровской и оптической спектроскопии. Установлено, что, несмотря на повышение симметрии, основной мотив и характер распределения катионов по октаэдрическим и тетраэдрическим позициям сохраняется. Тем не менее, из-за меньшего числа независимых позиций в модели пр.гр. Pbam распределение становится менее упорядоченным по сравнению с моделью пр.гр. Pc. Возникновение минерала ташелгита, характеризующегося сложной структурой, основу которой составляют шпинелевые модули, хорошо согласуется с наличием ассоциирующих минералов, в частности, магнетита и герцинита (структурный тип шпинели), а также хибонита, структура которого также содержит шпинелевые модули. Проведен сравнительный кристаллохимический и модулярный анализ природных и синтетических соединений, содержащих шпинелевые модули.

Understanding the geotechnical behavior of a municipal solid waste landfill (MSW) requires the filtering of several studies. Regarding the mechanical behavior, there are several discussions about the conditions for the stability maintenance of these structures. This stability depends a priori on the resistance of the compacted material to remain itself stable in a way that it does not generate ruptures or slips. Of various materials compacted found in the MSW landfills, high percentages of fibers (such as plastic, fabric and wood) are verified, these materials have a great influence on the mechanical behavior of the structure. These fibers in turn produce in general an increase in the geotechnical parameters: cohesion (c), friction angle (ϕ) and tensile (ζ), which consequently increase the degree of stability of the landfill. In this context, the present work performed evaluations of the effect of fiber tensile and shear strength in samples of Muribeca’s MSW landfills, the analyzes were performed by laboratory tests using a specimen of aged residues collected in the field, with a deposition age of 10 years. With the collected sample, direct shear tests were performed on 3 different sample proportions of fibers: 0%, 16.17% and 32.33%, in two conditions of test: flooded and non-flooded. From the results obtained in the tensile angles (ζ) in the condition of flooded of 10.2° and 5.0°, for the percentages of 16.17% and 32.33%, respectively.

Objective: To determine the mean relative signal intensity ratio (SIR) difference in patients undergoing dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) for the diagnosis of pituitary microadenoma. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Setting: Radiology Department, Allied Hospital I, Faisalabad. Period: 5th April 2021 to 4th October 2022. Material & Methods: A total of 65 individuals undergoing magnetic resonance imaging with dynamic contrast enhancement of pituitary gland of any gender aged between 20 and 60 years were encompassed. Patients taking any medication (antipsychotics, anti-depressants, opiates or antiemetics), hepatic or renal failure, uncontrolled DM and hypothyroidism were excluded. Senior radiologist interpreted the DCE MR images. Pituitary microadenoma was assessed according to operational definition. For all patients, a region of interest (ROI) was defined on the area displaying varying enhancement, specifically identified as zone A. Amongst the entire patient population, a second ROI was made in the pituitary gland's normal-appearing tissue identified as zone B. Signal intensity time curves were created for all patients using both SIR T and SIR P, and the disparity between SIR T and SIR P was calculated. Relative SIR difference was calculated. Results: In my study, mean relative signal intensity ratio (SIR) difference in patients undergoing the utilization of DCE MRI for detecting pituitary microadenomas was 0.212 ± 0.181. The relative SIR difference on DCE MRI in patients with pituitary microadenoma was 0.35 ± 0.12 and in patients without pituitary microadenoma it was 0.03 ± 0.01. Conclusion: This study concluded that estimation of pre contrast T1 signal intensity ratio of a potentially abnormal lesion in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can enhance the accuracy of the diagnosis for locating microadenoma.
On Short’s Anti-System Reading of Peirce
Authors: Wilson Aaron B.
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Short’s assertion that Peirce lacked a cohesive philosophical system is critically examined, and the interconnectedness of Peirce’s 1884–1893 “cosmology” with other aspects of his work is explored, countering Short’s claims of its limited systematic relevance. Additionally, Short’s claim that Peirce “expanded empiricism empirically” is scrutinized, and his interpretation of Peirce’s account of perception is criticized. By contrasting Short’s anti-system reading, I highlight the importance of studying Peirce’s philosophy holistically.

Combinatorial thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves analyzing and synthesizing different elements or possibilities to create new combinations or arrangements. It is a critical skill in various fields, including mathematics, computer science, biology, and optimization problems. Combinatorial thinking allows individuals to explore and understand the relationships between elements and discover novel solutions through systematic enumeration and manipulation. To develop students' combinatorial thinking skills, we need to support the learning process with learning materials of specific model and approach. In this study, we will develop RBL learning materials with a STEM approach to improve students' combinatorial thinking skills. We will use R&D (research and development) model for doing study of this research, namely Thiagarajan 4-D model. The developed learning materials met the criteria of being valid, effective and practical. The validity scores obtained for each material were 3.53 for RTM, 3.69 for LKM and 3.66 for THB. The observation results of learning implementation were 3.61 with a percentage of 90%, and the student responses were 3.75 with a percentage of 93.75 positive, so they met the practical criteria. Based on the test results, the researchers found that 82.75% of the students were complete so that they met the effective criteria.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar as percepções de professores de matemática em relação ao uso das metodologias ativas em sua prática docente. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com 34 professores de matemática da educação Básica e Superior de diferentes regiões do país. A metodologia é de cunho qualitativo, teve como instrumento de coleta de dados o questionário online, com perguntas aberta e fechadas. A organização e o processo de análise dos dados deram-se por similaridade, o que possibilitou a criação de gráficos e nuvens de palavras. Os resultados mostram que as metodologias ativas ainda não são plenamente adotadas e integradas no processo de ensino de matemática. Foi possível identificar que 79% dos professores já utilizam as metodologias ativas, no entanto, percebemos que esses ainda têm interesse em ampliar seus conhecimentos em relação as metodologias ativas, desde que estas sejam atrativas ao perfil dos estudantes e possibilitem a compreensão do processo de aplicação, estimulando-os a integrarem em sua prática.
Ensino de Cálculo no período da pandemia da covid-19: uma experiência com o método de ensino Análise de Modelos
Authors: Sousa Emerson Silva de
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo apresenta o relato de uma experiência de ensino de Cálculo I, na forma remota, em uma universidade do interior do Pará no período da pandemia da covid-19. Tem por objetivo evidenciar e refletir o uso de elementos característicos da Modelagem Matemática, em particular da Análise de Modelos, no planejamento e execução de ações que contribuíram para que a disciplina pudesse ser ministrada remotamente. Além disso, traz a avaliação de um grupo de estudantes que cursou a disciplina nesse período, acerca da metodologia utilizada pelo professor ao ministrá-la. Para evidenciar essa avaliação, tomou-se como base as respostas que os estudantes deram em um questionário de feedback da disciplina, aplicado ao final de cada período, durante quatro períodos. A experiência revelou que a Modelagem Matemática, em particular a Análise de Modelos, não só apresenta elementos intrínsecos que potencializam uma melhor contextualização dos conteúdos estudados em Cálculo I e, portanto, contribuem na aprendizagem dos estudantes, mas também pode potencializar metodologias ativas, em especial a sala de aula invertida.
