Learning motivation is a crucial factor that influences the success of the learning process. Students with high learning motivation tend to be more active and engaged in learning activities, while those with low motivation often feel bored and less participative. In Grade IV of UPTD SDN 075053 Fadoro Idanoi, low learning motivation has become a problem that affects students' engagement and academic performance. The conventional teaching methods, which lack variation, lead to decreased enthusiasm among students in the learning process. This study aims to examine the implementation of varied teaching strategies through Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as an effort to enhance students' motivation. PBL presents students with real-life challenges that need to be solved, which can increase their active participation, engagement, and motivation. By incorporating diverse teaching strategies through PBL, it is expected that students will become more motivated and involved in the learning process, leading to improved academic outcomes. This study is hoped to offer practical solutions for teachers to create more engaging learning environments and boost students' learning motivation in the classroom.

Education in Indonesia faces complex challenges, so the government, educational institutions, and society continue to strive to improve access, quality, and relevance of education to form a young generation that is skilled, competitive, and ready to face the challenges of the 21st century. In the context of the Independent Curriculum, Catholic religious education in Indonesia emphasizes the development of religious understanding, moral values, and Catholic spirituality for students, while paying special attention to strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile. This research focuses on the dimension of knowledge and motivation of students to form strong character and mentality for the younger generation in facing various global challenges. Based on the data from the learning evaluation results at SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak, it shows that students' understanding of the Church's material as God's People is still not optimal. One of the reasons is the use of learning methods that are less varied and do not involve students actively in the learning process. Conventional learning models often make students passive and less motivated to dig deeper into the material being studied. So to face this condition, educators need to design a relevant and interesting learning process. One approach that can be applied is Problem Based Learning or problem-based learning. The objectives of this study are to: (1) identify the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning method in increasing students' understanding of the material of the Church as God's People in grade XI of SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak; (2) seeing an increase in the active participation of students during learning on the material of the Church as God's people in class XI of SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak; (3) measuring the improvement of learning outcomes after the application of the Problem Based Learning method on the material of the Church as God's people in class XI of SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, written tests, and documentation. Data is analyzed through data reduction, presentation in the form of descriptions, graphs, or tables, and drawing conclusions in accordance with the formulation of the problem. The use of the Problem Based Learning model that follows its syntactic steps, such as orientation to the problem, organizing students to learn, guiding individual and group investigations, developing and presenting results, and evaluating the problem-solving process, has proven to be effective in improving students' learning outcomes on the material of the Church as a people of God Phase F class XI SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak.

Sustainable forest management is a legal alternative to combat deforestation and preserve natural resources in the long term. However, the lack of information on the growth and productivity of forests and individual species compromises its effectiveness. To obtain this information, dendrochronological techniques can be used. The aim of the study was to evaluate the dendrochronological potential of three tree species found in terra firme tropical rainforests: Astronium graveolens Jacquin, Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A.Juss.) Müll.Arg., and Inga cylindrica (Vell.) Mart. The method involved collecting disks from the base of the trees (cross-dating), preparing the disks through polishing and scanning, and analyzing the growth rings based on anatomical characteristics. This technique is essential for understanding forest growth patterns, assessing tree responses to environmental changes, and supporting sustainable forest management practices. The three species showed distinct and visible growth rings to the naked eye. H. brasiliensis was classified as distinct, while A. graveolens and I. cylindrica were classified as less distinct. The dendrochronological analysis indicated that the three species presented a correlation between the growth ring series, with A. graveolens and H. brasiliensis showing an average correlation of 0.568 and 0.575, respectively, and I. cylindrica 0.3281. By analyzing the Master series, high growth peaks were identified for H. brasiliensis in 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2021, for A. graveolens in 1996, 1982, 2011, 2020, and 2005, and for I. cylindrica in 1989, 2001, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2016, and 2017. The species have dendrochronological potential and can contribute to the study of the cycle and minimum cutting diameter in forest management.

TB is a priority pathogen for the application of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) into routine public health practice. In low-incidence settings, a growing number of services have begun to incorporate routine WGS into standard practice. The increasing availability of real-time genomic
information supports a variety of aspects of the public health response, including the detection of drug resistance, monitoring of laboratory and clinical practices, contact tracing investigations and active case finding. Optimal structures and approaches are needed to support the rapid translation
of genomic information into practice and to evaluate outcomes and impact. In this consensus paper, we outline the elements needed to systemically incorporate routine WGS into the TB public health response, including the sustainability of services, multidisciplinary team models and monitoring
and evaluation frameworks. If integrated in an efficient and thoughtful manner, routine WGS has the potential to significantly improve clinical TB care for individuals and the overall public health response.

Published: October 2024

A leishmaniose é uma zoonose não contagiosa estando entre as principais doenças infecciosas negligenciadas. É de difícil diagnóstico devido aos seus sinais clínicos inespecíficos e a possibilidade do animal ser assintomático. Os cães, em sua maioria, quando infectados podem desenvolver lesões ulceradas e descamativas em borda de orelha e face, podendo ser o único sinal clínico, os quais também podem se fazer presente em outras dermatopatias como pênfigo e lúpus eritematoso discóide. Outras manifestações clínicas como esplenomegalia, linfadenopatia, dor nas articulações, onicogrifose, uveíte, conjuntivite, anemia e febre, também podem ocorrer. Relata-se neste artigo um caso de lesão em plano nasal de um cão com leishmaniose, o qual mesmo com o tratamento, redução da carga parasitária, sem outros sinais clínicos, não apresentou melhora, sendo necessário associar corticosteróides e imunomodulador para reverter a reação inflamatória. O tratamento completo consistiu em miltefosina, alopurinol, domperidona, prednisolona e ciclosporina. A melhora observada com o uso de corticosteroides sugere que o animal apresentava uma lesão imunomediada no plano nasal. Dessa forma, o tratamento convencional para leishmaniose, isoladamente, não foi suficiente para promover a regressão da lesão.

Os resultados mostram que a radiofrequência, não invasiva, aquece as camadas profundas da pele, melhorando flacidez e cicatrizes. Seu principal efeito é estimular a produção de colágeno, reduzindo e prevenindo rugas faciais. Entretanto, os estudos revisados apresentam variações nos resultados, ressaltando, a segurança do procedimento, com pouca dor relatada pelas participantes. Conclui-se que a radiofrequência é uma abordagem promissora, porém são necessárias mais pesquisas bem controladas para consolidar evidências e otimizar protocolos de tratamento na área da fisioterapia dermatofuncional.

Authors: Lena Luize Pires , Ahmad Laila Azize Souto
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo possui uma abordagem qualitativa, e tem como objetivo analisar de que forma a temática “Emancipação” vem sendo abordada nas dissertações do Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Educação Profissional e Tecnológica – ProfEPT, através do Estado da Arte da temática mencionada, realizada por meio de um mapeamento exploratório na base de dados do observatório do ProfEPT. Frente ao exposto, como resultados, encontraram-se seis (6) dissertações, contudo apenas quatro (4) foram selecionadas para compor o estado da arte descrito no presente artigo, salienta-se que todas as pesquisas foram realizadas em contextos diferentes e são de Instituições diferentes. Percebeu-se que o autor mais utilizado para embasar as discussões acerca da temática Emancipação nas dissertações selecionadas foi Freire. Considera-se que a temática Emancipação vem sendo pouco explorada nas dissertações do ProfEPT, diante da relevância que a temática tem no contexto da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, e que todos os autores das dissertações selecionadas vinculam a Emancipação com a tomada de consciência crítica, com a autonomia, com a democrática, e defendem a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica como uma educação emancipatória.
Clinical trial transparency and disclosure from the medical writing perspective
Authors: Hanson Holly , McIntosh Alison
Published: October 2024

It’s been more than 6 years since our last Medical Writing edition dedicated to clinical trial transparency and disclosure. Since then, we have seen the full implementation of the long-awaited EU Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR), the pause and restart of EMA Policy 0070, and of course a global pandemic which resulted in a world-wide surge in freedom of information requests for Covid-19 vaccine clinical trial data. Although many of the regulations and policies governing public disclosure of clinical trial data and documents remain unchanged, we have seen significant changes in the way these are implemented. As those of us who work in this field know all too well, the landscape is ever changing, and it is essential to keep up to date with those changes. Resources such as the Drug Information Association Clinical Trial Disclosure Community, PHUSE Data Transparency Working Group, and Clarity and Openness in Reporting-E3 based (CORE) Reference provide invaluable updates and insights. This issue of Medical Writing touches on a number of different aspects of clinical trial transparency and disclosure, all of which involve medical writers as key stakeholders

Assessment of existing PC structures according to EN 1992-1-1:2023
Authors: Walczak Rafał
Published: October 2024

The paper aims to present a number of additional standard provisions and changes included in EN 1992-1-1:2023, published in November 2023. Among other features, the new version of Eurocode 2 includes informative annexes on the assessment of existing structures and safety formats for non-linear analysis, which previously were not standardised. In addition, the paper summarises the basic changes of the new standard for the analysis of prestressed concrete structures. The paper also presents an example of the assessment of an existing post-tensioned concrete member in compliance with the recommendations of the EN 1992-1-1:2023 standard. The analyses were performed in two levels of accuracy, i.e. I – analytical method, II – nonlinear FEM analysis. Comparison of the obtained results indicates the potential of nonlinear analysis for optimal assessment of existing structures in accordance with Eurocode 2, especially for non-standard structures, such as prestressed structures.
Second life for pre-stressed concrete hollow core slabs – time to act
Authors: Derkowski Wit
Published: October 2024

The construction sector contributes to approximately 50% of global carbon dioxide emissions and natural resource consumption, along with generating a significant amount of landfill waste. Thus, there is an urgent need to actively involve our professional community in fostering real environmental change. Embracing circularity in construction presents significant opportunities for decarbonization, particularly in the context of prestressed precast concrete structures. This paper explores the potential for reusing prestressed hollow core slabs already built-in, as well as the principles of designing for future dismantling and reassembly. A second life for hollow core slabs is possible, as has already been confirmed by practical realisations in the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland.
Compactability of granular materials increasing the durability of operated railway track structure and subgrade
Authors: Bednarek Włodzimierz
Published: October 2024

The progressive degradation of the railway track structure increases the impact of the rolling stock transferred to the track and subgrade, which requires ensuring appropriate track support through the selection of material, grain size and density of granular layers. The study presents research and analysis of increased loads transferred to the ballast. By using protective layers of the track substructure made of appropriate materials, proper conditions of cooperation between the track and subgrade are achieved, ensuring the elastic operation of the surface and minimizing its permanent deformation. Currently used methods and solutions for strengthening and stabilizing granular materials are described. Particular analysis was carried out to ensure proper support of the track grid by providing appropriate granular material and its compaction (including ballast obtained from recycled – unsorted stone).
Research on the biological degradation of wood using a resistograph
Authors: Grzybowska Agnieszka , Bajno Dariusz , Budnik Natalia , Fiutak Marcin
Published: October 2024

Assessment of the risk level of timber structures is still a challenge due to the lack of comprehensive in situ research methods. This problem is particularly important in the context of historic buildings, which, despite their seemingly solid construction, may hide significant damage. Many such facilities are used without awareness of the risks associated with material degradation. Invisible damage can lead to serious construction disasters, especially in places where beams lose their support in the walls due to the destruction of the wood at their ends. These are the places where the most serious threats occur, and yet the technical condition of these elements is practically not assessed in these areas. The article emphasizes the need for continuous research on the biological degradation of wood and the use of advanced measurement methods, such as a resistograph, to more accurately assess the technical condition of timber structures and effectively prevent their degradation.
Actions to improve energy efficiency on the example of selected historic buildings in Poland in the context of European Union guidelines
Authors: Brożyna Weronika
Published: October 2024

The article presents, in the context of the guidelines of the "Long-Term Strategy for Renovation of Buildings" valid until 2050, examples of renovations of historic buildings carried out in Poland in 2018-2021, which serve as public facilities. They were designed and constructed in a manner consistent with the guidelines for the transformation of a climate-neutral economy, which stem from Article 2a of Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 19, 2010. The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of selected Polish examples of revaluation of public buildings from the point of view of the Architecture of these objects. These are: the Wagner Villa in Kostrzyn on Oder, the railway station in Białystok, the Teodor Sixt Villa in Bielsko-Biała, the office building of the Forestry Commission in Elbląg, the building of the Savings Bank in Ropczyce and the former granary in Żukowo. Also cited are the current financial tools available and the basic measures needed to ensure high energy efficiency and low-carbon performance of public buildings in the run up to 2050.
On the influence of the location of the elastic bimoment stiffeners on the elastic critical resistance of a simple beam grillage
Authors: Piotrowski Rafał
Published: October 2024

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the location of the elastic bimoment stiffeners along the length of the main beam B-E of a simple H-type beam grillage on its elastic critical resistance (ECR) from the lateral-torsional buckling condition. The obtained ECR was compared with the critical resistance determined for the grillage without bimoment stiffeners. The greatest efficiency in increasing the ECR of the grillage (around +80%) was achieved by using elastic bimoment stiffeners shifted relative to joints B and E by approximately 21–25% of the main beam span.
