Este artigo aborda a crescente influência da Inteligência Artificial (IA) na educação, destacando desafios e oportunidades inerentes a essa transformação. Com base em uma fundamentação teórico-metodológica robusta, analisamos a resistência percebida em adotar ferramentas de IA evidenciando lacunas na formação docente que impedem a plena integração dessa tecnologia nas práticas educacionais. Propomos estratégias para superar esse desafio, como a promoção de formação continuada, estimulando uma participação ativa dos professores no desenvolvimento e implementação de ferramentas de IA, e fomentando a colaboração entre professores e alunos. Ao explorar o cenário global, destacamos disparidades entre países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento na adoção da IA na educação. Limitações de infraestrutura, escassez de recursos financeiros e falta de habilidades tecnológicas são desafios enfrentados principalmente por nações menos desenvolvidas. Propomos que políticas educacionais considerem tais barreiras, enfocando investimentos em infraestrutura e capacitação de professores. No âmbito dos desafios, discutimos a dependência excessiva da IA alertando para possíveis impactos na autonomia e criatividade dos alunos, além de preocupações éticas relacionadas à privacidade e viés algorítmico. Enfatizamos a necessidade de abordar essas preocupações de maneira ética e equitativa, promovendo políticas e práticas que garantam o uso responsável da IA na educação. Os resultados destacam a importância de uma abordagem cuidadosa e deliberada na integração da IA na educação, visando o desenvolvimento educacional e o bem-estar dos envolvidos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O artigo conclui com uma chamada à ação para educadores, pesquisadores, legisladores e a sociedade em geral, destacando a necessidade de colaboração e compromisso a longo prazo para aproveitar todo o potencial da IA na transformação da educação.

O trabalho da Coordenação Pedagógica no planejamento da formação continuada dos professores, é fundamental para o aumento da qualidade do ensino nas escolas. É um processo permanente de atualização que torna o professor apto para enfrentar as diversidades que surjam no cotidiano escolar, advindas das transformações políticas, sociais e culturais que são constantes. Neste artigo temos como objetivo geral analisar como se dá os trabalhos da Coordenação Pedagógica buscando efetivar a formação continuada docente. A formação continuada dos profissionais da educação é uma forma de valorização profissional, esta já garantida pela legislação brasileira, tanto constitucional, como legal. Com a valorização profissional do Coordenador Pedagógico e do professor através da formação continuada, estes são capazes de transformar o ambiente escolar e aperfeiçoar a teoria já enraizada, melhorando o desempenho coletivo dos alunos, num processo de construção diária, em que as práticas pedagógicas serão fortalecidas. Dentre as várias atribuições da Coordenação Pedagógica na prática escolar, a formação continuada surge para propiciar uma educação de excelência para os alunos. A Coordenação Pedagógica e os professores devem atuar de maneira conjunta, no debate e na definição das prioridades que devem ser trabalhadas e atualizadas. Diante do cenário de incertezas e das constantes mudanças na realidade social, com uma reflexão contínua acerca da importância da formação continuada dos professores, podemos criar alternativas capazes de evoluir o nível educacional da nossa sociedade e da educação básica.

Published: September 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar o debate em curso sobre os movimentos sociais que buscam promover a inclusão de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais nas escolas, com foco especial na atuação do Estado, na implementação de políticas públicas nesse campo. A justificativa está no desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa que relate sobre a responsabilidade do Estado em encontrar soluções inovadoras para vencer os desafios que impedem certos grupos sociais de ter acesso aos recursos e serviços necessários para que a inclusão educacional aconteça, o que significa garantir o direito à educação para todos. A metodologia utilizada foi de cunho bibliográfico e qualitativo. Como resultados, trazemos à tona as principais vertentes do ensino que abordam uma nova perspectiva da Educação Especial, considerando o trajeto histórico da inclusão, assim como as medidas adotadas pelo Departamento de Educação Especial no combate pelas conquistas sociais dos estudantes com necessidades educacionais especiais. Como conclusão, a terminologia "necessidades educacionais especiais" é muito ampla e pode se aplicar a uma grande parcela dos alunos, sobretudo de forma sucinta a nossa concepção de necessidades educacionais especiais adotada pela Seed/DEE. Isso ajuda a entender melhor como definimos o conjunto de ações direcionadas aos alunos que são o foco de nossas políticas. É essencial que as políticas públicas desenvolvam e implementem leis que respeitem a diversidade e estejam comprometidas com a promoção dos direitos humanos.

Authors: Rios Francisco André Souza , Oliveira Larissa Camila Martins de
Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar as opiniões dos profissionais da educação no que se refere ao ensino de alunos autistas envolvendo sua rearticulação ao ritmo escolar presencial no contexto pós-pandemia. A investigação consiste em um estudo descritivo-exploratório, por meio de pesquisas, dirigidas através de grupos focais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com o corpo docente de uma escola situada no município de Marco, localizado no interior do Ceará.  Buscou-se contribuições de estratégias metodológicas e didáticas mitigadoras para futuras implementações na escola. Os estudantes autistas estão entre aqueles considerados público-alvo da política de inclusão que afirma que o acesso dessas pessoas nas instituições de ensino, em especial em escolas regulares, é um direito assegurado pela legislação brasileira e, portanto, que a utilização de estratégias no ensino dos conteúdos curriculares é fundamental para a eficácia no processo de inclusão educacional. Os resultados deste trabalho demonstram que não há muito investimento na formação continuada dos docentes, fato que desmotiva a abordagem ativa das opiniões dos professores no processo de ensino e aprendizagem para esses estudantes, existindo, portanto, uma lacuna de estudos que visem à construção do conhecimento nessa área. As pesquisas realizadas revelam também que o planejamento de ensino é essencial para a promoção de uma aprendizagem significativa entre esses estudantes, pois as estratégias utilizadas devem considerar a especificidade de cada aluno. A partir dos procedimentos realizados, infere-se que as estratégias de ensino proferidas pelos participantes podem ser adaptadas para a inclusão de discentes autistas, e que precisam constar no currículo escolar, de modo que esses alunos se sintam ativos e participativos na aquisição do conhecimento.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Carotid artery stenosis is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke globally. Carotid revascularization (stenting or endarterectomy) has proved to be an effective form of treatment, superior to medical therapy alone in stroke prevention.Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of carotid artery stenting (CAS) vs carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) on outcomes in patients treated for unilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis.Methods: Between January 2021 and December 2021, 131 patients with stenosed unilateral ICA undergoing primary isolated ICA intervention were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups, those who underwent CEA (n = 87) and those who underwent CAS (n = 44). Propensity score matching (PSM) selected 35 pairs and both groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics and well balanced.Results: In the unmatched cohort, CEA and CAS had comparable long-term outcomes in terms of mortality. Survival at 12, 24, and 36 months was 95.4 vs 95.5%, 92.0 vs 95.5%, and 92.0 vs 95.5%, respectively (p Log-rank = 0.47). However, CEA was associated with a reduced incidence of stroke at follow-up. Freedom from stroke at 12, 24, and 36 months was 98.9 vs 90.9%, 97.6 vs 86.2%, and 97.6 vs 86.2%, respectively (p Log-rank = 0.011). In the matched cohort, CEA and CAS had comparable long- -term outcomes in terms of mortality. Survival at 12, 24, and 36 months was 94.3 vs 94.3%, 91.4 vs 94.3%, and 91.4 vs 94.3%, respectively (p Log-rank = 0.65). However, CEA was associated with a reduced incidence of stroke at follow-up. Freedom from stroke at 12, 24, and 36 months was 100 vs 91.4%, 100 vs 85.5%, and 100 vs 85.5%, respectively (p Log-rank = 0.024).Conclusions: The present PSM study showed that, in patients with isolated unilateral ICA stenosis, CEA was associated with a reduced incidence of stroke compared to CAS.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:Injuries are among three most common causes of sudden death in Poland, and patient particularly at risk of fatal outcome of trauma are elderly. Geriatric age is associated with pathological changes that determine worse response to trauma. In order to improve treatment outcomes of elderly trauma patients it is essential for them to have access to specialized healthcare units i.e. Trauma Centers (TC).In Poland, admission criteria for TC are determined in the Regulation of the Ministry of Health published in 2010. Those criteria do not include age. According to recent research, such admission criteria lead to undertriage i.e., underestimation of injuries of elderly trauma patients and referred to a healthcare unit of lower reference level.Aim: Analyze the current national admission criteria of elderly trauma patients admitted to TCs.Materials and methods:TC admission criteria were subject to analysis in referral to available scientific publications in the field of medical segregation of elderly trauma patients, available in: PubMed, Medline-EBSCO.Results:TS admission criteria in current form are fulfilled only by elderly patients with minimal survival chance. As a result, majority of elderly trauma patients are referred to healthcare units of lower reference level. Those patients are deprived of professional trauma care in TC. Such discrepancies in medical segregation often stem from lack of anatomical changes or shifts in physiological parameters typically observed in trauma patients.ConclusionsIt is essential to develop national research to find the optimal system of triage for elderly trauma patient and an adequate tool for appropriate admitted them to TC.

Published: September 2024

Una buena Comunicación interna a nivel institucional es fundamental para lograr un trabajo eficiente y alcanzar objetivos institucionales. La Coordinación de Carrera de Redes y Telecomunicaciones ha emergido como un punto focal de esta investigación debido a la percepción de una carencia en lineamientos claros y estrategias comunicativas efectivas. La ausencia de una estructura definida ha dado lugar a malentendidos, falta de alineación en los objetivos y comunicación deficiente entre los miembros del equipo académico y administrativo. Por lo tanto, se planteó diagnosticar problemas de comunicación interna en el Instituto Superior Tecnológico Huaquillas aplicando técnicas de investigación idóneas proponiendo correctivos frente al problema detectado. Para realizar la investigación se adoptó un enfoque mixto, combinando encuestas y observaciones, siendo la población 65 miembros, englobando a estudiantes, docentes y personal administrativo. El uso de encuestas permitió analizar el conocimiento de plataformas tecnológicas, la frecuencia de su uso y la calidad de la comunicación con los docentes y se aplicó la observación continua durante un período de 16 semanas. La investigación dio como resultados que la mayoría de los estudiantes (93.8%) conocen las plataformas tecnológicas del ISTH. La plataforma EVA es ampliamente adoptada (69.2% frecuente), y los docentes responden a mensajes de WhatsApp en diferentes niveles (50.8% siempre), finalmente los encuestados mencionan las plataformas que se deben implementar (Instagram 32%, TikTok 31%).
La investigación destaca áreas de fortaleza, como la adopción de plataformas, pero señala la necesidad de mejorar la comunicación docente-estudiante y fortalecer la difusión de diversos reglamentos.

Published: September 2024

This paper presents a conceptual model aimed at standardizing financial advisory practices in Nigeria, with the goal of bridging the financial literacy gap that affects a significant portion of the population. The model proposes a structured framework for financial advisory services that integrates key elements of financial education, regulatory oversight, and practitioner qualifications. By emphasizing the importance of standardized practices, the model seeks to enhance the quality of financial advice provided to Nigerian consumers and promote better financial decision-making. The framework is based on a multi-dimensional approach, incorporating principles of financial literacy, ethical standards, and client-centered advisory practices. It highlights the need for comprehensive financial education programs that address the specific needs and challenges faced by different demographic groups in Nigeria. These programs are designed to improve financial literacy levels and empower individuals with the knowledge required to make informed financial decisions. Key components of the model include the establishment of certification and training requirements for financial advisors, the implementation of regulatory guidelines to ensure ethical conduct, and the creation of a standardized assessment tool to evaluate the effectiveness of advisory services. The model also emphasizes the role of technology in enhancing accessibility to financial advice, advocating for the development of digital platforms that facilitate remote advisory services and educational resources. The proposed model aims to address existing disparities in financial knowledge and advisory quality by providing a uniform standard for financial advisory practices across Nigeria. By bridging the financial literacy gap, the model is expected to contribute to improved financial outcomes for individuals and enhance overall economic stability.

Published: September 2024

The rapid growth of financial advisory services in Nigeria has increased the need for a robust regulatory framework to ensure consistency, transparency, and consumer protection. Currently, the sector lacks standardized guidelines, leading to variations in service quality, conflicting advisory practices, and risks to investors. This paper proposes a regulatory model aimed at standardizing financial advisory services in Nigeria, addressing critical challenges such as the lack of uniform certification requirements, inconsistent service quality, and inadequate consumer protection mechanisms. The proposed model focuses on five key components: regulatory oversight, certification and training, ethical standards, consumer protection, and technology integration. It advocates for the establishment of a dedicated regulatory body or a specialized unit within existing financial regulatory institutions to oversee financial advisory services. A mandatory certification process will ensure that only qualified individuals provide financial advice, while ethical guidelines will promote professionalism and integrity. The model also emphasizes the need for consumer protection through mechanisms like dispute resolution channels and transparency in fees and services. Additionally, the integration of digital tools and technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, is suggested to enhance compliance monitoring and service delivery. By standardizing the sector, the proposed regulatory model aims to foster investor confidence, ensure the sustainability of the financial advisory industry, and contribute to Nigeria’s broader financial inclusion goals. It also draws insights from international best practices, highlighting how other emerging economies have successfully regulated similar sectors. This paper provides practical recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders on the effective implementation of this model, outlining potential challenges and suggesting solutions to ensure widespread adoption.

Authors: Vinith Kumar  , Vaishnavi. S  , Soundarya  , Pallavi Ammu Thomas
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, gloves, face shields, goggles, facemasks and/or respirators or other equipment designed to protect the wearer from injury or the spread of infection or illness. The usage of PPE among health care professionals is increased after Covid 19. Dentists poses high risks to infection due to largernumber of droplets generated during dental procedures. The perception and the usage of Personal Protective Equipment among the dentists may not be same. Hence an online cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among the dentists on perception and usage of Personal Protective Equipment.
Materials and methods: A cross sectional only survey using 20closed-ended questionnaire was conducted to assess the perception and usage of Personal Protective Equipment among dentists. A total of 388 dentists were included in the survey. The study subjects were classified into 3 groups. Group A-Practitioner alone (in Clinic/Hospital), Group B-Academician (Working in academic institution alone without practice) and Group C- Both (clinician and academician).
Results: Most of the dental practitioners who are affiliated to dental colleges as well as having or working in clinician (Group C) had received formal training or demonstration regarding donning and doffing of PPE compared to individual practitioners or academician (Group A and B) and it is statistically significant (P<0.05) and many private practitioner’s faced shortage of PPE compared to academician and both (Private practitioners and academician) which is statistically significant (P<0.05)
Conclusion: Compared to Group A and B academician and clinician individually dental professionals who are working as both academician and clinician (Group C) have better perception and know the proper usage of PPE which might be because of the exposure in both college and clinical setup.

Authors:   Yerevan State University, Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of NAS, Muradyan Haykuhi , Yeranyan Nzhdeh ,   History Museum of Armenia
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the challenges surrounding the safeguarding of Artsakh's rich cultural heritage, with a particular focus on the preservation and protection of museums amidst and following the 44-day Artsakh war. It offers special scrutiny towards museums and collections that fell under Azerbaijani control as a consequence of the conflict. The museum sector emerged as one of the most severely impacted areas in Artsakh's cultural landscape due to the war. Approximately thirty private and state museums and collections were left in territories occupied by the Azerbaijani armed forces. Those museums that managed to evacuate their collections from the occupied territories encountered significant challenges in the aftermath. The challenges primarily revolve around the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. Questions arise regarding the appropriate locations for housing these values, the principles and contexts guiding their display, and the methods of presenting them to the public. Moreover, the issue of detachment from one's community adds another layer of complexity to the discussion. Therefore, the article explores three main aspects: It investigates the war crimes taken against cultural heritage in Artsakh throughout the 44-day Artsakh war by Azerbaijani armed forces. It examines the international legal mechanisms established to protect this heritage during and after the war. It scrutinizes the fate of museums forced to evacuate due to wartime dangers, as they, along with the communities they serve, became displaced entities. The study draws on comprehensive interviews conducted with museum directors, staff members, and officials from relevant departments within the Ministry of Education and Culture of Artsakh. Additionally, it relies on the analysis of videos disseminated by various Azerbaijani users across diverse online platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Telegram.

Chancen und Grenzen des Einsatzes von KI in der Sozialwirtschaft - Künstliche Intelligenz – gekommen, um zu bleiben!
Authors: Theune Sarah , Müller Gerhard
Published: September 2024

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ist derzeit allgegenwärtig und wird intensiv diskutiert. KI ist ein Bereich der Informatik, der sich mit der Entwicklung von Systemen beschäftigt. Diese können Aufgaben ausführen, die normalerweise menschliche Intelligenz erfordern, etwa Lernen, Problemlösung und Entscheidungsfindung. Seit Dezember 2022 ist ChatGPT kostenfrei verfügbar und hat die Diskussion über KI und ihre Potenziale angefeuert. Dabei beschränkt sich der Blick häufig auf ein Teilgebiet: die generative KI.

Generative KI-Anwendungen lernen aus vorhandenen Datenmustern und verwenden diese Informationen, um eigenständig Inhalte und Ergebnisse zu erzeugen. Diese Technologie basiert vor allem auf sog. „Large Language Models“ (LLMs), die durch das Training mit riesigen Datenmengen beeindruckende Fähigkeiten in der Text- und Bildgenerierung entwickelt haben. KI umfasst aber ein viel breiteres Feld und bietet vielfältige Einsatzmöglichkeiten. In der Sozialwirtschaft wird intensiv über den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs, die Einsatzmöglichkeiten in anderen Branchen und den Druck zur Effizienzsteigerung diskutiert. In diesem Beitrag möchten wir eine Einordnung des Themas vornehmen und realistische Chancen und Grenzen der Nutzung von KI-Anwendungen in der Sozialwirtschaft aufzeigen.
Der Deutschlandtakt
Authors: Litterst Moritz
Published: September 2024

This thesis deals with the legal implementation of ‘Deutschlandtakt’, an integrated periodic timetable for the German rail transport. Its legal analysis is based on economic findings and places the timetable concept in the context of the ‘Verkehrswende’ (the transformation of transportation). This research project examines various models for the implementation of ‘Deutschlandtakt’ in long-distance rail transport. It analyses whether the concept is compatible with the constitutional and legal requirements for the railroad sector. The study is completed by considerations on the concept’s implementation in local rail passenger transport and rail freight transport as well as on competition issues.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Pain is a major driver of visits to the emergency department (ED). Clinicians must consider not only the efﬁcacy of treatment options but also subsequent healthcare utilization and patient-centered outcomes such as side effects from prescribed medications. Our goal in this study was to determine whether there was an association between acute pain treatment regimen (opioids, intranasal non-steroidal anti-inﬂammatory drugs [NSAIDs], or both) and unscheduled healthcare visits following ED discharge. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of the Acute Management of Pain from the Emergency Department (AMPED) prospective, observational cohort study. We used Cox proportional hazards analysis to assess the relationship between treatment regimen and time to ﬁrst unscheduled healthcare visit. Repeated measures logistic regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between treatment regimen and any unscheduled visits, and to evaluate whether this relationship was mediated by pain severity and/or medication side effects. Results: Of 831 total enrolled participants, 141 (16.9%) experienced an unplanned healthcare visit within ﬁve days of ED discharge. A majority of these visits happened one day after the ED visit. Those who were treated with intranasal NSAIDs only were less likely to have an unscheduled healthcare visit compared to those who received opioids only, with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 0.63. The higher odds of unscheduled healthcare visits with opioids were mediated by both the presence of side effects and higher pain levels, with AORs of 2.24 and 1.33, respectively. Conclusion: Opioid treatment for acute pain is associated with increased unscheduled healthcare visits compared to those treated with intranasal ketorolac. This difference can be explained by higher levels of ongoing pain and greater medication side effects.

Misuse of civilian drones

Drones (also known as unmanned aircraft) are flying systems that do not carry a pilot. As the technology has become cheaper and more sophisticated, the use of drones for recreational and commercial purposes has grown, with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) reporting a significant increase in the number of permissions obtained for operating commercial drones in the UK. Despite their potential to reduce costs, improve efficiency and provide new services, drones may be misused accidentally or for malicious purposes. For example, reports of drone sightings at Gatwick Airport in December 2018 grounded around 1,000 flights for almost 36 hours, affecting more than 140,000 passengers. In 2018, the Government introduced new limits on where drones can be flown and new registration and education requirements for drone operators and pilots. In January 2020, the new Government introduced an Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Bill to Parliament that included new police powers for enforcing aviation laws (such as the power to issue a fixed penalty notice for certain drone offences). This POSTnote looks at civilian drones and their applications, focusing on potential misuse and possible responses.

Published: September 2024

During audit planning, auditors examine the business of their firms. Still, the target is to minimize the discrepancy in the real planned financial statement of inspection and summary reports of internal audits. On the other hand, expenditures on artificial intelligence have been increasing in Turkish firms; according to the National Artificial Strategy document, AI will be part of every organizational process, including internal audits. Moreover, the literature supports a positive relationship between internal audits and firms’ decreasing capital loss. So, this research aims to analyze the relationship between AI expenditures, internal audit reports, and the firms’ historical loss. To reach this aim, suitable data was analyzed from 732 incorporated companies that are members of the Chamber of Trade and Industry/Tekirdag/Turkey. Structural equation modeling results show that AI investments decrease the discrepancy between financial statements and internal audit reports (β=-0.045). On the other hand, discrepancies found in the internal audit reports compared to real financial statements are increasing firms’ financial losses by almost 10% (β=.118). In other words, investing in AI contributes to more realistic financial reports, resulting in fewer financial losses. From this perspective, this study is one of the leading studies that connects AI investment to internal audits and the financial performance of Turkish firms.
