Authors: Lee Jun Suh , Sohn Minji , Kim Kyuho , Yoon Yoo-Seok , Lim Soo
Published: June 2023

Background: Long term quality of life is becoming increasingly crucial as survival following partial pancreatectomy rises. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in glucose dysregulation after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or distal pancreatectomy (DP).Methods: In this prospective observational study from 2015 to 2018, 224 patients who underwent partial pancreatectomy were selected: 152 (67.9%) received PD and 72 (32.1%) received DP. Comprehensive assessment for glucose regulation, including a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test was conducted preoperatively, and 1, 12, and 52 weeks after surgery. Patients were further monitored up to 3 years to investigate development of new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) at baseline or worsening of glucose regulation (≥1% increase in glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]) in those with preexisting DM.Results: The disposition index, an integrated measure of β-cell function, decreased 1 week after surgery in both groups, but it increased more than baseline level in the PD group while its decreased level was maintained in the DP group, resulting in a between-group difference at the 1-year examination (P<0.001). During follow-up, the DP group showed higher incidence of NODM and worsening of glucose regulation than the PD group with hazard ratio (HR) 4.29 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.49 to 12.3) and HR 2.15 (95% CI, 1.09 to 4.24), respectively, in the multivariate analysis including dynamic glycemic excursion profile. In the DP procedure, distal DP and spleen preservation were associated with better glucose regulation. DP had a stronger association with glucose dysregulation than PD.Conclusion: Proactive surveillance of glucose dysregulation is advised, particularly for patients who receive DP.

Authors: Chandramohan Vaddi , Swamy P M Siddalinga , Ramakrishna Paidakula , Ganesan Soundarya , Babu Manas , Anandan Hemnath , Panda Rakesh
Published: June 2023

Objective:

Laser lithotripsy has been the standard of care for lower and mid-ureteric calculi. Thulium fiber laser (TFL) is a new introduction to this field, which has been extensively studied for retrograde intrarenal surgery. We have done a prospective randomized study of ureteroscopic lithotripsy between TFL and holmium: Yttrium-aluminum-garnet (HO: YAG) laser to know the efficacy of stone fragmentation, stone-free rate, and complications.

Methodology:

A prospective randomized study was done in our hospital from March 2021 to May 2022 on patients planned for ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy. Patients with distal and mid-ureteral stones from 4 mm to 15 mm were included. The laser was used to fragment the stone. All the stones were fragmented from the center to periphery. The setting used was up to 10 W (6–10 Hz, 1J) for TFL and up to 10 W for HO: YAG (5–10 Hz, 0.5–1J). Once the stones were fragmented, they were retrieved until complete visual clearance. Demographic data and stone parameters such as stone size, volume, density, laterality, laser usage time, total operative time, and total energy used were recorded. Operative time, lasering time, retropulsion rate, ablation speed, and visibility score were recorded.

Results:

Each group had 90 randomized patients. Both the groups had similar kinds of patient and stone profiles. The mean operating time was 18.5 ± 1.5 min (95% confidence interval [CI] 16.2–25.6) in the TFL group, which was shorter than the holmium group 31.6 ± 1.2 min (95% CI 18.4–38.5), and it was statistically significant (P = 0.024,). Lasering time was also statistically significant with less lasering time with TFL group 7.4 ± 1.8 min (95% CI 5.2–10.3) versus holmium group 14.8 ± 1.5 min (95% CI 12.3–18.4) (P = 0.011). Laser efficacy and ablation speed were better in the TFL group compared to the HO: YAG group and were statistically significant. The visual score was better in HO: YAG group compared to the TFL group.

Conclusion:

TFL is more efficacious and faster than Holmium: Yag laser. Complications were similar between the groups. Stone-free rate was also similar between both the groups.
Regional differences in the associations of diet quality, obesity, and possible sarcopenia using the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018)
Authors: Lee Hyeongyeong , Park Sohyun
Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVES: Sarcopenic obesity is closely related to aging and the prevalence of various chronic diseases and frailty. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether diet quality is related to obesity, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity, and if so, to explore the difference in that relationship between urban and rural settings.METHODS: Using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2016-2018, a total of 7,151 participants aged 40 years or older were analyzed. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using handgrip strength. Diet quality was assessed using Korea Healthy Eating Index (KHEI) scores, and obesity was determined based on participants’ abdominal circumference. Multinomial logistic analysis was used for testing statistical significance.RESULTS: Rural participants had significantly lower KHEI scores and a higher prevalence of sarcopenic obesity than urban participants. The study findings demonstrate that participants without obesity, sarcopenia, or sarcopenic obesity had significantly higher KHEI scores in both rural and urban settings. Multinomial regression analysis further revealed that a higher KHEI score was associated with a lower risk of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity among urban residents, while only the risk of obesity was lower with higher diet quality scores among rural residents.CONCLUSIONS: Since diet quality and health status were lower in rural areas, it is important to address this regional disparity with appropriate policy measures. To mitigate urban health disparities, urban residents in poor health with few resources should also be supported.

Authors: Shin Soonsu , Lee Woo-Ri , Yoon Jin-Ha , Lee Wanhyung
Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVES: Construction workers face an elevated risk for several types of cancer. Nevertheless, there is a lack of large-scale epidemiological studies examining the risk of all cancers in construction workers. This study aimed to investigate the risk of various cancers in male construction workers using the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database.METHODS: We used data from the NHIS database from 2009 to 2015. Construction workers were identified using the Korean Standard Industrial Classification code. We calculated the age-standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cancer occurrence in male construction workers compared to all male workers.RESULTS: Compared to all male workers, the SIRs for esophageal cancer (SIR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.42) and malignant neoplasms of the liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (SIR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.24) were significantly higher in male construction workers. The SIRs for malignant neoplasms of the urinary tract (SIR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.35) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.43) were significantly elevated in building construction workers. The SIR for malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus, and lung (SIR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.29) was significantly higher in heavy and civil engineering workers.CONCLUSIONS: Male construction workers have an increased risk for esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and non-Hodgkin’s cancer. Our results indicate that tailored strategies for cancer prevention should be developed for construction workers.

Published: June 2023

Marginalization and prejudice are major challenges in civilizations around the world. As a result, developing measures to foster tolerance among young people is essential in the fight against prejudice. Religious education and awareness initiatives are one approach to achieving this goal. Indonesia schools and colleges, for example, may play an important role in developing tolerance and understanding among young people. Lessons about diversity, inclusivity, and respect for others can be incorporated into teacher curricula. Teaching about the history of prejudice and its impact on various groups, as well as promoting critical thinking and open-mindedness can all be part of this. This research aims to raise awareness, and in addition to religious education, can help develop tolerance and understanding. These religious educational programs against discrimination can be carried out by government agencies, non-governmental organizations, or community organizations. Finally, it is very important to recognize that promoting tolerance and fighting discrimination is a long-term process that requires ongoing effort and commitment. Religious education can help create more inclusive and equitable societies for all by working together to design and implement successful initiatives in Indonesia. it is very important to recognize that promoting tolerance and fighting discrimination is a long-term process that requires ongoing effort and commitment.

Construction Of Accounting Practice By Bendi Coachmen Based On Local Cultural Values
Authors: Thalib Mohamad Anwar
Published: June 2023

This research departs from the problem of the need for accounting studies based on local wisdom values. This study aims to reveal the values of local wisdom behind using income by bendi coachmen in Gorontalo. This research uses a type of qualitative method. Informants in this study were bendi coachmen in Gorontalo. The informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data source in this research is primary data in the form of interviews and observation. There are five data analysis stages: charity, knowledge, faith, revelation information, and ihsan. The study results show that the bendi coachmen use their income not only to fulfil personal needs, such as building houses and paying for children's education but also to give alms and help, among others. The use of income to finance personal needs is conditional on the value of parental responsibility. Meanwhile, the use of income to give alms and help, among others, reflects the value of helping each other. This study contributes to the development of accounting science based on local wisdom values.

Comparison Of Android-Based Personal Financial Management Applications With Variative Financial Conditions
Authors: Dewi Liana
Published: June 2023

Financial planning puts individuals in a better position to understand, manage and make financial decisions. Currently, there are various Android-based applications available to help manage personal finances. This study aims to make a comparison of Android-based personal financial management applications. Recording of 12 types of financial transactions is carried out using three financial management applications, namely Money Lover, Keuangan Pribadi Ku, and Catatan Keuangan Harian. Revenue, expenditure, and realization budget data have surplus, balanced, and deficit conditions prepared for input and processing in the three applications, with a comparison using ten parameters. The results of this study indicate that the three applications have standard features that can be used as tools in personal financial management. However, the Keuangan Pribadi Ku application does not provide features to handle recording when the financial condition is in a deficit and can only run well in balanced and surplus financial conditions. Meanwhile, the Money Lover dan Catatan Keuangan Harian provides features to record surplus, balanced, and deficit financial conditions. This research has contributed to increasing understanding and awareness of the importance of utilizing supporting technology in personal financial management and providing consideration for users in choosing a personal finance management application that suits their needs.

Authors: Suciarti Puji , Wafiroh Novi Lailiyul
Published: June 2023

This study aims to show how the influence of zakat funds, non-halal funds, and Islamic social reporting (ISR) on the performance and reputation of Islamic commercial banks. This type of research uses a quantitative approach. The research population is Islamic commercial banks (ICB) in Indonesia registered with the financial services authority (FSA) for the 2016-2020 period; 14 ICB samples were obtained using the saturated sample technique. The data used is secondary data derived from the annual report of each bank. Data analysis techniques using structural equation modelling (SEM) with the help of AMOS 26 software include classic assumption tests, model feasibility, and hypotheses. The results of this study indicate that zakat funds and ISR do not affect bank performance as a proxy for return on assets (ROA). However, non-halal funds significantly negatively affect ROA. Zakat funds do not affect the company's reputation proxied by market share. However, non-halal funds significantly negatively affect market share, and ISR significantly positively affects market share. This research can contribute to proving whether signalling theory, stakeholder theory, and sharia enterprise theory can strengthen or weaken the influence of zakat funds, non-halal funds, and ISR on the performance and reputation of ICB and can become reference material for Islamic banks to improve their performance and reputation.

Authors: Firmansyah Amrie , Elisabeth Elisabeth , Trisnawati Estralita
Published: June 2023

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 73 regarding leases has been in effect since 2020 in Indonesia. The standard adopts International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 16, which requires companies to record all lease transactions as finance leases. This study examines differences in capital structure and company profitability before and after implementing PSAK 73 in Indonesia. This study uses financial report data for retail and transportation sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2019 and 2020 with a population of 160 observations. The secondary data is sourced from the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. Based on purposive sampling, the total number of observations that can be used in this study is 104 observations. Hypothesis testing was carried out using a paired sample t-test. This study found that in the first year after the implementation of PSAK 73, the capital structure from debt is higher than that from equity. This condition is different from the period before the implementation of PSAK 73. Then the level of profitability in the first year of implementation of PSAK 73 decreased compared to the period before the implementation of PSAK 73. This research recommends that the Financial Services Authority implement risk mitigation rules for companies registered on the IDX regarding the financial impact of Indonesia's new financial accounting standards.

Parabasis: Literarische Wirklichkeit im Zeitalter der Repräsentation
Authors: Kirchmeier Christian
Published: June 2023

»Parabasis« – dieser kaum noch geläufige Begriff bezeichnet einen eigentümlichen Moment der Alten Attischen Komödie, in dem die Handlung pausiert und der Chor das Publikum direkt anspricht. Aus dem Drama der Neuzeit schien die Parabasis weitgehend verschwunden. Die Kunsttheorien, die sich dem Paradigma der Repräsentation unterstellten, verurteilten sie als unnatürlich, störend und kunstfremd. Christian Kirchmeier zeigt dagegen erstmals, wie sich die Parabasis gegen diesen Ausschluss behauptete und sich dabei sogar zu einem wesentlichen Moment moderner Kunst entwickelte. Ausgangspunkt des Buches ist die Kernfrage jeder ästhetischen Theorie nach dem Verhältnis von Literatur und Wirklichkeit. Seit Aristoteles’ Tragödienschrift wurde diese Frage immer wieder mit dem Begriff der Mimesis beantwortet – angelehnt an das Modell der Nachahmung oder Darstellung von Wirklichkeit auf der Theaterbühne. Der maßgebliche Einfluss der Tragödientheorie auf die Ästhetik hat jedoch den Blick darauf versperrt, dass die Komödie mit der Parabasis über ein ästhetisches Verfahren verfügte, das einen nicht-mimetischen Bezug auf Wirklichkeit möglich machte. Statt Wirklichkeit nachahmend abzubilden, fallen die Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler aus ihren Rollen, wenden sich direkt an das Publikum und adressieren es als politische Instanz. Christian Kirchmeier analysiert die verschiedenen Formen, Funktionen und Probleme der Parabasis im Zeitalter der Repräsentation: von der Durchbrechung der unsichtbaren ›vierten Wand‹ und dem Typus der Lustigen Figur über das metatheatrale Spiel-im-Spiel und die romantische Ironie bis hin zu Hegels berüchtigter These vom Ende der Kunst. Mit seinem Buch stellt er ein Konzept der Parabasis in Aussicht, das die Kunst der Gegenwart, ihren Wirklichkeitsbezug und ihren politischen Anspruch auf eine neue Weise erfasst.
A economia comportamental como fator de influência na tomada de decisão racional de consumo
Authors: Aguiar Filho Valentin , Aguiar Josélia Barros Lima
Published: June 2023

À luz da economia neoclássica moderna, o homo economicus é um ser com um senso particular de racionalidade. Contudo, como se explica o fato de tantas pessoas se arruinarem gastando dinheiro com trivialidades de pouca utilidade? O excesso de confiança, apoiado na presunção de que a maioria dos indivíduos tem suas próprias habilidades, conduz à superestimação equivocada da probabilidade de sucesso, afetando suas preferências e culminando com alternativas de decisões de consumo arriscadas. Se houver dinheiro suficiente em jogo, as pessoas deixam de se comportar como homo economicus, passando a agir como homo emoticus. Nessa acepção, a economia comportamental poderá contribuir significativamente para a tomada de decisão racional de consumo dos indivíduos, visto que, esta nova corrente do pensamento econômico, leva em consideração o comportamento humano real, sua cognição humana e social, e suas tendências emocionais de racionalidade.
One Hot Shower A Day Keeps Doctor Away
Authors: YU Ruey J
Published: June 2023

As a research scientist for more than 50 years, I have recently discovered a medical benefit of taking a hot shower every day before bed time.

The hot shower temperature can be up to 650C, depending on individual acceptability. The shower temperature should be high enough for the body, but not too high as to burn the skin. Ultimately, the length, as well as the temperature will vary according to the tolerance of each individual.

After showering, a skin oil or cream can be applied topically to prevent dry skin. A hot shower promotes increased blood circulation and aids in the body’s elimination of toxic metabolites, including muscle metabolites such as lactic acid. Elimination of these metabolites help to lessen or reduce fatigue and anxiety.

Authors: Couissi I
Published: June 2023

Background: Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a serious adverse drug reaction causing a potentially fatal mucocutaneous bullous rash and epithelial detachment.

It is increasingly recognized that survivors may develop late sequelae, some of which may be associated with significant morbidity.

Few studies have mentioned autoimmune diseases as late complications of TEN.

Case report: We report the case of a patient hospitalized for TEN who developed long-term Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Sjögren’s syndrome.

Conclusion: Toxic epidermal necrolysis has a major impact on long-term quality of life. A prolonged multidisciplinary follow-up including a social follow-up is necessary.
"Fechamento das fronteiras" na pandemia de Covid-19: o que a Portaria Interministerial nº 652/2021 quer dizer sobre a migração venezuelana
Authors: Santos Veras Nathália
Published: June 2023

O presente artigo busca analisar o discurso institucional da Portaria Interministerial nº 652/2021, uma das mais de 30 (trinta) portarias que determinam restrições à entrada no Brasil, comumente chamadas de “fechamento de fronteiras”, emitidas no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, partindo-se das seguintes questões norteadoras: 1) A Portaria nº 652/2021 impõe restrições arbitrárias com relação aos imigrantes venezuelanos? 2) Qual o discurso institucional do Brasil diante do conteúdo dessa portaria? Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza empírico-dedutiva, que utiliza os procedimentos das pesquisas bibliográfica e documental e algumas ferramentas metodológicas da Análise Semiolinguística do Discurso propostas por Charaudeau (2001). Verifica-se que, ao impor maiores restrições aos nacionais da Venezuela, prevendo sua exclusão específica, a Portaria Interministerial traduz-se em uma política e diretriz expressa promovida pelo discurso institucional brasileiro, a fim de ser reproduzida indiscriminadamente pelas práticas discursivas constantes nessa sociedade, tudo isso fruto de uma fabricação de opinião. Na sua elaboração ocorreu a construção de um discurso para a produção de influência estabelecida e reproduzida como forma de manter o campo de poder movido como um mecanismo de rejeição do outro. Nesse sentido, por se tratar de voz colegiada (polifonia), conclui-se que consiste em política que institucionaliza a xenofobia.

Authors:   ., BARBARA (PhD) Dr. ALUNGAT
Published: June 2023

Purporse :This study examined the urban policing paradox in Uganda with specific regard to how rapid urbanisation poses challenges for policing and urban peace enforcement in Kampala city. The specific objectives of this study were to explore the crimes accompanying rapid urbanisation in Kampala city; examine the role of the Uganda Police Force in urban policing and peace enforcement in Kampala city; analyse the challenges of urban policing and peace enforcement in Kampala city and finally explore the current responses by the Uganda Police Force in enhancing urban peace enforcement in Kampala city. The study employed two theories:the social contract and broken windows. Methodology : Different materials and sources were used during data collection, which included documentary reviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Findings :The study found out that Kampala city remains a vulnerable place to urban insecurity primarily due to an ever increasing population, coupled with the challenges that hinder effective policing in the city. Population increase in Kampala was found out to be leading to an exponential increase in the number of slums and informal settlements which breed criminality in the city. Among the common crimes were theft, drug abuse, forgery, domestic violence, murder, cybercrimes especially fordgery and terrorism. The relationship between crime and urbanization in Kampala city included an ever increasing population, informal settlements, inadequate planning, corruption and logistical challenges within the Uganda Police Force. However, the study revealed that the Uganda Police Force has made various milestones like the CCTV Cameras, forensics capabilities , 999 communication system, in promoting peace and security in Kampala city.
Um passeio pelos modos de Majorana em supercondutores quirais
Authors:   , Souza Sidnei Fernandes de
Published: June 2023

A busca por sistemas que exibam Modos Zero de Majorana (MZM) têm por principal justificativa o apelo tecnológico, em especial, a computação quântica. A existência destas partículas emergentes seria formidável, pois além delas obedecerem a estatística de troca não Abeliana, que é uma característica interessantíssima para uma computação quântica topológica, elas são protegidas topologicamente, o que torna possível a construção de uma computação mais estável. Modos de Majorana são em essência partículas emergen- tes, que possuem características análogas ao Férmion de Majorana. MZM desacoplados espacialmente podem ser encontrados em sistemas supercondutores na fase topológica, visto que eles são a sobreposição de iguais graus de liberdade entre elétrons e buracos. Assim a grande questão é caracterizar a fase trivial e topológica desses sistemas, onde tal transição é caracterizada pela mudança de um invariante topológico antes e depois do fechamento do gap. Podemos obter informações relevantes do sistema a partir de proprie- dades termodinâmicas como a entropia, a densidade de partículas e a energia do sistema, tanto na fase trivial como na topológica. Todas essas relações podem ser derivadas da função partição. Como estamos interessados em identificar a emergência de MZM na fase topológica do sistema, devemos tomar a Hamiltoniana na base de Majorana e obter a função partição. De posse do potencial efetivo encontramos a forma da dependência do parâmetro supercondutor com a temperatura. Outro resultado interessante é a densidade de partículas, que no estado trivial é sempre positiva (elétrons) ou negativa (buracos) enquanto no estado topológico há uma coexistência entre elétrons e buracos. Portanto, corroborando com a existência de MZM no estado topológico. Ainda calculamos o valor do parâmetro de interação gc crítico para Srs RulO, e comparamos com os resultados experimentais, obtendo satisfatória concordância entre a teoria e a prática.

A linguagem e o ensino conceitual da dualidade onda-partícula no Ensino Médio
Authors:   , Pimentel Rafael Filgueira
Published: June 2023

No início do século XX, compreender a matéria em escala microscópica demandou romper com paradigmas fortemente estabelecidos da Física Clássica, dando origem ao que conhece- mos hoje como Física Quântica. Os conceitos de realidade física precisaram ser rediscutidos, considerando o estranho objeto dual sobre o qual a Física Quântica estava sendo erguida, para o qual um novo formalismo estruturante precisou ser desenvolvido. O presente trabalho relata o desenvolvimento e aplicação de uma sequência didática que visa ensinar a base da Física Quân- tica no Ensino Médio, superando a desconfortável e turva noção de “dualidade onda-partícula”, oferecendo ao aluno um efetivo auxílio pedagógico, que enfatiza a radical novidade que a teoria quântica se constitui, assim como o risco que o quadro clássico e ingênuo oferece. Utilizamos uma abordagem centrada na linguagem multimídia, estruturada em torno de experimentos exi- bidos em vídeos de curta duração, imagens, animações e simulações computacionais. O ensino por investigação foi empregado, de modo que, os alunos pudessem observar e analisar de forma investigativa e problematizadora os fenômenos e conceitos apresentados. Resultados coletados por meio da observação dos aplicadores da sequência didática em suas aulas, sugerem o aprendi- zado dos conceitos estudados, evidenciando que a sequência, tal como organizada e estruturada, teve impacto positivo nos alunos e os auxiliou fortemente no processo de aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Ensino de Física. Objetos quânticos. Dualidade onda-partícula.
Estudo do modo de interação do fármaco cloroquina com o DNA e seu efeito em células
Authors:   , Costa Ethe de Araújo
Published: June 2023

O estudo das interações entre a molécula de DNA e fármacos tem sido de extrema rele- vância para se compreender as peculiaridades intrínsecas dessas interações. Apesar dos diversos avanços cientíĄcos e t ecnológicos, o s m ecanismos d e a ção m olecular d e alguns fármacos permanecem desconhecidos, principalmente no que diz respeito às interações in- trínsecas desses compostos com componentes celulares como proteínas e ácidos nucleicos. A cloroquina (CLQ) é um composto amplamente usado no tratamento contra a malária. No início de 2020, alguns estudos mostraram que esse agente antimalarial poderia ser uma alternativa no enfrentamento da pandemia da COVID-19. Contudo, muitos aspectos da interação entre a molécula de DNA e a cloroquina ainda são desconhecidos. Nesta tese o estudo do fármaco cloroquina foi realizado em dois diferentes níveis: (i) nível de molé- cula única usando a técnica de Pinça Óptica (OT) para analisar os modos de interação do complexo DNA-CLQ. Esse tipo de estudo é reconhecido como estado da arte para caracterizar as interações do DNA com ligantes como fármacos ou proteínas, e permite determinar os modos de ligação e os parâmetros físico-químicos das interações; (ii) nível celular através de ensaios de citotoxicidade da cloroquina em três tipos distintos de linhas celulares normais, HEK-293 (células renais humanas), melan-a (células epiteliais murina) e VERO (células renais de primata), que permite avaliar e comparar os efeitos do fár- maco na viabilidade celular. A citotoxicidade é um dos indicadores mais importantes de avaliação biológica em estudos in vitro, sendo que a viabilidade celular é um dos aspectos mais relevantes para compreender os mecanismos de resposta das células após exposição a agentes tóxicos. Os resultados obtidos são intrigantes. Dos ensaios de pinçamento óptico observamos que a CLQ tem forte aĄnidade com a molécula de DNA, mas os detalhes intrínsecos dos mecanismos de interação dependem da força iônica do meio circundante, que pode alterar o modo de ligação entre as duas moléculas. Dos ensaios de citotoxici- dade observamos que a CLQ possui alta toxicidade nas três linhagens celulares testadas, de maneira que a linhagem HEK-293 possui maior sensibilidade ao fármaco, apresentando dois valores de concentração inibitória média (IC 50 ). Esse comportamento apresentado pela linhagem HEK-293 é conhecido como efeito hormético, que é induzido pelo fármaco. Esses resultados contribuem para o melhor entendimento tanto a nível molecular quanto celular da ação da cloroquina e pode auxiliar estudos posteriores. Palavras-chave: Cloroquina. Pinça óptica.

This article discusses the types of audiovisual authentic materials and using them in teaching English. The popularity of English around the world is increasing, including in Uzbekistan. As a result, the demand for learning this language is on the ascendant as a means of communication. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information about teaching pupils with the help of audiovisual aids in our education system. Developing the usage of authentic materials in the class can be an effective way to motivate pupils and it encourages pupils’ interaction during English classes. Audiovisual authentic materials are considered useful tools in teaching English in EFL countries. For this reason, foreign language teachers should pay more attention to authentic materials in their teaching process in order to improve pupils’ communicative competence. Besides that, by establishing teaching English in the EFL classrooms, the types and examples of audiovisual authentic material also evolved due to the teachers’ teaching style and capability. This paper emphasizes the forms of audiovisual authentic materials and how they assist teachers in their teaching process. Also this paper gives some perceptions and hints both to the teachers and learners of English on how to improve their teaching and learning skills by using audiovisual authentic materials in the English classroom.

Authors: SOLANKE Y.S. , DAGWAL V. J. , PAWAR D.D.
Published: June 2023

We have examined spatially homogeneous and anisotropic cosmological models in the presence of two forms of dark energy (DE). We have calculated the exact solutions of the Einsteins field equations by assuming a special law of variation of Hubbles parameter [3] . Some physical parameters of the model are determined. From the point of kinematical behaviour we have also extended our work by deriving the analytic expressions for the look back time.

Published: June 2023

İçinde bulunduğumuz yüzyılda eğitimde bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanımı her geçen gün daha fazla önem kazanmaktadır. Bir eğitim politikası uygulaması olarak eğitimde dijitalleşmenin temel amaçları arasında eğitimde teknolojik altyapının yerleştirilmesi, bilişim teknolojilerinin etkin bir şekilde kullanılması ve öğrencilere eğitimde fırsat eşitliğini sağlanması yer almaktadır. Öte yandan Covid-19 salgını sürecinde eğitim uygulamaları farklı bir boyut kazanmış, ülkelerin eğitim arzı ve altyapısı konusunda teknolojik hazır bulunuşlukları salgın dönemindeki uzaktan eğitim faaliyetlerini kayda değer şekilde etkilemiştir.

Bu çalışmada bir kamu politikası aracı olarak uzaktan eğitimde ülkelerin dijitalleşme düzeyinin ne olduğu ve eğitim sunumunun ve altyapısının fırsat eşitliğiyle olan ilişkisi incelenecektir. Latin Amerika ve Karayipler bölgesinden seçilen on iki ülkenin hem pandemi sürecindeki eğitim sunumu araçları incelenecek hem de uzaktan eğitim ve fırsat eşitsizliği bağlamında birbirleriyle karşılaştırılacaklardır. Dünya Bankası verileri ve İnsani Gelişmişlik Endeksi’nin ülke ve bölge karşılaştırmaları ele alınacak, bu doğrultuda pandemi sürecinde ülkelerin eğitim faaliyetlerini gerçekleştirme seviyeleri mukayeseli olarak incelenecektir.
