Authors: Rahim Siti Majidah , Sulaiman Nor Surilawana
Published: August 2024

Rapid industrialization, population growth, and improved lifestyles have led to a significant increase in municipal solid waste (MSW), posing environmental, economic, and social concerns worldwide. Brunei, a major producer of waste, has not explored using organic components on a large scale. The composition of waste in Brunei consists of almost 36% of food waste. Therefore, this study proposes a possible move towards zero waste management by setting up a composting programme in the retail sector to enhance Brunei's population on this rising issue. This initiative aligns with the global trend of prioritising sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. In order to gather perspectives from important stakeholders, such as retail managers, customers, and waste management experts, the study will combine qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The results will be beneficial to related stakeholders in Brunei.

Authors: Teja Nalla Bhanu , Smriti  , Bhaskar C. , Nagamalleswari D. , Halder Shubhajit , Kannan M.
Published: August 2024

Emerging technologies that have been applied to reduce climate change and support ecological balance include solar cells, biochar, and biofuels. Biochar is a vital tool for sustainable agriculture since it improves soil fertility, sequesters carbon, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. When compared to fossil fuels, biofuels, which come from renewable sources (algae and agricultural waste), have lower carbon emissions. The availability of feedstock and competition over land use are still present. Sunlight is converted into electricity by solar cells, a crucial component of the renewable energy infrastructure; nevertheless, installation and manufacturing processes for solar cells must be ecologically benign. By combining these technologies, we can reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, promote sustainable growth, and provide all-encompassing solutions for environmental problems.

Published: August 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) provides significant challenges to healthcare management, requiring precise prediction techniques for early detection and treatment. Traditional diagnostic addresses frequently fall short, resulting in delayed therapies and reduced patient outcomes. The study describes a unique CKD prediction system based on Machine Learning (ML) and biological information. The proposed system addresses the limitations of existing systems by utilising advanced ML algorithms capable of processing large amounts of patient data to identify subtle CKD trends. The proposed system outperforms existing systems by taking meticulous processes such as data collecting, preprocessing, feature selection, algorithm training, model optimisation, and ensemble learning. Comparative evaluations show superior accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC-ROC scores. Notably, neural networks and ensemble learning algorithms considerably improve prediction skills, with 94% accuracy, 96% sensitivity, 92% specificity, and a 97% AUC-ROC score. These results highlight the potential of the proposed system to transform CKD management by enabling early identification, lowering healthcare expenditures, and improving patient outcomes.

Published: August 2024

Computing methods are being researched more and more for automatic traffic surveillance due to the growing requirement for effective traffic control and monitoring. Reliable vehicle recognition, counting purposes, and noise reduction from such material are essential for studying traffic, development, and roadway surveillance in densely populated contexts. The suggested approach includes using Canny edge detection for picture segmentation, a filter called Kalman in noise reduction, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for vehicular recognition. We study the potential synergies between these methods to improve vehicle identification performance in difficult traffic situations regarding precision, sensibility, and specificity. The successful use of the suggested comprehensive strategy is demonstrated through a demonstration employing Vehicle Recognition and Counting Employing YOLOv8 and Byte Tracker database from Kaggle. Evaluate the reliability of vehicle identification findings by examining indicators of success such as specificity, sensitivity, and preciseness. According to this research, the entire approach works better than the separate methods, obtaining higher results for precise counting of vehicles and identification while also successfully lowering noisy abnormalities in the video clips. From the results obtained, the proposed MLP produces an Accuracy of 94%, a sensitivity of 0.90, and a specificity of 0.91. The tool used is Jupyter Notebook, and the language used is python
Vozes escreviventes: Conceição Evaristo e Roberta Tavares
Authors: Silva Elen Karla Sousa da , Santos Silvana Maria Pantoja dos
Published: August 2024

A poesia negra feminina brasileira instiga reflexões sobre a revisão das práticas de dominação amparadas pela colonialidade, por meio da reconfiguração de imaginários e identidades. Desse modo, o presente artigo analisa como Conceição Evaristo (região Sudeste), Roberta Tavares (região Norte), a partir de suas vozes, do espaço, da memória e do corpo negro, conseguem, de maneira poética, criar caminhos de insurgência que ressignificam a identidade racial e promovem uma virada decolonial face aos discursos hegemônicos, nas obras Poemas da recordação e outros movimentos, de 2008, e Mulheres de fogo, de 2023. Destaca-se a importância de discutir a poesia negra brasileira como resposta epistêmica ao projeto eurocêntrico colonial. As vozes dessas autoras negras insurgem-se contra o racismo, o patriarcado e o apagamento de suas origens étnico-raciais. Os textos marcam vozes poéticas que revelam como a escrita literária representa uma outra poética, que não se submete à de uma literatura considerada canônica, porque têm o seu próprio cânone e suas próprias regras. Em geral, essa literatura implica em uma outra forma de escrever. Nesse sentido, é importante investigar que poética é essa, bem como os textos dessas escritoras, que são uma voz na literatura brasileira que obriga outros autores brasileiros a repensarem suas produções. As discussões teóricas significativas para a análise e compreensão do corpus vêm de Duarte (2011), Said, (2011) e Ricouer (2007), entre outras. Esta reflexão se propõe a pensar sobre as rasuras como formadoras de um discurso estético-político, marcado por questões étnico-raciais que revelam o lugar de pertencimento dessas escritoras. A produção poética das escritoras mencionadas nos brinda com a oportunidade de considerar o pensamento decolonial enquanto enfrentamento, convocando para uma transformação política e social.
A poesia sociopolítica de Gil Vicente e Patativa do Assaré
Authors: Silva Maria Reginalda da , Fernandes Geraldo Augusto
Published: August 2024

O propósito deste artigo é apresentar uma leitura da poesia de Patativa do Assaré e Gil Vicente, partindo de um estudo do caráter sociopolítico, tendo como base a obra de Antonio Candido, intitulada Literatura e sociedade. Sendo autores de tempos e locais diferentes, os poetas observaram e vivenciaram dramáticas realidades que os impulsionaram a expor, em forma de poemas ou de texto teatral, suas mais profundas impressões e sentimentos, sempre usando a poesia. Foram porta-vozes das pessoas com as quais conviviam: um, no castigado sertão nordestino brasileiro; outro, na corte portuguesa do século XVI. Ambos apresentam uma poética marcada por eixos antagônicos, com ênfase no olhar para o ser humano. Candido, por sua vez, busca focar seus estudos em vários níveis da interseção entre literatura e sociedade, mostrando de um lado, os aspectos sociais dos textos literários e, de outro, a ocorrência destes aspectos sociais nas obras estudadas. Com base em tal premissa, propõe-se uma análise de alguns textos do cearense e do português, enfatizando o caráter de militância, em suas respectivas escritas, contra sistemas de opressão e silenciamento ou expondo as mazelas da sociedade onde viviam, constituindo a emergência de vozes dissonantes. A presente análise apoia-se em pesquisa bibliográfica, além de referencial teórico sobre as questões sociopolíticas, bem como material que componha a contextualização histórica.

Liver transplant (LT) candidates undergo transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) before surgery to assess cardiac function and evaluate the echocardiographic probability of pulmonary hypertension (PHT). The improvement of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAPS) after transplant is associated with higher survival rates in patients with mild or moderate PHT. Although studies analyze the outcomes of LT in patients treated for PHT, the prognostic value of PAPS in patients without PHT in the follow-up is unknown. The aim of our study is to evaluate pre- and post-LT cardiac function, right ventricular function, pulmonary artery pressure, and their association with long-term mortality. 102 patients who underwent LT between 2011 and 2018 were compared for echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters pre- and post-LT. After LT, systolic blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and PASP significantly increased, while tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/PAPS decreased. Moreover, the higher difference in HR and PASP between pre- and post-LT was highlighted in those patients who died during the follow-up period after LT. Among all the parameters tested, in the multi-variable Cox regression for mortality, left ventricular ejection fraction and PASP difference were predictors of mortality. This study highlights the importance of TTE in LT screening as a tool to stratify patients at higher risk of death due to advanced cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and the importance of the change of echocardiographic parameters, in particular right and left ventricular hemodynamics, during the follow-up period. These parameters could be used to guide a more aggressive therapy.
La creatività in psicoterapia come “dialogo co-riflessivo tra soggetti agenti”: una proposta clinica e teorica
Authors: Morelli Daniele , Corbelli Laura
Published: August 2024

Il presente contributo, in parte discusso dagli autori alla giornata di studi ‘Andare Avanti’ organizzata a Gennaio 2023, cerca di delineare il ruolo esercitato dal dialogo co-riflessivo tra paziente e terapeuta, nell’emergere della Soggettività e del senso di agenzia in psicoterapia. A partire dall’analisi di concetti ormai divenuti classici nella Psicoanalisi della Relazione, come quelli di ‘creatività’ e di ‘delega’, si propone una loro rilettura teorica volta a recuperare le basi implicite, corporee e intersoggettive del processo terapeutico. Nel tentativo di descrivere i legami complessi tra le dimensioni auto-riflessive e pre-riflessive, individuali e relazionali, del senso di agency in psicoterapia viene infine proposta l’analisi di una vignetta clinica.
La psicoanalisi è una relazione. Il cinema è una relazione. Cosa è il tennis? Commento al film Challengers

Ci voleva ‘Challengers’ di Luca Guadagnino, scritto con lo sceneggiatore Justin Kuritzkes, perché questa affermazione diventasse chiara in me, con piena consapevolezza.
Eppure, conosco e frequento da molto tempo questo sport, prima ancora del cinema e della psicoanalisi. Però, le ultime due, la cui comune data di nascita attribuita al 1895 le rende quasi gemelle, mi sono sempre sembrate un esempio lampante di relazionalità, prima ancora che la cosiddetta ‘svolta relazionale’ lo certificasse ufficialmente tra gli anni settanta e ottanta del secolo scorso per la psicoanalisi. Alla stessa stregua, si può dire che il cinema sia per sua essenza relazionale.[...]

Engaging primary mathematics teachers in two private schools in South Sudan: A case study on student-centred teaching in problem-solving and mathematical discourse
Authors: Soforon Oduho G.B , Sikko Svein A. , Tesfamicael Solomon A.
Published: August 2024

The teaching and learning of mathematics in sub-Saharan African countries is dominated by teacher-centred pedagogies rather than student-centred ones. Observations of mathematics teachers at two private schools in South Sudan confirmed such practices. This inspired the researchers to design an intervention to help six primary mathematics teachers shift their practices through problem-solving and mathematical discourse. Design-based research methods were implemented, and data were gathered using observations supported by video and audio recordings and field notes. The participants were selected using convenience sampling, and the data were analysed using Stephan’s checklist of student-centred teaching as a framework. The findings revealed that initially, teachers were using tasks from textbooks, and the teachers themselves were engaged in solving the tasks while their students reproduced their actions. Additionally, all the teachers dominated classroom discussions. After the intervention, the teachers began to select tasks that could enhance learning through problem-solving and mathematical discourse among the students, shifting the teacher’s role to facilitation as the students engaged in solving the tasks on their own. However, the shift in practice was highly dependent on the intervention, as the teachers’ tasks were adopted from the workshop.Contribution: This study contributes to the literature on student-centred mathematics teaching in sub-Saharan Africa by providing insights into the factors that enable or hinder teachers’ adoption of student-centred approaches, and by suggesting ways to support teachers’ professional development and learning within their own contexts.
Possibilities and limits of development of technical museums in Ostrava region in the nineteenth–twenty-first centuries
Authors: Šopák Pavel
Published: August 2024

The paper analyses the ways in which the idea of the technical museum developed in the industrial region of Ostrava in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The issue is determined by political, economic and cultural changes in the following time periods: from the end of Austro-Hungarian monarchy (until 1918); the first Czechoslovak Republic (1918–1938); WWII (1938–1945); post-war development, the so called Third Republic (1945–1948); the communist era (1948–1989); and from 1989 to the present. The development was always determined by whether the idea of the regional technical museum was interesting to powerful and intellectual elites, and what the response was from broader society – hence the significance of newspaper articles and other period reflections of the situation.
An operational windmill in an open-air museum as a conservation challenge: Lessons from projects recently implemented in Poland
Authors: Tomaszewski Filip , Walczak Bartosz M.
Published: August 2024

The article discusses the methods of protecting historic windmills and recognising them as valuable objects of industrial heritage. Therefore, examples of attempts to restore windmills as working mills after 2010 are discussed. Translocation combined with comprehensive renovation can be an effective and desirable method of conservation for historic windmills with a wooden structure, as it enables the restitution of these facilities as operating mills. However, one should be aware of the risks associated with this type of activity: primarily the risk of losing the historic, original substance of the mill and changing its landscape context. An important problem is the safety of the dynamic exhibition and the lack of professionals – millers specialised in the field of drive mills, who would be able to not only set up the technological process but also maintain the machines included in it on an ongoing basis. The following part of the article discusses 12 examples of attempts to restart historic windmills. These examples are divided into two categories of objects: windmills with an alternative, modern electric drive; windmills with the ability to work using only wind power. The analysed examples of windmill conservation and reactivation provide the basis for formulating lessons for future projects in Poland and abroad.

The  Hoa Tra field is located in the southeast of the Cuu Long basin which has great potential for oil and gas. The source rocks in this area are mainly fine-grained sediments from the late Oligocene and early Miocene, which are located in a continuous deposition zone and under anaerobic conditions. This paper focuses on studying the maturity level of late Oligocene source rock through geochemical analysis methods. Specifically, the paper uses indicators such as T­, Ro, MPI-1, Ts/(Ts+Tm) and C29 steran 20S/(20S+20R) from Rock-Eval Pyrolysis, Vitrinite reflectance and Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry methods, respectively, to evaluate the level of thermal maturity of the source rock. The source rocks in the Hoa Tra field mainly contain types I and II, which are poor in vitrinite particles, leading to low Ro measurement results. However, when Ro is calculated from Tmax and (MPI-1), it indicates that the thermal maturity of source rock from the upper part of the late Oligocene is in the early mature stage (Ro avg= 0.56%), while those from the lower part of late Oligocene are mature and in the phase of oil generation (Ro avg= 0.65%). These results are similar to those obtained from assessing thermal maturity using Ts/(Ts+Tm and C29 20S/(20S+20R) indicator (the average values for the respective parameters are 0.32 and 0.31 for the upper part, while those are 0.39 and 0.42 for the lower part of late Oligocene). The article also shows that the contribution to the  Hoa Tra field is not only from in-situ generated oil but also from migratory oil coming from nearby troughs.

Published: August 2024

Objectives: The aim of this study was to translate the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) into Turkish and investigate the perceptions of Turkish-speaking patients with different axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) subtypes regarding exercise benefits and barriers.

Patients and methods: This validation study was conducted between June 2018 and December 2021. Patients with axSpA were consecutively assessed regarding physical (age, sex and body mass index) and disease-related characteristics (disease activity, spinal mobility, functional status, quality of life, health status, emotional status, and kinesiophobia). Eligible participants were asked to complete the EBSS and other outcome measurements during their initial visits. EBBS was readministered 7 to 14 days later.

Results: One hundred forty-eight patients (89 males, 59 females; mean age: 44.3±11.8 years; range, 19 to 65 years) were included in the study. Of the patients, 108 had radiographic axSpA, and 40 had nonradiographic axSpA. EBBS-Barriers and EBBS-Benefits subscales demonstrated adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas of 0.82 and 0.95, respectively) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.837 and 0.807, respectively). No significant differences were observed between axSpA subtypes regarding EBBS-Barriers (p=0.12) and EBBS-Benefits (p=0.10) subscales. Significant relationships were detected between kinesiophobia and EBBS-Barriers scores (r=–0.424, p<0.01), as well as EBBS-Benefits scores (r=–0.344, p<0.01) for all patients. EBBS-Benefits scores were correlated to health status (r=–0.412, p=0.08) and quality of life (r=–0.394, p=0.01) in patients with nonradiographic axSpA.

Conclusion: According to our results, the Turkish EBBS is a valid and reliable tool for patients with axSpA. Perceptions of the patients with axSpA regarding exercise barriers and benefits do not differ according to the disease subtype. It appears that kinesiophobia may be an important parameter regarding exercise perception in axSpA.

This study aims to determine the formulation and physical evaluation of serum and effect of variations in the concentration of xanthan gum as a gelling agent. In this research method used qualitative experiments with variations in the concentration of xanthan gum, namely F1 = 0,25%, F2 = 0,50%, F3 = 0,75%. The results of the third organoleptic test have almost the same shape, smell and color, semi-solid, odorless and album white in color. The homogeneity test shows that the three formulas are homogeneous. The resultof the evaluation of facial serum pH is F1=4,56±0,05; F2=4,96±0,05; F3=4,97±0,03 met the requirements for a good facial serum pH of 4,50-6,50. The results of the dispersion test at F1=6,83±0,01cm; F2=6,78±0,03cm; F3=6,72±0,02cm fulfills the requirements for the dispersion test, which is 5-7cm. Viscosity test results F1=544,82±23,17cPs; F2=5.568,70±280,26cPs; F3=10.326±219,54cPs indicates that only F1 meets the requirements for a good serum viscosity of 230-1150cPs. Transferred volume test results F1=97,44±0,01; F2=95,67±0,50; F3 = 95,33±0,50 meets the requirements. The results of the hedonic test were F1 the most preferred based on the color and aroma categories and F2 the most preferred based on the color and texture categories. Based on the results of statistical tests using One Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis, it can be ascertained that variations in the concentration of xanthan gum have no effect on the results of physical evaluation
