Published: April 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide implications for improving gifted education programs by analyzing the secondary life science among the competency-based gifted education programs of the Gifted Education Database (GED).
Methods Among GED's competency-based gifted education programs, the secondary life science consists of ‘system and interaction’ in 2018, ‘energy’ and ‘stability’ in 2019, and ‘pattern of change’ in 2020. Since each major theme consists of several sub-topics and independent classes are conducted for each sub-topic, the class grouped into one sub-topic was considered as an individual program and analyzed. For the analysis of the program, the ‘evaluation criteria for science gifted education programs’ were used as an analysis tool. Three incumbent science teachers with experience in gifted education participated in the analysis of the program, and in order to secure the objectivity of the research, the analysis results were continuously discussed and opinions were collected.
Results As a result of the analysis of a total of 15 programs, a score of 22 to 30 out of 36 points of the evaluation criteria appears. Looking at the main characteristics of the evaluation criteria, the most common characteristics in the 15 programs are ‘3. target clarity’, followed by ‘2. talent development opportunity’, ‘5. evaluation element’, and ‘6. learning activity’. On the other hand, the least visible characteristics in 15 programs are ‘10. consistency of program components and ease of use by other educators’, followed by ‘7. teaching strategy’ and ‘1. nature of differentiation’.
Conclusions When developing competency-based gifted education programs in the secondary life science in the future, it is necessary to supplement the characteristics of ‘10. consistency of program components and ease of use by other educators’, ‘7. teaching strategy’, and ‘1. nature of differentiation’. Through this, it will be possible to actively support the talents and characteristics of gifted students, and teachers in the field of gifted education will be able to properly utilize the programs. In addition, it is necessary to further analyze competency-based gifted education programs in the elementary life science to closely link with secondary gifted education. Also, it is necessary to conduct additional research to directly observe classes on how the programs analyzed in this study are implemented in the field of gifted education.
Exploring the MSCI Participation Experience of Secondary School Preparatory Career Teachers and Ways to Apply it to Schools: Focusing on the Experience of Program Participants Enrolled in a Career Counseling Minor Training Course
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lim Eun-Mi
Published: April 2024

Objectives This study was conducted to explore the program participation experience and school field application methods of secondary school prospective career teachers who participated in My System of Career Influences (MSCI), one of the constructivist career counseling programs.
Methods For these purposes, the MSCI program, which consists of 5 sessions of 90 minutes per session, was implemented as a group counseling method to secondary prospective career teachers, and the contents of the reflection journals submitted by 16 research participants after each session and the last session were analyzed using the CQR. The CQR is a method that inductively organizes and categorizes the statements made by research participants, and is an appropriate method for revealing the inner experiences of research participants that cannot be easily detected with quantitative methods.
Results The research participants’ experience of participating in the MSCI program consisted of three categories such as ‘discovery and enlightenment’, ‘experience of ambivalence in group activities’, ‘learning constructivist career guidance and counseling methods’ and nine subcategories. MSCI’s school application plan consisted of two categories such as ‘Program modification and supplementation plan’ and ‘Application to school curriculum’ and six subcategories.
Conclusions These results suggest that learning through the MSCI experience can help participating prospective career teachers gain confidence and specific application plans for implementing constructivist career counseling in school settings.

The present study aimed aimed at describing and analyzing the general and specific skills and difficulties for pharmacists to act as preceptors. To this end, a literature review was carried out in the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus, for articles published on general and specific competencies of pharmaceutical preceptors. The initial search identified 355 articles and 14 using articles published met the inclusion criteria. The main general competencies were found to be: communication skills, knowledge, problem solving, development of critical thinking and professionalism; as specific: feedback, interpersonal relationships, activities based on student needs, planning, shared expectations and leadership; and the main difficulties were seen as: need for greater qualification of preceptors and lack of time to carry out preceptorship activities. Knowledge of these skills and difficulties can contribute to a better workforce in academic and experiential pharmacy education.
Departmental Metrics to Guide Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for Academic Family Medicine Departments
Authors: Nair Shalina , Rodríguez José E. , Elwood Samantha , Wilson Elisabeth , Ramanathan Annamalai , Stulberg Debra , Vail Belinda , Rundell Kristen , Peek C. J.
Published: April 2024

Problem: Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) efforts have accelerated over the past several years, without a traditional guidebook that other missions often have. To evaluate progress over time, departments of family medicine are seeking ways to measure their current EDI state. Across the specialty, unity regarding which EDI metrics are meaningful is absent, and discordance even exists about what should be measured.
Approach: This paper provides a general metrics framework, including a wide array of possibilities to consider measuring, for assessing individual departmental progress in this broad space. These measures are designed to be general enough to provide common language and can be customized to align with strategic priorities of individual family medicine departments.
Outcomes: The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the Association of Departments of Family Medicine has produced a common framework to facilitate measurement of EDI outcomes in the following areas: care delivery and health, workforce recruitment and retention, learner recruitment and training, and research participation. This framework allows departments to monitor progress across these domains that impact the tripartite mission, providing opportunities to capitalize on measured gains in EDI.
Next Steps: Departments can review this framework and consider which metrics are applicable or develop their own metrics to align with their strategic priorities. In the future, collective departments could compare notes and measure aggregate progress together. Evaluating progress is a step in the journey toward the goal of ensuring that departments are operating from inclusive and just academic systems.
I HAVE THE MOON: aesthetics of contemporary classical music from a composer-performer band retreat.
Authors: Samuel Penderbayne
Published: April 2024

The artistic research project I HAVE THE MOON was an experimental group activity or 'band retreat' for five composer-performers resulting in a public performance in the aDevantgarde Festival, 2019, in Munich. Research was conducted around a central research question stated verbally at the outset of the project: how can aesthetic innovations of contemporary classical music be made accessible to audiences without specialist education or background via communicative techniques of other music genres? After a substantial verbal discussion and sessions of musical jamming, each member created an artistic response to the research question, in the form of a composition or comprovisation, which the group then premiered in the aDevantgarde Festival. The results of the discussion, artistic works and final performance (by means of a video documentation) were then analysed by the project leader and presented in this article. The artistic research position is defined a priori through the research question, during the artistic process in the form of note-taking and multimedial documentation, and a posteriori through a (novel) 'Workflow-Tool-Application Analysis' (WTAA). Together, a method of 'lingocentric intellectual scaffolding' on the emobided knowledge inside the creative process is proposed. Insofar as this embodied knowledge can be seen as a 'field' to be researched, the methodology is built on collaborative autoethnography, 'auto-', since the project leader took part in the artistic process, guiding it from within.
Population genetics and phylogeographic history of the insular lizard Podarcis lilfordi (Gunther, 1874) from the Balearic Islands based on genome-wide polymorphic data

Published: April 2024

Islands provide a great system to explore the processes that maintain
genetic diversity and promote local adaptation. We explored the genomic
diversity of the Balearic lizard Podarcis lilfordi, an endemic species
characterized by numerous small insular populations with large
phenotypic diversity. Using the newly available genome for this species,
we characterized more than 300,000 SNPs, merging Genotype by Sequencing
(GBS) data with previously published Restriction-site associated DNA
sequencing (RADSeq) data, providing a dataset of 16 island populations
(191 individuals) across the range of species distribution (Menorca,
Mallorca, and Cabrera). Results indicate that each islet hosts a
well-differentiated population (Fst=0.2470.09), with no recent
immigration/translocation events. Contrary to expectations, most
populations harbor a considerable genetic diversity (mean nucleotide
diversity, Pi=0.1440.021), characterized by overall low inbreeding
values (Fis<0.1). While the genetic diversity significantly
decreased with decreasing islet surface, maintenance of substantial
genetic diversity even in tiny islets suggests variable selection or
other mechanisms that buffer genetic drift. Maximum-likelihood tree
based on concatenated SNP data confirmed the existence of the two major
independent lineages of Menorca and Mallorca/Cabrera. Multiple lines of
evidence, including admixture and root testing, robustly placed the
origin of the species in the Mallorca Island, rather than in Menorca.
Outlier analysis mainly retrieved a strong signature of genome
differentiation between the two major archipelagos, especially in the
sexual chromosome Z. A set of proteins were target of multiple outliers
and primarily associated with binding and catalytic activity, providing
interesting candidates for future selection studies. This study provides
the framework to explore crucial aspects of the genetic basis of
phenotypic divergence and insular adaptation.

El objeto de ese trabajo fue establecer una concentración anestésica óptima de eugenol para la manipulación de los juveniles híbridos de Pseudoplatystoma metaense por Leiarius marmoratus (PxL) y determinar la sobrevivencia posterior a la anestesia (24 horas). Cuarenta juveniles del híbrido PxL (9,3 ± 2,75 g y 9.08 ± 0.8 cm) provenientes de los estanques de la estación IALL obtenidos de un mismo desove fueron expuestos al eugenol (85% de pureza en base oleosa) (30, 50, 60 y 70 mg/L) y un grupo control (etanol 0.8 ml/L). Los especímenes de cada grupo experimental (n= 8 peces), fueron seleccionados al azar y sometidos individualmente a cada tratamiento en un acuario con capacidad de 10L y recuperados en agua corriente. Los parámetros de calidad de agua determinados para el experimento fueron Temperatura 28, 3 ± 0.12°C, OD: 2,3 ± 8,0 mg/L y pH: 5,4± 0,32. Ninguno de los tratamientos causo mortalidad (100% de sobrevivencia). Los tiempos de inducción medidos para las concentraciones 50, 60 y 70 mg/L fueron significativamente inferiores a los registrados para la concentración de 30 mg/L en la cual se presentaron tiempos de inducción por encima de los 400 segundos. Aunque ninguna de las concentraciones produjo daños en la recuperación de los animales, en consideración con los tiempos de inducción-recuperación anestésica se concluye que la concentración de 50 mg/L de eugenol es la más recomendable para la manipulación de híbridos PxL.

Authors: Cruz-Velásquez Yorcelis , Kijora Claudia , Vergara-Hernández Wensy , Schulz Carsten
Published: April 2024

Juveniles of Cachama blanca and Nile tilapia averaging 86.7 g and 39.6 g, respectively, were co-stocked in 12 experimental units (18m2 in area) at a total density of three fish m-2.The species mixture consisted of 25% Cachama blanca and 75% tilapia. The fish were fed with a commercial aquafeed (24% crude protein) as control diet. Fermented duckweeds (DW), Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza, and fermented water fern (WF), Azolla filiculoides, at 15% substitution level of the commercial aqua feed were offered as experimental diets for a total of three treatments with four replicates per treatment. The experiment was carried out during a period of 120 days of rearing. Growth performance and productive parameters were evaluated. Results on Cachama blanca showed that no significant differences were found for FCR (from 2.7 to 3.0), total Biomass (5536 to 6444 g) and yield (from 3076 to 3580 kg/ha) among treatments. Mean final weight (from 423 to 494 g), weight gain and specific growth ratio (SGR) were higher for Cachama blanca fed on control and DW diets than for those fed on WF diets. Similar results were observed for Nile tilapia. Mean final weight, weight gain and SGR of Nile tilapia fed on DW do not differed significantly from the control diet, but for those fed on WF, which performance was significantly lower. Yield for Nile tilapia varied from 3124 to 3829 kg ha-1 and did not differ between the treatments. Average FCR was calculated for Nile tilapia between 2.1 and 2.5 and was better than for Cachama blanca. Results indicated that fermented duckweeds (Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza) can effectively replace commercial aqua feed at a 15% level for rearing juveniles of Cachama blanca and Nile tilapia in a traditional polyculture.

Titulo: en ingles:  Induced breeding of Capaz (Pimelodus grosskopfii) with carp pituitary extract: preliminary reportRESUMEN: Con el propósito de evaluar un protocolo para la reproducción inducida de capaz Pimelodus grosskopfii, fueron seleccionados machos y hembras en estado de madurez sexual avanzada, evaluada en los machos por emisión de semen ante una leve presión sobre la cavidad celómica y en las hembras por el diámetro de los ovocitos y la posición del núcleo, obtenidos por medio de biopsia ovárica. Como inductor a la maduración final de las gónadas se utilizó extracto de hipófisis de carpa (EHC), en dosis única de 4 mg kg-1 para machos y 5.75 mg kg-1 (tres inyecciones) para hembras. A partir de la última inyección de la hembra y hasta la ovulación, se registró la temperatura del agua para determinar el tiempo de latencia. El semen fue extraído 9 h después de la administración de la hormona. Las hembras ovularon a las 7 ± 0.2 h a una temperatura del agua de 27.9±0.2°C. La fecundidad reproductiva fue de 14800±1000 ovocitos por hembra, la fertilidad de 90±10 %, evaluada 6 h post-fertilización (HPF) y el porcentaje de eclosión de 80±15 observada a las 12 HPF. Con estos resultados preliminares se concluye que el EHC es efectivo para inducir la maduración final de las gónadas en esta especie bajo condiciones de cautiverio y, en consecuencia, se convierte en una alternativa para manipular su reproducción en cautiverio y contribuir a la diversificación de la piscicultura colombiana.Palabras claves: Capaz, extracto de hipófisis de carpa, Pimelodus grosskopfii, reproducción inducida.ABSTRACT:  In order to evaluate a protocol for induced breeding of Capaz Pimelodus grosskopfii, male and female in advanced stated of maturity were selected, it was evaluated in males by semen emission faced with a slight pressure in the coelomic cavity, and in females by the position of nucleus and oocyte diameter obtained through ovarian biopsy. As a final maturation inducer was used carp pituitary extract (CPE), with a single dose of 4 mg kg-1 for males and 5.75 mg.kg-1 (three doses) for females. Since the last dose of the female until ovulation, the water temperature was recorded to determine the latency time; the semen was taken 9 hours (h) after the last dose of the male. Females ovulated at 7 ± 0.2 hours on water temperature of 27.9 ± 0.2 °C. Reproductive fecundity was 14 800 ± 1000 ovocytes per female. Fertility was 90 ± 10 %, it was evaluated at 6 hours post fertilization (HPF) and the hatching rate of 80 ± 15 was observed at 12 HPF. These preliminary results permit to conclude that the CPE is effective in inducing final maturation of the species in captivity and therefore this becomes an alternative for diversification of pisciculture in Colombia.Key words: Capaz, carp pituitary extract, induced breeding, Pimelodus grosskopfii.

Published: April 2024

La Organización Mundial de la Salud en consonancia con los objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, identificó el período entre 2020 a 2030 como la década del envejecimiento saludable. La práctica regular de actividad física tiene un impacto positivo en la salud física y mental, la calidad de vida e independencia en adultos mayores. El objetivo de esta experiencia comunitaria es desarrollar una intervención que promueva la práctica regular de actividad física en los adultos mayores que residen en el Barrio Mutis de Bucaramanga, para promover un envejecimiento saludable. Las acciones del programa que se han ejecutado incluyen las etapas de: 1) Difusión; 2) Evaluación: actividad física, desempeño de tareas duales, movilidad y riesgo de caídas; 3) Intervención: sesiones de actividad física en espacios públicos (Frecuencia: 5 días a la semana; duración:1 hora); 4) Reevaluación (en proceso). Los principales aliados del programa han sido las lideresas comunitarias en la etapa de difusión y el Instituto de la Juventud, el Deporte y la Recreación de Bucaramanga (INDERBU) por facilitar los espacios para las intervenciones. Dentro de los detractores se encuentran la falta de recursos, disponibilidad de los usuarios del programa, y las creencias y actitudes para la práctica de actividad física en los residentes del Barrio Mutis. El programa inició el 8 de junio de 2021 y se desarrolla en los espacios públicos del Barrio Mutis, de Bucaramanga. Dentro de los logros y aprendizajes se destaca la realización de 45 sesiones de actividad física, con asistencia promedio por sesión de ocho participantes y 19 participantes adheridos al programa. Inclusión de acciones educomunicativas de redistribución de tiempo en comportamiento sedentario, así como, comportamientos saludables. Como desafío se propone la inclusión más usuarios del régimen subsidiado y del género masculino, promover la adherencia en usuarios nuevos, y mantener la adherencia en usuarios activos, diversificando las actividades realizadas en las sesiones de intervención.
Método de cálculo de tasas de infección respiratoria aguda por secciones urbanas a partir de estadísticas por prestadores de salud en Cúcuta, Norte de Santander
Authors: Cortés-Ramírez Javier , París-Pineda Olga M. , Wilches-Vega Juan D.
Published: April 2024

Las decisiones en salud pública requieren evidencia médica e información estadística producidas conrigor académico, sin embargo, frecuentemente las estadísticas básicas identifican problemas de salud a nivel de ciudad, pero tienen poca utilidad para identificar problemas en comunidades específicas como barrios o secciones urbanas. Este estudio desarrolla un método para calcular tasas de enfermedad a nivel de secciones urbanas a partir de estadísticas provistas a nivel de prestadores de salud en Cúcuta, Norte de Santander. Se calcularon las tasas de Infección Respiratoria Aguda (IRA) en cada Sección Urbana de Cúcuta (SECU), usando los casos de IRA reportados a nivel de instituciones prestadoras de salud. El análisis utilizó un Sistema de Información Geográfico (SIG) para identificar la distribución geográfica de las SECU y su densidad poblacional, para asignar los casos de IRA por SECU. El número de consultas por IRA en el periodo 01/01/2018 - 31/12/2018 fue categorizado por Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud (IPS). Se definieron tres niveles de agregación espacial al rededor de cada IPS de acuerdo con el alcance de sus servicios en 3 categorías; primarias, intermedias y generales. El número de consultas por IRA en cada SECU se estimó asignando un valor de acuerdo con la proporción poblacional de cada SECU entre cada nivel de agrupación espacial. Así, la tasa de IRA se calculó dividiendo el total entre la población, y luego se ajusto a la distribución geográfica de las SECU. Finalmente se calcularon las SECU con el mayor riesgo de IRA (hotspots). Los análisis se hicieron con ArcMap (ver 10.6) y Geoda (ver 1.9) usando el test I de Moran. Se presentaron 121.378 casos de IRA en Cúcuta en el periodo estudiado; 32.3% reportados por Hospitales, 36.5% por IPS intermedias, y 31.3% por IPS primarias. Las tasas más altas de IRA se encontraron en agrupaciones del centro-sur de la ciudad, en el centro-occidente, norte, noroeste, nordeste, centro-este y centro de Cúcuta.

La guía práctica para la implementación de los sistemas de gestión HSEQ permite de forma sencilla, clara, precisa y práctica, a través de la experiencia de los autores, proporcionar una estructura operativa de implementación de los sistemas de gestión que permita planificar y organizar los grupos de trabajo necesarios para tal fin, a través de un modelo de implementación estándar de diez grandes pasos. Ninguna norma por si sola tiene una explicación de por dónde y cómo empezar a implementar los sistemas de gestión, ni tampoco un ejemplo de la información documentada necesaria para responder a los requisitos especificados, razón por la cual se hace indispensable definir un hilo conductor para que cualquier empresa de cualquier tamaño y sector en Colombia, vea la implementación de estas normas de gestión de procesos como una oportunidad de crecimiento y de aumento sostenido de su nivel de madurez. Se pretendió con esta investigación, diseñar una guía metodológica para la implementación de los sistemas integrados de gestión HSEQ en las organizaciones del sector productivo durante dos años. Para la recolección y análisis de la información, esta investigación adoptó el método de observar un fenómeno analizando los procesos puestos en marcha por cada uno de los investigadores como experiencia propia en su sector de actividad. De esa manera se pudieron obtener los siguientes resultados: a. Desde el resultado del modelo estándar de diez grandes pasos para la implementación de los sistemas de gestión HSEQ. b. Desde la evaluación del modelo de diez grandes pasos de los sistemas HSEQ, mediante la implementación del SG-SST en el hotel Embajador del Llano, ubicado en la ciudad de Villavicencio – Meta, con un 81.44% de cumplimiento de los requisitos reglamentarios. c. Desde el impacto organizacional que el modelo de Diez grandes pasos ha tenido en la empresa Almacén y Taller Rectiamerica, con un aumento de 30% en la productividad, de la rentabilidad en 10%, 93% del nivel de satisfacción del cliente, reducción de tasa de garantías a un promedio de 2% anual, y disposición de un total de 13.35 toneladas de material metálico en tres años. De esta manera, la guía para implementación de los sistemas integrados es una forma innovadora, práctica y accesible para implementar sistemas integrados basándose en su Modelo de los 10 pasos que ofrecen al lector una herramienta dinámica y útil en las empresas en Colombia.

Published: April 2024

Novel tungstate SrLa6-xW10O40: xEu3+ (x = 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.21) red phosphors were prepared by solid state method at 1150 ?C by using SrCO3, La2O3, WO3 and Eu2O3 as raw materials. The powders were agglomerated with particles having mostly spheroidal morphology, mean particle size D50 = 12.8 ?m and narrow particle size distribution. With the increase of doping amount x, there is no significant difference in the diffraction peak position of the phosphor, but the cell volume of SrLa6W10O40 slowly decreases. The relative strength of diffraction peaks decreases gradually and the half-peak width widens gradually, indicating that the inclusion of Eu3+ ions affects the crystallization of the SrLa6W10O40 matrix. Excitation and emission spectra of the prepared samples were obtained. The optimal doping content has the SrLa5.85W10O4: 0.15Eu3+ phosphor and is characterised with the colour coordinate of (0.652, 0.348), which is closer to the red standard colour (0.67, 0.33) than the near-ultraviolet red phosphor Y2O2S: Eu3+ (0.622, 0.351) used for commercial LED.
Coupling Michelson-like lateral shear interferometric microscopy with self-referencing numerical phase calibration for quantitative measurement of 3D surface morphology of biological cells

Published: April 2024

A Michelson interferometer is commonly used for evaluating the morphology of a cell. However, the interference imaging with reference and object beams is easily affected by external vibrations and environmental disturbances, leading to unstable interference patterns. In this paper, the three-dimensional surface morphology of the biological cell is evaluated by a new quantitative phase imaging method, which couples Michelson-like lateral shear interferometric microscopy with self-referencing numerical phase calibration. The Michelson-like lateral shear interferometric microscopy is constructed by replacing the two plane mirrors of the traditional Michelson interferometer with two common right-angle prisms and generates interference fringe patterns. The lateral shear is created and freely adjustable by simply translating/or rotating one right-angle prism. To calculate the phase information of the biological cells quantitatively, the classical Fourier transform method is used to process the recorded interferogram, and then the self-referencing numerical phase calibration method is utilized for acquiring accurate phase information. Successfully achieving quantitative phase imaging of a cell verifies the feasibility and practicability of the proposed method.

Para o planejamento das jornadas e turnos de trabalho, se faz necessária a análise dos seus efeitos na produtividade das operações. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a influência dos turnos de trabalho na produtividade e eficiência operacional da etapa de processamento de toras em um sistema de colheita de árvores inteiras de uma empresa florestal localizada na cidade de Telêmaco Borba – PR e analisar também, a variação da produtividade durante a semana. Foram coletados 360 dados de produção e de horas de efetivo trabalho de um período de 40 meses. Os resultados mostraram não haver diferença na produtividade dos turnos e que as produções durante a semana também não apresentam significativas alterações de segunda à sexta-feira. Entretanto, o turno que compreende o período das 00h00min às 6h00min, apresentou maior resultado de eficiência operacional. Com isso conclui-se que as interrupções que geralmente ocorrem nos dois turnos compreendidos entre às 6h00min e 00h00min, podem afetar significativamente a eficiência operacional do turno. O planejamento dos turnos de trabalho de forma a abranger períodos do dia com menores incidências de interrupções, apresenta-se como uma alternativa para otimizar a eficiência operacional das operações florestais e consequentemente otimizar a produção.

The goal. This research addresses a significant scientific and practical challenge within modern therapeutic dentistry: assessing the periodontal status of patients suffering from chronic rheumatic heart disease.Material and Methods. The study analyzed the diagnostic structure and prevalence of dystrophic-inflammatory diseases of the periodontium in individuals diagnosed with chronic rheumatic heart disease, considering the clinical progression and severity of the condition. It involved examining 719 patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease from the rheumatology department of the Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital and 290 clinically healthy comparison subjects.Results and Discussion. The incidence of periodontal disease among patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease was found to be 92.49%, which is 13.18% higher than that in a comparable group. Dental examinations of patients with accompanying somatic pathologies revealed a high prevalence of periodontitis (92.49 ± 0.98%). An increased affliction of periodontal tissues was observed in younger age groups. The prevalence of generalized periodontitis was found to increase with the duration of the rheumatic disease, being diagnosed in all participants with a rheumatic disease duration of 10 years or more.Conclusions: the study's findings suggest that periodontal diseases are more prevalent in individuals with chronic rheumatic heart disease, particularly affecting younger demographics, with the severity and progression dynamics influenced by the duration of the underlying disease. This underscores the necessity for developing tailored comprehensive treatment and prevention strategies for dental diseases in this patient group, taking into account the nature and duration of the accompanying somatic disease.

Vulnerability is a condition of a community or society that causes the inability to face the threat of disaster. Geographic information systems (GIS) have become essential tools in evaluating natural hazards and risks which is an aspect to define vulnerability of the volcano eruption-affected area. Based on activity of volcano, it is necessary to delineate the vulnerability of areas affected by the eruption of Mount Agung by integrating the Mount Agung Area Network Map and Geological Map with physical vulnerability data and social vulnerability. This research using processing methods and spatial analysis of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing methods. Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to create vulnerability maps using scoring, weighting, and overlay methods. The data used for making the vulnerability map include administrative boundaries, DEM (Digital Elevation Model), secondary data from the BPS 2020 Karangasem Regencyt in Figures, geological maps, settlement data and land cover maps. The results based on these data show the number of areas affected by the eruption of Mount Agung, the data states that the data area with low vulnerability has an area of 0.001490 Ha. Medium vulnerability data has an eruption affected area of 47.024493897 Ha. While the high vulnerability has an affected area of 36.878843877 Ha. Differences in the level of vulnerability are influenced by social vulnerability, physical vulnerability, and environmental vulnerability.Keywords: Delineation, Eruption, GIS, Mount Agung, Vulnerability

Published: April 2024

The problem of seawater seepage in coastal areas can result in a decrease in groundwater quality due to the mixing of seawater and groundwater, so seawater seepage has an impact on increasing salinity, including in the research area. The research location is in the Lampulo beach area, Kuta Alam sub-district. Phreatic well water is generally not liked by residents of this coastal area because it tastes brackish. The high salinity of phreatic groundwater is caused by seawater seepage into alluvial land. The aim of this research is to analyze the level of groundwater salinity in the Lampulo coastal area, Kuta Alam sub-district. This research uses a grid sampling method and criteria for assessing groundwater salinity (o/oo) based on salt content. Groundwater salinity was measured randomly in 50 phreatic wells using a refractometer and marked with sample coordinates using the Avenza Maps application. Field measurement results show that there are variations in salinity values ranging from 0 to 32 ppt. Phreatic well water at the research location based on its salt content is grouped into three groups, namely fresh water, brackish water and salt water. For the freshwater group, a percentage value was obtained with a prevalence of 68%; for the brackish water group, a percentage value was obtained with a prevalence of 26%; and for the salt water group, a percentage value was obtained with a prevalence of 6%.Keywords: Salinity, Groundwater, Phreatic Well, Seawater Seepage, Grid SamplingÂ

A regularidade dos padrões urbanos: a sintaxe espacial como estratégia para leitura de Olinda e Brasília
Authors: Ribeiro Manuela Souza , Medeiros Valério Augusto Soares de
Published: April 2024

A pesquisa explora a abordagem configuracional, baseando-se nas estratégias de leitura e de representação do espaço associadas à teoria da lógica social do espaço (sintaxe espacial). A investigação confronta padrões espaciais de duas cidades que demarcam etapas diferentes da concepção urbana impressa no Brasil: Olinda e Brasília. A primeira, de origem colonial, representa as cidades forjadas à maneira portuguesa, adaptadas às características geomórficas do sítio de implantação; e a segunda, capital federal, ícone do desenho moderno funcionalista. Por meio da interpretação de algumas variáveis - compacidade, integração, conectividade, inteligibilidade, sinergia e isovistas/visibilidade, pretende-se responder a duas questões de pesquisa: como se dá a apropriação do espaço, do ponto de vista configuracional, nos dois contextos e que relações existem entre as atividades e os espaços que as abrigam?

Published: April 2024

The present study aimed to determine the dynamic relationship between good governance, fiscal policy, and economic growth in Oman. In the context of the current study, researchers chose a quantitative approach to answer the research questions, utilizing the latest 2023 data from the World Bank and The Global Economy databases. The data for the current study was carefully selected using variables that represent aspects of governance, fiscal policies, and economic performance. Our analysis uses Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model. These methods help us understand these factors’ immediate and long-term impacts on Oman’s economy. The results we obtained offer fascinating insights into the country’s economic dynamics. We observe bidirectional causal relationships between the Good Governance Index (GGI) and the Regulatory Quality Index (RQI) and economic growth, while Fiscal Policy Effectiveness (FPE), Government Efficiency Index (GEI), and the Rule of Law Index (RLI) exhibit unidirectional causality towards GDP. Budget Balance (BB) shows no causal relationship with GDP, implying external factors influence it. Additionally, moderation analysis underscores the significance of digital financial inclusion in amplifying the effects of governance and fiscal policies on economic growth. These findings hold practical implications for policymakers and stakeholders in Oman. Specifically, they highlight the importance of governance, regulatory quality, and effective fiscal policies in shaping the economic landscape. To foster sustainable economic development, efforts should improve governance, enhance fiscal policy effectiveness, and promote digital financial inclusion.

In the setting of an Ebstein's anomaly, a right-to-left shunt via a patent foramen ovale (PFO) may be the cause of a significant cyanosis. In these patients, the PFO closure is able to improve the arterial saturation. Furthermore, a partial closure is often recommended to obtain a reduction in the PFO right-left shunt without a significant impact on the right chamber hemodynamics. However, in some cases, a complex PFO anatomy may prevent an effective device closure.

We describe the case of a patient with Ebstein's anomaly and a significant cyanosis due to a right-to-left shunt via the PFO wherein an effective partial PFO closure with a suture-mediated NobleStitch EL system was achieved in a setting of a complex PFO anatomy (large aneurismatic septum, long stiff tunnel, and hypertrophic septum secundum) after a failed device-closure attempt.
