Transposing problems: towards a decolonial based and (re)inventive Mathematics Education “doesn't go blank”
Authors: Rosa Maurício , Giraldo Victor Augusto
Published: May 2023

This article aims to theoretically discuss the practice of teaching Mathematics under the order of structure and to take flights into comprehensive and propositional concepts related to the (dis)orders of invention. In other words, we will discuss (structured) Mathematics that assumes problem solving as a teaching methodology, as well as its conditioning in the face of a created, civilized and established “Humanity”. On the other hand, we will also seek to discuss and articulate possibilities of (re)inventing classroom practice and to give meaning to the conception of problem transposition as an action of the teacher who teaches mathematics (as a possibility of (re)invention) to go beyond the structure, in order to exercise/teach mathematics of decolonial bases, whose teaching is not established in fear or comfort, but evidences resistance, coherence, respect, social responsibility, political hexis and freedom as premises.
Usos da linguagem matemática pelo professor formador de física numa perspectiva Wittgensteiniana
Authors: Dias Alyne Maria Rosa de Araújo , Vilhena da Silva Paulo , Gonçalves Tadeu Oliver
Published: May 2023

Este artigo traz resultados parciais de uma tese de doutorado que visa olhar para o uso da linguagem matemática no contexto da formação de professores de Física. A pesquisa está subsidiada pela segunda filosofia da linguagem de Wittgenstein. O interesse por olhar esta relação da Matemática e da Física ganha espaço por meio de falas dos professores de Física, ao atribuírem à Matemática a responsabilidade pelo não-aprendizado em Física. Pudemos assim, na utilização de observações de aulas de três professores da licenciatura em Física, extrair por meio de suas falas, concepções sobre esta relação e delas compreender como eles fazem uso da Matemática nesse contexto. Utilizamos a Análise Textual Discursiva como instrumento de análise dessas falas para melhor compreensão. Os resultados apontam que os professores trazem concepções que estão vinculadas às perspectivas filosóficas tradicionais e estas, por vezes, são reproduzidas no uso da Matemática durante o ensino de Física.
Kesetaraan Gender: Perempuan Dalam Perspektif Ajaran Gereja Katolik Menurut Gaudium Et Spes

Published: May 2023

The Catholic Church has always provided space to fight for justice and gender equality to fulfill God's mission in the world. Women's lives have changed dramatically over the past quarter century. Progress on gender equality remains limited. The still strong patriarchal culture prolongs the suffering of the helpless and complicates the struggle and change toward justice and gender equality. Discrimination against women is a common problem in almost all occupations, even in most parts of the world. It can be understood that gender is a distinction that is neither biological nor divine nature. The purpose of this study is to raise the theme of gender equality which is discussed based on Church documents, namely Gaudium Et Spes art. 9 and art. 29. This research uses a type of library research, which has the aim of tracing and analyzing data or information about the essence of Gaudium Et Spes Article 9 and Article 29 documents concerning Gender Equality. The contribution of Gaudium Et Spes Art. 9 and Art. 29 is that the similarities between men and women are through the institution of goodwill in the sense that both men and women participate in what the church stands for, which is the struggle to shape human life more humanely. The Catholic Church also stressed that this will take a long time, considering that the fight for gender equality is not easy, especially in a world that is heavily influenced by patriarchy. In addition, this research is useful to open horizons regarding gender equality and everyone, both men and women, realize the differences that exist as God's goodwill. Through this document, the Church strives to think about how gender issues are taken seriously to avoid injustices in public life.

The engine control unit (ECU) is the primary component of the current injection technique used in spark ignition (SI) engines. The combustion system, which includes injection timing and ignition timing, is controlled by the engine map recorded in the ECU. To maximize an engine's performance, ECU remapping can be used. Remapping is currently not efficient because the data is typically employed in a trial-and-error fashion. To solve these issues, artificial neural network (ANN) techniques are being developed. In this study, engine remapping for fuel economy optimization is predicted using an artificial neural network (ANN). The purpose of this study is to use ANN to compare motorbike performance between before and after engine remapping (Artificial Neural Network). A set of dynamometers is used in this study approach to assess the performance of the 4 stroke, 160 CC spark plug ignition engine in terms of fuel consumption, power, and torque. A current (standard) engine map that contains a number of data from the electronic control unit (ECU) is used to start the optimization process. Pertalite and Pertamax, which are purchased from the closest gas station, are the fuels used in this study. In addition, optimization utilizing ANN is carried out with the goal of 10% increases in torque and power while maintaining a consistent fuel consumption. Following re-implementation into the ECU, the outcomes of the ANN training will be tested again on the dynamometer. The study's finding is that by using the training function, it is possible to improve machine performance using the regression value of R = 0.98993 and the ANN prediction outcomes. Comparing the optimized engine performance to the factory default engine performance, torque increased 10.9% and power rose 9.5%.

To be or not to be relevant: Comparing short- and long-term consequences across working memory prioritization procedures
Authors: Jeanneret Stephanie , Bartsch Lea M. , Vergauwe Evie
Published: May 2023

Priority-based allocation of attentional resources has shown robust effects in working memory (WM) with both cue-based and reward-based prioritization. However, direct comparisons between these effects in WM are needed. Additionally, the consequences of WM prioritization for remembering in the long term remain unclear for both prioritization procedures. Here, we tested and compared the immediate and long-term memory (LTM) effects of cue-based versus reward-based retrospective prioritization of WM content. Participants encoded four memory items and were then indicated to prioritize one of the items through the presentation of either a retro-cue or a reward pattern. We then tested their immediate and delayed memory. The results of the first experiment showed better memory for prioritized than for unprioritized information in WM and LTM, but the WM effect was driven solely by the retro-cue, making it difficult to interpret any reward-based effects in LTM. In the second experiment, using a more explicit and meaningful reward-based manipulation, the results showed a prioritization benefit in WM for both prioritization procedures. In LTM, however, the prioritization effect was predominantly driven by the retro-cue manipulation. Taken together, we found that (1) the way in which attention is directed in WM impacts the size of the prioritization benefit in WM, (2) WM prioritization generally results in a prioritization effect in LTM, and (3) that the effect in LTM is more robust for cue-based prioritization. Exploratory analyses indicated that the LTM effect of cue-based prioritization reflected a cost in performance for noncued items rather than a benefit for cued items.

Objective: To assess the synergistic potential using an exointeractive association between Murraya koenigii hydromethanolic leaf extract and the synthetic compound quercetin to offset methotrexate induced toxicity in mouse cauda epididymal spermatozoa. Methods: Healthy adult male albino mice were divided into eight groups (N= 6/group) and were treated with methotrexate intraperitoneally (10mg/kg body weight) at intervals of every 48 hours for 15 days, to combat this toxic effects of the drug, Murraya koenigii hydromethanolic leaf extract (250mg/kg body weight) and quercetin (15mg and 30mg) alone as well as in combination, were given by oral administration. Various sperm parameters such as sperm count, motility and viability followed by Hypo-osmotic Swelling (HOS) test, apoptosis test, Sperm Toroid Integrity (STI) and Sperm Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) assay. Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis was carried out using Graphpad Prism Version 7 to verify levels of significance at the P < 0.001 value in one-way ANOVA. Results: Methotrexate induced a substantial reduction in sperm count, motility and viability which induces apoptotic changes, also resulted in disruption of sperm toroid protamine-DNA binding, increased fragmentation of nuclear DNA by decreased sperm chromatin dispersion and low percentage of swollen sperm representing membrane integrity loss. whereas Murraya koenigii hydromethanolic leaf extract and quercetin proved effective in reversing the drug induced toxicity, especially with the 15 mg dose of quercetin along with the plant extract brought about significant amelioration than 30mg dose of quercetin due to its pro-oxidant effects. Conclusions: To reduce the toxic manifestations of methotrexate, this exointeractive approach proved efficient.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GANDHI’S AND AMBEDKAR’S VIEWS ON THE INDIAN VILLAGE
Authors: Desai Viraj
Published: May 2023

The present paper focuses on the idea of village in the Indian context and chronicles the various identical transformations it underwent during the colonial times and especially during the freedom movement of India. The paper studies how during the nationalist movement, the idea of village became central to the idea of ‘India’ in the attempt to critique the colonial regime and its means and ways. The paper studies the idea of village from the points of view of two of the most crucial figures of the Indian freedom struggle and the shapers of the independent India, Mahatma Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar. Mahatma Gandhi was a strong proponent of the idea that India could achieve svaraj or Independence only by focusing more and more on its rural life and areas and also candidly pointed out the shortcomings of the contemporary Indian villages for their betterment. The paper also provides an overview of the influence of Gandhi’s views on village on Gujarati as well as Indian literature in English. On one hand where Gandhi’s views of village were a democratic one, B. R. Ambedkar’s views came from the viewpoint of the oppressed. For him, the village represented the microcosm of upper-caste dominance in which the Dalits had no place. Hence, the paper also throws lights on a different view of village than of Gandhi, one of the subaltern’s view.

Introducción: La preeclampsia-eclampsia es una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad materna y perinatal. Objetivos: Determinar el riesgo aterogénico en la preeclampsia precoz y tardía. Método: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en gestantes que ingresaron en el hospital materno con diagnóstico de preeclampsia agravada entre los años 2010 – 2019. La muestra quedó constituida por 506 mujeres, que se subdividieron en precoz (menos de 34 semanas) y tardía (con 34 y más). Se determinó riesgo aterogénico en el momento del diagnóstico de preeclampsia grave y se clasificó a las gestantes según riesgo cardio metabólico usando el método multivariante de clasificación: técnica de conglomerados en dos fases. Las variables utilizadas para el riesgo aterogénico fueron los índices de Castelli y proaterogénico a partir del cociente CT/cHDL. Resultados: Con predominio en edad fértil, con una media de 27,3 años, en la preeclampsia precoz la media resulto 30,6 semanas y en la preeclampsia tardía 37,6 semanas. En los antecedentes patológicos se encontró la multiparidad en 211 gestantes, seguido de la Hipertensión arterial crónica en 207. Del total de las 506 pacientes, 488 tienen un riesgo moderado y máximo (419 (82,8%) máximo riesgo aterogénico y 69(13,6%) riesgo moderado) con un marcado predominio en el grupo de preeclampsia de aparición tardía. Conclusiones: Pertenecen generalmente al grupo de edades reproductivas, la mayoría son multíparas, y la hipertensión arterial crónica es uno de los antecedentes más frecuentes encontrados. El riesgo aterogénico máximo y moderado predomino en la mayoría de las mujeres con preeclampsia agravada sobre todo en la aparición tardía.

El trabajo de parto lleva con este la experiencia que causa uno de los dolores más intensos que se han descrito. En el Instituto de Seguridad Social de El Salvador (ISSS) se registran aproximadamente 600 a 700 partos vaginales por mes y de estos aproximadamente 10-20% solicitan analgesia para trabajo de parto, la cual el servicio de anestesia provee a través del abordaje epidural. Es conocido que se considera que el medicamento ideal para la analgesia de trabajo de parto es la bupivacaína o lidocaína 3, sin embargo, es de especial importancia describir el puntaje de APGAR de los recién nacidos de madres que recibieron cualquiera de estos dos fármacos por la vía ya mencionada. Objetivo: Determinar cómo influye el uso de lidocaína y bupivacaína como anestésico epidural sobre el puntaje APGAR posterior al nacimiento en mujeres embarazadas en fase activa del trabajo de parto con necesidad de analgesia epidural. Métodos: El presente es un estudio observacional descriptivo retrospectivo de fuentes primarias. El servicio de anestesiología del Hospital Materno Infantil Primero de Mayo cuenta con un registro sobre cuántos y a cuáles pacientes se les administra analgesia epidural por lo que el equipo investigador realizó una revisión de la técnica anestésica y se describe el Apgar al final del parto por vía vaginal en aquellas pacientes que recibieron analgesia epidural con lidocaína o bupivacaína. Se realizó el filtrado con la base de datos de Excel utilizando criterios de inclusión y exclusión, logrando incluir finalmente 81 pacientes en el análisis de los datos. Se encontró durante el escrutinio de estos que a 25 de estas se les realizó cesárea de emergencia y en 6 de estos mismos expedientes no se consignó de manera completa todos los datos necesarios para el análisis de ello, por lo que se utilizaron finalmente 51 expedientes clínicos para la realización de la presente investigación. Resultados: El APGAR promedio de los pacientes que recibieron analgesia de trabajo de parto con bupivacaína es de 8.75 y 8.9 al minuto y cinco minutos respectivamente y el promedio de APGAR alcanzado por los recién nacidos de pacientes que recibieron analgesia de trabajo de parto con lidocaína es de 9 puntos al minuto y cinco minutos. Conclusión: El promedio de APGAR en pacientes que recibieron bupivacaína es de 8.75 y el de lidocaína es de 9.

LOCAL AUTHORITIES’ PERFORMANCE IN ZIMBABWE-A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Authors: Sharon Chisango , Faitira Manuere , Zororo Muranda
Published: May 2023

There has been a global uproar recently as local authority service delivery has fallen short of ratepayer expectations, despite the fact that local authority performance, particularly service delivery, is seen as a major motivator of nations towards global sustainability and competitiveness. The current study was therefore founded on the requirement to reduce the gap between ratepayers’ expectations and the performance of the corresponding local authorities in Zimbabwe. For this investigation, we used the search engines Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Science (WoS). The review took into account empirical studies up until June 2022. Because the emphasis was on the performance of local governments, the initial search used variants of the terms ‘efficiency,’ ‘performance assessment,’ ‘local government,’ and ‘local authority.’ The databases produced more than 250 books, articles, and unpublished research papers when these keywords were used. We disregarded conference presentations and dissertations to reduce the overall number of results. The results were then qualitatively screened to make sure they answered the research topic. We ultimately collected 78 studies. The review provides a contextualized view of earlier research in discourses, techniques, and frameworks that draw attention to the difficulties local authorities have in performing their functions, with a focus on service delivery and strategic growth toward sustainable futures. As we go on with our empirical inquiry, the systematic review technique has been a helpful organised way to provide a preliminary source of knowledge in local authority performance assessment and more generally. Future research has a number of prospective directions that have been identified.

The current financial predicament of Local Government Councils and constant pressure for increase in allocation has been in the front burner of Local Governments Administration in Nigeria. The focus of this research paper examined Local Government Finance in Nigeria using Ife Central Local Government. Data for the study were gathered from face-to-face interview and available records in Ife Central Local Government. The data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics (simple percentage) and content analysis. The study explored various sources of financing local governments in Nigeria. It also explained financial relationship of Nigerian local government vis-à-vis State and Federal Government using theory of decentralization. The study went further to explain financial management in Ife Central L.G. Result obtained from the analysis shows that financial transfers from federal government (Statutory Federal Allocation) are the most viable and reliable source of local government revenue and that without Federal Allocation no capital project can be embarked on. Therefore, to arrest this financial situation that local government find itself, that is over dependence on federal allocation, this work submitted that local government should increase their revenue base by laying more emphasis on the internal revenue sources, especially those areas that are hitherto neglected or not been fully exploited.
The Carbon Star DY Persei May Be a Cool R Coronae Borealis Variable

Optical and near-IR photometry suggests that the carbon star DY Persei exhibits fadings similar to those of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) variables. Photometric surveys of the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds uncovered new DY Per variables with infrared photometry identifying them with cool carbon stars, perhaps, with an unusual tendency to shed mass. In an attempt to resolve DY Per’s identity crisis—a cool carbon giant or a cool RCB variable?—we analyze a high-resolution IGRINS H&K-band spectrum of DY Per. The CO first-overtone bands in the K band of DY Per show a high abundance of 18O such that 16O/18O = 4 ± 1, a ratio sharply at odds with published results for regular cool carbon giants with 16O/18O ∼ 1000 but this exceptionally low ratio is characteristic of RCB variables and HdC stars. This similarity suggests that DY Per indeed may be a cool RCB variable. Current opinion considers RCB variables to result from the merger of a He onto a CO white dwarf; observed abundances of these H-deficient stars including the exceptionally low 16O/18O ratios are in fair accord with predicted compositions for white dwarf merger products. An H-deficiency for DY Per is not directly observable but is suggested from the strength of an HF line and an assumption that F may be overabundant, as observed and predicted for RCB stars.
