Todo teatro é necessariamente político, já dizia Boal: E o ensino de teatro na escola também é político?
Authors: Catelan Fernando Bueno
Published: May 2024

O capítulo “Todo teatro é necessariamente político, já dizia Boal: E o ensino de teatro na escola também é político?” relato um pouco das conversas que tivemos no dia primeiro de dezembro de 2020, no fórum temático — que dá título a este capítulo — online, dentro da programação do II EnreFAEB Sudeste. Contamos com a participação de diversas pessoas da região sudeste e de outras regiões do Brasil, o que enriqueceu muito o debate. A dinâmica proposta foi a de compartilharmos o espaço exatamente como num fórum, onde a palavra circula, há encontro de ideias e contribuições de reflexões e experiências. Assim, palavras e pensamentos começam a tecer uma malha de possibilidades de entradas e saídas para questões cujo objetivo não consiste em chegar a conclusões, e sim em trocas que nos fortaleçam no coletivo. A partir de algumas provocações e sobreposições de camadas de falas, discutimos e refletimos aspectos políticos do teatro na escola a partir das características do próprio teatro, uma vez que essa arte é essencialmente de reunião e acontece em espaço coletivo de diálogo e como algo que também é próprio da política. Então nos fizemos a seguinte pergunta: Como esses e outros aspectos políticos são observados no ensino de teatro na escola?

Este artigo é fruto da pesquisa realizada no mestrado profissional em artes na UNESP, nele é apresentado reflexões teóricas e práticas acerca da improvisação teatral na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), ao abordar aspectos políticos inerentes à educação e ao teatro. Ao discutir relações entre política, emancipação e educação, são evocados trabalhos pedagógicos de Paulo Freire, que ajudam a estabelecer relação direta entre intencionalidades políticas e práticas educativas, e o trabalho de Augusto Boal que destaca que todo teatro é político ao evidenciar sua atuação criadora em favor de uma ação política transformadora. A pesquisa apresenta quatro experiencias práticas fundamentadas nos estudos, conceitos e definições pesquisadas, em três escolas de Educação de Jovens e Adultos, da rede municipal de São Bernardo do Campo (SP), a fim de observar como as experiências de improvisação teatral podem contribuir no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, como fator determinante para a libertação.
Professional Development and Changes in Teachers’ Teaching Practices: A Pilot Study
Authors: Fan Xiaoping , Zuest Luciana
Published: May 2024

Current efforts to improve physical education programs involve providing teachers with quality preparation professional development opportunities, especially for elementary classroom teachers (ECTs) who deliver physical education without adequate preparation (DeCorby et al., 2005).[5] However, little is known about the role of continuous professional development (CPD) in changes in ECTs’ practices regarding teaching physical education (Parker et al., 2022).[23] This study utilized visual methods to explore changes in ECTs’ practices regarding physical education teaching throughout their participation in a state-funded, five-month-long CPD initiative. The participants were four elementary classroom teachers in rural California. The CPD initiative consisted of a three-day summer institute and two follow-up sessions. Participant-generated visual diaries and focus group interviews were used to capture teacher practice changes. Findings revealed three themes: a) A focus on standards-based instruction facilitated teacher’s change; b) Involvement in a community of learners can be a powerful source of change; and c) Teacher change is a time-consuming process. This study highlights that ECTs who receive inadequate training in physical education teacher education are more likely to have a lack of competence and confidence in teaching physical education. The CPD activities can potentially enhance ECTs’ skills in planning and teaching practice, thereby boosting their confidence.

Due to their unique heat transfer features, graphite foams are used in the current analysis to form heat sinks effective enough to dissipate extreme heat generated within high-performance electronics. The heat sinks proposed are formed from foamed-baffles arranged either in parallel or perpendicular to the coolant paths through the staggered slots in between to alleviate the penalty of pressure drop while maintaining high heat dissipation capability. Two different sorts of dielectric coolants namely, air and the FC-3283 electronic liquid developed by 3MTM, have been utilized to directly dissipate the heat generated. The feasibility of the currently proposed heat sinks has been examined numerically based on the volume averaging concept of porous media employing the local thermal non-equilibrium model to account for interstitial heat exchange between the foam solid matrix and the fluid particles flowing across. A wide range of design parameters has been tested including the heat sink configuration along with structural characteristics of the graphite foam used. It has been found that foam baffles oriented perpendicular to the path of coolant flow can dissipate heat by about 50% better than those parallel to it, but with higher pressure losses. It has also been found that heat dissipation capability, for a certain orientation of baffles, can be improved by up to 100% when the foam pore size is doubled with outstanding saving in pressure losses by up to 300%. The impact of operating conditions, including the coolant flowrate and the heat flux applied, has also been inspected. The currently proposed heat sinks have been found efficient to meet the thermal demands of high-performance electronics and sweep away the extreme heat generated there with reasonable cost of pressure drop, where the proper selection of design parameters in light of the operating conditions applied can prevent the emergence of hot spots entirely. Extreme operating conditions, i.e. with heat density of up to 10W/cm2 for air-cooled heat sinks and 100W/cm2 for those cooled with FC-3283, can be well managed when a heat sink is configured from baffles that are oriented perpendicularly to the coolant flow path and formed of graphite foam having low porosity (∅=0.8) and larger pore size

The indiscriminate disposal of waste into various dumpsites with noncompliance to the existing environmental laws and the inadequate provision for leachate containments had resulted in the degradation of environmental resources over the years. The research investigated the practicability of enhanced termite mound-bentonite mixture as an alternate landfill bottom liner. The percentage weight ratio of mound soil and bentonite used for the experimental study were (100:0), (95:5), (90:10) and (85:15) respectively. The study was conducted on a pilot scale artificial landfill (800 x 800 x 400 mm) with four sections AX, AY, BX and BY. Bottom liner was exposed to wastewater for 26 weeks retention period. The pilot scale experimental study revealed that liner mixtures in sections AX, AY and BX failed during the 6, 11 and 17th week retention periods respectively with a corresponding seepage amounting to , and mm3 respectively. However, no seepage was recorded for liner mixture in section BY which connotes that wastewater leakage was prevented throughout the experimental framework. Conclusively, the application of termite mound soil enhanced with 15% bentonite is recommended as a bottom liner in a waste containment system.

Bean production in Tanzania barely meets half of the domestic demand because of low yield attributed to low fertility, nitrogen being the most common deficient. The use of rhizobia inoculants can substantially increase bean yields. However, less than 1% of the farming population is aware of inoculants. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of different rhizobia strains with specific common beans landraces in biological nitrogen fixation and yields. Four experiments were conducted during in a screen house at Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA). Two experiment consisted Leonard jar and the other two were pot experiments in which the soil used were either sterilized or unsterilized. The landraces collected were Kasuka Nywele, Msafiri and Manjano from Mbeya; Nyayo, Soya and Kachumbaa from Arusha; and Kabungu, Nyamungu and Karanga from Morogoro. Two sets of Leonard jars were arranged in completely randomized block design in triplicate and the other two pot experiments were arranged in split split plot design. Inoculants in pot experiments used were Nitro-SUA, Underwood Biostacked as commercial and native. Landrace were the main plot, soil sterilization as a sub plot and inoculants as sub sub plot replicated three times. Data were subjected to analysis of variance using GENSTAT software. Significance differences in N2 fixation were observed among all landraces in all experiments, promising results were observed from Nyayo, Nyamungu, Msafiri and Kabungu. Native rhizobia had comparable symbiotic effectiveness to commercial inoculants in unsterilized soils and vice versa in sterilized soils conditions though soil sterilization was not significant. The findings on this study provide rooms for further research especially on the promising landraces to nodulation and explore their effectiveness.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have received great attention for their applications in concrete due to their unique properties such as high strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity. This study aims to investigate the effect of adding carbon nanotubes on the energy combination of the material. Concrete samples were prepared with different concentrations of carbon nanotubes and their mechanical properties were measured and compared with control samples without carbon nanotubes. The results show that the addition of carbon nanotubes increases the compressive and flexural strength of concrete. The findings suggest that incorporating carbon nanotubes into concrete could be a good way to improve concrete's mechanical properties and improve its performance in construction. Compared with white cement M20 samples aged 7, 14 and 28 days. The 28day maximum strength is stated below for 0.0045 wt.% SWCNT and MWCNT and 0.0030 wt.% SWCNT and MWCNT. It was determined that nanocomposites containing a lower proportion of long MWCNTs had properties comparable to nanocomposites containing a higher proportion of short MWCNTs. Many of the walls of the carbon nanotubes reach microcracks, indicating that the carbon nanotubes are cracked and pulled out. Besides the compression test, we also calculated the slit tensile strength by adding different percentages of carbon nanotubes. The usage percentage increased for 0.0015% MWCNTs and 0.0030% and 0.0045% SWNTs.

Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative bacterium which causes chronic gastritis and plays important roles in peptic ulcer disease, gastric carcinoma, and gastric lymphoma. Its major in the human pathogen that produces inflammation of the stomach and etiologically related to the duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, gastric cancer and mucosa-lymphoid tissue. It is weakens the protective mucous coating of the stomach and duodenum, thus allowing acid to get through to the sensitive lining beneath. Both the acid and the bacteria irritate the lining and cause a sore, or ulcer. Helicobacter treated with a combination of antibiotics plus a proton pump inhibitor. Peptic ulcer is characterized by discontinuation in the inner lining of the gastrointestinal tract because of the gastric acid secretion or pepsin. It extends into muscularis propria layer of the gastric epithelium. It usually occurs in the stomach and proximal duodenum. Peptic means that cause of the problem is due to the acid. It is most common causes in the peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium and causes the long-term use of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Gastric ulcer occurs in the stomach. Duodenal ulcer occurs in the first part of the small intestine. The interplay of gastritis phenotype related to the bacterium colonization and resulting acid secretion.

Published: May 2024

Taxonomic identification is the most significant step in any research, and this is especially true of the sponge fauna. Two marine sponges were identified based on their morphology, skeleton, and spicules characteristics and the fatty acid composition was also studied for Xestospongia vansoesti and Aaptos suberitoides. In both species, the main saturated acids were 16:0 and 18:0. Saturated fatty acids C14-18 of iso /anteiso-structure were detected in both species with different percentages. The positional isomers of octadecenoic acid were the most common in both species with 6.78 % in Xestospongia vansoesti and 5.3% in Aaptos suberitoides. Two demospongic acids C25:2 Δ 5, 9 and C26:2 Δ 5, 9 were detected in both species and the percentage of 5,9-Hexacosadienoic acid in Aaptos suberitoides is high with 7.26% of the total fatty acids content. The characterization of 5,9-pentacosadienoic acid was achieved based on the MS spectra to confirm the presence of demospongic acids in both species.

Authors: Souza Shirlene Rohr de
Published: May 2024

Após breve discussão sobre o gênero romance – características e relação com a contemporaneidade –, o ensaio toma a obra O engenhoso fidalgo Dom Quixote de La Mancha, de Miguel de Cervantes, como referência para tratar dos principais traços que caracterizam a estética do realismo grotesco. Sancho Pança constitui a peça central desta discussão, visto que esta personagem, com singular visão materialista do mundo, é dotada de qualidades inspiradas na cultura popular. Bakhtin (1993; 1996; 1997) constitui a principal base teórica do ensaio, porém o texto é tangenciado por outros autores, tais como Watt (2010; 1997), Auerbach (2015), Adorno (2012), Bandera (2012), Canavaggio (2005) e outros

Orbital Prosthesis Rehabilitation in Biomedical Engineering by Means of Computer Vision-Photogrammetry and 3D Prototyping
Authors: Falih Mohammed R. , Abed Fanar M.
Published: May 2024

Eye loss may be caused as a result of eye trauma, accidents, or malignant tumors, which leads the patient to undergo surgery to remove the damaged parts. This research examines the potential of computer vision represented by Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry in fabricating the orbital prosthesis as a noninvasive and low-cost technique. A low-cost camera was used to collect the data towards extracting the dense 3D data of the patient facial features following Structure from Motion-Multi View Stereo (SfM-MVS) algorithms. To restore the defective orbital, a Reverse Engineering (RE) based approach has been applied using the similarity RE algorithms based on the opposite healthy eye to rehabilitate the defected orbital precisely. Following quality assurance and best-fitting statistical analysis, the digital model of the restored eye was converted into a physical model using 3D prototyping. This is later used to fabricate the mold for casting medical-grade silicone to obtain the final orbital prosthesis. The results show the power of SfM photogrammetry by offering a high-accuracy model of 0.048 mm and 0.186 mm relative errors acquired in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. These results boost the RE implementation in medicine to reconstruct the patient's damaged eye by mirroring the image of the healthy eye using RE algorithms. Therefore, the margin matching results claim perfect data capture settings and successful data processing workflow as designed in the first place. Consequently, one can claim this approach effectively rehabilitates maxillofacial deformities as an alternative to invasive restoration approaches. The presented approach provided a low-cost and safe workflow that avoids the patient the risks of exposure to harmful rays or magnetic fields available in other sensors.
Mongolia’s struggle for independence with diplomatic and military support of Russia and the RSFSR
Authors: Filin Sergey
Published: May 2024

After Northern Mongolia voluntarily recognized itself as a vassal of the Qing Empire in 1691, it became known as the Outer Empire and lost political and economic independence, the Manchu emperor Kangxi declared its lands his property, embassy relations between Russia and the Khalkha principalities were interrupted. if it were not for the Russian state, the Buryat and Tungus peoples in the Baikal territory would become the same province of the Qing Empire, and they could suffer the fate of the population of the Dzungar Khanate destroyed in 1756 by the Manchu-Chinese troops or the Mongol people who were on the verge of extinction at the beginning of the 20th century. After the fall of the Qing Empire, relying on the help and patronage of Russia, the Khalkha princes on December 1, 2011 proclaimed in Urga the Declaration on the Restoration of Mongolia’s Independence from China. The article shows and analyzes the diplomatic and military assistance of Russia during this period, which became the first country to support the independence of the new Mongolian state.
Open-source tools and platforms to investigate analytical variability in neuroimaging
Authors: Sanz-Robinson Jacob , Wang Michelle , McPherson Brent , Glatard Tristan , Poline Jean-Baptiste
Published: May 2024

Analytical variability often undermines the reproducibility of neuroimaging studies. Researchers have access to a multitude of analysis tools, many of which carry out the same tasks but yield different results when applied to the same data. The array of tools to investigate and address analytical variability is decentralized and scattered. Consequently, researchers often lack the necessary information and protocols to buttress the reliability of their findings across analysis tools. This review catalogs and describes software tools that can be used to address result variability arising from computational pipelines and environments, and explores the use of web computing platforms and data provenance in tackling this issue. The aim is to aid researchers in investigating analytical flexibility by identifying relevant tools and providing guidance on their utilization to enhance accessibility and comprehension. In this article, we use the term “tools” for software or computational libraries.

Published: May 2024

Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained significant traction, primarily due to their potential disruptive influence across industries reliant on natural language processing. Governance stands out as one such sector. Notably, there has been a surge in research activity surrounding the implications of LLMs in deciphering complex legal corpora. This research offers substantial assistance to various stakeholders, including decision-makers, administrators, and citizens. This article focuses on the design and implementation of an LLM-based legal assistant tailored for interacting with legal resources. To achieve this, a real-world scenario has been chosen, incorporating models GPT3.5 and GPT4 as the LLMs, a well-defined legal corpus comprising European Union (EU) legislation and case law concerning the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), alongside a series of reference legal queries of varying complexity. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) as well as agent methodologies are employed to seamlessly integrate the LLMs' functionalities with the customized dataset. The results appear to be promising, as the system managed to correctly address the majority of the legal queries, though with variable precision. Expectantly, the complexity of the queries severely impacted the quality of the outcome.
Analyzing the significance of faster R-CNN model in lung nodule detection
Authors: Agarwal Palaash , Rawal Kamal
Published: May 2024

Accurate detection of lung nodules is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. This paper presents a case study employing an enhanced Faster R-CNN model for lung nodule detection in computed tomography (CT) images, leveraging deep learning techniques. A step-by-step approach is employed to systematically analyze various improvement methods' impact on precision, recall rate, and model runtime. Experimentation reveals that resolution adjustment and the introduction of GIOU Loss significantly enhance model performance, with resolution enlargement leading to detailed feature extraction and GIOU Loss improving target localization accuracy. Integration of data enhancement methods from the Albu database and advanced techniques like Deformable Convolutional Networks (DCN) and Online Hard Example Mining (OHEM) further refine the model, resulting in notable accuracy improvements. Comparative analysis with Cascade R-CNN and YOLOv3 models demonstrates the superior performance of the enhanced Faster R-CNN in terms of average precision and recall rates, emphasizing its efficacy in lung nodule detection. Despite YOLOv3's faster runtime, its lower precision underscores the enhanced model's significance in achieving precise localization and detection of lung nodules. These findings highlight the potential of deep learning techniques, particularly the refined Faster R-CNN model, in revolutionizing medical imaging analysis for early disease diagnosis and treatment planning, albeit requiring further integration with clinical applications and ongoing refinement.
Landscape connectivity informs critical linkage zones for the conservation of African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Tanzania
Authors: Song Lei , Frazier Amy E , Estes Anna Bond , Estes Lyndon
Published: May 2024

The populations of African savanna elephants have declined by an estimated 60% since the 1970s, which can be attributed to a mixture of poaching and habitat loss. Human activities and environmental changes have caused unprecedented loss and fragmentation of elephant natural habitats, resulting in the isolation of elephant populations. Preserving habitat connectivity is thus increasingly important to conserve remaining elephant populations and maintain ecological functions. Using species distribution modeling (SDM) and graph-based landscape connectivity modeling, we aimed to understand population connectivity and target vital corridors across Tanzania, one of the most important elephant range states. However, mapping such a vast extent poses a great challenge due to data availability constraints. To tackle this issue, we developed an integrated modeling approach that leverages multiple, publicly available occurrence datasets, which vary in format and quality, with a multi-scale SDM to estimate spatial suitability of African savanna elephants. Two SDMs based on polygon-based observations and presence-only occurrences were calibrated separately and then ensembled using Bayes fusion. A set of landscape metrics was generated from a land cover map with a high resolution of ~5 m and employed to describe the detailed landscape structure needed to explain the distribution of elephants. We then used the modeled environmental suitability to map landscape connectivity using circuit theory with Circuitscape. Our results indicated that both long-distance and short-distance connectivity are currently facing significant threats from intensive human activities (e.g. agriculture) in Tanzania. In addition, our study identifies critical linkage zones that should be targeted for connectivity conservation efforts and provides new insights to help inform broader efforts to balance development and conservation objectives.
