Objetivo: avaliar práticas de comensalidade no âmbito familiar e possíveis mudanças na rotina alimentar, de crianças entre 2 e 9 anos de idade durante a pandemia do COVID-19. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado com pais e/ou responsáveis de crianças entre 2 e 9 anos, por meio de questionário online, entre novembro e dezembro de 2020. Foram avaliadas as práticas de comensalidade conforme o recomendado no Guia Alimentar Para a População Brasileira. Resultados: dentre as 517 famílias participantes, no que se refere às práticas de comensalidade, foi observada a realização das refeições com regularidade: café da manhã (79,1%), almoço (98,6%), lanche da tarde (88,6%) e jantar (91,5%). A maior parte das crianças possuía horários definidos para realizar as refeições (82,6%), porém mais da metade consumia alimentos entre as refeições (53%). As refeições principais, tais como almoço (83,0%) e jantar (80,1%), eram realizadas em companhia da família, sentados à mesa (83,4%) e compartilhando os mesmos alimentos (89,9%). Com relação as mudanças alimentares provocadas pela pandemia, 50,5% das famílias relataram não ter ocorrido mudança, porém, entre as famílias que relataram, 52,3% considera que foi para melhor. Ainda, a frequência das preparações caseiras aumentou em 65,8% das famílias, sendo o almoço (82,6%) e o jantar (78,1%) preparado entre 5-7 vezes por semana. Conclusão: as práticas de comensalidade estavam presentes no dia a dia da maioria das famílias, sendo pouco expressiva apenas a atenção ao alimento. No que tange a rotina alimentar, o distanciamento social provocado pela pandemia do COVID-19 parece ter gerado um impacto positivo.

The Effectiveness of an Integrated Law Enforcement Center (GAKKUMDU) Policy on Handling 2019 Election Criminal Violations in North Sulawesi
Authors: Liando Daud M.
Published: July 2023

In handling election criminal violations, the policies of the Election Law Enforcement Center or Gakumdu are regulated. Gakumdu consists of elements from Bawaslu, the prosecutor's office and the police. The aim of the establishment of Gakumdu is to encourage the election trial to take place quickly and accurately. This must be done because the election process is bound by a strict schedule and stages, so it is impossible for the election stages to be adjusted to the ordinary judicial process. This study aims to analyze whether the Sentra Gakkumdu Policy in North Sulawesi has had an impact on the effectiveness of election law enforcement in Indonesia. What are the obstacles to the Gakkumdu Sentra Policy in the electoral law enforcement process in Indonesia and what solutions can be made so that the role of the Gakkumdu Sentra Policy is more effective in enforcing election law. The results of the analysis concluded that the handling of alleged violations of election crimes by the Sentra Gakkumdu in the 2019 election in Sulawesi was not effective because there were provisions both in the election law and other regulations that hindered the work of the Sentra Gakkumdu. There are often differences in legal perceptions among members of the Gakkumdu in determining whether a request fulfills the element of a violation or not. Not all districts/cities have a Prosecutor's Office or a Police Office.

Published: July 2023

Tendo em vista que o leite é um alimento que possui uma alta facilidade para o desenvolvimento de microrganismos deteriorantes e que se multiplicam rapidamente, deixando essa matéria prima impossibilitada de ser usado nos processos produtivos, este trabalho objetiva investigar a aplicabilidade do método Kanban nos processos de refrigeração do leite cru. Com isso, foi realizada uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura a partir da busca de artigos científicos, publicados entre os anos de 1970 e 2021, nas bases de dados da SciELO, Scopus e Web of Science. Após um processo de triagem, foram selecionados nove estudos que objetivaram responder a seguinte pergunta questão: O método Kanban é capaz de auxiliar na garantia da qualidade do leite? Verificou-se que esse método tem diversas aplicações na indústria, visto que diminui o tempo de processos tornando o trabalho objetivo, entretanto, no processo de ordenha a refrigeração do leite não se encontrou nenhum ensaio relatado.  Porém, a partir das experiências em outros campos da indústria, alinhado a identificação de quais são os principais percussores da contaminação do leite, pode-se aplicar o método a fim de minimizar esse gargalo. Por fim, conclui-se que o intuito de usar o método Kanban nas atividades de ordenha e armazenamento do leite cru está em tornar mais ágil e eficiente os processos de manejo e movimentação do leite, pois isso já foi vivenciado em outros campos da indústria e, também, pode ajudar os produtores de leite.
Analysis on Code Switching Manifested by Filipino High School Teachers
Authors: Villanueva Louie , Bert Gamiao
Published: July 2023

The Philippines as an archipelago is a multilingual community, thus, analyzing discourses are advantageous to its scholars. Hence, the researchers extracted the respondents’ discourses in their online classes and investigated the types and patterns of code switching occurences among 9 teachers through qualitative and quantitative analyses. They adapted the typology by Poplack (1980) and Myers-Scotton (1989). Poplack classified code switching into tag, intersentential, and intrasentential but later, Myers-Scotton added intraword. In the analysis of patterns, the researchers considered Muysken’s (2000) code switching patterns namely insertion, alternation and congruent lexicalization. However, due to limitations of these patterns, only insertion is utilized, and the researchers modified it to fit the context of this study. These are Ilokolish, Taglish and Ilocotaglish – all are forms of insertion with alternate use of languages.
Intrasentential code switching has the highest number of occurrence (471) among the utterances of instructors in the classroom followed by intersentential (122), tag (45) and intraword (24). As to patterns, Taglish (346) occurs most frequently among the mixed code utterances of teachers in the classroom followed by Ilocolish (186) and Ilocotaglish (57). It is therefore concluded that switching of codes with different patterns and types happen in Philippine high school classes not only by students but even by teachers. Using code switching in high school classes is found to be beneficial to both teachers and students. Thus, this paper could help teachers regardless of their subject area determine the proper context of switching. Their understanding of students’ discourses could guide them in designing their lessons toward a more effective classroom interaction which lead to quality education.

Regulación metabólica de anoikis e implicaciones en la metástasis del melanoma
Authors:   , Lasheras Otero Irene
Published: July 2023

Circulating tumor cells are the key link between a primary tumor and distant metastases, but once in the bloodstream, loss of adhesion induces cell death known as anoikis. In order to identify the mechanisms relevant for melanoma circulating tumor cell survival, we performed RNA sequencing and discovered that detached melanoma cells and isolated melanoma circulating tumor cells rewire lipid metabolism by upregulating faay acid (FA) transport and FA beta- oxidation related genes. In melanoma patients, high expression of FA transporters and FA beta-oxidation enzymes significantly correlates with reduced progression-free and overall survival. Among the highest expressed regulators in melanoma circulating tumor cells were the carnitine transferases carnitine O-octanoyltransferase and carnitine acetyltransferase, which control the shuttle of peroxisome-derived medium chain FAs toward mitochondria to fuel mitochondrial FA beta-oxidation. Knock down of carnitine O-octanoyltransferase or carnitine acetyltransferase and short-term treatment with peroxisomal or mitochondrial FA beta-oxidation inhibitors thioridazine or ranolazine suppressed melanoma metastasis in mice. Carnitine O-octanoyltransferase and carnitine acetyltransferase depletion could be rescued by medium chain FA supplementation, indicating that the peroxisomal supply of FAs is crucial for the survival of non-adherent melanoma cells. Besides, using CRISPR-cas9 technology we identified the mitochondrial electron transport chain and cholesterol metabolism as possible mediators of anoikis resistance in melanoma. Our study highlights the great importance of metabolic rewiring in the metastatic process, identifying for the first time peroxisomal FA oxidation as a potential therapeutic target to challenge melanoma progression. Moreover, we propose to exploit the interaction between peroxisomes and mitochondria based on FA catabolism as a possible therapeutic opportunity thanks to the discovery of the antimetastatic activity of the drugs thiorizadine and ranolazine. These drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); therefore, our results have great translational potential.

Authors: Khan Niazi Auon Shabbir , Khan Niazi Muhammad Uzair , Zainab Irta , Mumtaz Hassan , Zahra Midhat , Anwer Adnan
Published: July 2023

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings and Arthroscopy in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, using Arthroscopy as the gold standard.
Methodology: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from February to August 2019. Clinical evidence of ACL injury was present in 127 individuals. They had an MRI as well as an arthroscopy. The diagnostic efficacy of MRI for ACL tears was evaluated, and its sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were all calculated.
Comparisons between arthroscopic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings yielded three classifications: True Positive (MRI verified by Arthroscopy), True Negative (both MRI and Arthroscopy negative for ACL injury), and False Positive/False Negative (differences between MRI and Arthroscopy). The arthroscopic inspection and MRI findings were entered into SPSS 23 software for tabulation and analysis. When necessary, both descriptive and inferential statistics were used.
Results: The study of statistics Arthroscopy was performed on 127 patients, either for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. A correlation was found when all the data was analyzed and tabulated. The majority of the patients were males (85.8%) in the second and third decades of life. The sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, and accuracy of MRI in diagnosing ACL injuries were 89.89%, 64.28%, 64.28%, 89.89%, and 84.25%, respectively.
Conclusion: MRI is an accurate and non-invasive modality for assessing ACL tears, showing good accuracy and high sensitivity. However, Arthroscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosing ACL injuries.
POVEZIVANJE PRAKSE I VISOKOG OBRAZOVANJA NA UNIVERZITETU U SARAJEVU: PRAVNI OKVIR, IZAZOVI I PERSPEKTIVE / LINKING PRACTICE AND HIGHER EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO: LEGAL FRAMEWORK, CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Lazić Vesna , Selman Lamija
Published: July 2023

The focus of this paper is the representation of professional practice at the University of Sarajevo, its legal framework, challenges, and perspectives. Our higher education system has a well-established theoretical framework but no satisfactory professional practice that accompanies it. Although professional practice is envisaged as the application of acquired theoretical knowledge in a broader social context, for the general benefit of society, it is not sufficiently recognized or appropriately valued. Therefore, this paper examines the possibilities of increasing the scope and the level of practice, applying the acquired knowledge with the support of recruited experts and lecturers from the practice, and raising the criteria for evaluating students' practical knowledge. Considering the specificity of scientific research in legal science, the methods of scientific cognition are also specific. Normative and comparative methods will be applied in this paper. The intention of the authors is to provide a detailed analysis of the cooperation agreement between the University of Sarajevo and competent institutions in the field of employment and economy in order to create preconditions for the implementation of practical training in legal entities in the public and private sector and to identify possible solutions in adapting the learning outcomes to market needs.
ALGORITAMSKA INTERMEDIJACIJA I REMODELIRANJE VRIJEDNOSTI ODLUČIVANJA U SISTEMU VISOKOG OBRAZOVANJA / ALGORITHMIC INTERMEDIATION AND REMODELING OF DECISION-MAKING VALUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM
Authors: Muhić Haris , Huskić Sanel , Hibert Mario
Published: July 2023

The paper investigates the effects of digitalization on teaching and educational processes and the possible negative effects that these processes have. For the Sarajevo Canton and the rest of Bosnia and Herzegovina, digitalization in education has already begun and it is important to fully understand the potential threats it poses. Decision-making processes were a human competence where different programs were used only as a tool to aid the process of reaching the best decisions. Today, algorithms are decision-makers where humans perform tasks of justifying algorithm’s decisions and preventing the upheaval caused by the increasing social inequality caused by algorithmicizing. The main argument is that of higher education without understanding of the underlining algorithmicizing of its processes could consequently lead to social inequality and wrong decisions. On the other hand, the lack of awareness of accelerated digitization can lead to lagging behind in digitization processes and loss of competitiveness in an increasingly global university market. This paper explains algorithmic intermediation and remodeling of decision-making values and points out threats and needs in the higher education. It should serve educational institutions and policy makers as a guideline in the adoption of future strategies on digitization processes in higher education as well as provide the base for future discussions focusing on Global Digitization Trends within the Bosnian and Herzegovinian higher education area and its policies, laws, and strategies with a recommendation for the Digitization Action Plan in higher education in Canton Sarajevo.

Una cartografía de las memorias en el Mapa Colaborativo del Exilio Español en México: nuevas narrativas y desafíos conceptuales.
Authors: Moya López Laura Angélica
Published: July 2023

Las conmemoraciones de los 75 y 80 aniversarios del exilio español en México hacen posible nuevas narrativas y representaciones del tiempo en el espacio, mediante la plataforma Mapa colaborativo del exilio español en México (2014-2019). Este artículo analiza la identificación de dos rutas conceptuales posibles, cuyas fronteras se desdibujan y dan cuenta de fenómenos nuevos en el registro del recuerdo del exilio: (1) la conceptuación de la representación cartográfica del territorio y (2) la categoría de rizoma. Entre ambas fronteras de definición está la categoría de paisaje invisible, la cual expresa la condición espacio temporal evanescente de los recuerdos del exilio. La segunda se refiere al desdibujamiento entre la memoria cultural y la memoria comunicada, para hacer de la posmemoria un fenómeno emergente en la representación del exilio.
Effect of Diclofenac Sodium in Developing Chick Embryo, Gallus Gallus domesticus (Linn, 1758)
Authors: Terdalkar Samir
Published: July 2023

Diclofenac sodium, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory  drug (NSAID) is an acetic acid derivative with generic  name Diclofenac. NSAIDs represent some of the oldest  medicines with recorded history of use of people.  However, it is also known to inhibit implantation and  embryonic development in rats and mammals. It is  widely prescribed in India to women of child bearing  age for the treatment of various conditions including  arthritis, masculo-skeletal pain etc. Research has shown  that it also crosses human placenta readily and  potentially teratogenic. The present study focuses on  assessing the embryonic development in chick under  varied dosages of diclofenac sodium at different  developmental stages. The results showed teratogenic  effects such as omphlaocoele, reduced body size, delay  in hatchability and angiogenesis with irregular  heartbeats.
Study of the Influence of the Inclusion of Additives in the Food of Kаrakol Sheep on the Composition of Blood Plasma Proteins and Amino Acids
Authors: Bazarov B M
Published: July 2023

The productivity of natural pastures, which are the main  source of food for Karakol sheep, and the botanical and  chemical composition of food undergo serious changes under  the influence of climatic and seasonal factors. The productivity  of pastures undergoes significant changes in years with  favorable, moderately favorable and unfavorable climatic  conditions, respectively. In accordance with the seasons, the  consumption of food by cold animals, the supply of nutrients  to their body varies significantly. Due to the insufficient  supply of nutrients to the animal's body in the autumn-winter  and early spring months, wool productivity and live weight  decrease, as well as the deterioration of reproduction  characteristics are observed. When the Karakol deer are fed  with natural plants without additional nutrients throughout  the year, the digestive processes in the large stomach undergo  serious changes depending on the seasons or the physical  conditions of the food consumed. The amount of food  consumed by the karakol in the natural pasture feed, the  digestibility coefficient of the nutrients in their content  changed according to the level of nutrition and the amount of  nutrients in the ration according to the seasons of the year. The  coefficient of digestibility of nutrients, depending on the  physical state of nutrients, was observed to be high in spring  and summer and lowest in autumn and winter. The addition  of additional nutrients to replace the missing nutrients in the  feed ration of sheep allows increasing the digestibility of the  nutritional components of the ration.
Bioassay of Larvicidal Efficacy of Selected Plant Extracts Against Mosquito Larvae Anopheles Culicifacies and Aedes Aegypti L.
Authors: Dutta Uma , Dey Sonali
Published: July 2023

Mosquitoes act as a vector and are the most significant  nuisance for spreading many diseases, viz. malaria,  dengue and filariasis encephalitis. The extensive use of  chemical insecticides to control these vector-borne  diseases causes adverse environmental impacts, pest  resurgence, vertebrate toxicity, and physiological  resistance to vectors. The present research work was  undertaken to study the efficacy of ethanolic extracts of  commonly available plants, viz. Paederia foetida, Murraya  koenigii, Zingiber officinale and Allium sativum against the  larvae of the mosquitos, Aedes aegypti and Anopheles  culicifacies at different sub-lethal concentrations (50 mg,  100 mg, 150 mg per 100 ml of water) for 1 hour, 10  hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and one week of  exposure. The study was based on the behavioural  changes, mortality rate and larval development  following standard technique. The phytochemical  screening for these plants was carried out following  standard methods. The investigation results showed  abnormal changes in the behaviour, such as hyperactive  wriggling movement in the initial period. In contrast,  sluggish and motionless movements were also observed  in the later days of exposure associated with an upward  mouth posture on the water surface indicative of the  moribund condition. The impairment of the larval  development and attainment of fly size was also noted  in that they respond variedly to the different plant  extracts in a dose and time-dependent manner. The  mortality rates in these two mosquito larvae with  respect to these plant extracts have also recorded an  increasing trend, i.e., A. sativum> P. foetida> Z. officinale>  M. koenigii.

Preventive Role of Methanolic Extract of Ocimum sanctum L., Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze and Their Combined Formulation against Sublethal Concentration of Sodium Fluoride Exposed to Channa punctatus (Bloch.)
Authors: Dutta Uma , Kalita Trishna , Parsha Hazarika Shahdukht
Published: July 2023

In the recent years, Fluoride has emerged as one of the  most harmful pollutants in the world and its presence  has been shown to negatively impact the quality of  groundwater in many countries. According to World  Health Organization (WHO), when its concentration  exceeds 1.5 mg/L limit, it may cause threats to the  health. Exposure to high concentrations of fluoride has  been known to have deleterious effects on the biological  system of human as well as other animals. Based on this  background, a study has been conducted to show the  effects of sodium fluoride induced toxicity in the  freshwater fish Channa punctatus (Bloch.). The fishes  were exposed to sublethal doses of 25 ppm and 50 ppm  of sodium fluoride for a period of 3 and 7 days. The  damaging effects of sodium fluoride were manifested in  the morphological, behavioural, haematological,  biochemical and histological parameters of the fishes.  The fishes were then further exposed to 100 mg/L of  methanolic leaf extracts of tulsi, tea and a combined  formulation of the two extracts to investigate the  ameliorative properties in the revival of fluoride toxicity  in the fishes. However, the results showed that the  impact of toxicity caused by exposure to 25 ppm was  much less pronounced as compared to 50 ppm of  sodium fluoride. These effects were revealed to be  effectively reduced by the addition of the plant extracts.  Both the selected plant extracts showed positive results.  However, their combined formula revealed the highest  level of effectiveness in the remedial activity of fluoride  induced toxicity.
Beyond Electroculture: Modeling Possible Effect of Low Intensity Laser Pen to Improve Plant Growth
Authors: Christianto Victor
Published: July 2023

It is known that in many regions in this earth, there are growing concerns on rice and  other crops supply stability, while the water supply for irrigation has become more  scarce. Part of the problem is that farm lands have been reallocated to other purposes,  including housing etc, and other reasons include the technology on farming was quite  in stagnation for years. In this regard, studies have shown beneficial effects of laser  technology to boost plant growth and especially during seed formation. In this small  experiment, we take a look at modeling of such low intensity laser pen interacting with  plant leaf, and then we tried to look at how low intensity laser pen actually can improve  leaf textures, etc. Not necessarily increased leaf area is the only concern, as quality of  leaf shall be more visible after low intensity laser pen treatment. It is our hope that this  experiment can be useful in one or other ways especially in the spirit of Masanobu  Fukuoka, the father of natural farming.

Published: July 2023

Removal of dyes from water bodies is a significant concern throughout the world. In this study, Bi2MoO6 microspheres were synthesized by a hydrothermal synthetic route at 180°C, and it is effectively  characterized by various techniques. The XRD peaks confirmed the orthorhombic planes of Bi2MoO6. The  microsphere-like morphology was revealed by FESEM and HRTEM. The optical band gap was  investigated by UV-vis DRS and showed a reflection edge with corresponding energy at 2.68 eV. The  photocatalytic activity of the Bi2MoO6 microsphere is tested against the degradation of rhodamine B  under natural sunlight irradiation. About 90% degradation of rhodamine B is observed in 90 min with the  photocatalytic degradation rate of 0.038min-1. Results confirmed that the Bi2MoO6microspherecould  facilitate 90% degradation of RhB dye and followed the first-order kinetic model.

Published: July 2023

This report focuses on the exceptional trait of using perovskite halide sensing method in relation to  sensing of heavy metal ions. Metal halide perovskite (MHP), which exhibits excellent sensing properties,  is now considered as an efficient sensing material. We first describe the sensing of metal halides  perovskites in metal halide. Next, performance improvement strategies focused on tuning of sensing  properties for sensing metal ions. A new two-dimensional (2D) lead perovskite, B2An-1PbnX3n+1, exhibits  impressive water resistance when in contact with water while retaining the real crystal arrangement and  ocular characteristics. B2An-1PbnX3n+1. B2An-1PbnX3n+1 composites were synthesized and investigated for  sensing. The results show an impressive increase in concentration in the composite and similar  improvements in metal halide. Recent results in providing new watertight perovskite leads to secure,  effective, and practical utilization of metal halide perovskite in sensing. In this project, we have  synthesized compound B2An-1PbnX3n+1 (S1) and prepared perovskite films using a drop casting method.  Then, we have performed sensing studies using heavy metal ions such as Cd2+, Ba2+ & Zn2+ using UV Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic techniques. From UV-Vis experiments, we have found that our  synthesized receptor has sensed Cd2+ & Zn2+ but the receptor could not sense Ba2+. We have also  performed thin film colorimetric sensing experiment.

In today’s digital era, the demand for digital medical images is rapidly increasing. Hospitals are transitioning to filmless imaging systems, emphasizing the need for efficient storage and seamless transmission of medical images. To meet these requirements, medical image compression becomes essential. However, medical image compression typically necessitates lossless compression techniques to preserve the diagnostic quality and integrity of the images. There are several challenges associated with medical image compression and management. Firstly, medical image management and image data mining involve organizing and accessing large volumes of medical images efficiently for clinical and research purposes. Secondly, bioimaging, which encompasses various imaging modalities like microscopy and molecular imaging, presents specific requirements and challenges for compression algorithms. Thirdly, virtual reality technologies are increasingly utilized in medical visualizations, demanding efficient compression methods to handle the high resolution and immersive nature of VR medical imaging data. Lastly, neuro imaging deals with complex brain imaging data, requiring specialized compression techniques tailored to the unique characteristics of these images. As the amount of medical image data continues to grow, image processing and visualization algorithms have to be adapted to handle the increased workload. Researchers and developers have been working on various compression algorithms to address these challenges and optimize medical image compression. This review paper compares different compression algorithms that would provide valuable insights into the strengths, limitations, and performance metrics of various techniques. It would assist researchers, clinicians, and imaging professionals in selecting the most suitable compression algorithm for their specific needs, considering factors such as compression ratio, computational complexity, and image quality preservation. By comprehensively comparing compression algorithms, this review paper contributes to advancing the field of medical image compression, facilitating efficient image storage, transmission, and analysis in healthcare settings.

En la planificación de una ciudad es de gran importancia llevar un control del crecimiento y densificación de la mancha urbana, así como de los usos vigentes y los adoptados por la población. Para lograr una planificación eficiente, es importante contar con un Modelo Digital de Superficies (MDS) que se ajuste de la mejor manera posible a la realidad. En Argentina, el registro público de datos relativos a una propiedad inmueble, conocido como catastro, constituye la in-formación geográfica de referencia fundamental para un gran número de aplicaciones y sistemas de gestión de información geográfica. En la actualidad se registra la parcela en planta, es decir en 2D. Las diferentes técnicas que las nuevas tecnologías proveen, hacen pensar que es posible en un futuro próximo contar con un Catastro 3D. Por ello, en este trabajo se analiza cómo mejorar la exactitud en el valor de la altura de MDS generados a partir de imágenes toma-das con vehículos aéreos no tripulados (VANT), utilizando puntos de apoyo fotogramétrico (PAF) en terreno y sobre las edificaciones. Las discrepancias en altura encontradas sobre puntos de control en los MDS generados con diferentes números de PAF sobre edificaciones, son inferiores, tanto a nivel terreno como a nivel edificaciones.
Evolution of Priorities in Scientific English for Geology Students
Authors: De León Elías
Published: July 2023

The current work represents the first longitudinal research portraying the students' shift in ESP topics preferences for Scientific English for Geology. The study comprises the statistical analysis from two extemporary cohorts—student generations—4 years apart. Convenience sampling was applied on both occasions (the entire population at the time of the study), and an Independent Student-T test was used to test the change hypothesis. The results reflect that the latter cohort (the most recent generation) has more interest in learning Scientific English than the previous generation.

Method: his is exploratory research with a deductive approach. The first step was the revision of the taxonomies, with the 12 researchers, who met weekly, for conceptual and epistemological discussions related to Open Science and methodological and procedural definitions for the realization of the study. Results: as a result of the analyses, a taxonomy was developed to be evaluated by the experts. For this, a questionnaire with open questions about each main axis of the taxonomy was sent to 68 specialists. We obtained 21 answers that cooperated with the modeling and exposition of the terms of the new taxonomy proposal. The new taxonomy has 10 main level facets and a total of 96 labels. Conclusions: the perception of the experts brought to light a panorama congruent with Unesco recommendations and the current scenario of Open Science.

Authors: Marestone Adrielly Rocateli , Franco Sandra Aparecida Pires
Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa objetiva apresentar a contribuição da leitura literária para a formação de leitores, voltada para a prática da Hora do Conto, alicerçados no Materialismo Histórico-Dialético e na Teoria Histórico-Cultural. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo bibliográfico sobre leitura literária e Hora do Conto, com levantamento do estado da arte utilizando-se de descritores. É necessário que o professor acredite que a literatura infantil está presente na escola para ir além da informação, que forneça condições para que seu aluno se interesse pela leitura literária, que consiga selecionar as leituras que mais lhe agrade, que o professor crie a necessidade pela leitura nesse leitor iniciante, que tenha claro que ler é bom, e que não é preciso atribuir tarefas monótonas após essa leitura. Na seleção dos trabalhos selecionados percebemos que a Hora do Conto se mantém como um momento de promoção de cultura, pois durante a sua realização não há preocupação com atividades em papéis, com leitura para pretexto, mas sim como leitura deleite, pois sabe que estão aprendendo pelo ato de ler, de ouvir e imaginar.

Differentiated learning is a process or philosophy for effective teaching by providing a variety of ways to understand new information for all students in their diverse classroom community, including ways to: acquire content; processing, building, or reasoning ideas; and developing learning products and assessment measures so that all students in a classroom of diverse abilities can learn effectively. This study aims to provide information about differentiated learning and its implementation in the midst of diversity with the heterogeneity of students' backgrounds which is a challenge in learning. Differentiated learning is a separate innovation in learning because differentiated learning is learning that accommodates all differences in students, is open to all and provides the needs needed by each individual. This research is a research that uses historical research/documentary study methods with data sources found using techniques to find information about the topic. The research results show that each student has different characteristics, not all students can be given the same treatment so that differentiation learning tends to be more suitable to be implemented.

Women and trauma: The impact of Boko Haram insurgency in Michika Adamawa state, Nigeria
Authors: Vandi Roseline Luka
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to find out the impact of the Boko Haran Insurgency on women survivors in Michika Adamawa state, Nigeria. Boko Haram insurgency has caused heaps of havoc and negative impacts on Nigerian societies, and most especially in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa state, many lives were lost, and properties were destroyed. The insurgents left many survivors with scars on their minds and traumatised. Many women have become widows. They were sexually abused, raped, oppressed, displaced, forced into marriage, and forced to accept other religions; some even witnessed the assassinations of their husbands and were traumatised. This paper adopts both narrative and library sources through the use of interviews and focus Group Discussions. This study has investigated and observed the severe impact of Boko Haram activity's negative effects on women. The study hypothesises that holistic trauma counselling is an effective therapy that will cure the soul and provide relief to the mind of the traumatised. The study finds out that many women have experienced different forms of trauma. The study concludes that many women and girls in our culture may appear to be fine on the surface. Still, they silently suffer from melancholy, tension, and hopelessness due to their encounters with terrorists. Pastoral caregivers should work with therapists from diverse areas to establish a strong trauma healing team capable of dealing with all trauma cases. This paper recommends that religious leaders have a greater role than anyone else in providing comfort, recovery, empowerment, and fairness for the survivors.

Introduction:  Psychological distress was experienced by millions of people affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, particularly adolescents with diabetes. Method:  A cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents with type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) aged 10-18 years during the nationwide lockdown from June-December 2020 in Malaysia to assess the impact of COVID-19 towards their mental health.  Eighty-seven participants were recruited and interviewed regarding their lifestyle changes, followed by the administration of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results:   Fifty-eight patients with T1DM (30 males, 51.7%) and 29 patients with T2DM (9 males, 31%) participated in the study.  The incidence of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms were detected in 34%, 41% and 26% respectively of diabetic adolescents with no significant difference between T1DM and T2DM patients. Male gender, T2DM, puberty and the presence of anxiety symptoms were associated with deterioration in glycaemic control post-lockdown.  There was a deterioration in HbA1c among male and T2DM patients by 0.76% and 0.94% respectively (p-value 0.013, 0.004 respectively). An increment of HbA1c pre- and post-lockdown was observed in patients with anxiety symptoms (9.39 ± 0.49 vs 10.16 ± 0.54%, p-value 0.028).  Patients who displayed stress symptoms showed improvement in their HbA1c (10.00 ± 0.57% vs 9.50 ± 0.063%, p-value 0.036). Conclusion:  There is a high prevalence of psychological disturbance among diabetic adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the anxiety component related to poor glycaemic control.  Follow-up psychological assessment and support must be given to these young diabetic patients.
