Authors: Soundarya N , Jain Vijay Kumar , Shetty Shibani , Akshatha B K
Published: June 2021

Introduction:

Sex identification of skeletal remains is one of the prime factors employed in identification of an individual. Teeth, the most hard and stable human tissue, which is resistant to physical insults, serve as a valuable material for forensic, anthropological, odontologic and genetics. Among the four main attributes of biological identity, gender determination is usually the first step in the human identification process. Hence, the main objective of the present study was to assess the dimorphic status of mesiodistal (MD) width, labiolingual (LL) width as well as cervicoincisal (CI) length of the crown in both maxillary and mandibular permanent incisors, canines and first molars.

Materials and Methods:

The present study comprised a set of 100 casts (50 males and 50 females) between the age group of 20–50 years of age. Impressions were made using alginate impression and study models were prepared using dental stone. The CI length of the crown, maximum MD width and maximum LL width of both maxillary and mandibular permanent incisors, canines and first molars were evaluated using digital Vernier calipers. The obtained data were analyzed using linear discriminant analysis and logistic regression method.

Results:

This study concludes that MD dimension of maxillary canine and CI dimension of mandibular first molar as reliable indicators for gender determination than mandibular canine, maxillary and mandibular central incisors and maxillary first molar dimensions.

Conclusion:

This study concludes that MD dimension of maxillary canine and CI dimension of mandibular first molar as reliable indicators for gender determination than mandibular canine, maxillary and mandibular central incisors and maxillary first molar dimensions.
Peripheral adenomatoid odontogenic tumor of mandible - A synchronous presentation or a subtype?!
Authors: Nithya S , Saxena Susmita , Kharbanda Jitin
Published: June 2021

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) with its unique and varied presentations histologically and clinically has always been an enigma. AOTs are multifaceted in their appearance with reports pointing out to its occurrence as a synchronous tumor, a purely cystic variant or with multiple foci; however, the three commonly encountered forms are Follicular/Coronal, Extra Follicular/Extra Coronal and Peripheral variants. Here, we present a subtype of the Peripheral AOT (PAOT) seen synchronous with an intraosseous cystic variant of AOT in a 16-year-old female in the anterior mandible. This case is unique in that a PAOT occurring adjacent to a focally aggressive intraosseous cystic AOT (not associated with impacted tooth) could either be synchronous with no connection to the intraosseous component or could actually be an erupted intraosseous cystic variant with peripheral manifestation. Features of cortical expansion, perforation and displacement of teeth without resorption were seen. Histologically, all the classical features of AOT along with abundant eosinophilic amorphous fibrinous deposits, cellular vacuolization, clearing of cells, dystrophic and reactive bone formation and a cystic lining were seen. Thus, this case of PAOT would add to the myriad presentation of AOT making it one of the most often discussed odontogenic tumor.

Published: June 2021

Introduction:

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a major worldwide health problem characterized by progressive immunosuppression. The morbidity of HIV patients is due to its association with opportunistic infections among which oral candidiasis is common. Regardless of HIV status, candidiasis can prevail when their immune system is depressed. Oral candidiasis can thus serve as a useful marker for both restoration of immune functions and HIV disease progression. Routine identification of Candida species is laborious and time-consuming. HICHROM agar stains different species into different colors facilitating rapid reliable identification of candida species as they differ in their virulence and sensitivity to antifungal drugs.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study includes a total of 200 HIV seropositive patients from Anti-Retroviral Therapy Centre, West Godavari District. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected in a screw-capped universal container. Five microliters of each sample using a sterile inoculating loop is streaked on the chromogenic agar culture media. The colonies formed are counted using a magnifying glass and LAPIZ colony counter. Candidal colony-forming units per milliliter were analyzed, compared and correlated among different study groups. Different candida species were also identified in the study.

Results:

Nonalbicans Candida was the most common species isolated in our study accounting for 53% and Candida albicans accounting for 47%. Considering initial and final CD4 counts, there is improvement in patients on retroviral therapy.

Conclusion:

Identification of the species is important for epidemiological reasons and for treatment purposes to ensure a better prognosis since some species present reduced susceptibility to azoles.

Aplastic anemia is a rare, usually autoimmune disorder of bone marrow stem cells leading to pancytopenia and hypoplastic marrow that presents with anemia, infection or bleeding which can be potentially sight and life-threatening. Patients with aplastic anemia may present with various ocular manifestations; lid and orbital hematoma, sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, sudden visual loss due to vitreous hemorrhage or retinopathy and optic disc edema. A young male patient had symptomatic sever bilateral hemorrhagic retinopathy secondary to aplastic anemia; succeeding systemic allogenic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation showed almost complete spontaneous resolution of the retinopathy and significant improvement in vision over a period of 16 weeks.
Iris reconstruction
Authors: Crawford Alexandra , Freundlich Simone , Zhang Jie , McGhee Charles Ninian John
Published: June 2021

The surgical reconstruction of eyes with iris defects is almost invariably complex and challenging. A number of prosthetic iris devices are available including large-incision, rigid diaphragm, aniridic intraocular lens style devices, small-incision devices incorporating a capsular ring, and flexible, customized, small-incision iris prostheses. The surgical techniques for rehabilitation are dictated by the configuration of the iris defect, the presence of concurrent ocular pathology, and the functional complaint of the patient. Successful rehabilitation requires careful surgical planning and appropriate patient selection. Nonetheless, endowed with the modern surgical armamentarium, the reconstructive surgeon may achieve significant functional and cosmetic improvement.
Pathogenic bacteria and their antibiotic sensitivity in ophthalmia neonatorum
Authors: Suhas Prabhakar , Vishnu S. , Muthayya M.
Published: June 2021

CONTEXT:

Emergence of coagulase-negative staphylococci as pathogens in ophthalmia neonatorum.

AIMS:

To analyze the bacteriological spectrum of ophthalmia neonatorum and its associated risk factors.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN:

Retrospective analysis in a tertiary care hospital in India.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:

A retrospective review was performed in a tertiary care center in India on 139 neonates presenting with conjunctivitis over a period of 3 years. All the neonates presenting to the out-patient department, those admitted in the Neonatal Intensive care Unit and in-patient wards were included in our study. The neonates were clinically examined and followed-up by a single experienced ophthalmologist. Details including demographic data, age of the infant, type of delivery, investigations, and treatment outcomes were analyzed.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED:

Frequency calculation using Microsoft Excel for windows 10.

RESULTS:

In the 92 samples with growth (66.2%), the most common organisms isolated were coagulase-negative Staphylococci (35.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.3%), and Acinetobacter species (16.3%). Others were Staphylococcus aureus (14.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.7%), and Escherichia coli (8.7%). Ophthalmia neonatorum was significantly higher in preterm infants born out of lower-segment cesarean section and those requiring ventilatory support.

CONCLUSIONS:

Unlike gonococcus, which is implicated in ophthalmia neonatorum, our study shows varied microbiological spectrum and sensitivity patterns with coagulase-negative staphylococci as the key pathogen. The role of coagulase-negative staphylococci as a disease-causing pathogen becomes increasingly important with an imperative need for prudent use of common antibiotics in treating these pathogenic bacteria.

Authors: Dimitriou Eleni , Chatzirallis Alexandros , Katopodis Sokratis , Theodossiadis George , Theodossiadis Panagiotis , Chatziralli Irini
Published: June 2021

A 71-year-old woman presented with progressive, bilateral, blurred vision and nyctalopia for the last 6 months. Her past medical history included total hysterectomy and chemotherapy for ovarian cancer 4 years ago, without metastases. Optical coherence tomography revealed outer retinal layers' thinning bilaterally, while diffuse retinal pigment epithelium abnormalities were found in fundus autofluorescence. Full-field electroretinogram showed abnormalities in both a- and b-waves with significant reduction of retinal sensitivity, affecting however more the rod system. The patient was positive for alpha-enolase and was diagnosed with cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR), which developed 4-year primary cancer. Computerized tomography scan revealed an enlarged para-aortic lymph node at the left kidney, and the patient was started on chemotherapy, combined with immunosuppressive treatment. In conclusion, CAR should be suspected in patients experiencing unexplained visual disturbances, especially in the context of previous cancer.

Authors: Khan Ruhi A , Ahmed Anwar , Sapitan Anita , Maktabi Azza , Al-Subaie Sultan , Khandekar Rajiv
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) carriers among staff of a tertiary eye hospital in Saudi Arabia.

METHODS:

This retrospective study was conducted in 2019. Nasal and axillary swabs of health-care staff were used to determine carriers of MRSA. Bacteria were identified by culture and sensitivity tests. These isolates were grouped as antibiotic resistant, sensitive, and others not in the S. aureus group. Demographics and other determinants were associated with carrier status.

RESULTS:

We evaluated the carrier status of 430 staff. There were 110 (24.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 21.5, 29.7) S. aureus-positive staff, 21 (11.7%; 95% CI: 11.7, 26.4) of who carried the MRSA strain. Carrier status was significantly higher among physicians (31%) compared to nurses (22.5%) and other staff (5.7%) (P < 0.001). MRSA carrier status was significantly associated with >5 years of employment at the eye hospital (P = 0.02). MRSA was significantly associated with staff who were of Indian nationality (75%) compared to other nationalities (P = 0.04) and those who were at the hospital for <5-year stay compared more than 5 years at the hospital (P = 0.001). All carriers responded to decolonization treatment.

CONCLUSIONS:

The high prevalence of MRSA and relatively easy treat MRSA carriers points at the need for universal screening for MRSA carriers among eye health staff.

Authors: Kim J.Y. , Hwang D. , Jang M. , Rhee C.S. , Han D.H.
Published: June 2021

Selecting an appropriate allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) regimen for polysensitised allergic rhinitis (AR) patients is challenging for clinicians. Although previous studies showed comparable effectiveness of single-allergen AIT with house dust mite (HDM) extract between monosensitised and polysensitised AR patients, there is no systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrating the comparable effectiveness of HDM AIT. In this meta-analysis, we analysed nine studies to compare the clinical effectiveness of HDM AIT. The primary outcome was nasal symptom score and secondary outcomes were medication and quality of life scores. The changes in nasal symptom score after HDM AIT did not significantly differ between monosensitised and polysensitised patients. The clinical effectiveness of HDM AIT regarding medication and quality of life score was not significantly different between monosensitised and polysensitised patients). In conclusion, single-allergen AIT with HDM extract showed comparable clinical effectiveness between polysensitised and monosensitised patients with AR.

Authors: Toi Huynh Thanh , Hai Vu Hung , Hong Van Nguyen Thi
Published: June 2021

The carbon and artificial substrate integration was applied in mudskipper (Pseudapocryptes elongatus) culture to evaluate its effect on growth and enzyme activity. Wild mudskipper fries (6.9–7.3 cm; 3.88–4.12 g) were obtained in the coastal area of the Mekong delta. Fish were reared in 1 m3 fiber glass tanks containing 600 L of 15 ‰ seawater for 60 days in outdoor conditions. Mud was added to the tank bottom around 15 cm to simulate the culture condition as would be found in an earthen pond. Molasses (38% Carbon) was added daily to the culture water based on TAN level to balance C/N to 10. The results showed that the survival was in the range of 80.6–85%, and no significance in term of survival was found when comparing treatments. The individual weight of fish was 11.93–14.11 g/ind in range, fish in the culture where carbon and both carbon and substrate addition had significantly better growth and productivity than fish in the culture where molasses and substrates were not applied. The results of this study demonstrate that the growth performance and production of mudskipper significantly increased when the biofloc and substrate integration was applied.

Reports on tropical infections among kidney transplant (KT) recipients have increased in recent years, mainly because of the growing number of KT programs located in tropical and subtropical areas, and greater mobility or migration between different areas of the world. Endemic in emerging and developing regions, like most countries in Latin America, tropical infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. Tropical infections in KT recipients may exhibit different pathways for acquisition compared with those in nonrecipients, such as transmission through a graft and reactivation of a latent infection triggered by immunosuppression. Clinical presentation may differ compared with that in immunocompetent patients, and there are also particularities in diagnostic aspects, treatment, and prognosis. KT patients must be screened for latent infections and immunized properly. Last, drug–drug interactions between immunosuppressive agents and drugs used to treat tropical infections are an additional challenge in KT patients. In this review, we summarize the management of tropical infections in KT patients.

The risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and dengue coinfection is increased in tropical countries; however, the extrapulmonary clinical manifestations have not been fully characterized. We report a 42-year-old woman whose clinical manifestations began with fever, diarrhea, headache, chest pain, myalgia, odynophagia, and arthralgia. Despite mild respiratory symptoms and normal chest computed tomography scan results, she was diagnosed with real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Because she had erythema and petechiae with a decreased platelet count, the dengue NS1 antigen and anti-dengue IgM/IgG test were performed, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention RT-PCR assay detected the dengue virus serotype 1 infection. Additionally, increased liver enzyme serum levels were found in the patient, who later developed hepatomegaly. Hence, the mechanism of hepatic pathology associated with SARS-CoV-2 and dengue coinfection needs further research.
Free Market Availability of Rapid Diagnostics Will Empower Communities To Control Malaria in India
Authors: Rahi Manju , Sharma Amit
Published: June 2021

Globally, malaria incidence has declined but further reductions in malaria are not evident in many countries. In addition to the public health approaches for tackling malaria, involvement of the private sector is vital because the private sector plays a central role in healthcare delivery to the masses. In India, malaria management is primarily provided through government programs, nonetheless, significant numbers of fever patients continue to seek healthcare in the private sector. The private sector in India is comprised of formal healthcare (qualified and approved), informal healthcare (unqualified, untrained), including traditional healers. Commercial channels for the procurement of quality-assured malaria diagnostics like rapid diagnostic tests via pharmacies or other approved outlets would empower Indian populations to self-detect malaria without delay. Easier access would minimize the diagnostic time gap, reduce costs to the patient, prevent inappropriate malaria treatment, and foster timely treatment of both malaria and non-malaria infections. Commercially available rapid diagnostic tests in the hands of the people could be an important tool in our fight against malaria.
Equitable and Feasible Distribution of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines for All in Africa
Authors: Rogers Abu Bakarr , Barrie Mohamed Bailor , Fallah Mosoka P. , Kelly J. Daniel
Published: June 2021

As the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, the necessity for wide-scale, global vaccine rollout to reduce the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and slow its mutation rate remains unassailable. The COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) initiative’s campaign involves a proportional framework to finance and distribute SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in low- and middle-income countries. However, the COVAX framework has critical limitations, including limited funding and the failure to account for the special epidemic risks and needs of its participating nations, as recommended by the World Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization framework. These drawbacks disproportionately impact Africa, where many nations rely on COVAX as their main source of vaccines. The current plan to vaccinate only up to 20% of participating nations’ populations is short-sighted from both epidemiologic and moral perspectives. COVAX must commit to vaccinating all of Africa and its initiative must be modified to account for the health and economic infrastructures in these countries. Lessons learned from successful vaccination campaigns, including the West African Ebola outbreak, have shown that vaccinating all of Africa is possible and feasible, and that infrastructure and human resources can support mass vaccination. To halt this global pandemic, global responsibility must be accepted to finance and equitably distribute SARS-CoV-2 vaccines to African nations. We urge COVAX to act swiftly to prevent Africa from becoming the new face of a persisting pandemic.

There is a scarcity of data regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in children from southeast and south Asia. This study aims to identify risk factors for severe COVID-19 disease among children in the region. This is an observational study of children with COVID-19 infection in hospitals contributing data to the Pediatric Acute and Critical Care COVID-19 Registry of Asia. Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases were included in this registry. The primary outcome was severity of COVID-19 infection as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) (mild, moderate, severe, or critical). Epidemiology, clinical and laboratory features, and outcomes of children with COVID-19 are described. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors for severe/critical disease. A total of 260 COVID-19 cases from eight hospitals across seven countries (China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan) were included. The common clinical manifestations were similar across countries: fever (64%), cough (39%), and coryza (23%). Approximately 40% of children were asymptomatic, and overall mortality was 2.3%, with all deaths reported from India and Pakistan. Using the multivariable model, the infant age group, presence of comorbidities, and cough on presentation were associated with severe/critical COVID-19. This epidemiological study of pediatric COVID-19 infection demonstrated similar clinical presentations of COVID-19 in children across Asia. Risk factors for severe disease in children were age younger than 12 months, presence of comorbidities, and cough at presentation. Further studies are needed to determine whether differences in mortality are the result of genetic factors, cultural practices, or environmental exposures.
Ethical Issues in Global Supply Chains
Authors: Schlegelmilch Bodo B. , Öberseder Magdalena
Published: June 2021

Despite all technological advances, global supply chains are always based on the interaction of people. And wherever people interact, a kaleidoscope of ethical issues emerges. While consumer demands and concerns have undoubtedly led to an increased awareness of unethical conduct in the supply chain, contravening forces, such as the relentless pressures for low cost products and the ease by which consumers are purchasing non-deceptive counterfeits, should also not be ignored. Many retailers are now embracing ethical issues by emphasising, for example, that they take care of the production methods and working conditions pertaining to the goods they offer.
Structural Characterization of Thermally Stabilized Poly(acrylonitrile) Fibers by Means of X-ray Diffraction, FT-IR Spectroscopy, and TGA Analysis
Authors: DEMIREL TUBA , Rahman Md. Mahbubor , KARACAN Ismail
Published: June 2021

The structure and effects of thermally stabilized PAN original fibers were characterized utilizing a mixture of volume density, color change observations, flame tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements. The results obtained from the analysis of XRD work showed the conversion of the original molecular structure from a highly laterally ordered condition to a disordered amorphous structure. The experimental results acquired from FT-IR analysis indicated rapid and concurrent aromatization and dehydrogenation reactions assisted by the formation of oxygen-containing functional groups. TGA analysis showed a carbon yield of 72% at 1000 °C. The application and use of NH4Br pretreatment are expected to increase the productivity of carbon fiber processing at lowered cost by significantly reducing the processing time necessary for the successful completion of thermal stabilization reactions.

Published: June 2021

This study examines the influence of non-halal funds, zakat, and the number of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) on the reputation of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The sample is determined by the purposive sampling method and resulted in 7 banks or 35 observations from 2014 to 2018. The results showed that non-halal funds did not affect the reputation of Islamic banking. However, non-halal funds in the company's financial report notes show that Islamic banks, especially in Indonesia, have not fulfilled sharia regulations. The results also showed that zakat affects the reputation of Islamic banking. Zakat in Indonesia is greatly influenced by company size in terms of its assets. Zakat paid by Islamic banks in Indonesia is still low, and the gap for the welfare of the directors and employees of Islamic banks is a huge difference. Furthermore, this study indicated that the number of SSB affects the reputation of Islamic banking. Therefore, SSB has a significant role in compiling reports about sharia compliance. The ideal number of SSB is between 3 and 6 people.

Published: June 2021

This study analyzes the effect of audit market competition, client size, and financial distress on shopping opinions. The sample used in this study is a manufacturing company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2016 to 2017. The data used in the study were 76 data from the company's annual reports. The data analysis method used was binary logistic regression. This study indicates that audit market competition and client size do not affect shopping opinion practices. However, financial distress has a significant positive effect on the tendency to practice shopping opinion. This indicates that a company with an excellent financial condition chooses to change its auditor compared to the same auditor; this is done because financially, the company can change public accounting.

To meet the research objectives, conducted and processed data through literature studies and interviews. The study results found that most of the 96 percent NTSR came from services to the community in accordance with the duties and functions of the Resort Police. In general, the research object has fulfilled the budgeting process. However, it has not been carried out more carefully in terms of planning for NTSR revenue budget items. The realization of the NTSR target reaches 2,000 percent, considering that many revenue accounts are not budgeted. The study suggests that the study object should make a more detailed budget planning for each NTSR revenue budget item so that each item is more realistic so that it supports the use of NTSR funds to improve services according to budget as a planning controlling tool.

Fraude a los acreedores: la acción pauliana o revocatoria y la acción oblicua o subrogatoria
Authors:   Universidad Científica del Sur, Perú, Franciskovic Ingunza Beatriz
Published: June 2021

En el presente artículo se analiza la figura jurídica del fraude del acto jurídico. Si bien el ordenamiento jurídico civil peruano la denomina así, el término es incorrecto, pues no se produce en realidad un fraude o engaño contra el acto jurídico en sí mismo; lo que ocurre es un engaño directo, un acto de astucia o mal intencionado por parte del deudor y que se dirige contra el acreedor. El fraude al acreedor se presenta siempre y cuando exista un vínculo obligacional entre dos sujetos. Consiste en la conducta o comportamiento indebidos del deudor frente a su acreedor, cuando, con el fin de no cumplir con el pago de su crédito, disminuye su patrimonio, sea de manera onerosa o gratuita, u omite cobrar una deuda que tiene con otro deudor en otra relación jurídica obligatoria. Frente a esta situación, el ordenamiento jurídico le concede al acreedor, la acción pauliana o revocatoria y la acción oblicua o subrogatoria, entre otras.
El movimiento social del 15-M: A modo de presentación
Authors: Jurado Gilabert Francisco , Rasilla Sánchez Arjona Luis de la
Published: June 2021

En mayo de 2011 nace el Movimiento 15M, tras la multitudinaria manifestación convocada por la Plataforma Democracia Real Ya. Desde entonces hemos asistido al desarrollo de un nuevo tipo de reacción política y social, articulada desde la ciudadanía, transversal, apartidista y de carácter pacifista, con un avanzado uso y dominio de Internet y las redes sociales. El movimiento ha madurado, extendiéndose en formas asamblearias por plazas de todo el país, hasta convertirse en fenómeno mundial. La experiencia vivida en España, que unió la Primavera Árabe con la revolución anti-mercados islandesa, se ha convertido en un manual de «cómo hacer una revolución mundial» en lo que parece el ocaso del sistema neoliberal capitalista.
Dos hitos en el camino hacia una concepción democrática y humanista del Islam: Mohammed Arkoun y Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd
Authors: Cepedello Boiso José
Published: June 2021

En el presente texto, se muestran los datos biográficos más relevantes de la vida de los pensadores Mohammed Arkoun (1928- 2010) y Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (1943-2010), así como los aspectos esenciales de su moderna comprensión de la hermenéutica coránica, como elemento imprescindible para alcanzar una concepción democrática y humanista del Islam. Ambos autores coinciden en la necesidad de renovar las técnicas exegéticas de interpretación de los textos sagrados en el Islam (el Corán y la Sunna) como mecanismo teórico imprescindible para poder superar las concepciones cerradas y autoritarias que, durante siglos, fueron muy relevantes en los sistemas jurídicopolíticos de raíz islámica. En su opinión, la defensa de una lectura abierta de los textos sagrados es una tarea imprescindible que permitirá, por un lado, recuperar el carácter emancipador y humanista del mensaje islámico originario y, por otro, establecer un modelo jurídicopolítico más acorde con los valores democráticos de la modernidad.

Published: June 2021

A formação de professores exige medidas que integrem diferentes saberes, principalmente no complexo processo de iniciação à docência, que propõe a reunião de atividades diversas para os licenciandos. Assim, o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) destaca-se por contribuir efetivamente na elaboração e execução dessas atividades formativas. O presente trabalho relata a experiência decorrente do PIBID multidisciplinar de Biologia e Química, edital 2018/2020, da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB) esclarecendo todas as suas fases, nas quais diversos aspectos formativos foram contemplados por meio atividades de leitura, escrita, planejamento e ação. Com base em todos os aprendizados gerados, o PIBID se constitui como mecanismo edificador da formação docente, beneficiando todos os envolvidos na educação, e toda sociedade.
sul enquanto horizonte epistemológico
Authors: Caurio Michel Soares , Cassiani Suzani , Giraldi Patricia Montanari
Published: June 2021

Este trabalho integra uma pesquisa de doutorado e propõe reflexões sobre formas de produção e validação de conhecimentos da Ciência Moderna, considerando que ela está ancorada em uma dinâmica colonial pautada no racismo estrutural, no patriarcado e no capitalismo. Questionamos quais efeitos essas epistemologias produzem na educação em ciências e apontamos as implicações nesse campo de ensino e pesquisa. Indicamos as Epistemologias do Sul enquanto horizonte epistemológico e a Interculturalidade Crítica como possibilidade para anunciar um ensino de ciências decolonial, pautando a horizontalidade de conhecimentos a partir de posturas contrárias as injustiças sociais. Por fim, destacamos a urgência do diálogo entre a Ciência e as periferias, em virtude de discursos anticientíficos fortalecidos a partir de grupos de grande poder político.
Avaliação de simulações interativas em ciências da Plataforma on-line “Phet” por meio de parâmetros de avaliação e de oficinas com futuros docentes
Authors: Cravo Andreia Regina , Espartosa Karina Dias
Published: June 2021

Para superar as dificuldades vivenciadas pelos professores ao explicar assuntos abstratos de ciências e de biologia, despertando o interesse do estudante, é possível recorrer às Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação e aos Objetos de Aprendizagem. Objetivando avaliar o desempenho de três simulações interativas em ciências, da plataforma on-line PhET, este trabalho utilizou-se de protocolos de avaliação e desenvolveu oficinas com futuros docentes. Nos resultados são apresentados os desafios e as potencialidades dessas simulações, constatadas nas avaliações e nas oficinas.  Avaliou-se que a ferramenta se apresenta como uma boa estratégia didática de ensino e contribui positivamente no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Ainda que as simulações demonstrem alguns parâmetros deficientes, verificou-se que o professor pode contorná-los atuando como mediador.
Identidades de género en la enseñanza de la biología: entre la violencia objetificadora de la cisnormatividad y los saberes trans-gresores en sala de aula
Authors: Orozco Marín Yonier Alexander
Published: June 2021

El objetivo del trabajo fue caracterizar tensiones entre la violencia objetificadora de la cisnormatividad y saberes transgresores, movilizadas durante el desarrollo de una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza del sistema endocrino, por medio del análisis de los debates alrededor de “identidad de género” en los deportes de alto rendimiento, con estudiantes del grado octavo de la educación básica. Por medio del uso de la autobiografía como registro de la acción política del sujeto investigador/profesor, el trabajo permite reconocer que propuestas didácticas de apariencia progresista/transgresora no están exentas de reforzar violencias en la enseñanza de la biología, y que problematizar la cisnormatividad como estructura de opresión que produce y legitima la transfobia es una tarea importante para el campo.

Authors: Almeida Neto Joel , Fernandez Thais Almeida Cardoso
Published: June 2021

A temática LGBT+ pode ser considerada um tema difícil de ser abordado, porém se faz-presente na realidade escolar. Diante disso, foi realizado um estudo de caso para compreender como os professores de Ciências abordam tal temática em sua prática. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os docentes da área de Ciências em uma escola estadual de Ensino Fundamental de Viçosa-MG. Buscou-se discutir as possíveis abordagens para o ensino de orientação sexual, bem como as teorizações de Louro sobre sexualidade na escola. Foi constatada uma carência na formação docente sobre o assunto, por consequência há uma limitação em sua atuação, além de uma sobrecarga desses profissionais para se trabalhar o tema no ambiente escolar.
Fiqh of the Future Prophetic Messages, Question of Importance and Method
Authors: Sedra Saad Mohamed
Published: June 2021

The Sunnah of the Prophet has guided us in many of its texts to the importance of looking to the future. It remains for us the duty to better understand these messages, and to make them practicable. This is then the purpose of this research, to clarify and present its methodology where two important questions are asked: 1: Concerns the importance of this type of Fiqh? 2: Concerning the method that frames the operation of understanding these Hadiths of the Prophet on the future of the Islamic community. In this research, I have taken an analytical and compositional approach to explain the prophetic purpose of these stories and how best to understand them. Thus, the purpose of this topic is to build clear visions on the obstacles that the Muslims will face in the future, in order to encourage and help them to better prepare themselves for what will face them, so the Muslim community will be prepared to better introduce itself in the future.
