Published: November 2024

This study aims to (1) explore the influence of work-family conflict on middle school teachers’ happiness and (2) investigate whether the implementation of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) affects middle school teachers’ happiness. A quantitative research approach with a sample size of 242 teachers from public and private middle schools in Yunnan province, China, was used, as determined by the Krejcie and Morgan’s (1970) table. The research instruments were two questionnaires: (1) The Work-Family Conflict Scale and (2) the Employee Assistance Program Scale. The results presented that (1) the influence of work-family conflict on middle school teachers’ happiness was mean=3.41 and S.D.=1.13. It was the rating of “moderate,” (2) implementation of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) had a moderating effect on middle school teachers’ happiness was at the level of mean =3.20 and S.D.=1.10. It was the rating of “moderate” that work-family conflict significantly impacts middle school teachers’ happiness, and employee assistance programs significantly moderate middle school teachers’ happiness. However, this study’s limitations arise from its focus on middle school teachers and the lack of extensive analysis of various EAP dimensions and work-family conflict aspects. Additionally, the findings may not apply to teachers in other educational stages, such as primary schools or universities. Future research could investigate the specific dimensions and implementation items of the EAP for middle school teachers, offering insights into their most pressing needs concerning work, life, and health. Such research would contribute to developing a better working environment and learning atmosphere for teachers and students.
A Critical Phenomenology and Ethics of Aging and Dementia: Understanding Lived Experience and Advocating for Justice
Authors: Makwana Gautam , Elizabeth H
Published: November 2024

This paper explores aging and dementia through a critical phenomenological lens, emphasizing the lived experience, ethical considerations, and social justice implications. By integrating phenomenology with critical theory, it challenges dominant narratives of decline and dependency that marginalize older adults and individuals with dementia. The analysis highlights how aging and dementia disrupt traditional notions of selfhood, embodiment, and temporality while underscoring the need for a relational and dignity-centered approach to care. This framework situates aging and dementia within broader sociopolitical and ethical contexts, addressing structural inequalities and advocating for justice. The paper concludes with practical applications in caregiving, policy, and advocacy, aiming to foster equity, inclusivity, and the recognition of personhood for aging populations.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: “Attiéké” plays a crucial role in the daily lives and diets of many communities in Côte d'Ivoire. However, the national market offers a wide variety of “attiéké” qualities, which affects the uniformity of its production. One of the main causes of this variation is poor control of the fermentation parameters. Objective: The aim of this study was to standardise attiéké production by optimising fermentation, focussing on ferment control, the rate of incorporation, and fermentation time, to guarantee consistent quality. Methods: To this end, “attiéké” samples were prepared from fermented doughs containing 8%, 10% and 12% inoculum, with fermentation periods of 0, 6, 12 and 24 hours. These samples were then compared with a reference “attiéké” produced in Dabou. The effectiveness of standardising fermentation parameters was assessed by measuring microbial loads of lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus, yeasts, and moulds, and by analysing physicochemical parameters such as pH, glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol. Results: The results showed that the fermentation that produced an “attiéké” similar to the control sample was carried out with 10% ferment for 12 hours (C10T12). This “attiéké” showed Bacillus loads of 2.6 log10 cfu/g, lactic bacteria loads of 1.1 log10 cfu/g, as well as a glucose concentration of 6.35 g/L, sucrose of 4.8 g/L, lactic acid of 4.45 g/L, acetic acid of 1.35 g/L, and a pH of 4.8. Conclusion: Therefore, this work answers the question of the reproducibility of this traditional dish, “attiéké”.

Published: November 2024

Technological developments and modern industrial needs increasingly demand high energy efficiency in refrigeration machine operations. In this context, the development of a more efficient cooling machine control system is very necessary. Portable cooler boxes using Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) technology are an innovation to improve the quality and durability of fish caught by fishermen in Surabaya. This research aims to design and test a cooler box that can maintain low temperatures for a long time. This research method uses experimental methods, a series of tools and uses two test plans, namely: static and dynamic testing. The components used are three Peltier elements supported by a 12V 54A power supply, a 10K NTC temperature sensor, and a passive thermal regulator heatsink with fan. Precision testing data on the comparison sensor (thermodigital), obtained an average value of 3.75%. The error value is still categorized as a safe difference value and the tool works according to its function. Test data shows that the Cooler box can maintain a temperature between 5°C to 10°C, this temperature is ideal for slowing down the process of fish spoilage. Testing was carried out by integrating an Arduino Nano for real-time temperature monitoring which is displayed on the LCD and stored on a MicroSD. Test results show that this cooling system is effective in maintaining a stable temperature under various conditions of use, with an electrical energy consumption of 3111.38Wh per 6 hours.

Authors: Anugrah Zainuri  , Kasturi Kasturi
Published: November 2024

The aim of this research is to analyze the performance of the SH250 Screw compressor based on field observation data. Based on the observation and data analysis, several conclusions can be drawn. First, the actual capacity of the compressor decreased by about 14.7485% from the design condition. This decrease is caused by the difference in operational pressure which is lower than the design pressure. Secondly, the power generated by the current compressor is about 136.143kW, which is lower than the design power of 250 kW. This decrease in power is due to the low input temperature. These findings indicate the importance of considering actual operational conditions in optimizing compressor performance. In this context, further adjustments or evaluations are recommended to ensure optimal performance of the SH250 Screw compressor. Factors such as operational pressure and input temperature should be carefully considered to achieve the expected results. This research provides valuable insights for the industry in understanding the factors affecting compressor performance and provides a basis for future performance improvements. These efforts are expected to improve operational efficiency and reduce potential losses in the use of the SH250 Screw compressor.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of elastic band resistance training (EBRT) program associated with practical blood flow restriction (BFR) on muscle strength and hypertrophy. Fourteen physically active male participated in an eight-week upper limbs EBRT program, with one limb under BFR and the other with free blood flow (EBRT+BFR). Bilateral and unilateral elbow flexion exercises were performed three times a week, with three sets of 15 repetitions in each upper limb. Blood flow restriction was produced by an extensive band, implementing the pressure stipulated at 25% of the resting upper arm circumference. Significant main effect for time was found in elbow flexors muscle thickness measured with ultrasound to both training conditions, but no significant interactions in the time x group were identified. Relative strength gains measure with a dynamometer were -0.5 ± 10.2 % and 0.5 ± 12.1 % in the arms trained with EBRT and EBRT+BFR, respectively. The relative gains in elbow flexor muscle thickness were 1.8 ± 6.2 % with EBRT training and 5.5 ± 6.7 % in EBRT+BFR (both p > .05). In conclusion, applying BFR to an EBRT was not superior at increasing upper limb muscular strength or hypertrophy in young adults compared to EBRT alone.

Published: November 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar o impacto das ações de marketing esportivo adotadas pelas empresas patrocinadoras de clubes de futebol brasileiros no comportamento dos torcedores. Especificamente, busca-se analisar como a imagem da marca patrocinadora e do clube influenciam o sentimento de lealdade dos torcedores. A pesquisa adotou uma abordagem descritiva, utilizando um questionário eletrônico aplicado a grupos de sócio torcedores nas redes sociais. Quatro dimensões foram avaliadas: imagem do clube, imagem da marca patrocinadora, lealdade à marca do clube e lealdade à marca patrocinadora. Com base nessas dimensões, foram estabelecidas cinco hipóteses, que foram testadas usando a análise de equações estruturais com a abordagem alternativa de estimação dos mínimos quadrados parciais - PLS-SEM. Os resultados indicam que a lealdade dos torcedores ao clube é influenciada tanto pela imagem do próprio clube quanto pela imagem dos seus patrocinadores. Além disso, ao se associarem com um clube de futebol por meio de ações de marketing esportivo, as marcas patrocinadoras podem melhorar sua imagem entre os torcedores, mas isso não necessariamente leva a um comportamento de lealdade. Esse estudo contribui para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de marketing mais eficientes para empresas e clubes de futebol brasileiros.
„Nawet zabójca nie traci swej osobowej godności i Bóg samczyni się jej gwarantem” (Jan Paweł II).Aporia nieutracalnej godności szatana, a więc chrześcijańskoekstremalny przyczynek do refleksji nad kategorią godności
Authors: Płóciennik Michał
Published: November 2024

Zasadniczo całe chrześcijaństwo wyznaje przekonanie o bezwarunkowej, a zatem nieutracalnej godności osoby ludzkiej, która ufundowana jest na absolutnie bezwarunkowej miłości Trójjedynego Boga, Stwórcy i Zbawiciela, w pełni objawionej w Osobiei Wydarzeniu Chrystusa. Oznacza to niemożliwość utraty przez człowieka tejże godności nawet w sytuacji ewentualnego najgorszego wyboru, jakim jest z perspektywychrześcijańskiej odrzucenie Bożej komunijnej oferty, co oznacza stan piekła. Czy jednak dotyczy to także aniołów jako stworzonych bytów osobowych, a szczególnie szatana i innych upadłych duchów, dla których, zgodnie z głównym nurtem chrześcijańskiejdoktryny, owa najgorsza możliwość już się urzeczywistniła w wyniku dokonanegoprzez nich nieodwołalnego wyboru? Czy i na ile chrześcijański dyskurs godnościowy dotyczy także ich? Kwestia ta zostanie podjęta w perspektywie chrześcijańskiego obrazu Boga, będącego w Sobie samym trynitarną miłością, która stanowi źródłoi przestrzeń wolnej, absolutnie bezwarunkowej miłości Boga do swojego stworzenia,szczególnie do istot osobowych, której szczytem jest stanie się przez Stwórcę na zawsze jednym ze swoich stworzeń. W oparciu o wnioski wynikające z analizy tytułowejaporii godności szatana w zakończeniu zostanie ukazany eksplanacyjny i heurystycznypotencjał chrześcijańskiego rozumienia godności, zwłaszcza osobowej w kontekściewspółczesnych sporów o godność.

Published: November 2024

Background: Despite much evidence showing the effects of game-based and drill-based training methods in team sports, there have been no discussions about which training method is more effective in young male volleyball players. The present study aimed to compare the effects of game-based versus drill-based training methods on the technical skills of young male volleyball players. Methods: The study used an experimental control group design. During the 2022–2023 practice period, 40 young male volleyball players trained in Injibara, Ethiopia. The athletes were 15 and 16 years old. The selection method used was a census approach. Subsequently, all 40 players were randomly assigned to game-based or drill-based training groups. Standard volleyball skill tests (Russell & Lange test for serving and spiking and the Byra Mark test for passing and setting competence) were used to collect the data. The study used descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (paired and independent t-tests) to analyze the data. Normality (Shapiro-Wilk test) and variance homogeneity (Levine’s test) were verified to ensure robust interpretations. Results: The study found that 12 weeks of game-based training led to significant improvements in serving, passing, setting, and spiking skills compared to drill-based training (p < .05). Conclusions: Young male volleyball players who participated in game-based training had higher scores in volleyball technical skills than those from drill-based training groups.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to identify students' conceptual understanding of sound wave material through the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model at MAN 3 Sleman Yogyakarta—this quantitative research with descriptive analysis involved 20 students as respondents. Data were collected through a conceptual understanding test covering subtopics of sound waves such as definitions, properties, string sound sources, organ pipe sound sources, resonance, the Doppler effect, wave interference, intensity, and sound intensity level. The results showed that students' conceptual understanding of sound waves was very high, with an average correct answer percentage of 87.5%. The resonance and wave interference subtopics achieved the % correct answer percentage of 100%. In comparison, the definition of sound waves had the lowest correct answer percentage of 60%, falling into the "sufficient" understanding category. The high resonance and wave interference achievement was due to practical methods using everyday tools and materials, helping students understand these concepts in a real-world context. In conclusion, the CTL model effectively enhances students' understanding of physics concepts. It is recommended that the CTL model continues to be applied in physics and other subject areas to improve students' conceptual understanding.

This study focuses on the importance of elderly people's participation in Community Centers for mental health. In an attempt to understand the subject to be researched, as well as the themes interconnected with this process, including the discussion of concepts necessary for a better understanding of the object, it was necessary to read specific articles in the area of ​​gerontology, mental health, relevant legislation and COVID-19, in addition to topics such as community groups; the recent change that occurred in basic social protection, which was the reorganization of social assistance services; Community Service and Strengthening of Bonds; among others. This research aims to investigate the perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of elderly people participating in Community Centers. With a qualitative approach, based on the critical dialectical method, the research included an exploratory literature review and a semi-structured interview with users of eight Community Centers for elderly people, located in the city of Ponta Grossa/PR, totaling sixteen people interviewed of both sexes. To support the organization of the information, the IRAMUTEC software was used to create the textual corpus, construct the word cloud and the similarity tree. The analysis of the results followed the content analysis procedures proposed by Bardin (1977) and then the data were categorized, contemplating three chronological phases: 1) pre-analysis; 2) exploration of the material; 3) treatment of the results, inference and interpretation. Through the analysis of the data, it was possible to capture, with the results in the form of responses, how elderly people participating in the Community Centers had their mental health affected by the consequences left by the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews were duly authorized by the elderly people, who were also previously informed about the objectives and procedures of the research. It was concluded that Community Centers for the elderly are an extremely important place, which can provide human emancipation, prevent isolation and social exclusion and is also an environment in which participants can interact with each other, share life experiences, in addition to achieving active and healthy aging.
OS EFEITOS DA TERAPIA DE ERRADICAÇÃO DO HELICOBACTER PYLORI SOBRE A INCIDÊNCIA DO ADENOCARCINOMA GÁSTRICO
Authors: Martins Fellipe Watanabe , Chehter Ethel Zimberg
Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION: Helicobacter pylori is the major risk factor for the development of gastric adenocarcinoma, and may increase its risk by two times. Thus, in the last twenty years, many studies have investigated whether eradicating this agent reduces the risk of gastric cancer. However, the results were initially inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review was carried out to identify the impact of H. pylori eradication on the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma. METHOD: Using the Pubmed, Cochrane, Medline, and LILACS databases, a systematic review of studies involving H. pylori eradication treatment and the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma was carried out from 2019 to 2024. Meta-analyses, reviews, systematic reviews, clinical trials, and randomized controlled trials in English, involving humans, were included in the review. RESULTS: 12 studies were included. All of them showed that the eradication of H. pylori reduced the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma in individuals without preneoplastic lesions, so that this decrease ranged from 43% to 76% among the articles (CI=95%). DISCUSSION: Gastric adenocarcinoma is unlikely to develop in those not infected with H. pylori. Thus, investigating the effects of the eradication of this bacterium is of great interest to public health. Many factors interfere with the relationship between H. pylori and host and, therefore, with the development of gastric cancer. To mention, the socioeconomic condition and specific virulence factors. Another challenge in the issue of H. pylori is the treatment of the infection, due to the variety of strains and antimicrobial resistance, making it difficult to eradicate. In countries where H. pylori infection and gastric cancer are very prevalent, strategies aimed at analyzing the susceptibility of certain strains to antimicrobials and identifying which genes are responsible for this resistance may be the key to controlling the infection and, therefore, to reducing gastric cancer cases. CONCLUSION: Eradication of H. pylori decreases the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma. Thus, screening and treating these infections in populations with a high prevalence of H. pylori is beneficial to prevent gastric cancer, with public health in mind.

Published: November 2024

In several Brazilian cities, wooden furniture is manufactured in carpentry shops, which are part of traditional and popular Brazilian culture. In this activity, the use of various machines and equipment is constant and poses various physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic risks, the main agents being: noise and vibration from machines, dust from medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and sawn wood, paints and resins, repetitive movements and direct injuries. In Brazil, accident statistics exceed 500,000 accidents per year, which often result in temporary or permanent disabilities, in addition to social and psychological consequences. In several studies, the results indicate a high accident rate in carpentry shops. Based on this understanding, the objective of this research was to verify the possible influence of culture on the current work method of carpenters in relation to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) issues, based on interviews with 14 carpenters from the municipality of Palmeira dos Ìndios - Alagoas, through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire with closed and open questions. It was found that approximately 71% of the carpenters learned the traditional practice of carpentry when they were under 18 years old, meaning they were still minors. 100% of them learned from more experienced carpenters, that is, they did not participate in professional training courses in the area of ​​activity and 90% learned from carpenters who did not regularly use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It was found that 90% of the carpenters did not regularly use PPE, despite 100% being aware of the risks and having already suffered some type of accident, and 65% having participated in lectures or training sessions with the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (SEBRAE) during their professional lives. This resistance to the use of PPE tends to be caused by the culture of influence of the way they learned the profession, since 80% of the carpenters, in their statements, stated that the reason for not using personal protection on a regular basis was because they had learned from people who did not use PPE. Thus, it is understood that, despite participating in training during their profession, and being aware of the various risks inherent to OHS, the carpenters chose to disregard the risks and not protect themselves. These results reinforce the thesis that culture, specifically the way of learning, directly influenced the carpenters' decision-making in not protecting themselves in terms of OSH, leading to a certain trivialization of risks which has resulted in a high accident rate.

This article deals with the "Borboletando Project: at home you also learn!", as an example of a successful experience that unites the art of storytelling in the continuum of informal education, enabling, in a playful way, the learning of themes focused on reality and everyday issues that involve families, students, teachers, or anyone interested in listening to stories and learning in a pleasurable way. The art of storytelling is an ancestral activity, but it arouses fascination even in a society mediated by digital technologies, enabling educational/pedagogical experiences in virtual networks. The Project emerged in 2020 and according to the author she was sensitized by the pandemic to the fact that she saw children, especially young ones, being cloistered indoors without being able to visit relatives, friends, colleagues, and often only in the company of their parents. The name of the project was inspired by the metamorphosis of the butterfly, first – a caterpillar – passing from leaf to leaf in the garden, and then trapped in the cocoon. The research has the following objectives: to analyze the Borboletando Project in the context of educational innovation; describe some experiences with storytelling promoted by the project; present the stories and memories of the protagonists about their experiences in the Project. The methodological path started from a qualitative research, based on Minayo (2002), in which a content analysis was carried out based on Bardin (2011). To this end, a semi-structured interview was applied and oral life histories of the research subjects were collected - students of the teacher training course in the scope of Pedagogy at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI). The Project brings playful alternatives using diverse materials, creativity and innovative practices from traditional educational resources (storytelling, music, visual arts, among others). This sharing allows parents and the school to suggest activities in which the child gains wings becoming the butterfly. It's been 4 (four) years of a project that offers some types of storytelling: storytelling itself through videos and animations. It expanded the educational and pedagogical possibilities provided by storytelling in virtual networks, as a university extension providing the community with the opportunity to participate with suggestions for specific themes. It is also a space for successful experiences for students at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI).

Authors: Teixeira Solange Maria , de Carvalho Juliana Lima
Published: November 2024

The social democratic project of the labor parties resulted in reforms in social policies. From 1980 onwards, with the global capitalist crisis of the 1970s, the so-called New Right emerged, which took away labor and social rights and gave rise to a part of this so-called New Right to extreme conservatism and ultraneoliberalism. The objective of this article is to analyze the repercussions on social policies of the different ideological and political government projects, highlighting the challenges of rowing against the neoliberal tide for the class conciliation governments in Brazil. This is an analytical and qualitative research, with a bibliographical basis intentionally chosen to meet the proposed objectives. The method of presentation begins with the first section that conceptually addresses the name of the emerging New Right until its intensification in far-right groups of religious, military and neoconservative nature. The second section analyzes the New Right in Brazil and its far-right expressions after 2016 with the government of Jair Bolsonaro and the counter-reforms implemented. In the last session, we discussed the possibilities of the return of neo-developmentalism and a government of class conciliation, their challenges and possibilities.

Published: November 2024

The neoliberal dictates and financial capitalism that have been taking place in the 2000s have been causing significant changes in the environment, people's lives, and the global order. In addition to these changes that permeate the areas of industry and automation, technology, politics, economy, and culture, we are experiencing a recent pandemic. In Brazil, especially, the second half of the 20th century was marked by intense struggles for the achievement of rights and democracy, and the 2000s have been marked by the loss of rights that had been achieved. To analyze the guarantee of social control in times of the Covid-19 pandemic and post-pandemic (2020-2023) is an observation from the Municipal Health Council of the Municipality of Bom Jesus do Itabapoana-RJ. This is an exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, epistemologically guided by dialectical historical materialism, where we will carry out a literature review, documentary and field research. Data collection will be carried out in the municipality of Bom Jesus do Itabapoana, in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, where we will interview councilors and former councilors of the Municipal Health Council. A questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. The study thus seeks to offer an in-depth analysis of social control in a context of increased neoliberalism, especially in the health sector, during the COVID-19 crisis and its subsequent recovery period. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Municipal Health Council of Bom Jesus do Itabapoana-RJ adapted by holding remote meetings, but faced low community participation, which limited the effectiveness of policies. Most councilors dedicated between one and three hours per week to activities, with financial support available.
CHARACTER STRENGTHS AND EMPOWERMENT OF ADOLESCENTS IN ANTI-RACIST PROJECTS

Published: November 2024

The present study aimed to identify the 5 most evident character strengths in 10 anti-racist projects developed by adolescents, most of whom were black, and to reflect on how these strengths contribute to their empowerment in the fight against racism. After analyzing the projects, we highlighted the actions described and the main impacts achieved in each one. The identification of character strengths was performed by 9 judges and the data were analyzed using the R software (version 4.3.3) and Fleiss' Kappa for reliability of the evaluation. The results showed that creativity, teamwork, hope, justice and social intelligence were the most evident strengths and that of the 24 strengths studied by Seligman and Peterson (2004), 20 were identified by the judges. In our discussion, we argue how much the highlighted character strengths can contribute to the empowerment of adolescents in the fight against racism. However, we recognize the need for more empirical studies pointing out the relationship between these constructs in the fight to eradicate this evil, which causes psychological suffering for many black people.
