DISCURSOS HETERONORMATIVOS SOBRE ARRANJOS FAMILIARES EM LIVROS PARADIDÁTICOS DOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: DA SILVA GOMES FERNANDO LUCAS , SOUZA GOMES ALTENEY JOSÉ , RONIE SÁ-SILVA JACKSON
Published: August 2024

Os arranjos familiares, através da dinâmica das inter-relações sociais, são marcados pela heterogeneidade, pluralidade e diferença. No entanto, esses aspectos por vezes são negados em decorrência dos discursos hegemônicos, que, ao classificarem o modelo de família nuclear como único arranjo aceitável, natural e legítimo, acaba produzindo categorizações de artificialidade e incoerência sobre determinadas organizações familiares. Compreendendo que os livros paradidáticos, recursos pedagógicos utilizados em sala de aula para auxiliar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, podem se configurar como instrumentos que perpetuam esses atravessamentos, este estudo se objetiva em analisar os discursos heteronormativos sobre arranjos familiares em livros paradidáticos dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental (1° ao 5° ano). No que se refere à metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa educacional documental pautada no campo teórico-metodológico dos Estudos Culturais em Educação numa perspectiva pós-estruturalista, localizando-se ainda nas discussões relacionadas aos estudos de gênero e sexualidade. O observado na análise do discurso é que os livros paradidáticos, apesar de trazerem exceções, corroboram com a proposição generificada dos corpos e atuam como sustentáculos para a reprodução dos discursos heteronormativos no contexto escolar, onde consequentemente desconsideram a diversidade de modelos familiares existentes no meio social, buscando fixar, legitimar e cristalizar o arranjo familiar normativo composto por um homem, uma mulher e filhos, centrado em uma perspectiva discursiva de características essencialistas, biologicistas e padronizantes.

The Seven Lakes of San Pablo in the Philippines provide various ecosystem services including aquaculture and ecotourism which can degrade the lake’s condition. The water quality of the lakes was assessed and the perception of the locals on this and on the impacts of aquaculture and ecotourism on water quality were determined. Water quality was assessed in August and November 2019 and May 2021 to determine the condition of the lakes. Aquaculture lakes had lower dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, higher biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chlorophyll-a indicating eutrophic condition. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) was conducted to elicit the perception of locals on the historical water quality. Locals perceived that there is a relationship between degraded water quality and anthropogenic activities in the lake. The PRA result is a verification that water quality has been degrading since the establishment of fish cages and settlements around the lake. The condition of the Seven Lakes in terms of water quality is being threatened due to these factors. These results will be useful for the local government unit in crafting strategies for the protection and sustainable management of the Seven Lakes.

Published: August 2024

É perceptível que o Ensino de Ciências vem enfrentando dificuldades por parte dos alunos, principalmente quando se limita à transmissão de conceitos científicos complexos. Dentro da Educação do Campo, o grau de complexidade se torna ainda mais elevado, prejudicando cada vez mais esses sujeitos. Com base em Moura (2012) e Villela (2014), objetivamos desenvolver uma análise documental dos materiais que regem a educação, como a BNCC, as DCNs e o PPP de uma escola do campo, de modo a entender as propostas de ensino no referido contexto. Para isso, após escolha do corpus, foi realizada a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2011) no material. Como resultados, foi possível inferir 5 categorias: i) Finalidade Educacional; ii) Ensino de Ciências; iii) Educação Participativa; iv) Diversidade Educativa; v) Competências Didáticas. Por fim, entendemos que as problemáticas podem emergir pela falta de formação continuada dos professores e de um ensino voltado para a necessidade do aluno.

The first lung transplant (LT) was made in Romania in 2018 at a 36-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study follows the first LT rehabilitation by describing the physical therapy program (PTP), the measurements of body mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) by bio-impedancemetry analysis (BIA) and the functional capacity assessment realized by the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and by the functional respiratory tests (FRTs) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of functional respiratory rehabilitation in this case during a period of one year. In parallel, repeated transbronchial biopsies were performed after six weeks, three months, six months and one year since the transplant. Only the first biopsies showed injuries suggesting an acute rejection, all the rest revealing mild, unspecific lesions. The patient followed 15 sessions of respiratory exercises, joints mobilizations and progressive global muscle strength started one month after LT surgery and was also instructed to perform the exercises at home, using a tablet given at discharge and under monthly guidance through telemedicine. All the measurements were performed before and after the rehabilitation cure, and it was repeated at three different evaluations for one year. The results showed that at the end of follow-up, the 6MWT was significantly increased from 59% of predicted distance at the intake in post-acute hospitalization to 166% at one year after LT, without desaturation that represent a very good evolution; the FRTs increased to normal, and the body weight increased with 18 kg (from severe underweight to normal weight) with constant increasement of skeletal muscle mass. The use of PTP after LT surgery significantly improves functional capacity and increases body mass and skeletal muscle mass.

Unveiling the Nexus between Capital Structure Dynamics and Stock Performance: A Panel Data Approach of Listed Firms in Vietnam
Authors:   The Olympia School, Vietnam, Toan, DO Thai
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the dynamic relationship between capital structure and stock performance in Vietnamese firms, addressing a critical gap in emerging market finance literature. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset of 122 listed firms on the Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi Stock Exchanges from 2010 to 2022, we employ a dynamic panel approach with System GMM estimation to control for endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity. Our findings reveal a non-linear, U-shaped relationship between leverage and stock returns, suggesting an optimal capital structure that maximizes performance. We also find that ownership structure significantly impacts stock returns, with state ownership negatively associated and foreign ownership positively linked to performance. Furthermore, the quality of the institutional environment plays a crucial role in shaping this relationship. This research contributes to both academic literature and practical applications by extending the understanding of capital structure dynamics in emerging markets, particularly in the context of Vietnam's transitioning economy. It offers valuable insights for corporate financial management, emphasizing the importance of calibrating debt levels and ownership structures to optimize performance. The study's originality lies in its comprehensive examination of capital structure dynamics, ownership structure, and institutional quality in the context of an emerging Asian market, providing a nuanced understanding of these complex interrelationships.

Trainers are incredibly influential persons who help to produce exceptional athletes in school's extracurricular martial arts programs. Self-efficacy is a key indicator of trainer competence in the process of training extracurricular martial arts sports. The objectives of this study are to 1) determine the differences in the levels of self-efficacy of martial arts trainers in secondary schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta based on gender, and 2) determine the differences in the levels of self-efficacy of martial arts trainers in secondary schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta based on training licenses.This research is a comparative study. This study involved 56 martial arts trainers who taught extracurricular martial arts in secondary schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study's data was collected via a questionnaire. A questionnaire was utilized to collect data on martial arts trainers' self-efficacy. The questionnaire consists of ten statements with responses on a range of 1 to 5. Experts reviewed the questionnaire, which was empirically validated for validity and reliability. The independent sample t test was used to analyze the data, which was preceded by data precursor tests such as the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Levene's Test of variance homogeneity. The independent sample t test analysis of self-efficacy levels based on gender resulted in a significant value of 0.946 > 0.05. These findings suggest that there is no difference in self-efficacy between male and female trainers. The Independent sample t-test study of self-efficacy based on training licenses results in a significance value of 0.032 < 0.05. These findings indicate there is a difference in self-efficacy levels between trainers with national and local licenses. These findings may assist trainers, administrators, and policymakers establish better training programs.

Abstract. The main aim of this research was to determine the influence of learning methods and motor skills on the learning outcomes of fencing attack skills. A 2 x 2 factorial design was used in this study to investigate two learning methods (massed practice and distributed practice) and two categories of motor ability (high and low). A total of 40 students were involved in this study and divided into four groups (A1B1, A1B2, A2B1, and A2B2), each group consisting of 10 people. Each group was given treatment for 16 meetings. The research data were analyzed using the t-test and analysis of variance at a significance level of α = .05. The results of the research found (1) there was a significant difference in influence between massed practice and distributed practice learning methods on fencing martial arts attack skills (F = 72.654; p < .01), (2) there was no significant difference in learning outcomes for fencing martial arts attack skills between groups that have high motor ability versus low motor ability (F = 3.144; p > .05), and (3) there was no significant interaction between massed practice, distributed practice, and motor ability learning methods with fencing attack skills (F = .0001; p > .05). Massed practice learning methods appear to be superior in improving fencing attack skills compared to distributed practice.

A hairy discovery: Chaetomiaceae associated with roots of wild Orchidaceae and their potential for the biological control of root diseases
Authors:   , Ramos Danilo Oliveira
Published: August 2024

Fungal members of the Chaetomiaceae family can be usually found as endophytes on several plant species, including orchids. Several species of this fungal family have the potential to be used in the biological control of plant diseases. Due to the lack of information about these fungi in association with orchids, this study aimed to isolate and identify the root endophytic Chaetomiaceae that occur in wild Orchidaceae plants, based on morphological and molecular analyses. Furthermore, isolates were tested for their ability to antagonize two soil-borne pathogens, Fusarium sacchari and Rhizoctonia solani. Healthy roots from 12 orchid species were sampled in the cities of Araponga-MG, Conceição do Mato Dentro-Mg, Viçosa-MG, Brasília-DF, Goiânia-GO and Nova Friburgo-RJ. Orchid fungal endophytes were isolated using the indirect isolation and dilution-to-extinction culturing method. Fungal genomic DNA was extracted, and the partial beta-tubulin (tub2) and partial RNA polymerase II second large subunit (rpb2) gene regions were amplified. PCR products were purified and sequenced by Macrogen (South Korea). Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inferences were performed for phylogenetic analyses. A total of 45 isolates, from six genera belonging to Chaetomiaceae family were obtained, these being Arcopilus, Chaetomium, Collariella, Dichotomopilus, Humicola and Pseudohumicola. The species Arcopilus amazonicus, A. aureus, and A. cupreus were identified, and four new Arcopilus species were discovered. In the Chaetomium genus five species were identified, C. coarctatum, C. cochliodes, C. globosum, C. pseudocochliodes and C. tenue. A new species of Collariella and Dichotomopilus were identified, and three new species from the genus Humicola were discovered. In addition, Pseudohumicola pulvericola and a new species from this genus were isolated from orchid substrate. A dual culture test was performed to test the ability of 10 endophytic Chaetomiaceae strains to antagonize F. sacchari. Moreover, seven isolates were chosen for the greenhouse experiment with R. solani on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). In both biocontrol essays the strain C. tenue (COAD 3736) presented a potential in the control of both pathogens when compared to the other strains tested. This study unraveled the species richness of Chaetomiaceae associated with roots of wild orchids and presented a strain of C. tenue (COAD 3736) with the potential for the biological control of phytopatogenic fungi. Keywords: Taxonomy; phylogeny; biocontrol; endophytes, orchids.

Authors: Guimarães Vasconcelos Rosa Ana Beatriz , Brandão da Silva Andreza , Da Silva Martins Botelho Patrícia , Huguenin Tássio
Published: August 2024

O uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) se tornou bastante popular nos últimos anos, principalmente após a pandemia do COVID-19, implementados como forma de diversificar e dar continuidade ao ensino. Dessa maneira, formatos como podcast e videocast, que são recursos amplamente usados para o lazer, foram utilizados com o objetivo de ampliar o conhecimento dos mais variados temas, além da facilidade com os quais podem ser acessados. O objetivo desse artigo é descrever o processo de desenvolvimento de materiais didáticos, produzindo vídeocast com temas relevantes para o ensino médico, a fim de melhorar o processo educacional. Foi proposto aos alunos a apresentação de um caso clínico de obstetrícia utilizando alguma ferramenta diferente do padrão de ensino tradicional. Optamos pelo videocast e foi criado um roteiro, realizada a gravação e edição. A apresentação foi em uma aula de obstetrícia do curso de medicina e, posteriormente, um questionário de satisfação foi respondido pelos participantes. A produção de um videocast necessita de etapas importantes para seu sucesso como método de ensino. Utilizar as tecnologias da informação para facilitar o aprendizado foi proveitoso neste caso. Durante a pesquisa concluiu-se que a maioria considera a tecnologia mais interessante que o normal e afirmaram que reutilizariam essa ferramenta. Logo, percebeu-se que o uso desse método facilitou a fixação do conteúdo para 96,6% dos participantes devido à forma leve e descontraída de transmitir as informações. Portanto, após a análise dos dados da discussão, concluímos que há pouco uso de tecnologias modernas nesse processo, embora esse método inovador tenha comprovada eficácia da melhoria do aprendizado. Além disso, observa-se a importância de uma maior divulgação e preparo tanto de discentes e docentes para um adequado proveito dessa ferramenta.

A sífilis congênita (SC) é uma infecção causada pela bactéria Treponema pallidum e é transmitida da mãe para o feto, principalmente por via transplacentária, que ocorre quando a mãe com diagnóstico não trata ou não realiza o tratamento de forma adequada. O objetivo desse trabalho é descrever a prevalência e distribuição da sífilis congênita em crianças nas regiões do Brasil, no período de 2012 a 2021, com ênfase nas variáveis faixa etária e regiões, correlacionando-as com as razões multifatoriais que levaram à situação epidemiológica atual. O método utilizado foi um estudo epidemiológico descritivo, retrospectivo e quantitativo sobre casos de sífilis congênita em crianças de 0 a 12 anos nas regiões do Brasil, entre 2012 e 2021, com dados obtidos por meio do Departamento de HIV/Aids, Tuberculose, Hepatites Virais e Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis da Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde. A análise das variáveis foi realizada baseada nesses percentuais, com embasamento através da literatura publicada entre 2016 e 2023, obtidas nas plataformas online Scielo, PubMed, Science.gov e Tratado de Pediatria. Observou-se um aumento de aproximadamente 130,09% no número de casos totais, de 2012 a 2021, com maiores números de casos nas regiões Sudeste, Nordeste, Sul, Norte e Centro-Oeste, respectivamente. Esses eventos ocorreram com maior frequência na faixa etária de recém-nascidos com menos de sete dias de vida. Pode-se relacionar as altas taxas de incidência com melhores condições de acesso e atendimento nas unidades de saúde, o que eleva o número de casos, além de falhas no processo assistencial na redução da transmissão vertical e tratamento inadequado da sífilis materna. Conclui-se que houve um aumento considerável nos números de casos de sífilis congênita no Brasil, com maiores valores nas regiões Sudeste, Nordeste e Sul e na faixa etária de recém-nascidos de até sete dias. O alto número de casos de sífilis congênita pode ser explicado pela maior disponibilidade de métodos diagnósticos e pela falta de efetividade na redução da transmissão vertical, além do tratamento inadequado da sífilis materna. No entanto, existe a possibilidade de algumas regiões registrarem poucos casos devido às limitações no acesso e atendimento ao diagnóstico.

A Artrite Reumatoide é uma doença inflamatória crônica autoimune, que tem a desregulação da interleucina-6 demonstrada em sua fisiopatologia. Neste artigo, temos como objetivo identificar quais são as novidades farmacológicas relacionadas a interferência em vias da interleucina-6 estudadas nos últimos 5 anos que possam ser capazes de modularem o curso da doença Artrite Reumatoide. Foi realizada uma consulta ao banco de dados Pubmed a partir dos mesh terms ((Arthritis, Rheumatoid[MeSH Terms])) AND (interleukin 6[MeSH Terms]) como critério de busca. Para obter tal resultado da pesquisa, foi associado o uso de filtros como “artigos produzidos nos últimos 5 anos”, “ensaios clínicos” e “ensaios clínicos randomizados”, obtendo-se 16 artigos no total, no entanto, apenas os 7 artigos preenchiam os critérios de seleção determinados pelos autores. Como resultado, chegamos aos três fármacos relacionados à interleucina-6 mais abordados nos últimos 5 anos: Olokizumabe, Sirukumabe e Sarilumabe. Diante disso, constatou-se que os três medicamentos têm ação de inibir a interleucina-6 e, portanto, diminuem os sinais e sintomas da doença como exemplo a dor nas articulações. Dessa forma, os autores concluem que os inibidores da interleucina-6 surgem como opções terapêuticas viáveis e individualizadas para cada paciente, com destaque naqueles em que o tratamento contínuo com inibidores do fator de necrose tumoral não foi efetivo no curso e nos sintomas da Artrite Reumatoide.

Vegetables are part of everyday diet.  There has been more emphasis on their palatability and nutritional values, but they potentially contribute to transmitting intestinal parasites, among other pathogens, to man.  This study examined 10 samples of five commonly consumed vegetables from Samaru in Zaria, Nigeria.  Twenty-five (25g) fresh vegetable samples were washed in 225 mL of sterile normal saline and gently shaken for 60 seconds.  The wash water was allowed to stay for 3 hr in the dark.  The supernatant was carefully discarded until only about 15mL was left.  The sediment was further concentrated by centrifuging at 3000 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes and examined for intestinal parasites on wet mounts using the compound light microscope.  The overall occurrence of intestinal parasites on the vegetables was 22.0%.  Ascaris lumbricoides was the most occurring parasite (18.0%), followed by equal 2.0% of hookworms, Trichuris trichiura and Fasciola species.  Vegetable samples obtained from Mangorori Market had the highest contamination with Ascaris lumbricoides than other markets, but overall parasitic contamination was highest on vegetables obtained from ABU Community Market.  Cabbage was the most contaminated (50.0%), followed by 20% each of lettuce and carrots.  Samples displayed on mats during the sale had the highest contamination with Ascaris lumbricoides (23.5%), followed by those displayed on the ground (22.2%).  There was higher intestinal parasitic contamination of vegetables sold in dirty surroundings (23.3%) than in relatively clean surroundings (10.0%).  Sufficient orientation on the role of fresh raw vegetables in transmitting intestinal parasites should be aimed at farmers, sellers, distributors and final consumers to curb potential health risks
Detection of Urinary Analytes due to Schistosoma haematobium Infection among School Children for Possible Application in Screening for Urinary Schistosomiasis
Authors: Bishop Henry Gabriel
Published: August 2024

Study’s Novelty/Excerpt

This study introduces an approach for the rapid screening and diagnosis of urinary schistosomiasis using urinalysis in remote communities, where advanced diagnostic techniques are often unavailable.
By analyzing 600 school children across six Local Government Areas in Kaduna State, Nigeria, the research highlights significant associations between urinary schistosomiasis and specific urinalysis indicators, such as leukocytes, proteinuria, and micro-hematuria.
This method not only demonstrates the feasibility of immediate treatment initiation but also underscores the potential for preventing the chronicity and further community spread of the disease, addressing a critical gap in current public health strategies for rural settings.

Full Abstract
Urinary schistosomiasis is a disease that has persisted for a long time among children in Nigeria and other African countries. The persistence of schistosomiasis in people living in rural communities is attributed to the abundance of unsafe water bodies where both children and adults engage in activities such as irrigation, bathing, fishing, washing, or fetching water for domestic use. The lack of adequate community-based screening and treatment of infected cases has contributed to the continuous spread of schistosomiasis from endemic communities to new areas. Urinalysis can serve as a rapid method for screening for urinary schistosomiasis among populations in remote locations, enabling immediate treatment and the prevention of its transmission. In this study, 600 school children who gave their consent were enrolled across six Local Government Areas in Kaduna State, Nigeria. A fresh 10mL urine sample was collected from each subject, and eleven analytes were immediately determined upon submission using urine reagent test strips (SG11100-Uric 11V, Guilin Zhonghui Technology Co., Ltd, China). The urine samples underwent centrifugation at 3000 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes, and the sediment from each sample was examined microscopically for Schistosoma haematobium eggs. The data were analyzed statistically at a 95% confidence interval using IBM SPSS Version 23. The overall prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis among the children in the six LGAs of Kaduna State was 6.8%, with heavy infections at 2.2% and light infections at 4.7%. Significant associations were found between urinary schistosomiasis and the presence of leukocytes (18.5%, χ2=47.596, df=1, P=0.000, OR=8.822), proteinuria (23.1%, χ2=17.287, df=1, P=0.000, OR=4.959), and micro-hematuria (49.3%, χ2=213.184, df=1, P=0.000, OR=63.695). This study demonstrates that urinalysis can be effectively utilized for screening urinary schistosomiasis in remote communities where advanced techniques like microscopy may not be available, facilitating prompt treatment initiation. Therefore, early detection and treatment are crucial in preventing the chronicity and community spread of the disease.
