Published: January 2025

O presente estudo descreve o desenvolvimento metodológico e a validação do jogo "Caminhos do Respeito", inspirado no clássico Jogo da Vida. Voltado para adolescentes de 13 a 17 anos, o jogo busca promover a conscientização sobre os diferentes tipos de violência e estimular atitudes de respeito, empatia e cidadania no ambiente escolar. O desenvolvimento seguiu quatro fases: revisão da literatura, construção do arcabouço teórico, criação do protótipo e validação com especialistas. Baseando-se em teorias como a Teoria da Aprendizagem Social (Bandura, 1977) e a Teoria da Promoção da Saúde (Green & Kreuter, 1991), o jogo foi estruturado com tabuleiro, cartas temáticas e dinâmicas interativas para incentivar a reflexão crítica e o diálogo. Na validação, 10 especialistas avaliaram critérios como clareza, relevância e impacto educacional. Os resultados apontaram alta aceitação, com ajustes realizados no design, no sistema de pontuação e na diversidade das cartas. Conclui-se que o jogo é uma ferramenta eficaz para a educação em saúde, promovendo a mitigação da violência e o fortalecimento das relações interpessoais entre adolescentes.

Published: January 2025

O estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a produção de inserções de Dispositivos Intrauterinos (DIU) por médicos e enfermeiros na atenção primária em saúde de um município brasileiro da região Centro-Oeste. A pesquisa foi de corte transversal, com dados extraídos do prontuário eletrônico do cidadão (PEC e-SUS), entre 2019 e 2023. Como metodologia da análise estatística foi realizada a interpretação do coeficiente de correlação segundo Mukaka (2012) e R Core Team (2023). Os resultados mostraram aumento expressivo na quantidade de inserções de DIU, passando de 144 em 2019 para 1.516 até setembro de 2023. Enfermeiros superaram os médicos em inserções nos últimos anos, com um crescimento de 47,9% para 61,5%. Foram identificadas diferenças importantes na quantidade de inserções de DIU, quando comparadas Unidades sem e com Programas de Residência em Saúde. A discussão sugere que os Programas de Residência e a qualificação dos profissionais, enfermeiros e médicos, foram fatores determinantes nesse aumento. Conclui-se que a expansão do uso de DIU pode ser potencializada com a oferta de Programas de Residência em Saúde, com atividades de educação em saúde e também o apoio à equipe multidisciplinar.

Maria Firmina dos Reis, reconhecida como a primeira romancista brasileira, deixou um legado literário e social significativo. Sua obra principal, Úrsula (1859), é considerada pioneira no abolicionismo literário ao abordar a escravidão de forma humanista, dando voz e humanidade aos personagens escravizados. Nascida no Maranhão, Maria Firmina desafiou as barreiras impostas às mulheres negras em um contexto de exclusão e racismo. Além de escritora, destacou-se como educadora e defensora da igualdade, promovendo debates sobre questões raciais e sociais em sua época. Apesar de ter sido esquecida por décadas, sua obra foi redescoberta no século XX, ganhando destaque nos estudos acadêmicos. Hoje, é vista como um símbolo de resistência e representatividade, inspirando debates sobre inclusão e diversidade na literatura brasileira. O resgate de sua obra reforça a importância de reconhecer as contribuições de autores afrodescendentes para a construção de uma narrativa cultural mais ampla e inclusiva.

DEPARTMENT OF LITERARY HISTORY
OF THE 20th AND 21st CENTURIES:
MODERN CHALLENGES
Authors: Golubkov Mikhail
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes issues related to the academic and pedagogical
work of the Department of History of Modern Russian Literature and Contemporary
Literary Process, which has existed within the Faculty of Philology since its foundation. Among them is the ratio of metropolis and diaspora literature, which appear
in contradictory unity. Russian literature created over the past three decades in the
post-Soviet space, which is terra incognita for a modern philologist, as well as the
literature of the populaces of Russia, created in Russian and national languages, is
analyzed. The role of the Russian language turns out to be significant insofar as with
its help, works belonging to national literature become not only known to a much
wider audience, but reach the world level. The article shows how the conversion from
a specialty to a two-stage education system (bachelor course and master’s degrees)
led to a reduction in historical and literary courses devoted to the literature of the
twentieth century, and how the department was able to overcome these losses when
compiling its master’s program. The department develops various forms of academic and student life: every two years large conferences are held, bringing together more than a hundred researchers of Russian literature from both Russia and
foreign countries, as well as various forms of peculiar round-table-tea-parties organized by the youth of the department: undergraduates, graduate students, young
teachers. Among them are the Stray Dog Cafe, which reproduces the atmosphere of
the Silver Age salon, the Artel of Free Critics, which regularly organizes meetings
in the Artel Tea club, the round table “Literary Event”, which operates on a permanent basis.

A férfi és női testek medikalizációja
Authors: Tari Gergely
Published: January 2025

A XIX és XX. század orvosbölcseleti témakörei között megkerülhetetlen a medikalizáció meglehetősen szerteágazó jelensége, melynek számos filozófiai és bioetikai vonatkozása is van. A gyógyító munka alapvető sajátossága, hogy normatív folyamat: a betegségek, zavarok és szindrómák osztályozásától a páciensek ellátásáig erkölcsi értékek, etikai normák szövik át az orvos-beteg találkozásokat. A medikalizáció, azaz egy életjelenség orvosi hatókörbe vonása, orvosbiológiai nyelvezettel történő leírása és orvosi eszközökkel történő kezelése önmagában értéksemleges, ám az elmúlt két évszázad bővelkedik a határátlépő, az arányosság követelményeit próbára tevő gyakorlatokban. Jelen kötet a férfi és női testek működéséhez, kiváltképp a szexualitáshoz és a reprodukcióhoz fűződő jelenségek kritikai olvasatával kíván rámutatni az orvoslás társadalmi, kulturális beágyazottságára, különös tekintettel a diagnózisalkotás azon eseteire, amikor a medicina illetékessége, vagy eszközválasztása megkérdőjelezhető. Az olvasó a szexuális funkciók élethosszig tartó megőrzésének imperatívusza mellett a homoszexualitás, a hisztéria, vagy a várandósság és szülés témaköreinek filozófiai és etikai reflexióin keresztül megismerheti a medikalizáció negatív hatásait, végső soron betekintést nyerhet az egészség-betegség fogalompár filozófiai-etikai beágyazottságába.
A vision to increase the availability of PET diagnostics in low- and medium-income countries by combining a low-cost modular J-PET tomograph with the 44Ti/44Sc generator
Authors: Moskal Paweł , Stępień Ewa , Khreptak Aleksander
Published: January 2025

Objectives: This paper presents the prospects for increasing the availability of PET diagnostics by combining low-cost, lightweight and easily portable modular J-PET with the 44Ti/44Sc generator.
 Methods: J-PET is constructed based on the low-cost axially arranged plastic scintillators that may enable the construction of PET scanners 5 to 10 times less expensive compared to current PET systems, which are based on crystal scintillators. Development of the radionuclide 44Ti/44Sc generator with the 60-year half-lifetime would enable long-term onsite production of 44Sc labelled radiopharmaceuticals, eliminating the need for extensive and costly infrastructure typically associated with nuclear medicine. Presently applied 68Ge/68Ga generators with the 270 days half-lifetime require renewal every year. The 44Ti/44Sc generator could, in principle, be purchased once every half century.
 Results: The lightweight and portable J-PET scanner, combined with the 44Ti/44Sc generator, can be deployed in remote and underserved regions, thus democratising access to advanced medical-imaging techniques.
 Conclusions: This novel concept shows the transformative potential of combining innovative J-PET technology with the 44Ti/44Sc generator to make advanced diagnostics more accessible and affordable worldwide, especially benefiting millions of patients in low- and medium-income countries, and driving further innovations in medical imaging.
Institutional Ethnography
Authors: Carpenter Sara , Mojab Shahrzad
Published: January 2025

Institutional ethnography is often seen as a useful tool in the study of organizations and bureaucracy. However, many adaptations of the approach ignore the explicitly historical materialist project embodied in Smith’s conceptualization of ‘ontological shift’ and her assertion that institutional ethnography is a ‘reinterpretation’ of Marx’s epistemology. These readings de-materialize and de-historize IE as a method of inquiry, thus obscuring Smith’s unique approach to ‘Marxist feminism’ and her particular contributions to the study of capitalist social relations. A similar problem exists in adult education scholarship around questions of consciousness, ideology, and praxis; ideology is reduced to thought content and consciousness is returned to an idealist position, fragmenting from its dialectical relation to being, or praxis. In this paper, we revisit key formulations with Smith’s sociology to extend their application to the study of praxis in critical adult education.

Berry production in Alberta: Accessing the market through agritourism

Aleksandra Tymczak studies the berry industry – an expanding industry in Alberta’s agricultural system. Here, she highlights the growing agritourism industry in relation to the opportunities presented to berry producers. On average, it takes two years to get one’s product to market, and the hardest part of getting the product on the shelf is actually distribution. The costs of distribution are a significant challenge because the product must be brought into a warehouse, and producers must conduct distribution themselves until they have scaled up to a particular size. As a result, this restricts producers from selling only within their local areas, following the farmers’ market model. However, producers willing to expand may lack sufficient manpower or energy to sell at multiple farmers’ markets. Once a producer has scaled up beyond the farmers’ market model, they have to determine the product scale and number of retail stores they need. A producer needs to pursue a reasonable market in proportion to their scaling-up capabilities to avoid underachieving once in the retail market.
A novel approach to cancer chemotherapy

A novel approach to cancer chemotherapy

Richard F. Ludueña, Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas Health San Antonio, discusses his innovative approach to cancer chemotherapy, which could significantly enhance its effectiveness. The fundamental limitation to cancer chemotherapy is that cancer cells are our own cells misbehaving. Chemotherapy targets a protein or process that the cancer requires to survive and grow, but normal cells require the same protein or process to survive and grow, limiting chemotherapy’s effectiveness. Also, cancer cells can mutate to become resistant. I propose a two-targeted approach that should harm only cells that require both targets. Most cancer cells fulfill these criteria, but most normal cells do not.

Predictive analytics in the era of big data

Jacob Zahavi, from The Coller School of Management at Tel Aviv University, discusses the components of predictive analytics (PA) and the increasing complexity of PA problems in the world of Big Data. This is the era of Big Data. Big Data are datasets that are too large and complex to handle using traditional data-processing tools and software. Data nowadays comes in huge quantities (volume), in different forms (velocity), and in a multitude of formats (variety). Some also add ‘value’ to this list. While raw data doesn’t have a value of its own, it carries a lot of hidden information essential for decision-making. For example, in marketing, data reflects the characteristics of potential buyers; in healthcare, which symptoms affect certain diseases; in insurance, which customers are more prone to risk; in banking, which customers are more likely to return their loans; and more.

A novel approach to sampling microplastics

Applied Ocean Sciences is creating a sensor that is faster, more efficient, and less expensive than current sampling methods and will be the first sensor to allow near real-time abundance measurements for microplastics in a water sample. Microplastics are turning up everywhere we look for them. Microplastics (plastic particles < 5mm) have been found in various parts of the environment, including the oceans, the atmosphere, soil, and sea ice. They’re also making their way into our food and water, appearing in seafood, fruits, vegetables, beer, soda, tea, sea salt, honey, and both tap and bottled water. Alarmingly, microplastics are also being found within the human body – detected in our blood, lungs, and stool – and even in the placenta and breastmilk, revealing that exposure begins at the earliest stages of development. While research on the effects of microplastics on human health is still relatively preliminary, the harmful impacts of chemicals associated with plastics are well-documented.

This research investigates the influence of device usage intensity and parental supervision on child discipline. A quantitative approach was used, with data collected from 30 respondents. Descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis, were employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that both device usage intensity and parental supervision have significant positive effects on child discipline. The regression analysis indicated that parental supervision had a stronger influence on child discipline than device usage intensity. Furthermore, the ANOVA test confirmed the overall significance of the regression model. Correlation analysis showed a moderate positive relationship between child discipline and device usage intensity, while a stronger relationship was found between child discipline and parental supervision. The study concludes that parental supervision is a more influential factor in improving child discipline than device usage intensity, highlighting the importance of parental involvement in managing children's digital device usage.

In oil production, the high viscosity of crude oil negatively affects the production rate, causing serious problems. Numerous studies are aimed at assessing the properties of various grades of crude oil and their extraction technologies. The main reasons for high viscosity are the presence of solid particles, high concentrations of heavy fractions, and the formation of "water-in-oil" emulsions. This article discusses the mechanisms aimed at reducing the viscosity of oil with a high concentration of solid fractions, the mechanisms of formation and destabilization of emulsions, as well as methods for reducing viscosity.

EXTRACTION OF LEAD (II) IONS FROM WASTE SOLUTIONS AND WASTEWATER BY ELECTROCHEMICAL METHOD
Authors:   Yessenov University Aktau city, Kazakhstan, BUSSURMANOVA A.
Published: January 2025

The problem of extracting heavy and non-ferrous metals from spent solutions of galvanic production is of great importance from the point of view of capturing metals valuable for the national economy and neutralizing industrial wastewater.
Existing methods of extracting lead from spent solutions and wastewater mainly involve the addition of reagents. These methods have some disadvantages: economic unprofitability; does not meet modern environmental requirements; additional pollution with ions and the formation of poorly soluble compounds and the labor intensity of extracting metals from them.
Close to the method proposed by us in technical essence is the use of volume-porous flow electrodes (VPFE) made of carbon fibrous materials. The disadvantage of this method is the high cost of electrodes associated with the use of carbon fibrous materials.
The most advantageous seems to be the electrochemical method proposed by us using lump electrodes with a developed surface. The proposed work presents the results of electrolysis of solutions with an initial lead concentration of 200 mg/l on lump graphite electrodes. The experiments were conducted in a flow mode on bulk lump graphite electrodes in an electrolytic cell. An experimental setup was used to purify waste solutions from lead ions using an electrochemical method with the use of piece electrodes with a developed surface. The electrolyzer setup consists of two glass vessels and an electrolyzer with lump electrodes, which are the cathode, and the graphite rod serves as the anode. The thickness of the lump electrode layer was changed depending on the experimental conditions within 0.5-3 cm.

Geological and hydrodynamic three-dimensional digital models (geological and technological models) are currently widely used to predict the degree of displacement of oil and gas from productive formations, oil recovery or oil recovery coefficient.
Based on these models, the assessment of geological and recoverable hydrocarbon reserves is carried out, and the optimal strategy for additional exploration and development of productive formations is justified. The creation and application of such permanent geological and technological models is one of the main directions for improving the quality of design, management and control of the development of oil and gas and oil fields.
The main indicators of the macro-heterogeneity of the formation are sandiness, fragmentation, and discontinuity of the formation. The discontinuity of the formation can be caused by both the wedging of the formation and its replacement by impermeable rocks.
A consequence of the discontinuity of the formation is the presence of many sand bodies (lenses) with different geometric dimensions both laterally and horizontally, within which fluid movement is possible. The influence of the macro-heterogeneity of the formation is of great importance on the coefficient of impact coverage of the formation. This should be taken into account when designing the development, both at the initial stage and subsequent stages.
The paper presents the possibilities of modeling as a tool for substantiating technical and technological solutions in the process of oil production and taking into account lithological macro-heterogeneity in the construction of digital geological models of oil and gas fields for the tasks of calculating geological and recoverable hydrocarbon reserves, predicting reservoir productivity and monitoring their development.

Currently, about 75-90% of global ammonia production is used to produce fertilizers that help billions of people around the world maintain food production. The potential of ammonia outweighs its use only as a fertilizer, since it can also be used as an energy carrier. The Haber-Bosch process was the first heterogeneous catalytic system introduced into industry, and remains relevant to this day. Understanding the mechanism of this reaction and improving the technology has become an important area of scientific research in the field of catalysis. However, because it consumes a lot of energy due to high operating pressure and temperature, about 2.16 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of ammonia is generated. Currently, about 90% of global production is produced from fossil fuels, and 96% of hydrogen is obtained from steam reforming of methane. Steam reforming of methane produces about 9-10 tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of hydrogen produced. The only producer of ammonia in Kazakhstan is KazAzot JSC, where it is produced by the Haber-Bosch method through the interaction of nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gases. However, this production is the only one in Kazakhstan, so there is an acute shortage of ammonia. To reduce dependence on imports and fluctuations in gas prices, it is important to develop alternative sources of ammonia production in the country. One of the possible solutions is to develop a technology for the synthesis of ammonia from the products of the reforming unit of an oil refinery. This will allow for more efficient use of reforming products and reduce the risks associated with price fluctuations and the availability of imported ammonia.

Hospitals have many potential occupational safety and health (K3) hazards for their nurses. One example is nosocomial infections caused by puncture and/or incision wounds (CTS). Needle Stick Injury (NSI) occurs when hypodermic needles, such as hypodermic syringes, blood draw needles, intravenous syringes, and connecting needles from intravenous administration systems, accidentally puncture the skin. The research method used is a systematic literature review of previous research results. The research results show that the incidence of needle stick injury (NSI) is influenced by several factors. Associated factors include age, minimal experience, participation in training, and acceptance of HB vaccination. Controlling the incidence of needle stick injuries can be done by providing regular training so that nurses can continue to improve their competency and reduce the risk of accidents.

Published: January 2025

Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are commonly used medicines in management of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases. The perception of PPIs as relatively safe contributes to their frequent overprescription and misuse. One of the main reasons for PPIs overprescription is unjustified prophylaxis of bleeding in the course of non-steroid anti inflammatory drugs therapy. Prolonged PPI intake is associated with several side effects due to intestinal dysbiosis, including increased risk of GI and respiratory infections, as well as small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Other reported adverse effects include malabsorption of vitamins and micro- and macroelements, hypergastrinemia, neurological, cardiovascular and renal complications and stomach cancer. The aim of this paper was to assess the scale of misuse and overuse of PPI and to look closely on the potential side effects of treatment with PPIs. However, during the review of the available literature, many of the analyzed studies yielded conflicting results, indicating the need for further in-depth research to draw reliable conclusions.
