Applying the Attrition Model to the Medical System: A Critique of the Current Resistance by the Naturopathic Profession in Canada to the Dominant Paradigm
Authors: Solomonian Leslie , Osborne Bethany
Published: September 2023

The premise and attrition model of resistance proposed by some in the anti-psychiatry movement are relevant to all subspecialties of medicine. Themes of monopolization, capitalization and marginalization harmfully affect the delivery of health care across all domains and minimize systemic and structural contributors to health and disease. Naturopathic medicine offers promise to effectively support individuals and communities in navigating modern obstacles to good health but may, in practice, be ina vertently reinforcing the dominant paradigm. The attrition model offers guidance for a steady, strategic resistance instead.

Authors: Boopalan Deenadayalan , Vijayakumar Venugopal , Ravi Poornima , Narayanasamy Manavalan , Rangarajan Arunthathi , Kuppusamy Maheshkumar
Published: September 2023

Background: The application of cold to the spine is documented as favourable for reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension (HTN). However, hydriatic application in the form of a cold spinal spray (CSS) has not yet been explored.Objective: To find the effectiveness of CSS on cardio autonomic variables among males with HTN.
Methods: One hundred male patients with HTN visiting the outpatient service were included in this randomized controlled trial. A single session of CSS (15°C–19°C) was given to 50 patients for a period of 20 minutes for the study group, and the control group was made to lie down on the spinal spray tub for 20 minutes without any intervention. Baseline blood pressure and short-term heart rate variability (HRV) measurements were obtained prior to the intervention, followed by a subsequent assessment after a 20-minute interval for both groups.
Results: Following 20 minutes of CSS a significant decrease was observed in systolic blood pressure (136.48±14.15 mmHg to 126.20±13.18 mmHg, p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (87.96±6.77 mmHg to 84.06±6.84 mmHg, p<0.006), pulse pressure (48.44±11.99 mmHg to 42.08±10.88 mmHg, p<0.007), and mean arterial pressure (104.09±8.12 mmHg to 98.05±7.88 mmHg, p<0.001). No significant changes were noted in HRV variables in either of the two patient groups.
Conclusion: The current study findings suggest that a single session of CSS intervention could lower both systolic & diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure in male hypertensive patients. Further studies are needed to find the long-term effect of CSS among patients with HTN.
Incidence and Imaging of Colorectal Cancer Between 2015-2020 in Somalia: A Review of 585 Colonoscopy
Authors: Er Sadettin , Kaya Veysel
Published: September 2023

The aim of the study is to determine the frequency and distribution of all colonoscopic pathologies, especially colorectal cancer (CRC), in Somalia between 2015 and 2020. For this retrospective and descriptive study, a total of 760 colonoscopy results were analyzed from the medical records of Somalia Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Training and Research Hospital. We excluded 175 patients with incomplete colonoscopy findings and medical records. Patient characteristics, presence of normal mucosa, presence, characteristics, localization, and histopathology of the lesion were recorded. Abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans were evaluated. The median age of 585 patients (male; n=384, 65.6%) included in the study was 44 years (range; 19-94). 20.5% (n=120) had normal colonoscopy findings and 31.8% (n=186) had benign perianal pathologies (most common hemorrhoids; n=139, 23.8%). In 40.9% (n=239/585) of patients, lesions were detected in the colorectum and biopsy was performed. The number of cases with CRC on colonoscopy was 50 (8.5%), the most common histopathological type was adenocarcinoma (n=40/50; 80%) and the most common localization was rectosigmoid colon (n=37/50; 74%). The median age of CRC cases was 53 years (range, 29-85) and 72% (n=36) were male. The most common morphologic type of adenocarcinoma on CT image was mass-forming (n=35/40; 87.5%). In all patients, the tumor had invaded the bowel wall and periintestinal fat infiltration was present. Lymph node metastases were present in 38% (n=19/50) and distant organ metastases in 18% (n=9/50) of patients with CRC. Our study reveals that colonoscopies in Somalia mostly find perianal lesions (most commonly hemorrhoids), the incidence of CRCs is 8.5%, all CRCs are diagnosed at an advanced stage and require neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Community education and screening programs should be developed to detect CRCs early in the precancerous stage and reduce mortality.
Compressive external bracing in pectus carinatum : Results of the first 100 patients
Authors: ERMERAK Nezih Onur
Published: September 2023

Objective: Pectus carinatum is the second most common chest wall deformity causing psychological problems. There has been a

growing interest in the conservative treatment of the disease in recent years. Here, we present results of the first 100 patients who were

treated with compressive external bracing therapy.

Patients and Methods: A total of one hundred patients who were treated with compressive external bracing between 2017-2023

were reviewed from database. Parameters recorded include demographics, type of the deformity, duration of the treatment time,

complications, and patient satisfaction.

Results: Among 100 patients 88 were male (88%) and 12 were female (12%) and the mean age was 13.3 years (3-19). 76 patients (76%)

had a symmetric pectus carinatum and 24 patients (24%) had asymmetric. 23 (23%) patients had scoliosis, 9 (9%) had kyphosis, 1 (1%)

had Poland Syndrome and 1 (1%) patient had Marfan Syndrome as accompanying anomalies. Quality of Life Questionnaire revealed

94.8 % satisfaction in patients who completed the treatment.

Conclusion: Compressive external bracing is associated with satisfactory results in the treatment of pectus carinatum. This nonsurgical

intervention enables us to treat more patients in younger ages with lesser comorbidity than surgical intervention.

Published: September 2023

Durante a fase de viveiro uma correta fertilização mineral pode ser considerado um dos principais fatores para proporcionar um crescimento satisfatório das mudas. Dentre os nutrientes mais demandados pelas plantas destacam-se o nitrogênio, fósforo e o potássio. Desta maneira, objetivou-se com a realização do presente trabalho avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio na produção de mudas de albízia; e também determinar a melhor dose desses nutrientes para o maior crescimento das mesmas. O trabalho foi conduzido no “Viveiro de Produção de Mudas Florestais” do IFNMG - Campus Salinas. Foi avaliado a resposta da espécie florestal Albízia lebbeck (L.) Benth. à adubação com nitrogênio (50, 150 e 200 mg dm-3), fósforo (150, 450 e 600 mg dm-3) e potássio (50, 150 e 200 mg dm-3). Aos 125 dias após a semeadura foram avaliados a altura da parte aérea, o diâmetro do coleto, a área foliar e o número de folhas de todas as plantas. As mudas de albízia responderam positivamente quando submetidas a dosagens de NPK. As aplicações de nitrogênio e fósforo foram as mais benéficas para o crescimento das mudas de albízia. A espécie se mostrou menos exigente em potássio. Com base nos resultados encontrados, recomendam- se as doses de 200 mg dm-3 de nitrogênio e de 600 mg dm-3 de fósforo. Para o potássio recomenda-se doses variando de 111,1 a 118,3 mg dm-3.

Published: September 2023

A indústria alimentícia cada vez mais se dedica a buscar alternativas para a parcela da população que apresenta casos de intolerância alimentar. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi a produção de massa de macarrão fresca sem glúten enriquecida com a farinha dos brotos comestíveis de coentro, destinada a indivíduos celíacos. Os brotos de coentro foram secos em estufa com circulação forçada de ar na emperatura de 70ºC por 48 horas e triturados até a granulometria de farinha. As farinhas foram submetidas a análise físico-química de pH, umidade e acidez. Para o preparo das massas, foram adicionados 50 g de ovos homogeneizados, 5 mL de óleo de soja, 1,5 g de sal de cozinha e 85 g de farinha. Nas formulações foram usadas misturas da farinha de arroz (sem glúten) com farinha de broto de coentro (A- padrão, B- 5%, C- 2,5 % e D – 1 % de farinha de coentro). Os ingredientes foram homogeneizados manualmente e etapa de amassamento foi realizada com auxílio do cilindro. Em seguida, a massa foi moldada na forma de talharim, apresentando 0,5 cm de largura e 15 cm de comprimento. Foram realizadas análises de pH, acidez e umidade da massa fresca. A farinha do broto de coentro apresentou uma baixa umidade (inferior a 15%), dentro dos parâmetros para farinha de trigo. Quando avaliada a acidez, a farinha de coentro apresentou elevados valores para acidez total (5,05 %) e um pH baixo (5,79), caracterizando a farinha como ácida. Valores de acidez elevado pode alterar diretamente a acidez do produto o qual a farinha será adicionada. Essa influência pode ser observa nos valores da acidez obtido, com aumento significativo de mais de 50% na acidez das massas produzidas com 5% e 2,5 % da farinha de coentro. Em relação a umidade, os valores das massas frescas produzidas estão dentro dos parâmetros legislados (inferior a 35%), não apresentando uma variação estatística através do teste de Tuckey. Conclui-se, portanto, que é possível substituir parcialmente a farinha de arroz pela farinha do broto do coentro, para produção da massa de macarrão fresca.
Ринок землі в Україні: проблеми формування та напрями подальшого розвитку
Authors: Коробка С. В.
Published: September 2023

Одним із найактуальніших питань продовження земельної реформи в нашій державі є створення цивілізованого ринку землі в Україні. Війна змінила географію та ціни на ринку землі, проте попит на сільськогосподарські угіддя має тенденцію до зростати. Причиною цього є релокація підприємств у більш безпечні регіони. Можна погодитися, що в процесі запровадження та становлення ринку необхідно врегулювати та вдосконалити процедури обігу об’єктів ринку землі, вдосконалити інфраструктуру та нормативно-правову базу його діяльності. Варто пам’ятати, що земля є активом у сільському господарстві, тому вона може створити умови для успішного функціонування виробників сільськогосподарської продукції. Ринок землі в Україні на сьогоднішній день перебуває не стадії свого розвитку, тому дослідження з цієї тематики є перспективними, оскільки, попит на купівлю земельних наділів є реальним і буде тільки зростати з виходом юридичних осіб на ринок.
Autonomie alimentaire et volatilité des prix : une comparaison internationale
Authors: Perron Benoit , Poitevin Michel , Adam Arthur , Sozonoff Xenia
Published: September 2023

La pandémie mondiale a forcé les dirigeants politiques ainsi que la population à faire une introspection et à se questionner sur l’efficacité et la solidité des fondations de notre système d’approvisionnement alimentaire. Dans ce contexte hors du commun, l’un des enjeux qui a rapidement été soulevé est celui de l’autonomie alimentaire. Est-ce que l’autonomie alimentaire peut jouer un rôle en tant que mécanisme d’auto-assurance contre des chocs mondiaux sur la demande ou l’offre de produits alimentaires à l’échelle internationale ? L’intuition de base est que ces chocs affectent les prix internationaux et qu’il est possible de se soustraire ou de s’isoler partiellement de ces chocs en produisant localement. Cette étude propose donc à travers une approche rigoureuse et basée sur des données probantes, une amorce d’analyses statistiques/économétriques de l’autonomie alimentaire en tant que mécanisme d’autoassurance, et une comparaison du rôle de cette autonomie alimentaire pour trois régions/pays : le Québec, le Canada et la France. Les auteurs ont utilisé deux approches économétriques différentes : des régressions utilisant une forme réduite et une méthode d’estimation empruntée à la finance de marchés. Les résultats obtenus, peu importe la stratégie d’estimation utilisées, ne sont pas concluants. Si l’autonomie alimentaire semble parfois jouer un rôle d’autoassurance, notamment au Québec, ce rôle est loin d’être universel ou répandu à l’échelle internationale. Aussi, bien que les résultats montrent généralement que le degré d’autonomie alimentaire est associé à une corrélation plus faible entre l’inflation locale et l’inflation mondiale, ils ne sont pas significatifs. Les résultats des estimations ne permettent donc pas de conclure au fort potentiel de l’autonomie alimentaire en tant que mécanisme d’autoassurance. Probablement qu’une stratégie de diversification des chaînes d’approvisionnement (incluant la production locale) serait désirable, mais qu’il est important de conserver les sources étrangères d’approvisionnement.
Take the train and climb the social ladder. The role of geographical mobility in the fight against inequality in Quebec
Authors: Boujija Yacine , Connolly Marie , St-Denis Xavier
Published: September 2023

Despite initiatives to promote equality of opportunity, the reproduction of inequalities from generation to generation has worsened in Quebec in recent decades. Youth who grew up in a less advantaged environment are more likely to remain at the bottom of the ladder as adults. We know that education is a key factor in social mobility. A CIRANO study looks at the issue from another angle, that of geographic mobility. The authors follow the career paths of nearly 1.4 million young people and show that the lack of social mobility affects more strongly young people who grew up outside major cities, particularly those who still live there in their early thirties. This study is the first to examine the influence of geographic mobility on intergenerational income transmission in Quebec. It is based on Statistics Canada’s Intergenerational Income Database (IID), which has a longitudinal structure that tracks children to late stages of adult life. The data come from the Canada Revenue Agency’s tax data files and provide access to parent and child income information from 1978 to 2016. In terms of geographic mobility, analyses show that the deterioration of social mobility in Quebec is mainly the result of two phenomena: on the one hand, the deterioration of the socio-economic status of young people residing outside major urban centres at age 16 and having grown up in a family at the bottom of the income distribution, and improving the situation of young people from the same regions who grew up in families at the top of the income distribution.

Stakeholder Management and Performance of Projects Funded by The Compassion International in Busia County, Kenya
Authors: Mulama Joseph , Sang Paul
Published: September 2023

Purpose: It has been noted that not more than 50 percent of all the Compassion International Kenya Assisted Projects (CIKAPs) succeed in their operations within the first year of operation. This prevalence of the CIKAPs has yet to optimize poverty alleviation, given the 16.8 percent of the poverty levels in Busia County Kenya. This hinders the implementation of their projects thus making them not realize their intended outcomes. Thus, the study analyzed the effect of stakeholder management on the performance of CIKAPs in Busia County Kenya.

Methodology: The research design for the current study was a descriptive research design. The population included 16 CIKAPs in Busia County Kenya. The study focused on a total of 52 CIKAPs staff in in Busia County Kenya. A census survey was utilized on all the 52 CIKAPs staff in Busia County Kenya. Questionnaires were the research instrument. The researcher carried out pre-testing of the questionnaires for the Compassion International Kenya Assisted Projects in Vihiga County since it was not part of the selected scope of the main study. Encoding was done by assigning integer rankings to previously altered data in order to give the data significance using SPSS v26.0.

Results: The study found that stakeholder identification, stakeholder risk assessment, stakeholder communication and stakeholder compensation have a positive and statistically significant relationship with project performance.

Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: From the findings, the study recommended that to ensure good performance of projects funded by Compassion International in Busia County, Kenya, it is important to focus on improving stakeholder identification, stakeholder risk assessment, stakeholder communication, and stakeholder compensation. Overall, these recommendations aim to enhance stakeholder engagement, mitigate risks, improve communication, and ensure fair compensation, ultimately contributing to the successful performance of projects funded by Compassion International in Busia County, Kenya
Effect of Shape of Raft and Relative Density of Sand on Carrying Capacity of Model Piled Raft Foundation
Authors: Patel Arpita Vimlesh , Joshi Nitin H
Published: September 2023

A pile-raft foundation proves to be an economical foundation in many situations as compared to a pile foundation, but its analysis is complicated because of interactions between the pile, the raft, and the soil. This research paper presents the experimental study on an axially loaded model raft and piled raft foundation on sandy soil with different shapes of the raft (square, circular, rectangular, and trapezoidal). The study was carried out by varying the relative density of the sand bed (40%, 60%, and 80%). The spacing between piles was kept 7d for all model piled-raft foundations (MPRF). Initial Yield Load (IYL) and Final Yield Load (FYL) of MPRF were calculated as per the Poulos-Davis-Randolph (PDR) philosophy. It was observed that as the relative density of sand increases, the IYL and FYL of piled raft foundations of all shapes increase. The IYL and FYL were observed to increase with an increase in the relative density of sand in the MPRF for all shapes of raft. The higher IYL and FYL were observed mostly in MPRF with a square raft.

Authors: Yadav Varun , Ganguly Rajiv
Published: September 2023

Emerging economies have improved due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, often causing environmental issues. Air Pollution is one of the major environmental problems experienced due to this phenomenon. The problem is further compounded due to increase in number of vehicles leading to increase in air pollutants concentrations. This study examines the effects of vehicular emissions on urban air quality and public health focusing on the impacts of the air pollution. In particular, a vulnerable analysis (VA) has been presented for Kanpur city. The VA was conducted for the study period of five months for the year 2021 wherein the data was collected from eight sites in Kanpur City. The pollutants considered for the study was PM10, SO2 and NO2. It was observed from the study that the average concentrations of PM10 exceeded the NAAQS standards at all of the sites. However, the average concentrations SO2 were found to be well within the prescribed standards. The average concentrations of NO2 were exceeded at 5 of the 8 selected locations. The pollutant PM10 was primarily responsible for raising the vulnerability index of Kanpur city.
Dynamic Analysis of Multiple Fire Domino Effects for Better Environmental Safety and Health Management
Authors: Raveendran Anagha , Renjith V R , Madhu G
Published: September 2023

Fire is a major hazard which frequently occurs in any flammable chemical processing industry leading to severe injuries, fatalities and environmental pollution. Fire induced domino accidents are of serious concern since its escalation to multiple target equipment results in more severe multiple fire scenario. Such multiple fire scenario in industrial clusters located at densely populated environment is a major threat to health and safety of human. Dynamic analysis of multiple fire domino effects is significant since the time to failure and start of fire at each equipment occurs at different times. A quantitative analysis of the dynamic variation in time to failure and failure probabilities of storage tanks during multiple fire domino effects is done. The concept of critical thermal dose is applied in this study for the estimation of dynamic time to failure of each vulnerable storage tank considering maximum synergistic effects based on the temporal variation in the intensity of heat radiation received by them. Improved probit equations are utilised for the calculation of failure probabilities of vulnerable storage tanks as a function of dynamic time to failure. The obtained results enhance timely implementation of accident mitigation measures to reduce associated health, safety and environment issues.

Objective: to determine the effect of active stretching on reducing plantar fasciitis pain in Sales Promotion Girl (SPG) Ramayana Makassar Town Square (MTOS).
 
Method: a quasi-experimental research design method. This study was carried out with a pretest-posttest design using a control group. The pretest was carried out in both groups, followed by active stretching interventions in the form of Active Calf Stretch and Achilles Tendon Stretch in the experimental group, while the control group was only given intervention in the form of Achilles Tendon Stretch. After that, a posttest was carried out in both groups. The population in this study is the entire SPG in Ramayana MTos. The sample in this study amounted to 60 SPGs which were determined using the Non-probability sampling method where all members of the sample were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The collected data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test.
 
Results: The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed a p value = 0.001 or a p value <0.05, which means that there is an effect of active stretching exercises on reducing plantar fasciitis pain. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an effect of active stretching on reducing plantar fascia pain.
 
Conclusion: this study has shown that active stretching exercises significantly reduce plantar fasciitis pain among Sales Promotion Girls (SPGs) at Ramayana Makassar Town Square (MTos). The findings underscore the efficacy of incorporating active stretching interventions to alleviate discomfort in this specific group.
 
Implications of the research: The demonstrated efficacy of active stretching exercises in alleviating plantar fasciitis pain offers a practical solution for enhancing the occupational health and well-being of Sales Promotion Girls (SPGs) and similar professionals. By integrating these exercises into their routines, employers and individuals can potentially mitigate the impact of pain on job performance and overall comfort.
 
Originality/value: This research offers a distinct and original contribution by examining the impact of active stretching exercises specifically on Sales Promotion Girls (SPGs) afflicted with plantar fasciitis pain. The focus on this specific occupational group provides a novel perspective within the context of pain management and occupational health. By investigating the efficacy of active stretching interventions tailored to the needs of SPGs, the research brings a fresh perspective to addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals in roles that involve prolonged standing and walking.

Why environmental sustainability requires us to focus on our handprint – and write about it
Authors: van Bree Egid
Published: September 2023

Environmental sustainability has gained increasing attention in the healthcare sector – and likewise, in medical journals. Historically, September 2021 marked an interesting event as over 200 medical journals conjointly published a call for emergency action to limit global temperature increase. Much has continued to happen since then, with major medical journals frequently publishing on the health effects of environmental change and growth of dedicated daughter journals such as the Lancet Planetary Health. Why has this interest been growing so rapidly and how might medical writers positively shape its development?

I sincerely thank them for their avant-garde mindset and for producing this AI-some issue. Robots were supposedly created to perform the 3D tasks – the dirty (e.g., declogging sewage systems), the dangerous (e.g., defusing bombs), and the dull (e.g., drudgery of repetitive assembly work). At least that’s how it was for many years. More recently, robotics has been coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), and taking alliteration even further, more D’s have been added to their tasks, including the dear (i.e., expensive) and the difficult. These last two are distressing to many – will we soon be demoted, and eventually displaced?

Plagiarism damages the biomedical academic publication domain. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rising hope in academic plagiarism hunting. However, new AI-based tools are available online to assist with plagiarising! This article presents plagiarism throughout history, especially in medicine, and the promises of AI to detect a new type of plagiarism, namely Aigiarism. The danger of the above-mentioned AI-based services to help in paraphrasing copied texts is also highlighted, including some proposed solutions.
Current clinical trial disclosure landscape in Asia
Authors: Lee Zuo Yen
Published: September 2023

The transparency and disclosure landscape in Asia has been rapidly evolving during the past decade. With respect to clinical trial registries, China launched its national registry, ChinaDrugTrials.org.cn, in 2013; South Korea introduced the new clinical trial disclosure platform through its Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in 2019; whilst Japan unified its three existing primary registries into a single clinical trial registry – Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT) – in 2020. We provide an overview of the national clinical trial registries and the trial results disclosure practices for 4 Asian countries – China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Published: September 2023

The Communicating with the Public Special Interest Group (CwP SIG) held its first Meet and Share session as an open interactive forum on October 25, 2022. The session consisted of presentations by SIG Chair Lisa Chamberlain James and panellists and SIG volunteers Sara Ferrão, Adeline Rosenberg, and myself, followed by a thought-provoking discussion with an audience of about 30 attendees. Lisa introduced the SIG and was the session moderator. The panellists gave a brief overview of the types of public-facing documents, spread across the main specialisations within medical writing, that a professional medical communicator could be expected to develop. The objective of the session was to formally introduce the SIG, to share what we want to do, and to get input from the audience to help refine our aims.

No decorrer dos últimos anos, com a expansão da indústria de aparelhos eletrônicos, tornou-se necessário o desenvolvimento de microprocessadores cada vez mais velozes e robustos para execução de softwares que necessitem de mais recursos. Nesse contexto se faz necessário repensar a estrutura, bem como, a arquitetura dos processadores que foram desenvolvidos anteriormente. Neste projeto foi construído o protótipo de um processador para a execução de operadores lógicos e de conjuntos que realizam a soma de números binários compostos por, até, 4 bits. O protótipo foi projetado em Arduino, que é um hardware livre, e, os componentes eletrônicos fixados em uma placa de ensaio. Da forma estabelecida, o processador atua como uma calculadora simples que possui a capacidade de executar operações de adição utilizando sistema binário, que é a base do armazenamento, transmissão e processamento de informação em meios digitais. Os resultados das operações efetuadas são, também, apresentados no sistema binário a fim de não retirar o foco do protótipo para as conversões entre os sistemas binários e decimal. Para isso, são utilizados quatro componentes emissores de luz que representam os quatro bits que escrevem o resultado da adição, onde, a luz do componente acesa representa o dígito um e apagada representa o dígito zero. A base do funcionamento deste protótipo não somente recria a estrutura do primeiro processador comercial, mas também serve de base para montagem de sistemas mais complexos.

Published: September 2023

Este resumo científico apresenta uma análise crítica da implementação das cotas raciais no ensino superior brasileiro, sob a perspectiva da Sociologia Jurídica. O estudo examina a relevância e os desafios da política de cotas como resposta às históricas desigualdades sociais e educacionais no Brasil. A partir de uma justificativa fundamentada na necessidade de compreender os impactos dessas medidas na promoção da igualdade e da diversidade, esta pesquisa busca contribuir para o enriquecimento do campo da Sociologia Jurídica, oferecendo insights valiosos para a formulação de políticas públicas informadas. A pesquisa baseou-se na coleta criteriosa de dados provenientes de fontes bibliográficas, como livros, revistas, teses, dissertações e anais de eventos científicos, obtidos por meio de bases de dados acadêmicos e o Google Acadêmico. Por meio dessa abordagem, o estudo analisou a complexa interseção entre direitos fundamentais, igualdade, diversidade e justiça social, considerando a eficácia das cotas raciais na inclusão de grupos historicamente marginalizados. Ao adotar uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, este trabalho compreende a importância de avaliar tanto o aspecto sociológico quanto o jurídico das cotas raciais, examinando suas implicações legais, políticas e sociais. A análise crítica das políticas de cotas contribui para o aprimoramento das estratégias de promoção da igualdade e da diversidade no sistema educacional brasileiro, ao mesmo tempo em que levanta reflexões sobre os limites e desafios da discriminação positiva em busca de uma sociedade mais equitativa e justa.
AS POSSÍVEIS DIFICULDADES NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DE ALUNOS COM DEFICIÊNCIAS INTELECTUAIS NO CONTEXTO DO ENSINO REGULAR

Há vários anos, fala-se que o Brasil deu um grande passo educacional quando colocou 95% de suas crianças na escola. Mas não se diz que se aumenta pouco a porcentagem dos que terminam o Ensino Médio, nem que não se melhora a qualidade da formação dos poucos alunos que chegam até o final da educação de base. Concentra-se o discurso no acesso, esquecendo-se o sucesso. O objetivo geral é elaborar um procedimento que atenda a demanda dos professores do Ensino Fundamental junto aos alunos com deficiências intelectuais em sala de aula de ensino regular. A metodologia utilizada foi de revisão de literatura e foi possível concluir que os educadores cada vez mais acreditam que aprender não é transferir conhecimentos acumulados, pois envolve a construção de significados que se dá na interação entre alunos e professores, torna-se claro que a aprendizagem só ocorre eficazmente se a motivação adequada para aprender for desenvolvida, desde cedo, nos estudantes. Observa-se que os efeitos positivos e duradouros na motivação para aprender dos alunos apenas serão alcançados em conjunto com mudanças nas crenças dos professores, no clima de sala e na filosofia de ensino, como um todo. Conclui-se que a relação entre cognição e afetividade mesmo que em paralelo, são impossíveis de se separar, porque, ambas possuem funções bem definidas, e quando integradas permitem ao indivíduo atingir níveis de aprendizado cada vez mais elevados tanto no sentido intelectual e social.

Knowing the appropriate harvest point is essential for the producer to guarantee the quality of fruits to be offered to consumers. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of the harvest point on the physical-chemical and sensory qualities of fruits of a new pineapple cultivar, BRS Sol Bahia, obtained by the breeding program of Embrapa Cassava & Fruits. This cultivar has been registered at the National Cultivar Registration of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture (RNC-MAPA) and is in the final validation phase for technical recommendation for cultivation. The fruits were harvested at the following maturation stages: “green ripe” (completely green skin), “painted” (up to 25% of yellow-orange skin), “colored” (with up to 50% of completely yellow skin) and “yellow” (more than 50% of yellow skin) and evaluated for mass and dimensions, physical-chemical characteristics, sensory acceptance of color, aroma, flavor, texture/firmness, overall acceptance, intensity of sweetness, acidity and firmness attributes and purchase intention. Fruit mass and soluble solids (SS) contents and the SS/titratable pulp acidity ratio increased with advancing maturation. Most consumers preferred the acidity (53%) and sweetness (63%) of the fruits in the “colored” stage and their texture in the “yellow” stage (75%). The physical-chemical characteristics and the sensory quality of the fruits indicate the “colored” stage as the ideal harvesting point for fruits of this pineapple cultivar. However, this result needs to be confirmed by studies on the resistance to transport and the conservation of the fruits in the post-harvest phase until reaching the consumer's table.

O processo de conhecer está conectado ao fazer pedagógico no ambiente escolar e ao processo de ensino e de aprendizagem, por isso, o tema deste trabalho é a utilização das metodologias ativas na educação básica a partir de Maturana. Com ênfase no tema apresentado, especificou-se o objetivo do trabalho: analisar a importância das metodologias ativas no ambiente escolar como forma de contribuir com o processo de ensino e de aprendizagem. Para alcançar o objetivo, aplicou-se um instrumento de pesquisa por meio do Google forms aos professores de sete escolas do extremo sul catarinense e do litoral norte gaúcho, desses vinte e um retornaram para formar a base da presente pesquisa. Quanto à metodologia, este artigo apresenta um estudo qualitativo no qual delimita-se a pesquisa aplicada sob a ótica de um estudo de caso, com base nos aspectos exploratório e bibliográfico. Pode-se constatar que a maioria dos professores conhecem as metodologias ativas e de alguma maneira utilizam-nas ou já as utilizaram. No entanto, é preciso abrir mais espaços de discussão e formação nas instituições para que tais metodologias aconteçam de forma mais efetiva.
