Comparative Phytochemical Screening and Estimation of Bioactive Constituents of Leaves of Lagerstroemia parviflora, Gardenia latifolia and Terminalia tomentosa
Authors: Budholiya Prabhakar , Sharma Hemant Kumar
Published: September 2024

Medicinal plants have bioactive compounds which are used for curing of various human diseases and also play an important role in healing. Secondary constituents contain alkaloids, flavonoids, phenol, saponin, steroids and tannins. Medicinal plants have anticancer, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antidiuretic and anti-inflammation activities. The increasing interest in powerful biological activity of secondary metabolites outlined the necessity of determining their contents in medicinal plants.  Gardenia latifolia (G. latifolia Rubiaceae) is commonly known as Indian boxwood or Ceylon boxwood, is a densely foliaceous small tree that occurs throughout the greater parts of Indian common in deciduous forests along the streams. The stem bark and fruits are reported to be used in the treatment of various ailments such as snake bite, skin diseases, stomach pains, caries in humans and ephemeral fever in live stocks. Terminalia tomentosa (T. tomentosa Combretaceae) occurs frequently in Indonesia, Malaysia, China and India as wasteland weed and also found in most parts of the world with a warm climate in dry, sandy and alkaline soils.  The powdered leaves are useful for fast healing of wounds, as purgative, to treat liver problems, to promote sexual health, to relieve stomach ache, headache, also applied in sprain to ease swelling and pain. In Indian Ayurvedic system, Lagerstroemia parviflora (L. parviflora, Lythraceae) are well-known plants used for major and minor ailments. The aim of the present study is to examine leaf of G. latifolia, T. tomentosa and L. parviflora for phytochemical profile. Qualitative analysis of various phytochemical constituents and quantitative analysis of total phenolics and flavonoids were determined by the well-known test protocol available in the literature. Quantitative analysis of phenolic and flavonoids was carried out by Folins Ciocalteau reagent method and aluminium chloride method respectively. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, fixed oil and fats. The present study concluded that the crude extract of G. latifolia, T. tomentosa and L. parviflora is a rich source of secondary phytoconstituents which impart significant antioxidant potential. T
Development and Characterization of Mucoadhesive Nanoparticles of Topiramate for Nasal Administration
Authors: Chopade Shwetal Nilkanth , Shukla Shivakant , Singhai Akhilesh Kumar
Published: September 2024

Nasal drug delivery has been recognized as a promising route for delivery of therapeutic compounds including biopharmaceuticals. It has been demonstrated that absorption of drugs can enhance by using absorption enhancers or increasing the drug residence time in the nasal cavity. Mucoadhesive polymers can serve both functions. The residence time in the nasal cavity is considerably increased for nanoparticles compared to solutions. Topiramate (TPM) is used alone or with other medications to prevent and control seizures (epilepsy). This medication is also used to prevent migraine headaches and decrease how often you get them. TPM will not treat a migraine headache once it occurs. The purpose of the present study was to prepare and evaluate mucoadhesive chitosan nanoparticles of TPM for the nasal administration by ionic gelation method. Nanoparticles were subjected to various characterization techniques such as FTIR, particle size, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), drug entrapment efficiency and zeta potential are also determined for the developed formulations. The nanoparticles exhibited mucoadhesive properties, which diminished with increasing drug content. The nanoparticles with a particle size range between 45and 62nm exhibited excellent mucoadhesive properties. Stability study at various storage temperature was also done in which the prepared formulation showed an improved stability. The zeta potential of the best chitosan preparation (F4) was found to be -35.5mV, which confirms the stability of prepared nanosuspension. Mucoadhesive chitosan nanoparticles can be a promising carrier for nasal delivery of TPM found to have high encapsulation efficiency and predetermined in vitro release profile.

El tiempo es cerebro: acciones de emergencia durante el ataque cerebro vascular
Authors: Figueredo Hincapié Daniela Alejandra , Morales Rozo Erika Fernanda , Hernández Santacoloma Hernán Darío , García Agudelo Lorena , González Calderón Iván Camilo
Published: September 2024

Introducción: el ataque cerebrovascular (ACV) o ictus es una emergencia médica que requiere de una atención inmediata para mejorar el pronóstico del paciente. Además, necesita una adecuada identificación de las manifestaciones clínicas y disminución de los tiempos de atención y manejo para reducir las discapacidades que trae consigo.
Material y métodos: estudio observacional, y retrospectivo que usó los datos de un hospital de Colombia, del registro RES-Q y también los de la iniciativa Angels de los años 2021 y 2022.
Resultados: se registraron 287 casos, el promedio de edad fue de 67,85 años, el 51,92?% eran hombres y el 48,08?% mujeres; los factores de riesgo predominantes fueron: hipertensión arterial en un 58,88?%, diabetes en un 57,49?%, hiperlipidemia en un 5,22?% y tabaquismo en el 3,48?% de los casos; el 83,48?% eran de origen isquémico y el 16,52?% hemorrágico; las medias del tiempo fueron: inicio de síntomas y llegada al servicio 304,95 minutos, tiempo puerta-imagen 53,02 minutos y tiempo puerta-aguja 66,50 minutos. Al 20,70?% de los eventos isquémicos les realizaron trombólisis; un 69,30?% de los isquémicos ingresaron fuera del periodo de ventana y un 10?% no cumplieron con los otros criterios. Finalmente, el 8,25?% de los pacientes fallecieron.
Discusión: los avances en el tratamiento del ACV, donde el tiempo es cerebro, continúan vigentes, pues el tiempo sigue siendo una variable determinante en el resultado. En los análisis recientes, se ha determinado que el tiempo puerta-aguja debe ser inferior a 30 minutos. La escala de NIHSS ayuda a direccionar el diagnóstico y a decidir el manejo.
Conclusiones: se evidencia que los tiempos de atención están por fuera de las metas, sin embargo, se apunta a mejorar las acciones y ajustar el proceso para disminuir el tiempo en el cual se realiza la atención y el manejo indicado, según el tipo de ACV y así prevenir discapacidades futuras y secuelas que disminuyan la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
El alma/cuerpo toba y la espiritualidad ranquel, entre religión y animismos
Authors: Dos Santos Antonela , Tola Florencia
Published: September 2024

En este texto exploraremos la manera en que conceptos como animismo u ontología, de larga tradición en antropología, han sido movilizados para dar cuenta de las relaciones que los indígenas tobas y ranqueles de Argentina establecen con ciertos seres no-humanos y con el entorno. Buscamos mostrar que, aunque hayan utilizado el mismo término (animismo), las etnografías sobre estos pueblos han ido corriéndose desde las preocupaciones por los fenómenos religiosos y la distinción entre cuerpo y alma, o entre trascendencia e inmanencia, hacia acercamientos interesados por la forma en que estos indígenas componen, desde hace siglos, su mundo en relación con diversos agentes no-indígenas. Sostendremos que esta particularidad nos incita a realizar pequeñas modificaciones a las teorías sobre animismos y ontologías —que han tendido a perpetuar la distinción entre el Occidente moderno y los mundos indígenas, ambos concebidos como colectivos homogéneos— para que ellas puedan explicar también la forma en que tobas y ranqueles componen, con hibridez y contradicciones, sus mundos del in-between.
La Alianza de Mujeres Indígenas en Ciudad: agencia cultural y participación política desde la creación audiovisual
Authors: Triana Gallego Laura Ximena
Published: September 2024

En este artículo examino la conformación de la Alianza de Mujeres Indígenas en Ciudad (AMIC) y sus creaciones audiovisuales. Se trata de un grupo de mujeres que migran a Bogotá desde otras regiones de Colombia por causa del conflicto armado o en busca de mejores oportunidades. A partir de una iniciativa de formación audiovisual que comenzó en 2013, ellas encuentran un escenario para expresar diversas situaciones de discriminación, desigualdad y exclusión social y política. Igualmente, este proceso creativo activa la confianza individual y la articulación colectiva para lograr mayores posibilidades de incidencia política y, así, mejorar la propia calidad de vida. Desde una perspectiva transdisciplinar, en combinación con la aplicación de métodos etnográficos y audiovisuales, analizo tres producciones audiovisuales de esas mujeres y las narrativas de sus experiencias. De esta manera, realzo las conexiones entre el lenguaje audiovisual y la oralidad amerindia que les han permitido transformar situaciones adversas y crear sus propias representaciones.
Zmiyovskaya balka (Rostov-on-Don): Memory of the Holocaust and competition of victims
Authors: Kirzyuk Anna
Published: September 2024

The paper focuses on the memory conflicts surrounding Zmiyovskaya balka in Rostov-on-Don, which became the site of the most mass extermination of Jews on the territory of the RSFSR during the Nazi occupation. The local authorities resist attempts to designate Zmiyovskaya balka as a Holocaust memorial site. The reasons for this resistance lie in Soviet memory politics and contemporary historical policy. The Soviet narrative of the war, where Jews were not singled out as a separate category of victims or were portrayed as victims of lesser significance than Slavs, still influences the historical perceptions of citizens. Many are still unaware that the Nazis had a special policy towards Jews and are convinced that the invaders were exterminating all Soviet citizens on equal grounds. This influence of the Soviet narrative is fueled by modern memory politics. Although Russia, unlike the USSR, has long recognized the Holocaust, the idea of the exclusivity of the Soviet, Russian, or Slavic sacrifice in the WWII is as important to modern Russia as it was to the USSR. The status of the people that suffered the greatest losses in WWII is the symbolic capital that many Russians are used to consider their own. Therefore, the classical concept of the Holocaust, as an event unique not only in the history of WWII, but also in world history, hardly fits into the modern Russian narrative of the war. Attempts to designate the memorial on Zmiyovskaya balka as a Holocaust memorial are perceived by many officials and ordinary citizens as an attack on the status of the main victim of the war.
Blended online learning: Students' perception and its effect on learning outcomes abstract algebra
Authors: Yumiati Yumiati , Putra Harry Dwi , Haji Saleh
Published: September 2024

In the current digital era, the implementation of blended online learning faces challenges in understanding students' perceptions and its impact on learning outcomes, particularly in Abstract Algebra. This issue is crucial to investigate, as the shift in teaching methods can influence the comprehension of complex algebraic concepts. This research aims to investigate students' perceptions and learning outcomes in abstract algebra courses of blended and asynchronous online learning. The research method used was quasi-experiment. The subject of 27 students is available without being randomly selected. Research instruments using questionnaires and tests. The test consists of eight essay questions. The questionnaire includes 27 closed-ended questions and six open-ended questions. The results showed that students perceived Abstract Algebra subjects as difficult or very difficult. Most students needed help to study the module due to material difficulty thoroughly. In addition, asynchronous online learning is ineffective compared to blended online learning. All students wanted the tutorial asynchronous and synchronous combined (blended online learning). Most students carry out online learning at home using a smartphone device. Students who use blended online learning obtain significantly higher learning outcomes than students who only take it asynchronously.
Oralidade, leitura e produção textual na perspectiva da revisão dialógica a partir do gênero discursivo canção para alunos do 3º ano do ensino médio
Authors: Pereira Marcele Monteiro , Da Silva Vitório Gonçalves
Published: September 2024

Neste artigo, realizado no âmbito da Linguística Aplicada no contexto de língua materna, apresentamos uma proposta de aula voltada para o 3° ano do ensino médio cuja prioridade está na abordagem da oralidade, da leitura e da escrita de maneira dialógica para que todos tenham a oportunidade de participar da construção de sentido do texto. Assim sendo, objetivamos compartilhar uma alternativa prática e contextualizada de ensino à luz das concepções de relações dialógicas, valoração e entonação presentes nas obras do Círculo de Bakhtin. Para tal atividade, propomos a utilização do gênero discursivo canção e da obra “O meu guri”, de Chico Buarque, pois permite a análise de temas sociais profundos quando se explora suas várias possibilidades de sentido que podem ser expressas por meio da tríade oralidade-leitura-escrita. Ao longo das cinco etapas elaboradas para o desenvolvimento das atividades que compõem a proposta de aula em questão, os alunos poderão: 1) ler e interagir com a letra da canção de formas diversas; 2) interagir com o texto também a partir da valoração; 3) ser direcionados para a produção de texto; 4) praticar a revisão e a reescrita; e 5) ter a devolutiva de seu texto com os comentários do professor para o seu devido aprimoramento. O planejamento de tais etapas volta-se para a exploração de um gênero discursivo com a finalidade de implementar atividades eficazes que possibilitem aos estudantes sair da posição de simples repetidores do saber e iniciar uma interação significativa com o texto.
MODUS VIVENDI: TRADITION IN TRANSITION, SHIFTING LANDSCAPE OF PESANTREN, AND RATIONALITY ON INDUSTRIALIZED COMMUNITIES
Authors: Mustofa Imron , Hadi Abd. , A’la Bassam Abul
Published: September 2024

This study investigates substantial shifts in the rational paradigm and political identities in the Kaliwungu Industrial Area. Complexity, characterized by shifting values and emerging global identities, has co-opted the mode of existence of communities in sophisticated industrial countries. The dilemma between preserving local customs and the demands of globalization presents a distinct challenge. This study takes a qualitative approach, collecting data through approaches such as in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and critical analysis. Data sources are purposefully chosen from various strata of industrial society in order to acquire a comprehensive understanding. The investigation validates intriguing facts about Kaliwungu society. Based on the diffusion perspective, the result shows thatthere is a trend toward higher spiritual ideals in deciding societal positions, including political decisions. This plainly rules out the possibility of an exponential link between hedonism and industrialization. Furthermore, population movement from different origins to a given location is difficult, necessitating social harmonization and integration processes. Similarly, spiritual ideals, mental patterns, and social attitudes interact and change as a logical result of everyday exposure to modern values.

Los desechos obtenidos en la producción de hongos comestibles no son aprovechados, generando contaminación debido a la falta de conciencia ambiental, el déficit de recursos económicos y la ausencia de la capacidad técnica para llevar a cabo su disposición final. Se realizó la evaluación de la calidad de un abono orgánico obtenido a partir del sustrato agotado de la producción de Orellana (Pleurotus pulmonarius) en diferentes tratamientos durante un periodo de tiempo de tres meses; se implementó la lombriz roja californiana (Eisenia foetida) con el fin de descomponer el sustrato, analizando la estructura, composición y porosidad del compostaje obtenido. Fueron realizaron tres tratamientos: residuos orgánicos al 100%, sustrato 50% - orgánico 50% y sustrato Orellana a 100%, respectivamente, teniendo como objetivo la evaluación de variables (la temperatura y pH) en función del tiempo. Mediante pruebas de análisis del suelo se determinó el mejor tratamiento, el cual fue el T3 (100% residuos de Orellana); este demostró un mejor comportamiento en cuanto a su composición final. A partir de estos resultados se pudo concluir que el sustrato se puede implementar como biocompost para el manejo de residuos generados en el proceso de obtención de la Orellana (Pleurotus pulmonarius). Se demuestra que los desechos de la producción de hongos comestibles, en este caso, los residuos de Orellana, pueden ser aprovechados de manera efectiva en la producción de abono orgánico. Esto proporciona una solución sostenible para la gestión de los residuos generados en esta industria, fomentando prácticas más sostenibles.

La patencia infundibular es una enfermedad presente en los dientes equinos, consecuencia de malformaciones en el desarrollo debido a un suministro sanguíneo limitado, afectando la cementogenesis y la actividad ameloblastica. El presente trabajo reporta un equino, hembra, sin raza definida, 2 años de edad, encaminado al centro de odontología equina (COE, FMVZ/USP). Al examen clínico fue evidenciada una fístula externa al lado derecho de la cabeza, junto con fractura del elemento dental 508 y exposición precoz del 108. En el examen radiográfico de esta zona, se evidencio un área de esclerosis, lisis y absceso apical, junto con una comunicación retrógrada del infundíbulo. Este caso demuestra que una de las causas de infección apical, en los premolaes y molares maxilares, es la patencia del ápice infundibular; su tratamiento puede ser conservativo mediante el desbridamiento y posterior restauración infundibular. Sin embargo, el procedimiento más utilizado es la extracción del diente involucrado.
MICHAEL MATTHEWS E A ARTICULAÇÃO ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS-HISTÓRIA DA CIÊNCIA NO BRASIL EM ARTIGOS PUBLICADOS ENTRE 2002 E 2021: COMO CAMINHAMOS PARA UMA PERSPECTIVA SOCIOPOLÍTICA?
Authors: Carvalho Taina , Guerra Andreia
Published: September 2024

A articulação entre História da Ciência e o ensino de ciências tem percorrido um longo trajeto na Educação em Ciências. Entre os inúmeros trabalhos nesse campo, o estudo de Michael Matthews, de 1992, teve um impacto significativo ao propor defesas para a inclusão de abordagens históricas nas aulas de ciências, que continuam sendo relevantes até os dias atuais. Paralelamente, nos últimos anos, têm sido evidenciadas perspectivas sociopolíticas na Educação em Ciências, que direcionam os esforços para enfrentar questões fundamentais de nosso tempo. É diante dessas duas premissas que esta pesquisa analisa o movimento da articulação entre História da Ciência e ensino, com foco nas aproximações e distanciamentos das defesas estabelecidas por Michael Matthews, em 1992, e como isso se relaciona com a virada sociopolítica da Educação em Ciências. Para alcançar esse objetivo, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica em um período de 20 anos (de 2002 a 2021), considerando dois periódicos nacionais: o Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física e a revista Ciência & Educação. O estudo abordou temáticas que têm suas raízes no trabalho de Matthews, de 1992, como a mudança de concepções sobre a ciência, a aprendizagem de conceitos científicos e o enfoque sociocultural, buscando compreender as dinâmicas e reflexões presentes na literatura acadêmica dessa área ao longo do tempo e como a visão sociopolítica, advinda de perspectivas educacionais, se insere nessa articulação. Ao final, com base nos resultados encontrados, propomos como a virada sociopolítica pode ser um caminho teórico-metodológico para abordar questões contemporâneas no contexto do ensino de ciências.
DIÁLOGOS ENTRE A ASTROFÍSICA OFICIAL E OS CONHECIMENTOS DOS YANOMAMI E DE OUTRAS CULTURAS: O QUE HÁ DE COMUM É CASUAL?
Authors: Pessoa Campello Queiroz Gloria Regina , Catarino Giselle Faur de Castro , Almeida Barbosa Lima Maria da Conceição
Published: September 2024

A motivação para as reflexões feitas neste artigo surge com os movimentos crescentes de negação dos conhecimentos científicos, tema central proposto para o International Historical Philosophical Science Teaching Latin American (IHPSTLA) de 2023. Em um mundo marcado por grandes desigualdades sociais e desafios causados pela exploração ambiental capitalista, buscamos contribuir com potencialidades que o campo da História, Filosofia e Sociologia das Ciências pode trazer para o Ensino de Ciências nos enfrentamentos aos movimentos negacionistas. Partimos de abordagens de possíveis pontos de convergência entre os conhecimentos do povo Yanomami e os da Ciência ocidental, envolvendo cosmogenias hegemônicas e a desse povo originário, sem tratar as diferentes produções de conhecimento como únicas ou semelhantes. Entendemos que, ao valorizar outras cosmopercepções, promovemos um ensino com maior justiça social e que combate as violações aos direitos humanos desse povo vulnerabilizado. O conjunto de atividades aqui apresentado, e ainda em desenvolvimento em um curso de licenciatura em Física de uma Universidade pública do Rio de Janeiro, surgiu de um projeto mais amplo voltado para a formação inicial integrando Educação em Ciências e Educação em Direitos Humanos. Uma vez que a construção teórico-metodológica vem acontecendo de forma dinâmica e cíclica e que a proposta conta com a participação de todos os sujeitos envolvidos no processo, escolhemos a pesquisa-ação como referencial metodológico para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. As atividades, desenvolvidas junto aos licenciandos, envolveram diálogo entre culturas, discussões sobre o papel das imagens e dos sonhos nas diferentes formas de produção de conhecimento e a elaboração de projetos pedagógicos como forma de avaliação. Nos projetos criados pelos estudantes, encontramos o reconhecimento de que as ações dos povos originários caminham para a preservação das condições de vida nas florestas e no planeta Terra de forma mais ampla. Como resultado, destacamos o surgimento de oportunidades pedagógicas trazidas pelo tema para discutir questões acerca da Natureza da Ciência, uma vez que o reconhecimento pelos alunos de conhecimentos diferentes do cientificamente aceito é obscurecido pela forma rígida como as metodologias científicas lhes são comumente apresentadas. Ressaltamos ainda que as relações entre conhecimentos de diferentes origens culturais para o Ensino de Ciências precisam ser aprofundadas e cada vez mais discutidas no âmbito da formação inicial e das práticas docentes.
A PARTE QUE FALTA: CLITÓRIS E SUA (SUB)REPRESENTAÇÃO NA CIÊNCIA E NA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Melo Maria Eduarda , Schmitt Matheus , Tavares Bruno
Published: September 2024

O clitóris é um órgão bastante invisibilizado ainda nos dias atuais, especialmente no ensino. Em vista disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo central propor uma sequência didática que evidencie a sub-representação do clitóris na ciência e no ensino. Para tanto, foram sistematizados aspectos históricos e anatomofisiológicos do clitóris, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica em estudos que tratam do órgão, o que permitiu evidenciar aspectos de natureza da ciência nesse contexto, bem como (re)contextualizar aspectos da anatomia e fisiologia do clitóris para o ensino. Além disso, a análise de livros didáticos e de vídeos que se dizem aula tornou evidente a (sub)representação da anatomofisiologia do clitóris e de seu conhecimento científico. A partir dessas constatações, sustentamos que discutir os aspectos anatomofisiológicos e históricos do clitóris pode ser um meio para a abordagem da natureza da ciência em aulas de ciências e de biologia. Por fim, propôs-se uma sequência didática sobre o clitóris, destinada a professores de Ciências e de Biologia.
ESTUDO INTERPRETATIVO DE FALAS DE PROFESSORES(AS) DE QUÍMICA SOBRE CURRÍCULO: CONCEITO, TEORIAS E FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE
Authors: Nogueira Soares Marra Nayara , Guimarães Corrêa Roberta
Published: September 2024

Estudos educacionais demonstram como a complexa relação entre políticas públicas-currículo-professor(a) é relevante para a construção de propostas de melhoria para a educação brasileira. Com intuito de contribuir para o debate desta temática, nosso trabalho investigou como cinco professores(as) de Química se expressam em relação ao currículo. Para tanto, entrevistamos cinco educadores(as) do estado de Minas Gerais sobre o conceito de currículo, o papel social da escola e suas motivações para ensinar Química. Buscamos associar suas respostas a teorias do currículo e a ênfases curriculares para o ensino de ciências discutidas na literatura. Também entrevistamos uma formadora de professores(as) de Química sobre os desafios de seu trabalho. Mesmo com as limitações inerentes aos dados gerados por meio de entrevistas, observamos que, apesar de relatarem concepções de currículo descritivas e pouco relacionadas a interesses sociais e políticos, os(as) professores(as) se expressaram de forma mais crítica em relação ao papel social da escola. Foi possível associar as falas a diferentes teorias curriculares, como as científicas e as pós-críticas. As teorias críticas foram as menos representadas e são aquelas que relacionam a exploração capitalista às desigualdades sociais que perpassam a escola. Ao analisarmos as ênfases curriculares presentes na expressão dos(as) docentes a respeito do ensino de Química, notamos uma tendência de valorizar a perspectiva e a experiência dos(as) estudantes. Contudo, houve uma lacuna de discussões mais problematizadoras, como aquelas que relacionam Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade. Por meio de nossos resultados e das falas da formadora de professores que entrevistamos, concluímos que processos formativos, especialmente na formação inicial, que oportunizem o debate sobre a dimensão política do trabalho dos(as) professores(as) e do currículo e que incentivem uma agência docente mais autêntica podem ser contribuições relevantes para o ensino de Ciências no Brasil. Além disso, processos coletivos de debate e de materialização da política curricular nas escolas, associados a parceria com Universidades, também parecem ser aportes promissores para a questão.
ESTAÇÕES LABORATORIAIS COMO PROMOTORAS DA MOBILIZAÇÃO DE PRÁTICAS EPISTÊMICAS E MANIFESTAÇÕES METACOGNITIVAS
Authors: Mota Ana Rita , Silva Fernando César , Werner da Rosa Cleci Teresinha , Sasseron Lúcia Helena
Published: September 2024

Nas últimas décadas, estudos sobre metacognição e práticas epistêmicas têm vindo a ganhar destaque na área de Educação em Ciências, por se considerar que ambas são parte integrante e fundamental no processo de aprendizagem. Contudo, provavelmente porque crescem a partir de fontes diferentes (Psicologia Cognitiva e História e Filosofia da Ciência) e têm naturezas diferentes (as práticas epistêmicas envolvem interações sociais e a metacognição, processos individuais), as ideias foram-se desenvolvendo e consolidando de forma independente. O presente estudo analisa o desempenho de 137 alunos, do ensino fundamental, numa aula organizada em estações laboratoriais, sobre Forças e Leis de Newton, através da análise das respostas dos alunos nas fichas laboratoriais e num questionário individual. Os resultados sugerem que o modelo colaborativo das estações laboratoriais mobiliza o desenvolvimento de práticas epistêmicas e apresenta indícios da presença do pensamento metacognitivo. Neste modelo, tanto as práticas epistêmicas quanto as possíveis manifestações metacognitivas possuem natureza argumentativa e de justificação de ideias, em consequência, o desenvolvimento de práticas epistêmicas revela aspectos sociais, cognitivos e metacognitivos. Como implicações desta pesquisa, destaca-se o potencial das estações laboratoriais para a mobilização de práticas epistêmicas e manifestações metacognitivas.
DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM INSTRUMENTO PARA AVALIAÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO BÁSICO DE ASTRONOMIA NO CONTEXTO EDUCACIONAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: De Araújo Silva Marcos Paulo , Porto Andrade Carlos Eduardo , Porto Villani Carlos Eduardo
Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, apresentamos os resultados de um processo de adaptação de um instrumento de pesquisa desenvolvido para medir o nível de conhecimento básico de astronomia da população brasileira. Tal instrumento, denominado “Teste de Níveis de Conhecimento em Astronomia” (TNCA) foi desenvolvido no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19 e, por isso, foi organizado e veiculado na forma de um formulário eletrônico aos 57 estudantes e professores que participaram da pesquisa. O TNCA consiste na tradução e adaptação de todas as 27 questões de múltipla escolha contidas no Test Of Astronomy Standards (TOAST), fruto de mais de 20 anos de pesquisa, desenvolvido, validado e consolidado pelo Center for Astronomy & Physics Education Research, um renomado centro de pesquisas em Educação em Astronomia dos Estados Unidos. As mudanças realizadas nos itens originais se devem, além das particularidades linguísticas do idioma português, às especificidades do céu observado a partir do hemisfério sul do nosso planeta e, particularmente, do contexto geográfico e educacional brasileiro. O TNCA foi disponibilizado e distribuído em mídia digital a três grupos distintos compostos por estudantes do Ensino Médio, Licenciatura em Física e professores de Física, e o corpus da pesquisa foi analisado segundo a Teoria Clássica dos Testes. Esta análise permitiu comparar as concepções observadas em nosso teste, tanto com os resultados do instrumento original, quanto com os resultados de pesquisas em Educação em Astronomia. Nossos resultados evidenciaram uma forte compatibilidade entre os índices e indicadores de validação dos itens obtidos no TOAST e no TNCA, com identificação de problemas pontuais em apenas 4 das 27 questões analisadas. Assim, após a análise, adaptamos as quatro questões identificadas com menor potencial de validação para consolidar a versão final do TNCA. Essa nova versão apresenta-se como um instrumento promissor para futura aplicação em escala estatisticamente significativa visando sua validação enquanto instrumento de avaliação do conhecimento básico de astronomia em contextos de ensino de física e astronomia no Brasil.
Crisis Management Research (2014-2023) in the MICE Industry: A Review and Research Agenda
Authors: Abdul Razak Dhiya Hikmahana , Khir Masrur Mohd , Rochin Demong Nur Atiqah
Published: September 2024

The 21st century is seen as a volatile business environment and requires a proper crisis management standard for most organizations including the MICE sector. Nowadays, managers seek to deal with a potential crisis effectively, with minimum losses or to avert the potential crisis in the best case. The goal is obvious: minimize the impact of the crisis or avoid a potential crisis. This study aims to investigate relevant research domains in the MICE/business events industry context. This paper found that there was very limited study on the topic. The topic of crisis management in the MICE/business events industry only started to gain much attention after COVID-19. To understand how crisis management practices have been adopted in the industry, the authors reviewed 32 articles including 29 papers on COVID-19, spanning 10 years, between 2014 and 2023. The findings showed that the research focuses on crisis management, crisis impact, response, resilience, communication, and recovery. Looking back, health-related crises (including COVID-19), political disturbances and terrorism themes are the biggest trends. This study addressed the need for more study on the topic for advancing knowledge, addressing emerging challenges, and applying findings to improve practice and decision-making as well as to develop a newly conceptual framework that places operational resilience on an equal footing with financial resilience, with indicators adapted to the risk profile of the operating model.

Published: September 2024

People are becoming increasingly concerned with environment as the society becomes more environmentally conscious and this is on a global basis. Festivalgoers are now very much concerned about the environmental impact of the events they go to, a consumer behavior shift. As a result of that, festival organizers are taking this into account when developing their strategies for future festivals. This research examines the influence of eco-friendly perceptions on the decision-making process among festival visitors. The study used an extended version of the planned behavior model which takes into account attitudes, subjective norms, anticipated positive emotions, expected negative emotions, and perceived behavioral control concerning decision-making. This correlation study focuses on attitudes towards attending eco-friendly events in terms of behavioral intention, subjective norms, positive anticipated emotion, negative anticipated emotion, and perceived behavioral control. 197 data sets were collected through convenience sampling of event management students at UiTM Puncak Alam via different online platforms were used for the analysis. The SPSS was used for the analysis of results through reliability tests, correlations, and regressions. The result indicated that there was a significant relationship between all the variables involved in participating in eco-friendly events.  Four independent variables show a significant beta coefficient for subjective norm, positive anticipated emotion, negative anticipated emotions, and perceived behavioral control. Meanwhile, another independent variable, attitude does not significantly influence behavioral intentions. The limitations, recommendations, and implications of the study were suggested for future research.

This study explores the best model for community-based tourism events (CBTE) model with the inclusion of social innovation as part of the process. Producing Sulayau fabric is seen as a factor that contributes to the development of social innovation activities among the community in Sabah. Two workshops were conducted to empower communities to understand the use of the new social innovation tool known as Memating and gave support to those communities to improve the quality of their participation in tourism. Semi-structured interviews and observation were used as data collection techniques. The results revealed two interesting findings the need for using the social innovation tool of Memating in increasing efficiency among craft traders and the need for marketing strategies in creating visibility of Sulayau fabric in Sabah.  Future studies are required for an empirical discussion in understanding how the role of social innovation shapes community-based tourism events.

It is imperative to take pro-ecological actions that are beneficial to health, as well as adopt sustainable development practices in the face of the current environmental challenges facing humanity. It is crucial that environmental protection is implemented by all people on Earth, because the future is worrying – especially for what will be left for future generations. Green building solutions are being implemented worldwide, but not always in an appropriate manner. All green architecture integrates sustainable development and conservation, regardless of location. This article summarises and characterises the concept of the 6E (economic, energy-efficient, ecological, elastic, aesthetic, ergonomic) ecological building concept and the 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) principle. It also presents an analysis of two ecological buildings in Poland. The first is a wooden building located in the village of Podgać, which serves as an example of combining modern design and ecology. It was built in harmony with nature and blends in with the natural environment of the forest. A half-timbered house in the village of Jarzębia Łąka is the second example where traditional construction, modern technical solutions and environmental protection come together. The presented project examples were examined in terms of ecological building principles and then compared with the 6E concept and the 3R principle. This paper presents a comprehensive study of two distinct eco-friendly building structures. The investigation covers technical characterisation, compliance with the 6E concept, comparison of ecological efficiency, and conclusions with recommendations. The Dom Baby Jagi [Baba Jaga House] in the village Podgać showcases a harmonious blend of simplicity, functionality, and economy, utilising wood with insulation for year-round habitation. It integrates renewable energy sources and rainwater harvesting, contributing to its ecological sustainability. Meanwhile, the half-timbered building in Jarzębia Łąka employs clay-straw bricks for construction, emphasising economic and environmental benefits with vapour-permeable walls and efficient insulation. Both structures exemplify ergonomic design, eco-friendly construction practices, and aesthetic integration with their natural surroundings. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating environmentally conscious solutions in modern architecture to address contemporary environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
Testing the triple deficits in the emerging economies of Europe
Authors: Özcan Sibel , Günel Tuğay
Published: September 2024

In the literature, increases in the ratio of current deficit to gross
domestic product (GDP) are considered a crisis indicator, and budget and
savings deficits are deemed to be significant causes of the current deficit.
This situation, called the triple deficit hypothesis in the literature, is
analyzed with the panel dynamic ordinary least square (panel DOLS) and fully
modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) using 2000-2019 data for Bulgaria,
Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Romania, and Slovenia,
which are generally referred to as the emerging economies of Europe. The
results showed a long-term relationship between the variables. Accordingly,
budget and private savings deficits increase the current deficit in the long
term. The causality analysis found a reciprocal causal relationship between
the variables, such that while budget and private savings deficits cause an
increase in the current deficit, increases in the current deficit also
increase the budget and private savings deficits. Thus, the triple deficit
hypothesis is valid in these countries.

IntroductionNotwithstanding the growth in the number and type of datasets that are being included in data linkage projects, some datasets remain ‘hard to include’ in operational linkage systems. Legal or regulatory constraints often restrict the release of personally identifying information from some datasets; alternatively, it may be privacy or reputational risks that prevent data release. Advances in privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) methods have made it possible to overcome this impasse.
Objectives and ApproachWe present and describe a number of recent Australian ‘use cases’ where the PPRL-Bloom method has been used. For each, we report and reflect on the following:
a) The nature of problem or ‘impasse’ being solvedb) The linkage model adoptedc) Quality, performance, privacy and automationd) Challenges, insights and opportunities for improvement
ResultsAustralian projects utilising privacy preserving linkage (PPRL-Bloom) include several linking state-based datasets to Commonwealth datasets, some linking primary care data to state-based hospital and other health collections, and others linking state-based non-health datasets such as education, police and justice datasets.
Conclusion / ImplicationsPPRL is a useful and innovative methodology for providing access to some ‘hard to get’ datasets. It has already enabled a number of research projects that for regulatory or other privacy related reasons would not have occurred. The use of PPRL in Australia appears likely to grow.
Time-Varying Vulnerability to Non-Fatal Overdose: A Self-Controlled Case Series

Published: September 2024

IntroductionCohort studies have suggested that there are periods of time, including the two weeks following release from prison and the transition on and off opioid agonist therapy (OAT), where the risk of overdose is heightened. However, this research has focused on fatal overdose and may be subject to confounding.
Objectives and ApproachThis study aimed to examine the association between time-varying risk factors – release from incarceration, discharge from hospital and emergency department, and use of prescribed OAT, opioids, benzodiazepines and antipsychotics – and non-fatal overdose. People in a 20% random sample of residents in BC, Canada who experienced a non-fatal overdose in 2015-2017 were identified through hospital admissions, physician and emergency department visits, and poison centre and ambulance calls. Risk periods associated with exposure to each time varying risk factor were created using linked administrative data. Using a self-controlled case series design, conditional Poisson regression was used to estimate the incidence rate ratio of non-fatal overdose during the risk periods compared to at other times.
Results4149 people experienced a non-fatal overdose during follow-up. People were at increased risk of overdose on the day of admission to prison (adjusted incidence rate ratio (AIRR) 2.8, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.5-5.0), in the two weeks after release from prison (AIRR 2.9, 95%CI 2.4-3.6) and after hospital discharge (AIRR 1.3, 95%CI 1.1-1.6), and during prescription opioid (AIRR 1.3, 95%CI 1.0-1.6) and benzodiazepine (AIRR 1.7, 95%CI 1.3-2.1) use. People were at lower risk of non-fatal overdose during OAT use (AIRR 0.4, 95%CI 0.3-0.5) and while in prison (AIRR 0.1, 95%CI 0.1-0.2).
Conclusion / ImplicationsThere are acute, transient periods where a person’s risk of overdose is heightened. These include release from incarceration, discharge from hospital, and while taking prescription opioids and benzodiazepines. These periods of increased risk should be targeted for overdose prevention efforts.
Investigating Risk of Self-Harm by Young Aboriginal People with A History of Child Protection System Contact: Identifying Opportunities for Prevention
Authors: Leckning Bernard , He Vincent Yaofeng , Hirvonen Tanja , Condon John , Guthridge Steven
Published: September 2024

IntroductionThe Northern Territory (NT) population experiences amongst the highest rates of both child maltreatment and self-harm of any jurisdiction in Australia, especially amongst young Aboriginal people. This is a concern given the evidence linking child maltreatment to self-harm and suicide. However, few longitudinal studies have examined these associations by patterns of child protection system contacts that may represent opportunities for intervention, and none have identified the distinct pathways for Aboriginal children.
Objectives and ApproachThis retrospective cohort study investigated the excess risk of self-harm hospital admissions (12-18 years) associated with different levels and timing of child protection contacts (aged <12 years) amongst Aboriginal children. The study used linked, de-identified, individual-level records from multiple agencies for 6,476 Aboriginal children born in the NT between 1999 and 2003.
ResultsOver 70% (n=36/50) of the cohort who experienced self-harm had a history of child protection contact. The overall probability of self-harm increased as the level of contact with the child protection system increased. After adjusting for confounding, children with any level of child protection contact in middle childhood (5-11 years) only and across both early (0-4 years) and middle childhood were 3 to 9 times more likely to experience self-harm in adolescence compared to their peers in the general population.
Conclusion / ImplicationsThe findings are consistent with evidence of intergenerational trauma impacting Aboriginal families and children and identifies middle childhood as a critical period in which the risk for self-harm emerges. There is a need for culturally appropriate family support and parenting programs to be available at all levels of the child protection system. Furthermore, hospitals should use a trauma-informed approach to assess and care for young Aboriginal people who present following self-harm. Reflections will be offered on the benefits of using data linkage for investigating rare outcomes in difficult-to-reach populations.
