Objective: The study was conducted to quantify antimicrobial utilization and determine the patterns of antibiotic use in Indoor patients and ICUs of the hospital.
Methods: The Point Prevalent Survey (PPS) was conducted in a core “National Antimicrobial Consumption Network site” as a part of the National Centre for Disease Control-WHO project “Point prevalence survey of antimicrobial consumption at healthcare facilities.” The study was conducted as per the “WHO Methodology for PPS on Antibiotic use in hospitals” in March, 2022. Altogether, 1396 eligible patients were admitted during the survey period, and 1109 patients were included in the survey. Data were collected using a predesigned and pretested questionnaire in separate hospital, ward and patient forms.
Results: The prevalence of antibiotic use during the study was 79.44%. On an average, 1.39 antibiotics were in use per patient and only a minor fraction of (1.5%) patients received definitive therapy. Parenteral route of administration (92.72%) was mostly used for administration of antibiotics. The most common indication for antibiotic use was found to be surgical prophylaxis (30.66%). There were 154 antibiotic prescriptions in the 'Not Recommended' category. Double gram negative and double anaerobic cover accounted for 25% and 8.3% respectively of the total prescriptions.
Conclusion: Empirical use of antibiotics is common and lack of utilisation of antimicrobial susceptibility testing services requires urgent interventions. Routine monitoring of antibiotic use is recommended to improve the current scenario of antimicrobial consumption.

Authors: Anggrarini Natalia , Efendi Nasori , Dahlia Dahlia
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate undergraduate students' filler types in academic speaking presentations and how they use filler functions. This qualitative research used observation to analyze the type of fillers used by the students during the presentation and interview to analyze the function of the fillers they used. The participants were 21 undergraduate students of the English Education Department from Universitas Wiralodra. This study reported that the students used lexicalized and unlexicalized fillers during the presentation. Lexicalized fillers are found mostly used by the students with 60,93%. While unlexicalized filler appeared 39.07%. Those fillers functioned to hesitate, empathize, mitigate, edit terms, and create time. Filler is used and functioned by the students to show politeness and create time to plan what to say next. This study implies that the students need various strategies to use fillers properly and understand positive and negative fillers so they can develop their communicative competency. This study suggests further investigation in terms of the use of filler in written language.

Authors: Silva Santos Douglas
Published: December 2024

O objetivo desse artigo é discutir, de forma contextualizada, a Lei de nº 14.172/21, conhecida como Lei da Conectividade, no contexto educacional brasileiro. Para tanto, aborda sua gênese, bem como seu processo de discussão e implementação com auxílio de contribuições teóricas de Álvaro Vieira Pinto (2005) e Florestan Fernandes (1973). O contexto pandêmico evidenciou diferentes fragilidades na educação pública brasileira e colocou em risco a garantia e a qualidade do acesso à educação escolar. Nesse cenário, destacam-se a falta de compromisso e uma atuação omissa por parte do governo federal da época, que teve, como principal resultado, a queda na aprendizagem em todos os níveis de ensino da Educação Básica.

EL RETORNO DEL PERONISMO AL GOBIERNO EN ARGENTINA (2019-2023): DE LA ILUSIÓN AL FRACASO
Authors: Tzeiman Andrés
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo busca realizar un balance del retorno del peronismo al gobierno en Argentina, llevando a cabo una recapitulación del mandato de Alberto Fernández como presidente de la nación (2019-2023). El punto de partida del análisis remite a las dificultades que signan dicho período de gestión presidencial, luego de los cuatro años de gobierno de la derecha (2015-2019). El trabajo divide el período de Fernández en distintas etapas, y coloca el foco en las crisis internas del oficialismo como una forma de interpretar las contradicciones que están presentes en dicho espacio político, en función de la notoria heterogeneidad y diversidad de la coalición gubernamental. En ese sentido, primero se analiza la reacción del gobierno en el contexto de la pandemia. Luego, se indagan las crisis suscitadas, en primer lugar, por la derrota en las elecciones intermedias, y, en segundo lugar, producto de las crecientes tensiones en la economía nacional. A modo de conclusión, en el final del artículo se esbozan las perspectivas en relación con el futuro político del país en el último tramo del mandato presidencial de Fernández.
IMPORTÂNCIA DA LEITURA À FORMAÇÃO POLÍTICA:
Authors: Massena de Lira Gustavo , De Lima Medeiros Janiara , Matos Uhmann Silvana
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo inquietar o leitor quanto a formação do pensamento crítico como essencial para o desenvolvimento da autonomia e da emancipação humana diante da perspectiva inclusiva. Para tanto, busca-se apresentar argumentos à reflexão da leitura como fundamental à formação crítica dos sujeitos, permitindo que compreendam o mundo, questionem suas realidades e exerçam sua cidadania plenamente. Freire (1970) destacou a importância desta leitura como um processo de compreensão do mundo e das estruturas sociais, argumentando que o ato de ler deva ir além da simples assimilação de informações, sendo uma atividade de interpretação e contextualização. Portanto, a educação bancária, criticada por Freire (1970), em razão de ser um modelo tradicional de transmissão de conhecimento de forma hierárquica e passiva, é substituída pela proposta de uma educação emancipadora, capaz de promover o diálogo, a conscientização política e a ação transformadora. Para esboçar a educação proposta, serão apresentados exemplos de ações práticas, como o estímulo ao diálogo entre professor e aluno, a identificação de temas geradores relevantes para a realidade dos estudantes, a promoção do pensamento crítico e a reflexão sobre as experiências pessoais dos alunos. Desta forma, busca-se neste artigo apresentar as diferentes perspectivas sobre a formação emancipatória contradizendo a educação bancária, bem como algumas práticas para contorná-las.
Data Science Process in Furniture Industry: A Case Study
Authors: Fernandes da Veiga Machado Alex , Ribeiro Dantas Mario Antonio , Stroele de Andrade Menezes Victor
Published: December 2024

Data science has become increasingly relevant in the furniture industry to help companies overcome challenges such as the scarcity of raw materials and fierce competition in the globalized market. In addition, data analysis can also help companies better understand their customer profile and identify market trends. It can be applied to several management problems, such as sales analysis, cus- tomer behavior and targeted advertising. However, although Enterprise Resources Planning systems integrate knowledge and provide reporting tools for users to analyze data, supporting decision-making is not their primary purpose. This work presents a Data Science Trajectory (DST) model applied to commercial transac- tions in a case study of a real company in the furniture segment. It is intended to serve as a reference for data analysts who wish to incorporate this proce- dure into business routines based on commercial data. From the modeling of the DST implemented with machine learning techniques, we present differentiated results related to the discovery/understanding of the problems and proposition of interventions.

RECONFIGURAR LAS NOCIONES DE INFANCIA Y LA EDUCACIÓN INICIAL DESDE LAS PEDAGOGÍAS PROPIAS DE ALGUNOS GRUPOS AMAZÓNICOS
Authors: Diaz Maritza
Published: December 2024

Este artículo invita a repensar las prácticas de la educación inicial en formas históricamente contextualizadas, políticamente desmitificadas y éticamente reflexivas. Es decir, desea revisar el significado y la praxis en la educación inicial, para sostener un diálogo encaminado a reconocer, respetar e inspirarse en “pedagogías propias de grupos étnicos” componer metodologías y una configuración de infancia desde una perspectiva culturalmente situada que permitan abordar el desarrollo integral, la exploración propia del entorno, la expresividad y la construcción de conocimiento de niños y de las niñas en la primera infancia. Como referencia se tomarán las investigaciones que realicé en la Amazonía colombiana, específicamente en Piramirí, un pequeño poblado situado en el río Cuduyarí, vertiente del río Vaupés. Allí habitan los pediküa, una comunidad Pãmiwa, comúnmente llamados Cubeo por la literatura etnográfica y lingüística. A lo largo de diversas permanencias desde 1993, he podido compartir apartes de su vida cotidiana y sostener una prolongada conversación guiada principalmente por mujeres. Mi atención se ha centrado en la niñez de los Pãmiwa. Las preguntas orientadoras en el trabajo de campo de estos años han girado en torno a cómo son concebidos los niños y niñas, cuál es su proceso de socialización, de qué manera se les cuida, enseña y aprenden. Me interesa especialmente examinar las respuestas a esas preguntas con relación a las incursiones privadas o estatales de atención y educación a la infancia indígena en Colombia y los aportes de las pedagogías propias a la educación nacional.

FESTA DOS TABULEIROS, TOMAR (PORTUGAL)
Authors: Afonso Ariano Heloisa , Camponês Fernando André Santos
Published: December 2024

O debate que se apresenta entra na senda da relação entre direitos culturais, em específico, os de gênero, e os direitos humanos na Festa dos Tabuleiros, Tomar, Portugal. Um problema de gênero se coloca na medida em que o ritual se caracteriza por uma marcada diferença e oposição nos dois principais papéis rituais da festa. O foco da reflexão é pensar a participação de mulher e homem, recorrendo a pesquisa etnográfica e à luz do aparato legal produzido pela UNESCO para a salvaguarda do patrimônio imaterial, em contraste com as teorias de gênero, nas quais o gênero é refletido sem essencialismos e em termos de performance reiterativa. Elabora-se também um contraponto entre o significado do ritual e a ação cotidiana no que diz respeito a questão de gênero.

‘KIAL É O PEIXE GANHADO NA BEIRA DO PORTO’:
Authors: Cecim Adriana
Published: December 2024

Este artigo faz reflexões sobre uma prática aparentemente livre realizada por pescadores/as e moradores/as da comunidade Vila dos Pescadores, Reserva Extrativista Marinha Caeté-Taperaçu, no município de Bragança, litoral do estado do Pará: o kial, que se resume aos atos de pedir e doar o peixe na beira do porto no momento do desembarque. Em decorrência da diminuição das safras de espécies mais rentáveis ao mercado, pescadores e pescadoras que trabalham dentro do estuário encontram dificuldades para manter a sua reprodução social. Dessa forma, além de um gesto de solidariedade e ajuda mútua, o kial tornou-se, também, uma prática comercial utilizada como estratégia para suprir as dificuldades financeiras desses atores e garantir a sua subsistência frente às intempéries da pesca artesanal.

Authors: Fonseca Fabíola Pereira Sarmento da , Vilhena Carla
Published: December 2024

A pandemia causada pelo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2 impôs uma transformação repentina da vida quotidiana. A escola teve de se adaptar rapidamente a essa nova realidade, adotando o que se veio a designar de Ensino Remoto de Emergência (ERE). Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o impacto da passagem ao ERE num contexto particular, a Escola da Ponte, uma escola com um modelo pedagógico assente no trabalho colaborativo e autónomo. Mais concretamente, pretendemos: compreender as percepções dos docentes acerca dos desafios que se colocaram à comunidade educativa da Escola da Ponte, na passagem ao ERE; analisar as estratégias utilizadas pelos docentes para manter a proposta do “Projeto Educativo: Fazer a Ponte” no período de ERE; descrever o processo de retoma do ensino presencial, num contexto pandémico. Optamos por uma abordagem metodológica de natureza qualitativa, mais concretamente pelo estudo de caso. Os resultados revelam que as estratégias adotadas pelos docentes da Escola da Ponte no período de transição para o ERE e no regresso às aulas presenciais foram fundamentais para mitigar as desigualdades sociais e educativas existentes e garantir continuidade no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos. Apesar das restrições, observou-se, neste período, inovação nas práticas pedagógicas, especialmente pelo uso das plataformas e tecnologias digitais, assente no trabalho colaborativo.

Authors: Santos Cícera Maria Mamede , Sales Maria Julieta Fai Serpa e , Cavalcante Maria Marina Dias
Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa tratou a respeito do Estágio Supervisionado, que se constitui como campo teórico-prático de conhecimento que faz parte da formação inicial da carreira docente, também inserido na matriz curricular dos cursos de Licenciatura do país. O estudo teve como objetivo geral compreender o Estágio Supervisionado a partir de narrativas docentes. Tratou-se de uma investigação qualitativa, cujo método foi a pesquisa narrativa, oportunidade em que foram entrevistados quatro professores de cursos de Licenciatura em Filosofia e Música de uma universidade pública do Sul do Ceará. Outrossim, recorreu-se à Análise Textual Discursiva para analisar os dados produzidos. A partir das narrativas, foi possível reconhecer a essencialidade de uma formação pautada pelo diálogo, pela atitude de escuta e convite ao saber, aspectos estes relacionados à racionalidade crítica. Desse modo, a formação dialógica marcou presença em todo o percurso formativo da graduação, sobretudo no Estágio, até a concepção e atuação docente atual dos participantes.

Authors: Binti Dahlan Azlin , Binti Abdullah Zamlina , Binti Mior Dahlan Nurazian , Binti Mohd Amri Nur Najwa Ellya
Published: December 2024

Upcycling involves reusing materials to create new products, enhancing their value and helping to reduce waste. However, a lack of knowledge and awareness about upcycling can hinder its adoption, presenting a significant challenge. To address this issue, the "Let’s Upcycle" mobile game application was developed to raise awareness and offer practical upcycling ideas to the general public. The application employs a game-based learning approach combined with gamification and was created using the ADDIE methodology to streamline the development process. The project's effectiveness was assessed through a User Experience Questionnaire, which yielded positive feedback of 91.1 percent regarding overall user experience. However, the app has some limitations, such as being available only in English and compatible solely with Android devices. Future updates will aim to address these issues.

Authors: bin Abd Rahman Mohd Shukor , Bin Deraman Alias , Bin Zul Haikal Haziem
Published: December 2024

The Hajj pilgrimage, a fundamental aspect of Islamic education, often lacks engaging educational tools to convey its experiential and cultural significance. However, traditional methods fail to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical understanding.  Therefore, this study presents the development and evaluation of the “Islamic Insight: Hajj Board Game,” an interactive 2D Game-Based Learning (GBL) tool designed to educate students about the Hajj pilgrimage. The game was developed using Agile methodology, incorporating Unity, Canva, and Microsoft Visual Studio tools. The primary objectives were to design a comprehensive storyboard, create the game, and evaluate user experience. The evaluation phase utilized the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) to gather insights from 39 respondents. The GEQ results indicated a positive reception, with high ratings in competence (mean = 4.26) and immersion (mean = 3.85). Participants found the game engaging and educational, with positive affect scoring a mean of 3.35. However, the challenge aspect received a moderate rating (mean = 2.58), and the negative effect was low (mean = 2.18), suggesting minimal negative emotions during gameplay. Overall, the Hajj Board Game successfully provided an engaging and informative experience, enhancing students’ understanding of the Hajj pilgrimage. Future research should focus on improving accessibility and expanding the game to mobile platforms to reach a broader audience.

Published: December 2024

Back in the old days, our method of learning Islamic Education was always the traditional way which included pen and paper and two-way communication between a teacher and the student. In this digital era, a new method of learning has been implemented which uses electronic devices. Learning Islamic Education often creates boredom among young students, and this will affect their concentration and understanding. To cater to this problem, a game-based learning method needs to be implemented in classrooms. The scope of the project is for young learners of Islamic Education in primary school. This study aims to research the effectiveness of game-based learning methods by using video games. The development of the game is based on the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC) methodology. GBL Model is the model that was used to ensure it fits for education purposes. Results show that most players understand the learning content and suggest there is room for improvement.
Laws Related to Leaving Islam in Malaysia: Issues and Challenges in Legislation and Enforcement
Authors: Pg Musa Pg Ismail bin , bin Mohd Yusof Jal Zabdi , Bin Tahir Zulazhar , Erlen Joni Ekmil Krisnawati
Published: December 2024

Schedule Nine of the Federal Constitution allows state governments to enact laws related to Islam within the scope of the schedule, including those relating to renouncing Islam and associated matters. Currently, states like Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak have enacted laws or procedures governing the process of leaving Islam. Through doctrinal study and existing legal texts, three main approaches are identified: criminalizing apostasy under Syariah law, addressing it through a mal application, and combining punitive and rehabilitative elements, such as istitabah (repentance) through the criminal process. Agencies directly involved include the State Religious Department, the State Religious Council, the Mufti's Office, and the Syariah Court. However, some applicants file Civil court cases to avoid the lengthy Syariah Court process. Furthermore, there are almost no reported cases of Syariah prosecution resulting from applications to leave Islam, which may relate to society’s varying views of apostasy, whether it is a criminal act (riddah) or a matter of religious freedom.

Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic was characterized as a global phenomenon by the WHO in March 2020. The pandemic had significant effects, short and long-term impacts on healthcare companies and the healthcare industry. Hence, healthcare companies should analyze their financial performance to sustain themselves in this critical period. For that reason, this paper aims to comprehend how selected companies in the healthcare industry utilize all the components in a company’s financial statement to achieve outstanding company performance. Our analysis used market valuation ratios such as earnings per share (EPS) and book value per share (BVPS). To strengthen our analysis, we determine the strengths and weaknesses to assess the healthcare companies’ position in the market. Thus, we will recommend strategies that will aid the company in better performance in the future.

Published: December 2024

This paper assesses the impact of local government spending on provincial outputs in the People's Republic of China.

Public investment in science and technology has multiplying effects on output, which benefits long-term productivity. If excessive, fiscal deficits and public debt can weaken the benefits of expansionary policies. Differentiating the impact of specific spending components and the economic environment on the provincial output and local fiscal conditions remains challenging. Future research can explore this further with more disaggregated administrative project-level data.

Does Disclosure Regulation Affect Mutual Fund Families’ Proxy Voting?
Authors: Kim Eunjee
Published: December 2024

Nonactivist investors that own more than 5 percent of a firm must report their holdings by filing a 13G in which they must commit to not influencing control of the firm. Mutual fund families are the most common investors filing 13Gs. I study whether the 13G requirement affects mutual fund families’ voting in proxy contests. I find mutual fund families that file the form are less likely to vote for activist proposals than are those that do not, suggesting that the requirement discourages mutual fund families from supporting activists who seek to influence control of the firm. The effects strengthen when vote outcomes directly affect the firm’s control and when activists pose a higher threat to the firm. I further document that the aggregate voting power of 13G-filing mutual fund families correlates with management winning contested votes and retaining board seats during proxy contests.

OBJECTIVE

Young women with type 1 diabetes are at risk to develop eating disorders (ED). We evaluated a novel ED prevention program in a multinational randomized controlled trial.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Women (14–35 years old) with type 1 diabetes were randomized to virtual Diabetes Body Project groups or educational control. Outcomes were assessed at pretest and posttest (1–2 weeks after intervention).

RESULTS

Compared with educational controls (n = 146), participants in the Diabetes Body Project (n = 147) showed significant improvements (all P < 0.05), with small Cohen’s d effect sizes for ED symptoms (d = −0.30, 95% CI −0.06, −0.69) (primary outcome), diabetes distress (d = −0.42), quality of life (d = 0.39) and dietary restraint (d = −0.31), and medium effect sizes for diabetes-specific disordered eating behaviors (d = −0.70), body dissatisfaction (d = −0.59), and pursuit of thin appearance ideal (d = −0.56).

CONCLUSIONS

The Diabetes Body Project produced significantly larger acute effects with small to medium effect sizes compared with educational controls and has potential for broad implementation.

Post mortem examination of dead kid showed markedly swollen thyroid gland and samples collected from them were subjected to routine H&E examination. Histopathological examination revealed extensive hyperplasia of the thyroid follicles along with follicles filled with varying amount of colloid suggesting hyperplastic and colloidal goitre. Areas of Hyperplastic follicles showed cuboidal to tall columnar follicular epithelial cells with highly vacoular cytoplasm whereas follicles with colloidal deposition showed flattened epithelium. Hemato-biochemical examination of samples collected from live kid showed moderate anaemia with decreased leucocyte count. There was macrocytic hypochromic anaemia. T4 was significantly lower and there was significant rise in TSH levels when compared to reference values. The kid born co-twin with the dead kid survived after treatment and showed significant improvement in clinical condition after 5 days of treatment. Based on the gross and histopathological examination the cause of death was confirmed to be congenital hyperplastic and colloid goitre which is usually a non-inflammatory and non-neoplastic enlargement of the thyroid caused due to iodine deficiency is most common in new-born animals in iodine-deficient areas.

Architectural education is essential to produce the profession of the architect responsible for creating a quality environment in the 21st Century. Therefore, architecture education should be holistic, addressing the needs of architecture graduates with six attributes: ethics and spirituality, leadership skills, national identity, language skills, thinking skills, and knowledge to meet the needs of the industry and the current market in parallel with the requirements of the national policy. However, not many past studies have been provided on architectural education in Malaysia, from the students' perspectives to hold on to the profession of an architect. Most past studies focus only on pedagogical methods of learning and evaluation of architectural studios, the application of technology in architectural education, the element of entrepreneurship in architectural education, and the importance of sustainability values in the architectural curriculum. Therefore, this study aims to identify architecture students' perspectives in private and public universities and outline proposals to improve the current architecture education curriculum to produce better architecture graduates. The methodology used involves a combination of quantitative research. The scope of study is focused only on architectural programmes subject to LAM (Malaysia Architect Council) Part I and II recognition. The findings underline the need for quality teaching and learning, emphasizing generic skills to produce graduates with high marketability values in the 21st Century.

Rapid urbanisation and population growth have led to a surge in sewage sludge (SS) generation, posing environmental challenges due to its complex composition, particularly heavy metal content. This study investigates heavy metal analysis, thermal decomposition behaviour, and slow pyrolysis of SS to address these concerns. SS samples were collected from a sewage treatment plant and analysed for heavy metals using ICP-OES. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) clarified thermal decomposition behaviour, while slow pyrolysis experiments at varying temperatures provided insights into product yields. Results revealed significant concentrations of heavy metals and other elements in SS, with pyrolysis temperatures between 450°C and 600°C ensuring complete conversion of volatile matter. Slow pyrolysis predominantly yielded biochar, indicating limited suitability for bio-oil production. Additionally, pyrolysis enriched biochar with heavy metals while decreasing cobalt concentration, highlighting complex mechanisms in heavy metal redistribution. This research contributes to understanding heavy metal behaviour and thermal conversion dynamics in sewage sludge, informing sustainable waste management strategies for mitigating environmental impacts.
