Published: July 2024

Anxiety is the condition in which an individual feels unpleasant and it imbeds tension, apprehension, and worries. Speaking anxiety is a type of anxiety that affects the process of speaking or oral performance. Regarding speaking, numerous studies have been conducted to find some anxiety-provoking factors. Afghanistan is a country where English is taught as a foreign language. Similar to other ESL/EFL contexts, Afghanistan EFL learners face various challenges such as being worried, losing self-confidence, communication apprehension, fear of being evaluated by others, etc when they speak in English. The purposes of this study are to find out the speaking anxiety-provoking factors and the differences between male and female speaking anxiety levels. Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope (1986) FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale) and interview questions are used for data collection. The respondents of the study are 15 male and 15 female students who are randomly selected at Bamyan University, Afghanistan. Besides, 4 male and 4 female students were interviewed. As a result, the study found some speaking anxiety factors such as fear of negative evaluation, lack of linguistics capacity, communication apprehension, lack of preparation and some other factors. This study also highlighted that female students have more speaking anxiety than male students at Bamyan University in  Afghanistan.

Published: July 2024

Cotton is one of the world’s largest fiber-producing crops. It is also known as the important cash crop of Pakistan. Cotton crop products contribute to economy as cottonseed oil, animal feed and the fiber support the textile industries, thus, playing a significant role in uplifting the economy of a country. But over time, bollworm attacks had escalated, severely reducing the yield of cotton and damaging cotton production. Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) cotton is being widely used nowadays due to its enhanced resistance against cotton bollworms which are responsible for reducing crop production leading to high economic loss. It greatly affects the economy by increasing the cost of production and protection. Using resistant strains of Bt cotton not only makes it easier to combat bollworm attacks but also reduces the substantial expense issues that farmers face. Bt has many toxic proteins among which the two crystal proteins, Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab, are used to develop resistance against bollworms in cotton. This study aimed to optimize the developing transgenic callus containing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab genes in cotton. The dual gene construct (Cry1Ac + Cry2Ab) provides more resistance to the cotton crop as compared to the single gene construct against whom the most bollworms have developed resistance. The vector was inoculated into the hypocotyl segments and the transformation process was preceded by shifting the hypocotyls at different mediums Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 was used for cotton transformation. The construct-containing vector was introduced into a standard cotton line. A molecular confirmation test was carried out utilizing PCR and gene-specific primers after the formation of the transgenic callus.  As a result of the research an indigenous cotton line that expresses double Bt genes for insect resistance was developed.
Spatial disparities in incidence of COVID-19 in relation to economic and socio-demographic factors in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain
Authors: Escolano-Utrilla Severino , Roca-Medina Andrés , Barrado-Timón Diego
Published: July 2024

This article models the relationship between the incidence of COVID-19 and several socioeconomic factors during the second period of epidemic (22 June 2020 to 06 December 2020) in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain. Data collected from Basic Health Zones (BHZs) is adjusted using the random forest method, which proves very appropriate for capturing non-linear relationships and obtaining accurate and robust predictions. The results show that the impact of the examined socio-economic variables on rates of incidence of COVID-19 was not uniform, and that levels of mean income by neighborhood exerted stronger influence than population density, proportion of the Spanish population, mean age of the population or average household size. A complex spatial pattern emerges from the combination of impacts, reflecting the relative weights of the different factors in terms of intensity of the pandemic. This information may be considered strategic for the effective future management of health resources.

O texto tem como objeto de estudo os efeitos da política de formação de professores indígenas de etnia Nukini e Nawa residentes no Rio Moa. O estudo analisou o processo de formação docente Nukini verificando se está alinhado com o discurso oficial presente na Legislação brasileira sobre a escola indígena, O público alvo foram professores indígenas que fizeram formação de Ensino Médio na modalidade do magistério indígena junto à Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Acre. Para o levantamento de informações foram realizadas entrevistas no sentido de verificar se tal formação atende aos interesses comunitários. Os resultados alcançados apontaram para uma relativa qualificação dos professores pela SEE, identificando que as ações de formação docente não atendem efetivamente e nem sempre estão em sintonia com as necessidades políticas – sociais da comunidade indígena havendo assim um descompasso na política de formação de professores indígenas e legislação escolar indígena.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Barodontalgia refers to the painful condition affecting previously asymptomatic teeth and periodontal tissues, caused by changes in atmospheric pressure during flight. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of barodontalgia in Brazilian Air Force (FAB) pilots. Materials and Methods: An exploratory study was carried out, with a convenience sample, made up of military pilots, regardless of age group and type of aircraft, using a structured questionnaire and descriptive analysis of the data. Results: 141 pilots participated; men; 37.3 ± 3.6 years; 40.6% were transport pilots, 14.1% fighter, 9.4% rotary wing, and 35.8% Instruction/Demonstration. The prevalence of barodontalgia was 12.8% (18 occurrences). Three missions were interrupted. Regarding knowledge of barodontalgia, 56 (39.7%) reported regular knowledge and 21 (15%) declared they had no knowledge on the subject. Conclusions: It is concluded that the prevalence of barodontalgia in Brazilian military pilots is higher than the values reported by some air forces of developed countries, already indicating the need for a more in-depth look at the oral health of FAB military personnel.

These models are based on econometric methods using past data about customers, both defaulters and non--defaulters. These models focus on the optimal separation between good and bad customers taking into account two types of errors that appear, namely: the False Positive (Type 1 error) and the False Negative (Type 2 error). The purpose of the project was to focus on the problem of unbalanced data. Different balancing methods have been applied to the data set obtained from the financial institution operating in the European market. Various levels of unbalance have been considered and different statistical assessment metrics have been compared.
Makroekonomiczne determinanty jakości kredytów dla sektora niefinansowego w Polsce
Authors: Ostrowska Aleksandra
Published: July 2024

Kredyty dla sektora niefinansowego, tj. gospodarstw domowych oraz przedsiębiorstw, mają największy udział w aktywach sektora bankowego w Polsce. Ich jakość jest istotna z punktu widzenia kondycji sektora bankowego, jego rentowności oraz stabilności. Jakość kredytów zależy zarówno od polityki kredytowej danego banku, jak i od sytuacji kredytobiorców. Obie grupy czynników są jednak determinowane sytuacją makroekonomiczną, która może istotnie wpływać na jakość portfela kredytowego banków. Celem badań była identyfikacja oraz ocena wpływu wybranych makroekonomicznych determinant jakości kredytów dla sektora niefinansowego w Polsce w latach 2010–2022 za pomocą Klasycznej Metody Najmniejszych Kwadratów (KMNK). Wyniki badań wykazały, że dynamika PKB, stopa bezrobocia oraz dług publiczny silnie wpływały na dynamikę udziału kredytów zagrożonych w kredytach ogółem sektora bankowego w Polsce w badanym okresie. Kierunek oddziaływania dynamiki PKB oraz długu publicznego był ujemny, a stopy bezrobocia – dodatni. Można więc stwierdzić, że otoczenie makroekonomiczne determinuje jakość portfela kredytowego banków.

PRISÕES INFINTAS
Authors: Cirqueira Josean Roberto Pires
Published: July 2024

O texto aborda a complexidade da liberdade e da prisão sob uma perspectiva filosófica e reflexiva. Embora cada indivíduo se perceba como livre, na verdade está sempre aprisionado por diferentes conceitos e condições impostas pela sociedade e pela própria mente. A metáfora da prisão se desdobra em várias camadas: ao se libertar de uma, muitas vezes se encontra aprisionado em outra, perpetuando um ciclo de fugas e novos aprisionamentos. Com isso, a lucidez sobre nossa condição de cativos pode ser tão ilusória quanto libertadora, pois quem se julga livre muitas vezes impõe suas próprias prisões aos outros, sem perceber que está preso em suas próprias crenças e ideias. A busca por liberdade pode ser uma busca incessante por novas formas de aprisionamento, onde fugir de uma realidade só nos coloca em outra prisão, menos perceptível à primeira vista. A reflexão se estende à vida política, social e religiosa, sugerindo que muitos aspectos da sociedade são estruturados como prisões invisíveis, onde leis e normas funcionam como grades que limitam a liberdade individual. A morte é vista como um ponto onde todas as prisões se dissolvem, mas também é questionada como uma ideia que molda nossa existência dentro das próprias prisões que criamos. Entretanto, o texto desafia a ideia tradicional de liberdade ao sugerir que, mesmo na busca por emancipação, podemos estar apenas nos movendo entre diferentes formas de confinamento, sem jamais alcançar uma verdadeira liberdade absoluta.
DA CAVERNA AO MUNDO DAS IDEIAS: RESENHA CRÍTICA DO LIVRO “100 MINUTOS PARA ENTENDER PLATÃO”
Authors: Rueda Neto Eduardo
Published: July 2024

Esta resenha crítica avalia a obra 100 Minutos Para Entender Platão, da Coleção Saberes, publicada pela editora Astral Cultural, destacando seu valor como uma introdução clara e concisa ao pensamento de Platão, um dos pilares da filosofia ocidental. O livro apresenta de forma acessível conceitos fundamentais como a alegoria da caverna e o mundo das Ideias, abordando também a significativa influência de Platão na política e na religião. A obra é elogiada por sua linguagem simples e organização didática, que permitem uma rápida compreensão dos principais aspectos do pensamento platônico, tornando-a ideal para iniciantes. No entanto, a simplificação de conceitos complexos pode ser vista também como um ponto fraco, pois deixa de fora discussões mais detalhadas e profundas. Mesmo assim, a obra cumpre seu objetivo de despertar o interesse pela Filosofia e serve como um ponto de partida valioso para aqueles que desejam explorar mais a fundo as ideias de Platão, demonstrando ser um recurso educativo relevante e eficaz.
Tensions et exigences découlant des rôles multiple des étudiantes universitaires
Authors: Lemaire Christiane
Published: July 2024

Résumé

Les femmes exerçant des rôles multiples constituent le groupe qui croît le plus
rapidement parmi la clientèle étudiante universitaire; elles vivent plus que
quiconque la tension de rôles. Cet article présente les résultats d'une recherche
menée auprès de vingt femmes inscrites dans sept programmes universitaires
canadiens d'andragogie et de service social. Ces femmes doivent concilier leurs
rôles de parent, de travailleuse et d'étudiante. Les résultats démontrent que
cette expérience des rôles multiples est enrichissante mais que 75 % d'entre
elles la vivent sur le mode de la surcharge, du conflit et de la tension de rôles.
Les demandes excessives et conflictuelles associées au manque de temps conduisent
à un état de fatigue et de culpabilité. Les comparaisons effectuées entre
différents types de programmes (andragogie, service social, adapté, traditionnel)
révèlent que les étudiantes en service social sont plus sujettes à la tension,
à la surcharge, au conflit et à la contagion de rôles. Bien que plusieurs répondantes
reçoivent du soutien informel de différentes sources, on constate un
besoin général de flexibilité accrue aux plans des services, des politiques et des
attitudes envers cette clientèle.

Multiple role women comprise the fastest growing group in universities. They
are also the most vulnerable to role strain. This paper reports results of interviews
with twenty adult women who combine parenting, working and studying
adult education or social work in seven Canadian university programmes.
These women found their multiple role experience enriching but stressful, with
over 75 % reporting role strain, conflict and overload. Excessive or conflicting
demands coupled with time constraints led to fatigue and guilt. Comparisons
by programme type and degree of adaptation revealed that social work students
experienced more role strain, conflict, overload and contagion than did
adult education students. While many students obtained informal support,
they indicated a need for more flexible attitudes, services and policies.
The Metamorphoses of Andragogy
Authors: Draper James
Published: July 2024

Andragogy and adult education (frequently used synonymously) reflect
the involvement of adults in learning. This article presents an overview
of the origin and early usage of the term andragogy as it evolved in
Europe and in North America. In doing so, a number of issues are
identified, the varying uses of the term are described, and the influence of
these historical developments on the theory, practice, and identity of
present day adult education in Canada are emphasized. The article
concludes by making a number of interpretive reflections on the
implications this evolution and debate on the concept has for today's field
of practice and search for identity.

Résumé

Les termes «education des adultes» et «andragogie», qui reflètent
habitueullement l'engagement des adultes face à leur propre
apprentissage, sont souvent employés comme synonymes. Nous proposons
ici un survol des origines et des premiers usages du terme «andragogie»
en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Après avoir identifié les principaux
enjeux et décrit les divers usages du terme, nous aborderons l'influence
de cette évolution sur la théorie, la pratique et l'identité des praticiens en
éducation des adultes.
Apprendre par l'expérience: Les conditions d'utilisation d'une approche expérientielle dans la formation professionnelle universitaire en psychologie
Authors: Mandeville Lucie
Published: July 2024

Résumé

Le problème de la distance entre la formation universitaire et celui de
la pratique professionnelle soulèvent un intérêt certain dans le domaine
de l'éducation des adultes. Face à cette situation, l'approche
expérientielle présente une alternative intéressante. Dans le but de
mieux cerner les conditions d'utilisation d'une approche expérientielle,
une recherche a été réalisée auprès de 17 personnes inscrites au
département de psychologic de l'Université de Sherbrooke. Celles-ci
ont été invitées à raconter une expérience ayant été significative à leurs
yeux et ayant permis de développer des ressources utiles à leur pratique
professionnelle. L'analyse des récits fait ressortir six dimensions de
l'expérience : la continuité-transactionnelle de l'expérience avec
l'environnement, la signifiance de l'expérience, l'engagement de la
personne, la relation significative d'assistance, l'auto-réflexion, la
reconnaissance de l'accomplissement. Les retombées théoriques et les
implications pratiques en ce qui concerne l'apprentissage expérientiel
dans la formation professionnelle en psychologic sont abordées dans la
conclusion.

Some inconsistency between university training and professional
practice has been observed in the adult education literature. In this
context, the experiential approach offers an interesting alternative to
professional learning. In order to better understand the propitious
conditions for an experiential approach, a series of interviews were
conducted with 17 students in the Psychology department at Université
de Sherbrooke, who were asked to describe one significant experience
linked to the improvement of their professional practice. Analysis of the
narratives uncovered six significant dimensions of experience:
transactional continuity between experience and the environment; the
meaning of experience; personal involvement; a significant helping
relationship; self-reflection; and recognition of accomplishment. The
conclusion reports both practical implications and theoretical spin-offs
regarding the role of experiential learning for professional training in
psychology.

Tumor de retossigmóide: um relato de caso
Authors: Pareja Helen Brambila Jorge , Pareja Helen Brambila Jorge , Ghadie Samer Majid , Silva Ana Luiza Ramires Messias , Trepiche João Lucas Dias , Corrêa Julia Antonia Pereira
Published: July 2024

Introdução: O tumor de retossigmoide abrange os tumores que se iniciam no intestino grosso, chamado cólon, e no reto, sendo a segunda neoplasia mais incidente no Brasil. Os principais fatores relacionados ao maior risco de desenvolver tumor de retossigmoide são: idade igual ou acima de 50 anos, obesidade, inatividade física, além de fatores hereditários. Quando descoberto na fase inicial, a cirurgia é a principal forma de tratamento, podendo ou não ser combinada com outras abordagens como a quimioterapia e a radioterapia. No entanto, a definição sobre a realização de qualquer procedimento parte da avaliação individual, consenso da equipe multidisciplinar e concordância do paciente e seus familiares. Objetivo: Demonstrar a importância de um diagnóstico precoce de tumor de retossigmóide para melhor prognóstico. Métodos: A partir de um caso médico ocorrido na Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Presidente Prudente, e seu prontuário, foram coletadas informações para realização desse relato. Resultados: O tratamento cirúrgico continua ser a melhor opção. A literatura atual indica que a precisão do estadiamento e a sobrevida global aumentam proporcionalmente ao número de linfonodos analisados. A base cirúrgica principal é a remoção em bloco do tumor com adequadas margens proximal e distal, associada à remoção dos linfonodos mesentéricos. Conclusão: O diagnóstico é dado pela história clínica, exame físico, incluindo o proctológico e retossigmoidoscoia e/ou colonoscopia com biopsia. O prognóstico depende do estágio evolutivo da lesão, sendo dividido em neoplasia limitada à mucosa e à submucosa; comprometimento da serosa, porém com linfonodos não comprometidos; linfonodos comprometidos.

Authors: Carini Lucas
Published: July 2024

This article aims to carry out a comparative study between the regulation of artificial intelligence systems in the judiciary in Brazil and Italy. The research addresses aspects such as legislation, ethics, privacy, transparency and fairness, in order to identify the main similarities and differences between the two regulations. The methodology used consisted of a comparative approach between Brazilian and Italian regulations, with analysis of legal documents and interviews with experts. The results indicated that both countries have specific legislation for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the judiciary, with significant differences in relation to ethical approach, transparency and privacy. The main findings highlight the importance of broader and more consistent regulation to ensure the fair and transparent use of AI in the judiciary, as well as the need for a broader and more participatory dialogue with civil society to promote more democratic and accountable regulation. It is hoped that this study can contribute to a broader reflection on the regulation of AI by the judiciary at a global level and to the formulation of more effective and fair public policies in this area.

The present study aimed to evaluate the mothers' knowledge about the importance of breastfeeding and its relationship with the presence of deleterious oral habits and malocclusion, using a questionnaire as a search instrument. The sample consisted of 302 mothers present in the waiting room of the outpatient clinic of the Amaury de Medeiros Integrated Health Center – CISAM/UPE. The results showed that most mothers breastfed their children (91.7%), with the most frequent breastfeeding time in the range of zero to six months (47.6%) and considered breast milk very important for the baby (96.4%). Regarding the benefits of breastfeeding for the baby, most mothers believe in the ability to protect against infections (74.2%) and regarding the benefits to mothers, the highest percentage of mothers do not believe that breastfeeding reduces bleeding soon after delivery (80.8%), makes the mother's uterus return more quickly to normal (67.9%) or serves as a method of birth control (85.8%). Regarding deleterious oral habits, most of the interviewees believe that the use of pacifiers (96.7%) and bottles (99.3%) by newborns is contraindicated, as they can harm the child's facial development (92.7%); however, the item "crooked and forward teeth" was the only one strongly related (84.1%). Regarding the sources of information about breastfeeding, most mothers received some professional guidance (77.5%), through doctors (52.0%), leaving a small percentage for dentists (17.5%). It can be concluded that, although there is an awareness of the role of breastfeeding, the results of the study point to a deficit of information for pregnant women. Education as a way to prevent oral problems should be the first option in the professional routine of dental surgeons, both in the public and private care networks.

Published: July 2024

Este estudo apresenta uma análise aprofundada do processo envolvido na abertura de um túnel circular profundo construído num maciço rochoso geotécnico de alta qualidade. A investigação examina as propriedades do material, os parâmetros de entrada do projeto e os resultados resultantes em várias condições, incluindo estados in-situ, elástico linear e elastoplástico. Utilizando a solução de Kirsch para a distribuição de tensões em torno de uma abertura circular, o estudo compara as previsões teóricas com simulações numéricas efectuadas com o software SigmaW. Os resultados validam o modelo numérico em relação à solução analítica de Kirsch, destacando pequenas discrepâncias devido à interpolação de elementos finitos. As conclusões sublinham a importância do refinamento da malha para melhorar a precisão computacional e fornecem informações sobre o comportamento das tensões e dos deslocamentos sob diferentes condições de carga.

Analysis of Hospital Management's Commitment to the Implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System at Cileungsi Hospital
Authors: Darmastuti Bekti
Published: July 2024

Background: Occupational health is an important health element to pay attention to to build safe conditions at work. From national data, there was an increase in the incidence of work accidents by 35.6%. This data is different from global data which shows a 25% increase in the number of work accidents. One of the influencing factors is the commitment of the management. Hospitals as specialized bodies have a more complex risk in work accidents. Therefore, research is needed that shows the commitment of management in the implementation of the occupational safety and health management system.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the commitment of hospital management in the implementation of SMK3 at Cileungsi Hospital
Methods: This study is a qualitative research with triagnomy data collection techniques that are combined with interviews, observations and documentation studies. The research sample is eleven people who are workers from Cileungsi Hospital from several professions.
Results: The results of this study show that the implementation of SMK3 at Cileungsi Hospital has not been fully implemented, even though the commitment of the Hospital Management has been seen with clear and documented guidelines, work programs and reports. However, the implementation has not been maximized due to the lack of socialization about SMK3, uneven training and lack of regular evaluation.
Conclusion:  The commitment of good hospital management needs to be supported by the implementation of good SMK3 to reduce the number of work accidents.

Authors: Mawar Melindah
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Infants have the highest risk of health problems during the neonatal period due to their vulnerable bodies. Infants with low birth weight (LBW) are one of the causes of neonatal mortality. The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia is still high compared to other developing countries.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution to determine the picture of LBW cases with neonatal deaths in East Java Province in 2020-2022.
Method: This study uses a descriptive spatial analytic method using secondary data sourced from East Java Health Profile data in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The population and samples in this study were 38 districts/cities in East Java Province. Data processing uses bivariate maps through the QGIS 3.32.3 application. To support the hypothesis, statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS with Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and Pearson correlation test.
Result: The results show that an increase in LBW will be followed by an increase in neonatal mortality cases. There is a significant relationship between neonatal mortality and LBW in East Java Province in 2020 (p value = 0.013 < 0.05); in 2021 (p value = 0.017 < 0.05), in 2022 (p value = 0.000 < 0.005).
Conclusion: The conclusion of the study is Low Birth Weight Infants (LBW) with Neonatal Mortality Cases in East Java Province in 2020, 2021, to 2022 showed significant results so that, it can be interpreted that there is a strong enough relationship between variables. The relationship between variables produces a positive relationship, so it can be interpreted that an increase in LBW babies is followed by an increase in neonatal mortality cases.

Authors: Rahma Bianita Pratiwi
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Tuberculosis or known as TBC is one of communicable disease that caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This disease is the major of public health problem due to it can spread easily from the patients to the healthy people by air transmission. In order to stop the transmission and improve the health status of the community, treatment is needed for patients with tuberculosis. But, almost people with tuberculosis patients had poor treatment and the factor that contribute to their adherence is depression. Depression and tuberculosis are frequently coexisting in individuals. Depression lead them having negative perception about the treatment and get misconceptions about TB disease. Therefore, most of tuberculosis patients with depression are having lower level of medication adherence.
Objective: The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the association between depression among tuberculosis patients with medication adherence of anti-tuberculosis.
Method:.This study uses the literature review method to review the results of research that has been published by previous researchers. The literature sources obtained were the results of searches from three online databases, namely Google scholars, Pubmed, and Scopus. which published in the range of 2018-2024.
Result: Depression was significantly associated with medication adherence among people who had tuberculosis
Conclusion: Depression appears to be a strong risk factor for treatment failure and default in these people with newly diagnosed tuberculosis and is associated with poor treatment outcome despite successful tuberculosis treatment. This could be happened because of long period time that needed to consume the treatment and complexity of the drug regimen.
