Introduction: The prevalence of scabies cases in Palembang from data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in January 2020 was 8.3% and December 2020 was 4.5%. The incidence of scabies in Islamic boarding schools is still very high. There are 20 dormitories that can accommodate 10 to 15 students, with foam mattresses lined up for sleeping and stacked when not in use. There are also 4 bathrooms and toilets with large toilets. The source of water used daily is well water which may be brown in color. The habit of changing towels, prayer equipment, clothes, hand towels, even soap. Research Method: The type of research to be carried out is Quantitative research with a Cross Sectional design and a sampling method, namely simple random sampling. The location of the research is at the Al-Falah Sukajaya Islamic Boarding School, Bayung Lencir District, South Sumatra Province. The analysis used in this study is the Chi Square Test. Research Results: The sample in this study amounted to 77 people. The symptoms of scabies with the highest frequency of experiencing symptoms of scabies were 48 (62.4%) respondents, while those who did not have symptoms were 29 (37.7%) respondents. The results of this study indicate that knowledge has a p-value of 0.000 (p = <0.05), the knowledge of students has a p-value of 0.000 (p = <0.05), the role of Islamic boarding school officers has a p -value of 0.0030 (p = <0.05), and the utilization of facilities and infrastructure p-value 0.004 (p = <0.05) with the incidence of scabie Conclusion: Lack of knowledge of students, student behavior, the role of Islamic boarding school elders, utilization of health facilities and infrastructure can increase the risk of scabies. Therefore, it is hoped that there will be improvements in the health aspects of students, such as education and supervision of students, training for officers, and optimal utilization of facilities and infrastructure.

Authors: Hendrik Probo Sasongko  , Febrika Devi Nanda
Published: December 2024

Sleep disorders in the elderly are a problem that can affect overall health. The lighting factor during sleep is thought to influence sleep quality through inhibiting melatonin production and disrupting circadian rhythms. This research used a cross-sectional design with a total sampling of 44 elderly respondents in Sidodadi Village, Banyuwangi. The independent variable is lighting (bright, dim, dark), while the dependent variable is sleep quality. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test. Most respondents slept in darkness (52.4%), and the majority had good sleep quality (83.3%). However, the results of the chi-square test showed that there was no significant relationship between lighting and sleep quality (p-value = 0.066).  This research concludes that lighting does not have a statistically significant relationship with the sleep quality of the elderly in Sidodadi Village. Further research is needed to consider other variables that may influence sleep quality in older adults.

The aim of this article is to study the teaching of the object 'modelling process' to secondary school pupils in Morocco. We are interested in the conditions and constraints of its dissemination in the mathematics classroom. The analysis is based on the Anthropological Theory of Didactics and uses the modelling process model of (Chevallard, 1999) to characterise the praxeologies (Bosch and Gascon, 2005) relating to the modelling process. Downstream of the need for knowledge relating to mathematical modelling, this study enabled us to illustrate the claim to implement didactic praxeologies specific to the modelling approach. Setting up a real situation with these pupils enabled us to identify the influence exerted by the modelling praxeologies on the pupils' results and the influence of external intervention when they were faced with a modelling situation. As a result, we noted a discrepancy between the modelling taught in the mathematics classroom and that designed by the experts.

Due to investor dependence on subjective estimations that worsen information asymmetry and result in economic inequities, fair value accounting significantly increases the volatility of financial statements. Therefore, the study tends to examine the relationship between fair value accounting and the socio-economic environment in Nigeria. Used descriptive and exploratory research designs and utilized primary data through a structured questionnaire. The population consists of 300 accountants, auditors, and financial analysts employed in the banking and manufacturing of Ondo State. A minimum of 250 respondents with professional qualifications are sampled for the study. Regression analysis was performed to find relationships between fair value accounting and the socio-economic environment in Nigeria. The finding of this study revealed that accounting standards and regulatory frameworks significantly influence fair value accounting and the socio-economic environment in Nigeria. At the same time, economic policies have in significant influence on fair value accounting and the socio-economic environment in Nigeria. The study concludes that the stability of the economy as well as investment behaviour are impacted by volatility. Although fair value accounting makes financial reporting more timely and relevant, its effects on the socioeconomic context must be carefully considered. Regulators, standard-setters, and stakeholders must continuously evaluate and improve the framework to strike a balance between the potential for market distortion and inequity and the need for transparency. The study makes the following recommendations: entities should disclose how fair value estimates are sensitive to changes in market conditions and underlying assumptions to provide insight into the potential impact of market volatility on financial statements; regulators and policymakers should provide additional support and resources for smaller entities to manage the costs and complexities associated with fair value accounting.

Authors: Khongpracha Pipat , Pongprayoon Prapasiri , Prasittichai Chaiya , Nokbin Somkiat
Published: December 2024

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on an SiO2 surface were investigated using periodic DFT calculations. The stability of SAMs on SiO2 surfaces was influenced by modifications in head groups, coverage, and space group length. Three molecules were considered as trial molecular chains: methyltrichlorosilane (CH3SiCl3), acetyl chloride (CH3COCl), and methylphosphonic acid (CH3PO(OH)2), with CH3SiCl3 being chosen because of the stable chemisorption complex of its -SiCl3 functional group to the surface and the nonpolar hydrophobic nature of CH3. The stability of each SAM was evaluated using the molecular chain length in terms of CH3(CH2)nSiCl3, where n = 0-9, and three distinct coverages (1/4, 1/2, and 1 ML). Our findings revealed that coverage and molecular chain length had a major influence on SAM stability, with van der Waals interactions outweighing steric interactions during molecular chain lengthening.

Treatment outcomes in NTM-PD in a high TB burden context
Authors: Kang S. , Schmidt J.E. , Chen I. , Tiberi S.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease (PD) is a significant concern in China, compounding the existing burden of TB. This review aims to summarise the treatment outcomes for NTM-PD in China.

METHODS
We
reviewed the evidence on NTM-PD, including treatment regimens and clinical outcomes, from 17 studies identified through screening of three Chinese biomedical databases.

RESULTS
Antimicrobial treatment showed a microbiological cure rate ranging
from 17.2% to 60.0% in studies with ≥50 NTM-PD patients, with lower rates observed among older and malnourished patients. The Mycobacterium chelonae abscessus group (MC-AG) and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) were the most prevalent NTM species in China. Higher
microbiological cure rates were seen in MAC PD compared with MC-AG PD. The addition of cefoxitin and linezolid improved culture conversion rates in MC-AG-infected patients. One study (n = 24) demonstrated that resecting lesions and chemotherapy led to more favourable clinical outcomes.

CONCLUSION
Treatment
regimens recommended in Chinese guidelines yielded poor-to-moderate outcomes for NTM-PD in China, highlighting the need for further research into alternative antimicrobial treatments to improve efficacy.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND
Computer-aided detection (CAD) tools for TB detection have the potential to enable screening programmes and reduce the diagnostic gap in settings where access to radiologists is limited. However, there are concerns that other common
chest X-ray (CXR) abnormalities not due to TB may be missed.

METHODS
We assessed the performance of three commercialised CAD tools (qXR, INSIGHT CXR and DrAIDTM TB XR) to detect common non-TB abnormalities against readings with
a standardised annotation guide by an expert radiologist. More than 20 well-characterised diagnoses besides TB significant in TB high-burden countries were examined.

RESULTS
The 517 CXRs included were deemed abnormal by the three CAD with
a sensitivity of respectively 97% (95% CI 95–98), 94% (95% CI 91–95), and 87% (95% CI 84–90) for INSIGHT CXR, qXR, and DrAID. The CAD generally detected abnormalities in patients with critical diagnoses such as lung cancer or heart failure. Performance for detecting other
abnormalities was variable.

CONCLUSION
This study showed that the three CAD tools identified CXRs as abnormal when diseases other than TB were present. Our findings alleviate ethical concerns of missing abnormalities other than TB when using
commercially available CAD for TB screening and show their potential broader applicability.

Published: December 2024

A vida feminina adulta é dividida em três estágios: reprodutivo, transição para a menopausa e pós-menopausa, conforme o Workshop de Estágios de Envelhecimento Reprodutivo (STRAW). Compreender essas fases é crucial para que as mulheres enfrentem os desafios de cada uma e busquem orientação adequada. Este estudo investigou o conhecimento das mulheres sobre seu estágio de envelhecimento reprodutivo, comparando suas autodeclarações com as definições do STRAW. Foram analisadas as respostas de 58 mulheres, com idades entre 40 e 75 anos. A maioria (76%) apresentou boa correspondência entre suas autodeclarações e as definições do STRAW, indicando uma compreensão geral sobre o processo. No entanto, 24% não corresponderam às definições, mesmo com orientação médica. Esses resultados destacam a importância de aumentar a conscientização sobre os estágios do envelhecimento reprodutivo, especialmente durante a transição para a menopausa e a pós-menopausa, uma vez que falhas na identificação podem levar a diagnósticos tardios ou tratamentos inadequados. A educação contínua é essencial para que as mulheres tomem decisões informadas e melhorem sua qualidade de vida nesse período.

O pimentão é uma das hortaliças mais cultivadas nas regiões norte e nordeste do Brasil. Devido as condições climáticas não favoráveis destes locais a irrigação por pulsos surge como alternativa para viabilizar o plantio. Dessa forma, objetivou-se determinar a técnica de fracionamento (pulso) de irrigação que proporcione o melhor produtividade e eficiência no uso da água para a cultura do pimentão. O experimento foi desenvolvido em duas épocas, um cultivo no período das águas (maio a julho) e outro cultivo no período de estiagens (agosto a outubro de 2019), na área experimental do Grupo Irriga no Campus Arapiraca da Universidade Federal de Alagoas. O delineamento experimental utilizado em blocos casualizados (DBC), com 7 repetições e 5 parcelas contendo 7 plantas cada. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por 5 pulsos de irrigação com intervalo de aplicação de 60 minutos entre cada pulso: Pulso 1 (Pulso contínuo), Pulso 2, fracionamento da lâmina de irrigação em duas aplicações; Pulso 3, em três aplicações; Pulso 4, em quatro aplicações e Pulso 5, em cinco aplicações diárias. As variáveis analisadas foram a produtividade e a eficiência no uso da água do pimentão. O maior rendimento foi obtido em época de chuvas, mostrando a importância de complementar a irrigação em períodos de chuvas. Os pulsos de irrigação tiveram as maiores variações na época de estiagem, com maiores magnitudes na 2ª colheita.
Comparison of the combinations of Fourier pseudospectral method, finite volume method, Euler method and fourth order Runge-Kutta method used to solve Burgers equation
Authors: Faria Geovanne Silva , Nascimento Andreia Aoyagui , Mariano Felipe Pamplona
Published: December 2024

The Burgers equation is a mathematical model frequently used in Computational Fluid Dynamics. It is often employed to test and calibrate numerical methods, as it is one of the few nonlinear transport equations with an exact analytical solution. In this paper, numerical solutions are obtained using the Finite Difference Method (FDM) and the Fourier Pseudospectral Method (FPSM) for spatial discretization, combined with the Euler Method and the Fourth-Order Runge-Kutta Method (FRKM) for time discretization. The results are compared with the exact analytical solution in terms of accuracy, convergence rate, and computational cost. The findings indicate that the combination of the FDM and Euler Method achieves excellent computational efficiency when compared to the other approaches. Meanwhile, the combination of FPSM and FRKM demonstrates superior accuracy (achieving round-off errors) and a high order of convergence (spectral convergence order). Thus, combining methods with similar convergence rates and accuracy is the optimal strategy for obtaining efficient numerical solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs).

One way to increase the profitability of turtle farming is to provide even more differentiated products, for example, by adding value to the products and making them healthier for consumers. Moreover, M. flexuosa can be used as an alternative food for the incorporation of beneficial properties into products derived from animals that feed on this fruit. The present study aimed to evaluate the carcass yield, chemical composition, and meat and fat color of reproductive age yellow-spotted river turtle (Podocnemis unifilis) fed different levels of M. flexuosa fruit-based supplements for 30 and 50 days. Supplementation for a period of up to 50 days did not affect the carcass yield of the animals, and supplementation caused changes in the coloration patterns of the meat and fat of the animals after 30 days of supplementation.

Published: December 2024

Segundo dados da Secretaria de Administração Penitenciária e Ressocialização (SAP), em fevereiro de 2024, das 948 pessoas presas no Estado do Ceará, 384 se enquadram como presos provisórios. A prisão provisória corresponde à medida cautelar processual penal mais grave prevista na ordem jurídica, e só deve ser decretada em situações excepcionais. Muitas dessas pessoas foram enquadradas como praticante de tráfico ocasional ou privilegiado, ou seja, quando o comércio de droga é praticado por agente primário, de bons antecedentes e que não se dedique às atividades criminosas nem integre organização criminosa. Diante disso, este estudo chama atenção para esta realidade alarmante. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica e documental. As bases de dados utilizadas foram redalyc, scielo e google scholar. Os dados documentais coletados através de fontes primárias foram as sentenças de tráfico de drogas na comarca de Fortaleza e em outros municípios cearenses, além de relatórios e tabelas estatísticas do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Ceará e do Departamento Penitenciário Nacional. A partir desse conjunto de informações que desvelaram a realidade citada que é analisada à luz de bases teóricas como o garantismo penal e a criminologia crítica. Como conclusão, destaca-se a relevância de uma análise aprofundada da interação entre o crime de tráfico privilegiado e a prisão preventiva, com vistas a esclarecer se o tratamento jurídico conferido ao traficante privilegiado viola garantias fundamentais do cidadão, assim como questiona-se se essas ocorrências resultam de um processo de criminalização operado pelo sistema de justiça.

Mogući pravci reforme pravila FIFA o igranju za reprezentaciju
Authors: Tintor Ljubomir
Published: December 2024

Fudbal je postao mnogo više od sporta, jer njegovi uspesi mogu homogenizovati naciju i doprineti zajedništvu. Globalni procesi poput migracija utiču na sastav reprezentacija, stvarajući kombinaciju domaćih, domaćih imigranata i stranih imigranata. FIFA je uvela pravila o kvalifikovanosti kako bi olakšala selekciju reprezentacija za međunarodna takmičenja, ali ta pravila su pod kritikom zbog svoje stroge prirode i emocionalnog stresa koji izazivaju kod igrača prili-kom odabira reprezentacije za koju će nastupati. Potreba za reformom pravila FIFA-e se nameće kako bi se osigurala bolja ravnoteža između sportskih interesa i poštovanja nacionalnog identiteta. Ovaj rad analizira pitanje reforme pravila FIFA o igranju za reprezentaciju kroz analizu, trenutnih FIFA pravila. Takođe sagledava se kako je pitanje promene sportskog državljanstva i naturalizacija sportista regulisana u drugim sportovima i pravilima Međunarodnog olimpijskog komiteta.
COLONIALIDADE DO SER

Desfazer saberes exige revisitar nas origens a epistême, ou conjunto epistêmico que se pretende subverter, desconstruir e ressignificar identificando o modo que estes foram instituídos e em qual, ou quais, pontos da História, foram impostos e sobre quais circunstâncias. Dentre estes saberes estão as colonialidades praticadas pelas potências europeias nas Américas, onde enfatizamos que o processo colonizador não restringiu as práticas econômicas e políticas, onde nitidamente os povos originários sofreram o que podemos chamar de colonialidade do ser. Os povos milenares aqui presentes desenvolveram culturalidade, religiosidade e sistemas políticos e sociais complexos e apesar de possuírem todas essas características que constituíam suas identidades e modos de vida, sofreram um processo de redução etnocêntrica, em que a ótica europeia em vários momentos promoveu o desrespeito e agressões. Este trabalho objetivou identificar elementos que carecem ser descontruídos presentes no discurso e herança desta mentalidade  analisando um dos dispositivos normativos implementados pela coroa portuguesa que foi o  “Diretório dos Índios” também conhecido como “Diretório Pombalino” que em linhas gerais previa a “civilização do gentio” o que já permite delinear como os povos originários eram situados pelo Estado português em seu “projeto” de inserção desta região na dinâmica social e econômica euro mercantil.

Este trabalho é de natureza qualitativa, de tipo descritivo-exploratório. Possui como objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura para abordar pontos comuns e dessemelhantes entre os fundamentos e reflexões de estudos que se propõe a abordar os Direitos Sexuais e Reprodutivos em diálogo com o campo da Educação. Foram selecionados ao final do levantamento 11 artigos, os quais foram discutidos em formato de categorias mutuamente excludentes, sendo elas: Categoria central: fundamentos em prol da cidadania universal; e subdividida em três subcategorias: 1.1 Direitos das identidades LGBTs (3 artigos); 1.2 direitos da mulher (6 artigos); 1.3 fundamentos teóricos contra a descriminação da sexualidade e do gênero (2 artigos). A limitação encontrada no estudo foi antes a produção ligada ao tema, pois ela vai temporalmente em sentido contrário a discussão emancipadora que a revisão do estado da arte permitiu desenvolver na introdução problematizando o tema. Apesar disso estudos decoloniais, descolonizadores e pós-coloniais vem se tornando cada vez mais comuns. A partir disso, se defende a necessidade de produções independentes do modelo universalista e mais problematizador sobre suas raízes epistemológicas para a ação e compreensão da realidade.
Das Recht auf Bildung in der BRK
Authors: Egloff Barbara
Published: December 2024

Vor zehn Jahren ist die Schweiz der Behindertenrechtskonvention (BRK) beigetreten. Damals hielt der Bundesrat fest, die entsprechenden Anforderungen wären bereits weitgehend erfüllt. Insbesondere auch im Bereich Bildung vertrat er den Standpunkt, mehr als die geltenden Garantien des Schweizer Rechts würden nicht verlangt. In seiner bisherigen Rechtsprechung schliesst sich das Bundesgericht dieser Auffassung an, ohne auf die BRK näher einzugehen. Im Jahr 2022 überprüfte der zuständige UNO-Ausschuss zum ersten Mal den Stand der BRK-Umsetzung in der Schweiz. Insbesondere im Bildungsbereich ist die Kritik schwerwiegend. Wozu verpflichtet das Recht auf Bildung in der BRK und wo steht die Schweiz?

Nematicidalactivities of extracts from plants were assayed against Meloidogyneincognita. Ten different plants were collected from in and around Sivakasiarea. The plants were shade dried and powdered. The plant extracts were preparedby soxhlet apparatus using methanol as a solvent. Methanol extracts of tenplants were screened for egg hatchability and nematicidal activity againstsecond stage juveniles of M. incognita in the laboratory. Thenematode egg and juveniles exposed 24, 48 and 72 hrs in different concentrations(10 ppm to 100 ppm) of plant extracts. The plant extracts of Couroupita quianensisand Nepeta cataria exhibited highly promising mortality 73-86% after72 hrs exposure. There was a gradual decrease in egg hatching with increase inextract concentration. Nepeta cataria, Couroupita quianensis and Pentanemaindicum were found to be most effective in reducing egg hatching. Larvalhatching and nematode mortality were strongly influenced by concentration of extract,plant species and duration of exposure.

The study wascarried out to determine the antifeedant activity of different solvent extracts(0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5%) of Calotropis procera leaves against thirdinstar larvae of Spodoptera litura by leaf dip method. The maximum activitywas recorded in chloroform extract followed by hexane, ethanol, acetone, ethylacetate and methanol. Chloroform extract exhibited the best larvicidal activityagainst the S. litura. The antifeedant activity was directlyproportional to the concentration of the extract. Antifeedant effect in insectis one of the major parameters to assess the efficacy of crop protections. Theresults clearly indicate that the chloroform extract of C. procera possessesmany useful properties to control insect pests.

Botanicalpesticides have pesticidal or ovicidal or ovipositional or antifeedant orrepellent activities. The development of resistance to existing conventionalsynthetic pesticides and the increasing public concern over environmentalpollution and health hazards created by synthetic pesticides, generate a greatneed for new types of pest management agent’s advantage with higher activityagainst the target pests, and lower impact on humans and environmental quality.By keeping this idea in our mind, experiments were carried out to formulate andto determine the repellency of thallus extract and emulsifiable concentrations(EC) of Caulerpa scalpelliformis (R.Br.) Web. V. Bosse against thirdstadium Spodoptera litura larvae and Dysdercus cingulatus nymphsby Yshape olfactometer. Obtained results indicated that the formulated sea weedextract showed more repellent property than crude extract in dose dependentmanner. Crude chloroform extract highly repel S. litura (API = -1.00 at150 min after exposure) than D. cingulatus (API = -1.00 at 180 min afterexposure) than methanol and hexane extract of C. scalpelliformis. Allthe prepared EC formulations (EC 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0%) having good physicallystable and were highly effective against S. litura and D. cingulatus respectively.Hence, C. scalpelliformis -based formulation can be utilized forthe management of agricultural pests like S. litura and D.cingulatus.

Nos últimos anos, especialistas em educação têm discutido com frequência o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, principalmente, no que diz respeito à valorização de uma aprendizagem mais construtiva, participativa, motivadora e crítica por parte dos alunos. Neste cenário, importantes metodologias vêm ganhando destaque, entre elas as Metodologias Ativas e o Pensamento Computacional. Este trabalho utiliza as Metodologias ativas (Baseada em Projeto e a Gamificação) como instrumentos estimuladores, no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de uma oficina, para a construção do Pensamento Computacional Paralelo. Os conteúdos abordados, montagem e configuração de um cluster Beowulf e uma introdução aos conceitos da Programação Paralela, tiveram como público alvo os alunos dos cursos Técnicos em Informática e de Manutenção e Suporte em Informática do Instituto Federal do Pará - Campus Abaetetuba. A escolha desse público se justifica pela ausência desses conteúdos em suas respectivas matrizes curriculares. Os resultados foram satisfatórios, pois os alunos ressaltaram, na avaliação realizada, além da importância dos conceitos abordados, uma grande aceitabilidade e motivação sobre as metodologias utilizadas.
