Registros e retratos: a história da mudança
Authors: Scheffel Bruna Oliveira , Drachler Mariéli , Schneider Michele Scheffel
Published: December 2024

Resumo: A escrita buscou registrar e retratar o processo de mudança do PAAS, local que realizamos o Estágio Profissional em Psicologia, considerando duas diferentes produções, no caso os nossos últimos módulos, documento escrito que marca o encerramento do estágio. A ideia surge a partir da supervisão acadêmica, e refere-se ao primeiro semestre do ano de 2024, em que o PAAS saiu do centro da cidade de São
Leopoldo e passou a localizar-se no Campus da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Unisinos), inicialmente no antigo prédio do Direito e depois na entrada da universidade. Nesse sentido, dada a dimensão desse momento tão marcante na sua história, e nas nossas, estagiários que viveram tudo isso juntos ao serviço, reunimos alguns trechos e registros
fotográficos que retratam um pouco desse processo. Assim, o processo de mudança é inevitavelmente repleto de desafios, desconfortos e saudades do que foi deixado para trás, mas também carrega consigo a promessa de novos caminhos, possibilidades e significados. Este é um convite para abraçar o desconhecido, entendendo que o fim de um ciclo é sempre o começo de outro.

The role of Botox in scar treatment: A comprehensive review
Authors: Edosa Derartu Shumet  , Mohammed Hanan Ahmed  , Jaria Jallow
Published: December 2024

Botox is a neurotoxin which is widely used for cosmetic and therapeutic applications. Recently, it has shown promise in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars. This review aims to examine the current literature to assess the efficacy of Botox in managing scars. Its mechanism of action centers on reducing the tension exerted on healing wounds by underlying muscles. This reduction in tension is crucial because excessive muscle movement can disrupt the delicate process of tissue repair, potentially leading to wider, more noticeable, or hypertrophic scars. Other mechanisms include inhibition of fibroblast activity and decreased collagen production. In addition, it reduces the expression of inflammatory markers. In conclusion, Botox is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for hypertrophic scars, keloids as well as post-surgical scars. However it is ineffective in other types of scars.

Authors: Kaustuv Bhuyan  , Triptimoni Borah
Published: December 2024

A one dimensional numerical model is developed to study the vertical movement of the water and virus transport through homogeneous unsaturated porous media. The flow through a variably saturated zone is complicated and it is difficult to describe it quantitatively. As there is often changes in the state and content of soil water during flow so the flow through this zone is considered to be a highly nonlinear problem. In this study finite element scheme computer coded software, HYDRUS-1D is used to simulate the one dimensional flow equation and virus transport equation. This study is mainly carried for all type of unsaturated soil. The study uses a transient flow condition of water flow that is coupled with the convective- dispersive equation for subsurface solute transport. For simulating the partial differential equation of virus transport equilibrium solute transport model is selected with Crank-Nicholson as time weight scheme and Galerkin finite elements as space weight scheme. The viruses that is been employed in this study were the male specific RNA coliphage MS2, and the Salmonella typhimurium phage, PRD1. The result from the simulation indicates that the presence of water content has influence the transport of virus through the unsaturated zone.

Authors: I Gede Bawa Susana  , I Ketut Perdana Putra
Published: December 2024

The main role of the expansion valve in a vapor compression refrigeration system is to regulate the mass flow rate of the refrigerant gas, so the study was conducted to evaluate the effect of variations in the expansion valve capacity on the cooling performance of the Truck Refrigerator unit. This is related to the suitability of the temperature of the products transported using the truck refrigerator, which often experiences damage so that the product or goods are rejected in the market. The study showed that the cold reach time to obtain a temperature of 5oC in the refrigerator truck cooling room when using an expansion valve with a larger cooling capacity (3500) occurred faster than an expansion valve with a standard cooling capacity (2000 W). The Coefficient of Performance (COP) that occurred when using an expansion valve with a standard cooling capacity (2000 W) was 3.099. This value is smaller than the expansion valves with a cooling capacity of 1000 W and 3500 W with values ​​of 3.226 and 3.928, respectively. Using an expansion valve with a cooling capacity that is more significant than the standard was found to produce the highest COP. This also means lower power consumption and, of course, lower electricity bills. The work of the compressor in the refrigeration system is very dependent on the COP value.

Published: December 2024

Exposure to pornographic media among adolescents has become an increasingly concerning issue. High curiosity and technological advancements elevate the risk of adolescents being exposed to pornography. The aim of this study is to determine the exposure to pornographic media among university-level adolescents aged 20-24 years. This study used a quantitative approach with cross-sectional design. This study used secondary data from Nurhidayah Nasution in 2019. The research activities were conducted at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang, South Sumatra, in September 2019. There were 140 teenagers ages 20 to 24 involved in this study which were selected using cluster sampling technique. Data processing was conducted through stages of checking for missing data, editing, coding, and tabulating. Data were analysed univariately, bivariately using the chi-square test, and multivariately using logistic regression tests with predictive models. The results of the analysis show that 39.3% of adolescents are exposed to pornography. There is a significant relationship between gender (p=0.003, PR=2.518, 95% CI (1.306-4.855)), peer behavior (p=0.000, PR=4.000, 95% CI (2.456-6.514)), peer norms (p=0.000, PR=2.441, 95% CI (1.549-3.846)), and lifestyle (p=0.012, PR=1.747, 95% CI (1.160-2.633)) with exposure to pornographic media among adolescents. Exposure to pornographic media is 8.7 times more likely to occur in adolescents with peers exhibiting negative behaviors after being controlled for the confounding variable of peer norms (p=0.000, PR=8.742, 95% CI (3.375-20.342)). As a result, a comprehensive approach is needed through supervision and education involving parents and cross-sectoral government to improve self-control and supervision on digital literacy so that adolescents can filter information wisely and avoid exposure to pornographic media.

Норманны и тюрки-сельджуки в Малой Азии по данным «Хронографии» Маттеоса Урхаеци (Матфея Эдесского)
Authors: Прудников Виталий
Published: December 2024

Для поколений исследователей «Хронография» Маттеоса Урхаеци традиционно является первостепенным источником по истории не только Армении, но и Византии, крестовых походов, Сирии и ислама в период с середины X до середины XII в. Его родной город Эдесса (Урха) издавна стоял на перекрестке цивилизаций, а на протяжении столетий одних завоевателей сменяли другие.

При исследовании межкультурного взаимодействия особый интерес представляет вопрос о том, как именно воспринимал ученый-монах столь различных на первый взгляд представителей «новых» завоевателей: норманнов и тюрок-сельджуков. На протяжении десятилетий они победоносно шествовали навстречу друг другу из глубин Европы и Азии, чтобы сойтись под стенами древнейших городов Малой Азии и Сирии в борьбе за господство.

Authors: Bodaubekov Abbas , Agaidarova Shakhrizat , Zhussipbek Talgat , Gaipov Davronzhon , Balta Nuri
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of feedback provided by teachers versus feedback generated by the Write & Improve platform in enhancing the writing skills of senior undergraduate students enrolled in a “two foreign language” program at a private university in Kazakhstan. The quasi-experimental design involved four teachers, each teaching one control and one experimental class, totaling eight groups of students. Pre- and post-tests were conducted over a period of five weeks, focusing on task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, grammar and accuracy, and overall score. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U tests for pre-test comparisons, and MANCOVA analyses for post-test comparisons. Results show no significant difference in the impact of Write & Improve feedback compared to traditional teacher feedback across multiple dimensions of the writing test, both within individual teachers’ classes and when combined. Longitudinal analysis reveals fluctuating scores over time with no consistent improvement. Thus, the study concludes that the Write & Improve tool is equally effective as teacher feedback in improving students’ writing skills. This implies that educational institutions can potentially integrate technology-based feedback systems like Write & Improve alongside traditional teaching methods to enhance student learning outcomes in writing proficiency.

Se investigó la posibilidad del cultivo de papa de secano en la región central de la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina, comparando su comportamiento con respecto al manejo tradicional bajo riego. Asimismo, fueron analizadas las diferencias de la información agroclimática obtenida entre los cómputos resueltos a partir de datos climáticos disponibles en estadísticas publicadas y la producida con los datos meteorológicos de cada campaña. Mediante el modelo YIELD se simula la fluctuación estacional en el uso del agua del cultivo de papa en siembras semitardías, analizando en particular las rutinas referidas a la Evapotranspiración Máxima (ETMax) y la Precipitación Efectiva (PPEfec). La rutina de PPEfec fue validada por medio de un modelo propuesto para un suelo Haplustol éntico Serie Oncativo, sometido a labranza convencional. La simulación del tratamiento de secano estima un 55% de ciclos improductivos y sólo un 45% factibles, conformados por un 25% donde las limitaciones hídricas no son significativas y un 20% cuyas relaciones hídricas son menos confiables, lo que resulta en una predicción incierta (campañas 1969, 1975, 1983 y 1984). Aunque el coeficiente de variación de ETMax (9%) es menor que el de PPEfec (35%), la acción bioclimática que condiciona la posibilidad favorable del cultivo de secano

This study investigated parents’ experiences of home–school collaboration in Grades 1–9 via the digital platform Wilma, comparing the experiences between primary and lower secondary education. Parents (N = 558; 32.6% of whom were parents of pupils receiving special educational support) answered an online questionnaire. Wilma markings and messages were used more frequently for pupils receiving special educational support. Parents, regardless of support and school level, found the markings rather beneficial. Wilma was perceived as a good technical tool, but as an ambiguous pedagogical tool that lacked common practices. The need for common guidelines for using Wilma is discussed.
Factors Associated with Skill Birth Attendance among the Reproductive Age of Women in Madhesh Province, Nepal

Skilled birth attendance (SBA) is vital for reducing maternal and neonatal mortality. Despite national efforts, disparities in SBA utilization persist, influenced by socio-demographic factors such as socioeconomic status, education, and geographic location. This study utilized data from the 2022 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) involving 734 women of reproductive age in Madhesh Province. Logistic regression was applied to determine the influence of variables like age, birth order, religion, caste/ethnicity, educational attainment, place of residence, and wealth index on the likelihood of SBA-assisted delivery. The analysis revealed significant predictors of SBA utilization. Women aged 30-49 were more likely to utilize SBA services (OR = 3.111, p = .023). Higher birth order was associated with a decreased likelihood of SBA utilization (OR = .15, p < .001), indicating that experience with childbirth might influence the perception of need for skilled attendance. Women with higher educational attainment showed a greater probability of SBA-assisted delivery (OR = 3.983, p = .035), emphasizing the role of education in health service utilization. Additionally, wealth was a strong predictor, with the richest women showing the highest likelihood of SBA assistance (OR = 5.755, p = .004). Contrarily, variables such as rural residence and certain caste/ethnicity groups did not significantly predict SBA usage. The study underscores that age, educational attainment, and wealth are significant determinants of SBA utilization. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to enhance maternal health services, focusing particularly on educational and economic empowerment to bridge the utilization gap. The insights provided could inform policy makers and health practitioners in designing interventions that cater to the diverse needs of the population.

The analysis of the activities and the evaluation of the achievements of the League of Women deputies in the Legislative Sejm (1947–1952) allows us to understand the political position they achieved in the official parliamentary bodies and their influence on legislation. An assessment of their achievements in this field will be more comprehensive when we compare their agency with the achievements of both female parliamentarians not affiliated to the Women’s League and male deputies.

This research discusses the method of making distribution pipes using the Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) welding process, especially for pipes with spiral connections. The material used is API 5L X65. SAW pipes with spiral joints are more commonly used for low-pressure piping systems. However, in certain cases, the production of SAW pipes for Sour Service distribution requires special treatment. Sour Service pipes have a high level of corrosion and residual stress, so Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) is required to prevent Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC). HIC occurs due to the absorption and accumulation of hydrogen gas in the metal, causing the formation and growth of cracks, which is also influenced by residual stress. PWHT is applied to reduce residual stress to reduce the risk of corrosion. PWHT is a process to change the structure of the weld metal by heating the metal at a certain temperature and time. This research shows that variations in PWHT temperature produce an average residual stress that is not much different with less difference than 2%, In corrosion testing with the HIC method shows crack evidence but is still satisfactory NACE MR0175 criteria for pipe PWHT temperature variation conditions
