Objetivou-se avaliar o consumo alimentar, estado nutricional e nível de atividade física de mulheres idosas praticantes de exercício físico. O estudo é parte de um projeto de extensão voltado para atividade física para pessoas idosas. Foram analisados, além do consumo alimentar, o nível de atividade física, estado nutricional e adiposidade corporal de 45 mulheres.  A média de idade das participantes foi de 67,8 anos (DP=6,04). Um elevado percentual (57,8%) estava com excesso de peso e 87,8% apresentaram elevada adiposidade, indicando risco de doenças associadas à obesidade. Observou-se consumo inadequado de gorduras monoinsaturadas, cálcio e vitamina B6. As elevadas frequências de excesso de peso, adiposidade elevada e inadequações do consumo alimentar observadas, evidenciam a importância de intervenções nutricionais associadas à prática de atividade física, na direção de um cuidado integral à saúde das pessoas idosas para melhor qualidade de vida dessa população.

Published: June 2023

WHO declare COVID-19 infection? The effect of any pandemic include but not limited to loss of lives and economical , despite the fact that many countries have taken precautionary measures to prevent the disease from entering their countries or during its occurrence. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the countries that was affected by the imapct of COVID 19 pandemic despite its precautionary measures. Therefore, we will aim to review the precautionary procedures followed by the Kingdom, identify methods of the defect in it, and prepare a practical way to reduce economical losses in the event of another pandemic.The review had been conducted among online medical databases to include Google scholar, PubMed and Cochrane library to include the studies of Governmental policy documents including MOH of Saudi Arabia and World Health Organization besides, precautions taken by Saudi Arabia during the pandemic of SARS in 2012 and 2019, studying its effectiveness and its limitations. Data will be collected, rearranged, and presented in the results section and the proposed strategy that will be defined according to limitations found and the need for compacting new pandemic cost-effectively. The results indicated that Saudi Arabia has taken many precautionary measures, but it lacked several elements facing the spread of the virus. The lack of places for medical isolation was one of the most important element. Therefore, the kingdom was obliged to rent some hotels and luxury places for use in isolation, which increased spending and caused high burden. Based on the study findings, it was concluded the necessity of establishing and providing places designated for isolation and equipped this purpose, to be used in times of pandemic.

Desmids are regarded as clean water algae and also as indicator organisms. Enumeration of Desmids diversity is one of the important criterions in assessing the suitability of water for potable purposes. Contemporary work was carried out with a goal to understand the diversity, monthly occurrence and seasonality of Desmids with respect to Physico-chemical parameters in four wetlands of Koratagere in the state of Karnataka. 4 genera and 13 species of Desmids were identified from the water samples collected from all the four wetlands. Seasonal dynamics of Desmids showed that, the maximum density was recorded during rainy in three wetlands except in Gokulakatte wetland where, it was recorded during summer. Much variation was observed with regard to minimum density. Poor diversity and low density of Desmids indicated that, water in these wetlands as such is not directly used for potable purposes. It is high time to introduce remedial measures to keep wetlands away from reaching eutrophic condition.
Lamentación por Tiro (Ez 28,11-19).
Authors: Del Río Javier
Published: June 2023

La lamentación sobre el rey de Tiro que se encuentra en Ez 28,11- 19 tiene su mejor interpretación en el texto masorético –que podría no ser el original–, según el cual, un rey de Tiro era magnífico y sabio, pero se ensoberbeció y pretendió convertirse en un dios, por lo que Dios lo castiga con la expulsión y aniquilación. La tradición judía ve en ese rey ya sea a Adán, ya a Eva, pero dichas identificaciones, aunque iluminan un aspecto del poema, no explican su conjunto. El hebreo (no vocalizado) se presta a una interpretación diferente de la masorética, en la que el rey de Tiro era realmente un dios, pero que sería destituido y destruido por su soberbia. En esta línea interpretativa, es posible incluir la que relaciona esta lamentación con la creación según mitos ugaríticos y mesopotámicos, presentes también en la Biblia. Dios habría tenido que luchar con otros dioses para establecer orden en la creación.
Los LXX orientaron la lamentación hacia el sumo sacerdote, sin que podamos precisar exactamente cuál. También es posible que esa traducción haya sufrido una glosa que identificaría al rey de Tiro no con el sumo sacerdote, sino con Antíoco IV. Finalmente, la tradición cristiana antigua vio en este rey al mismo Satanás, al que identificó con la serpiente de Gn 3. Aunque esta interpretación es muy popu­lar –en el cristianismo–, no puede erigirse en la explicación de la lamentación, pues tiene muchas diferencias con la historia de Gn 3.
emblema Homo moriens de Hieronymus Wierix
Authors: Renders Helmut
Published: June 2023

O artigo aqui apresentado faz parte de uma elaboração sistemática de estilos iconográficos e suas respectivas mensagens iconológicas da cultura visual cristã, com foco na arte religiosa devocional. A obra em questão é um interessante exemplo flamengo da linguagem visual católica em uso cem anos depois da reforma protestante e criada, provavelmente, entre a Trégua dos Doze Anos e o início da[s] Guerra[s] dos Trinta Anos. É estudo a gravura Homo moriens de Hieronymus Wierix do ano [1609/1619]. Formalmente, trata-se de um emblema clássico composto por uma Inscriptio, Pictura e Subscriptio. A obra é lida por meio do método iconológico de Erwin Panofsky. Conclua-se que se o tom da narrativa visual não é polêmico ou controverso, mas, pastoral e especialmente sensíveis à necessidade religiosa de pessoas que se encontram no leito da morte. Trata-se de um discurso visual “interno” da igreja, que dá jus às ênfases soteriológicas estabelecidas pelo Concílio de Trento em uma perspectiva de cuidado, construindo certezas, para poder enfrentar a inevitável agonia.
Raíces filosóficas de una presencia provocativa en el mundo actual: La reflexión filosófica en el Papa Francisco
Authors: Pignalitti David Antonio
Published: June 2023

El presente análisis pone de manifiesto las principales influencias filosóficas constatables en el pensamiento y la praxis del Papa Francisco, así como también ofrece un esbozo sistemático de las categorías estrictamente filosóficas presentes en la estructura de su reflexión en general. En un primer momento se fundamenta y demuestra la premisa, cuestionada, de la posibilidad de identificar formalmente un pensamiento filosófico en el pontífice. Luego se propone una reconstrucción de las nociones que implica la categoría filosófica de tensión polar, que, en cierto sentido, estructura toda la reflexión del Papa Bergoglio. La noción de tensión polar, o contraste, se ofrece como sentido adecuado a la existencia concreta, capaz de acoger y afirmar las oposiciones de la existencia tal como se dan de hecho, en una dialéctica de contrarios no contradictorios. Francisco propone la categoría de desborde como explicación de la síntesis superadora, imprevisible y novedosa que se da entre los contrarios de la existencia cuando se los aborda dialógicamente.
Filosofia literaria y teorìa mimètica
Authors: Ballen Rodriguez Juan Sebastian
Published: June 2023

Una de las novedades de la teoría mimética consiste en su mirada particular sobre el deseo humano y de sus despliegues en el campo de la literatura, asunto que ha sido materia de estudio por la filosofía, la antropología y la fenomenología. Buscamos a continuación explorar desde los insumos teóricos que se mencionan esbozar algunas ideas sobre la filosofía literaria y cómo estos mismo pueden ser brújula para orientar el lector en el estudio e interpretación de una obra literaria del canon nacional: La Vorágine de José Eustasio Rivera.

¿En qué radica la novedad del planteamiento filosófico que se ha formulado en el presente ensayo? Básicamente en mostrar que la teoría mimética deriva en una filosofía literaria, que conecta con un análisis fenomenológico a propósito de cómo surge la violencia social a la luz de la expresión literaria.

Para llevar a cabo dicho cometido, la propuesto se desglosa de la siguiente manera: en primer lugar, se propone una idea de lo que se entiende por filosofía literaria en relación con la apuesta del pensamiento de René Girard. Hecho esto, se procede a tematizar las relaciones entre fenomenología y teoría mimética en donde se profundiza en el análisis filosófico de los conceptos de la experiencia, el otro, la rivalidad, la vida y el deseo y la relación que guardan con la literatura. En un tercer momento, se propone el análisis filosófico que en clave mimética se aplica a la novela La Voràgine del escritor huilense José Eustasio Rivera.

Finalmente, se propone en las conclusiones otros acercamientos a la teoría del deseo mimético y sus vínculos con el estudio filosófico de la literatura, de cara a la dialéctica del reconocimiento y sus intérpretes contemporáneos según la postura girardiana.
Relanzamiento feminista del legado de Ignacio Ellacuría: repensar «los pobres» desde una perspectiva teológica interseccional
Authors: Azcuy Virginia R.
Published: June 2023

Esta presentación se propone revisitar el legado teológico de Ignacio Ellacuría sobre «los pobres» y sugerir algunas claves bíblico-teológicas para su relanzamiento feminista. En cuanto al pensamiento del autor, en el marco de su soteriología histórica, se recupera su distinción fundamental entre pobres socio-económicos y pobres «con espíritu», su relación con el mensaje de las bienaventuranzas y la actualidad eclesial de su pensamiento. En vistas a un relanzamiento feminista del aporte ellacuriano, se retoman algunos estudios bíblicos de autoras como Elsa Tamez, sobre Agar (cf. Gn 16 y 21,8-21) e Ivoni Richter Reimer, sobre Isabel y María (cf. Lc 1,24-25 y 1,39-56). Estos textos se vinculan por tratar sobre mujeres que sufren, en cuanto tales, pobreza-opresión-humillación y son liberadas-bendecidas-exaltadas por la acción de Dios. Ellos muestran vidas de mujeres marcadas por una trama de opresión y una espiritualidad transformadora. El Magnificat, canto de una mujer humillada y exaltada, resume sin duda esa pobreza «con espíritu» que anticipa la llegada del Reino. En la reflexión final, se busca repensar a «los pobres» desde una perspectiva teológica interseccional, para mostrar la mutua imbricación entre las opresiones de género, clase, etnia y sexualidad. El uso de este enfoque permite ampliar la comprensión teológica de los pobres y desafía el lenguaje en un sentido inclusivo, todo lo cual favorece la visibilidad de la matriz de opresión padecida por las mujeres y el reconocimiento de su acción en procesos de resistencia, liberación y «espiritualización».
Saberes y prácticas en los comienzos del siglo XVII.
Authors: Basilico Brenda
Published: June 2023

El objetivo principal de este artículo consiste en mostrar la organización, institucionalización y control de saberes y prácticas que tienen lugar en diversas representaciones de la armonía universal en los comienzos del siglo xvii. En primer lugar, nos proponemos analizar los fundamentos teológicos, físico-matemáticos y musicales de las nociones de armonía universal evocadas en el intercambio erudito entre Johannes Kepler, Robert Fludd, Marin Mersenne y Pierre Gassendi. En segundo lugar, examinaremos los elementos teóricos y prácticos que garantizan la legitimidad epistemológica de sus demostraciones o experiencias científicas. En particular, procuraremos evitar caer en interpretaciones historiográficas que ponen énfasis en una oposición entre la tradición ocultista, que representa una armonía numerológica, y la revolución científica, que la concibe matemáticamente. De este modo, podremos considerar con justicia los aportes científico-filosóficos y las proyecciones político-religiosas de este debate.

Published: June 2023

The study aims to identify production function equation between labor and capital into the first order Volterra Integral. This research find that in the case of cooperative in Indonesia, first, the labor did not correlate with output of the production. Second, the Volterra integral equation can be developed only with capital and output variables by including the Kernel factor which includes capital in the equity and loan or liability elements. However, the object of research is only the type of cooperative business, even though all cooperatives registered in the government are used. Other type of business can be applied. Practical implication of this research is human resource development needs to be improved because it does not appear to be correlated with the output or performance of the cooperative. Value of this research, first, labor is not correlated with output. Second, this research has produced the Cobb Douglas equation formula with the Volterra Integral as the novelty of this paper.

Authors: Gadelha Antonio José Ferreira , da Rocha Clarice Oliveira , do Nascimento Marcelo Rodrigues , Rocha Luellen Pereira , de Sousa David Aragão , da Cunha Bernardo Vale
Published: June 2023

In this work, malachite green dye was removed from an aqueous effluent using acerola seed as an adsorbent. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, zero charge potential, and acid group concentration techniques. The findings revealed that the adsorbent has a characteristic composition of lignocellulosic materials, as described by the FTIR data, besides having a pH-PZC of 3.5 and a concentration of acid groups of 0.2313 mmol g−1. The central composite design was used for batch experiments, and the effects of three variables were analysed. The optimum conditions (pH, particle size, and adsorbent mass) were 10.0, 600 μm, and 0.8 g, respectively, for 97.52% dye removal. Redlich–Peterson isotherm fitted well to the experimental data (R2 = 0.997 and root-mean-square error (RMSE) = 1.168). From the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity obtained for dye was 103.50 mg g−1. As for the adsorption kinetics, it was found that the pseudo-second-order model sufficiently describes the experimental data (R2 = 0.999 and RMSE = 0.018). Thus, the acerola seed has excellent properties as an adsorbent, demonstrating a remarkable performance and a great capacity to be used in the treatment of aqueous effluents contaminated by dyes.

Published: June 2023

The consecutive removal of fluoride (defluoridation) and pathogens (disinfection) in drinking water through combined electrocoagulation-inline-electrolytic disinfection (EC–ECl2) process with aluminum and dimension-stable mixed oxide electrodes was reported in this study. Laboratory trials were conducted on the effects of flow rate, initial pH, current density, and supporting electrolytes for defluoridation and disinfection processes. The results have shown that with a flow rate of 10 L/h, initial pH of 6, the current density of 9.4 mA/cm2 (EC cell) and 3.1 mA/cm2 (ECl2 cell), supporting electrolyte concentration of 165 mg/L, and electrolysis time of 50 min, a defluoridation rate of 88% (initial concentration of 12.3 mg/L) and complete disinfection (initial fecal coliforms of 19,700 colony-forming units per 100 mL (CFU/100 mL)) can be reached. The final concentration of fluoride and pathogens in treated water was 1.44 mg/L and 0 CFU/100 mL, which are within the acceptable limit of the World Health Organization and the Tanzania Bureau of Standards of 1.5 mg/L and 0 CFU/100 mL, respectively. The EC–ECl2 system is a promising approach for consecutive defluoridation and disinfection of water to save millions from fluorosis and waterborne diseases. However, optimization potential with regard to energetic efficiency and system complexity was identified.
BibPat: Quantum K-means Clustering with Incremental Enhancement
Authors: Deshmukh Shradha , Mulay Preeti
Published: June 2023

Background:

One of the main areas of study within the broader paradigm of quantum machine learning
is quantum clustering (QC). Considering the potential time and cost savings that solutions to realworld
issues employing QC algorithms bring, in comparison to their classical methods, researchers
have recently developed a keen interest in QC. With new algorithms and their applications being
invented virtually every other day, this is still a highly young and fascinating area of research. Based
on the background information provided, this work aims to analyze research and patent databases
spanning twelve years (2010 to mid-2022) to identify and understand the publishing and patent
trends in the field of QC. This study aims to study the topological analyses, important study areas,
relationships, and collaboration patterns that distinguish traditional and developing research clusters.
The graphical representation of the progress of publications and patents over time depends on such
rigorous field mapping. This paper presents a comprehensive list of all the sources through the network,
bibliometric and patentometric (BibPat) analysis, and future research scope in the QC. The
top authors, universities, and research fields were listed after the primary and secondary keywords
connected to the quantum K-means clustering algorithm in the analysis design. Reviewing the articles
and then delving into the specifics of the patents will help us evaluate the total body of work on
the quantum K-means clustering technique. Using the thorough BibPat tools and numerous research
and patent databases like Scopus, IEEE, ACM, Google Scholar, Lens, Google Patents, and
Espacenet, the analysis design displays the patents and journal papers that have been published. Additionally,
it is crucial for later research because it aids in the identification of areas for current research
interests and possible avenues for future study. QC offers various studies in disciplines from
computer science to psychology. The Ministry of Education, China, produced most publications.
Since 2014, the trend has been up, and experts continue studying the issue. The BibPat analysis
shows that the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation has facilitated funding for cutting-edge
research. In order to open the door for future research and investigation on the substantial amount of
unstructured real-time data, the report concluded by proposing an incremental QC approach.

The calculation of the SROI ratio shows that every IDR 1 invested generates IDR 1.66 of social value. Thus, the program can be said to be effective so that it can be further implemented.
A importância da competência intercultural em agências europeias do domínio da justiça e dos assuntos internos
Authors: Ramos Natália , Cabaço João José Silva
Published: June 2023

European Agencies are places of multiculturalism in their daily operation and of great diversity of nationalities and cultures. In these transnational organizations characterized by great cultural and ethnic diversity, their professionals must have cultural sensitivity and awareness, developing intercultural skills for a better performance. Thus, the objective is focused on the analysis of the different domains of intercultural competence and on the perceptions and importance that these professionals give to it in organizations where everyone has to cooperate towards a common goal. European agencies require their own social and cultural learning behaviour due to their context and missions, where learning from others and intercultural communication are increasingly complex and challenging in these scenarios. We are constantly bombarded with ideas and manifestations related to tolerance, peace, human rights, anti-racism, equal opportunities, among others related to cultural diversity and the priority missions of these agencies, but we also daily glimpse the other side of violence and intercultural conflict due to the various manifestations of prejudice, stereotypes, intolerance, racism, xenophobia, marginalization, exploitation and social exclusion, which despite being "officially" banned from various services and public spaces, continue to manifest themselves in a clear and sometimes without any kind of control. The investigation has an exploratory character in which the object of the research is not yet described or studied directly in the European Agencies, raising several questions, of which we highlight some of the ones that we will address: What is the perception of the importance of intercultural competence and what differences are there among the European Agencies? Could the mission of each agency influence the response of its professionals on the importance of intercultural competence?
Mobilidades e territórios de espera. Aeroportos – algumas notas geográficas
Authors: Fernandes João Luís J.
Published: June 2023

As strategic infrastructures, vital services and structuring nodes for the spatial mobility of people and products, international airports have shaped new maps, different geographic patterns. Because of that, airports multiplied the cartography of borders and created new territories with potential insecurity. Among the most common causes of this insecurity, there may be the forced interruption of mobilities. Disruption of flights, due to strikes or other factors such as weather crisis, can lead to serious and systemic problems that may affect a large number of passengers. The inability to regulate and effectively control the transit of passengers and goods entering, leaving or passing through these geographic platforms leads to another vulnerability. This incapacity may be the source of multiple forms of illicit mobility or even trafficking in people, goods or others. To reduce and mitigate potential risks, especially since the attacks of September 11, 2001 (in the United States of America), airports have become territories for surveillance, walls and reinforced boundaries. Symbols of a globalization that has expanded because borders have become more diffuse, porous and permeable, airports reflect the contradictions of contemporaneity. While increasing global connectivity, reducing relative distances and promoting time-space compression, airports use multiple material and immaterial devices and strategies to organize themselves as closed, confined and selective territories.
Spatial evolution and archaeological contextualization through Holocene Edapho-sedimentary deposits: Areoso Island (NW Spain)

Published: June 2023

Areoso Island is located in the inner part of the Ría de Arousa, located on the Atlantic coast of northwestern Spain. With an area of 8 ha, it has a high density of Neolithic burial mounds. The island has a varied geomorphological heritage, highlighting the granite geoforms or the presence of edapho-sedimentary deposits. These coastal deposits are quaternary formations made up of unconsolidated material, which appear discontinuously throughout the Galician coastline. The analysis of its facies allows to detect past environmental changes, the study of which is of great interest in the field of Earth Sciences and of great use for other disciplines such as Archeology. the island has a high archaeological interest, highlighting the documented presence of five Neolithic funerary tumuli. At present, these constructions are threatened by marine erosion, derived from unique morphodynamic conditions. The deposits were sampled in different sectors and environments of the island, obtaining an almost continuous chronological sequence of the edapho-sedimentary formation during the last 6000 years. This allowed reconstructing the palaeoenvironmental evolution, differentiating several stages, where the Holocene transgression played a fundamental role in its formation. 6000 years ago, with a sea level lower than today, the emerged surface was much higher than in the present, and could even be connected to the continent. These facts are relevant to archaeological interpretation, as they suggest that the burial mounds were not built in a coastal setting. The study of the ancient deposits of Areoso allows obtaining different proxies (sedimentary, geochemical, biological, archaeological), which are of great help to interpret the archaeological context, since anthropic activities are reflected in the resulting deposits. The high scientific and didactic interest of the ancient edapho-sedimentary formations makes it necessary to put them in value. This palaeoenvironmental information means that they should be considered natural heritage. In the current context of rising sea levels, many of them are seriously threatened, so it is necessary to promote their management and geoconservation, to the extent that natural processes allow. The objective of this work is to value them and proclaim their importance as environmental records.
O Porto retratado por estrangeiros em livros e guias de viagem nas épocas moderna e contemporânea – plano de investigação
Authors: Braga José Luís
Published: June 2023

This paper aims to present a research plan concerning the books and travel guides that portrayed, during the modern and contemporary era, the city of Porto from the outsiders' point of view. The research problem arises from the lack of studies on the History of Tourism, both in Portugal and, more specifically, in Porto. As far as the general objectives of the broader research we are undertaking are concerned, they are the following: (a) to determine the evolution of the tourist image formulated by foreigners in travel guides and books of the early and late modern eras; (b) to know the evolution of the tourism system (transportation, accommodation, restaurants and eating houses, entertainment) in Porto in the modern era; (c) try to recognize the evolution of the tourist organization of the destination "Porto" in its concatenation with the evolution of the tourist organization of the destination "Portugal" in the contemporary era; (d) recognize typologies of traveller that can emanate from the guidebooks; (e) recognize the evolution of propaganda and its conversion into marketing of the destination "Porto". Travel narratives can be written by tourists, scientists, artists, etc. An historian, José Amado Mendes, states that the quality of these manuals is proportional to the aptitude of the travellers who write them, but it also depends on the perspective through which they scrutinize reality. Regarding the use of primary sources, in addition to the guides, it is expected that periodicals and documents issued by the tourism organization authorities will be analysed.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is an economically important crop worldwide and one of the most popular species grown in indoor farming. Lettuce's fast growth and growing cycle make lettuce a model plant to study the interaction between plants and light. The influence of light is one of the fundamental environmental factors for plant growth and development. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have higher light efficiency and higher wear efficacy, leading to a reduction in associated heating compared to other artificial lighting sources, such as fluorescent lamps or sodium vapor lamps. This research aimed to determine different responses of the morphological response of lettuce by giving LED light spectrum with a single color spectrum difference and IOT-based temperature and humidity monitoring. This research used a t-student test with a level of 5% on the mean value of the white light spectrum with a yellow light on lettuce plants. The addition of the LED light spectrum produces a different response to the morphological parameters. The addition of the LED spectrum gave a response to the plant height variable, where the provision of a yellow LED light spectrum resulted in plant height which affected lettuce plants

A hal- és halászati termékek az emberi táplálkozás egyik kulcsfontosságú alapanyagai közé sorolhatók, s ennek következtében mind a termelés, mind pedig a kereskedelem szempontjából kiemelkedő fontosságú. A különböző feldolgozottságú haltermékek a világ számos országában elérhetőek, köszönhetően a globalizációnak és a gyors ellátási láncnak. Vizsgálatunk során szekunder adatgyűjtés segítségével vizsgáltuk a hal- és halászati termékek piacát. Az adatok több évre visszamenőleg kerültek begyűjtésre a FAO, az EUROSTAT, a COMTRADE és a KSH adatbázisaiból. A nemzetközi kereskedelem alapján megnyilvánuló komparatív előnyöket vagy hátrányokat az RCA-index segítségével határoztuk meg a különböző haltermék kategóriák esetében hazánk és az EU-27 világszinten betöltött szerepe esetében. Kutatásunk célja összehasonlítani a hazai és az Uniós különböző feldolgozottságú haltermékeit a nemzetközi helyzethez viszonyítva, különös figyelmet fordítva a főbb exportáló és importáló országokra. A tanulmány részletesen vizsgálja a kereskedelem sajátosságait, az elmúlt években megfigyelhető tendenciákat, valamint az RCA-index alapján a haltermékek versenyképességét Magyarország és az Európai Unió tagállamainak tekintetében, valamint az eredmények mögött álló ok-okozati összefüggéseket.

This study aimed to determine the effect of the learning model Cooperative Type Script Against Student Learning Activities. The method used in this study is an experimental research method using a research design experiment that aims to determine the difference in the increase in student learning activities who learn to use the Learning Model Cooperative Type Script (experimental class) with students who do not use conventional learning models (control class) in economics subjects, observations are used to see teacher activities and. This study's results indicate differences in student learning activities between the experimental class and the control class after doing the treatment. The experimental class uses a script-type cooperative learning model, and the control class uses a conventional method. This is shown in the results of the analysis. It can be seen that the value of tcount is greater than ttable or 2.717 2.002. This is following the Asymp. Sig. value of 0.009 which is less than the value of 0.05. So there are differences in student learning activities after treatment in the experimental and control classes.

The paper presents analysis of different factors affecting the uncertainty model for estimating ra-diation risk from computed tomography (CT). Uncertainties in radiation doses estimates caused by measurement (instrumental) errors or used dose estimation methods, the size of the scanned area and the type of CT scanner. The uncertainty of radiation dose due to measurement errors or dose estimation methods, the size of the scanned area and type of a CT scan may cause the uncertainties as well. Data used for calculating equivalent doses in individual organs and tissues and for calculating lifetime radiation risk of cancer development due to routine CT testing were updated. Conversion factors for DLP, a measure of radiation dose a patient received during CT exams of thoracic, abdomen and head organs, were determined and used for conversion of the CT doses to equivalent doses for individual organs and tissues exposed to radiation. Data for 15 state-of-the-art CT scanners with varying scanning geometry were updated. Uncertainties in life-time radiation risk were determined by estimating 95% confidence intervals for mean dose-proportionality ratios. Standard deviations related to specific dose distribution, scanning geometry and other factors that impact on uncertainty of radiation risk estimates were calculated. The standard deviations associated with the specifics of the dose distribution, scanning geometry and other factors affecting the uncertainties of radiation risk assessments were calculated. In the course of simulation modelling, organs and tissues were identified that are most exposed to radiation during CT of the chest, abdomen and head.
