Projetos da Escola cívico-militares: um paliativo para possível melhora na educação Brasileira
Authors: Serralheiro Cosme Alves
Published: June 2023

O presente artigo como objetivo prioritário debater as ações e resultados eficazes sobre a importância da implantação das Escola Cívico-Militar no âmbito dos Estados e como elas podem contribuir para reduzir as evasões escolares e melhorar os índices da educação na configuração social Brasileira. Buscando como paliativo melhorar o ensino (re)moldar os comportamentos das crianças e jovens, e trazendo em seu bojo um conceito específico de gestão na área educacional. Esse novo modelo está sendo um recurso bem visto, para pais e alunos. Porém, há grupos antagônicos contrários a essa implantação. O Ministério da Educação em Parceria com a Ministério da Defesa, esta apoiada pelas secretarias de educação dos Municípios, têm contribuído, ao lado da comunidade, como um todo, no sistema didático-pedagógico para combater as desigualdades e a violência, tendo como pilar uma educação democrática, é claro tendo como aliados seus monitores e gestores, representados por militares da reserva das Forcas Armadas e Auxiliares, fazendo com que pais, alunos, professores e funcionários, tenham comprometimento com esse projeto. Desta forma, os resultados apontam para um relativa aceitabilidade da comunidade próxima às escolas nesse modelo e o quanto esse projeto tem contribuído em uma mudança paradigmática do quadro atual da educação. Com isso, para completude desse artigo, será apropriado o manual das escolas cívico-militares, entrevista com os militares desse projeto e artigos de jornais com críticas ou não para demonstrar o quanto esse modelo tem mudado os comportamentos e mentalidades em várias regiões do país.

The effect of learning opportunity factors and efficacy belief on mathematical knowledge in the teaching process
Authors: Jitu Halomoan Lumbantoruan
Published: June 2023

The present study investigates the influence of opportunities to learn (OTL) and mathematics teaching efficacy beliefs (MTEB) towards mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). Using a structured questionnaire together with paper and pencil test adapted from the literature reviewed, data were collected from 187 pre-service elementary teachers in Institute of Teacher Education Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0. The result of the structural equation model indicated that both OTL-Practicum (β = 0.395, p < 0.001) and OTL-Program (β = 0.324, p < 0.001) were positively related to MKT. The second regression analysis was to examine the impact of mathematics teaching efficacy belief on the MKT. The results showed that mathematics teaching outcome expectancy belief (MTOEB) (β = 0.322, p < 0.001) was positively related to MKT, whereas personal mathematics teaching efficacy belief (β = 0.017, p > 0.1) was not related to MKT. Overall, the belief and OTL factors explain a total of 54% variance in MKT. Implications from these findings to the successful teacher's education program implementation in Indonesia were further elaborated

Published: June 2023

Apathya cappadocica is a medium-sized lizard species included in the family Lacertidae. The species is known from Türkiye, Northern Syria, Iraq, and Western Iran. Sexual dimorphism (SD), which is a phenomenon including phenotypic differences between males and females, has many effects on behaviour, shape and size characteristics. A total of 87 adult lizard specimens collected from south-eastern Anatolia were used in this study. The results of ANOVA showed that all morphometric features exhibited a pattern in which males have larger size than females. According to principal component analysis (PCA), the first three factors explain 81.553% of the total variance. Differences in head size between sexes have been well-documented in lizards and are associated with male-male aggression which results in mating success. This kind of pattern is supported by this study. Additionally, the results showed that males have more femoral pores, which is a signalling mechanism for sexual selection, than females. In conclusion, it can be accepted that the species in the genus Apathya has a similar pattern in accordance with the larger male theory.

Published: June 2023

In this study was aimed to determine the genotoxic effect of Ramalina farinacea lichen species against stress sources at the molecular level. After applying three different heavy metals (Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cr6+) to the R. farinacea, the extent to which the lichen sample absorbed these metals was determined by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. RAPD and MSAP-AFLP assays were also used to determine the status of DNA damage. The heavy metal analysis showed that R. farinacea had high levels of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cr6+ content. According to the results obtained from molecular analyses, band changes were observed against seven primers heavy metal stresses and three primers against UV stress. An increase in Genomic Template Stability (GTS) was determined during the time in R. farinacea treated with all heavy metal concentrations. The effect of UV radiations in R. farinacea revealed the highest polymorphism and the lowest GTS rate depending on the dose. Among all methylation combinations, Type II was found to show altered in R. farinacea in response to Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cr6+ contents and UV radiations. R. farinacea can be used at the molecular level as a biomarker of suitable genotoxic effect. This is the first study to reveal DNA damage against stress sources using a sample of R. farinacea lichen species.
Por uma Linguística Aplicada Menor
Authors: Gomes da Silva Barros Arthur Victor , Vicente Valentim Milena Beatriz
Published: June 2023

As contribuições de Deleuze e Guattari para a Linguística Aplicada destacam-se pela sua abordagem crítica da linguagem, sua ênfase na multiplicidade e na heterogeneidade linguística oferecem uma análise das relações de poder e valorização da experimentação e da prática como formas de conhecimento. Suas ideias desafiam conceitos tradicionais e abrem espaço para uma compreensão mais ampla e inclusiva da linguagem e suas práticas. No mais, as ideias de Deleuze-Guattari sobre a sociedade e seu controle fluido, nos mostram os desafios de se produzir algo que resista. Até o presente momento este estudo apontou que as contribuições do modelo rizoma de Deleuze e Guattari para o campo da Linguística Aplicada podem ser frutíferos fazendo o uso dos conceitos supracitados. Pela sua própria natureza transdisciplinar, a Linguística Aplicada, uma aliança pode ser estabelecida se faz como um plano onde multiplicidades podem escorrer na medida que a pesquisa, e sua aplicação-inserção em uma demanda social, se desenvolve.

Published: June 2023

This research inspired by  the emergence of language variations in the Tolaki community as speakers of Tolaki language. Tolaki people themselves distinguish between three types of Tolaki language, namely tulura anakia (language of the aristocratic class), tulura lolo (language of the middle class), and tulura ata (language of the slave class). The emergence of these language variations can cause ambiguity in meaning. This research was conducted because the researcher saw that there are several forms of words which if pronounced the same but have different meanings if they are arranged as a sentence, but basically the same word still has a relationship. This study aims to determine the form of polysemy in the Tolaki language. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data collection techniques used in this research are the listening and speaking techniques, note-taking techniques, recording techniques and introspection techniques. The results of this study indicate that in the Tolaki regional language there are two forms of polysemy, namely polysemy in the form of root words and polysemy in the form of complex words or derivatives.

Published: June 2023

bhanti-bhanti Tradition, Collective Memory, Wakatobi-Maluku

Wakatobi people have a collective memory of Maluku as the brother country of their ancestors. But on the other hand, they also have a collective memory about the country of Sanggila (the nickname for Ternate and Tobelo) which always comes to arrest the people of Wakatobi Buton to be used as slaves who are traded in the country of Maluku. Therefore, their collective memory is in the tension between traumatize and romanticism. Research on collective memory will be carried out through an ethnographic perspective, so that it is hoped that it will be able to capture the various perspectives of the Wakatobi people about Maluku. Ethnographic data will be traced through bhanti-bhanti texts that have grown and developed within the Wakatobi community as their collective memory. Furthermore, field data will be obtained from the Wakatobi community, which so far has been integrated with the Maluku people. The results of this study indicate that the Wakatobi people have some collective memories about traumatic matters in the history of their relationship with Maluku, but on the other hand they also have a long romantic history with their relatives from Maluku.

Soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons is a major problem resulting from activities related to petroleum industry, automobile service stations and accidental release of oil in the soil. Bioremediation/biodegradation can be considered as an effective aid to clean up oil spills, aside from conventional methods that are uneconomical and produce residues that harm the surrounding biota. There are an estimated over 250 mechanic shops with more than 5000 technicians in Maiduguri. Mechanics working therein frequently spill oil which is a potent source of immunotoxicants and carcinogenic to humans and animals. The aim of this study was to screen for petrophilic bacterial isolates from engine oil contaminated soil, that can utilize crude oil as sole source of carbon for growth in Maiduguri Metropolis. Ten isolates from engine oil contaminated soils in Bola and Tashan Kano areas of Borno State were obtained. The bacteria were individually cultured in Bushnell Haas Mineral Salt Medium devoid of carbon source except for crude oil for 21 days at 370C. Bacterial growth from visible increased turbidity was enumerated by CFU/g on nutrient agar.  Pseudomonas sp. isolate exhibited relatively higher ability to grow on crude oil with TNTC followed by Bacillus sp., 6.7×104, Arthrobacter sp.,6.5×104, Flavobacterium sp.,6.2×104, Pseudomonas sp., 6×104, Nocardia sp.,5.9×104, Acinetobacter sp., 5×104, Bacillus sp., 5×104. Proteus sp., 4.7×104 and    Flavobacterium sp. 4×104.  It is therefore concluded that all the bacterial genera present in this study are effective hydrocarbon oil degraders.

La qualificazione giuridica dello Stato di Israele dal punto di vista della libertà religiosa
Authors: Dazzetti Stefania
Published: June 2023

The legal qualification of the State of Israel from the point of view of religious freedom

ABSTRACT. The essay aims to analyze the crucial issue of the State of Israel's relationship with religion, the origin of a 'hybrid' model that is difficult to classify according to classical schemes of ecclesiasticist doctrine. While on the one hand, the millet system still in place in the country guarantees the pluralism of religious communities, which enjoy full normative and jurisdictional autonomy in matters pertaining to family law; on the other hand, the incorporation of Jewish law (halachah) - which exclusively regulates the institutions of Jewish marriage and divorce - among the sources of Israel's legal system makes it a confessional country. Currently, in the absence of a 'secular' discipline, only religious marriage remains recognized in the Jewish State. In recent decades, this has led to the mobilization of increasingly sectors of civil society in support of alternative forms of marriage such as civil unions.

Objective: To assess the beliefs, attitudes, and obstacles of PharmD students at the College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad, during their first year in the newly adopted PharmD program. Method: In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted using flexible probing approaches. A sample of fourth-year PharmD students from the University of Baghdad's College of Pharmacy was selected using a purposive sampling method. The gathered data was analyzed using a thematic content analysis approach. Results: 40% of participants applied for the program because they believed it would improve their chances of finding work in the future. The majority of participants complained about the difficulties of the first course, citing the numerous themes as their greatest issue. Two individuals (13%) said the benefits were minor, while 40% said the subjects' difficulty allowed them to adapt and study faster and more efficiently. Six of the fifteen participants thought the information they were given was inadequate. Furthermore, more than half of the participants said the practical aspect was insufficient. Moreover, half of those polled advised decreasing organic chemistry because they thought it was superfluous. Sixty percent are hopeful about the future of PharmD in Iraq and believe that if it is well organized, it will be successful. Conclusion: Despite some challenges during the first year of the program, most participants are hopeful about the future of PharmD in Iraq and believe that it will be successful if it is well organized.

Published: June 2023

Experiment was conducted to develop a drought tolerant Jatropha curcas through cleft (or) wedge grafting with Jatropha glandulifera and Jatropha gossypifolia (drought tolerant species) and to find out the grafting compatibility, survival and growth attributes of grafted plant at weekly intervals up to seven weeks. On seven weeks after grafting, the results revealed that survival percentage (80.3 per cent) and number of sprouts per plant (3.2) was higher in plants grafted with Jatropha gossypifolia than the plants grafted with Jatropha glandulifera. From this experiment, it could be concluded that considering the survival percentage and number of sprouts per grafted plant, cleft or wedge grafting of Jatropha gossypifolia with Jatropha curcas was found to have good compatibility for grafting, which in turn results in good tolerance against drought especially during summer months.

Published: June 2023

Purpose. Health care for people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and visual impairment/blindness is complicated as it includes both medical care and low vision care offered by various providers without established coordination. This qualitative analysis aims at exploring experiences of people with AMD in daily life and with their health care including their information and help needs. Material and Methods. This analysis is part of the qualitative arm of a wider mixed methods research project. As a sampling strategy, we pursued the goal of maximum variation. We conducted narrative, semi-structured interviews with people diagnosed with AMD all over Germany. The interviews were thematically analysed. Results. Twenty-nine interview partners were included in this analysis. Experiencing AMD in everyday life meant (i) the perception of visual changes, (ii) dealing with blindness per- ceived as stigma, and (iii) social consequences. Their health care experiences were shaped by their individual information needs, questioning their communication with their ophthal- mologists, increased time required for medical examinations and a great logistical effort in order to access both medical as well as low vision care. Support services in the framework of low vison care were well appreciated by our interviewees. Conclusion. People with AMD have individual information and help needs that must to be addressed and acknowledged in health care.

Amblyopie-Prävalenz in Europa
Authors: Krawczyk Ivonne
Published: June 2023

Purpose. The aim of the present study is to estimate the prev- alence of amblyopia in Europe. Amblyopia is one of the most common causes of visual impairment, especially in children. It is defined as any unilateral or bilateral decrease in the visual acuity in the absence of structural and pathologic disorders of the eye. Amblyopia is due to insufficient development of the visual system in early childhood. If amblyopia is not detected and treated in time, the visual acuity reduction will persist for life. Material and Methods. An extensive literature review was conducted using the PubMed database using search combi- nations of “amblyopia”, “amblyopia prevalence”, “amblyopia screening” and “amblyopia therapy”. European studies on amblyopia prevalence and meta-analyses were included. The results on amblyopia prevalence are summarized. The German vision screening program is presented in detail and compared with other European programs. Results. Studies on amblyopia prevalence showed high het- erogeneity. Meta-analyses revealed pool prevalences of 2.7 to 3.7 percent. Anisometropia was the most common cause of amblyopia. For Germany, the prevalence in adults was estimated at 5.6 percent, which is a high rate compared with other European countries. Data from a German child cohort showed a prevalence of 1.5 percent. This estimate is consistent with prevalence rates in other European countries. Conclusion. Amblyopia prevalence in Germany appears to be lower in children than in adults. However, studies on amblyo- pia prevalence are difficult to compare with each other. This is partly due to the use of different amblyopia definitions. In addition, there are still no uniform European standards for amblyopia screening. Keywords amblyopia, prevalence, children, anisometropia, strabismus, screening
Kontaktlinsenhygiene ein Literatur-Review
Authors: Hartwig Andreas
Published: June 2023

Purpose. Contact lens hygiene is a crucial factor for a success- ful contact lens fitting and, above all, for long-term healthy contact lens wear. A review of the literature is intended to summarize the most important points especially in relation to recent publications. Material and Methods. A narrative literature review was performed to identify relevant publications. PubMed (www. pubmed.gov) was used as the platform for the search. The search term used was “contact lens hygiene”. Results. Successful contact lens hygiene depends on the effectiveness of the care solution, the instruction of the pa- tient by the contact lens practitioner and the correct imple- mentation of the recommended care steps. Basically, either multipurpose solutions (combination solutions) or peroxide systems are available for care. The advantage of peroxide systems is the higher disinfection performance compared to multipurpose solutions. For rigid gas permeable contact lenses, manual surface cleaning in combination with a surface cleaner is essential. The likelihood of occurrence of microbial keratitis is lower in wearers of rigid gas permeable contact lenses than in wearers of soft contact lenses. Conclusion. In addition, to hand hygiene, the selection of the care product and regular instruction of the user by the eye care practitioner play a vital role. From a hygienic perspective, daily disposable contact lenses are the safest option. Keywords Contact lens hygiene, contact lens compliance, contact lens storage case, microbial keratitis, RGP contact lenses, soft contact lenses

The information quality variable (X3) has no effect on the buying interest variable (Y) for Tokopedia consumers in Tebing Tinggi. This means that the quality of information is not the main factor that determines consumer buying interest. Information quality is not a variable that influences the level of consumer buying interest. Television media advertising variables (X1), reputation (X2) and quality of information (X3) simultaneously influence purchase intention (Y) among Tokopedia consumers in Tebing Tinggi. meaning that if advertisements on television media, reputation, quality of information get better then consumer buying interest will be higher and this applies if the three independent variables are good/high.

Published: June 2023

This study examines the impact of industrial agglomeration on air quality, economy, and social aspects in the Medan City area. The findings reveal that industrial agglomeration in the Medan Deli District significantly influences air quality parameters, such as Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC), Ozone (O3), and Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5). As industrial agglomeration increases, air quality deteriorates compared to non-agglomeration areas. Furthermore, industrial agglomeration has notable effects on the economy and social well-being of the community, leading to job opportunities and a favorable business climate. To mitigate the negative impact on air quality, it is crucial for industrial stakeholders, the community, and the government to actively monitor and regulate emission sources, such as combustion engines, while conducting routine ambient air quality monitoring around the Medan Industrial Area. These measures will contribute to improving both the environmental and socio-economic conditions in the region.

The reduction of ship roll motion is important in order to prevent damage to cargo, to allow the crew to work efficiently and to provide comfort for the passengers. There are passive devices like bilge keels or anti – roll tanks and active devices like gyrostabilizer and stabilizing fins which are commonly used to generate an opposed moment to the wave and wind excitation roll moments in response to the command of a control system. The paper presents numerical results of using a Proportional - Integral – Derivative (PID) controller for damping the roll motion of a fishing boat equipped with a fin stabilizer system and sailing in regular waves. The nonlinear roll equation, which includes B1 type damping and quantic restoring, besides the wave excitation moment and moment generated by fins, was linearized for relative small roll angles. The role of PID controller was to generate the corrective roll moment through the controlled fins in order to stabilize the roll motion. The thresholds for the controller’s gains were determined using the Laplace transform and Routh – Hurwitz criterion. A simple but precise iterative scheme was used for the rapid integration of the system equations of motion in three cases: only proportional (P) component, proportional and derivative (PD) components and full PID controller. The numerical simulations have showed that all the analysed variants achieved roll reduction satisfactorily.

This article explores the essence of the rise of Motion comics by analyzing the historical background and technological conditions. In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile internet, the animation industry has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities, with "Motion comics" characterized by short, flat, and fast gradually developing and growing. However, for a long time, people have had a vague understanding of Motion comics, only seeing them as a product of the fusion of old-fashioned animation and comics. However, this article proposes a different viewpoint. In the article, dynamic comics are a unique form of animation rooted in the decline of traditional animation and comics, and are rooted in the emergence of information technology. The article innovatively proposes that Motion comics are developed based on strip-type comics, the technology of Motion Graphics, and short videos.

Authors: Marino Marvin , Eka Andayani Diyah , Giselvania Angela
Published: June 2023

Background: The availability of enteral nutrition is one of nutritional intervention that can be given to prevent a decrease in nutritional intake and nutritional status in HNC patient.

Research objective: This study aims to see the correlation between the availability of enteral nutrition with nutritional fulfillment and nutritional status.

Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted on adult subjects with HNC after radiation therapy at the RSCM radiotherapy outpatient clinic. Nutritional fulfillment was assessed by semi-quantitative FFQ while nutritional status was measured by calculating body mass index (BMI).

Research results: Forty-one subjects mean age of 51 years participated in the study. The mean BMI of subjects with enteral nutrition was lower than those on oral nutrition, 18,2±2,6 kg/m2 compared to 21,2±3,5 kg/m2 respectively. The mean total energy intake of subjects with enteral nutrition route was higher, which was 1498,1±430,6 Kcal/day compared to 1291,4±393,3 Kcal/day. There was a moderate negative correlation between the availability of enteral nutrition and nutritional status (r=-0,346, p=0,027), meanwhile there was a weak positive correlation with nutritional fulfillment (r=0,216, p=0,174). However, in this study we found that the proportion of subjects with enteral nutrition who experienced a decrease in BMI was less than the proportion of subjects on the oral route, which was 22,2% compared to 43,8% respectively.

Conclusion: There is a moderate negative correlation between the availability of enteral nutrition with nutritional status and a weak positive correlation with nutritional fulfillment which is still influenced by confounding factors.
