Tungsten Oxide-based Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
Authors: Sridhar Sundergopal
Published: November 2023

Non-stoichiometric compounds of tungsten oxides that are abundant on the earth received extensive attention in electrochromic devices, electrochemistry, photothermal conversion, gas sensors, and photocatalysis because of their unique physicochemical structures and highly tunable structures. Because of its high colouring efficiency, quick optical reaction time, and reversible colour changes, tungsten oxide (WO3 ), along with various oxidation states of oxygen-deficient tungsten oxide (WO3-x), has been identified as one of the mainly effective possibilities for electrochromic materials among transition metal oxides. For example, one-dimensional nanostructures of WO3-x such as nanotubes, nanowires, and nanorods, have gotten huge attention due to their unique electrical, optoelectrical, and optical properties. Additionally, distinct oxygen-deficient tungsten oxides (WO3-x) - WO2.72, WO2.83, and WO2.9, for example - have significant light absorption characteristics up to the near-infrared (NIR) region and a stable crystal phase, which sets them apart from surface-reduced WO3 . Out of these, reduced tungsten oxide (WO2.72) is one of the most studied owing to promising properties such as unusual defect structures and abundant oxygen vacancies. These oxygen vacancies create new discrete energy bands below the conduction band thus narrowing its bandgap The other series of tungsten-based materials is tungsten bronze (MxWO3 , where M= Na, Cs, K, Rb, etc) which has mixed-valence states. These are the materials that are explored less but have excellent properties as compared to WO3 . So, in this review, the applications, synthesis methods, and properties of MxWO3 and WO2.72 are studied in detail.
Dengue Infection, its Diagnosis, Treatment, and Vaccination: A Narrative Review
Authors: F Inayat
Published: November 2023

Dengue infection is a significant public health issue globally, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, and is caused by a virus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. It can range from mild fever to severe forms, such as hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome, with high mortality rates. Management involves supportive care to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications, while early detection and prompt management of symptoms can significantly reduce the risk of severe forms of the disease. A dengue vaccine has been developed, with several vaccine candidates undergoing clinical trials to evaluate their efficacy and safety. The vaccine has shown promising results in preventing dengue infection and reducing the severity of the disease. Preventing dengue infection requires a multifaceted approach, including reducing mosquito breeding sites, controlling mosquito populations, and educating the public on prevention measures. Vector control measures, such as the use of insecticides and larvicides, have been effective in reducing mosquito populations, but their sustainability remains a challenge. The development of an effective and safe dengue vaccine is urgently needed, with ongoing research efforts aiming to develop a vaccine that is safe and effective for all age groups and provides broad protection against all serotypes. Limitations of the study include the potential lack of consideration of regional variations in dengue epidemiology and control measures, and the absence of a detailed analysis of the economic and social impacts of dengue infection on affected populations. In conclusion, continued investment in research and development of effective prevention and treatment strategies is crucial to combat this disease and reduce its impact on affected populations.

Published: November 2023

IntroductionAdministrative health records (AHRs) are used to conduct population-based post-market drug safety and comparative effectiveness studies to inform healthcare decision making. However, the cost of data extraction, and the challenges associated with privacy and securing approvals can make it challenging for researchers to conduct methodological research in a timely manner using real data. Generating synthetic AHRs that reasonably represent the real-world data are beneficial for developing analytic methods and training analysts to rapidly implement study protocols. We generated synthetic AHRs using two methods and compared these synthetic AHRs to real-world AHRs. We described the challenges associated with using synthetic AHRs for real-world study.
MethodsThe real-world AHRs comprised prescription drug records for individuals with healthcare insurance coverage in the Population Research Data Repository (PRDR) from Manitoba, Canada for the 10-year period from 2008 to 2017. Synthetic data were generated using the Observational Medical Dataset Simulator II (OSIM2) and a modification (ModOSIM). Synthetic and real-world data were described using frequencies and percentages. Agreement of prescription drug use measures in PRDR, OSIM2 and ModOSIM was estimated with the concordance coefficient.
ResultsThe PRDR cohort included 169,586,633 drug records and 1,395 drug types for 1,604,734 individuals. Synthetic data for 1,000,000 individuals were generated using OSIM2 and ModOSIM. Sex and age group distributions were similar in the real-world and synthetic AHRs. However, there were significant differences in the number of drug records and number of unique drugs per person for OSIM2 and ModOSIM when compared with PRDR. For the average number of days of drug use, concordance with the PRDR was 16% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12%-19%) for OSIM2 and 88% (95% CI: 87%-90%) for ModOSIM.
ConclusionsModOSIM data were more similar to PRDR than OSIM2 data on many measures. Synthetic AHRs consistent with those found in real-world settings can be generated using ModOSIM. Synthetic data will benefit rapid implementation of methodological studies and data analyst training.

Este trabalho se insere no âmbito do Projeto Formação de Formadores e formação piloto de professores Matemática, GeoGebra & STEAM, em Cabo Verde. Com base no software GeoGebra e na plataforma GeoGebra classrrom”, pretendeu-se demonstrar e explorar o teorema de Pitágoras. A realização deste estudo foi motivada por várias razões, pois muitas vezes deparamos com alunos que têm dificuldades em compreender alguns conteúdos e pensamos que isso deve-se à falta de metodologias que incentivem os alunos e os levem a ter uma outra visão sobre a matemática. Assim, com este trabalho, pretendemos contribuir para a abertura de novos caminhos para o sucesso no ensino da matemática, através do uso de uma ferramenta moderna e uma plataforma de colaboração online, que possibilitam trabalhar a matemática de uma forma interativa, dinâmica e completa. Tendo em conta os objetivos deste estudo optou-se por uma investigação essencialmente qualitativa e recorreu a investigação quantitativa que recaiu sobre análise de documentos, interação durante as aulas, produção dos alunos, registo fotográfico, questões do questionário.

O trabalho inclui várias etapas, onde foram aplicados dois questionários (inicial e final), planificamos aulas teóricas sobre o teorema de pitágoras e foram elaboradas 4 tarefas para ser feitas no software GeoGebra e no final tivemos uma aula virtual no GeoGebra classroom. De acordo com as atividades e tarefas realizadas, concluimos que os alunos mostraram muita criatividade, entusiasmo e maior capacidade de criarem seus próprios conhecimentos. Houve maior participação dos alunos, pois colocavam questões e estavam sempre curiosos em querer saber mais e produzir os seus próprios trabalhos.
Articulando utopias: algumas possibilidades do encontro entre feminismo negro e o marxismo da reprodução social
Authors: Machado Bárbara Araújo
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo pensar uma abordagem crítica da articulação entre racismo, (hetero)sexismo e capitalismo através do diálogo entre algumas autoras ligadas ao feminismo negro e à teoria marxista da reprodução social. Para tanto, analisei as origens das propostas de articulação no feminismo negro norte-americano, passando por algumas pensadoras negras brasileiras e pela proposta do conceito de interseccionalidade, de Kimberlé Crenshaw. Em seguida, apresento algumas contribuições da teoria da reprodução social para um possível diálogo com o feminismo negro. Por fim, procuro sublinhar a potência de uma perspectiva antissistêmica de compreensão das relações entre racismo, (hetero)sexismo e capitalismo tanto para o pensamento crítico sobre as desigualdades sociais quanto na luta dos grupos subalternos contra essas desigualdades.
De volta ao casulo? O descompasso da renovação da antiga ilusão da “democracia racial” perante a crise
Authors: Dos Santos Diogo Joaquim
Published: November 2023

No presente artigo realizamos uma reflexão em torno da forma como os argumentos “multiculturalistas” de interpretação do racismo brasileiro não superam, pelo contrário, confirmam alguns pressupostos centrais do conhecido “mito da democracia racial”. Se a ascensão burguesa na transição abolicionista alicerçava-se em torno dessa estratégia de dominação classista, a renovação de seus argumentos perante a crise atual emerge enquanto produto irracionalista desse contexto. Em meio ao esgotamento evidente das reformas do neoliberalismo no âmbito das alianças e pactos anteriormente abertos e ao crescente estado de respostas da classe trabalhadora aos ataques que sofre, remói-se o deslocamento da luta de classes para a esfera particular da cultura, de modo que esse descompasso ideológico remonta à própria natureza da crise e sua filosofia política decadente.

A hegemonia na mesa de negociação permanente do Sistema Único de Saúde: uma análise a partir dos pressupostos de Gramsci
Authors: Coelho Maria Carlota de Rezende , Trugilho Silvia Moreira
Published: November 2023

As contribuições da teoria política de Gramsci se aplicam ao debate do movimento contemporâneo dos trabalhadores da saúde, no bojo da Mesa de Negociação Permanente do Sistema Único de Saúde, institucionalizada como espaço de exercício da democracia nas relações de trabalho na área da saúde.  As fontes utilizadas são Regimento de regulamentação da Mesa Nacional, os Cadernos do Cárcere, de Antônio Gramsci, e obras de autores contemporâneos que fazem releitura dos escritos deste pensador. O texto dialoga com o conceito de hegemonia em si, a compreensão dos agentes de hegemonia na Mesa, os sindicatos e partidos enquanto estruturas sociais e a correlação de forças entre governo e trabalhadores na mesa de negociação. Conclui-se que a Mesa, enquanto espaço das relações de trabalho entre governo e classe trabalhadora, é uma das formas de explorar aspectos relevantes das relações de poder que, se compreendidas dialeticamente, abrem espaço para avanços numa perspectiva democrática, como nos ensina Gramsci.

The implementation of Friday prayers is an order from Allah SWT to all Muslims who are already mukallaf. The law of performing Friday prayers is obligatory for every Muslim man. This obligation is stated in QS Al-Jumuah Verse 9. If you look at the facts on the ground, especially at the Air Tawar Barat Nurul Islam Mosque, most of the worshipers are still negligent in carrying out Friday prayers and if the Friday prayer time comes at 12:15 WIB, then most of the worshipers come. to the mosque at 12:10 WIB and some of them even came during the second sermon to perform Friday prayers. This study describes how Muslims (congregants of the Nurul Islam Air Tawar Barat Mosque) understand the terms and timing of Friday prayers through descriptive qualitative methods with the type of case study research in which the data were collected from 30 informants, both youths, pilgrims, adults/students, and parents. The results of the study were that most of the worshipers did not understand the conditions for Friday prayers and understood the timing of the Friday prayers, but there were some congregations, especially teenagers and adults/students whose awareness was still lacking in hastening to carry out Friday prayers.
