Prevalence and characteristics of occupational contact dermatitis among farmers in Wongaye Gede Village, Tabanan, Bali
Authors: Sunyamurthi Wirawan I Gde Nengah Adhilaksman , Wangsa Putu Gde Hari
Published: December 2024

Background: Occupational contact dermatitis is a disease in the field of dermatology that arises in the work environment due to workers coming into direct contact with causative substances, be they irritants or allergens. Farmers are susceptible to various allergens or irritants when working in farming, clearing land, fertilizing, spraying, caring for, and during harvest. Epidemiological data showing contact dermatitis in Balinese farmers was still very minimal. So, based on the above background, we are interested in examining the characteristics of work-related contact dermatitis in farmers in Bali.
Methods: This research method is descriptive research using a cross-sectional method that evaluates work-related contact dermatitis among farmers in Wongayo Gede Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency.
Results: 56 farmers showed that 34 samples suffered from occupational contact dermatitis, of which 59% were men and 41% were women.  Based on the division of age groups according to WHO, it was found that youth (18-65 years) were 82%, middle-aged (66-79 years) 12%, and older adults (80-99) 6%. The highest educational background is elementary school 47%, high school 33%, and junior high school 15%.
Conclusion: This research reveals that men's occupational contact dermatitis is more common. The most commonly found sample ages were young people in 18-65 years. Meanwhile, the most recent educational status of the sample was elementary school. The most common locations for skin lesions are on the upper and lower extremities.
Offline Promotion Effectiveness in the Digital Era (Case Study of Mican Petshop Sales Promotion and Public Relations) in Attracting Catlovers' Buying Interest)
Authors: Sitti Amar Azizyah Puthe Taliu  , Suciati  , Sovia Sitta Sari
Published: December 2024

Abstract: This study describes Mican Petshop's offline promotional strategy to attract cat lovers' interest in buying during 2023. With increasingly fierce competition in the pet industry, Mican Petshop must have an effective promotional strategy. Given the increasing number of competitors in this industry, Mican Petshop feels the need to implement an offline promotional strategy amidst the onslaught of powerful social media to build consumer trust so that they continue to buy products sold in their stores. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative, with the object of research being Mican Petshop's offline promotion in the digital era. The AISAS model is intended to determine consumer behaviour when recommending store products to potential consumers offline. Data was collected in-depth by the store owner and the marketing department. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. The study results show that the promotional mix that plays an important role in increasing cat lovers' interest in buying at Mican Petshop is sales promotion and public relations. The emphasis on both is due to budget efficiency and customer relationships. Based on the elements of AISAS and a combination of sales promotion and public relations, Mican Petshop can optimize its promotional activities to increase consumer purchasing interest with measurable effectiveness while overcoming challenges that may arise throughout its promotional journey. By focusing on creativity, relevance, and empathetic interaction with consumers, Mican Petshop can continue to increase the effectiveness of its promotions. This is proven by the sales target that has been met. Mican Petshop still survives without promotion through social media because of business partners' experience of content plagiarism and the nature of advertising, which amplifies expressiveness.

Authors: Joel Barasa Ijakaa (MEd)  , Petronilla Mutinda Kingi (PhD)
Published: December 2024

Abstract: The study adopted a systematic review to analyze AI solutions in enhancing leadership in the implementation of CBC in junior secondary schools in Kenya. The study focuses on challenges relating to inadequate training of teachers, inappropriate resource allocation, and stakeholder engagement. We adopted Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Distributed Leadership Theory. The findings reveal that AI may enhance educational leadership by the implementation of real-time monitoring, preparation of teaching resources, and managing the institution more effectively. Moreover, the impeding factors for AI penetration in educational institutions are physical infrastructure, lack of digital literacy, and local conditions. In this regard, the study recommends partnerships between educational institutions and companies manufacturing technology equipment and digital training programs. Further research will focus on the development of specific AI applications to fit the Kenyan educational setup for serving all stakeholders: students, teachers, and school administrators.

Improvement of biological and physicochemical quality of agricultural soil after three years of ultra-high dilutions treatment
Authors: Mirzajani Fateme , Mirzajani Faeze
Published: December 2024

Soil health is crucial for healthy crops, but pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, and soil disinfectants can harm beneficial organisms and increase harmful ones. Agricultural practices can also damage soil, disrupting nutrient release and absorption. An economical, side-effect-free solution for soil revitalization is needed [1]. Ultra-high diluted supplements are now used for plant treatment, offering a cost-effective and easy method often added to water. This study examines the effects of ultra-high diluted supplements on soil detoxification and restoration over three years. It measured soil respiration, water absorption, residual toxins, active nitrogen, heavy metals, rheological characteristics, and bacterial diversity [2]. This study investigates the impact of ultra-high diluted supplements on detoxifying and restoring soil's biological and physicochemical characteristics after three years of treatment. For this soil respiration, water absorption, elemental and toxins contents, rheological and bacterial diversity stadied. Treatmet starts by two 6-month detox treatments with 200C sulfur and 30C petroleum. The soil was then irrigated toxin-free for 6 months and recovered for two 4-month periods with Carbo Vegetabilis 30C. After a 4-month rest, a 2-month rotation with silica 200C and calcarea carbonica 30C was applied, followed by another 4-month rest. The final treatment involved three courses of Sulfur 200C, Berberis 6C, and Carbo Vegetabilis 30C over 6 months. The soil was irrigated and rested for the last 4 months, then sampled for new characteristics. Results showed increased essential elements and decreased toxic elements after three years. Soil microbial population decreased by 2 units, gas exchange improved by 6 units, and soil pH became more acidic by one unit. Beneficial bacteria for plant growth, metabolism, fertility, and health were present.
Investigating photon emissions from homeopathic potencies
Authors: Cartwright Steven john
Published: December 2024

Studies using solvatochromic dyes appear to show that potencies have a polarising and structuring effect in solution. Taking these results further it can be predicted that on dissolution of solution structures, both heat and light should be emitted. It has been shown that a weak electric current passed through solutions of Antimonium crudum destroys the potency, as judged by its effect on the solvatochromic dye ET33. To see if potencies emit light on application of an electric current concomitant with this destruction of activity, a specially adapted ultra-sensitive luminometer has been employed which allows currents of pre-determined voltage to be passed through both control solutions and potency solutions in situ. Preliminary results indicate that photons are emitted from potency solutions beyond those of control solutions. What is particularly interesting is that photon emission does not occur immediately on application of an electric current but a significant delay occurs before emissions are seen. In addition, emissions appear to show evidence of oscillations over time before finally dying out. Results will be discussed in relation to previous studies on the physical chemistry of potencies and what these results might be telling us about the fundamental nature of potencies.

The possible role of coherence in highly diluted and succussed aqueous solutions
Authors: Renati Paolo
Published: December 2024

The historical problem of potentized (homeopathic, spagiric and other) remedies deals with their chemical-physical plausibility, i.e.: a consistent physical (molecular or electromagnetic) description have not yet been worked out and shared in scientific contexts [1]. I think that this difficulty pertains to the "generally accepted view of condensed matter" (to quote our mourned Giuliano Preparata [2]) and water condensed phases. Until we stay attached to a local, corpuscular and short-ranged description of matter (and of water, mainly) we won't be able to conceive the emergence of complex collective dynamics and their phenomenological outcomes. These are engendered by non-trivial ground states of the aqueous system in consequence both of its intrinsic nature and of the treatments to which it is subjected during dynamization. In this lecture I'll try, through a Quantum Electro-Dynamic (QED) theoretical framework [3,4,5],  to sketch out the main features which let us envision liquid water as a two-phase system, where coherence is the basis both for its condensedness and for its ability to maintain long-lasting and far-from-equilibrium states able to non-randomly evolve in time through dissipative dynamics, and to understand the physical nature and properties of potentized remedies. Further comments about a likewise important question will be shared: how and why living matter is able to respond to such a kind of (possibly therapeutic) stimulations? [6,7]
Impact of different solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) proxies and Ap index on hmF2 trend analysis
Authors: Duran Trinidad , Zossi Bruno Santiago , Melendi Yamila Daniela , de Haro Barbas Blas Federico , Buezas Fernando Salvador , Elias Ana Georgina
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Long-term trend estimation in the peak height of the F2 layer, hmF2, needs the previous filtering of much stronger natural variations such as those linked to the diurnal, seasonal, and solar activity cycles. If not filtered, they need to be included in the model used to estimate the trend. The same happens with the maximum ionospheric electron density that occurs in this layer, NmF2, which is usually analyzed through the F2 layer critical frequency, foF2. While diurnal and seasonal variations can be easily managed, filtering the effects of solar activity presents more challenges, as does the influence of geomagnetic activity. However, recent decades have shown that geomagnetic activity may not significantly impact trend assessments. On the other hand, the choice of solar activity proxies for filtering has been shown to influence trend values in foF2, potentially altering even the trend's sign. This study examines the impact of different solar activity proxies on hmF2 trend estimations using data updated to 2022, including the ascending phase of solar cycle 25, and explores the effect of including the Ap index as a filtering factor. The results obtained based on two mid-latitude stations are also comparatively analyzed to those obtained for foF2. The main findings indicate that the squared correlation coefficient, r2, between hmF2 and solar proxies, regardless of the model used or the inclusion of the Ap index, is consistently lower than in the corresponding foF2 cases. This lower r2 value in hmF2 suggests a greater amount of unexplained variance, indicating that there is significant room for improvement in these models. However, in terms of trend values, foF2 shows greater variability depending on the proxy used, whereas the inclusion or exclusion of the Ap index does not significantly affect these trends. This suggests that foF2 trends are more sensitive to the choice of solar activity proxy. In contrast, hmF2 trends, while generally negative, exhibit greater stability than foF2 trends.

Abstract. The performance and consistency of satellite observations in characterizing the saline dust emission from the newly formed Aralkum Desert have remained poorly understood. We address this knowledge gap by providing a review of satellite techniques capable of detecting the presence, column burden, and vertical height of airborne dust over desert surfaces. Then we evaluate the consistency between different aerosol products in observing an intense Aralkum dust storm in 2018, via synergistic analyses of the ultraviolet aerosol index (UVAI) from OMPS, TROPOMI and EPIC, aerosol optical depth (AOD) from MODIS and VIIRS, and aerosol optical centroid height (AOCH) from CALIOP and EPIC. The UVAI products consistently delineate the areal extent of the freshly emitted dust plume if the dynamic range of each product is considered. The heavy dust plume is however erroneously masked as clouds in the AOD products. All UVAI products show large positive values over the Garabogazköl gulf and northern Caspian Sea due to enhanced UV absorption by turbid and saline waters, suggesting that caution must be taken to avoid misinterpreting the surface effect as dust signal over ephemeral or dried lakes. The AOD products show generally good agreement in observing the total and coarse-mode AOD associated with the dust outflow to Caspian Sea. Over-land AOD retrievals show strong non-linear relationships between aerosol algorithms. The NOAA Enterprise Processing System (EPS) product yields significantly lower AOD than other algorithms, likely due to the misuse of an urban aerosol optical model for dust retrieval. The EPIC AOCH retrieval shows the best agreement with CALIOP over heavy dust burden areas, with both mean bias and RMSE below 0.5 km. This study reveals significant inconsistency between satellite aerosol products and the potential of multi-sensor approaches for identifying the product biases and limitations in Central Asia.

Published: December 2024

Introducción. El siguiente trabajo analiza la influencia de la agenda mediática en la cultura de la violación a partir de la comparación y análisis del tratamiento mediático del periódico nacional El País de los sonados casos de violencia sexual de La Manada y de las trabajadoras marroquíes temporeras de la fresa en Huelva. Objetivo. En concreto, se apunta a la conexión entre el distinto discurso que el periódico formuló sobre los casos señalados y el también distinto apoyo y movilización de la sociedad española al respecto, con el fin de entender cómo afectan estos discursos a nuestro concepto de violación y a la visibilización de los casos. Marco teórico y Metodología. Desde la revisión de la cultura de la violación y lo que supone en el imaginario establecido, se realiza un estudio de contenido identificando diferentes variables de análisis a partir de las teorías de la agenda setting y el framing. Este análisis se aplica al estudio de la cobertura de ambos casos en un marco temporal determinado en el diario El País. Resultados. Se establece que la triple discriminación a la que se ven sometidas las trabajadoras marroquíes migrantes temporales (nacionalidad, sexo y clase) afecta al tratamiento mediático, tanto en lo que respecta a la atención recibida (número de noticias y lugar de aparición) como a su forma narrativa (atribución de responsabilidad, enmarcado, apoyo a través de artículos de opinión).
Las dificultades en torno a la investigación en Ciencias Sociales para las mujeres investigadoras de la BUAP, antes y durante la pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Cruz Carvajal Cristina
Published: December 2024

Introducción. Si bien la investigación en Ciencias Sociales supone ciertas dificultades que conlleva el mismo proceso de investigación, como la recopilación de entrevistas o el trabajo de campo, también hay dificultades dentro de la misma academia. Existen ciertas barreras para la plena participación de la mujer tanto en la misma investigación, pero también en puestos de dirección y como lideresas, lo cual a veces se supera debido a la importante trayectoria de la investigadora, sobre lo cual, hay notables casos. Objetivos. Por ello, en el artículo se presentarán las múltiples dificultades a las que se enfrentan las investigadoras, pero también se proponen formas para que la mujer logre una mayor visibilidad e incorporación dentro de la investigación, tal como el acompañamiento a jóvenes investigadoras, para así lograr una mayor cantidad, pero también calidad, en torno a la investigación hecha por mujeres. Metodología. Para la realización de este artículo, como base metodológica se tomaron como referencia entrevistas anónimas mediante formulario de Google a 9 mujeres de la actual Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la BUAP miembros del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI), de las cuales, 6 respondieron afirmativamente al llamado. En la entrevista se les preguntó sobre qué dificultades han tenido en torno a investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa, así como su integración en ámbitos académicos, sobre las perspectivas que tienen ellas mismas respecto a sus investigaciones y de sus pares masculinos, así como las críticas que perciben hacia ellas, hacia su trabajo y su persona en torno a la investigación. Resultados y Conclusiones. Derivado del proceso de recopilación, las investigadoras comentaron diversas propuestas a partir de sus experiencias personales y profesionales. Coinciden en que es importante aumentar la participación femenina en general en todos los ámbitos académicos, intelectuales y universitarios. También, plantean que, desde la educación académica temprana, la ciencia se debe hacer y ser atractiva hacia las niñas, promoviendo en que esta sea más inclusiva mediante la eliminación de imágenes o lenguaje sexista en materiales educativos, así como en los medios de comunicación en general. Si desde la infancia se percibe la participación femenina en la ciencia, ésta tenderá a promover entonces mayor incursión de las mujeres en ámbitos universitarios y de investigación, creando con ello entornos más igualitarios.

Authors: Koskov Mikhail , Somov Sergey , Krylasova Olga , Ivanov Aleksey
Published: December 2024

The aim of the work is to develop the uniaxial ferrofluid sensor suitable for use either as an accelerometer for low-frequency vibrations or as a ballistic device or seismic sensor for shock loads. The goal is achieved by solving the following problems: development of a magnetic suspension system with a linear axial gradient of the magnetic field strength, calculation of the viscous friction force of the magnetic fluid filling the coaxial layer between the magnetic cylinder and the non-magnetic body wall, manufacturing of the sensor and its static and dynamic tests. The most significant result of the work is the experimental confirmation of the linearity of the electromechanical system of the sensor, corresponding to the model representations of a linear dissipative oscillating system with one degree of freedom. The significance of the obtained results lies in the appearance of cheap and simple linear inertial sensors. The principle of operation of the sensor is based on the registration of the motion of an inert mass deviating from the equilibrium position under the action of an external force to be measured. The inert mass, consisting of ring permanent magnets, levitates in a coaxial layer of magneto-fluid lubricant. The sensor, depending on its parameters, can measure either quasi-static force, or force impulse, or coordinate displacement, which is in demand in monitoring systems for critical structures and buildings, as well as in navigation systems for vehicles operating under conditions of small, slowly changing accelerations (microgravity).

Authors: Chernousenko Olga , Marisyuk Bogdan
Published: December 2024

The article aims to contribute to the ongoing study of damage to steam turbine rotors resulting from asynchronous connection of electric generators to the unified power system. At the present time, the assessment of the residual life of steam turbine equipment is based on the study of the degradation of the mechanical properties of steels and the analysis of the thermal stress state. The aim of this work was to determine the impact of such vibrations on the mechanical properties of rotors and their damage. This goal was achieved by solving the following tasks: developing a 3D model of the K-1000-60/3000 LMZ turbine unit shaft based on design documentation; calculating the stress-strain state of the shaft resulting from asynchronous connections using finite element analysis; and evaluating the level of metal damage in the rotors due to torsional vibrations. The developed mathematical model used a classical approach, replacing the working blades and bandage fastenings with concentrated masses and moments of inertia. The most important results are the calculated rotor damages that occur due to asynchronous connection of the turbogenerator to the unified power system with a synchronization angle of 30°. The greatest damage to the rotor metal was found in the shaft section between the steam turbine and the electric generator. The significance of the results obtained is that the use of this data will improve meth-ods for assessing the remaining life of turbogenerators. This, in turn, will improve the reliability and safety of power plant operations.

Authors: Shevchenko V. , Minko A. , Stoychev Vladimir
Published: December 2024

The aim of the work is to obtain practical results for the electrical machines multiparametric design application, to conduct a comparative analysis of the parametric and multiparametric design re-sults of a turbogenerator and its elements when the load changes; to confirm the prospects the multipar-ametric design application. Currently, it is possible to use mathematical models when designing, and use parametric synthesis to optimize one specific parameter, which in certain cases turns out to be suf-ficient. The peculiarity of electric machines calculation and design is the necessity of simultaneous checking of all interrelated parameters (mechanical, electromagnetic, thermal) with any changes. The structure design with simultaneous control of several variables cannot be performed using one stage of parametric design; additional calculations are necessary. In this case, multi-parameter design is neces-sary, but it requires longer preparation for design work and higher qualifications of personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to understand in which cases it is advisable to switch from parametric to multiparametric design. The work goal set is achieved by comparing the results of a turbogenerator, stator core and busbar designing using parametric and multiparametric design. The most important is to obtain the re-sults of comparison of a complex electromechanical system parametric and multiparametric design (tur-bogenerator, its individual unit and element), including when the parameters of various physical pro-cesses change, performing a comparison of the obtained results, confirming the feasibility of carrying out multiparametric design. The significance of the obtained results is that practical examples of the multiparameter modeling use are shown. Using multiparametric design, not only a busbar refined form with increased repair and operational reliability was obtained, but the proposed solution economic ad-vantages were also indicate.
Studies of reliability of power supply of the enterprise from the electric power system and autonomous loaded generators based on Markov processes
Authors: Basmanov Vladislav , Suntsov Kyril , Kholmanskikh Valeryi
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this work is to substantiate the use of probabilistic components of the availa-bility factor of the power supply system (PSS) of the enterprise consisting of a electric power system and autonomous loaded generators, to calculate overpayments for electricity. To achieve this purpose, operation of the PSS during the last 5 years was studied. The PSS was considered as a restored system which has spinning reserve. The process of the PSS functioning was represented by a simple non-branching graph with one repair team and described by systems of differential and algebraic equations. The solution of the latter allowed calculating the probability components of the PSS availability factor. The operating time of the PSS in a calendar year was calculated with a different number of serviceable generators. The method for calculating overpayment for electricity was proposed. The most significant result is the justification of the use of probability components of the PSS availability factor for assessing overpayment for electricity. The significance of the obtained results lies in the fact that the proposed formula for overpayment for electricity allows to estimate overpayment, identify main causes and recommend measures to reduce it. The reliability of the results is confirmed by the example of calculating overpayment for electricity for a real enterprise. The newly obtained indicators of generator reliability can be used in the analysis of overpayment by other enterprises, which have similar generators.

Criminal liability for illegal cutting of forest vegetation: new practical connotations
Authors: Cazacu Oxana
Published: December 2024

Currently, in the Republic of Moldova, there is
a rallying of national, European and global concerns, as a result of the awareness of the need to
take more serious measures to limit and stop the
criminal phenomenon in the field of ecological
crime which is in full expansion.
Since the sanctioning systems were not sufficient
to guarantee full compliance with environmental
protection legislation, stricter provisions were needed to prevent the extent of the criminal phenomenon in the field of illegal tree cutting.
As a result, by the Law of 06.06.2024, changes
were made to the provision of the crime of illegal
cutting of forest vegetation, by criminalizing not
only the actions of cutting, but also the actions of
breaking and uprooting trees and shrubs without
authorization, such as and by including the vegetation from green spaces, from wet areas, from
the bottom of the waters and other lands with a
special purpose of protection, as being the material object of this crime.

Published: December 2024

The way intelligence (AI) models are able to keep learning and adjusting without losing past knowledge. A concept known as lifelong learning. Is changing how humans and AI work together today in a significant way. Unlike AI systems that need to be trained again with new data and risk losing important information along the way lifelong learning AI models hold onto what they've learned while integrating new knowledge. This special capability makes lifelong learning models very flexible in paced settings where making quick decisions is crucial, to success. As artificial intelligence becomes more intertwined with human job functions in different fields of work continual learning plays an important role in boosting the performance of these systems so they can collaborate better with humans. This piece examines the progress of learning models in AI and how they are changing teamwork dynamics in areas such as healthcare, self-driving vehicles, and robotics. We look into the advancements in AIs ability to retain information over time the obstacles faced when constructing these adaptable frameworks and the significant impact they have on reshaping interactions, between humans and AI systems.

Authors: Kafkas Fırat , Dağli Hüseyin
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, due to limited resources and manufacturers desire to keep manufacturing costs at the lowest level, minimum quantity lubrication systems stand out. Ultrasonic atomisation based cutting fluid (uACF) spraying system, which is one of the minimum quantity lubrication methods, has been compared with conventional cooling systems on different performance parameters. The study concluded that the uACF system can outperform or compete with other cooling conditions in all performance outputs with the right choice of cutting parameter combination.In addition, the study also revealed the effects of cutting speed and feed rate levels on performance outputs under different cooling conditions. In the light of the data obtained from the study, it is concluded that the uACF system, which has a much lower installation cost compared to complex MQL methods, provides good performance under real cutting conditions with a low amount of cutting fluid consumption (0.5 ml/min) and has a high utilisation potential.
Monopoly Power: Impacts of Location on the Cost of Credit for Small Firms in Brazil

Published: December 2024

The objective of this study is to observe the impact of bank monopoly power on credit costs for micro and small firms in different regions of Brazil. The finance literature offers a wide range of results regarding the effects of bank monopoly. However, few studies explore how these impacts vary according to the location of firms. The central hypothesis is that monopoly power allows banks to discriminate prices across regions of Brazil. To test this hypothesis, a panel data structure was used at the municipal level, covering the period from 1995 to 2022. The results indicate that monopoly power amplifies credit constraints for micro and small firms in the North, Northeast, and Central-West regions, while exerting an opposite effect in the South and Southeast regions. Thus, this study suggests that geographic location modifies the effects of bank monopoly power on credit conditions for smaller firms.

Introdução: No Brasil, a maioria dos casos de malária concentra-se na região amazônica e está presente em todo território nacional, prejudicando milhares de pessoas a cada ano. A malária hoje só é realmente endêmica na bacia Amazônica. É uma doença infecciosa febril aguda, causada por protozoários do gênero Plasmodium transmitidos pela picada da fêmea infectada do mosquito do gênero Anopheles.Essa patologia tem cura e o tratamento é eficaz, simples e gratuito. Todavia, a doença pode evoluir para suas formas gra-ves e se não for diagnosticada e tratada de forma oportuna e adequada. Os criadores preferidos são locais de Águas límpidas, com certa profundidade, sombreadas, com vegetação flutuante e com pouco teor de sais e matéria orgânica são criadouros preferenciais para o Anopheles darlingi.Objetivo: Analisar o perfil epidemiológico da malária no estado do Pará nos anos de 2020–2021. Material e Métodos: Estudo descri-tivo com abordagem quantitativa com dados secundários obtidos através do Sistema de Informação de Agravos e Notificações – SINAN NET. As variáveis da pesquisa englobam casos confirmados notificados, apresentados por faixa etária, extraídas do período de 2020 a 2021 no Estado do Pará. Foram empregados os parâmetros de seleção: ano, faixa etária e casos confirmados no ano de 2022. A análise foi conduzida por meio de estatística descritiva no processamento dos dados e a tabela foi obtida a partir da cópia CSV. Resultados: Diante dos fatos supracitados, a malária é uma doença que afeta principalmente as pessoas na faixa etária de 20 a 39 anos no Pará, pois elas representam 75% dos casos confirmados em 2021. Houve um aumento no número de casos confirmados de malária no Pará de 2020 para 2021, passando de 1 para 3 casos. Isso pode indicar uma maior exposição ao mosquito transmissor da doença ou uma menor eficácia das medidas de prevenção e controle. O Pará é um dos estados brasileiros com maior incidência de malária, sendo responsável por cerca de 40% dos casos registrados no país em 2020. A região amazônica concentra a maior parte dos casos de malária no Brasil, devido às condições ambientais favoráveis à proliferação do mosquito. Conclusão: Neste estudo, identificaram-se os casos de malária concentrados na região norte. Além disso, notou-se o aumento de casos durante o ano analisado. É crucial que a população conheça os riscos e saiba como evitar a proliferação dos agentes causadores.
The Significance of Limitations and Properties of Lorentz Transformation in Teaching
Authors: Borian Chacko Ajith
Published: December 2024

Widely misused calculator is a Lorentz transformation. It is a calculator that calculates or transforms co-ordinates of the point between two relatively moving inertial reference frames with uniform rectilinear velocity in relation to each other. This calculator shows its works at the end of the event. Means when light reach from event point to the origin of the each moving reference frame. So, in a time t, when light from the event point reach to the origin of each reference frame, a moving reference frame moves a distance vt during that same interval which is shown as "t" in "vt". This is the basic understanding of the situation used in the Lorentz transformation. This confirms the restrictions shown in the article. The Lorentz transformation is applicable only with these restrictions.
Longitudinal Examination of Foreign Language Enjoyment and Academic Self-efficacy: Latent Growth Modeling
Authors: Xuan Yutong
Published: December 2024

This study examines the developmental trajectories of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and academic self-efficacy (ASE), and their interaction across four times points among 78 foreign language learners. The results indicate that: FLE and ASE significantly increased over time. Higher initial level of FLE was associated with a slower rate of increase, both showing significant individual variations. The later development of ASE was not affected by its changing rate, but both manifested significant individual variations. FLE and ASE positively predicated each other in the initial two stages, but this effect did not persist into the later stage. The findings contribute to promote a dynamic turn in emotion and efficacy research and offer insights for foreign language teaching.

Authors: Li Qingmei
Published: December 2024

The competence of physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools is a comprehensive evaluation standard to measure whether physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools can complete their work efficiently and produce excellent performance. Under the background of the "double reduction" policy, physical education in primary and secondary schools puts forward new requirements on teachers' competency from the aspects of education service consciousness, work initiative, teacher continuing education, psychological state adjustment, etc. In order to cope with the changes brought about by the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, this study proposes a six-dimensional optimization path for physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools, including: Strengthening the professional knowledge training of physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools; Pay attention to the training of PE teachers' professional skills; Promoting the improvement of the teaching ability of PE teachers in primary and secondary schools; Strengthen the basic professional quality training of PE teachers in primary and secondary schools; Strengthen the construction of social adaptability of PE teachers in primary and secondary schools; Improving the sustainable innovation ability of PE teachers in primary and secondary schools. In order to provide reference for the personal development and better work of primary and secondary school physical education teachers.
