The cause of interfaith marriages in Indonesia is the existence of the Marriage Law (UUP) No. 1 of 1974 which does not accommodate the issue of interfaith marriages, because the mixed marriage referred to in Article 57 of the UUP is a marriage between two people who in Indonesia are subject to different laws, because of differences in nationality, not because of differences in religion. Meanwhile, the existence of Article 2 paragraph (1) UUP which contains marriage is legal if it is carried out according to the laws of each religion and belief, considered to close the opportunity for interfaith marriages to occur in Indonesia.

Wife's Livelihood for Husband with Disability Islamic Legal Perspective
Authors: Hamdan Arief Hanif
Published: February 2024

This research is motivated by the reality of the life of a husband who has a disability so that there is a limitation in the husband's role, one of which is in earning a material living so that the wife must work in order to meet the family's economic needs. The problem formulation that will be developed is about the law regarding working wives and its relevance to family support obligations. Analyze the legal basis for husbands with disabilities in relation to their obligation to provide support for their families. The aim is to know the law regarding providing family support by a wife and providing support by a husband with a disability. This research use desciptive qualitative approach. The data collection methods used by researchers are: first, documentation, which in this case is theories in fiqh, the Koran and Hadith. and the second is to conduct interview sessions with disabled families who meet the author's criteria. The data analysis technique used is content analysis, namely research that seeks the relevance of scientific theory to the content of interview information. Based on the results of this research, interviews with disabled families and literature review of several theories of fiqh, al-Qur'an and Hadith. That a wife is allowed to provide maintenance to a husband. regardless of the husband's disability, this law is general so it can be carried out by other families. From the results of the analysis, the nature of the income provided by the wife remains a side or additional income. It is not the main income, so the husband is still obliged to provide the main income. there is no reason to cancel it. Because in Islamic law, providing maintenance to a wife does not have a minimum limit, so it does not burden a husband even if he is disabled.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Accurate measurement of the size distribution of sub-10 nm aerosol particles is still a challenge. Here we introduce a novel version of the Airmodus particle size magnifier (PSM 2.0), which is a condensation-particle-counter-based instrument with a sizing range of 1–12 nm. The extended size range compared to the earlier PSM version enables the direct detection of forming clusters and particles as well as the study of their growth processes without the challenges related to particle charging. It also gives an overlap between the activation size distribution measurements with the PSM and mobility size distribution measurements with conventional mobility particle sizers. We compared the performance of PSM 2.0 to that of a mobility particle size spectrometer, the original A10 particle size magnifier, and a Neutral cluster and Air Ion Spectrometer (NAIS) during field measurements. Also, calibration results were compared against the A10 instrument. The results show that PSM 2.0 is able to activate sub-2 nm clusters and that the concentration and size distribution between 2–12 nm compare well, especially with the NAIS.
Replicating the Hadley cell edge and subtropical jet latitude disconnect in idealized atmospheric models
Authors: Menzel Molly E. , Waugh Darryn W. , Wu Zheng , Reichler Thomas
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Recent work has shown that variability in the subtropical jet's (STJ) latitude, ϕSTJ, is not coupled to that of the Hadley cell (HC) edge, ϕHC, but the robustness of this disconnect has not been examined in detail. Here, we use meteorological reanalysis products, comprehensive climate models, and an idealized atmospheric model to determine the necessary processes for a disconnect between ϕHC and ϕSTJ in the Northern Hemisphere's December–January–February season. We find that a decoupling can occur in a dry general circulation model, indicating that large-scale dynamical processes are sufficient to reproduce the metrics' relationship. It is therefore not reliant on explicit variability in the zonal structure, convection, or radiation. Rather, the disconnect requires a sufficiently realistic climatological basic state. Further, we confirm that the robust disconnect between ϕSTJ and ϕHC across the model hierarchy reveals their differing sensitivities to midlatitude eddy momentum fluxes; ϕHC is consistently coupled to the latitude of maximum eddy momentum flux, but ϕSTJ is not.
Dini Metin ve Geleneklerde Mitra Kültü ve Mitraizm Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: POLAT Mahmut
Published: February 2024

The cult of Mitra, which is related to the cult of the Sun, was active in Anatolia, India and Iran. The name and cult of Mitra has been widely used in Indian and Iranian religious texts and rituals. It still continues in the Zoroastrian tradition. The religious tradition of Mithraism, which bears the same name, emerged in the Roman period in the 1st century BC in the form of the religion of mystery, and continued its existence in Anatolia and Roman lands until the 5th century. Mithraism, which was adopted by Roman soldiers and merchants, spread to Europe and North Africa under the rule of Rome, and took various forms by mixing with local cults. Mithraism, which was banned and subjected to oppression when Christianity became the official religion of Rome, declined and its temples were destroyed. Mithraism survived among the Gnostics and disappeared into history. Keywords: Mithra, Mithraism, Rigveda, Avesta, Greek-Roman Mythology
Gestural Tendencies in Composing Pieces for Solo Clarinet in Sequenza IX for Clarinet, Garisan, and Klibat

Published: February 2024

Abstract: Gesture in a broader sense is more than a physical movement but, can also be modes of expression representing specific meanings. Movements with meaning embodies gesture and gesture exists in various artforms like music because of its capacity to express. Its capability to transform through time and space makes it akin to energy and it is parallel with the art of composing music. Musical gesture however, are being studied at different levels so as to classify and to relate different functions of gestures. This article intends to demonstrate the use of musical gestures into composing music for a solo wind instrument. Three solo pieces for clarinet were written by three different composers approaching musical composition through gestural writing. To realize the imagined sound and movements of the clarinet, the composers’ composing process concentrated more on the gestural movements and tone colours of the selected wind instrument. The musical gesture in these three solo pieces is actually capturing the movement and sense of movement through music, and its essence lies in the subconscious lines connected to create direction and motion in both pieces. This compositional approach also gives the composers more compositional freedom and enriches their compositional process.

Keywords: music composition, musical gesture, solo pieces for clarinet, contemporary music.

Authors: Campollo- Urkiza Arantza , Cremades Andreu Roberto
Published: February 2024

Las actuales normativas educativas internacionales señalan la importancia de trabajar las materias artísticas y científicas de forma interconectada para contribuir al desarrollo de la competencia matemática y competencias básicas en ciencias y tecnología, para lo que se ha potenciado un modelo de aprendizaje basado en la resolución de problemas en consonancia con el enfoque STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics). Partiendo de este modelo, es posible promover estas áreas por medio de la puesta en práctica de propuestas didáctico-musicales en el aula de primaria. El propósito de este estudio es presentar, a través de un estudio cuasi-experimental, cómo la educación musical puede favorecer la adquisición de la competencia matemática y básicas en ciencias y tecnología en una muestra de 129 participantes que cursaban sexto de educación primaria en tres centros de titularidad pública y concertada de Madrid, divididos en grupo control (63 estudiantes) y grupo experimental (66 estudiantes). El grupo experimental participó en un programa de intervención didáctica con actividades musicales diseñado ad hoc, y fue implementado a lo largo un curso escolar en los centros participantes, a la vez que el grupo control seguía la programación de aula. Los resultados obtenidos por el grupo experimental en la fase postest muestran una mejora en la planificación de los procesos matemáticos, la identificación y uso de los números, la comprensión de contenidos geométricos en diversos contextos, así como la experimentación de la actividad científica, lo que sugiere que la educación musical puede favorecer el desarrollo de los ámbitos de esta competencia.
Quincas Laranjeiras e o violão solista no Rio de Janeiro:
Authors: Amorim Humberto , Martelli Paulo
Published: February 2024

Como já abordamos em estudos anteriores (XXXX), Joaquim Francisco dos Santos (1873-1935), o Quincas Laranjeiras, exerceu significativo papel de mediador cultural por meio de suas atividades composicionais e artísticas, colaborando para que o violão transitasse entre espaços e camadas socioculturais diversas nas primeiras décadas do século XX. Ancorado na literatura disponível e em partituras e fontes recolhidas em jornais e revistas da época, o presente artigo visa demonstrar como a sua atuação pedagógica entre os “violonistas clássicos” que atuavam no Rio de Janeiro se converteu em mais um dos aspectos dessa “identidade transitiva” (LLANOS, 2018), tornando-se um dos fatores que permitiram que o instrumento vencesse barreiras práticas e simbólicas e aumentasse a sua circularidade no bojo da sociedade carioca.
Zhao Xiaosheng’s Tai Chi:
Authors: Xue Ke , Loo Fung Ying , Loo Fung Chiat , Wang Xiaohang
Published: February 2024

The implementation of China Reform and Opening-up policy in 1978 gave birth to the Chinese new wave music, with an idiosyncratic manner of rebelliousness, individuality and innovation that brought a break-through in Chinese new music of the past. In this paper, we focused on a representative piano solo work Tai Chi (1987) by composer Zhao Xiaosheng who explored the ancient Chinese philosophy I Ching and the Tang Dynasty musical form Tang Daqu using Allen Forte’s pitch class set theory. We analyzed how Zhao employed the Western sonata and Chinese Tang Daqu to reflect the yin-yang dualism, based on the composer’s statement in the interview, researchers’ analyses, and authors’ suggestion. By decoding the pitch-class permutations that correspond to the 64 hexagrams of I Ching, the mathematical logic becomes the main way to combine the I Ching with serial music. Nevertheless, the compatibility between musical expression and commentaries of hexagrams is not reflected in the piano solo Tai Chi. Therefore, we discussed the entanglement of a compositional identity formation based on contradicting elements from that of the traditional Chinese musical culture and Western art music, with questions about the accretion and authenticity in the contemporaneity and musicalization of the ancient I Ching.

Automated Abstractive Text Summarization Using Multidimensional Long Short-Term Memory
Authors: Khan Anwar
Published: February 2024

Text summarization is a technique for condensing and presenting the most crucial information from a larger text in a succinct manner. It is a challenging task for human beings to manually summarize extensive documents due to the time required and cognitive effort involved. The increasing amount of textual data generated in recent years has led to a greater demand for efficient and automated text summarization methods. This study explores the utilization of deep learning and neural network concepts to create an automatic abstractive text summarization system for product reviews using multi-dimensional long short-term memory. Since, reading product reviews can be a time-consuming task, especially given the abundance and diversity of reviews written by numerous individuals. The proposed model was evaluated by comparing the generated summaries to reference summaries using metrics such as Rouge. Further, the performance of the model is compared with the prevalent state-of-the-art techniques. The proposed Multi-Dimensional LSTM model was evaluated using the Amazon food review dataset and compared with four other text summarization methods. The proposed model outperformed the prevalent models in terms of ROUGE-1 and ROUGE-L scores but was slightly outperformed in terms of the ROUGE-2 score.

This study examined how Nigeria’s sovereign wealth funds has related to the economy: 2012-2021. The sovereign wealth fund is designed to build a savings base for the Nigerian people, enhancing the development of Nigeria’s infrastructure, and providing stabilization support in times of economic stress, somehow stabilizing the local currency value. It seems that the sovereign wealth funds of Nigeria is not yet growing sustainably. Thus, this work seeks to ascertain how the sovereign wealth fund has related to economic growth of Nigeria. The study made use of secondary data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority. Using descriptive and scooping methods, the study showed that the total assets value of the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) authority, the total assets value of the SWF group consolidated, the net profit of the SWF authority and the net profit of the SWF group consolidated have not reasonably influenced the economic growth of Nigeria. The work recommends amongst others that the government should be consistent in transferring excess crude oil revenue to the Fund; strategic partnership with investors with superior business intelligence is required; and the SWF Authority must promote accountability and transparency in the management of the funds.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is mainly general form of dementia that is linked to the increase of extracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques. Oxidative stress and neurotoxicity events that are linked to the aetiology of AD have been postulated to be influenced by genetic, environmental, and dietary variables. Using the use of in vitro models, we attempted to determine whether or not Ulva lactuca had antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. SH-SY5Y The research employed pre-existing Neuroblastoma cell lines. Caspase 3 expression was also determined to know the level of protection of neuronal cells. Our results showed that the total extract of UL effectively reduced cell death and caspase 3 levels were also decreased in the cells treated with TEUL. The extract also has effective antioxidant properties proved. Further, it was also proved that the extract also has acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitory activity which is essential in treating AD.

Published: February 2024

Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI) is one of the leading causes of paediatric mortality. Majority of RTIs are viral in origin. Bacterial pathogens associated with upper and lower respiratory tract infections are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza and Moraxella catarrhalis. Antibiotics are considered as the key drugs of choice for the treatment of many infections and they are most commonly prescribed drugs in paediatric department of RTI. Antibiotic regimen should be selected based on presumed causative pathogen. In view of the higher burden of RTI among paediatrics in this area, a study is taken up to analyse the prescribing pattern of antibiotics in RTI. The prospective study was conducted for a period of 6 months. Case records of 156 patients were selected based on the study criteria. A suitably designed data collection form was used to collect the required data. Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel.In this study, there was a slight female predominance (50.64%) and the most prevalent age group was 0 - 3 years (44.88%). LRTI (55.77%) was extensively distributed among the study population in which WALRTI constituted the highest (25.65%). Penicillin (33.15%) class of antibiotics were the most preferred followed by cephalosporin (30.97%). Amoxicillin-clavulanate (26.02%) and Ceftriaxone (21%) were the highly prescribed antibiotics among penicillin and cephalosporins respectively. Majority of patients received antibiotics intravenously. Monotherapy was encouraged in 66.64% of patients. It is essential to improve the utilisation of drugs and therefore analysis of prescription pattern should be carried out frequently to enhance the quality of prescriptions. The study results aim at focusing the importance of strategies that have to be implemented to rationalise the use of medications in paediatrics. Drug utilization studies are vital to promote optimal use of antimicrobials to ensure the best clinical outcome and to address the concern of antimicrobial resistance.

Objective: To study the Hepatoprotective potential and Antioxidant activity of 4 – hydroxybenzyl alcohol in carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage in rats. Materials and methods: Rats were divided into five groups of six animals. Group I was treated with normal saline (Normal control) Group II was treated with the CCl4 hepatotoxic (negative control) Group III was treated with standard drug silymarin (positive control) and Group IV and V was treated with test drug 4–hydroxybenzyl alcohol (Test groups) respectively. On the 7th day, rats were sacrificed and blood was withdrawn by cardiac puncture. The levels and activities of serum biochemical parameters and antioxidant enzymes were then assayed using standard procedures. Results: The hepatoprotective activity of 4–hydroxybenzyl alcohol in this study was compared with the reference drug silymarin. In CCl4 treated animals, 4–hydroxybenzyl alcohol significantly decreased levels of serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin, and increased the level of total protein. Treatment with 4 – hydroxybenzyl alcohol resulted in a significant increase in the levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione as compared to CCl4 treated group. Histopathology of the liver tissue further supports the biochemical findings confirming the hepatoprotective potential of 4 – hydroxybenzyl alcohol. Conclusions: From the results it can be concluded that 4–hydroxybenzyl alcohol possesses Hepatoprotective effect and antioxidant activity against CCl4 induced liver damage in rats.

The study explores the hepatoprotective effect of Kadukkai maathirai (KM) in high fat diet (HFD) induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in rats. Total 54 Sprague Dawley rats were used in the study, 9 groups: Group I – IV kept as normal and test drug control and group V - NAFLD disease model- received HFD for 40 weeks. Group VI – IX received HFD for 40 weeks and then test drugs: Group VI – VIII received KM in three different doses for 45 days. Metformin (standard) was administered to Group IX for 45 days. On day 46, the blood and liver tissue were collected for analysis. KM at 36, 144mg/kg and metformin showed a significant decrease in ALP level, all three doses of KM and metformin showed a significant reduction in direct bilirubin levels. A significant improvement in HDL was observed in all doses of KM and metformin-treated groups. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) findings in KM treated test groups showed significantly reduced plasma glucose levels. The KM treated groups and metformin-treated groups showed a reduction in body weight at 47th week, and significantly reduced relative liver weight when compared with the HFD group. Histopathological evaluation of KM treated groups showed normal architecture of central vein and hepatic cords. Portal triads were also generally normal in their location and pattern. No indication of fatty liver. This study confirms the ability of phytoconstituents present in KM in reversing the metabolic dysfunction and liver pathology seen in NAFLD. Further studies are required to evaluate KM as a therapeutic agent.

Published: February 2024

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you having trouble in falling and/or staying asleep. The condition can be short-term (acute) or can last a long time (chronic). Acute insomnia lasts from 1 night to a few weeks. Chronic Insomnia - it happens at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more. Insomnia may be a contributory factor in the development of a wide range of mental health problems. Primary causes of insomnia include stress due to a job loss or change in bad habits. A secondary cause of insomnia includes mental health issues like depression and anxiety, Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. Psychotic experiences commonly occur in mild forms and have been linked to disrupted sleep. Chronic insomnia higher rates in patients with comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, 44%; cardiac disease, 44.1%; breathing problems, 41.5%) it is glopally. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment; CBT for insomnia (CBTI) targets those behaviours, cognitions, and associations and is effective across a variety of populations, including those with medical and psychological comorbidities. CBT-I is a collaborative process and the skills learned in sessions require practice. The Society of Behavioural Sleep Medicine (www.behavioralsleep.org) and the American Board of Sleep Medicine also approved this type of treatment for Insomnia.

Published: February 2024

The primary goal of developing novel formulations is to effectively deliver the drug the at the target site. A desirable, non-invasive method of enhancing medication penetration or delivering innovative drug or gene carriers into the brain is nose-to-brain administration. The main benefit of intranasal medication administration is that it avoids the blood-brain barrier and targets drug molecules directly to the brain. Due to their difficulty in crossing the blood-brain barrier, big molecular weight and hydrophilic compounds can also be transported to the brain by this drug delivery channel. By speeding the administration of treatments at the target site and preventing systemic adverse effects, intranasal delivery to the brain is helpful in treating many neurological disorders. Potential drug delivery systems, the drug-encapsulated polymeric nanoparticles can convey a sizable amount of medication from the nose to brain. The advantages of polymeric nanoparticles-mediated nose to brain targeting are discussed in this paper. Additionally, it provides an overview of the polymeric nanoparticles studied for the therapy of various brain disorders as well as the process of nanoparticle transport.
Unveiling the Potential of Electroluminescence Characteristics in Investigating Different Types of Defects and Degradations in c-Si PV Module
Authors: Puranik Vishal E. , Kumar Ravi , Gupta Rajesh
Published: February 2024

Photovoltaic (PV) cells can be characterized using current-voltage (I-V) as well as electroluminescence (EL) characteristics. However, unlike I-V, the potential of EL characteristics has not been well discussed in the literature. In this work, the impact of different types of defects on the EL characteristics is studied, and the possible use of EL characteristics in the qualitative and quantitative investigation of defects is unveiled. Defective field-aged and new modules with artificially induced defects were taken for experimental study. EL current-intensity (I-ɸ) and EL voltage-intensity (V-ɸ) characteristics were studied for the cells suffering from major defects such as cracks, busbar interconnect failure, and PID-shunting. It is observed that I-ɸ characteristic is useful in the investigation of shunting defects, whereas V-ɸ characteristic is in diagnosing defect that increases series resistance. Bulk defects within a cell affect EL calibration constants and increase cell-to-cell mismatch within a module. The findings of this work would be useful for extracting valuable information from EL images regarding defects and degradations.
Tracking Hydrogen During Poly-Si/SiOx Contact Fabrication: An Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Si–H Bonds Configurations

Published: February 2024

The hydrogenation step contributing to the high efficiencies (>25%) reached with poly-Si/SiOx passivated contacts solar cells is still poorly understood. In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is used to follow the different bonding configurations of H during the fabrication process. The carrier lifetime degradation upon annealing is correlated to an important loss of Si–H bonds, from both the a­‑Si:H film and the SiOx interfaces. The subsequent hydrogenation step results in the formation of a small number of Si–H bonds near the crystalline silicon c-Si/SiOx interface, associated with the low stretching mode (LSM) and correlated to a significant lifetime improvement. These bonds feature a preferential orientation, as shown by polarized measurements.
Scalar Velocimetry using Cross-Scanning LIF
Authors: Thoroddsen Sigurdur
Published: February 2024

Volumetric measurements of three-dimensional velocity fields are most often accomplished by seeding the liquid with small solid particles and then follow them around using multiple cameras. The resolution of this measurement is limited by the size and number of these particles. A second approach is to stir fluorescent dye into the liquid and infer the velocity field from the changes in the volumetric fluorescent field with time, by inverting the advection-diffusion equation. To track changes in the volumetric dye-field, one images its concentration plane-by-plane by illuminating it with a rapidly scanning laser-sheet, each video-frame measuring the intensity in one plane I(x,y). In practice, one can only image 10-100 adjacent planes, to capture the time-variations of the field. The drawback in this approach is the reduced resolution in the scanning z-direction. While you have 1000x1000 pixels in each (x,y)-plane, there are only of the order of 50 planes in the depth. Our approach overcomes this by using two perpendicular scanning directions and two high-speed cameras to record the fluorescent intensity field in (x,y) and (x,z) directions respectively. This will allow much denser velocity measurements in a larger volume. However, the data acquisition and analysis are more complicated than for the single scan direction. Below we describe how this is being implemented, along with preliminary results for a turbulent jet.
Prospective hepatotoxic effect of UV-328 and its affirmable rescue by Dimethoxy curcumin in Zebrafish
Authors: S. Senthilmurugan  , R. Prinitha  , S. Miltonprabu
Published: February 2024

The unprecedented usage of BUV-328 (Benzotriazole Ultraviolet Stabilizer) in many biological and environmental matrices is of acute environmental importance because of its toxicity even at low concentrations. To better understand the protective function of DiMC on the liver tissues of zebrafish exposed to sublethal concentration of BUV-328 was assessed in the present investigation. Adult zebrafish were exposed to BUV-328 at sublethal concentrations of 55µg/l. The responses were assessed in the liver tissues at 28 days and another group was supplemented with DiMC to investigate its ameliorative potential against BUV-328 induced hepatotoxicity. Biochemical markers of oxidative stress, histopathological changes, and antioxidant enzymes were measured in the exposed groups. The outcomes of our present study revealed that BUV-328 exposure upregulated the oxidative stress markers and diminished the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, altered the biochemical constituents in liver. Histopathological abrasions such as hypertrophy, cellular and nuclear enlargement, cytoplasmic and nuclear degeneration, necrosis with pyknotic nuclei, lipid and cytoplasmic vacuolization and nuclear displacement to the periphery were found to be increased in BUV-328 exposure group. The oxidative, biochemical and histological alterations induced by BUV-328 were almost recuperated in DiMC supplemented group which signifies its protective influence against BUV-328 incited hepatotoxicity.
Metamorphosis from Behind the Bars: Selahattin Demirtaş’s Leylan
Authors: Parla Jale
Published: February 2024

This article examines the Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtaş’s prison novel Leylan (2019) in relation to the Turkish tradition of Künstlerroman, which dates back to the late nineteenth century. Through a reading of the figure of the writer manqué, it argues that Demirtaş occupies an unprecedented place in having staged the writer manqué as a subaltern autodidact rather than as a troubled intellectual, in uniting the political and the transcendental, and in affirming the potential hidden in incomplete texts and lives.

Introduction: Professional Identity Formation (PIF) entails the integration of a profession’s core values and beliefs with an individual’s existing identity and values. Within undergraduate medical education (UGME), the cultivation of PIF is a key objective. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about substantial sociocultural challenges to UGME. Existing explorations into the repercussions of COVID-19 on PIF in UGME have predominantly adopted an individualistic approach. We sought to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced PIF in UGME from a sociocultural perspective. This study aims to provide valuable insights for effectively nurturing PIF in future disruptive scenarios.
Methods: Semi structured interviews were conducted with medical students from the graduating class of 2022 (n = 7) and class of 2023 (n = 13) on their medical education experiences during the pandemic and its impact on their PIF. We used the Transformation in Medical Education (TIME) framework to develop the interview guide. Direct content analysis was used for data analysis.
Results: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the UGME experience, causing disruptions such as an abrupt shift to online learning, increased social isolation, and limited in-person opportunities. Medical students felt disconnected from peers, educators, and the clinical setting. In the clerkship stage, students recognized knowledge gaps, producing a “late blooming” effect. There was increased awareness for self-care and burnout prevention.
Discussion: Our study suggests that pandemic disruptors delayed PIF owing largely to slower acquisition of skills/knowledge and impaired socialization with the medical community. This highlights the crucial role of sociocultural experiences in developing PIF in UGME. PIF is a dynamic and adaptable process that was preserved during the COVID-19 pandemic.
dignidade do fracasso
Authors: Cossetin Vânia Lisa Fischer , Baldissera Gross Carolina
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo parte do suposto de que os campos da psicanálise e da educação, guardadas as suas especificidades, responderiam como discursos e práticas de resistência às estratégias da sociedade capitalista neoliberal de tudo reduzir a valor de mercadoria e de tornar os sujeitos meros empreendedores de si mesmos, produtivos e eficientes na manutenção de uma lógica que os responsabiliza pelos seus inúmeros insucessos. Apoiando-se em autores do campo filosófico e psicanalítico, estes escritos propõem uma reflexão que segue justamente por um caminho inverso, a saber, que a dignidade do sujeito se encontra na sua condição de ser precário e cindido, portanto, no seu incontornável direito ao fracasso. Para tanto, realiza três movimentos assim intitulados: 1) o neoliberalismo e suas armadilhas; 2) um novo ethos, um novo sujeito?; 3) a dignidade do fracasso: educação, psicanálise e resistência.

Published: February 2024

O Parfor foi um programa emergencial e provisório lançado em 2009 pelo Governo Federal, inserido na Política Nacional de Formação de Profissionais do Magistério da Educação Básica, por meio do Decreto nº 6.755/2009. Na presente pesquisa, foi investigado a implementação do Parfor na Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB). A pesquisa tem como método o Materialismo Histórico-Dialético, além disso, foram usados como instrumentos de coleta dos dados, a análise documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas com os coordenadores do Parfor e questionário com os docentes dos cursos desenvolvidos pelo plano. Os resultados apontaram que a implementação do Parfor foi eivada de desafios, seja pela não aceitação do Programa por professores da UFRB do Centro de Formação de Professores (CFP); seja pela fragilidade na efetivação do Regime de Colaboração. Assim, a gestão colegiada entre a equipe do programa, foi vista como uma forma de superar os desafios advindos da implementação do Parfor.

papel de narrativas fantasmáticas na avaliação educacional pernambucana:
Authors: Silva Divane Oliveira de Moura , Cunha Kátia Silva
Published: February 2024

Inserido no campo das políticas educacionais, este artigo objetiva explorar os motivos ideológicos que levam os indivíduos a se envolver com a avaliação educacional pernambucana, tal como se apresenta no Programa de Modernização da Gestão Pública – Metas para a Educação. Sob a ótica da Teoria do Discurso Pós-estruturalista de Laclau e Mouffe, juntamente com as Lógicas de Explicação Crítica de Glynos e Howarth, o estudo discute como a avaliação educacional pernambucana padronizada utiliza narrativas fantasmáticas, prometendo transformação e plenitude para lidar com a 'falta constitutiva’. A Teoria do Discurso permite-nos explicações críticas sobre a ideologia, para além da luta de classes, apresentando também como o conceito do 'exterior constitutivo' está relacionado à construção da identidade. Ao analisarmos essa política, inferimos que as narrativas fantasmáticas modernizantes instigam uma racionalização e um compromisso com a prática padronizadora neoliberal, contudo se apresentam incapazes de conter a imprevisibilidade no processo de identificação dos sujeitos.

Published: February 2024

The present study investigates the number of immunoregulatory cells in 55 patients suspected of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Patients were divided into three groups: RISK (13 cases), LAS/ARC (21 cases) and AIOS (21 cases) according to epidemiological and clinical findings and using CDC criteria. The CMV infection was suggested based on clinical and serological evaluations. No significant difference in CMV seropositivity was observed among the groups (66.7% to 77.0%), although a diminished number of cases 3 (14.3%) with CMV-IgM antibody was detected in AIOS group. Phenotypic analysis of leukocytes, lymphocytes and lymphocyte subsets was realized. The results obtained were similar between CMV-seroposítive and CMV-seronegative patients in each group studied. On the other hand, the number of T lymphocytes and T helper/inducer lymphocytes were markedly diminished in the LAS/ARC and AIOS groups. The number of T suppressorl cytotoxic lymphocytes was increased in all groups analysed. These alterations in T lymphocyte subsets are responsible for the reversal ratio observed in these patients.

In September 1987 an outbreak of exanthematous illness ressembling erythma infectiosum occurred at an elementary schoo1 of São Paulo city. Attempts to isoate virus from the nasofaryngeal secretion and urine and serum samples collected from the ill children in acute phase of illness resulted negative. Nevertheless, parvovirus-like particles of about 24 nm in diameter were observed by negative staining electron microscopy in concentraded urine of seven out of eight ill patients and in nasopharyngeal secretion of one out of four patients. No similar viral particle was observed in concentred urine samples collected on the same occasion from their c1assmates without evident signs of illness. This is a proposal of an alternative test for a rapid and sensitive presumptive diagnosis of human parvovirus infection.

Com o objetivo de determinar o perfil da resistência do Mycobacterium tuberculosis às drogas empregadas no tratamento da tuberculose no Estado de São Paulo, foram estudadas 1.668 cepas obtidas de amostra de escarro, sendo 254 doentes sem tratamento prévio e 1.414 na vigência de tratamento. A taxa de resistência inicial foi de 16,54% e a adquirida de 47,45%. A isoniazida apresentou resistência global de 10,62% e a rifampicina de 6,69% mostrando que as drogas mais importantes empregadas no tratamento da tuberculose estão apresentando altas taxas de resistência. Este fato causa preocupação pois pode implicar na falência do tratamento, acarretando sérias conseqüências para o controle da doença.
