Finely dispersed mineral additives containing amorphous SiO2 are successfully used in cement concretes for various purposes. Their use is due to increased durability, strength, water resistance. One of the most famous and widely used pozzolanic modifiers is microsilica. Microsilica is obtained from a waste from the production of siliconcontaining alloys containing up to 95% pure amorphous silica. Microsilica has such a disadvantage as highwater demand. To compensate, the introduction of a large amount of superplasticizer is required. In recent years, highly active metakaolin (MTK) has become increasingly popular in the world as a highly effective pozzolanic additive. This is an artificial environmentally friendly material produced from pure kaolinites. The growing popularity of MTK is due not to the fashion for new products, but to the objective advantages of this material. The purpose of this work is to study the use of metakaolin as an additive in the production of cement concrete coatings, to determine the main mechanical properties of cement beams based on activated metakaolin. Scientific research methods at work – analysis, observation, experiment, modeling

The proposed article is devoted to the analysis of quantum key distribution protocols based on the Heisenberg uncertainty. The peculiarity of this topic lies in the fact that modern methods of key distribution, which use classical calculations at their core, have significant drawbacks, in contrast to quantum key distribution. This problem concerns all types of algorithms and systems for encrypting secret information, both symmetric encryption with a private key and asymmetric encryption with a public key. An example is that in a communication channel protected by quantum key distributions, it is possible to detect an interceptor between two legal network entities using the principles laid down in quantum physics at the beginning of the last century. Principles and theorems such as the Heisenberg principle, quantum entanglement, superposition, quantum teleportation, and the no-cloning theorem. The field of study of this topic is a promising and rapidly developing area in the field of information security and information protection. There are already created commercial products with the implementation of some of the quantum key distribution protocols. Many of the created products are used in various spheres of human activity. The relevance of applying quantum key distribution protocols under ideal conditions without taking into account errors in the form of quantum noise is analyzed. The implementation of two quantum key distribution protocols based on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is demonstrated, as well as the results of the appearance of keys and the probability of occurrence of each of them. The purpose of the article is aimed at analyzing and researching quantum key distribution protocols based on Heisenberg uncertainty. The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the BB84, B92 quantum key distribution protocols.

The impact of transnational organized crime on human rights
Authors: Lecari Fredolin
Published: September 2023

Contemporary social relations evolve at an unprecedented pace, the content and the form of their realization changing qualitatively, and sometimes radically, compared to the realities of the immediate post-war world. A phenomenon essentially arising from geopolitical realities (integrationist movements, regional instability, etc.), environmental factors, technological progress, etc. is the phenomenon of transnational organized crime. In turn, transnational organized crime is the most frequent cause of social problems: poverty, inequity, social exclusion. The objective of this study is to link 2 areas of contemporary international regulations: international cooperation in combating transnational organized crime and the requirements for the protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. However, numerous resolutions adopted by international bodies demonstrate that one of their central concerns is to reduce the impact of the scourge of transnational organized crime on human rights.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare entity with unexplained cause that effects the distal bronchi. It accounts for 25% of congenital pulmonary malformations with surgical excision as the treatment of choice. The mortality rate of patients with CCAM ranges from 9 to 49% if diagnosed prenatally. The outcome of a patient mainly depends on the presence of hydrops foetalis, microscopic type of CCAM, and the size of the lesions. The mainstay treatment of CCAM is surgical excision of the lesion which prevents complications of repeated infections, pneumothorax, and malignancy. We present 2 cases one is 5-month-old male child and other 8-month female child admitted to hospital with shortness of breath and poor suckling who was evaluated for respiratory distress. Clinically diagnosed as pneumonia, CT chest showed a cystic malformation in right lower lobe of lung and excision was done.

Severe weather (rainfall intensity) impacts significantly on transportation network. This research evaluates the impact of precipitation on vehicular congestion in the city of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Traffic and rainfall data was obtained for the month of June, July and August, 2018 at Location Junction, Port Harcourt. The data was analysed in excel software to understand the trends and patterns, and the rainfall impacts on road traffic through traffic volume and vehicle speed. For the period under study, it was observed that during the month of June, average traffic volume due to rainfall was 2584, while in the month of July, the average traffic volume due to rainfall was 2177, and for the month of August, the average traffic volume was 1446. The gradual decrease in average traffic volume was obviously as a result of increase in rainfall during the study. It also shows that rainfall affects traffic speed as drivers tends to slow down during rainfall, and this was used to develop a regression model that could be used to forecast traffic congestion (with respect to speed) during rainfall condition in the city of Port Harcourt. This model was tested in MATLAB, and the result validated the data analysis which was carried out through statistical tool (excel) which shows that when rainfall intensity increases, traffic volume and traffic speed decrease.

congestion in Nigeria, focusing on Port Harcourt. The study analyzed four main routes: Location, Rumuokoro, Rumuokwuta, and GRA Junction. Field surveys collected traffic volume and video recordings of cars traveling the indicated routes between 7 am and 7 pm. The Rivers State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps provided further data. A mobile-based Traffic Management System was designed and simulated using Proteus. The technology transmits real-time traffic data from congested areas to a local server. This data is easily accessible on mobile devices. Python software was used to classify traffic congestion as heavy (0-14km/hr), medium (15-28km/hr), and free (29km/hr and above). Background subtraction was used for vehicle image analysis. The system can detect road traffic, correctly determine car speeds, count the number of vehicles, and send this traffic information to consumers via mobile devices via online communications. After simulating 1200 traffic data instances, 36 had mistaken, while 1164 were classified. This represents good accuracy, with 97% accuracy and 3% inaccuracy. The traffic data will be maintained in a database to help researchers identify places with recurring traffic congestion. These findings suggest that authorities should build alternative routes. It can also help build traffic-congestion-reducing policy review, organization, and enforcement initiatives.

Published: September 2023

Background: During growth modification, the mandible plays a crucial role in functional orthopaedic treatment. To maximize the efficacy and efficiency of functional appliance therapy, one must know when to initiate treatment. To maximize the efficacy and efficiency of functional appliance therapy, one must know when to initiate treatment. To accurately determine when to initiate functional appliance therapy, the contemporary maturity indicators utilised are subjective with poor reproducibility and validity. Quantitative cervical vertebral maturity indicators are quantitative with good reproducibility. Objective: To determine the correlation between quantitative cervical vertebral maturation and mandibular dimensional changes in 8–18-year-old growing children. Material and Method: In this prospective cross-sectional analytical study, 164 samples were employed with an age range of 8–18 years. Samples were divided into four groups as per the quantitative cervical vertebral maturity indicator. Pubertal staging was analysed utilising the Li Chang, et al. method on a lateral cephalometric radiograph, and mandibular dimensions were measured as the total mandibular length of a condylon-gnathion line, the height of the mandibular ramus from the condylon-gonion intersection line, and the length of the mandibular body from the gonion intersection-gnathion line. Statistical Analysis: The data obtained was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software; descriptive statistics, student t test and bivariant analysis were applied. Results: The mean total mandibular length was seen at its maximum in periods of high acceleration velocity. Intergroup analysis shows significant differences between the groups, and there is a strong correlation between maturational stage and mandibular dimensional change. Conclusions: During functional orthopaedic treatment planning, the mandible can be utilised as a skeletal maturity indicator.
Coelenterate and Germinal-Müllerian Papilloma Cervix: A Mini-Review
Authors: Bajaj Anubha
Published: September 2023

Müllerian papilloma of uterine cervix is an infrequently encountered, benign neoplasm simulating the malignant botyroid rhabdomyosarcoma. Of obscure aetiology or pathogenesis, Müllerian papilloma is posited to emerge from anomalous embryological tissue remnants amalgamated during foetal growth and diverse stages of foetal development. Generally asymptomatic, Müllerian papilloma may delineate abnormal vaginal bleeding, spotting and/or vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, lumbar pain, discomfort, difficulty in micturition or primary infertility in adulthood due to mechanical obstruction of cervix. Neoplasm is comprised of papillary stalks layered by mucinous epithelium with focal squamous metaplasia and an extensively cellular and fibrous encompassing stroma. Tumefaction appears immune reactive to CK7, CA125 or Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA). Müllerian papilloma of uterine cervix requires segregation from neoplasms such as botyroid rhabdomyosarcoma, cervical clear cell carcinoma or cervical polyp demonstrating superficial ulceration, haemorrhage or secondary infections. Müllerian papilloma of uterine cervix may be appropriately discerned with competent history and physical examination with pelvic evaluation, abdominal ultrasonography, Computerized Tomography (CT), contrast enhanced computerized tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of abdomen and pelvis. Müllerian papilloma of uterine cervix may be appropriately managed with comprehensive, localized surgical extermination of the neoplasm.

Podem as práticas epistêmicas contribuir para o desenvolvimento de competências metacognitivas?
Authors: Mota Ana Rita , Silva Fernando , Sasseron Lúcia Helena
Published: September 2023

Pesquisas da área de Educação em Ciências e das Ciências Cognitivas têm indicado a necessidade de abordagem de aspectos sociais para a promoção, em sala de aula, dos processos de pensamento dos estudantes sobre aspectos vinculados à construção e à justificação dos entendimentos sobre ciências e sobre fenômenos do mundo natural. No entanto, muitos desses estudos têm abordado somente a cognição, suprimindo a metacognição, isto é, o conhecimento que cada estudante tem dos próprios processos e produtos cognitivos, bem como o monitoramento e avaliação desse sistema cognitivo. O objetivo deste artigo é ponderar sobre o papel das práticas epistêmicas como promotoras de competências metacognitivas, em ações didáticas, no ensino de ciências. A reflexão e discussão desenvolvidas sugere uma relação entre a mobilização de práticas epistêmicas e o desenvolvimento de competências metacognitivas, no que respeita aos elementos metacognitivos que constituem a regulação da cognição (planejamento, monitoramento, avaliação, gestão da informação e depuração). Esta relação consolida a aprendizagem como um processo (meta)cognitivo e social. Como perspectivas para estudos futuros, destaca-se a importância de analisar e refinar as potencialidades da metacognição, aliada às práticas epistêmicas, como orientadoras pedagógicas no campo educacional e como referencial téorico-metodológico.

Published: September 2023

Este estudo apresenta como objetivo desenvolver uma revisão bibliográfica acerca de como as competências metacognitivas podem impactar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de alunos com transtorno do espectro autista. A metodologia adotada foi de uma revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados OASISBR; SciELO Brasil; Scopus e ERIC. As palavras-chave adotadas foram: “Transtorno do Espectro Autista”; “Autismo”; “Metacognição” e “Aprendizagem”, e suas versões em inglês. Foram selecionados para análise quatro artigos que atendiam aos critérios de inclusão. Os resultados apontam para uma escassez de pesquisas sobre esta temática no Brasil, porém, com um desenvolvimento em países como Estados Unidos e Reino Unido. Observa-se que os sujeitos autistas, apesar de em alguns casos apresentarem maior dificuldade no desenvolvimento de habilidades metacognitivas, estas podem ser desenvolvidas com uso dos recursos corretos, o que leva a uma melhora no seu processo de ensino e aprendizagem, principalmente por promoverem habilidades metacognitivas.
O planejamento como estratégia metacognitiva em atividades de modelagem matemática
Authors: Almeida Lourdes Maria Werle de , Castro Élida Maiara Velozo de
Published: September 2023

O planejamento é objeto de atenção no presente artigo sob a perspectiva da metacognição. A investigação é orientada pela pergunta: O planejamento em atividades de modelagem matemática é mediado por estratégias metacognitivas? A análise é pautada em uma pesquisa empírica realizada com alunos de um curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, bem como em um quadro teórico relativo à metacognição, modelagem matemática e suas interlocuções já reconhecidas. O processo analítico, alinhado com características da pesquisa qualitativa, permite identificar que o planejamento, estendendo-se pelas diferentes etapas de uma atividade de modelagem, é marcado pelo pensamento antecipatório e inclui o que fazer, como fazer e quando fazer. Os dados obtidos em diálogo com o que se reconhece na literatura permitem caracterizar seis estratégias metacognitivas em que se ancora o planejamento dos alunos em atividades de modelagem matemática.

Formas adultas de lepidópteros podem causar problemas de saúde. Esse tipo de acidente é conhecido como lepidopterismo, causado pelo contato com cerdas urticantes liberadas por adultos, como as do gênero Hylesia Hübner (Saturniidae). Neste estudo, o objetivo é registrar uma nova ocorrência de lepidopterismo causado por espécimes de Hylesia nigricans (Berg, 1875) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). O surto ocorreu no verão de 2017, no município de Três Coroas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. No período, aproximadamente 300 pessoas foram acometidas por dermatite no município. O surto foi causado pela liberação de dois tipos de setas urticantes das mariposas fêmeas no ambiente. Ressaltamos que na ocorrência da proliferação dessa espécie de mariposa, é importante instruir a população a evitar o contato direto com esses insetos. O monitoramento desses grupos de lepidópteros é fundamental para facilitar a tomadade decisões e garantir a saúde pública.
