Authors: Oliveira Natan Gustavo de , Ruela Samea Ferreira , Souza Telma Lima de , Martinez Maria Regina , Sanches Roberta Seron , Bressan Vânia Regina
Published: September 2024

The study aimed to analyze the evidence available in the literature on the assistance provided by the Urgent and Emergency Service to people attempting suicide. This is an integrative review carried out between February and June 2023 in the databases Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), using controlled and uncontrolled descriptors. Articles were included in full and available free of charge, which were in accordance with the proposed theme and objective, published in Portuguese, English or Spanish, between 2019 and 2023. It was shown that the number of suicide attempts increases over the years. The profile of patients with suicide attempts treated in urgency and emergency units depends on each location. In some units the majority are men and in others the majority are women, both young. Women use exogenous intoxication or poisoning as a trial method and men use hanging or sharp objects. The importance of the multidisciplinary and nursing team in welcoming and caring for these patients and preventing repetitive suicide attempts was observed. Underreporting of cases is still present, as well as the lack of professional qualifications and the use of care tools or protocols. It is believed that this study can contribute to improving the qualification of professionals by training institutions in serving this clientele, as well as contributing to the adoption of tools, instruments and care protocols, both by hospital institutions and by public policies, to reflect on improving the quality of care provided to patients attempting suicide.

The results of direct femtosecond laser structuring of GaAs wafer coated with continuous semitransparent gold (Au) film are presented. The obtained structures demonstrate a combination of different features, namely laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on semiconductor and metal film, nanoparticles, Au islands, and fragments of exfoliated Au film. The properties of Au-GaAs samples are studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman scattering, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The behaviour of phonon modes and enhancement of band-edge PL of Au-GaAs composite sample are discussed. The Raman spectra of Au-GaAs sample processed at different levels of irradiation pulse energy reveal forbidden TO and allowed LO phonon modes for selected geometry of experiment, as well as the manifestation of GaAs surface oxidation and amorphization. A 12-fold increase of PL intensity for Au-GaAs sample with LIPSS compared to initial GaAs surface is observed. The detected PL enhancement is caused by an increase of absorption in GaAs due to the light field enhancement near the Au nanoislands and a decrease of nonradiative surface recombination. The blue shift of PL band is caused by the quantum size effect in GaAs nano-sized features at laser processed surface. The combination of GaAs substrate with surface micro- and nanostructures with Au nanoparticles can be useful for photovoltaic and sensorics applications.

Long-term changes in radiative recombination spectra of n-GaN after magnetic field treatments have been studied. It has been found out that the intensity of the radiation of donor-acceptor pairs remains unchanged over time, while the intensity of edge photoluminescence significantly decreases. These features have been explained by assuming the formation of additional donor levels and using the concepts of the queueing theory of donor-acceptor recombination.

In this work, the thiazole organic multidomain dye HTTH, which exhibits excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) phenomenon, is used as a sample to investigate the influence of the component concentration of the “polycarbonate matrix – gold nanostructures – HTTH dye” system on its photoluminescence spectral characteristics. A hypothesis that different forms of the dye, such as enol form (in the ground state) and keto form (after proton transfer), may be involved in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET) mediated by gold nanostructures was experimentally verified. The concentration dependence and spectral rearrangement in the photoluminescence of the developed thin-film nanocomposite based on gold nanostructures and HTTH with a transverse concentration gradient were demonstrated and explained by the efficiency of FRET and PRET phenomena depending on the system parameters. The ascertained features open up the possibility of additional manipulation of the spectral properties of the system based on ESIPT-exhibiting molecules by optimization of their parameters, particularly the concentration of components.

Wave characteristics of vortex laser beams during their tight focusing have been theoretically studied. The Rayleigh–Sommerfeld theory was used to describe propagation in free space of laser beams excited by the modes of a waveguide dielectric resonator. It is shown that at the topological charge of the spiral phase plate n = 0, the studied EH11 mode has a maximum of radiation intensity on the axis. Introduction of a topological charge leads to the appearance of a minimum of radiation intensity on the axis as well as to the increase in the size of the focal spot. However, for the TE01 mode with the topological charges n = 0 and n = 2, the intensity distribution retains a ring shape, while at n = 1 the beam profile turns into the Gaussian-like one. The wave front in the focal region of the lens for the components of the EH11 and TE01 modes transforms from spherical to spiral one with increasing the topological charge.

The relevance of developing integrated lighting systems in conditions of unstable power supply via general-purpose networks is beyond doubt. This article discusses original technical solutions for LED modules that ensure system operation within a wide range of input supply voltages for direct and alternating currents. The effectiveness of the proposed circuit approach is demonstrated using the example of a developed LED lighting device with an electronic LED power system with a driver built using the concept of flyback topology, capable of working with input voltages of both direct (20…300 V) and alternating (36…300 V) currents. The results of experimental studies of electro-optical parameters and characteristics of the manufactured prototypes of the developed lighting systems are presented. It has been shown that the LED modules demonstrate a stable luminous flux and a high luminous efficiency (more than 150 lm/W) at various values and types of supply voltage. The developed lighting systems can be effectively used in domestic and industrial environments, including special-purpose facilities, namely, shelters and warehouses for various purposes, etc.

Published: September 2024

CONTEXT

There is uncertainty whether acetaminophen and ibuprofen are similar in their effects and safety when used as single or dual (alternating or combined) therapies.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the comparative efficacy of acetaminophen, ibuprofen alone, alternating, or combined through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

DATA SOURCES

Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL from inception to September 20, 2023.

STUDY SELECTION

Randomized trials comparing acetaminophen, ibuprofen, both alternating, and both combined, for treating children with fever.

DATA EXTRACTION

Two reviewers independently screened abstracts and full texts, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias. We performed pairwise and network meta-analysis using the random-effects model.

RESULTS

We included 31 trials (5009 children). We found that combined (odds ratio [OR], 0.19; confidence interval [CI], 0.09–0.42) and alternating therapies (OR, 0.20; CI, 0.06–0.63) may be superior to acetaminophen, whereas ibuprofen at a high dose may be comparable (OR, 0.98; CI, 0.63–1.59) in terms of proportion of afebrile children at the fourth hour. These results were similar at the sixth hour. There were no differences between ibuprofen (low or high dose), or alternating, or combined with acetaminophen in terms of adverse events.

LIMITATIONS

We only evaluated the efficacy and safety during the first 6 hours.

CONCLUSIONS

Dual may be superior to single therapies for treating fever in children. Acetaminophen may be inferior to combined or alternating therapies to get children afebrile at 4 and 6 hours. Compared with ibuprofen, acetaminophen was also inferior to ibuprofen alone at 4 hours, but similar at 6 hours. PROSPERO registration: CRD42016035236.
Values and Education for Values of Today's Youth
Authors: Lesková Andrea , Yochanna Miri
Published: September 2024

Thesis. The aim of the study is to critically reflect on the challenges and current issues of value-oriented education in relation to youth. It focuses on youth as a specific generational group, internally extremely variable, in the context of massive changes in society, especially with the increase in the importance of digital technologies and social networks in the educational process.
Concept. In the published study, several perspectives on the issue overlap on the theoretical and research levels. Healthy, functioning families are at the epicentre of concern for any society that cares about its own future. One of the major problems of contemporary public life, especially after the emergence of the so-called new media, is undoubtedly the issue of raising children in a media-saturated environment. The line of thought of the study is concentrated on the responsibility for the future of the society also through the formation of the value system of the young generation, considering the potential of the family in the given context.
Results and conclusion. The study captures the essence, specifics, and selected aspects of insight into value-oriented youth education in the context of contemporary society. The present analysis is based on the knowledge of several scientific disciplines and its interdisciplinary character allows to look at the mentioned issue through the prism of one's own scientific field. The conclusion of the study highlights the irreplaceable importance of values education for youth, based on the central idea that values are the fundamental pillar of any society's development. It calls for values education, which is primarily the task and responsibility of the family or parents, pointing to authenticity and the need to preserve unity of thought, word and deed in a given context. Considering the dynamically changing times with an emphasis on value pluralism, as well as the tremendous growth of digital technologies, the study is a beneficial contribution to the social science discourse on values education in relation to children and youth, especially family education, which is of fundamental, formative importance for the individual.

Authors: Wei Ju-Hui , Chuang Hsueh-Hua
Published: September 2024

Aim. This study aims to elucidate the multifaceted nature of creative teaching within the specific context of educational reform by exploring the nuanced perspectives of in-service teachers through their real-life teaching experiences.
Methods. A qualitative approach was adopted, with semi-structured, vignette-based interviews with 19 teachers from elementary, junior high, and senior high schools in Taiwan. Data analysis followed reflexive thematic analysis methods.
Results. The findings underscore that in-service teachers perceive creative teaching not as the creation of entirely new educational paradigms but rather as the adoption of unconventional methods. This entails the adaptive and strategic utilisation of diverse teaching methods, the integration of multidisciplinary content, and an enduring commitment to continuous improvement. It is an incremental process involving the continuous absorption of new concepts, the adaptation of new methods, and making progressive adjustments.
Conclusion. Enhancing teachers’ creative teaching requires a context-specific understanding of its essence, facilitating targeted promotion and teacher education. This study addresses the research gap by qualitatively investigating teachers’ perspectives on creative teaching and its implementation. The insights gained in this study are crucial in guiding the effective integration of creativity into pedagogical practice within teacher education and professional development endeavours.
Cognitive value. This study challenges the conventional notion that creative teaching involves the invention of entirely new methods, arguing instead that creative teaching is primarily concerned with the ways in which teachers implement unconventional approaches, rather than the novelty of those approaches. These findings offer a novel perspective on fostering creative teaching within teacher development endeavours.

Learners Attitude and Academic Success Towards Science
Authors: Taghap Raffy , Mannan Addani Sitti Sheena
Published: September 2024

Aim. COVID-19 disrupted education, leading to new learning methods. Other factors like attitude are overlooked but can aid effective learning. This paper explores two major variables: the learners’ learning attitude and academic performance in science. The study analysed students’ learning attitude, academic performance, and relationships in a blended learning setting for science.
Method. The study used a mixed-methods design, with both quantitative and qualitative phases. Participants were in a blended learning program.
Results. Learning can happen in a blended learning modality, with the learners’ mean grade of 87.03 (Very Satisfactory). Learners have a favourable learning attitude towards science (3.49; moderate attitude). The highest aspect of the learning attitude of learners in the blended learning modality is affective (3.72; high attitude), followed by cognitive (3.62; moderate attitude) and behavioural (3.15; moderate attitude). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation, r(78) =.48, p < 0.01, between the LLATS and SAP of the learners in blended learning.
Conclusion. Learning can effectively take place in a blended learning modality. Learners exhibit a positive attitude towards science learning in a blended learning environment, with affective attitudes ranking the highest, followed by cognitive and behavioural attitudes. This can be attributed to the teachers’ efforts in providing ample opportunities for the development of both affective and cognitive aspects of attitude. However, the pandemic has presented limitations in cultivating positive behaviour attitude. Learners persevered through challenges, thanks to dedicated teachers fostering positivity and academic growth.

Published: September 2024

At times of informational deluge, the man in the street is especially vulnerable to the harmful influence of media, to which not only closed groups of people sharing the same beliefs and views contribute but also bots and trolls spreading fake news in the form of conspiracy theories, misinformation, disinformation and propaganda. This audience without proper education and not reflecting on the information gained, can spread more information of this type. Scholars closed in their own reality, conceived of only their inerrancy not only are unable to support, but also are not conducive to the development of science. They also vilify people having different views and the representatives of other disciplines, which they consider inferior. This introduction presents the value of different types of knowledge, not only the scientific ones, and shows its importance for people who may not have other possibilities to learn and understand true science which indicates the meaning of knowledge, which is accessible for people without an academic education. Different types of knowledge, even the seemingly non-scientific type, are the basics for human development and learning. The key to this development, however, is teaching critical thinking. Essential for any change is also the proper choice of academic powers, appreciating and supporting researchers who really affect science, apart from the closed environment of faithful fanatics, and who are able to do science at a global level.

Aim. This study analyses the impact of adaptive quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic on the perception of school’s social climate by students in more or less urbanised areas.
Methods. The data was collected in 2016 (before the pandemic, n=1801) and in 2020 (during the pandemic, n=2038) among randomly selected 9th-grade classes (mean age=14) in a large city (Lviv), a small town (Drohobych), and rural areas (Drohobych raion). Generalised linear regression mixed modelling was applied to assess the impact of gender, location, year of the survey, and for the 2020 - for the quality of coping with the pandemic situation – and the interactive effect of these factors on the variability of school climate perception.
Results. Before the pandemic, the acceptability of school climate was the highest in rural areas and the lowest in the city. During the pandemic, it decreased among students from rural areas and increased in towns. Students who perceived COVID-19 pandemic restrictions as more burdensome evaluated their school climate more positively than students who coped well with the pandemic.
Conclusion. The impact of the tense pandemic situation on the attitude of adolescents to school was complex and probably reflected the inequality in the education system in urban and rural areas.
Conceptualisation and operationalisation of minorities in international law: Past experiences and new avenues
Authors: Nagy Noémi , Vizi Balázs
Published: September 2024

Despite decades of scholarly effort, there is still no universally accepted definition of the concept of minorities or the criteria for minority membership. Beyond its theoretical importance, the lack of a definition also has practical significance, as it may easily lead to the abuse of minority rights. In this paper, we offer a brief historical overview of the various definitional attempts in international law, including those enshrined in legal documents as well as in the practice of adjudicatory bodies. Starting from the era of the League of Nations and the case-law of the Permanent Court of International Justice, we continue by looking at major developments within the United Nations (with special attention to the practice of the Human Rights Committee) as well as the Council of Europe (and the approach of the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention for National Minorities). Our aim is to explore the trajectory from old to recent conceptual endeavours, where the major dividing line is drawn between the relatively narrow notion of minorities (covering only autochthonous or traditional groups) as opposed to a more inclusive view (including also immigrants and, potentially, visitors under the minority protection mechanisms).

Authors: Jenifer R. Rita , Prakash V. Sinthu
Published: September 2024

IoT devices are crucial in this modern world in many ways, as they provide support for environmental sensing, automation, and responsible resource conservation. The immense presence of IoT devices in everyday life is inevitable in the smart world. The predominant usage of IoT devices lurks the prying eyes of intentional hackers. Though there are several precautionary security systems and protocols available for generic wireless networks, it is observed that there is a need to formulate a state-of-the-art security mechanism exclusively for IoT network environments. This work is submitted here for the betterment of IoT network security. Three dedicated contributions are integrated in this work to achieve higher security scores in IoT network environments. Fast Fuzzy Anomaly Detector, Legacy Naïve Bayes Attack Classifiers, and Variable Security Schemer of Rivest-Shamir-Adleman algorithm are the novel modules introduced in this work abbreviated as ASORI. Captivating the advantages of the onboard IoT certification mechanism and selecting a dynamic security strategy are the novelties introduced in this work. ASORI model is tested with industrial standard network simulator OPNET to ensure the improved security along with vital network performance parameter betterments.
Filozofia dla dziennikarzy Tom 1: Filozofia starożytna w kontekście prawdy jako podstawowej wartości komunikacyjnej
Authors: Bednarska Maja
Published: September 2024

The monograph by Maja Bednarska, titled “Philosophy for Journalists. Volume I: Ancient Philosophy in the Context of Truth as a Fundamental Communicative Value”, explores the relationship between ancient philosophy and journalism, emphasising truth as a key communicative value. The book consists of five chapters, each addressing different aspects of contemporary journalistic practice and its philosophical foundations. Chapter one describes the historical and philosophical roots of journalism, drawing on the ideas of ancient philosophers such as Thales, Heraclitus, and Anaximander. The author presents philosophy as a source of critical thinking, essential for understanding modern media and their role in the pursuit of truth. Chapter two focuses on the axiological foundations of journalism, analyzing the concept of truth from ontological, epistemological, logical, and axiological perspectives. The author demonstrates how these different interpretations of truth can be applied in journalistic practice to better address contemporary challenges, including fake news and misinformation. Chapter three discusses the practical applications of philosophy in journalism. The author argues that philosophy not only fosters critical thinking but also provides tools for responsible analysis and information dissemination in an increasingly complex media environment. Chapter four examines modern media as carriers of information and tools for shaping sociopolitical reality. The author analyses the role of media in shaping social attitudes and the responsibility of journalists to deliver accurate information, while also exploring the impact of technology on the quality of media reporting. Chapter five focuses on the challenges facing journalism in the context of rapidly developing digital technologies. The author explores how new media are affecting the concept of truth and how journalists can adapt their methods to remain true to ethical standards and reliability in a fast-changing information landscape. In conclusion, Maja Bednarska’s monograph shows that philosophy can support journalism not only in theoretical terms but also as a practical tool for solving contemporary communication challenges. The author emphasizes that the collaboration between these two fields is crucial for the future of responsible media.

Alongside the tragic consequences of the armed conflict, the Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022 resulted in an upheaval within the educational system in Poland. This situation posed challenges for Ukrainian children arriving in Poland as well as for teachers and students in educational institutions where refugee children were being admitted without restrictions. The author’s research and educational project “Ukrainian Teaching Materials 2022” for Wrocław’s pre – and early school education in 2022 aimed to support the development of language skills among refugee children in their native language and in Polish, and to support preschool and early school teachers in this endeavour by providing them with appropriately prepared methodological packages. A diagnostic survey identified teachers’ needs regarding methodological materials. At the same time, a follow-up focus group interview conducted 30–40 days later presented teachers’ reflections and experiences in teaching in linguistically and culturally diverse groups during the initial period of the war migration. The project was also aimed to raise awareness among teachers and to cultivate an open attitude towards using bilingual and Ukrainian-language materials in working with children with war migration experience. Due to the collected extensive research material, the research findings were divided into two parts: the first part presents the theoretical and methodological context of the project as well as the results of the survey. In contrast, the second part presents the results of the focus group research and discussion based on the literature review.
Evolução planetária e as assimétricas flechas do espaço-tempo na auto-organização do Antropoceno
Authors: Camargo Luis Henrique de
Published: September 2024

Este artigo objetiva verificar a relação da sociedade com a natureza, e os seus fluxos energéticos termodinâmicos, como elemento evolutivo, gerando totalização e sendo analisados pela(s) flecha(s) do espaço-tempo.  Este artigo verificará também, como este processo influencia na formação do Antropoceno. Neste sentido, serão aplicados os princípios nascidos após o advento da mecânica quântica, à análise espaço-temporal da physis (que integra sociedade-natureza). O artigo verifica, também, como cada forma-conteúdo, de forma singular, contribui energeticamente para o desenvolvimento da sua flecha do espaço-tempo. Assim, será verificado também como o processo produtivo atual associa-se, em geral, ao rompimento dos estados de homeostase, no balanço energético do processo de troca entre energia e matéria, e como o antigo padrão de relativa estabilidade, que caracterizava o Holoceno, vem sendo substituído pela desordem, que está na base do surgimento do Antropoceno.
Escravidão e degradação socioambiental no Recôncavo baiano no período colonial
Authors: Santos Antônio Carlos dos , Guimarães Rosemeire Maria Antonieta Motta
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como a escravidão negreira esteve a serviço da devastação ambiental no Recôncavo Baiano durante o período colonial. Trata-se de um par pouco conhecido, embora largamente comentado por muitos, mas de forma separada. Este texto visa a preencher uma lacuna bibliográfica ao trabalhar dois conceitos caros à sociedade brasileira: o problema da escravidão e o da devastação ambiental na região do Recôncavo Baiano. Por essa razão o presente texto está dividido em duas partes: na primeira, será examinado o comércio dos escravos e sua finalidade inicial; na segunda, será perscrutado como a devastação ambiental foi executada pelos negros, a mando de seus senhores, a fim de suprir o mercado exportador de madeiras, sobretudo, deixando consequências indeléveis para a região até os dias de hoje. Espera-se que o texto possa colaborar com o avanço dos estudos interdisciplinares sobre a história ambiental no Brasil.
