Doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) associadas diretamente a hábitos de vida inadequados como sedentarismo, uso de tabaco, consumo de álcool e alimentação inapropriada, acometem cerca de 38 milhões de pessoas por ano, equivalente a 68% de todas as mortes que ocorrem no mundo. (MENDENHALL et al., 2017) No Brasil, as DCNT são responsáveis por 54,7% das causas de óbito no ano de 2019, embora o governo brasileiro desde 2011 implantou planos de estratégia para enfrentamento das DCNT. (MINISTÉRIO DA SAÚDE, 2021) O diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) caracteriza-se como patologia de caráter autoimune, onde ocorre a destruição progressiva e irreversível da célula beta do pâncreas que leva ao estágio de deficiência absoluta de insulina, mais frequente em crianças e adolescentes, podendo acometer, na minoria, adultos e idosos. (SOCIEDADE BRASILEIRA DE DIABETES, 2018) O diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), caracteriza-se por uma deficiência relativa da ação da insulina, ou seja, há um estado de resistência à ação da insulina, associado com progressão da doença a um defeito na sua secreção. O DM2 é a mais relevante causa de doenças cardiovasculares, de cegueira, insuficiência renal e até mesmo amputação de membros inferiores. No Brasil, em 2018 registraram-se 65 mil mortes por causa de complicações da DM2. (MINISTÉRIO DA SAÚDE, 2020) Os critérios para o diagnóstico do DM são: poliúria, polidipsia, perda de peso e teste de tolerância oral à glicose; <140 a >200 mg/dl (pré-diabético) e ≥ 200 mg/dl (diabético), glicemia de jejum ≥ 126 mg/dl (duas vezes consecutivas); glicemia pós-prandial ≥ 200 mg/dl, <140 a >200 mg/dl (pré-diabético) e ≥ 200 mg/dl (diabético); glicemia esporádica (glicemia casual) ≥ 200mg/dl; hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) ≥5,7% e <6,5% (pré-diabético) e ≥6,5% (diabético). O DM2, os fatores de risco são: pessoas acima de 40 anos de idade; diagnóstico de pré-diabetes (diminuição da tolerância à glicose ou glicose de jejum alterada); hipertensão; dislipidemia; sobrepeso ou obesidade; histórico familiar de DM2; história de diabetes gestacional ou de recém-nascido com mais de 4 kg.

Published: March 2023

A Displasia Epitelial Oral (DEO) é uma leucoplasia cancerizável, ou seja, possui potencial de sofrer transformação maligna. Sua etiologia é multifatorial, sendo o hábito de fumar o fator mais influente.  O Papiloma Escamoso é a neoplasia benigna epitelial mais comum da região oral, não existindo meio de transmissão definido, porém a grande maioria dos papilomas tem sua causa relacionada com os membros da família do papilomavírus humano (HPV), sendo esse também um fator que corrobora para contenção do mecanismo de defesa celular do organismo, contribuindo para aparição da displasia epitelial. O presente artigo relata o caso de uma paciente fumante, que apresentava lesões bucais nas regiões de rebordo alveolar inferior e borda lateral da língua, na qual a primeira era compatível com papiloma escamoso e a segunda com leucoplasia. Realizou-se biópsia com remoção excisional e remoção incisional das respectivas lesões e após análise histopatológica, o diagnóstico foi C/C (compatível com) Papiloma escamoso e Displasia epitelial moderada a severa. A paciente foi encaminhada para o INCA (Instituto Nacional de Câncer) para receber o devido tratamento e acompanhamento, e instruída a interromper o hábito deletério do tabagismo.

Retinoblastoma management: a systematic review
Authors: Polo Dania Jimena Salcedo , Anaya Luis Alberto Cervantes , Ortiz Fabricio Byron Guerrero
Published: March 2023

Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer that occurs in children under 5 years of age from which leukocoria and strabismus are the characteristic signs of this disease. For every 16,000 to 18,000 newborns worldwide, one will get retinoblastoma, while at the Latin American context there are no reported data due to scant research. Therefore, the reason for this research is to describe the management of retinoblastoma. Trauma, human papillomavirus (HPV), and genetic alterations in the RB1 gene are possible causative factors for retinoblastoma. The diagnosis is based on the clinic, genetic tests, imaging tests and in cases of metastasis, a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) aspiration is performed through lumbar puncture. There is another method such as non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD), here the main diagnosis is indirect ophthalmoscopy. The treatment is directly related to the evolution of the disease using different methods such as enucleation, cryotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy that can be used individually or in combination to improve the quality of life of the patient; however, enucleation followed by chemotherapy remain as the main method of treatment.

Published: March 2023

Continuum robots with their inherent compliance provide the potential for crossing narrow unstructured workspace and safely grasping various objects. However, the display gripper increases the size of the robots, and therefore, it tends to get stuck in constrained environments. This paper proposes a versatile continuum grasping robot (CGR) with a concealable gripper. The CGR can capture large objects with respect to the robot’s scale using the continuum manipulator and can grasp various objects using the end concealable gripper especially in narrow and unstructured workspaces. To perform the cooperative operation of the concealable gripper and the continuum manipulator, a global kinematic model based on screw theory and a motion planning approach referred to as “multi-node synergy method” for the CGR are presented. The simulation and experimental results show that objects of different shapes and sizes can be captured by the same CGR even in complex and narrow environments. Finally, in the future, the CGR is expected to serve for satellite capture in harsh space environments such as high vacuum, strong radiation, and extreme temperatures.

Authors:   The hoseo Archaeological Society, Lee Hwajong , Lee Jungchul
Published: March 2023

Ganghwa Island is located in the area where the Han river meets the West sea in Korea. The area of the island is 305.75㎢ which is the 5th largest island. In Ganghwa Island, a number of cultural heritage are located; one third of nationally or regionally designated cultural heritage are in the island among the designated heritage in Incheon. It means the cultural heritage would be a important resource for the local society. Among the important cultural heritage in the island, Ganghwa Dondae(fortification) is a significant heritage to show the history and culture of the island as a defense facilities surrounding the whole the island. Ganghwa island was a security and safety place for the Joseon Dynasty since the Manchu war of 1636 and place where Joseon faced the western imperialism in the 19th century. In these all historic events, Ganghwa Dondae(fortification) was a significant role to defend the Korean peninsula against the external forces.
This paper attempts to suggest the strategies to preserve and use of the value of the Ganghwa Dondae(fortification). For this, academic research and documents of repair and restoration are explored and the present condition of the sites was examined for the 15 sites of Ganghwa Dondae(fortification) including use of the sites. As a result, some issues are identified about the lack of academic investigation and study for the management, authenticity and integrity, management of landscape and use programmes.
In order to manage the value of the Ganghwa Dondae(fortification), the first step would be the scientific excavation on the sites to gather information for repair and restoration. It is also expected that the information will be contributed reconsideration for re-designation of the Ganghwa Dondae(fortification) as a serial property. Based on these study and the administrative support will develop the use programmes for the cultural resources as well as Ganghwa Dondae(fortification).

Authors: Öner Sibel
Published: March 2023

Ecological migration can be defined as the forced abandonment of the place where people live in order to continue their lives after the deterioration of the ecological balance for various reasons as a result of the negativities they have experienced. In this study, it was tried to determine the views of social studies teachers about migrations due to ecological reasons. There search was carried out with the voluntary participation of teachers working in Ankara, Istanbul, Eskişehir, Isparta, Kocaeli, Mersin, Ordu, Yozgat and Sinop. Descriptive analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. Interview questions were sent to teachers over the internet. Interview questions consist of open-ended questions. As a result of the data obtained, teachers found the subject of ecological migration inadequate in the social studies textbooks, that the subject was not directly mentioned in the program, that the knowledge, skills and behaviors that students would gain by teaching this subject would reduce environmental problems, and there were also reasons why people would have to leave their place of residence due to ecological reasons will be disappeared. When there lated field is examined in the literature, a suggestion has been made to fill the gap in the field due to the lack of any study in the field of education on this subject.
Approaches of Science Teacher Candidates to Errors in Regarding the Concepts of General Mathematics
Authors: Gedik Altun Solmaz Damla
Published: March 2023

The teacher must, first of all, have a good knowledge of mathematics to detect the errors in the student’s mathematical knowledge and to identify the general situation in the classroom. This depends on the mathematical knowledge gained in the teacher training schools. General mathematics topics occupying an important place in the departments of mathematics and science education form the basis for a better understanding and comprehension of subsequent mathematics and science topics (Gökçek & Açıkyıldız, 2015).In this study, approaches of teacher candidates to errors in the questions on limits, derivatives, integrals, and asymptotes were determined as the case of the research. Perspectives regarding this case were examined in detail in line with the candidates’ answers to the questions “what, how, why” and presented to the reader (Yin, 1984).Participants of the study consisted of sixty first-year students studying in the Department of Science Education of a university in Central Anatolia. In the research, a knowledge test consisting of six open-ended questions was used as the data collection tool.
The Cultural Basis of the Violence against Woman
Authors: Tatar Mustafa
Published: March 2023

People are born into an existing culture and are shaped by it, whether they realize it or not. The fact that people socializing in the same cultural environment have similar values, norms and behavior patterns results from this feature of the culture. While there are quite distinguishable differences between the cultures of different societies in the world, when it comes to violence against women, the distinctiveness of cultures disappears and societies show great similarities with each other. This is due to the fact that men’s perspectives on women are similar around the World. The elimination of the violence primarily depends on men to change their perspective on women; to accept that women are human beings in the true sense of the word to accept that they have a dignity and this honor is at least as valuable as their own and to perform their relations with women on this acceptance. For a world without violence, both formal and informal education institutions have great responsibilities. The problem of violence can be solved by starting a total education campaign in the media, schools and religious institutions, especially in the family. The cultural basis of violence against women is tried to be revealed in this study. With this aim, the hints of the culture that feed violence are traced in proverbs and creation myths collected from different parts of the world.

Authors: Işikli Mesut , Sezer Adem
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate pre-service social studies teachers’ self-efficacy perceptions towards the integration of technology in education and their technology acceptance levels in terms of different variables (gender, grade, level of interest in technological innovations, training on the use of technology in education) and to reveal whether there was a significant relationship between them.181 pre-service social studies teachers studying at 3 different universities from 3 different regions in Turkey participated in the study which was designed in accordance with the relational survey and causal comparative models. The participation was on a voluntarily basis and the participants were selected using convenience sampling method. The data were collected through Computer Technology Integration Survey and Technology Acceptance Measure for Pre-service Teachers. SPSS 20 was used in data analysis. The results showed that gender had a significant effect on self-efficacy perceptions whereas it did not play a role in acceptance levels. In addition, it was found that although grade level did not have a significant effect on self-efficacy perception, it played a significant role in acceptance levels. Furthermore, the level of interest in technological innovations was found to have a significant effect on self-efficacy perceptions. It was also found that training on the use of technology in education had a significant impact on both self-efficacy perceptions and acceptance levels. Finally, this study revealed a positive moderate relationship between self-efficacy perceptions towards technology integration and technology acceptance levels of the participants
How do Teachers Describe Their Experiences with School-Based Supervision Applications with Metaphorical Expressions?
Authors: Iş Engin , Semmih Summak M
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ experiences about school-based supervision practices through metaphorical expressions. In the study, a descriptive case study approach, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. In sample selection, the maximum diversity sampling technique, a purposive sampling method, used and 38 teachers working in primary school (N=19) and secondary school (N=19) were participated in the study. “Scenario drafts” representing 4 supervision styles based on “School-Based Supervision Approaches Scale” developed by İş and Summak (2021) were used as a data collection tool in the study. The main purpose of the scenarios is to express the atmosphere of the supervision that takes place in the classroom through the eyes of an “outsider storyteller”. The data was obtained through the scenario forms including expressions “The supervisory approach of the principal in the scenario is like…. Because: …”. Descriptive analysis and content analysis techniques were used in the analysis of the data. The findings showed that the metaphors used by the participants regarding the supervisory approaches of the school principals were grouped under different categories in terms of their common characteristics. The results revealed that teachers’ perceptions of supervisory approaches used by principals were generally negative. Based on the data patterns obtained from the “School-Based Supervision Approaches Scale”, the participants used 130 metaphors using the “scenario drafts” representing the four supervision styles. It was found that 77% of the metaphors had negative and 23% positive meanings. The perception that school principals did not have the competency to make professional and objective evaluations in the supervision process and that they were inadequate in terms of communication and content knowledge were highlighted by the participants. As a result, it was concluded that when school principals have competencies to make a professional and objective evaluation, teachers will be eager to be supervised and have a positive perception to the school principals having a supervisor role.
How Has the Pandemic Affected Social Values? From the Perspective of Pre-Service Teachers, Is it Erosion or Gain?
Authors: Metin Özge , Dolmaz Mustafa
Published: March 2023

This research aims to examine from the perspective of pre-service teachers how values, which have a great function in ensuring social order and welfare, maintaining healthy interpersonal relations, adapting the behaviour of the individual with the expectations of social life, and preventing possible social problems, are affected by the pandemic process.The research was carried out using phenomenology method, which is a qualitative research method. The study group of the research consists of twenty-five pre-service teachers. While determining the study group, easily accessible sampling method was used. In the research, a questionnaire containing four open questions developed by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it was determined that the pandemic positively affected some values such as altruism, benevolence, solidarity, gratitude, resignation, cleanliness, giving importance to being healthy, and negatively affected some values such as hospitality, freedom, equality, kindness, perseverance, and aesthetics. On the other hand, it is seen that some values such as patience, solidarity, savings and being scientific take their place among the values that both erode and gain from due to the differences in the perspective of pre-service teachers towards life. In addition, it was concluded that the pre-service teachers have a concern that the eroded values will force humanity to face problems such as various health problems, an asocial life, emotional deprivation, depression, digital addiction, selfishness, unemployment, anxiety, and impoliteness in the future.

Authors: Rodrigues Dantas Juliana
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate issues related to body image (concern, dissatisfaction, distortion) and risk behavior for eating disorders in individuals self-designated transsexual in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Each participant filled out a questionnaire containing open and closed questions about the socioeconomic, demographic, health and lifestyle. Anthropometric measurements were also collected following the protocol of the Ministry of Health. Then, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Adonis Complex Questionnaire (QCA), the Figure of Silhouettes Scale (EFS) and the Body Shape Questionaire (BSQ) were applied. The results revealed that most of the participants demonstrated concern with body image (80%) and presented body image distortion (91%), dissatisfaction with their body image (81,9%) and desire to have a smaller body than the current one (77,8%). The risk for eating disorders was present in 27,3% of transsexuals. The high proportion of participants with body image problems and risk behaviors for eating disorders reinforces the need to seek strategies to improve the quality of life and health care of this specific population. This group requires special attention, once there is still little evidence on how to approach this population in clinical practice.

Authors: Virstiuk N.G. , Matkovska N.R. , Vatseba B.R.
Published: March 2023

The effect of rivaroxaban on hemostasis was investigated in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC) in combination with obesity and non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The study included 48 obese patients with ALC of class A (according to the Child-Pugh score) with NVAF, who were not previously treated with direct oral anticoagulants. There are 43 men and 5 women aged 35 to 64 years, mean age is (54.2±4.8) years. Depending on the treatment, patients were divided into two groups: group I included 22 patients who received oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban at a dose of 10 mg/day for 12 months, group II included 26 patients who received basic therapy without rivaroxaban for 12 months. Assessment of the patients’ condition was performed before treatment, 12, 24 and 48 weeks after treatment onset. The severity of LC was assessed according to the Child-Pugh and the MELD scores. Stratification of the risk of bleeding was performed according to the HAS-BLED score. It is shown, that in obese patients with ALC of class A according to the Child-Pugh score in the presence of NVAF, the use of rivaroxaban in combination therapy for 48 weeks contributed to the positive dynamics of hemostasis: decreased factor VIII activity, von Willebrand factor activity, reduced plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, D-dimer levels (p<0.05) and an increase in the activity of protein C (p<0.05), which was accompanied by a moderate decrease in the Child-Pugh and the MELD scores, and this was not observed in the comparison group. The use of rivaroxaban in this cohort of patients for 48 weeks did not increase the risk of major bleeding according to the clinical course and the HAS-BLED score. It is proved that the use of rivaroxaban in the complex treatment of patients with ALC of class A (according to the Child-Pugh score) in combination with obesity and NVAF, contributes to the positive dynamics of hemostasis with a reduced risk of hypercoagulation. Such therapy does not increase the risk of major bleeding at the stage of compensation of ALC in combination with obesity and NVAF.

Published: March 2023

Since the intensity of membrane-destructive phenomena largely depends on disorders of lipid metabolism, which occur in people even with a normal body mass index, for obese patients it is even more reasonable to use drugs that are able to regulate lipid metabolism in the early postoperative period. The effect of sodium succinate megluminate on the postoperative period was studied in 20 patients (7 men and 13 women) with a body mass index over 30 kg/m2 who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The age of the subjects ranged from 40 to 60 years, the body weight was from 95 to 103 kg. The patients were divided into two groups: I group consists of 10 patients who received meglumine sodium succinate in the postoperative period; II group consists of 10 patients who did not receive meglumine sodium succinate in the postoperative period. It has been shown that the use of the antioxidant meglumine sodium succinate in the treatment of patients (group I) with acute cholecystitis with obesity in the early postoperative period leads to positive clinical and laboratory dynamics (after the first dose of the drug), one of the indicators of which is a reduction in hospital stay by 2.29 bed-days. Against the background of the use of meglumine sodium succinate, the indicators of the antioxidant system increase almost several times, and the indicators of the peroxide chain reaction decrease already on the first day and have values close to normal. The use of the antioxidant meglumine sodium succinate in the complex treatment of obese patients who underwent cholecystectomy makes it possible to optimize the early postoperative period.

Published: March 2023

Several population studies showed an association between variation in pain sensitivity and genetic polymorphisms located in Prodynorphin (PDYN) and Kappa Opioid Receptor (OPRK1) human genes. We analysed polymorphisms of these two genes to characterise their variation in Argentinian populations, as well as to evaluate their association with acute pain sensitivity. We studied 11 genetic markers in individuals from four locations in Argentina (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, La Plata, Resistencia, and Misión Nueva Pompeya), calculated the population parameters, and evaluated the possible association among pain sensitivity, clinical, and genetic variables through a Generalised Estimating Equation model. High linkage disequilibrium was observed in the four populations for both genes, and significant differences were found among frequencies of Argentinian populations and those from other continents reported in the 1000 Genomes Project. Four PDYN gene polymorphisms from 3´ untranslated region and exon 4 showed association with acute pain sensitivity. One genotype of each of these polymorphisms was associated with a higher pain sensitivity, probably related with the activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. We found a strong association with acute pain for the following clinical variables: 1) time after surgery, 2) intravenous klosidol supplied every 8 h, and 3) type of incision. Our results highlight the importance of a regional study of genetic variants which influence pain sensitivity and analgesic response.

IMPACT OF GENETIC ANCESTRY ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF INTERFERON-λ4 RS12979860 POLYMORPHISM IN A GLOBAL POPULATION OF BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Authors: Mansilla F.C. , Avena S.A. , Dejean C.B. , Turco C.S. , Capozzo A.V.
Published: March 2023

Human interferon-λ4 is a cytokine involved in early stages of antiviral responses. Strikingly, some allelic variants with diminished antiviral activity reduce the susceptibility to viral infections, thus they would have suffered a positive selection pressure throughout the evolutionary history of the genus Homo. An intronic variant within the IFNλ4 locus (rs12979860, T˃C) emerged as one of the main gene determinants of the response to HCV and other viruses. The rs12979860-C allele has a differential frequency in African, European and Native American populations, though South American data are scarce. Here we characterize for the first time the distribution of rs12979860 genotypes in a sample of the global population of Buenos Aires, Argentina, assessing its association with European, Native American and African parental components. The rs12979860 genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP in DNA samples from donors of a blood banks of Buenos Aires (n=96), whose genetic individual ancestry (European, African or Native American) had been previously determined using molecular markers. The distribution of rs12979860-CC, CT and TT was 29.17%, 50.0% and 20.83%, respectively. A significant increase in the frequency of CC among donors with a strong European contribution and a greater impact of the Native American component among donors carrying the T allele were observed. Native American and European components were associated to the rs12979860 distribution in a sample of the global population of Buenos Aires, while no differences were directly attributable to the African ancestry. Considering interferon´s key role in antiviral responses, our results may contribute to both bioanthropological and immunogenetic studies associated with infectious diseases.

Published: March 2023

In the present work, the drape characteristics of second-hand textile fabrics were determined. The results can be used
to implement the concepts of the circular economy. Automated software tools have been adapted and researched to
apply the proposed methods and procedures for digital image analysis of used textile drape, which will be utilized to
describe their shapes and predict their characteristics, as well as their classification into groups and assessment of
classification accuracy in recognizing their elements. A radius-vector function was used to determine the main drape
characteristics, such as the number of peaks, their size, and their location. Analytical models have been created for
automated forecasting of the drape characteristics from used textiles, which can be applied to predict changes in these
characteristics. It obtained an accuracy of 68–92% in the prediction of the main drape characteristics of used textiles.
Due to changes in their main characteristics, the errors in classification and prediction increased by 10–15%. More
complex computational procedures have been implemented to obtain a higher predictive power for second-hand textile
fabrics. The results can be applied in the manufacture of new products such as curtains, tablecloths, napkins and fashion
accessories.

Published: March 2023

Developing the technology of estimating human body size from two-dimensional images is the key to realising more
digitalization and artificial intelligence in the textile and garment industry. Therefore, this paper is an in-depth study of
estimating body sizes from two-dimensional images in a self-collected database of human body samples. First, the
artificial thresholds in the Canny edge operator were replaced by adaptive thresholds. The improved Canny edge
operator was combined with mathematical morphology so that it could detect a clear and complete single human
contour. Then a joint point detection algorithm based on a convolution neural network and human proportion is
proposed. It can detect human feature points with different body proportions. Finally, front and side images and manual
body measurements of 122 males aged 18–22 years were collected as the human sample database, calculating the
length and fit of the girth size. Compared with manual body measurement data, the error of human length and girth size
parameters within the national standard range of –1.5 ~ 1.5 cm can reach 91% on average. This study provides an
accurate and convenient anthropometric method for digital garment engineering, which can be used for online shopping
and garment customization, and has a certain practical value.

O trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa   sobre as percepções da população em relação aos termos agroecologia e agrotóxicos. Os dados foram coletados em diferentes localidades do município de Salvador (BA), totalizando 1.730 entrevistas. Em torno de 90% dos entrevistados sabem o que é agrotóxico, e 93% tem conhecimento dos seus impactos sobre a saúde humana. Aproximadamente 51% dos entrevistados ouviram falar da agroecologia; porém, 62% não sabem do que se trata a agroecologia. Os resultados indicaram que a população entrevistada possui mais informações sobre agrotóxicos do que sobre agroecologia. Atribuímos esse resultado à falta de uma formação cidadã para as questões ambientais. Outro fato relevante são os impactos da televisão como uma das principais fontes de informação da população brasileira. Recomendamos políticas públicas de formação cidadã em agroecologia e seus benefícios à saúde e ao meio ambiente.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show the results of a survey which verified the perception of the population of Salvador regard to agroecology and pesticides. The data were collected using surveys. It was applied in different locations of Salvador, reaching 1.730 people. A round 90% of the interviewees knew what pesticides are and 93% are aware of its impacts on human health. Approximately 51 % of the interviewees heard about agroecology. However, 62 % do not know what it is. The results indicated that the interviewed population has more information on pesticides than on agroecology. We attributed this result to the lack of citizenship education for environmental issues.

Authors: Jesus Maria Antônia , Reis Letícia Caribé Batista
Published: March 2023

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o hábito de leitura e compreensão dos rótulos de produtos alimentícios pelos alunos dos Cursos Técnicos em Agroindústria e Agropecuária do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Baiano (IF Baiano), campus Serrinha – BA, no período de setembro a outubro de 2020. Para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho, foi aplicado um questionário eletrônico contendo questões como: hábito de leitura de rótulos, grau de entendimento dos rótulos, quais informações são lidas com mais frequência, quais informações da tabela nutricional são consideradas importantes, entre outras. De acordo com o resultado, 65% dos alunos responderam que possuíam o hábito de leitura dos rótulos, porém um percentual de 81,7% afirmou que a leitura dos rótulos era feita “às vezes”. O prazo de validade, seguido da tabela nutricional são os itens lidos com mais frequência. A maioria dos entrevistados respondeu que lê os rótulos com o objetivo de buscar uma alimentação saudável e um percentual elevado (83,3%) informou que o rótulo influencia na aquisição de produtos. Diante do exposto, conclui-se que mesmo boa parte dos entrevistados terem declarado que possuem o hábito de leitura ainda é necessário esforços dos órgãos governamentais em programas educativos visando a conscientização dos consumidores em relação a importância das informações nos rótulos.
 
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the habit of reading and understanding the labels of food products of students in the Agroindustry and Agriculture courses at IFBAIANO, Serrinha campus in the period from September to October 2020. For the development of this work, an electronic questionnaire was applied containing questions such as: habit of reading labels, degree of understanding of labels, which information is read more frequently, which information is considered important in the nutritional table, among others. According to the result, 65% of the students answered that they had the habit of reading the labels but a percentage of 81.7% stated that the reading of labels was done "sometimes". The expiration date, followed by the nutritional table are the most frequently read items. Most of the interviewees replied that they read the labels in order to seek a healthy diet and a high percentage (83.3%) reported that the label influences the purchase of products. Given the above, it is concluded that even a good part of the interviewees declared that they have the habit of reading, it is still necessary efforts of government agencies in educational programs aimed at raising consumers' awareness regarding the importance of information on labels.

Authors: Silva Clécio Danilo Dias da , Silva Lucas Mateus Costa , Cavalcante Brayan Paiva , Santos Daniele Bezerra dos
Published: March 2023

Apesar do tema domínios Brasileiros está inserido como temática geradora nos componentes curriculares de Ciências e Geografia. Sabe-se que os conhecimentos adquiridos por parte dos estudantes referente a Caatinga são considerados supercificais, visto que muitas vezes, este assunto é abordado de forma vaga, havendo uma preferência para os ambientes de mata verde, acarretando uma ausência de conhecimento sobre a sua complexidade e importância. Nesse sentido,  o presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar e analisar as concepções alternativas de estudantes do Ensino Fundamental sobre as características do domínio Caatinga e sua biodiversidade. A pesquisa foi realizada com 93 alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola privada, localizada em Natal, RN. Para a coleta dos dados, utilizou-se um questionário com 06 perguntas abertas e fechadas. Durante a análise dos resultados foi percebido que os alunos apresentaram diversas concepções alternativas, no que diz respeito a biodiversidade, delimitação e problemas socioambientais na Caatinga. Dessa forma, recomenda-se o uso de estratégias didáticas diversificadas por parte dos docentes para trabalhar esta temática em sala de aula, buscando despertar interesse dos alunos em conhecer o ambiente em que estão inseridos e assim sensibiliza-los para a conservação do domínio Caatinga.
Abstract:
Despite the theme Brazilian domains is inserted as a generative theme in the curricular components of Science and Geography. It is known that the knowledge acquired by students regarding the Caatinga is considered supercific, since this subject is often approached in a vague way, with a preference for green forest environments, resulting in a lack of knowledge about its complexity. and importance. In this sense, this study aimed to identify and analyze the alternative conceptions of elementary school students about the characteristics of the Caatinga domain and its biodiversity. The research was carried out with 93 students from the 6th year of elementary school at a private school, located in Natal, RN. For data collection, a questionnaire with 06 open and closed questions was used. During the analysis of the results, it was noticed that the students presented several alternative conceptions, with regard to biodiversity, delimitation and socio-environmental problems in the Caatinga. Thus, it is recommended that teachers use diversified didactic strategies to work on this theme in the classroom, seeking to awaken students' interest in knowing the environment in which they live and thus sensitize them to the conservation of the Caatinga domain.

As (im)pertinências da noção de agricultura de subsistência
Authors: Da Costa Davi Silva , Queiroz Eliane Silva de , Lima Rosimere Silva Santos
Published: March 2023

No presente artigo discutimos sobre as (im)pertinências da noção de uma agricultura de subsistência, na perspectiva de uma visão que extrapola a ideia de autoconsumo como sendo o pilar do pequeno agricultor, considerando a ideia de livelihood que remete à sobrevivência, ao invés de subsistência, que está ligada à noção de “sub-existir”. Para isso, abrimos um diálogo com alguns(as) autores(as) que versam sobre o tema, que tecem considerações a respeito da agricultura familiar camponesa e suas questões. Este debate se insere nos apontamentos em que a resistência como propulsora de ações que fortalecem o papel da agricultura familiar camponesa e sua atuação frente à crise que o setor agrícola vem passando, no sentido da qualidade (aqui entram os debates da segurança alimentar, agroecologia e circuitos curtos de comercialização) e da quantidade (no sentido da expansão de áreas agricultáveis, produção de commodities, fome e desnutrição, para citar alguns exemplos) . Além disso, a agricultura camponesa se destaca ao utilizar-se do capital ecológico e do sistema de coprodução, agregando valor aos recursos naturais disponíveis, contrariando o pensamento da agricultura empresarial e de produção capitalista, que transforma tudo em mercadoria visando o lucro, sem considerar as consequências negativas que isso venha a causar à natureza.
ABSTRACT
In this article we discuss the (im)pertinence of the notion of subsistence agriculture, from the perspective of a vision that goes beyond the idea of self-consumption as the pillar of the small farmer, considering the idea of livelihood that refers to survival, rather than subsistence, which is linked to the notion of “sub-existing”. For this, we opened a dialogue with some authors that deal with the subject, who weave considerations about peasant family agriculture and its issues, pointing out resistance as a propeller of actions that strengthen its role and its performance in the face of the crisis that the agricultural sector has been changing in terms of quality (this is where the debates on food security, agroecology and short marketing circuits come in) and quantity (in the sense of the expansion of arable areas, production of commodities, hunger and malnutrition, to name a few examples) . In addition, peasant agriculture stands out by using ecological capital and the co-production system, adding value to available natural resources, contrary to the thinking of business agriculture and capitalist production, which transforms everything into a commodity for profit, without considering the negative consequences that this may cause to nature.
