Authors: Silva Cristiane Jussara da , Carvalho Helotonio , Aquino Kátia Aparecida da Silva
Published: October 2021

A poluição litorânea está na lista dos graves problemas ambientais que prejudicam a sociedade e a manutenção dos ecossistemas. Considerando esse cenário e a complexidade que envolve os problemas ambientais é importante que as escolas, não mais de forma ingênua, realizem ações que conversem com os diversos saberes curriculares com uso de ferramentas e estratégias de ensino que sejam potencialmente significativas. Nesse contexto, foi desenvolvida uma Unidade de Ensino Potencialmente Significativa (UEPS) acerca da temática “Água e Poluição na Educação Básica”. A UEPS foi idealizada utilizando uma sequência de ações de ensino de modo interdisciplinar utilizando uma variedade de estratégias e ferramentas e com a avaliação pautada na produção de mapas conceituais, tendo sido aplicada a estudantes do ensino médio de uma escola da rede estadual de Pernambuco. Durante as estratégias didáticas utilizadas foram encontradas evidências de que novos conceitos se ancoraram aos conhecimentos prévios dos estudantes, sendo indício de uma aprendizagem significativa em curso. A aplicação das diversas etapas da UEPS contribuiu para a formação de estudantes que passaram a ser protagonistas juvenis, com a possibilidade de entenderem a complexidade da problemática da poluição litorânea, além de desenvolverem responsabilidade ambiental, social e política.

Published: October 2021

Na disciplina de máquinas elétricas, ofertada em cursos técnicos e cursos de engenharia voltados à área elétrica, estuda-se um dos principais componentes utilizados em sistemas de geração de energia elétrica: a máquina síncrona. A compreensão do funcionamento dessa máquina requer um conhecimento prévio de disciplinas como física e matemática. Física para o estudo do momento de inércia, coeficiente de atrito, interação entre campos magnéticos, e matemática para a compreensão das equações utilizadas na construção dos modelos. Logo, este tema, além de ser muito importante para compreensão dos sistemas elétricos, envolve a aplicação de conhecimentos adquiridos em diversas disciplinas dos respectivos cursos. Para a realização das aulas, algumas atividades podem ser desenvolvidas em laboratório, porém, há alguns parâmetros nessas máquinas que são inacessíveis por meio de experimentação prática e precisam ser analisados via simulação computacional. Entre os possíveis softwares para realização dessas simulações está o MATLAB/SIMULINK. Em uma proposta realizada com alunos do curso Técnico Subsequente em Eletromecânica desenvolveu-se o presente trabalho, que reúne os principais modelos matemáticos de máquinas síncronas e descreve a sua implementação em MATLAB/SIMULINK. A atividade proposta permitiu aos alunos uma melhor compreensão do princípio de funcionamento dessas máquinas.
Novas perspectivas historiográficas para história de ciências no ensino: discutindo possibilidades para uma educação em ciências mais política
Authors: Guerra Andreia
Published: October 2021

Pesquisas no campo da educação em ciências indicam que abordagens históricas em sala de aula são promissoras para um ensino sobre a ciência. Apesar da abrangência dessas pesquisas, o fato delas estarem situadas na fronteira entre a educação em ciências e a História da Ciência faz com que as problemáticas tensionadas por esses dois campos tragam novas considerações, ampliando os olhares e as perspectivas para as abordagens históricas. Nesse artigo, que se constitui num ensaio, pressupondo que justiça social é uma perspectiva importante para a educação em ciências, discutiremos possibilidades para o ensino sobre ciência trazidas por novas perspectivas historiográficas para a História da Ciência. Para tal, apresentaremos brevemente caminhos seguidos pela História da Ciência que levaram a perspectivas historiográficas atuais e a que questões elas se dedicam. Concluímos o ensaio argumentando como esse caminhar aponta possibilidades de discussões em aulas de ciências sobre as relações de poder no processo de formação da ciência e para o caráter dinâmico dessas relações.
O ensino de História e Filosofia da Termodinâmica como meio para o pensamento complexo
Authors: Trivizol Louise , De M. Figueirôa Silvia F.
Published: October 2021

Esse trabalho apresenta tópicos de natureza das ciências e da história e filosofia da Termodinâmica que consideramos úteis ao ensino, tanto para a educação básica quanto para a formação de professores. Para a apresentação dos tópicos, tomamos como categoria de análise afirmações de Natureza das Ciências (NdC). Nossa concepção de ensino prioriza a transdisciplinaridade e a abordagem de temas afeitos a demandas contemporâneas, como a mudança climática, por exemplo, visando os objetivos expressos pela Alfabetização Científica (AC). O maior desses objetivos sendo a capacitação para tomada de decisões cientificamente informadas para melhor participação cidadã. Justificamos a utilização de temas de NdC pela possibilidade que oferecem de pensar ações pedagógicas alinhadas a concepções contemporâneas em filosofia das ciências, bem como com a historiografia das ciências. A presente pesquisa se insere na necessidade de forçar – procurando romper – pontos frágeis de velhos paradigmas que ainda permeiam e, silenciosamente, conduzem nossa visão de mundo. E que, muitas vezes, negam o benefício de uma atitude crítica e integrativa, informada sobre os meandros e a complexidade da ação humana no mundo, sobretudo a científica. A pesquisa conta com o aporte epistemológico de Ludwik Fleck e busca relações entre a teoria Termodinâmica e o pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin. Tais aproximações podem ser frutíferas aos objetivos da AC, tendo em vista as emergências planetárias que pedem posturas propositivas frente à incerteza do futuro.
Histórias plurais para a construção de um mundo comum: como História, Filosofia e Sociologia das Ciências na Educação em Ciências podem contribuir para construção do mundo Pós-Pandemia
Authors: Lima Nathan W.
Published: October 2021

Vivemos um mundo de profunda hibridização entre natureza e sociedade. Por um lado, a ação humana afetou e afeta diretamente a constituição do próprio planeta, ensejando, para alguns, o início de um novo tempo, o Antropoceno. Por outro lado, agentes não-humanos, como vírus, impactam eleições, a economia e a forma como as pessoas vivem. Tais interrelações motivam a proposição de uma cosmopolítica. É por meio da cosmopolítica que podemos, coletivamente, construir um mundo comum, mais justo e viável para todos. Tal processo, entretanto, é extremamente complexo e demanda conhecimentos e práticas de diferentes campos de atuação humana. O primeiro objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a noção de que a inserção de História, Filosofia e Sociologia (HFS) das Ciências na Educação em Ciências pode ser uma forma potente de educação para a construção do mundo comum mais justo. O segundo objetivo é propor a interpretação de que diferentes tendências historiográficas, filosóficas e sociológicas – usualmente vistas como concorrentes ou excludentes – podem ser interpretadas como complementares no espaço pedagógico, de forma que a pluralidade teórica é um caminho necessário para o mundo comum.
Considerações metodológicas sobre o uso de fontes primárias no ensino de Física
Authors: Karam Ricardo
Published: October 2021

Há mais de cem anos ensinamos e aprendemos física por meio de livros didáticos. Para membros externos a essa comunidade, pode parecer estranho termos que aprender sobre "leis de Newton”, "equações de Maxwell” ou “teorema de Noether", sem consultarmos as obras escritas por esses autores. Neste trabalho apresento dois episódios que ilustram o uso de fontes originais no ensino de mecânica e termodinâmica. O objetivo dos episódios é tentar extrair aspectos metodológicos gerais que conduzam a um uso produtivo de fontes primárias no ensino de física.

OBJECTIVE: To analysis the efficacy of 0.2% GTN in patients undergoing fistulectomy for fistula in ano low variety in terms of early wound healing. METHODOLOGY: A randomized controlled trail was conducted at general surgery department of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad from February 2013 to August 2013 among patients with low anal fistula. All participants underwent fistulectomy by a consultant general surgeon. Patients were divided into two groups using lottery methods. Group A treat fistula in ano with 0.2% glyceryl trinitrate ointment and group B treat fistula in ano without 0.2% glyceryl trinitrate ointment and wounds covered with pyodine soaked dressings. All patients were discharged on second postoperative day. Wound healing was assessed weekly for six weeks. Parameters of incomplete wound healing such as discharge, perineal irritation and pain were noted. Presence of granulation tissue at the end of 6 weeks was considered as sign of healing. Data was collected via study proforma. RESULTS: This study was conducted on 94 patients in Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad. In GTN group 35(74.46%) were male while in Control group 38(80.85%) were male. In GTN group mostly observed single opening 37(78.72%) cases while in control group 35(74.46%) cases. The healing time in GTN Group was found to be between 21-36 days (mean 26.38 days), while the healing time control group was 32-46 days with a mean of 38.64 days (P. value <0.001). The complications were also found significantly higher in the control group CONCLUSION: In conclusion our study revealed that postoperative 0.2% GTN after fistulectomy can be used as a primary treatment of low fistula in ano as a shorter period of time for wound to early heal and the less incidence of complications is comparable to that of control group. Key words: fistula in ano, 0.2% GTN, Effectiveness

Published: October 2021

Sanayi devrimiyle birlikte başlayan ve hızı artarak devam eden teknolojik gelişmeler, bilgi üretimi, bilginin yaygınlaşması, kültür üretimi, üretilen bu yeni kültürlerin küresel ölçekte etki alanı oluşturması, sanayi ve üretim sisteminde farklılaşma yaşanması gibi hayatın her alanında etkili olmuştur. İçinde bulunduğumuz bu çağ, dijitalleşme çağı olarak nitelenmektedir. Nesnelerin interneti, yapay zekâ, veri madenciliği, artırılmış gerçeklik gibi kavramlar dijital çağın ürünleri olarak ortaya çıkmış; dijitalleşen dünyada gücü elde etmek veri üretimi ve üretilen verilere sahip olmakla eşdeğer kabul edildiği için devletlerin ve özel şirketlerin gündemini oldukça meşgul eden birer rekabet alanına dönüşmüştür. Dijitalleşme ekseninde yaşanan toplumsal değişim, ekonomik, politik, kültürel ve dinsel alanlar başta olmak üzere toplumsal sistemin bütününde yeni bir dönemin başlangıcına zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu değişimler, hem kolektif düşünce ve yaşam pratiklerinde hem de bireysel alanda yeni yaşam dinamikleri geliştirilmesi noktasında etkili olmuştur. Literatür taraması yöntemiyle hazırlanan bu çalışmada da dijital çağın ürünlerinin dinin anlaşılma biçimleri ve gerek bireysel gerekse toplumsal alanda dini yaşam pratikleri üzerindeki etkisinin ne olduğu ve ne gibi değişimleri beraberinde getirdiği sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Dijital din, siber din, online religion gibi ifadeler çerçevesinde dijital çağda din ve dini yaşam konusuna ilişkin mevcut durum analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın dijitalleşmeyle birlikte karşımıza çıkan büyük veri, infobezite, medya vaizliği gibi kavramları din ile ilişkileri bağlamında değerlendirmesiyle alana katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışma, dijitalleşme ve dini yaşam konusunu sanayi devrimi ve küreselleşme kavramları ile ilişkilendirerek ele alması bakımından da önem taşımaktadır.
Relations and Panpsychism
Authors: Rovelli C.
Published: October 2021

Twentieth-century physics has revealed a pervasive relational aspect of the physical world. This fact is relevant in view of some of the motivations for panpsychism. In fact, it may be seen as a vindication of the panpsychist idea of a monist continuity where some aspects of consciousness's
perspectivalism are universal. On the other hand, this same fact may undermine some of the motivations for more marked forms of panpsychism.
Dr Goff, Tear Down This Wall! The Interface Theory of Perception and the Science of ConscDr Goff, Tear Down This Wall! The Interface Theory of Perception and the Science of Consciousnessiousness
Authors: Prentner R.
Published: October 2021

Here I outline an alternative to panpsychism, premised on the interface theory of perception, that too subscribes to a 'post- Galilean' research programme. However, interface theorists disagree along several lines. (1) They note that Galileo's distinction should be replaced
by a truly non-dual account, referring to a difference of degree only. (2) They highly appreciate the role of mathematics, in particular when it comes to actually engaging scientifically with consciousness. Some notable features of the interface theory are its scepticism towards our epistemic
capacities and its rejection of the existence of a public, physical reality. In addition, some interface theorists further employ a thin concept of 'conscious agency' to ground their theory. The interface theory leaves open many of the problems of consciousness science (e.g. what
is a 'self'?) as questions for further (scientific, mathematical) research.
Grounding the Qualitative: A New Challenge for Panpsychism
Authors: moran A.
Published: October 2021

This paper presents a novel challenge for the panpsychist solution to the problem of consciousness. It advances three main claims. First, that the problem of consciousness is really an instance of a more general problem: that of grounding the qualitative. Second, that we should want
a general solution to this problem. Third, that panpsychism cannot provide it. I also suggest two further things: (1) that alternative kinds of Russellian monism may avoid the problem in ways panpsychists cannot, and (2) that a kind of neo-Aristotelian or ground-theoretical physicalism fares
just as well here if not better.
Why a Panpsychist Should Adopt Theism: God, Galileo, and Goff
Authors: Leidenhag J.
Published: October 2021

This paper argues that there is a deep level of agreement between panpsychism and theism. Goff's Galileo's Error would have been even more compelling than it already is if Goff had portrayed a panpsychist cosmos as the world created by God, not as a spiritual alternative to
theism. First, I critique Goff's assumption of incompatibilism, with regards the relationship between science and religion, and argue that panpsychism provides unique resources for articulating divine action. Second, I argue that most panpsychists endorse either the 'principle of
sufficient reason' or a 'causal principle' in their rejection of emergence theory, and that if either of these principles are applied to the universe as a whole this would imply a further endorsement of the cosmological argument for the existence of God.
Virtual Dissection Table: A Supplemental Learning Aid for a Physical Therapy Anatomy Course
Authors: ROSARIO Martin G
Published: October 2021

While cadaver dissection and prosection are deemed quintessential methods for studying anatomy, these methods are attenuated by the flat, 2-D structures incorporated into didactic segments of the anatomy courses that minimize students’ ability to comprehend anatomy, leading to constraints in the teaching and learning experience. Several tools, such as 3-D virtual anatomy apps and anatomical models, enhance teaching and students’ understanding of gross human anatomy. The Anatomage, a virtual anatomy dissection table (VDT), is a compelling technological development with dissection capabilities and a prosection of the human body and its segments. This study intends to explore incorporating a VDT into a physical therapy anatomy course as an enhanced anatomical learning technique. The methods encompass the inclusion of the VDT as an extra dissection table within the cadaver lab setting. Each group of scholars was required to locate the anatomical configurations and dissections assigned to the topic on the VDT. The anatomy course included four examinations covering the entire human body. The results suggest advancements in knowledge retention following the incorporation of VDT in the cadaver dissection portion of the course. Therefore, we ascertained that the VDT is an exemplary tool to adopt in anatomy courses to aid in the comprehension of complex anatomical structures. Integrating VDT is paramount to the assimilation and application of human anatomy in students’ future health careers.
Digital religious celebrations during and after the Covid-19. Limits and opportunities for regulation
Authors: Palumbo Paolo
Published: October 2021

SOMMARIO: 1. The pandemic and the damage occurred to the right of community religious freedom - 2. A survey on the exercise of the worship during lockdown - 3. Digital celebrations: is there a legal regulation?

ABSTRACT: During the first phases of the pandemic until today, many religious activities, especially liturgical celebrations, have been suspended and reorganised. Drastic measures and choices were necessary, always in balance with constitutional principles. In this social and historical context, digital platforms seem to have turned into liturgical spaces. The contribution aims to highlight the problems and opportunities that have arisen and to present the practices used within confessional systems, particularly the Catholic one. Also in relation to a research on the subject, promoted by the Giustino Fortunato University, reflections are offered that may favour a better relationship between the needs of worship and liturgical and confessional law in the field of sacraments and celebrations.

Chronic cough is a common medical condition that has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Although it was previously considered a symptom of other disorders, it is now regarded as a pathologic state that is characterized by a deviation from the intrinsic protective functions of the cough reflex, especially in adults. There are several factors that may underlie the cough reflex hypersensitivity and its persistence, such as age, sex, comorbidities, viral infection, exposure to irritants or environmental pollutants, and their interactions may determine the epidemiology of chronic cough in different countries. With a deeper understanding of disease pathophysiology and advanced research methodology, there are more attempts to investigate cough epidemiology using a large cohort of healthcare population data. This is a narrative overview of recent findings on the disease burden, risk factors, Asia-Pacific issues, and longitudinal outcomes in adults with chronic cough. This paper also discusses the approaches utilizing routinely collected data in cough research.

Published: October 2021

A 29-year-old woman with known sickle cell disease (SCD) and iatrogenic iron overload presented to the emergency department with a recurrent pain crisis and fever. Blood cultures obtained at a recent prior admission for the same complaints grew M avium. Bone marrow biopsy revealed non-caseating granulomas, but stains for mycobacteria and fungi were negative. Disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections (NTMIs) occur almost exclusively in immunosuppressed patients. SCD is not considered a risk factor for the development of disseminated NTMIs, making diagnosis challenging in this population. However, a number of case reports describing disseminated NTMIs in patients with SCD have been published. This case adds to the current literature, suggesting SCD with iatrogenic iron overload is a possible risk factor for disseminated NTMIs. Potential mechanisms for this increased risk include 1) functional asplenia, 2) iatrogenic iron overload, 3) chronic indwelling central venous catheters, and 4) hydroxyurea use. Further investigation is required to describe the strength and mechanism of the relationship between SCD and disseminated NTMIs.
A Study on the Construction of Americanism in Mark Twain’s Works
Authors: Yan Liu
Published: October 2021

American Writer Mark Twain in his works vividly records social changes caused by the industrialization in the 19th century. His writing could be regarded as a kind of construction of Americanism. He insists on advocating of Puritanism, using the American dialect to tell American stories, displaying the culture in American West and South. He employs humor and irony to combine American history with reality, getting rid of influences of the British literature to illustrate Americanism and the historical process of America.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Patients’ satisfaction with the care provided by student nurses indicates that students are able to meet the patients' needs, which could also be an indicator of the quality of nursing education received by students and quality of care offered by future nurses. Quality of care influences patient satisfaction and also boost the morale of the care givers.Methods: This was a descriptive quantitative cross sectional study done on 100 randomly selected patients from four admission wards at Ndola Teaching Hospital. The data was collected using a validated semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25. A p-value of ≤ .05 was considered statistically significant using Chi square test.Results: The results showed that patients (79%) were dissatisfied with the nursing care provided by student nurses. The cause of dissatisfaction was low quality of care received (48%), lack of student supervision (60%), poor student patient interactions (68%) and level of training (75%). Patient satisfaction had a significant association with availability of supervisors (p = .010), level of training (p = .002), number of students per ward (p = .011) and student interactions (p = .001).Conclusions: Patients are not satisfied with the care provided by student nurses due to poor quality of care provided as students are not guided, and overcrowding in the wards making patients uncomfortable being exposed to a lot of unqualified staff, These findings will help educators to identify areas of improvement in student clinical learning to enhance quality care. Therefore it is recommended that training institutions should strengthen clinical supervision of student nurses by faculty members and senior nurses to enhance the quality of care.

Introduction:

Patient-specific factors may influence posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development and warrant further examination. This study investigates potential association between patient-reported fear of death at the time of injury and development of PTSD.

Methods:

Over 35 months, 250 patients were screened for PTSD at their first posthospitalization clinic visit and were asked “Did you think you were going to die from this injury?” (yes or no). PTSD screening was conducted using the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 questionnaire. A score ≥33 was considered positive for PTSD, and patients were offered ancillary psychiatric services. Retrospectively, medical records were reviewed for baseline demographics and injury information.

Results:

Forty-three patients (17%) indicated a fear of death. The mean age was 46 years, with patients who feared death being younger (36 versus 48, P < 0.001), and 62% were male. The most common mechanisms of injury were motor vehicle or motorcycle collisions (30%) and ground-level falls (21%). Gunshot wounds were more common among patients who feared death from trauma (44% versus 7%, P < 0.001). PTSD questionnaires were completed a median of 26 days after injury, with an average score of 12.6. PTSD scores were higher for patients with fear of death (32.7 versus 8.5), and these patients required more acute interventions (47% versus 7%), both P < 0.001. After multivariable logistic regression, patients who thought that they would die from their trauma had >13 times higher odds of developing PTSD (odds ratios: 13.42, P < 0.0001). Apart from positive psychiatric history (OR: 5.46, P = 0.001), no factors (ie, age, sex, mechanism, or any injury or treatment characteristic) were predictive of positive PTSD scores on regression.

Dicussion:

Patients who reported fear of death at the time of injury were 13 times more likely to develop PTSD. Simply asking patients whether they thought that they would die at the time of injury may prospectively identify PTSD risk.

Cannabis Vaping – What Teens, Their Parents and Their Naturopathic Doctors Need to Know
Authors: Spooner Chris
Published: October 2021

Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug globally, and Canada has among the highest use rates.1 In 2014, 10% to 15% of general-population adults and 25% to 30% of adolescents or young adults report current (i.e., past-year) cannabis use.2 Arguably, the legalization of cannabis in Canada can be regarded as one of the most significant public health policy changes in the last 50 years. The stated aim of legalization of cannabis was to protect youth and eliminate the criminal element from the cannabis industry, and it has been challenging, as the government attempts to navigate the creation a new industry that can compete with the well-established illicit market.
Self-Reported Disability Competency in Naturopathic Medical Students
Authors: Hourston Sarah , Hanes Doug , Zwickey Heather
Published: October 2021

Healthcare providers often feel unprepared to work with patients with disabilities. There have been no assessments or tools developed to evaluate whether naturopathic medical (ND) students also feel adequately prepared to work with patients with disabilities. We created a survey to assess student comfort levels, competency, and training needs. Surveys were completed by 218 ND students. Cronbach’s alpha for all composite scores were >0.90, suggesting that the surveys have internal consistency. Student comfort working with patients with disabilities significantly increased by program year (p=0.02). Competency scores increased by program year, but this increase was not significant (p=0.17). Over 70% of students indicated that they would like more training on this topic. We were able to assess ND student self-reported comfort, competency, and desire for training with regard to treatment of patients with disabilities. Additional work should be performed to improve disability education for ND students.
