A oralidade nas aulas de língua portuguesa do ensino médio no semiárido nordestino: uma análise sobre as práticas docentes
Authors:   , Santos Rosângela Ívina Araújo dos
Published: February 2025

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar o ensino da oralidade nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Médio no semiárido nordestino, considerando o conhecimento que os docentes receberam em sua formação inicial e as práticas de ensino desenvolvidas no exercício de sua profissão. Por isso, temos o ensino da oralidade como objeto de pesquisa. No que diz respeito à nossa base teórica, nos fundamentamos na concepção de língua segundo Volóchinov (2012), junto a isso traçamos nossas discussões sobre a oralidade, os gêneros orais e questões pertinentes ao ensino da modalidade oral da língua a partir da Linguística de texto, na Análise da Conversa e da Multimodalidade, com autores como Marcuschi e Dionisio (2007), Magalhães (2008); (2018), Dolz e Schneuwly (2004), Forte-Ferreira (2014), Goodwin (2007), Mondada (2018). Nossa pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa (MINAYO, 2001) e se configura como um estudo de campo de cunho exploratório (LAKATOS; MARCONI, 2003). Para alcançar o nosso objetivo, realizamos a aplicação de um questionário online com um grupo de 12 (doze) professores e realizamos a análise das respostas obtidas, com base na análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 1977), levando em conta aspectos de sua formação inicial e quais as práticas que eles desenvolvem para o ensino da oralidade em sala de aula. Reforçamos ainda que, no que se refere aos aspectos éticos da pesquisa, submetemos nosso projeto ao Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa e tivemos a aprovação pelo parecer nº 4.253.872. Após o nosso processo analítico, percebemos que ainda há uma ausência de um trabalho efetivo com a oralidade na formação inicial dos docentes e isso acarreta uma falta de compreensão da oralidade como objeto de ensino por parte dos professores, de modo que a oralidade é compreendida e abordada em sala a partir de um lugar intuitivo e não de um amparo teórico e metodológico no tocante à oralidade enquanto objeto de ensino

Authors: Fitriyah Vebriyanti , Rachmawati Rina , Widjayanti Tita
Published: February 2025

The tomato plant (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) is one of the horticultural crops that is frequently cultivated and consumed due to its considerable nutritional value, including vitamins A and C. In the cultivation process, farmers often face problems caused by plant pests, one of which is Thrips (Thrips palmi Karny). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of insecticides containing the active ingredients spirotetramat + abamectin at several concentrations against T. palmi. Research activities were conducted in Pujon District, Malang Regency, and Junrejo District, Batu City, East Java, from April to June 2023. The research used a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 5 treatments: spirotetramat + abamectin 1.00 ml/l; 0.75 ml/l; 0.50 ml/l; 0.25 ml/l; and a control. The results showed that the use of spirotetramat + abamectin insecticides at different concentrations affected the average T. palmi population level and yield in tomato plants. Treatment with a concentration of 1.00 ml/l was the most effective, achieving an efficacy index (EI) value of more than 70%.
Embracing Digital Health: Factors Influencing Electronic Medical Records Adoption Among Healthcare Workers in Northwest Ethiopia (Preprint)
Authors: Tsehay Asmamaw , Matlhaba Kholofelo Lorraine
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Although Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) play a vital role in strengthening the healthcare system by improving efficiency, data management, and patient care, their development in Ethiopia is still in its early stages. This slow progress is attributed to multiple challenges, including limited digital literacy and resistance to change among healthcare workers, alongside organisational factors.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to determine the level of acceptance of the Electronic Medical Records system and describe contributing factors.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted at Healthcare Facilities in Bahir City, Northwestern Ethiopia. The study units were health workers in five health facilities that have implemented the Electronic Medical Record system were included in the study. The data entry and analysis were done with SPSS software. Descriptive statistics and Bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression were done to determine factors associated with EMRs acceptance. x

RESULTS

Out of the 322 respondents, 256 (73%), with a 95% confidence interval of 67.4% to 78.2%, showed a good acceptance towards using electronic medical records (EMRs). Years of work experience, satisfaction with monthly income, owning a personal computer, attending EMR training sessions, finishing the foundational training on using an electronic health management information system, and system usability were all significant predictors of EMR acceptance, with a p-value of 0.05.

CONCLUSIONS

Healthcare workers showed moderately positive acceptance of EMRs (4.87/7), valuing their usefulness (PU) over ease of use (PEOU) but lacking confidence in mastering the system. Key factors influencing acceptance included job experience, salary satisfaction, computer ownership, and training. Professionals with over ten years of experience were 14 times more likely to accept EMRs, while computer owners were 11 times more likely. EMR training increased acceptance fourfold, and DHIS2/eHMIS training tripled the likelihood of strong acceptance.
Virtual Reality for analgesia during intrauterine device insertion: A randomised controlled trial (Preprint)
Authors: Higgins Chloe , Zecena Morales Claudia , Hocking Judith , Tyson Kate , Leung Cheryl , Larmour Luke , Leong Paul , Vollenhoven Beverley
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Intrauterine devices (IUD) are safe and effective contraceptive therapies which are also used for treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia and early-stage endometrial cancer. Barriers to insertion of IUDs in the outpatient setting are predominantly due to patient discomfort and there is little consensus on effective analgesic strategies to address this. Virtual reality (VR) has demonstrated moderate benefits in acute pain management and has been explored for similar gynaecological procedures including outpatient hysteroscopy with some promising results.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the effectiveness of VR at improving patient pain and anxiety during outpatient IUD insertion.

METHODS

This randomised control trial compared the use of a VR headset to standard care during IUD insertion in the outpatient clinic setting. Outcomes measured were patient reported pain and anxiety. Secondary outcomes included clinician reported ease of insertion and time required to complete the procedure.

RESULTS

A total of 70 patients were recruited with 34 randomised to the control and 36 randomised to VR headset use. Patients with VR headsets reported a pain score of 5.5 +/- 3.2 during IUD insertion, which was not significantly different to 4.3 +/- 3.2 for the control group. Anxiety scores during the procedure were 4.0 +/- 3.0 in the VR group, compared to 4.8 +/- 3.5 in the control group, which was also not significantly different. Anxiety was the most significant predictor of pain and this in turn significantly increased insertion time (p <0.001). Of the patients who did respond and benefit from VR use, their baseline anxiety was significantly less than in those who did not (p <0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The use of VR headsets did not significantly alter the pain or anxiety experienced by patients during IUD insertion, however satisfaction and recommendation that others use VR was high which may suggest other benefits to their use. Additionally, pre-procedural anxiety appears to have a significant adverse impact on pain scores and the ability of patients to benefit from the VR headsets. This importantly contributes to the previously ambiguous data regarding VR use for gynaecological procedures and highlights a new important avenue for further research into alleviating anxiety prior to procedures to improve pain and patient experience.

Authors: Umam Moh Khotibul , Setiawan Agus , Permatasari Henny , Mansyur Muchtaruddin
Published: February 2025

UNSTRUCTURED

HIV/AIDS is an epidemic in 190 countries, with Indonesia having more than half a million people living with the virus. Risk factors include risky sexual activity and alternating needle usage. The majority of cases are young adults (18-30 yeard old). Effective prevention involves avoiding sex and adopting healthier lifestyles. The Indonesian National HIV/AIDS strategy aims to reduce new cases to less than a thousand per year. This research aims to explore young adults’ needs, perceptions, and cultural aspects of HIV/AIDS prevention, develop the intervention model, analyze its effectiveness, and examine its effect on HIV prevention behavior. We will conduct the study in three phases: qualitative research, model development, and quantitative research. In the first phase, we will use descriptive phenomenology and forum group discussion (FGD) to collect data from young adults and stakeholders in Batang and Pekalongan regencies. The second phase will develop a motivation model for HIV/AIDS prevention using culture-based communication (MK-U) through website media. We will design the model in consultation with an IT team and experts to ensure its suitability. The third phase will involve a pre-post-test with a control group quasi-experiment involving young adults aged 20–30 in Batang and Pekalongan districts. The intervention group will receive culture-based motivational interviewing, while the control group will receive standard counseling. We will analyze the data using a generalized linear model and multivariate analysis of variance. We expect to develop the MK-U model for HIV prevention behavior among young adults. In 2025, we will implement a community-based nursing research program for the MK-U model to prevent HIV/AIDS. : In this research, we will compare the results with similar studies, which will benefit program implementers and policymakers in both regions and enhance the effectiveness of HIV prevention programs.

Published: February 2025

The interrelationship between factors of climate change and oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis have not been investigated thoroughly in Nepal. Thus, a study was conducted to understand the effect of different factors of climate change on growth and development of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis. The study was carried out in laboratory conditions of the Entomology department, Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan, Nepal where samples of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis were collected and reared in the artificial condition. Oriental fruit flies B. dorsalis of a specific stage were tested in the environmental chambers to determine their interlinkage with fluctuating relative humidity and temperature. Sample insects were also kept in the chambers to detect their effect by variable carbon dioxide (CO2). At 50c temperature the average numbers of B. dorsalis were 15, however, their growth and development changed leading to their numbers equal to 13 at 150c and 1 at 400c. The average numbers (i.e., growth and development) of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis observed were non-significant with variable temperature. Growth and development of B. dorsalis found positively correlated with the relative humidity. Maximum development and increase in pest population detected between 60-70%. Relative humidity (RH). Growth and development of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis were positively correlated with changing carbon dioxide (CO2), however, significant increase in pest population found at 570 ppm carbon dioxide. Therefore, the factors of climate change found directly interrelated with the growth and development of oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis.
Exploring Gut Microbiome, Gut-Brain Axis and Relationship with Exercise; Exploring the Impact of Exercise on Metabolic and Mental Well-Being
Authors: Mishra Charul , Mewani Apeksha
Published: February 2025

An individual's gut microbiome influences multiple mechanisms within host physiology, playing a crucial role in metabolism, immunity, and neurological function. The diversity of gut microbes evolves throughout an individual’s lifetime, with disturbances and alterations linked to metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The gut comprises approximately 100 million neurons, more than the human spinal cord, and is often referred to as the "second brain." Emerging research highlights a bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain through multiple mechanisms, including neural, immune, and endocrine pathways. While scientists have extensively explored the role of nutrition and probiotics in gut health, the independent effects of exercise on the gut microbiome and gut-brain axis remain under-researched. This review aims to examine the gut microbiome, its intricate connections, and the influence of exercise in modulating gut microbial composition, thereby improving host physiology. Additionally, it investigates the impact of physical activity on the gut-brain axis, particularly in relation to mood and behavioral disorders. Given the increasing burden of chronic diseases and mental health disorders, understanding the exercise-gut interaction offers valuable insights for public health strategies focused on disease prevention, mental well-being, and holistic health promotion.

Synchronization of development and inhibitory effects of linoleic acid on Babesia-secreted vesicles
Authors: Haak Simone , Chen Dong , Thekkiniath Jose
Published: February 2025

Human babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by a
blood-borne single-celled parasite belonging to the genus
Babesia. Cases of human babesiosis are commonly reported in the
United States, Western Europe, and Asia . In the United States,
the two most common species are Babesia microti and Babesia
duncani. Transmitted to humans through tick bites, the parasite infects
the host’s red blood cells and induces flu-like symptoms, and has
evolved mechanisms to manipulate the immune system, enabling its
persistence. One key mechanism is the secretion of extracellular
vesicles which carry bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids and
genetic material that modulate pathogen-host interactions and disease
development. The inhibition of the secretion of these vesicles may lead
to disease control. One potential inhibitor of extracellular vesicle
secretion is linoleic acid, a poly-unsaturated lipid that has
demonstrated inhibitory properties in other parasites. To study the
effects of development stage- dependent stimulus on Babesia
duncani, we also examined the use of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, to
synchronize parasites. In this study, using a Babesia duncani in
vitro continuous culture system and microscopy techniques, we showed
sorbitol-induced synchronization of parasite development, and the
inhibition of extracellular vesicle secretion.

The iLet Bionic Pancreas system can improve glycemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes with its simple interface, setup, and maintenance, making it practical for use in the primary care setting and via telehealth (TH). This multisite, random-order crossover trial included 40 adults with type 1 diabetes who received care either from an endocrinology or a primary care clinic and were seen either in person or via TH. Of these 40 participants, 97% achieved an average glucose (AG) <183 mg/dL, and 64% achieved an AG <154 mg/dL. These results suggest that the system can be initiated effectively by primary care providers and via TH, potentially expanding access to this technology to a broad population, including individuals who cannot easily access subspecialty diabetes care.

Authors: Zeelenberg Miliaan L , Loggers Sverre A I , Joosse Pieter , Van Lieshout Esther M M , Gosens Taco , FRAIL-HIP study group  , NONU-HIP study group
Published: February 2025

Background and purpose: For frail institutionalized hip fracture patients who opt for nonoperative management (NOM), the additional treatment benefits of hospital admission and in-hospital diagnostics are not well evaluated. We aimed to describe and compare treatment satisfaction and quality of dying for patients who refrained from hospitalization after a hip fracture and patients who were treated nonoperatively after a short period of hospitalization.Methods: Both cohorts included very frail institutionalized hip fracture patients. The first group directly started supportive care in their own nursing home after a suspected hip fracture. The second opted for NOM during shared decision-making after admission and diagnostics at the hospital. Primary outcomes were treatment satisfaction and quality of dying measured by the Quality of Dying and Death Questionnaire (QODD). Secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life (EuroQoL-5D-5L and Qualidem), pain, and medication.Results: 20 non-hospitalized and 88 hospitalized patients were included. Overall treatment satisfaction by proxies was high for both the non-hospitalized 9 (interquartile range [IQR] 8–10) and hospitalized patients 8 (IQR 4–9). Quality of dying was rated higher in the non-hospitalized group with QODD 8.3, IQR 6.9–8.6 versus 7.0, IQR 5.7–7.8, and median difference 1.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.1–1.8). Health-related quality of life, measured by the EQ-5D-5L utility score, was low in both groups but higher in non-hospitalized patients (0.30, IQR 0.15–0.32) than in hospitalized patients (0.25, IQR 0.03–0.32, median difference: 0.03, CI –0.03 to 0.09). Both groups reported similar pain levels, but hospitalized patients used higher standardized daily doses of opiates (68 mg vs 39 mg, median difference 24 mg, CI 7–42).Conclusion: Proxies of hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients report high treatment satisfaction after opting for NOM. Non-hospitalization may have a beneficial effect on quality of dying in selected patients who have pre-recorded do-not-hospitalize directives or shared decision-making after a suspected hip fracture.
Correlation between a real-time bioparticle detection device and a traditional microbiological active air sampler monitoring air quality in an operating room during elective arthroplasty surgery: a prospective feasibility study
Authors: Larsson Lise-Lott , Nordenadler Johan , Björling Gunilla , Felländer-Tsai Li , Lazarinis Stergios , Ljungqvist Bengt , Mattsson Janet , Reinmüller Berit , Brismar Harald
Published: February 2025

Background and purpose: The standard method for controlling operating room (OR) air quality is measuring bacteria-carrying particles per volume unit of air: colony forming units (CFU/m3). The result takes at least 2 days after sampling. Another method is real-time measurements of fluorescing bioparticles per unit volume of air (FBP/dm3). We aimed to compare simultaneous measurements of FBP/50 dm3 and CFU/m3 during ongoing arthroplasty surgery.Methods: 18 arthroplasties were performed in a modern OR with turbulent mixed airflow ventilation. The sampling heads of a BioAerosol Monitoring System (BAMS) and a microbiological active air sampler (Sartorius MD8 Air Sampler) were placed next to each other, and 6 parallel 10-minute registrations of FBP/50 dm3 and CFU/m3 were performed for each surgery. Parallel measurements were plotted against each other, Passing–Bablok nonparametric linear regression was performed, and the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) was calculated.Results: The r between FBP ≥ 3 μm/50 dm3 and CFU/m3 sampled for 96 x 10-minute intervals, was 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57–0.79). In the 25th percentile with the lowest 10-minute FBP ≥ 3μm/50 dm3, there were no CFU measurements with ≥ 10 and 4% with ≥ 5 CFU/m3. In the 75th percentile with the highest 10-minute FBP ≥ 3 μm/50 dm3, there were 58% CFU measurements with ≥ 10 and 88% with ≥ 5 CFU/m3. The r between FBP ≥ 3 μm/50 dm3 and CFU/m3 means sampled during 18 operations was 0.87 (CI 0.68–0.95).Conclusion: Low FBP ≥ 3 μm/50 dm3 measured by BAMS indicates low CFU/m3; conversely, high FBP ≥ 3 μm/50 dm3 indicates high CFU/m3. Real-time measurements of FBP ≥ 3 μm/50 dm3 can be used as a supplement to CFU/m3 monitoring OR air bacterial load.
Crystal induced Arthropathies A Comparative Study of 186 Patients with Gout, Apatite Rheumatism, Chondrocalcinosis and Primary Synovial Chondromatosis
Authors: M Bély , A Apáthy
Published: February 2025

Gout (G), apatite rheumatism (AR), chondrocalcinosis (Ch-C), and primary synovial chondromatosis (prSynCh) are regarded
as distinct clinical entities.
The introduction of the non-staining technique by Bély and Apáthy (2013) opened a new era in the microscopic diagnosis
of crystal induced diseases, allowing demonstration of MSU, HA, CPPD, cholesterol, crystalline liquid lipid droplets, and
several other non-identified crystals in unstained sections of conventionally processed (aqueous formaldehyde fixed, paraffinembedded) tissue samples.
Aim of this study was to describe the characteristic histology of crystal deposits in G, AR, Ch-C, and prSynCh with traditional
stains and histochemical reactions comparing with unstained tissue sections of Bély and Apáthy (2013).
Patients and Methods: Tissue samples of 146 patients with clinically diagnosed gout, 4 with apatite rheumatism (Milwaukee
syndrome), 16 with chondrocalcinosis, and 20 with clinically diagnosed primary synovial chondromatosis were analyzed.
Results and Conclusions: Gout is a distinct metabolic disease with monomorphic MSU crystal deposits, while apatite
rheumatism, chondrocalcinosis, and primary synovial chondromatosis are related metabolic disorders with HA and CPPD
depositions.
The authors assume that AR and Ch-C are different stages of the same metabolic disorder, which differ from prSynCh in
amorphous mineral production, furthermore in the production of chondroid, osteoid and/or bone.
prSynCh is a defective variant of HA and CPPD induced metabolic arthropathy with reduced mineralization which is replaced
with chondroid and/or bone formation.
The non-staining technique of Bély and Apáthy proved to be a much more effective method for the demonstration of crystals
in metabolic diseases than conventional stains and histochemical reactions.

The Effect of Compensation on Employee Performance with Work Motivation as Intervening Variable
Authors: Fendik Zhafirah Utami , Hakim Lukman
Published: February 2025

Objective: Knowing the direct relationship between compensation and performance, as well as the mediating role of work motivation factors in the relationship between compensation and performance.
Methodology: This study used quantitative research methods with explanatory research. The data collected is in the form of questionnaires and documents from government institutions. Test the hypothesis in this study using a path analysis model, while for the mediation test, researchers manage the data using the Sobel Test. The population used was employees of the Government of Environmental Office in Surakarta City who worked in the field, a research sample of 30 respondents with proportional random sampling as a sampling technique.
Results: According to study using path analysis testing, employee performance is not significantly impacted by compensation variables. Subsequently, the outcomes of utilizing the Sobel Test and the Sobel Calculator to assess work motivation as an intervening variable demonstrated that work motivation acts as a mediator between the impact of compensation and employee performance. Employee performance is unaffected by an employee's higher pay. Nonetheless, the influence of remuneration on worker performance may involve an intermediary factor: the supply of motivation.
Application / Originality / Value: Based on several existing research, there has yet to be any research that discusses the topics and objects of research that were researched in this research. The underlying difference with previous research is that this research used a population of employee respondents who worked in the field, not in an administrative environment. The novelty of this study is that respondents are the employees who worked in the field, while previous research used respondents on employees who worked in the administrative sphere.

The paper introduces a new seven-dimensional (7D) chaotic system based on a memristor emulator created using a hyperbolic tangent function. This system is derived from a six-dimensional (6D) dynamic system of equations that describes the process of magnetic field generation, serving as an alternative to the Rikitake dynamo, which explains the inversion of the magnetic field of the Earth and other celestial bodies. The study analyzes the stability of equilibrium points in the new dynamical system. The Lyapunov exponents spectrum and the Kaplan–Yorke dimension are calculated for fixed parameters of the 7D dynamical system. The presence of a positive Lyapunov exponent demonstrates the chaotic behavior of the new 7D dynamic system, while the fractional Kaplan–Yorke dimension indicates the fractal structure of strange attractors. Based on the results from Matlab–Simulink and LabVIEW models, a chaotic signal generator for the 7D chaotic memristive system is implemented in the Multisim environment. The chaotic behavior simulation in the Multisim environment exhibits similar results to the simulations in the Matlab–Simulink and LabVIEW models.

According to prospect theory, investors evaluate gains and losses with certain tendencies. Investors assess losses and avoid risk in the domain of gains. When faced with choices involving potential losses or gains, loss aversion can lead to a tendency to avoid risks that could result in losses, even if the potential gains are substantial. The population in this study is cryptocurrency investors in Bali, whose number is unknown. The sample was determined based on the opinion that the number of indicators x 5-10, which is 150 samples. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with the criterion that cryptocurrency investors have been investing for a minimum of 2 years. The data analysis technique used is SEM-PLS. Underconfidence does not affect cryptocurrency investment performance. Underconfidence positively affects Long Term Investment Decision and short term investment decision. Long Term Investment Decision and short term investment decision positively affect cryptocurrency investment performance.
Научные журналы в России: кто должен финансировать их издание?

Отсутствие механизмов целевой системной поддержки научно-издательской деятельности в России актуализирует вопрос о необходимости поиска оптимальных путей финансирования научной периодики. В статье проведен ретроспективный анализ основных источников финансирования российских научных журналов, а также изучена политика коммерческих изданий в отношении авторской оплаты публикаций. Рассмотрены различные модели финансирования изданий: за счет учредителей (научных организаций и вузов), подписки, спонсоров. Обосновано, что система финансирования научных организаций, сложившаяся после реформирования Российской академии наук (РАН), не только не способствует развитию издательской деятельности, но и создает барьеры для ее осуществления. Сделан вывод о необходимости сочетания ресурсов учредителей и целевых средств из федерального бюджета для финансирования ведущих научных журналов, выпускаемых научными организации и вузами. Отдельно рассмотрена финансовая модель «золотого» открытого доступа, предусматривающая плату за публикацию, как один из перспективных путей решения проблемы финансирования изданий. Анализ политик и контента платных российских изданий, индексируемых в DOAJ (n = 49), по таким критериям, как размер платы за публикацию, предмет оплаты, наличие дополнительных платных услуг, момент оплаты публикации, периодичность выхода, количество статей в выпуске, срок рецензирования, индексирование, наличие переводной версии, учредители, выявил среди них значительное количество «хищнических» журналов, подтверждая стереотип о том, что платные журналы часто ведут недобросовестную, «хищническую» политику. Количество платных журналов в России при этом невелико. В то же время результаты исследования продемонстрировали финансовые возможности и готовность авторов оплачивать публикацию научных статей. Эти средства могли бы в значительной мере способствовать развитию качественных научных журналов при введении ими платы за публикацию с соблюдением этических норм и издательских стандартов. Выводы исследования важны для принятия решений по совершенствованию системы финансирования научной периодики в России.
