The anthropization of forest ecosystems has become a major environmental problem with negative impacts on biodiversity around the world. Responding to such a problem requires monitoring land use. Thus, this study aims to analyze the Spatio-temporal dynamics of land use (LULC) to implement effective management strategies for forest ecosystems in the South Talihya watershed in eastern DR Congo.  For this, a diachronic study of Landsat TM+ satellite images from 1987 and 2001 and Sentinel-2 from 2020 was used. The results revealed that natural formations have regressed in favor of croplands and fallow mosaics in the Talihya South watershed. The forests which occupied 183.68 km2 in 1987, decreased to 140.94 km2 in 2001 and 108.2 km2 in 2020. Bare lands and buildings represented 87.54 km2 in 2020 against 115.33 km2 in 2001 and 58 .63 km2 in 1987. The current state of land use indicates that Crop lands, fallows, and pastures occupy a high surface area compared to forests and bare lands and buildings. These Crop lands, fallows, and pastures occupied 317.88 km2 in 1987, 303.74 km2 in 2001, and 373.34 km2 in 2020. The observed changes result from overexploitation of resources characterized by the expansion of agricultural lands and tree logging. The annual deforestation rate calculated from forested areas of Talihya South watershed between dates t0 (1987) and t1 (2020) was 1.60%. In view of these results, participatory land use planning is a way to ensure sustainable management of the existing residual forests in this watershed.

Authors: Moraes Delgado Junior Calmindo
Published: September 2022

Atualmente existe no modelo educacional empregado aos estudantes e profissionais de ensino aprendizagem, uma crescente discussão sobre a utilização da ludicidade na educação física infantil, e essa discussão vem ganhando cada vez mais adeptos tanto no ambiente escolar, acadêmico, familiar e social, devido aos problemas gerados pela falta de estímulos da prática de atividade física que leva a maioria das crianças ao sedentarismo. Assim, o objetivo geral desse artigo foi investigar o estímulo e a empregabilidade da educação física infantil no ambiente escolar, bem como a utilização de métodos revolucionários para ajudar essa criança a aprender e se desenvolver como é o caso do lúdico. Para o alcance do objetivo traçado foi desenvolvido uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com método exploratório e interpretativo do pesquisador. Os principais resultados apontados demonstraram que é possível estimular a participação da criança nas aulas de educação física infantil bem como receber o auxílio da família para estimular e até mesmo espalhar as várias informações a respeito da prática de atividade física. Foi possível constatar que a utilização de atividades lúdicas, proporciona maior interesse e interação pelo esporte sendo esse um dos métodos que possibilita a melhoria dos problemas enfrentados por algumas crianças que não se interessavam pela atividade física ou que viviam no sedentarismo total deixando de se privilegiar dos variados benefícios trazido pela atividade física.

Authors: Farias Laurimar de Matos , Pereira Pantoja Julienne Edienne
Published: September 2022

O presente texto analisa as relações existentes entre as práticas pedagógicas e as ações de orientação e cuidado com a saúde docente. É sabido que o adoecimento dos docentes se apresenta como originado a partir da rotina da própria prática desse profissional, sendo comuns em razão da jornada de trabalho, da relação com o quantitativo de estudantes por turma e da precarização dos espaços educativos onde desenvolvem seu trabalho. Nesse aspecto, apresentam-se como necessárias práticas pedagógicas que contribuam na minoração desse adoecimento. A metodologia do trabalho foi construída a partir da revisão da literatura sobre a temática práticas pedagógicas e adoecimento docente, assim como análises de dados disponíveis a partir de relatórios anuais da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Belém. Concluiu-se que a Rede Municipal de Ensino apresenta tendência indicativa com um expressivo número de adoecimento entre seus servidores. Assim, ações de prevenção, nesse caso, práticas pedagógicas pontuais, são de suma importância na orientação à prevenção de adoecimento funcional.
A Sequência de Padovan ou de Coordonier
Authors: Alves Francisco Regis Vieira , Catarino Paula Maria Machado Cruz
Published: September 2022

De modo geral, os autores de livros de História da Matemática dedicam um expediente de discussão considerável aos números de Fibonacci. De fato, uma profusão de exemplos e sua manifestação, por intermédio de propriedades, de toda ordem, parecem eclipsar o papel e a constatação da ocorrência pitoresca de outras entidades matemáticas numéricas. Por conseguinte, o presente trabalho busca envidar uma discussão em torno do número plástico e da sequência de Padovan. Seu espaço de utilidade singular foi detectado na Arquitetura, todavia, por intermédio de um processo matemático evolutivo, histórico e epistemológico, o trabalho constata o interesse atual na pesquisa em Matemática, cujo vigor evolutivo pode ser objetivado por intermédio do estabelecimento de novas definições matemáticas que representam, grosso modo, seu processo ininterrupto de formalização e de generalização. Isso posto, propugnam-se, ao final do mesmo, importantes e significativas repercussões e uma legítima trajetória epistemológica evolutiva que comunica ao leitor um viés não estático e evolutivo do pensamento e dos objetos matemáticos.
O microcosmo da análise: uma resposta à questão “o que é Cálculo?”
Authors: Siqueira Carlos Eduardo
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo propõe uma resposta à questão “O que é Cálculo?” baseado no entendimento de linguagem da Filosofia Analítica, onde uma definição explicita as conexões de uma palavra na teia linguística. Para abordar a mudança que ocorre nela através do tempo é necessário um aporte teórico da História, para tanto é utilizado o Movimento dos Annales como ponte entre as áreas do conhecimento. A partir da discussão de como os pressupostos historiográficos condicionam a História, é proposta uma História do Cálculo que foca no microcosmo das relações entre os matemáticos, que se desenvolveu de casos ad hoc até o rigor atual do Cálculo Infinitesimal.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: Media is the plural version of medium, which in general refers to any channel of communication. An audience is defined in media studies as any group of individuals who consume media information, not just those who are in the same location at the same time. Today, media influence is so powerful that it may easily influence people both positively and negatively. We also live in a society that is heavily reliant on media for information and entertainment. The nation’s future is determined by the caliber of its youth. Youth can make a significant contribution in every field. However, new research indicates that youth media creation has the potential to improve young people's relationships with the media in ways that benefit media institutions, youth themselves, and, eventually, our democracy. Hence it’s very important to study the interrelationship between media and the youth audience.
Methodology: This review paper examines the relationship between the media and youth using secondary data from journal papers and scholarly research publications.
Findings: Research has shown that the media has an impact on the physical, mental, and emotional health of youth in both positive and negative ways. Studies show that the media has influenced young people’s suicide inclinations. It has been discovered that the youth were enticed to attempt sex, smoking, alcohol, and other narcotics, and subsequently became addicted. According to research, the media has an impact on youth political and religious participation. According to the research, media has influenced the lifestyle of youth. The studies have revealed that media has increased cybercrime in youth. It has been discovered that the majority of young people accept media content without questioning its veracity.
Originality/value: This research explores the relationship between the media and the youth audience, which covers youth perception, media participation, and the influence of media on the youth.

Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic is a major health crisis that has affected the lives of millions worldwide. This article aimed to assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the different aspects of human life. Throughout the pandemic, the worldwide lockdown has led to economic crises in many nations, resulting in a huge number of people losing their jobs and livelihoods.

Societal communication decreased and mental status was affected; as fear of the pandemic spread, many people developed sleep disturbances. Mental illnesses, anxiety, and depression were prevalent among the population. However, young people reported increased periods of sleep, Sleep disturbance was high among pediatric and healthcare workers. During covid-19, was shown that the use of electronic media by people near bedtime increased. During lockdown due to COVID-19, increased nutrition intake reduced bodily activity, and hence increased body mass index, especially among children was observed. Food delays have also occurred, particularly among young people.

Authors: GÜRLER Mukaddes , TÜMER Ali Rıza , KURT Funda , GÜRBÜZ Aslıhan
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Illicit drug use is an ever-increasing problem all over the world also reflected in emergency services as drug-induced toxicities. There is limited data about illicit drugs that pose pediatric emergency cases in our country which of most are based on immunochemical screening test results that are prone to false positivity and negativity or insufficient for some drugs.

Materials and methods: We established validated LC-MS/MS methods for 39 illicit drug analytes and used them to evaluate blood and urine samples of pediatric emergency patients (n=50, mean age: 15.9 y, 72% male; %28 female) along with an easy and short sample preparation step.

Results: Acceptable method validation results by means of linearity, repeatability, accuracy, sensitivity, and selectivity were achieved. Illicit drugs were detected in 60% of patients, of these 71.4% were male, and 40% of patients showed mixed drugs. Amphetamine-type drugs and synthetic cathinones were the most found illegal drugs in samples.

Conclusion: This study was the first to use LC-MS/MS for the determination of 39 illicit drug analytes in pediatric emergency patients in our country. LC-MS/MS is a reliable, sensitive tool for the evaluation of drug-suspected emergency patients. In particular, drug use profiles that cause urgent health problems should be kept up-to-date and shared through a national network so that physicians and toxicologists, as well as officials who make regulations on illicit drug policy, should be informed.
A method for culturing patient-derived lung cancer organoids from surgically resected tissues and biopsy samples
Authors: Ko Yu Ri , Kim Ji Min , Kang Younsoo , Kim Minsuh , Jang Se Jin
Published: September 2022

Cancer model systems that maintain the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of human cancers are crucial for the study of precision cancer medicine. In this respect, patient-derived cancer organoids have been developed as preclinical models of various human cancers, with significant advantages over previous cancer models including patient-derived xenografts and cell lines. We recently reported a culture system of patient-derived lung cancer organoids (LCOs) that retain the characteristics of patients’ tumors. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for establishing LCOs from surgically resected tumor tissues and endoscopic biopsy samples. This method improves the efficiency of setting up LCOs composed of pure cancer cells and describes an additional procedure for reconstructing LCOs after cryopreservation. We confirmed that stored LCOs had the ability to self-organize and retain the morphological and genetic characteristics of their parental tissues. They also maintained their responsive properties to certain anticancer drugs after thawing. In conclusion, our method efficiently generates LCOs that enable anticancer drug screening at the individual patient level.

Newcomer Women's Experience of Immigration and Precarious Work in Toronto
Authors: Nichols Leslie J.
Published: September 2022

Canada's immigration policy encourages immigrants with education and job skills. They are awarded points for specific skills and admitted in the economic class. This system is held up as a model of a modern immigration policy, but it incorporates misogynistic norms that give male applicants a strong economic advantage over women. The policy divides applicants into primary applicants and dependents. Only the skills of the primary applicant, usually the husband in a family unit, are assessed. Thus women's potential economic contribution is not considered. This study of 30 newcomer women in Toronto found that they remained in low-paid precarious work, were vulnerable to workplace exploitation, sacrificed their careers to support their husbands, suffered economic and health repercussions, and had difficulty getting better work due to unpaid household labor and lack of social supports. This paper shows the connection between the marginalization of these women and Canadian immigration policy
Changing Lives, Saving Lives: Women Centred Working â€“ An Evidence-Based Model from the UK
Authors: Warwick-Booth Louise , Cross Ruth
Published: September 2022

Relative disadvantage and deprivation are significant problems for vulnerable women in urban areas in England. Despite experiencing a range of complex health needs such women do not always meet the required thresholds for statutory help or if they do, they are often unable to engage with the requirements of these service providers. Third sector (or non-governmental) organisations have often supported women in need but operate time-limited programmes due to funding restrictions. In a climate where statutory support systems are being systematically weakened, third sector organisations are playing a more significant role in supporting vulnerable women. This paper will present key findings from several evaluations of projects delivered by non-governmental organisations which are designed to make a difference to womenâ€™s lives. The findings cohere around what works providing evidence of effective approaches to supporting vulnerable women with complex needs. A transferable model of women-centred working is presented.

Homebuyers’ knowledge of their rights and obligations when buying a new house : a small scale survey in Mpumalanga
Authors:   , Sibeko Khunjuliwe Purity
Published: September 2022

The ever-increasing population size in South Africa has resulted in an increase in the number of homebuyers who enter the property market. For this reason, there was a risk of homebuilders building houses of poor quality in order to meet the everincreasing demand. National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) was established in 1998 to regulate the home building industry. The NHBRC is mandated to protect the homebuyers from unscrupulous builders who built houses of poor quality. The purpose of this study was to establish the extent of homebuyers’ knowledge of their rights and obligations when they are in the process of buying new houses and when they have occupied their homes. The researcher in her position as a complaints officer at NHBRC observed that most homebuyers in the Mpumalanga Highveld region report defects to NHBRC when the defects are already outside the Defect Liability Period (DLP) and thus lose their right to have defects attended to by homebuilders at no cost to themselves. Observing their plight is what led to this study. International studies indicate that across the world, many homebuyers do not have adequate knowledge of their rights and obligations. In this study, it has been established that homebuyers in the Mpumalanga Highveld region of South Africa do not demonstrate adequate knowledge. Underpinned by Sen’s Capability Approach, this qualitative study was conducted and open-ended questions were asked to determine participants’ behaviours, experiences, attitudes and perceptions. Particular attention was paid to homebuyers’ knowledge of defect liability periods and redress channels as stipulated in Section 13 of the Housing Consumer Protection Measures Act 95 of 1998. A sample of 10 participants was interviewed telephonically. The results showed that the participants have inadequate knowledge of the homebuyer’s rights and obligations. The study suggests that there is a definite need for structured homebuyer education by NHBRC. Recommendations are based on the key constructs of Sen’s Capability Approach, namely, capability, functionality, and agency.
Discourse genres in the transition between the classroom and the workplace : a comparative study of Language Practice at a university of technology
Authors:   , Khanyile Nonkanyiso Siphephile
Published: September 2022

In the study, the transition between classroom and workplace discourse is explored using the activity theory construct. The investigation is situated in the city of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. This study provided new insights into the transition between classroom and workplace communication contexts and highlighted the importance of communication for employees in organisations. Based on semi-structured interviews representing twelve Language Practice graduates in organisations and the GLDY 101-103 instructor, common themes among responses during data analysis were identified. The method for the data analysis was the thematic data analysis, which is flexible in nature and allows for interpretation and discussion of the data provided by sampled individuals. The findings disclose that to a certain degree, an alignment exists between communication skills learned in a higher education institution and communication skills required in the workplace. As Language Practice graduates acclimatise to the communication context in their organisations, they employ techniques learned in General Language Dynamics 101-103 to identify, analyse and solve communication complications that arise. However, the findings also reveal that as new employees in the context of workplace communication, graduates face difficulties adjusting, which affect the way they communicate with their colleagues and superiors. The study includes suggestions on what course instructors, students and graduates should focus upon in the classroom and workplace based on the expectations and experiences shared by participants as well as recommendations for future research.
The spiritual language of colour : exploration of Colour symbolism in Hindu community in eThekwini, South Africa
Authors:   , Kudrya-Marais Elena Vladimirovna
Published: September 2022

The study aimed to investigate the symbolism of colour in Hinduism and intended to create awareness and promote its application in any design practices such as photography, fashion, advertising, graphic and interior design. The study also takes into account Western influence and the process of globalisation which has brought many changes into the lives of the Hindu community. Literature review has indicated the absence of any similar studies that have developed a colour guide based on colour symbolism in Hinduism. Although a few studies were conducted investigating the general meaning of colour in Hinduism, there was not one which could be applicable in the design field for the Indian audiences. With a specific focus on the Hindu community in eThekwini, South Africa, this case study employed a qualitative research method to investigate the symbolism of colour in Hinduism and how it has been adopted and integrated into the cultural practices. Two samples of population were selected using purposive sampling: namely, 10 religious leaders from 10 eThekwini Temples and 10 senior citizens in the Hindu communities visiting such Temples and practising Hinduism on a regular basis. The participants were interviewed using openended questions and the data was analysed using thematic analysis. Guided by the conceptual framework, the study revealed five themes that emerged from the data: Colours in Hinduism, Psychological Healing Properties of Colours, Differences in Colour Use between South Africa and India, Impact of Globalisation on Colour Use in Hinduism and Western Influence on Young Hindus. The results showed that colour symbolism in Hinduism is still widely used in all Hindu communities, but the process of globalisation has changed the way colours are interpreted and used, especially for younger generations of Hindus. All participants selected for the study were aware of the topic and this contributed greatly to the study. Participants shared their knowledge and experiences as religious leaders and senior members of the community and revealed insights into colour symbolism in Hinduism; for example, red, blue and yellow are the most widely used colours and black is the most avoided colour. The participants explained the challenges faced by the Hindu community and emphasised the negative impact of Western influence on the younger members of the community. An interesting finding of the study revealed that the limited presence of Hindu educational organisations is considered to be one of the reasons why the younger generation of Hindus is more interested in Western practices, rather than learning and understanding their own culture and religion The findings from the analysed data were used in developing a visual colour guide intended for anyone in the design field who wishes to learn, understand and apply the important meanings behind colours in Hindu culture. Wedding photography for the Hindu audience is used as an example to show how the colour guide can be used.

Published: September 2022

This document illustrates the formatting process for authors, who would be preparing their papers for publication in the International Journal of Scientific Advances (IJSCIA). It behooves the prospective authors the skillset, scientific or scholarly acumen and wherewithal to ensure that their manuscript contents are original and have never been submitted to other journals while under review in the IJSCIA. Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a slow-growing, locally destructive malignant skin tumor. The nasal location is considered a high-risk feature of BCC because of its anatomical features and problems in identifying the tumor preoperatively. Surgery is the cornerstone of nasal BCC treatment and various techniques have been developed to combine full 3D tumor removal with good aesthetic and functional results. Case Presentation: We report a circular black discoloration of a 64-year-old male patient on the left side of the nose within 2 years. The patient was scheduled for surgical removal and reconstruction of the defect using a bilobed flap. The flap consists of two lobes with a common semicircular base marked around the transverse portion of the nasalis muscle and its aponeurosis. The flap then removes the skin from the triangular peninsula at the base of the defect. After removal, the flap is moved into the defect and placed with 5-0 Prolene with a simple suture. Conclusion: The bilobed flap has multipurpose in all ways. The main benefit of this flap include the similarity color and texture relative to the defect site, ease of reproducibility, low complication rates, and the ability to design it in different sizes and tissue compositions.

Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure> 140 mmHg and diastole> 90 mmHg. This condition can damage blood vessels and interfere with blood flow, causing degenerative diseases to death. Time Restricted Feeding (TRF) is a form of intermittent fasting that regulates eating patterns by applying a cycle model of 12-16 hours of fasting and another 8-12 hours of non-fasting. TRF fasting follows the circadian rhythm pattern of the human body light-dark (eat-fast). This study aims to determine the effect of TFR on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This research is a quantitative study using a quasy experimental design with a non-equivalent control group approach, with the population being hypertensive patients living in 2 and 5 neighborhoods of Helvetia Village, sampling by means of purposive sampling with 32 respondents divided into intervention and control groups. . Respondents did TRF fasting for 30 days with a span of 12 hours of fasting starting after dinner while still allowed to drink mineral water. There are no restrictions on calories or types of food when the respondent is not fasting. The results of the study after the Wilcoxon test showed that systolic blood pressure in the intervention group decreased by 11.12 mmHg with a value of p = 0.003 (p <0.05) and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 5.19 mmHg with a value of p = 0.003 (<0.05) compared to the control group. TRF fasting follows the circadian rhythm pattern of the human body light-dark (eat-fast) so it is very good for people with hypertension The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of TRF fasting on lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Pickering (2008) observed that administration is a major determinant of a teacher’s perception of stress in the school. Besides, work overload is one of the factors causing burnout among teachers that causes reduced physical and emotional energy (Malik, 2019). The study sought to assess the extent to which administrative support and workload contribute to tutor burnout. The study employed descriptive survey design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from thirty-five tutors who were purposively sampled for the study. Concerning administrative support, the Principal often explained to teachers what was going on in the College. A majority of tutors agreed that the College created a positive environment and a conducive climate for them to work. However, a majority of tutors in the College agreed that they were not involved in planning school activities. With regard to workload, a majority of tutors accepted that large class sizes increased their workload demands and made it difficult for them to meet the needs of all students. Also, tutors acknowledged that their workload interfered with their family life. It was recommended that College management organise retreats or seminar to discuss issues and intervention plans on burnout with tutors to show concern instead of being silent on the issue. Also, college management should put measures in place to reduce number of classes taught by tutors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of innovativeness and internal locus of control on agro-entrepreneurial intention as well as the mediating role of innovativeness on the relationship between internal locus of control and agro-entrepreneurial intention among secondary school students in Nigerian. Using structural equation model on 200 secondary school students in Sokoto state, we found that the agro-entrepreneurial aspirations of secondary school students are significantly related to one’s innovativeness, while internal locus of control has no significant effect. Also, internal locus of control significantly influences one’s innovativeness. Finally, innovativeness has a full mediating effect on the relationship between internal locus of control and agro-entrepreneurial intention. Thus, the Nigerian government and other government entities are reminded by this study of the importance of continuing to develop training programs and activities to support psychological traits in young agro-entrepreneurs.

Kelâm ve Felsefe Açısından Şüphe
Authors: Eraslan Yunus
Published: September 2022

Şüphe kavramı tarihi süreçte epistemolojik anlamda dinlerin ve felsefenin ortak meselesi olagelmiştir. Felsefe tarihinde derinlemesine ve çeşitlilik içinde kullanılan bu kavram, İslam düşüncesinde daha işlevsel bir şekilde araştırma ve sorgulama amaçlı kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda felsefe açısından septik, metodik ve fideistik olmak üzere üç şüphe türünden bahsedilebilir. İslam düşüncesinde bu şüphe türlerinden ilki olan septik şüphe inkârcılıkla eşdeğer kabul edilirken, şüpheci fideizm de akla ve araştırmaya önem ve değer veren dinî metinler bağlamında kabul görmemiştir. Metodik şüphe ise araştırma, sorgulama anlamında gerçek ve kesin bilgiye ulaşmak için hem dinî metinlerde hem de İslam düşüncesinde teşvik edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Antik çağdan başlayarak felsefi şüphe ve şüphe türleri incelenecek, daha sonra bu şüphe türleri dini metinler ve kelâm düşüncesi bakımından karşılaştırılarak İslam düşüncesine göre önem ve değeri ortaya konulacaktır.
