Lymphoid cell rich fine-needle aspirations of the salivary gland: What is the risk of malignancy?
Authors: Krishnan Vimal , Victor Aaron R. , Bose Shikha , Bakkar Rania
Published: May 2023

Objectives:

Lymphoid cell rich fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of the salivary glands pose a diagnostic dilemma, with a wide range of differential diagnoses that include several benign and malignant entities. There is limited literature regarding the entities that are commonly encountered in this situation. Our goal was to characterize the surgical outcome in these cases and to evaluate the risk of malignancy.

Material and Methods:

This is a retrospective study at a tertiary care institution. Our database was queried over a 10-year period. FNAs yielding a prominent population of well-visualized lymphoid cells were included in the study. Only cases with surgical follow-up were evaluated. FNAs with epithelial cells, diagnostic features of any entity (such as granulomas or chondromyxoid stroma), history of metastatic malignancy, or scant cellularity were excluded from the study. Lymphoid cells were classified as atypical according to morphologic findings (monomorphism, irregular nuclear contours, and abnormal chromatin patterns). Statistical analysis was performed.

Results:

Of the 224 lymphoid cell rich FNAs identified, 29 (28%) had surgical follow-up in our data records. Twenty-two were from the parotid and seven from the submandibular gland. Ten cases (35%) were non-neoplastic (benign lymphoepithelial cyst [n = 4], reactive lymph node [n = 5] and chronic sialadenitis [n = 1]). Benign epithelial neoplasms including pleomorphic adenoma (n = 2) and Warthin’s tumor (n = 1) were identified in 10% of the cases. One case with non-atypical lymphocytes proved to be a mucoepidermoid carcinoma (n = 1). Lymphomas were detected in 52% (n = 15). Of note, none of these patients had a history of lymphoid malignancy. 8/15 were low-grade and 7/15 were high-grade lymphoma. Most of these cases (11/15) had atypical lymphocytes on FNA. Ancillary studies were available in a few cases and supportive of the diagnosis of lymphoma, including cell block and immunohistochemistry (n = 7, 47%), flow cytometry (n = 3, 27%), and clonality polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (n = 1; 7%). Most of these were performed in cases with atypical lymphocytes. In cases with non-atypical lymphocytes, five cases were malignant on surgical excision (5/17). Morphology on FNA had a specificity of 92% for malignancy and sensitivity of 69%. The positive predictive value on FNA of atypical lymphocytes for malignancy was 92%.

Conclusion:

Lymphoid cell rich FNAs carry a 52% incidence rate lymphoma in our small study population. Specificity of FNA for malignancy is high (92%) and lymphocyte atypia is a strong predictor of malignancy. Ancillary studies may be of added value in FNAs with non-atypical lymphoid cells. FNA has a valuable role in triaging lymphoid lesions of the salivary glands.

Authors: Wendland Deborah , Kline Paul , Simmons Logan , Sinacore David
Published: May 2023

The aim of this review was to investigate the effect of exercise, physical activity, stepping characteristics, and loading on DFU healing. A systematic review using proprietary software and a PRISMA 2020 checklist was performed by searching MEDLINE, ProQuest, Scopus, CINAHL, Ovid, and the Cochrane Library for eligible articles from 1960 to December 2020. The primary outcome was time to wound closure. Other outcomes included percentage of DFU healed and time to percentage reduction in DFU. Of the 9 articles included, 6 addressed step activity during the off-loading phase of healing and 3 investigated the addition of NWB exercise on wound healing. Reduced loading via lower daily step activity, less standing duration, and shorter walking bouts in combination with wearing an off-loading device facilitated more rapid wound healing. Exercise seemed to facilitate more rapid healing, as well. Reduced limb loading via daily activity and use of offloading devices improved DFU healing rates. Additional research is necessary to determine the optimal thresholds for exercise, activity, step characteristics, and loading to improve healing outcomes in persons with DFU.

Published: May 2023

Introduction. A novel BCMH sheet has been shown to achieve improved wound closure rates in chronic and acute wounds when compared with SOC. Objective. This retrospective evaluation assessed chronic wound closure rates with SOC or treatment with the BCMH sheet in an urban hospital wound clinic. Methods. Forty-seven chronic wounds were treated with SOC or the BCMH sheet. The primary endpoint was time to closure. For wounds that did not close, investigations were conducted to determine the reason. Results. Twenty wounds were treated with SOC, which varied in usage of multiple products and/or therapies, and 27 wounds were treated with the BCMH sheet. The average initial wound size was not statistically different between the groups. In both groups, most wounds that were treated did not close. For wounds that did close, the average time to closure was 2× faster in the BCMH group compared with the SOC group (7.4 weeks and 14.8 weeks, respectively; P < .05). Conclusions. This retrospective evaluation showed average time to wound closure to be significantly faster with BCMH compared with SOC in patients who maintained adherence with regular visits.

Interaction between Plants and Microorganisms: Microbial Biological Control Agents against Plant Pathogens
Authors: Gaur Aayushi , Bhatti Laxmi , Khatak Sunita
Published: May 2023

Plant pathogenic bacteria are a substantial and long-term danger to food supply and environmental stability across the planet. With the increase in agricultural productivity in the last few decades, farmers are getting reliant on agrochemicals as a reasonably consistent means of crop protection. But increased use of chemical inputs has various negative consequences, including disease resistance to the agents used and non-target environmental repercussions. Hence biological control is being explored as an alternative or supplement to chemical control in agriculture. This study reviews the interactions taking place between a given microorganism (fungi, bacteria, viruses) and a plant. The relation between the two organisms in the discussion can be encompassed in an elaborate manner based on the mutual gains and losses incurred by both the organisms. Microbes that interact with plants, can be manipulated and used as Biological Control Agents (BCA). BCAs are potentially seen as the alternative to using harmful chemicals in the name of fertilizers and weedicides. This study illustrates the various possible interactions between plant and other species, with specific emphasis on bacterial biocontrol and tries to answer the question: How can these interactions be articulated against a third, pathogenic and harmful species?
A Model of Pre-reaction Complexes
Authors: OZKILIC YILMAZ
Published: May 2023

One of the main objectives of computational chemistry studies is the interpretation of chemical mechanisms whose data were obtained from quantum mechanical software packages. In these mechanisms, the reactant and the product states are connected by a transition state, in the simplest cases. In general, however, there are many steps that constitute a reaction pathway. Therefore, starting from the reactant, the reactant and the product states are connected through intermediates and transition states, in an alternating order. Generally, the reactivity of a given pathway is determined by the overall barrier height. Sometimes, a comparison becomes necessary for a given step with another possible step that can be realized within the same mechanism, and in this case as well the step with the lowest-lying transition state is preferred. However, there are some exceptions in the order of these states. There are states known as pre-reaction complexes that reside between a reactant, or an intermediate, and a transition state. Formation of a pre-reaction complex in a chemical reaction generally takes place when a ligand is captured by a chemical species that contains a metal. The effect of the pre-reaction complex on the reaction mechanism is generally not discussed, and the barrier heights become the main considerations, as usual. In this work, a mathematical model that allows obtaining the rate constant of a pathway without a pre-reaction complex, and that of a pathway with a pre-reaction complex was described. The model was built using quantum perturbation theory and quantum time-correlation functions. This work should improve our understanding of the nature of chemical reactions that include pre-reaction complexes by enabling us to differentiate the seemingly identical reaction pathways.
Warm solidarity in the Belgian homelessness policy assemblage during the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Mostowska Magdalena , Hermans Koen
Published: May 2023

In 2020 in Belgium the coronavirus crisis generated a widespread solidarity between the housed and the homeless. This paper adopts a policy assemblage approach to investigate policy responses to the pandemic with regards to actions, discourses and spatial materialities around homelessness. Three areas of contingent reassembling emerged from the analysis: spaces of cooperation, domestic space and public space. All three were permeated with new charity power relations and warm solidarity rhetoric. Firstly, emergency responses involved a high level of cooperation between different actors. Secondly, domestic space became a space for participation for helpers, while recipients – temporarily and as an exceptional measure – were granted access to it. Thirdly, daily practices in public space revealed and exacerbated power imbalances. Additionally, homelessness was portrayed in the media as caused by these exceptional circumstances rather than a problem of structural inequalities and insufficient policies. In this rhetoric, increased civic solidarity was the answer to the extraordinary situation. Despite all their drawbacks, in the context of the multilevel Belgian administrative structure, however, these contingent initiatives are potentially also a tool of critique and policy change

Del Antropoceno al Ecoceno: propuestas jurídicas de la transición ecosocial para el cuidado de la vida
Authors: Borràs-Pentinat Susana
Published: May 2023

En estos tiempos en que experimentamos, en primera persona, los límites de nuestra existencia, el COVID-19 ha demostrado ser otra de las múltiples consecuencias de la huella humana en el ecosistema Tierra. La destrucción de los hábitats, la extinción de la biodiversidad, la emergencia climática… han generado una situación de enfermedad global, que sitúa al sistema Tierra a los límites de su capacidad y en la que los seres humanos no somos para nada ajenos a las consecuencias de esta patología. El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la necesidad de promover una transición ecosocial hacia una nueva ecocivilización, en la que el paradigma jurídico asentado en la era del Antropoceno debe transitar necesariamente hacia el sistema vida, hacia el «Ecoceno», una nueva era en la que la vida es el centro y que se articula a través de un ordenamiento jurídico guiado por el bienestar y cuidado de todos los seres vivos. La conjunción de todos los elementos ecojurídicos resulta en el llamado «derecho de la Tierra», cuyo centro principal es el reconocimiento de la plurisubjetividad y la atribución de derechos a todos los seres vivientes del ecosistema Tierra.

Authors: Yáñez Daniela Mariana
Published: May 2023

In a world where climate change has been one of the main challenges in the last decades, cities and local governments are key players to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to new climate conditions. This article focuses on climate change policy implementation at local level. Using the city of Buenos Aires as a case study, in this research it is aimed to identify which micro- and macro-level factors and the context enable the local government to implement its climate change action plan launched in 2015. To do so, Ryan’s framework is used. The main findings of this paper support the hypothesis tested: Buenos Aires local government had sufficient resources and support from political and social coalitions, as well as the ability to link climate action with local issues to implement the Climate Change Action Plan (2015-2020).

Authors: Rahminawati Nan , Supriyadi Tedi
Published: May 2023

An education quality assurance system is intended to enhance education quality and establish a quality culture in schools; however, some elementary schools in Indonesia still struggle with its implementation. Hence, this research aimed to suggest action steps as an option to enhance the implementation of the education quality assurance system in elementary schools. This research employed an action research design to investigate this issue and identify alternative solutions. The data were collected using a survey and semi-structured interviews with staff at one private elementary school in East Kalimantan province, namely a school principal, 31 teachers and two school foundation administrators. The findings produced nine action steps: 1) Building management commitment, 2) Setting up a quality improvement team, 3) Engaging in communication and socialization, 4) Building quality awareness, 5) Forming a quality control circle, 6) Mapping quality education, 7) Preparing a mapping instrument, 8) Collecting mapping data, and 9) Processing and analyzing mapping data. This research concludes that new school quality standards improved every year on being compared with eight points on the national education standards, and the national examination results exceeded the average national examination score at the provincial level. The increase in the average values of Standard 1–8 ranged from 0.6 to 1.5. In other words, these nine steps had an impact on obtaining school accreditation with a superior rating.

Published: May 2023

An investigation of soil and water resources is essential to determine the future scenario of water management and water resources to attain food and water security. The improper management of watersheds results in a huge amount of sediment loss and surface runoff. Therefore, the present study was carried out to estimate the surface runoff and soil erosion using the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method and RUSLE approach, respectively. These have been estimated using geospatial technologies for the ungauged Mandri river watershed from the Kanker district of Chhattisgarh State in India. The runoff potential zones, which are defined by the area's impermeable surfaces for a given quantity of precipitation were identified based on curve numbers at the sub-watershed levels. The land use data were collected from LISS IV images of 2009. The results showed that the average volume of runoff generated throughout the 16 years (2000-2015) was 14.37 million cubic meters (mM3). While average annual soil loss was found to be 17.23 tons/ha/year. Most of the eroded area was found to be around the major stream in a drainage system of Mandri River and on higher slopes of the terrain in the watershed. This study revealed that surface runoff and soil erosion are primary issues, which adversely affected the soil and water resources in this watershed. Therefore, suitable water harvesting sites and structures can be constructed based on the potential runoff zone and severity of soil erosion to conserve the soil and water in the watershed.

Mangrove forests are considered one of the most complex and dynamic ecosystems facing various challenges due to anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. The excessive harvesting and land-use change in areas covered by mangrove ecosystems is critical threats to these forests. Therefore, the continuous and regular monitoring of these forests is essential. Fortunately, remote sensing data has made it possible to regularly and frequently monitor this forest type. This study has two goals. Firstly, it combines optical data of Landsat- 8 and Sentinel-2 with Sentinel-1 radar data to improve land cover mapping accuracy. Secondly, it aims to evaluate the SVM machine learning algorithms and random forest to detection and differentiate forest cover from other land types in the Google Earth Engine system. The results show that the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm in the S2 + S1 dataset with a kappa coefficient of 0.94 performs significantly better than when used in the L8 + S1 combination dataset with a kappa coefficient of 0.88. Conversely, the kappa coefficients of 0.89 and 0.85 were estimated for the random forest algorithm in S2 + S1 and L8 + S1 datasets. This again indicates the superiority of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 datasets over Landsat- 8 and Sentinel-1 datasets. In general, the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm yielded better results than the RF random forest algorithm in optical and radar datasets. The results showed that using the Google Earth engine system and machine learning algorithms accelerates the process of mapping mangrove forests and even change detection.
Rural migration and agricultural modernization. An analysis of provincial Spain during its great rural exodus, 1960–1981
Authors: Clar Ernesto , Ayuda María Isabel
Published: May 2023

Rural exodus in Spain reached its peak in the period between 1960 and 1980. At this time, the Spanish countryside also witnessed its greatest agricultural transformation. Not coincidentally, the end of traditional agriculture and the massive shift of the rural population into industry and services were two major points of the Franco regime’s economic development strategy. In any event, the rate of agricultural modernization in Spain by about 1960 presented substantial differences among the country’s provinces that were to be most affected by both depopulation and de-agrarianization processes. This work analyses the influence of degree of initial agricultural modernization, through several key agricultural features (motorization, irrigation, land consolidation and yields, among others), on the net rural migration rates at provincial level, during the period 1960-1980. The results point to differences in the impact of these variables between the two decades under study, as well as the importance of preceding migration trends.
Novel Carbene Hydroxymethylene Derivatives: Gibbs free energy, NBO, AIM, and Hammett approaches via DFT and MP2 methods
Authors: Poorghasem E. , Piri F.
Published: May 2023

Density functional theory (DFT) and the Møller-Plesset expansion (MP2) calculations were benchmarked to characterize the structure of novel derivatives of carbene hydroxymethylene. In this regard, eleven numbers of primary aldehydes including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formyl chloride, 2-chloroacetaldehyde, formyl fluoride, 2-fluoroacetaldehyde, formic acid, propionaldehyde, glyoxal, methyl formate, and formyl bromide (1H-11Br) were scrutinized, at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3d,3p) level of theory. Thereafter, the process of keto-enol tautomerism via a [1,2]-H-shift of 1H-11Br was monitored to reach their corresponding enol forms (1P-11P). For all species (except for one structure), the TS involves a triangle structure of C-O-H and yields cis or trans isomers of a singlet ground-state (S) carbene that contrasts the multiplicity of ordinary carbenes. The bond dissociation energy (BDE) calculations were carried out for the homolytic cleavage of C−H bonds of 1H-11Br. The AIM, as a promising analysis that definitely reveals the nature of the bond, was conducted to characterize the eigenvalues at the bond critical points (BCPs). In addition, the relation between the Hammett equation and thermodynamic parameters was obtained. Our investigation suggests new stable S derivatives of carbene hydroxymethylene that can be isolated.

Published: May 2023

Pesticides especially insecticides are widely used in the field of agricultural development all over the world to increase crop production. Moreover, exposure to such compounds does not only influence the intended targets but also induces adverse impacts on a number of unintended targets in animals. This research aimed to determine the toxic impacts of lufenuron (an insecticide) on the health status of fish in terms of measurement of oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes, DNA damage and histopathological changes in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to different concentrations. For this purpose, Oreochromis niloticus fish, weighing about 75-80g were arbitrarily separated into four different groups and then exposed to lufenuron @ 0.7, 1.2 and 1.7µg/ L for 39 days. The results showed that the fish exposed to the pesticide had significant changes in oxidative stress, antioxidant profile in gills and percentile rate of DNA damage in different visceral organs including liver, kidney, and gills. Results of light microscopic investigations indicated different histological changes in liver (necrosis of hepatocytes, degeneration of hepatocytes, vacuolar degeneration and congestion), gills (necrosis of lamellar epithelial cells, telangiectasia, and atrophy of secondary lamellae), heart (congestion, necrosis of neurons, microgliosis and intracellular edema), brain (congestion, myofibrosis, neutrophilic and myocarditis) and kidneys (necrosis of renal tubules, widening of urinary space, necrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells). A significantly escalate in oxidative stress while lower quantity of antioxidant biomarkers was documented in experimental fish. The findings of this study suggest that long-term exposure to lufenuron has negative health effects via induction of DNA damage, increased oxidative stress, lowering of enzymatic antioxidants profile and histological lesions in visceral organs of Nile tilapita (Oreochromis niloticus).

Los cultivos en el estado de Campeche se están intensificando, esto ocasiona transformaciones en las propiedades fisicoquímicas y biológicas del suelo. El objetivo fue determinar el efecto de los agroecosistemas sobre la macrofauna edáfica y las propiedades del suelo. Se tomaron 10 puntos de muestreo por agroecosistema, con tres repeticiones cada. Los sitios se escogieron de acuerdo con el uso agropecuarios (pastizal, monte, agrícola intensivo y tradicional) y tiempo de uso (≥8 años). Se tomó 1 kg de cada muestra a 20 cm de profundidad, colocadas posteriormente en bolsas de polietileno. Se determinó pH, conductividad eléctrica, materia orgánica, fósforo disponible, nitrógeno total y macrofauna edáfica. Con los datos de cada variable se realizó un análisis de varianza y para determinar las diferencias entre usos de suelo y sitios, se efectuó una prueba de medias según el estadístico de Tukey (p≤ 0.05), mediante el software Statistica versión 7.1. El agroecosistema Pastizal de Palizada presentó las mejores características en los suelos, con pH de 7.29, P, MO, N de 1.31 mg kg-1, 5.05% y 0.31%, respectivamente y fauna edáfica con 66 individuos. El agroecosistema con menor calidad en el suelo fue cultivos intensivos de Hopelchén, con pH moderadamente ácidos (6.44), mayor cantidad de P (33.42 mg kg-1), menor MO (2.59%) y contenidos elevados de N (0.23%) y sin macrofauna edáfica. El manejo del suelo en los agroecosistemas agrícolas no favorece la presencia de macrofauna edáfica ni mantiene los nutrientes necesarios para el buen funcionamiento y calidad de suelo.

econômicos e de segurança pública. Hoje não basta apenas ler e escrever, é necessário comparar
a leitura com a realidade vivida, ou seja, contextualizá-la, bem como conseguir fazer uso do
que leu de maneiras diversas dependendo da situação apresentada. Oral e o escrito se
entrelaçam, só existe o escrito a partir do pensamento, observação, reflexão e pesquisa, seja ela
formal ou informal. Nesta realidade vive-se no mundo onde o valor do trabalho está nas ideais,
e este fundamental para a vida do homem, sendo a sala de aula, a Instituição Escola quem
prepara para o trabalho. A preparação exigeletramento, este que necessita ser desenvolvido em
cada individuo para minimizarmos as diferenças sociais tão assustadoras em determinados
espaços geográficos que limitam muitas vezes a condição de vida saudável.

O presente artigo procura trazer reflexões sobre o Novo Ensino Médio, instituído pela Lei
13.415/2017, que deverá ser implantado gradativamente em todas as instituições públicas e
privadas do país até o ano de 2024. Também reflexão acerca dos impactos dessa mudança nos
componentes curriculares que compõe as Ciências da Natureza. Muito se tem falado sobre a
necessidade de promover mudanças no ensino básico brasileiro, sobretudo no ensino médio.
Várias frentes estão mobilizadas para a implantação do modelo aprovado. Entre as principais
modificações, está a possibilidade de os estudantes escolherem a maior parte dos conteúdos
programáticos que irão vivenciar, considerando seus objetivos, preferências e interesses. Na
discussão que se segue procuraremos refletir sobre o impacto de tais mudança. Na opinião de
muitos educadores e educandos a mudança que se propõe, carece de mais discussão e se põe
em xeque a eficácia de tais modificações, a dúvida é se novo modelo vai contribuir para a
diminuição das desigualdades entre o ensino público e privado ou se aumentará ainda mais esse
abismo

OBJETIVO: O instituto do IPTU é de fundamental importância para a efetividade e
constitucionalização de direitos, em decorrência disso, é crucial estudar seus princípios e
conceitos, com o objetivo de avaliar sua necessidade para o erário público. METODOLOGIA:
Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura tradicional, não sistemática, descritiva, qualitativa e
literária, uma vez que a análise ocorre em várias fontes de pesquisa, como livros, artigos
científicos, sites e livros virtuais. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Em avaliação aos estudos
mencionados, fora observado que, no âmbito do IPTU, ao Município não é facultada a exação;
do contrário, há determinação legal da imposição do gravame, conforme a Constituição Federal
do Brasil, por meio dos princípios expressos e implícitos nela contidos, bem como na legislação
infraconstitucional, em especial a Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal.
Em cena o esporte técnico-combinatório: o caso da ginástica rítmica, do nado artístico e da patinação artística

Dentre as classificações de esporte propostas pela BNCC na Unidade Temática “Esporte”, há o grupo técnico-combinatório, cuja principal característica é “reunir modalidades nas quais o resultado da ação é a qualidade do movimento segundo padrões técnico-combinatórios” (BRASIL, 2017, p.216). Assim, o objetivo deste capítulo é trazer informações, reflexões e propostas de atividades de esportes com este perfil, e que têm um diferencial em relação ao alto apelo artístico que possuem, que os distinguem de outros deste mesmo grupo, à saber: a ginástica rítmica, o nado artístico e a patinação artística. Identificamos que esses esportes possuem componentes artísticos semelhantes, como a composição coreográfica, a musicalidade, a expressividade, e os movimentos da Dança (idênticos ou similares). E se distinguem entre si por valorarem, no âmbito competitivo, mais ou menos esses componentes artísticos em seus regulamentos, que, embora tenham uma variação percentil no “peso” total da nota da rotina, exercem um papel importante na pontuação final. Concluímos que esses esportes são imprescindíveis de serem abordados na escola, não somente por trazerem uma ampla gama e alto grau de complexidade de gestos (isolados ou combinados entre si ou com aparelhos), mas por trazerem essa relação da linguagem entre o Esporte e a Arte de forma evidente, potencializando um processo educacional estético próprio do campo esportivo nas aulas de Educação Física.

O presente texto veicula um relato de experiência da unidade temática de esportes de rede/quadra dividida ou parede de rebote no contexto da educação física escolar, além de expor o aprofundamento na aplicação prática de uma unidade didática de badminton em escolares iniciantes. O estudo investigou o desempenho das capacidades tático-técnicas de escolares pós-intervenção pedagógica, via método Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU), agregando-se o conteúdo de coordenação motora específica para o badminton. Considerou-se também, a distribuição de prática de dois grupos: Grupo Experimental 1 (GE1) recebeu sessões de aulas geminadas, uma vez por semana; Grupo Experimental 2 (GE2) recebeu sessões de aulas isoladas, duas vezes por semana. Participaram da intervenção 27 escolares, com 12,37(±0,49) anos, de ambos os sexos, pertencentes ao 8° ano dos anos finais do ensino fundamental. Encontrou-se diferença estatística na evolução do nível de execução da habilidade e na performance do jogo, no entanto, não se encontrou melhoria no nível de tomada de decisão. Conclui-se que os escolares evoluíram na maioria dos aspectos tático-técnicos do Badminton, mas esta evolução não foi decorrente da forma de aplicação das aulas: geminada versus isolada.

A corrida de orientação é considerada uma prática de aventura na natureza e, como prática esportiva, está presente na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) como objeto de conhecimento. Temos como principal objetivo apresentar uma proposta para o ensino do esporte de orientação nas aulas de Educação Física escolar. Como unidade temática/objeto de conhecimento, oferecem inúmeras possibilidades de experiências corporais e de articulação com diferentes áreas de conhecimento (interdisciplinar). Com esta proposta, esperamos conseguir apoiar iniciativas para o desenvolvimento do esporte de orientação nas aulas de Educação Física escolar. Além do baixo custo, o esporte de orientação consegue mobilizar estudantes em diferentes papéis sociais, conteúdos e explorar diferentes espaços, dentro ou fora da escola.

O presente ensaio teve como objetivo problematizar o ensino do atletismo nas aulas de Educação Física escolar, para tanto partimos das orientações da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) referentes aos encaminhamentos para o ensino do esporte de marca. Evidenciadas as orientações contidas na Base alinhavamos caminhos possíveis para que professores possam se subsidiar metodologicamente em seu planejamento pedagógico. Elencamos o Miniatletismo para o 1.º e 2.º anos do ensino fundamental e o modelo Ludotécnico para os 6.º e 7.º anos. As propostas alcançam meramente condição sugestiva, demandando alinhamento as práticas pedagógicas dos professores estruturadas em seus planejamentos, afinal os contextos escolares guardam especificidades que somente os docentes que nele convivem rotineiramente, são capazes de desvelar. Por fim, esperamos que o material seja útil as demandas de ensino que constantemente mobilizam a classe professoral, que apesar das condições de trabalho, não abdicam da responsabilidade de ensinar e também de aprender.

Estimating minimum post-mortem interval in a Nigerian murder case using Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Caliphoridae): The first use of forensic entomology
Authors: Ado-Baba Ahmed , Godwin Iko Ayuba
Published: May 2023

Introduction: This paper presents the first application of forensic entomology in a murder investigation in Nigeria involving the remains of a 54-years victim, on January 9th, 2019 in a shaded wooded area in advanced decomposition, with no clear indication of the time of death. Objectives: To estimate the minimum post-mortem interval of a 54-year-old corpse recovered in the advanced decomposition stage using the blowfly Chrysomya megacephala and the Advance-Degree-day (ADD) method. Results: An autopsy report revealed multiple wounds to the forehead including a bullet hole. Dead embalmed dead maggots recovered from the body were identified as C. megacephala, and an accumulated degree-day model was used to estimate the minimum post-mortem interval. The findings revealed that the recovered larvae were still within the third-instar stage and had accumulated thermal energy between 58 hours (= 1.6 days, equivalent to 38.7 ADD) and 102 hours (= 2.8 days, equivalent to 68.0 ADD), suggesting that the body may have been exposed to insect activity between January 1st and 9th January 2019 after expanding the range to cater for some uncertainties. Conclusion: In this Nigerian murder case, forensic entomology used the calliphorid species C. megacephala to estimate the minPMI to be between 2 and 9 days before the body was discovered, which translates to 1st - 9th January 2019 after consideration of some uncertainties and limitations. This confirmed the crucial role that insects play in providing valuable evidence to complement forensic pathological findings in homicides when conventional methods failed. Notwithstanding difficulties with employing insect evidence in forensic investigations in Nigeria, the application of this modern forensic technique has the potential to aid in the resolution of many unsolved murder cases and expedite the delivery of justice. The ability of law enforcement agencies in Nigeria to use the potential of insects in criminal investigations can be improved through collaborations and training with professionals from diverse professions.
