International experience of startup regulation
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, MAZUR Anastasiia
Published: October 2023

The international experience of regulating the development of startup entrepreneurship indicates that when creating effective models of interaction between state authorities (development of the legal framework, development programs, strategies), edu­cation (creation of an environment, for example, accelerators, incubators, development of a beta version based on higher education institutions, which promotes startups to enter the market) and business (funding of startups, involvement in corporations), the startup ecosystem has high indicators in world ratings. The purpose of the article is to highlight the components of the international experience of regulating the development of startups that are relevant to Ukraine. The methods applied are induc­tion, deduction, analysis, and systematization. Regu­lation of the development of startups at the mega level includes international clusters, international organizations, and developed countries of the world. It has been studied that the mega level includes three directions: legal, financial, and strategic. In the international environment, the "EU Startup Nations Standard" declarations signed in 2021 and laws on startups aimed at promoting the creation and deve­lopment of startups are of great importance. Interna­tional organizations influencing the development of startup entrepreneurship are divided by functional type and geographical scope of activity. The positive startup climate in the USA is formed through the following factors: Silicon Valley activity, flexible state regulation of this area, entrepreneurial culture, and way of thinking. Israelʼs experience reveals the need for financing research and development works. Germany and Austria have an efficiently built system of higher education. Among the directions for impro­ving the regulation of the development of startups in Ukraine, the following are highlighted: education – the creation of a center that will help startups to develop from the beginning of the emergence of an idea to the development of the first prototypes; security – financing of military and defense develop­ments, ecology – support for environmental startups that have the potential to expand globally, and the local ecosystem – state-region-city-community-startup.

Остеоартрит (ОА) є найбільш поширеним захворюванням суглобів та основною причиною порушення їх функції і інвалідності. Незважаючи на досягнення у вивченні патогенезу цього захворювання, лікування його досі залишається складним завданням. В наш час, як варіанти фармакологічного лікування ОА, для контролю болю та запалення застосовують нестероїдні протизапальні засоби (НПЗЗ), анальгетики, глюкокортикостероїди. Однак вони діють як симптоматичне лікування та мають високий ризик побічних ефектів Симптоматичні препарати повільної дії (SYSADOA) для лікування ОА не є швидкодіючими, такими як НПЗЗ і їхня клінічна ефективність щодо зменшення симптомів ОА може бути продемонстрована лише через кілька тижнів регулярного їх прийому. Проте при ОА вони не тільки зменшують біль у суглобах, а й уповільнюють прогресування захворювання. Одним із таких препаратів є хондроїтинсульфат – складний гетерогенний полісахарид, який має відмінний профіль безпеки. Саме хондроїтинсульфат і глюкозамін сульфатостаннім часом набули широкого використання як варіанти SYSADOA для лікування ОА. Вони діють як хондропротектори та/або як «ліки, що модифікують захворювання при ОА»,які полегшують біль та частково відновлюють функцію суглобів у пацієнтів з ОА, і таким чиномпроявляючи не лише симптоматичне лікування, а і вплив на патогенетичні ланки ОА. Хондроїтинсульфат знижує активність прозапальних цитокінів та фактору транскрипції, що беруть участь у запаленні. Глюкозамін сульфатпосилює специфічні компоненти матриксу хряща і запобігає дегенерації колагену в хондроцитах шляхом інгібування гідролітичних ферментів. Клінічні дослідження хондроїтинсульфату при лікуванні ОА показали, що він ефективний, безпечний та добре переноситься. Отже, використання препаратів SYSADOA знижує застосування кількості НПЗЗ при терапії ОА і, зменшує ризик розвитку побічної дії їх. Мета. Провести збір і аналіз літератури щодо терапевтичної ефективності симптоматичних препаратів повільної дії (SYSADOA) при лікуванні ОА. Методи. Пошук наукової інформації проведений в електронних базах PubMed, Google Scholar. Результати. Проведено огляд і аналіз літературищодотерапевтичної ефективності SYSADOA при лікуванні ОА. Висновки. Симптоматичні препарати повільної діїзменшують біль, скутість, функціональні обмеження при ОА та мають гарний профіль безпеки.

Published: October 2023

Висока цитотоксичність натуральних кіллерів є несприятливим фактором репродуктивного процесу. Вона як знижує імовірність імплантації, так і збільшує частоту завмирань вагітності першого триместру. Підходи до терапії високої NK-цитотоксичності (NKц), як і в цілому до терапії репродуктивних втрат, дискутуються вже більше 20 років і основною проблемою у цій дискусії є висока контраверсійність результатів, що отримується у різних клінічних групах. На нашу думку причиною таких розбіжностей є неврахування особливостей імунофентипу та гормонального статусу у поєднанні із клініко-анамнестичною рандомізацією. У цій роботі ми продемонструємоефективністьтакого підходу. Ретроспективно проаналізовані результати лікування комбінацією метилпреднізолон + інтравенозний імуноглобулін (ІВІГ) у 46 пацієнток із високою NK-цитотоксичністю та гіперандрогенним статусом, що мали у анамнезі звичайне невиношування вагітності.45 із 46 пацієнток народили здорову дитину, а показники NK-цитотоксичності у переважної більшості демонстрували високу чутливість до лікування.

Пектини – це природні гетерополісахариди, що входять до складу клітинної стінки вищих рослин. В промислових умовах пектини отримують з відходів виробництва фруктових соків, іноді з відходів виробництва бурякового цукру або рослинних олій. В раціоні середньостатистичного українця присутня достатня кількість овочів та фруктів що містить яблучний пектин. Метою даного огляду було узагальнити дані про структуру, фізико-хімічні властивості пектинів та проаналізувати інформацію щодо застосування яблучного пектину в медицині та фармації.
Health implications forecast for electronic cigarette users
Authors: Vysochyna I. L. , Yashkina T. O.
Published: October 2023

Electronic cigarettes have rapidly gained popularity in the tobacco market, primarily among young adults. Marketers exploit the lack of evidence regarding their health effects and label them as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes. Our study aims to expand the existing body of evidence on their impact on the human body. Objective: To identify the most significant characteristics of individuals using electronic cigarettes based on statistical analysis of clinical and laboratory examination data. Materials and Methods. The study included 102 participants (main group – 66 individuals using electronic cigarettes as an alternative form of smoking; control group – 36 individuals who did not use electronic or industrial cigarettes) aged 20 to 35 years. Each participant provided written informed consent to participate. Patient examinations included the following parameters: height, weight, body mass index (BMI) calculation; measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, pulse, and respiratory rate; throat swab collection. Results. According to our data, individuals in the main group had higher height, weight, and BMI values. A higher BMI may be associated with excessive stimulation of salivary glands and, consequently, increased gastric secretion and appetite stimulation. Electronic cigarette users had significantly higher blood pressure levels compared to the control group. Users of nicotine delivery systems in throat swabs had significantly higher levels of mucus, coccal flora, and neutrophil percentage, indicating the presence of bacterial agents in the oral cavity mucosa. This may be related to bacterial agents’ dissemination through nicotine delivery devices. We conducted multiple logistic regression analysis with potential patient characteristics. Conclusions. Electronic cigarette users are characterized by higher height, weight, BMI, blood pressure levels compared to non-smoking peers, as well as reduced adaptation potential and a prevalence of parasympathetic nervous system regulation. It was found that a typical electronic cigarette user is a male (OR = 15.9364) with reduced IFZ – adaptive potential of functional abilities (OR = 7.8128) and an abnormal amount of oral cavity flora (OR = 1.7748).
CONCEPÇÕES E PRÁTICAS AVALIATIVAS EM ATIVIDADES REMOTAS DIANTE DO CENÁRIO DE PANDEMIA DA COVID 19

Published: October 2023

Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as concepções e práticas avaliativas dos professores do curso de Licenciatura em Química do IFPE em atividades remotas, formas de superação e adaptação diante do retorno das aulas, no novo cenário da pandemia da COVID-19. O campo de pesquisa foram os professores do curso de Licenciatura em química do IFPE- Instituto federal de educação ciência e tecnologia Pernambuco, campus Vitória de Santo Antão. Para o desenvolvimento do plano de atividades, inicialmente, foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada, que continha onze questões destinadas aos professores. Essa entrevista tinha o intuito de identificar as concepções de avaliação dos professores de química. Após a coleta de dados, foi realizada a tabulação das respostas dos professores, e foi observado que ambos possuem uma visão muito semelhante acerca da maneira de avaliar um estudante. Essa forma de avaliar está ligada à maneira que o estudante compreende o conceito teórico de um determinado assunto, abordado em sala de aula, e consegue realizar uma conexão do mesmo com a experimentação realizada, com ênfase em despertar o senso crítico. Também foi realizada uma categorização com base nas quatro gerações de avaliação, segundo Guba e Lincoln (1989). Sendo assim, ainda na perspectiva dos professores, os estudantes possuem um papel de suma importância no processo de ensino e aprendizagem e a avaliação é um veículo para o alcance desse objetivo. Esses resultados dialogam com estudos feitos anteriormente. Ressalta-se, assim, a importância de aprofundamento nas questões avaliativas do ensino experimental da Química.

Essa pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa e o objetivo de analisar as estratégias de autogestão da aprendizagem desenvolvidas e vivenciadas pelos estudantes, tomando como base os processos avaliativos vivenciados. Para isso, inicialmente, foram diagnosticadas as percepções dos estudantes acerca dos processos avaliativos que vivenciam nas escolas, identificados os sentimentos que os processos avaliativos despertam nos estudantes e analisadas as estratégias de autogestão desenvolvidas pelos estudantes, após os resultados das avaliações. O campo de pesquisa foram quatro escolas da Rede Pública do Estado de Pernambuco e os participantes da pesquisa foram 161 estudantes do Ensino Médio dessas escolas. Foram realizados questionários com os estudantes com perguntas abertas. Esses dados foram categorizados e analisados de acordo com as Gerações da Avaliação (GUBA; LINCOLN, 1989). A pesquisa nos revelou um cenário bastante difícil nas escolas do Ensino Médio. O processo avaliativo tem sido compreendido pelos estudantes como momentos estantes em que são realizadas as provas ou os testes, com a finalidade de medir o que aprenderam, para separar os bons dos maus estudantes, significando um momento de dor, medo, tristeza, decepção, angustia, ou seja, longe de ter o objetivo de auxiliar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, de auxiliar os estudantes na autogestão da aprendizagem, entendendo suas potencialidades e lacunas, de acordo com as respostas dos estudantes, observamos que o sentimento de desconforto é geral aos métodos de avaliação e ressaltamos a importância de rever a formação dos professores, pois se os estudantes pensam a avaliação nessa perspectiva, então seus professores estão também com perspectivas avaliativas de Primeira ou Segunda Geração. É importante que sejam propostas novas formas de avaliação, que os estudantes entendam a sua necessidade para a aprendizagem.

Multiplexación de entradas para conexión de sensores PIR y magnéticos con salida
Authors: Montenegro Zambrano Hernán Darío , Chamorro Enríquez Jorge Andrés
Published: October 2023

Para un sistema de seguridad se requiere una conexión máxima de 32 sensores y mínimo ocho, entre los que se puede conectar sensores PIR o magnéticos, los cuales cuentan con dos pines de salida; uno de ellos emite una señal lógica si se detecta movimiento, en el caso del sensor PIR o, para el caso del sensor magnético, si detecta la apertura de una puerta o ventana. El otro pin, denominado TAMPER, emite una señal lógica alta permanentemente,que cambia a un estado bajo si se llega a manipular o cortar el cableado de los sensores, por lo que se requiere de dos pines de entrada por cada sensor,dando un total de 64 pines necesarios. El controlador que se utilizó tiene disponibles nueve pines con los cuales se debía lograr controlar los 32 sensores. Dado que el número de sensores a conectar era mayor al número de pines disponibles, como solución se recurrió al uso de multiplexores, los cuales tienen una gran familia, pero, debido a los requerimientos, se optó por utilizar multiplexores de ocho canales de entrada a una salida, haciendo uso de un total de ocho para conexión de los sensores. La selección de canales se realizó a través de tres pines digitales del controlador, que generaron una configuración binaria entre 0 y 7, realizando así el barrido por cada uno de los canales. Como cada sensor requería de dos canales, se configuró dos multiplexores en paralelo, los cuales estarían leyendo los pines del sensor al mismo tiempo, como si fueran un solo multiplexor. Los multiplexores cuentan con un pin denominado ‘enable’, el cual habilita o deshabilita el multiplexor, dependiendo del estado lógico. Para lograr el barrido del máximo de 32 sensores se necesitó cuatro pines del controlador, encargados de habilitar cada uno de los multiplexores. Para la salida del multiplexor fue preciso usar un pin de entrada en el controlador, que se encargó de capturar el estado lógico de la señal de los sensores y otro, de capturar la señal de TAMPER, dando así un total de nueve pines para lograr el control de los 32 sensores, cumpliendo los requerimientos y usando los recursos disponibles. Como cada dos multiplexores conectan ocho sensores, si no se requiere la conexión de más de ocho, solo se usará dos multiplexores y el código de programación del controlador funcionará sin ningún problema.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Authentic kefir originates from the Caucasus mountains of Eastern Europe and is a fermented milk product made from kefir grains. Authentic kefir contains lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria and yeasts which provides kefir with numerous health benefits such as anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic and anti-allergic properties. Nigella sativa is a plant known by many regional names such as black cumin and black carraway. Seeds from the plant are processed to produce black seed oil. Black seed oil has many potential health benefits such as antibacterial and antifungal capabilities. In countries including Turkey and India, black seed oil is commonly added to kefir or yogurt. The purpose of this study was to determine if different concentrations of black seed oil would negatively impact beneficial kefir microorganisms when consumers mix black seed oil into kefir.  Results: Black seed oil concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, 1% and 5% were added to milk with kefir grains and incubated. Each mixture was tested for pH, Lactobacillus spp., Lactococcus spp., yeast, and coliform microbial counts. Results indicated that the pH and microbial counts of the control (0%) and 0.1% black seed oil samples were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The pH and microbial count results of 1% black seed oil in kefir indicated slight although not significant inhibition (P > 0.05) as compared to the control and 0.1% black seed oil. The pH and microbial counts of 5% black seed oil were significantly different (P < 0.05) from the other samples indicating inhibition of the kefir microorganisms.Conclusion:Black seed oil inhibited kefir microorganism when added at the rate of 5%.Keywords: Kefir, Black Seed Oil, Lactobacillus spp., Lactococcus spp., Yeast, Probiotic
„All Captains of His Majesty”. The Quarter Army between 1589–1591
Authors: Pieńkowski Maciej
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the strength and functioning of the quarter army (pol. wojsko kwarciane) between 1589–1591. At the time in question a large Tatar inva- sion was in progress, which resulted in the rapid enlargement of the entire Crown army. Huge tax increases were introduced due to the prospect of an offensive war against the Ottoman Empire. The rapidly expanding army did not receive its due pay, leading to the first army confederation (pol. konfederacja wojskowa) in his- tory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Consequently, there was a reduction of the quarter army.

Authors: Jiang Hui , Cui Junfu , Liu Yang
Published: October 2023

Effective evaluation of corporate credit risk is the key to prevent systemic financial risk. In this paper, 25 financial indicators are selected from the company’s solvency, operating ability, profitability and growth ability to construct a credit evaluation system, and the KMV-CART decision tree model is constructed, and then the validity of the KMV-CART decision tree is empirically examined based on the data of 620 companies. The empirical results show that the overall prediction accuracy based on the KMV-CART decision tree model reaches 87.7%, which is better than 82% of the traditional CART decision tree model and 79.3% of the CHAID decision tree model. It shows that the KMV-CART decision tree model can effectively improve the accuracy of credit risk prediction by adding the non-financial indicator of default distance calculated based on the KMV model to the traditional financial indicator system.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of strategies that use telehealth, telemedicine, mobile applications, and text messages for overweight and obese adult health care. Methods: In this rapid review of systematic reviews (SRs), nine databases were searched in November 2020 and again in February 2022. Methodological quality of the SRs was assessed using Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR 2). Results: 19 SRs were included, classified as high-confidence (one), low-confidence (six), and critically low-confidence (twelve). Weight loss most often showed favorable results, followed by changes in body mass index (BMI), while for the reduction in waist circumference, the results were similar between interventions and comparators. Studies on eating habits and physical activities changes showed nonsignificant results or an advantage of face-to-face activities over electronic applications. The reduction in body fat and treatment adherence presented favorable results with cell phone applications. There is no reporting regarding the safety of the interventions. Conclusions: Interventions through computer applications, online tools, text messages, and telehealth can have positive effects on weight reduction, BMI, and body fat. Conclusions should be interpreted with caution, due to the methodological quality of the included SRs and the other limitations of this rapid review.

Infrastruktur di Indonesia berkembang sangat pesat, hal ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menunjang kemajuan perekonomian di Indonesia.Salah satu infrastruktur yang dibangun yaitu Jalan Layang XYZ. Proyek ini memiliki nilai kontrak sebesar Rp. 149.394.103.000,- dan durasi pekerjaan selama 330 hari (46 minggu), dengan adanya batasan waktu dan biaya tersebut diperlukan pengendalian yang baik dan matang. Progress yang berjalan hingga penelitian ini dibuat telah mencapai minggu ke-37 dengan progress realisasi sebesar 71,847%, sedangkan progress rencana pada minggu ke-37 sebesar 80,422% dengan deviasi antara progress rencana dan progress realisasi sebesar -8,574%. Deviasi tersebut disebabkan oleh ketergantungan antara pekerjaan satu dengan yang lain yang sangat kompleks sehingga tidak jarang menyebabkan keterlambatan proyek dan pengendalian menjadi rumit.  Berdasarkan hasil analisisdan pembahasan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa volume realisasi berdasarkan progress realisasi dan volume realisasi berdasarkan AHSP memiliki nilai yang sama, Hal ini menunjukan bahwa faktor-faktor keterbatasan lahan yang mempengaruhi efisiensi alat, padatnya volume lalu lintas di sekitar daerah lokasi proyeksehingga dapat menghambat mobilisasi alat, waktu operasi (waktu siklus) alat berat yang dibutuhkan operator lebih lama dari yang direncanakan, serta penurunan jam efektif kerja karena pekerja membutuhkan waktu persiapan untuk melaksanakan pekerjaanmenjadi faktor penyebab terjadinya deviasi antara kurva S rencana dengan kurva S realisasi.  Faktor-faktor lain penyebabterjadinya keterlambatan berdasarkan hasil wawancara di lapangan antara lain; a) keterlambatan dalam penyediaan alat berat launcher untuk erection girder yang mengakibatkan mundurnya pelaksanaan pekerjaan erection girder serta pekerjaan pemancangan oprit jalan layang sebelah barat, b) perubahan design konstruksi dikarenakan jenis kontrak pada proyek ini merupakan design and built di mana kondisi lokasi yang telah ditetapkan pada kontrak tidak dijelaskan secara spesifik sehingga terdapat perbedaan kondisi dengan realita di lapangan, serta c) perubahan pada gambar kerja karena menyesuaikan kondisi di lapangan, sehingga dalam pelaksanaannya menyebabkan pekerjaan konstruksi menjadi terhambat

Authors:   University of Finance-Marketing, Ho Thuy Tien
Published: October 2023

This study aims to evaluate the spillover effects between the foreign exchange rate markets of ASEAN-5 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) using the spillover index proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz (2014). The results indicate that price spillovers between exchange rate markets are relatively low and tend to increase during recent crises, including COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. This implies that crises have caused price contagion effects. Due to their reliance on the markets in Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia, the forex markets in Indonesia and Thailand will not be viewed as safe havens to hedge. These spillover effects reveal that price shocks significantly impact the ASEAN-5 markets, which means that there is a contagion risk in the currency markets. These findings have crucial implications for investors and policymakers dealing with currency markets, such as predicting portfolio market risk and identifying the existence of the diversification benefits of exchange rate markets.

Intravenous Iron Therapy in Severe Anemia at 28-34 Weeks of Gestation and it’s Feto-Maternal Outcome- A Prospective Study from A Developing Country
Authors: Sharma Sangeeta , Sharma Naresh
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional deficiency in pregnancy. Anemia results in poor pregnancy outcome and also affects fetal outcome. This study was undertaken to evaluate the response of intravenous iron given to pregnant women with severe IDA and their feto-maternal outcome.

Methodology: A prospective study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, at a tertiary care centre of Northern India. Fifty-two pregnant women with haemoglobin between 5-7 g% with diagnosed iron deficiency attending antenatal clinic were given intravenous iron complex Follow-up after 4 weeks was done and IDA specific blood profile was done at baseline and at follow-up. Feto-maternal outcomes were seen at delivery.

Results: The mean age of study population was 25.5 ± 3.96 yrs. Improvement at 4 week follow-up from baseline in hemoglobin (p value-0.001) and iron profiles (S. Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), S. Ferritin) (p value -0.0001) were highly significant. On comparing the Hb levels at delivery after intravenous infusion at 28-34 weeks gestation, 17 patients were still below 8 gm%, whereas 35 were above 8 gm%. Distribution of IUGR, preterm labor and blood transfusion in postpartum period were statistically significant amongst both group (p value<0.05). Fetal outcomes were also evaluated amongst the 2 groups. Distribution of Preterm birth, birth weight and NICU admission was also statistically significant (p value<0.05).

Conclusion: The intravascular iron therapy definitely has a rapid increase in haemoglobin which can prevent the complications due to severe anaemia in pregnancy and blood transfusion can also be prevented, but iron stores are not replenished to the optimum level, so there is a need to give replacement therapy (by oral route) post transfusion for long term benefits. The rise of hemoglobin affects feto-maternal outcomes even in the last trimester.contrast agents. This is a first case report of AHCM portrayed by this ingenious technology.

Published: October 2023

Tumor cells endure continuous DNA replication stress, which opens the way to cancer development. Despite previous research, the prognostic implications of DNA replication stress on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have yet to be investigated. Here, we aimed to investigate the potential of DNA replication stress-related genes (DNARSs) in predicting the prognosis of individuals with LUAD. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) originated from the TCGA-LUAD dataset, and we constructed a 10-gene LUAD prognostic model based on DNARSs-related DEGs (DRSDs) using Cox regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated excellent predictive capability for the LUAD prognostic model, while the Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated a poorer prognosis in a high-risk (HR) group. Combined with clinical data, the Riskscore was found to be an independent predictor of LUAD prognosis. By incorporating Riskscore and clinical data, we developed a nomogram that demonstrated a capacity to predict overall survival and exhibited clinical utility, which was validated through the calibration curve, ROC curve, and decision curve analysis curve tests, confirming its effectiveness in prognostic evaluation. Immune analysis revealed that individuals belonging to the low-risk (LR) group exhibited a greater abundance of immune cell infiltration and higher levels of immune function. We calculated the immunopheno score and TIDE scores and tested them on the IMvigor210 and GSE78220 cohorts and found that individuals categorized in the LR group exhibited a higher likelihood of deriving therapeutic benefits from immunotherapy intervention. Additionally, we predicted that patients classified in the HR group would demonstrate enhanced sensitivity to Docetaxel using anti-tumor drugs. To summarize, we successfully developed and validated a prognostic model for LUAD by incorporating DNA replication stress as a key factor.

Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten, verschiedene Inhalte auf allen Bildungsebenen zu unterrichten. Durch Robotik können verschiedene formale Komponenten verstanden werden. Mathematik, Physik und Programmiersprache sind in der Regel die Bereiche, in denen Robotik am meisten eingesetzt wird. Dies hindert jedoch nicht daran, dass auch Fächer wie Geografie, Kunst, portugiesische Sprache und Biologie, unter anderem, dieses Instrument nutzen können. Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, wie die Bildungsrobotik als Lehrmittel in den Kernfächern, insbesondere in der beruflichen und technischen Bildung (EPT) in Brasilien, zwischen 2017 und 2022 verwendet wird, zu identifizieren. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine integrative Überprüfung der Rolle der Robotik als Begleiter in der Lehrmethodik für berufliche Bildungsfächer in Brasilien, mit Schwerpunkt auf Amapá, in der Google Scholar-Datenbank im angegebenen Zeitraum durchgeführt. Es zeigt sich, dass Robotik, wenn sie im Unterricht richtig eingesetzt wird, den Schülern ein signifikantes Lernen ermöglicht und sie zu Protagonisten dieses Prozesses werden lässt. Die Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis in kontextbezogenem Unterricht ermöglicht es den Schülern, anspruchsvolle Experimente durchzuführen, die ihr Wissen und ihre ganzheitliche Bildung bereichern.

Il existe plusieurs façons d’enseigner différents contenus à n’importe quel niveau éducatif. Grâce à la robotique, différents composants formels peuvent être compris. Les domaines dans lesquels la robotique est le plus utilisée sont généralement les mathématiques, la physique et la programmation. Cela n’empêche pas des matières comme la géographie, les arts, la langue portugaise et la biologie, entre autres, d’utiliser cet outil. L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier comment la robotique éducative est utilisée comme un outil d’enseignement dans les matières du tronc commun, en mettant l’accent sur l’Éducation Professionnelle et Technologique (EPT) au Brésil, entre 2017 et 2022. À cette fin, une revue intégrative de l’influence de la robotique en tant que complément de la méthodologie d’enseignement des matières de l’enseignement professionnel au Brésil a été réalisée, avec un accent particulier sur l’Amapá, dans la base de données de Google Scholar, sur la période indiquée. On peut en conclure que la robotique, lorsqu’elle est utilisée correctement dans l’enseignement, est un outil technologique qui permet aux élèves d’acquérir un apprentissage significatif, les rendant acteurs de leur propre apprentissage. L’alignement entre la théorie et la pratique dans des cours contextualisés offre aux étudiants des expériences stimulantes qui enrichissent leurs connaissances et leur formation intégrale.
