The study determined the impact of Rosmarinus officinalis and/or Zingiberene officinalis essential oil (EO) on milk yield, composition, milk fatty acids profile, blood biochemicals, and rumen fermentation in dairy cows. Twenty-eight Holstein lactating cows were distributed into four groups using a completely randomized block design in a 70-d experiment. The control diet consisted of 13 kg of concentrate and 40 kg of fresh berseem clover per head per day, without supplementation. In the other treatments, the control diet was supplemented with 10 mL of EO per head per day, using either ginger EO (GEO treatment), rosemary (REO treatment) EO or a blend of both at a 1:1 v/v ratio (BEO treatment). Supplementation did not affect intake, milk production, or composition. Omega-n3 and omega-n5 were increased with REO (p < 0.05) compared to the control. Both REO and BEO decreased (p = 0.003) serum globulin and increased (p < 0.005) albumin to globulin ratio, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total lipid. Serum total antioxidant capacity was increased (p ˂ 0.001) with the supplementation, without affecting glucose, total protein, albumin, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and urea concentrations. In conclusion, supplementing Holstein dairy cows with GEO and/ or REO increased the level of omega-3 and omega-5 fatty acids while reduced saturated fatty acids in milk, without affecting feed intake, milk production or milk composition.

The synthesis of CoMo/USY catalysts has been widely carried out. However, the bond strength between metal and USY is still a problem. Therefore, this research has synthesised the catalyst with the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Apart from that, the effect of pH on the characteristics of the catalyst is also reviewed. This research aims to analyse the effect of preparation pH on catalyst characteristics. In the preparation process, the pH of the solution is set at values of 2, 7, and 8. Catalyst activation includes a calcination process and reduction. The catalyst characterisation uses XRD, GSA, and FTIR instruments to determine phase composition, specific surface area, and functional groups. The result showed that pH preparation significantly influenced the metal loading on the catalyst and reached a maximum at pH 8. The surface area is not directly related to the pH of the preparation but has the opposite property depending on the amount of metal added. Meanwhile, it was found that the CoO and MoO3 phases were achieved on the catalyst by all pH preparations. On the other hand, the CoMo alloys are present on the catalyst at pH 7 and 8, while the Co and Mo elements are visible at pH 2. The difference in pH during the synthesis process impacts the shift in the absorption wave number of the OH vibration.

Activated carbon from waste tires is used as MnO2 metal oxide doping in making MnO2/C-based nanocomposites into high-density and environmentally friendly supercapacitor electrodes. The MnO2/C nanocomposite synthesis process was carried out using the hydrothermal method by varying the mass of activated carbon by 1.25 g, 2.5 g and 3.75 g to determine the optimum results. Based on the results of research that has been carried out, it shows that MnO2/C can be used as a high density supercapacitor electrode. This is in accordance with the XRD test results which show that the MnO2 nanocomposite with the addition of C was successfully synthesized and has an orthorhombic crystalline phase. The SEM test results show that the material has almost the same morphology, namely many protrusions which make each particle have high roughness. The most optimal results were obtained from the MnO2/C-50 variation because it has the highest C element content, namely 39.93%, so it has the highest capacitance value of 5.791 f/g during the CV test. The GCD test shows that electrodes with a carbon variation of 2.5 g have a much longer and constant charge-discharge measurement time. In the EIS test, this variation shows a resistance value that is not too high and not too small, materials that have good storage capacity or capacity have moderate resistance.
Efek Pendoping Nd3+ Pada Senyawa BaBi2-xNdxNb2O9 Terhadap Struktur, Sifat Dielektrik Dan Optik
Authors: Zulhadjri Zulhadjri , Hermansyah Tommy , Septiani Upita
Published: October 2024

The Aurivillius compound with formula BaBi2-xNdxNb2O9 (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4) has been successfully synthesized using the molten salt method, showing potential as a ferroelectric material. The impact of Nd3+ substitution on the structure, morphology, dielectric, and optical properties has been systematically analyzed. XRD data refinement confirms that BaBi2-xNdxNb2O9 (BBNN) exhibits an orthorhombic structure with an A21am space group. Anisotropic plate-like grains were observed across all samples, decreasing their size as Nd3+ content increases. The ferroelectric transition temperature (Tc) decreases due to structural distortion caused by the reduction of the lone pair 6s2 electron effect of Bi3+ when substituted with Nd3+. Moreover, this structural distortion also contributes to an increase in bandgap energy (Eg). The diffuse ferroelectric phase transition is characterized by a broadened Tc peak induced by Nd3+ substitution due to increased cationic disruption in the bismuth layers. The ferroelectric phase with a lower and broader Tc suggests that the x = 0.4 sample has the potential for electrocaloric applications.

Published: October 2024

Isolation is a method of obtaining pure secondary metabolite compounds from plant extracts, which provide benefits such as health, medicine, cosmetics, and agriculture. This research has been carried out and aims to isolate the secondary metabolite compound from the hexane extract of the kelakai stems (Stenochlaena palustris). Phytochemical screening of that extract resulted in a positive-containing steroid. The isolation method includes the separation of hexane extract with column chromatography using silica gel as the stationary phase and eluted successively with hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate (step gradient polarity). The column chromatography of the hexane extract resulted in five fractions (H1–H5). Furthermore, fraction H3 was purified to obtain a white needle crystal. The isolated compound spot is invisible in thin-layer chromatography (KLT) under an ultraviolet lamp at 254 nm and 365 nm wavelengths. The isolated compound structure was elucidated by proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectroscopy (MS), as well as comparisons with literature data. The isolated compound is a group of steroids identified as β-sitosterol with the molecular formula C29H50O.

Published: October 2024

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii) is a herbal plant from Indonesia which is widely used in cooking, cosmetics and medicine. Cinnamon bark isolate is thought to contain compounds with the structure of isoquinoline which are known to be used as antimalarials. The aim of this study was to examine the potential antimalarial activity of extracts and fractions of cinnamon bark hydrodistillation residue based on the % inhibition and IC50 value. These results will also be compared with extracts and fractions of cinnamon bark without hydrodistillation as controls. The test method is carried out in vitro by heme polymerization inhibitor. The test results showed that the n-hexane fraction, DCM fraction did not have inhibitory activity, while the ethyl acetate fraction had better potential than other extracts and fractions, where the ethyl acetate fraction after hydrodistillation (residue) had an IC50 value of 71.84 µg/mL, while the ethyl acetate fraction without hydrodistillation (control) had an IC50 value of 120.05 µg/mL. This result is better than hydroxychloroquine as positive control which has an IC50 value of 184.98 µg/mL. These results indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction from the hydrodistillation residue of cinnamon bark can be utilized and has potential as an antimalarial.

Background and Objective

Maternal mortality remains extremely high in fragile settings, with hemorrhage as the leading cause. This study describes a new model for more effective training on postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) prevention and treatment.

Methods

Using a low-dose (of information) and high-frequency (of repetitions) approach (LDHF), the strategy comprised an introductory webinar, self-paced study, 2-day in-person workshops, cascade training, continuous facility-based skills drills, and a WhatsApp community of practice and supervision (CoP). Innovations consisted of the practical, midwifery-centered, and short-duration training, and the integration of tranexamic acid (TXA) and heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) into existing modules from the “Bleeding-After-Birth-Complete” toolkit. Effects were assessed through mixed-methods evaluation. Confidentiality and “do-not-harm” principles were respected.

Results

Nine training sessions were conducted in South Sudan and Uganda combined, engaging 126 participants. Average knowledge increases of 21% in South Sudan and 18% in Uganda were recorded. Feedback also indicated changes in practices and attitudes: enhanced competency, teamwork, clinical protocols adherence, appreciation for midwife-led practical sessions, the LDHF method, and continuous support through the WhatsApp CoP. In post-workshop action plans, facility teams outlined steps to apply acquired knowledge and skills. These included training colleagues, establishing quality improvement projects, conducting skill drills, ensuring job aid visibility, and systematically reporting on PPH in the data collection templates of the facilities.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications

This case study highlights the value of a practical, LDHF refresher training strategy. This strategy bolstered providers’ skills, knowledge, and confidence in using HSC and TXA for PPH prevention and treatment. Findings can guide future training in similar fragile, low-resource, and humanitarian settings. Strengthening midwifery leadership, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and using the LDHF training approach can contribute to resilient health systems and taskforce, aligning with global efforts to reduce maternal mortality.
Postpartum Hemorrhage in Humanitarian Settings: Implementation Insights from Using Heat-Stable Carbetocin and Tranexamic Acid

Published: October 2024

Background and Objective

Maternal mortality, largely due to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), remains high in resource-limited and crisis-affected settings, where heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) and tranexamic acid (TXA) offer promise for PPH prevention and treatment but lack evidence. This study, implemented in basic maternity facilities within humanitarian settings, explores healthcare providers’ perspectives on an HSC and TXA-inclusive PPH intervention package and related operational challenges and facilitators.

Methods

Based on semi-structured interview guides and using thematic analysis, this qualitative research, through 13 focus group discussions and individual interviews, investigated the perspectives of 64 healthcare staff (mostly midwives) from eight basic emergency obstetric care facilities in South Sudanese and Ugandan settings hosting large numbers of forcibly displaced populations. The PPH intervention package comprised refresher training, an online provider community, PPH readiness kits, alarm bells, and displayed algorithms.

Results

Findings from both countries converged, highlighting providers’ positive views on HSC and TXA. HSC effectiveness in preventing bleeding was acknowledged, bolstering staff’s confidence in its use. TXA was perceived as effective although providers reported having less experience with it due to the limited number of PPH cases. Enabling factors included the ease of administration, practical training, endorsement by national and local authorities, and the absence of a cold chain requirement. Appreciation was given to the WhatsApp community of practice as it facilitated knowledge exchange, quality improvement projects that enhanced PPH diagnosis, and innovative tools like wall clocks to record the timing of clinical actions and bells to call for assistance. Challenges included confusion between new and existing medications and record systems that inadequately capture HSC, TXA, and other PPH indicators.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications

HSC and TXA integrated into a PPH intervention package were overall positively valued by providers in humanitarian settings. Continued education and support are crucial. Addressing challenges like medication confusion underscores the need for ongoing education and clear guidelines for the use of HSC, TXA, oxytocin, and other drugs for PPH prevention and treatment. Our findings stress the importance of a comprehensive strategy to overcome health system barriers in PPH management, potentially improving maternal health outcomes in resource-limited and fragile contexts, with broader global implications.

Published: October 2024

Для повышения эффективности выполнения работ по защите информации в организации предложено использовать бюджетный фонд, в котором накапливаются, а затем расходуются необходимые финансовые средства. В условиях неопределенности интервалы времени по расходам и сами расходы являются случайными величинами, которые при моделировании нужно описывать вероятностными моделями. Проведено исследование о влиянии видов вероятностных моделей и значений их числовых характеристик на показатели эффективности работ, выполняемых сотрудниками службы информационной безопасности организации, обслуживающих корпоративную информационную систему. Показателями эффективности являются вероятность «обнуления» бюджетного фонда и коэффициент вариации, которые при дискретно-имитационном моделировании заменяются точечными и интервальными оценками. Получены практические рекомендации.

Часто возникает необходимость интеграции PLM-системы (Product Lifecycle Management) и сторонней информационной системы, не входящей в состав комплекса PLM, но участвующей в решении задач, связанных с информационной поддержкой управления производственными процессами. На данный момент задачу такой интеграции выполняет аналитик. Он должен сформировать структурную и процессную модели интегрируемой ИС, на основе которых формируются правила взаимодействия с системой. В процессе эксплуатации, помимо аналитика, участвует оператор (выполняет задачу поддержания актуальности данных, как интегрируемой ИС, так и всего комплекса) и лицо, принимающее решение (ЛПР) (выполняет процесс управления интегрируемой ИС, а именно поддержание её в работоспособном состоянии). Предлагается подход, позволяющий снизить нагрузку как на аналитика, обеспечивающего настройку взаимодействия и отображения данных, так и на оператора, участвующего в обеспечении актуальности структур данных, и ЛПР, участвующего в принятии важных решений, связанных с возможными рисками на производстве.

On the Metaphysics of Relation-Response Properties
Authors: Smith Spencer
Published: October 2024

Certain properties of great interest to philosophers—e.g., blameworthiness, praiseworthiness, desirability, etc.—appear on the basis of their standard English forms of designation to have relation-response structure. In other words, each such property appears on the basis of its standard English forms of designation to be a relational property of a certain sort, namely, the property of standing in a given relation to a given type of response. This presents a question: When we set out to theorize any such property, how seriously ought we to take the linguistic appearances? This paper defends an answer, namely: “Seriously.” In other words, we ought only to provide analyses of such properties that are faithful to their standard English forms of designation. This thesis is controversial: a number of philosophers of blameworthiness, for instance, seem to violate it outright, whereas other such philosophers—most notably, Justin D’Arms and Daniel Jacobson and David Shoemaker—have argued that its violation follows from a popular combination of views about the natures of certain such properties. In the paper, I defend faithfulness against these latter arguments, and I endeavor to clarify the role that faithfulness plays (and ought to play) in recent debates about the natures of certain value properties.
Rationality and Responding to Normative Reasons
Authors: Safaei Mohamad Hadi
Published: October 2024

My aim in this paper is to show that the reasons-responsiveness theory of rationality fails to explain the intuitive irrationality of practical akrasia. First, I argue that the best explanation for the distinction between acting in accordance with a normative reason and responding to that reason involves appealing to one’s competence or knowledge about how to respond to that reason. Nevertheless, one might possess practical competence to respond to her decisive practical reasons to perform an action, without having the parallel theoretical competence to rationally believe, through deliberation, that she has decisive reason to perform that action. If possessing a normative reason is a matter of having the ability to respond to that reason, and responding to a reason is grounded in facts about manifesting one’s competence about how to respond to that reason, then the mismatch between one’s practical and theoretical competences may give rise to a normative mismatch between one’s possessed reasons for action and one’s possessed reasons for what to believe about her reasons for action. In this case, there would be possible situations where one possesses decisive reasons to perform an action ⱷ, but lacks sufficient reasons to believe that she has decisive reasons to ⱷ. In those situations, the reasons-responsiveness theory requires one to act against her own normative judgment about what she ought to do. I conclude by considering whether it could be rationally permissible to act against one’s own normative judgment about what one ought to do if one’s reasons for action diverge from one’s reasons for a certain judgment about what one ought to do.
Educational Justice and the Value of Excellence
Authors: Harel Ben Shahar Tammy
Published: October 2024

Developing educational excellence is a goal espoused by education systems. Yet despite its universal endorsement, philosophers have not given sufficient attention to questions such as: Why is excellence good? For whom is it good? And is the value it generates different in nature or in importance from the value generated by developing low or average abilities? This paper examines the instrumental and noninstrumental value of excellence, aiming to contribute to the scholarship of educational justice by elucidating the value of excellence and the tension between developing it and meeting the needs of students with lower levels of ability.

Published: October 2024

Despite the importance of physical activity indicators and their decisive influence on public health indicators, no studies have been conducted on the impact of health determinants, including economic ones, on physical activity indicators. The purpose of the study is to analyze the fact and degree of influence of economic factors as a component of lifestyle on physical activity indicators. Materials and methods of research. The individual economic characteristics of patients were considered as the object of the study. Since the normality of the distribution for quantitative features, as a rule, was not observed, a nonparametric criterion was used to assess the differences 2 and the nonparametric analogue of the correlation coefficient is the association coefficient. Approaches to the identification and measurement of the economic determinant of public health were described in detail earlier [24, 25]. The size of the real random sample was 1400 respondents. The average age of respondents of working age in the general sample was 39.7 years. As criteria of physical activity, subjective characteristics of physical activity given by the respondents themselves, the fact of performing physical exercises, and attitude to active recreation were used. Results. The use of complex (composite) features characterizing a person's financial situation and economic well-being makes it possible to identify differences in behavioral patterns regarding subjective perceptions of the level of physical activity among the working-age population. The influence of economic factors (determinants) is manifested in a decrease in the level of physical activity and a greater proportion of those who have low and very low levels of physical activity according to their own ideas, a more frequent negative attitude towards physical exercise among respondents with a low level of material security. However, the subjective attitude towards active recreation was positive for the majority of respondents, regardless of their level of material well-being.

Relevance: The adhesive activity of the oral microbiome to new generation materials is the subject of study by the global medical community, and the issue of choosing structural materials is still being discussed in the scientific community and is of a controversial nature. Objective: To study the adhesion of representatives of the oral microbiome to samples of modern dental materials under experimental conditions (in vitro). Materials and methods: Samples of photopolymer resins for 3D printing: Dental Crown LCD, Dental Sand A1-A2, Dental Clear Pro, (n=30), (1-3 groups), thermoforming plates for vacuum forming: EV Gasket Bleaching 080, Bioplast multicolor 3.0*123 mm, Bioplast color 3.0*125 mm (n=30), (groups 4-6); clinical isolates of the microbiome as test strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus oralis, Neisseria subflava, Actinomyces oris, Candida albicans (n=5). Research methods: experimental, microbiological, cultural, analytical and statistical. Results: The degree of adhesion of representatives of the oral microbiome to the studied structural materials is in the range from 0 to 4.91 (Ia) and depends on both the species composition of the microbiome and the physico-chemical properties of the materials. The high adhesion index for all microbiota groups was noted for vacuum forming materials (4.91), and the lowest was Dental Crown LCD (0), which makes it possible to recommend it for practical use. Conclusions: The choice of structural material should be made, including taking into account the adhesive activity of the oral microbiome in order to reduce the risk of complications. It is recommended to give preference to materials with a low adhesive activity index.

PHILOSOPHICAL IMPORTANCE OF YAGYA
Authors: Khari Neetanjali
Published: October 2024

The word Yagya is derived from Sanskrit root ‘Yaj’ with suffix ‘Nad’, which literally means worship of God, association and charity.1 This etymological meaning proves that the act by which inanimate and conscious Gods, inanimate objects and things are donated is called Yagya. The act by which the desired thing is achieved, the desire is fulfilled is the same act.
On the basis of Maharishi Panini’s explanation of Yagya, Pandit Budhdev Vidyalankar has defined Yagya and written that – the works done for the welfare of the community by becoming a part of the community are called Yagya.2 The commentator of Amarakosha has given the etymological meaning of the word Yagya that the Yagya which is performed, the means by which Yagya is performed is Yagya.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SHADGUNYA
Authors: Sharma Deepika
Published: October 2024

Ancient Indian thinkers have discussed various topics related to political science in a comprehensive and subtle way. Shadgunya is an ancient Indian concept, which means a collection of six qualities. This concept is found in various philosophies and religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Shadgunya originated in ancient India. At that time, this concept was found in the Vedas and Upanishads. In the Vedas, Shadgunya was known as "Shadripu", which means six enemies (lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, and envy). In the Upanishads, Shadgunya was known as "Shadvikas", which means six developments (dhyana, prajna, virya, kshaanti, shiil, and santosh).
TRANSCENDING THE WESTERN PARADIGMS: RECLAIMING THE INDIAN TEXTS THROUGH ‘COSMOCAL PREADING’
Authors: Anshuman Praveen Kumar
Published: October 2024

Indian classical literature, embodying millennia of cultural, spiritual, and philosophical wisdom, remains a cornerstone of the subcontinent’s intellectual tradition. However, the approach to reading and interpreting these texts has often been marred by modernist distortions and pedagogical limitations, which obscure their true essence. This paper seeks to explore the multifaceted richness of Indian classical literature, examining the pedagogical pitfalls and proposing alternative approaches—such as "Cosmocal Preading"—to effectively engage with these texts. By critiquing Eurocentric paradigms that define modernity and emphasizing the epistemological framework rooted in Indian cosmology, this research aims to establish a more holistic, multidimensional understanding of Indian classics. Furthermore, the paper discusses how terms like Dharma, Karma, and rebirth, crucial to texts like the Mahābhārata, must be understood within their own cultural and philosophical contexts rather than through reductive or misaligned frameworks. This article thus advocates for the re-education of both readers and scholars on how to approach classical texts in a way that honors their intended depth and universality.
GANDHI AMBEDKAR DEBATE
Authors: T Suchithra , K S Girija
Published: October 2024

The present paper intends to explore the divergent perspectives and paths of Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi and Dr B R Ambedkar on different socio-political issues of Indian Society.  Before Independence, Outsiders (Aliens, British People) ruled India. Gandhi was afraid of our own people ruling like outsiders (alienation of administration) after Independence.  However, in the light of the present context Gandhi's fear has come true. On the other side Dr. B R Ambedkar strongly believed in State power and a strong legal system. Catastrophically the dreams of Dr B R Ambedkar on social economic equality remains a myth. To understand the dynamics of two variant discourses of Gandhi and Dr B R Ambedkar and to follow both Gandhi and Ambedkar Principles are essential. Both ideas of Gandhi Ambedkar together bring a better order in India. People not only from the East but also from western world are inspired by Gandhian Principles of Truth and Non-Violence. The people of the world consider Ambedkar as an icon for Equality. Ideas of both Gandhi and Ambedkar could generate political consciousness among socially marginalized groups. Though both Gandhi and Ambedkar had different ideas and Concepts, and followed different paths both wanted to reform Indian society in general and Hindu Society in particular. Gandhi was influenced by Dr B R Ambedkar. At one point of time Gandhi wanted to fight for the cause of untouchables.

The introduction of information technology (IT) in healthcare has led to a real revolution in the provision and management of medical care. However, they are developing with different intensity in different countries. The purpose of the study was to test criteria to determine the degree of IT development in healthcare, as well as to illustrate the assessment of IT development in different countries to compare them with each other. To achieve this goal, we have identified a set of criteria covering key aspects of the implementation and use of IT in medical practice. We searched information on the level of IT development in healthcare in the countries in Google open sources and PubMed databases manually, as well as using GPT-3.5 Turbo. According to the availability and development of criteria, the degree of IT development in healthcare was assessed and the categories «Highly», «Medium» and «Less» developed were assigned.
O DIAGNÓSTICO TARDIO DO TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA COMO UM RECURSO TERAPÊUTICO
Authors: Rocha Sabrina Andrade , Farinha Marciana Gonçalves
Published: October 2024

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é um distúrbio do neurodesenvolvimento que envolve principalmente déficits de interação social e comunicação. No entanto, atualmente se reconhece a heterogeneidade desse transtorno e como alguns indivíduos que na infância não apresentaram atraso no desenvolvimento cognitivo e/ou atraso no desenvolvimento da linguagem podem não serem diagnosticados. O diagnóstico de transtorno autístico ainda é complexo, fundamentalmente clínico e envolve uma equipe multidisciplinar. O objetivo desse estudo foi buscar compreender se o diagnóstico do transtorno do espectro autista na idade adulta (diagnóstico tardio) pode contribuir como um recurso terapêutico para os indivíduos que se encaixam nesse recorte.

Published: October 2024

Nota-se que nas recentes transformações educacionais os Objetos Digitais de Aprendizagem (ODA) desempenham um papel importante na melhoria do processo educativo. Sendo a pesquisa, de natureza básica, descritiva e exploratória, trata-se de um estudo de caso, onde adotou-se uma abordagem qualitativa e realizou-se uma revisão da literatura nas bases de dados CAPES, SciELO e PubMed, abrangendo o período de 2017 a 2022. Neste intuito, o objetivo deste estudo é averiguar se os professores de Ciências das Escolas Estaduais de Lucas do Rio Verde-MT receberam a formação e os recursos necessários para utilizar Tecnologias Digitais em suas aulas, além de identificar os desafios enfrentados durante o Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE). Por tanto, os resultados indicam que os professores receberam formação específica e condições adequadas para a aplicação de tecnologias educacionais, bem como suporte financeiro, embora estes tenham sido insuficientes para atender completamente às necessidades daquele momento. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que os professores participaram de formação continuada sobre Tecnologias Digitais, produção de ODA e uso de plataformas digitais.

Em 2023, convocou-se a Conferência Nacional de Educação (CONAE), edição 2024, em caráter extraordinário por meio do Decreto Presidencial n.º 11.697, de 11 de setembro de 2023, com o objetivo de garantir a participação da sociedade civil organizada na elaboração do Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE). Precedida pelas etapas municipais, intermunicipais, distrital e estaduais, a etapa nacional considerou a síntese da avaliação dos dados do PNE (2014-2024) ao evidenciar os obstáculos e as necessidades da educação pública no Brasil (Brasil, 2023). O tema central tratado envolveu o PNE, decênio 2024-2034 como política de Estado para a garantia da educação como direito humano, com justiça social e desenvolvimento socioambiental sustentável. Entre os sete eixos temáticos tratados, destaca-se o Eixo 6 – Financiamento público da educação pública, com controle social e garantia das condições adequadas para a qualidade social da educação, com vistas à democratização do acesso e da permanência. Nesse contexto, de acordo com a Campanha Nacional pelo Direito à Educação (2024), entre os dias 28, 29 e 30 de janeiro de 2024, a CONAE contou com a participação de 1.846 delegadas/os provenientes de todos os cantos do país. Esse é o contexto desta entrevista com o Professor Emérito Nelson Cardoso Amaral, membro permanente do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG) e Presidente da Associação Nacional de Pesquisa em Financiamento da Educação (FINEDUCA), cuja posição acadêmica revela contribuições significativas para se compreender o financiamento da educação no cenário brasileiro.

Authors: Barros João Luiz da Costa , Lima Juliana Camurça de , Pereira Lorhena Alves
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender as garantias constitucionais destinadas às crianças em relação aos seus direitos à infância, sob a perspectiva do direito fundamental estabelecido na Constituição Federal de 1988, em seu artigo 227, e do surgimento do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) de 1990. A metodologia, de natureza qualitativa, consiste em estudos exploratórios, por meio de revisão bibliográfica de autores relevantes e análise documental das legislações específicas, resumidas ou na íntegra. Essa abordagem contribui para uma compreensão mais profunda do tema, útil tanto para estudantes de graduação em diversas áreas do conhecimento quanto para profissionais das áreas de Educação e Direito. Conclui-se que é necessário implementar políticas públicas alinhadas com as bases legais e teóricas pertinentes, visando à desconstrução de práticas excludentes e à promoção de práticas democráticas no tratamento dos direitos individuais e das garantias constitucionais em defesa do bem-estar integral das crianças, considerando sua plenitude e complexidade como seres humanos.
CAIU NA REDE, É PEIXE? A (ANTI)ÉTICA DOS CONTEÚDOS DIRECIONADOS A CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES NAS REDES SOCIAIS
Authors: Gomes Catarina Barbosa Torres , Silva Maria Gabriela Almeida
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho apresenta resultados parciais de uma pesquisa que investigou a exposição das crianças e
dos(as)adolescentes aos conteúdos (vídeos) produzidos pelas redes sociais que, na atualidade, constituem-se
como fenômeno que se conforma em objeto de estudo, sobretudo, nas Ciências Humanas. Nesse sentido, quando
o objeto de estudo é recortado à luz da ética, cabe situá-lo no campo da Filosofia, e mais especificamente, no
âmbito da ética utilitarista, cujo princípio fundamental incide sobre a compreensão do valor moral como uma
ação que depende de suas consequências. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento, seguido de uma seleção e
amostragem de vídeos presentes nas redes sociais (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook). O material
selecionado foi analisado à luz dos referenciais teóricos da ética de Stuart Mill e do Projeto de Lei 2630/20 que
institui a Lei Brasileira de Liberdade, Responsabilidade e Transparência na internet, além do Estatuto da Criança
e do Adolescente. A metodologia orientou-se pela análise documental e análise de conteúdo. Os resultados,
embora parciais, impressionam, por apresentar 114 violações sistemáticas aos direitos da criança e do(a)
adolescente, as quais foram subdivididas em várias categorias que, por sua vez, se subdividem em subcategorias,
analisadas pontualmente.
