Authors: Trier Jessica , Askari Sussan , Hanmore Tessa , Thompson Heather-Ann , Wagner Natalie , Braund Heather , Hall Andrew Koch , McEwen Laura , Dalgarno Nancy , Dagnone Jeffrey Damon
Published: May 2024

Background: As competency-based medical education (CBME) curricula are introduced in residency programs across Canada, systematic evaluation efforts are needed to ensure fidelity of implementation. This study evaluated early outcomes of CBME implementation in one Canadian Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation program that was an early adopter of CBME, with an aim to inform continuous quality improvement initiatives and CBME implementation nationwide.
Methods: Using Rapid Evaluation methodology, informed by the CBME Core Components Framework, the intended outcomes of CBME were compared to actual outcomes.
Results: Results suggested that a culture of feedback and coaching already existed in this program prior to CBME implementation, yet faculty felt that CBME added a framework to support feedback. The small program size was valuable in fostering strong relationships and individualized learning. However, participants expressed concerns about CBME fostering a reductionist approach to the development of competence. Challenges existed with direct observation, clear expectations for off-service training experiences, and tracking trainee progress. There was trepidation surrounding national curricular change, yet the institution-wide approach to CBME implementation created shared experiences and a community of practice.
Conclusions: Program evaluation can help understand gaps between planned versus enacted implementation of CBME, and foster adaptations to improve the fidelity of implementation.
Reflexiones acerca del irpado o «casamiento» en los ritos ganaderos altoandinos
Authors: Elizaga Coulombié Julieta
Published: May 2024

En este trabajo reflexionamos sobre el irpado, en el marco del ritual de señalakuy. Descrito por los pastores como un «matrimonio de los animales», su nombre proviene de irpa, nombre dado a los animales «casaderos», que procrearán durante el año entrante. El término tiene, al menos, dos acepciones: por un lado, las acciones de acompañar y conducir, que podrían asociarse tanto a los viajes interregionales como al pastoreo. Asimismo, se traduce «pichón», remitiendo al vínculo simbólico entre aves y camélidos. A partir de aquí, nos preguntamos sobre algunos aspectos de las relaciones entre los pastores altoandinos y sus rebaños.
Un balance de los estudios de la simbologíade las montañas en los Andes
Authors: Arroyo Sabino
Published: May 2024

Studies of the religious behavior of the Andean peoples have not yet been able to attract specialists in social science, due tothe academic preconception of the «pantheon of the Andean gods» and the context of the process of urban desacralization of our time. However, some managed to elucidate the ritual formulas and expressions of myth as components and imprints of the religious system in action. And, insofar as they are social facts, they are related to the productive capacities,social feelings and the value system of their environment. With this concern, we propose to show a limited bibliographic summary of conceptual contributions, theoretical advances and ethnographic records of contemporary Andean religiousthought. Based on our experience in the Ayacucho region on the conceptual management of pagapu and wamani as ritual axes of propitiation and hard nuclei of cultural matrix, in a context of migratory movements and growing social conflicts.
Astronomía y ecología: la sincronización alimentaria del maíz
Authors: Earls John
Published: May 2024

El "dilema incaico" consiste en la imposibilidad aparente de reconciliar la abundancia del rendimiento de la producción agrícola en el incario -tan ampliamente documentada por los cronistas y otras fuentes- con la simplicidad extraordinaria de los instrumentos directamente empleados en la producción. Al contrario de una mayoría de autores, el número de consideraciones (que no voy a detallar aquí) me convencen de que la estimación "alta" para la población del Tawantinsuyu unas 30'000.000 de personas postuladas por Dobyns y Thompson (1966), es más realista que las cifras "bajas" (de unos 4'500,000 - 6'000,000); o sea que la población de entonces fue por lo menos igual a la situación demográfica de los países andinos actuales. A la vez, es indudable que trabajando con un arado de bueyes o con tractor, se pueda cultivar mucho más tierras en el mismo tiempo que con chaki taklla.
Os ambientes alimentares no âmbito do regime alimentar neoliberal: um estudo de caso em Curitiba/Brasil
Authors: Paula Natália Ferreira de , Paula Nilson Maciel de
Published: May 2024

This paper uses the ecological research method to analyze the macroenvironment for food in the city of Curitiba through the lens of a neoliberal food regime in order to understand the organization of fruit and vegetable supply, factors related to social vulnerability, and the nutritional status of the population. We found that the most vulnerable areas of the city had a higher prevalence of overweight adults and little to no access to fruits or vegetables. In the private food macroenvironment, we did not detect any statistically significant correlation between density of establishments selling this produce, income, level of precariousness, or nutritional state. In the more settled regions, we observed denser retail networks as well as a negative correlation with nutritional status. The food supply policies in Curitiba were determined to be in line with the neoliberal food regime, in which areas with better living conditions are better served by public food supply policies.

Published: May 2024

Aim: Epigenetic alterations have been reported in patients with pituitary tumors and those on antipsychotic drugs, which are also responsible for hyperprolactinemia. This suggests a possible role of epigenetics in the etiopathology of hyperprolactinemia.
Methods: The study recruited 83 hyperprolactinemia cases with prolactin > 100 ng/mL and 65 controls. Global DNA methylation status was studied by MethylFlash Methylated DNA Quantification Kit and genome-wide methylation analysis (GWMA) by Infinium Methylation EPIC BeadChip 850K array.
Results: Hyperprolactinemia cases showed significant global DNA hypermethylation compared to controls. Around 66.67% of hypomethylated and 12.9% of hypermethylated cases were on antipsychotics. Gene enrichment analysis of 5-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3 (CpG) site-associated genes demonstrated significantly enriched major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-related protein classes and cellular components.
Conclusions: The study suggested the role of epigenetics in the etiopathology of hyperprolactinemia.

Authors: Chandra Sekar Praveen Kumar , Thomas Sheena Mariam , Veerabathiran Ramakrishnan
Published: May 2024

This article provides an informative overview of the current situation and future trends in cervical cancer prevention. Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern worldwide and is characterized by notable variations in both incidence and mortality rates between developed and developing countries. This underscores the importance of understanding the pathophysiology of cervical cancer, stressing the involvement of high-risk HPV types. The presence of supplementary risk factors facilitates the transition from infection to cancer. This review examines current preventive methods, including the success of HPV vaccines such as Gardasil and Cervarix, and the effectiveness of screening techniques, from cytology to HPV DNA testing. It noted the limitations faced by primary and secondary preventive measures, particularly in low-resource settings, which include access to vaccines and effective screening procedures. Emerging technologies in cervical cancer prevention, such as liquid-based cytology, molecular testing, and AI, promise to improve early detection and diagnosis accuracy and efficiency. The potential of precision medicine to customize treatment based on individual risk factors was discussed. It explores the innovation in genetic editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, in targeting HPV oncoproteins, the advent of immunotherapy, the role of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and the prospects of biomarkers in improving early detection. Research and technological advancements are leading to transformative changes in cervical cancer prevention. These developments suggest a path toward improved screening, diagnosis, and treatment that could significantly reduce the global burden of the disease. However, realizing the full potential of these advances requires inclusive research and international collaboration to overcome access disparities, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Authors: Mejia-Gonzalez Uziel , Nedelcu Dorian , Salgado Javier Cruz , Francisco-Marquez Misaela
Published: May 2024

The present work studies the positive or negative effect of zeolite mineral on the tensile and flexural mechanical behavior of a wood-plastic composite. Eight different blends were developed, the components used were wood flour (WF), polypropylene (PP), zeolite (Z) and maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling agent. The eight blends were made using a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder, while the specimens were produced on a plastic injection molding machine with a 60ton clamping capacity. The standards used to determine the tensile and flexural mechanical properties were ASTM 638 and ASTM 790, respectively. Ten repetitions of each mixture were carried out. In addition, a reference (100% polypropylene) was used to compare the results obtained to determine whether the effect of using the zeolite mineral generated positive or negative results in the compounds obtained. Both studies showed that as the proportion of zeolite increases in the blend, the tensile and flexural properties are affected. However, the mixture (M7) with proportions in its components of, 34.375% WF, 55.875% PP, 6.75 % Z and 3% MAPP, showed an increase in the tensile and flexural mechanical properties, indicating a strong relationship between the components that integrate the wood-plastic composite (WPC), mainly between wood and mineral.

Asthma: a New Approach to the Bronchial Epithelium
Authors: Januškevičius Andrius , Vasylė Eglė , Malakauskas Kęstutis
Published: May 2024

The bronchial epithelium serves as a critical defense line against environmental insults, acting not merely as a barrier but as a complex, dynamic system enriched with diverse cell types such as ciliated cells, goblet cells, and basal cells. Recent advancements in single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing have further unveiled the complexity of this layer by identifying additional cell types like ionocytes, neuroendocrine cells, tuft cells, deuterosomal cells, club cells and mucus ciliated cells. These cells collectively maintain respiratory health through various mechanisms including the mucociliary escalator, mucus production, airway repair, and immune modulation. Disruptions in the epithelial barrier can lead to respiratory diseases like asthma, highlighting the importance of understanding these intricate cellular relationships for developing targeted therapies. This epithelial complexity is crucial for pulmonary homeostasis and the pathogenesis of asthma, where abnormal epithelial remodeling and dysfunction are central. The identification of a novel mucous ciliated cell state in asthma, co-expressing genes associated with both ciliated and goblet cells, offers new insights into the disease’s pathogenesis and therapeutic targets. The epithelial barrier’s integrity, maintained by tight junctions and adherents’ junctions, is essential for protecting the underlying tissue from environmental threats. However, in asthma, this barrier is compromised, leading to increased allergen permeability, airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and remodeling. Despite advances, the need for novel concepts in asthma pathogenesis remains, particularly to address the limitations of the current T helper 2-dominant paradigm in explaining the connection between airway inflammation and remodeling. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying epithelial barrier dysfunction could pave the way for novel asthma treatments focused on enhancing barrier integrity, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Comparative Study of Collagen Density, Fibroblast, and Neovascularization in Tracheal Defect Reconstruction with Primary Repair and External Oblique Muscle Aponeurosis Patch (A Novel Study with New Zealand Rabbit)
Authors: RadinHardika Kamal  , PrianggaAdi Wiratama  , MarjonoDwi Wibowo  , DwiHari  Susilo
Published: May 2024

Background: The lack of ideal materials and the high incidence of complications make tracheal defect reconstruction challenging. The use of aponeurosis as a surgical patch and flap in reconstruction is not uncommon, but no studies had been conducted to analyse its use in tracheal defect reconstruction, though its effectivity in wound healing was significant in reconstruction of other organs.
Objective: This study aims to compare collagen density, fibroblast expression, and neovascularization in tracheal defect reconstruction using primary suture and using external oblique muscle aponeurosis patch.
Methods: This randomized control trial is a laboratory experimental study using male New Zealand white rabbits. Randomization was carried out with permuted block randomization into a control group (primary suture) and a treatment group (reconstruction with external oblique muscle aponeurosis patch). Mascroscopic and histopathological assessments were carried out 14 days after surgery.
Results: We got homogeneous samples in both groups (9 samples each) in terms of age (p = 0.763), weight before procedure (p = 0.347), and weight after procedure (p = 0.536). Macroscopically, no wound dehiscence, pus, or inflammation at the surgical site in either the control or treatment groups. Histopathological analysis showed that there were no differences in collagen density (p = 1.00), fibroblast expression (p = 0.414), and neovascularization (p = 0.558) between the two groups.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that there are no differences in collagen density, fibroblast expression, and neovascularization in New Zealand rabbits with tracheal defect using primary suture and using external oblique muscle aponeurosis patch

Ritualidad y arte rupestre en la Sierra de Villicum (San Juan)
Authors: García Alejandro , Domeneghini Gina , Varas Fredi Martín , Riveros Oscar
Published: May 2024

Una de las vías de explicación de la producción de arte rupestre es su vinculación con el desarrollo de rituales. El abundante registro rupestre de la provincia de San Juan (centro-oeste argentino) proporciona casos en los que puede ensayarse esta perspectiva. Uno de ellos es el de la quebrada La Pola, conocida como escenario de actividades religiosas y de brujería en tiempos coloniales y modernos, y cuyo carácter sagrado podría remontarse a momentos prehispánicos. En este sentido, se identificó un conjunto de motivos que podrían asociarse a mensajes canónicos involucrados en rituales y dar cuenta de la ejecución reiterada de estas actividades. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis de esos motivos y se examinan otros aspectos que estarían estrechamente relacionados con su ejecución, como la continuidad cronológica de los rituales, el uso del espacio y el posible carácter chamánico de algunos de ellos.

En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados obtenidos del desarrollo de un programa experimental que tiene como objetivo generar un marco de referencia local de los perfiles lipídicos de los principales recursos disponibles en el curso inferior del río Colorado. En este caso, el propósito fue conocer la composición de ácidos grasos de recursos ictícolas y evaluar las principales transformaciones que estos sufren durante la cocción. Para ello, se confeccionaron réplicas de vasijas arqueológicas, se hirvieron peces marinos de distintas especies (bagre de mar, corvina rubia, gatuzo, congrio y pescadilla) y se analizaron los ácidos grasos de la carne cruda y cocida, del líquido de cocción y de los contenidos en las paredes de las vasijas. Los resultados obtenidos evidenciaron que en todas las muestras se pudieron detectar ácidos grasos. Sin embargo, si se comparan los identificados en la carne cruda de cada especie con los detectados con posterioridad al hervido, se observa que el evento de cocción generó la pérdida y/o degradación de algunos de ellos, principalmente de los ácidos insaturados. En las vasijas se preservaron lo ácidos grasos (e.g., ácido esteárico, palmítico y oleico) que comúnmente están presentes en la mayoría de los recursos alimenticios (e.g., herbívoros, vegetales). No obstante, los ácidos grasos poliinsaturados pertenecientes al grupo C20 detectados en las vasijas de bagre de mar y corvina rubia, el ácido eicosenoico presente en la vasija de bagre de mar y el monoinsaturado del grupo C22 identificado para el congrio podrían ser considerados ácidos grasos diagnósticos de peces marinos.
Stability trends in carbocation intermediates stemming from germacrene A and hedycaryol
Authors: Tarannam Naziha , Gupta Prashant Kumar , Zev Shani , Major Dan Thomas
Published: May 2024

In the current work, we analyzed the origin of difference in stabilities among the germacrene A and hedycaryol-derived carbocations. This study focused on twelve hydrocarbons derived from germacrene A and twelve from hedycaryol, which can be divided into three groups: four molecules containing 6-6 bicyclic rings, four 5-7 bicyclic compounds with the carbocation being on the seven-membered ring and the remaining four 5-7 bicyclic compounds with the carbocation on the five-membered ring. The variations in energy within the groups of carbocations (i.e., 6-6 and two kinds of 5-7 bicyclic carbocations) can be ascribed to intramolecular repulsion interactions, as seen from non-covalent interactions plots. Despite the structural similarities between germacrene A and hedycaryol cations, they possess a somewhat different stability trend. These differences are attributed to C+···OH intramolecular interactions present in some hedycaryol cations, which are absent in the carbocations derived from germecrene A.

An important issue within the framework of economic theory has always been the problem of the relationship between free trade and protectionist measures to protect domestic production. At a certain stage, the ideology of free trade (developed by Adam Smith, David Ricardo) became the mainstream of economic thought. Later, within the framework of the German Historical school, an important contribution was made by the economist Friedrich List, who proposed the concept of educational protectionism as an alternative to the free trade ideology of classical political economy. In this article it is proposed to analyze the main ideas and arguments of the concept of educational protectionism and compare them with the argumentation of other economic schools. Were described the characteristics of the German Historical school. It was shown, that despite some similar ideas, the concept of educational protectionism is very different from mercantilist ideas, this concept does not deny free trade direction from a historical perspective, but in some way offers a way of transition to free trade policy. The institutional and economic restrictions, that F. List considers for the success of protectionist policy, were analyzed. The reaction to the concept of educational protectionism was shown, both from the point of view of the role of this concept in economic policy in Russia, and from the point of view of a negative attitude towards this concept from socialist thought, including Rudolf Hilferding. It can be concluded that the concept of educational protectionism also turned out to be largely utopian, but it played an important role in expanding the boundaries of the discussion about free trade and the factors determining this trade policy.

The article substantiates the relevance of forming an idea of corporate social responsibility of Russian universities as a condition for effective interaction of stakeholders in the higher education space. The research conducted within the framework of the article is aimed at determining the relationship between responsibility, social responsibility and corporate social responsibility of a university in a competitive environment. It is substantiated that in the field of higher education there is such a phenomenon as corporate social responsibility. The nature of corporate social responsibility of universities in the higher education space is determined by the position of the parties to mutual responsibility and the conditions that determine its nature. The article is the first to analyze the elements of corporate social responsibility of universities to stakeholders, such as students, teachers, employers, and the state. It has been revealed that the responsible fulfillment by the university of its direct responsibilities to stakeholders who meet mutual obligations to the university leads to mutually beneficial cooperation. The article proves that corporate social responsibility acts as one of the factors of university competitiveness.

Contribuir a la epistemología de la Educación Ambiental es una tarea compleja, debido a que, desde su desarrollo histórico y ontológico, es un campo relativamente nuevo y presenta divergencias significativas en cuanto a la manera en que se abordada. Este estudio busca caracterizar la forma cómo la EA se ha construido, y como se ha objetivado y especializado en un programa académico en particular, la investigación presenta una propuesta para abordar la epistemología desde tres aristas: histórico hermenéutico, concepciones de EA y líneas de pensamiento ambiental. En primer lugar, se lleva a cabo un análisis documental para reconstruir como se ha formado el concepto de ambiente a través de la historia del programa académico, posteriormente se aplica una encuesta, se realiza la observación participante y finalmente una entrevista semi-estructurada a un grupo focal. Los resultados exponen como el concepto de ambiente ha evolucionado a lo largo de la historia, en respuesta a las circunstancias y necesidades de diferentes épocas. El grupo focal muestra una tendencia hacia una corriente naturista; finalmente se identificaron cuatro líneas de pensamiento ambiental, lo que permite reconocer las tendencias y proyecciones de los estudiantes en su trabajo de grado; a manera de conclusión, el estudio presenta una epistemología alternativa basada en la hibridación del saber y conocimiento ambiental, lo cual evidencia un reto en constante desarrollo para la EA, que permita comprender esta complejidad y brindar métodos y metodologías en coherencia con las perspectivas diferenciales de la sociedad.

Published: May 2024

The South China Sea (SCS) conflict has become a critical factor for regional peace and development with growing geopolitical competition between China and the USA. To face the rising threat of China, the study argues that the balance of power theory is relevant to explain why Vietnam attempts to strengthen strategic alliances with the USA, Russia, EU, and India to balance against the rising threat of China in SCS. However, this theory is not able to explain why Vietnam has a bandwagoning policy toward China at the same time. To fill the gap of the previous studies, this study endeavors to put forward the point that as geopolitical rivalry between the two superpowers, the United States and China, intensifies, Vietnam is put in a predicament of balancing the economic and the political choices against the choices of taking a neutral stand against the assertiveness of China in the SCS. Further, the alternative traditional balance options with ASEAN, and Russia are not sufficiently effective for Vietnam to balance against China since the position of both ASEAN and Russia is much weaker than China. This study also suggests that the support of the USA, EU, and its alliance for Vietnam’s position creates unbearable costs for China’s aggressive behaviors in SCS. By using the mathematical and logical framework, the study suggests that Vietnam tends to adopt a mixed strategy (balancing, bandwagoning, neutrality) in dealing with China’s threats.

Este trabalho trata-se de um estudo cujo objetivo é discorrer sobre aspectos gerais do mineral de Opala no Brasil. A metodologia empregada foi caracterizada pela abordagem integrativa, tendo como principal técnica o método de revisão bibliográfica. A coleta de dados deu-se com busca sistematizada de artigos e materiais publicados na base de dados SciELO, Periódicos CAPES e Google Acadêmico. O levantamento foi realizado a partir dos descritores: opala, opala mineralogia e opala geologia. Como resultado foi possível perceber que há pouquíssimos trabalhos focados nos minerais de opala do Brasil, onde sua maioria está concentrado nos estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia e principalmente Piauí. Entre as fontes investigadas, as análises preponderantes se concentram nos dados gemológicos, DRX, FRX, densidade, índice de refração e morfologia. Foi possível perceber uma grande variedade de opalas quanto as suas cores (branca, vermelha, azul, amarela, castanha, verde, laranja, e o tipo mais raro sendo colorido apresentando um jogo de cores). Na composição mineralógica, foi possível detectar em algumas opalas o sulfato de prata, halita, silvita, calcita/dolomita, siderita, cristobalita, tridimita, calcedônia, paligorskita e serpentina. Na composição química, mostrou predominância de SiO2. Há presença considerável em algumas opalas de alumínio, ferro, níquel, cromo e cálcio. Quantos as análises de índice de refração e densidade os resultados corroboram com os dados da literatura, com exceção da opala azul. Logo, foi possível concluir que ainda são necessários mais estudos sobre os minerais de opala do Brasil e que o Estado do Piauí possui uma maior riqueza de dados, detalhando também questões ambientais e socioeconômica, além de ser o único que possui APLs.

Extratos vegetais e óleos essenciais, são exemplos de subprodutos que podem ser obtidos a partir dos resíduos agroindustriais. Estudos têm demonstrado que estes produtos naturais, são utilizados com sucesso no combate a fungos fitopatogênicos. Deste modo, objetivou-se com o presente estudo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o potencial fungicida do óleo essencial da casca de laranja de diferentes espécies de citros. Foram realizadas consultas no Science Direct e Google Acadêmico, utilizando as palavras-chaves: óleo essencial, atividade antifúngica, laranja, citros, fungicida. Com base nas pesquisas publicadas, foi comprovado a eficácia desses óleos essenciais no combate de fitopatógenos. Assim, a busca por alternativas sustentáveis na gestão de resíduos pode não apenas contribuir para a preservação do meio ambiente, mas também resultar em aplicações benéficas para agricultura.
“DESENTERRANDO” A HISTÓRIA DOS(AS) SUBALTERNOS(AS): UMA PROPOSTA DIDÁTICA A PARTIR DO CEMITÉRIO SÃO JOÃO BATISTA DE GUARABIRA-PB
Authors: Hipólito Paulo
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de propor uma alternativa didática que possa versar sobre a história dos grupos subalternos, que possa ser capaz de chamar a atenção dos alunos para uma concepção de história para além da história dos vencedores. Para isso, tomou-se o Cemitério São João Batista – localizado na cidade de Guarabira, Paraíba –, como objeto de estudo, visto o seu potencial para bordar a história pelo viés da história vista de baixo, a qual clareia e dá voz aos chamados grupos subalternos. Nesse intuito, o trabalho dialoga com autores ligados aos estudos subalternos, entre outros que, de certa forma, escreveram tendo em mente o rompimento com a história tradicional e trazendo para a discussão concepções históricas e culturais de sujeitos considerados “insignificantes” para o pensamento hegemônico. Referindo-se à questão metodológica, optou-se pela revisão bibliográfica.

O conhecimento dos padrões de escoamento provenientes do fluxo bifásico deágua e óleo é de grande importância para a indústria óleo-gás. Isto, tendo em vistaque variáveis críticas a projetos nesta área, têm forte correlação com o padrão deescoamento. Extração em plataforma offshore, transporte e armazenamento depetróleo são áreas que se beneficiam do emprego de técnicas que possam prever ospadrões de escoamento. Porém, até o momento não é possível fazer previsões deforma analítica, baseando-se apenas na modelagem matemática do sistema. Nestecontexto, diversos trabalhos foram desenvolvidos no sentido de encontrar outrasformas de fazer a estimação dos regimes ou padrões de escoamento: uma parte daliteratura abordou esta questão de forma experimental, propondo modelos empíricosbaseados principalmente em mapas de fluxo. Outra parte desenvolveu projetosutilizando técnicas de Inteligência Artificial, que seriam treinadas a partir de dadosexperimentais. É no sentido desta última abordagem que este trabalho foi desenvolvido,especificamente em uma base de dados de escoamento bifásico água-óleoem tubulações horizontais. Assim, foram implementadas inicialmente, Redes NeuraisArtificiais que classificaram um conjunto de oito padrões de escoamento. De modo avalidar os resultados obtidos e ter margem para comparação, também foram adotadasas técnicas: KNN, SVM, K-Means, Fuzzy C-Means e Random Forest. A análisedos resultados obtidos de todas estas indicaram que a que melhor se adequou aeste conjunto de dados, com as condições com que foram construídas, foram asRedes Neurais, que apresentaram a melhor acurácia obtida, de 95, 0594%. O SVMe o Random Forest apresentaram resultados ligeiramente piores, com 92, 8218% e93, 5644% de acurácia, respectivamente. Já o KNN teve resultados medianos, com85, 3960% de acurácia, e o K-Means com 66, 6596% de acurácia, e o Fuzzy C-Meanscom 77, 7504% apresentaram resultados considerados insuficientes, ou seja, não sãotécnicas viáveis nesta aplicação.

Objetivo: verificar a ocorrência de desordens psicológicas, como ansiedade e estresse em profissionais de enfermagem atuantes na linha de frente durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma seleção de trabalhos nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Google Acadêmico e Pepsic, com os descritores ansiedade, estresse, COVID AND Enfermagem afim de eleger alguns estudos pertinentes ao tema da presente revisão integrativa. Resultados: foram analisados nove estudos transversais e um estudo de coorte, sem restrição de faixa etária ou de quaisquer outras características pessoais. Todos os estudos revelaram evidências que indicam prevalência de ansiedade e estresse nos profissionais que estão linha de frente. A literatura indica que menor tempo de atuação nas unidades, bem como, alta carga de trabalho e capacidade para o trabalho prejudicada estão associados ao estresse. Já o uso prévio de psicotrópicos, vínculo empregatício privado, locais precários de trabalho e lesões de pele foram associados à ansiedade. Problemas relacionados ao sono também foram identificados durante a pandemia. Considerações finais: é crucial que os governos identifiquem sistematicamente grupos, como enfermeiros, que correm o risco de apresentar sintomas significativos de ansiedade ou estresse, proporcionando-lhes uma intervenção precoce. Além disso, aumentar a conscientização e educar as equipes médicas não psiquiátricas para a avaliação da saúde mental pode ser crucial para permitir diagnósticos em saúde mental oportunos. Por fim, também é importante conscientizar chefes de enfermagem sobre a necessidade de abordar a saúde mental com medidas de apoio precoces e adequadas, como normalizar as emoções, comunicar-se com clareza, atender às necessidades básicas e tornar o horário de trabalho mais flexível.
A Juvenilização da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no Amapá: Uma Análise na Escola Estadual Santa Inês

Published: May 2024

A pesquisa dissertativa “A Juvenilização da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no Estado do Amapá: Uma análise na Escola Estadual Santa Inês” traz como ideia central analisar as principais causas do insucesso escolar no ensino regular que impulsionam a juventude a vislumbrar uma aparente aceleração na EJA em uma escola pública da cidade de Macapá. Os sujeitos centrais da pesquisa são alunos/as de 15 a 29 anos regularmente matriculados na 3ª e 4ª etapas da EJA. Para essa juventude a educação está articulada ao ingresso no mundo do trabalho e ascensão social. O contexto social, político e cultural do qual esses/as educandos/as estão inseridos, é um aspecto pertinente para se repensar a educação ofertada à EJA, em sua maioria composta de um público jovem, que apesar de marcada por um percurso escolar acidentado, com reprovações e evasões, precisa ser vista com um novo olhar, a fim de que as necessidades, especificidades e aprendizagens construídas possam dialogar com as propostas curriculares e práticas pedagógicas adequadas às peculiaridades da clientela atendida, além de trazer importantes contribuições para a implantação de políticas públicas na tentativa de reverter esse quantitativo na modalidade. A metodologia fundamenta-se numa abordagem qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso com técnicas de observação, questionário e análise documental. Para analisar os dados aplicamos o método análise de conteúdo fundamentado em Bardin (2011). Os resultados da pesquisa revelam que a Juvenilização da EJA vem aumentando desde 1993. Essa migração ocorreu por diversos motivos: trabalho, evasão por falta de interesse e reprovação, por problemas familiares e também por uma rápida “aceleração” objetivando a continuidade dos estudos e a conquista do primeiro emprego formal.
