A Hybrid Protocol to Enhance the Lifetime and Reliability of WSN
Authors: Santosh Anand
Published: December 2024

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are networks composed of spatially distributed, autonomous devices called sensor nodes that monitor and collect data about environmental conditions. These sensor nodes communicate wirelessly to transmit data to a central system for analysis. WSNs use these numerous nodes distributed in a network to perform various tasks such as data collection, processing, organization, communication, management, etc., and energy is the most crucial resource for properly functioning these nodes over the network. Hence, its primary concern is optimizing energy consumption and extending the network lifespan. The sensor nodes can be clustered to increase their lifespan further. A secondary concern is a random distribution of sensor nodes within a predefined network area which presents challenges such as incomplete coverage, connectivity issues, and inefficient energy consumption. The proposed system detects coverage holes and improves node participation by placing monitor nodes strategically within the network to ensure complete coverage and combines it with an energy-efficient routing approach and optimized Shortest Path Routing through minimum spanning trees. This combination minimizes distances between nodes, reducing energy consumption and enhancing network efficiency.
Verbal Intention and Verbal Reaction: Psycholinguistic aspect
Authors: Suima Irina , Diachok Natalia , Klymenko Tetiana , Bovkunova Oksana
Published: December 2024

Human communication is vital for the development and survival of society, yet it remains a complex and multifaceted process. This study aims to explore the concepts of "speech intention" and "speech response," examine their relationship within a conversation, and identify the main types of stimulus statements that express the speaker's intention, as well as the main types of verbal responses. To achieve the study's objectives, a descriptive and comparative approach is adopted. The research methods include collecting material examples, classifying language material, analysing components and context, conducting linguistic experiments, determining functional significance, using invariant analysis, and applying linguistic comparison techniques. In the process of communication, a dialogical exchange between two people includes components like language intention, which refers to the speaker's communicative goal or purpose, and verbal response, which is the listener's reply to the speaker's intentions, such as questions, requests, or information. The speaker’s intention can be simplified into three main objectives: to inform the listener, to receive information through a response to a question, or to express a will that directs the listener to take or not take a specific action. These intentions are reflected in three main types of sentences: declarative, interrogative, and imperative. The study concludes that the relationship between speech intention and speech response is key to understanding dialogue. Furthermore, the typology of responses proposed in the study can be a useful framework for future research on communication. The practical value lies in providing insights that can enhance our understanding of communication dynamics and improve language teaching methods.

Published: December 2024

Drought determination is essential for many environmental and agricultural applications. To further understand drought, this study presented the spatio-temporal variations of drought based on the Landsat 8 index as a vegetation condition index (VCI)., vegetation health index (VHI), Thermal condition index (TCI), Water Supply Vegetation Index (WSVI) and normalized vegetation indices (NDVI) in the Canaan forest (mana-made forest) area within the administrative boundaries of the Canaan district of Diyala Governorate for the years 2016, 2019 and 2023.The results showed a clear difference between the years of study in terms of the spatial distribution of drought degrees (very severe, severe, moderate, light and non-dry). The NDVI maps also showed that there is a clear decrease in the density and areas of vegetation cover in the study area due to drought, which requires taking the necessary precautions to reduce the negative effects of drought with the help of remote sensing techniques because they shorten time and cost. According to NDVI, the vegetation cover occupied an area of 7.438 km2 for the year 2016, while the area of 5.735 km2 was for 2023. The Extreme Drought class occupied an area of 44.180 km2 in 2016, while it was 44.250 km2 in 2023 according to the VCI. In general, the year 2023 was drier than the rest of the study years.

Published: December 2024

The experiment was carried out to study the irrigation systems, planting density and potassium silicate spraying on the growth and quality of tomato. The experiments included three factors, the type of drip irrigation systems (S) as: single line irrigation (S1) and Double line irrigation (S2). The planting densities (D): D1 (40 cm) (density: 12 plants); D2 (50 cm) (density: 10 plants) and D3 (60 cm) (density: 8 plants). The third factor was potassium silicate spraying (K): as: K0 (control); K1 (treated of plant with 1 mL L-1) and K2 (treated with 2 mL L-1). Using a factorial experiment within a split-plot design, main plots were allocated to irrigation systems (S1 and S2). The results showed that, the single irrigation system (S1) produced a significant superiority in acidity 0.560 %; vitamin C 34.958 mg; TSS 3.846 and lycopene 2.264 mg, compared with double line (S2) which showed superiority in β-carotene pigment 2.448 mg. Planting density at a distance of 60 cm produced the highest values in TSS 3.73; fruit hardness 3.590 kg cm-2 , β-carotene 2.41mg, while planting at 40 cm showed superiority in lycopene pigment 2.034 mg. Treatment with potassium silicate at a concentration of 1 mL L-1 (K1) was found to produce the highest lycopene and β-carotene, while a concentration of 2 mL L-1 had superiority in acidity and vitamin C. From the results, using the single irrigation system had superiority in producing tomato with high qualities, while planting tomato at a distance of 40 cm had superiority in most qualities characteristics.

Authors: Muriel Alfonso Elizabeth , Slaviero André , Greff Passos Camila , Selvero Pazinato Maurícius
Published: December 2024

O campo de conhecimento das Ciências da Natureza engloba um vasto conjunto de áreas dedicadas ao estudo da natureza e seus fenômenos em suas diferentes dimensões e perspectivas. É essencial que o futuro professor de Ciências vivencie experiências formativas de abordagem interdisciplinar dos conteúdos, para poder desenvolver tal princípio em sua prática docente na Educação Básica. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a matriz curricular do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências da Natureza para os Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental da UFRGS quanto às áreas disciplinares contempladas e aos princípios da interdisciplinaridade que o norteiam. O referido curso se destaca por ser o único na modalidade a distância, oferecido na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Metodologicamente, realizou-se a análise documental do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso (PPC), das súmulas e dos planos de ensino das disciplinas, utilizando categorias a priori relatadas na literatura. Verificou-se a presença de 11 categorias temáticas, com maior expressividade da carga horária para os conhecimentos de Geografia. Todavia o curso apresenta quatro eixos temáticos norteadores, além de outras atividades que demonstram o comprometimento com diversas questões da docência na Ciências da Natureza e da contemporaneidade. Sobre os princípios da interdisciplinaridade, verificou-se que há sua referência no PPC, mas carece de conceituação.

Authors: Soares da Silva Kleyfton , Rogério Miranda Correia Paulo
Published: December 2024

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e analisar estudos teóricos e empíricos acerca da aprendizagem de geometria molecular, identificando evidências científicas e possíveis lacunas para direcionar futuras pesquisas. Conduziu-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, analisando-se 46 estudos teóricos e empíricos extraídos de diretórios de busca nacionais e internacionais. Quatro linhas de investigação principais foram identificadas – habilidades espaciais, relação estrutura-propriedade, diagnóstico de erros conceituais, estratégias didáticas – para caracterizar as discussões atuais em torno do tema. As lacunas existentes se relacionam com limitações na abordagem quanto à: (1) relação da questão da visualização em química com o desenvolvimento de habilidades espaciais; (2) identificação de erros conceituais relacionados não só a conceitos de geometria molecular, mas à questão da espacialidade; (3) perspectiva de professores de química acerca do ensino e aprendizagem de geometria molecular. As lacunas apontadas oferecem perspectivas aos leitores para que novas pesquisas sejam conduzidas visando uma melhor compreensão de diferentes aspectos da aprendizagem de geometria molecular.
Concepções de Professores em Formação Inicial sobre a Contextualização no Ensino de Química
Authors: Dos Santos Almeida Eliane , Da Luz Rodrigo , Vivas de Sá Lucas , Cerqueira Fadigas Joelma
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho visa analisar como licenciandos em Química compreendem a contextualização, a fim de averiguar como está sendo a apropriação e o entendimento dessa abordagem didática pelos futuros docentes, de uma universidade recém-criada a partir do Programa de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais (REUNI). Os dados foram obtidos via entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo. Em resultados, identificou-se quatro entendimentos: a contextualização como aplicação do conhecimento científico, descrição científica de fatos e processos do cotidiano, abordagem interdisciplinar e formação do cidadão crítico. De modo geral, a maioria dos licenciandos tem uma visão simplista sobre a contextualização, entendendo que contextualizar é relacionar os conhecimentos químicos com o cotidiano para facilitar a aquisição dos conhecimentos científicos e despertar a motivação dos estudantes. A compreensão limitada do significado da contextualização por parte dos licenciandos contribui para a não implementação de um ensino de Ciências contextualizado, como princípio organizador do currículo escolar na educação básica, o que sinaliza desafios a serem enfrentados nos cursos de formação inicial de professores.
A Base Nacional Comum Curricular do Ensino Médio em Anais de Eventos Científicos Brasileiros de Educação em Ciências: Um Mapeamento por Meio da Análise Textual Discursiva
Authors: Freitas de Oliveira Douglas , De Mello Irene Cristina , Chaveiro Soares Elane
Published: December 2024

Em processo de consolidação nas redes educacionais de todo o Brasil, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular do Ensino Médio (BNCC-EM), juntamente com o Novo Ensino Médio, tem promovido significativas mudanças na organização escolar, nos currículos e nos objetivos das políticas educacionais. Assim, ao considerar este novo cenário, buscou-se analisar as publicações relacionadas à BNCC-EM oriundas de 11 anais dos cinco principais eventos acadêmicos-científicos brasileiros na área de Química, Ensino de Química e Educação em Ciências, no período de 2019 a 2022, na tentativa de compreender como o novo currículo tem sido recebido pela comunidade de pesquisa e o que se tem produzido por meio dele. Para tanto, optou-se por uma abordagem de pesquisa qualitativa do tipo mapeamento de publicações e para a análise de dados, adotou-se a Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD), proposta por Moraes e Galiazzi. Como resultados, foram encontradas 16 publicações, ao qual derivaram a produção de três metatextos: I) crítica à BNCC como currículo e política educacional; II) BNCC, discursos justificatórios e sua lógica neoliberal; e III) resultados de outras pesquisas a partir da BNCC. Em síntese, identificou-se a ocorrência de profundas críticas à BNCC-EM, tanto como currículo obrigatório, quanto em termos de política educacional que influencia e justifica uma sucessão de outras ações educacionais. Evidencia-se que as produções acadêmicas apontam para uma lógica neoliberal que permeia o texto curricular, cujos aspectos formativos se voltam para o mundo laboral e para as questões pragmáticas cotidianas, produzindo aligeiramento e esvaziamento da formação integral, crítica e cidadã dos estudantes.
Avaliação da Aprendizagem em Química sob a Perspectiva de Professores na Escola Pública
Authors: Cavagis Alexandre , Benedetti Filho Edemar
Published: December 2024

No ambiente escolar, uma temática bastante controversa é a avaliação da aprendizagem, que predominantemente se baseia na aplicação de provas e exames, visando a aferir o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos por parametrizações numéricas em momentos acadêmicos pontuais. Nessa perspectiva, é importante compreender a evolução da aprendizagem e investigar como os professores têm aplicado a avaliação no chão da escola, a fim de traçar estratégias para uma avaliação mais contínua, holística e integrada. Dessa forma, este trabalho investigou como as avaliações vêm sendo conduzidas por professores de Química, no Ensino Médio em escolas públicas do interior de São Paulo. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 47 professores, entre 2018 e 2021, buscando analisar suas concepções sobre a questão, assim como os métodos de avaliação empregados pelos educadores em sala de aula. Os resultados revelaram que, embora os professores tenham consciência sobre a importância de avaliações mais diversificadas, holísticas e integradas ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem, a aplicação de metodologias inovadoras geralmente acaba esbarrando em limitações impostas pelos sistemas de ensino e gestão escolar, uma vez que os exames de ingresso às universidades acabam exercendo forte influência sobre as tendências e escolhas avaliativas para a disciplina de Química no Ensino Médio.
The Intersection of Tradition and Modernity in Namita Gokhale’s Paro: Dreams of Passion
Authors: D. Gobi  , V. Suganthi
Published: December 2024

Namita Gokhale’s Paro: Dreams of Passion deftly explores the complex interplay between tradition and modernity in the lives of urban Indian women. Paro, the protagonist, is a bold, unconventional woman who defies societal norms and traditional expectations setting against the backdrop of postcolonial India. Paro embodies a fearless modernity, challenging prescribed gender roles and embracing her individuality. She is unapologetically sensual and pursues her desires without the guilt or restraint typically associated with Indian femininity. In stark contrast, her friend and narrator, Priya, represents the more conventional side of Indian womanhood, constrained by societal expectations and moral conventions. Priya is both fascinated and repelled by Paro’s independence, making her a reflection of the broader cultural ambivalence toward modernity. Through this dichotomy, Namita Gokhale captures the shifting dynamics of female identity and agency in urban India. Paro’s rebellious nature often lands her in conflict with traditional norms, highlighting the limitations imposed on women, even in the ostensibly modern settings of elite Indian society. The novel juxtaposes the public and private lives of its characters, shedding light on the hypocrisy within the upper levels of society. While outwardly progressive, many characters remain bound by deeply entrenched patriarchal values. Namita Gokhale uses humour, satire, and irony to analyse the double standards and the selective embrace of modernity that privileges men over women. Paro’s tragic end serves as a grim reminder of the dangers faced by women who refuse to conform to societal expectations, underscoring the inherent conflict between individual freedom and collective cultural norms. Paro: Dreams of Passion is a nuanced examination of the intersection of tradition and modernity, where women’s liberation is fraught with contradictions and resistance. Namita Gokhale’s work not only captures the spirit of an era in transition but also raises enduring questions about the nature of female autonomy in a society struggling to reconcile its historical values with the forces of change. Through Paro’s defiance and Priya’s introspection, Namita Gokhale’s narrative unveils the complexities of identity, desire, and empowerment for the modern Indian woman, making it a profound exploration of gender, culture, and modernity.
Resilience in the Wake of Destruction: The Sociological Impact of the Marawi Siege
Authors: Daud Khalid D.
Published: December 2024

This study examines the sociological impact of the Marawi siege on the internally displaced Mёranao population, focusing on the psychophysiological challenges faced by 70 mid-to-late adult IDPs in evacuation centers in Iligan City. Using a descriptive research approach, the study explores how environmental conditions, such as inadequate ventilation and sanitation, have adversely affected the health and well-being of these individuals—primarily women aged 36-55. Respondents reported physical symptoms, including joint pain, stiffness, and psychological symptoms like depression, anxiety, and trauma, all worsened by financial hardship and disrupted living environments. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires to gain insights into the respondents’ lived experiences. The findings highlight the urgent need for sustained support from government and Non-governmental Organizations or NGOs, particularly in health services, financial aid, and psycho-social interventions, to help Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) overcome trauma and restore stability. This research provides critical insights into the socio-economic and psychological needs of the displaced Mёranao community and calls for targeted programs in health, education, and economic stability to support their resilience and recovery.
Voices from the Margin: Subaltern Existence in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go
Authors: Azeem Aiman , Mukerji Sarvajit
Published: December 2024

Within the field of postcolonial studies, subaltern literary theory constitutes a foundational framework, foregrounding the voices and perspectives systematically marginalized and excluded by hegemonic power structures. Antonio Gramsci coined the term “subaltern” to describe groups that are socially, politically, and geographically subordinated from the colony or empire’s dominant power structures. The term has developed in literary and cultural theory to address the agency and portrayal of underprivileged populations. In Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, the author deftly crafts a story that tackles the terrifying ramifications of human cloning while also offering a thought-provoking analysis of marginalization and quest for identity. Ishiguro creates a bleak future in Never Let Me Go where clones are produced exclusively for organ donation. Despite being supposedly given care and instruction, these clones are essentially ignored and denied agency. The novel uncovers the institutional dehumanization that clones experience through the first-person narrative of Kathy H., a clone who describes her existence at Hailsham and her later work as a career. Kathy’s observations show how the restrictive systems that govern her environment, determine her life and sense of value, revealing the complex interplay between societal standards and personal identity. Through textual analysis this research paper analyzes the work within the framework of Subaltern theory, highlighting the systemic marginalization of clones and the novel’s critique of societal and ethical norms.

Of Cowardice, Responsibility and Nationalism in Post-war Japan: Re-mapping the Postmodern Ex-centric in Kazuo Ishiguro’s An Artist of the Floating World
Authors: Soni Suraj , Singh Vipan Pal
Published: December 2024

The ‘ex-centric’ is derived from ek, which means out, and kentron, which means centre. The term is Greek in origin and signifies not having the earth as its centre of an orbit. Since the 17th century, it has been used to describe behaviour that deviates from conventional accepted styles. This concept interrogates facts of one world — the status quo — the world as it is and recreates it based on the mini-narratives. This paper examines the spaces that legitimise discourses of difference, focusing on marginalised or ex-centric characters within dominant ideologies as portrayed in Kazuo Ishiguro’s An Artist of the Floating World (1986), set in post-war Japan. The paper critiques the shifting dynamics of centre-margin societal patterns vis-à-vis art and artists in post-war Japan. Art, as a mode of expression, illuminates societal values and encourages people globally, yet its definition changes over time as many critics come up with multiple perspectives. Art in past decades had different implications than current scenarios. This paper critically appropriates art and its relationship with the individual in the postmodern era, interrogating the concept of centre and margin. Additionally, it examines the role of artists during wartime, focusing on the portrayal of the Japanese Empire in contemporary paintings. Ultimately, the study examines how the concept of the center is defined, shaped, and perpetuated through philosophical, empirical, and ideological frameworks.
Polyphonic Rhetoric in Organizational Change: Reconciling Divergent Voices in Risk Communication in Nepal
Authors: Sharad Acharya
Published: December 2024

Organizational change often brings uncertainty and conflict, as stakeholders confront divergent perceptions and narratives about risks. This article explores the application of Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of polyphonic rhetoric, rooted in the theory of dialogism, to reconcile these conflicting voices during organizational change. Focusing on the context of Nepal, the study examines how organizations manage risk communication during mergers and acquisitions, navigating the complexities of cultural, economic, and organizational diversity. Drawing on Stakeholder Theory, Sensemaking Theory, and Cultural Models of Communication, the article provides a conceptual framework for understanding how multiple voices are acknowledged and harmonized through polyphonic rhetoric. The research adopts a descriptive and conceptual methodology, utilizing secondary data from scholarly articles, journals, and reports to analyze the reconciliation of divergent perspectives. This study highlights the significance of dialogic approaches to risk communication in promoting organizational stability and fostering trust during transformative processes in Nepal's organizational landscape. When organizations fail to engage with these different voices, the risks of failure increase. However, when the polyphonic nature of these voices is recognized and addressed, it can turn potential conflicts into opportunities for improved collaboration, customer loyalty, and long-term sustainability. The findings indicate that the successful integration of organizations depends not only on technical and structural considerations but also on the effective communication and reconciliation of the diverse concerns from employees, customers, regulators, and other stakeholders.

目的：探討急診護理人員的性別角色態度對婚姻暴力臨床照護能力勝任感受之相關

方法：本研究採橫斷式設計，利用結構性問卷調查探討中區七家教學醫院之急診護理人員的性別角色態度對執行婚姻暴力臨床照護能力之勝任感受現況與相關影響因素。

結果：婚姻暴力臨床照護能力勝任感受中的三個分量表「資源提供、保護措施及關懷」、「評估、通報、記錄、處置及預防」、「法律相關規範處理」兩兩之相關皆達顯著相關（p < .01）。在性別角色態度與婚姻暴力臨床照護能力勝任感受間各次量表間的相關則未達顯著。

結論：急診護理人員在針對婚姻暴力臨床照護能力勝任感受程度不會因為個人性別角色態度而有所影響。

 

Background: Gender role attitudes refer to the normative patterns and values acquired through an individual’s learning of societal expectations regarding gender, which can influence one’s behavior. Victims of domestic violence may suffer varying degrees of medical injuries, with emergency nurses often being the first-line personnel sought for medical assistance. In the face of the increasing incidence of domestic violence, it is essential to examine whether the gender role attitudes of nursing staff affect their perceived competence in providing clinical care for domestic violence cases.

Aim: Exploring the relationship between emergency nurses’ gender role attitudes and their perceived competence in clinical care for domestic violence cases.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire to investigate the current status and influencing factors of gender role attitudes and perceived competence in clinical care for domestic violence among emergency nurses from seven teaching hospitals in the central region of Taiwan.

Result: In the context of clinical care for domestic violence, three components of competency in handling marital violence - "resource provision, protective measures, and caring"; "assessment, reporting, documentation, intervention, and prevention"; and "legal compliance and handling" - were found to be significantly correlated with one another (p < .01). However, there was no significant correlation observed between gender role attitudes and perceived competency in clinical care for domestic violence across the various sub-scales.

Conclusion: The perceived competence of emergency nurses in clinical care for domestic violence is not influenced by their individual gender role attitudes.

A data collection and trading strategy based on a three-layer Stackelberg is proposed to address the defects of the data collection and trading strategy of the existing Telematics group wise sensing platform. First, the data trading strategy is designed for the Telematics group intelligence sensing platform, and the platform determines the optimal trading price according to the data volume and time limit demand of each data user; then the data collection strategy is designed for the platform, and the platform incentivizes the sensing vehicles to collect the required data volume within the limit time according to the movement trajectory, sensing and transmission cost of each sensing vehicle, and the strategy minimizes the data collection energy consumption and cost of the system. The strategy minimizes the data collection energy consumption of the system and designs the optimal data trading strategy based on game theory to maximize the economic benefits of the system. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy makes the telematics group wise sensing platform obtain the best economic utility in data collection and trading and satisfies the data demand of data users and the reward demand of sensing vehicles at the same time.
