Published: November 2024

Sexual quality of life is greatly influenced by sexual function, yet thorough measures remain limited and vary across regions.  In Indonesia, diverse cultural and religious contexts notably shape sexual quality of life. Thus, it is important to have a tool that considers both internal and external aspects. The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scale that specifically measures Indonesian sexual quality of life for women (ISQOL-W), considering cultural and social factors. A total of 228 participants were recruited from April 30, 2023, to September 30, 2023. The ISQOL-W was developed through two phases: item generation and psychometric evaluation. In the first phase, 68 items were drafted based on definitions and dimensions of sexual quality of life. In the second phase, exploratory factor analysis resulted in 34 items with a loading factor greater than 0.4 (ranging from 0.41 to 0.84) which were categorized into four domains/factors: sexual-related emotion, sexual fantasy, sexual arousal, and sexual relationship. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the overall questionnaire was 0.915, with subscale reliability ranging from 0.826 to 0.903. Further analysis revealed significant differences in ISQOL-W scores across relationship status, educational level, history of last sexual activity, and type of sexual activity. In conclusion, the ISQOL-W demonstrated robust psychometric properties, supporting its use in future studies. This study represents the first effort to develop and validate a sexual quality of life scale specifically for Indonesian women.

Zebrafish serve as a pivotal model for bioimaging and toxicity assessments; however, the toxicity of banana peel-derived carbon dots in zebrafish has not been previously reported. The aim of this study was to assess the toxicity of carbon dots derived from banana peel in zebrafish, focusing on two types prepared through hydrothermal and pyrolysis methods. Banana peels were synthesized using hydrothermal and pyrolysis techniques and then compared for characteristics, bioimaging ability, and toxicity in zebrafish as an animal model. Pyrolysis-derived banana peel and hydrothermal-derived banana peel showed blue emission under ultraviolet light, indicating excitation-dependent behavior. To test their potential application for bioimaging, a soaking method was used using zebrafish that showed fluorescence intensity in the eyes, abdomen, and tail of zebrafish. Toxicity comparison showed that pyrolysis-derived banana peel had lower toxicity with 50% lethal concentrations (LC50) of 1707.3 ppm than hydrothermal-derived banana peel (LC50 993 ppm) in zebrafish. Both types of carbon dots showed significant differences (p<0.05) in hatching rates at 96 and 120 hours of exposure. Of the two methods for carbon dot synthesis from banana peel, the pyrolysis method had a higher toxicity threshold than the hydrothermal method, as indicated by the LC50 value and the number of zebrafish embryos that died, hatched delayed, and experienced malformation during their development.

Published: November 2024

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has encouraged global vaccine research, yet vaccine effectiveness in the elderly remains a concern due to immunosenescence. The aim of this study was to compare the cytokine response elicited by an inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccine between elderly and young adults, focusing on key cytokines involved in cellular and humoral immunity: tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-10, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Jakarta-Bogor region of Indonesia from January 2023 to December 2023. The study population was divided into two age cohorts: elderly (60−85 years) and younger adults (30−40 years). Blood samples were collected twice, after the first booster dose and four weeks after the second booster dose. Serum cytokine concentrations were measured using Luminex assays with microparticles conjugated to monoclonal antibodies against TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ. Comparisons of the cytokine levels were conducted using Student’s t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests as appropriate. A total of 74 individuals were included, with 37 each in the elderly and young adult groups. The results showed significant differences in cytokine responses between the two age groups. After the first booster, the levels of IL-6 and IFN-γ were significantly higher in young adults compared to the elderly. After the second booster, the levels of IL-6 were still significantly higher in the young adult group compared to the elderly group (p=0.001). Data indicated that after the second booster dose, the levels of TNF-α increased significantly in the young adult group only (p=0.004), while the levels of IL-2 (p=0.040) and IFN-γ (p=0.006) increased in the elderly group only compared to after the first dose. IL-10 levels increased in both groups (both had p=0.020). This study highlights that young adults had stronger pro-inflammatory responses, while the elderly relied more on IL-2 and IFN-γ for T-cell immunity, suggesting the need for vaccination strategies for the elderly to optimize immune responses.

Published: November 2024

The case is highlighting the journey of Mr Rajiv Khera from a seasoned corporate professional to be an Entrepreneur in Gurgaon Region.  Rajeev started Chakki Peesing, an urban floor and spices mill in 2020 during the covid 19 Lockdown. Within 6 months of operations, Chakki Peesing has served over 8000 orders with 2000 unique customers, which according to Rajeev is a significant achievement as he is close to his business projections. Rajeev firmly believed that his business model would work in the B2C segment only as the B2B market is very much price sensitive. However, he was open to the idea of getting into strategic collaborations with gymnasiums and health clubs to promote and sell products. One of the competitive advantages of Chakki Peesing was the access to good quality wheat from Madhya Pradesh along with Rajeev’s on experience in sales and distribution. The initial success of Chakki Peesing can also be attributed to the strong network, which Rajeev and his family had with the upper middle class society of Gurgaon, and to the increased awareness among people for having a healthy lifestyle. The case talks about the business development strategy adopted by Rajeev and his son Dhruv who is also the co-founder of the company and proposed various alternative solutions for future course of action pertaining to business expansion.
Exploration of Reliability and Security of E- Banking: Selected Urban Cooperative banks
Authors: Binal Patel, Ritesh Patel
Published: November 2024

The rise of E-banking has introduced unprecedented convenience and accessibility for users, transforming traditional banking operations into efficient online experiences. However, this shift brings challenges, particularly in terms of security and reliability, as users now expect robust protections for their financial data and consistent, dependable service. This study investigates the perceptions of security and reliability in digital banking among 290 urban cooperative banking customers. Using factor analysis, we explore key dimensions of e-banking services, focusing on elements like encryption, biometric security, and trust in transaction reliability. The analysis identified two primary factors: security and reliability, each with distinct contributions to overall user satisfaction. The factor loadings revealed that users had mixed confidence in encryption technologies and data privacy measures, with some expressing high levels of satisfaction, while others indicated significant concerns. Additionally, reliability emerged as a critical factor, with findings indicating that a notable portion of customers were dissatisfied with the timeliness and trustworthiness of e-banking services. For data collection, a structured survey measured responses on a five-point Likert scale, assessing variables such as trustworthiness, encryption effectiveness, privacy maintenance, and personal security practices. Through the use of descriptive and factor analysis, we quantified customer sentiments and identified patterns in user satisfaction. The results suggest that while there is moderate confidence in digital banking security, the reliability of service delivery remains an area for improvement. Banks should consider addressing these findings by enhancing transparency in their security protocols and strengthening service consistency to better meet user expectations in digital banking environments.
Postface. Pourquoi et comment introduire l’histoire des sciences dans l’enseignement scientifique ? Une tentative de mise en perspective des contributions de l’ouvrage
Authors: Bächtold Manuel
Published: November 2024

Ce chapitre propose une mise en perspective des contributions de l’ouvrage. Deux objectifs d’apprentissage majeurs liés à l’introduction de l’histoire des sciences en classe sont distingués : l’acquisition de connaissances scientifiques et le développement de représentations riches et critiques des sciences. Les enjeux éducatifs sous-jacents à ces objectifs sont également identifiés : la préparation aux métiers scientifiques et la formation de futurs citoyens. Il est pointé que l’intégration de ces objectifs dans les programmes scolaires est relativement récente et qu’elle remplace une approche antérieure de l’histoire des sciences qui servait à transmettre des valeurs morales en réifiant la vérité. La mise en perspective met en lumière le fait que les objectifs d’apprentissage peuvent donner lieu à des stratégies d’enseignement en partie opposées : soit épurer l’histoire des sciences de certains détails pour favoriser l’acquisition de connaissances scientifiques, soit l’enrichir en mettant l’accent sur certaines étapes pour développer les représentations des sciences. Ce chapitre termine par une discussion sur les aspects épistémologiques qui peuvent ou méritent d’être étudiés en classe à partir de l’histoire des sciences.
Recherche en didactique et histoire des sciences. Des origines aux développements actuels
Authors: de Hosson Cécile
Published: November 2024

Aux premières heures de son émergence, à la fin des années 1970, la recherche en didactique des sciences française a formé le projet de rapprocher certains raisonnements d’élèves et d’étudiant·es avec des théories ayant prévalu dans l’histoire des idées. Si ce projet n’a plus vraiment court aujourd’hui, il n’en demeure pas moins que l’histoire des sciences occupe encore une large place dans les recherches contemporaines en éducation scientifique. Dans ce chapitre, nous commençons par présenter les raisons probables, les limites et le caractère potentiellement heuristique de la mise en évidence de ressemblances entre raisonnements individuels et savoirs historiques. Nous présentons ensuite les contours d’une approche théorique et méthodologique pour l’exploration du matériau historique dans une perspective didactique. Nous faisons émerger la légitimité d’une lecture didactique des sources historiques en définissant les termes d’un processus d’élaboration de séquences d’enseignement fondées sur l’histoire des sciences nommées ici « reconstructions didactiques ». Ces reconstructions peuvent être vues comme le produit d’un travail de sélection et d’organisation d’éléments historiques opéré par le chercheur ou la chercheuse en didactique et contraint, notamment, par ce qu’il ou elle sait des difficultés des étudiant·es et par les objectifs d’apprentissage qu’il ou elle se fixe. On illustrera le propos à travers trois exemples.

日本殖民都市的空間設計策略──以臺南大正公園圓環為例
Authors: 柯明賢 柯明賢
Published: November 2024

日本政府於1895年將臺灣納入版圖後，實行殖民統治，然而毫無殖民經驗的日本初期遇到許多的困境。尤其臺南自古即為臺灣的政治、經濟、文化首邑，也是抗日最激烈的城市，是故，總督府須以更謹慎的態度應對，而仿效西方先進國家的治理經驗及技術應是最快速有效的方法。本文以臺南市於日治時期，當局陸續公告的市區改正、市區計劃及都市計劃的空間改造為架構，透過殖民政府所規劃的大正公園圓環為主要彙整、思考、及檢討的對象，以對當時的都市空間系統的原則及目的等進行討論。首先，本文描述晚清臺南府城的空間底蘊及城市基底；其次，探討總督府對臺南市的空間改造計劃，以契合未來發展及潛移默化殖民統治的正當性；最後，從圓環所形成的都市空間體系、功能與價值等進行說明與省思。研究發現，圓環的空間策略是總督府政治性及權威性的空間展示、是居中整合的交通布局和空間體驗、是協助殖民時期的城市治理、也是日人借鏡西方放射狀式都市設計的關鍵處方，這對後續都市計畫與都市設計具有相當的啟示性。Japan acquired Taiwan as a colony in 1895. However, its initial inexperience led to various problems. Taiwan’s oldest city, Tainan, had long been the political, economic, and cultural center of Taiwan. It was also where the Japanese encountered the fiercest resistance. Therefore, the Government-General of Taiwan was forced to treat the city with caution, and the governance experience and techniques of advanced Western countries were regarded as the most effective ones. This article used the Tainan City’s urban corrections, urban expansion plans, and urban plans during the Japanese colonial period. Discuss the principles and purpose of the urban space system at that time. First, this study described the spatial background and urban base of Tainan City in the late Qing Dynasty. Second, analyses were conducted on the space transformation plan of the Governor's Mansion. Finally, the study explored the function and value of the urban space system formed by the roundabout. The study found that the roundabout strategy was the political and authoritative spatial display of the Government-General of Taiwan, the centrally integrated transportation layout and spatial experience, and assisted in the urban governance during the colonial period, and was the technique for Japanese to follow the prescription of Western radial urban design.

室內設計空間類型多元廣泛，包括商業空間、辦公空間、住宅空間，細分又可有所謂餐飲、銷售、廠辦等等，如何讓高等設計教育能夠應付外界不同類型的設計工作是很重要的一環。本研究針對學界、業界之間的學用落差，提出兩個問題1.在室內設計執業領域中其非住宅與住宅空間其工作內容的差異為何？2.針對學用合一之目標，室內設計教育以住宅－－非住宅空間專業分流的可能性？本研究以步驟一質性：「專家訪談法」，討論教育與執業過程中，對於住宅與非住宅兩種類型的專業知能差異探討。步驟二量性：「問卷調查法」，針對文獻與步驟一所整理出的室內設計專業學習項目以問卷了解各項專業知能的差異細節。研究結果發現，本研究所歸納出的31個專業學習項目可分為五大面向探討：1.使用者與使用評估2.專業知識3.溝通與呈現4.文件與法規5.工程管理整合。此五種面向在質性與量性分析皆呈現顯著差異，其中以專業知識差異最大，溝通與呈現差異最小，顯示若想要拉近產學距離，在專業知識面向中高度差異之項目，授課規劃上確實有分流教學之必要。The types of interior design spaces are much diversified, including commercial, office and residential spaces, which can also be divided into food, sales industry, and factory offices. This research is focusing on asking two questions in responding to the gap between the industry and academia.1. What is the difference in the work content between non-residential and residential spaces in interior design practice? 2. Is it possible for interior design education to have professional courses for non-residential space and residential space respectively (streaming)? Step one: Qualitative: expert interview method- this method discusses the difference between residential and non-residential professional knowledge in the process of education and career. Step two: Quantitative: Questionnaire survey method, based on the interior design work items sorted out in the literature and method one, we use questionnaires to understand the detailed differences in professional knowledge of each different category. The results of the study have found that there are 31 professional work items can be divided into five major aspects: 1.User and their evaluation. 2.Professional knowledge. 3.Communication and presentation. 4.Documents and regulations. 5.Project management integration. These five aspects show significant differences in both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Among them, aspects2 is the most significant, while aspects3 is the least significant. This result demonstrates that if we want to narrow down the gap between industry and academia, it will be necessary to teach courses with medium, high level of differences and difficulties by utilizing streaming education.

Reframing Authorship in Abiayala: Marisol Ceh Moo’s Novelistic Production and Authorial Construction
Authors: Diaz-Zanelli Jose Carlos
Published: November 2024

This article considers the novelistic production of Yucatec Maya writer Marisol Ceh Moo and her process of authorial construction as a decolonizing Indigenous cultural intervention. By analyzing the content and impact of her novel X-Teya, u puksi’ik’al ko’olel/Teya, un corazón de mujer (Teya, a Woman’s Heart, 2009), this article elucidates how the adoption of a modern literary genre such as the novel and Indigenous authorial formation create a specific locus of enunciation that aligns with the resistance to cultural coloniality embedded in the heterogeneous Abiayala movement. Moreover, this research reveals the need to rethink the analytical categories that are part of the author theory when it comes to the study of contemporary Indigenous literatures in Latin America.
AN OVERVIEW OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND CO2 EMISSIONS IN IRAN'S RESIDENTIAL SECTOR: ENERGY TRANSITION AND SUBSIDY POLICIES
Authors:   University of Debrecen, ATA Behnam
Published: November 2024

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources has become a critical global issue, particularly in response to climate change. This study aims to analyse the trends in energy consumption and CO2 emissions within Iran's household sector. The findings reveal a significant increase in energy consumption in Iran between 2001 and 2019. Despite the household sector's heavy reliance on fossil fuels, a shift in fuel consumption patterns can be observed, with a transition from oil to natural gas starting in 2008. Electricity generation in Iran is also predominantly fossil fuel-based, with natural gas playing a major role. This underscores the urgent need to reinforce renewable energy sources to mitigate CO2 emissions from the household sector. Another key factor influencing energy consumption in Iran is the country's extensive energy subsidies. The disparity in fuel prices compared to neighbouring countries has also led to fuel smuggling. However, the results show that the twophase subsidy reform plan implemented in 2010 and 2013 did not lead to a reduction in energy consumption. Therefore, further reforms are needed to improve energy equity and reduce CO2 emissions in the household sector.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO NO BRASIL: (RE)SIGNIFICAÇÕES ENTRE AVANÇOS E RETROCESSOS
Authors: De Santana Galvão Érica Raiane , Dos Santos Jânio Nunes , Dos Santos Adriana Cavalcanti
Published: November 2024

Este artigo objetiva analisar os discursos de professores alfabetizadores acerca da Política Nacional de Alfabetização - PNA (BRASIL, 2019) em vista das significações/ressignificações e bricolagem com as políticas anteriores. Desse modo, observa-se o processo de empréstimo e cópia de políticas anteriores, a exemplo do Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa em relação à PNA. Para tanto, vale-se das categorias teóricas bricolagem recorrendo a Ball (2001; 2006) no âmbito da proposta do ciclo de políticas e a Volóchinov (2017) que conceitua o processo de significação pelo viés do signo ideológico em face do processo de constituição dos horizontes dos professores alfabetizadores. Metodologicamente é uma investigação qualitativa (SAMPIERI; COLLADO; LUCIO, 2013), cujos dados foram gerados no contexto de um grupo focal (GATTI, 2005), realizado com 5 professores do Estado de Alagoas. Os resultados indicam: uma recepção positiva da perspectiva de alfabetização prescrita na PNA pelos professores alfabetizadores; a bricolagem do PNAIC com a PNA, a partir da presença de enunciados que reconhecem a importância da relação entre a alfabetização e o letramento, silenciada no/pelo discurso desta. Depreende-se, por fim, que embora a PNA tenha sido revogada oficialmente em 2023, enquanto discurso oficial, os atravessamentos formativos dos professores que participaram do Programa Tempo de aprender não são revogados, pois passam pelo processo de significação/ressignificação e constituição de tais sujeitos, podendo continuar latentes e bricolando, na prática, com a atual política em implementação.

Authors: Zhang Cuifang , Ye Zhiyi , Jiang Haiyun
Published: November 2024

Objective: This study investigates how integrating research practices into financial education can enhance students' learning outcomes, practical skills, and innovation capacity. With the rapid evolution of the financial sector due to globalization and technological advancements, financial education must move beyond traditional theoretical approaches to prepare students for complex real-world challenges. The objective of this research is to explore specific pathways for incorporating research-driven practices into financial curricula to better align education with industry demands. Methods: The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. Surveys were distributed to 461 students and 121 faculty members from four universities—two research-intensive institutions and two applied colleges—aiming to capture diverse perspectives on the integration of research into teaching. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, regression models, and qualitative analysis of interviews with selected participants. The regression analysis focused on the relationship between the frequency of research participation and the development of practical skills and innovation capacity. Results: The regression analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between research participation and improved learning outcomes (β=0.52, p<0.01), practical skills (β=0.47, p<0.01), and innovation capacity (β=0.43, p<0.01). Students who participated in research projects demonstrated a deeper understanding of financial theories, stronger data analysis and decision-making skills, and greater creativity in problem-solving. These results suggest that research engagement significantly enhances students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts. Conclusion: Integrating research practices into financial education bridges the gap between theory and practice, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and innovation among students. Universities should prioritize research-based learning, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary research, university-business collaborations, and digital platforms to expand student access to research experiences. Future studies should explore the role of interdisciplinary research in further enhancing financial education outcomes, particularly through fields such as data science, behavioral economics, and artificial intelligence.
Numerical study of the effect of partial undulations of horizontal isothermal walls on the behavior of a binary fluid in a modified horizontal rectangular cavity
Authors: Abdelhak Maazouzi Mohamed , Benzegaou Ali
Published: November 2024

The influence of partial sinusoidal undulations on the horizontal, isothermal, impermeable walls of a modified horizontal rectangular cavity, with a shape factor A= 10, filled with a binary fluid heated from the bottom or top, on the hydrodynamic, mass and thermal behavior of the considered fluid, was numerically studied. Computational fluid dynamics based on finite element methods was used to establish the numerical simulation of the differential equations governing the coupling of natural convection and thermodiffusion. The numerical results show that the partial undulation of the horizontal walls affects the hydrodynamic behavior of the binary fluid, leading to species migration towards the perfectly insulated vertical walls of the cavity. The numerical control of the mass field of the studied fluid clearly shows that the intensity of species separation towards the two vertical walls increases with bottom heating and with increasing length of the undulated portion Lw and the undulation amplitude a. The variation of the length of the undulated portion Lw and the amplitude of the undulation a also have an impact on the heat transfer presented by the Nusselt number Nu.
Use of pneumatic waste in thermal insulation systems in arid áreas
Authors: Bounoua Tab , Izzeddine Bekkar , Ahmed Tafraoui , Abdelhak Baraka
Published: November 2024

Recent decades have seen a major global concern to protect the environment from non-biodegradable waste as little as possible. On the other hand, the problem of energy saving has emerged. Builders in arid areas and particularly in the Algerian Sahara are always faced with a very difficult choice: “build with traditional and local materials promoting a certain thermal comfort or build with modern materials offering more convenience, aesthetics and space but with less or no thermal comfort and very high consumption of air conditioning energy. The appearance of new materials and the innovation of waste in construction have not only improved the mechanical properties of materials but also energy saving through insulation, waterproofing and even the appearance of the construction.  In the present work, an investigation was undertaken in order to respond to the problem of thermal comfort of construction while getting rid of tires which, through their long life, occupy large environmental spaces and through their incineration contribute to environmental pollution. Numerous tests have been carried out on reduced or real models representing either the floors or the partition walls which represent the two elements which are the main players in the heat transfer of the building. In comparison with the usual materials used in thermal insulation, the innovation of pneumatic waste has shown technical performances and thermal insulation properties superior to those existing on the market, which has the effect of increasing the energy efficiency of the buildings thus generating great economic interest. It is necessary to point out that only the plastic part of the tires was used while the metal part constituting the structural hoops of the tires has a wide use as a reinforcement system.

A metodologia utilizada compreende estudo teórico-bibliográfico e pesquisa de campo. A psicomotricidade enquanto uma ciência que estuda o ser humano, tendo como referência o seu corpo em movimento, proporciona práticas interventivas que desenvolvem os aspectos cognitivos, físicos e neurológicos dos alunos. Considerando alcançar os objetivos, realizamos uma revisão de literatura, em seguida uma pesquisa de campo na escola mencionada. Utilizamos questionários, como instrumento de coleta de informações, com duas professoras da referida escola. Este artigo é de abordagem qualitativa, sendo descritiva e exploratória quanto aos objetivos. Os autores que embasaram este estudo foram Le Boulch (1985), Fonseca (1995), Lapierre e Aucouturier (1986), Dupré (1909), entre outros. Os resultados do estudo mostraram que as educadoras pesquisadas trabalham a psicomotricidade no dia a dia da sala de aula, porém necessitam conhecer mais acerca das especificidades dos fatores psicomotores.

A industrialização da construção civil no Brasil vem ganhando espaço para desenvolvimento e um dos caminhos para a sua realização é a construção em aço. O adequado desempenho das construções metálicas está diretamente ligado ao sistema de cobertura e fechamento empregados. Encontra-se no mercado nacional uma significativa quantidade de sistemas de telhados industrializados e, nesse cenário, o aço inoxidável é uma das opções. Nesse contexto, tendo em vista a necessidade de maior conhecimento desse material quando aplicado nessas condições e sua relação com as edificações estruturadas em aço, nesse artigo trata-se de um estudo acerca da utilização do aço inoxidável em coberturas de edifícios estruturados em aço. O método de investigação consiste de estudos de casos em duas edificações que possuem cobertura em aço inoxidável. Na avaliação, procura-se encontrar quais as vantagens arquitetônicas, econômicas e funcionais ao se utilizar o aço inoxidável nessa situação. Pela análise conclui-se que o aço inoxidável mostra-se como excelente material em coberturas, destacando-se pela sua funcionalidade, uma vez que a necessidade de manutenção das telhas é quase inexistente, e que seu alto custo inicial pode ser compensado pela durabilidade e continuidade de seu efeito estético.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento de estudantes de medicina sobre possíveis tratamentos para o câncer e a fonte desse conhecimento. Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal, utilizando metodologia indutiva, por meio de questionário impresso a estudantes de medicina. Foram coletadas 240 respostas. Foram aplicados a análise de variância de Kruskal Wallis e o teste Qui-quadrado. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, com CAAE: 46076621.0.0000.0081. Ao abordar o mecanismo endógeno contra o câncer, observou-se alto percentual de acertos para o ciclo clínico, pois apresentaram 80% de acertos. O mesmo grupo apresentou maior percentual de acertos quando questionado sobre o tipo de neoplasias que as células CAR-T podem ser utilizadas (P<0,0001). Mais da metade dos estudantes relatou que obteve seu conhecimento por meio das aulas curriculares. A terapia com células CAR-T, consiste em alterar geneticamente os linfócitos T do paciente, acoplando sua membrana a receptores de antígenos quiméricos, possibilitando identificar proteínas de membrana presentes em células cancerígenas. É inovadora e apresenta resultados surpreendentes, principalmente contra neoplasias hematológicas, como leucemia linfoide aguda e linfoma não-Hodgkin. Entretanto, no curso de graduação, a terapia oncológica clássica é abordada, e a imunoterapia é mencionada como um conhecimento adicional. Portanto, seria interessante que futuros profissionais da saúde conhecessem os tratamentos atuais para neoplasias hematológicas como as células CAR-T.

O câncer de mama é o câncer de maior prevalência entre mulheres no mundo, incluindo o Brasil.  Nas últimas estatísticas mundiais, de 2020, foram estimados 2,3 milhões de casos novos de câncer e 685 mil óbitos pela doença até 2025. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores associados à sobrevida em cinco anos de pacientes com câncer de mama que realizaram tratamento em um Hospital Terciário no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, por meio de uma coorte histórica. Foram incluídas pacientes com período de 5 anos pós-diagnóstico completados até 31/12/2019. Foram analisados 827 prontuários dos anos de 2010 a 2014. O desfecho investigado foi o óbito em decorrência do câncer de mama. No modelo multivariável, os fatores associados à maior sobrevida foram estadiamento em estágios I e II e não ser Triplo negativo. A sobrevida em cinco anos foi de 82%. Ao final do estudo, 626 (75,7%) pacientes estavam vivas, 201 (24,3%) morreram, sendo que 184 (22,2%) a causa da morte foi câncer de mama e 17 (2%) por outras causas. Através destes fatores, fica evidente a relevância da detecção precoce, início do tratamento e seguimento completo do mesmo para melhor prognóstico e sobrevida.
Emotional Intelligence of Chinese Teachers and its Impact on Classroom Dynamics and Student Engagement

Published: November 2024

This research investigates the correlation between teachers' emotional intelligence and classroom dynamics, as well as the level of involvement shown by students in a university environment through a descriptive correlational methodology. Using Daniel Goleman's framework, the assessment focused on many aspects of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The study also assessed the dynamics inside the classroom, including how it was managed, the instructional tactics used, the overall atmosphere, the level of differentiation, and the effectiveness of communication. Additionally, it examined the level of student involvement, including the meaningfulness of activities, the students' sense of competence, the support for their autonomy, the extent of collaborative learning, and their orientation towards mastery. Validated self-designed questionnaires were used to gather data from 30 instructors and 900 students. The findings reveal that instructors assessed their emotional intelligence as moderate, with empathy being the greatest and social skills being the lowest. Students evaluated classroom dynamics as somewhat successful in managing, creating an atmosphere, adapting to individual needs, and effectively using teaching methods and communicating. The engagement levels were moderate for meaningful activities and mastery orientation but low for competence, autonomy support, and collaborative learning. Correlation analysis indicated that there were no significant connections between teachers' overall emotional intelligence and students' assessments of classroom dynamics or participation. This implies that emotional intelligence does not directly impact these elements.

The present study was conducted to know the percentage of occurrence of twisted trees in some natural high resin yielding stands of Himachal Pradesh. Four forest divisions, viz., Solan, Kunihar, Dharamshala and Hamirpur were selected and four sample plots were randomly laid out in each division. Quantitative measurements were made and locality conditions were recorded in the sample plots. Chi-square test was used to study the association of degree of twist with other tree characters. The test revealed that the degree of twist does not influence any characters of tree, viz., height, dbh, clear bole, crown width, bole shape, needle colour, needle length, number, position and size of resin canals in the needle cross section, tracheid length and degree of twist in the tracheids.
The sum of four squares: An exploration of Lagrange's theorem and its legacy in number theory
Authors: Cheng Yifan
Published: November 2024

Lagranges Four-square Theorem is a fundamental principle in number theory, which states that every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of four squares. The theorem was first conjectured by the Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria in the 3rd century CE. It was later proved by Pierre de Fermat in the 17th century, and the first published proof was attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1770. This paper presents a comprehensive account of the four-square theorem in number theory, which focuses on finding integer solutions to polynomial equations. The theorem has significantly advanced the study of Diophantine equations. It traces Lagranges Four-square Theorem from its conjectural origins to its emergence as a cornerstone of contemporary mathematical research. This paper reviews the proof of the theorem and its implications, as well as its connection to modern research and applications, highlighting its timeless relevance in mathematics. In addition, the paper reaffirms the extensive influence of the theorem on the advancement of Diophantine equations and its ongoing significance in elucidating the enigmas of number theory. This enhances our comprehension of the theorems position in the wider story of mathematical progress, confirming its significance in both historical and contemporary contexts.
