Published: July 2023

The United States Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe (1982) that all immigrants, regardless of their legal immigration status under federal law, have a fundamental right to K-12 education. Despite having a constitutional right to K-12 education, immigrants’ right to postsecondary education remains contested and is shaped by federal and state laws on the matter. This article examines 40,469 news articles from 1980 to 2022 covering the fight over immigrant’s right to education, guided by the questions: what frames do reporters construct about immigrants and education, and what role do experts mentioned in an article play in the construction of these frames? Combining machine learning techniques and social network analysis with qualitative coding of news articles by hand, argue that reporters’ use of a range of experts creates a deep conflation of education with immigration enforcement and illegality framing. Thus, despite the quest for journalistic neutrality, the use of experts by reporters across progressive and conservative news sources prevents education from being a topic on its own whenever it includes immigrant children.

O presente artigo tem por desígnio realizar uma varredura da literatura médica vigorante sobre o sequenciamento do Genoma Humano, realizado majoritariamente pela iniciativa internacional Projeto Genoma Humano (PGH), iniciada no ano de 1990, sendo de grande relevância no meio científico. O completo sequenciamento foi finalizado somente 20 anos depois, pela iniciativa privada Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T). O conhecimento do genoma humano levantou problemáticas éticas e sociais, demandando a criação do Ethical, Legal and Social Implications Research Program (ELSI). Os anos de estudos exigiram a criação de novas tecnologias, além de campos da ciência antes não existentes, como da medicina personalizada, incluindo a farmacogenômica, as quais têm impactado diretamente no diagnóstico e tratamento de doenças relacionadas ao perfil genético de cada indivíduo. Foram empregados como motores de pesquisa as bases de dados SciELO, PubMed, Google Acadêmico, Science Direct, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), além das plataformas National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), Nature, Open Science Journal Nature, e Phd Scientific Review, por meio dos descritores “Genoma humano, Tratamento, Éticas, Sequenciamento, Ciência”.Conclusivamente, o PGH permitiu o conhecimento do genoma humano, ao mesmo tempo que vem possibilitando aplicações, principalmente no diagnóstico de doença, contudo ainda há um alto custo financeiro envolvido, o que traz dificuldades no amplo uso delas.

Ferroptosis is a regulated cell death implicated in various diseases, including stroke. We have explored the ferroptosis related key genes and the underlying association with acute ischemic stroke. Differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs in ischemic stroke were screened based on the GSE16561 and GSE95204 datasets, respectively. Ferroptosis-related genes were downloaded from the FerrDb and GeneCards databases. Eleven ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were identified. Based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis, three key modules were identified as being closely associated with stroke. Furthermore, two hub genes, lysosomal associated membrane protein 2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, were selected by a support vector machine-based recursive feature elimination algorithm based on machine learning and showed excellent diagnostic accuracy in stroke, with an area under the curve value of 0.939 and 0.875 in the GSE16561 cohort, respectively. Furthermore, the Comparative Toxicogenomic Database predicted 24 potential therapeutic drugs targeting the two hub genes. To sum up, the identification of hub genes associated with ferroptosis and acute ischemic stroke based on bioinformatics analysis may contribute to the exploration of promising diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers and provide clues for the prediction of therapeutic candidates.

Online financial crimes are on the rise in the recent past in India. The Reserve Bank of India is taking lot of initiatives in this regard on a continuous basis. Despite the continuous measures and awareness by the topmost banking regulator, the perpetrators are doing their fraudulent activities continuously. The perpetrators use lots of tricks and techniques to win the trust of the public so as to defraud them. The ignorant and innocent public also fall prey to their cunning tricks and get victimised by losing money. Lesser amount of fraud may not seem to be a big threat at the first sight. But if we calculate the aggregate of all the money lost in our country in a particular period, surely it will be an alarm for the policy makers. Also, the duped money may lead to terror funding. The fraudsters become more innovative than the techies. There were considerable number of frauds recorded in the last 2 years in India in which the fraudsters pose themselves as armed forces to win the trust of the public and defraud them. The trust and the sentiments of the public towards the security personnels of the country is misused by the perpetrators for defrauding. This article collects a bunch of real time cases published in various leading newspapers as a sample and analyses the real cause and reason for the online financial crimes by imposters as armed forces and provide suggestions to prevent the same. This article may be the first of its kind to analyse how the people are getting trapped by using the name of armed forces.

The fast and accurate reversed-phase HPLC method was predicated on qualitative and quantitative estimation of the total concentrations of the essential thiols in the plasma of adults volunteers compared with epileptic patients, which is l-cysteine (Cys) total homocysteine (tHys), cysteinyl glycine (Cys-Gly), glutathione (GSH) and cysteamine (Cstm), respectively. The plasma samples of (50) epileptic patients were classified into three groups; the non-anti-epileptic drug consisted of 20 patients (12 male, eight female) who were mainly diagnosed with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. The mean age was 34 ± 13 (range 19–48) years. The second group consisted of 30 patients receiving two types of anti-epileptic drugs, 18 patients (12 male and six female) receiving Carbamazepine, and 12 patients (7 males and five female) receiving phenytoin. The mean age of the patients was 32 ± 11 Compared with 31 healthy volunteers (20 male and 11 female). The mean age of the controls was 31 ± 9 (range 26–49 years). The mean duration of treatment of patients receiving the anti-epileptic drug was six months). All measurement was done using pre-column derivatization with bromobimane, and the derivative of each standard mixture were baseline separated on C18-DB (50 x 4.6 mm ID) column, 3μm particle size. The regression coefficients for the separated and standard deviation SD within-run ranged from 0.09 to 8.40 μmol/L, and between-run ranged from 0.15to 9.16 μmol/L; the analytical procedure gave good linearity in the range between 1.25 to 20 µmole/ l, the detection limit was 0.1 µmole /L for all the thiol groups. Analytical recovery was 96.9–107.4 %; the mean concentration of plasma cysteine and total homocysteine was slightly higher in males than females; it was 221± 75 for adult males and 190± 44 μmol/L for adult females, while t-homocysteine was (10.55 ±2.45 vs. 9.79 ± 1.88 μmol/L, the results observed that the value of cysteine and homocysteine were significantly higher in epileptic patients using Carbamazepine and phenytoin than in healthy volunteers. Mean values for glutathione were lower, while cysteinyl glycine showed no significant difference in healthy and epileptic patients and no sex- and age-dependent.

The paper develops the idea of interpreting delusion based on Gallagher's “multiple realities” perspective. The self is considered to be permanently involved in different scenarios, including fictional ones, such as watching a play or reading a novel. The narrative theories of personality also discuss the involvement of the self in various scenarios, but with the possibility of returning to its basic, biographical identity. Delusion is interpreted as a “fall” in a role of an aberrant scenario, which the subject cannot escape from. The multiple realities are discussed from Mircea Eliade's perspective regarding the sacral time of the myth that forms the background for the time and structure of the fictional narratives. The normal psyche is characterized by a meta-representational structure, which allows the self to play the roles in different life scenarios. Delusion is interpreted as the alteration of the “autonoetic consciousness” and of the “mental time travel” structure.
Testing SALT Approximations with Numerical Radiation Transfer Code. I. Validity and Applicability

Published: July 2023

Absorption line spectroscopy offers one of the best opportunities to constrain the properties of galactic outflows and the environment of the circumgalactic medium. Extracting physical information from line profiles is difficult; however, for the physics governing the underlying radiation transfer is complicated and depends on many different parameters. Idealized analytical models are necessary to constrain the large parameter spaces efficiently, but are typically plagued by model degeneracy and systematic errors. Comparison tests with idealized numerical radiation transfer codes offer an excellent opportunity to confront both of these issues. In this paper, we present a detailed comparison between SALT, an analytical radiation transfer model for predicting UV spectra of galactic outflows, with the numerical radiation transfer software, RASCAS. Our analysis has led to upgrades to both models including an improved derivation of SALT and a customizable adaptive mesh refinement routine for RASCAS. We explore how well SALT, when paired with a Monte Carlo fitting procedure, can recover flow parameters from nonturbulent and turbulent flows. Overall we find that turbulence leads to biases in the recovery of kinematic parameters and the optical depth, but find that derived quantities (e.g., mass outflow rates, column density, etc.) are still well recovered. From the analysis, we estimate average uncertainties in our ability to measure metal flow rates spanning 0.65 (0.95) dex in M
⊙ yr−1 and uncertainties spanning 0.54 (0.94) dex in cm−2 for column densities at a resolution of 20 (100) km s−1 and signal-to-noise ratio = 10.
Enhanced Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks due to Precession-induced Resonances
Authors: Gautham Bhaskar Hareesh , Li Gongjie , Lin Douglas
Published: July 2023

Recent studies have shown that active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks can host sources of gravitational waves. Compact binaries can form and merge in AGN disks through their interactions with the gas and other compact objects in the disk. It is also possible for the binaries to shorten the merging timescale due to eccentricity excitation caused by perturbations from the supermassive black hole (SMBH). In this paper, we focus on effects due to precession-induced (eviction-like) resonances, where the nodal and apsidal precession rates of the binary are commensurable with the mean motion of the binary around the SMBH. We focus on intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH)–stellar-mass black hole binaries and consider binary orbit inclined from the circum-IMBH disk, which leads to the orbital J
2 precession. We show that if a binary is captured in these resonances and is migrating toward the companion, it can undergo large eccentricity and inclination variations. We derive analytical expressions for the location of fixed points, libration timescale, and width for these resonances and identify two resonances in the near-coplanar regime (the evection and eviction resonances) as well as two resonances in the near-polar regime that can lead to mergers. We also derive analytical expressions for the maximum eccentricity that a migrating binary can achieve for given initial conditions. Specifically, the maximum eccentricity can reach 0.9 when captured in these resonances before orbital decay due to gravitational-wave emission dominates, and the capture is only possible for slow migration (∼10 Myr) two to three orders of magnitude longer than the resonance libration timescale. We also show that capture into multiple resonances is possible and can further excite eccentricities.
Hydrodynamic Mixing of Accretion Disk Outflows in Collapsars: Implications for r-process Signatures
Authors: Barnes Jennifer , Duffell Paul C.
Published: July 2023

The astrophysical environments capable of triggering heavy-element synthesis via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) remain uncertain. While binary neutron star mergers (NSMs) are known to forge r-process elements, certain rare supernovae (SNe) have been theorized to supplement—or even dominate—r-production by NSMs. However, the most direct evidence for such SNe, unusual reddening of the emission caused by the high opacities of r-process elements, has not been observed. Recent work identified the distribution of r-process material within the SN ejecta as a key predictor of the ease with which signals associated with r-process enrichment could be discerned. Though this distribution results from hydrodynamic processes at play during the SN explosion, thus far it has been treated only in a parameterized way. We use hydrodynamic simulations to model how disk winds—the alleged locus of r-production in rare SNe—mix with initially r-process-free ejecta. We study mixing as a function of the wind mass, wind duration, and the initial SN explosion energy, and find that it increases with the first two of these and decreases with the third. This suggests that SNe accompanying the longest long-duration gamma-ray bursts are promising places to search for signs of r-process enrichment. We use semianalytic radiation transport to connect hydrodynamics to electromagnetic observables, allowing us to assess the mixing level at which the presence of r-process material can be diagnosed from SN light curves. Analytic arguments constructed atop this foundation imply that a wind-driven r-process-enriched SN model is unlikely to explain standard energetic SNe.

High-resolution absorption, dispersed fluorescence emission, and photoionization cross sections are presented for gas-phase adamantane excited by synchrotron radiation in the exciting-photon energy range of 6–30 eV. Relative and absolute absorption cross sections of so-far unmatched resolution of down to 0.27 cm−1 line width in the region from 6.4–28 eV are shown along with newly discovered vibronic substructures around the HOMO–LUMO transition. Absorption line positions are provided with very high accuracy and listed in tabular form to be used as spectral fingerprints for the detection of adamantane in interstellar media, where its column density may be determined via the absolute cross sections. The fluorescence emission lies in the ultraviolet range from 190–250 nm and is excited starting at the HOMO–LUMO transition at 6.49 eV, which corresponds to the highest fluorescence emission energy. Hitherto unreported fluorescence in the same spectral range and relative photoionization cross sections in the exciting-photon energy range up to 30 eV are also presented along with lifetime measurements for differentiation of the involved electronic states.
The LSST Cadence Impact on Non-time-critical Eclipsing Binary Science
Authors: Prša Andrej , Yoachim Peter , Jones Lynne
Published: July 2023

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is slated to commence in 2025 at the Vera Rubin Observatory. One of the crucial parts of preparing the survey is the choice of observing cadence in an effort to optimize auxiliary science goals while maintaining the core project requirements. Here we look at the impact of proposed cadences, encoded in different operation simulations (opsims), on non-time-critical eclipsing binary science. This is particularly pertinent because LSST is the first large-scale survey that will provide us with color information in addition to high-precision coverage of faint targets. We study the differences between the baseline opsim v2.1 and the latest opsim v3.0 runs. We find that all runs provide sufficient data coverage to enable in-depth studies in the field of eclipsing binaries, and that there are no adverse impacts from any proposed opsim modification studied here.
Elliptic cross sections in blood flow regulation
Authors: Brimacombe Chris , Corless Robert M. , Zamir Mair
Published: July 2023

Arterial deformations arise in blood flow when surrounding tissue invades the space available for a blood vessel to maintain its circular cross section, the most immediate effects being a reduction in blood flow and redistribution of shear stress. Here we consider deformations from circular to elliptic cross sections. Solution of this problem in steady flow is fairly straightforward. The focus in the present paper is on pulsatile flow where the change from circular to elliptic cross sections is associated with a transition in the character of the equations governing the flow from Bessel to Mathieu equations. The main aim of our study is to examine the hemodynamic consequences of the change from circular to elliptic cross sections and on possible implications of this change in blood flow regulation. The study of this problem has been hampered in the past because of difficulties involved in the solution of the governing equations. In the present study we describe methods we have used to overcome some of these difficulties and present a comprehensive set of results based on these methods. In particular, vessel deformation is examined under two different conditions relevant to blood flow regulation: (i) keeping cross sectional area constant and (ii) keeping cross sectional circumference constant. The results provide an important context for the mechanism of neurovascular control of blood flow under the pathological conditions of vessel deformation. The difficulty which has characterized this problem is that it involves elements of mathematics which are well outside the scope of a clinical/physiological study, while it actually involves clinical/physiological elements which are well outside the scope of a mathematical study. We hope that the context which we provide in this paper helps resolve this difficulty.
CFD Validation of Small Quadrotor Performance using CREATE - AV Helios
Authors:   Boston University, Thai Austin ,   US Army CCDC AvMC, Jain Rohit , Grace Sheryl
Published: July 2023

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of a small quadrotor were conducted using CREATE™-AV Helios. Two near-body CFD solvers and multiple turbulence models including transition models available in Helios were tested. The DJI Phantom 3 was chosen as a representative configuration because it has been studied extensively and is typical of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles. The airfoil at three-quarters span of the rotor geometry was extracted to perform both two-dimensional (2D) airfoil and three-dimensional (3D) wing studies in order to determine appropriate grid spacings for use with the various models. Isolated rotor simulations for DJI Phantom 3 rotor in hover utilizing appropriate grids were completed for fully turbulent and turbulence transition models. The predicted thrust from all of the methods lie within experimental uncertainty. The Spalart Allmaras model gave consistent results across the two CFD solvers and was most computationally efficient. As such it was chosen for the simulations of the full quadrotor performance in hover. The results indicate that a transition model is not required in order to obtain satisfactory thrust predictions as compared to experiment for a small quadrotor in hover using the Helios package. However, the figure of merit is underpredicted by both fully turbulent and transition models. Therefore, the effect of transition modeling on torque prediction needs further investigation.

Woodward regulations are countless units of empirically derived guidelines which try to predict the wavelength of the absorption most λmax in an ultraviolet-visible spectrum of a given compound. Inpute used in the calculation are the kind of chromophores present, the auxochromes substituents on the chromophores, and solvent. Example is conjugated carbonyl compound conjugated dienes, and polyenes. One set of Woodward-fishers policies for dienes is outlined is both homoannular with each double bonds contained in one ring or heteroannular with double bonds disbursed between two rings. With the useful resource of these regulations the UV absorption most can be predicted

Published: July 2023

Bovine meat is vital in the daily diet of populations in general and sub-Saharan Africa. However, the process of slaughtering cattle and the distribution route to the hands of consumers is still not respected. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate beef safety and hygiene from the slaughter process up to its marketing in the Lushois market.This was a cross-sectional descriptive observational study ( April 1st to September 1st, 2020). The study population consisted of cattle slaughterers, herders, veterinary inspectors, meat drivers and beef sellers from the public slaughterhouse in Lubumbashi. Data was collected using observation, semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. Three (3) health conditions were encountered in beef portions from the public Abattoir in Lubumbashi: distomatosis, nephritis and cysts in the liver. To counteract this in the event of these health conditions was the scraping and ablation; lack of database on health problems encountered at the public slaughterhouse; All the bovine animals, i.e. 100% (254) of the bovine animals sent to the public slaughterhouse had no indication or document on their state of health. No microbiological or physicochemical analysis was carried out at the public Abattoir of Lubumbashi for the health monitoring of beefs.Hygiene conditions in the slaughtering process did not meet the standards of good hygiene practices in the breeding, slaughtering-cutting and charcuterie industries. Measures must therefore be taken at several levels by the players in the sector (public authorities, veterinarians and breeders) to guarantee the safety of foodstuffs of animal origin.

Abstract. Within the coastal zone, salt marshes are atmospheric CO2 sinks and represent an essential component of biological carbon (C) stored on Earth due to a strong primary production. Significant amounts of C are processed within these tidal systems which requires a better understanding of the temporal CO2 flux dynamics, the metabolic processes involved and the controlling factors. Within a temperate salt marsh (French Atlantic coast), continuous CO2 exchange measurements were performed by the atmospheric eddy covariance technique to assess the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) at diurnal, tidal and seasonal scales and the associated relevant biophysical drivers. During emersion, NEE fluxes were partitioned into net ecosystem production (NEP), gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Reco) to study marsh metabolic processes. Over the year 2020, the measured net C balance was -483 g C m-2 yr-1 while GPP and Reco absorbed and emitted 1019 and 533 g C m-2 yr-1, respectively. The highest CO2 uptake was recorded in spring during the growing season for halophyte plants in relationships with favourable environmental conditions for photosynthesis whereas in summer, higher temperatures and lower humidity rates increased ecosystem respiration. At the diurnal scale, the salt marsh was a CO2 sink during daytime, mainly driven by light, and a CO2 source during night-time, mainly driven by temperature, irrespective of emersion or immersion periods. However, daytime immersion strongly affected NEE at the daily scale by reducing marsh CO2 uptake up to 90 %. During night-time immersion, CO2 emissions could be completely suppressed, even causing a change in metabolic status from source to sink under certain situations, especially in winter when Reco rates were lowest. At the annual scale, tidal rhythm did not significantly affect the net C balance of the studied salt marsh since similar annual values of measured NEE and estimated NEP were recorded.

Goldstein's Patientology based on his Brain-Injury Research
Authors:   The Korean Association for Philosophy of Medicine, Kim Huilim , YEO IN SOK
Published: July 2023

Goldstein, a German neurologist and physician, devoted his professional life to treating numerous patients with brain injuries. Among these was Schneider, a World War I veteran, who was unable to utter an abstract sentence as simple as “The snow is black.” Goldstein observed another patient who could intricately draw a church window from memory, but failed to produce a simple square. Likewise, some patients could discern various colors but struggled to categorize similar shades and assign them correct names. For Goldstein, these patients’ predicaments were not merely physical or chemical deviations from a normal condition. Instead, they became patients due to a shrinkage in their world, making them heavily dependent on environmental stimuli and limiting their response spectrum. According to Goldstein, a normal, healthy state involves the ability to think abstractly and categorically, maintain some detachment from the milieu's stimuli, and not be solely bound by its concrete demands. Within this framework, Goldstein strived to help patients grappling with pathological conditions to lead the most fulfilling lives possible in their shrunken world. His philosophy of medicine paves the way for the study of “patientology,” an ontological exploration of the state of being a patient. This ontological approach to understanding the inherent potential of humans becoming patients offers deep insights into our contemporary medical environment, where individuals may live significant portions of their lives in hospital settings.

Published: July 2023

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting our systems, networks, and programmes from cyber attackers and it aims to access, alter, or destroy sensitive information that affects normal processes. Cybersecurity specialists are constantly searching for new, cutting-edge strategies, where the various methods that cybercriminals can use to attack. According to the Cyber Security & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), “Cyber security is the art of protecting networks, devices and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of information”. Cybersecurity protects against theft and loss of all forms of data, including sensitive data, protected health information (PHI), personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, personal information, data, and systems used by governments and businesses hence it is essential. One of the most important aspects of cybersecurity is End-user Protection. All software and hardware used by end users must be scanned at regular intervals as there can be malicious threats.

Authors: Martins Maria Carolina Pinto , Dorigan Gisele Hespanhol
Published: July 2023

A dor é definida como uma experiência subjetiva, e a eficácia do tratamento e das condutas que devem ser seguidas está diretamente relacionada à sua mensuração por meio de instrumentos específicos, validados para essa finalidade. Este estudo visa identificar na literatura nacional da área de Enfermagem artigos que abordem o uso de instrumentos para a mensuração da dor. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão de literatura, no qual foram incluídos 11 artigos selecionados a partir das seguintes bases de dados eletrônicas: Bireme, SciELO, Lilacs e BDENF. Identificou-se que a maioria das publicações estava relacionada aos pacientes em pós-operatório e a pacientes recém-nascidos e que o instrumento para a mensuração da dor mais frequentemente utilizado é a Escala Visual Numérica. Dessa forma, foi possível identificar na literatura nacional os instrumentos mais utilizados em pesquisas na área de Enfermagem para avaliação da dor, bem como o sujeito alvo dessas pesquisas.
Análise de gestão de uma obra da construção civil
Authors: Cruz Maria Juliana Góes Coelho da , Gomes Alba Sena
Published: July 2023

O crescimento do setor da construção civil, apesar de ter aumentado, consideravelmente, entre os anos de 1994 e 2014, tem mostrado uma deficiência no que diz respeito à qualidade, custo e prazo. Fato esse que ocorre, muitas vezes, devido à falta de conciliação entre a obra e o setor de planejamento, ou até mesmo à falta de aplicação de métodos e de modelos de gestão eficazes. Com base nesse contexto, este trabalho propõe analisar o modelo de gestão seguido por uma construtora, identificar os principais problemas, analisar suas causas e propor alguns pontos de melhoria que podem alcançar resultados satisfatórios. Percebe-se a importância da utilização de ferramentas de planejamento e controle no desígnio de se obter melhorias durante a gestão de uma obra da construção civil. A identificação dos principais problemas e a análise de suas causas torna-se o primeiro passo para a reversão de um quadro que se apresenta caótico. Com isso, é possível a implantação de planos de ações que possibilitem o andamento do modelo de gestão, a fim de se atingir os objetivos mais almejados pelas organizações: cumprir prazos, reduzir custos e produzir com qualidade.
Acessibilidade e inclusão urbana
Authors: Lacerda Wériclis Antonio Duarte Barbosa de , Pacheco Laura Hansen , Dias Camila Santos
Published: July 2023

Tomando como referência os 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) propostos pela Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), notamos que o ODS 11 centraliza suas ações e metas na premissa de tornar as cidades, comunidades e os assentamentos urbanos inclusivos, seguros e sustentáveis. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é propor uma reflexãosobre o ODS11, articulando as metas compreendidas nele e a inclusão social de pessoas com deficiência em ambientes públicos, sob a ótica da Psicologia. Partindo desse princípio, esta pesquisa configura-se como sendo de natureza qualitativa, exploratória de revisão bibliográfica narrativa. Entende-se que as pessoas com deficiência não possuem a limitação em si, como foi considerado por muito tempo com base no modelo médico da deficiência, mas que as incapacidades são fruto da interação dessas pessoas com os ambientes inacessíveis e não inclusivos. Diante dessa perspectiva, acredita-se que a Psicologia pode contribuir efetivamente para essa temática, no que diz respeito à conscientização dos cidadãos sobre a importância da inclusão, mobilidade e acessibilidade urbana, como também assegurando que os direitos das pessoas com deficiência sejam garantidos.
The Realities of Choi's Nakrang kingdom in Literature Comparison
Authors:   The Academy of Real Korean History, Lee Changoo
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this article is to reveal the reality of the Nakrang kingdom(Nakrang-guk), which was hidden by the Nakrang-gun of the Han Dynasty in our history. In Korean history, there is another political force called Nakrang kingdom in addition to the name of Nakrang-gun, but it is unknown.
Lee Byung-do, a former member of the Japanese Government-General of Korea, who took control of the Korean history after liberation, made the establishment of Nakrang-gun a fait accompli and claimed that it was in the present Daedong River in Pyongyang.
This colonial view gave a negative perception of Choi-ri, the king of Nakrang kingdom, in the book ‘Samguk-Sagi’, and made him block the study of Nakrang kingdom.
Earlier, Shin Chae-ho argued that the Nakrang kingdom and Nakrang-gun of Choi-ri were in different areas. From the same point of view, Lee Ji-rin and Yoon Nae-hyun argued that Pyongyang had a separate “Choi-ri's Nakrang kingdom”. They commonly named this country “Choi's Nakrang kingdom” and viewed it as a successor to Gojoseon.
Nevertheless, it was not possible to know in detail when and who founded Choi's Nakrang kingdom and how much territory it had. On this issue, a book called ‘BukbuYeo-gi’ reveals that a man named Choi-Soong crossed the sea to Mahan and entered Wanggeomseong Fortress in 195 B.C.
In addition, the book ‘Taebaek-Ilsa’ reveals that not only Pyongyang but also the Haeseong area of Liaodong was the territory of the Nakrang kingdom.
Based on these new facts, it will be recognized that it already existed in Pyongyang of the Nakrang kingdom of the Choi clan before the establishment of Nakrang-gun (108 BC).

Dentre as Doenças Tropicais Negligenciadas (DTNs), caracterizadas por ter impacto significativo sobre indivíduos de zonas socioeconomicamente afetadas, estão as geo-helmintíases, causadas por parasitas vermiformes presentes no solo. Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale e Necator americanus são os agentes etiológicos deste grupo de patologias e estão associados a complicações física e cognitiva nos infectados, principalmente em crianças em idade escolar e pré-escolar. Geralmente, o diagnóstico laboratorial para as geo-helmintíases é precedido de uma anamnese, sendo o seu resultado útil para além de avaliar quadros clínicos, contemplando também a observância da eficácia de estratégias de controle implementadas em regiões endêmicas. A quimioterapia profilática é, desde muito tempo, uma estratégia adotada para manejo das infecções parasitárias em questão, entretanto vem se mostrando como uma alternativa a ser melhor ponderada, em detrimento de seus efeitos adversos e potencial desenvolvimento de resistência por parte dos parasitas. Aliado a estes fatos, o desinteresse industrial relacionado ao desenvolvimento de medicamentos inovadores para o tratamento das geo-helmintíases, coloca estas doenças negligenciadas em situações ainda mais alarmantes, pelo desenfreado acometimento de indivíduos ao redor do mundo. Ainda há muito a ser feito, mas estratégias como o roteiro para eliminar DTNs dos problemas de saúde pública, entre 2021 e 2030, elaborado pela OMS, dentre ações locais por parte de alguns países, oportunizam a destinação de recursos e saberes para as intempéries que afetam a qualidade de vida de indivíduos menos abastados.
Significante vazio na disputa curricular dos anos iniciais: reflexões sobre leitura e escrita
Authors: Ramos Reybia Bueno , Magalhães Ceane Dias , Dos Santos Geniana
Published: July 2023

Este texto problematiza sentidos atribuídos à leitura e à escrita no contexto dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Insta, a partir dos resultados da Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL), discutir tal relação nos estudos acadêmicos desenvolvidos em um intervalo de dez anos. Esse enfoque possibilita compreender a flutuação retórica de comunidades epistêmicas (DIAS e LOPES, 2006) acerca do tema em tela, indicando discursos e projeções de identidade aos leitores e à leitura, ao passo que situa a relação estabelecida entre leitura e escrita no bojo das práticas escolares com crianças. O aporte teórico estratégico assumido é a Teoria do Discurso de Ernesto Laclau (2011; 2013) e a perspectiva discursiva de currículo a partir de Lopes e Macedo (2011), Pinar (2016) e Santos (2017; 2019). Como resultado da RSL, foi possível destacar, ainda que inicialmente, que as atividades de leitura e escrita são condensadas por meio da significação de alfabetização e letramento, algo evidenciado também nos documentos curriculares hodiernos. Destaca-se a centralidade da proficiência como significante estruturante das políticas educacionais para a Educação Básica. A demanda por proficiência em leitura e escrita, conforme indicam os estudos, disputa espaço com o trabalho textual desenvolvido pelos professores. De modo hegemônico, nesse contexto retórico, destacam-se teorias e perspectivas cognitivas para o trabalho com a linguagem na sala de aula, deixando a perspectiva dialógica e cultural à margem dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem nos anos iniciais. Tal essencialização dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem na validação de proficiências artificializa e promove performatividade (Ball, 2010) entre as crianças. Tais experiências com a leitura e a escrita são pouco potencializadoras para o desenvolvimento integral desses sujeitos em contextos escolares, intencionalidade retoricamente evocada para a formação de sujeitos escolares nas políticas curriculares.
