Authors: Da Silva Élida Brandão , Baima Marliane da Costa , Da Silva Manuelle Rodrigues , De Sousa Francisca Mairana Silva , Da Silva Maria Nauside Pessoa
Published: July 2023

Introdução: A violência contra a mulher, também denominada como violência doméstica, conjugal, intrafamiliar ou matrimonial é uma das formas mais comuns de violência contra a mulher, e compreende o abuso físico, psicológico, sexual e atitudes controladoras praticadas pelo parceiro. Objetivo: Descrever acerca da assistência de enfermagem às mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de natureza descritiva e abordagem qualitativa. Foram considerados elegíveis artigos completos, publicados entre 2018 e março de 2023, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Foram excluídos estudos duplicados e àqueles cujo título, resumo e objetivo não atendiam a pergunta norteadora do presente estudo. As buscas foram realizadas na base eletrônica da PubMed e na Biblioteca BVS. Para nortear a busca, foram aplicados os DeCS e o MeSH. Ademais, utilizou-se os operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”, assim como os parênteses e aspas para facilitar a busca dos manuscritos. Resultados e Discussão: A amostra foi composta por 10 artigos, sendo o ano de 2022 o período com mais publicações, totalizando cinco artigos. O ano de 2020 teve quatro publicações e o ano de 2018 apenas uma. Os resultados mostraram que assistência de enfermagem às mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica deve ser pautada nas seguintes características: acolhimento, vínculo, diálogo, comunicação, investigação e notificação dos casos de violência, sistematização da assistência no cuidado, identificação do problema e encaminhamento aos serviços disponíveis para o acolhimento da vítima, bem como a realização de ações voltadas para a prevenção e promoção à violência doméstica por meio da capacitação da equipe de saúde. Considerações finais: Dessa forma, sugere-se que as instituições de saúde promovam capacitação dos enfermeiros para que eles tenham um melhor aperfeiçoamento durante o acolhimento às mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica. Além disso, é preciso que as instituições de ensino insiram na grande curricular uma disciplina específica sobre os tipos de violência contra a mulher e a abordagem da enfermagem frente a essas situações, a fim de promover o pensamento crítico e sensibilizar os futuros profissionais acerca da desigualdade de gênero, bem como na identificação precoce, acolhimento e condutas a serem tomadas diante dos casos de violência contra a mulher.
A FILOSOFIA DO AMOR: OS TEMAS DAS OBRAS DE BING XIN INSPIRADOS PELA BÍBLIA
Authors: Nina Lizia Gabriela de Pinho
Published: July 2023

Bing Xin (冰心) é uma escritora chinesa do século XX que começou a entrar oficialmente no mundo literário com a eclosão do Movimento de Quatro de Maio (五四运动). Em sua criação literária, nota-se a influência da cultura cristã, com o estudo e a imitação da narrativa da Bíblia lançando as bases para as primeiras técnicas artísticas de Bing Xin. Na Bíblia, há muitas alusões filosóficas e alguns substantivos próprios que através da propagação religiosa são usados para entrar no cotidiano das pessoas e, assim, se expressando nelas, Bing Xin acreditava que o conceito bíblico de “amar o próximo como a si mesmo” poderia se tornar a cura para a sociedade chinesa daquela época. Ela estava disposta a usar o espírito do amor fraternal contido na Bíblia, tornando o “amor” como núcleo de suas obras literárias, usando muitas palavras para louvar e adorar a Deus e lançar luz sobre as pessoas daquela época. Bing Xin desenvolveu sua própria visão do “amor” e estabeleceu sua “Filosofia do amor” (爱的哲学) escrevendo sobre três principais temas: amor materno, amor à natureza e o amor das crianças.

Generalized Hertz Vector in the Dissipative Electrodynamics
Authors: Gambár Katalin , Márkus Ferenc
Published: July 2023

In the electromagnetic theory, the Hertz vector reduces the number of potentials in the free fields. The further advantage of this potential is that it is much easier to solve particular radiation processes. It indicates that the related method is sometimes more effective than the scalar and vector potential-based relations. Finally, the measurable field variables, the electric and magnetic fields, can be deduced by direct calculation from the Hertz vector. However, right now, the introduction of the Hertz vector operates if the conductive current density j = 𝜎E is neglected. We suggest a generalization by the conductive currents, i.e., when the electromagnetic field dissipates irreversibly to Joule heat. The presented procedure enables us to introduce also the Lagrangian formulation of the discussed dissipated electromagnetic waves. It paves a new way involving damping physical fields in a thermodynamic frame.

Authors:   Special Education Research Institute, An Jae-Jun , Noh Jina
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This study purposed to examine the perceptions of early childhood teachers and early childhood special education teachers regarding the importance and feasibility of school-wide positive behavior support at the school level. Method: To achieve this, a survey was developed based on an analysis of previous studies on the perception of school-wide positive behavior support, and it was administered to early childhood teachers and early childhood special education teachers. Results: First, both early childhood teachers and early childhood special education teachers highly recognized the importance of school-wide positive behavior support in all items. However, early childhood teachers preschool teachers rated 'Organized and predictable daily routine' in the universal level, 'Implementing teacher training' and 'Group guidance for teaching social skills' in the targeted level, and 'Establishing and implementing positive behavior support plans based on functional assessment' in the individual level higher than early childhood special education teachers. Second, both early childhood teachers and early childhood special education teachers highly recognized the feasibility of implementing school-wide positive behavior support as above average in all items. However, early childhood teachers perceived a higher feasibility of implementing five items in the universal level and three items in the targeted level than early childhood special education teachers. In the individual level, there was no perceptual difference between the two groups of teachers. Third, both groups perceived the feasibility of the items much lower than their importance, and recognized factors such as time constraints, lack of collaboration, and insufficient administrative and financial support as obstacles to implementation. Conclusion: Based on the findings, recommendations for further discussions and directions for future research on the implementation of school-wide positive behavior support in early childhood education settings were suggested.

Caregivers provide different types of care, such as physical care, transfers, and follow-ups with doctors and rehabilitation professionals. All these types of care impact the caregivers’ quality of life (QOL). Due to a lack of collective evidence on the QOL of caregivers having children with disabilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we conducted this review to find the QOL of caregivers of children with disabilities. A thorough literature search was performed using an electronic database and a gray literature search to obtain relevant articles. These two distinct literature searches found a total of 233 studies. Out of these, 12 studies were on the QOL of caregivers with children with disabilities in Saudi Arabia. The methodological quality assessment of all 12 studies was done by using the quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. We established that caregivers of children with disabilities had a reduced QOL in the physical, psychological, and social relation domains. Factors such as gender, age, and low income impact the QOL among caregivers of children with disabilities.

Published: July 2023

The cultivation of Cannabis sativa has gained importance in recent years in Paraguay and other Latin American countries where legal regulations allow its cultivation for medicinal use, as fiber, and also as food. Since several companies apply the organic cultivation model to guarantee quality and certify their product, it is necessary to study biological control alternatives that guarantee sustainable agriculture. In this study, microorganisms present in the soil of Cannabis sativa cultivation and those that infected pests found on the plant were isolated and identified. The serial dilution method was used to isolate microorganisms from the soil and direct seeding on specific culture media to isolate them from the bodies of pest insects. The isolated genera from the soil were Rhizopus, Aspergillus, Absidia, Alternaria, Mucor, Penicillium and Fusarium; the isolated genera from pest insects were Cladosporium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, and Fusarium. This study is the first report on fungi in soils and pest insects in industrial hemp cultivation in Paraguay.

Authors: PARISUTHAM Joyson Silva , KRISHNAN PRABHAKARAN Jaya , SUKUMAR Binu
Published: July 2023

This study investigated the seismic performance of cementitious grout filled coupler and sleeve connections in precast wall panels under cyclic lateral loading. The effectiveness of these connections in enhancing the seismic performance of precast concrete walls was evaluated. In many countries, grouted coupler connections are the preferred option, whereas sleeve connections were more commonly utilized in India due to the belief that a greater portion of the dowel being grouted enhances structural stability. Tests were conducted on full scale precast wall panels to study the behaviour of connections by applying a displacement-controlled cyclic lateral loading and the results were discussed. The experimental study revealed that the cementitious grout filled coupler connection exhibited better seismic performance and was recommended for precast wall panel connections over the grouted sleeve connection. Compared to the grout filled sleeve connection, the specimen with an unbonded segment demonstrated an 8% rise in energy dissipation, while the specimen with a grouted coupler connection displayed a 55 % increase.

Authors: Coppeta Luca , Balbi Ottavia , Pietroiusti Antonio , Biondi Giorgia , Baldi Savino , Magrini Andrea
Published: July 2023

Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are considered at higher risk for hepatitis B virus infection compared to the general population, due to their potential contact with blood or body fluids and possible needle stick injuries. In turn, infected HCWs may be a risk for patients. Hepatitis B vaccination programs represent a strategic approach to control the infection. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the serological status of HCWs employed at the teaching hospital of Rome Tor Vergata and their risk of occupational injuries after the adoption of directive 2010/32/EU. Methods: Medical records of 539 HCWs were evaluated during their occupational medical examination at the Tor Vergata teaching hospital (PTV). All subjects were screened for specific viral markers: Hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs IgG), antibodies to hepatitis core antigen (anti-HBc IgG), and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Data regarding needlestick injuries were collected by the prevention service team during the same year. Results: In this sample population, we found five subjects (0.9%) positive to the HBsAg, and most of them (four) were born in foreign countries. Moreover, seven subjects (1.3% of our population) were HBsAg-positive and anti-HBc-positive. A protective anti-HBs titer was found in 462 out of 527 (85.7%) subjects. The risk of being serologically unprotected was higher in males and subjects aged 40 years or older. The nurses were more protected than other healthcare professionals considering the anti-hepatitis B surface antibody titer. In 2018, 16 needlestick injuries were reported among our population of HCWs, with a global risk of 2.9% per year. Conclusions: Although hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection rate among HCWs was similar to that of the general population, the risk of HBV transmission in HCWs was likely to be high due to suboptimal vaccination coverage.

Published: July 2023

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common fungal infection caused by Candida species in the female genital tract. Objectives: This study attempts to predict predisposition to VVC related to risk factors and clinical symptoms among vaginitis cases using the artificial neural network (ANN) model. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 250 women referred to gynecology clinics in Birjand, Iran. A questionnaire was used to record participants' demographic information. Swabs were used for wet mounts and culture. Candida species were identified by morphological and physiological methods. The performance of the optimal neural network model was assessed by the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy area under the ROC curve (AUC). Descriptive statistics were used for the statistical description of data, and chi-square test, t-test, and ANN analysis using SPSS application tools (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) version 22 software at 0.05 significant level. Results: The prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis was 41.0%, and Candida albicans was the most frequently identified species (55.9%). The descriptive statistics (chi-square test and t-test) revealed no significant difference between the frequencies of Candida infection with demographic factors and clinical presentations. However, factors such as abortion history, number of sexual intercourse, dyspareunia, education, natural vaginal delivery (NVD), and lower abdominal pain included in our ANN model had significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The result of the ANN model revealed that using demographic factors and clinical symptoms can predict VVC infection. Therefore, this model can identify the effect of the clinical presentations and symptoms of infection.

Published: July 2023

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is more than a happy tale—it is a text of moral self-reflection that challenges us to think about the nature of moral duty, human happiness and personal transformation. The story speaks to fundamental questions: How are morality and the good life related? How does a self-centered person open their heart to the welfare of others? What are the steps in moral change? The story’s characters function as mirrors by which we can examine our own moral dispositions. A Christmas Carol is an engaging way to discuss important and relevant moral topics with students. We first describe the format of our interdisciplinary course—we then discuss how we teach topics of personal ethics found in Dickens’ tale.
Towards Trustworthy Myopia Detection: Integration Methodology of Deep Learning Approach, XAI Visualization, and User Interface System
Authors: Esam Noori Worood , Albahri A. S.
Published: July 2023

Myopia, a prevalent vision disorder with potential complications if untreated, requires early and accurate detection for effective treatment. However, traditional diagnostic methods often lack trustworthiness and explainability, leading to biases and mistrust. This study presents a four-phase methodology to develop a robust myopia detection system. In the initial phase, the dataset containing training and testing images is located, preprocessed, and balanced. Subsequently, two models are deployed: a pre-trained VGG16 model renowned for image classification tasks, and a sequential CNN with convolution layers. Performance evaluation metrics such as accuracy, recall, F1-Score, sensitivity, and logloss are utilized to assess the models' effectiveness. The third phase integrates explainability, trustworthiness, and transparency through the application of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques. Specifically, Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) are employed to provide insights into the decision-making process of the deep learning model, offering explanations for the classification of images as myopic or normal. In the final phase, a user interface is implemented for the myopia detection and XAI model, bringing together the aforementioned phases. The outcomes of this study contribute to the advancement of objective and explainable diagnostic methods in the field of myopia detection. Notably, the VGG16 model achieves an impressive accuracy of 96%, highlighting its efficacy in diagnosing myopia. The LIME results provide valuable interpretations for myopia cases. The proposed methodology enhances transparency, interpretability, and trust in the myopia detection process.

Tingkat minat mahasiswa jurusan hukum ekonomi syari’ah dalam melaksanakan kewirausahaan di sekolah STAI syekh abdur rauf adalah banyak sekali mahasiwa yang jiwa kewirausahaanya belum tumbuh dan berkembang setelah mendapatkan mata kuliah yang berbau kewirausahaan di jurusan hukum ekonomi syari’ah, dan menyatakan mata kuliah yang berbau kewirausahaan belum efektif untuk meningkatkan jiwa kewirausahaan dikalangan mahasiswa. Dikarenakan proses pembelajaran mata kuliah yang berbau kewirausahaan di jurusan hukum ekonomi syari’ah yang diberikan selama beberapa semester dengan bobot beberapa SKS masih didominasi teori-teori saja namun prakteknya masih sedikit. Kendala berwirausaha bagi mahasiswa jurusan hukum ekonomi syari’ah dalam melaksanakan kewirausahaan di sekolah STAI syekh Abdur Rauf adalah kurangnya jiwa kewirausahaan mahasiswa, minimnya modal mahasiswa, dan minimnya pelatihan kewirausahaan.

Namun, kejadian di lapangan terdapat perbedaan yang bertentangan dengan teori. Hal ini terjadi beberapa desa di Kabupaten Aceh Singkil. Mereka membagikan zakat fitrah kepada seluruh masyarakat, tanpa memperhatikan bagian kelompok yang ditetapkan al-Qurʻan dan sunnah. Pembagianini sudah lama dipraktikkan masyarakat Aceh Singkil yang memeluk agama Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola pembagian zakat fitrah di Kabupaten Aceh Singkil mengandung tiga nilai filosofi, yaitu, sebagai tradisi yang sudah lama hidup di tengah masyarakat, untuk menjaga kemaslahatan, dan solidaritas tinggi. Sedangkan pandangan masyarakat terhadap pola pembagian zakat fitrah, masyarakat Aceh Singkil banyak mendukung, karena dengan pola pembagian tersebut mereka merasakan keadilan, dan upaya yang dilakukan oleh badan amil adalah mensosialisasikankepada masyarakat bagaimana pola pembagian zakat fitrah yang tepat dan benar. Diharapkan kepada kapada Baitul Mal untuk mengkaji kembali bagaimana pola pembagian zakat fitrah yang sesuai dengan tuntunan alQurʻan dan sunnah. Kata Kunci : Pola, Pe

The book features a joint initiative by interfaith activists and social workers under the Jesuit Among Muslims in Asia Network to embody the message of humanity and peace between Muslims and Christians, two of the largest religious communities in the world. This initiative is also an ongoing commitment of Catholics, especially in Asia Pacific, to develop brotherhood and understanding between religious communities, following the initial initiative in Nostra Aetate and the signing of the document Human Fraternity between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb in 2019. This book is a valuable reference source for Muslims who want to reflect on how Catholics under the Jesuit flag developed humanitarian da'wah in a contemporary contextDalam konteks kuatnya arus sekularisme, meningkatnya konflik geopolitik dan degradasi alam, serta tingginya ketimpangan sosial ekonomi, kebutuhan untuk memperbaharui komitment terhadapt kemanusiaan dan perdamaian antar sesame umat beragama dirasakan semakin penting. Buku ini menampilkan inisiatif bersama aktifis antar iman dan pekerja sosial yang bernaung dibawah Jaringan Jesuit Bersama Umat Islam di Asia (Jesuits Among Muslims in Asia Network) untuk mengejawantahkan pesan-pesan kemanusiaan dan perdamaian antara umat Islam dan umat Kristiani yang merupakan dua umat beragama terbesar di dunia. Inisiatif ini juga merupakan komitmen berkelanjutan umat Katholik, terutama di Asia Pasifik, untuk mengembangkan tali persaudaraan dan pemahaman antar umat beragama, setelah inisiatif awal dicetuskan dalam Nostra Aetate dan penandatanganan dokumen Persaudaraan Antar Umat Manusia (Human Fraternity) antara Paus Fransiskus dan Imam Besar al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb pada tahun 2019 lalu.
