CONSEQUENCES OF BREXIT FOR THE POSITION OF THE VISEGRAD GROUP IN THE EUROPEAN UNION - A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Chojan Adrian
Published: January 2024

The aim of the article is to show selected consequences of Great Britain's departure from the European Union for the Visegrad Group countries. The research results lead to the conclusion that the potential of the Visegrad Group countries does not enable them to replace or even come close to the place and role played by Great Britain in the EU. The Visegrad countries do not have the appropriate political and economic potential to be a counterweight to the policies of the largest member states.

Equine endometrosis is one of the major causes of equine infertility, in the course of which periglandular fibrosis signs occur in the endometrium. As an oviduct is a key place of early embryo development, we hypothesized that loss of contact between mucosal cells and perturbation in hormonal action may coexist in the uterus and oviducts. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the expression of the intermediate filaments (vimentin and desmin) as well as the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor A (PRA) in the stroma and epithelia of endometrium and oviduct in healthy mares and these with endometrosis. Out of 56 culled-in slaughterhouse mare endometrium samples were annotated in two groups (i) healthy endometrium (n=26) and endometrium with signs of moderate and severe endometrosis (n=20). The expression of vimentin, desmin, ERα, and PRA was investigated immunohistochemically and compared between the above groups as well as between the phase of the estrous cycle. The expression of both vimentin and desmin was higher in the endometrial stroma of endometrosis group compared to healthy endometrium. The expression of ERα was higher in the healthy endometrial stroma and luminal epithelium during the follicular phase than luteal, however, no differences were noted in endometrium of mares with endometrosis. Moreover, PRA expression was significantly higher in the stoma oviduct during the follicular phase than luteal. It seems possible that mucosal cells through their altered interactions may support the occurrence of moderate and severe endometrosis. In addition, the oviduct appears to be less sensitive to hormonal changes than the uterus. The changed expression of intermediate filaments and steroid hormones may be some of the leading factors which can contribute to the oviduct functional status in endometrosis.

A mucocele do apêndice é um achado raro durante cesariana e pode se assemelhar à apendicite aguda. Esse estudo descreve um caso de mucocele do apêndice identificado durante uma cesariana, posteriormente diagnosticado como neoplasia. A paciente, uma mulher de 36 anos, foi submetida a uma cesariana devido a pós-datismo e cesáreas prévias em um hospital secundário do Distrito Federal. Durante o procedimento, uma formação cística alongada foi observada, sendo feita a exérese. A análise histopatológica confirmou o diagnóstico de neoplasia mucinosa de baixo grau do apêndice cecal. Geralmente, neoplasias do apêndice se apresentam como apendicite aguda ou são achados acidentais durante outros procedimentos cirúrgicos, tais como, a apendicectomia ou hemicolectomia direita, dependendo do caso. Esse artigo avalia a patogênese e diferentes estratégias de tratamento.

Então, esmiúça de forma mais detida a proteção de dados pessoais e o caminho que levou à positivação desde corolário no sistema constitucional brasileiro. Em seguida, apresenta dados de pesquisa suficientes e importantes para estabelecer um panorama de como os estabelecimentos de saúde tratam os dados pessoais de seus usuários, explicitando possíveis deficiências e potenciais vulnerabilidades, com ênfase nos direitos que podem se tornar violados através de falhas nos sistemas TIC das referidas entidades, para, em conclusão, identificar pontos sensíveis referente ao uso dos dados de saúde pelos estabelecimentos brasileiros.
Possibilities of human emancipation: Teacher training courses in the department of human sciences at UFF
Authors: Lima Cecilia Neves
Published: January 2024

This article aims to reflect on the original curricula of the pedagogy and field education courses of the Department of Human Sciences of the Fluminense Federal University, regarding the possibilities of social transformation and human emancipation that training can provide. Based on categories such as Critical multiculturalism (Mc Laren, 2000) and human formation (Freire, 2005), we seek to understand initial training in teacher training courses (pedagogy and rural education) as an instrument that contributes to the denaturalization of social representations linked to whiteness and the hegemony of scientific knowledge and as an instrument for the transformation of social reality.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders marked by hyperglycemia, and is classified into several subtypes. It is currently a major challenge for the world's health systems, with a progressive increase in impact due to urbanization and industrialization, as a result of unhealthy lifestyle habits. This metabolic disorder is among the five main mortality risks in the world, and can trigger acute or chronic complications in the cardiovascular, renal and neurological system, usually with targeted changes in organs, specifically, heart, kidneys, brain and blood vessels in general. This study aims to analyze the mortality from Diabetes Mellitus in the Brazilian Northeast Region between the years 2014 to 2018, through an epidemiological study of time series, with secondary data DATASUS- Ministry of Health, with research of the variables: sex, race, education, age group, marital status, place of occurrence, Northeast, ICD-10 category, diabetes. The data will be expressed in absolute numbers, percentages and descriptive statistics. 101,636 cases were found, 56% of which were female and the highest number, respectively, in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco. Most deaths are concentrated in the category of non-conventional diabetes mellitus, followed by the non-insulin-dependent and insulin-dependent category. As for education, 35% of deaths are in the category of no schooling and 23% with 1 to 3 years of study. Regarding the age group, most deaths are observed from the age of 80, with an increase in the number as the age group increases. There is a prevalence of 58% of deaths in the brown race, followed by white and black race, respectively. Most deaths occurred in married people, with 39% of cases, followed by widowers, 29%, and singles 24%. The most registered place of occurrence was in the hospital, with 63% of deaths and 31% in another health establishment. The epidemiological profile outlined points to the need for articulation of regionalized and peculiar strategies, with health promotion and education, aiming at better management of DM and reduction of mortality rates, especially those of early age groups.
Intersubjective implications of language in early childhood education
Authors: Pegueros Joaquín
Published: January 2024

A study from observation finds two elements as precepts in the practice of initiation to teaching in undergraduate students of primary education: 1.- the precept that thought is produced from the action that imprints the sensory experience; and product of that operation is learned by way of copy, what things are as the senses capture it universally. Another precept revolves around the use of indiscriminate language, verbiage more typical of an instructor than of an educator. The novice teacher conducts himself with conceptual instructions as an exacerbated instrumental use, in a linear way and without considering a certain degree of development of abstract thinking that the 6 to 8 year old infant does not achieve yet. It is offered to understand from the teaching addressee and with multidisciplinary contribution (psychology, neuroscience and pedagogy) that the infant by age that lives, has full sense of pleasure-pleasure as energy that touches the emotional field in the intersubjective relationship. In teaching-learning, pleasure-pleasure contains the desire that is conjugated in two directions (that of the infant and that of the teacher). Emotive energy, cathexis, transits the logical and the emotional, operates selectively discarding uninteresting information by inhibition of the synaptic pathways which, in schooling, is presented as a form of predisposition or defense mechanisms. Hypothetically, each enunciation and its intrinsic form issued by the teacher, triggers in the child a way and degree of anxiety, stress, anguish, underlying what is described as learning problems

‘Kifo’ cha Uhafidhina wa Maulidi: Athari za Utandawazi na Uchipukaji wa Ukanivali katika Sherehe ya Kidini Visiwani Lamu, Kenya
Authors:   Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi, Olali Tom
Published: January 2024

Sherehe za Maulidi ni maarufu katika kalenda ya Waswahili visiwani Lamu. Wageni kutoka pembe zote za dunia wamekuwa wakijumuika na wenyeji wakati wa sherehe hizi za kidini. Pale ambapo Al-Habib Swaleh Jamal Layl ‘alipoanzisha’ sherehe hizi, ngoma kuu iliyochezwa ilikuwa uta. Hii ni ngoma ya wagema na watu wa tabaka la chini. Baadaye, kukaingizwa ngoma mbalimbali kama vile kirumbizi, hanzua, mdurenge, chama, Goma na Umm-al-Qura (Kasida ya Hamziyyah). Wakati huu wote, sherehe za Maulidi zilikuwa za kidini, na lengo kubwa lilikuwa kutukuza ‘mazazi’ ya Mtume Muhammad. Sherehe hizi za Maulidi zimekuwa kama ‘Haji toto’ kwa baadhi ya wanaoshiriki, hasa wale ambao hawangeweza kutimiza nguzo mojawapo ya Kiislamu ambayo ni kusafiri kwenda Makka ili kuhiji. Hata hivyo, katika vipindi hivi vya utandawazi, ambapo dunia imekuwa finyu na kuwa kama kijiji kimoja, visiwa vya Lamu vimejikuta katika njia panda iliyosababishwa na utandawazi huu. Sherehe za Maulidi ambazo awali zilikuwa za kidini, zimepitia mabadiliko makubwa kutokana na sababu mbalimbali za kiutandawazi. Limekuwa jambo gumu kuchora mpaka kati ya sherehe za kidini za kitamaduni za watu wa Lamu na sherehe za kikanivali. Makala haya yanalenga kutathmini mabadiliko katika sherehe hizi kwa muktadha wa utandawazi. Je, ni kwa namna gani mitandao ya kijamii ilivyochangia kutokea kwa mabadiliko haya?
Utabirifu wa Makosa ya Utenganishaji na Uunganishaji wa Maneno katika Kiswahili

Published: January 2024

Uandishi ni mchakato unaohitaji umakini ili kinachoandikwa kieleweke kwa msomaji kwa namna iliyokusudiwa na mwandishi. Ikiwa kueleweka kutazingatiwa, basi, kutakuwa na mawasiliano madhubuti. Hata hivyo, matini mbalimbali zimekuwa na makosa mengi kiasi cha kukwamisha mawasiliano baina ya mwandishi na msomaji wake. Lengo la makala haya ni kuchunguza utabirifu wa makosa katika uandishi kwa kumakinikia makosa ya utenganishaji na uunganishaji wa maneno. Nadharia ya Uchanganuzi Makosa ya Corder (1967) imetumika kuchambua na kujadili data za utafiti kwa sababu inahusika na makosa yanayohusiana na lugha na isimu. Data zimekusanywa kwa kutumia mbinu ya uchambuzi wa matini na usaili. Matokeo ya utafiti yanaonesha kwamba makosa ya kutenganisha na kuunganisha maneno yanatabirika kwa sababu yana uelekeo mmoja. Makosa ya kuunganisha maneno yamegawanyika katika makundi makubwa manne, yaani maneno yenye urejeshi, maneno yenye kiambishi cha umahali na wakati, maneno yanayotokana na uradidi, na maneno ambatani. Makosa ya kuunganisha maneno yamegawanyika katika makundi mawili ambayo ni mwambatano wa vitenzi shirikishi vya “kuwa na” na nomino, na viunganishi tegemezi vinavyoanza na “kwa”. Kwa ujumla, makosa haya yanatokana na uhamishaji wa kanuni moja katika uandishi wa maneno fulani yenye vipashio, hususani viambishi vinavyofanana. Kufuatia matokeo haya, makala haya yanapendekeza waandishi kuzingatia aina na sifa mahususi za maneno na si kujumuisha kanuni zinazotumika kuandika baadhi ya maneno.

Makala haya yanalenga kudadisi sauti na uhusika wake kwenye uwasilishaji wa ujumbe katika tamthilia ya Kimya Kimya Kimya ya Said A. Mohamed (2011). Sauti kama mojawapo ya vipengele vya utendaji imetumiwa katika kazi tofautitofauti za tamthilia kwa sababu mbalimbali kutegemea mahitaji ya mtunzi wa kazi ya sanaa. Sauti inaweza kutekeleza jukumu kubwa inaposhirikishwa vilivyo katika tamthilia. Hata hivyo, watunzi wengi wanatumia sauti kwa ajili ya kushereheshea jambo fulani, kusisitizia ujumbe na kutoa maoni kuhusu wazo kuu linalolengwa hadhira. Wakati mwingine sauti huwa inatumika kama kicheko au kuweka utangulizi na kuhitimishia tamthilia. Kwa kuzingatia matumizi hayo, ni bayana kuwa matumizi ya sauti katika tamthilia nyingi bado hayajapewa uzito unaostahili. Kutokana na hali hiyo makala haya yanachunguza namna sauti ilivyotumika kama mhusika na uwasilishaji ujumbe kwa kurejelea tamthilia ya Kimya Kimya Kimya. Hivyo, mbinu iliyotumika kukusanya data za utafiti huu ni usomaji wa kina wa tamthiliya tajwa. Hii ni tamthilia ya kipekee katika matumizi ya sauti, ambapo mwandishi Said A. Mohamed amewajenga baadhi ya wahusika wake kama wahusika sauti. Amezifanya sauti sio tu kuongea bali pia kushiriki kikamilifu katika majibizano na uigizaji na wahusika wengine. Tumezingatia jinsi sauti ilivyotumika kujenga na kukuza wahusika na uhusika katika tamthilia ya Kimya Kimya Kimya kwa kujikita katika ushiriki wa mhusika binafsi, uhusika wa makundi na njia zinazotumiwa na wahusika sauti kuwasilisha ujumbe uliokusudiwa na mwandishi. Hatimaye, tumetathmini mchango wa sauti hizi katika kufanikisha utendaji na uwasilishaji maudhui kwa hadhira lengwa.

Makala haya yamefanya tathmini ya nyimbo za muziki wa kizazi kipya wa karne ya 21 nchini Tanzania. Makala yamechunguza tija na madhara ya muziki huu kwa wasanii na hadhira. Vigezo vya kibiashara na kidhamira viliteuliwa kushughulikia jambo hili. Kupitia tathmini, makala yamebaini kuwa katika karne ya 21 muziki wa kizazi kipya umeweza kufanikiwa kujenga mahusiano ya kifani na wasanii wa nje ya Tanzania. Pia, imebaini kuwa muziki huu unasisitiza uwepo wa mapenzi ya kweli katika jamii, unafariji, na kutia moyo kwa waliokata tamaa. Tija nyingine za muziki wa kizazi kipya zilizobainishwa ni uongezaji wa fursa za kiajira, utoaji wa elimu, na uburudishaji. Isitoshe, makala yamebaini madhara ya muziki huu yanayotokana na utumiaji wa lugha ya ufyosi, uhamasishaji wa vitendo vya ngono, na uhamasishaji wa kutumiwa mavazi yasiyofaa kwa hadhira. Vilevile, kufifisha nafasi ya nyimbo zenye kufuata maadili ya Kitanzania kusikilizwa na hadhira nalo limebainika kuwa ni suala linaloletwa na madhara ya muziki huu. Mwisho, imependekezwa kuwa ni vema kwa nyimbo za muziki wa kizazi kipya wa karne ya 21 kuweka msisitizo zaidi katika masuala yanayoweza kujenga jamii mpya ya Kitanzania kwa namna bora.

Authors: Rojas Llanos Jhoselin Tatiana , Bazán Hernández Joselito , Rodriguez Vasquez Mario Pedro , Flores Quispe Alberto Cristobal , Del Carpio Delgado Fabrizio
Published: January 2024

Sugarcane bagasse ash (CBCA) is a byproduct of the sugar industry that is considered as a pozzolanic material due to its high content of silica and aluminum. The study evaluates the effect of CBCA on the mechanical properties of permeable concrete. Tests were conducted on the concrete's compressive strength using 2 %, 4 %, and 6 % percentages of CBCA. The results showed that adding 2 % CBCA achieved a compressive strength of 234,61 Kg/cm2, higher than the standard sample which achieved 218,37 Kg/cm2. Adding 4 % and 6 % CBCA resulted in compressive strengths of 214,88 Kg/cm2 and 206,91 Kg/cm2, respectively. It was determined that the higher the incorporation of CBCA, the lower the compressive strength of the concrete, likely due to the low percentage of Sodium (Na) in the chemical composition of CBCA, which starts to affect the mechanical properties of the permeable concrete from day 21 of curing. Finally, it is demonstrated that CBCA is a promising additive, but further studies are suggested to evaluate its long-term effects and economic viability in large-scale concrete production.

A Review on Antibiotic Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens
Authors: Mandapati Kiran Kumar , Chinnaiyan Uma , Sivaprakasam Sowndarya , Paramasivam Sivagurunathan
Published: January 2024

Human health has been greatly impacted by the use of antibiotics, which have become essential in modern medicine. The treatment of bacterial infections with antibiotics decreased childhood mortality and raised life expectancy. Global public health is seriously threatened by antibiotic resistance. The multi-drug resistance (MDR) pandemic has spread quickly throughout many nations, with some instances going untreated. This has led to greater mortality rates, longer hospital stays, increased medical expenditures, and more. The primary culprits behind nosocomial infections are thought to be a variety of multidrug-resistant (MDR) such as A. baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacteria that produces extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), and carbapenem-resistant CRE. The most prevalent bacterial pathogens have been identified as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), according to recent reports.

In secondary and undergraduate classroom settings, there are significant challenges to exposing students to concepts related to Earth sciences and the environment. These challenges are exacerbated when conveying lessons about geographic areas with limited access, such as the ocean and coastlines. It is now more important than ever for environmental education to improve and adapt to our changing world. Educators may have the opportunity to bring these subjects to life by using media content such as podcasts to introduce students to new places and the scientists, managers, and educators who work in those spaces. Although education and public information sharing are part of the mission of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), there are few pathways for bringing reserves and the research, monitoring, and conservation associated with them into schools that are distant from NERRS sites. To address this educational gap, an instructor survey was conducted, and 43 responses were analyzed to identify best practices for secondary school and higher education lesson formats and assessment strategies. Based on this feedback, an introductory podcast series called “NERR or Far: The Reserves Are Where You Are” was created. This educational series is designed to increase access to regional conservation information and foster stewardship of our coastal resources.

INDOT Research Program Benefit Cost Analysis—Return on Investment for Projects Completed in FY 2022
Authors: McCullough Bob
Published: January 2024

To demonstrate the value of research and its implementation, the Governor’s Office initially requested an annual financial analysis of the INDOT Research Program to determine the return on the research investment (ROI). The INDOT Research & Development (R&D) has continued to publish an annual Return on Investment report. The current financial analysis is for research projects that completed in FY 2022. Analyses on previous year’s projects is necessary primarily due to the time it takes some project outcomes to be implemented and verifiable data generated, extending into the following year. Therefore, the FY 2023 analysis is completed research projects in calendar 2022. The ROI analysis will supplement the annual IMPACT report by adding a more rigorous quantitative benefit cost analysis (BCA) to the Research Program. Previous financial analyses used the approach of calculating net present values of cash flows to determine a benefit cost ratio and this report uses the same approach. Additionally, an overall program rate of return (ROI) is reported and will be accumulated over time, a seven-year period.

Human beings have an innate tendency to feel attachment with plants, animals and other natural things which are necessary for the sustainability of life on earth. Human beings show their love for life by Nature Contact through different nature based activities like gardening/horticulture, Animal/bird care, visiting nature resorts or by General Nature Contact. In the realm of Eco-psychology current research focused on the development of an indigenous scale, which could be used to explore the degree of Nature Contact prevailing among the adults of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In order to fulfill this purpose, a data of N=200 was obtained from adults, living close to nature ranging in age from 18 to 65years. Exploratory factor analysis of the data, showed presence of four factors namely Gardening (GAR), Contact with Friendly Animals and Birds (CFAB), Trip to Nature’s Resort (TNR) and General Nature Contact (GNC) in the Nature Contact Scale (NCS). A data of N=200 was again obtained from another sample fulfilling the same criteria, for confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed the presence of already explored and proposed factors in the scale. Composite reliability and construct validity of the scale were also quite satisfactory, as determined through AMOS, Validity Plugins. These results proved that Nature Contact scale was a valid and reliable instrument to measure degree of Nature Contact prevailing among the adults of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The Pentecost as a Resource for Democratic Politics
Authors: Nickel Mary ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

According to Kristen Deede Johnson, Augustinian theology provides resources for overcoming debates about the consolidation or protection of difference in plural society. Johnson’s Augustine invites us to unite with others in loving and humble interactions with difference. I seek to further concretize the kind of communication that Johnson’s theology entails, putting it in conversation with Iris Marion Young’s theory of “communicative democracy.” Drawing on Willie James Jennings’s interpretive work on Pentecost in his magisterial commentary on Acts, I trace in the event of Pentecost a paradigm for communication between divergent communities that respects difference and underscores possibilities for union. The community born at Pentecost is comprised of divergent constituencies, and yet is nevertheless integrated by communicative practices. The paper invites reflection on how divinely granted visions might be translated into conversations that facilitate what Jennings calls “joining.”
