USO RETÓRICO DA LINGUAGEM DOS DIREITOS E OS LIMITES DA CORRELAÇÃO LÓGICA ENTRE DIREITOS E DEVERES PARA A DEFINIÇÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS
Authors: Silva André Luiz Olivier da
Published: July 2023

O artigo aborda a linguagem dos direitos humanos a partir do fenômeno das exigências por direitos. Para analisar esse fenômeno, pretende-se abordar a definição dos direitos a partir da correlação lógico-normativa entre direitos e deveres. Será que a tese da correlatividade pode explicar a natureza de todos os direitos humanos? Se seguirmos a lógica da dogmática jurídica, a resposta será positiva – ao menos essa é a pretensão normativa dos programas lógicos de fundamentação dos direitos. Porém, se observarmos os usos linguísticos que as pessoas fazem dos “direitos humanos” no mundo contemporâneo, verificar-se-á casos em que esses direitos são reivindicados mesmo quando não há um dever correlato. A partir do método analítico-descritivo, pretende-se mostrar que a pragmática dos direitos humanos desafia os projetos de justificação lógica dos direitos e instiga a investigação a abordar os diversos usos que as pessoas fazem da expressão “direitos humanos” seja no contexto de especialistas (como juristas, diplomatas, legisladores e governantes), seja no contexto de manifestantes e ativistas que enunciam suas reivindicações no cenário internacional. Ao final, pretende-se concluir que esses direitos adquirem sentido retórico e são reivindicados “contra o mundo” a partir de uma perspectiva mais genericamente moral do que estritamente jurídica.
Modelling-based pedagogy as a theme across science disciplines–Effects on scientific reasoning and content understanding
Authors: Malone Kathy L. , Schuchardt Anita
Published: July 2023

Due to the increased use of scientific models and modelling in K-12 education, there is a need to uncover its effects on students over time. Prior research has shown that the use of scientific modelling in K-12 classes is associated with improved conceptual knowledge and problem-solving skills. However, few studies have explicitly tested the longitudinal benefits of using model-based instruction on students’ scientific reasoning skills (SRS) and content knowledge. This paper studies the effects of the use of modelling-based pedagogy in a longitudinal comparative case study on students’ SRS using hierarchical linear modeling. Our findings showed that initial exposure to modelling-based instruction increased scientific reasoning scores significantly. By the end of their first year of science instruction, the average high school freshman in our study achieved the scientific reasoning level of many undergraduate STEM majors. More importantly, students in the lowest quartile of scientific reasoning demonstrated increased scores over the three years of the modeling-based course sequence. In addition, reasoning scores in the modelling classes were a significant predictor of post-content knowledge in all subjects. Our results suggested that students should be exposed to model-based instruction early and consistently to achieve equity in science instruction.

It have been established in experiments with broilers that protein biomass usage in their feed 2 to 7% of feed mass for partial replacement of fishmeal or soy meal or feed yeast gives possibility to ensure poultry body weight comparable to control with high livability and good feed conversion without negative effect on broiler bone system quality. It have been proved that calcium and phosphorus deposit rates and total bone mineralization in experimental poultry have been comparable to control when soy meal partial replacing or feed yeasts full replacement. Phosphorus level has been decreased by 0.56 and 0.44% respectively when partial or full fishmeal replacing with protein biomass, but there were no significant differences with control in calcium and raw ash content.
Clinical manifestations of peripheral vegetative insufficiency in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (retrospective and prospective investigations)
Authors: Mykhailova E.A. , Mitelov D.A.
Published: July 2023

The variety of complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) in children and adolescents are often observed in clinical practice. Among them, damage to the central and peripheral nervous system prevails. The term «peripheral vegetative insufficiency» (PVI) refers to a complex of vegetative manifestations that occur in the peripheral (segmental) part of the VNS against the DM background.

Objective — to determine the clinical typology of PVN in children with type 1 DM during the period of the years 1980—1990 (retrospective investigation) and in the period of the years 2012—2022 (prospective study).

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the Department of Endocrinology of the SI «Institute of Child and Adolescent Health of the NAMS of Ukraine». Examinations involved 605 pediatric patients: 285 patients (126 children and 159 adolescents) in the retrospective study, and 320 subjects (186 children and 134 adolescents) in the group of prospective study. All patients underwent somatic, neurological, and clinical examinations.

Results and discussion. It haі been determined that in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, PVI clinical manifestations were present in all physiological body systems and often occur under the mask of various somatic diseases. The most typical PVI clinical syndromes in pediatric patients with DM included orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia at rest, hypohidrosis, gastroparesis, constipation, and urinary incontinence. The incidence of PVI syndromes in the groups of patients in the prospective study (years 2012-2022) was lower than in the retrospective study (years 1980—1990) owing to the use of the novel technologies for the DM treatment.

Conclusions. The labile, severe course of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children often triggers the development of autonomic disorders, which are predictors and manifestations of neurological disorders. As the overall duration of the disease increases and carbohydrate metabolism is not compensated properly, the number of functional organic neurological complications increases. Damage to immature brain structures affects their further development and forms the basis for the long-term neurological complications in older age.

Millennial Generation Intentions in The Islamic Capital Market
Authors: Rahmi Mira , Sholihah Dienni R , Nopiyanti Anita
Published: July 2023

Capital market growth is one indicator of a country's economic growth, especially for the growth of the Islamic Capital Market. Currently, the pandemic had a negative impact on the economy and the capital market, but on the contrary, this has actually attracted many new investors to enter the capital market. The millennial generation has great potential for capital market growth. The unique characteristics of the millennial generation such as understanding financial literacy, ease of access, and religiosity are used as research variables. As well as additional variables, namely lifestyle as a moderating variable and Islamic branding as an intervening variable related to the halal industry which will be used as a determining factor for millennial generation intentions in the Islamic Capital Market. The role of the millennial generation in the development of the financial industry, especially in the Islamic capital market, has great potential, given the large population of Indonesia and the majority of Muslims. The opportunity for the millennial generation to be able to invest in the Islamic capital market still needs to be investigated further. The research method uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The sampling technique used stratified random sampling, with the sample criteria being the millennial generation aged between 17-35 years, earning or having monthly money, and domiciled in the DKI Jakarta area. The analysis technique uses multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between research variables. By using primary data through questionnaires, 207 respondents were obtained. The results showed that the variables of financial literacy, ease of access, religiosity, and Islamic branding as intervening affected the millennial generation's investment intention, but lifestyle variables did not strengthen or weaken the financial literacy variable on investment intentions. The object of this research is limited to the millennial generation who live in DKI Jakarta, so further research is needed for a broader millennial generation object.

Ultrasonic degradation of GenX (HFPO-DA) - Performance comparison to PFOA and PFOS at high frequencies
Authors: Ilic Nebojsa , Andalib Afrina , Lippert Thomas , Knoop Oliver , Franke Marcus , Bräutigam Patrick , Drewes Jörg , Hübner Uwe
Published: July 2023

Sonolytic degradation kinetics of hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA or GenX) were studied for the first time at four high ultrasonic frequencies (375, 580, 860 and 1,140 kHz) and three power densities (200, 300 and 400 W/L), and compared to the degradation of previously studied perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The frequency of 580 kHz displayed the highest degradation of all three PFAS tested. Within each frequency, the degradation performance increased consistently with increasing power density. Degradation rates were highest for GenX over PFOA to PFOS (kGenX = 0.0501 min-1, kPFOA = 0.0444 min-1, kPFOS = 0.0153 min-1), which is in direct agreement with their reported thermal stability (PFOS > PFOA > GenX). No known by-product formation as expected from the literature on truncation mechanism was detected in the samples (i.e. shorter chain carboxylic acid PFAS). Fluorine mass balance experiments at 580 kHz and 400 W/L confirmed that GenX defluorinated fastest among the three tested PFAS and had lowest loss of fluorine in the mass balance. Degradation experiments with a mixture of all three PFAS displayed lower degradation rates than the individual experiments, where PFOA exhibited the largest reduction in degradation rate (by 31%), followed by GenX (by 19%), and finally by PFOS (by 17%). Overall, our study demonstrates that ultrasound can provide effective destruction of different PFAS (70-90% fluorine from mitigated PFAS was detected as inorganic fluoride) with a similar energy demand to alternative PFAS treatment methods reported in literature.
Leveraging Natural Language Processing Models to Automate Speech-Intelligibility Scoring
Authors: Herrmann Bjorn
Published: July 2023

Assessment of speech intelligibility in noise is critical for measuring the impact of age-related hearing loss. However, quantifying intelligibility often requires a human to manually process responses provided by a participant or patient to obtain a speech-intelligibility score – typically the proportion of correctly heard words. This manual process can be time-consuming and thus costly. The current study investigates whether state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) models from Google and OpenAI could be used to calculate speech-intelligibility scores as an alternative to human scoring. It was specifically tested whether NLP models capture common speech-in-noise perception phenomena in younger and older adults (N=144) listening to speech masked by modulated or unmodulated babble noise. The results show that NLP speech-intelligibility scores closely matched intelligibility scores from a human scorer (r ~0.95). The main difference is, on average, ~2% underestimation of NLP intelligibility scores relative to human intelligibility scores for moderate to high signal-to-noise ratios. This underestimation results from participants making minor errors related to misspellings, gender, or tense, to which NLP models are sensitive, but human scorers typically correct prior to scoring. Critically, NLP models capture the known age-related reduction in intelligibility and the age-related reduction in the benefit from a modulated relative to an unmodulated masker. OpenAI’s ADA2 appears to perform the best out of the tested NLP models, showing no difference in the speech-in-noise phenomena compared to human scoring. The current study suggests that modern NLP models can be used to score speech-intelligibility data.
Converging Intention and Diverging Intensity? Educational Differences in Developmental and Secondary Childcare Time in the U.S. from 2004 to 2019
Authors: Lee Sujung , Choi Seongsoo
Published: July 2023

Objective: This study examines changes in disparities in parental education and childcare from 2004 to 2019, focusing on developmental and secondary childcare times.Background: While prior research has mostly focused on developmental childcare, this study explores secondary childcare. Recent changes in labor market conditions, affecting parents’ time use, hint at an increasing gap in secondary childcare by parents’ socioeconomic status.Method: Using data from the 2004–2019 American Time Use Survey (N = 28,745), we estimate the linear trends of education disparities in developmental and secondary childcare times for parents of children under six.Results: We found a converging educational gap in time for developmental childcare but a diverging trend for secondary childcare, present only on weekdays. Changes in weekly work hours and full-time employment significantly account for the widening weekday secondary childcare gap.Conclusion: Highly educated parents devote less time to secondary childcare than they did 15 years ago compared to less educated parents. This growing disparity in secondary childcare could contribute to family inequalities due to the potential negative effects of extended secondary childcare time.
Perception of Students on Agriculture as an Occupation- A Reference to Pondicherry University Postgraduate Students
Authors: K Amaran , Krishnamoorthy Anbu
Published: July 2023

This research article investigates the perception of postgraduate students at Pondicherry University regarding agriculture as an occupation. The study examines the demographic characteristics of the participants and explores their perceptions of agriculture. The sample comprises 56.4% female and 43.6% male respondents aged 21 to 28. Most (93.6%) of the participants fall within the 21 to 25 age group. Regarding the family type, most respondents (75.6%) belong to nuclear families, while a minority (20.5%) reside in joint families. Regarding residence, 53.8% of the respondents live in urban areas, while slightly over one-third (46.2%) reside in rural areas. The academic backgrounds of the participants are diverse, with approximately one-third belonging to the social science stream (34.6%), management stream (33.3%), and life science stream (32.1%), respectively. The study reveals that 65.4% of the respondents have a medium level of perception towards agriculture, while 34.6% have a high level of perception towards agriculture as an occupation. The article further presents the results of statistical analyses, including an independent sample t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). These indicate no significant differences in perception of agriculture as an occupation across gender, nativity, course of study, and family type. These findings contribute to understanding postgraduate students’ perception of agriculture as a career option and provide insights for policymakers and educators in promoting agriculture as a viable and attractive occupation for future generations.

Authors: Ghimire Binod , Dhakal Shiva Chandra , Marahatta Santosh , Bastakoti Ram Chandra
Published: July 2023

Diverse production system and cultivation methods are followed for lentil crop in Nepal. This study was designed to analyze differentiated yield and cost benefit analysis of lentil by scale, method and purpose of production. Four major lentil producing districts in Nepal was purposively selected and followed multistage sampling. Face-to-face interview method was applied with randomly selected 473 respondents using pre-tested semi-structured interview schedule for primary data collection in 2022. Descriptive statistics, comparative yield analysis, benefit cost analysis methods were adopted and analyzed using MS-excel and STATA software. The average yield (kg/hac.) of lentil was 672.6 in the study area. Yield analysis resulted higher yield with the seed producer (739.1 kg/ha.) followed by improved seed user (706.3 kg/ha.), small scale farms (690.1 kg/ha.), commercial scale farms (658.0 kg./ha.), local seed user and grain producer (652.9 and 653.4 mt/ha.). Again, benefit cost ratio was higher among the seed producer (2.02) indicating lentil seed producing as a higher profitable enterprise followed by improved seed user (1.88), commercial farms (1.79), small scale farms (1.77) and grain producers (1.71). It can be concluded that lentil farming with a purpose of producing seed by the use of improved varietal seed in a commercial scale with good management practices is highly profitable.

Published: July 2023

The article aims to explore the effectiveness of positive reinforcement in EFL (English as a foreign language) classrooms with the situations of enhancing the learnability of EFL learners. For the concern, I applied positive reinforcement to one section of class 11 for a month, and to another section of the same class, there was no treatment after the treatment post-test was administered in the two groups. From the data, the group in which the treatment applied was found better motivation in learning; as a result, they can enhance learnability and develop a friendly situation in learning English. Therefore, positive reinforcement enhances the learnability of the learners, and they can develop the level of confidence, the horizon of knowledge, and cooperative learning strategies in the EFL situation.

Published: July 2023

This paper aims to present perception of teacher on using ICT ((information, communication and technology) in classroom in context of Kailali district. For the purpose of the survey, ten teachers teaching in secondary level were selected and questionnaire was used to collect data. The findings of the research show that even though majority of the teachers are equipped with electronic gadgets like laptop and desktop computers and have access to the reliable internet both in school and at home, they cannot use ICT in their teaching because of lack of sufficient knowledge about web-based and game-based teaching tools and they have not received training related to ICT use in the classroom teaching.

The Government of Nepal has made significant achievements in expanding social protection during the last two and half decades. Child grant is one of the entitlements provisioned by the government to enhance nutritional status and overall wellbeing of children which is universal in 25 districts of Nepal. This paper aims to explore how child grant can contribute to human capital development and its rationalization in scaling up throughout the nation. Furthermore, the paper suggests the possible fiscal spaces to leverage resources to expand universal child grant. Investments in early childhood development and nutrition can help break inter-generational cycles of poverty and promote equitable development by providing children with the resources they need to reach their full potential. This, in turn, can lead to increased economic productivity and social well-being. Also, the paper urge to increase the investment in children through universal child grant to serve the aging society in future.

Published: July 2023

Social security allowances is a major social protection strategy in Nepal which consists of senior citizen allowances, support to widows, single women, children under-five from Karnali region, Dali children under-five, disable persons, and people from endangered communities including Raute, and Chepang. This study aims to analyse the coverage of social security in Tarakeswhor Municipality of Kathmandu in terms of process, implementation, perception and utilisation of allowances. Findings show that 90 per cent of recipients are satisfied with the delivery of the services. Similarly, 84.5 percent of them wished to keep cash at home to fulfill their daily needs. Likewise, 91.8 per cent of them felt easy during processing. Among110 respondents, 27 of them were late for enrollment due to lack of communication. This suggests that, there is still need of awareness and knowledge dissemination in this municipality to increase the coverage. Even though the amount is small, it has helped most of the beneficiaries to manage their expenditure at home and few of them felt honored as the government took care of them.

Introduction: Ring enhancing lesions in CT of the brain can be caused by different pathological conditions. The common lesions being some granulomas, primary brain tumors, abscess etc. CT remains essential for the investigation of ring enhancing lesions of brain.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on a total of 60 patients undergoing brain CT scans and found to have ring enhancing lesion(s) on contrast administration.
 Results: The result of the study revealed that ring enhancing lesions was more common in man than women (34 out of 60 patients; 56.7%) The overall male to female ratio was 1.3:1. The age of the patients ranged from 7 to 77 years with peak incidence of lesion was found in >40 years of age comprising 28 patients (46.7%) followed by 21 to 30 age groups constituting 12 patients (20%). Single ring enhancing lesions were most common lesions comprising about 49 cases (81.67%). Neurocysticercosis (NCC) was the most common cause of ring enhancing lesions of brain comprising about 38 patients (63.3%) followed by glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) comprising about 9 patients (15%).
Conclusion: CT plays an important role in the diagnosis of ring enhancing lesion and their causes. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) was the most common cause of ring enhancing lesions followed by glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

Published: July 2023

Hyponatraemia is a common manifestation of a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in neurological patients admitted to the intensive care unit. We present a case of 62-years old male who presented with loss of consciousness, seizure, and altered mental status and was diagnosed to have right-sided intracranial haemorrhage. The patient underwent evacuation of hematoma and developed persistent hyponatremia secondary to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. Patient was treated with 3%sodium chloride, loop diuretics, and fluid restriction. There was no improvement in hyponatremia after initial correction and we started on 7.5 milligrams of Tolvaptan. The patient responded within 4 days of starting Tolvaptan. There was no hyponatraemic episode during the follow-up. From this, we want to emphasize that refractory hyponatremia secondary to intracranial haemorrhage should be treated with Tolvaptan.

Introduction: Studies have found that iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) impairs thyroid hormone metabolism. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in adults in the general population ranges from 1 to 10 percent, and is even higher in selected groups. Thus, in this study we would like to see thyroid function status in people with IDA.
Materials and Methods: It was Laboratory based cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Biochemistry of a tertiary care hospital of KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal. Secondary data of 162 patients available in laboratory database of 3 years’ duration from August 2018 to August 2021 were taken. All Patients diagnosed with IDA whose thyroid profile was also done were included in the study. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel. Statistical analysis was performed using version 29 of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc, Chicago IL, USA).
Results: Among 162 IDA patients, 86.4% (n=140) were females and 13.62% (n=22) were males. Age ranged widely from 19 to 88 years and median age was 38 years. Out of 162 patients most of the patients 68.5% were euthyroid, 8.7% had euthyroid hypothyroxinemia, 7.4% had primary hypothyroidism,3.7% had subclinical hypothyroidism, 3.1% had secondary hypothyroidism, 1.2% had primary hyperthyroidism, 1.2% had T3 toxicosis, 0.6% had euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia. Based on multiple independent KW test, relationship between category of thyroid disorders and iron profile as well as thyroid disorder and Hb level were found not to be statistically significant. No category of thyroid dysfunction was associated with value of haemoglobin level or severity of anaemia.   Irrespective of category of thyroid profile including euthyroid, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid, no category is particularly associated with IDA.
Conclusion: In patients with IDA, there is no significant association between Hb level or severity of iron deficiency irrespective of patient being euthyroid, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid.
