A Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) representa um dos pilares mais importantes da educação, e como um direito assegurado pela Constituição Federal e legislação própria, é de extrema importância que a modalidade cumpra com os seus deveres e assuma o compromisso educacional para com a sociedade. Contudo, desde o seu surgimento, a EJA enfrenta desafios que comprometem a sua missão, sendo a evasão escolar deste grupo, um dos maiores percalços enfrentados. Devido a esta realidade, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo discutir os motivos que podem levar a evasão dos educandos e medidas que podem ser adotadas para combatê-la, para isso, são observadas iniciativas já adotadas por outros países e o que diz a comunidade internacional sobre tal. Visando trazer mais coerência e embasamento para as ideias apresentadas, foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma escola de EJA da cidade   de Feira de Santana, realizando uma análise diagnóstica para melhor alinhar teoria e prática no que tange a essa matéria. O estudo de caso se deu por meio de um questionário aos alunos da EJA e entrevista com os professores da modalidade, e os resultados obtidos demonstram como uma reforma na Educação de Jovens e Adultos não somente é demandada como configura uma necessidade social que só tem a trazer benefícios para todos.
Anthropogenic emission controls reduce summertime ozone-temperature sensitivity in the United States
Authors: Li Shuai , Lu Xiao , Wang Haolin
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The ozone-temperature sensitivity is widely used to predict the impact of future climate warming on ozone. However, trends in ozone-temperature sensitivity and possible drivers remained unclear. Here, we show that the observed summertime surface ozone-temperature sensitivity, defined as the slope of the best-fit line of daily anomaly in ozone versus maximum temperature (mΔO3-ΔTmax), has decreased by 50 % during 1990–2021 in the continental United States (CONUS), with a mean decreasing rate of −0.57 ppbv/K/decade (p < 0.01) across 608 monitoring sites. We conduct high-resolution GEOS-Chem simulations in 1995–2017 to interpret the mΔO3-ΔTmax trends and underlying mechanisms in the CONUS. The simulations identify the dominant role of anthropogenic nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission reduction in the observed mΔO3-ΔTmax decrease. We find that approximately 76 % of the simulated decline in mΔO3-ΔTmax can be attributed to the temperature-indirect effects arising from the shared collinearity of other meteorological effects (such as humidity, ventilation, and transport) on ozone. The remaining portion (24 %) is mostly due to the temperature-direct effects, in particular four explicit temperature-dependent processes, including the biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emissions, soil NOx emissions, dry deposition, and the thermal decomposition of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). With reduced anthropogenic NOx emissions, the expected ozone enhancement from temperature-driven BVOCs emissions, dry deposition, and PAN decomposition decreases, contributing to the decline in mΔO3-ΔTmax. However, soil NOx emissions increase mΔO3-ΔTmax with anthropogenic NOx emission reduction, indicating an increasing role of soil NOx emissions in shaping the ozone-temperature sensitivity. As indicated by the decreased mΔO3-ΔTmax, model simulations estimate that reduced anthropogenic NOx emissions from 1995 to 2017 have lowered ozone enhancement from low to high temperatures by 6.8 ppbv averaged over the CONUS, significantly reducing the risk of extreme ozone pollution events under high temperatures. Our study illustrates the dependency of ozone-temperature sensitivity on anthropogenic emission levels that should be considered in the future ozone mitigation in a warmer climate.
A new 3D full-Stokes calving algorithm within Elmer/Ice (v9.0)
Authors: Wheel Iain , Benn Douglas I. , Crawford Anna J. , Todd Joe , Zwinger Thomas
Published: July 2024

Abstract. A new calving algorithm is developed in the glacier model Elmer/Ice that allows unrestricted calving and terminus advance in 3D. The algorithm uses the meshing software Mmg to implement anisotropic remeshing and allow mesh adaptation at each time step. The development of the algorithm, along with the implementation of the crevasse depth law, produces a new full-Stokes calving model capable of simulating calving and terminus advance across an array of complex geometries. Using a synthetic tidewater glacier geometry, the model is tested to highlight the numerical model parameters that can alter calving when using the crevasse depth law. For a system with no clear attractor at a pinning point, the model time step and mesh resolution are shown to alter the simulated calving. In particular, the vertical mesh resolution has a large impact, increasing calving, as the frontal bending stresses are better resolved. However, when the system has a strong attractor, provided by basal pinning points, numerical model parameters have a limited effect on the terminus evolution. Conversely, transient systems with no clear attractors are highly influenced by the choice of numerical model parameters. The new algorithm is capable of implementing unlimited terminus advance and retreat, as well as unrestricted calving geometries, applying any vertically varying melt distribution to the front for use in conjunction with any calving law or potentially advecting variables downstream. In overcoming previous technical hurdles, the algorithm opens up the opportunity to improve both our understanding of the physical processes and our ability to predict calving.
Blindness Disparities Between Racial/Ethnic Groups in the State of Texas
Authors: Garcia Angelica , Anderson Kent , Funkhouser Megan
Published: July 2024

Background: There are disparities in health outcomes between races. Blindness is associated with decreased quality of life and negative health outcomes. There is little published data investigating the difference in the prevalence of blindness between races/ethnicities nationally and in Texas.
Methods: This retrospective observational study investigates the differences in crude prevalence of blindness between different race/ethnicities in Texas. Data was gathered from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS) using the most recently available Compositive Estimate data from the state of Texas. The variables compared were age groups and race/ethnicity categories of Black, non-Hispanic, Hispanic, any race and White, non-Hispanic, referred to as “Black,” “Hispanic,” and “White” respectively. The logs of the relative ratios and Z scores were used to compare each age group.
Results: The Black group consistently had the highest crude prevalence of blindness across age groups; The White group had the lowest prevalence. The Hispanic group consistently had prevalence rates that were between the Black and White groups. No differences were found to be statistically significant.
Conclusion: This data shows that, despite ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts, ongoing inequalities exist in healthcare outcomes. In the state of Texas, this is made apparent by the difference in blindness prevalence between Black, Hispanic, and White populations. These data can be used to bring about change that needs to be addressed at the state and institutional level.

Published: July 2024

Gaining hands on clinical experience in the US as a medical student is an important prerequisite for securing a residency spot in the US. These clinical electives in surgery enable the medical student to witness the process of providing healthcare to patients from the time of the first clinic visit to the post operative recovery phase of the patient after surgery. This is especially crucial for international medical students who are used to a different type of medical system back in their home country. Getting an opportunity to rotate in the department of Colorectal surgery at the Cleveland Clinic is an opportunity of a lifetime. This is my experience at the Cleveland Clinic as an acting intern.
Medical Students’ Study Habits Through a Sociocultural Lens: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Rafiq Hamzah Shahid , Blair Erik
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the literature on medical students' study habits and the surrounding sociocultural factors. A systematic literature review was undertaken, aiming to establish what is known, identify gaps in the literature and suggest what further research needs to be done. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines and identified 13 papers that were within the inclusion criteria. These papers were analyzed and discussed through a sociocultural lens, dividing the results into four sociocultural groupings: Personal, Behavioral, Environmental and Cognitive. The findings suggest that while sociocultural factors influence medical students' study habits, individual behaviors and attitudes predominantly guide their study decisions. The findings also suggest that there is little research into the intersection of these factors. It is recommended that the factors drawn from this systematic review be used to formulate more direct research into study habits with a magnified approach to help provide medical institutions, policymakers, and students with information to better inform their decisions and produce efficient, healthy study habits.
Conducting Research as a Medical Student: A Need for Change
Authors: Rodrigues Gomes José
Published: July 2024

This article is a short opinion piece addressing the personal and professional importance of performing research, while also highlighting some of the difficulties we might face while doing so. With this said, a historical perspective on research conducted by medical students is given, which exemplifies the significance of this component in students' lives and future careers. Alongside this, the statistics also exemplify the student's desire to do more research and how universities have failed to meet students’ expectations. Finally, some examples of small but immediate measures are offered that can help reform medical curricula through new mentorship regimes, better communication, more financial support, and better overall opportunities that will be key in motivating more students to conduct research.
The Factors Causing Stress in Medical Students and their Impact on Academic Outcomes: A Narrative Qualitative Systematic Review
Authors: Jeyapalan Thensiniya , Blair Erik
Published: July 2024

Background: This study investigated the causes of stress in medical students and the impact of stress on their academic outcomes. Much is known about the impact of stress on medical students but there is a gap in knowledge regarding the collated overview of literature in this area. This study sought to pull together disparate research to gain a clearer overview of the core drivers of stress.
Methods: Taking a meta-level approach, a narrative qualitative systematic review of previous systematic reviews was undertaken, following the PRISMA guidelines. This systematic review covered literature published from 2009-2023 where the focus was stress in students studying at medical schools in the United Kingdom. Findings were then assessed for commonly emerging themes.
Results: From an initial tranche of 3394 articles, a final set of eight systematic reviews was identified. The eight reviews drew on over 309 separate research projects and involved over 500,000 participants. A review of the key findings from each of the eight studies identified five themes: academic pressure, the impact of the institution, students’ personality traits, social relationships, and financial stress. The analysis provided clear evidence that stress amongst medical students results in negative academic outcomes.
Conclusion: The findings suggest a need to reduce stress to help medical students prevent a decline in their academic outcomes and health. From these findings it is recommended that medical schools examine their curriculum to identify areas where they feel they put undue academic pressure on their students and work on ways to remediate this situation.

Published: July 2024

Background: Intimate area examination (IAE) is an integral part of clinical examination skills and must be mastered by medical students before they start their careers. This study explores the experiences of Pakistani medical students regarding learning of IAE, the associated barriers and their effects on students’ learning.
Methods: This cross-sectional study, based on a self-designed questionnaire, was conducted at two Pakistani medical colleges, which included final year students and postgraduate trainees.
Results: During their undergraduate training, 74.9% of the respondents had not conducted a female pelvic examination, 51.9% had not examined a female groin, 79.7% had not examined a female rectum, and 72.7% had not examined a male rectum. From the 65 postgraduate doctors, 48.4% reported that they were not prepared to perform an IAE at the start of their clinical career. Regarding barriers to IAE learning, more than half of the respondents felt that the opposite gender of the patient (64.7%) and patient’s refusal (63.1%) had a strong negative effect on IAE learning. A high percentage of respondents reports that they were not taught IAE during their undergraduate years. Among the currently used pedagogical techniques, 71.1% of the respondents opted for real patient-based learning, followed by clinical simulations (21.9%), and videos (7.0%). No one thought examination should be taught theoretically. A significant difference between male and female experience in IAE learning was also observed.
Conclusion: Learning of IAE remains unsatisfactory and poses a major challenge for the Pakistani Medical Students in the institutes included in this study.

Published: July 2024

Have you ever felt your passion for research slowly erode under the weight of unfair practices and relentless pressure to publish? Or been denied authorship credit for work you tirelessly contributed to? If so, you are not alone. This is the harsh reality for many medical students and early career researchers trapped in a “toxic research culture.” This hidden crisis undermines the integrity of medical research and jeopardizes the well-being and career prospects of those eager to advance science. Despite its prevalence, this issue remains shrouded in silence, propagating cycles of harm and hampering scientific progress. This editorial explores the evolution of medical research culture, defines the harmful practices that constitute a toxic environment, and highlights the vulnerability of junior researchers to such practices. Manifestations of toxicity, including bullying, harassment, and unethical authorship practices, are analyzed along with their detrimental impacts on mental health. Current policies and strategies for promoting a healthier research environment are discussed. We highlight the urgent need for reforms, including the promotion of whistleblowing without fear, diversifying leadership, revising evaluation criteria, and implementing educational interventions on research ethics as a preventive measure. Additionally, we explore the impact of fake mentors within academia, advising vigilance against individuals who exploit their roles for personal agendas rather than genuine mentorship. Through a call to action, we urge stakeholders and institutions to safeguard junior researchers and uphold the integrity of scientific research. IJMS plays a crucial role in this transformation by promoting mentorship, ethical practices, and accessible research.
Efficacy of biological larvicide VectoMax® FG against Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens under field conditions in urban catch basins

Published: July 2024

The invasive Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus appeared in southern Switzerland in 2003 and is currently well established in most of its urban regions. In public areas, the control measures against the mosquito focus on its aquatic phase with removal of breeding sites and applications of larvicides at sites that cannot be eliminated. Larvicidal products are applied mainly to catch basins, one of the major sites of oviposition for both Ae. albopictus and Culex pipiens in urban areas. We evaluated the efficacy of a larvicidal formulation (i.e. VectoMax® FG), combing the action of spore-forming bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and Lysinibacillus sphaericus, against Ae. albopictus, Cx. pipiens and non-target organisms present in urban catch basins. We used floating adult emergence traps to compare the number of adults emerging from 38 catch basins treated once during the study period with ten untreated (control) catch basins. The catch basins were monitored for 21 weeks and the efficacy was evaluated fitting a Generalised Additive Mixed Model (GAMM). The efficacy of the treatment varied among species. It was high against Cx. pipiens (100% reduction in emerging adults at maximal efficacy) and lower against Ae. albopictus (60% reduction). This suggests that it is important to examine target species separately when evaluating the efficacy of larvicidal products. The product showed a long residual larvicidal activity with the number of emerging adults still being reduced by 75% for Cx. pipiens and 60% for Ae. albopictus at ten weeks after the treatment. We also observed that the maximal efficacy of the product was reached about two weeks after the treatment. The effect on non-target organisms, specifically, chironomids, was also strong (80% reduction). However, their numbers raised again rather quickly (i.e. after two weeks), and the effect vanished around week 11.

Published: July 2024

The OECD urges governments to improve tax systems by studying taxpayers’ behavior to prevent tax non-compliance. This study focuses on individual Slovene taxpayers aiming to investigate the impact of trust in Tax Administration and gender on tax compliance. In the empirical part of the study, trust and tax compliance were the subject of descriptive statistical analysis, exploratory factor analysis and Spearman correlation coefficients. A Mann-Whitney U test and independent samples median test were performed to evaluate compliance gender differences in tax compliance. The findings unveil that trust in tax administration exhibits a statistically significant and positive correlation with tax compliance intentions in Slovenia while the differences in tax compliance between genders were not confirmed. Taxpayers' fairness perception to gain higher trust should be increased through sufficient information about tax laws and regulations.

Most challenging is motivating bureaucrats who perform duties during their jobs. Public organizations gain more from low-powered incentives than private sector incentives because of multitasking and lack of rivalry. Political and financial incentives dominate public sector motives, much below private sector incentives. Thus, scholars have concentrated on low-powered incentives to boost public sector incentives. This paper examines performance evaluation scheme-optimized incentive system design and operation. The case study of West Lake District, Hangzhou City, China, shows structure, process, and leadership-based organisational motivation development in performance management reform. The findings suggest that scientifically sound reward schemes necessitate effective interaction between many subjects under the current incentive structure. Transformational leadership defines incentive targets and requires high-quality incentive plans to turn reward plans into organisational incentive power. Performance review employing “classified assessment and classified incentive” can boost incentive power. How subordinate government civil servants view the performance evaluation scheme's fairness will affect their "performance recognition". and organisational incentive. This study improves China's performance-based incentive power system and low-powered incentives. The study indicated that fairness perception strengthens organisational incentives and transformative leadership. The study's district focus may restrict its value. Confirming the findings and studying transformative leadership in other public sectors requires research.

The exact mechanisms of multiple sclerosis evolution are still unknown. However, the progress in C57BL/6 mice of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE, similar to human multiple sclerosis) happens as a result of the contravention of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells differentiation profiles integrated with the production of toxic for human’s auto-antibodies-abzymes splitting myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), histones, DNA and RNA as well as IgGs with catalase and peroxidase activities. Here, we first analyzed the change in the relative amylase activity of IgGs from C57BL/6 mice blood over time at different stages of the EAE evolution: onset, acute, and remission phases. It was shown that the amylase activity of IgGs during spontaneous development of EAE first noticeably increases from 50 to 80, then sharply decreases to 100-130, and again sharply increases to 150 days of mice life. Immunization of 3-month-old mice (time zero) with the DNA-histone complex leads to a decrease, while their treatment with MOG results in a substantial increase in the amylase activity of IgGs. The relative activities of all IgG-abzymes indicated above corresponding to various stages of EAE development were compared. The data shows that spontaneous EAE and immunization of mice with DNAhistones complex and MOG leads to a different and very expanded formation of various B lymphocytes, producing abzymes with several diverse catalytic activities. In addition, the relative number of lymphocytes producing diverse antibodies with distinct enzymatic activities (including their relative activities) significantly depend both on the stages of spontaneous and antigen-induced accelerations of EAE development.
Visual disorders in children with shunted hydrocephalus.

The introduction of shunt operations in neurosurgical practice gave a chance for life to these patients and significantly improved its quality. Along with its positive effect, surgical treatment is associated with a number of complications that, together with hydrocephalus itself, affect the subsequent development of shunted patients in the short and long term. In the long term, problems observed in shunted patients are mental retardation, cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, hearing and vision disorders. Visual disturbances are common in children with shunted hydrocephalus. These include reduced visual acuity, eye movement disorders, refractive anomalies, visual field defects, reduced color vision and strabismus, optic atrophy. The mechanism of visual disturbances is associated with damage to the oculomotor pathways, optic nerves and optic radiation, dilatation of the lateral ventricles, and damage to the periventricular white matter. Age at onset of hydrocephalus and ventricular dimension are important in the development of visual disturbances and placement of a shunting system can improve visual function. At the same time ophthalmic disturbances may be the first and only sign of shunt dysfunction and rapid normalization of elevated ICP preserves vision. Visual disturbances in patients with shunted hydrocephalus correlate with higher incidence of CP and epilepsy. They determine the children’s social integration and quality of life.
