Authors: Vicentini Juliana de Oliveira , Queiroz Odaléia Telles Marcondes Machado
Published: March 2024

The management of water resources in Brazil occurs in a decentralized manner. Basin Agencies are deliberative entities that act as the executive office of the River Basin Committees. In the state of São Paulo there are three Basin Agencies: Fundação Agência da Bacia Hidrográfica do Alto Tietê (FABHAT), Fundação Agência da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Sorocaba e Médio Tietê (FABH-SMT) and Agência das Bacias dos Rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí (AB-PCJ). Access to information is considered an important instrument of environmental governance and websites are an advantageous tool in the context of a network society. The general objective is to evaluate and compare the websites of the aforementioned River Basin Agencies, in order to verify the quality of information sharing. The methodology is based on the analysis of the structuring of pages and a protocol composed of seven variables (Identification, Ergonomics, Access to Information, Adequacy of Information, Content, Research and Relationship) and 41 analysis categories. The FABHAT and FABH-SMT website did not meet half of the indicators analyzed, presenting unsatisfactory performance. The AB-PCJ page met 33 requirements, being considered satisfactory. The website of an organization dedicated to water resources management needs to be constantly optimized to attract more users, to improve the community's understanding of the role of these institutions in society, to share information in a clear and accessible way with interested parties, and to strengthen the management of water resources.

Authors: Andolfo Ariele Elis , Silva Paulo Fraga da
Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa de campo que parte do questionamento: Qual é a mudança efetiva que a alfabetização científica traz para a vida das crianças? Buscando responder à essa questão formou-se uma turma de vinte crianças, com idades entre seis e doze anos, em uma associação de moradores na Zona Leste de São Paulo. Ao longo de sete meses foram realizados dezoito encontros, além de dois estudos do meio um no Parque Nascentes do Tietê, em Salesópolis, e outro no Sabina Parque Escola do Conhecimento, em Santo André. Nesses encontros ocorreram intervenções que objetivavam a alfabetização científica dos participantes a partir do trabalho com diversas temáticas de interesse dos alunos e contextualizadas com a realidade social dos mesmos. As crianças e seus responsáveis responderam a questionários que visavam levantar aspectos relevantes para a discussão proposta. A partir da análise realizada neste artigo dos questionários respondidos pelas crianças, antes e depois das intervenções, foi possível concluir que o Projeto mostrou-se eficaz para o avanço da alfabetização científica dos participantes, aproximando as crianças da ciência, mostrando-a como caminho possível para o auxílio na tomada de decisões e relacionando-a com diversas práticas cotidianas. Porém, acredita-se que para uma resposta mais abrangente à questão norteadora se faz necessário ainda a análise dos questionários respondidos pelos pais.
The Google Earth app, geography teaching and children in the literacy process
Authors: De Lima Suzano Auriceli
Published: March 2024

The New Information and Communication Technologies are tools that can help in everyday life, as well as offering support to contribute in the classroom with the aim of instrumentalizing the teaching of geography. This paper presents a report on a classroom experience with children aged six (6) and seven (7) in which the Google Earth application is used to demonstrate how children in the literacy phase express and use geographical knowledge in a meaningful and spontaneous way in their daily lives. However, there are criticisms of the risks of romanticizing the use of information and communication technologies. That said, the step-by-step process is described, from arriving at the school to using the app, the frustration at not being able to use it in the first lesson, and the difficulty of accessing the necessary resources. The children's speeches are transcribed, their reactions as they follow and view the images that the Google Earth application makes available, during the lesson proposed and carried out. At the end, we present some images that reveal how the children express their spatial experiences in drawings. Thus, we advocate the possibility and importance that from elementary school onwards, including in literacy classes for children aged six (6) and seven (7), it is conceivable to develop activities that contribute to the construction of ideas and knowledge pertaining to the teaching of school geography with children who are at the beginning of the literacy process of their language.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: To evaluate which diagnostic methods are most effective for the early assessment of possible cardiac anomalies in utero and in the neonatal period, with the aim of analyzing the impact of tests performed during prenatal care and correlating early diagnosis with the risk of infant mortality. Method: a systematic review was carried out using the Science and Pubmed platforms in the period between 2012 and 2022, where 'newborns' OR 'premature infants' AND 'congenital heart disease' OR 'congenital heart defects' OR 'congenital heart defects' were used in the search” OR “baby's heart” AND “early diagnosis” OR “prenatal diagnosis”. Successively, the articles found were selected according to the previously determined inclusion and exclusion criteria to suit the type of research. Results: after analyzing 97 articles, 23 were in the same parameters and were considered in the study, addressing exams such as ultrasound, nuchal translucency, fetal echocardiogram, genetic tests, pulse oximetry, cardiovascular physical examination and echocardiographic reassessment. Conclusion: given the assumption, it was found that prior identification of the pathological change results in a more improved and prepared therapeutic plan and better psychological acceptance by parents. Therefore, the importance of disseminating the various methods available and how to perform them correctly is justified in order to make an early diagnosis of congenital heart diseases and contribute to reducing the mortality of these newborns.

In 1877, Louis Pasteur studied the phenomenon of antibiosis, that is, the disharmonious interspecific relationship; however, only years later, the first antibiotic substance was developed, in 1929, by Alexander Fleming, which consisted of a yeast-like colony that reproduced in the vicinity of a petri tree. The antimicrobial spectrum can express the range of action of the drug, that is, it expresses the percentage of bacterial groups sensitive to the drug. The resistance of microorganisms represents a phenomenon of their evolutionary adaptation, which can be natural or acquired. The increase in the number of resistant bacteria may be linked to the mechanism of "induced selection", i.e., antibiotics lyse sensitive organisms, leaving resistant ones unharmed; or through dissemination, which happens through ingestion and/or contact with foods composed of antimicrobials.
Rad Komisije za međunarodno pravo na kodifikaciji pravila o sukcesiji država u odnosu na državljanstvo fizičkih lica
Authors: Dimitrijević Duško
Published: March 2024

Rad na kodifikaciji i progresivnom razvoju pravila o državlјanstvu fizičkih lica vezana su za pravila o sticanju, gubitku i promeni državlјanstva u slučaju nastupanja sukcesije država. Budući da sukcesija država nastupa različitim modifikacijama teritorijalnog suvereniteta, a da postojeća sukcesiona međunarodna praksa nije bila jedinstvena i dovolјna za nastanak običajnih pravila, Komisija za međunarodno pravo Ujedinjenih nacija (UN), u čijoj je inače nadležnosti kodifikacija prioritetnih oblasti međunarodnog prava, prihvatila se obaveze da sistematizuje principe o sukcesiji državlјanstva fizičkih lica. U relativno kratkom roku od 1993. do 1999 godine, Komisija je uspela da sačini Nacrt članova o državlјanstvu fizičkih lica u vezi sa sukcesijom država koristeći se ranijim iskustvima povodom usvajanja Konvencije o sukcesiji država u odnosu na ugovore iz 1978. godine i Konvencije o sukcesiji država u odnosu na državnu imovinu, arhive i dugove iz 1983. godine. Iako njen rad zbog objektivnih okolnosti nije okončan usvajanjem nove Konvencije, to ipak ne znači da Nacrtom članova Komisija nije napravila značajan napredak u „legislaciji” materije o sukcesiji država u odnosu na državlјanstvo fizičkih lica.
Deconstructing Gender and Marital Stereotypes: Critical Analysis of Song Lyrics in Pakistan
Authors: Noor Rabia , Missal Maryam
Published: March 2024

This article examines the intricate world of Pakistani song lyrics, aiming to unveil the reinforcement, glorification, and normalization of gender roles and marital stereotypes within Pakistani society. Grounded in cultivation theory, it investigates how the repetitive exposure to these songs may significantly influence passive audiences, shaping their perspectives on societal norms and gender dynamics. Drawing from feminist theory, the study critically examines these lyrics, scrutinizing the presence of negative gender roles and marital stereotypes. Combining feminist theory with critical discourse analysis, this research sheds light on the complex, nuanced, and sometimes overt ways in which deeply ingrained gendered generalizations and hegemonic power dynamics are discursively constructed, reinforced, negotiated, and questioned in diverse contexts and societies. The study underscores the imperative of moving beyond critical analysis to advocate for genuine transformation in addressing gender inequities. By peering into the world of Pakistani song lyrics, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on gender roles, stereotypes, and societal change.
Staatlichkeit und Gewalt im kolonialen Namibia (1883–1915)
Authors: Häussler Matthias
Published: March 2024

Die koloniale Vergangenheit im heutigen Namibia sowie der Krieg gegen und der Völkermord an OvaHerero, Oorlam und Nama in »Deutsch-Südwestafrika« rücken erst langsam in den Fokus des öffentlichen Interesses der Bundesrepublik. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge des Autors aus über einem Jahrzehnt der Forschung zur Gewaltgeschichte der ersten deutschen Kolonie. Er analysiert die Geschehnisse der Jahre 1883–1915, die bis heute auf unterschiedlichsten Ebenen in Namibia nachwirken, und ermöglicht einen differenzierten Blick auf die Opfergruppen und ihre Schicksale, auf maßgebliche deutsche Akteure und ihre Motive sowie auf relevante politische Prozesse in der Kolonie und im Deutschen Kaiserreich. Insbesondere wird dabei deutlich, dass es zur Entfesselung extremer Gewalt keines eliminatorischen Rassismus bedarf, sondern dass die ›normalen‹ Herrschaftsimperative von Staatlichkeit hierfür ausreichen.
Human Body Temperature Circadian Rhythm in Health and Disease
Authors: I. Geneva Ivayla
Published: March 2024

Human body temperature continues to be of interest to researchers with the newest discovery that it had been steadily decreasing since the mid-1800s, thus affecting our definition of normothermia and the cutoff for fever. Further, body temperature constitutes an explicit manifestation of our circadian rhythm, with temperature trough occurring in early morning and peak in the evening in healthy individuals. On the other hand, human illness, as seen among patients ranging from stable hospitalized ones to the critically ill, was shown to correlate with disturbance or even complete disappearance of the body temperature circadian rhythm. Also, night shift work affects the rhythm and had been associated with increased risk for malignancies, gastroenterological and metabolic disorders. Importantly, quantification of the observed rhythm deviations appears to have diagnostic and prognostic value in medicine. This chapter reviews the determinants of body temperature and the body temperature circadian rhythm, discusses the most prominent published research on associations between the rhythm and human disease, and concludes by outlining possible new research avenues and promising clinical applications in the field of chronotherapy.
Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration: Signaling Pathways and Mechanisms
Authors: Hegazi Salma , Aly Roaa , Mesilhy Rowan , Aljohary Hesham
Published: March 2024

This chapter digs into the complexities of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) wound healing, encompassing cellular responses from fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and macrophages, as well as humoral responses involving the release of growth factors and cytokines. The normal wound healing process is hindered in diabetics by factors like infections, venous insufficiency, impaired oxygenation, age-related changes, immune dysfunction, and a dry environment, contributing to delayed and challenging wound healing. The discussion then focuses on the intricate interplay of signaling cascades, including PI3K/Akt, MAPK/ERK, and Wnt/β-catenin, in the pathology of DFUs. Diabetes induces disruptions in the PI3K/Akt pathway, impeding cell migration and angiogenesis due to compromised insulin signaling and increased oxidative stress. Abnormalities in the MAPK pathway, essential for inflammation and tissue remodeling, further impact wound closure in DFUs. Additionally, downregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, crucial for tissue regeneration, contributes to immune dysfunction, delaying healing in diabetic wounds. Finally, the chapter explores multifaceted factors contributing to the pathogenesis of DFUs, including epigenetic modifications, oxidative stress, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the polyol pathway, diacylglycerol-protein kinase C (DAG-PKC) activation, and the nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Persistent hyperglycemia in diabetes hinders wound healing, causing chronic ulcers and complications. Addressing these mechanisms is crucial for revolutionizing management.
Environmental Activism for “Common Home”: Through the Documentary “My Octopus Teacher”
Authors: Martins Felix Sonia , Ali Sikunder
Published: March 2024

This chapter presents an overview of knowledge processes interconnected with two main perspectives, the so-called Euro-American scientific way and the indigenous ways. Taking these two different perspectives, we will revisit the concept of environmental education. We explore how environmental education can benefit from indigenous ways of knowing. While doing so, we will draw on a documentary film-based example, “My Octopus Teacher,” to articulate activism for environmental education. Here, activism could be enhanced and interpreted from the critical thinking dispositions perspective. Activism is then considered a stimulus for environmental education and education for sustainable development issues. This documentary exemplifies by viewing how “to know,” as verb-based knowledge integral to indigenous ways of being, as particular ways of living with nature, can provide deeper meanings to activism in education for sustainability.

Authors: Yui Yoshimichi , Kubo Tomoko
Published: March 2024

Shrinking suburbs cause to occur several problems in Japan. One of the serious problems is the safety of communities, which are kept by community’s members. Some suspicious persons will invade vacancy houses, because nobody can maintain them. And it is difficult to keep house, because of aging of residents. And many public facilities and shopping centers were closed by the depopulation. This chapter introduces two case studies. One is the case of suburb of Hiroshima and another is Ryugasaki new town which is located in suburb of Tokyo. Amidst the aging in the suburb of Hiroshima, facilities for the elderly have been increasing in suburban housing estates in recent years. Facilities planned for child-rearing households and facilities developed for those households are no longer consistent with aging population attributes, and improvement of living convenience facilities and welfare facilities for the elderly is required. Therefore, this study focuses on the location of nursing care insurance service projects such as nursing home care and home care facilities, among welfare facilities for aged people in suburban housing estates, and examines the location of nursing care welfare facilities in the suburban housing estates of Hiroshima City. And we will point out the failure of Japanese town planning.
Addressing the Gender Gap in the STEM Field
Authors: Ibuola Rubie
Published: March 2024

The Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field has gained more traction in the last decades because of the digitalization and technological and economic advancement of society. Amidst the rapid growth in the field, there has been a consistent gender gap, with males making up more than 50% of the STEM field. The gap is often started to be seen as early as secondary school when students start to choose courses. This chapter explores some of the major factors causing this gap from primary school level to career level, drawing on past studies and case studies, and poses possible solutions to bridge the gap. It has a major focus on the United Kingdom but draws examples and case studies from other countries.
Perspective Chapter: Is Metacognition ‘Just’ Imagination? Exploring the Relationship with Implications for Agency and Pedagogy
Authors: Burns Helen
Published: March 2024

This chapter presents research, findings and discussion which emerged from a theoretical exploration of imagination as cognition and metacognition. The researcher took a pragmatic stance in addressing a problem encountered in education practice: that an articulated understanding of ‘imagination’ is largely absent and its likely relationship with metacognition is little articulated, despite these being essential components of learning. Within an interdisciplinary approach, exploring theories across disciplines provided ideas to use in re-imagining imagination. This chapter describes and uses the model of imagination and metacognition which emerged through this process. The model suggests that imagination and metacognition are so inter-related that there is potential to consider them as one and the same, asking ‘is metacognition ‘just’ imagination?’. This question is discussed with the conclusion that it is better to acknowledge the complexity of this relationship than to reduce it to an ‘either/or’ claim. Discussion also includes consideration of a further, intrinsic relationship with personal and social agency, which led to an application of the model to inform and produce evaluative tools for a small research project: Imagination Agents. In conclusion, the chapter recommends that due to the close relationship between imagination, metacognition and agency, we should consider how to better support it within education systems where it is currently neglected.

Originating from the challenges of using ordinary methods for determining the structure of salen-type nickel(II) complexes and the limitations of crystallography of unknown organic powders, which has not been reported for many years, this chapter mainly reviews crystal structure prediction, polymorphism, phase transitions, and the application of computational methods. It also states that new research is incorporating computational chemistry for analyzing powder XRD. In particular, we will explore the possibility of predicting polymorphic crystal structures, which are of academic and industrial interest and applying them to metal complexes and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. There are also high hopes for the recent development of electron diffraction.

Semen babi pada dasarnya bersifat produktif dengan kosentrasi yang rendah, hal ini berpengaruh terhadap kelebihan semen setelah penampungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas sari buah melon-kuning telur (SBM-KT) dalam pengencer sitrat-kuning telur (S-KT) terhadap kualitas spermatozoa babi landrace. Bahan yang digunakan adalah semen segar babi landrace kualitas baik yang diencerkan dengan pengencer perlakuan sebagai berikut: P0: S-KT 100%, P1: S-KT 90% + SBM-KT 10%, P2: S-KT 80% + SBM-KT 20%, P3: S-KT 70% + SBM-KT 30%, P4: S-KT 60% + SBM-KT 40%. Semen yang telah diencerkan disimpan pada suhu 18-20o C dan dievaluasi setiap 8 jam terhadap motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas dan daya tahan hidup spermatozoa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas spermatozoa dalam pengencer sitrat-kuning telur tanpa penambahan sari buah melon (P0) memperlihatkan hasil lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya dengan motilitas (45,00±1,76), viabilitas (55,86±1,11), abnormalitas (4,55±0,54) dan daya tahan hidup (45,30 jam). Dari data diatas maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa substitusi sari buah melon dalam pengencer sitrat-kuning telur tidak efektif untuk mempertahankan kualitas spermatozoa babi landrace. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengencer dengan komposisi yang berbeda dapat memengaruhi kualitas spermatozoa selama penyimpanan, dan perlakuan tanpa penambahan sari buah melon memiliki efek yang lebih baik dalam mempertahankan motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas, dan daya tahan hidup spermatozoa babi Landrace.
