Foi Palmares mesmo que você disse?

Published: April 2023

Neste texto, nosso objetivo é realizar a análise de discursos identificados com a extrema direita e seus modos de produzirem e fazerem circular práticas discursivas que reproduzem o discurso dominante do racismo. Para dar conta desse objetivo, voltamos nosso olhar para a Fundação Cultural Palmares. Esse olhar nos levou à montagem de um arquivo constituído a partir: i) do Relatório, produzido pela instituição, sobre o que chamam de "30 anos de dominação marxista" na Fundação; ii) da circulação no ambiente digital desse acontecimento e de outras notícias a ele associadas; e iii) do recorte de falas do atual presidente da Fundação Palmares, auto-intitulado "negro de direita", e reprodutor de discursos conservadores, de direita e revisionistas. Nossos gestos de interpretação, efetuados a partir das noções de lugar de enunciação, porta-voz e memória, nos permitem identificar o funcionamento da des-localizacão do sujeito enunciador que, por sua vez, produz um efeito de embaralhamento dos lugares enunciativos, oscilando entre o lugar institucional e o um lugar pessoal/individual, entre o público e o privado. Trata-se de uma posição que tanto nega o racismo estrutural da formação social brasileira quanto o esvazia de sentido ao universalizá-lo.

ChatGPT, Google Scholar and the Matthew Effect - What the Heck Did this Preprint Want to Tell Us
Authors: Cocoș Bogdan
Published: April 2023

- Replication of Petiska, 2023, but with manual coding of Google Scholar citations, as ChatGPT cannot give number of citations (don’t know how Petiska managed to make ChatGPT regurgitate Google Scholar citation counts)
- I literally looked up every single reference from ChatGPT in order to manually put every little piece of metadata into a spreadsheet
- Just wanting to provide the data for any curious person out there, so no analyses or results
- Also, I wanted to provide the raw outputs from ChatGPT – They’re starting at “#1 Subdiscipline Summaries” – Making this research as open as possible
- All of this took me from April 17th, up until April 26th, and it required a (stable) Internet connection, some nice 2000’s R&B and patience to look things up

Nurturing Sociolinguistic Competence in Pakistani ELT Context through Teachers: Practices, Perspectives, and Practicalities
Authors: Kausar Ghazala , Hameed Ansa
Published: April 2023

Sociolinguistic competence or the appropriate use of language in different social scenarios is a construct that depends on such social variables as age, gender, class, and ethnicity as well as on different socioeconomic categories too. Teachers have a vital role to play in developing both receptive as well as productive sociolinguistic competence in any society, especially where English is a second language. The present research aimed at investigating public sector school teachers’ perceptions and practices regarding sociolinguistic competence in Pakistan. In terms of sociolinguistic competence, the study has a special focus on context-appropriate grammar and vocabulary usage.  The study consisted of two phases, in the first phase perceptions and practices of school teachers were analyzed using the works of Jianda (2006), Abedi (2016), and Blum-Kulka & Olshtain (1981). In the second phase, building upon the findings, various training sessions were conducted in the Twin Cities of Pakistan to identify the hurdles and suggest practical solutions for the development of sociolinguistic competence among English language learners. The findings indicated that the unawareness of English culture is the major reason for cultural instruction failure in English language learning lessons. Also, by using feasible and cost-effective measures we can develop the sociolinguistic competence of English language learners at public sector schools.

Outras faces da banalidade do mal
Authors: Amaral Muriel Emídio Pessoa
Published: April 2023

A proposta desse ensaio é de perceber como os valores oferecidos por Hannah Arendt acerca da banalidade do mal ainda se tornam presentes, tendo como recorte cena da campanha eleitoral no Brasil de 2018. Arendt acreditou que o mal seria banal a partir do momento em que sujeitos abdicam da qualidade de pensar e refletir e passariam a reproduzir atividades previamente estabelecidas, bem como não teriam a dimensão dos seus comportamentos no cenário político. A imagem do ensaio pretende elucidar que o mal continua banal e com vigor suficientemente forte para ser reverberado em outros cenários, enquanto perspectiva iconográfica

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to examine the views of undergraduate students studying in and their faculty members teaching in distance education during COVID-19 pandemic. The sample consisted of 35 undergraduate students and 34 faculty members. The 'typical case sampling' method was used for selection of participants from different faculties of a foundation trust university in Türkiye. Sampling continued until theoretical saturation (until no new information was obtained from participants). Data was collected through online focus group interviews. Data was analyzed inductively by repetitive data collection cycles, data coding with multi-step processes and comparative analysis. Findings revealed negative, neutral and positive metaphors which described distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, these metaphors indicated the existence of a continuum in the form of three higher order categories including the Experience of Loss, Transformation and Neutrality under which a number of themes and sub-themes were present. The present findings present a user-derived evidence base for improving distance education and therefore these findings could be considered as targets for systems aiming at improving distance education that would be delivered in the future in similar difficult circumstances.
A Rare Case of Lower Lip Growth in Children: A Schwannoma
Authors: Sani Farah , Naidu Bavani , Nor Norul
Published: April 2023

Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm that originates from the neural sheath of Schwann cells. Extracranial schwannomas are commonly observed in the head and neck region in 25% to 40% of all schwannomas; however, presentation in the oral cavity is very uncommon. Schwannoma may cause different issues based on location and extension. It usually resulted in facial disfiguration as well as discomfort and speech difficulties. Malignant transformation of a Schwannoma is an extremely rare event but has been reported. Treatment modalities include observation, radiosurgery, radiotherapy, nerve-sparing stripping resection and complete excision. This case report describes an 8-year-old child who presented with a slow-expanding, non-painful growth at the lower lip over a duration of one year causing distortion of the lip. The child underwent surgical excision of the growth and histopathological examination findings correlate with classic Schwannoma. The patient was followed up and fully recovered with no sign of recurrence.
Activity-based Costing of Common Caries Treatments Among Paediatric Patients
Authors: Sockanathan Loshini , Teo Rufinah , Dom Tuti , Aizuddin Azimatun , Yazid Farinawati
Published: April 2023

Background: Activity-based costing (ABC) is a micro-costing method. Despite being an accurate tool for cost calculation, ABC system is rarely applied in the dental fraternity as it is complex to be conducted. Data gathered through ABC is beneficial in bridging the gap between policy makers who emphasise on cost saving and the practitioners who emphasise on quality of treatment.
Aim: To conduct an ABC of common treatments for caries management among paediatric patients at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), Malaysia.
Methods: ABC was conducted through a clinical pathway to lay out the routine activities of dental caries management among paediatric patients, and to gather information about the equipment, instruments and consumables used, personnel involved, and the time spent for each procedure. Then, these resources were assigned into different categories namely equipment more than RM 500.00, instruments less than RM 500.00, consumables and staff salary. Finally, cost drivers were determined by calculating the amount of resources used and the time spent.
Results: Based on the clinical pathway conducted, there were 10 common treatments for caries management for paediatric patients. The common treatments involved were fissure sealant, glass ionomer cement (GIC) restoration for primary teeth, composite resin (CR) restoration for primary teeth, CR restoration for permanent teeth, strip crown restoration, stainless steel crown (SSC) restoration, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, extraction and scaling. The price range of treatment ranged from RM 60.00 to RM 450.00. Pulpotomy had the highest cost, whereas extraction of teeth had the lowest cost.
Conclusion: Study on costing is important to reduce the gap between the demand in dental treatment and the limited resources available to perform the treatment. ABC is deemed to be appropriate to be used in this study as dental treatments are largely procedure-based and this costing method produces a a more precise and transparent data. The outcome of this data provides a tool for other hospitals to be used as a standardised approach for treating these patients and subsequently improve the quality of dental care given.
Atypical Presentation of Traumatic Ulceration Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia (TUGSE) of the Tongue: A Case Report
Authors: Subarjo Amrotul , Badrulhisham Amir , Razi Mohd , Harith Nabilah , Vairavan Pappathy , Noor Halimah
Published: April 2023

Introduction: This article aims to report a rare case of traumatic ulceration granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) in young children. Contrary to the reported cases in the literature, this article describes an atypical case of TUGSE presented as a solitary tumour on the tongue.

Case Report: A 4 years old boy with Down syndrome was referred to the Paediatric Dentistry Department for management of swelling of the tongue, which gradually increased in size. Clinical examination demonstrated a well-defined firm, pedunculated swelling over the left dorsum of the tongue measuring 15 mm x 12 mm. A provisional diagnosis of fibroma was made. Excisional biopsy was performed under general anaesthesia (GA). Recurrence of the lesion was observed and a subsequent surgical excision with the extractions of left primary molars were conducted under GA. The histopathological examination (HPE) reports interpreted the lesion as TUGSE.

Conclusion: It is difficult to clinically diagnose TUGSA hence histological findings are paramount to establish the diagnosis. Awareness of TUGSE is crucial to emphasise the correct diagnosis and to deliver appropriate and effective treatment.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Mandibular fractures in infants are rare. We aim to describe a case of displaced mandibular fracture of an infant who was managed by a combination of treatment modalities to achieve favourable outcome.

Case report: A healthy 11 months old girl was referred to the Department of Paediatric Dentistry for management of a mandibular fracture following a fall. Clinical and radiographic examination demonstrated a displaced symphysis fracture of the mandible with concomitant right intra-capsular condylar fracture. Open reduction and internal fixation with titanium miniplate and screws were fixated at the lower border of the mandible with additional immobilisation with cap splint. The cap splint was stabilised with circum-mandibular wirings. The splint and implants were removed after 4 weeks and 3 months, respectively. Post-operative healing was uneventful. The face was symmetrical with the primary teeth erupted into occlusion.

Conclusion: The treatment approach should be customised for each case by considering the patient’s age, level of co-operation of the child, degree of fracture displacement, pre-treatment occlusion derangement, and stage of dentition development.

O café é uma das bebidas mais consumidas no mundo e a fermentação controlada de sua cereja vem, através de novas iniciativas, acrescentar características sensoriais diferenciadas a uma bebida tradicional, agregando valores e auxiliando com suas classificações dentro da categoria “especiais”. Este trabalho verificou o desempenho microbiológico de leveduras autóctones (Região de Garça-SP) e alóctones (comerciais) usadas como culturas iniciadoras na fermentação de café arábica pelo processo via seca e a inclusão de nuances sensoriais diferenciadas na bebida. Primeiramente, foi feito o isolamento e seleção de levedura regional extraída de fermentação natural de café. Posteriormente, o café Arábica Ouro Verde, numa fazenda de Garça-SP, foi distribuído em quatro fermentações via seca (100 kg de café cereja distribuídos em quatro bags de 500 L): T1 = com adição da levedura comercial ORO, T2 = com adição da levedura comercial CIMA, T3 = natural (controle) e T4 = com adição de levedura E regional selecionada. Foram feitas, nas amostras obtidas, análises oficiais de pH, temperatura, sólidos solúveis, microbiológicas e sensoriais (prova de xícaras) por especialistas da empresa Capricónio Coffes. Todos os tratamentos fermentativos das cerejas dos cafés testados resultaram num controle de micro-organismos indesejados (diminuição de enterobactérias e bolores), com maior destaque para a fermentação natural. A levedura regional E selecionada mostrou maior adaptação e resultou no maior crescimento (acima de 100 vezes) durante o processo fermentativo. Todas as fermentações resultaram em notas sensoriais elevadas (≥ 85), colocando os cafés dentro da categoria especial, com qualidade excelente, além de que cada tratamento resultou em variadas características sensoriais, aumentando a chance de agradar diferentes segmentos do mercado consumidor.

Authors: Bunse Simone , Murugani Vongai
Published: April 2023

The World Food Programme (WFP) has supported food security and nutrition in Sri Lanka since 1968. Based on research conducted in the Monaragala district in the south, and the Mullaitivu district in the north, on gender dynamics and community resilience, this report aims to identify the ways in which selected WFP projects impact the prospects for peace. The study analyzes the linkages between gender and social cohesion of two WFP resilience-building projects. Its results show that WFP’s projects had the potential to improve social cohesion, especially through the involvement of women in higher-value agriculture and the provision of sustainable income sources. The report highlights the possibilities of strengthening gender transformation through WFP engagement and of contributing to sustainable peace in a particularly difficult operating context where ethnic and religious divisions are wide and gender grievances are often ignored.

Authors: Fyda Janusz , Żelazo Patrycja
Published: April 2023

Organic matter decomposition is one of the most important processes associated with flow of energy and recirculation of organic matter in natural environments. Using commercially sold tea bags of Lipton Sencha green tea (SGT) and Lipton Ceylon black tea (CBT) their decomposition was studied in mixed and coniferous forest. At both stations 25 bags of each tea were buried for a period of 3 months. After elapsed time, the bags were dug up, dried, and the mean weight loss of organic material for each tea type and ecosystem was calculated. In the mixed forest the average weight loss of tea bags was 46.8% for Sencha and 32.1% for Ceylon tea and respectively 44.6% and 30.6%, in the coniferous forest. Statistical analysis test (ANOVA) revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in rate of decomposition between tea types, however the differences between the decomposition of the same type of tea on both type of forest were insignificant.
Porównanie wyników badania sondą krzyżakową i penetrometrem tłoczkowym jako przykład lokalnych zależności korelacyjnych
Authors: Bardel Tomasz
Published: April 2023

Badania polowe i laboratoryjne gruntów dostarczają dużą ilość danych, jednak większość z nich stanowią parametry pomierzone, które z wykorzystaniem różnych wzorów i korelacji przelicza się na parametry wykorzystywane do projektowania. Stosowanie ogólnych korelacji do ich przeliczania nie zawsze prowadzi do uzyskania kompatybilnych wartości, dlatego pożądane jest poszukiwanie lokalnych zależności korelacyjnych. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono zależność korelacyjną pomiędzy wytrzymałością na ścinanie bez odpływu uzyskiwaną z sondy krzyżakowej FVT i penetrometru tłoczkowego dla glin zwałowych rejonu Tarnowa. Na podstawie tej korelacji opracowano krzywą zależności oporu wcisku penetrometru tłoczkowego i stopnia plastyczności. Korelację tę wykorzystano następnie przy badaniu mad gliniastych doliny Dunajca, uzyskując wysokie wartości współczynnika korelacji. Otrzymane wyniki potwierdzają przydatność penetrometru tłoczkowego jako metody szybkiego określania wytrzymałości na ścinanie bez odpływu oraz stopnia plastyczności.
Ocena stanu gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi w wybranych gminach na terenie województwa małopolskiego
Authors: Irla Magdalena , Kowalska Anna
Published: April 2023

Gospodarka odpadami komunalnymi w Polsce ewoluuje od lat 90. XX wieku w kierunku zwiększenia recyklingu i minimalizacji składowania odpadów, zgodnie z hierarchią postpowania z odpadami. Każda gmina dostosowuje system gospodarki odpadami do ogólnych wytycznych, tj. aktów prawnych oraz planów, jednak ilość zebranych odpadów na jednego mieszkańca różni się w poszczególnych gminach w zależności od charakteru gminy, świadomości ekologicznej mieszkańców oraz systemu zbiórki odpadów, w tym lokalizacji i organizacji punktu selektywnej zbiórki odpadów. Osiągnięcie wskazanych przez Unię Europejską poziomów recyklingu danych frakcji wymaga dobrej organizacji systemu zbiórki odpadów oraz współpracy gminy z mieszkańcami, którzy mają istotny wpływ na jakość i ilość materiałów wtórnych uzyskanych w procesie segregacji u źródła. W celu porównania ilości zebranych frakcji odpadów oraz osiągnięcia poziomów recyklingu przeanalizowano dokumenty dotyczące gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi za lata 2013–2020 w wybranych siedmiu gminach województwa małopolskiego.

Authors: Methapisittikul Yanee , Sukying Apisak
Published: April 2023

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of task-related focus-on-forms (FonFs) (i.e., written form and word parts) instructions on EFL vocabulary development in Thai primary school students. The participants were 72 sixth-grade Thai EFL students and were divided into two groups: the written form group participants (n = 37) who received the written instruction and the word parts group participants (n = 35) who received the word parts instruction. In the written form group, the teacher taught the one hundred and four target words by giving their definitions (in the form of target language explanations), followed by the participants’ spelling and example sentences; hence the focus was on the written form. The word parts group did the same as the written form group. Besides, they focused on word parts as another aspect of word form. One vocabulary size test was conducted to measure the number of participants' vocabulary words. Four tests were used to measure receptive and productive knowledge of vocabulary development, and two questionnaires were employed to explore the participants’ perceptions. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data of the study. These findings indicate the significant effect of task-related focus-on-forms (FonFs) on vocabulary development among Thai primary school participants. In addition, the perception questionnaire data analysis also revealed that task-related FonFs in written form and word parts groups helped learn vocabulary. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for further studies are presented.

Authors: Kahale Vivek
Published: April 2023

Currently, one of the most challenging diseases to tis breast cancer. Hormone therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation have all been used to treat breast cancer for a long time, but they are become eating less and less successful due to serious side effects and rising drug resistance. Numerous dietary foods have been linked to altered cancer genesis and progression pathways, decreased aggressiveness, and growth inhibition of malignant cells. These dietary foods may be advantageous compared to produce medications since they exhibit lower toxicity and negative effects in various investigations. The promises made by dietary foods for breast cancer treatment by focusing on several pathophysiological cascades involved in the onset and progression of breast cancer and their capacity to simultaneously stop metastatic and growth progression. Some of the extensively researched numerous dietary foods that specifically target certain breast cancer pathways and express any of the three attributes are mentioned in article.

Authors: Balasubramanian Ganesh Pandian
Published: April 2023

Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) among geriatric are detrimental to both clinical outcomes and health care costs. Knowledge of PIMs among community pharmacists plays vital role in minimizing the inappropriate prescribing. Beers Criteria is commonly used guidelines that lists specific PIMs, where community pharmacists would benefit from knowledge of Beers Criteria in detecting PIMs in primary care. This study therefore investigates the knowledge, attitude and perception of PIMs among community pharmacists in Kedah, Malaysia. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study. The knowledge of PIMs; perception regarding PIMs; awareness of Beers Criteria; and perception of educational needs to enhance community pharmacists’ knowledge about PIMs was assessed by using 5‐point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were used to analyse the data. In this study a total of 107 community pharmacists participated. The respondents demonstrated a higher-level knowledge of PIMs. All of the respondents agreed inappropriate medications among geriatric will cause increased in healthcare utilization, health complications and hospitalization. The respondents demonstrated poor awareness of Beers Criteria. Majority respondents were uncertain that Omeprazole is the most common Beers medication prescribed in healthcare system. Majority of respondents agreed incorporation of geriatric pharmacotherapy education as a core subject or elective subject and postgraduate education in geriatric pharmacotherapy can help to enhance community pharmacists’ knowledge about PIMs among elderly patients. The community pharmacists in Kedah demonstrated high knowledge level of PIMs but poor awareness of the Beers Criteria. Thus, there is a need to increase the awareness and use of Beers Criteria among community pharmacists.
A review on diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Daware Smita
Published: April 2023

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a significant state that leads to progressive airflow obstruction and subsequent irreversible damage to the airways. It is a major factor causing death and has a very high mortality rate worldwide. In recent years, the mortality rate has increased due to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it is estimated to increase in the coming years. This paper reviews the emerging techniques using these technologies that can be used to detect and monitor the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Internet of Things can help to detect and monitor the condition of a patient suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using sensors which are used to measure a particular parameter like concentration of different gases present in the exhaled breath and ensure that his condition doesn’t get worse. Using an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based approach, a system can be developed where the data is collected from sensors, followed by pre-processing and feature extraction for further estimation using a model to identify a person suffering from this disease. The conventional methods used by medical practitioners for the detection of this disease are expensive, time consuming as a lot of tests are to be performed and can cause exposure to radiation. Therefore, research has been carried out in recent years to find other ways to detect this disease. It has been found that with the help of advancing technologies such as Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Signal processing techniques, it is possible to develop an easy, fast, non-invasive and cost-effective system that would help to diagnose and detect this disease and provide accurate results.

We aim to explore the relationship between work pressure and depression, and sexual desire in a healthcare professional. A cross-sectional study was conducted with healthcare professionals between the age of 18-45 years in a multispecialty healthcare institute using the Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAMD), and Telford and Wrekin sexual health questionnaire. In total, 150 people participated in our study, with a mean age of 28.83 ± 5.56 years. Among them22.0% of respondents had low work pressure, 42.7% had moderate work pressure, and 35.3% had heavy work pressure. In terms of sexual desire, 20.7% (31) of the participants desired to have sexual relations every day, 22% (33) twice a week, 22% (33) once a week, 15.3% (23) once a month, and 20% (30) of the participants did not have sexual desire. As per the HAM-D scale assessment, 40.7% of the participants were normal, while 12.7 % had mild depression. People who were moderately, severely, or highly depressed made-up 16%, 10.7%, and 20% of the participants, respectively. A chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between the two variables. There was no statistically significant difference in the presence of depression among work pressure (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in sexual desire among work pressure (p<0.001). The study concluded that there was no difference in the presence of depression among various levels of work pressure, and there was a difference in sexual desire.
