O APRENDIZADO DO CONCEITO MATEMÁTICO NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL I E II
Authors: Santos Marivaldo da Silva , Pinho Alexandra Moreno
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo aborda o aprendizado do conceito matemático no Ensino Fundamental I e II, identificando práticas pedagógicas eficazes e desafios comuns enfrentados pelos estudantes nestas etapas. Com base em um referencial teórico que engloba teóricos da educação, investigamos as particularidades do desenvolvimento cognitivo dos alunos e suas implicações para o aprendizado de matemática. Utilizando uma abordagem metodológica de revisão bibliográfica foi possível perceber que a compreensão dos conceitos matemáticos se dá de forma gradativa e construtiva, sendo crucial o papel do educador para mediar este processo. Os principais resultados indicam que os métodos pedagógicos que priorizam a experimentação, a resolução de problemas e a contextualização dos conceitos em situações reais favorecem a internalização e a aplicabilidade da matemática pelos estudantes. Além disso, o uso de recursos didáticos variados, como jogos e tecnologias digitais, mostrou-se promissor para o engajamento e a compreensão dos alunos. Por outro lado, foi identificado que a memorização excessiva e a descontextualização da matemática são fatores que contribuem para o desinteresse e as dificuldades de aprendizagem.

Abstract. The response of evapotranspiration to anthropogenic warming is of critical importance for the water and carbon cycle. Contradictory conclusions about evapotranspiration changes are caused primarily by their brevity in time and sparsity in space, as well as the strong influence of internal variability. Here, we present the first gridded reconstruction of the summer (June, July, and August) vapor pressure deficit (VPD) for the past 4 centuries at the European level. This gridded reconstruction is based on 26 European tree ring oxygen isotope records and is obtained using a random forest approach. According to validation scores obtained with the Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency, our reconstruction is robust over large parts of Europe since 1600, in particular for the westernmost and northernmost regions, where most tree ring records are located. Based on our reconstruction, we show that from the mid-1700s a trend towards higher summer VPD occurred in central Europe and the Mediterranean region that is related to a simultaneous increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation. This increasing summer VPD trend continues throughout the observational period and in recent times. Moreover, our summer VPD reconstruction helps to visualize the local and regional impacts of the current climate change, as well as to minimize statistical uncertainties of historical VPD variability. This paper provides also new insights into the relationship between summer VPD and large-scale atmospheric circulation, and we show that summer VPD has two preferred modes of variability, namely a NW–SE dipole-like mode and a N–S dipole-like mode. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary use of the data should be emphasized, as summer VPD is a crucial parameter for many climatological feedback processes in the Earth's surface system. The reconstructed summer VPD gridded data over the last 400 years are available at the following link: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5958836 (Balting et al., 2022).

A Study on Relationship between the Cultural Budget and Local Policy Orientation
Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Ahn Sungah , Jeong Boram
Published: March 2024

South Korea's challenges of low birth rates and an aging population are progressing at the fastest pace compared to other countries, leading to significant societal issues due to rapid demographic changes. These problems are particularly severe at the regional level. To mitigate regional extinction, it is crucial to develop specific funding utilization strategies tailored to the conditions of region to enhance competitiveness. As population issues intensify, local governments are actively investing in the cultural sector to secure regional competitiveness.
This study aims to analyze how cultural budget varies according to the characteristics of local governments with the assumption that local policy decision-makers allocate funds reasonably. We collected data on cultural budget, population, geography, and economic characteristics of 226 local governments nationwide. and empirically verified that policy orientation in cultural policy varies according to regional characteristics.
The results showed that local governments located in the metropolitan area with a relatively low population decline rate had a higher culture budget allocation for welfare, while local governments located in provinces with a higher population decline rate had a higher budget allocation for development such as tourism and cultural heritage. Additionally, regions with a higher proportion of cultural arts budget showed a higher quality of life, while local governments with higher budget allocation for tourism had a statistically estimated correlation with residents' income. We hope that the results of this study provide valuable insights for understanding the cultural policies of regions facing a population crisis.

Published: March 2024

This study sought to detect randomness effects among raters in physics essay items using Many-Facet Rasch Measurement. The research design adopted for this study is descriptive research design based on survey method. The population of the study comprised eighty-eight (88) public schools in all the local government areas with a physics student population of 3,642 students and ninety-four (94) physics teachers in all the Senior Secondary Schools in Uyo Senatorial District for the 2022/2023 academic session. Three hundred and sixty-four (364) SSS3 physics students and 37 physics teachers from the 31 selected secondary schools in Uyo Senatorial District were sampled using multistage sampling technique for effective selection. The multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for the study. The instrument used for data collection was Physics Achievement Test (PAT) obtained from WAEC and NECO 2020 Physics Essay items with reliability coefficients of 0.91 and 0.90 respectively. The finding revealed that most of the individual raters commit randomness effect when rating physics essay Items. It also revealed there is a significant difference at the rater's group level exhibiting randomness effect when rating physics essay items, which implies that there is no group-level randomness effect present among raters when rating physics essay items. We concluded that rater effects are sources of variance in performance ratings that are associated with the raters' behaviour and not the actual performance of the ratee. It was recommended that raters should follow the rating guidelines to reduce the impact of randomness in their ratings and provide more accurate and objective evaluations.

Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVES: Long working hours and overwork are growing public health concerns in the Western-Pacific region. We explored the relationship between working hours and smoking behaviors of Korean workers.

METHODS: This study included 284 782 observations (50 508 workers) from four nationwide cohort studies in Korea. Using generalized estimating equations, we estimated the associations of working hours with current smoking status, smoking initiation, and smoking cessation within each cohort. Cohort-specific estimates were combined through random-effect meta-analysis. Effect sizes were presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95 confidence intervals (CI).

RESULTS: The overall smoking prevalence was 26.8% within the cohorts. The adjusted OR (95% CI) of the association between working hours and current smoking were 1.01 (0.94–1.08) for <35 hours/week, 1.04 (1.01–1.09) for 41–48 hours/week, 1.06 (1.01–1.10) for 49–54 hours/week, and 1.07 (1.04–1.10) for ≥55 hours/week compared with 35–40 hours/week. The adjusted OR (95% CI) of the association between working hours and smoking cessation in the follow-up were 0.93 (0.85–1.02) for <35 hours/week, 0.89 (0.83–0.96) for 41–48 hours/week, 0.87 (0.81–0.95) for 48–54 hours/week, and 0.91 (0.85–0.98) for ≥55 hours/week compared with 35–40 hours/week. No clear associations were observed between working hours and smoking initiation.

CONCLUSION: Long working hours are associated with high current smoking risk and reduced likelihood of smoking cessation among Korean workers. Policy interventions are required to promote smoking cessation and reduce excess overwork for individuals experiencing long working hours.

Authors: Singh Akanksha , Kumari Priyanka , Sharma Divya , Singh Arjun
Published: March 2024

Despite recent advances in the field of chemically synthesized pharmaceutical agents, nature remains the primary source of bioactive molecules. Natural product research is a valuable approach for the discovery and development of novel biologically active compounds with unique structures and mechanisms of action. Despite their use in traditional treatment regimes, plant-derived compounds still account for a significant portion of today's pharmaceutical agents. Their medical significance is widely acknowledged in the field of oncology, particularly as an alternative to the limitations of conventional chemotherapy (severe side effects and inefficacy due to the occurrence of multi-drug resistance). Furthermore, the preclinical to clinical evaluation of the most recently studied natural compounds with potent antitumor activity (e.g., resveratrol, curcumin, betulinic acid, etc.) in terms of anticancer mechanisms of action and potential indications as chemotherapeutic or chemopreventive agents and sensitizers is depicted. Finally, this review describes several effective platforms for the encapsulation and targeted delivery of natural compounds in cancer treatment. This review uses representation to provide a comprehensive view of the mechanism of action of the agents of natural origin.
A Review on the Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Natural Phytochemicals used for Ameliorating/preventing SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Singh Arjun
Published: March 2024

The global corona virus disease outbreak, also known as the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, caused a major health crisis around the world. The morbidity and mode of transmission of COVID-19 appear to be more severe and uncontrollable. The main pathophysiology of this deadly disease is respiratory failure and subsequent cardiovascular complications. From a pharmacological standpoint, several therapeutic strategies have been proposed for the development of safe and effective treatment against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but no specific treatment regimen has been developed for this viral infection to date. The current review focuses on the role of herbs and herbs-derived secondary metabolites in inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as in the management of post-COVID-19 complications. This strategy will promote and protect the use of medicinal plant resources to support the healthcare system. Plant-derived phytochemicals have already been shown to prevent viral infection and to alleviate post-COVID complications such as parkinsonism, kidney and heart failure, liver and lung damage, and mental problems. We investigated mechanistic approaches of herbal medicines and their phytochemicals as antiviral and post-COVID complications by modulating immunological and inflammatory states in this review.

According to the current population census, India ranks second with a net population of 144 crore 18 lakhs 77 thousand 249 in total. Among these, men account for 74 crores 44 lakhs 79 thousand 293 (51.6%), while females make up 69 crores 73 lakhs 97 thousand 957 (48.4%). Due to gender inequality and the substantial population difference, the participation rate has been consistently decreasing from male to female populations. This trend reflects a clear suppression of the inherent expertise of females. Migratory compulsions, influenced by various factors, have further contributed to this situation. However, extensive efforts by various fisheries extension and cooperative bodies, such as NFDB, KVKs, NGOs, etc., have yielded practical outcomes. These initiatives have successfully addressed the significant gender gap in aquaculture, utilizing natural resources optimally. The crucial role played by women in bridging this gap is of utmost importance. Failure to sustain this progress could lead to undesirable consequences and act as a barrier to achieving the top position in fish culture for our country, including our motherland Bengal, in the long run.

Published: March 2024

The impact of demographic variables and biases on investment performance can guide personalized investment strategies and product development within the financial services sector, catering to the unique needs and preferences of academicians as investors. With the growing importance of mutual funds in investment portfolios and the prevalence of behavioral biases influencing decision-making processes, understanding how demographic factors intersect with these biases is crucial. Moreover, the influence of demographic factors on these biases and their subsequent impact on investment outcomes remain underexplored within this specific demographic group. By uncovering how demographic characteristics intersect with behavioral biases in mutual fund investment decisions among academicians, it can inform tailored financial education programs aimed at mitigating biases and enhancing financial literacy among this demographic. The study seeks to provide valuable insights for both academicians and financial practitioners to improve investment decision-making processes and outcomes. Despite the increasing popularity of mutual funds as investment vehicles, academicians, like many investors, are susceptible to behavioral biases that can impede rational decision-making. The author concluded that addressing these implications has the potential to foster more informed and effective investment decision-making processes, benefiting academicians and the broader investor community alike.
