Student Achievement of Course Learning Goals in an Asynchronous Distance Learning Course Redesigned using Fink's Taxonomy of Significant Learning
Authors: Downing Molly , Cynthia H. Canan  , T'Bony M. Jewell  , Diana D. Kang
Published: December 2024

Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning (FTSL) is an instructional strategy that provides an effective framework for (re)designing course learning experiences to achieve student-centered learning goals. Originally developed for in-person courses, little research exists around its application to effectively design distance learning (DL) courses. This study aims to evaluate if the DL community can also utilize FTSL as a strategy for supporting online learners toward achieving significant learning goals. To address this aim, an asynchronous DL general education course for undergraduates was redesigned by applying FTSL during the development of course learning goals, assessments, and learning activities. A deductive, manifest content analysis was conducted to measure achievement of course learning goals across all nine written course assessments (n=40 student participants). Then, learning frequencies were quantified for each category of significant learning. Study findings indicate most student participants engaged in learning experiences related to five of the six categories within Fink’s taxonomy several times throughout the semester, with higher frequencies of learning in categories for application, followed by the human dimension and foundational knowledge, then caring and integration. In conclusion, study findings support that applying FTSL during the course (re)design process also supports online learners toward achieving significant learning goals, with course assessments that include analysis, aesthetic learning, and self-reflection as useful exercises for achieving said goals. Future research can build on this study by evaluating if online learners that achieve significant learning goals also experience long-lasting change relevant to the learner’s life (i.e., engage in a significant learning experience).

Authors: Minosky Shayna , El Aini Nachwa , Justus Brandon , Bali Tanisha
Published: December 2024

With the rapidly expanding availability of online courses, concerns have been raised about student engagement and connection within the online environment. Using an experimental design, we examined the effects of video camera, microphone, and chat box communication mediums on students’ experiences of social presence, peer rapport, motivation, satisfaction, and anxiety. A total of 133 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to a video, audio, or chat box condition and asked to complete an online interactive group task and a post-task survey.  One-ways ANOVAs indicated that participants in the chat box condition reported lower levels of social presence, peer rapport, motivation and satisfaction compared to both the video and audio conditions, with no differences between the video and audio conditions. Those in the video condition reported higher anxiety levels than those in the chat box condition. We recommend that students participate in their online classes using video cameras and/or microphones to increase engagement and interpersonal connections with peers.
Learning Online vs. Learning in Person: A Mixed-Methods Approach to Understanding How Student Preferences and Perceptions have Evolved Since the Pandemic
Authors: Bright Kristi , Vogler Jane
Published: December 2024

Undergraduate enrollment in online courses has been trending upward over the past decade, despite declining enrollment overall. With the onset of COVID-19 during the Spring 2020 semester, more undergraduates were suddenly thrust into online courses. Although learning outcomes for face-to-face and online courses may not differ, some students may not be as efficacious or self-regulated in online contexts and thus, prefer to take classes face-to-face when possible. We aimed to understand undergraduates’ preferred course modality (online, face-to-face) and explored how those preferences may have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic. We also sought to determine whether students’ online self-efficacy and self-regulation skills varied by their preferred modality. Undergraduates (N = 1034) enrolled in various classes between 2019-2023 completed an online survey. Taking a convergent mixed-methods approach, we analyzed qualitative data related to reasons for their online or face-to-face preferences and quantitative data related to their self-efficacy and self-regulation for online learning. Results indicate student preferences have shifted from a clear preference for in-person classes to more equal distribution across modalities, with reasons related to perceived better support for learning, self-regulation, and need for human interaction (face-to-face) versus flexibility (online). Students’ self-regulation and self-efficacy for online learning did not consistently differ across preferred modality. Instructors can use these findings to inform course design, considering how they might incorporate such benefits regardless of their course modality. Institutions might also consider how to balance students’ need for flexibility but preference for face-to-face courses by implementing more hybrid options and providing various financial supports.
MOOC teaching assistants’ global-engaged learning in the US and China
Authors: Li Yue , Armstrong Anne , Krasny Marianne
Published: December 2024

How can we create a “global-at-home” learning experience for university students to engage them in serving global professional communities online? This study applied global engagement surveys alongside interviews and focus groups in online contexts to examine engaged learning outcomes of US and Chinese university students who served as MOOC teaching assistants to interact with the course participants from over 50 countries. Findings from pre and post surveys showed that TAs significantly increased their scores on efficacy, political voice, conscious consumption and critical reflection. Further, qualitative analysis showed that TAs worked to adapt their language in their communication with participants, a key aspect of intercultural competence, and that they gained self-efficacy in online communication and in their ability to make a difference. TAs described affordances of online global-engaged learning, including accessibility, time for reflection, lack of implicit bias, creating long-term connections, and reaching large audiences. They also reflected on challenges, including lack of emotional connection, lack of response from participants, language barriers, and perceived lack of expertise. The study offers recommendations for designing online learning and community engagement experiences that can provide opportunities for university students to gain intercultural competence, efficacy, and reflection.
The Impact of Different Instructor Participation Approaches in Asynchronous Online Discussions on Student Performance
Authors: Xie Jiarui , Adjei Mimi , Correia Ana-Paula
Published: December 2024

Instructor participation plays a crucial role in asynchronous online discussions, with the approach taken potentially impacting student performance. This study compared two instructor participation approaches: replying to student posts on public discussion boards and commenting on student posts on private grade pages. It examined the impact on both the quantity of student participation and the quality of student posts. The findings revealed that students had more interactions with each other when the instructor replied on discussion boards than when the instructor commented on grade pages, despite both approaches leading to an interconnected social network. The number of student posts and the overall quality of student posts did not show a significant difference between the two approaches. Nonetheless, both approaches contributed to a gradual improvement in the quality of student posts over time. Additionally, when the instructor commented on grade pages, students gradually focused more on knowledge construction in their posts rather than social communication.
Envisioning Hopeful Futures: Designing Racially Just Online Learning
Authors: Gurjar Nandita
Published: December 2024

This autoethnographic study examines the influence of my positionality in designing a hopeful, racially just online learning. Hope stems from an innate belief in the possibilities for a brighter future. Therefore, hope involves embracing strengths. In this paper, I explore the influence of my positionality on my online course design through autoethnography. I analyze how feminism has impacted my online course design and strategies for cultivating teaching, social, and cognitive presence for racially just online learning. Racially just online learning aims for representational justice, recognitive justice, and representational justice to restore to people their history, culture, language, and dignity. I describe how my online course design is rooted in human-centered learning design with empathy where learners’ cultural capital, lived experiences, and funds of knowledge are valued and honored. In this trusting, caring online community, open educational practices and appreciative inquiry empower learners with learner agency for a hopeful and racially just future.

Authors: Novita Stefani Arfiyani , Harnadi Bernardinus , Koeswoyo G. Freddy
Published: December 2024

Ria Sari Bus Ticket Agent is a night ticket agent that serves the various regions in Indonesia. Currently, the agent still uses a manual system to record bus ticket sales. Agents still write prospective passenger data and calculate agent commissions manually. In addition, sometimes agents forget about passenger orders that have been booked long ago. This usually happens during the Eid season and long vacations. This bus agent also does not have a recap of sales reports every month, so it does not know the commission earned each month. This study has a solution in a website-based ticket sales information system developed using Laravel, PHP, XAMPP, and MySQL. The purpose of the study is to design and develop a website-based bus ticketing system for Ria Sari Bus Ticket Agent. The testing of the system is conducted by interviews with the owner and users of the system. The result shows all features and menus available in this system are working properly and in accordance with the access rights of each user. The owner and users are satisfied and perceived helpful in using the system.

Teachers’ acceptance of technology-based simulation games as teaching pedagogy in management education: an extended technology acceptance model
Authors: Kapoor Vartika , Sohi Davinder Kaur
Published: December 2024

The present study investigates the factors underlying the adoption of technology-based simulation games (SGs) by teachers in the formal management education. The proposed framework is an integration of the widely used Technology Acceptance Model (TAM); two institutional factors namely, top management support and training; and one individual factor, i.e. self-efficacy. The proposed model was empirically tested using a sample of 311 teachers selected using convenience sampling from the Indian management institutions.  The primary data was gathered through surveys of teachers from business and management schools in India. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the proposed model. This study has found that the three external variables, i.e. top management support, training opportunities and self-efficacy, have direct influence on the two constructs of TAM (i.e. perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use), and have indirect influence on adoption intention of simulation games. The findings of this study have relevance to the SG developers as well as the top authorities / management of business schools. The findings suggest that SG developers must concentrate on creating the solutions that fit well with the teachers’ current pedagogies. Moreover, the management of business schools provide adequate training and support to their teachers to promote the adoption of SGs. The study contributes to the literature by putting forward the perceptions of management teachers within Indian contexts. By proposing an extended TAM model, the study has contributed to the knowledge of educational technology adoption in the context of technology-based simulations for teaching.
Microvascular reactivity in anesthetized cats: feasibility and proof of concept study
Authors: Liao Pen-Ting , Tillson Michael , Clark-Price Stuart , Kuo Kendon , Gerken Katherine
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

Assessment of feasibility and proof of concept study for microvascular reactivity in anesthetized cats.

METHODS

12, adult, healthy, purpose-bred cats were included. Cats were anesthetized and instrumented with a perivascular ultrasound transit time flow probe around the main pulmonary artery, a femoral arterial catheter, a central venous catheter, and a laser Doppler flowmeter with a heating unit. After a 20-minute stabilization period, microvascular reactivity, hemodynamic variables, and arterial and central venous blood gases were measured during 3 phases: (1) baseline, (2) hemorrhage, and (3) isotonic crystalloid bolus. Hemorrhage was induced by atraumatic blood loss of 20 mL/kg over 20 minutes. An isotonic crystalloid bolus at 20 mL/kg was administered IV over 20 minutes.

RESULTS

6 cats were excluded from the analysis due to equipment errors or surgical complications. Microvascular reactivity decreased significantly after hemorrhage and remained below baseline after isotonic crystalloid bolus.

CONCLUSIONS

Microvascular reactivity assessment is feasible in healthy anesthetized cats. Hemorrhage decreases microvascular reactivity, and the administration of an isotonic crystalloid bolus did not reverse these changes. However, the small sample size may limit the external validity of the results.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This study demonstrated the feasibility of microvascular reactivity assessment in anesthetized cats. However, proper validation is warranted before clinical application.
Effect of recording angle on accuracy of Kinovea-based kinematic gait analysis compared to three-dimensional motion analysis in healthy dogs: optimal at 90° recording angle
Authors: Winkler Elena V. , Lauer Susanne K. , Steigmeier-Raith Stephanie I. , Zablotski Yury , Mille Monika A.
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of recording angle on the accuracy of 2-D Kinovea-based kinematic motion analysis (KMA) compared to 3-D KMA in dogs.

METHODS

In this prospective study, 3-D marker-based KMA (VICON-Nexus, version 2.12.1, and Procalc, version 1.6; VICON Motion Systems Ltd) was performed on healthy dogs (body weight ≥ 20 kg) walking on a treadmill (study period: November 2022). Simultaneously, dogs were video-recorded by 3 smartphones (iPhone SE; Apple Inc) at 1.50 m distance and 45°, 90°, and 135° recording angles relative to the shoulder for Kinovea-based, angle-calibrated KMA. Shoulder, elbow, carpal, hip, stifle, and tarsal joint kinematics were calculated for 3 synchronized gait cycles. Each gait cycle was divided into 10 increments. The estimated difference between 3-D KMA and Kinovea was assessed using robust linear mixed-effects models.

RESULTS

34 dogs were included. Differences of less than 5° between methods were considered reasonable. At a 45° recording angle, the estimated joint angle difference was < 5° for the carpus and hip during ≥ 5 of 10 gait cycle increments. At 90°, the difference was < 5° across all joints for ≥ 9 of 10 increments and at 135° was < 5° for the elbow, carpus, and hip for ≥ 7 of 10 increments.

CONCLUSIONS

Kinovea-based kinematics were most accurate when recorded at 90°. At 45°, Kinovea provided accurate data for the carpus and hip and at 135° for the elbow, carpus, and hip.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

While angle-calibrated kinematic measurements can be accurate when using Kinovea for canine KMA, a 90° recording angle is preferable.
Defragmentation of Students' Conceptual Understanding in Solving Non-Routine Mathematics Problems
Authors: Djannah Miftakhul , Setyaningsih Nining , Kholid Muhammad Noor , Reotutar Mark Angelo C
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the impact of concept fragmentation on students' understanding of mathematics and examines efforts to reduce it. Concept fragmentation hinders problem-solving abilities, often occurring when students struggle to create meaningful connections or new representations from existing ones. Limited interventions, such as cognitive conflict and scaffolding, are suggested to address this issue. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, focusing on two seventh-grade students in Sukoharjo, Indonesia, who exhibited concept fragmentation. Data collection involved tests, interviews, and observations, with analysis following qualitative methods. The findings indicate two main types of fragmentation: translational thinking fragmentation and meaningless connection fragmentation. These arise when students attempt to build new representations but make errors due to disconnected prior knowledge. Interventions revealed a pattern of developing schemas, where students knit together concepts to minimize problem-solving errors. Techniques such as rereading problems and substituting information into formulas improved concept comprehension. The study concludes that defragmentation aids students in connecting existing knowledge with new information, enhancing their problem-solving strategies. Future research should investigate other fragmentation types and effective interventions for reducing fragmentation in mathematics learning.
Forget the past: Students’ academic performances at FEUP’s Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering
Authors: Lopes António , Duarte Teresa , Da Silva Lucas
Published: December 2024

Knowing how academic performances of students evolve along their stay at University, and how those are conditioned by background, personal and institutional factors is fundamental to delineate policies towards excellence. This paper investigates possible correlations between six variables that characterize the academic performances over a period of five years of students admitted in 2016-2017 at the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering (MIEM) of FEUP. The analysis is performed considering all students at once and students organized in eight groups, giving their gender (Male/Female), type of secondary school they came from (Public/Private), living residence prior to university (Away/Home), and rank of MIEM on the University application forms (Option 1/Option 2-6). From the correlation analysis, a pattern emerges revealing that “the memory of the university application marks is progressively lost as time passes”. In other words, students with higher (lower) application marks tend to perform better (worse) in their first year. But, as time passes, the students’ performances evolve (getting better or worse) and, at the end of their fifth year at FEUP (no matter they concluded MIEM or not), the students’ performances are practically unrelated with their application marks. The pattern reveals the strength of FEUP/MIEM to take heterogeneous groups and give equal opportunities to all, no matter their past, thus fulfilling democratization and inclusiveness goals.
Advanced Materials Methods Driving New Life in Critical Infrastructure
Authors: Riveros Guillermo , Mahmoud Hussam , Hassan Emad
Published: December 2024

Fatigue damage is a major threat to many hydraulic steel structures (HSS). HSS experience fatigue loading during operation and are exposed to harsh environmental conditions that reduce fatigue life. The common methods to inspect and repair HSS is time-consuming and costly. Studies investigating the use of bonded Carbon and Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP, BFRP) to repair fatigue cracks in HSS are lacking. The main objectives of this study was to increase the bonding of FRP, investigate the effectiveness of different fiber-reinforced polymers, and perform experiments on different retrofitting configurations. In this study, eight large-scale center-cracked panels were tested under mode I loading under different environmental conditions, repair materials, and retrofitting configurations. Results indicated that the use of both CFRP and BFRP are both effective at extending fatigue life. Steel retrofitted with full patches of BFRP that cover the crack can reached infinite fatigue life. This article will conclude with several examples where FRP’s have been used to repair lock gates.

Authors: SAGIDOV Yurii N.
Published: December 2024

Subject. The article is devoted to acceleration of economic development of Russia as a country in transition.
Objectives. The study aims to present the author's vision of conceptual approaches to organization of the economy of the country and regions on an innovative basis, in conjunction with the improvement of center-regional relations as a factor of economic and political development.
Methods. The methodological basis of the research is the problem consideration in the context of the theory of peripheral economy of capitalism, and works of domestic and foreign scientists on the development of conceptual foundations for accelerating the development of countries and their regions adapting to the world economy.
Results. I substantiated and presented the concept of accelerated development as an alternative to the concepts of catch-up and advanced development, reflected in the literature. The paper unveils shortcomings of the models of center-regional relations tested in the post-Soviet period, which inhibit economic development, and offers a model of reconciliation of interests and a mechanism for transition to new center-regional relations.
Conclusions. The scientific research results and proposed approaches to stimulating the acceleration of economic growth in Russia and its regions can be used in the updated process of reforms on economic and social development.
A new stage of personal income taxation in Russia
Authors: AGUZAROVA Fatima S. , TSIRIKHOVA Agunda R.
Published: December 2024

Subject. The article deals the latest changes in the Russian legislation regarding the taxation of personal income that is planned to be legally effective as of January 1, 2025.
Objectives. The article aims to examine historical, theoretical, and practical foundations of personal income taxation to determine the feasibility of introducing a progressive scale.
Methods. The study draws on methods of comparison, observation, and scientific abstraction.
Results. We established that the indicators of budget revenues from the payment of personal income tax tended to increase both at progressive and flat tax rate. The performance of the payment under study is influenced by such factors as employment, income received by an individual, manufacturing sector expansion, and creation of new jobs. The findings can be applied in the work of executive authorities, budgetary, and other organizations, including the educational process of academic institutions.
Conclusions. The transition to progressive scale of taxation can lead to undesirable consequences, since there is a high risk of hiding citizens' incomes. The order of differentiation of tax rates requires economic thinking. A system should be created to eliminate social inequality by taking into account the income level of individuals.

Gempa bumi menjadi bencana alam paling mematikan yang memberikan dampak terhadap lingkungan tempat tinggal manusia. Kawasan Kelurahan Ciumbuleuit di Kecamatan Cidadap, Kota Bandung merupakan daerah dengan potensi tinggi terhadap risiko gempabumi karena lokasinya yang berdekatan dengan Sesar Lembang. Sepanjang 29 Kilometer Sesar Lembang membentang dari Padalarang hingga Cileunyi, termasuk melewati Kelurahan Ciumbuleuit sehingga memiliki risiko gempabumi yang lebih tinggi. Penggunaan atap asbes di daerah rawan gempa memiliki potensi bahaya pada kesehatan manusia. Atap berbahan asbes rentan pecah dan melepaskan debu berbahaya saat terjadi gempa. Debu ini mengandung serat asbes yang sangat berbahaya jika terhirup oleh manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan metode klasifikasi OBIA untuk pemetaan dan mengidentifikasi jenis tutupan atap bangunan di Kelurahan Ciumbuleuit sebagai daerah rawan gempabumi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) yang memanfaatkan citra satelit resolusi tinggi (CSRT) Pleiades untuk dilakukan interpretasi citra secara terbimbing. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan metode survei lapangan dan dilakukan perhitungan uji akurasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat 4 klasifikasi penggunaan jenis atap di Kelurahan Ciumbuleuit yaitu asbes dengan luas 21,7 ha, genteng dengan luas 52,2 ha, beton dengan luas 20 ha dan seng dengan luas 8,4 ha dengan hasil akurasi keseluruhan 87%. Pemerintah Kota Bandung telah mensosialisasikan larangan penggunaan asbes sebagai bahan bangunan, dijelaskan dalam pasal 77 bahan bangunan harus berdampak baik pada kesehatan terlebih lagi penggunaan asbes masih digunakan pada daerah rawan gempa KelurahanCiumbuleuit saat ini.

Fenoma Urban Heat Island (UHI) sering dikaitkan dengan perkembangan perkotaan yang berawal dari peningkatan suhu permukaan (Land Suface Temperature). Deteksi UHI terhadap perkembangan perkotaan dilakukan dari tahun 2018 hingga 2023 yang berfokus di Kota Baubau, Sulawesi Tenggara, Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fenomena UHI yang terjadi akibat perkembangan perkotaan seperti perubahan penggunaan lahan dan kerapatan bangunan. Selain itu, sebaran dan intensitas UHI juga di analisis dalam lima tahun terakhir. Metode yang digunakan adalah teknik penginderaan jauh temporal dengan memanfaatkan algoritma LST dari citra Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS dan Landsat 9 OLI-2/TIRS-2. Maximum Likelihood juga digunakan untuk mengklasifikasi penggunaan lahan. Perubahan tutupan lahan area terbangun dan kerapatan bangunan berdampak terhadap fenomena UHI. Tutupan lahan terbangun meningkat hingga 0,53 km2 dengan suhu rata-rata UHI mencapai 2,6oC ditahun 2023, sedangkan setiap peningkatan kepadatan bangunan 1% akan meningkatkan suhu udara rata-rata hingga 0,0847oC. Fenomena distribusi dan intensitas UHI terjadi di daerah pusat perkotaan, dan kenaikan intensitas UHI mencapai 2oC.

Objetivos: Comparar mudanças na dor basal do paciente entre os grupos com e sem uso da realidade virtual, antes e após a punção venosa e avaliar número de tentativas, tempo de punção e satisfação do paciente com a realidade virtual. Metodologia: Estudo prospectivo randomizado intervencionista com pacientes atendidos em pronto atendimento pediátrico com indicação de punção venosa: grupo-intervenção (utilizou realidade virtual no procedimento) e grupo- -controle (protocolo do hospital, sem outro método distrativo/analgésico). Comparou-se escala de Faces antes e após o procedimento, número de tentativas e tempo do procedimento (análise comparativa por Teste de Wilcoxon, valores de p<0,05 foram considerados significativos). Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa do Hospital Pequeno Príncipe (CAAE-55816522.4.0000.0097). Resultados: 44 pacientes participantes, 22 do grupo com a realidade virtual e 22 do grupo-controle. O número de tentativas da punção foi semelhante entre os grupos, com média de tempo de 78,95 segundos x 104,55 segundos, respectivamente (p=0,158). A média da escala de Faces foi semelhante entre os grupos antes do procedimento: 5,18 no grupo com realidade virtual x 4,45 no grupo-controle (p=0,520). Houve redução da escala de Faces após a punção venosa no grupo da realidade virtual (2,55) x 4,27 no grupo-controle (p=0,038). Na análise individual do grupo da realidade virtual, houve redução da dor em 72,7% dos casos, não havendo aumento da pontuação após o procedimento (p<0,01). Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou que a realidade virtual reduziu os níveis de dor medidos pela escala de Faces demonstrando seu benefício na assistência à saúde pediátrica.

Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a mielomeningocele como uma anomalia congênita prevalente e seus aspectos patológicos gerais, além de destacar medidas potencialmente protetivas e a importância da atenção pediátrica multiprofissional. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura do assunto, abrangendo estudos sobre mielomeningocele e espinha bífida. Foram analisados, interpretados e reunidos dados epidemiológicos, aspectos patológicos e medidas de prevenção primária, como o consumo de ácido fólico e vitamina B12. Resultados: A mielomeningocele é a manifestação mais comum de espinha bífida, resultante do não fechamento do tubo neural. Pode ser influenciada por fatores genéticos e ambientais. O consumo de ácido fólico e vitamina B12 tem sido associado à redução do risco de malformações congênitas, incluindo a mielomeningocele. No entanto, essas medidas não eliminam completamente os casos. Conclusão: A prevenção primária da mielomeningocele envolve a conscientização sobre a importância do consumo de ácido fólico. No entanto, é fundamental reconhecer que essas medidas por si só não são suficientes para erradicar totalmente a doença. A atenção multiprofissional desempenha um papel crucial na melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes, através de uma abordagem longitudinal e contínua nas redes de atenção.

A monitorização cerebral contínua por meio da eletroencefalografia de amplitude integrada (aEEG) permite a detecção de crises convulsivas subclínicas e seu tratamento precoce, promovendo a neuroproteção e a prevenção de lesões neurológicas permanentes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o perfil dos recém-nascidos (RN) monitorados à distância com o uso da aEEG com a finalidade de detectar crises convulsivas, em uma maternidade privada da região Nordeste do Brasil.
METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de um estudo clínico observacional, descritivo e transversal. Utilizou-se amostra de conveniência, que incluiu todos os RN sequenciais submetidos à neuromonitorização de fevereiro de 2021 a junho de 2022. Por meio de formulário confeccionado pelos pesquisadores, os dados maternos e clínicos dos RN foram coletados e posteriormente submetidos à análise estatística descritiva por meio do software R Core Team 2022 (Versão 4.2.2). O estudo foi submetido e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética CAAE 55437521.8.0000.5371.
RESULTADOS: Um total de 16 RNs foram incluídos. As indicações mais comuns de monitoramento com aEEG foram a suspeita de crise convulsiva sem tratamento (37,5%) e RNs tratados por crise convulsiva (18,75%). Na evolução, 5 RNs (31,25%) puderam ter o anticonvulsivante suspenso precocemente após monitoramento com aEEG; 5 RNs (31,5%) com suspeita de crise clínica tiveram a hipótese descartada e não iniciaram o uso de anticonvulsivante, e em 18,8% (n=3) dos pacientes observou-se a presença de crises subclínicas ao exame, sendo iniciado o tratamento.
CONCLUSÃO: O aEEG permitiu à equipe médica suspender ou evitar o uso desnecessário de anticonvulsivantes na grande maioria (81,2%) dos RNs investigados e permitiu ainda manter ou iniciar com segurança anticonvulsivantes no restante dos casos (18,8%).

A gastrite eosinofílica é uma patologia rara caracterizada por uma densa infiltração de eosinófilos na mucosa gástrica. Os processos fisiopatológicos sugeridos são multifatoriais e envolvem mecanismos que se situam entre uma resposta mediada por imunoglobulina E e outra do tipo T helper 2 tardia. A apresentação clínica é variável e há forte associação entre distúrbios alérgicos e gastrite eosinofílica. Neste relato descrevemos os achados clínicos e laboratoriais da gastrite eosinofílica em um menino de 9 anos, tratado com prednisolona e esomeprazol em dose dobrada.
