Feminist metaphors: Women and lesbians in Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Authors: Fan Duanduan
Published: June 2024

The Portrait of a Lady on Fire is directed by Celine Sciamma and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2019. The story in this film happens in France in the 18th century when homosexuality was not admitted, and the female social situation is like a commercial good to accomplish their duty for family and wealth. Hence, Celine Sciamma uses some implicit metaphors to release the disadvantaged social status of ladies and to show the ladies' effort to pursue their identity. The metaphors depict the change in the protagonists' inner thoughts. Like the portrait, in the beginning and end of the film, the meaning is different. This paper is based on the scene and plot in The Portrait of a Lady on Fire to analyze how the key metaphors convey the message of feminism and the love between lesbians. By telling the love of lesbians, Celine Sciamma shows that lesbians search for recognition of their homosexual identity and want a homosexual discourse. Feminism is comparatively directly depicted by the camera movement, which gives the power for ladies to gaze at others.

Authors: Pu Tao
Published: June 2024

The five State songs,inherited from the old time are in the Zasagt banner. (They are also called as the religious and State songs). Five songs/hymns of religion and state: 1: Bayanun Tsagaan Altan Delkhii. 2: Yalguusan Erkhet Dalai Lama. 3: Namyan Dalai. 4: Praise of Mount Bayanzurkh. 5: Ungu Saitai.The five State songs, inherited from the old time in the Zasagt banner have been sung untill now.Three of them are long-songs and two of them short songs. The folk songs, passed on for many years are value of the unforgettable cultural heritage. The song”A Praise of mountain Bayanzurkh”has been sung over hundred years and we have analysed its three versions. The reason that the song is not changed for the full hundred years may be connected to the preservation of the specific “soul”, carried out by the worshipped mountain in comparison with the praise song/folk song changed by singers who enriched in their improvisation.
Study on the Actual and Contingent Integration of Traditional Culture into Higher Vocational Education
Authors: Gao Yaqin
Published: June 2024

By analyzing the historical and contemporary implications of Chinese excellent traditional culture, we analyze the actual and contingent research on the integration of traditional culture into higher vocational education from three aspects: cognitive concept, curriculum and teaching mode. In terms of cognitive concept, there exists instrumental rationalism that emphasizes pragmatism over spiritual connotation; in terms of curriculum, there exists the problem of shallow content and insufficient credit hours; in terms of teaching mode, there exists the deficiency of formalism and lack of teachers. Based on this, from the contingent level, it is proposed to adhere to the people-oriented, top-level design of curriculum ideology and politics; to integrate the combination of excellent traditional culture and professional connotation into the curriculum system; to strengthen the construction of teachers, and to innovate the teaching pedagogy in terms of the teaching purpose, content, implementation, methodology, and evaluation, and other measures. Ultimately, the aim is to achieve a balanced and appropriate development of humanistic and professional aspects of vocational education.
Welfare and Self-development of Rural Doctors in China from the Perspective of Social Justice Study
Authors: Zhao Yueshan
Published: June 2024

Since the beginning of China's new medical reform, the government has issued several policies to promote the development of primary medical care. As an important subject of primary medical care, rural doctors have also received extensive attention on their welfare and self-development. At present, rural doctors in China have problems such as low salaries, imperfect pension security, and hindered development, which is not conducive to the balanced development of the medical industry. Making appropriate adjustments and improvements to the policy of rural doctors is conducive to strengthening the construction of rural medical care and reducing the loss of rural medical talents, thereby promoting social equity and enhancing social stability. Based on these, this paper puts forward the following suggestions. On the one hand, the government should ensure the relative fairness of policies, measure the economic level of various localities, formulate reasonable salary, social security, and promotion systems for rural doctors, rationally use policy tools, and increase supervision over policy implementation. On the other hand, it is necessary to give certain policy preferences to rural areas, issue subsidies to rural doctors, and increase capital investment in rural areas, to reduce the gap between urban and rural areas and promote the balanced development of medical services.

Authors: Pu Hongwen , Yi Keyi
Published: June 2024

This paper explored the performance of EfficientNet architecture and MobileNet architecture while processing sign language alphabets using small-scale datasets. EfficientNet and MobileNet are the two most popular architectures in the computer vision industry. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the importance of investigating two model’s performance while a product needs to be developed in a short time. Previously, research has been conducted on two models, mainly focusing on the two model’s performance while handling small datasets related to medicine. However, there remains a research gap for sign language. A combined dataset obtained from two datasets from Kaggle was used to train the model. The models’ performance under 5 epochs, 10 epochs, and 20 epochs were deduced and compared. In general, the performance of MobileNetV2 models is outstanding, especially under 5 epochs, while other MobileNet and EfficientNet models show an intense overfit. Moving forward, the models could be tested on more powerful platforms and more models could be compared.
Numerical Simulation Study of Midas-Based Tunnel Section Structural Forces and Deformations
Authors: Xu Junwei
Published: June 2024

The burial depth significantly influences the structural forces and deformations of tunnel sections, playing a crucial role in the safe operation of tunnels. This study focuses on the structural design and deformation analysis in underground tunnel engineering. Utilizing Midas modeling techniques, tunnel models were designed for experimentation to comprehensively explore the impact of tunnel burial depth and key design parameters on structural deformations and safety.(1) The research reveals that design parameters such as tunnel diameter are the dominant factors affecting deformation, lining pressure, and structural displacement.(2) With an increase in tunnel diameter, substantial deformation occurs, and the lining pressure distribution evolves from a "fan-shaped" pattern to a "peach-shaped" pattern. The bottom structure transitions from uplift to slight settlement. (3) The study results provide a rational range of parameter values for tunnel design. Simulation outcomes highlight areas with higher deformation, offering insights for proposing corresponding remedial measures.

Authors: Fu Zhihang , Jia Zhengkai
Published: June 2024

In the face of growing global ocean exploration, the research focuses on overcoming the challenges of deep-sea navigation and the unpredictability of ocean currents to improve submarine pathway planning and trajectory prediction. This study proposes a method for improving submarine navigation and trajectory prediction through digital seabed mapping of the Ionian Sea and ocean current simulation. Using NCEI data, it transforms latitude and longitude into a geographic model, bypassing seawater variables like salinity and temperature. The approach combines sine functions and Gaussian noise to mimic ocean currents' natural variability, enhancing position predictions. Simplifying the submarine as a sphere, it integrates ocean currents into motion analysis and employs MATLAB for simulation, including scenarios of contact loss and breakup. Recognizing model limitations, it recommends using sensors on submarines for real-time data collection, aiming to refine navigational accuracy amidst environmental uncertainties.

Research on Binary Black Hole Systems by Analysis of Gravitational Waves
Authors: Wang Yanhan
Published: June 2024

The mass ratio, effective spin, and chirp mass are three important properties to describe the binary systems of black holes. The gravitational wave sources can be a breakthrough in the investigation of black holes. The formation of black holes is a significant problem to solve as the electromagnetic waves (light) cannot escape from the black hole, and the gravitational waves can be emitted when the binary systems of black holes or neutron stars merge. Based on the detection of gravitational waves, the process of the formation of black holes can be traced and studied in the binary black holes and primordial black holes formed in the early universe. The mass ratio distribution is plotted to investigate the difference between the binary black hole and neutron star black hole and the mass ratio which makes it easier for the merger of the black holes to happen. The investigation of the effective spin helps classify the model of the formation of black holes as there are five models of the black hole. The statistical model can be tested with the chosen data, and the cumulative standard Gaussian distribution is used in this paper. The result states that the model is not suitable for the chosen data and another statistical model should be introduced to analyse the effective spin. These parameters are all important for determining the stage and formation process of the binary systems.

Matrix inequalities play a vital role in the study of linear algebra and information theory. In this paper, the author investigates the condition when a proven matrix inequality  is saturated, and Pi’s are linearly independent matrices of the same size, and Si’s are also linearly independent matrices of the same size. The author constructs the conditions when Pi is a column vector or a 2 2 matrix, and Si is an arbitrary square matrix. The author finds a very potential result when investigating the column situation. The author also gets massive result in the 2 2 situation. In particular, the inequality is not saturated when Pi is a 2 2 matrix and K=2 or 3 and it could be saturated under the situation when K=4 if only if two certain matrices can enable the product of  and  form two established matrices. At the end of the essay, the author tries some more complex cases such as 2 3 matrices Pi when K=2.

Evaluating the Changes in Vietnam’s Influence on Laos’ Diplomatic Attitude Towards China Under BRI Using GDELT
Authors: Hu Yihan
Published: June 2024

This article evaluates the extent to which Laos’ diplomatic preferences towards China have been influenced by Vietnam's attitudes towards China over the ten years (2014-2023) since the Belt and Road Initiative (hereafter BRI) was implemented. As a small state in the Southeast Asian region, the Lao People's Democratic Republic’s (hereafter Laos) diplomatic choices are influenced by both extra-regional powers and sub-regional power structures. Vietnam, as a sub-regional power, has successfully influenced Laos’ diplomatic policy towards China several times in the past. China’s BRI provides Laos with more flexibility in its diplomatic choices between China and Vietnam. This paper tests the above hypotheses based on the GDELT database. It is assessed that since the BRI was proposed, the Laos’ diplomatic attitude towards China has maintained a rising trend in a spiral. Laos has gradually become more independent in its diplomatic choices, while Vietnam’s influence over it has weakened modestly. Therefore, it can be considered that Vietnam’s attitude towards China does not currently pose a sufficient threat to Laos’ diplomatic attitude towards China.

Authors: Song Boxin
Published: June 2024

Metallic oxide neurons are a potential candidate for future applications in neuroscience and neuroscience, where they can be used as a model for simulating synaptic functions in biology. This paper mainly introduces two kinds of oxide-based memristors: memristor and neural transistor, as well as briefly discuss their integration. Because of the two devices’ simple structure, similar to synaptic structure, high efficiency, low power consumption, high-density integration, compatibility with CMOS process conditions, and continuous control of conductance, it is considered to be the first choice for brain-like computing hardware. And the memristor can realize the integration of computing and storage functions in a single device. However, some problems and challenges still exist in memristor application. In the process of the device, there is a problem of insufficient miniaturization, because of the influence of leakage current, which limits the integration of the array and increases the operation energy consumption. In conclusion, despite their significant barriers before becoming commercially viable, their promising future is certain.
Investigating Electronic Incident Reporting Systems and Its Role Within Healthcare to Improve Patient Safety: An Integrative Literature Review
Authors: Augustine Lyndon Garvin
Published: June 2024

Incident reporting is a welcomed practice in industries such as aviation for improving safety. This practice is now welcomed in healthcare in many countries (Vincent, 2010). For instance, In the UK, incident reporting is a component of individual hospital risk governance processes and a key requirement for National Health Service (NHS) Organizations (Rooksby et al., 2007). In spite of this, widespread implementation of incident reporting is still not clear even though reporting has resulted in improvements to safety. Vincent et al. (2008) cited that recent studies of incident reporting suggest that its role in managing safety has been over emphasized and there should be less emphasis on counting incidents and more emphasis on analyzing the effectiveness of incidents and institutional learning (Braithwaite et al., 2011). Most studies of incident reporting have focused on factors, such as staff willingness to report incidents, barriers to incident reporting, and the culture surrounding reporting. However, few studies have examined the effectiveness of electronic incident reporting systems in improving safety, and there is little evidence regarding how the technology contributes to safety (Anderson et al., 2013). For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate electronic incident reporting systems and its role within healthcare to improve patient safety. By focusing on this, the researcher was successful in highlighting a series of behaviors and perceptions around electronic incident reporting. Equally important, the researcher provided several themes that has been known to both inhibit and promote confidence within this technology offering. Thereafter, the researcher then suggested strategies for healthcare leaders to consider when adopting as a means to help bridge the gap between healthcare workers and electronic incident reporting systems.

O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito de estratégias de rebaixamento (ER) do pasto de Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu (capim-marandu) antes do diferimento sobre a estrutura do pasto diferido e o desempenho de ovinos no inverno. As três ER avaliadas foram: 1) manutenção do capim com 15 cm durante cinco meses antes do início do diferimento (15 cm); 2) manutenção do capim-marandu com 25 cm durante cinco meses antes do início do diferimento, quando o pasto foi rebaixado para 15 cm (25/15 cm); e 3) manutenção do capim com 35 cm, durante cinco meses antes do início do diferimento, quando o pasto foi rebaixado para 18 cm (35/18 cm). Foram utilizadas 18 ovelhas adultas mestiças (Dorper x Santa Inês), alocadas em pares em nove piquetes. As avaliações nos animais e nos pastos foram realizadas a cada 45 dias durante o período de utilização dos pastos diferidos, com mensurações no início (primeira semana), meio (45º dia) e final (90º dia) do período de pastejo. Foram mensurados o GMD, consumo e a composição química de amostras de forragem colhidas por pastejo simulado. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com medidas repetidas no tempo. Os pastos mantidos a 15 cm apresentaram maior percentagem de colmo vivo e menor de colmo morto (P<0,10). A massa de forragem, a percentagem de folha viva, o consumo e a digestibilidade dos nutrientes pelos ovinos não foram afetados pelas ER (P>0,10). Entretanto, o consumo de matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB) e a digestibilidade da FDN foram menores no meio em comparação ao início e final do período de pastejo (P<0,10). O tempo em pastejo foi menor e a eficiência de pastejo dos ovinos foi maior no pasto 35/18 cm do que nos 15 e 25/15 cm (P<0,10). O desempenho animal não foi influenciado pelas ER (P>0,10), mas diminuiu do início para o final do período de pastejo. O rebaixamento abrupto do capim-marandu de 35 para 18 cm antes do diferimento resultou em maior eficiência de pastejo pelos ovinos, caracterizando ambiente pastoril adequado para o pastejo no inverno.

Staphylococcus aureus is the main etiological agent of bovine mastitis worldwide and knowledge about its diversity and virulence factors is vital in controlling infections caused by this pathogen. The present study aimed to perform molecular characterization of a population of S. aureus (n=153 strains isolated from 1994 to 2014 in seven Brazilian states) by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and evaluate their virulence profiles via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PFGE identified 93 pulsotypes, with the isolates organized into 26 clusters and 20 unique pulsotypes. Predominant pulsotypes were observed, with variations according to the years of isolation and geographic origin of the isolates. Based on the PCR results for the genes encoding agglutination factors (ClfA and ClfB), binding proteins (fibronectin binding protein - FnBPA, elastin binding protein - Ebps, collagen binding protein - Cna), and toxins (Hla, Hlb and Luk-ED), 40 virulence profiles were detected. The frequency of virulence genes ranged from 58 to 98% (clfA:84.3%; clfB and hlb both 81%; hla:71.2%; fnBA:82.3%; Can:94.7%; ebps:58%; and lukED:98%). The existence of prevalent genotypes in some of the Brazilian states and the time period studied suggests that these genotypes are better adapted, with favorable characteristics in host/pathogen relationships. Genes of proven importance for S. aureus pathogenesis in bovine mastitis were widely distributed in genetically divergent populations, suggesting that most of these genes may be interesting candidates in the development of vaccines to control bovine mastitis in Brazil.

The use of crop residue silages is a viable alternative for producers to reduce feed costs. The present study was developed with the objective of investigating the inclusion of pineapple silage in replacement of sorghum silage in the diet of lactating cows regarding feed intake, production, and quality of milk. Eight crossbred (Holstein × Gir) cows with an average weight of 555±30 kg and an average milk yield of 12.50±3.25 kg/day, between 60 and 90 days in milk, were distributed into two simultaneous 4 × 4 Latin squares, at one animal per experimental unit. Silage of pineapple crop residue (PS) using plants after the harvest of the fruits was included in the roughage portion of the diet at increasing levels, with simultaneous and proportional removal of sorghum silage (SS) from the diets. The studied treatments thus consisted of the roughage portion containing: 1- 0% PS and 100% SS (100SS); 2- 34% PS and 66% SS (34PS66SS); 3- 67% PS and 33% SS (67PS33SS); 4- 100% PS and 0% SS (100PS). The diets were supplied twice daily, allowing 5% leftovers in relation to the quantity offered. The amounts of feed supplied, and orts of each animal were weighed for a subsequent determination of intake. The experiment was divided into four 21-day sub-periods, the first 14 days of which were used as an adaptation to the diet, while the others served for data collection. The milk was weighed from the 15th to the 19th day of each experimental period, and milk samples were collected  on the last day of each period. Milk samples were sent to the laboratory, where they were analyzed. Dry matter, mineral matter, and lignin concentrations in the diet did not vary (P>0.05) as a function of PS inclusion in the roughage portion, while protein content, fiber content, and fat content levels were influenced. No effect of PS inclusion was observed (P>0.05) on the intakes of dry matter, neutral detergent fiber, mineral material, or lignin. However, PS inclusion prompted (P<0.05) a linear increase in the intakes of protein and total fat. The inclusion of pineapple plant silage in the roughage part of the diet had a positive effect (P<0.05) on milk yield, 4% fat-corrected milk yield, and on the milk fat and total solids contents. Milk production, as well as fat and total solids content, increased moderately with inclusion of pineapple plant silages in the roughage portion of the diet. Therefore, pineapple silage can replace sorghum silage in the roughage part of diets for lactating crossbred cows.

Kestämätön elämäntapa ja kulutus on yksi keskeisistä luontokadon ajureista. Kuluttaja voi vaikuttaa luontokadon ehkäisemiseen sekä kulutusvalintojensa että kansalaistoiminnan kautta. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, miten kuluttajan riskikäsitys sekä havainto kuluttajien toiminnan vaikuttavuudesta vaikuttavat biodiversiteettimyönteiseen kulutuskäyttäytymiseen. Empiirinen tutkimus perustuu vuonna 2022 kerätylle kyselyaineistolle (N=1000), jonka vastaajat ovat 18-75 -vuotiaita suomalaisia. Aineisto analysoitiin rakenneyhtälömallinnuksen avulla (AMOS 28). Tuloksemme osoittavat, että riskikäsitys ennustaa biodiversiteettimyönteisen kuluttajakäyttäytymisen eri muotoja eli ympäristökansalaisuutta, kestävän kulutuksen käytänteitä ja ruokavalintaa. Yhteys ei kuitenkaan ole suora, vaan sitä välittää havainto kuluttajien toiminnan vaikuttavuudesta. Tulostemme perusteella kuluttajille kannattaa selkeämmin ja konkreettisemmin viestiä siitä, millaiset vaikutusmahdollisuudet kuluttajilla on luontokadon ehkäisemisessä kestävien kulutusvalintojen, ruokavalintojen ja etenkin kansalaisosallistumisen kautta.

Published: June 2024

Le but de cette étude est d’évaluer la pertinence de l’application du dispositif du bilan de compétences dans un pays où il n’est pas pratiqué, et où l’environnement professionnel et culturel diffère du modèle occidental. Le bilan de compétences, issu des échanges entre deux acteurs que sont le conseiller bilan et le salarié, constitue un outil permettant d’identifier et de formuler clairement les ressources dont le bénéficiaire dispose, et de valoriser ses compétences afin de les exploiter pleinement. Nous avons fait une étude longitudinale en deux temps avec cinq mois et demi d’intervalle, T1 avant et T2 après le bilan, avec deux groupes de salariés : un groupe expérimental qui a fait le bilan (n=32), et un groupe contrôle (n=30). Les résultats nous révèlent à l’issue des tests qu’il y a un renforcement du niveau d’estime de soi passant par une valorisation de l’image de soi, une meilleure connaissance de soi et une amélioration de la gestion du stress. Cette étude tend vers la perspective d’étendre le dispositif à l’ensemble de l’entreprise.
William James et la fabulation philosophique
Authors: Drumm Thierry
Published: June 2024

Si beaucoup de philosophes ont pensé que « les choses racontent une histoire », d’autres non moins nombreux se sont efforcés d’écarter de la philosophie toute narration, reléguée à l’irrationalité supposée du mythe. William James, mais aussi Joseph L. Mankiewicz dans La Comtesse aux pieds nus (The Barefoot Contessa, 1954), se distinguent par l’expérimentation d’une autre voie : l’univers raconte une histoire, mais il s’agit d’une « histoire embrouillée ». Le philosophe Alexander Bain ayant précédemment défini la « croyance » comme la disposition à agir sur la foi d’une idée, il n’y a pas d’idée (ou de concept) qui ne se présente comme un scénario nous appelant puissamment à en être les acteurs. Le conteur n’est alors rien moins que le praticien d’un art dont il se pourrait que notre avenir dépende.

Le présent article vise à définir et à expliquer les mécanismes cognitifs qui sont à la base de la création des énoncés humoristiques. En s’appuyant sur un plus grand corpus d’exemples, cette étude montre une approche cognitive et pragmatique qui aide à percevoir les mécanismes linguistiques qui se trouvent au cœur de l’analyse de l’humour. On explique, à l’aide des théories linguistiques plus classiques (telles que le principe de la coopération développé par Grice, la Théorie de la Pertinence de Sperber et Wilson, et celle des niveaux de Clark), mais aussi à l’aide des théories plus récentes (l’opposition des cadres de Raskin) comment les énoncés humoristiques sont créés et comment ils sont interprétés. Plus particulièrement, nos résultats s’appuient sur un corpus de 800 exemples tirés de deux séries américaines contemporaines : Dr. House et The Big Bang Theory.

Introduction. Le cancer provoque des réactions cognitives, émotionnelles et comportementales chez le patient, mais qu’en est-il pour son conjoint ? Objectif. Cette étude cherche à décrire, chez les conjoints en bonne santé physique, leur rôle de proche aidant principal, leurs besoins psychosociaux et leur détresse émotionnelle. Méthodologie. Les participants ont été recrutés, avec l’accord préalable du patient, au sein de quatre hôpitaux liégeois (Belgique). Les évaluations complétées sont les suivantes : les données sociodémographiques, l’Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, le Caregiver Reaction Assessment, le Perception of Inequity, le Psychosocial Needs Inventory. Résultats. Trente-sept conjoints (23 hommes, 14 femmes) ont participé à l’étude. Les principaux scores obtenus mettent en évidence une bonne estime de soi en tant que proche aidant principal et un niveau élevé d’anxiété. Les besoins psychosociaux ressentis concernent surtout les interactions avec les professionnels de la santé, les informations et le soutien.

Notre recherche en psychologie sociale du travail porte sur les accidents d’expositions au sang (AES). Les AES sont des accidents liés aux piqures, coupures et projections biologiques, que les infirmiers encourent lors des pratiques de soins (CARRICABURU, LHUILIER et MERLE, 2008) Ces risques sont flagrants à l’hôpital (en France, 12778 cas d’AES de 2003 à 2009). Bien qu’informés de ces risques, les infirmiers ne respectent pas souvent les règles de sécurité. Le non-respect des règles de sécurité serait à l’origine des AES. Notre recherche se déroule au Gabon.
(IM)POSSIBILIDADE DO RECONHECIMENTO JURÍDICO DAS FILIAÇÕES SOCIOAFETIVAS POST MORTEM NO DIREITO BRASILEIRO SOB VIÉS PATRIMONIAL

Published: June 2024

O Direito de família é uma das ramificações do direito que vem constantemente sofrendo alterações em seus conceitos, conforme abordado no Poder Judiciário brasileiro e na sociedade, principalmente na formação da família. O afeto, outrora não considerado como fator primordial para estabelecimento das relações familiares, atualmente possui força de princípio, o qual busca garantir a dignidade da pessoa humana. Neste aspecto, o presente trabalho pretende apresentar um estudo sobre o reconhecimento de filiações socioafetivas post mortem no Brasil e as dificuldades encontradas pelo judiciário, para que, o afeto não seja banalizado nos vínculos familiares e o interesse patrimonial se torne a causa na busca do judiciário. É necessário compreender que, o reconhecimento post mortem deve ser munido da vontade clara e inequívoca do de cujus e o ônus da prova compete a parte interessada. Com a análise legislativa, da jurisprudência e doutrina pátria, nota-se que o Estado falha ao ponto que não utiliza de medidas e recursos para que essas relações sejam formalizadas ainda em vida, oportunizando às famílias que seus vínculos estejam regidos formalmente e seus direitos garantidos.

O estudo é motivado pela necessidade crescente de incorporar novas tecnologias no ambiente educacional, notadamente em disciplinas que podem se beneficiar grandemente da interatividade e riqueza visual proporcionada pelas ferramentas digitais. Nesse contexto, a Geografia, com sua intrínseca relação com o espaço e os fenômenos naturais e sociais, surge como uma disciplina especialmente propícia para essa integração. A pesquisa busca responder à pergunta: "Como o uso de plataformas digitais gratuitas pode impactar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Geografia no Ensino Médio?". Para isto, será realizada uma análise crítica das principais plataformas digitais gratuitas disponíveis atualmente para o ensino de Geografia, bem como um estudo empírico sobre a eficácia desses recursos em promover a compreensão dos conceitos geográficos pelos alunos. O trabalho justifica-se pela relevância do tema na contemporaneidade, tendo em vista a crescente digitalização dos processos educacionais. Além disso, espera-se que os resultados obtidos possam contribuir para melhor orientar professores e gestores educacionais na seleção e uso desses recursos didáticos digitais. A metodologia do estudo baseia-se na revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, além da análise de dados primários obtidos por meio de questionários aplicados a professores e alunos, visando avaliar a percepção destes quanto ao uso das plataformas digitais no ensino de Geografia. A análise dos dados será realizada por meio de estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais.

Introduction: Frailty is a good predictor of adverse outcomes among older patients, especially those who have undergone surgery. The prevalence of frailty among kidney transplant candidates is higher than the general population. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of frailty on post-transplant adverse outcomes among kidney recipients.
Methods: A systematic review was performed for relevant studies until May 20, 2022, using four databases (Embase, Medline, Cochrane, and PsycINFO) for prospective design studies (PROSPERP: CRD42022331022). Random-effect meta-analysis modeling was undertaken in RevMan 5.3 to estimate the predicting value of frailty on adverse outcomes after kidney transplant.
Results: This systematic review included 14 studies, eight of which were suitable for meta-analysis. Frailty increased the risk of mortality (pooled hazard ratio [HR] 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.48–2.64), surgical complications (risk ratio [RR] 2.14, 95% CI 1.01–4.54), death-censored graft failure (DCGF) (pooled HR 3.31, 95% CI 1.27–8.62), length of stay (LOS) (pooled RR 1.59, 95% CI 1.05–2.39), length of stay ≥2 weeks (pooled odds ratio [OR] 1.72, 95% CI 1.26–2.35). and other common adverse outcomes among kidney transplant recipients.
Conclusions: Frailty is associated with adverse outcomes after kidney transplant. This systematic review suggests the importance of assessing frailty among kidney transplant candidates prior to transplantation. Further research focusing on pretransplant assessment combined with frailty is warranted to improve kidney transplant management.

Introduction: We aimed to compare the detection rate of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant (cs)PCa by magnetic resonance imaging-guided targeted biopsy (MTBx) alone and MTBx plus systematic biopsy (SBx) using an outpatient transperineal (TP) approach under local anesthesia.
Methods: A retrospective study of patients who underwent outpatient TP prostate biopsy under local anesthesia at our tertiary institution between 2019 and 2022 was performed. To compare the proportions of PCa and csPCa in both pathways, McNemar's tests were used. Multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to determine the predictors of csPCa.
Results: Of 255 men included, 177 (69%) underwent MTBx alone. MTBx had similar detection rate for PCa (56%) and csPCa (47%) compared to the combination of MTBx and SBx (PCa, 61%; csPCa, 49%; p=0.1 and p=0.3, respectively). MTBx had lower median number of biopsy cores compared to the combination of MTBx and SBx (6 vs. 11, p<0.001). At multivariable logistic regression analysis, age (odds ratio [OR] 1.08 [1.04–1.13], p<0.001), prior negative biopsy (OR 0.19 [0.09–0.44], p<0.001), prostate-specific antigen density cutoff ≥ 0.15 (OR 3.17 [1.67–6.01], p<0.001), and prostate imaging reporting and data system ≥4 (OR 12.2 [4.21–35.6], p<0.001) were independent predictors of csPCa.
Conclusions: MTBx showed similar diagnostic performance to the combination of MTBx and SBx in patients undergoing outpatient TP prostate biopsy. Future studies are needed to evaluate the role of MTBx in avoiding unnecessary biopsies.
