ANÁLISE DOS PRINCIPAIS DESAFIOS E/OU DIFICULDADES ENCONTRADAS EM RELAÇÃO À EDUCAÇÃO REMOTA E/OU INCLUSÃO DA TECNOLOGIA NO COTIDIANO PROFISSIONAL
Authors: Brito Maria Eliana Marques de , Melo Erika Vanessa Souto de , Santos Maria Pricila Miranda dos
Published: July 2024

A tecnologia digital no ensino brasileiro era uma realidade presente de forma mais assídua nas instituições de ensino superior EAD, porém, no período em que a pandemia de Covid-19 assolava a humanidade, ocasionando mortes sem precedentes, o isolamento e distanciamento social apareceram como uma alternativa segura contra o contágio, naquele momento, sem conhecimento da vacina para o enfrentamento do vírus. As escolas foram orientadas a seguir o ano letivo por meio do ensino remoto, porém, muitas dificuldades surgiram, professores sem habilidade tecnológica, ausência de recursos para aquisição dos dispositivos necessários para a transmissão e gravação das aulas, falta de acesso à internet de qualidade e alunos em condição de vulnerabilidade social, também, sem aparelhos para se conectar as plataformas online para assistir às aulas. Esse cenário, provocou reflexões sobre a formação docentes e o uso das tecnologias digitais, uma vez que, essa ferramenta já fazia parte da vida cotidiana das pessoas, ou seja, de professores e alunos, antes da pandemia; inúmeras plataformas eram e são acessadas diariamente com finalidades distintas. O que o período pandêmico revelou foi uma disparidade digital entre os menos favorecidos e os que possuíam acesso aos dispositivos digitais. Além de asseverar a necessidade de os professores buscarem formação continuada para aprender e/ou aprimorar habilidades e competências para utilizar as tecnologias digitais em sala de aula. A metodologia empregada foi uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica sistemática de abordagem qualitativa/quantitativa, com consulta nas bases de dados do Scielo, Google Acadêmico e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), usando os descritores: “ensino remoto”; “pandemia de covid-19”, “educação à distância”; “legislação”; “professores atuando na pandemia” e “tecnologia no ensino”. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário com quinze perguntas abertas, enviado via aplicativo WhatsApp para duas professores. Obtendo como resultado, certa medida de resistência de alguns professores que insistem em continuar com o modelo convencional de ensino, porém, o contexto social impõe essas mudanças, pois os alunos adentram a escola trazendo conhecimentos adquiridos no núcleo familiar e na comunidade, sendo importante trabalhar esse conhecimento e adicioná-lo ao novo adquirido por meio de descobertas na escola e a tecnologia digital é uma aliada nesse processo.
COTAS RACIAIS PARA AS UNIVERSIDADES: UM ABORDAGEM CRÍTICA E SEUS DESAFIOS ATUAIS

Published: July 2024

As cotas raciais são um tema bastante discutido quando se trata de reparação histórica, de oportunidades e igualdade para todos, em vários países, inclusive o Brasil. No entanto, estamos presenciando sua aplicação que tem sido alvo de discussão sobre aqueles que estão sendo atendidos por essa Lei de Cotas. Quero apresentar nesse artigo pontos adversos e também pontos relevantes na aplicação da lei, apresentando conteúdos e comentários daqueles que apoiam e daqueles de divergem das ideias aplicadas nessa lei. Como disse, ela veio em forma de lei para poder sanar uma dificuldade que muitas pessoas têm de ingressar em uma universidade pelos meios normais, e aqui quero citar os vestibulares, que muitas vezes são injustos pelo fato de trazerem conteúdos que não são abordados na rede de ensino público de forma que possa preparar bem àqueles que almejam ingressar na universidade e assim terem as mesmas oportunidades dadas aos que estudam em escolas privadas, que têm em seu curriculum educacional um portfólio amplo que ajuda e prepara bem para esse ingresso e com isso obtêm vantagens sobre os demais que tiveram uma formação inferior. Isso sem falar naqueles que não tiveram nem uma mínima condição de estudos, que agora estão incluídos nessa lei, como os indígenas.

A map of long-term care for people with dementia at the level of local communities
Authors: Mali Jana
Published: July 2024

Long-term care for people with dementia has been studied using the Rapid Assessment of Needs and Services method, which has been used to map long-term care needs in order to stimulate the development of care that effectively meets the needs of people with dementia. In this paper, we present the results of three focus groups with key stakeholders in long-term care for people with dementia in three selected communities, involving 29 people from a variety of organisations: social work centres, homes for the older people, health centres, general and psychiatric hospitals, municipalities and non-governmental organizations. Qualitative analysis of the empirical material showed that the following problems are prevalent in the communities: (i) acute and unmet needs of informal caregivers, (ii) a multi-tiered system of long-term care that puts people in an unequal position, (iii) a lack of community-based long-term care, and inadequate responses to the needs of people with dementia. Even in communities where there are various forms of support, both institutional and community-based, available across all service sectors, long-term care for people with dementia is based on informal care. We propose the development of a national strategy for family caregivers, with special attention to informal caregivers of people with dementia. The support offered by existing facilities is inadequate, poorly accessible, or nonexistent. Homes for older people are overcrowded, and people with dementia wait months or years to be admitted to a home. Home-based assistance is not evenly distributed across communities, and its scale (20 hours per week) in particular is insufficient to meet the needs of people with dementia. There is a lack of alternative forms of care that enable people with dementia to remain in their own home environment for as long as possible, for example in the form of personal assistance. We suggest that the development of long-term care for people with dementia should be based on the proposed research methodology.
The Southern Ocean as the climate's freight train – driving ongoing global warming under zero-emission scenarios with ACCESS-ESM1.5
Authors: Chamberlain Matthew A. , Ziehn Tilo , Law Rachel M.
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Earth system model experiments presented here explore how the centennial response in the Southern Ocean can drive ongoing global warming even with zero CO2 emissions and declining atmospheric CO2 concentrations. These projections were simulated by the earth system model version of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS-ESM1.5) and motivated by the Zero Emissions Commitment Model Intercomparison Project (ZECMIP); ACCESS-ESM1.5 simulated ongoing warming in the ZECMIP experiment that switched or branched to zero emissions after 2000 PgC had been emitted. New experiments presented here each simulated 300 years and included intermediate branch points. In each experiment that branched after emitting more than 1000 PgC, the global climate continues to warm. For the experiment that branched after 2000 PgC, or after 3.5 °C of warming from a preindustrial climate, there is 0.37 ± 0.08 °C of extra warming after 50 years of zero emissions, which increases to 0.83 ± 0.08 °C after 200 years. All branches show ongoing Southern Ocean warming. The circulation of the Southern Ocean is modified early in the warming climate, which contributes to changes in the distribution of both physical and biogeochemical subsurface ocean tracers, such as ongoing warming at intermediate depths and a reduction in deep oxygen south of 60° S. A simple slab model emulates the global temperatures of the ACCESS-ESM1.5 experiments demonstrating the response here is primarily due to the slow response of the ocean and the Southern Ocean in particular. Centennial global warming persists when the slab model is forced with CO2 diagnosed from late-branching experiments with other ZECMIP models, confirming the dominant role of ocean physics at these timescales. However, decadal responses changed due to the larger drawdown of CO2 from other models. Slow ongoing warming in the Southern Ocean can be found in ZEC scenarios of most models, though the amplitude and global influence varies.

Abstract. Reconstructing the spatio-temporal dynamics of glaciations and permafrost largely relies on surface deposits, and is therefore a challenge for every glacial older than the last due to erosion. Consequently, glaciations and permafrost remain poorly constrained worldwide before c. 30 ka. Since speleothems (carbonate cave deposits) form from drip water and generally indicate the absence of an ice sheet and permafrost, we evaluate how speleothem growth phases defined by U-series dates align with past glacial-interglacial cycles. Further, we make the first systematic comparison of the spatial distribution of speleothem dates with independent reconstructions of the history of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) to test how well geomorphologic ice reconstructions are replicated in the cave record. The frequency distribution of 1,020 U-series dates based on three different dating methods between 300 and 5 ka shows statistically significant periods of speleothem growth during the last interglacial and several interstadials during the last glacial. A pronounced decline in speleothem growth coincides with the Last Glacial Maximum, before broad reactivation during deglaciation and into the Holocene. Spatio-temporal patterns in speleothem growth between 31 and 15 ka agree well with the surface-deposit-based reconstruction of the last BIIS. In data-rich regions, such as northern England, ice dynamics are well-replicated in the cave record, which provide additional evidence about the spatio-temporal distribution of permafrost dynamics. Beyond the Last Glacial Maximum, the distribution of speleothem dates across the British Isles offers the opportunity to improve chronological constraints on past ice sheet variability, with evidence for a highly dynamic Scottish ice sheet during the last glacial. The results provide independent evidence of ice distribution complementary to studies of surface geomorphology and geology, and the potential to extend reconstructions into permafrost and earlier glacial cycles. Whilst undersampling is currently the main limitation for speleothem-based ice and permafrost reconstruction even in relatively well-sampled parts of the British Isles, we show that speleothem dates obtained using modern mass spectrometry techniques reveal a higher spatio-temporal resolution of glacial-interglacial cycles and glacial extent than previously possible. Further study of leads and lags in speleothem growth compared to surface deposition may provide new insights into landscape-scale dynamics during ice sheet growth and retreat.
COPYRIGHT PROTECTION ON WORKS GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Published: July 2024

Nowadays people’s lives are hugely affected by artificial intelligence (AI). For exam-ple, machines text quickly, develop software, and create different types of arts. One may notice that many of the sport and business news which are accessible on the net are written by machines. According to the current legal framework of many states, AI-generated works are generally viewed as a simple tool. However, with the develop-ment of advanced AI machines, this perspective has undergone a significant shift. The emergence of AI has hugely posed challenges to intellectual property law, in par-ticular copyright. In copyright sphere, AI-generated machines have risen some legal disputes whether AI can be the author of creative works, how AI works need to be protected or who owns the rights for such works. The paper aims to address the aforementioned questions and to clarify copyright issues arising from AI machines. The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics of legal regulations govern-ing copyrighted works produced by AI machines in developed countries and subse-quently offer relevant recommendations to improve national (Kazakh) copyright law concerning AI-generated machines. Based on foreign practice, the author argues that when it comes to creative works generated by computer machines, the individual who has made the necessary arrangements for the creation of such works should be con-sidered the author.

Published: July 2024

The proposed scientific article comprehensively examines the legal analysis of the interaction of the concept of law and power, which provides for a clear application of current legislation in modern society. The need for law has a higher legal purpose fixed and secured by positive legal qualities and legal elements of law, creating a space for free behavior of all participants in public relations in accordance with the principles of freedom, humanism, spiritual wealth and material interests of man and citizen, currently being studied taking into account world legal practice. Currently, the role of law in the system of legal regulation in society represents the role of the state and law in various legal forms, implemented through law, in its imperative power activities. This legal interpretation is due to the influence and development of the legal system of norms-definitions as a legal model of the behavior of subjective rights in modern society, where the implementation of law is defined as the implementation of legal regulations, this is an improved protection of human rights under the current Constitution of modern countries, from the point of view of legal science. The need to study the interaction of the concepts of law and power as a single legal mechanism, their legal norms is widely used in modern society and is contained in legal institutions to build a rule of law state in accordance with the legislative system and legal principles, where it is provided with the positive law necessary for the legal institutions of society. When studying the concept and operation of the legal mechanism applied by state authorities in legal practice, the law itself specifically determines the needs of modern society in the law itself, and vice versa, the entry of legal institutions into the sphere of state power is necessary to maintain imperative principles in the field of law, using the broad powers of law, as a category of law in modern society.

The authors examined the issues of ensuring the rights and interests of individuals in the field of criminal proceedings both in the Republic of Kazakhstan and in other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (hereinafter referred to as the CIS). The protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms is a universal principle, since these values are subject to priority protection in all spheres of public and state life. Man, his rights and freedoms occupy a central place and dominate over all other humanitarian values. The protection of human rights and freedoms acquires particular socio-political importance in the field of criminal proceedings, that is, where law enforcement agencies have the capabilities of state coercion, allowing them to invade the sphere of personal interests and significantly limit them. The legal policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has already solved a number of important tasks to improve criminal procedural legislation. Since 2015, a new Code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter referred to as the Code of Criminal Procedure) has been in force, which has introduced many innovations to simplify, speed up, reduce investigative and judicial procedures, streamline and differentiate the procedural powers of persons conducting criminal proceedings, strengthen the status of the defense party, as well as ensure the rights and legitimate interests of all persons participating in criminal proceedings. In addition, new legal institutions, proceedings and norms have been introduced that bring the criminal process closer to successfully tested models for the investigation of criminal offenses and the administration of justice. Along with this, most legislative decisions, when tested by law enforcement practice, showed their weak (insufficient) effectiveness, inconsistency with the established provisions of the theory of criminal procedure law, the absence in law enforcement practice and in the theory of criminal proceedings of unified conceptual approaches to the volume, form, mechanisms and the limits of implementation of the constitutional principle of competition in regulating various legal relations in the area under consideration.

The research aims to collect and analyze data on hashtags used by MuseumWeek in
Online Social Network Services. The research has a qualitative-quantitative approach, with a
descriptive objective and a methodological procedure anchored in a case study with an
altimetric approach using the descriptive-statistical analysis application. The research universe
is the MuseumWeek event in Online Social Network Services, with a delimited sample of
publications and hashtags used in 2022 and 2023 on X (formerly Twitter). The results showed
an increase in publications about the event despite signals that the increase was the impact of a
few institutions in the sample. There was a balanced distribution in the use of hashtags for 2022
and a greater incidence of use of the hashtags #MeioAmbienteMW and #Web3MW for 2023.
Also, we observed that the hashtags published on the first day of each year (#InovacaoMW -
2022 and #MeioAmbienteMW – 2023) have greater engagement than those broadcast on other
days. We concluded that Online Social Network Services and MuseumWeek are valuable
components in contemporary scientific dissemination. However, there is a requirement for
constant data collection to form a historical series, as Online Social Network Services do not
allow data collection from previous years.

Perceived Effect of Fuel Price Hike on Farming Households in Imo State
Authors: Juochi P. Okoroh
Published: July 2024

The study assessed the perceived effect of fuel price hike among farming households in Imo State. The study described the socio-economic characteristics of farming households in Imo State; ascertained farming households’ awareness of fuel price hike; identified the perceived causes of fuel price hike; ascertained the perceived effect of fuel price hike on farming activities among farming households in Imo State and identified the coping strategies used among farming households to cushion the effect of fuel price hike in Imo State. A multi-stage sampling was adopted in selecting 120 farming households for the study. Primary data were used for the study using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis employed percentages, means, frequencies and mean score analysis. The result on the awareness of the effect of fuel price hike among farming household showed that all the farmers were aware (100%). farming households perceived fuel subsidy removal (x̄=3.7), instability in government policies (x̄ =3.5), high cost of importation of refined fuel (x̄ =3.4), Non-functional of local refineries (x̄ =3.3) among others as the causes of fuel price hike. Farming households perceived increased cost of transportation for farm inputs (x̄ =3.9), Increased cost of production/farming activities like ploughing, clearing etc(x̄=3.9) Increased price of farm produce (x̄ =4.0), Increased food prices (x̄=4.0), decreased agricultural productivity (x̄=3.4), Limited access to agricultural machinery and equipment,( x̄ =3.3), increased in transportation of farm produce to the market (x̄ =3.4) as the effects of fuel price hike. The highest ranking coping strategies used by farming households were trekking some distances to reduce the cost of transportation (Ranked 1st), Minimising spending habits due to fuel price increase (2nd), Explored the use of alternative energy sources e.g solar panels for irrigation, charcoal, firewood (3rd). Explore the possibility of collective purchasing or bulk buying with others to reduce individual costs (4th) and skipping meals (5th). Educational level, household size and access to credit were the significant socioeconomic variables influencing farming households’ perceived effect of fuel price hike. The study therefore recommends that Nigeria's crude oil should be refined domestically so that the importation of refined fuel can be banned which will reduce the cost of refining and pump price.
Seasonal Survey of Bacterial Species and their Bioremediation Potentials in Leachates from a Nigerian Municipal Solid Waste Dumpsite
Authors: I. Y. Egbon , G. T. Okorie , O. S. Imade
Published: July 2024

Myriads of microorganisms present in dumpsite leachates produce varieties of extracellular enzymes that can degrade toxic compounds to innocuous products. The present study involved a seasonal survey of bacterial species and their bioremediation potentials in leachate from the Ikueniro open solid waste dumpsite situated in Uhunmwode Local Government Area, Edo State, Nigeria. Bacterial isolation and enumeration of the leachate samples was carried out using pour plate technique. Phenotypic techniques and 16S rRNA gene analysis identified the bacterial isolates. The bacterial mastermix for bioremediation of the leachate consisted of a consortium of bacterial strains isolated from leachate discharging from the Ikhueniro dumpsite. The bioremediation efficiency of the leachate was deduced by measurement of heavy metals and other chemical analytes using standard methods prescribed by the American Public Health Association. The bacterial species isolated from Ikueniro dumpsite such as Bacillus licheniformis strain EGBON & OKORIE 103 and Klebsiella aerogenes strain EGBON & OKORIE 108 were deposited in the United States NCBI GenBank. A consortium of these bacterial strains served as inocula for the bioremediation setup. A huge removal of ammonia from the leachate was observed during the 28-day bioremediation experiment, amounting to a mean bioremediation efficiency of 80.65%. The removal of the heavy metals from the raw leachate by the bacterial mastermix in increasing order was as follows: nickel<copper<zinc<lead<iron<cadmium<arsenic<mercury. Bioremediation of the leachate using indigenous bacteria promises to be an effective tool for management of toxicants from leachates of open solid waste dumpsites.
Relevance of Classical Test Theory in the Assessment of Learning in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria
Authors: S. W. Ebere , L. N. Nbame
Published: July 2024

Over the years, measurement experts have been captivated by the description of students, which has resulted in the development of test theories such as Item Response Theory and Classical Test Theory. The traditional method of item analysis, known as "Classical Test Theory," asserts that an individual's observed score on an exam is equal to their true score and an error score, with all items in the test contributing equally to student performance. Assessment, in this context, refers to any method used to gauge a learner's current knowledge. The significance of Classical Test Theory in teaching, learning, and evaluating learning outcomes has spurred academic inquiry. This paper explored the application of Classical Test Theory in tertiary institution assessment, emphasizing its relevance in evaluating learning outcomes. Some notable points included the simplicity of mathematical procedures in classical test analysis and the straightforwardness of model parameter estimation. Additionally, this paper advocated for the utilization of statistical sophistication inherent in Classical Test Theory to interpret undergraduates' performance effectively. Lecturers were encouraged to familiarize themselves with its application to provide meaningful insights into students' performance.
