Diálogos entre a teoria e a prática da extensão: compreendendo o contexto do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo
Authors: Zoteli de Oliveira Delevedove Késia , Pinto de Lima Tatiana Polliana
Published: December 2023

Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o panorama teórico e prático da extensão universitária no contexto do campus Nova Venécia do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo. A compulsoriedade da curricularização da extensão universitária nos cursos de graduação descortinou diversos entraves institucionais, mas também contribuiu para o fortalecimento da extensão nas práticas pedagógicas desta instituição. Importante salientar que a extensão é um dos tripés de atuação das Universidades Federais, bem como dos Institutos Federais (IF), e que contribui para a aproximação curricular com a sociedade em que estamos inseridos. Acredita-se que a extensão vinculada ao currículo pode contribuir para uma formação integral dos estudantes, mas para isso faz-se necessário superar desafios institucionais, estruturais, culturais e conceituais. Assim, para o desenvolver desta pesquisa a premissa foi a da abordagem qualitativa, com o método colaborativo, através de rodas de conversas a partir de roteiro semi-estruturado, realizada com docentes efetivos do lócus da pesquisa. Para tratamento dos dados realizou análise de conteúdo de Bardin e triangulação dos dados obtidos. Como resultado percebeu-se que acerca do conceito e prática extensionista, ainda há muito para evoluir, pois se trata de um conceito que está em processo de amadurecimento e que tem ganhado força e espaço nos currículos, especificamente a partir do PNE 2001-2010, mas que efetivamente garantiu a obrigatoriedade no PNE 2014-2024, ressoando na publicação da Resolução CNE/CEB nº 7/2018, determinando as diretrizes para a curricularização da extensão nos cursos de graduação, exigindo formação continuada dos docentes.

Eco-friendly technology to remove heavy metals from waste water using phytoremediation (water hyacinth ): A review
Authors: A. Abdul kareem Ekhlas , Jassam Alaallah Nisreen , Abdulghafor Ahmed Maryam
Published: December 2023

Environmental contamination, especially water contamination, is a concern in both developed and developing countries. Contamination of water sources with heavy metals is a critical issue that negatively affects living organisms. Because it is not biodegradable, it is stable in the environment, it has a large dispersion with water, and it can accumulate biologically, so there was a need to remove these minerals from wastewater to the permissible limits, and appropriate solutions had to be found. Phytoremediation is a better alternative than traditional physiochemical and biological methods for treating polluted water containing high levels of heavy metals because of its cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. Water hyacinth is a floating plant with long roots and green leaves that floats above the surface of the water and is notorious for threatening the survival of aquatic organisms. But it is considered a promising technique for removing pollutants from water, and the plant has been used for various other applications such as the production and generation of ethanol, paper production, and green manure. It was a good support for the technocrats in controlling the growth of this plant, which is a very promising method that removes pollutants with high efficiency and low cost, avoiding many of the drawbacks of traditional methods. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the water hyacinth plant for the treatment of heavy metal contamination in wastewater. This paper also discusses other potential uses of the water hyacinth plant.

The results showed that a mercury drop of 3 mm3, an acidic medium consisting of a KH phthalate plus HCl buffer solution at pH 2, and 1 ml of NH4Cl, 1 M as a supporting electrolyte were optimal for ceftazidime analysis.Ceftazidime exhibited two peaks, the first at - 0.67V and the second at - 1.06V. For the determination of an unknown concentration, a standard graph of ceftazidime in concentrations ranging from 8.410-6 M to 2.610-5 M was developed. The reliability and accuracy of this technique for analysing the analyte were assessed. For ceftazidime laboratory samples, the SD was 0.1885 and the RSD% did not go above 4.573% at a concentration of 4.6 μg.ml-1, 8.410-6 M, and at a concentration of 8.5 μg.ml-1, 1.510-5 M, the SD was 0.35645 and the RSD% did not go over 4.345%. The peak potential Ep, and the actual number of electrons required for the reduction of ceftazidime are both calculated using the Ilkovic-Heyrovsky equation. The data show that ceftazidime requires five electrons for the reduction reaction to occur. The method has been successfully used to get ceftazidime on the market.Keywords: Ceftazidime, DPP, Analysis.

Abstract

The surface of kaolin was diagnosed by an AFM and the results were shown The height of the highest peak reached by a quantity of Kaolin ‎surface is 2.5 µm, the granules, and their diameter with an average diameter of 666.1nm. Using Kaolin's adsorption properties, erythrosine was removed of its aqueous solution. It was determined that the maximal dye adsorption ranged 36.53–40.61%. ‎‎‎‎The results of using the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin adsorption isotherms revealed that at temperatures of (298,308,318) K, the Freundlich model was followed, the Langmuir model did not match, and the Temkin model could only be partially applied. There is also physical adsorption. One of the three kinetic models of the adsorption process that was examined, the pseudo-second-order model, was found to be applicable significantly based on the result. When the thermodynamic functions were computed using the value of the enthalpy, the process was proven to be exothermic, which was negative and equal to (-16.5582 KJ/mol). The entropy ∆°S value, which equaled (-2.2696 J/mole.K), was also negative. Calculating the Gibbs free energy, it was discovered that the process is exothermic adsorption, non-spontaneous, and happens without randomization. ‎‎‎

Review of Analytical Methodologies for the Determination of Metronidazole and Trimethoprim in Environmental Samples
Authors: Jamur Jasim M. S. , Jasim Wasan Abdulwahid , Jasim Ala’a Abdullwahid
Published: December 2023

Antibiotics are essential for treating infectious diseases, but their overuse and adverse effects are raising concerns about global public health. The pervasiveness of antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments has drawn increased attention in recent years. The primary concern regarding the release of antibiotics into the environment is the potential for microorganisms to become resistant to antibiotics. This review article summarizes the analytical methods used to determine the presence of trimethoprim and metronidazole in various environmental samples. These antibiotics have traditionally been analyzed using tandem mass spectrometry or high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry; fluorescence or ultraviolet detection has been used less frequently. An essential step before liquid chromatography analysis is preparing the sample for extraction and analysis. This helps to eliminate interferences, stop the matrix effect, and pre-concentrate the target analytes. Consequently, the purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the most widely used techniques for the determination of metronidazole and trimethoprim in environmental samples.
A proposed Hyper-Heuristic optimizer Nesting Grey Wolf Optimizer and COOT Algorithm for Multilevel Task
Authors: Mosaa Afrah U. , Al-Jawher Waleed A. Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

It can be extremely difficult to find the optimal solution in many complex optimization problems. The goal of optimization algorithms in such cases is to locate a feasible solution that is as close as possible to the optimal one. These algorithms are called metaheuristic optimization algorithms and the majority of them take their inspiration from nature and work to solve challenging problems in a variety of fields. In this paper, a combination between GWO and Coot algorithm was proposed. The effectiveness of the GWO algorithm has been demonstrated in many fields, including engineering and medicine. However, GWO has a disadvantage: the potential to enter the local minima due to a lack of diversity. GWO and the Coot algorithm were merged to fix this flaw. Ten benchmark functions were used to evaluate the performance of this hybrid technique, and its results were compared to those of other common optimization algorithms, including GWO, Cuckoo Search (CS), and the Shuffled Frog Leaping algorithm (SFLA). The results show that the suggested algorithm can provide results that are both competitive and more consistent than the other algorithms in most test functions.
Implementation Of The Swin Transformer and Its Application In Image Classification
Authors: A. Dihin Rasha. , Al Shemmary Ebtesam N. , Al-Jawher Waleed A. Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

There are big differences between the field of view of the calculator and the field of natural languages, for example, in the field of vision, the difference is in the size of the object as well as in the accuracy of the pixels in the image, and this contradicts the words in the text, and this makes the adaptation of the transformers to see somewhat difficult.Very recently a vision transformer named Swin Transformer was introduced by the Microsoft research team in Asia to achieve state-of-the-art results for machine translation. The computational complexity is linear and proportional to the size of the input image, because the processing of subjective attention is within each local window separately, and thus results in processor maps that are hierarchical and in deeper layers, and thus serve as the backbone of the calculator's vision in image classification and dense recognition applications. This work focuses on applying the Swin transformer to a demonstrated mathematical example with step-by-step analysis. Additionally, extensive experimental results were carried out on several standardized databases from CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and MNIST. Their results showed that the Swin Transformer can achieve flexible memory savings. Test accuracy for CIFAR-10 gave a 71.54% score, while for the CIFAR-100 dataset the accuracy was 46.1%. Similarly, when the Swin transformer was applied to the MNIST dataset, the accuracy increased in comparison with other vision transformer results.

Published: December 2023

Adolescent rugby players have a high risk for injuries; however, injury prevention programmes have reduced the incidence of injuries amongst this group. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the epidemiology of rugby injuries at a South African high school over one season. There were 99 participants over a total of 98 matches and the participants were aged between 13 and 18 years. Information on the type of injuries was documented and the injury proportion (IP), injury incidence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated, with 1000 player-hours as the denominator. Ninety-nine injuries were recorded, with a total injury incidence of 34.1 injuries/1000 player-hours (95% CI 27.4–40.8). Injuries were predominantly of moderate severity (IP: 25.3%) with a time-loss period of 8 to 28 days. Injuries to the head, neck and spine were the most common (IP: 38.4%; incidence: 13.1; 95% CI 8.9–17.2). The findings on the nature of injuries were largely consistent with current local and international research on high school rugby, with the head, neck and spine remaining at a significant risk of injury. It is recommended that injury prevention programmes further enforce safety guidelines for the protection of the head, neck and spine amongst high school athletes.

Published: December 2023

Organised school sport is integral to the development pathways of most South African sports. The highly competitive nature of inter-school leagues often prioritises short-term success over long-term player development. The study compared successful and less successful teams in various talent development environments (TDE) and team cohesion variables based on the log position of a high school’s tournament (u/15 and u/18 age-groups) and established correlations between these variables. A cross-sectional design was used, and 146 boys (average age: 15.51±1.23 years) completed the Talent Development Environment Questionnaire (TDEQ-5) and the Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire (YSEQ) before the 2020 Mazinter Cup. The top three u/18 teams had significantly higher TDEQ-5 (Overall), Alignment of Expectations, Support Networks, YSEQ (Overall Cohesion), Task Cohesion and Social Cohesion scores than the bottom three teams. The results underscore the well-established cohesion–performance relationship. There were no differences at the u/15 level, where players competed in this age-group for the first time. Moderately strong positive correlations existed between various TDEQ-5 and YSEQ variables. Fostering team cohesion is integral to successful TDEs. Long-term player development and team success can be pursued simultaneously.

Authors: Alretha Du Plessis , De Milander Monique , Coetzee Frederik , Coetzee Dané
Published: December 2023

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a motor coordination disorder that persists if intervention is not provided. Local guidelines are unavailable for intervention in children with probable DCD (p-DCD), and the aim of this study was to develop a motor intervention framework focusing specifically on the South African population within the scope of kinderkinetics, based on expert information, as a guideline for children with DCD or p-DCD. Twenty-nine kinderkinetics experts from South Africa participated in a three-round e-Delphi process. Round one obtained consensus and opinions from the experts by reviewing literature findings on intervention for children with DCD or p-DCD. Rounds two and three were based on answers and opinions provided in round one to determine an 80% agreement to accept the statement. Ten main elements formed the foundation for the motor intervention framework. The main focus areas of the framework were intervention planning, goal setting, intervention approaches, intervention apparatus, intervention delivery mode, additional role players, settings, dosage (time, duration, frequency and number of sessions), and evaluation. Understanding that the causes of DCD are heterogeneous was essential in finalising the framework. The research provided unique and collated feedback from kinderkinetics experts to develop a motor intervention framework for children with DCD or p-DCD within the scope of kinderkinetics in South Africa.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui berbagai respon para istri yang dipoligami oleh suaminya namun dalam keadaan tidak menguntungkan atau tidak ada keadilan di dalam bahtera rumah tangganya, serta tujuan dari hasil penelitian ini berguna agar menyadarkan para suami yang ingin berpoligami dengan besarnya tanggung jawab dalam menjalankan syarat-syarat pra-poligami. Hasil penelitiannya menunjukkan poligami adalah suatu kebolehan apabila memenuhi syarat-syarat dan ketentuan yang ada, bukan semata-mata mengikuti hawa nafsu dan mengabaikan hak-hak istri dan anak yang sewajarnya menjadi tanggung jawab dari suami yang sanggup untuk berpoligami. Selain itu, konsep adil yang secara tegas dijelaskan oleh beberapa ulama dan Undang-Undang Hukum Positif Di Indonesia menyangkut hal materil yang harus dipenuhi karena untuk mewujudkan keadilan formil atau membagi kasih sayang dianggap sebagai hal mustahil yang dapat memicu seseorang berbuat dosa kepada Allah SWT.
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Cancer Surveillance Strategy Considerations for Glioblastoma Multiforme
Authors: Ta An-Phuc , Hsu Megan , Iwamoto Satori
Published: December 2023

Sporadic or inherited deficiencies in the production or activity of the tumor suppressor P53 lead to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), a multi-organ tumorigenic condition. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a tumor that commonly presents with a median age of 64, has a higher chance of appearing in much younger patients who have LFS [9]. Since the implementation of the 2016 Toronto Protocol to increase cancer surveillance in LFS patients, three cases of LFS-GBM have been discussed [11-13]. Here, we report a case of LFS in an 18-year-old male who had a seizure due to a GBM that had evaded a full-body MRI six months prior. Furthermore, we discuss the potential quality of life (QOL) benefits of providing patients with a shorter brain MRI screening interval: better survival outcomes and peace of mind. Though there may be a rise in the financial cost with an increase in the number of MRI scans, the prevalence of aggressive tumors that must be treated early for a better prognosis warrants more frequent screening. Furthermore, we address the importance of expanding clinical knowledge on GBM in the LFS setting as well as addressing the benefits of the protocol through statistical studies.

Caracterizada pelo crescimento anormal de tecido semelhante ao endométrio fora do útero, essa condição pode causar uma ampla gama de sintomas, desde dor pélvica intensa até complicações reprodutivas, incluindo infertilidade. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão de literatura abrangendo o período de setembro de 2009 a novembro de 2023, com foco no diagnóstico precoce da endometriose e seus impactos na fertilidade. A pesquisa foi conduzida no banco de dados PubMed, utilizando descritores MeSH específicos, incluindo "Early Diagnosis", "Endometriosis" e "Fertility"..Resultado: o diagnóstico precoce da endometriose é essencial para oferecer às mulheres afetadas a oportunidade de controlar a condição, aliviar os sintomas, preservar a fertilidade e prevenir complicações futuras. Uma abordagem holística, envolvendo conscientização, educação e intervenção médica, é crucial para melhorar a qualidade de vida das mulheres afetadas por essa condição solicitada. Conclusão: A importância do diagnóstico precoce da endometriose transcende os limites da esfera médica, permeando aspectos cruciais da qualidade de vida, bem-estar emocional e reprodutivo das mulheres afetadas.

No cenário da cirurgia de trauma abdominal, a abordagem terapêutica desempenha um papel crucial na gestão eficaz de lesões complexas e múltiplas. A constante evolução das estratégias terapêuticas reflete a busca incessante por melhores resultados e pela redução da morbimortalidade associada a traumas abdominais. Neste contexto, a compreensão aprofundada da fisiopatologia das lesões é essencial para orientar as decisões terapêuticas, uma vez que cada caso apresenta desafios únicos. Dentre as estratégias atuais, destaca-se a abordagem multidisciplinar, integrando cirurgiões, intensivistas, radiologistas e outros profissionais de saúde, visando uma atuação coordenada e abrangente.

A laparotomia continua a ser uma ferramenta essencial na avaliação e tratamento de lesões abdominais graves, permitindo uma exploração minuciosa da cavidade abdominal e a reparação imediata de lesões identificadas. No entanto, as técnicas minimamente invasivas têm ganhado espaço, proporcionando benefícios como menor trauma tecidual, recuperação mais rápida e redução das complicações pós-operatórias. A seleção criteriosa entre abordagens invasivas e não invasivas é um aspecto fundamental na otimização dos resultados terapêuticos.

Além disso, a terapia adjuvante desempenha um papel crescente no gerenciamento de trauma abdominal, incluindo o uso de terapias farmacológicas, terapia endovascular e abordagens inovadoras como a terapia celular. A personalização do tratamento, adaptando as estratégias terapêuticas às características individuais do paciente, emerge como uma tendência promissora na busca pela máxima eficácia. Portanto, este trabalho visa explorar e analisar criticamente as terapêuticas em cirurgia de trauma abdominal, destacando as estratégias atuais e o impacto positivo na abordagem de lesões complexas e múltiplas.

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão abrangente e crítica sobre as terapêuticas em cirurgia de trauma abdominal, concentrando-se nas estratégias contemporâneas utilizadas para abordar lesões complexas e múltiplas. A pesquisa é fundamentada em uma extensa revisão da literatura médica, abrangendo estudos clínicos, revisões sistemáticas e avanços tecnológicos recentes. A análise detalhada abordará tanto as técnicas convencionais, como a laparotomia, quanto as inovações mais recentes, incluindo abordagens minimamente invasivas e terapias adjuvantes.

Corporate social responsibility communication for both business and societal sustainability in ten South African organisations
Authors: Bezuidenhout Louise Bezuidenhout , Kloppers Elbe
Published: December 2023

In the context of South Africa as a developing country, we argue that CSR communication should contribute to both business sustainability and the empowerment of society for societal sustainability. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of senior South African communication practitioners regarding sustainability and the practice of CSR communication to support dual sustainability. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten senior communication practitioners responsible for CSR and/or CSR communication in ten national and international organisations across South Africa. Our findings revealed that although all practitioners recognised sustainability as the purpose of CSR, business sustainability was prioritised, while societal sustainability has only been supported. CSR communication was primarily used to enhance business sustainability by portraying the company as a responsible corporate citizen through corporate communication efforts to enhance its reputation. This is attributed to the fact that the current CSR communication theory is based on corporate communication, which prioritises business objectives.We contend that a more comprehensive theoretical framework, including principles of development communication, would enable CSR communication to significantly contribute to societal sustainability.
