Vitória acima da superioridade: como os aliados venceram a Segunda Guerra Mundial na Europa
Authors: Macedo Carlos
Published: March 2022

As relações internacionais atuais mostram o renascimento da competição entre Estados, o que revela a possibilidade de um conflito convencional entre grandes potências. Na ausência de confrontos recentes desse tipo, a dinâmica da Segunda Guerra Mundial (IIGM) ainda é uma útil fonte de compreensão sobre como um novo conflito pode se desdobrar. Para examinarmos essa guerra mundial do século passado, formulamos como questão se a superioridade dos Aliados, em termos econômicos e de pessoal, tornou sua vitória praticamente inevitável no teatro europeu. É uma pergunta ainda válida atualmente, porque os estados continuam competindo sob o guarda-chuva do dilema de segurança segundo o qual a capacidade de defesa é entendida como aumento do número de “soldados” e de meios. Este artigo teve como objetivo responder à pergunta com o apoio da teoria de Michael Handel, que afirma que guerras prolongadas foram vencidas por aqueles que, além de superioridade econômica e na quantidade de “soldados” e de outros meios, mostram melhor liderança, formam uma aliança profícua e observam a geografia com sabedoria. Nosso estudo concluiu que, embora a superioridade tenha sido de fato relevante na IIGM, ela foi na verdade apenas a parte visível de uma estratégia pensada e conduzida por uma liderança experiente que levou em conta as características da geografia e estabeleceu um forte sistema de alianças.

The vine is a perennial crop that can be infested with a large number of annual and perennial, monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed species. The damage caused by weeds to vines refers to competition from factors of vegetation, light, water, minerals, as well as the increased incidence of diseases such as blight, powdery mildew and gray rot. Weed control in the vine culture is a very important work can be done mechanically and chemically. Carrying out the autumn plowing is a mandatory work because it creates a superficial layer of loose soil, with large spaces, which determines the retention of water in the soil, at the disposal of the vine. The annual weeds are very well controlled by plowing, the seeds of which are buried in depth, thus contributing to the decrease of the degree of weeding. Perennial weeds, such as Bermuda grass, Johnson grass, field bindweed and field thistle cannot be combated by soil works because they multiply through vegetative organs. The use of herbicides on vines is beneficial because they increase production efficiently by reducing the cost of mechanical weed control. However, the application of easily leached soil herbicides can cause serious damage through root uptake and translocation to above-ground organs, including in combat. To avoid these problems, it is recommended to apply film-forming herbicides, which are very strongly absorbed on the soil surface, which does not leach into the soil and thus does not translocate into the vine plant. Such active substances act on the soil surface by stopping the emergence of weeds from the surface layer of the soil. Also, post-emergent antimonocotyledonous herbicides can be applied in the early phase of vine growth, which can control annual and perennial monocotyledonous weeds, having the advantage that they can be metabolized in the vine plant

Linking Motivation and Employee Engagement through Gamification in Remote Working
Authors: Pura Justine Jude
Published: March 2022

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous organizations have shifted to remote work, telework, or work from home (WFH) for the employees’ safety. However, remote work reduces motivation, especially if employees have no choice on where to work. Apart from the motivation of employees, the levels of engagement are also decreasing. With the emergence of telework, numerous challenges are also identified. This research identifies, enumerates, and establishes the need for gamification, a trending concept that uses game elements (or motivational affordances which include points, leaderboards, badges, etc.) to non-game context (marketing/commerce, education, work, etc.) in remote work, to increase the levels of engagement and motivation, as well as to overcome the challenges employees encounter in the new set-up. With the lack of in-depth literature on gamification together with the emergence of work-from-home in the new normal, the researcher used a qualitative design to explore the concept and interviewed 10 employees from the Philippines who were forced to work remotely. The participants for the interview were chosen using the Purposive Sampling method and were asked about their perceptions on motivation, employee engagement, and games, as well as their perception towards implementing gamification in their new workplace. The interviews were done through online interviews (conference call). This research shows a positive response and potential effect on leveraging both motivation and employee engagement through gamification. With the perceptions of the participants toward gamification, this paper could help develop concepts or theories for potential quantitative research, as well as encourage organizations to implement gamification in the workplace to avoid potential problems.

Published: March 2022

This paper examines the critical aspect of health dynamics in the context of poverty and development of Indigenous people (Agta Isarog & Agta Tabangnon) in Mt. Isarog, Southern Luzon, the Philippines. The datasets were gathered from the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) of Goa Municipality, complemented by IP Censuses of 2018-2019. The core poverty indicators were analyzed in aggregated and disaggregated approaches. The poverty of each locality differs yet a large portion of the entire households and population of indigenous people are living below the poverty and food thresholds. In addition, the poverty incidence, gap, and severity using headcount ratios, gap metrics, squared gap statistics, and Watts indices were evaluated. It has been revealed that the poverty of Indigenous people is moderate to intense and manageable through intervention programs and policy initiatives. It then subsequently characterized the variables of health dynamics which vary per locality, and have been impacting poverty across all barangays. To confirm whether health dynamics predict poverty occurrences, Logistic regression models were estimated in an individual and consolidated manner. Results confirm that health dynamics significantly predict poverty outcomes.

The key aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between exposure to social media to the awareness on various social issues and the complex political involvement of youth. The study employed a correlational design of quantitative research approach use to analyze data gathered based on the conducted online survey of senior high school students from Tanauan City Integrated High School. In addition, this study applied a Pearson correlation to determine if a significant correlation existed. Findings showed that there is no significant connection between the respondents’ social media exposure and their level of awareness regarding societal issues in the country. On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between the respondents’ social media exposure and their level of radical involvement. This research demonstrates how a broader and more advanced understanding of youth’s radical political participation associated with more comprehensive measures of social media use can help better understand the role of digital platforms in influencing political participatory behavior and awareness among the internet generation. It is recommendable that future researchers could focus on a different aspect, highlighting the effects of specific social media platform to bring in-depth information about its implications to the political behaviors and awareness of youth in this particular variable.

Background: The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia is currently in the range of 30 per 1000 live births and about 5% of deaths are caused by infectious diseases associated with low immunity of infants due to lack of breast milk intake. The experience of primiparous adolescent mothers in obtaining family support in providing exclusive breastfeeding.
Objective: This study aims to find out what are the experiences of primiparous adolescent mothers in exclusive breastfeeding and what are the obstacles and lack of family support.
Methods: This research is a qualitative research with descriptive phenomenology, data obtained through in-depth interviews with five respondents who are primiparous adolescent mothers who have met the requirements or are said to be saturated. Data were collected in the form of interviews and field notes and analyzed by technique.
Results: The experiences of primapara adolescent mothers in exclusive breastfeeding were pain in the breasts, sore nipples and swollen breasts. Teen mothers felt that there was a negative assessment of the social environment with their status as young mothers and some participants expressed their lack of understanding about breastfeeding. The obstacles to exclusive breastfeeding are the reasons for sore nipples, swollen breasts, psychological problems, and working mothers. Husbands do not provide support or motivation for their wives to give exclusive breastfeeding to their children, even their own biological mothers do not give directions to primiparous adolescent mothers to give exclusive breastfeeding.
Conclusion: The experience of primiparous adolescent mothers during exclusive breastfeeding is highly dependent on family support, although adolescent mothers know that breastfeeding is important for children's health but the confidence and confidence of adolescent mothers in breastfeeding is still low. The five themes found in this study were able to describe the experiences of primiparous adolescent mothers while receiving family support in exclusive breastfeeding.

Liquisolid technique is an emerging technology of formulation development. In the present work, a modified-release formulation of gliclazide was developed by using the liquisolid technique. Gliclazide was dispersed in a nonvolatile solvents system of Tween 80 and propylene glycol, followed by adsorbing the liquid medication on carrier material MCC pH 102. Drug release rate controlling polymer HPMC was wet granulated with binder solution along with diluent. The two blends of API liquisolid and polymer mixture were blended uniformly with extra granular excipients to manufacture gliclazide modified release tablets 30 mg. Characterization of gliclazide liquisolid tablets was done using analytical techniques, i.e., FTIR and XRD. The optimization of the formulation was done by using mixture design where the amount of propylene glycol, Tween 80, DCP (anhydrous), HPMC K4M and HPMC K100 LVCR were considered to be the independent formulation variables. The dissolution and hardness were considered as dependent variables. The formulations were evaluated for dissolution, assay, hardness, thickness and other vital properties. The liquisolid formulation showed a zero-order release pattern and matched with the innovator (Diamicron MR 30 mg). The modified release tablets showed good stability at 40 °C / 75% RH for three months.

Published: March 2022

In the present study effort has been made to establish the antiulcer activity of Saraca asoca (Roxb.), De Wild (family-Caesalpinaceae) stem bark hydroalcoholic-extract using ethanol induced ulceration model in albino rats, because no systematic study has been reported for its antiulcer activity. The effect of hydro-alcoholic extract (60:40) of S. asoca bark was investigated by carrying out an acute toxicity study in albino rats to evaluate the antiulcerogenic activity by using ethanol induced gastric ulcer model compared with omeprazole as standard drug. The preliminary photochemical screening of this medicinal plant identified the presence of important secondary metabolites like flavonoids and tannins. Acute toxicity study did not manifest any toxicological signs in rats. Oral administration of absolute ethanol (99.5 %, 5 mL kg -1, p.o.) produced significant ulcers index (41.00 ± 1.75) in the control group. Standard drug omeprazole (40 mL kg -1, p.o.) produced ulcer index (12.17 ± 0.74). Ulcer index (24.17 ± 1.40) is significantly (p<0.001) protected by hydro-alcoholic extract of S. asoca (stem bark) at a dose of 200 mL kg -1, p.o. The present finding suggests that hydro-alcoholic extract of S. asoca (stem bark) promotes ulcer protection activity.
Character Recognition of Arabic Handwritten Characters Using Deep Learning
Authors: Jbrail Mohammed Widad , Tenekeci Mehmet Emin
Published: March 2022

Optical character recognition (OCR) is used to digitize texts in printed documents and camera images. The most basic step in the OCR process is character recognition. The Arabic language is more complex than other alphabets, as the cursive is written in cursive and the characters have different spellings. Our research has improved a character recognition model for Arabic texts with 28 different characters. Character recognition was performed using Convolutional Neural Network models, which are accepted as effective in image processing and recognition. Three different CNN models have been proposed. In the study, training and testing of the models were carried out using the Hijja data set. Among the proposed models, Model C with a 99.3% accuracy rate has obtained results that can compete with the studies in the literature.

Objective: This study was designed to determine the effect of high-quality nursing (HQN) combined with enteral nutrition support (ENS) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods: The hematuria amylase recovery time were observed and recorded in the two groups. The contents of nutritional and biochemical indicators (total serum protein, TP; prealbumin, PA; albumin, ALB) were detected before and after nursing intervention in the two groups, and the ratios of CD4+T lymphocytes, CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes and white blood cell counting (WBC) were monitored. Before and after nursing intervention, the levels of inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested, and the scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and computed tomography (CT) were evaluated. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were emplyed for the evaluation of the anxiety and depression status of patients before and after nursing intervention, Short-Form 36-item Health Survey (SF-36) for the assessment of the quality of life (QOL) and the self-made (hospital) nursing satisfaction questionnaire for the determination of the nursing satisfaction of patients in the two series after nursing intervention. Results: In comparison with CG, the hospitalization time, hospitalization cost, and the hematuria amylase recovery time were statistically less in RG (P<0.05). Compared with CG, the levels of nutritional and biochemical indicators TP, AP, ALB were statistically higher in RG (P<0.05), the ratios of CD4+T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes were statistically higher (P<0.05), and the WBC level was statistically lower after nursing intervention (P<0.05). In comparison with CG, the IL-6, TNF-α and CRP levels were statistically lower and the IL-10 level was statistically higher in RG after nursing intervention (P<0.05). RG presented statistically lower APACHE II and CT scores, evidently decreased SAS and SDS scores, and significantly higher QOL scores and nursing satisfaction than CG after nursing intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion: HQN intervention is markedly effective in the treatment of AP patients with ENS. It can statistically shorten the length of hospital stay, lower the economic pressure, and reduce the hematuria amylase recovery time and the incidence of complications. Also, it can enhance the nutritional health level and immune function of patients, reduce the inflammatory reaction, alleviate patients’ adverse emotions of anxiety and depression, and meliorate their QOL and prognosis.

Published: March 2022

At current rates, the building industry is the major contributor to gas emissions and energy consumption in the world, placing unprecedented pressure to find alternative and sustainable construction materials, particularly in regions where urbanization and population growth are expected to rise. Coincidentally, bamboo culms are a sustainable and abundant resource with the potential to be used as a structural element in those regions, however, their organic nature and inherent incompatibility with modern design and construction procedures have hampered their formal utilization. This article presents the details of an innovative workflow based on the philosophy that the quality and reliability of bamboo structures can be computationally managed through the digitization of individual structural bamboo elements. The workflow relies on reverse-engineering processes that integrate and make bamboo culms compatible with modern data-management platforms such as Building Information Modelling. A case study based on a reconstruction project of bamboo houses in Lombok, Indonesia is presented to illustrate the proposed workflow. This work showed that digitization and management are not just to represent shapes and information regarding bamboo culms through computer software, but can also control the quality, sustainability, and structural behavior of a bamboo structure during its entire service life.
La construcción de la historia de América Latina: una reflexión en torno a los conceptos utilizados
Authors: Jurado Gonzalo Martín
Published: March 2022

El presente trabajo aborda algunos conceptos que consideramos claves en la enseñanza de Historia Americana Colonial, la centralidad estará en torno a lo colonial; en relación a la temporalidad, el régimen de historicidad; la urbanización o fundación de ciudades; las Reformas borbónicas; los jesuitas; los pueblos originarios y la cuestión de género. Para establecer una relación sustantiva entre estos conceptos, se retomó una serie de textos utilizados usualmente en la enseñanza superior de la historia americana. Además, se retomaron algunos textos que no se trabajan específicamente en la mencionada cátedra pero que consideramos de gran importancia para enriquecer el diálogo propuesto. A través de ellos se muestran diferentes perspectivas, construcciones conceptuales sobre temáticas medulares y la complejidad que conlleva la construcción de la historiografía del período. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue realizar un diálogo entre algunos textos desde una perspectiva relacional. La investigación que se presenta es un estudio cualitativo, sobre un corpus documental que indagó sobre la compleja relación que se establece entre la enseñanza de la historia americana colonial, y la bibliografía propuesta, focalizándonos en un caso concreto. Esta particularidad, tiene la fortaleza de brindar un conocimiento pormenorizado de los materiales que se utilizaron para la enseñanza de la historia americana colonial en el nivel superior, teniendo siempre presente que es un conocimiento limitado, ya que la construcción de saberes, sobre la temática no se produjo solamente mediante la lectura de textos.

Published: March 2022

Rozwój mikroorganizmów tworzących biofilm na powierzchniach użytkowych w zakładach produkcji i przetwarzania żywności często prowadzi do jej psucia oraz stanowi poważne zagrożenie dla zdrowia publicznego. Szczególnie niebezpieczne dla zdrowia człowieka są biofilmy wytwarzane przez chorobotwórcze bakterie, takie jak Campylobacter jejuni, patogenne szczepy Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus czy drożdże z rodzaju Candida. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie czytelnikom wiedzy na temat mechanizmów powstawania biofilmów, zagrożeń wynikających z rozprzestrzeniania się biofilmotwórczych patogenów, a także metod zapobiegania i usuwania bioﬁlmu w zakładach produkcji i przetwórstwa żywności.
Research on the influence of inconsistency between anchor image and product image on consumers' purchase intention
Authors:   Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, Yue Xu
Published: March 2022

In recent years, the live broadcast industry has been booming, but some anchors have realized that their images are not consistent with the images of recommended products, which will affect consumers' purchasing intentions. This paper takes consumer perception as the theoretical basis to construct a hypothesis model and takes situational experiment as the research method. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the inconsistency between anchor image and product image will have a negative effect on consumers' purchase intention, and consumers' perception of anchor professionalism and perceived product reliability play a mediating role between the two. The text puts forward a new explanation mechanism in theory, and has some enlightening effect on the selection of anchor team in practice.
Gamification: A pedagogical strategy for generation Z nursing students
Authors: Russell Nina M. , Wayne Megan S.
Published: March 2022

Background: Nurse educators must develop teaching strategies to meet the growing needs of healthcare and engage Generation Z nursing students. Gamification based learning activities, such as educational escape rooms, combine multiple modalities that appeal to the current generation of nursing students.  Educational escape rooms have the potential to improve teamwork and achievement of learning outcomes among nursing students. However, few studies have been done to identify nursing student perception of the educational and teambuilding value of these activities. Methods: A longitudinal exploratory study was conducted to determine baccalaureate nursing student perceptions of the value of team-based escape rooms as an educational tool and compare self-reported teamwork scores after completing a series of escape activities. Students were recruited from a baccalaureate nursing course to participate in five escape room activities and asked to complete anonymous online surveys to determine perceptions of educational value and teamwork after each activity.Results: A total of 33 participants responded positively to educational escape rooms with 100% of participants stating they would recommend this activity to others. Teamwork assessments were also positive with improvement as the study progressed.Conclusions: Educational escape rooms are an appropriate tool for nurse educators today that students value and enjoy. The use of escape rooms in nursing education engages students in learning while also improving teamwork.

Soybean seeds are susceptible to field deterioration after reaching physiological maturity, which usually occurs at the R7 stage, with harvest at R8. This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical and physiological changes in seeds of different soybean cultivars submitted to delayed harvest in the field. Seeds of the cultivars NS 5959, BMX Potência, and TMG 1175 were harvested at four times (0, 10, 20, and 30 days after reaching R8). Moisture, germination, first count, accelerated aging, emergence, and tetrazolium tests were performed in each harvest period. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were also evaluated. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a 3×4 factorial scheme (three cultivars and four harvest times). A reduction in germination and vigor of seeds of different soybean cultivars was found at R8 + 20 and R8 + 30 days related to field deterioration due to delayed harvest. The seeds of the cultivars did not differ in terms of viability under delayed harvest but differed in terms of antioxidant and physiological responses. Better and worse seed performances were found for the cultivars BMX Potência and TMG 1175, respectively, at R8 and in R8 + 10 days.
