Published: April 2021

Background:

Thoracoscopic bilateral dorsal sympathectomy is the standard of care for primary palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis. This study aims at studying the surgical outcomes with special emphasis on the incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) after thoracoscopic dorsal sympathectomy. Post-procedural patient satisfaction as well as quality of life was measured and analysed.

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective analysis of sixty thoracoscopic dorsal sympathectomy surgeries in thirty patients in a tertiary level thoracic surgery centre over 2 years. Various peri-operative variables were recorded and assessed. Incidence of CH was noted and analysed in relation to patient satisfaction and record was made of quality of life at the time of discharge, at 3 months and 1-year follow-up following surgery.

Results:

We performed sixty video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomies in 30 patients. The mean operative time was 44.93 ± 10 min. The mean hospital stay was 1 day. There were no immediate post-procedural complications. All the patients had complete resolution of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. Fifty per cent of our patients (15/30) had some degree of CH after surgery. Quality-of-life measurement showed very good satisfaction by 100% at discharge, by 93.3% at 3 months and at 1 year. Those 6.66% of patients were partially satisfied/not satisfied because of the presence of moderate-to-severe CH.

Conclusion:

A significant percentage of the patients with primary palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis will be very satisfied with the procedure at 1 year after surgery despite 50% of them developing CH. Detailed counselling regarding CH in the pre-operative period would minimise the dissatisfaction rate after surgery.
Refractory lymphatic ascites following laparoscopic management of renal lymphangiectasia
Authors: Saini Sumit , Nayak Brusabhanu , Singh Prashant , Seth Amlesh
Published: April 2021

Renal lymphangiectasia characterised by either unilocular or multilocular cystic lesion in and around the kidney is an uncommon condition. Presentation of these lesions is quite varied, which along with its uncommon occurrence adds to the challenges in the management of this condition. Most of these cases are managed conservatively and very rarely need any intervention. We present an unusual complication of refractory lymphatic ascites following laparoscopic deroofing of a unilocular renal lymphangiectasia in a 21-year-old gentleman who presented with left flank pain. The ascitic fluid analysis suggested non-chylous lymphatic ascites. The surgical outcome was rather exasperating for the patient than the disease itself. Hence, in the interest of the patient with minimal symptoms, if the imaging is highly suggestive of renal lymphangiectasia, either no intervention or the least invasive procedures should be attempted, whenever possible.

Published: April 2021

European pilchard Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) is one of the most dominant small pelagic landed by purse seine in Turkey as well as Mediterranean. In this study, we aimed to identify relationships between the seasonally adjusted CPUE and changes of the sea surface temperature (SST), fishing area, moon phase, and light used in the purse seine fishery to understand the impact of changes on the CPUE of pelagic fishes, especially S. pilchardus, by a total of 214 operations in Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea. The effect of the parameters on the Sardine CPUE, expressed in terms of kg (haul day)–1, was examined by means of the Generalized Additive Modelling (GAMs) techniques. The CPUE values for S. pilchardus were between 0 – 16 800 kg (haul day)–1 and the mean CPUE was 1 844.3±176.6 kg (haul day)–1 . The smallest median was 441 kg (haul day)–1 for full moon and the differences between the CPUE values of lunar phases were statistically significant (p<0.05). Furthermore, there is a linear relationship between CPUE and SST. In conclusion, the CPUE varied under hydrographic variables mostly SST for sardine purse seine fishery in the Aegean Sea.

Authors: Okpeku M , Nodu MB , Jumbo C
Published: April 2021

This study was conducted to evaluate goat management systems and the prevalence of PPR in two States in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria-Rivers and Bayelsa. The study was conducted in the Bayelsa and Rivers States located in the rainforest zones of the South-Southern part of Nigeria. Three Local Government Areas from each State were randomly selected; Ahoada East, Abua/Odual and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Rivers State and Ogbia, Yenagoa, and Southern Ijaw LGAs in Bayelsa State. Using purposive sampling techniques, private and commercial goat farmers, households and markets were identified and interviewed across the selected LGAs in the study areas. The management system most adopted is the semi-intensive system. Pest des petits ruminants (PPR) was found to have occurred annually from 2008 to 2012, with the highest incidence recorded in 2012 in Bayelsa and Rivers States at a frequency of 22 and 26 % respectively . Poor disease control methods and the neglect of veterinary services by many of the farmers as well as the effect of flooding in 2012 are reasons propounded to have predisposed the goats to the high rate of PPR incidence in 2012.Key words: flood, goat, Management system, Pest des petits ruminants
Loan collaterals and collateral substitutes in rural finance: a review
Authors: Maiangwa MG
Published: April 2021

Poor farm households and other microentrepreneurs have difficulties in obtaining loans from banks and other financial institutions because they are unable to provide securities or collaterals for the loans. Collaterals on loans reduce uncertainty and moral hazard problems for creditors. They also serve as a measure of the seriousness of the borrower. The limited availability of conventional collaterals in rural financial markets has led to the acceptance of non-traditional methods of loan security referred to as collateral substitutes. This paper reviews loan collaterals and collateral substitutes in the rural financial markets of developing countries.Keywords:: Collaterals, collateral substitutes, rural finance.

Published: April 2021

Background Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is still a significant health problem in developing countries. Therefore, it was pertinent to determine the local Malawian microbiology in order to guide adequate treatment, avoid complications, and provide records for future reference.Aim The study sought to determine the CSOM-causing microorganisms at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi, and establish their relationship signs and symptoms, and with the demographic pattern of the study.Methods This was a hospital-based cross-sectional descriptive study carried out at the ENT outpatient clinic and the Microbiology Department of Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.The sample comprised 104 patients with unilateral or bilateral active CSOM, who met the inclusion criteria. All patients were evaluated through a detailed history and clinical examination. Pus samples from draining ears were collected by aspiration with a sterile pipette. The specimens were immediately sent for microbiological analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS.version 20.Results The study found that Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus were the most prevalent aerobic bacteria, while Bacteroides spp. and Peptostreptococcus spp. were the commonest anaerobic bacteria causing CSOM. These CSOM-causing microorganisms were predominant among males aged 18 years and below. Some CSOMcausing microorganisms were—significantly more so than the others—characteristically associated with each of the following clinical features: quantity of pus drainage, mode of onset, otalgia, hearing loss, location of tympanic membrane perforation, and mucosal appearance.
The role of endoscopy after upper gastrointestinal bleeding in sub-Saharan Africa: A prospective observational cohort study
Authors: Gallaher Jared
Published: April 2021

BackgroundUpper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleed is a common surgical disease in sub-Saharan Africa where there is often a lack of diagnostic and interventional adjuncts such as endoscopy. This study sought to characterize the role of endoscopy in management of acute UGI bleeding.Materials and MethodsThis is a prospective observational analysis of adults presenting with an UGI bleed to a tertiary center in Lilongwe, Malawi, over two years. Patients were classified as having no endoscopy, diagnostic endoscopy, or endoscopy with variceal banding. Bivariate, survival analysis, and logistic regression analyses were used to compare intervention cohorts.Results293 patients were included with 49 patients (16.7%) receiving endoscopy with banding, 65 (22.2%) patients receiving diagnostic endoscopy only, and 179 (61.1%) receiving no endoscopy. Upon survival analysis comparing to the no endoscopy group, cox hazard modelling showed an adjusted hazard ratio over 30 days of 0.12 (95% CI 0.02, 0.88, p=0.038) for the endoscopic banding group and a hazard ratio of 0.39 (95% CI 0.13, 1.16, p=0.090) for the diagnostic endoscopy only group. Physical exam findings consistent with cirrhosis and decreasing age were independent predictors of an endoscopic diagnosis of variceal bleeding.ConclusionEsophagogastric varices are a common cause of UGI bleeding in sub-Saharan Africa and can be predicted with age and physical exam findings. Endoscopy with variceal banding has a survival benefit for patients presenting with acute UGI bleed even with relatively low utilization. Appropriately triaging patients with likely variceal bleeding and improving endoscopy capacity would likely have a significant impact on mortality.
The Change of Forward Osmosis Filtration Performance by Trace Organic Compounds in Heavy Metal Removal by Forward Osmosis Filtration
Authors: Jo Kyungkeun
Published: April 2021

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine how the presence of trace organic compounds (TROCs) affects water flux and heavy metal rejection in forward osmosis (FO) filtration when feed solution (FS) contains TROCs and heavy metals.Methods : Four FS (① only heavy metals, ② heavy metals and Trimethoprim, ③ heavy metals and Ibuprofen, ④ heavy metals and Triclosan) were used, and the FO filtration experiments were conducted to perform comparative analysis on the water flux and the rejection rate depending on the FS type.Results and Discussion : The water flux was higher when FS contained TROCs except Ibuprofen, compared to FS containing only heavy metals. It is speculated that the increased water flux was influenced by the decrease in the internal concentration polarization (ICP), which was caused by the adsorption of the TROCs in the support layer of the membrane. The water flux decreased when FS contained Ibuprofen, and this may be because reverse salt flux increased due to the Gibbs-Donnan effect. The rejection rate was not affected by TROCs when heavy metals were mostly rejected in FO filtration, but for the heavy metal that was not fully rejected, the rejection rate increased when FS contained TROCs. It is speculated that this was mainly due to clogging caused by the adsorption on the membrane.Conclusions : It was demonstrated that the presence of TROCs in FS can affect water flux and the rejection rate of heavy metals. Therefore, when the FS containing heavy metals and various organic substances is treated by FO filtration, the performance of the filtration is expected to change depending on the composition of the solution.

Timely diagnosis and monitoring of ulcerative colitis (UC) in children is extremely relevant. In recent years, much attention has been paid to improving noninvasive UC diagnosis methods, which are available and convenient in the practice of a doctor. In this regard, we analyzed the significance of changes in noninvasive laboratory parameters of sick children with different clinical and endoscopic UC activity. Materials and methods. A prospective analysis of data of 80 patients diagnosed with UC at the age of 1 to 18 years with varying degrees of clinical and endoscopic activity of the disease was performed. Results. Significant changes in the studied laboratory parameters’ levels were revealed depending on the degree of clinical and endoscopic UC activity in children. The changes in fecal calprotectin content, levels of albumin, hemoglobin, and platelets were particularly substantial and informative in the blood of sick children when comparing remission with moderate and high clinical and endoscopic UC activity. A decrease in platelet counts was also found when UC activity increased. Conclusion. The studied laboratory parameters are informative noninvasive markers of UC activity in children. These indices can be used in the diagnosis of UC activity and monitoring of the course of the disease.
THE DIFFERENTIATED ECONOMETRIC APPROACH FOR THE IDENTIFYING WAYS TO OPTIMIZE THE TRANSPORT LOGISTICS
Authors: Pirogov Dmytro , Grishko Natalia , Yakovenko Yaroslava
Published: April 2021

The paper is dedicated to the scientific approaches to calculating the cost trends of transport companies as well as the definition of the essence of optimization of transport logistics and an assessment of possible options for the possible improving the existing process of logistics support (due to the fulfillment in particular). The authors investigated the economic essence of transport logistics as a type of activity. The research was based on the popular logistic model for calculating volume changes simultaneously with limited resources commonly known as the Verhulst model. Initially, the Verhulst model was valid only for a short time interval taking into account the fact that the natural environment growth is necessarily limited by a number of factors: depletion of resources, natural conditions etc. The proposed model describes growth passing into the stabilization phase which is much better suited to the real conditions. Within the framework of using the model to solve the problem of logistics optimization it was proposed to find the unknown coefficients of the model. It was noted that by providing fulfillment services that a logistics company receives a number of advantages: optimization of processes, reduction of storage costs, additional benefits. Reducing logistics supply chains and reducing logistics costs today are strategic tasks for optimizing logistics systems as well as for the ensuring just-in-time deliveries and consolidating complex supplies. Using a differentiated econometric approach to determining ways to optimize transport logistics, a procedure for calculating the feasibility of providing additional services using the Verhulst logistic equation was proposed. Logistics operations should be carried out with minimal costs and minimum time for the customer. As it was shown by the applied differentiated econometric approach to determining ways to optimize transport logistics: the higher the costs of designing logistics activities of the transport company are – the lower the logistics costs will result from additional services. It was also revealed that the provision of fulfillment services is the main direction of optimization of the logistics infrastructure.

Authors: Abd Rahman Lubna , A.Bakar Arnida , Muhamad Saad Nurhasma
Published: April 2021

E-Translasi atau terjemahan mesin merupakan salah satu teknologi yang diguna pakai oleh penterjemah dalam menghasilkan terjemahan pantas. Penggunaan e-Translasi dianggap penting untuk digunapakai seiring dengan arus globalisasi ini yang memerlukan akses kepada informasi secara cepat dan efektif, di samping memudahkan proses terjemahan. Namun, e-Translasi tidak semestinya menghasilkan output berkualiti tinggi kerana penterjemahannya dilakukan secara kata demi kata atau literal. E-Translasi tidak dapat menandingi kepakaran manusia dalam menghasilkan terjemahan yang berkualiti. Oleh itu, penterjemah perlu melalui proses penyuntingan hasil e-Translasi untuk menghasilkan teks sasaran yang lebih baik. Lazimnya dalam proses penyuntingan penterjemah akan mempunyai kesukaran kerana hasil e-Translasi lebih bersifat literal. Kajian ini bertujuan mengetengahkan pandangan pengamal penterjemahan atau penterjemah terhadap masalah dan cadangan penyelesaian dalam isu penyuntingan teks yang diterjemahkan melalui salah satu aplikasi e-Translasi, iaitu Google Translate (GT). Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif dan mengguna pakai kaedah Protokol Pemikiran Verbal (Think-aloud Protocols-TAPs) secara restrospektif, yang bertujuan menyingkap apa yang terdapat di dalam minda penterjemah semasa proses penyuntingan dilakukan. Berdasarkan dapatan kajian, penulis merumuskan bahawa terdapat empat aspek utama yang perlu diberi perhatian semasa proses penyuntingan terhadap hasil terjemahan e-Translasi dilakukan oleh penterjemah iaitu: perkataan dan frasa, struktur ayat, teks dan tatabahasa. Hal ini kerana GT ada kalanya tidak dapat menghasilkan padanan atau terjemahan yang menepati sistem dan struktur bahasa sasaran ekoran perbezaan linguistik dan budaya antara bahasa sumber (BSu) dengan bahasa sasaran (BSa), serta kekurangan dalam sistem terjemahan GT itu sendiri yang lebih bersifat literal. Semua aspek tersebut harus diberi perhatian secara menyeluruh apabila melakukan penyuntingan terhadap hasil terjemahan e-Translasi untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan atau ketaksaan dalam memahami mesej sebenar teks sumber.
The Translation of Qur’an Non-Existent Cultural Elements in Malay Culture: An Analysis on Borrowing Approach
Authors: A. Bakar Arnida , Ramli Sulhah
Published: April 2021

Many translation scholars have proposed various approaches when dealing with culture-specific items. It shows that to achieve a good quality and successful translation work, suitable and functional translation approach should be applied by the translator. Borrowing is one of the approaches applied in various texts’ genre such as sacred text which has culture-specific items. It becomes frequently used in translating word with no equivalent in target language. However, it resulted in some of translations which have applied this kind of approach did not supply adequate meaning and fallout the irrelevant text towards readership. The reason is that borrowing approach stands alone without providing compensation strategies. Therefore, this present article investigates the functionality of borrowing approach in translating Qur’an non-existent cultural elements in Malay culture. This study is qualitative, and the data are analysed descriptively using document analysis by adopting Relevance Theory initiated by Sperber and Wilson (1986). It is suggested that the relevancy of translated text can be achieved not only through borrowing as an approach, but at the same time providing adequate meaning by means of compensation strategies. Thus, the study assumes that the less the effort processing is produced to understand the meaning, the higher the contextual effect of meaning is sufficiently provided. On the other hand, if the effort processing is less produced and the contextual effect is highly provided, the optimum relevancy of translated text can be achieved. It is concluded that the combination of borrowing approach and compensation strategies can help better understanding the meaning of non-existent religious cultural items in Malay culture.

Published: April 2021

Doğu ve Güneydoğu Asya bölgeleri son yıllarda küresel ekonomi açısından önemli bir role sahiptir. Bölge devletleri, ulusal ekonomilerindeki gelişmelerle küresel ekonomiye önemli oranda katkı sunmaktadırlar. Bu durum, Doğu ve Güney Doğu Asya’da küresel güçler arasında ve aynı zamanda bölge devletleri arasında sadece ekonomik açıdan değil politik, askeri ve güvenlik açılarından da çok yönlü bir rekabetin doğmasına sebep olmaktadır. Rekabetin en şiddetli konusunu, Güney Çin Denizindeki (GÇD) egemenlik iddialarına ilişkin ihtilaflar oluşturmaktadır. Güney Çin Denizi, sahip olduğu zengin besin değeri ve yer altı kaynakları ile dikkatleri giderek üzerine çekmektedir. GÇD’nin uluslararası deniz ticareti açısından sahip olduğu transit güzergâh rolü, jeopolitik önemi, zengin yer altı ve besin kaynakları bahse konu ihtilafların sebepleri olarak gösterilmektedir. Öte yandan GÇD’deki bölgesel ihtilafların da yerel çatışmalar üzerinde etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Çin’in Güney Çin Denizinin neredeyse tamamı üzerinde hak iddia etmesi ise kıyıdaş devletlerin ve hatta Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) gibi büyük güçlerin tehdit algılamalarına ve kıyıdaş devletlerarasında egemenlik iddiaları rekabetine sebep olmaktadır. Aynı zamanda kıyıdaş devletlerinin artan askeri kapasiteleri bağlamında egemenlik iddialarının silahlı çatışmaya dönüşme olasılığı da sıkça gündeme taşınmaktadır. Bu noktadan hareketle, GÇD’deki bölgesel ihtilafların ulusal güvenlik açısından Çin’in askeri yapısını ve kapasitesini revize etmesinde önemli bir role sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Öte yandan, Çin’in son yıllarda askeri yapısını ve kapasitesini revizyon programları vasıtasıyla arttırması, bölge güvenliğine yönelik tehditlerin başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, Çin’in askeri revizyon programlarını ve askeri revizyonun Çin’in bölgesel ihtilaflarda politikalarını kararlılıkla sürdürmesine nasıl yol açtığını GÇD’deki ihtilaflar bağlamında analiz etmektedir.
The Role of a Part of Speech in the System of Toponym Formation
Authors: BUGIBAYEVA Zh
Published: April 2021

Each place name has its own history. The name of a mountain or any other object of the environment, whether it is a small spring, a piece of land, a water area or even a desert, is of great importance and contains an unsolved mystery.The article is devoted to the issue of the formation of toponyms as a valuable cultural heritage, which, being a kind of" language of the earth", often provide more for solving the problems of historical phenomena than the monuments of material culture, the evidence of ancient and medieval authors. The study of the historical, geographical and linguistic meaning of a placename allows you to get acquainted with the life of the people living in this area.Each geographical name is historical, and its meaning is extensive. They deal with different information depending on the phenomena and changes of time: different wars, folk customs, traditions, relations between peoples and a rich historical past. The appellatives that are part of toponyms determine the natural features of the object (terrain, plants, soil, etc.), and there are also names made up of ethnonyms and antrotoponyms. The names in this group fully convey theethnogenesis of the region. Geo objects on earth are also named for their distinctive features, qualitative, and quantitative properties. What matters to us is what parts of speech are used when creating these names. The article discusses the most common toponyms, which are created using nouns, and also provides their structural models. Nouns and adjectives play a more active role intoponymy than other parts of speech.Nouns actively participate in the formation of toponyms, forming new words. In this regard, the composition of toponyms is also diverse. Toponymic names contain word-forming suffixes, all types of words in various ways. Derived suffixes in the formation of toponymic names and their activity are also considered.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of credit risk on profitability. The relationship of the effect of credit risk on profitability (ROA) in a number of studies that have been developed found the effect of credit risk on profitability with negative results and there is also a significant positive effect. This research gap in current research needs to be mediated by new viables, so that credit risk does not affect the decline in the level of profitability. The mediating variable is Capital Adequacy (CAR).The results of the analysis of the Effect of Credit Risk on Profitability with Capital Adequacy as a Mediation Variable show that CAR is able to mediate the direct effect of NPL on ROA. Where the direct effect of NPL on ROA was originally valued at -0.562, but after the presence of CAR as a mediating variable, the effect of this relationship increased to 0.163. The more bad credit in a financial institution, the more it will cause losses. To cover this loss, the financial institution returns it from the capital it owns so that it will reduce the CAR value of the cooperative

The DAC Assessment Tool (DAT) is a questionnaire which may be used or completed by the study PI and her/his team covering design, analyze, and communicate topics important to consider when designing informative studies. While not all points are relevant to all studies, in general they are intended to promote sound and proven scientific methodology combined with the use of recent innovations in trial design. For example, in addition to supporting PI teams as they plan their study, fully completed DATs can serve as diagnostic guides to help study stakeholders assess whether a proposed study is likely to provide definitive answers and lead to implementable results. Completed DATs help identify gaps in study planning that need to be addressed with funding and technical partnerships before a study is finalized or initiated.

En este trabajo se reflejan los resultados obtenidos, vía simulación, del estudio de las restricciones de confort de un controlador predictivo basado en modelo (MPC) no lineal, para la gestión energética del sistema centralizado de climatización de una instalación hotelera. Con el objetivo de lograr eficiencia económica, el controlador empleado utiliza un modelo de predicción del comportamiento del consumo energético de las habitaciones a partir de los registros históricos del hotel. Para satisfacer el confort térmico requerido por los ocupantes, se considera un modelo de zona de confort más completo, que el modelo utilizado por (Acosta et al., 2016), en una de las restricciones del problema de optimización. Esto permitió un mayor ahorro energético, siendo esta la principal contribución de esta investigación. Las simulaciones de los escenarios presentados fueron realizadas con MATLAB®.

Introdução: A pesquisa buscou discutir se o ensino remoto facilita o meio de estudo daqueles que não tiveram acesso à escola durante a infância e juventude, uma vez que a educação de jovens e adultos é um direito garantido conforme o artigo 37 da lei de diretrizes e bases de educação nacional (LDB). Resta saber que o ensino a distância é uma modalidade que vem ganhando espaço no Brasil. A proposta da presente pesquisa surgiu através da necessidade de utilizar os recursos tecnológicos como meio de alcançar jovens e adultos de forma a inclui-los na sociedade. Objetivo: Analisar as contribuições do ensino remoto para a educação básica de jovens e adultos (EJA). Material e métodos: A pesquisa classifica-se como bibliográfica, uma vez que foi necessário utilizar fontes secundárias, baseados em teorias, doutrinas e artigos científicos. Foi utilizado também como técnica de pesquisa entrevistas que foram realizadas com indivíduos de 18 a 60 anos. Resultados: A educação de jovens e adultos de forma remota, torna possível a articulação do trabalho pedagógico bem como o desenvolvimento dos interesses de cada indivíduo, no qual todos devem ter direito ao acesso conforme elenca o artigo 205 da Constituição Federal (CF). Conclusão: Concluiu-se portanto que o ensino remoto possibilita uma maior adesão de jovens e adultos as salas de aulas, fazendo com que o aprendizado não passe despercebido e assim essas pessoas possam retornar a sociedade. Percebeu-se que o ensino a distância, alcança mais pessoas trazendo de volta ao convívio social esses indivíduos que antes sofriam um estigma por não terem concluído os estudos.

Introdução: O PSI, Sistema de ensino personalizado (personal system of instruction) é uma metodologia de ensino embasada em princípios fundamentais da Análise do Comportamento. A flexibilidade do método é uma qualidade, e possibilita o uso de uma diversidade de recursos educacionais, síncronos e assíncronos, para compor um curso no formato do PSI. O papel do professor no PSI diferencia-se de seu papel no ensino tradicional. A função principal deixa de ser a de transmitir conhecimento e passa a ser a de acompanhar, aprimorar, treinar e gerenciar. Objetivo: Aplica-se o método PSI em alunos que foram reprovados por nota em disciplinas teórico-cognitivas presentes na matriz curricular do curso de Engenharia Civil e Engenharia Mecânica até o momento. Utilizando-o, o aluno poderá dar continuidade em sua grade curricular e cumprir duas dependências. Material e métodos: Utilizamos o método PSI, onde o discente tem como ferramenta plataformas digitais gratuitas, como o Google Classroom, para disponibilização e mediação do processo de ensino aprendizagem. Resultados: Até a presente data, aplicou-se o método nas disciplinas de Cálculo diferencial e Integral, Fenômenos de Transportes, Teoria das Estruturas, Resistência dos materiais e Saneamento básico, apresentando grande aceitação dos docentes devido a nova possibilidade de ensino. Qualitativamente os discentes obtiveram índices de aprovação acima de 80%. Quantitativamente o número de inscritos no programa progride, sendo 15% do público acadêmico no curso de Engenharia da instituição. Conclusão: O PSI proporciona ao aluno o cumprimento integral de sua matriz curricular, diminui o índice de evasão, além de estimular no docente e na instituição, a ruptura do modelo tradicional de ensino e inserção de ferramentas digitais, e no aluno a capacidade de autogestão de tempo e conhecimento, disciplina e proatividade, características imprescindíveis na formação geral do profissional.

Published: April 2021

Introdução: O ano de 2020 foi marcado pela difusão global do vírus da SARS CoV 2, causador da Covid 19, levando governos mundiais a tomar medidas para sua contenção, incluindo o fechamento das escolas. As escolas precisaram adaptar-se aos meios disponíveis para realizar seu trabalho em condições adversas e com abissais desigualdades, que dificultam o acesso aos meios digitais por uma parcelada dos educandos. As escolas públicas do Distrito Federal adotaram o sistema de aulas via Google Meet e o envio de atividades impressas. Objetivo: O objetivo do trabalho é compartilhar experiências da disciplina de geografia, no 2º ano do ensino médio, do Centro Ensino Médio Setor Leste do Distrito Federal. Material e métodos: Os temas trabalhados foram: ocupação do território e regionalização brasileira, formação étnica do povo brasileiro, industrialização e urbanização brasileira e problemas sociais e ambientais urbanos. Para a apresentação dos temas foram utilizados slides, vídeos e ferramentas como o Mentimeter, para uma dinâmica de perguntas e respostas apresentadas em forma de nuvens de palavras. As avaliações foram formativas, por meio de discussões, elaboração de textos e projeto sobre a urbanização e problemas ambientais e sociais urbanos no local de moradia dos educandos. Resultados: Os educandos relataram resultados positivos, mesmo com as dificuldades de adaptação ao sistema remoto. As aulas destacadas foram as que contaram com uso do Mentimeter, de vídeos, como os capítulos 2 e 3 do documentário “O povo brasileiro”, e o projeto sobre urbanização, que os levou a observar a realidade da cidade e do bairro onde vivem e realizar conexões com a urbanização brasileira. Conclusão: Pode-se compreender que houve dificuldades para a adaptação ao modelo remoto, com destaque para as desigualdades sociais e econômicas. Entretanto, os educandos que tiveram condições para acompanhar as aulas remotas envolveram-se com o processo apresentando bons resultados finais.
