Use of Trimean in Theil-Sen Regression Analysis
Authors: ERİLLİ Necati Alp
Published: July 2021

Theil-Sen regression analysis is the most preferred method in non-parametric regression analysis. In the Theil-Sen method, calculations are made with the median parameter. In this study, it was proposed to calculate the trimean parameter instead of the median parameter. In this way, the effects of the outliers in the data on the model are fully reflected. In applications of one real-life and two simulation data, the results obtained with the use of trimean were more successful. It is recommended to use the trimean parameter instead of the median parameter in data structures with an excess of outliers.

Authors: Gomes Iraildes Alves De Moura , De Queiroz Bruna Furtado Sena
Published: July 2021

Objetivos: Verificar na literatura como ocorre o funcionamento de uma Unidade de Prevenção e Tratamento de úlceras de perna falciforme em um hemocentro. Revisão bibliográfica: Tradicionalmente, o principal tratamento da úlcera de perna falciforme continua a ser uma combinação de higiene local para evitar inflamação e infecção, a elevação da perna, e repouso prolongado, que geralmente não é viável; além destas, existem outras formas de tratamento baseadas nas terapias tópicas e sistêmicas, tais como curativos em gel, antibióticos tópicos, suplementação com zinco, enxertos de pele e transfusões sanguíneas. O estudo demonstrou os caminhos necessários para a construção de uma Unidade de Tratamento e Prevenção de Úlceras Falciformes, identificou a condução terapêutica dos casos e o levantamento bibliográfico sobre as abordagens e conduções das úlceras de perna falciforme, assim como as medidas preventivas e sua aplicação. Considerações finais: Cuidar de uma pessoa com feridas requer dos profissionais responsáveis pela assistência, onde é necessário um leque de possibilidades terapêuticas visando auxiliar na condução destes casos, bem como melhorar a qualidade da assistência oferecida. Sendo assim, cabe aos enfermeiros intervir de forma consensual na escolha adequada do tratamento das úlceras falciforme.

Published: July 2021

Objetivo: Relatar um caso sobre atresia tricúspide (AT), cardiopatia congênita cianogênica rara com elevada mortalidade, evidenciando a importância do diagnóstico intrauterino no planejamento de medidas profiláticas e terapêuticas que permitam o aumento da sobrevida dos pacientes. Detalhamento do caso: Trata-se de paciente portador de AT, atualmente com três anos de idade. Cardiopatia foi suspeitada no período intrauterino por ultrassonografia morfológica e ecocardiografia fetal bidimensional com Doppler em cores e confirmada em ecocardiografia pós-natal. Os neonatos com essa cardiopatia apresentam manifestações clínicas precoces e necessitam de intervenção imediata ao nascimento. O manejo inclui parto cesáreo programado, intervenção precoce com prostaglandina E1 e programação de cirurgias paliativas e corretivas. Atualmente, o paciente encontra-se estável e em boa evolução clínica. Considerações finais: O diagnóstico da AT durante o período fetal possibilita redução da mortalidade e aumento da sobrevida dos portadores devido à intervenção precoce através do parto programado, manejo terapêutico imediatamente após o nascimento e planejamento de correção cirúrgica escalonada.

Published: July 2021

Objetivo: Propor uma reflexão acerca da temática que envolve a importância da atuação do médico da família e comunidade (MFC) em casos de violência contra a mulher. Revisão bibliográfica: Para abordagem do tema são trazidos para a discussão os fatores históricos que legitimaram a diminuição social da mulher, independente de classe social, raça ou etnia; a criação da Lei Maria da Penha, que mostra as diversas formas de agressão contra a mulher e as penalidade aplicáveis, bem como os meios jurídicos por meio dos quais a mulher pode defender-se contra atos de violência e; ainda o tipo penal chamado feminicídio, considerado como o estágio máximo de violência contra a mulher. Segue o estudo, abordando o primeiro nível de atendimento do paciente no SUS, e a importância do MFC na abordagem desses casos de violência, em especial, no que se refere a identificação e intervenção, meios através dos quais será possível dar a mulher atendimento integral, contemplando os aspectos biopsicossociais dos processos de saúde e doença. Considerações finais: A violência contra a mulher persiste, assim, mostra-se importante uma atuação multiprofissional e intersetorial, com intuito de identificar, intervir, implementar e fortalecer as ações integradas voltadas ao cuidado efetivo das vítimas.

Authors: Zanini Gabriel de Souza , Fernandes Bianca , Amaral Vanessa Teixeira do , Felisberto Pedro
Published: July 2021

Objetivo: Descrever os efeitos adaptativos no controle cardiovascular em ambientes hipóxicos no público idoso, bem como, compreender os aspectos relacionados a essa exposição na Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). Revisão bibliográfica: Em elevadas altitudes é comum à instalação de hipóxia hipobárica, condição na qual há uma redução significante da saturação de oxigênio arterial, condição que induz os quimiorreceptores cardiovasculares a ajustes da ventilação pulmonar na busca do reestabelecimento dos níveis normais do suprimento de oxigênio. Contudo em indivíduos com DPOC expostos a ambientes de baixa oxigenação é observado que há um agravamento do quadro, visto uma sobrecarga nos sistemas periféricos, alterando as variáveis hemodinâmicas e estruturas funcionais do endotélio. Considerações finais: Os dados dos estudos analisados demonstraram que ambientes hipobáricos não alteram as capacidades adaptativas da regulação cardiovascular em idosos, porém, em indivíduos acometidos por DPOC, é observado uma piora no quadro geral da condição, ao passo que há uma perda na função endotelial.
Perspective on morbidity and mortality of cervical surgery performed in outpatient/same day/ambulatory surgicenters versus inpatient facilities
Authors: Epstein Nancy
Published: July 2021

Background:

This is an updated analysis of the morbidity and mortality of cervical surgery performed in outpatient/same day (OSD) (Postoperative care unit [PACU] observation 4–6 h), and ambulatory surgicenters (ASC: PACU 23 h) versus inpatient facilities (IF).

Methods:

We analyzed 19 predominantly level III (retrospective) and IV (case series) studies regarding the morbidity/mortality of cervical surgery performed in OSC/ASC versus IF.

Results:

A “selection bias” clearly favored operating on younger/healthier patients to undergo cervical surgery in OSD/ASC centers resulting in better outcomes. Alternatively, those selected for cervical procedures to be performed in IF classically demonstrated multiple major comorbidities (i.e. advanced age, diabetes, high body mass index, severe myelopathy, smoking, 3–4 level disease, and other comorbidities) and had poorer outcomes. Further, within the typical 4–6 h. PACU “observation window,” OSD facilities “picked up” most major postoperative complications, and typically showed 0% mortality rates. Nevertheless, the author’s review of 2 wrongful death suits (i.e. prior to 2018) arising from OSD ACDF cervical surgery demonstrated that there are probably many more mortalities occurring following discharges from OSD where cervical operations are being performed that are going underreported/unreported.

Conclusion:

“Selection bias” favors choosing younger/healthier patients to undergoing cervical surgery in OSD/ ASC facilities resulting in better outcomes. Atlernatively, choosing older patients with greater comorbidities for IF surgery correlated with poorer results. Although most OSD cervical series report 0% mortality rates, a review of 2 wrongful death suits by just one neurosurgeon prior to 2018 showed there are probably many more mortalities resulting from OSD cervical surgery than have been reported.
Monitoring the quality of physical education: EuPEO, an ongoing Erasmus+ funded project from the European Physical Education Association
Authors: Scheuer Claude , Holzweg Martin , Repond Rose-Marie , Costa Joao , Onofre Marcos
Published: July 2021

In the past years, the European Physical Education Association (EUPEA) investigated the quality of Physical Education (PE) and School Sport (SS) on several occasions from different perspectives, presented and published as the antecedents of the European Physical Education Observatory (EuPEO) funded by the Erasmus+ Sport programme. Partners from nine countries, including PE teacher associations and research partners, aimed to develop a Europe-wide PE monitoring system by developing the EuPEO webpage, a manual for external assessment (MEA) at Europe-wide and country levels, and a toolkit to prepare and provide internal self-monitoring (TIM) of quality PE and SS at the school level. In general, these two tools intend to provide a comparative view of QPE through common frameworks, tools and processes, while including as much as possible culturally sensitive conditions for QPE implementation, analysis, and decision-making. The core dimensions of the EuPEO framework for QPE were primarily established with an explicit reference to the 2015 UNESCO Quality Physical Education Framework.
Evaluation of basic motor competencies in primary school in Luxembourg
Authors: Scheuer Claude , Bund Andreas , Heck Sandra , Herrmann Christian
Published: July 2021

An objective of physical education (PE) is supporting students’ positive motor development. Therefore, it is indispensable for them to be in command of the necessary basic motor competencies (in German: Motorische Basiskompetenzen; MOBAK) as the prerequisites to be able to participate in the culture of human movement. For the implementation of the MOBAK approach in Luxembourg (MOBAK-LUX), we developed the test instruments MOBAK-LUX-PS for preschoolers, MOBAK-LUX-1 for first graders, MOBAK-LUX-3 for third graders and MOBAK-LUX-5 for fifth graders. These motor tests are conducted on a voluntary basis by interested schools and teachers at the beginning of each school year. In general, about one third of students in the different class levels have support needs in at least one area of basic motor competence. The support needs are prevalent mostly in the area object control and girls generally have lower results than boys, especially in object control.
Modification des pratiques d'enseignement​ de l'EPS : impacts de l’implémentation de formes de pratique scolaire aux secondaires I et II
Authors: Suter Yves , Saillen Lionel , Lenzen Benoît
Published: July 2021

En Suisse romande, l’introduction d’un nouveau plan d’études visant, chez l’élève, le développement de compétences, implique une approche nouvelle de la part des enseignants en EPS. C’est sur la base de ce constat qu’un groupe de chercheurs-formateurs s’est employé à analyser ce que peut impliquer un tel type d’approche en EPS, puis à suivre les différentes étapes de l’appropriation de formes de pratiques scolaires (FPS) répondant à de telles approches, par des enseignants, à différents niveaux de la scolarité. Dans la présente étude, l’analyse porte essentiellement sur les expériences menées par 12 enseignants auprès d’élèves de 15 et de 18 ans, ainsi que sur les processus et degrés d’appropriation par ces enseignants des FPS proposées.

Cette étude met à jour l’effet de levier qu’entraîne l’introduction d’un geste didactique de métier familier chez les PE : le débat d’idées pour initier des pratiques d’enseignement novatrices. Elle souligne la pertinence d’un approfondissement de l’épistémologie pratique pour identifier les contraintes qui pèsent sur la transmission des contenus.
La co-construction d’une unité de sens dans l’action conjointe en Éducation Physique et Sportive (EPS) : quels contenus en jeu dans les interactions ?
Authors: Paven Maël Le , Louis Fabrice , Messina Virginie , Musard Mathilde , Bezeau David
Published: July 2021

Ce symposium s’intéresse à la façon dont les enseignants d’EPS construisent, au sein de la classe, une unité de sens comme unité d’enquête sur et à travers les contenus en jeu, en lien avec des enjeux citoyens. L’approche didactique comparatiste proposée ici s’intéresse à cette enquête mise au service des acquisitions visées dans quatre contextes d’enseignement différents, en croisant plusieurs outils et descripteurs utilisés par la théorie de l’action conjointe en didactique (TACD) sur un corpus de données d’entretien et de leçons filmées. Nous montrons, à travers cette comparaison, comment l’attention conjointe des élèves est portée sur ces enjeux dans une dynamique de projet commun, ce qui nous amène à conclure que cela suppose de la part du professeur une attention à l’attention d’autrui et à ce qui la mobilise, dans la réciprocité de l’engagement conjoint élèves-élèves et professeur-élèves.
Avis des étudiants en éducation physique et du formateur quant au respect des principes PAMIA lors d’un cycle de gymnastique associé à un carnet de suivi de cours
Authors: Theunissen Catherine , Westenbohm Sarah , Cloes Marc
Published: July 2021

La gymnastique scolaire semble perdre du terrain. Le respect de cinq principes méthodologiques (Plaisir, Apprentissage, Mouvement, Interaction, Autonomie = PAMIA) contribuerait à inciter les participants à s’investir dans leurs apprentissages. Vingt-six futurs éducateurs physiques ont suivi une formation conçue afin de les respecter. Cette étude vise à déterminer comment les différents acteurs perçoivent le PAMIA lors des séances. Les items sont évalués par l’enseignant et les étudiants à l’aide d’échelles de Likert. Les étudiants sont également interviewés en fin de cycle. A leurs yeux, le PAMIA représente une base théorique intéressante pour les cours d’EPS. Lors de la pratique, ils se montrent plus positifs que le formateur. La préparation des examens fait l’unanimité avec une autonomie très marquée qui renforce leur responsabilité. Ils suggèrent des améliorations telles que la possibilité de travailler davantage en musique, d’intégrer d’autres nouvelles technologies… et souhaitent une approche semblable dans d’autres disciplines.
Intelligence émotionnelle et relation entraîneur-athlète
Authors: Barre Sophie
Published: July 2021

Cette étude vise à investiguer le lien entre les composantes de l’intelligence émotionnelle (IE) de l’entraîneur et de l’athlète sur la qualité de leur relation. Pour cela, trois questionnaires portant chacun sur un niveau de l’IE sont remplis par les participants, ainsi qu’un questionnaire mesurant la qualité de la relation entraîneur-athlète. Les résultats suggèrent une transmission des connaissances entre les entraîneurs et athlètes, et qu’un haut niveau d’IE-Trait est positivement lié à la qualité de la relation. Les perspectives de l’étude portent sur l’intérêt du développement du trait d’IE des deux acteurs grâce à des programmes d’entraînement, afin d’optimiser l’interdépendance de leur relation sur le long terme.
Les discours à la mi-temps d’entraîneurs de rugby
Authors: Mouchet Alain
Published: July 2021

Nous présentons une recherche collaborative visant à rendre intelligible et transformer l’activité d’entraîneurs expérimentés en compétition, plus particulièrement leurs discours à la mi-temps en match de rugby. L’éclairage du cadre théorique techno-psychophénoménologique permet d’étudier l’activité des entraîneurs en contexte écologique. L’approche multi-méthodes qui articule des observations et des entretiens d’explicitation, permet de cerner à la fois les dimensions observables et les logiques subjectives. L’analyse quantitative des interventions a mis en avant un profil communicationnel commun et des particularités liées au contexte. De plus, la triangulation des données a permis d’identifier des savoirs d’action partagés par les entraîneurs et des styles singuliers de coaching, ainsi que des logiques personnelles d’intervention sous-jacentes aux comportements observables. Cette étude contribue à documenter l’expérience subjective des entraîneurs, avec des savoirs incorporés et implicites. Elle procure aussi des concepts et outils utiles pour la formation des entraîneurs.

We describe a new method of PCNL for the first time for extracting 7 cm renal stone without fragmentation and we called it EN BLOCK PCNL. Our technique had no complication and caused lower operative time and hospital stay.
Neuroprotective role of Beta-asarone: A review
Authors: Vidya C S  , Arehally M Mahlakshmi
Published: July 2021

Acorus calamus (Acoraceae) also known as sweet flag in Indian traditional medicine is generally used for treatment of various ailments like cough, fever, bronchitis, inflammation, depression, tumours, haemorrhoids, skin diseases, insomnia, hysteria, epilepsy, and loss of memory. Asarone is a chemical compound of the phenylpropanoid class found in plants such as Acorus and Asarum. There are two isomers, α (trans) and β (cis). Alpha-asarone is potentially toxic compared to beta-asarone and hence pharmacological elucidation of beta-asarone is wide. Beta-asarone due to its blood brain barrier crossing property it is well elucidated for potential neuroprotective effect. The beneficial properties of beta-asarone are attributed to molecular pathways of endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy and synaptogenesis through IRE1/XBP1 ER stress pathway, mitochondrial ASK1/MKK7/JNK pathway, CaMKII/CREB/Bcl-2 expression and PERK/CHOP/Bcl-2/Beclin-1 pathways. The memory enhancing property of beta-asarone is said to be due to beclin dependent autophagy by PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The aim of this review is to highlight the neuroprotective role of beta asarone in terms of neuroinflammation, apoptosis, neurogenesis and autophagy with special emphasis on two neurodegenerative disorders Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease along with its beneficial property in elucidating synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis. Further research on toxicity and pharmacokinetics of beta-asarone are much needed to bring this potential compound into therapeutic use.

Authors: Dewi Ina Fatina
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this research is to boost teacher pedagogic competence using a mentoring-coaching approach. Three SMPK Immanuel Pontianak teachers participated in the two cycles of action research conducted in the year academic of 2014-2015. This recent research inspects the impact of principal’s approaches on teacher pedagogic competence changes and its hindering factors. The principal’s approaches toward teachers were decided using a Glickman’s diagram, and teacher performance was measured using a rubric to measure their teaching performance. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings indicated that teacher pedagogic was able to rise using this combined technique, although not all subjects were successful in being improved. The other significant findings were (1) the principal’s consistency in applying chosen approach, (2) teachers’ ability to identify their need for improvement. This recent study’s limitations were the minimal number of participants, teacher motivation as the overlooked factor, and the supervisor’s ability to consistently apply the chosen approaches.

Published: July 2021

Violence become a serious problem in this country. All parties including students have been involved in this swirl of problems. The phenomenon of violence in the educational environment can be minimized by internalizing the Living Value Education Program (LVEP) in learning activities. LVEP internalization is carried out as a reference basis in developing resolution models in social studies learning. This article focuses on examining (1) the process of internalizing values in social studies learning, (2) the importance of including LVEP in the learning process, and (3) making LVEP the basis for developing a conflict resolution model. Articles are reviewed using literature study. The results showed that (1) the process of internalizing values in social studies learning was carried out in order to prepare students to become good citizens. (2) LVEP contains universal values such as peace, respect, love, cooperation, happiness, honesty, humility, responsibility, simplicity, tolerance, freedom and unity which can be used as a reference in classroom learning activities. (3) LVEP can be used as a reference in developing a conflict resolution model because it contains values of peace-loving, tolerance, and upholds the value of national unity and integrity
STUDIU PRIVIND ACTIVITATEA DIDACTICĂ ÎN CONTEXTUL PANDEMIC ACTUAL
Authors: Moraru Monica , Miron Anda
Published: July 2021

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational process has undergone significant transformations. Teachers, students, lessons, additional materials, homework, school guidance and discussions displayed new ways of expression, while applications commonly used for communication became working tools. Specialists in the field of education were encouraged to identify the most appropriate scenarios for the specifics of the school and the local context, so that the training and development of students’ competences be continuous, both in accordance with specific school curricula and new ways of organizing the teaching process. The debates about the digitization of education are accentuated by the major structural problems that the Romanian educational system is facing. In many rural schools, especially, the digitization remains a difficult goal to achieve. As the Ministry of Education has recently acknowledged, more than 250,000 students today do not have access to the infrastructure needed for education during the pandemic. Without proactive measures to balance the situation, education during the pandemic is currently discriminating, instead of being an integrative solution. The present study offers a model for conducting online education in a rural school: Secondary School no. 1 in Valu lui Traian, Constanþa County. Through this, we want to show the benefits of online education, but also its limits determined, especially, by the absence of collaboration and direct communication between teachers, students and parents in a space suitable for the educational process: namely the school and the class of students.

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE ONLINIFICATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
Authors: Năznean Adrian
Published: July 2021

Online education is of various types and can be defined in numerous ways. Over the last few decades, online education has gained popularity, but has also been regarded with reluctance and scepticism as to the benefits it may have. The COVID- 19 pandemic was declared on the 11th of March 2020 and forced many countries to impose lockdowns and restrictions. As such, several activities were shut down, schools and universities were closed, thus, the need for rapid solutions arose. Since the online environment was there for the taking, physical classrooms were virtualised overnight, homes became learning and teaching spaces for students and educators, whereas the latter were faced with adapting content and transferring it in order to suit its delivery via online platforms. With little to no experience in online education, educators sought to find ways to continue their work bringing emergency modifications. Although digital transformation is not a new phenomenon, the transit from physical classrooms to online ones has been and still is a rough learning curve for many educators. Apart from optimising digital technology to apply to education, another difficult task of any online teacher is to keep students motivated and involved, which can be achieved in different ways. This article discusses methods of content and course delivery, the technology-induced problems that online teaching implies, assessment, ethical behaviour in a virtual setting, and the risk of cheating in online examinations, as well as ways of preventing cheating. Nevertheless, the abrupt onlinification of education may lie at the basis of future exploration and research.

The objective of this study is to analyse the game-related statistics that differentiate winning and losing teams, according to the finale game scores in a men’s university basketball league. Samples were gathered from the archival data of the 2019–2020 regular season of the league. Sixteen game-related statistics were analysed: two- and three-point field-goals (both successful and unsuccessful), free-throws (both successful and unsuccessful), defensive and offensive rebounds, assists, steals, turnover, blocks, second-chance points, fast break points, fouls committed and received. The data were clustered into different game types based on the final outcome point differences: all games, balanced games (11 points and below) and unbalanced games (12 points and above). Discriminant function analysis was conducted to identify the performance indicators that classify winning and losing games. The results revealed that winning and losing in balanced games were discriminated by successful two-point field goals, unsuccessful two-point field goals, unsuccessful three-point field goals, successful free-throws, assists, steals, blocks, second-chance points, fast-break points, fouls committed, and fouls received. For unbalanced games, winning and losing were distinguished by successful two-point field goals, successful three-point field goals, successful free-throws, unsuccessful free-throws, defensive rebounds, blocks, fast-break points, and fouls received. In conclusion, offensive and defensive indices are critical to winning and losing in university-level basketball.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Immersion and Watsu® therapy protocols on children with cerebral palsy. Gross motor function (GMF), spasticity (MAS), and Quality of Life (QoL) parameters of twenty-three children (age: 7.5±2.8, BMI: 17±3.7) were measured. Subjects received Watsu® therapy and Immersion protocols in Watsu-Immersion (W-I, n=12) and Immersion-Watsu (I-W n=11) groups in different periods based on a crossover design. The subjects received sessions for 30 minutes twice a week during 10-week experimental periods. The results were investigated with independent sample t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, which showed that there was no evidence of carryover effects in GMFM 88 and QoL. In contrast, Watsu® improved GMFM 88 (p<0.05), Quality of Life (p<0.05), and MAS-Upper spasticity (p<0.05), scores significantly compared to immersion. The current results demonstrated the specific benefits of Watsu® therapy on children with CP, confirming the previous anecdotal reports. We recommend Watsu® as a safe and well-accepted complementary intervention for the management of CP.

A fauna edáfica desempenha funções ecológicas fundamentais na interface solo-serapilheira, sendo dependente das condições ambientais que está inserida. Neste sentido, este estudo objetivou avaliar a diversidade de organismos epiedáficos em fragmentos florestais de Araucaria angustifolia na região Sudoeste do Paraná sob diferentes condições edafoclimáticas. A amostragem da fauna foi realizada em três áreas com diferentes condições edafoclimáticas, em função da variação da altitude, nos municípios de Dois Vizinhos, Pato Branco e Mangueirinha, Sudoeste do PR. Instalou-se oito armadilhas de queda em cada fragmento que permaneceram a campo por um período de sete dias. Os organismos amostrados foram identificados com auxílio de lupa binocular e chaves dicotômicas de classificação. Em cada ponto de coleta também amostrou-se o solo na camada de 0-10 cm para avaliação dos atributos químicos do solo. As diferentes condições edafoclimáticas na região Sudoeste do Paraná não afetam significativamente a abundância, riqueza e a diversidade de organismos epiedáficos associados a fragmentos florestais de Araucaria angustifolia. Porém, a temperatura interferiu na dinâmica de decomposição da matéria orgânica do solo. Epiedaphic fauna associated with Araucaria angustifolia forest fragments in different edaphoclimatic conditions in the state of Paraná A B S T R A C TThe edaphic fauna plays fundamental ecological functions in the soil-litter interface, being dependent on the environmental conditions that are inserted. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the diversity of epiedaphic organisms in forest fragments of Araucaria angustifolia in the Southwest region of Paraná under different edaphoclimatic conditions. The fauna sampling was carried out in three areas with different edaphoclimatic conditions, depending on the altitude variation, in the municipalities of Dois Vizinhos, Pato Branco and Mangueirinha, Southwest of PR. Eight drop traps were installed in each fragment that remained in the field for a period of seven days. The sampled organisms were identified with the aid of a binocular loupe and dichotomous classification keys. At each collection point, the soil was also sampled in the 0-10 cm layer to assess the chemical attributes of the soil. The different edaphoclimatic conditions in the Southwest region of Paraná do not significantly affect the abundance, richness and diversity of epiedaphic organisms associated with forest fragments of Araucaria angustifolia. However, the temperature interfered in the decomposition dynamics of the soil organic matter.Keywords: soil biota, Atlantic Forest, invertebrates, bioindicators
Weather Reasearch and Forecasting Model Simulation of a Snowfall Event in Southern Brazil

Published: July 2021

This study evaluates the ability of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model to simulate a snowfall event in the southern Brazil. The event in August 2013 was considered one of the most intense in recent years in the region with the highest topographic elevations between the states of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and Santa Catarina (SC). The Snowfall in the mountain region of RS and SC was associated with the configuration involving a polar anticyclone and the intensification of an extratropical cyclone over the Atlantic Ocean. The WRF simulation results demonstrated the model's viability to predict the event, but without the magnitude representation of the phenomenon. The simulations represented few snow accumulations, with a maximum value of 1.2 mm, and occurred in only two meteorological monitoring stations among the seven evaluated, differently from what was reported in the media. These results may be linked to the simulation of the warmer air temperature near to the surface in relation to the observations, and consequently to the increase in the simulation of precipitation in liquid form. These results were attributed to the choice of WRF Single–moment 6–class (WSM6) microphysics and in the Noah Land Surface Model scheme. Despite these limitations, WRF has proved to be an important tool for predicting the spatial and temporal distribution of snowfall and precipitation in the higher regions of southern Brazil.

Intisari
Turbulensi yang dialami oleh pesawat komersial rute Jakarta-Medan telah dilaporkan mengalami Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) di atas Sumatera Utara pada tanggal 24 Oktober 2017. Namun berdasarkan data citra satelit Himawari dari Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG) Indonesia menyebutkan bahwa di sekitar lokasi turbulensi terdapat awan kumulonimbus. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan model WRF-ARW dengan resolusi spasial dan temporal tinggi untuk mengetahui secara detail proses yang terjadi pada awan konvektif penyebab Near Cloud Turbulence (NCT). Turbulensi tersebut disebabkan oleh bilangan Richardson rendah yang terbentuk di wilayah udara jernih (clear air) yang berjarak 300-700 m di atas puncak awan dan diperkuat dengan adanya Turbulensi Energi Kinetik (TKE) mencapai 4,4 m2 / s2 dan geser angin vertikal (VWS) oleh arus keluar awan konvektif. 
Abstract
Turbulence encountered by commercial aircraft Jakarta-Medan routes has been reported that experienced Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) over North Sumatra on October 24th, 2017. However, based on Himawari satellite imagery data produced by Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG), Indonesia stated that there was a cumulonimbus cloud around the turbulence location. This study utilizes WRF-ARW models with a high spatial and temporal resolution to find out in detail the processes that occur in convective clouds causing Near Cloud Turbulence (NCT). The turbulence was caused by a low Richardson number formed in the clear-air area, which has a distance of 300 - 700 m above the cloud top and reinforced by the existence of Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) reaching 4,4 m2/s2 and vertical wind shear (VWS) by deep convection’s outflow.
Echoes of Terrorism in Today’s U.S. Classrooms
Authors: Stoddard Jeremy
Published: July 2021

Nearly 20 years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York, Washington D.C., and Shanksville, PA there is a yearly ritual in a majority of US Schools. On the anniversary each year, teachers and students across the US learn about the attacks and memorialize the events. In many classrooms this is done through witnessing the events much like in 2001 for most of the world – through watching news or documentary footage of the events. In this article I use Hall’s concepts of encoding and decoding as well and socio-cultural theories to read these media representations both in the context of 2001 and again 20 years later to understand how these events are placed into broader narratives of US history. Many teachers today focus on the shock and horror of the events, an approach I argue is problematic as the affective response is emphasized over the historical context and consequences.  Instead of using these media to foster collective memory, they could instead be viewed as primary sources to inquire into the historical context of the events and response in the form of the Global War on Terror. This approach would allow students to better understand the events leading to the attacks and the impact that the resulting responses by the US and other Western nations have had on their lives and the lives of others around the globe (e.g., Islamaphobia). After 20 years of conflict after these attacks it is time to both remember the victims of 9/11 as well as understand why it happened and the global toll of the response.
KULINER, TUBUH, DAN IDENTITAS: SEBUAH PEMBACAAN GASTRO-SEMIOTIKA TERHADAP SEPILIHAN PUISI KARYA HANNA FRANSISCA/CULINARY, BODY, AND IDENTITY: A SEMIOTIC-GASTROCRITICAL READING TO HANNA FRANSISCA’S SELECTED POEM
Authors: Zamzuri Ahmad
Published: July 2021

AbstrakMakanan pada era kiwari tidak lagi sekadar hidangan, tetapi menjadi perantara munculnya beragam tafsir. Hanna Fransisca menjadi salah seorang penyair yang memanfaatkan khazanah kuliner dalam puisi. Artikel ini mengulas tiga puisi pilihan karya Hanna Fransisca, yaitu “Bakpao Tionghoa”, “Kambing Guling”, dan “Tumis Paru”. Penelitian ini menyoal kuliner dalam puisi yang dibaca melalui perspektif gastrokritik dengan menggunakan metode semiotika Rolland Barthes. Penelitian ini berusaha mengungkap makna kuliner dalam ketiga puisi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kuliner dalam puisi “Bakpao Tionghoa”, “Kambing Guling”, dan “Tumis Paru” menyoal tubuh. Bakpao dan kambing guling menjadi medium penarasian tubuh yang tidak memiliki otoritas gerak di ruang sosial. Tubuh disepadankan bakpao yang cenderung diposisikan sebagai objek konsumtif.  Tubuh dalam “Kambing Guling” hadir sebagai tubuh dalam ruang teritori yang cenderung mengekang kebebasan sebagai subjek. “Tumis Paru” menjadi medium penarasian tubuh yang telah terbebas dari penjara badani. Dalam hal identitas, ketiga puisi menarasikan identitas Tionghoa yang identik berkulit cerah dan berada pada ruang-ruang stereotip. Kuliner dalam ketiga puisi tersebut menjadi medium kritik, upaya protes, dan sindiran terhadap praktik-praktik warisan kolonial yang membedakan status dan identitas. Kata kunci: identitas, kuliner, tubuh, Tionghoa, gastrokritik, semiotik AbstractFood in the recent era is no longer just a dish, but an intermediary for various interpretations. One of the poets who have used culinary treasures in the world of poetry is Hanna Fransisca. This article reviews selected poems by Hanna Fransisca entitled "Bakpao Tionghoa", "Kambing Guling", and "Tumis Paru". This research examines culinary in poetry through a gastro-critical perspective using the semiotic method of Rolland Barthes. This research attempts to reveal the culinary meaning in the three poems. The results showed that the culinary in the poetry "Bakpao Tionghoa", "Kambing Guling", and "Tumis Paru" shows body problems. Bakpao and Kambing guling become a medium for body narration which does not have the authority in social space. The body, through bakpao, is to be positioned as a consumptive object. Meanwhile, the body in “Kambing Guling” is present as a body in territorial space which tends to restrain freedom as a subject. “Tumis Paru” becomes a medium for narrating the body that has been freed from physical prison. In terms of identity, the three poems narrate a Chinese identity that is identical with bright skin and exists in stereotypical spaces. The culinary in the three poems is a medium of criticism, protest, and satire against colonial heritage practices that differentiate status and identity. Keywords: identity, culinary, body, Tionghoa, gastrocritics, semiotics
