Dynamics analysis of building block synthesis reactions for virus assembly in vitro
Authors: Liu Yuewu , Zeng Mengfang , Liu Shengyong , Li Chun
Published: December 2022

Virus assembly from structural protein monomers to virus shells is a key step of virus replication. Some drug targets were found in this process. It consists of two steps. Virus structural protein monomers firstly polymerize to building blocks, then these building blocks assemble into virus shells. So, these building block synthesis reactions in the first step are fundamental for virus assembly. Typically, virus building blocks are made up of less than six monomers. They are of five types, including dimer, trimer, tetramer, pentamer and hexamer. In this work, we develop five synthesis reaction dynamical models for these five types, respectively. Then, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the positive equilibrium solution for these dynamical models one by one. Subsequently, we also analyze the stability of the equilibrium states, respectively. We got the function of monomer and dimer concentrations for dimer building blocks in the equilibrium state. We also got the function of all intermediate polymers and monomers for trimer, tetramer, pentamer and hexamer building blocks in the equilibrium state, respectively. Based on our analysis, dimer building blocks in the equilibrium state will decrease as the ratio of the off-rate constant to the on-rate constant increases. Trimer building blocks in the equilibrium state will decrease with the increasing ratio of the off-rate constant to the on-rate constant of trimers. These results may provide further insight into the virus-building block synthesis dynamic property in vitro.

Authors: Ban Hassan Majeed
Published: December 2022

The research aims to find the impact of a proposed strategy according to the Luria model on realistic thinking among fifth-class scientific students and their achievement in mathematics. To achieve it, the experimental research method and the quasi-experimental design were used for two equal groups, one of them is a control group taught in traditional way and the other is an experimental one taught according to strategy based on Luria model. The research community represents the students of the fifth scientific class from the General Directorate of Education of Karkh First. The research sample (40) students were deliberately chosen and distributed equally between the two groups after making sure that they were equals in their previous achievement in mathematics, their level of intelligence, and their chronological age. For the purpose of collecting data for the experiment, 2 test were built both of them were objective, i.e., multiple choice; a realistic thinking test consisted of (15) items, in addition to the achievement test, which in its final form consisted of (20). The results indicated that the students of the experimental group who studied according to the proposed strategy outperformed the students of the control group who studied by usual method. In light of the results, the researcher recommended a number of recommendations.

Published: December 2022

With the advances in data communication, high speed internet in terabits per second, and the coming next generation (6G), where the data rate will be very sufficient for virtual reality application such as telepresence and tele-operation, the old-new concept of virtual university will be revolutionized. This paper presents a review for one type of distance learning, which is online synchronous education supported by multimedia and Virtual Reality (VR) or simply a virtual university (VU) or Virtual Classroom (VC). We review the concept of the VU for the past and how it will be in the coming futures. We review, its types, component, and how it will be. Furthermore, we review and discussed next generation VU/VC obstacles in addition to their cons and pros. Moreover, we examine the motivation for establishing VU/VC and the advantages of its availability to the virtual society. Recent advances in computer and communications technology have delivered capabilities to today’s distance learning and virtual classroom. Advances in virtual reality, real-time streaming on the internet have created a revolution in curricula and classrooms. We explain how to integrate multimedia, 3D videos, Virtual Reality (VR), tele-operation, tele-presence, and Internet-based learning technologies into a common framework for the virtual classroom
Detection of Printed Circuit Board Defects on ENIG and ENIPIG Surface Finishes with Convolutional Neural Networks and Evaluation of Training Parameters
Authors: Hable Angelika , Tabatabai Paul , Lichtenegger Hannah L. , Scherr Anton , Krivec Thomas , Gruber Dieter P.
Published: December 2022

Increasingly high demands are being placed on the quality inspection of printed circuit boards (PCBs). A full surface inspection of all produced PCBs and a high defect detection accuracy of the inspection system are becoming prerequisites for an efficient quality management. At the same time, the demand for PCBs is constantly increasing over the years due to the high demand for electrical devices. Human inspection is no longer feasible due to the high production rates and required defect detection accuracy. Therefore, automatic inspection systems are increasingly used for quality control in the various process steps of PCB production. In this article, the first automatic inspection system for detecting defects on Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) and Electroless Nickel Immersion Palladium Immersion Gold (ENIPIG) surfaces is presented. A pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) and the sliding window approach are used. A training dataset consisting of six different defect types and an OK class containing only defect-free PCB images was labeled for this classification problem. The hyperparameters learning rate and batch size are varied for different training runs of the CNN, and the performance of the network in PCB defect detection is evaluated using a test dataset. The true-positive rate, truenegative rate, and F1-score were analyzed for the evaluation. Our results show that the best performances could be achieved at low batch sizes and low learning rates.

Overview of age constraints for gold mineralization in central and western Newfoundland and new 40Ar/39Ar ages for muscovite from selected auriferous zones
Authors: Sandeman Hamish A.I. , Honsberger Ian W. , Camacho Alfredo
Published: December 2022

This contribution presents new 40Ar/39Ar laser step-heating data for muscovite associated with four significant orogenic gold-mineralized zones in central and western Newfoundland to build upon existing geochronological constraints for orogenic gold mineralization across much of the Newfoundland Appalachians. Additionally, we provide the first 40Ar/39Ar laser step-heating data for detrital muscovite from gold-mineralized sandstone of the Wigwam Formation (Botwood Group) at the Moosehead gold prospect. Most known gold zones on the isIand occur in proximity to reactivated crustal-scale faults and related structures, and are commonly localized within competent, rigid lithological units (e.g., granitoid rocks); although, some vein systems cut less competent, clastic sedimentary rock sequences. Host rocks range in age from Neoproterozoic to Devonian and may extend into the Carboniferous. Robust Pragian to Emsian (ca. 410–375 Ma) rutile, muscovite and zircon ages constrain the timing of gold mineralization in parts of the Exploits Subzone, whereas less precise age estimates for gold mineralization in the Notre Dame Subzone and Laurentian margin range from Wenlock to Emsian (ca. 433–375 Ma). Collectively, the geochronological data suggest that fluid-pressure cycling associated with gold mineralization in central and western Newfoundland occurred during progressive Siluro-Devonian tectonics associated with the waning stages of the Salinic orogenic cycle and spanning the Acadian and Neoacadian orogenic cycles. Multiple, polyphase, overlapping orogenic events allowed for repeated, gold mineralizing fluid flow events, particularly in proximity to long-lived, reactivated crustal-scale fault zones.
Competitive Shortage Management, Global Markets & Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Brondoni Silvio M.
Published: December 2022

Traditionally, competitiveness is mainly described in terms of costs. In effect, costs are a strategic issue for businesses to survive and stand out. The deployment of profit costs is becoming strategically important to be sustainable and competitive in the global markets. In today’s scenario of global ‘hypercompetition’, one of the most important changes in industrial organisation is the transition from multinational corporations (MNCs) to global networks. In a global market-space, the corporate responsibility is thus as a sense of the corporation’s consciousness towards hypothetical consequences of its planned actions (in domestic/international markets) in view on organisation’s long-term vitality.

Published: December 2022

Wellbeing is undoubtedly fundamentally important to society and businesses. The current health situation has placed the question of people’s health at the heart of day-to-day discussions, albeit on a different level. The deaths, suffering and hardship associated with the pandemic, and the urgency to deal with them, have brought about the reawakening of a general awareness, a renewed sensitivity to people’s wellbeing. Although a good thing, it has been attenuated by the effects of the pandemic and also the lifestyle that could cause many more victims.
Sustainability Through the “Nested” Luxury Retail Experience
Authors: Pasquinelli Cecilia , Rovai Serena
Published: December 2022

The sustainable luxury retailing debate remains in its infancy, with a gap concerning the modalities to integrate sustainability into the luxury retail brand experience. This paper aims to shed light on the sustainability implications for competitive luxury stores embedded in their hosting cities. It addressed the relationship between place and luxury retailing, discussing the research hypothesis of the store-hosting city connections as modalities to integrate sustainability into the luxury store experience. This study proposes two case studies, Favotell in Shanghai (China) and Luisaviaroma in Florence (Italy). A cross-case analysis supports the definition of a multi-level framework explaining the concept store experience. The three “nested” spatial levels are the store, the fashion city and the urban brandscape. Findings reveal drivers facilitating, differentiating, and innovating the luxury store experience and suggest research avenues on the social and territorial dimensions of sustainable retailing.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and occurs worldwide, especially in underdeveloped countries. It’s also strongly associated with cervical cancer. Papanicolaou test is an important tool for early diagnosis of such cancer. Hence, our objective is to evaluate women's knowledge about Pap smear, as well as about HPV transmission and clinical manifestations. This literature integrative review used the following research platforms: PubMed/Medline, SciELO and Virtual Health Library (BVS). Among the articles analyzed there were a total of 7,441 women, which mean age was over 16 years. Twenty percent of those had only high school education. Regarding knowledge about HPV, only 22% of the participants knew about it and 27% reported knowing about the Papanicolaou exam. It is concluded that socioeconomic factors are extremely relevant because they influence the incidence of HPV in society, emphasizing that knowledge about the Pap test and its purpose directly influences women’s acceptance to perform it.
The Lord's Supper Revisited
Authors: Jessica
Published: December 2022

The Lord’s Supper is probably one of the most vital elements in Christianity. However, churches nowadays witness two extreme attitudes in approaching the Lord’s Supper: one that over-sacralizes the ceremony as something mystical or magical while the other simply takes it as a ritual or memorial. While both notions are not wrong in some sense, the ceremony in fact falls somewhere in the middle. Eucharist involved two important dimensions: it is a meal, and it is a “sacrificial” meal. The ordinary and the religious aspects both exist within the eucharist.

In the records of the Last Supper, Jesus ate the Passover “meal” with His disciples and reinstituted it. From then on, the early church celebrated the Lord’s Supper, gathering and breaking bread in houses, which was then known as agape—a love feast. However, what we witness in today’s Lord’s Supper is nowhere close to the original Last Supper or the early Christian agape feast. It becomes a ceremony without a meal; a celebration without a feast. It is ironic that the so-called “supper” only involves a wafer-like bread and a really small cup of wine. It is the absence of a “meal” that this ceremony becomes more and more detached. The Lord’s Supper becomes difficult to understand because of the emphasis on its sacredness. The ceremony remains a ritual as the “sacred” is separated from the “secular”.

It is the contention of this study that the separation of the love feast from the ceremony of the Lord’s Supper that render it meaningless. This study aims to uncover the context and history of the Lord’s Supper, especially the significance of a feast or meal in the eucharist, and how it was lost in the course of history. We will see that it is in the context of a meal that the early church celebrates the eucharist, a thanksgiving in the form of a love feast. It is in the context of a meal that Jesus introduced His body and blood in the Last Supper. It is in the context of a meal that God commanded the Israelites to observe the Passover. When we approach the Lord’s Table without a proper meal, the eating of the “bread” and “wine” without context becomes a ritual without reality.

Finally, suggestions are given to better approach the Lord’s Table, and hopefully regain the meaning and spirit of the ceremony.
Mungkinkah Dual Belonging sebagai Alternatif Mencapai Kesempurnaan Rohani?
Authors: Hulu Bedali
Published: December 2022

Dual belonging  merupakan sebuah realitas di tengah masyarakat yang terbentuk melalui interaksi sosial, budaya dan juga tatanan keluarga. Khususnya di Asia, termasuk Indonesia, praktik dual belonging bukanlah suatu hal yang baru. Realitas tersebut juga telah menjadi fokus penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Paul F. Knitter, Rose Drew, dan Catherine Cornille. Interaksi pribadi Knitter, Drew, dan Cornille terhadap realitas keberagaman agama yang terintegrasi dalam kehidupan masyarakat secara sosial dan budaya (khususnya di Asia) memberikan sebuah nilai tambah dalam membangun dialog dan kerja sama antarumat beragama dan bahkan memberikan manfaat dalam pertumbuhan spiritualitas. Knitter dan Drew menilai bahwa dual belonging menjadi sebuah tradisi yang baik dan positif. Bahkan Knitter sendiri melalui pengalamannya memberi kesimpulan bahwa dual belonging merupakan alternatif mencapai spiritualitas yang baik. Sekalipun Cornille secara mayoritas setuju dengan praktik ritual dual belonging yang bermanfaat untuk peningkatan spiritualitas, namun dia meragukan komitmen dan penyerahan diri seseorang yang menjalankan dual belonging secara bersamaan. Tentu saja hal tersebut disebabkan karena perspektif Cornille lebih pada multiple religious identification ketimbang dual belonging. Dalam perkembangannya, praktik dual belonging masih menimbulkan keraguan dan ketegangan di antara pemeluk agama-agama yang ada. Seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Laksana, praktik dual belonging memang telah menjadi tradisi yang baik di Asia termasuk Indonesia walaupun masih menimbulkan ketegangan. Sekalipun demikian, praktik dual belonging seperti ziarah di Indonesia dapat memberi manfaat bagi pertumbuhan spiritualitas berdasarkan keyakinan agama asalinya. Oleh sebab itu, dapat dikatakan bahwa dual belonging dalam level pengalaman religius masih dapat diterima. Tetapi, untuk level kognitif, klaim keunikan sulit dijembatani.
Transformasi bagi Seorang Peziarah
Authors: Eliata Stephen Rehmalem
Published: December 2022

Perkembangan teologi dan filsafat sejak abad ke-20 hingga saat ini telah gagal untuk membentuk sebuah relasi yang harmonis. Kegagalan tersebut dapat dilihat dari konsep Reformed Epistemology  (RE) dari tradisi Reformed yang berusaha untuk menjembatani keduanya, namun tanpa sadar telah mendiskreditkan nature yang justru berujung pada fundamentalisme agama. Dampak ini pun menghasilkan berbagai krisis, di antaranya adalah krisis ekologi, sosial, budaya dan ekonomi. Berangkat dari permasalahan ini maka penulis akan mencoba untuk menemukan jembatan atas pemisahan antara teologi dan filsafat melalui theologia viatorum dari tradisi Reformed abad ke-17 dan filsafat fenomenologi dari Emmanuel Falque. Penulis berpendapat bahwa melalui perjumpaan antar kedua bidang ilmu ini maka akan tercipta relasi yang harmonis antara teologi dan filsafat, serta dapat menciptakan sebuah transformasi bagi umat Kristen, atau yang disebut sebagai peziarah (viator). Transformasi ini dapat membawa setiap umat Kristen untuk mewujudkan final end dari teologi, menurut tradisi Reformed, yaitu untuk menyembah dan memuliakan Allah di tengah dunia.
Gereja yang Mendengar
Authors: Sinaga Lamria
Published: December 2022

Emosi malu, salah, dan takut merupakan keadaan emosi yang paling umum dan normal dari kehidupan manusia. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi emosi malu dan bagaimana gereja memanfaatkannya dalam berteologi. Emosi malu lebih banyak dibicarakan dalam bidang psikologi dan konseling untuk alasan terapi. Sementara itu, tradisi agama, secara khusus gereja, “dengan idealisasinya,” memiliki kecenderungan memperburuk emosi malu yang mengakibatkan orang yang menderita malu menjauh dari gereja dan bahkan “menghilang.” Asumsinya, gereja kurang memahami malu sehingga cenderung tidak memanfaatkannya dalam berteologi. Dengan menggunakan metode berteologi konstruktif dengan metode penelitian kualitatif berdasarkan metode kerja studi pustaka, artikel ini akan mendialogkan pemahaman emosi malu dan relevansinya dalam berteologi pastoral. Pada akhirnya, artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa emosi malu bukanlah jurang pemisah di antara manusia dan Allah melainkan ruang bertemu dengan Allah yang sempurna dalam kerapuhan dan penderitaan manusia melalui gereja yang mendengar.
Clinical Application and Initial Response of Seizures and Epilepsy in the Hospital Setting – An Educational Tool for Medical Students
Authors: Jonathan Doan  , Dr. Irfan Sheikh  , Ajaz Sheikh  , Dr. Mehmood Rashid
Published: December 2022

Introduction:  At the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, 3rd year medical students experience the field of neurology through a 5-week clerkship and rotate through different inpatient services along with outpatient clinics.  Students receive didactic lectures from senior faculty members prior to clinic about various neurological topics to supplement their in-clinic learning.  Students also receive clinical setting-based teaching through the residents they work with.  In this research project, we focus on the impact of resident led inpatient lectures on clinical knowledge and management of seizures. 
Methods: 3rd year medical students rotating on the neurology clerkship at University of Toledo were divided into two groups - if they received a resident-led didactic lecture or not.  They were then given an online link to an optional anonymous survey.  Students rated their perceived competency on a Likert scale of “strongly agree (high score)” to “strongly disagree (low score)” on how to clinically identify seizures or epilepsy and initial management.  Additionally, students were given several examples of seizure management and using the same scale, asked if they agreed or disagreed.
Results:  3rd year medical students who received the resident-led didactic lecture on seizure and epilepsy clinical application and initial management scored higher on average on the survey, with statistical significance (p<0.05) seen when asked to clinically identify a seizure and how to record a seizure event in the hospital setting. 
Discussion: Resident-led didactic lectures in the hospital setting can provide an additional educational tool to 3rd year medical students on their neurology rotation.  This may be helpful for students to link their classroom-based knowledge to clinical application towards seizure and epilepsy patients on the wards.
Postmodern Challenge of Historiography in Contemporary Canadian Fiction:
Authors: Fonfárová Vladimíra
Published: December 2022

As defined by Georg G. Iggers and promoted by Hayden White, the postmodern challenge of historiography calls into question the objective enquiry and truth value of history writing. Many works of fiction have embodied this trend, embracing the challenge by exploring objectivity and the retrievability of the past. In contemporary Canadian literature, such cases are also to be found. The novel Weird Sister (1999) by Kate Pullinger thematizes history and history writing, utilizes Gothic elements, and employs the elements of historiographic metafiction, e.g. as characterized by Linda Hutcheon. The book features characters representing the so‐called silent voices whose testimony had remained lost in the official historical record. This paper aims to show that the depiction of the impossibility of uncovering the truth about the past represents a significant contribution by contemporary fiction authors to the postmodern challenge of historiography, with Pullinger’s novel emerging as a notable contribution to this discourse.
Social Impact of the American Eugenics Movement
Authors: Pohlová Hedvika
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the American eugenics movement and the manifestation of its ideas in society. Americaneugenics thought is mainly characterized by its strong focus on the elimination of socially undesirable individuals. The two main targets of American eugenics, the feebleminded and new immigrants, are discussed in this text, with the main focus legally implemented measures such as forced sterilization and restrictions on immigration, along with the legacy of these actions. This examination of American eugenics points out a clear continuity with Nazi ideology, an association which in the end also contributed to the fall of the official American eugenics movement. To explore the theoretical framework of the movement, works by Charles Davenport and Madison Grant are examined.
Competencia lingüística y habilidades sociales. Una mirada exploratoria en la educación universitaria
Authors: Mantilla Falcón Luis Marcelo , Valencia Núñez Edison Roberto , Mantilla Falcón Mery Susana
Published: December 2022

En los procesos de formación académica, en la acción educativa, en la convivencia escolar y familiar, el manejo de la comunicación lingüística es fundamental, por eso se habla de competencia lingüística, como aquella capacidad para comunicarse en contexto, donde se pone en juego las habilidades de comprensión y expresión oral y escrita, más la interacción oral, que permiten vincular saberes, haceres y actitudes en el marco de interpretación de la realidad material y social. Este manejo del lenguaje le suma otra acción vital en el ser humano denominada habilidad social que le permite manejar las relaciones interpersonales con efectividad y objetividad. El propósito principal del estudio consistió en determinar la relación entre la Competencia lingüística y las Habilidades sociales en estudiantes que inician la carrera universitaria. El presente trabajo de titulación tiene una profunda investigación de campo y documental, con carácter descriptivo, correlacional y explicativo. En este estudio participaron 142 estudiantes de la Facultad de Contabilidad y Auditoría de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Se aplicó dos pruebas debidamente validados y metodológicamente aceptados en los contextos internacionales. Los cuestionarios son de opción múltiple bajo la estructura de escala de Likert. Los resultados más importantes evidencian que hay una correlación positiva moderada entre la Competencia lingüística y las Habilidades sociales y que la intervención, en procesos pedagógicos, son importantes para el fortalecimiento del manejo del lenguaje y los actos comunicativos. Se concluye que las intervenciones pedagógicas debidamente planificadas tienen una importancia relevante en la formación y capacitación de los futuros profesionales.
Socijalna epistemologija studija sigurnosti
Authors: Pandžić Josip
Published: December 2022

Struktura proizvodnje znanja o nacionalnoj i međunarodnoj sigurnosti, kao opravdanog istinitog vjerovanja u pitanjima od egzistencijalnog značaja društava, država i globalnog političkog poretka, predstavlja legitiman predmet istraživanja utemeljenog na socijalnoepistemološkom i sociološkom pristupu. Polazeći od sociologizirane javnopolitičke tematizacije režima znanja u političkoj ekonomiji i ekonomskoj politici, u ovome su radu teorijski ocrtani režimi sigurnosnog znanja. Ponajprije u odnosu na konstelaciju istraživačkih organizacija u tom području javnih politika, proizvodnja sigurnosnog znanja nije obilježena varijabilnim utjecajem akademskih, zagovaračkih, stranačkih i državnih organizacija već dominantno državnih, poludržavnih i nadasve uz državu vezanih aktera. Od potonjih se ističu obavještajne službe s obzirom na to da je znanje temeljem kojeg kreatori politika i donositelji odluka u sigurnosnoj politici postupaju često skriveno i nedostupno javnosti te stoga nije podložno demokratskim procedurama i javnom mnijenju. Sigurnosni se režimi znanja, zbog središnjeg mjesta obavještajnog djelovanja, znanja i organizacija u području sigurnosti, shvaćaju kao režimi obavještajnog znanja. Zaključno se rekapituliraju glavni nalazi rada te predlažu pitanja za buduća istraživanja režima sigurnosnog znanja.

Published: December 2022

Porast broja populističkih stranaka bilježi se osamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća i u teoriji se pojavljuje nekoliko vrsta populizama. S jedne strane neki populizam promatraju kao ideologiju utemeljenu na pozitivnoj ocjeni ljudi i negativnoj ocjeni političkih elita dok s druge strane neki prepoznaju populizam kao stil političke komunikacije odnosno učestalo pozitivno pozivanje na ljude ili korištenje određenih jezičnih figura usmjerenih na upoznavanje birača. Potonje tumačenje populizma bilo je teorijska podloga za ovo istraživanje u kojem autorice, analizirajući stupanj populizma u Hrvatskom saboru, odgovaraju na pitanje ima li populističke komunikacije u Hrvatskom saboru metodom kvalitativne analize fonograma zastupničkih pitanja i replika na odgovore vlade na aktualnim prijepodnevima zastupnika 10. saziva Hrvatskog sabora od 16. rujna 2020. do 20. travnja 2022. Cilj je rada temeljem teorijske podloge Jagersa i Walgravea sveobuhvatno istražiti elemente populističkog diskursa kod zastupnika svih političkih parlamentarnih stranaka, od lijevog do krajnje desnog političkog spektra.
Defining Traffic Scenarios for the Visually Impaired
Authors: Jakob Judith , Kugele Kordula , Tick József
Published: December 2022

For the development of a transfer concept of camera-based object detections from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to the assistance of the visually impaired, we define relevant traffic scenarios and vision use cases by means of problem-centered interviews with four experts and ten members of the target group. We identify the six traffic scenarios: general orientation, navigating to an address, crossing a road, obstacle avoidance, boarding a bus, and at the train station clustered into the three categories: Orientation, Pedestrian, and Public Transport. Based on the data, we describe each traffic scenario and derive a summarizing table adapted from software engineering resulting in a collection of vision use cases. The ones that are also of interest in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – Bicycle, Crosswalk, Traffic Sign, Traffic Light (State), Driving Vehicle, Obstacle, and Lane Detection – build the foundation of our future work. Furthermore, we present social insights that we gained from the interviews and discuss the indications we gather by considering the importance of the identified use cases for each interviewed member of the target group.

Published: December 2022

Strongly enforced mobility restrictions to deter the spread of COVID-19 severely impacted tourism, a pivotal economic sector of the Balearic Islands. Little is known about the experiences of the most economically affected groups, such as hotel housekeepers. This study aimed to explore the experiences and concerns of hotel housekeepers (approximately 13,000 worked in the Balearic Islands before the pandemic) during the first stages of the COVID-19 lockdown. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by telephone in April of 2020. Thematic analysis was used for interpretation. Eighteen hotel housekeepers were interviewed. Main experiences and concerns identified were: (a) distress due to employment status and economic situation, (b) concerns for children’s education, (c) health-related concerns, mainly regarding the possibility of infecting someone, and (d) feelings related to home confinement (e.g., sense of security against infection, tedium, and boredom). Uncertainty permeated all discourses, generating feelings of fear and distress, particularly related to employment status and the general economic situation. Our findings shed light on the impact of public health measures to control COVID-19 spread in the different areas of life of hotel housekeepers, one of the most economically affected occupational groups. The trade-off between economics and health must be considered in future decisions on public health.

What do packaging labels tell us about industrialization and the brazilian reality? – an interdisciplinary report
Authors: Oliveira Érico Anderson de , Oliveira Rosália Caldas Sanábio de , Tiago Fabiana da Conceição Pereira
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this work was to explore the packaging labels of products consumed in everyday life by students, seeing them as textual and geographic and biological information genres and thus, through them, introduce the curricular contents in ten (10) 1st year classes of the Integrated Technical Education of CEFET-MG, in Belo Horizonte - MG, Brazil, in an interdisciplinary view in the subjects of Geography and Biology. Topics concerning the progress of industrialization in the Brazilian territory and the quality of products were discussed, especially those consumed by the population (nutritional data and its technical vocabulary, processing of industrialized foods, malnutrition and food exports, expansion of agribusiness...), associating them with the movement of globalization of the world economy. Among the topics studied, we also highlight: history and spatialization of industry, transformation of geographic space, stages of Brazilian industrialization, urbanization, concentration of infrastructure, consumer market, internationalization of the economy, labor qualification, degree of nationalization by industrial sector, privatization, industrial decentralization, precariousness of labor rights, among others. Exercises were carried out based on the data collected using printed maps, in addition to the use of the Google Earth app, devices used to locate industries in the country, which also contributes to a better perception of cartographic images. In a didactic investigation that combined prosaic resources - packaging labels - with geotechnology - the Google Earth application, the need for diversification of instruments and methodologies used in the classroom is evidenced, which together with adequate planning can help students to achieve meaningful learning, as happened in this reported experience. The theoretical-methodological foundations that guided this work are present, especially, in the theories of David Ausubel and Jerome Bruner.

Authors: Rosa Juan Pedro Cervantes de La , Arreguin Judith Sànchez
Published: December 2022

Considerando el sensible aumento del costo de la energía convencional, el calentamiento global y la problemática derivada del uso de petróleo, la energía solar fotovoltaica  como una alternativa sustentable y no contaminante. Para el diseño de este sistema solar fotovoltaico se han considerado las características de irradiación solar de la región en función de la latitud y longitud donde se encuentra ubicado en el Edificio de Docencia de la Universidad. El criterio de diseño para la instalación, puesta en marcha y funcionamiento del sistema solar fotovoltaico preserva el esquema de la instalación eléctrica existente del inmueble, y permite realizar pequeñas modificaciones para la adaptación de los sistemas. Previo al cálculo para dimensionar el sistema fotovoltaico se relevó el consumo eléctrico de los artefactos conectados a la red obteniendo los valores parciales y totales del consumo eléctrico del inmueble.  Con dichos valores, se diagramó la sustitución de la fuente tradicional de energía por la solar fotovoltaica en etapas teniendo en cuenta razones de costos y sectorización del consumo.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar uma experiência escolar que insere a temática Covid-19 em uma escola pública de Fortaleza, CE. O trabalho tem natureza qualitativa e delimita-se como uma atividade de natureza interventiva inspirada na Pedagogia de projetos e em pressupostos da Interdisciplinaridade. As atividades foram desenvolvidas no primeiro bimestre de 2021. Ao longo das atividades remotas desenvolvemos aulas expositivas, discussões de grupo assíncronas, a visualização de museus fotográficos ou exposições virtuais. Por fim, a culminância das atividades foi a produção de um “produto palpável” que interrelaciona as disciplinas de Artes e Ciências. Os alunos produziram imagens, desenhos, fotos, colagens, etc que valorizam a linguagem visual. Cada aluno também escreveu um pequeno texto (como legenda) explicando o modo como as imagens foram produzidas e o nome dado a sua obra. O conjunto das obras foi denominado pelos alunos de “Pensamentos virais”, em referência ao contexto pandêmico e os sentimentos e pensamentos que desenvolveram ao logo do período de isolamento social. Acreditamos que o trabalho desenvolvido foi relevante para ajudar a legitimar as vozes desses alunos, suas inquietações, medos e tristezas. Buscamos através do conhecimento artístico e científico ultrapassar barreiras entre disciplinas escolares, para a produzir conhecimentos escolares mais livres e potentes, na conjuntura de precariedade do processo educacional emergencial e remoto.

Os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental tem como propósito estimular o pensamento lógico, criativo e crítico das crianças, etapa onde são apresentadas as primeiras explicações sobre o mundo natural, sobre o corpo e a importância da saúde, além das intervenções para melhoria da qualidade de vida individual e coletiva. Utilizando a temática de plantas medicinais como recurso pedagógico, o projeto de extensão “Semeando os saberes da natureza” teve como objetivo apresentar o mundo vegetal aos alunos do 1o e 3o anos do ensino fundamental de uma escola privada, mostrando sua diversidade e associando conceitos de educação ambiental, sustentabilidade, estudo do corpo humano e promoção da saúde. As crianças promoveram a coleta de embalagens descartáveis e as reutilizaram para plantio de sementes e mudas de plantas medicinais. Durante a atividade, refletiram sobre a intervenção do ser humano no meio ambiente, a importância de hábitos sustentáveis e saudáveis e, posteriormente, acompanharam o crescimento vegetal. Além disso, foi construída uma horta medicinal no formato de relógio do corpo humano, que relaciona o horário de maior atividade de um órgão à espécie vegetal indicada para tratamento de distúrbios no referido órgão, possibilitando integrar o estudo do corpo humano e conceitos em saúde/doença. O processo de ensino-aprendizagem foi avaliado através de atividades que articularam a temática das plantas medicinais a outras áreas do conhecimento, incluindo português, matemática, geografia e/ou artes. As professoras foram consultadas quanto à percepção do aprendizado, comportamento e relatos dos alunos. Os resultados mostraram que as crianças assimilaram os conteúdos abordados, tiveram a curiosidade despertada, além de ser evidenciada uma participação mais ativa no processo de aprendizagem. Através de ações educativas realizadas com plantas medicinais, acreditamos que os alunos vivenciaram momentos de investigação científica, aprimoraram a capacidade de observação, assimilaram conhecimentos de outras áreas e compreenderam a sua relação com o ambiente.
REESTRUTURAÇÃO DO LABORATÓRIO DE CIÊNCIAS DA NATUREZA DE UMA ESCOLA ESTADUAL DE ARAPIRACA-ALAGOAS

As aulas práticas são significativamente importantes para o aprendizado dos estudantes possibilitando o interesse do conteúdo ministrado em sala de aula, pensando nisso este trabalho apresenta o processo de reestruturação do laboratório de Ciências de uma escola pública estadual de Alagoas, situada na cidade de Arapiraca, agreste do estado. O objetivo principal desta experiência foi promover o resgate das aulas práticas em laboratório nesta instituição, que estavam limitadas pelo desuso e deterioração do local nos anos de distanciamento social demandado pela pandemia de Covid-19. O projeto de reestruturação foi desenvolvido por três professoras de Ciências da Natureza (uma de cada disciplina desta área) da mesma escola, com disposição de 3 horas semanais/professora. Além da colaboração destas, estudantes de duas turmas de 1º ano do Ensino Médio produziram equipamentos necessários ao laboratório utilizando materiais reaproveitados, como produto de uma atividade da disciplina de Laboratório de Práticas Experimentais. Como resultado do projeto podemos destacar a limpeza, organização e etiquetagem dos armários de vidrarias e de reagentes, a redistribuição das mesas, substituição das cadeiras, confecção de um mural de avisos e divulgação de produções científicas atuais, construção de equipamentos de laboratório a partir do reaproveitamento de materiais e elaboração das Normas de Funcionamento para o laboratório de Ciências da Natureza da escola. Para além das alterações estruturais, foi possível perceber que o projeto de reestruturação do Laboratório proporcionou um movimento na escola, onde os estudantes cobram aulas práticas dos professores de Ciências da Natureza e estes retribuem desenvolvendo atividades em laboratório, resultado que pode ser observado pelo registro de frequência de agendamentos que vem sendo feito após reestruturação. Por fim, destacamos a necessidade de formação continuada para docentes das Ciências na Natureza, que contemple o potencial das atividades práticas em laboratório para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos estudantes na contemporaneidade.

"Que honra receber o convite para prefaciar esta obra! Nela, estão os trabalhos apresentados no grupo de trabalho “Ensino e suas intersecções” que objetivaram destacar as produções em diferentes áreas do conhecimento que contemplem atividades educacionais, dentre elas a interconexão Educação e Arte – teatro, dança, literatura e música na prática docente, favorecendo as discussões para a revisão dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, incluindo a Educação em espaços não escolares. Assim, serão apontados caminhos para um currículo inclusivo, um currículo que contribua para que, no mundo da escola e na sociedade, caibam muitos mundos. Um currículo que valoriza o melhor do aprendendo, pois, como qualidade ímpares, um bom currículo é aquele que o sujeito faz-se autor e é autor principal de seu caminho e de seu caminhar, que saboreia cada passo com olhos abertos para sua luz e essência interior. Afinal, o melhor currículo é aquele que não só ensina conteúdos e técnicas, mas também conduz-nos pelo caminho do afeto! Convido o leitor a carinhosamente degustar as palavras e ideias que a nós são ofertadas nesta coletânea como banquete de sabedoria. Graças à vida, à partilha, à educação!"
OS SERTÕES, DE EUCLIDES DA CUNHA, NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA: ENTRE AS LETRAS E OS PINCÉIS
Authors: AMORIM ELISABETH SILVA DE ALMEIDA
Published: December 2022

Este artigo propõe discutir acerca do diálogo entre o romance Os Sertões, de Euclides da Cunha (1902), e outras artes presentes no livro didático de Língua Portuguesa e Literatura Brasileira, Ensino Médio, geralmente, tais artes são transmutadas para espaços virtuais. Um diálogo sustentado pela intersemiose de Roland Barthes e o desconstrutivismo de Jacques Derrida, busca na herança euclidiana, a partir do signo guerra, produções artísticas que remetem a Guerra de Canudos (1896-1897), temática da terceira parte do livro em discussão. A leitura do livro Os sertões, de Euclides da Cunha, análise de manuais didáticos e interpretação crítica das artes alusivas ao enredo do romance, bem como a desmontagem literária da obra euclidiana no espaço virtual fazem parte dos passos metodológicos da pesquisa. Como os silêncios foram rompidos desde a primeira publicação de Os Sertões, as representações artísticas referentes ao enredo poderão fortalecer e ecoar vozes submersas, como as pinturas do artista plástico Silvio Jessé, por exemplo. Desse modo, os estudos canudianos promovidos por Lícia Soares de Souza, Manoel Neto, Iraci da Rocha e Antônio Olavo são como pincéis sobre a tela inconclusa que vem sendo pintada desde o final do século XIX por muitas mãos que transformam a tragédia ocorrida em Canudos em arte.
