Published: January 2025

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma condição de neurodesenvolvimento caracterizada por déficits persistentes na comunicação, interação social e comportamentos adaptativos, apresentando ampla heterogeneidade clínica. No contexto brasileiro, a concessão de benefícios sociais para crianças diagnosticadas com TEA é um tema de crescente relevância, devido à complexidade dos critérios avaliativos e à necessidade de equidade nas decisões. Este estudo analisou a percepção dos peritos médicos do estado de Pernambuco sobre os processos relacionados a essa concessão, com especial atenção às ferramentas diagnósticas, e aos métodos avaliativos. Assim, por meio de uma pesquisa descritiva e transversal, foi adotada uma abordagem mista, combinando dados qualitativos e quantitativos. As variáveis analisadas incluem perfil socioeconômico e profissional, bem como o nível de conhecimento técnico e a utilização de protocolos padronizados. Os resultados revelam desafios significativos, como a subjetividade nos pareceres, ausência de capacitação contínua e limitada aplicação de instrumentos diagnósticos reconhecidos, fatores que resultam em inconsistências e dificuldades para garantir a justiça social na concessão dos benefícios. O estudo conclui que a implementação de diretrizes padronizadas, alinhadas aos avanços científicos sobre o TEA, e a oferta de capacitações técnicas contínuas são estratégias fundamentais para fortalecer as avaliações periciais. Essas medidas são essenciais para promover avaliações mais justas, equitativas e fundamentadas, contribuindo para o fortalecimento das políticas públicas e para o respeito aos direitos das crianças com TEA e suas famílias

Authors: Dantas Carlos Alberto Sousa , Dantas Carlos Augusto Sousa , Bertoni Luci Mara
Published: January 2025

Devido à reconfiguração da política de drogas no ano de 2019, foram retomadas pautas que retrocedem avanços no tratamento oficial de usuários de drogas, como as de prioridade da abstinência e internação forçada. A fim de compreendermos os referenciais de pensamento acessados pelos legisladores para sustentarem tais medidas e a força de noções consensuais sobre as drogas no debate legislativo, este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as memórias e as representações sociais de legisladores federais sobre uso de drogas. Para tanto, coletamos os discursos sobre o tema proferidos por senadores(as) e deputados(as) e os analisamos com o auxílio da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo categorial temática. Verificamos a essencialização, pelo grupo, das drogas como “mal”, sua caracterização como “problema” e de seu consumo como uma “epidemia”, que justificam o “combate” à essas substâncias e respaldam o “tratamento espiritual” dos dependentes, assim como sua “reinserção social”, mediante o confinamento em comunidades terapêuticas em detrimento do tratamento nas instituições públicas de saúde.
Plan de acción en hábitos saludables y condición física: alternativa a la calificación mediante test en Educación Física.
Authors: Pérez Soto Juan José
Published: January 2025

En el nuevo marco curricular, la calificación de los escolares mediante la marca obtenida en test precisa de una actualización. Distintos estudios entrevistando a docentes y alumnado señalan que el uso tradicional de los test se relaciona con un alto nivel de insatisfacción y efectos negativos hacia la práctica de actividad física. En la Educación Física actual, se constata la necesidad de un nuevo enfoque en el uso de test, extrayendo su lado más pedagógico y formativo. La presente propuesta, desarrolla el concepto de “plan de acción en hábitos saludables y condición física” para el seguimiento de las conductas relacionadas con la salud y la evolución de las marcas de condición física de los escolares. En los hábitos saludables se contemplan: sueño, pantallas, raciones de fruta y verdura, consumo de ultraprocesados, tiempo diario caminando, deporte y gestión de emociones; en cuanto a las marcas de condición física se evalúa: frecuencia cardiaca en reposo, sentadillas, flexiones, velocidad (4x10m) y resistencia caminando (Rockport). En la presente propuesta, los hábitos y marcas se medirán al comienzo de curso para trazar un plan de acción trimestral. Esos datos se agruparán en un documento digital compartido de forma privada alumno-docente que irá proporcionando feedback mensual al alumno. La calificación contempla el análisis de las reflexiones, sus ajustes o las evidencias documentadas de realización. Ese documento constituirá el producto final de la SDA de salud. El plan de acción se presenta como una nueva herramienta para guiar a los escolares en el mantenimiento o mejora de sus parámetros de salud, y constituye una alternativa a la calificación de las marcas de test.
Climate change effect on Somalia's pastoralists: Systematic review
Authors: Samatar Elmi Hassan
Published: January 2025

This paper offers the findings of a comprehensive review of the research literature on how pastoralists are being affected by climate change, what are the observed impacts of climate over the past few decades, how resilient are the pastoralists against climate change, and what are the predicted climate impacts in the coming decades. A total of 357 papers were properly screened based on research title and abstract. 156 papers were excluded as a result of the exclusion criteria (duplicates, studies not focused on climate, etc.), while 149 publications were before 2013. Finally, 52 papers qualified to be considered for review. Somalia has experienced above 30 climate-related shocks since the 1990s, including 19 floods and 12 severe droughts. Since 1991, Somalia has experienced a continuous increase of 10C to 1.50C in median annual temperatures. The average daily maximum temperature ranges from 300C to 400C and according to long-term predictions, temperatures will continue to rise by 3.20C to 4.30C by 2100. As per the findings, there are five basic adaptation techniques used by herders: transferring livestock to better grazing regions, adopting drought-resistant crops and livestock, planting early, and relocating to other settlements. Climate change has had substantial direct and indirect effects on Somalia’s pastoralists; water resources and pasture due to recurrent droughts and floods, which has increased the vulnerability of the pastoral communities. To address the above-highlighted impacts, purpose-driven policies and climate programs are needed to promote water management, a sustainable environment, early warning systems, and social safety net programs for pastoralists.

Authors: Vek Viljem , Poljanšek Ida , Osolnik Urša , Oven Primož
Published: January 2025

The main objective of the study is to present a chromatographic method that allows rapid and accurate quality control of extractives in liquid and headspace samples of wood and bark of European silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). The chemical identity of silver fir extractives in liquid and headspace samples was investigated. Mature silver firs were harvested and samples of sapwood, heartwood, knotwood and bark were prepared. Liquid samples were obtained by solvent extraction at higher temperature and pressure, while the volatile extractives of silver fir tissues were collected by headspace sampling. The extractives in the liquid silver fir samples were silylated prior to chromatographic analysis. The samples were then measured using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a mass selective detector (MSD). The samples were introduced into the GC-MSD system using the Automatic Liquid Sampler (ALS) and the Headspace Sampler (HS). A total of 55 compounds were detected in the silver fir wood and bark samples. The liquid samples consisted of a variety of carboxylic/dicarboxylic acids, sugars with sugar alcohols (inositols) and sugar acids, with citric acid, quininic acid and sucrose being the most frequently represented. The liquid bark samples contained mainly sugar-like compounds, while the knotwood extracts contained large amounts of phenolic compounds and lignans. D-pitinol was confirmed as the most characteristic GC-MSD peak of the silver fir extracts. Analysis of the headspace of silver fir revealed α-pinene, camphene, Dlimonene, β-myrcene, ocimene, 2-bornanone or D-camphor and α-terpineol as the characteristic monoterpenes. It was shown that the presented GC-MSD method is a suitable analytical tool for the chemical screening of lowmolecular weight compounds in both liquid and headspace samples of wood and bark. However, the analysis of higher molecular weight extractives requires a different analytical approach supported by other analytical methods such as LC/MS.

Published: January 2025

In general, vegetable oils are chosen for oil heat treatment. Oil heat treatment with waste engine oil, which is quite limited in the literature, was used in this study. After the wood material was subjected to oil heat treatment with waste motor oil, several physical parameters such as oven-dry and air-dry density, water absorption (WA) levels, and mechanical properties such as compression strength parallel to the grain (CSPG) were examined. The color changes of waste engine oil heat treated (WEOHT) specimens were examined after three months of weathering. The results showed that when oven-dry and air-dry density of WEOHT specimens increased, WA levels decreased. The WEOHT specimens had greater CSPG values than the control group. WEOHT specimens and control group revealed negative ΔL*, Δa*, and Δb* values following weathering. The WEOHT specimens had smaller total colorchanges (ΔE*) than the control group after weathering. Our results showed that higher temperature and durations resulted in lower WA, and higher air-dry density and total color changes of WEOHT specimens.

Authors: H S Mamatha
Published: January 2025

Urolithiasis is the stone formation in the urinary tract, affects an estimated 33% of the world's population with the male being the common victim due to hormonal causes. The condition results from a variety of causes like dietary habits, genetic predispositions, metabolic disturbances, and environmental factors. Among all types of kidney stones, calcium oxalate is most commonly found, followed by struvite, uric acid, and cystine stones. These can be very common symptoms for someone diagnosed with urolithiasis. There are some medicinal, surgical, and herbal therapies to treat the ailment. The allopathic treatments have ranged from drugs like thiazides and potassium citrate for controlling the symptom, and ESWL for severe stones, to more drastic surgical interventions like PCNL. side effect includes stomach discomfort or even rashes on the skin. Herbal remedies, such as Tribulus terrestris and Berberis vulgaris, provide an adjunctive therapy due to their nephroprotective, anti-lithic, and anti-inflammatory effects. These natural therapies both prevent stone formation and dissolve those already formed, and are both less side-effecting and cheaper than synthetic drugs. Both allopathic and herbal treatments emphasize the need for patient-specific treatment according to disease severity, patient preference, and side effects. A multi-modality treatment that encompasses the benefits in relation to individual risk factors can improve the quality of life of patients with urolithiasis. It shows the importance of every factor related to this widespread condition for better care of patients.

Authors: Alisoy Gülizar , Demir Hasan , Alisoy Hafiz
Published: January 2025

To solve various technical problems, technologies are needed that allow creating new types of functionally graded anisotropic composite materials with directional properties. The formation of such structures based on additive technologies continues to retain its relevance every day. In this context, this paper proposes a new approach to creating a structure with axial symmetry and electrical or mechanical properties. In this case, the possibility of controlling the movement and direction of particles using strong electric fields is used. Taking into account the presence of a strong electric field in a condensed medium located in the interelectrode space, a mathematical model for the formation of a structure with axial symmetry is proposed, based on the analysis of the forces acting on the particles in the medium. For this model, as a result of some simplifications, analytical solutions were found. According to the results obtained, it is believed that a strong electric field also allows forming certain structures of materials and products with certain properties from microparticles, similar to polymer chemistry.

Interference caused by various electronic components, such as the power supply unit (PSU), system on chip (SoC), LED backlighting circuits, HDMI and USB ports, as well as internal speakers located inside the TV cabinet, needs to be minimized. This minimization is crucial to maintain a robust and uninterrupted Wi-Fi connection between the TV set and the Access Point. This study provides a detailed and comparative analysis of how to properly position Wi-Fi modules for optimal performance and maximum efficiency. The focus is on determining the most suitable location within the TV cabinet to reduce signal interference. Through experiments conducted on nine Android OS-based LED TVs, the areas with minimal signal disruption were identified. Furthermore, the study illustrates how strategic placement of the Wi-Fi module can significantly optimize overall connectivity.
Comprehensive Analysis of Grid and Randomized Search on Dataset Performance
Authors: Subaşı Nadir
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of grid search and randomized search, the two main hyperparameter search methods used in machine learning. The paper analyses the performance of these two methods in terms of efficiency, scalability and applicability on different machine learning models and datasets. In the paper, it is emphasized that grid search provides a comprehensive search since it searches all hyperparameter combinations on a regular grid, but it creates high computational cost. On the other hand, while random search provides faster results by selecting random samples from the hyperparameter space, it has the disadvantage of not providing complete coverage. Practical suggestions and decision-making processes are also presented for which search method should be preferred in real-world applications. In conclusion, the paper summarizes the situations where grid search and random search can be advantageous according to factors such as the complexity of the model, the size of the hyperparameter space and the available computational resources and aims to provide a comprehensive guide for practitioners.

Authors: Cengiz Taner Mustafa
Published: January 2025

Son yıllarda, yağışın mekânsal dağılımını daha doğru bir şekilde yansıtmayı amaçlayan yeni yöntemler geliştirilmektedir. Bu yöntemler, bölgesel yağış hesaplamalarında daha yüksek bir doğruluk sağlamayı hedeflerken, hidrolojik süreçlerin daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Yüzde Ağırlıklı Poligon yöntemi, belirli bir havza üzerinde bölgesel ortalama yağış hesaplamasında Thiessen yöntemine alternatif olarak geliştirilen yenilikçi bir yöntemdir. Bu yöntemin temel ilkesi, çalışma alanını üç komşu istasyon noktasında ölçülen yağış yüzdelerini baz alarak alt alanlara ayırmaktır. Yüzde Ağırlıklı Poligon yöntemi, alt alanların yalnızca ölçülen yağış miktarına bağımlı olmadığı Thiessen poligon yöntemine kıyasla daha güvenilir, esnek ve dinamik bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Yüzde Ağırlıklı Poligon yöntemi ilk kez Türkiye’nin Trakya Bölgesi’nde yer alan Meriç-Ergene Havzası’na uygulanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında, 7 meteoroloji istasyonuna ait veriler dikkate alınmıştır. Yüzde Ağırlıklı Poligon yöntemi, yüksek yağış değerlerini, Thiessen ve diğer geleneksel yöntemlerden farklı olarak daha küçük alt alanlarla temsil etme özelliğine sahiptir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, Yüzde Ağırlıklı Poligon yönteminin diğer geleneksel yöntemlere kıyasla daha düşük bir bölgesel ortalama yağış değeri sunduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum, yöntemin yağış dağılımını daha ayrıntılı ve gerçekçi bir şekilde yansıttığını ortaya koymaktadır.
Impact of State Ownership on Stock Liquidity in the Vietnam Stock Market
Authors:   Thang Long University Vietnam, Trang Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu
Published: January 2025

In VietNam, State divestment has been strongly promoted since 2016, however, state ownership from 2011-2018 did not change much, fluctuating only within the range of 22.28% - 25.22%, and by 2019, it had dropped sharply to 10.4%. Some listed companies still maintain a relatively high level of state ownership, especially in the VN30 group and some sectors such as banking and oil & gas. It can be seen that although the process of transformation and equitization of state-owned enterprises has been active, by 2019, state ownership remained substantial, with the proportion of state ownership greater than 11.72% accounting for about 40%. The research results with 681 enterprises from 2014 to 2019 suggest that: a 95% confidence interval of state ownership in the threshold (0.1086; 0.1182) will help increase stock liquidity. In particular, at effectively operating enterprises with high sustainable growth rates, this will promote an increase in asset value for the State and improve stock liquidity.

Published: January 2025

Rare, pulmonary vein thrombosis is a potentially life-threatening condition that most often arises as a complication of malignancy, post-lung surgery, or atrial fibrillation and may also be present in the idiopathic setting. PVT poses significant risks of pulmonary infarction, pulmonary edema, right ventricular failure, and peripheral embolisms going on to cause stroke, limb ischemia, and renal infarction. Traditional techniques of clot removal, which are used majorly in older and larger thrombi, involve multiple attempts at aspiration and pose a risk of significant loss of blood along with procedural complications. Here, this research paper proposes a new, self-expanding three-disc braided pulmonary clot retrieval device to overcome the drawbacks of current treatment modalities. The device possesses architectural and mechanical properties enabling a maximally retrievable clot by a minimally invasive endovascular approach to reduce the complications and bring the procedure closer to safety and efficacy. It ensures easy clot removal from the vessel as it has less risks than conventional methods. This deployment is with a procedure involving a relatively small entry point, minimizing invasive trauma to the patient, such that clot extraction can be efficiently completed with minimal blood loss and further trauma. This clot retrieval device was proven by in-vitro testing to be suitable and to perform well with bench-scale evaluation. Such a result gives great promise toward enhancing patient outcome in the management of pulmonary thromboembolism brought about by this innovative approach. However, further pre-clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and place this device as a superior alternative to clot retrieval at present.

Authors: Pompêu Gabriela Ciribelli Santos , Pasquini Daniel , Ruggiero Reinaldo
Published: January 2025

The replacement of fossil fuels with alternative energy sources has proven to be a promising approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, agro-industrial residues serve as an important source to produce new materials, chemicals, or energy. One of the advancements in recent technologies applied in biorefineries is focused on the valorization of lignin for bioenergy production and the development of new products. This article aims to analyze and characterize distinct types of lignins isolated from four Brazilian agro-industrial residues: sugarcane bagasse, black liquor from cellulose pulp, mango seed, and pineapple peel. The focus is on the thermal and structural characterization of the samples through energy content analysis, TGA, DSC, UV-Vis, SEM, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. All of them demonstrated high potential for caloric and energy use, considering their high SCP (Superior Calorific Power) and carbon content in their compositions, which increases the profitability of bioenergy production. However, particular emphasis is given to lignin isolated from sugarcane bagasse and eucalyptus due to their wide availability as industrial residues, easy access for use, and the large quantity of unused waste and improper disposal, suggesting further studies for their applications.

Published: January 2025

O Papilomavírus humano (HPV) pode provocar condilomas anogenitais, de boca e orofaringe, além de estar envolvido no desenvolvimento do câncer do colo do útero, vagina, vulva, pênis, ânus e orofaringe. Destaca-se na prevenção do HPV, a vacinação, que tem meta de cobertura vacinal de 80%. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a cobertura vacinal contra o HPV em Arapiraca/AL, em meninas e meninos, de 09 a 14 anos de idade, no período compreendido entre 2014 e 2022. Trata-se de um estudo analítico, ecológico de série temporal, com dados obtidos do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. Calculou-se as coberturas vacinais contra o HPV, conforme recomendação da Organização Pan-Americana de Saúde. As tendências temporais foram determinadas por modelos de Prais-Winsten. Foram administradas 60.246 doses, sendo 36.104 primeiras doses e 24.142 segundas doses em ambos os sexos. Evidenciou-se na cobertura vacinal anual destaque positivo da coorte de 14 anos, com média de 81,5% nas meninas e 35,2% nos meninos. A cobertura vacinal aos 15 anos nas meninas, foi alcançada em alguns anos, com média de 74,6%, no entanto, os meninos não alcançaram a cobertura em nenhum dos anos analisados, tendo média de 32,7%, sendo a tendência temporal estacionária para ambos os sexos. Conclui-se que a cobertura vacinal apresentou importante heterogeneidade entre os sexos e que o alcance da cobertura vacinal e a uniformidade desta cobertura representam desafios a serem enfrentados pela gestão da saúde municipal, principalmente com relação ao sexo masculino, que apresentou baixas coberturas vacinais.

A maior razão de morte por esses agravos é a doença ocupacional, todavia, considerada parcela de trabalhadores perdem a vida ou carregam estigmas de traumas do labor. Este estudo visa conhecer o panorama desses agravos quando atingem o complexo bucomaxilofacial dos trabalhadores e espera encontrar consensos odontológicos para qualificar avaliações realizadas por cirurgiões-dentistas, em sedes administrativas, quando esses acidentes atingem efetivos, no exercício da função pública. Trata-se de revisão de escopo, com recorte na última década (2013-2023) que considerou: Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science e Cochrane Library, além de orientações do PRISMA-ScR. Os resultados colocam luz em grandes lacunas a serem enfrentadas: inexistem estudos com metodologia robusta tipo revisões sistemáticas; diretrizes odontológicas priorizam atendimentos assistenciais; faltam delineamentos estatísticos/epidemiológicos oficiais; e comunicações desses acidentes são fortemente negligenciadas. Essas situações que não parecem exclusivas da iniciativa privada, levam os autores a estudarem a administração pública federal. A ideia será ouvir stakeholders por meio de diálogo deliberativo e das evidências aqui reunidas. Afinal, o Estado é empregador e signatário de objetivos sustentáveis no trabalho junto às Nações Unidas e a Organização Internacional do Trabalho.

The Challenges in Teaching Midwifery
Authors: Soliman Natasha
Published: January 2025

The type of midwife we become can be traced back to what we are taught and who we are taught by. Across the world the dominant medical discourse has a significant impact on implementation of the midwifery philosophy of care and the teachings of midwifery led care (MLC). Through exploring the values and ideologies that underpin healthcare systems and educational institutions we may be able to work towards overcoming this barrier. In this article some of the midwifery education challenges are considered and possible solutions explored.

Published: January 2025

Within this article we give an overview of our job position which was introduced as a new role to Northumbria University in Newcastle just over two years ago. We form part of the Practice Learning Tutor Team which has now flourished into a strong team of seven where we all have a background of varying disciplines and experience. The role of Practice Learning Tutor (PLT) has enabled us to provide that stepping stone of support to student midwives, thus allowing us to reflect on our own experiences to be able to provide empathetic and realistic expectations of midwifery today. We share reflections of our experiences supporting learning across theory and practice.

This article analyses the possibilities of shaping Polish-Russian relations through the prism of the coexistence of neighbouring regions that are historically burdened by the Polish and Russian raison d'état. The considerations presented in the article are not an analysis of the current state of affairs. In particular, the study analyses mutual relations under the influence of historical, geopolitical and geo-economic conditions. The emergence of conditions for the development of Polish-Russian regional relations is linked to the hypothesis of geographical and historical proximity, which results directly from the definition of cross-border space and regional policy first laid down in the Maastricht Treaty and then in the Treaty of Amsterdamv illustrating the processes of European integration. The present study is concerned with the role of state borders in demarcation and separation of regions.
A IDENTIDADE E SUBJETIVIDADE EM UM CONTEXTO DE VIOLÊNCIA ESCOLAR
Authors: Feijó Gabriela Pires Menezes
Published: January 2025

A violência escolar é um fenômeno que pode refletir negativamente o ambiente educacional, demandando análise crítica e reflexiva. Este estudo qualitativo e bibliográfico explora as relações entre violência escolar, identidade e subjetividade, buscando compreender como esses elementos influenciam as vivências escolares. A pesquisa revela que a identidade é uma construção dinâmica moldada por relações sociais, discursos culturais e históricos, enquanto a subjetividade reflete a percepção individual de si mesmo, fundamental na formação identitária. A violência escolar surge como resultado da interação de fatores individuais, relacionais, comunitários e sociais, perpetuando ciclos de exclusão e estereótipos. Os resultados revelam a importância de práticas educacionais que promovam o respeito à diversidade e a convivência democrática, sendo essenciais para a construção de identidades saudáveis e a redução da violência. A conclusão aponta para a educação como ferramenta transformadora capaz de criar escolas mais inclusivas, justas e acolhedoras, incentivando a reflexão crítica e o diálogo no ambiente escolar. Este estudo contribui para futuras investigações sobre metodologias inovadoras que integrem identidade, subjetividade e práticas educativas na promoção de uma sociedade mais equitativa.
