Authors: Chia Aletheia ZH , Chong Shu-Ling , Ganapathy Sashikumar
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Wheeled recreational devices (WRDs) include tricycles, bicycles, scooters, inline skates, skateboards, longboards and waveboards, and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and nature of injuries sustained by children from WRD use, and risk factors for severe injury.
Method: We described injuries relating to WRD use in children <18 years who presented to the emergency department of an Asian tertiary hospital between 2016 and 2020. Demographic data, site and nature of the injury, and historical trends were analysed. Risk factors for severe injury (defined as fractures or dislocations), Injury Severity Score ≥9, and injuries resulting in hospitalisation, surgery or death were evaluated.
Results: A total of 5,002 patients with 5,507 WRD-related injuries were attended to over the 5-year study period. Median age was 4.7 years. Injuries related to bicycles (54.6%) and scooters (30.3%) were most frequent, followed by skateboards and waveboards (7.4%), inline skates (4.7%), and tricycles (3.0%). Injuries occurred most frequently in public spaces. Soft tissue injuries (49.3%) and fractures (18.7%) were the most common diagnoses. Upper limb (36.4%) and head and neck (29.0%) regions were the most common sites of injury. Among the patients, 1,910 (38%) had severe injuries with potential morbidity. On multivariate analysis, heavier children of the school-going age who use either scooters, skateboards or inline skates are more prone to severe injuries. Involvement in a vehicular collision was a negative predictor.
Conclusion: WRD use in children can result in severe injuries. Wrist and elbow guards, as well as helmets are recommended, along with adequate parental supervision.

Authors:   Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta 57126, Central Java, Indonesia
Published: September 2022

This research which used qualitative method aims to describe the types of directive speech acts that use downgraders as internal modifications and classify the illocutionary directive speech acts in the Covid-19 talk show, as well as, classify the types of downgraders used. This research is interesting to do because the official covid-19 talk show, especially, at the beginning of the pandemic, contains many directives from the government to prevent the spread of covid-19 more widely. However, on the other hand, the use of directive speech acts which can have a strong effect of damaging the face, rarely used in direct speech, so that speakers can save their face and their positive image can be maintained. Therefore, it is very interesting to know what downgraders are used to reduce the face damage in directive utterances. Using the speech act theory of Trosborg (1995) and Blum-kulka, House, and Kasper (1989) to analyze 25 contexts of conversation themes, it was found that there are six functions of directive speech acts that use internal modification of downgraders, such as request, direct, prohibit, suggest, command, and urge. Then, 19 variations of the downgraders markers were found. From the research findings, it can be said that the use of downgraders is important in directive speech acts, especially this can be used to maintain a positive image of the speakers and protect the face of the speech partners, so that communication can be well established.

This article endeavors to come up with the novel Sons and Lovers with the view of Oedipus complex which turned out at the time when D.H. Lawrence set off to rejuvenate the new generation writers along with the readers throughout his novel to be familiar with the neo type of complication which is related to Freudian Theory of Psychosexual Development or Organic evolution. Following the footprint of Sophocles, Lawrence depicts his neo form of complexity in accordance with the philosophy of psychoanalysis but in different way that is in reality the influential work Oedipus Rex (Oedipus Tyrannus). The enduring psychological pressure and anxiety always leg-pulls the mind of the protagonist Paul Morel and makes him anesthetized in absence of both his mother and beloved. It is Lawrence’s first full-fledged novel where he portrays his uneasiness overshadowing his romances with two women. This complication is the root of all problems that actually imposed on the Protagonist to love his mother with all the intensity of his soul. Furthermore, there develops an unnatural bond of interdependence between Paul and his mother which leads to further complications in his emotional life.

Matt. 28: 19ff) draws her power to exercise, live and execute authority leading people to salvation. In the Catholic Church, authority is exercise by the power of the Trinity, through the charism of sacramental ordination and the bestowal of baptismal character – a reform Pope Francis – affirms most be at the very root of ecclesial life in the 21st century. This must be the motivation by which all members of the Church need to exercise to evangelise with vigor and determination guided by love and service in order to participate fully in the life and mission of the Church to make disciples of all nations in the 21st century. The act or task of evangelization as ever before, most be the mission of the Church that ought to be propel by Christocentric mandate.

Leben mit Licht und Farbe: Ein biochemisches Gespräch [Life with Light and Colour: A Biochemical Conversation, German Language]
Authors:   History of Chemistry Division of the German Chemical Society (GDCh), Oesterhelt Dieter
Published: September 2022

DIETER OESTERHELT (*1940) and Matthias Grote (*1978) are of different generations—biochemistry brought them together. As an up-and-coming scientist Dieter Oesterhelt discovered in 1970 a color change from purple to yellow, and he wanted to know the origin of this change. Already as a child he walked his own way: Rather than reading and learning from others he wanted to understand by doing things himself that others had not done before. As a result of his endeavors he discovered the prototypical molecular pump bacteriorhodopsin and with it a new type of photosynthesis. Openness for innovative methods, interdisciplinary work, and worldwide cooperations led his group at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich to become a hotspot for molecular life sciences.
Desenvolvimento de geopolímeros “one-part” à base de metacaulim e lama vermelha
Authors:   , Andrade Igor Klaus Rocha
Published: September 2022

Diversos estudos têm apontado a utilização da ativação alcalina de subprodutos industriais no desenvolvimento de aglomerantes alternativos ao cimento Portland, dentre os quais destacam-se os geopolímeros. Estes são materiais formados em meio fortemente alcalino, pela ativação de precursores com altos teores de aluminossilicatos e baixos teores de cálcio reativo, levando à organização de uma estrutura tridimensional pseudo-zeolítica, com características amorfas e semicristalinas. A produção dos materiais álcali-ativados pode ser realizada basicamente em metodologia two-part (misturam-se os precursores sólidos com os ativadores já solubilizados) ou one-part (homogeneízam-se os precursores e ativadores sólidos e adiciona-se a água no momento da utilização). Apesar de acelerar os mecanismos de reação e dificultar o controle do tempo de pega dos compósitos produzidos, a mistura one-part evita o transporte e manuseio de soluções aquosas, facilita a dosagem e aplicação no local, e reduz o impacto ambiental associado à sua cadeia produtiva. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os materiais álcali-ativados na construção civil, na qual ressaltam-se suas classificações, mecanismos de reação, matérias-primas, e metodologias de produção. Posteriormente, são apresentados os estudos de avaliação da influência do teor de areia em argamassas geopoliméricas à base de metacaulim, seguida das investigações quanto à influência do teor de água/precursor, tratamento termoquímico do precursor e concentração alcalina nas propriedades físicas e mecânicas de argamassas geopoliméricas one-part produzidas à base de metacaulim e lama vermelha. Foram conduzidos ensaios de caracterização das matérias-primas e das argamassas no estado fresco e endurecido, e os resultados indicam a viabilidade da aplicação da lama vermelha, após tratamento térmico, como substituição parcial de 25 % do metacaulim na produção de argamassas geopoliméricas one-part curadas termicamente a 60 °C (por exemplo, até 11 MPa em 07 dias na resistência à compressão). Com isso, buscou-se investigar alternativas seguras e práticas para a reutilização do rejeito da indústria do alumínio, ao passo que também se pesquisou potenciais substitutos do cimento Portland como aglomerante na produção de pastas e argamassas, por meio da ativação alcalina.

Background: It is not known whether there have been changes in the primary cases of covid-19, which are the gateway for SARS-CoV-2 in households and families, during the course of the pandemic. Objective: Evaluate the variation of the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of the primary cases of covid-19 in households, in 2020 versus 2021. Methodology: Comparison of secondary data from two observational, longitudinal, and prospective studies of families in 2020 and 2021 in the same population of patients treated in a general medicine office in Toledo, Spain. Results: It was included 39 primary cases in 2020 unvaccinated and 25 primary cases vaccinated with one or two doses in 2021, within families. The 2020 family primary cases differed statistically significantly from the 2021 family primary cases in that they were younger and had fewer ethnic minorities. Also, the primary cases of 2020 were more women, with lower income and more complex families, compared to the primary cases of 2021, but without statistical significance. No statistically significant differences were found in the primary cases in families of 2020 and 2021 in symptoms or in chronic diseases. Conclusions: In the context of general medicine in Toledo (Spain), the changes in the “gateway” (primary cases) of SARS-CoV-2 in families during the course of the pandemic (from 2020 to 2021) were basically due to psychosocial factors rather than biological factors

Introdução: O crossfit é uma atividade de força física e condicionamento metabólico. Sabe-se que a alimentação e a suplementação nutricional podem interferir no desempenho físico dos praticantes. Objetivo: Quantificar o uso de suplementos nutricionais (proteicos, de carboidratos e de micronutrientes), bem como avaliar a adequação do momento do consumo do suplementos mais citado (pré, durante ou pós treino). Materiais e Métodos: Foram convidados 60 participantes da modalidade crossfit de três academias situadas na cidade de São Paulo. O instrumento da pesquisa foi um questionário elaborado pelos pesquisadores. Os dados foram analisados com estatística descritiva. Resultados: Dentre os participantes (48% homens e 52% mulheres), 70% faziam uso de suplemento. Os mais utilizados foram os proteicos, principalmente o whey protein. Apenas 4,8% utilizavam suplementos de carboidratos, e 3,2% de micronutrientes. A maioria dos consumidores de whey protein relatou uso de 1 (37,1%) ou 2 (34,3%) colheres-medida por dia. Um terço (34,3%) dos usuários relatou consumir este suplemento antes do treino, seguidos de 25,7% que o consumiam antes e após o treino, e 14,3% que faziam uso somente no pós treino. Discussão: Atividades de potência muscular anaeróbia envolvem maior turnover proteico, o que pode explicar a preferência por suplementos de proteína.  Conclusão: A maioria dos participantes da pesquisa fazia uso de suplementos nutricionais, e o whey protein foi o mais citado. As doses estipuladas no rótulo dos produtos eram respeitadas pela maior parte dos entrevistados, no entanto, o momento de utilização e o tipo de suplemento escolhido em muitos casos não estavam adequados.

Literate population is an important asset for any nation & plays a crucial role while representing the country at internationals. Education makes the backbone of the society, which reveals the skills, knowledge and behaviour transferred from one generation to the next generation. During COVID 19 pandemic, major changes can be seen in the education system. Class room teaching is replaced by an online teaching model to facilitate the students to continue their education. Online teaching methods were adopted by the teachers to maintain the students' learning at all levels. The pandemic has resulted in a change of teaching patterns from traditional classrooms to digital pedagogies. The teaching has become more student oriented rather than on-way teaching methods. These new innovative and active learning practices for teaching pedagogy have enabled the smart teachings for the Education era. The main actor for the Project-based learning is a student, where he/she explores the real-world difficulties for a problem and thus acquires a deeper knowledge by having active learning. The lockdown has actually unlocked multiple prospects to study various online tools for the ultimate stakeholders and facilitators. The purpose of this paper is to present the Online Teaching Learning Model considering Project Based Learning (PrjBL)/ Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for the course “Business Intelligence” as an example to discuss the design of teaching process and problems with engineering students. The proposed teaching pedagogy has evolved with experimental, flexible, peer-learning, learner-centred, discussion-based, knowledge sharing with fun. Thus, the Outcome Based Education (OBE) has effectively improved the teaching and learning skills of students as well as facilitators in this advanced Education Era.

Using games for teaching-Learning include features that engage the learners. Gamified instruction builds learning for the better in many ways. First, it empowers students to be responsible for their learning. Well-designed games are particularly effective at keeping reluctant learners engaged because they keep the learner close to but not over their capacity threshold. Second, gamified methods help students maintain a skillful mindset when encountering new obstacles. Moreover finally, gamified instructional techniques build on the ways games boost a player to survive in the face of challenges to help students better overcome hurdles in their learning environment. Engagement of the students in teaching-learning activities plays an important role, but only engaging the students and fun are insufficient, or it could not be the aim. The accomplishment of learning objectives is significant. So games should also be associated with the skill to be evaluated, and evaluation patterns decided by the teacher. During or after the conduction of the game, the teacher should collect the pieces of evidence; must interpret them to get a value with a view to action.
