Esse trabalho vem oferecer uma proposta didática, pautada na Literacia Científica e na Matemática, como forma de caminhar para uma aprendizagem significativa, direcionada para turmas de sexto ano do Ensino Fundamental. A pandemia da COVID-19 modificou radicalmente diversos contextos da sociedade. Configurou-se, assim, como um fenômeno de cunho social, histórico, cultural, político e econômico, tendo diversas reverberações práticas no currículo escolar. Logo, é papel do docente ajudar os alunos a construir bases científicas e matemáticas que permitam a eles compreenderem como os argumentos e enunciados desses elementos são apresentados, bem como emitir juízo de valor dessas declarações. Disso, apresentamos a construção de uma Sequência Didática, abordando estudos de representação gráfica com os dados relacionados à transmissão, letalidade e mortalidade em decorrência da COVID-19 na cidade, estado e/ou país dos estudantes. Na elaboração desta proposta, articulamos elementos teóricos da Sequência Fedathi (SF) e suas fases (Tomada de Posição, Maturação, Solução e Prova); a Insubordinação Criativa e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Com uma metodologia qualitativa do tipo descritiva, utilizamos a metodologia de ensino SF para a promoção de habilidades previstas na BNCC. A proposta aqui apresentada articula diversas bases teóricas para estimular o aluno a refletir sobre os processos científicos e sociais que o circundam e que contribuem para o estímulo à investigação, participação ativa e proposição de mudanças sociais para o mundo enquanto constrói sua aprendizagem. Elementos como a interdisciplinaridade e o uso de tecnologias digitais foram fundamentais para que o professor possa revisar sua prática e para a promoção de uma aprendizagem significativa e insubordinada criativamente nos alunos.
A Orquestra da Vida Apresenta a Relação entre a Subjetividade e o Ensino de Matemática
Authors: Pereira Jamyle Paloma de Oliveira , Queiroz Simone Moura
Published: June 2023

Este artigo foi desenvolvido a partir de uma pesquisa de dissertação, que objetivou descrever as linhas de força que perpassam os professores de matemática procurando conexões entre o ensino remoto e a subjetividade deles, ou seja, as experiências vivenciadas pelos sujeitos da pesquisa que criaram marcas em sua prática pedagógica. A pesquisa é motivada pela seguinte questão: Como as linhas de força podem influenciar a prática pedagógica de um grupo de docentes de matemática, durante o período de ensino remoto? Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, optou-se pelo uso da cartografia da subjetividade, que teve por inspiração estudos apresentados por Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Suely Rolnik, dentre outros, que permite mapear as linhas de força que afetam o sujeito, utilizando para isto métodos variados. A intenção desta pesquisa foi descrever algumas linhas de força, de um grupo de professores de matemática durante o período pandêmico, com isso fizemos uso de um questionário desenvolvido pelo Google formulário, composto por perguntas abertas e uma entrevista não estruturada. Depois de realizados os procedimentos de coleta de dados, foi possível perceber que o período de ensino remoto proporcionou aprendizagens, mas também de muitas dificuldades que muitas vezes destoam de professor para professor, mas que em outras até se coincidem, até porque são sujeitos, vivem e são influenciados por contextos familiares e sociais distintos, mas também compartilham o mesmo contexto educacional, no sentido de possuírem alunos que possuem a mesma visão de mundo, subjetivados por comportamentos e particularidades que destoam de outras gerações.

ZPO I: Erkenntnisverfahren
Authors: Bühler Jonas , Brönnecke Hendrik
Published: June 2023

Grundzüge des Zivilprozessrechts sind zunehmend Gegenstand von Examensklausuren in der Ersten Juristischen Staatsprüfung. Dies betrifft vor allem Rechtsfragen aus dem Bereich des Erkenntnisverfahrens der ZPO. Für die Zweite Juristische Staatsprüfung ist dieses sogar zentraler Prüfungsstoff. Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt den insoweit prüfungsrelevanten Stoff für beide Examina. Die Grundzüge des Erkenntnisverfahrens der ZPO werden ausführlich erläutert. Inhaltlich wie didaktisch wird dabei nach Grund- und Vertiefungsinhalten differenziert. Somit ist dieses Buch für alle Stadien der juristischen Ausbildung geeignet. Das gilt insbesondere für die Vorbereitung auf die Erste Juristische Staatsprüfung und den Beginn des Referendariats.Das relevante Wissen wird primär anhand von Fällen dargestellt. Dies erleichtert den Einstieg in die zivilprozessuale Thematik. In Hinweisen und Exkursen wird die Theorie vertieft. Das zivilprozessuale Verständnis wird gezielt gefördert und dabei die Prüfungssystematik einbezogen. Die hier gewählte Darstellung ermöglicht daher auch eine gezielte Wiederholung. Studierenden sowie Referendarinnen und Referendaren wird zugleich veranschaulicht, wie erlerntes Wissen in einer Klausur umgesetzt werden kann. Gerade dies ist ein Aspekt, der häufig nur unzureichend dargestellt wird. Damit ist dieses Buch ideal für die Vorbereitung auf zivilprozessuale Klausuren geeignet.
Regulation of Phagocytosis in Macrophages
Authors: Ibigo Poloamina Victory
Published: June 2023

When the first line of defence—the integumentary system fails, the immune system protects us from infections by pathogens. Macrophages are crucial for mediating effects in the innate immune system by eliminating impaired cells and harmful micro-organisms through phagocytosis. Although other cells undergo phagocytosis, the cellular processes that regulate phagocytosis may vary from cell to cell. These include metabolic changes, signal transduction, and changes in molecular expression or post-translational modifications. This chapter will comprehensively review biological processes that regulate phagocytosis in macrophages, including; changes in metabolic processes, signal transduction, molecular expression, and post-translational modifications.
Perspective Chapter: An Insight into Abiotic Stresses in Pigeonpea – Effects and Tolerance
Authors: Megha  , Singh Nisha
Published: June 2023

Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. is an adaptable, resilient, and nutrient-dense grain legume with qualities that can help agricultural systems become more sustainable in subtropical and tropical regions. Extremes in moisture, temperature, photoperiod, and mineral-related stressors are the most significant that encounter throughout the life cycle. Different stress slows down the plants’ growth by upsetting its typical physiology and morphology. Inefficient conditions can occur sequentially or simultaneously in environments, and plants have evolved defense mechanisms to continue to grow and survive under less-than-ideal edaphic and climatic factors. Although various genotypes of pigeonpea have been identified that are tolerant to heat, drought, and waterlogging, new empirical evidence reveals that genotypic changes have been detected for all of the abiotic stimuli in this crop. Furthermore, to enhance tolerance, breeding techniques or methods such as marker features, including extensive hybridization, double haploids, tissue culture, somaclonal variants, genetic transformation, and marker-assisted breeding, have been employed to lessen the effect of these stressor. These methods help in the development of enhanced germplasm with abiotic stress tolerance and disease resistance, resulting in higher crop quality and production. This chapter focuses on different abiotic stressors and the methods that have been employed to help pigeonpea to overcome environmental constraints.

Published: June 2023

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), being minimally invasive, rapid, cost-effective provides a valuable first-line diagnostic tool in the evaluation of lymphadenopathies both benign and malignant. Various ancillary techniques namely immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, cell blocks, and molecular studies further improve the diagnostic accuracy of FNACs. Targeted FNAC under ultrasound guidance optimizes cellular yield in palpable and non-palpable lymphadenopathies. FNAC proves to be indispensable at establishing tissue diagnosis in cases when surgical excision is unfeasible, as in elderly patients with comorbidities or in metastatic settings. Nevertheless, lymph node FNAC represents a daunting task owing to the multitude of benign and malignant causes of lymphadenopathy. To aid categorization and better communication to the clinician, an emphasis on classification and reporting of lymph node cytopathology using Sydney system is laid upon.
Gender-Based Violence is a Never to be Forgotten Social Determinant of Health: A Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Maria Giammarioli Anna , Longo Eloise , Bucciardini Raffaella
Published: June 2023

Gender-based violence (GBV) has been internationally recognized as a serious and pervasive phenomenon affecting women’s lives and health. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 30% of women have experienced worldwide some form of violence. GBV (in addition to clearly visible immediate effects) induces long-term effects, including an increased incidence of many noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes or cancer. In the last few years, it has also been demonstrated that the signs of violence interfere with genome plasticity and gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. The underestimation of the problem does not allow us to put in place preventive health mechanisms that could cushion the damage (prevent post-traumatic stress disorders—PTSDs—and the evaluation of epigenetic changes) to avoid the onset of the diseases. Appropriate interventions could reduce many of these long-term health effects while failure to intervene could be a significant source of health inequalities. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the available evidence on the relationship between GBV, its long-term effects on health, and as victims’ living conditions, and socioeconomic position of determining both.

Authors: Zhang Jianquan , Yan Lei , Chen Hongqiong , Cheng Jie , Teng Xuedong
Published: June 2023

With the increasingly used semi-thyroidectomy and rapid progress in ultrasound-guided thermal ablation therapy for treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and cervical lymph node metastasis from PTC, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has got the mainstream position in pre-treatment cytopathologic diagnosis of PTC. How to acquire adequate and qualified cellular specimen for cytological examination has been described in several published expert consensus and practice guidelines. However, new issues continue to emerge in the real world of thyroid FNAB practice, and most of them are rooted in the perception and skills of the physician or technician who conduct FNAB. In this chapter, a series of new concept, idea, and technical methods are to be introduced and discussed. We believe that properly addressing these issues will facilitate the better implementation of FNAB and promote the new therapeutic modalities such as the thermal ablation to better progress.
Recent Advances and Researches in the Field of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytopathology
Authors: Goyal Anjali
Published: June 2023

Fine needle aspiration cytology/biopsy (FNAB) is quite often one of the first tests for the initial evaluation of lesions/swellings which are accessible to the needle tracts. The technique has its limitations in certain cases owing to the non-representative or inadequate material aspirated or due to the confusion arising from the lack of histologic pattern as observed on a biopsy. An immediate rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is valuable in minimizing the limitations arising from the non-representative/inadequate material. The introduction and application of several ancillary modalities, like immunocytochemistry, molecular tests and the advancements in interventional radiology, has further revolutionized the diagnostic scope of FNA biopsy. Molecular tests on the FNAC samples can aid in the distinction of benign from malignant lesions, in determining the genetic abnormalities and genetic makeup of tumors that can be useful not only for making a more specific diagnosis but also for determining prognosis, response to therapy and for the selection of patients for targeted therapy. FNAB biopsies have an added advantage in comparison with the core needle biopsies for molecular analysis since they have a much lower contamination of stroma. The chapter will be discussing the advancements and the uses of these ancillary techniques in the field of FNAC.

Authors: Mohammadi Hassan Reza , Sadeghi Sohrab , Hatefi Masoud , Rahmatian Aryoobarzan
Published: June 2023

Background: One of the clinical manifestations and complications of traumatic brain injury patients is traumatic intracranial hemorrhages, divided into primary and secondary hemorrhages. Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on all TBI patients with SAH for one year. Data collection tools include a demographic profile form and a researcher-made checklist. The severity of TBI is divided according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. The patient’s history and clinical examinations were considered when admitting to the hospital. The consciousness level was measured at 6-to-24-hour intervals, a computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, and any abnormal SAH-related clinical findings and symptoms were recorded. If the patient had other hemorrhages besides SAH, the hematoma volume was recorded. The collected data were entered into and analyzed by SPSS version 16 software. Results: A total of 534 patients were investigated, of whom 84 (15.3%) had intracranial hemorrhage. Out of 84 patients with intracranial hemorrhage, 12 (2.2%) had SAH, of whom ten were male and 2 were female. Also, SAH occurred to traffic accidents, falls, and other related reasons in 7 (58.3%), 4 (33.3%), and 1 (8.3%) patients, respectively. It was also shown that 1 (8.3%), 2 (16.6%), and 9 (75%) patients with SAH had mild, moderate, and severe consciousness, respectively. Regarding the frequency of SAH-related diseases, it was shown that 2 (16.6%) and 10 (82.3%) patients were diabetic and non-diabetic, 4 (33.3%) and 8(66.6%) patients were hypertensive and non-hypertensive, and 7 (58.3%) and 5 (41.6%) patients were with and without a history of skull fractures, respectively, 12 (100%) of them had a history of coagulation disorders. Conclusions: The prevalence of intracranial hemorrhage and SAH in TBI patients is significantly high, which should be taken into consideration when performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for these patients.

Indeterminacy Handling of Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System Using Neutrosophic Set Theory: A Case Study for the Classification of Diabetes Mellitus
Authors:   Artificial Intelligence Research Center, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Babu Banarasi Das University, Lucknow, India, Prasad Rajan , Shukla Praveen Kumar
Published: June 2023

Early diabetes diagnosis allows patients to begin treatment on time, reducing or eliminating the risk of serious consequences. In this paper, we propose the Neutrosophic-Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (N-ANFIS) for the classification of diabetes. It is an extension of the generic ANFIS model. Neutrosophic logic is capable of handling the uncertain and imprecise information of the traditional fuzzy set. The suggested method begins with the conversion of crisp values to neutrosophic sets using a trapezoidal and triangular neutrosophic membership function. These values are fed into an inferential system, which compares the most impacted value to a diagnosis. The result demonstrates that the suggested model has successfully dealt with vague information. For practical implementation, a single-value neutrosophic number has been used; it is a special case of the neutrosophic set. To highlight the promising potential of the suggested technique, an experimental investigation of the well-known Pima Indian diabetes dataset is presented. The results of our trials show that the proposed technique attained a high degree of accuracy and produced a generic model capable of effectively classifying previously unknown data. It can also surpass some of the most advanced classification algorithms based on machine learning and fuzzy systems.

Published: June 2023

In recent days, the smart city project has been emerging concept all over the world. In this process, the proper communication between the sensors and the smart devices, and identification of optimal path between sensors and mutation sensors in large geographical area is very difficult. The main objective has been considered to overcome the drawbacks as mentioned above. The proposed algorithm is efficient to provide integrated communication of IoT-based ubiquitous networking (UBN) devices to improve in large geographically distributed area. The data storage capacity and accuracy of sensors and smart devices are enhanced using the proposed algorithm. The communication latency and data pre-processing of IoT-based UBN nodes deployed in smart cities are reduced. The proposed algorithm also analyses the performance of IoT-based UBN nodes by considering geographical testbeds that represent a smart city scenario. The analysis and comparison are carried out by considering the heuristic parameters. The proposed algorithm will also optimize the communication latency and data pre-processing time by analyzing various sensitivity levels by considering the heuristic parameters in different probability of nodes in smart cities. The proposed IoT-based UBN computing devices improve the objective function due to proper integrated communication between the sensors using a machine learning based regression algorithm. The proposed algorithm also identifies the probability sensitivity of optimal path between smart devices in a smart city thereby enhancing the connectivity of mutated sensor nodes. The proposed algorithm also enhances the probability of smart device connectivity to improve the accuracy, flexibility and large geographical coverage using machine learning based regression algorithm.

Ways to improve cross-regional resource allocation: Does the development of digitalization matter?
Authors: Wu Haitao , Hao Yu , Geng Chuanzhen , Sun Weiheng , Zhou Youcheng , Lu Feiling
Published: June 2023

The long-term extensive economic development has caused China's resource and environmental problems, especially the resource misallocation. The way China prioritises its limited resources is being significantly impacted by the rise of the digital economy and the interconnectedness of new technologies and the real economy. This paper quantitatively examines the linear and nonlinear impacts and mechanisms of digital development represented by internet development. With a series of empirical tests, we found that the internet development has significantly inhibited the resources misallocation, and the conclusion is still valid in the robustness test with internet popularization and internet infrastructure as the core explanatory variables. In addition to the marketization, internet development can further inhibit resource misallocation by promoting financial development, openness, urbanization and industrial structure. The findings of threshold regression suggest that the inhibitory effect of internet growth on resource misallocation becomes more visible as the degree of financial development and industrial structure increases; with the higher degree of urbanisation and marketization, although the internet development has always played an inhibitory role on resource mismatch, the inhibitory effect first increases and then decreases; with the improvement of openness, the hindering impact of internet growth on resource mismatch becomes more visible as the degree of financial development and industrial structure increases.
The role of economic development in improvements of Cambodian housing conditions
Authors: Gerth Florian , Sikora Karol S.
Published: June 2023

In the past, investing in housing has served as an engine of growth for many economies as it is widely recognized that poor housing conditions can have significant negative impacts on human health, education, and economic opportunities. To assess the housing-related quality of life, indicators such as housing quality, housing environment, and cost burdens can be applied. However, recent studies indicate that materials used for construction are critical. Permanent materials, as opposed to temporary materials, typically offer a range of benefits in terms of durability, low maintenance, improved energy efficiency, increased property value, and better safety. The ultimate aim is to identify the key drivers of housing conditions in Cambodia, with a particular focus on materials and water quality, and the legal status of housing. To find the empirical relationship between economic, socio-economic, and demographic variables on the one hand, and variables measuring housing and living conditions in Cambodia on the other, the analysis employs Ordinary Least Squares and Methods-of-Moments regression modeling. Results indicate that high employment rates and entrepreneurship increase home ownership, and improve the quality of drinking water available. Furthermore, in addition to employment and entrepreneurship, the higher-performing construction materials can also be empirically explained by a bigger labor force and variables capturing the wider macroeconomic environment.

Indonesian language learning should involve the active role of students directly, so that students will interact using the media that has been presented by the teacher. Observations made in the field found a problem, namely students lack of focus and lack of understanding of the concept of material in Indonesian language content. The purpose of writing this journal is to analyze related efforts to improve understanding of material concepts in Indonesian content by using interactive videos in class II SDN 64/1 Muara Bulian. The type of research used is PTK (Classroom Action Research). This research was conducted at SD Negeri 34/I Teratai, in class II to be precise. The results obtained are that students are still confused when using interactive videos, and are more comfortable when the teaching process is carried out using traditional methods, namely by using a blackboard that is devoted to providing subject matter related to how to write cursive in stories by paying attention to the use of capital letters. The conclusion is that the use of interactive videos in increasing students' understanding of concepts in Indonesian language subjects with non-continuous writing material in stories with attention to the use of capital letters is effective at the elementary school level.

Authors: Jassim Mohammed Abid  , Widad K. Mohammed
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of the instructional program on patients’ knowledge about home safety while receiving anti-cancer treatment at  Al- Karama Teaching Hospital in Al-Kut City.

Methodology:   A quasi-experimental design is conducted through the application of a pre-test and post-test approach for the study and control groups from February 5th, 2020 to April 25th, 2020. A non–probability (purposive) sample of (50) patients treated at the Blood Disease and Oncology Center is selected and divided into two groups. Each group contains (25) patients as control and study groups. An instrument is constructed that is comprised of two parts; the first part consists of demographic data for a study sample which is consisted of (5) items of age, gender, occupation education and marital status. The second part is multiple choice questions related to patients’ knowledge which is consisted of (20) items. Validity and reliability of the instrument are determined through pilot study.

Results:  The findings of the study show that the evaluation of patients’ knowledge in the study groups throughout three periods of measurements showed that most of the studied items had a low means of score (1.23) before applying the instructional program. Comparatively, most of the studied items had a high mean of score (1.77 and 1.70) in post-test I and post-test II after implementation of the program. Furthermore, the evaluation of patients’ knowledge in the control group throughout two periods of measurement shows very slight change in the mean (1.26) to the mean (1.3). 

Recommendations: The study recommends that encouragement of continuous nursing education units to meet with patients under the care of Oncology Physicians to teach them about home safety during chemotherapy treatment and the hospital should establish regular training sessions, lectures, workshops, and programs to improve patients’ knowledge about home safety during treatment.

With the major paradigm shift of Albanian society at the debut of 90-ies, the film makers were undoubtedly the first to seriously think and invest in changing the system of the operation of the cinematographic activity and culture in Albania. “Convinced that even some of the major relying principles of the operation of this activity have fallen short, both as an instrument and institution in assisting the political education of the masses, they started the switch to the new system and philosophy, whereby the individual, competition of values, the market of ideas and products, European integration and product commercialization constituted its mainstays”.
Aspects of soil fertility and nutrition of Pinus taeda L: A review

Published: June 2023

The cultivation of the genus Pinus spp. in Brazil occupies an area of 1.7 million hectares in 2020. Pinus is considered a socioeconomic component, which helps maintain the development of the southern region of the country and the national supply chain. However, the areas destined for pine cultivation usually have acidic soils and low natural fertility, which reduces the nutrients availability, negatively influencing the crop development. However, it is not known if Pinus responds positively to mineral fertilization, nor what is the nutrient of greatest demand regarding plantation development. Thus, the objective of this review is to explore which nutrients are of greatest nutrient need and therefore most responsive to pine growth and productivity. Thus, this review aims to establish a discussion on the importance and current plantation of Pinus taeda, along with answers on fertilization and nutrition of the crop, obtaining data from articles found in scientific databases of international literature, to better inform fertilization practices for this little studied crop. We have seen that mineral fertilization aims to optimize the pine growth, seeking to meet the physiological needs of the plants and thus achieve maximum crop productivity. However, the literature shows that many times the pine does not respond expressively in growth when subjected to mineral fertilization. Thus, studies that consider the effects of nutrient application to the pine crop, over time, are required to better conclude whether the pine crop responds to the nutrient supply.

On 31 Aug 2016, one Japanese encephalitis (JE) case was notified from Shwe Pyi Tha Village, Sittwe Township, Rakhine State. The case was the first reported JE case from this village after implementing the single-dose JE vaccination in the area during May 2015. An outbreak investigation was conducted during September-October 2016 to confirm the outbreak and identify possible risk factors. The patient and family members were interviewed. Suspected cases were searched in the family and the village, and the medical records were reviewed. Serum samples were collected and sent for JE antibody, and dengue antigen-antibody testing. Environmental investigation, including entomological study, was conducted. The patient was a 46-year-old male worker. He got fever with headache on 14 Aug 2016. He developed convulsion and was admitted to Sittwe General Hospital with final diagnosis of viral meningitis. He was an alcoholic and usually did not sleep in a mosquito net. Active case finding among 1,758 villagers found 12 feverish villagers, including two suspected cases. Out of 11 serum samples tested, one was positive and two were equivocal for JE antibody testing. Environmental investigation revealed domestic animals, poor drainage and houses without mosquito screens. Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Culex quinquefasciatus were identified in the village as well. Considering the environmental conditions, Rakhine State should be a high priority area for routine JE immunization program.
