"El español nunca será lenguaje general en el país, el pueblo nunca lo hablará porque las concepciones de su cerebro y los sentimientos de su corazón no tiene(n) frases (en) ese idioma: cada pueblo tiene lo suyo, como tiene su manera de sentir. ¿Qué vais a conseguir con el castellano, los pocos que lo habéis de hablar? ¡Matar vuestra originalidad, subordinar vuestros pensamientos a otros cerebros y en vez de haceros libres haceros verdaderamente esclavos! Nueve por diez de los que os presumís de ilustrados, sois renegados de vuestra patria. El que de entre vosotros habla ese idioma, descuida de tal manera el suyo que ni lo escribe ni lo entiende y,¡cuántos he visto yo que afectan no saber de ello una sola palabra!"(J.

Published: September 2021

The amount and complexity of solid waste are intensified with the occurrence of natural disasters, compromising response and recovery actions, causing unplanned spending, environmental damage, and health impacts. The proper management of disaster waste requires knowledge of its characteristics such as quantity, composition, hazard, and management by the identified waste stream. This article aims at the characterization and quantification of disaster waste arisen from an event of intense rains, which occurred in 2013, in the municipalities of the State of Espírito Santo in Brazil. For characterization, an online survey instrument was developed and applied in institutions responsible for waste management. The survey was associated with a documentary analysis of photographic records and information obtained from the government database. Estimation of the amount of waste generated was carried out in a selected set using a method already applied in the south of the country. It was adapted to local characteristics and later compared with surveys carried out by the municipality. The characterization identified sediments, soil and mud, remains of vegetation, furniture, wood, and discarded scrap as the main generated waste. The estimated additional generation for durable consumer goods of around 1,700 tons of waste was lower than the municipal records (7,436.46 t) in the period. It was associated with the specific low weight of the considered affected goods and the inclusion of other residues in the data obtained in the city hall records. The methods used in the characterization and quantification presented application viability, through adjustments, and represented an important contribution to municipal disaster management to make cities able to face climate change, carrying out safe management of disaster waste.

Published: September 2021

In Brazil, the disposal of construction and demolition waste (CDW) quite often occurs in inadequate places, resulting in social, economic, and environmental problems. This reflects the need for selecting appropriate areas for the disposal of this type of waste. These areas must follow local standards and regulations to protect human health and the environment. Considering that, this study is intended to indicate potentially suitable areas for CDW landfill deployment, known as Class A landfill in Brazil, supported by a GIS-MCDA based model. The GIS-MCDA technique, used as a basic tool to identify potentially suitable areas, has several advantages, such as low cost, reduced spatial data subjectivity, and fast decision-making process. The place chosen for this study is the Urban Central Core of the Metropolitan Area of Curitiba. By integrating GIS with MCDA techniques in this research study, it was possible to indicate potentially suitable areas for CDW disposal in this region.
Connecting environmental education, science–technology–society and ecological theory: possible pathways to reduce socioenvironmental problems
Authors: Noga Pietro Martins Barbosa , Orth Ritter Antiqueira Lia Maris , Jacinski Edson
Published: September 2021

Social practices influence the production, application, and values of modern Science and Technology (S&T). The epistemological integration of science, ideology, and politics produces a complexity that is able to restore the capacity of science to deal with complex problems from several levels. Therefore, it is arguable that scientific education should be effectively committed to instrumentalization for citizenship, as well as to avoid misinterpretations, distortions, and social exclusion. This theoretical study aims to provide a useful guideline for teachers, scientists, and decision-makers focusing on the importance of education and general scientific training on conservation efforts, as to encourage the teaching classes to expand the conceptual framework by encompassing the sociopolitical outspread of S&T. The theoretical foundation was conducted based on two dimensions of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) within scientific education. We created some examples based on phytoplankton biogeochemical dynamics and coral reef conservation to fetch the integration of STS with ecological theory, which can be easily transposed into other subjects or disciplines. The discussion follows the logic that science popularization is a valuable tool for environmental education and a strategy for social inclusion in Brazil. However, the curriculum is an important mechanism driving scholar practices that demands further improvements, besides the academic training of the teachers and the support of the didactic textbooks. Finally, we encourage a policy of science popularization, designed to enlarge individual comprehension of our modern world, to stimulate public participation in decision-making, likewise, to reduce social exclusion and combat structural racism.

Visual Market equilibrium model for power seller multi-microgrid based on a graphic game
Authors: Tonhá Henrique Mesquita , Marques Thyago Carvalho , Alvarenga Bernardo Pinheiro
Published: September 2021

Microgrids (MGs) have characteristics of flexibility and intelligence. These grids provide potential for integrating renewable energy sources. Hybrid Microgrids make possible to manage complementary between sources and storage schemes, enabling exploration of stronger commercial impact of these energy producing stations. This paper proposes a new market model of equilibrium operation for MGs in local energy markets. MGs remotely located in the grid are virtually associated to compete with other MGs better located. The model meets the interests of the MGs by remuneration of the delivered power and the other stakeholders via loss reduction. A deterministic method based on reduction of the constraint set size and application of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions process visually the Nash equilibrium (NE) and the Pareto efficiency (PE). The non-cooperative static game has the ability to encourage the participation of small agents in the grid.
Tecnologia e Educação: perspectivas e desafios para a ação docente
Authors: Barbosa Francisco Danilo Duarte , Mariano Erich de Freitas , Sousa Jair Moisés de
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo discute a importância da utilização das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC`s) na educação como recursos indissociáveis da prática docente e do processo de ensino e aprendizagem como um todo, haja vista que sua integração curricular, pedagógica e metodológica tornou-se essencial para alunos e professores na sociedade contemporânea. Este artigo faz uma analise, por meio de questionário semiestruturado, das perspectivas e dos desafios enfrentados por professores de duas escolas públicas do sertão paraibano no uso dessas tecnologias em sala de aula como ferramentas mediadoras do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Para tanto, utilizou-se como campo de pesquisa a escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Francisco Sales Gadelha de Oliveira, localizada no município de São Francisco e o Instituto Educacional de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Ronaldo Gonçalves Sarmento, situado no município de Lastro. As tecnologias são recursos indissociáveis da prática pedagógica dos docentes e sua utilização tem levado os educadores a transformar a sala de aula em espaços ativos de aprendizagem, criatividade, imaginação e construção do conhecimento. Porém, a falta de formação continuada e a indisponibilidade de recursos suficientes para o desenvolvimento de atividades didáticas desafiam os educadores e limitam o seu uso em sala de aula. Assim sendo, pensar o processo educativo como um todo, atualmente, pressupõe inovação na maneira de planejar e executar; pressupõe interação, dinamismo, compartilhamento de ideias e diferentes propostas de aprendizagem.

Published: September 2021

The This study was conducted in the purpose of revealing the cognitive domains of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy in 2015/2016 English National Exam for senior high school level and also finding out English teachers’ perception on the result of 2015/2016 English National Exam questions for senior high school level. Furthermore, this study is classified as a descriptive study, for it analyzed questions used in National Exam and this did not deal with numerical data. The research investigated the cognitive domain used in the National Exam’s questions based on the revised form of Bloom Taxonomy. In addition, quantitative method, in this research, was used to support the qualitative one. This is to know the percentage of using cognitive domains in the questions. This also aims at deciding the most frequent or dominant level applied in the questions in accordance with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy.  Three versions of 2015/2016 English National Exam for senior high school level were chosen from three different programs in senior high school, natural science program, social science program and language program. From each program, the researcher took one version.  Then, the questions were grouped based on Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy using checklist as instrument.  In obtaining qualitative data, the researcher conducted a semi-structured interview and three schools were chosen in Tondano. There were six teachers to be interviewed. The finding shows that the cognitive domains of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy used in question items of 2015/2016 English National Exam for senior high school level are remembering, understanding, applying and analyzing levels. Specifically, remembering and understanding levels are the most frequent levels used. There are no evaluating and creating levels found in the exam questions. It was found that question items in 2015/2016 English National Exam for senior high school level are constructed to assess students’ lower level thinking skills. There is no aim at assessing students’ higher level thinking skills in the level of evaluating and creating. The presence of lower level thinking is not balanced with the presence of higher level thinking questions. Teachers have diverse perspectives on question items in 2015/2016 English National Exam for senior high school level related to Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. The construction of the test should be the responsibility of the local government including schools considering that the real understanding and achievement of students are really known by the teachers who have been teaching and accompanying them throughout the school hours. The speaking skill test items should also be contained in the test.

Why We Gather: Educational Empowerment and Academic Success Through Collective Black Parental Agency
Authors: Rall Raquel M.
Published: September 2021

Though previous literature has explored the importance of parents in education, scholarship has failed to empirically demonstrate the influence voluntary parent groups have on the educational trajectory of Black students. Using institutional agency and community cultural wealth frameworks, the author qualitatively evaluates a Black parent group’s self-initiated efforts to influence the academic outcomes of high-achieving students. The author illustrates how one parent organization negotiates an environment in which their racial group comprises less than 5% of the population to effectively guide and support families as their students navigate academic success. Findings show that at least three critical components— accountability, alliances and networks, and legitimacy—are vital in the provision of collaborative support and agency on behalf of high-achieving students.
Parent engagement in reclassification for English learner students with disabilities
Authors: Burho Jamey , Thompson Karen
Published: September 2021

Laws governing special education services and EL services specify different roles forparents in educational decision-making. Little research exists on home-schoolcommunication for families of English learner students with disabilities (ELSWDs), whoare navigating both sets of services. We conducted six case studies of ELSWDs toexamine parents and educators’ communication about educational services and,specifically, how parents were engaged in decisions about whether students should bereclassified and exit EL services. Findings suggest that educators conveyedinformation to parents using a one-way transmission approach (Nichols & Read, 2002).Parents often had incomplete or inaccurate information about their children’s services,had questions and concerns that they did not voice to educators, and sought out non-school sources to inform their decision-making.
Choice With(out) Equity? Family Decisions of Child Return to Urban Schools in Pandemic
Authors: Cotto, Jr. Robert , Woulfin Sarah
Published: September 2021

In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, most schools across the country closed in-person instruction for a period of time and many shifted to online schooling. Beginning in fall 2020, schools around the United States began reopening and many districts offered families a decision or “choice” to return their children to an in-person or online schooling experience. In many cities, this approach complicated existing school choice and permanent closure policies with already existing equity issues. Building upon previous scholarship on school choice and closure, this study draws on the concept of school choice with(out) equity (Frankenberg et al., 2010; Scott & Stuart Wells, 2013; Horsford et al., 2019). Using data from an online survey (n = 155 participants) in August 2020, this study examines why families (50% white, 50% people of color) decided to return their children to in-person schooling in Hartford, Connecticut. This study uses a mixed-method analysis of qualitative responses and quantitative data to understand family decisions to return to in-person schooling (Creswell, 2014). Rather than school choices with full equity considerations during the pandemic, these family responses focused on needs of childcare for full-time work and health safety. These responses suggest a partial equity in the landscape of available choices. The study raises questions about reapplying old forms of school choice to a new form of temporary school closure during pandemic.

Correlation between Class Evaluation of University Students and Procrastination
Authors: Adachi Miki , Adachi Keisuke
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to clarify how the characteristics of class evaluation are related to the time of submission of the assignments by university students. Specifically, this paper considered class evaluation based on the three interactions of value of use, value of interest, and expectation and examined the correlation between each factor and the interaction of the factors and the submission time of the assignments. 47 (22 boys and 25 girls) who received responses to the class evaluation questionnaire and agreed to use the data were analyzed. As a result, it was shown that the value of interest and the interaction of value of use and value of interest influenced the timing of submission of the assignments. On the other hand, when the value of interest was low even if it was useful, there was a tendency to delay the submission of the assignments. Interestingly, the assignments were submitted faster when they were less useful and less interest. Using this result as a starting point for clarifying the mechanism of procrastination and pre-crastination and demonstrate the reproducibility of whether the same tendency can be seen even if the scene or target person is changed in the future.
Development of system of automated occupational health and safety management in enterprises
Authors: Bochkovskyi A.P. , Sapozhnikova N.Yu.
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Develop a system of automated occupational health and safety management
to improve the procedure for minimizing occupational risks and ensure comprehensive
protection of employees from the impacts of negative factors of the systems "man - machine
- environment".
Design/methodology/approach: The following set of scientific methods was used in the
study: analysis of normative-legal documents and scientific-technical literature in the field of
building and functioning of occupational safety and health management systems, methods
of system analysis, simulation methods, namely discrete-event simulation (DES) of random
and dynamic processes, methods of decision theory and data mining.
Findings: Based on the results of the research, a system of automated occupational health
and safety management, which due to the connection the functionally independent elements
(according to a certain scheme) allows to provide comprehensive protection of employees
from the impacts of negative factors of the system "man - machine - environment" and
reduce occupational injuries and diseases, was developed. This is done by constant
monitoring and promt correcting of parameters of impact on the employee of the specified
factors. The developed system was implemented in the occupational health and safety
management system of the industrial enterprise "Stalkanat-Silur" (Odessa, Ukraine),
resulting in reducing the number of accidents, in particular, in dangerous areas of production
by 33.3%, increasing the economic efficiency of the enterprise through increasing the level
of productivity by 5% and reducing in the number of social insurance payments by 11%.
Research limitations/implications: The developed system can be implemented both
within separate industrial premises and in the enterprise as a whole, but the number of its
elements could be changed (increase / decrease) depending on the number of jobs and
dangerous areas that need control.
Practical implications: The implementation of the proposed system allows to increase
the level of economic efficiency of the enterprise by increasing the level of labor productivity
due to reducing the negative impact on the employee of harmful factors and compliance
with rational mode of work and rest in each workplace, as well as by reducing the number
of social insurance payments due to reducing the occupational injuries and diseases.
Originality/value: For the first time the system of automated occupational health and
safety, which, in contrast to existing automated occupational risk minimization systems and
traditional occupational health and safety management systems, provides comprehensive
protection of employees from the the impacts negative factors of the system "man -
machine-environment", by constant monitoring the parameters of such impact and their
prompt correction in case of deviation of the specified parameters from the set criteria, was
developed and proposed for use at enterprises, institutions and organizations.

Die Idee, Kinderrechte in das Grundgesetz aufzunehmen, geistert schon seit Jahrzehnten durch den politischen Raum. Im Koalitionsvertrag zur im September zu Ende gegangenen Legislaturperiode hatten sich CDU/CSU und SPD darauf verständigt, das Projekt bis Sommer 2021 zu verwirklichen. Doch der nach mehreren Jahren Vorarbeit vorgelegte Vorschlag zur entsprechenden Grundgesetzänderung ist am Ende gescheitert - und wäre nach Ansicht des Autors ohnehin nicht mehr gewesen als symbolische Politik.

Die Telematikinfrastruktur will alle Akteure im Gesundheitswesen digital vernetzen. Im Mittelpunkt soll dabei der Patient mit seinen Daten stehen. Medizinische Informationen, die für die Behandlung der Patienten benötigt werden, sollen schneller, einfacher verfügbar und der Datenschutz soll gewährleistet sein. Durch die Vermeidung von aufwendigen Mehrfachuntersuchungen, Übermittlungsfehlern und Zeitverzögerungen kann Geld gespart und die Qualität der Gesundheitsversorgung verbessert werden. Prof. Helmut Kreidenweis von der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt appelliert an die Leistungsanbieter von Pflege und Sozialdiensten, das Thema nicht zu verschlafen.

Published: September 2021

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the common causes of long-term disabilities and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin administration on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) in patients with TBI. Methods: This double-blinded randomized clinical trial included 60 patients with TBI in Golestan Hospital of Ahvaz, Iran. After obtaining an informed consent from all patients, the patients were randomly assigned into two groups. For the intervention group, atorvastatin with a daily dose of 20 mg was used. The control group was administered the same amount of placebo for 10 days. Changes in the level of consciousness were measured using the GCS, and functional recovery rate in patients was measured by GOS and DRS in the third follow-up month. Results: According to the obtained results, compared with the control group, the atorvastatin administration significantly increased the level of GCS and DRS within 2 - 3 months post-intervention and improved GOS since the tenth day after the study (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The results revealed the positive effect of atorvastatin on the improvement of outcomes measurements such as GCS, DRS, and GOS in patients after moderate and severe TBI.
Salivary Malondialdehyde Level as a Lipid Peroxidation Marker in Early Childhood Caries
Authors: Amrollahi Narjes , Enshaei Zahra , Kavousi Fatemeh
Published: September 2021

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is an aggressive and multifactorial form of dental caries in children, in which the biomarkers of oxidative stress may increase. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the salivary malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in children with early childhood caries (ECC) and caries-free (CF) children. Methods: To this end, 42 ECC children and 42 CF children, aged 4 - 6 years, were randomly selected from the kindergartens of four socio-economically different districts of Isfahan. An unstimulated saliva sample was obtained from children fasting during the past night using the spitting method. In the laboratory, the MDA levels were evaluated spectrophotometrically. An independent-samples t-test was used to examine the differences between the two groups. Results: The mean salivary MDA level was significantly higher in the ECC group than in the CF group (P = 0.01), and there was no significant relationship between salivary MDA and gender (P = 0.44 in the ECC group, P = 0.30 in the CF group). Moreover, no significant relationship was noticed between MDA with decayed, missing, filled teeth (dmft). Conclusions: The findings documented a relationship between ECC and MDA as one of the products of oxidative stress reactions. Accordingly, the MDA level of saliva can be a critical indicator in determining the status of caries in children.

Published: September 2021

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common neuropsychiatric disorder worldwide. Inadequate response of OCD patients to a usual agent makes this disorder a great challenge, and recent studies have recommended augmentation therapy as a new choice. Objectives: As traces of noradrenergic dysfunction have been noted in OCD pathophysiology, the current study aimed to assess the efficacy of clonidine augmentation therapy for treating OCD. Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial conducted on 57 OCD patients divided into the two groups of 1-mg clonidine augmentation therapy (n = 28) and placebo group (n = 29). The medication was administered for 12 weeks. Patients’ primary treatment, including SSRIs or clomipramine, continued by receiving the same dose used before participation in this study. The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) and Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale (CGI-S) were used to assess the patients at the start of the study and then at four-week intervals. Drug-related adverse effects and global improvement were assessed and compared between the two groups. Results: The initial CGI scores were 3.89 ± 1.57 and 4.10 ± 1.61 at the baseline and 2.29 ± 1.18 and 3.07 ± 1.51 at the end of the study in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Both groups revealed a significant improvement (P-value = 0.001) with no significant difference between them (P-value = 0.22). The primary Y-BOCS score in the clonidine-treated group was 27.61 ± 8.08 versus 28.69 ± 7.44 in the control group at the baseline, which declined to 20.25 ± 6.08 versus 25.45 ± 7.35 at the end of the study, respectively. Both groups revealed a significant improvement (P-value = 0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference between them (P-value = 0.06). Drug-related complications were not statistically different between the two groups (P-value > 0.05); however, the clonidine-treated patients presented more adverse effects than control subjects. Conclusions: Although the use of clonidine posed no remarkable drug-related adverse effects, it was not superior to placebo considering symptom relief.
