Evaluation of Acitivity of QoI Fungicide against Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. Causing Pepper Anthracnose Using Resazurin-Based Respiration Assay
Authors: Park Subin , Kim Heung Tae
Published: March 2023

Resazurin-based microtiter assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of fungicides on the respiration of Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. 20JDS8 sensitive and 20CDJ6 resistant to strobilurin fungicides. The spores of C. acutatum s. lat.. 20JDS8 were inoculated into potato dextrose broth (PDB) at densities of 1x104, 1x105 and 1x106 spores/ml, respectively. The relative fluorescence unit (RFU) of all treatments inoculated at each spore density started to rise after 12 hr of incubation, and were 1,965.5, 5,412.5, and 10,061.0, respectively, after 24 hr of incubation. To evaluate the inhibitory effect of fungicide on the respiration of the pathogen, the spores of the pathogen were inoculated into the PDB and treated with the fungicides 0, 6, 12, and 24 hr after incubation, respectively. After keeping the pathogen culturing for another 24 hr, PrestoBlue reagent was treated into the PDB culturing the pathogen. The RFU of each treatment was examined 1 hr after the reagent was treated. When dithianon, isopyrazam, pyraclostrobin, and fluazinam were treated at high concentrations in the stages of spores (immediately after inoculation [0 hr]), spore germination (after incubation for 6 hr), and hyphal growth (after incubation for 12 hr), the respiration of pathogens was inhibited by 90–100%. When the fungicides were treated after culturing the pathogen for 24 hr, the respiratory inhibitory effects were greatly reduced. With pyraclostrobin-resistant C. acutatum s. lat. 20CDJ6, azxoystrobin, trifloxystrobin and kresoxim-methyl, which have the same mode of action, had very little or no respiratory inhibitory effect in all growth stages of pathogens. Based on the above results, it was thought that the resazurin-based microtiter assay could quickly and accurately evaluate the inhibitory efficacy of the fungicides that inhibited respiration.

Published: March 2023

The goal of this study is to analyze trends of picture book research for older adults over 65 during last 15 years (2005-2019) to foresee research direction in the future. Forty-three domestic studies using picture books for older adults over 65 were selected from RISS with four types of academic data including academic journal articles, masters’ and doctoral dissertations, books, and financially funded public research reports. Picture book research of older adults over 65 steadily increased with a sharp upward slope toward the 3rd term (2013-2015) reflecting the aging society of South. Korea. Research subjects were mostly focused on older adults as characters/real people in books, illiterate, and dementia as well. Psycho-emotional therapy, self-related ingredients such as self-growth, -integration, -identity, -esteem, -confidence, and young children’s understanding of older adults Diverse research methods were used with literature reviews the most. The research frequency of academic fields are in the order of, education (especially early childhood & special ED), counselling and psychotherapy, and social science. More research for older adults over 65 are needed to improve their better life and easier adaptation to aging Korea through publications, psycho-emotional support systems, and publicly financed network and research reports for practical advocacy.

Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Lee Gyeong-sook , Byun So-yun , Kim Eun Young
Published: March 2023

This study is intended to develop a mentalization training program for parents with adolescents. Based on mentalization development theory and the mentalization-based treatment for adolescents and families by Fonagy and his colleagues, a program with four stages of understanding the mentalization attitude, practicing explicit mentalization, exploring mentalization inhibitory factors, and reinforcing effective mentalization was developed. 18 parents in G and P cities were recruited; the program was conducted on the experiment group and no treatment was given on the control group. According to analysis, the program had a significant effect on reducing parental non-mentalization and improving emotional regulation and relationships with adolescents, whereas there was no significant effect on certainty, interest and curiosity, which are sub-factors of mentalization. A supplementary analysis of the sessions and comments indicated that the program led parents to perceive their children as separate individuals from themselves.
And through the process of sensitively recognizing and validating each other's emotional signals, the level of arousal can be appropriately adjusted, so that they can interact without being easily immersed in their own and children's emotions. It leads to a positive virtuous cycle of gaining empathy from children as well as restoring confidence in maintaining close relationships with children.
A study on the “lexiculture” of French and Korean proverbs for enhancing French linguistic and cultural competence
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Kim En-Jung
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to enhance French linguistic and cultural competence by utilizing proverbs, one of the manifestations of “lexiculture”. In particular, this study examines the “lexiculture” of French proverbs related to 1, animals, 2, food, 3, objects that are frequently used by native French speakers in order to form useful educational materials for language and cultural education. To this end, this study first investigated a total of 90 French proverbs related to 1, animals, 2, food, 3, objects.
Next, through a survey, a total of 69 French proverbs related to these three topics that are frequently used by native French speakers were selected. In this process, the following two standards for measuring the frequency of use were established: first, whether it is frequently used in daily conversations, and second, whether it is often used by people in their 20s to 50s who use standard language. Finally, the “lexiculture” of these 69 French proverbs was compared with the “lexiculture” of Korean proverbs, and related proverbs were cataloged according to frequency of use.

Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Jung Yunha , Baek Sun-Guen
Published: March 2023

This study is to derive cluster types according to teacher efficacy and enthusiasm of high school teachers by using the 9th year(2020) Gyeonggi Education Panel Study(GEPS) data and to investigate the characteristics of each cluster group. As a result of cluster analysis, the teacher group was categorized into four groups (Upper, Middle, Inactive, and Lower). Next, as the results of the ANOVA(F-test) to analyze the characteristics of each group, ‘the lower group’ was the lowest mean score in the ‘teaching· learning’ variables, and ‘the inactive group’ was the lowest mean score in the ‘school organization’ variables. In addition, as the results of multinomial logistic regression analysis based on ‘the middle group' to explore the main variables that can predict each group, the 'teaching·learning' variables are shown as relatively better predictors for each group than the 'school organization' variables. Based on these research results, implications for improving school organizational culture, teacher management, and teacher training were discussed in the future.
Linguistic Divide in between self and other: A Critical Analysis of Standardisation of Language: A North Kerala Village Study
Authors: K Fasna
Published: March 2023

This study examines the linguistic experiences of three caste categories in a community in North Kerala in an effort to comprehend how caste is embodied in language. It examines how linguistic inequality is caused by language standardisation and how people who speak non-standard languages deal with the issue without forsaking their mother tongue. Through a comparative comparison of three caste groups, including the scheduled caste (SC), other backward class (OBC), and the general category (GEN), the study was carried out in Thachankunnu in Kerala (GEN). The participants' direct experiences with the educational institutions are used to analyse the causes and effects of linguistic discrimination. The theoretical frame of the register has been used as the basis of analysis. The study found that participants experienced job loss and linguistic inequality in class participation, demonstrating the existence of language-based discrimination. In various contexts, dialect shifting is regarded as a means of concealing the social status and identity of vernacular language speakers. Identification of the value of mother tongue, language diversity, and resistance to deprivation all play essential roles in achieving language uniformity.

340 consecutive pediatric patients were included in this study.
Parameters including canal prevalence, number and size (mesial-distal and buccal-lingual diameters) were measured on CBCT axial images.
82.1% were found NCs in the anterior region of the mandible. The mean number of NCs were 1.39 in males and 1.49 in females. However, there were no significant age and gender-related differences in the mean number of NCs.
The mean diameter of NCs were approximately 0.6mm in both males and females. However, there was no significant age related differences in the size of NCs in both males and females.
In conclusion, this was the first study that described normal CBCT findings of mandibular anterior NCs in pediatrics. The prevalence of accidents or lesions in anterior mandible is low, by preoperative knowledge of the NCs in anterior region of the mandible, complications such as injury to the NCs can be avoided in pediatrics.
Atrioesophageal Fistula: imaging for a definitive diagnosis
Authors: Colwell Carter , Strat Nicolas , Keramati Cameron , Schammel Christine , Bolton William , Devane Aron
Published: March 2023

Aim: Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia, with a prevalence of 37.574 million cases worldwide. Atrioesophageal fistula is a rare but potentially fatal complication of ablation of atrial fibrillation developing up to 60-days post-ablation with a prevalence of 0.07% to 0.25%, and a 63% mortality. While chest CTs are abnormal in most of these patients (76%-93%), definitive atrioesophageal fistula is noted in only 23-35% of cases, complicating pre-intervention diagnosis. Surgical repair of the left atrial and primary esophageal defect is essential for these patients, resulting in reduced mortality compared to nonsurgical management (33.71% vs. 94.19%). Methods: Our case series and comprehensive review of the literature highlights the diagnostic and treatment challenges of atrioesophageal fistula. Results/Conclusions: For symptomatic patients within 60-days post-ablation, IV contrast-enhanced helical chest CT with thin section collimation as initial imaging and axial reconstruction utilizing a 1mm-mm detector with sagittal and coronal reformats should be completed to allow for optimal identification of abnormalities consistent with atrioesophageal fistula. Patients with neurologic symptoms with the presence of pneumocephalus, infarcts involving one or more vascular territories, or diffuse air emboli that are highly suggestive of atrioesophageal fistula, warrant a chest CT with IV contrast to evaluate the presence of AEF. An initial unremarkable chest CT does not rule out atrioesophageal fistula and repeat chest CT with IV contrast within 1-3 days increases the likelihood of a definitive AEF diagnosis. Surgery is the only recommended management in patients with atrioesophageal fistula who are clinically stable enough to endure the procedures.

Published: March 2023

Background: Antimicrobial resistance imposes one of the leading global health issues and is strongly associated with the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials. Objective: The present study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding the use of antibiotics among urban and rural population in the southeastern European country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted by convenience sampling technique among people who visited health centers, malls, and also online. In total, 1057 questionnaires were completed, of which 920 were completed in the city of Mostar (i.e. urban area), while 137 in the municipality of Grude (i.e., rural area). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to process the results. Results: Participants from Mostar had better knowledge about antibiotics (p = 0.031) and a higher level of education (p = 0.001). Women showed markedly better knowledge in the group of urban area responders (p = 0.004). Improper use of antibiotics was more common among respondents from Grude; they tend to use antibiotics more frequently and almost half of them are prone to self-medication (p = 0.017). Overall, those classified with adequate knowledge showed less tendency to irregular antibiotic intake. Having a medical worker in a family was significantly associated with better knowledge regarding antibiotics, while educational level was not. Conclusion: Although a significant number of respondents showed adequate knowledge about the use of antibiotics, there were noticeable irregular behavioral patterns, while significant differences between urban and rural population were detected as well. Further analysis is required to access the whole specter of the issue and to initiate policies directed toward reducing inappropriate use of antibiotics and bacterial resistance to these medications.

Published: March 2023

Background: The lack of information relating to the definitive factors causing domestic violence has resulted in the lack of sound and effective programs; this makes the need for further research in domestic violence more imperative. Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the factors and impacts of domestic violence in developing countries. Methods: This study is a significant contribution to the existing literature, based on the use of data from the international literature of the last ten years and the evaluation of the degree that the domestic violence affects the lives of women both at an individual as well as a community level. Studies related to the scope of this review from international databases (Google Scholar, PubMed and Scopus) were used. The inclusion criteria comprised studies in English, published between 2012 and 2022 and studies which, apart from the prevalence or types of domestic violence investigated social factors related to violence in women of different ages in developing countries. Results: The results of the study showed that partners-husbands are the main perpetrators of domestic violence. The prevalence of domestic violence ranged between 29.4% and 73.78%, with the highest prevalence observed in Bangladesh. Conclusion: The factors affecting domestic violence were the young age of marriage, the low education level, non-proper execution of household chores, financial issues, patriarchic families, non-proper cooking according to the husband’s desire, dowry issues, giving birth to a girl, poverty, women’s work but also women’s unemployment, other children in the family and their neglect according to the husband, husband’s unemployment and the personal experiences of domestic violence for both partners. In addition, significant risk factors were the husband’s addiction to substances and the wife’s refusal for sex.

Authors: Zhou Chenyue
Published: March 2023

With the development of science and technology, Problem-based Learning (PBL) has gradually attracted people's attention, which has become an important issue about how to enable students to develop more. This paper mainly analyzes the previous studies to illustrate the different effects of PBL model education on students, especially when being compared with traditional model education methods. This paper not only examines the effects of PBL, but also the underlying reasons of these effects. Results show that PBL positively impacts students compared with traditional education. Also, it can improve students' active thinking, hands-on, and teamwork cooperative ability. These positive effects can help students adapt to future work and project learning. Meanwhile, the reason for these positive effects is the change in PBL and traditional teaching methods.
How Advertising Promotes Harmful Gender Stereotypes in China? - Critical Discourse Analysis of Fuyanjie's and Ubras' Advertising
Authors: Fan Siyu , Long Miyayou
Published: March 2023

As society progresses and develops, women's rights are increasing, but gender stereotypes are still a significant problem in society today. Harmful gender stereotypes are highlighted by the male gaze, which is the legacy of a patriarchal society. The male gaze inadvertently induces and disciplines women, which is a kind of objectification of women. In this paper, advertisements of Ubras and Fuyanjie are used as samples to analyze the psychological mechanisms of advertising harmful gender stereotypes and the underlying patriarchal logic in China. Plus, the authors also analyzed the adverse effects of such advertising on different age groups in society, especially women. Finally, the authors provide advice on alleviating the baneful effects of harmful gender stereotypes from two levels: authority and individual. Critical discourse analysis is used as the main methodology. The purpose is to keep women appropriately alert in this information age and to guide them to form a correct view of the body, aesthetics and values.

Authors: Li Ling , Xu Yuran
Published: March 2023

The high school student body faces a major life transition in the form of university entrance examinations, and as it grows older, the multiple life and academic pressures it has to face increase. The stronger the mental resilience of the students, the stronger the sense of subjective well-being they can generate, and the more relaxed and enjoyable the whole learning and growth process will be. To address the intrinsic relationship between mental resilience and subjective well-being of high school students and the specific teaching influencing factors, we can guide students to form a better mental state by actively enhancing the implementation of aesthetic education, physical education, family involvement and mental health teaching in schools.
The Impact of Interpersonal Relationships on Learning Anxiety in Junior High School Students
Authors: Li Junnan , Yu Siting
Published: March 2023

Junior high school students are at a critical stage of adolescent development. These children are emotionally sensitive and prone to mental health problems. A survey of the mental health status of junior high school pupils found that the detection rate of learning anxiety was highest in junior high school pupils and increased with grade level. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the causes and influencing factors of learning anxiety in depth. This study analyzes and compares the existing literature on the effects of interpersonal relationships on learning anxiety in junior high school students. Results show that normal parent-child relationships, supportive teacher-student relationships, and peer support were all negatively associated with learning anxiety. In contrast, unhealthy interpersonal relationships will increase students learning anxiety level. This paper explores how parent-child, teacher-student, and peer relationships influence learning anxiety among junior high school students, reviewing and collating data to derive both a dominant-subordinate and an integrative perspective. Overall, interpersonal relationships affect learning anxiety in junior high students in different ways and to various degrees, and interpersonal relationships affect the generation and mitigation of learning anxiety in junior high students to some extent.
Bohemian Rhapsody and How Does a Classical Music Represent the World of Pop Music
Authors: Deng Xiyao , Wang Bojun
Published: March 2023

The famous music live show Live Aid in 1985 was a milestone in the development of the 20th-century music industry and entertainment. The song Bohemian Rhapsody was featured as one prominent reason for this success. This study chooses the song as a research target with classical music analysis and pop music performance. The performance of this song differed in several live conditions while the core identity of the song remained the same. By depicting the attributes of this single as both a classical music masterpiece and modern music industrial production, this research also synthesizes the core motivation of whole complete album named Night at the Opera. It is argued that the design and plot for the original soundtrack were fundamentally classical with some tricks to mime a quasi-operatic style, however, the complexity did not agree with the style of live performance so several changes and adoptions were.
A Sociolinguistic Study of the Dynamics of Taboo Language in Intercultural Communication
Authors: Xue Yujie
Published: March 2023

The prevalence of intercultural communication is underpinned by the ongoing globalisation of contemporary communication. As an important branch of sociolinguistics, the issue of Chinese-English taboos has become typical of the study of intercultural communication. Based on the different linguistic features of the Chinese and English languages, and the obvious differences in such features, the two are constantly confronted with the confrontation and challenge of taboo language in intercultural communication, not to mention the new vocabulary of communication that has emerged as a result of the development of the Internet. When taboo language and specific communication situations on both sides are accurately analysed, it is more likely that the root of the problem can be identified and avoided in order to ensure the progress and quality of intercultural communication. The analysis of regular cases from recent years has shown that the active avoidance of the direct use of taboo language and the reinforcement of linguistic knowledge for reasons of cultural sensitivity are effective in preventing intercultural communication errors.
Verbal Humor in Stand-up Comedy “Rock & Roast” with the GTVH Theory
Authors: Gao Xinying
Published: March 2023

The General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH) has been a significant pragmatics theory since Attardo and Raskin put it forward in 1991. Six knowledge resources (KR) are included in GTVH: script oppositions (SO), logical mechanisms (LM), situations (SI), targets (TA), narrative strategies (NS), and language (LA) to analyze verbal humor. As a comedic performance on stage, stand-up comedies have experienced explosive popularity in China in recent years. This paper extracted four excerpts from the final round of a stand-up comedy TV show “Rock & Roast” Series 5 and applies qualitative research to analyze them with the theory of GTVH. From the analysis, different KRs of SI and TA showed up to give the audience several interesting contents. In the SO KR, from the most to lowest abstract level are all used in the script. At the same time, LM, NS and LA KRs as tools serve for the contents. It is obvious that LM varies among these excerpts, but NS are usually the same and LA can be absent in the performances. The straightforward content KRs of SI and TA are more obvious, LM, but NS and LA are sometimes unnoticed, which are essential tools to make the text effective. It suggests the feasibility of combining Chinese stand-up comedy with pragmatics theory and it extends the traditional studies in this field.
Analysis on the Ways Hitler’s Speech Caused Huge Harm to The Jewish Race
Authors: Fang Yuwen
Published: March 2023

Hitler was a famous trigger of war and genocide, and a talented demagogue. However, according to the existing information and research data, most studies focus on him personally, not on his speech text techniques. This paper analyzes how his speeches burst with power using the following theories in details：language game theory, demagoguery rhetoric and rally effect. These three theories are often used in his speeches and became a catalyst for conflict. After these analyses, people can understand how did Hitler skillfully use the theories to help him and how his speeches exactly worked. Through these, this paper hopes to remind people of the power of language, to learn from history, and to avoid being compelled by speeches that can cause unexpectedly huge harm to others. Language is far beyond just a tool for communication, with elaborately planning, it could instantly become a hazardous weapon that careful utterance of words should always be born in mind.
Leslie's Love for Life with Its Musical and Lyrical Stylizations
Authors: Cheng Guangrui
Published: March 2023

This study chooses famous Hong Kong artist Leslie Cheung's song Love for Life for a detailed analysis of the musical and performance culture of that time. The song this study chooses has the style of Feng Yansi’s Song Poems Ye Jinmen, with a strong literati atmosphere, beautiful and colorful, euphemistic and implicit. Love for Life not only has good lyrics, but the music also exquisitely embodies the artistic conception of the lyrics. Through Leslie's singing, he sings such classical poetic lyrics in a monologue poet's voice. The live version of his 1988 concert, complete with medieval prince costumes, is quite Romeo style, reminiscent of Lam Yihua's words 'If there is a Romeo in the world, I think he is similar to you'. Apart from the analysis of Leslie, this study also draws some attention to the other contributors such as Zhong Xiaoyang. It is argued that through the cooperation of these artists, the song successfully represented the golden age of Hong Kong and one of the peaks of Cantonese culture.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ORDEM DE ADIÇÃO DE INGREDIENTES NO PROCESSO DE MISTURA DA BORRACHA NATURAL (NR): UMA ANÁLISE QUALITATIVA POR MEIO DA MODELAGEM MOLECULAR
Authors: Da Costa Helson Moreira , Ramos Valéria Dutra
Published: March 2023

A ordem de adição dos ingredientes em uma formulação elastomérica de borracha natural foi investigada utilizando-se a modelagem molecular e o processo de adsorção hipotético. Duas sequências foram avaliadas, o sistema óxido de zinco (ZnO) e o sistema ácido esteárico (C18), através da metodologia dos campos de força AMBER. Os dados teóricos permitem supor que, embora não exista diferença estatisticamente relevante entre as energias de adsorção, o sistema C18 parece não trazer vantagens em sua adoção enquanto o sistema ZnO somente parece ser efetivo quando a sequência sugerida pela norma ASTM é obedecida. Uma ordem de adição aparentemente ideal no sistema ZnO é sugerida, mas a natureza do processo de adsorção é alterada, assim como a disposição dos aditivos.

O impasse vivido pelos moradores do Município de Cajazeiras – PB, devido aos fenômenos hidrológicos, é reflexo de uma gestão que atua deficientemente no manejo de águas pluviais, do qual é incapaz de suportar períodos longos de chuvas fortes e intensas, e que associado à disposição incorreta de resíduos sólidos, gera a obstrução dos canais de drenagem, o que dificulta ainda mais o escoamento das águas. Além disso, tem-se também uma expansão urbana que cresce constantemente, que evidencia a desigualdade social vivida, que as pessoas de menor poder aquisito são afastadas para as áreas mais periféricas, que possuem estruturas mais sensíveis a ocorrências de desastres ambientais. Somado a isto, também é feito mau uso e ocupação do solo, em que maior parte do território é impermeabilizado, em que alguns casos sequer possui destinação para as águas, o que facilita o surgimento de alagamentos e inundações. Todos esses fatores citados vêm ocasionando situações de riscos para a população. Tal situação é ainda mais alarmante uma vez que é observado diversos edifícios com estruturas precárias, do qual grande parte são situadas em bairros mais pobres. Tendo isso em vista, este trabalho analisa os possíveis fatores que estão acarretando e agravando situações de alagamentos e inundações, bem como verifica as regiões mais afetadas, classificando o nível de riscos para as mesmas, possibilitando assim elaborar e promover medidas de prevenção e controle, proporcionando uma maior segurança e qualidade de vida para a população. Ademais, ao longo do estudo foram apontados os logradouros com as condições mais precárias, bem como foram classificados os níveis de riscos para cada localidade. Portanto, foi identificado na pesquisa a utilização de um sistema de drenagem de águas pluviais discrepante da realidade do Município estudado, possuindo em sua maior parte logradouros de médio risco quanto a alagamentos e inundações sendo construído uma proposta de medidas para amenizar as probabilidades de perigo decorrentes de agentes ambientais.
Victimisation by Policy Exclusion: The Case of Internally Displaced Persons in Nigeria
Authors: Andzenge Dick T. , Iorbo Rita
Published: March 2023

This paper discusses the victimisation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria by policy exclusion. It asserts that while in policy, Government bears the primary responsibility for the protection and assistance of all IDPs irrespective of the cause of displacement, in practice, humanitarian response plans for the protection and assistance of IDPs exclude victims of armed Fulani herdsmen conflicts from assistance. It also found that several proposed federal bills to address the armed Fulani herdsmen-farmer conflicts have focused on securing land from victimised farming communities to establish settlements for the Fulani herders. However, none of the bills has prohibited arbitrary displacement; return, resettlement or rehabilitation of persons displaced by the armed Fulani herdsmen. The paper concludes that the exclusion of victims of the armed Fulani herdsmen conflict from national humanitarian response plan is a strategy of Government that is unwilling to recognise and address the armed Fulani herdsmen as a national security challenge. It recommends that the Nigerian Government holistically addresses internal displacement and provide equal protection and assistance to all victims of displacement as stipulated by the Nigerian national policy on internal displacement.

Bacopa monniera (Brahmi), a saponin-containing medicinal and culinary herb, can be used to enhance memory and rejuvenate the brain. Moreover, it has other human health benefits. The cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. has been shown to produce bioactive compounds and plant growth regulators like indol acetic acid (IAA), which regulates various aspects of plant growth and development. This research aimed to study the effects of Nostoc sp. extract (NTE) supplement concentration in liquid medium on Brahmi survival rate, growth parameters, and saponin content. The experiments were designed using randomized complete block design with five treatments and three replications, including Bristol’s medium (BT), pH 6.0 (control solution), and BT with four concentrations of NTE: 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0%(w/v). The results indicated that IAA was found to increase with increase in NTE concentration. The IAA concentration in 1.0%(w/v) NTE was 43.56±3.21 pmol.mg-1 Ch-a. NTE supplementation at 0.001%, and 0.01%(w/v) had no negative effect on Brahmi survival rate, while the Brahmi survival rate decreased with increase in NTE concentration up to 0.1% (w/v). The optimal NTE concentration for Brahmi growth was 0.01%(w/v), which produced the highest shoot number, shoot height, root number, root length, leaf number, and chlorophyll content. Brahmi grown under all treatments was extracted and determined for the saponin content. The results showed that the levels of saponin from Brahmi grown in 0.01%(w/v) NTE had increased by two-fold over the control. This study showed that NTE supplementation enhanced the growth and saponin levels of Brahmi and NTE could be used as bio-promoting agent for plant growth and development.

Introduction: Primary pituitary lymphoma (PPL) is a rare disease characterized by lymphoma confined to the sella or parasellar region without systemic involvement. The clinical symptoms of PPL may include headache, hypopituitarism, visual field disturbance and visual impairment. To date, there is no established standard treatment for this condition.
Here, we present a case of successful treatment with a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
Case report: A 78-years-old man with a history of severe left renal insufficiency caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis, and sequential right nephrostomy, underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the altered hormonal status. An enlarged pituitary stalk was noted and led to a diagnosis of lymphocytic hypopituitarism.
Six months later, visual field disturbance and visual acuity deterioration developed, and an MRI revealed a neoplastic lesion and further enlargement of the stalk and the pituitary itself, with an obvious optic nerve compression. Expedited transsphenoidal partial resection was performed to relieve the compression. Pathohystology led to the diagnosis of the large B-cell lymphoma of the germinal center origin. Because of the patient’s poor renal function, high-dose methotrexate therapy was not an option; rather, the patient was treated with a BTK inhibitor - tirabrutinib. Symptoms improved within a week, and a follow-up MRI confirmed a marked reduction of the pituitary lesion.
Conclusion: BTK inhibitors may be considered as a first-line treatment option for PPL, especially in patients with contraindications for other treatment protocols.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to create a rubric based on the pedagogical properties of educational robots for pre-school students and determine the compliance level with educational robot sets. In this sense, the study is considered a first and significant step toward selecting robots based on pedagogical-driven factors. For this aim, a mixed-method research design was employed. A qualitative method was used to create the rubric items, and the rubric development was also supported through a quantitative process by including expert opinions and ensuring content validity. Furthermore, a descriptive survey model, one of the quantitative designs, was used to examine the suitability of educational robots for the pre-school education level. As an outcome of this study, a rubric of four dimensions with 28 items related to the pedagogical features of educational robots in pre-school was created. Furthermore, widely used educational robots at the pre-school level, such as Kidoboto, Lego Wedo, Mbot, Lego Spike, Lego Ev3, and Matatalab, were evaluated by experts using the created rubric.
ANÁLISE MULTITEMPORAL (1975-2017) DA EXPANSÃO DA ÁREA CONSTRUÍDA NA REGIÃO FRONTEIRIÇA DE CORUMBÁ (MS)
Authors: Cabrero Diego Ribeiro Oquendo , Matheus Bacani Vitor
Published: March 2023

A região fronteiriça de Corumbá (MS) está localizada entre o Brasil e a Bolívia, sendo formada também pela cidade brasileira de Ladário (MS) e as cidades bolivianas de Puerto Quijarro e Puerto Suarez. Para definir a área de estudo foi realizado um recorte dos municípios com a criação de um buffer de 8km a partir da sede dos munícipios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as mudanças ocorridas no uso e cobertura da terra entre os anos de 1975, 1985, 1994, 2005 e 2017 com enfoque na área construída, utilizando imagens Landsat. Para o processo de análise multitemporal das alterações na paisagem foi utilizado o método de classificação orientada a objeto – Geographic Object Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA). Foram definidas cinco classes temáticas: agropecuária, área construída, áreas úmidas, corpos hídricos e vegetação. A validação do mapeamento foi calculada pelo índice Kappa que apresentou resultados excelentes, superiores a 0,8 para todos os anos. Os resultados da análise multitemporal demonstraram que a expansão da área construída ocorreu principalmente substituindo áreas de agropecuária, no entanto também chamou a atenção a recuperação de áreas de vegetação no intervalo entre 2005-2017 decorrentes de processos de regeneração com influência antrópica.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: classificação orientada a objeto; detecção de mudança; região fronteiriça; Corumbá.
AULA DE GEOGRAFIA SOBRE A GEOPOLÍTICA DO AFEGANISTÃO PARA ALÉM DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES E SIMPLIFICAÇÕES MIDIÁTICAS
Authors: Ladeira Francisco Fernandes
Published: March 2023

O presente trabalho relata uma aula de Geografia que abordou a geopolítica do Afeganistão, enfatizando a volta ao poder do grupo Talibã naquele país da Ásia Central, vinte anos após a invasão estadunidense. A prática pedagógica em questão foi realizada em uma turma de 9º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola particular, localizada no município de Conselheiro Lafaiete, Minas Gerais. Para melhor organizar sua dinâmica, o professor dividiu a aula em três momentos: 1) Geografia do Afeganistão; 2) Breve histórico do Afeganistão contemporâneo; e 3) Afeganistão na mídia. Por se tratar de uma temática atual e bastante em voga nas redes sociais, foi possível constatar um grande interesse por parte dos alunos, o que demonstra a importância de a sala de aula dialogar com questões presentes nas discussões cotidianas.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Afeganistão; Talibã; Geopolítica; Geografia; Sala de aula.
REFORMAS NEOLIBERAIS E O CURRÍCULO DE REFERÊNCIA DO ESTADO DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL: REFLEXÕES SOBRE O ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA
Authors: Viana Juan Marco da Silva , Batista Ricardo Lopes
Published: March 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o Currículo de Referência do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul de acordo com as propostas estabelecidas para a construção dos conhecimentos geográficos, através de um olhar crítico acerca do referencial, que, assim como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), são frutos das reformas e das políticas neoliberais para o sistema educacional. Para tanto buscou-se, através da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental acerca da Geografia escolar, literatura congênere e dos referidos currículos, analisar as problemáticas em torno da formação crítico-reflexiva dos educandos. Por fim, foi verificado que, no que é proposto pelo referencial de Mato Grosso do Sul, há lacunas em relação à formação crítico-reflexiva de acordo com as problemáticas instauradas pela lógica de mercado neoliberal, que têm como propósito, a partir das reformas educacionais, estabelecer a educação como um instrumento de concretização de estratégias globais.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino de Geografia; Reformas Neoliberais; Referencial Curricular; BNCC; Formação Crítico-reflexiva.
DA DES-ENCOBERTA AO HABITAR A FRONTEIRA:
Authors: Soares Nathalia Flores , Nolasco Edgar Cézar
Published: March 2023

Este ensaio se delineia a partir da fronteira-sul, meu biolócus geoistórico e epistemológico e propõe estabelecer uma teorização outra crivada à luz da noção de desprendimento a partir da obra A descoberta do mundo (1992) de Clarice Lispector. Desse modo, minha discussão se assenta na crítica biográfica fronteiriça como forma de melhor teorizar acerca do lugar em que estão alocadas minhas sensibilidades locais. Na esteira dessas afirmações, este ensaio propõe teorizar acerca da figura de Clarice Lispector enquanto cronista, de modo que seus escritos re-descobrem a exterioridade biogeográfica do Brasil no bojo da discussão angariada na obra supracitada. Como proposto pelo texto-epígrafe, ensejo des-crever minha história local, bem como, a história do Brasil pelos olhos de Clarice Lispector na condição de cronista expectadora do mundo.
