Authors: Fernandes de Castro Sabrina , Zanchi Boueri Iasmin , Azevedo Ferreira Kristina Desirée
Published: July 2023

O presente texto tem como objetivo apresentar a pesquisa realizada a partir da formação continuada intituladas “Deficiência Intelectual: Atualização do conceito, formação e práticas pedagógicas (FCDI)”, realizadas com a parceriaentrea Federação Nacional das APAEs(Fenapaes), o Grupo de Estudose Pesquisaem Educação Especial e Deficiência Intelectual (GEPEEDI), a Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) e a Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR). O curso foi ofertado no Brasil na modalidade remota no ano de 2022, com oito unidades que possuíam um design composto por materiais instrucionais construídos com base no Manual da Associação Americana de Deficiências Intelectuais e de Desenvolvimento (Schalock, Luckasson & Tassé, 2021), entre eles: videoaulas, telas interativas, livros, dissertações, artigos, jogos e perguntas interativas de sistematização. A pesquisa foi composta por seis perguntas que foram respondidas ao final de cada uma das unidades teóricas. Sessenta e seis profissionais atuantes nas unidades especializadas da Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE) das cinco regiões do país e três acadêmicas do GEPEEDI se inscreveram. Destes, 44 concluíram o curso. Justificamos a relevância da discussão acerca da definição de Deficiência Intelectual (DI) abordada durante a formação por apresentar os constructos que permeiam a abordagem integrativa. Dentre uma das questões, foi solicitado que os participantes refletissem sobre a importância do Paradigma de Apoio no Brasil. Eles foram unânimes quanto à importância desse paradigma na prática, a exemplo da fala: “Quando colocado em prática, este permitirá cada vez mais a realização de planejamentos de ensino centrados na pessoa que auxiliem na independência dos estudantes com DI, poisestão articulados com seu contexto e necessidades reais de aprendizagem”. Percebeu-se que a compreensão e sistematização trazidas permitiram que cada profissional pudesse não apenas compreender os aspectos teóricos, mas também articulá-los com estratégias que podem ser utilizadas junto às pessoas com Deficiência Intelectual.

Considerar los cuerpos más allá de una construcción biológica es tomar en cuenta la creación de identidades desde otros cuerpos teóricos, que rompen con los conceptos de género binario y responden a un continuo proceso reflexivo, y por tanto de aprendizaje. Analizar la vivencia de la construcción de la feminidad de una mujer transexual, mediante la revisión de su historia de vida y su proceso de transición, para descubrir propuestas alternativas a lo establecido como el discurso binario sexo-género. Esta investigación fue un estudio de caso de tipo cualitativo y dealcanceexploratorio; bajo un enfoque deteoríafundamentada. La unidad deanálisisfue una mujer transexual de 41 años de edad, se realizó una entrevista semiestructurada, empleando una guía temática. Las entrevistas se aplicaron a la participante y a su sexólogo clínico, con el fin de concurrir información respecto a las temáticas de análisis, conjuntamente se aplicó la técnica de fotobiografía. En el proceso de transición se experimentaron limitaciones, entre las cuales destacaba la falta de información y el uso de ideas que han dejado de ser válidas a las exigencias de la actualidad. En el proceso de transición se experimenta un desajuste de identidad, además de la relación con mensajes negativos, expectativas y el desconocimiento por parte de la otredad, que generan constantes limitantes en un proceso de transición que, al construir la feminidad, rompe con lo establecido al discurso binario sexo-género, considerando más allá de una sola forma de ser mujer.

Especificidade dos modificadores do núcleo do sintagma nominal em português e em búlgaro
Authors: Chergova Vesela
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de um estudo contrastivo de certas estruturas morfossintáticas que realizam o modificador do sintagma nominal em português e em búlgaro. Tal tópico insere a pesquisa na abordagem comparada entre dois tipos linguísticos: o românico e o eslavo. Para além de se sugerir uma sucinta panorâmica da tipologia dos modificadores em ambas as línguas, define-se a nomenclatura das estruturas morfossintáticas em questão e a análise focaliza-se nos instrumentos específicos que não têm correspondência formal nas duas línguas. Um dos recursos específicos do português é o uso de infinitivo introduzido por preposição (um almoço de lamber os dedos) que em búlgaro aparece introduzido por conjunção da mais a forma conjugada (finita) do verbo (един обяд да си оближеш пръстите), posto que em diacronia os verbos na língua búlgara perderam a forma infinitiva. A estrutura conhecida na linguística búlgara como da-construção é igualmente capaz de introduzir orações relativas com o predicado finito em indicativo ou conjuntivo, não possuindo o búlgaro morfemas categoriais de conjuntivo. O estudo, portanto, lança hipóteses de identificar e esclarecer as capacidades arquimodais e arquitemporais do infinitivo, por um lado, e de verificar o seu impacto, ou o impacto das suas estruturas equivalentes, nos processos de determinação e delimitação do sintagma nominal, por outro. No tema convergem assuntos do desenvolvimento do nível histórico da linguagem, como também da configuração mental dos conceitos categoriais e discursivos a nível universal da linguagem.
Variazione dei frasemi nelle lingue europee alla luce delle ricerche attuali
Authors: Mišetić Damir
Published: July 2023

Le varianti fraseologiche, nonostante la struttura stabile dei frasemi nelle lingue europee sono una realtà presa in considerazione già nei dizionari fraseologici realizzati di solito a mano. Alla luce delle nuove ricerche basate soprattutto sui dati estratti dai corpora elettronici, tuttavia, essa è trattata in modo del tutto nuovo. Benché i frasemi accanto alla loro polilessicalità, lessicalizzazione e non di rado anche all’idiomaticità abbiano una struttura più o meno stabile, grazie alle ricerche attuali diventa più chiaro che spesso si contraddistinguono anche per l’esistenza di varianti. L’intento di normare la fraseologia non ha avuto gli stessi esiti e il successo che si può riscontrare nell’ambito della pronuncia, dell’ortografia o della grammatica. Le varianti sono parte integrante del frasema, cosa che è testimoniata dalle divergenze tra i dizionari fraseologici nella determinazione della forma canonica del frasema.
The main non-invasive neuromodulatory techniques: an infographic
Authors: Lopes Tiago da Silva , Lopes Larissa Conceição Dias , Lopes Tallya da Silva , Lopes Tallita da Silva , De Oliveira Lilian Becerra
Published: July 2023

INTRODUCTION: This infographic aims to present the main non-invasive neuromodulatory techniques that can be used to assess and/or modulate central nervous system excitability. Single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to assess brain excitability through the delivery of magnetic pulses over the cerebral cortex. The motor evoked potential is an indirect measure of motor cortex excitability and is the most used cortical measure of excitability. RESULTS: Neuromodulation may be achieved through several techniques, which may be used to promote top-down or bottom-up effects. Among the top-down techniques is direct current stimulation (DCS) which can change its nomenclature according to the stimulation target, for example, transcranial (tDCS), or cerebellar (ctDCS). In addition, also can be included in top-down techniques  the  transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), transcranial alternate current stimulation (tACS), and repetitive TMS (rTMS). On other hand, the bottom-up techniques include the peripheral electrical stimulation (PES), transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS), and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS). CONCLUSION: The neuromodulatory effects are dependent on several parameters that can be specific to physical principles (electrical or magnetic). For example, in repetitive P/TMS the frequency, type and angular orientation of coil, distance between the coil and the brain, pulse waveform, and pattern of stimulation are presented as important parameters able to interfere with the quality of stimulation. The same can be observed in tDCS, ctDCS, and tsDCS with the polarity and shape and montage of electrode, intensity, site and duration of stimulation, and current density.
The use of transcranial direct current stimulation in individuals with cerebral palsy: a scoping review
Authors: Freire Ana Carolina , Dos Santos Vitor Nascimento , Machado Bibiana da Silveira dos Santos , Goulardins Juliana Barbosa , Marques Juliana Bilhar
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in early childhood and persists throughout life, causing limitations in daily activities and social participation. Neuromodulatory interventions using non-invasive brain stimulation, like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have been increasingly investigated, aiming to influence cortical excitability in neurologic conditions, including CP. OBJECTIVE: To summarize current evidence for the use of tDCS on individuals with CP. METHODS: Using scoping review methodology, the terms "cerebral palsy" and "transcranial direct current stimulation" were screened in PubMed, Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO, PEDro, and Embase databases, searching for clinical trials that applied tDCS interventions into children and adults with CP. Quality assessment of all eligible studies was performed using the PEDro Scale. RESULTS: A total of 1773 articles (including duplicates) were found, of which 14 met the predetermined criteria. Two hundred and thirty-three individuals with CP, with ages ranging from 5 to 27 years, participated in these studies. The main therapeutic effects of anodal tDCS were reported on upper limb dysfunctions, balance, and gait. The primary motor cortex was the most frequently applied target. The combined use of tDCS with other motor training techniques, such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and treadmill locomotor training, showed better results. CONCLUSION: Emerging evidence reveals that the use of tDCS in individuals with CP is safe, feasible, easy to apply, tolerable, and effective when performed according to the recommendations available to date. The tDCS protocols in these studies were partially homogeneous, and sample sizes were generally small. More large-scale longitudinal studies are needed, particularly in individuals with ataxic and dyskinetic CP.
Use of water generated by air conditioners for non-potable purposes
Authors: Melo Allan Jayson Nunes de , Soares Maria Carolina Duarte Marques , Silva Simone Rosa da , Soares Willames de Albuquerque
Published: July 2023

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using condensate water from air conditioners for non-potable purposes in a hospital building located in the city of Recife-PE, Brazil. The applied methodology was divided into the following steps: investigation of the amount of water generated by the condensate, where it was used in three ways to observe the volume of water produced, the first through the collection with a graduated cylinder and application of equations, the second through hydrometers installed in the condensate drainage network and the third by installing a rain gauge with arduino in the equipment drain. The second methodological step was to take the non-potable consumption demands of the building to the points that consume garden watering, cooling towers and hospital hygiene by washing and mopping the floors. The results show that the equipment in the building has the potential to generate a significant amount of water, with an estimated value greater than 640 m³ if it were to collect water from all equipment. In some periods, the condensate water from all the equipment would be able to meet 92.6% of the building demand. These results are positive in relation to the amount of water produced by air conditioning equipment, in order to meet the demands that do not require potable water for their activities, thus presenting a new water source for buildings.
Negative entropy production in L-lactate dehydrogenase kinetics
Authors: AV Stepanov , MA Stepanov
Published: July 2023

Fröhlich theory of coherent excitations in biological systems is analyzed. L-lactate dehydrogenase kinetics is studied using the activation process model for non-equilibrium cases. The model explains the process of energy accumulation necessary for carrying out catalytic reactions in a living cell by means of interaction of quantum subsystems with thermal equilibrium radiation, light, and radiation energy of metabolic processes occurring in the cell. It is shown that lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+ in three ways, that is, three reactions occur simultaneously. Negative information entropy for the reactions under consideration is calculated. Its absolute value is equal to that of information entropy of the elementary activation act. This fact ensures the principle of stable non-equilibrium and indicates the reaction under consideration belongs to a living cell.

Continuous professional development in medical practice
Authors: AK Ghosh , A Ghosh
Published: July 2023

Maintenance of professional competence remains an exercise of lifelong learning and an essential requirement for evidence–based medical practice. Physicians attend continuing professional development (CPD) programs to acquire new knowledge. Often CPD programs remain the main source of updating current information. CPD organizers have considerable responsibility in determining appropriate curriculum for their conferences. Organizing an effective CPD activity often requires understanding principles of adult education. Prior to deciding on the curriculum for a CPD, course organizers should conduct needs assessment of physicians. CPD planners should create activities that would consistently improve physician competence. CPD sessions that are interactive, using multiple methods of instructions for small groups of physicians from a single specialty are more likely to change physician knowledge and behavior. Effectiveness of a CPD program should be evaluated at a level beyond measuring physician satisfaction. CPD planners should incorporate methods to determine the course attendees’ improvement of knowledge, skills and attitudes during the CPD activities. Pre and post conference evaluations of physicians using multiple choice questions may form a useful method of assessment. Keywords: continuing professional development (CPD); adult learning; needs assessment
Ощущизм — утопия или антиутопия?
Authors: Малинецкий Георгий Геннадьевич
Published: July 2023

В настоящее время мир входит в постиндустриальную эпоху, в которой главные угрозы и наибольшие возможности связаны с совершенствованием человека и общества. Современные технологии дают человечеству возможность выбора будущего, поэтому стремления, желания, большие проекты, утопии приобретают огромное значение. Они определяют, каким способом может быть пройдена нынешняя точка бифуркации. В триаде «рацио — эмоцио — интуицио» мыслители эпохи Просвещения делали акцент на первой сущности, полагая, что именно знание дает людям мир, благополучие и перспективу. Мировые войны показали ошибочность этого взгляда.

Милль видел либеральный вариант будущего, Ленин — социалистический, Бердяев — религиозный. Все они, исходя из своих представлений, рассматривали человека в его целостности. Однако технологии меняют людей и позволяют развить их определенные черты, поменяв тем самым сценарии их жизни и тенденции развития общества.

Один из вариантов формирования новой реальности был представлен в недавно вышедшей книге Игоря Харичева «В гуще чужих ощущений». Парадоксальным образом эта книга может рассматриваться и как утопия, и как антиутопия. В представленном в этой книге мире люди могут получать или покупать ощущения других людей, и это очень многое меняет. Осмысление этого варианта будущего заставляет по-новому взглянуть на многие философские и научные проблемы, связанные с сущностью человека. Ряд из них и рассмотрен в данном тексте.

На каком языке говорить об этих сложных многоплановых и многоуровневых системах? Наиболее подходящим языком, по-видимому, является теория самоорганизации или синергетика. Несколько десятилетий ее рассматривали как подход, лежащий на пересечении сфер предметного знания, математического моделирования и философской рефлексии. Понятие самоорганизации в XXI в., вероятно, станет таким же общим, как концепции «сознания», «информации», «рефлексии». Синергетика активно исследует сегодня всю триаду «рацио — эмоцио — интуицио». Именно ее язык и используется в этом тексте.
Увидим ли мы феномен биологической идентичности? Проблема социогуманитарной дескрипции
Authors: Белялетдинов Роман Рифатович
Published: July 2023

Установление связи между биологическим и социогуманитарным научными дискурсами все более преобразуется в задачу науки, и ее целью является раскрытие образа биологической идентичности как идентичности культурной. Этот феномен рассматривается как концептуальное определение жизненного мира через стремление расширить осмысление человека с использованием современных концепций в биологии, не отказываясь при этом от традиционных подходов, возникших в рамках философии и этики. Встраивание биологического и биомедицинского знания в социогуманитарные дисциплины становится запросом не только на познание, но и на самопознание человека или, по крайне мере, на нахождение альтернатив традиционным философским и этическим репрезентациям человека, с сохранением последних. Феномен биосоциальности выступает не только как способ решения локальных проблем отдельных сообществ, но и значительно шире — как дополнительная для культуры версия представления человека о самом себе, вытекающая из критики трансцендентального понимания субъективности и обращения к контингентности как основе, на которой можно было бы построить модель человека.

Authors: Yadav Priyanka , Kumar Alok , Kansal Sangeeta
Published: July 2023

Background: India is home to 253 million adolescents 10-19 years of age, among the largest cohorts globally. This age group comprises of individuals in a transient phase of life requiring nutrition, education, counselling and guidance to ensure their development into healthy adults. Adolescent girls are the most vulnerable group of population due to different reasons especially anaemia. Anaemia is a major public health problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of anaemia and associated factors among adolescent girls (10-19 years) in rural Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
Methods: The present study was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted among 369 adolescent girls in rural Varanasi with a semi-structured and pretested questionnaire.
Results: Study shows that the overall prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls was 67.8% out of which 41.5% and 24.4% were mild and moderately anaemic respectively. Anaemia was significantly associated with age groups, birth order, menarche status, no. of days of menstruation, gap between two cycles, use of clothes/sanitary pads and no. of pads used during menstrual cycle.
Conclusions: Study found some preliminary factors significantly associated with anaemia like low socio-economic status, higher birth order, and knowledge about menstrual hygiene practices. Anaemia continues to be a major public health problem in India despite multiple initiatives to address it among adolescent girls.
Is skin grafting in the patient with cutaneous sporotrichosis the definitive therapy?
Authors: Monterrubio Nayeli Marilú López , Sánchez Omar Sosa , Montaño Mónica Heredia , Barrientos Cheryl Zilahy Díaz , Tovar Fernando Navarro , Trujillo Hector Alejandro Carzolio
Published: July 2023

Sporotrichosis is a subacute to chronic infection caused by the dimorphic fungal genus Sporothrix. The infection usually affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues, but occasionally it can occur at other sites, mainly in immunocompromised patients. The symptoms of extracutaneous sporotrichosis can be subtle and diagnosis is often delayed. A 54-year-old male was received, originally from Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca; who was with an established diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus; later admitted by the general surgery service with a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis of the left and right thoracic limb. When culture was collected with Sporothrix schenckii report, management was established with itraconazole, potassium iodide and with subsequent addition of amphotericin B, with antibiotic therapy directed for superinfection by opportunistic agents. After multiple surgical cleanings with degradation of necrotic tissue, implementation of negative pressure system and amputation of nonviable fingers, it was decided to proceed with the application of skin autografts, despite the persistence of the agent in subsequent culture reports, which are fully integrated, without evidence of new ulcerodular lesions so far. Although there are currently no parameters defined in the literature that guide the time or the appropriate conditions to perform skin grafts in the areas affected by cutaneous sporotrichosis, there are, on the contrary, reports of successful cases where surgical management has been effective even in the presence of positive cultures for Sporothrix schenckii. We consider that these results open the panorama of options for the current management of cutaneous sporotrichosis, making it necessary to consider surgical management in the therapeutic range of the same, allowing the deliberation on other more conservative options before the failure of classical therapy and the imminence of amputation.
Study of awareness, enrolment, and utilization of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana in Gujarat, India
Authors: Thomas Bigi , Raykundaliya Dharmesh P. , Bhatt Sonal , Vadhel Ketal
Published: July 2023

Background: Ayushman Bharat-Pradhanmantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) envisages complete financial protection for around 50 crores of identified poor and vulnerable Indian beneficiaries against their catastrophic health care needs. Awareness is a pre-requisite that ensures enrolment and utilization of any health insurance program. Being a newly implemented scheme, very few studies are reported on the level of awareness, enrolment, and utilization of the AB-PMJAY scheme as well as the sources of information and support to the beneficiaries from Gujarat. So, this study aims to assess the current status of awareness, enrolment, and utilization of AB-PMJAY in Gujarat.
Methods: A multi-stage sampling method was used in this cross-sectional study in both rural and urban areas and altogether 1152 households were randomly selected from three districts of Gujarat. Ten trained field investigators collected data with the help of a structured interview schedule.
Results: AB-PMJAY is popular in Gujarat, with 24% high-level awareness and 47.8% moderate-level awareness. Out of 1152 households, 82.9% had AB-PMJAY cards, with a 43.3% utilization rate. Factors affecting awareness include area of living, religion, and caste. While 22.9% reported out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure with AB-PMJAY benefits, 15.1% reported non-utilization of their AB-PMJAY cards, despite needed. ASHA workers and Ayushman Mitras were the major sources of information.
Conclusions: The reported utilization rate in this study was only 43.3%, despite having impressive awareness and enrolment rates. The OOP costs must be reduced, and the issues that prevented households from using the AB-PMJAY benefits despite their need must be addressed.
Ossification of yellow ligament-lesser known common cause of thoracic myelopathy in Indian subcontinent treated surgically
Authors: Nair Vishnu , Shetty Abhijith , Kundnani Vishal , Jain Mukul , Chodavadiya Sunil
Published: July 2023

Background: To undertake a study which outlines the clinical and radiological features of ossification of yellow ligament (OYL) causing thoracic myelopathy (TM) in Indian subcontinent, to assess the outcomes of surgical resection of yellow ligament and compare different preoperative factors that contribute to be a risk factor in the overall post-surgical recovery rates (RR).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from a cohort of 45 patients who visited our spine OPD from January 2012 to December 2019 who underwent surgical decompression for TM due to OYL was studied. The surgical outcomes and RR were calculated, compared and pre operative risk factors which could possibly be involved in giving poorer RR were analysed.
Results: Our study included 45 patients who underwent surgical resection of OYL for TM. On comparison of post operative improvement in myelopathic symptoms, pre-operative mJOA score of 4.56 had increased significantly to 7.83 at 2 years follow up. While the majority (80%) of patients had an excellent and good recovery rate while 16% of patients had a fair recovery rate and 4% had no change at all in comparison to pre-operative mJOA scores. Preoperative risk factors for poor outcomes were also analysed.
Conclusions: Early and timely before the onset or progression of any neurologic involvement. The pre operative risk factors which could give guarded prognosis and lower RR are, the presence of intramedullary signal changes (myelomalacia), >6-10 months of progressive pre operative symptoms and an mJOA<5.

Acute Diarrhoea in children is the most frequent gastroenterological disorder and is a common cause of dehydration in children. The management of acute diarrhoea consists of the replacement of lost fluid with glucose-electrolyte oral rehydration solution. Probiotics have been used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of acute diarrhoea.

In this study we evaluated the efficacy of Bacillus clausii (TIL 19T, TIL 21C, TIL 28S, TIL 30R) in management of Acute diarrhoea in children. 48 children aged between 6 months and 15 years with acute bacterial gastroenteritis or acute viral gastroenteritis were included in the study. The study group received poly antibiotic resistant B. clausii strains (TIL 19T, TIL 21C, TIL 28S, TIL 30R)as a probiotic along with standard treatment for diarrhoea and the control group received standard treatment for diarrhoea without B. clausii.

The results at the end of 48 hours showed a significant improvement in very severe and high grade diarrhoea category in the children belonging to the study group. That is, all patients had recovered to low grade or normal grade (P < 0.01). Analysis of diarrhoeal stool group showed 64% of children in the control group continued to have loose stools as compared to just 24% in the study group (P < 0.01). No serious adverse events were recorded in both the groups.

The use of B. clausii strains(TIL 19T, TIL 21C, TIL 28S, TIL 30R)in Acute Diarrhoea in children has shown to improve the recovery time from the illness and improvement in stool consistency due to its probiotic effect.
Inclusión financiera con enfoque de género y datos desagregados por sexo en las mipymes argentinas
Authors: Pailhé Cristina
Published: July 2023

En 2020 las empresas de mujeres representaban el 33% de las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (mipymes) argentinas. Las mipymes de mujeres usualmente se encuentran financieramente desatendidas y se reconoce la importancia de desarrollar estrategias que mejoren su acceso a servicios financieros y el uso de los mismos para promover un desarrollo económico sostenible. En Argentina los datos de inclusión financiera desagregados por sexo solo se refieren a personas físicas, lo que resulta en una falta de datos desagregados por sexo para las empresas constituidas como personas jurídicas que impide cuantificar sus brechas de inclusión financiera y planificar acciones para cerrarlas. La incorporación de la dimensión de género en las personas jurídicas es aún limitada en las estadísticas oficiales y en las bases de datos de las entidades financieras. La política pública puede desempeñar un rol importante para abordar estos vacíos, por ejemplo, coordinando no solo las iniciativas de las diferentes instituciones del sector público a fin de establecer sistemas de medición para determinar las brechas de género en la inclusión financiera, sino también los esfuerzos de las entidades financieras para la adopción de definiciones uniformes de “empresa de mujer”. Los datos de empresas con desagregación de género, a su vez, pueden ayudar a las entidades financieras a ofrecer productos y servicios financieros adecuados a las necesidades de cada grupo.

Se estudió la remoción de metales pesados (Zn, Ni, Fe, Cu y Cr) en aguas residuales no domésticas (ARnD) reales de la industria de galvanoplastia (Medellín, Colombia) en un sistema discontinuo usando biomasa de cáscara (BCB) y pseudotallo de banano (BPT) obtenidos mediante procesos físicos simples. Los resultados fueron comparados con un carbón activado comercial (CAC). Los adsorbentes fueron caracterizados a través de FTIR, BET, Punto isoeléctrico, Boehm y DRX, mostrando poca variación hacia los materiales BCB y BPT en términos de composición química, morfología y estructura. También se determinaron las propiedades fisicoquímicas del ARnD previamente al tratamiento de adsorción encontrando una concentración inicial de 18,73 mg/L, 10,1 mg/L, 11,2 mg/L, 36,7 mg/L y 0,44 mg/L por espectrofotometría de absorción atómica para el Zn, Ni, Fe, Cu y Cr, respectivamente. Estos valores se compararon con la normatividad Colombiana la Resolución 0631 de 2015, donde se evidenció que sobrepasan los límites máximos permisibles establecidos. Las pruebas de adsorción se llevaron a cabo a temperatura ambiente, pH de 3,65 y 200 rpm variando la cantidad de adsorbente (1 - 5 mg) para un tiempo de 2 h. Los porcentajes máximos de remoción fueron de 42,69 %, 83,10 %, 95,17 %, 81,90 % y 99,82 % para Fe, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn y Cr, respectivamente. Se observa que los valores alcanzados con los bioadsorbentes son similares al carbón comercial, lo que sugiere que los residuos de banano podrían ser una alternativa de bajo costo para el tratamiento de este tipo de efluentes.
A fast and accurate camera-IMU calibration method for localization system
Authors: Tao Xiaowen , Meng Pengxiang , Zhu Bing , Zhao Jian
Published: July 2023

Autonomous driving has spurred the development of sensor fusion techniques, which combine data from multiple sensors to improve system performance. In particular, a localization system based on sensor fusion, such as Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM), plays a crucial role in environment perception and serves as the foundation for decision-making and motion control in intelligent vehicles. The accuracy of extrinsic calibration parameters between the camera and IMU is of utmost importance for precise positioning in VSLAM systems. However, existing calibration methods are often time-consuming, rely on complex optimization techniques, and are sensitive to noise and outliers, leading to potential degradation in system performance. To address these challenges, this paper presents a fast and accurate camera-IMU calibration method based on space coordinate transformation constraints and SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) tricks. The method involves constructing constraint equations by ensuring the equality of rotation and transformation matrices between camera frames and IMU coordinates at different time instances. Subsequently, the external parameters of the camera-IMU system are solved using quaternion transformation and SVD techniques. To validate the proposed method, experiments were conducted using the ROS (Robot Operating System) platform, where camera images and velocity, acceleration, and angular velocity data from the IMU were recorded in a ROS bag file. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves reliable camera-IMU calibration parameters, requiring less tuning time and exhibiting reduced uncertainty.
Promoting kaitiakitanga using picturebooks
Authors: Fernando Chedly , Kelly-Ware Janette
Published: July 2023

Kaitiakitanga is promoted in the revised curriculum document Te Whāriki—He Whāriki Mātauranga mō ngā Mokopuna o Aotearoa: Early Childhood Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2017). The authors give primacy to the Māori worldview of sustainable living through engaging with, and protecting, the natural environment. This article reports on a picturebook research project designed to support teachers to explore kaitiakitanga with young children in early childhood education settings. Two Aotearoa New Zealand picturebooks are featured, curriculum links are proposed, and feedback from a small sample of teachers about the picturebooks and curriculum links is reported. Picturebooks are powerful teaching tools and can provoke learning across the curriculum, as this research highlights.
A space for critique: Opening up the world with young children, through the possibilities of critical pedagogy
Authors: Kahuroa Raella , Lees Jacqui , Johns Tina , Ng Olivia , Abeyratne Nilma
Published: July 2023

Critical pedagogy has the potential to create transformation experiences within early childhood settings, as educators open up children’s worlds to explore fairness, equity, and democratic participation across issues of interest and relevance to young children. Using a critical inquiry framework, informed by the work of Paulo Freire, teachers from an Auckland kindergarten provided examples of what the critical pedagogy elements can look like in practice with young children. These illustrative glimpses demonstrate the workability and impact that critical pedagogy can have in an early childhood education setting.
МЕТОД КОДУВАННЯ НИЗЬКОІНФОРМАТИВНИХ СЕГМЕНТІВ ВІДЕОІНФОРМАЦІЙ-НОГО РЕСУРСУ ДЛЯ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЇХ ДОСТУПНОСТІ

Обґрунтовується значимість відеоінформаційного ресурсу для багатьох прикладних сфер. В тому числі сюди відносяться системи управління, відеоконтролю, моніторингу, відеоконференційного зв’язку. Показується наявність дисбалансу між рівнями інтенсивності відеопотоку та існуючими характеристиками щодо забезпечення пропускної здатності інформаційно-телекомунікаційних систем. Це призводить до суперечності між означеними вимогами до якісних характеристик відеосервісів. Звідси існує потреба відносно підвищення рівня доступності відеоінформаційних ресурсів в умовах забезпечення їх цілісності з використанням інформаційних та телекомунікаційних технологій. Означені технології використовуються на різних етапах доставки відеоінформації. Одним з напрямком вирішення сформульованої проблеми є використання технологій кодування відеопотоку. Однак існуючи підходи не достатньо враховують семантичну та структурну вагу сегментів. Це призводить до виникнення втрат цілісності в умовах збільшення рівня стиснення відеоданих. Звідси, для сучасних технологій кодування існує протиріччя. Воно обумовлено наявністю обернено пропорційної залежності між об’ємом кодованих сегментів та рівнем їх семантичної цілісності. Обґрунтовано, що низькоінформативні сегменти дозволяють застосовувати нові процеси обробки. Вони забезпечують певне зменшення бітового об’єму сегментів. Показано, що це створює умови для підвищення загального рівня цілісності відеоресурсів. Тому мета статті полягає  у розробці методу кодування низькоінформативних сегментів відеоінформаційного ресурсу для підвищення їх доступності. Побудовано метод для створення синтаксичного опису компактного уявлення сегментів. При цьому вони не впливають на втрату семантичної цілісності відеоресурсу. Метод включає наступні етапи обробки. Перший ‑ виключати кількість психовізуальної надмірності в часовому просторі на основі : виявлення областей допустимої корекції за локальним показником; округляти базові елементи області допустимої корекції до шести старших біт. Другий – усувати структурну надмірність на основі формування параметрів для опису області допустимої корекції.
