Published: October 2024

Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) is a class of lung diseases involving diffuse parenchyma affecting alveolar, interstitial, and small airways which worsen quality of life and cause early mortality. It is important to comprehend how various occupations affect interstitial lung diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of ILD and the relationship between ILD and occupation. Methods and Materials: In June 2022, a retrospective analysis was carried out in a tertiary care facility. Using purposive sampling, 252 participants were chosen from the medical records. Occupation along with the duration, area of residence, and associated illness was evaluated using a questionnaire. The latitude and longitude of the areas were mapped using Q-GIS mapping and plotted on the map. Results: Among the 252 study participants, the majority of them (71%) were non-industrial workers and 29% were industrial workers. ILD affected 40% of the research patients. It was discovered that there were 86 cases of interstitial lung disease (84.3%) among industrial workers compared to 16 cases (15.7%) among non-industrial workers. This difference was statistically significant (p-value <0.05). In the Q-GIS Mapping, Clustering was found in Mysuru district, extension to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. Conclusion: According to the Geospatial mapping of RespiratoryDisease cases from the past 5 years, the majority distribution is in and around Mysuru. There was a relationship between occupation and ILD was found in this study. Hence, further preventive measures are to be taken to prevent ILD in certain occupations.

Published: October 2024

The most important genus in the Rhamnaceae family is Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk). Phytochemicals present in Ziziphus have antioxidant as well as antimicrobial properties. The present study aimed to detect various phytochemicals and evaluate the antibacterial activity in the Z. mauritiana leaf extracts. Leaves from 14 cultivars/germplasm/varieties of Z. mauritiana were used to explore the presence of various phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, phenols, saponins, protein, steroids, tannins, lignins, and reducing sugar. These phytoconstituents have antioxidant, antibacterial, and hepatoprotective activities. The preliminary antimicrobial activity screening of Ziziphus leaf extract against bacterial strains-Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive), Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Salmonella abony (Gram-negative), E. coli DH5α (Gram-negative) were performed by using well diffusion method. The results of various phytochemicals like alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and amino acids were reported in all selected commercial varieties/cultivars/ germplasm. On the other hand, saponins were found completely absent in methanolic solvents of all varieties/cultivars. The aqueous and methanolic solvent leaf extract were tested for antibacterial activity at different concentrations (25mg/ml, 50mg/ml, and 100mg/ml) against the bacterial strains of B. subtilis, S. aureus, S. abony, and E. coli DH5α, respectively. This study showed that the phytochemicals extracted from Z. mauritiana leaves have potential antimicrobial activities.

Authors: Malani Nikita Gurudas , Patil Smita Chandrakant
Published: October 2024

Adductor strain is most commonly seen in football players. To help ease groin pain and improve the flexibility of muscles, stretching techniques like ballistic stretching, static stretching, etc can be used. Static hip adductor stretching and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching, which is relatively new, are two effective techniques to increase muscle flexibility. This study examines the effects of these two stretching techniques on tight hip adductors. Method: Fifty people were chosen based on the inclusion criteria. There were two groups of subjects. PNF and static adductor stretching were administered to Group A. Group B received adductor stretching. These methods were used for three different days. Using a goniometer, the abduction range of motion was measured before the start of the first session and at the conclusion of the last one. Flexibility was measured before the first session and at the end of the previous treatment session by groin flexibility test. The inter-group analysis for Range of Motion (ROM) between Group A versus Group B showed a statistically significant difference by using an unpaired ‘t’ test. Results: Group A’s post-intervention flexibility values were 17.23, whereas group B’s were 13.5. There was a sizeable difference between Group A and Group B in the intergroup analysis of flexibility. The unpaired “t” test was used for this purpose. Conclusion: It is concluded that PNF stretching exercises had a statistically significant effect on the abduction range of motion and groin flexibility scores.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, is a common endocrine illness that affects 3.7% to 22.5% of fertile Indian women. It is characterised by abnormalities related to reproduction, metabolism, and hormones. This six-month prospective cohort study at Chalapathi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences examines the relationship between PCOS, obesity and high blood pressure. With 118 cases of PCOS detected among the 1246 participants who completed the comprehensive questionnaire, the study finds a substantial correlation between PCOS, obesity (p = 0.00061) and hypertension (p = 0.00061). Findings show that PCOS is more common in college students, underscoring the importance of lifestyle choices like nutrition, exercise and stress reduction. Additionally, the study finds that academics are more likely than IT workers or stay-at-home moms to have PCOS, which is associated with greater rates of obesity and hypertension. The results highlight the need for focused interventions, such as lifestyle changes and educational initiatives to reduce PCOS risk factors and enhance health outcomes. This study expands our understanding of PCOS and highlights the value of early detection and individualised treatment plans.
Análisis del concepto de Universalismo basado en Seyla Benhabib
Authors: Salamanca Correa Rodrigo
Published: October 2024

El presente escrito es una reflexión que surge a partir de la asistencia junto con un grupo interdisciplinar de profesores de la Universidad Militar Nueva Granada, al programa de Derechos Humanos en el terreno: Europa 2024, que incluyó visitas a múltiples escenarios relacionados con el tema, espacios de análisis y discusión con base en diálogos, foros y conferencias sustentadas por académicos, representantes de instituciones con roles históricos trascendentes, actores de organismos internacionales defensores de los Derechos Humanos, víctimas de violación de sus derechos, etc. La extensa práctica docente ejercida contribuye a tal reflexión, pero además se vincula el estudio de algunas aportaciones filosóficas de una reconocida académica, Seyla Benhabib (Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona, 2024) quien refiriéndose a los Derechos Humanos articula el universalismo con el particularismo, dado que a tales derechos le conciernen los dos ámbitos (el privado y particular del individuo, pero también lo universal propio de las sociedades actuales y su propio sentido de humanidad); se hará referencia a uno de sus artículos (Benhabib, 2008) en el que desentraña conceptos como el derecho moral fundamental, su legalización y su conexión con la autodeterminación democrática, así como su legitimación en el ámbito internacional, promoviendo así la posibilidad de un marco comunicativo amplio que permita la expresión y la opinión de cada individuo respecto de las leyes que rigen su propia vida. En términos generales, se pretende extraer algún tipo de conclusión sobre estos temas, ligada en lo posible a las circunstancias de nuestra sociedad colombiana.
Behavior intention in coping cloud adaptation
Authors: COSTA LOURO ALAMIR , Melo Mariana , Brandão Marcelo
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the indirect impact of perceived technology complexity on the adoption of cloud platforms by data scientists in Brazil. Specifically, it examines the mediating role of perceived work-related opportunities and behavioral intentions, as well as the use of exploration-to-innovate coping strategies. The research employs an online questionnaire survey and uses Confirmatory Factor Analysis, SEM, and OLS to analyze the data. The findings suggest that a serial mediation effect focused on behavioral aspects can better explain the adoption of cloud computing technology. The study identifies the need for further investigation into the potential moderating effects of voluntariness and self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived technology complexity and cloud platform adaptation. Moreover, incorporating other exogenous constructs such as new adaptation strategies, job outcomes, and job satisfaction may provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing technology adoption in the context of data science. The study highlights that reducing technology complexity can lead to increased adoption, better user experience, better retention rates, more innovation possibilities, and better competition position. However, additional training and support requirements for data scientists can increase the cost and time required for onboarding and maintenance. A cloud platform that is easy to use can enable remote work and collaboration, opening up opportunities for job growth and flexible work arrangements. This can be particularly beneficial for Brazilian professionals who have strong innovation skills but limited training and support. By transcending geographic barriers and infrastructure limitations, a user-friendly cloud platform can help bridge the digital divide. On the other hand, a complex cloud platform can widen the digital divide, particularly in developing countries, exacerbating existing inequalities. The research contributes to theory building by providing a serial mediation framework that better explains technology adaptation phenomena by combining coping theory and technology acceptance model.

Published: October 2024

O ambiente educacional sofreu diversas transformações nas últimas décadas, dentre elas, o alto índice de competitividade em detrimento do surgimento de novas instituições de ensino superior dos setores privado e público. Um dos possíveis diferenciais da instituição seria o fortalecimento de sua marca perante seus stakeholders internos (alunos, funcionários, professores) e externos (governo, órgãos de fomento, concorrentes). Uma das formas de identificar o comportamento da marca seria atribuir a ela características humanas, posto que o consumidor tomaria sua decisão compatibilizando a mesma com sua própria personalidade. Portanto, o objetivo do trabalho é avaliar a personalidade de marca da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia sob a ótica de seus alunos e egressos dos cursos de Graduação situados nos campi da cidade de Uberlândia-MG. A pesquisa tem abordagem quantitativa descritiva e amostragem aleatória simples. A coleta de dados é pautada no método survey. O instrumento utilizado é a Escala de Dimensões de Personalidade de Marca proposta por Muniz e Marchetti (2012), os quais moldaram a escala de Aaker (1997) ao contexto brasileiro. Os resultados evidenciam que a personalidade de marca UFU é percebida, precipuamente, pela dimensão Credibilidade, com destaque às afirmações “Eu acredito que a UFU é respeitável”, “Eu acredito que a UFU é responsável” e “Eu acredito que a UFU é confiável”; segundamente, Audácia, com ênfase nas características atualizada, criativa e moderna e, por último, Diversão.

DESEMPREGO EM MASSA PELA TECNOLOGIA: IMPACTO AMBIENTAL DO TRABALHO E DESENVOLVIMENTO INSUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: Caliendo Paulo , Gevezier Podolan Plinio
Published: October 2024

Este estudo se dedica a analisar o impacto das demissões em massa de trabalhadores em razão do emprego da tecnologia, sob a perspectiva do meio ambiente do trabalho. O recorte considera o fato de que o meio ambiente tem diversos elos, como o meio ambiente natural ou ecológico, o artificial, o cultural e, além desses, como previsto no art. 200, VIII, da Constituição brasileira, o meio ambiente do trabalho. Trata-se de uma análise emergencial, uma vez que reflete sobre o contraponto entre a velocidade do emprego tecnológico e a consequente substituição do trabalho humano em escala sem precedentes. Esse fenômeno relega uma massa de pessoas à margem de proteção, aumentando a miséria e a desigualdade social, o que, consequentemente, demonstrará que a adoção irrefletida da tecnologia pode se tornar insustentável. Assim, com base na análise de dados estatísticos sobre o desemprego tecnológico, faz-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica multidisciplinar que permeia o Direito, a Filosofia e a Economia e, a partir das evidências encontradas, critica os vieses acadêmicos que restringem o olhar para a tecnologia apenas como redentora, fato que não se confirmou, até o momento, na realidade brasileira.
Self-creation of Older People in the Perspective of Developing Wisdom and Adaptation to Changing Roles in the Family and Society
Authors: Fabiś Jakub
Published: October 2024

Old age is a stage of life during which a person must confront the changes that occur both in the reality around them and in themself. Those are changes at the biological, psychological and social levels. Adapting to old age and the roles it brings becomes a difficult and demanding task. One of the most important developmental tasks of an elderly person is developing wisdom that can support and facilitate the process of adaptation to old age. Entering the period of late adulthood is therefore a special opportunity for further development and self-creative action of the individual leading to the creation of a mature identity of an old person. The aim of this text is to provide insight into the meaning and manifestations of this self-creative involvement, with particular emphasis on its importance in the process of adaptation to changing roles in old age and building wisdom.
O znaczeniach nadawanych rodzicielstwu przez mężczyzn w kontekście doświadczenia poronienia dziecka
Authors: Miernik Bożena
Published: October 2024

Tematem artykułu są znaczenia nadawane przez mężczyzn rodzicielstwu w kontekście doświadczenia przez nich poronienia dziecka. Analizie zostały poddane wywiady narracyjne z mężczyznami, którzy w przeszłości doświadczyli poronienia jednego lub kilkorga dzieci. W podjętych badaniach celem było poznanie i zrozumienie rekonstruowanych przez ojców przeżyć, postaw i opinii związanych z tym doświadczeniem. Dane empiryczne zostały poddane procedurze kodowania i kategoryzowania, co umożliwiło wyodrębnienie ośmiu typów znaczeń nadawanych przez mężczyzn własnej roli rodzica i rodzicielstwu w ogóle. Wyniki analiz wskazują, że w kontekście doświadczonej straty mężczyźni określają swoje rodzicielstwo jako rozpoczynające się już przed narodzinami dziecka, jako relację z konkretną osobą, która jednak bywa „nie w pełni urealniona”, biorąc pod uwagę brak wyobrażeń i wcześniejszych doświadczeń ojcowskich. Bycie rodzicem w ich narracjach ujawnia się jako znacząca wartość i rola powiązana z osiągnięciem poczucia spełnienia.
List jako dokument biograficzny – wspólnota doświadczeń rodzinnych, na podstawie „Listów z Syberii Irki A.”
Authors: Golonka-Legut Joanna
Published: October 2024

Współcześnie, w świecie naznaczonym nowoczesnymi technologiami i możliwościami szybkiej komunikacji, zanika zarówno praktyka pisania listów, jak i oczekiwania na listy. Niemniej w literaturze naukowej dotyczącej biografii (jej rozumienia i badania) podkreśla się wartość i znaczenie dokumentów osobistych, takich jak np. listy, dzienniki, pamiętniki, które umożliwiają wgląd w indywidualne doświadczenia życiowe człowieka. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie istoty i rozumienia listów jako rodzinnych dokumentów biograficznych. Podejmowane w tekście zagadnienia stanowią efekt zrealizowanych badań biograficznych, w których, jednym z obszarów badawczych był edukacyjny potencjał pamiątek osobistych z perspektywy czasu. Jego (roz)poznawanie było m.in. związane z refleksją nad „Listami z Syberii Irki A.”, należącymi do jej brata Karola A. Głównymi problemami badawczymi, na które autorka poszukuje odpowiedzi, są: Jaka jest specyfika listów rozumianych jako dokumenty biograficzne, na przykładzie „Listów z Syberii Irki A.”? W jaki sposób „Listy z Syberii Irki A.” stały się rodzinnym dokumentem biograficznym? Jaka jest rola „Listów z Syberii Irki A.” w procesie kształtowania się biografii rodzinnej?

Published: October 2024

W niniejszym artykule omówiono wyniki badań jakościowych, których celem była analiza ujawnianych w reakcji na śmierć bliskiej osoby doświadczeń narratorek i mechanizmów ich radzenia sobie z utratą. Badania dokonano w oparciu o 28 listów, których autorkami były kobiety w przedziale wiekowym 21–89 lat, natomiast adresatami bliskie tym kobietom osoby zmarłe. Ponad połowę stanowiły kobiety w wieku dokładnie 23 lat. W większości przypadków listy były adresowane do nieżyjących już babć autorek. Zebrania danych dokonano z użyciem platformy internetowej – formularza google, a ich analizę jakościową wspomagano programem Atlas.ti.8. W wyniku dokonanej interpretacji treści listów wyróżniono trzy wymiary nawiązujące do strategii radzenia sobie ze śmiercią bliskiej osoby: zachowanie obrazu zmarłego takim, jakim był za życia, percypowanie obecności zmarłego w wymiarze ziemskim oraz wyobrażenia jego życia wiecznego. W relacjach narratorek dostrzec można zarówno perspektywę uznawania śmierci na poziomie emocjonalnym, jak i intelektualnym. Wyrażają one również potrzebę przywoływania wspomnień o zmarłym i pragnienie jego dalszej obecności w ich życiu. Jednym z celów każdego z tych mechanizmów jest niezbędne w procesie żałoby oswojenie się z utratą najbliższych.

Authors:   Global Studeis Education Association, Kim Jin-Seok , Jang Eun-Suk , Jeon Jae-Ho
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction of digital storytelling methods (DSM) for fostering primary English language learners' global digital citizenship (GDC). To achieve the purpose, this study extracted ways of DSM for fostering primary English language learners' GDC and effects of DSM for fostering primary English language learners' receptive and productive skills in GDC education through scoping study. The findings are as follows: (1) Teachers need to help foster learners' GDC through DSM based on robot-assisted language learning, mobile assisted language learning, video editing programs, web-based multimedia system, and storytelling app such as Toontastic. (2) It was shown that teachers need to design a series of activities such as ‘listen and perform action', ‘listen and draw’, ‘listen and match’, or ‘listen and transfer information’ through AI in education (AIED) systems and tools for learners to actively enhance their GDC in listening and reading activities. (3) In speaking and writing activities, teachers need to enable learners to express their own perspectives and create the sequence of events presented in a narrative related to GDC using AIED tools. From the findings, it was suggested that effective digital storytelling methods using AIED tools and systems should be used for English language learners to improve their GDC during receptive and productive activities.
The Legal System of Ancient Russian Tmutarakan
Authors: Kortyaev V. E.
Published: October 2024

The study focuses on the legal system and legal relations of the ancient Russian Tmutarakan, one of the most poorly studied administrative-territorial formations in the historical and legal science of the origin of the integral Ancient Russian state.

   The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the legal system of the Tmutarakan “principality”.

   To achieve this, the Author uses the maximum number of materials available and characterizes the legal relations of ancient Russian Tmutarakan; the norms of customary law and the foundations that were built on this territory and were traditional for Tmutarakan society. The research methodology includes general scientific (inductive, comprehensive, logical) and specific scientific (formal legal, historical) methods. Inductive, comprehensive and logical methods made it possible to systematize all the information on the topic available to the Author and formulate the problem, proving no related research in the national historical and legal science. The research uses formal legal and historical methods to explore the legal system of Tmutarakan from legal and historical points of view. There is no doubt that the early feudal development determined the development of the Tmutarakan legal system as the one built on principles of customary law. At the same time, the legal system is viewed from the modern point of view in order to prove the fact that in comparison with the native Russian principalities, in Tmutarakan, the development of law was not lower, but often much higher. The results of this research can be used in educational literature, manuals on theory of state and law, and to be later developed to start a new field in historical and legal science, which is currently required but does not exist yet, that is, legal archaeology. Having conducted the research, the Author comes to the following conclusion: there was a developed legal system and legal relations in Tmutarakan. Not until the end of the 21st century, the historical and legal records of Tmutarakan basically contained the information from the chronicles of folklore nature. Only with the development of archeology, in the late 21st – early 22nd centuries, more information about the ancient Russian Tmutarakan and other forms of statehood on the Taman Peninsula and Hermonassa, Tamatarch in the Crimea was revealed. At the beginning of the 21st century, the problem of legal nature of statehood was investigated in the dissertations on theory of state and law. However, up to the present, the subject has not been thoroughly explored.
A Public Law Mechanism for Protecting Citizens from Family Violence
Authors: Ravnyushkin A. V.
Published: October 2024

The paper examines the problem of family (domestic) violence in the Russian Federation, where a public law mechanism is used to ensure the protection of citizens' rights. Noting that the trends in the development of the system to combat family violence are being discussed in Russian society, the Author indicates that this system should be based on the Russian law and the milieu, i. e. taking into account the traditions and values of Russian society. The paper presents the analysis of public law studies on the functioning legal mechanisms to ensure the rights of citizens to be protected from domestic violence and identify the structural elements of those mechanisms. In particular, the Author defines the properties and elements of the public law mechanism for ensuring the protection of citizens from family violence, and proposes his own definition. The social environment generates a milieu of law and determines the trends in its development. The legal milieu itself is the basis for law-making activities. Due to the adopted or modified legal norms, when they are implemented in various ways over a long period of time, the social milieu also undergoes changes. These changes are viewed as cyclic; however, all the components of this cycle change qualitatively with each turn acquiring new properties. These cycles are directly related to the functioning of public law mechanisms to ensure the rights of citizens are protected. The mechanisms under consideration are dynamic: they themselves are subject to change and they impact certain areas of public relations in order to protecttheir values.

   The subject of the study is the norms of constitutional and administrative law, which are the basis for the public law mechanism ensuring the protection of citizens' rights to combat family violence.

   The purpose of the study is to formulate the concept of a public law mechanism for ensuring the protection of citizens' rights to combat family violence, to present the mechanism structure, its elements, which can be directions for improving the activities of the subjects of this mechanism.

   The functioning of the public law mechanism for ensuring the protection of citizens' rights to combat family violence is based on a set of legal norms, divided by the Author into 4 groups. The following components are among the elements forming the structure of the considered public law mechanism: subjects; instruments; legal and procedural forms of public administration; resources (procurement); a system to observe the legality of the subjects of the public law mechanism for the protection of citizens' rights to combat family violence; criteria and an assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the functioning mechanism under consideration.
Investigation of Embezzlement of Budget Funds: Efficiency Issues
Authors: Chumakov A. V.
Published: October 2024

The paper analyzes scientific and theoretical, organizational and practical ideas about the effectiveness and inefficiency of the investigation of criminal cases in general, and cases of embezzlement of budgetary funds, in particular. Case studies of effective and ineffective investigation of the specified criminal activity are given. The definition of effectiveness is formulated in relation to the investigation of embezzlement of budgetary funds, in which compliance with the main priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation is important. The paper analyzes the criteria for evaluating the law enforcement activities of law enforcement agencies. There are contradictions between the criteria of real effectiveness of the investigation and the requirements of statistical reporting by investigative authorities. In the context of the effective investigation criterion and with regard to the provisions of the “National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation” approved by the President of the Russian Federation, priorities of effective investigation in criminal cases of embezzlement of budgetary funds have been identified. This is a priority for crime prevention, the need to combat, first of all, the most socially dangerous types of embezzlement committed by public authorities and organizations with state participation, especially corruption concerning those involved in national projects and fulfilling state defense orders. Full compensation for the damage caused and an increase in the level of responsibility for suchlike criminal activity are also a priority. The paper concludes that an effective investigation is the observance of these priorities. They should concern practical, organizational and managerial, and scientific activities. The requirements of statistical reporting by law enforcement agencies need to be adapted to the criteria of the real effectiveness of the investigation of criminal cases. Forensic scholarly research has to be aimed at providing priorities for the investigation of embezzlement, to demonstrate the implementation of efficiency criteria through the case studies as recommendations.

Published: October 2024

Cet article résume les essais de fabrication de papier effectués par le C.T.F.T. depuis une quinzaine d'années sur une espèce tropicale de reboisement, le Gmelina arborea. Cette espèce, acclimatée dans de nombreuses régions du monde, a donné de très bons rendements, jusqu'à 30 mètres cubes par hectare et par an.Du point de vue de la fabrication du papier, le Gmelina arborea peut servir de matière première pour la production de pâtes chimiques blanchies de bonne qualité ou de pâtes à haut rendement qui peuvent être utilisées dans de nombreux types de papier et de carton. L'utilisation de Gmelina arborea pour la production de pâte à dissoudre ou de pâte mécanique semble plus difficile au stade actuel de la recherche.
La mise en valeur des richesses forestières en Amazonie brésilienne et en Colombie. Perspectives, à moyen terme, d'importations en provenance de ces pays de bois en grumes et sciés sur le marché français des bois tropicaux
Authors: Volatron Bernard
Published: October 2024

Dans les deux numéros précédents, l'auteur a traité de l'exploitation des ressources forestières de l'Amazonie brésilienne ; cet article traite de la Colombie et de ses forêts.
Bien que le potentiel forestier de ce pays soit très riche, seul un cinquième de ses forêts est exploité ; les forêts du Pacifique fournissent environ 70 % des arbres abattus.
La capacité de production des scieries est souvent sous-utilisée. Les exportations colombiennes de grumes, de bois d'œuvre, de contreplaqué et de divers sous-produits sont très faibles, même si l'on s'attend à ce que leur volume augmente.

Pharmacological activity test can use zebrafish models that are induced a pathophysiology condition similar to leukemia, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, muscular dystrophy, osteoporosis, psoriasis, wound, and inflammation.  Toxicity tests using zebrafish include acute and chronic toxicity tests, toxicity tests on the heart and liver, and neurotoxic effects. Zebrafish is an ideal model for measuring disease-specific biomarkers and toxicity biomarkers in humans.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo considerar a contribuição do Curso Técnico Subsequente em Tradução e Interpretação de Libras, realizado pelo Colégio Pedro II, Campus Niterói, na formação profissional do Tradutor e Intérprete de Língua de Sinais - TILS. O estudo analisa o perfil dos estudantes atualmente matriculados, assim como sua relação com o mercado de trabalho. Em 2002 a Libras (Língua Brasileira de Sinais) foi reconhecida como meio legal de comunicação e expressão no Brasil. Contudo, somente em 2010 a profissão de TILS foi regulamentada através da Lei nº 12.319. Sendo assim, a forma de visualizar o Tradutor Intérprete de Libras está em construção. Com a profissionalização do TILS pela criação de cursos de formação, outras pessoas estão tendo acesso a essa área de atuação, além daquelas já ligadas à comunidade surda. Outrossim, o perfil heterogêneo dos estudantes do Curso Técnico Subsequente Tradução e Interpretação de Libras do Colégio Pedro II é composto por pessoas de diversos públicos, como pessoas que buscam uma formação profissional, estudantes da graduação, profissionais já formados e pessoas à procura de novas oportunidades profissionais. Diante do exposto, o trabalho relaciona a formação oferecida com o crescimento da demanda pelo profissional TILS que hoje é solicitado em variados ambientes sociais, bem como relaciona a relevância de um perfil estudantil diversificado com o alcance da Libras em diferentes ambientes.

A produção de materiais para a inclusão pedagógica dos alunos surdos na universidade é essencial, não só a educação inclusiva, mas também o atendimento à diversidade na surdez. As estratégias educacionais assumidas para surdos sinalizantes, seja atendendo ao bilinguismo e/ou seguindo as políticas institucionais, não se aplicam plenamente a todos os surdos e vice-versa (ex., oralizados). Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar dois guias que apresentam propostas com diferentes perspectivas para a conduta docente frente aos alunos surdos, elaborados pelas duas maiores universidades do Brasil: a maior em tamanho geográfico, a Universidade Federal Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Educação de surdos no Ensino Superior (CAPELLI et al., 2019), e a maior em número de alunos em 2022, a Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), O Guia para Atendimento Educacional no Ensino do Surdo Oralizado (CHAVES; CASTRO; ROCHA, 2022). A metodologia bibliográfica e documental foi utilizada para analisar as similaridades e diferenças dos guias, incluindo estratégias arquitetônicas, comportamentais, imagéticas e tecnologias assistivas. Os guias se apoiam na visualidade em sua forma de comunicação com estratégias a serem adotadas pelos docentes. O material da UFF descreve, ainda, laboratórios de ensino prático e em aulas síncronas/assíncronas, com leitura labial viabilizada. Conclui-se que a diferença entre os guias analisados revela a demanda por produção de materiais específicos, mas com amplitude e orientação docente que permita a conscientização de que a inclusão é um processo que deve oferecer a atenção a todo alunado surdo, com técnicas que atendam toda sua diversidade.

Objetivo: verificar a possibilidade de mudança na atuação docente de uma professora de EF. Metodologia: obteve uma abordagem qualitativa, foi realizado um estudo de caso com foco na participação da docente em um grupo de estudos colaborativo sobre o ensino das lutas na escola. Resultados e discussão: indicam que a professora ampliou seu conhecimento sobre à abordagem das lutas nas aulas de EF após a sua participação na formação continuada, quando comparado ao que sabia anteriormente. Conclusão: Pontualmente, ela mudou sua atuação docente à medida que passou a ministrar aulas sobre as lutas corporais em suas aulas, ação que não ocorria antes.
The Role of Money in Saudi Arabia's Economic Expansion
Authors: Alaskar Ibraheem , AlAli Musaed S. , Alsaifi Khaled
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the long-term and short-term relationships between different monetary aggregates (M0, M1, M2, and M3) and GDP in Saudi Arabia using the Engle-Granger cointegration test and the Granger causality test. The results reveal that M2 has the most stable long-term relationship with GDP, making it the most reliable aggregate for policy formulation. M1 also shows a strong relationship, while M3’s connection is comparatively weaker. The causality analysis indicates bidirectional relationships between GDP and M1, M2, and M3, suggesting that changes in these aggregates can both influence and be influenced by economic activity. In contrast, M0 shows no significant long-term relationship and only responds to changes in GDP, indicating its limited policy relevance. These findings highlight the importance of using broader aggregates like M2 for effective policy targeting in Saudi Arabia’s evolving economic landscape. The study provides crucial insights for policymakers in selecting appropriate monetary aggregates for long-term planning and short-term economic stabilization.

Published: October 2024

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has been declared by WHO as a pro-longed global pandemic which has caused signif- icant public health problems, deaths and economic losses, therefore it is necessary to carry out prevention and control ef- forts to break the chain of transmission of Covid-19. One effort that can be done is to estimate the additional number of posi- tive cases of Covid-19, so that the number of isolation rooms and the need for medical personnel can be estimated. In this study the prediction of an increase in the number of positive cases of Covid-19 was carried out using the Linear Quadratic Estimation (Kalman Filter) approach based on the state space model formed from the ARIMA model (0,1,4). Based on train- ing data from March 23, 2020 to April 4, 2023, the best time series model is the ARIMA model (0,1,4) which was chosen based on the smallest AIC value and satisfies the residual test hypothesis

Chili is one of the important commodities in agriculture and food, which is a product of the capsicum plant that has significant economic value in international trade. This study aims to identify an effective distribution strategy for red chili commodities in Indonesia through the use of the K-means and K-medoids clustering algorithms. The data used comes from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2022, including parameters-production, consumption, surplus/deficit, trade margin, and the impact of market operations and natural disasters. The implementation of K-means and K-medoids uses the RapidMiner application to form six provincial clusters based on the characteristics of red chili distribution. The results of the analysis show that K-medoids consistently outperforms K-means in cluster formation, with lower Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) values ​​indicating better clusters. The conclusion of this study confirms that K-medoids is more effective in grouping red chili distribution areas in Indonesia, potentially providing a stronger foundation for strategic decision making in the distribution management of this commodity. Therefore, this study recommends the use of K-medoids as a more appropriate approach for planning and implementing red chili distribution strategies in Indonesia.

AI is expected to become one of the key technologies supporting the development of MSMEs, which represent a major pillar of Indonesia's economy. Successful adoption and implementation of AI require the right strategies, one of which stems from an analysis of a company’s AI readiness. In this study, an AI readiness analysis was conducted using the AIRI framework on six MSMEs from various business sectors. The results of the analysis provided the AI readiness levels of each MSME, along with comparisons to similar industries and to industries of comparable business scale (MSME). The analysis also yielded several recommendations for AI adoption and strategies to enhance the AI readiness of each MSME. All the MSMEs involved in the study positively accepted the AI readiness analysis and the adoption recommendations provided. The study did not produce any feedback for improvements to the AIRI framework itself; however, there were suggestions for further development of the AIRI application to better assist MSMEs in determining AI readiness targets and appropriate AI implementation strategies in the future..
