SER MÃE NA UNIVERSIDADE: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A MATERNIDADE DURANTE A GRADUAÇÃO EM MEDICINA NO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO
Authors: Pantoja Jessica Corrêa , Freitas Camila Melo de
Published: June 2024

Apesar do crescente acesso feminino ao ensino superior, a exclusão educacional persiste como um desafio histórico. Ideias culturais arraigadas sobre o papel feminino como principal responsável pelos cuidados familiares e as demandas da maternidade têm sido fatores determinantes na sua exclusão no ambiente acadêmico. Este estudo transversal investigou os desafios enfrentados por mães universitárias, examinando uma amostra de 60 estudantes de Medicina em instituições localizadas no Estado de São Paulo. Predominantemente, os participantes são de etnia branca (81%), com uma minoria representativa de pardos (15%) e negros (4%). Uma parcela reduzida recebe auxílios financeiros, como bolsas de estudo ou financiamento (17%), principalmente em instituições privadas (96%). Embora apenas uma pequena porcentagem das alunas esteja grávida ou seja mãe durante a graduação, a maioria está ciente de alguém na mesma situação (64%). Entretanto, a maioria desconhece a existência da Licença Maternidade durante a graduação, e nenhuma das instituições oferece serviços de creche. A falta de suporte e conhecimento sobre a Licença Gestante durante a graduação reflete a persistência das disparidades de gênero nas escolas médicas, potencialmente impactando o cenário médico em geral. Isso ressalta a urgência de políticas que incentivem um ambiente inclusivo e forneçam o apoio necessário às mães estudantes.

Canadian Public Library Pandemic Response: Bridging the Digital Divide and Preparing for Future Pandemics
Authors: Intahchomphoo Channarong , Vellino André
Published: June 2024

This article examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on computer and Internet access services in Canadian public libraries as well as the implications of this lack of access for people facing socioeconomic barriers, and how Canadian public libraries could address digital divide issues in the post-pandemic era. Recommendations on future pandemic preparedness for public libraries are also discussed in this article. This research project conducted a bilingual (English and French) online survey targeting public library technicians, librarians, and library board members across Canada. From 1,631 research invitation emails sent to public library staff across Canada and three Facebook posts on Canadian public library staff groups, over a one-year period from November 3, 2021, to November 6, 2022. 226 individuals participated in the online survey questionnaire. Findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated social inequalities in Canada, including access to computers and the Internet. The digital divide could lead to poor health outcomes and put existing disadvantaged populations at greater risk in terms of future employment opportunities. The digital divide needs to be addressed so that Canadians in low-income households and those living with disabilities do not get left behind. Importantly, public libraries in Canada have been working tirelessly to equalize access to computers, the Internet, and digital literacy training and support. Their determination, social responsibility, and professional ethics need to be acknowledged. Finally, this article's recommendations for future pandemic preparedness in Canadian public libraries may also be applicable and beneficial to public libraries globally.

A népegészségügyi termékadóról szóló 2011. évi CIII. törvény 2022. és 2023. évi változásai és azok hatása a magyar élelmiszeriparra, azon belül a sütőiparra
Authors: Mikos István , Varga László
Published: June 2024

A népegészségügy olyan társadalmi tevékenység, amelynek célja a lakosság egészségi állapotának javítása, mely az egészség megőrzésére és a betegségek megelőzésére irányuló tevékenységeket takar. Ezen belül fontos területet jelentenek az élelmiszerekre, mint elismerten az egészséget befolyásoló tényezőre vonatkozó szabályok. A népegészségügy területén belül leginkább preventív, a lakosság attitűdjét befolyásoló szabályozórendszer jellemző, míg az élelmiszerek összetételére vonatkozó előírások az élelmiszerbiztonság területére tartoznak, bár utóbbinak is végső soron az egészség megőrzése és a betegségek megelőzése a célja.
A magyar jogalkotó 2011-ben, a népegészségügyi termékadóról szóló 2011. évi CIII. törvénnyel (a továbbiakban: Neta törvény, Neta tv.) vezette be – nemzetközi szinten is úttörő módon – a népegészségügyi termékadót (a továbbiakban: neta), „a népegészségügyileg nem hasznos élelmiszerek fogyasztásának visszaszorítása és az egészséges táplálkozás előmozdítása, valamint az egészségügyi szolgáltatások, különösen a népegészségügyi célú programok finanszírozásának javítása érdekében”. (Neta tv. 2011) Célkitűzésem kettős, egyrészt azt vizsgálom, hogy a Neta tv. 2011. szeptemberi hatályba lépése óta milyen módosításokon esett át, másrészt arra a kérdésre keresem a választ, hogy alkalmazása során milyen kihívásokkal szembesültek/szembesülnek a hazai élelmiszeripar, azon belül is a sütőipari ágazat szereplői.
Cikkemmel a rendelkezésemre álló hazai és nemzetközi szakirodalom másodelemzésére is vállalkozom, a Neta törvény teleologikus értelmezésével együtt; bemutatva egyúttal, hogy a magyar sütőipari gyártók számára a Neta törvény alkalmazása miért is problémás, annak többféle vonatkozásában is.
Hydration Characteristics of Paddy
Authors: SN Mohanty  , Satish Bal  , Sanjay K Dash  , MK Panda
Published: June 2024

The hydration characteristics of paddy (Cv. Parijata) were studied for soaking under atmospheric and elevated pressures and for steaming operations. Soaking treatments under atmospheric condition were carried out at 40, 50, 60 and 70°C water temperature. The pressure levels for hydrostatic soaking were 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 kg/cm2 with a constant water temperature of 70°C. Steaming was carried out at 0.5, 1.0. 1.5,2.0 and 2.5 kg/cm2 pressure levels. For all the studies, 3 levels of initial moisture contents were taken. The soaking temperature and pressure and steaming pressure greatly influenced the moisture absorption by the grain and, thus, affected the time requirement. The diffusion coefficients, diffusion constants and activation energy for moisture diffusion were also calculated for the different treatments. The diffusion coefficient was independent of moisture content and showed Arrhenius type relationship with absolute temperatures of soaking and steaming. Empirical relationships were developed to predict the moisture gain by paddy at any time and process condition.

Authors: Sanjay Kumar Singh  , US Agrawal
Published: June 2024

The effect of processing parameters (moisture content, outlet opening, roller speed, roller length, and roller inclination) on hulling efficiency of green gram was studied using emery roller machine. Models were developed to represent the milling responses (coefficient of hulling, coefficient of wholeness of kernel and hulling efficiency) as functions of processing parameters and a common compromise point was found to obtain optimal values of milling responses. The results indicated that the hulling efficiency increased with increase in roller speed and roller length and decreased with increase in outlet opening and roller inclination. The effect of roller inclination was less prominent as compared to those of the other parameters. The range of moisture content 10 - 12 % (db); outlet opening 140 - 182 mm2; roller speed 13 m/s; roller length 25 - 32 cm and roller inclination 5 degree were fb and to be the most suitable parameters for green gram milling.

Authors: Vinod Kumar Yadav  , Amar Singh  , P. Chandra
Published: June 2024

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of fan-pad evaporative cooling system parameters on greenhouse cooling. The fan-pad cooling system parameters were thickness of the pad (50,75 and 100 mm), airflow rate (0.3,0.45,0.6 and 0.75 m/s) and water flow rate (5,10 and 15 1/min). The dependent parameters were cooling efficiency, pressure drop and energy consumption. The results showed that if air and water flow rates were not limiting, pad-thickness did not have any effect on green house cooling. The pressure drop increased with increase in airflow rate and pad-thickness. The energy consumption did not vary significantly as a function of system parameter.

Authors: Girja Sharan  , T. Madhavan  , Kishor Rawale
Published: June 2024

A crate of Himachal tomato was obtained from Azad Mandi, Delhi. It contained 252 fruits. Each fruit was weighed and its axial dimension measured. Data of all 252 fruits was then subjected to cluster analysis, using weight and axial dimension separately as basis. The tool of Cluster Analysis enables us to divide the sample in groups that are relatively homogeneous in size on the basis of weight or axial dimensions, whichever is desired. Analysis also yields mass proportion of tomato contained in each group as also the number. The utility of cluster analysis lies in the fact that it can indicate how many homogenous groups can be made of a lot of ungraded produce in advance and what will be the physical characteristics of produce in each group. This will be useful to those designing size graders for tomato, other fruits and vegetables.

Authors: M. Krishnan  , V. Ravikumar
Published: June 2024

Designing of drip irrigation system with desired uniformity is a complex and time consuming process. Designing with tapered pipes makes the designing still difficult. Many alternative designs have to be evaluated to arrive at a satisfactory design. Therefore, in this work a software to design the drip irrigation subunit has been developed. A generic equation to determine pressure head distribution in pipelines with equally spaced multiple outlets with outflow at downstream end has been derived. The manufacturing variation of emitters has been accounted for by assuming it as normal distribution. The software has been so designed that the data entry and revision of design data and viewing the results are very much interactive and user friendly. The utility of the software has been demonstrated with a sample design of drip irrigation system for a real field situation.

Authors: Mukesh Kumar  , KG Singh  , SK Shakya
Published: June 2024

The intensive agricultural production in the state of Punjab has resulted in higher N03-N concentration in ground water due to over use of agro-chemicals, which leads to ground water pollution. The LEACHM model developed by Wagenet & Hutson (1992) was modified and used to predict the nitrogen leaching losses from nitrogenous fertilizers in Rice fields. The nitrogen transformations considered are enzymatic hydrolysis of urea, nitrification and denitrification, all represented by first order kinetics. The total measured cumulative nitrogen leaching loss on 95th day after the transplanting of nursery of paddy was observed 32.2 per cent and 29.6 per cent at 60 cm and 90 cm depth below the ground surface, respectively. The model-estimated nitrogen leaching losses at 60 and 90 cm matched fairly well with the observed values in the field. The paired t- test showed that there was no significant difference between the measured and the estimated values at 5 per cent significance level.
Surface Tension of Sugarcane Juice
Authors: PC Jain  , SI Anwar
Published: June 2024

Sugarcane juice is a popular drink. Aerating it with oxygen or some other gases may help in improving its taste and keeping quality. It is in this context that the knowledge of surface tension of sugarcane juice would be required in the design of a gas liquid aerator for aerating the juice. When a fluid is sparged with air, its surface tension during aeration would influence the interfacial area available for gas mass- transfer. Surface tension measurements also provide an indication of how foamy a liquid may be.

Extra-Governmental Relations as Response Strategy to Sustainable Development Goal 1 [poverty]: Lessons from A South African Municipality
Authors: Shopola Moraka Arthur , Ramoraswi Mankoni
Published: June 2024

South Africa is one of the many African countries that have displayed systemic weaknesses in their efforts realise the United Nations’ sustainable development goal (SDG) number one, which is about ending poverty in all its forms everywhere. According to the official data gleaned from World Bank (2014) and Statistics South Africa (2022), over 55 % of the South African population is currently living below the national poverty line. While government remain an important player in carrying the burden presented by this challenge, it does not mean other able stakeholders in society are exempted in the fight against poverty. With the understanding that poverty is more prevalent in rural settings, this study aimed to explore extra governmental relations as a drive for intensified rural development and poverty eradication in South Africa. The study was largely qualitative and used municipalities in Mopani region of Limpopo province, to argue for more involvement of external stakeholders like the business community and private sector in the promotion of the general welfare of communities in rural areas. As demonstrated in the paper, South Africa’s efforts to eradicate poverty can only materialise when there is intensified rural development drive that is supported by those in business sector, but this should also consider a number of conditioning factors that government, especially at local levels, has to create. The strength of this paper lies in its transdisciplinary nature, as it draws theoretical insights from both the field of development studies and public administration. Recommendations are offered towards the end of the paper.

Authors: Sabado Ashly , Lastrella Julia Tessa
Published: June 2024

The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between learners’ level of engagement and teachers’ frequency of use of the activities and strategies, and an intervention was crafted based on the findings. The study used a mixed method and employed a descriptive-correlational design, while a survey questionnaire, a researcher-based survey questionnaire, and interview guide questions were adopted as research tools. It involved respondents composed of thirty-six (36) Grade 5 teachers from all elementary schools in the Jose Panganiban East and West District. The study's findings revealed that emotional engagement was the highest level among learners in Mathematics 5, with a weighted mean of 3.11. Further, the strategies and activities that were always used were brainstorming, with a weighted mean of 3.48, and inquiry-based learning, with a weighted mean of 3.38. There was no significant relationship between the level of engagement in behavioral and emotional with the teachers’ strategies and activities; however, cognitive engagement has significant correlations with inquiry-based learning (r =-34*, p< 0.05). The most challenging experiences for teachers were non-mastery of the four fundamental operations and difficulty solving problems. To enhance learners’ engagement in Mathematics 5, the researcher developed a resource package comprising modified, detailed lesson plans, interactive activities, a pamphlet with educational videos, and outdoor math games. Based on the findings, it was concluded that teachers may do a lot to encourage learners to engage in behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of transparency of budget structure on risk of getting into financial distress in Vietnam. The article uses data regarding equity proportion from the financial reports of business entities on Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), divided into four main categories, namely large ownership, institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and state ownership ratio, to find the relation between the allocation of equity and the chance a company having financial failure. From the mentioned information, the research attempts to explain the relations, as well as suggestions for companies to prepare and avoid financial distress from an equity structure perspective. Results from the study’s sample show insignificant correlations between the share of owners and financial distress situation of a company, which plays a part to help the overall estimation of risk in businesses as a whole.

Published: June 2024

Fish waste, if not managed properly, poses a significant environmental threat. Scientists worldwide have been exploring innovative ways to utilize this resource, finding applications in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. One promising avenue is isolating bioactive peptides from Catla catla fish waste and assessing their antioxidant potential. Using Papain digestion, fractions were obtained from Catla catla liver waste, showing significant antioxidant activity, especially those with molecular weights of 10-100 kDa. These fractions, derived from 2% Papain digestion for 180 minutes, displayed the highest DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity. They hold promise for further investigation as potential anticarcinogenic agents. This study highlights the potential of fish waste, particularly from Catla catla liver, as a source of bioactive peptides with antioxidant properties. Further research into these fractions could lead to the development of nutraceuticals with such antioxidant peptides.
Enhancing Academic Integrity: An Analysis of Advanced Techniques for Plagiarism Detection using LESK, Word Sense Disambiguation, and SVM
Authors: Upadhyay Devesh Kumar , Sinha Keshav
Published: June 2024

Plagiarism is widespread in academia, from ancient literature to modern research, where scholars' work is copied and published without authorization. In the late 90s, researchers explored various methods to detect plagiarism, including Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), LESK, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). However, these conventional techniques have shown limitations in aligning with contemporary writing styles. This paper proposes an improved LESK algorithm for word sense detection and Improved SVM for feature extraction, addressing the shortcomings of existing methods and offering enhanced accuracy and efficiency in identifying plagiarized content. The study evaluates the proposed system using three datasets from PAN 2012, PAN 2013, and PAN 2014 documents to assess its performance across different types of text plagiarism. Results demonstrate the system's superiority, achieving higher classification accuracy when trained on the Second Dataset. A comprehensive analysis of the feature’s significance in the training database reveals the importance of discriminative sentence similarity. The proposed system contributes to combating academic dishonesty, ensuring the authenticity of digital content in various contexts. Future work will explore cross-lingual plagiarism detection and image duplicity identification using Word Sense Disambiguation techniques. Additionally, efforts will be made to optimize time complexity for faster execution.

This research investigates and compares the impacts of task-oriented training and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on the motor function of the affected arm in children diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The study addresses the need for effective interventions to address the motor challenges in this population. Thirty participants were randomly assigned to either Group A (task-oriented training) or Group B (PNF training) in a two-month comparative study conducted in special schools. Both groups participated in daily 40-minute sessions five days a week for eight weeks. Pre and post-tests, utilizing the Assistive Hand Assessment (AHA-22) and Manual Ability Measure (MAM-16), were administered to evaluate outcomes. The analysis revealed no significant differences in post-test scores between Group A and Group B, indicating comparable effectiveness of both interventions in improving upper extremity function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. This study contributes valuable insights into therapeutic approaches for enhancing motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Both task-oriented training and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation emerge as effective methodologies, providing healthcare professionals and educators with evidence-based options for optimizing outcomes in this population. These findings hold international relevance, offering a foundation for informed decision-making in the selection of interventions for children with spastic cerebral palsy across diverse global contexts.

Published: June 2024

The effectiveness and advantages of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are significantly influenced by the interconnectivity of individual devices or nodes, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The exchange of data that is pertinent to a comprehensive job or capability plays a crucial role in numerous CPS applications, including healthcare monitoring in smart cities and homes and many more. Data exploitation in remote healthcare systems may have catastrophic consequences for patients; hence, a safe cryptographic technique is necessary. To address these security difficulties, a highly effective biometric based three-factor mutual authentication along with a key agreement scheme has been put forth that leverages the lightweight Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC). This scheme has been specifically designed to cater to the unique requirements of remote healthcare systems. The approach has been validated utilizing the Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic, which verifies the effectiveness of mutual authentication. Also, the resistance to active and passive attacks was demonstrated through the use of the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) tool. Furthermore, a preliminary security evaluation is conducted to verify the resilience of the proposed system against several cryptographic attacks. Additionally, the suggested method is evaluated against existing state-of-the-art schemes and demonstrates superior performance in various security dimensions.
