Authors: Costa de França Souza João Gabriel , Guerra de Moraes Andreia , Cristina Ribeiro Rego Sheila
Published: May 2024

O campo de Ensino de Ciências (EC) busca diferentes alternativas para potencializar suas práticas em sala de aula. Nesse contexto, a utilização da música no processo didático surge como uma possibilidade. A pesquisa bibliográfica aqui apresentada buscou nos anais dos Encontros Nacionais de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências realizados de 2011 a 2021 e em revistas da área de Educação em Ciências no estrato QUALIS A1 ou A2 trabalhos que abordassem essa temática, a fim de traçar um panorama acerca da maneira pela qual pesquisadores do campo exploram a relação entre música e EC. Foram encontrados 33 trabalhos que se subdividiram em três grandes categorias, construídas a partir da recorrência temática observada: exploração de conceitos científicos; criação e utilização de paródias e análise das letras das canções de temáticas científicas, nos quais foram identificadas 11 motivações diferentes como justificativa para a utilização. Os trabalhos que utilizaram letras das canções foram subdivididos em relação ao tipo de abordagem da composição. Por fim, a análise dos autores recorrentes e que trabalharam letras de canções foi realizada com o intuito de verificar recorrências e ausências de gêneros musicais, na tentativa de compreender acerca da utilização da música como instrumento ou objeto cultural. Destacou-se a ausência do gênero samba-enredo e a tendência à utilização da música como um instrumento de ensino e, não, como um objeto cultural.

Authors: Fontes Daniel Trugillo Martins , Rodrigues André Machado
Published: May 2024

Este artigo se fundamenta na perspectiva estrutural de redes sociais para explicitamente endereçar lacunas na pesquisa em Ensino de Ciências. Primeiro, avalia-se a estrutura e a evolução da rede de coautoria na pesquisa em Ensino de Ciências em espaços não formais em 40 anos de investigação. Destaca-se a fragmentação e a propriedade de um modelo de mundo-pequeno, com pesquisadores que criam novos laços de coautoria formando agrupamentos localmente conectados, e pesquisadores que cruzam fronteiras. As implicações dessas constatações para a atividade de pesquisa na área são então discutidas. Com isso, é ampliada a discussão para outras temáticas na área de pesquisa em Ensino de Ciências, sugerindo que a múltipla atuação em diferentes temáticas é um eixo organizador das relações de colaboração que resultam em coautoria. Empiricamente, constata-se que os trabalhos com dois ou três autores e altos índices de fragmentação constituem o padrão nas temáticas da área. Além disso, há indicativos que a especificidade de um tema na área de pesquisa em Ensino de Ciências não o torna mais colaborativo. Por fim, discutimos as limitações e propomos encaminhamentos para futuros trabalhos. Conclui-se que a superação de desafios metodológicos na construção de um banco de dados consolidado é mais um passo importante na maturidade da área de pesquisa em Ensino de Ciências.
Uncovering the origins of mental images about the concept of light: the difference between novice and expert mediation levels profile
Authors: Anjos Juliana Rodrigues , Serrano de Andrade Neto Agostinho
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the mental imagery formed by two Physics undergraduates following their interaction with a mobile application analyzing emission and absorption light spectra. The tool, an instance of extracerebral cognitive processing, served to illuminate the internal cognitive mechanisms the students employed to understand novel knowledge. Guided by the Cognitive Networks Mediation Theory (CNMT), which underscores the significance of external tools in facilitating cognition, and drawing upon Bachelard's Epistemological Profile and Mortimer's Conceptual Profile, a novel 'Mediation Level' Profile is proposed. This profile represents the preferred type of mediation each student employed to elucidate their observations and understandings. The research utilized the Report Aloud Protocol to analyze students' verbal and gestural communications, revealing a complex pattern of various mental images developed through interaction with external objects via different levels of mediation. Notably, the psychophysical and hypercultural mediation levels stood out among the students. The implications of these findings for Physics education and future research directions are discussed, underscoring the utility of mobile applications as a supplementary tool in laboratory settings and the complexity of mental imagery in understanding physical phenomena.
Analyzing Network Time Protocol (NTP) Based Amplification DDoS Attack and its Mitigation Techniques

Published: May 2024

Network Time Protocol amplification attack is a form of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in which an attacker exploits or sends a request to a vulnerable NTP server by using their IP address to flood a targeted network or server with an overwhelming volume of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic. In the past, the techniques that involved reflecting traffic off NTP servers to the victim, with the attacker hiding their identity by spoofing the source IP address were carried out using mainly Domain Name Server (DNS) servers but the use of vulnerable NTP servers as reflectors in DDoS attacks has gain lot of popularity since 2014, and this is as a result of the realization of high amplification scale that NTP servers can provide. This type of reflector attack maximized the use of the amplification factor of NTP servers to magnify the attack bandwidth, making it particularly disruptive and difficult to mitigate. Since NTP amplification is not a popularly known attack and there has not been much thorough research on it, this paper explores a holistic overview of NTP amplification attacks, how NTP is used for DDoS attacks, and the overall method that can be used to mitigate such attacks. Keywords: Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, DNS servers, NTP servers

Robust line-convex polygon intersection computation in E² using projective space representation
Authors: Skala Vaclav
Published: May 2024

This paper describes modified robust algorithms for a line clipping by a convex polygon in E2 and a convex polyhedron in E3. The proposed algorithm is based on the Cyrus-Beck algorithm and uses homogeneous coordinates to increase the robustness of computation. The algorithm enables computation fully in the projective space using the homogeneous coordinates and the line can be given in the projective space, in general. If the result can remain in projective space, no division operation is needed. It supports the use of vector-vector operations, SSE/AVX instructions, and GPU.

Published: May 2024

The availability of water in the soil varies and is influenced by soil properties, especially those related to the soil's capacity to retain water. Water retention capacity is one of the primary functions of soil, playing a crucial role in maintaining moisture and distributing water to plants. This research aims to analyze the effects of dosage and particle size of oil palm frond biochar on soil infiltration and water retention capacity. The study employed a Completely Randomized Factorial Design (RALF), comprising two factors: the dosage of oil palm frond biochar (A) and the biochar particle size (B). The dosage factor consisted of three levels: 0% (A1), 0.6% (A2), and 1.2% (A3), while the biochar particle size factor consisted of three levels: < 0.5 mm (B1), 0.5 - 1 mm (B2), and 1 - 2 mm (B3). Each experimental unit was replicated three times, resulting in 27 experimental units. The study utilized soil with silt loam texture. The research parameters observed included soil water content at field capacity conditions (pF 2.54) and at permanent wilting point conditions (pF 4.2), changes in water content over time, mass density, particle density, porosity, water infiltration, and water retention capacity. The findings revealed that the addition of biochar to silt loam textured soil resulted in a reduction in infiltration rate, with the most significant reduction observed when applying biochar with a particle size < 0.5 mm (B1). Furthermore, providing biochar with a size of 0.5 – 1 mm at a dosage of 0.6% (B2A2) and a dosage of 1.2% (B2A3) had the effect of increasing the soil's water retention capacity. Keysword : Infiltration, Factorial Completely Randomized Design, Silt Loam, Soil Physical Properties.

Fried sago crackers are dry local foods easily damaged by moisture during storage. To increase economic value and open commercialization opportunities, a study aimed to estimate the shelf life of white and red fried sago crackers using an acceleration method based on the water sorption isotherm curve. Estimating the shelf life was carried out by storing crackers in several modified jars containing different saturated salt solutions. Calculating the moisture permeability constant of polyethylene and polypropylene packaging was also carried out to support the necessary data. The results showed that sago crackers packaged in polypropylene had a longer shelf life than polyethylene plastic. The white sago crackers with polypropylene plastic had a shelf life of 19.89-69.83 days at 70-90% RH, while polyethylene was 12.02-42.21 days at 70-90% RH with 0.0434 g H2O.g solid-1 critical water content. The red sago crackers with polypropylene plastic had a shelf life of 18.26-69.93 days at 70-90% RH, while polyethylene was 11.04-42.27 days at 70-90% RH with a critical water content of 0.0455 g H2O.g solid-1. The chosen model for the water sorption isotherm curve was Hasley and GAB, with equation log (ln (1/aw)=-1.82-1.31 log Me for white sago fried crackers and Me=(0.5157aw)/(1-0.9632aw)(1+15.578aw) for red sago fried crackers, respectively. Fried sago crackers in polypropylene plastic packaging have the potential to be developed as local food products with a longer shelf life.

Authors: Yaseen Zeyad T. , Alghrairi Mokhalad
Published: May 2024

In the rapidly evolving landscape of smart cities, the integration of advanced technologies is crucial for ensuring safety, optimizing traffic flow, and enhancing the urban living experience. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and visible light communication (VLC) have emerged as promising solutions to address these challenges. This paper explores the integration of V2V communication and VLC at smart pedestrian crosswalks to enhance pedestrian safety and traffic management in smart cities. It explores the impact of neighbouring vehicles on V2V-VLC performance and proposes novel methodologies to assess traffic density effects. Results indicate a significant chance of encountering nearby cars during rush hours, emphasizing the importance of these integrated systems for safety and mobility in urban environments. The outcomes show that the chance of running into extra cars in nearby lanes is independent of the particular lane and increases to 80% through rush hours, but falls to a lower amount than 20% through off-peak and initial morning hours.

As a two-wheeled vehicle user, a problem that often occurs in the community is the loss of helmets when placed in the parking lot. This can happen due to lack of attention from security personnel at the parking location. Riders who do not use helmets can endanger themselves in the event of an accident. In addition to the use of helmets, speed in driving is one factor that needs to be considered because it has the potential to endanger yourself or others. This study aims to anticipate the occurrence of helmet theft and also provide safety in driving using survey research methods to determine the percentage of ease of use by users. Where the system designed consists of 4 functions, namely, detection of helmet location using the MQTT protocol where if the helmet position with the vehicle has a large distance of 40m then the helmet is detected to have been stolen so that it will issue a warning in the form of sound. The second system is vehicle speed detection using anemometer sensors, if the vehicle is detected to have a large speed of 50km / h then the helmet will issue a sound warning so that the driver can reduce driving speed. The third system is face detection around the helmet using ESP32-Cam, where if the helmet detects an unknown face through the face recognition feature with a distance of 15cm to 60cm from the helmet, the ESP32-Cam will take pictures. The last system is taking pictures periodically to find out the situation around the helmet. Based on research using a questionnaire with 30 samplers, a percentage of 74.95% was obtained, which means that the helmet is easy to use.

مبدأ الاعتدال في السنة النبوية المطهرة
Authors: جهاد العزاوي مصطفى خالد , محمود وليد خـالـد
Published: May 2024

قامت السنة النبوية بتأصيل مبدأ الاعتدال والتأكيد عليه، من خلال الجانب النظري المتمثل في الأحاديث النبوية الكثيرة التي تدعو إلى الوسطية والاعتدال، وتبين يسر الإسلام وسماحته في كل تشريعاته، وكذلك في الجانب العملي الذى كان يسلكه رسول الله r، ويأمر أصحابه بهذا النهج, ومن ناحية أخرى نجد بأن الرسول r قد حارب كل سلوك خارج عن الوسط والاعتدال، حارب الغلو في الفكر، والتطرف في السلوك، والتشدد في الأعمال، والانحراف عن الاعتدال، وإنما كان r ينشد الاعتدال في أقواله وأعماله، لأن الاعتدال مأخوذ من العدل، الذى هو وسط بين طرفين، يقتدر به على رد الزائد والناقص، ومعلوم أن الزيادة أو النقصان، والكثرة أو القلة هي التي تفسد الأشياء إذا لم  يكن بينها مناسبة تحفظ عليها الاعتدال بوجه ما.

يقوم هذا البحث بدراسة  نزعة الانتماء في مقدّمة القصيدة العربية في العصر الإسلامي عند الشاعر عمر بن لجأ أنموذجاً، والانتماء علاقة تتّسّم باتباع الموروث العربي القديم للمقدمات في العصر الجاهلي ,وقد تجلت علاقة الانتماء عند  الشاعر حضورها القوي  من خلال المقدمات الطللية والمقدمات الغزلية , وقد دلَّ حضورها  في ذات الشاعر وفق أبعادها المختلفة. ومن هنا قمنا برصد وقفات الشاعر الطللية والغزلية , لنجد انها السمة البارزة التي عُرف بها الشاعر بالحفاظ على النماذج التقليدية لمقدمات عصر ما قبل الاسلام. وكانت بالنسبة لدى الشاعر عبارة عن مفتاح للدخول والولوج الى الغرض المطلوب لديه في القصيدة , فاضحت هذه المقدمات عند الشاعر توحي بالإخلاص لإتباع الموروث القديم , والتي اعطت الدليل الحي على علاقة الشاعر بماضي اسلافه من الشعراء ,فصاغته لغته ليشكل جانباً من جوانب الإنتماء للمكان أو الاحتذاء بالجانب التقليدي في القصيدة العربية سواء من حيث الشكل والمضمون, والصورة والمعنى. وعلى وفق ذلك نحاول أن نرصد بعض المقدمات الطللية والغزلية عند شعراء العصر الإسلامي, لنجد أن لمثل هذه الظاهرة صفة بارزة في مقدمات قصائدهم , والتي عُدَّتْ السمة البارزة لمعرفته نزعة الانتماء لمثل هذه المقدمات  .

إن ظاهرة الحزن وعرض الرثاء في الشعر العربي من الاستحالة أن يخلو ديوان شاعر منهما. وهذه الظاهرة شغلت الكثير من الدراسات في أنواع الأدب كافة، فلوحة الحزن تجعل من النص قطعة وجدانية متكاملة، ولحن محمل بالتحسر والآهات من خلال ألفاظ دالة على الحزن نابعة من شعور عميق بالفقد عند الشاعر، ولا سيما شاعرنا (ابن الزيات) في رثاء زوجته.
ففي هذا الرثاء تظهر مكانة المرأة والحظ الوافر لها من الاهتمام في الشعر العربي ، ولاسيما هذه القصيدة الرثائية للزوجة وبكائها وإظهار مشاعر الحزن والفقد عليها ، فقد لجأ الشاعر في قصيدته الى تضمين المفردات الدالة على هذه المعاني الحزينة الدالة على الحالة المحملة بالألم والحسرة .
وهنا حاولنا إظهار هذه الملامح في نص الشاعر الرثائي من خلال بيان الأساليب والألفاظ والمشاعر المختبئة خلف كلمات النص التي أغنت عملية التعاطي مع الحزن وتصويره بصدق.

Analysis of foreign and Russian approaches to the study of personal patriotism
Authors: Cveks Mihails Vasil'evich
Published: May 2024

The subject of the study is patriotism. The author conducted a theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature on the problem of patriotism. The features of approaches to the study of this phenomenon in the framework of philosophical, sociological, historical, psychological, pedagogical and psychological disciplines are considered in detail. A comparative analysis of the theoretical views of foreign and domestic authors on the content and nature of patriotism is carried out. An analysis of the literature allows us to conclude that Western and Russian studies of patriotism have many connotations, especially in the sociological and political sciences. Western and domestic scientists have identified similar essential signs of patriotism: patriotism as one of the highest feelings, as a creative feeling; patriotism as selfless work for the benefit of one's country, as a manifestation of higher feelings in action, as a duty to the country; patriotism as a deeply social phenomenon, as a civic virtue.   The author conducts a comparative theoretical analysis of foreign and domestic approaches to the study of the problem of patriotism, understanding the psychological nature of this phenomenon. The main conclusions of the study are: in the studies of foreign scientists, patriotism is analyzed in the context of national and social issues and is practically not studied as a personal education, property or quality; at the heart of patriotism, most foreign authors note identification with their country based on feelings of love, pride and shame. In the West, patriotism is seen as a phenomenon of political awareness, quite closely related to nationalism. In Russian literature, such essential signs of patriotism as statehood and personality, which is the main subject of patriotism, are noted. The differences in the interpretation of the concept of "patriotism" and in approaches to its research can be explained by fundamental differences in culture and state and political traditions. In turn, the intersections in the definition of patriotism indicate that this phenomenon has certain interethnic and interstate features. The question of studying remains open and quite relevant.
Renaissance as an Aesthetic Mechanism: the Renaissance and the Russian Silver Age
Authors: Zagryadskaya Alisa Sergeevna
Published: May 2024

The object of this study is the phenomenon of renaissance in culture, the subject area is the causes and mechanism of the deployment of Renaissance processes. The problems we are starting from are the blurring of the term "renaissance" in humanitarian studies and the lack of its conceptualization from the point of view of aesthetic sensuality. One of the well – established perspectives of the Renaissance phenomenon is its generalization as a universal phenomenon. Understanding the "renaissance" as a recurring event and a feature of culture raises the question of the foundations and characteristics of the "Renaissance". The article identifies such signs from the standpoint of philosophical aesthetics, referring to the changes in the spatial-temporal concepts of the European Renaissance and the Russian Silver Age, as well as the productive consequences of this recoding. The originality of the author's approach lies in the fact that the approach to the topic is carried out through the study of historical transformations of sensuality and sensitivity, which have not yet received a detailed understanding of aesthetics. To describe cultural revivals as aesthetic processes, the concept of the "aesthetic mechanism" of the Renaissance is proposed, based on the idea of changing chronotopes. The main conclusions are that the re-symbolization of space and time, defined by I. Kant as a priori forms of sensuality, causes a change in the phenomena organized by them, and the result of changing the worldview and the existential position of the subject is the intensification of culture, which constitutes the Renaissance.
Comparison Between Efficacy of Oral Melatonin and Oral L-theanine in Improving Sleep in Cancer Patients Suffering From Insomnia: A Randomised Double-blinded Placebo-controlled Study
Authors: Kurdi Madhuri S. , AS Athira , Ladhad Dharmesh Arvind , Mitragotri Milon V. , Baiju Amritha
Published: May 2024

Objectives:

The primary objective was to compare the hypnotic efficacy of oral melatonin, oral L-theanine, and placebo in improving sleep in cancer patients with insomnia by the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). The secondary objective was to know the prevalence of insomnia in patients with cancer.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted after obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval. One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned to either Group A (melatonin), Group B (L-theanine), or Group C (placebo). They were instructed to take the tablets for 14 consecutive days, two h (hours) before bedtime, and evaluated with AIS on the 1st day, 7th day, and 14th day.

Results:

There were seven dropouts: Two in Group A, two in Group B, and three in Group C. Significant differences in favour of melatonin treatment were found. There were statistically significant improvements in insomnia in cancer patients on melatonin intake compared to L-theanine. L-theanine had statistically significant improvements in insomnia in comparison to placebo. The mean ± standard deviation AIS on day one in Group A was 14.82 ± 1.29; on day seven was 10.92 ± 1.12; and on day 14 was 5.00 ± 0.70. Similarly, in Group B, the mean ± standard deviation AIS was 15.39 ± 1.03, 13.05 ± 1.06, and 9.55 ± 1.01, and in Group C, the mean AIS was 14.92 ± 1.40, 14.54 ± 1.35 and 13.05 ± 1.61 on the 1st, 7th and 10th day, respectively. There was an improvement in sleep from 1 to 7 days, 7 days to 14 days, and 1 day to 14 days in all the groups (P < 0.005).

Conclusion:

The hypnotic efficacy of oral melatonin 3 mg was better than oral L-theanine 200 mg in cancer patients having insomnia. Furthermore, L-theanine had a better hypnotic efficacy when compared to a placebo.
INCIDENCIA DE LA INVESTIGACION FORMATIVA EN LOS HORIZONTES EPISTEMOLÓGICOS DE LA CONTABILIDAD
Authors: Carriel Juan
Published: May 2024

El propósito de la investigacion es determinar el uso de la investigacion formativa en el horizonte epistemológico de la contabilidad y analizar los micro-currículos de la carrera de Contabilidad y Auditoria en la Universidad Estatal Península de Santa Elena. Por lo que se refiere a las construccion del conocimiento contable con la teoria del positivismo pragmático, la cual hace énfasis en la objetividad de la ciencias exactas, siendo la contabilidad una ciencia social que ha absorbido este paradigma a la ecuacion contable: Activo igual a Pasivo mas Patrimonio. Sin embargo, esta teoria positivismta no ha sido la mas efectiva, a causa de las diferentes crisis financieras de las empresas: más tarde aprece la teoría crítica, afirmando que el conocimiento debe de estar al servicio de la sociedad y no a un sistema empresarial. Asimismo la teoría interpretativista hermenéutica cuyo estudio se posiciona en el sujeto y métodos cualitativos que intentan comprender y no cuantificar; y la teoría de la complejidad, con énfasis en los actores y los contextos de interaccion y significacion. Por otra parte los horizontes epistemológicos en el eje de la didáctica y pedagogia son los relacionado con la teoría del enfoque de sistemas, el aprendizaje invisible, el pensamiento complejo, la pedagogia crítica y las teorías de neuroaprendizaje. Dichas teorías están en relacion con las orientaciones facilitadas porel Consejo de Educación Superior (CES) y a su vez con los docentes y estudiantes, ademas interrelacionados con los contextos, los escenarios, los conocimientos y los saberes. En definitiva la realidad es una entidad compleja y pluridimensional, asi pues el proyecto pedagógico curricular de la carrera debe fundamentar teóricamente las actuales tendencias de la ciencia de la era digital del Siglo XXI con pertinencia en la sociedad ecuatoriana y sobre todo a la interrelacion teoria-práctica de la enseñanza en la formacion de los futuror Licenciados en Contabilidad y Auditoria.
