Published: March 2023

Justificativa: Desde dezembro de 2019, o novo coronavírus SARS-Cov-2, também chamado COVID-19, tem se espalhado rapidamente pelos países, tornando-se um dos maiores desafios sanitários deste século. No Brasil, ele foi declarado como una emergência de saúde pública em março de 2020. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o perfil dos pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19 em um hospital de emergência no município de Rio de Janeiro, bem como os fatores associados ao óbito hospitalar. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo, que incluiu pacientes internados entre março e dezembro de 2020 com um diagnóstico confirmado de COVID-19. Os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, e laboratoriais foram extraídos das fichas de investigação epidemiológica e do prontuário hospitalar. Resultados: Foram internados 582 casos suspeitos de COVID-19 e 317 foram confirmados, dos quais 182 (57,5%) eram do sexo masculino, e a maioria era residente na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro (42,5%). Principais achados ‘tomográficos ou radiológicos’: vidro fosco (34,7%) e infiltrado pulmonar (15,4%), e mais da metade dos hospitalizados (64,0%) apresentava pelo menos uma comorbidade. Entre os pacientes hospitalizados, a letalidade geral foi de 53,6% sendo que entre os internados na UTI esse percentual foi de 84,5%. Idade e uso de suporte ventilatório e UTI foram as variáveis que mostraram associação estatisticamente significante com mortalidade intra-hospitalar. Conclusão: Este estudo reforça a importância da vigilância epidemiológica, em âmbito hospitalar, principalmente para as doenças em que o sistema de vigilância passivo pode não ser capaz de reportar adequadamente, como no caso da COVID-19.

Authors: Santos Sidney Silva , Barbosa Geovane Carlos , Tinti Douglas Da Silva , Lopes Celi Espasandin
Published: March 2023

Background: Investigating narratives from the (auto)biographical perspective has expanded the possibilities of research in mathematics education, in the personal and professional aspects of the individuals and their choices during professional development. Objectives: This article aims to analyse (auto)biographical narratives of mathematics teachers who teach stochastics in basic education and their teacher professional development processes. Design: It is qualitative research, from the (auto)biographical perspective. Setting and Participants: The lexical corpus is composed of ten narratives by teachers from the states of São Paulo and Espírito Santo, Brazil, participants of a continuing education course offered in a virtual learning environment. Data collection and analysis: For the textual and lexical analysis of the content, the IRaMuTeQ software and its respective analysis resources were used: word cloud technique, similarity analysis and the descending hierarchical classification (DHC). Results: From this analysis, four thematic categories emerged: initial education, professional challenges, school practice, and continuing education. Conclusions: We concluded that school practice is directly related to initial education and the challenges the mathematics teacher faces. Second, only by reflecting on their practices can the teacher be convinced of their need for updating in continuing education.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Cognitive Demands and Learning Limitations on Mathematical Tasks
Authors: Acevedo Rincón Jenny Patricia , Ramos-Rodríguez Elisabeth
Published: March 2023

Background: Mathematical tasks for university teaching are generally of great cognitive demand, without thinking about the limitations they imply for their students. Objectives: To develop a theoretical analysis of the teaching limitations and cognitive demand of four tasks proposed for teaching calculus, specifically, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Design: Qualitative paradigm, with a descriptive-interpretive approach, according to the nature of the data collected. Setting and Participants: The study is framed in a Colombian University, in the subject “Calculus II” for second-semester engineering students, where a professor designs the tasks to be implemented in this course. Data collection and analysis: The data correspond to the professor's lesson plans the statements of the main mathematical tasks within them. These plans were chosen based on availability and accessibility. A content analysis was conducted, considering as units of analysis the paragraphs or sets of paragraphs of the statement of each school mathematics task. Results: Most of the proposed tasks correspond to high cognitive demand (procedures with connections and mathematical construction) and only one was of low demand (memorisation). Moreover, each of the tasks presents its own cognitive demand and several learning constraints that, some of them, agree with the exposed literature. Conclusions: The work aims to have implications for higher education, since to think of a didactic proposal for a better approach to teaching is necessary to configure lesson plans that mobilise the learning of mathematics in engineering, but from the use of tasks with different cognitive demands, in which will vary from less to more, and lead to meaningful learning for the approach of new tasks.

Authors: Verdugo Hernández Paula , Huincahue Jaime , Cumsille Patricio , Nechache Assia
Published: March 2023

Background: The Mathematical Working Spaces (MWS) theoretical framework has developed a growing interest in how mathematical modelling is recognised, analysed, and articulated from its theoretical and empirical scopes. Given the articulations identified in the literature, it is interesting to determine whether new networks with the MWS provide powerful strategies for analysing mathematical modelling task resolution. Objective: to characterise the modelling activity from the network composed by the Blomhøj modelling cycle and the MWS in engineering students. Design: This work is a case study with a qualitative approach, which analyses the resolution of a modelling task through the proposed network. Setting and participants: The experimentation was carried out in an integral calculus course for a computer civil engineering career at a Chilean university. Modelling practices are not usual in this second-year subject, although enhancing their use in professional education is necessary. Data collection and analysis: We collected the written records of the students, selecting one to perform the in-depth analysis due to its high representativeness and clarity, as evidenced in the documents. Three steps were followed to characterise the modelling activity in the written record: description, analysis, and interpretation. Results: The Blomhøj modelling cycle might present connections with the MWS at the formulation of the problem and not only at the systematisation, which is a novelty in this field of research. Conclusions: A novel approach with which to develop the network between the MWS and modelling emerges, emphasising the investigation of mathematical problems using the student’s reality in higher education.

Using the continued fractions and the method of constructing Runge-Kutta methods, numerical methods for solving the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Volterra non-linear integrodifferential equations are proposed. With appropriate values of the parameters, one can obtain an approximation to the exact solution of the first and second order of accuracy. We found a set of parameters for which we obtain two-sided calculation formulas, which at each step of integration allow to obtain the upper and lower approximations of the exact solution.

Published: March 2023

In world practice, most drugs are chiral compounds, and about 90% of the latter are synthesized as racemates, which consist of an equimolar mixture of two enantiomers. Despite the fact that they have the same chemical structure, most of the isomers of chiral drugs show noticeable differences in safety and efficacy: pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacokinetics, metabolism.
The aim of our study is to analyze the literature data concerning the nomenclature, pharmacology, toxicology and mechanisms of action of currently used chiral drugs.
The analysis revealed the need to develop a method of chiral separation and analysis of racemic drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. This process plays a particularly important role in the clinic, to exclude an undesirable isomer from the drug from the point of view of pharmacotherapy, as well as to select the optimal course of treatment and maximum pharmacological effect.

Authors:   Research Institute For Life And Culture Sogang University, Kim SooJung
Published: March 2023

This study examined the importance of the remedy system at human rights organizations with local governments, aiming to provide an improvement plan. It analyzed three cases of human rights violations, settled between 2019 and 2021, of those employed at social welfare facilities of human rights organizations in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province from a restorative justice perspective. According to analysis findings, the remedy system of human rights organizations at local governments was implemented based on the participation from victims, perpetrators, and the community. While the system was useful for assisting victims to recover from damages and providing corrective recommendations to perpetrators, there were issues with how it interpreted human rights violations as merely infringements on the freedom of employees, and the actual effectiveness of corrective recommendations issued to perpetrators. With respect to the findings, the following improvements may be suggested from a restorative justice viewpoint. First, more attention and efforts are needed from social welfare facility employees to boost perpetrators' fulfillment of corrective recommendations. Second, the remedy system of local governments' human rights organizations should be strengthened, and lastly, the decisions of human rights violations at local governments should be publicized more widely.

Gutting Grutter: The Effect of the Loss of Affirmative Action on Diversity Among Physicians
Authors: Bhasin Asees , Curfman Gregory
Published: March 2023

Over the last four decades, race-conscious admission policies have been the subject of heated judicial and social controversy. In 1978, in the case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the consideration of race was held to be permissible to serve the compelling interest of promoting diversity in higher education. Since then, this issue has come up before the Supreme Court severaltimes. In October 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments in two cases—Students for Fair Admissions v. President & Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina. In the Harvard case, Students for Fair Admissions (“SFFA”), a conservative organization led by Edward Blum, argues that Harvard discriminates against Asian American applicants, thereby violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In both the Harvard College and University of North Carolina cases, SFFA argues that the Supreme Court should overrule Grutter v. Bollinger, a case that cemented the proposition that narrowly tailored admission policies that consider race to achieve diversity are constitutional. On a second level, SFFA argues that both Harvard’s and UNC’s policies are not narrowly tailored due to their rejection of workable race-neutral alternatives.Part I of this Article provides an overview of past litigation concerning affirmative action policies. Part II discusses the two cases Students for FairAdmissions v. President & Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina that are up for consideration before the Supreme Court. Part III discusses the importance of diversity in the medical workforce, and the potential impact of the SFFA lawsuits on medical practice. Part IV discusses arguments that may become important in these cases, potentialoutcomes of this litigation, and what the future of higher education looks like ifrace is prohibited from being considered in university admissions.

Authors: Beşkirli Ayşe , Beşkirli Mehmet , Haklı Hüseyin , Uğuz Harun
Published: March 2023

Energy demand estimation is an important issue in terms of the economy and resources of a country. In this study, an Artificial Algae Algorithm (AAA) was used to estimate Turkey’s long-term energy demand. The AAA is a fast, powerful and effective evolutionary optimization technique used to solve continuous optimization problems. Two different equations (linear and exponential) were used for the energy demand estimation by considering the relationship between the increase in economic indicators and the increase in energy consumption in Turkey. Turkey’s long-term energy demand was estimated from 2006 to 2025 with the AAA method by using gross national product (GNP) and information about imports, exports and population. The AAA method was compared to other methods in published literature to show its success when applied to the energy demand problem. It was found that the results obtained by the proposed method were more robust and successful than those of the other methods.

The complex evolution of Brazilian cotton production
Authors: Klein Herbert S. , Vidal-Luna Francisco
Published: March 2023

Today Brazil is the world’s second leading source of cotton, reprising the role it played for a brief time in the early 19th century. But this history of its production is a complex one of both growth and stagnation, and includes profound changes in the types of cotton exported and where and how it was produced. It went from being a product of small farmers to one grown primarily on large estates. Our essay explores these changes over time and offers an analysis of how production shifted from the Northeast to the Southeast and ended finally in the Center-West of the country and why it went from a being net importer of cotton to a major exporter in just the past thirty years.

Participaron 20 excombatientes de quienes se exploraron repertorios interpretativos, tales como: de la guerra como pesadez a la reincorporación y reintegración como ligereza; la tensión entre normalidad y anormalidad, y el excombatiente como portador de la guerra, recogidos en la metáfora de la carga. Estos relatos presentan funciones dilemáticas asociadas a tensiones, obstáculos y oportunidades imaginadas sobre el posacuerdo, comprendiendo un sinnúmero de retos sociopolíticos que trascienden la prescripción de programas estatales para la reincorporación y la reintegración.

En la actualidad, la investigación biomédica se ha centrado en el estudio de enfermedades como el cáncer, que causan un elevado índice de mortalidad. Existen diferentes modelos animales, empleados para generar diversos tipos de carcinogénesis; el daño directo al ADN es uno de los mecanismos más utilizados. Sin embargo, en la normatividad nacional e internacional vigente, no se señalan los aspectos bioéticos que se deben seguir para desarrollar un modelo experimental de daño al ADN. Además, no se realiza una correcta semejanza de la enfermedad. Debido a lo anterior, esta revisión analiza los avances en cuanto a normatividad que se han generado en diferentes países, comparando los estudios encontrados en Estados Unidos, México y España. La perspectiva a futuro es poder contar con guías de experimentación actualizadas, que permitan pautar las normas necesarias para el adecuado desarrollo de los modelos de investigación animal de daño al ADN y que cumplan con la regla de las 3R en la experimentación animal. Esta iniciativa se debe de realizar en conjunto entre la Organización Mundial de la Salud y los organismos especializados en manejo y cuidado de animales de laboratorio en los ámbitos nacional e internacional.
Las cosmogonías de lo animal como ontología de revaloración ante la visión occidental
Authors: Mendoza Linares María Fernanda , Linares Márquez Pascual
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo explora diferentes cosmogonías referentes a la importancia y valor que se les ha dado a los animales a lo largo de la historia. Los animales eran considerados, en culturas antiguas orientales y occidentales, seres divinos, fantásticos e importantes, incluso a veces más poderosos que el ser humano; gozaban, además, del respeto y cuidado de los humanos. Con el paso del tiempo, en la cultura occidental, los animales han sido reducidos a simples objetos de consumo, provocando incluso prácticas crueles, desde la relación ser humano-animal fundada en criterios económicos, de salud y científicos. El valor moral, con base en la ontología de la cosificación, del utilitarismo, que se les ha asignado a las especies animales desde la cultura occidental tiene un efecto en el entorno natural, al impactar negativamente a las especies animales, ya que incluso las normas, leyes y reglamentos privilegian al ser humano, poniendo en riesgo el bienestar y permanencia de diversas especies y su hábitat, que también es el de otras miles de especies que constituyen biodiversidad. Los animales desempeñan un papel de importancia, no solo en la sociedad, sino en el ecosistema en general; como personas, debemos revalorar nuestra postura ante las especies, en el orden de vivir en un ambiente de respeto no solo desde nuestro bienestar, sino desde el derecho a la vida digna que merecen todos los seres vivos.
Everyday business communication: A commercial chat, its specific features and role in organizing the life of citizens

The article deals with the study of everyday virtual business communication. The digital age has a huge impact on individuals, significantly changing their lives, and the life of society is increasingly immersed in the virtual space. The material of the study is Internet communication, specifically group communication of citizens, residents of Saratov, in one of the commercial chats: the speech of women’s clothing sellers and buyers. The purpose of the study is to show the development of the chat genre and its functioning in business communication. The methods applied are those of participant observation and of discursive analysis. The specific features of the chat were manifested in a steadily followed topic of communication (no changes of topic occur). This reflects one of the important communication practices in people’s daily lives – the one related to the purchase / sale of goods. The business sphere leaves its mark on the choice of the type of communication: a mixed type of communication (semi-official) is being implemented. The dominant communicative strategy is the strategy of cooperative speech interaction, including courtesy tactics (tactics representing initial and final contact, gratitude expression tactics, compliment tactics, etc.). These developments represent the process whereby a culture of virtual business communication based on the principle of mutual respect is being formed. The article also studies linguistic features of the chat. In the speech of the communicants, the vocabulary of the thematic group “Clothes and hats” is mainly used: blouse, turtleneck, jeans, jumper, bonnet, etc. Another word group constitutes foreign vocabulary related to the world of fashion which has not yet been fixed in the Russian language (jeggings, snood, skinny, moms, etc.). Conversational signals used in the chat include diminutives (blouse, skirt, novelty), communicatives (for example, the conjunction A used in the initial position in interrogative constructions). The chat contains manifestations of the official business style in the field of trade – professional speech stereotypes: available, new arrival, etc. Attention is drawn to the use of emoticons: their set is limited and chat-specific. Chat communication can be defined as effective communication that improves the life of citizens.
Russian literary criticism of the 20th century on Moliere’s comedy “The Misanthrope”
Authors:   Saratov State University, Pavlova Svetlana Yu.
Published: March 2023

The article addresses the reception of J.-B. Moliere’s comedy “The Misanthrope” (1666) by the Russian literary critics of the 20th century, reflected in monographs, academic publications, textbook, articles and the scientific apparatus to the complete works of the great French playwright. The reason of this persistent interest to this play is determined by two essential factors: its ambiguity and its influence on A. S. Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit”. The author of the article traces the transformation of the researchers’ evaluations, ranging from the pre-revolutionary period and up to the latest reviews. It is stated that the reception of “The Misanthrope” can be generally traced back to the ideas of A. N. Veselovsky, the founder of the Russian studies of Moliere. Having been perceived controversially by the closest followers of the scientist, they became ideological in the works of the Soviet researchers of the 1930–1940s, then they were in the focus of attention of the literary critics of the middle of the century and were further developed in the studies of the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries. Addressing “The Misanthrope”, the Russian researchers of the French literature of the 17th century focus on the distinguishing features of the comic, on the biographical basis of the play, on the system of images, prototypes of the main character and the essence of his conflict with the society. They invariably concentrate on the issue of the author’s viewpoint, and on the question of who Moliere sides with – Alceste or Philinte. The carried-out analysis shows that the research thought has changed from the biographical, social and political interpretation of the comedy “The Misanthrope” to refocusing on ethical issues. It appears that, despite the importance of all of these aspects, clearly significant for the comprehension of the play, a cultural studies approach, characteristic for the French literary studies and based on the most recent studies of the gallant epoch, will facilitate a more sensible perception of the play.
