Naratibo sa Pagtitiklad: Paglikha at Paglalarawan sa Pagkakakilanlang Calabangueño
Authors:   Quipayo National High School, Calabanga, Camarines Sur, Nidea Nicholson , Victoria Vasil ,   Ateneo de Naga University
Published: November 2024

This study focuses on the description and narration of the cultural attributes inherent in a community, aiming to provide new insights to enhance understanding and identification of ethnographic issues and occupational language varieties, particularly in the municipality of Calabanga, Camarines Sur, through day-to-day pagtitiklad activities. The culture encompasses the customary practices, behaviors, and beliefs shared by a collective group. Pagtitiklad is considered one of the local and livelihood activities in the barangays near the swamplands such as Balatasan, Balongay, Dominorog, and San Bernardino.This study employed ethnography and fieldwork,supplemented by the promotion of a Filipino research approach, such as immersion, probing questions, conversational interviews, guided discussions, and participant observation, as specific and specialized methods for data collection. It involved a total of eight respondents aged
20 years and above, who had experience in pagtitiklad, and they underwent a series of interviews and focused group discussions (FGD). This study discovered various narratives in pagtitiklad, including unique experiences and pagtitiklad as a shared cultural practice among four selected barangays. It also recorded 22 exclusive terms related to pagtitiklad as part of the occupational language variety. Furthermore, it obtained themes and insights regarding the Calabangueño identity and their culture. The study also revealed that pagtitiklad puts a significant impact on the culture of Calabanga, especially considering the lack of distinct identity among the fishermen in the municipality. It demonstrated the distinction of pagtitiklad from other occupations by highlighting
its significance and showcasing real-life examples of effort and success. In general, the researcher aims to propose the exploration of hidden narratives in cultural research within the revolving areas of each community. Additionally, they suggest the implementation of a “Tiklad Festival” as a celebration to promote the preservation of traditions, not only as a livelihood but also as a shared culture from the past to the present.
Noam Chomsky on Ludwig Wittgenstein: A Contemporary Critique of the Concept of Language Privatization

Published: November 2024

In contemporary sociological studies, Wittgenstein, in his Philosophical Investigations, contends that the concept of a private language is unattainable due to the inherent necessity of shared
meanings and societal conventions within language. Wittgenstein posits that language is intrinsically tied to social norms and communal practices, asserting that the acquisition of language is inseparable from cultural immersion and participation in shared activities – what he terms “playing the game” of language. In contrast, Noam Chomsky challenges this perspective by proposing the existence of a universal grammar innate to humanity, irrespective of factors like race, ethnicity, or demographics. According to Chomsky, while diverse languages may exhibit different word arrangements, there exists a fundamental universality in the underlying meaning of sentences. He suggests that this universal grammar is accessible to individuals through a theoretical cognitive mechanism known as the Language Acquisition Device. Chomsky’s theory posits that humans possess an inborn capacity for language, allowing them to grasp the fundamental structures and rules of any language they encounter, transcending cultural or social boundaries. In
this philosophical research project, the authors will re-introduce the debate and its contemporary status. The authors aim to give a strategic in-depth Chomskyan criticism of what Wittgenstein has
deemed impossible to arise: Private Language.

Caulerpa lentillifera is one of the species of seaweeds cultivated commercially in the Philippines. C. lentillifera is either cultured in ponds or gathered from the wild. In this study, the use of screen mats as substrate for C. lentillifera was tested for small scale production in ponds or in shallow areas offshore. Seaweeds were fertilized once a day, twice a day, once a week, and after 15 days. The growth was determined after 30 days. The growth of C. lentillifera fertilized once a week was significantly higher at 5.65% a day than unfertilized C. lentillifera at 2.55% a day. The use of screen mats in ponds and shallow foreshore area for the culture of C. lentillifera could be recommended for small scale cultivation.

Shoreline accretion and erosion are heightened by rising sea levels and powerful
storm waves, posing increasing challenges for coastal communities. In response, groin
fields—specialized structures built perpendicular to the shore to trap sand—have been
implemented. To ensure effective coastal management, ongoing monitoring of these
structures is essential. Satellite images from Google Earth were utilized to investigate the
groin field's impact on the study area. This study proposes a technique for shoreline position
detection and extraction from satellite images through threshold segmentation, edge
detection, and automatic curve selection. The processed images provided shoreline positions
used to calculate the change in shoreline width before and after the groin field construction.
The influence of a groin field on shoreline change is investigated in the coastal zone of Agoo,
La Union. Larson's shore model is fitted to the detected shoreline positions utilizing the TikTak
global optimization algorithm and the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm.
This process determines the optimal shore diffusivity and breaking wave angle for each year
that best represents the shoreline position. In regions of the groin field with greater sand
transport, higher shore diffusivity values and smaller breaking wave angles are observed. This
research can be utilized for preliminary investigations of coastal areas with groin-like
structures. Studying the interaction between the groin field and the shoreline provided valuable
data for researchers to consider. This information can be used to assist in forming strategies
for optimizing groin placement and understanding potential shoreline alterations following their
installation.

Ang Unang Sigaw ng Himagsikan: Isang Pagsusuring aklat sa The Cry of Balintawak: A Contrived Controversy ni Soledad Borromeo-Buehler
Authors:   Caloocan Historical and Cultural Studies, Montejo Jeremiah Julian
Published: November 2024

The First Cry of the Philippine Revolution is one of the most important event in our nations history, It served as the spark for the beginning of the Filipino uprising against the Spaniards who ruled and controlled the Philippines as a colony for more than 300 years. The start of the revolution is also a mean in the process of establishing a revolutionary government which is dedicated to fight the once powerful Spanish empire in order to achieve the freedom of the people from foreign oppressors. Despite being a significant historical event, controversies regarding when and where the first cry of revolution took place continue to remain unresolved. To this day, researchers and historians continue to debate and exchange views on this issue. The historical Dispute emerged when Pio Valenzuela provided a statement to general public; coming out as an alleged eyewitness to the events that occurred from August 22 to August 26, 1896 when Andres Bonifacio and the Katipuneros began gathering in the Kangkong area and other places in Caloocan and Balintawak. This issue became a stormy and heated topic in the academic circle particularly from the historians side, when Teodoro Agoncillo proposed the idea of the Cry at Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896, as the correct date and location of the first cry of the revolution, contradicting the some of the earlier historical claims that it happened on August 26 in Balintawak. This paper will discuss Soledad Borromeo Buehler’s book and her research aimed at examining, corroborating sources to deny and refute the commonly accepted historical fact of the First Cry at Pugad Lawin; Her series of research conducted aimed to prove that the first cry of the revolution actually occurred on August 26, 1896, in Balintawak, aiming to refute the current claim. In order to expand the discussion of this book review, this article will also be referencing ideas related to this topic from other research conducted by other scholars and academicians, which may be in the form of published works such as books and electronic articles regarding the similar topic being discussed. This is to ensure a comprehensive and detailed analysis and discussion on this book review.

Developing mathematical reasoning by using questions in a multilingual mathematics classroom
Authors: Sjöblom Marie
Published: November 2024

In this paper, students’ questions while working in small groups on mathematical problem-solving tasks are investigated. In order to improve students’ reasoning and communication abilities in mathematics, an intervention study was designed in a multilingual upper secondary mathematics classroom in Sweden. In their discussions students used Swedish, which was their second language and also the language of instruction. The changes in students’ ways of using questions across the three cycles of the intervention were analysed. The results showed how students over the cycles changed their ways of framing questions from looking for the correct answer towards clarifying other students’ meaning in order to understand each other’s reasoning. The implication from the study is that it is important to promote interactions between students rather than focusing on students’ need to develop their second language competencies.

Polish parents’ views on mathematics activities at home and in Swedish preschools
Authors: Lembrér Dorota
Published: November 2024

This article describes the results of a digital survey of 41 Polish immigrant parents’ views on mathematics activities at home and at preschool as parents’ views potentially provide a range of perspectives on mathematics activities for young children. Parents were asked to describe and justify their views about how children engage with mathematical ideas and nominate activities that children engage in at home and at preschool. When parents justified their views about young children and mathematics, they tended to align themselves with the norms and values of the Swedish preschool curriculum. The findings suggest that parents, like children, are socialised into Swedish preschools. However, this alignment could limit possibilities for broadening perspectives about mathematics education in preschool, which could be available by incorporating input from immigrant parents’ different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
When does a difference make a difference? Teaching about language diversity in mathematics teacher education
Authors: Eikset Andrea , Meaney Tamsin
Published: November 2024

There has been little attention in mathematics education research about how to include issues to do with language diversity in teacher education. This paper describes the process used by two teacher educators to examine their own practices of linking multilingual perspectives to mathematics education in their work with preservice teachers. By systematically analysing their discussion about a three-hour, mathematics-teacher-education workshop on proportional thinking, the teacher educators were able to identify a series of Discourses. They considered that these Discourses underlay their decision making about how language diversity could be raised with preservice teachers. The results highlight the complexity connected to raising language diversity issues in mathematics teacher education. For example, deciding what challenging content should be provided to preservice teachers is affected by the need to develop relationships with them as well as managing their learning. Joint reflection by the teacher educators was needed to ensure that the aim of challenging preservice teachers about how to deal with language diversity issues in mathematics classrooms could be achieved.

Per a la filiació de la 'Doctrina pueril' italiana de l’any 1379 (Florència, Biblioteca Riccardiana, Ricc. 1367)
Authors: Santanach Suñol Joan
Published: November 2024

La publicació d’una traducció italiana desconeguda de la Doctrina pueril de Ramon Llull enriqueix el ja ampli repertori de versions medievals d’aquesta obra. El manuscrit on es conserva, de la Biblioteca Riccardiana de Florència, és datat el 1419. La traducció, segons el mateix colofó, va ser elaborada per Angelo de Cagneto el 1379. La localització va anar a càrrec de M. C. Maraviglia, responsable, juntament amb L. Formisano, de l’edició del text (2022). Als seus estudis, no arriben a formular cap hipòtesi sobre el lloc que la versió toscana ocupa en el conjunt de la tradició textual de la Doctrina. L’estudi present evidencia els vincles del text italià amb una específica branca de la tradició –una branca que inclou les traduccions medievals impulsades pel mateix Llull a l’occità, el francès i el llatí–, i estableix una major proximitat entre les versions italiana i llatina. Malgrat tot, l’original de totes dues degué ser l’occità. També assenyala el context laic i amb profunds interessos espirituals i catequètics en què degué produir-se la versió toscana.

'Harto mentirosos y de poco fructo': sobre la hermenéutica de las fuentes del romancero de historia peninsular en los siglos XV y XVI
Authors: Garvin Mario
Published: November 2024

Cuando se habla de romances de historia de España o Portugal, se está empleando una categoría temática, que restringe y acota los romances a considerar y condiciona con ello nuestra visión de las fuentes que los transmiten. El presente trabajo propone una comprensión no temática de esta categoría, a partir de la cual, según se defiende, es posible mostrar, desde los testimonios manuscritos del siglo XV hasta las fuentes impresas del XVI, una constancia en los usos políticos y propagandísticos del romance que permite explicar la aparición simultánea a mediados del Quinientos de un proceso de recuperación de textos antiguos y de un romancero erudito que reclama la verdad histórica como requisito de los romances.

Published: November 2024

The rapid growth of high-rise building construction in Indonesia has led to a significant increase in accidents, necessitating a robust audit process for construction safety. This research investigates the relationship between construction safety plans (CSPs), audit processes, knowledge management (KM), information systems, the web, and BIM on construction safety performance, aiming to develop a BIM-based KM audit process. To analyze the significance level of various indicators for each variable considerable importance, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative insights from expert interviews with quantitative analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS. The findings in the study reveal that the studied variables have a Cronbach's Alpha value above 0.7, and the retained variables have a significant value greater than or equal to 0.7. In this study, the confidence level is 95%, where there is a relationship between variables that meet the t-table, which is > 1.96, it can be concluded that the relationship between each variable has a significant value. This study provides a framework for integrating these elements to enhance construction safety performance, offering valuable guidelines for industry stakeholders to improve safety practices in construction projects.
Los verbos más disponibles en español y su activación de estructuras argumentales
Authors: Recio Alvaro
Published: November 2024

Este artículo analiza las características morfosintácticas de los verbos más disponibles en español, la configuración de su red léxica y las estructuras argumentales que se activan ante sus diferentes clases y subclases. Para ello, se emplea la metodología de la disponibilidad gramatical como desarrollo reciente de la disponibilidad léxica: pruebas de evocación de palabras y pruebas de producción de oraciones. Los resultados muestran que los verbos más disponibles tienden a ser predicativos, bivalentes, transitivos, no pronominales y de acción, perfil que se corresponde con las subclases más representativas en la teoría lingüística, las cuales favorecen el procesamiento por su asociación directa con acciones específicas. La red léxica generada sugiere que los verbos conforman una categoría de base natural debido a la importancia de la organización semántica subyacente, aunque también se revelen asociaciones de naturaleza gramatical. Por último, la disponibilidad de estructuras argumentales depende en buena medida de la tipología verbal y de la relevancia cognitiva de las unidades léxicas. Los verbos intransitivos suelen generar más adjuntos, mientras que los transitivos tienden a activar más argumentos explícitos. Entre los intransitivos, son los inacusativos los que inducen más argumentos, mientras que entre los transitivos destacan los verbos de percepción por su capacidad para activar explícitamente más argumentos internos, en contraste con los de consumo y creación. Este trabajo pone nuevamente de manifiesto la compleja interacción entre léxico, sintaxis y semántica en la construcción del conocimiento lingüístico y sugiere nuevas direcciones para la investigación en procesamiento del lenguaje y categorización verbal.

Published: November 2024

In recent years, the Internet of Things has played a dominant role in various real-time problems and given solutions via sensor signals. Monitoring the patient health status of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) facilitates communication between wearable sensor devices and patients through a wireless network. Heart illness is one of the reasons for the increasing death rate in the world. Diagnosing the disease is done by the fusion of multi-sensor device signals. Much research has been done in predicting the disease and treating it correctly. However, the issues are accuracy, consumption time, and inefficiency. To overcome these issues, this paper proposed an efficient algorithm for fusing the multi-sensor signals from wearable sensor devices, classifying the medical signal data and predicting heart disease using the hybrid technique of kernel random forest with the Black Hole Optimization algorithm (KRF-BHO). This KRF-BHO is used for sensor data fusion, while XG-Boost is used to classify echocardiogram images. Accuracy in the training phase with multi-sensor data fusion data set of proposed work KRF-BHO with XGBoost classifier is 94.12%; in the testing phase, the accuracy rate is 95.89%. Similarly, for the Cleveland Dataset, the proposed work KRF-BHO with XGBoost classifier is 95.78%; in the testing phase, the accuracy rate is 96.21%.
Enhancing river and lake wastewater reuse recommendation in industrial and agricultural using AquaMeld techniques
Authors: Rani J. Priskilla Angel , Rubavathi C. Yesubai
Published: November 2024

AquaMeld, a novel method for reusing agricultural and industrial wastewater in rivers and lakes, is presented in this article. Water shortage and environmental sustainability are major problems, making wastewater treatment a responsibility. Customizing solutions for varied stakeholders and environmental conditions using standard methods is challenging. This study uses AquaMeld and Multi-Layer Perceptron with Recurrent Neural Network (MLP-RNN) algorithms to create a complete recommendation system. AquaMeld uses MLP-RNN to evaluate complicated wastewater, environmental, and pH data. AquaMeld analyses real-time data to recommend wastewater reuse systems. This design can adapt to changing scenarios and user demands, helping ideas grow. This technique does not assume data follows a distribution, which may reduce the model’s predictive effectiveness. Instead, it forecasts aquatic quality using RNN-MLP. The main motivation is combining the two models into the MLP-RNN to improve prediction accuracy. RNN handles sequential data better, whereas MLP handles complex nonlinear relationships better. MLP-RNN projections are the most accurate. This shows how effectively the model handles complicated, time- and place-dependent water quality data. If other environmental data analysis projects have similar limits, MLP-RNN may work. AquaMeld has several benefits over traditional methods. The MLP-RNN architecture uses deep learning to assess complicated aquatic ecosystem interactions, enabling more proactive and accurate decision-making is the most accurate with a 98% success rate. AquaMeld is flexible and eco-friendly since it may be used for many agricultural and industrial operations. AquaMeld helps stakeholders make better, faster water resource management choices. Models and field studies in agricultural and industrial contexts examine AquaMeld’s efficacy. This strategy enhances environmental sustainability, resource exploitation, and wastewater reuse over previous ones. According to the results, AquaMeld might transform wastewater treatment. River and lake-dependent companies and agriculture may now use water resource management methods that are less destructive.
A hybrid model integrating recurrent neural networks and the semi-supervised support vector machine for identification of early student dropout risk
Authors: Nguyen Thi Cam Huong , Sarlan Aliza , Arshad Noreen Izza
Published: November 2024

Background

Student dropout rates are one of the major concerns of educational institutions because they affect the success and efficacy of them. In order to help students continue their learning and achieve a better future, there is a need to identify the risk of student dropout. However, it is challenging to accurately identify the student dropout risk in the preliminary stages considering the complexities associated with it. This research develops an efficient prediction model using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques for identifying student dropouts in both small and big educational datasets.

Methods

A hybrid prediction model DeepS3VM is designed by integrating a Semi-supervised support vector machine (S3VM) model with a recurrent neural network (RNN) to capture sequential patterns in student dropout prediction. In addition, a personalized recommendation system (PRS) is developed to recommend personalized learning paths for students who are at risk of dropping out. The potential of the DeepS3VM is evaluated with respect to various evaluation metrics and the results are compared with various existing models such as Random Forest (RF), decision tree (DT), XGBoost, artificial neural network (ANN) and convolutional neural network (CNN).

Results

The DeepS3VM model demonstrates outstanding accuracy at 92.54%, surpassing other current models. This confirms the model’s effectiveness in precisely identifying the risk of student dropout. The dataset used for this analysis was obtained from the student management system of a private university in Vietnam and generated from an initial 243 records to a total of one hundred thousand records.
PSENEN influences the progression of renal clear cell carcinoma by regulating the immune microenvironment and oxidative phosphorylation
Authors: Huang Congying , Chen Kaijie , Zhu Siyu , Yang Xin , Hou Jiangang , Gu Xuefeng
Published: November 2024

Background

Presenilin enhancer gamma-secretase subunit (PSENEN), the straight target of metformin, is highly expressed in several cancers. The role of PSENEN in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) has not been reported.

Methods

PSENEN expression in KIRC specimens was investigated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, as well as by immunohistochemical analysis and qPCR assay. The relationship between PSENEN expression and patient survival was discussed. The biological function of PSENEN in KIRC and its correlation with immune infiltration of KIRC were then investigated, and possible cellular mechanisms were again analyzed. The effects of metformin on KIRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion were discussed in cellular experiments.

Results

PSENEN was found to be highly expressed in KIRC. The high PSENEN expression was an adverse factor in KIRC. Several immune-related pathways were enriched including immune response, complement and coagulation cascade reactions, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation, as evidenced by enrichment analyses. Immune infiltration analysis revealed that PSENEN expression correlated positively with regulatory T cells. Gene set variation analysis suggested that PSENEN expression correlated positively with oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, a certain concentration of metformin was found to inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of KIRC cells, in which PSENEN down-regulation, AMPK up-regulation and mTOR down-regulation were also observed.

Conclusions

PSENEN may be involved in regulating the immune microenvironment of KIRC, and oxidative phosphorylation may also be a pathway for its involvement in cancer development. PSENEN is a novel prognostic marker for KIRC.

Heavy metal contamination, particularly from cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), poses significant risks to soil and water resources and leads to severe damage in plants. This study investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms of the responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings to Cd and Pb stress by applying 50 mg/L Cd, 100 mg/L Pb, and a combination of 50 mg/L Cd + 100 mg/L Pb. The goal was to understand how these heavy metals impact the growth, antioxidant systems, and secondary metabolic pathways in tomato seedlings. The results showed that compared with the control, Cd + Pb stress significantly increased the content of soluble sugar by 37.40% and 33.46% on days 5 and 15, respectively, and the content of proline by 77.91% to 93.91% during the entire period in tomato seedlings. It also elevated electrical leakage by 110.52% on day 15, maintained the levels of malondialdehyde close to the control, enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase by 33.32% on day 10 and 11.22% on day 15, peroxidase by 42.15% on day 10, and catalase by 90.78% on day 10. Additionally, it reduced the contents of hydrogen peroxide by 15.47% to 29.64% and the rate of formation of superoxide anions by 26.34% to 53.47% during the entire period of treatment. The transcriptomic analysis revealed a significant differential expression of the genes involved in pathways, such as phenylalanine, glutathione, arginine and proline, and nitrogen metabolism. These genes included PALs, HDCs, GGCT, ODC1, LAPs, SMS, and SAMDC. Notably, transcription factors, such as ERF109, ARF9, GRF3, GRF4, GRF7, and GRF9, were also significantly regulated. The study concluded that Cd and Pb stress enhanced the osmoregulatory and antioxidant defense systems in tomato seedlings, which may contribute to their tolerance to heavy metal stress. Future research could explore the application of these findings to develop strategies to improve the resistance of plants to contamination with heavy metals.

Objective

Fruquintinib, a novel anti-angiogenic targeted drug, has gained widespread application in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. This study aims to investigate the impact of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on the safety and survival outcomes of patients undergoing fruquintinib treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Methods

A cohort of 106 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, treated with fruquintinib at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between 2019 and 2023, was included in this study. Clinical and laboratory data were subjected to chi-square and t-tests for analysis. PNI values were calculated using a specific formula. The optimal thresholds (cut-off values) for post-treatment PNI were determined through the ROC curve analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Log-rank test were employed to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) based on PNI. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to determine independent prognostic factors which influenced survival time.

Results

The study enrolled 106 colorectal cancer patients treated with fruquintinib. Stratified PNI analysis revealed significant differences in various indicators between high and low PNI groups after treatment with fruquintinib. Notably, after fruquintinib treatment, the high PNI group demonstrated elevated levels in white blood cells, lymphocytes, basophils, red blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, total protein, and albumin compared to the low PNI group. The median OS for patients with high PNI values was 467 days, significantly longer than the 182 days observed for patients with low PNI values (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis identified wild-type total RAS and BRAF, partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD), and high PNI values as influencing factors for OS in colorectal cancer patients. Additionally, PR + SD was an independent influencing factor for PFS in colorectal cancer patients (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

This study suggests that fuquinitinib can improve the survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients with high levels of PNI have a better prognosis and longer survival time, ensuring the nutritional status of patients can be a help to improve the treatment of fuquinitinib.

Background

Sodium-Glucose Transport Protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists (ARBs) also have the effect of reducing serum uric acid but few studies worldwide assessed.

Objective

Evaluate the effectiveness of serum uric acid lowering treatment of SGLT2 inhibitors, and ARB in heart failure (HF) patients.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis study with 8 weeks of follow-up on 733 heart failure (HF) patients treated at Can Tho Central General Hospital from January 2023 to March 2024. Patients enrolled in the study were examined and received losartan (Group A) or dapagliflozin (Group B) monotherapy or losartan and dapagliflozin combined therapy (Group C). The uric acid concentration group was defined into three subgroups with tertile 1 from smallest to quartile (Q) 1, tertile 2 from Q2 to Q3, and tertile 3 from Q3 to the largest value.

Results

After 8 weeks of treatment, the uric acid reduction effect between groups A, B, and C showed that the combination group had the optimal reducing effect compared to losartan and dapagliflozin monotherapy with the mean difference being −229.62 ± 76.65 µmol/L, −217.00 ± 146.17 µmol/L, and −284.43 ± 136.32 µmol/L, respectively. In total, combination therapy showed the best reduction outcome in the population of male, female, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and dyslipidemia with the mean difference ranging from −226.21 ± 74.65 µmol/L to −231.85 ± 76.28 µmol/L and −209.62 ± 184.94 µmol/L to −225.75 ± 78.53 µmol/L and −273.02 ± 204.54 µmol/L to −308.93 ± 72.97 µmol/L in group A, B, and C, respectively.

Conclusion

The optimal therapy for reducing uric acid levels in HF patients was the combination of losartan and dapagliflozin, and the effectiveness did not change through sex, T2DM, and dyslipidemia patients.

A pesquisa analisa a Educação Ambiental (EA) diante dos problemas ambientais causados pela exploração indiscriminada dos recursos naturais. O estudo revisou a presença da EA em Livros Didáticos (LD) de Ciências e Geografia do Ensino Fundamental, com base em 83 pesquisas da Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). Destas, 29 foram selecionadas por tratarem da EA no currículo escolar, sendo analisadas conforme as macrotendências político-pedagógicas de Layrargues e Lima (2014). Cinco pesquisas se alinharam à macrotendência conservacionista, e 22 à crítica. A pesquisa conclui que, embora existam esforços para integrar a EA ao currículo, sua implementação ainda é limitada a soluções técnicas superficiais, restringindo uma compreensão crítica dos problemas ambientais. Isso evidencia a necessidade de transformações estruturais e sistêmicas para promover uma sustentabilidade ambiental genuína no contexto educacional brasileiro.
