Authors: Ланюш Федір , Урбанович Аліна , Козловська Христина
Published: March 2024

Компульсивне переїдання (Binge eating disorder, КП) – це окремий вид порушень харчової поведінки (ПХП), який характеризується повторними епізодами переїдання із вживанням об’єктивно великої кількості їжі та відчуттям втрати контролю над собою. Дані епізоди повинні виникати щонайменше 1 раз на тиждень протягом останніх 3 місяців та не супроводжуватися компенсаторною поведінкою. КП є найчастішим ПХП як серед загальної популяції, так і серед пацієнтів із ожирінням та цукровим діабетом 2 типу (ЦД2Т), що зумовлює необхідність пошуку ефективних методів його діагностики. Існує декілька скринінгових методів встановлення КП, серед яких найчастіше застосовують «Анкету для скринінгу компульсивного переїдання» (АСКП). Мета. Адаптувати та оцінити ефективність застосування українського варіанту «Анкети для скринінгу компульсивного переїдання» серед пацієнтів із цукровим діабетом 2 типу та ожирінням або надлишковою масою тіла.
Матеріали та методи. 117 осіб (45 чоловіків та 72 жінок, вік – 58,2±8,4 роки, індекс маси тіла (ІМТ) – 32,7±3,5 кг/м2) із встановленим ЦД2Т та ожирінням або надлишковою масою тіла заповнили АСКП. Для встановлення валідності анкети було використано такі показники як внутрішня узгодженість (показник альфа Кронбаха) та дивергентна валідність (оцінювали кореляцію з «Шкалою компульсивного переїдання» (ШКП)). Через 4 тижні 42 учасники пройшли ретестування.
Результати. У 23 осіб було виявлено КП (19,7%). Загальна надійність шкали (α-Кронбаха) для усього тесту становила 0,73. Загальний бал АСКП корелював із результатом ШКП (r=0,59, p<0,05). Надійність ретесту була висока (0,71, p<0,05).
Висновки. Поширеність компульсивного переїдання серед пацієнтів із цукровим діабетом 2 типу та ожирінням або надлишковою масою тіла становить 19,7%. Україномовна версія «Анкети для скринінгу компульсивного переїдання» є валідною для встановлення компульсивного переїдання та може використовуватися у клінічній практиці при обстеженні пацієнтів із цукровим діабетом 2 типу та ожирінням або надлишковою масою тіла.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar, sob uma perspectiva comparada, a presença dos contributos da Educação Física em dois cursos (brasileiro e italiano) que formam professores para atuar na Educação Infantil e nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A metodologia utilizada foi de estudos comparados sob a unidade de análise currículo, de modo a identificar relações de similaridade, diferenças e sentidos nos dois cursos estudados. Compuseram o corpus empírico de análise os documentos brasileiros e italianos correspondentes: diretrizes nacionais para a formação de professores; projetos pedagógicos dos cursos e os planos de ensino das disciplinas com estreita relação com a Educação Física. Como resultado, destaca-se que os contributos da Educação Física estão pouco presentes no curso brasileiro e mais frequentes no curso italiano. Isso se deve ao número de disciplinas, a quantidade de professores da Educação Física e a carga horária dedicada a esses conteúdos. No currículo brasileiro, a centralidade está no corpo e na relação com a arte, em específico, a dança; no italiano, os temas mais presentes são atividade motora, atividade esportiva e jogo de movimento. Quanto às áreas de interface, o currículo brasileiro se organiza pela perspectiva sociocultural, enquanto no italiano pela maior influência da psicologia do desenvolvimento.
“Seeing Myself Through Someone Else’s Eyes”: Embodying the Perfect Nurturer in Compassion Focused Therapy
Authors: Hackley James , Dixon Alison , Royle Carol , Moss Christopher , Brown Richard , Bell Tobyn
Published: March 2024

Compassion-focused chairwork has become a recent focus of empirical investigation. This study extended this area of research by exploring how participants with depression experienced the ‘compassionate other’ imagery exercise enacted via chairwork methods. Eight individuals from primary care NHS mental health services were interviewed about their experience of the practice. The resultant data were analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). Three group experiential themes were identified: care that feels real, chairwork processes and encountering challenges on the road to discovery. The findings indicate that the intervention has therapeutic utility both as an intervention for cultivating compassion and as means of assessing for and identifying blocks to compassion. The results also suggest that there is potential value in enacting compassion-focused imagery techniques through chairwork methods, especially for those who have difficulty accessing mental imagery practices. The findings are contextualised within broader theory and literature, and clinical and research implications are discussed.

Authors: Dahiya Sanju , Garg Munish
Published: March 2024

The world has suffered a lot during the COVID-19 pandemic, for which nobody was prepared. Due to the lack of appropriate treatment, Indian medicinal plants have alleviated the burden due to their diverse health benefits. It has been observed that certain medicinal plants can effectively enhance immunity against microorganisms and viruses. Numerous scientific studies have supported the above claims. This paper presents the SWOC analysis of Indian medicinal plants for their immunity-enhancing effects so that the medicinal plants industry is better prepared to prevent or tackle the rebound of any pandemic-like situation in the future.
Digital Alcohol Interventions Could Be Part of the Societal Response to Harmful Consumption, but We Know Little About Their Long-Term Costs and Health Outcomes
Authors: Ulfsdotter Gunnarsson Katarina , Henriksson Martin , Bendtsen Marcus
Published: March 2024

Alcohol consumption causes both physical and psychological harm and is a leading risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. Digital alcohol interventions have been found to support those looking for help by giving them tools for change. However, whether digital interventions can help tackle the long-term societal consequences of harmful alcohol consumption in a cost-effective manner has not been adequately evaluated. In this Viewpoint, we propose that studies of digital alcohol interventions rarely evaluate the consequences of wider dissemination of the intervention under study, and that when they do, they do not take advantage of modeling techniques that allow for appropriately studying consequences over a longer time horizon than the study period when the intervention is tested. We argue that to help decision-makers to prioritize resources for research and dissemination, it is important to model long-term costs and health outcomes. Further, this type of modeling gives important insights into the context in which interventions are studied and highlights where more research is required and where sufficient evidence is available. The viewpoint therefore invites the researcher not only to reflect on which interventions to study but also how to evaluate their long-term consequences.

Authors: van den Bosch Stefanie C , van Dalen Demi , Meinders Marjan , van Goor Harry , Bergé Stefaan , Stommel Martijn , van Dulmen Sandra
Published: March 2024

Background

During the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, an exponential increase in video consultations replacing in-person outpatient visits was observed in hospitals. Insight into patients’ experiences with this type of consultation is helpful for a broad, sustainable, and patient-centered implementation of video consultation.

Objective

This study aims to examine patients’ experiences with video consultation during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify discriminative patient and consultation characteristics to determine when video consultation is most feasible.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey study was conducted. Patients aged ≥18 years and scheduled for a video consultation at the outpatient clinic of a Dutch university medical center from August 2020 to December 2020 for all medical specialties were eligible. Patients’ experiences were explored through a study-specific survey using descriptive quantitative statistics. Open-ended questions were qualitatively analyzed and thematically categorized into appreciated aspects and aspects for improvement. Discriminative patient and consultation characteristics were identified using 3 distinctive survey items. Characteristics of patients who scored and those who did not score all 3 items positively were analyzed using binary logistic regression.

Results

A total of 1054 patients were included in the analysis. Most patients (964/1054, 91.46%) were satisfied with their video consultation, with a mean overall grade of 8.6 (SD 1.3) of 10. In the qualitative analyses, 70.02% (738/1054) of the patients cited aspects they appreciated and 44.97% (474/1054) mentioned aspects for improvement during their consultation. Patients with better self-rated health reported a positive evaluation significantly more often (P=.001), which also held true for other medical specialties (vs surgical and nonsurgical specialties; P<.001).

Conclusions

Video consultation was perceived as highly satisfactory by patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the best experience reported by healthy participants and those undergoing their first consultation. Appreciated aspects are mainly at the individual professional level, organizational level, and innovation level itself. The aspects that were mentioned for improvement can be changed for the better.
Understanding Patient Perspectives on the Use of Gamification and Incentives in mHealth Apps to Improve Medication Adherence: Qualitative Study
Authors: Tran Steven , Smith Lorraine , Carter Stephen
Published: March 2024

Background

Medication nonadherence remains a significant health and economic burden in many high-income countries. Emerging smartphone interventions have started to use features such as gamification and financial incentives with varying degrees of effectiveness on medication adherence and health outcomes. A more consistent approach to applying these features, informed by patient perspectives, may result in more predictable and beneficial results from this type of intervention.

Objective

This qualitative study aims to identify patient perspectives on the use of gamification and financial incentives in mobile health (mHealth) apps for medication adherence in Australian patients taking medication for chronic conditions.

Methods

A total of 19 participants were included in iterative semistructured web-based focus groups conducted between May and December 2022. The facilitator used exploratory prompts relating to mHealth apps, gamification, and financial incentives, along with concepts raised from previous focus groups. Transcriptions were independently coded to develop a set of themes.

Results

Three themes were identified: purpose-driven design, trust-based standards, and personal choice. All participants acknowledged gamification and financial incentives as potentially effective features in mHealth apps for medication adherence. However, they also indicated that the effectiveness heavily depended on implementation and execution. Major concerns relating to gamification and financial incentives were perceived trivialization and potential for medication abuse, respectively.

Conclusions

The study’s findings provide a foundation for developers seeking to apply these novel features in an app intervention for a general cohort of patients. However, the study highlights the need for standards for mHealth apps for medication adherence, with particular attention to the use of gamification and financial incentives. Future research with patients and stakeholders across the mHealth app ecosystem should be explored to formalize and validate a set of standards or framework.
Lung Cancer Screening in family members and peers of lung cancer patients: Protocol for a prospective cohort study (Preprint)
Authors: Petrangelo Adriano
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Lung cancer screening reduces mortality from lung cancer and screening programs have been recently implemented in the US, Canada, and the UK, yet recruitment remains its greatest challenge. Identifying high-risk participants eligible for screening has traditionally been based on physician-led recruitment and mass advertising campaigns directed to the general public.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify whether lung cancer patients can act as effective advocates for lung cancer screening in their family members and close contacts, and whether this is a worthwhile strategy to increase uptake at the population-wide level.

METHODS

We designed a prospective cohort study where lung cancer patients are approached and educated on effective tools for communicating with family members and close contacts about the benefits of lung cancer screening. Referred individuals will be directed to our study’s website and invited to have their lung cancer risk assessed using a validated lung cancer risk calculator via a questionnaire and will be directed towards the provincial screening program should they meet criteria. Baseline data for all participants included: age, sex, education level, ethnicity, health literacy (as assessed with a 3 item Brief Health Literacy Screen) and smoking status.

RESULTS

Primary outcomes of our study include the number of referred participants per lung cancer survivor and the mean risk of lung cancer of the referred population based on PLCOm2012 scores14. Secondary outcomes for the referred cohort will include (1) eligibility for the provincial lung cancer screening program as defined as a binary variable (being PLCOm2012 score above or below 2%); (2) the proportion of participants eligible for screening who complete LDCT screening within 18 months of referral from a lung cancer survivor; (3) the proportion of participants who demonstrate interest in theoretically undergoing genetic testing to inform lung cancer risk; and (4) the proportion of individuals who demonstrate interest in a smoking cessation program.

CONCLUSIONS

Non-traditional referral methods for lung cancer screening may show promise in enrolling a high-risk population that may benefit from lung cancer screening enrollment.

Impact of Telemedicine Versus In-Person Pediatric Outpatient Type 1 Diabetes Visits on Immediate Glycemic Control: Retrospective Chart Review (Preprint)
Authors: Ferber Christopher , Mittelman Steven D , Moin Tannaz , Wilhalme Holly , Hicks Rebecca
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes require frequent outpatient evaluation to assess glucose trends, modify insulin doses, and screen for comorbidities. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides a detailed glycemic control assessment. Telemedicine has been increasingly used since the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate CGM profile parameter improvement immediately following pediatric outpatient diabetes visits and determine if visit modality impacted these metrics, completion of screening laboratory tests, or diabetic emergency occurrence.

METHODS

A dual-center retrospective review of medical records assessed the CGM metrics time in range and glucose management indicator for pediatric outpatient diabetes visits during 2021. Baseline values were compared with those at 2 and 4 weeks post visit. Rates of completion of screening laboratory tests and diabetic emergencies following visits were determined.

RESULTS

A total of 269 outpatient visits (41.2% telemedicine) were included. Mean time in range increased by 1.63% and 1.35% at 2 and 4 weeks post visit (P=.003 and .01, respectively). Mean glucose management indicator decreased by 0.07% and 0.06% at 2 and 4 weeks post visit (P=.003 and .02, respectively). These improvements in time in range and glucose management indicator were seen across both telemedicine visits and in-person visits without a significant difference. However, patients seen in person were 2.69 times more likely to complete screening laboratory tests (P=.03). Diabetic emergencies occurred too infrequently to analyze.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings demonstrate an immediate improvement in CGM metrics following outpatient visits, regardless of modality. While statistically significant, the magnitude of these changes was small; hence, multiple visits over time would be required to achieve clinically relevant improvement. However, completion of screening laboratory tests was found to be more likely after visits occurring in person. Therefore, we suggest a hybrid approach that allows patient convenience with telemedicine but also incorporates periodic in-person assessment.
Are treatment services ready for the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence in managing opioid use disorder?: Viewpoint Paper (Preprint)

UNSTRUCTURED

In this viewpoint paper we explore the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) in improving outcomes for people with opioid use disorder (OUD) and bring to the table relevant challenges that must be addressed if new technologies are to be utilised ethically, effectively and equitably. First, we explore the conceptualisation of big data analytics and AI and its relevance to OUD treatment services. We then explore potential challenges as well as benefits of leveraging big data analytics and AI to enhance patient care in keeping with international standards for the treatment of OUD. Finally, we lay out strategic and operational principles which OUD treatment services need to address to maximize the potential of big data and AI. These include greater algorithmic transparency, a framework for clinician-technology interfacing, protections for vulnerable situations and people, adequate capture of salient data specific to OUD treatment environments, adequate resources to respond to big data analytical outputs, rebuilding and respecting public trust in institutions and technology, and tackling digital exclusion. Ultimately, effective big data analytics and AI-driven change requires full and open engagement with an OUD treatment system’s complexity, avoiding reductive approaches which may discount existing organisational cultures or exaggerate unhelpful attitudes and practices. We hope, through this paper, to equip the clinician and policy maker to engage with and respond to potential implementation challenges of AI and big data technologies into OUD services.
Bystander Response and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes (Bro. Study) in 3 Gulf Countries: Protocol for a Prospective, Observational, International Collaboration Study (Preprint)
Authors: Farooq Munawar , Al Jufaili Mahmood , Hanjra Faisal K , Ahmad Shabbir , Dababneh Emad Hanna , Al Nahhas Omar , Bashir Khalid
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

: Globally, there is significant variation in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rate. Early links in the chain of survival, including bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator at the scene, are known to be of crucial importance, with strong evidence of increased survival rate with good neurological outcomes. The data from the Middle East are limited and report variable rates of bystander CPR and survival. It is crucial to get prospective, reliable data on bystander response in these regions to help plan interventions to improve bystander response and outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

This international collaborative study aims to describe the characteristics, including bystander interventions and outcomes, of OHCAs brought to hospitals enrolled in the study from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Doha, Qatar; and Muscat, Oman. It also aims to describe the strength of the association between bystander response and OHCA outcomes, including the return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital admission, survival to discharge, and good neurological outcome at discharge in the local context of low bystander CPR rates.

METHODS

This multicenter, prospective, noninterventional observational study (Bro. Study) will be conducted at the emergency departments of 4 participating tertiary care hospitals in 3 countries. The data will be collected prospectively according to the Utstein style (a set of internationally accepted guidelines for uniform reporting of cardiac arrests) on demographic variables (age, sex, nationality, country, participating center, and comorbidities), peri–cardiac arrest variables (location, witnessed or not, bystander CPR, use of automated external defibrillator, time of emergency medical services arrival, initial rhythm, number of shocks, and time of prehospital CPR), and outcome variables (return of spontaneous circulation, survival to discharge, and neurological outcome at discharge and 3 months). Univariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression models will be used to measure the strength of the association of bystander interventions with outcomes using SPSS (version 22).

RESULTS

Data collection began in November 2023 and will continue for 2 years, with publication expected by early 2026.

CONCLUSIONS

Bystander response to an OHCA is critical to a favorable outcome. The reliable, baseline bystander CPR data will be a cornerstone in the team’s next planned projects, which are to qualitatively identify the barriers to bystander CPR, conduct a scoping review of community interventions in the Gulf and other Asian countries, and design and implement strategies to help improve the bystander CPR rate in the community.

The Influence of MTHFR C677T Variants on Neuropathy Risk Among T2dm Patients Receiving Monotherapy Metformin
Authors: Yanuar Michael Resta Surya , Istyastono Enade Perdana , Virginia Dita Maria
Published: March 2024

Neuropathy is the most common microvascular complication among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metformin consumption increases neuropathy risk. The Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme has confirmed its role in neuropathy. Metformin and MTHFR could decrease folate and induce hyperhomoscysteine. One of the common variants of the MTHFR gene is C677T and its located in the exon area. This study aimed to observe the association between variant C677T in the MTHFR gene and the risk of neuropathy among newly diagnosed T2DM patients with naive metformin. This cross-sectional study recruited 103 patients. The neuropathy risk was examined according to medical judgment through Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) criteria. Genotyping C677T was performed using PCR-RFLP. This study found only one patient has a homozygote mutant, but more than 50% of patients were detected with allele mutants. There were no statistical differences in patient characteristics between CC and CT genotypes (p>0.05). Association between C677T and neuropathy risk was not significant statistically, either in the genotype model (p=0.97), allele model (p=0.82), and dominant model (p=0.91). There was still no significant association after adjusting for several confounding factors. We conclude that C677T in our population did not influence neuropathy risk. More specific criteria and laboratory parameters indicated neuropathy should be examined in the future study.

Manipulation Strategy to Increase Expression Level of Soluble Recombinant Protein Penicillin G Acylase (PGA) in Bacterial Host Escherichia coli: A Review Article
Authors: Amin Achmad Makin , Sismindari  , Aniqah Sunni Sofiah , Zakiyah Lutfia Nadiatuz , Rasyidah Muthi'ah , Purwanto
Published: March 2024

The strategy of producing PGA on a massive scale with high levels of soluble protein can be through recombinant genetic techniques and expressed in a certain host. E. coli is still a popular bacterial host to produce a recombinant protein which has advantages such as fast growth, low production cost, and high expression rate. Apart from its advantages, E. coli as a production host also has disadvantages including the expression of recombinant proteins often failing to form the proper folding conformation which makes the protein biologically inactive. Many strategies can be developed to overcome these problems, such as the selection of the host strain (E. coli HB101 & JM109), fusion protein to enhance the recovery of soluble protein (MBP & NusA), optimization of fermentation (low-temperature incubation), and optimization of the protein isolation process for the recovery of active PGA (Freeze-thawing method).

Published: March 2024

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of mung bean drink with inulin and iron tablets on the erythropoiesis response as characterized by changes in reticulocyte count of adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia. This is a non-blinding, randomized controlled trial with pre-test-post-test with control groups research design which was conducted in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Sixty-one adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia were recruited from junior and senior high schools and then randomized into two groups. The treatment group (n=30) received iron tablets and a mung bean drink with inulin, whereas the control group (n=31) received iron tablets and a palm sugar drink. The intervention was carried out for 12 weeks. Data collection involved interviews, monitoring adherence to drinking, and blood tests. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square Tests, paired T-Tests, and Mann-Whitney Tests. The results showed that there was a significant increase in reticulocyte count after two weeks of intervention in the treatment group (p-value 0.0001) and the control group (p-value 0.001). After four and 12 weeks of intervention, reticulocyte counts of both groups decreased along with increasing hemoglobin levels. In conclusion, the mung bean drink with inulin and iron tablets is effective in the erythropoiesis response.
Development and Characterization of Pectin-Based Colon Targeted Pellets Containing Lactobacillus Plantarum FNCC-0461
Authors: I Dewa Gede Anom Anjasmara , Iswandana Raditya , Hartrianti Pietradewi
Published: March 2024

Lactobacillus plantarum FNCC-0461 is a lactic acid bacteria isolated from "dadih" a traditional Indonesian food that has potential as a probiotic. Probiotics can show health benefits if they can maintain cell viability of at least 7 log CFU in the distal ileum and colon. However, most probiotics are not resistant to the extreme conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotic encapsulation in the form of pectin-based colon targeted pellets is a promising delivery system to overcome probiotic viability problems due to the gastrointestinal tract extreme conditions and can assist release to specific target site in colon. Pellets was produced by extrusion-spheronization method using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), lactose and pectin. Optimization of spheronization process was carried out by varying the spheronization speed and time while the optimization of pellets formula was carried out by varying the concentration of total pectin and the type of coating polymer (cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) or shellac). The morphology, particle size, moisture content, micromeritic properties, process yield and viability of pellets were evaluated. Release of probiotics on coated and uncoated pellets were examined at pH 1.2, 6.8 and 7.4 under simulated colon fluid for 24 hours. The formula containing MCC, lactose and pectin (5:4:1) with spheronization speed at 1500 rpm for 15 minutes showed the best pellets characteristic and cell viability. The pellets obtained were spherical, with particle size distribution of 913.57±8.28 μm, process yield of 88.71±1.04 % and viability of 7.50 x 107 cfu/g. Pellets coated with CAP showed the highest cell release in simulated colon fluid of 1.38 x 107 CFU/g at 24 hours. This research proved that CAP coated pellet formulation has promising potential for colon targeted delivery of L. plantarum as well as to protect the viability of probiotics for colon-targeted delivery.

BASE NACIONAL COMUM CURRICULAR: a emergência de uma subjetividade competente
Authors: Da Silva Santaiana Rochele , Machado Jaqueline Aparecida
Published: March 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar em que medida a noção de competência apresentada na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) compõe um campo de possibilidades para constituição de uma subjetividade que procura formar sujeitos competentes no bloco da alfabetização. O trabalho toma como campo teórico-metodológico a perspectiva pós-estruturalista, com as teorizações produzidas por Michel Foucault, abordando a temática do currículo através da análise do conceito de competência na alfabetização, apresentado na Base Nacional Comum Curricular. Metodologicamente o estudo vem operando com as ferramentas teóricas analíticas, governamento biopolítico e discurso. Assim, a BNCC pelo fato de ser uma referência obrigatória na construção dos currículos escolares emerge como um documento que propõe práticas visíveis no gerenciamento das condutas dos sujeitos, que operam no âmbito das subjetividades neoliberais.  Entende-se com esse estudo que, ao mesmo tempo que são delineados quais conhecimentos, atitudes ou performances devem ser privilegiados na composição dos currículos escolares, determinados tipos de sujeitos são constituídos no cenário contemporâneo.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO MODELO BIOECOLÓGICO PARA A COMPREENSÃO DAS BARREIRAS ATITUDINAIS NO CONTEXTO DA EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA
Authors: Castellani Rocha Oliveira Marciria , Barrios Alia
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os principais conceitos do Modelo Bioecológico de Urie Bronfenbrenner, refletindo sobre suas contribuições para a Educação Inclusiva, de forma geral, e para a compreensão do possível efeito das barreiras atitudinais nos processos de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem da pessoa com deficiência, de maneira mais específica. Enquanto perspectiva teórico-metodológica, o Modelo Bioecológico enfatiza o papel central da pessoa em seus processos de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem, sem deixar de ressaltar a importância de suas relações sociais nos diferentes ambientes que frequenta. Nessa perspectiva, a escola, ambiente rico em interações sociais diversificadas, constitui-se um espaço privilegiado para o processo de desenvolvimento humano das pessoas com e sem deficiências. As barreiras atitudinais se manifestam como entraves ao estabelecimento de interações pessoais com a reciprocidade e afetividade necessárias para a constituição de processos proximais capazes de promover o desenvolvimento. Embora o Modelo Bioecológico tenha sido pouco usado nas pesquisas sobre Educação Inclusiva e barreiras atitudinais, a análise de seu arcabouço teórico permite sinalizar as potencialidades desta perspectiva para a compreensão e o estudo dos temas abordados, assim como a responsabilidade da escola na construção de sensibilidades, motivações e habilidades fundamentais para o cuidado entre os seres humanos.
GESTÃO DEMOCRÁTICA DA EDUCAÇÃO: uma análise dos planos municipais de educação 2015-2022 da Associação dos Municípios do Alto Irani (AMAI)
Authors: Dalmédico Vanzela Ivonete , Petry Oto João
Published: March 2024

O objetivo geral deste artigo consiste em analisar a meta da gestão democrática da educação nos Planos Municipais de Educação (PMEs), da Associação dos Municípios do Alto Irani (AMAI) na interface com o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) Lei n.º 13.005/2014 e o Plano Estadual de Educação (PEE) de Santa Catarina (SC) Lei n.º 16.794/2015. Este artigo é resultado de pesquisa qualitativa, guiada no processo de análise científica pelo materialismo histórico, feita a partir de estudo documental e bibliográfico, realizado com base na técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2016). Os resultados apontam que o conjunto dos 14 PMEs, da AMAI, tratam da gestão democrática nas metas, contudo a maior parte dos aspectos tratados guardam similaridade ao que está previsto no PNE e em menor quantidade com o disposto no PEE de SC. Nenhum PME apresenta conteúdo mais específico na meta, a fim de apresentar mais detalhes ou acrescentar explicações acerca da gestão democrática, o que seria esperado para ampliar noções e perspectivas sobre essa temática, uma vez que, os municípios tinham autonomia – por ocasião da discussão e elaboração dos PMEs – para aprovar leis específicas disciplinando-a. Afinal, se a elaboração dos planos é um espaço de planejamento, caberia aos PMEs a definição com clareza de como iriam implantar a gestão democrática, ou seja, faltou a interlocução com a materialidade.

Este artigo teve como objetivo investigar a percepção dos alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola em relação ao uso de Tecnologias Digitais nas aulas de Educação Física. Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem de pesquisa-ação, conduzida com uma turma do Ensino Médio de uma escola estadual. Utilizamos um questionário online para entender as expectativas iniciais da turma em relação ao uso de Tecnologias Digitais e, em seguida, conduzimos três aulas incorporando tecnologias digitais. Ao término das aulas, promovemos discussões para avaliar a percepção dos alunos e documentamos as observações em um diário de campo. Os resultados foram positivos, demonstrando que o uso de tecnologias permitiu aos estudantes experimentar novas formas de aprender e refletir sobre a interação entre o mundo virtual e o mundo físico, promovendo um ambiente de aprendizado estimulante e envolvente. Isso ofereceu uma experiência diferenciada em relação à abordagem tradicional. Sendo assim, a partir das experimentações os estudantes destacaram que as aulas foram divertidas e educativas. Portanto, quanto as percepções dos alunos podemos identificar que as aulas que incorporam tecnologias digitais podem proporcionar um ambiente de aprendizado estimulante e envolvente, mas também oferecem uma experiência diferenciada em relação à abordagem tradicional.

Authors: Anitua Gabriel Ignacio , Sicardi Mariano
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes to give the kick to discuss a legal theory about using plea bargaining in Latin America. First of all, we do a review of the different research that legal and sociolegal scholars conducted on this phenomenon. Then, we describe the risk of plea bargaining in the US criminal justice system based on the recent report by the American Bar Association and ask: Can something similar be thought of for our country? Finally, and after pointing out some hypotheses for future work, we conclude the necessity of building a theory on plea bargaining to establish deontological and legal limits in its use.

The article justifies a standard of proof for crimes against humanity. In order to achieve that objective, this investigation is divided into three parts. Firstly, it reflects the absence of an exhaustive explanation that justifies the application of a standard of proof in transitional justice. Secondly, it adopts an alternative procedural model as a method to set a flexible standard of proof, different from these used in criminal trials. Thirdly, it designs the argument of procedural asymmetries to expose two central aspects: the unjustified disadvantage suffered by the victim of crimes against humanity and the limitations of the legal sanction imposed for these crimes. Lastly, the article concludes that the application of a differentiated standard of proof is only possible in exceptional cases, such as those trials associated with serious human rights violations.
Dispute Causes Analysis Using Analytical Hierarchy Process for Capstone Projects

Published: March 2024

Abstract: A disagreement, conflict, or subjective matter that leads to a legal process is termed as a dispute. The likelihood of a dispute arising in a loosely framed large scale construction project is high, which has an impact on project progress and can be considered a type of project risk. When different parties associated with the project are unable to resolve the disputes arising during the contract period it can be resolved by applying Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) technique which includes Arbitration, Litigation, Mediation and Conciliation. There are several types of construction disputes in construction projects like price escalation claim, change of work order claim, extra item claim, variation claim, loss of profit claim, delay claim which can be differentiate in various categories of dispute causes.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: In our everyday dealings with friends, family and co-workers, gestures are crucial as they offer an easy and innate way of communicating. From simple hand movements to greet someone or acknowledge friends from a distance, gestures form part of our daily engagements. Everybody, recognizes gestures as the extension of our body language. If this concept is applied to human-computer interaction, it becomes possible to have hand gesture detection through vision-based technology. In this case, certain movements are performed before a camera with each movement corresponding to specific actions.
Incremental Learning-Enhanced Ensemble Convolutional Neural Network for Robust Pose-Invariant Face Recognition
Authors: Nivas Appala Prapul
Published: March 2024

Abstract: In the dynamic realm of face recognition, where challenges such as pose variations, illumination changes, and expression nuances abound, this research embarks on a novel journey toward enhancing recognition robustness. Herein lies an amalgamation of innovative methodologies aimed at transcending the boundaries of traditional face recognition paradigms. At the forefront, an Adaptive Morphological Bilateral Filtering (AMBF) technique emerges, poised to revolutionize image preprocessing. AMBF stands as a beacon of adaptability, seamlessly sharpening blurry facial images while mitigating the risks of introducing undesirable artifacts. Its arsenal of morphological operations, carefully orchestrated to uplift image quality, presents a promising solution to the perennial challenge of recognizing faces under adverse conditions. Complementing this pioneering filtering approach is the integration of an Ensemble Convolutional Neural Network (ECNN), an avant-garde ensemble learning architecture.
Optimizing Software Effort Estimation Models Using Enhancement of Firefly Algorithm
Authors: Prabhanjali B.
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Estimating the amount of work required in order to create software development is regarded as essential to the software development life cycle and to the control of project costs, schedules, and quality. As a result, precise estimation plays a critical role in project success and risk mitigation. Software effort estimation has drawn a lot of interest from scholars recently and presented a problem to the software business. Three COCOMO-based models' parameters are to be optimized using a metaheuristic method called improvement of Firefly Algorithm, which is proposed in this research. The basic COCOMO model and the other two models that have suggested in literature as expansions of basic COCOMO model are among these models. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is one of the evaluation measures used to assess the created estimate models.

Student 360: Navigating Courses at your Fingertips with Student 360
Authors: Kumar M. Shiva
Published: March 2024

Abstract: In colleges and Universities, faculty face a lot of problems collecting information from students about the completion and choosing of Open Electives and Professional electives at the beginning of the semester. Also, most of the students select the subjects which were already attained by them, not realizing until the final semester. Thus, resulting in not satisfying the required credit score and taking an extra semester wasting their valuable time. Student360 is a project that focuses on students completing their Open Electives and Professional electives, faculty managing students academic profiles and admins adding subjects elected by students and also regarding their academics. The project works as a reminder for students to check their credit score and wrap up the subjects which were not completed by them previously

Salah satu faktor terpenting dalam usaha budidaya kepiting bakau (Scylla serrata) adalah pakan. Pakan kepiting harus memiliki kandungan nutrient yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan kepiting, seperti protein, karbohidrat, lemak, vitamin, dan mineral, yang mana sumber nutrient ini dapat berasal dari bahan alami seperti tepung maggot BSF. Tepung maggot dapat menjadi pakan alternatif dikarenakan maggot BSF tidak membawa maupun menjadi agen penyakit, serta maggot mengandung kadar protein yang cukup tinggi, berkisar antara 40% - 50%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian persentase tepung maggot sebagai pakan pengganti terhadap pertumbuhan dan tingkat kelulushidupan kepiting bakau. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret hingga Mei 2021, di area Ekowisata Kelompok Nelayan Wanasari Tuban, Bali. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen dengan rancangan penelitian Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis ragam ANOVA yang dilanjutkan dengan uji BNT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian persentase tepung maggot berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan bobot kepiting bakau, akan tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap tingkat kelulushidupan kepiting bakau.
