Published: November 2021

On April 19, 2019, one male career Fire Captain, one male career Fire Engineer, and two male career Firefighters received serious injuries as a result of cascading thermal runaway within a 2.16 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (ESS) that led to a deflagration event. The smoke detector in the ESS signaled an alarm condition at approximately 16:55 hours and discharged a total flooding clean agent suppressant (Novec 1230). The injured firefighters were members of a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) team that arrived on the scene at approximately 18:28 hours. The HAZMAT team noted low-lying white clouds of a gas/vapor mixture issuing from the structure and nearby components and drifting through the desert. The team defined a hot zone and made several entries into the hot zone to conduct 360-degree size-ups around the ESS using multi-gas meters, colorimetric tubes, and thermal imaging cameras (TICs). The team detected dangerously elevated levels of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and carbon monoxide (CO) during each entry. The team continued to monitor the ESS and noted the white gas/vapor mixture stopped flowing out of the container at approximately 19:50 hours. The HAZMAT leadership developed an incident action plan with input from a group of senior fire officers and information about the ESS provided by representatives from the companies that owned, designed, and maintained the ESS. The HAZMAT team made a final entry into the hot zone and found that HCN and CO concentrations in the vicinity of the ESS were below an acceptable threshold. In following with the incident action plan, the team opened the door to the ESS at approximately 20:01 hours. A deflagration event was observed by the firefighters outside the hot zone at approximately 20:04 hours. All HAZMAT team members received serious injuries in the deflagration and were quickly transported to nearby hospitals. Note: The lithium-ion battery ESS involved in this incident was commissioned prior to release of a first draft of the current consensus standard on ESS installations, NFPA 855 [1]; the design of the ESS complied with the pertinent codes and standards active at the time of its commissioning.

Análises matemáticas são ferramentas importantes para uma melhor compreensão do mundo. Nesse sentido, quando estudantes do ensino médio da Escola Rotary de Nova Descoberta, localizada no bairro Nova Descoberta–Recife/PE, apresentaram inquietações em diálogos com os professores de matemática acerca do descarte irresponsável do lixo na comunidade, alguns questionamentos foram levantados sobre o que poderia ser feito para amenizar a situação. O descarte inapropriado dificulta o fluxo da água nos períodos chuvosos, potencializando situações de alagamentos que acabam culminando em danos materiais e humanos aos moradores da comunidade. Assim, no início do corrente ano, os professores idealizaram uma pesquisa almejando melhor conhecer essa realidade, levando em consideração os estudantes como parte integrante da mesma. A presente pesquisa objetiva promover reflexões sobre o descarte irresponsável do lixo no entorno do Centro Comercial de Nova Descoberta e provocar possíveis mudanças de postura. Para tanto, inicialmente foi aplicado aos estudantes um questionário online, via google forms, para fazer um levantamento de dados sobre o descarte do lixo nas residências dos mesmos. Após essa etapa, os gráficos gerados foram apresentados e analisados no grande grupo, em aula via google meet. Aplicou-se um segundo questionário, ao final, para avaliar como a análise dos dados influenciou na forma como os estudantes enxergam o descarte do lixo e como podem diminuí-lo. Constatou-se que dos 75% estudantes residentes no bairro, 71% reconhecem já ter jogado lixo na rua, 30% nos canais ou canaletas e 16% em barreiras. Após reflexões, 55% sinalizaram perceber que o descarte irresponsável do lixo é prejudicial. Quando indagados se voltariam à prática anterior, 74% afirmaram que não. Percebeu-se que a maioria dos estudantes foram alcançados através da reflexão gerada pela análise matemática e se mostraram conscientes e dispostos a se portarem de outra forma no tocante ao descarte do lixo na referida localidade PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Alagamento, Análise Matemática, Descarte do Lixo, Estudante, Nova Descoberta

Published: November 2021

A avaliação como instrumento classificatório e/ou seletivo tem sido usada a mais de 500 anos no ocidente, sendo evidenciada sua prática há cerca de 3000 anos antes da era cristã. Contudo, no ambiente escolar tem funcionado como uma ação que incorpora tensões constituintes das práticas sociais e reveladora de seus vínculos com as ações escolares, sendo que muitos têm-na utilizado como mecanismo de punição e exclusão de alguns estudantes. Nesse contexto, há discussões no âmbito educacional, sobre uma mudança de visão que direcione os professores a considerarem a avaliação, como uma ferramenta direcionada a construção coletiva de uma escola de qualidade para todos. Nessa perspectiva, a presente pesquisa buscou colaborar para a construção de novos caminhos acerca dos processos avaliativos utilizados pelos professores na educação básica, uma vez que propõe uma nova forma de avaliar a aprendizagem com base em modelos existentes no presente, mas com um olhar mais holístico do processo de aprendizagem. A presente pesquisa, faz parte do produto educacional do Método das Estações dos Saberes (ES) e seu desenvolvimento ocorreu por meio da pesquisa-ação, numa abordagem qualitativa de Estudo de Caso, desenvolvida em três etapas: coleta de dados a partir da visita a escola e observação de seus espaços; a prática dos professores, no contexto do Método ES, seguida da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado e por fim, mediante a análise destes dados, foi proposto um novo instrumento de avaliação que melhor se adequasse ao Método ES, desenvolvido no âmbito do projeto das Escolas de Tempo e Ensino Integral do Estado da Bahia. A validação da pesquisa se deu a partir da comparação entre a avaliação tradicional e o novo método proposto, partindo-se dos dados coletados na instituição onde o mesmo foi proposto e por meio dos indicadores de aprendizagem da educação básica.

Published: November 2021

Communication between pre-adolescent boys can be viewed as strange and unlike teen girls and “grown ups”. According to Debra Tannen (1990), “All genders strive to be understood, however young men try to communicate to remain independent.” This often leads to competition amongst the male gender. In order to test this theory, this study looks to observe if there are any differences between hands on activity communication and technology gameplay communication. The study observed 3 pre-adolescent boys trying to work together to make a house in Legos and then the boys were instructed to make a house on Minecraft. The levels of communication vary but there are constant and interesting ways pre-adolescent boys communicate to each other. The data from the study suggests that Minecraft allowed for more quality communication than Lego’s.

The technology development and the changing requirements of the labor market lead to changes in education. When we talk about computer science and information technology these changes need to be more frequent and extensive. We need not only a change in the curricula content to reach our education aims, but a thorough approach pursuant to the curriculum and the psychological characteristics of the contemporary students as well. In this article we will outline the main approaches used to teach CS at school and present our ideas based on the combination of the best classical approaches practice and experience from the application of innovative didactic methods and tools.

Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have developed rapidly in recent years. We have seen tremendous progress in the development of both VR software and hardware. VR is in creas ingly used as a tool for training and learning in various areas of life. This paper presents the currently available types of VR devices and compares their technical properties, technologies and price. It anal yses the capabilities of certain devices and offers possible ways of using VR headsets in education. The purpose of the study is to help choose the right VR headset in the processes of training and learning. These helmets are divided into three classes – low, medium and high – depending on their technical characteristics, the technologies they use, and their price. Cost can be an important factor in the need for mass training. The results determine the following devices as the best ones in each class: Samsung Gear VR (low class), Oculus Quest (middle class), VIVE Pro Eye and Varjo VR-2 Pro (high class). The latter is regarded as the most powerful VR headset. The paper also considers the latest technologies that have already been integrated in some VR headsets – eye tracking, hand tracking, tracking with Base Stations, object tracking and wireless connection. They may be absolutely necessary for the training and learning processes, or completely unnecessary which may reduce costs.

Although, at the time of this study, the cardiotocograph machine was the acceptable monitoring tool to be used intrapartum, its appropriate use was a matter of concern for midwives globally. This article reports the findings of a qualitative study which investigated the perceptions of midwives, who were working in a labor ward in a public referral hospital in Namibia, regarding the use of the cardiotocograph machine. The objectives of the study included: to explore and describe the perceptions of midwives working in a labor ward in Namibia regarding the use of the cardiotocograph machine as a labor monitoring tool; and to explore and describe how midwives working in a labor ward in Namibia perceived informing women who were in labor about the use of the cardiotocograph machine as a labor monitoring tool.

The study site was a public referral hospital which offered services to the five northern regions of Namibia. The requisite data was collected using semi-structured, one-on-one interviews which were conducted with seventeen (17) purposively selected participants. The interviews were recorded on an audio device. The spiral method of data analysis was adopted. The study findings revealed that the participants had varying perceptions on the use of the cardiotocograph machine intrapartum and, as such, perceived its use as a challenge. It was concluded that midwives need to be empowered via refresher courses with regard to the use of cardiotocograph machine to ensure optimum results.

It has been reported that refractive errors (RE) and binocular vision (BV) anomalies are common among university students. In this study we aimed to assess RE and BV status among university students in Saudi Arabia, and its relation to the academic performance. We recruited 109 participants (aged from 18 to 21 years). Visual acuity (VA) and objective refraction were used to assess the refractive status. Cover test, near-point convergence (NPC) and stereopsis tests were used to assess the BV status. Convergence insufficiency symptom survey (CISS) was applied to quantify near-work related symptoms. Mann-Whitney U test (p value was set as p < 0.05) was used to compare VA, CISS, NPC and the academic performance between the groups who had heterophoria versus orthophoria. We found that there was only 38% emmetrope, while the percentage of heterophoria was 45.8%. The academic performance was not statistically different among the two groups, but CISS and stereopsis scores were significantly different (p < 0.03). We concluded that RE and BV anomalies were common among university students in Saudi Arabia, but did not affect the academic performance. More studies are warranted to understand the low scores of CISS and stereoacuity, and their association with RE and BV anomalies.

Aflatoxins and especially aflatoxin B, are the devastating contaminant of food and feed products with hazardous effects to mankind and his domestic animals. These investigations were set to evaluate the effect of various levels of Commiphora myrrha resin (1.0, 1.25, 2.25, and 3.25 g/100 ml) and Prunus mahaleb seed extract (0.75, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 g/100 ml) on the growth and aflatoxin secretion by two aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. The two plant extracts significantly (p<0.05) decreased aflatoxin secretion, and inhibited the fungal growth. Resin of C. myrrha displayed 51.9-95.7% reduction in total aflatoxin secretion by A. flavus, and 46.9-92% for A. parasiticus, and Seed extract of P. mahaleb decreased aflatoxin up to 53.7-95.8% and 40-94.7%, respectively. The inhibition of aflatoxin B (B1 and B2) by myrrh resin and seed extract of mahaleb ranged between 51.7-93.5, 50-93.6% (A. flavus) and 39.5-89.7%, 37.9-93% (A. parasiticus). The mycelial dry weight of A. flavus and A. parasiticus ws decreased up to 46.1-58.7%, 28.9-51.3% (Myrrh resin), and between 45-56.9%, 33.3-55.9% (Mahaleb seed extract). Nonetheless, the two plant extracts did not detoxify aflatoxin B1. Therefore, it apparent that the resin of C. myrrha and seed extract of P. mahaleb affected the biosynthesis pathway of aflatoxins. Thus, they can be recommended as effective natural plant biopreservative against aflatoxin contamination of food and feed products.
