Authors: Sukhorukova Arina A. , Buranok Sergey O.
Published: October 2023

The development of the information society and the technological development of the Russian Federation poses new challenges for pedagogy. The main trend in the development of modern Russian education is a combination of both traditional values aimed at the formation of patriotism, Russian civic identity, morality, and the digitalization of education. This article discusses the role, significance, and impact on the quality of knowledge of students of digital technologies in the educational process of studying regional studies of secondary general and secondary vocational education (on the example of studying the history of the Samara Region). The authors consider both widely used digital technologies (work in the Microsoft PowerPoint program; use of films; Internet resources; work in the Microsoft Word program) and digital technologies introduced into the educational process. Particular attention is paid to the peculiarities of assimilation of information by students of the considered ICT resources in different age groups. Development and testing of scientific and methodological support of regional history in the educational process, taking into account the use of digital technologies, includes the following aspects: theoretical description of digital technologies; the possibility of introducing into the educational process the study of regional studies; description of the pedagogical experiment.
Barriers to Corporate Sustainability in the U.S.
Authors: McGrady Pavlina , Golicic Susan
Published: October 2023

Sustainability is critical to the future success of businesses; those that do not implement sustainability initiatives may lose customers, investors, and/or profits. This study examines barriers to corporate sustainability, measured through the four dimensions of the Prism of Sustainability (environmental, social, economic, and institutional), a framework of sustainability not commonly used in business research. An online survey of sustainability managers from a variety of industries in the United States distributed in the spring of 2021 yielded a total of 361 responses. Results reveal that lack of leadership and lack of governance were the most predominant barriers to corporate sustainability. Surprisingly, the most frequently cited barrier in the literature—resources—was not identified as a significant barrier for U.S. companies. The impact of the pandemic was also qualitatively explored to see if such constraints might have a nuanced effect on corporate sustainability efforts. This research expands the contexts in which the Prism of Sustainability is applied in business studies, highlighting it as a means to assess corporate sustainability. Results provide important managerial implications, highlighting the importance of measures to govern the organization’s sustainability effort and the critical role leadership plays. Sustainable management is a necessity for business, and therefore, addressing barriers to achieving it will be imperative for companies’ futures.
Mucoadhesive Buccal Films
Authors: H J Yuktha , Kulkarni Gururaj S , Paarak Padmaa M
Published: October 2023

Pharmaceutical formulations are experiencing a significant transformation as novel drug delivery techniques become increasingly available and effective. While there are many different types of medical dosage forms, each has its own limitations, such as tablet choking and painful parenteral dosages. Buccal drug delivery, which involves administering medication to the oral cavity, offers a convenient and easy-to-administer alternative. The oral route of medication administration has numerous benefits, including avoiding liver metabolism, enhancing drug bioavailability, and improving the onset of action. By directly entering the systemic circulation, active pharmaceutical ingredients can produce their therapeutic effects. As the buccal mucosa has a high degree of permeability and blood supply, it is a highly accessible drug delivery system. There are six theories that explain mucosal adhesion: electronics, wettability, adsorption, degradation, diffusion, and mechanics. Various in vitro and in vivo approaches have been used to study buccal drug delivery systems. This paper discusses the mechanisms of action, mucosal adhesion theories, and standard techniques for producing films. Key areas of study in buccal drug delivery systems include evaluating films for weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, surface pH, percentage of moisture absorption and loss, tensile strength, swelling index, content uniformity, and in vitro permeation studies.
Voicing Silence: A Postcolonial Reading of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun
Authors: Nandanam Meera. K. G
Published: October 2023

Many African countries have been disposed to colonialism and its consequences on their livelihoods. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Adichie Ngozi sets the scene for a long battle well known as the Biafran civil war between the Igbo tribe and its counterpart, the Hausa tribe. For two years, both ethnic tribes fought for leadership and dominance, land and its accompanying resources. This ensued into poverty, diaspora, loss of identity, identity reformation, and the deaths of countless Civilians and soldiers. This paper is an attempt to analyse Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's, Half of a Yellow Sun using the post-colonial theory. The study attempts to address the following: the context of the Biafran war, the causes of the Biafran Civil war, how the identity of the Igbo tribe was shaped under the Biafran civil war, specifically, reviewing the lived experiences of major characters within the mentioned novel, namely, Olanna, Richard and Ugwu. This study found that the identity of all three characters under preview has been shaped during the Biafran war and as a result, they have emerged from the war well rooted in their culture.

Authors: Braga Francisco de Assis , Braga Pedro Paulo Malfitano , Teixeira Fernanda Janes Ferreira
Published: October 2023

Agrosilvopastoral systems involve the consortium of trees, agricultural crops, and pasture, in the same area, concomitant or sequential, based on agroecological bases and on the cycling of organic matter and nutrients. This research compares soil fertility under pasture and agrosilvopastoral system. The area of 5 ha, is located on the Campus of the Federal University of Viçosa in Florestal city, central region of Minas Gerais state, formed by Urochloa decumbens for about 30 years, in an argisolic dystrophic Red Yellow Latosol. Two agrosilvopastoral systems - in single lines 2 x 10 m and double lines 2 x 2 + 10 m - were compared with pasture without trees. The soil preparation was conventional, with ploughing and leveling grids, in December 2009. Seedlings of the hybrid Eucalyptpus urophylla and E. grandis, clone GG100, were planted in level and subsoiler lines, which received 500 kg ha-1 of reactive phosphate at a depth of 0.5 m. At planting, each seedling received 120 g of N:P:K 10:28:06 + 0.3% B + 0.5% Zn; and 120 g of N:P:K 20:00:20, at 60 days. The corn was sown in the alleys, receiving 360 kg ha-1 of N:P:K 08:28:16 + 0.5% Zn, at planting, and 240 kg of urea ha-1, at 30 days. After the corn harvest, the pasture was formed naturally from the seed bank. At 135 months post-planting, five composite soil samples were collected in each studied area, obtained from ten simple samples of the 0-5 cm layer. The following attributes were analyzed: pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, Al, H + Al, OM, and Prem. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and F test (p,0.05), and the means of the significant treatments were compared by the Scott Knott test (p<0.05). Both APS provided an increase in the levels of OM, P, Ca, SB, t, and H + Al in the soil, keeping unchanged the other attributes analyzed in relation to conventional pasture. No significant differences in fertility were detected between the two agrosilvopastoral systems studied.

Published: October 2023

The increasing of organic waste generation in institutional and domestic environments reflects the need to use practices that value these materials on site. Small-scale composting is an efficient, effective, and low-cost alternative solution for this waste treatment. In order to make on site composting accessible and disseminate its benefits, this study addresses the use of biological accelerators in small-scale composting, using leftover vegetables and fruits, spent coffee grounds and garden foliage, all generated in an educational institution. The experiment was completely random, with 4 treatments and 5 repetitions each, contemplating the composting with: 1) commercial inoculant (CI); 2) Efficient Microorganisms taken from forest soil by traditional method (EM); 3) Efficient Microorganisms taken from coffee plantation soil obtained by traditional method (EMC); 4) without inoculant (control). The analysis methodology included physicochemical and biological parameters monitoring, analysis of fertility and toxicity using the seed germination test. Results showed that, statistically, the application of inoculants in composting is not essential for the good development of the process on a small scale, under the conditions studied, which would contribute to the non-necessity of costs on additives. The use of inoculants did not change the physicochemical conditions of the process and the final compost. However, the germination index of the CI (commercial inoculant) treatment was shown as a stimulant for seed germination and growth. All parameters evaluated for the organic compound were in accordance with the standards recommended by Normative Instruction nº. 25/2009, regarding organic fertilizers.

Jornalismo e intersubjetividade: a cobertura de saúde na pandemia do Coronavírus no Brasil
Authors: Dos Santos Raissa Nascimento , Rêgo Marília Gabriela Silva , Da Rocha Heitor Costa Lima
Published: October 2023

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir a intersubjetividade como característica constitutiva da narrativa jornalística em contrapartida ao mito da objetividade. Para tanto, as reflexões partem do conceito de dialogismo em Bakhtin e do auxílio de Schudson (2010) e Motta (2017). Ao longo do texto são trazidos casos da imprensa brasileira sobre a cobertura da pandemia do novo coronavírus (Covid-19) que desafia a narrativa jornalística a trazer enredos compreensíveis diante da complexidade da crise. Neste sentido, verificou-se a importância da intersubjetividade no contexto das implicações envolvidas na construção da notícia sobre a pandemia da Covid-19, situando o jornalista como parte ativa deste processo, inclusive nas marcas discursivas da emoção que reforçam a relação do indivíduo com o mundo possível presente nas notícias, constituindo o jornalismo sempre envolvido pelo outro e suas circunstâncias culturais, históricas e sociais.
Aplicação de redes neurais artificiais na classificação e zoneamento de focos de calor na reserva extrativista Chico Mendes - Acre, Brasil
Authors: De Melo Jardel Anderson Freitas , Rocha Karla da Silva
Published: October 2023

A Amazônia abriga a maior floresta tropical contínua do mundo e desempenha um papel fundamental na regulação do clima global. No entanto, a ação do fogo na região representa um desafio urgente, com potenciais danos à biodiversidade, ao meio ambiente e às comunidades locais. Em 2022, o Brasil testemunhou uma perda alarmante de 16,3 milhões de hectares de floresta devido a atividades relacionadas ao fogo, e a Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes, no estado do Acre, destaca-se como a segunda unidade de conservação federal mais ameaçada por incêndios.  Por se caracterizar como uma importante área de proteção, torna-se crucial encontrar métodos eficazes para a prevenção e gerenciamento de áreas com risco de fogo. Nesse contexto, a inteligência artificial, especialmente as Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA), têm se destacado como um modelo eficaz de predição em diversas áreas. O presente estudo buscou desenvolver uma RNA para classificar e zonear a ocorrência de focos de calor na Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes.  Foi utilizado o software R Studio 4.2.3, em conjunto com o pacote "keras" e o framework "TensorFlow", para a construção de uma RNA do tipo Multilayer Perceptron, utilizando o algoritmo de retropropagação de aprendizagem, com topologia de dez camadas de entradas, quinze camadas intermediárias e uma de saída. O conjunto de dados envolveu registros de focos de calor entre 2016 e 2019 para treinamento da rede, e dados de 2020 para validação. Os resultados revelaram uma acurácia do modelo de 74%, uma sensibilidade de 76% e especificidade de 71%. Além disso, a taxa de verdadeiros positivos alcançou 81%, enquanto a de verdadeiros negativos foi de 64%. Os resultados obtidos sinalizam uma base sólida do modelo de RNA, indicando seu potencial para contribuir para com o monitoramento de focos de calor em áreas de relevância e vulnerabilidade ambiental.

Por que falar em inclusão no Ensino de Ciências? Para responder a essa pergunta, desenvolvemos este estudo que buscou identificar os trabalhos sobre inclusão publicados nas atas do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (Enpec), na última década (2011-2021). Ademais, analisamos e refletimos sobre as produções encontradas que discutem o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH). O Enpec é o principal congresso científico da área de Ensino de Ciências Naturais, no Brasil, constituindo-se como importante fonte de pesquisa na área. Para esta pesquisa, desenvolvemos uma revisão bibliográfica das seis últimas edições do Enpec: 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 e 2021. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que o tema inclusão carece de pesquisas, nas atas analisadas, posto que, em 10 anos (subdivididos em seis edições), foram encontrados 30 trabalhos que tratam da temática inclusão, no ensino de Ciências. Foi percebido, ainda, que existe apenas um trabalho publicado sobre TDAH. Diante do número reduzido de produções encontradas, este texto sinaliza a necessidade de grupos de pesquisa ampliarem as discussões no ensino de Ciências, para a temática Inclusão, especialmente no que se refere ao TDAH, dada a sua relevância para o processo formativo de estudantes que apresentam necessidades específicas.

A prevalência de sífilis foi de 3,0%. A presença de comportamentos de risco entre universitários aumenta a sua vulnerabilidade à aquisição de sífilis.
How It Works 1: Maintaining Breast/Chestfeeding, Optimising Practice and Support – Part 2
Authors: Elliott Claire
Published: October 2023

Claire Elliott writes the second part of her article in this series. In order to maintain breastfeeding, healthcare professionals must ensure their knowledge is up-to-date and in line with the requirements of the feeding family to support their long-term feeding goals. All too often, breast/chestfeeding is adequately established, yet maintaining breastfeeding becomes difficult due to inadequate support in the postnatal period, open to misinformation due to limited knowledge and training, the well meant but misinformed advice from the wider family network and lack of access to good quality accessible services. It is well documented that postnatal care is referred to as the ‘poor relation’ of ongoing maternity care and feeding support can rapidly drop off during this time. Here we review physiology, best practice and troubleshoot common problems in maintaining feeding. Read the final part of this article here.
Supporting Autonomous Birthing Beyond Guidelines
Authors: Blackwell Elli
Published: October 2023

Women and birthing people at low risk of complications are free to choose how, where and when to give birth in NHS services. However, women who do not fit into this category that want to choose beyond what is recommended will receive care ‘outside of guidance’ (OOG). This includes women with identified complexities requesting to birth at home or in midwife-led units. For women with low-risk and uncomplicated pregnancies, birth is deemed to be safe, and midwife- led settings are recommended. However, those experiencing a high-risk pregnancy who wish to give birth in these settings would be ‘outside’ of clinical guidelines. This article discusses the importance of supporting birth choices OOG and how best student midwives can advocate for personalised care.

Fear. It is one of the most gripping and visceral of human emotions. But what place, if any, does fear have within maternity care? As a first-year student midwife, fear appears to be an overwhelming theme, splashed across newspaper headlines and hotly debated in lectures halls. This article aims to critically discuss sources of this fear, amongst users of maternity services and within the midwifery profession itself – and look to some of the solutions to overcome it. Professional midwifery stands at a crossroads, with global goals driving improvements in practice, while the complex challenge of fear threatens to cripple progress if not responded to with hope.
An Attempt to Assess the Indications for Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Based on Biomechanical Analysis
Authors: Porwoł Anna , Sobota Grzegorz , Bereza Przemysław , Marszałek Wojciech , Kusz Damian
Published: October 2023

Background. Starting from the 1950s, shoulder arthroplasty has been developing, one consequence of which has been the concept of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Initially, it was supposed to be used only in patients with irreversible rotator cuff damage, but it quickly gained more and more indications for use. The aim of the present study was to assess biomechanical, objective indications for RSA in patients with shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) based on an inertial measurement system with electromyography.Material and methods. 20 patients were qualified to this prospective study, 10 each in a control and experimental group. The study was conducted between August 2020 and October 2021. The experimental group consisted of 9 women and 1 man aged 55 to 85 years old, with osteoarthritis of the shoulder associated with rotator cuff damage. The study utilised the myoMotion inertial sensor system (Noraxon, USA) synchronized with the surface electromyography system Myotrace 400 (Noraxon, USA).Results. Movement phase diagrams were used to assess the movement patterns. To examine the movement pattern in the shoulder, three motor tests can be proposed: flexion-extension, flexion in the scapular plane and abduction-adduction. The observation of trends for the operated limb showed the highest absolute improvement in the group with the greatest impairment of the movement pattern in the initial test. However, on final evaluation, these results were still twice as low as those obtained in the group with the least impairment.Conclusions. 1. Early qualification of patients with shoulder OA for RSA could mean a greater likelihood of functional and quality-of-life improvement. 2. Movement patterns after RSA may improve, but will probably not return to physiological values.

A legislação brasileira cumpre papel fundamental na proteção da fauna e na manutenção da biodiversidade. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho buscou investigar do ponto de vista histórico a proteção legal da fauna no Brasil, com foco no semiárido brasileiro. Este estudo vai desde os primeiros trâmites jurídicos que tratam do controle da depleção de fauna silvestre no Brasil que remontam ao ano de 1521, através das Ordenações Manuelinas, regime de leis provenientes da Coroa Portuguesa nos primórdios do período colonial brasileiro, até a publicação do Decreto n° 6.040/07, que instituiu a Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Sustentável dos Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais. Desde que atendidos os critérios legais, as comunidades tradicionais podem ter seus direitos à caça garantidos. É importante entender a realidade social das comunidades tradicionais do semiárido nordestino, a situação de miséria e a exclusão social que persiste ainda em vários grupos humanos, e a importância da fauna para a subsistência dessas comunidades.

Published: October 2023

The importance of power system operation is becoming increasingly significant due to the escalating demand observed in many nations. The exponential growth in load demand exerts substantial stress on electrical power systems, since they run in close proximity to their critical thresholds due to limitations imposed by environmental and economic factors. The basic goal of operating electrical power networks is to efficiently supply energy to users at optimal frequency and voltage levels, with a focus on cost minimization.
 The main objective of this study is to examine the augmentation of voltage stability margin by deploying Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) at their ideal positions.  In order to determine the most efficient size of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), it is necessary to explore the relationship between the loading factor and the capacity of the STATCOM. The case study utilized the Iraqi National Super Grid System (INSGS), which consisted of a 24-bus configuration.
The effectiveness of the CPF technique has been assessed in the framework of the Iraqi Super Grid test System. The appropriate place for attaching STATCOM to enhance voltage stability in the Iraqi network system was identified to be Bus (20).
