A infância é um período de construção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis, sendo uma fase decisiva para o estabelecimento desses. Nesse período podem surgir comportamentos alimentares inadequados, levando a um problema caso não haja intervenções corretas. A Educação Alimentar e Nutricional (EAN) é uma ferramenta que pode melhorar os hábitos alimentares da população. Nesse sentido, as instituições escolares e a família, exercem grande influência nos hábitos alimentares das crianças. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o comportamento alimentar e realizar a EAN em crianças pré-escolares, correspondentes a idade de 5 a 6 anos, para estimular o desenvolvimento de uma alimentação saudável. Ocorreu a aplicação de três questionários aos responsáveis sobre seus dados pessoais, comportamento alimentar e saúde da criança sendo o segundo, adaptado e traduzido. A partir disso, houve a avaliação do estado nutricional em dois momentos, com base na antropometria, contendo as seguintes aferições: peso; altura/comprimento, posteriormente foram formados os indicadores nutricionais estatura/idade (E/I), peso/idade (P/I), índice de massa corporal por idade (IMC/I). Foram elaboradas e realizadas ações de EAN para as crianças com a abordagem de uma alimentação saudável e seus benefícios. Dos resultados antropométricos apenas o índice E/I se mostrou significante (p< 0,002), para a associação das variáveis relacionadas à saúde da criança e ao comportamento alimentar não houve significância. As crianças apresentaram comportamento alimentar considerado de risco mesmo quando não demonstram fatores para tal. A partir desse estudo ficou evidente a complexidade do comportamento alimentar. Em suma, as estratégias promotoras de uma alimentação saudável possuem um poder de interferir positivamente no comportamento alimentar.

Published: September 2023

College students' mental health is often neglected, which may have serious consequences for their success in academic records. Mental health issues among college students may have far-reaching consequences for both the campus and the students themselves. General counselling, student management systems, and human advisers are just some of the ineffective approaches that institutions are using to track and avoid student stress. Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Decision Tree are just a few examples of the Machine Learning Algorithms used by the proposed system to determine whether or not a student is experiencing stress and, if student is in stress, the system provide solution for relieving that stress.

Authors: Chisulo AC , Lambwe N , Sijumbila G , Mukosha M
Published: September 2023

In Zambia, essential hypertension is one of the commonest and prevalent  non-communicable diseases. In the current medical literature it is not  clear on the serum selenium levels among essential hypertensive patients in Zambia despite evidence in literature of its role in development of hypertension. The present study investigated serum selenium levels in essential hypertensive adults. We hypothesized that serum selenium levels were significantly lower in this population and was a risk factor for developing hypertension. An analytical cross-sectional design was applied to a total of 245 participants. Blood was collected for serum levels of Selenium, glucose, urea, creatinine and electrolytes. Student t-test was used to compare the serum selenium levels between  hypertensive and normotensive participants. Significant (p<0.0001) lower levels of serum Selenium were observed in essential hypertensive adults (0.093mg/L ± 0.048)than in healthy normotensive adults (0.109mg/L ± 0.047). Regressionresults showed no significant relationship off Selenium levels with age (p=0.255), BMI (p-0.232), systolic blood pressure  (p=0.175) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.195).From these findings  serum selenium levels may not be a risk factor for essential hypertension in this population. Nevertheless, more studies in the same geographical area are needed to confirm this.

Published: September 2023

Background: The effectiveness of available antibiotics is reducing as  microorganisms device means of evading its effects, resulting in the development of superbugs. Pathogens previously susceptible are becoming resistant, and spreading beyond the hospital environment. This change is a major concern for infection control and prevention and a huge economic burden for health care. This study aims to determine the drug sensitivity pattern of E. coli isolated in a tertiary hospital labMethodology: Gram negative bacilli, lactose fermenter, motile, indole positive,  glucose fermenter, gas producing isolate were identified as E.coli. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to commonly prescribed antibiotics was carried out using the modified Kirby Bauer method and reported with the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute Interpretative chart. Mulitiple Antibiotic Resistance index was calculated as number of antibiotics to which isolate is resistant divided by the total number of antibiotics against which isolate was tested.Result: Five hundred and twenty–seven isolates were identified, among which a high rate of resistance to cefuroxime (407), high rate of intermediate susceptibility to nalidixic acid (264) and high rate of sensitivity to ceftriaxone (388) was noted. Sixty percent of the isolates had an index 0.2. Of the 40% with Multiple Antibiotic Resistance index > 0.2, 61 % were from inpatient samples.Conclusion: The high Multiple Antibiotic Resistance index of the E. coli isolates indicates previous exposure to antibiotics and development of resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics, hence, antimicrobial susceptibility testing is imperative in selecting therapeutic options. Attention also needs be paid to effective infection control and prevention to curb its spread among individuals.

Published: September 2023

During 2014 - 2018, cable companies in Indonesia showed an 8.52% average annual revenue growth. Unfortunately, analysts are responding to this growth negatively. Hence, In this study, we will conduct a valuation of six cable companies in Indonesia that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). We evaluate using two methods, namely Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) to get the Intrinsic Value of shares, Relative Valuation using Price to Book Value ( PBV), and Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) to validate the intrinsic value. The valuation results consider three scenarios: optimistic, moderate, and pessimistic. In the optimistic scenario, the Intrinsic Value of JECC, KBLI, and VOKS shares are overvalued in all scenarios, while IKBI, KBLM, and SCCO are undervalued throughout the scenario. Validation using PBV for the optimistic scenario, all companies are considered overvalued. For the moderate scenario, the PBV of IKBI, KBLI, and VOKS are overvalued, while JECC, KBLM, and SCCO are undervalued. As for the pessimistic scenario, only the PBV of IKBI is overvalued. Validation using PER for the optimistic scenario, the PER of IKBI, JECC, KBLM, and SCCO are overvalued, while the PER of KBLI and VOKS are undervalued. For the moderate scenarios, the PER of IKBI and SCCO are overvalued, while the PER of JECC, KBLI, KBLM, and VOKS are undervalued. Whereas for the pessimistic scenario, only the PER of IKBI is overvalued, while JECC, KBLI, KBLM, SCCO, and VOKS are undervalued.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to explore listening strategies EFL learners use when completing mock TOEIC listening tests; investigate listening strategies that lead to success in answering the test questions; and find out how differently high-, intermediate-, and low-proficiency learners use listening strategies in four different task types. A total of 23 participants were selected for stimulated recall protocol interviews. Verbal reports from each participant were coded using taxonomy, and each strategy participants used was grouped according to listening task type. The results from the stimulated recall protocol interviews revealed that participants employed identification of words and chunks, hypothesis formation, monitoring against the question, and matching lexis heard to lexis in the question strategies to help them arrive at the answers in the question and response part. Learners with the three levels of proficiency employed similar strategies in their listening test. However, the frequency and quality of the strategies used to help them arrive at their answers were completely different. Learners whose linguistic knowledge was limited struggled to apply listening strategies to solve listening problems, whereas learners whose linguistic knowledge was automatic were able to comprehend the listening passage and apply appropriate strategies synchronously to solve listening problems.

Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the general behaviour of the society regarding leisure and entrainment in social media. The pandemic had huge impact in the world of marketing and communications. Sta9rting from the social distance to the lockdown period, the society converted their actions to access and consume content from the different social media channels. Some marketing practitioners argue that making money is critical right now whereas others strongly believe the opposite. The strength of digital and social media communication in times of crisis has been proven in the past and it has been proven during this pandemic as well. During this pandemic we have witnessed similar communication practices that are adapted by the global companies. It became evident that brands must make tough choices affecting customers and develop the right message through right channel while ensuring the honesty and trust in their campaigns. With the uncertainty of next quarter or even next months, brands have had to adjust their marketing budget drastically. Whatever they have planned in the beginning of 2020 was no longer applicable and it leads to quick and sweet adoption of new realities in their communication strategies. Being transparent, supporting local communities and overall focusing on brand awareness rather than product push have been the common practices amongst brands. In addition to successful communication practices, we have also witnessed common pitfalls such as brands communicating the same message without giving any solutions to their customers when it comes to products or services adoption. This research aim to analyze the digital communication strategies adopted in crisis during pandemic period.
The Effect of Managerial Skills on Internal Service Quality: A Study of City Administrations in Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia, Based on Katz’s Managerial Skills Model and Yaoli’s Internal Service Quality Measures
Authors: Molla Melkamu Kebede
Published: September 2023

Previous studies have yet to identify the managerial skills that significantly impact internal service quality in city administrations, creating a gap in understanding. The current study uses Katz's Managerial Skills Model and Yaoli's Internal Service Quality to identify correlations between managerial skills and Measures to determine practical abilities that affect internal service quality. The survey examines the effectiveness of managerial skills on internal service quality. The research design is a cross-sectional survey with a sample size of 4 municipalities, 196 employees, and 12 managers selected using a multi-stage stratified sampling technique. Three types of managerial skills and seven dimensions of internal service quality measures were considered, in which each of the skill types and sizes was measured with Likert scale self-administered questionnaires. Arithmetic mean, median and factor analysis were used to analyze inter-related Likert scale data, and their performance was compared. The result found that factor analysis is the best method to analyze the collected Likert scale data. Eventually, weighted least square (WLS) estimation was fitted where technical skill (β = 0.31, P < 0.01) and conceptual skill (β =0.3, P_value < 0.01) were found significant and had a positive effect. However, Human skill (β = -0.07, P_value = 0.073) was insignificant at a 5% significance level, meaning technical, managerial skills and human managerial skills significantly positively affect internal service quality; the conceptual managerial skill was insignificant at a 5% significance level. The weighted least square estimation showed better performance concerning R-square, MSE, AIC and BIC values; with the trimmer, the better. Multiple linear regressions and partial and semi-partial correlations were run, and the significance and direction of correlation were equivalent to that of WLS. The study's conclusion highlights that enhancing managerial technical and human skills can improve internal service quality. This improvement can enhance external service quality, employee job satisfaction, and performance.

The study adopted quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, control group research design. Three hundred and eighty (380) secondary school one Biology students from nine schools through the simple random sampling technique were used as the research sample. The control group were instructed employing the lecture method, while the experimental group participated using the inquiry method. Both groups were instructed with same biological concepts in intact classroom for six weeks. Biology Achievement Test (BAT) was administered to collect data for pre-test and post-test. A reliability coefficient of 0.76 was obtained using kuder-Richardson Formula 21. The data collected were analysed using the statistics of mean to answer the research questions and t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study’s findings indicated a significant difference in the scholarly performance of male and female students instructed using discussion and inquiry methods, with the former yielding better results; and a significant difference in the scholarly performance of discussion- and inquiry-based instruction when it came to student gender. In conclusion, both discussion and inquiry methods of teaching help Biology students do better in high school, but the discussion method works better than the inquiry method. Based on these, recommendations were made.
O fundo que nos une: por uma intersubjetividade social em Vilém Flusser
Authors: Dabdab Roberta , Baitello Júnior Norval
Published: September 2023

À partir da hipótese de Vilém Flusser de que vivemos sob um modelo de sociedade que “achata” e encurta” nossa percepção e relação com nosso ecossistema e que vai nos direcionando rumo a uma “miopia social” (nosso termo) ou uma “dissociação do ambiente” questão que sabemos ser central para o autor, partimos do curso “Filosofia e Evolução das Ciências”, ministrado por ele na Politécnica da USP em 1959, quando questiona e critica a maneira como a ciência ocidental moderna se originou e o Humanismo decorrente; fica claro perceber como suas ideias para uma “teoria do conhecimento” demonstradas ali, se mostravam profundamente relevantes e já sinalizadoras para os sintomas apresentados nas correspondências dos anos 70 e 80 (Rodolfo Geiser; Gabriel Borba e Milton Vargas) e, que parece se concretizar de forma plena nos anos 20 do século XXI. Para deixar documentado, em 2019 vivemos e seguimos vivendo uma catástrofe sanitária e fascista de gigantescas proporções e que nos parece claramente decorrente dessa “miopia” ou da falta de compreensão desse “fundo comum de humanidade” (Viveiros de Castro, 2010, p. 20) no qual estamos inseridos junto aos “outros”. A pergunta que o autor propõe, “como incorporar o outro, e como ser incorporado pelo outro, sem que se perca a diferença na identidade?”, provém da Antropofagia de Oswald de Andrade e está presente em seu artigo “Ame o teu outro como a ti próprio” (Flusser, 1982, p.1) precisa ser respondida, e com ela um esclarecimento do que são gestos, modelos, objetos, coisas, outro, pessoas, diálogos, relações. Para Flusser, o gesto que acompanha o modelo da civilização ocidental é o do homo Faber – gesto de informar e engajar (outros, coisas e não coisas): “é um gesto discursivo, emissor para receptor pelo canal da mediação” (Sd-2, cad. 3, p. 67) e o desafio é como não transformar o “receptor/emissor” em objeto ou aparelho ou fetiche. Destacamos aqui a abordagem ecológica flusseriana – sua pedagogia da intersubjetividade (Dabdab & Baitello) - como um caminho democrático e responsável para a compreensão da nossa realidade e construção de uma intersubjetividade social. E pontualmente relacionar os conceitos de Intersubjetividade e Religiosidade de Flusser com os conceitos de Perspectivismo, Multinaturalismo e Humanidade presentes na cultura ameríndia e propostos como uma filosofia por Viveiros de Castro.
A escuta e o tempo em uma unidade de urgência e emergência na perspectiva psicanalítica
Authors: Costa Antonia Mardeijane Albuquerque , Leitão Maria Lourdlayne Santiago , Leite Darla Moreira Carneiro , De Matos Tallys Newton Fernandes
Published: September 2023

A pesquisa aborda a escuta e o tempo no ambiente hospitalar em uma unidade de urgência e emergência e discutindo as peculiaridades e perspectivas de cuidado por um viés da psicanálise.  Trata-se de uma pesquisa teórico-clínico. No que se refere à questão prática, ela é representada por vinhetas clínicas cujo intuito é ilustrar como a vivência da escuta e do tempo no hospital ocorrem de modo concreto. A fundamentação teórica advém de Freud, Lacan e seus comentadores, ao abordar a psicanálise em extensão, o tempo lógico, a função da escuta na psicanálise, os tempos do cuidado, assim como os três tempos do trauma no adoecimento. A presença da psicanálise no hospital não é uma prática recente e inovadora. As discussões sobre a escuta psicológica na urgência e emergência evidenciam a importância de valorizar os aspectos subjetivos dos sujeitos internados, pois na maioria das vezes, o foco da equipe de saúde recai nas questões da doença que incidem no corpo. Então, o sujeito do inconsciente pode verbalizar suas incertezas e expressar seu sofrimento para um outro que esteja disponível a testemunhar, neste caso, para a psicóloga hospitalar.

Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites have been extensively developed to construct fishing vessels. This study reports on the successful development of the Agel Leaf Fibre (ALF)-Epoxy composite reinforced with carbon powder and fabricated using the Vacuum Infusion method.The composites were prepared by varying the carbon powder filler content at volumes of 0%, 10%, and 30%. The fire resistance of the composites was investigated using a burning test according to ASTM D-3014 standards. The morphology of the composites was observed through SEM analysis and analysed using ImageJ software.The research findings reveal that adding 30% carbon powder in the HCP composite reduced the burning rate by 42.624 mm/sec and the time to ignition by 17.33 seconds, indicating improved fire resistance properties. The carbon powder inhibited flame propagation and reduced the combustion rate by 0.49%. The SEM examination confirmed that the fibre porosity decreased, resulting in a denser composite with enhanced fibre-matrix adhesion. Therefore, the implementation of fire-resistant composite materials in fishing vessel construction can be realised.The present study primarily examined the immediate effects of carbon powder additions on the morphology of the composites. However, it is crucial to consider these composites’ long-term stability and durability. Future research should investigate the ageing behaviour, considering environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and UV radiation, to assess their impact on the morphology and flammability resistance of the composites. Additionally, it is essential to acknowledge that other factors, including fibre orientation, fibre length, and matrix properties, can significantly influence the overall performance of the composites.The enhanced flammability resistance of Agel Leaf Fibre-Epoxy composites with carbon powder additions holds significant benefits for fishing boat applications. In marine environments, the risk of fire incidents on fishing boats is high, making materials with good fire resistance highly desirable. Therefore, implementing fire-resistant composite materials in fishing boat construction can be realised to reduce the risk of fire incidents in high-seas fishing vessels.Composites with added carbon powder exhibited smaller flames, slower burning rates, and a lack of significant flame propagation. This suggests that adding carbon powder acts as an oxygen barrier and reduces the availability of fuel within the composite.

The accumulation of sediment in aquatic environments can lead to an increase in flood risk due to raised floodplains and water levels. Electromagnetic modeling techniques, such as Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) resistivity or lithological conductivity contrast, can be utilized to detect changes in the subsurface. In this study, we investigated the use of TDEM in flood hazard mitigation schemes by developing a 1-D forward modeling program for the central loop configuration in an aquatic environment using the Adaptive Born Forward Mapping (ABFM) method. The program was tested in various environmental conditions, i.e., freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater, to determine its response. The objective is to prevent natural disasters, particularly flooding caused by sedimentation. The TDEM models can generate images of sediment thickness, providing a sensitive response in saltwater environments and enabling the detection of changes in depth compared to other aquatic environments. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of TDEM as a valuable tool in flood hazard mitigation schemes.

Excavation and material stockpiling activities in the mining process cause a change in the distribution of forces and stresses in the material. As a result, the material will seek a new equilibrium by releasing the load through a landslide. As part of mitigation, it is necessary to monitor displacements occurring on slopes using high-accuracy devices. Ground-based radar is a technique considered to have good ability to detect displacements in real-time. However, ground-based radar has a weakness in that it cannot detect vertical displacement. One of the emerging technologies that is used for monitoring vertical displacements as LoS displacements is D-InSAR analysis. With the integration of both methods, displacements that occur horizontally and vertically on a slope can be detected properly. In addition, the decrease in rock mass strength due to displacement can be predicted based on numerical analysis using the finite element method. Monitoring was carried out from December 10th, 2021 to April 9th, 2022.  The monitoring results from the beginning to the end of the period showed that the horizontal and vertical displacements that occurred in the low wall area were 1247.34 mm and 292.5 mm, respectively. Correlated with these conditions, the Young’s modulus value of the rock mass decreased between 3% and 35%.

This paper discusses the design, simulation, and realization of a leaky-wave microstrip antenna with multiple slots and defected ground structure (DGS). The leaky-wave microstrip antenna with multiple slots and DGS was designed to operate at 5.925-6,425 GHz for wireless local area network applications (WLANs), with a gain of ≥4dBi. The antenna uses FR-4 epoxy as the substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.6 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The leaky-wave microstrip antenna has dimensions of 45.1 mm × 24.8 mm × 1.6 mm, while the leaky-wave microstrip antenna with multiple slots and DGS has dimensions of 40.6 mm × 25 mm × 1.6 mm. The simulation results showed that adding multiple slots and DGS to the leaky-wave microstrip antenna increased the bandwidth from 280 MHz (5.859–6.139 GHz) to 691 MHz (5.854–6.545 GHz) while the gain increased from 4.47 to 5.04 dBi. Meanwhile, the measurement results showed that the bandwidth parameter increased from 273 MHz (5.877–6.150 GHz) to 684 MHz (5.845–6.529 GHz) and the gain parameter from 4.53 to 5.06 dBi at 6 GHz.
