Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a construção da identidade linguística do sujeito imigrante haitiano no contexto universitário da Universidade Federal de Rondônia – Campus José Ribeiro Filho, com uma abordagem focada na educação inclusiva e interculturalidade. A pesquisa utiliza a metodologia da revisão bibliográfica, fundamentada nas obras de Rajagopalan (2003), Hall (2006), Guilherme (2012), Scheyerl (2012) e Candau (2018), para uma análise qualitativa das dinâmicas envolvidas. A investigação busca entender como a identidade linguística dos imigrantes haitianos é moldada e experienciada dentro do ambiente acadêmico, e como a Política Linguística da universidade pode influenciar esse processo. O estudo ressalta a necessidade de uma abordagem educacional que não apenas reconheça, mas valorize a diversidade linguística e cultural dos alunos, promovendo uma educação que seja inclusiva e respeitosa das múltiplas identidades presentes. Os resultados destacam a importância dos materiais didáticos na desconstrução de práticas homogeneizantes e colonizadoras. É fundamental que esses materiais sejam elaborados a partir de uma concepção dialógica e intercultural da língua, promovendo uma aprendizagem que considere as diversas realidades e contextos dos alunos. A inclusão da perspectiva intercultural nos materiais didáticos e na prática pedagógica é essencial para garantir que a educação superior seja um espaço de enriquecimento mútuo e aprendizado profundo. Conclui-se que o papel dos docentes é crucial para a implementação efetiva de uma Política Linguística inclusiva e intercultural. Apesar da UNIR ter formalizado uma Política Linguística, é necessário que essa política vá além do reconhecimento das diferenças e se transforme em uma proposta pedagógica concreta, que valorize e utilize a diversidade linguística e cultural dos alunos como uma riqueza educacional. Uma abordagem educacional que considere os diferentes sujeitos e contextos sociais pode promover um ambiente de ensino mais humano e inclusivo, favorecendo uma melhor integração e aprendizagem para todos.

Published: September 2024

Introdução: A mamanalgesia refere-se ao uso de técnicas não farmacológicas, como o contato pele a pele. A amamentação auxilia na redução da dor em bebês durante procedimentos como a imunização. É verdade que a administração de vacinas pode causar desconforto e ansiedade em algumas crianças. Felizmente, existem várias técnicas para ajudar a minimizar essa angústia, como distração, uso de anestésicos tópicos e técnicas de conforto. É importante equilibrar os benefícios da vacinação com o desconforto temporário que ela pode causar. Objetivo: Entender o contexto da mamanalgesia como intervenção não-farmacológica, e qual a sua contribuição na diminuição ou melhora da dor no momento da imunização em lactentes. Metodologia: O presente estudo terá natureza qualitativa, abrangendo as bases de dados da Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde do Ministério da Saúde (BVS) e da RESEARCH SOCIETY AND DEVELOPMENT (RSD Journal). E os seguintes descritores utilizados: lactentes, dor, imunização, amamentação e intervenções não farmacológicas. Em análise aos critérios de inclusão e das estratégias de busca, foram identificados 23 trabalhos. Os títulos e os resumos foram submetidos à leitura atenta e à análise dos dados. Desses 23 artigos, 13 precisaram ser excluídos por estarem fora do contexto ou terem datas anteriores. Foram selecionados 10 artigos para avaliação e complementação com outros estudos. Resultados e discussões: Observa-se que as vacinas injetáveis são uma das maiores causas de dor, nos primeiros anos de vida e visitas frequentes às unidades de saúde para a realização de vacinação podem agravar o receio, a angústia e o desconforto advindos da dor que sentimos durante a imunização, o que pode influenciar em decisões futuras e contribuir para a adequação da dose de vacinação da família do recém-nascido. Além disso, a importância da participação dos pais durante o procedimento, e indicou que a implementação de diversas técnicas de alívio da dor foi benéfica em crianças de diferentes faixas etárias, contribuindo para orientar os profissionais sobre sua aplicação na prática clínica. Conclusão: Nota-se que, amam analgesia é um tema importante e em constante evolução na área da saúde infantil. Estudos sugerem que a amamentação durante procedimentos dolorosos pode reduzir significativamente a dor e o estresse nos bebês, oferecendo uma opção não farmacológica segura e eficaz. Ademais, o contato físico e o apoio emocional fornecidos pela mãe durante a mamanalgesia também podem promover uma sensação de calma e bem-estar, ajudando a reduzir a percepção da dor pelo lactente. No entanto, mais pesquisas são necessárias para entender completamente os mecanismos subjacentes e otimizar as práticas clínicas relacionadas à mamanalgesia, e as técnicas não farmacológicas.
Improving prediction of particle size with a novel acoustic bedload monitoring system consisting of phased microphone arrays and accelerometer

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Accurate measurement of bedload transport flux in rivers remains an important issue in hydraulic engineering. Acoustic-based devices provide a promising way to measure the transport rate with established calibration relationships between the signal and bedload particles. We develop a novel acoustic bedload monitoring system with phased microphone arrays (PMA) and accelerometer to localize the particle impact location and to better determine the particle size. Impact experiments with quartz spheres in a flume setting were performed to investigate the dynamic signal response of the PMA monitoring system for varying particle size and impact location. For a similar virtual set-up, the conventional beamforming method was used to determine the source characteristics of the acoustic wave on the scanning plane of the PMA structure. The model provides a calculation of the cross-power matrix of the recorded pressures generated by bedload which localizes the particle impacts on the plate. The results give correlation relationships between the number of signal impulses per particle mass, the amplitude, and the centroid frequency and the bedload grain size. The findings of this study contribute to the measurement of the bedload transport with the PMA system, which helps to localize the bedload impact positions and improves the predictions of particle size.

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Social norms are a key socio-cultural driver of human behaviour and have been identified as a central process in potential social tipping dynamics. They play a central role in governance and thus represent a possible intervention point for collective action problems in the Anthropocene, such as natural resource management. A detailed modelling framework for social norm change is needed to capture the dynamics of human societies and their feedback interactions with the natural environment. To date, resource use models often incorporate social norms in an oversimplified manner, as a robust and detailed coupled social-ecological model, scaling from the local to the global World-Earth scale, is lacking. Here we present a multi-level network framework with a complex contagion process for modelling the dynamics of descriptive and injunctive social norms. The framework is complemented by social groups and their attitudes, which can significantly influence the adoption of social norms. We integrate the modelling concept of norms together with an additional individual social learning component into a model of coupled social-ecological dynamics with a closed feedback loop, implemented in the copan:CORE framework for World–Earth modelling. We find that norms generally bifurcate the behaviour space into two extreme states: one sustainable and one unsustainable. Reaching a sustainable (i.e. safe) state becomes more likely with low thresholds of conforming to sustainable norms, as well as lower consideration rates of own resource harvesting success. Modelling both descriptive and injunctive norms independently and dynamically introduces additional intermediate states, e.g. when there are countervailing norms. The shape of the bifurcation depends on the number of groups and members and thus on the social network topology. Where groups are very inert in changing their attitudes and thus consistently convey the same norm, multiple stable basins for sustainability levels are found. Groups influence the dynamics by facilitating or inhibiting the contagion of sustainable behaviour by communicating their norms. The success of a generic social norm intervention is also found to be highly dependent on the group topology. Our findings suggest that explicitly modelling social norm processes together with social groups enriches the dynamics of social-ecological models and determines safe operating spaces. Consequently, both should be taken into account when representing human behaviour in coupled World–Earth models.

An overview of the studies on resistance to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) on grapevines in Türkiye
Authors: Mermer Doğu Duygu
Published: September 2024

Downy mildew caused by oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is one of the most damaging grapevine diseases. This disease can be found in all parts of the grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) and causes quality and yield losses. Intensive spraying has been done in the vineyards against this disease for many years and the effectiveness of the fungucides used against this disease is gradually decreasing. For this reason, studies on the determination of disease-resistant Vitis species have increased in Türkiye as in the whole world. In this context, 1006 genotypes (59 Vitis vinifera, 47 V. labrusca, 1 V. rotundifolia, 899 interspecific crosses) were evaluated for their resistance to downy mildew disease. 20 genotypes (V. vinifera) among them were tested only under natural infection conditions, while 67 (21 V. vinifera, 34 V. labrusca, and 12 interspecific crosses) were tested both under natural infection and by artificial inoculation. The resistance of 919 genotypes (18 V. vinifera, 13 V. labrusca, 1 V. rotundifolia, 887 interspecific crosses) was determined by artificial inoculation only. In this review, the resistance tests of genotypes performed by different researchers in Türkiye are summarized by considering the inoculation conditions of Vitis spp and the pathogen. The changes in phenolic compounds of different genotypes before and after the disease were also included in the study. At the same time, this study will make important contributions to researchers who will conduct research on resistance to downy mildew in grapevines.
Dynamics of a controlled discrete prey-predator model with Holling type-II functional response
Authors: Min Yanlin , Han Xiaoling , Lei Ceyu
Published: September 2024

This article investigates the complex dynamic behavior of a discrete predator-prey model with Holling type II functional response. Firstly, we discuss the local stability of the system at the equilibrium points. Secondly, we use the central manifold theorem and bifurcation theory to prove that two different types of bifurcations in the system, namely flip bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation. Through numerical simulation, we validate the impact of human control parameters of predators and the degree of predator utilization on system dynamics. The results indicate that studying the predator-prey relationship between species in plateau pastoral areas can help humans better predict the population changes of prey and predator, and have great significance for the protection of ecosystems.

Authors:   Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, Zhurov D.O. , Stars K.V. ,   Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine
Published: September 2024

The article provides data on pathomorphological changes in the kidneys of the black-headed gull (Larus Ridibundus L., 1766) with uric acid diathesis. The material (kidney pieces) was collected from clinically healthy birds removed from their natural habitat using the generally accepted method. Macroscopic and histological studies were carried out in the dissecting room and laboratory of the Department of Pathological Anatomy and Histology of the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. Preparation of histological sections and their staining were carried out according to generally accepted methods. With uric acid diathesis, the black-headed gull's kidneys were enlarged in size with diffusely located foci of urate deposition. Microscopic changes were characterized by the appearance of basophiliceosinophilic cylinders of crystalline and round-oval shape in the urine-forming tubules, collecting ducts and the lumen of the vascular glomeruli. The deposition of uric acid salts led to atrophy of the kidney structures, their necrosis and desquamation. In the parenchyma of the organ, proliferation of connective tissue with the formation of interstitial nephritis was detected.
Health Seeking Behaviour Among Scheduled Tribes in Kappatagiri Hill’s Gadag, Karnataka
Authors: H. P Manjegowda , Devagappanavar Gulappa , Niduvani Lingaraj
Published: September 2024

Background: Tribal groups, who frequently live in isolated and disadvantaged places, have unique patterns of health-seeking that are influenced by their traditional customs and cultural beliefs. One commonality is the dependence on traditional medicine and ceremonies as well as other indigenous healing practices. The community's interconnection is important since decisions are made collectively, which affects the choices people make while seeking health care. One important factor is access to healthcare services; impediments including remote location, inadequate infrastructure, and financial limitations might cause formal healthcare to be delayed or underutilized. Because tribal people are unfamiliar with mainstream healthcare institutions, they may be reluctant to seek medical attention. For this reason, healthcare personnel must be culturally competent. This study was conducted to assess the health seeking behaviour among Schedule tribes (Valmiki Nayaka) of Kappatagiri hills of Gadag District.
Objectives: To explore the health-seeking behaviours among scheduled tribes of Kappatagiri Hill’s.
Methods: A field-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Kappathagiri village, Kadakol, Hosalli, and Murundi villages of Gadag District. A purposive sampling technique was adopted to choose the study participants. A semi-structured, closed-ended questionnaire was used to obtain the data from October to November 2023. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel, and results were expressed in frequency and percentages.
Results: Totally, 119 households were visited, and participants were interviewed. Out of that, one-fourth of the population consults traditional healers, less than 45% prefer home remedies, almost all use traditional medicine, and the majority of the population believes traditional medicine is more effective than modern medicine. Less than 50% of the population faces transportation barriers, and one-fourth faces financial barriers in accessing healthcare services. Half of the population is somewhat satisfied with the healthcare services available to them, and one-fourth of the population opined that they are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with accessing healthcare services.
Conclusion: The majority of the respondents seek traditional medicine. and one-fourth of the population prefers traditional healers when they fall sick, and almost all believe traditional medicine is more effective.

Objective: To determine the relationship between emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and autism awareness levels of paediatric nurses.
Materials and Methods: The study population comprised paediatric nurses. The effect size was calculated based on existing literature, resulting in a value of 0.30 for Cohen's d. The G*Power 3.1.9.7 program was used to estimate the sample size, which was determined to be 82 individuals. The data were collected between January and June 2024 using the Information Form, Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire—Short Form (TEIQue-SF), Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS), and Knowledge about Childhood Autism among Health Workers Questionnaire (KCAHW). The data were analysed using the SPSS 22.0 program, employing descriptive statistics and parametric or non-parametric tests for comparative data.
Findings: The mean age of the study participants was 28.45±4.93 years old. Participants' working years as nurses were 5.93±4.94 years, while their working years as paediatric nurses were 4.24±3.54 years. The total score for the TEIQue-SF was 101.78 ± 14.71, for the TSIS it was 82.61 ± 4.24, and for the KCAHW it was 14.71 ± 4.24. The study revealed that the total and sub-dimension TEIQue-SF score was influenced by gender, education status, and Perception of competence regarding autism spectrum disorder (p<0.05). Worked years as a nurse, working areas with paediatric patients, and experience caring for a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder affected scale sub-dimension scores of TSIS. KCAHW sub-dimension was influenced by education status, and caring for a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder affected sub-dimension scores. (p<0.05). The study found no correlation between the participant's age, number of children, years working as a nurse, years working as a paediatric nurse, mean TEIQue-SF and TSIS scores, and KCAHW total scores.
Conclusion: The study's findings determined that different variables affected paediatric nurses’ emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and autism awareness levels. In this context, the findings obtained on the subject are of great importance for the field of study and also emphasize the need for further research.

Print Media and the Propagation of Christianity in Africa: A Historical View
Authors: C. A. Adeleye, , O. P. Aluko,
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the role of the print media in communicating the gospel to indigenous Africans. Through a historical lens, the study identifies several factors that contributed to the effective use of the print media in the propagation of Christianity across Africa. These factors include the development of orthography for various African languages, the establishment of Western education, the rise of African missionaries, the translation of the Bible into local languages, and the emergence of modern journalism, with a particular focus on Nigeria. The findings reveal that the print media significantly promoted the spread of the gospel by facilitating the contextualisation of Christian teachings, fostering a spirit of ecumenism, advancing Western education, and reinforcing the commitment to fulfilling the Christian mission in Africa. The paper concludes by suggesting that the continued production and distribution of Christian literature such as tracts, magazines, handbills, posters, and further Bible translations into African languages would greatly enhance the ongoing propagation of Christianity throughout the continent.

The study was undertaken to evaluate some heavy metals in beef and pork sold at Okpuno and assess their health risks. Six samples of pork and beef were bought and analysed for three months for heavy metals viz. cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) with the use of atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results generated from the analysed heavy metals were utilised in computing the potential human health risk associated with consuming both types of meat by consumers. The result showed that in pork, Fe, Zn and Pb were highest within the three months with the following mean concentrations 0.22 ± 0.22, 0.16 ± 0.15, and 0.09 ± 0.07mg/kg respectively. Also, Fe (0.30 ± 0.25 mg/kg) and Zn (0.21 ± 0.20 mg/kg) recorded higher concentrations in beef. The estimated daily intakes of all five heavy metals were found to be low when compared to the recommended daily dietary intake. Concerning health risk, the target hazard quotient of the analysed heavy metals ranged from 0.003566 to 0.00000179 and followed the increasing order of Cd > Pb > Cu > Fe > Zn. The target hazard quotient of the five metals poses little threat to human health (THQ<1). The computed carcinogenic risk for Cd (0.0000112) and Pb (0.0000000152) were within the tolerable limit (1 × 10−6 < CR < 1 × 10−4). However, the carcinogenic risk value for Cd in this study indicates that serious health concerns associated with cadmium toxicity may occur over time from the consumption of these meats. Findings from this study revealed that some of the heavy metals were within safety limits for human consumption, hence, intake of these meats (pork and beef) poses no threat to consumers.

The advent of Industry 4.0 has revolutionized manufacturing, integrating advanced technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability. However, the transition to sustainable green manufacturing presents numerous challenges. This paper analyzes these challenges using the Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS). By incorporating expert opinions and fuzzy logic, various obstacles are evaluated and prioritized in the implementation of green manufacturing practices in the context of Industry 4.0. The analysis reveals that market uncertainty in the economic landscape ranks as the top challenge, followed by high costs of implementation, maintenance, security, and integration. Uncertain benefits and trade-offs are also found as significant barriers. Key factors include the need for substantial investments, cybersecurity concerns, integration difficulties, and the complexities of predicting returns on investment. From the study, it is also evident that the impact of Industry 4.0 on supply chains and emissions from Electronics manufacturing is also a critical issue. The study provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders to facilitate the adoption of sustainable green manufacturing practices in the era of Industry 4.0.

Authors: Turner Michelle C , Straif Kurt , Kogevinas Manolis , Schubauer-Berigan Mary K
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: In this discussion paper, we provide a narrative review of past and present occupational cancer studies in the journal with a viewpoint towards future occupational cancer research.

METHOD: We reviewed all references in the journal that mentioned cancer according to relevance to etiology, cancer type, agent type, study design, and study population.

RESULTS: The Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health has published over 300 manuscripts on occupational cancer over the 50 past years. Although studies of cancer represent the primary health outcome in the journal overall, the relative ranking of cancer manuscripts has declined somewhat over time. A large body of evidence from studies of occupation and industry was apparent both in early research and continuing in recent years. There are several examples of the utility of pooled multi-country collaborative studies. Studies also took advantage of available high-quality national population and cancer registers in Nordic countries. There have been notable shifts in focus with regard to the cancer types examined, with increases in publications examining female breast cancer over the decades. The interplay of studies of occupational and environmental cancer has also been apparent.

CONCLUSIONS: The journal offers a unique viewpoint to consider the evolution of occupational cancer evidence over time. Studies of occupational cancer have played a central role in global cancer hazard identification efforts. Although much has been gained, there remains a need for renewed global support for occupational cancer research. Concerted efforts will be needed to ensure a future robust evidence-base for occupational and environmental cancer worldwide.
Instant Pregnancy Loss And Time Of Conception
Authors: Wilcox Allen J
Published: September 2024

Background Implantation of the conceptus is a key step in pregnancy, but little is known about the time of implantation or the relation between the time of implantation and the outcome of pregnancy. Methods We collected daily urine samples for up to six months from 221 women attempting to conceive after ceasing to use contraception. Ovulation was identified on the basis of the ratio of urinary estrogen metabolites to progesterone metabolites, which changes rapidly with luteinization of the ovarian follicle. The time of implantation was defined by the appearance of chorionic gonadotropin in maternal urine. Results There were 199 conceptions, for 95 percent of which (189) we had sufficient data for analysis. Of these 189 pregnancies, 141 (75 percent) lasted at least six weeks past the last menstrual period, and the remaining 48 pregnancies (25 percent) ended in early loss. Among the pregnancies that lasted 6 weeks or more, the first appearance of chorionic gonadotropin occurred 6 to 12 days after ovulation; 118 women (84 percent) had implantation on day 8, 9, or 10. The risk of early pregnancy loss increased with later implantatio n (P<0.001). Among the 102 concep- tuses that implanted by the ninth day, 13 percent ended in early loss. This proportion rose to 26 percent with implantation on day 10, to 52 percent on day 11, and to 82 percent after day 11. Conclusions In most successful human pregnancies, the conceptus implants 8 to 10 days after ovulation. The risk of early pregnancy loss increases with later implantation

Purpose of Review

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive and reversible therapy for the treatment of severe neuropathic pain. There are several biologic complications that can arise during the implantation of SCS systems. This review aims to consolidate recent research on complications associated with SCS, specifically focusing on biologic complications.

Recent Findings

Biologic complications are less frequently encountered compared to device-related complications but may have more severe consequences. Biologic complications covered in this review include infection, seromas, hematomas, dural puncture, nerve/spinal cord injury, and therapy habituation.

Conclusion

The application of SCS remains a viable and effective choice for managing neuropathic pain conditions. It is crucial for physicians to carefully consider potential complications before proceeding with SCS trials and implantation. Familiarity with biologic complications is critical for patient safety and to optimize patient outcomes.

Authors:   Secretariat of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia, Hidayat Fauzan
Published: September 2024

The issue of money politics in Indonesia has severely undermined democratic integrity, affecting equality in political participation, increasing the risk of corruption, creating disparities in political access, influencing public policy-making, and damaging public perceptions of the political system’s credibility. This study aimed to explore how other countries address the challenges of money politics and offered concrete solutions to strengthen democratic integrity. Using a comparative approach, the study examined money politics policies and practices, as well as assessed the effectiveness of anti-corruption and transparency measures in South Korea and Europe. The findings revealed that strict regulations on campaign financing and oversight by independent bodies have effectively mitigated money politics practices in these countries. Consequently, Indonesia is encouraged to adopt a similar approach by establishing an independent oversight body and fostering active public participation to address the challenges of money politics and high political costs, promote equitable political participation, and strengthen democratic integrity.
Beyond the Hype: AI and Productivity in Spanish Firms
Authors: Gómez-Bengoechea Gonzalo , Jung Juan
Published: September 2024

This article explores the relationship between the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and labor productivity. To do that, the article exploits a novel dataset of more than 10,000 Spanish firms through a Structural Equation Model (SEM). The article estimates the moderating and amplifying effects that the combined use of AI and other technologies has in this process. The results confirm that the firms that adopt and use a wider range of AI tools across more functional areas experience higher labor productivity. The complementary use of Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) enhances AI Diffusion within firms. However, this does not translate into labor productivity gains, which suggests that there is still room for AI to unleash its full potential.
