Formação EAD de Pensamento Computacional para Professores do Ensino Fundamental com Enfoque Prático e Interdisciplinar: Um Resumo Estendido
Authors: Nascimento Gustavo Lima do , Madeira Charles Andryê Galvão
Published: July 2024

O mundo globalizado vem, de maneira geral, precisando de profissionais cada vez mais preparados para solucionar problemas de maneira inovadora e empreendedora, envolvendo várias áreas do conhecimento. Essa necessidade tem provocado debates no mundo, sobre qual é a melhor maneira de se constituir uma educação capaz de preparar os cidadãos para atuarem nesse contexto. Um dos temas destacados nesses debates é o Pensamento Computacional. O modelo educacional brasileiro, em linhas gerais, se mostra incapaz de formar esse tipo de profissional. Os educadores da atualidade, que são os responsáveis por garantir esse tipo de formação, não foram formados nessa perspectiva e, portanto, não têm vivenciado práticas inovadoras com o Pensamento Computacional que permitam estimular a capacidade de resolução de problemas nos seus educandos. Nesse contexto se insere o Programa Norte-rio-grandense de Pensamento Computacional, que tem ajudado a mudar essa realidade ofertando cursos de formação continuada para educadores, em formatos presencial e remoto, com foco na práxis pedagógica, na aprendizagem ativa e na interdisciplinaridade. Mas diante das dimensões de um país como o Brasil e da urgente necessidade de formação docente em Pensamento Computacional, é necessário o aprimoramento dos cursos ofertados, visando levar esse tipo de formação para um número muito maior de educadores. Essa necessidade levanta o seguinte problema: como projetar uma formação de Pensamento Computacional, com foco na práxis pedagógica, na aprendizagem ativa e na interdisciplinaridade, a fim de proporcionar a transposição didática do conhecimento para um número muito maior de educadores? Em busca de uma solução para esse problema, a presente pesquisa visa aprimorar o modelo dos cursos de formação docente do Programa Norte-rio-grandense de Pensamento Computacional, com o objetivo de validar um modelo de curso em formato EaD, ampliando a oferta de vagas. Para isso, foi feita uma revisão de literatura e uma análise de cursos existentes no contexto brasileiro que permitiram reunir as informações necessárias para a construção de uma nova proposta de curso. Essa nova proposta foi ofertada no ambiente Moodle, atendendo a aproximadamente 200 cursistas oriundos de 15 estados brasileiros, formados em diversas áreas do conhecimento. Ao longo do curso, foi observada uma boa evolução de grande parte dos cursistas no que consiste à aquisição de habilidades de Pensamento Computacional, uma vez que eles produziram diversos objetos de aprendizagem adaptados à sua área de atuação e, consequentemente, à realidade da sua sala de aula. Com esses resultados, o novo modelo de formação EaD se mostra como um impulsionador do Programa Norte-rio-grandense de Pensamento Computacional, sendo capaz de levar a formação para um número muito maior de educadores, ao mesmo tempo que mantém a qualidade do trabalho que já vinha sendo feito nos outros formatos de curso.

Vor der Erweiterung der Europäischen Union: Vom Weißbuch der Europäischen Kommission zu einer effizienteren Arbeitsweise und flexibleren Architektur
Authors: Calliess Christian
Published: July 2024

Enlargement is back on the European agenda. But without a reform of the European Union (EU) it may lead to an ‘overstretch’ and as a consequence to disintegration. Nonetheless, tackling the ongoing European ‘polycrisis’ by adequate reforms has been and still is complicated. An EU that has become more diverse by enlargement is being expected to deepen in areas that are highly sensitive domestically. With reference to the scenarios presented in the European Commission's White Paper on the Future of Europe from 2017, the author argues for a more flexible working method of the EU. It should be based on more efficiency by among others focusing on political priorities, extending qualified majority voting, implementing a new concept of cooperative enforcement and applying a common concept of subsidiarity, including „better regulation”. Where no consensus can be reached among Member States greater flexibility and – in the long run – a new architecture of the EU should allow for pioneer groups to move ahead and to lead by positive example.
Kann die Europäische Union im globalen Steuerwettbewerb um Investitionen bestehen? Bestandsaufnahme und Handlungsempfehlungen
Authors: Heckemeyer Jost H.
Published: July 2024

In recent years, the European Union has dedicated itself with great vehemence to the fight against international tax avoidance. The result of this policy is the restriction of tax structuring leeway while at the same time significantly increasing tax complexity, double taxation risks and potential legal uncertainty for companies in the European single market. Tax frictions in the EU therefore continue to exist, while international tax competition is likely to focus increasingly on the real economic activity and substance of companies in the face of declining scope for tax structuring and fundamental changes to the global tax system. This article structures these considerations and makes recommendations for an EU tax policy that meets the current challenges.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Corticophobia constitutes a complex challenge affecting patients and healthcare professionals alike, resulting in suboptimal management and treatment of dermatological conditions. Objective: This study aims to investigate corticophobia among physicians in Saudi Arabia and identify associated factors. Methodology: This is a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study that included 700 participants. The sample constituted dermatologists, pediatricians, and family medicine practitioners at different levels (consultants, fellows, and residents) in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected via an electronic survey addressing demographic information and corticophobia-related questions. Statistical analysis was performed using Rstudio. Results: A total of 700 participants were included in the data analysis. Dermatologists were the most comfortable prescribing steroids (32%), followed by family medicine physicians (25%), and pediatricians (18%). Pediatricians were the most hesitant to prescribe steroids. Fellows were the most confident in prescribing steroids. Physicians from the northern and western regions were least likely to be hesitant in prescribing steroids. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study reveals that in Saudi Arabia, dermatologists were the most comfortable prescribing topical corticosteroids, with pediatricians being the most hesitant. The findings emphasize the importance of education in addressing corticophobia among healthcare professionals, which could improve treatment adherence and patient outcomes. Further research and targeted educational interventions are necessary to enhance understanding and confidence in prescribing topical corticosteroids among healthcare professionals.

Introduction: Data regarding quality of life (QoL) of oncologic patients experiencing dermatologic immune-related adverse events (dirAEs)and their course after dermatologic intervention are scarce. Objectives To assess the impact of dirAEs on patients' QoL and to investigate the correlation between dermatologic and oncologic indexes used for estimating QoL. Methods We enrolled oncologic patients with dirAEs managed in two supportive oncodermatology outpatient clinics in Greece. Patient-reported outcomes included DLQI, EORTC-QLQ-C30 and Numerical Rating Scale for pruritus (pNRS). Results Overall, 110 patients were enrolled in the study. Mean(SD) DLQI and pNRS scores were 15.54 (5.44) and7.25 (2.95), correspondingly, while functional, symptom and summary scores of EORTC-C30 were 79.17 (2.11), 17.66 (3.60) and 80.67 (3.08), respectively. After therapeutic interventions, there was a statistically significant decrease in DLQI scores after1st intervention compared to baseline, and 2nd intervention compared to 1st [mean (SD) decrease 4.38 (2.91), p<0.001 and 5.16 (3.99), p<0.001, respectively]. DLQI showed no correlation with global health status/QoLs (rho 0.01, p=0.90) of EORTC-C30. Conclusions dirAEs negatively affect QoL. Dermatologic intervention improves patients’ QoL, facilitating an unimpaired oncologic treatment. Poor correlation between DLQI and EORTC-QLQ-30 highlights the need for adapted QoL measurement tools in the context of ICIs treatment.
Prevalence of CDKN2A, CDK4, POT1, BAP1, MITF, ATM, and TERT Pathogenic Variants in a Single-Center Retrospective Series of Patients With Melanoma and Personal or Family History Suggestive of Genetic Predisposition
Authors: Ferrara Giada , Paiella Salvatore , Settanni Giulio , Frizziero Melissa , Rosina Paolo , Viassolo Valeria
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Approximately 20%-45% of familial melanoma (FM) cases are associated with genetic predisposition. Objectives: This single-center retrospective study aimed to assess the frequency of pathogenic variants (PV) in the main melanoma-predisposing genes in patients with cutaneous melanoma and investigate the clinical predictors of genetic predisposition. Methods: Patients included were those diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma at the Dermatology Unit of the University Hospital, Verona, Italy, from 2000 to 2022, presenting at least one of the following: multiple melanomas (≥3); personal/family history of pancreatic cancer (PC) (up to second-degree relatives); ≥2 first-degree relatives with melanoma; ≥1 first-degree relatives with early onset (<45 years) melanoma and tested for CDKN2A, CDK4, POT1, BAP1, MITF, ATM, and TERT. Results: During the study period, 35 out of 1,320 patients (2.7%) underwent genetic testing. Four patients (11.4%) harbored a PV in a melanoma-predisposing gene, 3 in CDKN2A (8.6%), and 1 in MITF (2.9%). Variants currently classified as being of unknown clinical significance (VUS) were detected in CDKN2A (n=1), MITF (n=1), and ATM (n=2). Family history of PC and ≥5 melanomas, personal history of ≥50 nevi, and ≥4 melanomas were significantly associated with PV in tested genes (P<0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of PV in predisposing genes in FM was lower than previously reported in Italian registries. Possible reasons include deleterious variants in untested intermediate-/low-penetrance genes or yet-to-be-discovered high-penetrance genes and environmental risk factors. A family history of PC, a high number of nevi and melanomas predict a monogenic predisposition to melanoma.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Chronic wounds lower health-related quality of life, as they affect various aspects of life due to pain, odor, tedious treatment, and stigma from society. Implementing proper treatment, where patient is well informed and active is a key for best outcomes. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate health-related quality of life among the patients with chronic ulcers, with the use of new scale Gdansk Wound QoL. Methods: We enrolled 108 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Before the education on day 0 patients were asked to fill in Gdansk Wound-QoL questionnaire, that was developed in cooperation between dermatologists, general and plastic surgeons, as well as wound nurses, as well as fill the follow-up Gdansk Would-QoL on day 30, which was also the end of the study.  Results:  Study participants (n = 108) were on average 76.1 ± 10.8 years and all of whom had a venous ulcer on their lower limbs of average wound area of 10.8 cm2. Quality of life, according to the Gdansk Wound-QoL Questionnaire, increased on average by 36.7% after 30 days trial. Moreover, on the follow-up visit 94.4% of the patients stated that their knowledge on the disease has increased and everyone was satisfied with the course of treatment proposed by the current doctor. Furthermore, 44.4% of the study group increased their activity at the end of the study. Conclusion: This pilot descriptive observational study shows that Gdansk Wound-QoL questionnaire can provide professionals in wound care good feedback on health-related quality of life of patients with chronic wounds. This information has the potential to enhance patients’ well-being and overall comfort”
Noninvasive Assessment and Management of Folliculitis Decalvans by Trichoscopy and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy
Authors: Piscazzi Francesco , Franceschini Chiara , Narcisi Alessandra , Valenti Mario , Rossi Alfredo , Ardigò Marco
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a rare scarring alopecia mainly affecting middle-aged men, characterized by recurring episodes of follicular pustules, crusts, erythema, tufted hairs, and scars. Objectives: This study investigates the effectiveness of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) compared to trichoscopy for diagnosing and monitoring FD. Methods: The study involved 24 Caucasian patients diagnosed with FD. Patients were examined using trichoscopy and reflectance confocal miscroscopy (RCM), with a focus on specific features like erythema and inflammatory cell distribution. A subgroup of 16 patients was followed up after 3 months of therapy. The reproducibility of RCM and trichoscopy was assessed using Cohen Kappa Test. Results: RCM and trichoscopy consistently detected features such as tufted hairs, pustules, and perifollicular fibrosis. However, RCM provided more detailed insights into inflammatory activity and types of fibrosis, often overlooked by trichoscopy. It showed a reduction in vessels and inflammatory cells, which trichoscopy failed to detect. The concordance between RCM evaluations was excellent, indicating high reproducibility. Conclusions: RCM is effective in diagnosing and monitoring FD, offering detailed insights into inflammation and fibrosis. It complements trichoscopy, especially in aspects where trichoscopy is limited, such as precise measurement of inflammation. The study suggests that combining RCM with trichoscopy could enhance the accuracy of diagnosis and monitoring of FD, leading to tailored therapeutic approaches. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longitudinal designs are recommended to confirm these findings.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Palmoplantar psoriasis is a rare variant of psoriasis. Its impact on quality of life have been poorly investigated. Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of localized palmoplantar psoriasis (PPP), to assess its severity using the modified-Palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (m-PPPASI), and to evaluate the correlation with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Methods: We conducted a descriptive study with prospective data-collection from January to June 2021. We enrolled 223 patients with psoriasis. We excluded patients without palmar/plantar involvement, and those with a body surface area (BSA) greater than or equal to 10%. Results: We included 33 patients with PPP. This corresponded to a 14.8% prevalence among all psoriasis phenotypes. The mean age was 45 years. The male to female ratio was 2.3. Pruritus was present in 27 cases. The mean m-PPPASI was 11.77. The mean DLQI was 8.33. A significant correlation was found between DLQI and m-PPPASI: Mean DLQI scores for patients with m-PPPASI less than or equal to 10 and m-PPPASI greater than 10 were 5.6 and 11.3, respectively (p=0.002). Only 11.8% of patients with m-PPPASI less than or equal to 10 had a DLQI greater than 10, whereas 50% of those with m-PPPASI greater than 10 had a DLQI greater than 10 (p=0.026). Conclusions: Based on the present work, we confirm that, although affecting a reduced BSA, PPP is a severe form of psoriasis. We consider the m-PPPASI to be a reliable tool which can be used to assess the severity of PPP.
Diversifying the Dialogue
Authors: Kalmanson Leah ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

This essay distinguishes between diversity in the content we teach and diversity in the methodologies we use to practice our discipline and transmit it to students. Of all philosophical methods, dialogue is core to our disciplinary identity. However, dialogues rarely stand on their own; they are vehicles for larger philosophical projects. As Pierre Hadot argues, dialogues for early Greeks constituted “spiritual exercises” guiding practitioners toward metaphysical realities beyond ordinary perception. Dialogues in Buddhism, Jainism, and Confucianism convey similar spiritual dimensions. To incorporate these dimensions into the classroom presents a choice: We can take the content of the dialogue and reconstruct it in a deductive argument, i.e., using it as fodder for teaching critical thinking as we normally teach it. This would diversify content without thereby altering disciplinary methods. Or, we can develop pedagogical tools for the dialogical form that consider historical and cultural context as well as contemporary spiritual relevance.

Published: July 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Asian economies between 1990 and 2019, with a specific focus on their relationship with net official development assistance (NODA) and external debt. Utilizing the IPAT model as a theoretical framework, we employ various econometric methodologies to estimate both long-term and short-term outcomes. These methodologies encompass panel unit-root tests, cointegration techniques, and the VECM method. The findings of the research provide additional substantiation for the presence of cointegration among all variables. The analysis of long-term data revealed a robust and statistically significant relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Conversely, a strong and inverse connection was identified between foreign debt and net official development assistance (NODA). The results indicated a modest but favorable relationship between the size of the Asian population and the levels of CO2 emissions. The segment of recommendations encompasses comprehensive proposals and an extensive examination of various alternatives.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to determine the extent to which 1) the Sapta Pesona concept and 2) CBT are applied in the management of the Alas Kedaton tourist attraction. Sapta Pesona Wisata is a value concept that was born and popularized by the former Minister of Tourism and Post and the New Order era, Soesilo Soedarman (1988-1993). Sapta Pesona Wisata which consists of security, cleanliness, order, coolness, beauty, hospitality, and providing memorable memories for tourists so that when tourists visit tourist attractions they get what they expected before visiting the tourist attractions. Meanwhile, the involvement of local communities in the management of a tourist attraction, known as CBT, is a basic element of tourism that places the community as an important factor in managing tourist attractions. Local communities have an important role in managing and developing these tourist attractions so that they remain sustainable. This research is qualitative research where data is obtained through interviews with management, library studies, observation, and documentation. All data obtained was collected then data reduction was carried out and a table was created and concluded. This research shows that the Sapta Pesona concept has been implemented and so has the CBT concept, but several aspects need to be strengthened so that the Alas Kedaton tourist attraction can provide maximum benefits for the local community.

Authors: Wajdi Majid , Asrumi Asrumi
Published: July 2024

The year 2024 marks a crucial moment for Indonesia as the nation prepares for its five-yearly general election to elect a new president. At the forefront of this electoral process is the distinctive slogan “LUBER,” representing the principles of Langsung (Direct), Umum (Public), Bebas (Free), and Rahasia (Secret). This study seeks to explore into the form, function, and meaning of the “LUBER” slogan, aiming to unravel its significance in the socio-political landscape of Indonesia. The primary purpose of this research is to dissect the “LUBER” slogan, examining its linguistic and rhetorical features, its intended functions within the electoral context, and the underlying meanings it conveys to the Indonesian electorate. By undertaking this analysis, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the slogan operates as a discourse tool in shaping public perception and participation in the upcoming general election. The study employs a two-fold methodological approach, incorporating document study and critical discourse analysis (CDA). Document study involves a comprehensive review of official election materials, speeches, and campaign documents, while CDA focuses on dissecting the language, rhetoric, and discursive strategies employed in the “LUBER” slogan. The analysis reveals that the “LUBER” slogan strategically combines linguistic elements to convey a message of transparency, inclusivity, freedom, and confidentiality in the electoral process. Through CDA, we uncover how the slogan operates as a powerful discourse tool, influencing public opinion and fostering a sense of civic responsibility. Additionally, the study identifies subtle nuances in the language used, shedding light on the socio-political implications of the “LUBER” slogan.In conclusion, the “LUBER” slogan serves as a multifaceted discourse tool in Indonesia’s 2024 general election, embodying the principles of transparency and democratic values. The linguistic and rhetorical features of the slogan play a pivotal role in shaping public perception and encouraging active civic participation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of political discourse in shaping electoral processes and underscores the importance of linguistic analysis in decoding the complexities of political communication.
Ouro Preto, Cidade de Metamorfose Poética: o Caso de Raimundo Correia
Authors: Toledo Matheus Coelho
Published: July 2024

O artigo se interessa em compreender como temas e o cenário de Ouro Preto foram incorporados à obra poética de Raimundo Correia; graças aos ideais inconfidentes recuperados no momento de implantação da República e também influentes na Abolição; assim como as vivências de Raimundo na cidade mineira entre os anos de 1892-1897. Temas como a Inconfidência Mineira, as amizades em Ouro Preto e uma guinada do Parnasianismo ao Simbolismo; que coincidiram com o período de apogeu artístico do poeta, mas também com o silêncio de sua voz poética; são abordados.
Estudo comparativo da concordância nominal variável entre o PB contemporâneo e o português dos séculos XVIII e XVII
Authors: Sousa Camila
Published: July 2024

A Linguística Histórica “procura investigar e descrever a maneira pela qual as línguas mudam ou mantêm suas estruturas com o passar do tempo” (BYNON, 1977, p. 1). Tendo em vista que toda língua sofre variação e mudança linguísticas, e que o fenômeno da concordância nominal variável não é uma criação do Português Brasileiro (PB) contemporâneo teve-se por objetivo geral estudar a concordância nominal variável (CNV) no PB, mais especificamente, investigar e comparar a “flutuação” dessa variação no português dos séculos XVIII e XVII e no PB contemporâneo. A pesquisa consistiu na análise de estruturas pretéritas extraídas de corpus de pesquisa de Mendes (2008) e Moraes de Castilho (2009), para o português dos séculos XVIII e XVII, respectivamente, e, para o atual, o corpus é constituído por dados extraídos das redes sociais (Facebook; Instagram e WhatsApp) e sites. A partir das análises pudemos evidenciar que o fenômeno da CNV esteve presente no português dos séculos XVIII e XVII e está presente no português atual. Observamos que os dados do século XVIII e do PB contemporâneo apontam para o mesmo tipo de ocorrência: marca de plural nos elementos à esquerda do NSN (núcleo do sintagma nominal) e núcleo no singular e os dados do século XVII tem sua maior ocorrência mostrando a marca de plural no NSN e os elementos à direita deste no singular.
Entre história, ficção e intertextualidade
Authors: Muniz Ribeiro Luciana , Soares López Camila
Published: July 2024

Em Sede (2021), romance de Amélie Nothomb, Jesus narra seus últimos dias na Terra como alguém que partilha de sensações e sentimentos humanos, mas que também é dotado de poderes sobre-humanos. Esse conjunto de atributos nos possibilitou abarcar essa personagem por um viés tanto histórico quanto ficcional, aproximando, portanto, essas vertentes. Historicamente, entrevemos um indivíduo que viveu na Galileia, por muitos seguido, e posteriormente condenado à morte. Quanto à ficcionalidade, as citações anacrônicas da personagem nos despertaram o interesse por uma análise que possibilitasse compreender os entrelaçamentos e diálogos entre tais intertextos e a narrativa principal. Assim, selecionamos três exemplos intertextuais, os quais classificamos em três eixos: literário, religioso e filosófico. Estudar a intertextualidade por esse romance nos possibilitou vislumbrar aproximações entre a história e a ficção que circundam uma personagem milenar como Jesus, fazendo-nos compreender a possibilidade de se reescrever o passado em um presente em permanente mudança e (re)construção.

This research examines the legal implications of deep seabed mining on blue economy sustainability. Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, has enormous marine potential that needs to be managed with a blue economy approach to support sustainable economic growth and community welfare. This research uses a normative legal method with a statutory approach to analyze various related regulations. The results show that deep seabed mining can make a significant contribution to the economy, especially through the extraction of minerals such as nickel, copper and cobalt. However, this activity also poses serious environmental risks, including damage to marine ecosystems and increased carbon emissions that impact climate change. Therefore, a comprehensive and sustainable regulatory framework is needed, integrating blue economy and precautionary principles to ensure that the exploitation of deep-sea resources is carried out responsibly and sustainably.
