Published: September 2024

No Brasil, a política de preservação do patrimônio histórico não atende adequadamente às necessidades de preservação, manutenção e recuperação das construções históricas. A concepção de que tudo que é antigo é obsoleto, impacta negativamente na preservação do patrimônio histórico e cultural, na conservação de uma memória coletiva e nas marcas históricas de uma cidade, preocupando vários municípios brasileiros. A revitalização e requalificação de áreas ociosas são entendidas como recuperação e melhoria da qualidade de vida urbana, um tema abordado no Estatuto da Cidade, e mostra-se frequentemente nos debates de planejamento urbano.
É imprescindível reforçar o papel histórico e cultural das construções antigas, ricas em história, descortinar o papel histórico e cultural que exercem sobre as cidades, avivar sua importância, e desenvolver propostas para manter acesa a memória coletiva de uma sociedade. A presente pesquisa propõe o estudo e levantamento dos imóveis históricos ociosos no centro histórico da cidade de Araçatuba/SP, como meio de investigação do problema. Propõe-se que o registro destes imóveis seja realizado por meio do inventário, de modo sistematizado, para que possa servir a formulação de planos e programas futuros de valorização do patrimônio histórico. Subsequentemente aos cadastros acima descritos, foi investigado e analisado especificamente o prédio da antiga cadeia pública.

Published: September 2024

Urban parks perform different and important functions in cities, providing numerous environmental benefits and improving the quality of life of the city population. Studies that address the value of urban parks, as well as discuss the relevance of municipal planning and public policies aimed at building environmentally healthy cities, are essential. These aspects justify the development of this study, which aimed to identify whether urban parks are part of the political agenda of the previous and current management of the Municipality of São Paulo/SP. For the development of the theoretical framework of this study, a systematic review was carried out in the ProQuest, Scielo, Scopus databases, in which articles published between 2010 and 2020 were sought. In order to identify whether urban parks are part of the political agenda of the previous and current management of the Municipality of São Paulo/SP, a documentary research was carried out, and for that the Government Plan and the Guidelines of the Government Plan of the current/re-elected management from the city of São Paulo were consulted. The data revealed the importance of urban parks for the maintenance of environmental quality in urban areas and for the quality of life of the population that resides and transits through cities. Furthermore, it showed that urban parks are part of the political agenda of the previous and current/re-elected management of the municipality of São Paulo. Thus, urban parks are among the themes to which municipal management has dedicated its attention and has been developing a set of alternative actions for the maintenance of parks.

Published: September 2024

Tourism in rural areas comprises all activities carried out in non-urban areas, which consists of leisure activities in rural areas in various modalities defined based on the offer: rural tourism, agritourism, ecological tourism, etc. This work aims to understand the dynamics of tourism and leisure spaces in the rural area of the municipality of Teresina, Piaui, and their contributions to sustainable rural development. To this end, exploratory, bibliographic, and documentary research was used. The time frame to be worked on is contemporary, with the use of data and information from the Municipality of Teresina (PMT) through the Municipal Secretariat for Economic Development and Tourism (SEMDEC), in addition to the enterprises that operate in the field. In 2022, PMT created the Teresina Sites Route with the aim of strengthening rural tourism in the municipality. The results demonstrate that, among the businesses that make up the route, there is a variety of services offered, with most of them focused on gastronomy and sports and/or recreational activities. There are few enterprises that aim to offer an approximation to activities traditionally related to rural areas, such as agriculture and livestock farming. When considering that tourism and leisure options in rural areas can bring economic, environmental, and cultural benefits, it is essential to ensure that the activity does not grow in a disorderly manner, since a lack of planning can cause environmental degradation, loss of cultural identity and increased cost of living due to the appreciation of the area in question.

Published: September 2024

Objectives: This research aims to explore the damage sustained by the gun barrel's throat region over a long period of use, shedding light on the wear characteristics, and providing valuable insights into the long-term effects of high-pressure gas exposure during firing. Methods: To achieve this objective, the appearance of the gun barrel's throat region was characterized using forensic microscopy techniques. Visual and microscopic examinations were conducted on five (5) gun barrels with ten years or less of service usage and five (5) gun barrels with over ten years of service usage from the Philippine National Police to assess the degree of wear in the barrel’s throat region. Findings: The findings revealed varying degrees of wear in the barrel throat regions. Firearms with 10 years or less of service usage exhibited moderate corrosion, narrow cracks, and minimal soot particle presence while firearms with over 10 years of service usage showed severe corrosion, deep cracks, scattered potholes, superficial scraped surfaces, and heavy soot particle presence. Novelty: This research contributes to the understanding of barrel performance, maintenance, and potential hazards associated with aging firearms, thus providing novel insights into the long-term effects of high-pressure gas exposure during firing. By examining the changes in material properties and surface roughness of the gun barrel’s throat region, this study seeks to improve the understanding of how repeated firing impacts gun barrel performance and longevity. This, in turn, may aid in developing future maintenance practices to enhance firearm durability and safety. Keywords: Gun Barrels, Wear Characteristics, Gun Barrel Throat Region, High-Pressure Gas Exposure, Wear Patterns

Published: September 2024

One of the national heroes who fought for education in Indonesia was Ki Hajar Dewantara. The various thoughts that Ki Hajar Dewantara contributed brought progress to education in Indonesia. The five basics of education, according to Ki Hajar Dewantara, encompass guiding, the nature of nature, the nature of the times, manners, and the among system. Many previous studies have discussed the “among system.” Therefore, in this study, the researchers aim to outline Ki Hajar Dewantara's "guiding" basics of education at elementary school. The method used in this research was qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques employed the Milles and Huberman model, including data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The research findings demonstrated that Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational concept of "guiding" at Muhammadiyah Alam Surya Mentari Elementary School could be seen from (a) the learning objectives, namely guiding the nature of students to become human beings with character by teaching honesty, good manners, and leadership; (b) the learning process, which guides each student to learn optimally according to each student's readiness, learning profile, and diverse interests by using various methods, media, and scaffolding in learning; and (c) habituation activities before learning, such as reading Qur’an, stretching, praying Dhuha in the congregation, and praying together.

Authors: Rohfirsta Fulka , Zulfahmi Muhammad Nofan
Published: September 2024

To control body movements, the central nervous system, peripheral nerves, and large muscles are all involved in gross motor development in early childhood. The development of children's gross motor skills is greatly influenced by both genetic factors and environmental stimuli. This study, therefore, employed qualitative research methods to examine how the Smart Basket game affected the gross motor development of children between the ages of 4 and 5 at the Play Group of Jelita Krapyak. This game was designed for the introduction of numbers to sports. Documentation, interviews, and observation were some of the data collection methods used. The primary findings revealed that the Smart Basket game research successfully improved children's gross motor development. This suggests that children's gross motor development can benefit from an approach that combines physical activity with number recognition. Hence, it can be deduced that the implementation of this game holds promise for enhancing early childhood individuals' gross motor skills, social skills, and understanding of numerical concepts in early childhood. This game also has easy procedures for implementing and maintaining the properties. The significance of incorporating physical activity and the acquisition of numerical concepts within the context of early childhood education is the implication of this study.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to compare the age, gender, intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), spherical equivalent values, smoking, family history of glaucoma, and additional systemic diseases in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and patients with ocular hypertension (OHT); and to evaluate the relationships of these factors with each other.
Materials and Methods: 40 patients with POAG, 40 patients with OHT, and 40 individuals as a control group were included in the study. Age, gender, IOP, CCT, spherical equivalent values, family history of glaucoma, history of consanguineous marriage, smoking, and systemic diseases of each subject were recorded.
Results: There was no significant difference in gender and average age between the groups. IOP values were higher in the POAG and OHT groups than in the control group. There was no significant difference in IOP values between POAG and OHT groups. CCT was higher in the OHT group than in the other groups. There was no significant correlation between IOP and CCT values. There was no significant difference in mean spherical equivalent values. The incidence of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes mellitus was similar in all groups. Family history of glaucoma is increased in the POAG and OHT group compared with the control group. There was no significant difference in the history of consanguineous marriage, alcohol usage, and smoking status among all groups.
Conclusion: High IOP was the most important risk factor in POAG and OHT groups. A significant familial history of glaucoma in POAG and OHT groups suggests that genetic factors may be an important risk factor.

Total oksidan durum (TOS), total antioksidan durum (TAS), total tiyol [(-SH)+(-S-S-)] (TT) ve nativ tiyol [-SH] (NT) düzeyleri spektrofotometrik olarak ölçüldü, oksidatif stres indeksi (OSİ) ve disülfit [-S-S-] düzeyleri hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Gruplar arasında TOS, TAS, OSİ, TT, disülfit ve disülfit/NT değerleri açısından anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p>0.05). Ofis grubuna göre boyahane grubunda disülfit/TT düzeyleri, boyahane grubuna göre iplik grubunda NT ve NT/TT düzeyleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışan sağlığının korunmasında oksidatif strese yol açan her türlü maruziyete karşı gerekli tedbirlerin alınmasının ve çalışanların periyodik sağlık taramalarında oksidatif stres belirteçlerinin de değerlendirilmesinin yararlı olacağı kanaatine varılmıştır.
KAHRAMANMARAŞ DEPREMLERİNİN DİŞ HEKİMLİĞİ FAKÜLTESİNE BAŞVURAN HASTALARDA UYKU KALİTESİ, DEPRESYON, ANKSİYETE VE STRES DÜZEYLERİNDEKİ DEĞİŞİM ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ VE TEMPOROMANDİBULER BOZUKLUKLARIN VE YÜZ AĞRILARININ SIKLIĞI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Amaç: Deprem gibi doğal afetlerle ilişkili anksiyete, depresyon, uyku kalitesinin bozulması gibi psikolojik faktörlerin, bruksizm ve temporomandibular eklem disfonksiyonu oluşturma, kötüleştirme ve devam etmesi riskinin artmasına yol açması beklenebilir. Bu çalışma ile Kahramanmaraş depremleri sonrasında, depremin diş hekimliği fakültesine başvuran hastaların uyku kalitesi, depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerindeki değişim üzerine etkisi ve temporomandibuler bozuklukların ve yüz ağrılarının sıklığı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve yöntemler: Mevcut kesitsel çalışma, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi başvuran hastalar arasında rastgele seçilen gönüllüler üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Fonseca Anamnestik İndeksi (FAI) temporomandibuler bozuklukların tanısında kullanıldı. Uyku kalitesini değerlendirmek için Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi'nin (PSQI) Türkçe versiyonu kullanıldı. Depresyon, stres ve anksiyete düzeylerini değerlendirmek için Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği-21'in (DASS-21) Türkçe versiyonu kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Araştırma 81 birey üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamına alınan örneklemdeki bireylerin %66,7 si kadınlardan oluşmaktadır. Bireylerin yaş medyanının 30,00(23,00-44,00) olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bireylerin depresyon puanı medyanı 4,00(2,00-6,00), anksiyete puanı medyanı 4,00(2,00-7,00), stres puanı medyanı 6,00(3,00-9,00), fonseca puan medyanı 25,00(15,00-45,00) ve Puki puanı medyanının 6,00(4,00-8,00) olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Kadınların depresyon puanının ve anksiyete puanının erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğu fakat cinsiyetler arasındaki bu farklılığın istatistiksel açıdan önemli düzeyde olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Stres puanları açısından kadınlar ve erkekler arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı(p=0.011) bulunmuş ve kadınların erkeklere göre daha stresli olduğu gözlenmiştir. Fonseca puanları açısından kadınlar ve erkekler arasındaki farklılık anlamlı (p=0.022) bulunmuştur. Kadınlarda temporamandibuler bozuklukların daha yüksek düzeyde olduğu gözlenmiştir. Uyku kalitesi açısından kadınlar ve erkekler arasında önemli bir farklılık saptanmamıştır.
Sonuç: Yüzyılın depremi oldukça yıkıcı sonuçlar ortaya çıkarmıştır. Her alanda büyük bir yıkıma yol açan bu depremler hastaların depresyon, anksiyete ve stres oranları yükseltmiş ve yaşamın her alanında etkilerini göstermeye devam etmektedir.
A Brief Review on Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Diagnosis in Primary Neuropsychiatric Care Settings
Authors: Yıldırım Abdullah , Türeli Derya
Published: September 2024

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is clinically characterized by the triad of mental deterioration, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence. Correct diagnosis and referral of patients is important because NPH is a potentially treatable cause of cognitive decline and should be distinguished from more common forms of irreversible dementia. Unfortunately, it remains to be a rather underdiagnosed and controversial neuropsychiatric entity even in countries with modern healthcare systems. The diagnostic process is complicated by diverse clinical presentations, especially when the classical triad is incomplete or atypical such as with psychiatric symptoms. This manuscript aims to briefly review atypical clinical presentations of NPH and basic radiologic findings associated with it, and outline some recommendations to primary care physicians for diagnosis and referral.

Die Anforderungen an die IT-Sicherheit von Maschinen und Anlagen werden fortlaufend komplexer. Dadurch wird die Verwendung von Maschinenidentitäten immer wichtiger. Sie spielen eine entscheidende Rolle beim Aufbau der IT-Sicherheit in industriellen Netzwerken.  Maschinenidentitäten ermöglichen die Herstellung von Vertrauen zwischen Herstellern und Betreibern, z. B. durch den Nachweis der Herkunft von Komponenten und die Schaffung einer sicheren Rückverfolgbarkeit. Allerdings ist es aktuell noch  schwierig, digitale Identitäten in industriellen Umgebungen einzuführen und zu verwalten. Die Inbetriebnahme, verbunden mit einer erstmaligen sicheren Integration der Geräte in das Netzwerk  (Onboarding), ist dabei ein besonders kritischer Schritt. In diesem Artikel gehen wir auf die Bedeutung digitaler  Identitäten für Komponenten ein, beschreiben notwendige Lösungsansätze wie das sichere Onboarding und geben mit unserem Forschungsprojekt Trustpoint ein Beispiel, wie eine sichere Verwaltung von digitalen Identitäten in der Industrie funktionieren kann.
The Future as a Cultural Commons: Grammars of Commonality in Crisis‐Ridden Wilhelmsburg
Authors: Volont Louis
Published: September 2024

In this article, I analyze how vulnerable yet resistant urban residents set out to “common” a particular phenomenon: the future. The scene in analysis is Wilhelmsburg, the southern section of the German city of Hamburg. Plagued by industrial pollution, infrastructural decay, and systemic poverty, Wilhelmsburg’s residents united themselves around the 2000s in an organization called Future Wilhelmsburg. Their goal? To get out of the crisis by commoning Wilhelmsburg’s future. Future Wilhelmsburg has engaged ever since in a continuous struggle—writing, blogging, researching, advocating, and protesting—to subject the neighborhood’s future to the wishes of its residents rather than to the top‐down projections of the urban governmental elite. The future of Wilhelmsburg is thus approached as a “cultural commons”: a symbolic construct that is collectively produced yet intrinsically vulnerable to enclosure. Against this background, I set out to sociologically explain Future Wilhelmsburg’s commoning of the future. How is it, precisely, that the activists united in Future Wilhelmsburg manage to turn the “not yet” into a meaningful matter of common concern? Laurent Thévenot’s “pragmatic sociology,” and more precisely his model of the three “grammars of commonality”—referring to the structuring principles through which social actors turn individual concerns into collective ones—allows us to answer this question. The article highlights how the “justificatory grammar" (structuring activists’ public argumentations), the “liberal grammar” (structuring their pinpointing of collective paths forward), and the “affective grammar” (structuring their affinity to place) all permeate the work of Future Wilhelmsburg as it sets out to turn the future into a cultural commons.

Objetivo: Analisar os eventos toxicológicos associados a paracetamol atendidos por um Centro de Informações e Assistência Toxicológica. Métodos: Este foi um estudo transversal, retrospectivo, baseado nos casos de eventos toxicológicos associados ao medicamento paracetamol atendidos pelo Centro de Informação e Assistência Toxicológica de Londrina (CIATox/Londrina). Os dados foram extraídos do Sistema Brasileiro de Dados de Intoxicações (DATATOX), referentes aos anos de 2017 a 2021. A análise dos dados foi realizada com uso do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 19.0. Este estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Resultados: Entre 2017 e 2021 o CIATox/Londrina atendeu 685 casos de eventos toxicológicos associados a paracetamol, dos quais a grande maioria (75,0%) era de mulheres e teve a tentativa de suicídio (83,2%) foi a principal circunstância. A maior parte dos casos (37,7%) ocorreram no período vespertino e o sábado e domingo foram os dias da semana com o maior número de casos (15,7% e 16,2%, respectivamente). Em 156 (22,8%) casos houve associação do paracetamol com outras substâncias. Quase 80,0% dos casos apresentaram manifestações clínicas, com 36,4% precisando de internação (mínimo de um e máximo de 37 dias). A maioria dos casos foram classificados como leves (57,7%) e foram identificados quatro (0,6%) óbitos entre todos os atendimentos. O antídoto N-acetilcisteína foi administrado em 37,1% (N=255) pacientes. Conclusões: De forma geral, os eventos toxicológicos associados ao paracetamol ocorreram predominantemente com mulheres, no período vespertino e aos sábados e domingo, além de envolverem tentativas de suicídio. Assim, é importante o desenvolvimento de campanhas que estimulem o uso correto de medicamentos e de outras campanhas de saúde pública, principalmente para aqueles indivíduos mais susceptíveis às tentativas de suicídio.
