Authors: Zhao Pengxiang , Li Aoyong , Pilesjö Petter , Mansourian Ali
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Shared electric scooters (e-scooters) have been rapidly growing in popularity across Europe over the past three years, which can bring various environmental and socioeconomic benefits. However, how to further improve the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters is still a major concern for micro-mobility operators and city planners. This paper proposes a machine learning based approach to predict the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters using GPS-based vehicle availability data. First, the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters is measured with the indicator Time to Booking at the trip level. Second, ten exploratory variables in time and space are calculated as features for the prediction based on the e-scooter trips and other related data. Last, three typical machine learning methods, including logistical regression, artificial neural network and random forest are applied to predict the usage efficiency by inputting the features. Besides, the variable importance is evaluated by taking the random forest model as an example. The results show that the random forest model yields the best prediction performance (accuracy = 71.2%, F1 = 78.0%), and the variables like the hour of day and POI density present high variable importance. The findings of this study will be beneficial for micro-mobility operators and city planners to design policies and strategies for further improving the usage efficiency of e-scooter sharing services.

Published: June 2022

Abstract. The longer the COVID-19 pandemic lasts, the more apparent it becomes that understanding its social drivers may be as important as understanding the virus itself. One such social driver is misinformation and distrust in institutions. This is particularly interesting as the scientific process is more transparent than ever before. Numerous scientific teams have published datasets that cover almost any imaginable aspects of COVID-19 during the last two years. However, consistently and efficiently integrating and making sense of these separate data “silos” to scientists, decision makers, journalists, and more importantly the general public remain a key challenge with important implications for transparency. Several types of knowledge graphs have been published to tackle this issue and to enable data crosswalks by providing rich contextual information. Interestingly, none of these graphs has focused on COVID-19 forecasts despite them acting as the underpinning for decision making. In this work we motivate the need for exposing forecasts as a knowledge graph, showcase queries that run against the graph, and geographically interlink forecasts with indicators of economic impacts.
Geospatial Blockchain: review of decentralized geospatial data sharing systems

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Blockchain technologies are driving the internet infrastructures into a transformation from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. This remodels the internet foundations from a centralized approach, where data is hosted by a single actor, to a decentralized one in which data is distributed among peers in a network. Thanks to blockchain technologies, the evolution from centralized to decentralized applications (dApps) eliminate single points of failure, data censorship and data tampering. This transformation is not only important in the financial sector, where the technology is more evolved, but also in geospatial crowdsourcing activities. The objective of this work is to perform a literature review of current blockchain technologies used for sharing and crowdsourcing activities involving geospatial data. This study serves as a starting point for future works where the main purpose is to develop a geospatial sharing blockchain platform. At the present, two platforms have been developed for this purpose, FOAM and D-GIS. The former is a fully deployed implementation whose objective is to create a crowdsourced map. The latter is a platform designed to share geospatial studies publicly, however, it is only developed conceptually and not deployed. Additional to these works, other blockchain data sharing examples exist and are reviewed in this study as a baseline for future developments in the geospatial area. The output of this research indicates that it is feasible to use blockchain technology for the development of a crowdsourcing geospatial data-sharing platform.
Optimizing Electric Vehicle Charging Schedules Based on Probabilistic Forecast of Individual Mobility
Authors: Cai Haojun , Xin Yanan , Martin Henry , Raubal Martin
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The number of electric vehicles (EVs) has been rapidly increasing over the last decade, motivated by the effort to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and the fast development of battery technology. This trend challenges distribution grids since EVs will bring significant stress if the charging of many EVs is not coordinated. Among the many strategies to cope with this challenge, next-day EV energy demand forecasting plays a key role. Existing studies have focused on predicting the next-day energy demand of EVs on the aggregated and individual levels. However, these studies have not yet extensively considered individual user mobility behaviors, which exhibit a high level of predictability. In this study, we consider several mobility features of individual users when forecasting the next-day energy demand of individual EVs. Three types of quantile regression models are used to generate probabilistic forecasts of energy demand, particularly the next-day energy consumption and parking duration. Based on the prediction results, two time-shifting smart charging strategies are designed: unidirectional and bidirectional smart charging. These two strategies are compared with an uncontrolled charging baseline to evaluate their financial benefits and peak-shaving effects. Our results show that human mobility features can partially improve the prediction of next-day individual EV energy demand. Additionally, users and distribution grids can benefit from smart charging strategies both financially and technically.
Teaching and Learning Commercial Writing - What Matters?
Authors: Webster Graeme
Published: June 2022

Commercial writing, to my mind, is writing that must win an audience. I must read the papers my students write. I will mark their exams. I read professional papers for the regulations, and theories, and reflections they promise. In short, in all these cases I am captured as a reader. But when I write a public relations pamphlet, a news release, a poem, an instructional text for the market place, I must win my audience. If I don’t snare the attention of people who read this work, and then hold their gaze, I lose my readers.
A or C: Can We Assess Creative Work Fairly?
Authors: Kroll Jeri
Published: June 2022

Assessment is of prime concern to students and their teachers. Marks affect students psychologically; the by-now cliched concept of self-esteem has been used in some quarters to justify grade inflation. More to the point, in our “clever country,” students know that what appears on their transcript might determine whether they are granted a job interview. To complicate matters, teachers in our sceptical century have found assessment in many arts subjects problematic, especially those where the quality of the argument and the expression itself are the issues. In science subjects, teachers find it easier to insist that answers are either right or wrong.
The Tenth Muse: Teaching and Writing Poetry
Authors: Harrison Martin
Published: June 2022

The issue which interests me is not just about criticism, but rather more about context and reception. After all, the working languages of criticism are (like it or not) the languages which define what writing is, including what a poetry and its poetics are. Further, critical theory can define a poetics of writing without necessarily relating that poetics to actual poems. Urania, inspiratrix of analysis, maths and astronomy, was also the eighth daughter of Mother Memory and herself a Muse. Her current languages, it could be argued, are in fact very powerful languages which have remade or modernised terms no less primary, no less ur, than some of the poet’s gifts, those gifts of obsession, of meeting, of surrogate pathways, of myth and of practice. But it is important to see what these new views entail. Thus, the major critics these days seem to be telling us that the poem is no longer the central object of critical attention: the film, the CD-Rom, the historical document, the quotation have taken its place.
Spotlighting a Terrorist: A Review of Racial Profiling inTerrorist by John Updike
Authors: Yar Hafiz Ahmad
Published: June 2022

Besides affecting the global socio-political situation, the 9/11 attacks gave rise to newer forms of literary productions with distinct post-9/11 traits. Since most of the post-9/11 literary and political debates have focused on the fight between terror groups presumably based in the Muslim world and the secular west led by the United States of America, the practices of profiling, stereotyping, and counter-stereotyping have been common. We have explored racial profiling and stereotyping in Terrorists by John Updike to understand the novel’s contribution to post-9/11 political propaganda. We provide textual analysis of Terrorists by drawing evidence of profiling along racial, religious, political, cultural, and geographical lines. We conclude that various forms of propaganda including polemical fiction have eroded the inter-communal harmony in the post-9/11 American society. Finally, we recommend measures against the menace of terrorism that may be effective without compromising the civil liberties of citizens.

Comparative Assessment of Mineral, Proximate and Amino Acids Composition of Wild and Cultured Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias gariepinus
Authors: M.H. Ayofe , A.A. Folalu , O.M. Gabriel , A.A. Afusat
Published: June 2022

Investigation was conducted on the comparative analysis on mineral, proximate and amino acid composition of wild and cultured Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Internationally accepted methods of AOAC were used for the AAS analysis while data were tested with ANOVA. Moisture content of wild Clarias gariepinus (21.71±0.07%) and Oreochromis niloticus (12.72±3.00%) were significantly different (p<0.05) from that of cultured C. gariepinus (19.19±0.02%) and O. niloticus (14.13±0.03%). Carbohydrate and ash contents of the fish were not significantly different (p>0.05). Protein content in C. gariepinus and O. niloticus ranged from 38.61±0.19% (in wild C. gariepinus) to 50.03±0.19% (in cultured O. niloticus). There were significant differences (p<0.05) for crude protein, crude fibre, crude fat, Na, Mg and K in the fish species but none for Fe, Pb, Cd and Ca. The highest Na (80.07±0.55mg/100g) was recorded in wild C. gariepinus and the least Na (27.43±0.50mg/100g) in cultured O. niloticus. Cultured O. niloticus had the highest Mg (92.48±0.50mg/100g) while the highest K (44.03±0.50mg/100g) was recorded in wild C. gariepinus. The contents of alanine (4.12±0.12 g/100g), serine (5.77±0.11 g/100g), and aspartate (8.71±0.05g/100g) of wild O. niloticus were higher (p<0.05) than those of other fishes. Cultured O. niloticus (5.55±0.05g/100g) had the highest value in proline, while wild C. gariepinus had the highest value in phenylalanine (5.28±0.50 g/100g), but cultured C. gariepinus had the highest isoleucine (4.80±0.03g/100g) and threonine (6.24±0.24g/100g). The proximate composition, amino acid and mineral contents of both cultured and wild fishes vary. Therefore, consumption of fish from both sources is recommended to meet diet requirements.
Blockchain Based Electronic Voting Protocol
Authors: K. Edison , B. Venansius
Published: June 2022

SQL injection attack is now the most common server-side attack in web applications whereby malicious codes are injected into the database through user input fields by unauthorized users and this could lead to data loss or in the worst case, to database hijacking. The utilization of Blockchain technology in e-voting applications is not a new thing. Many systems have been proposed using cryptography and other security techniques. In those systems, minimal involvement of third party is observed, a problem of coercion resistance and transparency maintenance at the same time is observed and most processes have not been implemented to evaluate the systems further. This paper applies the cryptographic signatures to validate the origin and integrity of the votes by preserving the voter’s choices during the election process. Furthermore, authors provide several possible extensions and improvements that can be made as an addition to the scope of this research.

В статье представлен обзор мировых подходов в сфере персонализированного питания, концепция развития которого основана на роли индивидуальных генетических и метаболических особенностей человека в процессе формирования ответа организма на потребляемые продукты питания. Рассматриваются вопросы создания специализированного питания в Республике Беларусь, тенденции его развития и специализированная продукция как особая группа продуктов для больных с нарушениями белкового обмена, в частности с фенилкетонурией. Специалистами РУП «Научно-практический центр Национальной академии наук Беларуси по продовольствию» разработан широкий ассортимент низкобелковых пищевых продуктов. Для исследования эффективности разработанных низкобелковых продуктов специализированного назначения был проведен ряд клинических исследований с участием добровольцев, направленных на проведение сравнительной оценки эффективности разработанных отечественных продуктов и продуктов импортного производства. Полученные результаты исследований свидетельствуют, что разработанные продукты не уступают по качеству зарубежным аналогам и рекомендуются для питания детей, больных фенилкетонурией. Индивидуальный подход к питанию человека позволит формировать персональные рекомендации, а внесение изменений в рацион будет способствовать профилактике заболеваний, а также служить компонентом при проведении лечебных мероприятий.

The article presents an overview of world approaches in the field of personalized nutrition, the concept of development of which is based on the role of individual genetic and metabolic characteristics of a person in the process of forming the body's response to the food consumed. The issues of creating a specialized diet in the Republic of Belarus, trends in its development and specialized products as a special group of products for patients with protein metabolism disorders, in particular, with phenylketonuria, are considered. Specialists of RUE «Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus on Food» have developed a wide range of low-protein food products. To study the effectiveness of the developed low-protein products for specialized purposes, a number of clinical studies were conducted with the participation of volunteers aimed at conducting a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the developed domestic products and products of imported production. The obtained research results indicate that the developed products are not inferior in quality to foreign analogues and are recommended for the nutrition of children with phenylketonuria. An individual approach to human nutrition will allow you to form personal recommendations, and making changes in the diet will contribute to the prevention of diseases, and also serve as a component in the implementation of therapeutic measures.

Authors: Golyanovskiy Oleg , Rubinshtein Anna
Published: June 2022

Diagnosis and treatment of acute surgical diseases in gynecology, despite the modern achievements of medical science, has been and remains a difficult and responsible task. In urgent situations, there is always a danger of operating the patient when it was not necessary, or viewing the acute surgical process with prolonged observation, which contributes to the development of complications and even death of the patient. Often, not only health, but also the woman’s life depends on how quickly and correctly the doctor will orient in the situation and apply the right organizational and medical measures.
The development of endoscopic technology has allowed us to go from a simple visual examination of the abdominal cavity and pelvic organs to complex surgical interventions without an abdominal incision, and in emergency conditions, in case of acute abdominal pathology, in most cases, resolve diagnostic doubts.
The article describes the advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic treatment of the most common urgent gynecological pathologies, especially the postoperative management of patients, rehabilitation and preventive measures to restore their reproductive health.

Many evolutionary operations fromdiverse fields of engineering and physical sciences go through
abrupt modifications of state at specific moments of time among periods of non-stop evolution.
These operations are more conveniently modeled via impulsive differential equations and inclusions.
In this work, firstly we address the existence of mild solutions for nonlocal fractional impulsive
semilinear differential inclusions related to Caputo derivative in Banach spaces when the
linear part is sectorial. Secondly, we determine the enough, conditions for the controllability of
the studied control problem. We apply effectively fixed point theorems, contraction mapping,
multivalued analysis and fractional calculus. Moreover, we enhance our results by introducing an
illustrative examples.
L’ uso precoce dei broncodilatatori nella bronchiolite non ne modifica gli esiti

Published: June 2022

Early use of bronchodilators in Bronchiolitis doesn’t change outcomes A large retrospective multicenter study (446,696 emergency room visits of children with bronchiolitis) conducted in 3rd-level hospitals in the USA confirms that early use of bronchodilators doesn’t change outcomes, it doesn’t change the rate of hospitalization and return to the Emergency Department, it doesn’t reduce the percentage of invasive and non-invasive ventilation or hospitalization in Intensive Care Unit. The indication not to use this therapy, suggested by the AAP Guidelines and partially by an Italian consensus, does not yet seem part of the therapeutic habits of all Italian pediatrics.
Spatiotemporal variability in postsettlement energy reserves of the Caribbean spiny lobster
Authors: Espinosa-Magaña Alí F , Briones-Fourzán Patricia , Jeffs Andrew , Lozano-Álvarez Enrique
Published: June 2022

Spiny lobsters have a lengthy larval phase that develops in oceanic waters, followed by a nonfeeding, transparent postlarva (puerulus) that actively swims towards the coast to settle in shallow habitats. After settling, the transparent puerulus (TP) forms a new pigmented exoskeleton
(pigmented puerulus, PP) and molts after 3–4 wks into the first juvenile instar (J1), which resumes feeding. Because the swim to the coast and the postsettlement molt are energetically demanding, the nutritional condition of pueruli and J1 is likely to vary with settlement location and
over time, potentially playing a crucial role in the recruitment to the benthic population. We examined variation in total lipid and total protein content, as well as in lipid classes, size, and a condition index, in TP, PP, and J1 of Panulirus argus. Samples were obtained from pueruli
collectors at two locations of the Mexican Caribbean coast about 150 km from each other in the four seasons of three consecutive years. Our results show a decrease in the total lipid (mainly phospholipid) and total protein content during the TP-PP-JI transition, and a high degree of temporal
variability in the size and nutritional condition of pueruli settling at both locations. Despite this variability, all settlers exhibited a relatively consistent high nutritional status in comparison with other spiny lobster species. This may be related to a short onshore transport period
of pueruli to this coast, suggesting that limitation of lipid reserves is unlikely to affect their subsequent survival and recruitment to the benthic population.

Persian Illuminationism as a Heuristic Methodology in Creative Practice-led Research
Authors: Najafi Hossein
Published: June 2022

This article is structured into two parts. The first considers the research paradigm that emanates from Persian Illuminationism (especially the works the Persian philosopher Suhrawardi). His illuminationist way of knowing, ‘knowledge by presence’, has enabled many artists to approach the inquiry through a relationship between intuition and praxis. The second section of the article is concerned with methodology, and I explain how illuminationism is consolidated through a heuristic inquiry. I posit a journey that comprises seven stages of self-realisation drawn from The Conference of the Birds (a classical illuminationist Persian text by Attar of Nishapur). These stages correlate somewhat with Moustakas’ (1990) seven essential concepts of heuristic inquiry. However, I argue that where Moustakas’ concepts eventually focus on meeting the requirements of producing research outcomes, Attar’s illuminationist framework preserves the openness of inquiry and may facilitate ongoing discovery.).
Stepping out of the Ivory Tower: practice-led inquiry and postdisciplinary research
Authors: Ings Welby
Published: June 2022

This article considers the nature of postdisciplinary research as it relates to certain practice-led design inquiries. From a discussion of discipline territoriality in the academy, it moves to a consideration of how historical demarcations were disrupted and reshaped by professional disciplines that entered universities in the latter part of the 20th century. Among these, areas like design, with its high levels of situated experimentation, reflection on practice and applied professional knowing, began to challenge established disciplinary conventions. Building on the proposition that certain practice-led inquiries in design are postdisciplinary in nature, the article considers three examples of recent doctoral theses. In discussing these projects, it reveals ways in which knowledge from within and beyond conventionally demarcated disciplinary fields was gathered, interpreted and creatively synthesised. In concluding, the article proposes that practice-led, postdisciplinary research may usefully contribute to the ongoing need for expansive, flexible and appreciative approaches to knowledge generation.

Published: June 2022

The current research aims to Investigate the prevalence of type "A" behavior among Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) students and to show how the average of spread in type “A" is affected by some variables (gender of student, type of college, age, number of male brothers and number of female sisters, family income, type of father’s personality, type of mother's personality). In order to achieve that, a scale to measure type A" behavior has been designed. This scale consists of 37 items, divided between four dimensions of type “A“ behavior (hostility and aggressiveness, body physiology and movements, urgency, impatience, competition energy and ambition). This scale has acceptable psychometric indicators such as: face validity, factorial validity, item discrimination and reliability. The scale has been administered to 734 male and female students from seven different colleges in Sultan Qaboos University. The results in general showed low rate of type “A” behavior among SQU students, which was 5.18% (5.0896 for male, and 5.2596 for female). In the demographic variables the results showed that the gender; of students in the first dimension (hostility and aggressiveness) has a significant level for the males, while the third (urgency and impatience) was significant for the females, and the variable of college type in the second dimension (body physiology and movements) was significant for the students of Humanities colleges, and the number of male brothers in the third dimension (urgency and impatience) was significant for the less number of brothers). The type of father's personality in the second dimension (body physiology and movements) and the third (urgency and impatience) and in type “A “was generally significant for the strict type. Other variables (age, number of female sisters, family income and mother's personality) had no effect on type “A “ behavior or any of its dimensions.

Published: June 2022

Ornamental fish is a live fish commodity that has many different types. Judging from the color, ornamental fish can be said to be attractive if the colors are contrasting. Efforts to get a bright color that is evenly distributed in fish can be done by providing a source of carotenoids in fish. The most effective and dominant type of carotenoids for fish coloring is carrot flour carotenoids because natural sources of beta carotene can improve the quality and color brightness of ornamental fish such as koi fish. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments (Carrot Flour 0%, 15%, 30% and 45%) and three replications. The feed was tested on Koi fish measuring + 2-5 cm and weighing + 1.5 grams which were kept in an aquarium measuring 25x25x30 cm3. Parameters observed were daily growth rate, absolute weight growth rate, absolute length growth rate, survival rate, feed conversion ratio, proximate test, feed efficiency and color increase in Koi fish. The results showed that the addition of 15% carrot flour affected the color brightness of Koi fish (Cyprinus rubrofuscus).

Published: June 2022

During the early COVID-19 pandemic, the educational system suffered significant setbacks. Because face-to-face communication opportunities were limited, a modern approach through a distance system was adopted. Most studies have examined the impact of pandemics on the activities and lives of workers, few scholars observe how students cope with the changes. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of pandemics on higher education students by considering academic, social, emotional, and behavioral changes. More than 10 questions were used in this paper to represent four categories related to students' lives. The study included 1,227 students from five continents: Asia, Europe, America, Africa, and Oceania. The study showed that students have no difficulty learning the available technology to help them with their studies. In addition, they are socially active in different networks, maintain positive emotions and personal hygiene. demonstrating an understanding of the pandemic situation and concern for public safety. The data showed that the shift to online learning did not affect students' attitudes toward education in general. Although the use of social media has increased, students' communication habits have remained unchanged.

Published: June 2022

Multi-drug resistance patterns in bacteria are difficult to treat. The search for a new alternative antibiotic drug that may help to control drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria is necessary. The present study focused on the antibacterial effect of Lantana camara extracts against pathogenic bacteria. Extraction was performed on L. camara leaves and stems using the maceration technique. Three extraction solvents were used. The experiments were carried in duplicate, and the results were statistically analyzed with SPSS. Tannins, phenols, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides were found in L. camara plant. Methanol leaf extract possessed greater antimicrobial potential than petroleum ether and water extracts with maximum inhibition zone belonging to S. aureus 43300 (DIZ = 28 mm). The methanol stem extract of L. camara showed the best activity against S. typhi (DIZ = 15 mm). The results for both L. camara leaves and stem extracts were analyzed, and both showed a significant difference among the extracts with P-values < 0.05. The lowest MIC against S. aureus 43300, S. typhi, and P. aeruginosa was 50 mg/ml. In search for a synergetic effect between paracetamol and L. camara extracts, positive results were viewed against E. coli, S. typhi B69, and S. typhi B71.

Authors: Sharma Saket , Shah Manisha M. , Shah Isha M. , Shah Manish R.
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy can present as an acute life‑threatening emergency when it ruptures and accounts for about 10% of all maternal mortalities; therefore, it is imperative to diagnose the unruptured ectopic pregnancy such that timely intervention will prevent morbidity and mortality. The fallopian tube is the most common site for ectopic pregnancy (90-95%). With an increasing incidence of ectopic pregnancy worldwide, a histopathological study of the resected fallopian tubes becomes important to look for predisposing/associated findings such as acute salpingitis, chronic salpingitis and salpingitis isthmica nodosa (SIN). Objectives: The aim was to study the clinical presentation of ectopic pregnancy and its association with various factors like age and gravida status. It also aims to study the histomorphology of the fallopian tubes with ectopic gestation and note the presence of predisposing factors such as acute salpingitis, chronic salpingitis and SIN. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 specimens of ectopic pregnancy received in Department of Pathology for a retrospective period of 2.5-years from January 2019 to May 2021 were reviewed.
Ready to use therapeutic food (RUTF) for outpatient-based nutritional rehabilitation of severe acute malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months.
Authors: Marzoog Ahmed Salih , Ali Besma Mohammed , Ali Lamyaa Omran
Published: June 2022

Background:Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects nearly 20 million preschool-age children. Malnutrition is a risk factor in approximately one third of deaths in children who are under 5 years of age worldwide. In-hospital rehabilitation of children with SAM is not always desirable or practical , and home-based care can offer a better solution. Ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) is a widely used option for home-based rehabilitation in children without medical complications and with good appetite.  Aim of the Study: To assess the effectiveness of standard RUTF (plumpy nut) in  outpatient management of SAM in children aged 6-59 months without medical complications and with good appetite. Type of the study:Cohort, prospective interventional study.Patients & Methods: A cohort prospective interventional study was carried out among children ages 6-59 months with SAM who were referred to nutritional rehabilitation ward in  two hospitals in Baghdad , a Central Teaching Hospital for Pediatrics in Al-kurkh district and Fatima Al-Zahraa hospital for Obstetrics & Pediatrics in Al- Russafa district in an attempt to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of standard RUTF in outpatient management .

Several COVID‑19 vaccines have been developed and approved for use around the world from December 2020, to combat the pandemic caused by the novel SARS‑CoV‑2 virus. Several ophthalmic manifestations of the COVID‑19 vaccines have been reported by ophthalmologists. This review was undertaken to recognize, encourage active reporting and determine the pathogenesis and time of appearance for better awareness and understanding of the ophthalmic manifestations of COVID‑19 vaccines. A literature search was performed for publications on the ophthalmic manifestations of COVID‑19 vaccines between January 1, 2021 and November 7, 2021. 23 case reports, 17 letters to editors, 3 ophthalmic images, 4 brief communications, 4 retrospective cohort studies and 2 case control studies were included. Posterior segment, including the uvea, choroid and retinal vasculature, was most commonly affected and the reported clinical features developed at a median of four days from the time of vaccination. The possible mechanisms include molecular mimicry of the vaccine components with host ocular tissues, antigen‑specific cell and antibody‑mediated hypersensitivity reactions to viral antigens and adjuvants present in the vaccines.

Os rios sempre fizeram parte da vida da humanidade. Porém, se tornaram exemplos de ambientes degradados por conta das intervenções antrópicas as quais modificaram sua morfologia para atender as novas exigências do crescimento das cidades. Nesse sentido, o estudo buscou avaliar as obras de canalização executadas nos canais urbanos da bacia hidrográfica do Sangradouro e os impactos associados, em Cáceres – Mato Grosso. As obras executadas foram identificadas a partir do trabalho de campo e através de fontes históricas, com base nos registros disponibilizados pelo Museu Histórico de Cáceres e do Nudheo/UNEMAT, também foi realizado um mapa temático com as características da bacia dos anos de 1975 e 2017, para verificar as mudanças na área de drenagem da bacia. Portanto, as principais obras de canalização identificadas, foram: alargamento e aprofundamento da calha fluvial, bem como o realinhamento e abertura de novos canais. O mapa de mudanças na área da bacia, dos anos de 1975 e 2017, mostrou uma mudança significativa na área de drenagem. Essas associadas ao aterramento de áreas para as edificações e na execução dos arruamentos. Esses condicionantes levaram ao assoreamento do leito e potencializaram as inundações, os impactos negativos são agravados pelo lançamento de efluentes residencial-industriais e de lixos. Portanto, é necessária maior atenção dos gestores à execução de obras e/ou medidas que tenham como objetivo a sustentabilidade desses ambientes.
GEOGRAFIA E LITERATURA, MIGRAÇÃO E EXISTÊNCIA: O TRANSMUNDO DE MONSALIM

Uma leitura geográfica do espaço e do sujeito que busca a interpretação integrada entre ciência e arte, objetividade e subjetividade, concreto e simbólico, não omite as contribuições da literatura. Neste sentido, acredita-se que a voz literária enriquece e alarga a ação científica do geógrafo, seu modo de ver, desvendar e dizer o mundo. Em diferentes gêneros como poema, conto e romance, a literatura deixa inscrita as marcas de tempos e espaços, sua densidade econômica, antropológica, cultural e geográfica. Há neles cartografias da vida concreta e suas referências simbólicas, sociais e políticas. Sendo assim, as reflexões apresentadas neste texto baseiam-se na leitura do romance “Minha querida Beirute”, do escritor Miguel Jorge. O núcleo central da leitura é o processo migratório. Tratar-se-á de mostrar como o literato, em sua obra, “pisa o chão” revelando o sentido pedagógico do gênero romance: a sua capacidade de, por meio de uma história imaginada, dizer o inacabamento humano a partir da crítica de um tempo e as implicações dos conflitos, guerras e migrações forçadas que desenham a geopolítica global. O texto ainda sublinha as inesgotáveis possibilidades de diálogos entre geografia e literatura ao ampliar leituras do mundo, do espaço, do sujeito e da existência.

Published: June 2022

A produção do espaço urbano no contexto da sociedade capitalista reproduz na cidade as desigualdades inerentes ao modo de produção, por meio da ação de agentes produtores do espaço, que moldam a cidade para a concretização dos seus interesses. São João da Boa Vista, estudo de caso desse artigo, localiza-se no interior de São Paulo, faz parte da mesorregião de Campinas e é centro da microrregião de São João da Boa Vista, dista-se a 220 km da capital do estado e possui uma população de 90.089 (IBGE, 2017). Assim como outras cidades médias, São João da Boa Vista apresentou grande crescimento econômico e urbano nos últimos anos, modificando a dinâmica urbana da cidade. Na última década, inúmeros novos loteamentos foram implantados no município, principalmente condomínios fechados de médio e alto padrão e moradias de interesse social, que se refletiu em novos fenômenos urbanos, como a segregação socioespacial. Visto isso, essa pesquisa visou contribuir na discussão e compreensão da produção do espaço urbano de São João da Boa Vista (SP), por meio do estudo intraurbano da mancha contínua da cidade, da verificação das ações dos agentes produtores do espaço urbano e da espacialização de fenômenos, abordando especialmente a instalação de novos loteamentos na última década e suas consequências. Para isso, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico sobre os temas abordados, coleta de dados em variadas fontes, construção de mapas, que em conjunto com trabalhos de campo, entrevistas e verificação de jornais, possibilitaram a obtenção do resultado apresentado. Por fim, foram analisadas tendências de empreendimentos nas periferias da cidade, tanto os voltados a populações de média e alta renda, quanto às de baixa renda, além da investigação das ações dos agentes produtores do espaço urbano, como o Estado e os agentes imobiliários, baseados nos interesses capitalistas.

A construção do artigo partiu de uma prática de aula já executada, na cidade de Itabuna-BA com a observação da paisagem e coleta de imagens por parte dos alunos. Algunsdos resultados obtidos encontram-se descritos, dessa forma o artigo pretende auxiliar professores do ensino fundamental e médio na compreensão da importância da aula de campo como mecanismo didático-pedagógico para o alcance dos objetivos propostos.
A TEMÁTICA INDÍGENA NO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA: PROBLEMAS E CAMINHOS.
Authors: Cigolini Adilar Antonio , Da Silva Michelle Correa
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho analisa como a temática indígena tem sido abordada, no ensino de geografia, após a implementação da Lei nº 11.645/08, que obriga o estudo da história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena, no ensino fundamental e médio, no âmbito do currículo escolar. O objetivo foi verificar a forma como o indígena é representado nos livros didáticos, para entender os principais problemas que levam a manutenção do senso comum e dos estereótipos, em relação à representação dos povos originários. Metodologicamente a pesquisa se caracteriza por uma abordagem exploratória, que busca entender o estado da arte do problema, suas limitações e possíveis avanços. O resultado aponta para uma limitação do conteúdo indígena nos livros didáticos, na formação dos professores, mostrando que é preciso descolonizar o processo de ensino- aprendizagem e colocar estudantes e professores frente a culturas diversas, que foram e são protagonistas na produção do espaço brasileiro. Para isso, se propõem outro modo de abordar o tema, cuja base é a valorização de fontes produzidas pelos próprios indígenas, que são pautadas por outra racionalidade.

A água é um dos meios mais importantes do ambiente, sendo essencial à manutenção da vida e primordial para o ciclo hidrológico. Conforme o uso que se faz deste meio pode-se produzir consequências indesejáveis ao ambiente como um todo. A ocupação humana influencia diretamente na qualidade da água, por meio do lançamento inadequado de resíduos líquidos e sólidos nos rios, da retirada da vegetação e da especulação imobiliária sobre as margens, entre outros fatores. Esta situação contribui para a existência de condições ou situações de risco que vão influenciar no padrão e nível de saúde da população. Dentro das perspectivas analisadas fica evidente a interligação entre as águas rio do Sal, a comunidade do Povoado São Brás e a saúde dos sujeitos que vivem as margens desses corpos hídricos. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo objetiva avaliar as doenças causadas por veiculação hídrica e a relação comunidade-rio no povoado São Brás no Município de Nossa Senhora do Socorro/Sergipe. Nessa direção, os procedimentos metodológicos adotados para direcionar as análises presentes nesse texto basearam-se na leitura e interpretação de textos, livros, revistas, periódicos, documentos, trabalhos de campo e analise do discurso.
