Authors: Meléndez Gómez Nelly , Briceño Magally , Lucente Rosina
Published: July 2024

La dimensión internacional se destaca en la actualidad como uno de los temas punteros en el campo de la Educación Superior, por sus implicaciones en la visibilidad institucional, gestión universitaria y los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de este trabajo fue generar categorías conceptuales que permitan comprender la experiencia vivida por los estudiantes en un programa de internacionalización en casa denominado Colaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Para ello se realizó el análisis de discurso en ensayos libres realizados por los estudiantes participantes en un programa COIL en el que intervinieron tres (3) universidades de distintos países. Se utilizó la codificación abierta, agrupando los códigos para formar subcategorías y posteriormente categorías derivadas de la voz de los actores en el texto. En el estudio emergen cinco categorías: Experiencia de aprendizaje, desarrollo personal, metodología, comunicaciones y recomendaciones para mejorar el programa. Se espera con este trabajo aportar elementos para la comprensión de los procesos de adaptación y de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, así como también identificar oportunidades de mejora para un óptimo desarrollo de la internacionalización online.

A infância é uma etapa fundamental na vida do indivíduo para que ele se desenvolva plenamente por toda a sua existência. A primeira infância compreende o período do nascimento aos seis anos de idade e caracteriza-se por ser uma fase marcada pelo desenvolvimento do corpo como um todo, mas principalmente cerebral e cognitivo. Trazer conhecimento acadêmico sobre os impactos negativos causados pelo contato excessivo e precoce das crianças com a tecnologia. Utilizou-se a busca ativa de recursos bibliográficos das plataformas Google acadêmico, Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, Ministério da saúde e Instituto Nacional de Saúde da Mulher, da Criança e do Adolescente para a referida revisão literária. Desde 2010, o “novo brincar” é constituído, primariamente, pelos eletrônicos que estão sendo utilizados cada vez mais precocemente. Sendo assim, a ausência de condições que ofereçam um desenvolvimento pleno dificulta o progresso adequado da criança em cada fase de sua vida. Neste artigo, discutimos como o uso exacerbado das telas impacta negativamente no desenvolvimento cognitivo e comportamental das crianças, desde o seu nascimento até o fim da primeira infância. Os danos gerados pelo contato precoce e exacerbado das telas puderam ser compreendidos, sendo essencial estabelecer limites para a garantia de um desenvolvimento saudável das crianças. Além disso é de extrema importância que haja a mediação dos pais e responsáveis quanto ao tempo de uso desses aparelhos.

Published: July 2024

O tratamento com medicamentos canábico, a base de THC e CBD, atuam no sistema endocanabinóide do corpo humano, ajudando a conter uma série de patologias.  Uma das condições que pode ser auxiliada pelo uso de tais drogas é a esquizofrenia, um grave transtorno mental incurável, caracterizada por severas crises de psicose. Revisar as vantagens e desvantagens do tratamento canábico para pacientes portadores do transtorno esquizofrênico e traçar a melhor conduta para o mesmo. Foram utilizados livros disponíveis  na biblioteca central do UniFOA e artigos do SciELO e BIOFARM, referentes ao tema abordado, no período compreendido entre 2015 e 2024. A esquizofrenia é uma patologia de natureza mental, que apresenta diversos subtipos, levando os portadores a desenvolver quadros de psicose sendo uma doença que tende a se manifestar em pacientes ainda jovens e de origem geralmente genética. Se tratando de uma condição sem cura conhecida, porém com a possibilidade de tratamento que consiste predominantemente em apoio psicológico e terapia medicamentosa, que se dá através do uso de antipsicóticos, entretanto novas descobertas apontam que a associação de tais medicamentos em conjunto com drogas que tem em sua composição a planta da cannabis também podem ser eficazes para conter as crises psicóticas, visto que essa classe de medicamentos atua no sistema endocanabinóide no corpo. Existindo duas classes de medicamentos feitos com a maconha, CBD e THC, porém apenas o CBD é aconselhado para esquizofrênicos, por ativar receptores específicos no sistema que antagonizam os efeitos da patologia. Os benefícios do tratamento canábico só são observados pelo uso do CBD, visto que fármaco de THC ativam receptores específicos do sistema endocanabinóide no corpo podendo desencadear novos casos de psicose, por outro lado, os de CBD antagonizam tal receptor, ajudando a controlar crises, além de também prevenir os efeitos colaterais que podem ser causados ao sistema nervoso pelos fármacos antipsicóticos.

Published: July 2024

As síndromes hipertensivas são as intercorrências clínicas mais comuns da gestação e representam a principal causa de morbimortalidade materna no mundo. São divididas em hipertensão gestacional, pré-eclâmpsia, eclâmpsia e pré-eclâmpsia sobreposta. A pré-eclâmpsia, de forma simplificada, é caracterizada pela elevação de valores pressóricos, juntamente com proteinúria ou lesão de órgãos-alvo, após a 20ª semana de gestação. A pré-eclâmpsia sobreposta, por sua vez, é caracterizada da mesma forma que a supracitada, porém em gestantes já diagnosticadas com hipertensão arterial crônica (HAC). Atualmente, estima-se que a pré-eclâmpsia sobreposta ocorre em 3,0% a 5,0% das gestações. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso de uma gestante que desenvolveu pré-eclâmpsia sobreposta na 27ª semana de gestação após picos hipertensivos. Seu diagnóstico foi feito através de aferição de pressão arterial sistêmica e dosagem de proteinúria 24h. Descartadas outras complicações, iniciou-se tratamento com sulfato de magnésio e corticoterapia para profilaxia de pré-eclâmpsia e maturação pulmonar do feto, respectivamente. A boa evolução do caso permitiu sua alta com o seguimento da gestação.

Published: July 2024

A síndrome nefrótica é um distúrbio renal, desencadeado por danos aos glomérulos renais. Estes possibilitam a filtração sanguínea e passagem de proteínas e, quando comprometidos, prejudicam a hemostasia e o pleno funcionamento do corpo humano. Em crianças, é frequente o aparecimento entre 2 e 6 anos de idade, sendo a lesão histológica mínima a mais comum. Caracteriza-se por proteinúria, hipoalbuminemia, edema e hiperlipidemia. O diagnóstico é feito através de análise de amostras de urina, exames de sangue e, muitas vezes, biópsia, sendo necessário manter acompanhamento de perto da evolução da doença. Dessa forma, os autores descrevem um relato de caso de Síndrome Nefrótica Pediátrica descompensada em paciente no Hospital Municipal Doutor Munnir Rafful, Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Published: July 2024

A hanseníase é uma doença infecciosa crônica que persiste endêmica em várias regiões do mundo, incluindo o Brasil, causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae. Embora uma nova espécie, o Mycobacterium lepromatosis, tem sido identificada como outro agente causal. A pandemia de Covid-19 em 2020 causou uma redução global na detecção de casos de hanseníase, incluindo no Brasil, onde a taxa de detecção já vinha diminuindo. A transmissão da doença ainda não é completamente compreendida, mas provavelmente ocorre por via respiratória, com disseminação hematogênica após a infecção do trato respiratório superior. No Brasil, a notificação dos casos de hanseníase ocorre via preenchimento da ficha de notificação compulsória, disponibilizada pelo Sinan. Esse sistema de informação de agravos permite o planejamento e organização das políticas públicas, via disponibilização dos dados pelo data-SUS O diagnóstico é predominantemente baseado em lesões cutâneas e alterações histopatológicas. Nosso estudo visa comparar a incidência de casos de hanseníase em Volta Redonda entre diferentes grupos étnicos, gêneros, níveis de escolaridade e faixas etárias, visando avaliar o preenchimento das fichas de notificação e identificar grupos vulneráveis para orientar políticas públicas. Foram coletados dados do DATASUS em 05/04/2024 sobre casos notificados de hanseníase em Volta Redonda de 2013 a 2023, analisando sexo, escolaridade e raça/cor. Os resultados indicam uma tendência decrescente na incidência de hanseníase ao longo do tempo, porém com uma diminuição desproporcional durante a pandemia de Covid-19. A população feminina representa 45% dos casos relatados, com possibilidade de subestimação devido a barreiras no acesso aos serviços de saúde e outros fatores sociais. Houve uma incidência maior de casos entre a população branca, contradizendo dados da literatura que apontam maior vulnerabilidade entre populações negra e parda, o que pode ser atribuído à maior facilidade de acesso aos serviços de saúde pela população branca. A análise da escolaridade revelou uma subnotificação significativa, comprometendo a identificação precisa dos grupos mais afetados. A subnotificação também foi observada durante a pandemia e nos meses seguintes. Esses resultados ressaltam a necessidade de políticas públicas para enfrentar a subnotificação e garantir um preenchimento adequado das fichas de notificação. É crucial implementar políticas públicas para enfrentar a subnotificação de casos de hanseníase em Volta Redonda, além de fornecer treinamento adequado aos profissionais de saúde para garantir um preenchimento consistente das fichas de notificação.

Published: July 2024

An economy pre-dominated by corporate scams, financial scandals, roosted financial statements, and overstated profits cannot flourish in the long run. The core responsibility of making sure that the Financial Statements of a company show a ‘true and fair’ view of the Company’s financial position rests on the Auditor. However, when auditors' independence is jeopardized, there is a chance that their judgment could be swayed by the company's or other parties' interests, thereby resulting in the falsification of financial statementsIn this backdrop, the current study is an attempt to decipher the reasons that are detrimental to Auditors’ Independence as proposed by the Auditors themselves. The research surveyed 65 Chartered Accountants, 65 Cost Accountants, 25 Academicians teaching audit, investors, and Chartered Accountancy final students to identify factors disrupting auditors' independence. Based on corporate scams, research papers, and judicial case decisions, 14 variables were identified that determine the reason for auditors losing their independence and conducting unethical client-favoring audits .14 questions were devised for respondents with Likert 5-point scale where 5 represents strongly agree and 1 as strongly disagree. The mean score of each respondent was taken to determine the degree of agreeableness to each variable. Secondary data, including books, journals, newspaper articles, and lectures, was used to propose remedies and describe the role of Business Spirituality in overcoming ethical dilemmas. Further, this paper also addresses the ethical dilemma faced by an auditor while conducting an honest audit. This paper also tries to find a solution to such an issue using the technique of moral value development and Business Spirituality.

Studi Numerik Pengaruh Sudut Bukaan Damper dan Flue Gas Temperatur Terhadap Distribusi Temperatur Pada Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)
Authors: Muhammad Rohman Majid  , Prabowo
Published: July 2024

The Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant (PLTGU) utilizes the waste heat from the gas turbine to produce steam in a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). The steam from the HRSG is then used to generate electricity in a steam turbine. In HRSG operation, several variables significantly impact its performance, including the damper angle and inlet temperature. At the Tanjung Uncang Power Plant in Batam, the manufacturer's standard operating procedure (SOP) requires that the exhaust gas temperature when the damper is open must be below 400°C. However, the gas turbine with an initial load of 5 MW has an exhaust gas temperature of 560°C - 580°C. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a gas turbine load release or FSNL (Full Speed No Load) to reduce the inlet temperature of the gas turbine. During FSNL, there are SOPs for diverter damper angles of 51°, 68°, and 90°. This leads to the need for analyzing the impact of diverter damper angles and inlet temperature on the flow pattern and temperature distribution. The analysis was conducted using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) with ANSYS Fluent 2020 software. The variations used are diverter damper angles of 51°, 68°, and 90°, combined with inlet temperatures of 400°C and 580°C. The simulation outputs include velocity contours, temperature contours, and equivalent stress on the superheater tubes. The HRSG simulation results show that the flue gas is not distributed uniformly. The turbine exhaust gas only spreads along 4 – 11 meters, leading to slower steam production from the superheater. Additionally, when the superheater tubes are empty, the steady-state thermal and structural simulation results indicate that an inlet temperature of 580°C, whether at damper angles of 51°, 68°, or 90°, can cause a larger temperature difference between the inner and outer walls, ranging from 117.04°C to 125.5°C. This temperature difference can lead to thermal stress on the superheater tubes. This is shown in the S-N Curve for SA 213 T22 material, with a convection coefficient of 5 W/m² K (no steam), where the equivalent stress exceeds the endurance limit (infinite zone).

Authors: Anne Gabriela
Published: July 2024

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the e-commerce growth and digital payments in the Philippines.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The growth of e-commerce and digital payments in the Philippines has been significantly influenced by factors such as perceived security, ease of use, and government policies. Studies show that digital payments have increased consumer spending and boosted sales for SMEs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, barriers like financial literacy and trust issues still hinder widespread adoption, particularly among low-income groups. Government initiatives and improved digital infrastructure have played crucial roles in promoting e-commerce growth.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Technology acceptance model (TAM), diffusion of innovations theory & unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) may be used to anchor future studies on e-commerce growth and digital payments in the Philippines. Digital payment providers should invest in comprehensive educational campaigns to improve financial literacy and build consumer trust. Policymakers should prioritize the development of digital infrastructure, particularly in rural and underserved areas, to ensure equitable access to e-commerce and digital payment systems.
The Early Detection of Lung Cancer among Indian Patients using Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Gupta Sarthak
Published: July 2024

Lung cancer causes 1 in 5 cancer related deaths globally. Statistics show that less than 16% of lung cancer cases are detected at an initial stage, leading to a significant number of lung cancer deaths within a year of diagnosis. This emphasises a requirement of improved early diagnostic methodologies for lung cancer. For this primary research, we collected comprehensive data from a prominent Indian hospital for over 2500 Indian patients. Our objective was to employ machine learning(ML) models to identify individuals at a heightened risk of developing lung cancer and more specifically, to identify key symptoms that could guide early diagnosis within the Indian populace. Furthermore, we aimed to assess and compare the diagnostic effectiveness of various machine learning (ML) models using established metrics. By evaluating multiple ML models, our study sought to identify the most optimal approach for early lung cancer detection in the Indian population. Notably, among the evaluated models, the Random Forest model emerged as the most promising. It demonstrated remarkable performance across multiple metrics, ultimately achieving the highest diagnostic accuracy of 93.3%. The significant findings of this study provide a strong foundation for future advancements in lung cancer diagnosis in India.

Instructional materials play a vital role in teaching and learning objectives especially in technical subjects. This study investigated the Instructional Materials on the Academic Performance of Secondary School Students of Public and Private Secondary Schools in Mathematics in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State and how it affects learning outcomes. A total of twelve public secondary schools and thirteen private secondary schools in Ikenne local government were investigated. The research hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between types of instructional materials available for use and students’ academic performance in mathematics in public The study found out that most instructional materials used in teaching and learning mathematics are available in most of the private secondary schools and the students are satisfied with how the instructional materials are used in teaching them but were not visibly available in public secondary schools. The analysis revealed that the students in public secondary are not satisfied with the availability of instructional materials and how the instructional materials are used. The study recommends that mathematics teachers should endeavor to use improvised instructional materials for effective teaching of mathematics in public secondary schools where these instructional materials are not available to ensure that teaching and learning of mathematics is seamless. Also, Government and school proprietors should ensure that adequate employment of committed and qualified mathematics teachers are available to teach the subject in all secondary schools.
