Published: November 2023

Dr. James C. BROWER of the Department of Geology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York 13210 USA is working on Silurian crinoids and seeks the holotypes of two of John Phillips species of Silurian crinoids described in Murchison's Silurian System 1839 page 674 and plate 17 figs. 4 and 5 as Dimerocrinites decadactylus Phillips sp. nov. fig. 4 and Dimerocrinites icosidactylus Phillips sp. nov. fig. 5 Murchison gave the crinoids to Phillips for description and often did not note from whose collection particular specimens came and to which many presumably then returned. Murchison did record that the first of these specimens (pi. 17 fig. 4) came from a Mrs. Downing -...

Murchison also mentioned that some of the crinoids he used were from the cabinet of Mr. H. W. Inwood (1839 p. 702). Inwood does not appear in the list of subscribers to the book and little else seems to be known of him. The material seems to have come from Dudley (1839 p. 673) but Inwood may not have. There is a Henry William Inwood, a London based architect, whose dates are right and who is known to have been a collector of antiquities (see H. M.

Lost & Found: 61. Warner, Richard (1763-1857)
Authors: Torrens H.S.
Published: November 2023

In some autobiographical notes written very near the end of his life William Smith (1769-1839) recorded that the first collection of fossils which he ever arranged in stratigraphic order was that of the Rev. Richard Warner of Bath. Warner was in contact with Smith by at least 1800 (Cox, L. R. Proc. Yorks Geol. Soc. ^ 31-34 1942). What happened to Warner's fossil collection has never been discovered although it is known that Warner had disposed of it before 1830. (GCG 1^ no 3 p. 106 1975). A recently discovered letter sheds some light on the collection and may help elucidate its subsequent history. It is addressed to...

In the course of the differentiated treatment and rehabilitation measures carried out, in the majority of patients with schizophrenia with concomitant diabetes mellitus, after a course of inpatient treatment, psychotic symptoms were completely or partially reduced, relative criticism of their condition was formed, and the subjective assessment of their quality of life improved significantly. The revealed differences in the frequency of rehospitalizations between the first (with a higher level of QoL at admission) and the second (with a lower level of QoL at admission) subgroups of patients indicate better curability of patients with an initially higher quality of life and the advisability of a differentiated (taking into account QoL) treatment and rehabilitation approach to patients. It is assumed that the further use of the proposed treatment and rehabilitation programs focused on a dynamic detailed (by spheres and sub spheres) study of the quality of life of patients will lead to an increase in the compliance of mentally ill patients, the prevention of stigmatization and self-stigmatization, an increase in long-term remissions, as well as an improvement in their quality of life and social adaptation.
Keywords: stigmatization and self-stigmatization, spheres and sub spheres.

Authors: De Souza Alexandre Lemos , Locatelli Claudriana , Centa Ariana
Published: November 2023

O câncer de pele é uma doença caracterizada pelo crescimento desordenado de células da pele, podendo ser dividido em dois grandes grupos, sendo o câncer de pele do tipo melanoma e câncer de pele não melanoma. O câncer de pele não melanoma são mais prevalentes e com baixa mortalidade e baixa capacidade metastática, já o câncer de pele melanoma tem alta mortalidade e morbidade, sendo um subtipo mais agressivo. São fatores de risco para o surgimento de câncer de pele são a exposição solar sem proteção, seja ela química ou física, maus hábitos de vida como tabagismo, sedentarismo, etilismo, entre outros. A prevenção do câncer de pele acontece pela minimização dos fatores de risco. O conhecimento das lesões e como se apresentam pode favorecer o diagnostico, permitindo que educar a população e os profissionais da saúde fiquem atentos quanto aos sinais de alerta da doença e estimular a participação nas campanhas de prevenção, rastreio e intervenção.

A interseção entre meio ambiente e tecnologia tem se tornado cada vez mais relevante em um mundo onde a sustentabilidade é uma preocupação. A preservação do meio ambiente e o uso responsável dos recursos naturais são questões importantes para as gerações presentes e futuras. Nesse contexto, a extensão universitária desempenha um papel fundamental para conectar a universidade com a comunidade ao promover práticas sustentáveis ​​na educação básica. Essa pesquisa aborda a importância da relação entre meio ambiente, tecnologia e extensão universitária, analisando como a educação básica pode se beneficiar dessas redes para enfrentar os desafios ambientais da atualidade. A pesquisa foi dividida em três projetos, desenvolvidos separadamente, mas conectados entre si: Criação do perfil @extensão_ambiental na rede social Instagram, criação do Podcast: Pé no Ouvido e a realização de aulas lúdicas no formato de oficinas, desenvolvidas em uma escola da rede pública do município de Nazaré da Mata-PE. Em todos os três projetos foram dialogados com as questões ambientais dando ênfase ao município onde foi desenvolvido o projeto. A incorporação de métodos educacionais na escola é fundamental para que os alunos entendam as questões locais e ambientais, permitindo que proporcionem soluções com problemas mais amplos. Isso, por sua vez, pode levar à conscientização da comunidade onde vivem.

O câncer tem início a partir de uma mutação genética que resulta no crescimento desordenado das células. Segundo o Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA), o câncer de mama e de colo do útero são respectivamente os mais frequentes entre as mulheres, sendo responsáveis por 20,03% e 4,7% dos casos registrados e o câncer de próstata está como o mais incidente ente os homens. O diagnóstico precoce está intimamente relacionado com o prognóstico e sucesso no tratamento desses casos. Por meio de materiais informativos e palestras educacionais, foram capacitados os agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) para levarem essas informações durante as visitas domiciliares para a população do Bairro Berger do Município de Caçador (SC). O intuito é que os ACS despertem o interesse no autocuidado, prevenção e diagnóstico precoce dos cânceres devido a abordagem desses assuntos durante a visitas. Vários retornos significativos foram obtidos após a realização do projeto, entre eles estão a conscientização da população sobre os temas do projeto e um convite foi recebido da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do município para o acadêmico autor do projeto realizar uma palestra a um grupo de mulheres do bairro Berger sobre câncer de mama e de colo do útero. Também resultados quantitativos demonstraram a importância do projeto, pois obteve-se uma diferença significativa no número de consultas referente a saúde da mulher, sendo um aumento de 37,82% nesse número e a respeito da saúde do homem pode-se obter um aumento de 24,50% das consultas realizadas na Unidade Básica de Saúde Berger.
Políticas públicas da educação infantil no contexto do federalismo brasileiro
Authors: Gobi Roberta Cristina , Figueiredo Igor Silva
Published: November 2023

O texto reflete o desenvolvimento do federalismo no Brasil, destacando desafios e mudanças ao longo do tempo e seu impacto nas políticas públicas de educação, principalmente após a Constituição de 1988. Essa compreensão torna-se fundamental para o entendimento da orientação das políticas públicas de educação, com foco na oferta da primeira etapa da educação básica, a educação infantil (EI). Refletindo ainda sobre a importância da cooperação entre as esferas administrativas para a garantia de uma educação de qualidade para todas as crianças brasileiras, trazendo a análise do conceito de regime de colaboração para educação, seus limites e avanços, uma vez que a relação federativa foi construída de maneira assimétrica, impactando nas relações intragovernamentais, especialmente em termos de recursos e capacidade política administrativa, impactando na  responsabilização prioritariamente do município para o atendimento da EI. O maior desafio para a consolidação desse modelo federativo colaborativo reside na distribuição equitativa de competências e recursos entre os entes federados. Destaca ainda que o federalismo brasileiro teve uma forte orientação estadualista em sua origem, com hierarquização dos estados e controle pelas elites locais. Por isso, a importância de considerar as desigualdades entre os estados na gestão do federalismo brasileiro e a necessidade de melhorar a coordenação entre o planejamento geral e setorial. Destaca-se como principal resultado a ausência de formas colaborativas de elaboração de políticas educacionais para a primeira infância.

Authors: Alasmari Mohammed Ali M.
Published: November 2023

Objective: This study delves into the definition of evidence in both language and Islamic jurisprudence. It also provides an explanation of the reasons behind differences in Islamic jurisprudence.

 

Methods: I utilized the method of induction to gather scientific material by examining relevant books of principles and extracting pertinent information. The first section of the research outlines the opinions of scholars and their supporting evidence for each school of thought, after clarifying the point of contention in the issue. In the second section, the reasons for differences in Islamic jurisprudence are divided into four categories, including issues related to principles and fundamentals, such as whether every jurist is infallible, distinguishing between evidence and indication, and distinguishing between certainty and conjecture. The final reason relates to theological principles, specifically the issue of prioritizing reason over tradition.

 

Results: The significance of studying Usul al-Fiqh in comprehending the reasons behind disagreements and their influence on the various branches of Islamic jurisprudence. Furthermore, the interdependence of Usuli issues, leads scholoars to become a source of Usuli disagreement.

 

Conclusion: One of the causes of Usuli disagreement in this matter is linked to theological issues, which sheds light on the connection between Usul al-Fiqh and the principles of religion.

Published: November 2023

This study explored learning which occurred when mature distance education students co-developed an open educational resource (OER) with their lecturers using Smith’s critical reflection as a method to guide reflection on their learning. This study is significant since student learning on the co-development of an open educational resource could not be found in the literature. Within an interpretative paradigm, we used questionnaires with mainly open-ended questions to determine a particular group of students’ learning. Findings indicate learning about themselves, their interactions, and their contexts. The study puts forward specific implications to improve future practices based on the findings. The specific contribution is that students who engage in critical self-reflection change their perspectives, allowing them to self-examine and reflect on future actions. This learning experience assists students, lecturers and institutions of higher education in their approach toward critical reflection and the co-development of OER.
