Predisposing factors that influence access to healthcare by the residents in Kiandutu urban informal settlement, Kiambu county, Kenya
Authors: Kikuvi Charlotte Ndunge , Osero Justus , Mwangi Samuel
Published: August 2023

Background: Access to healthcare refers to the ability to get the required medical care from the health service providers when needed. This is further defined into three aspects: availability of the services, affordability of the services, and acceptability of the services. The settings in informal settlements highlight the abject poverty which perpetuates ill health, with the poor being less likely to report health problems and seek medical treatment in the event of illness.
Methods: Analytical cross-sectional design was used to study 318 selected participants from Kiandutu slum in Kiambu County. Data was collected using administered structured questionnaire, focussed group discussion and key informant interview. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26.0 and involved univariate and bivariate analysis. Chi-square were used to test the significance of the association between the dependent and independent variables (p<0.05). Qualitative data was analyzed by thematic content analysis.
Results: Findings showed that access to healthcare was influenced by religion (ꭙ2=4.193; df=1; p<0.041), education level (ꭙ2=7.854; df=2; p<0.020), income (ꭙ2=6.921; df=2; p<0.031) and distance to the facility (ꭙ2=25.818; df=2; p<0.0001).
Conclusions: Affordability and availability of the health services was the main challenge on health seeking behaviour. Education level and religion were associated with access to healthcare. Income earning and distance to the health facility outside informal settlement influenced access to healthcare.

Published: August 2023

Background: Global and national guidelines on provision of adolescent and youth-friendly services (AYFS) exist. However, the extent to which these services are provided in developing countries, including Kenya, is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to assess provision of AYFS in public health facilities in Migori County, Kenya.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. The study setting was public health facilities in Migori County. The county has 275 health facilities, of these 159 are government owned/public health facilities. A multistage sampling of 114 public health facilities was done from which 210 healthcare providers (HCPs) were sampled using simple random sampling. Three facility in-charges were purposively selected to represent each of the county's three Levels of healthcare delivery system. Data was collected using structured questionnaires, key informant interviews guide, and Health facility observation checklists.
Results: Majority 153 (74%) practiced nursing and 148 (71%) had worked at their current workstation between 1-5 years. Equitable, accessible, acceptable, appropriate, and effective AYFS are provided in the government owned public health facilities.
Conclusion: Inadequate AYFS training of healthcare providers and poor implementation of existing policies including weak engagement of young people in AYFS significantly hinder the effective provision of AYFS in public health facilities.

Authors: Sawant Aditi R. , Akash Aishwarya
Published: August 2023

Background: This study aims to determine the prevalence of foot posture deformities among various intensive care unit nurses using the Foot Posture Index. Nurses working in ICUs often face long hours of standing and walking, which can contribute to the development of foot-related problems. Understanding the extent of these deformities can contribute to the development of preventive measures, such as ergonomic interventions and targeted exercises, to mitigate the risk of foot-related issues.
Methods: A study was conducted among 159 nurses from various Intensive Care Units. The Foot Posture Index, a validated tool for assessing foot posture was used to assess foot deviations in nurses.
Results: In total159 participants were evaluated, with 6 (4%) being males and 153 (96%) being females. The mean age of the participants was (Mean=40.67) and standard deviation (SD=9.6). Prevalence percentage of foot posture deviations were found to be bilateral as demonstrated by Foot Posture Index. Out of 159 participants 43% participants had pronated foot, 14% participants had highly pronated foot, 16% participants had supinated foot, 7% had normal highly supinated foot posture and 20% participants had normal foot.
Conclusions: To conclude the present study, pronated foot posture was the most common foot deviation. Moreover, when BMI was compared with the pronated foot deviation, there was a positive association between pronated foot and the nurses who were overweight.

The American Legal System in the US Popular Culture
Authors: Khalilov Vladimir
Published: August 2023

Popular culture, like law, is an integral component of society. Cultural texts, like legal ones, consciously or unconsciously, deliberately or inadvertently, proclaim the rules and customs that define the social ecosystem and shape the dominant ideology. It would not be a serious exaggeration to claim that in their degree of influence and norm-creation, cultural texts are quite comparable to legal acts and laws, disseminating and enshrining in society certain ideas, attitudes and values.
The U.S. judicial system is one of the most frequently represented areas in various formats of popular culture - movies, bestsellers, TV shows, as well as radio, board and interactive games, etc.
The legal system and popular culture overlap on several levels, primarily on a substantive level in stories revolving around legal conflict, but also on a narrative level that deploys legal tools, generates meanings and poses problems of argumentation, evidence, credibility, and susceptibility to verification to the audience.
This article examines just some of the diverse ways in which U.S. legal and popular cultures intersect. The author employs the traditional method of texts analysis to explore their ideological and semantic content, accuracy and credibility of the depiction, causal connections between fictional and real legal worlds, their mutual influences, and impact on the public perception of law and justice, paying particular attention to popular depictions of the judiciary and its representatives - judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and legal procedures involving them.
The author concludes that although fictional images of the legal system are far from always realistic and authentic, they, through dramatization, reduction, accessibility and visualization, have important social functions, such as educational, informative, normative and communicative. Not only conveying, deciphering, interpreting and commenting on concepts, provisions and cases of legal practice, but also criticizing, shaping and changing the legal system as a whole.
Relating Sustainable Development Goals in a Conceptual Integrated Model of Growth and Welfare
Authors: Sass Karina Simone , Cavalheiro Ponce Dentinho Tomás Lopes
Published: August 2023

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is one of the most relevant efforts aiming at the promotion of sustainable development around the world. Many indicators serve as a guide to evaluate the actual level of development and to identify the issues that need more attention. What is not clear yet is the association between the goals and their indicators. This can limit the information on effective political tools to reduce inequalities at the national and local levels. Based on that, the paper aims to explore the connections between SDGs. Its approach involves i) the proposal of a conceptual integrated model of sustainable development rooted in the literature and connectable with the SDGs; ii) based on World Bank (2019) data on sustainable indicators over two decades, the test of a two-stage econometric model, one to explain product per capita and a second one to explain lack of happiness, assessed by the suicide rate. From the results, it is possible to identify the factors that influence the level of wealth and happiness while integrating Sustainable Development Goals.

Authors: Salvador-Guerra Cesar , Jimber-del-Río Juan-Antonio , Vergara-Romero Arnaldo
Published: August 2023

The Environmental Kuznets Curve provides a conceptual and empirical tool to discuss the relationship between economic development and environmental deterioration in the advancement of the study of the Anthropocene. The analysis is performed using World Bank data from 92 countries with at least 60 interludes and is subjected to a polynomial function model. The results show that the curve is N-shaped for countries with high per capita income. The fulfillment of the turn for Ecuador is related to a trend that can accept the assumption of the Kuznets Environmental Curve. Likewise, the study is limited to the ambiguities in the heterogeneity between countries, therefore, the analysis of the effectiveness of environmental policies, spatial variations and the long-term trend is recommended as future research.

Authors: Harniati - , Trisnasari Wahyu , Saridewi Tri Ratna
Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the profitability and sustainability of horticulture agribusiness using hydroponics with a smart greenhouse (SGH) technology. This study also evaluates the acceptability of SGH technology. This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply chain of horticulture vegetables produced using SGH, semi-smart greenhouse (SSGH), and conventional technologies. The methods used in this study are a dynamic model, i.e., the causal loop diagram (CLD), the benefit-cost ratio (B/C), the revenue-cost ratio (R/C), and descriptive analysis. The results show that the feedback structure was complex and dynamic. The determinants of SGH-based agribusinesses were cost, income, and sustainability. The findings showed that business profitability and sustainability proxied by B/C and R/C were higher in SSGH than SGH and were the lowest in conventional. The regulated use of the technology in SSGH is more profitable and applicable in Indonesia. The acceptability of SGH technology was determined by profits, investment and operational costs, market segmentation, price factors, maintenance, and farmersâ€™ skills. Meanwhile, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply chain of vegetable commodities vary in SGH, SSGH, and conventional farming. The differences were influenced by business scale, partnerships, production locations, markets, logistics (transportation), and digital marketing. The findings of this study contribute to the literature on smart farming technology, especially the regulated application of SSGH.
Development of Land Price Model with Geographically Weighted Regression on the Existence of Spatial Planning Zones: A Case Study in the Eastern Bandung City
Authors: Deliar Albertus , Jabbaaar Dzikri Nashrul , Handayani Alfita Puspa
Published: August 2023

One of the methods used to estimate land prices is the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The GWR method is built based on the dependent and independent variables (land prices) (the spatial proximity between the land object and other facilities). However, this study will develop the independent variable by adding a spatial planning zone to provide the complexity of land price estimation. This study proposes an implementation mechanism by setting each zone type as an independent variable. Based on the spatial planning zones in Eastern Bandung City, there are five spatial planning zones. Thus, 15 variables were used in this GWR model, with ten variables from public facilities and five from spatial planning zones. The variables are categorized into worship, industry, government offices, health, sports/recreation, education, prisons, defense offices, terminals, trade and service zones, industrial zones, and low-residential, medium, and high-residential zones. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the spatial planning zone variable has a better accuracy rate than the GWR model without involving the spatial planning zone variable. The approach with the proposed mechanism gives better accuracy of 8.6%. Spatial planning zone variable can be a new perspective in making a GWR-based land price estimation model in addition to the physical object variable in the form of public or social facilities, especially to improve the quality of the model formed.

Published: August 2023

Bojonegara District, having a strategic location in the coastal area of Banten Bay, is undergoing rapid industrial development. The economic activities in coastal areas simultaneously increase the ecological pressure on ecosystems and coastal resources. Ecosystem stress, directly and indirectly, disrupts organisms' life on land and in waters, causing physical, chemical, and biological changes in coastal areas of Bojonegoro District to Lima Island, causing a potential impact on socio-anthropogenic activities. This research uses a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach through observational data and literature review to estimate the economic loss that occurs if one element in the coastal area is disturbed, impacting the whole system. The water sample was collected at fifteen spots, including industrial, port, and monitoring stations along the coastal areas of Bojonegoro District to Lima Island, to assess the severity of the impacts of industrial pollution. Total economic loss is calculated using the productivity and replacement cost approach to analyze the loss value of damage on three seagrass ecosystem functions. The total loss value due to damage is estimated to be more than IDR. 950 million per year. This study finds the high economic loss is due to the low level of public knowledge and awareness, as only â‰¤19% of the research respondents recognize the types of ecosystem variations in coastal areas, their existence, current conditions, and utilization. This study also finds that the industry still commits environmental violations in various cases, which the stakeholders must resolve to avoid further environmental damage.

Published: August 2023

Phytochemical screening is a general approach to medicinal plants and is a local knowledge that exists in the community. Tacca (Tacca lentopetaloides L.) is a traditional plant with criteria as raw material for traditional medicine, but most people do not know the benefits of these plants. Phytochemical screening tests have been carried out on the ethanol extract of the taka plant by soaking for 3 days. This Study aims to determine the phytochemical compounds found in plant organs such as leaves, stems and tubers using spectrophotometric UV-vis methods and quantitative methods. The testing mechanism uses the Tacca plant's leaves, stems and tubers. Screening phytochemicals of ethanol extract included tests for flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, and saponins. From the results of the Study, it can be seen that the location of the Tacca plant grows very significantly affects phytochemical compounds. From the three research locations, Gorango village has higher yields, namely the tubers that have a number of alkaloid compounds around 2,496.35 mg/kg and saponins (4,203.32 mg/kg), followed by flavonoids (7.20), tannins. (12.74) and phenol (4.08), followed by the villages of Bebsili and Gurua. This indicates that the Tacca plant contains phytochemical compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols and tannins which have properties such as pain relievers, anticancer, antibacterial, anti-viral, so that the Tacca plant can be used as recommendation material as a mixture of medicinal ingredients in world of medicine.

Published: August 2023

The people of Indonesia often suffer from three diseases: tinea versicolor, ringworm, and scabies. Most Indonesians cannot distinguish the type of skin disease they suffer from because some have the same characteristics and patterns. Therefore, this study built an M-Health application to predict skin diseases. The prediction process uses a deep learning model deployed in the smartphone. The challenge of this study is the limited number of datasets because the data used is personal and requires permission from the patient or hospital. Therefore, transfer learning is used to overcome these data limitations. The transfer learning process in this study uses two pre-trained models, MobileNetV2 and NASNetMobile. To obtain a model with high accuracy, performed modifications to the architecture MobileNetV2 and NASNetMobile. The test results showed that MobileNetV2 performs best using a learning rate of 0.0005 and activation function ELU. While NASNetMobile produces the best performance using a learning rate of 0.0001 and activation function ReLU6. The test results using data from gallery smartphones show that NASNetMobile has an accuracy of 91.6%, while MobileNetV2 has an accuracy of 88.9%. They were testing using the camera in real-time, which resulted in accuracy that was not as accurate as if using data from the gallery. Accuracy using a smartphone camera shows an accuracy of 75% when using NASNetMobile and 72.2% when using MobileNetV2. Accuracy will increase when using a flashlight while capturing objects. Based on the testing results using a flashlight, the NASNetMobile accuracy value increased to 80.5%, while MobileNetV2 accuracy changed to 77.8%.

Published: August 2023

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv) or Jewawut, or expressly by the Papuan people as Papuan wheat or referred to as "Pokem" (Setaria italica L. Beauv). This is an endemic plant frequently found on Numfor Island, a part of Biak-Numfor Regency. The high potential and benefits of pokem present an opportunity to produce new varieties via plant breeding initiatives based on the diversity of pokem accessions from Numfor Island regarding superior accessions and germplasm conservation. The classification grouping can be determined based on the diversity of plant accessions. Based on the physical traits of pokem plant accessions, this study aims to discover and quantify their genetic diversity. The study was conducted at the Experimental Garden of the University of Papua's School of Agriculture in Amban Manokwari using pokem seeds collected from already-cultivated regions. This study utilized a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 15 pokem plant accessions with 4 (four) replications and 60 experimental units. On eleven agronomic characteristics, kinship observations were made. Using PCA, cluster, and biplot analyses, genetic distance was determined. The position of the panicle on the stem, leaf length, flag leaf width, stem length, stem diameter, panicle length, grain color, flowering duration, and number of long internodes all contribute to the 74.285% total diversity. The two pokem accessions from Numfor island with the highest genetic similarity are Kameri 2 (KM2) and Kansai 2 (KN2), but Kameri 1 (KM1) and Rimba Raya 3 (RR3) are genetically distant. It may serve as the parental cross. Stem and leaf lengths exhibited the most variability based on biplot results, while Kameri 1 (KM1) and Rimba Raya 3 (RR3) accessions exhibited the largest diversity based on agronomic parameters.

Published: August 2023

Espresso is considered the finest brewing technique to provide coffee's optimum sensory and physiochemical quality. The quality of the Espresso is influenced by many factors, such as bean varieties and origin, roasting process, and blending formation. This research investigated the effect of the blending ratio of two varieties (70:30; 80:20; 90:10 of Arabica and Robusta) of the coffee blend from Gayo Highland Aceh Indonesia, and roasting techniques (conventional and torrefacto) on physiochemical and cupping quality of Gayo espresso. Coffee cupping quality assesses ten coffee sensory attributes based on SCAA cupping test procedures. Physiochemical characteristics refer to pH, total dissolved solids, phenolic contents, and antioxidant activity of Espresso. The research applied a completely factorial randomized design. The research stages were roasting, blending, grinding, and brewing the Espresso. The results showed that both factors blending ratio and roasting techniques, had a significant effect (Pâ‰¤0.01) on cupping quality (fragrance/aroma, flavor, aftertaste body, overall and balance attributes) and the physiochemical characteristics (pH, total dissolved solids, phenolic contents, and antioxidant activity) of Gayo espresso. The Torrefacto roasting technique, which refers to adding 11% sugar at the end of the roasting process, tends to provide Espresso with better cupping quality, higher pH, total solid particles, and antioxidant activity than the conventional roasting technique. On the other hand, Espresso, which had a blending ratio of 80:20 showed better cupping quality, whereas a blending ratio of 70:30 produced the Espresso with higher total phenol content and antioxidant activity than other ratios.

Published: August 2023

Esta pesquisa propõe uma análise das articulações comunicativas dos povos indígenas durante a pandemia da Covid-19 contra o apagamento nas agendas públicas e midiáticas. O presente artigo problematiza a experiência dos povos indígenas com a doença, indagando: quais sentidos foram mobilizados por esses povos, no Brasil, nas suas articulações políticas, culturais e comunicativas sobre a pandemia no ambiente digital? A pesquisa objetiva compreender como os indígenas vivenciaram essa realidade e os sentidos construídos sobre ela. Como corpus de investigação, toma-se o site emergenciaindigena.apiboficial.org, administrado por entidades representativas dos povos originários. Como procedimentos conceituais e metodológicos, dialogamos com o interacionismo simbólico e a análise enunciativa e narrativa em Rabatel (2016). Os resultados apontam para o domínio da comunicação digital na busca por canais autônomos que possam subverter os sentidos construídos sobre os indígenas, e que esses povos se apropriam destes ambientes digitais para construir narrativas de denúncias e de proteção, assim como diferenciar suas demandas de acordo com as etnias existentes no Brasil, contra a homogeneidade da mídia de massa.

Socioeconomic Rights in Latin America: Closing the Gap between Aspiration and Reality
Authors: Landau David
Published: August 2023

América Latina es la región donde los derechos socioeconómicos constitucionales se han tomado más en serio. Existe un alto nivel de convergencia en torno a la idea de que los derechos socioeconómicos pertenecen a las constituciones. Además, existe un creciente consenso regional de que los derechos socioeconómicos son plenamente justiciables. El registro empírico de ejecución judicial, por otro lado, muestra más variación y es menos transformador de lo que sugeriría este consenso. Los tribunales suelen seguir modelos de ejecución que imponen niveles relativamente bajos de tensión en las concepciones del papel judicial, pero también es menos probable que tengan efectos transformadores. Por ejemplo, muchos tribunales parecen preferir otorgar a los peticionarios un recurso individual en lugar de emitir un recurso estructural o colectivo. Incluso en países donde los tribunales han emitido un programa agresivo para hacer cumplir los derechos socioeconómicos, como Colombia, los críticos han argumentado que los tribunales no han logrado lo suficiente. Después de examinar la brecha entre la constitucionalización y la aplicación en el terreno, este ensayo considera soluciones. Concluyo que la mejor respuesta es holística: buscaría rediseñar otras instituciones, como defensores del pueblo y partidos políticos, para que estas instituciones respondan mejor a los derechos socioeconómicos, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un papel importante para los tribunales en la catalización y coordinación de la atención a los problemas socioeconómicos.

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations are associated with poor prognosis and occur in nearly 30% of AML cases. This study delves into the prevalence of FLT3 mutations, their impact on clinical outcomes, and the efficacy of various treatment approaches in a cohort of AML patients. We examined 157 de novo non-acute promyelocytic leukemia AML patients aged 20-95 years, screening for FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations. We tailored chemotherapy based on age, ECOG performance status, and FLT3 mutation presence. Our research revealed that 27.3% of patients harbored FLT3 mutations, with 65% FLT3-ITD and 35% FLT3-TKD mutations. Those with FLT3 mutations exhibited higher mortality rates compared to patients without mutations. Age, FLT3 mutation status, and relapsed/refractory disease emerged as independent risk factors for mortality. Patients treated with midostaurin faced a lower mortality risk than those administered sorafenib. This study underscores the significance of FLT3 mutations in AML, their influence on clinical outcomes, and the advantages of targeted therapies. Our findings stress the urgency for further investigation aimed at enhancing the prognosis for AML patients with FLT3 mutations.

Conhecer a prevalência de ortorexia e vigorexia em estudantes de Medicina. Foram aplicados os questionários Ortho-15 e de Adônis para os estudantes de Medicina, do 1º ao 12º semestre da Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense. Dos 265 estudantes questionados, 232 apresentaram ortorexia e 255 apresentaram sintomas leves a moderados de vigorexia. Há uma alta prevalência de ortorexia e vigorexia nos estudantes entrevistados. Em relação à ortorexia, houve prevalência maior em mulheres, na faixa etária menor de 20 anos e em fases mais avançadas do curso. E na vigorexia, a maioria apresentara sintomas leves a moderados. A prevalência foi maior em mulheres cis, pessoas com idade média de 21 anos e o caso mais preocupante está presente no internato. Há um número considerável de estudantes com ortorexia e vigorexia. Torna-se necessária a realização de estudos em âmbito nacional para conhecer, traçar perfil e informar profissionais da saúde sobre essas afecções.

Resumo: 

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes infectados pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) com Transtorno Depressivo Maior (TDM). Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, descritivo com coleta de dados primários e abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da aplicação de um questionário preparado pelos autores e do Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI) a pacientes diagnosticados com HIV no ano de 2015, que são acompanhados no Programa de Atenção Municipal às DSTs/HIV/AIDS (PAMDHA), em Criciúma, Santa Catarina. O estudo foi realizado com 6 indivíduos. Desses, 5 eram do sexo feminino e 1 era do sexo masculino. A idade média dos entrevistados foi de 47,3 (±10,5) anos, e o escore médio no BDI foi 21,3 (±13,69). Por meio do estudo, pode-se observar uma prevalência maior de sintomas depressivos nos indivíduos portadores de HIV do que quando comparada à população geral. Além disso, foi vista correlação dos sintomas depressivos entre a renda mensal, o nível de escolaridade e o sexo feminino. O estudo foi importante para estimular mais pesquisas na área, visto que os transtornos depressivos são subdiagnosticados nos indivíduos portadores de HIV e podem alterar aspectos importantes como a adesão ao tratamento, comportamentos de risco e qualidade de vida. As limitações deste estudo relacionam-se com seu delineamento, que dificultou a abordagem dos indivíduos caracterizados na população-alvo.

Em cenários de traumas graves de extremidades com risco de hemorragia potencialmente fatal, a aplicação do torniquete no atendimento pré-hospitalar é imprescindível para salvar vidas. O manejo efetivo desse dispositivo evita danos futuros, porém, quando empregado de forma inadequada, seja em relação à técnica ou ao tempo de permanência, pode acarretar consequências. Neste estudo, destacam-se as possíveis implicações clínicas, como, amputação de membros e comprometimento neurovascular. A pesquisa utilizou como base de dados as plataformas: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (MEDLINE e LILACS) e PubMed. Foram levantados os dados de artigos publicados entre os anos de 2020 e 2023. Quanto às implicações clínicas encontradas nos estudos selecionados, as mais prevalentes foram a amputação e a síndrome compartimental após um cenário de hipóxia tecidual, hipoperfusão e hiponutrição do membro. Logo, o risco de complicações está associado ao uso prolongado (permanência média acima de 120 minutos) e inadequado (localização estendida ou proximal à lesão) do dispositivo, principalmente, em ambiente de guerra. Portanto, para que as implicações sistêmicas graves sejam minimizadas, ressalta-se a aplicação correta do torniquete para a contenção da hemorragia, seguindo as indicações padronizadas, bem como, a indispensável educação de civis e de militares para a utilização segura deste recurso.

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender a função do registro escrito, produzido pelas professoras de pré-escolar, na constituição da sua prática pedagógica. O referencial teórico dialoga com Ostetto (2017), Proença (2022), Vygotsky (2008) entre outros. Foi realizada uma análise de documentos nacionais norteadores da Educação Infantil (EI), com o objetivo de verificar como aparece o termo “registro” nos documentos, desde a LDB até a BNCC. A análise mostra que o termo é utilizado nos documentos de forma atrelada aos procedimentos de acompanhamento e avaliação das práticas pedagógicas e das aprendizagens das crianças de modo individual e coletivo. Aparecem como exemplos de registros: relatórios, portfólios, álbuns, fotografias, desenhos, textos etc. A coleta de dados em campo caracterizou-se pela recolha de registros escritos produzidos por três professoras de Educação Infantil de escolas privadas do município de Morro da Fumaça/SC, com a finalidade de explorar o âmbito da escrita do docente a partir da observação do brincar das crianças. Os resultados mostram que, entre os temas e assuntos da brincadeira infantil, destacam-se: mamãe e filinha, super-herói, escola e ginástica/dança. As professoras relatam sobre a intencionalidade pedagógica no modo de organização e as escolhas do acervo de jogos e brinquedos, que promovem a brincadeira na Educação Infantil.Palavras chave: Observação.

Celem pracy jest określenie zakresu zróżnicowania popularności aplikacji mobilnych najbardziej odwiedzanych gmin turystycznych i uzdrowiskowych w Polsce oraz jej ocena porównawcza oparta na analizie liczby pobrań. Metoda opiera się na: analizie literatury naukowej przedmiotu uzupełnionej o źródła internetowe, wielokrotnym studium przypadku i analizie porównawczej aplikacji mobilnych polskich gmin turystycznych i uzdrowiskowych o największej liczbie noclegów, przeprowadzonej na podstawie danych z platformy Google Play. Zidentyfikowane zróżnicowanie popularności aplikacji mobilnych najchętniej odwiedzanych gmin turystycznych i uzdrowiskowych w Polsce mierzone liczbą ich pobrań pozwala wyróżnić aplikacje popularne w skali krajowej (na poziomie tysięcy pobrań), natomiast nie ma podobnych aplikacji popularnych na poziomie międzynarodowym (na poziomie milionów pobrań). Zróżnicowanie popularności aplikacji mobilnych gmin turystycznych informuje o jakości tych aplikacji i tym samym powinno być podstawą zasadności udzielanych zamówień publicznych aplikacji.

Trichoderma spp., is a highly efficient antagonist of root pathogens, such as Rhizoctonia solani, which causes loss in many crops. The aim of this research was to evaluate in vitro the antagonistic capacity of T. viride, T. koningii, T. harzianum and Trichoderma spp. isolates against R. solani from a potato crop. In confrontation tests, all Trichoderma isolates were classified as antagonists class 2 according to Bell scale, where T. harzianum and T. koningii showed more than 60% inhibition of the radial growth of R. solani at 120 h. In the interaction between T. harzianum and Trichoderma spp. with R. solani, as mycoparasitism strategy, vacuolization, lysis, coiling, and penetration were demonstrated, the last two were present in all Trichoderma isolates evaluated.

The study analyzes the digital factors, namely Promotional Strategies, Motivation, Price, Website Quality, and Product Information, and their correlation and significant effect on Filipino consumers' online impulse buying behavior in e-groceries. Studies of online impulse buying behavior in e-groceries have yet to be explored in the Philippines. It is vital for e-grocery business owners and the e-grocery industry to gain insights on how to drive online impulsivity, leading to an increased profit and market share. The study used a quantitative approach, and online survey questionnaires were used to collect data through a 4-point Likert scale, avoiding neutral responses. The study targeted Generations Z and Y due to them being the dominant online shoppers in the Philippines. The study's findings were analyzed using Pearson Correlation which showed that all digital factors have a weak positive relationship with online impulse buying behavior. Additionally, the researchers conducted a Multiple Regression Analysis concluding that Website Quality, Motivation, and Promotional Strategies significantly affect online impulse buying behavior among e-grocery customers. However, other digital factors, namely Price and Product Information, were found to be insignificant. The result suggests that as e-grocery retailers boost their strategies pertaining to Website Quality, Motivation, and Promotional Strategies, a rise in online impulse buying can materialize.
