Authors: Chelberg Georgina R , Butten Kaley , Mahoney Ray ,   eHRCATSIH Group
Published: June 2022

Background

There is growing global evidence on the adoption and effectiveness of eHealth (including mobile health and telehealth) by First Nation peoples including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Although there are frameworks to guide eHealth development, implementation, and evaluation, it is unknown whether they adequately encapsulate the health, cultural, and community-related priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Objective

The aim of this research program is to prepare a best practice framework that will guide the co-design, implementation, and evaluation of culturally safe eHealth interventions within existing models of health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The framework will be a synthesis of evidence that represents best practices in eHealth, as determined by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Methods

Research activities to develop the best practice framework will occur in stepped but overlapping qualitative research phases with governance from an existing multiagency research collaboration (the Collaboration). The research protocol has been informed by key research frameworks such as the SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) and Developers of Health Research Reporting Guidelines. The seven phases of research will include the following: systematic literature review, scoping review, theme development, theme consultation, Delphi processes for expert reviews, and dissemination.

Results

Members of the Collaboration conceived this research program in August 2020, and a draft was produced in June 2021 with subsequent funding obtained in July 2021. The Collaboration approved the protocol in December 2021. Results for several research phases of the best practice framework development are expected by January 2023, commencing with the systematic literature review and the scoping review.

Conclusions

The research program outlined in this protocol is a timely response to the growing number of eHealth interventions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A best practice framework is needed to guide the rigorous development and evaluation of eHealth innovations to promote genuine co-design and ensure cultural safety and clinical effectiveness for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Background

Care plans are central to effective care delivery for people with multiple chronic conditions. But existing care plans—which typically are difficult to share across care settings and care team members—poorly serve people with multiple chronic conditions, who often receive care from numerous clinicians in multiple care settings. Comprehensive, shared electronic care (e-care) plans are dynamic electronic tools that facilitate care coordination and address the totality of health and social needs across care contexts. They have emerged as a potential way to improve care for individuals with multiple chronic conditions.

Objective

To review the landscape of e-care plans and care plan–related initiatives that could allow the creation of a comprehensive, shared e-care plan and inform a joint initiative by the National Institutes of Health and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to develop e-care planning tools for people with multiple chronic conditions.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review, searching literature from 2015 to June 2020 using Scopus, Clinical Key, and PubMed; we also searched the gray literature. To identify initiatives potentially missing from this search, we interviewed expert informants. Relevant data were then identified and extracted in a structured format for data synthesis and analysis using an expanded typology of care plans adapted to our study context. The extracted data included (1) the perspective of the initiatives; (2) their scope, (3) network, and (4) context; (5) their use of open syntax standards; and (6) their use of open semantic standards.

Results

We identified 7 projects for e-care plans and 3 projects for health care data standards. Each project provided critical infrastructure that could be leveraged to promote the vision of a comprehensive, shared e-care plan. All the e-care plan projects supported both broad goals and specific behaviors; 1 project supported a network of professionals across clinical, community, and home-based networks; 4 projects included social determinants of health. Most projects specified an open syntax standard, but only 3 specified open semantic standards.

Conclusions

A comprehensive, shared, interoperable e-care plan has the potential to greatly improve the coordination of care for individuals with multiple chronic conditions across multiple care settings. The need for such a plan is heightened in the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While none of the existing care plan projects meet all the criteria for an optimal e-care plan, they all provide critical infrastructure that can be leveraged as we advance toward the vision of a comprehensive, shared e-care plan. However, critical gaps must be addressed in order to achieve this vision.

Research and Extension Roles and Standpoints on Collaboration in technology Promotion and Transfer at a Higher Education Institution in the Philippines
Authors: S. Guingab Rosalinda
Published: June 2022

Research and extension collaboration has been considered by policymakers as a critical factor in the success of efforts at lifting the agricultural sector especially in developing countries. Generation of technologies aimed at improving crop yields and farmers’ incomes are mainly the researchers’ role, while dissemination, promotion and transfer of these technologies for adoption especially by small-scale farmers is traditionally regarded as the extensionists’ main tasks. The research-extension linkage has been studied in terms of extent of collaboration and communication and causes of weak linkage, but not a single study explored how collaboration is viewed and what roles the researchers and extensionists assume in technology transfer. This study aimed to find out the roles and standpoints of researchers and extensionists in the promotion of technologies generated in an agricultural higher education institution (HEI) in the northern Philippines. Qualitative methodology was utilized to gather data from nine researchers and five extensionists who were all chosen through purposive sampling and who were all from the HEI. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the transcribed interviews. Findings show that researchers performed the role of technology transfer agents while extensionists served merely as reinforcement to the promotion activities of the researchers. There were differing standpoints about technology promotion and transfer, with the researchers’ viewpoint of extensionists’ lack of competence as a critical reason for not relegating this role to them, due to the extensionists’ non-involvement in the generation of the technologies. Lack of linkage between the two prevented the extensionists from assuming their prescribed role as technology transfer agent, doing instead the role of facilitator and organizer of farmers’ trainings. The study results call for a re-articulation of extensionists’ function and for their involvement in research centers’ implementation plan for technology promotion and transfer.

Abstract: With the rapid growth in e-commerce nowadays, a large number of online shopping websites are available like Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, which provide service to the end user. But, due to large number of websites user spend plenty of time to find quality products at a cheap price. Price comparison systems are designed to compare quality products from a range of providers, which will help consumers in choosing the product that will scrimping. As the busy lifestyle of customers living in cities most the consumer prefers to buy their product through ecommerce websites as its saves their time. Besides, customer always prefer buying cheaper products therefore by using price comparison system, customer don’t have to go out to survey the price offered in offline markets for the same product. They can check the price from ecommerce price comparison system and decide where they should buy the product needed. In the system the best deals will be clearly highlighted. The price comparison will contain a user-based system, which retrieves the costs of the same product across various different websites, providing the best choice to the user. Thus, it is a benefit for the customer to buy product at low price as compared to the market rate, and therefore they can’t be cheated.

Electric Bicycle with Fuzzy Logic Control
Authors: Gaikwad Omkar
Published: June 2022

Abstract: This system monitors speed of BLDC motor using fuzzy logic. This system uses an 8051 microcontroller to achieve this purpose. Here, we constantly monitor the motor’s speed using an IR sensor. The photo-diode is used to keep track of the fan’s motor rotation and measure the RPM. This sensor is integrated with the microcontroller and provides input to the system. The microcontroller then calculates the RPM of motor based on signals provided by the photo-diode. The microcontroller is also integrated with an LCD display to show the status of the system along with the speed of the motor. The fuzzy logic is used in this project to increase and decrease PWM supply based on the RPM of fan monitored to keep it rotating close to the desired speed. Thus, microcontroller constantly provides PWM pulses to keep the motor rotating at the desired speed as per fuzzy logic. Keywords: FUZZY-LOGIC, Motorcontrol, 8051, IR Sensor, LCD
A Comparative Study of Cement-Treated Sub-Base and Granular Sub-Base
Authors: Rahane Prof. Akshay Bharat
Published: June 2022

Abstract: It's no secret that countries around the world are fast progressing, and the infrastructure sector plays a critical role in this process. The infrastructure sector is heavily dependent on transportation. Compared to rivers, trains, airlines, and other modes of transportation, the majority of countries rely on roads and highways for transportation of all types. Crushed rock and murrum are common subbase materials for road construction in underdeveloped nations. In many locations, these materials are scarce and difficult to obtain. Fast transportation and conveyance are a top priority for India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). As a result, there is an enormous demand for building materials. The expense of producing the base layer material used in pavements, including as drilling, blasting, crushing, and transporting, makes it an expensive choice. However, when subjected to high traffic and/or strong weather, this material does not hold up. In addition, it is difficult to find in urban regions. Among the topics covered in this research are, the strength parameters of the road, total cost of construction and the time required for its construction. Comparative study of CTSB and GSB is explained in this paper. As a result, this material saves on construction costs by reducing the thickness of the crust. The Unconfined compressive strength, California bearing ratio of the cement-treated basis and sub-base is tested and results are obtained. It demonstrates that this material has superior strength and performance than that of typical materials when compared to those requirements. The CTSB methods saved the most money on construction costs of road, as evidenced by the findings. Using cement-treated foundation and sub-base instead of typical base material for road construction is shown in this paper.

Abstract: Modern times are marked with the unbridled use of chemicals which we hardly take cognizance of! Oblivious of its obvious & subtle presence in our lives, we tend to ignore the devastating impact of the chemicals on the environment. As we cannot afford to turn away from this fact, it’s time to bring this realization to our students that they have ownership towards the well-being of our environment which would invariably bring wellbeing to mankind. To reduce the environmental issues due to the toxic effects of these chemicals, and to encourage the use of natural products, the students of ITL Public School have taken the initiative to prepare Eco-friendly Innovative products free from toxic preservatives (paraben, triclosan, etc.) under the brand name Anthelia, a human story trending on the path of Prosperity of “People” & the “Planet”. Anthelia - a start-up initiative by ITLeens was launched to provide the students with hands-on experiential learning in product development apart from developing marketing strategies and entrepreneurship skills. This initiative assumed an interdisciplinary approach by involving students of all domains of Science, Commerce, and Humanities in the production network. This extraordinary feat with a comprehensive approach was attained by involving a maximum number of students as prospective input providers, irrespective of their age.

Published: June 2022

Abstract: The design of a PID-type (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller based on a Fuzzy algorithm for deployment in a transportation cruising system is described in this work. To avoid collisions, a cruising system based on the Fuzzy rules has been developed. On the road, there are crashes between vehicles. Fuzzy Logic is a new type of logic which serves as a point of reference for driving the vehicle. It either increases or reduces the speed depending upon the speed of front, rear and ego vehicle. The speed of control is determined by the preceding vehicle's distance when it becomes too close and alerts the driver when required. There are two theories on fuzzy logic the first given by Mamdani and the other was given by Sugeno.

Monocular Visual SLAM with 256-Bit Encryption on UAV
Authors: Jaiswal Prof. Ayushi , Nagmote Sahil , Khobragade Sumit , Rajsewati Vaibhav
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Monocular Visual Slam with 256-Bit Encryption on UAV is based on the concept of Fault Tolerance Control System which is very crucial for the safety of critical systems such as quadrotors. Although, this method relies on external sensors, such as GPS or motion capture systems for state estimation. In this project, we propose the algorithm that combines fault tolerance control and onboard vision-based state estimation to achieve position control of a quadrotor subjected to complete failure of one rotor. It will use the video feed as input to create 2D pose estimation graph which will help it to pinpoint its location. In order to perform the VIO i.e., Visual Inertial Odometry, we need to combine the IMU sensor reading with the data coming from the monocular camera. To use VIO, PX4 Enabled flight controller needs to communicate with the companion computer via UART pin using MAVROS. Due to this, it will be an effective device in GPS denied environment. Its design will also allow the system to follow its set trajectory even after the rotor failure. And at last, the digital data transmission will take place in an encrypted format with AES-256 encryption to back up the data securely. We believe that our approach will render autonomous quadrotors safer in both GPS denied or degraded environment. Keywords: AES-256, Encryption, Visual SLAM, Visual Inertial Odometry, IMU
Smart Dustbins - Automatic Segregation & Efficient Solid Waste Management using IoT Solutions for Smart Cities
Authors: Karwar Mr. Vedant Hemant
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Sustainability is the ability to exist continually. In the 21st century, it generally refers to the capacity for the biosphere and human civilization to coexist. There has been a spike in solid waste generation in recent times. Solid waste management is a crucial issue towards global sustainability crises. Governments across the world are taking initiatives to transform cities into smart cities. An appropriate mechanism for solid waste collection and management is vital for bringing this change. The economic value of waste is not realized unless it is appropriately managed. Internet of Things (IoT) Technologies can efficiently handle such services in smart cities. Way to sustainability is an efficient use of technology to achieve solutions to global environmental problems; solid waste management is one of the significant issues. In this paper, we are proposing an IoT based Smart dustbin monitoring system with dynamic scheduling and routing of trash collector along with moisture detection of smart dustbins. Real-time status of each smart bin is sent to the cloud. A mobile application assists the trash collector using optimal dynamic routes. Municipal corporations monitor the entire waste collection process using the proposed system. We also propose a way to automatically segregate wet and dry waste using moisture detection. Keywords: Automatic segregation, Cloud, Dynamic scheduling, Route optimization, Solid waste management, Smart cities, WetDry waste segregation.

Santiago in Hemingways Novel: The Old Man and the Sea-Authenticity Transcends Lostness– An Existential Survey
Authors: Thakur Kuldeep Singh
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Ernest Hemingway’s novel: The Old Man and the Sea depicts man’s capacity to withstand and get over hardships of time and circumstances. The protagonist, Santiago is subjected to physical struggle, fatigue, old age, solitude and impending death. He manifests his courageous response as well as physical energy to counter the forces that work against him. Hemingway has ‘transcended all limitations of bodies, sexes, relationships, friendships’1 . He gets broken and destroyed but remains undefeated. The ‘for-itself’ is always characterized by ‘the being in situation’. It is in the midst of other existents that man can define himself or can prove his authenticity. What required is his making choices and to remain committed. Santiago has grown old. He goes for fishing and remains without catching a fish for eighty four days. The boy, Manolin, who used to help him, also leaves him. But Santiago remains unbroken and undefeated. He doesn’t get disappointed or despaired. He does not feel loneliness or alienation. The other fishermen consider him as ‘salao’ which is the worst form of unlucky’2 . Jean-Paul Sartre explains: ‘Man, first of all exists, encounters himself surges up in the world and defines himself afterwards…. Man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself3 . By making choices, Santiago turns to be a real hero. Keywords: ‘choice’, ‘authentic existence’, ‘freedom’, ’commitment’, ‘being for itself’, ‘Transcend’.

Determination of Suitable Hyperparameters of Artificial Neural Network for the Best Prediction of Geotechnical Properties of Soil
Authors: Khatti Jitendra , Grover Dr. Kamaldeep Singh
Published: June 2022

Abstract: The artificial neural network is robust in predicting soil properties. The present study aims to determine the suitable hyperparameters such as number of hidden layers, neurons, and backpropagation algorithms for the best prediction of geotechnical properties of soil. The supervised learning category-based multilayer perceptron artificial neural network approach is used, and models are developed in MATLAB R2020a. The ANN models are configured with neurons (5, 10 & 15), hidden layers (one to five), and a backpropagation algorithm (LM, BFG, SCG, GDA, GD & GDA). Fifteen ANN models are developed for each algorithm. The study shows that the LM, BFG, and SCG algorithm-based ANN models require strongly (0.61-0.8) to very strongly (0.81-1) correlated datasets. On the other hand, the GDM, GD, and GDA algorithm-based ANN models require only strongly correlated datasets to achieve a performance of more than 0.9. In most cases, it is also found that the GDM, GD, and GDA algorithm-based ANN models achieve high performance with three hidden layers interconnected with ten neurons. Still, LM algorithm-based ANN model achieves high performance with a single hidden layer interconnected with 5/15 neurons. The present work draws a relationship between the correlation coefficient and the number of hidden layers & neurons. It also helps to study the effect of hidden layers and neurons on the performance of ANN models. Formulas are derived from the performance of ANN models to calculate the required number of hidden layers and neurons for a particular backpropagation algorithm to achieve a testing performance of more than 0.9.

Published: June 2022

Widely used mobile tourism applications have become a necessary tool for tourists, but few empirical researchers have examined the factors that influence consumer engagement with these applications. In this study we focused mainly on how consumer innovativeness and user motivation influence
consumer engagement. We collected data online from 468 participants, and used structural equation modeling to analyze the data. Findings show that consumer innovativeness was positively associated with utilitarian, hedonic, and social user motivations, each of which was positively associated
with consumer engagement. In addition, user motivation mediated the consumer innovativeness–consumer engagement relationship.
What Makes Restaurant Employees Become Brand Citizens?
Authors: Yang Chao-Feng , Hsu Jih-Ming , Yang Yi-Chun
Published: June 2022

We examined brand love and brand citizenship behavior in the restaurant industry, developing a study framework in which we proposed that the high-involvement human resource (HR) practices of recognition, empowerment, competence development, fair rewards, and information sharing would
play an important role in determining the brand love that enhances brand citizenship behavior. We collected data from 476 frontline employees working in restaurants in Taiwan. The findings suggest that the HR practices of recognition, empowerment, competence development, fair rewards, and
information sharing were crucial predictors of brand love. We also found that brand love mediated the link between business management and brand citizenship behavior, and had positive effects on brandhelping behavior, brand consideration, and brand enthusiasm. If managers can generate employees'
brand love, employees are likely to perform behaviors to assist with brand-related activities, follow brand guidelines while serving customers, have a positive attitude, and engage in behaviors contributing to values of the corporate brand.

Authors: Li Cui , Ni Yuan , Gao Lei , Gu Tongfei
Published: June 2022

In this study we examined inclusive leadership as an important factor in promoting the emotional labor strategies of frontline medical staff, and investigated the role of work regulatory focus as a mediator in this relationship. Data were collected from 52 supervisors and 231 frontline
medical staff employed at 15 hospitals in China. We found that inclusive leadership inspired frontline medical staff to engage more in deep acting than in surface acting. Further, work regulatory focus played a mediating role in the relationship between inclusive leadership and subordinates'
emotional labor strategy. Promotion focus positively affected deep acting and negatively affected surface acting, and prevention focus positively affected both surface acting and deep acting. Theoretical and practical management implications are discussed.
Deeper into Argumentative Bullshit
Authors: Mukerji Nikil , Mannino Adriano
Published: June 2022

In a recent paper, José Ángel Gascón extends the Frankfurtian notion of bullshit to the sphere of argumentation. On Frankfurt’s view, the hallmark of bullshit is a lack of concern for the truth of an utterance on the part of the bullshitter. Similarly, Gascón argues, the hallmark of argumentative bullshit should be viewed as a lack of concern for whether the reasons that are adduced for a claim genuinely support that claim. Gascón deserves credit for drawing attention to the idea of argumentative bullshit. Nevertheless, we argue, his treatment leaves room for further refinement as he fails to clarify important points and misidentifies several features of argumentative bullshit. In particular, Gascón’s account fails to accommodate non-Frankfurtian forms of argumentative bullshit. This paper aims to amend and extend his proposal and proposes a general account that can encompass both Frankfurtian and non-Frankfurtian forms of argumentative bullshit.
Selección natural del melanismo en jaguar y tigrillo (Carnivora: Felidae)
Authors: Eppert Amy A. , Botts Ryan T. , Mooring Michael S.
Published: June 2022

Introducción: La persistencia de los polimorfismos del color del pelaje, como la coexistencia del color del pelaje melánico (negro) y el "tipo salvaje" (manchado), es un enigma evolutivo. Objetivo: Probamos las predicciones de la Regla de Gloger y la hipótesis de la Segregación Temporal que proponen que los individuos melánicos (a) ocurrirán con mayor frecuencia en el bosque tropical cerrado que en el hábitat abierto debido a las ventajas del camuflaje y la termorregulación, y (b) serán más activos durante las épocas más brillantes del ciclo circadiano y lunar porque la pigmentación negra es críptica bajo una iluminación brillante. Métodos: Con base en 10 años de registros de cámaras trampas de jaguar y tigrillo de un denso bosque tropical en Costa Rica, comparamos la actividad y la abundancia relativa de formas no melánicas (rosetones o manchados) versus formas melánicas. Resultados: El 25% de los registros de jaguares en bosques densos fueron melánicos en comparación con el promedio global del 10% en hábitats abiertos y cerrados; el 32% de los registros de tigrillo fueron melánicos en comparación con el 18% en general en Brasil. El análisis de superposición indicó que los jaguares melánicos eran más activos durante las horas del día en comparación con los jaguares no melánicos, que eran más nocturnos y crepusculares. Asimismo, el tigrillo melánico era más diurno que el tigrillo no melánico. El tigrillo melánico también fue más activo durante la luna llena, mientras que el tigrillo no melánico fue menos activo. Conclusión: Estos resultados implican que los jaguares y tigrillos melánicos disfrutan de los beneficios adaptativos de un camuflaje superior cuando habitan en un bosque denso y acumulan una ventaja de aptitud cuando cazan en condiciones de iluminación más brillante. Si es cierto, la selección natural aseguraría que los individuos melánicos persistan cuando se retiene el bosque denso, pero pueden verse amenazados por la deforestación y la presencia humana acelerada.

Introducción: Las aves son particularmente susceptibles a la fragmentación del hábitat, lo que pone en peligro a las poblaciones locales e incluso a especies enteras. Los corredores de vegetación son una herramienta útil para conectar áreas protegidas y reducir los efectos de la fragmentación. Objetivos: Caracterizar la avifauna en un corredor de vida silvestre costarricense. Métodos: Entre febrero y junio, muestreé transectos en varios tramos del corredor y registré las especies entre las 5:30 a. m. y las 3:30 p. m. Para complementar la lista de especies, utilicé la plataforma ebird y una lista proporcionada por organizaciones locales de observación de aves. Resultados: El corredor es utilizado por al menos 418 especies de 60 familias. Los tres más abundantes fueron Tyrannidae, Parulidae y Thraupidae. De ellas, 218 especies están asociadas a hábitats abiertos, 157 a áreas boscosas y 41 a hábitats acuáticos. Hay ocho gremios tróficos. Un total de 313 especies son residentes, 61 migratorias y 27 tienen poblaciones tanto residentes como migratorias; 19 especies son residentes con algún tipo de endemismo y una es endémica del país; 50 presentan migraciones altitudinales. Diez especies están casi amenazadas, 7 son vulnerables y una especie está en peligro de extinción en la lista de la UICN; 215 especies tienen poblaciones decrecientes, 114 estables y 57 tienen una población creciente. Conclusión: Las aves de Amistosa incluyen cientos de especies y muchos tipos ecológicos, destacando la importancia de este corredor biológico tropical.

Introducción: El estudio de insectos acuáticos en ecosistemas lóticos se ha vuelto común en los últimos años para la bioindicación de cambios asociados al desarrollo socioeconómico. Sin embargo, existen vacíos de información para órdenes sensibles al deterioro ambiental como Ephemeroptera, lo que limita su uso como bioindicadores. Objetivo: Evaluar el potencial de bioindicación de los efemerópteros del género Camelobaetidius en Costa Rica. Métodos: Analizamos taxonómicamente muestras de 28 arroyos y ríos y usamos el método de Zonas de Influencia para evaluar la vulnerabilidad a la contaminación. Resultados: En estas morfoespecies la distribución se asoció con la pendiente y el gradiente altitudinal. Identificamos a Camelobaetidius guaycara y caracterizamos morfológicamente 12 morfoespecies del género, clasificándolas de "muy tolerante" a "poco tolerante" (zonas de influencia: ocho de vulnerabilidad alta, 16 vulnerabilidad media y cuatro de vulnerabilidad baja). En el Área de Conservación La Amistad-Pacífico encontramos cuatro morfoespecies en dos quebradas/ríos con diferente estado de conservación. Conclusión: En Costa Rica, la pendiente y la altitud afectan la distribución de varias mosfoespecies de Camelobaetidius que pueden usarse como bioindicadores de la contaminación del agua.

A partir de pesquisa sobre o Sistema de Avaliação Educacional de Alagoas - Saveal, de 2001 até o ano de 2021, neste artigo focamos sua implementação no governo de José Renan Calheiros Filho (2015-2021). Tomamos como pressuposto que a avaliação externa e em larga escala é relevante quando fornece informações à gestão dos sistemas e instituições escolares, auxiliando dirigentes políticos e profissionais do magistério na tomada de decisões para o desenvolvimento educacional e a mitigação dos problemas identificados. A descrição e análise do Saveal, neste estudo, considera-o como movimento de política pública integrado à gestão educacional (BROOKE e CUNHA, 2011; SOUSA e OLIVEIRA, 2010) e suas implicações para a democratização da educação básica alagoana (MEDEIROS e LUCE, 2006; DIAS SOBRINHO, 2010). A análise do Saveal está situada na conjuntura histórica e sociopolítica e na sua materialização/implementação pela aplicação de testes de rendimento aos alunos. Contudo, neste estudo observamos, mormente, o modelo de gestão político-educacional utilizado no estado de Alagoas, mais particularmente no âmbito da Secretaria de Estado da Educação. Em metodologia qualitativa, de análise bibliográfica e documental, investigamos processos e resultados das avaliações externas em larga escala no estado de Alagoas. Notamos crescente meritocracia e privatização na gestão político-educacional, em detrimento da democratização da/na educação pública.

Setting：Immune cells played a vital role in the progression of
endometrial cancer, whereas immunologic mechanism and clinical
prognostic biomarkers remained to be identified. Objective: To explore
the landscape of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in endometrial cancer
and the correlation between TIICs and EC prognosis. Methods: Data of 530
patients was downloaded from TCGA. CIBERSORTx estimated the abundance of
immune cells. Ranked data used Spearman coefficient to measure the
relationship between immune cells and clinical characteristics.
Univariate COX hazard analysis was performed to explore the relationship
between immune cells and clinical outcomes. Lasso regression was used to
screen variables. Multivariate regression was performed for stepwise
regression variable screening. Univariate and multivariate Independent
prognosis analysis was performed to validate the reliability of the
multivariate risk model. A nomographic chart was used to grade and
assess each patient’s prognosis. Results: 11 type TIICs were increased
in cancer tissues(P<0.05). Univariable regression revealed
that 5 types TIICs were significantly related with EC prognosis. TTMMD
model was constructed via lasso regression and multivariable cox
regression. Log-rank was used to perform survival analysis, and the
result was presented by Kaplan-Meier curve(p=5.13e-03). The Roc curve
was simultaneously fulfilled to validate the model’s accuracy and
predictability(AUC=0.676). The Kaplan-Meier curve of the training set
was statistically significant(p=3.807e-02). ROC curve replied the
feasibility of the model(AUC=0.678). The risk model was an independent
factor for predicting EC prognosis(p<0.001). Conclusion: 11
types TIICs were significantly associated with the prognosis of
endometrial cancers. The immune-cells-based risk model was reliable for
prognosis assessment.

Green finance is a significant step to achieving environmentally
sustainable development in the context of carbon neutrality. Based on
the perspective of the stock correlation network, we select 51 green and
environmental protection enterprises and construct the stock correlation
network model in China’s green financial market according to the
correlation of their stock price fluctuations. On this basis, it
discusses its network topologies and its dynamic evolution
characteristics. After that, it deeply studies its impact mechanism of
systemically importance in China’s green financial market and introduces
the major green financial policies for comparative analysis. In the
light of empirical research, we can obtain the following results. First,
the stock size distribution in China’s green financial market has a
power-law tail. Second, a sharp drop in the market index will increase
the aggregation of the stock correlation network in the green financial
market. Third, the variables about corporate social responsibility,
corporate R&D investment intensity, and corporate green innovation
output play significant roles in promoting the individual companies’
systemically importance ranking in the stock correlation networks of
China’s green financial market. Fourth, the implementation of major
green financial policies has promoted the improvement of the systematic
importance of state-owned enterprises. Finally, the research enriches
the application research of complex network theory in the green
financial market and provides practical guidance for regulators to
strengthen the risk monitoring of the green financial market.
