Published: August 2024

Bintan Island which is located in the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia has been observed to have grown a lot in the tourism industry in the recent past. This study aims at assessing the effects of tourism development on the property development among Bintan Island inhabitants. Although previous literature has been published regarding the connection between tourism and real estate development within diverse locations, specific data relevant to Bintan Island is scarce. Hence, the objective of this study is to do a follow-up on this by researching on the correlation between tourism improvement and real estate development in Bintan Island communities. In this study, the method used includes research on previous literature and property data as well as statistical analysis to determine the effect of improvement in tourism. According to the outcome of the study, there is a positive relationship between the enhancement of tourism and the contribution to real estate in the Bintan Island communities. The assessment of change also shows that most of the communities realised high increases in property values post improvement relative to the pre improvement and this difference was statistically significant. These findings are in sharp contrast to the earlier held opinion on the notion that the improvement of tourism hampers the development of real estate along the coastlines. Accordingly, it is believed that tourism improvement may serve as a reason why real estate development has taken place in the communities in Bintan Island. This study offers relevant insights for policymakers, actors in the real estate sector, and communities at coastal regions in terms of how tourism is linked to real estate development.
Re-Setting Education Priorities in the Post Covid-19 Era: Towards Equitable Learning Opportunities at ECD Level in Zimbabwe.
Authors: Muchandiona Cosmas , Manyumwa Ennie
Published: August 2024

This study sought to explore on how Early Childhood Development (ECD) educational priorities can be re-set towards achieving quality and equitable learning opportunities for ECD learners in the post Covid-19 era in Zimbabwe. The use of virtual learning platforms during the Covid-19 induced lockdown era resulted in both ECD teachers and learners experiencing a lot of challenges which gave rise to inequalities in education provisions and extended them particularly to the already disadvantaged and vulnerable ECD learners. The Social-cultural theory of learning by Barbra Rogoff formed the crux under which this study was carried upon. Interpretivist paradigm, qualitative research approach and document analysis research design were merged to enable the researchers to understand the nature of reality from human experience in the field of education at ECD level. Basing on articles published in reputable journals between 2020 and 2023, the study found out that lack of internet access, unreliable electricity / power, lack of ICT gadgets and knowledge to use virtual learning platforms were some of the challenges which were encountered when internet-based / remote learning was adopted at ECD level. The study recommended that ECD teachers need to re-set education priorities to make up for the time lost and ensure that ECD learners who were disadvantaged catch up with the rest in this post Covid-19 era in Zimbabwe.

ANÁLISE ENTRE O ATENDIMENTO NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA DE SAÚDE E A DIMINUIÇÃO NO NÚMERO DE CASOS DE DEPRESSÃO EM IDOSOS NO BRASIL
Authors: Fernandes da Silva Bueno de Miranda Ana Helena , Martins Santos Yasminn , Jerônimo Nunes Valeriano João Mateus , Gomes Marques Cecília Beatriz , Gouvea Gomes Patrick
Published: August 2024

A prevalência da depressão entre os idosos no Brasil configura-se como um problema de saúde pública. Nesse contexto, a Atenção Primária de Saúde (APS) se mostra um elo crucial na promoção da saúde mental dos idosos, desde a prevenção e o diagnóstico precoce até o tratamento e acompanhamento. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre o atendimento na Atenção Primária de Saúde (APS) e a diminuição do número de casos de depressão em idosos no Brasil compreendendo os mecanismos pelos quais a APS contribui para a saúde mental dos idosos oferecendo práticas de saúde preventivas mais eficazes. Esse artigo representa um estudo ecológico baseado no delineamento transversal e observacional para analisar a relação entre o atendimento na Atenção Primária de Saúde (APS) e a diminuição do número de casos de depressão em idosos no Brasil, através de dados secundários por revisão de literatura. A população alvo é composta por idosos com 60 anos ou mais, atendidos em unidades de atenção primária à saúde. Embora a problemática apresente significativa prevalência, no que tange a população idosa, o número de casos de depressão diagnosticado é reduzido. Estima-se que cerca de 50% dos quadros depressivos nessa faixa etária não sejam diagnosticados pelos profissionais de saúde que atuam na atenção primária. Dessa forma, a detecção precoce da depressão permite intervenções oportunas, evitando a progressão da doença e minimizando seu impacto negativo sobre a funcionalidade e a independência dos idosos.

Authors: Nixon Nisha , Konteti Vaidehi , Gupta Karan , Thompson Anna , Damato Erika , Rajan Madhavan
Published: August 2024

1.1. Purpose: To report a case of severe sight loss following single infusion of pembrolzumab 1.2. Methods: Retrospective case report 1.3. Results: Ocular adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, due to their rarity, remain poorly characterised. Pembrolizumab targets the programmed cell death (PD-1) protein on T cells, circumventing the mechanisms by which cancer cells evade the body’s adaptive immune response. To date, reports of ocular surface disease, neuro-ophthalmic complications, orbitopathy, retinal dysfunction and uveitis have been reported following pembrolizumab infusion. We report the first case of severe panuveitis resulting in loss of vision, following a single initial infusion of pembrolizumab. 1.4. Conclusion: The case serves as a heartening reminder of the need for prompt reporting of visual symptoms, recognition of ocular immune-related adverse events and a multi-disciplinary approach between oncology and ophthalmology in patients receiving immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

Authors: Sadaya, MD Marianne M. , Anuran, MD, MBA Geannagail O.
Published: August 2024

Background. COVID-19 infection can present in various clinical forms. Anosmia has been significantly associated with a positive RT-PCR, but it usually appears after four days and has also been observed among COVID-19 negative patients. Knowledge on the clinical course of COVID-19 can guide decision-making on screening, diagnostic testing, and quarantine/isolation procedures.
Objectives. To describe the clinical course of healthcare workers (HCWs) with COVID-19-related exposure, symptoms, differential diagnoses, and time to return to work clearance.
Methods. This was a cross-sectional study involving HCWs diagnosed as COVID-19 contacts/suspects between April 2020 and April 2021. Information on demographics, time elapsed between clinical events, outcomes, and final diagnoses were collected from hospital records. Categorical data was presented in frequencies and percentages, while numerical data were reported as range and median values.
Results. There were 4755 consultations for COVID-19-related symptoms or exposure that were included in the study. Symptoms developed at a median of one day post-exposure. Consultation was at two days following symptom onset or four days after exposure. RT-PCR was done on the day of consult. Symptoms resolved after a median of six days. Return to work (RTW) was seven days from consult. Common presenting symptoms were respiratory (56.71%) and systemic (34.04%). COVID-19 was positive in 13.79% of consults. Almost all HCWs recovered (99%) as outpatient (88%). Differential diagnoses were usually other respiratory infections (8.60%) and allergic rhinitis (2.37%).
Conclusion. The clinical course for HCWs who consulted for COVID-19-related symptoms or exposure lasted for two weeks from symptom onset or exposure until clearance for work resumption. The most common symptoms were respiratory and systemic in nature. Recovery was noted after six days. The most common alternative diagnoses for COVID-19 negative cases were respiratory infection and allergic rhinitis.

ESTRATEGIAS DE OPTIMIZACIÓN DE INVENTARIOS BASADAS EN OPERACIONES Y LOGÍSTICA PARA EL SECTOR MINORISTA
Authors: Castillo Salamín Juan Asterio
Published: August 2024

Este estudio propone un modelo de gestión de inventarios adaptativo y diferenciado para mejorar la eficiencia operativa y rentabilidad de las tiendas de barrio en Panamá, considerando sus restricciones y complejidades específicas. Mediante un enfoque metodológico mixto, que combina estrategias cualitativas (revisión de literatura, entrevistas, grupos focales y observaciones) y cuantitativas (datos históricos de ventas e inventario, técnicas estadísticas y el modelo EOQ), se desarrolló un modelo basado en la Cantidad Económica de Pedido (EOQ).
Los resultados destacan una reducción del 71.4% en el error de pronóstico de demanda, implicando una disminución sustancial de ventas perdidas por desabastecimiento. El estudio resalta la importancia de considerar la variabilidad en los costos de mantenimiento de inventario entre productos, vinculada a diversos requisitos de almacenamiento y conservación, como un factor crítico para adaptar el modelo EOQ a las tiendas de barrio.
El estudio contribuye a la literatura al abordar una brecha crítica, demostrando el potencial de utilizar sistemas de gestión de inventario adaptados, basados en EOQ, para mejorar la rentabilidad y competitividad de las tiendas de barrio. Aunque tiene limitaciones, como basarse en datos de una sola tienda, sus implicaciones prácticas son significativas.
Se recomienda la adopción del modelo propuesto, brindando capacitación y herramientas tecnológicas accesibles para su implementación efectiva. Se sugieren futuras investigaciones para abordar las limitaciones del estudio y explorar la integración con tecnologías emergentes.

El artículo se enfoca en las expresiones coloquiales que conforman el habla de los habitantes de la provincia de Los Santos en la República de Panamá, región que se caracteriza por su riqueza histórica e identidad cultural única. Por ende, este estudio se propone explorar el patrimonio lingüístico de los santeños y cómo este está motivado por aspectos geográficos, socioculturales, contextuales e históricos. Esta investigación presenta un diseño de campo no experimental basado en conversaciones informales, revisión de la literatura existente sobre el tema; así como, la interpretación de conceptos y definiciones concretas relacionadas con la variación lingüística. Los hallazgos indican que la variación lingüística en la provincia de Los Santos presenta características dinámicas y diversas, motivados por factores internos de la estructura sistémica de la lengua como por factores externos, como la situación geográfica, sociocultural, histórica e individual de sus hablantes. Con respecto a la variación lingüística en todas las comunidades de la provincia de Los Santos se evidencia en aspectos como: el vocabulario, la entonación, el timbre, el acento, la pronunciación y otras características fundamentales. Esta variación infiere información sobre la procedencia, el origen geográfico, las raíces y las costumbres de los hablantes, así como su posición social y nivel educativo. Además, se resalta de forma significativa la utilización del término "variedad lingüística" para referirse a comunidades de hablantes más específicas y a actos comunicativos concretos.

Published: August 2024

Este texto consiste na combinação de dois ensaios que têm como objetivo destacar a relevância da intercomunicabilidade entre antropologia e imanência em minha pesquisa (em Educação Matemática). No primeiro ensaio, abordo os conceitos 'pesquisar', 'habitar' e 'pensar', baseando-me na obra antropológica de Tim Ingold. No segundo ensaio, exploro os conceitos de 'haver', 'imanência' e 'agir no mundo', relacionando-os à sociologia de Gabriel Tarde e à filosofia de Gilles Deleuze. Ambos os ensaios, escritos em formato de diálogo com a chamada da revista, se entrelaçam e buscam evidenciar uma série de questionamentos que me auxiliam a problematizar o ato de pesquisar (em Educação Matemática). Por fim, espero que este texto seja um conjunto de (im)pertinências para uma atividade de pesquisa (em Educação Matemática) que realça alguns caminhos de um olhar (do) possível.
PUOP*ORA e educações matemáticas: dialogando com possibilidades antropológicas
Authors: Daniel dos Santos Jonatha
Published: August 2024

Este estudo, apresenta como objetivo, a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa e Etnográfica, estabelecer uma relação entre a matemática indígena Tupari e a matemática não indígena, especificamente, no que se refere a produção da Chicha (bebida tradicional), na tentativa de visualizar a circulação e articulação desses saberes no cotidiano das aldeias vinculadas ao grupo Indígena Tupari, localizado no Estado de Rondônia, Região Norte do Brasil. Vale ressaltar que os dados analisados estão vinculados a uma pesquisa de Doutorado realizada entre os anos de 2016 a 2020. No que se refere ao campo teórico, apoiou-se nas contribuições pós-estruturalista do campo dos Estudos Culturais, em pressupostos das teorias Pós-Coloniais, em autores do Grupo Modernidade/Colonialidade. A pesquisa de campo colaborou para visualizar a necessidade da desconstrução do pesquisador para se reconstruir, na tentativa de perceber essas relações das matemáticas no cotidiano do grupo.  Com olhares decoloniais, é possível compreender que as Matemáticas produzem Educações, logo, refletir sobre as Educações Matemáticas sobrepõem e potencializa o projeto decolonial para desconstruir os projetos da modernidade, produzindo e sendo produzidos por outras lógicas de mundo e por outras matemáticas.

Neste ensaio fabulamos uma problematização nos entres de duas ideias: Nós e Gaia. A partir de um contágio (im)pertinente com antropólogos da chamada Virada Antropológica e com pensadores relacionados às questões ecológicas, construímos uma teia material discursiva como uma tentativa de educações matemáticas outras. Coletividades e pertencimento emergem como noções em uma gramática político-econômico-ecológica-pedagógica que nos oferece uma movimentação em territórios escolares. Condição de privilégio e sentido de urgência reverberam como atravessamentos dessas noções, tanto como potência de relacionalidades, quanto vigilância de suas existências. Assim, nessa narrativa tecemos alguns efeitos de uma ética para e com educações matemáticas dos terrestres em uma escola gaia, uma aposta nos entres Nós e Gaia.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de narrar e refletir sobre as aulas de futebol na Educação Física escolar. Tais aulas foram suleadas pelos atravessamentos das relações de poder que envolvem gênero e raça, assuntos que já vinham fazendo parte das aulas de Educação Física de uma pesquisa-ação participante que intenciona desenvolver uma Educação Física sustentada por uma proposta pedagógica decolonial e intercultural com o sexto ano do ensino fundamental da Escola Estadual Abya Yala. A escolha pela pesquisa narrativa como caminho teórico-metodológico mostrou que as aulas de futebol na Educação Física possibilitam a compreensão de que os(as) alunos(as) experienciam de distintas formas e atribuem diferentes significados ao que vivem nas suas trajetórias, bem como que a oferta, o convite, o encontro e o diálogo se apresentam como instrumentos importantes para refletir as relações de poder que envolvem gênero e raça na escola.
School-Based Occupational Therapists’ Roles Supporting Transitions Into and Throughout Kindergarten to Grade 12: A Scoping Review
Authors: Renahan Kari , Knobl Erin , Jiang Annie , Tandon Chitrini , Campbell Wenonah
Published: August 2024

Importance: Large educational transitions occur when students enter and exit school or move between grades or divisions within the kindergarten to Grade 12 (K–12) school system. For students with disabilities, the quality of large educational transitions affects academic and postschool outcomes, which is germane to school-based occupational therapists.

Objective: To explore the school-based occupational therapy literature to describe the roles of occupational therapists in supporting large educational transitions and to identify relevant terminology.

Data Sources: We searched six databases (CINAHL, EMCare, Embase, ERIC, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO) for peer-reviewed publications in English with no date limitations.

Study Selection and Data Collection: We included articles focused on children and youth with disabilities and school-based occupational therapy services supporting large transitions within K to 12 education. Using directed content analysis, we reported on publication characteristics, occupational therapy roles, and terminology.

Findings: We included 46 publications spanning 37 yr that addressed transitions into school (n = 3), within K to 12 grades or divisions (n = 10), or to exit secondary education (n = 33). Occupational therapists assumed many roles in supporting large transitions, some much more frequently than others; 125 transition terms were used across included articles with few terms explicitly defined.

Conclusions and Relevance: School-based occupational therapists’ involvement in educational transitions is extensive, with potential for expansion. Consistency in terminology would support future research and practice.

Plain-Language Summary: A large educational transition occurs when students move between a school, grade, or division as part of their K to 12 education. For students with disabilities, the quality of a large educational transition affects their academic and postschool outcomes. This review provides an understanding of how school-based occupational therapists support educational transitions for youth with disabilities. The review found that occupational therapists took on many roles, with the potential for expanding their roles. The review also identified 125 transition terms that were used across the literature review and found that few terms were explicitly defined. Consistency in terminology would support future research and expanded occupational therapy practice in this area.
The Functional Consequences of Long COVID Need to Be Addressed by Occupational Therapists
Authors: Kehl-Floberg Kristen , Pop-Vicas Aurora , Giles Gordon , Edwards Dorothy
Published: August 2024

Long COVID—persistent health complications after recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 infection—is associated with activity limitations in nearly 48 million U.S. adults, affecting work, leisure, family, and community functioning. Occupational therapists are experts in customizing interventions to maximize performance of daily routines, and often treat individuals who experience similar functional impacts to those observed in long COVID. The large number of people experiencing new disability, as well as a lack of medical treatment options, make occupational therapy a crucial component of long-COVID research and multidisciplinary management. In this column, we discuss actionable steps occupational therapists can take to place them at the forefront of maximizing functional and quality-of-life outcomes for people with long COVID.

This 2nd edition Handbook of Spinoza retains a unique focus on the biographical details of Spinoza’s life, as well as essential scholarship on his influences and early critics. A glossary of key Latin Spinozan terms with English translations remains a key feature alongside short synopses of Spinoza’s writings. Adding to the updated contemporary scholarship on Spinoza from across Europe and the US is the recognition of Spinoza’s influence more globally.

Distinct from other reference works on Spinoza, this book offers the tools and methodology necessary for students and scholars who are completing their own research. Accompanying each main section is an updated and detailed bibliography that situates both the summative and original scholarship therein. This 2nd edition includes a revised biography from Jeroen van de Ven who has systematically revisited the archive; influences will now include reference to Machiavelli and Hobbes primarily, as well as remarks on the De La Court brothers, La Perèyre, and Delmedigo. A new entry on the critic, Willem van Blijenbergh, alongside a reconstruction of dozens of letters now lost from Spinoza consolidates new directions of study which are supported by additional glossary terms onAxioma(cf.Ordo geometricus),Definitio(ibid.),Excommunicare,Lumen,Methodus,Negatio,Pax,Ratio, (Cf.Cognitio),Scientia intuitiva, andTempusamongst others.

Maintaining an approach that is refreshingly independent of the historicist/analytic/continental divide, this work features scholars from across these traditions, and remains an essential point of reference for students and scholars alike.
The Professionalization of Window Display in Britain, 1919–1939
Authors: Meakin Kerry
Published: August 2024

This book provides the first comprehensive history of window display as a practice and profession in Britain during the dynamic period of 1919 to 1939.

In recent decades, the disciplines of retail history, business history, design and cultural history have contributed to the study of department stores and other types of shops. However, these studies have only made passing references to window display and its role in retail, society and culture. Kerry Meakin investigates the conditions that enabled window display to become a professional practice during the interwar period, exploring the shift in display styles, developments within education and training, and the international influence on methods and techniques.

Piecing together the evidence, visual and written, about people, events, organisations, exhibitions and debates, Meakin provides a critical examination of this vital period of design history, highlighting major display designers and artists. The book reveals the modernist aesthetic developments that influenced high street displays and how they introduced passers-by to modern art movements.
Jessica Huntley’s Pan-African Life
Authors: Tomlinson Claudia
Published: August 2024

A powerful biography that presents analysis of a black working-class woman who rose from a tenement slum in intensely racialized British Guiana to become a leading anti-colonialism, workers’ rights and women’s liberation activist in Britain.

Jessica Huntley's Pan-African Lifecelebrates Huntley's importance as a leading figure in the Windrush-era resistance to the multiple, racialized injustices faced by black settlers, children and communities in Britain. Claudia Tomlinson details how Huntley became the elder stateswoman of radical black activism of her era through participation in decolonization movements and actions such as the Black Parents Movement and the International Bookfair of Radical Black and Third World Books, as well as her foundational role at Bogle L’Ouverture Publications, the leading black-led, pan-African publishing house and its associated radical bookshop.

Based on extensive archival research and over 40 interviews with Huntley’s closest family members, associates, comrades, authors, artists and friends, this book affords readers an opportunity to take a long-lensed view of the historical roots of the many contemporary racial injustices re-invigorated in recent debates. Tomlinson re-writes the history of a period and a struggle often told through a master discourse that is male, middle-class and privileged. In so doing, she shows how Jessica Huntley’s fight for justice and the rights of all black people in Britain provides a useful lens into UK-based, black literary and cultural expression in the 20th century.

The Praeger Guide to Hearing and Hearing Loss
Authors: Dalebout Susan
Published: August 2024

More than 31 million people in the United States alone suffer from hearing loss - that is one in every 10 people in the current population. Of those, only five to 10 percent can be treated medically, leaving the largest number in need of other solutions. It is for those people that veteran audiologist Susan Dalebout wrote this comprehensive guide. The book explains, with a simple overview of hearing anatomy and physiology, how we hear, and details hearing evaluation tests, the interpretation of those tests, and the conditions that most commonly cause hearing loss in adults. All things related to adult hearing loss are explained, as is a full menu of hearing rehabilitation services, devices, and technology. This text includes discussion of the importance of hearing in our lives, the psychological, social and emotional effects of untreated hearing loss, and the effects on family members and friends.

Also included is a chapter on prevention, describing the dangers of exposure to hazardous noise and certain drugs, and how to protect against damage to hearing. Unique for its breadth and depth, this text also offers detail on hearing aids, care and maintenance as well as factors to consider when purchasing an aid, cochlear implants, hearing-assistance technology, and future trends in hearing restoration.
Recharge Your Team
Authors: Vogt Jay W.
Published: August 2024

As most managers know, you need a vision to motivate employees to achieve goals. But people, and companies, lose focus, and the future appears hazy. People say, We're getting stale, or, I just don't know where we're headed. Leaders know they need a vision to bring people together. And they know a good vision will renew enthusiasm and commitment. But waiting for inspiration rarely works—sometimes you need a vision now. But how?Recharge Your Teamnot only shows managers how to create an effective vision—it shows how to do it in as little as four hours, using a time-tested, proven approach.

Traditionally, companies call in consultants to help create a vision. Experts can help—for $4,000 per day plus expenses. And then there's the time involved: Visioning efforts can take months. This book offers a less-expensive, faster method. Called Grounded Visioning, and based on a concept called appreciative inquiry, the process allows groups to come up with a revitalizing vision that everyone buys into in half a day or less. How? As this book shows, the key is to be sure everyone takes part, to base the vision on how the team acts when at its best, and to imagine a vision bold enough to inspire but practical enough to feel achievable. This book covers the six quick but essential steps that ensure such results—with small teams or large groups. And any manager, not just trainers or HR people, can lead a successful Grounded Visioning session. Grounded visioning is a breakthrough concept of breathtaking simplicity and power that any leader can put to use today. It works, because it frees employees to share their dreams, hopes, and aspirations. As they soar, a vision naturally arises that recharges the team.
The Revolutionary War Era
Authors: Huff Randall
Published: August 2024

This volume in Greenwood'sAmerican Popular Culture through Historyseries recreates the many ways in which a new American culture took root during the Revolutionary period. Tavern culture and pamphlet literature played integral parts in debates surrounding the Revolution. Newspapers spread information while printing the first advertisements. Courtship and marriage rituals varied greatly among the rich and poor, and among city and country folk. Public performance art was a hotly debated component of the increased schism between secular and religious concerns, though many Americans enjoyed recreations of recent military battles. Foodways were distinctly regional, yet food rationing was a universal hardship among army personnel. Randall Huff's narrative essays, as well as many extra front- and back-matter resources, help describe citizen's lives in the newly formed United States of America as the nation fought to win its independence.

American Popular Culture through Historyis the only reference series that presents a detailed, narrative discussion of United States popular culture. This volume is one of 17 in the series, each of which presents essays on Everyday America, The World of Youth, Advertising, Architecture, Fashion, Food, Leisure Activities, Literature, Music, Performing Arts, Travel, and Visual Arts.

Encyclopedia of Stock Car Racinghighlights approximately 250 subjects that have defined the sport since stock car racing was first organized. Organized in A-Z order, it covers all of the greatest drivers, such as Richard Petty, Jimmie Johnson, Junior Johnson, and David Pearson; the special races such as the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400; and the famed tracks across the country, from Bristol Motor Speedway to Darlington Raceway to Talladega Superspeedway. This unprecedented resource collects information about every element of NASCAR history in one place: the early personalities who shaped the sport and set things in motion, the past greats who have now retired, and today's rising stars who continue to make stock car racing one of the most popular sports in the United States.
