Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

The increasing number of older adults who are living alone poses challenges for maintaining their well-being, as they often need support with daily tasks, healthcare services, and social connections. However, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have revolutionized healthcare and caregiving via their capacity to monitor health, provide medication and appointment reminders, and companionship to older adults. Nevertheless, the adaptability of these technologies for older adults are stymied by useability issues. This study explores how older adults use and adapt to AI technologies, highlighting both the persistent barriers and opportunities for potential enhancements.

OBJECTIVE

The study purpose was to provide deeper insights into older adults' engagement with technology and AI. The technologies currently used, potential technologies desired for daily life integration, personal technology concerns faced, and overall attitudes towards technology and AI are explored.

METHODS

Using mixed-methods, participants (N = 28) completed both a semi-structured interview and surveys consisting of health and well-being measures. Participants then participated in a research team facilitated interaction with an AI chatbot, Amazon Alexa. Interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis, and surveys were evaluated using descriptive statistics.

RESULTS

Participants ranged in age from 65 to 84 years. Digital devices were most commonly used for entertainment, health management, professional productivity, and social connectivity. Participants were most interested in integrating technology in their personal life for scheduling reminders, chore assistance, and for providing care to others. Challenges in using new technology included commitment to learning, a lack of privacy, and a worry about future technology dependence. Overall, their attitudes coalesced towards early adapters, those wary, and those who were resisters of technology and AI.

CONCLUSIONS

To ensure that AI technologies effectively support older adults, it's essential to foster ongoing dialogue among developers, older adults, families, and their caregivers, focusing on inclusive designs to meet older adults’ needs.

Published: August 2024

Proper drug storage is very important to ensure drug safety, quality and efficacy. Drug storage is closely related to drug expiration which includes Expiry Date (ED) and Beyond Use Date (BUD). The aim of this research was to measure the level of knowledge of Pharmacy students at Gadjah Mada University regarding drug storage and drug expiration. This research uses a designcross-sectional study with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. The sample was UGM Pharmacy Students taken randomlyconvenience sampling, in the data collection period October-November 2023, there were 132 respondents. A questionnaire covering sociodemographic data, storage domains and drug expiration time, was distributedgoogleform. Data were analyzed descriptively and with statistical testsChi-square with p<0.05. The results of the study showed that 87.88% (N= 116) of UGM Pharmacy Students had a good level of knowledge about drug storage, and 85.85% (N= 112) had a poor level of knowledge about drug expiration. There was no relationship between gender (p=0.307); age (p=0.639); semester (p=0.791); monthly income (p=0.897); parents' field of work (p=0.155); and current state of residence (p=0.904) with knowledge of drug storage. There is a relationship between age (p value 0.012); semester (p=0.015); and current state of residence (p=0.019) with knowledge of drug expiration.

Background: Stroke is still becoming one of the most common non-communicable diseases in Indonesia. Sample Registration System survey in 2016 showed that in Indonesia stroke has become the most common cause of death at all age, about 19.9%. 4 Research conducted by Novbakht found that age, sex, BMI, type of stroke, family history of stroke, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, and severity of stroke was related and increased the mortality rate. 6 Academic Hospital Universitas Gadjah Mada had not conducted this type of research, so that researcher wanted to know the one-year mortality rate after stroke, factors that related to mortality, and to improve the quality of stroke treatment at Academic Hospital Universitas Gadjah Mada.Objective: To know one-year mortality rate in acute stroke patients in Academic Hospital Universitas Gadjah Mada by looking for the acute stroke characteristic, outcome of stroke patients, and risk factors that cause mortality in stroke patients.Method: This is an analytic research using retrospective cohort study through data collection of acute stroke patients (patients with <5 days stroke onset) during July 2019 until June 2022 then we followed up the condition in the first year after stroke by using medical records, direct examination, or via telephone or video call. Mortality rates were assessed one year after stroke and the predictors of death were evaluated using the cox proportional hazard model.Result: One-year mortality after stroke in our study were related to age (>67 years old) (OR=2,29; 95% CI 1,18-4,46; p=0,015) and the severity of stroke was related to higher NIHSS score (NIHSS score during admission 16-42, (OR=38,49; 95% CI 8,92-166,0; p<0,001)) and ICU admission ((OR=8,01; 95% CI 4,03-15,90; p<0,001)).  Conclusion: An association was found between stroke severity and one-year outcomes of acute stroke patients with old age (>67 years), high NIHSS scores, and ICU admissions

Published: August 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health problem that is a global challenge and is the third leading cause of death in Indonesia and the first leading cause of death due to infectious diseases. Based on data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, there has been a decrease in the number of TB cases found and treated. As one of the strategies to control risk factors for TB disease transmission, RSA UGM provides a special clinic for TB patients whose rooms meet national standards. However, several times researchers found that there were still TB patients who controlled outside the TB clinic schedule so that they mingled with non-TB patients, which resulted in increasing the risk of TB disease transmission to patients visiting the UGM Hospital. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 a pandemic on 9 March 2020. This has caused public fear to visit health facilities. This study aims to determine the level of compliance of TB patient visits during the Covid-19 pandemic at the UGM RSA TB Clinic. This descriptive observational study used secondary data, with a total sampling technique and analyses using univariate analysis. Of the 40 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 92.5% of patients were in the productive age range (18-65 years), mostly male (70%). The proportion of patients with pulmonary TB was 62.5% and the remaining 37.5% were extra- pulmonary TB patients. There was an increase in adherence of TB patients to control at the TB clinic and on schedule from month 1 to the following months.

Dayak onion [Eleutherine bulbosa, Mill. (Urb)] is herbal plant believed to have anticancer effects. It contains triterpenoids, flavonoids, anthraquinones, and naphthoquinones which have antioxidants and anticancer activities. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of dayak onion bulb (EEDO) on serum cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) levels in rats induced with 7,12-dimethylbenz [a] anthracene (DMBA). Thirty female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups, namely Normal Group, Positive Control Group (tamoxifen), Negative Control Group (dimethyl sulfoxide/DMSO) 5%), Treatment Group I (EEDO 180 mg/kgBW), Treatment Group II (EEDO 360 mg/kgBW) and Treatment Group III (EEDO 720 mg/kgBW). All groups, except the normal group, were induced with DMBA 20 mg/kg body weight. Serum CA 15-3 levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The results showed significantly lower (p< 0.05) CA 15-3 levels in the Treatment Groups compared to the Negative Control Group. The most significant reduction in serum CA 15-3 level was observed in the Treatment Group I receiving  EEDO at a dose of 180 mg/kgBW. In conclusion, the EEDO possesses a chemopreventive effect on DMBA-induced breast cancer in rats.

Published: August 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as a computer science involving program development aiming to reproduce human cognition to analyze complex data. Artificial intelligence has rapidly developed in the medical field. In dermatology, its development is relatively new and is generally used in the diagnostic, especially for skin imaging analysis and classification, and also for risk assessment. The greatest advances have been primarily in the diagnosis of melanoma, followed by the assessment of psoriasis, ulcers, and various other skin diseases. The use of AI has shown good accuracy and is comparable to dermatologists in various studies, especially related to melanoma and skin tumors. However, several obstacles exist in the application of AI to daily clinical practice, including generalizability, image standardization, the need for large data quantities, and legal and privacy aspects. In current developments, AI should be aimed at helping enhance the decision-making of clinicians.
The Association between Residential Segregation and Access to Kidney Transplantation: Evidence from a Multistate Cohort Study
Authors: Berry Jasmine , Perez Aubriana , Di Mengyu , Hu Chengcheng , Pastan Stephen O. , Patzer Rachel E. , Harding Jessica L.
Published: August 2024

Key Points

Residential segregation is associated with reduced access to several important steps on the kidney transplant care continuum.

Residential segregation affects both Black and White individuals with ESKD seeking lifesaving transplant.

Background

Individuals currently living in neighborhoods historically influenced by racial segregation have reduced access to health care. Whether this is true for individuals with ESKD seeking transplant is unknown.

Methods

We identified Black or White adults (N=42,401; 18–80 years) with ESKD initiating KRT in three US states (Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina) between January 2015 and December 2019, with follow-up through 2020, from the United States Renal Data System. Residential segregation was defined using the racial Index of Concentration at the Extremes and classified into tertiles (predominantly Black, mixed, or predominantly White neighborhoods). Primary outcomes were referral within 12 months of KRT initiation (among individuals initiating KRT) and evaluation within 6 months of referral (among all referred individuals), determined by linkage of the United States Renal Data System to the Early Steps to Transplant Access Registry. Secondary outcomes included waitlisting (among evaluated individuals) and living or deceased donor transplant (among waitlisted individuals). The association between residential segregation and each outcome was assessed using multivariable Cox models with robust sandwich variance estimators.

Results

In models adjusted for clinical factors, individuals living in predominantly Black or mixed (versus predominantly White) neighborhoods were 8% (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.92 [0.88 to 0.96]) and 5% (aHR, 0.95 [0.91 to 0.99]) less likely to be referred for a kidney transplant, 18% (aHR, 0.82 [0.76 to 0.90]) and 9% (aHR, 0.91 [0.84 to 0.98]) less likely to be waitlisted among those who started evaluation, and 54% (aHR, 0.46 [0.36 to 0.58]) and 24% (aHR, 0.76 [0.63 to 0.93]) less likely to receive a living donor kidney transplant among those who were waitlisted, respectively. For other transplant steps, associations were nonsignificant.

Conclusions

Individuals with ESKD living in historically and currently marginalized communities in the Southeast United States have reduced access to important steps along the transplant care continuum.

Although various studies have evaluated individual factors that influence meat discoloration, limited research has assessed the effects of multiple ground beef cold chain parameters on color. This study evaluated the combined effects of storage temperature, storage time, display temperature, and display time on ground beef color and economic losses due to poor cold chain management. Fresh ground beef chubs (81% lean) were randomly assigned to combinations of 3 storage temperatures (0, 4.5, and 8.9°C), 4 storage times (0, 4, 8, and 12 d), and 3 display temperatures (0, 4.5, and 8.9°C). Visual color was measured every 24 h and a* was measured every 6 h during the 48 h display period. Storage at 0°C minimized discoloration during display compared with storage at 4.5 and 8.9°C. Longer storage times at 0°C did not increase discoloration, whereas prolonged storage at 4.5 and 8.9°C decreased color stability during display. Economic analysis suggested that expected sales loss due to discoloration is positively correlated with storage days, storage temperature, and display temperature. Ground beef stored and displayed at 0°C is shown to minimize expected sales loss with an average loss of $0.29/kg or 2.8% of average retail value. Our results suggest that the total losses to U.S. retailers from cold chain mismanagement are expected to range from $630 million to $1.33 billion when compared with storage and display at 0°C. Simultaneous control of all cold chain parameters is essential for maximizing ground beef color and shelf life

Colo: o lugar do livro e da literatura na infância
Authors: Parreiras Ninfa
Published: August 2024

A proposta da nossa reflexão em Colo: o lugar do livro e da literatura na infância é pensar a literatura infantil, seu desenvolvimento no país e seu alcance em bibliotecas e escolas. Que literatura é esta? O que a distingue do livro? Quem é a criança leitora? Conceber o colo como espaço de acolhimento para o bebê e a leitura ajuda a romper paradigmas e ler em voz alta para os bebês e as crianças, cantar e contar histórias. E, principalmente, valorizar e respeitar os sons aparentemente sem sentido como uma linguagem em construção. Incluir a família como responsável pela promoção da leitura é dever dos educadores comprometidos com a democratização da arte literária. O brinquedo é destacado como o objeto primordial da infância, assim como a presença dele na literatura. Ou seja, o jogar, a fantasia e a possibilidade de imaginação são, de fato, elementos preponderantes da literatura infantil. São citados autores da psicanálise que nos ajudam a entender a infância e aspectos da literatura a ela destinada, como Sigmund Freud, Sándor Ferenczi, Donald W. Winnicott, bem como os pensadores Walter Benjamin e Roland Barthes. Valorizamos o olhar e a escuta como gestos de acolhimento às crianças e de aproximação delas à arte da palavra.
Educação inclusiva: já se falou muito sobre ela?
Authors: Padilha Anna Maria Lunardi
Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste texto é fornecer elementos para uma reflexão crítica acerca do que é hoje denominado “educação inclusiva”, especialmente em relação aos seguintes aspectos: o direito de todas as crianças e jovens a uma educação de qualidade; os equívocos da assim chamada inclusão; as lacunas na formação de professores e os aportes teóricos necessários à efetivação da educação para todos. O fato de existirem leis e resoluções que garantam a educação escolar universal, gratuita e laica para todos, inclusive para os deficientes, não vem garantindo o ensino de qualidade, ou seja, o aprendizado de conhecimentos acumulados historicamente pela humanidade. Pesquisas vêm demonstrando que a formação que professores do ensino fundamental vêm recebendo, tanto a inicial quanto a continuada, não responde às suas necessidades profissionais. Pensar a educação inclusiva exige conhecer a nossa realidade social e política, bem como dominar conhecimentos teóricos com rigor epistemológico acerca do desenvolvimento humano e do papel da escola como ato educativo. Tomamos como marcos teóricos a filosofia de Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels, a perspectiva histórico-cultural do desenvolvimento de Lev Semionovich Vigotski e a pedagogia histórico-crítica de Dermeval Saviani.
Do Estatuto Epistemológico da Filosofia da Educação: o embate entre reflexão e criação de conceitos
Authors: Severino Antonio Joaquim
Published: August 2024

Buscando clarear o estatuto da Filosofia da Educação, o ensaio aborda a crítica que a concepção da Filosofia de Educação como criação de conceitos endereça àquela que a vê como reflexão sobre os problemas educacionais. Defende a posição de acordo com a qual não ocorre incompatibilidade entre essas duas concepções, entendidas então como complementares, integrando uma perspectiva hermenêutica na busca do sentido da educação.
Anotações sobre as Relações entre Teoria e Prática
Authors: Veiga-Neto Alfredo
Published: August 2024

Este artigo discute as relações entre teoria e prática, uma questão muito comum no campo da prática e da pesquisa educacionais. Na imensa maioria das vezes, tais relações são vistas como um problema: enquanto que muitos defendem a primazia da teoria sobre a prática, outros vão no sentido contrário. Neste texto, argumenta-se que esse é um falso problema, se ele não for examinado a partir das bases epistemológicas usuais, mas sim a partir de pressupostos que levem em conta suas raízes etimológicas, históricas e filosóficas. Os Estudos Foucaultianos, colocando em questão aquelas bases epistemológicas usuais, nos fornecem elementos que levam a discussão para muito além do senso comum e das epistemologias tradicionais. Desse modo, as relações entre teoria e prática são ressignificadas, ficando claras a indissociabilidade entre ambas e a ausência de primazia de uma sobre a outra.
Habitar poeticamente a educação: notas sobre a relação entre potência e temporalidade
Authors: López Maximiliano Valerio
Published: August 2024

A educação se encontra intimamente ligada à idéia de possibilidade, não necessariamente à idéia de futuro. O futuro é apenas a forma em que nossa sociedade (moderna) tem dado direção e sentido ao problema do possível. Hoje, urge libertar a educação de sua inexorável referência ao futuro para poder abrir nela efetivos espaços de possibilidade. Cabe a nós, contemporâneos, pensar o “possível” de maneira mais radical, desatrelando-o de sua unívoca referência ao futuro. Cabe a nós liberar as crianças, os conteúdos, os procedimentos, as normas, os rituais e, em geral, todos os conceitos, emoções e gestos pedagógicos de sua monótona e implacável remissão ao futuro. Cabe a nós derramar um pingo de perenidade nisso que chamamos educação
Intersubjetividade e Educação: O Estatuto do Olhar nas Relações Educativas. Uma Reflexão a partir da fenomenologia existencial de Sartre
Authors: Danelon Márcio
Published: August 2024

A educação é uma relação dialógica. Se é possível ao homem auto-instruir, não é, de outra forma, possível a ele auto-educar, pois a educação pressupõe uma alteridade que apresente o mundo da cultura historicamente produzida para o outro. À medida que a educação é relação intersubjetiva, o olhar presente nessas subjetividades se encontra na arena do mundo. Isso demarcado, constitui-se em nosso objetivo demarcar uma fenomenologia do olhar a partir do referencial teórico da filosofia existencial de Sartre, com a finalidade de constituí-la como ferramenta na nossa apreciação da educação como um momento privilegiado em que olhares emergem no cotidiano das experiências educativas. A partir da premissa de que olhar é apreender o outro, queremos potencializar a educação como um momento em que olhares se entrecruzam, conflitos aparecem, subjetividades são produzidas, consciências se formam, enfim, pessoas - educadores e educados – vivenciam, num horizonte de infinitos olhares, a experiência existencial do olhar e educar.
Problemas e Desafios para a Produção do Conhecimento em Educação: Fundamentos Filosóficos
Authors: Mendonça Samuel
Published: August 2024

Examinamos, neste artigo, a importância dos fundamentos filosóficos para a produção do conhecimento em educação perpassando aspectos do racionalismo, do empirismo e de discussões em torno dos paradigmas, no sentido de explicitar que a insegurança deve ser assumida, de forma segura e rigorosa, nos tempos atuais, para a produção do conhecimento educacional. A discussão sobre os problemas e desafios para a produção do conhecimento educacional reivindica que se questione, inicialmente, a própria noção de conhecimento. No entanto, esta noção é tão problemática que, por meio da interpretação, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) enfatiza os riscos de se assumir a verdade como universal e derradeira. O conhecimento, a experiência e os paradigmas dizem respeito a aspectos que fundamentam as discussões sobre os desafios para a produção do conhecimento em educação. A interpretação, em especial, o cuidado em não assumir a verdade como dogmática, refere-se ao principal desafio e problema para a produção do conhecimento em educação.
Filosofia da Educação, Exercícios Espirituais e Arte de Existência
Authors: Genis Andrea Díaz , Gallo Sílvio
Published: August 2024

Na última parte da obra de Michel Foucault, a partir do curso A Hermenêutica do Sujeito e dos dois que se seguiram a ele (O Governo de Si e dos Outros e A Coragem da Verdade), aparece uma possível leitura da filosofia como exercício espiritual e arte de existência. Tal leitura é influenciada, entre outros, por Pierre Hadot, especialista no pensamento antigo. A filosofia deixa de ser pensada como tendo seu foco apenas na criação de conceitos, saberes e sistemas de ideias ou pensamentos, como um exercício puramente racional. Desta perspectiva, no coração mesmo da filosofia antiga, encontramos a perspectiva educativa (ou formativa) do gênero humano. Tudo isso nos leva a pensar uma filosofia da educação mais abrangente, que entenderá a filosofia como pedagogia do gênero humano, que ainda que não descarte seu vetor teórico e conceitual, entende que filosofia e educação identificam-se, tendo como foco problemático a vida mesma.

Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo explicitar a contribuição da prática do registro e da documentação pedagógica nos processos de formação contínua em serviço de professores, com base em estudo de caso realizado em uma escola municipal de educação infantil de São Paulo. Partimos do conceito de documentação pedagógica como atividade de recuperação, escuta e reelaboração da experiência por meio da narração de um percurso e da explicitação de pressupostos das escolhas realizadas. Como resultados, apontamos para a historicidade das práticas de registro e documentação construídas pelo coletivo institucional em sua interação com os desafios concretamente vivenciados pelos sujeitos. O registro e a documentação pedagógica possibilitam a construção de memória e autoria, a reflexão sobre as práticas, a comunicação e a aproximação às famílias, favorecendo os processos formativos. Palavras-chave: registro de práticas – documentação pedagógica – formação contínua – formação em serviço – desenvolvimento profissional.
Narrativas e Trajetórias de Formação: Um Diálogo Entre Literatura e Memórias
Authors: Henriques Eda Maria de Oliveira , De Azevedo Mônica Maria
Published: August 2024

O desprestígio crescente da profissão docente vem afetando um grande número de alunos que chegam às Licenciaturas com sérias dúvidas em relação à carreira docente. Diante deste quadro, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa que procurou entender de que forma os alunos significam a sua trajetória de formação. Para conhecer tais trajetórias concebeu-se uma metodologia inspirada na proposta do memorial de formação de acordo com a concepção de Passeggi. Para deflagrar as narrativas utilizou-se o potencial discursivo e produtor de sentidos de crônicas da literatura brasileira, com as contribuições de Benjamin, Vygotsky e Iser. A partir da leitura de uma crônica, os alunos tornaram suas trajetórias um espaço de narrativa, análise e reflexão.

Cansadas de esperar Godot quebramos os espelhos
Authors: Pérez Carmen Lúcia Vidal , Alves Luciana Pires
Published: August 2024

As práticas pedagógicas disseminadas no cotidiano escolar respondem/correspondem a uma concepção de cognição que expulsa dos bancos escolares a imaginação, o rememorar, a herança cultural e os modos de fazer de todos aqueles que não se limitam a quantificar e ou pensar de forma a classificar, segregar, separar e ordenar o conhecimento. O modelo cognitivo escolar deixa de fora possibilidades de conhecer de diferentes grupos sociais que beberam em outra tradição, desprezando suas formas de aprender, colocando a margem outros conhecimentos e outros processos cognitivos. A busca por práticas pedagógicas mais justas dá visibilidade à injustiça cognitiva, que se faz sentir na escola quando os sistemas de significação, os saberes e as práticas culturais são sufocados ou historicamente desvalorizados em nome do progresso ou de uma única forma de ser e estar no mundo. Questionar o modelo de conhecimento fundado na representação é questionar o fracasso da escola. Na pesquisa nos dobramos sobre as questões relativas à formulação de novas possibilidades para a ação educativa da escola a partir da revisão-ampliação do conceito de cognição, articulando-o a uma perspectiva político-epistemológica fundada na concepção de injustiças cognitiva.

Unraveling Alzheimer’s Disease Classification with Deep Learning: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: V Arpitha
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disease that progresses over time and is the primary global cause of dementia. Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential for therapeutic and interventional success. Conventional approaches, like clinical evaluations and neuroimaging procedures, are not always able to detect the illness at an early stage. This paper provides an extensive overview of current developments in using deep learning methods for AD early diagnosis and Identification. Numerous approaches have been put up, utilizing diverse forms of data such as MRI scans, eye-tracking actions, and text data that is clinically significant. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep neural networks (DNNs), and long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) are just a few of the deep learning designs used by these models, which highlight how flexible and adaptive these methods are. Using cutting-edge methods to extract discriminative features from the data, feature extraction and selection have become essential components of these models. Additionally, a number of studies have concentrated on improving model performance through the use of methods such as depth-wise convolutional procedures, ensemble learning approaches, and particle swarm optimization for hyperparameter tweaking. Even with high accuracy rates attained, there is still opportunity for development, particularly with regard to managing data scarcity and model interpretability. This survey indicates possible routes for future research and offers insightful information about the state of deep learning applications in AD categorization.

Published: August 2024

The research was aimed to examine the effect of different concentration of KNO3 and fruit maturitylevel on the seed viability of papaya. This research used Completely Randomized Design (CRD)factorial with two main treatments. The first treatment was fruit maturity level (A0 : 75% dan A1 :100%). The second treatment was concentration of KNO3 (B1 = 0 M ; B2 = 0,05 M ; B3 = 0,1 M ; B4 =0,15 M ; B5 = 0,2 M). Seedling parameters observed were germination rate, seed growth rate, vigourindex, and maximum growth potential. Nursery parameters observed were plant height and leaf area.Data were analyzed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test(DMRT) at 5%. The interaction between fruit maturity and KNO3 concentration showed significantly ingermination rate, seed growth rate, vigour index, maximum growth potential and plant height. Leafarea were only affected by KNO3 concentration. This showed that fruit maturity level and KNO3concentration were significantly affects seed viability.

Published: August 2024

Banana plants are an annua horticultural crops that has production capability without depend on the season and are widely cultivated in the tropic or subtropic areas. Tissue culture can produce good quality banana seedling in large quantities. Banana planlets from tissue culture require appropriate growing media and growth regulators such as auxin to stimulate their metabolic systems. The research aim to examine effect of IAA auxin hormone concentration, composition sand: compost: husk charcoal and its interactions on the growth of raja bulu banana plantlets. The research was conducted in July - September 2019 at Plant Physiology and Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Animal and Agricultural Sciences, Diponegoro University, Semarang. The study used a complete randomized factorial design 4x2 with 5 replications. The first factor was IAA concentration (K) consists of 4 levels, K0: 0 ppm, K1: 30 ppm, K2: 60 ppm, K3: 90 ppm. The second factor was composition of growing media (M), M0: sand: compost: husk charcoal (1: 1: 1) and M1: sand: compost: husk charcoal (1: 1: 2). Data were analyzed by F test and proceeded by DMRT test at the level of 5%. The results showed that IAA significantly affected stem diameter, number of leaves, chlorophyll content and nitrate reductase activity of banana seedlings. The treatment of growing media significantly affected plant height and number of leaves. Concentration of 30 ppm IAA at all growing media increased significantly on stem diameter, number of leaves, chlorophyll content and nitrate reductase activity.

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of organic and inorganic fertilization and to obtain the right dose of organic and inorganic fertilizers for the growth and production of seed cotton plants. The research was designed using a Randomized Group Design with 8 treatments repeated 5 times. The treatments were inorganic fertilizer Balittas package dose (100 kg N + 37.5 kg P2O5 + 37.5 kg K2O), Balittas package dose treatment with the addition of cottonseed cake bokashi, Balittas package dose with the addition of cow manure, Balittas package dose with the addition of cottonseed cake bokashi and cow manure and treatment with a dose of ½ Balittas package with the addition of organic fertilizers mentioned above, and treatment only with the use of organic fertilizers. The results showed that the treatment of organic and inorganic fertilizers was very effective in increasing the growth and production of cotton plants. The fertilization dose of Balittas package (100 kg N + 37.5 kg P2O5 + 37.5 kg K2O) + cottonseed cake bokashi + cow pukan gave better growth and production compared to other treatments, but the fertilization treatment of ½ dose of Balittas package (50 kg N + 18.75 kg P2O5 + 18.75 kg K2O) + cottonseed cake bokashi tended to be more efficient.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a widely consumed and cultivated fruit in Indonesia, cherished for its numerous benefits, high economic value, and short plant life. To enhance watermelon quality, plant breeding is employed, aiming to develop superior hybrid varieties. This study, conducted between September and November 2022 on PT. Aditya Sentana Agro's experimental land, evaluated candidate hybrid watermelon varieties (codes 3078, 3079, 3080, 2844, 2845) against comparison varieties (Winda, Mardi, Black Panther, Palguna). Using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with one genetic factor at 9 levels, repeated 3 times, a total of 27 experimental units were established, each consisting of 10 plants, summing up to 270 plants. Qualitative variables such as fruit skin color, pattern color, flesh color, and shape, along with quantitative variables like fruit weight, length, diameter, dissolved solids, flowering day, skin thickness, and percentage of fruit damage, were observed. The research revealed variations in fruit weight, length, diameter, dissolved solids, and flowering day among the different varieties. Promising candidates for new varieties were identified as codes 2845 and 3078 based on these quantitative traits. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential advancements in watermelon breeding, emphasizing the importance of selecting varieties with desirable characteristics for improved agricultural outcomes.

The research was conducted for 4 months from September 23 to December 13, 2022 in one of the experimental fields owned by PT Aditya Sentana Agro. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the 2 candidate varieties CI-88 and CI-87 of kyuri cucumber tested would show significant differences in characters from 3 comparison varieties F1 MK 01, F1 MK 02, F1 MK 03 and to determine whether the results obtained from the 2 candidate varieties CI-88 and CI-87 of kyuri cucumber to be used as varieties and produced. This study consisted of 2 genotypes of hybrid variety candidates CI-88 and CI-87 and 3 comparison varieties namely F1 MK 01, F1 MK 02 and F1 MK 03 which were used as treatments. The three comparison varieties were used because they were in high demand in the market so that they had a high selling value and had a good response from farmers. Qualitative characteristics observed were stem shape, leaf shape, flower color, fruit shape, fruit skin color, fruit flesh color, and fruit taste test. The results of observations of qualitative character traits are presented in the form of tables and picture documentation. The results of quantitative characterization observations include stem diameter, fruit weight per plant, fruit weight per fruit, fruit diameter, fruit length, number of fruits per plant, leaf width, leaf length, age from flowering and age from harvest. The results of the two candidate varieties tested have the opportunity to be developed and registered as new varieties because the results obtained are comparable to the comparator varieties already on the market..
Utopia e religião: nas sendas filosóficas de Ernst Bloch
Authors: Schütz Rosalvo , Dietschy Beat
Published: August 2024

Este livro reúne textos oriundos de diferentes nacionalidades, sobre a relação entre religião e utopia a partir do pensamento do filósofo Ernst Bloch. Para Bloch, as religiões são portadoras de uma espécie de ‘caixa de tesouros’ da humanidade, preciosidades ainda ocultas, mas, de alguma forma, já disponíveis. Para ele, a crítica ao uso ideológico das religiões é o caminho mais seguro para chegarmos até estes tesouros, desvendando seus conteúdos subversivos, humanamente viáveis. Porém, como não se cansa de afirmar, é preciso ter cuidado para que a crítica não seja rasa, vulgar e preconceituosa. Muitos conteúdos que estariam emergindo nas religiões seriam conteúdos humanos inéditos, autênticos e não liquidados pelas ideologias, passíveis, portanto, de serem herdados numa perspectiva subversiva, libertária e emancipatória! Além disso, o pensamento crítico e filosófico, assim como uma práxis social e política correspondentes, podem, segundo Bloch, ser enriquecidos, tanto por estes conteúdos, quanto pela herança de um teor messiânico autêntico, tão fortemente presente nas religiões e tão pouco valorizado em outras formas de pensamento e ação. Ou seja, tanto a crítica ao uso ideológico das religiões quanto o fortalecimento do pensamento crítico através das possíveis heranças de conteúdos humanos intactos, são possibilidades indicadas. A importância do pensamento de Bloch para a filosofia e teologia da libertação também são abordadas explicitamente. O texto final é uma palestra, inédita em língua portuguesa, proferida pelo próprio E. Bloch, sobre o tema, em um encontro de estudantes católicos em 1966, na cidade de Darmstadt/Alemanha.

Authors: Dorogova I.E.
Published: August 2024

The author considers the principles of construction, the structure of a software and mathematical model of the Earth`s crust’s movements. It is designed to ensure the maintenance of the state reference frame relevance, the establishment and maintenance of the national reference systems’ relationship with international ones for the Russian Federation’s territory. The software implementation should include mathematical models of geodynamic processes for the state’s territory and algorithms for taking them into account for determining coordinates in a given frame of reference. The author presents a general scheme of the above-mentioned model, which consists of several layers. The first base layer containing a model of the tectonic blocks movement and complemented by those of local solutions. Four stages of the model are described. The mathematical basis and software tools are considered. Employing of the first solution of the crust movements software-mathematical model for the Russian Federation’s territory is presented. It is based on that of lithospheric plates motion NNR-MORVEL56. The results of determining the Earth`s crust’s points velocities are compared with those of the Plate Motion Calculator. The coincidence of the calculated values up to hundredths of a millimeter is noted
The Importance of a Champion in Leading Major Improvements in Residency Programs
Authors: Kraleti Shashank , Gibson-Oliver Lauren , Jarrett Diane M.
Published: August 2024

Background and Objectives: Residency programs are expected to meet many requirements in training their residents, including providing adequate numbers of pediatric visits and procedures opportunities. In the residency program studied here, these numbers were inadequate, despite the efforts of faculty members over the years. A self-designated faculty champion (with traits including vision, persuasiveness, proactivity, and tenacity) launched a series of clinical initiatives to combat these problems.
Methods: The number of pediatric visits in the Family Medical Center (FMC) were tracked and compared from 2012, prior to the intervention led by the faculty champion, through 2023. The number of procedures performed in the FMC were tracked and compared from 2015, when the procedures-only clinic was launched by the faculty champion, through 2023.
Results: The number of pediatric visits in the FMC in 2012–2013 was a total of 12. By 2022–2023, that number had grown to 1,454. The number of procedures in the FMC was four in 2015–2016, but by 2022–2023 had grown to 470. The improved numbers support competency-based medical education, with increased faculty observation, teaching, and evaluation. For procedures training, the improved numbers support faculty members in using the Procedural Competency Assessment Tools to evaluate resident performance.
Conclusions: A faculty champion who is interested, self-motivated, persistent, and focused on leading the project from beginning to end can bring about significant improvements in a residency program, despite the program’s track record of difficulty in making such improvements.
The dilemmas of education policy public funding system in the context of the I and the European Union programming period
Authors: Kowalska Iwona
Published: August 2024

Polands membership in the European Union determines the frames of our countrys education policy. On one hand, it should be conducive to the implementation of knowledge-based economy (investment in the future of next generations/support for innovations), on the other hand it should support policies aiming ay diminishing the scale of unemployment being closely related to the citizens spheres of poverty (investment to meet current needs/equalizing incomes). This article is focused on the realization of the process of lifelong learning using the EU funds as a component of state education policy. The aim of the paper is to present three main dilemmas of the system of education policy funding from the EU funds. These are:- varying concepts of the European funds management: focusing on the result versus administrative procedures, -discrepancies in the assessment of the validity of projects qualified for funding between the evaluators (assessors and experts of the Ministry of Regional Development) and the assessed (project applicants), - imbalance of supply and demand - the final beneficiaries interest and the proposed EU support forms
