Authors: Olejarz Marzena , Olejarz Anna
Published: September 2023

Wyniki badań laboratoryjnych odgrywają kluczową rolę w diagnostyce i leczeniu pacjenta. Około 60–70% decyzji lekarskich opiera się na wynikach pochodzących z laboratorium. Zapewnienie wysokiej jakości uzyskiwanych wyników badań stało się codziennym wymogiem w medycznym laboratorium diagnostycznym. Efektywność procesu diagnostycznego zależy od trzech faz: przedanalitycznej (przedlaboratoryjnej), analitycznej (laboratoryjnej) oraz postanalitycznej (polaboratoryjnej). Na wiarygodność otrzymywanych wyników ma wpływ wiele czynników, w tym głównie te, które powstają przed dotarciem próbki do laboratorium. Szacuje się, że błędy generowane w fazie przedanalitycznej stanowią około 75% wszystkich błędów laboratoryjnych. Ważna jest świadomość problemu i odpowiednia znajomość potencjalnych źródeł błędów, co stanowi niezbędny warunek ich uniknięcia. Stąd za cel niniejszej pracy przyjęto omówienie błędów na etapie przedlaboratoryjnym.

Published: September 2023

The retail sector has encountered formidable challenges in recent years, particularly concerning food sustainability and the need for reduced manpower, which have been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The inventory management process involves critical tasks such as environment checking, product inspection, and stock arrangement, all of which are essential for maintaining product quality. Price label management is another crucial aspect of retail operations, providing key information to potential customers. However, the labor-intensive process of installing and replacing price labels, as well as adapting to market trends, poses efficiency and sustainability concerns. To address the aforementioned challenges, we have proposed an IoT-based inventory management system that consists of three interconnected components: a smart shelf that keeps real-time track of humidity, temperature, and air index; electronic shelf labeling that allows for easy updating of product information from mobile/PC devices; and RFID-based stock sorting to track product in/out and location. Hence, the proposed integrated solution significantly enhances operational efficiency, reduces overall workload, optimizes inventory management tasks, streamlines operations, and mitigates financial losses associated with inefficient processes.

The organic residue from gardens, which is generally not used efficiently, has been the central focus of this research work. That is why the present work used the factorial methodology in the optimization of the production of Pleurotus afín ostreatus using an organic residue, with the primary objective of using this organic residue as a substrate, adjusting it through the balance of the C/N ratio, for the specific cultivation of Pleurotus. This is one of the edible mushroom species worldwide, known for its mycelial biomass and bioactive components. The methodology comprised several stages, including propagation of the fungus, generation of seeds using barley grains, inoculation with 5% inoculum in polypropylene bags containing four different types of substrates, with five replicates for each variant. The resulting production was measured, and the nutritional analysis of the fruiting bodies obtained from the substrate with the highest productivity was carried out. The results obtained in the parameters of responses in the production of Pleurotus afin ostreatus on an organic residue by the ANOVA method were (p<0.05) and the F-values for the models of factor A (type of substrate), factor B (type of crop) and factor AB (type of substrate and crop) were 6.78, 2.99 and 6.10, respectively. The nutritional composition of the fruiting bodies obtained from this substrate was determined. These fruiting bodies exhibited a considerable water content, which reached 75.44%. On the other hand, a low concentration of carbohydrates was observed, with a value of 15.86%, and a minimal amount of fats, barely 0.13%. It is important to note that there was a particularly notable protein content, which reached 8.09% in relation to the wet weight. Finally, it is concluded that the production values obtained in this research work indicate that the best substrate for the growth of the fungus Pleurotus afín ostreatus is the organic residue S3, whose biological efficiency is among the highest values recorded (37.849%) in the cultivation of this fungus. In addition, in the optimization by means of the factorial design, it was observed that in order to have a greater productive capacity of Pleurotus afín ostreatus, it is necessary to work with a ratio of 40.13C/N and with a type of sampling per day with a mass amount of 77g.

Published: September 2023

Lightweight concrete has a density lower than conventional concrete, which ranges between 1,400-1,800 Kg/cm3. The use of lightweight concrete as a more sustainable construction material continues to be developed to reduce the weight of the building. Fly ash as a residue from coal combustion has a high SiO2 content as a cement substitute. Bottom ash with a light density can also be used as a substitute for fine aggregate. Sorptivity test in lightweight concrete aims to determine concrete's ability to absorb water and how the pores in concrete behave. Sorptivity testing was carried out by a 5x5x5(cm3) mortar sample that was immersed in water. Then the mortar was weighed based on time intervals of 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes, then continued for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 days. The results showed that the use of fly ash and bottom ash could increase the sorptivity value in the mortar up to 0.45%, where the function of the fly ash and bottom ash is to fill the pores in the mortar so that the water content that seeps into the mortar is reduced. Thus, the use of fly ash and bottom ash to support ecologically friendly and lighter building results in more sustainable material properties.

Discourse-Based Teaching in English Language Teaching at Islamic Universities in Borneo: A Critical Discourse Analysis Perspective
Authors: Fauzan Umar , Saparuddin Muhammad
Published: September 2023

This critical discourse analysis aims to uncover what ideologies emerge in English language teaching at Islamic universities in Borneo, explain how discourse-based teaching is implemented, and why discourse-based teaching is necessary for English language teaching at Islamic universities in Borneo. This is qualitative phenomenological research using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis model. The primary data sources for this research are English language lecturers and college students at universities in Borneo, namely UIN Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda, UIN Antasari Banjarmasin, IAIN Palangkaraya, and IAIN Pontianak. The researcher used several research instruments to collect the data: interviews, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The data analysis technique used in this research is the interactive model from Miles et al. with the stages of data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion. This research concludes that English language education at Islamic universities in Borneo has an ideology of character development, influenced by several factors such as the shift in character values, the spirit of nationalism, and political policies of the Ministry of Religion to maintain national unity with a religious moderation agenda, and the vision to develop graduates who have solid Islamic character. In addition, English language education aims not only to master English language skills but also to compete in the era of information technology with critical thinking skills. Therefore, English language teaching at Islamic universities in Borneo is based on a discourse approach, from lesson planning and teaching implementation to teaching evaluation. This research implies that English language teaching should not only focus on English language skills or TEFL content but also on achieving learning outcomes from the goals of the study program, students’ needs, and the roles of lecturers as educators of Islamic and national character values.
Challenges and HRM Practices within Jordanian Business Organizations
Authors: Adaileh Ali Mohammad
Published: September 2023

This paper highlights and provides a more grounded foundation for Jordan's human resource management (HRM) concept. It examines four HRM practices: enrollment and choice, preparation and advancement, execution examination and rewards and advantage; what is more, associations these practices with social components, the universe of legislative issues, judicious issues, and social characteristics, the revelations recommend that HRM in Jordan has not yet gotten due thought. The delegate selection and decision cycle could be more robust and need feasible ideas. The adequacy of even talented and qualified employees will be limited if they are not urged and roused to work. However, through HRM practices, they can be encouraged to work more diligently and more brilliantly. Use and time spent preparing and advancing are considered pointless capacities in many Arab businesses, particularly Jordanian ones. Dynamically, representatives' show and abilities can, in like manner, be impacted by HRM rehearses, which control the preparation and improvement of the affiliation's HR; Jordanian organisations and firms are managing complex issues enveloping the progression of HR, including high turnover rates and a shortfall of gifted laborers. Low spending on investigation, planning, and headway has fueled these issues. The HRM writing shows that many Arab businesses, including public and private Jordanian companies, need to pay more attention to their HRM practices.
Methods and Materials for Non-Medical Students to Enhance Medical Literature Reading
Authors: Zheng Jie , Xiong Lingsong , Luo Ruifeng
Published: September 2023

Medical English (ME) is of paramount importance both in theory and practice, and the need for professionals with high proficiency in ME has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The EMP (English for Medical Purposes) teaching methods and materials for medical students have been widely discussed, while the learning process of non-medical students is ignored. Non-medical students have various difficulties in reading medical English literature because of their different proficiency of general English and absence of medical knowledge. Considering ME’s utilitarian nature and unique lexicon and syntax, this paper discusses four main approaches to help non-medical students to enhance medical literature reading, including Johns and Davies’ TAVI approach, Divasson’s reading strategies for different types of medical prose, Pavel’s focus on grammar and lexicon, and Hamid Rushwan’s aiding tool of machine translation. Non-medical students are recommended to focus more on the practical information involved in literature than the lexical and syntactic analysis, though it is still meaningful to analyze words and sentences to get used to the common usages of lexicon and syntax. Machine translation also aids reading comprehension for non-medical students. Textbooks, journals, and multimedia vehicles are recommended for non-medical students to acquire medical English and improve their reading proficiency.
A Study on Ultrafine Dust Prediction Model Estimation Using ARIMA Model and Multiplicative SARIMA Model
Authors: An Chang-Ho , Kim Jae-Hyun , Song In-Kyu
Published: September 2023

Ultrafine dust data has seasonality. Therefore, in this study, the ARIMA model and the multiplicative SARIMA model, which are time series modeling methods, were estimated in consideration of seasonality, and the accuracy of the estimated prediction model was proposed using the MAPE measure to propose an ultrafine dust prediction model. For the ultrafine dust data used for the estimation of the ARIMA model, a seasonally adjusted estimate using the decomposition method was used assuming a multiplicative model, and the original ultrafine dust data was used for the multiplicative SARIMA model. The estimated prediction models were the ARIMA(0,1,4) model and the multiplicative   model. Residual analysis to validate the estimated ARIMA(0,1,4) model showed that the histogram of the Portmanteau statistic p-value was found to be significant. The predicted result increased in January and March, and no increase was observed from April to December. For the multiplicative  model, the significance probability of the chi-square statistic was significant at all lags. The prediction result showed that it increased in January and February, decreased continuously from March, and increased again in November. The prediction accuracy of the ARIMA (0,1,4) model was about 82.1%, and the multiplicative  model about 89.5%. The multiplicative   model was found to be about 7.4% better than ARIMA (0,1,4) in terms of the accuracy of the prediction model.

Published: September 2023

Healthcare has seen many advances in sensor technology, but with recent improvements in networks and the addition of the Internet of Things, it is even more promising. Current solutions to managing healthcare data with cloud computing may be unreliable at the most critical moments. High response latency, large volumes of data, and security are the main issues of this approach. The promising solution is fog computing, which offers an immediate response resistant to disconnections and ways to process big data using real-time analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). However, fog computing has not yet matured and there are still many challenges. This article presents for a computer scientist a systematic review of the literature on fog computing in healthcare. Articles published in six years are analysed from the service, software, hardware, information technologies and mobility with autonomy perspectives. The contribution of this study includes an analysis of recent trends, focus areas and benefits of the use of AI techniques in fog computing e-health applications.
Observations of decameter carbon radio recombination lines in several galactic directions. Part 1. Experimental study

Published: September 2023

Subject and Purpose. Since decameter carbon radio recombination lines (RRLs) were detected for the first time more than forty years ago, they have significantly extended our knowledge of the physics, kinematics and chemistry of the cold rarefied interstellar medium (ISM). A large number of these lines have been observed towards various Galactic radio sources. The present paper describes our studies of decameter carbon RRLs in such Galactic directions as the sight-lines to the S140 emission nebula and to the large volume of cold neutral hydrogen known as the GSH 139-03-69 super shell. Methods and Methodology. Observations within a 1-MHz frequency band centered at 26 MHz were performed using the UTR-2 radio telescope and a multi-channel digital correlator. The UTR-2 is still the world largest and the most sensitive low-frequency radio telescope. Results.We report the detection of decameter carbon RRL series C627α – C637α from the medium lying towards the S140 nebula. The extents of RRL forming regions have been estimated. It is suggested that RRLs in the S140 direction are formed in the local ISM lying along the line of sight. The RRL-forming region is probably associated with omnipresent diffuse neutral HI gas in the Galactic plane rather than with S140 nebula itself. Toward the GSH 139-03-69 super shell, decameter RRLs have been detected as well. Likewise, they apparently originate from the local medium lying along the sight-line. Yet, the spectrum contains a RRL component corresponding to the absorption of the cold gas of the GSH 139-03-69 itself in the ISM. Conclusions. The obtained results indicate great possibilities of decameter carbon RRLs not only for cold ISM probing but also for making a good auxiliary tool for studying large complexes of extremely cold hydrogen HI in the Galaxy.

OBJECTIVES

To determine the measurement properties of the Feeding Adequacy Scale (FAS) in young children hospitalized with bronchiolitis.

METHODS

Multicenter cohort study of infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis at children’s and community hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Caregivers and nurses completed the FAS, a 10-cm visual analog scale anchored by “not feeding at all” (score 0) and “feeding as when healthy” (score 10). The main outcome measures were feasibility, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the FAS.

RESULTS

A total of 228 children were included with an average (SD) age of 6.3 (5.4) months. Completing the FAS was feasible for caregivers and nurses, with no floor or ceiling effects. Test–retest reliability was moderate for caregivers (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 2,1 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.63–0.80) and good for nurses (ICC 2,1 0.75; 95% CI 0.62–0.83). Interrater reliability between 1 caregiver and 1 nurse was moderate (ICC 1,1 0.55; 95% CI 0.45–0.64). For construct validity, the FAS was negatively associated with length of hospital stay and positively associated with both caregiver and nurse readiness for discharge scores (P values <.0001). The FAS demonstrated clinical improvement from the first FAS score at admission to the last FAS score at discharge, with significant differences between scores for both caregivers and nurses (P values for paired t test <.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

These results provide evidence of the feasibility, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of caregiver-completed and nurse-completed FAS as a measure of feeding adequacy in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis.

The biometrics of Grey-backed Sparrow-larks Eremopterix verticalis in the handbooks are based on small samples. We summarize wing-length, tail-length and mass of a sample of 130 Grey-backed Sparrow-larks mistnetted during ringing on the farm New Holme, Hanover District, Northern Cape, South Africa, in September 2023. The habitat was Grassy Karoo with, on average, March being the month of peak annual rainfall. The sample consisted of 58 females and 72 males. We examined birds for primary moult; 5% had moulted either one or two primaries, indicating that moult was commencing in the population as a whole. This observation, set in the context of an observation made in Namibia, suggests that this species undertakes a pre-breeding moult in spring and summer, prior to breeding in late summer and autumn.

Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated with a confidence interval of 95% by Poisson regression with robust variance. Results A total of 59.5% of the elderly people were females, 50.6% were up to 69 years old and 83.7% were classified in socioeconomic status E. Moreover, 45.7% reported feeling “down” or “without perspective”; 12.1% had altered cognitive performance and 46.4% were screened as depressed by the GDS-30. Based on the GDS-30, 65.0% of the elderly people reported perception of depressive feelings associated depression, as well as 70% of them showed altered cognitive performance. In the adjusted analysis, depression evaluated by the GDS-30 was associated with self-perceived depressive feelings (PR= 2.02; 95% CI: 1.26-3.26), but not with the MMSE (PR= 1.64; 95% CI: 0.90-3.01). Conclusion There was a high prevalence of self-perceived depressive feelings and depressive symptoms identified by the GDS-30. The association between these variables points to the importance of monitoring the mental health of quilombola elderly people.

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a associação da autopercepção de sentimentos depressivos e desempenho cognitivo comprometido com a prevalência de depressão em idosos quilombolas. Métodos Estudo transversal realizado com 168 idosos de 11 comunidades de Bequimão-MA. Foram investigadas condições socioeconômicas e de saúde, como autopercepção de sentimentos depressivos, desempenho cognitivo comprometido pelo Mini Mental (MEEM) e prevalência de depressão pela Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (GDS-30). Razões de prevalência bruta e ajustada foram calculadas com intervalo de confiança de 95% por regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. Resultados A maioria dos idosos era do sexo feminino (59,5%), tinham até 69 anos (50,6%), não tinham escolaridade (54,2%) e estavam no mais baixo estrato socioeconômico (classe E= 83,7%). O relato de sentir-se “para baixo” ou “sem perspectiva” foi feito por 45,7% dos idosos; 12,1% apresentaram desempenho cognitivo comprometido e 46,4% foram identificados com depressão pela GDS-30. Foram identificados com depressão com base na GDS-30, 65,0% dos idosos que relataram autopercepção de sentimentos depressivos, e 70% daqueles com desempenho cognitivo comprometido. Na análise ajustada por condições socioeconômicas, a depressão avaliada pela GDS-30 esteve associada à autopercepção de sentimentos depressivos (RP= 2,02; IC 95%: 1,26-3,26), mas não ao MEEM (RP= 1,64; IC 95%: 0.90-3.01). Conclusão Verificou-se alta prevalência de autopercepção de sentimentos depressivos e de depressão identificada pela GDS-30. A associação entre essas variáveis aponta para a importância da triagem e manejo da saúde mental dos idosos quilombolas.

Abstract Objective To analyze the knowledge of older individuals in a municipality in the Midwestern region of Santa Catarina regarding the development of Advance Directives, their preferences regarding the available models, and the selection of a representative to make decisions on their behalf. Method Cross-sectional study carried out by providing participants with two models of Advance Directives were made available to the participants for completion and applied a questionnaire on knowledge, acceptance, and evaluation of the device. Results There were 85.63% of the participants who were unaware of the Advance Directives, 98.13% who were unaware of document models, 100% who considered model 1, more complete, to be good or acceptable, and 66.88% who indicated an adult child as its representative. When asked about the importance of preparing, making available to the population, and passing a law that regulates this right, the participants were assertive respectively by 91.88%, 91.25% and 91.25%. Conclusion Most older people were unaware of the AD models, but mentioned model 1, considering it good or acceptable. Most had no difficulties in understanding and recognized the importance of preparing and making AD available to the population, as well as the need for a law to regulate this right. There was a high proportion of participants indicating an adult child as a legal representative, emphasizing the importance of involving the family in this process. These results highlight the need to make older people aware of AD and provide clear and comprehensive models.
Informação e empreendedorismo: estudos de caso com acadêmicos brasileiros e canadenses
Authors: Fonseca Flavia , Nassif Mônica Erichsen
Published: September 2023

RESUMO Este artigo traz a informação e o empreendedorismo acadêmico como temáticas centrais, pesquisadas à luz da Biologia do Conhecer. Objetiva identificar onde está situada a informação que dá suporte à mentalidade empreendedora de acadêmicos da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), no Brasil, e Western University, no Canadá, caracterizando os ambientes familiar e acadêmico aos quais estão expostos. Baseada em dois estudos de caso, a pesquisa tem característica qualitativa e descritiva, e os dados foram coletados a partir de entrevistas estruturadas que consideraram a história de vida de sete professores da UFMG e sete ex-alunos da Western University. As principais evidências são de que a informação determinante da mentalidade empreendedora foi construída a partir de dois fatores em interação: as características biológicas dos sujeitos de pesquisa, abertos à iniciativa empreendedora, e a influência primeira do ambiente familiar, seja através de experiências de vida ou memórias de palavras e atitudes dos pais e familiares. O ambiente acadêmico também se mostrou relevante, podendo incentivar ou se apresentar como barreira ao empreendedorismo. Destaca-se a relevância da educação empreendedora, fundamental para a formação do sujeito cognoscente e decisor, em constante interação com outros sujeitos e ambientes.

ABSTRACT Scopus and Web of Science were used to evaluate papers on Physical Education worldwide and in Brazil. Most documents are published in the USA and England, Brazil being the 6th largest. Brazilians tend to publish in Brazil. Countries with a higher % of documents in Q1 journals have higher % of top 10% cited documents. Most countries increase their Top 10% score when publishing in open access, while Brazil decreases. Differentiation between country clusters is due to % documents in Q1 journals, international collaboration, Open Access, citations/paper and documents in Top 10%. Brazil researches similar topics to those worldwide. Publishing in Q1 journals, and more industry and international collaboration can increase the impact of publications by Brazilian authors.
MULHERES NEGRAS E O CICLO DA PUNIÇÃO: A MAXIMIZAÇÃO DA PENA PARA ALÉM DAS GRADES
Authors: Vitena Gabrielle
Published: September 2023

A questão central do presente texto é analisar, a partir dos relatos das mulheres egressas do sistema prisional usuárias do Escritório Social da Bahia (ESBA), a maximização da punição direcionada às mulheres negras pelo sistema penal, com foco nas reflexões sobre o racismo punitivo e a criminalização do ser mulher. O corpus da presente análise são os relatos de mulheres negras atendidas pelo Escritório Social da Bahia (ESBA) no ano de 2021. A metodologia utilizada para o estudo é a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 1977) de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com quatro egressas usuárias do órgão: Maria, Nilma, Domingas e Paula. Os relatos apresentam os extremos das dinâmicas de punição experimentados por mulheres negras e o acirramento das desigualdades que afetam diretamente esse grupo. Desse modo, os resultados apontam que as políticas e práticas penais baseiam-se na centralidade da raça e do gênero para a manutenção das dinâmicas punitivas mesmo após a experiência de aprisionamento. Portanto, o racismo punitivo se manifesta pelo agravamento da punição expressa através de uma relação violenta com a polícia, da colonialidade do sistema judiciário, da subalternidade do acesso à justiça, do encadeamento cíclico com os espaços de cumprimento da pena e das dinâmicas de apenamento em rede – além de processos de estigmatização e obstáculos no acesso à direitos.
AVANÇOS E DESAFIOS NA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO ANTIRRACISTA NO BRASIL

Published: September 2023

Considerando o contexto de celebração dos 20 anos da Lei 10.639/2003 e dos 15 anos da Lei 11.645/2008, o presente artigo oferece uma análise sobre os avanços e os desafios que perpassam a implementação da Educação Antirracista no Brasil. Na primeira seção, buscamos posicionar o racismo como um fenômeno complexo, de caráter estrutural e multidimensional, cuja abordagem no contexto escolar exige professoras/es municiadas/os com aportes teóricos e metodológicos específicos e letramento racial. Na segunda seção, examinamos publicações recentes que mapearam as principais dificuldades para a implementação da educação antirracista nas escolas e que sinalizam uma importante lacuna relativa à questão racial no campo da formação docente. Na terceira seção, focalizando a perspectiva de futuras/os professoras/es, analisamos a percepção de estudantes da graduação da Universidade de Brasília acerca da disciplina Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais como componente curricular na formação inicial de professoras/es. O exame triangulado dessas três dimensões analíticas aponta para uma relação de mútuo reforço entre as lacunas na formação inicial de professoras/es e as dificuldades para o ensino das histórias e culturas africanas, afro-brasileiras e indígenas na educação básica. A ausência e/ou oferta irregular e não obrigatória de componentes curriculares voltados para a capacitação de futuras/os professoras/es aparece como um entrave para abordagens qualificadas sobre a diversidade cultural brasileira, visando à refundação, sob bases antirracistas, de nossas relações étnico-raciais.
