Published: August 2024

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. Children with ASD often face challenges in the development of cognitive skills, which play a crucial role in academic achievement, adaptive functioning, and overall quality of life. This study introduces an innovative approach to aid early childhood individuals diagnosed with ASD in recognizing their daily routines by means of a visual interactive board game. The developed visual interactive board game, although the design is simple, is meticulously structured to foster and enhance cognitive skills, specifically focusing on language development and improvement in adaptive behavior. The efficacy of this medium was examined through a single-case method utilizing the Single Subject Research (SSR) experimental approach. The research involved three children aged 4-5 years with an ASD diagnosis, employing a patterned B1-I-B2 design. The results of this study underline the potential of interactive board games as an engaging tool for fostering cognitive skills in early childhood autism.

Authors: da Rocha Camila Avancini , Camargo Ely Eduardo Saranz
Published: August 2024

The irrational use of medicines is strongly influenced by issues such as self-medication, advertising and biased advertising. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), antimicrobials have often been used inappropriately, without observing some criteria, such as: time of use, suggested effective dosage, correct indications, among others, can accelerate the defense mechanisms of bacteria, causing the drug to lose its efficiency. Bacterial resistance is a global health problem, rapidly growing and with varying prevalence between countries, and increasingly becoming a serious problem. The irrational use of antimicrobials can lead to bacteria adapting and multiplying, increasing and promoting antibiotic resistance. Under the practice of storing medicines, it was observed that, according to the data obtained from the forms, in Teixeirópolis, approximately 78%, that is, 39 people interviewed, out of a total of 50, have the habit of storing medicines at home, while in Mirante da Serra 42 (84%) interviewees stated that they do this practice and in the municipality of Ji-Paraná 81 (81%) of the 100 interviewees. Therefore, it is important that there are always permanent actions aimed at health education, which are of a practical and effective nature, capable of involving the entire community so that situations such as the one described in our study are minimized.

The present critical theoretical study aimed to reflect on the process of restructuring mental health in Brazil. As a methodology, the development of a study of theoretical reflection was outlined, with the perspective of discussing the phenomenon of the Brazilian psychiatric reform, taking into account the studies related to the theme, and that would dialogue about such scientific knowledge. The process of psychiatric reform, which began in the 90s, aimed to combat imprisonment through the deinstitutionalization of individuals with a clinical diagnosis of mental illnesses, in the search to bring back to society, as citizens, individuals with mental illnesses, as well as to restructure the psychiatric health model in the country. Such dynamics were based on the ideals of humanization. The expansion of the Psychosocial Care Centers, and consequently, the decrease in the percentage of beds in psychiatric hospitals, accompanied by changes in the labor process, are presented as consequences of this process.

Authors: de Mendonça Pedro Henrique Teodoro , Ignacio Antonio Augusto , Conti Giuvane , Borba Carlos Eduardo , Nakajima Evandro Alves
Published: August 2024

This work presents the development of a Python library "pyMono" for the estimation of parameters of adsorption isothermal models. Adsorption, which began to be studied in the eighteenth century, is crucial for various industrial and environmental applications. In the hierarchical construction of a mathematical model to represent the adsorption process, the first step is the definition of an adsorption isotherm model. Theoretical models such as Langmuir isotherms, Sips, Toth, BET and GAB, are fundamental to understandand predict the adsorption equilibrium at the gas-solid and liquid-solid interfaces. The pyMono library allows the creation and analysis of experimental isotherms in a simple, fast and free way, supporting several theoretical models. It is designed to be used in any Python 3.0 environment, requiring additional libraries such as numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and csv. The software makes it possible to create isotherms directly from pressure/concentration and adsorbed quantity lists or by importing .xlsx or .csv files. In addition, it offers functions for parameter estimation, error calculation, and visual comparison between experimental and simulated data. To validate the tool, adsorption data from materials from recent studies were used, covering different adsorbents and experimental conditions. The validation included the analysis of 40 isotherms of articles published between 2022 and 2023, using different theoretical models to determine the accuracy of the estimated parameters, for which the mean absolute errorwas less than 10% were obtained by at least one model. pyMono proved to be effective in obtaining adsorption parameters, contributing to the advancement of studies in this area. The work highlights the importance of adsorption in purification and separation processes in industry, and the developed library represents a valuable tool for researchers working with adsorption

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Clinical outcomes after a neurological emergency result worse for cancer patients and may result in critical illness requiring admission to the Intensive Care Unit. Neurobioethics and bioethics are effective tools to understand and provide the best care for this type of patient.Objective: to reflect on elements of interest related to bioethics and neurobioethics in the oncological patient with neurological complications.Development: neurobioethics is a scientific discipline derived from a multidisciplinary approach based on bioethics, which is applied to ethical questions regarding its ontology and its teleological organicity for human life. In the severe neuro-oncological patient, devoid of any integral neurological function due to central nervous system involvement, neurobioethics applies scientific knowledge and ethical behavior to medical care, responding to the neurocritical patient.Conclusions: comprehensive care of patients with cancer and severe neurological involvement requires scientific, ethical and moral knowledge that allows the application of the best therapeutic strategy, human and family care, and short- and long-term prognosis. Neurobioethics promises these tools while providing these patients with respect, compassion, care and empathy. However, it still needs further studies involving this discipline in neuro-oncologic intensive care.

Published: August 2024

An experiment was conducted to study the impact of natural enemies on pests of cotton, when it was grown as monocrop and as intercrop with soybean. A comparison of diversity and abundance of pests and natural enemies of cotton monocrop in Rajendranagar (unprotected) and Adilabad (protected) was also made. Observations on pests and natural enemies were taken by using various sampling methods and correlation between pest and natural enemy population were estimated. Results revealed that in intercropped cotton, Coccinellidae, Spiders, Staphylinidae and Anthocoridae were the major predator taxa which have impacted the population levels of sucking pest’s taxa such as Cicadellidae, Aleyrodidae Aphididae, Miridae and Thripidae. However, in mono-cropped cotton, Spiders found to have little or no impact on pest population, suggesting plant diversification is playing crucial in predators’ activity. Further, the diversity of predators in un-sprayed Rajendranagar fields were comparatively higher (1.66) than the sprayed Adilabad cotton fields (1.62). Similarly, the evenness of predators in un-sprayed Rajendranagar fields were comparatively higher (1.37) than the sprayed Adilabad cotton fields (1.12). These results suggest that, intra crop diversification without or minimal use of insecticides allows the natural enemies to perform their part of job as natural regulates of pest populations which minimizes the cost of cultivation with added benefit from the intercrop.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are a type of nanomaterials known for their antimicrobial and disinfectant properties due to their detrimental effects on targeted cells. This study investigated the delivery of a novel therapeutic system based on chitosan-coated silver nanoparticles (Ch-Ag NPs) for Tamoxifen to MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The Ag NPs were synthesized from Adenia hondala tuber extract and coated with chitosan to form Ch-Ag NPs. Tamoxifen was loaded onto these nanoparticles to create Tam-Ch-AgNPs, functioning as a drug delivery system. Apoptosis induction was confirmed through annexin V staining and analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential. Cell cycle analysis showed G2/M phase arrest in Tam-Ch-AgNPs-treated cells, indicating apoptosis induction. The inhibition of cancer cell growth by Tam-Ch-AgNPs suggests potential for developing eco-friendly therapeutic agents in nano medicine, particularly for cancer treatment, prompting further research in this field.

Although mortgage loans are part of a unique financial system, they are within the scope of personal loans in terms of banks, users, and resource allocation in the economy. It is relatively stronger than other loans due to the guarantee based on real estate, and this guarantee arises spontaneously due to the methods applied.

Psychological safety is a concept that has become extremely popular in the management and leadership literature over the past several years. Despite its rising prominence, the term can be misleading, and it is not clear if it holds promise for those leading in the armed forces. This article clarifies the concept of psychological safety and highlights its importance to teams and organizations that operate in contexts like the military. The authors also review antecedents to psychological safety – with a focus on how military leaders can facilitate psychological safety in the teams and organizations they lead. Finally, psychological safety is not a panacea. In fact, high psychological safety in a military context could produce unintended negative outcomes. Therefore, the authors offer suggestions for military leaders to consider when focusing on psychological safety in their formations and propose areas for future research involving psychological safety in the armed forces and other similar organizations.
La persona al centro dell’intelligenza artificiale. Oltre „lo scacco delle leggi di Asimov”
Authors: Krienke Markus
Published: August 2024

L’autore in dialogo virtuale e trasversale con diverse posizioni, riflette su come affer­mare nell’ambiente dell’IA l’unicità e irriducibilità della dignità della persona, nel tentativo di trovare un modo etico-istituzionale per affermare nell’ambito dell’infosfera ciò che “al di fuori di essa” è la realtà della persona come coscienza incarnata. Di fronte allo sviluppo dell’IA abbiamo bisogno „niente di meno che di un’antropologia filosofica in linea coi nostri tempi, ovvero, una comprensione filosofica della natura umana che sia adeguata all’era digitale e alle nostre società dell’informazione”.
Sztuczna inteligencja a duszpasterstwo.Obietnice – zagrożenia – wyzwania
Authors: Przygoda Wiesław
Published: August 2024

Sztuczna inteligencja należy niewątpliwie do najbardziej wpływowych i dynamicz­nie rozwijających się zjawisk współczesności. Na uniwersytetach są tworzone nowe kierunki stu­diów, a menadżerowie wprowadzają nieustannie najnowsze rozwiązania wykorzystujące sztucz­ną inteligencję do zarządzania przedsiębiorstwami, marketingu, reklamy i promocji, przy czym chodzi nie tylko o promocję różnych wystawionych na sprzedaż produktów materialnych i no­wych technologii, lecz także groźnych ideologii, niewyobrażalnych dotąd sposobów wpływania na myślenie ludzi, praktycznych sposobów przejmowania i sprawowania władzy. Nas interesuje znalezienie odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: Czy sztuczna inteligencja ma jakiś związek z po­sługą duszpasterską Kościoła, a jeśli tak, to w jakich obszarach tejże działalności? Jakie są walory sztucznej inteligencji możliwe do wykorzystania w duszpasterstwie, a jakie zagrożenia? Jeżeli są zagrożenia, to jakie wyzwania formacyjne należy podejmować w działalności zbawczej Kościoła? Próba odpowiedzi na te pytania zostanie podjęta na podstawie pierwszych, na razie nielicznych, wypowiedzi Urzędu Nauczycielskiego Kościoła i nieco liczniejszych już opracowań teologicznych tego zagadnienia.
Filozofia sztucznej inteligencji – podstawowe koncepcje i problemy
Authors: Szopa Rafał
Published: August 2024

Filozofia sztucznej inteligencji jest obecnie jedną z wiodących dziedzin w filozofii ze względu na dynamiczny rozwój systemów AI. Od około 2018 r. sztuczna inteligencja rozwija się w kierunku, który skłania do myślenia, czy aby wielkie modele językowe nie stały się już jak człowiek pod względem rozumienia rzeczywistości czy wręcz posiadania świadomości i zdolności odczuwania. Dyskusja na ten temat jest oparta o implicite przyjmowane założenia odnośnie do powstania umysłu na drodze emergentyzmu. Nie ma jednak narzędzi naukowych do oceny, czy umysł może wyłonić się z materii, tak samo jak nie ma narzędzi do potwierdzenia istnienia ludz­kiej duszy. I tu, i tu jest wiara. Istnienie emergentnego umysłu jest tak samo prawdopodobne, jak istnienie duszy stworzonej przez Boga, z jedną różnicą: istnienie duszy daje nadzieję na zbawienie.
