Authors: SUSDARWONO ENDRO TRI
Published: August 2024

Oerip Soemohardjo was appointed second lieutenant (KNIL) on October 24, 1914 with the staamboek number 77352 contained in the Sinar Djawa daily edition of October 24, 1914, having previously graduated from the Jakarta Inlandsche Officiern School. Oerip was classified as an officer respected by all groups while serving in the KNIL. During 24 years of serving in the KNIL Oerip actually almost held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before retiring. On October 5, 1945 BKR (People's Security Agency) forces were made TKR (People's Security Army). It was to organize the TKR that the Government, which at that time was still domiciled in Jakarta, summoned Mr. Oerip, who lived as a retired Major of KNIL near Yogyakarta. Pak Oerip obtained a mandate from the Government as the Chief of General Staff to organize TKR. Lt. Gen. Oerip Soemohardjo on 12 November 1945 summoned all Division Commander and TKR regiments to attend a meeting in Yogyakarta, the new seat of the TKR Headquarters, after Jakarta was occupied by Allied troops. The main event was the election of the Great Commander. The conference was chaired by the Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Oerip Soemohardjo and proceeded smoothly, but then a tense atmosphere emerged when it was announced about an urgency that could not be postponed, forced to hold an additional meeting agenda, which was to determine / choose the candidates to be elected as the Supreme TKR Leaders

External factors, namely land grabbing, internal, namely the absence of the role and function of the cooperative. the presence of large companies has positive and negative impacts on society. The positive impact is the help of the community's economy, the lack of unemployment, the negative impact of the community losing land, and the promised plasma is not fulfilled.
Babad Nitik Sebagai Sumber Sejarah
Authors: Utama F. Galih Adi
Published: August 2024

Babad sebagai sumber primer historiografi, telah lama menjadi perdebatan di kalangan sejarawan, baik dalam maupun luar negeri, mengenai akurasi fakta peristiwa yang terkandung di dalamnya. Kadar subjektivitas, glorifikasi, dan legitimasi yang demikian tinggi menyebabkan validitas babad diragukan, terlebih lagi menyangkut keterlibatan pengalihaksara dan penerjemah di kemudian hari. Ditulisnya Serat Nitik Sultan Agung (W.54) pada akhir abad XIX memunculkan pertanyaan besar terkait ketepatan kronologis peristiwa yang dikisahkan. Demikian pula hasil alih-aksara dan terjemahan terhadap naskah tersebut yang diterbitkan oleh Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan pada 1991/1992 berjudul Babad Nitik. Dengan menggunakan metode historis dan pendekatan filologi terhadap Babad Nitik, penelitian ini mengemukakan latar belakang rekonstruksi tokoh Sultan Agung pada akhir abad XIX di Yogyakarta atas prakarsa Gusti Kangjeng Ratu Hageng, permaisuri Sultan Hamengku Buwana VI. Meskipun berkelindan dengan gaya khas penceritaan babad berbentuk tembang, namun dengan melakukan pemilahan sifat teks dan mempertemukannya dengan sumber asing, Babad Nitik memiliki kadar historis yang patut diperhitungkan untuk dijadikan sebagai sumber primer sejarah, khususnya terkait penulisan naskah. Kata Kunci: Babad Nitik, Sultan Agung, Yogyakarta, Ratu Hageng, sumber sejarah, manuskrip Jawa

Authors: Oti Richard
Published: August 2024

This study intends to contribute to the body of knowledge on loan sharking in Ghana and to provide policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, and community organisations with useful information by examining the impact of loan sharking on victims financial and social lives. The study utilised a survey research design to collect data from loan app victims. Snow ball sampling technique was used to collect data from loan app victims who responded to the survey. A total of 82 victims responded to the survey. A structured questionnaire was developed using Google Forms to collect data from participants. A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to summarise the data collected from the survey. The study revealed that loan apps fulfil diverse needs, including providing quick and accessible funds, meeting basic necessities, circumventing social challenges, responding to familial rejection, capitalising on the influence of loan agents, facilitating entrepreneurial endeavours, and satisfying individual curiosity. The study further revealed a cycle of financial challenges, including difficulties in saving money, repeated borrowing, and significant financial burdens, suggesting a profound negative impact on participants' financial well-being. Furthermore, participants reported severe social consequences, including disgrace, social stigma, and damaged relationships.

Published: August 2024

This systematic review aimed to analyze the in vivo study of the anti-osteoporotic activity of chickpeas. A comprehensive search for English language papers published between January 2013 and December 2023 using the keywords chickpea or Cicer arietinum, anti-osteoporotic activity or anti-osteoporotic effect, chickpeas and anti-osteoporotic activity, Cicer arietinum and antiosteoporotic activity and their synonyms yielded 3566 results from PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and Google Scholar. Articles were screened with titles, abstracts, full-text reviews based on inclusion/exclusion criteria, and evaluation of research quality using the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE). Four articles included in this systematic review were displayed in the PRISMA 2020 flowchart. Descriptive data analysis was conducted by comparing findings from several publications. Chickpea isoflavones affect bone metabolism by stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption via the RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway. Chickpeas might prevent osteoporosis caused by low estrogen levels in animal studies. In summary, further research is required to confirm the possibility of chickpeas as an anti-osteoporotic agent.

Escaneo científico sobre tendencias en usos y agregación de valor de los residuos de café
Authors: Cárdenas Solano Leidy Johanna , Contreras Pedraza Carlos Alberto
Published: August 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar a través de herramientas y metodologías de vigilancia científica y cienciometría las tendencias en investigación básica en el entorno mundial sobre el uso de los residuos de café para la generación de productos de valor agregado, que contribuyan a diversificar la orientación de este sistema productivo, teniendo en cuenta que el café es uno de los productos de mayor comercialización a nivel mundial (Murthy & Madhava Naidu, 2012a), es cultivado en más de 80 países, de los cuales el 90% son considerados en vía de desarrollo (Dadi et al., 2018), y respecto a los residuos de café, según la literatura, de un kilogramo de café, la cáscara y el mucílago representan el 56% del grano (Torres-Valenzuela et al., 2019). La cáscara, también llamada pulpa, pesa alrededor del 43,6% del fruto fresco (Rodríguez Valencia et al., 2010). La pulpa es rica en pectinas, cafeína, proteínas, carbohidratos y polifenoles, y es una fuente potencial de agroindustria de alto valor agregado (Murthy & Madhava Naidu, 2012a). Además, su uso en rumiantes se produce como reemplazo parcial del pienso comercial o como complemento a la materia seca de la dieta base. Esta sustitución va del 20 al 40% o hasta el 20% de la ración base seca sin afectar el desempeño productivo de los animales (Flórez-Delgado et al., 2023). En el caso del ganado de engorde, la inclusión oscila hasta el 30% de la ración, ya que valores mayores afectan el consumo de materia seca, la ganancia diaria de peso y el desarrollo animal (Noriega Salazar et al., 2009). Este estudio hace parte de los productos de investigación derivados del proyecto: Fortalecimiento del manejo integral de materiales sólidos orgánicos de agricultura, a través de estrategias de economía circular, que promueva la sostenibilidad ambiental y productiva de las familias campesinas del departamento de Santander
The Influence of Physical Activity and Diet Mobile Apps on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors: Meta-Review
Authors: Bushey Erica , Wu Yin , Wright Alexander , Pescatello Linda
Published: August 2024

Background

The literature on whether physical activity (PA) and PA and diet (PA+Diet) mobile apps improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors is promising.

Objective

The aim of this meta-review is to provide an evidence synthesis of systematic reviews and meta-analyses examining the influence of PA and PA+Diet apps on the major CVD risk factors.

Methods

We systematically searched 5 databases until January 12, 2022. Included systematic reviews and meta-analyses (1) reported the CVD risk factor outcomes of BMI, waist circumference, body weight, blood pressure (BP), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, or PA; (2) enrolled healthy participants ≥18 years who may or may not have the metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, or preexisting CVD risk factors; (3) reviewed PA or PA+Diet app interventions integrating behavioral change techniques (BCT) to deliver their information; and (4) had a nonapp control.

Results

In total, 17 reviews (9 systematic reviews and 8 meta-analyses) published between 2012 and 2021 qualified. Participants were middle-aged, mostly women ranging in number from 10 to 62,219. Interventions lasted from 1 to 24 months, with the most common behavioral strategies being personalized feedback (n=8), self-monitoring (n=7), and goal setting (n=5). Of the PA app systematic reviews (N=4), the following CVD risk factors improved: body weight and BMI (n=2, 50%), BP (n=1, 25%), HbA1c (n=1, 25%), and blood lipids (n=1, 25%) decreased, while PA (n=4, 100%) increased. Of the PA+Diet app systematic reviews (N=5), the following CVD risk factors improved: body weight and BMI (n=3, 60%), BP (n=1, 20%), and HbA1c (n=3, 60%) decreased, while PA (n=3, 60%) increased. Of the PA app meta-analyses (N=1), the following CVD risk factors improved: body weight decreased (–0.73 kg, 95% CI –1.45 to –0.01; P=.05) and PA increased by 25 minutes/week (95% CI 0.58-1.68; P<.001), while BMI (–0.09 kg/m2, 95% CI –0.29 to 0.10; P=.35) and waist circumference (–1.92 cm, 95% CI –3.94 to 0.09; P=.06) tended to decrease. Of the PA+Diet app meta-analyses (n=4), the following CVD risk factors improved: body weight (n=4, 100%; from –1.79 kg 95% CI –3.17 to –0.41; P=.01 to –2.80 kg 95% CI –4.54 to –1.06, P=.002), BMI (n=1, 25%; –0.64 kg/m2, 95% CI –1.09 to –0.18; P=.01), waist circumference (n=1, 25%; –2.46 cm, 95% CI –4.56 to –0.36; P=.02), systolic/diastolic BP (n=1, 25%; –4.22/–2.87 mm Hg, 95% CI –6.54 to –1.91/ –4.44 to –1.29; P<.01), and HbA1c (n=1, 25%; –0.43%, 95% CI –0.68 to –0.19; P<.001) decreased.

Conclusions

PA and PA+Diet apps appear to be most consistent in improving PA and anthropometric measures with favorable but less consistent effects on other CVD risk factors. Future studies are needed that directly compare and better quantify the effects of PA and PA+Diet apps on CVD risk factors.

Remote Passive Sensing of Older Adults’ Activities and Function: User-Centered Design Considerations for Behavioral Interventions Conducted in the Home Setting
Authors: Miller Lyndsey M , Kaye Jeffrey , Lindauer Allison , Au-Yeung Wan-Tai M , Rodrigues Nathaniel K , Czaja Sara J
Published: August 2024

Behavioral intervention studies often lack sufficiently sensitive and frequent measurements to observe an effect. Remote passive sensing offers a highly sensitive, continuous, and ecologically valid method of assessment that increases the ability to detect changes in the daily activities and function of those being monitored. To be most effectively deployed in research studies, applications of remote assessment technology must be designed with the end user in mind. User-centered design (UCD) is especially important in clinical trials where the needs and characteristics of participants and research staff need to be uniquely considered to ensure the feasibility and acceptability of the study. This paper describes UCD issues in remote passive sensing that commonly arise among older adult participants—including those living with dementia—as well as any strategies that were taken to overcome them. Using exemplars from the National Institute on Aging–funded Roybal Center ORCASTRAIT (Oregon Roybal Center for Care Support Translational Research Advantaged by Integrating Technology), as well as other experimental and observational research studies conducted in community settings, this paper brings together our collective experiences with studies using remote passive sensing technology that incorporate a UCD design approach. Although passive sensing eliminates some common UCD issues that arise with higher-touch technology, issues, such as usability, trust, and aesthetic acceptability, still need to be addressed for behavioral interventions using passive sensing technology to be potent and implementable.
Health and Well-Being Among College Students in the United States During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Daily Diary Study (Preprint)
Authors: Lanza Stephanie T , Whetzel Courtney , Bhandari Sandesh
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

There is evidence that anxiety and stress increased among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, less is known about daily experiences of affect, worry, substance use behaviors, experiences of pleasure, concern over food security, experiences of bias or discrimination, feelings of belongingness, and other indicators of well-being and how they vary across days in this population.

OBJECTIVE

This study surveyed a wide range of indicators of health and well-being in daily life over 21 days with a sample of college students in a large university system in the United States during the pandemic. The overall variance in each daily measure was partitioned to reflect the proportion due to (1) between-person differences versus (2) within-person, day-to-day variability. This is important because measures that vary primarily due to between-person differences may be more amenable to interventions that target particular students, whereas measures that vary more due to day-to-day variability may be more amenable to interventions that target day-level contextual factors.

METHODS

A sample of 2068 young adult college students (aged 18-24, mean 19.8, SD 1.3 years; 66.6% women) completed a baseline survey; 97.3% (n=2012) then completed up to 21 consecutive daily surveys that assessed a comprehensive set of daily markers of health, behavior, and well-being. The daily diary study produced a total of 33,722 person-days.

RESULTS

Among all person-days, a minority were substance use days (eg, 14.5% of days involved alcohol use, 5.6% vaping, and 5.5% cannabis). Experiences of pleasure were reported on most (73.5%) days. Between-person differences explained more than 50% of the variance in numerous indicators of health and well-being, including daily vaping, cannabis use, other illicit substance use, experiences of bias or discrimination, positive affect, negative affect, worry, food insecurity, and feelings of belonging at the university. In contrast, within-person differences explained more than 50% of the variance in daily alcohol use, cigarette use, stress, experiences of pleasure, where the student slept last night, and physical activity.

CONCLUSIONS

College student health and well-being are multifaceted, with some aspects likely driven by person-level characteristics and experiences and other aspects by more dynamic, contextual risk factors that occur in daily life. These findings implicate services and interventions that should target individual students versus those that should target days on which students are at high risk for poor experiences or behaviors.
Automated Interpretation of Lung Sounds by Deep Learning in Children With Asthma: Scoping Review and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Ruchonnet-Métrailler Isabelle , Siebert Johan N , Hartley Mary-Anne , Lacroix Laurence
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

The interpretation of lung sounds plays a crucial role in the appropriate diagnosis and management of pediatric asthma. Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to this task has the potential to better standardize assessment and may even improve its predictive potential.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to objectively review the literature on AI-assisted lung auscultation for pediatric asthma and provide a balanced assessment of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

METHODS

A scoping review on AI-assisted lung sound analysis in children with asthma was conducted across 4 major scientific databases (PubMed, MEDLINE Ovid, Embase, and Web of Science), supplemented by a gray literature search on Google Scholar, to identify relevant studies published from January 1, 2000, until May 23, 2023. The search strategy incorporated a combination of keywords related to AI, pulmonary auscultation, children, and asthma. The quality of eligible studies was assessed using the ChAMAI (Checklist for the Assessment of Medical Artificial Intelligence).

RESULTS

The search identified 7 relevant studies out of 82 (9%) to be included through an academic literature search, while 11 of 250 (4.4%) studies from the gray literature search were considered but not included in the subsequent review and quality assessment. All had poor to medium ChAMAI scores, mostly due to the absence of external validation. Identified strengths were improved predictive accuracy of AI to allow for prompt and early diagnosis, personalized management strategies, and remote monitoring capabilities. Weaknesses were the heterogeneity between studies and the lack of standardization in data collection and interpretation. Opportunities were the potential of coordinated surveillance, growing data sets, and new ways of collaboratively learning from distributed data. Threats were both generic for the field of medical AI (loss of interpretability) but also specific to the use case, as clinicians might lose the skill of auscultation.

CONCLUSIONS

To achieve the opportunities of automated lung auscultation, there is a need to address weaknesses and threats with large-scale coordinated data collection in globally representative populations and leveraging new approaches to collaborative learning.

Published: August 2024

Fear of success is a negative experience which influences satisfaction with life and overall wellbeing. Socio-demographic factors (e.g., age and gender) and self-esteem have been found to be associated with fear of success. However, whether gender and age influence how self-esteem is liked to fear of success has received little attention. We examined the moderating roles of gender and age moderate in the relationship between self-esteem and fear of success. Participants were 350 Nigerian adults who completed the Index of Self-esteem and the Fear of Success Scale. Hayes regression-based PROCESS macro results indicated that those with low self-esteem reported higher fear of success. Neither age nor gender was associated with fear of success. Gender and age did not moderate the association between self-esteem and fear of success. Interventions to boost people’s self-esteem should be considered in efforts to reduce fear of success.
The Study of the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Land Use and Landscape Patterns in Maoming City
Authors: Wei Chenlu , Wang Ruei-Yuan
Published: August 2024

This study analyzes the changes in land use and the evolution of landscape patterns in Maoming City from 2000 to 2020, revealing the dynamic changes in land use and their ecological effects during urbanization. The results show a significant decrease in cultivated land area, a notable increase in construction land, and a slight decrease in grassland area during this period, indicating that the ecosystem faces certain pressures. The fluctuations in the number of patches (NP) and patch density (PD) reflect a trend of landscape fragmentation in Maoming. The number of patches in cultivated land and woodland has decreased, and the Interspersion and Juxtaposition Index (IJI) and Aggregation Index (AI) indicate that patch distribution tends to be disordered and uneven. At the overall landscape level, diversity has decreased, and the Shannon's Evenness Index (SHEI) has remained relatively stable but is insufficient to offset the negative impacts of reduced diversity. The Landscape Disturbance Index (LDI) shows that landscape interference in Maoming peaked in 2010 and then declined, suggesting that ecological protection and integrated management measures have been effective. The mean disturbance index (MLDI) is higher in the southern Maonan and Dianbai districts, mainly due to higher urbanization, population density, and active economic activities, while the northern Xinyi City, with lower urbanization and fewer human activities, exhibits a lower disturbance index.
Comunidades de pràctica profesional del profesorado para una educación en ciencias en escuelas inclusivas
Authors: Meinardi Elsa
Published: August 2024

En este trabajo asumimos que la construcción de comunidades de práctica puede ser una herramienta útil para contribuir a los procesos de formación inicial docente y el desarrollo profesional de docentes en servicio, atendiendo a las necesidades de escuelas que se enfrentan al desafío de lograr la retención de los jóvenes sin exclusión de los aprendizajes de calidad. El desarrollo profesional docente que proponemos implica un trabajo en equipo, colaborativo y cooperativo. En los niveles obligatorios de la enseñanza, los proyectos curriculares deben perseguir la formación integral de los alumnos, siendo imprescindibles el diálogo y la comunicación entre profesionales que tienen en común un mismo objetivo. Esta tarea, que reconoce la capacidad de decisión profesional y no de mero ejecutor de currículos prescriptos, no puede abordarse individualmente. La formación inicial docente y el desarrollo profesional docente deben entenderse como procesos sociales que ocurren en el interior de “comunidades de prácticas”. La modalidad de trabajo que proponemos está basada en la interacción dialógica al interior de una comunidad y se sustenta en prácticas orientadas de reflexión y metacognición y busca promover un “saber hacer” más fundamentado, situado, crítico y reflexivo, aplicado a acciones de revisión y renovación de la enseñanza.
Criações docentes e o papel do ensino de Ciências no combate ao racismo e a discriminações
Authors: Verrangia Douglas
Published: August 2024

Este texto busca identificar concepções e práticas de um grupo de docentes, participantes de um curso de formação continuada, relativas ao combate ao racismo por meio do ensino de Ciências. Dito de outra forma, buscou-se compreender o papel assumido pelas aulas de Ciências na educação de relações étnico-raciais justas entre os/as estudantes. A metodologia utilizada, inspirada na fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty, contribuiu para identificar que os processos educativos são produzidos nas experiências e no pensar sobre o vivido, em espaços marcados pelas relações sociais: étnico-raciais, de gênero e de classe social. Ao percorrer o caminho trilhado para atingir o objetivo do estudo, foram reveladas formas – conteúdos, posturas, atividades – pelas quais o ensino de Ciências pode contribuir para uma educação mais ética.
Currículo das margens: apontamentos para ser professor de Ciências e Biologia
Authors: Barzano Marco Antonio Leandro
Published: August 2024

O texto apresenta uma discussão sobre “Ser professor de Ciências e Biologia: entre políticas, inquietações, saberes e sensibilidades”, que foi o tema do III Encontro Regional do Ensino de Biologia da Regional 04. Diante de um tema amplo para ser debatido no escopo deste artigo, foi necessário fazer um recorte e, por esta razão, procurou-se focalizar os temas investigados no grupo de pesquisa que coordeno – RIZOMA – que nos últimos cinco anos tem acumulado experiência de pesquisa sobre currículo nos cursos de graduação de Ciências Biológicas e das escolas de educação básica, principalmente, no que se refere aos temas gênero, sexualidade, raça/etnia, meio ambiente e culturas. O artigo sugere uma perspectiva do “currículo das margens” que nomeio para se referir às temáticas/conteúdos que atravessam os currículos dos cursos de Licenciatura e afetam o cotidiano escolar, bem como dos sujeitos que são produzidos por estes currículos tanto nos cursos de Licenciatura quanto na escola. A partir desta experiência no grupo de pesquisa e de professor formador de professores de Biologia, além de estar envolvido diretamente na gestão das diretorias regionais e nacional da SBENBIO, observo que os silenciamentos que ocorrem nos currículos potencializam novas perspectivas que podem contribuir para a formação e atuação docente do professor de Ciências e Biologia.
Histórias do ver, do não ver e do transver o mundo em labirintos formativos de professores de Ciências
Authors: Trópia Guilherme , Dutra Leandro Barreto
Published: August 2024

Este estudo busca, baseado numa perspectiva narrativa, trilhar reflexões nos arriscados labirintos formativos de docentes com ensinos, ciências naturais e pedagogias. A questão que nos acompanha nas narrativas é: quais formações, ciências, linguagens, leituras, sensibilidades podem ser inventadas em uma disciplina com ciências da natureza no curso de Pedagogia? Exploramos no estudo experiências que vivenciamos como docentes da disciplina “Fundamentos Teóricos e Metodológicos e Prática Escolar em Ciências” no curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) nas quais inventamos a vida em histórias de ver, do não ver e de transver o mundo. As experiências valorizaram leituras e escritas que não fragmentam/subordinam relações entre artefatos artísticos culturais e saberes científicos no curso de pedagogia. Acompanharam-nos leituras do documentário Janela da Alma, da poesia de Manoel de Barros e trabalhos do artista plástico Cao Guimarães. O estudo aponta uma potência criativa, inventiva com as leituras realizadas em um jogo de experimentação que tenta deslocar, escapar de uma lógica representativa ao longo dos labirintos formativos de professores de ciências

Teve por objetivos investigar o material didático em vídeo dos cursos sob a ótica dos estudantes; averiguar a adequação desses materiais ao estudante da modalidade de educação à distância (EaD); verificar a conformidade do conteúdo didático com os objetivos propostos no Projeto Pedagógico do Curso (PPC). Os sujeitos do estudo foram os estudantes da turma de 2012/2013 que cursaram a pós-graduação Lato Sensu ofertada pelo PNAP/UFAL. Foi elaborado questionário de coleta de dados, tomando como referência as categorias definidas com base na revisão teórico/bibliográfica e no estudo documental, dentre os quais se destacam os Referenciais de Qualidade para EaD - RQEAD (BRASIL, 2007) e os indicadores de avaliação de material didático audiovisual para EaD, propostos por Pimentel et. al. (2010). Os instrumentos de coletas de dados foram os questionários foram aplicados com estudantes dos cursos EGP/PNAP/UFAL e a análise dos materiais didáticos disponibilizados no ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA) Moodle e CD/DVD’s dos cursos. Os resultados indicam que é necessário uma revisão no domínio físico e comunicacional de parte significativa dos materiais em vídeos do PNAp/UFAL.

Authors: Farias Gelcemar Oliveira
Published: August 2024

Os três estados da região sul do Brasil apresentam propostascurriculares que buscam garantir a qualidade de ensinoe orientar as ações pedagógicas no contexto escolar.Este estudo tem, como objetivo, analisar as propostascurriculares da região sul do Brasil, com ênfase na EducaçãoFísica, considerando a diversidade cultural. Para o estudodescritivo foram utilizadas como fontes de informação aProposta Curricular de Santa Catarina: Formação Integralna Educação Básica, o Referencial Curricular Lições deRio Grande: Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias e asDiretrizes Curriculares da Educação Básica. A inserção daEducação Física na área das linguagens e códigos se justificapela linguagem corporal que permite a interlocução entreo aluno e a cultura corporal de movimento. Os resultadosindicam que são apresentados, nos documentos, conteúdosde Educação Física especificamente para os anos finaisdo ensino fundamental e para o ensino médio, os quaispromovem a discussão e a reflexão sobre a diversidadecultural, tendo em vista, entre outros fatores, as diferentesetnias e religiões. Os contextos se entrecruzam nas propostasde modo a possibilitar a aquisição de saberes agregadosno decorrer dos anos letivos, bem como a mediação daformação de alunos, para que compreendam os significadosda Educação Física na escola. Conclui-se que os conteúdosculturais buscam contemplar aspectos relacionados àdiversidade cultural o que, por si só, já representa avanços,pois os professores tornam-se sujeitos da ação, e, porconseguinte, valorizam o currículo que construíram.

Authors: Silva José Cláudio Sooma
Published: August 2024

O artigo dialoga com um conjunto de pesquisas em História da Educação que têm explicitado que analisar a escolarização primária na cidade do Rio de Janeiro na década de 1920 significa atentar para todo um repertório de projeções de governo que ansiavam disciplinar e harmonizar a capital e a sua população. Baseado no exame de um conjunto de solicitações encaminhadas pela Diretoria Geral de Instrução Pública e na análise de uma série de notícias colocadas em circulação pelo periódico carioca Gazeta de Notícias,as atenções incidiram sobre alguns dos mecanismos de controle que foram direcionados em relação ao corpo docente enfocando, principalmente, as investigações que culminaram na prisão do professor adjunto Álvaro Palmeira.
Dengue Seroprevalence in Different Geographic Zones of India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cross-Sectional Studies

Dengue is a highly prevalent mosquito-borne disease that is endemic in over 100 countries. It has a wider impact in terms of severity of illness and mortality risk in the absence of an effective vaccine as yet. The purpose of this study was to use meta-analysis to find out how common the dengue virus (DENV) is in India based on public data and to figure out how much of a problem. We searched, read, and reviewed about DENV in India that were available online. Forty-four cross-sectional studies were selected from the 178 records. There were reports of dengue cases in 14 out of the 28 states. Out of the patients presenting with symptoms of Dengue 27% of people were confirmed to have DENV infection with 82.29% (95% CI. 81-84%), having dengue IgM, 41.67% (95% CI: 40.16-43.43), having dengue IgG, and 23.97% (95% C.I. 14-43%), having both IgG and IgM from positive sample n=27156. Hospital-based cross-sectional studies on suspected Dengue-like illness (DLI) found that 99.48% of people had confirmed dengue out of the patients with features of DLI, and community-based studies found that 0.52% of DLI cases had dengue. The seroprevalence rates for East, South, North, and Western regions were 35.38% (95% C.I.14-31%), 11.57% (95% C.I. 2-69%), 38.10% (95% C.I. 9-61%), and 14.87% (95% C.I. 6-38%) correspondingly. DENV is interestingly spreading across the whole country, and the disease’s frequency varies a lot from place to place and from 2010-2023. However this review does not find appropriate published literature from 50% of the Indian states. The identification of IgG-class antibodies to dengue virus is indicative of prior exposure to this pathogen. Almost all immunocompetent individuals should have developed IgG antibodies against the dengue virus within three weeks of exposure. The presence of dengue virus IgM-class antibodies is indicative of an acute phase of infection. National Vector borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) has some surveillance information, appropriate designed research into prevalence and risk factors for DENV infection would be required to provide adequate information for public health intervention.
Isolation of Cellulolytic Bacillus sp. from the Viviparous Seedling Hypocotyls of Red Mangrove – Rhizophora mucronata Lam.
Authors: Nidhina K. , Ayshommabi R.M. , Mani Tomson
Published: August 2024

Mangroves are one of the world’s most unique tropical coastal ecosystems. They are a rich repository of biological wealth, including specially adapted flora and fauna. The microbiome component of this ecosystem is a fascinating world that is yet to be fully explored for its functional and ecological inter-relationships with its hosts. The mangrove ecosystem is a hidden treasure of microbial diversity, without which mangrove biology is incomplete. In the present study, the isolation of a cellulase-producing, endophytic Bacillus sp. from the hypocotyl region of viviparous seedlings is described. This study urges us to look into the microbial diversity of mangrove propagules, by presenting a glimpse of a member of the endospheric microbiome of viviparous hypocotyls.
