THE ROLE OF APPLIED DECORATIVE ARTS IN SHAPING STUDENTS' AESTHETIC TASTE
Authors: Zhetybayeva N.H. , Kandemir Mitat
Published: January 2025

The article discusses imitation, on which a student of applied decorative arts should work attentively and confidently in relation to the development of an aesthetic sense, drawing conclusions about the role of practical fine arts studies for educating creativity and culture within society. The study was conducted among 120 high school students who participated in decorative arts workshops of three disciplines (i.e. ceramics, textiles and metalwork) and was characterized using a mixed methods rationale. We measured changes in aesthetic judgment and skill development using pre-and post-tests, as well as qualitative interviews and evaluations of student projects. The students showed substantial gains in their awareness of the diversity of artistic traditions—especially about non-Western decorative arts. The qualitative data suggested that student understanding of beauty and design was enriched through their engagement with the applied arts as evidenced in final projects in which students exhibited greater aesthetic discernment, originality, and cultural awareness. This paper suggests some of the important educational possibilities of decorative training for a fuller and fairer appreciation of taste by students. It also shows the importance of incorporating non-Western arts traditions into the curricula of arts education. Subsequent research could further investigate the lasting effects of the practice-based methods of decorative arts education and possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Putting the results in context the research adds to a body of literature that supports an integrated approach to arts education, including the significance of the decorative arts for cultural and creative learning.

Abstract. Wetland methane responses to temperature and precipitation are studied in a boreal wetland-rich region in northern Europe using ecosystem process models. Six ecosystem models (JSBACH-HIMMELI, LPX-Bern, LPJ-GUESS, JULES, CLM4.5, and CLM5) are compared to multi-model means of ecosystem models and atmospheric inversions from the Global Carbon Project and upscaled eddy covariance flux results for their temperature and precipitation responses and seasonal cycles of the regional fluxes. Two models with contrasting response patterns, LPX-Bern and JSBACH-HIMMELI, are used as priors in atmospheric inversions with Carbon Tracker Europe–CH4 (CTE-CH4) in order to find out how the assimilation of atmospheric concentration data changes the flux estimates and how this alters the interpretation of the flux responses to temperature and precipitation. Inversion moves wetland emissions of both models towards co-limitation by temperature and precipitation. Between 2000 and 2018, periods of high temperature and/or high precipitation often resulted in increased emissions. However, the dry summer of 2018 did not result in increased emissions despite the high temperatures. The process models show strong temperature and strong precipitation responses for the region (51 %–91 % of the variance explained by both). The month with the highest emissions varies from May to September among the models. However, multi-model means, inversions, and upscaled eddy covariance flux observations agree on the month of maximum emissions and are co-limited by temperature and precipitation. The setup of different emission components (peatland emissions, mineral land fluxes) has an important role in building up the response patterns. Considering the significant differences among the models, it is essential to pay more attention to the regional representation of wet and dry mineral soils and periodic flooding which contribute to the seasonality and magnitude of methane fluxes. The realistic representation of temperature dependence of the peat soil fluxes is also important. Furthermore, it is important to use process-based descriptions for both mineral and peat soil fluxes to simulate the flux responses to climate drivers.
Efficiency metrics for ocean alkalinity enhancements under responsive and prescribed atmospheric pCO2 conditions
Authors: Tyka Michael D.
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) and direct ocean removal (DOR) are emerging as promising technologies for enacting negative emissions. The long equilibration timescales, potential for premature subduction of surface water parcels, and extensive horizontal transport and dilution of added alkalinity make direct experimental measurement of induced CO2 uptake challenging. Therefore, the challenge of measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) will rely to a great extent on general circulation models, parameterized and constrained by experimental measurements. A number of recent studies have assessed the efficiency of OAE using different model setups and different metrics. Some models use prescribed atmospheric CO2 levels, while others use fully coupled Earth system models. The former ignores atmospheric feedback effects, while the latter explicitly models them. In this paper it is shown that, even for very small OAE deployments, which do not substantially change atmospheric pCO2, the change in oceanic CO2 inventories differs significantly between these methods due to atmospheric feedback causing some ocean CO2 off-gassing. An analogous off-gassing occurs during direct air capture (DAC). Due to these feedback effects, care must be taken to compute the correct metrics when assessing OAE efficiency with respect to determining negative emissions credits, as opposed to determining the effect on global temperatures. This paper examines the commonly used metrics of OAE efficiency, their exact physical meanings, the assumptions inherent in their use, and the relationship between them. It is shown that the efficiency metric η(t), used in prescribed pCO2atm simulations, equals the equivalent schedule of a gradual DAC removal and storage in a fully coupled system.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. The magnitude, source, release location, and timing of freshwater fluxes that end up in the numerous Greenland fjords is of special interest for ice-ocean interactions and ecosystems. In this study, we investigate intra- and interannual variability of the various freshwater sources for Greenland’s fjords in seven climatologically distinct regions. For this, we use direct and statistically downscaled output from regional climate models for the mass fluxes, process-based estimates of basal melt and observational data for solid ice discharge. For the period 1940/1958 to 2023, we separately quantify runoff from the Greenland ice sheet, peripheral ice caps and tundra regions, and precipitation directly falling in the fjords. From 2009 onwards, the available data allows us to resolve the full seasonal cycle of freshwater fluxes. The results indicate a diverse range of relative contributions from freshwater sources between seasons and regions. Freshwater input in fjords in the wet southeast and northwest is dominated by solid ice discharge (55 % and 67 %, respectively) with a small contribution of tundra runoff, whereas in the relatively drier north, northeast, and southwest the contribution of tundra runoff is more important (20 %, 25 % and 30 %, respectively). Precipitation in fjords and tundra runoff can represent a large fraction of the monthly total, i.e. up to 11 % and 35 %, respectively, for winter and spring. However, the relative contribution of tundra runoff has been decreasing in time, the result of rapid increases in ice sheet and ice cap runoff over the past decades following atmospheric and oceanic warming. We show that the regional glacier-integrated melt-over-accumulation ratio (MOA) is a good predictor for the relative contributions of solid ice discharge, tundra runoff, and ice sheet runoff. These findings have implications for the use of freshwater fluxes forcing in regional ocean models and fjord studies, and enhance our understanding of their impact on ocean and fjord circulation and biogeochemistry.
Historias del arte en Colombia. Identidades, materialidades, migraciones y geografías
Authors: Rubiano Pinilla Elkin
Published: January 2025

The review of the book "Histories of Art in Colombia. Identities, Materialities, Migrations, and Geographies," edited by Olga Acosta, Natalia Lozada, and Juanita Solano, describes the proposal of this editorial project. The book's main focus is on horizontality and de-hierarchization in the artistic narrative, moving away from art history centered on specific artists and periods to include a variety of objects and themes, such as ceramics and tableware, that have traditionally been marginalized. The work emphasizes the importance of materiality, not only in the design of the book but also in the analysis of artworks, exploring their physical structure and the materials used. Additionally, the book incorporates feminist perspectives, questioning the entrenched gender structures in the interpretation of art and suggesting further research on the interaction between the local and the global, as well as the impact of digitalization on the materiality of Colombian art.
A sociedade estadunidense pós-ataques de 11 de setembro: Desvendando a cultura do medo e as dinâmicas de controle social
Authors: De Araujo Igor Alexandre Faulstich , Safa Marian Ahmad
Published: January 2025

Este artigo investiga os impactos de longo prazo dos ataques de 11 de setembro de 2001 nas políticas de segurança dos Estados Unidos, focando-se na forma como a disseminação da chamada cultura do medo legitimou mecanismos de controle social que, em tempos normais, seriam inaceitáveis. A análise demonstra como, a partir de uma ótica constitucional, ocorreu um desequilíbrio entre a necessidade de segurança e a preservação das liberdades individuais, abrindo espaço para um potencial abuso de autoridade por meio do Estado de Exceção — um estado de controle de difícil reversão. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualitativa e exploratória, fundamentada em revisão bibliográfica, para construir uma compreensão mais aprofundada sobre o papel do sentimento de insegurança. Ancorado nas ideias de Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben e Constance Duncombe, dentre outros autores, o estudo revela como o medo contribuiu para a imposição de normas comportamentais e para a aceitação de práticas de vigilância social, criando um cenário de instauração do vigilância constante na sociedade estadunidense. Ao desvendar a complexa interação entre eventos traumáticos, respostas políticas e impactos nas liberdades civis, o artigo busca esclarecer de que forma as políticas de segurança pós-11 de setembro moldaram as relações de poder, promovendo uma reconfiguração nas liberdades individuais e na estrutura social dos Estados Unidos.
Reflections on comeback coaching: Main effects and implications for use of coaching to support employees returning to work after a break
Authors: Chivers Jessica
Published: January 2025

Objectives

This study sought to understand the effects of comeback coaching as perceived by clients several months after the completion of coaching to support their return to work. Specifically, the main effects, enduring effects and how other employees and the wider organisation were affected by the coaching.

Design

The study used a semi-structured interview design within a qualitative approach. Twelve participants from five different commercial organisations were recruited. All had received coaching as they returned to work from maternity leave or maternity + career break in one case. Participants reflected on their coaching experience between 3–11 months after their final coaching session.

Methods

Interviews were manually transcribed. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyse the transcripts and build a series of descriptive and conceptual codes and develop themes.

Results

Five themes emerged: Sense making and better-quality thinking; Better performance-related behaviours; Boosted confidence and self-awareness; Better health and Feeling energised and positively impacting colleagues. Comeback coaching was perceived to be a positive experience which served the participants’ needs at the point they returned to work and had a variety of lasting positive effects.

Conclusions

Comeback coaching is a useful tool to support employees returning to work. Employers may want to offer returning employees coaching because of the likely positive impact on performance, potential ‘protective effect’ on mental health and positive ripple effects on clients’ colleagues.
Schema coaching techniques, Part 3: Imagery rescripting and transformational chairwork
Authors: McCormick Iain
Published: January 2025

Schema coaching, a recently developed approach, integrates a range of techniques from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment theory and gestalt therapy. This provides the suitably trained and ethically adherent coaching psychologist with a wide range of powerful experiential techniques to deal with persistent and protracted client problems. In this article, the third in the series on schema coaching, the techniques of imagery rescripting and transformational chairwork are explored. Imagery rescripting is designed to help the client to get in touch with painful archaic emotions and to help to start to heal these distressing memories. The client cannot undo the past and cannot delete old memories that have been imprinted but new neural pathways that inhibit the old ones can be created with the help of the coaching psychologist. Rescripting does not change the memory but does enable the client to see it in a new way and find new meaning in it. By contrast transformational chairwork refers to a wide range of techniques in which chairs are used to help clients better gain an understanding of themselves in the present moment. The technique was first used in psychodrama, but it was Fritz Perls who popularised the approach in gestalt therapy. Chairwork can be used in a wide range of ways in schema coaching including to explore and help resolve painful historical events, to strengthen the healthy adult, to reduce the impact of the inner critic or to help deal with painful emotions such as sadness, guilt, anxiety or anger. Both techniques are powerful and highly experiential so are particularly useful for intelligent, articulate executives who have a strong tendency to intellectualise their problems while having a real desire to deal with the underlying drivers of their dysfunction.
Coaching Generation Z: Necessity, challenges and opportunities
Authors: Hulbert-Williams Lee , Wilkinson Dean J. , Hulbert-Williams Nick
Published: January 2025

Individuals are shaped by the values, pressures, and constraints of the time and place in which they grew up – each of us is a child of our time. Generation Z are the first generation to grow up with the internet, smart phones, and social media consistently available during adolescence. These technological advances have been accompanied by increased prevalence of mental-health issues and related challenges. Alongside the putative effects of such technologies, Generation Z have also grown up in cultures much more focussed on safety. During their formative years, the concept of safety was expanded to include emotional safety, which is to say a felt need that one must never be upset, and that one should believe one’s own emotional reactions unquestioningly. Such a conception of human emotion runs directly counter to the evidence base behind Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Coaching. Demand for mental health services is at an all-time high in many countries, however many of the challenges Generation Z are facing are not clinical and may ethically be supported by a sufficiently trained coaching professional. There are a number of cognitive-behavioural processes, such as psychological flexibility, that seem to fit well with some of the challenges most commonly experienced by members of Generation Z, and which coaching psychologists would be well-placed to employ with this population. With this paper we hope to start a broader conversation about the potential contribution of coaching psychology in this context.

Published: January 2025

There is a common perception that tourism can directly or indirectly enhance well-being. The travellers' motivations could influence the connection between tourism and well-being. This study aimed to examine the relationship between travel motivations and well-being and the beneficial effects of mindfulness and memorable travel experiences (MTEs) on this relationship. The data were gathered using online questionnaires and included 256 participants. The findings suggested that travel motivation positively influenced well-being, mindfulness, and MTEs. The mediating role of MTEs and mindfulness in the relationship between motivation and well-being was verified. In conclusion, this study emphasises the importance of comprehending the influence of travel motivations, mindfulness, and MTEs in promoting and enhancing well-being. Understanding the psychological variables affecting well-being is crucial for researchers and tourism managers to incorporate effective methods for better management and marketing, considering that tourism offers are more suited to consumer demand.

O estudo teve como objetivo compreender o nível de conhecimento das mulheres sobre o plano de parto. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório e qualitativo, realizado com 15 puérperas internadas entre abril e outubro de 2023. As participantes foram selecionadas com base em critérios de inclusão relacionados ao acompanhamento pré-natal. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, transcritas e analisadas pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, conforme Bardin. Os resultados indicaram que, embora 40% das mulheres entrevistadas tivessem conhecimento sobre o plano de parto, apenas 13,3% haviam efetivamente elaborado o documento. A participação nos grupos educativos, principalmente voltados para a amamentação e a visita à maternidade, foi apontada como positiva e colaborou para uma experiência de parto humanizada. A presença de métodos não farmacológicos para o alívio da dor e as boas práticas obstétricas também foram relatadas. Constatou-se que, apesar do alto nível de conhecimento sobre o plano de parto, sua elaboração ainda é limitada. A implementação de políticas públicas voltadas para a educação em saúde e a capacitação dos profissionais de saúde é crucial para promover a autonomia das gestantes e garantir uma assistência obstétrica humanizada.

The traditional silvopastoral systems are essential bio-cultural socio-productive activities in the semi-arid Chaco region. The main aim of this study was to asses information on the forage plants species utilized by peasant communities of Northeastern Santiago del Estero, Argentina, in context of traditional silvopastoral systems, from an ethnobotanical approach. The peasant communities were monitored from 2012 to 2017 and 55 families (11 women, 44 men) were interviewed. The study selected the interviewers using the snowball technique, assuming they possessed more specific knowledge on the topic. The information collected was structured in a database and analyzed statistically. Overall, 131 plants from 44 families and 98 genera were cited, being Poaceae and Fabaceae the most diverse. Herbs, shrubs and trees native to the area are the predominant biological forms of forage plant species. The main local silvopastoral management practices and the annual forage dynamics were identified as well. Additionally, 12 forage species together with native woody plants and native and cultivated grasses are accounted as the most valued. The species used to feed livestock during the dry season are the best valued. The high number of forage plants mentioned in the interviews makes apparent the role played by local flora as well as the importance of the local botanical knowledge in the main socio-cultural activity. The species holding the highest popular valuation are the woody ones and grasses, which are abundant in the region, as well as those used to feed livestock in the unfavorable season (late fall, winter and early spring). The traditional silvopastoralism is a key practice in the region, especially in extensive LBK foraging plants. Local communities hold deep knowledge of these practices. This knowledge is shared through narratives, everyday activities, and productive strategies, highlighting the its importance in sustaining both the environment and the livelihoods of local inhabitants.

Introdução: A adenosina monofosfato-ativada proteína quinase (AMPK) é uma enzima fundamental na regulação do metabolismo energético celular, com efeitos relevantes em condições o diabetes mellitus. Ativada por baixa concentração de ATP, a AMPK aumenta a captura de glicose e da oxidação de ácidos graxos, além de inibir a síntese lipídica. Compreender os mecanismos que aumentam a atividade dessa via, incluindo a metformina, exercício físico e ativadores alostéricos, é de suma importância para melhorar o controle glicêmico e prevenir complicações do diabetes. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como principal objetivo analisar a importância da ativação da AMPK na modulação metabólica de pacientes diabéticos. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa de artigos em português e inglês, publicados entre 2007 e 2022, nas bases de dados PUBMED, SCIELO e LILACS. Foram selecionados 12 artigos utilizando os descritores “AMPK pathway activation”, “Diabetic Patients”, “diabetes”. Resultados: A ativação da AMPK, especialmente via metformina e ativadores alostéricos como O304, mostrou-se eficiente na captação de glicose nos músculos esqueléticos e na função das células beta pancreáticas, destacando sua importância na regulação da glicose. Considerações finais: A modulação da AMPK é uma estratégia promissora no manejo do diabetes, mas pesquisas adicionais são necessárias para compreender os efeitos a longo prazo.

Published: January 2025

El objetivo general de esta investigación fue analizar el nivel de compromiso ambiental (CA) de los estudiantes en una institución de educación superior. A partir de una revisión de la literatura, se definieron cuatro dimensiones del CA: percepciones, actitudes, conocimientos y comportamiento. Se adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo con alcance descriptivo, utilizando un diseño transversal y no experimental. La técnica empleada fue la encuesta, con un cuestionario de 38 preguntas en escala Likert. Los resultados muestran que el nivel de CA se mantiene constante en los semestres 1º, 3º y 5º, pero experimenta un aumento en el 7º semestre. Las percepciones y actitudes presentan niveles elevados, seguidas por los conocimientos, mientras que el comportamiento es la dimensión con los promedios más bajos. Además, se observa que las asignaturas de los primeros semestres influyen en los estudiantes, ya que el conocimiento aumenta significativamente en el 5º semestre. En conclusión, es necesario implementar estrategias pedagógicas que fomenten un mayor involucramiento de los estudiantes con el medio ambiente, con el fin de elevar la dimensión del comportamiento a niveles similares a los de las otras tres dimensiones.

On the free boundary problem for a predator-prey model with fear effect
Authors: Takhirov Jozil , Bunyodbek Anvarjonov
Published: January 2025

This manuscript proposes a three-species model with a free food chain boundary to study the effects of fear. The well-posedness and uniform estimates for the solution are proved, as well as the behavior of the components of the solution and the unknown boundary over large time intervals. The findings suggest that the effect of fear of predators can move a system from a chaotic to a stable state. The results may provide useful biological information about ecosystems in which predator-prey interactions occur.
On invariant distributionally scrambled sets in non-compact systems
Authors: Yadav Naveenkumar , Shah Sejal
Published: January 2025

We study here the invariance of topological distributionally scrambled sets for maps on uniform spaces (not necessarily compact or metrizable). For a uniformly continuous surjective self-map defined on a uniformly locally compact Hausdorff uniform space having topological weak specification, a fixed point, and countably many periodic points with distinct periods, we prove that the map admits an invariant topological distributionally scrambled set of type 1. Further, if the uniform space is second countable, the map admits a dense Mycielski invariant topological distributionally scrambled set of type 1.

Published: January 2025

In order to investigate linear time and spatial fractional advection equations, we present a finite difference scheme (FDS) in this paper. The fractional Taylor series method for u at tj+1 and xi+1 is used to approximate the fractional derivatives. First, we construct our numerical scheme (NS) for the mathematical model. In the second part, we study the stability and convergence of our numerical scheme. Finally, the numerical simulations of the fractional advection equation, using the FDM, is plotted for several values of fractional parameters α and ν. It will be shown that the convergence is achieved properly which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

On the existence of periodic solutions under the light of semi-Fredholm operators for some evolution equations
Authors: Kriche Mohammed , El Azzouzi Abdelhai , Ezzinbi Khalil
Published: January 2025

In this work, we investigate the existence of periodic solutions for a class of evolution equations defined as w(t) = (L + C(t))w(t) + H(t). Sufficient conditions on the family of operators {C(t), t ≥ 0}, L and H are proposed to derive the periodicity of solutions from bounded ones on the positive real half-line. The results are obtained by applying the theory of perturbation of semi-Fredholm operators. We suppose that L is a generally nondensely defined operator and satifies the Hille-Yosida condition. Finally, an example of the theoretical findings is presented with numerical simulations.

Let Ω be a smooth open-bounded domain in RN(N ⩾ 5). We deal with the multi-singular critical elliptic problem (1.1) where µk ∈ R, 2∗ := 2N/(N-4), ωk ∈ Ω (1 ⩽ k ⩽ m) and G(x) is a bounded positive function on Ω¯. By exploiting the impact of the coefficient of the critical nonlinearity, we, by making use of variational method, establish the existence of a positive solution to problem (1.1).

The evolving energy landscape, driven by increasing demands and the growing integration of renewables, necessitates a dynamic adjustment of the energy grid. To enhance the grid’s resilience and accommodate the surging influx of green energy. Energy storage solutions have emerged as crucial components. Despite considerable research, there remains a notable gap in systematically assessing the suitability of different storage devices across diverse stationary applications. This review endeavors to bridge this gap by thoroughly examining the current landscape of energy storage and discerning its aptness for various grid support applications. Through an exploration of technical, economic, and environmental considerations, the study aims to elucidate the optimal storage technologies for different contexts. Among electrochemical storage options, lithium-ion batteries emerge as optimal choices for both low- and medium-scale applications, owing to their robust power and energy densities. Meanwhile, capacitors, supercapacitors, and superconductive magnetic energy storages exhibit promise for high-power demands within the electrical storage domain. Additionally, thermal energy storage presents a viable solution for seasonal and bulk energy requirements. This review suggests using a mix of technologies in hybrid solutions to better meet the unique needs of different applications.
Planning Capital Cities under Regional Conflict: Paradoxical Urban Spaces – Jerusalem as a Paramount Model
Authors: Najjar Raed
Published: January 2025

The present research chapter delves into the intricacies of urban planning in contested cities, where planning assumes two opposing functions: constructive and peacemaking (progressive) and destructive and exacerbating conflict (regressive). In conflict areas, the notion of regressive planning is not often recognized and requires more examination. This research contributes to the resolution of this significant gap and academic deficiency. It examines the significance of urban planning by presenting several worldwide instances, with particular emphasis on Jerusalem as a prominent exemplar of paradoxical urban environments. The study reveals that regressive planning policies, uneven infrastructure development, and discriminatory resource allocation have created a fragmented urban fabric that mirrors and reinforces the broader socio-political divide in Jerusalem. It highlights the dual role of urban planning as both, a tool for asserting control, and a potential avenue for conflict resolution. By analyzing the paradoxes inherent in Jerusalem’s urban spaces—where modernity coexists with neglect, and development with deprivation—the research sheds light on the broader implications for urban planning in other contested capitals around the world. To achieve this, a combination of several research methodologies including descriptive, comparative, analytical, and case study approaches has been employed. This research underscores the need for inclusive, equitable planning approaches that prioritize social cohesion and peacebuilding in regions marked by deep-seated conflict.
Perspective Chapter: Influence of Values and Beliefs on Addictive Behaviors
Authors: Tassi Ahmad
Published: January 2025

Values and beliefs play a crucial role in shaping our daily decisions and influencing behaviors, particularly regarding addiction. While addiction is often viewed as a disease characterized by a lack of control, it also involves choices that can lead to negative outcomes, such as drug use initiation. Personal accountability for these choices is essential, as even well-intentioned decisions made for what we believe it is best for us, can result in harmful habits associated with addiction. Beliefs, including religious or spiritual values, significantly impact how individuals approach addiction, offering guidance in avoiding or overcoming it. The decision to quit an addiction is multifaceted, influenced by free will, societal pressures, and personal beliefs about right and wrong. Many individuals find strength in their values, often choosing to stop addictive behaviors independently of professional intervention. Although addiction has neurological implications that alter brain function, personal willingness and commitment are vital in the recovery process. Understanding the significance of personal values and beliefs is critical in developing effective strategies for addiction prevention and treatment. Recognizing one’s ability to make choices empowers individuals to regain control of their lives and cultivate healthier decision-making skills, ultimately supporting recovery and long-term change. The decision to quit an addiction is complex and is influenced by our own free will, compulsive actions, influence of society, and what we believe is right.

The incidence and number of cases of several parasitic diseases subject to mandatory reporting and registration under the Ministry of Health (MoH) 2005 Regulation 21 increased after the end of the global pandemic of COVID-19 in 2023. In addition, parasitic infections imported from endemic tropical regions are recorded annually in the country. A significant number of people are screened for parasitic diseases each year. The primary indication for screening is prophylactic, followed by epidemiological and clinical indications. This report aims to analyse the dynamics of parasitic diseases in 2023. Data from the periodic and annual reports of the RHI, medical institutions and NCIPD were used as inputs. In 2023, 647 781 people were tested for parasites, of whom 2.0% were diagnosed with various parasitic infections. Cystic echinococcosis increased from 89 cases in 2022 to 117 cases in 2023. The annual incidence of the disease increased from 1.3% in 2022 to 1.81% in 2023.
Regarding soil-transmitted parasitic diseases, 447 people were diagnosed with ascariasis and 50 with trichuriasis. Among the 458 764 people tested, the prevalence of enterobiasis was 1.74%. Out of 1 305 suspected cases, 10 individuals were diagnosed with imported malaria. Unfortunately, the disease was fatal for one patient of Bulgarian nationality.
Analysis of the data showed no discernible trend in the incidence of parasitic diseases in 2023. However, cases of cystic echinococcosis show an upward trend. For the first time, no epidemic outbreaks of trichinellosis were recorded in 2023.
Funções Executivas e TEA: contextos educacionais e reflexões docentes
Authors: Nascimento Ingrid Carla Aldicéia Oliveira do , Braun Patricia
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as análises contextuais realizadas por professoras sobre o desenvolvimento das funções executivas por estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Pesquisas sobre as funções executivas são realizadas, em sua maioria, pelo campo da Neurociência Cognitiva. Mas, por terem fundamental importância para o desenvolvimento cognitivo dos sujeitos e para o gerenciamento de diferentes aspectos da vida humana, os estudos sobre as funções executivas são, também, de grande relevância para o campo educacional. Por isso, para que fossem realizadas aproximações entre o campo educacional e o da Neurociência Cognitiva, foram adotados dois vieses teóricos: a própria Neurociência Cognitiva, que estuda o desenvolvimento das funções executivas, e a Teoria Histórico-Cultural que, com base nas pesquisas de Lev Vigotski e Alexander Luria sobre o desenvolvimento da fala, explora o assunto a partir do que esses autores descreveram como funções psicológicas superiores. A abordagem de pesquisa que delineou o estudo, de caráter qualitativo, foi a metodologia a pesquisa-ação colaborativa, cujo campo de pesquisa se caracterizou num curso de formação docente, realizado com professoras de duas escolas públicas, de educação básica. Como resultados, destacamos a relevância da formação docente sobre o desenvolvimento das funções executivas e a importância de instrumentalização docente, para que tais funções possam ser estimuladas também nos espaços educacionais, a partir de práticas pedagógicas voltadas para este fim.
O Novo Ensino Médio e suas relações com a BNCC: (im)possibilidades para uma formação na perspectiva cidadã
Authors: Lauermann Marlene Tirei Koldehoff , Copatti Carina
Published: January 2025

Apresenta-se uma reflexão acerca da Reforma do Ensino Médio, proposta pela Medida Provisória nº 746/2016, transformada na Lei nº 13.415/2017, que alterou a LDB de 1996, e, por conseguinte, a BNCC, organizada de acordo com estas alterações.  O objetivo é discutir as possibilidades e implicações que esta Reforma propõe para a formação humana e compreender a perspectiva de cidadania que é colocada em ação pelos currículos escolares diante da homologação da BNCC. O problema norteador consiste em investigar a seguinte questão: Em que medida a proposta do Novo Ensino Médio, articulada à BNCC, potencializa e/ou fragiliza uma formação na perspectiva cidadã? O estudo é de natureza qualitativa, fundamentado no método hermenêutico dialógico e guiado pelos procedimentos de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, amparado na Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD). Evidenciou-se que existe uma dualidade em relação à concepção de educação: a perspectiva voltada para a formação humanística e cidadã e, por outro lado, para atender os desígnios neoliberais, que traz uma tendência voltada a atender a preparação para o mercado de trabalho, na contramão da cidadania.
