Talk to Me! Real-Time Audio-Conferencing and the Changing Roles of the Teacher and the Learner in a 24/7 Environment
Authors: Kötter Markus , Shield Lesley
Published: December 2024

The model of distance learning in which Open University [OU] language learners take part is the ' traditional' one for the OU - print, video, audio and face-to-face tutorials. However, since the presentation of its first language course in 1995, the Centre for Modern Languages [CML] has actively investigated alternative means for the provision of language teaching and learning. This paper describes the projects undertaken over the past five years with a particular focus on the most recent studies, the Fluent Project [The establishment of a Framework for Language Use in Environments embedded in New Technologies] which used synchronous voice-over-Internet conferencing with learners of French and German and recent trials with Lyceum, an integrated audiographics package. We briefly discuss the role of the tutor in such virtual learning environments [VLEs] and we summarise learner responses and learning outcomes. Data collected include copies of student e-mail, audio recordings of the individual scheduled sessions, tutor observations and learner feedback obtained through a series of questionnaires.
Argumentative Interaction in an Academic E-mail Course
Authors: Marttunen Miika , Laurinen Leena
Published: December 2024

The shift from the information society towards the network society has brought with it new challenges to human communication. Now that we are used to sending e-mail messages and gathering information from the www, the question arises of how to make the best use of these technological tools. The easy and rapid way in which messages can be exchanged provides a good basis for developing communication skills, especially in a country like Finland where people prefer silent consideration to argumentative questioning. Previous studies (Steffensen, 1996) on higher education in Finland have indicated that the typical Finnish student lacks both a critical attitude towards knowledge and a willingness to engage in critical discussion. Similar results have also been reported by Mauranen (1993), Laurinen (1996) and Hirsjarvi, Book, and Penttinen (1996), who found that even though students were approaching the end of their studies, they nevertheless found it difficult to participate in seminar debates. They hesitated to criticize each others' opinions or that of the teacher, who was regarded as an authority whose views should not be called into question.
An Exploration of Language Use in the context of CMC
Authors: Miller Jane , Durndell Alan , Wrennall Mike , Mayes Terry
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this poster is to outline emerging work that is being undertaken at Glasgow Caledonian University to incorporate learning technology into an element of the first-year introduction to psychology module. Currently, for the initial pilot study, computer conferences have been set up for the students and their task is to generate ideas relevant to their essay topics and discuss them online. The students that participate in the online discussion groups are awarded bonus marks for their essays, depending on the extent and quality of their contribution. It is hoped that during the course of the investigation, the study will be repeated a number of times using a different sample of introductory psychology students each semester, with roughly fifty students in each sample. The learning strategy that has been adopted in this investigation is based upon constructivist and socio-cultural learning principles.

Learners orientated towards understanding and possessing organised study methods performed most effectively, successfully acting upon the affordances of the environments. The implications are discussed.
Problems at Crumpton
Authors: Staley Alan , Mackenzie Niall
Published: December 2024

The 'Problems at Crumpton' project is just one of a number of projects included in the four year Computer Supported Experiential Learning (CSEL) project at the University of Central England. Crumpton is an online spoof university that is having problems because of poorly designed curricula. Academic staff can access the Crumpton website, discover the problems by examining fictitious course documentation and watching a series of short video clips that vividly represent practice at Crumpton University. These clips, which are situated in real world contexts, include a conflict between external examiners, a mutiny in the staff common room, an employer enquiring about the students' skills, inappropriate teaching methods, and a student rebellion. The intention of this problem-based curriculum is to provide the motivational context in a fairly humorous way. Once academic staff have analysed the problems there is a structured study programme to follow, and then a conference in which to collaboratively discuss the issues and suggest tentative solutions. The context for 'Problems at Crumpton' is to provide innovative staff development for University tutors.
European Trade Union Distance Education: Potential and problems
Authors: Walker Steve , Creanor Linda
Published: December 2024

The growth of transnational corporations, and in Europe the development of a social dimension to the European Union have created greater needs for trade unions to collaborate at European and international levels. Education is a central activity of trade unions as preparation for action in the social and economic fields and the recent and rapid spread of the Internet has created an obvious opportunity to explore the role of computer mediated distance learning. The European Trade Union Distance Education project (EIUDE) is one example of a collaborative approach to networked learning, in the context of a particular community of practice.

Indeed, the development of digital technologies has revolutionized lib-raries by enabling the creation of digital databases, which make printed and handwritten heritage accessible to a global audience. A flexible search system is a cornerstone of such databases, ensuring that users can navigate vast amounts of information effectively. Authoritative records play a crucial role in this, as they establish a standardized, reliable foundation for organizing and retrieving information. These records not only ensure consistency across metadata but also enhance interoperability between different systems, facilitating a seamless user experience. The purpose of this article is to present the work on the creation and systematization of authoritative records, to emphasize their necessity in electronic catalogs and digital databases, and to outline the ways of their use. We have specified the general provisions with examples of the electronic catalog of the ASUE scientific library. The study was conducted based on primary and secon-dary information, such as internet articles and guides.
Terminologie diachronique de l’architecture bois. Évolution dans la presse professionnelle française (1934‑2021)
Authors: Larato Sidonie
Published: December 2024

Cette contribution présente les premières recherches conduites en terminologie diachronique sur un corpus d’articles de la presse professionnelle française contemporaine décrivant des ouvrages architecturaux en bois. L’évolution de la terminologie de l’architecture en bois entre 1934 et 2021 est étudiée à partir de 200 termes spécifiques extraits d’un corpus contrastif informé par l’histoire du domaine. L’analyse montre tout d’abord que l’architecture en bois est un domaine complexe qui se situe au carrefour de trois domaines spécialisés : l’architecture, le génie civil et la charpenterie. Deuxièmement, les évolutions techniques intervenues dans le domaine au milieu des années 1990 (notamment la diffusion de matériaux constructifs innovants dérivés du bois) s’accompagnent dans les discours de la presse professionnelle d’un accroissement de la part des termes du génie civil. De façon plus inattendue, certains termes de la charpenterie traditionnelle semblent être « recyclés » dans les articles les plus récents pour désigner des concepts pourtant éminemment innovants.
Fundamental properties of basilar pontine nuclei neurons and their role in cortico-cerebellar signaling
Authors:   , Khalil Ayoub Jilali
Published: December 2024

Everyday life is filled with essential tasks that depend on our ability to control our
movements finely and precisely. This ability, called motor control, is chiefly dependent on
two brain regions: the cortex and the cerebellum. These regions communicate indirectly
via the cortico-cerebellar pathway. The underlying mechanisms of motor control are not
completely understood. The work in this thesis seeks to clarify some of these mechanisms
by focusing on the basilar pontine nuclei (bPN), which form a critical node along the
cortico-cerebellar pathway. The contribution of the bPN to cortico-cerebellar signaling
has long been a subject of debate. Although the bPN are generally considered a simple
relay structure between the cortex and cerebellum, some studies suggest that they might
play a more active role. The work in thesis presents an analysis of the organization and
some fundamental properties of bPN neurons and proposes a new unifying hypothesis
on their role in the cortico-cerebellar pathway.
Considerations on the production and distribution of pottery in Dobruja at the beginning of the Middle Ages
Authors: Paraschiv-Talmațchi Cristina
Published: December 2024

The paper draws attention to data that confirm the establishment of craft areas and commercial activity providing evidence of the production and diffusion of pottery in the territory of Dobruja (southeastern Romania) in the 10–12th century. So far, local pottery production has been proven by four pottery workshops, two tools used to create decorations, fifteen single- or dual-chamber pottery kilns, a few semi-finished vessels, and production waste. Some clues on the distribution area of pottery made in Dobruja were obtained by analysing the decoration and fabric of vessels with potter’s marks. The data presented can contribute to the reconstruction of the production and distribution of pottery, the most abundant find type present in the record of dwellings from the beginning of the Middle Ages.
Measures to Improve Evacuation Safety of Large Supermarkets through Fire and Evacuation Simulation
Authors:   National Fire Research Institute of Korea, Lee Hong-Sang , Baek Boo-Hyun
Published: December 2024

This study proposes ways to improve evacuation safety by comparing and analyzing habitable and evacuation times obtained by conducting fire and evacuation simulations for large supermarkets. Considering the characteristics of large supermarkets with a large number of combustibles, a fire simulation was conducted according to the distance from the entrance. The result was a difference in the available safe escape time of 49 s. An evacuation simulation, considering that there were no regulations on the size of the intermediate sales stand and shopping carts placed between the sales counters, show that the required safe escape time has a large difference of 147.5 s, from a maximum of 468.3 s to a minimum of 320.8 s. The large supermarket selected as the subject of this experiment failed to secure evacuation safety because the evacuation time exceeded the habitable time. To improve the evacuation safety of large supermarkets, discussions are needed on the size of intermediate sales stands, shopping carts placed between sales counters, and the placement of products.

Authors: Ferreira Andrade Murilo , Sousa Ladeira Aires Franciane , Xavier Moreira dos Santos Apolliane
Published: December 2024

Práticas pedagógicas que promovam a reflexão e o questionamento, aliadas à legislação brasileira que prevê a inclusão da educação ambiental de forma transversal e interdisciplinar nos currículos escolares, são cruciais para a formação de cidadãos críticos e conscientes sobre as questões ambientais. Nesse contexto, o projeto de extensão "Educação Ambiental no Núcleo de Educação da Infância (NEDI): Brincando com Coisa Séria" foi implementado no Colégio de Aplicação da UFLA com o objetivo de sensibilizar e engajar crianças de 3 a 5 anos em práticas de sustentabilidade. Em 2021, foram desenvolvidas atividades educativas centradas em datas ambientais importantes, como o Dia Mundial da Água, o Dia Mundial do Meio Ambiente e o Dia Mundial do Solo. Usando vídeos e cartilhas, foram ensinadas práticas de conservação e sustentabilidade, tendo as redes sociais como principal meio de comunicação devido ao período de pandemia. No ano seguinte, foram introduzidas ações presenciais, como a pintura com tintas de terra e a construção de uma horta, conectando as crianças com a natureza e ensinando sobre agricultura sustentável e expressão artística. Durante a pandemia, o Instagram foi uma ferramenta essencial para divulgar essas iniciativas, alcançando amplo engajamento. As atividades online e presenciais buscaram promover uma educação ambiental prática, interativa e acessível, visando criar uma geração mais consciente e engajada com a sustentabilidade. As crianças não só aprenderam sobre temas como conservação de água e solo, mas também desenvolveram habilidades práticas e sociais, como paciência, responsabilidade e trabalho em equipe, em um esforço contínuo para fortalecer a educação ambiental.
AILING and FAILING Implants- A Review
Authors:   Lenora Institute of Dental Sciences, Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, Rao Dr.B.Lakshmana
Published: December 2024

Implants that show indications of problems but are not quite at the point of failure are referred to as failing implants. The
long-term prognosis of the implant may be impacted by these problems, which can include mild to moderate peri-implant
illnesses including peri-implant mucositis or modest bone loss. Moderate bone loss (usually less than 2 mm) and minor
inflammation, such as peri-implant mucositis, are common symptoms of failing implants. One reversible stage of implant
problems is represented by failing implants. Severe bone loss, peri-implantitis, or implant mobility are some of the worst
side effects of failing implants that jeopardize their stability and functionality. Failing implants may need to be removed
or undergo substantial treatment in order to restore the patient's dental health, in contrast to ailing implants, which are still
functioning. Advanced peri-implantitis, substantial bone loss (more than 2 mm), or implant movement are frequently
linked to failing implants. For the failure to be managed, these problems must be identified early. In certain situations,
implant removal is required, followed by methods for bone regeneration and perhaps reimplantation. The patient's oral
health and function can be preserved with prompt action. With a focus on early detection and management to stop the
development to implant failure, this review paper sought to investigate the causes, diagnostic techniques, and therapeutic
approaches for malfunctioning implants.
FRAUD PULSE
Authors: Rajapandian P. , Ramyasri R. , Shivani A. Deepa
Published: December 2024

The proliferation of e-commerce and advanced communication
technologies has made credit cards the dominant payment method
globally, both online and offline. This surge in credit card usage,
however, has concurrently fueled a significant rise in fraudulent
activities, resulting in substantial financial losses for individuals
and businesses alike. Fraudsters continuously adapt their tactics,
posing a significant challenge for researchers developing
effective fraud detection systems. The inherent class imbalance in
credit card fraud datasets—where legitimate transactions vastly
outnumber fraudulent ones— further complicates the
development of accurate detection models. Given the crucial role
credit cards play in modern economies, impacting households,
businesses, and global enterprises, the need for robust fraud
detection mechanisms is paramount. This research proposes a
Gradient Boosting Classifier, a powerful machine learning
technique, as a novel approach to address this critical issue. Our
experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the
proposed method compared to other machine learning algorithms,
achieving a training accuracy of 100% and a test accuracy of 91%.
This high accuracy underscores the effectiveness of the Gradient
Boosting Classifier in accurately identifying fraudulent credit
card transactions, offering a significant contribution to mitigating
the risks associated with this pervasive form of financial crime.

Algı ve Kitle Yönetim Aracı Örneği Olarak Hz. Muhammed (s.a.v.) Dönemi Şiir Anlayışı
Authors: Büyükarslan Bürhan Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Arap toplumunda şiir, kültürel bir aktarım aracı olarak merkezî bir role sahip olmuştur. Şairler, şiir yoluyla sadece estetik kaygılarla değil, aynı zamanda toplumsal normları, değerleri ve gelenekleri aktararak kültürel hafızaya katkıda bulunmuşlardır. Şiir, kabileler arasında üstünlük yarışlarının bir aracı olarak kullanılmış ve siyasî güç üzerinde etkili olmuştur. Bu bağlamda, şiirin günümüz sosyal medya platformlarına benzer işlevler gördüğü, toplumsal algıları şekillendirerek kitleleri etkilediği ve yönlendirdiği söylenebilir. Çalışmanın amacı, Hz. Muhammed döneminde Müslümanların ve müşriklerin, kişileri ve kitleleri yönlendirmek gayesiyle şiiri, algı ve kitle yönetim aracı olarak kullanma faaliyetlerini incelemektir. Çalışma nitel araştırma tekniklerinden doküman inceleme yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Medine’de İslâm Devleti kurulduğunda, Ka’b b. Eşref, Medine İslâm Devleti’ne karşı ordu toplamak için Mekke’ye gitmiş ve şiirleri ile müşrikleri örgütlemeye çalışmıştır. Bu örgütlenme faaliyetleri esnasında misafir olarak birtakım kişilerin evlerinde kalmıştır. Hassân b. Sâbit ise Ka’b’ı misafir eden her ev sahibi için hiciv içeren bir şiir yazmıştır. En sonunda Ka’b, Medine’ye geri dönmek zorunda kalmış ve mümin kadınları taciz içeren şiirler yazması, mevcut meşru otoriteyi yıkmak için iç isyan teşviki ve dış destek arama faaliyetleri nedeni ile cezalandırılmıştır.
Gölgenin çizgisi ya da gölgeyi çizgide/n okumak
Authors: Çamdereli Mete
Published: December 2024

Çizgi, bir uzama bırakılan imgesel bir izdir. Çeşitli figür ve şekiller aracılığıyla sanat ve iletişim ortamlarının olmazsa olmazıdır. Çizgisel görseller fiziki tasarımlar aracılığıyla uzama yansır; amaçlanmış imge ve simgeleri temsil ve tasvir ederler. Gölge olgusu da çizgisel tasarımlarda çokça kullanılan özerk ya da tamamlayıcı bir imgedir. Bu çalışmada, gölge imgesi çizgisel tasarımlardan okunmaya çalışılacaktır. Çizgi sanatından seçilen sınırlı sayıda ürünü, yapılacak çözümlemelerin inceleme nesnesi olarak belirledik. Bütünceyi oluşturan çizgiler, Hasan Aycın’ın gölge imgesi ile tasarladığı sayısız çizgiden birkaçıyla -rastlantısal olarak seçilmiş on çizgi- sınırlanmış ve söylem çözümlemesine tabi tutulmuştur. Bunu yapmaktaki amaç, çizgilerdeki gölgelerin imgesel iz ve izleklerini anlamak/anlamlamaktan ibarettir. Çözümlemeler sonucunda, tutsaklık ya da kımıltısızlıktan bilgelik ya da varoluşa, oradan nefs, sadakat ve mücadeleye dek çeşitli imgelere erişildi. Bütün bu imgeleri tekil bir imgeye indirmenin ya da tikel izlekler halinde kategorize etmenin imkansızlığı belirlenmiş oldu, ama aynı zamanda sanatçının gölge imgesini sürdürülebilir standart bir imge olarak tasarlamadığı da saptanmış oldu.

Wetgeven op een eiland van zon en zachte wind. Een verslag van de wetgevingspraktijk op Bonaire

Dit artikel geeft een blik in de ‘kushina’ van het wetgevingswerk op Bonaire. De BES-eilanden hebben een eigen wetgevingsbestand, gevormd door nationale BES-regelgeving en lokale verordeningen en besluiten. In 2010 is bij de staatsrechtelijke transitie veel Nederlands-Antilliaanse regelgeving, al dan niet in aangepaste vorm, blijven bestaan. De kabinetsstandpunten die daarop volgden, te weten ‘legislatieve terughoudendheid’ (2010-2019) en ‘comply or explain’ (2019-heden), hebben het wetgevingsbestand verder beïnvloed. Ook het wetgevingswerk ter plaatse kent zijn eigen uitdagingen en bijzonderheden, zoals de juridische status van de eilanden, de uitvoeringscapaciteit, consultaties van nationale regelgeving, ontbrekende regelgeving en de vindbaarheid van wet- en regelgeving.
A Case of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in a Young Patient With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors:   Rush University Medical Center, Gill Malika , Adochio Emily , Forrest Graeme
Published: December 2024

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
(XDR TB) pose significant challenges to global health. We present a 37-year-old male with rheumatoid
arthritis who was diagnosed with MDR TB, highlighting the complexities of diagnosis and treatment in
such cases. Despite initial treatment with a standard 4–drug regimen, resistance testing revealed the
need for a more tailored approach using bedaquiline, pretomanid, and linezolid (BPaL) for a 26–week
course. Delving into the background of MDR and XDR TB, this paper reviews the origins of resistance
mechanisms, and global prevalence of these resistant strains. Recent developments in treatment with
the BPaL regimen offer promising outcomes, but they also come with challenges, including adverse
reactions to medications. The evolving landscape of MDR and XDR TB treatment signifies progress,
yet underscores the ongoing need for research and optimization in combating these resilient strains
of tuberculosis.

El murmullo de lo fantástico en dos novelas neorrurales: La forastera de Olga Merino (2020) y Vibración (2024) de José Ovejero
Authors: Malpartida Tirado Rafael
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo, partiendo de la palabra murmullo y de su vinculación con lo espectral (que debemos en buena medida a Pedro Páramo de Juan Rulfo), se analiza el modo en que se cruzan los elementos fantásticos con la memoria histórica en dos recientes novelas neorrurales, La forastera de Olga Merino y Vibración de José Ovejero. En el caso de la primera, se explica cómo un espíritu actúa como adyuvante en las pesquisas de la protagonista; para la segunda, se desgranan las tres partes en que se divide, analizando su disposición y su empleo de numerosos elementos fantasmagóricos para evocar la memoria de un pueblo del que todos quieren huir. Por último, se concluye apuntando a la vinculación de estas dos novelas con Pedro Páramo, en el primer caso de signo actancial y en el segundo de índole estructural.
La representación de la memoria histórica a través de la serie surcoreana El monstruo de la vieja Seúl (Netflix: 2023)
Authors: Dueñas Mohedas Sonia , Martínez Pérez Natalia
Published: December 2024

Las series de televisión de corte histórico no solo buscan entretener a su audiencia, sino que también desempeñan un papel crucial en la recuperación de la memoria colectiva al articular un enfoque pedagógico que permite abordar cuestiones históricas de manera revisionista. Esta perspectiva ha surgido recientemente en la ficción audiovisual surcoreana tras décadas de censura que silenciaron las narrativas sobre el pasado. Ejemplo paradigmático es la serie El monstruo de la vieja Seúl (Netflix, 2023), un drama histórico que combina elementos del fantástico y terror ubicado a finales de la ocupación colonial japonesa. Su protagonista, un monstruo horrible y violento, fruto de experimentos científicos con humanos por parte del ejército nipón, supone una reinterpretación de la memoria histórica desde el presente. La serie, que articula un discurso en torno a la (re)construcción de la identidad cultural surcoreana, invita al público global a conocer su historia más reciente.

El tratamiento de las unidades fraseológicas en el Diccionario español-chino contemporáneo
Authors: Ji Shaokang
Published: December 2024

El Diccionario español-chino contemporáneo (DEC) es una obra lexicográfica reciente en que se incluyen numerosas unidades fraseológicas (UFS) en español. Sin embargo, el tratamiento de las UFS en los diccionarios bilingües suele presentar varios desafíos. Este estudio analiza el tratamiento de las UFS en el DEC, identifica puntos positivos y negativos y propone soluciones para mejorar esta obra lexicográfica. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, se tienen en cuenta las entradas que contienen UFS. Se evalúan aspectos como el criterio de selección, los tipos de UFS incluidas, la clasificación fraseológica y su marcación, la ubicación en la macroestructura y microestructura, la lematización, la traducción, la información de uso, las variantes y el cumplimiento de las necesidades específicas de los usuarios. Además, se revisan el prólogo, la instrucción de uso, la lista de abreviaturas y los apéndices del diccionario. El estudio revela que, aunque el DEC incluye una amplia variedad de UFS y sus traducciones son generalmente adecuadas, se observa una falta de claridad en el criterio de selección y lematización y una inconsistencia tanto en la clasificación como en la marcación gramatical. Asimismo, a pesar de que la definición de las UFS es correcta en muchos casos, podría beneficiarse de explicaciones adicionales para asegurar la comprensión del significado figurado, así como en un mayor uso de ejemplos. Finalmente, dado que el DEC está destinado principalmente a estudiantes chinos de ELE, sería conveniente incluir contenido especial para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de estos usuarios.
El hilemorfismo de las crónicas de las «Indias de Dios»
Authors: Serés Guillermo
Published: December 2024

El modelo hilemórfico fundamentó moralmente el descubrimiento, conquista, colonización y evangelización del Nuevo Mundo. La dificultad y denuedo de la empresa, y los consiguientes frutos que reportó, sirvieron, a su vez, como imagen o réplica de la conquista del alma, en la que, merced a la oración, meditación y contemplación, el hombre va a descubrir y conquistar un tesoro, y va dar forma a la materia. Si el tesoro de las Indias es humano (y colectivo), el del alma, es divino (e individual), pero los dos requieren ser descubiertos, conquistados, conformados y regidos por la ley divina.

Os principais achados indicam que a implementação da inteligência artificial (IA) na radiologia tem potencial significativo para aprimorar o diagnóstico e tratamento, com destaque para a redução de erros e a otimização do fluxo de trabalho, especialmente em contextos de alta demanda. Os estudos sugerem que ainda há necessidade de desenvolvimento da IA em alguns casos, como os de menor sensibilidade em determinados diagnósticos ou a superestimação de casos, especificamente no que diz respeito aos casos de displasias renais ou doenças oftalmológicas. As pesquisas evidenciaram a necessidade de mais estudos longitudinais e do desenvolvimento de estratégias que possam ser aplicadas à prática clínica/política pública

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o potencial do estado do Paraná em produzir biogás e biometano através de dejetos de suínos em terminação. Primeiramente foi calculado o potencial somando os suínos abatidos em todos os 399 municípios, posteriormente foi determinado o potencial das dez mesorregiões do estado foi escolhido as subdivisões de acordo com a lei estadual 15.825/08. Também foi determinado as cidades com maior potencial de acordo com cada mesorregião, para realização do cálculo foram realizados com dados de medições coletados de uma propriedade modelo produtora de suínos em terminação os dados utilizados da propriedade modelo foram produção específica de biogás por animal por dia. Além disso, também foi utilizado como parâmetro a quantidade de biogás necessário para produzir um kWh de energia elétrica. Para os dados de número de cabeças de suínos abatidos foram utilizados dados da SEAB da produção bruta do ano de 2023 onde consta que no Paraná foram abatidos 11.446.196 de suínos, assim com os dados de abate de suínos e produção específica de biogás foi possível realizar tal determinação, bem como, a realização do equivalente do potencial de biogás gerado em geração de energia elétrica.

Araştırma sonucunda, incelenen özellikler üzerine çeşidin ve azot dozlarının istatistiksel olarak önemli etkisi olduğu belirlenmiş, ancak bu etki yıllara göre değişkenlik göstermiştir. Tane verimi ise PC912 çeşidinde 362.67-951.22 kg/da, SH3077 çeşidinde 348.08-924.25 kg/da arasında değişmiştir. Yavaş salınımlı Novatec gübre uygulamasının cin mısırında verim ve verim öğeleri üzerinde önemli artış sağladığı (tane verimi: birinci yıl %7.97, ikinci yıl %10.7 oranında artmıştır) ve her iki cin mısırı çeşidinin de Isparta ekolojik koşullarında yetiştirilebileceği belirlenmiştir.
Autisme, handicap et neurodiversité : Réflexions sur un concept contesté et ses effets sur la recherche dans et à partir du Sud global
Authors: Adriano Luana , Aydos Valéria
Published: December 2024

Le présent travail analyse les coproductions et l’intersectionnalité des catégories « neurodiversité » et « handicap » dans les milieux universitaire et activiste. Il réfléchit à la manière dont est pensée et matérialisée la catégorie « neurodiversité » dans les pratiques des activistes autistes, afin de problématiser les conceptions et les revendications de droits qui permettent son « anthropophagie glocale ». Sur la base d’une révision bibliographique et d’une participation fondée sur l’observation à des recherches universitaire-activiste émancipatrices sur les personnes autistes, l’objectif est double : mettre en question la critique universitaire à partir d’un mouvement social de personnes autistes ; et mettre en question la critique activiste globale à partir des articulations d’un collectif universitaire-activiste au Brésil. Pour contribuer au débat, le texte montre que dans la pratique du collectif, le mouvement militant brésilien met en avant une « identité neurodiverse » en tant qu’articulateur biopolitique d’une collectivité, et ce, tout en comprenant l’autisme comme un « handicap » dans la clé du modèle social et des droits de l’homme – un concept présent dans les principales législations brésiliennes sur le sujet.
Autismo, discapacidad y neurodiversidad: propuestas para reflexionar sobre un concepto controvertido y sus efectos en la investigación en y desde el Sur Global
Authors: Adriano Luana , Aydos Valéria
Published: December 2024

En este texto reflexionamos sobre las coproducciones e interseccionalidades de las categorías "neurodiversidad" y "discapacidad" en la Academia y el Activismo. En este movimiento, nos preguntamos cómo la categoría "neurodiversidad" está siendo pensada y materializada en las prácticas de activistas autistas, con el objetivo de problematizar las concepciones y reivindicaciones de derechos a través de la categoría "neurodiversidad" que posibilitan su "antropofagia global". A partir de una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema y de la participación observadora en investigaciones académico-activistas emancipadoras sobre autistas, buscamos combinar un doble movimiento: tensionar la crítica académica a partir de un movimiento social de autistas; y tensionar la crítica activista global a partir de las articulaciones de un colectivo académico-activista en Brasil. Como contribución al debate, mostramos, en la práctica del colectivo, cómo el movimiento activista brasileño activa una "identidad neurodiversa" como articuladora biopolítica de una colectividad, al mismo tiempo que entiende el autismo como una "discapacidad", en la clave del Modelo Social y de los Derechos Humanos, concepto que habita en la principal legislación brasileña sobre el tema.
Judicial Discretion in Sentencing Perpetrators of Aggravated Assault: An Analysis of Decision Number 221/Pid.B/2024/PN Rhl

Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze judicial discretion in sentencing perpetrators of aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury. The research method employed is normative legal research with a statute approach and a case study approach, which is analyzed qualitatively through content analysis. The results show that the defendant was charged alternatively with a primary indictment of attempted murder, a subsidiary indictment of aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury, and a lesser subsidiary indictment of simple assault. The charges by the Public Prosecutor were in line with the subsidiary indictment of aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury as supported by the Visum et Repertum. Conversely, the judge’s verdict, based on the lesser subsidiary indictment of simple assault, emphasizes judicial discretion. Judicial discretion is an effort to balance the enforcement of positive law and the achievement of substantive justice by considering the values that live in society (living law). The decision reflects the struggle between formal legality and contextual substantive justice. Therefore, more precise guidelines are needed regarding the limits and parameters of judicial discretion, especially in cases that intersect with living law. Improving the quality of the Visum et Repertum and strengthening judges’ capacity to understand living law are also important to strive for in order to achieve a responsive and just judicial system.

Objetivo: Verificar a potencialidade e a ação bactericida de membranas de quitosana (QTS) com associações de N-acilidrazona (JR19) em diferentes concentrações para o tratamento de feridas. Metodologia: Os filmes foram desenvolvidos a partir das soluções de QTS e acetato de polivinila (PVA). Foram analisados: FI, filme de QTS; F2, filme de QTS+PVA na proporção de 1:1; F3, filme com 8,6 mg de JR19 adicionados à solução de QTS usada em F1; F4, filme com 8,6 mg de JR19 e 1 mg de Sulfadiazina de prata (AgSD) adicionados a 10 ml da solução de F2; F5, filme com 1 mg de JR19 e 1 mg de AgSD adicionados a 10 ml da solução de F2. A constatação da atividade antimicrobiana dos filmes de polímero de QTS com derivados JR19 foi realizada pela técnica de difusão de discos em meio de cultura sólido Ágar Müeller Hinton. Resultados: O F1 foi desprezado devido à forte repulsão eletrostática com meio de cultura sólido ágar, que causou deformação e inviabilizou a cultura. A ausência de atividade inibitória microbiana dos filmes F2, F3 e F5 sobre os S. aureus foi evidenciada pela formação de colônias bacterianas frente e verso sobre os filmes de polímero de QTS com derivados de JR19. Conclusão: A sinergia entre JR19 e AgSD na membrana F4 é vantajosa para a cicatrização de feridas devido às suas propriedades complementares. No entanto, a segurança e a eficácia em ensaios clínicos precisam ser mais exploradas para uma terapia alternativa segura e eficaz.

Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Este trabalho objetivou descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos casos notificados de esquistossomose no estado de Pernambuco (PE) entre 2017 e 2021. Métodos: Esse estudo transversal utilizou dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan), obtidos no TABNET DATASUS, referentes a todos os casos de esquistossomose notificados em Pernambuco entre 2017 e 2021. Para o estudo, foram designadas variáveis clínico-epidemiológicas, como sexo, idade, raça/cor, escolaridade, forma clínica, evolução da doença, análise quantitativa (exame coproscópico) e análise qualitativa (testes sorológicos). Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se estatística descritiva simples, calculada no software de planilha eletrônica Microsoft Excel®. Resultados: Durante o período, houve 906 casos de esquistossomose em Pernambuco, com predominância em homens (53,1%), na faixa etária de 40 - 59 anos (33,3%) e em indivíduos negros (68,7%). A forma clínica mais comum foi a intestinal (31,6%). Do total, 48,3% evoluíram para a cura e 11,0% para o óbito. A análise quantitativa revelou que 57,4% dos casos não apresentaram ovos no exame, enquanto 39,9% tiveram resultado positivo na análise qualitativa. Conclusão: Este estudo evidenciou a esquistossomose como um problema de saúde pública em Pernambuco. É essencial direcionar esforços educativos e ações de controle para grupos vulneráveis, priorizando a detecção precoce e o tratamento adequado, além de revisar estratégias de saúde pública em diferentes regiões para combater a esquistossomose prontamente.
