"Kuuluuko täältä, kuuluuko nyt?": Tohtoriopiskelijoiden verkkovälitteisen kirjoitusopetuksen ongelmatilanteiden neksusanalyysi
Authors: Aarnikoivu Melina , Saarinen Taina
Published: June 2020

Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitimme, millaisia ongelmatilanteita tohtoriopiskelijoiden monikanavaiseen seminaaritoimintaan sisältyi. Lisäksi tutkimme, millaisia seurauksia tilanteista aiheutui. Tutkimuksen teoreettismetodologisena viitekehyksenä käytimme neksusanalyysiä (Scollon & Scollon, 2004). Tutkimusaineistomme koostui tohtoriopiskelijoille järjestettyjen ”kirjoitusklinikoiden” aikana tehdyistä etnografisista havainnoista, klinikoissa käytetyn AdobeConnectin välityksellä käydyistä chat-keskusteluista, klinikoihin liittyvistä Yammer-keskusteluista sekä tohtoriopiskelijoille ja ohjaajille suunnatun verkkokyselyn tuloksista. Analyysimme perusteella tunnistimme kolme laajempaa kategoriaa, joihin tutkitun kontekstin ongelmatilanteet liittyivät: teknologia, toimijat ja kieli. Ongelmatilanteet veivät aikaa pois käsiteltävältä asialta, vaikeuttivat osallistumista, estivät sen kokonaan, vaikuttivat osallistumisen mielekkyyteen tai koettuun hyödyllisyyteen ja aiheuttivat muita negatiivisia tuntemuksia osallistujissa. Tutkimus ja sen tulokset siirtävät huomion siihen, mitä tapahtuu, kun haluttu tai odotettu välitteinen sosiaalinen toiminta jostain syystä estyy ja auttaa siten suunnittelemaan sitä, miten monikanavaista seminaaritoimintaa voitaisi tohtoriopinnoissa sekä muussa yliopisto-opetuksessa kehittää.

Пандемия COVID-19 не только создала серьезные угрозы для физического здоровья населения, но и вызвала широкий спектр психологических проблем. Целью работы было выявить структуру тревожных переживаний населения в период эпидемии и определить наиболее уязвимые социальные группы (в том числе среди лиц с аффективными расстройствами), больше всего нуждающиеся в психологической и/или психиатрической помощи. Было проведено онлайн-анкетирование 1957 русскоговорящих респондентов старше 18 лет в период с 30 марта по 5 апреля 2020 г. Уровень тревожного дистресса верифицировали по шкале психологического стресса (PSM-25), стигматизацию лиц с респираторными симптомами — по модифицированному опроснику обесценивания/дискриминации (PDD; Cronbach's α = 0,707). У 99,8% респондентов обнаружено сочетание нескольких типов тревожных переживаний о COVID-19, показатель стресса был повышен до уровня средней интенсивности (104,9 ± 34,4 балла), а показатель стигматизации превосходил медианное значение по выборке (19,5 ± 3,4; Me = 17). До 35% респондентов имели опасения, ассоциированные с тревожным дистрессом (Cohen’s d = 0,16–0,39): «риск изоляции» и «возможное отсутствие лекарств для ежедневного приема». Особенно подверженными психологическому стрессу оказались страдающие аффективными расстройствами, лица молодого возраста (≤ 20 лет), безработные, холостые/незамужние, не имеющие высшего образования и женщины. Таким образом, широкие слои населения нуждаются в коррекции дистрессовых опасений на фоне пандемии COVID-19, поэтому их проведение должно быть адресным, ориентированным по степени охвата и содержанию на выявленные уязвимые социальные группы.

Life is very precious for everyone. Life needs proper care and nurture. Human life depends on society. Only in a good society we can find a good life.  Life is simple, very little is needed to make it happy. But social evils insist on making it complicated. Social evils in society have become a serious concern in the present day world. It is gradually affecting roots of our culture and its blocking its rapid growth on the global chart. The aim of writing this research paper is to highlight Social Evils in rural and urban societies. This research paper will explore the meaning, reason, effect of social evils in the light of the analysis of two novels of Kamala Markandaya, an Indian English writer. The research paper entitled ‘The portrayal of Social Evils in Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve and A Handful of Rice.’ In this paper, the effort is made to study Kamala Markandaya’s Social Evils in Nectar in a Sieve and A Handful of Rice. We will find poverty, hunger, starvation, beggary, prostitution, crime, unemployment and many more social evils in both novels. Kamala Markandaya’s A Handful of Rice and Nectar in a Sieve nothing but an account of the suffering of the rural and urban people, and how the cruelty of social evil resulting in suffering, death and misfortune is more explicit in both novels. Poverty is the everyday reality of the characters in the both novels.  Poverty is not an abstract concept that one can really think about, it’s like wolf at the door that must constantly be staved off. Both novels are a jolt to awaken the society against social evils.

Published: June 2020

Currently, African swine fever (ASF) is one of the biggest global economic challenges in Europe and Asia. Despite all the efforts done to understand the mechanism of spread, presence and maintenance of ASF in domestic pigs and wild boar, there are still many gaps in the knowledge on its epidemiology.

This study aims to describe spatial and temporal patterns of ASF spread in wild boar and domestic pigs in the country during the last three years. Methods of Spatio-temporal scanning statistics of Kulldorff (SatScan) and Mann-Kendell statistics (space-time cube) were used to identify potential clusters of outbreaks and the presence of hot spots (areas of active flare clusters), respectively. The results showed that ASF in the country has a local epidemic pattern of spread (11 explicit clusters in wild boar and 16 epizootic clusters were detected in the domestic pig population: 11 in the European part and 5 in the Asian part), and only six of them are overlapped suggesting that ASF epidemics in domestic pigs and wild boar are two separate processes. In the Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Ivanovo, Novgorod, Pskov, Leningrad regions, the clusters identified are characterized as sporadic epidemics clusters, while in the Ulyanovsk region, Primorsky Territory, and the Jewish Autonomous Region the clusters are consistent. Considering the low biosecurity level of pig holdings in the far east and its close economic and cultural connections with China as well as other potential risk factors, it can be expected that the epidemic will be present in the region for a long time. The disease has spread in the country since 2007, and now it is reoccurring in some of the previously affected regions. Outbreaks in the domestic pig sector can be localized easily (no pattern detected), while the presence of the virus in wildlife (several consecutive hot spots detected) hampers its complete eradication. Although the disease has different patterns of spread over the country its driving forces remain the same (human-mediated spread and wild boar domestic-pigs mutual spillover). The results indicate that despite all efforts taken since 2007, the policy of eradication of the disease needs to be reviewed, especially measures in wildlife.

Published: June 2020

A 6.5-year-old female bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) was presented with a swollen right pelvic limb. A tissue core biopsy from the swollen area was performed and a presumptive histopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was made. This diagnosis was confirmed after limb amputation. Two months after amputation a sudden deterioration in the overall health of the patient occurred. Ultrasound examination of the coelomic cavity revealed hypoechoic lesions in the liver. The patient was euthanized and submitted for necropsy which revealed a severely enlarged liver with multiple coalescing yellowish nodules. Cholangiocarcinoma of the liver with metastases to the spleen, left mesovarium and right pelvic limb was diagnosed after histopathological examination.

Authors: Sobolak Mariusz , Połowniak Piotr , Marciniec Adam , Jagiełowicz Patrycja Ewa
Published: June 2020

The paper presents the method of approximating curves with a single segment of the B-Spline and Bézier curves. The method for determining a single curve segment using the optimization methods in the CATIA environment is shown. The algorithms of simulated annealing and design of experiment are used for optimization. For the same purpose, a new original procedure for determining the distance between the given curves using explicit parameters in the CATIA environment was also used. This approximation of the cyclic curves results in the curve oscillation as shown in the examples. The results show that the approximation method with Bézier curve using control points as “free” points can be applied to obtain the best results of approximation.

Published: June 2020

Recent studies have demonstrated a significant role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) defects in the pathogenesis of many human and some canine tumours. The aim of this study was to identify mutations in the ND2 and ND4 mitochondrial genes in canine mast cell tumours and determine their association with the process of neoplastic transformation and the phenotypic traits of dogs. In total, 136 gene sequences from 68 biological samples, including blood and neoplastic tissue samples from 34 dogs with diagnosed MCTs, were analysed. The study consisted in DNA sequencing of the ND2 and ND4 genes as well as bioinformatics and statistical analyses. For the first time, mutations in NADH-dehydrogenase genes were detected in dogs with MCTs. In total, 22 polymorphic loci and 19 mutations in the ND2 and ND4 genes were identified. The majority of the identified mutations were homoplasmic, and tumour heteroplasmy was detected in eight nucleotide positions in three dogs. Seven of the ND2 mutations and two of the ND4 mutations caused an amino acid change. The changes in non-synonymous protein-coding SNPs did not exert an adverse effect on proteins. A statistically significant correlation of the presence of mutations/polymorphisms with the sex, age, and size of the dogs and the tumour location was demonstrated. Polymorphisms and mutations in NADH-dehydrogenase genes, including mastocyte-specific changes, in canine mast cell tumours that had not been reported earlier in the literature were identified. Some of these changes may imply that these are the hotspot mutations in canine mast cell tumours. It cannot be excluded that the molecular changes are directly associated with the development of mast cell tumours, and further investigations are needed to verify whether they can become molecular markers of MCTs in the future.
Financial and Personal Issues of the Transferred State Administration Competencies in the Building Procedure to Municipality Offices
Authors: Lichnerová Ivana
Published: June 2020

The aim of the paper is to draw attention to consequences of the transfer of competency at the level of the building procedure from state authorities to municipal offices in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic. The defined research objective was achieved firstly by conducting controlled interviews with representatives of the building offices in the Nitra Region and, secondly, by analysis of financing of this competency from the obtained data from publicly available sources in both states. Secondly, the paper includes a comparison of the financial management of the transferred competencies at the level of the building procedure between the Nitra Region (Slovakia) and the Pardubice Region (Czech Republic). By conducting controlled interviews in the Nitra Region, we came to the conclusion of the financial under-dimensioning of this competency. By comparing the amount of state subsidies provided for the building procedure in both regions, significant differences were found. Based on our research findings, we recommend reassessing the state subsidies for the transferred competency in the field of building procedure.

Published: June 2020

The dynamic development of the world economy entails an increasing exchange of goods and population. This means that we are globally struggling with increasing levels of nosocomial infections. The increasing use of antimicrobial agents triggers the microorganisms’ immune system, which in turn contributes to the increasing amount of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, making it necessary to control the development of unwanted microorganisms, including bacteria, especially those carried on the body and clothing.

Currently, there is no unique method to combat the multiplication of microorganisms and eliminate threats to human health and life. For this reason, this article describes the possibilities of using graphene materials as a potential additive materials in fiber finishes as an antibacterial aspect in various areas of life. However, the literature does not explain the mechanisms behind the antibacterial properties of graphene, strongly limiting its textile application. The research is conducted using molecular dynamic simulations of interaction between graphene materials and murein. The obtained results suggest the electrostatic mechanism of blocking the growth and division of bacteria. Due to the physical interaction, bacterial cell becomes “trapped” without changing its growth parameters. This may lead to an increase of internal cell pressure, rupture of its wall and consequently its death.
Structural Damage Characteristics of a Layer-to-Layer 3-D Angle-Interlock Woven Composite Subjected to Drop-Weight Impact

Published: June 2020

The most attractive structural feature of the three-dimensional (3D) angle-interlock woven structure is that the straight weft yarns are bundled by the undulated warp yarns, which induces the overall good structural stability and a stable fabric structure. Thus the 3-D angle-interlock woven composite (3DAWC) prepared by the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) curing process has excellent mechanical properties by using the fabric and epoxy resin as the reinforcement and matrix, respectively. The low-velocity impact damage properties of the composites under different drop-weight energies (70, 80, and 100 J) were tested experimentally. The load–displacement curves, energy–time curves, and the ultimate failure modes were obtained to analyze the performance of resistance to low-velocity impact, as well as the impact energy absorption effect and failure mechanism, especially the structural damage characteristics of the 3DAWC subjected to the low-velocity impact of drop weight. By analyzing the obtained experimental results, it is found that the fabric reinforcement is the primary energy absorption component and the impact energy mainly propagates along the longitudinal direction of the yarns, especially the weft yarn system, which is arranged in a straight way. In addition, as the impact energy increases, the energy absorbed and dissipated by the composite increases simultaneously. This phenomenon is manifested in the severity of deformation and damage of the material, i.e., the amount of deformation and size of the damaged area.

Published: June 2020

Textile yarns are subjected to numerous types of forces during knitting, usually leading to yarn damages, such as decrease in tensile, bending, shearing, and surface properties, which are closely related to different yarn properties, knitted structures/actions, and machine settings. This article comprehensively evaluated yarn damages in the computerized flat knitting process. Five different commercially available and commonly used yarns including cotton, wool, polyester, acrylic, and viscose were selected as raw materials, and the tensile, bending, shear, and frictional properties were investigated and compared before knitting and after being unraveled from plain- and rib-knitted fabrics, respectively. The results show that knitting actions/structures exhibit different damage extents for all different raw materials. It has been observed that the modulus is declined by 3–30% for bending, 2–10% for tensile, and 8–80% for shearing due to flat knitting action, respectively. The frictional coefficient of yarns also increased from 6 to 23%. As compared to yarn before knitting, the yarns unroved from plain and rib structures have been damaged to a great extent as a result of the loss of mechanical properties. The results are completely in agreement with the statistical analysis that clearly represents the significant loss in yarn properties during the knitting process. The microscopic analysis of the yarns clearly illustrates the effect of knitting action on yarn surface and mechanical properties. For yarn’s cross-sectional shearing properties testing, this article self-designed an innovative “Yarn Shear Testing Device.” The methodology and results are of great importance for improving the quality of knitted products, evaluating knitting yarns’ knittability, and in the development of high-performance technical textiles.
Performance of Fly Ash - Lime Stabilized Lateritic Soil Blocks Subjected to Alternate Cycles of Wetting and Drying
Authors: James Jijo , Saraswathy Rajasekaran
Published: June 2020

The study investigated the durability performance of lime and fly ash stabilized lateritic soil blocks subjected to conditions of alternate wetting and drying. A locally available lateritic soil was collected and characterized in the laboratory for its geotechnical properties. The soil was then stabilized using lime and fly ash of various combinations. The blocks were tested for their compressive strength, water absorption and efflorescence. Durability was evaluated by subjecting the blocks to three cycles of wetting and drying and testing its compressive strength. The investigation revealed that fly ash-lime stabilization was capable of producing stabilized blocks meeting the standard requirements of Indian codes in terms of compressive strength, water absorption and efflorescence. The results revealed that a combination of 10 % fly ash with 10 % lime was enough to stabilize the soil to achieve the strength of a class 20 block whereas a combination of 10 % fly ash and 14 % lime was required to achieve the strength of a class 30 block. Wetting and drying cycles resulted in a marginal increase in strength after the first cycle but reduction thereafter. The optimal combination of 10 % fly ash and 14 % lime resulted in less than 25 % loss in strength after three cycles of wetting and drying.

Authors: Bakhtiari Parham , Bargi Khosro
Published: June 2020

The assessment of the seismic behavior of the high-speed railway bridges is necessary because of the strategic essence of these structures. Evaluating and predicting damages of the bridges that originated by earthquakes with various intensities can provide useful information, which is very helpful in the management of the possible crises. One of the most useful mechanisms for estimating earthquake damages to these bridges is the development of fragility curves for them. Studies on the production of fragility curves on the high-speed railway bridges are limited. In this research, the fragility curve is plotted for two high-speed railway bridges with different pier heights. Due to the differences in the height of these bridges, a comparison of the performance of these structures is also shown. The model of the high-speed railway bridge was created for each model separately in the SeismoStruct software. The soil-structure interaction is also modeled as springs, and its effects are considered. Nonlinear models are also used to model concrete and steel materials. Then, the incremental dynamic analysis was performed under different ground motion records. By using the obtained data from the analysis, appropriate damage states were selected, and finally, the fragility curves were plotted for different performance limit states. The results showed that with increasing pier height, the damage index was raised and for a constant probability of exceedance, the taller pier is demanded a lower spectral acceleration to achieve a performance level.

Published: June 2020

Throughout this paper, the progressive collapse of steel structure with dual system is studied by considering the removing column scenario. Due to this objective, two lateral load resisting systems are modeled in ABAQUS software with omitting various columns, and the performance of systems against progressive collapse are compared with each other. The results of performed finite element simulations represent that whenever a structure is experiencing an unusual external load such as collision of a vehicle, the most critical columns are those placed at the nearest external frame of the structure. Thus, these members should be considered as highly important members because they could play a significant role in progressive collapse potential reduction as key members.

Authors: Ghazvini Kiavash , Zandieh Mahdi , Vafamehr Mohsen
Published: June 2020

The paper presents the influence of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) on decision making during the architectural design process. In the beginning, the researcher selected a functional complex of industrial nature for the test and defined five criteria for evaluating the architectural design and then created two categories of result and process indicators to explore the decision making during the design process through Verbal Protocol Analysis (VPA). Two groups of subjects attended the VPA, while one group received the indicators; the other one did not receive the indicators. The protocols were transcribed and encoded to make the comparison more efficient. At the same time, the jury evaluated the sketches separately to check the previous results. The study indicates that the indicators were affecting the decision making and design process and design product simultaneously. First of all, framing decisions were made more organized and mature and at the same time increased in numbers, the key decisions were evaluated easier and in some cases divided into smaller decisions related to one or more criteria and then merged into a final concept, the enabler decision making was done more efficiently and faster because of better thought key decisions and the use of indicators for control. The design process, although still has iterative nature. However, iteration was done in smaller cycles due to the use of result indicators for evaluation and process indicators to lead the process. Indicators facilitate idea generation, and the whole process is without difficulties. The design quality assessment by the jury shows the improvement in the final quality of design outcome in specific aspects related to indicators.

Does an Introduction of a Paid Parental Leave Policy Affect Maternal Labor Market Outcomes in the Short Run? Evidence from Australia’s Paid Parental Leave Scheme
Authors: Bass Brittany
Published: June 2020

This paper studies how an introduction of paid parental leave (PPL) affects maternal labor market outcomes in the short run. Using a reform in Australia, the PPL scheme, that gave the primary caregiver of a child born or adopted on or after January 1 2011, $672.70 a week for a maximum of 18 weeks, this paper develops theoretical predictions of the effect of PPL on maternal labor market outcomes, and tests these predictions using confidential data from the Australian Pregnancy and Employment Transitions Survey. The theoretical results imply that after the introduction of PPL, hours of work in the pre-birth period should decrease for mothers who will qualify for PPL, and increase for mothers who are attempting to qualify for PPL. Post birth, the theoretical results imply that more mothers are out of work and on leave than would have been in the absence of PPL. The empirical results suggest that the PPL scheme had no significant effect on labor market outcomes pre birth or post birth.

Lungs are used as an attractive possibility for administration of different therapeutic substances for a long time. An innovative method of such administration widely studied nowadays is the application of aerosolized magnetic particles as the carriers to the lungs in the external non-homogeneous magnetic field. For these reasons we have studied dynamics of such a system on a level of particle trajectory in air in the presence of magnetic force as a driving force exerted on micrometric magnetic particle. On two typical examples of magnetically driven systems—motion of magnetic particle in a gradient magnetic field and cyclotron-like motion of a charged particle in homogeneous magnetic field in microscale, where the external accelerating forces are very large and the relevant time scale is of the order from fraction of milliseconds to seconds, we have examined the importance of these forces. As has been shown, for particles with high initial acceleration, not only the commonly used Stokes force but also the Basset history force should be used for correct description of the motion.

The paper presents a matrix approach to the propagation of uncertainties in the realization of the ITS-90 using Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRT) calibrated at Defining Fixed Points (DFPs). The procedure allows correlations to be included between SPRT resistances measured during the calibration at the DFPs (i.e., the realization of the ITS-90) and the resistances measured during the subsequent use of the SPRT to measure temperature T
90. The example also shows the possible contribution of these correlations to the overall temperature uncertainty measured by a calibrated SPRT.
Why some Fail and others Succeed: Explaining the Academic Performance of PA Undergraduate Students
Authors: Pavelea Alina Maria , Moldovan Octavian
Published: June 2020

The current research explores the influence of multiple factors (such as class attendance, previous academic performance, in-class involvement and attention, class schedule, gender and other control variables) on the academic performance of public-administration undergraduate students. The regression models developed based on the academic literature were tested on a sample of 1st-year students (N = 115) enrolled in the Public Administration bachelor program of Babeș-Bolyai University (Cluj-Napoca) in order to explain their performance (grade) in a final examination. Since none of the variables included in the model are self-reported (i.e. classic self-administered questionnaires) we have reduced the potential that social desirability bias could influence our results, thus strengthening the reliability and robustness of our findings.

Our results show that the main factors which can influence students’ academic performance are attendance at seminars and in-class involvement. All other factors which were included in the regression model (age, gender, distance between class site and their home, residence in urban or rural environment, attention and motivation, class schedule and four proxies / measures for previous performance) were either not statistically significant in any of the models or showed an inconsistent / unstable influence on academic performance.

These results can be of interest not only for Public Administration scholars, but also for university decision makers. As such, starting from the aforementioned findings and the literature, we also propose and discuss specific measures, which can be adopted by faculty-level decision makers in order to help students improve their academic performance and ensure better educational outcomes, especially in regard to the admission criteria currently in place.

Points for practitioners

The research investigates, among other potential factors, whether class attendance influences performance regardless of other individual characteristics. In doing so, the research tries to provide an answer to the ongoing debate on the usefulness of compulsory attendance at lectures and seminars in higher education. Furthermore, by observing the influence of previous performance (during high school) on current academic performance, the research can identify more adequate admission criteria, which can be used by university decision makers to ensure a better selection of candidates, thus potentially decreasing dropout rates.
Análise da preparação acadêmica, expectativa profissional e do conhecimento dos acadêmicos do curso de Biomedicina na área de Imagenologia
Authors: Raimundo Douglas Donizetti , Cunha Diequison Rite
Published: June 2020

Introdução: O aparelho de Raio X foi desenvolvido a partir de um trabalho do físico alemão Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen. A instalação do primeiro aparelho no Brasil ocorreu na cidade de Formiga, Minas Gerais, em 1897. Desde então, os aparelhos de Raios X passaram por várias atualizações de forma a reduzir a radiação dispersa e melhorar a qualidade das imagens obtidas. No cenário atual da atuação profissional em radiologia, além dos médicos, os biomédicos e técnicos e tecnólogos em radiologia podem atuar, porém, existe um argumento arcaico em relação à atuação de biomédicos no exercício de radiodiagnóstico, onde técnicos e tecnólogos disputam para retirar esta habilitação do biomédico. Objetivo: Analisar a visão dos acadêmicos de Biomedicina da Região Centro-Oeste de Minas Gerais em relação à Imagenologia. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo realizado com 50 acadêmicos devidamente matriculados (8º período) do curso de Biomedicina de duas IES da Região Centro-Oeste de Minas Gerais, onde os mesmos foram submetidos a um questionário composto por 15 questões que visam avaliar a expectativa, o conhecimento e o interesse dos acadêmicos de Biomedicina em relação à Imagenologia. Resultados: Dos 50 questionados, houve predominância do sexo feminino e uma média de idade de 22,7 anos. No domínio de conhecimento específico, podemos observar que os acadêmicos apresentaram ter um bom desenvolvimento relacionado à Imagenologia, onde as duas IES obtiveram 64% de aproveitamento. Conclusão: Acredita-se que o estudo contribuirá para o melhoramento da estruturação curricular, gerando uma atuação maior da Biomedicina na área de Imagenologia.

Published: June 2020

A proposta da Educação Integral no contexto educacional brasileiro não é de hoje, e está sendo implantada gradativamente, com o intuito de oferecer para a população uma educação de qualidade.  No entanto, a implantação do Ensino Médio em Tempo Integral (EMTI) já estava incluída no Plano Nacional de Educação entre uma das metas a serem alcançadas até 2024. Porém, essa nova modalidade traz muitos questionamentos sobre a sua implantação, principalmente em relação às disciplinas ditas não obrigatórias, bem como sobre a estrutura das escolas que estão recebendo essa nova modalidade. Com base na pesquisa documental e bibliográfica objetivou-se refletir sobre à Educação Integral no Brasil, diante desta conjuntura atual. E assim estaremos explanando um breve resgate histórico da “Educação Integral”, e o novo Ensino Médio, sendo a atual realidade nos estados brasileiros, inclusive em Roraima, diante da proposta atual de implantação do EMTI que teve início em 2017. Entretanto, ainda temos um grande desafio a ser percorrido diante da implantação do EMTI nas escolas públicas em todo o Brasil.
