Authors: Sanches Márcio Martinello , Fernandes Celso Dornelas , Batista Margareth Vieira , Verzignassi Jaqueline Rosemeire , Theodoro Gustavo de Faria , Gutoski Diego Vaz
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus) is widely used as a forage crop in Brazil, but its production faces disease threats. Recently, new symptoms, such as oblong to irregular brown lesions on leaves, have emerged in M. maximus across the country. Particularly severe symptoms were observed in the BRS Tamani cultivar, and some other genotypes showed lesion coalescence and intense leaf necrosis. This study aimed to identify the cause of these symptoms. A fungus was isolated from the lesions and, using morphological measurements and molecular analysis of the ITS, GPDH and TEF-1α genes, it was identified as Bipolaris yamadae. Pathogenicity tests confirmed its ability to cause disease in M. maximus cv. Tamani. A field survey of 205 M maximus genotypes showed severe symptoms in 8.35 % of the materials.
Virtual Reality, Literature and Education: Immersive Narratives for Children and Young Adults
Authors: Moro Roberta Gerling , Kirchof Edgar Roberto
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT In this article, we discuss the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies for the creation and adaptation of stories aimed at children and young adult, focusing on the specificities of their usage protocols. We begin by introducing narratives in VR and their connection to the field of children and young adult literature. Subsequently, 360º videos targeted at children and young people are presented, along with the reading and engagement protocols that arise from their peculiarities. Starting from the field of Cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR), we discuss about the main challenges posed by this medium for the enjoyment of immersive works, based on the analysis of the work Invasion!, produced by the Baobab studio. Thus, we conclude that both the production and reception of narratives in Virtual Reality presuppose the management of the viewer’s vision and attentional focus, considering the reading protocols already learned and naturalized through other media.

Avanços no conhecimento sobre a Brioflora do Pampa brasileiro
Authors: Aires Elisa Teixeira , Bordin Juçara
Published: May 2024

RESUMO As briófitas estão entre as plantas menos estudadas no Pampa, com apenas cinco estudos brioflorísticos e 124 espécies listadas na Flora e Funga do Brasil. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compilar informações existentes sobre as briófitas do Pampa como ponto de partida para estudos florísticos, taxonômicos, ecológicos e de conservação, entre outros, além da elaboração de um futuro checklist. Os dados foram extraídos de bancos de dados online, checklists e publicações recentes. Obteve-se uma lista de 318 espécies, o que corresponde a uma diferença de 256% ao número de espécies citadas para o Pampa na Flora e Funga do Brasil. O padrão de distribuição geográfica mundial predominante foi o Neotropical. Oito espécies ocorrem somente no Pampa brasileiro, porém somente Fissidens acacioides var. brevicostatus (Pursell et al.) Pursell é endêmica deste bioma. Constatou-se que sete espécies estão listadas com algum grau de ameaça. Mais estudos são necessários a fim de se conhecer a real riqueza de espécies e incentivar a conservação do bioma.
Trajetórias da infraestrutura no Brasil. Concepções, operacionalizações e marcos conceituais em perspectiva
Authors: Tavares Jeferson Cristiano
Published: May 2024

Resumo São recorrentes as incompatibilidades derivadas da implantação de infraestruturas sobre dinâmicas territoriais consolidadas. Partindo desse axioma, o objetivo deste artigo é investigar como o planejamento de infraestruturas incorre nessas incompatibilidades. Metodologicamente, o estudo apoia-se nas escolas teóricas que relacionam infraestrutura e cidade; e utiliza análises de novas infraestruturas ou de intervenções em infraestruturas existentes. O texto se desenvolve por breve revisão dos padrões históricos infraestruturais; pelo entendimento das prioridades nas suas concepções; e pelo estudo dos seus ciclos operacionais. Desse quadro, foi possível formular o argumento de que, no Brasil, a infraestrutura é concebida para (re)estruturar setores e, quando implantada, (des)estrutura lugares. Esse argumento motivou a investigação de novos marcos conceituais que permitiram advogar por infraestruturas que sejam concebidas por evidências territoriais.
Participação social e justiça da mobilidade no Brasil
Authors: Barata Aline Fernandes
Published: May 2024

Resumo Na busca por uma mobilidade urbana mais sustentável e justa, os debates acadêmicos têm considerado a participação da sociedade como um componente fundamental no planejamento de transporte e mobilidade. No entanto, pouco se discutiu sobre o papel da participação na justiça da mobilidade no Sul Global, onde a mobilidade nem sempre é justa e inclusiva. Diante desse cenário, este artigo adota um referencial teórico e metodológico inovador para investigar as práticas, as dinâmicas e os significados da participação dentro e fora do planejamento da mobilidade estatal no Brasil. As descobertas do Rio de Janeiro e de Porto Alegre fornecem evidências sobre diferentes espaços de participação e sua importância no combate a injustiças da mobilidade em assentamentos informais.
Social inequalities, territories of vulnerability, and urban mobility
Authors: Reis Eduardo Castellani Gomes dos , Véras Maura Pardini Bicudo
Published: May 2024

Abstract Contemporary transformations linked to technology, the world of work, unemployment, and the effects of the pandemic in Brazil have been altering territorial dynamics. However, such factors only added to the perverse stability of socio-spatial inequalities in Brazilian cities, particularly in São Paulo. By revealing the current social segregation in a city linked to the flows of global capitalism, the difficulties faced by many in the job and housing market bring scenarios of congestion and difficulties in accessing workplaces and the built environment. In addition to revealing the daily struggle of the majority due to inequality in opportunity and commuting, they indicate the important role of urban mobility, which may come to have a leading role as a public policy.
Spatio-temporal segregation: commuting time that unite and separate classes and races
Authors: Silva Ricardo Barbosa da
Published: May 2024

Abstract The intense growth of Brazilian cities is remarkable, characterized by peripheralization and socio-spatial inequalities. However, studies that focus on the temporal dimension to understand spatial segregation are still scarce. This paper aims to understand the role played by commuting time in explaining the process of spatial segregation in the São Paulo metropolis. Its methodology is based on statistical data obtained from the weighting areas of the Demographic Census sample, by means of the variable usual commuting time, combined with other socioeconomic variables of income and race. This research contributes to the understanding of spatio-temporal segregation and shows that commuting time unites the poorest and black individuals, separating them from the richest and white individuals in the São Paulo metropolis.

Con base en el análisis de las dinámicas de movilidad de un grupo de académicos del Campus Morelos de la UNAM, se presentan resultados de investigación toman como base teórica que la movilidad: es diferencial si consideramos grupos de edades, sectores sociales, condición laboral y formas de acceder al territorio con comportamientos urbanos y metropolitanos diversos constituyendo nuevos acercamientos al tema.
Sustainable urban mobility in a small city: the case of Conde-PB
Authors: Santos André Pinto dos , Santos Juliana Silva Almeida , Bonatto Daniella do Amaral Mello
Published: May 2024

Abstract The National Urban Mobility Policy (PNMU) provides that cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants, belonging to metropolitan regions, or focused on tourist activities must create and approve mobility plans. Small cities, however, have specificities that hinder the development of this instrument. In this context, the purpose of the study was to examine mobility initiatives implemented in the municipality of Conde, State of Paraíba (PB), aiming at their replication in cities with similar socioeconomic conditions. A case study was conducted through documentary research in order to understand the context in which the initiatives were created and the results obtained. As a result, this research contributes to discussions related to sustainable mobility in cities by providing references to guide future efforts.

Published: May 2024

Resumo O envelhecimento da população mundial acirra as discussões sobre a inadequação das cidades às suas necessidades. A gratuidade no transporte público não basta para proporcionar maior inclusão da pessoa idosa. Este artigo visa apresentar reflexões acerca da efetividade do transporte público gratuito para a inclusão de pessoas idosas na cidade de São Paulo. Realizaram-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, e um levantamento documental. Como resultado, sugerem-se itens complementares à implementação da gratuidade no transporte público para pessoas idosas, relativos a políticas públicas, infraestrutura, sistemas de transporte, educação e incorporação de tecnologias. Conclui-se que essas sugestões contribuem para a proposição de aspectos a serem endereçados em estudos futuros e no novo Marco Legal do Transporte Público Coletivo, visando a cidades mais inclusivas.
Usos insurgentes nas arquiteturas do trânsito: atuações como plano, truque e finta
Authors: Costa Pedro Vitor , Pereira Maria Rúbia , Capillé Cauê
Published: May 2024

Resumo A condição de trânsito é um fenômeno comum para as populações periféricas da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. Ao conformarem um ‘espaço coletivo compulsório’, as infraestruturas de mobilidade têm um enorme potencial político-social. Certas práticas ‘insurgentes’ de grupos que se utilizam de ‘brechas arquitetônicas’ dessas infraestruturas estimulam esse potencial. Este artigo observa usos culturais, políticos e econômicos acoplados às infraestruturas de trânsito à luz de três formas de projetar – plano, truque e finta –, com o objetivo de discutir como a arquitetura e o planejamento urbano podem se aliar à construção de realidades menos desiguais. São analisados usos comerciais no entorno da estação de metrô Pavuna, usos político-culturais do Cine Taquara (BRT), Viaduto de Realengo e Viaduto Negrão de Lima (Madureira).
Por onde as mulheres escolhem caminhar? Segurança feminina em espaços públicos
Authors: Lino Laís Regina , Kanashiro Milena
Published: May 2024

Resumo As mulheres tendem a regular suas atividades e limitar o uso dos espaços públicos a certas horas do dia, pela alta percepção de insegurança que atua como parte integrante da sua vida cotidiana. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar os fatores objetivos e subjetivos para caminhar sob a perspectiva da segurança feminina, através de um Estudo de Caso realizado em Londrina – PR. As táticas abordadas foram questionários e entrevistas caminhadas para compreender os fatores socioespaciais que influenciam na escolha e os que inibem o caminhar. Os resultados indicam que a construção do “medo” ocorre por meio de relatos de terceiros e da mídia, enquanto o principal fator de “sentir-se” segura está relacionado ao movimento de pessoas pelo fato de serem vistas.
Ciência cidadã e a (re)descoberta da caminhabilidade sob a ótica infantojuvenil
Authors: Freitas Ana Paula de Oliveira , Cardoso Leandro , D’Ávila Rogério Faria
Published: May 2024

Resumo O incentivo à caminhada e o emprego de uma ciência cidadã influenciam diretamente na promoção de aspectos positivos à sociedade, principalmente às crianças e aos adolescentes. Este artigo apresenta um estudo desenvolvido junto a estudantes de uma escola pública, com idades entre 10 e 12 anos, o qual aprimora uma ferramenta de avaliação da caminhabilidade sob a ótica do público infantojuvenil, integrando a percepção dos pedestres como fator determinante do cálculo da análise do grau de importância dos indicadores, através do uso de uma metodologia participativa. Os resultados mostraram que a caminhabilidade ainda é precária na região estudada e que a inclusão do público no processo de pesquisa trouxe benefícios que transcendem os pesos quantitativos atribuídos às notas do índice.
Favela: o desafio de morar na metrópole paulistana
Authors: Pasternak Suzana , Bógus Lucia Maria Machado
Published: May 2024

Resumo Este artigo descreve a evolução recente do tecido urbano na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo e da desigualdade expressa pelas favelas, por meio de dados do Intituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística e do MapBiomas. Embora o crescimento populacional em todas as sub-regiões tenha decrescido em relação aos períodos anteriores, a chamada periferia ainda cresce mais do que o polo. A estrutura urbana mostra-se altamente segregada, com parte da população pobre morando em favelas. A metrópole, em 2019, apresentava 1.703 favelas, com população de mais de 2 milhões de habitantes, ocupando 12,26% dos domicílios metropolitanos. Como a população nesse tipo de assentamento cresceu quase a 3,44% anuais, a resultante é um adensamento das favelas, com problemas para sua urbanização.
Crônicas do (re)descobrimento: a ressignificação do urbano com base em lacunas epistêmicas em Crônicas de São Paulo, de Daniel Munduruku
Authors: Trindade Gislene
Published: May 2024

Resumo Este artigo é um recorte aprofundado dos resultados apresentados na tese de mestrado intitulada (Re)de scobrindo São Paulo: memória e narrativa indígena na ressignificação do espaço urbano (2021). Volta-se, portanto, para a análise da obra Crônicas de São Paulo: Um Olhar Indígena, de Daniel Munduruku (2019), com foco na articulação do autor em torno da episteme negada que os nomes indígenas presentes na cidade evocam. O objetivo é destacar como Munduruku, ao refletir sobre os topônimos indígenas que nomeiam diferentes regiões da metrópole, propõe uma perspectiva que transcende as normas de temporalidade e espacialidade, trazendo para o primeiro plano a camada ancestral invisibilizada de São Paulo. Neste processo o autor negocia símbolos e simbologias com base nos vácuos simbólicos da cidade, inspirando uma leitura decolonial da metrópole.
Loving God, loving nature? Intrinsic values, stewardship, and reverence for nature
Authors: Valera Luca
Published: May 2024

Abstract Most approaches in environmental ethics that contemplate the normativity of intrinsic values rely on the idea of love or reverence for nature. This paper challenges the need to love nature in order to respect it as a value in itself (i.e., as an intrinsic value). In this regard, the main questions to answer are: is there a need to regard nature as sacred in order to respect it (i.e., to ascribe intrinsic value to it)? What kind of coincidence is there between God and the natural world? The response to these questions calls for a deep inquiry into the cosmological or metaphysical ideas (or conceptions of divinity) underlying them. This paper analyses, thus, three theological, cosmological, or metaphysical ideas (i.e., pantheism, theism, and teleological conception of nature) concerning intrinsic values: some of these (e.g., pantheism) contemplate the idea of the sacredness of nature, which has a clear religious inspiration. These cosmological paradigms also imply different human behaviors towards life: 1. Pantheism implies reverence for Life since nature is sacred (God mainly coincides with nature). Thus, the human being is part of the extended more-than-human community. 2. Theism reaffirms that every form of life is good since it has been created by God. This implies that human beings are the steward of creation. 3. The finalistic idea of nature sustains that life is an end in itself (i.e., has intrinsic value) and that our responsibility emerges from both the value of life and our impact on the environment.

Published: May 2024

Há um imperativo de se pensar uma formação graduada em Terapia Ocupacional atenta às necessidades juvenis. Nesse sentido, hipotetizamos que as Escrevivências de Conceição Evaristo poderiam mediar a aprendizagem crítica sobre as juventudes. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem estético, ético e político de estudantes de Terapia Ocupacional por meio de um projeto de ensino pautado nas Escrevivências. Trata-se de uma pesquisa educacional que se utilizou de informações pedagógicas de uma disciplina ministrada remotamente. Estudantes estabeleceram contato com jovens diversos para pensar aspectos coletivos dentro de narrativas singulares de vida. Os achados provêm da análise do diário de campo da monitora, da transcrição das monitorias virtuais, do trabalho final e de um grupo focal. Identificamos processos cognitivos relevantes ligados à alteridade. Quanto à aprendizagem estética, crítico-social e ético-política, debatemos as limitações.

O estudo buscou compreender a influência da estratégia do Pay for Performance (P4P), por meio do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB), na atuação do(a)s trabalhadore(a)s. Trata-se de um estudo de caso qualitativo realizado com o(a)s trabalhadore(a)s das Estratégias de Saúde da Família. A análise foi realizada mediante a técnica de construção de narrativas. Constatou-se que o P4P contribuiu para qualificação do processo de trabalho, ao mesmo tempo que estimulou competição e conflito entre as equipes, aflorando sentimentos de culpa e injustiça e, devido à precarização do trabalho, o estímulo financeiro se descaracteriza, tornando-se complemento salarial. Problemas macroestruturais afetam as condições de trabalho e a motivação do(a)s trabalhadore(a)s, de modo que modelos de incentivo financeiro, isoladamente, não são suficientes para reverter tal cenário.

Published: May 2024

Resumo Este artigo analisa a oferta de vagas no curso noturno de Odontologia de uma universidade federal enquanto democratização da Educação Superior com justiça social. Relata pesquisa empírica com ingressantes e concluintes do diurno e noturno, realizada por meio de aplicação de questionário e consulta a microdados do Censo da Educação Superior. A análise envolveu distribuição de frequências e teste estatístico. O curso de Odontologia noturno recebe mais estudantes acima de 25 anos, primeiros da família a cursar graduação, com intervalo de três anos ou mais entre o fim do Ensino Médio e o ingresso no curso, trabalhadores e com renda familiar menor que os ingressantes do diurno. O curso noturno tem menor número de concluintes pretos e pardos e de egressos das escolas públicas do que os ingressados, o que denota a fragilidade destes grupos na permanência e conclusão da Educação Superior. A oferta de vagas noturnas de Odontologia em universidade federal contribui para a justiça social na Educação Superior, ainda que seja necessário avançar na redução das desigualdades sociais e educacionais.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Environmental changes directly influence quality of life, and environmental protection laws arise to ensure the maintenance of ecological balance. Aquatic environments have been contaminated by substances of anthropic origin, which are called effluents. Improper disposal of effluents has adverse effects on the environment and human health. In Brazilian legislation, the resolutions of the National Council for the Environment (CONAMA) RE 357/2005 and RE 430/2011 address the use of indicator species to evaluate the effluents’ toxicity. Despite these, much still needs to be done to control and monitor the emission of effluents in Brazilian water resources. The objective of this work was to carry out a historical survey of the regulations on the disposal of effluents in Brazil and to show the differences in each state's regulations, highlighting the indicator species accepted in each regulation and their advantages and disadvantages. In this way, this review summarizes and organizes the information of the Brazilian legislation on the disposal of effluents and helps the researcher in the area to choose between the methodologies adopted for the analysis of their environmental samples. Despite the insertion of bioassays, it is evident that the current Brazilian legislation is permissive, requiring adaptations and definitions to increase adherence to the ecotoxicological monitoring of water resources by the States.
Trends in the Development of Small Business in Russia and the Baikal Region in 2017–2023
Authors: Kolesnik Yuliya
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the article is to consider modern, mainly quantitative, trends in the development of small business in two subjects of the Baikal region — the Republic of Buryatia and the Irkutsk region. At the same time, the current trends are compared with the all-Russian trends and key indicators that traditionally characterize the state of small business in developed countries, and with the target indicators of the Strategy for the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. As a result of the analysis of a number of absolute and relative indicators, conclusions are drawn about a rather specific modern picture of small business development in the regions under consideration against the background of such all-Russian trends as an increase in the number of small and microenterprises with a reduction in the number of employees employed in them, a decrease in the proportion of the number of employees of small enterprises in the total number of employed and an almost unchanged value of the contribution indicator small business in Russia's GDP. It can be seen that while maintaining such dynamics, it is impossible to achieve the target targets of the Strategy. At the same time, since its development, a significant number of negative external factors have appeared that affect the development of business, including small ones, which have caused the emergence of problems of a new nature. Consequently, we should not talk about the inefficiency of the measures taken by the state and other support for small businesses, but rather about the insufficiency of these measures and their untimely actualization within the framework of the impact of newly emerging negative environmental factors.

Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the study of coping strategies of pharmaceutical employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The basis of the study is Farmgarant LLC, located in Angarsk, the respondents are a team of 30 people, aged 20 to 60 years, with higher and secondary pharmaceutical education, holding the position of pharmacist and pharmacist. In the sample structure, more than half of the respondents (60 %) are pharmacists. The study was conducted during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic from February to April 2021. 43.3 % of the total number of respondents experience an average level of stress. This means that most of the organization's employees cope with the stressful loads that come during the labor process, have a fairly strong ability to use coping strategies in the process of dealing with the coming difficulties of life. A third of respondents (33.33 %) have a low level of stress, which means that they fully cope with difficult life and professional situations, as well as fully adapted to incoming psychological and emotional stress during the working day. The remaining respondents (23.33 %) have a high level of stress and experience constant and severe psychological discomfort. The stress level directly correlates with such coping strategies as seeking social support (0.863 at p = 0.01), avoidance (0.751 at p = 0.01), confrontation (0.615 at p = 0.05), distancing (0.507 at p = 0.05), self-control (0.649 at p = 0.01), taking responsibility (0.605 at p = 0.01) and solution planning (0.524 at p = 0.05). An inverse correlation is observed between the stress level and coping strategies problem resolution (–0.568 at p = 0.05) and positive reassessment (–0.506 at p = 0.05).

Published: May 2024

This study analyzed the impact of leachate from a temporary landfill on soil microbial diversity in Tingo María, Huánuco region, Peru. Three treatments were used: untreated soil (S), addition of stream water (T0), leachate (T1), and leachate treated by coagulation and flocculation (T2), with 828.5 ml/week added in three weekly doses. Soil samples were collected from the Reserved Forest of the Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva. Twenty-one randomly distributed soil samples were taken and homogenized for analysis. Soil quality parameters measured included sand, clay, silt, texture, pH, organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. As for microorganisms, viable aerobes, lactobacilli, actinomycetes, fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and Escherichia coli were quantified using specific culture and counting methods for each of them. To evaluate the impact of the leachate on microbial diversity, equity indices (Shannon and inverse Simpson), dominance indices (complementary Simpson and Berger Parker) and the percentage composition of each microorganism per treatment were used. An ANOVA was performed to estimate differences in microbial diversity, with a Tukey test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The study showed that leachates affect soil microbial diversity, reducing equity and increasing the dominance of certain species such as E. coli. They also alter physicochemical parameters, decreasing organic matter and nitrogen but increasing other elements such as phosphorus and potassium. This could have implications for soil health and functionality.

Authors: Yıldız Seçil , Erkan Nefise Semra
Published: May 2024

The aim of this study is to develop an in-class gender role perception scale for preschool teachers. The study group of the research consists of 493 pre-school teachers working in independent kindergartens, kindergartens within primary schools and kindergartens within secondary schools in Nevşehir, Kırşehir, Niğde and Aksaray provinces of Turkey. The content validity of the scale was ensured by expert opinions. Construct validity was ensured by both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. KMO and Bartlett tests were used to determine the suitability of the created items for factor analysis, and these tests were found to be significant at the p <.05 level. With the factor analysis performed to reveal the factor structure of the scale items, a structure consisting of 4 sub-dimensions and 42 items was determined: "general gender discourses in fairy tales and stories, gender role characteristics, gender-specific behavioral reactions and gender". In the reliability analysis of the scale items, Spearman-Brown and Guttman Split-Half reliability coefficients were calculated and these coefficients were found to be suitable for all sub-dimensions. Cronbach's Alpha (α) values were calculated and the resulting coefficient value was found suitable for reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed and the fit indices confirmed the structure created by the factor analysis.

With today’s developing technology, students’ ways of living, learning, and working have been changing rapidly, leading them to acquire new approaches related to technology. The main objective of this study is to identify the views of secondary school students regarding technology. The participants of the study, which was designed as a qualitative study, consisted of 5th grade students studying at a state secondary school in the district of Yalova, Turkey in the fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The data of the study, which consisted of students’ pictures and written expressions, were analyzed with the content analysis technique. As far as the emerging results are concerned, while the students emphasized the more useful and entertaining aspects of technology as its positive features, they expressed their opinions on the lack of social communication, energy insufficiency and environmental damage as technology’s negative features. In the students’ perceptions, it can be seen that technology makes their lives easier, but that the harms to personal health, social communication and the environment are taken into account. Since the study was carried out with 5th grade students, perception of technology at different age and grade levels is a matter of interest for future research. In this sense, it is possible to recommend identifying the direction of the trends with studies to be conducted with different age levels.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of literacy preparation activities conducted during the pre-school period on primary school literacy instruction from the perspective of classroom teachers. The design of the study was determined as a case study, which is one of the qualitative research types. The research group was determined through purposive sampling. In order to ensure maximum diversity, interviews were conducted with a total of 14 teachers, consisting of one male and one female from each of Türkiye seven regions. Considering the aim of the study, it was taken into account that teachers should have experience in literacy instruction. Therefore, teachers who had conducted teaching activities in first grade elementary school classrooms for at least three times were included in the study. A semi-structured interview form was used as the data collection tool in the research. The interviews were analyzed using a data analysis software. As a result of the analyses, 4 themes, 13 categories, and 58 codes were identified. According to the findings of the study, the teachers believe that literacy preparation activities conducted during the pre-school period have a positive impact on primary school. It is also among the general opinions of those teachers that literacy preparation activities are more effective and functional in pre-school compared to previous years. The classroom teachers expressed that pre-school teachers should not deviate from the curriculum, and teaching literacy in pre-school may lead to some difficulties in primary school. Finally, the classroom teachers believe that beyond academic skills, imparting social adjustment and self-regulation skills to children during pre-school is more crucial for readiness in primary school.

Connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is an important underlying cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CTD. Serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) is an immune factor which has been related to the severity of ILD. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between serum KL-6 and mortality of patients with CTD-ILD. Longitudinal studies relevant to the aim of the meta-analysis were retrieved by search of electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase. A random-effects model was used to combine the data by incorporating the influence of between-study heterogeneity. Fifteen cohorts involving 1737 patients with CTD-ILD were included. During a mean follow-up of 35.3 months, 430 (24.8%) patients died. Compared to those with a lower KL-6 at admission, patients with a higher KL-6 were associated with a higher mortality risk during follow-up (risk ratio: 2.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.66 to 2.87, P < 0.001; I2 = 20%). Subgroup analysis showed a significant association in studies from Asian countries, but not in those from non-Asian countries; in studies with cutoff of KL-6 derived in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, but not in those derived from other methods; in studies with multivariate analysis, but not in those with univariate analysis (P for subgroup difference all < 0.05). The association was not significantly affected by different CTDs or methods for measuring serum KL-6. In conclusion, a high serum KL-6 may be a risk factor of increased mortality in patients with CTD-ILD.
Virtual community medicine in sparsely populated regions: A case study from Northern Sweden
Authors: Andreas Koch
Published: May 2024

The short case study outlines the potential that Virtual Health Rooms (VHRs) can exhibit to mitigate a lack of public health services and community medicine infrastructure in sparsely populated and demographically ageing regions. Although the VHR idea has its strengths in surmounting a relatively low medical service environment, it is, nonetheless, a technologically driven approach to meet the needs of local residents in rural peripheries. Therefore, the VHR approach has been tested in some Northern Swedish villages and has been evaluated empirically in one of these villages (Storuman). Beyond a dedicated health-driven purpose, Virtual Health Rooms can comprehensively serve as a public meeting point to reduce local social isolation. In this respect, the regional Storuman Hospital functions as a Center for Rural Medicine in a broad sense and aims, among other things, to decentralize public health services to local communities in the rural periphery.

Fine Shear-Wave Velocity Structures of Subsurface beneath the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area with Dense Seismic Array and SPAC Method

Published: May 2024

We apply the spatial autocorrelation (SPAC) method to construct the 3D subsurface shear-wave velocity structure model using the short-period dense seismic array (containing 725 nodal geophones) located at the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay area (GBA). We first divided the dense array into numerous subarrays, with each subarray consisting of nine nodal geophones, and obtained 562 subarrays that can provide 1D VS profiles of the same quantity. Then, the SPAC method and genetic algorithm are utilized to extract the dispersion curve of the Rayleigh wave from the raw microtremor data and invert VS structure, respectively. Finally, a 3D VS structure model from the surface to 3.3 km depth is derived by combining all 1D VS structures. Relatively low-velocity anomalies above 700 m are considered unconsolidated shallow sediments as well as relatively high-velocity anomalies beneath 1100 m are attributed to consolidated granite bedrock. Meanwhile, low-velocity anomalies that are identified through the vertical VS profile at a depth of about 900–3000 m can be contributed to the fractured zone, and striped low-velocity anomalies in the horizontal VS maps reveal the location of the deeply buried faults in the study area. The results also mean that the SPAC method combined with the records of short-period dense seismic array can be effectively applied to image subsurface structures in high-populated urban area. The development of this noise-resistance and environment-friendly geophysical technique provides a reliable and effective way to explore the complicated subsurface geological structures, which is of great significance to urban engineering construction and earthquake disaster reduction work in densely populated urban agglomerations.
Direct Dynamic Triggering Scenarios of the Southern San Andreas Fault by Moderate-Magnitude Cross-Fault Earthquakes in the Brawley Seismic Zone, California
Authors: Kyriakopoulos Christodoulos , Oglesby David D.
Published: May 2024

Intersections between small faults and larger faults are ubiquitous throughout the world, including the strike-slip San Andreas system in southern California. In particular, orthogonal intersections may exist in the Brawley seismic zone (BSZ) in the Salton Sea region between small left-lateral strike-slip faults and the main southern San Andreas fault (SSAF). This area often experiences earthquake swarms, which poses the question of whether moderate earthquakes on these left-lateral cross faults (CFs) may propagate to the nearby SSAF, triggering a large, damaging event. To address this question, we present a collection of dynamic rupture scenarios describing the interaction of a representative CF intersecting the highly prestressed SSAF in the BSZ. Our models span a variety of CF earthquake rupture scenarios that vary in magnitude (Mw∼5.2–6.1), rupture depth, location, and directivity to test their potential to trigger the SSAF. We use our models to investigate how the above parameters play an interconnected role in developing ruptures that might trigger the SSAF. Our results highlight that adjacency to the SSAF and shallow rupture enhance the ability of moderate-size CF earthquakes to propagate onto the SSAF. We also show that earthquakes starting at the opposite edge of the CF from the intersection are less likely to trigger the SSAF unless they propagate over at least half of the CF length. Our experiments provide for the first time a benchmark of comparison and insights into rupture parameters that might control the initiation of a significant SSAF event from a smaller CF earthquake. They may also give insight into the general interactions of small faults with larger intersecting faults, such as in the case of the recent 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, earthquake.
DMLoc: Automatic Microseismic Locating Workflow Based on Deep Learning and Waveform Migration

Published: May 2024

During hydraulic fracturing, real-time acquisition of the spatiotemporal distribution of microseismic in the reservoir is essential in evaluating the risk of induced seismicity and optimizing injection parameters. By integrating deep learning with migration-based location methods, we develop an automatic microseismic locating workflow (named DMLoc). DMLoc applies deep learning to automate phase picking and leverage the phase arrival probability function generated by a convolutional network as the input for waveform migration. The proposed workflow is first applied to the continuous data of the Dawson-Septimus area. Compared with a reference catalog generated by the SeisComP3 software, our method automatically locates 57 additional seismic events (accounting for 43% of the events in the obtained catalog). We further evaluate the performance of DMLoc by applying it to a 35-day continuous microseismic dataset from the Tony Creek Dual Microseismic Experiment. The spatiotemporal distribution of our detected events is consistent with results reported in prior catalogs, demonstrating the effectiveness of our method. In contrast to using raw microseismic records for stacking, DMLoc addresses the issue of inaccurate locating caused by low signal-to-noise ratios and polarity changes. The use of GPUs has substantially accelerated the calculations and enabled DMLoc to output locating results in minutes. This fast and efficient metric could be easily extended to any microseismic monitoring scenario that requires (near) real-time locations and assists in site-based risk mitigation and industrial operation optimization.
