Beyond Deficit Paradigms: Exploring Informal Learning of Immigrant Parents
Authors: Guo Yan
Published: July 2024

This study explores how immigrant parents construct and mobilize their knowledge through informal learning to support their children’s education. The study reveals that many participating immigrant parents learned the meaning of parental involvement primarily through trial and error. They learned Canadian curricula by using the Internet, passed on their first-language knowledge, instilled the best values of both Canadian and country-of-origin cultures, and learned how to advocate on behalf of their children, who were often marginalized at school. The results of this study illustrate the significance of informal learning about parental involvement by immigrant parents and the need for teachers and school administrators to recognize and make use of parent knowledge.
Death Education: the case of a group of adolescents
Authors: Romandini Davide , Mineo Roberta
Published: July 2024

This article attempts to explore and clarify the theme of death from an educational perspective, through a group intervention and a study conducted on 100 high school students. Death education is conducted through one experiential group, where youth can discuss mourning, loss, separation, death, and life in their own experiences. Participants of this study struggled with ambivalent emotions when facing the polarity of death and life: for instance, they mentioned both hate and love when freely associating with the word ‘life’. Adults often share the erroneous idea that death is not part of the adolescent experience. On the contrary, 89% of the boys and girls stated they experienced a mournful event, even in spheres such as friendship and family. Specifically, 24% of them have had to deal with the death of a friend. This article suggests the necessity of working with small psychodynamic groups when addressing silence and denial which surround the ideas of separation, end, loss, and death working with teen groups.

Published: July 2024

Diabetes Melitus (DM) has become a major global public health problem and is growing every year. DM is divided into two types. Type II is the most common and will be explored in this article in an exploratory literature review regarding its non-drug treatment. Articles were explored in databases such as PubMed, Scielo and Scopus and reviewed using texts with scientific relevance. We researched the different origins of this chronic disease, considered multifactorial, and described its non-drug treatments, grouping them into: Treatments with physical activities, dietary measures and other alternatives. We conclude that your treatment is personalized and should not include just one therapy. One of the best strategies for treating DM II is self-management. Patients who control their eating habits and physical activity experience a great improvement in their quality of life, as individuals who are well informed about their diet tend to make choices that are more appropriate to their health. Our article concludes that the non-pharmacological treatment of DM II must have an eclectic and multidisciplinary approach.

Authors: Zanoni Mariana Rosso Franco , Boigues Daniela Bôscoli da Silva Noma , Camargo Matheus de Souza , Calixto Guilherme Guardachoni de Padua , Lima João Pedro Jacometo
Published: July 2024

Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition that alters the production of DNA compatibility genes, which are responsible for monitoring the process of new cell formation in the body. Once compromised, this watchdog system fails and allows abnormal cells to develop, which sometimes initiates a process of malignization, resulting in the appearance of malignant tumours, especially in the colon and endometrial tissue. This text reports the clinical case of a young patient who was diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma and, after extensive outpatient and anatomopathological research, associated with a positive family history, was diagnosed with Lynch syndrome.

The aim of this study was to identify the level of knowledge and practice of social skills, assertiveness, teamwork and self-control/emotional expressiveness in children taking part in the "Full-Time Project" at the Valdir Gonçalves de Lima CEM, in the municipality of Votuporanga-SP. The work is characterized as exploratory of a quantitative and qualitative nature, through pre-post tests and field diaries on the play activities proposed in order to identify the children's knowledge of the chosen skills. The study showed that those surveyed already had an understanding of the social skills in question, since they already had a certain degree of knowledge in the pre-test, with no significant evolution in the post-test, but even though they had knowledge of the subject, they were unable to apply it in their daily school and family life. In this way, the objectives were achieved by creating a bond, showing practical ways of using social skills and making the participants learn about the proposed topic in a fun and entertaining way.
Geotechnical field investigations to measure soil resistance on the Boa Vista/RR Western Bypass Highway and solution to embankments on soft soils
Authors: Farias Rideci , Lopes Beatriz , Paranhos Haroldo
Published: July 2024

Among other challenges, embankments on soft soils have inspired geotechnical engineers, designers and executors to seek challenging solutions. Professor Márcio Almeida, one of the greatest experts on the subject, mentions that these challenges have already resulted in successes and memorable failures in works on soft soils. In general, soft soils are considered to be materials with high plasticity, in some cases rich in organic matter, with Nspt ≤ 4. Thus, brief considerations about soft soils are presented, as well as results with analysis and discussion of geotechnical studies carried out on the Boa Vista Western Bypass Highway (BR 174), in the state of Roraima, with the aim of determining the resistance of soils by means of in situ Vane Tests, in accordance with ABNT NBR 10905: 1989 (MB-3122). The studies consisted of carrying out “Geotechnical Field Investigations” on 11 sections of the highway. Considering the results, it was found that the layers of soft soil in the sections studied have “average” thicknesses that vary from section to section, with minimums close to 2.0 meters and maximums that exceed 6.0 meters. In addition, the existing embankments of the old road, located on the sections studied, indicate the presence of soils with low bearing capacity under the body of the embankments. In addition to the studies, solutions are proposed for the embankments on soils with low bearing capacity.

Role of Freshwater Mussels Lamellidens marginalis (Lamarck, 1819) in Pond Water Quality Maintenance
Authors: Dhuri Rutuja Ramchandra , Gore Balkrishna.M.
Published: July 2024

Freshwater mussels are recognized as ecosystem engineers because they perform water filtration through filter feeding. This study aimed to quantify the changes that occurred in pond water after filtration by freshwater mussels Lamellidens marginalis. Specimens of L. marginalis were gathered from a small pond near Palghar in January. Mussels are hand-picked and stored in buckets of water. Twenty-five individuals of this species were used to assess the changes in various water parameters, including Biological oxygen demand (BOD), turbidity, hardness, and pH. Before the estimation, the mussels were acclimatized to laboratory conditions for approximately 7 days to ensure they adapted to the pond water parameters before filtration evaluation. The water parameters were examined before filtration while acclimatization was occurring. After the acclimatization period, the mussels were housed in a fish tank with about 4 liters of pond water for 2 days. The water parameters were then examined again, which revealed a difference. The BOD was nearly half of its initial value, dropping from 2.4mg/l to 1.2mg/l, and the turbidity fell by 8 NTU. However, the hardness of the water was 16mg/l lower than the starting value, and the pH was dropped from 7.46 to 7.16. This suggests that mussels play a significant part in freshwater filtration to preserve good water quality.

Published: July 2024

A diabetes mellitus e a hipertensão arterial são doenças crônicas de alta prevalência no Brasil, onde geralmente está relacionada com fatores de riscos como doença coronariana, doença renal, infarto agudo do miocárdio, sedentarismo e sobrepeso que levam a internação, agravamento da doença de base e óbito. Visto isso foi criado o programa HIPERDIA que realiza o cadastro pacientes que apresentem essas doenças de bases com ou sem fatores de risco, para rastreio dos mesmos, realizando um melhor controle da evolução da doença e intervindos antes de seu agravamento. Este estudo procurou, por meio da análise de dados do TABNET do DATASUS, caracterizar os fatores de risco ligados à hipertensão e diabetes mellitus em pacientes do estado do Paraná na atenção ambulatorial de janeiro a abril de 2013. Foi verificado que a hipertensão arterial sistêmica é mais prevalente entre esses pacientes, e que os fatores de risco que se sobressaíram foi o sedentarismo e o sobrepeso, e também foi possível provar a dependência desses fatores com as doenças de base, quando analisadas juntas. Logo é possível entender a importância do programa que cadastra e rastreia esses pacientes, mas se vê a necessidade da atualização constante, para que o perfil de análise seja fidedigno, tal como as intervenções adotadas.

La otra búsqueda en la pintura de María Luisa Pacheco: la síntesis creadora
Authors: Luna Ortuño Jorge
Published: July 2024

A partir de la noticia de dos recientes exposiciones dedicadas a la pintura de la artista boliviana María Luisa Pacheco, este ensayo propone renovar la apreciación de su obra, a partir de una crítica a la interpretación tradicional que somete el arte abstracto de Pacheco al simbolismo andino, y encasilla su obra dentro de las románticas representaciones del paisaje  altiplánico. Se propone una lectura más ligada a los fundamentos del expresionismo abstracto, donde se entiende que una superficie azul no busca representar el cielo o el mar, sino que expresa un gesto independiente de la realidad, creación de una experiencia visual propia de la pintura. Tomamos como eje una conferencia sobre el arte dictada por María Luisa Pacheco en 1976, en la ciudad de La Paz, explorando en la filosofía espontánea de la artista (cercanía con el idealismo alemán, dialéctica hegeliana y la visión indígena del tiempo en los Andes bolivianos). A Pacheco le interesaba más el proceso artístico que el producto, por lo que preservó su sentido de autenticidad y reivindicó una práctica que diluyera la aparente dicotomía entre lo local/universal, durante su viaje hacia la liberación de la pintura.

A NEW APPROACH FOR ADVECTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION
Authors: Göksel İzzet
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The advection-diffusion equation is fundamental in modeling a variety of physical processes, such as fluid dynamics,heat transfer, and pollutant transport. Traditional numerical methods often face challenges in achieving high accuracy and stability, particularly in advection-dominated regimes. This work presents a novel approach for solving the advection-diffusion equation, leveraging the pseudo spectral renormalization (PSR) method to enhance solution accuracy and computational efficiency. Our method combines the high-resolution capabilities of pseudo spectral techniques with a renormalization process to effectively handle nonlinearities. The proposed technique is validated through a series of medium parameters and numerical results. Results indicate that our approach provides robust and reliable solutions for advection-diffusion problems. This advancement has potential implications for enhancing predictive capabilities in engineering and environmental simulations.
THE HOMOGENEOUS SECOND-ORDER NUMERICAL SCHEME FOR SINGULARLY PERTURBED REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH INTEGRAL BOUNDARY CONDITION
Authors: Gurman Feriha , Cakir Musa
Published: July 2024

Abstract. This study introduces a novel second-order computational technique to effectively tackle Volterra Fredholm integrodifferential equations, which are characterized by integral conditions and boundary layers. Initially, some analytical properties of the solution are given. Then, the approach involves implementing a finite difference scheme on the piece-wise uniform mesh (Shishkin-type mesh). It integrates a composite trapezoidal formula for the integral component and utilizes interpolating quadrature rules and linear exponential basis functions for the differential part. The analysis of the method demonstrates that both the numerical scheme and its convergence rate exhibit second-order accuracy, ensuring uniform convergence with respect to the small parameter in the discrete maximum norm.
STABILITY OF DRAWING MICRO-STRUCTURED OPTICAL FIBERS
Authors: WYLIE Jonathan
Published: July 2024

Abstract. We consider the stability of the drawing of a long and thin viscous thread with an arbitrary number of internal holes of arbitrary shape. Flows of this type are fundamental in the fabrication of micro-structured optical fibers that have the revolutionized the transmission of data and are extremely important in modern sensing. The thread evolves due to a complicated interaction between axial drawing, inertia, surface tension, thermal and pressurization effects. Despite the complicated geometry of the boundaries, we use asymptotic techniques to determine a particularly convenient formulation of the equations of motion that is well-suited to stability calculations. We use this formulation to show how the presence of internal holes affects the stability of the drawing process and address a longstanding question from the literature. We also consider the interactions between external cooling, surface tension and inner hole pressurization and show that these effects combine in a complicated way to produce counterintuitive behaviour. We carefully explore these effects and explain the underlying mechanisms. Keywords: extensional flow, surface tension, stability. Micro-structured Optical Fibres (MOFs) have become instrumental in the telecommunications industry and are currently transforming various sensing applications. By meticulously designing the micro-structure, one can achieve highly customizable optical properties that are essential for a wide range of applications. MOFs can be created with extremely low attenuation, dispersion, and non-linear effects, making them particularly valuable for high-accuracy sensing applications. They have been successfully used to measure pressure, tension, strain, and other physical quantities, and to detect various gases. MOFs can also be designed to deliver laser beams over distances of several kilometres, a feat that would be unattainable using conventional optical fibres. However, fabricating these micro-structures to the required tolerances to achieve the optical objectives can be extremely challenging. This complexity is one of the reasons why MOFs remain a subject of intense research. MOFs are typically manufactured by feeding a large preform with holes through an aperture and pulling it using a take-up roller located a fixed distance away from the aperture. By spinning the take-up roller fast enough, the thread can be stretched to achieve the tiny diameters required for many applications. The reduction in diameter between the input aperture and the take-up roller is determined by the 'draw ratio', which is the ratio of the speed of the take-up roller to the feeding sp

Published: July 2024

Dimenhydrinate is an H1 antihistamine of the ethanolamine class used to prevent and treat motion sickness due to its significant anticholinergic, antiserotoninergic, and sedative properties. Drug reactions to dimenhydrinate are rare, with only three reported cases of fixed drug eruption (FDE) following its ingestion recorded in the MEDLINE database from 2000 to April 2024. This case report presents a 40-year-old housewife who arrived at the emergency room with severe pain in both legs and multiple plaques on her back and upper arms after taking a second dose of 50 mg dimenhydrinate for nausea and abdominal pain. Approximately one month prior, she experienced a similar but less severe reaction after taking the same drug. Examination revealed well-demarcated dark purple plaques, 4-5 cm in diameter, with no itching or pain. The patient was diagnosed with FDE based on clinical findings. The lesions improved after one week of intravenous methylprednisolone (62.5 mg daily) during hospitalization, along with discontinuation of dimenhydrinate. This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare drug reactions like FDE in patients using common medications and underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
A Dynamic Investigation to Analyzing Divorce Effects within Wolbachia Models

Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, poses a significant global health burden with approximately 390 million infections reported in 2016. As insecticide resistance increases, novel vector control methods such as Wolbachia bacteria are being investigated. Wolbachia reduces dengue transmission by decreasing mosquito lifespan and inhibiting viral replication. The mathematical model has demonstrated Wolbachia’s potential to eliminate local dengue transmission. Field trials in Australia and Indonesia have exhibited substantial reductions in dengue incidence following Wolbachia releases. However, concerns remain that these reductions may be transient. This report reviews a mathematical model of Wolbachia for dengue control, evaluating its assumptions and findings. The model indicates Wolbachia could potentially eliminate dengue locally, yet also permit endemic transmission. We propose further analysis of this model to assess the long-term impacts of Wolbachia deployment. Examining the duration of control measures and post-release effects will provide greater insight into Wolbachia’s capacity for sustainable dengue mitigation. The reviewed model comprises a system of seven ordinary differential equations representing a dual Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) structure for human and mosquito populations. Key assumptions include only modeling female mosquitoes’ post-aquatic life stages and complete cytoplasmic incompatibility of Wolbachia. The basic reproductive number was derived and equilibrium points were identified. This mathematical modeling approach enables the simulation of complex dengue transmission dynamics under various Wolbachia release scenarios. Further analysis can evaluate the potential for the ”honeymoon effect” and ”divorce effect” to undermine the initial successes of Wolbachia trials. This will facilitate a more robust assessment of Wolbachia’s long-term viability as a dengue control strategy.

Birleşmiş Milletler’de 2015 yılında kabul edilen Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri (SKH), enerji ve doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilir bir şekilde kullanılması ve küresel tehditlere karşı mücadele edilmesi amacıyla belirlenmiştir. Bu hedefler arasında, çevresel tehditlerle başa çıkmak ve sürdürülebilir bir gelecek inşa etmek için doğrusal ekonomik modelden döngüsel ekonomik modele geçiş teşvik edilmesi de bulunmaktadır. Dönüşümün başarılı olması için dijital teknolojilerin daha etkin bir şekilde kullanılması zaruridir. Döngüsel ekonomik modelin en önemli parçalarından olan atık miktarının azaltılması ve geri dönüşümü, bu sürecin temelini oluşturur. Bu kapsamda, atık yönetim süreçlerinin dijital teknolojilerle desteklenmesi ve optimize edilmesi, atıkların kaynağında ayrıştırılması ve yeniden kullanımının teşvik edilmesi önemlidir. Önerilen model, vatandaşların atık yönetimi konusunda bilinçlenmesini ve atık üretimlerini azaltmalarını teşvik ederek sıfır atık hedeflerine katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca, atıkların yerinde ayrıştırılması ve dijital teknolojilerin kullanılmasıyla atık toplama süreçleri daha etkin bir hale getirilerek, sorumlu kurum ve kuruluşların iş süreçleri kolaylaştırılması hedeflenmektedir. Bununla birlikte modelin uygulanmasıyla, dijital teknolojilerin sürdürülebilirlik ve atık yönetimi alanında nasıl kullanılabileceğini ve bu alanda ilerlemenin nasıl sağlanabileceğinin gösterilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Böylece, atık yönetimi ve sürdürülebilirlikle ilgili bilinçlendirme ve uygulamaların artmasıyla birlikte, çevresel etkilerin azaltılması ve kaynakların daha verimli kullanılması sağlanması hedeflenmektedir. Bu iş modeli, sürdürülebilirlik ve dijitalleşme alanlarında önemli bir adım olarak değerlendirilmekte ve benzer projelerin geliştirilmesine ilham vermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu şekilde, atık yönetimi ve sürdürülebilirlik alanında daha etkin çözümlerin bulunması ve uygulanmasıyla birlikte, gelecek nesillere daha yaşanabilir bir dünya bırakılması hedeflenmektedir.
