The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the family of hope program along with the obstacles in the family of hope program in Sidoarjo Regency. This research is based on the problem of assistants who carry out socialization only once every three months and there are still many PKH recipients who do not understand their rights and obligations. The research method used is qualitative research. The data collection technique is by means of in-depth interviews, observations and relevant literature studies with one key informant, namely the Village PKH assistant and four supporting informants including the District PKH coordinator, village secretary, and PKH assistance recipient communities. The analysis technique in this study uses a qualitative type that refers to the theory of Miles and Huberman. The results showed that the analysis of the family of hope program in Sidoarjo, namely, first, the achievement of goals. The achievement measure is said to have not been achieved because the targets for accepting PKH members are still not on target and the process of managing the aid index for PKH recipients is still not right. The second is integration, the size of integration is said to be not right because there has been no delivery of skills for PKH members in socializing with PKH facilitators. Third, adaptation, PKH facilitators are quite good and can adapt to PKH members and their environment.

Published: January 2023

O presente artigo objetiva apresentar discussões sobre a vivência de alunos deficientes visuais e/ou de baixa visão com materiais educacionais produzidos por professores de Geografia. A idealização emergiu diante da realidade apresentada em sala de aula advinda de um público específico, formado por indivíduos que são considerados discordantes aos padrões, estes normalmente são deixado de lado pela padronização dominante nos sistemas de ensino brasileiros, por possuírem uma incapacidade ou déficit de visão, mas fazem parte dos educandos encontrados em diversas salas de aulas por todo o Brasil. Diante desta realidade, optamos por produzir dois mapas táteis com formas e texturas diferentes, partindo de uma realidade mais próxima destes estudantes, pois desta maneira acreditamos inseri-los dentro de seu Espaço Geográfico cotidiano, inicialmente trabalhamos com a Região Nordeste; o primeiro destacando os nove estados e o segundo dando destaque ao estado do Ceará, a partir de uma base cartográfica que serviu de molde, elaborada no software QGIS Las Palmas 2.18. O trabalho foi aplicado no Instituto dos Cegos do Ceará, instituição de referência no processo de ensino e aprendizagem com pessoas de baixa visão e/ou deficientes visuais e seus familiares. Deste modo objetivando perceber de que maneira esse material didático cartográfico teria utilidade para o público-alvo e de que forma poderia facilitar o trabalho dos professores em sala de aula. Como resultados, validamos a utilização dos mapas táteis da região Nordeste com estudantes, levando em consideração o reconhecimento dos estados e sua localização. Diante disso, percebemos a importância e urgência em elaborar esses materiais didáticos inclusivos para alunos com deficiência visual.
A cartografia e a literatura na Terra dos meninos pelados
Authors: Parini Juliana Maria , Juliasz Paula
Published: January 2023

O ensino da Geografia, por meio da Cartografia e da Literatura, representa um importante instrumento de interpretação e compreensão do espaço geográfico e dos referenciais para localização e para orientação sobre ele. O presente trabalho apresenta e discute uma prática educativa que envolve texto literário de Graciliano Ramos e prática de mapeamento nas aulas de Geografia. A atividade de ensino propõe o desenvolvimento de croquis enquanto representação espacial aliado ao estudo literário no sexto ano dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. Para o desenvolvimento dos croquis parte-se da observação e o levantamento de elementos essenciais de orientação e localização presentes no capítulo final do livro "A Terra dos meninos pelados" de Graciliano Ramos. O selecionado trecho do livro "A Terra dos meninos pelados" apresenta a despedida de Raimundo (personagem principal do texto) de Tatipirun para seu retorno a sua casa. O personagem descreve elementos e pontos de referências essenciais por todo este trajeto, mobilizando os alunos a elencarem tais aspectos e pensarem a tradução gráfica em forma de croqui. Estes elementos nos permitem aprofundar elementos que pertencem à alfabetização cartográfica, mas também trabalha com a função psíquica superior da imaginação e estimula o pensamento espacial. Por meio da construção coletiva da interpretação do texto e a partir das abordagens teórico-práticas da Cartografia escolar, este trabalho busca confirmar a importância da Cartografia como instrumento de interpretação e compreensão do espaço geográfico, assim como destacar a interdisciplinaridade entre essas áreas e fortalecer a potência da Literatura como ferramenta promissora de repertório cultural e de aprendizagem.

O trabalho propõe apresentar as experiências vivenciadas a partir da utilização de mapas táteis como material pedagógico para subsidiar as atividades desenvolvidas no Estágio Supervisionado em Geografia, com uma turma do 3° ano do Ensino Médio do Colégio de Aplicação, da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina – UFSC no semestre 2022.01. Como metodologia foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica para suporte teórico, além de reflexões empíricas a partir das vivências do Estágio Supervisionado I, amparados no diário de campo da disciplina. No curso de Geografia, da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina - UDESC, as disciplinas de Estágio Curricular Supervisionado em Geografia I e II proporcionam ao licenciando uma experiência de aprofundamento e consolidação da formação, desde o processo de observação até a etapa de intervenção na escola.  Nestas disciplinas, o estagiário elabora planos de aula e media os processos de ensino-aprendizagem de conteúdos curriculares utilizando recursos didáticos direcionados a contemplar os objetivos de aprendizagem. A experiência do Estágio trazida à reflexão, teve como objetivo as apresentar e discutir as três principais regionalizações do Brasil: as cinco Macrorregiões propostas pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE, os Três Complexos Regionais e Os Quatro Brasis empregando como recursos didáticos mapas táteis. Ficou evidente, com o uso dos mapas táteis para cada regionalização, a sensibilização dos alunos, na percepção e identificação de diferenças de texturas, alturas, formas e outros símbolos presentes no mapa. Constata-se assim que os mapas táteis são recursos com potencial para dinamizar os processos de ensino-aprendizagem e permitindo o acesso às informações gráfico-visuais e a interação entre os alunos com e sem restrições visuais.

Published: January 2023

Rice production in Pamekasan Regency from 2011 to 2019 decreased by 38.71% due to farmers applying fertilizers that did not match plant needs, such as insufficient application of manure, organic fertilizers and other inorganic fertilizers. In addition, the basic fertilization obtained by farmers comes from informal information, so the application of fertilizers on the land is not efficient. Efforts have been made to overcome these problems by evaluating soil fertility from the aspect of nutrient retention as a basis for determining fertilizer requirements. The purpose of this study was to evaluate soil fertility, especially from the aspect of nutrient retention in paddy fields in Pamekasan Regency. This research used a purposive random sampling method based on SPL (Land Map Unit). Parameters observed were cation exchange capacity, organic C, base saturation, pH, electrical conductivity, texture, porosity, bulk density and saturated hydraulic conductivity. The results showed that the high level of soil fertility in Pamekasan Regency was found in cation exchange capacity in Tlanakan District (43.92 cmol kg-1), base saturation in Galis District (99.38%), pH in Tlanakan District (7.00), electrical conductivity in Pakong and Pasean districts (0.39 mS) and the dominant texture is the clay fraction. Low fertility levels are found in soil organic C in Waru and Kadur Districts (0.08%), bulk density in Pasean District (1.59 g cm-3), porosity in Proppo District (34.89%), and saturated hydraulic conductivity in Pasean District (46.34 cm hour-1).

Published: January 2023

The article presents a prospective clinical observation with a fatal outcome in a patient with severe granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) complicated by COVID 19 on the background of immunosuppression. At the onset of the disease, there were difficulties in making a diagnosis; differential diagnosis between eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and GPA was carried out. Against the background of combined therapy — the use of high and ultra-high doses of glucocorticoids (GC) and cytostatic drugs, a short-term improvement was noted. However, within a year and a half of treatment, it was not possible to achieve remission of the disease. Taking into account the ineffectiveness of the therapy, by the decision of the medical commission, the patient was prescribed genetically engineered biological therapy rituximab (RTM). There was a decrease in the activity of the disease, the achievement of depletion of B-cells. During the pandemic period, despite observing the isolation regime, the patient fell ill with a coronavirus infection. Immunosuppression contributed to severe infection. After the infection was treated, the activity of vasculitis increased, which required the repeated administration of RTM for health reasons. During the therapy it was short-term stabilization of the condition. But after short period — fever, an increase in respiratory failure, the development of neutropenia. Taking into account the initial lesion of the lungs in the patient, differential diagnostics was carried out between the complications of coronavirus infection and the activity of the underlying disease. Despite anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antibacterial therapy, the patient's condition progressively worsened, respiratory failure increased, hemoptysis appeared. Spontaneous pneumothorax on the right was diagnosed, pneumomediastinum. After repeated negative PCR results, the causative agent of SARS COV-2 was again detected in smears. The immediate cause of death, according to clinical observation and autopsy, was severe respiratory failure, thrombosis in small vessels of the lungs in a patient with a new coronavirus infection against the background of immunosuppression for GPA.
Fishes of Champaign County, Illinois: as affected by 120 years of stream changes
Authors: Sherwood Joshua , Tiemann Jeremy , Stein Jeffrey
Published: January 2023

With data spanning over 120 years, the Fishes of Champaign County is a comprehensive, long-term investigation into the changing fish communities of east-central Illinois. Surveys first occurred in Champaign County in the late 1880s (40 sites), with subsequent surveys in 1928–1929 (125 sites), 1959–1960 (143 sites), and 1987–1988 (141 sites). Between 2012 and 2015, we resampled 122 sites across Champaign County. The combined data from these five surveys have produced a unique perspective into not only the fish communities of the region, but also insight into in-stream habitat changes during the past 120 years. After a period of degradation, fish communities appear to be improving throughout the county, demonstrated by the return of two state-threatened species that had not been recorded since 1928. Our analysis of in-stream habitat indicates a general trend away from small streams of various substrate types toward wider, deeper streams with a more uniform substrate. Fish community data support the results, indicating a shift from typical headwater species to those species that frequent deeper streams with more stable flows. Long-term surveys such as this are rare, and the data and analyses of these surveys can provide managers with valuable information to further restoration efforts using a historical perspective.

Demand for digital health interventions is increasing in many countries. The use of recorded mental health recovery narratives in digital health interventions is becoming more widespread in clinical practice. Mental health recovery narratives are first-person lived experience accounts of recovery from mental health problems, including struggles and successes over time. Helpful impacts of recorded mental health recovery narratives include connectedness with the narrative and validation of experiences. Possible harms include feeling disconnected and excluded from others. Diverse narrative collections from many types of narrators and describing multiple ways to recover are important to maximize the opportunity for service users to benefit through connection and to minimize the likelihood of harm. Mental health clinicians need to know whether narrative collections are sufficiently diverse to recommend to service users. However, no method exists for assessing the diversity and inclusivity of existing or new narrative collections. We argue that assessing diversity and inclusivity is the next frontier in mental health recovery narrative research and practice. This is important, but methodologically and ethically complex. In this viewpoint, we propose and evaluate one diversity and two inclusivity assessment methods. The diversity assessment method involves use of the Simpson Diversity Index. The two inclusivity assessment methods are based on comparator demographic rates and arbitrary thresholds, respectively. These methods were applied to four narrative collections as a case study. Refinements are needed regarding a narrative assessment tool in terms of its practicality and cultural adaptation.

Authors: Donald Dennis Uba , Chinwuba Ugwu Callistus , Kayode Owoseni S.
Published: January 2023

This study examined the roles of collaborative shiftwork schedule and procedural justice as predictors of clinical decision-making in managed care practice among a selected sample of health workers in Abuja, Nigeria. The study was survey design conducted among 197 healthcare workers were selected using convenient sample from public and private healthcare institutions in Abuja. The Bergen Shift Work Sleep Questionnaire (BSWSQ) developed by Flo et al. (2012) was used to assess shiftwork collaborative scheduling. Procedural justice was measured using the Procedural Justice Scale (OJS) developed by Niehoff and Moorman (1993). While The Clinical Decision-Making Survey (CDMS) developed by Ferrell et al. (1991) was used to measure clinical decision-making. The result revealed that shiftwork did show significant relationship with clinical decision-making among psychiatric nurses [r (197) = .451, p <. 01]. Results from the multiple regression showed that procedural justice significantly predicted clinical decision-making among healthcare workers [? = .331, p <0.01]. The result of this study suggest that healthcare workers who engage in shift-schedule with a high perception of procedural justice have higher propensity to provide enhanced clinical decision-making at the workplace. The Nigerian healthcare reforms and policies should be reviewed, specifying issues relating to collaborative shiftwork for healthcare workers.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Most educational institutions administrators are concerned about student irregular attendance. Truancies can affect student overall academic performance. The conventional method of taking attendance by calling names or signing on paper is very time consuming and insecure, hence inefficient. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based attendance system is one of the solutions to address this problem. This system can be used to take attendance for student in school, college, and university. It also can be used to take attendance for workers in working places. Its ability to uniquely identify each person based on their RFID tag type of ID card make the process of taking the attendance easier, faster and secure as compared to conventional method. Students or workers only need to place their ID card on the reader and their attendance will be taken immediately. With real time clock capability of the system, attendance taken will be more accurate since the time for the attendance taken will be recorded. The system can be connected to the computer through RS232 or Universal Serial Bus (USB) port and store the attendance taken inside database. An alternative way of viewing the recorded attendance is by using HyperTerminal software. A prototype of the system has been successfully fabricated.[1]

Abstract: COVID-19 is the most lethal and life-threatening sickness induced by a single corona virus. In December 2019, the Corona virus, which seems originated in Wuhan, China and has been accountable for a significant quantity of fatalities, soon distributed around the world. A correct diagnostic can enable the rapid identification of COVID-19, even if there are no evident manifestations, and this can help people live longer. The most common clinical procedures Diagnostic tests and chest X-rays can both diagnose this illness. This study found that COVID-19 may be spotted using an object recognition method of chest X-ray images and Tomography. Such pictures give vital info on the COVID-19 virus, thus according to ongoing study based on radiology imaging methods... This suggested method, utilizing state-of-the-machine learning capabilities, which has been determined to be profitable in recognizing COVID-19 and when combined with chest radiography, can assist in the correct identification of the condition. The suggested approach for binary classification is designed to offer reliable diagnosis for patients with and without COVID. The results show that VGG-19 is the optimal configuration cantered on the picture, with 98.87% in connection comparisons and 95.91 percentage efficacies in insurance status identification. Each layer has its own filtering, hence convolutional layers were utilized. As a result, the VGG-19 classification system was competent in categorizing COVID-19 instances. . This approach, on the other hand, might be considerably enhanced by changing it or adding a convolution operation on front of it. Our system can help radiology validate their initial screenings and can also be used to quickly test affected role over the web

The measures taken to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus affected the world economy and in particular the tourism sector. The stoppage of activities resulted in a drastic drop in its operations, also impacting on the perception that tourism actors have in the process of economic recovery. The research sought to identify the perception of the actors in the tourism sector chain about the impacts generated by Covid-19 in the Jericó and Jardín municipalities, located southwest of Medellín-Colombia, with a qualitative and interpretive approach which tends to understand , interpretation and perception of the realities of tourism service providers. The design was cross-sectional, not experimental, and the phenomenological method was used. Direct effects were evident mainly in the sustainability and permanence of the companies in the sector, financial and income weakness, which generated unemployment in the region. Finally, the tourism companies located in these two municipalities do not have action and response plans to these external threats, which leads to decisions such as reducing staff, closing and liquidating the companies in the short term and the feeling of not having the support of public institutions.

This research aims to evaluate the National Public Procurement System (NPPS) as a strategic instrument of  public management, in Portugal. The creation of NPPS, in 2007, followed the European Union model for public procurement, based on criteria of economy, efficiency, and effectiveness that leads to greater transparency and accountability and reflects public value. This experiment analysis which are the weakest and the strongest dimensions of the NPPS and to what extent does the performance of the NPPS fit as a strategic instrument of public management. A research survey, based on the conceptual model developed by Essig et al. (2010) and later applied by Thi et al. (2012), adapted to Portuguese context, was applied to 1,500 entities linked to the NPPS. The sample size of 101 valid questionnaires corresponds to an effective response rate of 5.6%. The data analysis used exploratory factor analysis to validate the distribution of the variables and performed a principal component analysis with varimax rotation. The research concluded that NPPS has, in general, a low level of performance, despite the positive contribution of the “Information and control” and “Electronic platforms” factors in process management. These results corroborate the need for a realignment of the public procurement strategy in Portugal.

Abstract: Progesterone is a C21-steroid hormone, lipophilic, having log P of 3.56 and therefore, poor permeation of active moiety in the skin is a major challenge of transdermal delivery. There are many strategies to overcome the permeation of drugs through the skin, such as using nanocarriers, applying physical and chemical permeation enhancers and others. Penetration enhancers act by modifying the hydration properties of stratum corneum and altering the structure of lipids and proteins in the intercellular channels carrier mechanism. The present work estimates the in-vitro permeation of progesterone from microemulsionbased transdermal formulations containing Borneol as penetration enhancers. Progesterone was taken as a model drug. The microemulsion was formulated by a simple stirring method, followed by adding Myritol as oil, Tween 80 as a surfactant, and + PEG 400 as a co-surfactant. The globule size of the final microemulsion formulation was found to be in the range of 200- 394 nm with PDI 0.123, and Zeta potential study indicated -23.1 mV showing good stability. TEM images showed that the F14 batch is spherical, and its size was identical to that obtained from laser diffraction. For ease of application, microemulsion was converted to gel using Carbopol 980. Borneol with a concentration of 4% showed a drug release of 83% after 9hrs. The formulation's viscosity, pH and texture profile was found to be optimum. The final formulation follows Korsmeyer-Peppas release kinetics. A stability study of microemulsion gel was performed for 180 days at refrigerated temperature and room temperature. The formulation showed better storage via stability study with good spreadability. Thus, developed Borneol containing microemulsion-based transdermal formulation can be a promising alternative to deliver progesterone for hormone replacement therapy in any indication such as breast tenderness, infertility, lumpy (fibrocystic) breasts, low blood sugar, increased blood clotting etc.

Abstract: Only one-third of persons with psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, stress, anxiety, and depression get complete treatment, and the danger of relapse still exists. Additionally, they may result in several negative side effects, including impotence, constipation, dry mouth, and tiredness. Researchers are now looking for more specialized medications that are safer and cheaper. Researchers in this discipline has been interested in medicinal plants because they have historically been used to treat various illnesses, including mental problems, and because they have fewer side effects than synthetic & chemical medications. Western drugs have a wide range of adverse effects, and the number of individuals who experience them is rising. A comprehensive study on the use of herbal medicine for depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness is still missing. This review, which was carried out better to define the mechanisms of action of various herbal medicines, offers helpful data regarding the use of herbal medicine. Research on distress is abundant, but it's important to consider how well herbal remedies work for these conditions. Traditional medical systems are still used extensively on many fronts. Increased emphasis has been placed on using plant materials as a source of medicines for a wide range of human maladies as a result of factors like population growth, an inadequate supply of medications, prohibitive costs of treatments, side effects of some synthetic drugs, and the emergence of drug resistance to currently prescribed medications for infectious diseases. Objective- The overview covers all the pertinent topics in herbal treatment today, including safety concerns and potential future applications.

The unique mangrove root system is a gathering place for small and large waste. The density of the population results in varied activities so that the waste produced in various types, quantities and sizes can be distributed to the mangrove area either through rivers or carried by the wind. The purpose of this study was to determine the type and amount of waste in the mangrove ecosystem in Kupang City. The method used is observation. Sampling was carried out by installing a transect perpendicular to the sea along 70 m at the place with the highest abundance of waste and the thickness of the mangrove reached 50-100 meters. There are 6 transects installed at the study site and each transect is divided into three zones consisting of three quadrants with a size of 30 x 10 m2. The distance between quadrants is 20 m with the first quadrant being at the first point where mangroves are found. The results of the study found that the composition of the types of waste scattered in the mangrove ecosystem of Kupang City were 88,91% plastik with a total of 15,628 pieces, cloth (4,21%) with a total of 640 pieces, other waste (3,97%) with a total of 604 pieces, cork/foam (1,18%) with a total of 148 pieces, rubber (0,57%) with a total of 86 pieces, metal (0,29%) with a total of 44 pieces, glass and ceramics (0,15%) with a total of 11 pieces, then paper and cardboard (0,05%) with a total of 7 pieces.

The clinical case describes the difficulties of differential diagnosis of polyneuropathy that developed after Gam-Covid-Vac vaccination on the background of combined infectious pathology (HIV infection, tick-borne borreliosis, COVID-19) in a young woman. It is shown that various infectious and non-infectious diseases with similar clinical symptoms (peripheral nervous system affliction) occurring simultaneously in one patient can significantly affect each other’s course and complicate the establishment of the true cause of polyneuropathy. It should be noted that in this example, the establishment of a final diagnosis was carried out collectively, by consensus, and was based on the effectiveness of etiotropic (antibacterial) treatment, which in fact was an ex juvantibus therapy option, which made it possible to establish the most probable etiology of polyneuropathy – tick-borne borreliosis. In turn, HIV infection and possibly vaccination, according to the authors, could cause immunosuppression, which affected the degree of dissemination of Borrelia burgdorferi. It is also likely that the insufficient immune response in combination with the cascade plasma filtration session affected the initial dubious results of the serological tests, which further complicated the diagnosis.
