Benefits and Problems of Using Learning Applications in Teaching English
Authors: Joko Prayudha.S
Published: June 2024

This research describes the benefits and problems of teaching English using learning applications. This research is library research. The analysis shows that teaching English using learning technology has several benefits in the teaching and learning process, such as helping students understand the material more easily, increasing interest and motivation in learning, building self-confidence, training cooperation, increasing critical thinking, and creating an atmosphere where learning becomes more fun. For example, in learning speaking, teachers can use social media platforms to practice their English speaking skills, such as by recording videos on YouTube, voice recordings on WhatsApp Voice and so on. Besides that, several difficulties when teaching English using learning applications are time management, difficulty developing material, and students failure to focus on certain parts of learning. In this technology-based learning environment, it is necessary for the teacher to provide clear instructions to students regarding the use of learning applications so that the activity process can be carried out properly and appropriately. To be successful in teaching English by using learning applications, several aspects must be considered that involve all parties, including the availability of infrastructure and devices, the readiness of learning materials, learning activities that support students' cognitive development, and the readiness of teachers and students to carry out various learning applications.

Authors: Chen Xiaolong , Wong Cora Un In , Chen Bowen , Zhang Hongfeng
Published: June 2024

This inquiry endeavors to meticulously examine the intricate dynamics of the symbiotic developmental interplay among the gaming, tourism, and economic sectors in Macau. Utilizing the methodology of deviation standardization, the data undergoes scrupulous processing, invoking the entropy method to ascertain the weights of diverse evaluative indices. The developmental trajectories of Macau’s gaming, tourism, and economic domains spanning the years 2011 to 2021 are fastidiously gauged. Subsequently, a sophisticated coupled coordination model is employed to delve into the nuanced systemic interdependencies characterizing their developmental relationships. From 2011 to 2021, the holistic progression of Macao’s gaming and tourism sectors has exhibited a discernible ascent over the temporal continuum. Concurrently, the degree of coupling coordination has advanced from a state of near coordination to a commendable level of synchronized development. The overarching system of Macau’s gaming and tourism industries has transitioned from a state of disarray to one of ordered harmony, with the correlative impact of Macau’s tourism sector being adeptly realized. The supporting role played by Macau’s gaming industry in fortifying the tourism sector is conspicuously manifest. The alignment and coordination between Macau’s gaming and tourism sectors exhibit fluctuations across distinct developmental stages. During phases of nascent development in both the gaming and tourism domains, a palpable imbalance prevails. Elements such as the proliferation of gaming enterprises, international tourism revenue, aggregate output value of gaming establishments, market share held by gaming enterprises, and the profit margins thereof have, to a certain extent, impinged upon the harmonized evolution of the tripartite subsystems. This study proffers recommendations to foster the optimization and elevation of the industrial structure while championing the integration and advancement of diverse sectors. It advocates for the amplification of the propulsive impetus intrinsic to the gaming industry, coupled with the enrichment of the tourism product portfolio. Furthermore, it espouses the establishment of an effective mechanism for high-quality development, tailored to the exigencies of the contemporary era. This involves the implementation of precise policies, the facilitation of amalgamated progress in gaming and tourism, and an unwavering commitment to sustainable development through the interconnected alignment of gaming, tourism, and the broader economy. The findings of this study furnish a scientific foundation for the strategic industrial planning and developmental initiatives undertaken by relevant departments in Macau.

Authors: Valmorbida Francieli Dalle Laste , Correa Maria Lucia
Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho objetivou a realuzação de um estudo de caso em propriedades rurais com diferentes atividades agropecuárias no município de Itá, SC, sendo respectivamente analisada uma propriedade suinícola, com bovinocultura leiteira e avicultura de corte. No município existem 132 propriedades que trabalham com suinocultura, 410 com bovinocultura leiteira e 63 com avicultura de corte. Ainda no município existem 23 soluções alternativas individuais de água e 27 soluções alternativas coletivas, ou seja, poços substerrâneos em que várias famílias se beneficiam. Através da coleta e posterior análise em laboratórios credenciados pela CIDASC de 4 amostras de água e 6 amostras de solo, concluiu-se que a propriedade que apresenta menor índice de fertilidade do solo é a que trabalha com bovinocultura leiteira, sendo que a água que os animais bebem apresentou níveis de ferro elevados, que futuramente podem causar algum problema nos bovinos. As outras duas propriedades possuem solos com índices de fertilidade melhores, no entanto, sugere-se algumas correções dependendo do vegetal que será cultivado nos locais. Das 6 análise de solo, as 3 amostras coletadas na mata nativa merecem atenção especial, pois os índices de fertilidade são menores. Sugere-se então que ocorra a regeneração natural destas áreas. Em relação as análises de água, todas apresentaram-se contaminadas, no entanto, como na data da coleta o índice pluviométrico foi elevado, acredita-se que possa ter ocorrido contaminação. Sugere-se novas coletas e análises destas águas a fim de garantir saúde aos consumidores.

Environmental Deterioration of Damodar River, West Bengal
Authors: Das Gautam Kumar
Published: June 2024

Among a few scattered forest patches in Damodar valley, the forest covering the entire Susunia Hills is important for its species diversity of floral assemblages. Along the river course of Damodar, the main industrial area of West Bengal has developed. Though the sewage effluent from such industries empties into the Damodar River after treatment, the water of Damodar River is unfit for use even for outdoor bathing due to the presence of faecal coliform bacteria and higher values of biochemical oxygen demand in the river water exceeding the permissible limit. Damodar river water is probably polluted by the mixing of the surface runoffs from the non-point sources.
Present Environmental Scenario of the River Systems of North Bengal – A Review
Authors: Das Gautam Kumar
Published: June 2024

The Brahmaputra basin and the Ganga basin of North Bengal consist of many rivers and most of them originate from the hilly regions of Sikkim, Bhutan, Tibet, and Darjeeling. The Himalayan mountainous region in the state of West Bengal has an annual rainfall of 3000 to 6000 mm. These heavy rainfalls lead to landslides in hilly areas and severe floods in plains, mainly in North Bengal. Sewage discharged from municipalities in these basin areas enters the river water making it unusable even for outdoor bathing. For this reason, Paharpur to Siliguri is the polluted stretch of Teesta in 2018 and along Sevoke during 2022 in the category of Priority-V as demarcated by the Central Pollution Control Board.
Seasonal Variation in Macrophytic Diversity of River Ami Maghar, Sant Kabir Nagar, Uttar Pradesh
Authors: Divakar  , Dwivedi Anil Kumar
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the seasonal dynamics of aquatic macrophytes in the Ami River ecosystem across a 12-month cycle from mid-2021 to 2023. Total 37 macrophyte species were identified from the Ami River. The study reveals notable fluctuations in the presence of various macrophyte species, characterized by their abundance or absence during different seasons. During the summer months, numerous macrophytes thrive, suggesting favorable conditions for growth in warmer weather. As the rainy season commences, some species persist while others decline, potentially due to changes in water levels and environmental factors. A mixed pattern emerges in winter, with certain species enduring and others waning, likely influenced by colder temperatures and reduced sunlight. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of the Ami River’s ecosystem and its responsiveness to seasonal variations, shedding light on the intricate interplay between macrophytes and their environment. Understanding these seasonal fluctuations is paramount for effective ecosystem management and conservation efforts in the Ami River.

Authors: Rodríguez Murillo Andrés Mauricio
Published: June 2024

Es relevante el papel que está adquiriendo la presencia de los Vehículos de superficie no tripulados (USV) los cuales parecen estar impulsando una revolución en los asuntos militares (RMA), cambiando fundamentalmente la forma en que las fuerzas armadas operan y se enfrentan en la guerra naval, ofreciendo ventajas notables, como alta velocidad, baja detección radar, maniobrabilidad, bajos costos de adquisición y operación, ausencia casi total de tripulaciones. Estas son algunas de las características evidenciadas en el conflicto presente entre Rusia y Ucrania, convirtiéndose en una nueva amenaza y preocupación para la fuerza naval contrincante que pretenda conquistar, disputar o ejercer el control del mar, por la complejidad que representa su detección y la zozobra que genera estos sistemas, ocasionando que el control del teatro de operaciones marítimo y de los intereses marítimos de una nación sea incierto y difícil.
La amplicatio del locus amoenus en los prefacios de Juan de Mariana
Authors:   Universidad de Córdoba (España), Sánchez Torres Francisco
Published: June 2024

The following paper will approach the symbolic and rhetorical space of the locus amoenus in Juan de Mariana’s works De Rege et Regis institutione, first published in Toledo in 1599, and De morte et immortalitate, that were included in Mariana’sTractatus septem in Cologne in1609. Theprefaces to both worksfollow thestructure of a Ciceronianlocus amoenus, as it wascommon among the humanist scholars. This configuration of the philosophical discourse according to the Roman author can be found in Lorenzo Valla, Jerónimo Osório, etc. However, there are rhetorical differences between Mariana’s prefaces, especially when regarding the use of Latin. It is our aim to point these differences out, which are mainly based on the use of the rhetorical device of amplificatio. Furthermore, the ten-year distance between both texts reveal the evolution of Mariana’s style in Latin. We will indicate the structural function of the locus amoenus inside the texts and deconstruct the structure. Finally, we will establish similarities between the texts as a means to indicate the aspects in which Mariana evolved in his writing, paying attention to the modifications that embellish the text by means of various rhetorical devices.
Marcadores del discurso de cita directa en corpus españoles del PRESEEA: estratificación social y distribución diatópica
Authors:   Universidad de Granada (España), Repede Doina
Published: June 2024

The aim of this paper is to carry out a study on the social behavior and diatopic distribution of direct quotation markers considering data from PRESEEA-Spain oral corpus. On the one hand, from a sociolinguistic perspective, we will focus on the relation of the use of these discursive units with criteria such as sex, age, and educational level; and, on the other hand, we will consider their productivity in the samples of each city studied. As general results, the presence of different discourse markers (pues, o sea, en plan, etc.) that introduce direct quotation has been observed, a function linked to the initial position they occupy in the utterance. Furthermore, the geolectal difference is evidenced not only in quotation markers that are of exclusive use in some urban areas of Spain, but also in the stratification patterns according to social criteria.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus represents a significant public health challenge; hyperglycemic crises are serious complications that can result in morbidity or death. Objective: To establish factors associated with hyperglycemic crises (HC) in diabetic adults attended in a hospital in Lima. Methods: An observational, retrospective, and analytical case-control study was conducted in a General Hospital in Lima between 2015 and 2019. A total of 186 medical records (62 cases and 124 controls) were selected through simple random sampling. The outcome was HC, defined as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, and mixed state. The variables included age, sex, area of residence, health insurance, duration of disease, comorbidities, acute infections, and medication adherence. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square tests and Fisher's exact test, calculating crude (cOR) and adjusted (aOR) Odds Ratios. Results: In the bivariate analysis, factors associated with HC were sex (p=0.029), age (p<0.001), duration of disease (p=0.001), and medication adherence (p<0.001). No relationship was found with variables such as residence, health insurance, acute infectious processes, and comorbidities (p>0.05). In the multivariate analysis, factors associated with HC were age (aOR: 2.85; 95% CI: 1.41–5.79; p=0.004) and non-adherence to medication (aOR: 3.87; 95% CI: 1.84–8.18; p<0.001). Conclusion: Factors associated with HC are age and non-adherence to medication.

The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using peroneus longus tendon (PLT) autograft and hamstring tendon (HT) autograft.

Methods:

A quasi-experimental study design was utilized. This study was done at the Orthopedic Department of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, General Hospital, Islamabad, from July 2021 to July 2023. Patients were split into two groups, and they received either PLT or HT autograft. Pain, range of motion (ROM), muscle power, and return to jogging were assessed using the visual analog scale, goniometer scale, and anterior cruciate ligament-return to sports after injury scale at six weeks, three months, and six months post-surgery.

Results:

A total of 61 patients, out of which 26 patients received an HT (quadrupled gracilis and semitendinosus) graft and 35 received a PLT autograft. The patient’s mean age was 26.51 ± 6.78 years. The HT group had more pain at six weeks and three months, while the PLT group had lesser pain (P < 0.05). Both groups had mild pain after six months (P = 0.337). At six and three months, there was a significant difference in ROM (P = 0.05), but no significant change in the Medical Research Council power of muscles was identified. Thirty-four patients from the PLT group could jog without discomfort before six months. Overall, every patient was satisfied with the treatment that they received.

Conclusion:

Patients who had ACLR with a PLT autograft had significantly better clinical and functional outcomes compared to those who received an HT autograft.

Due to dwindling supply of new antibiotics, recent outbreaks of infectious diseases, and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, it is imperative to develop new effective strategies for deactivating a broad-spectrum of microorganisms and viruses. We have implemented electrically polarized nanoscale metallic coatings (ENM) that deactivate a wide range of microorganisms including Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria with greater than six-log reduction, in less than ten minutes of treatment. The electrically-polarized devices were also effective in deactivating lentivirus and C. albicans. The key to high deactivation effectiveness of ENM devices is electrochemical production of micromolar cuprous ions, which mediated reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Formation of highly damaging species, hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid, from hydrogen peroxide contributed to antimicrobial properties of the ENM devices. The electric polarization of nanoscale coatings represents an unconventional tool for deactivating a broad-spectrum of microorganisms through in-situ production of reactive oxygenated and chlorinated species.

Nanocomposites of inorganic nanoparticles and polymers changing their properties after the application of an external trigger have attracted great attention during the last decades. This also includes temperature-induced bond breakages of filler particles covalently connected to the polymer strands by thermo-labile crosslinking. This strategy opens a wide range of applications in the field of biomaterials, such as temperature-induced drug delivery or thermo-induced change of mechanical properties of composites. In this work, periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) nanoparticles having a superparamagnetic core are used to heat their surface locally by exposure to an alternating magnetic field. Complementary, this process is investigated by applying a numerical simulation. The size of the PMO shell is controlled by varying the used amount of magnetite cores. Modification of the core-shell nanoparticles with maleimide groups enables the attachment of a furan-modified P-HPMA by a thermoreversible Diels-Alder reaction. Additional fluoresceine functionalisation of the polymer allows the detection of the detached polymer after the application of an alternating magnetic field. The results show that the polymer can be detached from the nanoparticles' surface, creating an innovative stimuli-responsive nanocomposite.
ENTRE RUÍNAS, A ROSA
Authors: Biondo de Araujo Clara
Published: June 2024

O presente ensaio busca examinar alguns procedimentos poéticos do livro Parque das ruínas, de Marília Garcia, pautando um diálogo com ideias presentes na filosofia de Walter Benjamin. Assim, o jogo construído pela autora por meio da linguagem, da fragmentação, da repetição e da construção é analisado paralelamente a conceitos do filósofo. Por meio da rosa, dedicatória da obra de Marilia Garcia que a filia a uma tradição poética de autoria feminina, o estudo busca a potência da linguagem poética, também evocada pelo autor alemão ao aproximar arte e filosofia. Através do livro de Marilia Garcia e de alguns textos de Benjamin, o texto procura aproximar os gêneros poético e ensaístico, assim como almejaram os autores das obras aqui analisadas.
ALFRED E. TAYLOR, JOHN BURNET E O PROBLEMA SÓCRATICO
Authors: Lopes Campos Cordeiro Arthur
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo visa abordar a resposta de John Burnet e Alfred Edward Taylor ao “Problema Socrático” – isto é, às questões relativas ao pensamento e a vida do Sócrates histórico. Ambos são os principais representantes da denominada “Escola Escocesa”, bastante influente no início do século passado e que deixou marcas no estudo dessa importante questão da Filosofia Antiga. Para expor sua visão, será analisado o modo como os autores tratam as quatro principais fontes acerca da pessoa de Sócrates: Xenofonte, Aristóteles, Aristófanes e Platão. Feita essa análise, será possível compreender como Taylor e Burnet reconstroem a vida e o pensamento de Sócrates – com destaque para a Teoria das Ideias e a Doutrina Socrática da Alma. Por fim, o artigo tratará das razões pelas quais a posição da Escola Escocesa não é mais adotada por nenhum historiador da filosofia na contemporaneidade.
AUFHEBUNG E DEVIR
Authors: Albuquerque Rosmane Gabriele
Published: June 2024

Na Ciência da lógica, especificamente na Doutrina do Ser, Hegel (1770-1831) expõe a dialética ser-nada-devir. Também, na Doutrina do Ser, Hegel separa uma parte intitulada “Observação” para tratar brevemente do termo Aufhebung e seu conceito. É nesse contexto que Hegel mais reflete sobre a expressão. Na Ciência da lógica, ser, nada e devir são apresentados como categorias sistemáticas da lógica especulativa. É a partir dessa tríade que a lógica se desdobra progressivamente em momentos mais concretos. Já o conceito de Aufhebung aparece como condição necessária para tal desdobramento. É o que faz cada categoria avançar para outra. Desse movimento, emerge o devir como unidade conciliadora do ser e do nada. Diante disso, no devir, Aufhebung encontra-se como movimento que suspende ou eleva todas as demais categorias lógicas, proporcionando a passagem de um estado a outro. Isto posto, o presente artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar a inerente conexão entre os conceitos de Aufhebung e devir.
EMOÇÕES EM KANT SEGUNDO NANCY SHERMAN
Authors: Tomaz da Silva Hortênsia Teresa
Published: June 2024

A moralidade em Kant é compreendida como sendo aquela em que o indivíduo tem a sua vontade determinada unicamente pela lei moral, com a exclusão de quaisquer inclinações sensíveis ou sentimentos enquanto fundamento de determinação da vontade. Na medida em que o sentido de moralidade em Kant é compreendido desse modo, é comum que interpretemos as emoções em Kant como não possuindo e não podendo possuir qualquer papel moral. No entanto, tal visão de que as emoções em Kant não possuem e não podem possuir qualquer papel moral tem mudado. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente artigo será o de expor a defesa feita por Nancy Sherman no capítulo The Place of Emotions de que as emoções possuem um papel moral em Kant, expresso nas cinco alegações que serão apresentadas pela autora no referido capítulo.

CENTRALIDADE DO FOGO NA COSMOGONIA DO PITAGÓRICO FILOLAU
Authors: D'Luca Erick
Published: June 2024

Filolau de Crotona é situado historicamente no período arcaico da filosofia, entretanto, diferente de outros filósofos desse período, o pitagórico aparece sempre de modo superficial em manuais de introdução à filosofia arcaica. Esse papel periférico de Filolau na literatura é incongruente, dado que é um filósofo que perpassa obras platônicas e aristotélicas, sendo citado explicitamente no Fédon. O próprio Platão já foi acusado de ter plagiado o sistema do pitagórico em seu diálogo Timeu. Filolau possui um sistema filosófico extremamente sofisticado para sua época, no qual há uma metafísica baseada na dissemelhança e na harmonia, bem como uma epistemologia baseada no número. No entanto, este artigo não se reduz a pensar somente o lado mais “científico” de Filolau, mas busca, também, compreender o âmbito em que ele viveu e como a prática dos ritos e mitos influenciaram seu trabalho filosófico. . Assim, o presente trabalho dedicar-se-á mais especificamente à compreensão do fragmento 44 DK B7, onde se diz que o centro do cosmos de Filolau é chamado Héstia ou lareira. Héstia era conhecida como a deusa virgem do lar, tendo como seu símbolo a lareira. Foram verificadas, então, as referências na literatura à deusa, aos ritos dedicados a seu símbolo em espaços privados e públicos, como o mégaron, e suas possíveis correspondências ao sistema do pitagórico, a partir de uma leitura hermenêutica.
QUE SÃO OS TIPOS NATURAIS?
Authors: Esteves Ruffo Ísis
Published: June 2024

Naturalismo se refere a uma postura metodológica que busca compreender fenômenos de diferentes áreas humanas em uma perspectiva que toma o mundo natural como unidade básica da realidade. “Mundo natural”, entretanto, é uma expressão muito ampla e cuja aparente obviedade pode obscurecer algumas definições difíceis, entre elas, a definição do que é um tipo natural. Neste artigo, apresentaremos duas possibilidades para compreender os tipos naturais: A primeira – essencialista – postula que os tipos naturais são entidades objetivas e independentes que podem ser capturadas por nossos melhores estudos científicos. A segunda interpretação – funcionalista – entende os tipos naturais como o resultado de observações e experimentos no mundo natural, mas reconhece que os tipos naturais estão substancialmente relacionados com os princípios de categorização e organização realizados dentro de uma teoria que a torna bem-sucedida. Por sua maior maleabilidade, a postura funcionalista parece mais adequada para tratar tipos estudados em diferentes ciências naturais.
