Published: February 2025

A referida pesquisa tem como foco realizar um estudo da política do transporte escolar no município de Baião no Estado do Pará. Pretende-se analisar o caso da Escola Professor Pastor Antenor Rodrigues de Freitas que atende os alunos da Vila Angelinópolis, situada às margens da BR 422. Metodologicamente a pesquisa segue uma abordagem qualitativa. A tipologia da pesquisa é um estudo de caso, tendo em vista a necessidade de evidenciar as características e especificidades dos sujeitos atendidos por essa política. Inicialmente foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico das produções acadêmicas existentes sobre o assunto. As técnicas de coleta de dados são análises documentais, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observações. Os resultados provisórios apontam que o transporte escolar, embora venha sendo ofertados aos alunos, os veículos não estão dentro dos parâmetros de segurança conforme prevê as normas de segurança do transporte escolar. Outro desafio se encontra nas condições de acesso dos alunos por meio dos transportes tendo em vista as condições de trafegabilidade das estradas e ramais, por não serem asfaltadas, no inverno as viagens tornam-se mais difíceis. Observa-se ainda a grande dependência que os alunos têm do transporte escolar para chegarem à escola, ainda mais para os que ficam mais distantes, a falta do veículo significa a falta na escola. Diante das primeiras impressões, denota-se a relevância que o transporte escolar representa para que os alunos possam acessar a escola e garantirem o direito a educação. Assim sendo, há necessidade de se avançar na qualidade da oferta desse serviço a fim de garantir segurança e conforto aos alunos no trajeto casa-escola-casa.

Authors: Vargas Eder Vanderson Marques , Vieira Ederson da Silva , dos Santos Marco Antonio Machado
Published: February 2025

Creatine (Cr) supplementation has been widely used by athletes and resistance exercise practitioners to improve physical performance and muscle recovery. Despite this, not all of its effects are fully understood, especially in the context of the load protective effect (WPE). This study investigated whether Cr supplementation can enhance WPE and reduce markers of muscle damage in 20 healthy men who had been weight training for more than six months (age: 26 ± 7 years; body mass: 81.3 ± 9.2 kg; height: 177 ± 0.07 cm). Participants were randomly divided into two groups: creatine supplementation (CRE) and placebo (PLA). The CRE group received 20 g of creatine monohydrate per day (4 doses of 5 g), while the PLA group received maltodextrin at the same dosage. The experimental protocol was conducted over 25 days and included strength testing (1RM in the Scott bench biceps curl exercise), blood collection for creatine kinase (CK) analysis and evaluation of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The results showed that Cr supplementation significantly reduced the perception of pain after the first and second exercise sessions, in addition to promoting a more attenuated response in CK levels compared to the PLA group. The CRE group also showed a significant increase in total body mass (TBM), which was not observed in the PLA group. These findings indicate that Cr supplementation can enhance EPC, reducing exercise-induced muscle damage and aiding in the continuity of strength training programs. Future studies are needed to investigate the mechanisms associated with these effects.

However, this relationship can benefit from structural improvements in the CTs and more efficient inter-institutional communication, enhancing its positive impact on educational communities.
EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE ON BLOOD RHEOLOGY
Authors: Santos Tálita Sabrina Pereira , Silva Igor Sombra
Published: February 2025

Several cellular processes and interactions are mediated through membranes. For optimal functioning, cell membranes must have stability and functionality, properties that depend on their degree of fluidity. Both extreme and insufficient fluidity are undesirable characteristics that affect cell physiology and can contribute to the loss of stability and consequent acceleration of membrane destruction, leading to cell destruction. Erythrocytes are a good model for studying the stability of biological membranes because of their convenience, since it is easy to monitor their lysis. The environment in which erythrocytes are found in the blood is a decisive factor in determining the composition and fluidity of the cell membrane. This environment can be altered by diet, exercise and various diseases. Hemorheology is understood as the study of blood flow and components in the micro and macrocirculation. Regular physical exercise promotes hemorheological adaptations in the blood, such as changes in the aggregation, deformability and fluidity of erythrocytes, in order to improve the efficiency in the collection, transport and delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Studying physical exercise in relation to hemorheology is important to determine the ability of cells to transport and transfer oxygen to tissues. Understanding the effects of physical exercise on hemorheology must encompass distinct analyses of acute and chronic changes.

Post-Adoption Behavior and Adopter Satisfaction of Cats Across Socialization Likelihoods
Authors: Ellis Jacklyn J. , Janke Kyrsten J. , Furgala Nicole M. , Bridge Taylor
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Cats with questionable sociability are routinely adopted into typical home environments, but there has been no published investigation into the welfare of these cats in their adoptive homes or the quality of the adopter experience. The objective of this study was to assess differences in post-adoption behavior and well-being between cats based on their likelihood of being socialized, as well as differences in adopter experience.
Methods: This prospective behavioral study surveyed adopters of cats assessed via the Feline Spectrum Assessment (FSA) and a randomly sampled control group (those never suspected of being undersocial) of cats with intake and adoption dates during the same period. Adopters reported on behavioral traits, situational behaviors, and adopter satisfaction.
Results: As the likelihood of being undersocial increased, cats were more fearful, less affectionate, and less amenable to approach and petting (more so by strangers, but also by their owners). Adopters of FSA cats reported being slightly less satisfied than control cat adopters. As the likelihood of being undersocial increased adopters were less likely to report a traditional home environment as the best environment for their pet than control cats.
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that cats never suspected of being undersocialized experience better welfare than undersocial cats, and their adopters are more satisfied. These results are more pronounced for cats found more likely to be undersocial by the FSA. Although it is becoming increasingly possible to find adoptive homes for poorly socialized cats, it does not appear to be in the best interest of many of these cats or adopters. The results of the FSA may be helpful for making pathway decisions for each cat; evidence suggests that at least FSA 1&2 cats should be slated for Trap Neuter Return (TNR) or barn placement unless significant progress is made in shelter.
From Policy to Practice: Monitoring SDG Targets with PIRLS 2021 Austrian Data
Authors: Van Staden Surette , Grobler Sunet
Published: February 2025

This study uses the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2021 data to test quality education targets related to primary education achievement, early childhood, skills for work, equity, the learning environment, and teachers' highest levels of qualification. Using Austrian data as a specific case, a regression analysis was performed on items from the student, home, and teacher questionnaires with overall reading literacy achievement as the outcome variable. Results show a drop in Austrian primary education reading literacy achievement between PIRLS 2016 and PIRLS 2021. Targets of early childhood, skills for work, equity, and a safe and effective learning environment are statistically significantly related to reading achievement. Boys trail girls in reading achievement, and higher teacher qualifications do not translate into significantly better reading results. The study's focus on targets with evidence from PIRLS raises two issues: the extent of the PIRLS contribution to measuring and monitoring SDG 4 targets and how PIRLS can help operationalize interconnected targets.
Conditioning of the hydraulic ash removal system effluent with the use of cavitation technology as a basis for reducing environmental risks of thermal power plants
Authors: Kulagina Tatiana , Dubrovskaya Olga , Bashun Viacheslav , Dubrovskaya Sofiya
Published: February 2025

The paper presents the results of research into the application of reagent-free methods of clarified water treatment in closed hydraulic ash removal systems of thermal power plants. We propose the installations using cavitation technology on the basis of theoretical analysis and experimental studies, which allows simultaneously solving the problems of physical and chemical water purification and excluding the deposit of insoluble salts in pipelines. The aim of the study is to develop technological proposals and technical solutions for modernization of classical settling ponds aimed to improve the efficiency of treatment of hydro ash removal system effluent. Efficiency of clarified water treatment of the hydraulic ash-transport system of the heat enterprises and power complex in settling ponds (standard hydraulic structures) does not meet the requirements to the quality of water treatment established by the Russian environmental legislation both for discharge into natural water bodies and for the formation of a full-fledged recycling industrial water use. In this connection it is expedient to develop and introduce into production alternative, reagentless, and highly effective methods of treatment of multicomponent waste water. Such methods include wastewater treatment based on the effects of hydrothermodynamic cavitation.
Mocheresis, Mucheirisis, Mechlessus, Mochora? Toponym identification challenges
Authors: Wieczorek Marcin
Published: February 2025

The article reviews research related to the location of the city of Mocheresis, situated in Lazica (Colchis), and proposes its function and possible localization. There is also a region with the same name, and ancient historians often did not distinguish between the city and the region, which significantly hinders the location of the former. Moreover, references to both toponyms are mostly laconic. The first part of the article is an overview of the sources and proposals for situating the toponym and the difficulties faced by researchers of the geography of the southwestern Caucasus in Late Antiquity. The second part is an attempt to reconstruct the defensive system of Lazica and to limit the area in which the city of Mocheresis should be sought. Based on source data, I propose to consider Mocheresis as a component of this system. The city of Mocheresis was not a theater of military operations during the Persian-Roman war during the sixth century, therefore I point out that the possible location of the polis was the area in the north or north-east Mocheresis-region on the border with Persian Iberia, as indicated by the itinerary of St. Maximus the Confessor, and the insights of Procopius of Caesarea, Agathias Scholasticus, and Novella 28 of the Justinian Code. It could serve as a fortress securing valley on the border along with the other fortress Losorion and existed only in the sixth century A.D.
Integrated Learning Paradigm for Ecological Predictive Modeling
Authors: Gupta Subir , Roy Soumojit , Maji Kalyan
Published: February 2025

This study introduces the Integrated Learning Paradigm (ILP), a novel construct designed to improve the predictive capability of the biodiversity impact assessment model. The ILP brings together Support Vector Regression (SVR), Linear Regression, and Random Forest in a single model so that each of these algorithms can be used to its fullest. The intent behind this integration is to enhance the battle against overfitting within the model improving mainly R² and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Our study systematically evaluates the ILP relative to standalone models using ecological data datasets. The findings are rather surprising: the ILP specializes in R² which correlates with the amount of prediction error and fluctuations with standard deviation which create an RMSE of 688.2 which greatly surpasses that of SVR, Linear Regression and Random Forest. It implies a figure that explains the data more appropriately while making prediction errors in magnitude that is lower than anticipated. Supporting evidence is supplied through detailed visual analyses on the ILP, including residual and overlapped histogram plots, which showed differences in ILP’s performance on consistency and reliability of prediction. As these analyses indicate, the ILP is highly promising for the analysis of ecological data. In the end, the exceptional level of effective incidence of the ILP on the other hand, dimension, focuses more on the needs of the conservation methods and sustainable development processes in relation to policy provision and management strategies for the ecological system.

Published: February 2025

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malaysian government has implemented the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme. However, little research has been published on the perceptions of Malaysians regarding the vaccination programme. This study aims to (1) analyse the sentiment analysis of Facebook user perceptions using a Support Vector Machine and (2) identify the topics associated with the introduction of a COVID-19 vaccination programme in Malaysia for each sentiment. Facepager software was used to retrieve all vaccine-related comments. The R software was subsequently utilised for data cleaning and analysis. A linear Support Vector Machine regression model was used to classify the data into negative, neutral, and positive sentiments through sentiment analysis. To accomplish community detection in semantic network analysis and identify the topics for each sentiment, a clustering technique based on the Louvain method was employed. From a total of 5055 comments, 3269 (64.62%) are categorised as negative, followed by 1068 (21.11%) as positive, and 722 (14.27%) as neutral sentiment. The most discussed topics for negative-, positive- and neutral-sentiment were the negative effects of vaccines (74.9%), concern on vaccine adverse effects (69.0%), and lack of confidence (53.1%), respectively. The study findings can aid the local government and agencies to timely address public concern on COVID-19 vaccines.

PATH OF NATIONALISM IN THE FORMATION OF MALAYSIAN POLITICS
Authors: Ku Hasnan Ku Halim  , Shuhairimi Abdullah  , Ahmad Mujahid Ahmad Zaidi
Published: February 2025

The concept of nationalism is said to have existed in the 12th century, however, this ideology only emerged as an influential political ideology in the 19th century when some colonies began to demand independence from the colonialists. Scholars of western political thought consider the year 1648 to be the turning point for the presence of nationalism as a political ideology. This was evidenced in that year by an agreement that brought an end to the 30 -year war in Europe which had implications for the birth of the nation -state concept. The treaty was the Treaty of Westphalia, in which the treaty did not affect the rights of a nation-state, and national sovereignty (Baradat; 1984). This survey study was conducted to examine the journey of nationalists in Malaysia as well as the conflicts that occurred in the formation of Malaysians through several previous studies. The results of this study can be used as a reference to determine the best concept to discuss the aspects of nationalism in Malaysia.
Continuous-cover forestry – the appropriate concept for climate change adaptation of forests in Germany?
Authors: Spathelf Peter , Bolte Andreas
Published: February 2025

Continuous-cover forestry (CCF) is a largely coherent strategy for adapting to climate change, in particular if it is following the concepts of adaptive forest management (AFM). The key is to distribute and reduce the risk of disturbance. A mixture of tree species and provenances with high functional diversity are the most important levers. Active adaptation is most relevant in young forests and where specific ecosystem services are pursued. However, the following measures serve to improve the presented silvicultural approach and should be given particular attention, among others the use of diverse forms of regeneration, the consideration of non-native or non-local tree species and provenances, and the creation of sufficient attributes from natural, unmanaged forests.

Figurines, particularly female anthropomorphic depictions, are a hallmark of the southwest Asian and Eurasian Neolithic and Chalcolithic. During the European Bronze Age, plastic anthropomorphic representations are thought to largely disappear from the archaeological record in many regions; figurines are believed to have been no longer an integral part of everyday life and beliefs. The massive occurrence of figurines along the middle and lower Danube and specifically the Iron Gates region in the Late Middle and earlier Late Bronze Age, particularly in the Žuto Brdo – Gârla Mare Culture, is seen as an exception and has accordingly attracted much attention. The apparent lack of a local figurine tradition has been the basis for a variety of theories on this sudden appearance frequently involving contacts with the Aegean world. It has become increasingly clear though that figurines are in fact attested in lower quantities for many southeast and central European regions during the latest Chalcolithic and the Bronze Age. The present paper will re‑examine the evidence for Bronze Age anthropomorphic figurines from southeastern Europe before and beyond the Žuto Brdo – Gârla Mare Culture and challenge the image of an “exceptional occurrence” of figurines in favour of a continuous, if sometimes hardly archaeologically visible, development of depictions of the human body.

The discovery of a fibula in the settlement of the Poienești – Lucașeuca culture at Ivancea – Sub pădure (Orhei, Republic of Moldova) allows the authors to resume the discussion about the Zarubincy type. This fibula is the second specimen of this type discovered in the environment of the Poienești – Lucașeuca culture (besides the one discovered earlier in the settlement of Lucaşeuca II). The authors intend to deepen aspects related to origin, spread and chronology of Zarubincy‑type fibulae.

Milestones are traditionally considered the clearest evidence of the construction and repair of Roman roads throughout the Empire. However, there are other interpretations, according to which the inscriptions on some ancient milestones represent only the expression of the loyalty of the local authorities to the emperor, the milestones losing their basic function in Late Antiquity, namely, to indicate the distance between two localities and to help the traveller during the journey. We are talking, above all, about the milestones dated to the second half of the 3rd century AD and the beginning of the next one. In the present paper, the information provided by the inscription texts on the late Roman milestones is analysed, in order to see to what extent this interpretation is valid or not for the Lower Danube area.

Mục tiêu: Khảo sát sự biến đổi nồng độ Natri máu và kết quả điều trị ở bệnh nhân chấn thương sọ não.
Đối tượng và phương pháp: Nghiên cứu hồi cứu, mô tả trên 98 bệnh nhân chấn thương sọ não, điều trị tại Khoa Hồi sức Ngoại, Bệnh viện Quân y 103, từ tháng 01/2022 đến tháng 9/2024.
Kết quả: Bệnh nhân trung bình 48,42 ± 18,72 tuổi; đa số là nam giới (81,6%) và chấn thương do tai nạn giao thông (82,7%). Có 27,6% bệnh nhân bị kết hợp chấn thương ngực; 38,8% bệnh nhân cần can thiệp phẫu thuật, 31,6% bệnh nhân mắc đái tháo nhạt. Điểm Glasgow trung bình lúc nhập viện là 7,46 ± 3,74 điểm. Tăng Natri máu chiếm ưu thế so với giảm Natri máu ở hầu hết các ngày trong tuần đầu sau chấn thương, với tỉ lệ tăng cao nhất vào ngày thứ 4 (49,0%). Hạ Natri máu phổ biến vào ngày đầu tiên (17,3%) nhưng giảm dần sau đó. Nhóm bệnh nhân tử vong có nồng độ Natri máu cao hơn đáng kể so với nhóm bệnh nhân sống từ ngày thứ 2 đến ngày thứ 4 (p < 0,05). Kết quả điều trị: 44,9% bệnh nhân sống, 55,1% bệnh nhân tử vong.
Kết luận: Tăng Natri máu làm tăng nguy cơ tử vong trên bệnh nhân chấn thương sọ não. Kiểm soát tốt rối loạn Natri máu có thể cải thiện tiên lượng và kết quả điều trị trên bệnh nhân chấn thương sọ não.

Grey Wolf Optimization-Based Hyper Parameter Tuning For Deep Neural Networks in Thyroid Disease Diagnosis
Authors: M Madhumalini
Published: February 2025

Thyroid disorders affect millions of people worldwide, however quick treatment is vulnerable by high rates of misdiagnosis. The lack of current clinical decision support systems inspires the development of novel approaches. In mandate to increase thyroid disease prediction, this study finds a gap in the use of machine learning, optimization and deep learning algorithms. The age and gender for thyroid data is predicted by using the proposed Deep Learning method based optimization technique called Grey Wolf Optimization based hyper parameter tuning with Deep Neural Network. Initially, data cleaning is applied to the thyroid data to replace missing values and for raw data conversion. Next, the data are featured using the Recursive Feature Elimination, to identifying its most important features and eliminating others from thyroid dataset. Finally, a GWO based DNN framework is processed to enhance the classification of thyroid disease diagnosis. Using python software the proposed framework an improved accuracy of 92% is accomplished when compared to other techniques.
