An exploratory investigation on foreign language anxiety among English for Islamic Education learners in Brunei Darussalam
Authors: Noorashid Najib , Jamil Haziq
Published: December 2024

Amidst the global demand for learning English, a proliferation of scholarship continues to highlight learner difficulties and anxiety to master English as a second/foreign language, particularly in classroom settings. This study is significant as it is the first empirical study on foreign language anxiety (FLA) in a Malay-Islamic higher education teacher training setting that is concerned with formal Islamic edification in Brunei Darussalam. By utilising the FLA theoretical framework by Horwitz et al. (1986) and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), this study found that the general observation on FLCAS among Islamic trainee teachers at-tending English for Islamic Education as part of English for Specific Purposes module does not show a clear indication of FLA. However, further analysis shows that Test Anxiety and General Anxiety in classrooms have contributed to high levels of FLA among these learners. Our study also proposes some pedagogical and research implications that can be applied in other contexts sharing similar tradition and cultural settings in language education, and as part of comparative and transnational studies across the globe.

Published: December 2024

Se analiza el impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la salud mental de los estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí (ULEAM), partiendo de que hay una falta de investigaciones al respecto en Latinoamérica, especialmente en Ecuador. El objetivo principal es identificar y clasificar los factores psicosociales que afectan a estos estudiantes durante el periodo postpandemia, la metodología empleada es cualitativa, utilizando observación participante, revisión sistemática de la literatura y entrevistas semiestructuradas con una muestra de 30 estudiantes de Manta. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de los estudiantes ha experimentado un impacto negativo en su salud mental, manifestado en una disminución del rendimiento académico, presión constante y pérdida de interés en el aprendizaje, lo que ha contribuido a problemas psicológicos como estrés, ansiedad y depresión. Por demás, la transición a la educación virtual durante la pandemia ha añadido estrés adicional, lo que podría seguir siendo una fuente de tensión en el futuro. Además, se ha observado que las mujeres y los estudiantes de estratos socioeconómicos más bajos presentan rasgos más vulnerables y un aumento en problemas como depresión y ansiedad, exacerbados por la crisis sanitaria. El estudio resalta la necesidad urgente de desarrollar estrategias de intervención a largo plazo para mitigar estos efectos y garantizar el bienestar integral de los estudiantes, destacando la importancia de la colaboración entre instituciones educativas y expertos en salud mental para abordar estos desafíos en el contexto actual-futuro postpandémico

Different studies, developed over the years, have shown that the increase in human activities on the soil can influence the release of gases related to the increase in the greenhouse effect. In this sense, the use of methods that evaluate the evolution of C-CO2 has been considered as important indicators to detect changes in the environment, since they can be influenced by the crop and its cultivation system as a result of impacts on microbial activity. The objective of this work was to evaluate the release of C-CO2 from soils submitted to different ecosystems. Laboratory tests were carried out where soil samples, submitted to five different ecosystems, were collected in three different periods throughout the year in the municipalities of Brasiléia and Epitaciolândia, Alto Acre region, in the state of Acre, and were subsequently incubated. Subsequently, the evolution of C-CO2 was evaluated, and the readings were carried out periodically until the 500th day of incubation of the samples. The data were analyzed in order to evaluate the effect of different plant species on the evolution of C-CO2. Regarding the collection carried out in April, there was no difference in the evolution of C-CO2 between the areas. However, in the month of June, which comprises the period of the beginning of the transition between the rainy season and the dry season, and in the month of August, the dry season, it was observed that in the area of native forest occurred the highest values of C-CO2 flux, differing statistically from other areas within these months of collection. Between the collection times, only in the area of agroforestry system no significant differences were recorded in the evolution of C-CO2. The highest accumulated values of C-CO2 were recorded in the following sequence: native forest > agroforestry system > area with cassava > cultivated pasture > area with banana. It is concluded that the areas that present a greater contribution of plant material to the soil can serve as a stimulus to the development of microorganisms that, consequently, increase the flow of CO2, especially until the beginning of the dry season and that the absence of moisture negatively influences the emission of C-CO2, causing significant differences in the amount of release of C-CO2 between the study areas at the same time of evaluation.

Introduction: The increase in the consumption of licit and illicit drugs during pregnancy has contributed to health worsening, socio-family problems, and incidences of violence, constituting a global public health problem. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of psychoactive substance use in pregnant/puerperal women hospitalized in a reference maternity hospital in Ceará. Methodology: This is an exploratory, cross-sectional, retrospective documentary study of a quantitative nature, with a sample of 354 pregnant women/puerperal women. The instrument was used to guide the collection of data from the medical records: sociodemographic and gynecological-obstetric data. The collection was carried out from March to July 2023. It was submitted to the Ethics Committee for Research in the Health Area, and was approved by opinion No. 6.204.206 and Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Appreciation (CAAE) No. 70011723.5.0000.5050. Results and Discussion: Of the 384 medical records analyzed, 78 women reported the use of licit and/or illicit substances, 8 (10%) pregnant women and 70 (90%) puerperal women. Regarding the use of licit substances during pregnancy, the most frequent drug was tobacco, followed by alcohol. Regarding the use of illicit substances, the most frequent was marijuana/hashish/Skank (n=57, 73%), followed by cocaine (n=35, 45%) and crack (n=17, 22%). The results allow us to identify the need to expand public policies and implement new measures aimed at capturing and increasing the adherence of these women to health and rehabilitation services and, in this way, offering quality and holistic care in view of the needs found in each woman. Conclusion: The present study shows a population of vulnerability among pregnant and puerperal women who use PAS with a sociodemographic profile that requires greater attention from health professionals in addition to gynecological and obstetric care. Knowing more about the factors related to the greater probability of use of these substances in order to establish targeted and more assertive public policies is prevalent and necessary to change this scenario.
REALIDADES OPERACIONAIS VS. SUPOSIÇÕES ESTÁTICAS: REPENSANDO AS MÉTRICAS DE EFICIÊNCIA DE COMBUSTÍVEL PARA O GFI TARGET
Authors: Suman Luciana Maria da Silva
Published: December 2024

This study examines the operational efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of offshore support vessels, comparing the validation mechanisms of Proxy A and the Energy Operational Index (EOI) within the context of the GHG Fuel Intensity Indicator (GFI). The results indicate that the EOI surpasses Proxy A in accuracy by incorporating dynamic operational data, such as engine loads in different modes, and correcting discrepancies in reported fuel consumption. In a case study of a vessel operating in tropical Brazilian waters, low engine loads during Dynamic Positioning mode (19%) revealed inefficiencies, while higher loads in Navigation mode (68.66%) demonstrated improved performance. The findings highlight the value of the EOI in ensuring reliable emissions data and its strategic role in supporting sustainable practices and realistic decarbonization goals for the maritime industry.

Published: December 2024

Diabetes mellitus é uma condição sensível aos cuidados primários de saúde, caracterizada por níveis glicêmicos persistentemente elevados. A prevalência mundial é de 8,8% e no Brasil, de 7,6%. Objetivo: Descrever a evolução das taxas de internação, tempo de internação e gastos com diabetes mellitus, no Estado de Sergipe - Brasil, no período de 2008 a 2017. Método: Estudo descritivo de série temporal, os dados foram obtidos das Autorizações de Internação Hospitalares registradas no Sistema de Informação Hospitalar do Sistema Único de Saúde. Os dados foram lidos e analisados pelo programa estatístico R. Resultados: Sergipe registrou 608.083 internações pelo Sistema Único de Saúde neste período, destas, 125.497 foram Internações por condições sensíveis à Atenção Primária (20,6%). O diabetes mellitus foi responsável por 7,2% dessas internações, sendo a sexta causa mais frequente (a terceira entre indivíduos com mais de 50 anos). A taxa global no período foi de 4,1/10.000 hab. (3,8 em homens e 4,4 em mulheres). A variação foi irregular, com resultante aumento da taxa de internação. O tempo de internação aumentou 0,12 dias por ano durante o período (IC 95% 0,06 a 0,19). O custo da internação aumentou com o tempo de internação, numa média de $ 24,4 (IC 95% 23,14 a 25,58) por dia de internação. Conclusão: A Atenção Primária tem um papel preponderante na prevenção, diagnóstico precoce e tratamento da diabetes mellitus para evitar internações hospitalares prematuras. A pesquisa mostrou um comportamento irregular na curva de internações no período, que suscitam novas pesquisas para determinantes causais. O risco de internação foi maior no sexo feminino, mas nos últimos anos de vida inusitadamente foi maior nos homens. A diminuição dos gastos é preocupante, sobretudo com a parcela mais pobre da população, uma vez que a doença segue em ascensão e predomina neste grupo.

This study sought to identify the existing operational capacity and possible improvements that could promote the efficiency and sustainability of intercity waterway passenger transport in the state of Pará, during and after the Conference of the Parties – COP 30. The methodology used was based on a case study, composed of 6 companies that provide service in 5 connections belonging to the Marajó region, whose operations are regulated and inspected by the Agency for Regulation and Control of Public Transport Services – ARTRAN. The companies and connections were selected due to the tourist importance that the region plays in the vicinity of Belém. In this sense, semi-structured interviews were carried out in questionnaires made available on the google forms platform and technical inspections, with the generation of a specific report on the conditions of vessels and port terminals used by regulated companies. The results obtained showed that there was a significant investment by the state government in the construction and renovation of some waterway terminals. However, there are still many issues that need attention, such as proper compliance with accessibility standards. In addition, with regard to the operational fleet used by the regulated entities of the lines under study, it was found that, currently, there is already a high flow of passengers, especially for the stretches with the highest tourist visitation such as Soure and Salvaterra. Thus, it is necessary to expand schedules and invest in new vessels by regulated operators, and/or the entry of new operators for these lines.

Functional Equivalence in Science Fiction: Translating Culture-Loaded Words in The Three-Body Problem
Authors: Duan Siyu , Li Jinyan
Published: December 2024

The Three-Body Problem is a science fiction novel rich in historical and cultural elements, gaining substantial international attention and positively contributing to the dissemination of Chinese culture. This study aimed to examine the culture-loaded words (CLW) in The Three-Body Problem and analyze their translation methods. Using a stratified sampling methodology, the research identified the characteristics of the CLW and evaluated their translations under the guidance of functional equivalence theory in terms of communicative, meaning, and emotional equivalence. The findings revealed that the translation of CLW largely achieved communicative equivalence, though occasional inadequacies in meaning and emotional equivalence arose due to meaning weakening and compensation. Regarding translation methods, the translator mainly used free translation to ensure accessibility. Meanwhile, literal translation and combined translation method were applied to preserve cultural characteristics and enhance information transfer. This study examined how functional equivalence could be achieved in translating CLW in The Three-Body Problem. It identified key translation methods that maintained cultural nuances and enhanced the accuracy of cultural representation, thus improving the understanding of Chinese science fiction in international contexts.
Jamun (Syzygium cumini Linn.) Seed Extract as a Potential Antidiabetic Agent: Effects on Blood Glucose Levels, Haematological Parameters and Biochemical Profiles in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Albino Rats
Authors: Kumar Sanjeev , Shachi Kumari , Dubey Nagina Kumar
Published: December 2024

Diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing in India, making it essential to find alternative therapies that minimize side effects and improve patient outcomes. Safer treatment options are needed to manage the growing burden of this chronic condition effectively. This study evaluates the antidiabetic potential of Syzygium cumini seed extract (SCSEt) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by administering alloxan (120 mg/kg) in albino rats, and diabetes was confirmed with blood glucose levels ≥290 mg/dL. Rats were treated with SCSEt at doses of 2, 4, and 6 g/kg orally, with insulin (1.0 IU/kg/day) serving as a reference treatment. Over four weeks, SCSEt demonstrated a significant reduction in blood glucose levels compared to untreated diabetic controls, though less effective than insulin. Blood glucose levels in SCSEt-treated groups decreased from 286 ± 1.10 mg/dL (low-dose) to 110 ± 3.21 mg/dL (high-dose), compared to insulin-treated rats with levels of 112 ± 1.96 mg/dL. Haematological parameters improved with SCSEt, particularly at higher doses, where packed cell volume (PCV) reached 42.91 ± 0.98% and haemoglobin levels were 17.08 ± 2.06 g/dL. Biochemical analyses revealed reduced serum cholesterol and improved protein levels in high-dose SCSEt rats, with cholesterol dropping to 112 ± 1.92 mg/dL and protein rising to 6.39 ± 0.09 mg/dL. SCSEt also enhanced glucose tolerance, with high-dose SCSEt rats achieving the lowest glucose level of 104 ± 1.62 mg/dL at 100 minutes during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Although SCSEt was less effective than insulin in glucose management, its potential as a complementary therapy is supported by its significant improvements in glycemic control and lipid profile.
The Molecular Mechanism of Dicofol as an Agonist of the Human Estrogen Receptor: Insights from Molecular Docking and MM-GBSA Studies
Authors: GP Manjunath , David M.
Published: December 2024

The risk to human health has increased worldwide due to the widespread use of organochlorine pesticides. Dicofol (DCF), an organochlorine pesticide, is one of the most contentious endocrine disruptors; it can interact with nuclear receptors and interfere with their regular function. A member of the steroid hormone receptor family, the estrogen receptor (ER) is found in many bodily tissues. It binds to androgens and controls the activity of genes that are responsive to androgens. There is a chance that DCF will disrupt the estrogen receptor. In light of these specifics, we tested the ER disruption and related mechanisms of DCF using Molecular Docking, Generalized Born, and Surface Area Continuum Salvation (MM GBSA) in Molecular Mechanics. Dicofol may bind to the ER with efficiency, according to the docking results that were obtained. The MMGBSA results demonstrated that lipophilic interactions were the primary driver of the stable binding process. The current study supports the structural evidence that DCF is an endocrine disruptor and provides crucial guidance for finding safer alternatives.

The phenomenon observed is the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in financial management, as well as challenges in the integration and use of technology by existing human resources. This study aims to identify problems, evaluate the effectiveness of the accounting information system that has been implemented, and provide strategic recommendations to improve the quality of financial management. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach, using data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman Model involving data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the Marine and Fisheries Service of Sukabumi District has used two accounting information systems, namely FMIS (2022-2023) and SIPD (2024). Although the new system is equipped with key features that make financial management easier, user satisfaction is still low as SIPD is still in the experimental stage and faces stability issues. Lack of integration with other systems and limited human resources add to inefficiencies. Supervision has not been optimal, indicating the need for a more comprehensive evaluation to improve the implementation of the accounting information system.
