Authors: Magyar Attila , Omar Marwan
Published: November 2024

The proliferation of mobile devices has significantly increased the importance of securing these platforms from malware threats. Traditional malware detection methods often fall short in addressing the sophisticated and evolving nature of mobile malware. This chapter explores the application of deep learning techniques to enhance mobile device malware detection. The authors propose a novel framework that leverages deep learning to analyze and classify mobile applications based on their behavior and code features. The approach incorporates both static and dynamic analysis, enabling the detection of previously unseen malware variants. The authors evaluate the performance of our framework using a comprehensive dataset of benign and malicious applications, demonstrating superior accuracy and reduced false positive rates compared to conventional methods. Additionally, they discuss the challenges and limitations of deep learning in this context, including computational resource requirements and the need for large-scale, labeled datasets.

Authors: Wool Jesse R. , Chittams Jesse , Meghani Salimah , Morrison Wynne , Deatrick Janet , Ulrich Connie M.
Published: November 2024

Background

Parents of children in pediatric intensive care units have varied communication experiences with health care professionals. Little is known about factors associated with parents’ perceptions of miscommunication.

Objective

To examine children’s clinical and parents’ demographic and psychosocial factors associated with perceptions of miscommunication in the pediatric intensive care unit.

Methods

This study was a cross-sectional survey of parents of children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit between January 1, 2018, and February 29, 2020, with a stay of greater than 24 hours.

Results

Most of the 200 parent respondents were female (83.4%), White (71.4%), and non-Hispanic (87.9%); median age was 39 years (mean [SD], 40.2 [8.75] years); 17.6% were Black or African American. Among 210 children, mean (SD) age was 6.1 (6.02) years, mean (SD) stay was 4.5 (6.2) days, 38.6% were admitted because of respiratory illness, and the admission was the first for 51.0%. Of the parents, 16.5% reported miscommunication in the pediatric intensive care unit. In multivariable linear regressions, parents’ stress (β = 0.286), parents’ views of clinician communication (β = −0.400), parents’ trust in physicians (β = −0.147), and length of stay (β = 0.122) accounted for 45% of the explained variance in parent-perceived miscommunication (R2 = 0.448, F = 41.19, P < .001).

Conclusions

Parental stress and trust in physician scores were associated with perceived miscommunication. Further research is needed to understand the causes and consequences of miscommunication in order to support hospitalized children and their parents.

Authors: Shah Dhruv , Ghosh Kuldeep , Singh Robin , Bonfante Ivonne , Nagales Josette , Wuthrich Andrew , Wilson Christopher , Trenard Natoushka , Poor Armeen D.
Published: November 2024

Background

Intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians are at risk for burnout, which can be driven by depersonalization. Photographs of patients in their baseline state of health before ICU admission may enhance the connection between clinicians and patients. The use of patient photographs has not been evaluated in an urban community teaching hospital.

Objective

To evaluate whether an interprofessional group of clinicians perceive that patient photographs in the ICU help them connect with patients and enhance empathy.

Methods

A prospective observational quality improvement study was performed in the medical ICU of an urban community teaching hospital. Patients’ families could display patients’ photographs in the unit. Registered nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, and patient care associates completed anonymous surveys.

Results

Families of 21 patients provided photographs; 82 clinicians (47 physicians, 25 nurses, 5 respiratory therapists, and 5 patient care associates) completed surveys. Most clinicians (83%) agreed that the patient’s personality and character were emphasized by photographs, 77% agreed that photographs facilitated communication with the patient and/or family, 89% agreed that patient photographs helped them relate to the patient as an individual, and 76% were not upset by comparing the photograph with the patient. Responses did not significantly differ by clinician type. Survey comments highlighted themes of humanization, fulfillment, and hope.

Conclusion

Patient photographs may enhance connections between clinicians and patients in the ICU, potentially reducing depersonalization and burnout.
Association of Area Deprivation Index With Mortality in Critically Ill Adults With COVID-19
Authors: Harris Ronald , Rosser Morgan , Chowdhury Anand M. , Ohnuma Tetsu , Raghunathan Karthik , Haines Krista L. , Krishnamoorthy Vijay
Published: November 2024

Background

Various social determinants of health have been established as significant risk factors for COVID-19 transmission, prevalence, incidence, and mortality. Area deprivation index (ADI, a composite score made up of educational, housing, and poverty markers) is an accepted multidimensional social determinants of health measure. Little is known about how structural social determinants of health before hospitalization, including ADI, may affect mortality related to COVID-19 in critically ill patients.

Objectives

To examine the association of ADI with intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in patients with COVID-19 and compare its predictive power with that of clinical factors.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study of critically ill adults with COVID-19 in 3 hospitals within a single health system. Multivariable logistic regression models (adjusted for demographic and clinical variables) were used to examine the association of ADI with ICU mortality.

Results

Data from 1784 patients hospitalized from 2020 to 2022 were analyzed. In multivariable models, no association was found between national ADI and ICU mortality. Notable factors associated with ICU mortality included treatment year, age, van Walraven weighted score, invasive mechanical ventilation, and body mass index.

Conclusion

In this study, clinical factors were more predictive of mortality than ADI and other social determinants of health. The influence of ADI may be most relevant before hospital admission. These findings could serve as a foundation for shaping targeted public health strategies and hospital interventions, enhancing care delivery, and potentially contributing to better outcomes in future pandemics.
The Lived Experiences of Telemedicine Intensive Care Unit Nurses
Authors: George Annie
Published: November 2024

Background

Although nurses are the primary clinicians in telemedicine intensive care units (tele-ICUs), their experiences remain underresearched.

Objective

To describe and interpret the lived experiences of tele-ICU nurses.

Methods

A qualitative, hermeneutical, phenomenological approach based on van Manen’s methodology was used to collect and interpret interview data. In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 tele-ICU nurses affiliated with a health system in the northeastern United States. The interviews were intended to elicit direct reports of specific incidents to capture the phenomenological experience. Field observations of the practice setting were conducted to enhance data richness.

Results

The participants were primarily female, aged 34 to 67 years, with 11 to 45 years of nursing experience. The following 4 major themes and 12 subthemes were identified: (1) watching intensively and panoptically, with subthemes (a) affirming unremitting diligence, (b) uncovering virtual knowing, and (c) easing perceptions of intrusion; (2) transcending complex boundaries, with subthemes (a) building trustful collaboration, (b) discerning vigilant interventions, and (c) exercising skillful investigation; (3) transforming nursing practice, with subthemes (a) mastering tact, (b) delineating the critical wholeness, and (c) augmenting safety and quality of care; and (4) developing an e-identity, with subthemes (a) tempering feelings of working in shadows, (b) evolving to the enhanced specialist role, and (c) achieving professional gratification.

Conclusions

Tele-ICU nurses play a transformative role in nursing practice. These findings have implications for nursing practice, education, health policy, enhancement of the current American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) Tele-ICU Nursing Practice Model, and future research on ICU telemedicine.

Background: Viral hepatitis is of global importance and inflicts a huge healthcare cost in northeast India where its prevalence and the prevalence of drug-resistant variants are not well known. Hepatotropic viruses (hepatitis B virus, hepatitis A virus, hepatitis C virus and hepatitis E virus) are known to cause ‘viral hepatitis.’ This study documents the prevalence and genotype of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in northeast India.Aim: Identification of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotypes with their resistance-associated variants (RAVs) could facilitate the development of selective antiviral drug regimens against HCV infection. The present study aims to identify the HCV genotype from six northeastern states of India.Methods: The study was carried out between 2018-2022 from hospitalised cases of viral hepatitis in six northeastern states of India namely Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Manipur. A total of 1300 subjects were enrolled, from whom 88 HCV-positive samples were processed for molecular characterisation.Results: Of the 88 samples evaluated for genotyping and sub-typing, 58 (66%) were HCV genotype 3b, 15 (17%) were 3a, 8 (9 %) were 6n, 2 (2%) were 6xa, 3 (3 %) were 1a, and 2 (2 %) were 1b respectively. Genotype 6n was common among injecting drug users (IDUs) (5/8; 62.5%). Resistance-associated variants (RAVs) 30K and 31M of HCV NS5A region were observed in 5/30 (16.6%) HCV genotype 3b. This could indicate likely resistance to directly acting antivirals (DAAs) targeting the NS5A of HCV. RAVs C316N mutation of NS5B region was also observed in 1/1 (100%) of HCV genotypes 1b.Conclusion: A higher prevalence of HCV genotype 3b was observed in the study population. Furthermore, overlapping of RAVs 30K and 31M of HCV NS5A region with HCV genotype 3b may pose treatment failure. Genotypes HCV 6n and HCV 6xa were also identified, which may be the first to be reported from northeastern parts of India.
Paolo Magretti Naturalista, esploratore
Authors: Spinello Francesco , Maretti Stefano
Published: November 2024

L’interesse e la ricerca biografica su Paolo Magretti hanno inizio nel 2004 insieme all’amico Carlo Violani, all’epoca Docente di Storia della Biologia e di Museologia Naturalistica presso l’Università degli Studi di Pavia, nonché Presidente della Società Italiana di Scienze Naturali, che mi confessò esserne un lontano parente.
Non fu facile inizialmente recuperare notizie su questo scienziato non accademico: internet non offriva molte informazioni e potevamo contare soltanto su alcune delle quaranta pubblicazioni del Magretti, dei necrologi a lui dedicati e dei documenti conservati presso il Museo di Storia Naturale di Genova.
Notammo subito che in quell’anno cadevano i 150 anni dalla nascita del Nostro e rapidamente cercammo di coinvolgere amici, studiosi, organizzazioni a carattere ambientale, culturale e scientifico (tra cui la Società Italiana di Scienze Naturali) ed enti pubblici nella realizzazione di una serie di eventi celebrativi coordinati da un apposito comitato promotore. L’avvio di queste manifestazioni nel comune di Paderno Dugnano innescò un interesse molto sentito tra le associazioni attive sul territorio e i cittadini che, a loro volta, contribuirono ad approfondire le conoscenze sulla figura del naturalista anche fornendo rari documenti originali sulla famiglia Magretti. Le ricerche effettuate nei musei di storia naturale di Genova, di Milano e di Pavia portarono alla stesura di una prima pubblicazione per conto del comune padernese e alla realizzazione di un’apposita mostra. Era l’inizio di un lungo percorso che ha portato novità sempre crescenti sulla vita e le opere di questo nostro socio a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento.
Dopo qualche anno dalle prime celebrazioni, in occasione del centesimo anniversario dalla morte di Magretti (2013), venne riattivato il comitato promotore padernese per realizzare una seconda serie di eventi che, anche in questo caso, riaccesero l’interesse sul nostro personaggio, soprattutto da parte delle scuole del territorio.
Oggi, a quasi vent’anni dall’inizio dell’indagine biografica, mi si dà l’opportunità di presentare ai soci della Società Italiana di Scienze Naturali i risultati attuali delle ricerche in atto, un cammino arricchito da moltissime preziose collaborazioni, ma che non posso ancora dichiarare concluso; al contrario, penso continuerà ancora per qualche tempo a riservarci molte piacevoli sorprese.
Primavera del 1817. Viaggio all’Isola d’Elba
Authors: Monti A cura di Ilaria
Published: November 2024

Il fascino dell’Isola d’Elba è indiscutibile. Il viaggiatore moderno, che passi di sfuggita o ci si soffermi a lungo, non può che rimanere colpito dalla sua bellezza, dalla sua natura prepotente, dalla sua storia. Quando si trovano descrizioni dell’Isola fatte da viaggiatori di più di duecento anni fa, possiamo solo farci trasportare dal racconto e ciascuno, con la propria immaginazione, provare a ripercorrere i passi dell’Autore in un’Elba ormai scomparsa. E questo ragazzo di ventuno anni, in pochi giorni di viaggio, ha saputo rappresentare perfettamente l’Isola di allora, il suo aspetto fisico, le caratteristiche del suo ambiente, la tipicità dei suoi abitanti.
L’Autore parla di vari aspetti dell’Isola: dall’entomologia all’archeologia, dalla botanica al folklore fino a quello che forse era il suo interesse del momento, la mineralogia, ed è per questo che a fronte di una traduzione dal francese da me eseguita, ho ritenuto doveroso affidarmi a esperti come l’archeologo Michelangelo Zecchini, il mineralogista Federico Pezzotta, il botanico Gabriele Galasso e l’entomologo Michele Zilioli. Ognuno di loro, per il proprio settore, non ha che potuto constatare e commentare l’importanza di questa scoperta per la storia dell’isola d’Elba.
In questo numero di Natura quindi, dopo la descrizione del manoscritto, i pareri degli esperti e la traduzione del testo dal francese, sono riprodotte – da pagina 39 – le immagini delle pagine del manoscritto in modo da poter apprezzare anche l’aspetto del documento nel suo insieme.
John’s realised eschatology as an expression of the wisdom of God
Authors: Creevey Paul J.
Published: November 2024

Wisdom has often been assigned as an attribute of God and links to Wisdom theology in the fourth Gospel that are well presented in scholarship by the works of Sharon Ringe, Elizabeth Johnson, Jörg Frey and Mary Coloe. Yet, John’s Gospel never uses the term Wisdom. So, what scriptural evidence can demonstrate that a Wisdom theology can be found in the fourth Gospel? What is clear in John’s Gospel is that there has been a move from an apocalyptic eschatology to one that is realised and sapiential. Hence, this article attempts to show that this change in eschatological outlook can be linked to the first century understanding of the figure of Wisdom, who had emerged as a divine figure that brought the heavenly into the earthly realm. This article uses a literary critical approach, utilising the Bible as the primary source along with key Johannine biblical scholars, to show that through the use of the attributes of Wisdom, the Johannine evangelist and the Johannine community have appropriated the key aspects of the female divine Sophia onto the notion of the divine Logos, who is in John synonymous with Jesus, the Nazarene. Using scriptural texts from both the First and Second Testaments about the notion of Wisdom and the work of key Johannine scholars, this article shows how John’s use of the concept of Logos, also ascribed to Wisdom in Wisdom 18:15, strongly parallels the attributes of divine Wisdom. This article argues that although John’s Gospel does not explicitly use the term Wisdom, the parallels between the biblical concept of divine Wisdom and divine Logos are numerous. Eternal life is a central concept in John’s Gospel and only found in the biblical Wisdom literature in association with divine Wisdom (Wis 5:5). This notion of immortality or eternal life in the book of Wisdom was the quality of life that Sophia offered the righteous (Wis 6:18; 8:17, 21) and became a central theme in the Johannine narrative, considering their experience of Jesus’ resurrection being now, rather than in the future (Jn 4:23; 5:25). The centrality of the wisdom of God was reflected in the figure of divine Wisdom, who was named in the First Testament literature as God’s incarnated envoy. However, in the Second Testament in the person of Jesus, John’s Gospel showed that the divine Logos is a manifestation of divine Wisdom’s all-powerful Word, finding a resting place in human history, imbuing its eschatology with a realised focus rather than a futuristic focus.Contribution: This article deals with the attribute of Wisdom as it is associated with the understanding of who God is. God has revealed God’s self in creation and through scripture, by the figure of divine Wisdom and the figure of the divine Logos. These two figures share many common attributes, of which one central feature is that of providing human beings with the opportunity to enter eternal life with the Divine One.

Authors: Musakuro Rhodrick N. , Gie Liiza
Published: November 2024

Background: The recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) significantly contributed to mental health issues globally, and South African higher education institutions (HEIs) experienced unique stressors, prompting the adoption of e-health tools for digital mental health services (DMHS).Objectives: The study aimed to determine factors that influence future intention to adopt e-health tools for DMHS based on the experiences of university staff during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa (SA).Method: A case study research design, complemented by a survey was employed to collect data from 348 respondents using a voluntary response sampling technique from one South African HEI. Data were analysed through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28 and it involved frequency distribution, descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.Results: The results showed that the perceived usefulness of e-health tools, user experience and satisfaction, post-COVID-19 delivery mode preference and ethical considerations are significant determinants that influence the future adoption of e-health tools for DMHS.Conclusion: The study provides human resources professionals, university management, mental health practitioners and policymakers with actionable insights into the key determinants of the future adoption of e-health tools for DMHS.Contribution: Theoretically, the study contributes to the limited body of knowledge on the determinants that influence future intention to adopt e-health tools for DMHS, particularly in the context of university staff experiences during COVID-19 within the South African HE context. Practically, the results provide actionable insights that can be used to inform and guide policy-making within South African HEIs.
Das geheimnisvolle Wort ‘Michtam’
Authors: Chia Philip S.
Published: November 2024

The mysterious word “Michtam”: The Hebrew word מִכְתָּם appears six times in the Hebrew Bible and it only occurs in the book of Psalms at the beginning of the chapter (16:1, 56:1, 57:1, 58:1, 59:1, 60:1). This Hebrew word has been understood differently. For instances, PONS Kompaktwörterbuch Althebräisch (2015) leaves it untranslated, while the other sources translate מִכְתָּם as inscription, prayer, or song. Two of the most notable Hebrew lexica, and Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT), state that the meaning of מִכְתָּם is unknown. Modern English Bible translations also differ in their translations of מִכְתָּם. Most English Bible translations transliterate this Hebrew word (like NIV, NASB, KJV, Berean Study Bible, Christian Standard Bible, American Standard Version, JPS Tanakh 1917, and HCSB), while the NLT, ESV, International Standard Version, and New Revised Standard Version leave מִכְתָּם untranslated. This article, therefore, seeks to decipher the Hebrew word מִכְתָּם within its literary context and provides textual criticism. This article limits its discussion to Origen’s Hexapla because the consistent translation of Greek Aquila and Greek Symmachus contributes to unveiling the meaning of מִכְתָּם.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The study employed a combination of biblical studies and linguistics. Thus, this article shows the application of a comparative linguistic approach to interpret the word מִכְתָּם.
Unveiling Preliminary Study of the Holocene Sedimentary Environments and Biofacies in Western of Al-Hammar Marsh, Southern Part of Iraq
Authors: Al-Sudani Khaleel , Mahdi Maher , Albadran Badir
Published: November 2024

Biofacies and sedimentary environment analyses were conducted across three sites west of Al-Hammar Marsh. Excavations were undertaken at different depths for a comprehensive study. The initial site was probed at 9 m depth, followed by the second site at 5 m, and the third site at 9 m. Subsequent examination of these samples aimed to unveil insights into grain size, fossil contents, and their respective ecological settings. The grain size analysis revealed three distinct sediment types: silt, sandy silt, and muddy sand. Additionally, fossil assemblages hinted at three primary biofacies. The first facies represented a fresh marsh-fluvial environment identified across all three sites at different depths. Specifically, this biofacies manifested from the surface to about 200 cm in site one, 50-150 cm in site two, and 50-250 cm in site three. The second biofacies indicated a shallow marine environment at depths ranging from 250 to 550 cm in site one, 200-300 cm in site two, and 300-650 cm in site three. Lastly, the third biofacies denoted a lagoon or tidal flat environment observed at 600-900 cm depths in site one, 300-500 cm in site two, and 700-900 cm in site three. Notably, the third biofacies in site three exhibited signs of influence from alkaline freshwater, particularly in the third location at a depth of 700-800 cm. This influence was attributed to a mixture of marine and freshwater species, including; Quinqueloculina candeiana, Quinqueloculina angulta, Cubicula fluminalis, and Melanoides tuberculate. Abundant occurrences of these species were noted in the silty clay lithology of this layer.
Industrial Assessment of Mudstone Deposits of Gercus Formation as a Raw Material for Bricks Industry in Erbil Governorate, Northern Iraq
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed , Hussain Amera
Published: November 2024

This paper evaluates the mudstone deposits' physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties and the possibility of use as a raw material to manufacture building bricks. Four sites are selected from the Gercus Formation in Shaqlawa district and the samples are tested. The mudstone samples are analyzed to define the grain size, Atterberg limits, chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics of the clay bricks. The grain size analysis of the mudstone samples showed they contained a high percentage of clay and silt and a low percentage of sand. The chemical analysis showed that silica (SiO2) was the major component in the mudstones. XRD analysis showed the presence of non-clay minerals i.e. calcite, quartz, albite and clay minerals of illite, palygorskite and chlorite. Raw samples of all studied sites were treated to prepare brick samples without addition, and others with 10% standard sand added. The results showed that the bricks prepared from the B to B10 and C to C10 stations have varying water absorption and compressive strength, while the efflorescence has light salts. All these properties are within the requirements of the Iraqi specification for brick manufacturing. The sample sites A, D, A10, and D10 are not compatible with the Iraqi standard in terms of absorption and compression.
Lineaments Mapping Using Shaded Relief Images Derived from Landsat-9 Imagery at Diyala Government, NE Iraq
Authors: Obaid Fadhil , Al-Ali Ali , Muhsin Suhail
Published: November 2024

The Landsat-9 satellite images with a 30 m resolution at Diyala government was evaluated using the shaded relief technique to extract and map the surface lineaments. The processing of the azimuth and latitude method results in four shaded images (315\45, 200\50, 50\90, and 110\60). The optimal shaded relief (110\60) was used to extract the lineaments using the manual process. The results indicated that the primary structural trend of the lineaments was in the NW-SE direction, with a minor presence of NE-SW trends. It can be concluded that these structures are closely associated with the Makhoul-Hamrin trend in the Low Folded Zone (LFZ) influenced by the prevailing tectonic regime. In contrast, the lineaments structural trend of NE-SW would result from the neotectonics regime that linked to the listric fault system. On the other hand, the southeastern part of the study area shows no surface features due to the stress of the tectonic regime that affected the Tertiary deposits.

Published: November 2024

Os sistemas hidráulicos de potência estão entre as tecnologias mais usadas na indústria siderúrgica, metal-mecânica, automobilística, aeronáutica, plástico, entre outras. Não obstante suas diversas características técnicas que a diferenciam e favoreçam seu emprego nas mais variadas aplicações, a eficiência energética dos sistemas hidráulicos pode ser baixa, quando comparada com outras tecnologias, especialmente em circuitos mais complexos, com vários atuadores e que necessitam de um controle mais rigoroso de movimento. A hidráulica descentralizada tem sido explorada com mais destaque nos últimos anos devido a possibilidade do controle de atuadores de forma independente. Com esse princípio de solução, tem-se alcançado melhorias expressivas na eficiência dos sistemas, contudo, o nível de complexidade do sistema de controle e a quantidade de componentes requeridos continua elevada. Nesse âmbito, o presente trabalho busca analisar uma solução que permita controlar circuitos com diversos atuadores concomitantemente, mantendo uma boa eficiência global do sistema hidráulico, porém, empregando um circuito de comando mais simples, de menor custo e com menor quantidade de componentes.

Authors:   Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Rahmadhani Dimas Ibnu , Maryam Maryam
Published: November 2024

The industrialized world has undergone significant changes thanks to technological developments. One example of the utilization of technological advances is in the buying and selling system. In the operation of the Faafoo shop, the seller still uses a manual system in transactions, namely by using a calculator as a payment calculation. The transaction process can be done quickly and accurately to save time and reduce the risk of errors by using a Point of Sale (POS) system. The POS system is built using the Laravel framework and implements Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with customers. POS system development uses the Agile Method which has the advantage of being adaptable and flexible to changing user needs and uses Black Box Testing and Usability Testing with the System Usability Scale (SUS) method for system testing. The results of blackbox testing show that the system is able to meet all the requirements set and function correctly. In addition, the results of the SUS (System Usability Scale) test which obtained a final score of 75.5 showed that the system received an "acceptable" category, further confirming that the system has been designed and runs as expected. These two test results together provide strong support for the view that the system has been well developed and implemented.

Todas realizavam o preparo da refeição e a limpeza da cozinha (100%) e 64% participaram de capacitação nos últimos 6 meses. As respostas corretas antes e após a capacitação variaram entre 72% e 84,7%. Verificou-se aumento do nível de conhecimento após o treinamento dos temas: higienização das mãos (64%-100%), higienização de folhosos (40%-100%), descongelamento dos alimentos (56%-100%) e higienização do ambiente. Os resultados demonstraram que as manipuladoras apresentaram conhecimento acerca das Boas Práticas de Manipulação contudo, notou-se que a atuação prática divergiu desses conhecimentos adquiridos, havendo necessidade de maior conscentização entre as colaboradoras quanto ao cumprimento da legislação e, consequentemente, garantia de saúde dos escolares.
Римская Империя и христианство в IV в.
Authors: А.Б. Егоров
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается общее положение христианской Церкви в IV столетии и кратко обозначаются дальнейшие пути развития церковной истории на Западе и на Востоке. Сначала внимание уделяется гонениям Диоклетиана, которые в начале IV в. охватили всю империю. После 313 г. Церковь получает от св. императора Константина значительную поддержку, усилившуюся после 324 г. Дальнейшая история христианства тесно связана с внутриполитическими особенностями развития государства и сопровождается масштабными теологическими спорами, приведшими к созыву в IV в. двух Вселенских Соборов. Примечательно, что разные пути развития Востока и Запада намечаются уже в IV и даже в III в. по Р. Х. На Востоке империя сохранила сильную императорскую власть. Император обладал абсолютной властью, а античная концепция обожествленного монарха сменилась христианской идеей «помазанника Божия». Политическая ситуация на Западе определила и особенности западной Церкви. Римская Церковь уже в начале IV в. была бесспорным лидером западных Церквей, которые получали от нее указания и распоряжения. Этим и другим вопросам посвящена данная статья.

The article examines the general situation of the Christian Church in the 4th century and briefly outlines the further development of Church history in the West and the East. First, attention is paid to the persecutions of Diocletian, which in early 4th century covered the entire empire. After 313, the Church received significant support from St. Emperor Constantine, which intensified after 324. The further history of Christianity is closely connected with the internal political features of state development and is accompanied by large-scale theological disputes, which led to the convening in the 4th century of two Ecumenical Councils. It is noteworthy that different paths of development of the East and the West were outlined already in the 4th and even in the 3rd century AD. In the East, the empire retained strong imperial power. The emperor had absolute power, and the ancient concept of a deified monarch was replaced by the Christian idea of “the God’s Anointed”. Political situation in the West also determined the characteristics of the Western Church. The Roman Church, already in early 4th century, was the undisputed leader of the Western Churches, which received its instructions and orders. The present article is devoted to these and other issues.

This study used the systematic literature review to investigate legal policies governing inclusive schools in Physical Education (PE). Particularly, it focused on identifying challenges related to human resources and infrastructure in supporting students with special needs. Data were obtained from articles searched through Google Scholar. The search was conducted in September 2024 using keywords: "Legal policy OR policy analysis AND implementation OR application AND inclusive schools OR inclusive education AND Physical Education OR PE AND challenges OR obstacles AND human resources OR HR AND facilities OR infrastructure AND students with special needs OR special needs students". During the search, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. For example, the search focused on articles published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2019 and 2024. From this initial search, 17,300 articles were found. Furthermore, they were screened again in several stages, and 16 articles that fit the theme and met the inclusion requirements were yielded. During the article selection, this study followed the PRISMA guidelines. The results showed that the main challenges in governing inclusive schools in PE lie in human resources and infrastructure. In addition, the readiness and competence of teachers were greatly affected by the lack of adequate training in dealing with students with special needs. Thus, comprehensive ongoing training is needed to enhance teachers’ pedagogical skills, curriculum adaptation, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Although there were policies that support inclusion, their implementation in PE is still suboptimal, requiring strengthening of the curriculum and resources. Another challenge was the lack of supportive infrastructure, especially in terms of physical accessibility and specialized facilities. In conclusion, a combination of strong policies, teacher training, infrastructure improvements, adaptive teaching strategies, and stakeholder collaboration is needed to create effective, inclusive learning environments.

This study used the systematic literature review to review strategies to increase physical activity in elementary school children in the digital era to support a healthy lifestyle. Data were obtained from articles searched through Google Scholar. The search was conducted in September 2024 using the keywords: "Physical Activity Promotion" AND "Elementary School" AND "Healthy Lifestyle". During the search, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. For example, the search focused on articles published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2019 and 2024. From this initial search, 551 articles were found. Furthermore, they were screened again in several stages, and 16 articles that fit the theme and met the inclusion requirements were yielded. During the article selection, this study followed the PRISMA guidelines. The findings of this study confirmed the importance of appropriate strategies to increase the physical activity of elementary school students in the digital era to support a healthy lifestyle. The use of technology in the form of fitness apps, exergames, and wearable devices was proven effective in motivating children to be physically active. These technologies not only serve as support tools but also as powerful motivators that offer tracking and feedback that can encourage children to engage in physical activity more actively. In addition, more interactive approaches in schools, such as the Sport Education Model (SEM) and Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR), have shown significant increases in student participation, resulting in a sustainable impact on daily physical activity habits. This study also reported that family support was very important in increasing children's physical activity. By engaging the whole family in physical activities, whether through shared outdoor activities or fitness apps, an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle is created. In addition, training teachers to utilize technology in physical learning can strengthen the implementation of strategies in schools, creating a more supportive and enjoyable environment for students.
