Intersectionality in childhood: examining the complexities
Authors: Macêdo Maurides , De Miranda Marcela Ferreira Souza , Cavalcante Jéssica Painkow Rosa
Published: January 2024

This article addresses the condition of the rights of children and adolescents in Brazil, emphasizing that despite the progress made after the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution, there is still a permanent subordination of these groups to unequal power relations. Despite the rights acquired through extensive social and political movements, there is a persistent demeaning that subjects them to objectifying relationships. The study aims to expand this analysis by investigating other forms of inequality that impact children and adolescents, with special attention to variables of race and socio-economic strata. However, a significant challenge in this research is to avoid the generalization of experiences, taking into account the regional particularities and specific contexts of these groups. The simplification of these experiences may result in a superficial analysis, incapable of capturing the complexity of intersections between race, socio-economic strata, and other identities. The objective is to achieve a deeper and contextualized understanding of the interrelations that impact the lives and rights of these young individuals in Brazil.
Stability analysis and evaluation of a highway slope in the high and cold mountain area and suggestions for prevention and control
Authors: Zhang Yinbo
Published: January 2024

In order to ensure the stability of a rocky slope on a highway in a high cold mountainous area, this paper evaluates the stability of the right high slope in the section from K155+320 to K155+460 using the Chi Ping projection method and the fuzzy evaluation method based on game theory-cloudified object model. Firstly, the geological, geomorphological, hydrological and other natural profile information of the slope is obtained through field investigation, and these indicators are transformed into evaluation indicators for qualitative evaluation using the Chi Ping projection method. Then, the fuzzy evaluation method based on game theory-cloudified object model is used to transform the qualitative evaluation results into quantitative data, taking into account the mutual influence between different factors. The results show that the results obtained by the two evaluation methods are consistent. Finally, based on the stability analysis and evaluation results, it is proposed to use the method of clearing the surface dangerous rocks and applying active protective nets to deal with the slope problem in that area. At the same time, the slope stability analysis and evaluation method and the prevention and control suggestions provide reference for the subsequent slope governance.

IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIONS BY MICRO-, SMALL- AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES IN CRISIS SITUATIONS – IN THE LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Sipa Monika
Published: January 2024

Crisis situations vary in their underlying causes and scope of impact. The crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to numerous changes in the economies and businesses operating within them. This paper presents findings from a study conducted among Polish businesses in the SMB sector. The study comprised a survey of 1090 micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises, spanning the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion primarily centers on analyzing the study results related to the implementation of innovations in businesses. The main objective of the paper was to identify the specific characteristics of the innovative activities undertaken by micro-, small, and medium-sized entities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and the associated restrictions. The analysis focused on the goals of innovation implementation, the planning process, as well as the types and scope of impact of the innovations. The research aimed to discern variations based on organizational size, the duration of operation in the market, the education of the person managing the organization, and the level of revenue obtained. The survey findings indicate that over half of the businesses surveyed implemented innovations, primarily in the form of product and process innovations relevant to their respective organizations. The majority of businesses reported long-term planning of innovations. However, the proportion of innovative businesses decreased with the size of the business. Regardless of organizational size, the primary aim of innovation implementation was to introduce new products. The proportion of entities implementing innovations was higher in businesses that achieved revenue at a similar or lower level compared to the previous year and operated in the market for a shorter period.

Published: January 2024

The development of Emotional Intelligence (EI) improves a person's performance in different situations and offers a variety of possible solutions to various challenges, which have become more difficult with the emergence of COVID-19. Self-esteem, on the other hand, plays an important role in the formation of the adolescent because it will enable him/her to know who approves or disapproves of him/her, and this rating will influence the adolescent's personality and efforts. Under this premise, through a basic research, quantitative approach, non-experimental and cross-sectional design, descriptive and correlational, the objective was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem in adolescents of basic education in the rural sector of the Peruvian highlands. The results were (Rho=0,818), a value of P=0,010, in a population of 85 adolescent students in the fourth and fifth grades of secondary education. It is concluded that there is a correlation between the variables. In addition, the findings indicate 32 % poorly developed intrapersonal emotional intelligence, 34 % poorly developed stress management, 7 % markedly low intrapersonal intelligence, 6 % markedly low interpersonal intelligence, 7 % markedly low stress management. To help students with poorly developed levels, it is recommended to implement induction programs and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: anamnesis is an initial step of the clinical reasoning process, which is taught throughout interviews to real or simulated patients. Its evaluation through OSCEs is widely disseminated, and in the context of a pandemic, the OSCE was adapted to be administered online. Objective: to compare the levels of achievement in anamnesis skills of two cohorts of medical students in formative OSCEs of semiology in on-site and online modality. Methods: using a blueprint established in 2017 and implemented for three years, competencies were identified that could be trained and evaluated online in third-year medical students. Telesimulations were performed with role play for anamnesis ability. Guided by a tutor, each student participated in 10 telesimulated anamnesis with peer roleplay and one anamnesis with a simulated pacientent. All of it in groups of 6 students. A formative TeleOSCE was implemented, evaluating the same skills of the year 2019 in a face-to-face training instance. In 2019 and 2020, 92 and 91 students participated respectively. The students' performance was compared in three identical scenarios. Results: at the cough, acute diarrhea, and knee pain screening scenarios, students in the 2020 cohort performed better than those in the 2019 cohort (p<0,001). Conclusions: for the development of anamnesis skill in third-year medical students, telesimulation-based teaching allows students to demonstrate adequate performance on a practical assessment administered online via TeleOSCE.

Algae4IBD Project: Are algae the solution for inflammatory bowel disease

The Algae4IBD project seeks effective treatments for a chronic disease affecting 6.8 million people. Juan F. Samaniego explores whether algae are the definitive solution for inflammatory bowel diseases. From huge kelps to invisible microalgae, algae are rich in active compounds that are potentially good for our health. However, the process of extracting and transforming them into foods and medicines that can be used on a large scale remains full of challenges. Wind and water carve the landscape of Brittany, a French region known for its wild nature, steep cliffs, and long, unspoiled beaches. Vegetation is scarce in such a rugged land, but Brittany tells a different story underwater. The east coast of the Celtic Sea, which stretches to Ireland, hosts one of the most extensive kelp forests in Europe.

Permafrost grown: Investigating permafrost-agriculture interactions in Alaska

Here, we learn about Dr. Melissa Ward Jones, who leads a transdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, co-producing knowledge with farmers to understand these unique agricultural systems better. In 1908, a field was cleared for cultivation in Fairbanks, Alaska, at a U.S. Federal Agricultural Experiment Station (Pewe, 1954) that is now part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). Cultivated potatoes crops provided good yields, however, ten years after land clearing, the field began to sink down and mounds, up to 10 m in diameter and up to 2.5 m high, began to appear (Rockie, 1942). After repeated grading and land leveling, the mounds continued to be redeveloped, leading to the field’s abandonment sometime in the 1920s. Today, this area is a forested walking trail on the UAF campus, and the mounds remain (Figure 1).

MPOX: Research priorities for threat reduction

Concerted efforts are needed to close knowledge gaps around mpox to improve preparedness and response efforts for this neglected disease. Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a previously neglected re-emerging zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPV), genus Orthopoxvirus, family Poxviridae. This virus can cause severe illness in infected patients and is endemic in numerous countries across Central and West Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia, and others. However, in 2022, a global mpox outbreak led to the declaration of a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization, with more than 90,000 confirmed cases reported from non-endemic global regions. While swift responses to this outbreak helped reduce case trends across highly impacted regions by Fall 2022, including the distribution of vaccine and therapeutics to at-risk communities, as well as increased public awareness, ongoing outbreaks in endemic regions continue to have deleterious effects on public health.

Lessons from Libby: Understanding the impact of asbestos exposure

Jean C. Pfau, Scientific Consultant at the Center for Asbestos Related Disease, shares the devasting story of asbestos exposure occurring in a Rocky Mountain town of Montana and the critical lessons that can be learned from this event. Twenty years ago, Libby, Montana, became known as ‘the town left to die’ after a series of articles appeared in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer exposing asbestos-related deaths linked to one of the largest vermiculite mines in the world. The main product, Zonolite insulation, remains in millions of homes in North America. At that time, Libby was a mining and logging town, only six miles from the mining operations that, for decades, covered the town in dust containing unregulated asbestos. Because the asbestos-containing vermiculite was used in home insulation, gardens, playgrounds, and ball parks, everyone living, working, or visiting in the area was exposed to low, but deadly, levels of tiny needle-like (amphibole) fibers. Disproving the idea that unregulated asbestos does not cause disease, hundreds of people have suffered horrible deaths from lung diseases, cancers, and systemic autoimmune disease (SAID, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus) from exposure to the Libby Amphibole (LA).

Published: January 2024

The review summarizes the literatures which focus on the role of rhizosphere at soil fertility and availability nutrient. Most researchers agreed that the rhizosphere could important in mediating the interactions between plant roots, soil, and microorganisms. Soil fertility and efficient nutrient acquisition are vital factors governing plant growth and productivity. The review begins by examining the physical and chemical attributes of the rhizosphere that influence nutrient availability and uptake. It delves into the intricate mechanisms of nutrient release, mobilization, and uptake, elucidating the impact of root exudates, symbiotic associations, and mycorrhizal networks on nutrient cycling. Therefore, the majority of researchers established that the rhizosphere has an equalizing influence on annual/seasonal changes regarding soil heat, air, and water balance, the availability of plant nutrients, and consequently, crop yields. Additionally, increasing soil microbial diversity through the rhizosphere and activity is explored, shedding light on the crucial symbiotic relationships that develop between plants and microorganisms to support nutrient acquisition and soil health. Furthermore, the review assesses the responses of the rhizosphere to various environmental factors such as soil types, moisture levels, and temperature fluctuations, and how these factors influence nutrient dynamics and availability.
Strike A Balance Act on Topic Familiarity and Critical Thinking for Curriculum of First-Year Writing
Authors: Zhao Hongqin
Published: January 2024

The troubled Freshman EFL/ESL writing instruction needs a curricular framework to secure student transition and stabilize instruction to new learning of some writing knowledge in order for them to write with valuable ideas. Based on a longitudinal ethnographical case study of the classroom practice with a first-year English writing course, this article wrestles with the matter of topic familiarity and critical-thinking skills of argumentation. The discursive analysis of the instructional practice and the actual written texts from student writing assignments of paragraphs and short-essays recommends a freshman writing curriculum to act on critical classroom instruction with actual writing knowledge, yet to base it on topic familiarity. Because topic familiarity not only facilitates critical thinking of original facts or concrete evidence for new ideas in creating writing content, but also embraces students’ new learning with genre perspectives on techniques of typographical structures with argumentation mechanisms. This study obliges writing educators to strike a balance act on freshmen’s writing curriculum with topic familiarity and critical writing skills, not only to regulate instruction in preparing freshman students for writing penetrating essays, but also educating them to be critical future writers.

Published: January 2024

The big problem in tourism is how to provide appropriate preparations to serve tourists so that when the tourist season is low, resources can be saved and when the tourist season is busy, all resources can be provided effectively. Machine learning is a derivative branch of artificial intelligence, one of whose capabilities can be used to carry out data/dataset-based forecasting. This research uses a dataset obtained from GT from 2013-2023 with several keywords combining city names and tourist destination names in Yogyakarta Indonesia, then it will be compared with a dataset of tourist arrivals in the city of Yogyakarta obtained from the Central Statistics Agency. The Machine Learning model that will be used is Prophet Facebook.. This model uses a Bayessian as a backend algorithm. The results obtained from this research are that GTs can be used to predict tourist arrivals with some tweaks on the dataset. However, to get accurate results, various combinations of keywords are needed for the desired destination, and it is recommended to add some column namely max and mean to the dataset to prevent insufficiency of data of some keywords that make prediction result bad. In this research it can be concluded that the use of an additional max column can increase the COERR, MAPE and R2 values. Meanwhile, we found that the GT dataset can be used for forecasting best in time periods under 200 days. Also we found that using the GT dataset alone produces unstable COERR, MAPE and R2 values. Another finding is that the GT dataset that uses the YouTube filter is only suitable for use in Indonesia for the time period above 2018 considering that Indonesian people's access to YouTube has increased massively over that year and tends to decrease below that year. However, the trend shows that the use of searches on YouTube after 2018 tends to increase drastically, beating searches on the Google web.
