Authors: Cruz Adriana Santos Santana da
Published: May 2024

Neste artigo, busco compreender os impactos da epidemia de Covid-19 na vida cotidiana e no processo de ensino e aprendizagem das pessoas de baixa renda nas cidades de Camaçari e de Lauro de Freitas, região metropolitana de Salvador (Bahia/Brasil). Através da observação, da vivência, da análise de fontes e do referencial teórico procuramos observar as ações dos diversos indivíduos frente aos desafios impostos pela doença, principalmente nos aspectos socioeconômico e educacional. Desde o aparecimento da enfermidade, discussões, ainda que prematuras, já apontavam a agressividade e o impacto dela na vida das populações pobres e periféricas. Passado o momento crítico da epidemia, essas análises se confirmaram, e entender suas causas é imprescindível para tentar amenizar suas consequências na vida do contingente populacional mais atingido – pretos, pobres e periféricos. São as consequências e as respostas dadas por esses sujeitos que procuramos identificar neste trabalho.

BACKGROUND
We examined the feasibility of assessing and referring adults successfully completing TB treatment for comorbidities, risk determinants and disability in health facilities in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

METHODS
This
was a cross-sectional study within national TB programmes.

RESULTS
Health workers assessed 1,063 patients (78% of eligible) in a median of 22 min [IQR 16–35] and found it useful and feasible to accomplish in addition to other responsibilities.
For comorbidities, 476 (44%) had HIV co-infection, 172 (16%) had high blood pressure (newly detected in 124), 43 (4%) had mental health disorders (newly detected in 33) and 36 (3%) had diabetes mellitus. The most common risk determinants were ‘probable alcohol dependence’ (15%)
and malnutrition (14%). Disability, defined as walking <400 m in 6 min, was found in 151/882 (17%). Overall, 763 (72%) patients had at least one comorbidity, risk determinant and/or disability. At least two-thirds of eligible patients were referred for care, although 80% of those with disability
needed referral outside their original health facility.

CONCLUSIONS
Seven in 10 patients completing TB treatment had at least one comorbidity, risk determinant and/or disability. This emphasises the need for offering early patient-centred
care, including pulmonary rehabilitation, to improve quality of life, reduce TB recurrence and increase long-term survival.

Published: May 2024

Diversos estudos têm sido feitos com o objetivo de substituir o clínquer por outros elementos que tornem o cimento mais sustentável, com a redução das emissões de CO2 e do consumo de energia utilizando materiais cimentícios suplementares. Os resíduos provenientes de fábrica de celulose, a lama de cal, o lodo orgânico da estação de tratamento de efluentes, o resíduo celulósico e a cinza de caldeira (cinza volante), têm sido estudados como alternativas de materiais cimentícios suplementares. Este trabalho avaliou o potencial do uso da lama de cal e da cinza volante, provenientes de resíduos de celulose da Amazônia, para uso em materiais cimentícios, usando técnicas de caracterização para essa finalidade. A cinza volante, em estudo, é constituída por quartzo (SiO2), calcita (CaCO3) e bassanita (CaSO4.1/2H2O), enquanto que na lama de cal, em estudo, predomina a calcita. A composição química da cinza volante apresentou uma alta concentração de SiO2 (32,66%), e óxidos importantes no processo para obtenção de materiais cimentícios, como Al2O3 (14,99%), Fe2O3 (6,38%) e CaO (15,52%), cuja somatória desses óxidos é igual a 54,03%, portanto, superior a 50% comprovando o potencial pozolânico da cinza volante. A lama de cal mostra teor maioritário de CaO (48,80%) e elevada perda ao fogo (41,51%). A cinza volante pode ser considerada material pozolânico, pois seu índice de atividade pozolânica alcançou 90%, enquanto que a lama de cal pode ser considerada material carbonático pois apresenta teor de carbonato de cálcio igual a 87,14%. A cinza volante apresenta massa específica igual a 2,59 g/cm3, enquanto a da lama de cal é igual a 2,68 g/cm3.Esses materiais sofrem diversos eventos térmicos das fases observadas por DRX sendo principalmente a decomposição de carbonatos e sulfatos para fases estáveis de cálcio. Analisando-se os resultados dos estudos, pode-se inferir que os materiais apresentam potencial para uso como adições minerais para misturas cimentícias.

Skilling for the Future: Enhancing Vocational Learning and Workplace Productivity with Creative AI Tools
Authors: Scerri Daren
Published: May 2024

Generative AI (GAI) tools have recently triggered an unprecedented disruption in the industry and education sectors, with both positive and negative effects requiring investigation. Several studies have already observed how the advanced language and dialogue capabilities (GPT3/4, LLaMA, Bard etc.), visual creativity (MidJourney), and GAI’s ability to adapt to diﬀerent scenarios is already impacting work processes within ﬁelds like customer care, marketing, and software development. This constructivist grounded theory study uses IT vocational education and industry as an example to understand the impact, concerns, and current practices of GAI, leading to propositions for correct and eﬀective use of GAI tools for learning. A group of students were assigned a Python project and were encouraged to use Chat-GPT 3.5 to assist them. Using these student-AI dialogues as sample cases, primary data was then collected through interviews with education/industry experts and students engaged in work-based learning. Interviews were progressively coded and analysed, with emerging theory suggesting that GAI tools are indeed revolutionising IT education and industry. Acting as advanced assistants, these tools facilitate lexically ﬂexible conversations across diverse linguistic styles, igniting concerns regarding potential misuse. While these tools usher in enhanced accessibility and a personalized learning trajectory, it is suggested that adapting curriculum and assessment policies, fostering self-discipline, and nurturing maturity are pivotal to steering their appropriate usage. Ensuring fruitful and correct use still necessitates human intelligence with expert validation, especially in tackling large projects and addressing specialized industry-speciﬁc challenges.

Authors: Melo Nedilson José Gomes de , Guerra Avaetê by Lunetta and Rodrigues
Published: May 2024

The growing demand for more sustainable buildings, and the effectiveness in the execution of civil construction projects, give rise to the relevance of making due use of technology to increase construction work. Building Information Modeling (BIM) creates and uses the compressed computational data of a building project. This parametric knowledge is common in the work for risk management, document formulation, performance anticipation, cost estimation, problem solving and idealization. The problem question of the work was: “How can civil construction companies apply strategies through the BIM tool to reduce environmental impacts in the construction of buildings?”. The following general objective is to analyze the BIM tool applied to sustainability in the construction of buildings. This work was a bibliographic review. To define the work step by step, we used Bryman's recommendation (2008), which advises starting by understanding the topic, choosing information sources, data collection, data analysis, interpretation and proposal, and finally , result. Finally, it is worth highlighting that the use of BIM should not be considered a simple method of adopting a development model, but rather it is a multidisciplinary tool intended to correlate and enhance complex sectors in the design of sustainable engineering projects. .

Published: May 2024

The growing demand for food has contributed to the increase in plastic waste, mainly from packaging. In 2020, only 23.1% of post-consumer plastic waste was recycled in Brazil, resulting in a significant amount of non-biodegradable waste that remains in the environment for long periods, affecting human health and the environment. Most of this waste comes from traditional petroleum-based food packaging, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene. It is estimated that annually, 31.9 million tons of plastic waste enter the environment, with a considerable portion contaminating the oceans. Despite these environmental challenges, the expectation is that the demand for plastics will continue to grow to meet society's efficient resource needs (FERREIRA et al., 2022).

Carl Schmitt and his legal support relationship with Nazism
Authors: Machado Caroline , Kuroski Fernanda
Published: May 2024

This study will address the life and work of Carl Schmitt, highlighting his legal theory, his relationship with the Nazi regime and the impact of his ideas on the process of Nazification of German law. Schmitt was a controversial thinker of the 20th century, whose legal reflection was intertwined with his political ideas and the historical context of his time. His theory of decisionism established a direct correlation between Law and Sovereignty, questioning formal normativism and liberalism. Despite being criticized for his affiliation with the Nazi party in 1933, his legal work is considered profound and coherent, deserving scientific study independent of ideologies. During the Weimar Republic, Schmitt feared the crisis and fragmentation of the German State and defended exceptional powers for the President of the Reich. The rise of the Nazis to power surprised him, but he tried to realize his constitutional theory of the "Total State", which ended up influencing the Nazification of law. The use of general clauses and vague concepts allowed the interpretation of norms in accordance with the Nazi worldview. Schmitt argued that judges should fill out the content of the clauses in accordance with the Führer's vision, aligning the courts' actions with the interests of the German people. Schmitt's relationship with the Nazi regime was ambiguous, oscillating between moments of support and distrust of Hitler. The work highlights the importance of historical contextualization to understand Schmitt's reflections and the impact of his ideas on the application of law during the Nazi period. The research seeks to offer a critical and independent analysis, aiming to deepen the understanding of the thinker and his legacy, which still resonate in contemporary debates on law and politics.

Published: May 2024

Vocational technical education is one of the fundamental pillars that governs the educational system, its strengthening is a task assumed by the Ministry of Education through the implementation of the National Vocational Technical Training Policy put into practice through the National Training Strategy Professional Technician. There are multiple challenges involved in carrying out actions to promote and generate instances of participation and decision-making that enable the involvement of all actors to articulate the educational system and economic development. In this sense, professional technical high schools with a specialty in early childhood care assume a strategic and predominant role in the educational sector, since the young people who study the specialty put into practice what they have learned in classrooms and workshops, allowing them to be effectively inserted in the world of work, access their professional practice and enter higher education. And, in most cases, be an agent of change at the family level to socioeconomically improve the reality of their homes. For this reason, Chile needs to have mid-level nursery care technicians who will allow it to address the challenges of its own development and its growing participation in the preschool care system, with demands of greater added value, dynamic and challenging. In this scenario, alternation training will not only strengthen the specific technical skills of the specialty, but also the capacity for innovation, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and a set of transversal skills that will prepare students to perform in multiple areas of education. .
National identity and cultural celebrations - Case study
Authors: García Antonio Delgado
Published: May 2024

We start from the assumption that in several Latin American republics there is a previously constructed national identity, which has been reinforced in the cultural celebrations of both the Centenary and the more recent Bicentenary, carried out by the political activity of the government in power. The starting hypothesis is that the political-cultural discourse of cultural celebrations responds to official ideology, aiming to reinforce national identity, adapting it to a new socio-historical context. And how these celebrations have served to further reinforce this national identity, in accordance with the purposes and positions of the official agenda. If we focus on the case study of Mexico's political community, we can see how throughout two key moments in its history, Independence, the Mexican Revolution and their respective acts and cultural demands, a discourse and a reform of this national identity , which consolidated the national project of identity characteristics as a whole, but a constructed whole, not something immanent and previous created, but rather it is the people through their historical path that creates, configures and gives color to this entire set of cultural elements or ingredients that constitute its identity as a people and as a nation. We try to answer what was done during the bicentennial and why it was done that way. To understand how the political-cultural discourse of the bicentennials in its context and purposes, explains and lists its main identity traits in the form of a catalogue.

Published: May 2024

Waste management in Brazil is guided by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) (IBAMA, 2022). The PNRS foresees the elimination of landfills and the disposal of urban solid waste (MSW) in landfills only when there is no potential for reuse, including recycling and reverse logistics (BONJARDIM; PEREIRA; GUARDABASSIO, 2018, p. 315). Organic solid waste (RS) can be transformed into fertilizers (ARAÚJO; CERQUEIRA; CARNEIRO, 2020), and inadequate disposal can cause sanitary and environmental problems (HECK et al., 2013). MSW is classified by Law No. 12,305/2010 (BRASIL, 2010) into household waste (RDO) and public waste (RPU). In this study, RS was classified as wet solid household waste (RSDU) and UPR, according to SNIS (2022). Composting, a natural process of degradation of organic matter, is currently used to manage organic RS, using techniques to accelerate decomposition and produce organic compounds of social interest (CRIVELARO; MOREIRA; DA SILVA, 2018, p. 91). This study hypothesized that the implementation of a composting yard at the University of Sorocaba is viable, both technically and economically, to manage part of the RS generated at the Campus Cidade Universitária Prof. Aldo Vannucchi. The objective was to develop an operational pilot project for an organic RS composting yard for the university, identifying sources of organic RS (RSDU and RPU), adapting a methodology for composting, determining performance indicators and carrying out a cost analysis of the project.

This study investigates the impact of preoperative nutritional therapy on the prognosis of patients undergoing surgical procedures. The growing evidence on the relationship between nutritional status prior to surgery and postoperative outcomes highlights the relevance of specific nutritional strategies as an integral part of perioperative care. The literature review covers clinical studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, aiming to understand the benefits of preoperative nutritional therapy. Compiled results reveal positive associations between improved nutritional status prior to surgery and reduced postoperative complications, including infections, length of stay and faster recovery. The analysis highlights the importance of individualized approaches, considering the specific nutritional needs of each patient and the type of surgical procedure. Furthermore, the mechanisms through which nutritional therapy can modulate the immune response, reduce oxidative stress and promote healing are discussed, positively impacting the postoperative course. Although limitations, such as variability in nutritional therapy protocols and definition of outcomes, are recognized, the results suggest that optimizing preoperative nutritional status may represent an effective strategy in improving surgical prognosis.

Broad-spectrum anticancer treatments have limited cell selectivity. The sites of action of these treatments are targeted at blocking cell division and inducing apoptosis. This has a negative impact on the viability and proliferation of healthy cells, which can cause deterioration in the patient's quality of life. In this case report, an older patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, follicular pattern grade 2 with invasion to the L3 vertebra, concluded a combination chemotherapy regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP). However, the patient reported severe and prolonged adverse reactions that caused physical and emotional complaints, thus she refused to continue with the subsequent radiotherapy. Given the impact on quality of life and uncertain survival, by personal decision, the patient started compassionate therapy based on chlorine dioxide (ClO2). This low-cost anticancer agent causes apoptosis in cancer cells by destabilizing the oxidative balance through the release of reactive oxygen species. ClO2 treatment was administered orally and by enema at a concentration below the EPA-reported toxicity threshold, in order to not compromise healthy cells, given that they do not experience the high levels of oxidative stress of cancer cells. During ClO2 treatment, the patient reported no adverse reactions and an increase in bone density was observed in pathological terrain. Rigorous clinical studies are needed to analyze the temporal sequence of the increase in bone density

The study focuses on the therapeutic action of medicinal plants used in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases. The ethanolic extract of the Mexican species Cecropia obtusifolia Bertol, traditionally used for diabetes, was evaluated. The cytoprotective effect was determined on the normal adherent human fibroblast cell line Hs68, and its toxicity was assessed on Artemia salina. The cytoprotective effect was determined using the neutral red (NR) assay, demonstrating a viability of 98 %, indicating a very low cytotoxic effect and no toxicity on A. salina. These assays have been routinely employed as screening methods for natural extracts and pure compounds with potential therapeutic effects against cancer

ABSTRAK Gagasan 1Malaysia diperkenalkan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak pada April 2009 bertujuan mengukuhkan perpaduan kaum sebagai asas keharmonian dan keamanan negara. Namun untuk mencapai hasrat murni tersebut, kerjasama dan penyertaan masyarakat amat perlu terutama golongan belia yang merupakan generasi pewaris pemimpin negara pada masa akan datang. Tanggapan yang salah terhadap konsep Gagasan 1Malaysia pasti menghalang negara mencapai kejayaan. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti persepsi dan penerimaan belia di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah terhadap Gagasan 1Malaysia. Responden kajian adalah seramai 391 orang yang berumur 18 hingga 40 tahun yang terdiri daripada pelbagai etnik seperti Cina, Bajau, Kadazan Dusun, Bumiputra, lain (etnik-etnik minority), Melayu, Murut, India dan lain-lain. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa majoriti responden mempunyai tahap persepsi positif terhadap Gagasan 1Malaysia (90%). Sementara itu, tahap penerimaan belia terhadap Gagasan 1Malaysia adalah sederhana (95.7%). Di samping itu, kajian juga mendapati terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara faktor kaum tentang persepsi belia terhadap Gagasan 1Malaysia manakala tiada perbezaan yang signifikan antara faktor kaum tentang penerimaan belia terhadap Gagasan 1Malaysia. Ternyata tahap penerimaan belia pada tahap kurang memuaskan dan boleh menjejaskan kejayaan Gagasan 1Malaysia yang dianggap sebagai wadah penyatupaduan nasional.

ABSTRAK Kajian ini merupakan satu kajian etnografi bertujuan memahami makna kemiskinan daripada perspektif gender dalam kalangan belia di Lembah Bujang, Kedah. Objektif utama kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji konsep “kemiskinan” daripada perspektif informan. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan kaedah kajian lapangan. Seramai 20 orang informan yang dikategorikan sebagai miskin yang terdiri daripada 10 orang ketua isi rumah lelaki dan 10 orang ketua isi rumah wanita telah ditemubual secara mendalam. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa lelaki dan wanita mempunyai makna kemiskinan yang berbeza, malah ia juga berbeza di antara wanita dengan wanita yang lain. Perbezaan makna kemiskinan daripada perspektif informan itu sendiri sekaligus memperlihatkan perbezaan bentuk-bentuk kemiskinan yang dihadapi mereka. Oleh itu, pembentukan dasar dan program pembasmian kemiskinan perlu menggunakan pendekatan yang sensitif gender agar program yang dilaksanakan mampu untuk memenuhi keperluan keluarga miskin yang diketuai oleh isi rumah lelaki dan wanita.
