Published: June 2024

Currently, awakening students` interest in the subject is a problem of achieving results in the learning process. In the era of rapid development of information communication, gaming activity is of great importance for motor activity distracting them from gadgets and computers. The article considers the problem of increasing the cognitive outlook and interest of students in the subject of chemistry with the effective use of gaming technologies. The effectiveness of conducting a lesson with the help of gaming technologies lies in the fact that students easily study the topic and become more motivated for the lesson. Gaming technologies create a fun and creative atmosphere in the classroom. The article presents the didactic games in more detail, and an overview of some types of games was conducted. Theoretical and empirical, quantitative, and qualitative methods were used in the implementation of the research work. Control and experimental groups were selected and lessons were conducted using the traditional method and game technology. To determine the level of interest of students, a questionnaire method was used. In the lesson conducted based on traditional methods and didactic games, an increase in interest and understanding of the topic studies by students of the experimental group was found. During the task, the greatest activity and the motivation to understand chemical concepts and phenomena of the experimental group was observed compared with the control group. Didactic games allowed students to increase their interest in the subject, and describe concepts and phenomena in the process of completing the task. The game, combining mind and activity contributed to the easier and faster achievement of learning goals and the formation of personal qualities.

Authors: Musyoka Julie Mutindi , Cheloti Selpher K. , Kasivu Gideon M.
Published: June 2024

Teenage pregnancy remains a persistent global crisis that profoundly affects the socio-economic wellbeing of nations, citizens and families. It contributes to school dropout rates, lower academic achievements, early marriages, and decreased school attendance for female learners. The aim of the research was to investigate the relationship between Life Skills Education and teenage pregnancy in public secondary schools in Machakos County. This article is an extract of a study done in public secondary schools in Machakos County. The reviewed Literature was based on the research aims whereas the research was anchored on social learning theory postulated by Albert Bandura. The research utilized a descriptive survey research design. The research target population was 360 principals and 360 Heads of Department (HoDs) Guidance and Counseling (G&C),. The study gathered data from a sample of 189 schools comprising Boys only, Girls only and mixed schools. The participants of the study, who were proportionately sampled, included; principals and HODs G&C. Data were collected using questionnaires and document analysis. The Collected data was analyzed using SPSS software version 25. Descriptive analysis was done using frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion particularly the mean and standard deviation. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson’s’ correlation coefficient at the .05 level of significance. The study results revealed that teenage pregnancy was prevalent in Machakos County with an average of 173 cases recorded annually. Each school in the county also recorded at least 2 cases of teenage pregnancy yearly. The research findings revealed that there was also a positive and significant relationship between Life Skills Education and teenage pregnancy in public secondary schools in Machakos County (rp =.575 & rh = 0.414; p≤ .01). The study suggests that KICD should review the Life Skill Education syllabus to include content on sex education. In addition, the MOE should include LSE in teacher education as a learning area or infuse LSE in a specific subject combination so that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) posts teachers to teach LSE specifically and make it compulsory and examinable.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo realiza análise do fenômeno da democracia líquida, da pós-verdade e os efeitos das fake news no processo eleitoral brasileiro e suas interconexões com o direito à liberdade de expressão. Foi realizado uma pesquisa bibliográfica, combinando as reflexões elaboradas por Bauman (2001) e Levitsky e Ziblatt (2018) sobre o fenômeno da democracia líquida e os efeitos das fake news no processo eleitoral brasileiro. Na primeira sessão, realizou-se um recorte histórico do processo político-eleitoral brasileiro. Na segunda seção, refletiu-se sobre o conceito de democracia líquida e como as redes sociais e outros meios de comunicação contemporâneos podem interferir no posicionamento político das pessoas. Na terceira e última seção, buscou-se analisar como o direito constitucional e eleitoral brasileiro tem regulado o fenômeno da disseminação em massa de notícias falsas no processo eleitoral, já que esse tipo de fenômeno é capaz de interferir no processo eleitoral, eliminando a paridade de armas e o equilíbrio das candidaturas. Conclui-se que determinados atores sociais são capazes de tomar como verdade uma notícia falsa se não for verificado em tempo hábil, portanto, é necessário se estudar qual é o impacto sobre sua opinião pública e individual.

The Battle over Knowledge in Teacher Education: An Analysis of Knowledge Discourses in the Integrated Teacher Education Programs in Norway. Different forms of knowledge are at play in teacher education and there is an ongoing debate as to which form of knowledge should set the premises. Policy documents call for a more research-based teacher education close to practice and, therefore, integrated teacher education [ITE] programs have been established. This paper has aimed to explore different forms of knowledge that are formed in practice in the former and new national guidelines for the ITE programs in Norway, using Basil Bernstein’s concept of vertical and horizontal knowledge discourses. The findings indicate a change from the former guidelines, where most of the focus was on experience-based knowledge in practice, to where there is now more focus on research-based knowledge. Therefore, the article discusses the relation between researched-based and experience-based knowledge and the consequences for teacher education as a profession-orientated program when research-based knowledge takes the lead and experienced-based knowledge lags behind.

Exploring Economic and Ethical Challenges of Implementing Demand-Responsive Transport Systems (DRT) in Italy
Authors: Campisi Tiziana
Published: June 2024

In recent years, a change in demand trends has influenced the development of public passenger transport, causing a number of critical issues and consequences for the environment, the management policies of these services and, especially, the users. Various passenger transport services have evolved to reduce the use of private vehicles, including DRT systems that consider technological developments like Mobility ad a Service (MaaS). This article focuses on a European literature review on user-oriented research development. The overall objective is to: i) highlight, among all the critical aspects of service development, the factors influencing the economic and ethical aspects; ii) finally identify a discrepancy between the perception of DRT and the empirical research design. The study concludes by providing potential suggestions for improving DRT service deployment and reducing some of the factors influencing users' modal choices. Finally, the paper proposes implications for policy makers and operators.
Using U-Nets for Accurate R-Peak Detection in Fetal ECG Recordings
Authors: Zhou Peishan , So Stephen , Schwerin Belinda
Published: June 2024

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a promising approach for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring. Its morphology can provide information on fetal health to guide patient care by clinicians. However, fetal ECGs extracted from abdominal ECGs are often too weak to reliably detect fetal heart rate. This study evaluates the application of a U-Net architecture for accurate R-peak detection in low-SNR fetal ECG signals. The proposed method achieves high accuracy with a positive predictive value of 99.81%, sensitivity of 100.00%, and an F1-score of 99.91% on direct fetal ECG from the Abdominal and Direct ECG Database, with significantly reduced false predictions, and outperforming two other baseline methods compared with. Notably, our approach demonstrates robustness, accurately predicting peaks in regions of high distortion, a capability unmatched by other methods evaluated. This finding indicates the suitability and benefits of the U-Net architecture for peak detection in fetal ECG signals.
Gender Stereotypes in the Portrayal of Female Politicians in American Online Newspapers
Authors: Jonuzi Flaka
Published: June 2024

This study aims to examine the presence of gender stereotypes towards female politicians in American online newspapers. The focus is on gender stereotypes expressed through language use. The method used to investigate this phenomenon is a content analysis of 90 articles from three newspapers, namely The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Guardian US, posted from January 2019 to August 2020, towards three American politicians, namely: Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The results have shown that women in politics are portrayed with a strong stereotypical language as the three newspapers contained a substantial body of gender stereotypes towards them. Moreover, the results have revealed that females in politics are mainly depicted through descriptive words related to their personal lives, such as marital status, appearance, and family, rather than other career-related information which could be relevant to the context of the articles. As such, this research could easily find an application in many fields, including media studies, sociolinguistics, cultural studies, politics studies, and gender studies. Nevertheless, a larger scale study and further research on American newspapers and the inclusion of more female politicians is needed, in order to confirm that female politicians are portrayed stereotypically by media.

Music of the Soviet Era as Public History (Based on Materials of the Arzamas Website)
Authors:   Glazunov Petrozavodsk State Conservatoire, Kupets L.A.
Published: June 2024

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of Soviet music as presented in the Russian‐language educational project Arzamas (2015–2023). Posted in the public domain of the Internet, the materials on the Arzamas website fully fit into the interdisciplinary discourse of public history. In this article, the author selects and from the perspective of cultural recycling analyses an array of materials of the Soviet period presented on the website: from folk and Soviet mass songs, gypsy and classical romance (including romance in cinema) to jazz, symphony, ballet, and break dance. The article traces how the authors of different genre materials interpret selected works and the historical and cultural profiles of their creators from the point of view of postmodernity. Special attention is paid to the principles according to which the website forms a musical image of the Soviet period for the modern audience (which statistically consists of Millennials and, if taking into account the Arzamas Children’s Room, the next two generations — Z and Alpha). The author of this article makes a conclusion that what is meant by Soviet music in the Arzamas project is compositions created from the 1920s to the late 1960s (early 1970s) and listened to by different social groups. The dominant type of a musical composition is a song in various modifications. Soviet music (mostly non-academic) is treated as an integral part of the country’s history which emotionally accurately reflects political and cultural changes. In such a context academic music becomes a peripheral phenomenon: only two composers are highlighted — Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich — but shown as victims of the Soviet system.
Portrait Works by Olga Della-Vos-Kardovskaya in the Context of the Russian Art of the 1900s-1930s
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Manucharova D.A. ,   State Tretyakov Gallery
Published: June 2024

The article focuses on portrait works by Olga Della‐Vos‐Kardovskaya — from her first significant paintings in this genre (e.g. Portrait of Nikolay Gumilev, 1908, State Tretyakov Gallery) to the last ones dating back to the late 1930s. This aspect of the master’s activity has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive research. Meanwhile, there has been a growing interest in the creative work of Olga Della‐Vos‐Kardovskaya, which is evidenced by the fact that her paintings are presented at many major exhibitions in Russia. First of all, these include her portraits, which reflect various trends in the Russian fine art of the early 20th century and the Soviet art of the 1920s‐1930s. The author of this article suggests dividing Olga DellaVos‐Kardovskaya’s portraits into three main types: representative, chamber, and typified portraits. The last group includes a subtype — children’s portraits. The artist created portraits of the three types throughout her entire creative biography. This division allows defining the features of the master’s portraiture and considering her paintings and drawings in the context of art development in the first three decades of the 20th century. As a result, it is possible to draw a conclusion that despite radical changes in the country and in the artist’s life, her portraiture remained almost unchanged during the 1900s‐1930s. In comparison with the pre‐revolutionary period, in her later works there appeared new character types, but the representation principles and artistic techniques remain the same. The most striking differences are found in her children’s portraits, which in the pre‐revolutionary work of Della‐Vos‐Kardovskaya were associated with idealistic retrospective tasks (children were depicted in 19th‐century interiors, wearing old‐fashioned costumes) and became ideologically loaded in Soviet times.
Liturgy by Leonide Massine and Liturgy by Olga Tsvetkova: In Search of Historical and Cultural Dialogue
Authors:   Ivanovo State University, Vasenina E.V. ,   Moscow State Institute of Culture
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to studying the reasons for the historical and cultural connection between Leonide Massine’s unstaged ballet Liturgy, which was conceived by him together with Sergei Diaghilev, and the production of the Liturgy ballet shown in 2023 at the Zaryadye concert hall in Moscow. The creators of the new Liturgy ballet, choreographer Olga Tsvetkova and composer Sergei Akhunov, directly point to Massine’s Liturgy as a source of inspiration and highlight the personal need to reflect on the divine principle in art. The article cites a number of sources documenting the three‐year long staging process of Liturgy at the beginning of the 20th century (1914–1916), as well as the sources characterizing Leonid Massine’s creative style and the penchant for religious themes in his record of accomplishment as a choreographer. The issues of the sacred also concern Olga Tsvetkova, a contemporary Russian choreographer. The reason for her interest in the material of Liturgy may be connected with an attempt to understand the sources of inspiration and ethical selfregulation in the process of working with religious themes of artistic culture and establish the artistic reception with the Ballets Russes project.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This paper explores the mean-variance inefficiency of cap-weighted indices based on the CECE index as a benchmark. Methodology: For the period from March 2014 to September 2021, several proxies of efficient portfo-lios were estimated: the Global Minimum Variance (GMV) portfolio, the Maximum Sharpe Ratio (MSR) portfolio and the portfolio with equal weights of constituents (EW). Diversification of strategies was also considered by analyzing the performance of a portfolio consisting of GMV and MSR that were weighted equally. Based on monthly data, 90 out-of-sample estimations were made for each strategy in order to com-pare their risk-return characteristics. Furthermore, to confirm the differences in the riskiness and returns of the estimated portfolios, the F-test and the Welch test were performed, respectively. Results: The results show that all analyzed portfolios achieved superior performance compared to the CECE index with the GMV portfolio leading the way. Conclusion: Research findings highlight the importance of market development and liquidity when pursu-ing popular scientific diversification methods.
Observations of traveling ionospheric disturbances driven by gravity waves from sources in the upper and lower atmosphere
Authors: Prikryl Paul , Themens David R. , Chum Jaroslav , Chakraborty Shibaji , Gillies Robert G. , Weygand James M.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) are observed by the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN), the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR), the multipoint and multifrequency continuous Doppler sounders, and the GNSS total electron content (TEC) mapping technique. PFISR measures electron density altitude profiles, from which TIDs are obtained by a filtering method to remove background densities. SuperDARN observes the ionospheric convection at high latitudes and TIDs modulating the ground scatter power. The Doppler sounders at mid latitudes can determine TID propagation velocities and azimuths. The aim of this study is to attribute the observed TIDs to atmospheric gravity waves generated in the lower thermosphere at high latitudes, or gravity waves generated by mid-latitude tropospheric weather systems. The solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling modulates the dayside ionospheric convection and currents that generate gravity waves driving equatorward propagating medium to large scale TIDs. The horizontal equivalent ionospheric currents are estimated from the ground-based magnetometer data using an inversion technique. At high latitudes, TIDs observed in the detrended TEC maps are dominated by equatorward TIDs pointing to auroral sources. At mid to low latitudes, the azimuths of TIDs vary, indicating sources in the troposphere. The cases of eastward to southeastward propagating TIDs that are observed in the detrended TEC maps and by the HF Doppler sounders in Czechia are attributed to gravity waves that were likely generated by geostrophic adjustment processes and shear instability in the intensifying low-pressure systems.
DELWAVE 1.0: deep learning surrogate model of surface wave climate in the Adriatic Basin
Authors: Mlakar Peter , Ricchi Antonio , Carniel Sandro , Bonaldo Davide , Ličer Matjaž
Published: June 2024

Abstract. We propose a new point-prediction model, the DEep Learning WAVe Emulating model (DELWAVE), which successfully emulates the behaviour of a numerical surface ocean wave model (Simulating WAves Nearshore, SWAN) at a sparse set of locations, thus enabling numerically cheap large-ensemble prediction over synoptic to climate timescales. DELWAVE was trained on COSMO-CLM (Climate Limited-area Model) and SWAN input data during the period of 1971–1998, tested during 1998–2000, and cross-evaluated over the far-future climate time window of 2071–2100. It is constructed from a convolutional atmospheric encoder block, followed by a temporal collapse block and, finally, a regression block. DELWAVE reproduces SWAN model significant wave heights with a mean absolute error (MAE) of between 5 and 10 cm, mean wave directions with a MAE of 10–25°, and a mean wave period with a MAE of 0.2 s. DELWAVE is able to accurately emulate multi-modal mean wave direction distributions related to dominant wind regimes in the basin. We use wave power analysis from linearised wave theory to explain prediction errors in the long-period limit during southeasterly conditions. We present a storm analysis of DELWAVE, employing threshold-based metrics of precision and recall to show that DELWAVE reaches a very high score (both metrics over 95 %) of storm detection. SWAN and DELWAVE time series are compared to each other in the end-of-century scenario (2071–2100) and compared to the control conditions in the 1971–2000 period. Good agreement between DELWAVE and SWAN is found when considering climatological statistics, with a small (≤ 5 %), though systematic, underestimate of 99th-percentile values. Compared to control climatology over all wind directions, the mismatch between DELWAVE and SWAN is generally small compared to the difference between scenario and control conditions, suggesting that the noise introduced by surrogate modelling is substantially weaker than the climate change signal.
How can seismo-volcanic catalogues be improved or created using robust neural networks through weakly supervised approaches?
Authors: Titos Manuel , Benítez Carmen , Kowsari Milad , Ibáñez Jesús M.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Real-time monitoring of volcano-seismic signals is complex. Typically, automatic systems are built by learning from large seismic catalogues, where each instance has a label indicating its source mechanism. However, building complete catalogues is difficult owing to the high cost of data-labelling. Current machine learning techniques have achieved great success in constructing predictive monitoring tools; however, catalogue-based learning can introduce bias into the system. Here, we show that while monitoring systems recognize almost 90 % of events annotated in seismic catalogues, other information describing volcanic behavior is not considered. We found that weakly supervised learning approaches have the remarkable capability of simultaneously identifying unannotated seismic traces in the catalogue and correcting mis-annotated seismic traces. When a system trained with a master dataset and catalogue is used as a pseudo-labeller within the framework of weakly supervised learning, information related to volcanic dynamics can be revealed and updated. Our results offer the potential for developing more sophisticated semi-supervised models to increase the reliability of monitoring tools. For example, the use of more sophisticated pseudo-labelling techniques involving data from several catalogues could be tested. Ultimately, there is potential to develop universal monitoring tools able to consider unforeseen temporal changes in monitored signals at any volcano.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Scientific drill cores provide unique windows into the processes of the past and present. In the dynamic tectonic, environmental, climatic, and ecological setting that is eastern Africa, records recovered through scientific drilling enable us to look at change through time in unprecedented ways. Cores from the East African Rift System can provide valuable information about the context in which hominins have evolved in one of the key regions of hominin evolution over the past 4 Myr. The Deep Drilling in the Turkana Basin (DDTB) project seeks to explore the impact of several types of evolution (tectonic, climatic, biological) on ecosystems and environments. This includes addressing questions regarding the region's complex and interrelated rifting and magmatic history, as well as understanding processes of sedimentation and associated hydrothermal systems within the East African Rift System. We seek to determine the relative impacts of tectonic and climatic evolution on eastern African ecosystems. We ask the follow questions: what role (if any) did climate change play in the evolution of hominins? How can our understanding of past environmental change guide our planning for a future shaped by anthropogenic climate change? To organize the scientific community's goals for deep coring in the Turkana Basin, we hosted a 4 d ICDP supported workshop in Nairobi, Kenya, in July 2022. The team focused on how a 4 Myr sedimentary core from the Turkana Basin will uniquely address key scientific research objectives related to basin evolution, paleoclimate, paleoenvironment, and modern resources. Participants also discussed how DDTB could collaborate with community partners in the Turkana Basin, particularly around the themes of access to water and education. The team concluded that collecting the proposed Pliocene to modern record is best accomplished through a two-phase drilling project with a land-based transect of four cores spanning the interval from 4 Ma to the Middle–Late Pleistocene (< 0.7 Ma) and a lake-based core targeting the interval from ∼ 1 Ma to present. The second phase, while logistically more challenging due to the lack of drilling infrastructure currently on Lake Turkana, would revolutionize our understanding of a significant interval in the evolution and migration of Homo sapiens for a time period not currently accessible from the Kenyan part of the Turkana Basin. Collectively, the DDTB project will provide exceptional tectonic and climatic data directly associated with one of the world's richest hominin fossil localities.

La formación inicial de los seminaristas está necesariamente condicionada por el contexto sociocultural en el que se desarrolla. Y el contexto actual está marcado por tres cuestiones decididamente amplias y complejas, que animan el debate eclesial y están estrechamente vinculadas al problema de la eficacia de la formación inicial: el modo típicamente juvenil de vivir la religiosidad; el necesario discernimiento sobre la forma del seminario; y las transformaciones que se están produciendo en el modo de entender el ministerio sacerdotal. Observando más de cerca estas cuestiones podemos encontrar algunos criterios de discernimiento para plantear futuras experiencias u orientar las que están ya en marcha en los seminarios

En este trabajo, abordamos los usos de provided that como marcador interoracional con el fin de orientar posibles soluciones de traducción. Adams (2004) plantea que esta expresión constituye una dificultad traductora, dado que suele asociarse unívocamente con un valor condicional. A partir del relevamiento bibliográfico y del análisis de un corpus, ilustramos casos en los que provided that expresa valores condicionales y no condicionales. Estos usos no siempre son reconocibles a primera vista, pero pueden comprenderse cabalmente si se consideran pistas formales y conceptuales que evidencian la contribución semántico-pragmática de la expresión.

Profesores de las universidades españolas Pablo de Olavide, del País Vasco y de Sevilla han querido aprovechar el XX aniversario de la muerte del ilustre escritor español Camilo José Cela para rendirle homenaje, presentando una serie de interesantes y rigurosos estudios en torno a la traducción de la narrativa del autor gallego a las siguientes lenguas: el inglés, el francés, el alemán, el italiano y el árabe.
 
En este libro integrado por siete capítulos, los referidos investigadores ponen el acento en ciertas facetas relacionadas con las dificultades que podrían producirse en la traslación de la narrativa de Camilo José Cela a otras lenguas. Sostienen en este libro que la problemática de la traducción del escritor del pueblo español de la posguerra, no se limita exclusivamente a la necesidad de reflejar realidades sumamente especiales, que representan una dimensión espacio temporal concreta y específica, sino que se origina en las formas de expresión propias de las gentes que viven dichas realidades, y cuyo lenguaje va cargando el autor español de una rica gama de matices y simbolismos.
El tráfico atlántico del cacao de Guayaquil: cambios en las conexiones comerciales trans-imperiales del virreinato del Perú en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII
Authors: Suárez Espinosa Margarita
Published: June 2024

Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVII se producirán profundos cambios en el virreinato del Perú, tanto a nivel político como en la esfera fiscal y comercial. A través del estudio del caso del corregidor de Guayaquil, don Gaspar de Argandoña, en la década de 1670, esta investigación demostrará que existía un engranaje entre los negocios de los miembros de la administración peninsular vinculados a América y las operaciones comerciales de los funcionarios americanos, que modificaron las políticas metropolitanas americanas decididas en la corte de Madrid. En el camino, los negocios de este corregidor dejan al descubierto que habían surgido nuevos circuitos trans-imperiales y se habían agregado más productos al intercambio atlántico, todo ello vinculado a las rutas del comercio de esclavos en el Caribe.

Authors: Oliveira Aline Ribeiro de , Anjos Juarez José Tuchinski dos
Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar quais práticas comemorativas eram mobilizadas para festejar a Semana da Criança na Escola Parque de Brasília, entre os anos de 1960 a 1971. O corpus empírico privilegiado é constituído por notícias sobre as comemorações da Semana da Criança na Escola Parque veiculadas no jornal Correio Braziliense. Em termos metodológicos, utilizou-se o método onomástico, de Carlo Ginzburg. Os resultados apontam que, no período em tela, as práticas que visavam demarcar e celebrar a Semana da Criança na Escola Parque podem ser categorizadas em três grupos: práticas artísticas, práticas escolares e práticas esportivas. Eram, concomitantemente, celebrativas e educativas, já que intentavam inculcar determinados hábitos, comportamentos e condutas, produzindo certos modelos de criança que se queria dar a ver e exaltar por meio desta festa escolar.
ROYALTIES PARA EDUCAÇÃO NOS MUNICÍPIOS DAS REGIÕES DA COSTA VERDE, MÉDIO PARAÍBA E CENTRO-SUL FLUMINENSE
Authors: Souza Fábio Araujo de , Menezes Janaina  Specht da Silva
Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a aplicação em educação das participações governamentais – royalties e participação especial – advindas da exploração de recursos naturais, sobretudo do petróleo, gás natural e outros hidrocarbonetos fluidos, realizada pelos municípios das regiões Costa Verde, Médio Paraíba e Centro-Sul Fluminense, no ano de 2018. Entre outros resultados, a pesquisa revela que 12 (48%) dos 25 municípios que integram as três regiões não demonstraram ter pagado qualquer despesa de educação com recursos oriundos dessas receitas. Sendo assim, observa-se que há muitos desafios no que se refere à aplicação devida das receitas das participações governamentais de recursos naturais na educação do país.
PERCEPÇÕES DO USO ARTIVISMO ALIADO À PEDAGOGIA FEMINISTA EM UM EXPERIMENTO NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: Almeida Angela Aparecida de
Published: June 2024

Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa que desenvolveu um experimento unindo práticas de artivismo e leitura crítica da mídia usando a pedagogia feminista, exercitando o pensamento computacional. A questão foi a busca sobre as contribuições do artivismo na formação de usuários críticos da cultura digital. Os dados foram construídos pela observação das oficinas, entrevistas e exame do material produzido através da análise de prosa. Os resultados sugeriram que os participantes dominam habilidades básicas como identificar padrões, hierarquizar a informação, mas demonstram pouca familiaridade com a análise crítica de representações, o que reforça a relevância da Alfabetização Midiática Informacional (AMI) no currículo escolar.
EDUCAÇÃO E CINEMA: CRÍTICA À DOMESTICAÇÃO DA MEMÓRIA EM FILMES DE ANIMAÇÃO DOS ESTÚDIOS DISNEY
Authors: Loureiro Robson , Sten Samira da Costa
Published: June 2024

O artigo é resultado de pesquisa de doutoramento cujo escopo é compreender, a partir do apelo à felicidade, como os filmes de animação dos Estúdios Disney desenvolvem uma linguagem que sedimenta os pressupostos da indústria cultural hegemônica. Em diálogo com a teoria crítica da sociedade de Theodor Adorno e Walter Benjamin, são analisadas três animações – Rei Leão (1994), Frozen (2013) e Zootopia (2016) – e defende a tese de que a felicidade vendida pela Disney, além de vendar os sentidos dos espectadores, dificulta que o público perceba as artimanhas da política cultural de domesticação da memória, cuja tendência é anestesiar a sensibilidade e reproduzir a sensação de um continuum da história vinculado a uma tentativa de assepsia social que empobrece e esvazia o potencial crítico-emancipatório da linguagem cinematográfica.
Evaluation of antitumor activity of saphia alkali K90 on dmba-induced carcinogenesis in swiss mice
Authors: Anh Pham Thi Van , Dung Nguyen Phuong , Thanh Mai Phuong
Published: June 2024

The present study aimed to initially evaluate the anti-tumor effect of orally administered Saphia Alkali K90 in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced carcinogenesis in Swiss mice. Mice exposed to DMBA (total dose of 6 mg, p.o.) were treated with SAK90 at 15 ml/kg BW and 45 ml/kg BW daily. The vehicle was given to both normal and diseased controls. The change in body weight, mortality rate, tumor incidence, tumor burden, tumor yield, histopathology, and hematological and biochemical parameters were evaluated after 16 weeks of treatment. 23,26% of DMBA-exposed mice presented neoplasms. SAK90 tended to reduce death, tumor incidence, and tumor yield compared to the DMBA group. The formulation exhibited protective effects against DMBA-induced hepatotoxicity through a trend in drop transaminase levels and increased albumin concentration concurrently compared to the DMBA group. This study suggested that SAK90 has potential anticancer activity.

This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess lower limb strength and related factors among older people with dementia examined and treated at the National Geriatric Hospital. Lower limb strength was assessed using the 30-Second Chair Stand Test. The proportion of participants with impaired lower limb strength was 78.2%. There were significant associations between impaired lower limb strength and diabetic patients. There were significant associations between impaired lower limb strength and geriatric syndromes: malnutrition, high risk of falls, and dependence or partial dependence according to the Barthel Index. There was no significant difference between the type of dementia and the level of dementia with impaired lower limb strength. In conclusion: Three-quarters of older dementia patients have impaired lower limb strength. Our results highlighted that diabetes, and geriatric syndromes such as malnutrition, high fall risk, dependence, and partial dependence were significantly associated with lower limb strength in older patients with dementia.

Libertad Económica de Norteamérica 2023 mide hasta qué punto las políticas de las distintas provincias y estados apoyan la libertad económica —la capacidad de las personas para actuar en la esfera económica sin restricciones indebidas—. Incluye un índice de todos los gobiernos para la comparación de jurisdicciones (gobiernos federales) en diferentes países y un índice subnacional para la comparación de jurisdicciones individuales (gobiernos provinciales y estatales, así como municipales y locales) dentro del mismo país. Para el índice subnacional, Libertad económica de Norteamérica emplea 10 variables para 92 gobiernos provinciales y estatales de Canadá, Estados Unidos y México, y el territorio estadounidense de Puerto Rico, en tres áreas: (1) Gasto público, (2) Impuestos y (3) Regulación. En el caso del índice de todos los gobiernos, incorporamos tres áreas adicionales a escala federal de Libertad económica del mundo: informe anual 2023: (4) Sistemas legales y derechos de propiedad, (5) Dinero sólido y (6) Libertad para comerciar internacionalmente. Además, ampliamos el Área 1 para incluir la inversión gubernamental, el Área 2 para incluir las tasas marginales superiores de impuestos sobre la renta y la nómina, y el Área 3 para incluir la regulación del mercado crediticio y las regulaciones comerciales. Estas adiciones ayudan a captar las restricciones a la libertad económica que son difíciles de medir a escala provincial, estatal, municipal y local.
Un caso di botulismo infantile
Authors: Gasperoni Umberto , Acone Federica , Morandi Francesco , Lazzerotti Alessandra
Published: June 2024

A 6-month-old infant had been presenting with weak sucking and reduced spontaneous limb movements for a week. He had constipation problems for 4 days followed by hard stool. Upon admission, blood tests including metabolic screening and instrumental investigations were performed. Upon further inquiry into the family history, it was discovered that the father works as a mason. Due to suspicion of infant botulism, the Poison Control Center Unit of Pavia was contacted, and a faecal sample was sent to the Brescia Zooprophylactic Institute, which tested positive for Clostridium bacteria that produce botulinum toxin subtype B. The infant did not require respiratory or nutritional support. Antitoxin therapy was not initiated, and the infant was discharged upon negative test results. Botulism is a neuroparalytic disease characterized by acute symmetric descending flaccid paralysis caused by neurotoxin. The pathogenetic mechanism involves the botulinum toxin inhibiting the formation of the SNARE complex, crucial for the release of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction.
