Authors: Liu Ao , Chen Yiqiao , Yang Biwen , Guo Zhouyi , Mo Luoqi , Chen Haolin , Tao Chenglong , Su Chengkang , Liu Zhiming
Published: September 2022

Fluorescence microscopy based on fluorochrome has been rapidly developed as the candidate for morphological identification of pathogenic fungi over recent years, offering superior rapidity and efficacy over traditional culture methods. However, the intrinsic quenching properties of fluorescein limit the clinical application of fluorescence imaging. Herein, we report a nano-strategy by converting a commercial fluorescein dye, fluorescent brightener-33 (FB-33), into carbon dots (FB-CDs) through a one-pot hydrothermal method. FB-CDs exhibit a chitin-targeting capacity allowing the selective recognition and ultrafast imaging of fungi within 30 s. The fluorescence quantum yield of FB-CDs is 51.6% which is 8.6-fold higher than that of commercial dye, FB-33. Moreover, FB-CDs also display superstable fluorescence signals under continuous intense light irradiation for 2 h and long-term storage for more than 2 months. The significantly improved photobleaching resistance meets the prolonged fluorescence observation and quantitative analysis of microbial samples. This work offers a novel nanoconversion strategy of commercial dyes for point-of-care testing of pathogenic organisms.

Nonsynaptic Transmission Mediates Light Context-Dependent Odor Responses inDrosophila melanogaster
Authors: Ikeda Kazuaki , Kataoka Masaki , Tanaka Nobuaki K.
Published: September 2022

Recent connectome analyses of the entire synaptic circuit in the nervous system have provided tremendous insights into how neural processing occurs through the synaptic relay of neural information. Conversely, the extent to which ephaptic transmission which does not depend on the synapses contributes to the relay of neural information, especially beyond a distance between adjacent neurons and to neural processing remains unclear. We show that ephaptic transmission mediated by extracellular potential changes in femaleDrosophila melanogastercan reach >200 µm, equivalent to the depth of its brain. Furthermore, ephaptic transmission driven by retinal photoreceptor cells mediates light-evoked firing rate increases in olfactory sensory neurons. These results indicate that ephaptic transmission contributes to sensory responses that can change momentarily in a context-dependent manner.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAlthough extracellular field potential activities are commonly observed in many nervous systems, this activity has been generally considered as a side effect of synchronized spiking of neurons. This study, however, shows that field potential changes in retinae evoked by a sensory stimulus can control the excitability of distant neuronsin vivoand mediates multimodal sensory integration inDrosophila melanogaster. As such ephaptic transmission is more effective at a short distance, the ephaptic transmission from the retinae may contribute significantly to firing rate changes in downstream neurons of the photoreceptor cells in the optic lobe.

An approach to the influence of the machining process on power consumption and surface quality during the milling of 304L austenitic stainless steel
Authors: HAMZA Anis , BOUSNINA Kamel , BEN YAHIA Noureddine
Published: September 2022

Increasing the quality of a machined product and minimizing energy consumption is a primary objective for all industries, given their significant impact on manufacturing costs and the environment. The choice of the machining process and the optimal cutting parameters to meet this requirement is the objective of this experimental study, which deals with the effects of the cutting parameters and the machining process on the energy consumption and surface condition during the milling of AISI 304L austenitic steel. This article presents a multi-objective optimization method based on the response surface methodology and Grey's weighted relational analysis. Based on this approach, the down milling cutting parameters indicate that the cutting speed is the most influential parameter on energy consumption (62.71%), while the feed rate is the most influential factor in roughness (47.20%). For up milling, the cutting speed is the most important factor influencing surface roughness (29.07%) and also energy consumption (64.09%).It has also been found that the cutting power can be reduced by 39% for down milling and 16% for up milling compared to the maximum value. On the other hand, the quality of the machined surface can be improved by 58.5% for down milling and by 60% for up milling.

Published: September 2022

The local heat transfer of axisymmetric synthetic air jet impinging on flat surface is investigated experimentally. Acoustic speaker is used for generation of synthetic air jet with cavity of cylindrical shape.The experiments is conducted for actuator frequency ranging from 50Hz to 400Hz, orifice diameter 2mm to 10mm, orifice plate thickness 2mm to 10mm, cavity diameter 50mm to 75mm, cavity depth 30mm to 60mm, jet to plate distance 16mm to 112mm. A steady heat flow is maintained on the flat surface. Local heat transfer characteristics on flat surface is found by thermal images using IR thermal imaging and thin foil technique.The experimental results reveals that the heat transfer is highly effected by frequency, orifice diameter, orifice plate thickness, jet to plate distance. However, cavity depth and cavity diameter has small influence on thermal performance.The higher cavity volume show more influence on heat transfer characteristics. An optimization of synthetic jet performance parameters is studied for maximum thermal performance interms of heat transfer characteristics.

Published: September 2022

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis. With the advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a therapeutic option, management of CAD in such patients has undergone a revolution. Younger patients are now candidates for treatment, and have a greater life-time probability of requiring post-TAVI coronary access. Considerations include pre-procedural assessment and revascularisation, procedural planning to avoid coronary obstruction as well as optimisation of post-procedural coronary access. The authors review the challenges of managing CAD in TAVI patients, shed light on the evidence base, and provide guidance on how to optimise management.

Published: September 2022

Objective This study investigated the characteristics and survival rates of patients with unintentional severe trauma who visited a regional trauma center (TC) or a non-TC.Methods This retrospective, national, population-based, observational, case-control study included patients with abnormal Revised Trauma Score from January 2018 to December 2018. We divided hospitals into two types, TC and non-TC, and compared several variables, including in-hospital mortality. Propensity score matching was used to reduce the effect of confounding variables that influence survival outcome variables.Results Of the 25,743 patients, 5,796 visited a TC and 19,947 visited a non-TC. Compared to patients treated at non-TCs, patients treated at TCs were more likely to have a higher Injury Severity Score (TC, 11.5; non-TC, 7.4; P<0.001), higher rate of surgery or transcatheter arterial embolization (TC, 39.2%; non-TC, 17.6%; P<0.001), and higher admission rate (TC, 64.7%; non-TC, 36.9%; P<0.001) through the emergency department. After propensity score matching, 2,800 patients from both groups were analyzed. Patients in the TC had a higher survival rate than patients that were not treated in the TC (TC, 83.0%; non-TC, 78.6%; P=0.003).Conclusion This study using Korean emergency medical services data showed that initial transport to trauma centers was associated with mortality reduction. Further research is required because of limitations with use of single-year data and retrospective design.

Published: September 2022

With current medical advances, the human population continues to age. This presents healthcare practitioners with the increasing complexity of providing care to elderly patients with multifactorial medical and personal needs. This is a particular challenge in the emergency department, where patients often present for care in the last months of their lives. Early identification of palliative care needs and initiation of comfort care can drastically improve patient care and quality of life. Although emergency physicians agree that palliative care is an important area of knowledge, there is a gap in palliative care training in emergency medicine residencies. It is increasingly important for emergency medicine providers to have the resources and training to provide palliative care and to understand end-of-life issues.
Determinants of mortality rates from COVID-19: a macro level analysis by extended-beta regression model
Authors: Chellai Fatih
Published: September 2022

Objective The specific mortality rate (MR) due to COVID-19 is a useful indicator for monitoring and evaluating the health strategies of health systems in the pandemic era. The main objective of this study is to estimate the effects of social, health, and economic factors on MRs in 176 countries.
Material and Methods Beta regression models were used, and MRs were estimated as the total number of deaths divided by the total number of confirmed cases (infection fatality rate) until December 2, 2021.
Results The primary findings revealed heterogeneity in mortality rates between regions and countries. The estimated coefficients showed different patterns of association between the explanatory variables and mortality rates. In the American region, the results showed a strange pattern and nearly insignificant effect for almost all variables. In Asian countries, we found a significant effect of GDP per capita and the share of the population aged 65 years and older on mortality rates, whereas on the African continent, the significant variables affecting mortality rates were GDP per capita, human development index, and share of population aged 65 years and older. Finally, in the European region, we did not find clear evidence of an association between the explanatory variables and mortality rates.
Conclusion These results show, in a heterogeneous way among regions, the impact of aging, development level and population density (especially with forms of distancing) on increasing the risk of death from the coronavirus. In conclusion, the pandemic has succeeded in demonstrating chaotic patterns of associations with social, health, and economic factors.

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular, desde seu processo de construção, anunciava-se como documento que ecoaria não apenas no currículo da Educação Básica, mas diretamente na formação docente. Diante disso, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a atual política nacional de formação de professores: Base Nacional Comum - Formação (BNC-Formação). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que tem como aporte teórico o “Ciclo de Políticas” proposto por Ball e Bowe (1992), constituído por cinco basilares contextos, dos quais analisaremos dois: o contexto de Influência e o contexto de Produção de Texto. Constatamos a pressão para a efetivação de um projeto conservador, neoliberal e privatista, em detrimento de educação pública, democrática, gratuita, laica, plural, inclusiva, emancipatória e de qualidade socialmente referenciada, defendida por associações científicas e instituições acadêmicas. Desse modo, fica evidente que a descaracterização da docência, sendo reduzida ao repasse de conhecimento, não constitui um avanço para a profissionalização docente.

Authors: Chernova Olga A.
Published: September 2022

Introduction. A necessary condition for the sustainable development of the region is the rational use of its water bodies. This determines the relevance of the study of the extent to which the water bodies of the region meet the needs of human and economic development. The purpose of this article is the formation of tools for assessing the level of compliance of ecosystem services of surface water bodies with the objectives of sustainable development of the region.

Materials and Methods. The assessment of ecosystem services potential of water bodies was carried out in the areas of their provision: supply, regulation and cultural. With help of a problem-oriented approach the selection of evaluation indicators was done; using a context-oriented approach, a characteristic of the ecosystem services of water bodies in the Rostov region was given and an assessment of the compliance of ecosystem services with the goals of sustainable development was made.

Results. A system of indicators for assessing the potential of ecosystem services of water bodies has been formed; indicators of compliance of ecosystem services of water bodies of the Rostov region with the goals of sustainable development have been determined; the priority of the implementation of regulatory and supply services over cultural ones is revealed; the need to adjust the existing policy for the development of the region’s water management has been justified.

Discussion and Conclusion. It is concluded that measures aimed to obtain economic benefits from water resources should not be carried out by reducing recreational and cultural potential. Sustainable regional development presupposes the necessity to balance economic, social and ecological values that water bodies carry. The practical significance of the study is in the possibility of using its results to promote sustainable development of the region.

Published: September 2022

Introduction. COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the architectonics of the global educational process. While many countries are still analyzing the consequences of the pandemic for education, the world’s largest institutions and organizations are already thinking about the future of education. The purpose of the article is to identify and summarize the prospects for the development of a post-digital university on the basis of this analysis.

Materials and Methods. This article presents an analysis of a number of important documents of world organizations on the future prospects of the higher education system during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as official documents on education systems in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main methods of the proposed research are the analysis of program documents in the field of education, as well as a review of the philosophical literature of 2020‒2022 on the trends of the post-digital university.

Results. In the worldʼs leading documents on the future of the education system it is shown that education is the main driving force of sustainable development. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented destabilization of the entire world education system. The analytical documents, in general, contains the following ideas: increasing the viability of education systems for sustainable development; rethinking education and accelerating positive transformations in teaching and learning. Based on the analysis of the situation, the documents suggested a number of effective measures, is the mains among which: digital transformation of universities; measures to support the research activities of universities. The article suggests that the digitalization of the educational process itself, described in the leading documents on education, will not lead to any results, unless it is accompanied by serious transformations in the content of education.

Discussion and Conclusion. In a post-digital university, a radical paradigm shift is needed, the rejection of the neoliberal, standardized, algorithmic structure of the university, its transition to a socially significant, critical, responsible device. New technologies, as well as digitalization in education, should not be a goal, but a means. Only then can progress in education and significant social transformations be possible. The practical significance of this research of the authors lies in the analysis and generalization of strategically important program documents in the field of education on the prospects for the development of a post-digital university.
Mi van a maszk mögött? A maszkviselés szociális reprezentációja
Authors: Borszéki Judit , Farkas Martin , Turner Andrea , Vonyik Gabriella , Simonyi Gábor , Finta Ervin
Published: September 2022

Elméleti háttér: A COVID–19-pandémia idején a járványügyi intézkedések meghatározó részévé vált az arcmaszkok viselésének preventív és széles körű alkalmazása. Az arcmaszkok az arcfelület mintegy 60–70%-át lefedve jelentősen befolyásolják a szociális interakciókat – különösen az érzelemfelismerést, érzelemkifejezést és mentalizálást. A kommunikációban fellépő nehézségek a gyógyító munka hatékonysága szempontjából kiemelt jelentőségűvé válnak az orvos–beteg kapcsolatban. Ennek még kritikusabb esetei azok a helyzetek, amikor a páciens mentalizációs deficittel jellemezhető zavarban szenved. Tanulmányunkban a szociális reprezentációk elméletét használjuk annak vizsgálatára, hogy a maszkviselés milyen tartalmakkal vált a közös tudás részévé. Célkitűzés: Vizsgálatunkban a maszkviselés szociális reprezentációjának feltérképezését tűztük ki célul, figyelembe véve annak interperszonális kommunikációra gyakorolt hatását, olyan csoportokban, ahol a kölcsönös megértés hatékonysága kiemelt jelentőséggel bír. Módszerek: Kutatásunkban a koronavírus-járvány második és harmadik magyarországi hulláma idején, orvos, szomatikus és pszichiátriai beteg csoportban, valamint kontrollcsoportban (összesen 81 fő, átlagéletkor 43,1 [SD = 13,83] év) szabad asszociációs feladatot adtunk a „maszkviselés” hívószóra. A nyert adatokból szemantikus kategóriákat képeztünk, majd ranggyakoriság-eljárással feltérképeztük a szociális reprezentációk szerkezetét az egyes csoportokon belül. Eredmények: A vizsgálati csoportok maszkhasználathoz kapcsolódó szociális reprezentációjában egységesen központi elemként jelent meg a maszkviselés által nyújtott biztonságélmény, valamint a maszk zavaró testérzetet keltő hatása. Különbséget találtunk az egyes csoportok között elaboratív kategóriák megjelenése, illetve szorongás, agresszió, tehetetlenség, sérült dependenciaszükséglet, valamint a kényszerű alkalmazkodás tekintetében. Következtetések: A maszkviselés szociális reprezentációjának elemzése alapján a maszkviselés ambivalens jelentéstartalmakat hordoz. Bár a maszkviseléshez kapcsolódó szociális reprezentációk struktúrájában számottevő különbségek is mutatkoztak, ugyanakkor a legtöbb vizsgált csoportban a maszk a vírusvédelem szempontjából „kényelmetlen, de szükséges” eszközként került felismerésre. Az eredmények alapján az egyes csoportok sajátos reprezentációik alapján eltérő módokon lehetnek veszélyeztetettek, illetve küzdhetnek meg a pandémia idején kialakult helyzettel.
Az elektromágneses tereknek tulajdonított idiopátiás környezeti intolerancia (IEI-EMF) jelensége a szakemberek szemszögéből
Authors: Dömötör Zsuzsanna , Köteles Ferenc , Szemerszky Renáta
Published: September 2022

Kétrészes narratív összefoglalónkban áttekintést nyújtunk az elektromágneses tereknek tulajdonított idiopátiás környezeti intoleranciával (IEI-EMF, más néven elektromágneses túlérzékenységgel) kapcsolatos tudományos eredményekről, a kutatások jelenlegi állásáról. Az elektromágneses túlérzékenység olyan állapotot jelent, amely során az érintett személy tüneteket tapasztal az elektromos eszközök közelében vagy azok használatakor, és tüneteit az elektromágneses expozíciónak tulajdonítja. Az Egészségügyi Világszervezet jelenlegi álláspontja szerint az IEI-EMF nem diagnosztikus kategória, megállapításához jelenleg sem orvosi teszt, sem valid protokoll nem áll rendelkezésre. Jellemző az állapotra a nagyfokú distressz, gyakran vezet szociális izolációhoz, valamint a munkaképesség elvesztéséhez. Gyakoriak a különböző komorbid mentális zavarok, mint a szorongás, depresszió, szomatizáció. Az elektromágneses túlérzékenység etiológiájával kapcsolatos elméletek két fő irányvonalat képviselnek: míg a biofizikai megközelítés szerint a tüneteket elektromágneses mezők által aktivált fiziológiai folyamatok idézik elő, addig a pszichogén elméletet propagáló szerzők a tünetképzés jelenségét pszichológiai folyamatokkal magyarázzák (például torzult figyelmi és attribúciós folyamatok, nocebohatás, asszociatív tanulás). Számos kutató hangsúlyozza azonban, hogy a jelenség teljes megértéséhez a két megközelítés integrálására és interdiszciplináris kutatócsoportok felállítására van szükség. Jelen írásunkban a jelenséggel kapcsolatos jellemzőket kutatói és orvosi szemszögből járjuk körül: az etiológiával kapcsolatos elméletek bemutatásán túl kitérünk a vizsgálati, módszertani nehézségekre, a definíciós és diagnosztikus problémákra és a terápiás lehetőségekre.

Heavy metals (HMs) toxicity is serious abiotic stress that is significantly reducing crop productivity and posing a serious threat to human health, soil and environmental quality. Therefore, it is urgently needed to find appropriate measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of HMs on soil, plants, humans and the environment. Biochar (BC) has emerged as an excellent soil amendment to minimize the adverse impacts of HMs and to improve soil fertility and environmental quality. Biochar application decreases HMs uptake and their translocation to plant parts by forming complexes and precipitation. Biochar also has improved soil pH, soil fertility and soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) and it also increases adsorption of HMs thus reduces their mobility and subsequent availability to plants. BC application also maintains membrane stability and improves uptake of nutrients, osmolytes accumulation, antioxidant activities, and gene expression, therefore, improves the plant performance under HMs stress. Biochar application also improves the photosynthetic performance by increasing the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments, stomata conductance and increasing the water uptake by plants. Besides this, BC also scavenges ROS by increasing the antioxidant activities, gene expression, and accumulation of proline in HMs contaminated soils. This review highlights the role of BC to mitigate the HMs toxicity in plants. We have discussed the role of BC in the modification of soil properties to induce tolerance against HMs toxicity. Moreover, we have discussed various mechanisms mediated by BC at the plant level to induce tolerance against HMs. Additionally, we also identified research gaps that must be fulfilled in future research studies.

Coastal dune landscapes are subject to morphological and ecological changes. In many parts of the world, coastal dunes are under severe pressure. The present study illustrates an integrated remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) approach, i.e., geospatial techniques for assessing land-cover dynamics in Zouaraa coastal dunes, located in northwest Tunisia. As a main result, the analysis of the situation in the past six decades indicates that the dune area showed a decreasing trend with up to 31% (i.e., 6198 ha) in favour of forest area, which has increased by up to 6485 ha. The geo-spatial analysis revealed that restoration works have positively contributed to stabilize coastal dune systems with a substantial increase in vegetation cover. An increase in drought frequency and intensity was detected during the 1952-2017 period using the SPEI index, which enhanced the vegetation activity and growth in the study area. The SPEI significantly correlated with vegetation greenness on the 12- and 24-months’ time scales. The croplands, water and buildings in the study area have increased respectively by 6% (i.e., 1256 ha), 13% (i.e., 3073 ha) and 3% (i.e., 719 ha). In contrast, land cover like shrub and bare soil has decreased respectively by 13% (i.e., 3073 ha) and 2% (i.e., 1831 ha) during the same period. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of the revegetation techniques undertaken for conserving coastal dune systems. The findings of this study allow land-use planning decision makers to manage and improve situations in similar coastal regions.

Organic farming preserve and upgrade the biodiversity of the soil and biodiversity of the entire ecosystem by protecting the environment, plants, and human health. This study analyses organic plant production worldwide and in Montenegro (2000-2020) and discusses the prospects and challenges in developing organic plant production. Geographically, Montenegro has a diverse climate, suitable for the production of more types of fields crops, vegetables and fruits throughout the year. The paper compares the area of organic farms, the number of farmers, and share of organic in the overall agricultural land in the world and Montenegro, Europe, and several European countries similar to Montenegro in terms of relief or area (Switzerland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Serbia, and Cyprus). Data were also analysed for a mountainous state, such as Switzerland, and a Mediterranean one, as Cyprus, as by its position and relief, Montenegro is at the same time a mountainous (northern) and a Mediterranean country (southern region). Shows are trends in plant production areas in Montenegro since it gained independence (2006) and comparison with the EU countries. Grassland production prevails in Montenegro with 85.89%, followed by fruit (12.26%) and cereals (1.62%). The total area under organic vegetable covered a small area compared to the production of fodder crops (3951.84 ha), fruit (563.98 ha), medicinal and aromatic plants (232.46 ha) and field crops (74.49 ha). Organic fruit production has the largest share in the northern part of Montenegro. Certified organic production brings benefits because health-safe products are a condition for preserving the environment and health.

Cocoa is an economical cash crop that is formerly planted worldwide. Cuttings are a method of vegetative propagation suitable for maintaining desirable characteristics in cocoa trees. A greenhouse experiment was performed to evaluate the optimal concentrations of Pectimorf® (0, 10, 50, and 100 mg L-1) for rooting ability and seedling establishment as well as some physiological trials of 4 months EETP-800 national cocoa cuttings grown under two different substrates (S1: 80% soil + 20% sand and S2: 70% soil + 20% sand + 10% rice husk). The data showed that in most cases there are no significant differences in vegetative growth and root characteristics as well as gas exchange parameters between the two substrates. On the other hand, the application of Pectimorf® concentration enhanced all tested traits compared to untreated plants. The most effective in this regard was 100 mg L-1, that giving the highest value of all trials. As for the interaction effect, the result also shows that the application of Pectimorf® concentration in special at 100 mg L-1 among two substrates had an additive effect on plant growth, gas exchange, and survival percentage compared to non-treated cuttings. The application of 100 mg L-1 Pectimorf® with S2 substrate produced stronger seedlings with a higher survival percentage. This protocol can be used commercially for cocoa propagation commercially.
An Efficient Approach towards Network Routing using Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Obeidat Alaa , Al-shalabi Mohammed
Published: September 2022

The network field has been very popular in recent times and has aroused much of the attention of researchers. The network must keep working with the varying infrastructure and must adapt to rapid topology changes. Graphical representation of the networks with a series of edges varying over time can help in analysis and study. This paper presents a novel adaptive and dynamic network routing algorithm based on a Regenerate Genetic Algorithm (RGA) with the analysis of network delays. With the help of RGA at least a very good path, if not the shortest one, can be found starting from the origin and leading to a destination. Many algorithms are devised to solve the shortest path (SP) problem for example Dijkstra algorithm which can solve polynomial SP problems. These are equally effective in wired as well as wireless networks with fixed infrastructure. But the same algorithms offer exponential computational complexity in dealing with the real-time communication for rapidly changing network topologies. The proposed genetic algorithm (GA) provides more efficient and dynamic solutions despite changes in network topology, network change, link or node deletion from the network, and the network volume (with numerous routes).

Abstract Significant food resource shortages are occurring worldwide. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) represent an ecofriendly and efficient approach for increasing soil fertility and plant productivity. The current study explored biostimulating traits of PGPR from the rhizosphere of Lotus corniculatus growing in the Al-Ahsa region. A bacterial isolate (LCK121) was obtained, characterized for phenotypic, and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In addition, its growth-stimulating effects on barley were investigated. The strain identity was confirmed via comparative analysis of the 16S rDNA sequences with Klebsiella oxytoca (99.3% similarity level). LCK121 exhibited multiple plant growth-promoting features, including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production (16.34 µg mL-1), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity (1.35±0.02 µmol α-ketobutyrate mg−1 h−1), phosphate solubilization, and nitrogen fixation. Furthermore, in vitro inoculation of barley with LCK121 significantly increased the root and shoot dry weights. The results highlight the potential of LCK121 for developing green fertilizers for sustainable agriculture.

Published: September 2022

Pesquisas em ensino de física indicam que o processo de limite é um obstáculo no entendimento do conceito de velocidade instantânea por estudantes em cursos introdutórios de física. Autores medievais, contudo, conseguiram definir o conceito sem uso aparente do processo de limite. Galileu Galilei explorou as ideias medievais para estabelecer as leis da queda dos corpos. Seus métodos inspiram uma alternativa de ensino do conceito de velocidade instantânea.
A viagem de Fermi ao Brasil em 1934 e suas entrevistas e conferências
Authors: Moreira Ildeu de Castro
Published: September 2022

Em 1934, o físico italiano Enrico Fermi viajou para a América do Sul e, no Brasil, fez cinco conferências, duas em São Paulo e três no Rio de Janeiro. Neste trabalho, a intenção é complementar investigações já feitas sobre esta viagem com novas informações sobre ela. Reproduzimos uma interessante entrevista de Fermi a um jornal carioca sobre suas impressões acerca do Brasil, e apresentarmos as sínteses de quatro de suas conferências, publicadas em jornais da época. Tais conteúdos, além de significativos para a história da ciência no Brasil, podem ter algum interesse para professores e estudantes no entendimento das contribuições científicas de Fermi e de sua visão sobre a ciência. A análise das visitas de cientistas de grande destaque ao Brasil, nas primeiras décadas do século XX, pode trazer elementos históricos que possibilitam um melhor entendimento acerca dos caminhos iniciais da física moderna no país e o surgimento das primeiras instituições e grupos de pesquisa organizados. Elas contribuíram para estimular pesquisadores locais, para valorizar as incipientes instituições científicas e para destacar a importância da “ciência pura”, já que foram eventos que tiveram ampla divulgação na mídia e repercussão junto ao meio acadêmico e às autoridades e instituições locais. Este trabalho pretende mostrar, ainda, que a interação de Fermi com o Brasil deixou legados importantes para a ciência brasileira.

Published: September 2022

Abstract The study aims to refine the concept of resilient schools. It is based on a document and content analysis of 116 articles and 38 internal documents from Portuguese border schools. The focus on these schools brings attention to contextual factors, being useful to think on challenges of peripheral schools worldwide. Articles’ findings indicated the prevalence of an individualistic approach to resilience. Results of educational projects of border region schools highlighted local specificities, suggesting the relevance of an ecological approach to conceptualize resilient schools. This concept contributes to a situated understanding of a combination of factors that may improve schools’ organisation and dynamics particularly in challenging settings.
