Development of wellbeing among school learners through positive pedagogy
Authors: Pant Darshita , Rastogi Anita
Published: June 2024

Keeping in view the growing psychological concerns among young children, the educational community is now recognizing the value of positive psychology in helping children learn, capitalize on their strengths, increase resilience, and prepare them for life. Positive education, as an applied area of positive psychology, tries to achieve these goals while providing a joint venture for collaboration among the various stakeholders in school education. The present paper is analytical in nature and focuses on the concept of positive pedagogy and its delineation in the existing literature. It also introduces the idea of integrating two well-known models (the PERMA model of wellbeing and the 5E model of experiential learning) with Brookfield's reflective practice model in order to impart wellbeing-rich content in the classroom. This integration aligns with the fundamentals of positive pedagogy and offers a systematic approach to integrating it into the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, the identification of distinct positive psychological interventions used by various positive education programs throughout the world has shed light on positive pedagogy. By taking into account the current status and associated challenges with the idea of positive pedagogy, several suggestions that may guide future advancements in the field of positive education and, more specifically, in positive pedagogy have been made in the article.

The multitude of definitions, models, and measures of positive mental health has hindered academic precision and therefore the ongoing scientific evolution of this important area. This umbrella review aimed to synthesize the theoretical landscape of positive mental health, by reviewing measures that were designed to capture overarching, multi-dimensional concepts of positive and adaptive states of mental health (i.e., wellbeing, quality of life, and resilience/coping), and interrogating their underlying dimensions (e.g., vitality, autonomy) and design features (e.g., response scales, item valence). Our search identified 155 measures of positive mental health with a total of 410 constituent dimensions. Using thematic analysis, we consolidated these 410 original dimensions into a set of 21 themes. These themes were transformed into a concept map to illustrate their inter-relationship with the overarching concepts of positive mental health as identified in this review. Our results point to a lack of consensus on the underlying dimensions and measurement approaches for investigating positive mental health, with singular measures failing to capture its breadth, resulting in an unwieldy situation for ongoing scientific inquiry.

Research on the Impact of Digital Trade on Urban Carbon Emissions in China under the "Dual Carbon" Target
Authors: Wang Xinyue , Ma Haiying , Li Ruiqi
Published: June 2024

After the "dual carbon" goal was put forward, low-carbon development has gradually become the focus of attention from all walks of life, and digital technology plays an important role in the process of helping carbon emission reduction. Digital trade, as an active field in international economy and trade, is of great significance to the economic growth of all countries and to deal with the problem of carbon emission reduction. This paper analyzes the transmission path of digital trade on urban carbon emission reduction in China from the theory of scale effect, structure effect and technological progress effect, and based on the panel data of 280 cities in China from 2011 to 2019, uses two-way fixed effect model to conduct regression analysis on the carbon emission reduction effect of digital trade. The study finds that China's digital trade development reduces urban carbon emission intensity, and the conclusion is still valid after the robustness test. Heterogeneity analyses show that the carbon emission reduction effect of digital trade varies in different regions in the East, West and Centre, as well as in regions with different degrees of carbon emissions. In terms of the transmission path, digital trade reduces regional carbon emission intensity by promoting scale effects, technological progress and industrial structure upgrading. Therefore, on the road of actively realizing the goal of "dual carbon", China should vigorously promote the development of international trade mode mainly represented by digital trade. At the same time, we fully recognize the heterogeneity of the impact of digital trade on carbon emissions, and adopt differentiated policies according to the different utility levels of digital trade on carbon emissions in different regions. This will narrow the "digital divide" between cities and help achieve China's "dual carbon" goal.

Published: June 2024

Numerous segments have long discussed environmental sustainability as a significant topic. This is due to its importance to the environment's sustainable future. Many studies have focused on the issue of environmental sustainability. As a result, this study will add to the existing literature by identifying the distribution of environmental sustainability antecedents across gender, age, faculties, and area of residence among millennial students from a Malaysian higher education institution. We conducted this study using a cross-sectional research design. We designed a questionnaire and gathered information through an online survey. We used the Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) algorithm, specifically SMART PLS 3.2.7, to analyze the data for hypothesis testing. We find that the distribution of knowledge, perceptions, awareness, actions, and initiatives on environmental sustainability remains consistent across gender, age, and area of residence categories. However, other findings from the survey indicated that there is a statistically significant difference in the distribution of perceptions, actions, and initiatives on environmental sustainability across areas of study (faculties). It is evident from the results of the analysis that the context of the study could influence the level of environmental sustainability knowledge, attitude, and behaviour among millennials.
MODELING THERMAL BEHAVIOR IN HIGH-POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES USING THE MODIFIED OHM’S LAW
Authors: Kımuya Alex
Published: June 2024

This paper addresses the challenge of thermal management in high-power semiconductor devices, where increasing power densities and complex operating environments demand more accurate thermal prediction methods. Traditional approaches often rely on simplified models that do not account for the crucial factor of temperature-dependent resistance variations. This limitation leads to inaccurate device temperature predictions, potentially compromising device reliability. This work proposes a novel approach for thermal management by introducing the first empirical application of a Modified Ohm’s Law. This modified law incorporates an exponential term to account for the non-linear relationship between temperature, current, and resistance. The paper demonstrates through simulations and empirical validation that the Modified Ohm’s Law offers a more accurate representation of thermal behavior compared to the standard version. This translates to more precise predictions of device temperature, especially during periods of rapid temperature changes. The validation process goes beyond simply establishing the Modified Ohm’s Law. It provides valuable insights into the thermal dynamics of the device, allowing for the refinement of simulation parameters used to assess various cooling strategies. These strategies include simulating different heat sink geometries and materials, modifying airflow rates over the device’s surface, and exploring the impact of Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) between the device and the heat sink. By incorporating these elements, the simulations provide a more comprehensive picture of the device’s thermal behavior under various operating conditions and cooling configurations. Ultimately, this paper not only advances the theoretical understanding of thermal management but also offers practical benefits. Through enabling more accurate thermal predictions, the Modified Ohm’s Law model paves the way for informed decision-making in device design and optimization.

Adults are becoming more responsive to social media nowadays. The phenomenon is offering entertainment communication platforms and becoming a source of information as well. Social media has become an important element which is affecting the academic performance of adults. The gratification theory and survey method/technique are used for analysis. The study sample was 300 students, and data were collected from the three main universities of Islamabad through a convenience sampling technique. This study showed that social media had a positive impact on university students’ performance. The result of the study also describes that if the students spend more time on their studies, their academic performance will increase, and if more time is spent on social media, their academic performance will decrease. The first and greatest disadvantage of study is that it ignores online media habits; an abundance of use may prompt harm and redirection from the core interest. Just a single scholarly foundation was engaged in the examination. The task can't be summed up completely along these lines. The investigation uncovered considerable positive results in view of the way that college understudies frequently utilize web-based media and cell phones for delight, yet additionally for instructive targets.

The second generation of intellectuals in the educational modernization of the city of Santos (1908-1930)
Authors: Faria Luiz Henrique Portela
Published: June 2024

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the city of Santos, located on the coast of São Paulo, emerged as an important urban center influenced by the ideals of progress and modernity that accompanied the recent Proclamation of the Republic in Brazil. This period of political transition was marked by intense social, economic, and cultural transformations, reflected in the practices and discourses of the intellectuals who worked in the city. Among these intellectuals, a network formed by Arthur Porchat de Assis, Adolpho Porchat de Assis, Victor de Lamare and Delphino Stockler de Lima stands out, whose work in the modernization of education in Santos between 1908 and 1930 had a significant impact on the city's educational development. This study aims to present results about the role of these intellectuals in the process of modernization of education in Santos during the First Republic. The research was based on a literature review and a survey of periodicals of the time, analyzing the discourses and practices of these subjects. The analysis reveals that education was seen as a fundamental means for the construction of a modern and progressive nation, being used as an instrument for the consolidation of republican ideals and for overcoming the memories of the old monarchical regime. The city of Santos, with its strategic port and an active intellectual elite, has become a stage for debates and initiatives aimed at educational modernization. This network of intellectuals, in particular, played a crucial role in the implementation of educational reforms and the creation of institutions that sought to meet the needs of the population, contributing to the construction of a dualistic educational system, offering one type of education to the ruling class and another type of education to the working class.
Domingo de Bouvines: reflexões sobre uma narrativa histórica
Authors: Sontag Gabriella
Published: June 2024

O artigo explora as inovações de Georges Duby na narrativa histórica através de sua obra "Domingo de Bouvines: 27 de julho de 1214". Duby redefine a abordagem das guerras e batalhas medievais, não apenas examinando estratégias militares, mas também analisando o contexto e motivações por trás dos combates. Ele compara relatos de diversas fontes sobre a Batalha de Bouvines, situando-os dentro do contexto social e mentalidade medieval. Ao fazê-lo, Duby se distancia da abordagem positivista e adota uma perspectiva da Nova História, enquanto narra um Grande Acontecimento de forma cronológica, destacando a figura do rei Filipe como um Grande Personagem. O artigo contrasta a abordagem de Duby com a narrativa positivista de batalhas, utilizando a obra de E. S. Creasy, "The Fifteen decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo". Creasy, seguindo a escola positivista, narra os eventos de forma tradicional, sem aprofundar-se nas nuances do contexto e da mentalidade medieval. Assim, o artigo examina as diferenças na narrativa histórica entre as duas vertentes historiográficas, destacando as contribuições de Duby para a história narrativa contemporânea.

China and ancient cuisine: consumption of wild animals, western stereotypes and zoonoses
Authors: Bueno Gessica de Brito , Silva Eduardo Mangolim Brandani da , Santos Christian Fausto Moraes dos
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this research is to highlight the characteristics of China's ancient cuisine, discuss the stigmas proffered by the Western media through image readings and, in the end, highlight the Western cultural horizon, with the demarcation of animal rights and concern about the emergence of zoonosis. The justification and problematic revolves around discussing the stigmas created about Chinese eating habits, the fakenews about their cuisine and the consumption of domestic and exotic animals. The methodology employed was descriptive and explanatory, as well as qualitative and bibliographical. The results obtained, through the analysis of a postcard and a virtual game about Chinese cuisine, show that there is a naturalization of stereotypes of the Chinese, something that is strongly linked to the scientific racism of the 19th century. We concluded that, although there are few outlets for these animals in China, where the number of consumers is small, it should be kept in mind that continuous contact with these species can lead to the emergence and spread of zoonoses.
Satisfaction and perceived learning in business games: analysis of the moderating role of Debriefing
Authors: Lacruz Adonai José , Salvador Adriano
Published: June 2024

This article aims to examine the impact of debriefing (a reflective stage following action) on the relationship between satisfaction and perceived learning (encompassing knowledge, skills, and attitudes [KSA]) within the context of business games. The study analyzes self-reported data from 108 eighth-semester Business Administration students across two higher education institutions in Brazil, divided into two groups: an experimental group (who underwent debriefing) and a control group (who did not). The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) . The findings of this paper do not support the hypothesis that the debriefing stage significantly influences the relationship between satisfaction and perceived learning. Therefore, it is concluded that during business games, participants engage in ex-ante reflection in the decision-making process, oversee the implementation of proposed solutions ex-cursum, and evaluate results ex-post. While the debriefing process reinforces this final stage, it does not significantly affect the relationship between satisfaction and perceived learning.

No interim, esse fenômeno tem levado a um aumento nas queixas de retração gengival, uma condição que não apenas compromete a aparência dos dentes, mas também está associada a desconfortos funcionais, como a sensibilidade dentária. A retração gengival, ou recessão gengival, é definida como a migração do tecido gengival para apical, expondo a superfície radicular do dente, e pode afetar tanto um único dente quanto múltiplos dentes. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo relatar um caso clínico no qual foi utilizada a técnica cirúrgica de recobrimento radicular com biomaterial de membrana de colágeno absorvível associado a enxerto ósseo sintético no elemento 31, destacando a metodologia aplicada e os resultados obtidos. Paciente S.O.M., 50 anos, gênero feminino, leucoderma, compareceu à clínica integrada do curso de Odontologia da Faculdade do Amazonas – IAES queixando-se de sensibilidade dentária. Após diagnóstico de retração gengival unitária tipo 2 (RT2) no elemento 31, foi planejada uma cirurgia de recobrimento radicular com membrana de colágeno absorvível e enxerto ósseo sintético. Conclui-se que, através da aplicação da técnica cirúrgica de recobrimento radicular com o uso combinado de membrana de colágeno absorvível e enxerto ósseo sintético no elemento 31, foi possível obter resultados satisfatórios em termos de melhora da condição clínica e estética do paciente. A metodologia aplicada demonstrou ser viável e segura, resultando em uma cicatrização adequada e ausência de complicações no pós-operatório imediato.

A síndrome dos ovários policísticos (SOP) é a condição clínica mais comum entre as disfunções endócrinas que afetam mulheres em idade reprodutiva, e novas alternativas terapêuticas para seu manejo são frequentemente estudadas. Esta revisão narrativa buscou analisar os efeitos da curcumina, um polifenol presente na cúrcuma, em pacientes com a síndrome, e sua possibilidade como tratamento. Os impactos da curcumina no metabolismo de pacientes com SOP foram explorados por meio da análise e comparação de estudos clínicos realizados entre 2017 e 2022. Apesar de divergências nos resultados, todos os estudos demonstraram algum tipo de benefício no uso da curcumina no tratamento da SOP, incluindo possíveis efeitos positivos no metabolismo da glicose e resistência à insulina – com redução da glicemia de jejum e outras alterações em parâmetros glicêmicos –, nas variações no perfil lipídico – com redução do colesterol total e LDL-c e aumento do HDL-c –, nos níveis hormonais – com diminuição de androgênios e aumento do estradiol-, e em características menstruais, além de outros possíveis impactos nos demais componentes avaliados. Limitações dos estudos compreendem as variações nas dosagens de curcumina, a duração do tratamento, e a representatividade e tamanho das amostras estudadas.  De forma geral, os benefícios sugeridos apontam para um papel positivo da curcumina na SOP. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas para confirmar esses achados, esclarecer divergências e estabelecer diretrizes para o uso clínico da curcumina na SOP.

El ambiente dinámico de los call centers presenta múltiples riesgos ocupacionales que afectan la salud y el bienestar de sus trabajadores, siendo crucial identificar y prevenir estos peligros para asegurar un entorno laboral seguro. Entre los riesgos físicos, destacan la ergonomía deficiente, que abarca desde malas posturas hasta la repetitividad de movimientos, causantes de trastornos musculoesqueléticos, y los riesgos visuales derivados de largas jornadas frente a pantallas de computadora, que pueden inducir a fatiga visual y al síndrome de visión por computadora. Psicosocialmente, el estrés laboral se perfila como un reto mayor, potenciado por objetivos de rendimiento estrictos, supervisión constante, y tareas monótonas. Además, el trato con clientes difíciles puede elevar el estrés psicológico y el desgaste emocional.
Para mitigar estos riesgos, es fundamental la implementación de estrategias de prevención que incluyan evaluaciones ergonómicas regulares, pausas activas, formación en gestión del estrés, y un clima laboral de apoyo. Este enfoque integral debe también considerar el impacto ambiental, como la calidad del aire, la iluminación y el ruido, que influyen considerablemente en la salud. Soluciones como la mejora de la ventilación, una iluminación adecuada, y la reducción del ruido son esenciales para complementar las medidas contra los riesgos ergonómicos y psicosociales, garantizando así la seguridad y salud ocupacional. La adopción de un enfoque holístico que aborde los riesgos físicos, psicosociales y ambientales es vital para proteger la salud de los trabajadores en los call centers, resaltando la importancia de una gestión efectiva de la salud y seguridad en estos entornos laborales.

Background and objectives: The Apgar score is a vital indicator of the baby's well-being. This study aims to compare the effects of propofol and thiopental anesthetics on babies' Apgar scores and mothers' recovery times, this study was carried out. Methods: This single-arm interventional study was conducted in Zhyan and Soma Hospital in Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region of Iraq from February 2022 to July 2022. Separate doses of propofol and thiopental were given to 140 pregnant women who were candidates for elective cesarean section in two separate groups. Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes after birth, recovery time, and hemodynamic changes before and after the intervention were evaluated and compared. Results: The results of the diastolic pressure variable after the intervention and the hemodynamic variables were significantly different in each group before and after the intervention (P<0.001). The mean recovery time in propofol and thiopental groups was 21.4 ± 2.4 and 26.0 ± 1.8 minutes, respectively, and they were statistically significantly different (p<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the Apgar score at the 5th minute between the two groups (p=0.03). In terms of the need for resuscitation after the first minute, the results were in favor of the propofol group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Propofol can be used more safely since patients who had anesthesia with it had better hemodynamics, quicker recovery times, neonates with higher Apgar scores, and less need for postpartum resuscitation.
