Published: July 2023

Este artigo problematiza a concepção da Teoria do Currículo Itinerante de autoria do professor João Paraskeva, a partir da análise de uma imagem que ocupa lugar central na cultura escolar. A imagem é uma tirinha, protagonizada pelos personagens Armandinho, Camilo, Etiene, Fê, Theo e Pudim, produzida pelo artista Alexandre Beck, a qual nos endereça às práticas culturais do olhar, que constroem e influenciam nossos modos de ver, pensar, ensinar e fazer o currículo, às práticas pedagógicas e aos conteúdos escolares. Assim, esse texto encontra-se inserido nos campos de teorização dos Estudos da Cultura Visual e dos Estudos Curriculares Contemporâneos. Busca-se uma análise da tirinha acionada pela ferramenta conceitual do currículo itinerante, que nos auxilia a compreender as imagens de Beck como uma possibilidade que escapa às ordens estabelecidas pela escola e pelo conhecimento hegemônico legitimado pelo currículo.
Advancing perspectives in geomorphology – An apotheosis to sustainable natural spaces and eudaemonic citizenry in the 21st century
Authors: Mukherjee Sucheta
Published: July 2023

Geomorphology deals with analysis of geo features that occur in a spatial array and develop over a temporal frame. In modern times investigations in geomorphology have progressed with the application of concrete theories of pure geomorphology and techniques of applied geomorphology for modelling future interpolations and projections affecting the Earth’s natural systems. The scale and temporal frame of landform alteration by climate-induced processes (flowing water, glaciers, wind and marine processes) are important indicators of climate change. The integration of applied studies in natural processes and their probable impact on social milieu now requires greater accuracy. The subfields of geomorphology all have now developed multidisciplinary nature and effectively are being integrated in investigations with trans-disciplinary scope. The rapid progress in digital mapping capacities helps to monitor and assess geomorphic processes and estimate their impact on citizenry with precision. Digitization in cartography facilitates and mitigates disaster management in an integrated manner. Adequate planning and budgetary allocations for disaster management by planners and policy makers are simplified. This paper discusses the recent development of latest sub-disciplines in geomorphology, discussing how broad its scope has developed to cater to societal welfare that aims at millennium sustainable development and contented citizenry.

Published: July 2023

Ukrainian citizens, fleeing from the war, find themselves in Poland, including towns directly bordering Ukraine, e.g. located in the Biała Podlaska district. Children of Ukrainian refugees are subject to compulsory education in Poland and attend schools of their choice together with children of Polish origin. The educational activities carried out by the schools include the formation of social skills. Therefore, the need arose to carry out pedagogical research aimed to determine the level of social skills of children attending intercultural classes (in terms of communication, sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others and showing help). The article presents results of study conducted among 121 children aged 6–7 in several primary schools in the Biala Podlaska district of the Lubelskie voivodeship. Statistical analysis of the research results showed differences in the level of some of the children’s social skills. The highest variation in the studied group of children was found in the assessment of the following skills: control of one’s emotions and the ability to speak about one’s own feelings.

Authors: Remiszewska Zofia
Published: July 2023

The paper is a research report aimed at explaining the influence of parents’ behavior related to the upbringing of the surveyed university students on their self-control. The article raises the issue of academic youth, but narrows it down to their self-control, so important in the process of identity formation. The results of the conducted research are addressed primarily to parents and educators. The first part of the article emphasizes the importance of self-control in building a human identity, it also presents the basic concepts of the discussed issues. For the purposes of this article, appropriate research was carried out to explain the impact of upbringing mistakes made by the parents of the researched students on individual dimensions of their self-control. The causal relationship between upbringing mistakes and self-control factors was determined in the causal model of the studied phenomenon and derived from the path analysis. The text ends with an interpretation of the obtained results, as well as conclusions from the outcomes of the conducted research.

Wood surface charring is a treatment method commonly employed to enhance weather protection and aesthetic appearance of building exteriors. This study aims to investigate the differences between two wood surface charring processes: the traditional Japanese method known as Yakisugi and an alternative charring technique industrially manufactured with a gas burner. The objective of the study was to assess whether a thicker layer after Yakisugi treatment has any advantages over a thinner layer after the alternative process. Vibrational spectroscopy techniques including UV resonance Raman (UVRR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, were utilized in conjunction with X-ray-micro-CT analysis. The findings revealed that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy detected the degradation of carbohydrates and changes in lignin within the charred surface, although both processes exhibited similar vibrational contributions. In contrast, UVRR spectroscopy provided insights into the carbonized layers, revealing spectral differences indicating variations in temperature during the charring processes. X-ray micro-CT analysis visually highlighted significant differences in the coal layers, suggesting distinct combustion profiles. Remarkably, the macrostructure of wood treated with Yakisugi remained intact despite a thicker charred layer compared to the alternative charring techniques. However, further investigations are required to assess the weather stability of the alternative charring method for a comprehensive understanding.

Gyöngyösi-kontextusok a 18–19. század fordulóján
Authors: Pálfy Eszter
Published: July 2023

Gyöngyösi István költészetének recepciótörténetét számos szaktanulmányból ismeri az irodalomtörténet-írás. Jelen tanulmány a költőről a 18–19. század fordulóján megfogalmazott, azóta közhellyé vált ítéletek közül vesz sorra néhányat, és vizsgálja őket elsődleges kontextusukban. Arra keresi a választ, hogy a rendszerezett irodalomtörténet-írás korszakát megelőzően milyen irodalmi és kulturális tényezők formálták a Gyöngyösiről való gondolkodást. A tanulmány három szerző, Gvadányi József, Kazinczy Ferenc és Kölcsey Ferenc kijelentéseinek vizsgálatával törekszik a recepciótörténeti narratíva árnyalására. Egyik következtetése, hogy a három szerző Gyöngyösi-értékelése elsősorban nem magáról Gyöngyösiről szól, hanem saját koruk aktuális dilemmáiról: Gvadányi esetében a magyar hagyomány és a külföldi divatok ellentétéről, Kazinczynál szoros értelemben vett nyelvi és poétikai-verselési kérdésekről, Kölcseynél pedig a magyar nemzeti költészet hiányáról és megteremtésének lehetőségeiről.

Activation of Basal Forebrain Astrocytes Induces Wakefulness without Compensatory Changes in Sleep Drive
Authors: Ingiosi Ashley M. , Hayworth Christopher R. , Frank Marcos G.
Published: July 2023

Mammalian sleep is regulated by a homeostatic process that increases sleep drive and intensity as a function of prior wake time. Sleep homeostasis has traditionally been thought to be a product of neurons, but recent findings demonstrate that this process is also modulated by glial astrocytes. The precise role of astrocytes in the accumulation and discharge of sleep drive is unknown. We investigated this question by selectively activating basal forebrain (BF) astrocytes using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) in male and female mice. DREADD activation of the Gq-protein-coupled pathway in BF astrocytes produced long and continuous periods of wakefulness that paradoxically did not cause the expected homeostatic response to sleep loss (e.g., increases in sleep time or intensity). Further investigations showed that this was not because of indirect effects of the ligand that activated DREADDs. These findings suggest that the need for sleep is not only driven by wakefulness per se, but also by specific neuronal-glial circuits that are differentially activated in wakefulness.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSleep drive is controlled by a homeostatic process that increases sleep duration and intensity based on prior time spent awake. Non-neuronal brain cells (e.g., glial astrocytes) influence this homeostatic process, but their precise role is unclear. We used a genetic technique to activate astrocytes in the basal forebrain (BF) of mice, a brain region important for sleep and wake expression and sleep homeostasis. Astroglial activation induced prolonged wakefulness without the expected homeostatic increase in sleep drive (i.e., sleep duration and intensity). These findings indicate that our need to sleep is also driven by non-neuronal cells, and not only by time spent awake.
Direct and Indirect Nociceptive Input from the Trigeminal Dorsal Horn to Pain-Modulating Neurons in the Rostral Ventromedial Medulla
Authors: De Preter Caitlynn C. , Heinricher Mary M.
Published: July 2023

The brain is able to amplify or suppress nociceptive signals by means of descending projections to the spinal and trigeminal dorsal horns from the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM). Two physiologically defined cell classes within RVM, “ON-cells” and “OFF-cells,” respectively facilitate and inhibit nociceptive transmission. However, sensory pathways through which nociceptive input drives changes in RVM cell activity are only now being defined. We recently showed that indirect inputs from the dorsal horn via the parabrachial complex (PB) convey nociceptive information to RVM. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there are also direct dorsal horn inputs to RVM pain-modulating neurons. We focused on the trigeminal dorsal horn, which conveys sensory input from the face and head, and used a combination of single-cell recording with optogenetic activation and inhibition of projections to RVM and PB from the trigeminal interpolaris-caudalis transition zone (Vi/Vc) in male and female rats. We determined that a direct projection from ventral Vi/Vc to RVM carries nociceptive information to RVM pain-modulating neurons. This projection included a GABAergic component, which could contribute to nociceptive inhibition of OFF-cells. This approach also revealed a parallel, indirect, relay of trigeminal information to RVM via PB. Activation of the indirect pathway through PB produced a more sustained response in RVM compared with activation of the direct projection from Vi/Vc. These data demonstrate that a direct trigeminal output conveys nociceptive information to RVM pain-modulating neurons with a parallel indirect pathway through the parabrachial complex.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTRostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) pain-modulating neurons respond to noxious stimulation, which implies that they receive input from pain-transmission circuits. However, the traditional view has been that there is no direct input to RVM pain-modulating neurons from the dorsal horn, and that nociceptive information is carried by indirect pathways. Indeed, we recently showed that noxious information can reach RVM pain-modulating neurons via the parabrachial complex (PB). Usingin vivoelectrophysiology and optogenetics, the present study identified a direct relay of nociceptive information from the trigeminal dorsal horn to physiologically identified pain-modulating neurons in RVM. Combined tracing and electrophysiology data revealed that the direct projection includes GABAergic neurons. Direct and indirect pathways may play distinct functional roles in recruiting pain-modulating neurons.

Nickel sulfides nanocrystals may be regarded as promising of materials in different research areas such as catalysts, solar cells, and electrode-materials. (Z)-2-(pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) thiourea ligand and (Z)-2-(pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) thiourea based nickel (II) complex have been prepared and utilized as single source molecular precursor for the synthesis of nickel sulfide nanoparticles and thin films. The effect of temperature was studies during the synthetic processes. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized with various instruments. UV-Vis spectroscopy results of the nanoparticles were red shifting when the reaction temperature was increased whereas the blue shift was observed when the temperature was elevated during the preparation of the NiS thin films with the optical band gap energies ranging from 2.79 eV - 3.56 eV. All the XRD patterns for the NiS thin films confirm the predominance of pure hexagonal phase.

In this study, RF-sputtering was used to hydrothermally produce zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) on the seed layer of ZnO/Glass substrates. at different thicknesses (t1 = 1135 nm, t2 = 1306 nm, t3 = 1437 nm, t4 = 1533 nm). The structural properties were studied by X-ray diffraction, which showed that ZnO NRs and the seed layer films are polycrystalline with the same preferred reflection for the (002) plane, and the grain size of the seed layer ranges between 19.51 nm and 30.45 nm for thicknesses t1 and t4, respectively. The measurements of the FESEM showed aspect ratios for ZnO NRs ranging from 3.03 for t1 to 4.9 for t4, with growth in different shapes: ZnO NR rods for t1, flowers and rod-like shapes for thicknesses of t2 and t3, and hexagonal-rod-like shapes in t4. Optical measurements showed a decrease in the transmittance and an increase in the energy gap values with increasing thickness.
SENTIMENT CLASSIFICATION OF TWEETS WITH EXPLICIT WORD NEGATIONS AND EMOJI USING DEEP LEARNING
Authors: Ijairi Mdurvwa Usiju , Abdullahi Mohammed , Hassan Ibrahim Hayatu
Published: July 2023

The widespread use of social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn have had a huge impact on daily human interactions and decision-making. Owing to Twitter's widespread acceptance, users can express their opinions/sentiments on nearly any issue, ranging from public opinion, a product/service, to even a specific group of people. Sharing these opinions/sentiments results in a massive production of user content known as tweets, which can be assessed to generate new knowledge. Corporate insights, government policy formation, decision-making, and brand identity monitoring all benefit from analyzing the opinions/sentiments expressed in these tweets. Even though several techniques have been created to analyze user sentiments from tweets, social media engagements include negation words and emoji elements that, if not properly pre-processed, would result in misclassification. The majority of available pre-processing techniques rely on clean data and machine learning algorithms to annotate sentiment in unlabeled texts. In this study, we propose a text pre-processing approach that takes into consideration negation words and emoji characteristics in text data by translating these features into single contextual words in tweets to minimize context loss. The proposed preprocessor was evaluated on benchmark Twitter datasets using four deep learning algorithms: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The results showed that LSTM performed better than the approaches already discussed in the literature, with an accuracy of 96.36%, 88.41%, and 95.39%. The findings also suggest that pre-processing information like emoji and explicit word negations aids in the preservation of sentimental information. This appears to be the first study to classify sentiments in tweets while accounting for both explicit word negation conversion and emoji translation.

Interpretation of legal guidelines can vary widely-relying at the occasions dealing with a rustic and its political structure-in different words, whether or not it's miles an autocracy or democracy. Acts of terrorism were described as moves intentionally fascinated by malice and the purpose to destabilize or wreck the essential political, constitutional, financial and/or social structure. The paper finds out that the country's anti-terrorism legislation is critical. The key law under consideration is the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act 2013. The paper strongly suggests that in order for the Nigerian government to fulfil its counter-terrorism objectives, it must change its attention to tackling the underlying fundamental causes of terrorism. Furthermore, the work suggested that, for long-term sustainable solutions, the opportunity to engage-and address the concerns of-the entire population, including marginalized segments of the population who offer passive resistance to terrorist and outlaw groups, is at the heart of a successful counter-terrorism campaign. Most individuals are inclined to approve such a strategy if they can see evidence of success and can envisage even modest but progressive changes. It is only by their active participation and collaboration will the political leadership be able to capture the hearts and minds of the people, particularly Nigeria's youth, and act on the enormous prospects for Nigeria's economic, social, and intellectual advancement.

Cases of violations of ASN discipline are like an iceberg phenomenon, the number of cases that appear on the surface/reported doesn't seem that many, but of course there are still many uninformed cases, this is a concern in itself. Even though the rules contained in Government Regulation Number 53 of 2010 have been implemented concerning PNS/ASN Discipline, cases of disciplinary violations still occur. One of the reasons for the stipulation of PP No. 53 of 2010 concerning Discipline for Civil Servants as a substitute for PP no. 30 of 1980 concerning the discipline of Civil Servants due to the demands of society for improving the performance and service of civil servants in line with the implementation of bureaucratic reforms. In addition to PP No. 53 of 2010, the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) has also prepared a replacement for PP no. 10 of 1979 concerning the evaluation of the implementation of the work of civil servants, which so far is known as DP3, namely PP No. 46 of 2014.

Published: July 2023

Dari bulan oktober sampai November 2020, Inggris, Jerman dan Jepang telah memusnahkan lebih dari 3 juta unggas karena terinfeksi virus flu burung. Pada bulan februari tahun 2021 rusia melaporkan kasus penularan virus flu burung varian H5N8 pada pekerja peternakan unggas. Virus ini disebarkan melalui unggas terinfeksi ke unggas rentan dan unggas terinfeksi ke manusia rentan serta manusia terinfeksi dengan manusia rentan. Pemberian vaksin pada unggas merupakan salah satu cara menekan penyebaran virus flu burung. Sehingga Dibentuk sebuah penelitian untuk membangun model matematika penyebaran virus flu burung, mencari titik kestabilan dari model yang dibuat dan pembuatan simulasi numerik. Penelitian ini menghasilkan model S,I,T,R,Sb,Ib,Vb dengan adanya pemberian treatment kepada manusia terinfeksi (I) dan vaksinasi burung rentan (Vb) dalam populasi burung dan manusia konstan,: (a) titik ekuilibrium P0 stabil asimtotik lokal untuk kondisi R01 dan r01 (b) titik ekuilibrium P0 tidak stabil dan P1 stabil asimtotik lokal untuk kondisi R01 dan r01 dan (c) titik ekuilibrium P0 dan P1 tidak stabil serta P2 stabil asimtotik lokal untuk kondisi R01 dan r01. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh beberapa fakta yaitu semakin kecil nilai peluang kontak unggas rentan dengan unggas terinfeksi dan kontak manusia rentan dengan manusia terinfeksi serta semakin besar nilai proporsi manusia yang diberi treatment dan burung rentan yang diberikan vaksin maka akan memperkecil populasi manusia yang terinfeksi virus flu burung.
