Authors: Ferreira Jodainy Gregorio , Souza Rosana das Graças de , Santos Gisele Barbosa dos
Published: March 2022

This paper discusses the experience gotten on PIBID (Scholarship Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation) from 2018 to January 2020 at the State School Francisco Bernardino in Juiz de Fora city, Minas Gerais. We sought to capture the perception of both the 6th-grade elementary school and freshman high school students and point out alternatives for more attractive classes that would approach their daily lives. Subsequently, it was identified clues of practical and theoretical alternatives for materials making and didactical methods that would provide dynamism to the content discussed in the 6th-grade classes. The main notes for more attractivity were the thematic closer to the students’ daily lives; better exposure of social and natural phenomena of the environment they live in; more extracurricular (outside school) activities. Some workshops were performed back in 2019 like poetry and music; “the globe in your hands”; the Landscape Geographic Game; the elaboration of the Francisco Bernardino’s School Atlas; fieldworks like a field trip to the UFJF (Federal University of Juiz de Fora) Climatological Station; and the study of the relief and its interaction with the urban area of Juiz de Fora City, using models and maps for that. It has been concluded that the elaboration of didactical activities set for geography teaching, taking as reference the school students’ interests linked to the “PIBIDians” academic knowledge, has significantly contributed to a more fluid Teaching-Learning process.

This study evaluated the phytomass variation in Brasília Botanical Garden (BBG) from 1984 to 2017 and its interaction with the surrounding area. Phytomass quantitative analysis was conducted using 35 images of the LandSat TM/ETM+/ OLI series, obtaining the variation of vegetation indexes by Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Vegetation suppression was identified and proved the effectiveness of the preservation of BBG and BBG’s Ecological Station (BBGES), adjacent to BBG. It was also observed a higher variation of the NDVI near the edge of contact with the urban grid, which suggests the negative influence of the urbanization process, and the importance of BBGES’ proximity to its preservation. Discrepancies between environmental protection and urban land use show the very need to create mechanisms allowing the dialogue between urbanization and the protection of green areas.

Published: March 2022

This study examines the impact of governance on industrial growth. Moreover, this study also examines the impact of trade openness, exchange rate, and inflation on industrial growth in the presence of good and bad governance as well as overall governance. For this purpose, data is extracted from the World Development Indicator (WDI) and World Governance Indicator (WGI) of 47 countries of developing economies from 1984 to 2020. Examining the result Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique has been applied. The result shows that an increase in governance significantly improves industrial growth. However, trade openness has a significant relation with industrial growth in well governed countries however it deteriorates in bad governed countries. Whereas improvement in trade will deteriorate the industrial growth in the overall and as well as badly governed countries. In the bad governed countries devaluation of exchange rate significantly deteriorates industrial growth in the long run. On the other hand, Inflation significantly improves industrial growth in good as well as badly governed countries. The government needs to improve governance quality, and exchange rate while badly governed countries need to impose high import duties, produce local products to meet the country's needs and provide subsidies to exporting industries.

VULCANIZATION FOR REINFORCEMENT OF RUBBER
Authors: Ikeda Y. , Miyaji K. , Ohashi T. , Nakajima T. , Junkong P.
Published: March 2022

Sulfur cross-linking reagents play critical roles not only in cross-linking rubber chains but also in controlling network morphology for reinforcement of rubber. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is clearly discovered as the main component for both roles. Especially, the importance of network inhomogeneity, which is significantly governed by the dispersion of ZnO particles, is emphasized for reinforcing rubber materials. Specifically, the formation of network domains and their continuous structures is discussed by combining the mechanical properties of the vulcanizates from the viewpoint of the reinforcement effect of rubber. Two continuous structures of network domains are termed as the network-domain cluster and network-domain network, which are observed by atomic force microscopy. The ZnO particles play a role as template for the formation of the continuous structures of network domains. The findings provide us with a practical hint for producing high-performance rubber materials.
Review on Antibiotics

Published: March 2022

An antibiotic is simply a kind of biological medication capable of killing microorganisms. Now, it is true that antibiotics are primarily used in the cure and prevention of infections, but they can also be used as an individual treatment to reduce the population of certain kinds of bacteria inside your body. Antibiotics are generally taken in order to prevent the spread of infections from one person to another. They can either inhibit the growth or kill off certain bacteria types. The most common antibiotics used to treat infections are tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, Erythromycin, or Cephalosporin. Antibiotics are known to be extremely efficient in curing any kind of infection – not just infections of the skin. There are numerous indications where antibiotics are used in the cure and prevention of infections like sinusitis, tonsillitis, asthma, ear infections, urinary tract infections, postnasal drip, colds, flu and even antibiotic-induced diarrhea. However, there are several cases where the said antibiotics are not used because of a certain reason. One major reason why antibiotics are not usually used to cure infections is that the human immune system is weakened over time. Once the immune system is weakened, bacteria of all kinds can easily take the upper hand and cause infections.

Authors: Yuki Maeda , Misako Kitae , Hiroyo Hatashita
Published: March 2022

Background: To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infections, many educational institutions began to provide on-line classes in many countries, and there are many reports of how to deal with technical issues for this kind of classes. However, there are few studies on on-line lectures published and even fewer studies focusing on on-line nursing education. Objectives: This study aims to understand the situation of on-line lectures provided by the Faculty of Nursing at University A, including the environment and learning of nursing students for the first three months of on-line study, as well as to explore time-line changes in the evaluations of the on-line lectures and physical conditions of the students. Design: Time-line surveys. Settings/Participants: Participants were 251 nursing undergraduate students of a nursing university in Japan during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: From April to July 2020, students were requested to participate in surveys through the student bulletin board available to the university, and questionnaire surveys were conducted at four time points using the Google Drive questionnaire form. Results: More than 95% of students reported that they had no problem accessing classes in the second and third surveys. More than 80% of students answered that the on-line lectures were “very good”, “reasonably good”, and “usual” in the second, third, and fourth surveys. In the third and fourth surveys, students with shoulder and lower back pain and those with psychological stress had significantly lower ratings for on-line lectures. Further when comparing students with and without psychological stress symptoms, there was a difference of 0.7 or more in the mean point value of the evaluation of on-line lectures. Conclusions: Students with psychological symptoms had more negative feelings towards on-line lectures than those with physical symptoms. This suggests that psychological symptoms may affect the continuous use of on-line lectures in the future.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the secular changes in the body height, weight, chest and head circumferences in preschool children (3-6 years) from the Smolyan region, Bulgaria, during the past 20 years. Material and methods. A transversal anthropometric study of 330 clinically healthy children, aged between 3 to 6 years from Smolyan region, Bulgaria, was performed in the period 2017-2019 (Sample B). For the aims of the analysis, earlier anthropometric data, collected by the author for 406 preschool children from the Smolyan region, aged between 3-6 years, transversally studied in the period 1996-1998 (Sample A) were also used. The height, weight, chest and head circumference have been measured for each child, as per Martin-Saller's methods. The data have been processed through the statistical package Statistica 12.0 by using analysis of variance. The Student's T-test was used a check the significance. Results. Our results show the significant increase of height and weight of boys at the age of 3 and 5 years and the weight of girls at the age of 3 and 6 years. A statistically reliable reduction in the chest and head circumferences among boys at the age of 6 years. On the grounds of these negative secular changes, the modern girls at the age of 3 years have a reliably larger chest and head circumference in comparison to their peers 20 years ago. At the same time the girls at the age of 5 years are with chest circumference, which is almost 2 cm smaller in comparison to their peers. Conclusions. Our results once again show the multidimentional character of the secular changes, which are presented, to various extents, in the various morphological systems of the body during the different stages of the ontogenesis and are different for the two genders.
