Pemberian sedekah kerap diidentikkan dengan pemberian barang berharga berupa uang atau perhiasan. Namun, sedekah juga bisa berwujud sebidang tanah untuk digunakan demi kepentingan umum. Selaras dengan pengertian sedekah, niat seseorang untuk memberikannya pun tidak dibatasi oleh kualitas tertentu. Penerapannya tidak terikat oleh aturan wujud dan kuantitas yang mau diberikan. Meski begitu, harta bukanlah satu-satunya yang bisa dijadikan objek sedekah karena masih ada macam-macam lainnya yang dianjurkan untuk diberikan secara cuma-cuma. Bila dikaitkan dengan sedekah, barang adalah sesuatu yang bermanfaat bagi orang lain dan masih dalam keadaan layak guna. Misalnya, memberikan pakaian dan sarung layak pakai atau makanan yang bergizi dan praktis untuk korban bencana alam

Authors: Shi Chang , Zhao Xinyu , Wang Yu , Tang Junxian
Published: September 2023

In recent years, many optimization methods have been raised to deal with the fuel and cost efficiency problems of the new generation cars. This study reviews two primary optimization methods, one for pure electric cars and one for hybrid vehicles, with detailed explanations. For electric vehicles, methods for designing electric powertrains that are energy efficient while sustaining vehicle dynamics and ride quality are discussed. The three characteristics of energy consumption, dynamic performance, and ride comfort are optimized using modeling, and the final optimization method is determined, which can achieve a 93.5% improvement in lightweight and a 92% improvement in power transmission. Four standard powertrain transmissions are mentioned for hybrid vehicles with advantages and limitations. The most promising multimode information is selected to work with a single EM instead of the dual EMs that conventional hybrid cars contain. The simulation results of the single-EM HEV with the MMT model and its comparison test with the "THS II-LIke'' vehicle, holding the same parameters except having dual EMs, show the well-performance of this method in energy loss. In the end, a more efficient engine, the Atkinson engine, for hybrid vehicles is illustrated to substitute the traditional otto cycle engine.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the views of teachers and fathers on father involvement and the benefits of parental involvement activities in the preschool period. The sample included 23 preschool teachers employed at public and private schools in Turkey's capital of Ankara, and fathers of 53 children in these teachers’ classrooms. This study is based on qualitative research that used an interview form to obtain data which is analyzed through content analysis. The findings of this study yield the deduction that both educators and paternal figures harbor the perception that parental involvement endeavors predominantly draw the attendance of mothers, with fathers exhibiting infrequent participation in such activities. The main reasons for fathers’ lower attendance rates for these activities are found to be working schedule and unsuitable working hours of the fathers. According to both the teachers and the fathers children are happy in terms of the benefits of parent involvement activities for the children, the family gains awareness about their child and improves itself in terms of the benefits for the family, and these activities provided easiness of communication and problem-solving with families in terms of the benefits for the school and the teacher.

Published: September 2023

Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) nosocomial diseases are rapidly spreading across the world. To treat these diseases is becoming a great challenge due to antibiotic resistance. The present study was aimed to estimate the prevalence of vancomycin resistant enterococci and to find out genes responsible for causing vancomycin resistance. One hundred different blood, wound and urine samples were collected from hospitalized patients at tertiary care health hospital, Lahore. On the basis of colony morphology, isolates of Enterococci were identified, Gram staining and biochemical tests including catalase test, Bile esculin test, growth in 6.5% NaCl, litmus milk reduction were performed. All the clinical isolates were checked for vancomycin resistant and 15% of all the samples were vancomycin resistant. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed for vancomycin resistance, enterococcal isolates to identify van genes responsible for resistance. In our study the presence of vanA gene was found in all 15 vancomycin resistant samples. vanB gene was not detected in any of the sample. The study highlights the increased VRE prevalence in clinicalisolates obtained from local hospital. The presence of vanA gene in all resistant samples is suggestive of its role as resistant gene. On the basis of these results there is an urgent need of establishing a rational antibiotic use policy for better management of enterococcal infections.

Bibliometric Review of Building Material Assessment for Energy Efficiency in Urban Digital Twins
Authors: Rocco Angelica
Published: September 2023

The construction sector exerts detrimental environmental impacts on natural ecosystems. Mitigating these impacts and reducing pollution necessitates the adoption of an assessment tool. During the design phase, decisions must factor in building typology, materials, construction techniques, dimensions, functions, and contextual considerations. Crafting solutions that effectively address all these facets presents a formidable challenge. The European Union (EU) advocates for employing the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate environmental impacts in the construction industry. This approach encompasses the entire lifecycle of a product, encompassing production, usage, and disposal stages. However, integrating additional elements such as the urban context and digital twin technologies remains intricate. Given the impending need to enhance energy efficiency in the European building stock through extensive redevelopment, this research aims to identify a robust methodology for selecting optimal building materials. This review seeks to offer an updated perspective encompassing the choice of eco-friendly building materials and the incorporation of digital twin technologies, which facilitate real-time building assessments. By amalgamating insights derived from this analysis, this research strives to contribute to a holistic framework that addresses the multifaceted aspects of sustainable construction. Such a framework would streamline the selection of environmentally conscious building materials while harnessing the potential of digital twin methodologies for rapid and precise building evaluations. Ultimately, this research aspires to bridge critical gaps in sustainable practices within the construction sector, aligning with the EU's overarching objectives of promoting greener and more efficient built environments.

Catastrophic Out-of-Pocket Expenditure on Health: Evidence from the Regions in the Philippines
Authors: Villanueva Winnie Mae DJ. , Aranas Peter John B.
Published: September 2023

This study estimates Filipino’s catastrophic and impoverishing out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare expenditures on a regional perspective to measure the effectiveness and progress of Philippines’ healthcare financing system in ensuring population protection from excessive and unequal healthcare costs. Observations are drawn from the most recent household-based survey in the Philippines, 2018 and 2021 Family Income and Expenditure Survey, and grouped by four major regions: National Capital Region, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao region. From 2018 to 2021, results showed that the distribution of catastrophic OOP healthcare expenditures decreases while depth of these payments increases across the four major regions. The highest incidences of these catastrophic payments were found in the rest of Luzon and Visayas regions, while the highest intensities were found in Mindanao region. Despite medicines and pharmaceuticals products dominance on OOP healthcare expenditures, payment on inpatient medical services drives the catastrophic expenditures of households. Aside, deepening poverty caused by healthcare payments were more evident in households residing in Mindanao regions, thus exposing this Filipino families to financial risk and poverty threats. Logistic regression analysis showed that aging households head, employment, and socio-economic status are significant and common factors affecting the likelihood of incurring excessive health expenditures across the regions. The risk of catastrophic and impoverishing effects of healthcare expenditures persists in the country. Low levels of catastrophic OOP healthcare expenditures may indicate that disadvantaged households focused on spending on basic necessities and struggle to afford healthcare due to high costs amid COVID 19, leading to foregone treatment. Thus, continuous implementation of fair and innovative ways of financing the healthcare system to reduce the financial burden of OOP payments on Filipino households is recommended.

Introdução: O estilo de vida (EV) é formado por todas as ações e percepções que o indivíduo adota. Os professores e funcionários das universidades tem importante função social dentro das instituições de ensino, contudo durante a pandemia da COVID19 houveram mudanças drásticas na forma de atuar e de viver. Objetivo: Analisar as características de EV de docentes e agentes universitários de uma universidade paranaense e identificar quais fatores mais afetaram o modo de viver dessas pessoas no momento da pandemia. Metodologia: A amostra foi composta por 63 participantes, docentes e funcionários. Todos responderam via plataforma virtual (Google Forms) o questionário EV Fantástico. Quanto mais alta a pontuação melhor, mais seguro e saudável é o EV. Resultados:  Foi identificado que os agentes, docentes e terceirizados obtiveram 60%, 37% e 50% respectivamente de EV inadequado. Na dimensão “Atividade Física” dos funcionários observou-se que, quando infectados, a atividade física foi influenciada negativamente, além disso 100% funcionários que tiveram COVID19 estavam com EV inadequado. Quando observada a dimensão “Tipo de Comportamento” do grupo docentes, as docentes apresentaram 83% de casos com perfil menos seguro e saudável. Conclusão: O EV de docentes e funcionários dessa universidade foi caracterizado predominantemente como inseguro e de maior risco à saúde, porém não foi percebida diferença no EV entre pessoas que tiveram COVID19 daquelas que não contraíram, todavia quando funcionários tiveram a infecção, todos os casos se caracterizaram com EV não seguro e saudável. Por fim, as docentes tiveram alta prevalência de estados de ansiedade, pressa e/ou raiva no EV.

The sciences related to mathematics and that have mathematics as a tool present the same kind of problem in the learning process, hence, also, in their teaching; for example, the teaching of biophysics that show problems because is an exact discipline and, also, teaching for biological areas where people, usually, don’t is familiarized with mathematics way. In this work some didactic approaches to associate the teaching of thermodynamics to Environmental Science subjects in a literature search were performed, using the concepts of new teaching methodologies, proposing an approach to improve the conditions of understanding about environmental problems. A bibliographic survey was carried out by searching for data on thermodynamics, teaching, environmental sciences within the CAPES periodicals platform, which allows finding texts in other databases such as Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science. Additional material was obtained by searching in Google Academic. The main works consulted dealt more specifically with “exact sciences education”, “environmental education”, “biophysics education”, “environmental” and others. In total, 42 texts were analyzed and separated by subject content 21 about exact sciences education, 8 about environment education, 5 about biophysics education, 5 about environment and 3 for other subjects used to justify some ideas. Final considerations: In conclusion, the deficits in the teaching of exact sciences with a focus on thermodynamics are real in teaching in Brazil, with practical evidence in the discipline on Environmental Sciences in a graduate course, but whose students' distress in learning mobilized a path of studies in the production of a work to alert and indicate ways, within the modern technologies of teaching, to assist the teaching of thermodynamics in education since elementary school. So, it is urgent that the teaching of environmental sciences is improved, that modern teaching technologies are made effective in teaching with an emphasis on the exact sciences, so that a more robust education allows important themes to be deepened in higher and post-graduate education with at least less discomfort for students and teachers.

Este trabalho objetivou mensurar o impacto da luz solar como fator protetor para morte pela COVID-19 nos estados brasileiros, uma vez que a exposição ao sol é uma das fontes mais utilizadas para absorção de vitamina D e o aumento dos seus níveis no organismo humano pode combater diversas patologias. Para isso, controlou-se os efeitos das características climáticas dos estados, das medidas de distanciamento social impostas compulsoriamente pelos governos estaduais através de decretos e da adesão da população ao isolamento social medido pelo índice de isolamento social. Além disso, controlou-se os efeitos que as taxas referentes à COVID-19 sofrem no tempo e no espaço, fazendo uso de   modelos espaciais dinâmicos para dados em painel. Os resultados mostraram que as taxas de morte pela COVID-19 no período corrente apresentam relação positiva e significante tanto das taxas ocorridas no período anterior como daquelas ocorridas nos estados vizinhos no período corrente e na véspera ao fazer uso das variáveis defasadas no tempo e no espaço. As variáveis climáticas também se mostraram preditoras das taxas de mortes COVID-19, indicando que estados com maior número de horas efetivas de luz do sol, maior temperatura e maior humidade relativa, têm uma diminuição nas suas taxas de morte pela COVID-19.
Evaluation of municipal solid waste management in the state of Amazonas

Published: September 2023

The improper management of solid waste and the absence of resources and environmental education software are threatening the rivers of the Amazon region, that together form the greater freshwater basin in the world. In these terms, the general objective of this research is to evaluate the current situation of the management of urban solid waste in the cities of that state. The present research is organised in bibliographic and documental search, characterization of the area of investigation, and elaboration and application of questionnaires for data collection. Of the 62 towns that belongs to the territory of Amazonas, the research has collected information about 31, which corresponds to 50% of the area of investigation. The results indicate that 68% of the cities have the Municipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management, while 32% did not elaborate their plans, failing to receive resources of the Federal Government which would be destined specifically to the services of management and operation of the solid waste. It was observed similar characteristics in the cities that did not have their plans elaborated, being all of minor size and located in isolated areas of the Amazon region, with access only by transport by river, fact that complicates the actions pertinent to the theme, as occurs with the final disposition of the solid waste. Among the cities that were investigated, none of them arrange their solid waste in appropriate environmentally conditions, prevailing the archaic way of disposal, the open sky landfills, that causes the degradation of the ground and hydric bodies, which are the top means of subsistence of the amazon population. The conclusion is that the management of solid waste represents one of the biggest challenges of basic sanitation in the state of Amazonas and such matter requires to be prioritized urgently, given the risk of the degradation of the natural resources of the region.
Análise da dinâmica espaço temporal da vegetação da sub-bacia hidrográfica do Igarapé D’Alincourt

A partir dos processos de colonização da região de Rolim de Moura - RO, as intervenções antrópicas transformaram completamente a paisagem, trazendo sérias consequências aos recursos hídricos da região. Chegando ao ponto deste município amazônico ter como uma das maiores preocupações a escassez de água potável para o abastecimento urbano. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a dinâmica espaço temporal do índice de vegetação NDVI na detecção de transformações fisiográficas na sub-bacia hidrográfica do Igarapé D’Alincourt, entre os anos de 2005, 2008, 2015 e 2021. Para  isso,  foram  utilizadas  ferramentas  de  geotecnologia  com  o  objetivo  de  analisar  a  dinâmica  espacial  e  temporal  da  vegetação  da área de estudos.  Foi  realizada  a  espacialização  e  quantificação  da  vegetação da bacia, identificando as mudanças ocorridas nos anos analisados. Foi utilizado o NDVI obtido através do processamento de imagens de satélite. Os resultados apontam que uma grande porção do território da sub-bacia do Igarapé D’Alincourt é ocupada por vegetação com pouca densidade, a maior parte é pastagem. Constatou-se que apesar dessa área estar fortemente antropizada e com um processo de degradação avançado, é possível recuperar tais áreas, do ponto de vista da vegetação. Entre 2005 e 2021 houve incremento de 7,61% na vegetação densa, aumento significativo da densidade da cobertura vegetal. Esses resultados evidenciam que a presença do Estado enquanto fiscalizador e garantidor do cumprimento da legislação ambiental aliado a expertise das ONGs que militam nessa causa, fazem com os projetos de recuperação de áreas degradadas tenham maior êxito e contribui para a diminuição dos impactos negativos sobre o regime hidrológico.
