Published: August 2024

Radiotherapy has been widely used to treat cancer, including breast cancer treatment, which can be given after patients undergo mastectomy procedures. This study aims to evaluate tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning in post-mastectomy breast cancer radiation therapy. Twenty clinical breast cancer treatment plans delivered using 3DCRT were evaluated retrospectively. The IMRT plans were created for the same patients. The dose-volume histograms of each plan were extracted from the Treatment Planning System (TPS) computer which were then used to compute the TCP and NTCP for each plan. The TCP was calculated using the Poisson model and the NTCP was calculated using the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) model. The NTCP was calculated for normal lung tissue, heart, esophagus, and spinal cord. The results show that the TCP of the 3DCRT and IMRT plans are not significantly different, with a value of above 99 %. The NTCP of the left lung is lower in the IMRT plans while the NTCP of the esophagus is lower in the 3DCRT plans. The NTCP for the heart, spinal cord, and right normal lung are zero in all plans.

Published: August 2024

Chemical etching is a crucial process in materials science that involves controlling material removal through chemical reactions. It offers precise surface manipulation for various applications. In this study, the focus was on investigating the influence of temperature and etching solution concentration on the corrosion rate and surface roughness of aluminum alloy 2024. A range of temperatures (from 35 to 65°C) was selected with increments of 5 °C. Three concentrations (9, 20 and 29 Be) of the etching solution (ferric chloride) were examined. The experimental results revealed that both the corrosion rate and surface roughness increased with higher temperatures and concentrations. The values of corrosion rate and surface roughness varied from 1.15 x 10-4 mm/min and 1.208 μm, respectively at 35 °C, to 1.291x10-3 mm/min and 7.431 μm, respectively at 65 °C. However, the effect of temperature was found to be more significant than that of concentration for the range under study. Understanding the relationship between temperature, concentration, corrosion rate, and surface roughness in chemical etching of Al-2024 enables the optimization of the process for tailored material properties. This can be helpful in industrial application fields that require precise surface manipulation, such as automotive, airplanes, aerospace, medical, households and consumer electronics

Published: August 2024

This article refers to a completed research on a remarkable moment experienced throughout the Brazilian educational context: the unexpected transition from face-to-face to remote teaching, during the period of social isolation, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The focus of the research was directed to Professional and Technological Education, with the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes) as the locus of the investigation, covering the movement of implementation of non-face-to-face pedagogical activities (APNPs) in the institution, in a period of remote classes and flexible return to face-to-face classes. It is, therefore, a research that seeks to problematize the implementation of these practices with emphasis on the perspectives of curricular integration and integral human formation, as well as highlights the connections that occurred between the use of digital technologies and the integrated curriculum in the context of technical courses integrated with high school. As theoretical assumptions, the ideas of authors considered as references for the study of the themes of work and education, integral human formation, integrated curriculum, Professional and Technological Education (EPT) and digital technologies applied to the school context, such as: Frigotto, Ciavatta and Ramos (2005); Mancorda (2017); Kuenzer (2002); Mill (2014); Kenski (2011); Bacich, Neto and Trevisani (2015); Pischetola (2018) and Moran (2007). The approach used in the research is qualitative, exploratory, with emphasis on research with daily life and presents as its main methodological resource the semi-structured interview. As a result of the research, it is highlighted that after the pandemic period, digital technologies began to be more used in the context of Integrated High School (EMI) courses, as well as reaffirming the need for the use of these technologies to be increasingly present in classrooms. The research thus points to the expansion of the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) in curricular practices, being necessary to guarantee adequate working conditions, as well as the realization of permanent teacher training processes. During the research, an educational product was also produced, consisting of a continuing education course for teachers (in E-book and MOOC formats) entitled "Digital technologies applied to Integrated High School in the context of Professional and Technological Education", with emphasis on contents, resources and procedures for pedagogical practices, seeking to collaborate with the expansion of the use of these technological tools in Integrated High School, in addition to contributing to the integral human formation of students.

Authors: Serbeto Victoria Martins , Senra Jaqueline Dias , de Souza Elizabeth Teixeira
Published: August 2024

According to an interview conducted by the cosmetics company AVON, about 46% of the 1000 black women interviewed have difficulties finding makeup for black skin tones. This research highlights the persistent difficulty faced by Black-skinned individuals in finding makeup products that suit their skin tone, leading many to resort to improvised solutions during the makeup process. In this context, the proposed work aims to explore the relevance of makeup for black skin as an educational tool in the teaching of chemistry. The planned activities aim not only to make students aware of the scarcity of foundation options available for the various shades of black skin, but also to connect this problem with the chemical principles underlying the formulation of cosmetics. In this way, students will be encouraged to reflect on how the science of chemistry can be applied to solve societal issues and promote inclusivity, while also deepening their understanding of fundamental chemical concepts. In addition to promoting self-knowledge about black identity, the approach to makeup for black skin as a tool in the teaching of chemistry seeks to bring students closer to the discipline in a playful way. This is done through an active methodology, which includes hands-on experimentation and a quiz on Google Forms to understand the difficulties students face when looking for makeup suitable for black skin tones.

Healthy eating: Portugal's proposal to improve health through public health
Authors: Salomão Devani
Published: August 2024

This reflection is the result of the analysis of two Biannual Progress Reports that refer to the Integrated Strategy for the Promotion of Healthy Eating - EIPAS, which establishes as a priority "to promote health through Public Health, assuming as fundamental the policy of promoting healthy eating" (Order No. 11.418/2017, 29/12/2017). Inadequate eating habits are one of the main risk factors for early mortality in the Portuguese population. Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) - cardiovascular, diabetes, obesity and oncological - are diseases with a high prevalence in the Portuguese population, with cardiovascular diseases being the main cause of death in the country. The aim was to expand the evidence related to healthy eating policy and form a basis for more specific future research. Methodology: field research and bibliographic sources, as well as content analysis of two reports. Results: In the content analysis, the categories that appear most often are "healthy eating", "communication" and "public administration". We observed the preponderance of the subject "healthy eating" in the texts of the reports. Communication had good emphasis. It is inferred that the Ministry of Health (public administration) intends to try to establish a common point in the narratives between experts and citizens, so that people can better understand and thus be able to decide on what is recommended in the various aspects of healthy eating and health, both in the material analyzed and in other media.

Wind energy, which is a renewable energy source, is inexhaustible, clean and free. Renewable energy sources, especially wind energy, offer many environmental and economic benefits in contrast to fossil energy sources. The potential and characteristics of wind energy in the northern coastal area of ​​Cirebon Regency are very good. This can be seen from the measurement results of an average wind speed of 3.3 m/s during the day between 10:00-15:00 WIB, which is suitable for a 100 W mini power plant. The distribution of wind speed is quite even with a range of 2.7-3.9 m/s. The neodymium type wind turbine generator design is capable of utilizing wind energy at low speeds of 2.7-3.6 m/s. The generator is specifically designed for low speeds so that it can operate and produce voltages above 11 Volts even in low wind conditions. This study uses experimental methods, system design and data analysis. The measurement results show that the generator is capable of working in the wind speed range of 2.7-3.6 m/s and produces a voltage above 11 V. There is a positive relationship between wind speed, generator rotation, and output voltage. This study is motivated by maximizing renewable energy sources and offering new solutions to reduce dependence on State Electricity Company in the region. It can be concluded that the neodymium generator is effective as an alternative electricity source because it is able to work at various wind speeds and produce adequate electrical power.

Early seedling vigour, a key trait in rice cultivation, significantly impacts plant establishment, growth and yield. The study applies path analysis to assess various rice traits and their direct and indirect contributions to early seedling vigour aiming to enhance breeding strategies for resilient rice varieties. A total of 168 rice genotypes from the 3K rice panel were evaluated for early seedling vigour traits under laboratory conditions. Key traits measured included germination percentage, seedling length, shoot length, root length, total fresh weight and total dry weight at 7 days after keeping for germination. Correlation studies showed germination percentage, seedling length, shoot length, root length, total fresh weight and total dry weight traits had significantly positive relationships with seedling vigour indices I and II. Path coefficient analysis identified positive direct effect on seedling vigour index I was exerted by germination percentage, seedling length, root length, shoot length and total dry weight and negative direct effect by total fresh weight. In case of Seedling vigour index II, positive direct effect was exerted via germination percentage, shoot length and total dry weight and negative direct effect via seedling length, root length and total fresh weight. Path results highlighted that, total dry weight as the most crucial trait with the highest positive effects on seedling vigour index II. Our findings indicate that selecting for these traits can effectively improve early seedling vigour in rice hybrids, aiding in the development of superior rice varieties for direct seeded condition.
