Sacred Texts and Jewish Humanoids
Authors: Schleicher Marianne
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on the human creation of artificial creatures, especially the golem, as a religious phenomenon in early and medieval rabbinic Judaism. Motivated by the scarcity of scholarly reflections on sacred text use as part of golem-related practices, it inquires into the effects of this entanglement on religious identities. A processual, new materialistic understanding of all phenomena and the author’s distinction between hermeneutical and artefactual uses of sacred texts and between sacred texts and sacred textures constitute the article’s theoretical apparatus. The analysis opens by looking at the first usages of the word “golem” in Psalm 139, the Mishnah, and a few early midrashim, connoting matter about to be formed by God and Torah while claiming at the same time insights into divine creation. From here, it turns to two texts associated with the mystical bereshit-tradition: the Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin 65b that contains the first description of the human making of an artificial being, and Sefer Yetsirah, a book that also claims insights into divine cosmogonic and anthropogenic processes. In the medieval material, primarily from the context of Ashkenazic piety, the analysis sorts the information on golem-making after a three-year study of Sefer Yetsirah into the tripartite structure of a rite of passage to illustrate the ritual’s transformative effect on the golem-makers’ religious status. The analysis concludes that especially fragmentary renderings of sacred textures are seminal in the golem-makers’ ritual. Had one limited the understanding of sacred text use to a matter of hermeneutics, that is, interpretation proper, one would have overlooked the central sacred text practices that render this anthropogenic ritual an expression of imitatio dei and piety.
Numerical analysis of cracking in doweled concrete pavements
Authors: Aure Temesgen W. , Ioannides Anastasios M.
Published: February 2025

This study conducts a comprehensive numerical analysis of crack propagation in concrete pavement slabs with doweled joints, utilising the finite element software ABAQUS 6.9-2. The investigation employs traction-separation cohesive elements to model the fracture process, adhering to the principles of the fictitious crack model. The analysis encompasses both wheel loading and thermal curling effects to understand their influence on pavement behaviour. Key parameters under scrutiny include joint width, idealisation of dowel–concrete interaction, and dowel slip. Results show that increasing the initial joint opening (from 5  to 20 mm) slightly reduces system stiffness, evidenced by a decrease in the slope of the load–displacement curve, but has minimal impact on peak load capacity (∼200 kN). Dowel–concrete interaction is a critical factor, with dowel slip reducing peak load capacity by up to 20% and load transfer efficiency dropping from 0.705 (fully bonded) to 0.696 (friction coefficient = 0.01). Thermal gradients significantly affect performance, with daytime temperature conditions reducing peak load resistance to ∼80 kN, compared with ∼423 kN at nighttime. The findings highlight the suitability of cohesive elements for fracture analysis and suggest improvements for rational failure criteria in mechanistic-empirical pavement design frameworks.
Harnessing β-cyclodextrin and zinc oxide nanoparticles for fabricating functional textiles

Published: February 2025

This study targeted to explore the inclusion of β-cyclodextrin and/or zinc oxide nanoparticles as novel sustainable additives for the fabrication of viscose fabric having several multi-functional characteristics. Surface coating via esterification reaction was used to add antibacterial and ultraviolet protection properties as biomedical applications and dry wrinkle recovery angle (DWRA) and tensile strength (TS) as tactile/sensorial comfort properties in addition to air and water vapor permeability as physical-comfort aspects to viscose. The binding of β-CD and ZnO-NPs to viscose fabrics was confirmed using FTIR, SEM, and add-on%. The obtained results revealed that (a) notable comparable dry wrinkle recovery in presence of β-CD without significantly affecting the tensile strength of the coated finished fabrics; (b) a notable improvement in antibacterial activity and ultraviolet protection factors were achieved; (c) a slight reduction in both air and water vapor permeability values but the results were still comparable; (d) the results remained durable after three washing cycles, demonstrating the potential of β-CD and ZnO-NPs in the development of functional textiles; and (e) an integrated mechanism was also projected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study for incorporating β-CD and ZnO-NPs onto viscose fabric using this type of coating technique.

Published: February 2025

Particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) represent significant sources of indoor and outdoor air pollution, posing major health risks. Nanofiber membranes, known for their robust strength, extensive specific surface area, and flexibility, have found widespread use in filtration applications. In this study, Pt/Co3O4-CeO2@PI nanofiber filters with catalytic properties were successfully fabricated using electrospinning, wet impregnation, and thermal treatment techniques. Tests conducted at room temperature demonstrated the filters’ effectiveness in treating particulate matter and removing VOCs. Notably, the filter containing 0.1 wt% Co3O4-CeO2@PI exhibited the highest removal efficiency, achieving 88.2% formaldehyde removal and 87.17% toluene removal. After multiple cycles, both removal rates remained above 75%. Furthermore, the filter showed impressive performance in PM0.3 filtration, achieving an efficiency of 98.13% at elevated temperatures. These findings underscore the promising potential of Pt/Co3O4-CeO2@PI nanofiber filters for air purification applications
Notificações de violações de direitos a partir do SIPIA em Maceió, Alagoas
Authors: Silva Gisele da Luz Freire , Miura Paula Orchiucci
Published: February 2025

A notificação é um instrumento que viabiliza o registro e a notoriedade de dados epidemiológicos acerca da situação da violência contra crianças e adolescentes na sociedade brasileira. Objetivou-se analisar a evolução histórica e as características das notificações de direitos violados de crianças e adolescentes, registradas pelos Conselhos Tutelares de Maceió, Alagoas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental sobre o perfil epidemiológico da violência contra crianças e adolescentes de Maceió, Alagoas, a partir de dados disponíveis no Sistema de Informação para Infância e Adolescência (SIPIA), no período de 2011 a 2022. Foram encontrados 576 registros de violações de direitos, com números de casos notificados nos últimos 3 anos. Os dados apontam que crianças (88,5%) foram mais vitimadas que adolescentes (11,5%), 58% das vítimas eram do sexo feminino, 34,4% eram da cor parda. A violência física destacou-se em 75,1% dos casos; em seguida, a violência sexual (abuso) (14,2%) e a violência psicológica (4,6%). Os pais (47,8%) destacaram-se como os principais autores das violências, seguidos das mães (30,4%) e tios/tias (21,8%). Constatou-se o recente registro de notificações no SIPIA e o problema da subnotificação da violência na capital alagoana, a perpetuação e naturalização da violência física intrafamiliar, a invisibilidade da violência psicológica e a ausência de dados socioeconômicos no banco de dados do SIPIA, o que dificultou uma análise pormenorizada acerca do perfil, classe social e realidade socioeconômica do público infantojuvenil alvo das violações em Maceió.
Indigenous pathways to appraisal during resilience processes
Authors: Mohamed Safia , Ebersöhn Liesel
Published: February 2025

This comparative case study formed part of the Indigenous Pathways to Resilience (IPR) project which aims to contribute to an indigenous psychology knowledge base on resilience from an African perspective. This study focused on contributing knowledge on indigenous pathways to appraisal processes as part of resilience processes to mostly Western-orientated discourses. IPR situated its investigation in two conveniently selected rural South African communities who experience chronic circumstances of high risk and high need and had non-Western worldviews. Participants from the two research sites were stratified according to location, age and gender. Indigenous Psychology (IP) was selected as the theoretical paradigm for the study, with post-colonial research paradigm as the meta-theoretical lens. Participatory reflection and action (PRA) served as the methodological paradigm to generate data in two waves over a period of two years (eight days per site). Data sources included textual data (verbatim transcripts of audio-recorded PRA activities translated into English) and observation data (researchers’ field notes and observations). Trustworthiness was enhanced by capturing the process and context visually over time. Data was analysed using thematic in-case and cross-case analysis lead to inductive themes indigenous pathways to appraisal during resilience processes. This study contributes a novel insight into (African) non-Western appraisal processes as part of resilience. It points to interconnectedness (interpersonal, spiritual and environmental) as a core worldview point of departure during appraisals. Appraisal from a non-Western (African) perspective is then followed by collaborative appraisal processes, including consultation and consensus for problem solving. The non-Western (African) appraisal converges in agency as motivation. This study was delimited to.
The framing of course design tools for an online pre-service teacher training course to activate ESD in subject teaching

Published: February 2025

Abstract
For the Fundisa for Change initiative that responds to the Department of Basic Education (DBE) curriculum strengthening imperatives, we realised that we needed a curriculum-aligned and course-supported series of subject-based teacher professional development programmes. This paper reports on the design of an online course of co-engaged lesson design research work with teachers that integrates Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Indigenous Knowledge (IKS) and Sustainable Livelihoods as cross-cutting concerns. The course design was framed as a knowledge-mediated teacher professional development process to strengthen the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) with curriculum-activated ESD. A Vygotskian action learning schema was used to inform the course, and an associated lesson design research process was designed to mediate and assess ESD lesson planning with teachers. Drawing on these conceptual tools, a 'theory of change' evaluation framework was developed to research and report the course against the Department of Basic Education curriculum strengthening policy and programme.
Curriculum and practice to develop critical thinking competencies in first-year students
Authors: Goode Heather Ann , Van den Berg Geesje
Published: February 2025

Critical thinking competencies are not only seen as crucial for success in higher education, but also for future personal and workplace success. These competencies are commonly cited as a graduate attribute or goal of higher education, and resulting research has tended to focus on exploring and measuring the development of critical thinking competencies in students within higher education. However, few researchers have explored the curriculum and practice of academic staff within higher education in relation to their influence on developing critical thinking competencies in students, or how they theorise about the development of these competencies as part of their professional practice. Within the South African context, there is a perception of a decline in the development of critical thinking competencies within the secondary school system. This has informed policy imperatives to improve access and success in South African higher education through additional support for students, as well as through research into the first-year experience. Within a constructivist paradigm, and adopting a qualitative approach, this study takes the first year of higher education as its context in order to explore the curriculum, assessment, pedagogical and andragogical practices of academic staff designed to develop critical thinking competencies in first-year students. The aim is to explore how academic staff construct their theory and practice in order to contribute to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in South African Higher Education. Phenomenological case study research methods, which draw on data collection through semi-structured interviews and document analysis, enabled a better understanding of the lived experience of academic staff within private higher education. Academic staff, as research participants, were able to describe deliberate actions taken in their teaching practices to facilitate the development and assessment of critical thinking competencies. The findings revealed that academic staff – while having no coherent, well-articulated construction of critical thinking competencies – feel that such competencies are essential for academic and future life success. This not only affirmed previous research reviewed, but aligned to the inclusion of explicit and implicit references to critical thinking competencies found in the curriculum and assessment documents. Recommendations for professional development responded specifically to these findings.
The influence of gamified e-learning quizzes on students’ motivation – a case of programming students at a South African higher education institution
Authors: Adam Ebrahim , Van den Berg Ruan
Published: February 2025

Institutions globally have been grappling with the sudden shift to e-learning due to lockdowns related to the pandemic. However, challenges associated with motivation and student engagement continue to persist. While it is expected that e-learning will become more entrenched in higher education, ignoring these challenges can affect the sustainability of e-learning. Therefore, it is imperative to explore approaches to overcome the challenges. Utilising a case study approach, supported by a focus group, the authors explore how gamified quizzes influenced the motivation of programming students. In this study, it was found that participants experience increased motivation when afforded autonomy, are given a chance to learn socially, and rewarded. However, motivation decreases when students perceive pressure or are not rewarded. Findings also indicate that gamified quizzes contribute to increased understanding and confidence. Ultimately, gamified quizzes are more suited for low stakes learning activities that reward engagement but do not penalise non-engagement or poor performance.
Measuring the effectiveness of e-learning contents for active learning when deployed on mobile and web-based design interfaces using the Multi-Motive Information Systems Continuance (MISC) Model
Authors: Osembe Lufungula , Khomo Feziwe Lindiwe
Published: February 2025

Active learning is evolving as an interesting area of research at many higher institutions of learning, and this paper presents its practical contributions and implications for developing e-learning contents for both mobile and web-based design platforms and interfaces. With current advances and development in the best design interfaces, the literature indicates that the gaps identified in designing e-learning contents for both mobile and web-based designed platforms need serious attention. This paper looked closely at both mobile and web-based design interfaces, design principles, and online engagement in view of recommending the best approaches to promote active learning. The study followed a Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm to develop the framework to promote active learning. Following a pragmatic research paradigm, the study used one single DSR cycle in the development of the framework after reviewing and analyzing literature. The proposed framework is comprised of 10 steps, and these are supplemented with best approaches using the proposed taxonomy of major motivations for system design and use adapted from the Multi-Motive Information Systems Continuance (MISC) Model.
Student volunteer experiences as a way to advance teaching and learning: a call for community service
Authors: Bhagwan Raisuyah
Published: February 2025

This paper makes a case to advance community service through teaching and learning at higher education institutions in South Africa. In particular, it highlights the benefits of student volunteerism as one pathway to engagement and promotion of social responsibility amongst students. The data are drawn from a qualitative, exploratory study undertaken with a sample of 14 students at Durban University of Technology, who participated in volunteering at different community organisations and schools during their undergraduate studies. The study found that students benefitted from this experience and believed that the university had a salient role to play in community engagement. The article concludes with an argument for academics to reconsider communities as learning spaces and to begin to advance community engagement in other ways through teaching.
A mentori tevékenység szerepe a pedagógusképzésben – egy konduktor-tanító szakos hallgatók körében végzett pilot-vizsgálat tanulságai
Authors: Perger Katalin
Published: February 2025

A mentor szerepe egy iskola életében egyértelműen kiemelkedő jelentőségű. Mivel a pályakezdő pedagógus pályán maradását döntően meghatározzák a kezdeti időszak tapasztalatai, nem lényegtelen tehát, hogy milyen színvonalon végezzük ezt a tevékenységet. A gyakorlóiskola a pedagógusképzésben az a terep, ahol a hallgatók a felsőoktatási intézményben elsajátított elméleteket a gyakorlatban megvalósítják. Mind az intézménynek, mind pedig az ott mentori szerepet betöltő tanároknak rendkívül nagy a jelentősége, hiszen a pályakezdő itt találkozik először „élesben” a pedagógus hivatással. E témakörben már megjelent szakirodalmi ismereteket felhasználva majd azokat továbbgondolva feltáró jellegű kutatásomban feltérképeztem a Semmelweis Egyetem Pető András Kar konduktor-tanító specializációs hallgatók külső gyakorlathoz kapcsolódó attitűdjeit, a mentori tevékenységről alkotott véleményüket, a mentor-hallgató közötti kapcsolat a gyakorlat sikerességére gyakorolt hatását, és a pályakezdő pályaszocializációját befolyásoló tényezőket. Megismertem a részükről megfogalmazott igényeket és a mentortól elvárt segítséget, támogatást.
Aproximación a un índice de integridad biótica del ficoperifiton en el Complejo Cenagoso de Zapatosa de Colombia

Published: February 2025

Las microalgas son organismos productores utilizados como bioindicadores desde el siglo XIX. Se caracterizan por su rápida reproducción, sus ciclos de vida cortos y la facilidad de su colecta, y aunque su identificación es complicada, se han evaluado otros atributos como sus medidas morfológicas y sus rasgos funcionales, los cuales permiten hacer una rápida y eficiente valoración de estos organismos, subsanando algunos inconvenientes taxonómicos. En este trabajo se desarrolló una herramienta de evaluación de la salud ecosistémica del Complejo Cenagoso de Zapatosa (CCZ), basada en la composición y en las características biológicas y ecológicas de la comunidad de algas perifíticas, para determinar su integridad biótica y valorar el estado ecológico de este conjunto de ciénagas. Para ello, se analizó la composición de dichas algas en el CCZ, se evaluaron algunos aspectos de su morfología funcional y se seleccionaron las variables funcionales más apropiadas para la elaboración de un índice de integridad biótica (IIB) de esta comunidad. Los análisis matemáticos y estadísticos mostraron que los atributos seleccionados (dimensión lineal máxima, biovolumen, área superficial, exoesqueleto de sílice, mucílago, colonias, aerotopos y flagelos) fueron razonablemente apropiados para el desarrollo del IIB y que se correlacionaron con algunas variables ambientales. Con los resultados del IIB se discriminaron las condiciones ecológicas de las distintas zonas del CCZ. Sin embargo, el índice propuesto es una primera aproximación, que deberá desarrollarse en el futuro para lograr una herramienta de gestión y predicción eficaz, teniendo en cuenta los cambios estacionales en la hidrología del CCZ.
Intimate Yet Exploitative: Representations of Gender-Based Violence in Platformed True Crime Narratives
Authors: Linke Christine , Brune Lisa
Published: February 2025

True crime is a highly controversial yet successful entertainment genre that is widely available on streaming, video, and podcast platforms. The content often includes visual depictions of victims and survivors of gender-based violence, as well as depictions of the acts of violence themselves, such as surveillance footage, police or court videos, or photographs. Additionally, producers and account holders on social media platforms frequently use stereotypical, clichéd, and even eroticized representations of violence. True crime formats rarely address neither the structural causes and backgrounds which lead to crimes, nor the impact on victims, survivors, and their relatives. To address these issues, we apply audio-visual content analysis, focusing on the YouTube channel of Bailey Sarian and her content combination of narrating true crime stories while doing her makeup. Drawing on communication and media studies, we explore the dual tenor of subversive-empowering versus voyeuristic-exploitative representations in the context of narratives of gender-based violence. Our analysis highlights that the unreflective and voyeuristic tone of commercialized true crime narratives can lead to the unethical exploitation of real events and the people affected. The Murder, Mystery & Makeup Monday series exemplifies a dual approach, blending affective storytelling, which fosters viewer intimacy, with sensationalistic portrayals that often simplify and stigmatize those involved in criminal cases. Although some empowering and informative voices regarding gender-based violence exist online, they are frequently overshadowed by the sensationalism typical of commercial true crime. The series underscores a tension between intimate engagement and ethical responsibility, shaped by platform-driven pressures that prioritize engagement over quality. Our findings emphasize the need for platforms to actively enable nuanced, balanced portrayals that foster a more informed and empathetic media environment.
A morte das casas na obra de Cecília Meireles
Authors: Resende Paola
Published: February 2025

Na obra de Cecília Meireles, a casa é uma imagem recorrente e um símbolo de constante devoção. A preferência pelas casas vazias ou abandonadas é sugestiva, pois esses espaços, longe de produzirem isolamento, disponibilizam uma espécie de solidão habitada, ao mobilizar habitantes e enredos antigos ou a criação de novas tramas. Essa iconografia interliga-se à modernização desorganizada das cidades, que destrói as construções antigas para ceder lugar às novas. Nesse sentido, tanto em verso quanto em prosa, são apresentadas cenas em que as casas abandonadas ou desocupadas são o mote e, em oposição ao recorrente esquecimento e destruição, a disposição do sujeito poético é de absoluta entrega e conservação.

Subject. The subject of the study is oral care adherence in patients.
Objectives. The aim of the study is to assess adherence to oral prophylaxis in women with chronic periodontitis and reduced bone mineral density.
Methodology. The study is conducted by the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry and Propaedeutics of Dental Diseases, Ural State Medical University. Out of 100 female patients with chronic generalized periodontitis included in the study, 75% were 45 to 59 years old, and 25% were 60 to 70 years old (the average age was 56.25 ± 11.6 years). The patients signed the voluntary informed consent for examination and publication of the results. The research objects are: 1 — the two-part questionnaire; 2 — female patients with chronic generalized periodontitis. According to the results of the examination, the two groups of the patients were formed: the first group comprised 70 women with chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity and reduced bone mineral density; the second (reference) group comprised 30 women with chronic generalized mild periodontitis in remission and normal bone mineral density. Statistical analysis of results was made on the PC using the software package Microsoft Excel 2007. The results were considered significantly different at p ≤ 0.05.
Conclusions. The assessment of the level of knowledge toward oral prophylaxis among women with chronic periodontitis and reduced mineral density showed that the research participants are aware that individual oral hygiene is important, though the patients in the first group practice good oral hygiene much less (p ≤ 0.05). Unsatisfactory adherence among the patients from the first group is a significant risk factor associated with chronic periodontitis of moderate severity, especially when it progresses without obvious signs. Hence, effectiveness of the further comprehensive therapy can be negatively impacted making treatment more costly, the risk of developing sequelae increases, the prognosis for chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity with reduced bone mineral density can be less favorable affecting the quality of life.

La mayoría de los países de Latinoamérica han ratificado el Convenio 169 del OIT sobre Pueblos Indígenas y Tribales en Países Independientes y la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos, y casi todos los países del hemisferio votaron por la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los derechos de los pueblos indígenas (2007), que consagra la obligación de los Estados de participar en procesos de consulta con sus pueblos originarios antes de tomar acciones que afectan a sus comunidades, territorios o recursos.

A pesar de asumir estas obligaciones, la mayoría de gobiernos han sido lentos en darles efecto. Por lo cual, en más de dos docenas de fallos, los tribunales superiores de la región han cuestionado o anulado decisiones importantes de los gobiernos por falta de cumplimiento de los requisitos de consulta.

Como respuesta, varios gobiernos han impulsados procesos para “reglamentar la consulta” a través de varios mecanismos, con resultados diversos en términos de efectividad. En cualquier caso, una cuestión básica es que los gobiernos tengan la voluntad política de abrir los procesos de decisión con sus pueblos originarios, fundamentados en la implementación de estándares internacionales.

Published: February 2025

Desde múltiples puntos de vista, se reconoce la importancia de las familias en la vida de las personas. En el ámbito de las discapacidades intelectuales y del desarrollo las familias han ido ocupando muy diferentes posiciones a lo largo del tiempo. En los últimos años, junto a la revalorización de los contextos comunitarios se ha dado también la revalorización del contexto familiar, situando a las familias en una posición central en la determinación de los apoyos.

El Enfoque Centrado en la Familia concreta estos planteamientos a través de un conjunto de creencias, principios y prácticas que consideran a las familias como expertas y competentes y como socios indispensables para profesionales y responsables políticos. En este marco, FEVAS Plena Inclusión Euskadi apuesta por desarrollar y profundizar el Enfoque Centrado en la Familia, identificar los aspectos que se están llevando a la práctica y explorar nuevas formas de aplicarlo a la realidad de sus organizaciones.

Este libro presenta los principales resultados de un proyecto de investigación colaborativo desarrollado entre FEVAS Plena inclusión Euskadi y el equipo de investigación «Intervención: Calidad de Vida e Inclusión Social» de la Facultad de Educación y Deporte de la Universidad de Deusto. Su objetivo ha sido identificar, desde la perspectiva de familias y profesionales, las prácticas que más contribuyen al bienestar, empoderamiento y colaboración de las familias y ofrecer un modelo que permita impulsar su desarrollo desde las entidades en favor de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo. Para ello, se ha creado un grupo motor de carácter mixto formado por investigadores, profesionales y familiares que han ido consensuando y validando tanto el proceso metodológico como los resultados obtenidos. Han formado parte del equipo motor: Oiane Uriarte (APDEMA), Emilio Arizaga y Laura Díaz (APNABI-AUTISMO BIZKAIA), Mikel Álvarez, Esther Bogajo, Natalia Marañón y Miriam Ruiz (ASPACE GIPUZKOA), Ana Acarregui, Naiara Fernández y Tatiana Urien (GAUDE), Jimmy Brosa (GAUTENA), Elena Chavarri, Paki Lajas y Josune Martínez (ULIAZPI), y Valeria García-Landarte, Begoña Pérez del Palomar y Lucía Soria (FEVAS Plena inclusión Euskadi).
A leitura performática como potencializadora da compreensão do texto literário
Authors: José de Melo Jardiel , Augusto de Lima Oliveira Fernando
Published: February 2025

A dificuldade de compreensão textual tem afastado muitos alunos da leitura prazerosa dos textos literários, restringindo-a apenas ao cumprimento das atividades escolares. Dessa forma, acreditamos que uma das causas para isso ocorrer seja a ausência ou pouca diversidade de estratégias de leitura tanto no ambiente familiar quanto escolar. Neste trabalho, objetivamos apresentar a leitura performática como uma estratégia que auxilie os estudantes no processo de entendimento do texto lido. Para tanto, amparamo-nos nas descobertas da Neurociência da Linguagem (TEIXEIRA; AZEVEDO, 2021; WOLF, 2019; SOUZA, 2020), e na concepção de performance na leitura (ZUMTHOR, 1997; OLIVEIRA, 2010). Através das discussões implementadas pelos estudiosos dessas áreas, pudemos refletir sobre o processo de leitura em nosso cérebro e nas dificuldades dos alunos quanto a compreensão textual. Neste artigo, apresentamos um roteiro de atividades, desenvolvido a partir da experiência com um grupo de alunos do 9º ano do ensino fundamental, utilizando a leitura performática na sala de aula como potencializadora da compreensão do texto literário. Dessa forma, defendemos a importância de propostas inovadoras e lúdicas que motivem o aluno a refletir sobre o texto lido e como a prática da leitura performática pode ajudar na compreensão desses textos, quando lhes são apresentados adequadamente.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: Breast cancer (BCA) is one of the world’s most prevalent cancer and the top cause of mortality. For many decades, mammography has been used routinely for screening of early breast cancer and diagnosing symptomatic patients. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the usefulness of machine learning techniques using mammography images.
Methods: A total of 194 patients who underwent ultrasound examination after observing suspicious lesions on mammography images and were diagnosed with BCA by ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy were included in the study. A set of mammography images with complete cancer subtypes was used. A transfer learning-based computer vision method was adopted in this study. AlexNet was to extract the features and select the most significant features using a feature selection function. Our deep learning-based model attained more than 80% accuracy in classifying malignant and benign cancers. However, the employed deep learning model cannot classify subtypes accurately.
Results: Per the results, the commonly used image classification model is highly accurate in distinguishing malignant and benign changes, however unable to classify cancer subtypes.
Conclusions: In conclusion, machine learning can still not simulate conventional immunohistochemistry subtyping using tissue biopsy.

The Impact of Irrationals on the Range of Arctan Activation Function for Deep Learning Models
Authors: Tümer Sivri Talya , Pervan Akman Nergis , Berkol Ali
Published: February 2025

Deep learning has been applied in numerous areas, significantly impacting applications that address real-life challenges. Its success across a wide range of domains is partly attributed to activation functions, which introduce non-linearity into neural networks, enabling them to effectively model complex relationships in data. Activation functions remain a key area of focus for artificial intelligence researchers aiming to enhance neural network performance. This paper comprehensively explains and compares various activation functions, particularly emphasizing the arc tangent and its specific variations. The primary focus is on evaluating the impact of these activation functions in two different contexts: a multiclass classification problem applied to the Reuters Newswire dataset and a time-series prediction problem involving the energy trade value of Türkiye. Experimental results demonstrate that variations of the arc tangent function, leveraging irrational numbers such as π (pi), the golden ratio (ϕ), Euler number (e), and a self-arctan formulation, yield promising outcomes. The findings suggest that different variations perform optimally for specific tasks: arctan ϕ achieves superior results in multiclass classification problems, while arctan e is more effective in time-series prediction challenges.

Latar Belakang: Permasalahan gizi lebih pada remaja (10-18 tahun) saat ini cukup tinggi yaitu >15%. Asupan makan diketahui dapat mempengaruhi status gizi. Konsumsi pangan yang beragam diketahui dapat menurunkan peluang risiko gizi lebih pada remaja. Namun tidak demikian, remaja saat ini lebih sering mengonsumsi asupan makanan yang kurang baik seperti makanan tinggi kandungan gula, lemak, dan natrium serta rendah serat diketahui dapat meingkatkan risiko terjadinya gizi lebih.
Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan kebiasaan keragaman pangan, konsumsi makanan manis, minuman manis, dan junk food dengan gizi lebih di usia remaja.
Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional analitik dengan menggunakan metode cross–sectional yang dilakukan di SMAN 6 Depok. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan uji chi-square kemaknaan 95%. Sampel berjumlah 112 responden yang diambil menggunakan rumus uji hipotesis beda dua proporsi menurut Lemeshow, serta menggunakan prosedur pengambilan sampel dengan metode stratified random sampling. Uji validitas dan reliabilitas dengan tingkar signifikansi sebesar 0,05 telah dilakukan pada kuesioner sebelum disebarkan.
Hasil: Analisis uji validitas menunjukkan valid dan uji realibilitas menunjukkan nilai Cronbach Alpha > r tabel (0,314). Analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa remaja mayoritas tidak mengalami gizi lebih (80,4%), remaja mengonsumsi pangan yang beragam (86,6%), dan remaja jarang mengonsumsi makanan (80,4%) dan minuman (69,6%) manis, serta junk food (70,5%).
Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara kebiasaan konsumsi keragaman pangan, konsumsi makanan manis, konsumsi minuman manis, dan konsumsi junk food dengan gizi lebih di usia remaja.

Latar Belakang: Anemia merupakan kondisi medis yang timbul akibat kekurangan zat gizi tertentu dan sering dijumpai di negara-negara maju dan berkembang. Kekurangan nutrisi penting seperti zat besi, asam folat, protein, dan vitamin C sering menjadi penyebab anemia pada remaja, serta dapat juga dikarenakan faktor lainnya seperti persen lemak tubuh.
Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan antara asupan zat besi, vitamin C, dan persen lemak tubuh pada remaja putri di Pondok Pesantren Askhabul Kahfi Kota Semarang.
Metode: Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional dengan melibatkan 65 remaja putri. Sampel dipilih dengan teknik proporsionate stratified sampling. Data mengenai asupan zat besi dan vitamin C dikumpulkan melalui wawancara menggunakan SQ-FFQ, sementara mengukur persentase lemak tubuh, digunakan alat BIA Omron HBF-212, dan diagnosis anemia dilakukan dengan memeriksa kadar hemoglobin menggunakan EasyTouch GCHb. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Gamma, dan analisis multivariat dengan regresi logistik ordinal.
Hasil: Karakteristik responden menunjukkan bahwa 33 responden (50,8%) memiliki asupan zat besi cukup, 35 responden (53,2%) memiliki asupan vitamin C cukup, 43 responden (66,2%) memiliki persen lemak tubuh normal, dan 42 responden (64,6%) tidak menderita anemia. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara asupan zat besi (p-value= 0,010) dan persen lemak tubuh (p-value= 0,009) dengan kejadian anemia. Tidak ditemukan hubungan signifikan antara asupan vitamin C (p-value= 0,095) dengan kejadian anemia. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara asupan vitamin C (p-value= 0,095) dengan kejadian anemia.
Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara asupan zat besi dan persen lemak tubuh dengan anemia pada remaja putri. Asupan zat besi adalah faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap anemia pada remaja putri.

Latar Belakang: Status gizi ibu sebelum maupun selama masa kehamilan memiliki peran penting terhadap proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bayi yang dikandungnya. Tren kejadian BBLR di Sumatera Barat ini mengalami kenaikan kembali dengan persentase dari 3,11% (2019) ke 3,4% (2021).
Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis interaksi antara status Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) sebelum hamil dan kenaikan berat badan selama kehamilan terhadap antropometri bayi baru lahir di Sumatera Barat.
Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lanjutan berbasis data sekunder  yang berasal dari riset kohort dengan judul Vitamin D Pregnant Mother (VDPM) 2018 di Sumatera Barat dan dianalisis lanjutan pada Februari-April 2024. Subjek terdiri dari 175 ibu hamil dan bayinya yang memenuhi kriteria. Variabel yang diteliti meliputi status IMT sebelum hamil, kenaikan berat badan selama hamil, dan antropometri bayi baru lahir. Analisis statistik dengan uji Kruskal Wallis dan korelasi Spearman serta multivariat General Linear Model (GLM).
Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya korelasi antara IMT sebelum hamil dan kenaikan berat badan selama hamil (p-value=0,049, r=-1,4). IMT sebelum hamil memiliki korelasi dengan berat badan (p-value=0,003, r=0,2) dan panjang badan lahir (p-value=0,045, r=0,1), namun tidak dengan lingkar kepala (p-value=0,054). Kenaikan berat badan ibu selama masa  kehamilan tidak memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan antropometri bayi ketika lahir seperti berat badan (p-value=0,512), panjang badan (p-value=0,368), dan lingkar kepala lahir (p-value=0,368). Tidak ditemukan interaksi antara IMT sebelum hamil dan status kenaikan berat badan terhadap antropometri bayi baru lahir dengan nilai p-interaksi sebesar 0,739 untuk berat badan, 0,377 untuk panjang badan lahir dan 0,175 unuk lingkar  kepala lahir.
Kesimpulan: Tidak ditemukan interaksi antara status IMT sebelum hamil dan kenaikan berat badan selama hamil terhadap antropometri bayi lahir. Masyarakat diimbau memperhatikan gizi sebelum dan selama kehamilan untuk menjaga kesehatan ibu dan bayi.

Published: February 2025

Background: Body composition and sleep quality are body components that need to be considered in adolescent athletes. Both components can affect the level of maximum oxygen volume (VO2max) and become factors in increasing physical performance in adolescent athletes.
Objectives: To determine the relationship between body composition and sleep quality with VO2max in adolescent athletes at Sidoarjo Sports High School and Sewon 1 High School.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 106 athletes selected by purposive sampling. Quantitative data were obtained using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and the Multistage Fitness Test. The statistical tests used were the Pearson Product Moment and Spearman Rank.
Results: There was a significant negative relationship between the percentage of fat mass and VO2max in both combined subjects (r=-0.669, p-value<0.001), male (r=-0.295, p-value=0.026), and female (r=-0.486, p-value<0.001). There was a significant positive relationship between the percentage of muscle mass and VO2max both with combined subjects (r=0.628, p-value<0.001) and women (r=0.492, p-value<0.001). There was no significant relationship between sleep quality and VO2max but there was a relationship in the components of sleep quality, namely subjective sleep quality (r=-0.34, p-value=0.01) and sleep efficiency (r=-0.29, p-value=0.03) with VO2max in female athletes.
Conclusions: Adolescent athletes with a low percentage of fat mass tend to have high VO2max, while adolescent athletes with a low percentage of muscle mass tend to also have low VO2max. There was no significant relationship between sleep quality and VO2max.
