Este estudo buscou averiguar em que medida as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) brasileiras são comprometidas em relação aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da Organização das Nações Unidas, de acordo com o Ranking de Impacto 2023. Para esse fim, foi utilizado a pesquisa descritiva e documental, com informações coletadas do Times Higher Education Impact Rankings para o ano de 2023. Os resultados indicaram que as IES públicas e da região Sudeste do Brasil possuem maior participação na integração de compromissos com os ODS, enquanto que, as IES privadas e da região Norte têm menor compromissos. Paradoxalmente, dentre as 47 IES brasileiras que compõem ranking, a Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade de Brasília, Universidade Estadual de Campinas e a Universidade Estadual Paulistas foram as instituições mais bem posicionadas, respectivamente. Adicionalmente, encontrou-se maior preocupação das IES em abordar sobre “Saúde e bem-estar” (ODS 3) e “Educação de qualidade” (ODS4) em detrimento da “Ação contra a mudança global do clima” (ODS 13). Por outro lado, o ODS 3 “Saúde e bem-estar” e o ODS 8 “Trabalho decente e crescimento econômico” tiveram melhor desempenho. Esta pesquisa pode ser apresentada como um indicador geral de compromisso das IES brasileiras para ODS, uma vez que enfrentam frequentes pressões globais para exibirem seu impacto em contribuir com a promoção dos ODS (THE, 2020; 2021).
Physical science teachers’ perspectives on professional development and use of digital technology
Authors: Dlamini Maserialong , Jita Thuthukile 
Published: December 2024

This paper examines physical science teachers’ views and experiences on professional devel-opment and digital technology integration for teaching content specific. Using a qualitative ap-proach and case study design embedded in the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) model and concerns-based adoption model (CBAM), this article reports on how physi-cal science teachers from technologically resourced schools perceive their preparation to use technology during professional development. Four participants with more than three years teaching experience of physical science were selected for data collection. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and was thematically analyzed. The key findings of the study indicate that inadequate digital technology professional development leads to teachers’ unpreparedness which tremendously influences the extent of using technology for teaching in physical science content. The paper recommends the need for ongoing professional develop-ment of physical science teachers on the use of digital technology to teach specific content. Based on the existing literature, the principles of effective professional development can be used to narrow inequalities in developing countries such as Lesotho. The paper recommends future research to investigate the maximum effectiveness of technology integration in other subjects as to improve teaching and learning in developing countries such as Lesotho.
Anime club in the public library
Authors: Žentil Barić Žozefina 
Published: December 2024

Aim: The popularity of Japanese animation (anime) has increased worldwide in recent years. The paper aims to represent an anime club as an opportunity for public libraries to draw in young fans by offering them a place where they can exchange experiences and find like-minded peers. It reflects on the definition of anime and the reasons for its popularity, offers an insight into possible ways of using anime in public libraries and presents a case study of a successful anime club.
Methodology: This case study investigates the role of an Anime Club for High Schoolers in attracting an often hard-to-reach user group of adolescents back to public libraries. The observed anime club is specific for adopting a book club structure. To answer the questions how and why the club worked, data had been collected through archival record research and observation with participation during two program years (from October 2021 to July 2023).
Findings: Despite the difficulties due to epidemiological measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, 20 teenagers joined the club: 7 individuals per session on average and 8 adolescents regularly attending meetings held twice a month. During the second year, even more participants regularly attended individual meetings. The club managed to gather an interested, engaged and positive community, whose members then started participating in other library programs.
Applicability: The work showcases anime clubs as effective and valuable means for public libraries worldwide to attract young fans by offering them a place to cultivate their interests. It can serve librarians as an incentive for the development of a similar activity.
Atrapado en mi libertad. Un análisis discursivo de la neoliberalización del trabajo en Argentina
Authors: Isolani Iván 
Published: December 2024

Este artículo describe la formación discursiva dominante en torno al mercado laboral en la coyuntura del sistema capitalista argentino, a través de la realización de un análisis crítico ideológico sobre el funcionamiento de los procesos de significación en torno a la cuestión laboral.Se hará foco en una construcción discursiva que se erige como una de las interpelaciones tendencialmente dominantes a la hora de organizar la experiencia sobre las relaciones laborales, como “sé tu propio jefe”.Como hipótesis, sostenemos que desde la década de 1970 se da un proceso de neoliberalización del universo laboral en nuestro país. Se indagará el funcionamiento de los procesos discursivos del mundo del trabajo a partir de un corpus ordenado en dos series discursivas, que denominamos “Tú decides cuánto, cuándo y cómo quieres trabajar" y “La responsabilidad de lo que vives hoy es únicamente tuya”, en cuyo interior se promueven determinadas representaciones y configuraciones ideológicas de sentido. Esto implica situar a estas significaciones en la especificidad de su escena de emergencia.Por lo que el análisis consistirá en reponer las operaciones significantes que entran en juego al momento de describir lo que el trabajo significa en la actual fase financiera del sistema capitalista.ARK: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/keoujsa6q

Authors: Garcia Josias Mendes 
Published: December 2024

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) enfrenta desafios significativos em relação à evasão escolar, como a falta de motivação e a conciliação entre trabalho e estudos.Para reduzir a evasão, é fundamental implementar práticas pedagógicas que valorizem a experiência . A educação geográfica é descrita por teóricos como Callai (2014) como uma ferramenta importante na educação pela capacidade de atuar na construção da identidade e valorização da cultura local, nesse sentido pode ser um ótimo instrumento de permanência e transformação na EJA. Com base no contexto apresentado este artigo teve como objetivo geral analisar como a Geografia pode atuar como um instrumento de permanência dos alunos na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) de uma Escola da Rede Estadual de Porto Velho, identificando os principais fatores que contribuem para a evasão e propondo práticas pedagógicas que possam mitigar esse problema. Para conduzir a investigação foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa com aplicação de questionários a três alunos da EJA e entrevista com a professora de Geografia da escola estudada.Os dados coletados destacam a relação intrínseca entre as percepções dos alunos sobre a Geografia, suas realidades socioeconômicas, e a abordagem pedagógica da professora de Geografia. Conclui-se que o alinhamento entre teoria e prática contribuirá para a construção de uma experiência educacional que respeite e valorize a diversidade do público da EJA, favorecendo a permanência e o sucesso dos alunos no sistema educacional.

AbstractCytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is involved in the metabolism of the antimalarial drugs artemether and lumefantrine. Here we investigated the effect of CYP2B6*6 on the plasma pharmacokinetics of artemether, lumefantrine, and their metabolites in healthy volunteers. Thirty healthy and previously genotyped adult volunteers—15 noncarriers (CYP2B6*1/*1) and 15 homozygote carriers (CYP2B6*6/*6)—selected from a cohort of 150 subjects from the Ilorin metropolitan area were administered the complete 3‐day course of artemether and lumefantrine (80 and 480 mg twice daily, respectively). Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was conducted at different time points before and after the last dose. Plasma concentrations of artemether, lumefantrine, dihydroartemisinin, and desbutyllumefantrine were quantified using validated liquid chromatography–mass spectrometric methods. Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using noncompartmental analysis. Artemether clearance of CYP2B6*6/*6 volunteers was nonsignificantly lower by 26% (ratios of geometric mean [90% CI]; 0.74 [0.52‐1.05]), and total exposure (the area under the plasma concentration‐time curve from time 0 to infinity [AUC0‐∞]) was greater by 35% (1.35 [0.95‐1.93]) when compared with those of *1/*1 volunteers. Similarly, assuming complete bioconversion from artemether, the dihydroartemisinin AUC0‐∞ was 22% lower. On the contrary, artemether‐to‐dihydroartemisinin AUC0‐∞ ratio was 73% significantly higher (1.73 [1.27‐2.37]). Comparison of lumefantrine exposure and lumefantrine‐to‐desbutyllumefantrine metabolic ratio of *6/*6 with corresponding data from *1/*1 volunteers showed no differences. The increased artemether‐to‐dihydroartemisinin metabolic ratio of *6/*6 volunteers is unlikely to result in differences in artemether‐lumefantrine efficacy and treatment outcomes. This is the first study in humans to associate CYP2B6*6 genotype with artemether disposition.

Published: September 2019

AbstractA novel cost effective tuneable Lewis acid/sulfur scavenging system, comprising of various ratios of group 13 stronger Lewis acid AlCl3 and transition metal weak Lewis acid FeCl3, were developed for oligomerization of alpha olefins to form polyalphaolefins (PAOs). The residence time and temperature dependent oligomer ratio of 1‐decene is studied in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts containing various ratios of AlCl3/FeCl3 [AlCl3, AlCl3/FeCl3 (0.7:0.3), AlCl3/FeCl3 (0.5:0.5), AlCl3/FeCl3 (0.3:0.7), FeCl3]. The transition metal based weak Lewis acid FeCl3 yielded oligomer ratio comparable to commercial PAO 2 cst to PAO 6 cst viscosity grade. With an increase in AlCl3 concentration in the catalyst system, the equilibrium oligomer ratio is shifted towards higher oligomers. With increase in temperature, due to faster termination kinetics in comparison with the propagation, the oligomer ratio is shifted towards lighter dimer and trimer oligomers. The sulfur scavenging abilities of AlCl3/FeCl3 is studied in the presence of model mixture containing thiol in decene. The catalyst system showed superior sulfur scavenging abilities.
Conversion of 3,6‐O‐Dimethylfluorescein to Fluorescein‐Based Xanthylium Derivative: Characterization and Covalent Attachment to Bovine Serum Albumin
Authors: Kalhor Hamid Reza , Rezaei Mohsen 
Published: September 2019

AbstractXanthene dyes, such as fluorescein and rhodamine, have played crucial rules in biological sciences especially covalent attachment of these organic compounds to biomolecules. 3‐O‐methylfluorescein and 3,6‐O‐dimethylfluorescein were synthesized and purified using a facile procedure. 3,6‐O‐dimethylfluorescein, which lacks fluorescence, was treated with sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid solutions, giving rise to yellow and green fluorescent compounds, respectively. In both basic and acidic conditions, donor‐acceptor structures were formed. The reaction of 3,6‐O‐dimethylfluorescein with acids, in a reversible manner, emitted green fluorescence, whereas its reaction with hydroxide ion, irreversibly shifted the fluorescence to the yellow region. Using MS spectrometry, the product identity was determined as a xanthylium ion derivative. Stokes shift and quantum yield for xanthylium ion were measured. Various nucleophiles were examined for studying the mechanism of the xanthylium ion in aqueous solutions; the results confirmed that hydroxide ion was mediatory for the emission of the fluorescence. In addition, 3‐O‐methyl‐5(6)‐carboxyfluorescein and 3,6‐O‐dimethyl‐5(6)‐carboxyfluorescein were synthesized that can potentially be used in bioorthogonal reactions for labeling proteins. The synthesized products were used in covalent attachment to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and their unique fluorescences were detected.

Published: September 2019

AbstractRegenerated starch (RS) prepared from 14% urea/4% NaOH aqueous solution is used as a raw material to synthesize esterified starch. Starch stearate (SS), a kind of long‐chain fatty acid starch ester, is synthesized through the esterification of RS with stearic acid by a dry method under normal pressure and without an organic solvent or catalyst. Scanning electron microscopy, Laser Particle Sizer, Fourier transform infrared, 1H NMR, X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis are used to characterize and analyze the prepared SS. The effect of degree of substitution (DS) on the properties of SS, such as moisture adsorption, transparency, emulsion ability (EA) and emulsion stability (ES), freeze–thaw stability, and retrogradation, is also studied. The results show that the prepared SS has better EA and ES, good freeze–thaw stability, and excellent retrogradation, all of which increase with the increase of DS. The transparency of SS pastes is significantly improved when its DS is under 0.3. The moisture adsorption of SS decreases due to the introduction of stearate groups. All these improved properties make SS a better material for a myriad of industrial applications.
Banks’ business strategies on the edge of distress

Published: September 2019

AbstractThe paper investigates the importance of banks’ business classification in shaping the risk profile of financial institutions on a global scale. We employ a rare-event logit model based on a state-of-the-art list of major global distress events from the global financial crisis. When clustering banks by their business strategies using a community detection approach, we show that (i) capital enhanced resilience only for traditional banks that were on average less capitalized than other banks; (ii) boosting ROE, usually associated with riskier exposures, improved resilience for stable funded and asset diversified banks; (iii) conversely, higher levels of ROA exacerbated banks’ vulnerability when associated with concentrated (not-diversified) investment structures; (iv) size in terms of total assets contributed to instability only for wholesale-funded institutions due to their high levels of unstable funding. Liquidity, on the contrary, reduced the institution likelihood of being in distress, regardless of its business classification. Although our findings refer to the recent financial crisis, they provide evidence that a tailored risk monitoring based on a proper peer group identification can facilitate banks’ distresses prediction.

Published: September 2019

AbstractLeaf-dwelling mites often prefer to feed on young leaves and also are more likely to inhabit the abaxial leaf side. The aim of our study was to examine whether leaf age may affect production and distribution of eggs on black locust leaves by females ofAculops allotrichus. The eriophyoids were tested for 2.5 days on ‘trimmed’ compound leaves (with only two opposite leaflets left), which were maintained in vials filled with water. For the experiments we used leaves of three categories: (1) the ‘youngest’, in which both halves of the adaxial side of leaflets still adhered to each other (and usually remained folded for the next few hours), (2) ‘young’ with already unfolded leaflets, and (3) ‘mature’ with fully expanded leaflets. The tested females laid significantly more eggs on developing leaves than on ‘mature’ ones, although they deposited the highest number of eggs on the ‘young’ leaves. The distribution of eggs on adaxial or abaxial leaf sides also depended on leaf age. On the ‘youngest’ leaves, eriophyoids placed similar numbers of eggs on both sides of a blade. However, the older the leaf, the more willingly females deposited eggs on the abaxial side. Our biochemical and morphometrical analyses of black locust leaves indicated significant changes in the contents of nutrients and phenols within leaf tissue, and in the density of trichomes and thickness of the outer epidermal cell walls, correlated with leaf age. Their possible effects on the production and distribution of eggs on leaves byA. allotrichusare discussed.
Theoretical equivalence and duality
Authors: De Haro Sebastian 
Published: September 2019

AbstractTheoretical equivalence and duality are two closely related notions: but their interconnection has so far not been well understood. In this paper I explicate the contribution of a recent schema for duality to discussions of theoretical equivalence. I argue that duality suggests a construal of theoretical equivalence in the physical sciences. The construal is in terms of the isomorphism of models, as defined by the schema. This construal gives interpretative constraints that should be useful for discussions of theoretical equivalence more generally. I illustrate the construal in various formulations of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory.

Published: September 2019

AbstractPetrophysical assessment of Facha Formation based on log data of six wells A1, A3, A4, A5, A8 and A13 recorded over the entire reservoir interval was established. Hakim Oil Field produces from the Lower Eocene Facha reservoir, which is located at the western side of Sirte basin. Limestone, dolostone and dolomitic limestone are the main lithologies of the Facha reservoir. This lithology is defined by neutron porosity—density cross-plot. Noteworthily, limestone increases in the lowermost intervals of the reservoir. Structurally, the field is traversed by three northwest–southeast faults. The shale of the Upper Cretaceous Sirte Formation is thought to be the source rock of the Facha Formation, whereas the seals are the limestone and anhydrite of the Lower Eocene Gir Formation. In this study, the Facha reservoir’s cutoff values were obtained from the cross-plots of the calculated shale volume, porosity and water saturation values accompanied with gamma ray log data and were set as 20%, 10% and 70%, respectively. Isoparametric maps for the thickness variation of net pay, average porosity, shale volume and water saturation were prepared, and the authors found out that the Facha Formation has promising reservoir characteristics in the area of study; a prospective region for oil accumulation trends is in the north and south of the study area.
Thermodynamic analysis of theoretical dolomite formation from seawater and captured carbon dioxide
Authors: Al-Breiki Mohammed , Bicer Yusuf 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
In this study, an integrated system is proposed to form dolomite chemically from seawater and carbon dioxide. The system contains three main chemical processes: formation of magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, the reaction of magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide, and the formation of dolomite. Based on the fundamental thermodynamic laws, energy and exergy analyses, and performance assessment of the proposed system is carried out. Furthermore, the effects of varying temperatures of each process on various energy and exergy efficiencies are assessed through parametric studies. The results show that formation of dolomite is favorable at temperature ranges of 313–470 K based on the thermodynamic study. The exergy efficiency of dolomite formation is found to be about 23.8% and the results reveal that the dolomite formation process has the specific exergy destruction value of 29.6 kJ/mol among other sub-processes. The results suggest that the proposed system may provide enhanced options for low-temperature dolomite formation using seawater and captured carbon dioxide once the reaction kinetics is favored.

Published: September 2019

AbstractAim:To develop a proactive person-centered care approach for persons with (multiple) chronic diseases in general practice, and to explore the impact on ‘Quadruple aims’: experiences of patients and professionals, patient outcomes and costs of resources use.Background:The management of people with multiple chronic diseases challenges health care systems designed around single disease. Patients with multimorbidity often receive highly fragmented care that may lead to inefficient, ineffective and potentially harmful treatments and neglect of essential health needs. A more comprehensive, person-centered approach is advocated for persons with multiple morbidities. However, examples on how to provide more person-centered care and evidence of its impact are scarce. A group of Dutch general practitioners (GPs) took the initiative to develop such a care approach.Methods/Design:Mixed methods with a development and pilot-testing phase. The proactive person-centered approach will be developed using an action-based research design consisting of multiple plan-act-observe-reflect-adjust cycles. In each cycle, experiences of patients and primary care professionals from 13 practices will be collected via interviews, observations and focus groups. Starting point for the first cycle is a ‘person-centered consultation’ of up to 1 h in which the GP discusses the health status and health care needs of the patient. Furthermore, shared decisions between GP and patient are made on treatment goals and follow-up. In the pilot-test phase, a nested case cohort study allows to explore the impact of the new approach on ‘Quadruple aim’ outcomes comparing persons with and without exposure to the new care approach.Discussion:This study will provide a proactive person-centered approach for persons with multimorbidity in primary care and estimate its potential impact on quadruple outcomes.
