Abstract

This research examines how stratified wind profiles occur and influence energy production predictions along Brazil’s Southeast offshore. We employed a Wind LiDAR Doppler Profiler data collected up to a height of 150 m from a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) located about 190 km offshore in the pre-salt oil extraction region. The investigation focused on a notable wind profile stratification event on July 3, 2019, detailed in spatial-temporal analysis using the ERA5 dataset and simulation by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Moreover, we analyzed ERA5 reanalysis data on sea surface temperature (SST) and 2 m air temperature to investigate the relationship between the stratification of the wind profile and the temperature difference between the air and ocean. Wind profile stratification arises when a warm-air conveyor belt in the vanguard of the cold front passes over a relatively colder sea surface. An important finding reveals that the air and sea are locally decoupled, where stratification begins before the air surface temperature at the FPSO surpasses that of the sea surface due to the stable upstream conditions associated with the upwelling of cold water near the coast. Finally, we assess the influence of stratified wind profiles on annual energy production using three methods to estimate wind speeds from ERA5 reference altitude of 100 meters to the hub height of 150 meters, specifically for a reference 15 MW wind turbine. Our results indicate that wind profile stratification may substantially impact annual energy production projections, potentially increasing energy output estimations by 5.2%.
The Impact of Cultural Beliefs and Stigma on Dementia Care and Diagnosis: A Scoping Review
Authors: R Jeevitha Gowda , Guruprasad Parimala 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Dementia is a significant global health issue, yet cultural beliefs and stigma surrounding the condition can profoundly impact diagnosis, care, and management. Cultural differences influence the perception of dementia, and stigma often delays timely diagnosis and effective caregiving. This scoping review investigates how cultural beliefs and stigma affect dementia diagnosis, caregiving responsibilities, treatment-seeking behaviours, and healthcare access across diverse cultural contexts. A systematic search of five databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) was conducted, focusing on studies published between 2000 and 2024. A total of 37 studies were included in the review, encompassing both qualitative and quantitative research. The findings indicate that in many low- and middle-income countries, dementia is perceived through spiritual or supernatural lenses, resulting in delays in diagnosis and treatment. Stigma was identified as a significant barrier to healthcare access, with both individuals with dementia and their caregivers avoiding medical help due to the fear of social exclusion. In collectivist societies, caregiving responsibilities predominantly fall on families, often leading to emotional and physical strain. Several studies highlighted the success of culturally tailored interventions in reducing stigma and improving dementia awareness. Culturally sensitive strategies, including awareness campaigns and professional training programs, were found to be effective in improving dementia care and reducing stigma. The review underscores the need for culturally appropriate interventions to facilitate early diagnosis and provide better support for families. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating such interventions to improve dementia care across diverse populations.
ЛАТЕНТНОЕ ВАРВАРСТВОПРИРОДА, ФОРМЫ ПРОЯВЛЕНИЯ ИМЕСТО В ИСТОРИИ
Authors: В.П. БУДАНОВА 
Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена анализу исследовательской модели латентного варварства в историческом и современном контексте. Античная нарративная традиция о варварах представлена в качестве матрицы варварства. Обращено внимание на стандарт злонамеренных деструктивных действий произвольной или преднамеренной активности субъекта исторического процесса. В этой связи рассматривается критический потенциал варварства, открытая форма которого может переходить в латентную (скрытую или скрываемую). Латентное варварство впервые выделено как самостоятельный исторический феномен, особая форма внутрицивилизационного варварства, скрытая дезруптивная сила и вызов современному цивилизованному миру. Научную новизну представляет впервые сформулированная историческая и терминологическая характеристика эволюции латентного варварства, его форм проявления и сфер воздействия латентности внутри цивилизации. Отмечено, что каждая цивилизация порождает собственные формы и мишени варварства, которые проявляются в периоды кризиса. Анализ историкопсихологических особенностей латентного варварства востребован временем, так как позволяет увидеть опасную динамику его деструктивной природы и предотвратить негативную реакцию на возможные кардинальные изменения цивилизации в пору ее кризиса и перемен.
The article is devoted to the analysis of the research model of latent barbarity in the historical and modern context. The ancient narrative tradition of barbarians is presented as a matrix of barbarity. Attention is paid to the standard of malicious destructive actions of arbitrary or intentional activity of the subject of the historical process. In this regard, the critical potential of barbarity is considered, the open form of which can turn into latent (hidden or hides). Latent barbarity was first identified as an independent historical phenomenon, a special form of intracivilizational barbarity, a hidden disruptive force and a challenge to the modern civilized world. Scientific novelty is represented by the first formulated historical and terminological characteristics of the evolution of latent barbarity, its forms of manifestation and spheres of influence of latency within civilization. It is noted that each civilization generates its own forms and targets of barbarity, which are manifested in times of crisis. The analysis of the historical and psychological features of latent barbarity is in demand for time, as it allows us to see the dangerous dynamics of its destructive nature and prevent a negative reaction to possible radical changes in civilization at the time of its crisis and change.

Consensus Over Political Divisions: Polish Input in the Debate on Multiculturalism and Immigration to the European Union
Authors: Ciechański Jerzy 
Published: November 2024

Multiculturalism as an ideology holds that Western societies ought to become mosaics of races, ethnicities and religions. At least from the mid-1980s, multiculturalism has set out the contents and limits of public debate and policy on immigration in Western democracies. That ideological supremacy has been effectively questioned only by the public reactions to the 2015 EU immigration crisis. Political rhetoric on immigration has changed more than actual policy. Meanwhile, in Poland, its deep political divisions notwithstanding, the mainstream elites of power and opinion have remained quite uniformly sceptical about the generally lax Western approach toward immigration, both regarding its ideological underpinnings and resulting policies. The scope of the Polish debate on immigration seems also much less constrained by the strictures of political correctness than has been the case in the West. The present article documents that transpolitical consensus, tracing its roots back to the historical experience specific to Poland and Central Europe.
CBCT as a Novel Tool for Gender Determination using Radio Morphometric Analysis of Maxillary Sinus-A Prospective Study
Authors: Lin Yi , Takkella Bharani Krishna , Bhavana Sujanamulk , Pilli Sai Naveen Kumar , Ram Sunil Chukka , Venkata Anusha Nayanala 
Published: November 2024

Introduction:
The maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities which vary in size and shape. Sinus radiography has been widely used in the determination of the
gender of the individual, especially in forensic investigation for human identification and sexing of individuals. The advanced radiographic
techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), especially the axial and coronal sections, have been considered as a subtle concept in
forensic odontology. Aim: The current study aimed in evaluating the parameters of the maxillary sinus using CBCT and to identify its implication
in gender determination.

Materials and Methods:
Current study consists of 50 patients who were divided into two groups, group I consisted of 25 males and group II consisted of 25 females, where
maxillary sinus dimensions like maximum length (anteroposteriorly), maximum width (mediolaterally) and maximum height (superioinferiorly)
were evaluated using CBCT scans in axial and coronal sections respectively.

Results:
Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine the normality and Independent t-test was used to compare the two groups, followed by predictive analysis.
Maxillary sinus, right length (p<0.001), right width (p<0.001), right height (p<0.001), left length (p<0.001), left width (p<0.001), left height
(p<0.001). Right and left maxillary sinus parameters were different between males and females, with statistical significance indicating the presence
of sexual dimorphism.

Conclusion:
In this study, maxillary sinus parameters like length, width and height in CBCT were significantly different between males and females. Maxillary
sinus can be a useful gender predictor in the forensic identification of the individual.
Unraveling the Complexities of Severe Dengue: Exploring Transfusion Avoidance Strategies with Management of Hematological, Radiological Parameters, Clinical Features
Authors: Singh Ranbeer , Singh Chhaviraj , Singh Swati , Singh Puja 
Published: November 2024

Background: Dengue is an entity caused by mosquito bites in humans. It can change into a life-threatening entity within a very short time. Not every dengue case requires a blood transfusion. While plasma leakage and a drop in platelet count are possible side effects of severe dengue, not all patients suffer from them. The main goals of treatment are to control symptoms such as pain, fever, and dehydration by giving patients enough fluids and medicine.
Aim: To identify the various clinical features associated with dengue along with the manifestations not warranting blood transfusion.
Methods: This observational study includes a total of 300 laboratory-verified dengue patients who were admitted over two months. Patients with other causes of fever were excluded.
Results: The majority of patients (80%) were discovered to be between the ages of 10 and 40, indicating that people in this age bracket are often more afflicted. Males were predominantly affected in comparison to females. Thrombocytopenia is the most prevalent anomaly, present in all the patients. Of these, 3.0 (1.0%) had platelet counts < 10,000/cmm, while 198 (66%) had platelet levels < 10,000–20,000/cmm.
Conclusion: We conclude that the main factors influencing the prognosis are intra-abdominal visceral oedema as gall bladder wall edema, leucopenia (TLC count below 2000 cells/cmm), deranged liver functions, capillary leakage leading to peritoneal/pleural effusions as well as shock, and platelets. Platelets do not determine the severity and fatality of dengue infection.
LIGAS DE SAÚDE E ESPIRITUALIDADE
Authors: Chapini María Florencia 
Published: November 2024

Esse trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma análise sobre as ligas acadêmicas em saúde e espiritualidade, espaços que predominam na formação sobre o tema no Brasil. Procura-se analisar como a formação em espiritualidade dessas organizações é secular, não só pela forma de mobilizar a espiritualidade, se não também por características próprias da configuração da saúde. Por um lado, desde o surgimento das ligas na medicina é possível ver vínculos com o religioso, embora tenha sido inspirada na ciência a inícios do século XX. Por outro, se reconhecem vínculos religiosos diversos, seja na trajetória das pessoas, ou no surgimento das ligas de saúde e espiritualidade. Dessa forma, compreende-se o surgimento das ligas nucleadas na Associação Acadêmica de Ligas e Grupos de Estudo em Espiritualidade e Saúde (AALEGREES), prestando especial atenção aos vínculos entre ciência e religião.
História em quadrinhos como proposta avaliativa de reações nucleares
Authors: Amaral Priscila Ferreira de Sales 
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho consiste da abordagem sobre o uso de Histórias em quadrinhos (HQs) como estratégia de avaliação do processo de ensino e aprendizagem do conteúdo de Reações Nucleares que foi trabalhado em formato assíncrono durante o Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) no ano letivo de 2020. A proposta teve como objetivo motivar e despertar o interesse dos estudantes pela Química por meio da utilização de Metodologias Ativas, em que o estudante é protagonista. Para tanto, os discentes dos primeiros anos dos cursos técnicos de uma Instituição de ensino Federal localizada na região Sul de Minas Gerais participaram de uma atividade em grupo em que deveriam contextualizar a referida disciplina. As histórias em quadrinhos deveriam estar vinculadas a uma das seguintes categorias: Funcionamento de um reator nuclear; O acidente com césio-137; Funcionamento do tratamento por radioterapia; Datação de artefatos antigos e fósseis com carbono-14; Conservação de alimentos; Diagnósticos médicos por radiografia, mamografia e tomografia; Funcionamento das Usinas Nucleares Angra 1, Angra 2 e Angra 3; Bombas atômicas em Hiroshima e Nagasaki. Observou-se que a estratégia utilizada contribuiu de maneira significativa para estreitar a relação entre os estudantes e a docente em épocas de pandemia, além de permitir a contextualização dos conteúdos desenvolvidos.

Esta pesquisa envolve o tema da audiodescrição (AD) como ferramenta pedagógica na escola. Segue os estudos da Linguística (BAKHTIN, 2003; MARCUSCHI, 2008; VOLOCHÍNOV, 2017) e da Educação Especial (MOTTA, 2016). Objetiva analisar a relevância da utilização da audiodescrição de imagens que retratam expressões corporais vivenciadas em práticas corporais como recurso de ensino-aprendizagem numa perspectiva inclusiva. Com base qualitativa, tem como corpus: 06 aulas do Comitê Paralímpico Brasileiro na plataforma “Movimente-se”; e textos pedagógicos disponibilizados aos estudantes do 6º ano do ensino fundamental em Educação física, no Colégio de Aplicação da UFPE, 2022 (duas apresentações em slides). Os resultados mostram que a audiodescrição de expressões corporais abarca vocabulário técnico relevante para compreensão dos conceitos e da natureza das atividades a serem executadas. A análise observa que na escola as aulas comportam a diversidade de imagens para compor o conteúdo informativo curricular, contemplando a variedade de gêneros do discurso (fotografia, desenho, vídeo, esquema, etc.), mas essas não são audiodescritas. Com o jargão próprio e a técnica da audiodescrição, foi realizada uma mostra de AD do material didático como indicativo de viabilidade de uso na escola. Defende-se a urgência do recurso à audiodescrição com fins a inclusão e acessibilidade.

Que literatura para a ERER? Que ERER para a literatura?
Authors: Rodrigues Thiago Martins 
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo tematiza a relação entre as literaturas de autoria negra que circulam pelas escolas e o projeto da Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais (ERER). A hipótese é que os critérios de seleção dessas obras literárias ainda carecem de uma observação crítica e reflexiva acerca das possibilidades de questionamento ao problema do racismo que essa literatura pode expressar. Assim, o objetivo é problematizar o histórico das literaturas de autoria negra no espaço escolar e as condições da sua inserção na escola no momento histórico atual. Para tanto, observa-se o percurso que as literaturas de autoria negra percorreram no Brasil ao longo da segunda metade do século XX e início do século XXI para que finalmente chegassem à escola com as garantias apresentadas pela lei 10.639/2003. A lei significa um ponto de virada e implica uma discussão profunda acerca de qual literatura é a mais apropriada para cumprir com os objetivos propostos pelo projeto da ERER.

Este estudo realiza uma investigação das experiências vivenciadas por membros do projeto Empoderadas IG, um programa de protagonismo negro implementado em uma escola pública em Porto Alegre. A pesquisa visa compreender como a exposição a teorias do Feminismo Negro pode influenciar o empoderamento de jovens por meio da educação antirracista. O percurso metodológico utilizado neste estudo foi por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas contando com a colaboração de oito participantes do projeto, incluindo duas professoras brancas, uma aluna branca, duas alunas não negras e três alunas negras. Foi analisado que através do acesso às teorias elaboradas por mulheres feministas negras, que exploram conceitos como: educação antirracista, descolonização, interseccionalidade, feminismo negro e educação, há um impacto positivo nas vidas das entrevistadas. Elas reconheceram o Feminismo Negro como uma ferramenta valiosa para promover o diálogo e a compreensão das diferenças nas instituições de ensino, destacando sua relevância para a construção de um ambiente mais inclusivo e igualitário.
Spectral transmission of materials used for laser safety
Authors: Lashansky Shimshon , Zilberman Galit , Snir Mordechai , Shechter Amir 
Published: November 2024

The development of lasers at ELOP started in the early 1970’s. For many years the Nd:YAG laser [1,2] at a wavelength of 1.06 microns dominated the Research and Development military laser market. The last two decades have seen the introduction of fiber lasers and many other exotic laser systems at different wavelengths. There are currently more than 200 laser laboratories at the ELOP facility. Most of the laboratories were designed for the development, production and maintenance of 1.06 micron designators and range finders. The laboratories had to meet the safety requirements required by the laser safety standards. Viewing portals, protective goggles, filters, curtains and many other items were acquired to meet these requirements.
The metamorphosis of laser systems and the evolution of new laser systems necessitated a constant reshuffle of laboratories and safety equipment. The obvious items such as laser safety goggles were procured and tested for the new wavelengths. Other materials used around the laboratory were overlooked.
Serendipity is defined as an unplanned fortunate discovery, in this case resulting in the detection of unexpected residual transmission of laser energy. Incorrect assumptions about the spectral transmission of laser protective equipment could result in catastrophic effects. The spectral transmission of previously certified materials was reviewed.
A calibrated Spectrophotometer was used to measure the spectral transmission of the materials from the UV to the Mid Wave IR (MWIR). Other models and methods were used to authenticate the results. The results were also compared to measurements made in previous studies.
This paper discusses the method and summarizes the results. Some interesting unexpected findings were made.
More than Megajoules – The national ignition facility and its supporting cast of lasers
Authors: King Jamie J. 
Published: November 2024

History was made on December 5, 2022, when the National Ignition Facility (NIF) achieved a net energy gain of 1.1 Megajoules (MJ) during an experimental fusion laser shot of 2.05 MJ. This was a momentous event that was many years in the making. Since first firing all 192 beams on March 31, 2009, NIF has undergone adjustments to the laser while adding many diagnostic tools to reach this significant achievement.
Being the world’s largest most energetic laser, NIF is operated and maintained as several unique configured systems, one of these being laser safety. Configuration System Management (CSM) has provided the means to maintain the facility “as built” or “modified” through strict control ensuring safe operation. This paper will discuss NIF’s main laser system, some of its diagnostics and how they were safely used to achieve ignition.
