OBJECTIVE
Determining the long-term success of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate the impact of clinical and radiological factors on ETV success in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus.

METHODS
The study included patients < 18 years old with hydrocephalus who underwent ETV between March 2014 and May 2021. Data including patient age, gender, history of previous shunt surgery, previous external ventricular drain placement, intraventricular hemorrhage history, and postoperative meningitis were extracted from medical records. Imaging features such as aqueductal stenosis, third ventricle floor bowing, displaced lamina terminalis, pulsatility index (PI), and maximum diameter of the cortical subarachnoid space (CSAS) were recorded for each patient using preoperative CT scans. Two independent neurosurgeons measured the CSAS maximum diameter and the PI. CSAS measurements were obtained on axial slices of the preoperative CT scans, whereas the PI was based on intraoperative third ventricle pulsatility. Patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery, with failure defined as the need for ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement or death attributable to hydrocephalus.

RESULTS
Ninety-eight children with a mean age of 16.39 ± 19.07 months underwent ETV for hydrocephalus. No deaths were recorded, but over 6 months and 1 year of follow-up, 12.2% and 22.4% of patients, respectively, experienced documented ETV failure requiring VPS placement. At the 6-month follow-up, a smaller maximum diameter of the CSAS was significantly associated with ETV failure; multivariate analysis revealed that CSAS maximum diameter was a predictor of 6-month ETV failure. At the 1-year follow-up, a lower PI was significantly associated with ETV failure, and multivariate analysis confirmed the PI as a significant predictor of ETV failure within 1 year after surgery. CSAS and PI measurements were repeated to assess interrater reliability: the intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.897 and 0.669 for CSAS and PI, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
This study found that the CSAS maximum diameter and the PI are predictors of ETV failure at 6 months and 1 year, respectively. These findings highlight the importance of considering specific factors such as the CSAS and PI when assessing the likelihood of ETV success in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus. Further research and consideration of these factors may help optimize patient selection and improve outcomes for those undergoing ETV as a treatment for hydrocephalus.

Published: September 2024

The paper provides the examination of economic sustainability based on the impact of socio-cultural factors and the environmental deterioration factors. This empirical analysis focuses particularly on G7 countries, and panel time series during the period 2000-2022 are used to test this relationship. It applies several variables to determine these impacts that are tested with a principal component analysis and generalized least square estimation. According to Hofstede (1980) which is explained the culture dimensions (masculinity, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and indulgence); and U-shaped in Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) which showed the relationship between environmental deterioration and income level. Socio-cultural variables are divided into three groups: “socio-development”, “Hofstede dimensions”, and “economic development”. Environmental deterioration variables are divided into two groups: “air pollution”, and “water pollution”. The paper indicates the hypothesis that socio-cultural variables significantly impact economic sustainability; and the significant impact of environmental deterioration variables on economic sustainability. The findings shows that socio-cultural negatively impacts economic sustainability, and environmental deterioration positively affects economic sustainability. Different tests apply to determine these effects, Hausman test to determine either Fixed effect or Random effect, Heteroscedasticity test (Durbin Watson test), Persan’s CD to test the serial correlation and Jarque-Berra test to confirm the normality distribution.

Cross-cultural competence (CCC) is leaders' most critical skill set in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education because it can help them effectively manage cultural diversity. The research provides insights into the potential of AI to foster more inclusive and culturally aware educational environments for STEM students using a theory that combines Constructivism and Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). The study discusses two research questions: (1) How can AI-driven tools be used in STEM education to enhance cross-cultural sensitivity and communication? (2) What is the impact of AI-facilitated reflective practices on students' self-awareness of cultural biases? This research shows how AI-based language translators and cultural simulations enable learners to adapt to different cultures. According to Constructivism, learning occurs when learners actively construct their knowledge from experiences towards cultural sensitivity, understanding, and respecting other cultures while reducing stereotypes. CHAT, on its part, views AI as aligning with AI as one of the artifacts or tools that are at the disposal of human beings in order to facilitate social interaction; thus, it has the potential to enhance intercultural communication where verbal cues are not only linguistic but also non-verbal. A total of 228 respondents were reached through surveys, resulting in preliminary results showing improved CCC due to accommodative devices such as culturally-specific software simulations or language translators employing AI models. This study adds value to the existing literature by presenting empirical evidence of how AI can foster CCC in STEM education. It highlights the imperative of AI's theoretical and practical applications in educational curricula.

Published: September 2024

Vários fatores podem estar relacionados aos déficits na aquisição e automatização da leitura, como a dificuldade no processamento visual, que reduz a qualidade das imagens captadas. Essa condição é hoje conhecida como estresse visual (síndrome de Irlen), que é um distúrbio do processamento visual caracterizado por distorções visuais do texto e desconforto progressivo na leitura (IRLEN; 1991). Sendo assim, desenvolvemos a pesquisa de Mestrado, na qual se propôs a identificar a compreensão dos professores do AEE a respeito do estresse visual. Para responder aos objetivos da pesquisa adotou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica, de campo com caráter descritivo. O embasamento teórico foi consultado nos principais autores brasileiros: Guimarães, Guimarães e Vilhena. Participaram da pesquisa de campo descritiva 24 professores de salas de recursos multifuncionais. Com relação ao conhecimento a respeito do estresse visual, cerca de 25% tem conhecimento razoável, 54,2% pouco conhecimento. Diante do exposto, cabe ressaltar que este estudo teve o propósito de trazer um novo conhecimento para auxiliar o profissional da educação e esta pesquisa oferece subsídios para o trabalho docente.
