Authors: БОРЗОВ С.М. , КОТЛЯР П.Е. , ПОТАТУРКИН О.И. 
Published: September 2024

На основе анализа основных современных тенденций в сфере построения гиперспектральной аппаратуры показано, что при создании малогабаритных приборов нового поколения, ориентированных на применение в наземных системах наблюдения, перспективным является использование интегральных оптико-электронных схем и оптических узлов в планарном исполнении. В частности, отмечена целесообразность применения в системах сканирования микрозеркальных матриц, а в системах спектроразделения - планарных интерферометров Маха - Цендера. Это позволяет отказаться от громоздких, медленных и не всегда надёжных механических узлов и создавать приборы с оперативной регистрацией гиперспектральных изображений.
Based on the analysis of the main modern trends in the field of hyperspectral equipment construction, it is shown that the use of integrated optoelectronic circuits and optical nodes in planar design is promising when creating small-sized devices of a new generation focused on applications in ground-based surveillance systems. In particular, the expediency of using micro-mirror matrices in scanning systems and planar Mach-Zehnder interferometers in spectral separation systems is noted. This makes it possible to abandon bulky, slow, and not always reliable mechanical components and create devices with rapid registration of hyperspectral images.

Authors: Alam Sohaib 
Published: September 2024

Aim. The current study explored and compared the efficacy of technology-based instructions, specifically web-mediated, blended, and online instructions, on the enhancement of English language skills among students pursuing Business management (BM) in Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia.
Method. A total of two hundred and four participants were chosen randomly and divided into four groups. The control group, comprising 51 individuals, received general English instruction utilizing the communicative language teaching (CLT) approach, and engaged in exercises that focused on developing their general English skills. On the other hand, the web-mediated learning experimental group, also consisting of 51 participants, received general English instruction through the Duolingo educational model. Similarly, the blended experimental group, comprised of 51 individuals, received general English instruction through the Enriched Virtual Blended Learning Model. Lastly, the online learning group, consisting of 51 participants, received general English instruction through the LMS instructional model.
Results. Prior to the intervention, all students underwent a pretest, and subsequently, a posttest and a delayed posttest were administered to evaluate their proficiency in standard general English, as measured by the TOEFL exam. The study's results indicated that all groups displayed progress in their English language skills. However, the Duolingo and Enriched Virtual learning models demonstrated superior performance in enhancing English language skills compared to the other groups.
Conclusion. These findings hold significant pedagogical implications for curriculum designers, the development of training programs for future HR professionals, material producers, and all stakeholders involved in the field of BM education.

Authors: Gualano Michely Angela Vila , Moura Patrícia dos Santos 
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo, de caráter bibliográfico, tem como objetivo refletir sobre como as práticas de leitura literária podem ser aplicadas nas escolas, no componente de Língua Portuguesa, nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, conforme prescrito nos marcos legais da educação. Para tanto, consideramos o exposto por autores como Cosson (2022), Colomer (2007), Soares (2022) e Solé (1998). Inicialmente, apresenta-se o que os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais – PCN (Brasil, 1998), a Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC (Brasil, 2018), o Referencial Curricular Gaúcho - RCG (Rio Grande do Sul, 2018) e a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional - LDBEN (Brasil,1996) orientam a respeito do incentivo à prática de leitura literária na escola. E, por último, como considerações finais, serão apresentadas algumas reflexões acerca da leitura literária nos anos finais do ensino fundamental. Em relação à leitura literária na escola, percebemos uma certa ressonância discursiva entre os documentos orientadores PCN e BNCC, no que diz respeito à concepção da linguagem (enunciativa-discursiva), à centralidade atribuída ao texto e ao aspecto social e cultural dessas práticas.
Tempo de lembrar: recordações na velhice sobre comida da infância e juventude
Authors: Lima Romilda de Souza , Luft Camila Luiza 
Published: September 2024

Este artigo trata da memória sobre a comida do passado por meio de relatos de pessoas inseridas na categoria de velhos/idosos no Brasil, aquelas acima de 60 anos. Envolvem recordações sobre como eram a alimentação e a comida da infância. Todas as 14 pessoas com quem conversamos optaram por falar das memórias ligadas, sobretudo, ao afeto e aos bons momentos, mesmo quando entremeavam no relato algumas dificuldades de escassez alimentar ou de pobreza. Foram entrevistadas pessoas idosas com idade entre 65 e 84 anos. Todas elas residentes da região Sudoeste do Paraná, a maioria é descendente de italianos, alemães e poloneses. Quase todas nasceram no Rio Grande do Sul ou em Santa Catarina e se mudaram para a referida região depois de adultas, quando da política da Marcha para Oeste, do governo Getúlio Vargas em início da década de 1940. As lembranças trouxeram curiosidades a respeito de práticas alimentares, modos de fazer e uso de termos sobre comida onde mesclam a língua originária dos seus avós/pais, colonos, com a língua portuguesa, criando dialetos. Os depoimentos foram em vários momentos emotivos, trazendo muitas lembranças agradáveis, e outras nem tanto, mas foram considerados pelas idosas (os) que se dispuseram a contar um momento importante, tido como uma oportunidade de falar um pouco do passado para pessoas interessadas em escutá-las. O método foi qualitativo, usando a ferramenta principal da história oral.

Authors: Cechin Vagistão Amanda , Camargo Priesnitz Mariane , Mendes Rodrigues Rodrigo 
Published: September 2024

Introdução: a obesidade é retratada na literatura como uma epidemia mundial de difícil controle. As consequências negativas desse agravo para saúde da população justificam a preocupação dos gestores para a sua prevenção e tratamento, a tornando uma prioridade da saúde pública. Objetivo: delinear o perfil epidemiológico das internações por obesidade nas regiões do Brasil, entre os anos de 2019 e 2023, para os sexos feminino e masculino nas categorias: infância e pré-adolescência, adolescência e adultos e idosos. Método: realizou-se um estudo transversal, observacional, descritivo, com dados de internações hospitalares oriundos do Sistema de Internações Hospitalares do SUS (SIH) agregados por regiões. Foi efetuado o cálculo do coeficiente de variabilidade (CV%) das internações para cada região. Resultados: A região com maior variabilidade no número de internações na infância e pré-adolescência para o sexo feminino foi a região Sul (CV% = 20,04), enquanto para o sexo masculino foi a região Norte (CV% = 27,75). Na categoria adolescência e adultos, a maior variabilidade para o sexo feminino também foi na região Sul (CV% = 6,67) e para o sexo masculino na região Norte (CV% = 6,62). A região Norte apresentou a maior variabilidade no número de internações de idosos, tanto para o sexo feminino (CV% = 11,22) quanto para o sexo masculino (CV% = 9,36). Conclusão: Percebe-se um grande número de hospitalizações relacionadas à obesidade em todas as regiões do país. Mostrando a necessidade de políticas de saúde pública voltadas para modificar esse cenário.
Paleoseismology of the Anqiu–Juxian Fault, Tanlu Fault Zone, Reveals Evidence That It Is the Causative Fault of the 70 B.C. Anqiu Earthquake
Authors: Ji Haomin , Li An , Li Linlin , Wei Zhanyu , Ren Zhikun 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The timing and surface rupture length of large earthquakes are key parameters for seismic hazard studies in the Tanlu fault zone (TLFZ). Existing studies suggest that the M 81/2 Tancheng earthquake in A.D. 1668 may have been generated by the cascading rupture of the Juxian–Tancheng fault (JTF) and the Anqiu–Juxian fault (AJF) in the TLFZ. The Anqiu earthquake in 70 B.C. near the AJF also shook eastern China; however, the latest surface rupturing event along the AJF has not been studied, thus the potential earthquake hazard has large uncertainties. In this study, we excavated three trenches along the AJF to determine the most recent surface rupturing events to address these problems. As evidenced by paleoseismic and chronological investigations, the latest seismic events occurred along the northern segment (S1) and middle segment (S2) at approximately A.D. 63–225 and 2148–48 B.C., respectively. Combined with previous studies and historical records, our study inferred that the Anqiu earthquake in 70 B.C. was generated by S1 and S2, with an estimated magnitude of Mw 7.5 ± 0.2. The most recent event on S3 occurred just before 10297 ± 53 yr B.P. Our study also revealed that the Tancheng M 81/2 earthquake was generated by the JTF alone without surface rupture of the AJF. Thus, the elapsed time of the latest large earthquake along the AJF is more than 2000 yr.

Authors: Ul Ayoub Touseef , Quraishi Athar Ur Nisa 
Published: September 2024

Background: Aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by nasal masks vs binasal prongs.
Methods: This was observational trial where preterm infants less than 32 weeks of gestation with respiratory distress were enrolled after parental consent. Participants: 145 neonates less than 32 weeks gestation requiring nasal CPAP (NCPAP) as a primary mode for respiratory distress, who were treated with either nasal mask (n=45) or nasal prongs (n=99) as interface. Primary outcome: Was the incidence of CPAP failure (need for mechanical ventilation at less than 72 hours).
Results: Failure rate in nasal mask group was 13% vs nasal prongs group was 39.4% and the difference was statistically significant. Secondary outcomes were mean FiO2 requirement at 6 hours, duration of CPAP therapy, hospital stay and nasal trauma. There was 3.7±5.78% reduction in oxygen requirement at 6 hours of CPAP initiation with nasal mask as compared to nasal prongs and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). the CPAP duration in nasal mask group was 3.4± 4.04 days vs nasal prongs group was 4.5±3.52 days and duration of hospital stay in nasal mask group was 15.4±14.19 vs in nasal prongs group was 20.2±13.86 and the both differences were also statistically significant(p<0.05). Nasal mask had no nasal injury (0%) as compared to infants on nasal prongs (23.2%) and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusions: NCPAP with mask as interface is as effective as prongs but causes less nasal trauma and less CPAP duration and hospital stay.
Analysis of epidemiological and clinicopathological risk factors for locoregional recurrence of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma: retrospective analysis of 150 patients with buccal mucosal carcinoma in a tertiary care centre
Authors: Govindasamy Gopu , Ganesan Selvakumar 
Published: September 2024

Background: Oral cavity cancers, the second most common type in India, are responsible for 10% of the overall cancer burden. With a recurrence rate of 30% to 40% and a 5-year survival rate of 50%, these malignancies account for substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in treatment modalities, survival rates following treatment completion have not improved significantly. The present study aimed to establish specific epidemiological and pathological factors which are responsible for recurrence after treatment completion in buccal mucosa cancers.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the data of 150 patients treated for biopsy-proven cancers of the buccal mucosa was undertaken 2 years after treatment completion. Factors such as age, sex, education, lymphovascular invasion, extranodal extension (ENE), perineural invasion, depth of invasion, and pathological margin status were compared between patients who presented with recurrence and those who did not. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: Of the 150 patients, 52 (34.6%) developed a recurrent disease within 2 years. The mean age of the study population was 45.6 years, and males constituted 84% of the included patients. Ipsilateral buccal mucosa was the commonest site of disease recurrence. Neck node metastasis, ENE, and margins of resection <5 mm, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and depth of invasion >10 mm, tobacco consumption, smoking were significantly related to the recurrence of disease.
Conclusions: Neck node metastasis, ENE, and margins of resection <5 mm, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, depth of invasion >10 mm were the histopathological factors associated with recurrence in cancers of the buccal mucosa.
Audit of hypocalcemia as a clinical marker following total thyroidectomy: a retrospective chart review
Authors: Mohanty Sanjeev , Padmanabhan Deepthi 
Published: September 2024

Background: Surgical removal is one of the most important treatment options for the thyroid swellings. Metabolic derangement due to injury to parathyroid glands is one of the complication to be dealt with frequently. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and to analyze various pre-operative risk factors that lead to the same.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at department of ENT and head and neck surgery over a period of 2 years. The level of post-operative serum calcium was analyzed, to determine the incidence of hypocalcemia. In all the patients the following parameters were assessed – age, gender, pre and post-operative serum calcium and type of thyroid disease. Unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The total study population was 65. The mean age of the patients was 45.5 and 83% of the patients were female. The incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia was noted to be 37%. Pre-operative serum calcium (p<0.0001) was found to be significant risk factor (p<0.05) for prediction of post-operative hypocalcaemia. The same was not noted between variables like age, gender and type of thyroid disease and incidence of hypocalcemia.
Conclusions: A thorough knowledge of normal anatomy of neck, possible anatomical variations and parathyroid physiology is of paramount importance to prevent complications during thyroid surgery. Early identification of hypocalcemia can be achieved only by stringent postoperative monitoring, which in turn will reduce morbidity to the patient.

Authors: Acosta Hernández David , Díaz Madero Sergio , Marín Romero Margarito , Macías Villa Héctor L.G , Rendón Macías Mario Enrique , Silva Ramírez Horacio 
Published: September 2024

ANTECEDENTES: La alta morbilidad de Enterocolitis necrosante (ECN) en los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso (RNMBP), requiere la búsqueda de estrategias de prevención que resulten más efectivas que el tratamiento. La evidencia actual apoya el uso de probióticos como factores protectores, teniendo resultados considerables en la reducción de las tasas de morbimortalidad.
OBJETIVO: Determinar si la suplementación probiótica en RNMBP representa un factor preventivo para el padecimiento de ECN.
MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo realizado en la UCIN del Hospital Español de México con 145 RNMBP, donde se evaluó la presencia de ECN en poblaciones suplementadas con L. reuteri, B. lactis y no suplementadas.
RESULTADOS: De 66 pacientes suplementados con probiótico, el 86.4% no presentó ECN (RR 0.23 [IC 95%: 0.12-0.43]; p <0.0001). En los no suplementados, la incidencia de ECN fue de 59.5%. Se obtuvo un NNT de 1.7 a 3.1.
CONCLUSIONES: A pesar de la heterogeneidad en los estudios clínicos de suplementación probiótica, la evidencia está fuertemente a favor del tratamiento con Probióticos para la prevención de ECN. Este estudio evaluó la administración de probiótico a RNMBP y encontró que la suplementación desde los primeros días de vida en dosis de 60 millones de UFC fue más efectiva en la prevención de la presentación de ECN.

Determination of the Flight Capacity of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)1
Authors: Wang HaiXu , Li Nan , Wang XinPu , Bai Ming 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Since invading Xinjiang, China in 2017, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), commonly known as the tomato leafminer or the South American tomato pinworm moth, has continuously expanded its scope of devastation. Because flight is a major means by which insects disperse, an insect flight mill was employed to elucidate the physiological boundaries and basic parameters of T. absoluta flight biology. The system was used to measure the average flight distance, flight time, and flight speed of adult male and female T. absoluta of different ages, including 5-d-old (post emergence) adults in different mating states that had received supplementary nutrition (5% honey water). Tests of 12 h of continuous suspension in a flight mill showed that 4 through 7-d-old adults had strong flying ability, but 5-d-old adults were the strongest flyers. The mean (±SEM) flight distance, flight time, and flight speed of 5-d-old females were 1.805 ± 0.040 km, 1.467 ± 0.036 h, and 1.231 ± 0.226 km/h, respectively. The mean (±SEM) flight distance, time, and speed of 5-d-old males were 1.627 ± 0.363 km, 1.950 ± 0.056 h, and 0.834 ± 0.202 km/h, indicating significant differences in flight ability between male and female adults. After feeding on 5% honey water, the flight ability of 5-d-old T. absoluta improved significantly compared with the control. The distance, time, and flight speed of honey-water fed 5-d-old virgin females increased by 16.73%, 8.32%, and 8.37%, compared with the control (fed honey-free water). The flight distance, time, and speed of 5-d-old males increased by 7.87%, 0.56%, and 7.07% respectively, compared with the control. After mating, the distance, time, and flight speed of 5-d-old female adults increased by 11.91%, 0.48%, and 11.29% compared with virgin female adults. However, after 5-d-old males mated, their corresponding flight ability decreased by 11.13%, 3.34%, and 7.34%, compared with virgin male adults. In summary, sex, supplementary nutrition, and mating status all have a significant impact on the flight ability of T. absoluta.

Published: September 2024

The study investigates the use and importance of transliteration in selected Nigerian novels as well as the discourse in traditional ceremonies such as marriage and funeral in Urhobo and Ukwuani in Delta State. Unlike in literary works where some works have been done in transliteration, none has been carried out on the English used in traditional ceremonies. Even in literary works, studies on transliteration are mostly aimed at how English is "domesticated" to reflect African culture. None of the studies has actually specified what aspects of African culture each transliterated expression reflects. Owing to this gap in literature, this work aims at providing a socio-linguistic explanations for the special linguistic choices made in Achebe's Arrow of God, Anthills of the Savannah, Chimamanda Ngozi, Adichie's Purple Hibiscus and in traditional ceremonies. The theoritical framework adopted for the study is the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis of communication accomodation, which attempts to explain the relationship between language and the interpretation of social reality. Data were sourced from the novels and the speeches of spokesmen in marriage and funeral ceremonies of heterogeneous nature and were analysed through descriptive method. The following research questions guided the analysis:
i. Are there defining characteristics that determine the English used in the novels and the traditional ceremonies?
ii. Are there similarities between the language used in the novels and the ones used in the traditional ceremonies?
iii. Is the variety of English used relevant to African culture?
iv. What specific aspects of African culture do the linguistic choices made reflect?
The findings from the study show that the expressions identified reflect and promote African culture. The findings also show that there are similarities between the language of the novels and that of traditional ceremonies.
