Análise de desempenho estudantil mediante técnicas estatísticas
Authors: Barros Pedro Henrique Alves , Lanzillotti Regina Serrão 
Published: July 2024

Na Rede Pública de Ensino, o docente de Matemática do 6º ao 9º ano, depara-se com o abismo entre o planejamento pedagógico e o aprendizado. As avaliações acrescidas de bônus por atividades complementares, talvez sejam excessos extraclasse, pois geram resultados irreais na avaliação do ensino. Optou-se pelo tratamento estatístico descritivo segundo histogramas, medidas de posição e de dispersão, coeficientes de assimetria, curtos e de correlação de Pearson. Na estatística inferencial adotou-se a ANOVA para a comparação das médias. A avaliação estatística descritivas indicou alta variabilidade nos resultados das avaliações escritas, sendo que o coeficiente de correlação entre as avaliações escritas correspondeu a 0,67, o que indica uma associação pouco expressiva. A comparação dessas médias mostrou diferença significante entre as médias de Matemática nas avaliações escritas e extraclasse, o que se percebe a expressiva diferença na construção das avaliações do conhecimento curricular estruturado em Matemática e a avaliação extraclasse. Cabe sugerir que a avaliação personalizada teria maior coerência com o perfil do aluno em função da heterogeneidade observada nas avalições inerentes as conceito da Matemáticas que serão o alicerce no cotidiano do corpo discente. O combate ao desestímulo gerado ao ‘‘fracasso escolar deve ser pensado que as avaliações formativas sejam possíveis de fornecer ao estudante maior feedback, direcionando-o ao conhecimento estruturado com adequação as exigências do seu cotidiano.
JOB STATUS OF WOMEN IN SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY: A SUSTAINABILITY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Blaique Lama 
Published: July 2024

Objective: This study aims at exploring the relationship between the job status of female engineers and the lack of development opportunities in the workplace considering the United Nation’s Social Development Goal number 5 (Gender Equality) and amid sever low representation of women in science, engineering, and technology (SET) industries worldwide. A discussion of the leaky pipeline, a term used by scholars to indicate the progressive decline in the number of women opting the field of SET in the professional practice, is presented (Berry et al., 2022; Kemp, 2021).

Method: Quantitative approach was administered in one of the leading universities in Dubai, targeting graduate and postgraduate female students in SET majors. Data analysis was conducted using ANOVA testing.

Results: The findings of the research suggest that the job status of female engineers and the lack of development opportunities at the workplace are not related with positive inferences about the progressive evolution that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is witnessing in terms of gender diversity and inclusion (Alblooshi & May, 2018).

Originality/Value: Major governmental initiatives regarding gender equality are represented and discussed. The study provides positive insights related to the under-representation of females in SET sectors and a gateway for future research amid lack of literature pertaining to this subject in the Arab world.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in mammographic screening in Norway
BreastScreen Norway discusses how the results from their screening programme for early breast cancer detection can influence future artificial intelligence to streamline early breast cancer detection. Breast cancer is a significant global health concern, with more than 2 million new cases diagnosed and over half a million women dying from the disease annually.(1) Many countries, including Norway, have implemented mammographic screening to detect breast cancer in an early stage of disease development, as an early intervention has clear benefits on the disease outcome. In Norway, all women aged 50 to 69 years are invited to biennial mammographic screening through the national screening program, BreastScreen Norway.(2)

Developing a robust soil health indicator selection framework
The EU Soil Health Monitoring Law proposes twelve main soil indicators for reporting soil health. There is a need to ensure that these indicators and other subsequent measures are robust for their purpose. Since there is no single indicator for soil health, a robust framework for selecting indicators using agreed-upon criteria is needed(1,2). A summary of the selection framework criteria is discussed below and summarized in Figure 1. This framework is based on synthesizing accepted and tested methods to assess current indicators and provide a basis for selecting new ones in the future. Selected indicators will be dependent on their ability to assess soil ecosystem functions and services(3).

Soil biodiversity is essential for building environmental resilience
The School of Agriculture and Environment and Institute of Agriculture at the University of Western Australia recognise the importance of soil biodiversity in managing soil conditions and building resilience against environmental changes. Soil is a biodiversity ‘hotspot.’ The diversity of organisms in soil is even greater than that found in above-ground ecosystems. Soil biodiversity is dictated by its surroundings, and the communities present comprise groups of organisms that are interdependent. Indeed, soil organisms are represented in all six Kingdoms (Monera, Archaea, Protista, Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae) and fulfill key roles in important processes relevant to soil health, including those that regulate global nutrient and climate cycles.
Neutrinos, light, matter, and the unification of gravitational and nuclear forces

Neutrinos, light, matter, and the unification of gravitational and nuclear forces
The discovery of neutrinos and the measurement of their masses are significant events in the history of science. The Rotating Lepton Model provides a useful basis for understanding particles and nuclear reactions, highlighting the importance of Special Relativity, Gravity, and Quantum Mechanics in our universe. Professor Constantinos G. Vayenas explains. The discovery of neutrinos by Pauli some 90 years ago and the measurement of their masses by Kajita and McDonald (1) some 20 years ago constitute significant developments in the history of science. The recent (2023) (2) detection of neutrino production during the proton-proton collision experiments at CERN confirms the basic assumption of the Rotating Lepton Model (RLM) (2020), (3) i.e. that protons and neutrons comprise rotating neutrino triads, the former with a central positron. This implies that all matter in our Universe, including electromagnetic radiation, (4) comprises only five elementary particles: The three neutrinos (ν1, ν2, and ν3), the electron, and the positron. It also implies that two forces (gravity and electromagnetism) suffice for describing the interactions between these five particles and the concomitant production of all other composite particles, such as hadrons and bosons.

Arc: A new target for treating alzheimer's disease
Antonius M. VanDongen, Associate Professor from Duke University, walks us through Arc, a new target for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Alois Alzheimer is a German psychiatrist credited with identifying the first case of the debilitating disease named after him. In 1906, he described neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques in his patient’s brain as unique hallmarks of her dementia. Advances in neuroimaging, genetics, and molecular biology have expanded our understanding of the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) significantly. But despite heroic efforts to find a cure, there is currently no therapy that prevents, stabilizes or reverses the progression of this disorder that is poised to take on epidemic proportions as the world ages.

Microbiomes for the future of sustainable wheat production
Researchers from the WHEATBIOME project joined forces to address several challenges related to sustainable wheat production and consumption, revealing the role of microbes in shaping the Future of Healthy Food. Food systems are facing unprecedented challenges due to the increase in the world population, climate change, and geopolitical instability, which threaten food security and prices. Additionally, systemic inefficiencies and massive food waste from crop harvest to consumption have been observed. This scenario imposes an urgent unification of different scientific research areas to advance knowledge on a future-proof agrifood system. Wheat is a staple crop facing stagnant production in Europe due to increasing biotic and abiotic stresses exacerbated by climate change. Its nutritional importance spans human and animal consumption, yet its immunogenicity poses health risks like gluten sensitivity and celiac disease.

Promoting clean energy in the Navajo nation
University President Elmer Guy examines the vital role of educational institutions like Navajo Technical University in empowering communities and supporting their efforts to achieve clean energy development goals. The Navajo Nation encompasses more than 25,000 square miles of desert and scrubland in the southwestern US. The Navajo People, or Diné as they refer to themselves, have long advocated for self-determination. Through the Navajo Technical University (NTU), the Navajo community has the ability to educate its youth in line with its traditions, cultures, and beliefs. However, the lack of Navajo engineering faculty results in a scarcity of role models for engineering students.

Machine learning for water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus policy
Dr Janez Sušnik, from the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and NEXOGENESIS Coordinator, guides us through the use of machine learning for improving policy advice in the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus. Water, energy, and food (WEF) form a coherent interconnected system often referred to as the WEF nexus (Hoff, 2011). The WEF nexus interacts strongly with ecosystems, forming the wider WEFE nexus. Ecosystems provide the ‘base’ of the WEFE nexus, helping ensure the quantity, quality, timing, and accessibility of WEF resources, for example, by providing services including water purification, contributing freshwater provisioning, pollution reduction and control; maintaining healthy landscapes, contributing towards crop growth for food and energy crops; biodiversity providing pollinating insects for crop production and; forest and floodplain ecosystems provide biomass that as act as a global carbon sink and oxygen supply (Bell et al. 2016; Martinez- Hernandez et al. 2017).

BRAV3 Project: Cardiac regenerative medicine
Prof Felipe Prósper, Head of Department, and Dr Manuel Mazo, from the University of Navarra & Clínica Universidad de Navarra, shares his expertise in cardiovascular diseases, focusing on the work of the BRAV3 project, which includes research in cardiac regenerative medicine. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), that is, those affecting the heart and the blood vessels, account for almost half of deaths worldwide. Amongst them, cardiac ischemia, often termed myocardial infarction, is the leading single cause of death globally. The increase in population ageing, added to the normalisation of sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles, has turned this disease into a healthcare emergency. Patients who survive the acute insult are chained to lifelong medical oversight and multi-medication.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA
Authors: Soares Lorena Muniz , Sá Marcelle Perpétuo Rodrigues da , Santos Irvana Góes dos 
Published: July 2024

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender os atuais desafios das Políticas Públicas na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica na construção de um conhecimento crítico. Nesse contexto, como problemática, buscamos analisar em que medida fatores históricos impactam nos dias atuais a formação oferecida por essa modalidade, no que se refere à formação de professores diante dessa perspectiva profissional e tecnológica? Diante dos fatores históricos, primeiramente, a educação profissional está presente no Brasil desde a época colonial e possui marcos que dividiram a modalidade essencialmente para a classe trabalhadora, contribuindo para uma educação dualista que separa a qualidade de ensino entre os mais ricos e pobres. Nos anos 2000, os objetivos dessa modalidade passaram por mudanças. A atual Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) foi implementada em 2008 sob a Lei 11.892, que transformou os CEFET nos atuais Institutos Federais, com um ensino que abrange desde o ensino médio até o nível da Pós-Graduação. Apesar dos novos objetivos de qualificar e preparar para o mercado de trabalho com a consolidação de um ensino crítico, que torna o aluno autônomo e conhecedor de sua realidade social, ao observar a formação docente na EPT, é notável que muitos professores iniciam na docência sem a qualificação adequada, assumindo diferentes responsabilidades, elaborando planos de ensino em diferentes níveis educacionais e enfrentando extensa jornada de trabalho, entre outras funções. Assim, trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos e livros que abordam a temática pesquisada, com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados encontrados destacam que, apesar da formação inicial e continuada ser exigida pela lei aos professores ingressantes nos Institutos Federais e de possuírem o direito de participar de formação inicial, que pode ser uma segunda licenciatura ou uma Pós-graduação lato sensu, constata-se, contudo, que mesmo após 15 anos da criação dos Institutos Federais ainda se carece de políticas públicas educacionais que preparem para o ensino verticalizado, do ensino médio à Pós-graduação, o que contribui para um ensino tradicional e reprodutor benéfico para o capital e que dificulta uma formação crítica docente e, posteriormente, discente.
Musical Play as Therapy in an Early Intervention Programme
Authors: Wylie Julie , Foster-Cohen Susan 
Published: July 2024

Effective therapeutic use of music for very young children with multi-system developmental disabilities involves engaging them and their parents/caregivers in musical play activities that can regulate the children’s (and parents’) physiological systems, strengthen parent-child relationships, and open children’s minds to physical, social emotional and intellectual learning and development; both in the context of music therapy and in response to goals set by a multi-disciplinary team. This article, based on a presentation given at the ISME conference in Greece in 2012, describes the therapy programmes at the Champion Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand and presents four case studies designed to illustrate the type and range of activities that have been shown to be effective over twenty years of experience. They show how when music practitioners follow the child’s lead, and draw the parents into the interaction as full partners, the well-being of children is enhanced and their parents are encouraged to engage in similar activities at home, thereby extending music’s therapeutic reach and effectiveness.
