Published: April 2024

AbstractGeopolymer concrete (GPC) is a rising eco-conscious substitute for traditional cement-based concrete, bringing the construction industry closer to sustainability. Self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) enhances the concrete flowability and fills the congested reinforced areas without vibrators in concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels and canals. This study aims to analyze the impact of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (NS) on the rheological and mechanical properties of SCGC to optimize the dosage of NS in SCGC. For this purpose, NS (0–6%) blended in partially distributed binders of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (50:50) with 0.5 alkaline binder ratio, 2% superplasticizers (9 kg m−3) (MasterGlenium SKY 8233) and 12% extra water (54 kg m−3). Sodium silicate solution and sodium hydroxide ratio of 2.5 was used for this study. It is observed that SCGC with 3% NS replacement complied with the guidelines of EFNARC. According to the T50cm slump flow test, V-funnel test, and L-box test results meet the guidelines of up to 4% NS replacement, and 3% NS addition offers excellent mechanical properties in SCGC. This study concluded that the replacement of 3% of NS improved the fresh and hardened properties of SCGC, which can apply to construction.
From everyday life to measurable problematic smartphone use: The development and validation of the Smartphone Use Problems Identification Questionnaire (SUPIQ)

AbstractBackground and aimsProblematic smartphone use (PSU) has gained attention, but its definition remains debated. This study aimed to develop and validate a new scale measuring PSU-the Smartphone Use Problems Identification Questionnaire (SUPIQ).MethodsUsing two separate samples, a university community sample (N = 292) and a general population sample (N = 397), we investigated: (1) the construct validity of the SUPIQ through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses; (2) the convergent validity of the SUPIQ with correlation analyses and the visualized partial correlation network analyses; (3) the psychometric equivalence of the SUPIQ across two samples through multigroup confirmatory factor analyses; (4) the explanatory power of the SUPIQ over the Short Version of Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-SV) with hierarchical multiple regressions.ResultsThe results showed that the SUPIQ included 26 items and 7 factors (i.e., Craving, Coping, Habitual Use, Social Conflicts, Risky Use, Withdrawal, and Tolerance), with good construct and convergent validity. The configural measurement invariance across samples was established. The SUPIQ also explained more variances in mental health problems than the SAS-SV.Discussion and conclusionsThe findings suggest that the SUPIQ shows promise as a tool for assessing PSU. Further research is needed to enhance and refine the SUPIQ as well as to investigate its clinical utility.
Strategizing for the Future: A Mixed Method Approach to Department of Education Employees Retirement Readiness and Lifestyle Planning
Authors: M. Tolondon Flor Angelie , C. Ortizo Gaudy 
Published: April 2024

This study determines the relationship between the level of retirement readiness and the extent of the lifestyle of DepEd employees to come up with a retirement readiness program. This is an explanatory sequential mixed-method study, comprising a cross-sectional survey and interviews was undertaken. Retirement Readiness in terms of health, financial, and contingency planning was examined and the extent of the lifestyle of DepEd retired employees in terms of health, spending habits, and recreational activities were also explored. Survey data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS using non-parametric statistics and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Statistical results show that indicators in retirement readiness have a moderate level in terms of obtaining emergency funds and a moderate extent of lifestyle in terms of spending for their needs. This indicates that retirees need to strengthen their ability to establish savings for emergencies and prioritize their personal needs. Qualitative data shows that in the event of an emergency, essential resources to rely on include dependable communication channels, emergency substances, and the right of entry to emergency services some of these are having financial support from children and finding ways and means to generate funds.
The results indicate the need for a retirement readiness program that moves beyond merely raising awareness and provides information on a positive health approach, good financial management, and improving socialization skills to provide a holistic approach to the retirement readiness of DepEd Employees.
A ESCRITA DE RESISTÊNCIA INDÍGENA: UMA REFLEXÃO À LUZ DA CONTEMPORANEIDADE
Authors: Gonçalves Dias Eveline , Sales Araújo Naiara 
Published: April 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo fazer uma reflexão a respeito da escrita de autoria indígena como forma de resistência, tendo em vista a condição subalterna inscrita sobre o sujeito feminino cingida pela conjuntura histórica da formação cultural da sociedade contemporânea, e pelo processo diaspórico vivenciado pelos povos originários, tematizado pela autora supracitada. Nossa reflexão leva em consideração a confluência de vozes nativas prospectivas, e as percepções da literatura indígena como um movimento de resistência e afirmação identitária. A escrita indígena de autoria feminina ancorada nas tradições e saberes ancestrais fomentam uma nova perspectiva literária, e rompem com o silenciamento secular dos povos nativos atravessados pelas implicações do projeto imperialista. A fundamentação teórica está ancorada à luz dos pressupostos de críticos-literários e teorias de: Gaiatry Spivak (2010), Liane Schneider (2008), Aníbal Quijano (2005), Daniel Munduruku (2011), Graça Graúna (2013), Eliane Potiguara (2004), entre outros estudos pertinentes.

UM RETRATO DA POESIA PRODUZIDA NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE EM CAXIAS-MA: ENTREVISTA COM SILVANA MENESES
Authors: Silva Max Mateus Moura da , Costa Ruan Carlos Moura , Rocha Marinalva Aguiar Teixeira Rocha 
Published: April 2024

A riqueza do texto literário se manifesta na multiplicidade de sentidos que são evocados ao abarcar temáticas plurais, colaborando na formação do pensamento crítico do leitor. Tais aspectos fazem com que a literatura se configure como indispensável a todo sujeito. Todavia, o que se observa, por vezes, é que o texto literário distituído do seu valor e tratado como irrelevante. Assim sendo, a presente entrevista realizada com a poeta caxiense Silvana Meneses objetiva discutir a produção literária da autora no cenário local e, em paralelo a isso, situar a produção contemporânea da cidade de Caxias-MA. Tendo em vista que a autora integra a Academia Caxiense de Letras (ACL), seu lugar de fala é referendado pelo contato que possui com artistas e grupos artísticos na cidade. Cabe apontar que esta entrevista é parte integrante de um projeto maior que aborda a produção da referida escritora a partir de um viés linguístico-expressivo, o que tem permitido discutir seus textos literários no interior do espaço acadêmico.

EDUCAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA E INTERCULTURALIDADE CRÍTICA: (TRANS) FORMAÇÕES NA PRÁXIS DO PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA INGLESA EM PRÉ-SERVIÇO
Authors: Sá Martins Ana Patricia , Ramos Arouche Ilza Leia 
Published: April 2024

Estudos no campo da Linguística, como o de Makoni e Pennycook (2007), têm argumentado por (des)invenções no âmbito do ensino de línguas e demais componentes dos estudos da linguagem. Como professoras formadoras de professores, entendemos que as invenções são construções sociais e que apenas se consolidam por meio de crenças e verdades (com)partilhadas. Nesse sentido, apresentamos, neste artigo, uma discussão acerca de (trans) formações oportunizadas durante experiências didáticas com licenciandos/as de um curso de Letras/Inglês em uma universidade pública sediada no estado do Maranhão. De modo particular, elegemos a interculturalidade como uma invenção recorrente no campo da educação linguística e buscamos propiciar o exercício da suspeita (MONTE MÓR, 2017) sobre como a noção de interculturalidade tem sido inventada nesse campo e quais poderiam ser vias alternativas de sua (des)invenção. Nesse exercício, notamos indícios de um viés de interculturalidade funcional (WALSH, 2009) nas interações dos/das discentes nas postagens de um fórum virtual acerca da hegemonia da língua inglesa . Os dados gerados na pesquisa evidenciam a interculturalidade crítica como alternativa de (des)invenção no campo da educação linguística, fomentando perspectivas de ensino/aprendizagem pautadas em bases epistemológicas decoloniais e suleadas.
DO EU À ESCRITA: ESTUDO DA AUTOFICÇÃO E DA METAFICÇÃO EM PUTAS ASSASSINAS, DE ROBERTO BOLAÑO
Authors: Almeida Costa Pinheiro Maria Iranilde 
Published: April 2024

Este artigo propõe-se a estudar o livro de contos Putas assassinas (2001), do escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño, tomando-o como uma obra na qual se inscreve um discurso autoficcional, ao tempo que problematiza a escrita como ofício irrenunciável e ato de coragem. Visa-se analisar, na obra, o sujeito autoral que aponta para fora de um eu, revelando outros sujeitos, e, também, para uma interioridade denunciadora da memória ficcionalizada, ao mesmo tempo em que se constrói metaficcionalmente numa nova subjetividade que não se apaga no texto nem se apropria de uma verdade transcendente à obra. Desse modo, o estudo evidencia a inserção do autor no universo do narrado, conferindo-lhe um protagonismo ficcional que potencializa o evento autobiográfico, e a presença de uma escrita de si que reverbera para o próprio fazer literário, demarcando um procedimento autorreflexivo em que a ficção é questionada dentro dela mesma. Como apoio teórico, o estudo recorre, entre outros, a Foucault (2009), Barthes (2012), Klinger (2012), Bernardo (2010), além de críticos e estudiosos da escrita de Roberto Bolaño.

Highlights:
1. This study investigated the etiology of paralytic strabismus, a condition that requires further research to prevent its incidence, particularly in adults.2. The findings of this study provided valuable insight into the primary etiology of paralytic strabismus and its underlying factors.

Abstract
Paralytic strabismus is the most common cause of adult-onset strabismus. It can result from paralysis of the third, fourth, or sixth cranial nerves, either separately or in combination, which are responsible for innervating the ocular motor muscles. Paralysis of these cranial nerves occurs due to congenital disorders, neoplasms, trauma, intracranial processes, idiopathic diseases, and other causes. This study aimed to determine the etiology of paralytic strabismus incidence at the Department of Ophthalmology of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, between 2017 and 2022. This study employed a retrospective methodology and utilized total sampling. The medical records of patients diagnosed with paralytic strabismus were used to collect secondary data. Out of the total of 282 cases, the most common condition was combined ocular motor cranial nerve palsy, which accounted for 102 (36.2%) cases. The main factors contributing to this condition were neoplasms (37.2%), intracranial processes (25.5%), trauma (25.5%), other causes (8.8%), idiopathic diseases (2%), and congenital disorders (1%). The incidence of third cranial nerve palsy and sixth cranial nerve palsy was equally prevalent, each accounting for 86 (30.5%) cases. Meanwhile, fourth cranial nerve palsy was the least frequent with just eight (2.8%) cases. This study concluded that the most frequent etiology of paralytic strabismus was combined ocular motor nerve paralysis, which primarily results from neoplasms.

Published: April 2024

Introduction. Difficulty in choosing of the direction of study for prospective students with disabilities is the one of the problems in the implementation of higher inclusive education. Difficulties in professional self-determination are due to both objective (low efficiency of information and educational work of educational institutions’ administrations) and subjective (inability of personal transformation to determine the most adequate professions) reasons.Purpose setting. The research aims to determine the professions in demand for girls and boys with disabilities, give a factorial assessment of determining the prestige of selected professions, depending on gender preferences.Methodology and methods of the study. The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of professional self-determination of 381st−2nd year with disabilities, taking into account gender and educational differences (school/college) before entering a university, obtained using the author’s questionnaire filled out in Google Forms.Results. The obtained results revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0,05) in professional preferences of girls and boys. Post-college students made the most informed choices. Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the need to adapt the information and career guidance of universities, taking into account the value demand of persons with special needs.
Wide-Band Low Phase-Noise Signal Generation Using Coaxial Resonator in Cascaded Phase Locked Loop
Authors: Blatnik Aljaž , Batagelj Boštjan 
Published: April 2024

The generation of high-quality wideband frequency sweeps presents a significant challenge, particularly in modern telecommunication, radar, and measurement systems where miniaturization is paramount. While phase-locked loops (PLLs) have become the dominant technique for signal generation, their application in broadband sweeps necessitates fractional-N operation. This, in turn, degrades phase noise and introduces unwanted spurs. This paper proposes a novel approach for broadband signal generation. By cascading two PLLs and utilizing a coaxial resonator, we achieve a high-performance oscillator that operates without the excessive fractional spurs, maintaining their level below -80 dBc across the entire frequency band. The prototype demonstrates non-degraded phase noise performance, reaching -102 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and -121 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset for signal at 10 GHz. Despite significant frequency jumps, our design achieves lock times below 41 µs. These results, supported by theoretical analysis, validate the proposed method&#039;s effectiveness in generating low-noise broadband frequency sweeps, ideal for local oscillator applications.
