Published: December 2023

When examining the current media landscape, we can see that technologies play a major role in our daily lives. No one is immune to its effects even elders, who are typically seen as being removed from these situations, have long since given up their role of "laggards" (Rogers, 1995) and are now "digital immigrants" (Prensky, 2001). It represents an opportunity for them to express themselves creatively as anyone, they can generate, publish, and broadcast content if they have the necessary tools and acquire the right know-how. A study being conducted at Leiria Polytechnic Institute's ESECS (Higher School of Education and Social Sciences) for the Senior TV project, the aim is for a group of seniors (from the Polytechnic’s 60+ project) to produce, record, direct, and edit TV news programming (interviews and reports). This content is already accessible via YouTube.
We believe that, by being taught how to produce TV, elders might benefit from this experience in a wide array of areas. It helps in their social relationships as well as raise their levels of media and digital literacy and impose a moment of permanent education.

Published: December 2023

É sabido que a institucionalização de indivíduos seniores pode alterar o seu risco e estado nutricionais e comprometer a sua capacidade funcional, e a sua saúde física e mental frequentemente.
Este estudo prospetivo observacional realizou-se num lar de idosos da Ilha Terceira, como parte integrante de um estudo mais abrangente, com início em janeiro de 2023, aprovado pela Comissão de Ética para a Saúde da Universidade Católica Portuguesa. A amostra é constituída por 33 utentes, às quais foram recolhidos/calculados dados de avaliação de risco e de estado nutricionais (dados antropométricos, MNA), de capacidade funcional e de risco de sarcopenia (SARC-F e dinamometria), dados clínicos e de saúde mental (MMSE), e qualidade e satisfação com a vida (WHOQOL-Bref; SWLS). Os dados foram tratados em IBM SPSS versão 23.
Avaliaram-se 33 mulheres, cuja média de idades foi de 85±10 (65-100), com classificação por MNA de 63.7% (n=21) de mulheres em risco de desnutrição/desnutridas, e com valores de dinamometria inferiores ao percentil<10% de 75.8% (n=25). Dez-mulheres (30.3%) tiveram IMC sugestivo de magreza (<22 kg/m2); 30,3% (n=10) das mulheres pontuaram com pouca/ou nenhuma qualidade de vida e satisfação com a vida, mostrando associações positivas significativas com a dinamometria, o baixo IMC, um score mais baixo no MNA e um baixo MNSE e SARC-F, p<0.05.
Os resultados mostram que as mulheres em risco nutricional e/ou desnutridas têm uma perceção da sua qualidade de vida e uma pontuação cognitiva mais baixa, associada a maior sarcopenia, e a pior estado nutricional. Apesar de todo o conhecimento e esforços mantém-se a necessidade de rastrear e intervir atempadamente nesta população.
Eu não sei quem ele é – Um caso clínico sobre Síndrome de Capgras
Authors: Maria Santos  , Tiago Tavares  , Dora Monteiro  
Published: December 2023

Sintomas neuropsiquiátricos na demência são comuns e geralmente mais nocivos que os sintomas cognitivos. A síndrome de Capgras, uma das apresentações destes sintomas, ocorre quando a pessoa acredita que membros da família foram substituídos por um impostor. Isto torna-se ainda mais problemático quando se trata de idosos frágeis, isolados e com pouca retaguarda social.
Uma mulher de 73 anos, com antecedentes pessoais de múltiplos fatores de risco cardiovascular, hipotiroidismo e patologia osteoarticular. Mora sozinha com o marido de 73 anos, que apresenta doença de Parkinson em estadio avançado. Aquando de uma visita domiciliária ao marido, somos abordados pela utente que descreve preocupação por o marido ter “desaparecido” (sic). Ao explorar esta queixa, apercebemo-nos que a mulher acredita que o marido foi substituído por uma pessoa semelhante a ele, o que é compatível com um delírio de Capgras. Para além disto, tem também alucinações visuais. Este quadro clínico melhorou com a entrada do marido em lar, e da própria em centro de dia.
Reconhecer e tratar atempadamente as doenças neurológicas e psiquiátricas é essencial. Assim, permite dar suporte e melhorar a qualidade de vida destas pessoas e seus cuidadores, uma vez que rapidamente é possível otimizar a saúde física e mental, o envelhecimento saudável, identificar e tratar causas acompanhantes ou secundárias de agravamento do estado geral.

Published: December 2023

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a ocorrência de quedas nos últimos 12 meses e os fatores de risco associados às mesmas, em idosos institucionalizados de meio urbano e rural.
Foram avaliados 200 idosos, 100 idosos institucionalizados de meio urbano e 100 idosos institucionalizados de meio rural. As variáveis em análise foram: ocorrência de quedas nos últimos 12 meses, percepção que têm perante a sua visão e audição, utilização de auxiliares de marcha, realização de exercício terapêutico, quantidade de medicação, testes de aptidão física, o medo de cair através da escala Falls Efficacy Scale (FES), o nível de atividade física, e o índice de massa corporal.
Verificou-se que existiram diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p<0,05) entre os idosos institucionalizados de meio urbano e rural, no exercício terapêutico, no uso de auxiliar de marcha, no equilíbrio dinâmico, na velocidade máxima da marcha e na FES, tendo sido obtidos piores resultados pelos idosos de meio rural em todas as variáveis. Na regressão logística entre a ocorrência de quedas, nos últimos 12 meses, e as restantes variáveis avaliadas, foi possível constatar, que nos idosos de meio urbano, a medicação apresentou-se como um fator de risco de queda, por sua vez nos idosos de meio rural, foi o equilíbrio estático, o medo de cair, a visão, a medicação e o uso de auxiliar de marcha.
Os idosos institucionalizados de meio rural apresentaram piores resultados nas variáveis avaliadas e consequentemente um maior número de fatores de risco de queda, comparativamente aos idosos institucionalizados de meio urbano.
Fragilidade e Agressividade nos cuidados dos residentes em estruturas residenciais para pessoas idosas admitidas no serviço de urgência.
Authors: Ângela Sofia Lopes Simões  
Published: December 2023

Os idosos frágeis são admitidos recorrentemente em hospitais de agudos, com taxas elevadas de visitas a serviços de urgência (SU), e são os principais consumidores de serviços de apoio social.
Este estudo deteve como objetivo apresentar os resultados relativos à fragilidade e agressividade de cuidados a idosos residentes em Estruturas Residenciais para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI´s) que são admitidos em SU. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, retrospetivo e descritivo sobre a fragilidade e agressividade nos cuidados de fim de vida em idosos admitidos em SU. Analisamos 8082 episódios de urgência de 2019. Numa 2ª fase, nos episódios onde registamos níveis elevados de fragilidade foram analisados 16 critérios de agressividade de cuidados nos últimos 30 dias antes do óbito (foram incluídos nesta fase do estudo 1144 episódios). Análise estatística com nível de significância de 0,05. Os resultados indicam que 57% dos idosos são mulheres, média de idade de 81,52 anos. 43,6% são frágeis (níveis de maior severidade - 14,1%). 15,1% dos idosos que recorreram ao SU, residem em ERPI, e desses, 77,7% tem algum nível de fragilidade, 40,3 % apresentam níveis severos de fragilidade. 32,5% dos óbitos ocorreram em ERPI. A agressividade de cuidados, em 64,68% dos episódios pontua acima do 5. Em todos os episódios que pontuam 0 ou 1, o óbito verificou-se no exterior do hospital, principalmente em ERPI.
Nesta fase do estudo percebemos que a maioria dos idosos residentes em ERPI´s que recorreram ao SU tem níveis elevados de fragilidade e parece que residir em ERPI é fator protetor de agressividade de cuidados em fim de vida.

Driving involves a rigorous act where the driver controls the operation of a motor vehicle. There have been few deployments of healthy driving applications, while some of these applications are machine learning applications some are program-driven applications. Nigeria as a developing country has little or no trained datasets for healthy driving, therefore this research will be charged with collecting local data for driving events to be trained. The datasets were collected as images. These images were extracted for driving events braking, safe driving, and speeding. The images were locally collected for Nigeria driving settings and computer vision techniques were applied to the data. The machine learning algorithm used to evaluate the model is Convolution Neural Network, the editors used for image labelling and coding the system are Jupyter notebook and VS Code. Python programming language and its libraries were also used. The classification results for model loss, accuracy, validate loss and validate accuracy and the performance of the model is 0.99 or 99%, based on this the last epoch was recorded and the loss was 0.03 or 3%.This classification result proved that the data collected from Nigeria is trainable. The trained data can be used by researchers all over the world working on safe and healthy systems in Nigeria for driving. The result also presented a convolution neural network as an algorithm suitable for healthy driving detection using computer vision. The predicted values for the three driving events were all positive. The three driving events were all detected perfectly while running the parallel testing without being perverse.

Published: December 2023

Background: Pulselessness is the main sign of Takayasu's Arteritis (TAK), a granulomatous large artery vasculitis that mostly affects the aorta, major aortic branches, and pulmonary arteries. Renal artery stenosis is the source of arterial hypertension, which is common in TA. It is estimated that there are 2.6 incidences of Takayasu's arteritis per million people worldwide each year.
Case Details: We report on an 18-year-old girl whose significant arterial hypertension on her left arm, identified during a routine check-up, was the primary manifestation of Takayasu's arteritis (TA). The left arm's systolic blood pressure was noticeably greater than the right's. Additionally, there was a difference in blood pressure between the legs and left arm. Auscultation revealed the presence of vascular bruits over the left subclavian regions. A CT angiography was used to establish the diagnosis of TA. The results indicated a substantial constriction at the right renal artery's origin and characteristics compatible with aortic arteritis of the thoracic and abdominal aorta with active disease given wall enhancement. Due to the disorder's rarity and the varied ways in which it manifests clinically, a delayed diagnosis and treatment are likely.
Conclusion: Our study emphasizes that this illness can and does affect young people, and as such, patients presenting with suggestive symptoms and signs—especially young patients with unexplained hypertension—should be taken into consideration. Appropriate imaging and clinical suspicion are essential for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of TA patients. Several findings were found during the clinical examination, including signs of claudication, fever symptoms, involvement of major vessels including the aorta and its branches. This illustrates the condition of Takayasu's arteritis and what medical professionals should anticipate when treating it.

Published: December 2023

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Sugarcane and Rice Research Station, Rudrur during the two successive seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to find out the performance of three sugar cane varieties (97 R 129, 2010 R 854 and Co 86032) under four fertilizer levels (75, 100, 125 and 150 % RDF). The experiments consist of 12 treatments replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design with factorial concept. The highest cane yield (119.1 t ha-1) was recorded with application of 150 % RDF which was on par with application of 125% RDF (114.4 kg ha-1) and significantly superior over rest of the treatments. The lowest yields recorded under 75 % RDF (87.50 t ha-1). Among the varieties tested, 2010 R 854 recorded highest cane yield (112.2 t ha-1) which was significantly out yielded than the rest of the two varieties (97 R 129 and Co 86032). The highest benefit cost ratio recorded in 125% RDF followed by 150 % RDF and 100% RDF. Among the varieties, 2010 R 854 recorded highest benefit cost ratio over rest of the varieties. Based on the results of the investigation it is concluded that adoption of promising sugarcane variety 2010 R 854 with 125 % RDF (312.5-125-125 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1) is recommended for Vertisols of Northern Telangana Zone.

Perceived process safety culture was found to significantly affect personnel safety motivation.
Learning Styles: Mixed Methods Research
Authors: Lau Ken 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

It has been widely acknowledged in the education and psychology literature that no two distinct learners would acquire knowledge in precisely the same way. The habitual and preferred way of how a learner acquires, processes, and retains new knowledge and skills has given rise to one's “learning style”. Compared with a similar concept
learning preferences
,
learning style
, in general, is considered relatively deep‐rooted and enduring across settings in which a learner is placed. Some other researchers, however, conceptualize it as more of a process‐oriented construct, and therefore suggest that style adaptations to ambient learning conditions and contexts would still be possible. The purpose of this entry is twofold: to provide an overview of learning styles research and some key findings yielded and to highlight the use of mixed methods design to address the methodological concerns raised in previous studies.
Grammar as a Pedagogical Target
Authors: Pawlak Mirosław 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Grammar teaching remains one of the most controversial issues in foreign and second language pedagogy. Despite claims that such pedagogical intervention is unnecessary and should even be abandoned, there is broad consensus right now that grammar instruction (GI) is beneficial or even indispensable in some contexts, especially such in which opportunities for everyday exposure to and use of the target language are limited. In addition, research findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of GI with respect to the use of targeted grammar features in controlled and communicative situations, both in the short and long run. Nevertheless, a number of controversial issues remain which are related, among others, to the choice of grammar structures to be taught, the way in which these structures should be included in the syllabus, the intensity and timing of pedagogical interventions, and the selection of instructional options to be employed. Such issues, however, are seldom recognized by L2 teachers in many contexts, and they continue to teach grammar in very traditional ways, focusing on the knowledge of rules and the use of such rules in controlled exercises. In light of these issues, the present entry focuses on the nature of L2 grammar knowledge, considers different instructional options as well as the empirical evidence concerning their effectiveness, and highlights the importance of the use of grammar learning strategies. Such considerations serve as a basis for identifying pedagogical challenges in GI as well as a handful of recommendations for classroom practice. Future research directions are also identified.
Task‐Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as a Pedagogical Framework
Authors: East Martin 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
TBLT is based on the concept that undertaking communicative and interactive tasks fosters second language acquisition. Interaction is the means through which learners of an additional language (L2) can be provided with scaffolding, feedback, and instruction and is underpinned by two principal theoretical frameworks: the cognitive interactionist and the sociocultural interactionist. The primary mechanism through which classroom interactions occur in TBLT is the task itself. It is therefore important to have a clear understanding of the task construct, and how tasks are to be differentiated from other activities that might take place in the task‐oriented classroom. Building on the central task construct, it is also important for teachers to consider how tasks at different levels of complexity may be sequenced so as to maximize L2 learning. Beyond the identification of a series of tasks, teachers need to consider the kind of input that is required before tasks are undertaken (i.e., pre‐task work to set up the tasks) and after tasks have been completed (i.e., post‐task work to push L2 learning forward). It is particularly at this point that TBLT has been interpreted in a broad range of ways in light of contrasting theories about the respective roles of teachers and learners in classrooms. It is concluded that teachers should be prepared to try out different approaches (learner‐centered versus teacher‐led) and to evaluate for themselves what seems to work in their own classrooms.

AbstractSoft electronics provide effective means for continuous monitoring of a diverse set of biophysical and biochemical signals from the human body. However, the sensitivities, functions, spatial distributions, and many other features of such sensors remain fixed after deployment and cannot be adjusted on demand. Here, laser‐induced porous graphene is exploited as the sensing material, and dope it with permanent magnetic particles to create hard magnetic graphene nanocomposite (HMGN) that can self‐assemble onto a flexible carrying substrate through magnetic force, in a reversible and reconfigurable manner. A set of soft electronics in HMGN exhibits enhanced performances in the measurements of electrophysiological signals, temperature, and concentrations of metabolites. All these flexible HMGN sensors can adhere to a carrying substrate at any position and in any spatial arrangement, to allow for wearable sensing with customizable sensitivity, modality, and spatial coverage. The HMGN represents a promising material for constructing soft electronics that can be reconfigured for various applications.
