Authors: Mohammadiyan Mahdi , Mehri Farzaneh , Fasih-Ramandi Fatemeh , Karimi Ali , Karami Esmaeil 
Published: April 2023

Aim:
Excessive exposure of drivers to traffic noise and the resulting hearing loss could affect safe driving. This study aimed to investigate the hearing status of heavy vehicle drivers and its correlation with traffic accidents.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 187 drivers of heavy vehicles (trucks and buses) in Tehran province during 2018. The hearing status of drivers was investigated by the audiometric test method, ISO 6189 (1983). A safety questionnaire and checklist of drivers' demographic variables were used to gather information on accident status and personal characteristics of drivers. SPSS version 24 software was used for the statistical analysis of data. The statistical tests used are Chi-square, Spearman's correlation, paired t-test, and odds ratio.

Results:
Examining the hearing status of drivers showed that 51.5% were normal and 48.5% of drivers had hearing loss. The highest mean hearing threshold was at a frequency of 4000 Hz. The mean (standard deviation) for the right and left ears was 27.82 ± 15.92 and 18 ± 27.32 dB, respectively. The results of the analysis on drivers' hearing status and accidents showed a significant correlation between the frequency of accidents and the classification of drivers' hearing loss. Thus, a significant relationship with the correlation coefficient of 0.123 and 0.307, respectively, was obtained between the average hearing loss of drivers and having one or five accidents.

Conclusion:
The findings of the study showed hearing loss in drivers in the left ear, especially at high frequencies. There is also a significant relationship between the number of accidents and the rate of hearing loss of drivers. Hearing loss caused by noise interferes with activities such as driving and negatively affects the safety of drivers and emphasizes the importance of preventing accidents by controlling traffic noise.

Authors: Peres Junior Aparecido Cardoso 
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo teve por objetivo apresentar a Teoria do Solucionismo Tecnológico e como ele se comporta diante da conjuntura educacional perante a realidade da Educação a Distância (EaD).
Foi apresentado um gráfico no qual denota que o EaD, no Brasil será um dos meios educacionais mais aceitos e difundidos, ultrapassando a educação presencial, e por conta destes dados a Teoria do solucionismo tecnológico: perspectivas educacionais pós covid-19 se fez necessária. O artigo se pautou na metodologia de estudo qualitativa com revisão bibliográfica em renomados autores da educação e no CEPAL UNESCO: La educación en tiempos de pandemia de Agosto de 2020, concluindo que o sistema educacional precisou e precisa se reinventar diuturnamente no quesito tecnológico, se adaptar e aceitar as atribuições tecnicistas, pois, esta será uma das principais formas de atingir alguns grupos de estudantes, em muitas esferas, assim, a Teoria do Solucionismo Tecnológico no Sistema Educacional se aporta validando partes das concepções de Morozov (2020).
Embasado nesses pressupostos e no crescimento desenfreado da tecnologia e na pandemia do Covid-19 que assolou o mundo, o sistema educativo precisou adaptar alguns princípios, premissas nas quais este artigo se justificou. Este escrito se destinou a todos os profissionais da educação, elucidando e orientando acerca desta metodologia educacional que está iminente, haja vista que a tecnologia sempre se fez presente no cotidiano da sociedade, mas a partir da Pandemia do Covid-19 a tecnologia se fez ainda mais como solucionadora de muitos problemas, principalmente na educação.

Instruction, Assessment, and Intervention Practices in DMDL: A Multiple Case Study
Authors: Batain May Anne 
Published: April 2023

The study aimed to determine the teaching practices of senior high school faculty in an integrated school in Calamba City, Laguna Philippines, offering a digital modular distance learning modality. Specifically, it sought to determine how teachers facilitate instruction, assess learning, and remediate least learned competencies.
This paper utilized a multiple case study design. The researcher utilized Google Forms in gathering data and probed further by means of Facebook messenger, text messages, and face-to-face interviews. Results revealed that instruction began with the careful crafting of weekly home learning plans (WHLP). Teachers designed video lessons, put up feedback mechanisms, and designed learning activity sheets. In terms of assessment, they combined paper-and-pencil tests with task-based and web-based assessments. Lastly, interventions are done using paper-and-pencil tests, web-based assessments, teacher-made videos, and task-based assessments. Other interventions included home visitations and parent-teacher conferences.
In conclusion, instruction in the DMDL required careful planning of the WHLP which involved the selection of materials to supplement the teaching-learning process. Assessment in this modality was a combination of traditional and web-based assessments. Interventions, on the other hand, could be academic and non-academic. For academic, further assessments and activities were provided to students whereas home visitations were conducted for those students with other concerns. The researcher recommended for future research the utilization of other research designs to verify the findings of the research in other contexts. Future researchers could consider having larger samples. The researcher also recommended to explore the possibility of DMDL in a post-pandemic scenario.
Complejidad y deporte de rendimiento en la enseñanza y la investigación universitaria
Authors: González Ramírez Andrés 
Published: April 2023

El deporte es un fenómeno altamente complejo y su estudio puede realizarse desde múltiples perspectivas. Centramos nuestro interés en el deporte de rendimiento y alto rendimiento pensado desde el contexto nacional de Uruguay y su relación con otros ámbitos internacionales. En este artículo de reflexión se pretende presentar y discutir los avances que se vienen desarrollando en las propuestas de enseñanza e investigación universitaria en los factores de rendimiento deportivo: técnica, táctica y preparación física. Desde el punto de vista teórico partimos del marco conceptual de la perspectiva de la complejidad y su relación con el deporte. En esta propuesta de enseñanza profundizamos en estos conceptos en los diferentes niveles de enseñanza universitaria. Así, la integración de esta perspectiva repercute en las propuestas de formación y entrenamiento de los deportistas. En estrecha relación con la enseñanza, la investigación es un aspecto central. Los avances en los estudios del rendimiento deportivo con diferentes metodologías han permitido evolucionar desde propuestas observacionales simple de carácter descriptivo y lineal, a las propuestas actuales que atienden a multiplicidad de factores que afectan al rendimiento, integrando metodologías mixtas e incorporación de modelos de inteligencia artificial. Este avance es relevante en el contexto uruguayo puesto que diferentes propuestas en desarrollo permitirán profundizar y atender a las circunstancias específicas de los deportistas y equipos del país, donde los factores de rendimiento se manifiestan de manera propia y diferenciada tanto en la competición local como internacional.

Published: April 2023

IntroductionWe aimed to provide diagnostic models based on different parameters of placental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), as well as the severity of placental insufficiency.Material and methodsWe included 44 foetuses with appropriate weight for gestational age (AGA) and 46 foetuses with documented IUGR, defined as the estimated foetal weight (EFW) below the 10th centile. Using Doppler ultrasound, IUGR cases were divided into 2 groups: 1) IUGR with severity signs: EFW < 3rd centile, or cerebroplacental ratio < 5th centile, or abnormal umbilical/uterine artery pulsatility index; and 2) non-severe IUGR without any of this criterion. For all these participants, placental MRI was performed in the third gestational trimester, and its parameters were compared between AGA and IUGR, as well as between the severe and non-severe IUGR groups. Two diagnostic models consisting of significant predictors were developed, and their performance was investigated with accuracy metrics.ResultsThe severity signs were detected in 25 (54.3%) IUGR cases. The diagnostic model for the differentiation of IUGR from AGA revealed an acceptable performance (area under the curve [AUC] of 0.749) and consisted of 2 variables: 1) the largest size of infarct ≥ 25 mm (odds ratio [OR] = 5.01, p = 0.001), and 2) thickness : volume ratio ≥ 0.043 (OR = 3.76, p = 0.027); while, the logistic regression model for detection of the severity signs was even better, with AUC = 0.862, and comprised of 2 predictors: 1) placental infarct percent ≥ 10% (OR = 26.73, p = 0.004), and 2) placental globular shape (OR = 5.40, p = 0.034).ConclusionsPlacental MRI parameters can differentiate IUGR from AGA, and more precisely, assess the severity of placental insufficiency in IUGR foetuses.
IMAGEM CORPORAL E AUTOESTIMA DE MULHERES COM HANSENÍASE: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Tavares Emanuelle da Silva , Rodrigues Bruna Larissa Pinto , Coelho Larissa Aline Costa 
Published: April 2023

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a produção científica referente aos principais efeitos da hanseníase na percepção corporal e autoestima de mulheres acometidas. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, do tipo Revisão Integrativa da Literatura (RIL), com abordagem qualitativa. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO e MEDLINE. Após a realização da pesquisa, foram encontrados 96 artigos, resultando em uma amostra final composta por 9 estudos primários. A análise da literatura indica que a percepção da imagem corporal em mulheres com hanseníase apresenta-se como tema pouco explorado. No entanto, o surgimento de incapacidades ou alterações corporais visíveis podem se traduzir em representações negativas sobre si e discriminação social. As evidências indicam estratégias efetivas que podem ser incorporadas à prática clínica nos serviços de saúde ou associadas às já existentes, para buscar a melhor maneira de lidar com o impacto emocional da experiência, acompanhando o doente e seus contatos, considerando os aspectos psicológicos e sociais que podem influenciar no processo saúde-doença. Sendo assim, há que se pensar na ressignificação de aspectos ligados à vivência com a doença, a cura e o tratamento, além de instrumentalizar os profissionais da saúde para uma abordagem multidimensional.
L’Afrique est-elle toujours enfermée dans la caverne de « la conscience occidentale du Nègre » ?
Authors: MADJINZE-MA-KOMBILE Ariande Cindy , KOUMBA Rolph Roderick 
Published: April 2023

Les chapitres introductif et de conclusion de Tels des astres éteints (2008) de Léonora Miano déconstruisent le mythe de l’Afrique perçue comme l’univers-type des humanités subalternes. Curieusement, cette perception essentialiste semble étroitement liée à « la conscience occidentale du Nègre », laquelle instaure « la politique de la différence » que la critique récuse. Celle-ci apparaît comme une absurdité car elle instrumentalise la couleur de la peau et les maux dont souffre l’Afrique.
ЖАҢА ТУҒАН НӘРЕСТЕДЕ ТУА БІТКЕН ЕРЕКШЕ ЭТИОЛОГИЯЛЫ ПНЕВМОНИЯ ЖАҒДАЙЫ (ПРАКТИКАДАН КЛИНИКАЛЫҚ ЖАҒДАЙ)

В данной статье представлен клинический случай врожденной пневмонии у доношенного новорожденного ребенка, родившегося в условиях родовспомогательного учреждении 3 уровня. С рождения у ребенка манифестировала острая дыхательная недостаточность, генез которой было сложно дифференцировать клиницистам. Молниеносное течение респираторной патологии способствовало летальному исходу в первые сутки жизни ребенка. Анамнестические и лабораторные данные у матери, результаты рентгенографии органов грудной клетки позволяют предполагать у ребенка врожденную пневмонию специфической (коронавирусной) этиологии.
Бұл мақалада 3 деңгейлі босандыру мекемесінде туылған толық туылған нәрестедегі туа біткен пневмонияның клиникалық жағдайы келтірілген. Бала туылғаннан бастап Жедел тыныс жетіспеушілігі пайда болды, оның генезисін клиниктерге ажырату қиын болды. Тыныс алу патологиясының найзағай жылдамдығы баланың өмірінің алғашқы күндерінде өлімге әкелді. Анадағы анамнестикалық және зертханалық мәліметтер, кеуде қуысының рентгенографиясының нәтижелері балада ерекше (коронавирустық) этиологияның туа біткен пневмониясын болжауға мүмкіндік береді.
This article presents a clinical case of congenital pneumonia in a full-term newborn baby born in a level 3 maternity hospital. From birth, the child manifested acute respiratory failure, the genesis of which was difficult for clinicians to differentiate. The lightning-fast course of respiratory pathology contributed to the fatal outcome in the first day of the child's life. Anamnestic and laboratory data from the mother, the results of chest X-rays suggest that the child has congenital pneumonia of a specific (coronavirus) etiology.
