Abstract:

BACKGROUND:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition that requires early diagnosis and intervention for the improvement of the patient’s skills and functioning. Several guidelines, therefore, recommend the screening of all children for ASD. This study determined the outcomes of ASD screening program in Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) in Bahrain.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 of the 27 PHCs in Bahrain. The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers-Revised (MCHAT-R) was completed for children who attended the selected centers. Findings from the checklists and the outcome of positive screening cases were recorded. MCHAT-R scores of <3 were indicative of a low risk for ASD. Children with moderate and high MCHAT-R risk were referred for psychiatric assessment. SPSS version 25.0 was used for data analysis; mean and standard deviation were calculated for continuous variables, and categorical variables presented as frequency and percentage. Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate, used to test for statistical significance.

RESULTS:
A total of 3729 MCHAT-R checklists of children with a mean age of 2 years were included. Most children were Bahraini (78.0%), half of whom were males (51.3%). While most of the children (98.8%) had a low-risk MCHAT-R score, 1.2% had a moderate-high risk MCHAT score (12.33/1000). Of the cohort, 19 cases (0.51%) had ASD, 5.10/1000 children. Nearly two-thirds of children with confirmed ASD were males ( 63.2%), and one-third were females (36.8%). In addition, 14 cases (41.2%) of those who had moderate-high MCHAT refused to follow the subsequent diagnostic protocol.

CONCLUSION:
This study revealed a low prevalence of positive MCHAT-R screening and confirmed ASD cases. The vast majority of children who were positive on screening had a confirmed diagnosis of ASD. Some cases with positive MCHAT results failed to follow up for diagnosis. Therefore, improving parental and community awareness regarding ASD is important for a better outcome.
Residential Building Heating Load Prediction using Deep Learning TabNet Model
Authors: Qasim Mustafa Zainel  
Published: January 2025

Efficient heating load (HL) predictions in residential buildings are vital in energy optimization and cost savings. Deep learning models with a high ability to solve complex tasks could be good tools for this purpose. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a new deep learning model for heating load prediction based on an attentive interpretable tabular learning model (TabNet). The in-hand dataset contains only 768 records which causes deep learning models’ weak performance in comparison with classical machine learning tools. To solve the problem and utilize the ability of deep learning models, a new hybrid model that combines TabNet and a tabular data augmentation module based on GAN and CGAN methods has been proposed. The data augmentation module increased the size of the training dataset 5 times. The performance results indicated that the BiLSTM outperforms other well-known deep learning models without data augmentation, including ResNet, Fully Connected Neural Networks (FCNN), TabNet, And LSTM. By utilizing the data augmentation module the TabNet-GAN model outperformed other deep learning models and brought comparable results with other classical machine learning HL prediction models. Therefore, the TabNet-GAN model could be used for residential building HL prediction and help engineers select the best plan/design from the energy usage perspective.
Humanizing Rational Numbers in Middle School
Authors: Desai Connor 
Published: January 2025

The goal of this paper is to re-examine the curricular framework of math education, particularly around rational numbers in early middle school. Through an exploration of math achievement data, research on successful organizations and systems, research on learning theory, research on math learning theory, the importance of understanding the rational number domain as a sequential step to the academic gateway of algebra, and the physio-cultural evolution of our number system, arguments and strategies for humanizing rational numbers for students are presented.
The author hypothesizes that a dual pronged approach of 1) increasing students' sense of agency and belonging in the math classroom by offering students a way to recognize themselves as successive participants in the global journey of math, and 2) providing base-10 contextualized algorithmic lessons that demystify common operational stumbling blocks within the rational number domain, holds the potential to appease both sides of the math education debate (accessibility vs. rigor) and increase students' math achievement by laying the groundwork for their further studies in STEM fields.
Higher Education in the Midst of a Pandemic - Revisited
Authors: Rowley William 
Published: January 2025

This paper is a follow-up to determine the accuracy of the predictions stated in a previously published article titled “Higher Education in the Midst of a Pandemic: A Dean’s Perspective” (Author, 2020). Those predictions were more like educated guesses since the paper was written in 2020, the year the pandemic was beginning to spread across the country. It was certain significant changes would occur, but the nature and scope of these changes were unknown at the time. As mentioned in the above referenced paper, the difficulty of predicting the future was the fact that there were no predetermined guidelines for how to offer academic programs to students in the midst of a serious, widespread health crisis. College administrators were called upon to flexibly respond to a changed environment they had not previously experienced. This paper will review the predictions made in the areas of college sustainability, financial viability, enrollment, program delivery, technology, library and student services, and the college experience.

Objetivo: Avaliar a percepção das profissionais envolvidas no atendimento às vítimas de violência sexual em um centro de referência no estado de Sergipe. Métodos: abordagem descritiva e qualitativa, realizado no Centro de Referência em atendimento infanto-juvenil (CRAI-SE), em Aracaju, Sergipe. Foram gravadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, validadas com perguntas abertas composto por três categorias sobre violência sexual, Percepção e estigmatização das vítimas, Desafios no atendimento à vítima, Impacto Emocional e Práticas de Atendimento Humanizado. Agendou-se previamente horários com a equipe multidisciplinar e as entrevistas foram analisadas usando os critérios de Bardin. Resultados: A análise dos relatos das profissionais identificou três categorias principais. A primeira, "Percepção e Estigmatização das Vítimas de Violência", revelou que as vítimas são frequentemente associadas à vulnerabilidade social e enfrentam preconceitos relacionados à falta de suporte familiar e compreensão social. A segunda categoria, "Desafios e Barreiras no Atendimento", destacou dificuldades como a falta de articulação entre os serviços da rede de apoio, barreiras logísticas que comprometem o acesso e a continuidade do atendimento, e a necessidade de uma comunicação eficaz entre profissionais e vítimas. A terceira categoria, "Impacto Emocional e Práticas de Atendimento Humanizado", evidenciou o significativo desgaste emocional das profissionais, que experimentam sentimentos de tristeza, raiva e impotência. Apesar disso, buscam manter a resiliência e oferecer um atendimento humanizado reconhecendo a importância do suporte psicológico. Conclusão: Observou-se que embora as profissionais sejam qualificadas e prestem um serviço humanizado, resiliente e com empatia elas enfrentam múltiplos desafios no atendimento a vítimas de violência sexual infantojuvenil.
La situation actuelle de l’enseignement de technologie dans les écoles primaires de Brazzaville : cas de la circonscription scolaire de Ouenzé II
Authors: OKOUA Béatrice perpétue 
Published: January 2025

Parmi les innovations mises en chantier par l'INRAP, figure celle de l'enseignement de technologie à l'école primaire congolaise. En harmonie avec la loi scolaire 025/95 du 17 novembre 1995, le programme de technologie vise entre autres objectifs, l'acquisition des notions scientifiques élémentaires de base et les mettre en œuvre avec tous les mécanismes d'accompagnement constituant une autre paire de manches. C'est ce qui est arrivé à cette discipline de technologie et révélé par ce travail. Pour nous permettre de recueillir des données fiables, nous avons basé notre méthodologie sur l’observation, le questionnaire et le test. À travers cette recherche, des enseignants tenant des classes du CE2 de la circonscription scolaire de Ouenzé II, ont reconnu ne pas maîtriser la didactique de technologie. Ce qui justifie sa négligence et sa non mise en œuvre pour les causes suivantes : manque de formation aussi bien des encadreurs que des maîtres par l'INRAP, manque de supports didactiques d'orientation, absence avérée de matériels didactiques individuels et collectifs en vue de la concrétisation des enseignements, etc. La moyenne de 5,99 sur 20 obtenue par 200 élèves de CE2 soumis à un test corrobore bien ce constat. En guise de remède il est suggéré la révision du programme scolaire en vue de dissocier la technologie des sciences, l'organisation des séminaires de formation dans ce domaine, la dotation de toutes les écoles primaires en documents de références prescrits et en matériels didactiques appropriés pour faciliter la tâche des maîtres, la prise en compte par l'Ecole Normale Supérieure et l’École Normale d'Instituteurs des innovations de L’INRAP dans leurs programmes de formation.

Introduction: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder may present behavioral, communication and social interaction changes, in addition to the presence of impairments in sensory processing, such as auditory hypersensitivity. Objective: to describe the creation and validation of an auditory behavior test to evaluate auditory hypersensitivity in Wistar rats that were exposed to valproic acid during the uterine period as an experimental model for autism. Methodology: A Box was built, divided into two parts: one acoustically coated and the other not. To build the Box, we used: 10 mm thick MDF wooden plates, 50X50 cm acoustic foam plates 2 cm thick, nails, glue, acrylic plate. The Box was 50 cm high, 80 cm wide and 55 cm long. As acoustic stimulus, non-verbal sounds from a digital band were used at frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4KHz (drum, afoxé, castanets and reco-reco), through a sound box located inside the non-acoustically coated part. at two different sound intensities. Results: At frequencies of 2KHz and 4KHz, there was a statistically significant difference in the area of the Box without acoustic covering and in the corridor in the control group in relation to the group with autism. The animals entered the corridor and acoustically protected areas more often in search of hearing protection and anxiety. Conclusion: The creation and validation of the auditory behavior test to evaluate auditory hypersensitivity in autistic Wistar rats was effective, since it presented a statistically significant difference at frequencies of 2KHz and 4KHz.

Authors: Peres Victoria Bortolon , Borges Alan Junior Santos 
Published: January 2025

O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença autoimune crônica, cujos pacientes apresentam características clínicas variáveis, desde envolvimento leve das articulações e da pele até envolvimento renal, hematológico ou do sistema nervoso central, com risco de vida. A maioria dos pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico terá evidência clínica de doença renal. A Síndrome antifosfolípide (SAF) é a associação de trombose e/ou morbidade gestacional com anticorpos antifosfolípides (aPL). Trinta a quarenta por cento dos pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico apresentam resultados positivos para aPL, o que pode ter impacto na apresentação, manejo e prognóstico do LES. Qualquer órgão ou sistema pode ser afetado pela SAF. Podendo cursar com microangiopatia trombótica, tal como foi observado na nefropatia da SAF. A Mielite é uma doença inflamatória que se manifesta com sintomas motores, sensoriais e autonômicos de rápida progressão com resultados catastróficos. As manifestações neuropsiquiátricas (MNP) nos lúpus eritematoso sistêmico apresentam importante impacto no prognóstico da doença pela sua frequência e gravidade. A mielopatia é uma manifestação do sistema nervoso central (SNC) rara no LES e afeta de 1 a 2% dos pacientes. O presente relato de caso tem a intenção de atentar o profissional de saúde sobre o diagnóstico de LES na população em geral e suas principais apresentações, como também suas manifestações atípicas e raras, como a tríplice apresentação de abertura do quadro de lúpus demonstrado nesse caso : Nefrite Lúpica Classe IV, Microangiopatia trombótica e Neuromielite com mielite longitudinal extensa. Além disso, na revisão de literatura em busca de abertura do quadro de LES com a manifestação tríplice citada nesse caso não foram encontradas tais menções.

Authors: Calloni Jacqueline , Secreto Elba Beatriz 
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The study analyzed buccomaxillofacial trauma (TBF) in horseback riding, a sport that combines technical skill and inherent risk. TBFs, such as mandibular and maxillary fractures, avulsions, and dental luxations, were identified as the most common injuries due to falls, horse kicks, and collisions. These injuries not only impacted athletes physically, but also psychologically, affecting their self-esteem and confidence. The research highlighted the importance of mouthguards and helmets, although their use is not mandatory in all equestrian disciplines.Development: TBF was found to be frequent among riders and horsewomen, with a particularly high incidence in women and children. Of 20 patients evaluated, 70% had facial fractures, while the remainder suffered dental or soft tissue injuries. Most mandibular and maxillary fractures required surgical interventions such as reduction and osteosynthesis, in addition to dental rehabilitation and physiotherapy. It was also observed that dental injuries, such as dislocations and avulsions, were recurrent in falls and collisions. The use of customized mouthguards was shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of dental injuries, although it is not widely adopted.Conclusions: The study underlined the need for a comprehensive and preventive approach to horseback riding, including mandatory use of mouthguards and helmets. Multidisciplinary care, combining maxillofacial surgery, dentistry and psychological support, was highlighted as crucial for the full recovery of athletes. Finally, it was recommended to continue researching risk factors and preventive measures to improve safety in this high-impact sport

В исследовании, проведенном на выборке учащихся начальной школы в количестве 68 учащихся второго класса, была поставлена цель: определить уровень развития самостоятельности младших школьников. Исследование проводилось с использованием теоретических и эмпирических методов. В основе программы развития самостоятельности младших школьников лежали следующие методы и приемы: создание условий для самоорганизации учащихся, развитие ответственности и самоконтроля, формирование навыков самостоятельного поиска информации, развитие коммуникативных навыков, поощрение самостоятельности через систему похвалы и наград, наставничество и др. После реализации программы отмечена положительная динамика в выборке, дети стали демонстрировать более высокое стремление к учебе, проявлять интерес, что отмечают и педагоги. В выборке отмечается повышение «ценности» знания, его самостоятельного усвоения. Отмечен рост активности детей на уроках, поднятые руки, желание ответить, «выражение недовольства», если не спросили.
the article presents the results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the program for the development of independence of younger schoolchildren. Independence is considered as an essential characteristic of a person as a person, a skill that determines his success in the future. In a study conducted on a sample of primary school students in the number of 68 second grade students, the goal was set: to determine the level of development of independence of younger schoolchildren. The study was conducted using theoretical and empirical methods. The program for the development of independence of younger schoolchildren was based on the following methods and techniques: creating conditions for self-organization of students, developing responsibility and self-control, forming skills for independent information retrieval, developing communication skills, encouraging independence through a system of praise and awards, mentoring, etc. After the implementation of the program, positive dynamics was noted in the sample, children began to demonstrate a higher desire to study, to show interest, which is noted by teachers. The sample shows an increase in the "value" of knowledge, its independent assimilation. There was an increase in children's activity in the classroom, raised hands, a desire to answer, "an expression of dissatisfaction" if not asked.
