PROGRESSO DA TECNOLOGIA NOS ESPAÇOS PEDAGÓGICO

Currently, innovation in the teaching-learning process is needed for education to be successfully carried out in educational spaces. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to present a discussion about the teaching and learning process between technologies, methodological innovations and interactivity, bringing examples of innovative methodologies that have changed the educational context. It is known that educational institutions that do not invest in technologies and new methodologies do not attract students to study and, as a consequence, do not advance in relation to those that invest. The methodology used in this study was a bibliographical research carried out on academic sites such as SciELO and Google Scholar with authors of articles and websites between the years 2011 and 2021. In view of what was researched, it is possible to consider that, at present, institutions need to reinvent and, for that, it is necessary to use technologies and new methodologies having as reference schools that have changed their curriculum and methodology, such as the Marist school in Brasília, which makes technology a teaching-learning methodology using instruments and tools that increase and facilitate interaction, providing a more pleasant and attractive learning and teaching.

An international, cross-sectional survey of preprint attitudes among biomedical researchers

Background Preprints are scientific manuscripts that are made available on open-access servers but are not yet peer-reviewed. Although preprints are becoming more prevalent, uptake is not optimal. Understanding researchers’ opinions and attitudes toward preprints is valuable to optimize their use. Understanding knowledge gaps and researchers’ attitudes toward preprinting can assist stakeholders, such as journals, funding agencies, and universities, to use preprints more effectively. Here, we aimed to collect perceptions and behaviours regarding preprints across an international sample of biomedical researchers. Methods Corresponding authors of articles published in biomedical research journals were identified from a random sample of journals from the MEDLINE database. Their names and email addresses were extracted to invite them to our anonymous, cross-sectional survey, which asked participants questions about their knowledge, attitudes, and opinions regarding preprinting. Results The survey was completed by 730 respondents providing a response rate of 3.20% and demonstrated a wide range of attitudes and opinions about preprints with authors from various disciplines and career stages worldwide. Most respondents were familiar with the concept of preprints but most had not previously posted one. The lead author of the project and journal policy had the greatest impact on decisions to post a preprint, whereas employers/research institutes had the least impact. Supporting open science practices was the highest ranked incentive, while increasing authors’ visibility was the highest ranked motivation for publishing preprints. Conclusions Although many biomedical researchers recognize the benefits of preprints, there is still hesitation among others to engage in this practice. This may be due to the general lack of peer review of preprints and little enthusiasm from external organizations such as journals, funding agencies, and universities. Future work is needed to determine optimal ways to improve researchers’ attitudes through modifications to current preprint systems and policies.

Retraction of "Home visiting impacts during the pandemic: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial of Child First" by Xia et al. (2023).

Reports the retraction of "Home visiting impacts during the pandemic: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial of child first" by Samantha Xia, Mervett Hefyan, Meghan P. McCormick, Maya Goldberg, Emily Swinth and Sharon Huang (Journal of Family Psychology, 2023[Aug], Vol 37[5], 569-580). This article is being retracted at the request of the publisher, and the editor and all authors of the original article consented. The MDRC study team identified two caregivers who were enrolled at baseline but were, themselves, minors. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2023-81526-001.) Existing research has found that home visiting programs for families with young children can improve children's development and strengthen caregiver and family well-being. However, the pandemic created numerous challenges for home visiting programs, forcing them to deliver services online or in a hybrid format to respond to pandemic-related challenges. Questions remain about the impacts of these programs when delivered at-scale via a hybrid model, especially during this uniquely challenging time. The present study reports 12-month impacts from a randomized controlled trial of Child First-an evidence-based home visiting program that provides psychotherapeutic, parent-child intervention (children ages 0-5) embedded in a coordinated system of care-when implemented as a hybrid service. This study estimates impacts within four domains: families' receipt of services, caregiver psychological well-being and parenting, child behavior, and family economic well-being. After randomly assigning families (N = 226) to receive Child First or typical community services, the research team surveyed caregivers (N = 183) about a year after study enrollment. Results from regression models with site fixed effects revealed suggestive evidence that Child First reduced caregivers' job loss, residential mobility, and self-reported substance abuse, and increased receipt of virtual services during the pandemic. There were null impacts on caregivers' psychological well-being, families' involvement with the child welfare system, children's behaviors, and other indicators of economic well-being. Implications for future research and policy are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Can ChatGPT affect health literacy?

Abstract Background ChatGPT is a large language model based on artificial intelligence, which nowadays finds application in various fields, including medicine. Objectives To investigate the usefulness of ChatGPT related to health literacy and to highlight its potential limitations. Methods We searched PubMed/MEDLINE for published research and articles that reviewed ChatGPT in the context of health literacy, written in English over the past five years with free full text access. All original articles were screened. Results A total of 53 publications were found. Twenty-five publications met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Most of the works presented a positive opinion towards the use of ChatGPT. The authors of six articles believe that ChatGPT generates more readable papers, while four of them believe the opposite. In four articles authors found out possibility to simplify text. The negative sides relate to the possibly insufficient education of users, the accuracy of the information, potential bias, dependence on the outdated data, and the ethical problem of the real authors not being cited, and therefore not recognized for their work. Conclusions According to the conducted research, ChatGPT represents an opportunity to improve health literacy by generating accessible and comprehensible information about health. It has also been shown to improve the readability and accessibility of public education materials on selected health topics. Furthermore, while AI models like ChatGPT can serve as a reliable source of health information, they should be used as an addition to professional medical consultation, and not as a standalone advice service. Key messages • ChatGPT represents an opportunity to improve health literacy. • AI models like ChatGPT can serve as a reliable source of health information, but they should be used as an addition to professional medical consultation, and not as a standalone advice service.

Determining the Most Consensus-Based Assessment Method for Social Sustainability—Case Study of a Suburb of Karlstad, Sweden

An assessment method for sustainability was developed by the authors in a previous article. Many social sustainability assessment methods rely on assessors’ subjective judgments, which can be problematic. This study aims to examine the level of consensus different assessors can achieve using various assessment methods and to compare their results with an assessment made by one of the authors, to reduce subjectivity. A selective sample of engineering students from Karlstad University were surveyed to test and compare three as-assessment methods against the initial assessment. The three methods are: Woxnerud’s (the authors’) method, Jan Gehl’s twelve quality criteria, and a structured survey. Seven student groups conducted the first assessment, followed by 12 individual students who performed the second and third assessments. The objectives were to determine whether multiple assessors could reach a consensus using each method, identify which method yielded the most consensus and was most effectively implemented, and measure each method’s consonance rate in relation to Woxnerud’s initial assessment. The first method achieved a 75.0% assessor consensus and 98.4% consonance. The second method achieved a 67.0% assessor consensus and 75.0% consonance. The third method achieved a 50% assessor consensus and 91.0% consonance. This limited study suggests that a subjective method, such as an assessment method for social sustainability, can yield somewhat similar results, and in addition, Woxnerud’s method is more objectively applicable than the two other methods tested in this article.

Black Women in Medical Education Publishing: Bibliometric and Testimonio Accounts Using Intersectionality Methodology.

Black women in academic medicine experience racial and gender discrimination, all while being tasked with improving a flawed system. Representation of Black women in medicine remains low, yet they bear the burden of fostering diversity and mentoring trainees, exacerbating their minority tax and emotional labor, and negatively impacting career progression. To complement qualitative accounts of Black women authors in the medical education literature with a quantitative account of their representation. We used statistical modeling to estimate the representation of Black women authors in medical education publishing as compared to other groups. An intersectional methodology employing bibliometric analysis and testimonio reflection. US-based authors of journal articles published in medical education journals between 2000 and 2020. Author race was determined using a probability-based algorithm incorporating US Census data, and author gender was ascribed using Social Security Administration records. We conducted two negative binomial generalized linear models by first and last author publications. Metadata for each article was retrieved from Web of Science and PubMed to include author names, country of institutional affiliation, and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Results were contextualized via the "testimonio" account of a Black woman author. Of 21,945 unique authors, Black women (and other racially minoritized groups) published far fewer first and last author papers than white women and men. In addition, major MeSH terms used by Black women authors reveal little overlap with highly ranked medical education topics. The testimonio further narrated struggles with belonging and racial identity. This study revealed that Black women are underrepresented in medical education publishing. We believe that dismantling oppressive structures in the publishing ecosystem and the field is imperative for achieving equity. Additionally, further experiential accounts are needed to contextualize this quantitative account and understand underrepresentation in medical education publishing.

Library in the mirror of research: functionality and quality of services

In the article author presents two approaches to libraries: functional and user defined. From the point of view of functional significance, the library performs the function of personality formation, educational, memorial, and communicative functions. From the point of view of the quality of services received by visitors, the library appears as an architectural, construction and professional library synthesis. The user can evaluate the quality of the services provided in real and virtual space. The library can provide leisure services - clubs, clubs, evenings, lectures, concerts. The functional importance of the library, combined with the high quality of the services provided, should be an attractive place for visitors. To research the real state of affairs, the results of sociological research conducted by All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion in Russia in 2011, 2015, 2022, as well as in libraries in Novosibirsk in 2020 and 2024 are presented. All-Russian Center’s for the Study of Public Opinion results reflect attendance and solutions to the problem of low attendance. The results of the Novosibirsk study reflect an assessment of social attitudes towards libraries. Such an assessment was carried out through a content analysis of the system for collecting customer feedback on products, services, and organizations of Flame. The results of the study of Novosibirsk libraries were compared with some of the results of All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion. The author concluded that the problems of non-attendance are somewhat “far-fetched”, which hide personal lack of activity, low motivation to work with book publications. The results of the research can be used in planning the library’s activities for the development of a user service system.

Causal Interpretations of Correlational Evidence Regarding Violence.

Inferring causation from correlation can lead to erroneous explanations of violent behavior and the development and implementation of ineffective or even harmful interventions and policies. This article explores the inferences that violence researchers draw from evidence related to violent offending. We invited authors of articles published in violence journals to complete an online survey in which they were asked to identify a factor that may be a cause of violence, cite a study that demonstrates the factor is associated with violence, and provide their inferences from that study. We read each study and coded its research design (description of a sample [n = 9], cross-sectional/retrospective non-experiment [n = 18], single-wave longitudinal non-experiment [n = 10], multi-wave longitudinal non-experiment [n = 0], or randomized experiment [n = 5]) and the appropriate inferences (inter-rater reliability was adequate; κ = 0.73-1.00). Reassuringly, participants (N = 42; 57.1% in United States; 59.5% women) rarely indicated that their identified study demonstrated that their factor was a cause of violence (0.0%-16.7%) when the study was not a randomized experiment. However, many participants failed to acknowledge any plausible alternate interpretations (e.g., reverse causality, third variable) of the results from non-experimental studies (50.0%-88.9%). Moreover, most participants incorrectly selected a causal implication as following from the results of non-experimental studies (77.8%-100%). Our results suggest that even among authors of articles published in peer-review scientific journals on violence, many appear to infer causation from correlation.

THE IMPACT OF E-COMMERCE ON SMALL BUSINESS

The article provides a review of scientific literature in order to generalize the methodology for defining the concept of "electronic commerce". The main trends in the field of e-commerce in small business are characterized. The data on the development of the e-commerce market are analyzed and the following is emphasized: in the number of purchases from mobile devices has increased; creation and widespread use of social media pages is a key factor in the development of e-commerce by entrepreneurs. The advantages and disadvantages of using electronic commerce by small businesses are systematized. In given article authors shine a problem an analysis he shift toward online transactions and digital platforms has been accelerated to adapt to the changing business landscape. Through the review of scientific literature, a comprehensive understanding of e-commerce's impact on small businesses has been highlighted. The article has delved into the main trends shaping the e-commerce landscape for small businesses, emphasizing the significant increase in purchases made through mobile devices. This trend underscores the importance of having a mobile-friendly online presence for entrepreneurs to effectively reach their target audience. E-commerce is a tool through which firms can attain competitive advantage. Therefore it is interesting to further explore how firms exactly go about implementing e-commerce systems, and which path firms take from e-commerce idea generation up to realization of e-commerce success.To comprehensively understand the impact of e-commerce on small businesses, it is crucial to conduct a multiple case studies analysis using a qualitative research design. Small businesses experience challenges before, when, and after integrating e-commerce into their operational structures internally and externally, such as perceiving the technology as an unnecessary business cost, lack of resources to fund e-commerce infrastructure, and absence of managerial support to adopting a radical approach to innovation and growth of the business. The analysis of the impacts of e-commerce on small businesses helps to determine the opportunities and challenges in the business operation process.

Care-leaver activism and criminogenic welfare: An Australian case study

This article discusses the failings of out-of-home care (OOHC) in Australia, focussing on 20th century OOHC systems’ construction of non-offending minors as “problems” while exposing them to high-risk environments defined here as “crime scenes”. Governments are deemed culpable for the inherent criminality of the system and its institutions. Juxtaposed to this is the development of care-leaver activist groups since the 1990s, and their fight to make governments and institutions accountable and to advocate in legal and bureaucratic forums for care-leavers and those currently in care. The discussion benefits from the insights of the article's lead author, herself a former state ward and a long-time care-leaver activist. The article identifies obstacles militating against activist successes, including institutional resistance and the historical reluctance of academics, especially criminologists, to engage with the problem.

In this articles author has used two different types of thresholding techniques: global and adaptive thresholding.

Recent advances in polyaniline/graphene nanocomposites for supercapacitor applications: Synthesis, properties, and future directions

Electrochemical capacitors or supercapacitors have attracted the attention of researchers and industries in the recent past because of the differences in the features and potential applications in comparison to the Li-ion batteries. Supercapacitors have been one of the most investigated applications in literature based on graphene-related materials. This review aims to provide the most recent advancement on the use of graphene and polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite towards enhancing the supercapacitor properties. The synthesis methods of the graphene and PANI nanocomposite, the characteristics of the nanocomposite and its utilization in supercapacitors are discussed. Graphene and PANI are both well-known materials that possess fascinating physical and electrochemical characteristics, and in the last several years, they have been investigated for numerous applications by many researchers. Together with such advantages as enhanced physical and electrochemical characteristics, mechanical strength, and density, composites of both materials can be a potent material for supercapacitor usage.The preparation methods of graphene, PANI, and its composites described by the authors of the research article include in-situ polymerization, chemical vapor deposition, and hydrothermal-assisted polymerization. These characterization techniques include SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, DSC, and TGA to determine other properties of the nanocomposite which shows enhanced properties of graphene and PANI. The electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites are evaluated through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and the achieved values indicate high specific capacitance, cycling stability, and charge-discharge abilities. These outcomes demonstrate the excellent applicability of PANI/graphene nanocomposites as high-performance supercapacitors and encourage the confidence in the effectiveness of the study. Several factors affecting properties of the nanocomposites have been reported in the previous studies, and it is clear from this study how various properties and their relation affects the overall performance of the nanocomposite. Altogether, PANI/graphene nanocomposites have the potential to be used as next-generation supercapacitors, which is still unexplored fully to meet the demands to enhance the high-performance energy storage devices.

Nonopioid Drugs for Postoperative Pain: A Selection Governed by Choices of the Authors of Academic Articles

The opioid crisis has profoundly changed the interest in using nonopioid analgesics. This review identified nonopioid drugs receiving the most interest in the treatment of postoperative pain. Publication-based interest, which reflects the authors’ choices of subjects for academic articles, was used to show the shifts in their interest. The authors’ choices of a particular drug for an article’s subject were regarded as reflective of the collective opinion of experts most knowledgeable on the subject. The frequency with which a drug was the topic of an article was measured with the use of specific bibliometric indices. They were employed to select nonopioid drugs for this review. These included acetaminophen, dexmedetomidine, dexamethasone, ketamine, gabapentin, ibuprofen, ketorolac, diclofenac, magnesium sulfate, clonidine, intravenous lidocaine, and meloxicam (in order of most to least bibliometric interest). Individual reviews on these agents described how the bibliometric indices characterized a drug. They also addressed the question of whether a nonopioid analgesic produced a marked opioid-sparing effect. Information relative to this question was presented via the results of meta-analyses with emphasis on the possible reduction of opioid-related side effects. Overall, nonopioid drugs demonstrating the largest popularity among authors and continuous interest growth in 2018-2022 include acetaminophen, dexmedetomidine, dexamethasone, and ibuprofen. The relevant meta-analyses show that nonopioids, administered as components of multimodal analgesia, provided the opioid-sparing effect; they also show that the most common change in the opioid-related side effects was a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Amina: an Arabic multi-purpose integral news articles dataset

AbstractElectronic newspapers are one of the most common sources of Modern Standard Arabic. Existing datasets of Arabic news articles typically provide a title, body, and single label. Ignoring important features, like the article author, image, tags, and publication date, can degrade the efficacy of classification models. In this paper, we propose the Arabic multi-purpose integral news articles (AMINA) dataset. AMINA is a large-scale Arabic news corpus with over 1,850,000 articles collected from 9 Arabic newspapers from different countries. It includes all the article features: title, tags, publication date and time, location, author, article image and its caption, and the number of visits. To test the efficacy of the proposed dataset, three tasks were developed and validated: article textual content (classification and generation) and article image classification. For content classification, we experimented the performance of several state-of-the-art Arabic NLP models including AraBERT and CAMeL-BERT, etc. For content generation, the reformer architecture is adopted as a character text generation model. For image classification applied on Al-Sharq and Youm7 news portals, we have compared the performance of 10 pre-trained models including ConvNeXt, MaxViT, ResNet18, etc. The overall study verifies the significance and contribution of our newly introduced Arabic articles dataset. The AMINA dataset has been released at https://huggingface.co/datasets/MohamedZayton/AMINA.
