Augmented Reality in the Education of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Currently, despite the technological advance that often makes school education accessible to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), there are still certain difficulties in understanding the teaching passed on in the classroom to the autistic.  Therefore, this research aimed to propose an approach to AR technology (Augmented Reality) as an aid in teaching-learning within the school environment where it provides a means of pedagogical resource in class.  For the development of this research, bibliographic research was carried out, where it is evident that through Augmented Reality combined with education it has many benefits, accessibility and inclusion.  With this, it is possible to conclude that the use of the technological tool in question can contribute to the TEA to facilitate learning, understanding, communication, interaction with other students and their perception, not only that, but also a benefit for the educator who can pass on content of more didactic way in the school class

The Efficiency of soil mulches in tomato cultivation systems

The use of different types of soil cover in tomato culture can influence soil temperature, humidity and plant productivity. However, coverage when associated with cultivation techniques through staking systems can provide better productivity when compared to production systems without coverage and staking. In this sense, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of different soil coverings on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.), under different staking conditions. The experiment was carried out in the village of Garangau in the municipality of Campo do Brito, Sergipe. To obtain the data, the experiment took place in two stages, with each stage being evaluated four treatments with different soil coverings: biomanta with weight 600 (B600), biomanta with weight 800 (B800), soil raffia (RF) and soil without coverage (SC). It can be seen through the results that the coverings that most influenced the reduction of the soil temperature in the depth to 0.05 m, were the biomanta with weight 600 (B600), biomanta with weight 800 (B800) without staking, respectively, providing a reduction in soil temperature between -3.0ºC to -4.0ºC. It is worth mentioning that similarly, the same results were found at a depth of 0.12 m. This decrease in temperature is related to the effect of the cover and to reduce the incidence of sunlight directly on the soil, thus providing better thermal comfort to the soil. For soil moisture at a depth of 0.15 m and 0.30 m, when comparing the types of cover in the soil raffia soil (RF) without the use of staking technique showed better results. It is believed that it was mainly influenced by the type of driving system. When it comes to productivity, it can be seen that the productivity of tomato per hectare was higher when using the guidance system with tutoring for all treatments, even in the treatment which did not use cover

Application and Exploration of FLUENT Software in the Teaching of Engineering Thermophysics

Engineering thermophysics is a basic discipline for energy majors, but this course emphasizes the theoretical level and is difficult to understand. Students\u27 enthusiasm and participation in the learning process are low, and it is difficult to understand the course. Accordingly, the research team attempts to introduce Fluent software into the course teaching exploration. Specifically, Fluent software is adopted to provide a reliable physics teaching model, and to change the traditional teaching mode, so as to improve students\u27 daily learning ability and practical ability, and ultimately enable students to learn and practice

Level of safety culture in healthcare professionals: Systematic review protocol

The assessment of the safety culture of the organization allows obtaining a clear view of the aspects and dimensions of patient safety that require more attention. The study aims to present the systematic review protocol designed to analyze the level of safety culture in a hospital setting. The reporting of this systematic review will comply with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses PRISMA Checklist. The systematic review protocol will be submitted for registration in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The systematic review will carefully follow six steps: selection of guiding question; definition of the characteristics of the primary research sample; selection of the research sample; analysis of the findings of the articles included in the review; interpretation of results; and reporting of the review, which will provide a critical examination of the findings. For analysis of the selected studies, the guiding research question, "What is the level of safety culture in the hospital environment?" will be used.  A search of MEDLINE, VHL, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science electronic databases will be conducted. The search strategy will combine index terms and the descriptors "Safety Management," "Safety Culture," and "Patient Safety." Studies published from 2012 to 2022 will be included, with no language restriction. The following inclusion criteria will be adopted: observational and experimental studies; studies conducted in the period from 2012 to 2023; studies that measured safety culture in the hospital environment through validated instruments. Exclusion criteria are: duplicate articles; narrative or systematic review and meta-analysis; case reports; case series and experimental studies involving animals. Two reviewers will extract data from the selected studies independently. Safety culture measurement allows leaders to implement targeted strategies to improve specific dimensions of safety culture

Selection of Real Estate Investment Funds with Application of Fuzzy Logic

The general objective of this work is modeling a system to define which REIT should be acquired. With the identification of relevant variables to the analysis of real estate investment funds, the appropriate values for the variables are delimited using descriptive statistics and then fuzzy logic is applied to select the REIT that should be acquired. With the conclusion of this work, we identified as relevant variables: Book Equity, Manager Characteristics, Market-to-Book, Liquidity, Management Fee and Vacancy. With delimitation of the values to the variables and the use of fuzzy logic to select the REIT, it was identified a positive correlation between the Buying Decision and Yield, proving the reliability of the model within the buying decision of the REIT, according to the investor’s risk profile

A (Brief) History of Medicine in the United States.

The history of medicine in the United States encompasses a variety of periods and approaches to health care in the United States from colonial days to the present, ranging from early folk remedies to the increasing professionalization and managed care of modern medicine. In this paper, we will investigate some of the major developments in modern medicine in the United States. Hopefully this will shed light on the current situation of the American health system
