This present study explored the experiences of Filipino learner-participants in a 6-day cross-cultural immersion held in Indonesia, aiming to understand how they interpreted their cultural learning over a year later. Employing phenomenology as the research design, data was collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussion, participant observation and document analysis. The findings indicate that interactions with the host community helped participants recognize cultural diversity, respect cultural differences and reassess their cultural prejudices, leading to lasting changes in their perceptions and behaviors after returning home. However, the limitations brought by the restrictions on movements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the lack of pre-immersion and post-immersion activities have presented challenges to the breadth and depth of these changes. These findings underscore not only the importance of cross-cultural immersions in fostering intercultural sensitivity and competence but also the significance of continuous guidance from educators during the different stages of the experience. Furthermore, it was shown that despite the short time spent in the immersion, significant changes were still experienced by the participants, contrary to what some studies suggest.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify immersion use in hot water to relieve pain in newborns. Methods: an integrative literature review, carried out in the PubMed, VHL, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane and SciELO databases, with investigations in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese, published between 2002 and 2022. The Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) were used to answer the following question: what are the uses of hot water immersion in relieving pain in newborns? Results: nine studies were included, mainly Brazilian, experimental, with a predominance of strong and moderate levels of evidence. Hydrotherapy and bath use (immersion and bandaging) was observed, promising interventions in reducing pain scores, assessed using scales, physiological and endocrine parameters. Conclusions: hot water proved to be a promising non-pharmacological intervention in relieving pain in infants in different contexts.

Manoel Ribeiro, an architect and urban planner from Rio de Janeiro, discusses in this interview the importance of intervening sensitively from within the Brazilian favelas, highlighting the need to respect local practices and the existing culture. The role of the architect is valued, involving them ethically with communities, appreciating their traditional knowledge and the dynamics of each territory through ‘immersive’ processes. Ribeiro shares lived experiences from a process of active listening spanning more than five decades, recognizing the potential of informal and precarious solutions, with strategies for overcoming challenges. Flexibility, adaptability, and sustainability are key to his work, as he believes architecture must be sensitive to the dynamic and constantly transforming reality of informality, not only regarding physical structures but also in supporting the strengthening of social and cultural relationships within these spaces.

Objective: To build and validate an educational video about the immersion bath of the newborn., Method: Methodological research, of technological production, developed in the phases: pre-production, production and post-production in the period from December 2020 to February 2022, validated by nurse practitioners, professionals in the area of social communication, nursing team, puerperal women and family members.

The script/script and storyboard were evaluated regarding the objective, content, relevance, environment, verbal language and inclusion of topics and the video regarding functionality, usability, efficiency, audiovisual technique, environment and procedure, all of which achieved indices equal to or greater than 0,80., Conclusion: The video has technological potential to be used during health education actions and in continuing education practices.

Entrepreneurship can be a way to improve life in traditional communities by seeking to harness the potential of the local culture. Social immersion helps learn the dynamics of entrepreneurship in community contexts by contributing to the understanding of the logic of embeddedness, identifying opportunities for collective actions through spatial bricolage. Thus, in the traditional community context, spatial bricolage shows possibilities for joint actions by the population that are in line with customs and traditions. This essay discusses elements of spatial bricolage in the context of social immersion in entrepreneurship in traditional communities considering embeddedness as an element of spatial bricolage by understanding that local potential can only be seized by members aligned with the local culture.

This paper aims at analyzing and discussing the digital literacy practices of interns during the mandatory supervised internship from September to December 2020 of the Modern English Language course at a public university located in Northeastern Brazil. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the subject matter English Language Internship: 3rd year of High School took place completely remotely, through digital technologies. For the theoretical-methodological focus of this study, we selected some data and focused especially on the trainees' understanding of the notion of immersion in digital literacies during the stages of the internship. By analyzing the data, it was possible to verify that, given the fact that most of the trainees stated that there was no immersion in digital literacies in this period, the apprehension of the literacy practices carried out is consistent with an autonomous perspective, referring to the notion of development of skills, in this case, with digital devices and resources, opposing the sociocultural and ideological perspective (Buzato, 2006; Kleiman, 1995; Lankshear, Knobel, 2011; Street, 1986, 2010, 2012).

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of CWI and passive recovery on indicators of fatigue in handball players after three consecutive days of competition. The study was applied to 41 handball players belonging to 8 handball clubs in Costa Rica (20 men and 21 women; 20.1 ± 4.08 years; weight, 68.03 ± 13.13 kg; VO2max= 42.40 ± 5.31 ml / kg / min). Four teams were selected and randomly assigned one of the two post-game treatments, one group received immersion and another passive rest, it was developed during a handball tournament of three consecutive days on a 20x40m field. Each team played one game per day with two periods of 30 min. No significant differences were found in tensiomyography, CMJ, DOMS, TQR and CK between the treatment group and the recovery group. It is concluded that CWI seems to be more effective than PR in variables such as DOMS and in Recovery Perception and the combination of different recovery methods should be analyzed in future research to better understand which the best strategies are to accelerate recovery of athletes during competitions

Abstract Introduction Repair materials must have low solubility. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) allows simulating clinical condition and interaction with dentin may be important for the correct evaluate of mass loss of bioceramic cements. Objective To evaluate the effect of distilled water (DW), or PBS immersion on the solubility of Bio-C Repair (BCR, Angelus) or MTA Repair HP (MTAHP, Angelus) using a dentin tube model. Material and method Bovine dentin tubes with a length of 4 mm, an internal diameter of 1.5 mm and walls thickness of approximately 1 mm were made. The specimens were immersed in DW for 24h, then filled with BCR or MTAHP (n = 14) and stored in an oven at 37°C and 95% humidity for 24h. After being weighed on a precision balance to determine the initial mass, the specimens were immersed in DW (pH 6.5) or PBS (pH 7.0) (n = 7) for 28 days. Empty tubes also were used for calculating the mass loss of the dentin (n=4). After this period, the specimens were weighed until stabilization of the final mass occurred (0.001g). The solubility of each material was evaluated. ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests were performed (α=0.05). Result BCR and MTAHP showing gain of mass in DW and mass loss in PBS (p

The principle of immersion has been a key factor in the success of many visual attractions since the 19th century, such as the cinema, reaching a new dimension with virtual reality devices for the general public. It is especially because it allows for interaction with the simulated environment, and the powerful sense of reality created by its device, that this technology is used in museum contexts. In addition to the perspectives that its use opens in terms of conservation, its ability to transport the visitor elsewhere and into another time invites us to question its geographicity: does its immersive effect come from an "organizing valence of the space"? Or is it only a simple special effect, as spectacular as it may be? This article aims to identify the modalities of "spectatorial" appropriation of this technology in a heritage context, based on an ethnographic study conducted at a virtual reality installation presented at the Museum of Art and History in Geneva (MAH). It proposes a theoretical framework for the hypothesis of an immersive and instrumented geographicity regime.

ABSTRACT Palm seeds are known for displaying dormancy and a thick endocarp that delays germination and embryo growth, but water treatments may accelerate their germination process. Additionally, ex-situ conservation of arecaceae species may cause loss of seed viability over time. Data on seed dormancy and storage have been neglected for many native palm species in Brazil. Therefore, we investigated the effect of water treatments and one-year storage on the germination of Copernicia alba Morong, a palm tree from the Brazilian Pantanal wetland. Fresh and stored pyrenes were immersed in water (at room temperature for 24, 48, and 72h) and in hot water (~75°C for 5 and 10-min). Fresh pyrenes germinated up to 84% in control, reaching 100% after water immersion for 48 and 72h. One-year storage reduced germination by almost 50%, but water immersion slightly increased the germination of stored pyrenes. Hot water decreased germination for both fresh and stored pyrenes. Seeds of C. alba may be classified as orthodox seed storage behavior. Taken all together, water treatments at room temperature improved the germination of the pyrenes. In contrast, long-term seed storage and hot-water treatments may jeopardize germination.

The Covid-19 pandemic began in 2020 and brought a need to adapt to everyday practices previously done in person. Using geotechnologies linked to digital communication tools was fundamental for continuing and developing academic activities, which were forced to migrate to the digital environment. The objective of this study was to present the strengths and weaknesses of using StoryMaps as an alternative for virtual immersion, based on the development of remote activities (at the Seropédica Campus of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) and in the Mário Xavier National Forest (Flona MX)), with the realization of three projects for the community of Seropédica-RJ and surroundings through virtual geowalks. The production of didactic instruments for elaborating virtual workshops made it possible to carry out environmental education classes with spatial immersion through adaptations during the teaching period and remote extension activities. The results achieved by the remote extension activities showed that the methodology applied is an alternative to virtual immersion. The StoryMaps reproduced the territory in an immersive way, especially for recognizing georeferenced thematic trails and points, with interactivity for the participants. The weaknesses observed resulted from the difficulties of specific audiences, such as people with low vision and students excluded both digitally and socially, which do not have electronic devices and access to free internet.

In the Theaters of sound, sound stages: sonority and visuality are in solidarity. The article develops in this field, in a theoretical and poetic mode, according to an axis that problematizes the concepts of immersion and strangeness, articulated with presence and absence. The essay is driven by conceptual prospecting, considerations on the anatomical incision of sound, on the relations between scene and technology, and a series of listening gestures, in dialogue with theatrical poetics, such as: Elettra, by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, with sound by Hubert Westkemper (2004); Ouverture Alcina, by Nevio Spadoni, with Ermanna Montanari and music by Luigi Ceccarelli (2009); Not I / Eu Não, by Samuel Beckett, with Maria Alice Vergueiro (1986) and Eislermaterial, directed by Heiner Goebbels (1998).

Psychology as a science and profession studies human phenomena and has several branches composing its fields of practice. In specific terms, the focus of this work falls on Legal Psychology, which integrates the fields of Psychology and of Law. The present study seeks to analyze the performance of a team of psychologists in its interaction with legal professionals and in its relationships in a legal institution. This is developed by means of an experience report prepared from participant observation during the period of July 2019 to March 2020, recorded in a field diary in a Court of Domestic and Family Violence Against Women. Data analysis was also supported by work reports describing situations in the experience and summarizing trajectories in the institution. The results demonstrate that this research contributed to a better understanding of the relationships among teams at the Psychology-Law interface, as well as highlighting the importance of an approach by gender studies and its transversalizations to issues of race, class, and generation, towards a training in Psychology anchored in a commitment to defending women's rights. As the work's return to the field, efforts will be made to improve the analyses on the subjective and social issues involved in the demands related to legal processes in Courts of Domestic and Family Violence against Women shared by both sectors.

The Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP) aims to improve the training of students, through practices that strengthen teaching in public schools of basic education, through the inclusion of Supervised Internship practices that value the relationship between theory and practice as a necessary subsidy for training teachers with skills to face the current demands of contemporary schools. Therefore, this work was carried out with the objective of discovering the contributions of the PRP to the formation of Science teachers in rural schools. A qualitative approach research was carried out, using the questionnaire, participant observation and document analysis as instruments and techniques for data production. The results showed that, even in the face of challenges, the scholarship holders were able to develop the actions of the aforementioned program and relate them to the training assumptions of the Licentiate Course in Rural Education (LEdoC) and that the actions within the school space contributed to the construction of their identities as teachers and for learning teaching knowledge.

Processing in a semisolid state aims to obtain a microstructure with globular, refined grains and isotropic properties, which tends to present better mechanical properties than as cast morphology. The magnesium alloy MRI 230D (Mg-Al6.45-Ca2.25-Mn0.27-Sr0.25-Sn0.84) was submitted to different processing routes in a semi-solid state, SIMA (Strain Induced Melt Activation) and Rheocasting, to evaluate the influence of these processes on the alloy microstructure. For the SIMA route, the alloy was previously laminated, in single pass with 8% deformation, at the temperature of 250 °C. Subsequently, it was heat treated at different temperatures (540 °C and 570 °C) over 40 and 60 minutes. In the rheocasting process, the material was melted at 660 °C and slowly cooled down to the processing temperature (595 °C) and then mechanically stirred. The mechanical stirring times varied from 0 (without stirring), 1, 2, 4 and 8 minutes. Cooling was performed by immersion in water (25 °C) in both processes. The samples were analyzed by optical and electronic microscopy to evaluate the microstructure, as well as thermally analyzed. The results showed that the SIMA process reach a superior shape factor, in addition to a coarser and homogeneous morphology than rheocasting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite its 35 years of academic presence, practice-led research is still in the process of building its status regarding definitions and its discourse. One of the fundamentals of this type of research is that practice-led expands the study to encompass questions that emerge from practice. Practice-led maintain the scientific, academic protocols and observing academic rigour, following structures and themes with the characteristics of rigour: the study goals, the methods for specific media and processes, the substantiation of the process of discovery, and nevertheless, its historical and theoretical context. This article presents the contextual and historical review of knowledge of the practice-led project developed for my PhD project: ‘The process of immersive photography: beyond the cognitive and the physical’ and considers a process methodologically and conceptually, demonstrating its nature and the manner in which it occurs in a photographer’s practice. This process enables a deeply internal yet communicative interaction between the photographer and the land. The aim is to contextualise the main notions and concepts that informed the inquiry, and this article focuses on two of these concepts: immersion, and embodiment while contributes to clarity about the contextual and historical background that informed the research.

Abstract Tick control represent a great challenge to animal health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of acaricidal compounds against Rhipicephalus microplus from dairy cattle systems in Paraná State, Brazil. Six farms (PR1-PR6) were selected, where anti-tick products were applied at fixed intervals. Two other farms that adopted alternative protocols; target selective treatment (PRS), and individual-based agroecological protocol (PRA) were also included in the trial. Fully engorged R. microplus were collected for the in vitro adult immersion test (AIT), and the egg hatch test (EHT) in all eight populations. The larval packet test (LPT) was used on PR6 and PRA tick populations. The treatment groups were composed of G1: dichlorvos 45% plus cypermethrin 5%, G2: deltamethrin 2.5%, G3: cypermethrin 15%, chlorpyriphos 25%, plus citronellal 1%, and G4: amitraz 12.5%. The efficacy at PR1 to PR6 revealed that G3 and G4 achieved moderate to high efficacy, from 75.0 to 100.0% and 73 to 98%, respectively. In the LPT, the efficacy at PR6 was 76.0, 67.0, 93.0 and 30.6%, while PRA presented 100.0, 100.0, 100.0, and 54.0%, for G1, G2, G3 and G4, respectively. Sustainable parasite control strategies are discussed.

The importance of languages in the education of the Executive Secretariat Professional is unquestionable. Then, this article focuses on the experience report of the Cultural Immersion and Improvement of Foreign Languages Program through International Academic Travel (PIM), of the Executive Secretariat Course at the State University of Londrina, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience corresponds to three events organized during such a period, focusing on the cultural immersion experienced before and during the pandemic by students and professors. Carrying out the PIM in the remote format and interactions in English and Spanish was essential to maintain, during the pandemic, the experience of listening, speaking and interacting with people from cultures in other countries.

The main objective of this work is to discuss the act of walking beyond the mechanical movement of the body, since it can be considered a philosophical movement of human immersion and geographical experience of the world. For this, we bring the works of important thinkers who discuss the theme of walking, seeking a cut from the eighteenth century to the present. In addition, we strive to analyze the expressions of the act of walking, that is, the ways in which the walk is inserted in the structure of our society. Finally, we believe that walking in its subjective condition of experiencing and signifying space ends up being directly related to geographic knowledge and even to the identity of geography as a science.
