Aspects of the construction of a politicised female identity in South African fashion photography
Authors:   , Madhoo-Chipps Nirma Dolly
Published: August 2021

This dissertation questions and expands currently held notions of traditional fashion identities in South African fashion photography. The impetus for this study stems from observations of a relatively low level of political engagement in local fashion photography as compared to other areas of art and design which seem very enunciative of a politics of identity. Investigation of identity politics in South African fashion photography was informed by a staged investigation. Firstly, accounts of a literature review of fashion theory and key theories of identity allow entrenched constructions of fashion representations to be seen as restrictively politicised. Primary investigation of expert fashion views followed. The concepts of hybridity and fluidity in theories of identity were central to the discovery of alternative politicised fashion identities

Resilience in the Times of COVID-19: Rethinking the Neoliberal Paradigm and Creating New Strategies for Battling the Global Change
Authors: Pavičević Olivera , Stepanović Ivana , Ilijić Ljeposava
Published: August 2021

The paper is an attempt to redefine the concept of resilience in the context of changes taking place globally. One of the key changes was caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. It has shown the inadequacy of the neoliberal discourse of resilience that shifts responsibility to individuals who must be prepared to overcome the circumstances of crisis or shock. However, resilience can be seen in terms of solidarity, dignity and responsibility towards others. Resilience also implies strategies that involve large investments in public health, ecology and self-sustainable solutions to battle climate change that is causing infectious diseases. The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness of the need to start creating a set of public policies that would imply an ethical evaluation related to the success or failure of treating others responsibly.
Perception of School Climate as a Mediating Factor in Relation between Teacher Motivation and the Perceived School Principal Leadership Style
Authors: Pinkas Gabriel
Published: August 2021

This paper presents the results obtained on a sample of 467 teachers from 25 elementary schools in the wider city area of Tuzla. The subject of the research was the relationship between the principal leadership styles, as perceived by teachers, and the work motivation of teachers, through the perception of the school climate as a potential determinant of this relationship. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), the Work Tasks Motivation Scale for Teachers (WTMST), and the School Level Environment Questionnaire (SLEQ) were used to collect data. The obtained results indicate that the principal leadership style, perceived by teachers, affects teacher motivation directly, and indirectly, through the teachers’ perception of the school climate. This, however, explains a small part of the total variance of motivation, which suggests that motivation is mostly determined by the sum of other factors.
Social and Emotional Competencies And Attitudes of Parents and Educators As Determinants of Abilities and Talents Perception of Preschool Children
Authors: Odobašić Amina , Hasanagić Anela
Published: August 2021

To ensure that the process of giftedness development runs smoothly, it is necessary to build adequate socio-emotional competencies related to the ability to use various social and emotional stimulation from the environment to achieve results that enable satisfactory and competent participation in groups, communities, and society to which individual belongs. The goal of this research was to examine whether and to what extent are socio-emotional competencies of parents and Kindergarten teachers are significant predictors of the perception of talents of preschool children.
The sample consisted out of 100 participants from Zeničko-Dobojski kanton, 75 parents, and 25 educators. As instruments, we used: Questionnaire of general sociodemographic data (SD questionnaire), Giftedness Questionnaire (Von Krafft and Semke, 2008), and questionnaire of socioemotional competencies of educators (Jusufovic, unpublished paper).
The results indicate that among all socio-emotional competencies of parents the only that is significant predictor is awareness of others for assessing the expression of one’s characteristics, for assessing the
expression of talent and out of socio-demographic variables, the variable of age parents is significant, but only for assessing the expression of talents (older parents perceive less giftedness). Furthermore, in the case of educators, pure non-violent communication is important for socio-emotional competencies for the expression of one’s characteristics, then for the expression of talents significant factors are non-violent communication, awareness of others, emotion regulation, self-esteem, and the total score of socio-emotional competencies. Among socio-demographic characteristics, the important predictor is working experience for perceiving talents. In addition to this, there are statistically significant differences between parents and educators, in an expression of talent, and the results show that educators are better in the estimation of expression of talents.

The COVID-19 pandemic, or better known as the coronavirus pandemic, brought many challenges in education, and one of them was the transition to online teaching, that is. use of information and communication technologies in teaching. Information technology is a term that describes parts (hardware) and programs (software) that allow access to download, organize, manipulate and present information electronically, and communication technology (CT) is a term that describes telecommunications equipment that can send, receive information, search and access them. This research aimed to examine the subjective experience of teachers about personal competencies in the use of information and communication technology in teaching. The population of this research consists of primary school teachers in the area of Tuzla Canton, and the total sample consists of 138 respondents. An anonymous internet survey was used, which is distributed with the help of social networks “Facebook” and a Facebook group called “Prosvjeta TK”, which brings together educators from the Tuzla Canton area. In this paper, we assume that teachers assess their information and communication competencies as positive and they consider themselves competent in their use in the teaching process. It also explores aspects of teachers’ digital competencies as essential competencies for 21st-century education. The paper will provide insight into the personal perception of teachers regarding ICT competence, which is included in the fund of previous knowledge and theoretical knowledge. The results of this research could help understand and analyze further practices, decide on further steps to build teachers’ ICT competencies in and for the future of the school.

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Hyrrokkin sarcophaga is a parasitic foraminifera that is commonly found in cold-water coral
reefs where it infests the file clam Acesta excavata and the scleractinian coral
Desmophyllum pertusum (formerly known as Lophelia pertusa). Here, we present measurements of the trace element and
isotopic composition of these parasitic foraminifera, analyzed by
inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), electron probe
microanalysis (EPMA) and mass spectrometry (gas-source MS and
inductively-coupled-plasma MS). Our results reveal that the geochemical signature of H. sarcophaga depends on the host
organism it infests. Sr / Ca ratios are 1.1 mmol mol−1 higher in H. sarcophaga that infest D. pertusum, which could be an indication that dissolved host carbonate material is utilized in shell calcification, given that the aragonite of D. pertusum has a
naturally higher Sr concentration compared to the calcite of A. excavata. Similarly, we measure 3.1 ‰ lower δ13C and 0.25 ‰ lower δ18O values in H. sarcophaga that lived on D. pertusum,
which might be caused by the direct uptake of the host's carbonate material
with a more negative isotopic composition or different pH regimes in these
foraminifera (pH can exert a control on the extent of CO2
hydration/hydroxylation) due to the uptake of body fluids of the host. We
also observe higher Mn / Ca ratios in foraminifera that lived on A. excavata but did not
penetrate the host shell compared to specimen that penetrated the shell,
which could be interpreted as a change in food source, changes in the
calcification rate, Rayleigh fractionation or changing oxygen conditions. While our measurements provide an interesting insight into the calcification process of this unusual foraminifera, these data also indicate that the geochemistry of this parasitic foraminifera is unlikely to be a reliable indicator of paleoenvironmental conditions using Sr / Ca, Mn / Ca, δ18O or δ13C unless the host organism is known and its geochemical composition can be accounted for.
An integrated marine data collection for the German Bight – Part 1: Subaqueous geomorphology and surface sedimentology (1996–2016)
Authors: Sievers Julian , Milbradt Peter , Ihde Romina , Valerius Jennifer , Hagen Robert , Plüß Andreas
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The German Bight located within the central North Sea is a hydro-
and morphodynamically highly complex system of estuaries, barrier islands,
and part of the world's largest coherent tidal flats, the Wadden Sea. To
identify and understand challenges faced by coastal stakeholders, such as
harbor operators or governmental agencies, to maintain waterways and employ
numerical models for further analyses, it is imperative to have a consistent
database for both bathymetry and surface sedimentology. Current commercial
and public data products are insufficient in spatial and temporal resolution
and coverage for recent analysis methods. Thus, this first part of a two-part
publication series of the German joint project EasyGSH-DB describes annual
bathymetric digital terrain models at a 10 m gridded resolution for the
German North Sea coast and German Bight from 1996 to 2016 (Sievers et al.,
2020a, https://doi.org/10.48437/02.2020.K2.7000.0001), as well as surface
sedimentological models of discretized cumulative grain size distribution
functions for 1996, 2006, and 2016 on 100 m grids (Sievers et al., 2020b,
https://doi.org/10.48437/02.2020.K2.7000.0005). Furthermore, basic
morphodynamic and sedimentological processing analyses, such as the
estimation of, for example, bathymetric stability or surface maps of sedimentological
parameters, are provided (Sievers et al., 2020a, b, see respective

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Models are an important tool to predict Earth system dynamics. An accurate
prediction of future states of ecosystems depends on not only model
structures but also parameterizations. Model parameters can be constrained
by data assimilation. However, applications of data assimilation to ecology
are restricted by highly technical requirements such as model-dependent
coding. To alleviate this technical burden, we developed a model-independent
data assimilation (MIDA) module. MIDA works in three steps including data
preparation, execution of data assimilation, and visualization. The first
step prepares prior ranges of parameter values, a defined number of
iterations, and directory paths to access files of observations and models.
The execution step calibrates parameter values to best fit the observations
and estimates the parameter posterior distributions. The final step
automatically visualizes the calibration performance and posterior
distributions. MIDA is model independent, and modelers can use MIDA for an
accurate and efficient data assimilation in a simple and interactive way
without modification of their original models. We applied MIDA to four types of ecological models: the data assimilation linked ecosystem carbon (DALEC)
model, a surrogate-based energy exascale earth system model: the land
component (ELM), nine phenological models and a stand-alone biome
ecological strategy simulator (BiomeE). The applications indicate that MIDA
can effectively solve data assimilation problems for different ecological
models. Additionally, the easy implementation and model-independent feature
of MIDA breaks the technical barrier of applications of data–model fusion in ecology. MIDA facilitates the assimilation of various observations into
models for uncertainty reduction in ecological modeling and forecasting.
ATTRICI v1.1 – counterfactual climate for impact attribution
Authors: Mengel Matthias , Treu Simon , Lange Stefan , Frieler Katja
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Attribution in its general definition aims to quantify drivers of change in
a system. According to IPCC Working Group II (WGII) a change in a natural, human or managed
system is attributed to climate change by quantifying the difference between
the observed state of the system and a counterfactual baseline that
characterizes the system's behavior in the absence of climate change, where
“climate change refers to any long-term trend in climate, irrespective of
its cause” (IPCC, 2014). Impact attribution following this definition remains a challenge
because the counterfactual baseline, which characterizes the system
behavior in the hypothetical absence of climate change, cannot be observed.
Process-based and empirical impact models can fill this gap as they allow us to
simulate the counterfactual climate impact baseline. In those simulations,
the models are forced by observed direct (human) drivers such as land use
changes, changes in water or agricultural management but a counterfactual
climate without long-term changes. We here present ATTRICI (ATTRIbuting
Climate Impacts), an approach to construct the required counterfactual
stationary climate data from observational (factual) climate data. Our
method identifies the long-term shifts in the considered daily climate
variables that are correlated to global mean temperature change assuming a
smooth annual cycle of the associated scaling coefficients for each day of
the year. The produced counterfactual climate datasets are used as forcing
data within the impact attribution setup of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model
Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP3a). Our method preserves the internal
variability of the observed data in the sense that factual and
counterfactual data for a given day have the same rank in their respective
statistical distributions. The associated impact model simulations allow for
quantifying the contribution of climate change to observed long-term changes
in impact indicators and for quantifying the contribution of the observed
trend in climate to the magnitude of individual impact events. Attribution
of climate impacts to anthropogenic forcing would need an additional step
separating anthropogenic climate forcing from other sources of climate
trends, which is not covered by our method.
A VECTOR ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR POPULATION MODELING
Authors: Moehl J. J. , Weber E. M. , McKee J. J.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. We propose a vector alternative to the typical raster based population modeling framework. When compared with rasters, vectors are more precise, have the ability to hold more information, and are more conducive to areal constructs such as building and parcel outlines. While rasters have traditionally provided computational efficiency, much of this efficiency is reduced at finer resolutions and computational resources are more plentiful today. Herein we describe the approach and implementation methodology. We also describe the output data stack for the United States and provide examples and applications.
MONITORING ACTIVE FIRES IN THE LOWER PARANÁ RIVER FLOODPLAIN: ANALYSIS AND REPRODUCIBLE REPORTS ON SATELLITE THERMAL HOTSPOTS
Authors: Morandeira N. S.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Floodplain wetlands play a key role in hydrological and biogeochemical cycles and comprise a large part of the world's biodiversity and resources. The exploitation of remote sensing data can substantially contribute to monitoring procedures at broad ecological scales. In 2020, the Lower Paraná River floodplain (also known as Paraná River Delta, Argentina) suffered from a severe drought, and extended areas were burned. To monitor the wildfire situation, satellite products provided by FIRMS-NASA were used. These thermal hotspots – associated with active fires – can be downloaded as zipped spatial objects (point shapefiles) and include recent and archive records from VIRRS and MODIS thermal infrared sensors. The main aim was to handle these data, analyze the number of hotspots during 2020, and compare the disaster with previous years' situation. Using a reproducible workflow was crucial to ingest the zip files and repeat the same series of plots and analyses when necessary. Obtaining updated reports allowed me to quickly respond to peers, technicians, and journalists about the evolving fire situation. A total of 39,821 VIIRS S-NPP thermal hotspots were detected, with August (winter) accounting for 39.8% of the whole year’s hotspots. MODIS hotspots have lower spatial resolution than VIIRS, so the cumulative MODIS hotspots recorded during 2020 were 8,673, the highest number of hotspots of the last 11 years. Scripts were written in R language and are shared under a CC BY 4.0 license. QGIS was also used to generate a high-quality animation. The workflow can be used in other study areas.
USING JUPYTER NOTEBOOKS FOR VIEWING AND ANALYSING GEOSPATIAL DATA: TWO EXAMPLES FOR EMOTIONAL MAPS AND EDUCATION DATA
Authors: Camara G. S. , Camboim S. P. , Bravo J. V. M.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. This article presents two applications developed using Jupyter Notebook in the Google Colab, combining several Python libraries that enable an interactive environment to query, manipulate, analyse, and visualise spatial data. The first application is from an educational context within the MAPFOR project, aiming to elaborate an interactive map of the spatial distributions of teachers with higher education degrees or pedagogical complementation per vacancies in higher education courses. The Jupyter solutions were applied in MAPFOR to better communicate within the research team, mainly in the development area. The second application is a framework to analyse and visualise collaborative emotional mapping data in urban mobility, where the emotions were collected and represented through emojis. The computational notebook was applied in this emotional mapping to enable the interaction of users, without a SQL background, with spatial data stored in a database through widgets to analyse and visualise emotional spatial data. We developed these different contexts in a Jupyter Notebook to practice the FAIR principles, promote the Open Science movement, and Open Geospatial Resources. Finally, we aim to demonstrate the potential of using a mix of open geospatial technologies for generating solutions that disseminate geographic information.
Solid-state 1H spin polarimetry by 13CH3 nuclear magnetic resonance
Authors: Elliott Stuart J. , Stern Quentin , Jannin Sami
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization is used to prepare nuclear spin
polarizations approaching unity. At present, 1H polarization
quantification in the solid state remains fastidious due to the requirement of measuring
thermal equilibrium signals. Line shape polarimetry of solid-state nuclear
magnetic resonance spectra is used to determine several useful properties
regarding the spin system under investigation. In the case of highly
polarized nuclear spins, such as those prepared under the conditions of
dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization experiments, the absolute
polarization of a particular isotopic species within the sample may be
directly inferred from the characteristics of the corresponding resonance
line shape. In situations where direct measurements of polarization are
complicated by deleterious phenomena, indirect estimates of polarization
using coupled heteronuclear spins prove informative. We present a simple
analysis of the 13C spectral line shape of [2-13C]sodium acetate
based on the normalized deviation of the centre of gravity of the 13C
peaks, which can be used to indirectly evaluate the proton polarization of
the methyl group moiety and very likely the entire sample in the case of
rapid and homogeneous 1H–1H spin diffusion. For the case of
positive microwave irradiation, 1H polarization was found to increase
with an increasing normalized centre of gravity deviation. These results
suggest that, as a dopant, [2-13C]sodium acetate could be used to
indirectly gauge 1H polarizations in standard sample formulations,
which is potentially advantageous for (i) samples polarized in commercial
dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization devices that lack 1H
radiofrequency hardware, (ii) measurements that are deleteriously influenced by radiation damping or complicated by the presence of large background signals and (iii) situations where the acquisition of a thermal equilibrium
spectrum is not feasible.
Contribution of buoyancy fluxes to tropical Pacific sea level variability
Authors: Wagner Patrick , Scheinert Markus , Böning Claus W.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Regional anomalies of steric sea level are either due to redistribution of heat and freshwater anomalies or due to ocean–atmosphere buoyancy fluxes. Interannual to decadal variability in sea level across the tropical Pacific is mainly due to steric variations driven by wind stress anomalies. The importance of air–sea buoyancy fluxes is less clear. We use a global, eddy-permitting ocean model and a series of sensitivity experiments with quasi-climatological momentum and buoyancy fluxes to identify the contribution of buoyancy fluxes for interannual to decadal sea level variability in the tropical Pacific. We find their contribution on interannual timescales to be strongest in the central tropical Pacific at around a 10∘ latitude in both hemispheres and also relevant in the very east of the tropical domain. Buoyancy-flux-forced anomalies are correlated with variations driven by wind stress changes, but their effect on the prevailing anomalies and the importance of heat and freshwater fluxes vary locally. In the eastern tropical basin, interannual sea level variability is amplified by anomalous heat fluxes, while the importance of freshwater fluxes is small, and neither has any impact on decadal timescales. In the western tropical Pacific, the variability on interannual and decadal timescales is dampened by both heat and freshwater fluxes. The mechanism involves westward-propagating Rossby waves that are triggered during El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events by anomalous buoyancy fluxes in the central tropical Pacific and counteract the prevailing sea level anomalies once they reach the western part of the basin.

On time evolution of force-free magnetospheres around a slowly rotating compact object
Authors: Fattoyev F.J. , Tadjimuratov P.S. , Juraeva N.B.
Published: August 2021

This paper reformulates the stability structure of force-free magnetosphere of a rotating black hole discussed in paper [1]. We do some corrections in the main equations of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics written by this author. It is shown that in a regime of slow rotation, evolution equations (18)-(20) and Maxwell equations (B6), (B7), and (B13) of paper [1] were not written correctly. Although there is a large number of typos in the equations given by [1], our calculations show this does not violate the stability structure of force-free magnetosphere which in its turn means that the energy extraction mechanism via surrounding, stable forcefree magnetosphere of a rotating black hole immersed in magnetic field can exist.
Investigation of radiation defects in steatite ceramics SK-1 and SNC by the EPR method
Authors: Saidakhmedov K.Kh. , Nuritdinov I. , Baydjanov M.I.
Published: August 2021

The EPR spectra of γ- and n-γ-reactor irradiated steatite ceramics SK-1 and SNC has been studied. It is shown that structural defects of the E ′-center type are created in the structure of the SK-1 and SNC ceramics under the action of high doses of γ-irradiation. After n-γ-irradiation and additional annealing, paramagnetic defect centers such as interstitial Me2++e− ions are created in the structure of the SNC ceramics, which are caused by amorphization of the ceramic crystal phase and the creation of a Mg enriched glass phase at the interface between crystalline and amorphous phases.
Методологические подходы к формированию принципов бюджетирования производственной деятельности предприятия
Authors: Аль Обайди Аднан Таха
Published: August 2021

Актуальность исследования принципов бюджетирования производственной деятельности предприятия обусловлена низким уровнем планирования производственно-хозяйственной деятельности. В первую очередь стоит отметить характеристики, которые осуществляют указанный уровень. Это – формирование вектора и пропорции положительной тенденции производства с учетом существующих как материальных, так и трудовых ресурсов на базе извлечения необходимых рынку видов, объемов товаров, а также сроков их выпуска. Благодаря грамотной разработке бюджетирования на предприятии можно детально оценить финансовую состоятельность определенных видов бизнеса и продуктов, что в конечном итоге сформирует прочную финансовую устойчивость всей организации. Научная новизна исследования заключается в анализе методологии бюджетирования, в частности, в уточнении специфических принципов в исследуемой области. В становление и развитие бюджетирования внесли и вносят свой вклад многие отечественные и зарубежные ученые. В настоящее время существует большое количество принципов бюджетирования, но при этом автором были выделены наиболее важные из них. Covid-19 внес свои коррективы, следовательно, это имеет отражение и в данной области исследования. В результате анализа методологических аспектов исследуемой области автор пришел к выводу о том, что единственное правильное решение в таких условиях – использовать именно в комплексе три основных принципа (принцип «к единым стандартам», принцип «прозрачности» информации, принцип ответственности), что впоследствии окажет рост производственной деятельности предприятия.

Актуальность разработки модели борьбы партий определяется важностью рассматриваемого процесса для определения стратегии жизни стран и народов. В данном исследовании для описания конкуренции партий используется модифицированная модель Ричардсона (гонки вооружений) в виде динамической системы дифференциальных уравнений. С помощью операторного метода получено аналитическое решение динамической системы дифференциальных уравнений. Для пояснения разработанного метода рассмотрен конкретный числовой пример. Проанализированы особенности применения модели конкуренции политических партий. Определены перспективы дальнейшего развития нового разработанного метода.

Представлены концептуальные основы оценивания личностных приоритетов человека и его нацеленности на достижение результатов проекта на основе применения методов нечеткой логики, нейронных сетей и средств виртуальной реальности. Для оценивания нацеленности человека на достижение результатов проекта предложено использовать четырёхслойную нейронно-нечеткую сеть, обученную на экспертных данных об исполнителях ранее реализованных проектов. Выявление личностных приоритетов человека основано на использовании интеллектуального анализа текстовых интернет-сообщений человека с помощью применения нейросетевых технологий обработки естественного языка. Исследования могут быть использованы для создания программных средств поддержки принятия решений при подборе исполнителей о включении человека в состав проектной команды.

Published: August 2021

In this paper, underpricing of Initial Public Offerings across thirteen different sectors in the Indian stock market have been analyzed, during the period 2010–2020 (Data available till 31st October 2020). A sample of 129 companies, having an issue size greater than INR 100 crores, was examined and analyzed through IPO listing gains, weighted mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. The study shows that Retail, FMCG and Consumer Durables industry was underpriced the most while Engineering, Construction and Infrastructure industry issues were underpriced the least or overpriced. It was also found that Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) could be a window to make immediate gains in a very short period of time if thorough analysis of the issues and the market conditions is performed. Furthermore, it was observed that the first day return of the companies varies highly and cannot be fairly predicted by the weighted average first day return of the respective sector.
Philosophical Alignments in Social Science Inquiry: A Scoping Review
Authors: Tende F. B.
Published: August 2021

This review seeks to understand the implications of empiricism, interpretivism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, pluralism, and solipsism in social science inquiry within social reality, using scoping review method. An in-depth review of the literature was conducted to understand the various philosophical alignments or paradigms applied in social sciences research. The study is aimed at understanding and applying these paradigms with the view of having a deep comprehension of the turbulences plaguing society and proffering solutions to them. From the review, it was discovered that the various philosophical alignments in social science inquiry provide the scientist or researcher with a worldview of the different perspectives and multiple levels of analysis of the social world. Thus, creating a systematic lens from which individuals (at several levels), groups, and organizations are examined to know the; “when”, “how”, and “why” they behave the way and manner that they do. It was concluded that an adequate understanding of these paradigms would better shape the methodology to be adopted in conducting research studies within the social and/or behavioural sciences. This will help determine its objectivity, rigor, or the extent to which scientific methodology is applied within social science researches. Lastly, a combination of these paradigms creates a mixed-method, which demonstrates knowledge validity and objectivity in investigator triangulation (which involves; observation, questionnaire administration, and interview), data triangulation (which encompasses collecting data at different times from different people in different places as a cross-check for validity and to check the interpretation and conclusion arrived at), methodological triangulation (which includes within-method triangulation and between method triangulation: the former entails the application of various techniques within the same method, while the latter applies a combination of research methods), generalization, verification, explanation, and deductions. This will allow for data gathering and/or fact-finding, in search of new knowledge, and subsuming new valid knowledge, enhance research results and findings efficacy.

O distanciamento social imposto pela pandemia da Covid-19 obrigou o ensino presencial a interromper suas atividades, e migrá-las imediatamente para o sistema remoto de ensino, impondo as disciplinas com aulas práticas a uma adaptação imediatas dos seus conteúdos sem os espaços físicos e equipamentos que estas aulas requerem. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar o site Monitoria virtual de Histologia como um recurso metodológico digital em substituição as aulas práticas presenciais de Histologia durante o regime remoto de ensino. O presente trabalho é relato de experiência vivenciada no programa de monitoria da disciplina de Histologia. Para realizar a monitoria virtual, foi desenvolvido um site através de uma plataforma gratuita, que também é responsável pela hospedagem, intitulado como Monitoria virtual de Histologia. No site foram disponibilizados portfólios de imagens de cortes histológicos de diferentes tecidos de origem animal. De forma síncrona, a equipe de monitoria utilizava as imagens teciduais disponíveis para apresentar aos estudantes as características morfológicas e celulares de tecidos humanos. De forma assíncrona os estudantes utilizavam o site para confeccionar o portfólio digital. 87% dos estudantes que participaram da monitoria virtual acessaram o site durante as aulas síncronas, enquanto 92% dos estudantes acessaram o site em momentos assíncronos. Os novos cenários de ensino, impostos pela pandemia da Covid-19, impulsionou o desenvolvimento de um recurso metodológico que permitiu a apresentação dos conteúdos práticos da disciplina Histologia, através de um site possibilitando ao aluno acesso a estes conteúdos de forma síncrona e assíncrona.
