Authors: Girardi Tatiana de Assis , Girardi Daniel , Marques Jefferson Luiz Brum , Del Castanhel Flávia
Published: October 2021

O novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) causa a doença COVID-19, declaradamente uma pandemia que ataca principalmente os pulmões, podendo a ventilação mecânica invasiva ser necessária. Além da catástrofe global, a pandemia causou uma preocupação mundial, entre elas a interrupção de aulas e treinamentos presenciais. O objetivo desse estudo foi comparar e analisar o uso do Simulador Didático de Ventilação Mecânica (SDVM) como ferramenta auxiliar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem em ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI) antes e durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizado um questionário online elaborado pelos autores. Foram obtidas e analisadas 1.186 respostas no período de 1º de março a 24 de junho dos anos de 2019 e 2020. Como resultado, o perfil dos usuários do SDVM é composto em sua maioria, por estudantes (graduação, pós-graduação e residência), do curso de Fisioterapia da rede privada de ensino. Referente aos profissionais, observou-se que com a pandemia da COVID-19, houve um aumento de 240% de respostas obtidas por eles comparado com o mesmo período de 2019, sendo fisioterapeutas a maioria. Por se tratar de uma ferramenta gratuita, sem limite de acesso ou de tempo, em 2020 o SDVM foi acessado 8.482 uma variação de 296,5% comparado aos 2.139 acessos no mesmo período de 2019.Esse aumento sugere que, por existir uma carência de profissionais com experiência e conhecimento suficientes para o manuseio da VMI, o SDVM tenha sido empregado como uma ferramenta para auxiliar cursos de aprimoramento, capacitação e até mesmo para a formação de novos profissionais.

O artigo científico intitulado “Desafios do ensinar e do aprender no ensino remoto: o Curso de Pedagogia, do Plano Nacional de Formação de Professores da Educação Básica (PARFOR), em foco” diz respeito a uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada na metodologia da narrativa, assente no relato de experiência. Sua motivação surgiu a partir do cenário de pandemia que movimentou, de forma súbita e inesperada, professores/as e alunos/as a realizarem o ensino no formato intitulado “remoto”. Objetiva-se com este trabalho conhecer de que forma professores/as e alunos/as superaram os desafios na esfera do ensinar e do aprender, diante do quadro social de exceção impingido pela epidemia Corona Vírus-19. Como marcos teóricos fundamentais se destacam, especialmente, as pesquisas de (retirada por sigilo) e Nóvoa (2017) propiciando um colóquio com autores renomados, tais como Morin (2003) e Freire (1996), dentre outros. A temática é pertinente à esfera da “Formação docente”. Está estruturada em dois momentos. No primeiro versa sobre as relações entre o ensinar, o aprender e a formação em contextos pedagógicos excepcionais. No segundo, é apresentado o relato de experiência, em que as discussões remetem à conclusão de que a formação profissional docente necessita ser reestruturada a fim de contemplar situações educativas para estados incomuns e de emergência. O estudo agrega valores e reflexões quanto a capacidade humana de superação, diante de experiências sociais e educativas de natureza adversa.
GÊNERO E AUTOMUTILAÇÃO NA ESCOLA BÁSICA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO
Authors: Dionísio Juliana Soares , De Queiroz Paulo Pires
Published: October 2021

ResumoEm meio ao intenso debate da atualidade sobre gênero e educação, surge a demanda de uma escola de ensino fundamental, situada em uma área de extrema miserabilidade e violência: a automutilação entre adolescentes vítimas de abuso sexual. A despeito desta realidade, o sistema educacional permanece ancorado em uma estrutura ‘escolarizatória’, que pouco vislumbra os demais aspectos da vida de seu alunado. Com base nesta premissa, este trabalho objetivou analisar as possíveis correlações entre as relações de gênero e episódios de automutilação identificados entre adolescentes que compõem esta comunidade escolar. Para tanto, foram realizadas rodas de conversa semanais, com 10 jovens- com idades entre 11 e 15 anos, além de 3 profissionais da educação. Utilizamos ainda como instrumento metodológico, a observação livre e o registro em caderno de campo.  Através da articulação e análise dos dados coletados, observamos que as relações de gênero estariam a funcionar como o arcabouço no qual toda a estrutura de violência se erige. A falta de estrutura e preparo dos espaços e agentes públicos, estaria a fomentar o desenvolvimento do autoflagelamento como alternativa de expurgo das dores psíquicas. Neste cenário, entendemos a necessidade de repensar a educação em gênero e desconstruir paradigmas fundamentados em valores patriarcais hegemônicos. Abstract               Amid the current intense debate on gender and education, there is a demand for a primary school located in an area of extreme misery and violence: self-mutilation among adolescents who are victims of sexual abuse. In spite of this reality, the educational system remains anchored in a school structure, that little glimpses the other aspects of the life of its pupil. Based on this premise, this study aimed to analyze the possible correlations between gender relations and episodes of self - mutilation identified among adolescents that make up this school community. For that, weekly talk wheels were held, with 10 young people - aged between 11 and 15 years old, as well as 3 education professionals. We also used as a methodological tool, free observation and registration in a field book. Through the articulation and analysis of the collected data, we observed that gender relations would be functioning as the framework in which the entire structure of violence is erected. The lack of structure and preparation of spaces and public agents, would be encouraging the development of self-flagellation as an alternative to purge psychic pain. In this scenario, we understand the need to rethink education in gender and deconstruct paradigms based on hegemonic patriarchal values.

Com a inclusão, as pessoas surdas e deficientes auditivos passam a ser inseridos no ensino regular, e com isso é necessário a presença de um profissional Tradutor e Intérprete de Libras (TILS) na sala de aula. Entender como estes profissionais estão se interagindo com os docentes em sala de aula é de suma importância. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa objetivou em realizar um estudo sobre a relação entre professores de química e intérprete de LIBRAS em uma sala de aula inclusiva com o intuito de compreender as implicações e os fatores durante as aulas de química. A pesquisa trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e optou-se pelo uso de questionário contendo 7 (sete) perguntas dissertativas, com a finalidade de traçar o perfil acadêmico dos docentes, bem como informações relacionadas à sua formação, ao ensino de Química na perspectiva inclusiva e a relação entre professor-intérprete no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Participaram desta pesquisa 3 (três) docentes, sendo um do sexo masculino e duas professoras do sexo feminino, sendo todos com formação em Química. Constatou-se que mesmo com pouca experiência destes professores com alunos surdos, o trabalho pedagógico entre professor-intérprete é de extrema importância, como forma de garantir o processo de ensino e aprendizagem e estes profissionais mostram ter uma boa interação, o que contribui para o ensino da Química, sendo essa uma disciplina de difícil compreensão para os alunos surdos.
ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS, ALFABETIZAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA E TECNOLÓGICA E ENFOQUE CIÊNCIA, TECNOLOGIA E SOCIEDADE: O QUE PENSAM DOCENTES DOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL EM EXERCÍCIO?
Authors: Fabri Fabiane
Published: October 2021

O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar um levantamento sobre as concepções dos professores que atuam no 4º e 5º ano de ensino da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de Ponta Grossa- Paraná em relação ao ensino de ciências, enfoque CTS (Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade) e sobre Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica (ACT). A abordagem metodológica foi à quantitativa, cujo instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário composto por perguntas abertas e fechadas. Os principais resultados demonstraram que a grande maioria dos professores 60%, possui formação em Pedagogia, o tempo de magistério, a maioria 38% tem entre 11 e 20 anos. No que diz respeito a sua jornada de trabalho 63% tem 40 horas semanais na rede. Em relação a formação inicial 49% colocou como insuficiente. Foi possível perceber que os professores que atuam na Rede Municipal de Ensino, um número preocupante 80%, nunca fizeram cursos de formações continuadas na área de ciências, seja por falta de oportunidade e/ou desconhecimento. Também afirmaram que a prioridade é dada para o ensino na área de português e matemática e que o ensino de ciências e de outras áreas ficam em segundo plano. No que tange ao conhecimento do enfoque CTS 40% nunca ouviu falar nesse termo e nem utiliza em suas aulas, a maioria 55% afirmou ter ouvido falar, ou por leitura, participação em oficinas e palestras. Todavia, destes poucos foram os que mostraram ter uma visão mais adequada do que seria o enfoque CTS. Também em relação à Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica (ACT) a grande maioria 70% desconhece o que vem a ser, possuindo uma visão equivocada em relação à ACT, associando-a com o uso de um recurso tecnológico (vídeo, computador entre outros), ao fato de alfabetizar seus alunos na leitura e escrita oferecendo jogos por meio de recursos tecnológicos. Salienta-se que esses são dados que serviram de subsídios para o desenvolvimento de uma FC na área de ciências com enfoque CTS na forma de projeto de extensão do PPGECT/UTFPR-PG em parceria com a Secretaria Municipal de Educação da cidade de Ponta Grossa – Pr, a qual é foco da pesquisa para a tese de doutorado do PPGECT (Programa de Pós Graduação em Ensino de Ciência e Tecnologia) da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná – Campus Ponta Grossa na forma de pesquisa-ação, a qual se encontra em andamento.
Academic Exchange and Outreach Projects: Reflexions from an Experience on Refugees, Homeless and Occupations in Brazil and France.
Authors: FIRMO HELOISA TEIXEIRA
Published: October 2021

Environmental engineering students conduct academic exchanges as part of their education. Refugees and homeless in many countries have in common the search for decent housing and basic survival conditions. Today's serious socio-environmental problems must be addressed by professionals who are able to propose effective and lasting solutions. Thus, and seeking to contribute to a full citizen formation of the individual and engineer of today's society, this article describes the experience of a French exchange student from EIVP (Ecole des Ingénieurs de Ville de Paris) in Environmental Engineering at UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) in the MUDA Outreach project, where the student had the opportunity to visit occupations supported by social movements in previously unoccupied places in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. From reflections on the concept of refugee in Brazil and France, were analyzed and compared initiatives of settlements and homeless in both countries. It is concluded that, although distinct, the displacement crises of individuals and families in both countries have several points in common, highlighting that successful solutions can occur when the main objective is to propose comprehensive social inclusion projects that begin with the consolidation of a new generation of global citizens, which is the main contribution of this work.

Published: October 2021

O rendimento acadêmico (RA) se configura como a forma de mensurar o aprendizado ao longo da formação e é determinado por fatores relacionados ao discente, às instituições de ensino e aos docentes, sendo comumente utilizado como critério de avaliação do sucesso acadêmico. A presente investigação objetiva avaliar os fatores relacionados ao RA de estudantes do Ensino Superior e se configura como estudo censitário, realizado em uma Instituição privada de Ensino Superior brasileira. Diversas informações foram coletadas, por meio de formulário eletrônico, junto dos estudantes: opção de curso e instituição, cursos, idade, sexo, período cursado, grau de instrução de pai e mãe, renda familiar mensal e autopercepção do RA. Dados relativos ao RA foram obtidos no banco de dados institucional, considerando o Coeficiente de Rendimento, estimado pela média de todas as notas finais obtidas pelo aluno em todas disciplinas cursadas. Participaram 264 estudantes de 19 cursos, com média de idades de 22,25 (DP=5,57) anos, sendo 166 (62.9%) do sexo feminino. A variação de RA foi significativa em relação às áreas de conhecimento, sexo, faixa etária e autopercepção do rendimento. Não foi significativa quanto ao grau de instrução de pai e mãe, quando segmentados em todos os níveis, entretanto, a escolaridade da mãe torna-se relevante quando estratificada a partir dos oito primeiros anos de escolaridade.  Os resultados permitem inferir que os alunos possuem uma correta percepção de seu RA e que a construção deste rendimento é multifatorial.  Considerações e implicações para a prática são tecidas com base nos resultados.

Gamifying Audio Description Training
Authors: Zhang Xiaochun
Published: October 2021

State-of-the-art training methods for audio description (AD) are essential in preparing future professionals to meet the demand for accessible media content. Gamification, the application of game elements in non-game contexts, has been gaining increasing scholarly attention in the field of teaching and learning over the past few years. It is considered an effective pedagogical approach and has been applied in diverse contexts but not yet in AD training. This paper first provides a brief review of current AD teaching practice before investigating the implementation of gamification strategies in the language industry and in translator and interpreter training. It then introduces a gamified in-class activity based on the framework of Werbach and Hunter (2012). The process of gamification, the design of the activity, and its reception by students are presented and discussed. As it seems to be the first attempt at applying gamification to the teaching of AD, there is plenty of space for improvement and further gamification. Reflection and suggestions on the activity design and gamification as a pedagogical approach are thus provided in the hope of exploring new methods in AD teaching as well as other topics in translator and interpreter training.

Published: October 2021

The aim of this study is to determine whether a live music therapy session during parent holding had an effect on physiological and comfort outcomes of late-moderate preterm infants, on their parents, and on the ward environment. This is a quasi-experimental study of a cohort of 44 preterm / adult pairs exposed to a music therapy session in the first two weeks after birth. There were 3 moments of observation (before, during, and after the intervention), at which heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (O2-sat), the infant’s behavioral-emotional activation level, and the environmental response were measured. A statistically significant increase was observed in O2-sat (p<.001) after the intervention, as well as a decrease in HR (p<.001). Personal and environmental stress was observed to decrease (p<.001). A music therapy session in the Neonatal Unit at the time of interaction between parents and premature infants was found to be useful in reducing stress and promoted a positive interaction between parents and infants.
To the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven: How sick was the genius musician really in his life?
Authors: Trappe Hans-Joachim
Published: October 2021

Background: Ludwig van Beethoven was born 250 years ago on December 17th, 1770 in Bonn, Germany. Although he was one of the most brilliant composers of all time, his life was shaped by many illnesses. Many know that Beethoven was hard of hearing and later deaf and that he could not longer hear his own works. However, there are many diseases that were little and or not known and that still shaped his life significantly.Methods: This article reports the medical history of this artist, based on authoritative scientific sources.Results: Even when he was young, Beethoven fell ill with smallpox, which gave his face a typical appearance. Since 1804/1805 he had been unable to see properly and was wearing glasses. The first hearing disorders appeared in 1796, treatment began in 1800. From 1814, hearing loss worsened significantly. The cause of hearing disorders is still unclear. From the age of 25, there was colic, diarrhea and fever, probably caused by a chronic pancreatitis. It is certain that Beethoven suffered from hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, certainly significantly influenced by alcohol consumption. Liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices were the consequences, and certainly also psychological changes to his difficult personality. In 1825, there was a cough of blood, nosebleeds and ascites and until 1827, 30-40 l of ascites were punctured.. On March 26, 1827, Beethoven died in the liver coma.Conclusions: Beethoven was a brilliant musician and composer who had many illnesses in his life. Above all, his hearing impairment significantly influenced his life. He had also frequent gastroenterological diseases, especially pancreatitis, hepatitis and live cirrhosis. Alcohol certainly played an important role in his life and influenced many illnesses.

Authors: Thiel Brooke L. , Marx Adam A.
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors, attitudes, and beliefs that led secondary schoolbased agricultural education (SBAE) teachers to adopt agriscience research Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) into their programs. Nine current SBAE teachers from North Dakota participated in semi-structured interviews regarding their experiences with agriscience research SAEs. The interviews were subjected to two rounds of coding and were collapsed into themes during a third round of analysis. A myriad of experiences, beliefs, and factors contributed to teachers’ decisions to adopt agriscience research SAEs into their programs. However, the most salient reasons were compatibility with the overall goals of the school district, a commitment to whole-student development, teacher ability and support, multitasking behavior, extensive teacher planning and student support, and positive student buy-in. Though the unique experiences of the participants are not generalizable beyond the present study, we offer recommendations for teacher educators, state staff, and teacher leaders regarding the further adoption and integration of agriscience research SAEs into SBAE programs nationwide.

Published: October 2021

Purpose

Visual choice reaction time can be measured in reaching, which is an important task to investigate after stroke owing to its high clinical importance in activities of daily living. The study aim was to evaluate the visual choice reaction time during reaching tasks in the ipsilateral and contralateral spaces before and after a single training session of choice reaction time in patients after a mild stroke.

Methods

The cross-sectional study involved 7 individuals after a mild stroke. The visual choice reaction time was evaluated during reaching in the affected and unaffected sides in the ipsilateral and contralateral spaces. All individuals trained the choice reaction time during a functional reaching task in a single session. In the training, 6 circles were used in a randomized sequence in 5 blocks, with 10 stimuli per block, for a total of 50 repetitions.

Results

There was a significant reduction in the choice reaction time for the unaffected side in the ipsilateral space after training (p = 0.041). The other task conditions did not show a statistical difference, but a clinical relevance based on Cohen’s d (d > 0.60).

Conclusions

A single training session can decrease the choice reaction time for the affected side during tasks in the ipsilateral space after a mild stroke.
How does the amount of movement and observer expertise shape the perception of motion aesthetics in dance?
Authors: Vinken Pia M. , Heinen Thomas
Published: October 2021

Purpose

Research on empirical aesthetics suggests that specific kinematic parameters are related to the perception of motion aesthetics. Furthermore, an observer’s expertise seems to be related to the perception of motion aesthetics when complex biological motion stimuli are present. The central aim of this study was to investigate whether the amount that specific body parts moved during a complex motor skill was related to the perception of motion aesthetics in observers with different levels of sensory-motor expertise.

Methods

Overall, 36 participants divided into 2 groups (18 dancers and 18 non-dancers) were asked to indicate their perceived motion aesthetics when they watched stick-figure video sequences of 3 different semi-standardized dance skills. The stick-figure video sequences were generated from original motion stimuli, and motion aesthetics were measured via Likert scales.

Results

The perception of motion aesthetics in relation to the amount that specific body parts move is skill- and expertise-specific. Dance poses are perceived similarly by dancers and non-dancers, but motion aesthetics during dance jumps and turns are perceived differently. Furthermore, the amount that specific body parts move affects whether the observer perceives the motor skills as more or less aesthetic.

Conclusions

The observer’s sensory-motor expertise regarding the observed motor skills can shape their perception of motion aesthetics. The findings of this study demonstrate that there is a skill- and expertise-specific relationship between motion kinematics and motion aesthetics.
Early Cinema, Modernity and Visual Culture
Authors: Grgic Ana
Published: October 2021

Based on original archival research, Early Cinema, Modernity and Visual Culture: The Imaginary of the Balkans is the first study on early cinema in the region from a transnational and cross-cultural perspective. It investigates how the unique geopolitical positioning of the Balkan space and its multiculturality influenced and shaped visual culture and cinema. Countering Eurocentric modernity paradigms and reframing hierarchical relations between centres and peripheries, this book adopts an alternative methodology for interstitial spaces. By deploying the notion of the haptic, it establishes new connections between moving image artefacts and print media, early film practitioners, the socio-political context and cultural responses to the new visual medium.

A Q-Learning based Fault-Tolerant Controller with Application to CSTH System
Authors: Ali Hosseini Seyed , Salahshoor Karim
Published: October 2021

Systems are continually subjected to faults or malfunctions because of age or sudden events, which might degrade the operation performance and even result in operation failure that is a quite important issue in safety-critical systems. Thus, this important problem is the main reason to use the Fault-Tolerant strategy to improve the system’s performance with the presence of faults. A fascinating property in Fault-Tolerant Controllers (FTCs) is adaptability to system changes as they evolve throughout system operations. In this paper, a Q-learning algorithm with a greedy policy was used to realize the FTC adaptability. Then, some fault scenarios are introduced in a Continuous Stirred Tank Heater (CSTH) to compare the closed-loop performance of the developed Q-learning-based FTC with concerning conventional PID controller and an RL-based FTC. The obtained results show the effectiveness of Q-learningbased FTC in different fault scenarios.

Published: October 2021

The slow learner in this study is a condition in which children experience slowness in their cognitive abilities and are below the average normal child so he needs more time to understand or master the subject matter. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring techniques to increase students' slow learner learning motivation, cognitive restructuring techniques to replace negative thoughts and interpretations with positive action thoughts so as not to get used to and become aware of their thought processes. This type of research uses Quasi Experiments with pre-test and post-test designs to compare the experimental group and the control group. Research subjects are slow learner students who have low motivation levels with a total of 14 students. The results of the experimental group measurements showed that the post-test score was higher than the pre-test score. Besides that, the Wilcoxon signed Rank Test test shows that the Sig. <0.05 so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that there are significant differences in the level of slow learner student learning motivation before and after treatment is given. This shows that group counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques is effective in increasing slow learner students' learning motivation.

Introduction and Aim: InAsia, the prevalence of forward neck posture is 66%. Forward neck posture is the anterior positioning of cervical spine. This posture is sometimes called as “scholar’s neck. Forward neck posture can lead to musculoskeletal disorders such as injuries in muscles, tendons, and peripheral vessels, vascular vessels caused by repetitive or continuous use of certain body part. In forward neck posture, the sternocleidomastoid muscle and trapezius are largely responsible for turning and nodding the head. When the head moves front, the spine follows, pulling the shoulder blades forward as well.They make contact with the upper ribs and begin to drag it forward with them.Therefore, this study aims to quantify forward neck posture in prolonged smart phone users.

 

Methodology:An observational study was done in smartphone using student population comparing the control group students with forward neck posture studentsfor the duration of 3weeks. This study has included 100 students with forward neck posturewho were recruited fromDr. MGR Educational & Research Institute. Goniometer, Craniovertebral angle and Plumb line were used as the outcome measure.

 

Results:The findings of this research exhibit there is a statistically significant changes inforward neck posture studentscompared with control group and the mean difference is 14.97 in two groups students.

 

Conclusion:The present study concluded that 3 weeks after assessing the students. Forward neck posture students found to have decreased craniovertebral angle and range of motion compared to normal neck posture students and also found that forward neck posture students spent 5-6 hours using smart phones per day.

Water pollution is a global environmental issue, and aquatic sediments are important compartments that might act as sinks or sources of contaminants. Once in the environment, inorganic contaminants such as metals can cause cytogenotoxic effects that damage genetic material and harm the aquatic community. Biological assays such as the Allium test can be used to investigate potential cytogenotoxicity of contaminated sediments based on the alterations of cell cycle indexes and chromosomal aberration frequencies. Therefore, we aimed to assess the toxicity of sediments from four Brazilian reservoirs using the Allium test. Sediments were sampled and elutriates were prepared in a simulating sediment resuspension in the water column. The Allium test was applied to the elutriates, and the metals copper, chromium, cadmium, lead, zinc, and iron were quantified. The elutriates derived from reservoir sediments were able to reduce the mitotic and anaphase index, increase the prophase and metaphase index, and boost chromosomal aberrations compared to the negative control. The cytogenotoxic effects observed may be linked to the presence of copper, zinc, and iron. Therefore, our results showed that the Allium test was a sensitive tool for warning the occurrence of genotoxic contaminants in sediment elutriates from four Brazilian reservoirs.

Partes Transilvane intrabunt et te de tota terra tua disperdent: Maximilian I de Habsburg către Ştefan cel Mare după Codrii Cosminului (I)
Authors: Pop Ioan-Aurel , Simon Alexandru
Published: October 2021

An astonishing and furthermore anonymous report was preserved in the archives of the “Slovak branch” of the Erdődi family. Written in all likelihood in spring 1498, and – additionally – with direct focus on the policies of future cardinal Thomas Bakócz of Erdőd (Ardud), the extensive Latin document covered the recent talks and arrangements between Maximilian I of Habsburg, King of the Romans, and Stephen the Great, voivode of Moldavia. The document was eloquently entitled Modus conspirationis Romanorum regis Maximiliani cum Stephano, waywoda Moldavo, contra statum serenissimi principis domini Wladislai, Dei gratia regis Hungarie, Bohemie etc. et similiter contra statum serenissimi principis domini Alberti, Polonorum regis, primus initam cum prefata maiestate regis Hungarie et strictissimo iuramento firmatam perpetuam pacem et concordiam. The report provides a thorough overview of Maximilian’s (and Stephen’s) complex network of Hungarian supporters, as well as an insight into the most delicate matter of Habsburg-Ottoman agreements. The document substantiates Maximilian’s pompous claim of February 1498 (made in front of the Spanish ambassador at his court) that the Wallachian (Stephen of Moldavia) controlled half of Hungary, while the other half of the realm reverted to the King of the Romans, therefore prompting the profound reformation of Europe, much desired by the Habsburg monarch.
Race at the Centre: The Ramifications of W. E. B. Du Bois’s Sociology in Contemporary Literary Studies
Authors: Chiorean Maria

Starting from José Itzigsohn and Karida L. Brown’s 2020 book, The Sociology of W. E. B. Du Bois, this article discusses the contribution of Du Boisian sociology to the field of postcolonial literary studies, arguing that his main concepts and his methodology might help untangle some of postcolonialism’s current debates.
Acceptabilité des traitements de l'insomnie utilisant la privation de sommeil

Entre 30 et 40% des patients souffrant d’insomnie ne répondent pas aux interventions recommandées. Un obstacle aux traitements est le manque d’adhérence des patients, principalement causé par les délais avant de constater des résultats. Un nouveau traitement, le réentraînement intensif au sommeil, vise des résultats rapides, mais pourrait être exigeant pour les patients en raison de la privation de sommeil requise d’environ 40h. Afin d’explorer les effets transitoires des traitements utilisant la privation de sommeil sur les émotions et la somnolence des patients, 10 participants souffrant d’insomnie ont été randomisés dans trois conditions : le réentraînement intensif au sommeil, la privation de sommeil totale et la condition contrôle. Ils ont évalué leur somnolence et différentes émotions chaque heure, pendant une période de 21h. Une comparaison des scores moyens de chaque condition a révélé que le réentraînement intensif au sommeil et la privation de sommeil totale causent plus de somnolence que la condition contrôle, mais il n’y a pas de différence significative entre les deux premières conditions. De plus, aucune différence significative n'a été observée quant aux émotions négatives ressenties. Ces résultats sont encourageants pour l’acceptabilité du traitement étudié, puisque ses effets émotionnels ne sont pas plus intenses que les autres conditions.

Cette étude s’intéresse à l’influence des symptômes du trouble de stress posttraumatique (TSPT) dans l’apparition de comportements sexuels problématiques (CSP) chez les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels âgés de 5 à 12 ans. L’échantillon se compose de 256 dyades mère-enfant, dont 173 dyades dans lesquelles les enfants ont une probabilité élevée d’avoir vécu un ou plusieurs abus sexuels et 83 dyades contrôles dans lesquelles les enfants n’ont pas été victime d’abus sexuel. Chaque groupe est évalué avec le Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) et le Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI). Les résultats obtenus sont que les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels présentent significativement plus de symptômes du TSPT et développent davantage de CSP que les enfants n’ayant pas vécu d’abus sexuel. De plus, les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels présentant davantage de symptômes du TSPT développent davantage de CSP. Les résultats de cette étude serviront de pistes d’interventions futures afin de prévenir précocement l’apparition de CSP chez les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels.

Certains réseaux sociaux (RS), comme Instagram et TikTok, sont basés exclusivement sur le partage de photos ou de vidéos. Les utilisateurs de ces RS sont exposés à du contenu visuel pouvant modifier leurs comportements d’achat en ligne, notamment par la publicité et le contenu partagé par les personnalités publiques. L’objectif de l’étude est de vérifier si l’utilisation d’Instagram ou de TikTok permet de prédire les comportements d’achat en ligne. Via un questionnaire en ligne, 406 utilisateurs d’Instagram ou de TikTok, majoritairement de sexe féminin (83,3%), étudiants (75,1%) et tous âgés de 18 ans et plus (M = 26,4 ans), ont répondu à des questions concernant leurs habitudes d’utilisation des RS, leurs comportements d’achat en ligne ainsi que leur niveau de matérialisme, d’image de soi, d’anxiété et de dépression.  Les résultats issus de régressions linéaires ne permettent pas de prédire de manière statistiquement significative les comportements d’achat en ligne. L’hypothèse de l’étude voulant que l’utilisation des RS puisse prédire les comportements d’achat en ligne n’est donc pas confirmée. Les modèles de régressions linéaires indiquent que les covariables de matérialisme, de revenu, d’image de soi et d’anxiété prédisent de manière statistiquement significative (p < 0,05) les comportements d’achat en ligne, malgré le peu de variance expliquée dans chaque modèle (R2 < 0,05). Ces résultats peuvent s’expliquer par la présence d’une relation plus complexe entre l’utilisation des RS et les comportements d’achat en ligne. Certaines variables externes aux modèles pourraient mieux expliquer le lien entre RS et comportements d’achat en ligne.
