Authors: Lim Julian , Leow Zaven , Ong Jason , Pang Ly-Shan , Lim Eric
Published: January 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted psychological health. Mindfulness training, which helps individuals attend to the present moment with a nonjudgmental attitude, improves sleep and reduces stress during regular times. Mindfulness training may also be relevant to the mitigation of harmful health consequences during acute crises. However, certain restrictions may necessitate the web-based delivery of mindfulness training (ie, rather than in-person group training settings).

Objective

The objective of our study was to examine the effects of mindfulness interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate the effectiveness of web-based interventions.

Methods

Data from an ongoing study were used for this retrospective equivalence analysis. Recruited participants were enrollees from mindfulness courses at a local charity organization that promoted mental wellness. This study had no exclusion criteria. We created three groups; two groups received their training during the COVID-19 pandemic (in-person training group: n=36; videoconferencing group: n=38), and a second control group included participants who were trained before the pandemic (n=86). Our primary outcomes were self-reported stress and sleep quality. Baseline levels and changes in these variables due to mindfulness training were compared among the groups via an analysis of covariance test and two one-tailed t tests.

Results

Baseline perceived stress (P=.50) and sleep quality (P=.22) did not differ significantly among the three groups. Mindfulness training significantly reduced stress in all three groups (P<.001), and this effect was statistically significant when comparing videoconferencing to in-person training (P=.002). Sleep quality improved significantly in the prepandemic training group (P<.001). However, sleep quality did not improve in the groups that received training during the pandemic. Participants reported that they required shorter times to initiate sleep following prepandemic mindfulness training (P<.001), but this was not true for those who received training during the pandemic. Course attendance was high and equivalent across the videoconferencing and comparison groups (P=.02), and participants in the videoconferencing group engaged in marginally more daily practice than the in-person training group.

Conclusions

Web-based mindfulness training via videoconferencing may be a useful intervention for reducing stress during times when traditional, in-person training is not feasible. However, it may not be useful for improving sleep quality.
Program for Healthier School Cafeterias in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: Protocol for a Community-Based Randomized Trial
Authors: Balestrin Mariana , Brasil Carla Cristina Bauermann , Bellei Ericles Andrei , Kirsten Vanessa Ramos , Wagner Mario Bernardes
Published: January 2021

Background

School cafeterias can promote poor eating habits, as these retail outlets have a variety of foods considered to be nonnutritive and unhealthy. However, despite the need for effective preventive strategies, there is still disagreement on the best approach due to the lack of evidence on interventions to prevent and treat obesity in the school settings.

Objective

We aim to verify the efficacy of an educational intervention program to improve the hygienic conditions and the composition of the menu offered in school cafeterias in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Methods

We will conduct a randomized, parallel, two-arm, community-based controlled study. Elementary and high schools, both public and private, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, that have a cafeteria will be eligible. Schools will be recruited and randomly assigned to the intervention (n=27) or control (n=27) group. The intervention group will receive an educational intervention program based on the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health of Brazil, consisting of a 160-hour distance-learning qualification course, for 10 weeks, and using the Moodle platform and WhatsApp app. The intervention targets the owners and people in charge of the cafeterias, food handlers, principals, vice principals, teachers, pedagogical coordinators, dietitians, representatives of students' parents, and students over 16 years old. Meanwhile, the control group will receive only a printed copy of the book containing the guidelines used. The efficacy of the intervention will be determined by the hygienic conditions of the cafeteria and the composition of the menu offered, also considering the levels of processing of food sold. All outcomes will be analyzed as intention-to-treat and per-protocol. We will use covariance analysis or a generalized linear model for continuous data and ordinal logistic regression for ordinal categorical data. The level of statistical significance considered will be P<.05 for a 95% CI.

Results

This project was funded in early 2018. We administered the intervention program in 2019. All data have already been collected, and we are analyzing the data. The results are expected in 2021.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, this may be the first randomized controlled study in school cafeterias held in Brazil. The results will provide evidence for the formulation of public food and nutritional security policies and for the development of effective strategies to provide safe and healthy school meals.

The Efficacy of WeChat-Based Parenting Training on the Psychological Well-being of Mothers With Children With Autism During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Liu Guihua , Wang Shuo , Liao Jinhua , Ou Ping , Huang Longsheng , Xie Namei , He Yingshuang , Lin Jinling , He Hong-Gu , Hu Rongfang
Published: January 2021

Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic, special education schools for children in most areas of China were closed between the end of January and the beginning of June in 2020. The sudden interruption in schooling and the pandemic itself caused parents to be anxious and even to panic. Mobile-based parenting skills education has been demonstrated to be an effective method for improving the psychological well-being of mothers with children with autism. However, whether it can improve the psychological states of mothers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is a subject that should be urgently investigated.

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of WeChat-based parenting training on anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and hope in mothers with children with autism, as well as the feasibility of the program during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

This was a quasi-experimental trial. A total of 125 mothers with preschool children with autism were recruited in January 2020. The participants were assigned to the control group (n=60), in which they received routine care, or the intervention group (n=65), in which they received the 12-week WeChat-based parenting training plus routine care, according to their preferences. Anxiety, depression, parenting stress, hope, satisfaction, and adherence to the intervention were measured at three timepoints: baseline (T0), postintervention (T1), and a 20-week follow-up (T2).

Results

In total, 109 mothers completed the T1 assessment and 104 mothers completed the T2 assessment. The results of the linear mixed model analysis showed statistically significant group × time interaction effects for the intervention on anxiety (F=14.219, P<.001), depression (F=26.563, P<.001), parenting stress (F=68.572, P<.001), and hope (F=197.608, P<.001). Of all mothers in the intervention group, 90.4% (48.8/54) reported that they were extremely satisfied with the WeChat-based parenting training. In total, 40.0% (26/65) logged their progress in home training each week and 61.5% (40/65) logged their progress more than 80% of the time for all 20 weeks.

Conclusions

The WeChat-based parenting training is acceptable and appears to be an effective approach for reducing anxiety, depression, and parenting stress, as well as increasing hope in mothers with children with autism during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies with rigorous designs and longer follow-up periods are needed to further detect the effectiveness of the WeChat-based parenting training.

Suitability of Video Consultations During the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown: Cross-sectional Survey Among Norwegian General Practitioners
Authors: Johnsen Tor Magne , Norberg Børge Lønnebakke , Kristiansen Eli , Zanaboni Paolo , Austad Bjarne , Krogh Frode Helgetun , Getz Linn
Published: January 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed an acute, sharp rise in the use of video consultations (VCs) by general practitioners (GPs) in Norway.

Objective

This study aims to document GPs’ experiences with the large-scale uptake of VCs in the natural experiment context of the pandemic.

Methods

A nationwide, cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Norwegian GPs during the pandemic lockdown (April 14-May 3, 2020). Each respondent was asked to evaluate up to 10 VCs. Basic demographic characteristics of the GPs and their practices were collected. The associations between GPs’ perceived suitability of the VCs, the nature of the patients’ main problems, prior knowledge of the patients (relational continuity), and follow-up of previously presented problems (episodic continuity) were explored using descriptive statistics, diagrams, and chi-square tests.

Results

In total, 1237 GPs (26% of the target group) responded to the survey. Among these, 1000 GPs offered VCs, and 855 GPs evaluated a total of 3484 VCs. Most GPs who offered VCs (1000/1237; 81%) had no experience with VCs before the pandemic. Overall, 51% (1766/3476) of the evaluated VCs were considered to have similar or even better suitability to assess the main reason for contact, compared to face-to-face consultations. In the presence of relational continuity, VCs were considered equal to or better than face-to-face consultations in 57% (1011/1785) of cases, as opposed to 32% (87/274) when the patient was unknown. The suitability rate for follow-up consultations (episodic continuity) was 61% (1165/1919), compared to 35% (544/1556) for new patient problems. Suitability varied considerably across clinical contact reasons. VCs were found most suitable for anxiety and life stress, depression, and administrative purposes, as well as for longstanding or complex problems that normally require multiple follow-up consultations. The GPs estimate that they will conduct about 20% of their consultations by video in a future, nonpandemic setting.

Conclusions

Our study of VCs performed in general practice during the pandemic lockdown indicates a clear future role for VCs in nonpandemic settings. The strong and consistent association between continuity of care and GPs’ perceptions of the suitability of VCs is a new and important finding with considerable relevance for future primary health care planning.
Evaluation of the Impact of Short Duration Music Listening on Autonomic State (Preprint)
Authors: Elvin Garry , Patel Paras , Sice Petia , Riachy Chirine , Osborne Nigel , Bentley Edward
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Heart rate variability (HRV), or the variation in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats, is a proven measure for assessing changes in autonomic activity. An increase in variability suggests an upregulation of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Music was shown to have an effect on the limbic system, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. However, there have been relatively few empirical investigations on the effect of music on HRV compared to mean heart rate (HR). Also, the majority of studies have been experimental rather than interventional, reporting significant changes in HRV as a function of musical characteristics, such as tempo, genre, and valence.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the impact of short duration music listening on the autonomic nervous system response of healthy adults.

METHODS

Six participants (three males and three females) were tested to investigate the effect of listening to music on HR and HRV. Electrocardiographic (ECG) data was recorded at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz using an eMotion Faros 360 device produced by Bittium Biosignals. The data was collected while the participants listened to four pre-selected songs in a random order separated by a relaxation period of 5 minutes. Data was then cleaned and processed through Kubious HRV 2.0 software. Statistical analysis using Wilcoxon signed rank test was carried out for the time and frequency domains.

RESULTS

For all but one song that is shorter than 3 minutes (song 1), we observed a statistically significant increase in Standard Deviation of the RR intervals (SDRR) (song 1: P=.125, r=.333; song 2: P=.023, r=.575; song 3: P=.014, r=.635; song 4: P=.014, r=.635) and in the Low Frequency (LF) component of the cardiac spectrogram (song 1: P=.300, r=.151; song 2: P=.038, r=.514; song 3: P=.014, r=.635; song 4: P=.014, r=.635) with a large effect size r, indicating increased HRV. No significant change in mean HR was observed (song 1: P=.173 r=-.272; song 2: P=.058, r=-.454; song 3: P=.125, r=-.333; song 4: P=.232. r=-.212).

CONCLUSIONS

Listening to pre-selected songs of longer duration than 3 minutes 30 seconds is associated with significant increases in HRV measures, especially SDRR and LF. Music thus has the potential to overcome autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation and thereby benefit health and wellbeing.
Solithromycin as A Potential Novel Antibiotic Against Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Resistance
Authors: Habiburrahman Muhammad , Soetikno Vivian  , Sirait Wani Riselia , Savira Missy
Published: January 2021

Gonorrhea is one of the most often sexually transmitted infection in the world. In 2016, WHO stated the Southeast Asia region as the fourth-highest incidence rate and prevalence of gonorrhea. One of the current problems with gonorrhea is related to its emerging resistance to first-line drugs such as cephalosporins, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones. This resistance has an impact on the difficulty of finding effective antibiotics to eradicate the infection, thus risking financial loss and infertility in sexually active age patients. This literature review will discuss solithromycin, the first fluoroketolide in phase III clinical trial, and show its potential as a new antibiotic against infection with resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Literatures are searched using Pubmed and Google Scholar search engines with keywords: antibiotics, CEM-101, clinical trial, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, new treatment, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, resistance, safety, and solithromycin. This semisynthetic antibiotic is supported by a different chemical structure from previous macrolides; improving solithromycin becomes more stable and able to bind easier with bacterial ribosomes. Pharmacologically, solithromycin provides an advantage in its high bioavailability, easy oral administration route, wide distribution, metabolism mainly in the liver, but not required dosage adjustments due to hepatic impairment, and a single dosage preparation that can increase patient compliance in healing gonorrhea infections. Also, its lower MIC50 than previous antibiotics makes it well-tolerated, therefore making this antibiotic as a potential recommendation for the management of multi-drug resistant gonorrhea in the future. Solithromycin is not inferior to the standard therapy (ceftriaxone and azithromycin), with 80% vs. 84% gonorrhea eradication rates. Per the anatomic site, the eradication rate is 92% in genital, 94% in the pharynx, and 83% in the rectum. However, special attention needs to be paid to the side effects of the gastrointestinal tract of solithromycin, as observed in phase III clinical trials at a dose of 1000 mg in the form of diarrhea (24%) and nausea (21%).
An Efficient Directly Conversion of the Ethyl p-Methoxycinnamate into N,N-dimethyl-p-Methoxycinnamamide and study the structure-activity relationship on anti-inflammatory activity

Published: January 2021

Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMC) (1) is a major natural ester found in the rhizome of Kaempferia galanga and has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity. Some of the structural modification of this compound has been carried out in order to study the structure-activity relationship on its anti-inflammatory activity. In the present study, we report a new, simple and efficient procedure in the conversion of the ethyl p-methoxycinnamate into N,N-dimethyl-p-methoxycinnamamide (5) and then study the structure-activity relationship on its anti-inflammatory activity. The reaction was carried out through a microwave-assisted direct amidation between (EPMC) (1) with dimethylformamide (DMF) in the basic condition. The mixture was irradiated by using unmodified microwave-oven at 300 W for 1 minute to obtain compound (5) in 88.8% yields. The extensive analysis of the GCMS and NMR data supported that the product of synthesis is N,N-dimethyl-p-methoxycinnamamide (5). Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of compound 5 by using anti-denaturation of heat bovine serum albumin (BSA) assay indicated that N,N-dimethyl-p-methoxycinnamamide (5) still have anti-denaturation activity. Compound 5 has an amide functional group which is more slowly hydrolyzed if compared to 1. Hence, the reaction has successfully produced a more stable compound which still has anti-inflammatory activity

Authors:   Ekaterina S. Balandina  South Ural State University, Balandina Ekaterina S.
Published: January 2021

The article considers representations of color images in linguistic consciousness of Arabic students. The relevance of the chosen topic is proved by the fact that there are different conscious and unconscious associations between individual colors and certain images, despite the relative universality of the color perception by all people. The study of these links greatly contributes to the establishment of friendly intercultural communication among representatives of different countries and cultures. Moreover, the importance of such research is due to the need of fundamental developments in linguistic science related to the problems of perception and reflection of reality and the ways of its fixation and representation in linguistic consciousness. The goal of this article is to identify, fix, and analyze a fragment of the Arabic students' language consciousness, which contains conscious and unconscious knowledge of color images such as green, red, and white. The focus of this study are color images as a part of Arabic students linguistic consciousness...

Published: January 2021

This paper examines prosodic features of Chinese commercial radio advertising in its informationally important and unimportant segments. We also present a brief description of the perceptual study that allowed to identify the syllables that comprise the informational core of the advertisements. The comparative analysis was performed to determine the significance of a number of factors in the distribution of the information load in advertising. Among these factors were: 1) beginning / middle / end of the utterance, 2) fast speech rate / slow speech rate / stability of speech rate, 3) the average speech rate and duration of the advertisement, 4) pauses location before / after / at both sides / the beginning of the utterance / the end of the utterance, 5) presence of repeated elements in advertising, 6) male / female voice. The conclusion is made that the most important factors in the distribution of the information load are duration, position in the utterance, male voice and slowing down the speech rate.
PROSODIC CONVERGENCE AS A RESULT OF SPEAKERS’ INTERACTION IN SPONTANEOUS DIALOGUE
Authors:   Anastasia V. Gorbyleva Moscow State Linguistic University, Gorbyleva Anastasia V.
Published: January 2021

In conversation, speakers become more alike in various dimensions. This phenomenon, commonly called convergence, or entrainment, is widely believed to be crucial to the success and naturalness of human interactions. We investigate three aspects of convergence in prosodic dimensions: automatic entrainment, turn-taking and role relations between speakers. We explore whether speakers coordinate with each other in these dimensions over the conversation globally as well as locally, on a turn-taking basis. The results of the research show that the female speaker had a leading part in the course of the conversation, while the male speaker was a follower. Some prosodic characteristics, such as pitch and syllable duration at the end of the turn, show either individuals' identity in contrast to that of another individual or similar strategies of accommodation. Conversely, the male speaker applied more convergence strategies in the terminal part of the conversation within such prosodic features as mean intensity and duration of pauses marking the transition to a new speaker.

The article focuses on training students' speaking skills thus helping them integrate academically and socially. In the current information and social context, speaking competence and confidence are crucial for professional success, which makes the task of leading students to successful communication especially relevant. Various formats and strategies described in the article have proved to be effective through years of foreign language teaching. Extensive experience gives us enough grounds to argue that combining theory (e. g. Grice's maxims) and practice (helping students structure their speeches, taking part in Public speaking forums, revealing anchoring techniques) results in enhanced communication skills. As these teaching strategies appear to be only rudimentary in the Russian educational landscape, looking into their potential might be really instrumental. The development of the following skills can be seen as particularly beneficial: (i) neurolinguistic programming for capturing and keeping listeners' attention, decoding neurolinguistic mechanisms of other language speakers (including manipulation techniques), (ii) structuring speech in accordance with the international standards, (iii) building a discussion around a current event that has received massive coverage in the media.

Published: January 2021

The present article aims to outline the pragmatic functions of discourse markers viewed as language items structuring discourse. This issue requires thorough research not only from the language theory viewpoint but from linguоdidactic, particularly pragmalinguоdidactic, viewpoint as well. We focus on the pragmatic potential of grammatical discourse markers. These are pragmatic idioms, infinitive constructions and tag questions. The results of the material analysis from the 4English corpora (BNC, COCA, NOW, iWeb) enabled to demonstrate the complex of functions that these grammar patterns perform in the discourse: etiquette, motivation for action, reproach, regret etc., they are also characterized by polifunctionality. In addition to grammatical discourse markers, the issue of functional patterns of lexical discourse markers is addressed. As far as they determine the syntactic pattern of a sentence, they can perform grammatical pragmatic function as well. Their meaning is to express the degree of certainty of the speaker about the information given in the utterance. Intentional training of L2 learners in the use of discourse markers patterns enables to maintain the principles of authentic discourse-based approach to teaching a foreign language.

The relatively new comedy genre stand-up comedy is just beginning to attract the attention of researchers from different areas of linguistics. A comparative linguistic and cultural analysis of selected sketches of the Russian and German stand-up comedians is aimed to establish universal and dissimilar typological features of the genre in two linguistic cultures, identify the reception of national culture of laughter in the genre, manifested in the subject of sketches, as well as compare the use of mechanisms for creating and perceiving verbal humor (incongruity theories, hostility theories and release theories) on the material of 20 selected sketches by P. Volya and M. Mittermeier. It was discovered that certain topics that both comics involved to laugh at were similar (new trends in technical sphere, automobiles, holidays and rest) while others varied (social tension, feminism, male and female relations, financial instability).
ADVERBIAL INTENSIFIERS IN SITUATION WITH EMOTIVE CAUSATIVES
Authors:   Nadezhda P. Siutkina Perm State National Research University, Siutkina Nadezhda P.
Published: January 2021

In this article, the example of a causative situation actualizing the modification of the emotional state is used to consider semantic variants of expressing the meaning of intensification. The study is conducted from the viewpoint of functional grammar, particularly, semantic categories of intensification, causativeness, emotiveness and their intercategorial interaction. The category of intensification reflects the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the phenomenon which may be accompanied by estimated values. As a result, intensification increase serves to increase the expressive power of the utterance. Thus, in situations with emotive causations, we observe an example of intercategorial interaction of several categories: intensification, evaluation, expressiveness. The purpose of the paper is to identify and systematize adverb intensifiers relating to the expressive means of the language and implementing the function of enhanced influence on the addressee. The object of the analysis are aspects of intercategorial interaction. The focus of the current study are adverbial intensifiers in situations with emotive causatives. Methods of contextual analysis, definition and synonyms analysis, generalizing and interpretation are used to classify adverbial intensifiers in situations with emotive causatives. It is concluded that the intercategorical interaction of these categories is a tool for purposeful influence on the addressee of the utterance.

Published: January 2021

The article focuses upon some aspects of the impact of English song names resulting from secondary nomination from the names of narcotic substances on young subjects. A large number and variety of song names of different genres encouraged us to introduce a special term «songonyms». As the research material, the name of the song LSD (performed by the rock band Hawkwind) has been chosen. It is difficult to clearly assume what effect song names have on the listener: whether they call for any actions, or, on the contrary, cause a protest and rejection. Therefore, in this study, it seemed important to verbalize the image of the LSD song name in the linguistic consciousness of young people and to reveal what implications this name carries - calling for actions or protest. By means of free associative experiment, according to the authors, individual meanings inserted by an individual into the song name are "revealed". The experiment has been conducted among 2-4-year students in one of the universities of Chelyabinsk. Through the making up of associative fields, it has been revealed that the song name LSD is perceived by young people not as calling for any actions, but as a protest element of rejection.

Published: January 2021

This paper examines the process of memorizing words that are traditional for psychological science from the point of view of linguistic and sociolinguistic approaches. The focus is on memorizing a word as a linguistic symbol, which is a combination of semantic, phonetic and pragmatic structures. We correlate psychological aspects with linguistic ones, address the problem of interaction between mental and linguistic activities, and the way they are manifested in each other; we also determine what effect the word itself has on memorization, and which parameters become “signals” (conditions) for better memorization. During the analysis of two experiments separated by time, the hypothesis is tested that words that are unusual in terms of linguistic factors, causing coodinative actions aimed at memorizing them, Теоретическая и прикладная лингвистика, 2019, 5 (2), 5‒17 5 are better remembered and reproduced. Unusual words among ordinary ones become signal for the subject, since they do not agree with the already established functional system (“working correlation”) of the nervous structures, as a result of which their primary selection and memorization take place. The conclusion is made about the influence of four main factors on the process of memorizing a word as a linguistic unit, which is a unity of phonetic form, meaning and pragmatic information.
Flexible Nephroscopy: A Step Towards Complete Stone Clearance in PCNL
Authors: Thirugnanasambandam Vasudevan , Kone Kalyanram
Published: January 2021

Objectives

To determine the usefulness of flexible nephroscopy after per-cutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in detecting residual fragments.

Materials and Methods

A prospective study was conducted between January 2018 and December 2019 on patients undergoing standard PCNL using a flexible nephroscope to inspect all the calyces for residual stones. When residual stones were noted, either they were removed by basketing or by performing additional puncture to ensure complete clearance. Patients were followed up for 6 months and at the end of 1 month a plain CT KUB was done to look for residual fragments.

Results

The study cohort included 212 patients. Significant RFs were found in 28 patients during flexible nephroscopy and in two patients at 1 month follow up CT scan. All patients were stone free during 6 months follow up.

Conclusion

Flexible nephroscopy during PCNL decreases the chance of residual fragments and thereby reducing the chance of re-procedure rates.
Singular analysis of stereoscopic serif
Authors: Voronin E.G.
Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to the development of a methodological apparatus for evaluating the influence of geometric survey conditions on the ratio of errors in the planned and altitude components of determining the terrain points’ spatial coordinates. For this purpose, an approach based on the singular analyzing the matrix of the system of equations for intersecting lines in the basis plane is used. It is shown that singular numbers characterize the ellipse of coordinate definition errors in plane and height. They are calculated for the most typical cases of stereo surveying. It is noted that the geometric conditions of stereo photography are mainly determined by the serif angle. By interpolating the results of calculating singular numbers, the formulas characterizing the direct and inverse dependence of the ratio of the stereo-cut in plan and height on the serif angle errors’ are obtained. The author considers the practical issues of using the developed methodological apparatus to justify the solutions related to the assessment of the ratio between the errors in determining the plane coordinates and the heights of terrain points from stereo images.
Integrating Exploitative and Explorative Thinking in Business Process Analysis: A Conceptual Model and Method
Authors: Alves Carina , Monteiro Higor
Published: January 2021

Ambidextrous BPM has gained increasing interest from researchers and practitioners in the last years. It refers to the ability to use exploitative and explorative capabilities in BPM projects. In this paper, we investigate how the integration of exploitative and explorative ideas can leverage the analysis of business processes. The key contributions of this paper are a conceptual model and a method that integrate ambidextrous thinking in a complementary way. Both artefacts were evaluated by means of an expert opinion survey. We also present a case study at an organisation that has implemented our proposed method. We believe that ambidextrous analysis of business processes enables organisations tackling current operational bottlenecks while simultaneously exploring external opportunities for designing innovation in business processes.
Uma relação possível entre os inclassificáveis e a modernidade líquida
Authors: Noronha Alves Talita , Fonsêca de Almeida Gama Juliana
Published: January 2021

Psicanálise e sociologia sempre caminharam juntas, pois compõem partes de um todo que formam as sociedades. Freud cria a psicanálise e as estruturas clinicas como conhecemos hoje. Contudo, apenas com Lacan a psicose foi melhor elucubrada teórica e clinicamente. Depois, com Miller e a “formalização” do termo “psicose ordinária”, em 1998, eis os “inclassificáveis”, que escampam às normatizações freudianas. Na sociologia, Bauman cunha o termo “Modernidade Líquida”, na qual novas formas de manifestação dos sintomas são elaborados, e cuja explicação pode ser ensaiada pela nova multiplicidade de referenciais, diante dos quais os sujeitos se veem convocados a produzir um sinthoma que lhes supra o antigo universal Nome-do-Pai. A partir desta relação, pretende-se discutir quais as relações entre a pós modernidade de Bauman e as novas formas de amarração dos sujeitos, através de revisão bibliográfica das obras de Freud, Lacan e Miller na psicanálise; e de Zygmunt Bauman, na sociologia.

Uma vez revelada a complexidade das experiências biográficas de pessoas em situação de rua, é urgente o aumento do número de estudos que qualifiquem a relação prática entre usuárias/os, políticas públicas e a representação do Estado na execução dos serviços de proteção. Para esta discussão, adicionamos as idiossincrasias sócio-históricas acerca do fenômeno da situação de rua no Brasil e a sua relação com o funcionamento do Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS). No intuito da expansão teórico-prática dessa problemática, este estudo objetivou relatar as experiências de trabalho psicossocial dentro do Estágio Profissional de Psicologia em um serviço de abordagem social no município de Porto Alegre, Brasil. Nossos resultados alocam alguns aspectos estruturais, sócio-históricos e biopolíticos como elementos que interferem na execução ótima dos serviços tipificados pelas políticas públicas, marcando a dissonância entre políticas e suas implementações nos serviços.
Do paradigma ao paradoxo ético-estético-político: por uma radicalização da psicologia social
Authors: Kveller Daniel , Fernandes Daniel Rodrigues , De Castro Diego Drescher , Trepte Renata Flores
Published: January 2021

“Como pode a psicologia social contribuir para pensar o presente?”. Partindo dessa interrogação, este artigo objetiva questionar a obviedade por meio da qual enxergamos uma certa psicologia social, um certo tempo presente e uma certa relação entre ambos. Interessa-nos, sobretudo, problematizar a ideia de um paradigma ético-estético-político, o que realizamos em três movimentos complementares: questionamos a caracterização desse paradigma como uma evolução no campo da psicologia social, relacionamos essa caracterização a uma narrativa de progresso mais ampla sobre a política brasileira recente, e criticamos alguns dos seus pressupostos teóricos-epistemológicos a partir de um diálogo com estudos de gênero, de raça, pós-coloniais e descoloniais. Como conclusão, retornamos à pergunta inicial para sugerir que, antes de examinar o presente, a psicologia social deve se valer deste presente para radicalizar os seus pressupostos, rompendo com a ideia de um paradigma ético-estético-político em favor de um paradoxo ético-estético-político.

“Não vamos obedecer”. O comando do ódio no Brasil de hoje
Authors: Ribas Cristina Thorstenberg
Published: January 2021

O ódio é um gatilho. E ele quer mesmo é separar: classificar, conjurar, controlar, eliminar. Ele cria blocos de bloqueio. O artigo analisa práticas de ódio no Brasil de 2018-2020 procurando “responder” ou pensar o comando do ódio a partir de três perspectivas: a produção cultural anti racista; os feminismos interseccionais e a noção de reprodução social; e a produção do conhecimento situada na universidade. Analisa ainda a linguagem e a criação, a transitividade crítica e a pedagogia “lenta” como forma de alimentar os dissensos necessários para a realização de uma democracia. Compreendendo que não é possível rebater o ódio na sua totalidade, o texto se soma ao enunciado em creole “não vamos obedecer” e propõe a imagem de um emoliente do ódio que possa atuar nos seus desmanchamentos.
Construindo um dispositivo coletivo em oficinas na Saúde Mental
Authors: Campana Rodrigues Ariana , Yasui Silvio
Published: January 2021

Este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência profissional em que se construiu coletivamente um dispositivo denominado “Planilha da Vida Ocupacional” para acompanhar e analisar a produção de trabalho e saúde de portadores de transtornos mentais em oficinas de geração de trabalho e renda do Núcleo de Oficinas e Trabalho. Optou-se pelo percurso metodológico cartográfico para narrar essa experiência. No processo de responder a um questionamento sobre a missão do equipamento de saúde, além de refletir sobre o progresso dos oficineiros, a equipe de profissionais também produziu sentidos para o seu próprio trabalho. São apontados como frutos dessa construção a visibilidade dada ao cuidado ampliado ao oficineiro, a possibilidade de reflexão sobre o próprio trabalho, a perspectiva interdisciplinar de atuação e o amadurecimento da equipe.
Juventud y género en la educación física escolar

Este trabajo presenta reflexiones sobre la enseñanza diaria de Educación Física en un Instituto Federal en el Estado de Río Grande del Sur. Revisamos construcciones teóricas de autores de la Sociología de la Educación, Sociología de la Juventud y Educación Física en la escuela. Los objetivos apuntan a tres aspectos orientadores de nuestro análisis: situar las formas de enseñar a un maestro de Educación Física, con base en cuestiones que involucran los jóvenes y género; describir cómo estos problemas pasan por la enseñanza del maestro; y explicar la interseccionalidad en este proceso. Realizamos una investigación cualitativa con un instrumento metodológico de diario de campo, que contiene observaciones y registros sobre las clases, e informes del profesor. Los resultados indican que el debate sobre transexuales en el deporte con jóvenes estudiantes puede ser importante para romper los prejuicios que suelen sustentar los discursos sobre este tema. Consideramos que existen engendros, aproximaciones e interseccionalidades que implican la participación y envolvimiento de los(as) estudiantes, basados ​​en el (re)conocimiento de los problemas de género en su juventud, así como su identidad, relaciones sociales y epistemológicas con el conocimiento desarrollado en educación Física.
Os homens viviam no círculo de Deus

Published: January 2021

O objetivo do trabalho é refletir sobre a cultura religiosa cristã portuguesa do século XVI. Intencionamos entender seus fundamentos e ideais de propagação pelo Império lusitano do qual o Brasil fez parte. Com base no enfoque cultural queremos entender o papel da religiosidade cristã nas relações estabelecidas entre homens naquele período. Enfatizamos a análise da teologia política do Estado Monárquico regido pelo sistema de Padroado, para entender como a expansão portuguesa esteve atrelada a expansão do Cristianismo. Além disso, apresentamos os vínculos entre a cultura religiosa cristã portuguesa e as origens da História da Educação brasileira, no sentido de compreender as especificidades de formação humana requeridas no período. Do trabalho podemos depreender que o Estado Monárquico português esteve a serviço do cristianismo; a cultura se fundamentava na religiosidade cristã. Eram outros os valores, sentimentos e conceitos que moldavam a vida dos homens.

Published: January 2021

O recreio é um tempo e espaço importante da rotina escolar embora pouco valorizado do ponto de vista pedagógico e educativo. Nesse sentido, é fundamental reconhecer que as experiências vividas pelas crianças nesse ambiente são importantes para sua aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. O que as pesquisas recentes, cuja temática foi o recreio escolar aponta? Portanto, esse estudo teve como objetivo identificar, analisar e apresentar produções científicas brasileiras recentes de estudos sobre o recreio escolar no Ensino Fundamental (anos iniciais). Foi realizado um levantamento das produções brasileiras na base de dados SCIELO e nas reuniões nacionais da Anped. Os dados encontrados foram organizados qualitativamente e analisados à luz do referencial teórico. As produções científicas descritas apresentaram apontaram (de forma direta ou indireta) o recreio escolar como um espaço-tempo importante da vivência lúdica infantil, de forma direta ou indireta. Ressaltam também que o recreio enseja múltiplas aprendizagens à criança mais pouco valorizadas pela escola. A identificação e o exame dessas produções mostrou que há pouca produção científica brasileira recente sobre essa temática, sendo que estas produções evidenciaram, em forma de pesquisa, que ainda há pouca valorização do recreio como contexto educativo para as crianças.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar as concepções e hábitos dos estudantes, bem como, verificar as práticas educacionais abordadas por todos os sujeitos que compõe uma escola pública, sobre o subtema resíduos sólidos. A investigação foi realizada por meio de uma pesquisa-ação. Em um primeiro momento os alunos responderam a um questionário, os dados obtidos foram analisados e após a observação das dificuldades em relação ao conhecimento sobre resíduos sólidos, foi elaborado e executado uma palestra para a construção de um conhecimento, mudanças de hábitos e o enfrentamento da realidade escolar. Ao final os alunos refletiram sobre uma possível problemática no âmbito escolar relacionado ao subtema resíduos sólidos. As análises dos dados obtidos refletem que a maioria dos alunos possui conhecimentos e hábitos errôneos, bem como há a falta de abordagens e práticas educacionais sobre o tema Meio Ambiente e o subtema resíduos sólidos.
EFFECTIVENESS OF GIBBERELLINS IN BREAKING DORMANCY OF SNAKEFRUIT SEEDS (SALACCA SNAKEFRUIT GEARTNER)

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of gibberellins in breaking dormancy to produce high viability snakefruit (Salacca snakefruit Geartner) seeds. The materials used are snakefruit seeds from Tamareja Village, Donggala Regency, sterile sand media, aquades, and GA3 solution. This research was arranged using a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, namely the provision of gibberellin, consisting of five levels of concentration, namely P0 = control (without treatment), P1 = 30 ppm and P2 = 40 ppm P3 = 50 ppm P4 = 60 ppm. each treatment was repeated five times so that there were 25 experimental units. Each experimental unit used 20 seeds. Observation data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey' HSD test if the treatment tested showed a significant effect. The results showed that gibberellin administration effectively broke snakefruit seeds' dormancy and produced seeds with high viability. The higher the gibberellins' concentration would increase germination speed plumule length, radicle length, and faster embryo axis emergence. Gibberellin 60 ppm resulted in germination power 98%, germination rate 20.97 days, plumule length 5.52 cm, radicle length 5.15 cm, and embryo axis emergence 9.2 days.
