Nouvelle rhétorique et formation du citoyen : perspectives sur l’enseignement du discours à partir d’une université d’été
Authors: Donckier de Donceel Lucie , Sevestre-Giraud Benjamin
Published: April 2023

Il est maintenant clairement établi que le modèle rhétorique fournit une réponse pertinente aux questionnements sur les méthodes et sur les contenus d’une formation à la citoyenneté en démocratie. En Europe toutefois, ce modèle rencontre encore des difficultés pour être reconnu comme une formation au discours légitime. À partir de l’expérience d’une université d’été intitulée « Citoyenneté européenne et argumentation rhétorique : le cas du changement climatique », nous répondons aux principales critiques adressées au modèle rhétorique et montrons comment il peut être utilisé, aujourd’hui, pour développer l’esprit critique et les compétences citoyennes.
Défense et illustration de l’argumentation des valeurs : réflexions à partir des travaux de Jean-Claude Guerrini
Authors: Koren Roselyne
Published: April 2023

Cette « réflexion critique » examine la façon dont les deux ouvrages de Jean-Claude Guerrini (2019 et 2022) Les valeurs dans l’argumentation L’héritage de Chaïm Perelman et Conflits de valeurs et Corrida Une étude argumentative de la controverse traitent de l’argumentation des valeurs et de sa mise en mots. Elle souligne l’intérêt d’une recherche qui offre de multiples données et illustrations permettant d’analyser la dimension axiologique des pratiques discursives et argumentatives. En même temps, l’auteure confronte l’approche de Guerrini à sa propre éthique des valeurs pour montrer comment deux théories peuvent appréhender différemment un sujet encore trop négligé dont toutes deux soulignent la centralité : le rôle des valeurs dans l’argumentation.
L’ethos de l’enfant et ses conséquences sur la notion d’auditoire universel : les discours écologistes à l’ONU de Severn Cullis-Suzuki (1992) et de Greta Thunberg (2019)
Authors: Chonavey Sébastien
Published: April 2023

Dans cet article, nous effectuons une analyse rhétorique des discours de Severn Cullis-Suzuki (1992) et de Greta Thunberg (2019). Notre attention s’y est focalisée sur la question du genre rhétorique et de la preuve par l’ethos. Nous défendons l’hypothèse selon laquelle la construction de l’ethos de ces deux oratrices de générations différentes témoigne d’un changement de conception de la notion perelmanienne d’auditoire universel.
Does Board Gender Diversity Influence Firm Debt Maturity?
Authors: Matias Fernanda Inácio , Rebelo Sandra Cristina , Baptista Celísia Isabel , Andraz Georgette dos Santos
Published: April 2023

This chapter examines the effect of board gender diversity on corporate debt maturity It analyses a gender-based behavioral dimension for corporate debt maturity choice. The study finds that firms with a larger female representation on the board of directors and managers tend to have a larger proportion of short-maturity debt. The evidence also shows that when a woman holds the position of chair of the board and simultaneously is a shareholder, the chance for issuing a short-term debt is higher. These findings meet the argument that boards with female directors and leaders are more likely to issue short-term debt. This method of financing decision can be considered as a corporate governance device with potential impact on reducing managerial opportunism.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to examine how the emancipatory power of accounting enables ruptures of hegemonies in the context of entrepreneurial women in the Amazon. The research applied the personal testimony method with the participation of four entrepreneurial women with an accounting background. The data were collected through interviews. The results show that entrepreneurial women in the Amazon faced work environments with prejudice, devaluation, discredited capacity, and harassment. However, this scenario has been undergoing changes brought about by female entrepreneurship and, above all, accounting. The evidence indicates that the emancipatory power of accounting can provide a break with socially produced hegemonies, enabling the personal, professional, and financial independence of the women. Thus, the contribution of this study lies in the verification of the use of accounting to deconstruct prejudiced and chauvinistic social structures, reflecting positively on society and organizations.

Published: April 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic brought about a major economic breakdown throughout the world due to the shutting down of businesses and organizations. Covid –19 took a toll on India also, the second-most populous country. In India, family-run businesses are the deep-rooted, oldest, and most widespread form of business ownership. Most family businesses, while keeping the welfare of their customers, employees, and communities in mind, have resorted to remote work and halting non-essential work. The government of India took measures mainly consisting of an increased moratorium period, corporate tax cuts, lower interest on delayed tax payments, extension in return filing deadline, and other policy decisions. This study discusses the impact of Covid-19 on family businesses and how family businesses cope with the shock to the system. In addition, it covers innovative and strategic solutions adopted by the family businesses as a shield to their business against the impact of the crisis and to grow progressively overcoming the pandemic situation.
Opportunities and Challenges of Circular Economy for Designing Sustainable Supply Chains
Authors: Baporikar Neeta
Published: April 2023

Circular economy (CE) is not a new concept. It dates the back to late 1970s and has been shaped by a number of schools such as “regenerative design,” “industrial ecology,” and “cradle to cradle.” It is assumed that without circularity in the use of limited resources sustainable development cannot exist. In short, CE is about keeping resources and their value in the economy and avoiding them becoming waste. This requires actions ranging from upstream product innovation to downstream waste and recycling infrastructure, as well as engagement by governments, businesses, and citizens. This is made possible by designing sustainable supply chains. Hence, adopting a systematic literature review approach with grounded theory, the aim of this chapter is to understand circular economies and supply chain management intersection, and thereby identify the likely opportunities and challenges in the circular economy for designing sustainable supply chains.
Agri-Food Supply Chains from Circular Economy Perspective
Authors: Deekonda Shalini
Published: April 2023

The world's food production is four billion metric tons per year, of which 1.3 billion tons get wasted. As the world population reaches 9.8 billion in 2050, the world food demand will be around 14,886 million tons. Around 800 million people are going hungry every day, and another 2 billion people will join by 2050. The problem is not inadequate production but inefficient food handling and excess wastage. The traditional agriculture systems of production and consumption have several social, economic, and environmental implications. Without proper measures, it is doubtful to mitigate hunger even with surplus production. Therefore, adopting circular agri-food supply chains is a viable option to reduce and reuse food waste to develop a sustainable model.
Sustainability Online?

Published: April 2023

The concept of ESD is innovative, aiming to catalyse changes in the way we learn; in this context, new teaching/learning approaches and ESD pedagogies have been widely discussed in the literature. Digital media may also change the learning process if different actors including students are involved in co-creating learning content. The question raised in this chapter is whether these changes in the “metabolism” of information could contribute to the transformations foreseen by ESD, and how. The authors focus on open educational resources (OER) used in higher education, specifically wiki systems, and explore mutual relationships/hierarchies of actors involved in its development. In a case study, they discuss whether competences to collaboratively develop OER may support ESD competences, what the opportunities/limitations of this synergy are, and offer a framework to reflect academic writing processes from sustainability point of view.

Published: April 2023

We have successfully constructed a Kerr lens mode-locked (KLM) Ti:sapphire oscillator to generate ultrashort pulses of ~18 fs. The oscillator consists of only 5 elements including a pair of double-chirped mirrors to balance negative group delay dispersion in the cavity. The bandwidth of the mode-locked laser oscillator spectrum is from 600 nm to 950 nm and pulse energy is 1.5 nJ. Both the output spectrum and the output power were stable against environmental disturbance. For the pulse characterization, a second harmonic generation frequency resolved optical gating method was used.

Authors: Yusuf Tunde Abdulkadir , Ukaegbu Joel , Amao Folake
Published: April 2023

This paper examined the three-dimensional stretched flow, heat, and mass transports analysis of Prandtl fluid with the influences of chemical reactions, over a Riga surface. This analysis is investigated in presence of Catteneo-Cristov heat and mass fluxes. The resulting nonlinear models are simplified by appropriate similarity variables. The solutions of the reduced set of coupled equations are obtained numerically via the Chebyshev spectral collocation technique. The obtained numerical results were used to address and discuss the characteristics of flow, heat transfer, mass distribution, skin friction, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers for various pertinent parameters. In addition, the validation of the present numerical scheme is achieved by comparing it with previous results obtained through other numerical results. It is noticed that the rate of heat and mass transfer escalate for the Prandtl parameter. Also, the thermal and mass distributions scale back with a high estimation of relaxation parameters.This paper examined the three-dimensional stretched flow, heat, and mass transports analysis of Prandtl fluid with the influences of chemical reactions, over a Riga surface.

Published: April 2023

The Philippines is hit by different calamities and is considered one of the world's most disaster-prone countries, regularly ranking in the top three countries hit most by natural catastrophes. Foldable shelters provide private and secure living spaces for persons forced to leave or lose their usual housing due to a calamity. This study aimed to design a lightweight steel-framed temporary shelter that can withstand typhoon calamities and follows the design requirements mandated by the National Building Code and National Structural Code of the Philippines. The shelter's design concept emphasized its expandability, allowing it to accommodate one family of 4-5 persons. It also is designed to be deploy easily, safe, and efficient in post-disaster settings. The major factors considered when developing the shelter are the ease of assembly process, a compact and flexible structure, and adaptability to rapidly changing conditions. The structural analysis indicates that it can withstand a typhoon with an average wind speed of 220 kph but will fail in a super typhoon like Haiyan, with an average wind speed of 250 kph. Since this shelter is designed for temporary uses, the maximum wind capacity of 220 kph is acceptable and can be a reasonable basis for using these to replace other shelters.

Published: April 2023

Plastic is now regarded as the third most polluting waste source on a global scale, with its volume rising rapidly as the global population increases. Recycling plastics will help prevent serious environmental threats and add value to plastic waste by incorporating them into various applications, such as construction. Previous research primarily focuses on the investigation of replacing aggregates with plastic wastes in manufacturing concrete. There is a lack of study pertaining to the partial replacement of fine aggregates with plastic waste in producing PPB. In this study, PPB is produced by partially replacing fine aggregates with HDPE and PP plastic wastes. Results show that the 15% HDPE and 15% PP plastic waste replacement of fine aggregates exhibited maximum compressive strength at 11.1 MPa and 9.9 MPa, respectively. The maximum average density recorded was 2678.026 kg/m3, which shows a 23.95% increase compared to the reference block. Additionally, the replacement improved the infiltration rate of PPB, recording a maximum increase of 10% plastic waste replacement. The PPB with 15% HDPE replacement is identified as the optimum mixture and is best utilized in low-traffic areas.

Published: April 2023

We have presented the results of detailed studies of oxygen vacancy and niobium (Nb) substituted spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) materials using first-principles method within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). We have shown that the ground state of oxygen vacancy and Nb substituted LTO is paramagnetic (PM), and the Nb substitution is most stable on the 16d sites of both the Li and Ti ions. We have indicated that the Nb substitution in the 16d site of Li ion become the n-type metallic material. But the oxygen vacancy containing NbT i substituted LTO is changed from the p-type to the n-type, as increased a concentration of Nb ions.
Three-dimensional computer-aided reconstruction of FMRFamide immunopositive neuron distribution in the ventral ganglion of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia, Crustacea)
Authors: Gallus L , Diaspro A , Beltrame F , Fato M , Tagliafierro G
Published: April 2023

We have implemented a simple program to solve three of the problems related to 3D reconstruction (3D-Rec) of soft tissues: alignment of sections, distortions, and estimation of the spatial position of elements of interest inside the tissues. As a model, we chose the distribution of FMRFamide-like immunopositive neurons in the ventral ganglion of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite collected during different seasonal periods. Images of immunostained sections were acquired by means of a CCDcamera- equipped microscope and a PC and the reference points were taken inside the sections. The FMRFamide-like immunopositive neurons detected in the barnacle ventral ganglion were grouped into four different classes according to size, shape and staining intensity. More numerous FMRFamide- like immunopositive neurons were detected in the autumn-collected barnacle than in the summer counterpart. The two 3D reconstructions obtained from transverse and longitudinal ventral ganglion sections were efficaciously compared after 90° rotation of one of them. Comparison of these two 3D-Rec suggests the presence of at least two groups of FMRFamide-like immunopositive neurons that are seasonally-related and probably involved in reproduction.

Published: April 2023

Purpose Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) had been increasingly recognized as a favorable alternative to surgical resection in patients with high risk for surgery. This study compared survival outcomes between sublobar resection (SLR) and SBRT for clinical stage I non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Materials and Methods Data were obtained from the Korean Association of Lung Cancer Registry, a sampled nationwide database. This study retrospectively reviewed 382 patients with clinical stage I NSCLC who underwent curative SLR or SBRT from 2014 to 2016.Results Of the patients, 43 and 339 underwent SBRT and SLR, respectively. Patients in the SBRT group were older and had worse pulmonary function. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was significantly better in the SLR group compared with the SBRT group (86.6% vs. 57%, log-rank p < 0.001). However, after adjusting for age, sex, tumor size, pulmonary function, histology, smoking history, and adjuvant therapy, treatment modality was not an independent prognostic factor for survival (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.43 to 2.77; p=0.974). We performed subgroup analysis in the following high-risk populations: patients who were older than 75 years; patients who were older than 70 years and had diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide ≤ 80%. In each subgroup, there were no differences in OS and recurrence-free survival between patients who underwent SLR and those who received SBRT.Conclusion In our study, there were no significant differences in terms of survival or recurrence between SBRT and SLR in medically compromised stage I NSCLC patients. Our findings suggest that SBRT could be considered as a potential treatment option for selected patients.
Pernicious Plasmodium vivax as a Historical Cause of Malarial Cachexia?
Authors: Shanks G. Dennis
Published: April 2023

Prior to the understanding of malaria as a parasitic disease, malaria cachexia was a loosely defined syndrome consisting of severe anemia and splenomegaly in a chronically wasted individual living in a malarious area. Entire rural populations in diverse areas such as the Thames estuary, Marseilles marshes, and the Mississippi valley were said to have cachexia on the basis of chronic malaria “poisoning,” which accounted for their poor socioeconomic health. Malaria cachexia appeared to disappear as the marshes were drained, agriculture improved, and quinine or iron treatments were administered. Malaria cachexia’s association with plasmodia in the blood was uncertain once blood smears were examined in the twentieth century. Modern studies have raised the question of chronic Plasmodium vivax in the spleen as a possible etiology; historical specimens could be examined to clarify malaria cachexia.
Patologías broncopulmonares asociadas a la exposición laboral a Fibras Minerales Artificiales: revisión sistemática
Authors: Conde Fuentes Ana , González-Cáceres Ana Mª , Lonighi-García Sherry Sue , Rocha-Vargas Richard , Vacallanos de Almeida Abril Isabella
Published: April 2023

Introducción: las fibras minerales artificiales (FMA) representan un grupo de fibras manufacturadas utilizadas principalmente para aislamiento térmico y acústico y de forma general en el ámbito de la construcción. Debido a que tienen una estructura similar a la fibra de amianto, se tiende a pensar que también pueden desarrollar patologías pulmonares como el cáncer, resultando de interés estudiar la exposición laboral a estas fibras y sus posibles consecuencias en la salud del trabajador.
Método: revisión sistemática de la literatura científica mediante la búsqueda bibliográfica en MEDLINE a través de PUBMED, SCOPUS, EMBASE, WOS, Cochrane Library Plus, IBECS, LILACS y CISDOC. Se han recuperado artículos publicados en los últimos 10 años (2.008 al 2.018).
Resultados: se obtuvieron 137 referencias de las que tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión se recuperaron 8 artículos. Según el diseño del estudio contamos con 2 estudios de cohortes, 5 casos y controles y 1 transversal. En algunos estudios se encontró una asociación positiva pero no estadísticamente significativa entre la exposición laboral y el desarrollo de patología pulmonar.
Conclusiones: aún no se dispone de suficiente evidencia científica que apoye una relación directa entre la exposición laboral a fibras minerales artificiales y sus implicaciones en el desarrollo de patología broncopulmonar, por lo tanto, se hace necesario realizar más estudios a largo plazo que aporten evidencia sobre este tema, en vista de la gran cantidad de trabajadores expuestos a estas fibras.
Determinants Of Hajj Saving Intention At Bank Syariah Indonesia
Authors: Amalia Riska , Setyono Joko
Published: April 2023

This study uses religiosity as a moderating variable to analyze the influence of attitudes, subjective norms, perceptions of behavioral control, and financial literacy on the intention to save for the pilgrimage. The research population is the Muslim community on the island of Java. The distribution of questionnaires resulted in 173 respondents by convenience sampling and 157 respondents through purposive sampling. The data analysis technique uses the structural equation model partial least squares (SEM-PLS) with Smart PLS 3.0 software tools. The study results show that attitudes, subjective norms, and financial literacy significantly affect intention, while the perception of behavioral control and religiosity have no effect on intention. Indirectly religiosity cannot strengthen the relationship between the independent variables on the intention to save for the pilgrimage. This research can be used as input in making decisions for Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), where factors that have a significant influence can be used as a reference in deciding to increase the intention to save a prospective customer's pilgrimage.
The Invisible Universe

Published: April 2023

With our own eyes we can see the night sky of the stars, planets and the Milky Way, the arena of pre-telescopic astronomy. Modern optical telescopes have opened up the universe of galaxies and we are familiar with the superb images of the Hubble Space Telescope. But with the invisible wavelengths of radio, infrared and X-ray, a very different universe comes into view. The astronomy of the invisible wavelengths was inaugurated by William Herschel in 1800 but developed very slowly over the next 160 years. The past fifty years have seen an explosion in our understanding of this strange world.

An Examination of the Images of the Sun and the Moon in the Visoki Dečani Monastery in Kosovo
Authors: Van de moortel-Ilić Dragana
Published: April 2023

This paper investigates the celestial-religious images in the Visoki Dečani monastery in Kosovo, particularly the tear-shaped paintings with human figures inside located on the left and right side of The Crucifixion of Christ fresco. The aim of this research is to put these images into a cultural and contemporary cosmological context. The images in the fresco that contain human figures have been the subject of controversy in the second part of the last century. A highly speculative popular view was put forward, that the images portrayed extraterrestrials in UFOs. Yet these images have been mostly ignored in academic circles. In this research the images from The Crucifixion fresco were compared with similar frescoes from other Serbian medieval churches and with the philosophical thought of the time. The methodology used was, first, a personal visit and observation of the images, including photos taken by a professional photographer. A comparison of those findings was then made with what had been written about those images in the academic literature. The conclusion is that they present personifications of the Sun and the Moon which could be explained by the synergy of Hellenistic and Christian thought.

A MOUNTAIN CULTURE IN JEOPARDY: AN ANALYSIS OF A FAULTY FOREST POLICY WHICH IS AFFECTING THE CULTURE AND BIODIVERSITY OF A TRIBAL POPULATION IN WESTERN HIMALAYAS
Authors: Aiman Raza Dr. Syed
Published: April 2023

Traditional mountain societies are characterised by their symbiotic relationship with nature. Living in harsh environments people have to rely on natural resources and on an array of practices which they have devised through trial and error during their inhabitancy through ages. Their holistic view of their ecosystem results in diversified and dynamic strategies that are well adapted to their natural environment. The emphasis is on diversification rather than homogenisation of landscape. But situation can reverse in the years to come and we can see a major upheaval in environment, transformation in the cultural milieu and economy thus leading to an unsustainable mode of life. The major cause of environmental degradation today is the unsustainable forest policy of the Himachal government which needs the attention of policy makers, if they want sustainable livelihoods for future generations. The paper analyses the faulty forest policy which is affecting the biodiversity and the culture of the Kinnaurese and reflects on why change is needed to transform the faulty policies not only in Himachal Pradesh but throughout the country.

Introduction: A community-based exercise was implemented with the specific theme “Awareness raising among Family Welfare Program and Youth Organization group members of the importance of Family Nutrition Literacy and of nutrition education and mastication improvement through provision of removable dentures” in Ketapang sub-district, Kademangan district, Probolinggo. Aim: This community-based service was intended to inform the public of the importance of nutritional consumption to ensure a well-nourished family and enhanced mastication resulting from the use of removable dentures. This event was held in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Two teams managing innovative and promotion were created. The role of the former was to conceptualize activities, while that of the latter was to directly inform the target community using a combination of printed and electronic media. These teams consisted of lecturers and 2nd year residents of the Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Airlangga. Results: The event involved the use of video conferencing through which residents delivered online counselling session to Family Welfare Program, Youth Organization group, and health cadre mem-bers who had already gathered at Ketapang Health Center, while maintaining physical distancing. Several residents worked on site alongside health cadres from the Ketapang Health Center. Given the ongoing pandemic, the teams decided to donate certain props: four full dentures, four removable partial dentures and four fixed partial dentures. Conclusion: Online counseling of the Ketapang Health Center cadres was expected to increase their awareness and comprehension of nutrition education and improvement in the mastication function of dentures through the use of teaching aids.

Published: April 2023

Postoperative hemimaxillectomy defects cause the patient to develop conditions such as nasal discharge (hypernasal speech), leakage of fluid in the nasal cavity, and deterioration of masticatory function. Thus, comprehensive rehabilitation is required to improve mastication, speech function and normal orofacial appearance. Successful prosthetic rehabilitation of postoperative hemimaxillectomy defect is a challenging procedure that requires multidisciplina- ry expertise to achieve acceptable esthetics, functional speech and swallowing outcomes. This case report describes clinical steps and laboratory procedures involved in prosthetic rehabilitation of an Aramany Class IV hemimaxillectomy patient with framework obturator.

Loss of eye have physiologic and social impact on patients, especially in pediatric patients. To overcome this problem ocular prosthesis can be made similar with the color, shape, size and movement of the patient’s eye, so the ocular prosthesis can look like natural eye. The various methods, techniques and concepts documented in this case re-port with modifications to the physiologic impression and making of iris buttons aim to get the better movement of the prosthesis and 3D profile of the iris. A 6-years-old female patient came to the USU Dental Hospital to fabricate a new eye prosthesis. The patient had a medical history of retinoblastoma at the age of 2 years and had enucleation surgery. The eye is rehabilitated with fabrication of a custom ocular prosthesis with modifications on physiologic im-pression and iris button making. Modifications to physiologic impression and modifications to the fabrication of iris buttons will provide movement, shape and 3D effects of iris that are better than stock eye prosthesis. It is concluded that custom ocular prosthesis with modification on physiologic impression provide a better and more natural move-ment. While modification on making iris button using customized iris button cuvette will facilitate the process of ma-king iris button.

All-ceramic restorations have been widely used in prosthodontics as metal-free restoration because of their esthetics, biocompatibility, and inert properties. However, fracture remains a complication for all-ceramic restorations. All-ce-ramic posterior restorations encounter significant fracture after 5 years of usage than anterior region. Stress distri-tribution in all-ceramic restorations during mastication is higher on cervical margin than other surfaces according to finite element analysis. Shoulder and chamfer finish line are recommended designs for maximum fracture resist-ance of restoration and had influence in stress distribution. Mechanical properties of restoration material such as flex-ural strength, modulus of elasticity (ME), and fracture resistance are important factors that must be considered for its durability. Increasing ME of restoration material will increase strength of fracture. Zirconia usually used because of its superior fracture resistance among other ceramic material (ME±205 GPa). Shoulder is recommended in zir-conia because of greater fracture resistance but other literature suggests chamfer. Lithium disilicate has an improved physical properties and translucency ceramic restoration and is recommended as an alternative treatment (ME±96 GPa). In lithium disilicate, shoulder and chamfer have almost equal fracture resistance. PEEK is a thermoplastic semi-crystalline material with ME near human cortical bone (±3.6 GPa) with shock absorption properties. This litera-ture review role of all-ceramic restoration finish lines design on stress distribution. Shoulder and chamfer still the main choice in FPD but which design is most appropriate still undecided.

No Brasil e no mundo as pessoas sofreram grandes dificuldades devido à crise sanitária proveniente da COVID-19. A contaminação pelo vírus foi algo novo e preocupante o que levou as autoridades a criarem políticas públicas de enfrentamento em diferentes setores, dentre eles a educação. Com o avanço da doença e as medidas de enfrentamento, a educação passou a ser hibrida, visto que o distanciamento social foi flexibilizado. Diante desse contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo geral entender as políticas públicas criadas durante e pós pandemia que oportunizaram a educação hibrida. Como metodologia destacou-se a revisão de literatura, cuja busca bibliográfica foi realizada nas bases de dados Pubmed, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Portal Capes, Lilacs e Google Acadêmico, complementada com uma busca manual nas listas de referências dos trabalhos selecionados.  Concluindo que o ensino híbrido foi relevante para o processo de recuperação da educação, visto que o distanciamento social ainda era necessário e nem todas as pessoas já teriam tido acesso à vacinação.
