Authors: Domingos Eliane Romão de Araújo , Gonçalves Janine de Abreu de Oliveira , De Lima Marsiléia Brasil , Brito Edinalva Farias , Evangelista Silvana Sampaio
Published: February 2025

Este estudo abordou a questão de como as emoções, como aliadas no processo de aprendizagem, podem ser integradas de forma eficaz no ambiente escolar, promovendo o desenvolvimento integral dos alunos. O objetivo geral foi analisar as evidências sobre a integração das emoções no aprendizado, destacando a relevância da educação socioemocional e de estratégias pedagógicas que envolvem sentimentos e emoções na aprendizagem. A pesquisa foi de natureza bibliográfica, baseada em uma revisão crítica de estudos, artigos e livros sobre a relação entre emoções e cognição no contexto educacional. Os resultados apontaram que a integração das emoções ao ensino é essencial para o sucesso acadêmico, pois contribui para a motivação dos alunos, melhora a concentração e reduz comportamentos disruptivos. A análise revelou que programas de educação socioemocional têm mostrado resultados positivos, promovendo habilidades emocionais que facilitam a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento social dos alunos. No entanto, a pesquisa também evidenciou desafios na implementação dessas estratégias, como a falta de formação específica dos professores e a resistência de algumas escolas. As considerações finais indicaram que, embora os resultados tenham sido promissores,  pesquisas são necessárias para ampliar a compreensão sobre as práticas pedagógicas que integram as emoções no ensino. É fundamental investir na formação de educadores e em políticas públicas que promovam uma educação  emocionalmente inteligente e inclusiva.

O presente trabalho, voltou-se à ação dos fungos micorrízicos arbusculares, os quais realizam simbiose com as raízes das plantas ajudando-as a absorverem mais nutrientes. Nesse sentido, este estudo consistiu em uma verificação experimental, em que se buscou avaliar a ação desses fungos na fase produtiva da soja, associando-os a diferentes doses de fósforo, a fim de se descobrir se esta seria uma alternativa viável para a substituição do adubo de base. Essa substituição, acreditava-se, poderia melhorar a produtividade e reduzir os custos da produção desta oleaginosa. Em relação à metodologia, tratou-se de um estudo de campo, experimental, em que se inoculou Rootella BR, que contém fungo micorrízico e se associou a fósforo em distintas dosagens; tendo em vista que o estudo se dividiu em oito tratamentos, com e sem fungos, e com diferentes doses de P2O5. Esse material foi analisado utilizando-se a abordagem quali-quantitativa e o método indutivo. Notou-se como resultado que, de fato, a associação dos fungos micorrízicos arbusculares com o fósforo permitiu um melhor desenvolvimento da planta, em especial de sua nutrição o que permitiu um aumento dessa produtividade. Ainda no que diz respeito aos resultados, percebeu-se que os tratamentos mais exitosos foram aqueles que continham mais fósforo.

As cromossomopatias geradoras das cardiopatias congênitas representam um dos principais desafios para a saúde pública neonatal no Brasil, afetando cerca de 30 mil recém-nascidos anualmente. Dados do DATASUS e do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) indicam uma significativa subnotificação, com apenas 5,3% dos casos estimados oficialmente registrados. A prevalência global de 9 casos por 1.000 nascidos vivos é utilizada como parâmetro para estimar os números nacionais, que apontam para uma carga significativa da doença. Cerca de 40% dos recém-nascidos afetados necessitam de intervenção cirúrgica no primeiro ano de vida, destacando a importância do diagnóstico precoce e do acompanhamento especializado. Este artigo discute os desafios relacionados à coleta de dados, à formulação de políticas públicas e às estratégias para melhorar o cuidado aos pacientes com cromossomopatias no Noroeste Paulista.
PROCESSO DE PRECIFICAÇÃO EM PRODUTOS CERÂMICOS NA REGIÃO CENTRAL DE RONDÔNIA AMAZÔNIA OCIDENTAL /BRASIL
Authors: Filho Ademir Luiz Vidigal
Published: February 2025

Setting prices and pricing strategically make a big difference, as one situation is to react to market conditions and another is to manage them proactively.  Determining pricing is a tactical decision, while strategic pricing is the coordination of interrelated marketing, competitive, and financial decisions maximizing the process. A field research was carried out with 20 (twenty) ceramics, with the objective of understanding the policies, strategies, tactics and costs in the pricing of products from the central region of Rondônia – Western Amazon/Brazil. The methodology adopted was a descriptive and exploratory research, using non-participant observation, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, where semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used as data collection instruments. It was identified that the strategies and tactics in ceramics are aimed at granting discounts and reducing the price; they do not have a product positioning policy; price based on competition; have difficulties in controlling costs; they disregard depreciation. Another problem to be considered is that 95% of ceramics have outsourced accounting, which is justified by the low price of the service provided, which evidences the reduced use of internal management accounting. For 80% of the ceramics that participate in the meetings, there is a disparity between the contribution that these meetings bring to the pricing process, there is no uniformity in the prices charged, there is competition for market share and according to the description of the potters themselves, 75% classify themselves as market followers. There is little use of the break-even point for decision-making on product pricing.

Exploring the Evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi and the Emergence of Chagas Disease in the Context of Environmental Change
Authors: Barbera Aida R. , Brooks Daniel R. , Fink T. Michael , Reinhard Karl J.
Published: February 2025

The Stockholm Paradigm is an evolutionary synthesis that explains the emergence of novel pathogens in the context of environmental disturbances. Considering the urgent climate change situation, anticipation stands as key to prevent and mitigate the effects that climate change can have in the emergence of pathogens. However, the success of preventive measures is hindered by a limited knowledge of the interplaying dynamics between biology, environment, and culture leading to emerging infectious diseases. For many decades, bioarcheologists have been gathering data on past human–environment interactions, therefore contributing to the conversation. Archaeoparasitology, at the intersection between pathology, bioarchaeology, and biology, is uniquely placed to enquire about the circumstances that favored the emergence of novel pathogens in the past. We illustrate this task by reviewing the existing knowledge on the evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi and emergence of Chagas disease. When the scholarship on Chagas is completed with the lessons learned from the Stockholm Paradigm, this provides a long-term perspective on environmental change and human relations leading to the emergence of an infectious disease.

Authoritarian Federalism in its own right? The case of Brazil
Authors: Herbert Thilo
Published: February 2025

With the establishment of the military regime in Brazil in April 1964, the military achieved its long-standing objective of exerting lasting influence as a key political actor. Despite its commitment to “restore the rule of law” and fortify democratic institutions, the regime's use of Institutional Acts bypassed constitutional checks and judicial review. These Acts, evolving over time, reflected the evolution of authoritarian governance through extra-constitutional means. Despite occasional adherence to constitutional norms, the military’s consolidation of power ultimately led to the establishment of a full-fledged military dictatorship, culminating in the Institutional Act No. 5, which effectively created an authoritarian constitution on its own. The federal structure of the country, however, persisted. Although it underwent continuous constraints imposed by the regime, it not only continued to coexist alongside this system of authoritarian constitutionalism. Through a delicate system involving the central government, ruling party and opposition party, governors, and state elites, it also ultimately aided the regime in strengthening its authority. This article attempts to analyze this system. It reveals a nuanced dynamic wherein the military regime initially attempted to centralize authority by diminishing the influence of state elites through “technocratic” appointments. However, facing resistance and electoral setbacks, the regime adapted its strategy, ultimately reintegrating state elites into the political apparatus. Through clientelist practices and constitutional reforms, the regime forged alliances with local power brokers, consolidating its grip on power while preserving a façade of democratic legitimacy. The study underscores the intricate relationship between formal constitutional structures and informal power dynamics, illustrating how federalism became both a tool and a constraint in the military's authoritarian project.
Constitutional Entrenchment and Social Policy in Brazil
Authors: Maués Antonio Moreira
Published: February 2025

The 1988 Constitution promoted the expansion of social policy in Brazil, but other constitutional rules on fiscal policy limited the sources and funding of social spending. This paper discusses how the original text of the Constitution and its successive constitutional amendments entrenched both social and fiscal policy in Brazil, turning distributive conflicts into constitutional disputes over public resources. It also discusses how this constitutional regulation has constrained the policy options of different administrations regarding social spending. The paper concludes that these policies’ strategic entrenchment produced an anti-poverty Constitution that falls short of a significant reduction of inequality in Brazil, shedding light on the limits of transformative constitutionalism in highly unequal societies.
Coalition Building in the Anti-Death Penalty Movement
Authors: Joy Sandra
Published: February 2025

While a great deal of research has been done about many aspects of the death penalty, very little attention has been paid to the movement organized against it. Coalition Building in the Anti-Death Penalty Movement fills that gap with an empirical examination of the external and internal factors that shape the role race plays in the anti-death penalty movement. While the death rows across the U.S. are overwhelmingly filled with racial minorities and the poor, the ranks of the anti-death penalty movement are dominated by white, middle-class professionals. The attention given to race arise out of this racial distinction between death row inmates and the activists who advocate for them. By conducting interviews with white, black, and Latino anti-death penalty activists, this book examines the influence of race on the mobilization of activists and their approach toward abolition. The concepts of political opportunity, mobilizing structures, and framing provided by the political process model, are used to describe the complex manner in which moral opposition to the death penalty is shaped by the racial realities of the activists. Although racial tensions lie just below the surface, they nonetheless create real obstacles for the movement as it strives to build a racially diverse coalition of activists aimed at death penalty abolition.
Globalizing the Postcolony
Authors: Griffiths Claire H.
Published: February 2025

Globalizing the Postcolony: Contesting Discourses of Gender and Development in Francophone Africa is a study of development in the former French colonies of West Africa. It takes as its starting point the international community's reporting on human and social development and gender in the developing areas which began systematically in 1990 and which has provided a framework for policy-making in this field. International reports suggest that the francophone African countries have been experiencing low levels of social development throughout the past two decades. These levels fall dramatically when the factor of gender is introduced to the point where statistically-speaking francophone African women have had less access to social development than any other population in the world. This study analyzes current thinking on the challenges facing gender and development in Africa, before moving on to examine the historical factors marking the gender and development profile of the francophone West African region. Through an analysis of gender politics in the region from pre-colonial to postcolonial times, the book examines the gradual incursion of exogenous gender policies into the region throughout the 20th century. The discussion concludes by arguing that despite the tendency of the international community, and their colonial administrative forebears, to pursue 'one-size-fits-all' solutions to what they identified as the main development challenges of the day, the impact of standardized solutions remains subject to the unique historical and cultural context in which they are implemented. Adapting formula-driven policies to unique cultural contexts constitutes a major challenge for gender and development politics in the second decade of the new century. Meanwhile, the book coincides with the introduction of a new international development agenda in Africa articulated around issues of security and globalization. While civil unrest continues to destabilize vast regions of the continent making the prospects of human and social development ever more remote, the rise of China among the traditional powerbrokers threatens to push social development and gender equality even further down the international agenda for Africa. This book is a timely reminder of the feminisation of poverty and disadvantage in the region and the need to keep the gender dimensions of development at the top of the social policy agenda for Africa in the 21st century.
The Philosopher's Song
Authors: Crotty Kevin
Published: February 2025

The Philosopher's Song is a full-length treatment of Plato and the dynamic course of his philosophical thought, regarded from a distinctly poetic point of view. Kevin Crotty demonstrates how Plato's invention of philosophy needs to be situated within the context of a society where poets were cultural authorities, whose teachings emphasized such tragic themes as the instability of things and the indeterminacy of moral terms. The interest of Plato's philosophy lies to a great extent in the compelling interest of what he sought to repress-the poetic and political heritage of a world tragically conceived. Plato's attacks on the poets are notorious. Despite his apparently frank hostility, however, his relation to the poets was exceedingly complex, argues Crotty. Even the banishment of the poets in the Republic turns out to be, more deeply, a recruitment of mimetic poetry for Plato's metaphysics. Once endowed with a metaphysical significance, however, the poets posed a serious challenge to Platonic idealism, and spurred Plato to revise considerably his metaphysical scheme. Crotty ultimately concludes that the views of politics and ethics in Plato's later works return in many ways to the insights of the poets.
The Russian Quest for Peace and Democracy
Authors: Spencer Metta
Published: February 2025

In The Russian Quest for Peace and Democracy, Metta Spencer recounts the political and military changes that have occurred in Russia up to mid-2010. Using hundreds of interviews she conducted with officials, dissidents, and liberal intellectuals, she describes the various groups, forces, and individuals that worked to liberalize the totalitarian Soviet Union and its fellow nations behind the Iron Curtain, and which ultimately brought about the dissolution of those repressive governments. Spencer identifies four political orientations to describe Soviet society: 'Sheep,' ordinary citizens who accepted the undemocratic regime they lived in without challenging it; 'Dinosaurs,' hard-line Communist officials; 'Termites,' including Mikhail Gorbachev and his advisers and government; and 'Barking Dogs,' a few hundred dissidents who made 'a lot of noise' protesting, hoping to awaken a grass-roots demand for democracy. The strange rivalry between the Termites and Barking Dogs would ultimately doom perestroika. Spencer's research dispels the widely-held perception that US President Ronald Reagan 'won' the Cold War by standing firm until the Soviet Union 'blinked first.' There are vitally important lessons to be learned from the Soviet period, about how to assist citizens of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes around the world. The irony is that transnational civil society organizations, major sources of the progress in Soviet Russia, are still needed today in authoritarian Russia, under Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, for totalitarianism remains a potential social trap. In The Russian Quest for Peace and Democracy, Metta Spencer suggests new ways of building urgently-needed social capital in today's Russia, where democracy has yet to flourish.
Gender and the Construction of Hegemonic and Oppositional Femininities
Authors: Charlebois Justin
Published: February 2025

Gender and the Construction of Hegemonic and Oppositional Femininities investigates how hegemonic and nonhegemonic forms of femininity are constructed in the social institutions of school, the workplace, and the media. Hegemonic femininities are those that form a complementary and subordinate relationship with hegemonic masculinity and in doing so legitimize a hierarchical relationship between men and women, and masculinity and femininity. Nonhegemonic femininities include culturally-idealized dominant femininities, which do not legitimize a hierarchical relationship between masculinity and femininity, and gender-deviant subordinate femininities. Through an analysis of existing empirical research and fictional media, the book illustrates the relationship between these various femininities and their relationship with masculinity.
Dealing with a Juggernaut
Authors: Gorska Joanna A.
Published: February 2025

Dealing with a Juggernaut: Analyzing Poland's Policy towards Russia, 1989D2009, by Joanna A. Gorska, is the first substantial study of Poland's foreign policy interaction with its more powerful eastern neighbor, Russia. This study is essential to understanding the prospects for order and peace in Central and Eastern Europe towards Russia during the past twenty years. Gorska challenges widely established interpretations of Poland's post-1989 foreign policy by arguing that consecutive Polish governments pursued a largely cooperative policy towards Russia and did so because of material power considerations, namely Poland's strengthened power position after the Cold War and moderate security pressures from Russia. In analyzing Polish foreign policy, Dealing with a Juggernaut draws on leading theories in the field of International Relations and Foreign Policy Analysis and develops a comprehensive theoretical framework to guide empirical research. Representing a cross-section of politically important areas in Poland's most recent Russia policy, the analysis is delineated along four case studies: the Soviet military withdrawal from Poland in the early 1990s, the NATO issue in Polish policy towards Russia, Polish energy policy towards Moscow, and the Katyn question in Polish foreign policy. This book uses previously unpublished archival material, interviews with leading Polish officials, and a wealth of Polish publications to provide an insight into Warsaw's foreign policy behavior. Gorska points to a departure from hostility and imposition_a significant change in Poland's policy towards Russia after 1989. As such, Dealing with a Juggernaut, by Joanna A. Gorska, uncovers important mechanisms of regional cooperation between states with a checkered past.
Campaign Finance Reform
Authors: Smith Melissa M. , Williams Glenda C. , Powell Larry , Copeland Gary A.
Published: February 2025

For decades, campaign finance reform has been an on-going topic of discussion. In particular, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) was heralded as a major breakthrough in controlling the flow of money into campaigns. Almost immediately, political players found other ways to financially manipulate the new laws. Campaign Finance Reform: The Political Shell Game provides an in-depth look at the history of political campaign finance reform with special emphasis on legislative, FEC, and federal court actions from the 1970s to present. In particular, the authors examine the ways that campaigns and independent groups have sought to make end-runs around existing campaign finance rules. Oftentimes the loopholes they find make a significant impact on an election, sparking the next round of campaign finance reform. New rules are then enacted, and new loopholes are found. Like a big political shell game, the amount of money in politics never actually decreases, but instead gets moved around from one organization to another.
Wise and Foolish Virgins
Authors: Galman Sally
Published: February 2025

Wise and Foolish Virgins: White Women at Work in the Feminized World of Primary School Teaching by Sally Campbell Galman asks the question, what does it mean for an entire profession to be numerically dominated by white women, and what is the relationship between teacher preparation and professional feminization? The book tells the story of three very different teacher preparation programs, explores the hopes and struggles of the mostly white, female students in those programs, and opens a window upon the closed world of teacher educators themselves who must straddle multiple worlds and multiple masters. With one foot in ancient allegory and the other in contemporary popular culture, this text addresses the complex ecologies of gender identity and negotiation between student teachers, teacher educators, and policy-makers against the politicized backdrop of pop culture “feminization” and the unique contours of homogenization in the emerging elementary teaching force.
The Importance of How We See Ourselves
Authors: Oshana Marina A.L.
Published: February 2025

The past fifteen years have seen a wellspring of interest in the concept and practical nature of the self. Questions about the metaphysics of personal identity have preoccupied philosophical scholarship. Less attention has been paid to the topic of the self from the first-person standpoint, the point of view of a person who regards certain phenomena as distinctive of and essential to her identity. Nor has much attention been paid to how this concept of the self is related to responsible agency. This book argues that a person's self-conception affects her status as a responsible agent. (1) The book develops a hybrid view of the self as the object of self-consciousness that is the subject and owner of the events that occur by means of its agency. Agents have unique identities as particular beings, and identify themselves distinctively. (2) The book argues that a healthy, veridical sense of self grounds responsible agency by enabling persons to be aware of what they do and to understand their motives. Certain pathologies upset the unity of a person's identity, while others impair the lucidity of a person's sense of self, and still others disturb general features of responsible agency such as the capacity to act purposively and realize one's will through intentional behavior. The book explains what it means to be oneself, and what departures from this state signify for a person's ability to navigate life and make sense of himself in the process. The notion of acting out of character-of failing to be oneself in some noteworthy way-is relevant to a person's culpability because an individual's self-conception affects his status as an accountable agent. (3) To explain this, the book defends an account of responsible agency. Responsible persons are accountable, alert to normative reasons in support of or in opposition to their behavior and able to respond to reasons for action bearing normative force because these reasons have normative force. Accountable persons are unified agents, a status that calls for an admixture of being oneself, of agency-of authorship, executive control, and intentionality in thought and action, and of ownership.
William Blake's Religious Vision
Authors: Jesse Jennifer
Published: February 2025

In this innovative study, Jesse challenges the prevailing view of Blake as an antinomian and describes him as a theological moderate who defended an evangelical faith akin to the Methodism of John Wesley. She arrives at this conclusion by contextualizing Blake’s works not only within Methodism, but in relation to other religious groups he addressed in his art, including the Established Church, deism, and radical religions. Further, she analyzes his works by sorting out the theological “road signs” he directed to each audience. This approach reveals Blake engaging each faction through its most prized beliefs, manipulating its own doctrines through visual and verbal guide-posts designed to communicate specifically with that group. She argues that, once we collate Blake’s messages to his intended audiences—sounding radical to the conservatives and conservative to the radicals—we find him advocating a system that would have been recognized by his contemporaries as Wesleyan in orientation. This thesis also relies on an accurate understanding of eighteenth-century Methodism: Jesse underscores the empirical rationalism pervading Wesley’s theology, highlighting differences between Methodism as practiced and as publicly caricatured.

Undergirding this project is Jesse’s call for more rigorous attention to the dramatic character of Blake’s works. She notes that scholars still typically use phrases like “Blake says” or “Blake believes,” followed by some claim made by a Blakean character, without negotiating the complex narrative dynamics that might enable us to understand the rhetorical purposes of that statement, as heard by Blake’s respective audiences. Jesse maintains we must expect to find reflections in Blake’s works of all the theologies he engaged. The question is: what was he doing with them, and why? In order to divine what Blake meant to communicate, we must explore how those he targeted would have perceived his arguments.

Jesse concludes that by analyzing the dramatic character of Blake’s works theologically through this wide-angled, audience-oriented approach, we see him orchestrating a grand rapprochement of the extreme theologies of his day into a unified vision that integrates faith and reason.
Ciencias de la Naturaleza y Educación ambiental en el Nivel Secundario
Authors: Morillo Ortiz Belquis Maribel , Escalante José Ramón , Gómez Herrera Claudia Andrey , Triana Hernández Bartolo Máximo
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this article is to analyze current research on Nature Sciences and Environmental Education at the Secondary Level, in order to propose didactic recommendations on the subject. The PRISMA protocol was used for the systematic review. As a result, it is deduced that the Science, Technology and Society (STS) approach should be conceived as a guiding thread in environmental education, so that students can make connections between the different environmental factors. The study conducted revealed that awareness of socio-environmental and socio-scientific controversies of problems and phenomena of nature is characterized by the “value flexibility” quality of the student, which is crucial for environmental education. From the relationships between the didactic processes recommended for virtual education from the Natural Sciences (of interdependence and subordination), the “environmental commitment and citizen participation” results as a synergic quality.

Government officials are responsible to the people because they are paid for their services by the fund of the country which is collected from people. They got extra facilities as the government officials but people see them as the oppressors while taking public services. Their offensive behavior hurts the common people who do not have extra money paid for services. This study attempts to make the people aware, conscious, responsible, accountable, and transparent to government officials.

The Benefits of Fighting the Enemies of Islam In the Light of Surat At-Tawbah: A Case Study of The Battle of Al-ʼaqṣā Flood
Authors: Bey Zekkoub Abdelali
Published: February 2025

Islam has made it obligatory to fight aggressors according to the Qur'ān and Sunnah, as a means of preserving religion from extinction, protecting the soul from destruction, safeguarding the mind from corruption, defending honor from violation, preventing financial loss, and securing land from occupation. However, when Muslim leaders neglected this duty, it led to the domination of enemies over Muslim countries and the imposition of a secular lifestyle upon them. Therefore, it is crucial to dedicate a study to this topic in order to strengthen Muslims, encourage them to confront their enemies, and contribute to the victory of Islam and Muslims. This research seeks to extract the benefits of fighting enemies through verses 14 and 15 of Surah At-Tawbah and to examine their impact on the Battle of Al-ʼaqsā Flood (2023). The study employs inductive, deductive, and descriptive-analytical approaches. The study found the following results: (1) Fighting the enemies of Islam means deterring any attempt and thwarting any conspiracy that aims to destabilize the security of any Muslim country and threatens the lives of its residents, all for the sake of Allah, the Almighty; (2) Extracting six Quranic benefits of fighting enemies, including: killing the enemies, humiliating them, granting victory to the Muslims, experiencing the joy of victory, alleviating the Muslims' anger towards those who wronged them, and strengthening the Muslims' faith while correcting the beliefs of the disbelievers in the face of this victory; (3) All of these benefits were clearly evident during the Battle of Al-ʼaqsā Flood; (4) Extracting thirty benefits from the outcomes of the Battle of Al-ʼaqsā Flood. Moreover, these identified benefits and their application to the Battle of the Flood serve as a powerful motivation for Muslims to have strong faith in Allah, the Almighty, and to trust in His promise of victory over the enemies. They also provide a fundamental foundation for inspiring and encouraging Muslims to fight the aggressors until victory or martyrdom.
