Published: July 2022

This study investigated the effect of sales promotion on customer patronage of household appliances in Lagos State. The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of sales promotion (discount, premiums, and demonstration) on customer patronage of household appliances. The methodology used was based on a descriptive research design. Questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. The sample size was determined using simple random sampling technique. The sample size was One hundred and twentyfour (124) respondents, which was further analyzed using multiple-regression analysis. The findings revealed that there is a positive significant effect of sales promotion in terms of discounts and demonstration used in marketing and sales of household appliances to drive customer patronage. The study however found that the use of premium as a customer sales promotion to influence customer patronage of household appliances was insignificant. In light of the findings, the study recommended that companies that trade in household appliances should continue investing in trade discounts activities that help the customers to keep patronising their company and products.
Setting Reserve Prices in Second-Price Auctions with Unobserved Bids
Authors: Rhuggenaath Jason , Akcay Alp , Zhang Yingqian , Kaymak Uzay
Published: July 2022

In this work we consider a seller who sells an item via second-price auctions with a reserve price. By controlling the reserve price, the seller can influence the revenue from the auction, and in this paper, we propose a method for learning optimal reserve prices. We study a limited information setting where the probability distribution of the bids from bidders is unknown and the values of the bids are not revealed to the seller. Furthermore, we do not assume that the seller has access to a historical data set with bids. Our main contribution is a method that incorporates knowledge about the rules of second-price auctions into a multiarmed bandit framework for optimizing reserve prices in our limited information setting. The proposed method can be applied in both stationary and nonstationary environments. Experiments show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art bandit algorithms. In stationary environments, our method outperforms these algorithms when the horizon is short and performs as good as they do for longer horizons. Our method is especially useful if there is a high number of potential reserve prices. In addition, our method adapts quickly to changing environments and outperforms state-of-the-art bandit algorithms designed for nonstationary environments.

Summary of Contribution: A key challenge in online advertising is the pricing of advertisements in online auctions. The scope of our study is second-price auctions with a focus on the reserve price optimization problem from a seller’s point of view. This problem is motivated by the real-life practice of small and medium-sized web publishers. However, the proposed solution approach is applicable to any seller who sells an item via second-price auctions and wants to optimize its reserve price during these auctions. Our solution approach is based on techniques from machine learning and operations research, and it would be beneficial especially for sellers who start the selling process without any historical data and can collect the data on the outcomes of the auctions while making reserve price decisions over time.

IgG4-related disease confined to the laryngopharynx: a case report highlighting the complexities in diagnosis for this rare cause of stridor
Authors: Mistry R , North AS , Mason K , Pitiyage G , Odutoye B
Published: July 2022

This case represents only the 15th reported incidence of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) affecting the laryngopharynx, adding diagnostic and therapeutic data for this rare condition and helping to inform the future management of these patients. A 66-year-old man presented with airway symptoms, and investigations by otolaryngology, cardiology and respiratory teams did not provide a clear diagnosis. Repeat biopsies of the laryngopharynx eventually confirmed a clinicopathological diagnosis of IgG4-RD. Treatment with prednisolone and methotrexate was successful. When infective and malignant causes of adult stridor have been excluded, inflammatory causes should be considered. The diagnosis of IgG4-RD isolated to the laryngopharynx may be delayed when using the widely accepted American College of Rheumatology classification criteria because it excludes upper aerodigestive tract features. IgG4-RD isolated to the laryngopharynx is extremely rare. This means a multidisciplinary approach is vital in ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment. Better diagnostic criteria are also needed.
Are we meeting the standards set for informed consent in spinal surgery?
Authors: Esemen Y , Mostofi A , Richardson D , Pereira EAC
Published: July 2022

Introduction

Informed consent empowers patients to exercise their autonomy and actively participate in their medical care. Guidance published by the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS) lists three components of consent: provision of information booklets, patient-centred dialogue and completion of appropriate consent forms. The aim of the study was to review the quality of the spinal surgery consent process against the BASS guidance in a single tertiary neurosurgery centre in London.

Methods

Retrospective review of clinic letters and consent forms was performed for 100 consecutive cases of elective, non-instrumented spinal decompression surgeries performed in 2019. Documentation was graded for inclusion of the intended benefit (improvement of pain/prevention of neurological deterioration), alternative management options (including no treatment), surgical options and risks (infection, bleeding, paralysis, sphincter disturbances, dural tear and recurrence). Provision of supplementary information booklets was recorded. Two-tailed Fisher exact test was used to calculate statistical significance where appropriate.

Results

Documentation of indications and risks of elective spinal surgery, specifically risk of recurrence (62%) and sphincter disturbance (85%), was suboptimal on the consent forms. Documentation of these risks was also poor in clinic letters (<50%). Alternative treatment options were explained in less than half of the clinic letters, and there was no documentation of information booklet provision prior to elective surgeries.

Conclusion

Lack of informed consent plays a major role in medical malpractice claims in spinal surgery. Poor documentation puts the surgeon in a liable position. BASS guidance could be implemented to create a more standardised process of consent in spinal surgery.

Authors: Biswas Jheelam , Faruque Mithila , Banik Palash Chandra , Ahmad Nezamuddin , Mashreky Saidur Rahman
Published: July 2022

Background

The concept of home-based palliative care has been recently introduced in Bangladesh, but the patients’ quality of life remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the quality of life and its determinants of the cancer patients receiving home-based palliative care in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted among 51 surviving cancer patients above 18 years registered under the home-based care service of the Department of Palliative Medicine, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data was collected by face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire based on the “Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Palliative (FACIT-Pal)” questionnaire from February to March 2019. Descriptive analysis was done for the socio-demographic, disease and treatment related factors. Mann-Whiteney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and logistic regression were done to determine the relationships between independent variables and QoL.

Result

The majority of the patients (76.5%) were women. The mean age of the respondents was 56.2±4.8 years. Common primary sites of cancer were breast (39.2%), gastrointestinal (17.6%), and genitourinary system (23.5%). The median duration of getting home-based care was four months. The most prevalent problems were pain, sadness, feeling ill, and lack of satisfaction regarding sexual life. The majority (88.2%) of the patients had an average and above-average quality of life. Although, 92.1%patients had average or above-average social and emotional wellbeing, 60.8% had below-average physical wellbeing. Patients’ marital status, belief about disease prognosis, and duration of getting home-based care had a positive influence, and age negatively influenced the quality of life.

Conclusion

The majority of the patients receiving home-based palliative care in Dhaka city had average or above-average quality of life. However, these patients had better social and emotional wellbeing, but the physical wellbeing and symptom control were below-average according to the individual domain.
Rapid prediction of in-hospital mortality among adults with COVID-19 disease
Authors: Kim Kyoung Min , Evans Daniel S. , Jacobson Jessica , Jiang Xiaqing , Browner Warren , Cummings Steven R.
Published: July 2022

Background

We developed a simple tool to estimate the probability of dying from acute COVID-19 illness only with readily available assessments at initial admission.

Methods

This retrospective study included 13,190 racially and ethnically diverse adults admitted to one of the New York City Health + Hospitals (NYC H+H) system for COVID-19 illness between March 1 and June 30, 2020. Demographic characteristics, simple vital signs and routine clinical laboratory tests were collected from the electronic medical records. A clinical prediction model to estimate the risk of dying during the hospitalization were developed.

Results

Mean age (interquartile range) was 58 (45–72) years; 5421 (41%) were women, 5258 were Latinx (40%), 3805 Black (29%), 1168 White (9%), and 2959 Other (22%). During hospitalization, 2,875 were (22%) died. Using separate test and validation samples, machine learning (Gradient Boosted Decision Trees) identified eight variables—oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate, blood urea nitrogen level, age and creatinine—that predicted mortality, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 94%. A score based on these variables classified 5,677 (46%) as low risk (a score of 0) who had 0.8% (95% confidence interval, 0.5–1.0%) risk of dying, and 674 (5.4%) as high-risk (score ≥ 12 points) who had a 97.6% (96.5–98.8%) risk of dying; the remainder had intermediate risks. A risk calculator is available online at https://danielevanslab.shinyapps.io/Covid_mortality/.

Conclusions

In a diverse population of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 illness, a clinical prediction model using a few readily available vital signs reflecting the severity of disease may precisely predict in-hospital mortality in diverse populations and can rapidly assist decisions to prioritize admissions and intensive care.

Published: July 2022

The aims of the current study were to investigate the use of dRPE with academy soccer players to: 1) examine the effect of bio-banded and non-bio-banded maturity groups within SSG on players dRPE; 2) describe the multivariate relationships between dRPE measures investigating the sources of intra and inter-individual variation, and the effects of maturation and bio-banding. Using 32 highly trained under (U) 12 to U14 soccer players (mean (SD) age 12.9 (0.9) years, body mass 46.4 (8.5) kg and stature 158.2 (14.9) cm) academy soccer players from two English professional male soccer academies. Players were categorised according to somatic maturity status using estimated percentage of adult stature attainment, with players randomly assigned into teams to play 4v4 SSG. The study used a repeated measures design, whereby the selected players participated within 6 bio-banded (maturity matched [pre-PHV Vs pre-PHV and post-PHV vs post PHV] and miss-matched [pre-PHV vs post-PHV] and 6 mixed maturity SSG at their respective clubs. Using mixed and fixed effect regression models, it was established hat pre-PHV players exhibited higher dRPE compared with their post-PHV counterparts. Mixed bio-banded games reported higher dRPE outputs overall. Variation in dRPE measures across a series of bio-banded games are caused by both between and within sources of variation in relatively equal amounts. Across a series of bio-banded games, the four dRPE measures do not provide unique information, and between variation is best expressed by one or two highly correlated components, with within variation best explained by a single equally loaded component. Using a bio-banding SSG design study, we have shown that pre-PHV players report higher subjective measures of exertion than post-PHV players during. Additionally, when evenly mixing players based on measures of maturation, higher measures of perceived exertion were generally reported.
Research on coupling coordination and influencing factors between Urban low-carbon economy efficiency and digital finance—Evidence from 100 cities in China’s Yangtze River economic belt
Authors: Yao Fengge , Xue Liqing , Liang Jiayuan
Published: July 2022

China is a large country with rapid economic expansion and high energy consumption, which implies that the country’s overall carbon emissions are enormous. It is vital to increase urban low-carbon economy efficiency (ULEE) to achieve sustainable development of China’s urban economy. Digital finance is a significant tool to boost ULEE by providing a convenient and effective funding channel for urban low-carbon economic transformation. Analyzing the coupled and coordinated relationship between ULEE and digital finance is of vital importance for the sustainable development of the urban economy. This paper selects panel data of 100 cities in China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB) in 2011-2019, and analyzes the research methods such as the Global Malmquist-Luenberger index model, coupling coordination degree (CCD) model, standard deviation ellipse model, gray model, and geographic detector by The spatial and temporal distribution, dynamic evolution characteristics and influencing factors of the CCD between ULEE and digital finance are analyzed. The study shows that: (1) the CCD of ULEE and digital finance grows by 3.42% annually, reflecting the increasingly coordinated development of the two systems; (2) The CCD of ULEE and digital finance shows a distribution pattern of gradient increase from the upstream region of Yangtze River to the downstream region, meanwhile, the spatial center of gravity moves mainly in the midstream region; (3) The spatial center of gravity of CCD of ULEE and digital finance is expected to move 22.17 km to the southwest from 2019 to 2040; (4) In terms of influencing factors, the influence of informatization and industrial structure on the CCD increases over time, while the influence of factors such as population development, greening, transportation, and scientific research decreases over time. Finally, this paper proposes policy recommendations for improving the CCD of ULEE and digital finance based on the empirical results.
Multisensory stimuli enhance the effectiveness of equivalence learning in healthy children and adolescents

Published: July 2022

It has been demonstrated earlier in healthy adult volunteers that visually and multisensory (audiovisual) guided equivalence learning are similarly effective. Thus, these processes seem to be independent of stimulus modality. The question arises as to whether this phenomenon can be observed also healthy children and adolescents. To assess this, visual and audiovisual equivalence learning was tested in 157 healthy participants younger than 18 years of age, in both a visual and an audiovisual paradigm consisting of acquisition, retrieval and generalization phases. Performance during the acquisition phase (building of associations), was significantly better in the multisensory paradigm, but there was no difference between the reaction times (RTs). Performance during the retrieval phase (where the previously learned associations are tested) was also significantly better in the multisensory paradigm, and RTs were significantly shorter. On the other hand, transfer (generalization) performance (where hitherto not learned but predictable associations are tested) was not significantly enhanced in the multisensory paradigm, while RTs were somewhat shorter. Linear regression analysis revealed that all the studied psychophysical parameters in both paradigms showed significant correlation with the age of the participants. Audiovisual stimulation enhanced acquisition and retrieval as compared to visual stimulation only, regardless of whether the subjects were above or below 12 years of age. Our results demonstrate that multisensory stimuli significantly enhance association learning and retrieval in the context of sensory guided equivalence learning in healthy children and adolescents. However, the audiovisual gain was significantly higher in the cohort below 12 years of age, which suggests that audiovisually guided equivalence learning is still in development in childhood.
A cross-sectional study of dental students perception of dental faculty gender differences
Authors: Rashid Shaista , ElSalhy Mohamed
Published: July 2022

Objective

The objective of this study was to evaluate students’ perceptions of differences in learning from faculty of different gender.

Method

This cross-sectional study involved pre-doctoral dental students (years 2 to 4) who had a simulation and/or clinical experience working with dental faculty for at least one year. Students completed a self-administered questionnaire with three sections: demographic, difference between faculty related to their knowledge, skill, critical thinking, acceptance of cultural differences, and students’ preferences in working with faculty in specialty clinics.

Results

A total of 136 students completed the survey (75.4% response rate). Participants were 52.6% women, 62.2% self-identified as Caucasian/White. Students reported that female faculty are more understanding (p = 0.001) and accepting of cultural differences (p<0.001) compared to male faculty (p<0.05). Students reported perceiving female faculty more as being a role model than male faculty (p = 0.034). When comparing male and female students, male student’s perception of male faculty as a role model was significantly higher than female students (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in student’s perceptions between male and female faculty in their knowledge, skills, compassion, critical thinking, providing feedback, communication skills, and grading (p>0.05). Caucasian/White students perceived female faculty as more encouraging for discussions and male faculty as more rigid/inflexible (p<0.05).

Conclusions

Students perceived female faculty as more understanding and culturally competent compared to male faculty. There were no significant differences in student’s perceptions of male and female faculty in their knowledge, skills, compassion, critical thinking, feedback, communication skills, and grading. Students perceived female faculty as role models more than male faculty.
Uneven burden of multidimensional poverty in India: A caste based analysis
Authors: Pradhan Itishree , Kandapan Binayak , Pradhan Jalandhar
Published: July 2022

Poverty is multifaceted. The global poverty profile shows 41% of multidimensionally poor people living in South Asian countries. Though castes and tribes are a more prevalent line of social stratification in India, and their socio-economic characteristics also vary remarkably, hardly any study has explored these dimensions while analysing multidimensional poverty in India. Hence, this study attempts to assess the multidimensional status of poverty among the social groups in India. National Family Health Survey, 2015–16 (NFHS-4) is a source of rich information on 579,698 households’ well-being for this analysis. Alkire- Foster technique was applied to decompose the Multidimensional Poverty Index (M0) across its dimensions and indicators for all the social groups. Three broad dimensions of deprivation–Health, Education and Standard of Living–include 12 indicators, guided by the poverty literature, data availability and the country’s sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There were three main findings in this study: (1) Scheduled Tribes (STs) are the most disadvantaged subgroup in India with remarkably high values of headcount (H = 0.444;), intensity (A = 0.486), and M0 (0.216), followed by Scheduled Castes (SCs) (H = 0.292; A = 0.473; M0 = 0.138), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) (H = 0.245; A = 0.465; M0 = 0.114); and Others category is the most privileged with very low values of H = 0.149, A = 0.463, and M0 = 0.069; (2) STs contribute nearly twice their population share for both H and M0, and the SCs contribution is also noticeably higher than their population share; (3) States located in the central and eastern regions of India have the higher H, A and M0 for all the social groups. This suggests that there is a need for a thorough assessment of poverty at specific levels to uncover the poverty situation in society, improve the effectiveness of evidence-based planning and effective policymaking.
The causal relationship between allergic diseases and heart failure: Evidence from Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Guo Yan-Ge , Zhang Yan , Liu Wei-Li
Published: July 2022

Background

Emerging evidence shows allergic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and asthma, are risk factors of heart failure. However, the causal relationship between allergic diseases and heart failure is not clear.

Methods

We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis between allergic diseases and heart failure using summary statistics of genome-wide association studies from large GWAS consortia, with total sample size of 1.2 million. Independent instrumental variables for asthma and atopic dermatitis (P<1×10−5) were used as the exposure. We applied five models for the Mendelian randomization analysis. Finally, we performed the sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of the results.

Results

We have identified 55 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for asthma 54 independent SNPs for atopic dermatitis as our instrumental variables. The inverse variance-weighted (IVW) analysis showed asthma was significantly associated with increased risk of heart failure (ORIVW = 1.04, 95% CI, 1.01–1.07, P = 0.03). The Mendelian randomization analysis using the other four models also showed consistent results with the IVW analysis. Similarly, atopic dermatitis was also significantly associated with an increased risk of heart failure (ORIVW = 1.03, 95% CI, 1.01–1.06, P = 0.01), consistent with the other four models. The sensitivity analysis showed no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy or results were driven by single SNPs.

Conclusion

Our study identified asthma and atopic dermatitis as a causal risk factor for heart failure and suggest inflammatory pathogenesis as a key factor contributing to the underlying mechanism. These findings emphasize the importance of asthma and allergy control in the prevention and management of heart failure.

Published: July 2022

Mature B-cell neoplasms are typically divided into Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. Hodgkin Lymphoma is characterized by the neoplastic Reed-Sternberg cells, usually harbored in an inflammatory background, with a frequent clinical presentation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Many studies link between autoimmunity and lymphomagenesis, a large proportion of these studies evidently trace the pathogenesis back to the misdirected detection of self-derived nucleic acids by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), especially those of the intracellular type. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between a selected SNP in TLR9 (TLR9-1237T>C; rs5743836) and the risk and overall survival of HL patients in a Jordanian Arab population. A total of 374 subjects; 136 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma and 238 matched healthy controls were incorporated in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Genotyping of the genetic polymorphisms was conducted using a sequencing protocol. The results show a statistically significant higher distribution of the rs5743836 (TLR9-1237T>C) allele among the case population, with a p-value of 0.031 (<0.05). This distribution proved significant when studied in the codominant (only significant in the T/C genotype, p-value = 0.030), dominant (p-value = 0.025), and overdominant (p-value = 0.035) models. None of the models showed any statistically significant difference in survival associated with the rs5743836 (TLR9-1237T>C) SNP.

Authors: Song Shengfang , Luo Zhehui , Li Chenxi , Huang Xuemei , Shiroma Eric J. , Simonsick Eleanor M. , Chen Honglei
Published: July 2022

Background

Depression is common in Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is however unclear when and how depressive symptoms develop and progress in the course of PD development.

Objective

To assess how depressive symptoms evolve in PD, using repeated measures.

Methods

In 2994 older adults, ages 70–79 years, depressive symptoms were assessed 8 times over 11 years using the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10). For each PD patient at each time point, we calculated the difference between CESD-10 score and its expected value estimated based on data from individuals without PD, and then realigned the time scale in reference to the year of PD diagnosis. We examined longitudinal changes in CESD-10 scores before and after PD diagnosis using a joint modeling approach to account for competing risks of non-participation and death.

Results

A total of 79 PD patients were identified at enrollment or during the follow-up, with repeatedly assessed depressive symptom data up to 9 years before and after PD diagnosis. We found a monotonic trend of increasing CESD-10 score in PD patients throughout the observational period (p = 0.002). The observed scores became higher than expected approximately 7 years before PD diagnosis and significantly different 1 year before PD diagnosis.

Conclusions

Increasing depressive symptomatology appears to precede PD diagnosis by a few years.
Solaris: El antropocentrismo en la arquitectura extraterrestre como obstáculo para la comunicación interespecies
Authors: Jiménez Moreno David
Published: July 2022

El establecimiento de la humanidad en el cosmos ha llevado a especular sobre el contacto con otras formas de vida compleja, pero apenas se ha reflexionado sobre los espacios que acogerán la interacción. La novela Solaris, escrita por Stanisław Lem, nos muestra un caso de estudio relevante acerca de cómo el espacio puede condicionar la forma de relacionarse con entidades que no sigan una lógica humana. La estación científica se concibe con una función utilitaria, como una herramienta afinada para realizar los complejos procesos técnicos para la que fue construida, pero no para jugar un papel en el contacto. Se diseña para funcionar y mantenerse en un segundo plano sin molestar, como un equipamiento eficaz. Sin embargo, la estación evoca de manera rotunda los marcos mentales antropocéntricos bajo los que fue concebida, interviene en el lenguaje empleado en el contacto, en la percepción de la entidad extraterrestre y en la concepción de la realidad que los científicos emplean para operar en el universo. El lugar consolida de forma rutinaria el pensamiento humano considerado aceptable por los habitantes de la estructura, el único considerado válido.

Authors: Morillo Puente Solbey , Ríos Hernández Iván Neftalí , Henao López Gloria Cecilia
Published: July 2022

El objetivo fue conocer el Sexting autorrevelado por 1.364 estudiantes de secundaria de Colombia y su relación con la Teoría de Actividades Rutinarias. Las escalas de Sexting y Actividades Rutinarias son confiables (Alfa> 0,80) y válidas según juicio de expertos. La validez de constructo de la escala de Sexting se determinó mediante análisis factorial exploratorio, encontrándose dos factores que explican conjuntamente el 78.196% de la varianza, denominado conductas de Sexting y consecuencias del Sexting. Los resultados muestran que, al menos una vez, han enviado-reenviado (15%) o recibido (24,8%) fotos o videos con contenido sexual. El 29.4% de los jóvenes exhibió conductas de Sexting. Las mujeres tienen mayor tendencia al Sexting y la probabilidad de participar en esta conducta aumenta conforme avanzan en el grado de estudio. Finalmente, la regresión logística binaria muestra que la dimensión Objetivo adecuado en línea de la Teoría de Actividades Rutinarias, predice tanto Conductas como Consecuencias del Sexting, aumentando la probabilidad de ocurrencia de estas. Para prevenir el Sexting se debe concientizar a los jóvenes de los riesgos de establecer amistad a través de Internet con personas desconocidas, publicar fotos o videos o guardar información personal en el celular o tablet, indicadores de la variable predictora.
Las Cuevecicas del Estiércol (Quesa, Valencia) y su aportación al debate en torno a la figura femenina en el Arte Rupestre Levantino del macizo del Caroig
Authors: Martorell Briz Ximo , Martínez i Rubio Trinidad
Published: July 2022

El estudio integral de las Cuevecicas del Estiércol ha sacado a la luz una docena de pinturas rupestres neolíticas, distribuidas en dos paneles. Entre ellas cabe destacar un serpentiforme de un solo trazo, una escena formada por una pareja de figuras femeninas asociadas a una barra zigzagueante, un arquero y una escena de recolección protagonizada por otra figura femenina. A pesar de que el número de representaciones es reducido, las Cuevecicas del Estiércol presentan un alto interés por la combinación de esos motivos y por las implicaciones que, a nivel territorial, muestran algunas temáticas. Se ha tratado de realizar una lectura diacrónica y territorialmente acotada a la comarca artística del macizo del Caroig, en la cuenca media del río Júcar, de las figuras femeninas, de su representación e importancia a lo largo de la secuencia artística y las implicaciones que, a nivel arqueológico e histórico, ha tenido el sesgo androcéntrico en las lecturas de los paneles clásicos. Una de las conclusiones a las que llega este trabajo es que la invisibilización de las figuras femeninas en el Arte Rupestre Postpaleolítico peninsular ha ido en detrimento de la investigación y el avance de la disciplina arqueológica. De igual modo, y desde el punto de vista de la investigación, se reivindica la necesidad de continuar con proyectos de prospección y documentación de los conjuntos para aumentar el corpus conocido.
SIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING EXPERIENCES IN CHILEAN DEAF EDUCATION
Authors: Moraga Maribel González , Vilugrón Karina Muñoz
Published: July 2022

In Chile, there is not yet an official Chilean Sign Language (LSCh) curriculum. LSCh was considered just as a means of communication for many years (Law 20.422, 2010). Recently, thanks to the modification of the law, LSCh is now recognized as a natural, native language and intangible heritage of Chilean deaf people (Law 21.303, 2021). The law also states that deaf children's right to be educated and get access to the national curriculum in ChSL as their first language must be respected. Despite the absence of an official LSCh curriculum, educational experiences do exist in both special and mainstream schools with deaf students, in which LSCh has been incorporated as a means of teaching the national curriculum. This article presents an analysis of the current implementation of educational plans and programs for deaf students in which LSCh has been integrated. With this aim in mind, experiences and opinions of members from different educational contexts and communities were collected, and representatives of organizations that elaborate educational policies were consulted.

Lendas, complôs e realidades alternativas: as narrativas acerca da realidade contemporânea e os regimes de conhecimento
Authors: Crippa Giulia
Published: July 2022

O artigo analisa a constituição de novos regimes de verdade, observando uma série de fenômenos que decorrem, em grande parte, de processos ligados à modernização e as mudanças que compõem nossa contemporaneidade. Busca-se entender como os regimes de verdade se estabelecem a partir da hipótese de que se trata de sistemas de crenças que, consolidados no tempo, sofrem processos de mutação constantes. Adota-se como metodologia principal o estudo bibliográfico. Conclui-se que as narrativas são ligadas às formas de interpretar a realidade, permitindo o reconhecimento das identidades; são também um conjunto de procedimentos cognitivos que geram os conhecimentos individuais e compartilhados, tornando tal conhecimento objetivo, real e crível.
Estágio Curricular Supervisionado em Geografia: desafios da aprendizagem docente em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Martins Rosa Elisabete Militz Wypyczynski , Mauricio Suelen Santos , Michielin Carolina Araújo
Published: July 2022

A proposta deste artigo consiste em desenvolver algumas reflexões acerca do estágio curricular supervisionado em Geografia no contexto de pandemia de COVID-19 e apresentar os desafios vivenciados na disciplina de Estágio Curricular Supervisionado em Geografia III do curso de Geografia Licenciatura do Centro de Ciência Humanas e da Educação da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina – FAED/UDESC, presente na sétima fase do curso, com destaque para as ações desenvolvidas no primeiro semestre do ano de 2021. Essas atividades foram realizadas de forma remota e, diante das dificuldades, foram encontradas algumas alternativas para que os movimentos do estágio, sobretudo as práticas docentes, fossem efetivadas. Acreditamos que as experiências e reflexões desenvolvidas possibilitaram a superação de alguns obstáculos relacionados a migração das atividades para o ensino remoto por meio de plataformas virtuais e a falta do contato direto com as unidades escolares e possibilitou a construção de novos saberes e a vivência de outras formas de exercício da docência.

Published: July 2022

El propósito del trabajo es analizar las innovaciones didácticas en educación geográfica desarrolladas durante la formación de los futuros profesores en Chile y Brasil en el contexto de los objetivos para el desarrollo sostenible (ODS). Metodológicamente, se realizó un análisis documental de los trabajos elaborados por estudiantes del curso de didáctica de la Geografía - de la Universidad La Serena, Chile - durante el segundo semestre del año 2021; registros de las actividades de los estudiantes de la carrera de licenciatura en Ciencias Sociales en la Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) durante el año de 2021, en el “Proyecto Nosotros Proponemos! Observatório del Medio Ambiente en Marília”. Fueran analizados, también, los registros de evaluación de reuniones del grupo de investigación CPEA durante el año de 2021, en que las actividades fueran planeadas y organizadas en conjunto con el equipo pedagógico de escuelas de educación básica. Entre los principales resultados, se aprecia que los trabajos de los estudiantes propenden al desarrollo del pensamiento geográfico y al conocimiento de temáticas de riesgos socio-naturales, cambio climático, globalización, uso de nuevas tecnologías y formación ciudadana. Desde una perspectiva didáctica, estas temáticas, relacionadas con los ODS, permiten estimular la investigación y el desarrollo de la educación geográfica en la formación de profesores.
A ultrajante questão agrária
Authors: Botelho Thaynara Moreira , Caetano Rodrigo da Costa
Published: July 2022

No artigo objetiva-se analisar a continuidade da questão agrária e dos problemas sociais ocasionados e reproduzidos estruturalmente. Na metodologia optou-se pela pesquisa bibliográfica, com abordagem qualitativa a partir de importantes referências e de legislação específica. Os resultados apontam que a Frente Parlamentar da Agropecuária, presente no Congresso Nacional, defende de forma significativa os interesses da elite agrária e dos grupos associados ao agronegócio em detrimento da viabilização do acesso à terra aos trabalhadores rurais e da visibilidade do campesinato. Constatou-se que há persistência do latifúndio e resiliência dos camponeses no Brasil em meio ao atual cenário político nacional.
Ecología política y los territorios hidrosociales en la Montaña baja de Guerrero, México
Authors: Arcos María Elena Matías
Published: July 2022

La falta de acceso al agua y su saneamiento es parte de las injusticias históricas hídricas que aquejan a quienes habitan espacios rurales de La Montaña de Guerrero. Esto debido al abandono, la omisión y la implementación de políticas públicas con tendencias a la privatización del agua que desde 1992 ha llevado a cabo el Estado mexicano. Dichas comunidades siguen administrando este vital líquido a través de la gestión comunitaria y/o la cogestión, una labor que no se reduce a la dotación del servicio, sino que parte del eje articulador de la vida comunitaria y de un complejo sistema del cual depende la vida de quienes las habitan. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un diagnóstico regional en la Montaña baja de Guerrero. Se identificaron territorios hidrosociales tradicionales y/o vernáculos, basados en dos tipos de redes: las de colaboración y las de conflicto. Además se describen los principales problemas y los retos que enfrentan los territorios hidrosociales tradicionales. Finalmente, se presentan las redes de colaboración y de conflictos como un área de oportunidad para combatir las injusticias hídricas.

Demarcaciones regionales y microrregional:
Authors: Trujillo-Díaz Ana Gabriela , Cruz-Morales Juana
Published: July 2022

La historia sobre las demarcaciones regionales de la Sierra Madre de Chiapas (SMCh) y la Frailesca se funda en procesos políticos enlazados, inicialmente, con la importancia económica y más recientemente con lo ambiental. El objetivo es abordar, brevemente, la génesis de las poblaciones “irregulares” localizadas al interior de un Área Natural Protegida (ANP) al sur del estado de Chiapas, México. Se realizó una breve cronología con los principales elementos que favorecieron la demarcación de las dos regiones para posteriormente analizar sus implicaciones sociales en la demarcación de la microrregión de la Sierra de Villaflores. Se encontró que las demarcaciones regionales tanto de la SMCh como de la Frailesca perpetuaron la reproducción de relaciones sociales caciquiles; cuyos efectos se acentúan a escala microrregional pues ha provocado una distinción, interna y externa, entre los ejidos y las poblaciones “irregulares”.

Experiências extensionistas no projeto “Imagens da Vida: arte, saúde, história”
Authors: Felonta Samantha Moreira , Rohr Roseane Vargas
Published: July 2022

A extensão universitária é um dos pilares da universidade pública e possibilita o desenvolvimento de ações junto à comunidade, estabelecendo o compartilhamento de saberes e práticas do meio acadêmico com o conhecimento popular, visando atender às demandas da população e contribuindo para a transformação da realidade social. No campo da saúde, a extensão deve promover ações que contribuam com o processo crítico e reflexivo sobre os processos de adoecimento e vida. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar experiências em ações extensionistas realizadas, contando com o protagonismo de bolsista do projeto “Imagens da Vida: arte, saúde, história”, entre março de 2019 a outubro de 2021, evidenciando os desafios enfrentados durante a pandemia. Foram estruturadas duas mostras culturais temáticas em unidade básica de saúde da família em 2019 e, durante a pandemia, houve necessidade de direcionar as ações do projeto para o ambiente virtual, com realização de oficinas, cursos, apresentação de trabalhos em eventos, produção de artigos. Conclui-se que a participação em ações extensionistas constitui um espaço rico de aprendizado para o estudante e possibilita desenvolver o pensamento crítico e reflexivo de problemas observados no território, além de viabilizar a troca de saberes com a comunidade.

O objetivo deste relato de experiência é descrever a atividade de auditoria social desenvolvida por intermédio de oficinas pedagógicas temáticas relativas ao projeto de extensão da Universidade de Brasília (UnB). Este relato de experiência resume a oferta de dez oficinas temáticas, sobre formação de Auditor Social, no âmbito do projeto de extensão “Controle Social: aprenda a ser um Auditor Social”, em Brasília, realizado pelo curso de Ciências Contábeis da UnB. O projeto tem o intuito de capacitar não só a comunidade acadêmica, mas a sociedade em geral para exercer o controle social de atos e fatos da Administração Pública. A metodologia de oficinas pedagógicas temáticas foi desenvolvida no âmbito do projeto por Costa et al. (2014). Entre os anos de 2011 e 2021, foram certificados 99 participantes, entre discentes e docentes. Concluiu-se que a experiência foi exitosa e contribuiu para reflexão sobre a necessidade de amadurecimento da metodologia de oficinas temáticas e o planejamento da oferta de novas oficinas para atendimento de diferentes públicos, como crianças e idosos, bem como a implementação do uso de plataformas digitais de ensino e aprendizagem.

O presente relato objetiva destacar a importância da extensão universitária, por intermédio da descrição e análise de ações extensionistas desenvolvidas por alunos integrantes dos cursos de licenciatura da Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais, Unidade Barbacena, em parceria com escolas de Ensino Médio da rede estadual do mesmo município. Para isso, o projeto se fez valer de palestras e discussões realizadas de forma virtual, em distintos momentos, com alunos de diferentes escolas da rede pública da cidade, nas quais foram abordados temas de suma importância para as Ciências Sociais, tais como termos da política institucional e o sincretismo religioso, demonstrando assim que, em tempos pandêmicos, a troca de saberes entre o ambiente escolar e as instituições de ensino superior ainda é possível. Os resultados mostraram que com a realização do projeto, os estudantes que participaram das dinâmicas propostas, ora via oral, ora via chat do Google Meet, alçaram conhecimentos para além do senso comum sobre ambos os temas desenvolvidos. Além disso, o projeto se propõe a contribuir para com o avanço de um dos atuais pilares da universidade pública: a extensão, enquanto reflete acerca das contribuições proporcionadas pela presente prática de extensão universitária na formação dos discentes enquanto futuros educadores.
