With the ongoing headways in AI, Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVA) have become a universal piece of each home. Going ahead, we are seeing an intersection of vision, discourse and exchange framework innovations that are empowering the IVAs to learn broad media groundings of articulations and have discussions with clients about the articles, exercises and occasions encompassing them. As a piece of the seventh Dialog System Technology Challenges (DSTC7), for Audio Visual Scene-Aware Dialog (AVSD) track, We investigate 'subjects' of the exchange as a significant relevant element into the design alongside investigations around multimodal Attention. We additionally join a start to finish sound order ConvNet, AclNet, into our models. We present itemized investigation of the analyses and show that a portion of our model varieties beat the benchmark framework introduced for this errand.\end{abstract}
Running behaviors, motivations, and injury risk during the COVID-19 pandemic: A survey of 1147 international runners
Authors: Alexandra F DeJong MEd , Fish Pamela N. , Hertel Jay
Published: June 2020

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced activity behaviors worldwide. Given the accessibility of running as exercise, gaining information on running behaviors, motivations, and running-related injury (RRI) risk during the pandemic is warranted. Purpose: To assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on running volume, behaviors, motives, and RRI changes from the year prior to the pandemic to the timeframe during social isolation restrictions.Methods: Runners of all abilities were recruited via social media to complete a custom Qualtrics survey. Demographics, running volume, behaviors, motivations, and injury status were assessed for the year prior to the pandemic, and during social isolation measures. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were used to assess changes in running outcomes during the pandemic. Logistic regressions were used to assess the influence of demographics on running behaviors and injury. Adjusted RRI risk ratios were calculated to determine the odds of sustaining an injury during the pandemic. Alpha was set to .05 for all analyses.Results: 1147 runners (66.46% females, median age: 35 years) across 15 countries (95.60% United States) completed the survey. Runners reported increased runs per week (Mean Difference with Standard Error [MD]: 0.30 [0.05], p<.001), sustained runs (MD: 0.44 [0.05], p<.001), mileage (MD: 0.87 [0.33], p=.01), and running times of day (MD: 0.11 [0.03], p<.001) during the pandemic, yet reported less workouts (i.e. sprint intervals; MD: -0.33 [0.06], p<.001), and less motives (MD [SE]: -0.41 [0.04], p<.001). Behavior changes were influenced by running experience and age. There was 1.40 (CI: 1.18,1.61) times the RRI risk during the pandemic compared to prior to the social isolation period.Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced runners’ behaviors with increased training volume, decreased intensity and motivation, and heightened injury risk. These results provide insights into how physical activity patterns were influenced by large-scale social isolation directives associated with the pandemic.

The proposed \gls{cimpl} strategy is customized toward binaural portable amplifier frameworks with receiver exhibits in every unit. The technique uses the roundabout insights (roundabout mean and round difference) of \gls{impd} across various amplifier sets. These \gls{impd}s are right off the bat mapped to time delays through a difference weighted direct fit, at that point mapped to azimuth \gls{doa} and finally data of various mouthpiece sets is consolidated. The fluctuation is helped through the various changes and goes about as an unwavering quality list of the evaluated point. Both the subsequent edge and fluctuation are taken care of into a wrapped Kalman channel, which gives a smoothed gauge of the \gls{doa}. The proposed strategy improves the exactness of the followed point of a solitary moving source contrasted and the benchmark technique gave by the LOCATA challenge, and it runs around multiple times quicker.

An Ethical Decision-Making Framework with Serious Gaming: Smart Water Case Study on Flooding
Authors: Ewing Gregory , Demir Ibrahim
Published: June 2020

Sensors and control technologies are being deployed extensively in both urban water networks and rural river systems, leading to unprecedented ability to sense and control our water environment. Because these sensor networks and control systems allow for higher resolution monitoring and decision making in both time and space, greater discretization of control will allow for an unprecedented precision of impacts, both positive and negative. Likewise, due to growth in system complexity, humans will continue to cede direct decision-making powers to decision-support technologies such as data algorithms. Systems will have ever-greater potential to effect human lives and yet humans will be insulated from direct decisions. Combined, these trends present a challenge for water resources management decision support tools to incorporate concepts ethical and normative expectations. Towards this end, we propose the Water Ethics Web Engine, (WE)2, an integrated and generalized web framework to incorporate voting-based ethical and normative preferences into water resources decision-support schemes. We then demonstrate the framework with a proof-of-concept use case where decision models are learned and deployed to respond to flooding scenarios. Results indicate the framework can capture group “wisdom” in learned models and use this to make decisions. We share our generalized framework and its cyber components openly with the research community.
From Simmel to Relational Sociology
Authors: Mützel Sophie , Kressin Lisa
Published: June 2020

Georg Simmel (1858-1918), who is widely regarded as one of the classics and intellectual grandfathers of sociology, has written on a variety of topics from several disciplinary perspectives. Yet despite the breadth and richness of his work, current sociology typically focuses only on individual dimensions. On the one hand, Simmel’s work is seen as foundational to a formal sociology, which is at the core of social network analysis. On the other hand, Simmel’s works on cultural issues yield astute analyses of modernity, which is why they are classics in the sociology of culture. However, such one-dimensional interpretations of Simmel’s work appear limited and in turn do not sufficiently capture his influence on the field of sociology. This chapter claims that the separated readings of the “two Simmels” need to be brought together to make full analytical use of Simmel’s most important heuristic distinction: form and content. Moreover, we will show that relational sociology of the past four decades has moved in that direction by taking the interrelation of structure and meaning seriously.
Visual Artists’ Professional Situations and Trajectories. Between Institutions and the Market
Authors: Bataille Pierre , Hedinger Johannes , Moeschler Olivier
Published: June 2020

Since the nineteenth-century romanticism, the “singularity regime” highlights the vocation and achievements of the individual creator. Recently, the artist as an entrepreneur has been defended, including within the artistic sector and art schools, and the model of the artist as a worker put forward. Exactly who are visual artists in Switzerland today? What is or are their self-representation(s)? Do artists manage to live from their artistic production? What is the link between their professional and personal trajectories and positions and their socio-demographic profiles, notably in terms of gender? To what extent are they integrated into the artistic market? This contribution draws on a national inquiry on more than 450 artists in the visual field in Switzerland. The results outline changes and constants in a field structured by three poles: market logics, institutional support and non-integration.
Studying the prominence effect amid the COVID-19 crisis: implications for public health policy decision-making.
Authors: Maaravi Yossi , Heller Ben
Published: June 2020

Background: The novel COVID-19 has brought upon crucial policy- and decision-making situations, especially when making judgments between economic and healthconcerns. One particularly relevant decision-making phenomenon is the prominenceeffect, where decision-makers base their decisions on the most prominent attribute ofthe object at hand (e.g., health concerns) rather than weigh all the attributes together.This bias diminishes when the decision-making mode inhibits heuristic processes. Inthis study, we tested the prominence of health vs. economic concerns across twodecision-making modes - choice (prone to heuristics) and matching (mitigatesheuristics) - during the peak of the COVID-19 in the UK using Tversky et al.’s classicexperimental paradigm. We added to the classic experimental design a primingcondition. Methods and Findings: Four hundred twenty participants from the UK wererecruited via a crowd-working platform. They were presented with two casualty-minimization programs, differing in lives saved and costs: program X would save 100lives at the cost of 55-million-pound sterling, whereas program Y would save 30 lives atthe cost of 12-million-pound sterling. Half of the participants were required to choosebetween the programs (choice condition). The other half were not given the cost ofprogram X and were asked to determine what the cost should be to make it as equallyattractive as the program Y. Participants in both groups were primed for either: a)economic concerns; b) health concerns; or c) control (no priming). Results showed thatin the choice condition, unless primed for economic concerns, health concerns aremore prominent (only under economic priming was there a significant preference forprogram Y, p<0.001). In the matching condition, on the other hand, the prominence ofhealth concerns did not affect decision-makers, as they all “preferred” the cheaperoption. Conclusions: These results add further support to the practical relevance ofusing the proper decision-making modes in times of consequential crises wheremultiple concerns, interests, and parties are involve
Reducing Emergence: The Case Studies in Statistic Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: June 2020

The emergent properties are properties referring to a system as a whole, but they do not make sense to its elements or parts being small enough. Furthermore certain emergent properties are reducible to those of elements or relevant parts often. The paper means the special case where the description of the system by means of its emergent properties is much simpler than that of its relevant elements or parts. The concept is investigated by a case study based on statistic thermodynamics, general relativity, and quantum mechanics.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted mental health globally. It is essential to deploy advanced research methodologies that may use complex data to draw meaningful inferences facilitating mental health research and policymaking during this pandemic. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies offer a wide range of opportunities to leverage advancements in data sciences in analyzing health records, behavioral data, social media contents, and outcomes data on mental health. Several studies have reported the use of several AI technologies such as vector machines, neural networks, latent Dirichlet allocation, decision trees, and clustering to detect and treat depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other mental health problems. The applications of such technologies in the context of COVID-19 is still under development, which calls for further deployment of AI technologies in mental health research in this pandemic using clinical and psychosocial data through technological partnerships and collaborations. Lastly, policy-level commitment and deployment of resources to facilitate the use of robust AI technologies for assessing and addressing mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Effect of Income Diversification on Risk-Adjusted Profitability of Commercial and Development Banks in Nepal
Authors: Prajapati Rubina , Shah Ajay Kumar
Published: June 2020

This study analyses the impact of income diversification on risk adjusted profitability of commercial and development banks in Nepal. Risk adjusted profitability is measured in terms of risk adjusted return on assets (RAROA) and risk adjusted return on equity (RAROE). The regression analysis shows Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI), equity multiplier, non-interest income and foreign holding have significant positive impact on RAROE of commercial banks. Whereas the size of commercial banks has a significant negative impact on RAROE. There is a significant positive impact of HHI, non-interest income on RAROA in case of commercial banks. Size of commercial banks also has a significant negative impact on RAROA. Debt ratio does not have significant impact in case of RAROE of commercial banks and equity multiplier, debt ratio and foreign holding do not have significant impact on RAROA of commercial banks. The regression analysis of development banks showed there is significant positive impact of HHI and equity multiplier on RAROE of development banks. The study concludes that income diversification, non-interest income and size of the commercial banks are the major determinants of risk adjusted profitability of commercial banks.

Published: June 2020

Landslides considered as a common hazard, affecting constantly the administrative territory of Gandaki province, located in the central part of Nepal. Impact of landslides is significant due to its specific geological, anthropic, vegetation and other circumstances. The main aim of this study was to identify the factors determining landslides and forming a landslide susceptibility mapping of study area. The fieldwork was conducted, where 128 GPS locations was recorded throughout the study area. This study also used the maximum entropy model using MaxEnt software, taking into account of various landslide-causing factors, resulting major variables of landslides risk and formed susceptibility mapping of landslide. It is identified that slope and land use land cover are most important variables to increase the landslide risk. Findings highlight that lands around the riversides and steep slopes are more risky area in terms of landslides. Moreover, it is found that the area of 3371.32 km2 measured as landslide risk zone in this province, where Gorkha district categorized as most vulnerable place for landslide, comprising of largest area of landslide risk zone while Parbat district has low amount of risk land. Since the human casualties and property loss are the major consequences of the disaster, it is essential to identify and analyse the factors determining for landslide and developing the landslide susceptibility mapping of Gandaki province, which could be taken into account while developing mitigation and coping strategies.

Authors: Paudel Pitambar
Published: June 2020

The national and international migration has made multilingualism a common phenomenon; Nepal is no exception. Nepal is regarded as a multilingual country where more than 129 languages are spoken. Despite multilingualism, English language has been taught from basic to advance levels of education as a core or optional subject. In this context, this article has investigated challenges faced by English teachers in teaching English in multilingual classes of Nepal. The article has also attempted to explore the strategies employed by teachers to deal with the challenges that they faced. To achieve these objectives, explanatory sequential mixed research design was used. Eighty basic level English language teachers from forty different (2 from each) schools of Kaski district were selected purposively. The data was collected through survey questionnaires, interview and classroom observation. The research showed that linguistic diversity, students classroom behavior and demotivation towards English, uncontextual and lengthy syllabus, lack of teachers' involvement in curriculum designing process and refresher courses programmes were the major challenges that the teachers have faced while teaching English. The research also indicated that the use of translation, use of increasing reading materials, managing rewards to the students, and repetition of the text were the major strategies that teachers employed to cope with the challenges in multilingual contexts. This implies that the policy makers, curriculum designers, and administrators should train the teachers to address these issues that are related to teaching English in a multilingual context like in Nepal.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji kinerja saham syariah di Bursa Efek Indonesia melalui indeks ISSI, JII, dan portofolio yang dibentuk secara acak dari kelompok saham syariah kemudian membandingkannya dengan kinerja portofolio konvensional melalui tujuh indeks dan portofolio yang dibentuk secara acak dari kelompok saham konvensional. Penelitian ini juga menguji faktor-faktor fundamental perusahaan yang memengaruhi kinerja saham syariah dan membandingkannya dengan faktor yang memengaruhi kinerja saham konvensional. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian berjumlah 355 emiten terdiri dari 134 emiten saham syariah dan 221 emiten saham konvensional pada periode waktu 2011—2015. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengukur kinerja saham adalah risk-adjusted model dengan empat pendekatan Sharpe, Treynor, M2, dan Jensen’ Alpha. Analisis regresi linear berganda menggunakan metode Ordinary Least Square (OLS) dengan Cross Random Model. Hasil pengujian dan pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa secara umum sepanjang 2011—2015 kinerja portofolio saham konvensional mengungguli portofolio syariah. Namun demikian pada periode krisis global akhir tahun 2011 dan 2012 kinerja portofolio saham syariah mengungguli portofolio saham konvensional, ini memperkuat hasil penelitian yang mengatakan bahwa kinerja saham syariah lebih baik ketika krisis karena investor melakukan mekanisme hedging. Faktor fundamental yang memengaruhi kinerja saham syariah berbeda dengan faktor yang memengaruhi kinerja saham konvensional, terutama pada debt to equity ratio, yang menunjukkan hubungan positif signifikan pada saham syariah dan hasil sebaliknya pada saham konvensional menunjukan hubungan negatif walaupun tidak signifikan secara statistik.
The 1991 constitution of independent Transnistria
Authors: Serzhanova Viktoria
Published: June 2020

The legal status of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, which declared its independence in 1990, since that time has unchangingly remained ambiguous. The state has factually existed for almost thirty years so far, although it has not hitherto been recognised by any member of the international community. Its status from the constitutional law viewpoint is contradictory to the one analysed in the light of the international law, according to which Transnistria still formally remains a Moldavian autonomous region of a special status. This paper, being a part of the wider research carried out over Transnistria’s legal status, aims at establishing its primary political system’s grounds. Therefore, it comprises the analysis of the origin and development of Transnistrian first independent basic law, which appeared to be the foundation of the abovementioned solutions. The paper undertakes an attempt to not only analyse, but also evaluate the political system’s primary principles and development of Transnistria as a newly created state in the first years of its functioning. The subject of the work is particularly focused on the shape and content of the first constitution of Transnistria of 1991, which bound during the first four years of the state’s independence till the presently binding constitution of 1995 entered into force, along with observing of how its functioning in practice shaped the constitutional and political reality.

Abstract

The effect of physical and mental health on the feelings of personal welfare are known as health-related quality of life. Infection with hepatitis B virus is a major global health problem. Health-related quality of life was emerged as an important consideration in the care of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. The aim of the current study was to measure health-related quality of life among a sample of chronic hepatitis B patients in AL-Najaf city/Iraq. The current study was cross-sectional study carried out on (104) already diagnosed chronic viral hepatitis B patients who attended the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Center/Al-Sader Medical City/Najaf during November 2018 to May 2019. In addition, 100 apparently healthy subjects were included as a control group. Health related quality of life was measured using the Arabic version of the Short Form 36. The health-related quality of life of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection was affected by the disease in a highly significant manner where the median scores for all health-related quality of life domains were significantly lower in patients than in controls. Physical functioning score was negatively correlated to age, significantly higher in male patients, significantly higher in high educated patients, significantly higher in single patients, and significantly higher in patients with no children. Role limitation due to physical health score was negatively correlated to age, significantly higher in those with no children. Energy/fatigue score was negatively correlated to age, and significantly higher in male patients. Social functioning score was significantly higher in male patients. Pain score was negatively correlated with age. Physical functioning score was negatively correlated to serum albumin. Social functioning and general health score were negatively correlated to viral load. In conclusion, chronic hepatitis B patients showed significantly lower health-related quality of life scores in various domains compared to healthy control subjects in AL-Najaf province /Iraq.

Authors: Hassan Ali F. , H. Jasem Nibras
Published: June 2020

Genetic material is the most important component of cells because it contains the genetic information; hence any disruption to the structure chromosome of cells could lead to very bad results. Genotoxicity use to evaluate the safety of any chemical compounds on genetic materials. Artificial food flavoring additive are chemical substances to produce specific placebo effects added to foods but impart specific flavor to it.

The present study evaluates the genotoxic effect of artificial food flavoring additive on structure of chromosomes at three different concentrations (50%, 100%and 150%) on both bone marrow cells and spleen cells in mice for fourteen successive days. It was found that artificial food flavoring additive at concentration (50% and 100%) show not significant increase in total chromosomal aberration in both bone marrow cells and spleen cells when compare to negative control (p>0.05) meanwhile at concentration 150% it causes a significant increase when compare to negative control (p<0.05) .The results have been showed that artificial food flavoring additive had a genotoxic effect at (50%, 100% and 150%).
Enhancement of Aqueous Solubility and Dissolution Rate of Etoricoxib by Solid Dispersion Technique
Authors: AlKhalidi Mustapha M. , J. Jawad Fatima
Published: June 2020

Etoricoxib (EXB) is a highly selective cox-2 inhibitor which belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). EXB is a class II drug according to the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS), which possess a very low aqueous solubility in water.  In the present study, many trials were made to improve the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of EXB by solid dispersion technique.

Eighteenth EXB formulas were formulated as a solid dispersion using a variety of hydrophilic polymers (as carriers)   including poloxamer 407 (PXM 407), poloxamer 188 (PXM 188) and polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) at different drug: polymer ratios (1:1, 1:3 and 1:5). These formulas were prepared by two methods; solvent evaporation and fusion method. The prepared formulas were evaluated for practical yield percent (PY %), drug content, saturated solubility and release rate, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD).

It was found that the solubility was affected by the polymer type and the method of preparation. The polymers (as carriers) used to prepare EXB- solid dispersion showed improvement in the solubility in the following descending order; PXM 407>PXM 188> PEG 4000. The optimum formula (SD15) composed of the drug: PXM 407 at a ratio of 1:5 was prepared by solvent evaporation showed 7.76 folds (676.40%) solubility improvement as compared to pure EXB. The optimum formula showed a release rate of 99.8% through the first 15 min. The advance characterization of the selected formula indicated the possible transformation of the drug to the amorphous state.

Keywords: EXB, Solid dispersion, PXM 407, PXM 188, PEG 4000.

Published: June 2020

This article is based on ethnographic research in a cross-border region of Mediterranean Europe distributed between the French and Spanish states. Specifically, these are two neighbouring regions, with a shared historical past, where the presence of migrants crossing the border from south to north or arriving from other points of origin has initiated deployment of welcoming actions by humanitarian organisations and local administrations. However, these actions are in stark contrast to the very restrictive migration policies of the two states. The article explores the perspective of the agents who work in these organisations and how their work relates to the increasingly hostile climate, which is a result of the migration policies currently implemented by European states.
« Posture Zoo-futuriste » et réanimalisation de l’humain
Authors: Lestel Dominique
Published: June 2020

L’article met en évidence dans notre culture une tendance émergente qui concerne le rapport à l’animal, qui va au-delà des mouvements animalistes contemporains et qui est nommé ‘Zoo-futurisme’. Son objectif est de ne pas se contenter de cohabiter avec l’animal, mais d’aller habiter en lui et de permettre à certains animaux de venir habiter en soi. L’article identifie les six stades par lesquels peut s’effectuer le passage d’une espèce à une autre, avant de montrer qu’il est de toute façon impossible de définir de façon satisfaisante une notion aussi fondamentale que celle d’espèce. L’article finit en cherchant à déterminer la signification de ce mouvement contemporain de réanimalisation de l’humain.

O Logos II foi um projeto que tinha como objetivo formar professores que eram leigos e habilitá-los em nível de segundo grau para o exercício do magistério nas quatro primeiras séries do primeiro grau entre as décadas de 1970 e 1990. O Projeto Logos II caracterizava-se por utilizar o sistema modular e possuía um plano de atividades no qual o aluno estabelecia seu próprio ritmo de aprendizagem. Foi implantado em diversos entes da federação, entre eles, o estado de Rondônia. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem a seguinte questão norteadora: como se deu a experiência de formação de professores no Projeto Logos II no estado de Rondônia? Como fontes foram utilizados os seguintes documentos: reportagens do jornal Alto Madeira e Revista Veja, bem como relatórios do MEC (Por exemplo, “Experiência: O Ensino Personalizado no Projeto Logos”), o Projeto de Implantação do Projeto Logos II, Relatórios do Centro de Ensino Tecnológico de Brasília (CETEB), bem como, legislações (pareceres, portarias, decretos, etc.). Como referencial teórico-metodológico utilizou-se do Paradigma Indiciário de Ginzburg (1989) e a triangulação de dados de Mathison (1988). Os resultados indicam que o Projeto Logos II foi implantado em Rondônia numa época caracterizada pela precariedade do Estado, com falta de professores qualificados para atender a demanda provocada pela emigração. Nesse sentido, constituiu-se numa importante experiência na formação de professores no estado de Rondônia, por meio de ensino a distância e via sistema modular.

A formação docente para Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) enfrenta muitas problemáticas no Brasil, considerando como os principais eixos a formação específica adquirida na graduação, a político-didático-pedagógica e as peculiaridades da EPT, em que há uma quantidade significativa de professores que não possuem essas qualificações na totalidade, o presente estudo apresenta a seguinte questão: qual a percepção dos docentes que ministram aulas no Ensino Médio Integrado (EMI), ofertado pelo Campus Santana/Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amapá (IFAP), no que diz respeito às dificuldades e desafios para a efetiva implantação dessa proposta? Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral do trabalho é analisar a percepção dos docentes, que ministram aulas no Ensino Médio Integrado, quanto às dificuldades e desafios que envolvem o processo de apropriação da proposta do EMI no Campus Santana/IFAP (Curso técnico em comércio exterior, em marketing, logística e publicidade). Dessa forma, o instrumento utilizado para coleta de dados foi a aplicação de questionários a esses docentes, obtendo-se como resultados que a percepção dos participantes com relação ao objetivo da pesquisa, encontra-se na necessidade da formação docente para atuação na EPT, integrar os componentes curriculares do núcleo comum ao técnico na perspectiva da formação humana integral e a grande sobrecarga no “fazer docente”, questões que refletem na dificuldade de realização do projeto do EMI.

No intuito de oportunizar um espaço em que os alunos desenvolvam um pensamento crítico e reflexivo, além do engajamento destes com temas sociocientíficos e ambientais, objetivou-se incrementar os movimentos argumentativos dos alunos com aspectos conceituais, técnicos e de seu cotidiano dentro do ensino de ciências, exatas e humanas, por meio do debate entre os alunos. Para tanto, foi realizada uma Audiência Pública Simulada com o tema: Instalação da mineração na região do Baixo Amazonas, em Óbidos-PA, rica em Bauxita (óxido de alumínio). Além da produção de um texto discursivo-argumentativo, por considerar a linguagem escrita como fundamental na formação do conhecimento científico escolar. A avaliação do debate foi baseada na Tríade Argumentativa A-CA-R, utilizando a metodologia da Análise Textual do Discurso – ATD, buscando evidenciar os movimentos argumentativos expressos no discurso da audiência. Como principais resultados, a estratégia de ensino se mostrou útil à negociação dos argumentos entre os alunos frente às Questões Sociocientíficas e Ambientais, gerados pela produção da bauxita na região amazônica.

Esta pesquisa investigou o uso de um game denominado GameAlfa como recurso facilitador da alfabetização através do desenvolvimento de habilidades de consciência fonológica em alunos do segundo ano do ensino fundamental em uma escola pública de Manaus. Durante o percurso metodológico, adotamos a abordagem qualitativa tendo a pesquisa-ação como método; as técnicas e instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, a observação participante e o questionário adaptado em formato de testes. Como principal recurso, foi criado um game durante o percurso investigatório e aplicado junto à turma de alunos. Através da aplicação de um protótipo, foram coletadas as sugestões dos alunos e da professora da turma e aplicado novamente com as alterações sugeridas, buscando com isso um processo colaborativo de investigação e de criação do produto. Os resultados verificados foram satisfatórios, pois indicam o desenvolvimento de habilidades de consciência fonológica na maioria dos alunos participantes da pesquisa a partir do uso do GameAlfa como recurso tecnológico.

Published: June 2020

A prática de ensino, na atualidade, não difere muito das práticas tidas como tradicionais. Não obstante, é possível observar que algumas estratégias de aprendizagem vêm sendo desenvolvidas por educadores e pesquisadores que acreditam na possibilidade de promover mudança em seu fazer pedagógico. Nesse contexto, o planejamento de atividades por meio da sequência didática surge como estratégia de metodologia inovadora da maneira de ensinar. Trata-se, portanto, de uma metodologia de ensino-aprendizagem centrada no aluno, que surgiu a partir dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) e que vem sendo adotada por professores de várias disciplinas. Este trabalho consiste em uma revisão da literatura, com o objetivo de apresentar a sequência didática como metodologia de aprendizagem significativa, eficiente e eficaz, que pode ser usada em diferentes níveis de ensino e áreas de conhecimento. Como aporte teórico, utilizou-se Zabala (2008), Oliveira (2013) e Schneuwly, Dolz e colaboradores (2004), Macedo (1994), dentre outros. Os resultados apresentados por professores e pesquisadores que fizeram uso desse método em diversas disciplinas, tanto na educação básica, quanto nos cursos universitários, afiguraram-se bastante positivos, sendo a utilização da sequência didática uma metodologia bastante enriquecedora, desde que o modelo esteja alinhado aos conteúdos necessários à formação dos educandos.

Introduction: Psychotic and non-psychotic genital self-mutilation is well documented in males, although
the incidence has been reported to be higher in females. However, a case in reference to a caenis syndrome
in old woman is less reported. We report a rare case of caenis syndrome exhibited with entirely different
food habits over the years.
Case: A 72-years-old female, who was a referred a case from District Hospital Chittorgarh with alleged
history of doing self-cut down of her prolapsed uterus via vaginal route with the help of domestic knife.
Following which she developed heavy vaginal bleeding and severe pain. On admission the patient was
comfortable, oriented with stable vitals. On double set up per speculum examination showed a clear-cut end
of the vaginal vault with no active bleeding. Further, psychiatric reference of the patient revealed that she
had a major depressive disorder due to repeated rejection of surgical management for her prolapsed uterus
over the past 30 years, and she started developing a strange eating habits since past 5 years with irregular
excessive eating and hunger strike. Conservative management and counselling were done to her. The
ultrasound study of the whole abdomen revealed normal post-hysterectomy status.
Conclusion: Based on the observation, it recommends that awareness regarding the female genital
mutilation is to be created and appropriate counselling should be initiated at an early age. Special care for
the elderly women who are treated as a part of neglected society would necessary be taken care in all
hospitals.
