Significant Association between Microrna Gene Polymorphisms and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Susceptibility in Asian Population: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: DENG Zhifang , GAO Wenqi , LUO Wei , AI Li , HU Min
Published: June 2020

Background: The gene polymorphisms in microRNA might relate to susceptibility of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the results of existing studies were inconsistent and obscure. To investigate the precise associations between microRNA gene polymorphisms and T2DM risk, the present meta-analysis was performed. Methods: The literatures were searched from four electronic databases, PubMed, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang. Subsequently, odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were both used to evaluate the associations between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (microRNA146a rs2910164 (G>C), microRNA124a rs531564 (C>G)) and risk of T2DM in Asian population. Results: Totally, there were 4 studies included in our present analysis in the language of English and Chinese. There were partly significant associations between susceptibility of T2DM and SNPs (microRNA146a rs2910164 (G>C), microRNA124a rs531564 (C>G)). The G allele in microRNA146a rs2910164 (G>C) and C allele in microRNA124a rs531564 (C>G) both presented remarkably reduced risk of T2DM when compared with the healthy population. Conclusion: The microRNA146a rs2910164 (G allele) and microRNA124a rs531564 (C allele) might function as protective factors in the pathogenetic process of T2DM in Asian population.

Published: June 2020

Background: Inadequate health literacy (HL) is associated with poorer health outcomes and worse health care. Up to one-half of Iranian women have difficulty in interpreting medical information, and national HL assessment has been limited in Iran. We have undertaken a systematic review of the literature and used a metaanalysis to examine the situation of HL status in Iranian women, and determine the relationship between HL and self-efficacy, and self-care behaviors. Methods: Six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Scientific Information Database) and other non-indexed citations were searched using a variety of keywords regarding HL and Iranian women. The bias risk was decreased by the involvement of two independent reviewers assessing study quality and eligibility of included articles. Results: The average HL scores were in the range of marginal or limited (63.08; 95% CI, 59.83–66.32) in the Iranian women. The HL score was significantly higher among pregnant women (67.55; 95% CI, 32.54– 82.57) and was lower in women with chronic disease (57.79; CI, 48.34-67.24). There was a significant association between HL and self-efficacy and self-care behaviors. Conclusion: The average level of HL in the period of the review was marginal among Iranian women. The relationship of HL with self-efficacy and self-care behaviors was statistically significant but moderate.

Authors: SONG Ki-Jae , YOON Jin-Ho , OH Jae-Keun
Published: June 2020

Background: We aimed to demonstrate the effect of 8 wk of scapular kinetic-chain exercise on muscle activity in collegiate baseball players diagnosed with scapular dyskinesis. Methods: The subjects were career baseball players with at least a 7-year career assigned into either a SICK (S; scapular malposition, I; inferior border prominence, C; coracoid process pain, K; scapular dyskinesis; n=7) group or a normal group (n=16), respectively. The groups were further divided into SICK-Dominant, SICKNon-Dominant, Normal-Dominant, and Normal-Non-Dominant to examine the dominant and non-dominant deviation of each group. Twenty-three subjects finally recruited through the Sports Science Institute of Korea National Sport University, Seoul, Korea in Sep 2014. Subjects were only allowed drug treatment for acute injuries during matches or training, and matches, training, and diet were controlled by university dormitory life. Results: There was a significant increase in maximal muscular activation (MA) in elevation motion of NormalDominant upper trapezii (UT), mean MA of SICK-Dominant UT, and mean MA of SICK-Dominant lower trapezii (LT) (P<0.05). In depression motion, the mean MAs of SICK-Dominant, Normal-Dominant, and Normal-Non-Dominant UT were significantly increased (P<0.05). The maximal MA of Normal-Dominant LT was significantly increased (P=0.029), and the SICK-Dominant and Normal-Dominant groups showed significantly higher maximal and mean MAs after exercise compared with the Normal-Non-Dominant group (P<0.05). The maximal MA of SICK-Dominant musculi serratus anterior was significantly lower than NormalDominant at pre-test (P=0.034), and the mean MA of SICK-Dominant musculi serratus anterior differed from Normal-Dominant and Normal-Non-Dominant (P<0.05) before testing, but only from Normal-Non-Dominant after testing (P=0.031). Conclusion: Scapular kinetic-chain exercise improved muscle activation in both overhead-pitching players with scapular dyskinesis and normal players.

Authors: JEE Hyunseok , LEE Sae Yong
Published: June 2020

Background: Knee disease is prevalent in the post middle-aged and associated with lower quality of life. Knee disease (i.e., anterior cruciate ligament, ACL) related injury preventive program should be supported. We examined the significant effect of different age, gender, and exercise modalities on measureable nine dependent markers in National Health Insurance Sharing Service database (NHISS DB) registered ACL patients using big data analysis. Methods: The 1755 ACL patients from 514,866 in NHISS DB have been randomly selected by retrospective cohort study using big data from 2002 to 2013. Six independent and 9 dependent variables were used for analyzing patients with ACL injuries by T-test and Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Mean (SD) (men vs. women) of BMI, high blood pressure (BP), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), and total cholesterol were 24.38±2.72 vs. 24.86±3.12 (P<0.01, 95% C.I., -0.763 ~ -0.194), 126.64±14.70 vs. 125.02±16.62 (P<0.05, 95% C.I., 0.104 ~ 3.151), 27.63±12.18 vs. 24.27±8.48 (P<0.01, 95% C.I., 2.393 ~ 4.331), 197.77±37.60 vs. 205.72±36.72 (P<0.01, 95% C.I., -11.533 ~ -4.378), respectively. Age and the frequency of 20 min severe exercise per week (Move20_Freq) intensive exercise had a significant association with BMI (P<0.05). Gender and Move20_Freq had a significant association with BP (P<0.05). Conclusion: Age-dependent Move20_Freq is associated with BMI in ACL patients. Women with ACL have higher BMI and cholesterol levels than men. These gender-specific differences can be relieved by exercise.

Published: June 2020

Background: The prevalence of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) varies from region to region caused by seasonal climate changes and temperature variation. This study aimed to assess the relationship between changing meteorological conditions and incidence of AMI in Iran. Methods: This retrospective prevalence study was based on medical records of the heart center of Mazandaran Province on all patients diagnosed with AMI in Mazandaran, northern Iran between 2013 and 2015. Patients’ sex and the day, month, year and time of hospital admission were extracted from patients’ records. Moreover, the meteorological reports were gathered. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the distributions of AMI cases across 12 months of the year (P < 0.01). Fuzzy clustering analysis using 16 different climatic variables showed that March, April, and May were in the same cluster together. The other 9 months were in different clusters. Conclusion: Significant increase in AMI was seen in March, April and May (cold to hot weather).

Published: June 2020

Background: The present study aimed to estimate the survival of HIV-positive patients and compare the accuracy of two commonly used models, Shared Random-Effect Model (SREM) and Joint Latent Class Model (JLCM) for the analysis of time to death among these patients. Methods: Data on a retrospective survey among HIV-positive patients diagnosed during 1989-2014 who referred to the Behavioral Diseases Consultation Center of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences was used in this study. Participants consisted of HIV-positive high-risk volunteers, referrals of new HIV cases from prisons, blood transfusion organization and hospitals. Subjects were followed from diagnosis until death or the end of study. SREM and JLCM were used to predict the survival of HIV/AIDS patients. In both models age, sex and addiction were included as covariates. To compare the accuracy of these alternative models, dynamic predictions were calculated at specific time points. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to select the more accurate model. Results: Overall, 213 patients were eligible that met entry conditions for the present analysis. Based on BIC criteria, three heterogeneous sub-populations of patients were identified by JLCM and individuals were categorized in these classes (“High Risk”, “Moderate Risk” and “Low Risk”) according to their health status. JLCM had a better predictive accuracy than SREM. The average area under ROC curve for JLCM and SREM was 0.75 and 0.64 respectively. In both models CD4 count decreased with time. Based on the result of JLCM, men had higher hazard rate than women and the CD4 counts levels of patients decreased with increasing age. Conclusion: Predicting risk of death (or survival) is vital for patients care in most medical research. In a heterogeneous population, such as HIV-positive patients fitting JLCM can significantly improve the accuracy of the risk prediction. Therefore, this model is preferred for these populations.

Published: June 2020

Background: New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) is one of the most important emerging antibiotic resistance. Co-harboring three or four carbapenemases is rare and only a few reports exist in the literature. We described the characteristics of the large epidemic outbreaks and reports co-producing blaNDM-1 with the other carbapenemase genes in P. aeruginosa isolates. Methods: This present cross-sectional research was conducted on 369 P. aeruginosa isolates obtained from burn and general hospitals within years 2013 to 2016. Beta-lactamase classes A, B and D genes were identified by PCR method. Modified hodge test (MHT), double-disk potentiation tests (DDPT) and double disk synergy test (DDST) were performed for detection carbapenemase and metallo beta-lactamase (MBL) production of blaNDM-1 positive P. aeruginos isolates. Results: From 236 carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA), 116 isolates have had MBL genes and twentynine isolates were found positive for blaNDM-1. In CRPA isolates, blaIMP-1, blaVIM-2 and blaOXA-10 were identified in 27.5%, 21.1% and 32.2% of isolates respectively, while co-producing blaNDM-1, blaIMP-1, blaOXA-10, co-producing blaNDM-1, blaVIM-2, blaOXA-10 and co-producing blaIMP-1, blaVIM-2 were determined in 11 (4.6%), 8 (3.4%) and 27 (11.4%) of isolates respectively. Conclusion: The finding of this co-existence of multiple carbapenemase resistance genes is threating for public health. Dipicolinic acid is a superior MBL inhibitor in DDPT antique than EDTA in DDST method for the detection of MBL-blaNDM-1 producing P. aeruginosa

Published: June 2020

Background: Salmonella enteritidis causes infections in humans and animals. Antibiotics are used to eliminate bacterial infections, which become resistant to antibiotics after a while. This study aimed to isolate S. enteritidis from cattle feces samples and also to evaluate the frequency of genes associated with multi-drug resistance (MDR). Methods: One hundred ten fecal samples of cattle were collected from Jul to Dec, 2017 in Khuzestan Province, southern Iran. Bacterial culture and molecular methods were used to isolate and identify S. enteritidis. Disk diffusion method was used to assess antibiotic susceptibility. Then Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), assay was used for definitive diagnosis of S. enteritidis and resistance genes. Results: Overall, 101 (91.81%) samples were detected to be contaminated with Salmonella genus and 86 samples (85.14%) were identified as S. enteritidis. The highest and lowest antibiotic resistance were belonged to gentamicin (n=70, 81.39%), and tetracycline (n=6, 6.97%). Besides, 64 samples (74.42%) had 2-10 drugs resistance patterns. Moreover, the highest and the least resistance were related to blaIMP-1 (n=73, 84.88%) and tet(B) (n=49, 56.97%) genes respectively. Conclusion: The drug-induced genes in S. enteritidis have a high frequency. Therefore, antibiotic resistance and high MDR to antibiotics can be due to the incorrect use of antibiotics and the lack of health monitoring in Cattle farms.

Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a major health problem in many parts of Iran. Many methods have been introduced for detection and identification of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. The purpose of this study was isolation and molecular identification of Leishmania spp. agents in patients with CL from endemic region of central Iran. In this study, one of the main loci of central Iran named Yazd will be assessed CL identification using PCR-RFLP. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, sampling was done from 372 suspicious patients with CL who referred to Health Centers of Yazd Province from 2016 to 2017. After collection samples of patients, DNA extraction was done from samples on slides. Genus detection was done using specific primers by PCR. RFLP analysis was done for species identification. Results: Out of 372 samples, 159 samples were positive using PCR based method. Out of 159 samples, 87 (54.7%) L. major and 72 (45.3%) L. tropica were identified using RFLP analysis. The number of lesions in each patient was different but 119 (74.8%) patients showed the number of 1-3 lesions, and more lesions (more than 10 lesions) was showed in 4 (2.5%) person. Conclusion: The CL found in Yazd province resulted from L. major and L. tropica as the agents of rural and urban types, respectively. The prevalence of L. major and L. tropica was almost the same. This indicated that control programs could be designed for treatment and vector and reservoir control.

Authors: ARYAN Hajar , BAHADORI Atekeh , FARHUD Dariush D. , ZARIF YEGANEH Marjan , POURKALHOR Haniyeh
Published: June 2020

Oguchi disease is a rare autosomal recessive form of congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) characterized by specific features such as golden-brown discoloration of the fundus called Mizuo-Nakamura phenomenon which is distinguishable by fundoscopy, and retinography. Clinical diagnosis is confirmed through genetic test. Two known genes in pathogenesis of Oguchi disease are SAG and GRK1. A 35-year-old Iranian male exhibiting the clinical features of congenital stationary night blindness, was referred to the genetic clinic of Dr. Farhud, Tehran, Iran in 2012 and examined. Ophthalmic examination including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, perimetry and funduscopy was performed. Additionally, the full-field electroretinography and molecular testing for congenital stationary night blindness were performed. Molecular genetic tests, including the analysis of GSK1 and SAG genes exon-intron boundaries were performed for this patient and his family. According to the sequencing results, we did not find any mutation in GSK1 gene. However, a new homozygote mutation at location chr2:233320735, c.517delC, p.P96LfsX28 was identified in exon four of SAG gene. This deletion causes a frame shift mutation, and premature stop codon that results in deletion of about 281 amino acid residues of S-antigen visual arrestin protein (from entire C-terminal). This mutation was also found in patient’s parents and one of his sister as heterozygote form. This is the first molecular evidence for SAG gene mutation in an Iranian family affected with Oguchi disease type 1. The identification of the new c.517delC, p.P96LfsX28 mutation in this family with Oguchi disease can confirm the pathogenicity of this variant.

DISLEXIA: CONCEITO, DIAGNÓSTICO E ESTRATÉGIAS PEDAGÓGICAS
Authors: Alves Renata Cristina
Published: June 2020

Os transtornos de aprendizagem, especificamente a dislexia, têm sido estudados por vários especialistas. A dislexia é um transtorno da aprendizagem observada em diferentes pessoas com diversas habilidades, porém, com dificuldades tanto na leitura quanto na escrita. Após vários estudos especialistas chegaram à conclusão de que esse transtorno seja um defeito no cérebro, onde a parte afetada são as palavras e letras, vistas por meio da memória visual. Assim, sendo uma dificuldade de aprendizagem faz-se necessário discorrer sobre a dislexia, não apenas conceituando-a, mas também mostrar como ocorre e quais métodos pedagógicos facilitará aos educadores na maneira de alfabetizar os que demonstram essa dificuldade de aprendizagem. A dislexia é um assunto muito discutido nos últimos anos. Apesar disso, é um tema que muitos têm dificuldade em diagnosticar e lidar. No ambiente escolar essa dificuldade se mostra mais evidente ao passo que educadores por um lado sentem mais por vivenciar de perto a dificuldade e os alunos por terem a autoestima baixa por, de certa forma, não conseguir apresentar seu desenvolvimento e progresso. Desse modo, ao ser diagnosticado numa sala de aula alunos com dislexia, cabe ao educador junto às demais partes envolvidas – pais, equipe pedagógica – desenvolver práticas, estratégias pedagógicas específicas para o desenvolvimento dos mesmos. Essas ações não só evitarão que se criem rótulos para tais alunos por causa de suas dificuldades de aprendizagem, mas também fará com que os mesmos por meio do desenvolvimento e conhecimento que venham a adquirir, os tornem capazes de realizar tarefas a eles imposta.

Published: June 2020

A monitoria na graduação é uma ferramenta que potencializa o ensino e aprendizagem por meio de atividades pedagógicas que viabilizam a troca de saberes e experiências entre docente, monitor e alunos, além de inserir o monitor em discussões relacionadas ao currículo da disciplina. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as estratégias didáticas utilizadas nas monitorias das disciplinas de “Química para Biólogos” e “Princípios Químicos e Bioquímicos” do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM), relacionando-as ao desempenho dos alunos e atuação dos monitores no planejamento e realização de atividades e discussões. O Facebook® foi utilizado como plataforma de ensino por meio da divulgação de um grupo fechado para a monitoria de cada disciplina. Outra metodologia de importância diz respeito à aplicação de questionário avaliativo para os participantes das monitorias, propiciando inserção dos alunos na organização de sessões de monitorias e da disciplina. Através das análises dos dados obtidos, verificou-se que a utilização do Facebook® corroborou positivamente para o desenvolvimento das monitorias, com a motivação de interação entre alunos e monitor, além do compartilhamento de material para estudo e discussão de assuntos correlatos à disciplina. As participações às monitorias foram observadas como mais assíduas em momentos que precediam as avaliações, o que sinaliza para a necessidade de maior engajamento dos alunos em um aprendizado mais constante e significativo.
ANÁLISE CONTRASTIVA DOS USOS DAS FORMAS “A GENTE” E “NÓS” NA FALA E NA ESCRITA DA CIDADE DE UBERABA
Authors: Teodoro Marcelo
Published: June 2020

O jeito de falar do mineiro é extremamente discutido e comentado por apresentar peculiaridades, traços que são marcantes. Logo, é necessário que se realize uma pesquisa sociolinguística visando uma abordagem científica do tema. Neste estudo objetivamos comparar as ocorrências da expressão “a gente” confrontando com o uso do pronome “nós”. Para isso foi montado dois corpus distinto, um com textos produzidos por alunos do ensino médio, totalizando 83 textos. Estes textos foram selecionados aleatoriamente. Além deste corpus, realizamos entrevistas gravadas mediante a autorização com alunos também do ensino médio. No total entrevistamos dez alunos do gênero masculino e dez do gênero feminino. Cabe mencionar que este trabalho possui aprovação do comitê de ética da UFTM, visando garantir o anonimato dos informantes bem como não gerar nenhum tipo de constrangimento aos mesmos. De posse do material analisamos as ocorrências com a finalidade de gerar tabelas e gráficos para melhor interpretação dos resultados. Foi possível perceber que a variação entre a expressão “a gente” e do pronome “nós” é frequente, tanto na fala como também na escrita.
VARIAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA, DESVIOS DE ORTOGRAFIA E ORALIDADE: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA O ENSINO DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA
Authors: Moreira Fabiana Pinto
Published: June 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar como as pesquisas no campo da Sociolinguística Educacional, da Fonética e da Fonologia e da Pedagogia da Variação Linguística podem contribuir com o professor de língua portuguesa no intuito de aprimorar sua prática docente, no que se refere à abordagem dos desvios de ortografia, da oralidade e da variação linguística, visto que alguns desvios ortográficos podem ser caracterizados como interferências da oralidade na escrita, podendo ser acarretados por motivação da variação dialetal. Além de apresentar resultados de um teste de atitude/percepção didático-metodológicas de professores de língua portuguesa do Ensino Fundamental II de uma escola pública de Uberaba-MG. Apesar dos avanços dos estudos das pesquisas sociolinguísticas, sobretudo na perspectiva variacionista, apontarem para a necessidade de se levar em consideração a heterogeneidade linguística, ainda é precária a aplicabilidade dessa teoria na prática docente. Assim, procuramos favorecer com este estudo, um ensino de língua portuguesa pautado na diversidade linguística e que garanta a reflexão linguística para que os alunos ampliem a competência comunicativa, utilizando os níveis linguísticos adequados às situações solicitadas, o que implica o acesso à norma de prestígio social e o respeito às variedades linguísticas.

O artigo apresentado é resultado parcial da pesquisa intitulada: “Como anda o Pacto? As implicações do Programa Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC) na formação de professores alfabetizadores. Tem como objetivo central identificar as implicações produzidas pelo Programa Pacto Nacional Pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC) na organização didática e pedagógica dos professores do Colégio Municipal Hildécio Antônio Meireles em Cairu/BA. A inspiração metodológica ancora-se nos estudos qualitativos (GIL, 2008), tendo como método a abordagem (auto)biográfica que toma as narrativas dos sujeitos como opção metodológica passível de  interpretação e reflexão (DUTRA, 2002; SOUZA; SOARES, 2008).Como dispositivos de pesquisa, utilizamos o questionário, a entrevista narrativa , o ateliê biográfico e a produção de Memorial de Formação. Como procedimento de análise dos dados, optamos pela análise de conteúdo, por objetivar descrever e interpretar conteúdos a fim de  que a reinterpretação do que foi dito, construa  novos sentidos e altere a realidade investigada. (BARDIN, 2016; MORAIS, 1999). Como pistas iniciais, o estudo nos permite afirmar as professoras alfabetizadoras têm redimensionado seus olhares sobre o PNAIC incorporado a formação à prática docente, num movimento de reflexão que nos permite perceber que o programa tem ofertado uma gama de conhecimentos que tem sido entendido e ressignificados como  necessários para gerir os processos de alfabetização.
Letramento crítico no ensino de língua inglesa: uma ferramenta de poder emancipatória
Authors: Santos Fabiene De Oliveira
Published: June 2020

Este trabalho busca refletir sobre as contribuições que a relação entre o letramento crítico e o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de língua inglesa, apoiada no diálogo com os estudos culturais sob a ótica do pensamento decolonial, podem possibilitar em prol de uma emancipação e de relações de poder e interculturais mais horizontais. Defende o letramento crítico no ensino de língua inglesa pautado nos estudos emergentes decoloniais, a fim de desenvolver no aluno a criticidade e favorecer a formação na língua inglesa como língua estrangeira na esteira da ideologia pela e para a ética, a justiça e o respeito. Inicialmente, apresenta considerações a respeito de letramento, destacando o letramento crítico na vertente do letramento ideológico. Em seguida, tece uma discussão sobre contribuições do letramento crítico no ensino de língua inglesa, à luz de estudos acerca da decolonialidade, realizados por pesquisadores do campo. Concluindo, a articulação proposta pode possibilitar um processo educacional que privilegie a consciência crítica e a reflexividade. O estudo sugere que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa, mediante o letramento crítico, através de uma prática de ensino com o dissenso e do desenvolvimento de uma tradução híbrida-relacional-empática, comunga com uma formação para a língua ética, democrática, emancipatória.
De rol van sociaal tolk in de maatschappij
Authors: Knap-Dlouhá Pavlína
Published: June 2020

In this article, the question of different roles that community interpreters play in the context of interpreted interactions is addressed, or rather how these roles are perceived. The fact that interpreters function as mediators of pronouncements from one language to another (and vice versa) is apparent from the nature of the interpretation process itself. However, frequent studies by contemporary researchers in this field show that the role of community interpreter is clearly different from that of conference interpreter; the role of the community interpreter, as seen by several authors, often goes beyond the mediation of the language transfer of necessary information, and the interpreter is often even considered responsible for the coordination of a particular conversation between participants of interpreted communication: the community interpreter determines who is speaking and who is listening; explains to the participants what the other party mean; signals this; and explains why a certain interpreted communication was not understood by one of the parties. The specific cultural position of the interpreter can sometimes also be the reason why the interpreter “leaves his mediating role”. Interpreters always operate between two worlds which are different at different levels and which it is precisely the interpreter’s job to connect through the language transfer of communications. In the case of community interpreters, we often have to deal with striking differences in norms and values. Does the interpreter have to inform the participants of the interaction about these differences or not? Doesn’t he go too far if he actively intervenes in conflict situations in an interpreted dialogue, because the other participant doesn’t have the necessary knowledge about the cultural traditions and customs of the other party? Can we expect the interpreter to inform his client, who does not speak the language of the country in question, of his rights as soon as he notices that the other party does not respect them?

The article discusses various insights into the role played by community interpreters. We start from the hypothesis that the perception of the role of the community interpreter will be highly dependent not only on different conceptual representations of individual authors but will also be differently anchored in different countries and cultures.
The importance of media literacy education: How Lithuanian students evaluate online news content credibility
Authors: Šuminas Andrius , Jastramskis Deimantas
Published: June 2020

Nowadays, when the flow of fake news in traditional media and on social media plat-forms has increased dramatically, media and information literacy (MIL) skills are more important than ever. MIL promotes the critical thinking skills that enable people to make independent choices, in particular how to evaluate and choose different information sources and channels, as well as how to interpret the news and information received through those channels. This article explores how young people in Lithuania evaluate the trustworthiness of news. Two groups of students were selected for the experiment: young people who had participated in a basic course in MIL, and young people whose learning was minimally related to MIL. The study was conducted using a survey and eye-tracking device that enabled researchers to record and analyse readers’ real behaviour and to identify the dis-tribution of attention, i.e. the concentration of sight and time spent on particular news elements. The research results show a clear difference between these two groups and thus confirm the importance of media literacy education.
Fact-checking initiatives as promoters of media and information literacy: The case of Poland
Authors: Kuś Michał , Barczyszyn-Madziarz Paulina
Published: June 2020

The main purpose of the article is to present the role and importance of Polish fact-checking initiatives in context of their educational dimension. The central question that the authors will try to answer is: To what extent and in which way do the Polish fact-checking initiatives provide education as part of their activities? To answer this question, the authors implemented a two-step research design – starting from desk research concerning the development of Polish fact-checking scene and its social, political, economic and cultural background. The second step included in-depth, semi-structured interviews with five representatives of different types of Polish fact-checking initia-tives. Considering a limited number of fact-checking organizations in Poland, the authors can assume a certain level of generalizability of the results of such qualitative research. The study shows that stud-ied initiatives are occasionally active in the field of media and information literacy, and only some of them (i.e. mostly those related to civil society groups) treat their educational activities as a priority.

Authors: Oliveira Erika Carolina Cunha Rizza de , Andraus Mariana Baruco Machado
Published: June 2020

O artigo apresenta um relato de experiência docente em disciplina oferecida pelas autoras junto ao curso de Bacharelado em Dança e ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Artes da Cena da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) durante o primeiro semestre de 2019. Tratou-se de disciplina oferecida conjuntamente para duas turmas, de graduação e de pós-graduação, em que foi realizada uma série de programas performativos no espaço do campus universitário no intuito de efetivar ações, no campo da performance, que pudessem promover diálogo entre pensamentos divergentes do ponto de vista político e da vida em comunidade, tendo como hipótese que uma abordagem acolhedora das contradições do campus tem o potencial de auxiliar a comunidade deste campus a se preparar para repensar o devir sensibilizada pela arte.

Authors: Kusumawardhana Indra
Published: June 2020

The International Relations Study has undergone many changes in its dynamics,especially in view of the dynamic conditions of world politics. It directly influences the development of the IR study. This paper discusses how the theory of complex systems explain the dynamics of the international system after the end of the Cold War. Through the theory, the author seeks to see the changes that occur in interstate interaction, especially in the framework of thinking about the interests of each country. Interaction between countries then encourage the existence of different systems between one another, depending on how the country chooses interaction groups. The author also seeks the inter-state interaction that formed into an international system can be studied from the transition process to change the direction of interaction to see how the true international system is formed through the views of the theory of complex systems.
REPRESENTATION OF THE NEW REGIME TRANSITION TOWARDS THE REFORMATION ERA IN THE TEMBOK PAK RAMBO SHORT STORY BY TAUFIK IKHRAM JAMIL: INTERTEXTUALITY STUDY
Authors: Sukmawati Ni Luh Ayu
Published: June 2020

The transition era between the New Order Era to the Reformation Era in Indonesia in 1998 became one of the popular themes for Indonesian writers. One of the works entitled Tembok Pak Rambo inserted elements of historical facts that occurred in Indonesia. The representation of the obscurity of the new order in this short story cannot be read only with heuristic readings, therefore a theory is needed to explore more profound the significance of the story. This paper utilizes the intertextuality approach in dismantling the veiled meanings in the story. The results showed that the short story represents two Indonesian leaders in the era of the new order transition to the reform era. This representation appears when aligned with a book called The Long Way of Indonesia Towards Democracy written by B. J. Habibie. Moreover, the short story titled Tembok Pak Rambo is not just about the hegemony between the ruler to his subordinates, but how the Indonesian writers were trying to criticism on the government and the historical facts that happened in 1998.
THE SURVIVAL OF TRADITIONAL MUSIC AND ITS CURRENT APPEAL IN CENTRAL THAILAND
Authors: Zaimi Zamira Najla Binti
Published: June 2020

Traditional music in Central Thai society is a rich piece of culture that uncovers much about day to day existence in the society. This study investigates the factors contributing to the music’s declining appeal to the local people. It focuses on  customary music in five focal regions of Thailand. In collecting the data, I combined survey, interviews, and observation. The analysis shows that the popularity and appeal of customary music in Central Thailand is declining. The decline is partly caused by the wide impacts of Western cultures and music on Thai society.  Moreover, there are not many youngsters who are keen on preserving the existence of the traditional music. This is coupled with the absence of the government in supporting the survival of the music. It is pity as the folk music is very much in tune with the everyday life of  Central Thai society. However, in order to survive it requires modernization and adaptation with the changing dynamics of the society.
Les enjeux des productions animales dans les pays du Sud
Authors: FAYE B. , ALARY V.
Published: June 2020

Dans les pays du Sud, les productions animales prennent une place de plus en plus grande, nécessitant de procéder à une amélioration quantitative et qualitative des capacités de production sans commune mesure avec les décennies précédentes. Contrastant avec la stagnation relative observée en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, cette progression résulte d’une forte augmentation de la demande, liée elle-même à la croissance démographique et, dans certains, cas aux changements de comportement alimentaire des populations de plus en plus urbanisées. Les défis à relever tant pour la recherche que pour le développement, sont ceux de la productivité animale notoirement inférieure à celle observée dans les pays industrialisés, ceux de la lutte contre la pauvreté qui prédomine encore dans le monde agricole de tous les pays du Sud, ceux de la préservation de l’environnement, afin d’éviter notamment les dérives purement productivistes qui ont marqué l’après-guerre en Europe occidentale, et d’assurer pour l’avenir la durabilité des systèmes de production. Les dynamiques en cours témoignent d’une véritable révolution de l’élevage dans ces pays, reconnue comme telle par les grandes agences internationales.
