Human Psychology and the Concept of God in Indian Society
Authors: Edwards Stephen Edwards , Dufour Jeffrey
Published: March 2021

The concept of God in human mind has been and will always be a diversified concept. To understand God one has to travel through his mind and its contents. The centuries of inheritance have cemented the beliefs, on which we stand today. The concept of God is different for every human but to understand the whole concept of God one has to put his inherited knowledge on bay and look what he perceives. As J. Krishnamurti says- We have to completely come out of our psychological conditioning only then there is a possibility of understanding the immense named as God. Since, primitive time till today’s modern world this one word ‘God’ has played a major role in human living. It has travelled through the ages in human mind and to clearly understand this concept of God we have to look at our journey as mankind, without this neither we should accept nor reject the concept of God.
Multiculturalism or Revamped Monoculturalism: Exploring the Principles, Policies, and Practices Enacted in Korea’s Changing Society
Authors: Gabriel Hunt Josiah
Published: March 2021

This theoretical essay critically explores the principles, policies, and practices enacted in South Korea under the banner “multiculturalism.” The central finding advanced frames Korean multiculturalism as being a sociopolitical device that has the agenda of making migrants “multicultural” by understanding and adapting to Korean monoculturalism. The contribution of this study lies in its in-depth analysis of the rise of Korean multiculturalism in the years after the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games to the present time. The essay concludes with the recommendation that multicultural initiatives be designed to create a broader, more inclusive “we” that enhances Korea’s national identity and culture.

Authors: Babaran Martin Joseph B. , FlorCruz Nilo Vincent DG.
Published: March 2021

Background. Childhood glaucoma is a rare multifactorial disease with limited information regarding the demographics and characteristics in the Filipino setting. It can be categorized via the Childhood Glaucoma Research Network Classification scheme.

Objective. Determine the clinical classification of patients diagnosed with childhood glaucoma in the ophthalmology service of a government tertiary hospital in Manila, Philippines.

Methods. Medical records of all patients ≤16 years-old referred to Glaucoma Section of Philippine General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively and classified.

Results. One-hundred four (104) eyes in 77 children were classified. Glaucoma associated with acquired conditions was the most prevalent in 44.2% of the patients with trauma consisting of 19.5% of all patients. Primary childhood glaucoma consisted of 15.6% and juvenile open-angle glaucoma was diagnosed in 5.2%. Glaucoma following cataract surgery was noted in 7.8% of patients. Trabeculectomy was the primary surgical intervention in 22.2% of eyes, with 78.9% of eyes reaching an IOP control of <21mmHg on final follow-up.

Conclusion. Glaucoma associated with acquired conditions was the most common childhood glaucoma in the patient population. Trabeculectomy was the most common surgery done. Trauma was the most prevalent cause of glaucoma from acquired conditions.
USO DE INDICADORES SOCIAIS NO MONITORAMENTO DOS IMPACTOS DA VISITAÇÃO EM TRILHAS DO PARQUE NATURAL MORRO DO OSSO, PORTO ALEGRE, RS
Authors: CANTO SILVA CELSON ROBERTO , DA SILVA PERES LUANA DANIELA
Published: March 2021

As unidades de conservação (UC) brasileiras têm apresentado um cenário de expansão do seu uso público, em especial naquelas da categoria Parque. Este cenário promissor pode trazer riscos ao ambiente, pois quando mal planejado e gerenciado este uso pode provocar diversos impactos negativos. Se faz necessário, portanto, estudos de monitoramento e controle dos impactos da visitação, de preferência baseados na aplicação de indicadores, como os indicadores sociais, que podem ser de grande utilidade para a compreensão das relações das pessoas entre si e com o ambiente visitado. O presente estudo avalia os impactos da visitação em trilhas do Parque Natural Morro do Osso (PNMO), UC de proteção integral localizada em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, a partir do uso dos indicadores sociais resíduos sólidos e qualidade da experiência da visitação. O estudo foi desenvolvido no período do outono de 2019 ao verão de 2020, a partir de coletas em campo e aplicação de questionários aos visitantes. Os resultados indicam que a estação do ano com maior registro de resíduos sólidos é a do outono, marcadamente o período de maior visitação do Parque, não sendo evidenciado um incremento significante nos valores em ambas as trilhas avaliadas, nos últimos quatro anos, resultado coerente com o pouco acréscimo da visitação nesse período. Quanto a avaliação da percepção ambiental dos visitantes, evidencia-se que o seu perfil não se alterou nos últimos anos. Em relação à qualidade da experiência dos visitantes, estes manifestaram terem ficado muito satisfeitos com a visitação ao PNMO, avaliando positivamente quase todos os aspectos abordados, exceto no que diz respeito aos danos ambientais, representados principalmente pela presença de pichações em rochas.

Authors: Moraes Oliveira Marcos Paulo , FOGAÇA ISABELA DE FÁTIMA
Published: March 2021

O espaço geográfico que conhecemos por Baixada Fluminense, integra a região metropolitana do estado do Rio de Janeiro e, como todo o país, dispõe de uma diversidade cultural, desde sua origem. Entretanto, o cenário real conta com muita insalubridade, violência e extrema pobreza, principalmente nas áreas mais afastadas e/ou rurais, o que causa certa insatisfação por parte de seus habitantes os quais, em sua maioria, não colocam as questões ambientais como prioridade. Na intenção de promover a integração do uso público com o patrimônio natural com base em revisão bibliográfica, é debatida a interação e a participação social sob uma perspectiva da educação ambiental em áreas protegidas dentro do cenário geográfico selecionado. Foi apresentado um breve histórico sobre a região e os espaços de proteção ambiental existentes, descrevendo-se possíveis medidas que permitam integrar pessoas e meio ambiente em seus espaços de vivência. Neste sentido, foram apresentados e descritos os projetos educativos: ‘Aprendendo e Preservando’, ‘Limpando para Proteger’ e ‘Operação Tolerância Zero’, já disponibilizados junto à prefeitura de Nova Iguaçu.

Published: March 2021

O uso de imagens para orientar a gestão do uso público em parques é um recurso que permite conjugar a percepção dos visitantes aos conceitos e procedimentos técnicos do planejamento, monitoramento e manejo dos impactos da visitação. O presente artigo objetivou analisar imagens obtidas no Costão de Itacoatiara do Parque Estadual da Serra da Tiririca (PESET), bem como avaliar a possibilidade de uso da metodologia para a gestão do uso público em parques. Foram selecionadas para a avaliação, as primeiras 100 imagens da lista apresentada pela plataforma de busca do google images. Foram estabelecidas categorias e indicadores, para contabilizar o número de imagens. Os procedimentos foram replicados por cinco pesquisadores. A maioria das imagens obtidas pela pesquisa foi registrada no Costão de Itacoatiara. O segundo maior número de registros também aconteceu dentro do PESET. A atração é primordialmente visitada por pessoas sozinhas ou em dupla. O número de fotos da paisagem formou parte significativa dos registros e remetem ao objetivo da visita, que é a sua contemplação ou pelo menos a demonstração de uma postura contemplativa. A análise dos dados corroborou com o perfil comportamental dos visitantes, como já observado por outros pesquisadores. Não houve diferenças significativas na análise entre avaliadores. Identificou-se também a necessidade de implantação de um programa de Educação e Interpretação Ambiental no Costão de Itacoatiara

Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity following Peribulbar Block: A Case Report
Authors: Nasser Abdul , Raja Faheem
Published: March 2021

Cataract surgery is performed routinely under regional orbital blocks including retrobulbar and peribulbar blocks. Several complications have been reported while performing these blocks, the most significant of which is the local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST). The symptoms and signs present in a varied spectrum, but every such case requires early recognition and immediate resuscitation to avoid long-term morbidity and even death. Lipid emulsion therapy forms the mainstay of treatment. We present a case of a 49-year-old man who planned to undergo cataract surgery under the peribulbar block, who developed LAST and was successfully treated with 20% lipid emulsion without any adverse sequelae.

Authors: Boudou Farouk , Belakredar Amal , Berroukche Abdelkrim , Benhamza Messaouda , Bendahmane-Salmi Malika
Published: March 2021

Objectives: To assess the potential influence of lifestyle changes during the first month of COVID-19 lockdown on body weight gains (WG) in an Algerian population cohort. Subjects and Methods: A sample survey, carried out using a self-administered questionnaire, sent on social networks to a random sample (172 participants). Anthropometric measurements were obtained as well as lifestyle factors including physical activity, diet habits, sleep, and screen time. Results: The average WG was; 1.02 ± 3.36, 1.18±2.15, and 0.95±3.79 (kg) for the total sample, men and women respectively. Δ-BMI (body mass index difference before and after one month of lockdown period) increased as following; 0.42±1.43, 0.39±0.68, and 0.43±1.66 (Kg/m²) for the total sample, men and women respectively. WG induced slightly changes from the normal BMI category to the overweight category for the total cohort (24.87±6.74 vs 25.28±7.19 kg/m²), women (25.13±7.65 vs 25.56±8.19 kg/m²) whereas no effect was reported in men (24.28±4.03 vs 24.67±4.15 kg/m²). A significant difference (p < 0.001) was revealed in men and women for sport practicing (53.33 vs 40.90 % respectively) and nighttime snacking (56.60% for men against 43.55% for women). Positive correlation between body WG and number of meals/day in men (r=0,341, p=0,012), while for women there was a positive correlation between WG change and both food intake (r=0.170, p=0.066) and nighttime snacking (r=0,228, p=0,013). Furthermore, a negative correlation between WG and sport practicing was found in women (r =-0.221, p=0.016). Conclusions: Significant WG was found during a short COVID-19 lockdown. The WG results presented herein were positively associated with certain lifestyle variables during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Authors: Tiali Amina , Chenni Djahida , Benyoub Mohamed , Mekki Khedidja
Published: March 2021

Background: Abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance dyslipidemia, and endothelial dysfunction emerge during menopause. Objectives: To assess the relationship between lifestyle, eating behavior, and cardiometabolic biomarkers in Algerian postmenopausal women. Subjects and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted among 228 postmenopausal women (57.65±6.42 years) in Oran (Algeria). Women were divided into quartiles according to their waist circumference (WC); Q1 (69-89cm), Q2 (90-98.5cm), Q3 (99-108cm), and Q4 (108-125cm). We assessed for 3 days, food consumption by the 24h recall and record method, and daily energy expenditure (DEE). In serum, we analyzed the lipid profile, inflammation markers, and oxidative status. Results: DEE and total energy intake were similar in all groups. A decrease in metabolism equivalent tasks (Mets) was observed according to WC increase (<1.5). The Mets was negatively correlated with LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols (TG), lipid accumulation products (LAP), CRP, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), TBARS-LDL, and carbonyls and positively correlated with the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. An inverse relationship was noted between the intake of meats, poultry, eggs, fish, and antioxidant enzymatic activities. Fat intake was positively correlated with lipid accumulation products (r=0.293, p<0.001) and negatively with HDL-cholesterol (r=-0.396, p<0.001), LCAT activity (r= -0.275, p<0.001) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) (r= -0.315, p<0.001). Fruits and vegetables intake was negatively correlated with LDL-Cholesterol (r=- 0.279, p<0.001) and LDL-TBARS (r= -0.284, p<0.001). Conclusion: Unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle were associated with high cardiometabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women and exposed them to cardiovascular diseases.

Published: March 2021

This study evaluated the growth performance of weaner rabbits fed diets containing sundried soybean milk residue meal (SSMR) at five levels of inclusion. Forty weaner rabbit with an average initial weight of 520±1.04g arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) were used. SSMR was used at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels to replace soya bean meal. The result of the growth performance showed progressive increase in parameter evaluated as the level of SSMR increases in the diets. Rabbits fed (100% SSMR) recorded significant higher final body weight 1351.73g which was similar to rabbits fed 25, 50 and 75% SSMR while those on T1 (0% SSMR) had the least value of 1194.50g. However, carcass characteristics and internal organ weights measurements were also not influenced by the treatment diets. It was therefore concluded that 100% SSMR can be used in compounding weaner rabbits without deleterious effect on growth performance, carcass characteristics and internal organ weights.

 

 

Cette étude a évalué le rendement de croissance des lapins sevrés nourris selon des régimes contenant des résidus de lait de soja séchés au soleil (RSSS) à cinq niveaux d'inclusion. Quarante lapins sevrés d'un poids initial moyen de 520±1,04 g disposés dans un modèle complètement randomisé (CRD) ont été utilisés. SSMR a été employé aux niveaux de 0, 25, 50, 75 et 100% pour remplacer le repas de haricot de soja. Le résultat de la performance de croissance a montré l'augmentation progressive du paramètre évalué comme le niveau des augmentations de SSMR dans les régimes. Les lapins nourris (100% SSMR) ont enregistré un poids corporel final plus élevé significatif 1351.73g qui était similaire aux lapins nourris 25, 50 et 75% SSMR tandis que ceux sur T1 (0% SSMR) avaient la valeur la moins élevée de 1194.50g. Cependant, les caractéristiques de carcasse et les mesures internes de poids  d'organe n'ont pas non plus été influencées par les régimes de traitement. Il a donc été conclu que 100% SSMR peut être utilisé dans la composition des lapins sevrés sans aucun effet sur la performance de croissance, les caractéristiques de la carcasse et le poids interne des organes.

Climate change is inevitable as it is caused by natural phenomenon but most often by human induced activities; the impacts of which can be devastating. Ikere-gorge is a freshwater ecosystem. The impact of climate change on Ikere-gorge is examined in this study. Remote sensing technique is employed and land use/cover classification was adopted. The processing of satellite data involved the manipulation and interpretation of images. The results showed that there was loss of vegetation cover around Ikere-groge. But, flow modification was governed by management decision, vegetation cover and climate change. The resultant effect of this was the observed dryness of some parts and changes in the shape of Ikere-gorge. The implication of this is that the biodiversity of Ikere-gorge is vulnerable to these changes. This led to change, modification and/or destruction of ecosystem. The ready- to-spawn fish lost their eggs and they were even becoming prey easily. The most affected fish were the newly spawned or recruited fish (billions of fish eggs, fry, fingerlings and juveniles) that could not swim swiftly to escape into the deeper parts of the gorge. Therefore, management of Ikere-gorge should be holistic incorporating all necessary stakeholders for the survival of the gorge and sustainability of the biodiversity it supports.

 

 

Le changement climatique est inévitable car il est causé par des phénomènes naturels mais le plus souvent par des activités anthropiques; dont les effets peuvent être dévastateurs. Ikere- gorge est un écosystème d'eau douce. L'impact du changement climatique sur la gorge d'Ikere est examiné dans cette étude. Une technique de télédétection est employée et une classification de l'utilisation / couverture des terres a été adoptée. Le traitement des données satellitaires impliquait la manipulation et l'interprétation d'images. Les résultats ont montré qu'il y avait une perte de couverture végétale autour d'Ikere-groge. Mais la modification du débit était régie par la décision de gestion, la couverture végétale et le changement climatique. Cela a eu pour effet la sécheresse observée de certaines parties et des changements dans la forme de la gorge d'Ikere. L'implication de ceci est que la biodiversité d'Ikere-gorge est vulnérable à ces changements. Cela a conduit au changement, à la modification et / ou à la destruction de l'écosystème. Les poissons prêts à frayer perdaient leurs œufs et devenaient même facilement des proies. Les poissons les plus touchés étaient les poissons nouvellement pondus ou recrutés (milliards d'œufs de poissons, alevins, alevins et juvéniles) qui ne pouvaient pas nager rapidement pour s'échapper dans les parties les plus profondes de la gorge. Par conséquent, la gestion d'Ikere-gorge doit être holistique et intégrer toutes les parties prenantes nécessaires à la survie de la gorge et à la durabilité de la biodiversité qu'elle soutient.

De las directoras pioneras tunecinas a la Generación del Jazmín: derechos, cuerpo y resistencia
Authors: Cubero Alejandra Val
Published: March 2021

La mayor libertad de expresión que existe en Túnez tras los altercados de 2011 ha dado lugar a una gran agitación cultural que se ha sentido de lleno en el cine realizado por mujeres. Los ecos vienen de lejos y habría que remontarse a la primera generación de directoras tunecinas como Selma Baccar, Néjia Ben Mabrouk, Kalthoum Bornaz o Moufida Tatli, quienes empezaron a rodar en los años setenta películas muy críticas sobre las desigualdades de género, la dominación masculina y el patriarcado; temas que han sido recogidos y ampliados por una nueva generación de directoras surgidas en los albores de la Revolución del Jazmín, mujeres que sin olvidar los asuntos que intrigaban a sus predecesoras, dialogan con aspectos aún tabúes en las sociedades arabo-musulmanas como el cuerpo, la sexualidad/es y la religión.En un momento en el que la islamofobia crece en occidente, poner de relieve la manera en la que las directoras de cine lucharon y luchan a través de sus obras por una sociedad más justa e igualitaria es de gran importancia, no sólo para comprender su sociedad, sino también para reflexionar sobre la nuestra.

Published: March 2021

Medicinal plants are currently used by local populations to treat different diseases around the world. In the present study, the local knowledge of medicinal plants used by indigenous populations living in the Park of Tlemcen (North-West Algeria) has been documented. A total of 254 informants with a strong ethnomedicinal knowledge living in the national park of Tlemcen were interviewed by using a questionnaire. Data collected was analyzed using quantitative indices such as the ethnobotanicity index (EI), use value (UV), and Informant Consensus Factor (FIC). 109 species belonging to 54 families were identified and used by indigenous populations to treat different diseases. The most frequent families were lamiaceae (15.5%), asteraceae (11.9%), and rosaceae (5.5%).  Roots, rhizomes or tubers were the most used part for medical care (37.6%), followed by leaves (33.6%), other aerial parts (16%), fruits (8%), flowers (1.6%), and seeds (3.2%). Regarding modes of preparation, we noticed that decoction (40.4%) and infusion (28.5%) were the most predominant. Moreover, Thymus lanceolatus (UV=0.96), Origon glandulosum (UV=0.96) and Ammoides verticillata (UV=0.94) were the most frequently used species. FIC values ranged from 0.65 to 0.98. The highest FIC were recorded for reproductive and sexual disorders (0.98), respiratory tract diseases (0.98), cardiovascular system disease and blood disorders (0.94), digestive disorders (0.93), and general health (0.93). A variety of species are used to treat several ailments. Recorded species with high UV should be prioritized for conservation and subjected to further phytochemical and pharmacological studies.

A questão ética e religiosa na ordem do discurso freireano
Authors: Carlos Dafiana do Socorro Soares Vicente , Silva Eduardo Jorge Lopes da
Published: March 2021

n this paper, of a bibliographic nature, the way Paulo Freire used “ethics” as the founding principle of his reflections, problematizations and arguments on the insertion of religious social work in the heart of Latin American social relations is analyzed. The following works were examined under the lens of the Archaeological Discourse Analysis, based on Foucault (2000): Cultural action for freedom, 1981 Brazilian edition; Education: the practice of freedom, 1967 Brazilian edition; Pedagogy of the oppressed, 1987 Brazilian edition; Extension or communication?, 1983 Brazilian edition; and Os cristãos e a libertação dos oprimidos, 1978 edition. It is highlighted that Paulo Freire’s understanding of ethical and religious issues does not only hold a specific way of being, as ethics works as a parameter for critical analysis of different social and historical manifestations on the religious issue and its relationship with the people. It is concluded that the meaning of the notion and the use of the signifier “ethics” as a principle of criticality is recurrent in the argument, in the positioning and in the Freirean discursive order.
Paulo Freire e o cristianismo da libertação: contribuição do conceito de visão social de mundo
Authors: Coelho Allan da Silva , Malafatti Fernanda
Published: March 2021

The possibility of relating Paulo Freire’s pedagogical theory, especially his work Pedagogy of the oppressed, with Liberation Theology in Latin America, from the category of social worldview, as a concept of a certain tradition of Marxism that runs from Lucien Goldmann to Michael Löwy, is studied. In this proposal, understanding Christian liberation, not only as a social movement but also as a bearer of a given social worldview, allowed to understand Paulo Freire’s work as part of a social group that constitutes a complete and coherent significant totality, with explicit characteristics. The approach of this study had an interdisciplinary character, which associated Philosophy of Education, Sociology and Religious Studies. Inspired by the methodology of the Sociology of Knowledge, it is proposed that Freire’s biography only confirms some elements of his shared ethical-critical options, which can be deepened with subversive potential.
A Way towards Economic Growth in Pakistan: Role of Worker’s Remittances Revisited
Authors: Ali Hina , Tahir Saba
Published: March 2021

This research is directed to study the role of remittances in the economic growth of Pakistan. In Pakistan workers, remittances are considered a second-largest source of finance after FDI. In this study, the relationship between worker's remittances and economic development in Pakistan is estimated by using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique. Data is taken in time series for the period of 37 years from 1976 to 2013 from World Bank, economic surveys, and Stat bank of Pakistan. This research showed that worker’s remittances are positive as well as significant with GDP growth and also playing a dynamic part in the economy of Pakistan. Savings (SAV) and Foreign direct investment (FDI) have positive and significant impacts on economic development. Therefore, the study recommends that there should be a proper setup that will help to attract more workers remittances into the economy. There is a need for such an official financial sector that inspires recipients to invest their savings into a productive sector that would result in economic growth.
Dynamics of ESL Writing Performance: A Theoretical Framework
Authors: Shehzadi Kiran , Krishnasamy Hariharan a/I N.
Published: March 2021

The objective of this research is to investigate the dynamics of English as a Second Language (here onwards, ESL) writing and to present a theoretical framework for empirical testing the proposed factors affecting ESL writing. The analysis of literature showed that ESL writing anxiety and the use of first/native language (L1) are among the key factors that significantly affect ESL writing performance of students at various academic levels. Additionally, it is also revealed that ESL writing self-efficacy is a factor that is related to ESL writing performance as well as ESL writing anxiety and the interference of the first language in ESL writing. The interference model, the linguistic interdependence model, common underlying proficiency hypothesis and the self-efficacy theory are the theories that theoretically support such empirical investigation. Therefore, it is proposed that ESL writing self-efficacy should be examined as a moderating variable in the relationship of ESL writing anxiety and the use of L1 with ESL writing performance in future research.

Nominative and Accusative Cases in English and Urdu: A Comparative Study
Authors: Zeb Faiza
Published: March 2021

Languages show variations in terms of their syntactic patterns. Their comparison reveals the effective strategies to explore and illustrate the difficulties that language learners may come across in the course of acquiring any new language. This study aims at the exploration of nominative and accusative properties in English and Urdu with the help of Chomsky’s Case theory as first introduced within the boundaries of the Government and Binding theory in 1981. It effectively presents the properties of any nouns in order to be declared as either nominative or accusative cases in any languages. Along with the case theory, the researcher has used qualitative and further the descriptive and content analysis approach as applied to the few English sentences taken from the New Headway Workbook by Liz and John Soars, meant for language learners at Elementary level. The study presents the thorough analysis of few English sentences and their Urdu translations to highlight similarities and differences as present in English and Urdu nominatives and accusatives in relation to other parts of speech as these properties haven’t been explored by the previous researches instead the focus has been on ergativity in Urdu.
PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA DA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA NO BRASIL: A CONSTITUIÇÃO DA DOCÊNCIA NA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR EM TEMPOS DE GLOBALIZAÇÃO
Authors: Borges Elisabete Ferreira
Published: March 2021

Analisar a educação superior na Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, em um contexto de globalização caracterizadocomo uma realidade complexa e desafiadora, constituiu-se no objetivo deste artigo. Tendo como referencial teórico o materialismo histórico dialético, o estudo adoutou como procedimento metodológico, dois movimentos interligados: a pesquisa bibliográfica e a documental. A educação superior, nessa rede de ensino, encontra-se em fase de estruturação e consolidação. O desafio que se coloca é o de resgatar a enorme dívida em relação à maioria de brasileiros condenados à marginalidade a partir de uma herança histórica perversa, e acentuada com o rearranjo econômico globalizado que exclui milhares de pessoas de conquistas que a humanidade conseguiu por meio do capital e do desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico.

Authors: Pereira Josué Vidal , Barbosa Sebastião Cláudio
Published: March 2021

Este texto tem como objeto o relato de experiência de ação de Extensão, desenvolvida por dois professores do Instituto Federal de Goiás. Trata-se de um minicurso de Formação Continuada em docência na Educação de Jovens e Adultos, em vista da alta demanda por formação na área. O minicurso foi desenvolvido em 40 horas de atividades síncronas e assíncronas, contemplando os elementos mais essenciais para a docência na EJA. As atividades foram realizadas por meio de debates e diálogos entre docentes e cursistas, por meio do qual foi socializado os conteúdos dos textos previamente disponibilizados, articulando-os com as experiências dos próprios participantes. Do total de 40 inscritos, 30 participantes iniciaram as atividades e 19 foram certificados. A ação foi considerada muito exitosa, apontando para a necessidade do fortalecimento das ações de extensão do IFG, dado o seu papel social de oferta pública e gratuita de educação com qualidade socialmente referenciada.

Published: March 2021

As incertezas impostas pela pandemia do Covid-19 provocaram a necessidade da extensão universitária se reinventar para continuar no cotidiano das comunidades. Este artigo apresenta as ações desenvolvidas, por meio das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC’s), para continuidade do Projeto de Extensão: “Basquetebol em Cadeira de Rodas: Inclusão, Saúde e Cidadania”, quais sejam: 1) reuniões de planejamento pelo Google Meet; 2) aulas de dança, de atividades físicas e encontros do grupo terapêutico via WhatsApp®; 3) realização de webinars, por meio do StreamYard/Youtube, sobre atividade física e esporte adaptado. Conclui-se que as TDIC’s possibilitaram a continuidade do projeto no período da pandemia, porém, enfrentamos dificuldades para garantir maior adesão dos participantes nas ações oferecidas por meio remoto.

En junio de 2018 tuvimos la ocasión de celebrar en la Universidad de Estocolmo un congreso internacional que nos sirvió como foro en el que los miembros de la Red Internacional de Investigación y Aprendizaje Memoria y Narración celebramos nuestro encuentro anual. En esta ocasión, y dado que el congreso se organizaba dentro del seno del Departamento de Estudios Románicos y Clásicos, convenimos que sería ade-cuado abrir nuestro foro a las otras lenguas que componen el mencionado departamento, más la inclusión del inglés. Con todo ello como punto de partida, el congreso se llevó a cabo bajo el título general de Memories in Motion. Transnational and Migratory Perspectives in Memory Processes. Para una correcta organización del evento, decidimos realizar una serie de conferencias plenarias en inglés y, a su vez, formar sesiones paralelas en cada una de las lenguas que fueron invitadas a participar en el congreso, a saber, español, portugués, italiano y francés. En cada una de aquellas sesiones paralelas se abordaron asuntos que de forma directa o tangencial se inscribían en el marco general del congreso. No obstante, dado el elevado número de participantes y el interés que muchas de las propuestas suscitaron entre el comité organizador, nos vimos obligados a flexibilizar los ejes temáticos que se presumían en el título general para con ello abri-gar la posibilidad de que esas otras propuestas fueran incluidas, especialmente debido a su incuestionable valor científico.
Um novo critério de discernimento
Authors: Veliq Fabrício
Published: March 2021

Esse artigo tem o intuito de apresentar um novo critério de discernimento para a questão do diálogo inter-religioso de viés pneumatológico. Para isso, abordamos os critérios de discernimentos propostos por Jacques Dupuis, Stanley Samartha, Amos Yong e Jürgen Moltmann em suas tentativas de diálogo inter-religioso. Foi possível perceber algumas limitações nas respectivas propostas, como por exemplo, a ausência em se considerar a vida da natureza como critério de discernimento. Assim, a partir da pneumatologia moltmanniana, foi possível propor um novo critério de discernimento, ao qual demos o nome de vida em sua integralidade, de maneira que seja possível dizer que em qualquer religião em que a vida humana, animal e da natureza é afirmada em sua integralidade, ali se faz presente o Espírito de Deus.

Fundamentalismo e religião da política: uma possibilidade da política como religião
Authors: Horácio Heiberle Hirsgberg
Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta argumentos que procuram viabilizar o entendimento de que o conceito de Religião Política - bem como as experiências políticas autoritárias representadas por ele, como o Nazismo e o Stalinismo - pode ser pensado em articulação ao conceito de fundamentalismo. Ademais, este artigo também apresenta possibilidades para que o conceito de Religião Civil – que também pode ser classificado como Religião Pública – mesmo sendo muitas vezes associado às experiências políticas tidas como democráticas - como as dos Estados Unidos e da França - também possa ser pensado em articulação ao de fundamentalismo. Para tanto, este trabalho, realizando uma atividade de delimitação e problematização conceitual, definirá o conceito de Religião Política, diferenciando-o do conceito de Religião Civil, e de certa forma do de Religião Pública, em uma tentativa de demarcar um conceito, de Religião Política, que tem sido mobilizado, por vezes com certa imprecisão, por pesquisadores de diferentes áreas. Conquanto o objetivo deste artigo não seja de colocar empiricamente à prova os conceitos supracitados, ao delimitá-los, potencializando-os, busca-se contribuir para melhores rendimentos em experimentos analíticos futuros.

Autonomie und Fürsorge
Authors: Sacksofsky Ute
Published: March 2021

Durch die Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Covid-19-Pandemie wird unsere Autonomie in einem zuvor unvorstellbaren Ausmaß beschränkt. Zugleich wird fürsorgliches Verhalten zum Schutz von Risikogruppen eingefordert, entwickelte sich aber auch spontan, etwa im Hinblick auf Unterstützung beim Einkaufen in der Nachbarschaft. Dies gibt Anlass, über das Verhältnis von Autonomie und Fürsorge neu nachzudenken. Der Beitrag geht in vier Schritten vor. In den ersten beiden Teilen werden die Konzepte von Autonomie einerseits und Fürsorge andererseits erläutert. Im dritten Teil geht es dann darum, wie es das Recht mit Autonomie und Fürsorge hält. Im letzten Abschnitt werden einige ausgewählte Beispiele von Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Pandemie aus dem Blickwinkel von Autonomie und Fürsorge näher betrachtet.
EuGH zu syrischen Kriegsdienstverweigerern
Authors: Keienborg Marcel
Published: March 2021

Mit Urteil vom 19.11.2020 - C-238/19 - hat der EuGH über ein Vorabentscheidungsersuchen des VG Hannover entschieden. Das Ersuchen betrifft hauptsächlich die Auslegung des Art. 9 der Richtlinie 2011/95/EU (Qualifikationsrichtlinie/QRL), der durch § 3a AsylG in deutsches Recht umgesetzt wird, in Bezug auf Kriegsdienstverweigerer, wobei es konkret um syrische Kriegsdienstverweigerer geht. So benennt Art. 9 Abs. 2 Buchst. e QRL „Strafverfolgung oder Bestrafung wegen Verweigerung des Militärdienstes in einem Konflikt, wenn der Militärdienst Verbrechen [...] umfassen würde,“ als eine mögliche, asylrelevante Verfolgungshandlung.
Aortic Aneurysm in Pregnancy
Authors: Chin Jennifer , Lisa Bartholomew Marguerite
Published: March 2021

Aortic aneurysms in pregnancy are rare but often fatal due to the natural physiologic changes of pregnancy and comorbidities specific to pregnancy, which increase the risk for aortic dissection and rupture. These physiologic changes are most pronounced in the third trimester and during the peripartum period, when approximately one third of dissections occur. In patients with known aortic aneurysms or conditions that make them prone to aortic aneurysms, preconception counseling can make pregnancy safer and more manageable. Aortic aneurysms diagnosed during pregnancy are usually due to underlying connective tissue diseases or aortopathies that have not been previously diagnosed. These women require multidisciplinary care including but not limited to obstetrics and gynecology, maternal fetal medicine, neonatology, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, cardiothoracic anesthesia, and genetics. Decisions include screening for dissection, when to proceed with surgical management, the best mode and timing for delivery, postpartum care, and contraception.
A Word for Violence
Authors: ter Haar Barend J. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2021

The term bao 暴 is only a rough equivalent to the English term violence. Both terms are primarily pejorative judgments and problematic as analytical terms. Bao is a standard term in legitimation propaganda when the victorious party will blame the adversary for being “violent” and praise itself for being its positive equivalent “martial.” Not everything that we label as violent today was considered as such in China’s past, including vengeance. The label bao was also used for what local people considered excessive violence, such as a former prostitute maltreating servants or concubines, a fisherman intending to kill his mother, or a man plucking the feathers of his prizewinning cock. Again not all forms of behavior that we might consider “violent” are labelled as such, but only those where the use of force and resulting harm are considered out of tune with the social or kinship relationship between the parties involved.
