Impacto de la covid-19 en actividades dinámicas/sedentaria y de interior/exterior al hogar entre abuelos varones y sus nietos/as
Authors: Diaz Falcón Moneyba , Castañeda Gar´cía Pedro Javier
Published: February 2023

La influencia de la pandemia por Covid-19 en las actividades entre abuelos/as y nietos/as, así como su patrón de interacción desigual, según el género de los abuelos, es un campo psicológico de creciente interés. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las actividades entre un grupo de abuelos varones y sus nietos/as, en el contexto familiar de la pandemia. Han participado 65 abuelos varones que han contestado a una entrevista sobre 60 de sus nietos/as, en relación a sus variables sociodemográficas y sobre 40 actividades compartidas de tipo dinámico/sedentario, de interior/exterior al hogar; estando solo con sus nietos/as, o con sus nietos/as y con sus esposas, o en ambas situaciones, antes y durante la pandemia. Los datos se analizaron mediante pruebas descriptivas e inferenciales (ANOVA, Friedman). Los resultados muestran que los abuelos varones realizan con sus nietos/as más actividades sedentarias que dinámicas, y más de interior que de exterior; también, esas actividades compartidas se dan más con nietos/as a través de hijas que de hijos. Sobrelostipos deacompañamiento no parecen distinguir entre ellas, y durante la pandemia esas actividades han disminuido notablemente. Se concluye que, ante el decremento general de interacciones y el aumento de actividades sedentarias, hay que proponer un mayor contacto intergeneracional con más actividades dinámicas, por su efecto saludable para ambas generaciones.

Geographic distribution and endemism of Bromeliaceae from the Western Sierra-Coast region of Jalisco, Mexico
Authors: Flores-Argüelles Alejandra , López-Ferrari Ana Rosa , Espejo-Serna Adolfo
Published: February 2023

Background: Bromeliaceae are widespread in Mexico and present in all types of vegetation. A high number of species are restricted to the country. Jalisco is the fifth Mexican state regarding Bromeliaceae richness and 18 % of its species are state endemics.
Questions and / or Hypotheses: How bromeliads are distributed in Western Sierra-Coast region of Jalisco? What is the endemism status of bromeliads in the region?
Studied species: Native Bromeliaceae of WSC.
Study site and dates: WSC region in Jalisco, collections from 1926 to 2020.
Methods: Data were obtained by herbarium material revision and field expeditions. We analyzed life form, distribution by vegetation type, altitudinal range, and recollection activity per year. A richness map was generated. To determine the affinity of the bromeliad flora with other regions of the state, a cluster analysis was performed using UPGMA method.
Results: We found nine genera and 53 species, richest genera were Tillandsia and Pitcairnia. Epiphyte was the commonest life form. Oak forest had the highest species number, most taxa were found between 250-750 m asl. Most collections come from the municipality of Cabo Corrientes accounting for 66 % of total species in WSC. The study area hosts, six species of endemic bromeliads.
Conclusions: Despite to their restricted distribution, none of the endemic species from WSC are listed under special protection. The WSC should be considered for conservation. The tourism development, deforestation and climate change could have a negative impact on bromeliads, especially epiphytes that depend entirely on the host trees.

L1 Transfer in Chinese EFL Learners’ Use of Thematic Progression in English Argumentative Writing
Authors: Bi Xuefei
Published: February 2023

This study addresses L1 transfer in Chinese EFL learners’ use of thematic progression in English argumentative writing. Through a series of statistical analyses of the data collected from argumentative essays written by Chinese and American university students, the study finds that the overuse of thematic progression patterns in English writing is under the influence of Chinese EFL learners’ native language both linguistically and conceptually. Tests of potential effects of intra-group homogeneity and intra-L1-group congruity provide convincing evidence for the identification of L1 transfer. In addition, the study further explores the underlying causes of L1 transfer both at linguistic and conceptual levels.
The Translation of Some Misunderstood Qur'anic Words Into English
Authors: Al-Badrany Yasir Y.
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to investigate some cases where misunderstanding of Qur'anic words takes place on the part of Qur'an translators. In these cases, misunderstanding leads to mistranslation of the Qur'anic verses. Having analyzed nine translations of seventeen Qur'anic sample verses, relying on two well-known Qur'anic interpretations, considerable misunderstanding was detected, leading to mistranslation of the Qur’anic verses. The analysis of the translations shows that mistranslation results from misconception, misreference, homonymy confusion, and inflection confusion. The paper concludes that translators, besides having a good grasp of Arabic source language (SL) in general and Qur’anic language in particular, have to rely on Qur'anic interpretation, Tafseer, to overcome any misunderstanding, thus mistranslation might not happen.

Based on these features, relevant suggestions are made for both learners and teachers.
What’s in a Name? An Ethnosemantic Study of Muslim Mosque Names in Southern Thailand
Authors: Engchuan Karansupamas
Published: February 2023

Religious faith tends to vacillate in multicultural societies where religion influences social behavior and culture. However, this study has found a vividly different experience in Thailand’s four multicultural southern border provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, and Songkla. These areas are notable for their high level of political and religious violence. This study is conducted via an ethnosemantic approach to find out how the Islamic faith culture echoed from their mosque names remains stable in those four provinces where religious and ethnic conflict is a daily experience. The sample comprises 1,637 Muslim mosque names of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, and Songkla. Muslim mosque names used in those four provinces were collected and analyzed. It was found that Muslim mosques in the four multicultural provinces are named through varied naming strategies with Arabic, Malay dialect, and Thai, respectively and four syllabic names are mostly found. In terms of meaning, the mosque names are directly related to God (called Allah in Arabic) as well as Allah’s last savant, Prophet Muhammad. Those names are also related to good deeds, virtue, and harmony. The meanings of the names show Muslims remain faithful to Allah and his last savant despite the surrounding turmoil. However, some Thai names which are not Muslim names were also found in the study. This variant is probably due to the language contact phenomenon occurring in these four provinces.
Impact of Directionality on Student Interpreters’ Performance in Consecutive Interpreting
Authors: Lu Rong , Abdullah Muhammad Alif Redzuan , Ang Lay Hoon
Published: February 2023

Studies showed that interpreters might differ in performance when it comes to directionality. Nevertheless, limited research has been undertaken concerning the impact of directionality on student interpreters’ performance in consecutive interpreting (CI), a type of interpreting categorised by the working mode. This study aims to investigate the relationship between directionality and performance by adopting a quantitative approach. Four student interpreters from a Chinese university were selected as samples with a homogeneity sampling method. The participants used Chinese as their first language (L1, or A language) and English as a second language (L2, or B language). Analytic rating scales were combined with propositional analysis to assign scores for different aspects of accuracy and completeness in the product of the CI test by student interpreters. To determine the impact of directionality on performance, paired samples t-test was adopted in the current study by testing the significance of the difference between two mean scores of the CI test. The results showed that directionality affected the performance of student interpreters. Overall, the participants performed better in the into-B direction than in the into-A direction. Thus, it is recommended that teachers pay more attention to training listening comprehension ability of the source text in into-A direction.
The Semantic Change of the English Color Terms BLACK and WHITE in Japanese
Authors: Bunyarat Patcha , Tuptim Natthira
Published: February 2023

This study examined the development of the metaphorical and metonymic meanings of the words black and white appearing in Japanese contexts by contrasting the meanings in Japanese with the original meanings in English. It investigated the semantic shifts which affected grammatical structures in highly real-time language on Twitter. The study revealed that black and white in Japanese contexts were used metaphorically in the narrow sense of the original English meaning. Black was used in the meanings of break the rules, persecute, and take advantage while white was used in the opposite manner. Nevertheless, these meanings do not appear in English contexts. It is a semantic change for specific usages in Japanese contexts. At first, the words black and white were mainly used with the noun company as compounds. Then, their meanings were expanded in a metonymic manner with the contiguity of senses. In other words, from being used to describe a characteristic of a company, black and white are later used to describe the characteristic of a company worker and an action of a person. The usage also changes from a compound noun to a single word in a predicate and as an adjective na.
A Rare Case; Focal Acral Hyperkeratosis
Authors: GÖÇER GÜROK Neşe , ÖZTÜRK Savaş , KILIÇARSLAN Ahmet
Published: February 2023

Focal acral hyperkeratosis (FAH) is a rare genodermatosis. FAH is usually observed in the second or third decades of life, and it is a type of palmoplantar
keratoderma, a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by abnormal incrassation of the palms and soles. Although it is an autosomal dominant inher-
itance, it could also be sporadic. It is also known as a rare variant of Costa’s Acrokeratoelastoidosis (AKE). Its etiology is not known clearly and there is no
effective treatment. In the present study, a 43-year-old recently diagnosed FAH case is presented due to its rarity and frequent confusion with AKE based
on current literature.
Using an LSTM network to monitor industrial reactors using electrical
capacitance and impedance tomography – a hybrid approach
Authors: Kłosowski Grzegorz , Rymarczyk Tomasz , Niderla Konrad , Kulisz Monika , Skowron Łukasz , Soleimani Manuchehr
Published: February 2023

The article presents a new concept for monitoring industrial tank
reactors. The presented concept allows for faster and more reliable
monitoring of industrial processes, which increases their reliability and
reduces operating costs. The innovative method is based on electrical
tomography. At the same time, it is non-invasive and enables the imaging
of phase changes inside tanks filled with liquid. In particular, the hybrid
tomograph can detect gas bubbles and crystals formed during industrial
processes. The main novelty of the described solution is the
simultaneous use of two types of electrical tomography: impedance and
capacitance. Another novelty is the use of the LSTM network to solve
the tomographic inverse problem. It was made possible by taking the
measurement vector as a data sequence. Research has shown that the
proposed hybrid solution and the LSTM algorithm work better than
separate systems based on impedance or capacitance tomography.
New possibilities to reduce wheel and rail wear in the operation of metro wagons
on curved track with small curve radii without considering propulsion and
braking systems
Authors: Matej Jan , Orliński Piotr
Published: February 2023

This paper analyses the parameters relevant to the operation of
underground cars in traffic on straight and curved tracks with small curve
radii. Current knowledge of non-linear lateral dynamics of rail vehicles
and the specialist computer programme Vi-Rail were used to build
models and perform simulation calculations. A solution was proposed to
enable passive control of wheelsets with very high guiding stiffnesses,
without the need for systems to force the axles of the wheelsets to align
radially in a curved track. This effect was achieved by varying the
guidance stiffness in the horizontal plane of the frame of each bogie. The
adopted course of action offers simplicity of solution, low manufacturing
costs, high critical speed on straight track and extended service life of
the metro wagons resulting from reduced mechanical wear of wheels and
rails. A multi-criteria evaluation was carried out, confirming improved
bogie controllability and reduced impact of the metro wagon wheelsets
on the curved track. Comparisons were made of the design volumes for
metro model wagons with bogies with symmetric and unsymmetric axleguide stiffness arrangements of the wheelsets.
Intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on continuous wavelet
transform-multiscale feature fusion and improved channel attention mechanism
Authors: Zhang Jiqiang , Kong Xiangwei , Cheng Liu , Qi Haochen , Yu Mingzhu
Published: February 2023

Accurate fault diagnosis is critical to operating rotating machinery safely
and efficiently. Traditional fault information description methods rely on
experts to extract statistical features, which inevitably leads to the
problem of information loss. As a result, this paper proposes an
intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on a continuous
wavelet transform(CWT)-multiscale feature fusion and an improved
channel attention mechanism. Different from traditional CNNs, CWT
can convert the 1-D signals into 2-D images, and extract the wavelet
power spectrum, which is conducive to model recognition. In this case,
the multiscale feature fusion was implemented by the parallel 2-D
convolutional neural networks to accomplish deeper feature fusion.
Meanwhile, the channel attention mechanism is improved by converting
from compressed to extended ways in the excitation block to better
obtain the evaluation score of the channel. The proposed model has been
validated using two bearing datasets, and the results show that it has
excellent accuracy compared to existing methods.
A risk assessment method of aircraft structure damage maintenance interval Indexed by:
considering fatigue crack growth and detection rate
Authors: Zhang Zhuzhu , Mao Haitao , Liu Yulin , Jiao Peng , Hu Wenlin , Shen Pei
Published: February 2023

The accurate assessment of aircraft structure damage risk is the premise
of establishing reasonable, economic and reliable maintenance intervals.
While many studies have proposed damage risk assessment methods for
aircraft structures, these methods lack the quantification of risk. This
paper proposed a risk assessment method of aircraft structure damage
maintenance interval considering fatigue crack growth rate and crack
detection rate. The damage process of aircraft structure was simulated
by Monte Carlo simulation to realize the quantitative assessment of
aircraft structure damage risk and maintenance interval. Taking an
aircraft fleet as an example, the damage risk of its wing structure was
simulated and analyzed. The results show that if the risk is controlled
within a reasonable range, the maintenance interval should be shortened
to 16 flight hours. At the same time, through the analysis of the risk
classification standard and the crack detection rate, the quantitative
evaluation of the risk classification standard was realized.
Study of transitional phenomena in rail vehicle dynamics in relation to the
reliability and operational state of the continuous welded rail track in terms of
rail joints
Authors: Groll Witold , Sowiński Bogdan , Konowrocki Robert
Published: February 2023

This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical studies on
reliability and monitoring issues of railway infrastructure in terms of
safety and operation. The state of knowledge concerning methods of
assessing track condition, in particular rail joints used in continuous
welded rail track of railway lines is described. Experimental results of
rail joints used in track transition zones and the results of numerical
studies/tests of the rail vehicle-track model are outlined. It is
demonstrated, basing on the analyses of the experimental results, that not
only should the rail joints used in continuous welded rail track be
diagnosed during their acceptance, but also during their operation. It is
proven that the currently used methodology for testing welded rail joints
applied during acceptance testing of contact track is not fully correct and
leads to misinterpretation of the measurement results. Moreover, the
results of numerical simulation tests presented in this paper confirm the
possibility of diagnosing the condition of rail joints by any vehicle
passing over such a track equipped with a suitable system.

Published: February 2023

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a life-threatening condition resulting from a blockage of the cavernous sinus by a blood clot. This pathology occurs extremely rarely but is a danger to life at any age. Information about deaths from cavernous sinus thrombosis is limited and unclear in the special forensic medical literature.
This study analyzed the results of the forensic medical examination of the corpse of a 35-year-old woman. This work outlines all stages of treatment and observation of the patient. Disease development and progression, which eventually led to a fatal outcome, were described in stages.
The research and results were able to confirm the cause of death. Cavernous sinus thrombosis and other cerebral sinus thrombosis, as a complication of the main, timely undiagnosed, and untreated disease, is a significant problem even in modern multidisciplinary medical institutions and often causes deaths in clinical practice.

Published: February 2023

O Rio Branco está no cotidiano dos habitantes das principais cidades do estado de Roraima, entre elas, a capital Boa Vista, que se originou a partir desse rio. As cidades ribeirinhas representam o início da ocupação urbana amazônica devido a relação direta com a água, assim como, modo de sobrevivência e vida. Objetivou-se compreender a importância do Rio Branco para o desenvolvimento histórico, econômico, social e espacial de Boa Vista. A pesquisa é qualitativa-exploratória, cuja coleta de dados permeou no levantamento documental, bibliográfico e a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com descendentes das famílias tradicionais de Boa Vista. Apreendeu-se, na pesquisa, a importância do Rio Branco nos diversos aspectos presentes no cotidiano da população, desde a gênese da ocupação portuguesa. Percebeu-se, também, que o rio é visto outrora como elemento importante para o consumo, transporte, fluxo de pessoas e materiais, assim como para a sociabilidade e práticas culturais. Entretanto, com o passar dos anos a dependência com o rio foi se desfazendo pela onda modernização e ordenamento territorial a qual gerou novas formas de utilização e contemplação deste Rio.
A Qualitative Study on Elementary Teachers' Perceptions and Experiences Regarding Dokdo Education
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Heo Eun Chul , Choi Yea Sol , Hong Yoon Sun
Published: February 2023

This study was conducted to understand the current educational situation of the Dokdo islands (Dokdo) with regard to its educational introduction in elementary schools and to find ways to enhance and revitalize Dokdo education for elementary school students for the future. To this end, eight elementary school teachers, who are the implementers of Dokdo education, were interviewed in-depth to analyze the perception and experience of elementary school teachers regarding Dokdo education. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the necessity of Dokdo education recognized by elementary school teachers and the practice of Dokdo education were appropriate for the direction pursued by the Ministry of Education. However, practical limitations such as teacher-dependent classes at the level of civic education, quality limitations of class materials, alienation in the school curriculum, and lack of class hours and depth of education were obstacles to Dokdo education. Therefore, this study suggests that it is necessary to develop and distribute modular Dokdo specialized curriculum, expand hands-on experience opportunities for teachers and students, and establish a teacher cooperation network as a way to overcome these limitations and enhance Dokdo education.
The Effects of Teacher’s Collaborative Activities on Professional Capital
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Han Miyoung , Park Eunmi
Published: February 2023

This study examined the effects of collaboration between teachers on professional capital, focusing on collaborative activities being conducted in and out of school centered on the professional learning community. In particular, this study divided the collaborative activities of teachers into three types: class observation, class openness and participation in voluntary research activities inside and outside the school. The study examined the effects of each type of collaboration on teachers' professional capital specifically. For this purpose, this study conducted a survey of elementary school teachers in Gyeongnam, and a total of 1,340 surveys were collected and used for analysis. The main results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that both happy schools and general schools had a high level of professional capital (human capital, social capital, and decision-making capital) of teachers who participated in collaborative activities regardless of the types of teacher collaboration. Second, even after controlling the variables on teachers' professional capital, collaboration activities positively influenced teachers' professional capita, and participation in voluntary research activities inside and outside the school had a greater influence on teachers' professional capital than class openness and observation. Finally, factors such as gender, teaching career, teacher efficacy, and the climate of collaboration between teachers had a significant influence on teachers' professional capital. Based on the results of this study, we suggested on the implications for operating a professional learning community based on teacher collaboration and enhancing teachers’ professional development.

Published: February 2023

AIM: To characterize spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features of chorioretinal folds in orbital mass imaged using enhanced depth imaging (EDI).
METHODS: Prospective observational case-control study was conducted in 20 eyes of 20 patients, the uninvolved eye served as a control. All the patients underwent clinical fundus photography, computed tomography, EDI SD-OCT imaging before and after surgery. Two patients with cavernous hemangiomas underwent intratumoral injection of bleomycin A5; the remaining patients underwent tumor excision. Patients were followed 1 to 14mo following surgery (average follow up, 5.8mo).
RESULTS: Visual acuity prior to surgery ranged from 20/20 to 20/200. Following surgery, 5 patients’ visual acuity remained unchanged while the remaining 15 patients had a mean letter improvement of 10 (range 4 to 26 letters). Photoreceptor inner/outer segment defects were found in 10 of 15 patients prior to surgery. Following surgical excision, photoreceptor inner/outer segment defects fully resolved in 8 of these 10 patients.
CONCLUSION: Persistence of photoreceptor inner/outer segment defects caused by compression of the globe by an orbital mass can be associated with reduced visual prognosis. Our findings suggest that photoreceptor inner/outer segment defects on EDI SD-OCT could be an indicator for immediate surgical excision of an orbital mass causing choroidal compression.

AIM: To estimate and compare the incidence and characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) in the Wenzhou area in 2015 to 2019.
METHODS: All newly developed RRD cases among residents of the Wenzhou area, from January 2015 to December 2019, were retrospectively retrieved from hospital records. Annual population data were extracted from the Wenzhou Statistical Yearbook.
RESULTS: There were 3629 eligible cases. The average incidence of RRD was 7.79 cases per 100 000 population (95% confidence interval, 7.24-8.34), and the incidences were 7.99 and 7.56 for males and females, respectively. The annual incidence increased gradually from 7.26 cases per 100 000 in 2015 to 10.00 cases per 100 000 in 2019, with an overall increase of 37.74%. The highest rate of increase occurred in the age group from 60 to 69 years. Of 2750 eyes with axial length (AL) data, 1675 (60.91%) had an AL greater than 24 mm.
CONCLUSION: A trend to increasing RRD incidence is observed in the Wenzhou area over the past 5-year period.

Published: February 2023

AIM: To assess the efficacy of ketotifen in treating allergic conjunctivitis.
METHODS: A systematic search of systematic reviews and Meta-analyses was conducted on the PubMed and Web Science of Science until October 2021 to address this knowledge gap. Mean difference with 95%CI and P values were used to assess the efficacy of ketotifen. The heterogeneity (I2) was used to evaluate the impact of heterogeneity.
RESULTS: Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1589 patients were included in this Meta-analysis. The results revealed that after treating with ketotifen, itching (MD=-0.91, 95%CI: -1.63 to -0.20, I2=94%, P=0.01), tearing (MD=-0.40, 95%CI: -0.61 to -0.18, I2=75%, P=0.0003) and total signs and symptoms (MD=-0.85, 95%CI: -1.12 to -0.58, I2=0, P<0.00001) showed better benefit effect compared to the placebo group.
CONCLUSION: Topical ketotifen is an effective treatment for patients with allergic conjunctivitis.

Published: February 2023

We conducted a comparative analysis of the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of plague pathogen strains from the 2.MED4 and 2.MED1 phylogroups, representing the main subspecies of the medieval Yersinia pestis biovar found in the plague foci of the Caspian Sea region, which were epidemically active in the 20th century. We evaluated the biochemical properties, nutritional requirements, and plasmid profiles of Y. pestis strains within the 2.MED4 and 2.MED1 phylogroups of the medieval biovar. We discovered the variability in the virulence-associated genes hemS, caf1M, and ssaJ in the strains of the 2.MED lineage. Our data on the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the medieval biovar can be used in laboratory diagnostics of the plague microbe and contribute to the understanding of genomic changes during the microevolution of this highly virulent biovar.

Published: February 2023

Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi, família Anacardiaceae, é uma espécie popularmente conhecida como “aroeira” e se destaca por ser amplamente utilizada na medicina tradicional no Brasil. Tendo em vista que muitos estudos fitoquímicos e farmacológicos se baseiam em levantamentos etnobotânicos para investigar o potencial medicinal de plantas, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os usos medicinais de S. terebinthifolia em diferentes regiões do Brasil. Para isso, foram realizadas consultas nas bases de dados Google Scholar, PubMed®, ScienceDirect® e SciELO. Um total de 43 artigos publicados nos últimos 20 anos (2001-2021) foram selecionados e incluídos nesta revisão. Os estados brasileiros com maior número de indicações de uso medicinal de S. terebinthifolia são: Bahia (23,26%), Alagoas (11,63%) e Pernambuco (9,30%). Esta espécie é indicada para o tratamento da inflamação (25%), cicatrização (13%), ferimentos (9%), infecções (8%), gastrite (8%), e outras enfermidades. A casca do caule (47%) e as folhas (39%) de S. terebinthifolia são as principais partes utilizadas na medicina tradicional. A região nordeste do Brasil se destacou em relação ao número de indicações medicinais de S. terebinthifolia, no entanto, é importante ressaltar que a validação científica destas informações é essencial para promover o uso seguro dos produtos obtidos a partir da aroeira.
ETNOMATEMÁTICA E PRODUÇÃO DE FARINHA: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA EM UM CURSO DE FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES
Authors: Muriel Layune Guilherme Barbosa , Formigosa Marcos Marques
Published: February 2023

A pesquisa discute resultados de vivência pedagógica em um curso de formação de professores em uma Reserva Extrativista da Terra do Meio no interior da Amazônia Paraense. Buscamos identificar outras racionalidades matemáticas que se manifestavam no processo de produção da farinha de mandioca, e seus possíveis entrelaçamentos com os saberes da geometria espacial presentes na matemática escolar, na perspectiva do campo da Etnomatemática. Com inspirações etnográficas, os dados produzidos nessa imersão foram gravados em áudios e vídeos e transcritos, a posteriori, bem como outros registros no diário de campo e de atividades desenvolvidas com os alunos em sala de aula. Os resultados apontam que ao considerarmos os conhecimentos prévios dos educandos e as interações entre o saber escolar e o não escolar, estes se constituíram uma importante estratégia na prática docente e na aprendizagem da matemática, uma vez que os educandos fazem relações com diferentes tipos de conhecimentos e sentem-se mais valorizados e incluídos no processo educativo.
EXPERIÊNCIAS DO PROJETO ECOLOGIA DE SABERES COM POVOS E COMUNIDADES TRADICIONAIS DO PARANÁ
Authors: Foppa Carina , Felix Fernanda , Góes Liz Meira
Published: February 2023

O Projeto Ecologia de Saberes com Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais, da Universidade Federal do Paraná, desenvolve ações que integram ensino, pesquisa e extensão num processo dialógico de co-construção com povos indígenas de diferentes etnias dos territórios indígenas paranaenses e de etnias de estudantes indígenas de outras regiões do Brasil que ingressaram nesta universidade. Conduzido por um grupo de pesquisa e extensão transdisciplinar, desde 2018, é operacionalizado com apoio da Pró-reitoria de Extensão, de Graduação e da Superintendência de Diversidade e Inclusão, por meio da concessão de bolsas para estudantes e recursos financeiros. O projeto articula o acesso, a permanência, a pesquisa-ação e o ensino básico dos povos indígenas ao valorizar a oralidade, as língua(gen)s, cosmologias e temporalidades, num processo de escuta profunda dos conhecimentos tradicionais marginalizados pela Ciência Moderna. O aprender-fazendo com os povos indígenas envolveu estabelecer o papel da universidade no registro do que compõe a educação indígena e suas pedagogias e um trabalho de articulação das práticas linguísticas, em processos contínuos. Tecer caminhos em direção à pluriversidade, entremeados pela desestabilização do reducionismo da ciência moderna, seus códigos racistas e mobilização de metodologias descolonizadoras é desafiador. Os elementos reunidos apontam profundas lacunas e potenciais a serem enfrentados no que diz respeito à efetivação da política afirmativa, aos sentidos do fazer pesquisa e extensão e às dimensões curriculares, em diferentes níveis, na Universidade.

A CAÇA E FATORES QUE INFLUENCIAM O USO DE ESPÉCIES CINEGÉTICAS: UMA REVISÃO
Authors: Souza Jeferson Menezes , Landim André Santos , Ferreira Felipe Silva
Published: February 2023

As interações do homem com a fauna são influenciadas por fatores ecológicos, sociais e culturais que ditam a magnitude da pressão exercida sobre os recursos faunísticos. Nesse ponto, variáveis utilitárias como a preferência pelo sabor, abundância da espécie, tamanho corporal e variáveis subjetivas como a satisfação, crença, folclore, mitos e tabus alimentares estão diretamente ligadas aos sistemas de caça. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo copilar o estado da arte atual relacionado à caça e fatores que influenciam os padrões de uso da fauna. Foram selecionados 61 trabalhos (1 tese, 1 dissertação, 1 livro, 2 capítulos de livro e 56 artigos), para levantamento das informações acerca da caça tradicional, que tem como objetivo garantir a subsistência e obter produtos de origem animal para diversas finalidades. É registrado que animais são usados em mais de uma categoria de uso, sendo utilizados na alimentação, tratamento, empregados em rituais religiosos, mágicos; na produção de ornamentos, amuletos, servem como animais de estimação e são comercializados. Percebe-se que a produção científica acerca dos sistemas de caça é vasta e contribui de forma significativa para compreender a pressão que cada espécie sofre, como também propor padrões de caça gerais que possam contribuir na formulação de políticas públicas de conservação da fauna. No entanto, é possível constatar lacunas que demandam mais estudos, sendo necessário desenvolver trabalhos para analisar a influência do folclore, mitos e crenças nas interações do ser humano com a fauna.
