THE ART FOR GOOD FIRE Estudio intensivo del proceso de producción artística de cuatro fallas infantiles divergentes
Authors: Coll Julia Navarro
Published: July 2024

El presente artículo analiza una producción artística pionera por el propio objeto, su enfoque, su contexto de producción y la orientación efímera para ser destruido por el buen fuego. Desde una perspectiva ecofeminista, arteterapéutica y chamánica el artículo investiga los cuatro proyectos de Fallas Infantiles de València realizados por una mujer artista, Trementina Lux desde 2019 hasta 2024: “Un lloc en la tribusfera”, “Falliruma”, “Cos i Mot” y “Flames i Niflames”. Las Fallas de Valencia son fiestas de interés internacional declaradas por la UNESCO Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad. Este estudio se centra en las estrategias conceptuales y formales llevadas a cabo por la autora con el objetivo de cambiar el paradigma actual de la construcción de fallas actualmente patriarcal, hegemónico, tradicionalista, homeostático, masculinizado, orientado a la espectacularización y la estandarización del uso del poliestireno expandido, hacia un nuevo paradigma sostenible, artivista y matriarcal. Este estudio pone en valor los procesos creativos vinculados a la alta sensibilidad, la biocomunicación con plantas y el pensamiento neurodivergente de la autora, detallando el laborioso desglose de tareas asociadas que permanecen invisibles, como la gestación de dosieres conceptuales, artefactos gráfico-discursivos, planificación de materiales de difusión y defensas ante jurados. El artículo pone el acento en el reto de crear arte efímero no contaminante con restos de la agricultura y las sociedades de consumo, fomentar la salvaguarda de procesos y materiales ancestrales y favorecer la inclusión social sin barreras en un constante diálogo con la contemporaneidad. En conclusión, el artículo explicita la tensión entre alta cultura y la cultura popular y se observa que las fallas de València entendidas de forma matriarcal como fiesta de barrio respetuosa con el ecosistema, funciona como un poderoso vehículo para la mediación artística y la coeducación en valores elevados de crecimiento humano, libre creatividad, cooperación y sensibilidad medioambiental.

Democracia e extensão universitária
Authors: Ferreira Olgamir Amancia
Published: July 2024

Neste ensaio reflexivo busco apresentar minhas impressões acerca do processo de implementação da inserção curricular da extensão nas universidades brasileiras. Para o desenvolvimento procuro me sustentar especialmente no corpo teórico proposto por educadores como Paulo Freire e Darcy Ribeiro sobre o papel da educação e da universidade na construção da cidadania. A esse arcabouço teórico adiciono os fundamentos da concepção dialógica previstos na política nacional de extensão consolidada pelo Forproex, base da definição das Diretrizes Nacionais da Extensão estabelecidas pelo CNE em 2018, assim como as impressões apreendidas dos diálogos com gestores da extensão no curso dos últimos 7 anos. Considerando a complexidade e a amplitude da temática, elegi como dimensão central deste ensaio reflexivo o movimento em torno do reconhecimento da extensão como dimensão acadêmica e do processo de inserção curricular da extensão, na expectativa de evidenciar a potencialidade destes na concretização da democracia na educação superior.

Palavrões e turpilóquios à vontade: os serviços de streaming e a atualização das normas de tradução para legendagem
Authors: Martinez Sabrina Lopes
Published: July 2024

Redes e canais de TV tradicionais, como RTP [Rádio e Televisão de Portugal] e SIC [Sociedade Independente de Comunicação] em Portugal e Globosat e HBO [Home Box Office] no Brasil, têm uma abordagem mais conservadora em suas diretrizes gerais de legendagem no que diz respeito à norma padrão da língua (Ramos Pinto, 2010) e ao uso de palavrões e turpilóquios (HBO, 2001). Entre as orientações gerais para os tradutores de legendas estão, por exemplo, amenizar a linguagem de baixo calão e respeitar a norma culta do português. Com a chegada da Netflix ao mercado de legendagem, notou-se um afrouxamento dessas regras. O serviço de streaming permite o uso de palavrões sem qualquer tipo de censura e a redação de legendas mais idiomáticas e coloquiais (Netflix, 2023). O presente artigo pretende identificar orientações explícitas ou implícitas que justifiquem essa mudança de abordagem na confecção das legendas do serviço de streaming para o português. Para isso, procedemos ao levantamento e à análise das diretrizes gerais de legendagem de dois provedores de conteúdo audiovisual: HBO Latin America (2001) e Netflix (2023), lançando mão do conceito de normas de tradução (Toury, 1978) para detectar três conjuntos distintos de normas que atualmente coexistem no sistema de tradução audiovisual do português. O artigo discute ainda se as traduções amadoras, que costumam ignorar os parâmetros profissionais da indústria, exigem do espectador um esforço cognitivo maior. Como conclusão, sugerimos três explicações para o comportamento não normativo por parte dos tradutores da Netflix: (1) o desconhecimento das normas restritivas de outros agentes da indústria de legendagem, pois, com o advento da Netflix, uma nova geração de tradutores entrou no mercado; (2) o fato de os assinantes do serviço de streaming terem voz ativa na produção e na pós-produção dos programas que consomem; (3) as diretrizes linguísticas menos normativas da Netflix de fato deram espaço a um maior grau de liberdade às soluções tradutórias.
Behavioral Problems and Self-Feeding Independence Among Patients With Acute Stroke: A Single-Center Study
Authors: Miyauchi Takayuki , Sasaki Shotaro , Tanemura Rumi
Published: July 2024

Importance: Self-feeding independence is often the first goal in acute stroke rehabilitation. Attention deficits appear frequently after stroke, but neuropsychological tests may be difficult to perform in the acute phase, and the effect on self-feeding activities may be difficult to detect. Therefore, we aimed to clarify behavioral problems with self-feeding using the Moss Attention Rating Scale (MARS), a behavioral observational rating scale of attentional function, for a better understanding of the effects of self-feeding.

Objective: To identify behavioral problems caused by attention deficits among patients with acute stroke who need assistance in self-feeding, using the MARS.

Design: Cross-sectional single-center study.

Setting: St. Marianna University Yokohama Seibu Hospital, Kanagawa, Japan.

Participants: A total of 96 patients (42 women and 54 men) were admitted to the hospital for stroke treatment. Patients’ median age was 75.0 yr. The date of evaluation was a median of 3.0 days from admission.

Outcome and Measures: The primary outcome was the FIM® eating subscore. The secondary outcome was the MARS score.

Results: Significant differences were noted in the total raw MARS, logit, and three-factor scores for self-feeding independence (p < .01). The effect size of the consistent or sustained factor on independence was large (r = .83).

Conclusions and Relevance: Behavioral problems related to self-feeding dependence include the inability for sustained attention. Our results suggest that sustained concentration during self-feeding is necessary for eating independence. Rehabilitation focused on sustained attention is important for independent self-feeding.

Plain-Language Summary: A patient’s self-feeding independence is often the first goal in acute stroke rehabilitation. Patients frequently experience attention deficits after a stroke, but neuropsychological tests may be difficult to perform in the acute phase of rehabilitation, and the effect of attention deficits on self-feeding may be difficult to identify. To have a better understanding of the effects on self-feeding, this study aimed to identify behavioral problems using the Moss Attention Rating Scale (MARS). The study found that the MARS can be used to identify behavioral problems related to self-feeding independence, which can help occupational therapists to develop rehabilitation programs for their clients who have experienced a stroke.

Published: July 2024

The Mustelidae family is one of the most diverse and numerous ones in the Carnivora order and yet, our knowledge about their reproductive biology is scarce. This study was designed to describe and compare the basic characteristics of testicular morphometry of 70 male American mink, taking the seasonal effect into consideration. Additionally, it was tested whether the size of the testes is related to sperm concentration. Mink testes were collected during the reproductive season and out of it. The testes were measured with a calliper and weighted on a precision scale. Spermatozoa were obtained by epididymal slicing and all semen samples were analysed using a CASA-system. A strong correlation between seasons of the year, testicular morphometry and sperm production was found. An additional index was created to normalize the collected data and compare it, showing statistically significant difference between the males in and out of the reproductive season. The average length and width of the testicle from males in breeding season was, respectively, ~1.9 and ~.1.4 cm, compared to ~1.3 and ~0.9 cm in non-breeding males. Testicles collected out of the breeding season had less biomass than the ones collected during the breeding season (~0.7g out of the season and ~3.8g in the season). The study provides new data concerning testicular morphometry in American mink. Their belonging into the seasonal breeders has been further confirmed, indicated by the changes in testes morphometry, as well as cease of sperm production in late autumn/winter.

Authors: Gathungu Chepngeno, Dorcas; , Kingori Geofrey , Wangari Nderitu, Peris
Published: July 2024

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) [Walp] is increasingly sought for its high nutritional content, climate resilience, and ecological function in improving soil fertility. Cowpea production is hindered by an array of biotic and abiotic factors, such as pests, drought, low soil fertility, notably phosphorous (P), and farmers’ limited knowledge of the importance of mulching and phosphorous application. A survey was done between September 2022-April 2023 to determine the available cowpea management techniques and assess farmer’s knowledge and perception of integrating mulches and phosphorous fertiliser cowpea production in Karingani Ward, Chuka Sub-County, Tharaka-Nithi County. Data collected was analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Scientists (SPSS) software version 21.0. Frequencies and percentages present descriptive statistics, while the Binary logistic model measured the relationship between the categorical target variable and the independent variables. The study findings showed that cowpea farming is dominated by males (60%) of aged 40-60 (53%), and most 50% attained the primary level of education. Most farmers 83% are small farm-holders relying on rainfed farming, of which long rain occurs between March and June, and short rain is received from August and December with 91% response rate. The cowpea variety M66was the most preferred indicated by 60% response rate for sale and consumption and most farmers 85% obtained planting seeds from the previous harvest. Drought, low soil fertility, and some pests were found as the key cowpea production constraints. Further, most farmers59% applied NPK during planting and they conquered that phosphorous fertilizer is an essential macronutrient in cowpea production. However, it was found that most 71% apply inappropriate amounts of fertilizers as they depend on visual estimation.

Authors: Gwandi, O.  , A. K. Adewuyi, , Dia Yahaya Zira
Published: July 2024

This study examines the evaluation of livelihood diversification strategies as a means to alleviate poverty among farming households in Adamawa State. It explores the nature and extent of livelihood diversification activities among rural farming households usingdiversification indexand Simpsons Index of Diversity (SID), assesses poverty indices using the Foster-GreerThorbecke (FGT) measures, and tests the relationship between livelihood activities and poverty status using Pearson’s correlation. Data was collected from 270 rural farming households.Findings reveal that agriculture remains the primary income source for rural households, but diversification across both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors is crucial for income stability. Despite challenges such as the removal of fuel subsidies, diversification helps mitigate income fluctuations and reduce poverty incidence. The poverty indices indicate a significant proportion of farming households are poor, with factors like large household sizes and economic challenges exacerbating severe poverty. Moreover, the study finds a positive correlation between livelihood diversification and reduced poverty likelihood. These results underscore the importance of promoting diversified livelihood strategies to enhance household resilience and alleviate poverty in rural areas.Based on the study findings, policymakers and development practitioners should prioritize interventions that support and enhance livelihood diversification among rural farming households in Adamawa State. Furthermore, there is a need for continued research and monitoring of poverty trends to assess the effectiveness of interventions. Long-term strategies should be developed to promote sustainable livelihoods and reduce dependency on agriculture.

Published: July 2024

Agroforestry has been recognized for its positive environmental impact including soil health improvement, water conservation and carbon sequestration whereas, Monocropping, the practice of cultivating a single crop species in the same area repeatedly, can offer short-term gains but poses long-term risks to soil fertility, biodiversity, and environmental health due to its reliance on synthetic inputs and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Therefore, this study aimed at comparing agroforestry with Mono-cropping system. Structured questionnaire were used to obtain primary data from the respondents which were sampled based on multistage sampling procedures. Both descriptive and inferential analytical tools such as frequency, percentages, mean and regression were used to analyze data collected from 60 farmers (30 farmers each of monocropping and agroforestry) in Afijio Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. Results from the study revealed that both monocropping and agroforestry are male dominated ventures with a modal age of 21–40 years and household size of 4–6members. Cashew and maize was the dominated crop used for both monocropping and agroforestry. Monocropping farmers earn a revenue of N348640.00 and make N131,008.35 as net profit annually while agroforestry farmers earn a revenue of N398,206.66 and make N200,415.14 as net profit annually. Source of finance and labour type had statistically significant effect on profitability in monocropping system. Likewise, age has a significant effect on the profitability of agroforestry.

Authors: Oghenewede OVUWORIE, Onoriode , Patrick AJAJA, Osawaru , Emperor KPANGBAN,
Published: July 2024

This study looked at how Polya’s problem-solving approach to teaching affected the academic achievement of Physics students in Delta State secondary schools. This study was guided by four research questions and four hypotheses. The pretest, posttest, quasi-experimental design was utilized in this study. Three hundred and eighteen (318) SS II Physics students was the sample size. Three experts validated the Physics Achievement Test (PAT) before it was utilized for data collection. Mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to analyze the acquired data. The result showed that (i) there is a significant differences in the average achievement scores among students instructed with the Polya’s problem-solving teaching strategy, 7E learning cycle instruction strategy and lecture method in favor of the Polya’s problem-solving teaching strategy; (ii) there is no noteworthy diversity in the average achievement scores of male and female students instructed physics using Polya’s problem-solving teaching strategy; (iii) there is no noteworthy diversity in the average achievement scores of male and female students instructed physics using 7E learning cycle teaching strategy and (iv) there is no significant interaction effect of method and sex on Physics students’ achievement. It was therefore concluded that Polya’s problem-solving instructional strategy is more effective followed by the 7E learning cycle instructional strategy in enhancing Physics students’ achievement than the lecture method. Arising from the findings, it is recommended that Physics teachers should adopt the use of Polya’s problem-solving instructional strategy in teaching Physics in senior secondary schools.

Published: July 2024

The study evaluates the impact of population growth, human capital development on economic growth in Nigeria for the period of 1988 to 2022. Secondary data were used and sourced from the World Development Indicators and United Nations World Population Prospects. Auto-regressive distributive lag was employed to analyse the long-run and short-run effects of both the population growth and human capital development on economic growth. The result of the analyses showed that population growth has a negative impact on economic growth, a 1% increase in population growth will lead to a 23988 increase in economic growth while human capital has a negative impact on economic growth with a 1% leads to 25.6998 decrease in economic growth. Life expectancy variable also have negative relationship with economic growth. The results of the fixed capital formation and the government expenditure have positive relationship with economic growth. Based on these findings, the paper concludes that the government should increase investment in human capital and provide employment opportunities to reduce the negative impact of population growth. Government should also increase spending (expenditure) on education, training and health.
Environmental microbiology and public health: Advanced strategies for mitigating waterborne and airborne pathogens to prevent disease

Published: July 2024

Environmental microbiology is integral to understanding and controlling pathogens that affect public health. This paper discusses advanced strategies to mitigate waterborne and airborne pathogens, aiming to prevent disease outbreaks. Waterborne pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Giardia can contaminate water supplies, causing diseases like cholera, dysentery, and giardiasis. Mitigation strategies include advanced water treatment methods such as membrane filtration, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and the use of nanomaterials for contaminant removal. Real-time water quality monitoring using biosensors also enhances pathogen detection and response. Airborne pathogens, including viruses like influenza and SARS-CoV-2, as well as bacteria and fungal spores, can lead to respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, and COVID-19. Strategies to mitigate airborne pathogens include improving indoor air quality through advanced filtration systems, such as HEPA filters and UV germicidal irradiation, which deactivate pathogens. Enhanced ventilation in buildings and public spaces also reduces the concentration of airborne pathogens. Public health initiatives play a crucial role in these strategies. Surveillance systems for early detection, rapid diagnostic tools, and vaccination programs are essential components. Integrated approaches that combine environmental microbiology and public health measures are necessary to address the complexity of pathogen transmission and to build resilience against future outbreaks. By employing advanced technologies and comprehensive public health strategies, it is possible to significantly reduce the prevalence of waterborne and airborne diseases. This holistic approach not only addresses immediate health threats but also ensures long-term sustainability and safety of environmental resources, ultimately protecting public health.

Med det förflutna för ögonen
Authors: Rubenson Samuel
Published: July 2024

At a retirement it is natural to have the past in front of you, in particular as a historian. But contrary to what we normally think – that we have the past behind us and the future in front of us – all of us in reality look at the future through the past. What we see is not what will happen but what has happened, and, moreover, as interpreted by our experiences of what has happened earlier. The past has not only made us to who we are, but also tells us what we see. Studying the past, both our own and others', is the only way to grasp what is happening and to get to know and understand one another. The past shows us our differences, not, as we often think, what unites us. This we need to find out. As a church historian, I have realized that the image of the church as a tree with a common root and branches that eventually divide us is historically false. The history of Christianity rather reveals there is a constant ongoing process of unification in which differences and divisions constantly emerge from the periphery, often from changing circumstances, and that they gradually become assimilated. Thus what is common is rather a goal than a beginning.
Ortodoks teologi ved en skillevej
Authors: Hilton Saggau Emil
Published: July 2024

When Russian troops entered Ukrainian territory in February 2022, it opened up a new bloody chapter in European history. The military confrontation is deeply entangled with a religious shaped image arisen from the Russian Orthodox Church and the long history of state–church relations in the Orthodox world. This relationship to the state is a pragmatic embrace of secular power with theological roots, but the war has revealed the tension in Orthodox political theology. The state-embracing ideal is in contrast to the monastic ideal of a heavenly citizenship, which refuses to be deployed by the state. The political alliance between state and church has theological implications that continue to be present in the war preaching of the Russian Patriarch Kirill through 2022. In opposition stands an emerging new theological position in Ukraine, the Maidan theology, of among others Cyril Hovorun. This paper is an assessment of these two positions and their complex relationship in Orthodox theology in light of the war. The analysis points towards traditions of both of these two ideals in the early church; traditions that have become a point of reference in Orthodox political theological debates.
Rudbeckius, Hägglund’s Codex, and the Problem of Authorship Ascription
Authors: Tulenheimo Tero
Published: July 2024

In 1992, Bengt Hägglund put forward a thesis according to which a codex in his possession is based on material Johannes Rudbeckius (1581–1646) authored in 1611, maintaining that the codex gives us information about Rudbeckius's lectures on loci theologici in Uppsala during the years 1611–1613 and that it reveals to us characteristic features of Rudbeckius's thinking about dogmatics. Hägglund published the codex in 2001. I point out, first, weaknesses in Hägglund's argumentation. Second, I present indirect evidence against his thesis employing the two series of Rudbeckius's published dissertations on dogmatics (1611–1613, 1620–1644) and his own comments about his lectures. Third, I indicate that three parts of the codex that are particularly important for Hägglund's argumentation stem from other authors: the introductory part on the nature of theo­logy, as well as the chapter on locus de ecclesia, have their origin in Jesper Brochmand's Universæ theologiæ systema (1633), while the conclusion is taken from a dissertation that Balthasar Meisner published in 1614. The codex does not allow us to access a work Rudbeckius would have authored in 1611: it contains too many parts he cannot have authored then. In particular, the introduction and the conclusion of the codex do not tell us anything about Rudbeckius's characteristic thoughts on dogmatics. Hägglund's main reason for thinking that the codex is a transcript of Rudbeckius's work from 1611 is a date mentioned at the end of locus of the church. As it happens, this locus is borrowed from Brochmand, not from Rudbeckius.

The Politics of ‘Eating’ and Conflicts: Manifestation of Negative Ethnicity as a Consequence of Horizontal Inequalities in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Authors: Juma James Omondi , Matanga Frank , Iteyo Crispinous
Published: July 2024

Horizontal inequalities, such as political exclusion, are likely to motivate ethnic group leaders to instigate conflicts. Ethnic nationalism becomes a key motivation for ethnic groups to mobilise based on their shared primordial identities. Uasin Gishu County has been the epicentre of ethnic conflicts due to horizontal inequalities perpetuated by political decisions that have proved impactful on ethnic relations in the county. Past conflicts in the county have been attributed to land disputes, political competition, and access to economic resources. This study thus puts into perspective how these factors associated with horizontal inequalities have exacerbated conflicts in the county. The study was anchored on the relative deprivation theory. This study adopted descriptive research design and historical research design. The study targeted the following categories of study population in Uasin Gishu County: Household heads, County Commissioner, County Secretary, Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Officials, local administration (Chiefs), religious leaders, civil society organisations, Members of County Assembly (MCAs), security personnel (senior police officers), and opinion leaders. Hence, the total number of household heads is 60,318. The researcher, therefore, determined the sample size for the nine wards using Fisher’s formula which states that for a target population greater than 10,000, the desired sample size can be determined using Fisher’s formula for sample size determination. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and FGDs. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS version 25 software to obtain descriptive statistics, particularly frequencies and percentages. Additionally, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient Analysis was used to generate 2-tail bivariate Pearson’s correlation tables from the SPSS data set. Qualitative data was analysed using thematic techniques to support quantitative data. Quantitative data was presented using a table; qualitative data was presented in the form of narrative reports and verbatim quotations. Based on the findings, the study concludes that political horizontal inequalities that manifest through political exclusion, patrimonialism, and discrimination occasioned by ethnic patronage have been a major factor in intractable ethnic conflicts in the county. The study recommends transparency and inclusivity in political processes to reduce the manipulation of ethnic identities for political gains.

Esse artigo buscou avaliar o Código de Ética do Profissional de Contabilidade consoante à obrigatoriedade da adoção do SPED. Trata-se de um estudo de campo de caráter descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com dezesseis profissionais do município de Feira de Santana-BA. Dentre os resultados, se destaca a ausência de normatização sobre segurança das informações, principalmente do advento da tecnologia da informação e se espera que os profissionais da área possam estar comprometidos com as novas demandas buscando atualização dos conhecimentos e capacitação nas tecnologias utilizadas. Dessa forma o código de ética do profissional contábil deixa uma lacuna na tangente da temática SPED, visto que o é um sistema inovador que atende as necessidades do fisco de agrupar os dados em um único banco de informações de uso geral entre as esferas do governo, permitindo a redução de obrigações a ser apresentas pelos contribuintes, cruzando dados padronizados e uniformes, auxiliando dessa forma as atividades do contador. Em meio ao leque de informações obtidas pode-se concluir que são necessárias modificações no Código de Ética Profissional do Contador (CEPC) para atender as demandas provenientes do SPED.

A hanseníase é uma doença infectocontagiosa, endêmica e negligenciada, com capacidade de incapacitação física, que necessita de estratégias de intervenção em saúde. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo e quantitativo baseado nos dados obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos e Notificação (SINAN) sobre hanseníase no município de Goiânia-Goiás, no período de 2016 a 2020. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática das bases de dados SciELO e LILACS, sendo incluídos artigos com estratégias de prevenção e controle da hanseníase. Também foram analisados documentos do Ministério da Saúde. Durante o período analisado, observou-se que o estado de Goiás é endêmico para a hanseníase e que o desconhecimento da população e o despreparo dos serviços de saúde, tanto no âmbito profissional, quanto nas dificuldades de estrutura física e acesso, atrasam os diagnósticos e o tratamento, perpetuando a transmissão e agravando as sequelas da doença. Portanto, discutimos a seguir as intervenções de baixo custo mais adequadas para a realidade de Goiânia, desde a capacitação profissional até ações educativas na Atenção Primária em Saúde.
