Este trabalho apresenta os conhecimentos e habilidades no âmbito de processos técnicos da construção naval para a pesca artesanal na região costeira do extremo sul do Brasil. Objetiva-se identificar as singularidades de grupos e práticas, suas associações/conexões com outros atores (humanos e não-humanos), bem como suas relações com contextos mais amplos, como o mercado da pesca, que apresenta um caráter global. Os dados e interpretações que trazemos dizem respeito a experiências etnográficas junto a carpinteiros navais, realizadas em duas localidades de comunidades pesqueiras, buscando pensar como se operam mudanças dentro de uma relativa tradição, a partir das práticas/experiências desses carpinteiros navais, nas associações/conexões que se estabelecem no processo técnico de construção de embarcações. Abstract: This work presents the knowledge and skills in the field of shipbuilding technical processes to artisanal fisheries between coastal regions of southern Brazil. It´s means to identify the singularities of groups and their associations/connections with other actors (human and non-human), as well as its relationship with broader contexts, like the fishery market, which features a global character. The interpretations that we relate in this studies, means to ethnographic experiences along the naval carpenters, performed in two localities of fishing communities and trying to think how to operate changes within a relative tradition from the practices/experiences of these naval carpenters and the associations/connections that are established in the technical process of shipbuilding
Observações literárias de Távora à Castilho na Questões do Dia ante a obra de José de Alencar
Authors: Borges Valdeci Rezende
Published: July 2024

Neste texto, busca-se abordar algumas cenas da recepção crítica à atuação do romancista José de Alencar e de sua prática literária, nas cartas enviadas do Recife por Franklin Távora, oculto pelo pseudônimo romano de Semprônio, dirigidas ao português José Feliciano de Castilho, que tinha por máscara o codinome de Cincinato. Tais epístolas, gênero comum na crítica veiculada na imprensa da época, foram publicadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, em 1871, nas páginas da revista Questões do Dia: observações políticas e literárias escritas por vários e coordenadas por Lucio Quinto Cincinato, e, depois reunidas em livro homônimo, e se configuram numa peça de nosso patrimônio cultural, literário e de nosso pensamento. Ater-nos-emos àquelas que compõem o tomo I do livro, focando algumas mais significativas da série.
Obra, memória e instituição: o papel de Lídia Baís na arte sul-mato-grossense
Authors: De Oliveira Emerson Dionisio Gomes
Published: July 2024

A presente pesquisa procurou compreender o impacto que a coleção de Lídia Baís operou sobre o acervo permanente do Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Mato Grosso do Sul. Louvada pelas instituições oficiais do estado como a pioneira das artes plásticas na região, Baís transformou-se num ícone por meio de sua produção situada, sobretudo, entre as décadas de 1920 e 1940, momento em que a artista estabeleceu relações com colegas e intelectuais modernistas. Entender o lugar que sua coleção, com forte acento modernista, ocupou dentro de um acervo que, desde os anos 1990, procura narrar-se como contemporâneo e a cisão que esse fato opera sobre a memória “oficializada” das artes visuais no estado está entre as propostas deste trabalho.
Planejamento das Cidades e Princípio da Prevenção na Gestão dos Recursos Hídricos
Authors: Santin Janaína Rigo , Corte Thaís Dalla
Published: July 2024

A urbanização desordenada e crescente tem causado, cada vez mais, a degradação dos recursos hídricos. É através da prevenção que maiores danos ambientais, em destaque, danos à qualidade da água potável, serão evitados. Deve-se garantir à população o acesso à água para que a qualidade de vida tanto desta quanto das futuras gerações seja respeitada. Para tanto, a sociedade e o Estado possuem responsabilidade compartilhada. A sustentabilidade hídrica será alcançada se o planejamento das cidades for racionalizado a partir do meio ambiente natural, e não o contrário. Dessa forma, os municípios devem editar Planos Diretores com políticas que integrem o desenvolvimento das cidades aos recursos hídricos. Assim, a pesquisa visa analisar o princípio da prevenção e o planejamento urbano frente à degradação dos recursos hídricos nos municípios em busca de um meio ambiente equilibrado.

Una etnia mexicana frente a su patrimonio cultural inmaterial. El caso de los p’urhépecha de Michoacán
Authors: Dávila Lorena Ojeda
Published: July 2024

En este texto explicaré las posturas que han adoptado los dos grupos de poder más influyentes de la etnia p’urhépecha de México, en torno a su patrimonio cultural inmaterial y los usos que se han desprendido del mismo por parte del Estado y de los propios grupos indígenas. Dichos grupos han alcanzado notoriedad en gran medida por su vinculación a dos celebraciones: el Concurso Artístico del Pueblo P’urhépecha (CAPP, en adelante) y el Año Nuevo P'urhépecha (ANP.) Ambas se fundamentan en la riqueza del patrimonio inmaterial indígena, pero cada una de ellas se maneja desde perspectivas sumamente divergentes. En las siguientes páginas presentaré los argumentos contrapuestos provenientes de los miembros de la etnia, comprendiéndolos en su relación con las políticas institucionales y las acciones gubernamentales que se han implementado con respecto al patrimonio cultural inmaterial de los pueblos indígenas de  Michoacán.

Quiescence Enhances Survival during Viral Infection inCaenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Iannacone Michael J. , Um Paul , Grubbs Jeremy I. , van der Linden Alexander M. , Raizen David M.
Published: July 2024

Infection causes reduced activity, anorexia, and sleep, which are components of the phylogenetically conserved but poorly understood sickness behavior. We developed aCaenorhabditis elegansmodel to study quiescence during chronic infection, using infection with the Orsay virus. The Orsay virus infects intestinal cells yet strongly affects behavior, indicating gut-to-nervous system communication. Infection quiescence has the sleep properties of reduced responsiveness and rapid reversibility. Both the ALA and RIS neurons regulate virus-induced quiescence though ALA plays a more prominent role. Quiescence-defective animals have decreased survival when infected, indicating a benefit of quiescence during chronic infectious disease. The survival benefit of quiescence is not explained by a difference in viral load, indicating that it improves resilience rather than resistance to infection. Orsay infection is associated with a decrease in ATP levels, and this decrease is more severe in quiescence-defective animals. We propose that quiescence preserves energetic resources by reducing energy expenditures and/or by increasing extraction of energy from nutrients. This model presents an opportunity to explore the role of sleep and fatigue in chronic infectious illness.

Protein synthesis in response to neuronal activity, known as activity-dependent translation, is critical for synaptic plasticity and memory formation. However, the signaling cascades that couple neuronal activity to the translational events remain elusive. In this study, we identified the role of calmodulin (CaM), a conserved Ca2+-binding protein, in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) biogenesis in neurons. We found the CaM-regulated rRNA synthesis is Ca2+-dependent and necessary for nascent protein synthesis and axon growth in hippocampal neurons. Mechanistically, CaM interacts with nucleolar DEAD (Asp–Glu–Ala–Asp) box RNA helicase (DDX21) in a Ca2+-dependent manner to regulate nascent rRNA transcription within nucleoli. We further found CaM alters the conformation of DDX21 to liberate the DDX21-sequestered RPA194, the catalytic subunit of RNA polymerase I, to facilitate transcription of ribosomal DNA. Using high-throughput screening, we identified the small molecules batefenterol and indacaterol that attenuate the CaM-DDX21 interaction and suppress nascent rRNA synthesis and axon growth in hippocampal neurons. These results unveiled the previously unrecognized role of CaM as a messenger to link the activity-induced Ca2+influx to the nucleolar events essential for protein synthesis. We thus identified the ability of CaM to transmit information to the nucleoli of neurons in response to stimulation.

Исследованы способы пассивации мезаструктур фотоприёмников на основе nBn-гетероструктур InSb/In1-xAlxSb, выращенных методом молекулярно-лучевой эпитаксии. Мезаструктуры сформированы методами фотолитографии и жидкостного травления. Для пассивации поверхности мезаструктур использовались два различных диэлектрика Al2O3 и Si3N4. Показано, что диэлектрик Si3N4 эффективно пассивирует поверхность мезаструктур, и объёмный канал протекания тока является преобладающим, в мезаструктурах, пассивированных Al2O3, доминирует поверхностный ток утечки. При малых обратных смещениях корреляция между величиной тока и площадью мезаструктуры нарушается, что обусловлено влиянием дефектов. Моделирование вольт-амперных характеристик мезаструктур при 77 К показывает, что основной вклад в темновой ток вносит туннельный ток электронов через барьер In1-xAlxSb.

The methods of passivation of photodetector mesastructures based on InSb/In1-xAlxSb nBn heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated. The mesastructures are formed by photolithography and liquid etching methods. For passivation of the mesastructure surface, two different dielectrics Al2O3 and Si3N4 are used. It is shown that the Si3N4 dielectric completely passivates the surface of mesastructures and the bulk current is prevailing, while the surface leakage current dominates in mesastructures passivated by Al2O3. At small reverse biases, the correlation between the current value and the contact area is violated due to the influence of defects. Modelling of the mesastructure current-voltage characteristics at 77 K shows that the main contribution to the dark current is made by the tunneling current of electrons through the In1-xAlxSb barrier.

Молекулярные параметры и относительные энергии получены с использованием композитной расчетной схемы G3(MP2,CC)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), обеспечивающей химическую точность. Значения констант скоростей и относительные выходы продуктов реакции были рассчитаны с кинетической точностью при различных условиях в рамках теории RRKM с пакетом MESS. Предложенный механизм включает в себя конкурирующие пути реакции, из которых при высокой температуре и низком давлении доминирует канал, ведущий к отрыву атомарного кислорода, а при низких температуре и давлении — канал, ведущий к отрыву монооксида углерода.

Results of a theoretical study of the reaction of 1-acenaphthylene oxidation by molecular oxygen are presented. The molecular parameters and relative energies are obtained with the use of the G3(MP2,CC)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) composite numerical scheme, which ensures chemical accuracy. The values of the rate constants and the relative yields of reaction products are calculated with kinetic accuracy for various conditions within the framework of the RRKM theory with the MESS package. The proposed mechanism includes competing reactions paths, where the channel leading to separation of atomic oxygen dominates at high temperatures and low pressures, while the channel leading to separation of carbon monoxide dominates at low temperatures and pressures.

Authors: Zvicevičius Egidijus , Žiūra Kęstutis , Tilvikienė Vita , Bakšinskaitė Aušra
Published: July 2024

The “Felina 32” variety of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is among the most popular cultivated varieties in Lithuania. In 2020 to 2021, the height of the above-ground portion of “Felina 32” ranged from about 1.37 to 2.52 m. In the less favorable year of 2021, 9.8% lower height and 28.5% lower mass plants grew. However, the impact of meteorological conditions on their comparative indicators was not confirmed. Two critical intervals were distinguished, which essentially influence the dynamics of plant growth: crop density of 90 to 150 plants∙m2 and plant height of 1.9 m to 1.99 m. Lower crop density results in larger plants, and plants taller than 1.9 m gain mass 2.58 times faster than shorter plants. In addition, industrial hemp of different heights is characterized by differences in the development of morphological parts. This directly affects the physical and chemical properties of biomass. It was determined that when the height of “Felina 32” variety changes, the heat value of biomass increases 0.342 MJ/kg, carbon concentration increases 0.70%, and ash content, sulfur, nitrogen, and chlorine concentrations decreased.

Published: July 2024

To enhance the scientific rigor of design decisions and develop new rosewood furniture that aligns with user emotions, this study integrates the strengths of the Hesitant Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (HFAHP) and Hesitant Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (HFQFD) within the framework of Kansei Engineering (KE). This method accurately translates Consumer Requirements (CRs) into Engineering Characteristics (ECs). First, the KJ Method was used to screen and categorize Kansei words, create product sample images, and deconstruct the form of rosewood furniture using morphological analysis. Second, after collecting valid questionnaires using a 7-point Likert scale, Factor Analysis (FA) was employed to extract three key Kansei factors. Third, HFAHP was utilized to calculate the weights of the Kansei words. Fourth, HFQFD was applied to construct a hesitant fuzzy correlation matrix between CRs and ECs, determining the priority of design elements for rosewood furniture. Finally, using a square table as an example in the design practice, the optimal Scheme No. 9, which highly meets consumer emotional needs and features harmonious form combinations, was selected. This study enhances the emotional value of rosewood furniture, optimizes the design decision-making process, and improves contemporary consumer satisfaction.

Published: July 2024

Protoporphyria is a subtype of porphyria characterized primarily by painful phototoxic skin reactions after light exposure at specific wavelengths. Historically, phototherapy is not contraindicated in patients with protoporphyria since there have not been any reports of phototoxic reactions. However, patients with protoporphyria are advised to avoid direct sunlight. In this case report, we describe a neonate not known to have X-linked protoporphyria who received phototherapy for 1 to 2 hours. Within hours after initiation of phototherapy, this neonate developed a life-threatening reaction consisting of rash over the distribution of phototherapy, acute liver failure with coagulopathy, diffuse hypotonia with diaphragmatic failure, and subsequent acute respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation. As in this case, patients with protoporphyria-related acute liver failure can have signs and symptoms similar to that of an acute hepatic porphyria attack. Neither neonatal reactions to phototherapy nor liver failure temporally associated with phototherapy have been reported in patients with X-linked protoporphyria. Early recognition of this entity is crucial in light of potential life-threatening complications. Therefore, providers must react quickly when neonates have abnormal reactions to phototherapy and consider protoporphyria in the differential diagnosis.
Viver ou morrer? A influência das emoções desencadeadas por palavras nos tempos de reação manual
Authors: Nascimento Paulo Frassinetti Delfino do , Alves Nelson Torro , Lameira Allan Pablo
Published: July 2024

Estímulos afetivos influenciam o comportamento devido a facilitações/inibições que ocorrem no sistema sensório-motor. Para estímulos positivos, respostas ipsilaterais tendem a ser facilitadas e as contralaterais inibidas. Para estímulos negativos, o padrão é invertido. Atualmente, 34 voluntários foram submetidos à Tarefa de Compatibilidade Espacial Afetiva, cujos estímulos de valência inata foram as palavras “viver” e “morrer”. No mapeamento 1, executaram-se respostas ipsilaterais para a palavra “viver” e respostas contralaterais para a palavra “morrer”. No mapeamento 2, ocorreu o inverso. Através da análise temporal, investigamos se e como palavras que desencadeiam emoções inatas modulam a resposta motora. No mapeamento 1, constatamos respostas ipsilaterais mais lentas à palavra “viver” do que contralaterais à palavra “morrer” (a partir do 3º quintil). Porém, no mapeamento 2, houve diferença apenas no 3º quintil. Os efeitos facilitadores da resposta contralateral ao estímulo negativo estão possivelmente associados a mecanismos automáticos de vigilância para detectar/evitar estímulos de ameaça.

Age-related variations in school satisfaction: The mediating role of school engagement
Authors: Bălţătescu Sergiu , Cernea-Radu Ani Emilia
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to fill this research gap by investigating school engagement as a moderator between age and school satisfaction in children and adolescents. School satisfaction and engagement are key indicators of student well-being and academic outcomes. However, research has shown declining levels as students aged. This study tested the hypothesis that decreased school satisfaction with age was amplified by declining school engagement. Participants were 3,177 Romanian students aged 10–19 years. The results of the mediation analysis using Hayes' regression method indicated that, while school satisfaction and engagement were positively correlated, age had a strong negative association. The interaction effect between age and school engagement significantly decreased school satisfaction. The findings show that engagement levels and satisfaction start high for 10–12 year-olds then decline. High school engagement was associated with greater school satisfaction, suggesting that it may have a protective effect. This study highlights the importance of fostering school engagement and satisfaction for children's well-being. Promoting a stimulating and supportive school environment can enhance student interest, enjoyment, and outcomes.
Music to their ears? Exploring Hungarian EFL teachers' beliefs about the educational potentials of songs
Authors: Ghidhaoui Ranyme
Published: July 2024

Despite the established value of music for language learning, in that, the bulk of empirical studies that corroborate its usefulness, teachers still eschew its incorporation in the classroom as song materials remain underutilized. The ideological basis of this discrepancy is poorly understood as little is known about English language teachers' beliefs and practices regarding song-assisted instruction. To illuminate this uncharted area, the present exploratory interview study sought to elicit responses from five Hungarian EFL instructors at a well-recognized university in Budapest. Considering the importance of constantly revisiting and enhancing the quality of English instruction, this study will rebound to the benefit of EFL education namely the integration of arts and contributes to a better understanding of teachers' attitudes towards the use of songs as instructional materials. While acknowledging songs' relevance including their motivational and mnemonic properties for facilitating vocabulary retention, the findings reveal that teachers encounter various challenges related to their classroom applications, namely copyright infringement, student-related factors such as age as well as level of proficiency, and lyrical appropriateness. Implications of this inquiry involve the recognition of Hungarian teachers' pedagogical concerns and the need for future research to seek practical strategies for implementing musical materials in the language classroom.
Immunization reactions to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccination in adolescent elite athletes
Authors: Koller Akos , Pelle Judit , Béres Bettina , Takács Johanna
Published: July 2024

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to serious health conditions thus vaccination is crucial, especially for elite athletes to avoid severe/prolonged symptoms after the coronavirus infection, which can significantly influence their sports performance. Yet, only a few studies examined immunization reactions after vaccination in elite athletes, and none in young athletes. Thus, we aimed to examine the prevalence and severity of any reactions after the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in young elite athletes. Local and systemic reactions were assessed two to three days after first vaccination in adolescent elite athletes. 15 different reactions, more local than systemic reactions, were reported. The most prevalent local reaction was injection site pain, and nearly 20% of the adolescents reported severe pain. In the case of systemic reactions, half of the adolescents reported mild/moderate fatigue, and one-third experienced mild/moderate muscle pain and/or headache. The most prevalent co-occurrence was between injection site pain, pain in extremity, fatigue and muscle pain. Young elite athletes tended to feel more pain and sensation, partly due to the fact that the systemic circulation of their skeletal muscle allows an advanced spread of the vaccine, causing stronger immune reactions. The network of the reported reactions may provide a clue for understanding the connections of local and systemic reactions. These findings show that the profile of post-vaccine reactions in young elite athletes can differ from that of the general population, which could be important for the timing of vaccination, the planning of pre/post-vaccination protocol, and for returning to normal training intensity.

Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to identify the factors influencing Trevor Noah’s use of negative politeness strategies in his stand-up comedy special “Atlanta Afraid of the Dark” (2016). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research examined and explained the types and influencing factors of negative politeness strategies in Noah’s performance. The study utilized Brown and Levinson’s theories on politeness strategies, particularly negative politeness, to identify and categorize these strategies and their influencing factors. Additionally, Ramon Papana’s framework for the structural build of stand-up comedy techniques was used to analyze the elements of Noah’s comedy. The study found that Noah frequently used impersonal humor in his jokes. It also revealed that social context significantly impacted the content of the jokes, with Noah purposefully addressing social issues. The findings showed that Noah’s humor often employed negative politeness techniques, such as being indirect, questioning, hedging, and depersonalizing both the speaker and the listener. In conclusion, the negative politeness strategies of pessimism, questioning, hedging, and depersonalization played a crucial role in delivering the punchlines. Additionally, callbacks were created using negative politeness methods, such as showing deference and apologizing.Keyword: comedy, politeness strategy, negative politeness strategy

Published: July 2024

Language acquisition is a process which is experienced by a child in acquiring a first and second language. It needs a natural setting of target language in order to convey and understand the message correctly. The research was designed as a qualitative study to describe the process of second language acquisition experienced by Afghan refugees living in Makassar City for 5 to 10 years. In addition to describing the language acquisition process for Bahasa Indonesia as a second language, the study also explored the factors influencing this process. The research took 10 Afghan refugees who were proficient in Bahasa Indonesia as participants. To gather data related to their language acquisition and the factors influencing it, the informants were interviewed. Observation was used to supplement and verify the data on Bahasa Indonesia acquisition from the interviews. Thus, the data were analysed based on Krashen's theory (1995) of acquisition learning and the factors that influenced the informants' language acquisition. The research revealed that the refugees in Makassar used various methods (self-learning, courses) to acquire Bahasa Indonesia. They progressed through the five stages of language acquisition. Internal (motivation, personality, aptitude) and external factors (learning situations, local interactions) influenced their learning. Despite challenges, they persevered by practicing with Indonesian neighbours.Keyword: language acquisition, Afghan refugees, efforts, interaction, local people
An Analysis of Novel Money Laundering Data Using Heterogeneous Graph Isomorphism Networks. FinCEN Files Case Study
Authors: Wójcik Filip
Published: July 2024

Aim: This study aimed to develop and apply the novel HexGIN (Heterogeneous extension for Graph Isomorphism Network) model to the FinCEN Files case data and compare its performance with existing solutions, such as the SAGE-based graph neural network and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), to demonstrate its potential advantages in the field of anti-money laundering systems (AML). Methodology: The research employed the FinCEN Files case data to develop and apply the HexGIN model in a beneficiary prediction task for a suspicious transactions graph. The model's performance was compared with the existing solutions in a series of cross-validation experiments. Results: The experimental results on the cross-validation data and test dataset indicate the potential advantages of HexGIN over the existing solutions, such as MLP and Graph SAGE. The proposed model outperformed other algorithms in terms of F1 score, precision, and ROC AUC in both training and testing phases. Implications and recommendations: The findings demonstrate the potential of heterogeneous graph neural networks and their highly expressive architectures, such as GIN, in AML. Further research is needed, in particular to combine the proposed model with other existing algorithms and test the solution on various money-laundering datasets. Originality/value: Unlike many AML studies that rely on synthetic or undisclosed data sources, this research was based on a publicly available, real, heterogeneous transaction dataset, being part of a larger investigation. The results indicate a promising direction for the development of modern hybrid AML tools for analysing suspicious transactions, based on heterogeneous graph networks capable of handling various types of entities and their connections.

Published: July 2024

Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological disorder worldwide, exhibiting motor and non-motor symptoms. The condition impacts individuals at multiple levels with both motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS). This study qualitatively explored perceptions of people with Parkinson’s (PwP), NMS, and functional ability. Ten PwP took part in semi-structured phone or Zoom interviews. Data were analysed using the General Inductive Approach. Four major themes were identified: (a) diagnosis as a turning point; (b) nonmotor symptoms and functional ability; (c) self-management; and (d) significant others. The themes were further classified into 13 subthemes and 10 categories. Interaction between the four themes also emerged from the data. A complex nuanced impact was found on the relationships between the individual and their significant others. People with Parkinson’s experienced either a “vicious cycle” or a “virtuous cycle” of symptoms, which were dependent on a multitude of factors, for example, whether it is a “good” or “bad” day and the corresponding actions taken on these days.

Resumo Dada a necessidade de se compreender mais detalhadamente como as ferramentas da administração estratégica (FAE) contribuem para a tomada de decisão no contexto da administração pública, este artigo tem o objetivo de avaliar o uso das FAE e sua influência na tomada de decisão em um grupo de empresas estatais. O estudo foi realizado com três empresas selecionadas por acessibilidade. Uma análise do conteúdo das entrevistas com os gestores de cada empresa foi realizada, obtendo-se os seguintes resultados: decisões de longo prazo foram associadas, principalmente, àquelas necessárias ao cumprimento do planejamento estratégico, porém, pouca ênfase foi dada às decisões que envolvessem risco ou incerteza; o uso das FAE com foco no cumprimento de exigências legais tendia a minar a conscientização e o preparo dos usuários. Tais fatores, assim como a necessidade de acomodar alterações de natureza política às ferramentas, restringem os benefícios plenos do uso das FAE nas empresas estatais e sua capacidade de lidar com a complexidade do ambiente estratégico. O estudo contribui para maior compreensão dos aspectos específicos do uso de FAE, bem como seus benefícios e limitações em organizações públicas, particularmente, empresas estatais.

Resumen La bioética, desarrollada en el período posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Norteamérica, se define como un campo epistemológico multidisciplinar centrado en la conciliación del conocimiento biológico con los valores humanos. En este artículo se pretende discutir la dimensión político-social de la bioética, utilizando un enfoque interseccional, desde perspectivas antiopresivas, anticapitalistas, feministas y antirracistas. Por lo tanto, se propone otras concepciones para este campo de conocimiento, reivindicando su posición. La intención es repensar la bioética de manera expansiva, por lo que este trabajo invita a la reflexión y fomenta nuevas posibilidades. Para ejemplificar cómo la intersección entre las agendas antiopresión se relacionan con la bioética, se abordarán temas relacionados con los derechos sexuales y reproductivos.

Abstract The objective of this article is to examine how ethics/bioethics teaching is included in the curricula of stricto sensu graduate programs in the field of medicine III, according to the classification of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. This is a documentary, descriptive and exploratory study, of a qualitative and quantitative nature. The Sucupira Platform was used to search for the following information about the programs: state, institution, name of the program, category (academic/professional), score, compulsoriness and name of the course, workload and website of the program. We found nine programs in the field of medicine III, mainly professional master’s degree programs, most of which offer ethics-related courses as compulsory courses. We found that ethics/ bioethics-related courses are present in all programs, although with different workloads. Further studies are necessary in order to research the methodological approaches to ethics teaching in programs in the field.

Resumen El estudio investigó la muerte en el hogar durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 en el estado de Santa Catarina, en Brasil, utilizando datos secundarios del Servicio de Atención Móvil de Urgencia que caracterizan las defunciones notificadas por los equipos. El análisis de los datos, a los que se tuvo acceso por medio del Portal de la Transparencia del gobierno estatal, puso de manifiesto un aumento en las muertes atendidas por los equipos de urgencia en la región. También se resaltó un incremento medio de 2,16/100.000 habitantes en la tasa de mortalidad por enfermedades cardiovasculares inespecíficas entre el 2019 y el 2022, lo que diferencia a Santa Catarina del resto de Brasil. Esta disparidad puede estar asociada a la falta de control de los factores de riesgo y comorbilidades durante la pandemia. Los hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de adoptar medidas preventivas para mitigar los efectos adversos sobre la muerte en el hogar y mejorar los servicios de salud, en especial con respecto a la equidad en la distribución de recursos escasos durante la pandemia.
University women’s experiences and conceptions about physical education in Spain
Authors: Cañadas Laura
Published: July 2024

Abstract People’s experiences determine their attitudes and behaviors towards a certain object. Therefore, experiences during schooling can determine pupils’ interest and taste to carry out certain activities in their free time, which can influence not only childhood and adolescence, but also adulthood. Thus, the experiences in physical education (PE) during the scholarship could have a great impact on the present and future physical activity habits of the population. The aim of this research is to analyze future female teachers’ experiences in Primary and Secondary physical education and their conceptions on the purpose and the way physical education should be developed. Sixty-three young women aged between 21-25 years old from a Primary Education teacher education course in Spain participated in the study. Information was gathered using reflective journalling. Results show that joyful, game-centered activities, and good memories prevail during Primary education, while Secondary physical education is remembered as a technical and fitness-related stage. Participants think that physical education should contribute to an integral development, transfer positive values and promote physical activity practice outside of school.
Cultural Brokerage: Japan as an Intermediary in the Journey of Russian Literature to China
Authors: Ma Xiaolu
Published: July 2024

This article analyzes how Chinese writers in the early twentieth century translated and appropriated Russian literature through the intermediary of Japanese scholarly and creative writing. It traces how Japan began as the primary—and in some cases only—cultural broker in the Chinese reception of Russian literature during the late Qing dynasty and how its impact diminished as Western European sources became viable competitors. To illuminate Japan's unique mediating role in shaping Chinese understanding of both Russian literature and China's own literary and linguistic legacy, this article examines Wu Tao's 1907 relay translation of Chekhov's “The Black Monk” from Japanese. By probing the Sino-Japanese cultural connections that gave birth to this translation and comparing it with two later Chinese renderings from English and Russian versions, this article reflects on the factors that determine how intermediaries function in transcultural negotiations.
HANK Comes of Age

Published: July 2024

We study the aggregate and distributional effects of monetary policy in a heterogeneous agent New Keynesian model that explicitly represents the life cycle of households. The model matches the age patterns in the level and dispersion of labor income and financial wealth in the U.S. despite the absence of preference heterogeneity and portfolio adjustment costs. Monetary policy affects the consumption of young households mainly through labor income and the consumption of old households mainly through asset returns. More than half of the aggregate consumption response to an expansionary monetary policy shock comes from those below the age of 40. The shock redistributes welfare from the wealthiest old to the poorest young and increases average welfare of most cohorts.

Objective

This study assessed the quality of campus alcohol policies against best practice to assist campus decision-makers in strengthening their campus alcohol policies and reducing student alcohol use and harm.

Methods

Drawing on empirical literature and expert opinion, we developed an evidence-based scoring rubric to assess the quality of campus alcohol policies across 10 alcohol policy domains. Campus alcohol policy data were collected from 12 Atlantic Canadian universities. All extracted data were verified by the institutions and then scored.

Results

On average, post-secondary institutions are implementing only a third of the evidence-based alcohol policies captured by the 10 domains assessed. The average campus policy score was 33% (range 15‒49%). Of the 10 domains examined, only enforcement achieved an average score above 50%, followed closely by leadership and surveillance at 48%. The two heaviest-weighted domains—availability and access, and advertising and sponsorship—had average scores of 27% and 24%, respectively. However, if post-secondary campuses adopted the highest scoring policies from across all 12 campuses, they could achieve a score of 74%, indicating improvement is possible.

Conclusion

Atlantic Canadian universities are collectively achieving less than half their potential to reduce student alcohol-related harm. However, this study identifies opportunities where policies can be enhanced or modified. The fact that most policies are present at one or more campuses highlights that policy recommendations are an achievable goal for campuses. Campuses are encouraged to look to each other as models for improving their own policies.
