Assessment of prevalence and its direct financial loss due to liver condemnation of bovine fasciolosis on beef cattle slaughtered at municipal abbatoir of mudulla, Tembaro woreda, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Authors: Tesfaye Chamiso Niguse
Published: February 2024

Bovine fasciolosis is an important parasitic disease which imposes direct economic loss due to condemnation of affected organs mainly liver. A cross sectional study design based on active abattoir survey was conducted from November 2017 to February, 2018 with the aim of determining the prevalence and associated direct financial loss of bovine fasciolosis in Municipal abattoir of Tembaro district. A total of 384 liver of indigenous male cattle slaughtered during the study period were considered and 180(46.87%) were found to be positive for Fasciola species. Out of these positive samples; Fasciola hepatica was the predominant (58.2%) species followed by Fasciola gigantic (31.66%) and mixed (9.44 %) respectively. The highest prevalence of fasciolosis was recorded in beef cattle those with poor body conditioned (82.35%) and the least in good conditioned (18.51%) and the difference in the prevalence was statistically significant (P<0.05).Relatively the higher prevalence was recorded in age group of >10 years (61.6%) and the low in 3-5 years (35%), and there was a statistical significant association (p<0.05) between age group and occurrences of fasciolosis. The infection rates in different market origins of animals was also analyzed and found to be statistically non-significant. The total annual economic loss from fasciolosis due to liver condemnation during the study time was estimated to be 39,370.8 Ethiopian Birr ($USA1236.52). Finally, the abattoir based prevalence recorded in this study area suggests that bovine fasciolosis is an economically important parasitic disease of cattle in the study area. Therefore, a detailed epidemiological study as well as assessment of the overall indirect economic loss incurred due to fasciolosis is required to implement systematic disease prevention and control methods in the study area.

Published: February 2024

In this study, a cross-sectional study was carried out from December 2016 to June 2017 to evaluate the prevalence of ovine brucellosis in Somali sheep intended for export in Berbera Somaliland. Serum samples from 400 sheep were collected and analyzed using Rose Bengal plate test. A full of 400 serum samples collected from different sheep herds in different districts, 345 (86.25%) of them were male and 55 (13.75%) were female. Out of the 400 serum samples 2(0.5%) positive for brucellosis by the Rose Bengal plate (RBPT). According to the sex, the prevalence of the disease was 2 (0.57%) in males and no positive sample observed in females. There were also some clinical signs of sheep brucellosis in all animals of the study samples such as history of abortion there was five aborted although there were serologically no positive samples. We conclude that the prevalence of ovine brucellosis according to the serological diagnosis is prevailing in Berber district at a low rate; and also the reproductive health problem such as orchitis and infertility is low. For recommendation, further surveys are required to investigate the sheep brucellosis in the production states and local slaughtered animals. However, more studies investigating potential risk factors that could enhance the spread and transmission of brucellosis in sheep in Somaliland are warranted. Also controlling, managing and eradicating the disease at this low prevalence should be a priority as it will take only a small effort and cost.

Published: February 2024

The aim of this study was to reduce the prevalence of mastitis by introduction of effective anti-mastitis measures in a herd of 125 dairy cows. The effectiveness of the relevant measures was monitored by six examinations conducted in two-month intervals during the one-year period. A reduction in the prevalence of mastitis was recorded from 53.6% to 22.9%, i.e. by 26.0%. The prevalence of Staphylococcus spp. as the most frequently isolated pathogens of the mammary gland in the examined samples gradually reduced from 33.4% to 18.4%, 14.1%, 10.0%, 7.6%, and 8.1%. In contrast to the dynamics of mastitis, the monthly fluctuations in the values of somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial count (TBC) in bulk tank milk samples were irregular. However, a declining dynamics of SCC and TBC was evident during the last three samplings which reflected a reduction in the counts of udder pathogens after the treatment and introduction of mastitis suppression procedures.
The Location of Fort Caroline in Ancient Maps
Authors: Crowe Fletcher , Spring Anita
Published: February 2024

Fort Caroline was the French fort built on the southeast coast of North America in June 1564, under the command of René Goulaine de Laudonnière. Pedro Menéndez de Avilés attacked the fort on September 20, 1565 killing 134 men and scattering the rest, while the women and children of the Ribault expedition were captured and sent to Havana.1,2 The Fort was used again in 1566 by the Spanish under Stephan de las Alas, but was overrun on April 25, 1568 by French corsairs commanded by Dominique de Gourgues, after which it was partly burned and never found. Conventional understanding in Florida states that Fort Caroline was located on the south side of the St. Johns River, about six miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Jacksonville at the St. Johns Bluff near where the Fort Caroline National Memorial is located today. However, repeated archaeological investigations have failed to locate the remains of Fort Caroline along the St. Johns River. The present study was begun to determine if ancient maps of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century could provide clues as to where the fort was located. This article uses information from the Bibliotèque nationale francaise (BNF), the Vatican Library in Rome, the Newberry Library in Chicago, and the records of French corsair Dominique de Gourgues, to reconsider the fort’s location. This paper examines nine French maps (1563-1780); two Spanish maps (1566 and 1585); two English maps (1587 and 1684); and two German/French maps (1591 and 1763). These maps, in fact, might have been studied and subjected to scholarly analysis but it appears that they were not used by other researchers to locate Fort Caroline because they assumed that the Fort was on the St. Johns River. Significantly, not any of the fifteen early maps examined in this study depicts Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River.
Images and ethnography: issues of opacity and misconception
Authors: Porfírio Iago
Published: February 2024

In this article I intend to debate the place that images occupy in ethnographic research and their methodological interest, which characterizes the conditions for the insertion of a visual character in the ethnographic narrative. According to Novaes,1 images communicate and, even in silence, it is necessary to take into account what they have to say, especially in empirical work. In this way, the article will focus on photography as an instrument that opens in gestures and expressions for field research, to think about its use as a production technology for the construction of a visual ethnographic narrative, such as the experience of ethnographic cinema, which will be presented shortly. The hypothesis to be developed here is whether photography can operate as a translation of knowledge gathered in the field. For this, it is important to highlight the methodological interest in the use of the image from the researcher- photographer to the researcher-filmmaker and, as an example, the ethnographic film Les Maîtres fous (The Crazy Teachers), by Jean Rouch2 is analyzed.

The use of antimicrobials in poultry production accelerated the emergency and spread of antimicrobial resistance. AMR data of commensal resistant bacteria in chicken to antibiotics considered essential in animals and humans is lacking in poor countries. This study was conducted to determine the resistance patterns of E. coli, K. pnuemoniae, and ESBL producing bacteria to fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins in healthy chickens, and to assess the risk that can be posed by resistant bacteria to humans. A cross-sectional and time series study was conducted to obtain faeces from healthy chickens from biosecurity level 1 and 2 poultry farms between May and September 2021. Bacterial isolates were identified by biochemical test. Disc diffusion method was used to test susceptibility of E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates to ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone and cefepime according to CLSI standard. A total of 200 pooled fresh faecal samples were collected; 189 samples were from biosecurity level 1 and 11 were from level 2. Similarly, 104 samples were collected from layers and 96 from broiler chickens. In total, 150 strains were isolated: 80 were from broiler samples; and 70 strains were from layer chicken samples. Overall, the prevalence of E. coli was 75%; and no K. pneumoniae was isolated. The resistance of E. coli was 63.3% against ciprofloxacin, 0.7% against ceftriaxone, and 0% against cefepime. No ESBL-producing E. coli was detected. This study revealed that resistance to fluoroquinolones is high and that of cephalosporins is emerging in poultry production. The risk associated with high prevalence of commensal E. coli is significant due to transmission of AMR to human via food and environmental contamination.
Evaluation of mechanical transmission of Enterococcus spp., resistant to antibiotics, having flies as vectors of dissemination
Authors: L Abadía Patiño , S Díaz , Z Hernández
Published: February 2024

The objective of this work was to evaluate the mechanical transmission of Enterococcus spp., resistant to antibiotics, using flies as dissemination vectors. In this work, 50 flies were captured, 25 in “La Llanada” community, in Cumaná and 25 others in the surroundings of the “Juan Otaola Rogliani” outpatient clinic and the central cemetery of Carúpano. The main families of flies captured in the state of Sucre were Muscidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. The flies captured in Cumaná had fewer strains of Enterococcus spp., on the surface than those from Carúpano, while those from Cumaná were more colonized in the intestine than those from Carúpano. A total of 14 strains of Enterococcus were isolated, among which were E. faecium (6%), E. gallinarum (36%) and E. casseliflavus (58%). The susceptibility profile of E. casseliflavus strains is resistance to linezolid, tetracycline, erythromycin, rifampicin and intermediate susceptibility to fluoroquinolones; E. gallinarum strains were sensitive to rifampicin and tetracycline, and resistant to the other antibiotics. The only strain of E. faecium isolated in Carúpano, presented low level of resistance to vancomycin. It did not amplify for the glycopeptide resistance ligase genes vanA, vanB, vanD, vanE, or vanG. Antibiotypes IA and IV of E. caseliflavus were detected in both Carúpano and Cumaná.
Infraorbitary artery epistaxis
Authors: Ruggeri Carlos Santiago , Zamar Claudia Esper , Ragoni Ana
Published: February 2024

Epistaxis is a common complication of endoscopic sinus surgery. Bleeding occurs more frequently due to injury of the sphenopalatine artery branches. Pathologies of the maxillary sinus that produce bone resorption and descent from the orbital floor into the sinus, expose the orbital fat and the infraorbital artery (IOA) to an injury that can cause severe epistaxis which is difficult to treat. Two cases of epistaxis due to an injury of the infraorbital artery in the maxillary sinus are described in our study.

One of the main mathematical areas where it has many applications is in the topic of differential equations and their solution methods. In this paper, we study the stability and analysis of linear systems with the Generalized Laplace Transform.
The Pink Tax: Sex and Gender Disparities in Peripheral Artery Disease
Authors: Martinez Andrea , Huang Jingwen , Harzand Arash
Published: February 2024

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disease associated with significant functional impairment, morbidity, and mortality. Among women, PAD remains poorly recognized and undermanaged. Compared with men, women with PAD tend to be underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, have poorer quality of life, and experience higher rates of PAD-related morbidity and cardiovascular mortality. In this review, we describe the sex- and gender-related differences in the epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management of PAD. We provide specific recommendations to overcome these factors, including greater awareness and an increased emphasis on tailored and more aggressive interventions for women with PAD. Such changes are warranted and necessary to achieve more equitable outcomes in women with PAD, including improved limb outcomes, enhanced lifestyle, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
Design research on an online summer school in mathematics education
Authors: Bikner-Ahsbahs Angelika
Published: February 2024

Design research in education pursues two goals simultaneously: the development of a design and a local theory that clarifies how the design can achieve the intended effects and under what conditions. The results are obtained in an iterative cyclical process including both the implementation of the design and the research on its implementation. Each cycle contains a prospective phase, in which the design is determined, and a reflective phase, in which the implementation of the design is examined. The nested connection of theory and design development leads to a reciprocal relationship between the two final products.
This article introduces an example of design research from mathematics education, in which an online summer school for doctoral students was to be framed in response to the sudden lockdown situation at the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. At short notice, the original summer school was moved into the virtual space of a digital conference system resulting in new framework conditions; previous design principles were adapted and a rhythmical organization of space and time was theorized and implemented. Rhythm analyses show that design decisions to realize ontological, epistemological and axiological commitments intertwined and thus fostered students’ interactive learning processes. Consequently, the suggestion is made to merge the three commitments into a three-dimensional framework concept of ethico-onto-epistemological commitments. Such a framework concept would have the function of reconciling ethical, ontological and epistemological dimensions in design research in the pursuit of robust teaching-learning processes and incorporating the ethical responsibilities of design researchers conceptually for both design and local theory.

Development of load-resistance-factor-design-based prestressed concrete tub girders in Colorado
Authors: Kim Yail J. , Wang Jun
Published: February 2024

This paper presents a new tub girder series for Colorado, conforming to the articles of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Although the B618 tub girders developed by the Colorado Department of Transportation in the 1990s have been successfully used for decades, the need for an upgrade is essential to satisfy the requirements of contemporary bridge design and construction. After examining the performance of tub girders selected from six transportation agencies in the United States, an optimization algorithm was employed to generate efficient prototype sections. Then, detailed investigations were conducted to examine various practical aspects concerning the serviceability and ultimate limit states of AASHTO LRFD specifications. Parametric analysis with five bridge superstructures that accommodate up to four traffic lanes demonstrated the applicability of the prototype girders. A simplified version of the prototype sections was also delineated for regional precasters. Furthermore, a comparative study was carried out to evaluate the geometric stability and production costs of the prototype, simplified, and existing B618 girders.

Readers will be presented with a series of articles on myocarditis in children, which are based on clinical guidelines developed by a group of authors on this topic. Myocarditis is an inflammatory myocardial disease characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations — from minor to sudden cardiac death. Given the absence of pathognomonic symptoms, as well as the similarity of manifestations in the onset with common childhood diseases such as respiratory distress, gastrointestinal diseases, infectious pathology, specialists often overlook the likelihood of a diagnosis of “myocarditis”, which causes a late start of therapy and an adverse outcome. Considering that myocarditis accounts for 12% of cases of sudden cardiac death in adolescents and young adults, suspicion of this disease in differential diagnosis in children with nonspecific symptoms and disease progression may be the key to the formation of a proper treatment strategy. Despite significant advances in the study of myocarditis in both adults and children, there are still many unresolved issues. The purpose of this article is to highlight the current view of the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology and clinical features in children with various types of myocarditis in order to increase the knowledge of practitioners for better clinical management of patients with myocarditis.

Published: February 2024

Background. The commitment to vaccination of outpatient doctors is one of the factors that affects patients’ confidence in preventive vaccinations and, as a result, the incidence of controlled infections. Unfortunately, emotionally colored information is currently spreading among the population faster than scientifically proven facts all over the world.

The aim of this study is the examine of the level of knowledge and attitude to vaccination of doctors in one of the children’s polyclinics in Moscow.

Methods. An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among medical doctors of different specialties who expressed their attitude to various aspects of immunoprophylaxis and demonstrated knowledge in this field. Results. The survey demonstrated a positive attitude of respondents towards immunization, while some of them showed a cautious attitude towards the effectiveness and safety of vaccines, misconceptions (erroneous assumptions), increased susceptibility to “myths” about preventive vaccinations.

Conclusion. The level of knowledge of medical doctors on vaccine prevention within a single health care institution range from insufficient training, including misconceptions, to a high level of knowledge and commitment regarding immunization. It is necessary to regularly maintain current theoretical knowledge of doctors and consolidate it in practice.

Published: February 2024

Background. Meconium ileus is one of the manifestations of cystic fibrosis. It is characterized by intestinal obstruction with viscous meconium leading to perforation and peritonitis. The issues of early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, management of newborns with meconium ileus and negative neonatal screening for immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT), as well as IRT decrease causes and mechanisms in patients with meconium ileus require further study. Clinical case description. Routine ultrasound examination at the 33rd week of gestation has shown signs of colon obstruction and meconium peritonitis in the intrauterine child. Surgical treatment of peritonitis was performed urgently on the 1st day after birth. The child was on mechanical ventilation from the 1st day of life. The child has shown signs of intrahepatic cholestasis with direct hyperbilirubinemia (up to 100 μmol/L) and signs of hemorrhagic syndrome (bleeding from injection sites) on the 8th day of life. Negative IRT blood test was received (21.6 ng/mL, normal value < 70 ng/mL) on the 10th day. The fecal elastase concentration was 45 μg/g (normal value > 200 μg/g) (on the same day). Sweat tests were performed on the 21st and 23rd days of life. They have shown high levels of sweat chlorides (112 mmol/L in both samples, normal value — 30–59 mmol/L). The diagnosis of «cystic fibrosis» was established, thus, dornase alfa (dosage — 2.5 mg/day) was added to the therapy. Conclusion. Meconium ileus is one of the specific intestinal manifestations of cystic fibrosis and it commonly can be complicated with intestinal perforation in the intrauterine child with further peritonitis. Children with meconium ileus require sweat tests regardless the neonatal screening results.
A retomada da inflação no Brasil: 1974-1986
Authors: BAER WERNER
Published: February 2024

RESUMO De 1974-1985 a taxa de inflação brasileira apresentou uma tendência de crescimento em oposição à tendência de queda observada no período 1964-1973. As causas deste ressurgimento da inflação, o seu impacto e as políticas utilizadas para o seu controlo são analisadas neste trabalho, utilizando duas abordagens que resultam de duas correntes de pensamento diferentes: a “tradição ortodoxa clássica” que vê a inflação como sendo causada por aumentos na oferta monetária; e a “escola neoestruturalista para a qual a inflação é considerada basicamente o resultado do poder monopolista das corporações, sindicatos e Estado, culminando nos conceitos de inflação inercial. O fracasso da escola ortodoxa tanto em seu diagnóstico quanto em seu controle inflacionário políticas levaram o autor a concluir, por meio de uma análise da estrutura institucional do Brasil e da conduta de seus componentes, que a explicação neo-estruturalista se aproxima da raiz do problema, defendendo a necessidade de se adotar políticas “heterodoxas”. apresenta também uma avaliação preliminar do “Plano Cruzado” - programa de estabilização econômica - inspirado nas ideias neoestruturalistas, que foi implantado no Brasil em 28 de fevereiro de 1986.

Resumo Defeitos de grandes segmentos traqueais podem apresentar sério problema clínico, devido à ausência de substitutos na cirurgia reconstrutiva. Os biomateriais poliméricos estão entre os mais utilizados na medicina. Entretanto, a implantação de um biomaterial desencadeia uma série de eventos biológicos e a biocompatibilidade do material é de extrema importância para a medicina regenerativa. Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar o uso da copoliamida associada ao elastômero termoplástico (PCTPE) em próteses impressas em 3D para reparação de defeitos parciais da traqueia de coelhos. Foram utilizados 16 coelhos machos da raça Nova Zelândia Branco, submetidos à criação de um defeito parcial de traqueia na região ventral do 4º ao 8º anel traqueal. Os animais foram subdivididos (n=4) de acordo com o momento das eutanásias, programadas com intervalo de sete (G7), quinze (G15), trinta (G30) e sessenta dias (G60). A análise histopatológica por hematoxilina e eosina (HE) revelou que o implante 3D de PCTPE apresentou reação do tipo corpo estranho e a inflamação persistiu até os 60 dias de avaliação. A histoquímica de picrosirius vermelho revelou tendência de maior quantidade de colágeno tipo I nos tempos iniciais de inflamação, enquanto o colágeno tipo III foi predominante nos períodos tardios de avaliação. Pode-se sugerir reação exacerbada e não adequada da interface tecido-material e perpetuação do processo inflamatório.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos da administração de análogo da gonadorelina no momento da transferência de embrião em tempo fixo (TETF), da categoria da receptora e da estação do ano na prenhez por TETF aos 30 (P/TETF 30) e 60 (P/ TETF60) após o estro e nas perdas gestacionais (PG). As receptoras foram distribuídas aleatoriamente: grupo tratado (n = 624), onde as receptoras receberam injeção intramuscular de 0,2 mg de gonadorelina (Fertagyl®) na TETF e grupo controle (n =687) permaneceu sem tratamento. As receptoras foram previamente tratadas com protocolo de sincronização à base de progesterona e estradiol. Todos os embriões foram produzidos in vitro. Os dados foram analisados por regressão logística multivariada, utilizando o procedimento GLIMIX do SAS. Foi detectada maior P/TETF30 (45,8 vs. 40,0%; P =0,03) e P/TETF60 (43,0 vs. 37,0%; P =0,01) no grupo tratado. Houve tendência de redução da PG no grupo tratado (4,0 vs. 7,0%; P =0,09). Vacas secas (2,70%) e vacas em lactação (2,47%) apresentaram menor PG (P =0,001), em comparação com novilhas (10,42%). Na estação primavera/verão a P/TETF60 foi menor (P = 0,024). Maior PG tendeu a ocorrer na estação mais quente. O tratamento com gonadorelina no momento do TETF aumentou a prenhez por TE aos dias 30 e 60 e reduziu o PG. Vacas receptoras secas e lactantes apresentaram menor taxa de PG em comparação com novilhas. Além disso, a TE realizada nas estações mais quentes do ano resultou em menor taxa de prenhez aos 60 dias e maior PG.

Resumo Objetivou-se com este estudo comparar a quantificação do “flare” do aquoso por fotometria à laser e a quantificação clínica subjetiva do “flare” do aquoso após facoemulsificação pela técnica V-Prechop de nucleodissecção, em cães. Foram utilizados 43 cães de diferentes raças, machos e fêmeas, com idades entre 3 e 10 anos, portadores de catarata madura (G1, n=22) e imatura (G2, n=21). Após a cirurgia, os pacientes foram avaliados semanalmente para quantificação do flare por fotometria laser em diferentes períodos, e para observação clínica do flare por biomicroscopia de lâmpada de fenda, nos mesmos períodos. A exacerbação clínica da inflamação intraocular foi mais evidente nos pacientes do G2 quando comparados com os do G1. Com o tempo regrediu na maioria deles, persistindo em grau leve em três animais ao final do período de observação. A análise estatística demonstrou diferenças entre os grupos estudados no pós-operatório imediato e após 30 dias de observação. A avaliação quantitativa do “flare” do aquoso (em ph/ms) na fotometria à laser mostrou-se maior nos olhos operados de ambos os grupos (G1 e G2). No entanto, houve diferença significativa no pós-operatório imediato e aos 45 e 30 dias no G1 e G2, respectivamente. Ao comparar os olhos operados de cada grupo, observou-se diferença significativa no pré-operatório e 60 dias de pós-operatório; os valores médios foram sempre maiores nos pacientes do G2 (G1-pré-operatório = 25,5 ± 11,4 ph/ms e G2-pré-operatório = 45,7 ± 17,7 ph/ms; G1-60d = 23,4 ± 8,9 ph/ms e G2-60d = 39,8 ± 13,4 ph/ms). Em conclusão, pode-se supor que a fotometria de célula a laser e flare apresentou maior acurácia em comparação à avaliação clínica do flare usando escores no pós-operatório na facoemulsificação por nucleodissecção V-Prechop. É possível que os valores quantitativos de flare encontrados sejam semelhantes utilizando outras técnicas de nucleodissecção em facoemulsificação, utilizando este método não invasivo de avaliação do flare.
As pessoas que passavam xingavam ela de “macaca”: as facetas do racismo em textos infantis
Authors: Riolfi Claudia , Costa Renata de Oliveira
Published: February 2024

Resumo Como alunos de escolas públicas representam as manifestações de racismo em textos? Por meio da análise da polifonia, foram escrutinadas as nuances do preconceito racial presentes em relatos pessoais de alunos do sexto ano de uma escola pública. Considerar a divisão do locutor permitiu ver como o racismo comparece nas palavras das crianças de 10 a 12 anos. O insulto racial foi a principal marca de racismo reportado. Entretanto, ele nunca aparece na voz do narrador do texto, mas sim, na de outros enunciadores. Percebe-se que as crianças julgam erradas as manifestações racistas, censurando sua ocorrência. Elas são incluídas, entretanto, nas vozes alheias incorporadas nos textos. Conclui-se que a Teoria Polifônica da Enunciação é uma ferramenta útil para aprofundar a compreensão do discurso racista.
May 68's effects in Jacques Rancière’s path: The Althusserian dichotomy between science and ideology questioned 1 2 3
Authors: Araújo Taís
Published: February 2024

Abstract After the eruption of May 68, the dichotomy between scientific knowledge and ideology, as Althusserians supported, is jeopardized in favor of Jacques Rancière’s valuing of the 1960s boiling political movements. In this essay, we analyze this moment of his path, in which the author rephrases his understanding of the meaning of political revolt and the conception of knowledge. This debate is not circumstantial in Rancière’s work. It first appears as a question crossing his thought and is still present in his current writings: the refusal to divide knowledge and its intellectual hierarchies and the suspicion towards a conception that politics would require theory as a prerequisite.
A transposição didática da coesão referencial na Base Nacional Comum Curricular
Authors: Bispo Marcos
Published: February 2024

RESUMO: Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar uma análise da transposição didática da coesão referencial na BNCC, de modo a fornecer uma compreensão desse objeto no contexto da pedagogia das competências e da concepção de linguagem postulada no documento, bem como dos aspectos psicolinguísticos e psicopedagógicos que tais concepções de educação e de linguagem ensejam. A análise assumiu os seguintes pressupostos teórico-metodológicos: a) a transposição didática é um processo epistemológico, político e técnico realizado pelas didáticas específicas das disciplinas em diálogo constante com as disciplinas científicas e as políticas educacionais; b) a concepção de competência adotada no documento impõe que se adote uma perspectiva de linguagem como ação e de sujeitos como atores que agem de modo situado, fazendo com que sua autonomia seja compreendida como relativa; c) na pedagogia das competências, que orienta o projeto educativo da BNCC, o currículo se estrutura a partir da noção de práticas sociais de referência, em torno das quais são selecionados os gêneros textuais e as habilidades de linguagem, estas distribuídas nos quatro eixos estruturantes da Língua Portuguesa: Leitura, Oralidade, Análise Linguística/Semiótica e Produção de Textos; d) a pedagogia das competências demanda uma nova teoria dos conteúdos baseada nas teorias psicológicas do desenvolvimento humano. Diante desse conjunto de pressupostos, concluiu-se que a opção da BNCC por apresentar os conteúdos sob o rótulo genérico de habilidades dificulta a visualização dos conteúdos conceituais, procedimentais e atitudinais relacionados à coesão referencial e abre um importante campo de pesquisas acerca da transposição didática desse objeto de conhecimento.
Cursos a distância de formação inicial de professores de língua inglesa: Uma análise censitária
Authors: Viana Vander , Gimenez Telma
Published: February 2024

RESUMO: A atual legislação educacional brasileira estabelece o ensino obrigatório da língua inglesa na educação básica, o que requer especial atenção à formação docente, um dos grandes desafios da educação brasileira. O presente estudo original analisa os microdados do Censo da Educação Superior 2019 em relação aos cursos de graduação de Letras com componente em língua inglesa (Letras+Inglês) ofertados na modalidade a distância, que tem expandido consideravelmente nos últimos anos. A investigação enfoca aspectos institucionais, distribuição geográfica de tais cursos, corpo discente e sua inclusão social. Entre outros resultados, o estudo revela (i) a oferta de cursos de graduação de Letras+Inglês na modalidade a distância de forma quase que exclusiva por instituições de ensino superior particulares, (ii) o grande número de alunos desvinculados na modalidade a distância, e (iii) a necessidade de promover a inclusão social nesses cursos. Sugere-se a criação de uma linha de pesquisa que permita o acompanhamento dos microdados anuais do Censo da Educação Superior no Brasil. Assim sendo, será possível contribuir de forma continuada para a proposição de políticas públicas educacionais, garantindo o acesso a uma educação de qualidade em Letras+Inglês para todos no país.

RESUMO Mulheres do Mar: práticas performativas como crítica aos mitos coloniais patriarcais brasileiros – O texto analisa o projeto Mulheres do Mar, realizado com idosas da comunidade Serviluz em Fortaleza (CE). Através de oficinas de práticas performativas, questionou-se o mito colonial Iracema, de José de Alencar. Análises feministas articuladas com a abordagem dos arquivos e repertórios de Diana Taylor fundamentam a crítica do romance. Em seguida, compartilham-se aspectos da abordagem me-todológica de criação, com ênfase nas cartografias de si. Reflete-se como a elaboração coletiva de uma contranarrativa à herança patriarcal sintetizada em Iracema contribui para o debate sobre práticas artísti-co-pedagógicas decoloniais.
Dance Narratives by a Black Artist Mirroring the Knowledge and Concepts of Female Black Authors
Authors: Tavares Luciano Correa , Silva Suzane Weber da
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT Dance Narratives by a Black Artist Mirroring the Knowledge and Concepts of Fe-male Black Authors – This article presents aspects of the life and professional narratives of a Black dance artist, Rubens Oliveira, and how his sensitive, poetic and creative experience as a Black man op-poses stereotypes of hegemonic masculinities. The aim of this article is to highlight the life story of a Black Brazilian man who makes dance his profession. Issues concerning the process of being a Black man in Brazil are problematised, using Conceição Evaristo’s (2020) concept of escrevivência (writexperi-ence)and Lélia Gonzalez’s (1988) concept of amefricanidade (Amefricanity). The article, mostly based on Black authors, highlights Black epistemologies as a form of representation.
Sub-daily flow alterations (hydropeaking) due to reservoir operations in Brazil
Authors: Jardim Pedro Frediani , Collischonn Walter
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT International studies have focused on the hydrological impacts on an hourly or sub-daily scale that hydroelectric plants can cause through hydropeaking operations. However, this topic is still underexplored in Brazil, despite its large number of hydroelectric plants. Thus, to bring it to the Brazilian context, this study initially presents a literature review to characterize hydropeaking, its impacts and proposed mitigating measures, and research conducted in Brazil. Next, it was demonstrated that hydropeaking operations occur throughout the entire national territory, in hydroelectric plants of different sizes, that can cause changes increasing up to 450% of the base flow. Conflicts related to hydropeaking in Brazil are also brought up and, despite their occurrences and records of specific thresholds for their mitigation, this has not been addressed in environmental impact studies for licensing Small Hydropower Plants (SHPs) or legislation. Thus, the present study seeks to bring to light the importance of further research on hydropeaking in Brazil.

ABSTRACT The Madeira River is characterized by large amount of woody material transported, especially during floods, which interferes with the operation of the Jirau Hydroelectric Power Plant. There are many logs and the log boom structures inserted to retain them do not always present the desired efficiency. This work involves the hydrodynamic simulation of the Madeira River and the three-dimensional simulation of these woody materials to analyze their trajectories along the river and to obtain knowledge of their transport and position according to the flow, different plant operations ways and the influence of log booms. The logs are simulated as particles by the PART module of Delft3d, using the Lagrangian particle tracking model. The hydrodynamic model was validated and it was possible to represent the main variations of three-dimensional velocities and water levels. The particle tracking simulation was consistent with the flow distribution and thus it was possible to identify the most attractive destination for the logs, according to power plant operations.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT: Allan Kardec’s “Evolutionism”
Authors: Volpi Heron
Published: February 2024

We believe that in a paradigmatic framework, a religion is representative of the social face of its followers. In this article we aim to think about the racial issue within the beginnings of the spiritist religion, codified by Allan Kardec. Spiritism, in its conception, was thought to perfectly intersect science, religion and philosophy. However, in this dangerous friction of ways of looking at the world, Kardec was several times, and repeatedly, racist. To be accepted by the scientific community of the 19th century, Kardec included racial evolutionism in his speech, and thus ended up leading the spiritist religion to a paratopic place. In this way, spiritism, like any other religion, appears to be based much more on discourse than on empirical science. This is a qualitative research that attempts to carry out a general scan of Allan Kardec's writings. We will try to frame Allan Kardec as a man of his time, and more specifically, a scientist of his time. This is qualitative research that attempts to carry out a general scan of Allan Kardec's writings. Along with reports from the author of this article, who has been part of the Brazilian spiritist context for many years. This research could only be done in this way, as racism does not always present itself in religious services every day, and not always clearly. We must remember that loose speeches in religious services, which if not allocated within the academic discourse of racism, do not seem to be of great contradiction. In this way, we think that today's spiritualist religious cults still reflect, in their in-depth ways or not, the propagated racial evolutionism of Allan Kardec.
