Objetivos: Avaliar a utilização do midazolam, administrado no pré-operatório de exodontias de terceiros molares inclusos mandibulares, na redução da dor pós-operatória e nas alterações de pressão arterial e frequência cardíaca. Métodos: Estudo clínico, prospetivo e randomizado. Foi utilizada amostra de 14 pacientes, de ambos os géneros, com idade entre 15 e 27 anos, e indicação para exodontia de terceiro molar inferior incluso. Foram divididos em dois grupos: Grupo Midazolam (n=7), que recebeu midazolam (15 mg, via oral, 1 h antes da cirurgia) e Grupo Controle (n=7), que não recebeu a droga. Foi investigado a possível diminuição do limiar de dor através de uma Escala Visual Analógica, além das características de hipotensão e bradicardia causadas pelo midazolam, em diferentes períodos de tempo. Resultados: Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,01) entre o limiar de dor entre os dois grupos, pelo teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. Enquanto, as alterações de pressão arterial e frequência cardíaca não foram estatisticamente significativas (p>0,05), comparando os dois grupos. Conclusões: A administração do midazolam não foi efetiva na redução de dor pós-operatória de exodontia de terceiros molares inclusos mandibulares. Além disso, a pressão arterial e a frequência cardíaca não tiveram alterações significativas pela administração do medicamento.
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and pregnancy - a case report
Authors: Krishnaswamy Priyanka H. , Howarth Louise , Arora Rohit
Published: November 2020

Background:

Pregnant mothers with babies diagnosed to have Beckwith-Wiedemann syndromes (BWSs) have been reported in very few case reports in the literature.

Case Presentation:

This case report describes the course of two pregnancies in a woman with BWS. The main metabolic issues encountered were recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia and suspected diabetes insipidus in pregnancy. Labor and delivery were uneventful, but she had significant secondary postpartum hemorrhage on both occasions.

Conclusion:

This syndrome has not been studied in the antenatal period and its course in pregnancy is not well known. We discuss possible complications that women with this syndrome could present with, the need for blood glucose and urine monitoring, a multidisciplinary approach, and close liaison with medical colleagues to identify and treat metabolic complications early.
Heidegger’s Manichaeism. Comments on Peter Trawny’s Heidegger and the Myth of a Jewish World Conspiracy
Authors: Czepiel Anna
Published: November 2020

Heidegger’s Manichaeism: Comments on Peter Trawny’s Heidegger and the myth of a Jewish world conspiracy. In the book Heidegger and the myth of a Jewish world conspiracy, Peter Trawny convincingly shows that anti-Semitism in Heidegger’s thought does not have the shape of the Nazi call for racial discrimination, but rather is a stereotypical and unfortunate element of Heidegger’s call for a transformation of thinking so that philosophy and the human attitude to life would be focused on Being itself (Seyn selbst) instead of beings (Seiendes). Despite the advantages of Trawny’s book, I think that Trawny unlawfully tries to demonstrate that anti-Semitism is the main ethical and political problem of Heideggerian philosophy, while in my opinion the main problem is Heidegger’s “being-historical Manichaeism” — a phenomenon which is only marginally evoked by Trawny. This Manichaeism brings Heidegger to criticize the values of human subjectivity, personality and social and economic self-security as the en-emies of Being. These views not only can have severe political collectivist implications, but — to put it in the terminology of Sein und Zeit — they also make Heidegger speak in the manner of the conservative variant of “idle talk” (Gerede) of “the they” (das Man).
Obraz wojny domowej z lat 83-82 przed Chr. w Żywocie Lucjusza Korneliusza Sulli Plutarcha z Cheronei
Authors: Ładoń Tomasz
Published: November 2020

An image of the civil war of the years 83–82 BCE in Plutarch’s the Life of Sulla The author of this article is interested in how Plutarch of Chaeronea created the picture of the Sullan War in Parallel lives, especially in the Life of Lucius Cornelius Sulla. Firstly, the author notes that in presenting the civil war Plutarch was dependent on the Memoirs of Sulla. But not only. There are fragments from other source too, probably the same that Appian of Alexandria used. Therefore the Author wonders to what extend Plutarch was tendentious in presenting the Sullan War. Secondly, the author shows which moments of the Sullan War were of especial interest to Plutarch of Chaeronea and tries to answer why some of the events (for example the negotiations between Sulla and Scipio) Plutarch was to described so briefly. Finally, the author indicates why this report of Plutarch of Chaeronea remains a very important source for any historian of the civil wars in Rome.
Ist die Heideggersche Philosophie des Seyns Mystik?
Authors: Kołoczek Łukasz
Published: November 2020

Is Heidegger’s philosophy of Being (Seyn) a mystique? In this article I examine whether late Heidegger’s philosophy (Gesamtausgabe volumes 65–74) can be called a mysticism. For serious reasons the answer should be negative. Heidegger’s early statements relating to the mystique are very unflattering. I try to grasp what the Heidegger’s exact attitude to the mystique is. Reflections on the mystique do not appear in late Heidegger’s philosophy (with one exception). Heidegger treats the term “mysticism” as an objection to thinking, which consists in masking a lack of understanding of thinking. According to the immanent criteria, the philosophy of Being cannot be called the mystique. But it is possible to transpose the concept of the mystique, which means to carry the word from the first in another beginning. The second part of my work is an attempt at such a transposition. As a result I obtain the word “mysticism” conceived from the side of Being, that is as a source for mysticism conceived in the traditional way. So I can say that the philosophy of Being is a mystique in this particular sense of this word.

Authors: Thi Mai Oanh Lu , Thuy Nguyen Thi Nhu
Published: November 2020

Based on online survey data of 225 students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education (May 2020), men accounted for 74.7% and women accounted for 25.3%; the paper analyzes the effectiveness of students' online learning in the context of the covid epidemic 19. The results show that online teaching of students has somewhat met the expectations of learning, bringing the certain convenience in saving travel time, having more time to study documents,... However, online learning also shows that there are still many difficulties from the means of learning, learning space, the process of interacting with others. Collaboration with teachers leads to the effectiveness of online learning, which is not as effective as traditional methods. Therefore, research on online learning efficiency of students will contribute an objective view on the state of online learning in the context of the covid epidemic 19.

Published: November 2020

Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão narrativa atual sobre as principais propriedades e indicações do uso odontológico das zircônias translúcidas. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com artigos disponíveis nas bases de dados PUBMED e MEDLINE, utilizando como termos de busca: cerâmicas odontológicas, zircônia, zircônia translúcida, zircônia estabilizada por ítrio. Resultados: Após a leitura dos artigos foi possível observar que a zircônia tetragonal estabilizada com ítria policristalina (Y-TZP) apresenta uma coloração branca opaca, trazendo deficiência em áreas estéticas, diante desta deficiência em mimetizar a estética do dente, diversas pesquisas aprimoraram as zircônias atualmente disponíveis na odontologia, a principal diferença encontrada foi no aumento da quantidade em mol de óxido de Ítrio, estabilizando essa zircônia na fase cubica (4Y-TZP e 5Y-TZP). Este aumento na adição do ítrio faz com que ocorra uma diminuição na tenacidade à fratura e resistência flexural, resultando em uma maior translucidez do material. Considerações Finais: As zircônias translúcidas são indicadas para procedimentos restauradores estéticos e contraindicadas para restaurações posteriores, devida a sua alta translucidez e baixa resistência mecânica. Contudo, mais estudos clínicos são necessários para determinar sua correta indicação.

Authors: Abuzayed Bashar , Alawneh Khaled , Al-Qawasmeh Majdi , Al-Khatib Sohaib , Barukba Marwa , Raffee Liqaa
Published: November 2020

Background:

Gangliogliomas are neoplasms containing both astrocytic and neuronal components. We present a case of gangliogliomas of the optic chiasm, which are extremely rare pathologies.

Case Description:

A 16-year-old female patient referred to our clinic with gradual deterioration of vision for the age of 1 year mostly in the right eye. Ophthalmic examination confirmed reduced visual acuity with only perception of light in the left eye. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid mass lesion involving the hypothalamus and the optic chiasm, which was hypointense on T1-weighted images, hyperintense on T2-WI, and marked homogenous contrast enhancement. The patient was operated and bulging of the optic chiasm and the site of lamina terminalis was seen. Subtotal resection of the tumor was achieved. Histopathological examination revealed ganglioglioma (WHO Grade I). Follow-up of the patient was for 3 years and 8 months with stable neurologic and radiologic findings.

Conclusion:

To the best of our knowledge, 20 cases, including ours, have been reported in the literature and a presurgical diagnosis of ganglioglioma is very infrequent with confused radiologically with low-grade pilocytic astrocytomas.
Endoscopic brainwash after clipping a ruptured aneurysm of the communicating segment of the intracranial carotid artery
Authors: Costa Marcos Devanir Silva da , Lopes Renan R. de Souza , Serrato-Avila Juan Leonardo , Cavalheiro Sergio , Chaddad-Neto Feres
Published: November 2020

Background:

Intracranial aneurysms are common vascular malformation occurring in 1-2% of the population and accounting for 80–85% of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages. About 10% of the ruptured aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SHA) develop intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). In this scenario, the external ventricular drain (EVD) is a usual treatment for IVH. To reduce the time for the clot absorption, the neuroendoscopy with clot removal and ventricular irrigation is a feasible option, although not routinely used.

Case Description:

This 2D video shows a case of a 60-year-old female, with sudden headache associated with nausea and vomit. The brain angiotomography revealed aneurysm in the communicating segment of the left internal carotid artery, with 10.5 mm of diameter; also showed intraparenchymal, subarachnoid, and IVH, with a Fisher Modified Grade of 4 and a prompt aneurysm clipping and EVD were performed. Two days after the first surgical procedure, a neuroendoscopy was performed to remove the ventricular clots and improve the patient outcomes.

Conclusion:

In the presented case, at the 6th postoperative month, the patient was Grade 1 in the Rankin Modified Scale and without hydrocephalus. This procedure can be used routinely as an additional tool to microsurgical clipping to improve patients outcome.
Perseverancia, pasión y actitud de vida en tiempos del “ya-ya y ya-fue”
Authors: Barni María Cecilia , Daura F.T. , Llull Laura , Elizalde Carolina
Published: November 2020

This study -part of a broader one- whose objectives aims to describe life attitude and grit in students of a military college in Argentina and analyze the relation between the dimensions that make up the two mentioned constructs and various sociodemographic variables. A non-probabilistic and convenience sample integrates the age group inserted in the society of uncertainty and immediacy, also called the “ya ya o ya fue” (García Pintos, 2012) where young people tend to abandon their projects (Messing, 2009). The personal sense as a construct is conceptualized as the existential belief that life has a purpose. Reker and Woo (2011) claim that people draw meaning from a variety of sources, including recreational activities, meeting basic needs, creative activities, personal relationships, personal and academic achievements. This sense of life is the knowledge that each person needs to know to develop their vital objectives. Grit, defined as the passion and perseverance to achieve long-term goals, implies resisting with effort and interest the challenges that may arise, regardless of the difficulties, the monotony and any failures experienced. It is a quality shared by leaders (Duckworth, 127 Peterson, Matthews and Kelly, 2007), particularly those who set medium and long-range objectives and who cling to them to make them a reality. The sample was composed of 160 students, who were administered an ad hoc sociodemographic questionnaire, the Grit Scale (Duckworth et al., 2007), which is in the process of validation (Tortul and Daura, in evaluation) and the Life Attitude Test (LAP-R (VE-AA) in the Argentinian adaptation (Barni, 2017). A correlational descriptive statistical analysis was carried out. The results showed that the participants score high on Purpose (P), Choice/ Responsibility (C/R) dimensions of the LAP-R and Effort Perseverance of Grit. The analysis showed that there are no significant differences by age group except in the E/R dimension –the group of 20 to 25 years have the highest scores–. When divided into age range and gender, women show significant differences in the Existential Vacuum (VE) dimension and men have a tendency in the E/R and P dimensions of the Life Attitude test. In conclusion, this work shows relevant information in professional training, decision making in the educational style and institutional management to collaborate in the integral and professional training as specific and particular as the military, in aspects such as character formation, leadership, etc., especially in times where the radical and immediate changes complicate the forecast of the knowledge involved in future professional performances. However, it is known that the skills of the Grit and the attitude of life collaborate in the vital projects.
Hydroethanolic leaf extract of Parthenium hysterophorus attenuates blood glucose in alloxan induced diabetic mice.

Published: November 2020

The Parthenium hysterophorus (P. hysterophorus) is used to treat diabetes mellitus in
local medicinal system of Pakistan but very limited scientifically proved information is
available in this context. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant and
antidiabetic activity of P. hysterophorus leaf extract. The extraction was made with freeze
drying assisted ultrasonication using 40%, 60% and 80% ethanol as solvent. The total
phenolic and flavonoid contents were calculated. Antioxidant activity was determined by
2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and α-glucosidase inhibitory assay was also
performed. The in vivo hypoglycemic potential of leaf extract was determined in alloxan
monohydrate induced diabetic mice. The 60% ethanolic extract exhibited comparatively
higher phenolic and flavonoid contents with values of 105.44±2.55 mg GAE/g D.E and
41.50±2.25 mg RE/g D.E, respectively. The 60% extract also possessed lowest IC50 value
of 87.55 μg/mL and 98.22 μg/mL for DPPH radical scavenging and α-glucosidase
inhibition, respectively. The same extract substantially reduced the blood glucose level in
alloxan induced diabetic mice and results were quite comparable with standard drug
metformin. The extract dose of 450 mg/kg reduced the blood glucose level of diabetic
mice from 268.05 mg/dL 137.88 mg/dL at the end of 28 days treatment. The findings
confirmed the ethnopharmacological use of P. hysterophorus to treat and manage diabetes
mellitus type 2. The experimental outcomes may be employed as pharmacological leads to
treat diabetes mellitus and to develop functional foods with hypoglycemic attributes.
Linguistic dimension of a text: the role of written discourse strategies in textualization process
Authors: KAZAZOĞLU Semin
Published: November 2020

This study presents the discourse structure of written texts in the frame of text-linguistics. Writing is a linguistic skill and discourse activity that is demonstrated by using a writing system that can also be examined in terms of individual, social, and linguistic aspects. In terms of an individual point of view, writing is linked to perception, pattern, memory, and psychology. On the other hand, writing is a social formation that covers social knowledge, linguistics, and sociology. Besides, writing is intertwined with textual and linguistic issues. Several studies have emphasized the role and importance of written discourse strategies in gaining writing competence. These strategies are cognitive components that guide writers to use their linguistic, grammatical, and contextual knowledge in the process of second language writing. In this study, discourse elements that are used in the process of writing in a second language were examined. According to the findings of the study, it is concluded that the written discourse includes structural, functional, and hyper-text traces in which the readers discover the text. For this reason, it is significant to highlight and describe the components of text-linguistics such as discourse interaction, co-text, context, and the rhetorical features in the process of teaching L2 writing. There are some pedagogical implications of this study that are drawn from the literature. Accordingly, writing teachers need to be equipped to deal with predicting both individual and linguistic content of writing effectively. Besides, they should place central importance on teaching the stages of textualization and written discourse. In this way, students may internalize the writing process as a whole and use their literary and cultural schemata properly.
Who is an effective clinical teacher from the perspectives of medical students and residents?
Authors: Ooi Shirley Beng Suat , Tan Clement Woon Teck , Frambach Janneke M.
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Almost all published literature on effective clinical teachers were from western countries and only two compared medical students with residents. Hence, this study aims to explore the perceived characteristics of effective clinical teachers among medical students compared to residents graduating from an Asian medical school, and specifically whether there are differences between cognitive and non-cognitive domain skills, to inform faculty development.
Methods: This qualitative study was conducted at the National University Health System (NUHS), Singapore involving six final year medical students at the National University of Singapore, and six residents from the NUHS Residency programme. Analysis of the semi-structured one-on-one interviews was done using a 3-step approach based on principles of Grounded Theory.
Results: There are differences in the perceptions of effective clinical teachers between medical students and residents. Medical students valued a more didactic spoon-feeding type of teacher in their earlier clinical years. However final year medical students and residents valued feedback and role-modelling at clinical practice. The top two characteristics of approachability and passion for teaching are in the non-cognitive domains. These seem foundational and lead to the acquisition of effective teaching skills such as the ability to simplify complex concepts and creating a conducive learning environment. Being exam-oriented is a new characteristic not identified before in “Western-dominated” publications.
Conclusion: The results of this study will help to inform educators of the differences in a learner’s needs at different stages of their clinical development and to potentially adapt their teaching styles.
Integrated Reservoir Management Strategy in Sisi Nubi Mature Gas Field to Unlock Reserves and Production Optimization
Authors: Azhar R. M. P.
Published: November 2020

Sisi and Nubi are two gas fields located in the Mahakam Delta, 25 km offshore the modern Mahakam Delta to the east, in 60-80m of water depth. Sisi was discovered in 1986 and Nubi in 1992. The fields have been in production since November 2007 from 5 wellhead platforms. Peak production reached 450 MMscfd in 2010, and by the end of 2019 the average production is 150 MMscfd with cumulative production around 1.28 Tcf of gas and 31.3 MMstb of condensate. Having gravel pack and tubingless as well completion in Sisi Nubi leads to several limitations such as some reservoirs were not perforated due to Gravel Pack (GP) technical limitation or are not accessible due to some restrictions such as bridge plug and sediment. Building a simple yet vivid and properly integrated reservoir management strategy was done to tackle the aforementioned issue. The work was to map the remaining potential as well as production risk of both perforated and unperforated reservoirs and to develop the integrated production and development strategy for Sisi Nubi’s optimum’s production and recovery. The works involved multi entities; geoscientists, reservoir engineers, well intervention, and also the well performance team. Up to 2000 meters of unperforated reservoirs within 664 intervals, have been thoroughly studied, covering detailed geological correlation at reservoir scale, initial and current fluid status, driving mechanism, current pressure estimation, and reservoir-level volumetric calculation. Well obstacle classification based on the difficulty level to re-access perforation targets as a well strategy to produce reservoirs were performed in joint coordination with the well intervention team. The final deliverables are selected candidates that qualified both technical criteria and stakes were proposed for execution. An increase of Fifty-five (55) Bcf of stated reserves from existing wells have been booked thanks to this work. In addition, having the systematic strategy allows optimum offshore intervention barge planning.

Published: November 2020

Attainment of universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy is one of the goals for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Existing data and statistic suggest that high proportion of households in less developed countries heavily rely on solid fuels for domestic requirements. Also, recent data revealed that in Nigeria over 70 percent of households depend on fuel wood for cooking which indicate the task ahead of policy makers in the country for ensuring access to efficient sources of energy before the expiration of sustainable development goals. In this study we empirically examined socio-economic factors that influence households’ likelihood of energy consumption in Nigeria. In order to achieve our specific objectives, we adopt 2013 demographic health survey dataset for Nigeria and multinomial logistic regression was conducted in analyzing the factors affecting households’ decision for energy demand. Evidence from the study revealed that demographic characteristics, economic status, public awareness and social variables are strong determinants of households’ energy choice in the country and conformed to the propositions of “Energy Ladder Hypothesis”. We concluded by presenting concluding remarks and policy implications for decision making toward ensuring access to affordable, sustainable and efficient energy in Nigeria.
THE IMPACT OF MICROFINANCE BANKS IN RURAL AREAS OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Authors: Musanganya Isabelle , Nyinawumuntu Chantal , Nyirahagenimana Pauline
Published: November 2020

Many researchers consider microfinance as a tool for poverty reduction. Even more, especially in post-conflict African countries, micro-financial institutions are seen as an opportunity of reconciliation. Lending from microfinance institutions to that from traditional banks and examine their respective effects upon economic growth has been practiced in some sub-Saharan countries. Considerable progress in research has been found that microfinance loans raise growth comparatively to that of traditional banks. A lot of number of researches carried out in sub-Saharan countries even in other developing countries outside of Africa did not find strong evidence that bank loans raise growth. There is, however, some evidence that bank loans do increase investment, whereas microfinance loans do not appear to do so. Differently, other researchers highlighted clearly that microfinance can provide its contribution on poverty reduction and better access to finance needed for startup micro-entrepreneurs along the world. These results suggest that microfinance loans are not primarily invested as physical capital in developing countries, but could still augment total factor productivity, whereas banks may have been financing non-productive investments. Herein, we highlighted the impact of microfinance banks on developing countries economic growth. We also indicate how microfinances system incorporated in rural areas boosted the lifestyle of poor people in Sub-Saharan Africa.

La planificación del turismo comunitario es una necesidad para el óptimo desarrollo local de las comunidades receptoras. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo estructurar una serie de programas y proyectos basados en la utilización de herramientas participativas de diagnóstico, que contribuyan a la planificación turística de la comunidad Piedra de Plata, en Manabí. Luego de varias reuniones con la comunidad, se lograron identificar diferentes factores que inciden en el desarrollo local, a través de la utilización de matrices de diagnóstico de factores internos (EFI) y de factores externos (EFE), dicha valoración se la obtuvo en función del nivel de relación existente entre estos factores. Se complementó el estudio con la actualización del inventario de recursos naturales mediante la utilización de la ficha automatizada de inventario de atractivos turísticos del Ministerio de Turismo del Ecuador (2017). Como resultado de la valoración y correlación de los factores internos y externos identificados, se definieron estrategias de desarrollo, las mismas que han sido transformadas en programas y proyectos para la comunidad, y que pasarán a formar parte de una propuesta comunitaria integrada que será elevada a las autoridades seccionales. En esta investigación se tomó en cuenta el potencial que posee el suelo agrícola del área de estudio; además que representa una oportunidad para la implementación de modalidades sostenibles como el agroturismo, unido a la demanda de uno de los chocolates más cotizados del mundo, cuya materia prima es extraída de esta zona, lo que influye en la posible generación de productos e infraestructura turística para la comunidad.
Does Mind-Wandering Relate to Mood and Stress in Young Adults? A Narrative Review
Authors: Sina Gladys , Plourde Vickie
Published: November 2020

Mind-wandering (MW) is ubiquitous and has been extensively studied in young adults. Studies have shown that MW, daydreaming, and sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms (SCT; e.g., staring, mental fogginess, confusion, hypoactivity, sluggishness, lethargy, and drowsiness) are interrelated constructs and all relate to mood and stress-related symptoms. The aims of the current review are to a) document the associations between MW (and related constructs: daydreaming, and SCT) and mood/stress-related symptoms (e.g., anxiety and depression symptoms) in young adults and b) identify potential mechanisms underlying these relationships. We conducted a narrative review of the literature on the subject. We searched MEDLINE (Ovid) and PsycINFO® (Ovid) databases and performed duplicate and independent screening. A total of 559 unique records were identified, and 22 records (published between 1978 and 2017) were included. We confirmed existing evidence of the associations between MW, daydreaming, SCT and mood/stress-related symptoms in young adults (aged 18 - 30 years). Although these associations are reported, our understanding of its directionality and underlying mechanisms remains incomplete. These findings highlight the need for further research combining experimental and correlational designs and including possible mechanisms of these associations in this population.

This paper studies the Christianization, and consequent indigenization of faith, by the Māori on the North Island of New Zealand in the nineteenth century. The Christianization of the Māori illuminates the process of indigenization by which foreign faiths are adopted by native populations. In examining the Christianization of the Māori, one can come to understand the process of indigenization, that is the adoption of a foreign faith by a native population. Understanding the conversion process by the British on an indigenous population allows contemporary scholars to not only acknowledge the truth of the past, but also move forward with explanations regarding the current state of relations between settlers (Pākehā) and the indigenous (Māori), as well as between the Māori and their varying faiths. Specifically, in this paper Iargue that the process of conversion, as well as the impact of missionization and Pākehā desire for land, contributed to the development of Māori prophetic movements, an indigenized form of faith, which exemplified the complexities of British missionization in the nineteenth century.
Beth Caldwell's Reading Experience
Authors: Haber Shelby Elizabeth
Published: November 2020

Near the end of the nineteenth century, Sarah Grand coined the phrase "New Woman," which was influential throughout the first wave of the feminist movement. This paper examines how Sarah Grand's representation of Beth Caldwell's reading habits in her novel The Beth Book acts as a metaphor for the subversive femininity of the New Woman. My project explores the ways in which Grand's feminist ideals are reflected in The Beth Book through the scenes when Beth is reading. I suggest that Beth's atypical engagement with books as textual and physical objects can be equated to social dissent. However, Grand also portrays Beth reading within educational and marital institutions. These experiences lead Beth's engagement with the text to become similar to common nineteenth-century reading practices. I conclude with the argument that Grand represents any personal engagement with a book, even if it is not especially radical, as capable of re-evaluating systemically-enforced interpretations.

In this study, the hopelessness levels of the senior students studying at Pre-school and Primary school Teaching in 2017-2018 academic year were examined in terms of different variables. That study is conducted in a survey model research. A total of 114 students that consist of 47 primary school and 67 pre-primary teachers. "Beck Hopelessness Scale" developed by Beck and "Personal Information Form" developed by researchers were used as a data collection tools. In addition to demographic features, only one open-ended question is included in the personal information form. In the analysis of qualitative data, content analysis technique was used. As a result of the research, it was determined that the hopelessness level of pre-service teachers was at a medium level close to high (X̄ = 14.37). There was a significant difference in the hopelessness levels of pre-service teachers according to the family communication variable. On the other hand, the hopelessness levels of the candidates did not differ significantly according to the relationship of friendship, living with or away from the family, education level of the parents and monthly income. According to the results of the qualitative data obtained in the research, most of the participants related the cause of despair to professional problems. These results underline the need for support in order to ensure that prospective teachers who are trained in the basic education department and who are at the graduation stage can look forward to the future with hope. These results underline that various studies and researches are needed to decrease the level of hopelessness of senior students.

Reflexões acerca do corpo e da sexualidade da mulher na dança oriental: comparativos entre Brasil-Egito sob a ótica foucaultiana
Authors: Monteiro Solange Aparecida de Souza , Scaringi Vanessa Cristina
Published: November 2020

A arte se classifica por meio dos tempos, desde os mais remotos, nas mais distintas características artísticas, como forma de se olhar o mundo. Dentre as artes mais apreciadas, a arte da dança, presente desde as mais antigas civilizações, perdura nos tempos modernos, encantando gerações. Por meio da dança, seja qual for o estilo, fala-se, escreve-se, desenha-se, sonha-se, utilizando o corpo. A arte da dança potencializa as experiências corporais nas diferentes organizações sociais. A sua importância se faz vigente em cada época da história e é tão singular que se modifica e se transforma, seguindo presente desde as mais antigas civilizações. Pretende-se oportunizar ao sujeito no campo das sensibilidades, a partir da dança, permitindo-o a vivenciar uma experiência cognitiva/afetiva proporcionando disrupção no modo de ler/pensar e agir, sobre si, o outro e o mundo de forma ética e reflexiva. Deste modo, a referente pesquisa qualitativa buscou analisar as semelhanças e diferenças do corpo e da sexualidade da mulher na dança oriental no Brasil e no Egito por meio da análise temática. Os resultados esperados sinalizam para uma melhoria dos modos de dançar de forma prazerosa e crítica com maior envolvimento emocional, sinalizam a criação do ambiente de espontaneidade e criatividade permitindo-o a se embrenhar pela linguagem corporal, possibilita construção e reconstrução do olhar, a estimulação da imaginação, autoafirmação e autonomia, além de se habituar à existência de convivência de forma. Nesse sentido, a arte pode ser inovadora ao se desdobrar para um projeto de vida, na (re)construção de novas subjetividades, impactando novos modos de existência.
