BNC – Formação de Professores: da completa subordinação das políticas educacionais à BNCC ao caminho da resistência propositiva
Authors: Ximenes Priscilla de Andrade Silva , Melo Geovana Ferreira
Published: December 2022

O artigo analisa impactos da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e da Base Nacional Comum para a Formação de Professores (BNC-Formação) na tentativa de padronização do currículo e do trabalho docente sob a lógica do capital, das políticas neoliberais e da ordenação do Estado mínimo. Discute também como o engendramento da educação e da formação docente tem se pautado por um ideário determinado pelo mercado com base nos princípios administrativos e empresariais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso na Rede Municipal de Ensino (RME) de Goiânia, realizada mediante análise da legislação educacional e de entrevistas com um grupo de professoras formadoras. Os resultados apontam para a reconfiguração da formação continuada na RME de Goiânia, subsidiada pela premissa pragmática e tecnocrata de educação e de formação docente prescrita pela BNCC e pela BNC-Formação.

Published: December 2022

O principal objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre os museus virtuais como campo de construção de conhecimento na formação inicial do pedagogo. É um estudo propositivo, desenvolvido com base em levantamento bibliográfico e estudo exploratório, tratando das possibilidades de construção do conhecimento histórico e geográfico pelo futuro docente. Evidencia-se como mediação o total de 47 museus virtuais, sendo 25 disponíveis no portal Era Virtual e 22 na plataforma Museusbr, tendo em vista que a implementação da proposta curricular da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) constitui uma das demandas recentes na formação de professores. Compreende-se que os museus virtuais são campos de conhecimento, nos quais os professores em formação inicial têm, entre outras possibilidades: a descoberta de objetos de conhecimento ali existentes; a construção de estruturas cognitivas; a aquisição do conhecimento histórico e geográfico. A ação didática com os museus virtuais possibilita ao pedagogo em formação inicial a apropriação de unidades temáticas, objetos de conhecimento e habilidades propostos pela BNCC, para as aulas de História e Geografia no 5º ano do ensino fundamental. Portanto, os museus virtuais são “laboratórios” de experimentações na formação inicial do professor, favorecendo a construção de noções sobre espaço-tempo e a aquisição de competências e habilidades.

Plastic waste is a major environmental problem due to its widespread presence and lack of economic value. Pyrolysis is a process that can decompose plastic waste and produce methane gas, liquid, and solid products. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect methane gas production and the amount of methane gas produced during the pyrolysis of various plastics, including a black plastic bag and plastic with aluminium foil. The results showed that the aluminium foil plastic produced more methane gas than the black bag, with optimal gas content at 7.74% for the aluminium foil plastic and 3.48% for the black bag. The type of plastic, time, and temperature all significantly affected the yield of methane gas produced. In addition, the interaction between variables in plastic type, time and temperature greatly affects the yield of methane gas (CH4) obtained, because the type of plastic F count (2904) is higher than F table 0.05 (4.00), at temperature F count (5449) is greater than F table 0.05 (2.76), when F count (746) is greater than F table 0.05 (2.76). In conclusion, the snack foil produced more methane gas than the black bag because it was made of low-density polyethylene and contained aluminium ions that catalysed the decomposition of the material, resulting in an increase in the amount of methane gas produced.

STAGNASI TAFSIR FALSAFI DAN KURIOSITAS AL-QURAN
Authors: Fadal Kurdi
Published: December 2022

Tafsir Falsafi (philosophical exegesis) is one of of the Islamic intellectual resource that have occupied the intellectualism of Muslim thinkers since the early period. However, the epistemological side of the interpretation model was problematic, as it creates controversy among the readers. Today, the controversy is still frequently found from some thinkers of the Quranic studies. This paper discusses Muhammad Husain al-Zahabi’s thoughts on philosophical interpretation. Utilized a library research, this paper uses content analysis method to analyze al-Zahabi's thoughts. This paper emphasizes that in al-Zahabi's works, especially in his book, al-Tafsir wa al-Mufassirun, he rejected philosophical interpretations which only make products of Greek philosophical thought as the main tools Quranic interpretation. Offered by Muslim philosophers such as al-Farabi, Ibn Sina and the Ikhwanus Shafa, It was considered by al-Zahabi to be very dangerous for the Muslims faith. In addition, their offer of interpretation model is considered far from the truth value of religion (Islam). However, this assessment actually confirms the stagnation of philosophical interpretation in the constellation of Islamic thought so that it has an impact on the weak implementation of the Qur'anic curiosity.

Background

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a significant disease characterized by high mortality and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence/100 000 inhabitants and the in-hospital mortality/100 000 inhabitants of IE during the last 10 years in the province of Ravenna.

Methods and results

We reviewed the public hospitals discharge database from January 2010 to December 2020 using the international classification of disease codification (ICD-9) for IE. We used the Italian national statistical institute (ISTAT) archive to estimate the number of Ravenna inhabitants/year. In 10 years, we identified a total of 407 patients with diagnosis of IE.

The incidence of IE increased significantly from 6.29 cases/100 000 inhabitants in 2010 to 19.58 cases/100 000 inhabitants in 2020 (P < 0.001). Also, the in-hospital mortality from IE increased over the same number of years, from 1.8 deaths/100 000 inhabitants in 2010 to 4.4 deaths/100 000 inhabitants in 2020 (P < 0.001). The mortality rate (%) of IE over the years did not increase (P = 0.565). Also, over the years there was no difference in the site of infection (P = 0.372), irrespective of the valve localization or type, native valve (P = 0.347) or prosthetic valve (P = 0.145). On logistic regression analysis, age was the only predictor of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 1.045, 95% confidence interval: 1.015; 1.075, P = 0.003)

Conclusions

Ravenna-based data on IE showed increased disease incidence but unchanged mortality rate over 10 years of follow-up. Age remains the sole predictor of population-based mortality, irrespective of the nature of the valve, native or substitute, and the organism detected on microbiology.

Published: December 2022

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has identified 16 substances as priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are harmful to humans, including anthracene and phenanthrene. These substances are pervasive pollutants introduced into the environment through anthropogenic and natural processes, causing ecological concerns and necessitating the quest for new strains capable of biodegrading these toxins. A novel strain of the genus Pseudomonas was isolated and molecularly identified based on partial 16S rRNA and phylogenetic analysis as Pseudomonas stutzeri strain BUK_BTEG1 from petrochemical contaminated soil. One factor at a time (OFAT) in Bushnell-Haas (BH) media was used to optimize the strain’s biodegradation conditions. The isolate could grow up to 600 mgL−1 and 400 mgL−1 of anthracene and phenanthrene as the sole carbon source at an optimum pH of 7.0 and 7.5 respectively, inoculum concentration of 4% (v/v), and temperature of 35°C during 72 hours of incubation. The strain could degrade phenanthrene and anthracene to a maximum of 99 and 72 percent, respectively, under ideal conditions. The breakdown products’ GC-MS analysis revealed the existence of the pathway’s main metabolites, catechol, salicylic acid, and derivatives of phthalic acid. The strain exhibits promising potential for use in the bio-cleansing of environments contaminated by PAHs.metabolites.

Published: December 2022

In this study, we focus on two arthritic diseases that affect a large part of the population, which cause inflammatory disorders of the joints and oxidative stress, which can cause certain degrees of disability. Arthritis is a chronic disease frequently encountered in the world’s population. Osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, are two extensive forms of arthritis associated with pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints and a low standard of life. Many drugs are used in their treatment, associated with some severe side effects and expensive prices. Today there are many studies carried out with extracts from medicinal plants, used in alternative therapy, and effective in these diseases. They are available for clinical use due to the active phytoconstituents that modulate inflammation and are antioxidants. In carrying out this study, electronic databases were screened: Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar, trying to describe these medicinal plants, and elucidate their biological mechanisms of action. The most numerous references were found on the following plants: Arctium lappa, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Nigella sativa, Urtica dioica, etc. vary parts of plants are used such as different types of seeds, roots, leaves, fruit, bark, flowers, or even the whole plant.

Global warming is becoming a major concern affecting many components of the biodiversity at a global scale and disproportionately affecting the integrity of ecosystems, particularly the habitat of endemic species. Understanding its impacts on most vulnerable species is essential to improve knowledge on the ecology of these species and for their long-term management and conservation. Abies marocana Trabut (Moroccan fir), a remarkable forest tree of the Mediterranean basin, is an endangered species that is present in discreet small areas of the Rif Mountains, which is highly vulnerable to the ongoing climate warming and facing severe anthropogenic pressures. For conservation and management purposes, our work focused on improving understanding of the impacts of future climate change on the distribution of this species through its habitat suitability modeling. The maximum entropy approach was used, which achieved good predictive abilities. Habitat suitability was identified and then predicted under current and future climate conditions. A significant change and a gradual regression of the habitat suitability to A. marocana was shown under different future climate scenarios. The magnitude of the simulated changes is important and tends to have negative consequences for Moroccan fir conservation. For this purpose, outputs from models are useful to improve our knowledge about the ecology of A. marocana, and predictive maps produced under current and future climate conditions constitute reflection tools available to scientists and managers to better integrate actual and future climate impacts into existing and upcoming management strategies to prevent any future locale extinction.

Published: December 2022

Astacus astacus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a vulnerable species. Through comprehensive monitoring, we have determined the current spatial distribution of the populations in two streams of the Western Carpathian Massif. In the investigated part of the streams, we did not detect the presence of a source of chemical contamination with hazardous substances causing aquatic animal mortality or significant deterioration of the environmental quality. We sampled at 30 study sites and examined 223 individuals, more than a third of which showed abnormalities, physical damage, body deformation, or the presence of ectosymbionts. External abnormalities were related to the carapace and abdomen; in both sexes, the most frequent were on the claws (amputation, stunting, and mechanical damage); in males, we frequently observed amputation of antennae, carapace damage, or commissural damage; in females, we also found very low egg counts or stunted antennae, deformities of the pleopods, or telson deformities. On the bodies of crayfish, we confirmed the presence of ectosymbionts from the genus Branchiobdella as well.

Published: December 2022

It is commonly known that two carbon dioxide treatments accelerate the beginning of egg laying in honey bee queens. However, the minimum time between anaesthesias needed for ovary activation has not yet been examined. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of time between carbon dioxide treatments on the onset of oviposition in instrumentally inseminated and virgin queen honey bees. About half of the queens were anaesthetised before insemination and a second time during insemination, and the rest of the queens were anaesthetised two times without insemination. The time between carbon dioxide treatments was as follows: 96, 48, 24, 12, 6, 3 hrs, 10 min, 5–6 sec. Queens in a control group were anaesthetised only once. The mean number of days between the second treatment and the onset of oviposition in particular groups and in the control group was 10.3, 7.6, 9.9, 10.5, 7.8, 10.9, 14.2, 15 and 21.9, respectively, and the median was 9, 7, 7, 8, 7, 8.5, 11.5, 13 and 21 days, respectively. Queens in groups 5–6 sec and 10 min began oviposition significantly earlier than those in control group, but significantly later than in groups from 3 to 96 hrs. Instrumentally inseminated queens started to lay eggs at the same time (mean 12 and median 9 days after second treatment) as queens treated with carbon dioxide without insemination (mean 11.7 and median 9 days).
Washboarding: Are Man-Managed Honeybees Performing a Vestigial Activity Fostered by Cryptogams?
Authors: Giovanetti Manuela , Máguas Cristina , Munzi Silvana
Published: December 2022

A common view is that honeybees are mostly managed by beekeepers for commercial purposes or as a hobby, especially in Europe. This misconception is probably due to the lack of systematic studies on wild colonies of honeybees in Europe in comparison to other regions of the world. Since we are used to considering this species as “domesticated”, we may be induced to disregard activities not distinctly linked with colony survival, reproduction, or productivity. Washboarding is one of them in which the entire colony stops resource collection activities; numerous individual bees assemble on the front side of the hive and perform repetitive movements back and forth. They are curiously synchronised but apparently without a scope. In this exploratory work, we carried out a literature review of available, mostly grey, literature. Assuming this behaviour may be linked to cavity-nesting and to tree trunks or rocks being rough surfaces hosting various cryptogams, we performed preliminary observations and manipulative experiments. From our survey, we depict that washboarding is frequently reported in grey literature/beekeepers’ reports, but rarely mentioned in scientific literature. Beekeepers who responded to a designed questionnaire observed this behaviour in various ecological situations, with no trend emerging. Our preliminary experiment of placing cryptogams in front of managed hives resulted in honeybees removing lichens (foliose types) or covering with propolis, and all species were affected. Further research is needed to clarify if lichens are removed because of their chemical compounds, because of hosting potentially toxic microorganisms, or collected as resources.

Published: December 2022

A polyester plasticizer (RSOP) for polyvinyl chloride based on rubber seed oil (RSO) was synthesized. Firstly, RSO monoglyceride were synthesized by the transesterification of RSO with glycerol at 220–240 °C. Secondly, RSOP was synthesized from RSO monoglyceride and adipic acid by esterification. The polyester plasticizer was characterized by GPC, FT-IR, 1H NMR and DSC. Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials with RSOP and dioctyl phthalate (DOP) in varying ratios were prepared via thermal melting process, RSOP was used as a second plasticizer. The properties of the plasticized PVC materials were characterized by a universal testing machine, TGA, DMA and solvent extraction resistance. The obtained PVC materials showed improved thermal stability and lower glass transition temperature than PVC. Solvent extraction resistance and plasticization of plasticized PVC were also improved. This study provides a new strategy for preparing bio-based polyester plasticizer from RSO.
Influence of enzymatic pretreatment on yield and chemical composition of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil
Authors: Dzięcioł Małgorzata
Published: December 2022

Effect of enzymatic pretreatment before hydrodistillation process on yield and composition of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil was studied. Results obtained by using two selected commercial enzymes applied in food and beverage industry were compared. Control process with non-enzymatic pretreatment in analogous conditions was also performed for proper interpretation of results. Application of gas chromatography with mass selective detector (GC-MS) enabled analysis and comparison of essential oils composition. Moreover, total phenolic content (TPC) was determined spectrophotometrically in post-processing hydrolates, which are also valuable products e.g. for cosmetic applications. Modifications of isolation process by pretreatment with selected enzymes resulted in significant increase in essential oil yields in comparison to conventional hydrodistillation and control process with non-enzymatic pretreatment in analogous conditions. No substantial changes in the composition of obtained essential oils were observed. In post-processing hydrolates higher values of total phenolic content (TPC) were found both after enzymatic and non-enzymatic pretreatment.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of Confucius Institute in Shaping China’s National Image in Botswana in the case of CI Students. The Confucius Institute at the University of Botswana (CIUB) is employed as a case study which is identified as the most active Chinese soft power instrument in Botswana. The paper uses a qualitative research method to help better understand the benefits and limitations of CIUB in creating China’s positive image in Botswana. Primary data is obtained from questionnaires whilst secondary data is derived from journal papers, thesis, and books. The study is framed by soft power theory to assist in learning how China utilises its soft power to improve its image in Botswana. The analysis revealed that CIUB has been fruitful in promoting Chinese language and culture in Botswana impacting positively on China’s national image. The findings of the study show that CIUB has the potential to clear some negative perceptions about China in Botswana. However, the limitation as indicated by the study is that CIUB does not have wide coverage of the population of Botswana as it targets mostly students. It is suggested that CIUB as a single tool cannot fully address all the concerns affecting China’s image.
(Sub)cultural specificity of fiction simile and the choice of translation strategy
Authors: Martynyuk Alla , Akhmedova Elvira
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we combine methodological tools of cognitive linguistics and translation studies to establish correlations between translation procedures applied to render English fiction similes into Ukrainian, and the (sub)cultural specificity of the conceptual mappings that license linguistic expression of the similes and prompt translators’ decisions in favour of foreignization or domestication. We revealed five translation procedures (retention, replacement, reduction, omission, and addition) that contribute to foreignization or domestication (complete compulsory or complete optional, and partial compulsory or partial optional). Foreignization presupposes retention of a source-text simile based on a (sub)culture-specific conceptual mapping. Complete compulsory domestication entails replacement, reduction or omission of such a simile. Partial compulsory domestication involves retention of a (sub)culture-specific simile with implicit or explicit explanation of its sense. Complete optional domestication realizes as replacement, reduction or omission of a source-text simile that does not bear any (sub)cultural specificity as well as addition of a simile in the target text to translate a source-text utterance containing no simile. Partial optional domestication implies combining retention of a simile bearing no (sub)cultural specificity with implicit or explicit explanation of its sense.
