O presente estudo tem como objetivo comparar a performance neuromuscular de mulheres da faixa etária de 60 a 68 anos. Participaram desta pesquisa 10 mulheres que praticavam caminhada (G1) e 10 mulheres que praticavam hidroginástica (G2), com médias de idade de 63,4 e 65,3, respectivamente. Para isso, foram utilizados testes neuromusculares que avaliaram o equilíbrio e mobilidade funcional, a flexibilidade, a força de resistência dinâmica de membros inferiores e a potência muscular de membros superiores através dos testes 'time up and go", sentar e alcançar, levantar e sentar e arremesso de "medicine ball". Comparando-se os dois grupos verificou-se um melhor desempenho estatisticamente significaticante para o grupo G1 em relação ao G2 somente para teste 'time up and go" (p < 0,05).   Portanto, podemos concluir que a caminhada apresentou um melhor resultado no equilíbrio e mobilidade funcional que a hidroginástica.

Forstå, ikke bare gjøre. – Hva skjer i gruppesamtaler blant elever i videregående skole under eksperimenter i fysikk?
Authors: Stormo Arne , Grip Jorunn
Published: January 2024

Practical work has a significant place in physics teaching, but is often performed according to a recipe and with little reflection among the students (Abrahams & Millar, 2008). In this study, we wanted to enhance the learning potential by letting students work with experiments in heterogeneous groups. We have listened to the group dialogues when the students plan the experiment and when they work with the results. We find five prominent themes in the student dialogues: Students encourage each other, challenge each other academically, substantiate their claims, connect theory to the practical work they do, and interpret the meaning of formulas and units. These are qualities that have been shown to promote learning (Abrahams & Millar, 2008; Bagno, Berger & Eylon, 2008; Mercer, 1995) and illustrates how the students are able to use physics during their dialogues.

Faida ya Kujifunza kwa Kuegemea Mfumo wa Isimu ya Kiswahili: Mfano wa China
Authors: Yi Ning , Bosire Fredrick Maiso
Published: January 2024

Makala hii inachunguza changamoto na faida zilizopo kwa wanaojifunza Kiswahili kwa kutumia mifumo ya kiada iliyopo nchini China. Mifumo hii inaweza kujumuishwa katika makundi mawili . Kundi la kwanza ni mfumo ulioenea nchini China, kama maeneo mengine ulimwenguni, ambao hugawa nomino katika umoja na wingi kama kielelezo kikuu. Kundi la pili ni mfumo ambao umetungwa kwa kuiegemea isimu ya Kiswahili na ya lugha yake mame ya Kibantu. Data zilikusanywa uwandani kwa njia ya hojaji na mahojiano ya ana kwa ana. Mbinu zilizotumika katika uchanganuzi wa data ni mkabala wa kimaelezo. Uchambuzi uliongozwa na Nadharia ya Uamilifu. Matokeo yanaonesha kuwa mfumo ulioenea China si tofauti na ule ulioanzishwa nyakati za ukoloni, wakati ambapo mfumo wa isimu ya Kiswahili haukutambulika na hata manufaa yake katika utunzi wa mitaala na vitabu vya Kiswahili hayakutiliwa maanani. Ingawa hali hii huonekana kama inawafaa wanaoanza kujifunza Kiswahili angalau mwanzoni, baada ya muda mfupi huwa bayana kuwa baadhi ya masuala yanayofundishwa katika lugha hii hayaelezeki kwa njia mwanana kimfumo.
Trying the Sails from the Lamu Archipelago to the Arabian Gulf: The ‘death’ of Mtepe and Subsequent Rise of Jahazi
Authors: Olali Tom
Published: January 2024

Matondoni village in the Lamu archipelago is known for its jahazi (dhow) building tradition. The Swahili used to build dhows without using nails. Such dhows were known as mtepe (pl. mitepe). This article traces why mtepe became extinct and discusses jahazi building traditions, beliefs, dances and sacrifices in Matondoni village. These include jahazi launch feast, sewing and trying the sail and the role of the women’s vugo dance. In addition, it investigates Swahili navigation and astronomy, from the Lamu archipelago to Arabia. The article establishes that jahazi became more popular than mtepe due to the need for a stronger vessel to promote the emerging maritime economy. The article finds that jahazi did not immediately replace mtepe, but the two coexisted until jahazi became the vessel of choice, which stopped the production of mtepe.
Bert Based Named Entity Recognition for the Albanian Language
Authors: Kryeziu Labehat , Shehu Visar
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we explore the application of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model for Named Entity Recognition (NER) in the Albanian language. Despite the success of BERT in various NLP tasks across numerous languages, Albanian remains under-represented. Our approach leverages a transfer learning strategy with multilingual BERT, fine-tuned on a newly created, comprehensive Albanian language corpus. The corpus includes texts from various domains, thereby facilitating the identification of a broad range of named entities. We report on the challenges faced during corpus creation, model fine-tuning, and testing phases, such as dealing with dialectal variations and lack of existing resources for the Albanian language. This research not only contributes to the advancement of NER systems for low-resource languages, but also provides a robust foundation for further advancements in Albanian language processing.

The Effect of Migration of Health Workers in Labor Markets a Literature Review
Authors: Krasniqi Marsida , Kalaja Rezarta , Trebicka Brunela , Myshketa Redi
Published: January 2024

This systematic review examines the effect of migration of health workers on the labor market. With an increasing global movement of healthcare professionals, it is essential to understand the implications of this phenomenon on both sending and receiving countries. Our review synthesizes existing research and analyzes factors such as recruitment patterns, skill gaps, policy implications, and the impact on healthcare systems. Through a comprehensive search of academic databases, we identified a range of studies that shed light on this complex issue. Findings suggest that health worker migration can have both positive and negative consequences. While it may alleviate shortages in receiving countries and boost remittances for sending countries, it can also exacerbate healthcare workforce imbalances and strain resource-poor regions. The systematic review underscores the need for evidence-based policies that balance the benefits and challenges of health worker migration. By understanding the dynamics at play, policymakers can make informed decisions to ensure the sustainability and equity of healthcare systems in an increasingly interconnected world.

Transnational Solidarity and Good Governance: Is the ‘Refugee’ Phenomenon an Extremist Threat for the Eu?
Authors: Likaj Matilda , Marku Alketa
Published: January 2024

After two decades of refugee waves from post-communist countries, Europe has been facing again this phenomenon in the three last years. During the Syria wars, residents from the Middle East escaped to Jordan, Libya and Turkey. By the extension of these waves refugees’ destination was European countries. By the side of the Middle East refugee wave, last two years European countries have been facing refugees from African countries. These waves are identified as the current European refugee crisis. In the European country's public opinion (even though this phenomenon was not new), sometimes it is evaluated as a threat that contains extremism. This phenomenon may not seem extraordinary in itself, but considering that it happened in European countries characterized by extreme xenophobic attitudes, where the societies have low levels of trust in general, exploited by the Government’s anti-immigration campaign. The different aspects of anxiety and fear connected to the refugee waves, perceived by the receiving society are worth analyzing in today’s Europe, especially in light of the recent terror attacks and other incidents in which immigrants play a significant role worldwide. Xenophobic attitudes, discriminations, social exclusions etc., bring out the clashes between newcomers and residents. Regarding the above explanation, this article will focus on the descriptive analysis of the refugee phenomenon in Europe and whether is it an extremist threat to European society or just the public opinion perceives it like that.

Competencia intercultural en traducción: revisión bibliométrica
Authors: Lévano Sofía , Benites Sandra , Tello Álvarez Cecilia
Published: January 2024

El factor cultural está presente en toda interacción humana, sin embargo, el desconocimiento de ciertos comportamientos, actitudes, expresiones e ideologías genera problemas de comunicación intercultural. Por lo tanto, la competencia intercultural, entendida como una apertura horizontal hacia el otro, es un tema recurrente en investigaciones en todos los campos del conocimiento, desde las ciencias duras hasta las ciencias humanas. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo observar la producción científica sobre la competencia intercultural en tres escenarios: 1) los campos temáticos en los que se organiza la producción científica en Scopus, 2) el área de ciencias sociales y 3) el campo de la traducción. En tal sentido, se realizó una revisión bibliométrica y se empleó el método Prisma para filtrar los trabajos de investigación y, de este modo, poder analizar con mayor detalle los estudios relacionados con la competencia intercultural en el campo de la traducción. Como resultado se encontró un incremento constante en la producción de artículos sobre la competencia intercultural en diversas disciplinas, no obstante, en el campo de la traducción, se evidenció que la productividad ha sido menor en Scopus.
El vínculo entre populismo y democracia en la lectura de Margaret Canovan

El trabajo reflexiona sobre la definición de democracia propuesta por Margaret Canovan en 1999: un régimen constituido por la tensión virtuosa entre dos caras o dimensiones contradictorias: una cara de política pragmática y otra de política populista basada en una promesa redentora. A partir de esta apreciación y de las características que Canovan identifica como estructurantes del populismo, se analiza la relación entre populismo y democracia, buscando identificar núcleos sensibles o que impliquen una ruptura sustancial del régimen democrático.
Un mundo huérfano de Giuseppe Caputo: una poética anticanónica que rompe el modelo de “monohumanismo” y del “sujeto-referencia” de la modernidad
Authors: Baudoin Magela
Published: January 2024

El presente artículo demuestra cómo la novela Un mundo huérfano (2016) de Giuseppe Caputo desafía el paradigma del “monohumanismo” moderno (Sylvia Winter), vinculado a la blancura, la masculinidad, la simetría, la belleza y el poder económico, a través de una poética anticanónica en la que representa cuerpos vulnerables y vulnerados que habitan la oscuridad y la pobreza y que enfrentan la tiranía de ese “sujeto-referencia” mediante estrategias de supervivencia anticapitalistas basadas en la solidaridad, los lazos afectivos, la imaginación y el disfrute, fuera de los tiempos y órdenes de los centros de poder occidentales. La novela plantea, además, cómo el lenguaje, tantas veces utilizado como arma de discriminación y de violencia, puede transformarse en un escudo de protección y fuente de identidad y de belleza. Apoyándose en las aportaciones teóricas de Silvia Wynter, el ensayo reflexiona sobre la capacidad del arte y del lenguaje para desafiar y transformar los paradigmas supremacistas arraigados en la cultura, que perpetúan la discriminación y la exclusión.
O legado de Mayombe em movimento pendular entre o ético e o estético
Authors: Castro Helder da Rocha , Paula Marcelo Ferraz de , Silva Rogério Max Canedo
Published: January 2024

O artigo em questão discute as marcas testemunhais presentes no romance Mayombe, do autor angolano Pepetela. A problematização da questão se dá em função de um movimento pendular entre o ético e estético, em que a experiência colonial e o olhar (de dentro) de quem experienciou se inserem em uma forma literária trabalhada com extrema engenhosidade. Busca-se, por meio de exemplos retirados da obra e material crítico-teórico consistentes, aproximá-la do gênero testimonio e constatar o quão potente é a mensagem de resistência e humanidade nela presentes. Como também constatar que a estetização de um evento histórico não significou a desvalorização de uma obra de arte literária (por seu forte teor documental) tampouco atenuou a importância do relato histórico.
Oralidade, escrita e leitura na educação básica:
Authors: Ferreira Luciana Genevan da Silva Dias , Pereira Elaine Cristina Andrade
Published: January 2024

Observam-se desafios múltiplos para se abordar literatura na educação básica atualmente, sobretudo literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa, conteúdo curricular previsto na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BRASIL, 2018) e assegurado também pela Lei 10.639/2003 (BRASIL, 2003). Entre as dificuldades mais recorrentes, podem-se destacar: a formação dos professores, a produção literária disponível e os tempos escolares destinados para o trabalho com a leitura literária. Assim, busca-se abordar essas questões sobre o ensino de literatura na educação básica, por meio de discussões teóricas, relacionadas ao trabalho com oralidade, escrita e leitura literárias nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental, com objetivo geral de promover a formação de professores para atuar com literatura nesse nível de ensino, sendo os objetivos específicos os seguintes: identificar especificidades do texto literário e de sua leitura e escuta; conhecer os principais fundamentos teóricos que sustentam o conceito de leitura literária. Enfatiza-se, neste artigo, a literatura cabo-verdiana, observando-se a materialidade de duas obras literárias específicas, quais sejam, o poema “Ilhas”, de Jorge Barbosa (1935), e o conto “...Ou quando Santo Antão é apenas silêncio”, de Dina Salústio (1994), que encenam a insularidade da República de Cabo Verde, cada qual conforme seu contexto de produção. Para fundamentar a abordagem, fontes teóricas abrangem pesquisas sobre literatura e ensino, com Aparecida Paiva, Graça Paulino e Marta Passos (2006); Antoine Compagnon (2009); Paulo Franchetti (2009); Iris Amâncio (2008) e Márcia Marques de Morais (2020); sobre literatura como direito humano, com Antonio Candido (2004),e sobre oralidade cabo-verdiana, conforme perspectiva de Dulce Almada Duarte (2003).Palavras-chave: literatura; educação básica; Cabo Verde; literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa; BNCC.
Imbricações entre literatura, história e feminismo:
Authors: Saes Stela
Published: January 2024

A partir de uma abordagem imbricada entre crítica literária, história e teorias feministas, é possível realizar uma leitura comprometida de obras literárias oriundas do continente africano, especialmente aquelas produzidas por mulheres na contemporaneidade. Ademais, a relação dialética proposta como metodologia permite analisar de que forma uma crítica literária comprometida com a totalidade pode contribuir com as formulações analíticas da literatura de autoria feminina no continente africano. Ainda, é necessário perceber quais são as reais condições de produção literária no tocante às escritoras, enquanto estão, justamente, nas trincheiras do sistema capitalista vigente. Então, é pelo viés imbricado entre literatura, história e feminismos, que o exercício de análise literária vai incidir sobre o modo como essas mulheres, no exercício da ficção e na construção de personagens, em suas trajetórias, no interior das narrativas, se expressam, se opõem e denunciam as condições materiais vividas. Dessa forma, apresenta-se uma proposta de leitura imbricada dos romances O alegre canto da perdiz, de Paulina Chiziane, Everything good will come, de Sefi Atta, e Do not go gentle, de Futhi Ntshingila, partindo sempre do texto literário para que o social, o histórico e as ideologias feministas se revelem na tessitura das próprias obras.Palavras-chave: literaturas africanas; literatura comparada; feminismo; história; autoria feminina.

Authors: Brasil Francisca Patrícia Pompeu
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar questionamentos e reflexões acerca da imagem da boa esposa no romance Niketche: uma história de poligamia, de Paulina Chiziane. Entre os questionamentos analisados, daremos destaque à forma como a personagem protagonista olha para o seu próprio corpo e à forma como esse olhar é “moldado” por práticas sociais e culturais do local onde vive. Através de um estudo comparativo com o conto “Branca de Neve”, de Wilhelm e Jakob Grimm, buscaremos interpretar a situação da mulher negra moçambicana, na condição de esposa, dentro de um relacionamento poligâmico. Foram utilizadas, como referencial teórico, as seguintes obras: A invenção das mulheres, de Oyèrónkẹ Oyěwùmí (2021); A dominação masculina, de Pierre Bourdieu (2015); O segundo sexo, de Simone de Beauvoir (2016), e A psicanálise dos contos de fadas, de Bruno Bettelheim (2001).Palavras-chave: corpo feminino; poligamia; subalternização.

This context involves investigating how features of these environments affect depth perception, which is crucial for tasks like object manipulation and navigation that require interpreting spatial information. This article presents a comprehensive (general, extensible and flexible) framework to assess depth perception in different virtual environments to support the development of more effective and immersive virtual experiences. This approach can assist developers in decision-making regarding different approaches for assessing depth perception in virtual environments, considering stereoscopic and monoscopic techniques for visualization. The framework considers parameters such as the distance between the user and virtual objects and the sizes of virtual objects. Metrics such as hit rate, response time, and presence questionnaire responses were utilized to assess depth perception. The previous experiments are presented (anaglyph and shutter glasses), as well as the new experiments, considering cave environments with and without anaglyph glasses.

Published: January 2024

The phenomenon of the data deluge is a reality and the volume of data produced by people and companies is much greater than what can be handled and analyzed. Data play a crucial role in guiding the efficient utilization of technological resources for companies, aiding them in product and service management. Moreover, individuals who have become adept data producers and consumers are increasingly orienting their lives toward data. To address this evolving trend, there is a growing imperative to educate Computing professionals. These professionals are required to design technology solutions that facilitate the synergy between individuals and data, a phenomenon known as Human-Data Interaction (HDI). This paper introduces a suggested minimum syllabus for HDI courses, with the aim of addressing the key themes associated with the interaction between individuals and data. The complexity and depth of HDI topics justify a dedicated course, preventing the risk of essential content being fragmented or inadequately covered if dispersed across different courses.

O cuidado domiciliar tornou-se uma alternativa para doenças de tratamento prolongado, como com crianças em uso de cateteres venosos centrais (CVCs), que possuem complexidade no manejo. Isso exige qualificação profissional adequada e atualizada através da Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS). Esse estudo objetiva avaliar a satisfação dos participantes de um recurso pedagógico em ambiente virtual, modalidade de curso de formação profissional, que aborda cuidados de cateteres venosos centrais no domicílio de crianças. É um estudo transversal, exploratório descritivo, tendo a sua abordagem caracterizada como quantitativa. A amostra compreendeu 135 participantes, entre enfermeiros e estudantes de Enfermagem inscritos nas duas edições do curso. Os dados foram coletados pelo Google Forms® e relatórios do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA). Utilizou a estatística descritiva (média, desvio padrão, mediana, intervalo interquartis, frequência relativa e absoluta) e analítica (Teste t de Student), com nível de significância de 95%. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Predominou, no estudo, enfermeiras (60%), do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (61,5%), do sexo feminino (86,7%) com idade média de 31,3±8,6 anos, com formação Latu Sensu (49,6%) e atuando profissionalmente no nível de atenção terciária (69,7%). Quanto aos três aspectos avaliados no curso (apresentação, conteúdo e aplicabilidade para a prática assistencial), as médias foram (em uma escala de 0 a 100 pontos), respectivamente: 95,3±7,10; 97,2±5,41 e 95,7±9,91. Os profissionais que trabalham na Atenção Primária à Saúde avaliaram o curso como menos aplicável à sua prática profissional em relação aos outros (89,0 versus 96,2; p=0,033). Com base nos resultados, o curso apresentou ótima avaliação de conteúdo, apresentação e aplicabilidade na prática pelos participantes. Dessa forma, acredita-se que possibilitou o aprimoramento da formação dos enfermeiros e estudantes para qualificar o cuidado de enfermagem para crianças em uso de CVCs no domicílio.

Criticism of the inadequacies of jurists' handling of witness statements and of their insufficient education in this area has been voiced many times for decades. A systematic examination in the sense of determining the necessary qualifications in legal and legal-psychological terms and a subsequent empirical examination of the actual situation with regard to the level of knowledge of judges and the content of their training has not yet been carried out. The author addresses this gap in jurisprudential and empirical research on a central aspect of criminal procedure.
Valgus Deformity Correction in Total Knee Replacement: An Overview
Authors: Bonanno Gianluca
Published: January 2024

The correction of deformities in valgus knee is a challenge to perform a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for a surgeon. Approximately 10% of patients who sustain a TKA have a valgus deformity. The bone and soft tissue deformities complicate the restoration of proper alignment, positioning of components and achievement of joint stability. In the valgus knee are often present lateral femoral and tibial deficiencies, contracted lateral and elongated medial soft tissues and multiplanar deformities. Different classifications have been reported to guide surgical management and various surgical strategies have been described with variable clinical results. In relation to the severity of the deformity, different implant designs may be used. The important factors to obtain stability and longevity of TKA for good functional outcome are restoration of neutral mechanical axis and correct ligament balance.

Published: January 2024

Emerging viral infections are considered a global threat, and they have gained more importance after the coronavirus outbreak in 2019, which affected the whole world. The innate immune system recognizes invading pathogens via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) expressed on different immune cells extracellularly and intracellularly. Out of several PRRs, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are one of the critical PRRs recognizing diverse pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) varying from viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Viral pathogens possess specific molecular signatures such as dsRNA and high CpG content that differentiate them from mammalian cells. TLRs play their role in innate immunity against pathogenic viruses by producing antiviral cytokines and chemokines. Most emerging viral pathogens are RNA viruses including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). These viruses are recognized by TLR 2, TLR 3, TLR 4, TLR7, and TLR8 with the coordination of other PRR members resulting in the activation of costimulatory molecules that initiate immune response. This chapter provides insights into the TLRs’ role in developing and regulating the immune response against emerging viral pathogens. It exploits their roles in innate immunity to develop treatment strategies against deadly emerging viral pathogens.

Authors: Alp Ovali Sancar
Published: January 2024

Meniscal roots provide substantial stability to the knee against anteroposterior and rotational forces. Root injuries show similar biomechanic properties to total meniscectomy and are one of the preventable causes of early osteoarthritis. Various surgical methods were already described, and new techniques are being developed. Repair of meniscal root tears is almost always recommended, especially in acute traumatic cases. However, the surgical indications are controversial in cases where repair is not possible, in degenerative conditions, and in elderly patients. Along with this perspective, radiologic and clinical evaluation and current surgical techniques will be summarized, and treatment indications and outcomes will be discussed according to up-to-date data.

The Use of the 2D and 3D Complex Wavelet and Ridgelet Transforms in Geophysical Prospecting: Case of Potential Fields Data
Authors: Boukerbout Hassina
Published: January 2024

The complex wavelet and ridgelet transforms are used in the potential field data interpretation for identifying the buried structures responsible for potential field anomalies. Its basis is the use of particular analyzing wavelets belonging to the Poisson semigroup that possess amazing properties regarding potential fields. In fact, the analyzed anomaly displays a conical signature in the wavelet domain and whose apex is pointing out at the causative homogeneous structure. Fundamentally, the interpretation is performed in the upward-continued domain where, the dilation of the wavelet transform is the upward-continuation altitude. This confers on the wavelet transform a considerable advantage: its robustness with respect to noise. The method is also developed to identify the depth, horizontal positions, size, strike direction, dips and shape of elongated 3D structures such as finite-dimensional dykes and faults. For this type of anomaly, the 2D wavelet transform corresponds to the ridgelet transform performed in the Radon domain, where elongated anomalies are recognized by high amplitude signatures. A reminder of the developed theory and applications in the 2D and 3D cases on real case studies are shown.
