Published: November 2020

Background: We aimed to conduct a retrospective analysis of the epidemiological changes and prevention effects for malaria in Weifang, Shandong Peninsula, China from 1957 to 2017.
Methods: The malaria data from a web-based reporting system were analyzed to explore malaria epidemiological characteristics and prevention effects in Weifang.
Results: Overall, 1, 704, 890 malaria cases were reported in Weifang from 1957 to 2017, of which two major malaria epidemics occurred in 1961 (827.28/10, 000) and 1971 (366.14/10, 000). Prior to 1997, all malaria patients (1, 704, 829) were infected with Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax). After 2007, the cases of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) showed an upward trend (76.8%). The reported cases after the 21st century were mainly imported cases, and the last indigenous case was a patient that infected with P. vivax in 2006. Overall, 36 imported cases were reported from 2010 to 2017, of which 88.9% were acquired in Africa. Except for one 32-year-old woman, the rest were male (97.2%), in which laborers and farmers represented the vast majority (66.6%). From 1987 to 2017, there were 1, 224, 474 cases of fever with blood tests, and the average blood test rate was 4.9%. From 1957 to 2017, a total of 1, 704, 890 malaria patients were treated, 96 cases were treated during resting phase from 1987 to 2017.
Conclusion: Weifang should continue to strengthen the management of the migrant population, making blood tests for fever patients and patient treatment as important means of malaria control and monitoring.

Authors: CHO Ji-Hoon , LEE Ki-Hyuk , LIM Seung-Taek
Published: November 2020

Background: The purpose of this study was to find the basic data of medical and exercise therapy by indexing lumbar extension muscle strength of low back pain (LBP) patients.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 3078 chronic LBP participants from The J hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea, from 2003 to 2010 were enrolled. Maximum muscle strength was measured at maximum flexion angle and maximum extension angle according to range of motion (ROM) results. For each isometric test, participants were seated and secured in the MEDX (medx lumbar extension machine, Ocala, FL, USA) machine.
Results: The relative ROM (P=0.012) differed significantly among the aged groups in all participants. In addition, mean of strength (P<0.001), maximal of strength (P<0.001), mean of strength %BW (P<0.001) and maximal of strength %BW (P<0.001) are significant differences in all participants. The results of multiple regression analysis was the ‘model A’, maximal of strength for 32.1% of the variance in weigh, body mass index and range of motion. In addition, ‘model B’ was 30.4%, ‘model C’ was 28.8%, ‘model D’ was 28.5%, ‘model E’ was 21.7%, and ‘model F’ was 23.5% of the variance in weigh, body mass index and range of motion.
Conclusion: We found the three predictor (weight, BMI, and ROM) variables accounted for 32.1% of the variance in maximal of strength %BW, the highest in < 29 yr groups. Our data indicate the basic data of medical and exercise therapy by indexing lumbar extension muscle strength of LBP patients.

The Review of Past Pandemics to Predict What to Expect after Covid-19
Authors: Oppong Peprah Emmanuel
Published: November 2020

Several pandemics such as the Spanish flu, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome have come and gone with similar consequences felt after they were contained. It suggests that a critical study of events after past pandemics can help one make an informed guess about what to expect after the current pandemic. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the post-events of past pandemics to predict events after Covid-19. Published articles were collected and reviewed from scholarly literature web search engines and citation databases such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus. Information gathering for this study was largely done in the second quarter of 2020 on mainly Google Scholar with the final inclusion criteria word search being pandemic, epidemic, plague, disease, crises, infection, viral, and outbreak whiles the final exclusion criteria word search being science, scientific, environment, biology, chemistry, law, and political. Peer-reviewed articles were sorted and reviewed to contribute to understanding and developing perspective in assessing past pandemics and Covid-19. Other authentic non-peer-reviewed online sources were also searched, and their required information was considered. Literature was reviewed on historical pandemics, which killed many people up to percentages of the whole population. Although all of them were deadly, the three recent outbreaks were checked in-depth, namely the 1918 Spanish Flu, Ebola, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The current pandemic, as declared by the World Health Organization, is Covid-19. This study makes several predictions under the social and psychological, economic, global, and benefits of Covid-19. They are fear and paranoia among people, the psychological need of survivors, stigmatization, growth in religious fanaticism, stock market returns, increment in unemployment, higher cost of doing business, impact to the global financial system, temporary dysfunctional global supply chains, the cost to the world economy, increased interest in infectious disease prevention, stronger bonding between humans and nations, and advancement in clinical research.
The Prohıbıtıve Injunctıon In Kabıye
Authors: PALI Tchaa
Published: November 2020

Research on the Kabiyè language has already explored,to some extent, the injunction in the chapters that deal with the verb. Nevertheless, it remains relative to postulate that the ambiguity of the intercurrent amalgam between the expression of the negation and that of prohibition is clearly removed since the terminology used in French language ("négation à l'impératif ", "formesnégatives de l'impératif et du jussif", Etc.) still bears clues to the survival of this vagueness. However, in Kabiyè, theenunciative operation of injunction is carried by the imperative and jussive modes with a conative scope which results from the injunctive behavior of the speaker. Prohibition is not,in that language, an avatar of the expression of an inadequacy, but a result of the injunction when it becomes deterrent or suspensive. It is introduced by the morpheme taa- /BB/ and can be nuanced or even reinforced with absolutive adverbs depending on the intention to act on the co-announcer that the speaker has assigned to himself.
Clinical pharmacy services in Brazil, particularly cardiometabolic diseases: a systematic scoping review and meta-analyses
Authors: Nassur Priscila L. , Forgerini Marcela , Mastroianni Patricia C. , Lucchetta Rosa C.
Published: November 2020

Objective: To map the clinical pharmacy services conducted in Brazil, their characteristics, outcomes, and process measures in general population, as well as the assessment of the clinical impact on people with cardiometabolic diseases (cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases).

Methods: A systematic scoping review and meta-analysis were conducted. The electronic searches were re-run in March 2020. To the clinical impact assessment, meta-analyses of cardiometabolic outcomes (i.e., change of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglycerides, total cholesterol, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting glycemia, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol) were led. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration tools.

Results: 71 studies were identified (7,402 patients), being the majority quasi-experimental studies (n=41) and published by research groups of Southeast Brazil (n=33). Medication therapy management (n=62) was the most frequent clinical pharmacy service, performed on outpatient setting (n=45), with adults or elderly people (n=58) with hypertension (n=18) or diabetes (n=10). Process measures (n=58) (e.g. resolution of drug related-problem) were widely used as indicator, followed by clinical (n=44) (e.g. change in SBP), humanistic (n=12) (e.g. change in quality-of-life score assessed by Short-Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire), and economic outcomes (n=3) (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for reduction in HbA1c). Regarding the assessment of clinical impact of the services, 20 studies were included in meta-analyses, showing improvement in most cardiometabolic outcomes when considered individual studies. However, the evidence presents high risk of bias, high heterogeneity (median 67-90%) and imprecision, contributing to wide prediction intervals and low reliability.

Conclusions: A predominance of studies on cardiometabolic diseases, process measures, and clinical outcomes were identified. Considering the assessment of the clinical impact of clinical pharmacy services in cardiometabolic diseases, an improvement in most cardiometabolic outcomes was showed, however, with low confidence and wide prediction interval. Therefore, development of larger studies with low risk of bias and major homogeneity is necessary for a better comprehension of clinical pharmacy service characteristics, benefits, and the population groups most benefited.

Authors: Pirakitikulr Nathan , Martin John J. , Wester Sara T.
Published: November 2020

Laser (light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation) skin resurfacing is currently one of the most widely adopted technologies in facial rejuvenation. While most often used for aesthetic purposes, lasers also have applications in the management of scars. Since the introduction of the CO2 laser for skin rejuvenation in the 1990s, the last three decades have seen significant growth in the number of laser devices available to the physician. More recently, promising alternatives to light-based resurfacing technologies have emerged that include radiofrequency and intense focused ultrasound. To help the physician navigate the most current laser technologies as they apply to periocular scars, this review discusses the available treatment modalities, pre-treatment assessment of periorbital scars, treatment selection, and reported outcomes and complications. The recommendations described herein are based on published literature and the authors’ experience in an academic oculoplastics practice.

Authors: Cardoso Teresa , Pestana Filomena
Published: November 2020

Com o advento da world wide web, e em particular com a segunda geração, mais conhecida como web 2.0, emergiram ferramentas e tecnologias que possibilitaram o trabalho colaborativo e a concretização da inteligência coletiva. Um desses recursos são os wikis, de que o exemplo paradigmático, porventura porque mais popular e global, é a Wikipédia. De facto, a enciclopédia da atualidade, como alguns autores designam, é sustentada pelo trabalho de um vasto conjunto de voluntários que, de modo colaborativo, preconizam a referida inteligência coletiva. Neste contexto, e por se tratar de uma comunidade de prática, como outros autores reconhecem, importantes desafios se colocam, nomeadamente no campo da formação, da ética, da humanidade e da responsabilidade social. Considerando o seu potencial, simultaneamente como prática e recurso educacional aberto, temos vindo a defender a sua utilização na prática docente, em diferentes dimensões e espaços educativos (formais e não-formais), níveis e modalidades de escolarização. Assim, este texto tem por objetivos apresentar exemplos dessa utilização na formação de docentes, da educação básica à educação superior, e contribuir para o debate em torno das competências digitais e múltiplas literacias, incluindo a literacia da informação, numa reflexão ancorada na educação aberta e nos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável das Nações Unidas. Acreditamos, pois, poder ainda contribuir para o desenvolvimento de bens públicos comuns, no pressuposto contemporâneo de mudança e inovação educativa no âmbito da Rede Académica Internacional WEIWER®.

O impacto causado pela pandemia da COVID-19 levou ao encerramento de escolas por todo o mundo. Ministérios, governos estaduais, organismos públicos e privados viram-se repentinamente obrigados a converter todo o processo educativo para que milhões de estudantes continuassem os seus processos formativos a partir de suas casas. Do presencial transitou-se para o online, na forma de um ensino remoto de emergência, desafiando professores a repensarem metodologias e práticas pedagógicas, procurando desenvolver situações de aprendizagem em ambientes digitais. Este artigo, baseado numa análise exploratória, procura compreender como foi realizada essa transição do regime presencial para o regime digital na educação básica portuguesa e brasileira, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à preparação dos professores e das suas escolas. As respostas obtidas através da aplicação de um inquérito por questionário a 300 professores permitem um olhar sobre semelhanças e diferenças na abordagem à promoção de uma educação de qualidade em tempos de pandemia.
Iatrogenic Compartment Syndrome After Delayed Primary Closure of the Tibial Fracture–Related Leg Fasciotomy Wound
Authors: Karamian Brian A. , Bishop Julius A.
Published: November 2020

Case:

Compartment syndrome can occur after tibial fracture and requires prompt diagnosis and immediate fasciotomy. Because of post-traumatic swelling, delayed primary wound closure can be difficult requiring significant tension on the skin. Closing the skin in this setting theoretically puts the patient at risk of elevated compartment pressures, although compartment syndrome has never been reported in these circumstances. We describe a case of compartment syndrome that developed after delayed primary skin closure of a single incision 4-compartment fasciotomy wound after tibial fracture.

Conclusion:

This is the first published description of compartment syndrome after delayed primary closure of a leg fasciotomy wound.

The biosignature of sparite permits the distinction between gravitational cement and endostromatolites
Authors:   Carnets de Géologie, Granier Bruno
Published: November 2020

Following a brief summary of some fundamentals in carbonate sedimentology (sedimentary petrography) that highlights the significance of organic matter, some examples of biocrystals in carbonate grains/particles, such as bioclasts or ooids, are provided as an introductory chapter to a discussion on gravitational cements versus endostromatolites. The gravitational cements, either marine (fibrous) or continental (dog-tooth), are made of hyaline (i.e., translucent) sparitic crystals whereas endostromatolites are made of colored sparitic crystals and/or micrite. Gravitational cements forms in the vadose zone whereas endostromatolites grow in small rock cavities in the marine phreatic zone. As such the latter can grow centripetally in all directions (not only downward).

TEACHING MADURA LOCAL CONTENT LITERACY ON PRESERVICE SCIENCE TEACHER USING LWIS MODEL
Authors: Yasir Mochammad , Wulandari Ana Yuniasti Retno
Published: November 2020

Several previous studies have shown that students have difficulty integrating ethnoscience into science learning. Students are more likely to be introduced to the basic concepts of ethnoscience without involving how to integrate ethnoscience into science learning. The impact is that students’ scientific literacy is low. This is what underlies researchers to apply the Local Wisdom Integrated Science (LWIS) learning model by using local Madurese content to train students’ scientific literacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in student scientific literacy after implementing the LWIS learning model in ethnoscience learning with local Madurese content. The method used was pre-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. When the study was carried out in the even semester of the 2019/2020 academic year by taking 22 students via purposive sampling technique as a sample of all students in class 6A of science education, Trunojoyo University, Madura. Analysis of data using descriptive statistics and paired sample t test. The results showed that there were different in the scientific literacy of the students using the LWIS learning model before and after studying ethnoscience with local Madurese material. The entire LWIS syntax helps train students' scientific literacy by including self-awareness of the importance of local Madurese content as a learning context. Ethnoscience can be integrated into science learning through the STEAM approach. The contribution of STEAM to the LWIS learning model and self-awareness is very significant in developing ethnoscience learning for local Madurese content from elementary, middle, and tertiary level.

Published: November 2020

The Light brick is an engineered product developed from the usual brick with the addition of mixed materials. Brick is one type of composite material. Many people choose to use natural fiber-reinforced composites to replace synthetic ones and composite materials engineering development. So in the technology of brick-making, natural fibers are currently used as a choice as additional material mixed to produce light bricks. Additional materials often used in light bricks include fly ash, sawdust, coconut husks, rice husks, etc. This study used corn husk waste as additional material in the light bricks making. The addition of corn husk powder can affect the mechanical properties of brick. It is shown by the more significant the percentage of corn husk powder added, the smaller the density and compressive test value of the brick produced. Meanwhile, the greater the porosity value is. The decrease in density level and compressive test value will undoubtedly affect the brick's mechanical and physical properties. The reduction in density level and mechanical properties of the brickwork can be minimized by applying an outer layer in the form of cement mortar of the products.

Bacteria associated with coral hosts are diverse and abundant, with recent studies suggesting involvement of these symbionts in host resilience to anthropogenic stress. Despite the putative importance of bacteria, the work dedicated to culturing coral-associated bacteria has received little attention. Combining published and unpublished data, here we report a comprehensive overview of the diversity and function of culturable, coral-associated bacteria. A total of 3055 isolates from 52 studies were considered by our meta-survey. Of these, 1045 had full length 16S rRNA gene sequences, spanning 138 formally described and 12 putatively novel bacterial genera across the Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria phyla. We performed comparative genomic analysis using the available genomes of 74 strains and identified potential signatures of beneficial bacterial-coral symbioses among them. Our analysis revealed >400 biosynthetic gene clusters that underlie the biosynthesis of antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and other secondary metabolites. Moreover, we uncovered genomic features - not previously described for coral-bacterial symbioses - involved in host colonization and host-symbiont recognition, antiviral defence mechanisms, and/or integrated metabolic interactions, which we suggest as novel targets for the screening of coral probiotics. Our results highlight the importance of bacterial cultures to elucidate coral holobiont functioning, and guide the selection of probiotic candidates to promote coral resilience and improve reef restoration efforts.

People with HIV have higher rates of certain comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease and some malignancies, than people without HIV. As somatic mutations associated with age related clonal haematopoiesis (CH) are linked to similar comorbidities in the general population, we hypothesized that CH may be more prevalent in people with HIV. To address this issue, we established a prospective cohort study recruiting 220 HIV-positive and 226 HIV negative participants aged 55 years or older in Australia. Demographic characteristics, clinical data and peripheral blood were collected to assess for the presence of CH mutations and identify potential risk factors for and clinical sequelae of CH. Investigators testing for CH were blinded to participants’ HIV status. In total, 132 CH mutations were identified in 99 (22.2%) of 446 participants. CH was more prevalent in HIV-positive participants than HIV-negative
participants (27.7% vs. 16.8%, p =0.006), overall and across all age groups. HIV infection was associated with an increased odds of having CH (adjusted odds ratio 2.10, 95% confidence interval 1.30-3.38, p=0.002). The most common genes mutated were DNMT3A (48.5%), TET2(20.5%) and ASXL1 (11.4%). CH and HIV infection were independently associated with increases in blood parameters and biomarkers associated with inflammation. These data suggest a selective advantage for the emergence of CH in the context of chronic infection and inflammation related to HIV infection.

The clinical information and type of NTM from the previous studies and our cases were summarized.Results: We reported three cases of NTM endophthalmitis caused by M. haemophilum, M. fortuitum and M. abscessus and a summarized review of 112 additional cases previously published. Of 115 patients, there were 101 exogenous endophthalmitis (87.8%) and 14 endogenous endophthalmitis (12.2%). The patients’ age ranged from 13 to 89 years with mean of 60.5±17.7 years with no gender predominance. Exogenous endophthalmitis occurred in both healthy and immunocompromised hosts, mainly caused by cataract surgery (67.3%). In contrast, almost all endogenous endophthalmitis patients were immunocompromised. Among all patients, previous history of tuberculosis infection was identified in 4 cases (3.5%). Rapid growing NTMs were responsible for exogenous endophthalmitis, while endogenous endophthalmitis were commonly caused by slow growers. Treatment regimens consisted of macrolides, fluoroquinolones or aminoglycosides, which were continued for up to 12 months. Initial and final vision were generally worse than 6/60.Conclusions: NTM endophthalmitis is a serious intraocular infection that leads to irreversible loss of vision. The presentation can mimic a chronic recurrent or persistent intraocular inflammation. History of multiple intraocular surgeries or immune-deficiency in patient with chronic panuveitis should raise the practioner’s suspicion of NTM endophthalmitis. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment are important to optimize visual outcome.

Background：An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. This study aims to report the clinical characteristics of children COVID-19 in Xiangyang, a city outside of Wuhan within Hubei Province.Methods：We retrospectively investigated the clinical manifestations, Chest CT imaging, and laboratory characteristics of confirmed cases of children with COVID-19 with WHO interim guidance in Xiangyang Central Hospital from Feb 1 to Mar 10, 2020. 10 children cases were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR and were analyzed for epidemiological, demographic, clinical, radiological features and laboratory data. Outcomes were followed up until Mar 10, 2020.Results：6 cases (60%) had never been to Wuhan but closely contacted with family members with confirmed COVID-19, and 4 cases (40%) had made short term trips to Wuhan alone without familial clustering. The most common symptoms were cough (50%) followed by fever (40%), 4 cases (40%) showed asymptomatic characteristics including 2 cases (20%) with abnormal chest computed tomograms (CT) image. 9 cases (90%) were mild type, only 1 case (10%) was moderate type, none of them progressed in severe or critical disease. 4 (40%) cases showed leucopenia but none lymphopenia. Abnormalities on chest CT were detected among 8 cases (80%), 2 of 4 cases without obvious symptoms had abnormal chest CT.Conclusions: Children's infection is mainly caused by family clusters. No transmission to other individuals from children was found in our observation. The clinical manifestations in children with COVID-19 are non-specific with milder symptoms and good outcomes.

Published: November 2020

This paper proposes a damage detection method based on an improved DAS imaging algorithm by introducing time difference due to anisotropy of composite material. First, the finite element characteristic frequency method is used to obtain the dispersion curve of the composite plate, and the validity of the dispersion curve is verified. Next, the average phase velocity of the Lamb wave at mixed modes in the composite plate is obtained by two-dimensional Fourier transform (2-D FFT). The mixed modal group velocity is calculated according to the corresponding phase velocity, the mean change rate of the phase velocity and the dispersion curve obtained by simulation. The time difference due to anisotropy of composite material is investigated, and the damage location is estimated by the delay-and-sum (DAS) imaging algorithm. Experiments on carbon fiber multilayer composite plates verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In order to ensure the safety of bridge structure operation, the working mechanism and damage mechanism of spherical steel bearings commonly used in urban rail transit bridges and large highway bridges are studied. This study combines correlation and sensitivity analysis methods, and proposes that the correlation between output parameters and input parameters and the order of sensitivity are used as the basis for selecting spherical steel bearings. The sudden change of the sensitivity of each operating point is used as the basis for index division, and the discriminating system of spherical steel bearings is established accordingly. Combined with SVM, it is trained into a ball-type steel bearing safety level discrimination model. Through the test data test, the results show that the test of the discriminant model is effective.
Effects of fatigue on biomechanics of forehand smash in badminton
Authors: Zhang Shimin
Published: November 2020

Sports fatigue will cause deformation of actions. In this study, badminton was analyzed, and the influence which was brought by fatigue was studied from the perspective of biomechanics. The forehand smash of professional badminton athletes under normal and fatigue states was tested. The biomechanical indexes of athletes were obtained by infrared remote shooting test system and plantar pressure test system for comparison. The results showed that the forehand smash effect of athletes was significantly worse under fatigue state, the maximum gravity center height decreased to 1.22 ± 0.14 m, and the maximum gravity center speed decreased to 2.33 ± 0.12 m/s, which showed significant decreases compared to the normal state (P< 0.05). Moreover the maximum velocity of the right upper arm, right forearm, elbow joint, wrist joint and knee joint decreased significantly (P< 0.5), the maximum angle of the right hip joint, knee joint and left ankle joint also decreased significantly. The pressure of the inner side of the forefoot and the pressure in the middle of the forefoot increased (P< 0.05). The biomechanical analysis of forehand smash under fatigue condition reveals the relationship between fatigue and movement, which provides some scientific bases for the reasonable control of sports load.

Besides providing reliable water resources for agricultural production, rural development efforts in Myanmar should target rural water security in terms of safe water supply and sanitation, and by mitigating water-related hazards. However, very few studies are available over the status of water-related development in rural areas of the country, and consequently on suitable practical solutions. The present paper describes a participatory workshop undertaken involving 45 rural development officers of the Department of Rural Development (DRD) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MOALI), aimed at identifying suitable sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices to be developed in rural areas of the country. Adoption of water safety plans (WSP), water harvesting, and soil and water bioengineering were strongly supported, while the need for improving water sanitation, especially in the poorest areas, was made evident. Insights of the participatory process confirmed that the poorest regions of Myanmar have also the worst water management structures. The results of the present work can represent baseline information and a needs assessment for future development projects in the country. However, there is a strong need for more studies and reports targeting marginalized rural contexts of Myanmar, to support equitable development.
Water saving potential and economic viability assessment of rainwater harvesting system for four different climatic regions in China
Authors: Shiguang Chen , Yu Zhang
Published: November 2020

Rainwater is one of the most promising alternative water sources. However, the financial outcomes of the rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems are not always assured as economic performance of RWH systems vary greatly under different climatic conditions.This paper investigates reliability, water saving and benefit-cost ratio of an RWH system with different storage tanks and under three distinct climatic conditions (i.e., wet, average and dry year) at four cities in China. It was found that for a standard building (1,600 m2 roof having 560 people), the rainwater supply reliability varies significantly (3.85–20.55%) across four cities. It was found that Guangzhou (South China) always achieves the highest reliability, greatest annual water saving and highest benefit-cost ratio under three distinct climate conditions. By contrast, Beijing (North China) is mostly ranked as having the lowest one. These findings are well in line with the historical annual precipitation in these regions. Also, it was found that across these four regions, it was not possible for a RWH system to achieve a benefit-cost ratio higher than 1.0. These findings indicate that the RWH systems in most regions of China are currently economically unfeasible without government subsidies.
Olhares para a diversidade, inclusão escolar e exclusão social: contribuições da educação social
Authors: Santos Fabiano Antonio dos , Martins Bárbara Amaral , Kassar Mônica de Carvalho Magalhães
Published: November 2020

Os anos da década de 1990 marcam importantes mudanças nos discursos envolvendo os direitos humanos, as relações entre as políticas nacionais e os organismos internacionais. São resultado de disputas por projetos sociais antagônicos que visam apresentar alternativas de combate à exclusão e promotoras de inclusão social, sobretudo, por meio da educação. Embora o tema dos direitos humanos tenha sido construído no pós-guerra e os primeiros acordos assinados durante a Guerra Fria, os anos de 1990 favoreceram outra perspectiva a essa temática (KOERNER, 2002) e, também, novas formas de entendimento entre os poderes locais (nacionais) e o internacional (DALE, 2004).
Políticas Sociais e o Direito à Educação

Published: November 2020

Neste artigo, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, analisa-se o Direito à Educação, no Brasil, tomando como referência as Políticas Sociais e o Estado Democrático de Direito, típica configuração da democracia liberal que se instala na América Latina a partir da década de 1990. O reconhecimento e a positivação de Direitos Sociais na Constituição Federal de 1988 resultou de um longo processo de reivindicações sociais. Contudo, a partir do contexto socioeconômico e político-ideológico da década de 1990, a Política Social no Brasil sofreu os impactos da implementação das políticas neoliberais de ajustes econômicos e sociais. Desse modo, compreende-se que o reconhecimento e a proclamação da Educação como Direito público subjetivo no ordenamento normativo brasileiro significa o respaldo legal para a efetivação do acesso à escola, mas, por outro lado, a não efetivação desse direito dissimula a dimensão político-ideológica que preconiza a Educação na perspectiva mercadológica.
A pedagogia histórico-crítica em defesa de uma educação revolucionária
Authors: Marques Hellen Jaqueline , Duarte Newton
Published: November 2020

A importância da educação está na sua relação com as necessidades humanas e os direitos sociais. Sendo assim, emergem há décadas propostas educativas com diferentes perspectivas de intervenção que buscam atender objetivos e concepções de mundo igualmente distintas. Diante deste cenário, fundamentados no materialismo histórico dialético, apresentaremos uma análise da contribuição da educação escolar para a formação da consciência de classe e emancipação humana. Neste sentido, temos como objetivos debater a especificidade da educação escolar e suas relações com a luta política na sociedade capitalista e apresentar a pedagogia histórico-crítica como alternativa revolucionária. Para além de compreendermos as contribuições dos múltiplos espaços onde ocorrem o ensino e a aprendizagem, elencamos a educação escolar como lócus privilegiado para o acesso e apropriação de conteúdos essenciais e inerentes aos direitos humanos. A pesquisa está pautada na possibilidade de uma educação contra-hegemônica que contribua para a superação das relações sociais de dominação.
