Communicating to prospective students through appropriate sources of information
Authors: Wiese Melanie , Jordaan Yolanda , Van Heerden Cornelius
Published: October 2022

A proper assessment of the usefulness of the sources of information considered by prospectivestudents could enable higher education institutions (HEIs) to allocate funds, time and resourcesmore efficiently and effectively. The main objective of this study was to determine students’perceptions on the usefulness of sources of information that they used to select a public HEIin South Africa, and further to establish whether differences occur between the perceptions ofstudents from various institutions. A quantitative study with a self-administrated questionnaire was used to obtain information bymeans of a non-probability convenience sample of 1 241 students from six public HEIs in SouthAfrica. The findings indicated that prospective students find sources of information coming directlyfrom a public HEIs - such as campus visits and open days, university publications and websites –to be of most use, while information from mass media, such as radio, television, magazines andnewspaper advertisements are less important. The responses of students from the different institutions varied significantly regarding the usefulness of sources of information in selecting a public HEI. Although university publications,campus visits and open days, and also websites ranked high, the importance ranking betweenrespondents from different institutions varied. The findings can be used to develop student-focused marketing communication that could aid prospective students in making more informed decisions about the public higher educationinstitution they wish to attend.
Theoretical Guidelines for Social Media Marketing Communication
Authors: Du Plessis Charmaine
Published: October 2022

Social media (user-generated content) create many innovative opportunities for those organisationsthat realise that electronic word of mouth (eWOM) can be powerful in an online environment. eWOMis now considered to provide an organisation’s online marketing communication with a competitiveedge since consumers know and trust their friends’ recommendations regarding products andservices. Social media provide organisations with an opportunity to create consumer experiencesfor consumers by making available social media tools. Organisations are interested in brandonline communities because of their ability also to build brand equity and product differentiationin the long term. Although organisations realise the huge potential of social media for eWOM andestablishing an organisation’s brand, there are no clear theoretical guidelines for social mediamarketing communication. This article proposes theoretical guidelines in terms of which socialmedia marketing communication can be considered. These guidelines are evaluated by means ofa case study of a recent social media marketing communication campaign in South Africa.
Reading young adult South Africans’ reading of national television news
Authors: Ndlovu Musa
Published: October 2022

This article introduces a theoretical perspective on young adults’ television news-viewing choicesgrounded in the synthesis of reception aesthetics, socialisation theory and qualitative researchmethodology. It argues that this theoretical framework allows for a deeper contextual reading of thereader-text relationship and for the argument that, despite post-apartheid social transformation,young adult South Africans’ readings of locally produced television news texts are still ideologicallysituated sociocultural imports traceable to their differential class, race and gender positions in thecountry’s social structure. Evidence produced through focus-group interviews is used to supportthe position of the introduced theoretical framework.
Product, services and technology review blogs
Authors: Van Heerden Gené
Published: October 2022

While much research has been conducted on consumer skepticism about advertising, limitedattention has been focused on the relationship between gender and scepticism. As the Internetand new technologies continuously transform corporate communications, the relationshipbetween gender and scepticism in new media such as the blogosphere begs further research.This article focuses on consumer scepticism of blogs that review products, services andtechnologies. Demographic variables – and particularly gender – are commonly employed tosegment target audiences in an attempt to fit appeals specifically directed at males or females,or both. This article investigates three associated relationships: first, when gender is a significantpredictor of consumer scepticism of blogs; second, when a relationship exists between scepticismas a predictor of the frequency of blogs accessed; and lastly, when scepticism is a predictorof the number of blogs visited. Data from Australia and South Africa provide the findings andoffer guidance to practitioners for their new media selection and gender-based communicationmessages.
Between citizen and vigilante journalism
Authors: Mano Winston
Published: October 2022

New forms of online citizen journalism have refreshed political communication in Africa. Newinformation technologies are providing readers with previously unavailable opportunities tocomment and produce their own news and information that is able to influence political processes.However, all is not rosy about Africa’s new citizen journalism. While it has produced reliable andquality information that African democracies require, it has also produced vigilante journalism - avindictive and revengeful form of gathering and disseminating news and information. Vigilantejournalism is similar to the necklacing that was common in South African in the 1980s. The articlediscusses how, at the height of the Zimbabwe crisis (2007-2008), the news website, ZimDaily, leda vigilante campaign to publicly name and have perceived relatives and children of Zimbabweanruling party officials deported from ‘Western’ countries. The idea was to help resolve the politicaland economic crises in Zimbabwe. The editors refused to question the ethics and morality ofthe exercise. Thus, encouraged by the website’s editors, Zimbabwean users of the website tookthe law in their own hands and published addresses, telephone numbers and other personalinformation about anyone thought to be related to those in government in Zimbabwe. This blurredthe boundaries between citizen and vigilante journalism. The resultant vigilante journalism bygroups seeking instant justice was in a way similar to the necklacing, even though this was in avirtual sense. It is clear that the emerging new media spaces in Africa function like double-edgedswords able to either build or destroy democracy.

Time(s), space(s) and communication in Castells’s ‘Network Society’*
Authors: Olivier Bert
Published: October 2022

In ‘The Rise of the Network Society’ (2010), Manuel Castells elaborates on what today is commonknowledge, namely the notion of a society that is characterised both by networks of electronicallymediated communication and by networks undergirding economic exchanges worldwide. Inthis article, I explore a dissonance issuing from a feature of the network society, namely whatCastells calls the ‘transformation of space and time in the human experience’. In this context,he distinguishes between ‘the space of places’ and ‘the space of flows’, with the former referringto the historically familiar sense of space as a material precondition of social interaction andof architectural modulation into ‘place’, and the latter to a novel form of spatiality, one that isrelated to social interaction that has been fundamentally modified by advanced communicationtechnologies and is characterised by simultaneity, regardless of physical distance. This, in turn,is related to what Castells labels ‘timeless time’, which is noticeable where customary timesequences are blurred in certain contemporary practices, such as virtually instantaneous financialtransactions, ‘instant wars’ and virtual communication. This contrasts with both ordinary, ‘human’time and also with evolutionary ‘glacial time’ – a notion operative in the ecological movementand one that increasingly clashes with the demands of ‘timeless time’ in the network society. Thearticle reconstructs Castells’s comprehensive vision and points to the relevance of the conflictbetween these respective notions of space and time for contemporary communication practices.It also engages critically with the social implications of the dominant modes of space and time.

Published: October 2022

This article gives account of a research study that was conducted on a “beneficiary” community’sparticipation in HIV/AIDS communication through a community radio station. The aim was tounderstand the community’s presence and access to dialogue on HIV/AIDS, as practiced by theircommunity radio station. The research underpinning the article focused on a community radiostation based in Platfontein, Kimberley, in South Africa. X-K FM is a community radio station with!Xun and Khwe people as its primary target audience. The station is the only formal communicationchannel that targets these communities in their respective mother tongues. The researchersattempted to understand civil voices’ participation in and access to the strategies of HIV/AIDSprevention, care, support and treatment. The article is underpinned by Jürgen Habermas’stheory of structural transformation of the public sphere. Research data was gathered using semistructuredinterviews. The article concludes that the radio station has provided some avenues tofacilitate the process of beneficiary community participation in HIV/AIDS communication.
influence of incidental haptic sensations in evaluating consumer brands
Authors: Leo Leigh , Swinstead Elizabeth , Crous Freddie , De Bruin Gideon Pieter
Published: October 2022

Embodied cognition provides the epistemological means from which new insights into hapticsensations can be explored within the field of consumer psychology. Extant research has shownthat incidental haptic sensations can, nonconsciously, influence the judgement of objects that arenon-diagnostic (unrelated) for the actual qualities of the item being judged; this would includethe perception customers have of products. The application of this conception to the use of selfreportquestionnaires in consumer research lead to the hypothesis that the haptic experienceof a self-report questionnaire (weight and firmness of the paper) could, nonconsciously, triggerphysically grounded mental frameworks. In turn, this could lead consumers to form strongerproduct judgments when encountering an incidental, tactile experience of strength (firmness)in a self-report questionnaire. In two experiments (N = 178 and N = 128) evidence was found tosupport this hypothesis. Implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.
guideline for the strategic implementation of social media messaging within a marketing communication context
Authors: Cloete Ewoudt , Holtzhausen Lida
Published: October 2022

Marketing communication practitioners lack a guideline for implementing social mediastrategically. In the light of this, the authors of this article explored the strategic implementationof social media within a marketing communication context. A grounded theory process was firstlyfollowed in order to compile a list of social media messaging categories. This list was then pairedwith the disciplines of the marketing communication mix, based on their inherent similarities. Todemonstrate the practical relevance of the pairings thereafter, the authors followed a process ofaction research as a way of analysing an organisation’s existing social media messaging plan, referencing the strategic considerations that the pairing process inferred. By doing so, the authorsestablished that the pairing and action research process explored could be used as a strategicguideline for social media managers to improve the degree to which an organisation’s socialmedia messaging is conducive to the reaching of specific marketing communication objectives.
Response strategies to maintain emotional resonant brand reputations when targeted by user-generated brand parodies
Authors: Pritchard Maritha , Van der Waldt De la Rey , Conradie David Pieter
Published: October 2022

Mostly satirising top-of-mind brands, user-generated parody accounts are a phenomenon mostlyassociated with Twitter. As an emerging trend in South Africa, parody accounts using cleverlywrittensatire attract a large and loyal following as social media communities enjoy the sharedpleasure of sharing funny content and the intense positive emotions felt when making fun ofbrands that they care about. Of particular concern is when audiences find parody accounts morehonest, entertaining and authentic compared to the official social media brand account. Moreover,user-generated parody accounts often misappropriate brand identities, thereby not only confusingunsuspecting social media communities but also satirising brand meanings. Correspondingly,social media management teams are faced with a reputational risk or paracrisis, since theemotional resonance of brand reputations are being hijacked. Too often, official responses toparody accounts are knee-jerk responses to take back control, such as aggressive threats andlitigation, easily escalating into angry viral social media backlashes. The purpose of the study wasto establish suitable paracrisis response strategies for parodied brands to maintain emotionallyresonant reputations. Using a synergistic approach to mixed methods in a triangulation design,this study collected and analysed data from a purposive and snowball sample of 207 social mediaexperts. Findings suggested that humorous, tongue-in-cheek banter with user-generated parodyaccounts intended for harmless fun optimise emotionally resonant brand reputations in the ageof parody.

A pro-government disinformation campaign on Indonesian Papua
Authors: McRae Dave , del Mar Quiroga Maria , Russo-Batterham Daniel , Doyle Kim
Published: October 2022

This research identifies an Indonesian-language Twitter disinformation campaign posting pro-government materials on Indonesian governance in Papua, site of a protracted ethno-nationalist, pro-independence insurgency. Curiously, the campaign does not employ common disinformation tactics such as hashtag flooding or the posting of clickbait with high engagement potential, nor does it seek to build user profiles that would make the accounts posting this material appear as important participants in a debate over Papua’s status. The campaign simply employs synchronous, duplicate posts by ostensibly distinct authors to ensure that a significant proportion of posts mentioning contentious special autonomy arrangements are pro-government. Despite lacking sophistication, the scale of this information campaign in overall Twitter discussion of special autonomy adds to concerns about the ability of pro-government actors to employ disinformation to constrict political discourse in Southeast Asia.
Vizing's and Shannon's Theorems for Defective Edge Colouring
Authors: Aboulker Pierre , Aubian Guillaume , Huang Chien-Chung
Published: October 2022

We call a multigraph $(k,d)$-edge colourable if its edge set can be partitioned into $k$ subgraphs of maximum degree at most $d$ and denote as $\chi'_{d}(G)$ the minimum $k$ such that $G$ is $(k,d)$-edge colourable. We prove that for every odd integer $d$, every multigraph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ is $(\lceil \frac{3\Delta - 1}{3d - 1} \rceil, d)$-edge colourable and this bound is attained for all values of $\Delta$ and $d$. An easy consequence of Vizing's Theorem is that, for every (simple) graph $G,$ $\chi'_{d}(G) \in \{ \lceil \frac{\Delta}{d} \rceil, \lceil \frac{\Delta+1}{d} \rceil \}$. We characterize the values of $d$ and $\Delta$ for which it is NP-complete to compute $\chi'_d(G)$. These results generalize classic results on the chromatic index of a graph by Shannon, Holyer, Leven and Galil and extend a result of Amini, Esperet and van den Heuvel.
Longing for the Victory of South Korean National Football Team: Sport Tourists to a Football Museum
Authors: Kim Euisoo , Jeong Yunduk
Published: October 2022

To attract nostalgic sport tourists, sporting destinations should understand antecedents of tourists' word of mouth (WOM). Thus, this study investigated structural relationships among perceived value, satisfaction, place attachment, and WOM while examining the mediating roles of satisfaction and place attachment among nostalgic sport tourists. Data were collected from 282 visitors to the Football Museum in Suwon City, South Korea. Construct validity of the measurement scale was verified by high-order confirmatory factor analysis, factor loadings, average variance extracted, construct reliability, and correlation analyses. Cronbach's alpha analyses were conducted to ensure reliability of the measurement scale. A structural equation modeling analysis with maximum likelihood estimation was executed to examine relationships among the variables in the specified model using the responses of 282 participants. The results revealed positive impacts of (a) perceived value on satisfaction and WOM and (b) satisfaction on WOM and place attachment, and demonstrated (c) a partial mediating impact of satisfaction on the relationship between perceived value and WOM. Place attachment was not found to influence WOM or mediate the relationship between satisfaction and WOM. The findings of this study provide additional supporting evidence of the positive relationship between satisfaction and place attachment, whose relationship has been debated in tourism literature. Moreover, the results revealed a partial mediating effect of satisfaction on the relation between perceived value and WOM among football museum visitors. Contrary to previous findings, this study did not find a significant impact of place attachment on WOM; thus, satisfaction was not found to affect WOM via place attachment.

Published: October 2022

Access to business finance is the backbone of small and medium enterprises’ success. Women have been involved in economic development in both developed and developing countries because of engaging in business activities that create employment and enhance livelihoods. Women in urban and rural obtain credit services through group formation rather than individual because of the challenges they face, such as lack of collateral. However, attaining financial inclusion through group lending has seen many women left out in this process due to the lending models and approaches utilised by these institutions. Previous studies have demonstrated that women may access financial credit from micro-finance institutions through a corresponding growth in women’s enterprises remains unknown. This study, therefore, sought to establish the relationship between group lending mechanisms and the growth of women enterprises funded by Kenya Women Finance Trust in Kericho County. Specifically, the study assessed the relationship between group characteristics and the growth of women’s enterprises funded by Kenya women’s finance trust. The study adopted a correlation research design with a target population is 636 members from 70 women enterprises in Kericho County. A sample of 245 women was selected using a stratified sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Validity was determined through piloting, where the researcher compared the actual outcome against predicted responses. Reliability was determined using Cronbach’s alpha to examine the reliability, where a coefficient value of 0.895 was found and thus deemed reliable. Collected data was coded into a statistical package for social statistics version 23 and analysed through descriptive statistics and inferential statistical analysis. Data were presented as frequency tables, pie charts, and graphs. The study established that group characteristics had a significant effect on the financial growth of women enterprises funded by Kenya Women Finance Trust in Kericho County. The study concluded that group mechanisms through group characteristics had a significant effect on the growth of women. Therefore, the study recommended that the government should increase the amount of grants and loans offered to various business groups to improve access to credit to the group as well as encourage group loans in Micro-Finances Institutions
Platelet microparticles from their features to stroke implication

Since 1967 when platelet microparticles were discovered, the platelet’s researchers were demonstrated the procoagulant properties of these platelet membranes nano-fragments. They are versatile bioeffectors in haemostasis because of their membrane receptors content. From these reasons, recently has been suggested that the platelet microparticles may constitute an important marker of atherothrombosis and, consequently a prognosis factor in various vascular diseases, including ischemic stroke. On the other way, the antiplatelet therapy focused on platelet microparticles activity may be beneficial.

Authors:   Neurology Department, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Targu Mures, Romania, Balasa Rodica , Bajko Zoltan ,   Neurology Department, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Targu Mures, Romania
Published: October 2022

Background: The prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is higher in multiple sclerosis (MS) as compared in the general population. Clinical and treatment responses of MS patients compared with non-MS patients are in debate. Objective: To evaluate clinical differences in trigeminal pain presentation and pharmacological treatment response in patients with and without underlying MS. Material and methods: A retrospective study of 10 MS patients that had TN as a first symptom or in the MS course (from the total 545 MS patients). Data regarding MS (sex, age at MS onset, type, symptomatology, number and site of lesions on brain MRI, treatment) and TN (clinical characteristics of facial pain, treatment), period from TN as a clinically isolated syndrome to defined MS or period from MS onset to TN beginning were analyzed. Clinical, demographical and treatment response were compared with corresponding data of 10 consecutive patients hospitalized for idiopathic TN. Results: The only difference between MS and non-MS patients was the age of onset of TN (41.8 ±6.12 in MS vs 52.7±16.5 in non –MS patients, p=0.07, unpaired Student’s t-test). There are no differences in trigeminal pain characteristics between MS and non-MS patients. Conclusions: TN among MS patients has an onset at younger age but share the same pain characteristics and treatment responds with TN in the general population. TN in MS has multiple mechanisms of aetiopathogenesis and surgical treatment must be held in mind in selected cases.

Published: October 2022

Objective: To study whether HR variability might be impaired before the clinician becomes aware for the presence of PNP and to define the correlation between CAN and PNP in type 2 diabetes. Patients and method: 212 type 2 diabetic patients were examined by 5 autonomic reflex tests: 1.deep breathing test 2.Valsalva test; 3.heart rate response during stand test; 4.orthostatic blood pressure response; 5.dyastolic blood pressure response during isometric exercise. PNP was diagnosed Michigan screening test. Results: More than half the patients without evidence of PNP were diagnosed as subclinical CAN and almost 3/4 of patients with evidence of PNP had autonomic impairment. We found a good correlation between CAN and PNP (p=0.0017). Conclusion: 1. CAN may develop first and independent from PNP in type 2 diabetes. 2. Evidence of one type of neuropathy increases the risk for the other type of neuropathy. 3. Periodical survey of neurological involvement should include autonomic function testing besides the well known practice of screening for somatic neuropathy in diabetes.

A major cause of disability after stroke is impaired contralateral manual dexterity. Recently it has been suggested that this may be at least partly due to a maladaptive increase in inhibition from the unaffected primary motor cortex (M1). Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive potential therapy that modulations M1 excitability via a weak electrical direct current applied to the scalp. Immediate improvement of affected hand function was obtained by anodal (excitatory) tDCS over the affected M1 or by cathodal (inhibitory) tDCS over the unaffected M1. Although the tDCS “after-effects” can last for hours to days following a 20-minute stimulation session, they are inherently transitory. There is hope that repeated tDCS sessions applied early after stroke could reduce the maladaptive neuroplasticity and aid hand dexterity rehabilitation.

Published: October 2022

Despite progression in medical science, intracerebral hemorrhage is the deadliest and least treatable form of stroke. Most of data about pathophysiology of ICH are obtained from animal models. Some of these models are able to reproduce human ICH with high accuracy, but most of them determine artificial changes in brain. Among the human in vivo research tools we can name Nuclear Medicine imaging – PET-CT and SPECT with HMPAO or ECD-99mTc. The aim of our study was to report the pattern of cerebral perfusion in patient with acute stage of ICH and its relation with hematoma localization, presence of risk factors and CT scan findings.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is one of the newest areas of medical imaging which evaluates the activation of different zones in the brain during the acquisition of brain images by functional magnetic resonance. One of the applications of fMRI is the assessment of language area. In this article we summarize the most important data related to fMRI in the language assessment and we illustrate with a clinical case of a girl with symptomatic epilepsy secondary to a dual pathology of temporal lobe in the dominant cerebral hemisphere (tumour and dysplastic lesion), in which the use of this method helped at presurgical planning.

Published: October 2022

Background: Dissection of the cervical-cerebral arteries is an important cause of stroke in all age groups, specifically in younger population. Dissection of the cervical-cerebral arteries is produced by rupture of the intima and media layers, leading to the occurrence of an intramural haematoma. In several circumstances dissection of the cervical-cerebral has a peculiar aspect, of a permeable double arterial lumen. Objective: We try to demonstrate the existence of this particularity in the dissection of the cervical-cerebral arteries, named as ’’flow-splitter” dissection. Method: We have used a battery of tests with which we have tried to show in a coherent and reproducible manner the flow-splitter dissection in a cohort of approx. 30 patients, man and women, selected on the general basis of a regular screening Echo-Doppler investigation of the cervical-cerebral arteries, when we found non-specific flow alterations in these arteries. The main methods of assessment were: Echo-Doppler evaluation of the cervical-cerebral arteries, with and without ultrasound contrast agent, CT-scan, MRI, angio-MRI, IVUS, DSA. Results: By using the imaging techniques described above, part of the patients from the population previously described had specific alterations of the affected artery showing dissection with permeable double lumen, with different Doppler flow characteristics in the two lumen. Administration of an ultrasound contrast agent is clearly showing the intravascular septum, which could be identified also during the IVUS. On the other hand DSA is not showing a narrowing of the artery caliber but only a prolonged remaining of the contrast agent at the level of suspected artery dissection. Conclusion: Based upon the data gathered using the investigation methods described, it could be demonstrated that there is a particular type of dissection of the cervical-cerebral arteries, permeable double lumen dissection or “flow-splitter” dissection.

Published: October 2022

В статье рассматриваются пути формирования читательской грамотности на уроках русского языка в средней школе. В последнее время школьные учителя активно показывают заинтересованность в решении этой проблемы, однако в научной и методической литературе нет точной схемы работы в данном направлении. В Федеральных стандартах 3-го поколения особое место в числе метапредметных навыков отводится чтению. Материалом для исследования послужили теоретические положения и практические задания в УМК по русскому языку для 6-го класса (УМК М. М. Разумовской, УМК Т. А. Ладыженской и др., УМК Л. М. Рыбченковой). Использовались методы: описательно-аналитический, контекстуально-логический, экспериментальный. Особое внимание обращается на смысловое чтение, на читательские умения, формирование которых является приоритетным направлением развития современной системы образования. Авторы анализируют различные виды работы со сплошным текстом на уроках развития речи. Исследование показало, что до применения рекомендованных авторами заданий учащиеся воспринимали сплошной текст с большими затруднениями. В результате использования различных заданий к текстам разных видов значительно улучшилось их восприятие: учащиеся стали быстрее ориентироваться в тексте, определять его тему и идею, отвечать на поставленные вопросы.

The article considers the ways of forming reader’s literacy at Russian Language lessons in secondary school. Recently, school teachers have been actively showing interest in solving this problem, but in the scientific and methodological works there is no exact scheme of work of how to do it. In the Federal standards of the 3rd generation, reading is paid special attention to among the meta-subject skills. The material for the study was the theoretical provisions and practical tasks in the training package on the Russian language for the 6th grade (training packages by M. M. Razumovskaya, by T. A. Ladyzhenskaya, by L. M. Rybchenkova). The methods employed in the work are descriptive-analytical, contextual-logical, experimental. Particular attention is paid to semantic reading, reading skills, the formation of which is a priority in the development of modern education system. The authors analyze various types of work with continuous text at the lessons of speech development. The study showed that before using the tasks recommended by the authors, pupils perceived a continuous text with great difficulty. As a result of using various tasks for texts of different types, their perception has significantly improved: pupils began to quickly navigate throughout the text, determine its topic and idea, and answer the questions.

The main purpose of the study is to form a methodological approach to the management system of innovative activities at enterprises in the context of their economic development. To achieve this purpose, a methodical approach was formed containing a certain set of methods, the main of which is the methodology of functional modeling and graphic representation – IDEF0. As a result, the main decompositions of our model were presented with the proposed ways to improve the management system of innovative activities at the enterprise, taking into account the main goals of economic development. Our study was presented in the work of several companies in Eastern Europe to identify its effectiveness and convenience. The flexibility of the model makes it possible to effectively apply it in the practical activities of many enterprises. The originality of the research results implies the application of the existing methodology in a new area for it, namely in the management system of innovative activities and innovative development of the enterprise. The study has several limitations, which are primarily related to the fact that, due to the conditions of the pandemic, its practical application took place exclusively at Ukrainian enterprises.

Para tal, realizamos junto às instituições de ensino que compõem a Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, um levantamento acerca das regulamentações específicas das instituições, no que se refere ao ano da implantação/publicação, natureza do documento, abrangência e forma de acesso ao direito. À luz de referenciais teóricos que discorrem sobre a temática buscamos relacioná-los à legislação vigente no que se refere à regulamentação do uso do nome social, bem como fazer um contraponto entre as legislações existentes que regulamentam o uso do nome social e projetos de lei refratários ao tema aqui proposto. Ao término do levantamento junto às instituições de ensino, constatamos que 79% delas possuem regulamentos próprios e destas 39% se anteciparam ao debate, implementando regulamentações próprias que antecedem as Resoluções Federais. Destacamos a importância desse fato, contudo, não se deve desconsiderar, que essas regulamentações são fruto das outras legislações e lutas do movimento LGBTI+.

O Brasil vem assistindo a retrocessos no campo da educação e de direitos reprodutivos, como a lei imposta de 2011 a 2016 da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Rio de Janeiro para o controle da maternidade na adolescência. Interessadas nas percepções de atores sociais nesta implementação estudamos duas escolas no município de Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, uma bonificada financeiramente para atender as metas propostas pela Secretaria do Estado, e a outra não. Apresentamos neste trabalho trechos de entrevistas realizadas com quatro alunas, duas professoras e dois professores. Os resultados indicam diferentes percepções de professores e de professoras sobre a gravidez precoce e a dificuldade de sensibilizar o corpo discente. Em contrapartida, os relatos das alunas indicam a falta de conhecimento de ações escolares para a prevenção da gravidez. Por meio da análise de conteúdo dos relatos de discentes e docentes, alguns conceitos de poder e sexualidade de Michel Foucault são elencados.

Published: October 2022

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o diálogo estabelecido entre duas letras de samba: “Nós Somos Mulheres” de Doralyce Ferreira e Silvia Duffrayer e “Mulheres” de Toninho Geraes. Essa interlocução pode ser compreendida a partir de um modelo de chamada-e-resposta muito comum nas rodas de samba, aquele em que dois solistas dialogam. Sob a ótica da africanidade apresentamos o samba enquanto uma expressão cultural de origem negra, cuja subversão foi central para sua existência. A pesquisa orientou-se por uma revisão bibliográfica do assunto. As músicas são analisadas como dados sociais, visto que estão correlacionadas a uma época e consequentemente refletem o mundo social. Verificamos que a teoria crítica feminista negra fornece insumos teóricos, como a interseccionalidade, para compreendermos as reivindicações e denúncias apresentadas pelas compositoras na letra da música. Podemos perceber que esse diálogo, diz respeito, ao exercício do lugar de fala e do ponto de vista, tão reivindicados por feministas negras.
As mulheres negras e o enviesamento da tecnologia
Authors: Ramos Wanessa Assunção , Teider Lucas Hinckel
Published: October 2022

O problema de pesquisa foi o questionamento de como o enviesamento da tecnologia afeta as mulheres negras. Como objetivo geral tem-se a evidenciação e crítica de como a tecnologia afeta a vida das mulheres, principalmente sobre o viés de gênero, raça e classe. A concepção crítica da tecnologia utilizada entende que ela não é neutra e está atrelada à sociedade, a qual também possui seus enviesamentos e disputas. Utilizaram-se os métodos fenomenológico e hipotético-dedutivo, o procedimento monográfico e descritivo e a técnica bibliográfica e documental. Concluiu-se que o enviesamento da tecnologia é uma forma de violência de gênero e somente a representatividade feminina poderia resolver ou mitigar a problemática. A contribuição deste artigo para o campo de Tecnologia e Gênero caracteriza-se como a necessidade de abordar os riscos específicos da tecnologia e a necessidade de representatividade feminina (inputs) para a alteração do resultado (outputs) do estado da arte.
Por que os astronautas “flutuam”? A representação do princípio da imponderabilidade em experimentos desenvolvidos para o ensino médio

Muitos estudantes saem do ensino médio sem conseguir identificar saberes básicos de físicaem seu cotidiano, e quando o fazem, na maioria das vezes, não são capazes de transporeste conhecimento a situações distant es do seu dia a dia. Assim, apresentamos nessetrabalho uma proposta de desenvolvimento do conceito de imponderabilidade para oensino médio, por meio da realização de três experimentos: i) em um elevador real, ii) emum elevador em miniatura, construído p ara ser utilizado por professores em sala de aula eiii) a construção de um experimento que se utiliza de um circuito eletrônico, que visademonstrar, de forma análoga, os efeitos da imponderabilidade nos astronautas da EstaçãoEspacial. Para isso, passamo s por uma breve revisão do conceito de imponderabilidade euma discussão sobre a experimentação no ensino de física, abordando a importância destaspráticas quando preocupadas com o ensino de ciência e da atividade científica. Por fim,sugerimos um procedi mento didático contendo estes experimentos, utilizando se dealgumas asserções sobre o ensino do método científico. Desta forma, consideramos que asatividades experimentais, além de serem elaboradas para a compreensão de umdeterminado conteúdo, devem ser sempre pensadas, sobretudo, no contexto daconstrução do conhecimento científico.
A aquaponia como ferramenta didático-metodológica no ensino de ciências e matemática: experiências e propostas didáticas no contexto amazonense
Authors: Souza Jerson Sandro Santos de , Souza Rondon Tatsuta Yamane Baptista de , Souza Leandro De Oliveira
Published: October 2022

Neste artigo, apresentam-se algumas reflexões sobre o uso pedagógico de sistemas aquapônicos no ensino de ciências e matemática, fundamentadas em análise teórica com base bibliográfica. Discute-se o modo como essa proposta didático-metodológica pode engendrar ambientes de aprendizagem propícios a diminuir a distância entre teoria e prática e a integrar as disciplinas de caráter científico com a tecnologia. Dentre os textos analisados, destacam-se duas experiências didáticas, uma delas desenvolvida pelo segundo autor, em sua dissertação de mestrado (SOUZA, 2018), e a outra foi por ele orientada, realizada no contexto de um projeto de conclusão de curso técnico (SILVA et al., 2018). As experiências descritas nesses trabalhos envolveram alunos da periferia e da zona rural da cidade de Itacoatiara, no interior do estado do Amazonas. Nelas, o uso da aquaponia justificou-se não só pelo seu potencial de permitir um trabalho colaborativo e investigativo, mas também porque possibilitou atender uma demanda social da região: uma forma alternativa de cultivo de peixes e hortaliças, em uma região onde há abundância de água e o solo é pouco fértil. Para os fins deste artigo, essas experiências não foram aplicadas a um novo público de alunos, mas, sim, analisadas a partir de novo enfoque, ampliando a perspectiva original desses trabalhos para fins educacionais: a primeira, descrita na dissertação, foi analisada segundo a perspectiva das possibilidades e limitações do uso educacional da aquaponia; e a segunda, discutida no projeto de conclusão, foi analisada à luz dos pressupostos da modelagem matemática, sendo reapresentada como proposta didática. Conclui-se o trabalho argumentando que o uso pedagógico de sistemas aquapônicos pode contribuir para o ensino de ciências e matemática com um suporte empírico-concreto em atividades organizadas segundo os pressupostos da modelagem matemática e com situações didáticas abertas a questões de relevância social.
Contribuições para o ensino de física nos anos finais do ensino fundamental por meio da produção colaborativa de animações
Authors: Pinto Gustavo Mayer , Saavedra Filho Nestor Cortez
Published: October 2022

O ensino de Física nas séries finais do Ensino Fundamental constitui um desafio, tanto pela formação dos professores quanto pela mediação dos conteúdos propriamente ditos, tendo como referência a Base Nacional Comum Curricular. Este artigo tem por objetivo levantar as potencialidades despertadas nos estudantes pela produção colaborativa de animações para ensinar conceitos de Física no 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa realizada é de caráter qualitativo, como um estudo de caso, e foi realizada em uma escola da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Curitiba com 23 estudantes de uma turma do 9º ano. Para isso, foi elaborada uma estratégia didático-metodológica baseada na produção colaborativa com o uso de tecnologias digitais, tendo como referência Coll, Mauri e Onrubia (2010). Foram produzidas cinco animações pelos participantes, que foram analisadas à luz do triângulo interativo proposto por Coll, Mauri e Onrubia. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que essa estratégia auxiliou na atividade construtiva dos estudantes e proporcionou uma visão mais ampla acerca dos fenômenos físicos trabalhados na sala de aula. A partir da análise textual dos resultados, considera-se que a estratégia didático-metodológica empregada nesta pesquisa pode contribuir para a abordagem dos conteúdos de Física nessa etapa de ensino, além de possibilitar que o estudante seja apresentado a esses temas de uma forma diferente das convencionais.
