Polyamorous ventriloquy: Loiterature as textual cruising
Authors: Campbell Marion May
Published: December 2021

I would like to address the potential of a critical project for the generation of creative work, deploying Ross Chambers’ concept of ‘loiterature’ as a mode of textual cruising, and to consider the kind of polyamorous ventriloquy which this practice can catalyse. While the paper draws on my own recent experience of this dialogue between critical and creative enquiries I hope that it works as an argument for the nurturing space the academy can offer for experimentation and for new creative departures. I also hope it challenges the romance of the ‘creator’ as individual; implicit throughout this paper is the idea of ‘creativity’ as polyamorous receptivity.
The Lonely Girl: Investigating the scholarly nexus of trauma life-writing and process in tertiary institutions
Authors: Joseph Sue
Published: December 2021

Memoir writing and publishing has surged in recent years and this pattern is reflected in a surge in the number of students seeking to undertake degrees in auto-ethnographic creative non-fiction writing within tertiary institutions,specifically in relation to their own personal trauma. This paper discusses attempts to implement a pedagogical model to facilitate the supervision of students seeking to write trauma narrative, positing that because of the nature of their writing, they are closer to further psychic injury throughout the process than students not undertaking trauma writing. The result is that specialised attention is warranted and necessary, and indeed without specialised care, the offering of such degrees within tertiary settings could be framed as ethically fraught. The paper will discuss the current pedagogical model, and its implementation. But then will look at a case study where the model fell dramatically short. The ensuing argument is that the model should only ever be regarded as a default to be constantly developed. It argues that students choosing to undertake life writing around personal trauma are exposed to further psychic danger as a direct result of their studies, and must be seen as individuals, with specific and hyper-vigilant supervision needs.
Precolonial Igbo Voices in Akwaeke Emezi’s Freshwater (2018): A Palimpsestic Search for “Home”
Authors: Ossana Eugenia
Published: December 2021

The present article examines how Freshwater (2018), the debut novel of the Nigerian writer  Akwaeke Emezi, offers a layered portrayal of precolonial Igbo and western narratives. By recourse to the auto-fictional narrative mode, the fiction deploys a constant tug of war which suggests the culturally hybrid nature of discourses connected to spiritual belief, self-identity dynamics and gender. My analysis pivots around three main discussions. Firstly, I trace and exemplify the aesthetic and thematic imbrication between Igbo cosmology (and Animism) and Christianity. Secondly, I seek to evince the unconventional depiction of plural consciousnesses coexisting in an individual in an effort to contest long-established truisms of self formation. I also focus on the ensuing amalgam between western conceptions of mental illness, trauma and Igbo mystic interpretations of reality. Considering the peripheral Igbo stance the novel depicts, the fiction will be contextualised within the current literary meta- and trans-modernist axis. Thirdly, I refer to transgender issues mapped up and brought to the fore through the main character’s predicament; a search for existential answers commingling divergent paradigms. Thus, Freshwater offers a peculiar polyphony of numinous narratorial voices which strive to question extant (neo)postcolonial truths.
Grafite em tempos da pandemia do Covid-19: uma análise folkcomunicacional a partir da arte urbana
Authors: Sabbatini Marcelo
Published: December 2021

Com o ano de 2020 sendo marcado na História pela pandemia mundial ocasionada pelo novo coronavírus e pela enfermidade Covid-19, todos traços da sociabilidade humana foram impactados, a partir não somente da perspectiva de isolamento social, mas dos efeitos da doença e da morte. Diante desta comoção, nossa proposta é analisar como as diversas temáticas da pandemia foram abordadas a partir do sistema alternativo de comunicação não-hegemônico e popular e especificamente o grafite urbano. Como premissa, consideramos que esta forma de expressão imagética consiste um canal de Folkcomunicação, através do qual as camadas marginalizadas da sociedade ressignificam os fluxos e mensagens comunicacionais “oficiais”. A partir da análise da imagem aplicada a grafites urbanos documentados ao redor do mundo com a temática da pandemia exploramos a capacidade deste tipo de expressão em servir como ferramenta comunicacional em plano individual, coletivo e político, atuando tanto de forma aliada ao discurso hegemônico em relação às ações preventivas, como de maneira contestadora, reivindicando necessidades das classes populares e questionando do ponto de vista político a atuação de líderes nacionais na condução da pandemia.

Published: December 2021

Plagiarism is the act of taking or plagiarizing the work, ideas or ideas of others either intentionally or unintentionally and claiming to be one's own work without mentioning the source or author. Often students plagiarize assignments given by the lecturer so that sometimes students just copy other people's assignments to complete the assignment. So that this can lead to dependence on other people in doing assignments and not being able to independently carry out assignments given by the lecturer. Currently, many plagiarism detection systems have been created to help reduce the level of plagiarism, one of which is the winnowing algorithm. In this study the authors used the winnowing algorithm to detect plagiarism in student assignments, namely programming source code, from the results of research conducted on 10 student assignments using the winnowing algorithm produced various similarity values as a percentage of similarity between two students tasks compared. With an average value of the overall similarity of the 10 tasks, namely 75.12%.

Authors: Godela Ramreddy , G Sowjanya
Published: December 2021

A trouble-free, simple, specific and highly sensitive stability indicating phase HPLC method was developed for concurrent assessment of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir in pure and in their combined tablet formulation. An effectual separation was accomplished by using XDB Phenyl (250 x 4.6mm, 5µ,100 A0) column, mobile phase composition of Acetonitrile: buffer(0.1%v/v Trifluoroaceticacid in water) (50:50 v/v) and isocratic elution at a flow rate of 1ml/min and detection wavelength of 275nm. The extreme stress conditions like hydrolysis with acid and base, peroxide oxidation, thermal decomposition were used as per ICH specifications to assess the stability of the analytes in bulk and dosage forms. The retention times of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir were found at 2.8 and 3.7min respectively. The proposed method has linear response in the concentration ranges from 12 to 36µg/ml and 80 to 240 µg/ml for Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir respectively. The detection and quantification limits calculated as 2.5μg/ml and 7.8μg/ml for DCL, 5.2μg/ml and 15.8μg/ml SOF respectively. All the method validation parameters were met the acceptance limits of Q2 specifications of ICH procedures. The degradation products produced by forced degradation studies were have good resolution from Daclatasir and Sofosbuvir peaks, which represents the methods stability. The proposed RP-HPLC method was highly sensitive, precise, stability indicating and economical. That’s why the method has the capacity to employ in the pharmaceutical manufacturing of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir and routine analysis in quality control department.
Stability indicating Analytical Method Development using Quality by Design (QbD) approach for simultaneous estimation of Ivabradine and Metoprolol
Authors: Gandhi Noopur K. , Ezhava Sindhu B.
Published: December 2021

The applicability of a quality by design (QbD) approach for the development of a sensitive and selective stability indicating reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of Ivabradine and Metoprolol was investigated. Design of experiments using a fractional factorial design approach was used for method development. Fifteen experimental runs were performed to optimize the chromatographic conditions like mobile phase, flow rate and column oven temperature. Mobile phase composition was optimized by changing Acetonitrile composition ranging between 13 and 17% v/v, Flow rate from 0.6 to 1.0 ml/min and temperature between 30 to 50 0C. The optimized method produced sharp peaks with good resolution (>2) for Metoprolol and Ivabradine with retention times of 3.3 and 9.2 min, respectively. The experimental data revealed that volume of Acetonitrile in mobile phase was prominently affecting the Retention time, Resolution & tailing factor of both the drugs. Normal probability plots revealed that the residual and predicted data fall approximately on a straight line, indicating that the experimental error for these studies was evenly distributed suggesting that the model could be used to navigate the design space. This approach is useful to expedite method development and optimization activities in analytical laboratories.

A Review
Authors: LF Tan , R Mogana , Chinnappan Sasikala , R Venkatalakshmi , VL Yap
Published: December 2021

Hyperpigmentation disorders caused by excessive melanin synthesis may significantly affect the psychosocial aspect of an individual. Being the current gold standard used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders, hydroquinone is associated with several adverse effects including skin irritation, contact dermatitis, mutagenic to mammalian cells, cytotoxic to melanocytes as well as exogenous ochronosis in darker-complexioned individuals. Botanically derived agents have received increased attention in treating hyperpigmentation as they are perceived to be milder, safer, healthier and more cost-effective. Several herbs, plant extracts and phytochemicals with multitude mechanisms of action have been reported to be effective depigmenting agents with milder side effects. Some of the agents were studied in combination and their hypopigmentation effects may be resulting from synergistic effects of the various components. Mechanisms involved in depigmentation include tyrosinase inhibition, inhibition of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-induced melanogenesis and antioxidant properties. Use of plant-derived agents for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders is promising with the need for more rigorous clinical studies to support the use of these agents. This review summarizes the use of various plants and bioactive constituents and their effectiveness in the control of pigmentation.

Drug-drug interactions (DDI) are the most common cases that occur in our healthcare in which are very alarming as it may lead to severe complications. Consumption of natural products concomitantly with conventional drugs or treatment using polypharmacy have become the norm that promoting the potential of pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic drug interactions as the combination may mimic, increase or reduce the effects of the drug or the herb which could result in clinically significant interactions. CYP2C9 is the second major isoform from CYP450 family of enzyme, which responsible in phase 1 metabolism of 15-20% clinical drugs. Up to date, many substrates of CYP2C9 have been discovered and these discoveries may open more doors for potential drug-drug interactions in patients. Many studies have been done to evaluate the effect of drugs on the activity of CYP2C9 and how it influenced the effectiveness of therapy in patients. Various data regarding CYP2C9 related DDI from in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies were critically discussed in this review to provide insights on how these drugs and natural products may exhibit drug interactions clinically. This review could be beneficial reference material for health practitioners and researchers.

Authors: KUZU Ayşe , ERGÖL Şule , PARASIZ ASLANTÜRK Gözde
Published: December 2021

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the perceived stress and body image of women who received service from hairdressing salons with their opinions about benefiting from beauty services.

Method: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 333 female participants who had service from 10 hairdressing salons operating on a street which is considered as the centre of the city between 15.04.2017-15.05.2017. The data of the study was collected by using “Personal Information Form”, “Perceived Stress Scale” and “Body Cathexis Scale (BCS)”.

Results: In this study, it was determined that stress perception of women who benefit from beauty services on a regular basis is low and their body image is positive; the body image of women going to the hairdresser to feel good is positive; body image of women whose aim is to feel good and who partially regret the procedure is negative; stress perception of women who feel relieved when they go to the hairdresser is low; the relationship between the appearance of women and their psychological status influences the body image and there was a positive correlation between the scores of perceived stress and the body image.

Conclusion: As it is known, many mental health problems are related to stress and psychological well-being is a situation involving the body image. This positive effect of beauty services is thought to be effective for women’s mental health care services.
Eliminating ‘Thick’ Borders: Analysing the Legal Framework on Non-Tariff Barriers in the Africa Continental Free Trade Area Agreement
Authors: Penda Catherine
Published: December 2021

African countries have long recognised that regional integration is vital if Africa is to optimise its growth potential and boost its bargaining power in the global marketplace. This explains the proliferation of several Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) across the continent culminating in the conclusion of the landmark African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). However, despite the concerted efforts to boost intra-trade among African countries, African borders remain ‘thick’ because of the continued existence of Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) that reverse gains made from initiatives of trade liberalisation. Accordingly, if the landmark Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is to be successful, it must strive to address and eliminate Africa’s NTBs. It is argued in this paper that while the AfCFTA makes some important strides in reducing NTBs in intra-African trade, there are still some significant gaps in the AfCFTA’s provisions on NTBs that need to be addressed. Some of these gaps include: the lack of a comprehensive legal framework that adequately addresses all the categories of NTBs and the lack of clear guidelines on how to promote harmonisation among conflicting measures among RTAs. This article singles out and analyses provisions on NTBs under the AfCFTA with the aim of determining whether the AfCFTA addresses the challenges currently facing other RTAs in tackling NTBs. The author will identify shortcomings in the legal framework of the AfCFTA with the aim of making proposals to address them.

Published: December 2021

Introduction

Assuming that spinal shape is a genetic expression, its analysis and acquired factors could assess their respective contribution to early spine deterioration.

Material and methods

A geometric morphometric analysis was retrospectively performed on sagittal lumbar MRI of young patients with back pain to identify lumbar spine shape changes. Using Geometric Morphometrics, findings were analyzed with anthropometric, radiological, and clinical variables.

Results

80 cases under 26 years of age were collected, 55 men (mean age 22.81) and 25 women (mean age 23.24). MRI abnormalities were reported in 57.5%: single altered disc (N=17), root compromises (N=8), and transition anomalies (35%).

In the non-normal MRI subgroup, shape variation included: increased lordosis, enlarged vertebral body, canal stenosis, and lumbarization of S1. In non-Spanish origin patients, lumbar straightening and segmental deformities were prevalent. Morphometrics findings showed that lumbosacral transition anomalies are frequently underreported.

Conclusions

Genetic factors could be the main determinants of abnormality in MRIs under 26 years. The primary markers are transitional abnormalities, segmental deformities, and canal stenosis. In foreign populations, shape changes could suggest spine overload at an early age.
'CrEEd for Future Schools'
Authors: Reitinger Johannes , Pürstinger Agnes , Oyrer Susanne
Published: December 2021

This paper describes the inquiry-oriented improvement concept of CrEEd for Schools regarding pivotal characteristics, prototypical experiences, and findings concerning its impact on pupils’ learning experience and teachers’ instructional performance. A reflection of these experiences and findings collected during an implementation process conducted in an Austrian secondary school (2018–2019), motivates us to further rethink and to extend the conceptual architecture of CrEEd for Schools. We adjusted decisive conceptual components and integrated a concrete content layer into this inquiry-oriented approach – namely the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In doing so, we assume that the revised concept CrEEd for Future Schools will overcome the initial obstacles.

Egzegetsko-teološka analiza Pj 4,1-7 i Izr 31,10-31
Authors: Maly Anđelo
Published: December 2021

Dva biblijska teksta iz Pjesme nad pjesmama (Pj 4,1 -17) i iz knjige Mudrih izreka (Izr 31,10 -31) predstavljaju nam dva pogleda dvojice svetopisaca na ženu i njezine karakteristike koje bi trebale biti vrijedne divljenja i poštovanja. Izabrani tekstovi unutar teološko -antropološke interpretacije i potvrđeni egzegetskim tumačenjima na jedan poseban način predstavljaju sukladnost čovjekove složene naravi u planu Mudrosti stvaranja i dovršenja stvorenoga. Zaručnica i žena predstavljene u Pjesmi nad pjesmama i knjizi Mudrih izreka otkrivaju čovjeka koji neće biti obnovljen tek u svojem moralnom integritetu ili tek u svojoj duhovnoj stvarnosti po kojoj ima mogućnost odnosa s Bogom, već će, jer je i ona dio potpune mudrosti po kojoj Bog čini sve, čovjek biti obnovljen u svojoj tjelesnosti. Oba teksta, a posebno onaj iz Pjesme nad pjesmama, bila su objektom različitih i brojnih interpretacija. Uspoređujući ta dva teksta, koja se nerijetko razlikuju u
svojem smislu, ali se upravo zbog toga i nadopunjuju, želimo se u ovom radu usmjeriti razrješavanju međusobnih suprotnosti, koristeći se činjenicom da se suprotnosti također i nadopunjuju i izgrađuju. U tom smislu, uz egzegetska tumačenja navedenih tekstova, želimo uvidjeti kako
su ta dva biblijska pogleda na ženu specifičan način govora o mudrosti.
U konačnici, kroz teološki smisao tumačenja tih tekstova u slikama zaručnice i žene, želja nam je potvrditi činjenicu personifikacije Mudrosti kao ženskog lika u kontekstu starozavjetne literature. Dvije slike: zaručnica i žena, ukoliko idemo dalje od njihova doslovnog značenja, donose mogućnost spoznaje mnogolikosti biblijske Mudrosti, koja je u isto vrijeme imanentna i transcendentna te ostaje posrednicom između Boga i čovjeka. Čovjeka koji traži mudrost kao vrsnu ženu (Tko će
ju naći?), a kada je nađe uspinje se k njoj (usp. Pj 4,6) i divi joj se
jer je bez mane (Pj 4,7b).
»Nauči nas dane naše brojiti da steknemo mudro srce«
Authors: Fužinato Silvana
Published: December 2021

U središtu Ps 90, koji pripada mudrosnoj meditaciji, je čovjekova patnja zbog prolaznosti vremena. Promišljaju i o čovjekovoj prolaznosti u svjetlu Božje vječnosti, psalmist traži smisao svojeg postojanja, mole i Gospodina da ga nauči brojiti svoje dane kako bi stekao mudro srce. Kako brojiti svoje dane i što znači mudro srce? To su pitanja na koja ćemo pokušati odgovoriti u ovom radu. Prvi dio rada posvećen je pitanju autorstva, književnom rodu i strukturi Ps 90 prema kojoj se u drugom dijelu pristupa egzegetsko -teološkoj analizi s posebnim osvrtom na obilježja Božjega i čovjekova lica koja proizlaze iz samog psalma. Posljednji, i za naše istraživanje najznačajniji dio rada, pokušava odgovoriti na uvodna pitanja, definiraju i čovjekovo mudro srce te određuju i neke od njegovih temeljnih značajki kao što su: prihvaćanje vremenitosti, preuzimanje odgovornosti, življenje granica i otkrivanje vrijednosti malenosti.
Pavao - »mudri graditelj« korintske kršćanske zajednice (1 Kor 3,10)
Authors: Zečević Tomislav
Published: December 2021

Ovaj rad nastoji osvijetliti osnivačku ulogu Apostola Pavla kao mudrog graditelja korintske kršćanske zajednice (usp. 1 Kor 3,10) te istaknuti važnost popratnog metaforičkog građevinskog govora kojim se Pavao koristi (usp. 1 Kor 3,10-17). Ta se tema najčešće obrađuje unutar šireg Pavlova govora o razlikovanju spasonosne istinske Božje mudrosti nasuprot isprazne ljudske mudrosti koja vodi u propast (usp. 1 Kor 1-3). Međutim, važno je naglasiti da ovaj rad ne ide u smjeru detaljne analize govora o istinskoj mudrosti, tj. mudrosti s križa, o kojoj je mnogo toga dosad napisano i rečeno, već ima za cilj potaknuti egzegete i biblijske teologe na hrvatskom govornom području na produbljivanje i opširniju obradu govora o Pavlu kao mudrom graditelju. Dakle, riječ je o uvodnoj ili početnoj studiji koja mora biti još poprilično dorađena i popraćena detaljnijom analizom Pavlova graditeljskog rječnika, ne zaobilaze i kontekst govora o mudrosti križa, unutar kojega se ova tematika nalazi. Što se tiče same strukture rada, nakon uvodnih napomena, prvi dio izlaganja razmatra okolnosti u kojima je Pavao djelovao: unutarnju situaciju kršćanske zajednice, društveno gospodarsko okružje grada Korinta, utjecaj svjetovne mudrosti, kao i posljedice svjetovnog obrasca ponašanja na život same zajednice. U drugom dijelu izlaganja u glavnim crtama obrađen je književni kontekst i tematska pozadina govora o Pavlu kao mudrom graditelju (usp. 1 Kor 3,10) u svjetlu govora o Božjoj i svjetskoj mudrosti (usp. Kor 1-3). Uz kratki komentar šireg i bližeg konteksta, naglasak je stavljen na Pavlov temeljni apostolski kriterij djelovanja u skladu s voljom i mudrošću Božjom, koji ujedno otkriva pravu ulogu kršćanskog propovjednika. Treći dio izlaganja donosi komentar 1 Kor 3,10 s osvrtom na važne greške pojmove koji rasvjetljuju Pavlovu osnivačku ulogu te naglaskom način polaganja jedinstvenog temelja Crkve, a to je evanđelje i sama osoba Krista raspetoga, u kojem se očituje Božja mudrost s križa kao jedina istinska mudrost koja vodi u spasenje. Zaključak iznosi na vidjelo činjenicu da bez jedinstvenog temelja Isusa Krista kojeg je Bog položio u vječnosti i Pavao u vremenitom smislu, nema ni jedinstvene Božje zgrade ni Božjeg hrama u Korintu, odnosno nema Crkve.
Mudrost odozgo
Authors: Kljajić Stipo
Published: December 2021

Jakovljeva poslanica na dvama mjestima govori o mudrosti, u 1,5 i 3,3 -18, pri čemu je drugo mjesto svojevrsni traktat o mudrosti, premda je i cijeli taj novozavjetni spis protkan mudrosnim elementima. Autor nastoji, služeći se ponajprije retorikom i semantičkom analizom, istražiti upravo ta dva mjesta Jakovljeve poslanice da bi se rasvijetlilo Jakovljevo poimanje mudrosti, odnosno da bi se približilo odgovorima - to je mudrost za pisca Jakovljeve poslanice, drugim riječima odakle ona, za njega, dolazi, u čemu se sastoji i čemu služi. Stoga prvo poglavlje tematizira mudrost kao Božji dar (Jak 1,5): mudrost je bitno povezana s kušnjama i vjerom, o čemu govori uvodni dio poslanice (1,2 -12), i potrebno ju je od Boga tražiti s vjerom i bez kolebanja (1,5 -8). Premda nije sasvim očita, povezanost između kušnji, postojanosti i savršenosti u vjeri (1,2 -4) i iskanja mudrosti od Boga (1,5 -8) nije samo literarna nego i supstancijalna: kao i u kušnjama i težnji k savršenosti valja ustrajavati, bez kolebanja i dvoumljenja, u iskanju mudrosti od Boga, pri čemu je iskanje u trajnom iskušenju da se (u)misli kako se mudrost već postigla. Komu nedostaje mudrosti, a to je svatko, mora je tražiti od Boga - jedinog izvora istinske mudrosti - i on će mu je, ako ga traži s povjerenjem, odnosno bez dvoumljenja, dati jer Bog »daje svima velikodušno i ne prigovarajući« (1,5). U drugom poglavlju autor analizira Jakovljev traktat o mudrosti (Jak 3,13 -18), odnosno njegovo suptilno diferenciranje mudrosti odozgo i mudrosti odozdo. Kriteriji mudrosti te precizan opis svojstava prave (odozgo) i lažne (odozdo) mudrosti jasno ukazuju na to što je mudrost za Jakova, u čemu se ona sastoji i nadasve čemu služi, odnosno zbog čega je toliko važna za skladan život kršćanske zajednice, tj. za pravednost i mir. U analizi se posebna pozornost posvećuje neobičnim i ponekad nejasnim jezičnim izričajima kojima Jakovljeva poslanica opisuje te dvije međusobno suprotstavljene mudrosti - pri čemu mudrost odozdo i nije prava nego pseudomudrost - u svrhu rasvjetljavanja Jakovljeva govora o mudrosti koji po svojoj važnosti dobrano nadilazi njegovo djelo.
Revisão dos registros da andorinha-do-rio Tachycineta albiventer (Aves: Hirundinidae) para a Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, sudeste do Brasil

A família Hirundinidae apresenta uma ampla distribuição ao redor do mundo, com táxons exclusivos de algumas regiões, como a andorinha-do-rio (Tachycineta alviventer), endêmica da América do Sul e Caribe. Essa espécie ocorre em todo o Brasil, incluindo o estado de São Paulo, mas sua presença na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP), onde se encontra a maior área urbana da América do Sul, ainda não foi detectada. Com base neste cenário, apresentamos uma revisão dos registros históricos e a primeira detecção de campo documentada dessa espécie para a RMSP. Foram consultados dados da literatura, museus de história natural e plataformas ornitológicas online, sendo possível obter apenas seis registros históricos, produzidos entre 1999 e 2015. O registro documentado de campo foi feito em junho de 2021, no Parque Ecológico do Tietê, na área urbana da cidade de São Paulo. O baixo número de registros de T. albiventer para a RMSP (7) mostram se tratar de uma espécie incomum, que vem utilizando reservatórios hídricos artificiais ocasionalmente nos últimos 22 anos. Essa presença ocasional pode estar relacionada a ausência de rios de médio e grande porte na RMSP e no seu entorno direto, sendo um comportamento diferente de outras espécies de andorinhas que ocupam o mesmo tipo de habitat. Essa questão merece uma investigação mais ampla e os ambientes úmidos da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo precisam de uma proteção legal emergencial, pois apresentam uma alta riqueza de espécies de aves.

Sessenta anos do Programa Mundial de Alimentos: Uma análise histórica da política de assistência alimentar internacional
Authors: Dias Atos , Santana Jenifer Queila
Published: December 2021

Quais são as continuidades e mudanças na política de assistência alimentar internacional do Programa Mundial de Alimentos (PMA) (1961-2021)? À luz da Teoria dos Regimes Alimentares e a partir de uma análise histórica – com base em uma revisão de literatura e análises documental e de dados descritivos –, o artigo examina o processo de criação e mudanças político-institucionais da assistência alimentar internacional nos 60 anos do PMA sob a ótica da disputa entre duas frentes: a) os interesses geopolítico e econômico dos seus principais financiadores – com ênfase nos Estados Unidos; b) e a tentativa de multilateralizar a base de financiamento, bem como impulsionar a agenda do desenvolvimento e da promoção da assistência humanitária para o combate à fome. Os resultados demonstram que, apesar dos esforços históricos em promover objetivos humanitários/desenvolvimentistas e ampliar a base doadora do PMA, a ingerência dos EUA e demais países desenvolvidos como financiadores indispensáveis para o funcionamento da instituição contribui para que a agenda da doação de alimentos voltada a interesses econômicos e geopolíticos se mantenha.Palavras-Chave: Assistência Alimentar Internacional; Cooperação Internacional; Programa Mundial de Alimentos.
Argentina e Brasil no alinhamento das práticas de xenofobia: uma investigação dos governos Macri e Bolsonaro
Authors: Culpi Ludmila Andrzejewski , Mèrcher Leonardo , Pereira Alexsandro Eugênio
Published: December 2021

A imigração tem recebido a atenção da mídia e dos analistas internacionais nas últimas décadas. Contudo, na acolhida dos imigrantes, o que se observa é uma intensificação do discurso xenofóbico e das práticas de controle das entradas dos imigrantes por parte de governos nacionais. Dessa forma, o presente artigo busca investigar a acepção da xenofobia na Argentina e no Brasil, bem como sua presença em discursos que tiveram uma guinada à direita a partir da entrada de Maurício Macri, 2015, e de Jair Bolsonaro, 2019, nos governos nacionais. Busca-se analisar os discursos desses presidentes e as ações políticas voltadas aos imigrantes com o intuito de averiguar se existe um caráter xenofóbico e quais seriam suas práticas de resistência ao estrangeiro, a partir de valores recorrentes. A análise concluiu que a xenofobia está presente em ambos os governos, reproduzindo valores de assimilacionismo, perigos e custos ao Estado. Como resultados secundários observa-se o alinhamento de valores e práticas entre os governos de Macri e de Bolsonaro no tema, bem como sintonia com outros líderes políticos estrangeiros, como Donald Trump dos EUA.Palavras-Chave: Imigração; Xenofobia; Argentina; Brasil.

Este estudo concentra-se em mapear a produção internacional sobre o comportamento dos custos, por meio de uma revisão sistemática, identificando lacunas, casos práticos e interfaces. Para a construção dos resultados da análise, utilizou-se uma abordagem bibliométrica, com informações obtidas na base de periódicos da Web of Science, onde se obteve o registro de 37 trabalhos que abordam a referida temática nas áreas de negócios. Com os resultados da pesquisa foi possível identificar, onze lacunas dos estudos apresentados, trazendo apontamentos para o desenvolvimento de trabalhos futuros, ou seja, perspectivas para a continuidade de pesquisas que envolvam o comportamento dos custos. Além destes, foram evidenciados ainda casos práticos envolvendo o comportamento de custos, onde a maioria corresponde a estudos focados no setor industrial. Ainda foram identificadas áreas de interface, sendo estas, áreas que se relacionaram com a temática comportamento de custos ao longo das pesquisas, dentre os temas que se relacionou com comportamento de custos, têm-se finanças comportamentais, marketing, saúde, logística, agronegócio e comportamento organizacional como as áreas com maior predominância de trabalhos relacionados ao filtro de pesquisa, pode-se inferir que o comportamento de custos, relaciona-se com as mais variadas áreas de conhecimento, o que possibilita um leque vasto para publicações. Como limitação deste estudo está o recorte temporal, pois apenas foi averiguado os últimos 10 anos.

Authors: Santos Acácia Aparecida Angeli dos , Inácio Amanda Lays Monteiro
Published: December 2021

As crenças de autoeficácia docente possuem expressiva importância no contexto educacional, pois influenciam tanto nos aspectos ocupacionais do profissional, quanto na qualidade do ensino ofertado. Objetivou- realizar uma revisão da literatura acerca dos instrumentos utilizados para mensuração das crenças de autoeficácia docente e identificar os construtos relacionados ao estudo desta temática. Das 111 pesquisas recuperadas nas bases PePSIC, SciELO e ERIC foram incluídas na revisão as 20 que se aplicavam aos critérios de elegibilidade. Os resultados evidenciaram uma diversidade de instrumentos tanto nacionais, quanto estrangeiros. A análise indicou um aumento nas pesquisas entre 2009 e 2018, bem como uma preponderância em periódicos voltados para a educação. Houve predomínio de estudos relacionados às crenças de autoeficácia e o uso de tecnologias em sala de aula, educação inclusiva e de saúde do profissional de docência. As implicações dos achados são discutidas, considerando a relevância dos instrumentos psicológicos para avaliação das crenças de autoeficácia docente.
Avaliação neuropsicológica: aspectos estatísticos da relação entre percentil e classificação
Authors: Anunciação Luis , Portugal Anna Carolina , Landeira-Fernandez J.
Published: December 2021

A avaliação neuropsicológica é um procedimento fundamental na avaliação clínica de pacientes e uma de suas finalidades é a de mapear aspectos amplos do perfil psicológico e comportamental do avaliado em busca de possíveis disfunções que sirvam para auxílio diagnóstico em saúde mental. Seus resultados devem ser apresentados tanto por um formato quantitativo quanto por uma interpretação clínica. A interface entre esses dois aspectos irá permitir uma comunicação efetiva entre profissionais, além de guiar estratégias de intervenção. Testes psicológicos e outros instrumentos são amplamente utilizados nos procedimentos avaliativos, mas há baixo consenso na interface entre intervalos percentis e categorias de classificação. Essa condição é claramente crítica à área é ainda é agravada no Brasil, em que testes psicológicos desenvolvidos para ambientes de seleção profissional e obtenção de Carteira Nacional de Habilitação são usados por neuropsicólogos. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho revisita conceitos fundamentais em Estatística e Psicometria associados à Neuropsicologia e apresenta uma proposta de classificação.
