The Sermon as Discursive Frame for the Nazi Past: Preaching about the German History Exhibition Neue Anfänge nach 1945?
Authors: Paver Chloe
Published: January 2024

When the history exhibition Neue Anfänge nach 1945? about the transition from National Socialism to democracy toured Lutheran churches in northern Germany in the 2010s, preachers were invited to address it in their Sunday sermons. Like the speeches regularly given by civic dignitaries at German history museums, the sermons drew on democratic traditions of speaking about National Socialism. They also drew on Lutheran discursive traditions: Bible exegesis, homiletics, theology. This article considers how preachers combine a professional knowledge of what should be said about National Socialism with their pastoral role. The German family emerges as a key—but limiting—trope in discussion of the Nazi past in the church setting.
A experiência didático-pedagógica da produção de um projeto e de um plano de aula para a Geografia
Authors: Santos Felipe
Published: January 2024

Contexto: O planejamento é fundamental para o estabelecimento dos conteúdos e aplicação destes no contexto escolar. Sem uma organização prévia, o professor não conseguirá transmitir seus assuntos de forma a contemplar o ensino-aprendizagem dos seus alunos. Assim sendo, é necessário que os professores tenham contato com materiais que possam contribuir para o desenvolvimento profissional deles, como o uso com o planejamento pode ofertar na construção disciplinar. Metodologia: Apresentaremos uma proposta didático-pedagógica aplicada no âmbito do curso de licenciatura em Geografia da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia – Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCT/UNESP) Campus de Presidente Prudente/SP que visou estimular os futuros professores para o uso do planejamento como metodologia no cotidiano escolar, mediante duas atividades práticas avaliativas. Uma delas é um instrumento comum utilizado pelos professores e responsável pela organização das atividades em sala de aula; o outro é uma descrição imersiva deste último com o objetivo de compreender as intencionalidades existentes no material construído. A partir delas, foi possível observar como os futuros professores articulariam o conteúdo ministrado voltado à compreensão da relevância do planejamento como elemento para sua ação e formação docente, o material que seria apresentado para as turmas e como avaliariam os materiais produzidos pelos colegas, estimulando também a visão analítica deles.  Considerações: Os resultados apresentaram uma pluralidade de metodologias e procedimentos que evidenciaram como o planejamento é fundamental para o professor não só no seu cotidiano docente, mas principalmente, em sua formação inicial.
Türkiye’de İş-Yaşam Dengesini Sağlamaya Yönelik “İzin Politikalarının” “İş Kanunu” ve “Devlet Memurları Kanunu” Perspektifinde İncelenmesi
Authors: Altunok Bahar
Published: January 2024

İş yaşam dengesi; çalışanlar için yaşamın bileşenleri olan çalışma hayatında, bireysel hayatında ve aile hayatında dengeyi kurabilmesi demektir. Denge; bir nevi iyilik halidir ve bu iyilik halini sağlayabilen bireyler; hem bireysel hayatına hem aile hayatına hem de çalışma hayatına pozitif katkı sağlayabilmektedir. Çünkü denge; sağlık, mutluluk ve genel yaşam kalitesi açısından önemli bir faktördür. Ancak; günümüzde teknoloji alanında yaşanan gelişmeler, çalışma hayatında yaşanan değişimler ve bireylerin yaşam tarzlarında görülen dönüşümler çalışanların bu dengeyi kurabilmesini zorlaştırmaktadır. Buna paralel olarak da iş-yaşam dengesini sağlamakta zorluk yaşayan bireylerin çalışma hayatı ve özel hayatı olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışanların iyilik halleri için iş-yaşam dengesini sağlayabilmeleri bir zorunluluk olmakla birlikte; bu bireylerin iş-yaşam dengesini sağlayabilmesine yönelik devlet tarafından yasal düzenlemeler ile geliştirilen politikalarca desteklenmesi ayrıca önem arz etmektedir. Günümüz çalışma hayatında önemli bir yere sahip olan iş-yaşam dengesi, bu çalışmada Türkiye özelinde “izin politikaları” perspektifinde incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda iş-yaşam dengesini sağlamaya yönelik politikaların işçi ve memur statüsünde çalışanlar arasında yasal hak olarak tanınan izin süreleri bakımından eşit olmadığı, bunun yanı sıra iş-yaşam dengesine yönelik politikaların spesifik olarak aile-yaşam dengesinin sağlanmasına yönelik olduğu, ancak haftalık izin ve yıllık izin sürelerinin cinsiyetsiz ve tüm çalışanları kapsayan nitelikte uygulamalar olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Algunos fundamentos teóricos que orientan el aprendizaje de la escritura de textos
Authors: Arias-Mollocana Miryam Catalina
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo analiza algunos fundamentos teóricos del aprendizaje de la escritura de textos, dado que, se materializa a través de signos y símbolos que permiten comunicar las ideas, pensamientos, experiencias y demás posibilidades subjetivas del ser humano. La escritura es una habilidad de fundamental importancia en el aprendizaje, así como en las distintas interacciones que se establecen en la sociedad. En el momento que el sujeto escribe; analiza, reflexiona, comprende, contextualiza, memoriza y evoca información y conocimientos relacionados con las situaciones objeto de estudio, por tanto, aprende y aplica los conocimientos en situaciones diversas. Los fundamentos teóricos brindan principios, valores y más orientaciones sobre el modo de abordar el proceso de enseñanza para promover el aprendizaje de la escritura y garantizar la construcción critico-reflexiva de conocimientos. La idea tradicional de que el aprendizaje de la escritura se centra únicamente en dibujar grafías, debe ser ineludiblemente superada por nuevos enfoques. Pues saber escribir es una tarea que requiere de mucha atención, ya que el autor, en este proceso, interactúa con el mundo que le rodea para poder expresar las ideas de manera objetiva. Razón por la que, el aprendizaje de esta habilidad sólo puede ocurrir en la interacción social, mediante actividades que posean sentido y significado para el aprendiz. En esa línea de pensamiento, se abordan fundamentos filosóficos, sociológicos, psicológicos y pedagógicos y didácticos, dado que resulta altamente influyente en los procesos cognitivos que realiza el sujeto para la construcción de textos coherentes con realidad que se intenta comunicar.
participación política de la mujer y la paridad de género
Authors: Guerrero-Vela Brenda Viviana
Published: January 2024

En esta investigación se analiza la participación de la mujer en los procesos políticos a nivel global, mundial, regional y nacional. De manera especial, se consideran como caso de estudio, las elecciones para decanos en la Universidad Central del Ecuador. Aunque, existen varios estudios al respecto, la característica del presente artículo es responder a la pregunta: ¿Cuáles son los factores que inciden para que las mujeres accedan a espacios de poder y toma de decisiones a nivel nacional y, para, que la participación se dé de forma inclusiva, equitativa en los cargos de representación política?  La política no va acorde a los avances legislativos, no son únicamente procesos electorales, elecciones universales, nacionales y seccionales; sino también este fenómeno se extiende a la esfera de los cargos en el ámbito educativo, en lo público y privado, y otros. Sobre todo, en los cargos de alta jerarquía, puesto que, pese a los avances normativos constitucionales, electorales y de derechos humanos, el problema se visibiliza en los índices de participación en relación a la participación del electorado masculino, por tanto, el porcentaje de participación entre hombres y mujeres es desigual a nivel de los Estados y de la comunidad internacional. Este fenómeno principalmente obedece a estructuras patriarcales, que provocan desigualdad en el acceso a las formas de participación de los Estados soberanos, libres y democráticos, donde los escenarios para las mujeres son de permanente exclusión dentro del ejercicio de sus derechos políticos y ciudadanos en torno a la política y la democracia con fundamento establecido en el marco constitucional.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) or light treatment is a procedure to treat certain types of diseases that uses a photosensitizer (PS) which upon light activation produces cytotoxic oxygen species destroying tumor cells. PDT is minimally-invasive and can be repeated a few times without accumulating significant toxicity in the surrounding tissues. While PDT application in cancer treatment is well established and widely recognized by the scientific community, and its use in the fight against microbial infection is gaining momentum with the rapid increase in antimicrobial multi-drug resistance, its use in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases is clearly marginal. This mini-review presents a brief historical background of PDT, photo-activatable agents utilized, mechanism of photodynamic action, studies in vitro and in vivo, clinical trials, limitations and future prospects of its application in various types of cancer, infections caused by pathogens such as COVID-19, and heart diseases.

Amiodarone is a complex drug for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs). Amiodarone can cause a lot of side effects, including pulmonary toxicity, exacerbation of arrhythmia, hyper and hypothyroidism, and hepatic failure. Amiodarone can also cause neurological symptoms, such as tremors, poor coordination, balance disturbances, dizziness, myoclonic jerks, myopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. Amiodarone could cause delirium, depression, insomnia, agitation, confusion, and fatigue. In some cases, patients may experience sensory disturbances, such as visual or auditory hallucinations. A case report of a patient developing delirium after starting amiodarone and improved after discontinuing amiodarone. The exact mechanism of this side effect is not fully understood. In the care of patients receiving amiodarone, the patients should be closely monitored for signs of delirium, particularly with higher doses, new onset of symptoms after drug initiation, and longer treatment durations. Prompt recognition and management of amiodarone-induced delirium are essential to prevent complications and ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Purpose: Thyroiditis refers to a set of inflammatory disorders involving the destruction of normal thyroid follicular tissue. Each disorder has distinctive histology and pathology. Understanding each condition in the thyroiditis frame is crucial for physicians. Main: This review categorizes thyroiditis into two groups based on the presence or absence of tenderness: painful and painless. This paper reviews the primary etiologies, diagnostic modalities, and treatment options for each condition. The painful thyroiditis comprises subacute, infectious, radiation, trauma-induced thyroiditis, and rarely Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The painless group consists of subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, drug-induced thyroiditis, and fibrous thyroiditis. Findings: In the painful group, the primary etiology of subacute thyroiditis is viral, including SARS-CoV- 2, which has been reported recently, and the main etiology of the infectious subgroup is bacterial infections. Symptom management and pain relief are the mainstays of treatment for painful conditions. The painless group typically progresses from transient hyperthyroidism to euthyroidism to hypothyroidism before resolving. Autoimmune and genetics, HLA-DR3, likely contribute to subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis. Certain medications, including interferon-alpha (HVC management), IL2 Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (cancer management), amiodarone, lithium, and check-point inhibitor immunotherapy (CTLA-4 and PCD-1) are found to be related to thyroiditis. Fibrous thyroiditis is usually associated with systemic fibrous disease. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of each thyroiditis condition’s etiology and clinical presentation is important to accurately diagnose, appropriately manage, and counsel patients on the risk for permanent hypothyroidism that may require long-term thyroid replacement therapy

MANAJEMEN PENDIDIKAN HUBUNGAN MASYARAKAT BERBASIS HUMANIS MULTIKULTURALIS ABDURRAHMAN WAHID
Authors: Suaidi Al Auny Muhammad , Arrohmatan Arrohmatan
Published: January 2024

Pemikiran multikulturalisme Abdurrahman Wahid berbasis penghargaan dan perlindungan tertinggi terhadap Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Multikulturalisme Abdurrahman Wahid sebagai dasar dan esensi pembebasan tanpa dasar apapun, kecuali manusia itu sendiri. Pemikiran multikulturalisme Abdurrahman Wahid berusaha menempatkan Islam sebagai etika sosial dan penghargaan terhadap nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Nilai-nilai tersebut terangkum dalam maqashid assyari'ah, yang di dalamnya mencakup lima hak dasar manusia (al-kulliyat alkhams). Sedangkan relevansi pemikiran multikulturalisme Abdurrahman Wahid dilihat dari kesamaan perlakuan untuk mendapatkan pengakuan atau dihargai eksistensinya, persamaan memiliki kesempatan, dan perlakuan yang sama di depan hukum, tanpa memandang budaya, ras, etnis, jenis kelamin, dan agama. Persamaan ini juga diikuti dengan rasa kepekaan terhadap budaya yang masih bersifat imperial dan menggerakkan budaya kelompok yang bersifat imperial tersebut untuk memiliki perasaan dan sikap yang sama dengan kelompok atau budaya lain, sehingga persamaan menjadi sesuatu yang niscaya dimiliki.
Experiências e memórias de professores com a escrita: marcas e implicações na prática pedagógica
Authors: Assolini Filomena Elaine Paiva , Bartholomeu Josiane de Paula
Published: January 2024

Temos a pretensão de discutir e analisar, neste texto, a relação de sujeitos-professores com a sua escrita na fase escolar, e se essa relação anterior – conflituosa ou não – ecoa nos dizeres e fazeres de sua prática pedagógica. O arcabouço teórico-metodológico que sustenta nossa pesquisa está centrado na Análise de Discurso de matriz francesa, postulada por Michel Pêcheux (1995, 1997, 2000) e, dado o objeto, dialogamos com a Teoria Sócio-Histórica do Letramento em que encontramos fundamentos sobre a autoria e nas Ciências da Educação em que nos dedicamos a refletir sobre pesquisas que envolvem a educação escolar, as práticas pedagógicas, a formação inicial e continuada e a identidade de docente. Todos esses saberes são atrelados e articulados pela Psicanálise freudo-lacaniana, que entende que trabalhamos não com indivíduos, mas com sujeitos desejantes, constituídos pela falta, pelo (O)outro e controlados pelo inconsciente. Esses referenciais possibilitam discutir e analisar as problemáticas que envolvem o discurso, a escrita, a interpretação, o sujeito, a memória e suas práticas.
Doações eleitorais compram influência? Impactos da proibição de doações empresariais em campanhas eleitorais brasileiras
Authors: Nunes Marcus Vinicius da Silva , Barros Lucas Ayres Barreira de Campos
Published: January 2024

Investiga-se o impacto inicial da proibição de doações empresariais para campanhas políticas sobre o valor de mercado de empresas de capital aberto no Brasil e sobre seu acesso a financiamentos via BNDES. Durante o período abrangendo o ajuizamento do pedido no Supremo Tribunal Federal o retorno médio das empresas foi negativo, porém menos negativo para aquelas que doaram mais recursos para candidaturas vencedoras ou para candidaturas da base governista. Ademais, empresas doadoras tendiam a receber maior volume de financiamentos do BNDES e a proibição das doações empresariais não alterou substancialmente esta assimetria. Os resultados sugerem que conexões políticas por doações corporativas podem trazer benefícios duradouros para as empresas. Esta evidência informa o debate sobre modelos de financiamento de campanhas políticas e sobre o relacionamento entre agentes políticos e corporações.
Being and Becoming Good in Plato's Protagoras
Authors: Reese Brian
Published: January 2024

At the heart of Plato's Protagoras is a lengthy interlude in which Socrates is compelled to offer an interpretation of a poem by Simonides (334c5–49a4). Protagoras, a notable sophist, challenges Socrates to explain away an alleged inconsistency: Simonides claims that it is hard for someone to become good or virtuous but then criticizes another poet for saying what seems to be the same thing (339d1). In taking up this challenge, Socrates offers a protracted exegesis of the poem. While this so-called “poetic interlude” has long attracted the attention of commentators, I uncover new and important ways in which it is connected to broader Platonic arguments and themes. I begin by marking a threefold distinction between ignorance, competence, and expertise, which both Protagoras and Socrates seem to utilize, but which has not been noted in the literature. I argue that this distinction helps to explain why Socrates is concerned to distinguish “being” good from “becoming” good in his own exegesis of the poem. I also argue that it helps to explain the significance of the preamble Socrates offers to his own interpretation (342a6–43c7) since it reveals the kind of knowledge that he believes is required for “being” good or virtuous. The dialogue concludes with an explicit dilemma about virtue, but the resources I uncover allow for a satisfying resolution to it.
Antigrafo e varianti d'autore: osservazioni dalle carte d'archivio di Elio Vittorini
Authors: Brigatti Virna
Published: January 2024

Obiettivo di questo intervento è presentare quello che ormai si definisce abitualmente un ‘caso di studio’, scelto tra le carte dell’Archivio personale di Elio Vittorini, conservato presso il Centro APICE dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, dove sono conservati alcuni documenti che senza dubbio alcuno possono essere considerati i materiali che sono stati consegnati in tipografia per la composizione dei volumi a stampa di alcune opere dell’autore. Inoltre, sono conservati anche altri documenti che si pongono in diretta relazione con questo preciso momento del lavoro sul testo letterario, cioè appunto le fasi che precedono il ‘visto si stampi’. L’osservazione di queste carte consente di misurare empiricamente alcune definizioni di antigrafo, ricavandone considerazioni utili per potere sostenere la loro efficacia in termini non tanto descrittivi, quanto piuttosto interpretativi, quando è possibile introdurre di fronte ai documenti conservati una lettura che si inserisca nel quadro della critica delle varianti e della filologia d’autore.
La Commissione antimafia dall’XI Legislatura ad oggi: risultati e criticità
Authors: Canovi Daniele
Published: January 2024

Partendo dalla consapevolezza che l’immensa mole di conoscenza prodotta dalle varie Commissioni parlamentari antimafia succedutesi nel corso del tempo sia rimasta per molti aspetti inesplorata, si è voluto tentare di sistematizzare le conoscenze acquisite dalle Commissioni dal 1992 ad oggi, cercando di evidenziare i traguardi e i picchi di efficienza raggiunti lungo il percorso, nonché le maggiori criticità riscontrate.
UNVEILING GENETIC THREADS: PHENOTYPIC EXPLORATION OF CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.) GERMPLASMS FOR HERITABILITY AND TRAIT ASSOCIATIONS
Authors: KALYAR MHM , KALYAR MNN , ULLAH MA , SHAH KD
Published: January 2024

The second most important self-pollinating legume crop in the world is the chickpea. Chickpea is an inexpensive source of protein that grows well in various climates. The current study aimed to evaluate the genetic advance and heritability of different characters at the seedling stage by analyzing their phenotypic attributes. During the 2022–2023 growing season, a randomized complete block design experiment was set up in the University of the Punjab's field area. The experiment included five different germplasms. At the seedling stage, data from seven morphological parameters were collected. ANOVA and correlation were performed using Statistix software. Seedling length, root length, and root-shoot ratio have shown low genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV), indicating a high environmental effect on these traits. Root length and leaf width had shown a strong correlation with seedling length. Path coefficient analysis directly affected root length and leaf width towards seedling length.  Low genetic advance and high heritability were observed in root length, seedling length and root-shoot ratio, meaning selection should be delayed for one or more generations for such traits. Leaf width and leaf area have shown high heritability and genetic advance, suggesting that selecting such characters may lead to superior variety development based on phenotype.
