The Efficacy of Using Translation Process Research Tools in Developing Students’ Translation Competence
Authors: Almofadhi Maryam
Published: September 2023

This study investigates the efficacy of using methods traditionally used in translation process research for teaching purposes, namely the use of screen recordings of the process of translation to stimulate reflection and increase awareness of the process of translation amongst students. The aim is to determine whether exposing students to the process of translation has any effect on their translational performance in terms of the acceptability of their translations and their ability to reflect on the translation process. 34 students enrolled in the BA of Translation program at PNU were recruited for this study. The students were randomly assigned to either a control or experimental group of 17 students each. The research used a post-translation test as well as open-ended questions to compare the results of the two groups. The acceptability of the translations was judged against the acceptability criteria of the PACTE research project (2017). Reflections were assessed using an adapted scheme based on Kemper et al. (2008), and Bain et al. (1999). Students in the experimental group significantly outperformed the control in the reflection category in both the amount and level of reflections provided. However, the differences between the two groups were less marked with regards to translation acceptability although the experimental group still performed slightly better than the control. The study finds that the use of process research tools is a viable tool to stimulate reflection in translation students although their effect on translation performance might take longer to develop.

From Erasmus to Maius
Authors:   , Yi An-Ting
Published: September 2023

The famous Codex Vaticanus (Vat. gr. 1209 in the Vatican Library) is currently regarded as one of the most essential sources for reconstructing the Greek text of the New Testament. Although it had already been used by textual critics from the sixteenth century onward, the manuscript only rose to the prominent status it now holds in the course of the nineteenth century. This PhD thesis writes the scholarly history of Codex Vaticanus, beginning from Desiderius Erasmus (1466–1536) and his Greek New Testament editions until the editio princeps of this manuscript prepared by Cardinal Angelus Maius (1782–1854). In this time-period that spans 350 years, perceptions of this manuscript changed profoundly. For a long time it had been seen as an inferior witness, useless for making the Greek New Testament edition. However, scholars gradually discovered its value and importance, and their appreciation eventually led to the consensus that considers its text as foundational for the Modern Critical Text, the basis for many contemporary vernacular translations of the New Testament.
By examining critical editions, analysing monographs and articles, considering book reviews and pamphlets, and delving into archive collections, the present study delineates the stages of the manuscript’s progression from an ancient manuscript held at the Vatican Library to its designation as the ‘Codex Vaticanus’. It is a study of the many individuals and their stories surrounding this very manuscript, stories about accessibility and the dissemination of knowledge, authority and head-on collisions between the most learned critics, and of continuity and changing paradigms in scholarship. All in all, this thesis sets out how Codex Vaticanus became the manuscript par excellence in the history of New Testament textual scholarship.

The Eocene Zygodactyl Birds of North America (Aves: Piciformes)
Authors: Feduccia Alan , Martin Larry D.
Published: September 2023

Recent discoveries of zygodactyl birds in the Eocene of Wyoming, along with reinterpretation of previously described taxa, show that these forms belong to an extinct family, affiliated with the Bucconidae, for which we here propose the name Primobucconidae. The genera Primobucco, Neanis, Uintornis, Botauroides, and a new genus, Eobucco, are assigned to this family, and three new species, Primobucco olsoni, Uintornis marionae, and Eobucco brodkorbi are described. Primobucconids appear to have been the dominant small perching birds of the Eocene of North America.
A New Species of Flightless Auk from the Miocene of California (Alcidae: Mancallinae)
Authors: Howard Hildegarde
Published: September 2023

Praemancalla wetmorei is described from the late Miocene of Orange County, California, with humerus and ulna as holotype and paratype, and radius, carpometacarpus, and coracoid referred. The species, although less specialized as a flightless diver than the geologically younger genus Mancalla, appears to be more advanced then Praemancalla lagunensis, which is believed to be derived from slightly older deposits.
A Survey of the Paleogene Birds of Asia
Authors: Kurochkin E. N. (Evgenii Nikolaevich)
Published: September 2023

In the past few years, much new material of Paleogene birds has been collected in Mongolia and\nKazakhstan, the fossil collections now comprising 350 satisfactory specimens of postcranial elements. The first Paleocene birds known from Asia were obtained in Mongolia, where remains referable to several avian orders were recovered. Fossils from a new middle Eocene site at Khaichin Ula 2, also situated in the South Gobi of Mongolia, were identified as various waterbirds and galliforms. A variety of birds is represented in early Oligocene material from Mongolia and a wealth of new avian material of middle Oligocene age has been obtained from the so-called Indricotherium beds of Central Kazakhstan. Paleoecological conditions in the Asian Paleogene are assessed on the basis of avian fossils, and the sketchy picture of the possible interrelationships of Paleogene birds from Asia, Europe, and North America is outlined. Abundant new fossil material has made possible a deeper insight into the composition, characteristics, and relationships of the gruiform families Eogruidae and Ergilornithidae, and proves the existence of a phylogenetic continuity between the Eocene genus Eogrus, the Oligocene genera Ergilornis and Proergilornis, and the Pliocene genus Urmiornis. A fragment of humerus assigned to the Ergilornithidae shows that these birds were flightless.
Pollen Analysis of the Peat Member from the Lee Creek Mine
Authors: Whitehead Donald R.
Published: September 2023

A pollen analytical study of the peat horizon exposed in the Lee Creek phosphate mine indicates that it was deposited in a freshwater environment during interglacial time (probably Sangamon). The freshwater nature of the deposit is suggested by the high percentage of sedge and grass pollen; the presence of Potamogeton , Brasenia, Nuphar, Mynophyllum scabratum, M. heterophyllum, Pontedena, Sagittana, Nymphaea , Typha-Sparganium, and Isoetes ; the occurrence of Botryococcus, Pediastrum boryanum , and Tetraedron ; the low percentage of chenopod-amaranth pollen; and the absence of brackish indicators, such as Ruppia and Iva. The interglacial age (rather than interstadial) is suggested by the general absence of “boreal indicators,” the similarity of the tree pollen frequencies to those from interglacial deposits both to the north and south, and the general similarity of the fossil spectrum to modern pollen assemblages from eastern North Carolina.

Authors: Gibson Thomas G.
Published: September 2023

Biostratigraphically important planktonic and benthic foraminiferal species from strata of late Oligocene to early Pleistocene age in the central Atlantic Coastal Plain are described and illustrated. Thirty planktonic species are used, in conjunction with a few radiometric ages, to date the strata. The ages derived are: “Silverdale” beds of latest Oligocene age; Pungo River and Calvert formations of late early to early middle Miocene age; Choptank Formation of middle middle Miocene age; St. Marys Formation of late middle to early late Miocene age; “Virginia St. Marys” beds of late Miocene age; Yorktown Formation of early to late(?) Pliocene age; and uppermost “Yorktown,” Croatan, and Waccamaw formations of late Pliocene and early Pleistocene age. Thirty-seven species and subspecies of benthic Foraminifera important for regional correlation are described, and ranges are given for this area. New species described are Bolivina pungoensis, Bolivinopsis fairhavenensis, Epistominella pungoensis, Cibicides cravenensis, C. croatanensis, C. pungoensis, Svratkina croatanensis, Nonion calvertensis, Florilus chesapeakensis, and Elphidium neocrespinae.

Plates for Joseph Asaph Allen’s Unpublished Monograph on the Mammalian Orders Cete and Sirenia and a Record of the Search for the Manuscript
Authors: Mead James G. , Dagit Rosemary G.
Published: September 2023

In 1882 Joel Asaph Allen published his “Preliminary List of Works and Papers Relating to the Mammalian Orders Cete and Sirenia” as a Bulletin of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories. That list, consisting of 1013 bibliographic records in chronological order from 1495 to 1840, was said to be one-third of the actual bibliography of a monograph on cetacean and sirenians on which Allen was working. Extensive archival searching has produced only the unpublished plates of the work. We have concluded that the monograph does not reside in any of the logical archival repositories.
Bison antiquus from Kenora, Ontario, and Notes on the Evolution of North American Holocene Bison
Authors: McDonald Jerry N. , Lammers George E.
Published: September 2023

An associated skeleton of an adult male Bison antiquus occidentalis from Kenora, Ontario, is radiocarbon dated at 4270±65 yrs BP, making it the youngest unequivocal record for the species. It also extends the range 280 km north and 65 km east of the previously documented limits for the genus in the western Great Lakes area. The Kenora bison died in a shallow pond in an oak-pine woodland; it was experiencing nutritional stress at the time of its death. Both halves of the mandible had been fractured by trauma earlier in life. A review of morphological change in bison during the Holocene shows that later bison, Bison bison, were absolutely smaller, had absolutely shorter limbs, and had more robust upper limbs and more gracile lower limbs, relative to length, than did the earlier bison, Bison antiquus. Compared with that of Bison antiquus, the thoracic limb of Bison bison became elongated relative to the pelvic limb, and limb length increased relative to skull size. Relative to the norm in Bison antiquus, these traits diverged further in the wood bison. Bison bison athabascae, than in the plains bison, Bison bison bison. The patterns of pelage development and social behavior in Bison bison bison, however, are more distant from parallel patterns postulated for Bison antiquus antiquus than are patterns of pelage development and social behavior in Bison bison athabascae.
Attention-based deep learning model to improving multi-criteria decision-making for customer loyalty
Authors: Bayat Mahtab , Bayat Nadia , Honari Somaye
Published: September 2023

Understanding the factors that influence product loyalty is crucial for businesses to effectively attract and retain customers. This study suggests a novel approach to assess the importance and weight of criteria that lead to product loyalty by considering the Halo effect in customer decision-making. The suggested method utilizes an attention-based deep learning model to analyze customer feedback collected through the Net Promoter Score (NPS) scale, incorporating the insights of a large number of customers. The proposed method overcomes the limitations of traditional methods that rely on expert judgments or data mining, providing a more comprehensive and customer-centric perspective. By considering the Halo effect, which can lead to biased perceptions of product features, the method offers a more accurate assessment of criteria weights and their impact on product loyalty. A case study focusing on mobile phone selection and loyalty is conducted to explain the applicability and efficiency of the suggested method. The outcomes are compared with the NPS index and several common multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques. The findings highlight the superiority of the suggested method in capturing the complex relationships between criteria and product loyalty, surpassing the limitations of expert-based approaches and outperforming traditional MCDM methods. The suggested technique provides valuable insights for companies seeking to enhance customer loyalty and optimize product development strategies. However, it is important to acknowledge limitations related to the reliance on customer feedback and the contextual specificity of the results.
Factors associated with delayed antenatal care attendance in Malawi: results from a qualitative study
Authors: Taylor L Manda , Sealy D-A , Roberts J
Published: September 2023

Background: Antenatal care has been identified as pivotal to improving maternal and child health in Malawi. Though Malawian women consistently seek antenatal care, they rarely do so during their first trimester. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers to antenatal care uptake among Malawian women. This article adds to the literature by identifying common sociocultural barriers and their impact on ANC attendance.

Methods: Two large tertiary care hospitals in the central and southern regions of Malawi were selected as study sites. Twenty pregnant mothers and eight health workers were recruited and interviewed. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed to identify themes. Posters in health facilities were also analyzed.

Results: Results revealed many contributors to delayed antenatal attendance among Malawian mothers including: attitudes toward pregnancy, hospital inefficiencies, ANC promotion at the health facilities/communities, and spousal/significant other involvement all contributed to delayed antenatal attendance among urban Malawian women.

Conclusions: Incorporating spouses/significant others in  antenatal care activities, providing a consistent message in promotion materials used with the women and addressing the inefficiencies within the health system could be targets to improve early antenatal attendance in Malawi.
Acute poisoning in the community and its associated mortality at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
Authors: Mwanza B , Kanyimba Sindwa N.
Published: September 2023

Background: Acute poisoning is a common event in the community. Despite the high prevalence of acute poisoning in the community, there are very few studies done on the subject in Zambia. Lack of research on acute poisoning has resulted in lack of information on the pattern of poisoning, morbidity, mortality and pitfalls in management.

Methods: A retrospective study of cases of acute poisoning presenting at the University Teaching Hospital during the period 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015 was conducted. A total of 131 case records were reviewed. Demographic information, information on the type of poisoning, presenting clinical features, case management and outcome was extracted from the medical records. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical data. All statistical tests were at 5% significance level. The Pearson's chi squared test was used for comparison of proportions between groups.

Results: Of the 131 cases reviewed, 67 were female (51%). The age group 20-39 years had the highest frequency of poisoning (50%). The majority of cases (59%) occurred in individuals of low socio-economic status. The most frequently taken poisons were organophosphates (38%). Other commonly used agents included household chemicals and medicines. The majority of cases were due to suicide attempt, and there were only 5 cases of accidental poisoning. Of the cases where due to self-poisoning with intent to cause selfharm. The reasons for self-harm behaviour were given in 115 cases, and 71 (62%) of these were due to interpersonal conflicts arising from disharmony in relationships. The rest were due to various psychological disorders including depressive illness. No reason for self-harm was indicated in 16 cases. The majority of cases (86%) recovered without any complications. Mortality rate was 5%.

Conclusion: Most cases of poisoning with the intent of self-harm occur in individuals who are vulnerable to stress. A variety of chemical agents are ingested, with the organophosphates being the group of chemicals taken more often than other groups of chemicals. The majority of cases are intentional with very few poisoning cases being accidental. Most cases have good prognosis and the majority recover without any sequelae. Mortality from acute poisoning cases seen at the University Teaching Hospital is low.
Cross-Sectoral Collaboration in Empowering Pineapple Farmers

Published: September 2023

The pineapple commodity is a local product for some residents in West Java, especially in Sarireja Village. This potential needs special attention to maintain local agricultural products. However, the pineapple fruit yields in the Sarireja area were not able to enter the market optimally due to constraints on yields that were less than optimal. Through the assistance of the Kampung Nanasku corporate social responsibility program by promoting the principle of the Tripple Bottom Line, the Kampung Nanasku program is aimed at strengthening the sustainability of the lives of pineapple farmers. The results of this program have been able to provide empowerment to the community in the form of processed pineapple which has added selling value, utilization of pineapple agricultural waste in the form of pineapple leaves which are also used as natural fiber cloth, pineapple skin waste which is integrated with the needs of breeders namely to become feed silage, and pineapple waste rotten to POC.

Dr Nicholas Fraser (University Museum of Zoology, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ) is anxious to locate any fossil vertebrates from the Cretaceous Cambridge Greensand. During the late nineteenth century the so-called 'coprolite' mining in Cambridgeshire provided the basic material for the world's first chemical fertiliser. A vertebrate fauna recovered through the operations of this open-cast phosphate mining was described by Prof. Harry Govier Seeley in the 1860s. This remarkable fauna includes several pterosaurs, the earliest recorded hadrosaurian remains, an unusual armoured dinosaur, chelonians, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs and early birds. Since Seeley's original studies, very little work has been done and details of existing material are sparse.

Empowering Silent Voices: Women's Journey towards Happiness
Authors: Bedi Amrita , Mahapatra Dr. Mamata
Published: September 2023

Gender roles and their stereotyped behaviour is influenced by various factors, both external and internal, during the course of an individual’s life. But, the identity of being an ideal woman is allegedly triggered by media and marketing. It seems to create an identity benchmark in the society and a pressure in women to comply with these identity standards. Indian concept of ‘woman’ varies across region, religion, class and ethnic group. The foremost identity of woman as wife and mother is fairly unified. It is one in which woman is defined in relation to a man and her capacity to reproduce. This led many of the women to believe that acceptable female roles included only those centered on being a “devoted daughter, nurturing wife, and sacrificing mother” (Dasgupta & Warrier 1996, p. 246). Literature, life and cinema lie at a common interface which is marked by a constant flux of emotions and ideals. In the recent times this flux has become a matter of interest as both literature and cinema are easily accessible and are integral to the contemporary Indian psyche. Many writers worldwide have portrayed the dire need for emancipation of woman. Issues pertaining to women like gender disparity, psychological turbulence, schizophrenic psychosis, existential predicament etc have been highlighted by novelists. It is now media who has taken the responsibility of bringing these issues forcefully to its audience. Media definitely caters to a wide variety of audience and as compared to Literature, has a wider response Aligned to above research based and practiced based view point, the researchers have attempted to carry out an in -depth analysis on the movie ‘PROVOKED”, where the women stand against her Ideal Indian Self and walks towards the happiness with the help of western social support. This conceptual paper explores the unique contribution to traditional qualitative research methodology and urban educational renewal that documentary film can achieve through illumination of issues of social justice and existing inequities in public education.

The Impact of Green Advertising Practices Dimensions on Consumer Green Purchasing Behavior in Food Sector of Afghanistan
Authors: Nasir Amiri Akmal , Sharaf Sharafdin
Published: September 2023

Afghanistan faces pressing environmental issues such as deforestation, pollution, and soil degradation. Limited awareness of eco-friendly practices worsens these problems, necessitating a study on people's attitudes toward the environment. Additionally, Afghanistan is susceptible to climate change's adverse effects, including more frequent floods and droughts. Research can identify effective strategies to combat climate change through green practices, benefiting public health and the economy for a sustainable future.
This research, grounded in the theory of planned behavior, examines the influence of green products and environmental awareness on consumers' eco-friendly purchasing habits. It also explores how environmental concerns impact the relationship between green products, awareness, and purchasing behavior. Statistical tools like regression, correlation, and variance inflation tests were employed to analyze data from 249 respondents using SPSS, confirming that green products play a pivotal role in shaping consumers' eco-friendly purchases.
The study contributes in three significant ways: firstly, it bridges a gap in the literature by connecting environmental awareness, green products, and consumer behavior. Secondly, it empirically introduces environmental concerns as a contextual or moderating variable. Lastly, the study offers a unique perspective by focusing on Afghanistan. Practitioners can find valuable insights in this research, highlighting the importance of green awareness, environmental concerns, and eco-friendly consumer behavior.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar de que forma a exploração de temas transversais por um grupo de professores(as), em uma perspectiva crítica, pode contribuir para o empowerment de cada um(a) dos(as) participantes. O conceito de empowerment é tomado da trama teórica que compõe a Educação Matemática Crítica e suas interseções com a pedagogia de Paulo Freire. Os seis participantes do estudo são professores e professoras de Matemática das redes pública e privada do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Nos sete encontros, que ocorreram de forma remota por causa do isolamento social imposto pela pandemia de covid-19, os participantes discutiram acerca dos temas transversais e refletiram sobre algumas possibilidades de exploração deles em aulas de Matemática. Como resultado, questões de Matemática foram elaboradas, de forma coletiva, tendo os temas transversais como pano de fundo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de gravações em áudio, vídeo e questionário. A análise se baseou em uma forma adaptada do trabalho com temas geradores, destacando os momentos de investigação, tematização e problematização. Ela revelou que os professores, ao longo dos encontros, passaram de uma consciência ingênua a uma consciência crítica, no que se refere ao uso de temas transversais em aula de Matemática, como caminho para o empowerment.

Published: September 2023

Covid-19 is a viral disease, caused by SARS-CoV-2, with a cyclical epidemiological behavior, causing systemic complications, mainly in the neurological field. In these cases, the patient needs to be evaluated clinically and by complementary exams, such as brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the last  years, efforts have been made in order to clarify molecular mechanisms involved in this disease. Several studies have demonstrated the importance and variety of neuroimaging findings, most of which point to alterations related to hemorrhagic, inflammatory and prothrombotic events,  bringing an increased risk of death. The aim of this review was to gather the recent evidence by imaging approach on the neurological early and long term risks especially those involved with unfavorable clinical damage, presence of comorbidities and invasive procedures. The present data indicates that Infection with SARS-CoV-2 brought a diversity of neurological changes in adults and the elderly, with long-term effects on the cognition. However, special interest and investigation needs to be given to the neonatal and pediatric cases, due to the inherent risks of the disease, development of systemic inflammatory syndromes and reported deaths.

Introdução: A autoavaliação de saúde bucal é influenciada não apenas pela presença da doença, mas também pelo bem-estar, nível de satisfação e qualidade de vida e configura-se como um importante indicador para ser monitorado nos serviços de saúde pública. Com isso, o objetivo do trabalho foi verificar a relação entre autoavaliação de saúde bucal e incapacidade de pacientes 12 meses após a admissão em UTI covid-19 de um hospital escola no Sul do Paraná. Método:Pesquisa transversal analítica e quantitativa, com dados sociodemográficos, clínicos, de autoavaliação de saúde e escala WHODAS 2.0 de pacientes egressos do referido hospital, de março de 2020 a março de 2021. Foram incluídos: pacientes internados em UTI por covid-19 por mais de 8 dias; alta hospitalar no mínimo 365 dias antes da coleta; maiores de 18 anos. A análise de dados foi realizada por meio da Mineração de Dados e pela Correlação de Spearman. Resultados: Os testes apontam inexistência de diferença significativa no índice de autoavaliação do estado de saúde bucal relacionado à incapacidade através da Mineração de Dados (p=0.7631, p=0.3910) e Correlação de Spearman (p=0.1687). Conclusão: A inexistência de diferença significativa entre as variáveis estudadas pode ser explicada pela teoria do paradoxo da deficiência.

As infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST´s) são uma realidade muito comum entre os adolescentes na atualidade. São doenças adquiridas principalmente por contato sexual. Suas manifestações são exteriorizadas por meio de secreções, feridas, verrugas ou bolhas. A adolescência é um período da vida onde ocorrem mudanças nos aspectos biopsicossocial, sabe- se que nessa fase a busca por novas experiências torna-se constante. O acompanhamento multiprofissional dos profissionais da área da saúde, é plausível na conscientização à adolescentes, tanto no que diz respeito a prevenção, quanto em orientações sobre o tratamento. A atuação da equipe multidisciplinar no  controle e prevenção de Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST´s), através de Estratégias Educativas para o público adolescentes em produção Cientificas. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, baseada nas bases de dados SCIELO, LILACS E PUBMED utilizando os termos com operador boleano AND, “Nurses AND “Sexually Transmitted Diseases”, “Nurses AND adolescent”, “Sexually Transmitted Diseases AND adolescent”, “Nurses AND Sexually Transmitted Infections”, “Sexually Transmitted Infections AND adolescent”. Artigos selecionados nas bases de dados que foram submetidos à análise crítica e que tiveram suas informações destinadas à inclusão ou exclusão de acordo com o tema proposto. Diante as informações baseadas nos bancos de busca, foi possível retificar que o enfermeiro juntamente com a equipe multidisciplinar tem um papel fundamental no combate as IST´s em adolescentes, não obstante no que envolve a Educação em Saúde dentro dos programas governamentais nessa fase da descoberta e auto afirmação.

Neurological disorders can directly affect basic functions of the upper limbs, leading to an alteration in or the loss of motor capacity and hindering the performance of activities of daily living. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive technique capable of modulating cortical excitability, favoring both brain activity and neuroplasticity. The objective was to systematize and discuss the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with electroencephalogram for the analysis of upper limb movements in individuals with neurological impairment. For such, the following research question was used: Is the combined use of tDCS and EEG effective for the analysis of upper limb movements? A systematic review was performed in the international network of databanks using the following criteria: (1) design: randomized controlled clinical trial; (2) population: healthy individuals or individuals with neurological impairment; (3) intervention: tDCS combined with EEG; (4) control group with different intervention or no intervention; (5) outcome: analysis of upper limb movement and function. Eight arti-cles were selected, revealing no consensus on the parameters to use. Few studies have evaluated the use of tDCS, physical therapy and electroencephalogram. The small number of studies and methodological variation hinder the determination of the combined effects of tDCS and EEG. Further studies are needed to define the ideal quantity of session, intervals between sessions and the administration of physical therapy concomitant to the use of tDCS.

O uso de cultivares com maior resposta e eficiência de uso da adubação potássica é essencial para a obtenção de alta produtividade e qualidade de fibras e maior rentabilidade no cultivo do algodão, especialmente em solos tropicais arenosos com baixa disponibilidade de K trocável. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a resposta e a eficiência do uso de potássio (K) de 22 cultivares de algodão (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivados em solo arenoso da região do Cerrado. O experimento foi conduzido no delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 2 × 22 com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos da aplicação de dois níveis de adubação potássica [20 mg kg–1 de K (nível baixo) e 200 mg kg–1 de K (nível alto)] e por 22 cultivares de algodão. Aos 45 dias foram avaliados a altura de planta, diâmetro do caule, área foliar, matéria seca da parte aérea, das raízes e total. Com base na produção de matéria seca da parte aérea foram calculados a eficiência de resposta (ER) à adubação potássica e a eficiência do uso de K (EU). As cultivares de algodão FM 911 GLTP, FM 974 GLT, TMG 22 GLTP, TMG 47 B2RF, DP 1746 B2F e IMA 5801 B2F foram classificadas como eficientes e responsivas à adubação potássica, e são os genótipos mais adequados para o cultivo em solos de baixa disponibilidade de K e em áreas agrícolas adubadas com altas doses de fertilizantes potássicos. As cultivares FM 906 GLT, FM 976 TLP, FM 978 GLTP RM, FM 985 GLTP, TMG 31 B3RF e TMG 91 WS3 foram classificadas como não eficientes e responsivas a adubação potássica, e são as cultivares de algodão mais indicadas para serem cultivadas em áreas agrícolas adubadas com altas doses de fertilizantes potássicos. As cultivares FM 942 TLP, FM 944 GL, FM 954 GLT, FM 970 GLTP RM, TMG 30 B3RF, TMG 44 B2RF e TMG 50 WS3 foram classificadas como eficientes e não responsivas à adubação potássica, e são as cultivares de algodão mais indicadas para serem cultivadas em solos de baixa disponibilidade de K.

O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi responder à pergunta: como o conceito de derivada foi abordado pelos autores Thales Carvalho; Euclides Roxo, Roberto Peixoto, Haroldo Cunha e Cesar Dacorso Neto; Algacyr Maeder; Manoel Bezerra e Ary Quintella nos livros de matemática escritos especialmente para o ensino colegial, no período de 1940 a 1970, no Brasil? David Tall formulou a teoria dos três mundos da matemática. Tomamos como referência a teoria deste autor. Escolhemos três categorias para análise dos dados: 1) abordagem formal simbólica; 2) abordagem formal, mesclada com corpóreo-simbólica e 3) abordagem corpóreo simbólico. Quase todos os autores seguiram uma abordagem formalizada, sendo que a única apresentação diferente foi aquela do autor Carvalho, que enquadra-se numa abordagem formal mesclada com corpóreo-simbólica.
