La secularización del pecado original y la autorreforma del humanismo
Authors: Quintana Oriol , Sáenz Almazán Berta
Published: December 2024

El proyecto humanista de la modernidad requería que no hubiera un pecado original, tal como sostuvo el cristianismo, que impidiera alcanzar cada vez mayores cuotas de libertad y progreso. Así, los ilustrados hablaron de las condiciones sociales y políticas que podían obstaculizar el progreso humano, pero no de limitaciones inherentes a la naturaleza humana. Por pecado original entendemos, con la tradición teológica, aquel defecto de base que nos impide alcanzar ciertos bienes. Con el paso de los siglos, algunas consecuencias indeseadas de la modernidad han llevado a ciertos humanistas a intentar una reforma de las ideas básicas de su propia filosofía. Sus reflexiones, centradas en la vulnerabilidad, secularizan —en un sentido funcional e indirecto— la vieja idea del pecado original para pensar los límites inherentes a nuestra condición.
Religión y consumismo: la convergencia de marcas y megaiglesias en la era post-secular
Authors: Llopis Fusté Isaac
Published: December 2024

Es bastante notorio que el capitalismo de consumo tiene connotaciones religiosas. Las marcas, y la publicidad que las visualiza, generan un relato multiabarcante, son el proveedor más importante de historias en la actualidad. Es por ello que nos representan la realidad, generan las necesidades existenciales y cultivan la identidad personal del conjunto de la población, aparentemente secularizada. A la vez, las religiones tradicionales y, en concreto, el cristianismo, evolucionan hacia una versión más emocional de las mismas, como se observa en el mundo neopentecostal y en las megaiglesias, el paradigma de la tendencia mercantilista del cristianismo. Al denostarse las racionalidades explicativas de significado, las diferentes confesiones religiosas abren su mentalidad a la lógica proveniente de la publicidad y el espectáculo de masas. Como resultado, la religión pasa a ser uno más de los productos de consumo que hay a su alrededor, adaptándose a las modas y a la cosmovisión imperante.
La insistencia de un Dios débil. Planteamientos filosóficos en torno a la noción de acontecimiento en la obra de John D. Caputo
Authors: Rubín Álvarez Abraham
Published: December 2024

La obra del filósofo y teólogo norteamericano John D. Caputo pivota alrededor de la tentativa de trasladar ciertos enfoques y aproximaciones de la filosofía postmoderna al ámbito de la religión y la temática de lo divino. En este sentido recupera la noción de debilidad, célebre en la obra de Gianni Vattimo, y la pone a trabajar al mismo tiempo con algunos de los motivos que se hicieron especialmente conocidos a partir de Jacques Derrida. Algunos ejemplos son el por-venir, los espectros o la prioridad de lo otro. Todos ellos son deudores de la noción de acontecimiento, a partir de la cual Caputo propone una nueva forma de entender la divinidad, más en línea con la filosofía postmoderna y, muy especialmente, con la deconstrucción.
QUANDO A IMAGINAÇÃO É OLHADA POR EDUCADORES: CONTRIBUTOS A PARTIR DE KIERAN EGANE DE RUBEM ALVES
Authors: ARAÚJO ALBERTO FILIPE , VAZ PERES LÚCIA MARIA
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo mostra a importância da tradição remitologizadora à educação valorizando os vários tipos de imaginação, assim como as suas lições míticas. Numa primeira parte, problematizaremos a imaginação, prioritrariamente, a partir de Kieran Egan. Na segunda parte, apresentaremos o Pinóquio, de Rubem Alves, tecendo algumas reflexões na perspetiva da filosofia do imaginário educacional que nós vimos, ao longo dos últimos anos, construindo. Tais problematizações conduzem-nos a pensar a educação e o papel do Pedagogo desde as lições de cariz simbólico e mítico de Pinóquio, uma vez que elas sugerem a renúncia e a tentação de sufocar o destino do educando, assim como a renúncia ao projeto de fabricar o outro, negando-lhe a alteridade sempre desejável.
A EDUCAÇÃO EM DIREITOS HUMANOS NA REDE PÚBLICA ESTADUAL: A EXPERIÊNCIA DA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DO RECIFE
Authors: TAVARES CELMA
Published: December 2024

A educação em direitos humanos (EDH) é uma área de conhecimento recente no Brasil, em especial no âmbito do ensino formal. Em Pernambuco, o trabalho na rede pública estadual, em 2007, passou a desenvolver-se com base em dois eixos: a educação como direito humano e a educação em direitos humanos. Este texto tem o objetivo de refletir sobre o trabalho de EDH no ensino formal com base na experiência realizada em escolas públicas estaduais da Região Metropolitana do Recife. A opção metodológica do estudo foi pela abordagem qualitativa, com utilização de análise documental, dados quantitativos, entrevistas e observação. A análise apontou avanços e fragilidades no processo. Entre os primeiros, sobressaem a criação de uma estrutura específica para a EDH na Secretaria de Educação, a atualização curricular e as ações de transversalidade do conteúdo de direitos humanos. Entre as segundas, destacam-se a diversidade de conceitos, a insuficiência de conhecimento na área e a carência de materiais adequados.

The impact of the organisational commitment of teachers on work engagement: The mediating role of teaching efficacy
Authors:   Ming Chuan University, Taiwan, Lien Hsin-Yi ,   National Academy for Educational Research & Ming Chuan University, Taiwan, Lai Hsieh-Chih
Published: December 2024

Research on teaching efficacy has explored the impact of self-efficacy on students’ academic performance and learning engagement, but little attention has been paid to the correlation with organisational commitment and work engagement. This study looks into the relationship between organisational commitment and work engagement, focusing on the mediation of self-perceived teaching efficacy. A cross-sectional study was designed, in which 1,532 teachers from 722 junior high schools in Taiwan completed distributed questionnaires containing an organisational commitment scale, teacher self-efficacy scale, and work engagement scale. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the collected data, and confirmatory factor analysis and bootstrapping were used to confirm the hypothesised model. The outcomes revealed strong positive correlations among the self-efficacy, organisational commitment and work engagement of teachers, with organisational commitment being a significant predictor of work engagement, indirectly impacting work engagement through teaching efficacy. The results confirmed the mediating role of teaching efficacy.
Managing selected types of costs related to ESG implementation in enterprises
Authors:   Military University of Technology in Warsaw, Poland, Szczerbak Monika ,   Warsaw School of Economics, Poland, Dec Paweł
Published: December 2024

In the current global business environment, the key factor influencing the success and sustainability of enterprises are the ESG assumptions, which aim to take into account environmental, social, and governance aspects in the decision-making process and when conducting business activities. This concept is not only gaining in importance but also penetrates deeply into an organisation's strategy, defining how companies should manage resources, product quality, and their impact on the surrounding world. Authors show how ESG is becoming an integral part of enterprise management, especially with respect to quality and environmental protection cost management. They focus on specific Lean Accounting tools and integrated quality and environmental cost accounting that can be used when implementing ESG assumptions. The proposed solutions result in a reduction in the use of raw materials and other resources, which is beneficial both for the planet and the company's financial results.
Extracurricular student activity and its impact on developing students' job competencies. The case of students working at BEST Gdansk
Authors:   Gdansk University of Technology, Poland, Chobot Paulina
Published: December 2024

With practical abilities (mostly soft skills) currently gaining importance in professional endeavours, university students need to acquire and improve competencies expected by their potential, future employers, as they may not be able to fully develop them during traditional university courses. This study aims to determine whether the extracurricular activity of students influences the development of job competencies. To test the hypothesis that such type of activity impacts the development of these competencies, an analysis of the basic framework of extracurricular activity was conducted, followed by a survey. As members of a student organisation operating by the Gdańsk University of Technology, the respondents were presented with a questionnaire and asked to assess the level of 12 chosen competencies before and while working at the organisation. The results showed that all participants experienced growth in their level of competencies, which illustrates that the extracurricular activity of students positively influences the development of job competencies.
Hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal disease (HDR) syndrome due to a novel GATA3 mutation p.Ala287Asp
Authors: Vroegindewey Luke , Kim John , Joseph Dennis J
Published: December 2024

HDR is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by the triad of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal anomalies caused by haploinsufficiency loss of function of the GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) gene. We present a case of a 56-year-old male diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, renal hypoplasia and epilepsy. Genetic testing revealed a novel GATA3 heterozygous mutation c.860C>A with a predicted amino acid substitution p.Ala287Asp. This hitherto unreported missense GATA mutation was characterized by a relatively late-onset and milder phenotype of the HDR triad.

Learning points

GATA3 gene mutations located on chromosome 10p cause haploinsufficiency of the GATA3 protein affecting fetal development of the parathyroid glands, inner ear and renal anomalies, resulting in HDR syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

Also known as Barakat syndrome, it has been reported in less than 200 cases with an identified mutation, each having a varied phenotypic presentation without consistent genotypic correlation.

We present a patient with HDR syndrome who tested positive for a novel mutation c.860C>A, resulting in a missense substitution of amino acids p.Ala287Asp in the GATA3 gene.

Clinicians who identify this rare triad of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal anomalies should further investigate with genetic testing for GATA3 mutations.

Authors: Sasaki Rika , Yamazaki Haruhiko , Kumagai Eita , Toda Soji , Saito Aya
Published: December 2024

A 56-year-old woman with cervical pain with a history of ovarian clear cell carcinoma stage IIIC was admitted to a primary care doctor. Ultrasonography revealed a microhyperechoic nodule in the thyroid gland and cervical lymph node enlargement, and fine-needle aspiration was performed. The results showed malignancy, and she was admitted to our hospital. The differential diagnoses included primary thyroid neoplasms and thyroid metastases from ovarian clear cell carcinoma. A needle biopsy of the thyroid gland was performed. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin AE1/AE3, hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-beta and PAX8 and negative for thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor-1. Therefore, we diagnosed the patient with thyroid metastasis from ovarian clear cell carcinoma. There were no compressive symptoms at the time of the visit to our hospital, and surgery was considered unnecessary. Systemic treatment for ovarian clear cell carcinoma was continued. Three months later, she died of a stroke due to Trousseau’s syndrome.

Learning points

Metastasis of ovarian carcinoma to the thyroid gland is extremely rare.

Using histology and immunostaining, we were able to accurately diagnose thyroid metastasis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma.
Exogenous progesterone supplementation: a strategy to enhance conceptus development in sheep and pigs?
Authors: Tyree Maria F , Stenhouse Claire
Published: December 2024

The inability of animals to get pregnant, pregnancy loss and weak or stillborn offspring are significant economic burdens to livestock producers worldwide. Progesterone, the hormone of pregnancy, has a crucial role in the establishment of pregnancy, and it has been suggested that progesterone supplementation may be a promising strategy to improve pregnancy outcomes and conceptus development. This review article describes the existing literature on progesterone supplementation in sheep and pigs in relation to pregnancy outcomes and conceptus development.

Lay Summary

Pregnancy loss and weak offspring are significant problems both in humans and in agriculturally relevant species. Progesterone (the hormone of pregnancy) is important for establishing pregnancy and regulating fetal and placental growth, and it is speculated that progesterone supplementation could be a promising method to improve pregnancy outcomes and both fetal and placental growth. This review article describes the existing literature on progesterone supplementation in sheep and pigs in relation to pregnancy outcomes and fetal and placental development.
Egipto y el genocidio en Gaza
Authors: Azaola Piazza Bárbara
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre la fractura entre el régimen y la sociedad en Egipto en lo que respecta a la cuestión palestina. Egipto fue el primer país árabe en establecer relaciones diplomáticas plenas con Israel en 1978 y desde entonces la brecha no ha dejado de ensancharse, como se ha evidenciado tras la brutal ofensiva israelí sobre Gaza iniciada en octubre de 2023. A medida que las relaciones egipcio-israelíes se han ido consolidando a lo largo del tiempo, tanto en el plano político como el securitario o el económico, las posibilidades de la población de manifestar su rechazo han ido menguando en un contexto político de autoritarismo reforzado.
Defending the “Natural Family” in Lithuania: Gendered Nationalism and Familism in the Discourse of Right-Wing Populists
Authors: Juchnevičiūtė Evelina
Published: December 2024

The aim of this article is to examine the interplay between gender and nationalism in the political discourse of right-wing populists in Lithuania. In recent years, the political landscape in Central and Eastern Europe has been increasingly characterized by the rise of right-wing populism and anti-gender campaigns. The founding of the Lithuanian political party the National Alliance is linked to this shift. This party is defined as nationalist, conservative, anti-system and populist political movement. Employing political discourse analysis, this study analyses the National Alliance’ public statements from 2020 to 2024. The analysis shows that the discourse of the National Alliance uses a hyperbolic and alarmist language to represent progressive gender policies, invokes gendered nationalist and familist notions to delegitimize them, and advocates a model of society based around the “natural family” in which identity is controlled and space for expressions of non-conformity is restricted.
Polypoint Transformation Dependency on the Polyfiber Configuration

Applying polypoint transformation to a triangle mesh is a promising technique that deserves extensive exploration. Unlike traditional deformation techiques used in 3D animation that are based on spatial interpolation, polypoint transformation transforms not a set of points or mesh vertices, but a polyfiber — a set of planes that form an object of transformation. This can be beneficial in practical applications such as computer animation, deformative modeling in CAD, or deformation prediction in additive manufacturing since, with polypoint transformation, the object of deformation includes the topological information about the mesh and not just its vertex positions. The way a polyfiber can form a triangle mesh is, however, an understudied problem.

This problem gets easier to study if we start from a 2D case where a structure that corresponds to a triangle mesh in 3D is a polyline or a conotur made of line segments. For this structure we can decompose the study into a set of explorable questions one of them being: how the configuration of contour forming polyfiber affects the results of transformation, or, more specifically, how an angle between two lines forming a vertex affects the translation of that vertex under a polypoint transformation? Would this dependency prohibit the application of polypoint transformation to 3D mesh deformation? This article answers both questions.

O transplante de órgãos, apesar de apresentar excelentes resultados, representa uma terapêutica não isenta de riscos. Esses riscos decorrem principalmente da transmissão de doenças do doador ao receptor ou da falha de funcionamento do órgão transplantado, podendo, inclusive, levar ao óbito do indivíduo receptor.
Transplante Renal Pediátrico
Authors: Antônia Peres Saldanha Maria , Rodrigues Neves Pedro , Druck Garcia Clotilde
Published: December 2024

Em primeiro lugar, embora seja a principal escolha para o tratamento de doenças renais terminais em crianças de todas as idades, o transplante de órgãos na população pediátrica persiste como um dos procedimentos mais complexos e desafiadores da prática médica (Assadi, 2013; Garcia et al., 2015). Sabe-se que o primeiro transplante renal bem-sucedido ocorreu em 1954; contudo, os primeiros resultados de transplantes em crianças foram reportados somente em 1966 (Jalanko et al., 2016). Atualmente, em função de diversos avanços médicos – como no refinamento de técnicas e cuidado cirúrgico, no manejo imunológico, no controle de infecções e na atenção cardiovascular –, os resultados de sobrevida e qualidade de vida do paciente melhoraram significativamente. Nesse sentido, a opção pelo transplante renal pediátrico tem revolucionado a vida de crianças acometidas com doença renal crônica, conferindo, inclusive, melhor crescimento esquelético e desenvolvimento neuropsicológico em comparação com a diálise (Emma et al., 2022; Leslie; Nogueira, 2013).

Published: December 2024

A doença renal crônica (DRC) é uma condição em que há perda gradual e progressiva da capacidade do rim em realizar suas múltiplas funções na promoção da homeostase do corpo humano. A DRC é subdividida em estágios conforme a taxa de filtração glomerular e pode culminar, em última instância, em doença renal terminal. Nessa fase, os rins não são mais capazes de exercer suas funções adequadamente, fazendo se necessária a introdução de terapia de substituição renal (TSR) por diálise ou por transplante renal. Este capítulo fará uma breve revisão acerca da DRC e das terapias de substituição renal. Para uma melhor compreensão do tema central, serão abordados alguns conceitos sobre os rins e suas funções fisiológicas.

Aim: There is a need to evaluate the tissue deformation index of lateral abdominal muscles using M-mode ultrasound in a cohort of healthy subjects to establish a convenient reference point for clinical reasoning in patients. The aim of the study was to assess differences in the tissue deformation index between individual lateral abdominal muscles regardless of body side, compare these differences in the tissue deformation index on the right and left sides of the body, and evaluate side-to-side differences in the tissue deformation index within individual lateral abdominal muscles. Material and methods: In a group of 126 healthy volunteers (59 females), the postural response of lateral abdominal muscles to external perturbation in the form of rapid arm abduction with load was recorded on both sides of the body, and the tissue deformation index was cal- culated. Results: The mean values of the tissue deformation index form an increasing gradient from deep to superficial lateral abdominal muscles: 0.06%/ms for the transversus abdominis, 0.084%/ms for the internal oblique and 0.151%/ms for the external oblique (p <0.001). Side-to-side intra-muscle differences were signifi- cant only for the transverse abdominis (right: 0.047%/ms; left: 0.070%; p <0.01). Conclusions: The tissue de- formation index values differ significantly among individual lateral abdominal muscles and form a character- istic gradient: transversus abdominis < internal oblique < external oblique. The transversus abdominis muscle shows significant asymmetry in the tissue deformation index between the left and right sides of the body.
The Unfolding of Industrial Capitalism
Authors: Gallego-Vila Laia
Published: December 2024

In the late nineteenth century, the rural county of Berguedà in Catalonia, Spain, underwent a process of coal industrialisation, establishing itself as part of the energy-producing periphery of the city of Barcelona. This paper adopts a historical-archaeological perspective to landscape and dwelling in the context of this transformation of the rural world. In doing so, it incorporates new narratives of previously silenced, marginalised identities to provide insights into the materiality of processes associated with the dismemberment of rural society, the restructuring of the gender order and the making of a complex, diverse working class.
The Materiality of Mobility through Fridge Magnets
Authors: Albero Santacreu Daniel
Published: December 2024

The development of mass tourism and globalisation in the second half of the twentieth century not only transformed our physical mobility but also the way we construct identity and define social status through mobility. In this this context, the travel magnets that we purchase on our trips and typically put on the doors of our fridges are displaced mundane objects made to exhibit their exogenous origin, thus becoming a symbol of “being there”. In this paper, I argue that fridge magnets are much more than mere decorative elements, and that they constitute biographical objects loaded with narratives that are actively used in the construction of diverse identities. In addition, I explore how these mundane objects of our contemporary past are also used to strengthen social bonds and define group social status and identity through mobility.

Published: December 2024

The concept of mathematics is widely used in various societal spheres. As an educational subject, it engages students’ logical thinking, contributing to the development of their competencies and thereby equipping them for specific life vocations and future career choices. Mathematics teaches us to be wise and to solve problems step by step. It is to be appreciated for being a logical puzzle, posing a challenge and fostering a readiness to engage with it in various ways. Anyone can learn mathematics; there is no human activity that does not depend on it. Almost all secondary schools and many universities include mathematics as a subject. The significance of the subject extends beyond education, playing a crucial role in shaping one’s personality. The objectives and tasks of the educational subject are strictly defined, with primary education aiming at acquiring basic linguistic and mathematical literacy.

Published: December 2024

Parallel programming is a skill that requires the use of technologies and techniques that allow applications to use multiple threads/processes simultaneously. In some cases, this is a condition for their launch or correct operation. This article presents selected aspects of such a programming using the example of two proposed applications: for PC computers with the .NET platform and application designed for a computer cluster operating in the GNU/Linux system. These are two applications with different purposes – the first uses image processing mechanisms, while the second – is the implementation of precise numerical calculations. The proposed applications were designed in the context of using multithreading and multiprocessing technologies. The obtained results indicate that implementing appropriate programming techniques is an important aspect of programming various types of applications, ensuring their correct operation and acceleration of long-term calculations.

MARGIN OF STABILITY OF THE TIME-VARYING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ROTATIONAL MOTION OF THE ROCKET
Authors: Avdieiev V. V. , Alexandrov A. E.
Published: December 2024

Context. The rocket motion control system is time-varying, since its parameters during flight depend on the point of the trajectory and fuel consumption. Stability margin indicators are determined in a limited area of individual points of the trajectory using algorithms that are developed only for linear stationary systems, which leads to the need to enter stock factor in hardware. In the available sources, due attention is not paid to the development of methods for determining the quantitative assessment of the stability margin of the time-varying control system.
Objective is to develop a methodological support for the construction of an algorithm for calculating the stability margin indicators of the time-varying system for controlling the rocket rotational motion in the plane of yawing using the equivalent stationary approximation at a selected trajectory section.
Method. The mathematical model of the control system for the rocket rotational movement in one plane is adopted in the form of a linear differential equation without considering the inertia of the executive device and other disturbing factors. The effect of deviation of parameters from their average values for a certain trajectory section is considered as a disturbance, which makes it possible to transition from a non-stationary model to an equivalent approximate stationary one. The Nyquist criterion is used to estimate the stability margin indicators, which is based on the analysis of the frequency characteristic of an open system, for the determination of which the Laplace transform mathematical apparatus is used. To simplify the transition from functions of time in the differential equation of perturbed motion to functions of a complex variable in the Laplace transform, time-varying model parameters are presented in the form of a sum of exponential functions.
Result. Methodological support was developed for building an algorithm for determining the stability margin of the rocket’s rotary motion control system at a given trajectory section with time-inconstant parameters.
Conclusions. Using the example of the time-varying system for controlling the rocket rotational movement, the possibility of using the Laplace transformation to determine the stability margin indicators is shown.
The obtained results can be used at the initial stage of project work.
The next stage of the research is an assessment of the level of algorithm complexity, considering the inertia of the executive device and the disturbed movement of the mass center.

Introducción. Los microplásticos (MPs) son actualmente un problema emergente debido a su lenta degradación, ya su amplia distribución en el suelo y en la atmósfera, lo que contribuye a una amenaza ambiental. La abeja melífera (Apis mellifera) es un polinizador y bioindicador ambiental de alta importancia para la agrobiodiversidad. Objetivo. El estudio evaluó la presencia de MPs en obreras de A. mellifera en colmenares urbanos de Lima Metropolitana, Perú. Materiales y métodos. Se seleccionaron tres colmenares ubicados en los distritos de Puente Piedra (zona norte), La Molina (zona centro) y Pachacamac (zona sur) en Lima, Perú, y se recolectaron abejas melíferas entre octubre y diciembre de 2023. Se cuantificaron los microplásticos ( MPs) en números de partículas de MPs/90 abejas, presentes en el exterior e interior corporal de las abejas, clasificándolos según forma, color y tamaño. Resultados y Discusión. Se identificó la presencia de MPs en A. mellifera en los tres colmenares evaluados. Las cantidades observadas de MPs fueron mayores en Pachacamac (41 partículas externas y 10 internas) y La Molina (38 partículas externas y 12 internas), que en Puente Piedra (19 partículas externas y 15 internas). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la distribución de MPs filamentosos según el colmenar. Los MP predominantes fueron filamentosos, con colores azul, negro, rojo y blanco, y tamaños entre 40 y 4400 µm. Conclusiones. Los hallazgos y datos sugieren emplear a las obreras de A. mellifera como un potencial bioindicador de contaminación por MPs en colmenares urbanos.
POLÍTICAS NEOLIBERAIS E REFORMAS NA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR
Authors: Krakhecke Eliada Mayara Alves , Leite Maria Cecília Lorea , Voss Dulce Mari da Silva
Published: December 2024

Este ensaio teórico problematiza as reformas da Educação Superior, com ênfase na análise das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCNs) dos cursos de Direito, buscando efetuar uma leitura crítica do avanço das políticas de cunho neoliberal e neoconservador no campo educacional. A análise é operada sob perspectiva teórico-epistemológica pós-estruturalista, referendada nas noções de política (Mouffe, 2003; Laclau, 2005), governamentalidade (Foucault, 2006; 2008b; 2010) e nos conceitos de recontextualização e atuação (Ball; Maguire; Braun, 2016). No campo educacional brasileiro, a disseminação de regimes de verdade voltados à legitimação da lógica empresarial tem promovido reformas legais na regulação da gestão, oferta e organização curricular da Educação Superior em todas as áreas científicas e de formação acadêmica, incluindo o Direito. Entretanto, a implementação efetiva dessas reformas depende da atuação das comunidades epistêmicas no exercício de reinterpretação das diretrizes por definir a reorganização curricular dos projetos político-pedagógicos que sustentam a formação acadêmica. As DCNs para a formação de bacharéis em Direito indicam a produção de uma política curricular híbrida, que articula a tradição do ensino jurídico às demandas contemporâneas, sob influência da agenda neoliberal e neoconservadora.
Sustainable pervious concrete pile for liquefaction and reliquefaction mitigation

The present work attempts to investigate the applicability of using recycled aggregate for the development of pervious concrete and for mitigating liquefaction and reliquefaction effects. The dynamic behaviour of developed recycled aggregate–based pervious concrete pile is compared with natural aggregate–based pervious concrete pile. The study attempts to explore the inherent material properties of pervious concrete keeping permeability equivalent to conventional stone columns but with improved mechanical characteristics with enhanced pore water pressure ratio reduction and soil displacement reduction efficiency under repeated incremental acceleration loading conditions. For testing, 1g shaking table tests were performed with 0·1 g, 0·2 g, 0·3 g and 0·4 g acceleration loading with 5 Hz frequency. The outcomes obtained from this experimental study infer that recycled aggregate–based pervious concrete pile exhibits a superior performance compared with natural aggregate–based pervious concrete pile. Overall, the use of recycled aggregate found sustainable approach for developing pervious concrete pile and found effective ground improvement application against liquefaction and reliquefaction hazards.
”Jag skulle vilja att nånting hände” – ett lärararbetslag om tio minuters läsning varje lektion
Authors: Bradling Björn
Published: December 2024

I Björn Bradlings artikel ”’Jag skulle vilja att nånting hände’– ett lärararbetslag om tio minuters läsning varje lektion” utforskas lärares röster, i det här fallet om erfarenheter från ett läsfrämjande projekt. Bradling har genom fokusgruppsamtal som del av participatory research utvärderat projektet på nära håll. Genom att i samtalen tillsammans återvända till projektet ges lärarna möjlighet att delvis distansera sig för att tydligare se möjligheter och dilemman. Den intressanta frågan om syftet med läsningen diskuteras, och åsikter om läslust och läsnytta lyfts fram tillsammans med de fördelar som lärarna ser med projektet. Även i denna artikel lyfts frågan om elevers engagemang för läsning fram, här som en av de utmaningar som lärarna identifierar i sina strävanden efter transformativa tecken.
Shared Reading i skolan – läsning på andra villkor?
Authors: Economou Catarina , Bringéus Eva
Published: December 2024

Catarina Economou och Eva Bringéus redovisar i ”Shared Reading i skolan – läsning på andra villkor?” en studie där de undersöker hur läsning med elever inspirerad av metoden Shared Reading kan bidra till dessa elevers läsintresse. Studien syftar till att belysa läsecirkelns möjlighet att utveckla läsengagemang och undersöka hur en grupp elever läser och möter varandra i och genom litterära texter. Därutöver jämför de också elevers uppfattning om läsecirkelns metod, inspirerad av Shared Reading, med uppfattningen om den litteraturundervisning de möter i skolan. Det teoretiska ramverket och de analytiska begreppen utgörs av andraspråksforskaren Cummins identitetsutvecklande interpersonal space (2001), litteraturreceptionsforskaren McCormicks repertoarbegreppsmodell (1994) samt litteraturpedagogen Tengbergs läsartsbegrepp (2011). Studiens resultat visar på Shared Reading som en möjlig läsfrämjande väg till läsengagemang. Samtalen om litteratur skiljer sig här på flera andra sätt från den skönlitterära skolläsning som eleverna i intervjuerna beskriver som en uppgiftskultur där de läser och svarar på frågor. Eleverna rör sig fritt i samtalen både mellan sina egna och textens allmänna och litterära repertoarer och mellan olika läsarter och utforskar på så sätt texterna tillsammans. Ju längre in i samtalen de kommer, desto större utrymme och betydelse får den känslomässiga reaktionen, som därmed både bidrar till och utgör en stor del av själva engagemanget.
Läsa, skriva, känna – gymnasieelevers tankar om fanfiction i litteraturundervisningen
Authors: Malmqvist Jenny , Persson Ann-Sofie , Strääf Maria
Published: December 2024

I artikeln ”Läsa, skriva, känna – gymnasieelevers tankar om fanfiction i undervisningen” av Jenny Malmqvist, Ann-Sofie Persson och Maria Strääf undersöks vilken betydelse som skrivande och läsande av fanfiction kan få för gymnasiets litteraturundervisning i en tid då skönlitteraturen allt oftare måste konkurrera med andra medier. Inom ramarna för en pilotundersökning belyses här gymnasieelevers såväl affektiva som kritiska bruk av fanfiction i syfte att undersöka genrens litteraturdidaktiska potential. Den teoretiska bakgrunden utgörs av genreteori (Jenkins, 2013), litteraturdidaktisk teori (Langer, 2011) och responsteori med särskild tonvikt på begreppet affective community (Wilson, 2016). Det empiriska materialet i studien är inhämtat med hjälp av enkäter och ett antal semistrukturerade intervjuer med gymnasielever. Resultatet av studien tyder på att deltagarna uppfattar läsande och skrivande av fanfiction som en mycket kreativ aktivitet som innefattar såväl kritisk analys av genredrag, berättarteknik och karaktärsgestaltning som ett mer känslomässigt engagemang. I den analys som författarna gör visar sig föreställningsvärldar (Langer, 2011) vara ett fruktbart begrepp för att beskriva elevernas kognitiva och emotionella rörelser mellan olika texter. Den avslutande diskussionen rör det litteraturdidaktiska värdet av fanfiction när eleverna vittnar om engagemang och kreativitet under skrivarbetet men också resonerar om hur det eventuellt ska bedömas av läraren.
The timing of speech and gesture in two Niger-Congo languages: Implications for word-level prominence
Authors: Franich Kathryn , Keupdjio Hermann , Nwosu Vincent
Published: December 2024

Co-speech gestures are timed to occur with prosodically prominent syllables in several languages. In prior work in Indo-European languages, gestures are found to be attracted to stressed syllables, with gesture apexes preferentially aligning with syllables bearing higher and more dynamic pitch accents. Little research has examined the temporal alignment of co-speech gestures in African tonal languages, where metrical prominence is often hard to identify due to a lack of canonical stress correlates, and where a key function of pitch is in distinguishing between words, rather than marking intonational prominence. Here, we examine the alignment of co-speech gestures in two different Niger-Congo languages with very different word structures, Medʉmba (Grassfields Bantu, Cameroon) and Igbo (Igboid, Nigeria). Our findings suggest that the initial position in the stem tends to attract gestures in Medʉmba, while the final syllable in the word is the default position for gesture alignment in Igbo; phrase position also influences gesture alignment, but in language-specific ways. Though neither language showed strong evidence of elevated prominence of any individual tone value, gesture patterning in Igbo suggests that metrical structure at the level of the tonal foot is relevant to the speech-gesture relationship. Our results demonstrate how the speech-gesture relationship can be a window into patterns of word- and phrase-level prosody cross-linguistically. They also show that the relationship between gesture and tone (and the related notion of ‘tonal prominence’) is mediated by tone’s function in a language.

Published: December 2024

Tasavvuf ve tekke edebiyatının en önemli temsilcilerinden biri olan Tüfekçizade Salih Baba, XIX. yy’ın sonları ile XX. yy’ın başlarında yaşamış ve Pîr-i Sâmî (k.s.) ‘ye intisab ederek tasavvuf yoluna girmiş olan bir zattır. Salih Baba, Nakşbendiyye tarikatının Halidiyye koluna mensuptur. Salih Baba’nın tekkede bulunduğu sırada bir anda varidatla dolarak söylediği şiirlerden oluşan bir dîvanından başka günümüze değin ulaşan bir eseri bulunmamaktadır. Salih Baba’nın şiirleri üzerinde, tasavvuf alanında bazı çalışmalar yapılmış olmasına rağmen, din psikolojisi alan yazınında dîvanın taşıdığı dini duygu muhtevasını ortaya koyabilecek çalışmalar henüz yapılmış değildir. İşte böyle bir ihtiyaçtan hareketle bu çalışmada; Salih Baba’nın ölümünden sonra bir araya getirilen şiirlerinden oluşan dîvanındaki bazı şiirler ele alınarak bu şiirlerde dini duygunun tezahürleri incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, şiirlerde değinilmiş olan dini duygu motifleri, din psikolojisi ve tasavvuf psikolojisi literatüründen faydalanılarak irdelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada dîvanda geçen korku, umut, şükür, sabır, haset, kibir, riya, ucb ve dedikodu gibi dini duygular ele alınmıştır.
Lang lebe König Ahiram! Über einen Hüter der Erinnerung
Authors: Zaven Tania
Published: December 2024

Als im Jahr 1975 der libanesische Bürgerkrieg begann, war ich drei Jahre alt. Ich wohnte direkt neben dem Nationalmuseum von Beirut, im Stadtteil Badaro, wo ich auch heute noch zu Hause bin. Während meiner Kindheit wurde mir eingeschärft, dass ich die Umgebung des Museums zu meiden hätte. Dort hinzugehen galt als sehr gefährlich, da der Museumsbau direkt an der Demarkationslinie zwischen Ost- und West-Beirut lag. Doch die Schule, die ich damals besuchte, das Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais, befand sich in Ashrafiyeh, einem Viertel auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Museums. So mussten wir Kinder jeden Tag einen überaus riskanten Weg zurücklegen. Es kam zu zahlreichen Gräueltaten; die schlimmste war die Entführung meines Cousins direkt vor dem Nationalmuseum.
