Authors: Zhang Dan-Dan , Ou Ya-Nan , Fu Yan , Wang Zhi-Bo , Huang Liang-Yu , Tan Lan , Yu Jin-Tai
Published: July 2022

Background:

A negative association between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was revealed.

Objective:

We aimed to further explore the dementia risk among cancer survivors and then among cancer survivors who received cancer treatment in subsequent subgroup analyses.

Methods:

Databases of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched from inception to April 1, 2021, following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Relative risks (RR) of dementia were pooled by a random-effects model stratifying the data by potential confounding factors to explore the heterogeneity. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42021250654.

Results:

A total of 36 studies were included in this meta-analysis, of which 16 studies were about the risk of dementia in cancer survivors, and 20 studies were about the risk of dementia in survivors who accepted cancer treatment. The pooled RR reached 0.89 ([95% CI = 0.82–0.97], I2 = 97.9%) for dementia and 0.89 ([0.83–0.95], I2 = 92.6%) for AD in cancer survivors compared with non-cancer controls. Notably, both dementia risk and AD risk significantly decreased in survivors of colon, leukemia, small intestine, and thyroid cancers (RR ranged from 0.64 to 0.92). Furthermore, prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy exhibited a significantly increased risk of dementia (RR:1.18 [1.09–1.27], I2 = 89.5%) and AD (RR:1.17 [1.08–1.25], I2 = 81.3%), with evidence of between-study heterogeneity.

Conclusion:

Currently, available evidence suggests that the risk of dementia among cancer survivors is decreased. However, large-scale prospective cohort studies are warranted to further prove the association.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a cerebrovascular disease directly implicated in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis through amyloid-β deposition. Growing evidence has shown a pivotal role of chronic neuroinflammation both in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and Alzheimer’s disease.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate whether circulating levels of the complement 3, a crucial component of the innate immune system, are increased in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Methods:

Serum complement 3 levels were retrospectively measured by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a single-center cohort of patients with mild cognitive impairment. The diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy was based on the modified Boston criteria. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictive factors for cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Results:

We analyzed 55 mild cognitive impairment patients (mean age [standard deviation]: 76.3 [6.8] years; 33 [60% ] men). Complement 3 levels were significantly increased in cerebral amyloid angiopathy patients ( n = 16) compared with those without cerebral amyloid angiopathy ( n = 39) (median [interquartile range]: 0.43 [0.34–0.65] versus 0.35 [0.25–0.45], respectively; p = 0.040). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increased complement 3 levels were significantly associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. After selection of the best predictive model using stepwise selection, complement 3 was preserved as a significant independent predictive factor for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (odds ratio per 0.1 unit/mL increase [95% confidence interval]: 1.407 [1.042–1.899]; p = 0.026).

Conclusion:

Complement activation may play a pivotal role in cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Complement 3 may be a novel diagnostic biomarker for cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
Reduced Hippocampal and Anterior Cingulate Expression of Antioxidant Enzymes and Membrane Progesterone Receptors in Alzheimer’s Disease with Depression
Authors: Luo Wendy , Pryzbyl Katherine J. , Bigio Eileen H. , Weintraub Sandra , Mesulam M.-Marsel , Redei Eva E.
Published: July 2022

Background:

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a risk factor for dementia including that caused by Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Both MDD and AD have a higher prevalence in women than men, and estrogen-related processes have been implicated in this sex difference.

Objective:

To identify if enhanced oxidative stress and decreased expression of the memory enhancer insulin-like growth factor 2 ( IGF2), each implicated separately in MDD and AD, are exaggerated in individuals with both AD and MDD compared to those with AD.

Methods:

Expression of target genes are determined by qPCR in postmortem hippocampus (Hip) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of individuals with dementia and autopsy confirmed AD and those of AD+MDD.

Results:

Transcript levels of the antioxidant enzymes catalase ( CAT) and superoxide dismutase 1 ( SOD1), as well as IGF2 and its receptor ( IGF2R) were significantly lower in the Hip and ACC of individuals with both AD and MDD compared to those with AD and no MDD. Expressions of Progestin and AdipoQ Receptor Family Member 7 ( PAQR7, alias progesterone receptor alpha, mPRa) and PAQR8 ( mPRβ), receptors that bind neurosteroids, were also lower in the Hip and ACC of AD+MDD samples compared to those of AD without MDD. Correlations among these transcripts revealed that estrogen receptor 2 ( ESR2) and mPR β are direct or indirect regulators of the expression of the antioxidant enzymes and IGF2R.

Conclusion:

Reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes, decreased IGF2 expression, and diminished estrogen or membrane progesterone receptor-dependent processes might be more pronounced in the subpopulation of individuals with AD and MDD than without MDD.
Proactive care post-discharge to reduce 30 day readmissions to hospital
Authors: Choudhury J. , Perrio S. , Scobell M. , Bertram T. , Gray A.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

Healthwatch England estimated emergency readmissions have risen by 22.8% between 2012–13 and 2016–17. Some emergency readmissions could be avoided by providing patients with urgent out of hospital medical care or support. Sovereign Health Network (SHN) comprises of three GP practices, with a combined population of 38,000.

OBJECTIVE:

We will decrease the number of SHN patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge from Portsmouth Hospitals Trust following a non-elective admission (excluding Emergency Department attendance) by 40–60% by July 2020.

METHODS:

Four Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycles were used to test the administrative and clinical processes. Our Advanced Nurse Practitioner reviewed all discharge summaries, added alerts to records, and proactively contacted patients either by text, telephone or home visit.

RESULTS:

92 patients aged 23 days to 97 years were admitted onto the recent discharge scheme. Half of discharge summaries were received on the day of discharge, whilst 29% of discharge summaries were received more than 24 hours post-discharge, and one was received 11 days post-discharge. Following our interventions, there were 55% less than expected readmissions during the same time period.

CONCLUSION:

To allow proactive interventions to be instigated in a timely manner, discharge summaries need to be received promptly. The average readmission length of stay following a non-elective admission is seven days. Our proactive interventions saved approximately 102.9 bed days, with potential savings of 1,775 bed days over a year. We feel the results from our model are promising and could be replicated by other Primary Care Networks to result in larger savings in bed days.
Documentation of Just in Case (JiC) medication for end of life patients in care homes looked after by a general practice
Authors: Barnes Eve , Parfit Caroline
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

This project was undertaken to improve the documentation of Just in Case (JiC) medication in a general practice. The outcome of a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis highlighted this as an area where awareness within the practice could be improved.

OBJECTIVE:

A Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) approach was taken to the project and involved collaborative working and data collection from the general practice and relevant care homes.

METHOD:

JiC medications are used to promptly manage symptoms experienced at the end of a patient’s life and are part of the Gold Standard Framework (2006).

RESULTS:

Of the patients registered at the practice with JiC medication, 37.5% were incorrectly documented. This included errors/ inaccuracy with the clinical coding, or the medication. Three patients on practice generated searches had no JiC medication in the care homes, and 4 patients had JiC boxes in the care home that was not identified by the search.

CONCLUSION:

This evaluation has identified documentation errors and discrepancies between practice and community records of JiC medication. A newly generated practice specific flowchart was created, with an aim of reducing the discrepancies. A guide of how to carry out a QI project like this was created for the RCGP and can be found on their website. A seminar at Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) CCG to present this project took place in 2021.
A data cube modeling method for longitudinal cohort study
Authors: Li Xin , Liang Huadong , Li Lin
Published: July 2022

Longitudinal cohort study is an effective way to probe into the risk factors of disease and evaluate intervention measures. It has gradually become the mainstream research method in precision medicine, chronic disease management and evidence-based education, and has been deployed in many National Science and Technology Major Projects, which established its specialized cohorts for natural populations, chronic diseases, specialized diseases. The quality of data is a make-or-break factor of longitudinal cohort study. The subjects and test tasks in longitudinal cohort study have dynamic changes over time, and the data generated involves multiple modalities and scales. Therefore, exploring how to model business-oriented longitudinal cohort data will contribute to a unified understanding and governance of longitudinal cohort data, and ultimately improve data quality. On the one hand, because different modal data in longitudinal cohort study have different dimensional indicators, it is difficult to carry out data modeling based on unified dimensional indicators through simple dimensional splicing; on the other hand, the needs of the longitudinal cohort management scenario determine the calculations should be focused on the granularity of individual subjects and data modal types. Considering the above, the traditional multi-dimensional data modeling method based on data dimension indicators and their measurements as basic elements couldn’t be fully adapted to the counting and statistical requirements under the longitudinal cohort scenarios. This paper proposes a data cube model based on MOLAP named SubTaP, which take multimodal data objects as basic granularity. This model constructs a cube structure with three dimensions of Subject, Task and Phase. It can be applied to meet the visualization requirements of longitudinal cohort management scenario and guide the construction of a data information platform for cohort study. At the same time, it helps to build a unified understanding of longitudinal cohort study data among data generators, cohort maintainers, and data users.
Appreciation at work and the effect on employees’ presenteeism
Authors: Bregenzer Anita , Jiménez Paulino , Milfelner Borut
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Presenteeism, which means attending work while feeling unhealthy or ill, is a serious risk behavior that reduces the employees’ productivity and performance. Employees who are treated appreciatively by their work environment show less presenteeism. Investigating the mechanisms behind the relationship between appreciation and presenteeism can help to understand how presenteeism can be reduced even more in the workplace. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of two forms of appreciation (supervisor appreciation and general appreciation from the work environment), on presenteeism and includes the moderating effects of resources and stress. This will help to answer the questions a) which form of appreciation is more beneficial for employees and b) whether appreciation counteracts presenteeism by building up resources. METHOD: 1077 Austrian workers were invited to fill-in an online survey about work-related issues. The data was analyzed with structural equation modelling (SEM). RESULTS: The results showed that both forms of appreciation increase the resources of the employees. Through this increase of resources employees experience less stress, which consequently lowers presenteeism. Additionally, general appreciation is more beneficial than supervisor appreciation. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that appreciative behavior builds resources at the workplace which are essential for showing less presenteeism at work.
CHARACTERISTICS FROM THE COVER PAGES OF GERMAN LANGUAGE ZOO GUIDES
Authors: Gaman Iryna
Published: July 2022

The article is dedicated to the analysis of verbal and non-verbal characteristics (linguistic and graphic design) of the German zoo guidebooks cover. The layout of guidebooks concerns the architectonic of the book and serves as a sign of theme, functions and text reception situation. The materiality as a feature of text correlates with the holistic understanding of style (style as a complex of elements considered at different text levels). In texts with a combination of linguistic and graphic elements (visual or polycode texts), graphic elements do not violate the semantic coherence of the text and enhance the impact on the recipient.
The selected material, German zoo guidebooks of the Vienna, Berlin, Hanover and Leipzig zoos (from 1951 to 2013, 26 exemplars), is particularly interesting in view of the research situation. German zoo guidebooks are characterized by the diversity of formats that are non-verbal symptoms of changes in the zoo. Various formats (narrowed, extended, portrait, landscape format) of German zoo guidebooks appear as non-verbal symptoms of the anniversary of the founding and conceptual changes of the zoo; through the format, even in the absence of language elements and photos on the cover, it is possible to set the years that are historically important in the formation of the zoo. The dominance of the image over the linguistic elements on the cover performs an attractive function and forms the expectation of a large number of photos in the text of the zoo guidebooks. Important elements of the cover are the logo as a distinctive sign of the zoo and collocations. The cover creates the first impression not only about the guide, but also the zoo (guide as information tool about the institution), motivates to buy a guide and visit the zoo, so the importance of language and graphics of guide covers is difficult to overestimate. The preferred use of the name “Zooführer” instead of “Führer” emphasizes the author's identification of the zoo guidebook genre.

NOTES ON GENUS SYSTEM AND GENUS INHERENCE PERSONAL NOMINA IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN
Authors: Milutin Michael
Published: July 2022

In Contemporary Transnational German (CTG) there is no biological and linguistically consistent congruency alongside of genders. Usually three genders are defined in German: masculine, feminine, and neuter. However, there is also a distinctive Common gender, and many Epicenes can be found in German as well. Moreover, an additional Dubium, Incertain or Diverse gender may be distinguishable among up to six genders. Word endings in and by themselves don`t reveal grammatical gender thoroughly within current German. In addition, you have to consider set theoretical aspects, intersections and certain propositional connectives. Different aspects of German nouns, selected distinctions and relations between gender inherence and grammatical German gender on the other hand are addressed here from a systematic point of view.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Diabetic foot is one of the most important chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. In this study, the aim was to investigate the healing effect of dressing with geraniol material obtained from rose oil. Materials and Methods: The experimental period of the study was carried out between June 2, 2016, and 27, 2016. Sprague-Dawley rats were used and three experimental, two control groups were formed. In the study conducted with a total of 40 rats, each group consisted of eight rats. Geraniol dressing, isotonic wet dressing, and hydrocolloid wound dressing were applied topically once a day to the first, second, and third groups, respectively. No dressing was applied to the positive and negative control groups. Index of oxidative stress of wound healing was assessed by total antioxidant status/total oxidant status measurements. Results: Due to the macroscopic results, it was determined that wound score was significantly decreased on day 3 in the first group and non-diabetic groups compared with other groups. When the microscopic findings were compared with day 0, in the first group, significant decrease of the level of collagen density and epithelization was observed on day 10. In the first group, increase in fat cells had become significant than other groups. In the CD34, SMA and vimentin staining, the first group showed superiority to other dressings. In the last measurements, the highest drop was seen in geraniol dressed and negative control groups. Conclusion: According to the study, geraniol dressed group provided similar wound healing with negative control group and showed superiority to the other products used as a standard in wound care.
Soluble ST2 and its relation to inflammatory, vascular atherosclerotic, and calcification markers in patients with atrial fibrillation or heart failure at moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk

Published: July 2022

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of death globally. Among them, heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) result in poor prognosis and quality of life. Standard methods for assessing AF and HF, through history and physical examination, have limited sensitivity and specificity, which lead to delayed diagnosis and high risk of mortality. The identification of biomarkers able to detect the early stages of disease and/or their progression is of great importance for improving the clinical outcome. As AF and HF often coexist, it would be of great importance to find a biomarker with diagnostic utility in predicting HF in AF patients. Soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) is a part of the cardioprotective IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway and may serve as a candidate biomarker for HF and AF. We aimed to evaluate sST2 serum levels in patients with AF and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and to explore potential relationships with traditional CVD risk factors and with novel biomarkers for vascular calcification such as undercarboxylated matrix Gla-protein (ucMGP). Materials and Methods: This study included 99 patients stratified into three groups: HFpEF (n=19), paroxysmal or persistent AF in sinus rhythm (n=33), and control group without CVD but at moderate-to-high CVD risk (n=47). Hemodynamic and anthropometric measures, coronary artery calcification (CAC), routine laboratory parameters, circulating ucMGP, and sST2 were measured. Results: sST2 levels were highly elevated in HFpEF patients. Significant positive correlation was found between sST2 and CAC-score (r=0.237, p=0.039), negative relations with serum lipids in AF patients, and positive association with serum C-reactive protein (r=0.609, p=0.018) in HFpEF patients. Soluble ST2 positively correlates with ucMGP in the entire studied population (r=0.252, p=0.006) and in the combined CVD group (AF+HFpEF) (r=0.254, p=0.036). Conclusions: sST2 levels emerge as a novel biomarker in CVD and may have prognostic importance for HF prediction in AF patients.
A MATÉRIA ÉPICA DO CORDEL EM LEANDRO GOMES DE BARROS
Authors: Santos Simão Pedro dos
Published: July 2022

O cordel épico, como toda narrativa natureza do gênero épico, proporciona ao leitor incursionar pelo universo mítico, mediante ações de um herói, com vistas àafirmação de um povo. O leitor, por seu lado, ao identificar e se identificar com esse ideal, se ver representado, se reconhece e ao seu povo como nação livre, independente. De outra feita, é importante salientar que para reter esse caráter de poema épico, o cordel há de trazer à trama, além da instância mítica, àquela que revela o fato, a história, que sustentará a realidade e, consequentemente, os foros de narrativa épica. Para subsidiar nossas argumentações recorreremos a (Silva, 1984), por sua abordagem quanto aos estudos de narrativa épica. Buscaremos suporte ainda em (Silva & Ramalho, 2007), que enfatizam a condição dos planos heroico e maravilhoso em seus estudos, além de abordagem em (Staiger, 1969) com sua visão aristotélica de epopeia. (Cascudo, 1978) e (Romero, 1982) serão apoio no que refere à cultura popular, especialmente, à literatura popular com ênfase nos estudos de cordel insertos no âmbito dessa cultura. O texto épico desta reflexão é Batalha de Oliveiros com Ferrabraz, de Leandro Gomes de Barros, que não representa, propriamente, um canto nacional.Palavras-chaves: Cordel, poema épico, mito, cultura popular, herói

As línguas estrangeiras ocupam na agenda dos Estados modernos europeus e pós-coloniais como o Brasil um lugar de importância. A francofonia e a anglofoniacomo novas formas do império da França e da Inglaterra significam a defesa da internacionalização da língua e da cultura a partir de uma realidade sociolinguística que é fruto da história, em especial da história colonial. Do universalismo francês ao conceito de novo império inglês, passando pelo pragmatismo americano, muitas representações estrangeiras chegaram ao Brasil. Esta intervenção toma como mote as ideias de França e de Inglaterra nos usos políticos e culturais de suas línguas em peças legislativas, na historiografia literária mas também a partir dos discursos de brasileiros e portugueses produzidos em pesquisa de campo sobre a relação com o saber linguístico de estudantes, professores e curiosos da língua e cultura de línguafrancesa e/ou inglesa.Palavras-chave: Francofilia.

A percepção dos servidores de uma universidade pública acerca do princípio da legalidade
Authors: Silva Denise Erthal da , Tedeschi Marcos Antonio
Published: July 2022

O princípio da legalidade é uma conquista jurídica e social expressa não apenas na Constituição de 1988, mas também nos diversos tratados internacionais. No entanto, mesmo sendo um princípio das sociedades democráticas, ainda surgem alguns aspectos perceptivos, praticamente hermenêuticos sobre a compreensão e o conceito de legalidade. Desta forma, estudos que possam compreender sobre esta percepção contribuem não só para o reconhecimento, mas também, para formulação de ações que possam trazer uma sociedade democrática efetiva. Dentro do serviço público questiona-se: qual é a percepção dos Técnicos Administrativos de uma Universidade Federal acerca do princípio da legalidade? Com a finalidade de observar o objeto da pesquisa, foram enviados questionários, de forma aleatória, para o e-mail institucional de 10 (dez) servidores públicos da referida universidade. No que tange ao problema que orientou a reflexão pode-se observar a percepção sobre o princípio da legalidade nos atos administrativos praticados por eles, e, por seus colegas.

Published: July 2022

Com realização do mapeamento do conhecimento dentro da organização ou do desenvolvimento do processo de criação dele, se avança para a etapa do processo de compartilhamento ou de disseminação do conhecimento dentro de um segmento, no caso a biotecnologia. No entanto, existem diversas resistências apresentadas pelos funcionários e dificuldades de percepção dos executivos, que necessitam ser alteradas para possibilitar a implementação da gestão do conhecimento e a disseminação entre todos os membros da organização. Entre as dificuldades no compartilhamento do conhecimento, tem-se que a principal delas está vinculada à questão que associa conhecimento a poder. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo visou responder: qual a importância do compartilhamento do conhecimento em biotecnologia dentro de uma Sociedade do Conhecimento? Tendo como objetivo trazer uma reflexão, ainda que introdutória, sobre a importância do compartilhamento do conhecimento em biotecnologia dentro de uma Sociedade do Conhecimento. Para isso, utilizou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica. Como resultados, considera-se que o pensamento tradicional que sempre considerou que o funcionário que possui o conhecimento, detém o poder, bem como este garante sua empregabilidade e sua sobrevivência na organização. Desta forma, o ambiente de trabalho precisa apoiar a aplicação do conhecimento novo e estimular, tanto indivíduos quanto grupos, a acessarem os ativos intelectuais. No entanto, diversas são as possibilidades disponíveis para que uma organização melhore a circulação e distribuição do conhecimento entre seus colaboradores envolvidos em biotecnologia, no intento de assegurar que a informação necessária chegue a todos os cantos da organização com eficiência e eficácia. Acerca da biotecnologia, a organização precisa investir em comunicação e em espaços (formal e informal) de convivência para seus pesquisadores (as).

Published: July 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir como a saúde mental pode se relacionar com o suporte social, no contexto vivenciado por estudantes universitários. A metodologia foi mista, com uma primeira etapa quantitativa e uma segunda qualitativa. Aplicou-se 138 questionários considerados válidos, com jovens (18-29 anos), universitários, oriundos de regiões rurais, da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), campus Sobral. Os questionários utilizados foram dois: A Escala de Percepção de Suporte Social versão e Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Na segunda etapa foram realizadas 12 entrevistas. As analisas realizadas foram do tipo descritivas, Teste T e análises de Regressão. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas de acordo com a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que quanto menos o suporte social, maior a probabilidade de ocorrência de sentimentos depressivos. Desta forma, quanto mais o aluno sentir apoio em suas relações sociais, isso inclui família, amigos, parceiros e professores, maior sua satisfação com a vida e melhores serão seus níveis de saúde mental. Por fim, considera-se que o acesso à política estudantil é uma fonte de suporte institucional que potencializa os jovens perante as dificuldades provenientes da pobreza e do adoecimento mental.

Authors: Kaplan Marcella , Heaslip Kevin
Published: July 2022

This study analyzed community resiliency by evaluating access to essential delivery services before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from October 2020 to September 2021 in a stated-preference survey about delivery services in Southwest Virginia. A significantly larger proportion of respondents without vehicle access relied on third-party restaurant app delivery use than those with a vehicle. Compared to more urban areas, respondents who lived in rural locations were three times more unsatisfied with delivery services due to a lack of accessibility to stores and delivery options.

Published: July 2022

Bu çalışmanın konusu genel çerçevede Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’nde İngilizce öğretimini ele alıp değerlendirmektir. Söz konusu değerlendirme, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin ders denetimi ve denetmenlerle ilgili görüşleri betimlenerek gerçekleştirilmiştir. Dolayısıyla İngilizce öğretimine, denetim konusu temelinde yaklaşıp değerlendirme yapmak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın problem cümlesi, “KKTC’de görev yapan İngilizce öğretmenlerinin ders denetimi ve denetmenlere ilişkin görüşleri nelerdir?” şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Bu tezde nitel araştırma yaklaşımı temel alınmıştır. Çalışmada durum çalışması modeli temel alınmıştır. Amaçlı örneklemenin alt türlerinden ikisi, maksimum çeşitlilik ve kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi temelinde araştırmanın katılımcıları belirlenmiştir. Buna göre araştırmacının katılımcıları KKTC Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı 6 ilçede ortaöğretim kademesinde görev yapan 23 İngilizce öğretmenidir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüş formu kullanılmış ve veriler içerik analizi ile elde edilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın en dikkat çeken sonucu İngilizce öğretmenlerinin ders denetimine yönelik görüşlerinin bariz bir şekilde olumsuz olmasıdır. Olumsuz görüşler arasında denetimin hiç yapılmaması, denetmen yeterliğinden kaynaklı sorunlar olması, sadece adaylık döneminde denetim yapılması ve denetimin kötü bir şeymiş gibi algılanması KKTC’deki durumun ne kadar olumsuz olduğunu göstermektedir. Denetmenlerin İngilizce öğretmenlerinin en çok mesleki becerilerini denetledikleri ortaya çıkmıştır.

Küresel bir sinema endüstrisi olarak Hollywood’un tarihçesi 19. yüzyıla değin uzanmaktadır. Global pazardaki lider konumunu ise 20. yüzyıldan itibaren elde etmiş, böylece dünya genelinde başat bir role sahip olmuştur. Özellikle İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından farklı etnik kökenlerin ideolojik ve kültürel değerlerine de yer veren Amerikan sineması, ürün yelpazesini genişleterek her sınıf ya da kesime sinematik perspektifte kendini ifade edebilme imkanı tanımıştır. Bunlardan biri olan Afro-fütürizm, Afrika ve Afrika diasporasının geleceğini yeniden tasavvur eden bir akımdır. Bu akıma sinema, edebiyat, görsel sanatlar ve popüler müzik gibi pek çok alanda rastlanmaktadır. Alternatif bir dünyanın hayal edildiği Afro-fütürist sanat hareketinde bilim kurgu, fantezi ve siber kültür (teknoloji) aracılığı ile ulusal sınırlar ortadan kaldırılarak bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki dönüşüm ütopyanın merkezine yerleştirilir. Bu bağlamda çalışma boyunca, Afro-fütürizmin Hollywood üzerindeki felsefi ve estetik mit biçimlerine olan etkisi incelenmiş, Afro-fütürist projenin özündeki sinematik kodların neler olduğu açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
SİNEMA VE TELEVİZYONDA YENİ BİR KADIN HAREKETİ: ARABESKİN ÂŞIK KADINLARI

Arabeskin Âşık Kadınları isimli belgesel dizi, ötekileştirilen, görünür oldukları hâlde görmezden gelinerek sömürülen arabesk kadın şarkıcıların dezavantajlı yaşam öykülerini ve suskunluklarının sebeplerini anlatmaktadır. Dizide aktarılan kadınların hikâyesi, madunun suskunluğuna örnek teşkil etmektedir. Hikâyenin yine erkek çoğunluğun üretiminde duyulur ve görünür olması, şarkıcıların içselleştirilmiş maduniyetini yansıtan, üzerinde düşünülmesi gereken bir konudur. Dizi, içerik olarak cinsiyet eksenli adaletsiz sömürü düzenini anlatıyor olmasına karşın madunun konuşmasına olanak sağlayan yapının erkek üretiminde ve kontrolünde olması toplumsal yapıyla örtüştüğünden, madunun gerçekten konuşup konuşmadığı sorgulanmalıdır. Her bölümünde madun, doğrudan kendisi ya da yakınları aracılığıyla “konuşturulduğu”, kimlik olarak merkezde olduğu hâlde, içerik ve mekân hâkimiyetinin erkeklik kurgusundan kazanıldığı ve kaybedildiği dizi mecrasında Arabeskin Âşık Kadınları, “hegemonik erkeklik” üretimi bir yapım olarak feminist içeriğini ve iddiasını korumaya çalışır. Bu bağlamda madunun erkek egemen yapıda konuşabilme imkânı/imkânsızlığı ve ölçüleri açısından dizi önemli bir boşluğu doldurmasına karşın, o boşluğu bir kez daha oluşturur.

Ægifögur reiði. Um guðfræði og fagurfræði eldgosa
Authors: Antonsson Atli

Útdráttur

Það virðist vera nokkuð algeng skoðun að viðhorf Íslendinga til eldgosa í aldanna rás hafi að mestu leyti einkennst af raunhyggju og pragmatisma en í minna mæli af goðsögum og yfirnáttúrulegum skýringum. Þessa skoðun má setja í samhengi við upplýsinguna sem meðal annars hafði það að markmiði að berjast gegn bábiljum alþýðunnar. Ákveðin þversögn felst í því að upplýsingin hefði líklega verið óþörf ef goðsögur og yfirnáttúrulegar skýringar hefðu verið víkjandi viðhorf. Í þessari grein verða þessi viðhorf sem hafa verið talin víkjandi könnuð nánar. Bornar eru saman tvær tegundir texta um eldgos, annars vegar ritgerðir
kristinna höfunda frá 17. og 18. öld og hins vegar ljóð nokkurra 19. aldar skálda um eldgos. Frægasta dæmið um hina kristnu eldgosaumræðu er að finna í eldriti Jóns Steingrímssonar en slíkar túlkanir má finna víðar. Gerð er grein fyrir þessum kristnu túlkunum á eldgosum og síðan eru færð rök fyrir því að í ljóðum 19. aldar skálda um eldgos megi greina enduróm af kristnum og heiðnum trúarhugmyndum. Í þessu samhengi mætti ýmist tala um afhelgun trúarlegra hugmynda eða að í ljóðum rómantísku skáldanna sé að finna viðleitni til að endurhelga náttúruna.

Abstract
It is a common notion that Icelanders’ perception of volcanic eruptions has over the centuries first and foremost been characterized by realism and pragmatism, but to a lesser extent by myths and supernatural explanations. This notion can be seen in the context of the Enlightenment which, among other things, aimed at fighting superstition among the population. Paradoxically, the Enlightenment would most likely have been unnecessary if myths and supernatural explanations had been subordinate perspectives. In this article, the perspectives, which until now have been considered subordinate, will be carefully examined. Two types of texts about volcanic eruptions are compared, on the one hand, essays by Christian authors from the 17th and 18th centuries and, on the other hand, poems about volcanic eruptions written by 19th century poets. The most famous examples of Christian ideas about volcanoes are in Jón Steingrímsson’s writings on the Laki eruption, while such interpretations can also be found elsewhere. These Christian interpretations of eruptions are described, and it is argued that 19th-century poems about eruptions contain echoes of Christian as well as pagan religious ideas. In this context, one could either speak of the
secularization of religious ideas or that poetry of the 19th century poets represents efforts to re-enchant nature.
marxismo como teoria social crítica, a pesquisa e o ensino de história
Authors: Queiroz Fábio José Cavalcanti de
Published: July 2022

Neste artigo, analisamos o marxismo como teoria social crítica e recuperamos experiências nas quais o legado marxista mostrou-se efetivo como ferramenta nos terrenos do ensino e da pesquisa histórica. Nessa perspectiva, ressaltamos que dificilmente os fatos históricos recentes podem prescindir da teoria e dos métodos de abordagens do marxismo. Para a História, a concepção de Marx parece representar uma ferramenta de ampla utilidade, não apenas no que toca à especificidade do ensino, mas, também, no que concerne ao seu reconhecimento como fator relevante junto à comunidade de pesquisadores
