Trust shaping the social relationship of diverse learners in the online education environment
Authors: Kanaris Margarida E. , Mujtaba Bahaudin G.
Published: December 2023

Trust is an essential glue that binds diverse groups toward working synergistically. Without trust, it becomes more challenging to achieve engagement and an inclusive environment for learning. As such, this study is about methods of engaging virtual learners and remote workers through teamwork and the building of social relationships in today’s digital and diverse world of higher education. This research specifically focuses on trust to build a better learning environment in online education. Qualitative, open-ended interviewing is used to explore 30 learners’ emergent, interactive, and social construction of trust. Data from the responsive interviews were subjected to several levels of analysis to elicit findings and interpretations. The analysis sheds light on whether learners learn best if they are given a common goal to work interdependently. Sociability is often skipped to achieve outcomes that are common to all group members. Failure to communicate effectively commonly results in a breach of trust, but learners can re-engage in social learning by explaining their behavior. However, repeated breaches of trust, especially among diverse teammates, can cause irreparable damage to the outcome. Implications and recommendations are discussed.

Authors: Sari Mutiara , Kusumawati R , Pane Yunita , Sufitni Sufitni
Published: December 2023

Background: As broad-spectrum antibiotics can cause antimicrobial resistance in sepsis, there is the need for a complementary therapy to combat sepsis. Oxidative stress causes an increased severity and mortality in sepsis, whereas herbal medicines have been considered as an option due to its antioxidant potential. Coleus amboinicus Lour. has been documented for its therapeutic value due to the presence of flavonoid, an antioxidant compound. Objective: To study the effect of Coleus amboinicus Lour. leaf extract on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and hepatic catalase (CAT) levels in septic rat model. Methods: Twenty-eight male Rattus norvegicus rats were divided into four groups: control (rats without sepsis induction and treatment), group 1 (septic rats treated with antibiotics), group 2 (septic rats treated with antibiotics and 250 mg/kg body weight of Coleus amboinicus Lour. leaf extract), and group 3 (septic rats treated with antibiotics and 500 mg/kg body weight of Coleus amboinicus Lour. leaf extract). The rats were sacrificed at the end of the eighth day of observation, and blood and liver tissues were gathered for examination.Results: Compared to the septic rat groups treated with only antibiotics, there was an increase in the TAC levels and CAT expression levels in septic rat groups given antibiotics and Coleus amboinicus Lour. leaf extract. However, the increase was not significant. Conclusion: Administering Coleus amboinicus Lour. leaf extract increases TAC levels and CAT expression levels in sepsis, decreasing oxidative stress. This will exert protective effects in the cells and therefore alleviate sepsis.

Published: December 2023

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a health problem in Indonesia, where its prevalence rises annually. The condition may negatively impact one's quality of life and lead to significant complications—over 50% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the most common diabetes type worldwide. To implement diabetic prevention interventions and achieve effective diabetes mellitus control, screening for undiagnosed diabetes mellitus in high-risk populations is essential. Objective: This study aimed to identify people at risk for undiagnosed diabetes mellitus using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out, which involved 300 people in Medan City between the ages of 30-75. The study was conducted between July 14 and October 20, 2020. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and waist circumference) were used to evaluate each respondent. Low, medium, and high-risk outcome categories were created. All responders underwent oral glucose tolerance tests, with results classified as normal, prediabetes, or diabetes. The Chi-square test was used to examine the data and identify potential risk variables for diabetes mellitus. Results: Of 300 individuals, 91.7% were female, and 8.3% were male. 33.7% of participants had a low risk of acquiring diabetes, 55.0% had an intermediate risk, and 11.3% had a high risk. 70% of participants who took an oral glucose tolerance test had blood glucose levels that were normal (less than 100 mg/dl), 18.7% had blood glucose levels suggestive of prediabetes (between 100 and 125 mg/dl), and 11.3% had blood glucose levels suggestive of diabetes (126 mg/dl or higher). Ages 54 to 64 years and older, high body mass index and central obesity, a lack of vegetables and fruits in the daily diet, inactivity, uncontrolled hypertension, a history of hyperglycemia, and a family history of diabetes were all linked to a significant increase in the risk of developing diabetes. Most respondents at low risk of developing type 2 diabetes had normal blood sugar levels, while those at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes had high blood glucose levels (p = 0.005). Conclusion: Oral glucose tolerance testing and the FINDRISC questionnaire may be used to identify individuals who are at high risk for developing diabetes and to encourage them to adopt healthy behaviours.

Published: December 2023

Background: Polypharmacy, or the routine use of five or more medications, can result in impacting patients' quality of life. Objective: to examine the association between multi-morbidities and polypharmacy, and to examine prescription practices in the elderly. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Data were gathered from electronic medical records (EMR) at King Fahad University Hospital (KFHU) and the Family & Community Medicine Center (FCMC) of Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU), between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. We included individuals aged 60 and above with at least one dispensed prescription in 2019 and 2020. Of the 76,216 patient records reviewed, 5,060 met the inclusion criteria. Polypharmacy was defined as a monthly average of five or more prescribed medications. The prevalence of polypharmacy was calculated by year, sex, and age group, and findings were summarized using mean medication numbers and standard deviations for each stratum. An app using R programming language was developed to help visualize patients' medication histories through interactive plots. Results: Polypharmacy prevalence was 46% in 2019 and 44.6% in 2020. The mean and standard deviation of medications per person was 5.17 (3.42) in 2019 and 5.04 (3.37) in 2020. Females had a higher average number of medications than males, 5.17 (3.47) vs 5.04 (3.32). The age group of 80-85 had the highest number of medications at 5.6 (3.6), while those aged 90 and above had the lowest number at 4.48 (2.64). The presence of comorbidities was positively associated with the mean monthly medication count (P value < 0.01). Conclusion: Our study revealed a high prevalence of polypharmacy among elderly patients at KFHU/FCMC, and a positive association with multi-morbidities. Consequently, measures must be taken to mitigate this globally emerging issue's impact and rapid progression.
An unusual case of upper airways obstruction: What if it's not asthma?
Authors: Scaramozzino Marco Umberto , Nassisi Veronica , Sapone Giovanni
Published: December 2023

Tracheal stenosis poses a diagnostic challenge that can mimic other respiratory pathologies, particularly bronchial asthma. It is characterized by a narrowing of the tracheal lumen, leading to respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and wheezing. However, these manifestations can overlap with those of bronchial asthma, making the differential diagnosis a challenging yet crucial task for an appropriate therapeutic approach. This study aimsed to underscore the importance of a comprehensive clinical approach, using bronchoscopy and global spirometry with bronchodilator reversibility testing, to differentiate tracheal stenosis from bronchial asthma, thereby contributing to accurate and timely surgical treatment. Bronchoscopy stands as a cornerstone in investigating tracheal stenosis, allowing for a direct assessment of the site, extent, and nature of the stenosis. Endoscopic observation of the morphological characteristics of the stenosis, such as concentric narrowing or mucosal irregularities, can guide precise diagnosis. Asthma, characterized by reversible bronchial obstruction, responds positively to bronchodilators, compared with a minimal response in the context of tracheal stenosis.

Contemporary Issues in the Provisions of Neighborhood
Authors: Fakher Ali
Published: December 2023

In light of the significant development in various fields in our recent time and the occurrence of contemporary emerging issues in the relationship between neighbours and the disputes that may result from them, this research titled "Contemporary Issues in the Rulings on Neighborhood" came to treat the contemporary issues in the rulings on neighbourhood and study them through an Islamic perspective by establishing, drawing inference and explaining their rulings and the sayings of contemporary scholars regarding them, explaining their jurisprudential description. The research also aims to benefit specialised researchers and others by dealing with emerging contemporary jurisprudential issues. This research adopted an inductive approach by searching for contemporary emerging issues in the rulings on neighborhood and the problems that arise from them, and a deductive and analytical approach by deducting the reasons for the Islamic rulings mentioned by the jurists in the rulings on neighbourhood and measuring the contemporary emerging issues on them and giving them the correct jurisprudential description. Among the most important findings of the research is that a neighbour has the right to use his property without harming the neighbour. From the Islamic perspective, a neighbourly relationship is a solid relationship based on kindness. The right of the neighbour in Islam forbids transgression against him. The research recommended the importance of studying contemporary emerging issues that are frequently needed, especially in the aspect of transactions with others, such as those that occur between neighbours in the house and other transactions.
The Scope of Mortgagee’s Protection in the Contract of Mortgage of Movables Registered in the Saudi System
Authors: Aldehimi Ali
Published: December 2023

The study investigates the protection of the mortgagee of movables, focusing on the absence of possession of the mortgaged item and its replacement with the publicizing of the mortgage contract through registration in the unified register of rights over movable property. Additionally, the study explores the regulations that have expanded the scope of registered mortgages on movables, encompassing a majority of them. It examines the system's role in providing necessary protection for the mortgagee, allowing the mortgagor to possess the mortgaged movable. This process begins with the registration of the mortgage contract, continues during the term phase, and concludes with implementation at maturity when the debtor breaches their obligation. Consequently, the study assesses the system's efficacy in protecting the mortgagee, dividing the research into two chapters based on the two periods of the mortgage. The first chapter concentrates on the systemic protection of the mortgagee before the maturity of the debt, while the second addresses the period after maturity. The research concludes with a set of important results and recommendations.

Efficacy of enhanced extracorporeal counterpulsation combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of cognitive impairment after stroke
Authors: Duan Yan , Tang Hui-Xia
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Cerebral apoplexy patients are prone to cognitive impairment, and it is very important to choose appropriate treatment methods to improve their cognitive impairment after stroke.

AIM

To evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) in conjunction with atorvastatin on cognitive function, neurotransmitter levels, and the repair of brain tissue damage in patients with cognitive impairment due to stroke.

METHODS

In this retrospective study, data from 60 patients with poststroke cognitive impairment due to stroke who were treated in our hospital from February 2021 to July 2022 were analyzed and divided into a treatment group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30) according to the different nursing methods applied. Patients in the treatment group received EECP in addition to atorvastatin, while those in the control group received atorvastatin alone. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and activities of daily living (ADL) scale scores were compared between the two groups. Additionally, the two groups were compared in terms of serum acetylcholine (ACh), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) in the serum. Blood flow measurements from the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) of each artery were determined.

RESULTS

MMSE, MoCA, and ADL scores all improved in both groups following treatment, with the study group showing more improvement than the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, there were statistically significant increases in both ACh and NO levels, whereas decreases occurred in AChE, ET-1, β2-MG, VILIP-1, and GFAP, levels and the PI and RI of the left-ACA, right-ACA, left-MCA, right-MCA, left-PCA, and right-PCA. The study group showed greater gains in all metrics than the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

EECP combined with atorvastatin is effective in the treatment of cognitive impairment after stroke and can effectively improve the cognitive function, neurotransmitter levels, and brain tissue damage status of patients.

A REVIEW: Combustion Detection System
Authors:   Genba Sopan Rao Moze College of Engineering Balewadi,Pune-411045,Maharashtra,India, Kambale Prof.Supriya
Published: December 2023

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have yielded state-of-the-art performance in image classification and other computer vision tasks. Their application in fire detection systems will substantially improve detection accuracy, which will eventually minimize fire disasters and reduce the ecological and social ramifications. However, the major concern with CNN- based fire detection systems is their implementation in real-world surveillance networks, due to their high memory and computational requirements for inference. In this paper, we propose an original, energy-friendly, and computationally efficient CNN architecture, inspired by the SqueezeNet architecture for fire detection, localization, and semantic understanding of the scene of the fire. It uses smaller convolutional kernels and contains no dense, fully connected layers, which helps keep the computational requirements to a minimum. Despite its low computational needs, the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed solution achieves accuracies that are comparable to other, more complex models, mainly due to its increased depth. Moreover, this paper shows how a tradeoff can be reached between fire detection accuracy and efficiency, by considering the specific characteristics of the problem of interest and the variety of fire data. Fire is the main reason due to which environment is suffering through this much loss of forests, animals and many more. To solve this problem, we need to create a strong system for elaboration. In contemporary society, the prevalence of fires poses a significant threat to safety and infrastructure. To address this challenge, we propose the development of a Machine Learning- based Combustion Detecting System tailored for industrial environments Index Terms - Fire detection, CNN, Image Classification, Data Collection, Data Preprocessing, Model Training, Image Processing

Published: December 2023

The sustainable development according to the United Nation, listed firms throughout globally now routinely provide sustainability data. However, there is not enough information on Sustainability Performance Quality (SPQ) in the majority of emerging economies, including Malaysia. This study looks at how the SPQ of the top 100 Malaysian-listed businesses is affected by factors as connected with corporate governance (e.g., board meeting, board size, and board ethnic diversity). Utilizing 500 firm-year data, a longitudinal sample of 500 nonfinancial firms on the Bursa Malaysia for 2015-2019 is employed in this study. The findings from the analysis using the panel regression demonstrated that: ethnic diversity and board size has a positively significant impacts on SPQ of thee chosen enterprises. However, board meeting has a significant but negative influence. The descriptive study found that the average SPQ is 26%, which has to be improved despite the significant relationship pointing to a development in the calibre of sustainability disclosures. Bursa Malaysia’s necessary regulatory improvements and an effective board might result in this outcome. In addition, the study poses to develop a policy for the firms, stakeholders, government and regulators so as to rise the disclosure standard of corporate sustainability. Also, gaps are filled in the study by providing empirical evidences and new insights on the significance of board meeting, board ethnic diversity, and board size in the Malaysian firms’ sustainability disclosure – with the least attention for empirical research.

Authors: Munmun Mousumi , Zhang Dongli , Luo Charles C.
Published: December 2023

While experiencing robust growth in recent years, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending still faces the serious challenge of a high default rate. This study argues that it is beneficial to analyze P2P lending from a process improvement perspective. Adopting an integrative literature review method, this study identifies and summarizes the characteristics of P2P lending and then maps them to the fundamental lean attributes. Furthermore, this research proposes detailed application suggestions for reducing loan default rates in terms of understanding customer needs, value stream, information flow, pull approach, and continuous improvement. As an early attempt, mapping P2P lending characteristics and lean principles allows P2P lending to learn the well-established quality improvement practices from lean management. This study contributes to both P2P lending performance improvement and applications of lean management.

Procjena centra mase pritom ima važnu ulogu u razumijevanju izloženosti šumskih radnika posturalnim i profesionalnim rizicima, bilo kao dio cjelokupnoga procesa rada ili kao dio pojedinoga elementa radne tehnike. U skladu s tim cilj ovoga istraživanja sastoji se u određivanju položaja centra mase radnika s motornom pilom s obzirom na tri ključna radna elementa pri sječi stabala (izvođenje zasjeka, izvođenje završnoga reza i zabijanje klina sjekirom) te njegove povezanosti s osobnim i profesionalnim čimbenicima. Za mjerenje položaja centra mase (n = 28 šumskih radilišta, što ujedno čini 28 uzorkovanih radnika) korišteno je odijelo za snimanje pokreta Xsens MVN Link kao vrhunska tehnologija koja omogućuje prikupljanje podataka u stvarnim terenskim uvjetima. Za analizu snimljenih podataka primijenjene su deskriptivne i inferencijalne statističke metode. Promatrani profesionalni čimbenici (metoda rada, model gospodarenja i prsni promjer stabla) i osobni čimbenici (životna dob, visina i indeks tjelesne mase) rezultirali su statistički značajnom razlikom u pogledu izmjerenih vrijednosti centra mase. Na osnovi svega navedenoga daljnja kinematička istraživanja u šumarstvu trebala bi pridonijeti jačemu uključivanju rješenja Industrije 5.0 u sječu i izradu drva, posebno u ručno-strojni rad, primjenom tehnologija virtualne stvarnosti tijekom obuke radnika ili primjenom najnovijih tehnoloških rješenja u smislu jačanja ljudskoga rada s jedne strane te povećanja sigurnosti i zaštite zdravlja s druge strane.
Usporedba dobiti energije kogeneracijskoga postrojenja i proizvodnje drvnih peleta

Published: December 2023

U radu se prikazuje proces proizvodnje toplinske i električne energije u kogeneracijskom postrojenju te proces proizvodnje drvnih peleta. Cilj je ovoga rada analizirati dobit energije (EROI) od energenata koji nastaju kao proizvod sadržan u toplinskoj i električnoj energiji te energiji koja je sadržana u drvnim peletima. Prema dobivenim rezultatima proizvodnja samo električne energije iz drvne biomase u kogeneracijskom postrojenju nije isplativa s energijske točke gledišta jer je dobivena električna energija tek 1,43 puta veća od uložene energije drva (EROIel = 1,43 : 1). Dobivena je toplinska energija 4,38 puta veća od uložene energije drva (EROItopl = 4,38 : 1), dok je dobivena energija kod proizvedenih drvnih peleta 4,81 puta veća od uložene energije drva (EROIpel = 4,81 : 1). Takav dobitak energije u proizvodnji toplinske energije u kogeneracijskom postrojenju i drvnih peleta energijski je isplativ, ali je višestruko nepovoljniji u odnosu na upotrebu drvne sječke, a posebice u odnosu na upotrebu kratko cijepanoga drva u kotlovima za dobivanje samo toplinske energije. Drvo je obnovljiv izvor energije i njegovom ekonomičnom upotrebom može se stvoriti značajan energijski dobitak, ali zbog trenda upotrebe obnovljivih izvora energije i sve veće potrebe za električnom energijom takav je način dobivanja električne energije financijski isplativ, iako on nije opravdan s gledišta energijske isplativosti.

VN-verdrag Handicap en de eigen betalingen en eigen bijdragen in het Nederlandse zorgsysteem

Dit artikel onderzoekt de stapeling van zorgkosten voor mensen met een beperking. Waar bestaat deze stapeling uit, hoe ontstaat de stapeling en hoeverre ondervinden mensen met een levenslange en levensbrede beperking hier last van? Dit wordt uitgelegd aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de praktijk. Vervolgens gaat het artikel in op hoe deze stapeling van zorgkosten zich verhoudt tot het VN-verdrag Handicap. Het VN-verdrag Handicap geeft in diverse artikelen een kader voor participatie in de samenleving. Dat gaat onder andere over het recht op persoonlijke assistentie en wie de kosten daarvan moet dragen. Waartoe is de overheid verplicht in de ondersteuning van mensen met een beperking? Is het passend dat hoge zorgkosten in verband met een handicap of chronische ziekte voor eigen rekening komen? Het artikel sluit af met een beantwoording van de vraag: ‘wat is er nodig om de eventuele onrechtvaardigheden veroorzaakt door het systeem, op te heffen.’
COMPRESSIVE REVIEW ON MEDHA (COGNITIVE ABILITIES) AND ITS RELATION WITH DOSAS AND DHATUS
Authors: S.K. Danga , Goje S.  , A.B Patil , C.M. Gulhane
Published: December 2023

In Ayurveda, "Medha" encompasses intellect, linked to the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) the Sapta dhatu, Agni, Prakriti, Ahara and diseass. Maintaining dosha balance, particularly Vata, supports mental clarity. Nourishing Meda through a balanced diet and herbs like Brahmi enhances cognitive function. Pitta influences intellect, while practices like meditation and yoga aid Medha. Digestive fire (Agni) is vital for nutrient transformation, crucial for Medha. Overall, Ayurveda emphasizes lifestyle, dietary choices, and herbal interventions to optimize Medha, promoting a holistic approach to cognitive well-being. In modern terms, cognitive functions encompass processes like learning, memory, and decision-making. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and dietary interventions with cognitive-supportive nutrients align with holistic approaches to enhance cognitive well-being. Recognizing the mind-body connection remains a key aspect, integrating Ayurvedic insights with evidence-based strategies for comprehensive cognitive health.

Published: December 2023

Célkitűzés: Kutatásunk során összehasonlítottuk az országos táplálkozási és tápláltsági állapot vizsgálatok eredményeivel a magyar nők várandósság előtti testtömegindexét. A vizsgálat módszere: A keresztmetszeti vizsgálatot 2020. január 1. és 2020. augusztus 1. között végeztük. A nem véletlenszerű, célirányos, szakértői mintaválasztás során a célcsoportba várandósok vagy a legalább egy kiskorú gyermeket nevelő édesanyák kerültek be (N=1423). Kizárási kritériumnak számított a kötelező kérdések kihagyása. Felmérésünk online formában, önkitöltős kérdőívvel, anonim módon történt. A kérdőívben szociodemográfiai, antropometriai, várandóssággal és táplálkozással kapcsolatos kérdéseket alkalmaztunk. Az adatokat IBM SPSS 25.0 statisztikai szoftverrel, leíró statisztikával, gyakoriságtáblák készítésével elemeztük. Eredmények: A normális testtömegindex csak a 20 év alatti korosztályra jellemző (21 kg/m2 ). A 20 évnél idősebbek legnagyobb arányban túlsúlyosak voltak (>25 kg/m2 ). Minden negyedik várandós (43,4%) és minden harmadik (33%) anya arról számolt be, hogy egyáltalán nem zavarja a testtömegtöbblet. Következtetések: A testtömegindex alapján a magyar nők már a várandósságot megelőzően túlsúlyosak, ami fokozott egészségi és anyagi teherrel jár.
Transmetodologia como alternativa epistêmica para diálogo com saberes indígenas tradicionais
Authors: Da Costa Araújo Bryan Chrystian , Maldonado Gomes de la Torre Alberto Efendy
Published: December 2023

Este artigo pensa a perspectiva transmetodológica como alternativa epistêmica para a descolonização do pensamento comunicacional em pesquisas sobre Etnocomunicação Indígena. Levantamos problematizações sobre o status epistemológico dos saberes indígenas frente ao estatuto de cientificidade que ampara o conjunto de conhecimentos coloniais gerados desde as disciplinas acadêmicas. Ponderamos ainda, a necessidade de adoção dos saberes descolonizados em investigações sobre práticas de comunicação indígena. Os resultados desvelam a transmetodologia como corrente possível para reclamar um diálogo horizontal com as cosmologias indígenas.
Repensar a "humanidade"
Authors: Moraes Fabiana , Ijuim Jorge Kanehide
Published: December 2023

As concepções de democracia e humanidade a partir de uma perspectiva ocidental e liberal foram fortemente adotadas pela imprensa brasileira. Assim, ao mesmo tempo que publiciza questões derivadas da desigualdade social do país, esse aparato corteja sistemas econômicos/políticos que agudizam estas mesmas desigualdades. Temos como resultado a continuidade de um discurso sobre humanidade no qual o humano é quase sempre sinônimo de branco, homem e dono de maior capital. Neste artigo, propomos a adoção de humanidade através de leituras interseccionais e não-coloniais pelo jornalismo como formas de superarmos modos de dizer e fazer desumanizantes.

Authors: Rodrigues Lima Tatiana
Published: December 2023

O texto discute abordagens decoloniais da comunicação da música a partir do conceito de amefricanidade. A introdução faz referência à crítica à Modernidade empreendida no Norte Global. No item 1, esboça-se uma arqueologia dos estudos decoloniais e debate-se a categoria político-cultural “amefricanidade”. Em seguida são discutidas metodologias na encruzilhada e abordagens sobre performances. A seção 3 problematiza os estudos comunicacionais da música e defende a cartografia como trilha heurística. Conclui-se elencando algumas ações para decolonizar investigações comunicacionais e musicais.
Da incomunicação à comunicação decolonial
Authors: Esteves Lorena , Cal Danila
Published: December 2023

Analisa-se os sentidos sobre invisibilização e estereotipação mobilizados e construídos por mulheres indígenas participantes do Acampamento Terra Livre 2020. Busca-se ainda compreender como elas resistem simbolicamente a essas colonialidades persistentes, à luz da comunicação decolonial. Como horizonte metodológico, trabalhamos o “desengajamento epistemológico” e a “inversão do olhar”, que desestabilizam noções hegemônicas do fazer científico. Concluímos que as resistências ocorrem a partir da contestação e da necessidade de protagonizar as próprias narrativas, de visibilizar, de externalizar outros saberes, cosmovisões e gramáticas.
