The integration of expressive languages for childhood education
Authors: Naccari Alba Giovanna Anna
Published: December 2024

The recovery of the importance of school, after the suspension due to the covid emergency, sees at the centre of the training activities those that make children active subjects, capable of interacting concretely and creatively. The object of this paper is to describe some elements of how the integration of artistic languages, such as dance-movement, narration, and pictorial-plastic production, represents a significant contribution in this direction as a “left hand pedagogy” centred on imagination and creativity. At the basis of every expressive production there is the creative process that concerns and makes possible the development of our inner world and the increasingly awareness of the perception of the uniqueness of one's own being. These processes are enhanced and implemented by the suitably proposed integration of different languages. In this paper, the above synthetically outlined, I will be discussing a specific method of dance-movement-therapy proposed with a pedagogical method, defined in Italy as symbolic-anthropological. It is an approach tested in different contexts and schools of all levels, in which the different expressive possibilities are proposed in a fluid way in relation to a symbolic theme and to an educational objective. In the workshops in which the positivity of these activities was assessed, it emerged how those activities were particularly appropriate to children's needs. For kindergarten children, the immersive activities of movement, dance, drawing and storytelling, interactively integrated with each other, support: the process of inhabiting the body, perceptive discrimination, the possibility of putting order in one's emotions, the processes connected to the symbolic function and the gradual adaptation to reality. Furthermore, with primary school children, the activities satisfy, among other things, the need to give shape to one's internal world, as well as the need for competence and emotional channelling.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo objetiva investigar a constituição discursiva de identidades emergentes de professores/as de língua materna, em São Luís – MA, por meio de análises de Relatórios de Estágio Supervisionado. A pesquisa se insere no campo da Análise de Discurso Crítica proposta por Chouliaraki e Fairclough (1999), Fairclough (2001, 2003, 2019), que compreendem as formas de ser no mundo em uma perspectiva que mescla elementos linguísticos e sociais. O corpus de investigação é composto por seis (6) relatórios, com dois (2) fragmentos de cada um deles. Para as análises crítico-discursivas, destacou-se o significado identificacional, de Fairclough (2003) e as categorias analíticas modalidade e avaliação, que tratam das formas de identificação em estilos. Diante disso, este estudo se caracteriza metodologicamente quanto aos objetivos como descritivo, quanto aos procedimentos técnicos como documental e quanto à abordagem como qualitativa-interpretativista. Os resultados indicam que as identidades de novos/as professores/as são modalizadas deonticamente "é preciso ser dinâmico e dominar o conteúdo", e epistemicamente “tem se configurado como uma prática enfadonha e descontextualizada", atravessadas, ainda, por graus de subjetivação e polarização. Além disso, as avaliações apresentam marcadores identitários explícitos "é difícil ensinar" e implícitos "não é bom ser tradicional". Os verbos de processo mental como "temer" indicam, em juízo de valor, que ser um professor “autoritário” é indesejável às identidades emergentes. Desse modo, modalidade e avaliação são fenômenos inextricáveis na investigação da identidade e podem colaborar para a compreensão sobre a formação inicial e o futuro da docência em Língua Portuguesa.
Mania divina
Authors: Barbosa Patrícia Lucchesi
Published: December 2024

Aproximem-se um pouco, filhas de Júpiter! Vou demonstrar que o único acesso a essa sabedoria perfeita, a que chamamos a cidadela da felicidade, é através da loucura.
Erasmo, Êloge de la folie.
Resumo: Sócrates, no Fedro, se diz louco por discursos (228b), nos diz também que o vulgo vê o filósofo como louco (parakínon 249d) justamente por não reconhecer que ele está divinamente inspirado. Assim, no Fedro, os maiores bens nos são transmitidos através da loucura (manía), quando são enviados como uma dádiva dos deuses (244a). Contudo, há um tipo de loucura como doença e outro proveniente da liberação divina do comportamento habitualmente aceito (265a). E é esse segundo tipo de loucura que a filosofia promove, uma conexão noética. Há uma quebra de convenções que ocorre por meio do um desvio criativo, que pode ser facilmente confundido com um desvio patológico, mas na realidade é um processo que envolve o conhecimento de si e, por conseguinte, o cuidado de si, portanto uma perspectiva filosófica e terapêutica.
Palavras-chave: Fedro; Mania Divina; Inspiração; Filosofia.
Divine ManiaAbstract: Socrates, in Phaedrus, says he is crazy for speeches (228b), and he tells us as well that common folk see the philosopher as a mad person (parakínon 249d), precisely for not recognizing that he is divinely inspired. Thus, in Phaedrus, the greatest goods are transmited to us through madness (mania), when sent as a gift from the gods (244a). However, there is a kind of madness as a disease and another one that comes from divine liberation from usually accepted behavior (265a). It is the second kind of madness that philosophy promotes, a noetic connection. There is a breach in convention that occurs through a creative deviation, which could be easily mistaken for pathological deviation, but rather is a process involving knowledge of oneself and, therefore, selfcare, hence a philosophical and therapeutic perspective.
Keywords: Phaedrus; Divine Mania; Inspiration; Philosophy.
Manie Divine
Résumé: Socrate, dans Phèdre, se dit fou de discours (228b), et il nous dit aussi que les gens ordinaires voient le philosophe comme un fou (parakínon 249d), précisément pour ne pas reconnaître qu'il est divinement inspiré. Donc, dans Phèdre, les plus grands biens nous sont transmis par la folie (manie), lorsque ils sont envoyés comme un cadeau des dieux (244a). Pourtant, il y a une sorte de folie comme une maladie et une autre qui vient de la libération divine du comportement socialement acceptable (265a). C'est le deuxième genre de folie que la philosophie promeut, une connexion noétique. Il y a une rupture de convenance qui se produit par une déviation créative, qui peut être facilement confondue avec une déviation pathologique, mais qui est plutôt un phénomène qui implique la connaissance de soi, et donc le soin de soi, par suite une perspective philosophique et thérapeutique.

Terapia Ocupacional y currículum: Cambios, tensiones y continuidades de las propuestas formativas en la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (1986-2013)
Authors: Demichelis Mauro
Published: December 2024

El estudio se propone describir los cambios, tensiones y continuidades de las propuestas formativas de la carrera de la terapia ocupacional (TO) en la UNL. Se describe el arquetipo curricular fábrica de una TO “litoralizada” a través de las formaciones discursivas presentes en los diseños de la estructura organizativa de los planes de estudios y programas de cátedras específicas de la profesión de los años 1986, 1997 y 2013.
En diálogo con la Arqueología del Saber de Michael Foucault (2005) se describen los criterios de organización de contenidos de los formatos curriculares (Camilloni, 2016), lo escrito y enunciado (De Alba, 1993) analizándose los formatos de documentos curriculares y las experiencias formativas de graduadas y graduados en cada uno de los periodos estudiados.
Los planes construyen espacios discursivos pedagógicos en perspectiva histórica sobre una formación de un TO centrada en el desarrollo de habilidades técnicas especialmente en instituciones en el ámbito de la salud. Prácticas que enuncian sobre todo aquellos aspectos estructurales y prácticos del curriculum.
Inferimos que la formación de terapeutas ocupacionales requiere construir nuevas instancias formativas convocando a mayores diálogos entre las demandas de la sociedad con las exigencias académicas para que se efectivicen y visibilicen en términos curriculares nuevos escenarios que demandan la interconexión y combinación de saberes propios de la TO junto al de otras disciplinas.
Se evidencia una marcada tendencia en gran parte de los programas analizados de enunciados de otras profesiones y disciplinas en lo que respecta a estados de salud, condiciones de intervención y metodologías de trabajo. Estas variaciones arrastran un dominio discursivo donde las unidades son los nombres puestos a las asignaturas y sus contenidos. Unidades expresadas en orden de generalidad presentes y superpuestas y, que separan discursos despejando las huellas que entran en tensión (formación terapéutica versus formación profesional de la TO) estableciéndose espacios en blanco teóricos, pedagógicos y políticos que ameritan nuevos análisis.
Dear Comrade President

Published: December 2024

At 372 pages of main text, and about 70 further pages of appendices, notes and index, this book is densely packed with information. It is also packed with characters, events and developments that are relatively well known together with others that will be new to many readers. The book bears the stamp of its dedicated author, but the stamp of Albie Sachs, credited on the cover and in the text for “editorial contributions”, is also evident. Indeed, Albie makes regular appearances in the story-line, which spans several continents and decades, from beginning to end. It is for this very reason that Odendaal decided he should not be a co-author.
Editorial Resilience surprises!

In contrast with the doom and gloom of many of the contributions published in a recent issue of New Agenda which marked 30 years of democracy in South Africa, this issue of New Agenda brings a close to the journal for 2024 with a series of articles that reflect and record the fortitude of our democracy, and the people’s determination to defend and preserve it. The Institute for African Alternatives (IFAA) has made the unusual editorial decision of publishing in this issue a comprehensive three-part focus on a subject that has preoccupied us greatly over the past years – the relationship between corruption and democracy.
Corruption v Democracy - part one Capturing the South African State
Authors: Lewis David
Published: December 2024

Does corruption undermine democracy? Does democracy constrain corruption? Is democracy a necessary condition for successfully combatting corruption?
These questions were initially posed from the intensely practical perspective of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to combatting corruption. And so, reformulated from that perspective I ask: is it necessary to actively promote democracy in order to combat corruption? Or conversely, does the current global decline in the quality of national democracies compromise the fight against corruption?
Corruption v democracy - part three The 2024 elections
Authors: Lewis David
Published: December 2024

The ANC leadership has publicly acknowledged that corruption and, associated with it, extremely poor delivery of social services (largely a provincial and local government responsibility), is a leading cause of the electorate’s devastating judgment. The upshot is that in the national government and in three provinces (Gauteng, KZN and the Northern Cape), the ANC has had to form or constitute part of a coalition government to continue to participate in a majority government.
EMI pioneers
Authors: Ribeiro Juliana Michelon , Hendges Graciela Rabuske , Rodrigues Gabriel Salinet
Published: December 2024

This study is part of a project aimed at mapping the implementation of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). EMI is the use of English in teaching and learning content in curricular courses at universities where the language of instruction is not English (Dearden, 2014). The interest in EMI at the UFSM is linked to national and local internationalization policies. Despite the absence of a specific EMI policy at the UFSM, isolated EMI initiatives have been mapped (Rodrigues, 2019). This study examines perspectives of three professors regarding these initiatives to identify motivations, conditions, concerns, positive and negative outcomes, and needs. Data were collected from three sources: professors’ answers to an online questionnaire, interviews, and information retrieved from their curricula on the Lattes platform. Results indicate that the main characteristics of the EMI experiences are confidence in professors’ attitudes, support from the disciplinary community, and a pedagogical approach that emphasizes flexibility and diversity in students’ English use. These findings are expected to inform institutional actions related to EMI, such as policies and projects to support EMI professors and students.

Revolutionizing agriculture: Innovative bioinoculant formulation technologies for sustainability
Authors: Anusha Y K , Sivakumar U , Manoranjitham S K , Senthilkumar M
Published: December 2024

Microbes are essential for sustainable agriculture, helping to reduce dependency on harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Researchers are actively seeking solutions as researchers become increasingly aware of the adverse effects of urbanization and population growth. Studies on plant disease management highlight the benefits of biocontrol agents and biofertilizers for enhancing plant growth and development alongside their delivery mechanisms. While laboratory formulations show potential, their effectiveness often diminishes in field applications due to a lack of understanding of delivery systems. A comprehensive examination of the entire bioformulation process-from isolating beneficial microorganisms to production-is necessary. Various bioformulations exist, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Innovative formulation strategies are being explored to extend shelf life and improve delivery efficiency, enhancing field productivity and reducing environmental impact. The interplay between bioformulation technology and precision agriculture further emphasizes opportunities for optimizing resource use and minimizing costs. A key challenge remains in developing advanced bioformulation technologies that yield environmentally safe, user-friendly products with optimal field performance, ultimately replacing harmful chemicals. This review critically evaluates the latest developments in formulation types, field efficacy and the factors hindering widespread adoption.
Red sorghum [Sorghum bicolor L. Moench]: A biochemical, nutritional hub and key food supplement - a review
Authors: Rajesh-Kumar Sureshkumar , Anand Guruswamy , Narayanan Subramanian Lakshmi , Subramanian Elangovan , Mini Madhavan Lysal
Published: December 2024

Red sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) stands out as a crucial dietary staple food, particularly in economically disadvantaged and food-insecure regions worldwide. Its diversity among landraces makes India a key hub for production. Red sorghum, renowned for its nutrient density and stress tolerance, holds immense potential as an alternate crop amidst climate change challenges. This review explores red sorghum's grain structure and nutritional profile, emphasizing its macronutrient and micronutrient composition, dietary fibre content, soluble sugars and bioactive secondary metabolites, including phenols, tannins and flavonoids. Understanding these aspects underscores the importance of red sorghum in addressing nutritional deficiencies and forecasting agricultural sustainability. Red sorghum offers many health benefits, particularly as a gluten-free alternative for individuals with celiac disease. Its rich phenolic compounds exhibit potential in combating carcinoma, while its starch composition, including slowly digestible starch, benefits diabetics with its low glycemic index. Combining sorghum with probiotic milk reduces oxidative stress in chronic renal disorders. Sorghum emerges as a versatile gluten-free ingredient rich in minerals and phenolic compounds, offering health benefits in various food products like cookies, RTE cereals, pasta and pet food. Additionally, exploring sorghum's genetic variations and health impacts paves the way for developing nutritionally superior varieties with robust agronomic traits.
Asymptotic model for the propagation of surface waves on a rotating magnetoelastic half-space
Authors: Mubaraki Ali M.
Published: December 2024

This article is focused on deriving the approximate model for surface wave propagation on an elastic isotropic half-plane under the effects of the rotation and magnetic field along with the prescribed vertical and tangential face loads. The method of study depends on the slow time perturbation of the prevalent demonstration for the Rayleigh wave eigen solutions through harmonic functions. A perturbed pseudo-hyperbolic equation on the interface of the media is subsequently derived, governing the propagation of the surface wave. The established asymptotic formulation is tested by comparison with the exact secular equation. In the absence of the magnetic field, the specific value of Poisson’s ratio,

ν

\nu =0.25

, is highlighted, where the rotational effect vanishes at the leading order.
Preparation of high-activity mineral powder from coal gangue through thermal and chemical activation
Authors: Zhang Wuju , Long Hailin , Zhu Deqing , Pan Jian , Li Siwei , Guo Zhengqi
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on enhancing the cementitious activity of coal gangue through a two-step process involving thermal activation followed by chemical alkali excitation. The coal gangue was first treated via a self-heating sintering decarbonization process, which effectively increased its reactivity without the need for additional solid fuel. Following thermal activation, chemical activation was performed using activators such as hydrated lime and lithium silicate to further improve the reactivity of the decarbonized coal gangue. The effectiveness of combining ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with the activated coal gangue was also evaluated. Results revealed that incorporating 35–45 % GGBS with activated coal gangue significantly enhanced both early and long-term strength, achieving an activity index exceeding 100 % under optimal conditions. The addition of 5 % hydrated lime significantly increased the 28-day activity index of the mineral powder to 82.7 %. Optimization experiments showed that reducing the content of decarbonized coal gangue and fine-tuning the proportions of activators further enhanced the overall activity index, reaching up to 103.7 %. This study provides a comprehensive approach to improving the resource utilization of coal gangue through integrated thermal and chemical activation, paving the way for its application in sustainable construction materials.
Cross-dataset micro-expression identification based on facial ROIs contribution quantification
Authors: Yu Kun , Guo Chunfeng
Published: December 2024

In this work, we propose a novel cross-dataset micro-expression identification method based on facial regions of interest contribution quantification, where the training samples are from the source dataset and the test samples are from the target dataset. Specifically, a micro-expression video clip (i.e., a sample) is first sampled at intervals to capture an image sequence consisting of multiple consecutive video frames. Then, locate and crop the facial area in the image frame, and perform facial landmark detection on the cropped area. Next calculate the optical-flow field of the image sequence, and extract the improved Main Directional Mean Optical-flow feature. Finally, the learned group sparse model is used as the classifier to predict the label information of the unmarked target samples, so as to complete the category recognition of micro-expressions. Extensive cross-dataset comparative experiments on four spontaneous micro-expression datasets, CASME, CASME II, SMIC-HS, and SAMM, show that the recognition strategy proposed in this work is effective. Compared with several other advanced recognition methods, our method has better cross-dataset recognition performance, not only the classification accuracy is higher, but also the classification stability is better when faced with different target datasets and different micro-expression categories. It can be applied in many fields such as clinical diagnosis, interrogation, negotiation, and national security.
Management of endometriosis: a call to multidisciplinary approach
Authors: Duncan Jordann-Mishael , Delara Ritchie , Ranieri Gina , Wasson Megan
Published: December 2024

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-like glands and stroma outside of the uterus. There are three types of endometriotic lesions: superficial or peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometrioma, and deep infiltrating disease. Endometriosis not only occurs in the pelvis but also can be found in extrapelvic sites such as the gastrointestinal tract, upper abdominal viscera, genitourinary tract, abdominal wall, diaphragm, and thoracic cavity. After thorough history and physical examination is performed, imaging, such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), should be obtained if there is high suspicion for deep-infiltrating endometriosis to better assess visceral involvement. Endometriosis can be suspected based on symptoms, physical examination findings, and imaging. However, a definitive diagnosis requires histopathologic confirmation. Treatment options include expectant, medical, and surgical management. Endometriosis is largely a quality-of-life issue, and treatment should be tailored accordingly with empiric medical therapy frequently utilized. Medical management focuses on symptom improvement. Surgical management with excision of endometriosis is preferred over ablation or fulguration of endometriotic lesions. In the case of deep or extrapelvic endometriosis, treatment with a multidisciplinary team with experience in the treatment of advanced-stage endometriosis is essential to minimizing morbidity and increasing long-term success.
Investigating the acoustic fidelity of vowels across remote recording methods

Published: December 2024

Our study tests the acoustic fidelity of remote recordings, using a large variety of stimuli and recording environments. Remote recordings support crucial uses like reaching isolated populations and more speakers; however, it is important to be aware of any limitations therein. A 188-word list was constructed from each English consonant followed by each vowel. Words recorded by one male and one female speaker in a sound-attenuated booth were input for test recordings. Stimuli were played over an electronic speaker and recorded on six devices across five operating systems, four teleconferencing platforms, and two browsers, using internal and external microphones, a more extensive set than has been analyzed in prior research. Acoustic analysis investigates the impact of these recording configurations on fundamental frequency, loudness, and vowel formant measures. Across recording conditions, browser choice had less effect on the different vowel measures, while choice of hardware resulted in a greater number of significant differences and greater variability within and across conditions. Recording configuration effects were observed to exert different impacts across vowels and speakers, resulting in inconsistent perturbations. These results highlight the need for careful selection and detailed documentation of all recording configurations.
Classifying offensive language in Arabic: a novel taxonomy and dataset
Authors: Liebeskind Chaya , Afawi Ali , Litvak Marina , Vanetik Natalia
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a streamlined taxonomy for categorizing offensive language in Arabic, specifically Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the Levantine dialect. Addressing a gap in the existing literature, which has mainly focused on Indo-European languages, our taxonomy divides offensive language into seven levels (six explicit and one implicit). We adapted our framework from the simplified offensive language (SOL) taxonomy by (Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, Barbara, Slavko Žitnik, Anna Bączkowska, Chaya Liebeskind, Jelena Mitrovic & Giedre Valunaite Oleškeviciente. 2021a. Lod-connected offensive language ontology and tagset enrichment. In Shubert R. Carvalho & Renato R. Souza (eds.), Proceedings of the workshops and tutorials held at ldk 2021 co-located with the 3rd language, data and knowledge conference, Vol. 3064, 135–150. CEUR Workshop Proceedings), customizing it to reflect the unique linguistic and cultural nuances of Arabic. To validate this taxonomy, we created a new dataset from various social media platforms, primarily focusing on Twitter. This dataset was manually curated by human annotators and is described in detail within the paper, serving as both a validation tool for our taxonomy and a foundation for future research on offensive language detection in Arabic. Initial analysis of the dataset reveals complex patterns of offensive expressions in MSA and Levantine Arabic, underscoring the need to account for linguistic and cultural variations in studying online abuse. Our taxonomy and dataset are vital for advancing research in Arabic sociocultural studies, natural language processing, and linguistic analysis, and contribute to the study of low-resource languages.
Correlation between the mechanism of arteriopathy in IgA nephropathy and blood stasis syndrome: A cohort study
Authors: Wang Ruiqi , Tian Yun
Published: December 2024

To investigate the correlation between blood stasis syndrome and arteriopathy in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Wall thickness/outer vessel diameter, intimal thickness/outer vessel diameter, and medial thickness/outer vessel diameter were measured using ImageJ software. Vascular endothelial-derived growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Twenty-four-hour urine protein quantification, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, and uric acid were collected. Blood stasis syndrome and vessel scores were calculated based on Katafuchi’s grade. Intimal thickness/outer vessel diameter (0.2725 ± 0.0932 μm), medial thickness/outer vessel diameter (0.2747 ± 0.1139 μm), and wall thickness/outer vessel diameter (0.6136 ± 0.1120 μm) were the largest in IgAN with arteriopathy group. VEGF (0.35 ± 0.90), MMP-9 (0.38 ± 0.12), PCNA (0.43 ± 0.12), ERK1/2 (0.31 ± 0.11), and NF-κB (0.37 ± 0.14) were the highest in IgAN with arteriopathy group. Intimal thickening of IgAN was moderately positively correlated with VEGF, MMP-9, PCNA, ERK1/2, and NF-κB (0.5 < r < 0.8). Medial thickening of IgAN was moderately positively correlated with PCNA and NF-κB (0.5 < r < 0.8). Wall thickening of IgAN was lowly positively correlated with VEGF and MMP-9 (0.3 < r < 0.5). Blood stasis syndrome score was associated with vessel score in IgAN with arteriopathy (P < 0.05). Blood stasis syndrome score can assess the degree of pathological changes.
Exploring the complexity of multilingual spaces: embracing diverse perspectives of linguistic non-understanding
Authors: Goodchild Sam , Weidl Miriam
Published: December 2024

In our article, we investigate the complex dynamics of linguistic understandings and mis- or non-understanding within multilingual contexts. Through the lens of sociolinguistic exploration, we navigate the multifaceted landscapes of language use, applying a multi-perspective approach and the triangulation method to explore the depths of linguistic non-understanding (LNU). Drawing on ethnographic data collection and multi-perspective analysis, we highlight the challenges and opportunities inherent in incorporating LNUs into research practice. Embracing a non-positivist stance, we acknowledge the role of being a ‘non-knower’ in our pursuit of understanding. Our methodology section briefly demonstrates the application of the triangulation method for researching multilingualism, while our empirical findings unveil various instances of LNU across everyday language use. We emphasise the importance of researchers’ reflexivity and the recognition of repertoire users as experts in their linguistic practices. Ultimately, our study offers insights into the analytical advantages of adopting an in-depth and multi-perspective approach to research in multilingual environments.

Published: December 2024

As an intensely debated period, the transition from the LBK to post-LBK societies remains in the centre of attention of researchers dealing with the Early Neolithic in Central Europe. The partly drastic change of the settlement systems, regarding both the patterns and organisation, is indeed an interesting subject and raises questions about the social and economic processes and changes that may have accompanied this development. With this contribution, we present new results from extensive survey activities and excavations of Lengyel sites in the Žitava Valley, Southwestern Slovakia. Most notably, the excavation at the previously unknown circular enclosure of Podhájska, built around 4800 calBCE, yielded new data on various aspects of life in Lengyel contexts. Supplemented by geophysical prospections of other rondel and settlement sites, we now begin to understand the transition process from the Early Neolithic to later periods in this regional context. Varying settlement patterns within this small regional context, as well as new forms to express and maintain communality for the dispersed hamlets during the Lengyel period are remarkable signs for societal reorganisation and an adaption to altered needs of the communities involved.
Inovação em serviços de turismo na perspectiva do consumidor turístico: Uma revisão bibliométrica
Authors: Cardoso Rafaela , Sohn Ana Paula , De Mello Rossini Diva , Pereira Júnior Sinval
Published: December 2024

A presente pesquisa visa entender o panorama atual da produção científica sobre inovação em serviços turísticos a partir da perspectiva do consumidor turístico. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, com uma abordagem mista, baseada em um levantamento do estado da arte da literatura em revistas científicas indexadas na base de dados Scopus, utilizando procedimentos bibliométricos para a análise dos artigos. Os resultados mostram um aumento de mais de 500% nas publicações sobre o assunto, demonstrando que a pesquisa sobre inovação no turismo se desenvolveu rapidamente. Os artigos foram mapeados em 35 revistas científicas internacionais. No que tange às universidades com o maior número de publicações, a Sunway University liderou o ranking com 3 publicações, revelando-se como um núcleo importante para a disseminação do conhecimento relacionado ao tema. Também identificou-se que o interesse pela temática vem crescendo desde 2019, conforme consta a análise das palavras-chave e o diagrama de densidade. Por meio das descobertas foi possível observar que há uma fragilidade dos estudos desenvolvidos, sobretudo na perspectiva dos gerentes e funcionários, mesmo reconhecida a importância para a percepção dos turistas nesse processo de inovação em serviços. Nesse sentido, este estudo contribui para explorar de forma completa e sistemática até que ponto os estudiosos do turismo estão cientes e intencionalmente trabalhando na inovação em serviços de turismo a partir da perspectiva do consumidor.
Lei geral de proteção de dados pessoais e o agronegócio: uma análise das implicações aos produtores rurais no município de Palmeira das Missões - Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil
Authors: De Mattos Fagundes Paloma , Stefani Patrícia , Francine Brizola Paola
Published: December 2024

A intensa utilização de dados pessoais por empresas públicas e privadas, a partir de modernas tecnologias da informação, apresentou novos desafios ao direito à privacidade. Não poderia ser diferente no setor do agronegócio, que impulsionado pelas tecnologias digitais passou a operar com base em  dados. A agricultura movida a dados passou a suscitar cuidado no que respeito à coleta e armazenamento de informações pelas partes envolvidas nos processos agropecuários, ocasião em que se passou a refletir sobre o impacto que a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados ocasionaria no setor do agronegócio. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a percepção do produtor rural em relação à Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) no município de Palmeira das Missões/RS. O estudo é do tipo qualitativo-quantitativo, utilizou como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário disponibilizado na forma on-line e presencial, o qual foi estruturado com 48 questões e direcionado aos produtores rurais. A partir da pesquisa realizada chegou-se ao resultado que o objeto jurídico tutelado pela LGPD são os dados pessoais e que eles fazem parte do rol de Direitos Fundamentais, adentrando no conceito de privacidade elencado no artigo 5º, inciso X da Constituição Federal. Verificou-se que o nível de implementação da LGPD nas propriedades rurais, atualmente, é baixo devido à falta de conhecimento da lei e de suas implicações jurídicas, cujo efeito promoveu discussões sobre o processo de implementação da referida lei nas propriedades rurais, bem como a titularidade dos dados relacionados a estas atividades. Ficou evidente que a titularidade dos dados gerados a partir das operações agropecuárias pertence aos proprietários rurais, devendo as empresas adotar condutas que minimizem o risco de vazamento de dados a fim de promover o desenvolvimento econômico e tecnológico da cadeia produtiva. Por fim, ficou evidenciada a carência de informação ao produtor rural, por parte das organizações envolvidas no processo e consequentemente a necessidade da criação de políticas de conscientização e informação para efetiva implementação da LGPD para, assim, atingir o ponto de equilíbrio necessário entre a disponibilização de tecnologias digitais e o marco legal de uso de dados.
Towards a social dialectometry: the analysis of internal border effects
Authors: Valls Alecha Esteve , Wieling Martijn
Published: December 2024

We aim to broaden the scope of border studies in dialectology and show that intra-state political borders can impact dialect continua as significantly as inter-state political borders. Our analysis focuses on the processes of language change currently taking place on either side of the Catalonia-Aragon border in Spain. We aim to bring dialectometry and sociolinguistics closer together by using generalized additive mixed-effects regression modelling allowing us to simultaneously analyze a large corpus of items and assess which social variables are responsible for this internal border effect. Firstly, our results confirm that the internal border between Catalonia and Aragon, arising from two simultaneous processes of vertical advergence (towards standard Catalan in Catalonia and towards standard Spanish in Aragon), has a stronger effect than the international border between Spain and Andorra. This emphasizes the need to investigate internal borders in linguistic convergence and divergence studies. Secondly, our findings indicate that the main predictors of change are the speakers’ year and birth region. This provides evidence that the border effect should be attributed, more than any other social factor, to the long-term consequences of belonging to distinct administrations. Finally, after comparing various indicators of the sociolinguistic evolution of the Aragonese Catalan dialects, we conclude that in this process of language shift, the decline in ethnolinguistic vitality of the recessive language correlates with an increase in structural hybridization caused by advergence towards the expanding language. This prompts further exploration into whether hybridization is a cause, mechanism, or result of the processes of language substitution.

Esta pesquisa de trabalho de conclusão de curso teve como objetivo verificar os verbos introdutórios das habilidades concernentes ao eixo análise linguística/semiótica e constatar a presença de orientações que prezem as práticas de descrição de estruturas linguísticas características do ensino gramatical tradicional. Para tanto, partindo dos princípios qualitativos de pesquisa, foram analisadas as habilidades descritas no documento, as quais conduzem e definem quais ações serão tomadas pelos educandos para o domínio de determinados objetos do conhecimento. À medida que foram compreendidos os verbos dispostos nas habilidades, processos cognitivos envolvidos e sua relação com as formas tradicionais de análise linguística, foi possível constatar que algumas dessas habilidades possuem forte presença das metodologias de estudo tradicionais da gramática. Por fim, para embasar esse trabalho, utilizou-se como aporte teórico as considerações de Bagno (2012), Faria e Macedo (2021), Franchi (2006), Geraldi (2015), Perini (1997) e Possenti (2011), os quais pressupõem que, para um trabalho efetivo com a linguagem, não se pode submeter o aluno aos exercícios de mero reconhecimento, identificação e/ou classificação de estruturas morfossintáticas sob pena de não promover um domínio, de fato, da modalidade padrão da língua, uma vez que há fartos exemplos na literatura demonstrando a falência deste tipo de abordagem da língua.
Újdonságok a mastocytosis diagnózisában és kezelésében

A mastocytosis ritka megbetegedés: kb. 10 új beteg megjelenésével lehet számolni évente 100 000 lakosra vonatkozóan. Ez annyit jelent, hogy ma Magyarországon ezres nagyságrendben kellene felismerésre és gondozásra kerüljenek, ami nem történik meg. A klinikánkon megalakult Semmelweis Mastocytosis hálózat elnyerte az európai, 21 ország szakembereit magában foglaló European Competence Network on Mastocytosis (ECNM) kiválósági központjaként történő elismerést. Évente 10–15 új beteget látunk és több mint 150 beteget gondozunk. Az egész országból érkeznek hozzánk. A hálózatban bőrgyógyász, hematológus, patológus működik együtt. Differenciáldiagnosztika tekintetében hálózatunkban HANO (örökletes angioneurotikus oedema) kivizsgálás is történik, triptázszintmérés is bevezetésre került, illetve lehetőség van a myeloid panelben vizsgálni a prognosztikus jelentőségű RUNX1, ASXL1 és SF3B1 mutációkat, valamint tervezzük a herediter alpha triptazaemia TPSAB1 gén mutációjának vizsgálatát. Ez utóbbi a következő WHO-klasszifikációban mint minor kritérium fog szerepelni. Alábbiakban az utóbbi években megjelent legfontosabb publikációk rövid ismertetésén túl az ECNM legutóbbi éves konferencián elhangzott a diagnosztikát és terápiát érintő újdonságokról számolok be.

Surveillance video processing requires high efficiency, given its large datasets, demands significant resources for timely and effective analysis. This study aims to enhance surveillance systems by developing an automated method for extracting key events from outdoor surveillance videos. The proposed model comprises four phases: preprocessing and feature extraction, training and testing, and validation. Before utilizing a convolution neural networks approach to extract features from videos, the videos are pre-processed. Events classification uses gated recurrent units. In validation, motions and objects are extraction then feature extraction. Results show satisfactory performance, achieving 79% accuracy in events classification, highlighting the effectiveness of the methodology in identifying significant outdoor events.
