Asymmetric dynamics between uncertainty and unemployment flows in the United States
Authors: Ahmed Ali , Granberg Mark , Troster Victor , Uddin Gazi Salah
Published: September 2020

This paper examines how different uncertainty measures affect the unemployment level, inflow, and outflow in the U.S. across all states of the business cycle. We employ linear and nonlinear causality-in-quantile tests to capture a complete picture of the effect of uncertainty on U.S. unemployment. To verify whether there are any common effects across different uncertainty measures, we use monthly data on four uncertainty measures and on U.S. unemployment from January 1997 to August 2018. Our results corroborate the general predictions from a search and matching framework of how uncertainty affects unemployment and its flows. Fluctuations in uncertainty generate increases (upper-quantile changes) in the unemployment level and in the inflow. Conversely, shocks to uncertainty have a negative impact on U.S. unemployment outflow. Therefore, the effect of uncertainty is asymmetric depending on the states (quantiles) of U.S. unemployment and on the adopted unemployment measure. Our findings suggest state-contingent policies to stabilize the unemployment level when large uncertainty shocks occur.

Published: September 2020

In zukünftigen Flugtriebwerken soll ein Planetengetriebe zwischen Fan und Turbine integriert werden, um den Wirkungsgrad und das Nebenstromverhältnis des Triebwerks zu erhöhen. Ein solches Getriebe muss im fortlaufenden Betrieb überwacht werden, um mögliche Getriebeschäden wie Zahnradverschleiß oder Grübchen auf den Zahnradflanken frühzeitig zu erkennen. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methode vorgestellt, die aus einer Schwingungsmessung, sensorabhängigen Merkmalsgewinnung und einer Support Vector Machine (SVM)-basierten Klassifizierung von Zahnradgrübchen zur Zustandsüberwachung von Getrieben besteht. Mehrere Zahnräder wurden auf einem genormten Zahnrad-Verspannungsprüfstand mit einem konstanten Drehmoment bis zu einer vorgegebenen Grübchenfläche belastet. Die Grübchenfläche wurde begleitend zu den Versuchen fotografisch erfasst. Es wurden Merkmale aus Beschleunigungssensoren und einem Körperschallsensor extrahiert und auf der Grundlage der Ergebnisse der fotografisch erfassten Grübchenfläche wurde ein SVM-Klassifikator entwickelt, um den Grübchenschaden zu identifizieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Grübchen ab einer relativen Grübchenfläche am Einzelzahn von weniger als 1 % effektiv identifiziert werden können.
Self-sufficient vibration sensor for high voltage lines
Authors: Siegl A. , Neumayer M. , Bretterklieber T. , Gruber G. , Felsberger R. , Brasseur G.
Published: September 2020

Winde und Luftströmungen stellen eine potentielle Bedrohung für Hochspannungsleitungen dar. Die Luftbewegungen lassen die Leiterseile in beliebige Richtungen schwingen und verursachen mechanischen Stress an den Aufhängepunkten und den Leiterseilen. Um die Amplitude der Seilauslenkung zu messen, kann ein Vibrationssensor, basierend auf einer Beschleunigungsmessung, an der Leitung angebracht werden. Damit der Sensor in einem solchen Umfeld korrekt arbeitet und die Auswertung der Seilauslenkung ordnungsgemäß erfolgt, müssen zuerst Überlegungen angestellt werden. In diesem Beitrag sind diese herausgestrichen und in einen Laborprototypen eingeflossen, welcher anhand von Laborexperimenten verifiziert und charakterisiert wurde. Die Leistungsaufnahme des Prototyps sowie dessen Messunsicherheit und der mittlere quadratische Fehler, bezogen auf die Auslenkung, werden präsentiert.

Objectives

We compared the laboratory and clinical symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), other viral (beside COVID-19), and bacterial conjunctivitis patients with the values of controls.

Methods

Twenty COVID-19, 15 other viral, 15 bacterial patients, and 15 control group were included in the study. COVID-19 was diagnosed with the real time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction while the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test was used in the detection of other viral agents. Bacterial agents were determined with the detection of the agent. The ophthalmologic examination of all cases was carried out by direct penlight, and the anterior segment evaluation was performed. The laboratory findings of all cases included in the study were obtained from the hospital records.

Results

It was determined that 5% conjunctivitis and 5% diplopia developed in patients diagnosed with COVID-19, 20% conjunctivitis developed in patients due to other viral agents, and 66.6% conjunctivitis developed in patients due to bacterial agents.

Conclusion

The incidence of conjunctivitis in COVID-19 patients was lower than in other viral and bacterial groups. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein come to the forefront as precious parameters with high specificity and sensitivity that might be useful to distinguish these diseases.
Variational principle for time-periodic quantum systems
Authors: Krüger Nils
Published: September 2020

A variational principle enabling one to compute individual Floquet states of a periodically time-dependent quantum system is formulated, and successfully tested against the benchmark system provided by the analytically solvable model of a linearly driven harmonic oscillator. The principle is particularly well suited for tracing individual Floquet states through parameter space, and may allow one to obtain Floquet states even for very high-dimensional systems which cannot be treated by the known standard numerical methods.
A solution of the time paradox of physics
Authors: Kalies Grit
Published: September 2020

Quantum mechanics for describing the behavior of microscopic entities and thermodynamics for describing macroscopic systems exhibit separate time concepts. Whereas many theories of modern physics interpret processes as reversible, in thermodynamics, an expression for irreversibility and the so-called time arrow has been developed: the increase of entropy. The divergence between complete reversibility on the one hand and irreversibility on the other is called the paradox of time. Since more than hundred years many efforts have been devoted to unify the time concepts. So far, the efforts were not successful. In this paper a solution is proposed on the basis of matter-energy equivalence with an energetic distinction between matter and mass. By refraining from interpretations predominant in modern theoretical physics, the first and second laws of thermodynamics can be extended to fundamental laws of nature, which are also valid at quantum level.

Published: September 2020

The in-situ stabilization of Ag nanoparticles is carried out by the use of reducing agent and synthesized three different types of hydrogen (anionic, cationic, and neutral) template. The morphology, constitution and thermal stability of the synthesized pure and Ag-entrapped hybrid hydrogels were efficiently confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The prepared hybrid hydrogels were used in the decolorization of methylene blue (MB) and azo dyes congo red (CR), methyl Orange (MO), and reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and nitrobenzene (NB) by an electron donor NaBH4. The kinetics of the reduction reaction was also assessed to determine the activation parameters. The hybrid hydrogen catalysts were recovered by filtration and used continuously up to six times with 98% conversion of pollutants without substantial loss in catalytic activity. It was observed that these types of hydrogel systems can be used for the conversion of pollutants from waste water into useful products.

Motivations of civil society actors to reuse open data. Case study of discrete actors in Lyon
Authors: Slobodova Olga
Published: September 2020

Open data platforms are being widely adapted in cities with a promise to boost the economy and empower citizens. However, researchers have drawn attention to the ineffectiveness of such initiatives, unless they are designed taking into account the local context and ecosystem of actors. Yet, literature review demonstrates a gap in addressing individual motivations of actors and in particular discrete civil society actors to use open data. Building upon studies on individual motivations in open government, we propose a heuristic model of interconnection between societal outcomes of open data and individual motivations of the actors.Analysis of the open data initiative and ecosystem in Lyon is based on interviews and platform analysis. Our findings show that civil society actors in Lyon have the expertise to create knowledge and services from open data, but they fail to appropriate the latter for the lack of communication channels with the platform managers. Consequently, possible modalities of interaction are discussed and further research agenda is proposed to better understand the connection between individual motivations, open data platform design and broader societal outcomes.
Le capital numérique urbain
Authors: Eveno Emmanuel
Published: September 2020

L’habitant des villes, autrefois considéré comme étant soumis aux aléas des politiques de toutes sortes qui régissaient la ville tend, depuis l’époque contemporaine et en lien avec le développement de nouvelles technologies, à devenir un acteur « discret ». En même temps que les villes acquièrent de nouvelles fonctionnalités en se technologisant, les habitants, en s’équipant eux-mêmes de technologies, sont capables d’interagirent avec les acteurs publics. Mais ces capacités ne sont pas uniformément distribuées. C’est pourquoi nous évoquons ici la notion de « capital numérique urbain » comme élément d’explication des diverses capacités des habitants à maîtriser leur insertion sociale et politique dans la ville.
Vivir en las márgenes del riesgo. Inundación y resiliencia en La Plata
Authors: Aversa Maria , Rotger Daniela Vanesa , Senise Florencia
Published: September 2020

La presente investigación aborda las inundaciones ocurridas en abril de 2013 en el Gran La Plata, profundizando en el concepto de resiliencia y en las características que asumen barrios en condiciones de marginalidad ante la problemática del riesgo de inundación como amenaza territorial y ambiental. El objetivo es analizar y discutir el concepto de resiliencia a partir del análisis de un proceso de relocalización de la población de un barrio vulnerable de Ringuelet, asentado en las márgenes del arroyo del Gato y afectado por inundaciones, desde dos perspectivas: la de los actores estatales, estudiando sus lógicas de proceder y la de los actores comunitarios, indagando por su participación social y formas de organización. Se plantea como interrogante si existe una resiliencia comunitaria innata en la población o si se ha alcanzado a partir de experimentar una contingencia social.
La Constitución Política de 1949, sus raíces histórico políticas durante el período 1940-1948
Authors: De la Cruz Vladimir
Published: September 2020

El 70 aniversario de la Constitución Política de Costa Rica es un buen momento para recordar los eventos previos a la emisión de la Carta Magna.
¿Cómo debemos ver y apreciar la existencia de esta Constitución Política? ¿Cómo entender las circunstancias y sucesos históricos que condujeron al momento histórico que le dieron origen? ¿Qué valor tiene la Constitución Política actual?
El contexto que produce la convocatoria de la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente de 1949, que dio origen a la actual Constitución Política, fue el resultado de una grave confrontación social y política que se venía dando durante la década de 1940 y especialmente, a partir del Pacto producido, en 1943, entre el Gobierno del Dr. Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia, y su Partido Republicano, Monseñor Víctor Manuel Sanabria Martínez, Jefe de la Iglesia Católica, su Obispo, y Manuel Mora Valverde, Secretario General del Partido Comunista de Costa Rica.
El repaso de esta década que a nivel internacional fue tan convulsa y que llenó al país de luchas ideológicas y problemas económicos, es clave para comprender el significado de la emisión de la Constitución de 1949.
El objeto de la filosofía de Ignacio Ellacuría: la realidad histórica como propuesta metafísica
Authors: Brito de Butter Marcela Lisseth
Published: September 2020

Esta investigación busca presentar algunos elementos clave de la constitución del pensamiento filosófico de Ignacio Ellacuría, concretamente, la realidad histórica como objeto propio de su filosofía. El análisis realizado despliega tres momentos que se consideran fundamentales para comprender el carácter central que tiene la realidad histórica y por qué una interpretación metafísica de la filosofía de Ellacuría es clave para comprender su proyecto liberador: el problema filosófico ellacuriano, su idea de filosofía como metafísica y la realidad histórica desplegada en sus dimensiones física y transcendental. Para Ellacuría, sin un correcto análisis de las estructuras que configuran la realidad histórica, es imposible dar cuenta de los dinamismos que de suyo configuran lo histórico en cuanto tal, siendo esta última dimensión de la realidad la más rica y abierta gracias a la praxis histórica de liberación.
Valuation and cost reduction of behind-the-meter hydrogen production in Hawaii
Authors: Headley Alexander , Randolf Günter , Virji Mebs , Ewan Mitch
Published: September 2020

A 250kW hydrogen electrolysis facility was recently installed at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority's (NELHA's) campus. This facility that will begin operation in 2020 to produce hydrogen for fuel cell buses on the island to demonstrate of the application of hydrogen to decarbonize transportation. Given the size of the electrolysis station, it has the potential to significantly increase electricity costs for the campus, which is subject to energy and peak demand charges from the local utility.

In this paper, we analyze the cost of hydrogen production at NELHA given the rate structure options available from the utility. Production costs are estimated using optimal versus constant scheduling of the facility to meet the buses’ demand. A model of the electrolysis station is used to capture changes in production efficiency over the power range in the optimization routine. The effects of combining the station and campus load versus standalone operation and increasing solar generation are also explored. The analyses surrounding this scenario show the importance of multiple factors on the potential profitability of hydrogen production in behind-the-meter applications and show trends that could have implications for other similar installations.
The Pedagogical Life of the Russian Emigration in London: From Hope to Disappointment
Authors: Kirzhayeva Vera , Osovsky Oleg
Published: September 2020

This article considers little-known episodes of the pedagogical life of the Russian emigration in England. A relatively small number of Russian refugees, a lack of a legal framework, and financial difficulties prevented the Russian diaspora from establishing a system of national education similar to that created by the Russian emigration in Czechoslovakia, France, or Yugoslavia. The upbringing and education of children and youth became a social, cultural, and educational task for the Russian scientific and pedagogical community in London. The article shows the pedagogical life of “Russian” London through the prism of Russian educator N. Hans’ biography. His life and work have only recently become an object of close attention in Russian émigré studies. Hans’ life in England is a rare example of a Russian scholar’s integration into a foreign scientific and educational space. Hans actively participated in the establishment of Russian People’s University and children’s summer camps. The organisation of the Russian Teachers Group in London enabled the Russian pedagogical community to join the process of building the Russian émigré school, and Hans to become one of the most prominent figures in the social pedagogical movement. He participated in the work of conferences and councils of émigré pedagogical organisations and published articles in émigré periodicals about Russian and foreign schools and new methods of teaching. The authors introduce new archival documents and materials from émigré and English periodicals of the 1920s. Excerpts from teachers’ curricula vitae provide information about their everyday life in London. The pedagogical life of Russian London is a history of people’s lives which adds to the history of Russian emigration in the twentieth century.
Recollections of the Future in the Italian Text of Andrei Beloborodov
Authors: Vasilyeva Maria
Published: September 2020

This article explores the work of Andrei Yakovlevich Beloborodov (1886–1965), an architect, graphic artist, and memoirist. An outstanding representative of Russian emigration, he has long been ranked among the names of the highest order abroad. Beloborodov gained great fame in Italy, where he settled down in 1934 and where his gift as an architect and graphic artist flourished. Beloborodov was an author of the iconic architectural and publishing projects of the early twentieth century; however, his name has been forgotten in his homeland. The article tracks the biographical background of the artist’s work and the pre-revolutionary period of their formation, later described by Beloborodov in his Memoirs. The author examines the place of the Palladian architect in the architectural tradition of the early twentieth century, which revived great Italian classicism in St Petersburg. Beloborodov’s work is explored comprehensively: his memoir heritage is interpreted as part of a single discourse of a retrospective architect, while his outstanding long-term graphic cycle The Great Island (Grande Isola, 1939–1953) is considered part of the general mnemonic tradition of Russian abroad, which was especially clearly manifested in the literature of the first wave of Russian emigration. Special attention is paid to the image of the city as a model of the world in the artist’s graphic design. Beloborodov’s philosophy of the city and fantasy urban cycles are considered as part of the émigré “post-Petersburg” text. At the same time, the island symbolism and metaphorical architectural images in the cycle Great Island are compared with the “architectural” code of the later projects of the Russian abroad in the interwar years (Chisla and Novy Grad magazines). The article’s author employs historical, hermeneutic, and comparative research methods. The purpose of the work is to actualise Beloborodov’s artistic heritage. One of the main results of the study is to provide a multidimensional reception of this outstanding architect/idiosyncratic memoirist and help study his urban metaphysics as a close interweaving of Italian and Russian architectural traditions, a vivid illustration of the relevant sociopolitical and cultural dialogue of the 1930s around the international place of the Russian abroad.

Authors: Oliveira Lívia Félix de , Nogueira Laura Maria Vidal , Rodrigues Ivaneide Leal Ataíde , Palha Pedro Fredemir
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the time elapsed between the identification of respiratory symptoms and the beginning of tuberculosis treatment, considering the sputum smear microscopy and the RMT. Method: Descriptive, retrospective epidemiological study, carried out in two Health Units, which were the only units that performed diagnosis by sputum smear microscopy and Rapid Molecular Test in the city. Data on respiratory symptoms with a positive result for tuberculosis were used. Analysis of data distribution and variance was performed, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The longest time interval found was “result/beginning of treatment”, for both tests, with a median of 3 days. It was found that the patient takes longer to receive the result when performing the Rapid Molecular Test. Conclusion: Patients who had the Rapid Molecular Test waited longer for results when compared to sputum smear microscopy, leading to a reflection on the need for further studies on the operation of health services.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the social representations of undergraduate nursing students in the third and eighth term of the course on the rights of health users. Methods: Qualitative research using the framework of the structural approach to the Theory of Social Representations. A total of 92 students participated. The free evocation technique was used and data was processed in the EVOC software. Results: In the social representations of the third term students, words related to health policies were not observed, but there is an evaluation of the service in the institutions. Among the eighth-grade students, the concepts that support the policies of the Unified Health System are evident. Final considerations: There is a consolidation of the students’ knowledge throughout the course, with a more elaborated knowledge about the users’ right, supported by principles of the SUS. Undergraduate education is an important space for discussing the construction and exercise of citizenship, including the right to health.

Published: September 2020

Resumen: En este artículo, se analizan las narrativas de transformación identitaria de personas que se encuentran en tratamiento por consumo de drogas o recibieron asistencia en el pasado. El material empírico analizado proviene de una investigación cualitativa y se compone de entrevistas semiestructuradas a residentes y ex residentes de tres comunidades terapéuticas confesionales (una evangélica y dos católicas) en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Hay una cronología que refleja el modo en que se configura la conversión religiosa, principal transformación biográfica que estas instituciones persiguen, a partir de la obediencia a las normas de los programas terapéuticos. La conversión es significada como un proceso por el cual se adquieren herramientas para “aprender a manejarse en el afuera” y “vivir limpio/a”.
“A sua religião é a Antropologia”: histórias e (des)caminhos de um antropólogo-aprendiz em um terreiro de Umbanda
Authors: Chiesa Gustavo Ruiz
Published: September 2020

Resumo: Pretende-se, neste ensaio, refletir a respeito de alguns dos aspectos envolvidos no processo de aprendizagem na Umbanda e na Antropologia, tomando como foco de atenção as experiências vivenciadas pelo próprio autor durante seu trabalho de campo em um terreiro umbandista. Ao longo dessa imersão, pensada nos termos de uma educação da atenção, alguns acontecimentos serviram para demonstrar a completa impossibilidade de se estabelecer qualquer espécie de dissociação entre certas categorias centrais na conformação de uma “epistemologia ocidental”, bem como da própria prática antropológica. Constatou-se, a partir disso, que saber e sentir, ser e conhecer, participar e observar, ação e percepção, teoria e prática, afeto e cognição não só estão intrinsecamente relacionados, como são partes constitutivas da aprendizagem humana.

Published: September 2020

Resumo O bioma Caatinga é o lugar onde vivem 28,6 milhões de pessoas e que tem sido apontado como uma região ecológica vulnerável às mudanças climáticas. Isso abre a possibilidade para adoção de medidas adaptativas na população em um futuro próximo. Nessa perspectiva, a conscientização da população pode ajudar no processo de adaptação às mudanças climáticas, conscientização que pode ser alcançada por meio da educação formal e a partir da percepção dos agentes sociais. Porém, estariam os agentes sociais, especificamente, os professores percebendo as mudanças climáticas? O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de percepção dos professores da rede pública do município de General Sampaio (CE), em relação aos impactos das mudanças climáticas no bioma Caatinga. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo por meio de entrevistas aplicadas em 10 professores do Ensino Fundamental, que lecionam nas disciplinas de Ciências e Geografia. As entrevistas foram processadas no software IRAMUTEQ, um método informatizado de análises textuais e analisadas de forma qualitativa. Os resultados mostraram que os professores percebem as variações climáticas por meio de sensações térmicas inconstantes, secas extremas e chuvas fora de época. Todavia, não reconhecem os riscos que o bioma Caatinga e a população estão correndo diante da ameaça das mudanças climáticas.

Authors: Lourenço Rafaela Gessner , Fonseca Rosa Maria Godoy Serpa da
Published: September 2020

Objective: to identify and analyze the perceptions and practices of health professionals and of the third sector regarding adolescence and violence between intimate adolescent partners. Method: an exploratory and descriptive study. Data was collected in two sessions of a Critical-Emancipatory Work Workshop carried out with 55 professionals who work in Primary Health Care services and services related to the third sector. Data was submitted to content analysis with the support of the WebQDA software. The categories of analysis used were gender and generation. Results: the perceptions and practices in the face of violence between intimate adolescent partners are based on common sense and subjugate female adolescents in particular. In the health services, violence is perceived during consultations for other demands, under the biomedical paradigm. Third sector professionals understand the confrontation of violence as a responsibility of the health area. Conclusion: negative and stereotyped conceptions of violence between intimate adolescent partners are marked by gender and generation biases. The study highlights the need to promote networking actions in the professional practices that consider the historical and social understanding of adolescence to cope with the problem.

Published: September 2020

Objective: to evaluate the use of realistic simulation as a strategy to promote teaching about pressure injuries. Method: This is a quasi-experimental study. A modified and translated version of the Pieper Pressure Ulcer knowledge test was applied. Kappa statistical analysis was used to assess the professionals’ knowledge in the realistic simulation using the SPSS software. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Seventy-seven nursing professionals participated in the realistic simulation, the majority (72.7%) being nursing technicians. Regarding the knowledge of primary and secondary coverage techniques, the Kappa index went from 0.56 (p=0.002) in the pre-test to 0.87 (p=0.001) in the post-test. As for the sterile dressing technique, there was a variation from 0.55 (p=0.002) in the pre-test to 0.91 (p=0.001) in the post-test. Regarding the cleaning of pressure injuries, there was a variation from 0.81 (CI: 0.62-0.84) in the pre-test to 0.91 (0.85-0.97) in the post-test. The knowledge about the use of a sterile spatula to distribute the dressing in the wound increased from an agreement index from regular to good. Conclusion: The introduction of the realistic simulation in the clinical practice has created quality assessment indicators for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.

The analysis technique used was the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DCS). Results the legacy of Florence Nightingale to contemporary nursing practice; the weaknesses and the technical operational capacity with which nursing faces in the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS); the strategies for strengthening the Unified Health System and qualification of nursing practices; and the potentialities identified in the pandemic scenario were the main ideas that emerged. In the bicentennial year of Florence Nightingale, nurses recognize her legacy to public health practice and management. Several variables interfere in professional practice, such as epidemiological aspects, working conditions, and care management in a pandemic. Conclusion the pandemic scenario has taken nursing to a position of practical and scientific protagonism as a result of its proactivity and leadership in the search for knowledge based on scientific evidence.

Objective to identify the factors associated with the use and reuse of masks among Brazilian individuals in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method cross-sectional study conducted in the five Brazilian regions, among adult individuals, via an electronic form disseminated in social media, addressing general information and the use of masks. Bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression were used to identify the factors associated with the use and reuse of masks. Results 3,981 (100%) individuals participated in the study. In total, 95.5% (CI 95%: 94.8-96.1) reported using masks. Fabric masks were more frequently reported (72.7%; CI 95%: 71.3-74.1), followed by surgical masks (27.8%; CI 95%: 26.5-29.2). The percentage of reuse was 71.1% (CI 95%: 69.7-72.5). Most (55.8%; CI 95%: 51.7-60.0) of those exclusively wearing surgical masks reported its reuse. Being a woman and having had contact with individuals presenting respiratory symptoms increased the likelihood of wearing masks (p≤0.001). Additionally, being a woman decreased the likelihood of reusing surgical masks (p≤0.001). Conclusion virtually all the participants reported the use of masks, most frequently fabric masks. The findings draw attention to a risky practice, that of reusing surgical and paper masks. Therefore, guidelines, public policies, and educational strategies are needed to promote the correct use of masks to control and prevent COVID-19.
Desagregando a mediação: tecnologias e atmosferas religiosas
Authors: Reinhardt Bruno
Published: September 2020

Resumo Neste artigo aponto para certos limites intrínsecos ao conceito de mediação, que tem dominado debates recentes sobre a relação entre religião e tecnologia na antropologia e além. Inspirado etnograficamente pelas técnicas e tecnologias de oração utilizadas por um profeta pentecostal baseado em Acra, Gana, meu argumento destaca a qualidade atmosférica da fé pentecostal, fruto de uma concepção de agência divina a um só tempo difusa e intensiva, contingente e visceral. Destaco como essa relação ecológica com a presença condiciona o engajamento pentecostal com a tecnologia, que tende a operar menos como uma forma de mediação de algo que os excede e mais como uma forma de afinamento sensorial para algo que os constitui. Proponho um conjunto alternativo de conceitos capazes de desagregar as diversas operações homogeneizadas pela noção de mediação, como virtualidade, possibilidades de ação (affordances) e afinamento atmosférico.
Em defesa da dignidade: moralidades e emoções nas demandas por direitos de pessoas transexuais
Authors: Freire Lucas
Published: September 2020

Resumo Este artigo traz uma análise do modelo de petição inicial de requalificação civil de pessoas transexuais elaborado pelas funcionárias do Núcleo de Defesa da Diversidade Sexual e Direitos Homoafetivos da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e sua influência no cotidiano da instituição. Os dados aqui discutidos são oriundos da etnografia realizada no núcleo em 2014. O principal argumento apresentado para a efetivação do direito à alteração do nome e/ou sexo é a defesa da “dignidade da pessoa humana”. Por um lado, parte da retórica utilizada nestes documentos tenta produzir no indivíduo responsável pelo julgamento uma empatia pelo autor da ação ao apelar para a compaixão. Por outro, há, ao longo do texto, denúncias de uma espécie de “contaminação moral” por parte dos juízes que negam tais pedidos, revelando dimensões morais e emocionais no fazer político de pessoas transexuais na busca pelos “seus direitos”.
Doença de Alzheimer e xamanismo: diálogos (im)possíveis
Authors: Feriani Daniela
Published: September 2020

Resumo Relacionar os processos demenciais ao tornar-se louco ou ser outra pessoa, estar possuído, foi algo que encontrei em cenas e relatos de meu material de campo. É numa tentativa de compreender o que está em jogo nesse “devir outro” que faço um diálogo entre doença de Alzheimer e xamanismo enquanto fenômenos que lidam com processos de transformação em situações-limite, como doença, infortúnio, desordem, morte. Tal diálogo, que percorre aproximações e distanciamentos, permite pensar nos deslocamentos das noções de pessoa, doença e realidade entre os diferentes sujeitos e campos. Ao trazer a discussão sobre xamanismo como um valor de contraste, uma analogia “boa pra pensar”, busquei outras referências para a compreensão da doença de Alzheimer não só como diagnóstico, mas também como experiência, modo de vida - um “mundo outro” - , mostrando como o discurso biomédico da “dissolução de self” se fundamenta em uma noção específica de pessoa.
A AUTORREGULAÇÃO PERCEBIDA COMO PREDITORA DA UTILIZAÇÃO DE RECURSOS NO MOODLE
Authors: Oliveira Paula Diogo , Simão Ana Margarida Veiga , Ferreira Paula Costa
Published: September 2020

Resumo Autorregulação da aprendizagem implica refletir sobre a utilização de recursos educativos para gerir o que, quando, como, com quem e por que aprender. Este artigo pretendeu investigar a relação entre a perceção dos alunos sobre o planeamento, execução e autoavaliação da aprendizagem e a seleção de recursos e atividades do Moodle. Responderam ao Inventário de Recursos e Atividades em Ambientes Moodle e ao Inventário de Aprendizagem Autorregulada em Ambientes Moodle 438 alunos (7º ao 9º ano). Uma análise de regressão mostrou que a perceção dos alunos sobre o planeamento, execução e autoavaliação da aprendizagem prediz a seleção de recursos e atividades de disponibilização de informação e de realização de trabalho, mas não de colaboração/interação em todas as fases de regulação do trabalho.

Authors: Pereira Cátia Maria Machado da Costa , Moreira Geraldo Eustáquio
Published: September 2020

Resumo Este trabalho apresenta uma investigação sobre o desempenho dos estudantes brasileiros em Matemática no Pisa de 2003 e 2012. O objetivo foi verificar em qual conteúdo avaliado os estudantes apresentaram melhor desempenho e dispersão positiva na escala de níveis da avaliação. A estratégia empírica adotada foi descritiva e comparativa. Foram analisados relatórios do Inep (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira) e da OCDE/Pisa para compor a base de dados para análise comparativa das duas aplicações da prova. Os resultados apontam que os estudantes brasileiros apresentaram melhor desempenho e a mais significativa distribuição na escala Pisa em Indeterminação e Dados ou Probabilidade. Contudo o desempenho dos estudantes brasileiros, influenciado por uma multiplicidade de fatores, ainda está longe de atingir os níveis da OCDE.

Authors: Nonato Emanuel do Rosário Santos
Published: September 2020

Resumo A cultura digital no ensino médio problematiza o modo como se dá a prática pedagógica e, no caso do ensino de literatura, a fruição e a interpretação das obras de arte literária no ambiente escolar. Este estudo dimensiona a percepção dos docentes da rede pública estadual da Bahia sobre o diálogo da cultura digital, mediante seus artefatos, com o fazer pedagógico na docência de literatura no ensino médio através de um survey aplicado a 802 docentes da rede estadual de ensino da Bahia que declararam ensinar literatura no ensino médio. O conjunto dos dados demonstra a inserção das tecnologias digitais na prática pedagógica dos professores de Literatura, com a consequente inserção da escola no modo de ser e de fazer mediado pelas tecnologias digitais.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é explorar a teoria da atividade como um referencial teórico interdisciplinar adequado, situando os elementos sociais, pedagógicos e tecnológicos do blended learning no ensino superior, considerando a adoção e a efetividade do blended learning, que constitui a nova normalidade no atual contexto de presença e uso intensivo de tecnologias digitais na educação. Conclui-se a validade internacional da teoria da atividade e sua permanente transformação e evolução histórica, desde suas origens até os dias atuais, oferecendo transcender o caráter individual em direção a um caráter coletivo, representando adequadamente os elementos sociais, tecnológicos e histórico-culturais presentes em toda atividade formativa.
O DEBATE DERIVA/CONTATO NA HISTÓRIA DO PORTUGUÊS BRASILEIRO
Authors: Lemos De Souza Janderson
Published: September 2020

RESUMO: Este artigo retoma o debate acerca da prevalência do fator deriva, considerado como estritamente interno, ou do fator contato, considerado como estritamente externo, na constituição do português brasileiro. No plano empírico, a retomada privilegia o contato com línguas do ramo banto. No plano teórico, circunscreve-se em bases epistemológicas da linguística cognitiva, em que se discute a adequação de dois desdobramentos: uma linguística cognitiva de contato e uma sociolinguística cognitiva. O artigo recapitula a associação entre contato e crioulização, tendo em vista dissociar os dois fenômenos; rejeita a tese de que o contato se restringe à influência lexical, tendo em vista associar a dicotomia deriva/contato à dicotomia léxico/gramática; e propõe uma hipótese do contato baseada em processos de domínio geral. Reformular o debate nestes termos permite concluir que o contato motiva compatibilizações entre conceptualizações, por se tratar de cognições em contato, e não de línguas em contato.
