Authors: Ferreira Max da Silva , Da Silva Everton Rodrigues , Maurício Cláudia Lúcia de Pinho
Published: June 2024

Although regulated, the use of HP(10) to estimate the effective dose of photons has not yet been implemented in Brazil. The operational quantity used in the country, temporarily, is the photon dose equivalent (Hx). For the external monitoring of individuals exposed to photons, the IRD uses an automatic TL dosimetry system with individual MTS-N monitors from the RADOS manufacturer, which contains LiF: Mg, Ti TLDs. The objective of this work was to characterize this system for the evaluation of the operational quantity HP(10). The measuring range is 0.2 mSv to 2 Sv, for photon energies from 20 keV to 1250 keV. The type test was done through performance tests for the following characteristics: homogeneity of the monitors, system reproducibility, linearity, temperature and humidity effect, energy and angular dependence, and fading. The acceptance requirements were taken from IEC 62387 standard and IRD-RT 002.01/95 technical regulation. The results show that all requirements have been met, except for the N-25 quality, at the angle of 60°.

Exames radiológicos em avaliações médico ocupacionais
Authors: Gelsleichter Alyson Marcos , Huhn Andréa , Nandi Dorival Menegaz
Published: June 2024

Introdução: na medicina do trabalho, os cuidados médicos devem ser voltados para a prevenção da saúde do trabalhador. No entanto, muitas vezes os exames médicos ocupacionais procuram apenas, através de exames seletivos rigorosos, reduzir o absenteísmo e, consequentemente, aumentar a produtividade. Para atender a esse objetivo, muitas instituições incluem exames radiológicos indiscriminadamente em suas avaliações médicas e periciais, contrariando o princípio da justificativa. Objetivo: proporcionar uma reflexão acerca da presença de exames radiológicos em avaliações médicos ocupacionais. Metodologia: revisão literária incluindo legislações relacionadas ao tema de pesquisa. Resultados: a Portaria 453/98 ANVISA proíbe a realização de exames radiológicos para fins empregatícios ou periciais, exceto em casos onde o exame possa trazer um benefício à saúde do indivíduo examinado ou para a sociedade. Contudo, em algumas situações a Norma Regulamentadora número 7 do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego prevê a realização de exames radiológicos como parâmetro de monitorização da exposição ocupacional. O artigo 168 da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho também determina que exames complementares poderão ser exigidos, a critério médico, para apuração da aptidão física e mental do empregado para a função. Conclusão: apesar de existirem dispositivos legais que proíbam e outros que permitam exames radiológicos em avaliações médico ocupacionais, as empresas e instituições devem ter em conta que todo exame radiológico tem um risco envolvido e não devem solicitá-los de forma compulsória e indiscriminada. Exames radiológicos somente são admissíveis para elucidação de hipótese diagnóstica produzida por avaliação clínica, de forma a proporcionar um benefício real para o indivíduo.

Published: June 2024

Irradiação industrial é a prática que, fazendo uso de feixes de elétrons ou raios gama, possibilita benefícios como a esterilização de produtos hospitalares, a conservação de alimentos, o tratamento de pedras preciosas, o envelhecimento de cachaça e a preservação de obras de arte. O objetivo desse trabalho é caracterizar o panorama dos serviços de irradiação industrial operantes no estado do Rio de Janeiro (RJ). A metodologia envolveu, um levantamento das instalações licenciadas pela Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) para a operação de irradiação industrial no estado. Posteriormente, foi organizado visitas técnicas junto aos Serviços de Proteção Radiológica de todas as instalações detectadas. Foi constatado que existem apenas duas instalações autorizadas pela CNEN no RJ e que ambas fazem uso de irradiação por feixe de elétrons. Apenas uma delas atua com na comercialização do serviço, empregando um feixe duplo de 10 megaelétron-Volt oriundo de dois aceleradores lineares de partículas. Já a segunda instalação utiliza o serviço para fins próprios, equipada com um acelerador único, emissor de feixes simples de 600 quiloelétron-Volt. Conclui-se que há numericamente poucas instalações de irradiação industrial no RJ. Baseado em características como a penetrabilidade do feixe, a natureza da fonte, o custo logístico e as medidas de proteção radiológica, essas instalações preferem fazer uso dos aceleradores (feixes de elétrons). Destaca-se que, se a única empresa que atualmente oferta o serviço a terceiros resolver encerrar suas atividades, fabricantes, fornecedores, comerciantes e consequentemente a população pode sofrer algum impacto, dada a ausência de opções no mercado.

Published: June 2024

As indústrias de mineração, papel celulose, petrolífera, etc., que necessitam de um controle de qualidade nos processos, utilizam os medidores nucleares com fontes radioativas seladas acopladas a um detector de radiação que geram respostas precisas e rápidas quanto ao nível, espessura, densidade e umidade de diferentes tipos de materiais. Os medidores nucleares estão classificados em fixos ou portáteis e utilizam sistemas de transmissão, retroespalhamento ou reativa. Como usam fontes radioativas com várias faixas de atividades estão classificados pela AIEA como Categorias 3 e 4, de médio e baixo riscos radiológicos, devendo, assim, possuir um nível de proteção radiológica adequado para o uso seguro na instalação. A CNEN controla aproximadamente 500 instalações autorizadas com medidores nucleares. Os IOE que manuseiam esses medidores nucleares devem ter conhecimento do risco radiológico para sua própria proteção e de indivíduos do público. Para a atuação segura com os medidores nucleares, uma série de requisitos deve ser observada de acordo com cada tipo e necessidade da instalação. O presente trabalho descreve tecnicamente os medidores nucleares e dois dos principais aspectos de proteção radiológica que devem ser conhecidos para obter a certificação de Supervisor de Proteção Radiológica, tendo como base o programa da prova específica de certificação para medidor nuclear da CNEN.

Core region; It is defined as an anatomical cylinder consisting of the rectus abdominis in front, internal/external obliques on the sides, erector spinae, lumbar multifidus and quadratus lumborum in the back, diaphragm on the upper edge, pelvic floor and iliac psoas on the bottom. The core is the center of the body where the kinetic chain transfers forces to the extremities. Strengthening the core muscles with exercise programs is effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems and prevention of injuries. With the development of surface electromyography, muscle activation can be measured in different patterns and has been widely used. With this application, core muscle activity can also be determined during exercise. In conclusion, this article reviews the current literature on the electromyographic activity of six core muscles including rectus abdominis, internal/external oblique, transversus abdominis, lumbar multifidus and erector spinae during core exercises in healthy adults.
Primary paraganglioma of the facial nerve: a diagnostic challenge
Authors: Ferrer-Maruland Eduardo , Urquijo Diana Paola , Isaza-Marín Adriana
Published: June 2024

Paragangliomas are benign tumors of gradual growth that arise from the paraganglion system. They consist of cellular assemblies associated with vascular and neuronal adventitia throughout the body. Moreover, tympanojugular and tympanic PGs are the most common in the head and neck. Primary paraganglioma arising from the facial nerve canal (FN) is rare and challenging to be surgically removed as it is a highly vascularized tumor. Therefore, a preoperative differential diagnosis of an FN tumor is essential for adequate surgical and functional management
The construction of citizenship identity: beyond the social, moral and political subjects
Authors: García Cabrero Benilde , Conde Flores Silvia , Elizarrarás María Eugenia Luna , McKeon Lucía Rodríguez , Cámara Greta Papadimitriou
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this paper is to describe and explain a conceptual and methodological framework that was used to analyze civic and citizenship compulsory education (K-12) quality in Mexico. This framework departs from the premise that diverse overlapping, and interdependent planes are required to shape competent citizens, committed to play their roles as social, moral, and political subjects in an effective way. These planes contribute to the generation of a strong sense of identity, sense of agency, as well as social, political, and moral self-efficacy, required for the construction of a citizen who stands up with civic courage and dignity, to promote and defend human rights, dignity itself and democracy. The approach used to evaluate the quality of the curriculum considered the national level (curriculum plans), and the local level (civic and ethical programs for each level of education). The results show that the focus of the programs of the different levels (K-12) vary in the percentage of attention devoted to the construction of the four nuclei (social, political, moral and with dignity and rights) of analysis delineated in the theoretical and methodological framework of analysis, which represent areas of opportunity to improve the quality of civic and citizenship education in Mexico.
Analysis of geochemical properties of eruption products of mud volcanoes in the Lower Kura depression
Authors: Bayraktutan Mehmet Salih , Ganbarova Shura A.
Published: June 2024

Due to its location, the Lower Kura depression is included in the north-west part of the South Caspian basin. It stretches from northwest to southeast and enters the South Caspian basin. It is a deep-seated (buried) depression. Its crystalline base is located at a depth of 20-22 km. Two main anticlinal linear zones are separated on the border of the depression: Kalamaddin-Bandovan and Padar-Neftchala. In addition, the Kursangi and Southern Kursangi uplifts, freely located between them, were discovered. One of the main features of this oil and gas region is the extensive development of mud volcanoes in its territory. Within it 33 mud volcanoes were discovered characterized by intensive oil-gas eruptions. In this article, based on the detailed analysis of the existing geological-geophysical material, the distribution area of the mud volcanoes developed in the depression, and the geo- chemical characteristics of their eruption products were reviewed. The goal is to determine the gases contained in the products thrown by volcanoes to the earth’s surface and to study their distribution over the area. For this purpose, the content of methane gas, heavy hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in eruption materials was studied. According to the results obtained from the analysis, the composition of the gases in the mud volcanoes present in the depression consists mostly of methane. The amount of methane in the eruptive products of Agzibir volcano varies from 86.3% to 98.88% (Kalamaddin mud volcano). The average mark of methane gas ranges from 86.6% (Akhtarmaardi) to 91.3% (Harami). At the same time, maps were drawn up to determine the distribution of gases in the eruptive materials in the study area. At the same time, a map of the location of the Galmaz mud volcano, a geological profile passing through the mud volcano was created. The amount of gases released into the atmosphere was determined based on the analysis of mud volcano eruption products in the south-west and north-east parts of the Galmaz area. As a result of geological and geophysical studies it was determined that the chemical composition of the eruption products of the Galmaz mud volcano is different. The analysis show that most of the gases released from the volcano into the atmosphere consist of methane gas. It is 9 gas - 97.42%. The amount of other gases is relatively small: heavy hydrocarbons – 0.04%, nitrogen- 0.48%, CO2- 2.06%. The deposits related to mud volcano are mainly massive, structural and tectonically screened types. However, hydrocarbons accumulated within traps are formed oil-gas and gas individual deposits.
Israel, Palästina und Bilder-Fragen

Dieser Essay kartiert bildethische Kontroversen und Herausforderungen für individuelle Fotojournalist:innen, Fotoredakteur:innen und Mediennutzer:innen, die sich durch digitale, vernetzte Bilder während und nach dem Attentat der Hamas auf israelisches Staatsgebiet am und nach dem 7. Oktober 2023 abbilden. Während in deutschsprachigen Redaktionen Entscheidungen oft in Dichotomien des Veröffentlichens und Nicht-Veröffentlichens verharren, wendet sich die englischsprachige Fototheorie und journalistische Bildethik seit einigen Jahren hin zu komplementären Ansätzen, wie beispielsweise Newton und Dodd (Dodd, 2023; Newton, 2021). Diese werden sowohl den fotojournalistischen  Produktionsbedingungen im Feld und unterschiedlichen Rollen und Selbst-Identitäten (Good & Lowe, 2020) gerechter. Zugleich entlassen sie Rezipient:innen nicht aus der eigenen ethischen Verantwortung und Bildung von ethischer Kompetenz (ethical literacy). Gerade im Umgang mit KI-generierten Bildern, die durch fotorealistische Fiktionalisierungen vorgeben, das Leiden von Menschen in Israel und Palästina illustrieren zu können, sind Redaktionen zu besonders sensiblem Umgang mit Medienökologien gefragt, wie exemplarisch die Paris Charter on AI and Journalism verdeutlicht (Reporters Without Borders, 2023a).
Analisis Kesepadanan Makna Terjemahan Surah Al-Fatihah Qur’an Kemenag Menggunakan Tinjauan Metode Semantik
Authors: Nabil Haykal , Muhammad Abdallah Lubbi
Published: June 2024

Arabic is a language that has a rich meaning, because of that many people are still wrong in interpreting the meaning in Arabic. This makes translation in a word not worth it. In translating text from SL to TL it is not arbitrary, there are 8 strategies in translating ST to TT, namely: word-to-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, semantic translation, communicative translation, idiomatic translation, free translation, adaptation translation. Various strategies are used to find meanings that are in accordance with SL. This research will discuss the equivalence analysis of the translation of surah Al-Fatihah from the Ministry of Religion's Qur'an in 2022 in terms of semantic studies. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of this study state that the translation of the Al-Qur'an of the Ministry of Religion in 2022 in surah Al-Fatihah has many equivalents, but there are still discrepancies in meaning in this translation, both lexical and grammatical meanings, therefore it must be re-equipped, so that it is more compatible with the method semantic translation translation.

Authors: Turgut Melih , Drijvers Paul
Published: June 2024

In this paper we focus on the link between the use of dynamic geometry software and student understanding for the solution of systems of linear equations from an instrumental genesis perspective. Three task-based interviews were conducted with an undergraduate linear algebra student
majoring in mathematics education and proficient in using dynamic geometry software. Data included video recordings, student written work and screen recordings. The data analysis was guided by the theoretical lens of instrumental genesis, to elaborate on how student thinking was shaped by
the use of the digital artefacts. The digital technology supported the participant’s solution steps and over time the student developed four interrelated instrumentation schemes, which are parameter scheme, combined algebra and geometry scheme, the intersection of figures scheme and
echelon form scheme.

Authors: Costa Sidonie F. , Silva Eliana Costa e , Correia Aldina
Published: June 2024

b-Mat@plicada is a b-learning Mathematics course for Higher Education students, mainly composed of educational videos available in the institutional Moodle platform. These contents were created by following a set of guidelines, where three components are considered: the quality of
students’ learning, the teacher’s time and computer skills, as well as the equipment made available by the institution. With the aim of evaluating the procedure used to make these videos, an experiment was carried out in classroom context, using a video on matrix multiplication
which is included in the course syllabus. After its visualization, the 49 students who participated in the experiment completed a questionnaire assessing viewing behaviour, perception, attitudes, satisfaction, and learning performance. The findings demonstrate the importance of using video
podcasts in Higher Education as complementary tools and the adequacy of the selected b-Mat@plicada video. Also, the results indicate that, from the students’ perspective, the speech, sound, and image are the most important features in a video podcast.

Authors: Weinhandl Robert , Hohenwarter Markus , Lavicza Zsolt , Houghton Tony
Published: June 2024

Using ePortfolios in mathematics learning is a valuable way to visualise students’ learning outcomes in student-driven learning. ePortfolios are typically a collection of finished or fixed artefacts. However, several new software applications offer the opportunity to incorporate
the interactive and dynamic characters of mathematics and mathematicslearning outcomes. Utilising such new software applications could be further enhanced by using student-driven approaches to teaching such as flipped learning, which is one example of merging the Rotation and Flex models of
blended learning. Our study aimed to investigate students’ requirements of dynamic and interactive ePortfolio software and related approaches to teaching and learning using the principles of explorative case studies enhanced with the techniques of design-based research and grounded theory.
Qualitative analysis of student data collected over seven months indicates that key requirements are (a) a customisable technomathematics learning environment, (b) a tool that can enable mathematics learning with different representations, and (c) a familiar and intuitive mathematics learning
environment with a limited set of tools.
Connecting Digital and Physical Resources for Enriching Heuristic Strategies in Geometry Problem Solving. Theoretical Considerations and Empirical Findings
Authors: Donevska-Todorova Ana , Lieban Diego
Published: June 2024

There has been a large amount of research about the impact of dynamic geometry software (DGS) on the learning of mathematics mainly related to different representations of mathematical concepts and functional dependences. This paper goes beyond these investigations by suggesting
meaningful connection and integration of DGS with physical resources as 3D prints. It is evocative to investigate which students’ general and subject-specific heuristic strategies in geometry problem solving can be identified when connecting diverse types of resources. Though the importance
of diverse heuristic strategies in problem solving has already been acknowledged in literature, effects of a meaningful connection of different digital and tangible resources on the widening and broadening the spectrum of strategies have not been explored to a satisfactory amount. Empirical
results of this undertaken design based research with prospective high school mathematics teachers contribute to consolidation of the existing body of theoretical knowledge and open new question for further research about the relation: resources-strategies.

Authors: Judd Jamison E. , Oshiro Briana , Cloft Kristal , DeFranco Thomas C.
Published: June 2024

The postsecondary Calculus series poses an ongoing challenge for students and instructors. With the rapid growth of STEM careers and the traditional role of calculus as a gatekeeper to higher mathematics, it is urgent that students develop a stronger skillset with regard to calculus
topics. The current availability of technology allows instructors to offer interactive supplemental instructional materials outside of class time. In particular, worked examples have been shown to be an effective aid to student understanding. In this study the impact of video worked examples
on student performance in a Calculus II class was assessed. The study examined the impact of viewing vs. not viewing the worked examples, as well as the timing of viewing the worked examples (either before or after lecture). T-tests indicate that there was no significant difference between
students who watched the videos before or after lecture, but there was a significant difference between viewing vs. not viewing the videos.
Evaluation of the Didactic Transposition Process in Teaching Integral: Face-to-Face versus Online Education
Authors: Sevimli Eyüp
Published: June 2024

This study aims to evaluate the university lecturers' teaching content preferences in different teaching environments at the undergraduate level of mathematics. The content that lecturers use in teaching the concept of integral is evaluated through a comparison of face-to-face and
virtual classroom settings. With comparative case study being used out of interpretive paradigm patterns, the course contents and reflective interview findings of lecturers are analysed descriptively. Findings of the study show that compared to face-to-face classes, the integration content
that requires algebraic approaches are preferred less and while the content requiring numerical and contextual approaches are preferred more in virtual classrooms. Participants considered the processes of using different representations and transiting external sources as an advantage in virtual
classrooms, and they also claimed that face-to-face classes were more effective in the calculation of integral and proof processes. The other necessary components for improving teaching in virtual classrooms were discussed within the framework of technological content knowledge and epistemological
beliefs.

Published: June 2024

The onset of COVID-19, along with its various mutations, has played havoc with many activities, not the least of which is education. For the majority of 2020 and 2021 in Australia, much of the teaching in both schools and universities was undertaken online, leading to a re-think
of how learning and teaching might look in the future. This paper examines some of the challenges of remote learning, along with some of the unexpected benefits. Of particular interest is assessment, especially in mathematics-based subjects, and how a fair evaluation may be made of the students.
Impact of Meteorological Factors and Air Pollution on Urban Salicaceae Pollen Levels
Authors: Acar Şahin Aydan
Published: June 2024

The objective of the research was to examine how meteorological conditions and air pollution affect the levels of Salicaceae pollen in the Ankara province. Salicaceae, a plant family encompassing willows and poplars, generates pollen that may contribute to respiratory allergies. The study employed a Burkard volumetric 7-day spore trap for airborne pollen monitoring throughout the pollen season, spanning from March to June in the year 2023. The relations between pollen concentrations, various meteorological parameters and air pollutants were revealed by correlation and regression analysis. While, the wind direction was found to be positively correlated with Populus pollen concentration, there was also a positive relationship between relative humidity and Salix pollen loads. Additionally, air pollutants, including PM10, PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides, were found be positive impact on the abundance of Populus pollen. Understanding these relationships is crucial for assessing the potential health risks associated with airborne pollen and for developing strategies to mitigate the impact of urban environmental factors on pollen concentration.
The Effect of Internal Service Quality on Employee Performance and the Mediation Role of Digital Transformation in This Effect
Authors: Elibol Fatih
Published: June 2024

The changing and increasing competitive environment brings new opportunities and risks to enterprises. Developments in the field of information and technology are among the main factors in the formation of this environment. It is an inevitable necessity for enterprises to continuously adapt to the developments in business environment, possibly through digital transformation, in order to seize opportunities and to reduce newly emergent risks. Despite all changes in the competitive environment, employees are still one of the most essential resources for enterprises today. As in the case of all business resources, it is extremely important to use the labor force effectively and efficiently and to keep employee performance at the highest level to achieve business goals and objectives in a sustainably competitive way. The internal service quality approach provides a practical analytical framework to evaluate employee performance. According to the approach, employees are considered as internal customers, the services provided to them by other employees as interior services, and the quality of these services as internal service quality. Improvement of internal service quality and ensuring digital transformation might have a positive effect on the employee performance. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of internal service quality on employee performance and the mediating role of digital transformation in this effect. To test research hypotheses formed in the study, data were collected from 133 employees working in an import-export company by online survey method. The data were analyzed through frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and regression analyses. Hayes Process plug-in of SPSS was used to test the mediation hypothesis. According to the research findings, internal service quality and digital transformation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Another finding of the study is that digital transformation has a partial mediating role in the effect of internal service quality on employee performance.
Descartes’ın Birinci Meditasyon’unda Yöntem, Şüphesiz Bilgi Arayışı ve Şüpheciliğinin Anlamı Üzerine
Authors: Beşer Ali Sertan
Published: June 2024

René Descartes’ın etkili ve ilham verici eserlerinden biri olan Meditasyonlar’ın bölümlerinden ilki özellikle Descartes’ın önceden edindiği birçok düşünce ve inançlarına şüpheyle baktığı hatta yanlış sayıp kesin ve şüphesiz bilgiyi aramayı amaç edindiği kısımdır. Bu anlamda daha ilk satırlardan itibaren etkileyici üslubuyla okuyucuyu kendisine çeken Descartes, farklı argümanlarla şüpheciliğinin nedenlerini, izleyeceği yöntemi anlatır ve buradan hareketle bilimlere sağlam temel oluşturabilecek dayanakları araştıracağını söyler ve duyulardan bağımsız bir metafizik inşa etmeye kalkışır. Bilgi edinmede ilk yolunun duyular olduğunu belirten Descartes, onların da kendisini zaman zaman aldatmasından ötürü kuşku içerdiklerini söyler ancak görünüşte duyuları reddedemeyeceği durumlar da olduğunu hatta reddetmesinin delilik olacağını belirterek deliliğin doğru bir değerlendirme yapmada yeterli bir durum olmadığını da ekler. Daha sonra duyular hakkında kuşkularını rüya argümanıyla dile getirir. Rüya argümanının hemen sonrasında ressam analojisini de ifade eden Descartes, rüyalarda bile mevcut olan ve şüpheye mahal bırakmayan basit ve genel şeylerin olduğu vurgusunu yaparak bilimler sınıflaması yapmaktadır. Bundan sonra hata yapmasının nedenlerini aramaya girişen Descartes’ın aldatıcı Tanrı hipotezi ve kötü niyetli cin argümanını gündeme getirdiği görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu yazıda öncelikle Descartes’ın Birinci Meditasyon’da ortaya koyduğu önemli hususları belirtmeye çalışarak başlayacağız. Daha sonra ise Descartes’ın söz konusu meditasyonuna yönelik olarak ortaya konan yorumlar ışığında Descartes’ın şüpheciliğinin anlamını ortaya koymaya çalışacağız. Bu konudaki literatür oldukça geniş olduğundan, yorumculardan Descartes’ın kendi döneminden sadece Gassendi’nin yorumlarına yer verip daha sonra bu konudaki önemli gördüğümüz çağdaş düşünürlerin yorumlarının öne çıkan bazılarına yer vermeye gayret edeceğiz. Her ne kadar Descartes’ın yönteminin bazı zayıflıklarına değinecek olsak da bu yazının odak noktası onun şüpheciliğinin anlamını ortaya koymak olacaktır. Nihayetinde şunu göstermeye çalışacağız ki Descartes, her ne kadar farklı şüpheci argümanlar ortaya koyup hiçbir şeyi doğru ya da yanlış varsaymayacağını iddia etse de daha Birinci Meditasyon’da kabul ettiği bazı incelenmemiş varsayımları olduğunu ve şüpheciliği kısa bir süre için ve araç olarak dikkate aldığını aslında ondan kurtularak kendi kabul ettiği şüphesiz hakikatleri ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır.

Conclusions: despite the knowledge of asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic behavior in neonates, it is important to continue the search for new clinical data, as this public has uncertain reactions to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade de vida no trabalho dos profissionais da saúde em atendimento direto e indireto de casos de covid-19. Métodos: estudo transversal com 156 profissionais da saúde de um hospital de referência. Investigou-se a relação entre variáveis sociodemográficas, laborais e percepção de estresse e domínios da Escala de Avaliação da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, por meio de estatística inferencial e de regressão. Resultados: a Satisfação por Compaixão foi moderada (média: 38,2), com percepção de estresse, Burnout e Estresse Traumático Secundário baixos (médias: 18,8, 21,6 e 19,1). Houve associações entre: escolaridade, salário, múltiplos empregos e atendimento direto com o aspecto Satisfação por Compaixão; baixa renda, ser enfermeiro e trabalhar horas extras com Burnout; e trabalhar mais de 12 horas, doença de base e internação por covid-19 com Estresse Traumático Secundário. Conclusão: a qualidade de vida no trabalho foi satisfatória, apesar da presença de Burnout e Estresse Traumático Secundário.

ABSTRACT: O ensino publico no Congresso Nacional. Breve Notícia, an inaugural book by Primitivo Moacyr, was published in 1916. Our work consisted of investigating the conditions of production of this book, following the trajectory that started with the chronicles printed in Jornal do Commercio in 1915. An employee of the Chamber of Deputies and responsible for the organization of the Parliamentary Documents, Moacyr used this position to place himself in the Brazilian press scenario and the intellectual environment from the production of a topic that was gaining prominence and which there was little or no study until then: public education present in parliamentary documentation. The analyses were developed under the framework of readings present in the history of education works in the interface with the history of print, press, book, and reading produced by international and national historiography and theoretical-methodological contributions of Sirinelli's political history (2003). Among the conditions presented here, we highlight Moacyr's work as editor of parliamentary debates and the relationship between men in the Chamber and Brazilian journalism. The sociability networks in which he was inserted ensured productive social and professional ties and the political tension surrounding the Hermes da Fonseca government fueled criticism of the reforms, in particular the Rivadavia Reform, one of the subjects covered in the book. We conclude with some motivations that would have led Moacyr to choose public education as the theme for his works.
TRAÇANDO O SISTEMA DE ATIVIDADE DE TRABALHO DOCENTE NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL: DIMENSÕES DE ANÁLISE
Authors: LIMA NATÁLIA VALADARES , CUNHA DAISY MOREIRA
Published: June 2024

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a atividade de trabalho docente na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica a partir dos pressupostos da Teoria da Atividade de perspectiva histórico-cultural. Para tal, realizamos a observação das aulas ao longo de um semestre e entrevistas com dois docentes de um curso técnico de nível médio ofertado por uma instituição da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica de Minas Gerais. A partir dos dados coletados, procedemos a uma análise do trabalho docente e sistematizamos suas dimensões em um sistema de atividade, baseando-nos nos estudos desenvolvidos por Leontiev (1978) e Engeström (2002, 2013, 2016) acerca da Teoria da Atividade de perspectiva histórico-cultural. Por fim, concluímos que, para a elaboração de um sistema de atividade de trabalho docente, é fundamental uma aproximação da atividade de trabalho, o que viabilizaria o preenchimento de cada um dos polos de tal sistema, bem como evidenciaria a existência de aspectos singulares, relacionados, sobretudo, à experiência e aos valores de cada um dos sujeitos, que perpassam a atividade e ultrapassam aquilo que pode ser sistematizado.
DESIGNING THE TEACHING WORK ACTIVITY SYSTEM IN PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION: DIMENSIONS OF ANALYSIS
Authors: LIMA NATÁLIA VALADARES , CUNHA DAISY MOREIRA
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: This article aims to analyze the teaching activity in Vocational Education based on the assumptions of the Cultural- Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). To this end, we carried out an observation of classes over a semester and conducted interviews with two teachers of a vocational course offered by an institution of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific, and Technological Education of Minas Gerais. From the data collected, we analyzed the teaching work and systematized its dimensions in an Activity System, based on studies developed by Leontiev (1978) and Engeström (2002, 2013, 2016) about CHAT. Finally, we conclude that an approximation of the work activity is essential to elaborate a teaching work activity system. This would make it possible to fill each of the system's poles and point out the singular aspects related to the experiences and values of each subject, which permeate the activity and go beyond what can be systematized.
NOVOS RISCOS E CAPTURAS AOS DIREITOS HUMANOS E INTERESSES DAS CRIANÇAS: O CASO DO BRASIL COMO ALERTA ÀS DEMOCRACIAS
Authors: LINS HELOÍSA ANDREIA DE MATOS
Published: June 2024

RESUMO: Neste ensaio, é apresentado um mapeamento cartográfico (de processos, eventos, fluxos e afetos como linhas de força em um território), considerando o fortalecimento do espectro político das direitas radicais e consequentes retrocessos e subversões adultocêntricas nos significados de “melhor interesse” das crianças, centralmente. São discutidos alguns acontecimentos noticiados pelas mídias tradicionais/sociais, casos de violência entre crianças devido à disputa eleitoral para a Presidência da República, violência física de adultos contra crianças também por motivos políticos, além de outros casos que evidenciam uma política autoritária de subjetivação em ascensão e mudanças na dinâmica cultural. Os acontecimentos e as análises tecidas, a partir dos atravessamentos do militarismo sobre as subjetividades infantis, convergem no sentido de nos alertar para que as crianças passem a nos guiar nestas iminentes tarefas civilizatórias e epistemológicas. É possível que sigamos por esses caminhos, por meio de teorias relacionais e também por meio de nossos afetos como pesquisadores/as.
La lectura en el aula en dos asignaturas de la escuela secundaria: un estudio comparativo
Authors: Roldán Luis Ángel , Zabaleta Verónica , Arnés Victoria , Simiele Eugenia
Published: June 2024

Resumen: Este trabajo se propone un análisis comparativo de las actividades de lectura en dos asignaturas del primer año de la educación secundaria argentina: Prácticas del Lenguaje (PDL) y Ciencias Sociales (CS). Se grabaron en audio ocho clases, cuatro de cada uno de los espacios curriculares. Se analizaron de acuerdo con propuestas teóricas preexistentes que permiten segmentar las observaciones en diferentes unidades, caracterizar los tipos y funciones de lecturas y las estrategias promovidas. En las sesiones de PDL fue más frecuente la lectura como actividad típica de aula y se realizó poniendo en juego mayor variedad de estrategias que en CS. La lectura colectiva genuina mental predominó en PDL, mientras que en CS prevaleció la lectura por parte de las profesoras con comentarios. Los resultados permiten introducir reflexiones relativas a las intervenciones docentes en materia de lectura según la asignatura escolar y los distintos desafíos que supone su enseñanza.
Efeitos de conteúdos emocionais sobre o raciocínio dedutivo humano: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Pereira Luisa Braga , Fonseca Rodrigo Gabrig , Cagnin Simone
Published: June 2024

Resumo: O raciocínio e a emoção apresentam complexas e numerosas relações entre si, podendo prejudicar ou beneficiar o processamento lógico. Visando investigar a influência da tonalidade afetiva sobre o raciocínio, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática advinda da busca de estudos publicados nas bases de dados do Portal de Periódicos da Capes, Scielo, PubMed e Google Acadêmico. Os descritores utilizados foram: (affective content OR evaluative content OR emotion*) AND (reasoning). Após análise e submissão aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restaram 17 artigos, duas dissertações de mestrado e uma tese de doutorado. Apenas um dos estudos foi realizado no Brasil. Os participantes das pesquisas selecionadas tiveram pior desempenho nas tarefas de raciocínio formadas por conteúdos valorativos negativos. Entretanto, os conteúdos negativos influenciaram de forma positiva o raciocínio dedutivo quando se mostravam relevantes para a realização da tarefa. Assim, os estudos selecionados parecem apontar para a importância das emoções sobre o raciocínio humano.
Práticas de avaliação psicológica em suspeitas de abuso sexual infantil intrafamiliar no contexto do judiciário do estado do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Cunha Raquel Veloso da
Published: June 2024

Resumo: O artigo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa que investigou as práticas em avaliação psicológica realizadas pelos psicólogos forenses do judiciário fluminense nos processos judiciais envolvendo suspeita de abuso sexual infantil intrafamiliar. Foram realizadas entrevistas qualitativas com quatro analistas judiciários do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) e duas psicólogas peritas judiciais. A partir da análise de conteúdo de Bardin, emergiram três categorias: avaliação psicológica: percepções e recursos; perícias psicológicas em casos de abuso sexual infantil intrafamiliar; e dificuldades dos psicólogos forenses no contexto do TJRJ. Concluiu-se que as práticas avaliativas são diversas e que há pouca abertura por parte dos psicólogos forenses e da instituição judiciária fluminense para a utilização de instrumentos psicológicos além das entrevistas. O espaçamento temporal entre a ocorrência da violência e a perícia, o alto volume de trabalho e os curtos prazos processuais foram complicadores referidos por todos os participantes.
