Literatura infantil em ação: as marcas da autoria feminina nas obras aprovadas pelo PNLD/literário
Authors: Dias Ana Crelia Penha , Viana Camila Rodrigues
Published: April 2021

O lugar da mulher nas sociedades nunca esteve tanto em evidência como neste século, embora as discussões não tenham sido inauguradas agora. O presente trabalho faz um percurso de análise da representatividade de autoria feminina nas políticas públicas voltadas para o livro literário, especialmente em torno dos livros aprovados pelos Plano Nacional de Materiais e Livro Didático (PNLD) literários, do edital do ano de 2018. Com efeito, tecemos um diálogo entre a literatura infantil, a presença e a legitimação da autoria femininas, em uma historiografia com marcas de jogo simbólico e forças de gênero. Delineamos um caminho que buscou tanto quantificar as obras de autorias femininas como problematizar os critérios avaliativos do PNLD e a recorrência e predominância de algumas obras. Assim, notamos que a luta pelo lugar nas produções artísticas literárias ainda é progressiva e lenta, mas os resultados são expressivos e marcados na história.

O ensino/aprendizagem de Língua Portuguesa a partir dos gêneros do discurso
Authors: Giovani Fabiana
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo nasce a partir de um curso de formação continuada oferecido pelo PIBID (Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência) da Universidade Federal do Pampa (UNIPAMPA) aos professores de língua portuguesa da rede pública de Bagé-RS. O intuito da formação intitulada “O ensino/aprendizagem de Língua Portuguesa a partir dos gêneros do discurso” foi refletir sobre a importância que o texto ocupa no processo ensino/aprendizagem da língua portuguesa. Para isso, retomamos alguns pontos teóricos como: i) a mudança da nomenclatura da redação à produção de texto e a significação que comporta cada um dos termos; ii) a compreensão de gêneros a partir de Bakhtin (2003) e a transposição didática, segundo Schneuwly e Dolz (2004);  iii)  a importância de se pensar sobre as condições de produção de todo e qualquer texto. Por fim, os professores tiveram atividades práticas de escrita fundamentadas na teoria e que evidenciaram que trabalhar com o texto é deixar que a ‘vida’ invada o espaço da sala de aula.

Authors: Lawang Sitti Aizah , Jayaganda Idham , Daud Dasril
Published: April 2021

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate the role of TNFα-308 genetic polymorphism, association between TNF-α serum level and prognostic factor of mortality in pediatric sepsis.

METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study. Consecutive sampling method was used and samples were obtained from septic patients diagnosed based on the IPSC 2005 criteria. Serum TNF-α and genetic polymorphism were measuread and analyzed with ELISA and PCR plus sequencing, respectively.

RESULT: One hundred and seventeen samples were included, 62 were in survivor grioup and 55 in non survivor group. A very significant association was found between TNF-α serum level and mortality (p<0.001). The optimal cut off point of TNFα serum level as prognostic factor for mortality was ≥ 500 pg/mL (p<0.001 and OR 16.6) sensitivity 78.1%, specificity 82%, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) 79.6%, Negative Predictive Value (NPV) 80.9%, Area Under Curve (AUC) 0.811. Two samples showed TNFα-308A polymorphism and mutation of GG allele to heterozygote GA allele. Neither TNFα polymorphism and TNFα serum level showed any association with mortality. There was no significant association between TNFα-308 polymorphism and TNF-α serum level p=0.461(p>0.05) and mortality p=0.219 (p>0.05), all sample who had TNFα-308 genetic polymorphism were in non survivor group and had TNF-α serum level ≥ 500 pg/mL.

CONCLUSION: Genetic polymorphism of TNF-α-308 showed no statistic significant on mortality, but all subjects with TNFα-308 polymorphism had higher TNF-α serum and were all in non-survivor group.

Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND: Liver cirrhosis is one of common diseases that doctors deal with during working days, so it is important for all doctors to have a basic knowledge about its etiologies, clinical presentations, complications and prognosis.

AIM OF THE STUDY: 1) To detect the most common causes of liver cirrhosis among Iraqi patients. 2) To Find the most common clinical presentations and look for any association between them and a particular etiology. 3) To make recommendations regarding screening for the most common etiology among population and deal with it and treat it early prior to development of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.

PATIENT & METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2016 to January 2019. 1000 patients were enrolled in the current study and followed at medical wards at Baghdad teaching hospital, taking detailed history from them including history of alcohol intake, drug history, etc... and sending them for complete work up including Abdominal US, virology screening, autoimmune, Wilson, iron study etc... and calculating Child - Pugh score for each patient.

RESULTS: 1) The most common causes of liver cirrhosis are alcoholic liver disease (20%) and HCV (20%) followed by HBV (18%), NAFLD (14%), cryptogenic (14%), AIH (6%), Wilson (4%), PBC (4%). 2) the most common presentation of liver cirrhosis from all causes are ascites (38%) and encephalopathy (38%). followed by bleeding varices (21%), jaundice (11%). 3) HCV was associated significantly with Encephalopathy, NAFLD significantly associated with bleeding varices, Cryptogenic significantly associated with ascites, Wilson disease and PBC significantly associated with jaundice.

CONCLUSIONS: HCV and alcoholism are so common among Iraqi patients with liver cirrhosis, while NAFLD cases are commonly related to diabetes mellitus and obesity. Ascites and encephalopathy are the most common presentation at medical wards from all causes of liver cirrhosis. Most cases of liver cirrhosis due to HCV are within middle and elderly. While Wilson disease should be kept at the top of differential diagnosis of liver cirrhosis among young individuals as it is significantly related to young age group. Cryptogenic cases of liver cirrhosis need aggressive work up and screening for uncommon causes.

Published: April 2021

Suicide rates have taken on alarming dimensions with catastrophic consequences. This study aims to understand the perceptions of occupational medicine specialists about suicide prevention and describe what actions work organizations are taking to prevent suicide among their workers. This is an exploratory, cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study, carried out with 24 occupational medicine specialists with experience in workers’ mental health, using online forms. The analyses were performed using Excel and SPSS software. In the results, the indicators that most appeared among specialists as prevalent in the development of controls for suicide risk were: (1) to control the reasons for social security leaves (n = 23, 95.8%); (2) to train leaders for people management (n = 23, 95.8%); and (3) to have an official means of communication within the company to report violence at work (n = 20, 83.3%). There were 42 recommendations described by the specialists. They were grouped into 8 categories and are part of 4 different dimensions of suicide prevention. Suicide is a complex phenomenon of multifactorial nature, which involves all the dimensions of life and influences the people close to it directly and indirectly. Therefore, there is no single way to approach this issue in work organizations, nor a single way to promote prevention, given the fact that the practical experiences of the physicians expand the approach of health services.

Authors: Akhan Osman , Çiçek Samet
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to determine the historical literacy perception levels of social studies preservice teachers and to examine them in terms of various variables. In this framework, the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. The sample of this study consisted of 134 social studies preservice teachers studying at the faculty of education of a state university in the 2019-2020 academic year. The data in the study were collected with the "Historical Literacy Perception Scale" developed by Uluçay (2019), after obtaining the necessary permissions. The data obtained from the scale were analyzed using the statistical package program.

Considering the results obtained from the study, it was concluded that the social studies preservice teachers in the sample had high levels of historical literacy perception. In addition, their perception levels increased according to the variables of mother's education level and frequency of watching historical movies. On the other hand, their perceptions did not change / differ according to the variables such as grade level, gender, father's education level, tendency to read history books, to follow historical publications and competence of the teachers. Considering the results of the research in general, it can be said that the preservice teachers benefited sufficiently from their university and pre-university education in terms of historical literacy skills.

Published: April 2021

Background: Employability is often broadly defined as an individual’s ability to gain employment, to maintain employment or to replace an employment relationship by another. This study seeks to provide information on employability demands in the Ghanaian labour market.

Method: The study is based on an in-depth analysis of job advertisements in the most widely read national daily, the Daily Graphic Newspaper. Analysis of the study was done using IBM-SPSS version 25.

Results: More than half of all advertised jobs (54.3%) were for Professionals and Management Officials. About 22.8% of all advertised jobs were open to persons with no academic qualifications. Of the remaining 77.2% that required educational qualifications, almost half (47.3%) were open to university first degree holders. Job seekers who lack job-specific skills, computer literacy and communicative skills are not likely to succeed in the Ghanaian labour market. Also from the results, one may secure a job from age 25 and is most likely to secure a suitable job by age 35 with a minimum of 3 years of working experience. However, the likelihood of securing a job reduces as one approaches age 45.

Conclusion: The study concludes that training and preparation for the job market should begin early enough for all prospective job seekers. Also, persons undertaking higher learning should take advantage of any small period of time in internship programs, voluntary works and industrial attachments to acquire the necessary work experiences needed to be competitive in the search for jobs in the Ghanaian labour market.

INFLUENCE OF CORROSION PROCESSES ON FRICTION
AND WEAR OF TIN COATINGS OF WIRE CONNECTORS
Authors: Grygier Dominika , Kowalewski Piotr , Radzińska Angelika
Published: April 2021

The paper describes the results of metallographic, tribological, and microscopic tests of wire connectors. It
was shown that the structure and thickness of the tin layer on the copper element varies greatly. The paper
describes the results of tribological investigations for electrical connectors in the initial state and covered with
a layer of oxides formed as a result of corrosion. The results of tribological tests have shown a great influence
of the oxide layer on friction and wear of tin coatings. The results of friction factor measurements were
confirmed by microscopic observations. The tests confirmed that the oxide layer reduces plastic deformation
of the tin coating and limits its tribological wear. Due to the brittleness and low adhesion of the oxide layer,
friction-induced chipping was observed.
TYPE OF WEAR OF ALUMINIUM OXIDE LAYERS DEPENDING
ON MANUFACTURING PARAMETERS
Authors: Niedźwiedź Mateusz
Published: April 2021

The article presents the type of wear of Al2O3 layers produced on the aluminium alloy EN AW-5251 depending
on the production parameters. Oxide layers were produced by using DC anodizing in a ternary electrolyte at
variable current density and electrolyte temperature. The layer scratch tests were carried out using a Micron-
Gamma microhardness tester. The scratches of oxide layers were tested for the geometric structure of the
surface using a Form TalySurf 2 50i contact profilograph. Contact thickness measurements were also made
using a Dualscope MP40 device based on the eddy-current method. Using a scanning microscope (SEM),
photos of the sample surfaces were taken to show and compare the surface morphology of the anodized
layers in various parameters. Based on the research, it can be concluded that changes in the conditions of the
production process of Al2O3 layers (electrolyte temperature and current density) have an impact on the type
of tribological wear and changes in layer thickness. The largest thickness of the oxide layer (19.44 μm) was
measured for Sample B produced at a current density of 3A/dm2 at an electrolyte temperature of 283 K, which
was also characterized by the lowest value of the ratio of parameters f1 to f2 (0.584). The smallest thickness
(5.32 μm) was measured for the Sample C anodized at 1 A/dm2 at 303 K, this sample had the largest ratio f1
to f2 (1.068) for the produced Al2O3 layers. Thanks to the parameters f1 and f2 and the calculation of their
ratio, the wear process for Sample B was determined as scratching and microcutting, while for Sample C as
grooving.
Knowledge Resources Informing Lighting Design Practice in Egyptian TV and Film Industry
Authors: Matbouly Mustafa Yousry
Published: April 2021

This study investigated the knowledge resources informing television and film lighting design practice in Egypt and the value of suggesting scientific recommendations to be followed. A questionnaire was circulated among a considerable number of professional lighting designers, lighting directors, directors of photography and cameramen working in the Egyptian media industry. Most of those addressed by the survey indicated that their main knowledge resource during their work is likely to be their own past experience. Very few of them depend on the recommendations of scientific research. Moreover, critical analysis of the collected data showed that there is limited academic research in the discipline of lighting design available for Egyptian television and film practitioners to benefit from. It was concluded that the discipline of lighting design needs more scientific research to establish a database of findings, theories and paradigms just as any other design discipline.

Authors: Lukita Linda , Syarief Achmad , Riyadi Slamet , Sriwarno Andar Bagus
Published: April 2021

This study consisted of a perception evaluation and identification of scooter shapes that are attractive to female riders. A survey using a Likert scale was conducted on 150 female scooter riders, providing an evaluation of six different scooter shapes representing scooter designs in Indonesia. The result of the descriptive analysis showed that scooter designs in Indonesia are perceived as high-quality, comfortable to ride, able to be used by family members, fun to ride, relaxing, and giving self-confidence when they are ridden, all of which are physio-, socio- and psycho-pleasure factors, thus only achieving the visceral and behavioral phases. These perceptions are in accordance with the female gender (communal, high emotion and empathy). The scooter models considered to be attractive to female riders had perceptions related to the ideo-pleasure factor determined by shape details in the scooter design. The results of factor analysis showed a different composition of perception factors among scooter models. The conclusion of this study is that in addition to size, type and shape characteristics, designs, both the overall design and design details as well as gender characteristics influence the difference in visual perception by female riders toward scooter designs.Â Â

Authors: Anjos Patrícia Daniela Souza , Fraga Marinette Santana , Teodósio Armindo dos Santos de Sousa
Published: April 2021

Este artigo objetiva diagnosticar o perfil dos usuários de microcréditos nas principais instituições financeiras do Brasil para verificar se trabalhadores de rua como camelôs e vendedores ambulantes são alcançados por esse programa de inclusão financeira.  Utilizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o trabalho informal e o microcrédito, com recorte em suas características condicionais e a focalização do público-alvo. Em sequência, procedeu-se à pesquisa secundária nos sites institucionais dos principais bancos públicos que disponibilizam serviços de microfinanças ou microcréditos. Os resultados mostraram a existência de poucas instituições de caráter público que oferecem microcréditos para trabalhadores de rua como ambulantes e camelôs informais ou formais. Além disso, há a hipótese de que grande parte desses trabalhadores desconhece o microcrédito. Para essa assertiva, recomendam-se pesquisas qualitativas de campo por meio de entrevistas a esse público.
LATIN AMERICAN, AFRICAN AND ASIAN IMMIGRANTS WORKING IN BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATIONS: FACING THE LANGUAGE BARRIER
Authors: Carvalho Neto Antonio , Versiani Fernanda , Pellizari Kelly , Mota-Santos Carolina , Abreu Gustavo
Published: April 2021

Since 2010 around half a million immigrants entered Brazil. This paper aims to describe their experience facing the Portuguese language barrier in the Brazilian labor market. Language here is understood as spoken, written and body language. The South-to-South approach here proposed differs from most of the literature, based mainly on studies South-to-North oriented. During six field visits the research group observed the arrival in Brazil, the hiring process and the experience of 34 immigrants from Haiti, Bolivia, Venezuela, Angola, Nigeria, Togo, Iraq and Yemen working within ten Brazilian firms that hired them. Besides the observation technique, these immigrants, social workers, employers and Brazilian co-workers were interviewed. The employers emphasized the immigrants` enthusiasm, willingness to learn and dedication to work. The immigrants said they were well received and emphasized the use of Google Translator, mimicry and drawings to communicate. The employers said they used these same creative ways to teach the work activities to the immigrants as well as placing the immigrant next to another Brazilian worker who performed the same set of tasks so that the immigrant would learn by looking. Few complaints about lack of patience of Brazilian co-workers and lack of dedication of the immigrants to learn Portuguese were registered.
Biomechanical Aspects of the Static and Dynamic Patterns of the Feet of Runners with Plantar Fasciitis and Their Relationship with Sports Shoes
Authors: Paula Ribeiro Ana
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this literature review was to evaluate studies that have investigated static and dynamic biomechanical patterns of the feet in runners with plantar fasciitis, as well as their relationship with sports shoes and insoles prescription. Original articles with different design on this theme were considered. In general, the increase plantar load rates in runners with plantar fasciitis may be directly related to changes in the plantar arch (elevated) and the rearfoot alignment in pronation, as well as the effect of shoes or insoles to reduce heel pain. In summary, the clinical support of the literature review was showed that a decrease in the medial longitudinal arch induces greater mobility of the foot, which promotes a greater angle of rearfoot pronation to maintain the stability of the subtalar joint during static and dynamic feet support in activities, such as running. This results in a greater overload on the medial region of the calcaneus, producing greater stress on the plantar fascia, contributing to the development and progression of plantar fasciitis in runners. In addition, treatment of acute plantar fasciitis was associate to insoles while chronic phase associated for shoes ultra-flexible intermediate midsole for heel pain reduction and improvement foot biomechanics in runners with plantar fasciitis.
Giant Cell Arteritis: From Neurologist’s Perspective
Authors: Rajiv Keni Ravish , Sowmya M. , Swamy Sreekanta
Published: April 2021

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a granulomatous vasculitis affecting large- and medium-sized arteries in the elderly and potentially causes visual loss. In an elderly patient presenting with acute pain in the distribution of the external carotid artery (e.g., headache, scalp tenderness); polymyalgia rhematica; or acute/transient visual loss or diplopia; a possibility of GCA should be considered in one of the differential diagnosis. Urgent laboratory evaluation (e.g., ESR, CRP, platelet count), followed immediately by empiric high-dose corticosteroid therapy is warranted in patients suspected of having GCA. Although ultrasound techniques are sensitive for the diagnosis of GCA, TAB remains the best confirmatory test. Patients with GCA often require long durations of steroid therapy and steroid-related complications are common. Multidisciplinary care and the use of steroid-sparing regimens are warranted in case of relapse.
Innovative Designs in Household Biogas Digester in Built Neighbourhoods
Authors: Mbir Bryant Isaac , Osei-Marfo Martha
Published: April 2021

Most household biogas digesters operate on continuous automatic stirring modes. Often, these digesters rely on electrical energy for their continuous operations which are often mesophilic. Rarely do manually-stirred discontinuous household biogas digesters operating on hyper-thermophilic conditions exist. This work seeks to highlight some innovative designs in a household biogas digester piloted in Terterkessim slum in the K.E.E.A. Municipality of the Central Region, Ghana. A pyramidal dome-shape biogas digester was constructed on an abandoned septic tank using blocks and concrete. The digester has a rectangular sub-surface base and a pyramidal gas holder above the surface of the soil. The digester has a two-blade manual stirrer, a ball bearing affixed at the bottom and a handle to manually mix the content of the digester. In order to heat the content of the digester to a hyper-thermophilic condition for hygienising the digestate, a solar-photovoltaic was installed on the roof of a toilet connected to the household biogas digester.

Authors: Gharaghani Maral , Rezaei-Matehkolaei Ali , Hardani Amir Kamal , Zarei Mahmoudabadi Ali
Published: April 2021

Background: Candida glabrata is the second agent of candiduria with increased resistance to antifungals. Microsatellite length polymorphism (MLP) is one of the genotyping techniques used in the epidemiological investigation to improve clinical management. Objectives: We aimed to detect different genotypes of C. glabrata isolates using six microsatellite markers and the MLP technique. Moreover, our genotypes' association with other countries' genotypes was illustrated using a minimum spanning tree. We investigated in vitro antifungal susceptibility and enzymatic activity profiles of the isolates. Methods: Six microsatellite markers were amplified using multiplex-PCR for 22 C. glabrata strains isolated from urine in pediatric patients admitted to the Abuzar Children's Hospital in Ahvaz, Iran. The PCR products were presented for fragment analysis, and the size of the alleles was determined. Antifungal susceptibility tests and extracellular enzyme activities were also performed. Results: Nineteen multilocus genotypes were detected so that 22.7% of the strains had identical genotypes. The isolates were wild-type for amphotericin B (0.0625 - 2 µg/mL), itraconazole (0.125 - 2 µg/mL), and voriconazole (0.0078 - 0.00625 µg/mL). All the isolates were sensitive to fluconazole at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range (0.0312 - 16 μg/mL), and three of them were resistant to caspofungin (MIC ≥ 0.5 μg/mL). Moreover, 72.7 and 68.2% of the isolates had no phospholipase and esterase activities. The highest potency of enzymatic activity was obtained in hemolysin and proteinase enzymes. A high genetic diversity (19 genotypes of the 22 isolates) existed among the urinary C. glabrata isolates. Based on the minimum spanning tree, two clusters of our genotypes were related to C. glabrata genotypes in a previous study in Iran, and the third cluster was entirely connected with Chinese genotypes. Conclusions: Most of the isolates were the non-wild type for posaconazole but were rarely resistant to other antifungals. Hemolysin and proteinase secreted as the main virulence factors among the urinary C. glabrata isolates.

Mollusc fauna of three protected areas in the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, was revised after 25 years (Hvězda Game Reserve, Petřín) or studied for the first time (Vyšehrad). In total, 56 molluscs species were found and the survival of endangered species Vertigo angustior and Nesovitrea petronella in the Hvězda Game Reserve was verified. Generally, some sensitive species in well-preserved localities are being replaced by weed species, including non-indigenous ones such as the invasive Arion vulgaris, and the southern element Monacha cartusiana. On the other hand, some woodland species such as Arianta arbustorum, Urticicola umbrosus, Eucobresia diaphana, Arion silvaticus and Lehmannia marginata apparently spread in Prague.
Acceptance of Teledermoscopy by General Practitioners and Dermatologists in Denmark
Authors: Vestergaard Tine , Andersen Merethe K. , Bygum Anette
Published: April 2021

Background: Teledermoscopy can be used to triage referrals of suspected skin cancers, thereby reducing waiting time and number of face-to-face consultations with a dermatologist. However, the success of the implementation of this technology in part relies on the acceptance of the providers.

Objectives: This study assessed the attitudes towards teledermoscopy of referring general practitioners and consultant dermatologists.

Methods: General practitioners from 48 practices and 3 dermatologists in the region of Southern Denmark, who had previous experience with teledermoscopy, were invited to answer questionnaires on their acceptance of the technology.

Results: General practitioners from 23 practices responded. All domains of the questionnaire received high scores, indicating a high degree of acceptance of teledermoscopy among respondents. All 3 dermatologists agreed that teledermoscopy was useful for triaging referrals, but they were less confident in their diagnoses and management plans proposed by teledermoscopy than in traditional face-to-face evaluations of patients. Two of the 3 dermatologists were satisfied with using teledermoscopy as a consult method.

Conclusions: This study reports high levels of provider acceptance of teledermoscopy. However, a low response rate among general practitioners may limit its generalizability.
Conscience and Religious Freedom Trump Public Health
Authors: Vacca Michael Arthur ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: April 2021

Conscience rights and public health often come into conflict. Both Catholic social teaching and the natural moral law give primacy to conscience and religious freedom. Those who put public health on a par with conscience and religious freedom, or who imply an equivalence among them, as if they were comparable elements of public policy, are misguided, however well intentioned. Ironically, the common good that is the foundation of the right to public health is harmed by violating conscience and religious freedom. The principle should be clear: all of society, not solely the state, should promote the common good through public health and safety measures insofar as doing so does not violate the dignity of the human person, especially in matters of conscience and religious freedom.

Published: April 2021

The present essay questions at the same time it acknowledges the historical and logical conditions of existence of painting as an expanded field. The expanded field of painting is presented using a Greimas rectangle that incorporates the notions of uniqueness/reproducibility, multidimensional affine spaces, and history. The essay provides an understanding of the discipline and of the art-works that make it possible to locate different artistic manifestations taking place today in society.
Design para sustentabilidade
Authors: Assunção Letícia Formoso , Jacques Jocelise Jacques de
Published: April 2021

Neste artigo, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, objetiva-se explorar as contribuições do conceito de design reflexivo (NORMAN, 2008) na expectativa de longevidade dos produtos de moda, em busca de um cenário mais sustentável mediante o despertar de emoções agradáveis e a criação de vínculos afetivos entre os usuários e suas roupas. Considerando que parte da problemática socioambiental provém dos impactos de produção e consumo provocados pelo sistema de moda, opera-se a ideia de desenvolvimento de produtos que possam durar mais em função de seu valor emocional e que, portanto, venham contribuir para a desaceleração dos ciclos de descarte e substituição. Diante deste contexto, tomando como base a teoria do Design Emocional (JORDAN, 1999; DESMET, 2002; NORMAN, 2008), são elaboradas estratégias de design reflexivo que possam auxiliar na concepção de projetos com foco na facilitação de experiências emocionalmente duráveis.
1871 dans la poésie orale kabyle
Authors: Lahlou Abdelhak
Published: April 2021

L’insurrection de 1871 est un événement majeur qui a profondément marqué la Kabylie. Rien ne l’a autant et plus durablement bouleversée que l’insurrection d’El Hadj Mohand Aït Mokrane (El Mokrani) et du cheikh El Haddad. Cette révolte populaire a eu des conséquences désastreuses pour les Kabyles qui ont perdu leurs terres, leur élite traditionnelle et leur style de vie. La défaite et ses conséquences ont traumatisé la population au point qu’elles n’ont pas pu manquer de laisser des traces dans la poésie populaire. Le séquestre et la spoliation des terres, l’effondrement des structures de l’ancienne société kabyle, la violence de la répression et le triomphe définitif de la colonisation ont inspiré une poésie nouvelle. Plus douloureuse et plus inquiète, celle-ci exprime deux sentiments nouveaux inconnus jusque-là dans la tradition de la poésie kabyle : la stupeur et le désarroi qui ont saisi la population au lendemain de cette défaite. Notre propos s’attache à lire les traces de cet événement traumatisant dans la poésie orale kabyle. Nous montrons la manière dont les poètes se sont appropriés l’événement pour témoigner du désastre de 1871 et de ses conséquences dans l’imaginaire populaire.
L’Autre France : représentations théâtrales et imaginaire colonial au tournant du xxe siècle
Authors: Gregório Amélie
Published: April 2021

En 1900, le Théâtre de l’Ambigu met à l’affiche L’Autre France de Pierre Decourcelle et Hugues Le Roux. Cette oeuvre emprunte à la fois aux codes du drame, du mélodrame et de la pièce militaire. Elle est l’adaptation théâtrale du Maître de l’heure (1897), roman à succès de Le Roux – ou, si l’on en croit l’auteur, « livre d’histoire » – qui retrace la révolte menée par le bachaga El Mokrani en Kabylie en 1871. L’Autre France, dont l’intrigue et les péripéties s’inscrivent dans une poétique du genre déclinée à de multiples reprises sur les théâtres français depuis la prise d’Alger, mêle des éléments historiques et fictifs, dans une « mise en scène pittoresque ». Cette formule consensuelle est immodérément utilisée par les critiques à une époque où l’Algérie, passée aux mains des civils avec l’installation de la République, est pourtant présentée comme une partie de la France. Le titre choisi pour l’adaptation du roman de Le Roux révèle cette tension entre altérité exotique et continuité territoriale. Trente ans après les faits, la pièce suscite dans la presse de vifs débats dramaturgiques et esthétiques, mais aussi politiques. L’oeuvre, marquée par une dimension patriotique attendue, donne au chef Mokrani un rôle plutôt valorisant qui déplaît à certains critiques. L’étude croisée du manuscrit inédit de la pièce et de sa réception montre que les représentations théâtrales de l’autre, kabyle et arabe, et de l’ailleurs algérien sont profondément travaillées par l’imaginaire collectif et par l’exercice de la domination coloniale, dans un spectacle populaire qui questionne le traitement dramatique de l’histoire.
Creating a positive elementary school climate based on cooperation between the form teacher, headmaster and social pedagogue
Authors:   Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Blaštíková Lucie
Published: April 2021

The empirical study presents the dimension of positive school climate using illustrative models that reflect the statements of the participants of a qualitatively oriented research survey including semi-structured interviews. The theoretical introduction deals with the definition of key concepts and briefly outlines selected domestic and foreign models of positive climate. Based on the interviews, it was found that interpersonal relationships are important for all actors who create the school climate and influence mutual cooperation. Teachers point to the need for a fair approach to all pupils; the school principal pays attention to physical and social-emotional security; and the social educator seeks to work with groups of pupils as well as provide counselling for teachers. The aim is to link all these processes in the interest of a positive school climate. For this reason, it is necessary to focus on the mutual cooperation of selected actors who affect the school climate and to reveal possible shortcomings in the field of their cooperation. These shortcomings include, in particular, little involvement, disinterest, lack of concern or poor school philosophy.
The resilience of high school students, analysis of compensatory measures, and preferred strategies for coping with adverse situations
Authors:   Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Nečasová Lucie
Published: April 2021

The study presents the results of measuring the resilience of high school students. The main goal is to find whether there is a link between the resilience of students and preferred coping strategies. Quantitative research was subsequently conducted with students in the 2nd and 3rd years of secondary schools. The research included a questionnaire survey in which students were presented with two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was self-designed and aimed to assess the level of resilience; the second standardized questionnaire focused on the preferred choice of coping strategies. Responses were received from a total of 516 respondents. The data were evaluated using the tools of descriptive statistics. The results showed that pupils' resilience is generally at a good level. In addition, five key factors improving and lowering resilience were identified. Furthermore, five preferred strategies and five strategies that students prefer to avoid when dealing with problem situations were identified. At the same time, a direct correlation between the effort to take an active approach to solve problems and the degree of resilience was observed; this is considered to be the main outcome of the study.
