The Logic of Generation, Development and Transformation of the Idea (a Case Study on the Pupil’s Agency)
Authors: Halian O.
Published: December 2021

This research deals with the developmental peculiarities of the idea of the pupil’s agency from a position of formal, psychological and pedagogical logic. Taking into account the determinism of creating the idea by the laws of logic, creative thinking and obvious and hidden conditions in the assessment of the situation, the suggested approach is considered to be relevant. In addition, there is an urgent need to determine the genesis of the ideas of the national educational area that influenced the consideration of the pupil’s personality in the dimensions of agency.

The material of the research consists of publications on the study of national historical and pedagogical process in the twentieth century. This made it possible to determine the context of generating ideas about the pupil’s personality in the national pedagogical discourse of the twentieth century. Application of the problem-chronological method helped to identify current trends in the period studied as to the perception of the pupil as personality in connection with social, culturological processes as well as attempts to reform the educational system or its individual components.

The results obtained focus on the analysis of the concept of "idea", determine its place in understanding the conceptual direction of educational change taking into account the importance of finding the origins of the formation of ideas about "agency" as a new category for pedagogy. There have been described the factors generating pedagogical ideas in the context of the research on agency of the pupil’s personality. Among them are intellectual factors, factors of the information field, peculiarities of the environment, specific characteristics of the idea and the generation process itself. According to the suggested methods of generating ideas about agency, there has been traced the impact of organizational pedagogical and semantic determinants on the development of the ideas about agency of the pupil’s personality in the national pedagogical discourse of the twentieth century.

The main conclusion of the research: in the history of the educational thought and educational system of Ukraine in different periods of the twentieth century we can trace syncretism that, on the one hand, determines progressive views on the pupil’s personality, the need for his/her active involvement in education and upbringing, uncontrolled innovation, and on the other hand, monoideological (despite pluralism, achievements of the "restructuring"), the social order imposed from the outside. Whereas the development a priori involves solving a series of contradictions, it is believed that the best battle of ideas reflects the establishment of scientific knowledge.
НУМІНОЗНЕ ЯК КАТЕГОРІЯ ФЕНОМЕНОЛОГІЇ РЕЛІГІЇ ТА ЙОГО ВТІЛЕННЯ В ОПЕРІ Р. ВАГНЕРА "ТАНГЕЙЗЕР"
Authors: Копоть І. , Кукуре С.
Published: December 2021

Актуальність дослідження обумовлена значущістю творчості Р. Вагнера, інтерес до якої не вичерпується і потребує дедалі глибшого наукового осмислення, зокрема в аспекті феноменології релігії (окрім опери Тангейзер", це також "Лоенгрін", тетралогія "Перстень нібелунга" та "Парсифаль"). Постановка проблеми та ступінь наукової розробленості. Проблеми осмислення релігійного ставлення людини до дійсності належать до провідних завдань феноменології релігії. Якщо ж така проблематика розглядається в площині творів мистецтва, формується синергетичний ефект, який розкриває нові смисли як досліджуваного феномена, серед яких – творчість Р. Вагнера. Метою дослідження є аналітичний погляд на особливості розуміння та втілення нумінозного в опері Р. Вагнера "Тангейзер", звернення до лібрето та музики, які розглядаються як першоджерело без торкання змісту численних сценічних інтерпретацій та виконавських прочитань, хоча такий аспект також може бути вельми плідним у світлі заявленої проблематики. Наукова новизна полягає у виборі ракурсу дослідження, який дозволяє побачити та усвідомити розуміння нумінозного, репрезентоване композитором  в музичному творі. В такому аспекті опера Р. Вагнера "Тангейзер" розглядається вперше. Виклад основного матеріалу включає аналіз категорії нумінозного, запропонованій німецьким філософом Р. Отто. У цьому визначенні Р. Отто намагається зрозуміти первісний сенс поняття "священне", яке не може бути зведене до етичних категорій моральності, добра, блага та інших. В цьому сенсі ідеальним матеріалом може стати мистецтво, створення та сприйняття якого базується на відчуттях, і містить трансцендентність, духовність, самодостатність. "Нумінозні відчуття" складають особливий шар змісту опери і можуть вплинути на режисерські рішення при постановці твору. Водночас, напрацювання в сфері аналізу музичних творів в аспекті феноменології релігії розвивають ідеї Р. Отто, який запропонував використання категорії "нумінозне" до аналізу музики. Conclusion. Розглянувши нумінозне як категорію феноменології релігії та його втілення в опері Р. Вагнера "Тангейзер", можемо зробити наступні висновки: 1. Категорія "нумінозне" має великі перспективи застосування в мистецтвознавстві, розкриваючи в творах мистецтва нові грані смислів. 2. Застосування категорії «нумінозне» до аналізу опер Р. Вагнера, релігійна складова змісту яких не викликає сумніву, дозволяє відкрити нові смисли творів, які йдуть на сцені понад півтора століття. 3. Застосована як інструмент аналізу творів мистецтва, категорія "нумінозне" збагачує свій зміст і в сфері власне феноменології релігії. 4. Перспективою дослідження може стати аналіз й інших опер Р. Вагнера, зокрема "Лоенгрін", "Тристан і Ізольда", тетралогія "Перстень нібелунга", "Парсифаль".
СУГЕСТИВНО-КАТАРСИЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ МУЗИЧНОГО ДУХОВНОГО МИСТЕЦТВА В КОНТЕКСТІ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ РЕЛІГІЙНОСТІ
Authors: Мельничук М.
Published: December 2021

У статті представлені концепції філософсько-релігієзнавчих та мистецтвознавчих студій, які стосуються явища духовного в контексті релігійного музичного мистецтва, сугесивних аспектів впливу сакрального на людину та її буттєвість.

Наукова розвідка присвячена конкретним прикладам співвідношення естетичних аспектів, релігійного змісту та сакрального навантаження в розрізі духовного музичного мистецтва на тлі української традиційності. Ці приклади ілюструються в ракурсі різномаїття типологій вивчення, як традиційних так і новітніх філософсько-мистецтвознавчих та релігієзнавчих традицій. Акценти, котрі ставить автор статті, присвячені теоретичним та методологічним питанням в ракурсі поняття психологічного обґрунтування катарсичних та сугестивних навантажень в розрізі сприйняттєвості свідомістю українського музичного мистецтва релігійної спрямованості. Аналізуються зарубіжні підходи до дослідження духовного музичного мистецтва як явища культури.

Автор дослідження наголошує щодо необхідності акцентуації в ракурсі моральнісного наповнення духовної музики. Адже вона, будучи спрямованою до духовного світу людини, формує її етичні та естетичні почуття. Аргументовано, що духовна музика як важлива  складова української національної культури містить в собі величезний потенціал у формуванні особистості.

Виявлено, що становлення високодуховної особистості не можливе без розуміння та відповідного сприйняття релігійного музичного мистецтва. В наших наукових пошуках особливе місце займає вивчення розвитку музичного сприйняття і музичного мислення, розуміння музики як особливої мови, що несе духовну інформацію і енергію думки. Вважаємо, що музичне духовне мистецтво в ракурсі християнської традиції може бути найважливішою частиною, квінтесенцієюцього процесу. Будучи "стрижнем", що пронизує всю українську і європейську музичну культуру, вона несе в собі "програмність", яка спрощує розуміння явищ музичної культури, що належать різним епохам, стилям і напрямкам.

Доведено, що духовна і, зокрема, українська духовна музика є найбільш суттєвими компонентами активізації музичного сприйняття і формування загальної і музичної культури.

En este video se describen los pasos a seguir para el tallado de una gran cavidad que afecta a varias superficies de un molar y que no se engloba en ninguno de las clases cavitarias clásicas, así como su posterior obturación con amalgama de plata. Debido a la gran destrucción que se ha producido, y dado que la amalgama no es un material adhesivo per se, se describen diferentes formas de conseguir una mayor estabilidad y retención del material restaurador en la cavidad (Amalgama Adherida y sistemas de anclajes complementarios: rieleras).

La amalgama de plata es un material con unas grandes propiedades mecánicas y un excelente comportamiento clínico. A pesar de su bajo nivel de estética y su potencial toxicidad medioambiental, sigue siendo un material versátil y con aplicaciones clínicas claras que pueden ser necesarias en ciertas circunstancias clínicas. Por este motivo es importante conocer su comportamiento, indicaciones, manejo, y técnicas de utilización.
SOBRE LA NOCIÓN DE LO MONSTRUOSO EN LA FILOSOFÍA CRÍTICA DE INMMANUEL KANT
Authors: Arriagada Patricio , Ibarra B. Victor
Published: December 2021

Este artículo aborda el problema de la representación de víctimas y victimarios en el espacio público. Pretendemos reflexionar sobre la interpretación de los perpetradores a partir de la noción de lo monstruoso. La categoría estética de lo monstruoso tiene la deficiencia de no abordar de modo apropiado el objeto que se califica como tal. Luego, mostraremos cómo esta cuestión ha estado también a la base de la discusión museográfica a través del análisis de una de las experiencias supuestamente más exitosas de transición memorial: la desnazificación en Alemania. Veremos cómo, en este caso, la representación de los perpetradores ha oscilado entre el monstruo y el humano, dando lugar a respuestas estéticas que evidencian la necesidad de cuestionar cualquier a priori histórico al analizar la violencia de Estado.

Authors: Soares de Abreu Filho Dimas , José Targino Ribeiro Pedro
Published: December 2021

Introdução: O primeiro laser surgiu na década de 1960, e, desde então, vários estudos foram desenvolvidos a respeito das suas propriedades de fotobiomodulação através da sua irradiação nas células e tecidos animais. Objetivo: Esta revisão de literatura integrativa teve como objetivo esclarecer as diferenças entre os lasers de alta intensidade e os lasers de baixa intensidade, e avaliar sua utilização na odontologia, dissertando sobre os seus efeitos terapêuticos nos tecidos bucais. Com base nos achados bibliográficos atuais, busca-se entender os efeitos bioestimulantes a nível celular dos lasers de baixa potência, em virtude do seu uso como fator principal ou coadjuvante no controle e avanço dos processos inflamatórios, alívio da dor e cicatrização das feridas. Métodos: Através desta pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, espera-se comprovar a efetividade da terapia fotobiomoduladora, assim como evidenciar a aplicabilidade do laser nas principais áreas da odontologia, e, por fim, proporcionar uma ampla visão a respeito da importância de conhecer essa tecnologia com o propósito de trazer mais conforto ao paciente, agregando mais valor e referência ao cirurgião-dentista. A pesquisa foi realizada em plataformas de dados LILACS, SCIELO e PUBMED, foram selecionados estudos que comprovem a eficácia da utilização do laser de baixa intensidade e alta intensidade, nas respectivas áreas de atuação da odontologia, com publicações no período de 2016 e 2021, somente estudos com ensaio clínico serão citados na pesquisa. Resultados e discussão: Após o levantamento de 47 textos em potencial, destes, 28 foram excluídos por não apresentarem os critérios inclusão da pesquisa, restando apenas 19 artigos. Dos artigos em questão, os autores demonstram a diferença entre os lasers utilizados em suas pesquisas e avaliam sua utilização na odontologia, dissertando sobre seus efeitos terapêuticos nos tecidos bucais, é de grande importância que o profissional entenda o quanto os lasers podem ser úteis na redução das sintomatologias dolorosas no pós-operatório de determinadas condutas odontológicas. Conclusão: Contudo, sabe se que os lasers de baixa intensidade são de grande utilidade na rotina de consultório odontológico sempre que houver a necessidade de promover analgesia, reparo tecidual, modulação da inflamação ou terapia antimicrobiana, os lasers de alta potência conseguem promover incisões cirúrgicas com total controle e livre de sangramento em alguns casos, além do seu efeito biomodulador em certo grau. É notório saber que as terapias com laser de baixa e alta intensidade, estão cada vez mais em evidência na mão do odontologista, em virtude dos seus benefícios e conforto ao paciente, durante e após os procedimentos.

Energy Consumption for Acceleration of the Upper Parts of Plants in the Interval between the Belt of the Upper Conveyor and the Deck
Authors: Николаев В.А. , Гумённый В.В.
Published: December 2021

Задачей любого технологического процесса является выполнение заданной работы с необходимым качеством и наименьшими затратами энергии. При уборке зерновых культур зерноуборочными комбайнами наибольшие затраты энергии связаны с выделением зёрен из колосьев. Это обусловлено необходимостью протаскивания соломы через молотильное устройство. Чтобы выделить зёрна из колосьев методом вытирания, необходимо срезать только верхние части растений. Оставшиеся стебли соломы следует измельчать и, в зависимости от технологии, либо рассеивать по полю, либо погружать в транспортные средства для использования в животноводстве. Существуют два варианта исполнения устройства для извлечения зёрен из колосьев: с декой, совершающей колебания, и с неподвижной декой. Извлечение зёрен из колосьев методом вытирания, когда дека неподвижна, является энергетически более целесообразным в сравнении с вариантом конструктивного исполнения комбайна, у которого дека совершает колебания. После попадания верхней части растения в промежуток между лентой верхнего транспортёра и декой происходит её линейное и угловое ускорение. Как на линейное, так и на угловое ускорение верхней части растения расходуется энергия. В результате расчётов определена энергия, необходимая для ускорения верхних частей растений, расположенных на деке, и потребляемая мощность.

The task of any technological process is to perform the specified work with the required quality and the lowest energy consumption. When harvesting grain crops with combine harvesters, the greatest energy costs are associated with the extract of grains from ears. This is due to the need to pull straw through the threshing device. To extract grains from ears by grinding, it is necessary to cut only the upper parts of plants. The remaining straw stems should be ground and depending on the technology either scattered across the field or loaded in vehicles for use in animal husbandry. There are two versions of the device for extracting grains from ears: with a deck making vibrations, and with a fixed deck. The extraction of grains from the ears by the grinding method when the deck is stationary is energetically more expedient compared to the design version of the combine in which the deck oscillates. After the upper part of the plant enters the gap between the belt of the upper conveyor and the deck its linear and angular acceleration occurs. Both linear and angular acceleration of the upper part of the plant consumes energy. As a result of the calculations, the energy necessary to accelerate the upper parts of plants located on the deck and the power consumption were determined.
The application of the rights and obligations of workers during the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia
Authors: Hamid Adnan
Published: December 2021

This article aims to examine and analyze the rights and obligations of workers /laborers during the Covid-19 outbreak from the perspective of labor law in Indonesia. The complexity of the issue regarding the rights and obligations of workers has increased again when the Government and the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia passed the Law on Job Creation or Undang-Undang tentang Cipta Kerja  Nomor 11 tahun 2020 (UUCK No.11/2020). The research method used is a normative juridical approach. Normative juridical research is usually known as the study of documents, using qualitative methods in analyzing data and using secondary data as sources.The results of this study found that the labor and industrial relations sector, especially related to the rights and obligations of workers and employers, was initially strongly influenced by the development of globalization and information communication technology. Then, with the enactment of UUCK No.11/2020 as the latest labor law in Indonesia, and the outbreak of Covid-19, problems related to industrial relations have become increasingly complex. When viewed from the latest labor law in Indonesia, employers tend to have a stronger position when compared to the position of workers both in terms of interpretation and implementation. This is a challenge in national legislation so that legal efforts are needed to guarantee and provide legal certainty to business actors by applying sanctions in the form of criminal sanctions as ius poenale and ius puniendi.
Robust PPG Peak Detection Using Dilated Convolutional Neural Networks

Published: December 2021

Accurate peak determination from noise-corrupted photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal is the basis for further analysis of physiological quantities such as heart rate and heart rate variability. In the past decades, many methods have been proposed to provide reliable peak detection. These peak detection methods include rule-based algorithms, adaptive thresholds, and signal processing techniques. However, they are designed for noise-free PPG signals and are insufficient for PPG signals with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This paper focuses on enhancing PPG noise-resiliency and proposes a robust peak detection algorithm for noise and motion artifact corrupted PPG signals. Our algorithm is based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with dilated convolutions. Using dilated convolutions provides a large receptive field, making our CNN model robust at time series processing. In this study, we use a dataset collected from wearable devices in health monitoring under free-living conditions. In addition, a data generator is developed for producing noisy PPG data used for training the network. The method performance is compared against other state-of-the-art methods and tested in SNRs ranging from 0 to 45 dB. Our method obtains better accuracy in all the SNRs, compared with the existing adaptive threshold and transform-based methods. The proposed method shows an overall precision, recall, and F1-score 80%, 80%, and 80% in all the SNR ranges. However, these figures for the other methods are below 78%, 77%, and 77%, respectively. The proposed method proves to be accurate for detecting PPG peaks even in the presence of noise.
Leveraging Secondary Reflections and Mitigating Interference in Multi-IRS/RIS Aided Wireless Network
Authors: Nguyen Tu , Nguyen Diep , Renzo Marco Di , Zhang Rui
Published: December 2021

Reconfigurable surfaces (RS) have recently emerged as an enabler for smart radio environments where they are used to actively tailor/control the radio propagation (e.g., to support users under adverse channel conditions). If multiple RSs are deployed (e.g., coated on various buildings) to support different groups of users, it is critical to jointly optimize the phase-shifts of all RSs to mitigate their interference as well as to leverage the secondary reflections amongst them. Motivated by the above, this paper considers the uplink transmissions of multiple users that are grouped and supported by multiple RSs to communicate with a multi-antenna base station (BS). We first formulate two optimization problems: the weighted sum-rate maximization and the minimum achievable rate (from all users) maximization. Unlike existing works that considered single user or single RS or multiple RSs without inter-RS reflections, the considered problems require one to optimize the phase-shifts of all RSs' elements and all beamformers at the multi-antenna BS. The two problems turn out to be non-convex and thus are difficult to be solved in general. Moreover, the inter-RS reflections give rise to the coupling of the phase-shifts amongst RSs, making the optimization problems even more challenging to solve. To tackle them, we design alternating optimization algorithms that provably converge to locally optimal solutions. Simulation results reveal that by properly managing interference and leveraging the secondary reflections amongst RSs, there is a great benefit of deploying more RSs to support different groups of users and so as to achieve a higher rate per user. This gain is even more significant with a larger number of elements per RS. In contrast, without properly managing the secondary reflections, increasing the number of RSs can adversely impact the network throughput, especially for higher transmit power.

The PEERS® (Program for Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) training targets age-appropriate social skills. By the use of homework assignments and parallel parent sessions the generalization of skills enhanced. The results of this randomized controlled trial show that social skills significantly improved, as indicated by both selfand parent reports. However, the significant increase in observed social skills as observed in the PEERS® condition was as large as the increase observed in the active control condition. Further research will target mediators and moderators of treatment effects.
Critical geopolitics, the Shanghai cooperation organization and the sino-kazakh water agreements
Authors: Gualberto do Nascimento Lucas
Published: December 2021

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), previously known as the Shanghai Five, was formed in June 2001 as a security engagement organization. It is a highly influential organization in the Eurasian continent, and most Central Asian countries – Kazakhstan included - are members of SCO, as well as China.
In recent years, the Chinese water diplomacy towards Kazakhstan has advanced in different agreements that are shaping the patterns of water security in Central Asia. The Chinese strategic interest in the development of the scope of the SCO in this region has made Kazakh transboundary water issues to advance in negotiations. However, these agreements have been made in a bilateral scheme, which is considered relatively unequal towards Kazakh interests; therefore, in spite of the Kazakh efforts, the SCO so far has not turned into a water security organization.
This paper is going to analyze the current trends in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as the Sino-Kazakh cooperation platform, especially regarding transboundary water resources. From the perspective of the critical geopolitics scholarship and its considerations regarding the concepts of hegemony and zones of influence, the idea that the Sino-Kazakh cooperation has advanced following Chinese interests is going to be defended. In conclusion, this paper states that due to the lack of interest regarding Chinese water diplomacy, and despite of Kazakh efforts, the SCO is not in the near future launching great initiatives regarding water security in the region, reinforcing the Chinese diplomacy of bilateral water agreements.

A nova Gazeta Renana
Authors: Coelho Henrique Leão
Published: December 2021

The text aims to show, from the writings of Marx of 1850 in Nova Gazeta Renana, the thesis of the ontonegativity of politics, that is, the insufficiency of the political scope for the consignment of social revolution, being reiterated by the important and divisive French historical events of 1848-49 analyzed by the German author. With this, Marx intends to clarify how the apex moment of 1848 consolidated the bourgeois domination on the one hand, while it brought about the loss of political illusions of the French working class with the bourgeois republic as the complete means of its emancipation.

Published: December 2021

The present study is a quali-quantitative, descriptive and basic documentary research, which consists of an altmetric study of the Movimento journal, by the Postgraduate Program in Physical Education, of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. It analyzes all posts of the journal as profiles on the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, since their creation, with the aim of describing the posts made, analyzing the metrics regarding the periodicity and visibility, and pointing out which ones generate better engagement, besides describing the Facebook and Twitter followers profile in terms of interests and place of residence. Presents an analysis of the comments on Instagram. Date, typology, quantity and periodicity of the posts and number of mentions were collected manually in the three social networks. On Facebook and Twitter, were collected the name, city or country of domicile or origin, and profession or academic background of the followers who interacted with the posts. On Instagram, were collected the content of the comments. The results show that, over time, the engagement has increased on the three social networks, despite the periodicity of the posts being irregular. The most recurrent posts are the articles and essays. Movimento has a broad nationwide reach and a moderate international reach, featuring the interaction of academic, social and institutional profiles. It concludes that the posts with more engagement are the ones which convey current topics. Twitter is the social network which presents higher engagement with a group formed by social profile, in spite of showing less interactivity. Facebook is the social network which presents higher engagement of academic profile. Instagram is the social network which promotes most interaction and engagement in general.
A Semantic-relations taxonomy for knowledge representation
Authors: Maia Lucinéia Souza , Ângela de Lima Gercina
Published: December 2021

Semantic relations in knowledge representation characterizes the association between the concepts of a domain. Concepts are units of knowledge and the relationships that link these units, which gives meaning to the knowledge as represented. In this way, semantic relations allow users to assimilate the purpose of the association between concepts in the presentational context, avoiding misinterpretation of the information, mainly that presented in instruments of knowledge representation.The objective of this paper is to propose a taxonomy of semantic relations that compiles the different approaches on the subject. The methodology applied bibliographic research for theoretical foundation and literature review based on the main bibliographic references on semantic relations. As result, some classifications of semantic relations were found to have been raised by different authors, each offering a singular point of view, which has resulted in a range of discordant terms. To answer this need, a taxonomy was arrived at of sixty-three semantic relations, including a new relation discovered by this study, dubbed here ‘subordinate agent’.

Published: December 2021

The work presents a study on the public library, its potential and the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. Therefore, a bibliographic search was carried out in the Information Science Database (BRAPCI) and in the repository of the Brazilian Federation of Librarians, Information Scientists, and Institutions Associations (FEBAB) to find publications with dates between 2015 and 2021. From this search, some scientific productions that present actions developed by public libraries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by Agenda 2030 were selected. This bibliographic material was analyzed to know how public libraries have been leading the social transformation of their communities based on the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. It was concluded that the actions developed by public libraries to meet the SDGs are important and that other libraries should get involved in this campaign and disseminate their actions and results to inspire new actions.
INFANT HOSPITAL LIBRARY
Authors: Ávila Bruno , Silva Murilo
Published: December 2021

The child, when hospitalized, loses the freedom to play, as he is accustomed to, for being confined in a hospital environment, subject to a medical treatment that can cause pain and fear. The adult who accompanies needs information about the disease and the treatment of the child. The infant hospital library attempts to meet the needs of both of its users. However, such a library has not been thoroughly considered for scientific inquiry. Hence, this paper investigates its structure and actions by addressing three subjects as follows. First, a software was developed specifically for this type of library, which registered the catalog, users and loans data of two years of service of a voluntary infant hospital library in a Brazilian state public hospital. Then, an exploratory study of the reading preferences of the users while hospitalized was carried out, whose findings follow. Adults play an important role in encouraging and assisting recreational reading, which occurred in all age groups of a child and similarly between genders. Furthermore, users preferred to read literature, religious and comic books in their native language that generally consist of short stories. Finally, collection development policies were determined based on the users’ reading preferences.

Authors: Cirino Andréia Lopes Cirino , Silva Laíza Nília da , Melo James Rocha Rodrigues
Published: December 2021

A discussão sobre como determinadas questões tornam-se problemas públicos e emergem na agenda governamental é primordial para a compreensão das políticas públicas e da vida política de um Estado. A fim de modelar a escolha organizacional para entender o processo de agenda-setting, Kingdon elaborou o Modelo dos Múltiplos Fluxos. O presente estudo buscou compreender a agenda-setting, evidenciando a importância da mesma no cenário político. Como resultado, ressalta-se que a criação e aplicação do Modelo de Múltiplos Fluxos fizeram com que a agenda-setting ganhasse formas, tornando possível identificar suas etapas decisórias e os agentes envolvidos, adicionalmente, o modelo ajuda a entender o papel das ideias neste processo, fornecendo uma visão menos funcionalista e técnica de um processo farto de complexidades e contingências.

Authors: Moreira Antonio Glaydson Lima , Moreira Renato Teixeira
Published: December 2021

A evasão de alunos é um fenômeno que tem merecido a atenção de pesquisadores e gestores da educação, sendo constantemente noticiadas informações sobre o número de alunos concludentes cada vez menor. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar e comparar os índices de evasão e permanência do curso técnico em aquicultura, campus Morada Nova, antes e após a mudança de modalidade de ensino. Os discentes foram separados em dois grupos: alunos que entraram no curso na modalidade concomitante (período de 2012.1 – 2015.2) versus alunos que entraram no curso na modalidade subsequente (período de 2017.1 – atual). Durante a oferta do curso na modalidade concomitante, 122 alunos dos 199 que se matricularam abandonaram, representando uma evasão de 61,30%. Após a mudança para a modalidade subsequente, essa taxa caiu para 45,61%, apresentando 52 discentes desistentes de um total de 114 matrículas realizadas. Por ter uma abordagem exploratória, nossos resultados conseguiu mensurar a taxa de evasão, porém é apenas um primeiro passo para entender e compreender quais são os agentes causais deste fenômeno. A partir de uma visão clara e precisa da real situação institucional em termos de indicadores de evasão, é possível traçar estratégias de como lidar com as questões postas.
Guillain-Barre syndrome related to COVID-19: muscle and nerve biopsy findings
Authors: Costa Lima de Souza Dandara , Basílio Guimarães Rafael , Alves de Siqueira Carvalho Alzira
Published: December 2021

Background: The involvement of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in COVID-19 is rare and, to date, morphological aspects from muscle and nerve biopsies have not been reported. Here, we describe a case of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) related to COVID-19 and demonstrate findings from peripheral nerve and skeletal muscle biopsies.
A 79-year-old man presented with progressive weakness in both legs over one-week, evolving to both arms and urinary retention within 6 days. Four days earlier, he had a cough, febrile sensation and mild respiratory discomfort. On admission, his was afebrile, and without respiratory distress. A neurological examination disclosed asymmetric proximal weakness, diminished reflexes and no sensitive abnormalities. Three days later, the patient presented with bilateral facial weakness and proximal muscle strength worsened. Deep tendon reflexes and plantar responses were absent. Both superficial and profound sensitivity were decreased. From this point, oxygen saturation worsened, and the patient was placed on mechanical ventilation. CSF testing revealed one cell and protein 185 mg/dl. A chest CT showed the presence of ground-glass opacities and RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 was positive. The muscle biopsy revealed moderate neuromyopathic findings with positive expression for MHC-class I, C5b9, CD8 and CD68. The nerve biopsy showed inflammatory infiltrates predominantly with endoneurial compound formed by CD45 and CD68. The patient was treated with Oseltamivir for 9 days followed by IVIG for 5 days and died three days later of septic shock.
Discussion: This is the first documented case of GBS associated with COVID-19 with a muscle and nerve anatomopathological study. A systematic review about neurological complications caused by COVID-19 described 11 patients with GBS. The morphological features reported in our patient showed signs of involvement of the immune system, suggesting that direct viral invasion could have played a role in the pathogenesis of peripheral nerve injury.
Hereafter, further research will be necessary to understand the triggers for these cells migrating into the peripheral nerve.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic made discrepancies between the different educational realities more evident for schoolchildren in the beginning of literacy.
Objective: to characterize the performance of cognitive-linguistic skills of students in early literacy phases during the pandemic.
Methods: Twenty-two elementary school students participated in this study, distributed in GI 1st year students and 2nd year GII students, submitted to the application of the Cognitive-Linguistic Skills Assessment Protocol for students in the initial stage of literacy.
Results: Students from GI and GII showed average performance for writing the name and writing the alphabet in sequence. The GI presented a refusal response for the subtests of word dictation, pseudoword dictation and picture dictation, word repetition and visual sequential memory of shapes and poor performance for alphabet recognition in random order and average performance for alphabet recognition in sequence. GII showed lower performance for the subtests of word dictation, pseudoword dictation, picture dictation and superior performance for alphabet recognition in random order, alphabet in sequence and visual sequential memory of shapes.
Discussion: The appropriation of the letter-sound relationship mechanism raises questions, since it evidenced the difficulty of all students in cognitive-linguistic skills necessary for the full development of reading and writing in an alphabetic writing system such as Brazilian Portuguese .
Conclusion: Students in the 1st and 2nd years showed lower performance in cognitive-linguistic skills important for learning reading and writing.

Introduction: Inserted in the vulnerable context of the Brazilian Amazon, the state of Tocantins has suffered damages with the dissemination of COVID-19 in its territory; however, little evidence is published from this state.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the case-fatality, mortality, and incidence of COVID-19 in Tocantins.
Methods: This is an ecological study, population-based, time-series analysis of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the state of Tocantins from March 2020 to August 2021.
Results: During the examined period, 219,031 COVID-19 cases, and 3,594 deaths were registered due to disease. Two possible occurrence peaks were characterized in this time-series analysis. Remarkably, the Second Wave had the highest lethality rates (3.02% - April 2021), mortality (39.81 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants – March 2021), and incidence (1,938.88 cases per 100,000 inhabitants – March 2021). At the end of the period, mortality, incidence, and lethality showed flat trends, suggesting a positive outcome of the vaccination program.
Conclusion: The prevention, surveillance, and control actions of COVID-19 cases in Tocantins State have been directed to mitigate the deleterious effects of the pandemic. Nevertheless, efforts are still needed to decrease lethality, mortality, and incidence trends, and ultimately to achieve control of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region.
