Authors: Pricillia Inosensia Lionetta , Azhari Ahmad
Published: December 2022

Measurement of insomnia is currently generally carried out by medical practitioners by looking at the patient's condition accompanied by symptoms that refer to insomnia. In contrast, minimal quantitative measurements were found. This study proposes an alternative measurement with the acquisition of brainwave activity through electroencephalogram (EEG) in identifying sleep disorders. Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it difficult to fall asleep difficult to stay asleep, or cause waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep. Insomnia not only weakens energy levels and moods, but also a person's health, performance, and quality of life. This sleep disorder appears due to several factors, such as anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar disorder, or trauma. Photic stimulation is given as an attempt to find a person's body's response to light. Late adolescents with insomnia symptoms with an age range of 17-25 years were included as respondents, had previously been given a simulation test related to the treatment of sleep disorders, and identified severe, moderate, and mild insomnia. Acquisition using Narosky Mindwave Mobile 2 with the electrode in forehead position, Fp1. This study compares several types of insomnia data acquisition from previous studies and obtains patterns of insomniacs based on photic stimulation.

Genetic data of red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) from southern Sumatra is valuable for conservation efforts in Indonesia. A mitochondrial COI DNA gene sequencing was performed to elucidate its genetic character, single nucleotide polymorphism, genetic distance, and phylogeny. Blood samples (±0.5 ml) from 20 individuals of Gallus gallus were taken from the living collections of the people of Bengkulu Province (Central Bengkulu Regency and Seluma Regency) and South Sumatra Province (North Musi Rawas Regency) from May to November 2021. Total DNA isolation followed the procedure of The Spin-Column Protocol Kit uses the Dneasy® Blood and Tissue Kit, Qiagen. DNA replication using the Polymerase Chain Reaction technique with primers (COIGG_F and COIGG_R) using MEGA 10.0 software and Bioedit for data analysis. The results revealed716 conserved sites, 16 variable sites, 9 parsimony sites, and 6 singleton sites from the 732 bp nucleotide sequence. Six specific sites (SNPs) as barcodes for Sumatran Junglefowl were found at sequences 51, 273, 327, 721, 729, and 732. The mean genetic distance between individuals was 0.1%, between populations was 0.8%, between species was 7.4%, and between genera was 15.5%. The red junglefowlof South Sumatra Province and Bengkulu Province are closely related with 98% bootstrapping and separated from other Gallus in the same group (ingroup) with 100% bootstrap. The Gallus-gallus group is quite far apart from the outgroup species in the Phasianidae family with 47-100% bootstrap. Red junglefowl from southern Sumatra has genetic differences from other chickens in the world and these differences can be used as a species barcode and as origin identification the widely traded red jungle fowl.

Published: December 2022

Local black rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the biodiversity of rice in Indonesia, which has tall stature and long cultivation period, easy to lodge, and requires more intensive care. Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a plant growth inhibitor compound that could reduce plant height and accelerate plants entering the generative phase. This study aimed to determine the effects of PBZ concentration on the agronomic character and micromorphological profile of five local black rice varieties. This research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized factorial design. The first factor was the local black rice variety (Brebes, Klaten, Magelang, Pati, and Pekalongan ), while the second was PBZ concentration (0, 100, 200, and 300 ppm) with three replications. PBZ spraying was conducted in the fourth week after planting. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and HSD test (α=5%). The results showed that the concentrations of PBZ 300 ppm produced the heaviest 100 grains. The Klaten variety had wide abaxial stomata, the Magelang variety had high abaxial stomata density, while the Pati variety had long abaxial stomata and heaviest 100 grains. The interaction between Brebes variety and PBZ 0 ppm produced high adaxial stomatal density, Klaten variety, and PBZ 100 ppm have vast adaxial stomatal and high abaxial trichome density. Pati variety and PBZ 0 ppm had the most tillers, while Pati variety and PBZ 100 ppm had long adaxial stomata and the most grains per panicle. The study's critical findings are that PBZ gives different micromorphology improvements and increases agronomic performance in local black rice.

Published: December 2022

Chlorella is widely used for its fast growth rate and easy cultivation with 14–30% lipid content and 36–59% dry weight. Thus, sodium hydroxide is used to increase carbon consumption, biomass, and metabolites productions in microalgae. This study was conducted to observe the effect of sodium hydroxide addition on biomass and metabolites  production in photoautotrophic cultivated Chlorella sorokiniana. Microalgae C.sorokiniana (LIPI12-Al016) was obtained from the culture collection of Microalgae and Bioprocess Engineering Research Group laboratory, National Research and Innovation Agency. Then, the microalgae were cultivated in media with various concentrations of sodium hydroxide. Biomass production was measured by gravimetry, and carbon consumption was measured by acid-alkalimetry. Sodium hydroxide 60 mM gave the best growth, maximizing average carbon consumption to 691.8 mg.L-1 and biomass production to 598.3 mg.L-1. The utilization of NaOH in the medium did not increase the metabolites content, except for protein. Carbohydrate was the dominant metabolite among the others. Fatty acids profile mainly composed of C16 and C18 fatty acids, which are favorable for biodiesel production. These results gave an overview of the potency of microalgae C. sorokiniana as a CO2 mitigation agent and alternative sources of energy and nutrition.

Published: December 2022

The use of natural dyes as textile dyes is increasing due to environmentally friendly standards and does not require the use of synthetic dyes. By banning the use of synthetic dyes containing azo groups, this is the right moment to reintroduce natural dyes that have been abandoned for a long time. This study aims to identify the active compound of tantrum leaves (Indigofera tinctoria) as a natural textile dye by maceration extraction method with variations in maceration time and material treatment on wet and dry tantrum leaves. This experimental research method was carried out using several stages of analysis, namely the phytochemical test, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), and UV-Vis (Ultraviolet-Visible Light) spectrophotometer. The results of the phytochemical tests showed that the compounds contained in the Indigofera tinctoria plant were indigo, flavonoids, steroids, and alkaloids. The FTIR test indicated that the dye content in the extract was from the indigo group. The results of the UV-Vis spectrum showed that there was maximum absorption in wet tantrum leaf extract, dry tantrum leaf extract, and alkaline extract at wavelengths of 406.50 nm, 365.50 nm, and 664.50 nm, respectively. Natural dyes in textiles have a positive impact on the environment, the color waste products are biodegradable and can be decomposed.

In relation to climate change, for example, internationally, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change recognizes the importance of equal involvement between women and men, in gender-responsive climate policies, through a special agenda that addresses gender issues and climate change, including putting it into the Agreement. Paris. However, until now, the role of women still tends to be neglected, both at the local and national levels. This study aims to analyze and discuss the concept of ecofemenism as a movement for the role of Indonesian women in environmental protection in Indonesia.
Former Soviet Military Bases in Poland and Latvia and the Development of Tourist Practices. Study of Selected Cases (Part 1)
Authors:   Centre of Ethnology and Modern Anthropology of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Czarnecka Dominika
Published: December 2022

The tourist practices those have been developed at the sites of selected former Soviet military bases in Poland (Borne Sulinowo, Kłomino, Pstrąże) and in Latvia (Skrunda‑1, Karosta in Liepāja, Daugavgrīva fortress) are considered in the submitted article. The catalogue of tourist practices presented in the text includes 1) the urban exploration movement, 2) creating new paths and exploring on foot, 3) establishing and visiting museums and quasi-museums, 4) reality shows those include elements of performance, 5) organising and participating in events – was intended to be open and selective. It only includes the type of practices based on using material military heritage and selected episodes from history to create unique products of tourism, such as the individual character of a site in the context of its past. The focus on tourist practices has been developed in different contexts – Polish and Latvian – illustrates how the post-Soviet material military heritage is used in each of these countries to serve new functions. It also sheds some light on whether (or how) tourist practices contribute to the ‘rehabilitation’ of bases and other post-military facilities in the eyes of the public, reveals the process of negotiating meaning within and in reference to these sites, and indicates how tourist practices affect the materiality of the place. The research has shown that diverse tourist practices are developed in de-militarized zones in both Poland and Latvia; specific patterns of tourist experience are formed there, which do not have anything in common with mass tourism. In any given case, it is the materiality of the post-military space that determines the type of tourist practices developing there. In the context of tourist practices, the material heritage of military bases is presented as something unusual and worth seeing. At the same time, however, military heritage is contemplated and experienced in a tranquil, safe environment, which makes the emerging images and experiences ‘sterilised’, and ultimately far removed from the dangers due to which these bases have been built. Thus, they are detached from their original functions and meanings. Nevertheless, the development of diverse tourist practices indicates that although the military heritage of former Soviet bases has its meaning in the present, it is still contested, ambivalent and inspiring slightly disturbing perceptions of both the past and the future.

Published: December 2022

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is the leading pathogen in urinary tract infection. In recent years multidrug-resistant B2-ST131 E. coli clonal group has disseminated worldwide. The ST131 and its subclones H30 and H30-Rx have been identified only in a few studies from Turkey. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of ST131 and its subclones and to analyze their adhesin virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance. A total of 250 urinary ExPEC isolates were included in the study. Resistance rates of 16 antimicrobial agents were determined by disk-diffusion. Multidrug-resistance and ESBL production were analyzed. Altogether 8 adhesin genes were investigated namely, papAH, fimH, sfa/focDE, focG, afa/draBC, iha, bmaE and gafD. A total of 39 ST131 isolate were determined and 33 (84.6%) were multidrug-resistant. ESBL production was detected in 34 (87.2%) ST131 and 61 (28.9%) of non-ST131 strains. In our study, we found a strong correlation between ST131 strains and fimH, iha, afa/draBC, papAH virulence determinants. Twenty-nine (85.3%) of 34 ST131-O25b-H30 isolates were identified as H30-Rx. All the papAH gene positive isolates were identified within ST131-O25b-H30-Rx lineage. Non-H30-Rx isolates within H30 isolates were identified as pattern 2. Almost 16% of the isolates were identified as ST131 regardless of clinical syndrome and approximately 34% of the multidrug-resistant isolates were H30-Rx subclone. We report H30-Rx as the dominant subclone of ST131 in our study. Imipenem, fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin proved to be the most effective agents according to antibiotic resistance patterns of both ST131 and non-ST131 E. coli strains.

Authors: Duy Nguyen Huu
Published: December 2022

Precise streamflow prediction is crucial in the optimization of the distribution of water resources. This study develops the machine learning models by integrating recurrent gate unit (GRU) with bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), gray wolf optimizer (GWO), and human group optimization (HGO) to forecast the streamflow in the Tra Khuc River, Vietnam. For this purpose, the time series of daily rainfall and river flow at Son Giang station from 2000 to 2020 were employed to forecast the streamflow. The statistical indices, namely the root mean square error, the mean absolute error, and the coefficient of determination (R²), was utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed models. The results showed that the three optimization algorithms (HGO, GWO, and BFO) effectively enhanced the performance of the GRU model.

Moreover, among the four models (GRU, GRU-HGO, GRU-GWO, and GRU-BFO), the GRU-GWO model outperformed the other models with R² = 0.883. GRU-HGO achieved R² = 0.879, and GRU-BFO achieved R²=0.878. The results of this study showed that GRU combined with optimization algorithms is a reliable modeling approach in short-term flow forecasting.

Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the methods of forecasting attacks on information systems. Within the framework of experimental studies, the best method for predicting attacks on information systems has been identified. At the present stage of society’s development, the problems of information security come to the fore in most areas of the company’s activities. This is due to a significant number of informatization projects currently being implemented. Most of them are aimed at building a unified information space in order to optimize the processing of large volumes of various kinds of information, including ensuring its reliable storage and prompt access for participants of information exchange. Priority tasks in this direction are: identification, analysis and classification of existing mechanisms for the implementation of threats to information security; assessment of possible damage; identification of basic measures to counter threats; elimination of vulnerabilities; development of security criteria and protection mechanisms. One of the means of solving these problems is the detection of computer attacks. Malicious impacts on information systems can be presented in the form of network attacks. A network attack is an intentional action by third parties aimed at establishing control over a local or remote computer or computer system. As a result of attacks, attackers can disrupt the network, change account rights, receive users’ personal data and implement other goals. Network attacks by the nature of the impact on the network can be divided into active and passive. The active ones affect the network, which may cause the network to malfunction, or modification of its settings. This type of exposure leaves traces in the network, which is why it is immediately calculated that it will be detected. A passive attack is carried out without affecting the network. But her work violates network security. It is much more difficult to detect it than the active one due to the lack of direct intervention. Basically, the purpose of the attack is unauthorized access to protected information, distorting it or intercepting it. In the first case, the data is changed, in the second, access is performed without interfering with the data structure.

ABSTRACT Objective Perioperative deep prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious postoperative complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to compare the efficacy of cefazolin administered within 24 and 48 h of primary THA for PJI prophylaxis. Methods In this retrospective study, 720 patients were divided into two groups depending on whether cefazolin was administered as a single injection of 2 g twice daily within 24 (24-h group) or 48 h of surgery and the following day (48-h group). Sex, age at surgery, body mass index, co-existing diseases, blood test data, and PJI risk factors were evaluated. Results The 24- and 48-h groups included 364 and 356 patients, respectively. Diabetes mellitus was the most common risk factor for PJI in both groups. The corresponding incidence of perioperative deep PJI following primary THA was 0.55% and 0.28% in the 24- and 48-h groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in patient background characteristics between the groups. Conclusions Cefazolin administration within 24 h of primary THA may be appropriate for perioperative deep PJI. Level of Evidence II; Retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Objective Determine complications’ incidence and risk factors in high-energy distal femur fractures fixed with a lateral locked plate. Methods Forty-seven patients were included; 87.2% were male, and the average age was 38.9. The main radiographic parameters collected were distal lateral femoral angle (DFA), distal posterior femoral angle (DPLF), comminution length, plate length, screw working length, bone loss, and medial contact after reduction and plate-bone contact, location of callus formation, and implant failure. The complications recorded were nonunion, implant failure, and infection. Results Complex C2 and C3 fractures accounted for 85.1% of cases. Open fractures accounted for 63.8% of cases. The mean AFDL and AFDP were 79.8 4.0 and 79.3 6.0, respectively. The average total proximal and distal working lengths were 133.3 42.7, 60.4 33.4, and 29.5 21.8 mm, respectively. The infection rate was 29.8%, and the only risk factor was open fracture (p = 0.005). The nonunion rate was 19.1%, with longer working length (p = 0.035) and higher PDFA (p = 0.001) as risk factors. The site of callus formation also influenced pseudoarthrosis (p = 0.034). Conclusion High-energy distal femoral fractures have a higher incidence of pseudoarthrosis and infection. Nonunion has greater working length, greater AFDL, and absence of callus formation on the medial and posterior sides as risk factors. The risk factor for infection was an open fracture.

Published: December 2022

Abstract Shellfish gathering is an artisanal activity and a means of family subsistence for several coastal communities along the Brazilian coast and Anomalocardia brasiliana is one of the main exploited mollusk species. This paper aimed to obtain information about the temporal distribution, growth, yield, and gonadosomatic index of the bivalve mollusk A. brasiliana in a natural stock to provide subsidies for the sustainable extraction of this resource. The study was carried out in an area of the Acaraú River estuary, on Volta do Rio Beach, municipality of Acaraú, Ceará, Brazil. Samples were collected monthly for one year at spring low tide, using the random squares method. Water and sediment temperature and salinity were measured in situ. Sediment samples were collected for granulometric analysis. The specimens were individually quantified, measured, and weighed. A total of 8,507 A. brasiliana specimens were sampled, and the highest density recorded was 2,534 individuals/m2, whose longest shell length reached between 21 and 25 mm, while the mean meat yield was 12.42%. The means of biometric variables of individuals showed significant differences during the sample period. Frequency histograms evidenced the presence of adult and juvenile individuals, showing a continuous reproductive cycle in the studied natural stock. These results can assist the sustainable shellfish gathering activity on Volta do Rio Beach. We recommend that A. brasiliana is above 20 mm in length to be captured and the reduction in the capture effort from April to September, when the highest density of juveniles was observed, to guarantee the sustainability of this stock.

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the perspectives, practices and challenges in decision-making for admitting patients into the Intensive Care Unit during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: a qualitative study developed in two public hospitals in Maranhão, Brazil, from November/2020 to January/2021. Data collection took place through individual interviews guided by a script. A total of 22 professionals participated in the study: nurses and doctors who worked in the Intensive Care Unit and Bed Regulation in the first wave of the pandemic. Content Analysis was used in the thematic mode, with support from the Qualitative Data Analysis software program for data categorization. The theory of Responsibility for Reasonableness guided the study. Results: two main categories emerged: “The context of the decision-making process - the paradox of celestial discharges” and “Decision-making for admission”. In the scenario of high demand, a lack of beds, and the uncertainties of the “new disease”, deciding who would occupy the bed was arduous and conflicting. Clinical and non-clinical criteria such as severity, chance of survival, distance to be covered and transport conditions were considered. It was found that the ambivalence of feelings attributed to death and care at that moment of the pandemic marked the social and technical environment of intensive care. Conclusions: the complexity of the decision-making process for admission to an intensive care unit was evidenced, demonstrating the importance of analyzing the allocation of critical resources in pandemic scenarios. Knowing the perspectives of professionals and their reflections on the experiences in that period can help in planning the allocation of health resources in future emergency scenarios.

Para essa análise, foram considerados relatos oriundos das categorias Ensino Fundamental – Anos Finais (EF-AF) e Ensino Médio (EM) publicados no Anais da XXXV Feira Catarinense realizada em 2019. Para atender ao objetivo proposto, optou-se pela investigação de natureza qualitativa e de cunho interpretativo, a partir dos pareceres das avaliações ad hoc e da avaliação presencial dos Relatos selecionados. Os achados evidenciam a necessidade de melhor acompanhamento dos envolvidos nas Feiras de Matemática para que essa avaliação possa, efetivamente, contribuir com a formação dos professores participantes das Feiras de Matemática. Observa-se, ainda, que é preciso modificar os itens avaliados para contemplar mais enfaticamente os aspectos matemáticos e metodológicos constantes nos relatos.

Published: December 2022

Resumo Neste artigo, analisam-se as formas de alienação presentes em uma atividade de formação inicial de professores de matemática, focalizada em construções geométricas produzidas com o software GeoGebra. Utilizando um método de análise dialético-materialista, identificaram-se episódios da atividade que mostram sinais de alienação, manifestados em dois futuros professores, enquanto eles se envolviam com o formador na resolução de uma tarefa. A análise dos dados resultou em quatro descobertas ligadas à alienação do produto, da atividade produtiva e com respeito a outros indivíduos, bem como ao modo de agir do formador para romper com essas formas. As descobertas são discutidas no tocante ao legado da cultura escolar herdado pelos futuros professores, à ética da cooperação entre eles e à atuação do formador na atividade.
Habilidades Matemáticas na Resolução de Problemas: análise da compreensão de futuros professores
Authors: Proença Marcelo Carlos de
Published: December 2022

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a compreensão de futuros professores de Matemática acerca das habilidades matemáticas (HM) na resolução de problemas. Realizamos um estudo qualitativo e interpretativo com 15 licenciandos em Matemática de uma universidade estadual pública, os quais vivenciaram uma formação sobre o ensino de Matemática por meio da resolução de problemas. Os dados foram coletados por meio dos registros dos estudantes e de gravação de áudio ao longo das aulas. Os resultados mostraram que, inicialmente, poucos participantes compreendiam o que seria uma habilidade matemática e que houve uma não diferenciação de algumas HM de conhecimentos matemáticos. Ao longo da formação, a compreensão das HM na resolução de problemas se ampliou, conforme suas propostas de ensino. Concluímos que é importante abordar essa diferenciação na formação inicial e continuada, bem como situações contextualizadas para favorecer o desenvolvimento e compreensão das HM na resolução de problemas.

Resumo El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la contribución de la inteligencia verbal y no verbal, el nivel socioeconómico y el ambiente de aprendizaje matemático en el hogar, en el desempeño de patrones matemáticos de niños ecuatorianos de jardín infantil. Al inicio del año escolar, se aplicó una prueba de patrones matemáticos y una de inteligencia a un total de 112 niños. El nivel socioeconómico se construyó en base al nivel educativo de la madre. Finalmente, los padres de los niños llenaron un cuestionario sobre las actividades matemáticas que realizan con los niños en el hogar. Los resultados señalaron que la inteligencia no verbal, el nivel socioeconómico y el ambiente de aprendizaje matemático en el hogar predicen el desempeño en patrones matemáticos de los niños. La inteligencia verbal no fue un predictor de dicho desempeño. Al final, se discuten críticamente los hallazgos del estudio con miras a mejorar la calidad de la educación matemática a temprana edad.

Published: December 2022

Resumo: Introdução: A avaliação do estudante deve induzir aprendizagem e ser baseada em competência, ou seja, avaliar (habilidades cognitivas, psicomotoras e afetivas). Para avaliar conhecimento e a habilidade para sua utilização no contexto profissional, o Teste de Progresso (TP) tem sido usado em larga escala, com finalidade somativa e principalmente formativa. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a adequação e qualidade de itens que compõem os TP realizados pelos estudantes. Método: Trata-se de estudo exploratório descritivo e retrospectivo que analisou todos os itens de seis provas do TP aplicado a estudantes de Medicina do primeiro ao sexto ano da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto/USP, no período de 2013 a 2018. Os sete indicadores de boas práticas foram: 1. abordar tema relevante na formação médica; 2. ter enunciado maior que as alternativas; 3. avaliar aplicação do conhecimento; 4. definir pergunta clara para o item no enunciado; 5. avaliar apenas um domínio do conhecimento em cada item; 6. ter resposta correta e distratores homogêneos e plausíveis; 7. ausência de erros no item que acrescentam dificuldade desnecessária ou dão pistas da resposta correta. Dois avaliadores independentes analisaram as questões e, quando necessário, revisavam em conjunto os itens discordantes. Resultado: A análise das provas permitiu identificar boa qualidade técnica na maioria dos itens das seis provas, além de indicar que a não adesão foi mais frequente nos indicadores 4 e 5, que podem comprometer tanto a validade quanto a interpretação dos resultados da prova em termos de lacunas do conhecimento por parte dos estudantes. Conclusão: A qualidade das questões das provas analisadas é muito boa, mas foi possível identificar oportunidades de melhoria no processo de elaboração de itens, que servem de base para o desenvolvimento docente dos elaboradores da instituição.

LAURENCE STERNE, MACHADO DE ASSIS E O ATO DA LEITURA: A PALAVRA LITERÁRIA COMO EXPERIÊNCIA DO FORA
Authors: TRIGO ALINE CANDIDO , NOGUEIRA NÍCEA HELENA DE ALMEIDA
Published: December 2022

Resumo Este artigo analisa Tristram Shandy (1759-1767), de Laurence Sterne, e Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881), de Machado de Assis, a partir do espelhamento que apresentam do leitor enquanto personagem que atualiza as faíscas de sentido nesse espaço do fora da linguagem, a partir do conceito de Maurice Blanchot. Os narradores Brás Cubas e Tristram Shandy se eximem de dar descrições completas de eventos e personagens para não macular a experiência literária de seus leitores. A perspectiva de ambos está no cerne do que configura essa experiência: ela se dá no espaço externo à palavra. Ler literatura implica levantar os olhos das páginas e mergulhar em outras dimensões das significações.

Authors: Valle Flavia Pilla do , Zancan Rubiane Falkenberg
Published: December 2022

RESUMO O ensaio é uma defesa sobre a presença da dança no currículo da educação formal. Por que ter dança na escola? Dança na escola... para quê? Com base no trabalho desenvolvido ao longo dos anos pelas autoras, que envolveu busca de textos, participação em palestras, escritas conjuntas, entre outras estratégias, este texto aponta para oito focos de argumentação que podem ser desdobrados e reunidos em outras configurações. Salienta-se, como conclusão, a importância da dança na escola básica, pois, além de prevista em legislação, possibilita ao alunado evolução do conhecimento sobre o próprio corpo, instigação de sua capacidade criativa e ampliação de seus horizontes históricos e culturais.

Authors: Kaercher Gladis Elise Pereira da Silva , Pereira Gabriel Fortes
Published: December 2022

RESUMO Por meio de referenciais africanos e afrodiaspóricos, propõe-se o exercício de pensar as crianças negras e suas performances. A partir de estudos sobre a cosmologia bantu-kongo, busca-se uma aproximação com a infância bakongo para dar a compreender as performances da infância negra brasileira, relacionando-as com a preservação de valores civilizatórios africanos. Conclui-se, à luz do conceito ancestralidade e da noção cosmológica de tempo circular, que as crianças negras brasileiras, por intermédio da performance, são capazes de unir passado e presente, ancestral e vivo, reeditando memórias e mantendo vivos valores civilizatórios afro-brasileiros.
Equidade de sexo e gênero na pesquisa e na publicação científica: as diretrizes SAGER e suas listas de verificação
Authors: Garcia Leila Posenato
Published: December 2022

Resumo Diferenças de sexo e gênero são elementos importantes para se considerar na pesquisa e na publicação científica. Diversos esforços têm sido empreendidos no meio científico para incorporar as dimensões sexo e gênero em todo o ciclo da pesquisa, especialmente na área da Saúde. As diretrizes sobre Equidade de Sexo e Gênero na Pesquisa (Sex and Gender Equity in Research - SAGER) dedicam-se a guiar autores na preparação dos manuscritos, mas também são úteis para editores e revisores de periódicos, bem como para avaliadores das agências de fomento, buscando promover a integração de sexo e gênero na pesquisa, em diversas disciplinas. Para facilitar a adesão às diretrizes SAGER e encorajar uma abordagem mais sistemática no relato dessas variáveis na pesquisa, foram desenvolvidas duas listas de checagem: uma para estudos com participantes humanos e outra para os demais estudos (ciência aplicada, biologia celular etc.). Esta nota apresenta as versões em português dessas listas e destaca sua relevância para o aprimoramento do relato das pesquisas comunicadas nos periódicos, como prática de integridade científica.
