A RADICALIDADE DA TEORIA CRÍTICA, SEUS REFLEXOS NO GRUPO KRISIS E NAS FORMULAÇÕES DE PAULO ARANTES
Authors: Lima Rodrigo Campos Vieira
Published: June 2023

Este artigo discorre sobre aspectos fundamentais da crítica radical ao sistema produtor de mercadorias feita pela primeira geração da escola de Frankfurt, notadamente por Adorno, Horkheimer e Benjamin. Sua finalidade é investigar a relação entre a crítica negativa proposta pela primeira geração, que não visava uma alteração parcial, por meio do Estado ou de outro agente institucional, no sentido de reformar a sociedade moderna e seus reflexos nas teorias do grupo Krisis e nas formulações de Paulo Arantes. Para tal, analisaremos aspectos fundamentais dessa crítica, cotejando aspectos históricos decisivos para seu relativo apagamento e ressurgimento. Uma de nossas conclusões é que a crítica radical tornaria a primeira geração de Frankfurt alvo de críticas e de isolamento político por parte das forças que tentaram tanto a via de reformas sociais quanto as tentativas de socialismos de Estado ao longo do século XX. Entretanto, com a crise instaurada pós-anos 1970, cada vez mais a teoria crítica proposta retornou ao centro das análises sobre o caráter essencialmente destrutivo e totalizante do sistema com repercussões mesmo nas formulações teóricas no Brasil contemporâneo.

In Memory of Ed Schein:
Authors: Scharmer Otto
Published: June 2023

Edgar H. Schein, Sloan Fellow professor of management emeritus at MIT, passed away on January 26, 2023, at the age of 94. Ed had an enormous impact on organizational development (OD), on Theory U, and on my life. Schein wrote dozens of books on social science subjects, including career dynamics, organizational culture, leadership, process consulting, and group dynamics. He is one of the most important founding fathers of organizational development (OD). Ed’s insights on how to engage in any kind of helping relationship made him my most important teacher in terms of how to advise clients and engage with stakeholder groups on how to approach challenges facing their organizations and communities. He is not only a founding father of OD but also of Theory U and we can see the Schein influence on at least three levels: addressing the invisible as well as the visible (the iceberg model of systems thinking), emphasizing psychological safety in the change process and ‘always being helpful’ in the context of organizational change, consulting, and leadership. In this piece I outline the most important principles Ed embodied in his work that have shaped my own. The piece ends with a call for collective action on addressing the challenges facing our planet in Ed’s own words.
YIELD AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FORAGE AND SILAGE OF NATIVE MAIZE UNDER IRRIGATED SEMI-ARID CONDITIONS
Authors: Lucio-Ruiz Fernando , Joaquín-Cancino Santiago , Godina-Rodríguez Juan Eduardo , Garay-Martínez Jonathan Raúl
Published: June 2023

The preservation of native maize allows the selection of genotypes with forage potential in specific regions. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the yield and chemical composition of green forage and silage of 10 native and two commercial maize hybrids with forage potential, under semi-arid conditions with irrigation. Genotypes were grouped according to days to male flowering: early (80 days), intermediate (92 days) and late (111 days). Data were analyzed in a randomized complete block design with four replications (Tukey; α = 0.05). Intermediate and late maize had the greatest height, total dry matter yield (TDMY) and number of leaves (p < 0.05). Late genotypes showed higher values in cob yield and senescent matter (p < 0.05). The genotypes Olotillo × Tuxpeño and Tuxpeño II outperformed the hybrids 2038DK and P3966WP (3.50 and 9.24 Mg ha-1, respectively) in TDMY (14.32 Mg ha-1, on average). Olotillo × Tuxpeño and P3966WP presented similar crude protein values in green forage (81 g kg-1; p > 0.05). However, when ensiled, the hybrid outperformed native corn by 22 % (92 vs. 75 g kg-1; p < 0.05). Late-cycle native maize had the highest cob yields (4.59 Mg ha-1) and after ensiling, the ideal pH (< 3.9) and °Brix (8.5) values. The native genotypes Tuxpeño I, Olotillo × Ratón, Olotillo × Tuxpeño and Tuxpeño II could be used in breeding programs to select materials with potential for forage production and conservation.
GAZDASÁGPOLITIKAI DÖNTÉSEK ÉS AZ INFLÁCIÓ HATÁSA A MUNKAERŐPIAC – KÜLÖNÖS TEKINTETTEL A KÖZIGAZGATÁS – HELYZETÉRE
Authors: Varga Alexandra Ildikó
Published: June 2023

Napjainkban hazánkat aktív monetáris és fiskális politikai döntések jellemzik, azonban a koronavírus, valamint az orosz-ukrán háború okozta válság és annak inflációs következményei ellentétes irányba terelnék a gazdaságpolitikai döntéseket, ami hosszútávon fenntarthatatlan. Tanulmányomban a fiskális és a monetáris politika közötti kapcsolatot, valamint a gazdasági válsághelyzet munkaügyi hatását vizsgáltam a makrogazdasági adatok, a Magyar Nemzeti Bank, valamint az Európai Uniós előrejelzések alapján. A gazdaságpolitikában 2010 után jelentős előrelépés történt, aminek köszönhetően fiskális egyensúly volt és a monetáris politika biztosította az árstabilitást, a munkaerőpiaci helyzet az elmúlt években fokozatosan javuló tendenciát mutatott. A két gazdaságpolitikai részterület között 2013 után megvalósult független, de konstruktív összhang hazánk makrogazdasági folyamatainak tartós javulását eredményezte. A kialakult válsághelyzet azonban gyors reakciót igényelt, amely alapjaiban változtatta meg a rövidtávú gazdaságpolitikai célokat. A magyar gazdaság a monetáris és fiskális politika összhangjának köszönhetően a pandémiás időszakban is jól teljesített az Európai Uniós átlaghoz mérten. A koronavírus és a háború okozta veszélyhelyzetben a gazdaságpolitika nehéz helyzetbe került, a válságból való kilábalás gazdaságélénkítést indokol, míg az inflációs nehézségek megfékezésére monetáris szigorításra van szükség.
A argumentação colaborativa e agência no Tempo de Aprender
Authors: Fuga Valdite Pereira , Vendramini-Zanella Daniela
Published: June 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo ressaltar a importância da argumentação colaborativa (LIBERALI, 2018) na constituição agentiva de alunos-professores no contexto de sessões reflexivas no âmbito de formação do Programa Tempo de Aprender. Esta discussão centraliza o conceito de argumentação na perspectiva colaborativa e, nessa direção, enfatiza a colaboração como modo para a constituição de sujeitos agentivos (FREIRE, 1987; STETSENKO, 2019). Os procedimentos metodológicos estão fundamentados na Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração (MAGALHÃES, 2009), cujos dados foram discutidos a partir de categorias, construídas com base na literatura sobre argumentação no contexto educacional (LIBERALI, 2018), os quais se distribuem em aspectos enunciativos, discursivos e linguísticos. Os resultados evidenciam que a argumentação colaborativa, na sessão reflexiva, consiste no exercício concreto de entrelaçamentos de diferentes pontos de vista, promove o dessilenciamento (TELES, 2018) e oportunidades de reflexão coletiva na direção da constituição de uma agência transformacional.

Authors: Mardem Sean , Rodrigues Maria Das Graças Soares
Published: June 2023

Neste trabalho, analisamos a entrevista política ao presidente em exercício e candidato à reeleição no pleito de 2022, no Brasil, na TV aberta, como gênero discursivo deliberativo, que ocorre em contexto institucional entre um entrevistador, que representa os interesses coletivos do povo (auditório), e um entrevistado, um político, que tem o dever de prestar contas por suas ações passadas e presentes. Neste contexto, temos por objetivos identificar, descrever, analisar e interpretar fenômenos enunciativos e argumentativos no corpus como os (i) pontos de vista argumentativos pragma-dialéticos (p-d-v), (ii) a explicitação das diferenças de opinião, a (iii) demarcação enunciativa dos polos do protagonista e do antagonista, (iv) os esquemas (layout) de argumento, as (v) falácias decorrentes de violações da argumentação crítica. Os resultados revelaram o comportamento do entrevistado – antagonista, como juiz irracional, com a predominância de falácias em sua argumentação.
A argumentação nos estudos da linguagem
Authors: Doury Marianne
Published: June 2023

Nas últimas décadas, os estudos sobre argumentação se desenvolveram consideravelmente e têm se firmado como um campo interdisciplinar, no entrecruzamento das fronteiras entre ciências da linguagem e ciências humanas. Isto faz com que a argumentação reúna uma grande quantidade de pesquisas que se distinguem tanto do ponto de vista dos objetos visados quanto dos quadros teóricos nos quais eles se enquadram. Essa diversidade de posições nos leva a nos questionarmos explícita e profundamente sobre o papel do pesquisador no campo da argumentação, assim como sobre sua maneira de lidar com o assunto. Como definir a argumentação? Qual o lugar da argumentação nos estudos da linguagem? Quais são os respectivos interesses das diferentes formas de argumentação? Qual a importância de compreender e identificar os argumentos? Qual a importância dos estudos argumentativos? Essas e outras questões perpassam a obra da professora Marianne Doury e, com esta entrevista, pretendemos lançar mais luzes sobre esse debate, além de chamar a atenção para outras questões concernentes à pesquisa a respeito do assunto. Pretendemos, finalmente, sublinhar a importância do trabalho da autora, uma vez que este reafirma a importância dos estudos sobre argumentação nas ciências da linguagem e no ensino.
Argumentación en los estudios del lenguaje

Published: June 2023

En las últimas décadas, los estudios sobre argumentación se desarrollaron considerablemente y se consolidaron como un campo interdisciplinar en el cruce de las ciencias del lenguaje y de las ciencias humanas. Por consiguiente, la argumentación reúne un gran número de investigaciones que difieren tanto por los objetos que abordan como por los marcos teóricos en los que se inscriben. Esta diversidad de enfoques nos lleva a cuestionar de manera explícita y exhaustiva el rol del investigador en el campo de la argumentación, así como su manera de abordar la temática. ¿Cómo se define la argumentación? ¿Qué importancia tienen los estudios sobre la argumentación en los estudios lingüísticos? ¿Cuáles son los intereses respectivos de las diferentes formas de argumentación? ¿Qué importancia tiene comprender e identificar los argumentos? Estas y otras preguntas atraviesan el trabajo de la profesora Marianne Doury. Con esta entrevista, pretendemos aclarar un poco más estos problemas, así como llamar la atención sobre otras cuestiones relativas a la investigación en el campo. Por otra parte, queremos subrayar la importancia de su obra, ya que reafirma la relevancia de los estudios sobre la argumentación en las ciencias del lenguaje.

Authors: Ahmad Abdul Malik , Hassan Nor Azlili , Ahmad Zaki Suhaila , Kumarasamy Jeevamalar
Published: June 2023

Audio enthusiasts nowadays listen to or stream their music through digital devices which makes their listening more towards digital consumption. The sound appreciation towards digital consumption has simplified the listening experience in the context of the sound values and managing the digital playback devices. The digital appreciation integrates microchips to replicate vintage sound appreciation in the context of the amplifier to make it more compact and streamline the vintage sound listening experience. Therefore, this study aims to examine the perceptions and distinctions between modern and vintage amplifiers among audio enthusiasts in Malaysia. This study used a qualitative approach using self-administered questionnaires involving a total of 21 Malaysian audio enthusiasts aged between 25 to 70 years old, with a focus on a single question aimed at capturing their perspectives on amplifier differentiation. The collected data was analyzed to identify common themes and patterns regarding the distinctions between modern and vintage amplifiers. The results show that there are perceptions and distinctions of audio enthusiasts in Malaysia in terms of sound, aesthetic and design, functionality as well as price. Ironically, this study will redound to society’s benefit especially to the audio enthusiast in Malaysia, including academia, researchers and hi-fi audio manufacturer due to the findings that have practical implications for manufacturers and audio enthusiasts seeking to understand the nuanced differences between modern and vintage amplifiers.

Authors: Hebert Sundram Pauline Georgina Priya , Krishnan Isai Amutan
Published: June 2023

The study conducted an analysis of how candidates utilize implicatures in their self-introduction responses during job interviews. The research focused on a group of Malaysian fresh graduates, with English language proficiency playing a crucial role in their job interview success. A qualitative method was employed, collecting job interview data from an organisation involved in customer services. The analysis applied the concept of implicatures from the field of pragmatics in linguistics, specifically Grice's (1975) framework. Implicatures allowed candidates to indirectly convey additional information, showcasing their strengths and motivations. The study identified similarities in the strategic use of implicatures among the candidates, while differences arose from their unique experiences. It emphasised the importance of linguistic competence, self-awareness, and effective communication in job interviews. The findings further highlighted implicatures as a valuable tool for Malaysian fresh graduates to prepare for job interviews, enabling them to create a positive impression and stand out among other candidates. Overall, the study provided insights into the linguistic competence of candidates and offered guidance for effectively presenting oneself in self-introduction responses during job interviews.

Authors: Peñaherrera Cepeda Gabriela
Published: June 2023

La atención médica de la salud, ha sido clásicamente, concebida desde un punto de vista del género y de la edad. Atender a una adolescente, no es equivalente a atender a una niña grande o a una adulta pequeña. La ginecología infanto-juvenil o ginecología pediátrica y de la adolescencia, es una subespecialidad relativamente nueva que se encuentra en fase de desarrollo en todo el mundo; es la rama de la medicina que se encarga de la salud de las mujeres, desde la vida intrauterina, el nacimiento, la infancia, la pubertad y adolescencia, hasta que entra en la edad adulta logrando, idealmente, cumplir con los objetivos de cada etapa vital hasta llegar a plantearse un proyecto de vida.

Doble volvulación sigmoidea una patología rara de obstrucción intestinal en niños. Reporte de caso clínico
Authors: Reascos Espinosa Teresa , Sosa Jurado Johana Elizabeth , Llerena Flores Elena Leonor , Méndez Murillo Andrea Estefanía , Carvajal García María Fernanda
Published: June 2023

Introducción: La mayoría de las obstrucciones intestinales en niños son resultado de adherencias postoperatorias. Las ocasionadas por patologías congénitas son raras como la rotación anómala que puede hacer que se desarrolle un vólvulo. A causa de la baja frecuencia de torsión de colon, pocas veces se considera en el diagnóstico diferencial del dolor abdominal agudo o recurrente en niños. Caso clínico: Masculino de 10 años, sin antecedente de cirugías previas o de traumatismos. Su padecimiento lo inició 5 días previos a su ingreso con vómitos, ausencia de deposiciones e hiporexia. En la exploración física: distensión abdominal, peristaltismo disminuido y dolor a la palpación, sin signos de irritación peritoneal. Se reportó leucocitosis y los estudios de imagen mostraron asas de intestino grueso dilatadas, niveles hidroaéreos con ausencia de aire en ampolla rectal. Intervenciones y Resultados: Se realizó laparotomía exploratoria encontrando una doble volvulación a nivel de colon sigmoides con necrosis importante desde ángulo esplénico de colon a recto. Se realizó colectomía izquierda tipo Hartmann. Fue dado de alta a los 11 días, sin complicaciones. A la actualidad es portador de colostomía en espera de restitución del tránsito intestinal. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico de obstrucción intestinal en niños debido a vólvulos puede ser difícil, los estudio de imagen ayudan para el diagnóstico, y únicamente la laparotomía exploratoria o la laparoscopia son útiles para su resolución. La clínica y un diagnóstico precoz aumentan el éxito de la detorsión no quirúrgica (ya sea por enema de contraste o colonoscopia), evitando la isquemia/necrótica, complicaciones intestinales y morbilidad de la cirugía emergente.

Published: June 2023

Kajian ini menyelidik bagaimana pandemik COVID-19 memberi kesan kepada reputasi dan kepimpinan Malaysia di peringkat serantau melalui kajian terhadap beberapa aspek meliputi (i) model pengurusan pandemik, (ii) bantuan kemanusiaan, (iii) hubungan bilateral dengan negara-negara lain serta (iv) penglibatan Malaysia dalam COVAX Alliance. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa model pengurusan pandemik Malaysia boleh menjadi rujukan bagi negara-negara serantau dan kepimpinan Malaysia dalam bantuan kemanusiaan semasa pandemik berada pada tahap yang baik. Bagaimanapun, hubungan bilateral Malaysia dengan negara-negara kuasa besar dunia sepanjang pandemik COVID-19 meningkatkan risiko kebergantungan atau keterikatan Malaysia terhadap kuasa luar. Selain itu, penglibatan Malaysia dalam COVAX Alliance didapati tidak meningkatkan pengaruh kepimpinan Malaysia di peringkat serantau. Kajian ini menyumbang dalam pembangunan reputasi dan kepimpinan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara yang kuat, maju dan berdaulat serta bertanggungjawab terhadap komuniti antarabangsa.

This study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Malaysia’s reputation and leadership at the regional level by revieweing several aspects including (1) the pandemic management model, (ii) humanitarian aids, (iii) bilateral relations with other countries and (iv) Malaysia’s involvement in the COVAX Alliance. The findings of this study show that Malaysia’s pandemic management model can be a reference for regional countries and Malaysia’s leadership in humanitarian aids during the pandemic was at a good level. However, Malaysia’s bilateral relations with the world superpowers throughout the pandemic increases the risk of Malaysia’s binding dependence on foreign powers. In addition, Malaysia’s involvement in the COVAX Alliance was found not to increase the influence of Malaysian leadership at the regional level. This study contributes to the development of Malaysia’s reputation and leadership as a strong, developed and sovereign country who is responsible towards the international community.

Published: June 2023

Transport movement along road corridors and freight movement generates on-street business for some individuals. Operations of fossil powered automobiles contribute to poor quality of air in the environment, using survey research and experimental design methods. Traffic survey of vehicles were carried out to determine the volume and composition of vehicles on selected roads in Ondo State. Altair 5X analyser was used to collect and analyse air pollutants of CO, SO2 and NO2, while, questionnaires were administered to randomly selected respondents for data collection on effect of air-borne transport pollutants on human health. The study revealed that about 4562 to 729 pcu/hr traverse through different road corridors in Ondo state, while about 13.690 to 2.190 ppm of CO, 0.020 to 0.006 ppm of SO2 and about 0.068 to 0.011 ppm of NO2 were produced. The study showed that the level of CO, SO2 and NO2 produced at some corridors exceeds the average minimum acceptable standard. Findings from respondents who subsist and do business along the selected corridors showed that 11.70% of them have high levels of cough which suggest a serious sign of danger as 4% is the allowable level for cough in a community, 9.10% have high throat irritation, 10.79% have nasal discharge and 4.45% have Asthma. The study recommended that vehicles plying on urban road in Ondo state should undergo regular check to meet up with recommended emission standard and that proactive measures taken to reduce over dependence on fossil fuel powered automobile.

Authors: Okoli Uju Victoria , Nwokoye Ebele Stella , Ezedebego Ifeoma Rita
Published: June 2023

The Nigerian government has consistently increased spending without a corresponding improvement in the country’s economic growth trajectory. Using Hirschman’s approach, this study investigated the impact of government spending on economic growth in Nigeria, analyzing annual data from 1970 to 2020. The study utilized data from the CBN Statistical Bulletin to examine government’s spending in the transport, communication, health, education, and utilities sectors. An autoregressive distributed lag model was employed, and the results indicate a positive but non-significant short-term effect of communication and utility sector spending on Nigeria’s economic growth. However, there was a negative but non-significant short-term effect of transportation, health, and education sector spending on Nigeria’s economic growth. Thus, the study recommends that the government increase expenditure on the highlighted sectors, as well as the agricultural and petroleum sectors, which are areas where Nigeria is highly endowed. This approach will enable the country to achieve infrastructural development and positively impacting economic growth.

Introduction

Physiotherapy Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) is a conservative approach for the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) designed according to the guidelines of the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT). Hence the aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PSSE and conservative management strategies for patients with AIS.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted and searches were carried out on a virtual database. The primary outcome measure analysed in this paper was Cobb angle and angle of trunk rotation, while the secondary outcome included functional capacity. A total of twelve studies were included in the review, which was analysed to determine the effects of conservative management of spinal scoliosis among adolescent aged children.

Results

The study was conducted on patients who had developed idiopathic scoliosis and had a Cobb angle of greater than 10°. The significance of the conservative management protocol was estimated based on the reduction of Cobb angle by > 5° post-intervention.

Conclusions

This review concluded that therapeutic exercises alone have added to the noninvasive standard of care in reducing magnitude of Cobb angle among AIS patients. The studies reviewed in this paper provide significant evidence that a minimum of sixteen weeks of the exercise-based protocol has been able to produce a statistically and clinically significant result in Cobb angle reduction by almost 5° to 8°.

Published: June 2023

Objetivo: Comparar a ativação eletromiográfica em condição bipodal e unipodal entre mulheres adultas-jovens (GJ) e idosas (GI). Métodos: Mensurou-se a atividade neuromuscular com eletrodos de superfície bipolares em um eletromiógrafo operando à 2000 Hz (filtro passa-banda de 20-500 hz). Os músculos avaliados foram vasto lateral, reto femoral, bíceps Femoral e gastrocnêmio medial. A atividade neuromuscular foi avaliada em apoio unipodal e bipodal, na tarefa de se manter o mais imóvel possível durante 30 segundos. Verificou-se a normalidade pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk, a homogeneidade por Levene e o teste t para amostras independentes para as comparações (significância ≤ 0,05). Resultados: GI apresentou maior ativação em ambas as condições para os músculos vasto lateral (Unipodal: GJ: 4,80%±2,52% e GI: 33,72%±16,57%, p<0,001; - Bipodal: GJ: 3,83%±1,37% e GI: 20,45%±11,82%, p<0,001) e reto femoral (Unipodal: GJ: 3,89%±2,45% e GI: 11,62%±6,32%, p<0,006; - Bipodal: GJ:2,37%±0,70% e GI: 7,94%±4,54%, p<0,006). E apenas na condição unipodal para o bíceps femoral (GJ: 6,05%±4,44% e GI: 23,03%±16,27 %, p<0,014) e gastrocnêmio (GJ: 18,95%±10,09% e GI: 32,34%±9,85%, p<0,008). Conclusão: O GI apresentou uma maior ativação neuromuscular do que GJ, em ambas as tarefas (todos músculos em condição unipodal, e no vasto lateral e reto femoral na condição bipodal), para manter-se o mais estável possível durante os 30 segundos.
