Authors: Salama Elsayed , Aloraini Dalal A. , El-Khateeb Sara A. , Moustafa Mohamed
Published: June 2022

Thermoluminescence characteristics of natural rhyolite have been studied. Dose response at a wide dose range of 0.5–2000 Gy has been determined. Minimum detectable dose and thermal fading rate are evaluated. Glow curve deconvolution is conducted after determining the best read-out conditions. The repeated initial rise (RIR) method is used to detect the overlapping peaks, and a glow curve deconvolution procedure is used to extract the thermoluminescence parameters of rhyolite. According to the findings, rhyolite glow curves show five interfering peaks corresponding to five electron trap levels at 142, 176, 221, 298, and 355 °C, respectively, at a heating rate of 3 °C/s. The obtained kinetic order for the deconvoluted peaks showed mixed-order kinetic. The reported results might be useful to introduce rhyolite as a natural sustainable material for radiation dosimetry applications.
Renewable Energy and Carbon Emissions: New Empirical Evidence from the Union for the Mediterranean
Authors: Erkut Burak
Published: June 2022

This approach focuses on the renewable energy-carbon emission nexus by delivering new empirical evidence from 37 members of the Union for the Mediterranean. The approach makes use of panel data for the period 2002–2018 and uses panel data econometrical approaches, which are panel random effects regression, feasible generalized least squares regression, and the difference-generalized method of moments estimation, to understand how agricultural activity, economic growth, and renewable energy use impact carbon emissions. The results indicate that economic growth increases carbon emissions, whereas renewable energy use decreases them. In addition, separate analyses for EU and non-EU members indicate that agricultural activity has a significant negative effect only for the non-EU countries, which is further discussed with some relevant empirical evidence. The approach utilizes three fields of policy action. Firstly, economic growth comes to the Union countries with a cost-carbon emissions. Policymaking needs to include strategies to turn growth into sustainable growth. Secondly, the magnitude of the impact of economic growth on carbon emissions is greater than the magnitude of the impact of renewable energy. Research and development efforts need to improve this situation. Thirdly, the use of appropriate tools and technologies can decrease the carbon footprint of agricultural activity.

Published: June 2022

The motivation of this study is that after the COVID-19 epidemic, museum exhibition visits have also been significantly affected. The purpose of this research is to better understand the visual cognition of visitors, so as to improve the application of physical field or online exhibitions. Currently, no research is available on the differences in the visitor’s viewing and cognitive process with eye movements sequence analysis that stem from the exhibition planning and design of different museums. This study tracks and analyzes the eye movement trajectories of visitors and studies its relation to learning and cognition and finds the key to influencing cognition through behavioral sequence analysis of displayed content. The results show that those interested in the displayed content have better cognitive performance, are immersed in reading text, and have a substantial shift in eye movement. Contrarily, those not interested in the displayed content are distracted and often turn their attention back to the title of the content. In this study, eye movement and fixation are indicators that can be used as a reference for the future design of displays to improve the effectiveness of presenting information to a visitor. Furthermore, this research can also provide future applications in integrating the virtual world and cognitive information, in the application of AR, VR, or metaverse environment, to provide people’s cognition of rapid information in the virtual environment.
Mixed-Unit-Model-Based and Quantitative Studies on Groundwater Recharging and Discharging between Aquifers of Aksu River
Authors: Huang Jiyu , Ge Yanyan , Li Sheng
Published: June 2022

The confined aquifer in the Aksu River Basin is the main aquifer for drinking water within the area. In this study, the unconfined aquifer and the confined aquifer in the Aksu River Basin were divided into different water circulation units through analysis of their flow field. After the hydrochemistry and isotope characteristics of each unit were analyzed, these data were used as water volume quantitative information of the aquifer according to the mixed-unit model. With this quantitative information, the transformation relationship between the unconfined aquifer and the confined aquifer, the recharging source, recharging amount, recharging proportion, and discharging amount of the confined aquifer were revealed. The results showed that the confined aquifer receives a recharge of 21.48 × 106 m3/a from the unconfined aquifer. The recharging sources of the confined aquifer in the middle and upper stream of the Aksu River mainly included side recharging and leakage recharging from the unconfined aquifer, while the confined aquifer received little recharging from unconfined aquifer downstream of the Aksu River and did not receive recharging from the unconfined aquifer in the southeast of the basin. Additionally, drainage methods of the confined aquifer were mainly lateral flowing and artificial well-group pumping. The side discharging volume through the whole area was 15.67 × 106 m3/a, and the artificial pumping volume was 21.20 × 106 m3/a. The confined aquifer was in a negative balance state from the middle-upper stream to the downstream. The downstream confined aquifer and its unconfined aquifer had a plane laminar flow movement, and the unconfined aquifer provided very little recharging to the confined one, which was further enhanced by the artificial well pumping and caused an accumulating negative balance state of the downstream aquifer.
Successive Low-Light Image Enhancement Using an Image-Adaptive Mask
Authors: Lee Hosang
Published: June 2022

Low-light images are obtained in dark environments or in environments where there is insufficient light. Because of this, low-light images have low intensity values and dimmed features, making it difficult to directly apply computer vision or image recognition software to them. Therefore, to use computer vision processing on low-light images, an image improvement procedure is needed. There have been many studies on how to enhance low-light images. However, some of the existing methods create artifact and distortion effects in the resulting images. To improve low-light images, their contrast should be stretched naturally according to their features. This paper proposes the use of a low-light image enhancement method utilizing an image-adaptive mask that is composed of an image-adaptive ellipse. As a result, the low-light regions of the image are stretched and the bright regions are enhanced in a way that appears natural by an image-adaptive mask. Moreover, images that have been enhanced using the proposed method are color balanced, as this method has a color compensation effect due to the use of an image-adaptive mask. As a result, the improved image can better reflect the image’s subject, such as a sunset, and appears natural. However, when low-light images are stretched, the noise elements are also enhanced, causing part of the enhanced image to look dim and hazy. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes the use of guided image filtering based on using triple terms for the image-adaptive value. Images enhanced by the proposed method look natural and are objectively superior to those enhanced via other state-of-the-art methods.

Published: June 2022

In this report, we describe a national-scale monitoring of the SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) variant dynamics in Israel, using multiple-time sampling of 13 wastewater treatment plants. We used a combination of inclusive and selective quantitative PCR assays that specifically identify variants A19/A20 or B.1.1.7 and tested each sample for the presence and relative viral RNA load of each variant. We show that between December 2020 and March 2021, a complete shift in the SC-2 variant circulation was observed, where the B.1.1.7 replaced the A19 in all examined test points. We further show that the normalized viral load (NVL) values and the average new cases per week reached a peak in January 2021 and then decreased gradually in almost all test points, in parallel with the progression of the national vaccination campaign, during February–March 2021. This study demonstrates the importance of monitoring SC-2 variant by using a combination of inclusive and selective PCR tests on a national scale through wastewater sampling, which is far more amendable for high-throughput monitoring compared with sequencing. This approach may be useful for real-time dynamics surveillance of current and future variants, such as the Omicron (BA.1, BA.2) and other variants.
SARS-CoV-2 Whole-Genome Sequencing by Ion S5 Technology—Challenges, Protocol Optimization and Success Rates for Different Strains

Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how rapidly various molecular methods can be adapted for a Public Health Emergency. Whether a need arises for whole-genome studies (next-generation sequencing), fast and high-throughput diagnostics (reverse-transcription real-time PCR) or global immunization (construction of mRNA or viral vector vaccines), the scientific community has been able to answer all these calls. In this study, we aimed at the assessment of effectiveness of the commercially available solution for full-genome SARS-CoV-2 sequencing (AmpliSeq™ SARS-CoV-2 Research Panel and Ion AmpliSeq™ Library Kit Plus, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The study is based on 634 samples obtained from patients from Poland, with varying viral load, assigned to a number of lineages. Here, we also present the results of protocol modifications implemented to obtain high-quality genomic data. We found that a modified library preparation protocol required less viral RNA input in order to obtain the optimal library quantity. Concurrently, neither concentration of cDNA nor reamplification of libraries from low-template samples improved the results of sequencing. On the basis of the amplicon success rates, we propose one amplicon to be redesigned, namely, the r1_1.15.1421280, for which less than 50 reads were produced by 44% of samples. Additionally, we found several mutations within different SARS-CoV-2 lineages that cause the neighboring amplicons to underperform. Therefore, due to constant SARS-CoV-2 evolution, we support the idea of conducting ongoing sequence-based surveillance studies to continuously validate commercially available RT-PCR and whole-genome sequencing solutions.
Antiviral Activities of HIV-1-Specific Human Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies Are Isotype-Dependent

Published: June 2022

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) offer promising opportunities for preventing HIV-1 infection. The protection mechanisms of bNAbs involve the Fc domain, as well as their Fab counterpart. Here, different bNAb isotypes including IgG1, IgA1, IgA2, and IgA122 (IgA2 with the hinge of IgA1) were generated and then produced in CHO cells. Their ability to neutralize pseudovirus and primary HIV-1 isolates were measured, as well as their potential ADCC-like activity using a newly developed assay. In our work, gp41-specific IgA seems to be more efficient than IgG1 in inducing ADCC-like activity, but not in its virus neutralization effect. We show that either gp120-specific IgA or IgG1 isotypes are both efficient in neutralizing different viral strains. In contrast, gp120-specific IgG1 was a better ADCC-like inducer than IgA isotypes. These results provide new insights into the neutralization and ADCC-like activity of different bNAbs that might be taken into consideration when searching for new treatments or antibody-based vaccines.
An Energy-Based Assessment of Expected Benefits for V2H Charging Systems through a Dedicated Dynamic Simulation and Optimization Tool
Authors: Villante Carlo , Ranieri Stefano , Duronio Francesco , De Vita Angelo , Anatone Michele
Published: June 2022

Electricity from renewable energy sources represents the most promising way to decarbonize energy systems. A grid connection of car Electricity Storage Systems (ESSs) represents an opportunity to tackle issues regarding electricity production non-programmability, only if sufficiently smart bi-directional Vehicle to Grid technologies (V2G) are widely implemented. Fully Bi-directional grid capabilities are still poor and must be increased, both physically and in terms of management and billing possibilities (in the so-called smart-grid paradigm). However, some V2G technologies may be already implemented in smaller individual contexts: so-called Vehicle to Home, V2H technologies. Starting from these considerations, within the frame of an Italian publicly funded research project, the authors categorized and described many possible application contexts and developed an open-source dynamic simulation (fully available under request for the scientific community) to identify most promising conditions. To this aim, they also synthetized and tested an effective energy optimization algorithm which will soon be implemented on a prototypal wireless V2H device, built by ENEA in cooperation with Cassino University, in Italy. The performances of the system were assessed evaluating electricity auto-consumption and home auto-feeding ratios. Simulations show that very relevant performances can be obtained, up to the values 69% for electricity auto-consumption and 82% of home auto-feeding.

Potenciales instrumentos jurídicos de protección para las personas desplazadas en contextos de desastres y cambio climático
Authors: Hierro Ignacio
Published: June 2022

Las personas desplazadas en contextos de desastres y cambio climático se enfrentan a situaciones en las cuales la protección de sus derechos es insuficiente. Lo anterior se explica por la inobservancia en la legislación de los motivos climáticos y ambientales que inducen al desplazamiento. Existen varios escollos que contribuyen al lento desarrollo y estudio de la normativa sobre esta materia. Entre ellos, la falta de evidencia científica que identifique la relación de causalidad entre efectos del cambio climático y desplazamientos, además del debate sobre la denominación común de este colectivo. Con el objetivo de salvar aquellos obstáculos, se analizan los potenciales instrumentos que ampararían a las personas desplazadas en estos contextos tanto en el ámbito internacional, como en el Derecho de la Unión Europea y en el Estado español.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Malnutrition is associated with a poor prognosis for cancer treatment, particularly for gastrointestinal cancer surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional status of preoperative patients with gastrointestinal cancer at Bach Mai Hospital in 2016. Material and method: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study on 124 patients who underwent surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. The patients were measured for height, weight, and their nutritional state was assessed using the World Health Organization's body mass index (BMI). Nutritional risk was evaluated using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) scale, blood albumin levels, and dietary intake 24 hours prior to surgery compared to recommended requirements. Results: Weight loss was 76.6% when the patient was admitted to the hospital, and weight loss greater than 10% was 17.7 %. 24.2% of those with a chronic lack of energy (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2). According to the SGA, malnutrition was prevalent at a rate of 71%, of which mild to moderate, and severe malnutrition was 67.7%, and 8.9% respectively. Low blood albumin level (<35g/L) was 45%. The actual average energy value was 1166.0 ± 585.6 Kcal, reaching 56.7% of the necessary requirements. Protein,
lipids, and glucid concentrations exceeded recommendations by 73.9%, 58.9%, and 52.5%, respectively.Conclusion: the rate of malnutrition was still quite high in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Preoperative nutrition was insufficient to satisfy recommended requirements.

Authors: Hoang Bui Bao , Doan Thi Thien Hao
Published: June 2022

Background: Glucose-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the predominantly used dialysate in PD patients. Glucose absorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients may contribute to adverse metabolic complications. The impact of high peritoneal dialysate glucose concentration (PDGC) on all-cause as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is unclear. The current researchs widely applied formulae may be not suitable for estimation of glucose absorption in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Objective: This study examined the actual glucose absorption in a cohort of CAPD patients and compared the results with estimates from three current formulae. Our study provides an overview of glucose associated metabolic complications and to investigate the impact of high glucose in
dialysate on our CAPD patients. Methods: We conducted a survey of glucose absorption of a cohort of 56 CAPD patients and compared actual dialysate glucose absorbed with the one of K/DOQI formula, Grodstein formula, or a percentage estimate of 60%. Results: The total dialysate glucose infused each day varied from 108.8 to 181.6 g/day with average of 130±19.6 g, with the mean glucose concentration in dialysate is 1.79%. The average of glucose absorbed was 83.2±24.3 g/day (ranging from 28.6 to 145.2 g) by actual measurements. The mean absorption rate was 64.1% (ranging from 22.6% to 99.6%). There are no significant differences between 4 methods estimating glucose absorption in CAPD patients. There are strong correlations between glucose concentration using in PD patients with levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, urea, creatinine and uric acid. Only triglyceride concentration associated with glucose absorption from dialysate. Conclusions:
The applications of current estimating methods may have limitations. The actual measurement providesdietitians and doctors more exact information of absorbed glucose and energy compared to the current estimating methods.

Authors: Nguyen Dinh Luan , Nguyen Sanh Tung , Hoang Minh Loi
Published: June 2022

Objective: According to ISSVA 2014 classification, peripheral vascular malformations are divided to fast and slow flow. In spite of clear diagnosis, management is still challenging because of low rate of getting rid of lesions and high risk of complications. Endovascular management is first choice in daily practice, but cured rate is maximum about 30%. Combined treatment increases rate of success to get rid of malformations, especially surgical remvoving after endovascular management. There are many embolized materials, but absolute alcohol seem to be effective, but highly complications. Study and method: A prospective intervened study without case control. 89 patients satisfied standard are collected from 06/2016 to 06/2020. We evaluated clinical response, imaging improvement and effectiness of absolute alcoholic management. Results: Of 89 patients, female is majority with 62.9%, older than 18 is about 42.9%, mean age is 23.1. Sessions, method of approaching, volume of alcohol, combined treatment are significantly remarkable different between fast and slow flow malformations (p value = 0.021). Treatment are seem to be more effective in slow flow (p = 0.023),but fast flow malformations are curable in clinical and imaging studies. Major complications is indifferent between two groups. Conclusion: Venous malformations are majority amongst vascular malformations in our study. Because of complex scenario, difficulty of management in fast flow lesions, follow up is prolonged, volume of alcohol is increased, therapeutic sessions is repeated many times compared to slow flow. Successful treatment is higher in slow flow malformations than fast flow, but latter one is able to be cured. There are no difference between two group in field of complications. However, glycemia is negative correlation with minor complications, natremia is also reverse correlation to postoperational pain. Pain scale, symptom’s onset and APTT are positive correlations with complications.
Key words: fast flow malformations, slow flow malformations, absolut alcohol, major complications, minor complications.
THE EFFECT OF GLYCERINE GEL AND MYLAR STRIP ON THE MARGINAL ADAPTATION OF COMPOSITE - LUTED INLAYS: AN IN VITRO RESEARCH
Authors: Le Ha Thuy Nhung , Tran Tan Tai
Published: June 2022

Background: Composite – luted ceramic inlays were one of the top choices for restorations of anterior and posterior teeth because of high aesthetic, good marginal adaptation and controllable anatomy and lateral contact. If the luting composite was exposed to air condition during polymerization, the presence of oxygen would interfere with polymerization of the adhesive surface layer, adversely affecting the prognosis of restorations. Therefore, it is very essential to evaluate different margin - treating techniques to prevent the formation of an oxygen - inhibited layer during the polymerization of composite resin materials. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of glycerine and Mylar strip on the marginal adaptation of composite - luted inlays. Methods: Thirty class II cavities were prepared on extracted human permanent premolars, randomly divided into three groups: group 1: e.max Press indirect inlays luted by Variolink II were
polymerized in air; group 2: inlays were polymerized after applying glycerine on the restoration margins; group 3: inlays were covered by Mylar strip before light polymerization. To remove the oxygen - inhibited layer, the inlays were brushed with acetone. The clinical evaluation and computerized quantitative marginal analysis under digital microscope were carried out before and after applying acetone. Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant difference between the polymerization with and without the use of glycerine gel, specifically, the inlay margins of group 2 showed better marginal adaptation than group 1 did (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, there was no statistical difference between group 2 and 3 in marginal quality of restorations. Conclusions: Oxygen-initated inhibition during polymerization can be prevented by the application of
glycerine gel and Mylar strip to the surface of composite resin materials

CONSIDERAÇÕES ACERCA DA PERSONAGEM LOBATIANA EMÍLIA EM "MEMÓRIAS DA EMÍLIA" (1936)
Authors: Cordeiro Oliveira Valéria , Beraldo Romano Patrícia Aparecida
Published: June 2022

A literatura infantil e juvenil detém um importante espaço em nossa formação e construção leitora, servindo como base para futuras descobertas que permeiam a vida de um leitor adulto.  A afeição com a leitura desenvolvida através desse gênero se dá, entre outras coisas, pela afinidade que costumeiramente manifestamos com algumas personagens capazes de manter vivo o interesse pela obra lida, tornando-se um ícone que sempre associamos a determinado texto. Monteiro Lobato contribuiu como um importante precursor para a popularização deste gênero ao criar os personagens da saga do "Sítio do Pica-Pau-Amarelo”, entre eles a icônica personagem Emília que, com seu carisma e “asneirices” conquistaria boa parte do público infantil se tornando uma referência na obra lobatiana. A essa personagem que obteve significativo destaque em sua produção infantil, Lobato dedica um livro intitulado Memórias da Emília (1936) que nos ajuda a conhecer melhor as opiniões e pensamentos da famosa bonequinha. Este texto tem por objetivo fazer considerações acerca de como a personagem lobatiana é apresentada nessa obra e acerca de sua evolução no sentido de compreendermos quem é a boneca em Memórias da Emília (1936).
JORNALISMO NA GEADA NEGRA: O BREVE JORNAL PANORAMA (1975-1976)
Authors: Fernandes José Carlos , Zanolla Hiago Rizzi
Published: June 2022

Em março de 1975, a população da cidade de Londrina, no Norte do Paraná, viu chegar às bancas um jornal novo, intitulado Panorama. Recheado de suplementos especiais e escrito nos moldes do new journalism americano, o periódico tinha estre seus autores repórteres e editores oriundos da imprensa alternativa do eixo Rio-São Paulo, assim como da notável revista Realidade. Em meio às limitações impostas ao jornalismo pela ditadura militar instalada em 1964, o grupo migrou para o interior do Brasil atraído pela possibilidade de financiamento empresarial aliado à liberdade de expressão. A resposta a esse estímulo não avançou. A brevíssima circulação do jornal constitui não só um capítulo pouco contemplado da história da imprensa brasileira e da história da leitura, como estudo de caso sobre a distância entre intenção editorial e percepção dos desejos e ritmos próprios do público leitor.

BRINQUEDOS DE CINEMA: EPISTEMOLOGIA E EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Manoel Neto Armando
Published: June 2022

Este artigo indica e questiona alguns dispositivos cinematográficos experimentados em diferentes contextos pedagógicos para sintetizar imaginações e reflexões teóricas que emergem quando se faz cinema em contextos de arte educação.  O texto segue um caminho baseado na observação de percursos e de resultados das práticas de jovens em oficinas e salas de aula, do ensino livre, médio e superior, que se assemelham por serem experiências mediadas por dispositivos cinematográficos trabalhados em atividades seriadas. O texto não está fixado em experiências empíricas e pontuais, mas parte delas para estabelecer conexões de sentidos e atravessamentos essenciais para um entendimento pedagógico do empenho do cinema na educação dos jovens. Propomos pensar assim as imagens, as visualidades e o olhar tanto do espectador, quanto do criador audiovisual, direcionados para dentro do projeto educativo dos espaços, objetos técnicos e modos de fazer da sociedade na qual vivemos.

A CENTRALIZAÇÃO DA NARRATIVA NAS ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL II DE TEIXEIRA DE FREITAS – BAHIA
Authors: Pardinho Valdete Da Macena , Cristal Josinea Amparo Rocha
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho objetivou questionar a escolha dos graduandos em Letras ao privilegiar a literatura em seus trabalhos monográficos. Assim, propomos investigar os programas de ensino do Fundamental II das escolas públicas da cidade de Teixeira de Freitas onde nossos graduandos estudaram. Compõe o corpus, o plano anual municipal em Língua Portuguesa, o plano de aula dos dois semestres de 2018 das escolas pesquisadas e o plano de ensino individual dos professores de LP, daí procedemos com a análise documental, pesquisa on-line e bibliográfica. Focamos nos gêneros e suas sequências textuais/discursivas, partindo da hipótese que a Escola do Ensino Fundamental II privilegia os gêneros textuais como romance, conto, crônica, poema, quadrinhos, notícia, entre outros de sequência narrativa em detrimento dos outros, manipulando os aprendizes a leitores de narrativa. Deste modo, o letramento fica comprometido por se concentrar nesses gêneros literários, visto que todos gêneros e sequências são igualmente importantes para as demandas sociais. Provavelmente, os educandos vão apresentar sérias dificuldades em construir sentidos em textos cujas sequências sejam, primordialmente, argumentativas ou expositivas. Portanto, questiona-se: um leitor proficiente do domínio ficcional/literário teria a mesma competência em outros domínios?
EFEITOS DA PANDEMIA NA EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR
Authors: Parras Rodrigo , Mascia Marcia Amador
Published: June 2022

O presente estudo situa-se no contexto da sociedade atual, que precisou reinventar-se ante à pandemia promovida pela proliferação do Covid-19, incluindo-se aqui as atividades educacionais de ensino remoto, tendo em vista a necessidade de isolamento social para conter a proliferação da doença. O presente estudo visa discutir como a pandemia afeta os professores e os alunos em suas práticas de modo remoto, para tal, nos apoiamos em um estudo bibliográfico, de modo a compreender as narrativas de profissionais da educação com tais práticas. As plataformas selecionadas para o desenvolvimento deste estudo bibliográfico foram Scielo e LILACS, de modo a discutir os estudos realizados a partir de 2020 sobre a educação remota na pandemia. Diante dos dados encontrados foi possível compreender que tanto os professores quanto os alunos foram surpreendidos com um formato de ensino diferenciado, sem que houvesse tempo de serem submetidos a um processo formativo para prepará-los para esta realidade. Por esta razão, muitos tiveram dificuldades com o manuseio das ferramentas de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) e não tiveram como explorar amplamente estes materiais em suas aulas online. No entanto, apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas, a experiência foi considerada positiva devendo ter continuidade mesmo no período pós-pandemia.
O USO DO VOCABULÁRIO NO ENSINO DA LÍNGUA MATERNA
Authors: Pereira Silvana Dias Cardoso , Pereira David Da Silva
Published: June 2022

Este texto analisa o Curso da Língua Materna, escrito por João Köpke (1852-1926) e publicado em 1892, com atenção para a questão do uso do vocabulário no ensino da Língua Materna desde a aquisição da leitura e da escrita até os anos finais da formação por meio das lições de coisas nos onze anos de ensino elementar, intermediário e superior pelo uso do dicionário, de esboços, de atividades de leitura expressiva, de escrita de resumos de textos de vários gêneros. Fundamentaram essa análise autores que têm pesquisas: a) sobre o próprio Köpke, como Ferreira (2014) e Panizzolo (2006); b) voltadas para o vocabulário, como as de Leffa (2000) e; c) da História Cultural, como as de Chartier (1998). Todas essas referências permitem olhar para o livro como fonte e objeto de pesquisa, assim como para a reflexão sobre as palavras e as coisas que essas designam - Foucault (1999).
A REESCRITA COMO ESTRATÉGIA FUNDAMENTAL PARA A APROPRIAÇÃO DA ESCRITA DE ALUNOS DE TERCEIRO ANO
Authors: Radvanskei Sônia i De Fátima , Stacheski Viviane Schueda
Published: June 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a apropriação da escrita dos alunos do terceiro ano do ensino fundamental de uma turma de uma rede municipal de ensino, da região metropolitana de Curitiba, no ano de 2019, utilizando-se da estratégia metodológica da reescrita. Para tanto, foi recortado para esse artigo produções momentos distintos da aprendizagem dos discentes, com as orientações didáticas para as produções e sequências da professora responsável pela turma. Como autores e estudos para fundamentar as discussões foram utilizados os estudos de Gusso e Dalla-Bona (2014); Abaurre (1988, 1991,1994 E 1997) Bakhtin (2011;2017); Cagliari (1998, 2002); Smolka (2012); entre outros que tratam dessa temática. Percebe-se que o professor ao organizar o processo didático com reescritas significativas, priorizando essa metodologia como construção, possibilita a compreensão do processo de escrita, pois a criança consegue elaborar e reelaborar hipóteses, nos diferentes níveis linguísticos.
LEITURA E INFÂNCIA: A ESCRITA DE LÚCIA MIGUEL PEREIRA PARA CRIANÇAS (1937 – 1948)
Authors: Santos Costa de Lemos Aline , Pinheiro dos Santos de Souza Mariana Elena
Published: June 2022

Este estudo objetiva analisar a concepção de infância e de criança em dois contos de Lucia Miguel Pereira (1901-1959), voltados para o público infantil, A fada Menina (escrito em 1937) e Memórias de um Cachorro (1948). Esta pesquisa surgiu do interesse em compreender a inserção de Lúcia Miguel Pereira na produção literária para crianças. A partir, então, dessas duas fontes, foram delimitadas algumas perguntas norteadoras deste artigo: qual o teor dos contos infantis de Lucia Miguel Pereira? Que concepção de infância e de criança os contos apresentam? Que distâncias e proximidades existem entre os dois contos? Para tanto, as contribuições de Gouveia (2000), Wanderlei (1999) e Almeida (2016) nos ajudarão a compreender a escrita de Pereira e sua contribuição para a literatura infantil.

Published: June 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um procedimento para análise do gênero textual Memorial Descritivo, texto muito utilizado na Engenharia Civil e que se faz necessário conhecê-lo para melhor ensinar e produzi-lo. O procedimento para a análise do texto partiu de uma pesquisa de mestrado que visou melhorar o nível de leitura e escrita de estudantes de um curso de Engenharia Civil. Para isso, buscou-se identificar as características do gênero Memorial Descritivo, baseando-se no modelo de análise de textos do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo – ISD (BRONCKART, 2009, 2008, 2006). Neste trabalho apresentaremos os resultados da análise de três memoriais descritivos fornecidos por um profissional engenheiro, que serviram de base como gênero textual de referência.
UMA LEITURA PLURAL DA TRAJETÓRIA DE JOSEPH JUBERT PROFESSOR LIBERTÁRIO E ANARQUISTA EM BRAGANÇA (1900-1920)
Authors: Souza Machado Sandra Aparecida de , Guimarães Maria De Fátima
Published: June 2022

Esta pesquisa aborda a leitura plural da trajetória de Joseph Jubert, professor libertário e anarquista, em Bragança, interior paulista, durante o início do séc. XX. Trata-se de uma pesquisa histórica, na área da Educação. Tem como objetivos analisar e refletir sobre a pluralidade presente na leitura de Joseph Jubert e problematizar o momento em que ele pretendia organizar uma escola racionalista para colonos e seus filhos, nos princípios de Francisco Ferrer e Guardia. A pesquisa é relevante, pois a militância libertária e anarquista no interior do estado é pouco explorada, ainda que dialogue com aspectos mais amplos do cenário nacional e internacional da época. Possui como base metodológica a análise dos processos-crime (1911), que se refere à distribuição do boletim e à calúnia e difamação do padre; aos artigos do periódico A Lanterna (1910-11) e de referenciais teóricos, sobretudo, como Walter Benjamin, Mikhail Bakhtin, Roger Chartier e Paulo Freire. Como resultado de pesquisa, verifica-se a pluralidade na leitura de Jubert, visto que essa se dá na relação com a leitura de mundo, como forma de resistência ao grupo social dominante e no não cumprimento do objetivo de organizar uma escola para colonos na cidade, decorrente da perseguição que Jubert sofreu.
